Pioneer Sought Cure for His Rheumatism

Pike County, OH Republican 25 Jun 1874

Reprinted in Waverly News, Waverly, OH Jul 1973 p.2

"Union Township pioneer offers fifty dollars for the cure of his rheumatism. This man, one Laton Rader, was born October 31, 1811 in Greenbrier County, VA (now WV) and was 65 years old at the time of his interview by the editor of The Pike County Republican some time prior to June 11, 1874.

This re-run, of pioneer folks of Pike County, was number 32 in the series.

Latom Rader

"About 45 years ago- more or less, my father, Noah Rader, removed from Greenbrier County, VA, to Ohio, and settled in "Beaver" in Pike County. He was born in Rockingham county, and at that time lived in Shenandoah county, (VA) His father's name was Anthony, who moved from Rockingham to Greenbrier with his family. My father was next oldest of the family- Michael was the name of the oldest- and afterwards joined the family in Greenbrier. My father and grandfather were farmers in Greenbrier. The later (sic) was a slave owner. My father never owned any slaves but had a good farm of 200 acres. He was beset by the cry which induces so many to leave good homes in Pike and other counties to "go west", who had plenty and to share here, to seek better homes, some of whom succeeded, while others met with adverse fortunes and became poor. He sold his farm there and came to Ohio, where he lived for thirty some years, and died upward of 80 years of age.
"My mother's name was Eva Butcher, daughter of Adam Butcher, also of Greenbrier county, who came to Pike county, entered into the land now owned by Hiram Boggs in Beaver township, and died there many years ago. My parents had fourteen children, twelve of whom they raised - all natives of Greenbrier, except Eva Ann, who was born in this county, and married Peter Theobald. They moved to Missouri where they now are.
"Those born in Greenbrier were James, Adam, Sabina, Laton, William, Mary, Catherine, Christina, Sarah, Andrew Jackson, and Anthony.
"James died when only eighteen years of age.
"Adam married Nancy Tharp. He it was who died one year ago last winter, leaving nine children, they having lost their eldest, Sarah, who lived to marry Reuben Bumgardner.
"Sabina married Vachel Castner by whom she had six children. Mr. Castner is dead, and Sabina is his widow, and now resides in Scioto township, Pike county, near the campground.
"William is in Stiles P.O., Davis county ,Iowa. He married Barbara Smith. They have six or more children.
"Catherine married Jonathan Ensmiger for her first husband. They had five children when they left this part of the country, and went to Kansas. Since then he died and she married a man by the name of Hayes. How many children they have I do not know.
"Christina married James Brown, and they moved to Missouri. From there he went to California and died. He left four children. She has since married a Mr. Collins
"Sarah married Albert White. They had only two children when he died. She had since married James Hull.
"Andrew married Lucinda Porter. They have four children and live in Fayette county, Ohio.
"Antbony (Anthony) lives near by me. His farm joins mine. He married Mary Rogers. They have had four children - all boys, but only one is now alive.
"Eve's marriage is spoke of above.
"As for myself, I have to say that as my father had not much to give to his sons, I had to forge myself, and take it "rough and tumble." We boys used to go out and work for wages, til we could get a little ahead. Father leased the farm on which Adam died. His lease was for seven years. We boys used to lay hold and work clearing a piece of ground each year, (putting it) out in corn, and the (then) hire out. We heeled (heeded) the injunction, whatever thy hands find to do it will be thy might, and in the course of time we find ourselves in possession of land from which we obtained sufficient to maintain ourselves and families.
"In March, 1835, I married Mary Ann H. Lawrence, daughter of Daniel Lawrence. At that time I was getting ten dollars a month, of the late Jacob Barger. In a year of (or) two after we were married I bought twenty-five acres, which is a part of my present farm of 115 acres. I have since added other purchases, so that now I own 250 acres.
"We have had ten children. Two died in infancy. The living are Elizabeth, Wesley, Sarah, Harriet, Mary Ann, Zimri, Maria L., and Charity D.
" Elizabeth married David Sailor. They have four children- Almira, Maria, Mary, and George. They reside near California (???) in Marion township, Pike County, Ohio.
"Wesley married Elizabeth Bean. They have six (?? 8 names follow) children- Thomas, Lincoln, Albert, Wesley, Charles Laton, Frank Leslie, Carrie, and William Edgar. Wesley resides on my farm, at present, and cultivates it for I am so afflicted with rheumatism that I cannot labor, nor depend upon myself to oversee hired help.
"Sarah K. married Pickett Clark, they reside in Jackson county ,Ohio and have had seven children- five are living, viz: Dora L., Francis M., Harriet A., Oley and "the baby".
"Harriet married Reuben Slavens. They have three children- Mary Margaret, Nancy Priscilla and Charley Laton. They live in this (Union) township.
"Mary Ann married John McMonigle-They live in Jackson county, and have three children-Mary Margaret, William Dennis, and John Laton.
"Zimri married Susan Elizabeth Whitman. They live in Jackson C.H. (Court House) and have three children, William H., Charley L. and Frances R.
"Maria and Charity reside with us, and we live in Union township, Pike county, Ohio.
"I have never had the "western fever", and have had a contented mind. Pike is a good enough county for me to live in, and I have been willing to let well enough alone, and believing in the saying that "a rolling stone gathers no moss", I have remained on my farm since I first purchased it, and here I expect to end my days.
"As life is sweet, and we all cling to it as long as we can I am willing to live some years yet. If I can get relief from this suffering I have to endure from rheumatism, it seems to me my life would be prolonged. If anyone can cure me of that disease I will insure him or her of a compensation of at least fifty dollars.
"I was born October 31, 1811, consequently I am in my 65^th year. My wife was born December 13, 1815, and is in her 59^th year. She is a native of Hampshire county, VA.
"Her mother's name was Sarah Hollenbeck.

Noted events in his life were:

• Personal Letter: from Enoch Rinehart, 21 Oct 1855, , Hampshire Co., Virginia. A copy of the original, from which this is transcribed, was in the possession of Keith Shaver of Denver, Colorado. He graciously provided a copy by mail in June 2002 to Roger Roberson who graciously granted permission for me to use it.

The handwriting of the original was pretty good:

Sunday Morning, Oct 21st 1855,

Dear Brother

I now take my seat to answer your letter which came to hand last Sunday. I would have answered sooner but Elijah wrote to you last Monday. Of course I could not have wrote anything new. At this time we are all well I have been since you left. There is some sickness in the neighbourhood. William Johnson has been very sick though I havent heard from him lately. Vause McNary has also been quite poorly but is going about now. there are several cases of chills and fevers in our neighbourhood. Greenwell Johnson family had been sick but is better. Mr. Geo. Baker of Ill. was here not long since and stayed all night with us: he was well and left his family well. He intends starting home in the morning. George W. Baker had a sale this week some time he intends going back to Ill. George W. Polend is going west somewhere I don't know where though.

We have had fine weather last week for seeding. We have sowed over 30 bushels - we want to get this done if we can -. People are generally behind seeding this year: some are not done cutting corn - others just done... Monday Night.. All well. Fine weather for seeding. Everybody is busy engaged that has any of it to do. Park Johnson has been trying the machine it works well.. but wont long - They had to get Geo A. Lease to set it and start it going. We haven't thrashed yet. Catharine Bowman started for Ind. about the 1st of Oct in company of Mr. Thos. Dobbins - Pap wants to know of Margaret whether she wants her money soon or not... Whenever she wants it she must send him a receipt -. There is 500 or 600 dollars coming to her. Further Wm D. Rees will enter as guardian for Robt. P., Sarah A., Wm G. and Susan H. provided there be no objections-- or if no other has been selected -

I recd. a letter from Uncle Enoch last night he and family were well Aunt Bell had bin very sick Not expected to live ror some days -- but was well when he wrote (12th oct). He also stated that John Rees family were well he having seen him a day or two previous -- He compalined some of you not stopping to see him as you passed along - He going to build a new mill this winter provided he gets the water privilege. Ned Biggs wants to know if the laws of MO will permit him to come and live in the state. He seems to be anxious to go No more at present, but write soon & give all the news.

Yours Respectfully
To Mr Stephen C Rinehart Enoch Rinehart

N.B. In your next letter tell us how close the Rail Road will the farm.
They have had a horrible murder at Cumberland
I suppose though will see the particulars in the Argus
Comments of Roger Roberson:
Stephen is apparently already in Knox County, Missouri, the way this letter reads. Presumably he had gone out ahead of the larger family, as he was the eldest of the children, to get everything in order for the family migration West.
The husband, William H. Johnson, of their sister, Margaret, is believed to have died in October of the previous year. The mention here of William D. Rees "entering" as guardian for the named children are Margaret's children with William Johnson. Prior to receiving a copy of this letter, the author had never seen reference to a Susan H. as a child of Margaret. As she is not listed on the 1850 U. S. Census record for William and Margaret, she must have been born after 1850. She must have passed away before adulthood.
If indeed Margaret's husband, William Johnson, had passed away the previous year, then who is the William Johnson mentioned here?
The letter does not clearly say why Margaret stood to obtain $500-600, but that must have been a considerable amount of money in those days! The money was perhaps related to an estate settlement after the passing of her husband.
The Uncle Enoch mentioned here was the younger brother of our Abraham - referred to as "Pap" here. Aunt Bell was Enoch's second wife. They are believed to have moved to Indiana at some point, so perhaps the references to Indiana are related to their children and associated family members.
Ned Biggs would appear to be a servant or slave, judging from his desire to know if "the laws of MO will permit him to come ..."
At present, the author does not know who [in order of appearance] Vause McNary, Greenwell Johnson, George W. Baker, George W. Polend, Park Johnson, George A. Lease, Catharine Bowman, Thomas Dobbins, and William D. Rees are relative to the family - if they are in fact relatives at all.

General Notes: Information given Marylou Nordberg by her family says this family relocated to Cooper City, MO.

I am unable to identify James Clinton Allen in the 1860 census.

There is a James C. Allen listed as serving in a MO Union unit during the Civil War. However, there was another James C. Allen almost the same age living in Callaway Co., MO. There is not enough identifying data to know which James C. Allen served in that unit.

James married Elizabeth "Lissie" GAUER, daughter of Jacob GAUER and Unknown, on 24 Sep 1859 in , Allegany Co., Maryland.¹¹⁹ She was usually called Lissie. They had no children.

Marriage Notes: Marriage based on a letter written by Charity Hollenback Rinehart 17 Dec 1859

General Notes: Jacob Gauer, to whom Elizabeth is linked as a daughter, is not her father. She's linked here until I can figure out where she belongs.

Marylou has a note that says Elizabeth "Lissie" died in child birth and is buried near Frankfort.

James next married Margaret Louise KUYKENDALL, daughter of William KUYKENDALL and Malinda ORRICK, about 1862. Margaret was born on 2 Sep 1838 in , Morgan Co., Missouri, died on 19 Mar 1923 in Otterville, Cooper Co., Missouri^⁴⁵ at age 84, and was buried in Otterville, Cooper Co., Missouri.

Death Notes: Unknown, undated newspaper

Funeral of Mr. Jacob P. Gauer
Last Thursday Mr. Jacob Peter Gauer of near Sunnyside schoolhouse, aged 66 years, 5 months and 19 days, was laid to rest in the graveyard at the Red House church. Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large concourse of people gathered at the church to pay their last tributes of respect to a kind neighbor, friend, and a faithful brother member of the church.

The widow of the departed husband was too ill to accompany the funeral party to the church and consequently the funeral sermon will be preached at some future time.

The cause of Mr. Gauer's death was an affection of the lungs complicated with other causes.

Rev. E. Manges, pastor of St. Mark's Oakland, officiated at the funeral.

Mrs. Margaret Caroline Allen, age 84, widow of the late J. Herman Allen, died at her home on Davis street at 7:55 this morning after being bedfast for the past five weeks. She had been in failing health for the past 4 months. She was born and raised in Garrett County, Maryland, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Blambly. She has lived in Keyser for 60 years. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Deceased is survived by three children, two sons and one daughter, Frank Allen, Lee Allen, and Mrs. Christine Wageley, all of Keyser, one grandson, William Wageley, Jr., three sisters, Mrs. Emma Conaway, Bayard; Mrs. Almeda Baer of near Gormania; Mrs. Tina Murpny, Pittsburgh; two brothers, John and Charles Blamby, Garrett County, Maryland.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, from the home on Davis street, with the Rev. John C. B. McLaughlin, pastor of the Presbyterian Church officiating. Interment will be made in Queens Point cemetery.

Burial Notes: Queens Point Cemetery

General Notes: Marylou Nordberg shows her maiden name as Blamble, her obit uses Blambly. She appears on the 1880 census as Knepp, but is listed under the name of the mother-in-law of John Blambel. From 1900 forward the name on the census is spelled Blamble, which is what I'm using. On the 1880 census those of foreign birth list Wurtenberg; other years' census uses Germany. The 1900 census in Ryans Glade, Garrett Co., MD shows Christine Blamble, a widow, with the same daughter Mary E. who was listed as a Knepp in 1880. Margaret Knepp is listed as her mother, age 92, children 2/1 b Germany. Both Christine and her mother immigrated in 1844 and were naturalized in 1856. Thus, I believe that the parents of Margaret were John and Christine/Christiana [Knepp] Blamble were Margaret's parents.

At some point I found her maiden name as Bramlett, but that must not be correct.

In memory of our mother, Mrs. D. T. Allen, who departed this life November 25, 1922, aged 65 years, 8 months and 7 days.

She leaves to mourn her loss a husband and five-children: Mrs. T. W. Umstot of Westernport; Mrs. W. F. Friend of Keyser; Mrs. W. L. Ellifritz of Knobley and james Allen of Keyser, and Edgar of Frankfort and a number of grandchildren.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. Chanbdler at the Presbyterian church at Frankfort and the remains were laid to rest in the Frankfort cemetery. The floral tributes were many and beautiful.

The children wish to thak the many kind neighbors and friends who were so kind during her sickness and death.

Mrs. Allen bore all her suffering with Faith in Christ and spoke in words to comfort the heart broken ones that watched until the last came. On the morning before she passed to that Great Beyond we asked her if she wanted anything, and her reply was, "No dear children not in my world." so we can safely feel she is at rest.

This child was named Alice for my grandfather's sister who had died just a few weeks earlier; However Lucy Taylor Allen developed childbirth infection and died when my mother was two months old. At this point the baby's name was changed from Alice (as it is still recorded in the family Bible) to Lucy Virginia. My mother's first 4 years were spent with her Aunt Sally (Sarah Ann K T) but her grandmother Taylor was devoted to the three grandchildren until her death when my mother was entering her teens [Frances Carroll]

112. William HOLLENBACK (Thomas²², Thomas³, Thomas¹) was born about 1825 in , , Ohio and died before 1880.

General Notes: It is the land partition below that tied this family to Thomas & Martha of Sullivan Co., IN.

The list of the children of Thomas and Martha Hollenback of Sullivan Co. has been put together using the census, land deeds, and the partition record of his property after his death.

His land is divided into 6 parcels, leading me to believe he had six children who lived to adulthood. It appears that some predeceased Thomas, but left heirs. Four of the parcels are assigned to an individual, while two parcels are left to multiple people. The four individual parcels were assigned to Jane Poston & her husband James, Sarah Rogers, David Hollenback, and Nancy Hollenback, all of whom I believe are Thomas' children.

The parcel assigned to William, Abba, and James Hollenback must be grandchildren, all children of Thomas' son Thomas and Rebecca Chenoweth. Abba is most likely Abigail who married Samuel Lucas. She and her brothers are all found in Tippecanoe Co., IN.

I do not know who Lewis and David Hollenback were who inherited the other lot. A local story lists the children of William H. as William H. Jr and David. I also have children with those names as children of David. At this point, Lewis and David remain a mystery.

Note that Sarah 14 is too old to be either Joel or Martha's Fallowfield's daughter.

The Sarah age 14 above is the same age as Sarah Ragan, and could be the same person, enumerated in two households.
Alice is too old for this 1858 marriage. I believe her correct name is Alice Smith.

Sullivan Democrat
Farmersburg
Mr. Hollenback, an old and respected citizen of this place, died Feb 15th. He had been ailing for several weeks and his death, for the past week, had been hourly expected. He was an honored member of the G.A.R. Post of our town. He leaves a wife and daughter together with a large circle of acquaintances to mourn his death. His family should find consolation in the fact that the omnipotent Creator had granted such a long lease of life to him, and bear in mind that by due preparation, though they are now separated, they may meet again."

Burial Notes: Hollenback Cemetery

General Notes: Although the census never shows it, William lived in Edwards Co., IL during the middle 1880s. That is shown by his pension filings.

from Dr. Maple's Scrapbook [full source is listed on Thomas Hollenback's page] The statement that David and William were sons of William in this article casts doubt on my family divisions. I've used the land partition records and the deeds I could find to make my determination.

The immediate country surrounding the Hollenback and Webb cemeteries was the center of the territory in Gill township, from which the majority of the "Argonauts" of the gold rush of 1849 lived when they left this township for this trip. Among some of those who left for the gold fields of California at this time were William H. Hollenback and his brother, David T. Hollenback, Jr., both sons of William H. Hollenback, Sr., and grandsons of Thomas Hollenback and Patsy Hollenback; Henry R. (Dick) Milam and his brother, John T. Milam, sons of Ambrose and Sarah (Mason) Milam; [list continues]

Of the 15 above named, all later returned to Gill township, except Augustine Clerk, who died while in California, John S. Copeland, who later died there; and David T. Hollenback, Jr., who left California and went to the Western Australia gold country in the rush to that region in about 1870, in which latter country he remained until about 1902 or 1903, when he returned to Sullivan county, bringing with him his married daughter and her two small girls, about 8 and 10 years old. His son-in-law did not return with him. While here, his daughter's husband, living in Australia, became ill and she returned to that country ahead of her father, who followed her and his two granddaughters a year or two later, or shortly after 1904. He lived there for several years upon his return to Australia, where he died in about 1910 or 1912, at a very advanced age, and is buried in Australia.

These deeds are not for land that was part of Thomas' estate as nearly as I can determine. I have nothing showing that Thomas ever owned land in Section 34.

Widow, Application #649.280 Certificate #473.088. Filed in IN

I do not have the Original Declaration for William's claim. However, there is a statement by Chas A Power, 2nd Lt Co D 31st Ind Infantry from Vigo Co., IN dated 4 Sep 1872 stating that William had enrolled for 3 years. In December 1861/2? at Calhoun, KY he was taken with typhoid fever and rheumatism, which settled in his left breast, shoulder, hip and loins; was sent to V.R.C. then discharged at Chicago, Ill Sept 6, 1864, then being mortally disabled as above stated. He was of sound body & health when he enlisted & has been disabled, as above stated, ever since his discharge.

From Richland Co., IL on 28 Oct 1885 William filed for a pension increase, stating he was 48, a resident of West Salem, Edwards County, IL, post office Parkersburg. His certificate No. 141514. He states that the left side of his body is very weak, almost paralyzed.

Rebecca filed for a Widow's pension on 24 Feb 1897, stating that William died on 15 Feb 1897. She stated she was Rebecca Mason and listed their marriage as 2 Apr 1868 at New Lebanon, IN. Her current address was Farmersburg, Sullivan Co., IN.

In Dec 1897 W. A. Johns and W. A. Cowin, aged 58 and 63 state they are Rebecca's neighbors. They list her property as 7 acres of land @ $50 per acre; household goods $30.; cow $30; horse $10. The real estate is described as being in Section 2, T9 R9 in Sullivan county. Her income from all sources since 3 Mar 1897 would not exceed $25.00. That her income was derived from selling butter, chickens & berries raised on her property. She sold her cow & horse for $38. in order to keep from want.

On 13 Apr 1897 Rebecca filed an additional application stating she is a cripple, to such an extent that it is an effort for her to get around at home, hence makes it worse on her and harder for her to make a living. Hence she is dependent on charity, or those not legally bound to support her for a living.

29 Nov 1898 - Cynthia A. Armstrong, of 2015 Liberty Ave., Terre Haute, Vigo Co., IN, age 64, housekeeper, states she nursed Mr. Hollenback for about two weeks prior to his death. She describes his illness and states that he was her brother.

27 Nov 1898 - J. H. Bennett, M. D. age 55 of Farmersburg. Deposition: He states he made a return of his death to the Board of Health, and that he died of typhoid fever and rheumatism.

29 Nov 1898 Deposition of Rebecca Hollenback, age 61, housekeeper, of Farmersburg, IN. She states their marriage was the only marriage for either; that there are no children under 16; that William's pension was $14.00 per month;. She stated that William was a shoemaker and did some mending; bench was at home and he did not work regularly; also made a garden for their own use.

She describes his final illness and states that she and her daughter nursed him and were then joined by Cynthia Armstrong during the last two weeks. His total final illness was about 5 weeks.

She further states that she has only 7 acres of land that has not been divided. If it were divided she would have only the widow's share. She believes it's worth about $50 per acre including the 4-room house. Her only support has been what she could raise on her land and what her daughter could make working out during the summer. The neighbors have helped her some.

On 25 Sep 1916 Rebecca, age 78, applied for a pension increase. Her certificate number is 473,088 and her pension is $12. per month. Her postal address is listed as Farmersburg, R.R.4, Sullivan Co., IN. William H. Poston and Corsa C. Milam attested to her identity.

On 15 Feb 1922 Anna L. Turner, age 45, filed an Application for Reimbursement from Farmersburg, Sullivan Co., IN. She states that Rebecca died 30 Jan 1922. She states there is an executor and that the value of Rebecca's property was $350.00.cash in bank, Rebecca's 1/3 of house and lot assessed at $800.00.

Written large & bold: "It will be inherited by Anna L. Turner, the only child or heir by will."

Anna states that she's their daughter, married, and that her mother died of Erema nephritis. Her illiness began in March 1920. Rebecca lived with Anna and died at her home. She is buried in West Lawn Cemetery.

Expenses listed: $150 physician; $500 nursing and care; $235. undertaker; $1.50 livery; $50. cemetery for a total of $936.50.

Charles E. Sharpe and John L. Lloyd attested to Anna's identity and truthfulness of her statements.

A doctor who responded to some questions lists Anna as Mrs. John Turner.

2 Mar 1922 - A letter was sent to Anna stating that her claim for reimbursement is rejected on the ground that the pensioner left $350. cash assets and 1/3 interest in a house and lot valued at $800., sufficient to meet the approvable expenses of her last sickness and burial, shown to have been $460.00. The charge of $500. for nursing, which is approved for $24.00, because it is shown that pensioner's last illness covered a period of eight days only from January 23 to January 30, 1922. Charges for services rendered prior to date of commencement of last illness or in excess of $3.00 per day cannot be approved.

Burial Notes: Westlawn Cemetery

General Notes: Note: Under the column for sickness or disability as of the day of enumeration, "white swelling"(?) was listed for Rebecca Hollenback.

According to Dr. Jeanette L. Jerger's A Medical Miscellany for Genealogists, p. 162 & 163: a white swelling is "also [known as] tuberculous arthritis. A painful swelling of bone usually found in the joints. The skin remained white over the afflicted site due to an increase in the size of the bone. In the early 1900s it was discovered to be caused by a tubercular infection in the bone."
And from the Merck Manual, p. 137:

"Tuberculosis of Bones and Joints When primary TB occurs during childhood while the epiphyses are open and the blood supply is rich, bacilli often disseminate to the vertibrae and the ends of the long bones, where disease may develop either then or months, years, or decades later...the joints most commonly involved are those that bear weight, but bones of the wrist, hand, and elbow also may be involved, especially if they have been traumatized."

There is further information about Rebecca in the Military Pension File for William.

Burial Notes: Hollenback Cemetery

125. David HOLLENBACK (William H., Sr.²⁵, Thomas³, Thomas¹) was born about 1832 and died after 1914 in Swan Hill, Wimmera, Victoria, Australia.

General Notes: To date I have not been able to ascertain whether it was David s/o David or David s/o William who left for the gold fields of CA. I don't find any records showing two David's about the same age existed. David s/o Thomas inherited from his father. Lewis & David were listed as joint inheritants from Thomas. Lewis died about the time of the partition record. It's possible that David listed on the 1850 census in the HH of David [Sr.] is his nephew and not his son.

In addition to the facts above, David Sr., s/o Thomas & Martha sold his two parcels of land inherited from his father in 1849. David, Jr. went to California during the gold rush, then migrated to Australia. He returned in 1903 and filed a lawsuit against his aunt Jane Hollenback Poston Mason, claiming land as his inheritance that she had sold. Thus, he could not be the son of David, Sr. who had inherited, then sold, his two parcels of land.

Article from the Sullivan Union 7/20/1939
Found in Dr. Maple's Scrapbook in Terre Haute, IN library on microfilm
Sullivan County Pioneers were not immune to '49 "Gold Fever"

William H. Hollenback, Jr., and his brother David T. Hollenback, sons of William H. Hollenback, Sr., and grandsons of Thomas Hollenback and Patsy Hollenback. William H. Hollenback, Jr. returned to Gill township at the outbreak of the Civil War, and enlisted in the Union Army. He died in 1872 and is buried in the Hollenback cemetery near the Rose Chapel church on Gill's Prairie. His brother, David T. Hollenback, remarried in California and later migrated to the gold fields of Australia. He is buried in Australia. (Here see further account of him set out in the article of June 8, 1939).

[I'm not sure David & William were brothers. I believe they could have been first cousins. This article was written about 100 years after they left for the CA gold rush. I believe this because no land was left to Wm., Sr. The people who inherited the other parcels are known. The only ones left to inherit William Sr.'s share are the parcels left to Lewis and David, Jr. William may have gone to CA, but he was back in IN in time to sell land there in 1858.]

Of the 15 above named, all later returned to Gill township, except Augustine Clerk, who died while in California, John S. Copeland, who later died there; and David T. Hollenback, Jr., who left California and went to the Western Australia gold country in the rush to that region in about 1870, in which latter country he remained until about 1902 or 1903, when he returned to Sullivan county, bringing with him his married daughter and her two small girls, about 8 and 10 years old. His son-in-law did not return with him. While here, his daughter's husband, living in Australia, became ill and she returned to that country ahead of her father, who followed her and his two granddaughters a year or two later, or shortly after 1904. He lived there for several years upon his return to Australia, where he died in about 1910 or 1912, at a very advanced age, and is buried in Australia.

In his 1903 lawsuit against Wm. H. Poston, David gives his place of residence as Province of Omeo, in Australia. In searching for information about Omeo, I have learned it's a very small town that was once the hotbed of the Australian gold rush.

From the VisitVictoria website:
Rich history
Visit the A.M. Pearson Historical Park to see the town's original courthouse (1865), post office (1890s), gaol built of logs (1858), blacksmith shop, stables and waterwheel. Take the wine and gold drive from Omeo or Swifts Creek and discover the Cassilis historical area, once among the richest goldfields in the state. Walk or drive from the Omeo township to the Oriental Claims historic area which to this day remains the highest alluvial gold field in Australia

Scenic countryside
Take in panoramic views of the Victorian alps and surrounding countryside at the Kozsciusko Lookout just outside the town along the Great Alpine Road. Go four-wheel driving along the 17-kilometre Knocker Track, or drive to Mount Hotham for its magnificent downhill runs, just 40 minutes away.

Gold discoveries at Walhalla, Omeo and in the scattered settlements near Dargo in Central Gippsland resulted in a steady flow of prospectors to the region during the 1860s and 1880s. You can explore the golden heritage of Walhalla by scenic railway, on foot through the town's restored boom-time architecture, or by visiting Victoria's most profitable gold mine, the Long Tunnel Mine. At Omeo you'll find a pioneer's hut (built in 1868) on display in the historical park alongside the original courthouse, blacksmith's shop stables and water wheel.

Noted events in his life were:

• census: 1860, Scott Valley, Siskiyou Co., California. Living in a hotel
Hollenback D. S/I/J? 24 Miner Ohio
[His age and place of birth aren't correct, but I believe this must be the same person. He left Indiana to go to CA for the gold rush.]

• court case (civil): 1903, , Sullivan Co., Indiana. From the Book "Reports of Cases Decided in the Appellate Court of the State of Indiana" by Appellate Court; an online book on Google Books:

Summary:
An action to quiet real estate title was filed on 15 April 1885 by Jane Mason vs David Hollenback & others not named in this appellate case. A judgment was rendered against David Hollenback, Jr. Jane Mason later conveyed this piece of real estate to William H. Poston, her son. Subsequent to this real estate transfer, Jane Mason died.

David Hollenback, Jr., although considered a U.S. citizen and resident of Indiana, lived continuously in Australia from the date of the original suit in 1885 until 25 Mar 1903. He was attempting to have the judgment set aside based on the fact that he had never received notice. The court ruled against him based on the law stating an appeal of a judgment must occur within 5 years of its ruling. The court and the appellate court ruled in favor of William H. Poston.

• resided: 1903, Omeo, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. In his lawsuit David listed his place of residence as Omeo, Australia.

"Omeo was a rough and tough multicultural mining boom town and
was the centre of the large Omeo Shire (1872-1994) the story of which
the Society and its collection seek to represent."

Burial Notes: Hollenback Cemetery

General Notes: Lewis Hollenback and David Hollenback are listed as Joint heirs for a parcel of land in the partition record of Thomas Hollenback. I believe they are the sons of William Hollenback, son of Thomas.

This is based on process of elimination. I've been able to identify the children of Thomas Hollenback [Jr.], William, James, and Abba. David Hollenback, Sr. inherited his own share. The other children were daughters, Nancy, Sarah and Jane, each of whom received a share of their father's land.

William, as a son of Thomas came from an article about the cemetery and from his bond for land in Licking Co., Ohio, that belonged to Thomas [Sr.] as an heir to Thomas Hollenback of Hampshire Co., Virginia.

General Notes: JAMES N. LEATHERMAN. A resident of Jasper County for more than a quarter of a century, Mr. Leatherman has been engaged in some form of useful service all this time, and was for eight years, county auditor. He is now one of the county's most popular bankers, and his broad experience as a county official and his large acquaintance with the people of Jasper County have done much to increase his efficiency and value as cashier of the First National Bank of Rensselaer.

James N. Leatherman is a native of White County, Indiana, where he was born December 1, 1862. His birthplace was Princeton Township of that county. James and Elizabeth (Hollenback) Leatherman, his parents, were natives of West Virginia and came to White County in the fall of 1850, being among the early settlers. About 1893 they removed to Rensselaer, where the father died in March, 1912, and the mother in 1898. Seven of their eleven children are still living.

James N. Leatherman was reared and educated in White County, and a number of his youthful years were spent as a teacher. That calling he pursued principally in the winter months, and spent the summer seasons in farming. On November 18, 1888, he married Miss Julietta Randle. In September, 1889, about a year after his marriage, he removed to Jasper County, and in this county continued his work as an educator and was also employed in the county surveyor's office. From 1893 to 1904 he was in the grain office now managed by the firm of Babcock & Hopkins. Mr. Leatherman has always been a citizen of public spirit and has taken much interest in local affairs, and in 1902 was elected county auditor of Jasper County, assuming the duties of that office in 1904. By re-election he served eight years all told. Following his retirement from the office he spent one year as assistant cashier and in 1913 was elected cashier of the First National Bank of Rensselaer.

Mr. Leatherman is a republican and is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, Castle Hall, No. 82, at Rensselaer and he and his wife are both church members. Their two children are: Bethel, deceased; and Helen.

Burial Notes: Union Grove Cemetery

from a local genealogist in Harrison Co., MO:
Union Grove Cemetery must be in Daviess County. I have the two volume set of Known Burials in Harrison County and there isn't a cemetery listed as Union Grove.

General Notes: In the Book, Missouri Pioneers, Volume XI, Hodges
H. Bush moved to Adams Township, Harrison County, Missouri in 1858.

After Henry's death, we have copies of deeds showing these transactions that appear to be the division of his estate.

Henry owned land in Section 22 and an equal number of acres in Section 27.

Section 22's portion went to Nancy, William and Abraham. It was deeded to them by Thomas, Elizabeth, & Martin.

Section 27's portion went to Elizabeth & Martin. It was deeded to them by Nancy, Thomas, William, & Abraham.

Notice that Thomas was a seller for both halves. He received no land for himself.

In December of 1888 Martin & Elizabeth got a mortgage of $600.00 on their half of the land in Section 27.

In 1889 William sold half of the land that he owned with Nancy & Abraham in Section 22. I'm not sure how he managed to do that, as he wouldn't have had a clear title. Nancy & Abraham did not sign this deed. There is also a mortgage for $400. on this land, which we don't have. The buyer is to assume this mortgage as part of the purchase price of $800.00.

There is no deed in the stack we have showing the other half of Section 22 owned jointly by the three was ever sold.

In 1890 Martin & Elizabeth sell to William half of their land in Section 27 for $700, and he assumes $300 of their $600 mortgage as part of the purchase price.

The next day William sells the same parcel to C. H. Welden, with the same condition regarding the mortgage, but the purchase price was only $600.00 for Mr. Welden.

There is no deed showing the other half of Elizabeth & Martin's land in Section 27 was ever sold.

George Hollenback, the son of Daniel and Martha Hollenback, was born in Perry Co., Ohio, Dec. 31, 1819. He moved with his parents to Illinois when 17 years old, settling on a farm near Pattonsburg, Marshall county. In 1844 he married Miss Jane Patton. To them were born six children, four boys and two girls--William A. of Blue Springs, Neb.; John C. who died Feb. 16, 1901; George, who died at the age of nine, Nathan P. of Arlington, Never., Elizabeth [Mrs. E. J. Davison of Washburn]; and Sarah [Mrs. J. Grubb of the state of Washington]. His wife Jane Hollenback died Dec. 2, 1858.

He was united in marriage to Mrs. Malinda Warden, May 1, 1859. Two children were born to them--Martha E. [Mrs. James Kerrick of this city] and Cora I. [Mrs. J. Cheeseman of Buckingham, Ill.]

The deceased united with the Methodist Episcopal church in Pattonsburg in 1860 and his home was always a home for the Methodist preachers. [continues about church involvement and his disease] ...finally causing his death on March 28, 1903 at 6:30 a.m. at his home in Minonk, aged 83 years, 2 months and 28 days.

He leaves a devoted wife, six children, 26 grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, two sisters and two brothers. The sisters are Mrs. Lewis Wineteer of Washburn, and Mrs. Samuel Ogle of La Rose. The brothers are Jacob Hollenback of Washburn and Daniel Hollenback of [cut off]

When the deceased was married he moved across the line from Marshall into Linn township, Woodford county, on the 200 acre farm which he owned at his death. He followed farming until Dec. 23, 1884, when he moved to Minonk, buying the old homestead in which he has since lived. For many years he was a liberal contributor, financially, to the cause of religion. Politically he affiliated with the republicans, and in the early days held many local offices in his township. He was a pioneer and one of the oldest settlers of Woodford county, and his early life was full of adventures and interesting reminiscences. He was noted as an expert hunter and the best shot in his locality; when he came to Illinois many deer were to be found. Since moving to Minonk he has lived a quiet, retired life, taking ease and comfort until illness came.

The funeral services were held from the Methodist church, Monday afternoon, March 30, at 2 o'clock. Rev. R. B. Seaman of Momence, Ill., conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Wylie of Normal, and Rev. W. R. Watson of Minonk. [continues with service details].

The remains were conveyed to the Minonk cemetery for interment, accompanied by a large concourse of relatives, neighbors and friends.

There is a list of pallbearers; floral contributions; and out of town guests. Copy is in my files. There is also a card of thanks included from Mrs. Geo. Hollenback and family.

Order Finding Heirship: Probate Court, May Term 1923
states that George died testate on 28 Mar 1903, leaving Malinda Hollenback, widow, who has since departed this life; William A. Hollenback, Nathan P. Hollenback, Elizabeth J. Davison, Sarah Ellen Grubb now Rinehold, Martha Emma Kerrick and Cora Luella Cheeseman, his children, and Minnie E. Hofman, his granddaughter, who was a daughter of a deceased son John Hollenback; that William A. Hollenback has since departed this life leaving Adeline Hollenback, his widow, and Ella Layton, Frank R. Hollenback and Bertha Hollenback his children his heirs and only heirs at law; that Elizabeth J. Davidson has since departed this life leaving her surviving no husband but the following named children, Willmer Davidson, Mabel Elmore and Emory Davidson, as her sole heirs at law; that Wilber Davidson, a son of Elizabeth J. Davidson has since the decease of his mother departed this life leaving him surviving his widow, Nettie Davidson, now Nettie Lloyd and Wayne Davidson [a minor] son as his sole heirs at law; that Minnie E. Hoffman has since departed this life leaving her daughter Blanche Wilson as her sole and only heir at law.

The court further finds that George Hollenback never had any other child or children; that he left no other child or children or descendant of child or children him surviving.

It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED by Court that the surviving heirs at law of the said George Hollenback, deceased at the date of the filing of this order are as follows:
Nathan P. Hollenback, Sarah Ellen Grubb Rineholt, Martha Emma Kerrick, and Cora Luella Cheeseman, his children;
Blanche Wilson a granddaughter; Adeline Hollenback, widow of William A. Hollenback, deceased, Nettie Davidson Lloyd, widow of Wilmer Davidson, deceased, and Ella Layton, Frank R. Hollenback, Bertha Hollenback, Mabel Elmore and Emory Davidson, his grandchildren, and Wayne Davidson a great grandson, and that all of the above are of legal age except Wayne Davidson, who is a minor, and under no legal disability, and that this order be recorded.

Once the heirs were determined (that took awhile) a Bill of Partition was requested in the form of a suit filed by Martha Emma Kerrick vs the rest of the heirs. That Bill of Partition was heard by the court on April 27, 1925. This hearing resulted in various appointments and recognitions by the court, including a final list of heirs, an administrator of the estate, a distribution agent, and guardians for minor heirs. The final distribution was completed and closed on April, 27, 1927.

Final list of heirs who received distribution of the estate of George Hollenback in 1927 is:
Martha Emma Kerrick, Cora Luella Cheeseman, Blanche Hoffman Wilson, Mable Elmore, Emery E. Davidson, Wayne Davidson, William Rinehold, George Emmerson Grubb, Della Pearl DeLong, Lena Myrtle McDowell, William Blaine Grubb, Frank Ernest Grubb, Hattie L. Bathrick, Paul Vivian Grubb, Ellen E. Grubb, Ellen Pearl Grubb, James Lee Grubb.
In this list those from William Rinehold to the end are the heirs of Sarah Ellen Hollenback.

A copy of most of the probate case is in my files. The distributive share per child of George Hollenback was $7160.07 each. The share of the grandchildren was proportional to their number per child of George Hollenback.

• Probate: After Mar 1922, , Woodford Co., Illinois. We don't have a copy of the probate, but George Mills does possess the following:
I [George Mills] have a hand written (actually George E. Grubb's printing) of a property distribution under the title, Kerrick vs Cheeseman etal, No 3041. I do not know the exact date but it is sometime after 1923. This record shows that daughters of George and Malinda Hollenback were Martha Emma Hollenback Kerrick and Cora Luella Hollenback Cheeseman. These girl's were half sisters of my greatgrandmother Sarah Ellen Hollenback Grubb. I have a feeling that the distritbution may have been from George and Malinda's estate when Malinda died. The distribution was five (5) ways, with Martha E. and Cora L. each getting 1/5. The husband and children of Sarah Ellen split a fifth and the other two parts going to who I assume to be children of the other George and Jane children.
Those names include: Blanche Huffman Wilson, Mabel Elmore, Emory Earl Davidson, and Wayne Davidson. The accounting of the distribution was done by Orman Ridgely, Master in Chancery.

176. Daniel HOLLENBACK (Daniel Harrison⁴², Jacob⁶, Thomas¹) was born on 18 Oct 1832 in , Perry Co., Ohio, died on 26 Apr 1914 in Quincy, Adams Co., Illinois^⁶⁶ at age 81, and was buried on 30 Apr 1914 in Sedgwick, Harvey Co., Kansas.

Birth Notes: Daniel gave his birth date as 14 Oct 1834 on a form he completed in 1898 for his military pension file and his obit lists it as 1836. I believe both are probably incorrect.

On the 1850 census, Daniel is listed as age 18 and his brother Jacob Henry as age 22 with sister Sophia as age 20. The ages of the others at death match this census pretty well. Somehow, Daniel aged from 18 in 1850 to only 25 in 1860, and it is that age that progresses through the years, except for his enlistment in the Civil War. On 13 Aug 1862 he gave his age as 29. I believe he was most likely born on either 14 or 18 of October in 1832.

Death Notes: Quincy Daily Herald:
Civil War Veteran died on Sunday - Came to Quincy after the war and had lived here ever since - Leaves three daughters.

Daniel Hollenback died Sunday afternoon at 1:40 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T. T. Smith at 515 1/2 Spring Street, of pneumonia and a complication of ailments due to old age.

Mr. Hollenback was born in Perry county, Ohio, October 14, 1836, and was therefore aged 77 years 6 months and 12 days. Before the war he farmed in Kansas, but after the war he came to Quincy and had lived here since. He was a member of Co. H 77th Illinois regiment.

He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. B. F. Bower of St. Louis, Mrs. F. H. Wieland of Casenovia, Ill., and Mrs. Smith, at whose home he died; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The funeral will be private. Tuesday.

from Debbie Gordon-Thom
The only mention I found of her burial was on the burial plot for the cemetery - it lists a Mrs. George Foote next to George, but I am really glad you asked me to share this, because in looking at it again, I noticed that the entry for Mrs. George Foote shows it is Reserved, meaning she was never actually buried there!

Death Notes: Minonk News Dispatch 10 March 1921
Geo. St. John Foote Dies Last Saturday
Veteran of Civil War Succumbs to Ailments Incident to Advanced Age
Takes Part in Twenty Battles
Has Honor of Being First Soldier to Enter Enemy Trenches at Action at Missionary Ridge
George St. John Foote, a veteran of the civil war, with a record of having participated most bravely in twenty engagements, and who was a resident of Minonk for more than fifty years, died at his home in Minonk on last Saturday afternoon, after being confined to his home for a number of months suffering with a complication of ailments.
The deceased was born at New Canaan, Connecticut in the year 1844, but came west as a youth and located in Illinois. The civil war then broke out and the patriotic spirit of this young citizen was aroused and we find him on August 13, 1862, at the recruiting office at Chicago offering his all to his country. He enlisted in Co K, 88th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and was mustered into the U.S. service on August 27, of that year, his age at the time being nineteen years.
His war record was a very honorable one. Decidedly reticent in his own behalf it was only through his service record and by the word of his comrades that it was generally learned that he participated in twenty battles and at Missionary Ridge he was the first to cross the ramparts and the first of his regiment to enter the trenches of the enemy. Of these deeds he never spoke and his record bespeaks for him a lasting testimonial to his modesty, as well as to his bravery.
Mr Foote was united in marriage on November 25, 1869, to Miss Anna Hollenback, who died in this city on May 1, 1901. Two children were born to this union, Edward Foote of Green Valley and Miss Laura Foote, who lies seriously sick at the Foote home. One grandchild also survives.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev H.H. McFall, pastor of the church officiating. In attendance at the funeral were his comrades, the members of the local G.A.R. Post and the members of the Minonk Post of the American Legion, military honors being given. Burial took place at the Minonk cemetery.

Widow's pension by Harriet filed Appl. 668444, Cert. 625624 or 525624, KS

I did not find the Original Application for a pension in this file. On a General Affidavit dated 3 Apr 1882, Perry states that he can obtain the evidence of only one comrade who know of his disability, but that he has exhausted every means to do so and failed because they are all dead.

A hospital record from his regiment shows that he was admitted on 1 Jun 1864 suffering from diarrhea. It appears he was treated for that condition through 5 Jun 1864. A later addition to that report shows him also treated in July, 1864 for diarrhea.

Received in pension office on May 1883 is a form Affidavit to Origin of Disability. William Filler states he is 44, was an Orderly Seargent in Co. F 160 N? Vols and knows Perry McClellan who was a member of Co. F . In June 1864 near Martinsburg, VA soldier incurred rupture of right side caused by falling in the road in a faint caused by [too faded to read] was on the march at time.

Just after the occurrence were discharged at same time and place at Zanesville, OH at which time the rupture still existed. Discharged in Sept. 1864.

Knew the claimant previous to his enlistment and never knew him to complain of rupture, neither was he bothered just before the march referred to. He knew claimant 5 years prior to enlistment. He lived in Little York, Warren Co., IL.

A letter to the Pension Commission was written by a William H. McClellan, who states he knew claimant was free from rupture prior to service because he had seen him. Although we have the same name, we are not related.

In another letter Perry states that no physician was ever in attendance on any of his family except at the birth of his oldest daughter at Lexington, OH.

A letter to the Commission from Bull City dated 9 Jun 1884: the writer states he had visited at Perry's father's house and they went bathing together and slept together, and Perry was not ruptured and he never heard him complain about it until his return from the service. He has helped him adjust his truss several times. Signed J. H. Rinehart

On 3 Jan 1898 Harriet McClellan applied for a widow's pension, age 58, of Alton, Osborne Co., KS., stating his pension certificate is 742-475. She states he died on 15 May 1896. Her maiden name was Harriet Skinner and they were married on 7 Aug 1862 by Rev. Thomas Harper at New Lexington, Perry Co., OH. Neither had been married previously. There are no children under the age of 16. A certified copy of their marriage record is included in the file stating it is in Vol. 4 pg 207.

A General Affidavit was filed by W. S. McClellan, age 33, resident of Alton, Osborne Co., KS, stating "I have come into the possession of the Bible belonging to my grandfather, and which was in the possession of my father in later years, and as to the correct name as it appears in said Bible herewith attach a true copy of the same further states that my father Perry McClellan had a limited education and he very frequently signed his name Perry Mclellan, but the true name and correct name Perry McClellan. Family Bible Record: Perry McClellan was born August 16, 1836." [I did not find the copy to which he refers in the file.]

A certificate of Property Assessments for Harriet for the years 1897-1901 shows she owned Lot 3 & 26 ft S side lot Block 21, Alton KS. In 1897 it was valued at $260 and she had 2 hd cattle and 2 hogs valued at 15.00. In 1898 the value dropped on the property to $230 and 1 had cattle & other personal property was $30.; 1899 lot same & personal property & 1 hd cattle worth $20.00; 1900 property valued at $220 and she had no personal property.

From Logan Co., Oklahoma Territory, J. H. Rinehart, age 57 and W. J. Rinehart age 51, P.O. Evansville, OK state they know both Perry & Harriet prior to their marriage, during their marriage, and after Perry died. Neither had been married previous; they lived together as husband & wife; were never divorced. They state they were raised in the same neighborhood, visited with them, and later by seeing them often and by correspondence with said soldier and his wife.

Patrick H. Campbell, age 62, local Postmaster filed an Affidvait stating he knew the couple well. Harriet's only income since the death of her husband was rent from her Lot 3; and a tract 26 feet by 130 feet off the south side of Lot 2 in Block 21, Fifields Addn. to Bull City, now Alton, KS. Her clothing & household goods were worth perhaps $10-12. She is living with her children, and because of her paralytic condition she is entirely helpless.

on 31 Oct1901 from Smith Center, Smith Co., KS, Harriet filed an Affidavit stating that she disposed of the real estate to aid her in her afflicted condition. It was sold about 1 Oct 1901 to L. A. Hill for $624.00. Witnesses to her signature were A. M. Rinehart & Gertrude Harlan.

The final paper is stamped Dead, but the ending date is not filled in. Another stamp says Dropped, Dec. 10, 1904, dead and ??; Dec 16/04

"At the request of Jacob H. McKeever of Wymore, Nebraska, I have examined the old family Bible of William McKeever his father now in the hands of Susanah Williams his oldest sister nearly 77 years old and a resident of this place for many years.

Se stated he enrolled on or about the 24 Sep 1861 as a private in Co. A 62 Reg't of OH commanded by Capt. John Edwards, and was honorably discharged on 7 Dec 1865. He states he is 65, 5' 11.5" tall, dark complexion, grey hair, and brown eyes. He suffers from an injured left shoulder and is partially blind in the left eye, has piles, and rheumetism of the left shoulder. He has not been employed since 7 Dec 1865.

He employed Wm. L Osman of Beatrice to act as his attorney. He was granted Pension Certificate No. 612,179.

On the 30 Jan he completed a form from the Pension Bureau showing the following:
Born 11 Jun 1838 in Perry County, OH.; Enlisted 24 Sep 1861 at Roseville, Perry Co., OH and that he had previously lived in Morgan & Perry counties, OH. He was a farmer at enlistment. He was discharged on 31 Dec 1863 and again on 7 Dec 1865 at Hilton Head, S.C. and Columbus, OH.

This appears to have been done for an increase in his pension now that Jacob had reached the age of 75.

In 1915 he completed another form stating that he married on 27 Jun 1859 and that his wife was Harriet Amanda Bauley/Beesley. They were married by Reverend Moody of Deaver Town, Morgan Co., OH.

DEATH COMES TO MRS. GEO. B. THOM SUNDAY MORNING
Funeral Services Held on Tuesday Afternoon for Prominent Woman

Mrs. George B. Thom, well-known 88 year old resident of southwest of this city, passed away a 6:00 o'clock Sunday morning at her home of infirmities of old age. She had been in failing health for some time but had been seriously ill only about ten days previous to her passing.

As Sarah Linn McKeever, she was born September 13, 1850, at Zanesville, Ohion, one of fourteen children of William and Susan Hollenback McKeever, and at the time of her passing was aged 88 years, 5 months and 6 days. She came to Illinois with the family in about 1863, and had spent most of the remainder of her lifetime in this community.

She was united in marriage with George B. Thom in Chatsworth, February 6, 1870, and they went to housekeeping at Chatsworth, where they remained for about a year. They then returned to this community, and moved to the old homeplace northwest of this city, which had since been her home. Mr. Thom preceded her in death, December 19, 1930.

They were the parents of seven children, all of whom survive, as follows: Mrs. Isaac H. Smith, Mrs. J. C. Smith, Mrs. Adelbert Taylor, and Miss Daisy Thom, all of Minonk; Mrs. Bernice Sumpter of Anoka, Minn.; George Thom of Sloan, Iowa; and Stoddard Thom of Morrhead, Minn. She is also survived by her sister, Mrs. Anna Davison of this city, the last of the family of fourteen; eighteen grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

[print not clear] She was baptized in the Christian Church and had attended the Presbyterian Church. ...

GEORGE B. THOM IS CALLED SUDDENLY
Pioneer Farmer Resident Drops Dead Friday from Heart Attack
Walking Home in Hard Road
Funeral Services are held at Presyterian Church on Monday Afternoon-Burial here

George B. Thom, sturdy, worthy citizen of this vicinity for more than 66 years dropped dead on the hard road at the south edge of Minonk Friday evening at about 4 o'clock. He had been suffering with heard trouble and this was given as the cause of his death.

Mr. Thom had been in Minonk in the afternoon conversing with his friends and when he left to walk hom he followed his normal custom of carrying a basket of food supplies. Evidently he had felt the attack coming on, as he had set down the basket and sat at the side of the road before keeling over.

Mr. and Mrs. ? Blonts were the first to arrive on the scene and at that time Mr. Thom was still breathing. State Patrolman Ivan Williams soon arrived and then Coroner S.E. Tallyn was called, who brought Mr. Thom to his store. By then life had fled.

Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Monday aternoon, Rev. M. W. Mosbacher officiating. Burial was in Minonk cemetery.

[pallbearers listed]

George Bryson Thom was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, on Jan. 26, 1850. He was a lad of but 15 years when his parents came to America and located on a farm near Minonk, whic [print missing] .... For a short time Mr. Thom worked in the local coal mine, but later returned to the farm and proved to be an industrious and capable farmer.

...smeared...was baptized at the Minonk Christian church. He oftentimes spoke of the severity of his early religious training, having been brought up as a boy in strict Scotch Presbyterian style, with all of the rigid discipline then customary as concerned the Sabbath day. That it irked him then, he was bold to admit, but its value he did not deny.

On February 6, 1870 he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Linn McKeever of Minonk, to which union seven children were born, all of whom with the widow survive. Mr. Thom's death brought the first break in the immediate family in 60 years.

The children who survive are Mrs. Isaac H. Smith of Minonk; Miss Daisy Thom as home; Mrs. J. C. Smith of Minonk; Geo. A. Thom of Sloan, Ia; Mrs. Stoddard Thom, of Moorhead ...rest too blurred to read...

Burial Notes: Minonk Cemetery

General Notes: George B. Thom was born in Scotland and became a naturalized US citizen.

The house is the one George B. built about 1910 on the family farm in the north half of Section 19. The original house the Thoms lived in when Sarah Linn and George were first married is no longer standing, although you can still see where the driveway entrance was about 1/4 mile east of the present residence.

My husband is descended from their son, Louis Stoddard Thom, and the family has heard and talked about this house over the years although no surviving Thom has ever seen it. Louis Stoddard's second wife had a "breakdown" shortly after her fifth child was born, and she was hospitalized for the remainder of her life. She didn't believe that the baby was hers and seems to have been "trapped" in time for the rest of her long life. The baby, her only daughter, was raised by another family and never knew anything about her real family - she knew who her biological father and siblings were, but had little contact and did not see her mother until her mother's funeral. The boys were sent to live in a boarding school, and while they saw their father occasionally, they didn't go home for holidays. Louis Stoddard had moved to Minnesota fairly early in his first marriage and had little contact with his family. While he talked about the house with them, none of his children ever saw it. So it was especially wonderful to locate the house and be able to send them all photos. It was great to see that it is very well kept up and seems set in an oasis of trees amid hundreds of acres of cornfields.

Written by Debra Gordon-Thom and sent with the photo of the house George B. Thom built.

General Notes: DONALDSON Looking for any information on James W. and Caroline Virginia Donaldson and her father Thomas LEISE. They were in the 1870 census in Neosho County and then moved to Elk County early 1870's. I can't find a death record for Thomas in either county although I am pretty sure he died there. The Donaldsons lived in Elk Co. until about 1880, had one son William Donaldson. James was a freighter, I found several articles in an old paper about him. They lived in Elk Falls too, I think. Any information on this family would be appreciated. Thanks, Hazel Thornton [email no longer works]

I cannot find William L. Donaldson or his son James W. in the 1910 census.

The child from this marriage was:

+ 741 M i. William L. DONALDSON was born on 24 Aug 1864 in , Clark Co., Illinois and died on 11 Sep 1922 at age 58.

225. William LEISE (Thomas Alexander LEISE⁴⁸, Sarah HOLLENBACK⁷, Thomas¹) was born about 1845 in , , Illinois.

226. Isaac McNARY (Cintha M. LEASE⁴⁹, Sarah HOLLENBACK⁷, Thomas¹) was born about 1822 in , , Virginia and died between 1855 and 1860.

Death Notes: Isaac is enumerated on the 1855 IL State census, but is missing on the 1860 Federal census.

General Notes: The placement of Sarah C. as Isaac's wife is a GUESS. They were all living with William and Cintha, including the children attributed to them. These children were too old to belong to Cintha, yet they carried the McNary name. It's possible that they belonged to Sarah as an unwed mother, but Isaac would have been old to be single. The 1850 census didn't list marital status, only gender and race. By 1880 Sarah listed these two as son and daughter.

Isaac had a relationship with Sarah C. UNKNOWN, daughter of Unknown and Unknown,. This couple did not marry. Sarah was born on 21 May 1827 in , , Ohio, died on 2 Aug 1906 in Marshall, Clark Co., Illinois at age 79, and was buried in , Clark Co., Illinois.

Burial Notes: Auburn Cemetery

General Notes: It is possible that Sarah is the widow of Isaac and not a daughter of William & Cintha. It's also possible that she married a McNary cousin, as Pearce and Cintha C. are listed on the 1850 census, but that doesn't explain Annis. On the 1880 census Pierce and Annis are listed as son and daughter of Sarah. Cintha Cleora has disappeared by 1880. I have not found an IL marriage for Sarah, yet she lists her children's father as b IL. All the online trees list Sarah as a daughter of Wm. & Cintha, and assign Sarah's children as her siblings.

I also believe it's possible that Sarah was the wife or daughter of Nimrod McNary. He bought land in Clark Co., IL in 1841 while a resident of Hampshire Co., VA. I've long believed that William McNary might be related to Nimrod. There are 2 Nimrod McNarys listed on the 1840 census of Hampshire, one age 30-40 and one 50-60.

They are enumerated on the same page with Kesiah Hollenback, James Allen, William Hollenback, Zimri Hollenback, Abraham Rinehart, Jr., George Leise, John Leise, and many others that tie to our family.

I found the will summary of Ebenezer McNary online. Nimrod and William McNary were listed as his sons along with a daughter Susan Rees.

The 1892 plat book for Clark county has this entry:
McNary, Sarah
Marshall Township, Section 33
I have looked at this plat map. She is listed as the owner of the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Sec. 33 in Marshall Twp., 40 acres.

Noted events in her life were:

Sarah 33 OH
Howard 20 IL
Louisa 18 IL
Margaret E. 14 IL

Cyntha appears to be too old for these last 3 children to be hers. She would have been over 50 when all were born.

• census: 1870, Marshall, Clark Co., Illinois. Pg 374
McNary Sarah 42 $350 $100 OH

Pierce appears to have been listed twice...both here and with Elizabeth McNary Washburn. Cleora is most likely the Cintha C. listed with Cintha Leese McNary, age 2, in 1860. The last child is a mystery to me.

Pierce, Cintha & Henry were children living with Cintha Leese McNary in 1860, children that appeared to be too young to be hers. Are they Sarah's out of wedlock children? Below is the data for Henry:

227. Elizabeth McNARY (Cintha M. LEASE⁴⁹, Sarah HOLLENBACK⁷, Thomas¹) was born on 18 Nov 1824 in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio and died after 1900.

Birth Notes: from History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois

Death Notes: She does not appear on the 1910 census.

General Notes: The online tree of Freda Whetstone lists her birth place as Columbus, Franklin Co., OH.

On the 1892 plat map of Clark County, Mrs. E. Washburn owns 72 acres in Section 20, Marshall Twp. The land is this section is divided oddly, so I can't write a description for it. Some of her land is in the SW 1/4 and joins the land designated as Wm. Washburn's at her SW corner.

Elizabeth married Nathaniel WASHBURN on 28 Sep 1848 in , Clark Co., Illinois.¹⁴³ Nathaniel was born Calc 10 Sep 1815 in Manchester, Adams Co., Ohio and died on 17 Jun 1875 in Marshall Twp., Clark Co., Illinois^¹⁴⁸ about age 59.

Birth Notes: The location of his birth came from History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois. A calculation from his tombstone give a birth date of 10 Sep 1815.

Death Notes: The History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois, lists the date 27 May 1874.

The date of death listed at Find A Grave shows he died 27 May 1875, not 1874. The photo of the tombstone shows the year clearly as 1875.

General Notes: Nathaniel Washburn had a wife prior to Elizabeth. Buried in the same cemetery as Nathaniel is Mary Washburn, wife of N; d 6 Mar 1847, 29 yrs 2 mos 2 days' Cal 4 Jan 1818.

Noted events in his life were:

• Deed: 1 May 1850, , Clark Co., Illinois. Nathaniel Washburn of Clark Co., IL purchased from the federal land office of Palestine, Illinois the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 in Section 20 T11N R12W of 2nd P.M., 40 acres of land, for which he paid $50.00.

Children from this marriage were:

+ 744 M i. William W. WASHBURN was born on 24 Jul 1849 in , Clark Co., Illinois and died on 13 Aug 1925 in Marshall Twp., Clark Co., Illinois^⁷⁰ at age 76.

+ 748 F v. Elizabeth E. WASHBURN was born in Apr 1861 in , Clark Co., Illinois.

228. Cyntha Minerva Sophia McNARY (Cintha M. LEASE⁴⁹, Sarah HOLLENBACK⁷, Thomas¹) was born about 1831 in , , Ohio and died before 1880.

Death Notes: I could not find a remarriage for Cyntha, nor could I find her on the 1880 census. I couldn't find her husband either. Both of her children married and moved to Cumberland Co., IL by 1880 and neither parent was living with them.

General Notes: I originally had her name as Cintha. I then found many listed her as Cintha Minerva. The 1870 census lists her as Sophia. That's why she has 3 given names.

However, an online tree shows she died in May of 1870 and that William Auld married another woman named Sophia. It has no date or place for that marriage. Oddly, the data on the 1870 census matches that of Cintha....her age and her birth state. I find no marriages for a William Auld to a woman named Sophia in either IL or IN.

General Notes: According to an online tree of the Auld family, his parents were Samuel Auld, Jr. and Mary Melou. His first wife was Mary Eaton. They were married in New Philadelphia, OH on 22 Apr 1830.

from Find A Grave for Mary Eaton Auld
Birth: Jul. 16, 1811
Pennsylvania, USA Death: Sep. 19, 1851
Wife of William Auld

That tree shows Sophia of the 1870 census as another wife. There is no marriage in IL or IN listed for a William Auld to any woman named Sophia. Sophia of 1870 is the same age as Cintha and b OH. I believe it's likely the same woman.

Children from this marriage were:

+ 749 M i. Franklin AULD was born about 1858 in , Clark Co., Illinois.

This story is about Reverend Samuel Umstot, born April 10, 1837, Hampshire Co., Virginia. He lived in Reeces Mill. He died July 18, 1923, Mineral Co., West Virginia, and is buried at Baptist Chapel Cem., Cabin Run, Mineral Co., West Virginia. He married Catherine Hollenback.

On the reverse of the clipping it's mentioned that Emporer William's yacht Hohenzollern is 11 years old. The date of the yacht's launching was apparently 1902, according to Internet sources, so apparently this clipping was from 1913, making Samuel about 76 years old at the time this happened.

A WHOPPER Seems This Story, but as a Minister Tells It It will Have To Go.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
Parkersburg, W. Va., January 29 - Rev. Samuel Umstot, a Baptist Minister, of Mineral County, widely known and wealthy, met with an unusual experience here that came near causing his death.

While attending to some duties that called him from home after night, he happened near the sloping bank of a creek. His feet slipped, and before he could check himself he broke through the ice at the creek's edge and was precipitated into five feet of water.

Contact with the ragged edges of the ice and the freeezing water rendered him unconscious, and he remained in that state at the bottom of the stream for some time---he does not know how long. Finally recovering consciousness he was almost dead, and in an instant the seriousness of his situation flashed upon him.

Seeing five feet above him an opening the the ice, he sought it, and after great effort succeeded in reaching dry land, and, more dead than alive, reached home. Unreasonable as this may seem, Rev. Mr. Umstot vouches for its truthfulness, and no one who knows him questions his veracity.

from History of Hampshire County, West Virginia:
Mission Baptist Church: Little Capon church at Barnes' mills, Rev. Samuel Umstot is at present pastor in charge.

In a 1902 letter from Samuel, son of Peter and Rachel's youngest son, John, written to Mary Rose he said, "Abram Umstot, your father, and Peter Umstot, your uncle both moved to Ohio when young men. He also referred to her brother, Martin, who he had heard was now dead (in 1902)"]

Death Notes: from online tree with no contact data:
Census said she had eight children and all were living. Resided in
Harrison Twp. at time of death. Kroeger record lists date of death as
January 15, WPA record as Feb 15. Parents were David Williamson born in Ohio and Marie Hollenback born in Virginia.

Headstone at Fletcher's Lake Cemetery, Fletcher's Lake, Indiana

General Notes: Alfred & Emily's list of children is a puzzle. On the 1900 census Emily lists her children 8/8. I have only 7 children. On the 1900 census they list a daughter, Alice b Jun 1870 age 29. My first thought is that Alice is Martha A. However, the age is off by 5 years. I cannot account for the 8th child. Several online trees list the 8th child as Arthur Elliott b 4 Jul 1880. That birth date would allow for Arthur to not be listed with his parents in either 1880 or 1900. I've added Arthur.

Birth Notes: I am placing these children here based on the entries I found on WFt .
They are in the right area, but I have no proof that these are Henry's
children, or that Hannah Cross is their mother. This particular son
is born years prior to the marriage date the researcher lists. (July
2004)

Death Notes: Obituary found in Marion (IN) News-Tribune, Thursday, May 28, 1903, on microfilm at Marion (IN) Public Library:
DEMISE OF HENRY'S FATHER
Henry Hollenback, a carpenter of this city, received a telegram last evening announcing the death of his father, Joseph C. Hollenback, at Grass Creek, Fulton County, Indiana. The deceased was 71 years old and a pioneer resident of Fulton County. Henry Hollenback and Miss Elsie Holliday, a granddaughter of the deceased, left at 2:30 o'clock this morning over the Pennsylvania road for Grass Creek to be present at the funeral services.

General Notes: I have copies of the pages from the Bible of Joseph C. Hollenback.
Holy Bible
Old and New Testaments
Apocrypha, Concordance, and Psalms
Philadelphia: William W. Harding, 1860

These pages were provided by Arlene Johnson. She also included these notes for this Bible:
Inside cover - Clarence, Mary Lee [daughter of Clarence] Mary & Devilla are the children of Henry Harrison Hollenback.

John, son of Clarence, sent this Bible to me. I think the Info on the inside cover is the handwriting of Wilma, wife of Clarence.

Last page Deaths - Joseph C. Hollenback is the only entry in pencil, and didn't copy well.

General Notes: According to Mary's grandson, Lester, related to this researcher in an interview, his grandmother Mary lived with his parents, Henry Harrison and Ella Hollenback, after his grandfather Joseph died in 1903. Uncle Lester refused to talk about Mary except to say she was NOT a pleasant person. His dad finally had enough of it, and put her in the Old Folks Home in Mexico, Miami Co, Indiana. [Arlene]
