DIED---At his residence, in Perry Township, Sept. 9, 1879, William Hollenbeck, aged 52 years. The deceased was a man well thought of by a large circle of friends, and his death has made a vacancy that will be hard to fill.

He has been a resident of this county for many years, and was known for his uprightness and integrity.

His funeral took place on Thursday at Clark's Hill; services by Rev. Lewis.

He was born by the Masons, of which order he was an honored member. The procession was nearly a mile long, showing the high esteem in which he was held by his many friends.

The reading from this stone should say 1879, not 1829. There is no online photo to check.

There are 2 Find A Grave entries for this burial, one as Hollenback and one as Hollenbeck. One has the obit and the correct death year with a note "No stone found". The other has the information listed above, which appears to come from a stone.

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,Sr., 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.

From the Probate papers of James Poston, husband of Jane Hollenback:
We, Oakey Miles/Mills? And Aaron W. Spruyer/Springer? Do solemnly swear that we with truly honesty and impartially appraised the real estate of James Poston late of Sullivan Co., deceased, according to the best of our judgment and ability, so help us God.

General Notes: W.S. Irwin was my gg uncle. He died 29 April 1906 in Colfax, Clinton Co. IN and is buried in South Salem, Ross County OH with his first wife, Sally McMunn Irwin.
a Rosanna Hollenbeck w/o William was born 30 Mar 1834, died 22 May 1905 and is buried at the Plainview Cemetery, Colfax, Clinton Co. IN ( no mention of William's dates in this account.)

In a personal biography of William S. Irwin, it mentiones Rosanna and that she was married to William Hollenbeck and had a boy and a girl. . . The son emigrated to the west in his younger days and is now running a prosperous publishing house in Seattle, Washington.
Hope this helps. Mary Ellen Mattingly Clinton Co. IN

Rosanna had a brother; William Vance Rinehart b 1835. William crossed the states to go to the CA Gold Fields in about 1850. He returned to Indiana with some gold. He returned to the Pacific Northwest, served in the Military for awhile and lived in both Alaska and settled in Washington State. Horace Hollenback would have had Aunt's Uncles and Cousins when he lived in Washington.
Cindy Boeing [cindy.boeing@yahoo.com]

According to researchers of Rosanna's line, she was one of twelve children. Her siblings were Henry, Mary, Jacob C., Jacob Owen, John Byers, David, Jr., Allen, Tilgham, Catherine, William Vance, and Samuel Houston.

Rosanna was an amazing business woman, it seems. She purchased and sold several parcels of real estate in her own name. She reserved a life estate in a parcel she sold to her son, then lived about 25 more years. William neither signed or was mentioned in her real estate transactions.

Noted events in her life were:

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.

From "Biographical History of Tippecanoe, White, Jasper, Newton, Benton, Warren & Pulaski Counties, Indiana", vol I&II, Lewis Publishing Company:

Daniel E. Storms, one of the well known and highly esteemed members of the Tippecanoe County Bar, is a native-born son of this county, who has passed his whole life here, with the exception of the time when he was away at college, and no one is more thoroughly identified with the best interests of Lafayette than he. An ardent, hard-working Republican, he possesses many warm friends in the party and has made numerous effective, eloquent speeches during campaigns for the past six years or more. He is now chairman of the tenth district of the Indiana Republican League. In the fraternities he is a Master Mason, belongs to the Knights of Pythias and is adjutant of the Eighth Brigade, Uniformed Rank of the Knights of Pythias, and at present Grand Prelate of the Grand Lodge of Indiana.

In the traditions of the Storms family is one to the effect that four brothers of the name, natives of Germany, were among the early colonists of Virginia, and that their surname was originally spelled Sterm, and later Storm, Storme and Storms. Several of their descendants were soldiers in the war of the Revolution, and others served in the War of 1812. Peter and Daniel Storms, brothers, and sons of John Storms, all natives of Virginia, went from their own state to Ohio and thence Indiana. Here they were numbered among the pioneers of Tippecanoe County, and continued to dwell here until death put an end to their busy lives. One of the sons of Peter was Abner Storms, the father of our subject. He was born in this county in 1826 and for many years was extensively engaged in farming in the vicinity mentioned, enjoying the fruits of his former toil, and respected and loved by a large circle of friends whom he has endeared to himself in the past. For a long period he was a local minister in the United Brethren Church. His wife, whose maiden name was Philetta Jackson, was a native of Clinton County, Indiana, and was a distant relative of Andrew Jackson.

A Memorial and Biographical Record of Iowa, pg. 943

JOSEPH STORM is a worthy representative of the agricultural interests of Dallas county and a progressive and highly respected citizen.
A native of the Hoosier State, he was born in Tippecanoe County, in July, 1839, and is a son of DANIEL and REBECCA (WRIGHT) STORM. His paternal grandfather was PETER STORM, and his maternal grandparents were RUNOLDS and PHOEBE (PARSONS) WRIGHT. Both died in Iowa when well advanced in years.

The father of our subject was a native of Bartlett County, Virginia, born in 1799. About 1823 he emigrated to the Hoosier State, locating in Tippecanoe County, where his death occurred at the age of seventy-four. His wife was born in Wayne County, Indiana, and also departed this life in Tippecanoe County. On both sides our subject is descended from honorable, industrious families who were largely engaged in agricultural pursuits. He had two uncles who served in the war of 1812.

JOSEPH STORM was reared on the old home farm, spending the greater part of his minority under the parental roof. The district schools of the neighborhood afforded him his only educational privileges, but through reading, experience and observation he has made himself a well informed man. He was the eldest of nine children, of whom one sister and four brothers are yet living. He has been a resident of Iowa since 1856, at which time he purchased 240 acres of wild prairie land and with characteristic energy began its development and improvement. His labors were arduous in those early days, but with a commendable perseverance he kept up his work, and as his financial resources were increased added to his land from time to time until he now has about 2,500 acres, being probably the largest individual land-holder in the county. His present home was built in 1872.

Since casting his first presidential vote for John C. Fremont, MR. STORM has been a stalwart advocate of the principles of the Republican party and has filled several local offices with distinction. His life furnishes many valuable lessons that might be profitably followed. His career demonstrates what can be accomplished by strict integrity, frugality and close application to business - qualities that have made him one of the most substantial citizens of Dallas county.

supplied by Rhonda via Ancestry Message Board

General Notes: The middle name Noble comes from David's death record. His mother's name on his death record is only "close". Her name was Anna Poston, but his death record names her Jane Potten. My guess is his daughter mixed together the names of his aunt whom she'd met and his mother whom she had not.

Based on records found by some wonderful helpers in Australia, David's death record lists his father as David. His application for naturalization gives his date of birth. Also, a ship's records show that his father and brother left Australia in 1855 on the Red Jacket bound for Liverpool, England.

In the Ballarat goldmining area there was a Mount Hollenback. As a matter of interest. . . . .
The Western Australian goldrush only commenced in the 1890s but the Victorian goldrush commenced in the 1850s.

Rhonda

On David's return to Sullivan Co., IN we've found he claimed land that should be his as the parcel left to David & Lewis Hollenback and the parcel left to David Hollenback in Sections 35 & 36; part of the section left to David & Lewis in Section 20, and part of Section 2 which was originally owned by David and William Hollenback as Tenants in Common.

Much of the information in Dr. Maple's scrapbook is inaccurate.

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, it would seem he could not be the son of David, Sr. who had inherited, then sold, his two parcels of land, except his Australian death record lists David as his father and Anna Potten as his mother.

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:

1. resided: 28 Feb 1852, , , , Australia. David's application for citizenship in Australia states he arrived in Australia on 28 Feb 1852 on the Tom Tuf and disembarked at Sydney, New South Wales.

[His age and place of birth aren't correct for the David who went to Australia and stayed there as nearly as I can determine, and used the middle name Noble. This person would have been b abt 1835-6 when no member of Thomas Hollenback's family was still in OH.]

On 5 Jul 1861 David S. Hollenback was appointed Postmaster of Quartz Valley post office at Siskiyou Co., CA. The P.O. or the appointment was discontinued 27 Jun 1863.

David Sidell Hollenback 1867 Voter at Scott Valley, Siskiyou Co., CA

I did not find him in the 1870 census or any other record after 1867.

3. 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."

4. court case (civil): 28 May 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, heir of Jane.

A copy of the original suit contains the following:
With my magnifying glass for the partitioned plat, and the legal description in the lawsuit filed by David, I've figured out it is the parcel set aside for David Hollenback, Jr. & Lewis Hollenback and the parcel left to David Hollenback, Sr.

There are wee numbers along the left edge. I didn't understand what they meant before, but now believe it's the number of chains and links measured north from the bottom of Lot No. 1. This is the actual description in David's suit:

"Beginning thirteen chains seventy-five links north of the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of section 35 T7N R10 W"…..

Those wee numbers on the left edge add up to 13 chains, 75 links to the bottom of Lewis & David's Lot 3.

It goes on to say the lines runs east 80 chains [not on plat] to the east line of the southwest quarter of section 36, thence north 12 chains ….that takes in both the plat left to Lewis & David, Jr. and the plat left to David, Sr. ….one is 6 chains 25 links and the other is 5 chains 75 links for a total of 12 chains…. And it continues…west 80 chains, thence south 12 chains to the place of beginning containing in all 96 acres. …..The total I get when adding 45.91 and 49.93 is 95.84 acres.

In the earlier sales of any of these parcels they were referred to either by Lot # or simply as "all my interest in" the entire piece of land in Sec 35 and Sec 36.

5. court case (civil): Circuit Court, Jun 1903, , Sullivan Co., Indiana. David sues the Merom Gravel Co. and the individuals James H. and Lydia A. Draper stating they are owners in fee simple, as tenants in common, of the following tract of land: 17.5 acres off the West end of the North Half of the SE 1/4 of NW 1/4 of Section 20 in T7N R10 W. He further states he is the owner of an individed 5/8 and defendants are the owners of an undivided 3/8.

He asks that the land either be partitioned or sold. In addition, the defendants have a mortgage on the property to Mollie Wolfe. He asks the Court to declare the mortgage null and void against him.

I do not have the Court decision.

I think I may have figured out how David owned 5/8ths of the lot left to him [David Hollenback, Jr.] & Lewis jointly. Half of Lot 3 in Section 20 [Map B] was his, or 4/8ths. The other 1/8th must be his share of the other half left to Lewis, if Lewis was his brother.

That would mean the other 3/8 had belonged to Cynthia, Caroline, & William N. I don't have a deed showing they sold their share to the Drapers or anyone else.

MRS. CAROLINE MASON
DEAD
Mrs. Caroline Mason, aged 69 years, 6 months and 27 days, widow of Richard Mason, died Tuesday, of paralysis, at her home near Rose Chapel, 6 1/2 miles west of Carlisle.

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at Rose Chapel, conducted by Rev. John Bruner, of New Lebanon. Interment in the Hollandbach cemetery, near Rose Chapel.

Burial Notes: Hollenback Cemetery

General Notes: The placement of Caroline as David's daughter is done with hesitation. On a sale of land she states her father was David and her brother was Lewis. A tract of land was left by her grandfather in joint tenancy to a David, Jr. and Lewis, as well as a parcel to David, Sr. There is no early family record available. Many of the tombstones in the Hollenback cemetery have sunk, vanished, or worn to the point where they're no longer readable. No other David is old enough to be her father. David Sr. and Wm. H. Hollenback bought land as tenants in common. Thus, the children of both David and William would inherit shares of it. No partition record has been found. Deeds do not make it clear which child belonged to which father, as the deed "their interest in"...

Caroline's list of children is a bit of a puzzle. They were listed on the census with her and were born after her marriage to Samuel. Yet in 1900 she lists her children as born 3; living 3. Perhaps she answered the question incorrectly.

Noted events in her life were:

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."

An old reading of a stone that no longer exists has a listing for a stone that read:

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. I now believe more Hollenbacks left for the gold fields than listed by Mr. Maple. I believe two sons of William, son of Thomas & Martha went. I believe David s/o Thomas & Martha, and his two sons David & William also went. David, Sr. died at sea in 1855. His son David returned to Sullivan Co. years later, then went back to Australia where he died. David's son William is this William N. I do not know what happened to William's two sons.

I believe William may have returned and may be the William to whom the deeds of 1850s recorded truly transacted, and is the William who appears on the 1860 census as age 29. Whether he died or moved elsewhere is not known. That's conjecture, as there isn't any identifying information on the deed but his name.

Another source for leaving William as David's son is this:
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. In an earlier deed conveyed by Caroline she stated her father was David, dec'd. and a brother was Lewis, dec'd. There is also a ship's record showing David, age 60, and William, age 18, leaving Australia in 1855 bound for Liverpool, England.

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.

***This appears to be a second deed for the same parcels in the deed above to clarify the land description***

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. There were no parcels apportioned to a William as the sole owner. I'm not sure this is the younger William, s/o David, as he would be barely 21 and there is no identifying information in these deeds. I have no deed showing how he acquired this land.

The data in the file for William Hollenback is inconsistent, at best, or two soldiers are mixed together which I believe more likely. However, the official Roster of Soldiers lists only one William Hollenback in this Company.

I can't account for the differences in height, age or occupation.

William Hollenback, age 29, a merchant was mustered in at Terre Haute, IN on 20 Sep 1861 for the duration of the war.

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.

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.

General Notes: Although listed on the 1850 census as "idiotic", I do find a John L. Poston about the correct age on the 1860 census with a wife Mary Ann. He's listed as a farmer, and they were married within the years. They live in Hamilton Twp., Sullivan Co., IN.

Burial records:
Poston, John Law, b. Jan. 6, 1837, d.June 28, 1904
Mary Ann Mason, his wife, b. Mar. 27, 1840, d. Jan. 9, 1918

The list of children I possess was given to me by a Poston family member.

John Law Poston was a farmer, owned a hotel in Jeffersonville, Ind. in the early 1890's and owned a hotel in Washington, Ind. in 1900. (Lora Rose said that she worked there when she was sixteen.) During the period 1892-93, he was guard in the Jeffersonville, Ind. prison. He also owned a grocery store at one time. They lived in Sullivan County, Indl, Jeffersonville, Ind., Washington, Ind. and Palestine, Ill, where they both died.
John was a poet. This is one of his poems. Information that I got said that he had a book of poems that he had written.

THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE BY THE HICKORY TREE
Some fifty years ago when I was young
And by heart was pure and free,
A merry school as ever run
Went to the old school house by the hickory tree.

We rallied "round that hickory tree
With foot-steps light and free
And sang the songs of jubilee
Prepared for Henry Clay and James K. Polk of Tennessee.

Our master's word was law supreme,
And woe unto the boy who shot a paper wad
And could not look serene.
He was almost sure to catch the rod.

He was of stature small
And yet a powerful man,
His power for lifting it did beat all
When he had that rod with-in his hand.

His fort was in orthography
And he was known some miles around
For his spelling bees
And a school that would not down.

We rambled through the forest leaves
We chased the squirrel into his den
And climbed the tallest trees,
For we were athletic then.

Those scenes ride up so vividly,
To speak to them I cannot forgo,
As though it were by recently
And yet so long ago.,

Our play ground was in woods so dense
But now in grass and grain that's bending low
And Harvey's cattle are grazing o'er
Where we played some fifty years ago.

Things have changed you see,
Instead of the forest tree
The clover blooms most fragrantly
Where the school house stood by the hickory tree.

When we review those fifty years
And remember those who lie beneath the sod
We stand with awe and shed the trickling tears
Bereft of loved ones who have gone to meet their God.

6. 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.

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.

History of Holt Co., Missouri
Excerpts from pgs 493-500 under Chapter XX - Crimes

Mr. Lawrence, his son and mother constituted the family. On the evening of Sunday, the 9th day of January, 1876, Hiram Lawrence left his home, near sunset, or soon after. ... His son John had gone from home some time in the afternoon, or some time earlier than his father. The mother retired before Hiram Lawrence returned. In the morning, the fact that he had not returned cause Mrs. Lawrence to be much alarmed, and the neighbors were immediately informed.

A suspicion of foul play was immediately raised, and the neighbors proceeded to search the neighborhood.....On Tuesday, , the parties renewed their efforts, and during the forenoon of that day, the body of Hiram Lawrence was found on a hillside, in the brush, about a half a mile south of his residence. When discovered, the face was down, and the appearances indicated that a most brutal murder had been committed. His hat was lying by the body, and in it were three bullet holes. There were three bullet marks on the body, one directly in the back of the head, one in the left cheek, and one on the right side of the neck.....

...when news came of the finding of the body, instead of going to the spot, John went home and waited until it was brought in. The body was taken home. Suspicion was pointed so strongly against young Lawrence that a warrant was issued, and he was placed under arrest. In the afternoon an inquest was held and a large amount of testimony taken, the jusry bringing in a verdict of murder, and giving it as their opinion that John Lawrence did the deed." [evidence boots, bullets fit revolver, coat stained with blood]

"At the April term of the Holt Circuit Court, the grand jury returned an indictment for murder against him. His trial was continued to the May term. ....Soon after a change of venue from Holt to the Buchanan circuit was obtained, where the trial took place in July, 1876.

At the time of the trial young Lawrence was about twenty-six years of age..... He had been married, but his wife and one child had been dead some years."

[Witnesses: T. C. Simpson, Ridley Shaw, John Sales, Benjamin Shunk, Dr. J. K. P. Jackson, George Palmer, Hugh Hill]

"Mrs. Elizabeth Lawrence, the aged and decrepit mother of the murdered man, and the grandmother of the defendant was then called. Mrs. Lawrence was at the time eighty-two years of age, was slightly built, and could not walk without the aid of a crutch. ...On approaching the place where the witnesses sat ....she was very much affected, and covering her face with her handkerchief, wept silently for some minutes. As soon as she recovered herself, she gave the following testimony:

She would be eighty -two, the 9th day of November next; lived with Hiram Lawrence previous to his death; no one else lived with them but John; Hiram had no other sons; he had a wife, but separated from her years ago; had not lived with any woman since John was four years old; came with him from Indiana; I was so old, I did not know much about his business; I believe his farm contained 160 acres; he had cattle and hogs and two work creatures; don't know much about his debts; he never owed much; I think a $150 debt was all he owed, unless some small matters ....was always an industrious man; John has always made by son's house his home; John's habits were not very good; he was never an industrious boy; when he worked, he worked well, and when he did not want to work, he would not; John and his father never quarreled much in my presence; they kept these things away from me; John was not very kind to his father; often would not do things his father wanted him to do; he used a good deal of abusive and profane language twoards his father. ....John always had a bad temper; he would show it pretty badly sometimes; .... Hiram had some money that day; he had a hundred dollars; two fifty dollar bills; he got it from me; he got it to pay Porter the interest on the $500; am not certain John knew I had given him the money..... "

[John returned around 10 o'clock that night. The next morning John left.]
He got ready and went to Mound City; said he wa going to get a pair of boots....John never had any money; did not have any about him at that time; Hiram paid him all he worked for; John could never get enough....'My God, I never thought I would be brought down to this in my old days.' .... the aged lady hobbled up to the prisoner's chair. The prisoner arose and took her hand, and, covering his face with his handkerchief, wept freely. The old lady leaned on his hand, and, with her head bowed, sobbed and prayed aloud, saying she never expected to see him again, and telling him to repent and be a Christian. ....

John Lawrence was found guilty of murder in the first degree. On account, however, of a flaw in the indictment, which did not state the prisoner's full name as it should have done, he was granted a new trial. The verdict was the same as in the former trial---Murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to be hanged, but through the efforts of his counsel and others his sentence was finally commuted by the governor to imprisonment for life."

Hiram married Elizabeth Unknown about 1848 in , , Ohio. The marriage ended in separation before 1860. Elizabeth was born about 1831 in , , Virginia.

Marriage Notes: History of Holt Co., Missouri pg 493

"Hiram Lawrence was a wifeless farmer,....

A separation had taken place between Mr. Lawrence and his wife several years before the paracide. Since that time he had remained single."

Death Notes: This is based on the fact she doesn't appear with Hiram in the census after 1850. The Elizabeth living with him in 1860 and 1870 appears to be his mother.

Marriage Notes: MO Marriage Records
S.C. Davidson, Minister of the Gospel,performed the rites of matrimony.
Recorded 25 Oct 1877 on pg 389

Sarah's surname is difficult to read. I've used Ancestry's transcription, but I'm not sure it's correct It's also possible this is a prior married name for Sarah and not her maiden name.

General Notes: Sarah's surname is difficult to read in the marriage record. I've used Ancestry's transcription, but I'm not sure it's correct. [Wimer]

Sarah's daughter Dora's death certificate gives her mother's maiden name as Winn. I believe that is correct. In 1870 living in Narrows, Macon Co., MO is Sarah Winn 32 living with Geo W. Winn 30, likely her borther. Geo is listed first, then George W. age 3, then Sarah 32. The family of Thomas Winn, Jr? 39 MO is the family preceding. He has a wife and several children. Macon county is where Elijah & Sarah married. In 1850 Sarah Winn 12 MO is listed in the HH of Squire L. 43 b KY and Lucy 39 b KY. On the censuses Sarah always listed her parents b KY.

General Notes: http://www.robtyn.us/genealogy/rinehart/rinehart.htm
This letter was written by Enoch S. Rinehart to Stephen C. Rinehart, his older brother, when Enoch was 17 years of age. The timing of the letter is very close to the time the Rinehart family moved from Hampshire County, Virginia to Knox County, Missouri. While not stated clearly, it appears the letter may have been written by Enoch from Hampshire County to Stephen in Knox County.
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. 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

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.

Noted events in his life were:

1. 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 ..."

General Notes: I have a deed from John and Sarah E. Smith of Cass Co., IN, conveying her share of the estate of George Rinehart to Elijah Rinehart dated 1855. She was a granddaughter to George and the only heir left of Ellis Rinehart.

In the 1848 lawsuit Sarah is listed about age 10. On the 1900 census Sarah lists her birth as May 1833. From 1860 through 1900 the age she lists on the census reports is consistent with an 1833 birth. However, in 1840 her mother listed her as age 5-10, thus born 1835-1840.

This does not fit the family of 1880 and 1885. Melvin is too old to be the child of Madison or Jennie. They were a Madison and Jennie in the same HH and the Curry name is an odd twist. It's left here only because they're the only Madison & Jennie I could find in Iowa.

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, on 24 Sep 1859 in , Allegany Co., Maryland.¹⁴² They had no children.

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

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^⁵⁵ 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.

Death Notes: Unknown newspaper, undated

Mrs. J. Herman Allen
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.

Unknown newspaper

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.

General Notes: Lucy Virginia married Franklin Page Allen and they were my grandparents. They had a son and a daughter, then a second daughter who was my Mother. 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]

Lucie married Franklin Page Allen, son of James W. F. Allen Judge and Caroline Williams, on 8 Feb 1887 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., West Virginia. Franklin was born on 4 May 1860 in Moorefield, Hampshire Co., Virginia, died on 4 Apr 1944 in Shanks, Hampshire Co., West Virginia at age 83, and was buried after 4 Apr 1944 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., West Virginia.

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.

Death Notes: Unknown newspaper; copy provided by R. Richard "Dick" Hollenback

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.

from: Early Settlements of Lynn Township, Woodford Col., IL (courtesy Barb Darling) "The next to locate in the [Lynn] township was George Hollenback, with his newly married wife. He was married to Jane Patton, in 1844, and immediately then left the parental roof--and their parents living only a few miles north in Marshall County--and opened a farm and built them a home of their own. They settled on the east side of Section 3, within a few rods of the Marshall County Line." [Jane died in 1858]

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.

George married Jane Patton, daughter of Nathan Patton and Jane or Jean Campbell, on 14 May 1844 in , Marshall Co., Illinois. Jane was born on 11 Apr 1821 near Decatur, Brown Co., Ohio, died on 2 Dec 1858 in , Marshall Co., Illinois at age 37, and was buried after 2 Dec 1858 in , Marshall Co., Illinois.

3. 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.

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.

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

I found no papers asking for repayment for final expenses.

Respectfully yours, Frank N. Ireland, nearly 77 years old and a resident of this place since 1855. It is notarized by Ann Buckingham."

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. He stated there is no official or church record of their marriage. He states neither were previously married and are currently living together. He listed his children as:
1. Charles A. McKeever b 22 Nov 1860
2. Ida J. McKeever b 28 Jan 1862
3. Mary D. McKeever b 26 Oct 1868
4.-5. Leroy L. and Laura E. twins b 23 May 1874
6. William L. McKeever b 7 Mar 1877.

On 12 Oct 1917 there is a letter of authorization to the Disbursing Clerk, Bureau of Pensions for W. W. Martin, Treasurer, National Military Home, Kansas check for $90. drawn 4 Oct 1917 to Jacob H. McKeever, pensioner under certificate 612,179.

The final page is from Western Branch National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers dated 28 Oct 1920. They are submitting Pension Certificate 612,179 of Jacob H. McKeever, deceased, late of A Co. 62nd Reg's OH Inf. who died at Hospital, Western Branch on 13 Oct 1920 from Hypertrophic Cardiac Dilitation. He was a widower. It lists his next of kin as Wm. L.

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, Ohio, 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.

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.

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.

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.

General Notes: Sarah is listed as a daughter of Cintha in Cintha's probate papers. I don't know if any of the children attributed to her are truly her children. They're listed here as such becuase they lived with her at some point, and I need a place to keep the data we've collected for them. If the children are Sarah's natural born children, then they are part of our Hollenback family. It's possible that Isaac McNary was from another branch of the family and was Sarah's husband. The only one of her children born after Isaac disappears from the census rolls is Annis.

The estate records found for Sarah do not indicate her heirs are or are not her children. No will is listed, and Annis as Administrator, not Executor, indicates no will existed.

These are the parents listed on the children's death certificates:
Cintha Cleora:
Father Name: Harry E. McNary
Fa. Birth Place: Newark, Ohio
Mother Name: Emily Aljo
Mother Birth Place: Pataskala, Ohio
Both of these Ohio towns are in Licking Co., OH.

Annis:
Father: John McNary b Virginia
Mother: Sarah McNary b Virginia

We have not been able to locate the death records for either Pierce or Polk.

We have not been able to find a John McNary in the Clark Co. area who could be Annis' father. Nor have we been able to find information on Harry E. McNary and Emily Aljo.

I believe it's possible that Sarah was the wife of Nimrod McNary. He bought land in Clark Co., IL in 1841 while a resident of Hampshire Co., VA. There are 2 Nimrod McNarys listed on the 1840 census of Hampshire, one age 30-40 and one 50-60. [One died in Hampshire Co. in 1848 b abt 1800. I have no records for the one b 1780-1790.]

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.
The original patent for this land was to Ann Palmer, widow of Morris Palmer, Sgt. U.S. Marines in War of 1812, dated 1 Dec 1851. [Military Warrant Vol. 603, pg 491]

Noted events in her life were:

Sarah 33 OH
Howard 20 IL
Louisa 18 IL
Margaret E. 14 IL
James H. 16 IL
Henry 9 IL
Pearce 5 IL
Cintha C. 2 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.

2. census: 1865, Marshall Twp., Clark Co., Illinois. IL State Census
Sarah C. 1 female <10; 2 males 10-20; 1 male 30-40
Unless a female under 10 is the head of this household, her columns can't be correct. That female fits for Cintha Cleora. Pearce fits for 1 male 10-20, but I have no idea who the 2nd one might be unless it's Harry E., the father listed as Cleora Cintha's on her death certificate. Sarah is a female 30-40 and no female that age is marked on the census page.

3. census: 1870, Marshall, Clark Co., Illinois. Pg 374
McNary Sarah 42 $350 $100 OH
Pierce 15 farm laborer IN
Cleora 12 IL
Amis M. or Auris M. [female] 1 IL
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:

Newspaper Notices were published on 13 Dec 1905 and 3 Jan 1906 newspapers to fulfill the legal requirement of notification of heirs with unknown addresses

The heirs listed in the newspaper notices were Pierce McNary, Ham McNary, Allen McNary, Dan McNary, Lottie McNary, Hattie McNary, John McNary, Bessie McNary, William McNary and the unknown heirs of Sarah C. McNary. [Pierce b 1855 was still living, but apparently his whereabouts were unknown to the Administrator.] The other names listed were the living children of James K. P. McNary who died 6 Mar 1900 in MO.]

In a Jan 1906 Court filing Annis Thompson, Admrx of Sarah C. McNary filed a Petition to sell real estate to pay debts.

In it she states that Pierce McNary is not a resident of the State of IL, and she doesn't know if he's living or dead; she has heard rumors that he lives in Vincennes, IN. She further states that defendants Ham McNary, Allen McNary, Dan McNary, and Lottie McNary when last heard from lived at St. Paul, MN, and affiant verily believes that is their present post office address. Affiant further states that Hattie McNary, John McNary, and Bessie McNary and William McNary live and their post office address is Flat River, Missouri. Affiant further states some of the above parties have married and their names are changed, but after diligent search and inquiry, affiant cannot learn their correct names; some may not be living but she has not been able to learn the names of their heirs. Therefore this Affiant has named herein "The Unknown Heirs of Sarah C. McNary, deceased".

Robert Thompson bid the sum of $300.00 for real estate described as "All that part of Lot 8 in Stephen Archer's Addition to the City of Marshall, lying west of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis RR except the north 13.2 feet thereof. The fence on south side of J. C. White's land, as it now stands, all in Clark Co., IL. Said Robert Thompson will pay $300.00 on approval of this report.
Signed Annis Thompson

The file contained no paper showing sale of personal property, payment of debts, or payment to any heir.

Sarah had a relationship with someone.

Her children were:

+ 790 M i. James K. Polk McNary was born about 1845 in , , Illinois and died on 6 Mar 1900 in , Crawford Co., Missouri about age 55.

+ 791 M ii. Franklin Pearce McNary was born in Feb 1855 in , Clark Co., Illinois.

+ 792 F iii. Cintha Cleora McNary was born on 16 Dec 1857 in Marshall Twp., Clark Co., Illinois, died on 16 Mar 1941 in Robinson, Crawford Co., Illinois at age 83, and was buried in Robinson, Crawford Co., Illinois.

+ 793 F iv. Annis M. McNary was born on 23 Apr 1869 in , Clark Co., Illinois, died on 29 Jul 1948 in Golden, Jefferson Co., Colorado at age 79, and was buried in Marshall, Clark Co., Illinois.

225. Cyntha Minerva Sophia McNary 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. The official date of the 1870 census was 1 June. No Auld appears on the Mortality Schedule. I find no marriages for a William Auld to a woman named Sophia in either IL or IN.

Noted events in her life were:

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.

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.

From his first marriage to Mary Eaton, a daughter Elizabeth Ann was b 10 Nov 1834 Tuscarawas Co., OH d 14 Dec 1920 Danville, Vermilion Co., IL. She married Marcellus Brown Leise, the son of Thomas Alexander Leise and Sybil Critchfield.

Children from this marriage were:

226. Susannah Evaline McNary was born in Dec 1833 in , , Ohio, died on 20 Feb 1905 in , Jasper Co., Illinois at age 71, and was buried in Yale, Jasper Co., Illinois.

Death Notes: The old township record listing Susannah's death must have an error. It lists that she was born in 1833, died in 1925, but was 71 years old. Either Susannah was 91 years old, or she died in 1905. I have not located Susannah in a single record after the 1900 census. She is not listed in the IL State Death Index. Death records were required beginning in 1916.

I'm changing her death date to 1905.

General Notes: I believe that Samuel Howard buried in the McFadden cemetery is most likely John's father. He was born 1790 in VA and lived in Belpre, Washington Co., OH in 1850, across the river from John.

Samuel is listed as a child of Betsy, based on the research of others. There is a 9-yr difference in the births of Susannah & Samuel, which is unusual. With the birth date for Susannah McNary Vannosdal's child from her first marriage being 1856, it seems unlikely Samuel is her child, if he was truly age 4 when the 1860 census was taken.

The IL State census of 1855 for Jasper Co. has only first initials, not complete given names. Although not there in 1850, John and his father Samuel may have been there in 1855. There are two males enumerated with the first initial J, but one of them looks more like an S to me.

This family is not a good fit for John. Samuel could be the male <10 if he were b 1855. There was no male on the 1850 census for John in Wood Co., VA. John 30-40.
The female <10 fits for the daughter Susannah age 13 in 1860. The female 20-30 fits for Betsy of 1850.

From: http://www.umstead.org/samuel%20umstott%20whopper.html

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)"]

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.

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: McCune Station, Missouri

In the northwestern part of Cuivre township, about seven miles from Bowling Green, lies McCune Station. The spelling of the town's name has varied slightly over the years with the 1899 Pike County atlas listing it as "McCunes Station", the map of 1893 calling it "McCune's Station" and an 1886 map calling it simply "McCunes." The town was named for John and William McCune from Kentucky, who settled on Ramsey Creek in 1817. There was for a time a small settlement there with a railroad station and a post office, which operated from 1886 until 1918. In the 1930's, McCunes Station had a population of approximately 50 people. The population is less than that in 1980.

From the National Archives, Washington, D.C., pension file of Abraham E. Bucher:
Statements were filed on 24 Sep, 1881 by George W. Knapp and George H. Hollenback, both of Schuyler Co., IL, giving sworn oaths. Both state they are residents of Schuyler Co. and have been for more than 21 years and during that time have been well-acquainted with Abraham E. Bucher except the time he was a soldier in the late Civil War. All this time he has been a neighbor of theirs, and previous to enlistment he was a stout and hearty man, never making any complaint of ill health, but working all the time.

Since his discharge he has been sickly and complains of his back all the time, and can do but little work, and cannot do one fourth the work of an ordinary farm hand or mechanic.

Said Kanpp is a neighbor and said Hollenback is a nephew with whom Bucher resides. Both men sign with their mark with John S. Bagby as witness and Notary Public.

From the National Archives, Washington, D.C., pension file of Nancy J. Jennings Hollenback, widow of John B. Hollenback, Civil War Veteran: An affidavit is filed on 25 Jan 1889 from McCune Station, Pike Co., MO by George H. Hollenback, age 50. He attests to the birthdates of the children, the death of John B., and states that "after leaving the Army his (John's) disabilities were fully one half. In other words he was unable to do one half as much work as he could do before entering the army."

21 Aug 1894 Deposition George H. Hollenback, 55, farmer, Frankfort, Pike Co., MO. He states claimant is a sister to his wife and the widow of his brother. "I was living in IL when my brother enlisted in the army. He had gone to Indiana with my father about two years before he enlisted and I did not see him for two years before he enlisted." states they lived 1.5 to 3 miles apart...soldier's condition was mighty poorly; could not do more than half a days work in a whole day. "Before he went to the army he was a stouter man than I was." He says John only weighed about 95 lbs. He doesn't know what was the cause, or what caused his death. He says they sent for him, but John died before he got there. George signed his name.

In June of 2008 I drove up and down the" hills and hollers" to see the land where George & Mary lived. There is only one small flat part of land on which a small house sits. There would have been room there for a house, privy, garden, and perhaps a chicken coop & stable. There surely is not enough flat ground to farm. On that ground George's farming would have been confined to timbering.

Carlos Buell [US]; Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston and Gen. P.G.T.

Forces Engaged:
Army of the Tennessee and Army of the Ohio (65,085) [US]; Army of the Mississippi (44,968) [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 23,746 total (US 13,047; CS 10,699)
Description: As a result of the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson, Confederate Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, the commander in the area, was forced to fall back, giving up Kentucky and much of West and Middle Tennessee. He chose Corinth, Mississippi, a major transportation center, as the staging area for an offensive against Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Tennessee before the Army of the Ohio, under Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, could join it. The Confederate retrenchment was a surprise, although a pleasant one, to
the Union forces, and it took Grant, with about 40,000 men, some time to mount a southern offensive, along the Tennessee River, toward Pittsburg Landing. Grant received orders to await Buell's Army of the Ohio at Pittsburg Landing. Grant did not choose to fortify his position; rather, he set about drilling his men many of which were raw recruits. Johnston originally planned to attack Grant on April 4, but delays postponed it until the 6th. Attacking the Union troops on the morning of the 6th, the Confederates surprised them, routing many.

Some Federals made determined stands and by afternoon, they had established a battle line at the sunken road, known as the "Hornets Nest." Repeated Rebel attacks failed to carry the Hornets Nest, but massed artillery helped to turn the tide as Confederates surrounded the Union troops and captured, killed, or wounded most. Johnston had been mortally wounded earlier and his second in command, Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, took over. The Union troops established another line covering Pittsburg Landing, anchored with artillery and augmented by Buell's men who began to arrive and take up positions. Fighting continued until after dark, but the Federals held.

By the next morning, the combined Federal forces numbered about 40,000,
outnumbering Beauregard®s army of less than 30,000. Beauregard was unaware of the arrival of Buell®s army and launched a counterattack in response to a two-mile advance by William Nelson®s division of Buell's army at 6:00 am, which was, at first, successful. Union troops stiffened and began forcing the Confederates back. Beauregard ordered a counterattack, which stopped the Union advance but did not break its battle line. At this point, Beauregard realized that he could not win and, having suffered too many casualties, he retired from the field and headed back to Corinth.

On the 8th, Grant sent Brig. Gen. William T. Sherman, with two brigades, and Brig. Gen. Thomas J. Wood, with his division, in pursuit of Beauregard. They ran into the Rebel rearguard, commanded by Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest, at Fallen Timbers. Forrest's aggressive tactics, although eventually contained, influenced the Union troops to return to Pittsburg Landing. Grant®s mastery of the Confederate forces continued; he had beaten them once again. The
Confederates continued to fall back until launching their mid-August offensive.

Description: Following the Union victory at Shiloh, the Union armies under Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck advanced on the vital rail center of Corinth. By May 25, 1862, after moving 5 miles in 3 weeks, Halleck was in position to lay siege to the town. The preliminary bombardment began, and Union forces maneuvered for position. On the evening of May 29-30, Confederate commander Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard evacuated Corinth, withdrawing to Tupelo. The Federals had consolidated their position in northern Mississippi.
Result(s): Union victory, although the raid ultimately failed.

I have a copy.

Birth Notes: Lester Hollenback says that a Gragg descendant sent him information
liting Nancy Jane's birthdate as 21 Apr 1850. I'm not sure which
birthdate is correct, but Nancy Jane isn't listed on the 1850 census
which was read in October. Therefore, I'm leaving the birthdate of
1852. It's possible that it could be 1851, but I don't believe 1850 is
feasible. (August 2004)

Undated, Z. T. Harvey M.D., Council Grove, Morris Co., KS, states he knew John B. about 12 years, treated him from March 1878 to his death on 25 July 1878. He states that on 25 July 1878 "he was so weak that he could hardly lift his hand .... He gave me a history of chronic diarrhea which dated from his service in the Army and his every symptom showed the truthfulness of his statement. He died from inamuition? as a result of chronic diarrhea. Soldier was not able to work at any time after March 1878 at which time I first treated him."

13 June 1894 Deposition Nancy J. Gragg, Browning Twp., Schuyler Co., IL, age 42, P.O. Baders, IL attests that John B. died in July 1878 in Woodstock Twp., 8 miles SW of Rushville; that he was at work in the field on Tuesday for Joshua Griffith and died on Thursday at 2 o'clock. Most of this is about John's illnesses, and is very difficult to read. She states she married Joseph Gregg 07 Apr 1893. He (I think this means John, but it isn't clear) came to IL from Cass Co., IN and his P.O. address there was Big Indian, IN. His brother Zimri gets his mail at Logansport, IN. His mother and Be?? & Annie Hollenback his two sisters live at Big Indian. His mother's name is Mary. These are all the persons she knows who knew John before he came to IL.

15 Jun 1894 Deposition William W. Ridings, 54, Rushville. States he knew John B. from the time he came to IL; was never in good health; took sick while in the harvest field of Joshua Griffith and died in a few days; he used to hear him complain about his stomach and bowels and appeared to be broken down generally in health.

15 Jun 1894 Deposition Margaret E. Ridings, 51, Rushville, IL states she knew John when he came to Woodstock from IN soon after the war. She stated from the first time she knew him until he died he looked more like a dead man than anything else and continuously complained of his health. "I was living on the farm of Joshua Griffith at the time the soldier was taken sick in the harvest field, in a house but a few hundred feet away from Griffiths. The soldier came from the harvest field ?? through the pasture and our garden and asked the privilege of lying down. He lay down under a cherry tree and lay there some three hours before he was taken away. Mrs. Joshua Griffiths and ???? and myself cared for him, placed a pillow under his head, bathes his face and ??? in camphor. We bathes him first with well water and applied ??? to his stomach and bowels and rubbed his limbs outside of his clothes. We kept cold applications on his heart." ..."Of course we were women and could not question him so very closely but one thing we could not help noticing and that was he had no control over his bowels .... he vomited and threw up blood. .... We gave him pain killers internally and I made him ??? tea and gave him. He wanted water but we would not give it to him as we were afraid to. I did not see him again. He used to talk about his Army life and said his general poor health was due to his Army life. Some of the men in the harvest field said it was sun dtroke but the ??? said it was not that, he had been taken that way many times and his bowels would run off from morning to night. This he told us as he lay under the cherry tree."

15 Jun 1894 Deposition Matilda S. Walker, 41, Rushville (my note:she was Matilda Bucher/Booker) states she is a cousin of John B. states he came to IL after the War attests to his poor health

14 Jun 1894 Deposition Robert Brown, Woodstock Twp., 58, farmer, states John came to IL after the war from IN and attests to his poor health.

14 Jun 1894 Deposition Caroline Taylor, 52, Woodstock Twp. attests she knew John B. from time he came to IL from IN and attests to his poor health.

15 Jun 1894 Deposition James A. Tomlinson, 36, farmer, Rushville Twp.states he knew John B. from the time he came from IN, lived near him part of the time, and had worked with him. John B. complained of chronic diarrhea and was not a stout man. He states John B. was a good, honest man.

16 Jun 1894 Deposition Joshua Griffith, 71, farmer, Lewistown, Fulton Co., IL states he was well acquainted with John B. who worked for him on his farm, but he was not strong and had to give up work and lay off every once in awhile. He was willing to work and he used to see him work when he knew he was not in fit condition to do so. He also attests to John's last day at work.

17 July 1894 letter from Richard Lowe, Special Examiner to Wm. Loehren, Commissioner of Pensions stating he's enclosing depositions. He states he believes Dr. Harvey's disgnosis that soldier died from affects of chronic diarrhea and that the claim is of probable merit. He believes that additional examination should be made of Zimri Hollenback, Big Indian or Logansport, IN and George D. McKee, Hannibal, MO.

26 (perhaps 16, it's smeared) July 1894 Deposition Z.T. Harvey, M.D. Council Grove, Morris Co., KS 47, physician, graduate of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago, IL who testifies he saw John B. in his list illness; he was in state of collapse which he believes was due to chronic dysentery. From medication he'd been taking, he judged soldier had suffered from long and continued attacks of chronic diarrhea.

02 Aug 1894 Deposition Mary C. Hollenback, 76, widow of Edmond Hollenback, near Lucerne, Cass Co., IN, P.O. Desolation, Fulton Co., IN. She states she is the mother of John B., that she had two sons in the same company, John & Zimri. She states Zimri lives in Logansport, boarding with Mrs. Sarah Hollenback. She says before John enlisted he was stout and hearty and always had good health. After discharge he came back to her house in 1865, in the winter, it was cold. His health was not near so good as before he enlisted; thinner, pale, looked bad. He lived there only a short time then moved to Schuyler Co., IL and married there. He returned but once after he married and stayed 2-3 weeks. While living with her after his return from Army he only worked a day now and then. She didn't believe he was physically able to work steadily. He was treated by Dr. Julian and Th. Boggs upon his return. They are both dead. She signed her name.

02 Aug 1894 Deposition Mary A. Hollenback, 49, domestic, Desolation, Fulton Co., IN, sister to John B. states he was stout and hearty when he enlisted. He was not as stout when he came home; did not look as well; and he complained of his health. She states John B. went to IL to visit his brother George H. who now lives in MO. She signs with a mark.

02 Aug 1894 Deposition Zimri Hollenback, 53, carpenter, Logansport, Cass Co., IN, brother to John B. He states he served in same unit with John B. but they were not together all the time. John B was a teamster part of the time. He was sick in the hospital (field hospital) at Chattanooga, TN. A few months after returning "he took it into his head he must visit our brother George ... near Rushville, Schuyler Co., IL and he went. After he got there, he continued to stay and he married and died there." He states John had not been previously married; came back for only one visit in 1867. He states he had good health before enlisting, but doesn't remember how he looked when he returned. He signed Zimri Hollenback.

07 Aug 1894 letter from Samuel Fischer, Special Examiner to Commissioner of Pensions states he is returning papers; that mother and sister and brother are of good reputation and apparently do not take the least interest in her(Nancy) and her children but were not biased against her. Belle Hollenback, the other sister of the soldier, was away from home. Their mother stated Belle was only 9 years old when John B. was discharged. The Annie referred to by the claimant is the Mary A. whose deposition is submitted. "In view of the soldier's hospital record and the deposition of Dr. Z. T. Harvey, I am of the opinion that the case may be meritorious."

21 Aug 1894 letter to Commissioner of Pensions from Wm. W. Watson, Special Examiner. He believes claim is without merit.

21 Aug 1894 Deposition George H. Hollenback, 55, farmer, Frankfort, Pike Co., MO. He states claimant is a sister to his wife and the widow of his brother. "I was living in IL when my brother enlisted in the army. He had gont to Indiana with my father about two years before he enlisted and I did not see him for two years before he enlisted." states they lived 1.5 to 3 miles apart...soldier's condition was mighty poorly; could not do more than half a days work in a whole day. "Before he went to the army he was a stouter man than I was." He says John only weighed about 95 lbs. He doesn't know what was the cause, or what caused his death. He says they sent for him, but John died before he got there. George signed his name.

02 Oct 1894 Deposition Zimri Hollenback, 53, carpenter, brother. He states he knows nothing more than what he stated in his first deposition.

03 Oct 1894 Deposition Jonathan Grable, 62, farmer, Logansport, Cass Co., IN states he knew John before he enlisted; John used to work for him. He was extra stout at that time. He was sound and able-bodied before he enlisted. He remembers nothing about his condition upon his return.

03 Oct 1894 Deposition Lemuel A. Bennett, 57, farmer, Fletchers Lake, Fulton Co., IN states he knew John before he enlisted as a stout, hearty, boy. John worked for him. He states John did not work for him after discharge, but he saw him and thought he looked "wore out", thin. He was troubled with this camp or chronic diarrhea after he came home from the service. "I know that because my mother used to make a medicine for diarrhea and another for cough, made it out of herbs, and she gave this soldier some of her diarrhea medicine. She gave him medicine for diarrhea and not for cough. ..... I heard him complain of being troubled with diarrhea after his discharge myself."

03 Oct 1894 Deposition David M. Kingery, 53, farmer, Metea, Cass Co., IN who served in same army unit as John. He state he worked with John prior to Army. John was considered a good hand; sound; able=bodied; did not doctor any or complain. After the war John was not as fleshy and remembers hearing boys joke him about that saying that he was not fed very well while in the service.

10 Nov 1894 letter from Richard Lowe, Special Examiner to Pension office. It states case was reopened for special examination. It appears he again talked to the doctor who stated soldier was so low when he saw him that it would be hard from his symptoms to determine what his death was due to, but adheres to his former statement that soldier's death was due to exhaustion from chronic diarrhea. He believes it probably that soldier's system was so depleted from diarrhea that he would easily succumb to a heat prostration. He recommends further examination of case.

18 Oct 1894 Deposition John H. Corbon, 50, farmer, Stuttgart, Ark. He knew John both before and after the war. Prior to enlistment he was stout hearty little fellow who never complainted of disease or disability. Before the war he moved from IL to IN and came back to IL after the war. He worked for him a year or so after he returned to IL,

complained about his health and was not very stout. He was not strong and was not in good health like he was before the war. He was there several times during his last illness. John had complained to him of his bowels running off at times after the war.

Widow's Pension No. 376081 Rate $8 per month commenicng July 25, 1878 and $12 from March 19, 1886 to terminate 06 Apr 1893, remarriage. Children $2 per month for each child as follows: Edward D. July 26, 1878 to July 27, 1884; George W. July 26, 1878 to Oct 6, 1886; William H. July 26, 1878 to Oct 29, 1888; Charles H. July 26, 1878 to Mar 4, 1891; Albert L. July 26, 1878 to Sept 1, 1879 when he died. This pension was approved by the Legal Reviewer and rejection by the Medical Reviewer. The medical reviewer believed cause of death was due to heart disease, not chronic diarrhea. 06 May 1895 Deposition Nancy J. Gragg who states John never complained of heart trouble. She states that she doesn't know about heart disease and has no idea whether heart disease, dropsy, or rheumatism caused his death. She does know that he never had a well day after returning from the army and complained about and suffered from chronic diarrhea. I found no further papers in the file, but the pension must have finally been approved, as we know from the newspaper notice that she received a pension voucher labeled "back pay".

Hollenback, Simon P. and Eleanor; 80acres; $3760.; Harrison Twp., Lucerne 1

He is listed again in 1941 as Simon R. [sic] at the same place and with the same number of acres, but the value has increased to $6760.

Simon Peter known as Pete lived to be 100 years old. A community celebration was held for him at St. Elizabeth's church. The celebration brought out a crowd of 1400 people to honor this much-loved local citizen. At this celebration entertainment included a pageant, "This is Your Life". The pageant was quite a production, with the following highlights:
-"Rock a Bye Baby" for his birth
-"Wagon Wheels" for the 2 white horses pulling the wagon for the move in 1859 from OH to IN
-"Tenting Tonight" for his memory of Civil War soldiers drilling
-An 80 year-old farmer showed today's farmers the operation of an old scythe with a cradle on it as a reminder of Pete's job cardling wheat for 25 cents a day
-"Seeing Eleanor Home" to commemorate his first date with Eleanor. He took her to a spelling bee at the school
-"Because" was sung to honor their marriage 7 years after that first date.
-"Meet Me in St. Louis" as a reminder of his visit to the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893
-"Golden Wedding Day" to mark the couple's 50th wedding anniversary
-A square dance was danced, as Pete was an enthusiastic dancer. They also noted that he was a good euchre player.

He was presented with a very large birthday cake and an electric clock. His family was introduced.

Local newspapers noted that except for being a little hard of hearing, he is enjoying good health and tends a thrifty garden.

Pete and his wife celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on 7th of June that year [1954], and were given the distinction of being the oldes married couple in Indiana.

He received a birthday greeting from the President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower.

There were many local newspaper stories about his 100th birthday, which are in my files.

Recollections of Nancy Hollenback Martin:

"Grandpa Pete was a small man - not much taller than five feet four inches and about 135 pounds. He had twinkley blue eyes and a bushy mustache. He liked to play Euchre and listen to the radio when he wasn't farming. He didn't like me to wear shorts - he called them my "high water pants". He always wore black high top shoes, gray pants and suspenders. His shirts were blue or white. When he was farming, he wore bib overalls with a shirt and big rubber or leather (depending on what he was doing) boots. He was quite deaf and wore a hearing aid. I can remember going to the barn with him after supper to watch him milk the cows - there was always a squirt of milk for the cats! He would walk with me thru the cornrows and take me down to the creek to play. But best of all, I liked it when I got to ride on the stone boat." Did I ever tell you that Simon Peter remembered watching his brothers drilling in an open field before they left for the war? He was seven years old at that time.

General Notes: Recollections of Nancy Hollenback Martin:
"Grandma Eleanor had blue eyes, pierced ears (she always wore small gold hoops), was five feet three inches tall and wore her long gray hair twisted into a bun at the back of her head. She spent her nights sewing and listening to the radio. She was a wonderful cook. Stewed chicken and dumplings and rice pudding were two of her specialties. She would give me pots, measuring cups and spoons and let me play in the grainery. I was sometimes allowed to stand on a chair next to the kitchen table, wrapped up in a feed sack dishtowel, and create things with her extra piecrust dough. She made dolls from corncobs with corn silk hair and taught me how to make hollyhock dolls. What a sewer she was! We still have quilts she hand pieced and the pillows made from goose and duck feathers and down."

HER NINETY-NINTH
BIRTHDAY SEPT. 19
Mrs. Eleanor Burton Hollenback of Lucerne, widow of Simon Peter Hollenback, will be feted Saturday at a family dinner in honor of her ninety-nine birthday anniversary, which is on Sept. 19.
Mrs. Hollenback's husband was 100 years of age when he died Feb. 15, 1955. A community celebration was held the preceding August 11, when he became a centenarian.
A lifelong resident of Harrison township, Mrs. Hollenback was born on a 160 acre farm two miles northeast of Lucerne on which she resided for 85 years.
She and her husband moved to Lucerne fourteen years ago when they sold the farm to a grandnephew, Elmer Herd. The farm has been in the family more than 100 years.
Mrs. Hollenback always has led an active life. Although she still has a garden she is no longer able to work in it or do her own housework, partly due to failing sight. However, she likes to visit with people and has much company. Mrs. Olive Jones of Royal Center resides with her.
The aged lady spent several weeks this summer visiting a grandson, Paul Hollenback and his wife at Indianapolis.
She and Pete Hollenback were married June 7, 1881, and at the time of his death they claimed the distinction of being the oldest married couple in Indiana. They would have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary this year had he lived.
They had two children, Walter , of Harrison Township, who died in an auto accident, and Mrs. Nola Beal, South Orange, N.J.
Attending the family dinner Saturday in her honor will be her son-in-law, Claude Beal, South Orange; and three grandchildren, Paul Hollenback, Indianapolis; Thurman Hollenback, Brookfield, Ill.; and Dick Beal, Western Springs; and their families.

General Notes: Barton County, Missouri Biographies-William DYE History Of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade And Barton Counties, Missouri, 1889. Published by Goodspeed. Pages 886, 887

William Dye, recorder of Barton County, Mo., and one of the prominent men of the community, was born in Pulaski County, Ind., November 22, 1849, and is the son of William and Emily (Hollenback) Dye, natives, respectively, of Miami County, Ohio, and Franklin County, Va. The father, after growing up, married Miss Meeks, who bore him a large family of children. After her death he married Miss Hollenback, and two children were the result of this union. Since then he has been married twice-four times all together. He is now living in Pulaski County, Ind., is eighty-two years of age, and is enjoying comparatively good health. He is a Democrat in politics, though formerly a Whig; is a farmer by occupation, and a member of the United Brethren Church.

William Dye, Jr., the only son by the second marriage, was educated in a public school, and at Logansport Seminary. At the age of nineteen he began teaching school, and continued this occupation for five or six years. In 1874 he married Miss Maria Black, a native of Cass County, Ind., who bore him five children, two sons and a daughter of whom are now living. After marriage Mr. Dye resided in Cass County, Mo., until 1878, when he came to this county and bought a farm, which he cultivated until 1882, when he was elected probate judge of Barton County, and held this position four years. In 1886 he was chosen recorder, which position he is now holding. He is truly a self made man, having made his own way in life since seventeen years of age, and when starting out for himself was obliged to teach and go to school by turns. He is a member of the school board, a member of the Masonic fraternity, and in his political views is a Democrat.

Death Notes: from Find A Grave:
CORRECTION:
Evidently the tombstone engraving of his death year of 1887 is INCORRECT and should be 1897:
Cemetery records are:
"T. N. Young - records show [death] date as 25 May 1897, age 71.
The online Pre-1905 death index for Orange County shows a death date of 27 May 1897, age 71, pob Pennsylvania, male/married."

His birth of 1826 has been verified by censuses and coincides with the tombstone inscription. His place of birth should be VA. He had a sister that was reportedly born in PA as the family moved from VA to IL which could account for that error.

Birth Notes: His date and place of birth came from his tombstone. In 1830 his parents lived in Hampshire Co., VA. I didn't find them in 1820, so I suppose it's possible he was born in Harpers Ferry, which is not a great distance away. However, his parents married in Hampshire Co. in 1824.

General Notes: Now a little more of my family. As I have said before, father's war record was an honorable one. He was in the battle of Vicksburg, had his windpipe severed and was bleeding to death. His friend, Hancy YOUNG, the drummer boy of the regiment, grabbed the severed windpipe, holding it, and thus stopping the bleeding. That was on the 22nd day of May, 1863, and he lived 49 years to a day, passing away at our San Diego home May 22, 1912.

General Notes: With the exception of 1850 when Wm. was living with his parents and 1910 when he lived at the Soldiers & Sailors home, I'm not sure any of the census data I have for him is correct.

Captain Lutz was born October 31st, 1838 at Circleville, O., at which place he resided until the breaking out of the rebellion, when he entered the ranks of the 2nd Ohio regiment, and with it participated in the first battle of Bull Run. After the expiration of his three months' term, he assisted in recruiting and organizing Company B., 13th Ohio regiment, of which he became First Lieutenant, which position he resigned to accept the Captaincy of Company A., 27th Ohio regiment, with which he served under Fremont in Missouri, and afterwards participated in the capture of Island No. 10, in the battle of Corinth, the battle of Iuka and campaign in Northern Mississippi. He resigned in March, 1863, and in the following December was married at Circleville, O., to Carrie Howard, only daughter of Henry Howard, deceased, former Sheriff of Pickaway county, by whom he had two children, Florence and Howard, the former fifteen and the latter four years of age. In 1865 he established a drug store in Genesee, Mo., where he remained until 1868, when he moved to Chicago, and there remained until his death. As a soldier and citizen he was all men ought to be, and now we his comrades are called upon to join his bereaved family in tearful regrets over his untimely death.

OBITUARY
"I have fought a good fight,
I have finished by course,
I have kept the faith;
Henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness."
Such was the thought in the hearts of all when word came that the spirit had left the body of our beloved friend, Mrs. J. T. Leatherman, Friday Nov. 29, 1929 in the hospital at Salina, Kansas, where she had been taken with the hope that something could be done that her days might be prolonged.

For nearly four weeks, all the medical skill and science, all that kindness and love, all that prayerful sympathy and care could do was given that her life might be spared. But the Great Ruler of All had decreed otherwise and the command was given, "come up higher." and the home lost a living devoted mother, a cheerful, patient, helpful wife and friends lost one whom they reverred and loved because of her many sterling qualities.

She will be missed as only a mother is missed when the fireside circle is broken; she will be missed by the children and the children's children who have always turned to her for counsel, love and sympathy; she will be missed by a mulitude of friends who have long known her and cherished her friendship; but she has "finished the fight, she has kept the faith, and has been awarded her "crown". Her whole life has been characterized by her loyalty to home, children, church and friends and this spirit of loyalty has left its imprint on the lives of all whom she touched.

Sarah Martha Dobbns was born in Mineral county, West Virginia on October 30, 1848 and departed this life at Salina, Kansas, on Friday, November 29, 1929 at the age of 81 years and one month. On June 22, 1875, she was married to John T. Leatherman in White county, Indiana. To the Union was born six children: Flora A. of Tulsa, Okla., Elmer C. of Detroit, Kansas; Mrs. Elizabeth Childers, Homer E. and Edna all of Chapman, Modie T. the eldest child preceded his mother in death, having died at the age of fifteen.

The family moved to Kansas in February, 1881, locating in north Dickinson. Removing to Chapman in 1898 where they have since made their home. Mrs. Leatherman became a member of the Christian church in Childhood and continued to be a member till moving to Chapman. where she united with the Scherer Memorial church in which she has always taken an active and faithful part.

Besides her husband and children, she leaves eight grandchildren and the following brothers and sisters: W.T. Dobbins of Abilene, Kansas; C.W. Dobbins of Clay Center, Kansas; Mrs. A. J. Scripter, of Industry; Mrs. S. D. Scripter, of Detroit, Kansas; and a foster sister, Mrs. W. A. Martin of Yuma, Colorado, besides a host of friends and relatives.

The funeral services were held in the Scherer Memorial Lutheran church on Sunday, December, 1, 1929, at 2:30 pm conducted by Rev. G.K. Mykland, the pastor and assisted by Rev. O.L. Cook of Stephens, where the deceased had formerly held her membership. Interment was made in the Indian Hill Cemetery.

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.

Asad married Cornelia Rachel "Nellie" Walton, daughter of Henry Clay Walton and Eleanor Shepard, on 7 Dec 1865 in , Franklin Co., Ohio.⁴⁴ Cornelia was born on 3 Jul 1844 in , Delaware Co., Ohio, died on 17 Apr 1916 in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio^¹⁹⁹ at age 71, and was buried after 17 Apr 1916 in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.

Marriage Notes: The LDS record shows Fillmore Co., OH. My software says there never was a county in OH by that name. It must be a transcription error.

A copy of the record image is now online. It shows Asa T. Hollenback is over 21 and Cornelia R. Walton is over 18. The license was granted 4 Dec 1862 and the return shows they were married on 7 Dec 1865 by C. E. Felton in Franklin Co., OH.

Death Notes: Informant was Clint C. Hollenback

Burial Notes: Green Lawn Cemetery

General Notes: Her maiden name came from her death certificate. There is a discrepancy in the death certificate that I don't understand. Her name is listed as Cornelia Rachel Calnon - Hollenback. Her father's name was Henry Clay Walton b PA and her mother was Eleanor Shepherd b OH. I don't know if the name listed at the top of the certificate is an error, or if she was previously married. Clint C. Hollenback was the informant.

from Ed Carlson:
Nellie Rachel 'N.R.' Hollenback opened the Hollenback House hotel in Kinsley, Edwards County, Kansas in late 1878. Her son, Joe A. Hollenback, died suddenly as was buried in Kinsley. The first article regarding his death had the family name mis-spelled and that is how it got included on the burials in the old cemetery. The articles include a brief death notice for Joe, but no birth dates or family names.
ecarlson11@comcast.net

Ed sent me a copy of a Kansas State Supreme Court ruling from 1882, but the original suit began earlier.

Originally someone, Nellie perhaps, paid $3500. for a piece of property using a note for $400. to pay for one part of it. The very first part of the suit is not included in available .pdf file. It appears she was sued for $250. still owing on the note. The sum of $125. of Nellie's was attached. At some point Thomas Calnon filed a challenged the attachment. I'm not sure, but he may have been claiming the $125. was his, not hers. A judge ordered the $125. be paid to Thomas Calnon. It further states the Thomas Calnon and Nellie Hollenback were non-residents of Edwards county during this suit and have been and are totally insolvent during the entire time. The original filing was stamped "No property".

I don't understand the outcome of the Supreme Court ruling. What's important to the family history is in the entirety of the proceedings Nellie is named as Nellie Hollenback, despite being on the 1880 census as Nellie Calnon.

This census has a big difference from 1880. All match but Alfred. On 1880 there was a Geo dau 6, now it's Alfred. The age is o.k., so perhaps he's George Alfred.

Birth Notes: 26 Jun 1856 is the birth date I had originally posted, but I don't know from whence it came. On the marriage license to Elizabeth Stonerock he lists his birth date as 16 Dec 1856, the date currently listed as his date of birth.

His obit and death record give his birth date as 26 Jan 1856. I kept the date he listed as the other would have been given by his children.

Death Notes: OH Death records at Ancestry.com and copy of death certificate. Death certificate lists his parents names as "unknown". There is something listed as the birth city or town for his father, but I can't read it. Informant was Frank Hollenback of Ashville, OH.

Informant: Frank Hollenback, Ashville, OH
Burial at S. Bloomfield 11 Dec 1930

from the Circleville, OH newspaper:
Frank Hollenback, aged 74, resident of Pickaway co his entire life, died at his home at Millport Tuesday at 4 p.m., after a heart attack. He was born in Pickaway co. Jan 26, 1856.

He was twice married, his first wife being Mary Acker and his second Elizabeth Roese. Both preceded him in death.

Surviving are three sons from the first marriage, Carl, Homer and Ralph, all of Columbus, and two sons, Frank and Amos from his second marriage.

Funeral services will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. at the Millport church with Rev L. H. Hampshire officiating. Burial will be at South Bloomfield cemetery by F. F. Schlegel.

I cannot explain the difference in the names of the children from his first marriage in his obituary and the names I have found. The names I have came from official records. Perhaps the younger children who most likely gave the information weren't well-acquainted with their half-brothers. Some of the information on the 3 sons of the first marriage came from family members themselves. [LouAnn 2012]

Burial Notes: His death certificate lists S. Bloomfield as his burial place, which must be the Harrison Twp. Cemetery.

General Notes: Columbus City Directories 1887-1892:
Name: Frank Hallenback Location 2: W Broad near Souder, W. C Occupation: brakeman State: OH

I found a Frank, but too seldom and with no real proof that it's this person. His age matches, but I found him only in 1880 and 1920. In 1880 he was a boarder, as he was in 1920. In 1920 he lists his parents b Germany, which would be incorrect for this Franklin Hollenback. However, his age matched.

He is living as a boarder in the household of Lizzie Stonerock with two Hollenback children, Frank Jr. and Amos.

On the 1910 census Elizabeth Stonerock is listed as a 39 year old widow with 5 children in her home. She state she had 9 children, 6 living. Those living with her are Earl 17, Milton 7, Martha 6, Frank 3 and Amos 7/12. If these last two children are Hollenbacks in 1920, one would believe that Frank must be somewhere in the vicinity, but I can't locate him.

In 1900 Lizzie is living with John Stonerock in Columbus, OH with children Carrie, Earl and Milton.

I have now found info from Frank's marriage to Lizzie Stonerock listing his parents as Alford Hollenback and Ellen Prescott. This is the same Frank Hollenback.

Noted events in his life were:

If this is the correct Frank, and the age matches, the Germany is wrong. The information for this Frank matches the obit for the Frank Jr. above in my research notes. I have been unable to locate this Frank since 1880.

General Notes: from Gerald Alspaugh:
When I was little, my dad's brother (Kenneth) used to call me Levi. I figure it was because of this Levi. Nicholas Stuckey is listed as a farm hand for Paul. Paul's son Samuel and Nick's daughter Alma became my dad's parents.

I've already mentioned about how my dad's parents met. Paul's wife, Lovina, was a Weiser from Greencastle. He and Lovina's dad were charter members of the Weaver Odd Fellows, in Greencastle. My other great grandfather, Nick Stuckey, also had Greencastle properties, so he must have saved his money while working on Paul's farm.

The Alspachs settled around here [Greencastle, OH] around 1800. I'll send you photos of the Rock Mill and Rock Mill Bridge. The Rock Mill was built by Johann Jacob Alspach's nephew in about 1822? I think. They are now getting it back to a working mill.

5. military pension: 17 Oct 1916, Saint Louis, Gratiot Co., Michigan. Louisa Durfee applied for a widow's pension on 17 Oct 1916, stating Abraham had served in Co F 72nd Reg Ohio Vol Infantry and was honorably discharged 18 Dec 1862. She stated she had married the soldier as Louisa Blodgett at Hancock Co., OH on 10 Apr 1874 by Joseph Thompson, J. P. She also stated she had been previously married, but was legally divorced at Findlay, OH, and names her first husband as Charles Blodgett.

She gave Abraham's death date as 11 May 1915 at St. Louis, Michigan.

She listed her Durfee children:
William b 13 Apr 1875 at Hancock Co., OH
Nettie b 20 Dec 1877 at Wood Co., OH
Chester b 18 Sep 1880 at Isabella Co., MI
Orie b 14 Feb 1884 at Isabella Co., MI
Minerva b 17 Dec 1886 at Isabella Co., MI

Louisa Durfee signed her application. Witness: A. E. Branch and Eugene Davison, both of St. Louis, MI

On 28 May 1872 Louisa Hollenback Blodgett received a divorce from Charles Blodgett. The Court record states he had been absent from their home for more than 3 years prior to the filing of petition. It was decreed that the marriage contract between the parties is hereby set aside and wholly annulled. It was further ordered that the care, custody and control of the two children be placed with the petitioner. Charles Blodgett was ordered to pay the costs of this suit in 10 days.

This certified copy of the court order was found in the military pension file of Louisa Durfee.

There is much concern by the pension board in this file about the legality of Louisa's marriage to Abraham Durfee. This has nothing to do with Louisa, but with whether or not Abraham was legally divorced from his first wife, Caroline Petie/Petee. She was first married to a Wm. L. Green in 1864. He divorced her in 1865 because of her adultery. She next had a child by Mathew Barringer, a married man. She married Abraham in 1867. One deponent stated Caroline's father paid Abraham a small amount of money to marry her. They lived together about a year, and about a mile from Mathew Barringer. Caroline left Abraham and went to be the housekeeper for Matthew. Barringer sent his wife and family to Fremont, Sandusky, Ohio, and continued to live with Caroline in Ottawa Co., OH. The two, Matthew and Caroline, left together for Abilene, Kansas.

Barringer's wife secured a divorce from him in Sandusky Co., OH in 1869, alleging adultery with Caroline Durfee. Caroline & Matthew lived together in Ottawa Co., OH. No divorce record was found there or in Sandusky Co., OH for Caroline. For the time, Barringer was quite wealthy.

In an attempt to find records in Kansas, it was learned that there had been a courthouse fire.

It was finally determined, because Michigan recognized common law marriages, that even if Abraham were not legally divorced from Caroline, Louisa and Abraham's marriage was legal under common law practice.

The file contains a certified copy of the marriage record dated 10 Apr 1874 showing Abraham Durfee and Louisa Blodget were married in Hancock Co., OH by Joseph Thompson, J. P.

There is also a record from the Hancock Co., OH Probate Court showing that a license to marry was granted to Louisa Hollenback and Charles Blodget 24 Dec 1867 and they were married on 26 Dec 1868 by W. A. Crumran, M.G. It is noted that there was one year between the license and the marriage, which may have been a clerical error. The court is positive about the license date as they are recorded in chronological order.

Thomas Durfee, brother to Abraham and living in Michigan Soldiers' Home testified in Louisa's pension case. He stated hed known her since her marriage to his brother, and knew she'd been married to a Blodgett. He stated he knew Abraham's first wife, Caroline Partie, a French girl, well. They went to school together. She had a child by another man before she married Abraham, and he tried to persuade his brother not to marry her. He further stated she ran away with Matt Barringer to Kansas. From there she wrote to Abraham telling him that if he would not fight a "Bill", she would not ask for alimony. He believed she'd divorced his brother, but had no certain knowledge of it.

Manley A. Stevens, a Justice of the Peace also testified, stating he knew Louisa. He'd been asked to try to determine if Abraham and Caroline had been divorced. He corresponded with the Clerk of the Court, Probate Judge, undertakers, and the Secretary of the Odd Fellows at Abilene, Kansas, and was unable to learn anything about Caroline or Barringer. The Court House burned at Abilene in 1882. That is the only definite fact he learned from his correspondence.

John N. Bonney testified that he knew both Abraham and Louisa, who lived together as man and wife, and she had not remarried. He stated Louisa was in destitute circumstances, and he was providing for her now from the public funds. He stated her house is hardly fit for human habitation and was a very cold place for an old woman.

R. S. McCall testified that he knew Louisa, but had seen her only once or twice in 25 years. She was his aunt by marriage. Abraham Durfee was his father's brother. He didn't know anything about Caroline, but did know that Louisa had been married to a Blodgett and there were two children by that marriage, girls, Bertha and Josephone. Bertha married George Kief and lives in the neighborhood. He knew nother more about Josephine.

Bertha A. Kief testified, on 20 Dec 1919, stating she was 49, the wife of George Kief, a farmer, with a postal address of RR 3, Shepherd, Michigan. He states the claimant is her mother, whose maiden name was Hollenback, and believes she was born in Findlay, Hancock Co., OH. She believes she had two brothers, but isn't sure, and does not know their names or if they're living. She doesn't believe she had any sisters. She stated her mother had been married to Charles Blodgett, her father, and there was also her sister Euphemia, now a widow of Charles Kelley, living at Mt. Pleasant, this [Isabella] county. She has no knowledge what became of her father, as her parents separated before she was born, in Hancock Co., OH. She stated she didn't know how her mother made a living unless the town helped her. Last Summer she lived with the Kiefs, and she could hardly get around.

She has a Bible record that she thinks was copied from her mother's Bible. It shows: James Kief b 20 Jul 1829, Margaret Kief, b 26 Aur 1833, Charley Blodgett b 19 Nov 1840, Louisa Blodgett b 20 Jun 1843. "This family record contains other data not necessary to be copied, no bearing on case. It is a large paper for framing, writing fresh-RSM]"

The claimant had five children by Abraham Durfee, William, Jeanette, Chester, Ora and Minerva, all living but William.
Signed Bertha A. Kief.

Newel Smith, Attorney, received a request from the pension office asking for Louisa's postal address in 1850 and 1860, the names of all the members of her grandfather's family, and the family of her uncle John Green; also the full Christian name of her brother O. H. Hollenback, and whether either of them rendered military service.

On 20 Dec 1919, Louisa Durfee gave sworn testimony. She stated she was 76 years old on 10 of last June, and was born in 1843. The only Bible record she has is the one she wrote herself. Her Bible was published in 1869 and has listed: Abraham Durfee and Louisa Blodgett was married 10 Apr 1874; Abraham Durfee was b 18 Aug 1840; Louisa Durfee was b 10 Jun 1843. The next record is the births of her children, made by her more than 20 years ago. The record had been on a piece of paper, and fearing it would be lost, copied it into her Bible.

She stated no son served in WW I. Abraham's service is on his tombstone. He d 11 May 1915, "in that room right there". Most of the time since she had lived alone, except occasionally her daughter Nettie Barrett stayed with her. She had spent some time at her daughter Bertha Kief's home.

"In 1850 I lived with my grandfather, George Hollenback, in Hancock county, 12 miles west of Finley [sic]. I do not know the name of the township. Our postoffice address was Benton Ridge, and we lived three miles west of that village. It was on the road to Findlay. The family was composed of my grandfather, my grandmother Nancy Hollenback and my mother, Margaret Hollenback and myself. I do not know anything about my father.

In 1860 I lived with my uncle John Green but I cannot tell where he lived at that time. After the death of my grandfather in 1854, except a short time, I lived at his house until I was a grown woman but he moved about so much that I cannot tell now where he lived in 1860. When I went to his house he lived in Benton Ridge, he remained there awhile and then he moved out into the country just how far I cannot remember, but when he went to the army he lived on my grandfather's old place. The members of his family were John Green, Catherine, his wife, Thomas, Bigelow, William, Isaac, John, George, Sherman, their children, and myself…..

My maiden name was Hollenback; I was born in Hancock County, Ohio. I never had any sisters but I had one brother, Henry Hollenback, who was killed in the army; he served in Co. F, 65 Ohio. I had another brother, Owen Hollenback, but I do not know where he is. I have not seen him since he was a small child with dresses on. When my grandfather died, we were scattered.

I grew up to womanhood with my uncle, John Green, lived with him 13 years. That was in Hancock county but he moved about from place to place in that county, lived around on farms. I suppose some of his children are living in Findlay, Ohio, but I know nothing about them. After my mother died I wrote back there to find out something about her, etc., and they must have thought I wanted some of her money and they never answered me. I wrote twice."

She further stated she was married to Charles Blodgett on her grandfather's old farm. We lived together until March, 1870 when he went away and left me. He stayed around in the nighborhood, then went to Kansas. I got a divorce. "After he went to Kansas he cut up such awful di-does that they hung him up by the neck or that was what I heard." She stated she had two Blodgett daughters, Euphemia Kelley, a widow, and Bertha Kief.

She stated her marriage date to Abraham and the names of her children, stating William was deceased. "Nettie is married to Will Barrett and lives on the other side of Redstone; I do not know anything about her. Chester is away in Oklahoma somewhere, but I don't know where; Ora lives north of Elwee, is married and has a farm there; Minerva is married to Gene St. John and lives in Breckenridge, Mich., RFD."

"Durfee and I were married at the home of Jim McLeish, I do not know the correct spelling."

She acknowledged that Abraham had been married before to a "miserable woman", who stripped the house of everything while Abraham was away at work. Abraham could neither read nor write, and all he knew about Caroline's leaving or getting a divorce was what people told him. "Abraham Durfee got a letter from his father that Caroline had married old Barringer and that he, Abraham, could get married as soon as he pleased now."

She listed the places she lived after her marriage to Abraham: Ohio, moved to Michigan in 1877, Isabella Co. on a farm. His father had a farm there. Next she lived at Elwell, back on a farm, then in Vestaburg, back on a farm, and to St. Louis at least 20 years ago. She has not remarried.
Signed: Louisa Durfee

On 16 September 1920 Louisa Durfee appointed A. E. Branch, of St. Louis, MI as her power of attorney to take charge off all her business affairs.

8 Jun 1922, Louisa Durfee to Special Examiner of Bureau of Pensions, stated she would be 79 day after tomorrow. Her pension was $30. a month; her address 216 Clinton Street, St. Louis, MI. She stated her first pension payment was $1148. and some cents. She stated that she deposited her checks in the Central State Savings Bank at Shepherd, MI, that that her bank book and check book were mailed to her. Her bank book shows she deposited only $193.03. She stated Bert Green, her daughter Bertha Kief and she went to Shepherd to place her money in the bank bacause she was staying with her daughter. After she got her money, she left because her daughter and son-in-law wanted her to do something with her money she didn't want to do.

She stated she received $90.00 each three months and turned every one over to A.E. Branch, except the last check for $90. She used a portion to pay the funeral expenses due for the death of her son Chester Sherman Durfee who died at Tuscon, Arizona. That was paid to Mr. McDonald here who is an undertaker.

She stated she gave A. E. Branch a power of attorney to look after her arrairs. It was difficult for her to get around, as she was lame. She stated Mr. Branch had been the undertaker for both her husband and her son William. The county paid for her husband. She gave a mortgage to Mr. Branch for the funeral of William. When she received her pension, she paid that off.

When asked if she received an accounting, she stated it's at his place of business. She also said he has her note. He took money out of the bank at Shepherd and put it on interest at 7%. She doesn't know where its invested, but says he has the note showing he owes her in his safe.

He furnished what she wanted to eat, drink, and wear. He gave her no security for this responsibility. She further stated she was told he took her money and bought a hearse and "Lord knows I did not know anything about it." She asked Mr. Branch about it and he didn't answer, just laughed. She still owes for part of Chester's funeral. He died 9 Mar 1922. She mortgaged her house to get his body back home and buried. Total cost was $360.00 and she owes $260. Chester told her he had served in WW I. He came for a visit after discharge, then returned to AZ because he had tuberculosis.
Louisa Durfee signed.

On the same date Herbert Bishop gave testimony. He always went to the post office and picked up her vouchers for her. He stated she took all but $156.00 of her two checks $1147.47 and $90. to Shepherd and put it in the bank. She paid her son Ora the $156.00 on a mortgage on her house. He also stated that Bert Green, a mail carrier, told him that Mr. Branch drew her money out shortly after she deposited it and sent it to Grand Rapids and bought a hearse. Mr. Green said a cashier at the bank had told him. Shortly after withdrawing Louisa's money, Branch went to her home. Mr. Bishop heard Branch tell her he had her $1000 on 7% interest. She asked with whom, and was told he'd tell her later.

He continued, relating that Branch has been in town 6-7 years, and had buried her husband and her son William. When Chester died, Louisa hired someone else. Chester was married, but had trouble with his wife's people; enlisted in the army under an assumed name and went to the Panama Canal. Upon discharge, he came home, then went back to Arizona, where he died. Louisa had no idea what name he used in the Army.

Also, he stated that Louisa owes him about $350.00. He had an understanding with Euphemia Kelley and Nettie Barrett that I was to look after Louisa, go to the house, get in her kindling, and report to the daughters about her. For this they were to pay me $50 a year, but they didn't pay him anything and neither has the pensioner. He stated that her money is now gone and all she has is what Branch hands out in driblets. Once last winter she had to get money from the overseer of the poor, John N. Bonney for half a ton of coal. He believes that Louisa needs a guardian to see she gets the use of her money.
Signed Herbert Bishop

13 Jun 1922 The Special Examiner made a report to the Commissioner of Pensions, summarizing all the statements above. He additionally stated that when he was trying to interview her, she took no interest and wanted to read a newspaper, and did so until her told her to put it away. He concludes that Louisa should have a guardian, stating she is a helpless cripple, cannot get about and never had any education. While the examiner was in town, the Branch family was out of town attending a funeral. Before leaving town, Mr. Branch went to see Louisa and gaver her $1.00.

On 24 Sep 1927 R. L. Baldwin, Administrator of Estate of Louisa Durfee sent the Bureau of Pensions a Certified copy of Final Account of Guardian for Louisa Durfee. It is on The Farmers' State Bank letterhead.
Debits: Sale of real estate $250.00; Interest on deposit of money sale of R.E. $1.50. [If other accounting papers were sent, they were not in the file.]

Mr. Baldwin received a letter from the pension Commissioner dated 24 Nov 1928, stating he will be reimbursed, $78.75. It says the doctor and nurse were paid from pensioner's own funds. The only approvable charge is that of $319. for undertaking, livery, cemetery and minister, but therefrom must be deducted $180.25, net assets left by the pensioner, and $60. paid to the undertaker under State law, leaving the stated balance due.

It is noted by the Probate Court on 24 Mar 1916 for Louisa's military pension file that there was one year between the license and the marriage, "which may have been a clerical error. The court is positive about the license date as they are recorded in chronological order.

In Louisa's statement for her military pension, she stated that she and Charles Blodgett were married on her grandfather's old farm.

On an earlier paper dated 26 Jan 1914 Thomas W. Green personally appeared before a Notary Public at Findlay, Hancock Co., OH. He presented a large Bible which he says was the family Bible of his parents, John and Catharine Green.

I hereby certify that said Bible is a large leather bound book. The leaves thereof are turned considerably yellow from age.

The record of birth above bears no marks of erasure or alteration and from the appearance of the writing I believe the entry to have been made years ago.

I hereby certify that the above is correct. Given under my hand and notarial seal this 26th January 1914. Signed C. A. Stockton, Notary Public

It is signed Thomas Lee

In Thomas Green's deposition he stated he suffered with diarrhea while in the service. He was treated by Dr. Phillips who sent him into the nearby woods to ear berries, which helped. Later he had lung fever, which has plagued him ever since. He has a productive cough. He was in the hospital for it in service, and again treated by Dr. Phillips. His diarrhea returned. The officer gave him lighter duty because of it, taking care of the adjutant's horse and sometimes the colonel's horse. His duties were at the headquarters. He visited with the other soldiers, and they came to visit him. He had a bunk to himself, and ate withthe officers at the headquarters. The rest is more details about his illnesses and the names of the officers who would know about his illnesses.

Death Notes: When death called from the Morrowville community to the great beyond Mrs. Sara J. Green, it robbed a home of a good wife and a true mother, and left the neighborhood to mourn for a kind friend and neighbor. Sarah J. Green was born June 15, 1847 and died at her home in Morrowville Thursday, May 29, 1924 aged 76 years 9 months 14 days. She was sick but a few days and her death came as a shock to family and friends. March 28, 1867 she was married to R. B. Green in Hancock County, Ohio, which had been the scene of her birth and early childhood. The family later moved to Table Rock, NE, and twenty years ago came to this county. She was the mother of 8 children, two of whom are dead, and the remaining children and her husband are left to mourn her departure. Those surviving are the husband, two sons, Eugene of Morrowville and O. I. Green of Greenleaf, four daughters, Mrs. S. C. Marks of Hiawatha, KS; and Mrs. Eunice York of Sheridan, WY, all of whom were present at the funeral. The funeral service was held at the home Monday, June 2nd, conducted by Rev. M. M. McGuire. A quartet composed of H. H. Diller, Miss Blanche Kose?, Miss Helen Diller and Rev. McGuire sang appropriate selections. The body was then taken to Table Rock where interment was made.

General Notes: from Centennial Biography History pgs 579-80

Isaac M. Greene is the son of a veteran in more ways than one. His father was one of the first settlers of hancock county and one of those who scacrificed time, prospects and life for their country upon the field of battle. On the maternal side Isaac is descended from the Hollenbacks of Fairfield county, where both his parents were born. John Greene, the father was a farmer and sawyer who spent the best years of his manhood in leveling the forest ad making the wilderness a fit place for civilization. When the struggle between the north and the south was on, he entered the Ond Hundred and Eighteenth Ohio Regiment of Volunteer Infantry for three years of active service. He lost his right arm in battle, and though small attention was paid to it at the time, he never fully recovered from the shock and in 1877 died from the effects of his wound. His wife Catherine is still alive. Seven of his nine children are living, four in Hancock county.

Isaac M. Greene has always lived in this county. He was born August 10, 1852, and got his education at home and in the district school. He very early went to farming, and has always been a hard worker and an honest man. He is thoroughly progressive and is now busily engaged in improving a few farm of eighty acres bought in 1902. On Febfruary 18, 1875, he was united in marriage to Miss Percy Handshy, a daughter of Sebastian and Sarah Handshy, early settlers of this county. She was one of nine children, of whom five are living. Mrs. Greene was born in this county in 1850. She has made for her husband a very happy home. Once has a shadow come into their wedded life. On February 19, 1900, the angel of death hovered near and bore away the ninetee year sold son Ira. Two sons only remain to them; they are: Hirma L., born February 5, 1876; and Marion O., born May 29, 1883. Ira was born on January 26, 1881. Mr. Greene belongs to the "Christian Union".

CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIED YESTERDAY NOON

Charles P. Johnston, 74 years old, passed away yesterday afternoon at his home 1904 Wellington Place, after two and a half years' illness. He was born in Virginia November 22, 1844. In 1862 he joined the Confederate army as a member of Company B, Eleventh Regiment of the Confederate Cavalry. He served in twenty-four battles with General Lee, among them the greatest fought during the Civil War.

Forty years ago he came to Kansas and settled in Reno County. He resided there until about twenty years ago, when he came to Wichita and became interested in live stock business at the stock yards, and remained in active business there until two and a half years ago, when he was taken ill, which finally caused his death.

Mr. Johnston was one of the few remaining Confederate veterans in this city, the organization not being composed of many men now. During the time of his business interests at the stock yards he endeared himself to everyone who became acquainted with him, and his stories of the war were much in demand.

He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. M. W. Dorsey of this city. The funeral services will be held from the Cavalry Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J. S. Stapleton will be in charge of the services. Interment will be made in Maple Grove Cemetery. The Mueller Untertaking Company is in charge of the arrangements.

WM. GIBSON JOHNSON
At his home, surrounded by the immediate members of his family, Wm. Gibson Johnson departed this life at 11:00 p.m., May 23, 1926, at the age of 75 years, 10 months, 10 days.

Mr. Johnson was born near Hampton Roads, in West Virginia, July 13, 1850 to the union of Wm. Johnson and Margaret Rinehart. This union was blessed by two other children, Sarah A. and Robert P. Johnson. Like many early pioneers, the family braved the hardships and dangers of ox team travel and Indian attacks, crossed to the frontier outskirts of civilization and settled in Knox county, Mo. in 1852.

His boyhood passed, he was untied in marriage in 1871 to Elizabeth Ann Pond. Of this union two children were born, Wm. Allen Johnson, who survives and Annie May Johnson who passed away in infancy. This union was destined to be of short duration, and the will of God was supreme.

A few years elapsed, and this natural home builder and husband, feeling the needs of a helpmate, was united in marriage to Emma E. Lockett, at Grant City, Mo., March 31, 1884. As a result of this happy and successful union, three children were born, Bertha B., Raymond Parker, and Florence Luella. The four children and the bereaved widow survive, and cherish the memory of the deceased.

Funeral services were conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Chas R. Lichte, officiating. Internment was made in Fairview cemetery. Relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were, Mrs. Wm. Wilkerson, a niece, and husband of LaPlata, Mo.; Wm. A. Johnson, a son of Chicago.

General Notes: Based on a letter that his mother wrote to her Aunt Catherine Hollenback Allen in WV dated 29 Dec 1871, I believe that "Gip" married on 21 Dec 1871. She stated that Gib got married last Thursday. Knox county MO marriages aren't online, so I don't know whom he married.

This could be his first marriage - William C/G? Johnson married Miss Ann Pond on 21 Dec 1871 in Knox Co., MO by John Winn, M.G. [Her name is transcribed Pand, but I think it's Pond.]

The date matches what his mother wrote in her letter.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIED YESTERDAY NOON

Charles P. Johnston, 74 years old, passed away yesterday afternoon at his home 1904 Wellington Place, after two and a half years' illness. He was born in Virginia November 22, 1844. In 1862 he joined the Confederate army as a member of Company B, Eleventh Regiment of the Confederate Cavalry. He served in twenty-four battles with General Lee, among them the greatest fought during the Civil War.

Forty years ago he came to Kansas and settled in Reno County. He resided there until about twenty years ago, when he came to Wichita and became interested in live stock business at the stock yards, and remained in active business there until two and a half years ago, when he was taken ill, which finally caused his death.

Mr. Johnston was one of the few remaining Confederate veterans in this city, the organization not being composed of many men now. During the time of his business interests at the stock yards he endeared himself to everyone who became acquainted with him, and his stories of the war were much in demand.

He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. M. W. Dorsey of this city. The funeral services will be held from the Cavalry Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J. S. Stapleton will be in charge of the services. Interment will be made in Maple Grove Cemetery. The Mueller Untertaking Company is in charge of the arrangements.

Death Notes: A Memorial by Robert B. Woodworth, D. Sc. on 3 Mar 1938:

The history of a particular church reflects the religious experiences and activities of certain individuals in the church. So Patterson's Creek Presbyterian Church deeply mourns the loss of its senior elder, John Wilson Rinehart, gathered into the garner of God, near midnight, December 18, 1937; the years of his pilgrimage eighty-seven, his last illness brief, his departure in submission, peace and confidence; death took him not unawares.

George Rinehart and Elizabeth Chandler, his wife, professed their faith under Rev.. James Black in 1815; their four younger children then baptized. He was trustee in 1819 for the new church edifice named Eusebia, which means Godliness, oldest place for divine worship now in use in Mineral County, W. Va.

Elijah Rinehart, their son, professed the faith under Rev. William Henry Foote in 1831; fell on sleep December 20, 1896, aged eighty-five years, a member sixty-five years, an elder sixty-one, clerk of session twenty-nine; his wife Charity Hollenback, a true yoke-fellow in goodness, grace and good works, fifty-five years, their seven grown children active members in the church here and elsewhere. They adorned the name of their church.

Born into this goodly inheritance September 2, 1859 their son John Wilson Rinehart, maintained its finest traditions and perpetuated its influences with great distinction; son of the covenant; member by profession in 1868, deacon in 1890, ruling elder nearly forty-four years, clerk of session forty, many years Sunday school superintendent and chief teacher, often seated and well-known in Synod and the Presbytery of Winchester, commissioner to the General Assembly in 1916. He was forward to erect the present building in 1`8912 and in its upkeep as nearby resident elder; his house, like his father's, a lodging place for successive ministers, always made at home. He was active and alert in civic affairs, a good farmer, a director in the bank at Keyser, a man of influence, loved and respected and without reproach from his youth.

His wife was Helen McDonald Howison, woman of grace, goodness and quiet influences, a teacher trained, daughter of John Howison of Fredericksburg, niece of Rev. Robert Reid Howison, lawyer, minister and Virginia historian. Six children blessed this union. The oldest daughter, Mary Buckner, is wife to John D. Blue, elder at Romney; the oldest son, Elijah, elder at Relay, Md. Another son, John, carries on in his father's church and neighborhood, another daughter, Mrs. Helen Herriott, sheds her kind influences on the South Branch. Ann, Mrs. Kuykendall, and Minnie, Mrs. Wagner, sleep in Eusebia graveyard.

His prayers and good deeds have gone up to God for a memorial; his generation has been blessed by his presence, an elder that indeed ruled well, blameless as God's steward, with children and grandchildren that believe.

Sister Sallie and myself went over on Sunday morning and staid with him until after his departure on Monday 3 oclock PM he was perfectly rational untill he breathed his last and so peacefully and calmly did he breathe his last that it was difficult to tell just when it was.

We had little Agnes over with us for 2 weeks on Sunday Evening Doctor said he couldnt live. Willie took horse and Buggy and came for Agnes he got home with her at 10 O.clock P.M.

Edgar took her on the bed and kissed her, the 2 days I were there I never saw such interest manifested by all the people of Keyser for his recovery and when the sad news was announced that Edgar Taylor's dead it came like a flash of lightning accompanied by a peal of Thunder all stood in amazement and wonder at the mysterious working of Providence.

Edgar Taylor was biloved by all in the church and out, in his death the wayword the thoutless & men of the world were brought to feel & act different from what they did before.

Edgar and Willie had just gotten their business in a nice shape for doing in the future a paying business having adopted the cash system and building up a large trade. Susie will adm and Willie and her carry on the mercantile business. They have a large stock of good goods on hand and have them all invoyced..
