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.

Death Notes: THE DEATH OF SAMUEL LUCAS
Samuel Lucas, a life ling resident of Tippecanoe county, died at his home in Monroe Saturday evening, October 13, at 8 o'clock at the age of 90y 9m 29d. He had been in poor health for more than two years and his death was due to a complication of diseases and the infirmities of age. He was the son of Benjamin and Mary Lucas and was born in Fayette county, Pa., December 14, 1827. He moved to this county with his parents when quite a small boy and had lived in this community ever since. He was united in marriage to Abigail Hollenbeck November 1, 1849. To this union twelve children were born, of whom eight with the mother have passed to the great beyond. The surviving children are: Mrs Melissa Bell, of Warsaw, Mrs Martha Alburn and Ira and Albert Lucas of Monroe. He also leaves five grandchildren, one great-grandchild and one great-great-grandchild, besides a host of friends to mourn his loss. Mr Lucas united with the Methodist church when quite young and later became a member of the United Brethren church at Monroe, and had lived true to its teachings for the past thirty years. He was a good neighbor and was held in high esteem. The funeral services were conducted from the Monroe church Monday afternoon, October 13, at 2 o'clock, Rev. Fred Feighner, of Warsaw, and Rev. Cain officiating. Interment was made in the Monroe cemetery.

87. David L. or S. HOLLENBACK (David¹⁹, Thomas³, Margaret¹) was born about 1832 in , Sullivan Co., Indiana and died from about 1910 to 1912 in , , , Australia about age 78.

Noted events in his life were:

• 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.

88. Synthia Anna HOLLENBACK (David¹⁹, Thomas³, Margaret¹) was born about 1834 in , Sullivan Co., Indiana and died on 10 Mar 1919 in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Indiana^³⁴ about age 85.

General Notes: On the 1900 census Cynthia listed her children as 5 births, 3 living. I have the names of only 4 children. I found a marriage for Elvira; two possibilities for Laura, and one for Carrie. I found no marriage for Carlton, and I don't know who the 5th birth was. Perhaps that child died very young. By 1910 she listed her births as 6/1.

89. Caroline HOLLENBACK (David¹⁹, Thomas³, Margaret¹) was born in Feb 1835 in , Sullivan Co., Indiana and died on 11 Sep 1905 at age 70.

General Notes: 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.

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

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.

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. His certificate No. 141514. He states that the left side of his body is very weak, almost paralyzed.

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.

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, Sillivan 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.

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).

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.

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.

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

The handwriting of the original was pretty good:

Sunday Morning, Oct 21st 1855,

Dear Brother

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

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

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

Yours Respectfully
To Mr Stephen C Rinehart Enoch Rinehart

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

General Notes: 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.

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.

Nathan P. Hollenback, Sarah Ellen Grubb Rineholt, Martha Emma Kerrick, and Cora Luella Cheeseman, his children;
Blanche Wilson a granddaughter; Adeline Hollenback, widow of William A. Hollenback, deceased, Nettie Davidson Lloyd, widow of Wilmer Davidson, deceased, and Ella Layton, Frank R. Hollenback, Bertha Hollenback, Mabel Elmore and Emory Davidson, his grandchildren, and Wayne Davidson a great grandson, and that all of the above are of legal age except Wayne Davidson, who is a minor, and under no legal disability, and that this order be recorded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

On the 30 Jan he completed a form from the Pension Bureau showing the following:

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

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

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

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

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

[pallbearers listed]

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

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

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

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

Burial Notes: Minonk Cemetery

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

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

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

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

Death Notes: from online tree with no contact data:
Census said she had eight children and all were living. Resided in

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

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.

Birth Notes: His tombstone reads that he was age 50 when he died in 1879. That

Campaign: Federal Penetration up the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers (1862)
Date(s): April 6-7, 1862
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and Maj. Gen. Don
Carlos Buell [US]; Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston and Gen. P.G.T.
Beauregard [CS]

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.

John married Nancy Jane JENNINGS on 1 Jan 1867 in , Schuyler Co., Illinois, daughter of Roswell JENNINGS and Mary ADAMS.

Marriage Notes: Book C/0024/4049
This marriage was conducted by Samuel McCreary, J.P.
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)

"Bessie (Harris) buried 12 Aug 1882 ... infant daughter of (Unknown) and Nancy Jane (Jennings/Hollenback). She lived but eleven (twelve ?) days; brother Gilda was born 2 Mar 1882, so in that day, Bessie was too premature to live. She is buried in Rushville Cemetery."

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.

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.

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

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 probably 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 hearth 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 borther 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".

• Deed: 19 Nov 1910, , Schuyler Co., Illinois. Deed from Edward Hollenback and Malinda, his wife to Nancy J. Noble for $2,000.00.

The land description is identical to the property that Nancy J. Gragg sold to Edward Hollenback in 1902. The only difference in the two deeds:

Subject to a Mortgage for $1241.00, which Grantee assumes and agrees to pay.

Signed by Ed Hollenback & Malinda Hollenback.

I have a very poor copy of an instrument dated 8 Mar 1912 with the same property description. I cannot read the amount or the names of the Grantee. Based on the index I copied, this might be a mortgage on this property to J. A. Jarman.
Recorded on 26 Dec 1910.

General Notes: Note: She gave the deposition below as Mary Ann Hollenback. She's buried as Mary Ann Hollenback. I believe this marriage might belong to another Mary, perhaps a Mary E.

Mary Ann Hollenback m Thomas D. Matthews 28 Jun 1875 Cass Co., IN Bk 6 p91

Mary Ann lived with her parents through the 1870 census.

From the National Archives, Washington, D.C., pension file of Nancy J. Jennings Hollenback, widow of John B. Hollenback, Civil War Veteran: 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.

I am not sure that this marriage is for this person. The Marriage register lists Mary E., not Mary A. However, the same list for her sister Lucinda gave an incorrect middle initial for her spouse. I have not found an identifiable couple to match this one in the census.

I do have another marriage from the list sent my Nancy Hollenback Martin from the Clerk's office in Logansport, IN: Mary Ann Hollenback to Thomas D. Matthews on 28 June 1875. I'm not sure which of these (or either of these) belong to this Mary Ann Hollenback.

I did not find a Thomas Matthews on the 1880 census that fit for this couple either. (July 2004)

Burial Notes: Indian Creek Christian Church cemetery

General Notes:

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."

The death certificate states Mt. St. Vincent Cemetery. I don't know if they're the same place or if the death record is wrong. Her birthdate on the death certificate doesn't match the Bible; her parents places of birth don't match what they listed on the census records.

235. William Jr. DYE (Emily HOLLENBACK⁴⁷, John⁹, Margaret¹) was born on 22 Nov 1849 in , Pulaski Co., Indiana.

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.
