This letter was written by Sarah Jane Ferris (then, Sarah Stephenson) on April 27, 1910. "A little of my life's experiences, at
the urgent request of my children. "I was born August 22nd, 1821, in Elizabethtown, Essex County, State of New York. My
mother died soon after I was 4 years old. I lived at home until 8 years of age then with a cousin on my father's side for nearly 2
years. Then with an uncle on my mother's side until 13 years old. "In the meantime, I learned to spin wool and flax. I seemed to
be the only one who could be spared from home, but spinning was learned at home. Was not brought up in idleness in either
place. "In 1836, I left my dear father's home with a married sister for a home in Michigan. Arrived in Detroit the fourth of July
after a three weeks journey by canal and Lake Erie. We were both sick with ague and fever a great deal of the time. "I worked
at housework and nursing, when not sick. At 15, was baptized and a young man and his sister, who were strangers to me,
joined at the same time. Have been a member of the M.E. church ever since. Have made many mistakes, not meaningly.
["M.E." stands for Methodist Episcopal Church, a term used to designate the Methodist Church in the northern U.S. The
"Episcopal" refers to a form a governance and not the Anglican Church.]"In 1839, was married to your father [Edwin Zenas
Glass] on January 13th, being past 17 years old and your father was 25. We lived together over 18 years, he dying and leaving
me with a family of six children. Will not attempt to describe the difficulties that were passed through, which were many as
there were only 2 of the children old enough to help provide for our family. I sewed, worked, house cleaned and nursed to help
provide. God helped me, gave me good health. Milton, my eldest, enlisted in the war of the Rebellion in 1864. That was
another trial. Seemed I could not spare him. While he was in the war, I married again [Isacc F. Perrin]. Lived within a 4 mile
radius of the vicinity where I first landed, with the exception of 2 years, for a period of 65 years. [Milton enlisted in the 16th
Regiment of the Michigan Volunteer Infantry on August 15th, 1861 and died in the Battle of Cold Harbor in June 1864.] "If I
could have written my life's experience as they came, it might have been easier, but to bring it up and live it over, I cannot. It
breaks me all up. When this life is over, I hope to be where there is no more sin or sorrow. My great desire is to see my
children that are left to me, Christians, trying to make a better world. That would rejoyce my heart more than anything
else."Sarah Jane Stephenson"

In the death of Reuben E. Glass, who spent the last years of his life retired from active life, in Broken Bow, Nebraska, Custer
county, lost one of its most valuable citzens [sic]. He had been a resident of the state since 1873 and during that time he had
become well known and had made many friends who appreciated his character and worth. Mr. Glass was born in Detroit,
Michigan, November 13, 1846, third of the six children born to Zenas and Sarah (Ferris) Glass, natives of New York. The
father, who was of Scotch-Irish descent, died in Michigan, and the mother survives, making her home in Lincoln, Nebraska. Of
their children: one son, Milton, died in the Civil war; one son, Edwin C., lives in Lincoln; one daughter, Mrs. Sarah Frost, lives
in Lincoln; others are deceased. Mr. Glass grew to manhood's estate on a Michigan farm, receiving his education in local
schools. He served in the civil war as a member of Company D, Twenty-fourth Michigan Infantry, where he won a creditable
record, and after leaving the service returned to Michigan, where he engaged in business in the line of retail drugs. His first
wife was Mrs. Lina Ferguson, who died in Michigan, leaving one daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Nichols, who has since died. In 1873,
Mr. Glass came to Plattsmouth, Cass county, Nebraska, where he engaged in the drug business, and there, on February 3, 1876,
he married Miss Margaret Louise Mitchell, who was born in Iowa and came to Cass county in 1874. She is the daughter of
Francis P. and Margaret (Wright) Mitchell, the former a native of Greene county, Ohio, and the latter of South Carolina. The
father, a physician by profession, died in New Orleans in the fifties, and the mother died in Iowa in 1845. In 1878, Mr. and
Mrs. Glass moved to Kearney, Nebraska, where they spent two years, but on account of failing health he was obliged to give
up his business, and in March, 1880, they came to Custer county and he took a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres on
South Loup where they remained ten years. He also pre-empted one hundred and sixty acres of land, and in 1897 or 1898
purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land on section nineteen, township seventeen range twenty, although he never lived
on the latter place, which Mrs. Glass now owns. In December, 1891, Mr. Glass retired from farm life and purchased a
comfortable residence in Broken Bow, which continued his home until his death, October 11, 1905. He was survived by his
widow, who still lives in the home, where she has every comfort and is surrounded by a large circle of sincere friends. Mr.
Glass was a staunch Presbyterian in religious views and stood ready to help any religious or beneficial movement in his county
or state. He died in the prime of life, and his death came as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances, by whom his loss
was deeply deplored. He was regarded as a public-spirited citizen and highly esteemed by all.

moved to a nearby lake area known as Vandercook Lake after the birth of Barbara. About 1932, Clarence
was laid off from his work at Mechanical Products and the depression years were closing in. Blanche
worked for awhile, but was soon laid off also. The depression years were hard and many times they were
forced to move as they could not pay rent, but somehow they always got by. They lived in Vandercook
for about 10 years and then moved to Jackson on Woodbridge Street; at this time Clarence was working
for the W.P.A., it was very little money, but with Blanche taking in ironings they got by. They moved
again to Francis Street, over a grocery store for a short time, then to 327 Biddle Street, still in Jackson.
About this time, Clarence got a job driving a truck for a candy wholesale supply company and this was
better pay and helped the family greatly. Blanche did housework to help the family income. Clarence then
went to work for Teer-Wickwire and later to Clark Equipment Company, Jackson, from which he retired
in 1967. They moved to Greenwood Avenue and later back to the same home on Biddle Street. Later,

Delzina (Pickens)] born March 24, 1887 Warsaw, Kosciusko, IN and died December 1964 Detroit MI; it
is said he died a very lonely and sick old man. In 1936 resided in Homer MI. In 1931, during the
depression, the family lived on Coy Street in Hazel Park, a suburb of Detroit. Mary was apparently
working in Detroit and while riding to or from work in a car driven by another woman, was involved in a
car-truck accident and was killed. After Mary’s death, and with Boyd suffering from TB, he allowed the
children services to distribute the kids as they saw fit. Donald, the oldest, apparently didn’t like this and
fought with his father about it; he wound up leaving his family and changing his last name to
Voightlander, which is the name he used the rest of his life. Della was sent to a children’s home where she
was sterilized and traumatized to the point that she spent most of her life in a mental institution. Sadie was
handed over to a 2d cousin on Boyd’s side name Priest; Sadie turned over very bitter and will say little
about it. Virginia was adopted out of the family and for a time didn’t know her family or who she was;
she must have been able to find them before she died as Sadie and Della both knew her and her children.
Boyd Jr., age 19, probably went out on his own also because his widow said that he tried for years to find
the rest of his family, with no luck. Born to Mary and Boyd were:

changed his name to Voigtlander. It is said that he fought with his father about placing the kids in family
services and that is why he changed his name. He never went by Spicer again. He married Dell {maiden

Caroline McPherson born November 17, 1817. One source claims he had a second wife and sired a total
of 22 children; in the 1880 census he is married to Caroline and they are living in Clarksburg,
Montgomery, MD. Is it possible that Caroline was his 2d wife considering he was 33y when he married
her? Born to Orsamus and presumably, Caroline, were:

1935 at the Soldier’s Home, Washington DC.; married 1st Ada Cornelia Davey (Wall) and 2d Florida
Thompson. From an obituary, Forsyth, Rosebud County, Montana, July 5, 1924: t was a shock to the
people of Forsyth and vicinity to learn last Friday morning of the death of Mrs. Charles A. Ferris, at the
ranch home on lower Armells valley. Following an operation at the Miles City hospital, two months ago
she was removed to her home and her condition was thought to be improving, but a turn for the worse was
taken and her death came as a surprise. She suffered from cancer of the stomach for nearly five years, but
was never considered serious until last fall, preceding the operation. All that could be done, was done,
promptly, and cheerfully, but to no avail, and the end came peacefully, ending many days of agony for her

and mental suffering for her family and friends. Ada Davey born May 6, 1861, near Utica NY and grew to
young womanhood at that place. She was united in marriage to Charles Ferris December 27, 1894 and
they lived on the ranch, when death overcame her Friday, May 30, 1924 at age 63 years and 24 days. She
was a good woman and her loss is reflected through the entire community. Many are those who loved her
- deeply and sincerely - and her passing will be keenly felt. To her grief-stricken family, her vacant chair
can never be occupied. Miss Davey was the daughter of a civil war veteran and married a veteran of the
Indian wars, as Mr. Ferris came west nearly 60 year ago, and saw considerable army service on the
frontier. Besides her husband, Mrs. Ferris is survived by three children: Mary - Mrs. Raymond Williams,
of Elk, Washington; Kenneth and Alice at home. Interment was made in the Forsyth cemetery (Photo);

born premature and only weighed a few pounds at birth. Her family carried her around on a pillow
because she was so fragile. Enola was the youngest of 14 kids, and was spoiled by all. They say that is
why she was so spoiled and demanding all her life! She married, circa 1881/82, John Andrew Herrell born

April 2008 (3) Joseph
May 28, 1851 and died August 11, 1895, of blood poisoning when gangrene set in after a severe leg
injury; he was directing someone backing up farm equipment, when his leg was injured by a grass cutting
blade; buried Herndon VA. Enola’s obituary reads as follows: Funeral services for Mrs. Enola Kendall
Herrell, 85, who died Friday at her home, 1854 Ingleside Terrace NW, will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at
the S.H. Hines funeral home, 2901 14th St, NW. Burial will be in Herndon VA. Mrs. Herrell had been in
ill health since she suffered a shoulder injury in a fall in her home five months ago. She was a native of
Saratoga Springs NY but moved to Fairfax County VA, in her childhood. For many years her father,
Orsanas Ferris, operated a brickyard at Fairfax Courthouse. Mrs. Herrell’s husband, John A. Herrell, a
farmer, near Herndon VA, died about 54 years ago; Mrs. Herrell had been a resident of the District for
about 40 years and had lived about 32 years at the Ingleside Terrace address. She was a member of the
Calvary Methodist Church. She is survived by two children, Mrs. Lillian A. Morris and Charles Harvey

years old when her father died and died January 21, 1978; buried with her husband at the Chestnut Grove
Cemetery, Herndon, Fairfax, VA. Because of hard times after her father’s death, she was doing domestic
work by the age of 13; eventually she started waitressing. She became a very independent young woman
for her time. One day on the way to the bank, a man told her that if she would put 50 cents in a savings
account each week, one day she would have quite a nice little nest egg. She thought about this, and it
made sense to her, so she put this plan into action. She worked as a waitress in several restaurants in
Washington, D.C., helping to support her mother. They were living together in various parts of the city in
rooming houses according to the old city directories. Sometime in her late 20's, she had the opportunity to
purchase a restaurant of her own, and she did. She married, 1916, when she was 30 years old, Chester
William Morris born April 21, 1917 and is still living in 2000. He was originally from Pennsylvania and
came to DC to be the superintendent of the Washington Branch of the Autocar and Truck Company. After
they married Enola sold the restaurant and began to raise a family. When Will married Lillian, he also got
a live-in mother-in-law - Enola lived with them until she died. Born to them were:

the section corner. For many years the corners and school-house located there bore his name, and it is not now by any means
obsolete. In politics he was a Democrat, and this agreeing with the sentiment of the majority in the town he was frequently
called to official positions. He was one of the first Justices of the peace, and held the office for a period of nine years, being reelected in 1839 and in 1843. He was also overseer of the poor for a number of years. About fourteen years ago he sold his farm
and moved to Fenton. Five or six years later, having unfortunately lost his property, he went to Ingham County, where he is

When the war broke out in 1861, he was commissioned as chaplain in the 8th Regiment, Conn.
Volunteers, and was connected with the Burnside expedition into North Carolina, being actively engaged
in the battles of Roanoke Island and Newbern. Constant exposure for weeks brought on an attack of
typhoid fever, and he came home in the spring of 1862. Immediately after his recovery he presented the
cause of the Chaplain's aid Commission in this State; and it was while engaged in this work, that he was
invited to become the Pastor of the Center Congregational Church in Meriden, Conn., where he was
installed October 22, 1862; having been previously ordained by Bishop Simpson in the Methodist Church.
Mr. Woolley was brought up in the Congregational Church under the pastorate of Dr. N. Hewitt, but was

township schools, and for several winters was under the tutorship of the Rev. Graves; being a very
studious turn of mind, he added to his limited school advantages a general fund of information gleaned
from an extended reading of books, magazines, and the best papers. In 1870 he became connected with
the Cleveland Herald and in 1873 was advanced to the position of traveling agent of the paper. The year
following he became a staff correspondent, and in that position made extended tours, his travels in one
year taking him into nearly a score of states. When the temperance movement began, he was delegated his
paper to report it, and for over 3 months this was his exclusive duty. When he married Helen, he gave up
journalism and they located to Aurora Station OH and John began farming, but in 1880, upon the
reorganization of the editorial staff of the Herald, he again became connected with the editorial force of
that paper, with special assignment to its agricultural department. The same year, he became dairy editor
of the Ohio Farmer, and for years his writings for that journal over the pseudonym of “Sam”, were widely
read. When Secretary Chamberlain, of Columbus, organized the lecture course known as “Farmers’
Institutes”, John was early assigned to a prominent place as a special lecturer upon dairy and kindred
subjects, and during the winters of 1882-83 and 1884, he visited nearly every part of the State in that
capacity. He wrote articles for the New York Tribune, Rural New Yorker, County Gentleman, Coleman’s
Rural, Prairie Farmer, etc. When the Herald folded in 1885, John accepted a position on the editoral staff
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer; apparently no offspring

by Rev Ferris in Cherokee Co IA as per ‘Net
Cherokee County Biographical History - 1889, pp 424, 425:
REV. WALTER L. FERRIS, the present pastor of the Congregational Church of Cherokee, Iowa, born at Oneida, Knox
County, Illinois, July 31, 1852, and is a son of Lyman B. and Harriet A. (Newcomb) Ferris, who were among the early settlers
of that county. He was reared to farm life, and till the age of twenty-one years he worked for the neighboring farmers by the
day and month, attending the Oneida public schools in the winter. It was not until he had attained his majority that he entered
Wheaton College; there he found himself all but penniless, but he was filled with an intense desire to do something in the
world, and he set to work with a fixed determination to go through at all hazards. His hardy farm life here came in play; he
plowed and husked corn, trimmed hedges, sawed wood, did anything to earn the fifteen cents an hour paid the students for their
labor. In June 1879 he graduated in the regular classical course of this institution. The following eight months he supplied the
pulpit of the Congregational Church of Wataga, Illinois, teaching at the same time a district school near by called the "Hard
Scrabble School," and justly reputed one of the most difficult to control. In September 1880, Mr. Ferris began a course of
theological studies at Union Park Theological Seminary, Chicago. The first years of his seminary course he filled the pulpit of
the Congregational Church at Prospect Park, Illinois. Then for a year and a half he was pastor of the Northwest Branch of the
First Congregational Church of Chicago. All the while he was learning the practical with the theological. At the close of his
three years' seminary course he was called to the pastorate of the Congregational Church of Dundee, Illinois. This he
considered his first permanent work. Though his labors had been blessed for nearly four years he could now feel that at last the
time had come when he could devote all his time to his chosen calling. He spent over six years at Dundee, and the church was
blessed with several revivals; during this pastorate 130 united with the church, many of them being heads of families. In May
of 1889 Mr. Ferris received a call from the church in Cherokee, and began work here the first Sabbath in July 1889. He has
ever been a radical temperance worker; while at Dundee he was repeatedly called to speak to the various Prohibition clubs, and
other temperance organizations in the towns about him. He is a man of deepest sincerity and exceeding earnestness of purpose
and begins the work in his present field with very encouraging prospects. The congregations are large, the membership united;
the Sabbath-school is prosperous; the outlook seems propitious. Mr. Ferris was untied in marriage August 9, 1882, to Miss
Harriet McEwen, daughter of Ezra and Mary McEwen. Two children were born of this union, Millie and Hattie. Mrs. Ferris
was called from this earth September 26, 1887.

Notes for STANLEY KEITH FISCHER:
A letter he sent to his niece, Annette:
Oct. 13, 1997
Dear Annette,
529
April 2008 (3) Joseph
I was involved in a play, "Gilgamesh", when you wrote. I was playing an old man who had lived forever (type casting).
My name was "Utnapishtim". He made a lot of long speeches, and it was more than I could memorize. Too bad. I dropped
out. Then I had time to get together the stuff you asked for. Jack will likely send you most info about the Fischers, but I'll send
some of the info they gave us at the Blanchard family reunion. It was in 1985, the 125th anniversary of the founding of
Wheaton College (by your great great grandfather, Jonathan Blanchard. His wife was Mary Avery Bent Blanchard, and your
great grandmother Geraldine Blanchard Fischer was their 12th child.
A lot more is known about the Blanchards & Fischers than the Ferris's, but I'll fill you in on as much as I know. Your
father (and I) were equal quarters German (Fischer), Welsh (Ferris), English (Blanchard), and Scotch (Morrison). Rev. Walter
L. Ferris was a minister in Iowa. Not much is known about his 1st wife, except that she died shortly after having two
daughters, Millie & Harriette (Hattie). Rev. Ferris then married Margaret (Maggie) Morrison (my grandmother). They had 3
children, Jessie, Mabel (mother), and Donald. Millie & Hattie were half sisters of Jessie, Mabel, and Don.
Rev. Ferris was a Congregational minister in Cherokee, Iowa, when he received a call to minister to a Congregational
Church in Pekin, Illinois (close to Peoria). The whole family moved there, and Mother (Mabel Ferris) went to high school
there. Then Rev. Ferris received a call to become Chaplain of Wheaton College, and minister of Wheaton College
Congregational Church. He conducted chapel services in the college chapel every school day, then he held church services in
the same chapel on Sundays.
After Rev. Ferris passed away, his widow (our Grandmother) came to live with us for the rest of her life. She loved to
play cards with Lizzie, and when Roger came along he became a third for their card games of Flinch, Rook, and Rummy.
Mother's half sister Millie married Rev. Alvin Smith. He was a pastor at a church in Rogers Park, a suburb of Chicago.
They had one child, Mildred. She married Jim McMahon, and they still live in Florida. They had twins, who are grown &
married now. Rev. Alvin Smith became an Army Chaplain in World War II. He was sent to an Army base in Denver, but the
altitude didn't agree with him, and he died of a heart attack in Denver. Millie died shortly thereafter.
Millie's sister Hattie married Donald Coates, and they lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They had two children, Stanley &
Donald. I've often thought Mother got my name from Hattie. Hattie's husband died before his children grew up, and the
family moved to Wooster, Ohio. I went to school at Wooster College my Freshman year. I don't know what happened to Stan
& Don after that.
Mother's sister Jessie married David Haeger, who owned the second largest pottery in the U.S. They lived in Aurora,
Illinois, about 15 miles from Wheaton. Uncle Dave's pottery factory was in Dundee, a short way from Aurora. Dave & Jessie
had 2 children, Bob & Helen (Honey). The stock market crash of 1929 hit the pottery factory of Uncle Dave hard (as it did
most businesses). The company went bankrupt, and Uncle Dave lost everything. He had to give up his house in Aurora, and
the family moved to an apartment house in Hyde Park, South Chicago. Uncle Dave became the manager there, and they
struggled through the depression. The Haeger Pottery reorganized and began production again, but without Uncle Dave. He
was quite bitter. He & Jessie divorced in the late 1930's, and Dave died shortly afterwards. Aunt Jessie died about 5 years
after that. Bob & I were very good friends (still are), and I used to visit him for 2 weeks in Hyde Park every summer. We used
to collect autographs together - our prize - CONNIE MACK. Dick was a good friend of Helen (Honey). Bob & Honey came
to visit us summertimes at our home on Lake Geneva. Bob got a job working for Sam Langdon, who had the only insurance
company in Wheaton. Bob was a straight A student all the way through school, and he picked right up on the insurance
business. He moved up from helper to partner, and when Sam Langdon died, Bob took over the business. He was sole owner
of a large insurance company. I've always thought that somewhere, Uncle Dave is very proud his son had become the
successful businessman that he once was. Bob married Twinks Sweeney, a girl I used to go with. She lived just down the
street from our house out on Jewel Road. Bob & Twinks met at a bridge party I had at our house. They have 2 boys, and one
of them took over the insurance business. Honey married Tom Angell, and they lived in Wheaton most of their married life.
They had 3 girls and a boy. Tom passed away a couple of years ago, and Honey lives in Florida. She was a longtime librarian
at Wheaton Library. She still visits there.
Don Ferris was Mother's brother. By the way, I'm pretty sure all of Rev. Ferris's 5 children graduated from Wheaton
College. Don married a Texas girl named Fay, while he had a job in Texas. He was always overweight (see his picture), and
he died of a heart attack in his early forties. They had no children. Don was a typical fat person - always joking & jolly. He
had a wonderful personality, and Mother says he was the most popular guy in Wheaton College. I used to have a picture of
famous football player Red Grange. It was inscribed, "To Don Ferris - the greatest bull-shipper in the world." I left that picture
in Denver when I moved to Hawaii, along with my autograph from Connie Mack. Wish I had them back.
That's about all I know of the Ferris family. As far as I know, nobody had bothered to research the Ferris's, as they did the
Fischers & Blanchards.
There's one item I left out. Rev. Walter L. Ferris had one sister, Dr. Mary Ferris (see picture). She never married, and
when she retired she lived with a retired school teacher, Miss Brereton. After Miss Brereton died, Aunt Mary came to live with
us for awhile, out on Jewel Road. There she took Grandma Ferris's place in the card game with Roger & Lizzie.
Becky keeps herself busy every day working in the yard & garden. She also sews a lot, and helps Maria with her
homework. She started reading to Maria when she was still a baby, and Maria is still a bookworm. She devoured 240 books
during summer vacation. She's just starting out in 3rd grade. She's always been #1 in her class, and she loves school (I loved

only recess). Hope all is going well for you, Ray, and family. Say hello, and give my best wishes to Ray. I still think of him
as that Marine who came to visit you at Christmastime.

Stan

Stuckey born November 14, 1858, PA and died January 16, 1921 Lorimore, Union, IA; both buried there

company and Rebecca was near a doctor and close to old friends. In 1905, Henry was appointed
postmaster of Lorimore and held that position until 1908 when he retired because Rebecca suffered a
crippling stroke. After Rebecca’s death, Henry sold the house in Lorimor and lived for a time with each of
his daughters. Henry appreciated education even though he had not gone beyond high school. He was well

have been told that at my birth my family was worth about five million dollars in various properties, such
as oil, mining, real estate, and a ten thousand acre ranch. But all this was lost in stock market crash of
1929. Neverthe less, I was fortunate to grow up with marvelous parents, an interesting assortment of aunts
and uncles, and two sets of remarkable grandparents. My heritage from my fathers side were stirring tales
of adverturous forebears..and a house full of fascinating paintings and sculpture that had somehow
survived the crash. From my mothers side was a devoted grandmother who knew art and literature..and a
grandfather who was a master-builder of pipe organs. He could play many instruments, and as a six year
old I can recall him playing Bach from memory in his vast and empty organ factory. These things made
me aware that true wealth comes from human ability and character. When I was seven, circumstances put
me into an orphan’s home where I remained for two years. In that place I was subjected to the most brutal
treatment imaginable (believe this), but I survived with my essential spirit unbroken. So I entered into the
world with great questions about human behavior and human destiny. The forces of art within me saved
my life.” See Internet for other info. He married Barbara {maiden name unk} and born to them was:

transportation these tours catered to those who desired only the best in off-the-beaten path adventures.
Many of these events opened new paths for others to follow, many have never been repeated, many can

NEVER be repeated. In addition to my personal endeavours in the group tour field I have enjoyed 22
years service with THE PULLMAN COMPANY (former operators of America’s sleeping car system) in
road, yard, commissary and stores departments. 10 years service with the old LOS ANGELES
RAILWAY MOTOR COACH DIVISION, as a student instructor and dispatcher, and a stint as a
supervisor with SANTA FE TRAILWAYS rounds out a rather full career in the field of passenger
transportation. Further, the writer is an accomplished motion picture photographer and is well versed in
public relations and advertising. All brochures necessary to the successful conclusion of the events
sponsored were produced by the writer.” “Memories of a Pullman Conductor: innumerable trips to New
Orleans via Southern Pacific’s work-horse The Argonaut; Troops trains galore from Fort McArthur (San

It’s a small world – note from Merrily, granddaughter of Walter, noting the connection with the Knox
County Ferris’.
”I grew up in Carson City, no direct line from the early Ferris settlers. My "Ferris" mother was from
Portland. I was born in Reno because during WWII private aviation was restricted within 200 miles of
the West Coast. My dad was managing 3 airports in Calif. when the war broke out. He ended up in Reno
around 1943 after spending a year up in Northern Calif. (Beckworth) fighting fires. He dropped supplies
to the fire fighters. These fires were started by Japanese hot air, "explosive" balloons which descended on
our forests. That information came out after my father passed away; he didn't know how those fires were
started, but he had plenty of fires that season up in the Trinity Range. The rest of the War he was chief
pilot of a Navy flight training program in Ely, Nevada (on the East). He and my mother married in
1936. So she spent the war years in Reno, as a weather station person at the Reno Airport. She drew
weather charts and made predictions, sending up the weather balloons and so forth. My sister and I were
born after the war ended, in 1949 and 1950. So we were born in Reno and moved to Carson City in 1960,
when I turned 10. My father started a flight training school in the Carson Valley - Agricultural Aviation
Academy, located at the Minden Airport. So if you connect the dots with the research on the Carson
Valley Ranchers...the Dangberg Family in particular, there is a relationship between the flight School and
the Dangberg family. They needed their alfalfa crops sprayed for aphids, and my father (who was one of
the first 50 crop dusters in the U.S.) did this for them when he first started the Academy. In return, the
Dangberg "okayed" the use of their large fields for aerial application training. In other words, the
542
April 2008 (3) Joseph
students and instructors were permitted to train off the Dangberg property, which was the largest ranch in
the Carson Valley. The Academy became the largest flight training school in the world during the 1960's
and 1970's. Students came from all over the world to attend. But my father always had a very good
relationship with the Dangberg family. In fact, my first horse was from the Dangberg Ranch, an old mare
who was a driving horse for the Ruth Dangberg. We purchased her from the Achords...Ruth's married
name. The mare's name was Rene. (pronounced Reanie). As we know, horses go way back in our family
tree... and continue to flow in our veins. Then there is another link that I had not realized... my roommate
in college was Hazel Rabe. Her mother was Martha Schultz Rabe, also mentioned in this
documention...the Schulz name. This was also a large land holding between Carson City and Lake Tahoe.
Interesting as it sounds... Carson City (located in Eagle Valley) and the Carson Valley, the valley just to
the South, was home to me for many years. I passed the Ferris Mansion on my way to school, and never
thought anything of it. Doug and I were married in Genoa - in the Carson Valley, the oldest town in
Nevada, historically known as Morman Station. Our reception was in the second oldest structure in the
State, now occupied by the Pink House Restaurant. That ceremony took place 20 years ago and the
Supreme Court Justice of the time, Judge Mobray presided. My dad taught his sons to fly. My first job
after receiving a bachelor's degree at University of Nevada, Reno, was for the Carson River Basin Council
of Governments. That agency studied the entire Carson River Basin, where George Washington Gale
Ferris studied the water wheel on the Carson River at Cradlebaugh Bridge, his early child hood memories
that resulted in his concept of a ride on a wheel.”

its activities. Besides her husband, she is survived by two sons and two daughters, Rev. E.E. [Elmer Ellsworth]
Ferris of LaCrosse; Rev. George H. Ferris of New Haven, Conn; Mrs. C. K. Avery of Merrill, and Mrs. A. H.

Ferris of New Haven, Conn. will arrive tomorrow morning. After the funeral: The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. H. C. Miller. The casket was covered with flowers, showing in a measure, something of the love and
esteem in which Mrs. Ferris was held by her many friends.
On Tuesday December 9, 1913, this was written about George H. Ferris: George H. Ferris who has been ill for
some weeks and who went to Chicago last week is reported to be getting along nicely. He stood the trip to Chicago
well and is now able to be dressed and up most of the day. Mr. Ferris, who is 79 years old has made his home in
Fond du Lac County since he was 15 years of age and has lived in this city for the past 26 years. For the past
several years he has made his home at the Dewey house on East Second Street. He now makes his home with his
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Adams at 5524 Cornell Avenue, Chicago. Another daughter, Mrs. C. K. Avery returned to
Chicago today after being here to pack up her father's good. His obituary appeared in the Daily Commonwealth
[FDL, WI] on Thursday, December 30, 1915: George H. Ferris, one of the well known pioneer residents of Fond du
Lac who took a great deal of interest and pride in the doing of the pioneer Fond du Lac people, died at 6 a.m. this
morning in Chicago where he has lived the past two years. Mr. Ferris has been in poor health for some time and a
telegram today announcing his death was not altogether unexpected by friends who have continued in intimate
friendship with him. Mr. Ferris was a prominent member of the Baptist Church, a member of the Wisconsin
assembly in 1887, and for many years was active in support of the republican party, having taken active part for
years in the conduct of local campaigns. He was deputy oil inspector for several years and on retiring from that
work went to Chicago to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. A. H. Adams. Mr. Ferris born in St. George,
Vermont in 1834 and came to his oft requested claim that he was one of the really pioneer residents of Fond du Lac.
Mr. Ferris kept a store in Lamartine for a good many years. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Adams and Mrs.
C. K. Avery of Chicago; two sons, Rev. George H. Ferris, Philadelphia and Elmer Ferris, East Orange, New Jersey.
The body is to be brought to this city Saturday for burial services. Arrangements for the funeral and burial will be
announced in more complete form later. Will arrive in this city at 12:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon from Chicago and
will be taken immediately to the Baptist Church for funeral services. Burial will be taken to the Lamartine
Cemetery.

Confederate civilian in May 1861 after he removed a Confederate flag from a hotel in Alexandria VA.]
“Jerry Was a Real Boy in Seven Mile Creek – I born in a small village called Seven Mile Creek, located
in the township of Lamartine County of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. And I lived right there in Seven Mile
Creek until I was fourteen, experiencing the many adventures that small boys then encountered. In after
years my two children, Helen and Frederick, clamored for stories of my boyhood days, for they lived in a
city, and the things that I had done in Seven Mile Creek seemed curious and fascinating. Still later, my
grandchildren demanded the same stories. And to them, those other days when there were no telephones
or automobiles were even more strange. When at the age of seventy, I retired from my University
teaching, my children urged me to write down the stories of my boyhood days and thus preserve them. I
finally yielded, and so it was that I, a grandfather, seventy-five years of age, began my first book for boys
and girls about Jerry Foster, who is really myself. Often as I went along with Jerry toward his goal of
owning a drum, I closed my eyes and saw before me Seven Mile Creek, that village just past its pioneer
days. And I remembered my friends, the games we played and our band. All the adventures in Jerry of
Seven Mile Creek actually occurred, and I have told them as accurately as I could after a lapse of sixtythree years. And I found my task so enjoyable that when I finished the last chapter, I did so reluctantly.
Very soon I began another story which will carry Jerry through his Academy days.” {Thanks to the

the name of Jabez. To be consistent then, if these are his kids, then his birth date is definitely wrong,
considering the birth dates of the kids. Mead places the offspring with Joseph (3.4.3), which is where I
have them listed, right or wrong, for now.]

First Lieutenant in Captain Samuel Keeler’s Company, May, 1776. Sylvanus was stationed during the
greater part of the summer and early fall of 1776 at Bergen Heights (now Jersey City), and in October of
that year was ordered up the river to the vicinity of Fort Lee. In November, most of the regiment,
including Lieutenant Mead’s Company was sent across the river to assist in the defence of Fort
Washington, which on the sixteenth day of November 1776, was captured with its entire garrison among
whom was Sylvanus. He was afterwards exchanged and promoted to Captain of a company of rangers
raised by order of the General Assembly at the May Session, 1777. On the fourth day of August 1777, by
order of the Governor and the Council, the company of rangers raised in the Town of Greenwich,
commanded by Captain Sylvanus Mead, both officers and men, were discharged and returned to the
companies to which they belonged. At the annual town meeting held on the fourteenth day of December
1778, Captain Sylvanus Mead was chosen one of the Committee of Safety and also Barrackmaster.
Sylvanus was constantly hounded by the ‘cowboys’ and they finally, during the early part of 1780, traced
him to the old Ralph Peck place at Mianus and one of them knocked at the door. He called out from
within “who’s there?” when one of them answered by firing through the door. The ball struck Sylvanus,
wounding him fatally, and he died the following day. He married June 2, 1763 Sybil Wood (8RKG-RH)

duties for a period of thirty days because, "he has had the Bilious Remittent fever followed by a diarrhea

minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Haverstraw. They did not have any children. Fannie
applied for and received a pension at the rate of $20.00 a month (#200,242). After Samuel's death, she
lived in Stamford, CT and in Chicago, at 117 South Pauline St and in 1912 her address was Rue Scribe
11, Paris, France. In 1920, she resided at Fairfield IL. Her pension was raised to $50.00 a month. Fannie
died February 10, 1927, while living at 5610 Dorchester Ave., Chicago IL. There was a Samuel P. Ferris

of the Civil War, participated in a parade for the unveiling of a monument erected to the memory of the
Soldiers and Sailors of the Civil War, October 22, 1890. Apparently no offspring.
WRITTEN BY LIEUTENANT-COLONEL W. T. BATCHELLER, LATE OF THE
TWENTY-EIGHTH CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEERS.
THE Twenty-eighth was the last Connecticut regiment organized under the call for nine months
volunteers. It was recruited in the Fourth Congressional District, and was
composed of only eight companies: five companies from Fairfield County and three companies from
Litchfield County. Samuel P. Ferris of Stamford, a graduate of West Point, was commissioned Colonel,
holding the office during the entire service of the regiment, and was a great favorite with the men. The
Twenty-eighth rendezvoused about September 15, 1862, at New Haven, and was in tents and barracks at
Camp Terry about two months. November 15th the regiment was mustered into the service of the United
States, and three days later took leave of New Haven and Connecticut by boat. On the next day,
November 19th, the regiment went into camp at Centerville, on Long Island, for ten days only, as it broke
camp November 29th, and six companies went on board steamer "Che Kiang," with a portion of the
Twenty-third Connecticut, under command of Colonel Holmes. The two companies not on the "Che
Kiang" were sent by steamer, and joined the regiment after many disagreeable experiences. The "Che
Kiang" sailed from New York on the 3d of December, 1862, and had a very rough passage, encountering
a terrible storm off Hatteras, but reached Ship Island safely on the 12th. The regiment remained only long
enough to recover from sea-sickness, and then re-embarked and sailed from Ship Island December 17th.
On December 19th it landed at Camp Parapet at Carrollton, La., but remained there only for a short time,
leaving for Pensacola, Fla., on the 20th, and arriving there on the 22d. At Pensacola the Twenty-eighth
made a long and pleasant stay. The various companies were quartered in houses abandoned by the owners
when the Confederates evacuated the place. Drill and guard duties occupied much of the time, but the
work was just about enough for health, and the salubrious winter climate added to make the sojourn of the
regiment here memorable, and this the most pleasant of any of its stopping-places. Expeditions into the
interior and along the coast were occasionally made, serving to break the monotony of camp and guard
duty, and once in a while the cry of "Steamer coming!" would cause the boys to hurry to the housetops in
order to catch a glimpse of the welcome visitor; but too often the cry was only raised by some practical
joker. When the steamer came with the mail there was a busy time, reading the "news from home," and,
until the steamer's departure, writing to friends and loved ones. Pensacola was evacuated March 20th, and
the Twenty-eighth moved to Barrancas and into tents. Camp duties were about the same here as at
Pensacola, an occasional expedition serving to give variety to camp life. May 10th the regiment left
Barrancas by steamer, and on the 12th landed at Brashear City, La., and left there without regret on May
23d, arriving at Springfield Landing May 25th, and at Port Hudson on May 26th. While at this place, and
579
April 2008 (3) Joseph
until the surrender was made by the Confederates, the Twenty-eighth was continually under fire, and
assisted in all the various siege operations and in the trenches. In the assault on June 14th it furnished one
hundred of the two hundred and fifty men for the storming party or "forlorn hope." Its loss in killed and
wounded was severe in this engagement. At the surrender the Twenty-eighth moved inside the
fortifications and remained at this place until its departure for home on August 7th. Several died on the
way home, having become enfeebled by the climate and by disease previous to embarking for
Connecticut. The route home was via Mississippi River to Cairo, and thence by rail. On August 28th the
survivors were mustered out at New Haven.

He was exchanged and resigned 14 March 1781. He graduated from Yale in 1765. The oldest son of
Abigail and Samuel bought an old house called the Peck Place at Mianus (Riverside) CT, later owned by

The Stamford Historian — Volume I, Number I, March 1954:
By Lisetta Neukam Higgins
This issue of the Stamford Historian is dedicated to Schuyler Merritt. Accordingly, it is fitting that we present a brief biography
of Mr. Merritt. He had such a full life, and engaged in so many activities that it is difficult to be brief and encyclopedic at the
same time. He was a long-time member of the Stamford Historical Society, and in 1947 was elected Honorary President. His
death, in his 100th year, was a great loss to the Society and to the community at large.

Men may come and men may go, but likely no Stamford citizen, past, present or future will ever surpass the myriad
facets which scintillate in the life story of the late Schuyler Merritt--congressman, lawyer, industrialist, banker, an outstanding
Christian, civic leader and enthusiastic chairman of the commission of the Merritt Parkway--named in his honor.
Those facets shine and penetrate practically every phase of Stamford life. They send beams throughout Connecticut,
reach into his native state, New York, and thence on to the nation's capital and achieve international influence during his long
years in Congress, where he served on the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee.
Schuyler Merritt loved people and they loved him. Because he had faith in mankind, folks had faith in him. Because
of this combination plus his keen analysis of problems, local, state and national and his ability to understand the other fellow's
point of view, Schuyler Merritt's influence will live as long as there is a Stamford. He was an example of what true Christianity
creates in a man and what that man can do when he lives his faith.
He was born in New York City at Fifth Avenue and Twenty-First Street, December 16, 1853. He died April 1, 1953,
eight months before his 100thbirthday. At the age of two, his parents, Matthew F. and Maria Shaw Merritt, brought him to
Stamford. They made their home on the broad tree-shaded Atlantic street on the site now occupied by Albrecht's, the Federal
Bakery and several other business establishments. He lived there until his marriage when he moved to Bedford Street, almost
opposite the Betsy Barnum house, now the Stamford Historical Society headquarters--“The Little Red House on Bedford
Street.”
Matthew Merritt was a prominent figure in social and political life. He helped establish the First National Bank and
was one of early members of the Republican Party in Connecticut.
Young Schuyler was graduated from a private school in Stamford, 1869, and from Yale University in 1873. In 1876
he received his LLB from Columbia University law school. In 1935 his alma mater, Yale, conferred on him the honorary
degree of LLD. When he was 90 years old, he attended his 70th class reunion. His was the honor of being the oldest Yale
alumnus at the time of his death.
For seventy years he was associated with Stamford's most important industry, Yale & Towne Manufacturing
Company. He began in a legal capacity in 1877. In 1878 he was elected secretary. Later he was named a member of the board
of directors and became successively general manager, treasurer, vice president and chairman of the board of directors. He
resigned from the board several years before his death.
How Mr. Merritt's personality lives through the years because of “little things” as well as important ones is
graphically shown in the words of a Stamford woman now in her seventies. She said, “Schuyler Merritt was a wonderful man,
much loved by all. I'll never forget the first time I met him. I was just a high school girl. My Mother took me to the Stamford
National Bank. As we entered Mr. Merritt greeted us with a smile. Mother introduced us. President Merritt bowed graciously
and took my hand and courteously welcomed us. Through the years, no matter how busy he might be, he always remembered
me and bowed and smiled in that charming manner as he did to others. He was truly a gracious, Christian gentleman. I always
cherish the memory that it was he, who made our commencement address at Stamford High School now Burdick Junior High
School. He presented our diplomas. It made us extra proud for he had done so much to make that high school a reality. He was
an inspiration to all who knew him. Likely many of us became better citizens because of that commencement address, which he
gave from his heart to our class. We felt his sincerity, his fine character. He was a really wonderful man. No one can say too
many fine things about him.”
At 90 he went daily to his office in the First Stamford National Bank and Trust Company where he served as director
and chairman of the board of directors. His banking career began in 1902 when he was first elected an officer of the Stamford
National Bank. In 1905 he was elected president. When the Stamford National Bank and the First National Bank merged under
the name of the First Stamford National Bank in 1919 Mr. Merritt was elected the first president. He served two years and then
became chairman of the board of directors. He was honorary chairman at the time of his death.
From 1916, when he helped nominate Charles Evans Hughes for president of the United States on the Republican
ticket, Schuyler Merritt was nationally in the news. Originally he agreed to run for Congress as a war emergency at a special
election in 1917 to succeed Ebenezer J. Hill of Norwalk, who died in office. For seven successive terms he was re-elected.
Then in 1930 he was defeated by a Democrat, William L. Tierney of Greenwich. But two years later Mr. Merritt was the only
Republican elected to Congress running against a Democratic incumbent in the Roosevelt landslide. Congressman Merritt
served in Congress
under five presidents, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
For 20 years his constituents returned him to Washington. Finally in 1938 at 83, Congressman Merritt agreed to permit his
name to appear on the ticket on condition that he make no campaign. His phenomenal record during the Roosevelt landslide
made his party overconfident and Alfred N. Philips, who campaigned vigorously on the Democratic ticket, was elected.
During the score of years he served in Congress, besides his activities as a member of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce committee, he made his influence felt in major legislation. He voted for tax reduction, farm relief, tariff and
immigration restriction. His ardent campaign work fostering legislation to protect United States industries was outstanding.
During World War II when discussing tariff and protection of American business, Mr. Merritt said that during post-war
planning it might be that free trade possibly would be established in a gradual way, although he still believed in protecting
American interests in every possible way.

Two outstanding services Schuyler Merritt contributed to his State were serving on the constitutional committee when
he helped re-write the Connecticut State Constitution when he was 51, and his service on the Merritt Parkway.
Retired to private life he gave his talent to many activities, but served as Chairman of the Commission supervising the
construction of Connecticut's famous multi-million dollar Merritt Parkway named to honor him. Only one other Connecticut
man, former Governor Wilbur M. Cross, ever had a state parkway named for him. Mr. Merritt lived to see the first stretch of
this parkway, reaching from New York's Westchester County to the Housatonic River, completed.
His Stamford activities were legion. Among them he spent many years directing Ferguson Library activities, when he
served as president of the board of directors. As a member of the school committee for 15 years (most of the time as chairman)
he was instrumental in developing Stamford High School and in raising the standards of the grade schools. In 1910 he became
a member of the State Board of Education, serving for seven years, or until he left for Congressional service in 1917. For many
years he served on the Stamford Board of Appropriations and Apportionments.
He helped organize the Stamford Board of Trade, the parent of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce. For many years
he was honorary chairman of the Stamford
Community Chest, president of the Stamford Children's Home and served as a member of the Board of the Family Welfare
Society, and was a generous member of the Red Cross. To him fell the task of preparing appeals to the public for emergency
funds when National Red Cross headquarters assigned Stamford's chapter quota. Many will remember his eloquent appeals in
print and vocally for the Japanese earthquake refugees, the Mississippi flood and other national emergencies.
Of all Mr. Merritt's activities, perhaps the one closest to his heart and appreciated by many persons, was his long
cherished years of service as warden and vestryman at St. John's Episcopal church to which his parents belonged and where
they took him in his formative years. One St. John's parish member of long standing when speaking of his vestry service said “I
can see him going down the church aisle Sundays. He was such a handsome man, his smile, that kind wonderful smile and his
beautiful blue eyes and gracious manner live long in our memories. He had twinkling blue eyes and imagine he never wore
glasses even in his 90th year, except for reading. Oh, Schuyler Merritt was a darling--and our first citizen.”
His church influence was felt not only in St. John's church but also in the formative years of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church, Springdale, which was a mission of St. John's for 75 years. Thus it was under the guidance of St. John's vestry during
many of the years Mr. Merritt served so unselfishly.
A distinguished, though seldom mentioned activity, was his important connection with the Gas and Electric Company,
which he served as vice president, when it meant much to the development of Stamford's place in the industrial world.
His great love of outdoors and the fact he did not smoke may be the secret of his long, healthy, useful life. For many
years daily before breakfast he rode horseback with Henry R. Towne on mounts he selected from his own stables at his home
on Noroton Hill, where the Merritts moved when they left the Bedford street home. He was also an ardent yachtsman and
enjoyed yachting with Mrs. Merritt's brother, Fred Hoyt, a noted yachtsman. Mr. Merritt's best known boat was “The
Kathleen.” Golf however was his favorite outdoor activity. At 90 he still played when at home or during the winter at Lake
Wales, Florida. He also enjoyed his rose and vegetable gardens, especially in his retirement years.
He was married October 2, 1879 to the former Miss Frances Hoyt of an old Stamford family. They had two daughters,
Mrs. William B. Dalton (Louise) of Ocean Drive, East Shippan Point and Dr. Katharine Krom Merritt, pediatrician at Babies'
Hospital, New York, who both followed their famous father's footsteps, serving humanity in many ways. Mrs. Merritt died
August 2, 1943.
Besides creating the many facets in his life affecting humanity, Schuyler Merritt found time, energy and desire to
belong to many organizations, among them: The Suburban Club, Woodway Country Club, Wee Burn Golf Club, Stamford
Historical Society locally, and to The University Club of New York, The Yale Club of New York and Yale Alumni
Association and Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C., and a golf club in Lake Wales, Florida.
Truly one can say in closing, as in beginning this story of the life of Schuyler Merritt, “men may come and men may
go” but, where can one find such a man, who served so graciously, so long so faithfully and who received so much of love and
honor in his home town?

Upon leaving his native state, he went to Upper Sandusky OH, where he remained one year, and in the
spring of 1854, went to Princeton. In Princeton, the first business he was engaged in was buying and
selling real estate, at which he was quite successful. He was still engaged in real estate when the Civil
War broke out and became a member of Company I., 12th Illinois Infantry Regiment, commanded by his
cousin Frank. He served ninety days and attempted to reenlist but was rejected on account of his partially
crippled hand. Returning home after being discharged, Henry resumed his real estate business until 1864.

Company and under the name of B. S. Ferris & Company, continued the business. After a period of three

and the First National Bank of Princeton was organized and duly incorporated. Because of health, Henry
disposed of his bank stock, 1875 and went to Russell County KS, where he invested in a flock of 10,000

4, 2002: Robert C. Ferris, 74, a postwar entrepreneur whose company made television components and
parts for automobiles and electronic games for more than 40 years, died of respiratory failure Wednesday,
January 2, in Bethesda Hospital in Florida. A jovial man with an open smile, he was perfectly suited to a
business that stressed personal contact and a good-natured view of the components in which it dealt –
often inventions that Mr. Ferris designed himself. He was a very practical person and had a great sense of
how things fit together and worked, said his stepson John Needham. The components were simple but
ubiquitous inventions, Needham said, such as the lights that illuminated dials on TV sets, car trunk lights
and the miniature red lights in smoke alarms. His parts subsequently were incorporated into entire product
lines, including Delco radios, General Motors cars and light socket assemblies for Dirt Devil vacuum
cleaners. In the 1990s, Mr. Ferris donated land he bought in rural Putnam County to a waterfowl habitat
restoration project. He also supported other wildlife restoration efforts along the Illinois River. When it
came to wildlife, he was first of all enchanted by it, said Donald Hey, senior VP of the Wetlands
Initiative, an Illinois conservation group. On his own property, he created prairies, created a lake system. I
often would visit him on the farm and see him sitting by the lake, watching the dragonflies and geese. He
just had a lifelong dedication to preservation of those ecosystems. Mr. Ferris born in Princeton IL, and
634
April 2008 (3) Joseph
attended the U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He left and served as a Navy corpsman at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Center in the early 1950s. He later started his own company in Chicago –
Christiana Industries – to make electrical parts for the television and automobile industries. In 1972 he
married the former Martha Singleton, publicity director for Bonwit Teller department stores in Chicago.
Mr. Ferris operated Christiana Industries for four decades, retiring in 1994 after selling it to Lake Forestbased Waud Capital Partners, LLC. (Surprise, Surprise – Christiana Industries closed its operations in
Vernon Hills IL 2007 and moved to Mexico!) It gave him a lot of creative opportunities, and he met a lot
of wonderful people, said his wife. He just had a very fertile brain. He was always coming up with
different ways to use his own products. That attribute was typified in the 1970s when Mr. Ferris, an avid
curler and golfer, noticed the ragtag collection of ropes and signs used at golf courses to direct golf cart
drivers. Mr. Ferris started a side business called Coursesigns that manufactured signs that subsequently
appeared at thousands of golf courses. He was a former president of the Exmoor Country Club in
Highland Park, a governor of Shoreacres Club and a director of the Evans Scholars Foundation, which
provides college scholarships to golf caddies. Besides his wife and stepson, survivors include a
stepdaughter, Kathryn Needham Hodges; four granddaughters and three nephews. A memorial service
will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Kenilworth Union Church, 211, Kenilworth Ave, Kenilworth (Cook,
IL); both buried Oakland Cemetery, Princeton IL (Photo)
From The Beta Upsilon Booster: Tribute to Bob Ferris ‘49
Some brothers can still see Bob Ferris ’49, a respected, successful businessman in jacket and tie, stooping to clean up the yard
at the Delta Tau Delta chapter house. The stories of his devotion are the stuff of Delt legend. At a time when few alumni even
wanted to be associated with the chapter, in the wake of some bad national publicity, Bob Ferris stuck with the undergraduates.
Some say, Bob Ferris and John Gleeson brought the chapter back from the edge of doom. On Wednesday, January 2, 2002,
Robert C. Ferris, entrepreneurial business leader and environmental preservationist, passed away from a respiratory illness at
the age of 74 in Bethesda Hospital in Florida.
Among Delt brothers, Bob’s greatest contribution to preservation may well be his role in preserving our “habitat” at
the University of Illinois. Every chapter has within its alumni ranks individuals which stand out in the history of the chapter,
said Ken File, executive vice president of the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation. For Beta-Upsilon there’s no man who
could be of greater importance to the chapter than Bob Ferris. Through the darkest times of the chapter he stood by this group
and helped point them in the direction which has led to their rise to one of the best chapters at the University of Illinois. I don’t
think they would have made it without him and John Gleeson.
Brothers who lived through that dark time remember Bob well. I don’t know what drove him, said David Robertson,
’82. He was a great friend in a difficult time. We reorganized the fraternity; he was one of the big supporters. The TV got
stolen and he showed up with a new TV, which made a huge difference and was a great morale booster. In the early years, he
visited quite a lot and was a great source of help and support and inspiration.
Chapter Advisor Matt Wilson ’89 said, I view Bob as the guy who made it his personal mission to see that Delt
succeeded and, even as an undergrad that was inspiring to me to see this guy who cared so deeply about the place. That had a
major impact on the way I felt about the fraternity. When you heard he was coming to campus, it was like your Dad was
coming to campus. You wanted everything to be right for him.
The lasting legacy is that he made a major gift two years ago to the project that moved our fraternity into its new
house. It was a gift of $150,000, Brother Wilson said. And it illustrated to us how serious Bob was about doing this right. This
was his crowning achievement. He passed away happy with where his fraternity stood. We are sad about his passing but feel he
must have been happy with what he had done to provide for future Delts. Ken File agreed, the most recent success of their
capital fund drive would never have been possible without Bob’s visionary leadership. He’ll be missed not only by Illinois
Delts but by Delts all over the country.
Carl Vogel knew Brother Ferris when he was an undergraduate, and saw that same servant-leader attitude 50 years
ago. He died whatever the heck he could do. He was always at the end of the parade – just a hell of a loyal guy, Vogel said.
You wish you had 50 fraternity brothers like him – just being 110 percent Delt from his pledge days forward, and very loyal.
He was a natural talent, Brother Vogel added. If he saw a need, he would just jump in and do it. He enjoyed that more than
school. The fraternity brothers were very important to him. He didn’t understand anybody being a lukewarm member. Bob did
everything in the world around the fraternity. Our cook quit around finals week- probably her rebellion against us – and Bob
took over the cooking for 50-60 people. He didn’t ask anybody. He just did it. He was a Delt through and through – from when
he pledged until he left.
He didn’t graduate. He’d go to school for six or eight weeks and get bored, Vogel said. One year he hitchhiked to
Seattle. I don’t know what he did up there. And then he hitchhiked down to Rancho Santa Fe, California. When the hell have
you been, and he said, I just left Ranch Santa Fe a few days ago, but the trucks were a little slow getting me back here.

His nickname was “Apples”, Brother Vogel said. His mother would send crates of apples to the house. He kept them
in the closet, but it wasn’t locked, and a case of apples didn’t last very long. He never knew exactly who the beneficiaries were.
So he became “Apples” Ferris.
One fall he came back to school, and he’s got a late ‘30s model Ford, Vogel recalled. During the summer he had
rolled it. He explained that he was going like a bat out of hell down a country road and couldn’t stop it, and so he went into a
ditch and he rolled it. He didn’t want to waste the car so he got someone with an acetylene torch to cut the roof off, and he had
a convertible. He was so proud of his new convertible. It if rained, he said, It’s going to get wet inside, but it will dry out.
Bob Ferris was born in Princeton, Illinois. He served as a Navy corpsman at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in
the early 1950s. He is survived by his wife, Martha Ferris, a stepson, stepdaughter, four granddaughters, and three nephews.

Regiment and was wounded; married 1st lady unknown; married 2d December 2, 1784 Anne Smith
[daughter of Charles and Elizabeth (Knapp) Smith] born November 23, 1746 Greenwich and died 1844.
Jonah was buried in a small cemetery near his home on Erskine Road. His remains were removed to
Long Ridge Cemetery, where a marker has been placed. A question arises as to whether Jonah was
married previous to his marriage to Anne. The 1790 census, when Jonah had been married to Anne only
6 years, showed Jonah the head of a household of 2 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 4 females. It seems
more probable, however, that another family was living in his household. Anne applied for and received
Jonah's pension (W25572) in 1840. His will named, as his only heir, his daughter Mary Ann Hoyt. Born

positions, and was a farmer; in his day, probably the most influential man in the settlement. They
resided at Greenwich and he was a Congregationalist. (Jim - one source says Ruth was a daughter of

now). Both buried in the Old Greenwich Cemetery (Tomac Cemetery) (tombstone photo). Born to

the Dutchess Co where he lived in the Great Nine Partners area. At the beginning of the Revolutionary
War, John was in the militia. In 1772, he removed to Great Nine Partners, in that part now Stanford,
Dutchess County NY. On December 26, 1776, he enlisted for three years under Captain Thomas Lee
in the Eighth Company of the Fifth Regiment of the New York Line of which Colonel Lewis Dubois
was the Commander. On February 10, 1777, he transferred to the Second Battalion of the New York
troops under Colonel Wempell. He apparently fought in the battles of White Plains, Long Island, Fort
Washington, Fort Plains and Saghabor. It appears that he was in the Army at the capture of Fort
Montgomery and he was taken prisoner during the battle. He continued in the service until January
1782. In 1792, he moved to the west of the Hudson River, in Greene County NY. In February 1795,
he moved his family to Sherburne, Chenango County NY where he settled and remained until his
death. His occupation, through life, was that of a farmer, being principally engaged in felling the
forest and in the clearing up and cultivation of his land. He was a man of superior natural talents, great
firmness and energy, one of the enterprising valuable pioneers in the settlement of New York State.

CHARLES L. LEBARRON, PIONEER EARLY TRIALS AND HARDSHIPS
Among the few men still living in Shenandoah whose lives were identified with the earliest history of this community
Charles Lathrop LeBarron, present justice of the peace, holds a prominent place in that history, having farmed in this
vicinity long before Shenandoah was thought of, and afterwards owned land now occupied as our beautiful Rose Hill
Cemetery. He was the pioneer liveryman in Shenandoah and was one of the first stock buyers. His life has been a checkered
one, with its ups and downs and filled all the way along with incidents of historical and romantic interest, many of them
tragic. Mr. LeBarron was born at Hoosic Falls, Rensseaer County, New York, November 27, 1835. The following spring
his father, Lathrop LeBarron and his grandfather decided to "go west" and traveled across country to Cattaraugus County in
western New York where they bought land and began to clear off the forest. They were thirty-one miles from Buffalo. The
mother and baby Charles followed them a few months later. In July Charles' father was killed by a tree, which fell on him.
It was crooked and in falling it went in a different direction from what was expected, striking another tree in its decent and
throwing the trunk around and upon him, killing him instantly. Later Mrs. LeBarron married her husband's brother and by
him had two more children, Julia M. and Joseph O. The first named is a resident of Shenandoah and widow of the late
Moses Barce. Joseph resides in Cushing, Ida County, this state. By a remarkable coincidence Mrs. LeBarron's second
husband and brother of the first was killed in a similar way by the falling of a tree within eighty rods of where the first was
killed. A large limb broke from a falling tree and flying back struck him on the side so that he died in a few hours. Charles
was then ten years of age. His mother continued to reside in that locality and he remained with her until he was within three
days of eleven years old when he left home and from that time continued to make his own living. He went to work first for
a rich farmer named Ralph Johnson and lived with him eighteen months, working part of the time on the farm and part of
the time in the curry-house and tannery owned by the same man. Johnson was quick tempered and had considerable trouble
with his men, but young LeBarron would take nothing off from him and "sassed back" whenever he felt like it. After
leaving Johnson he continued to work in that locality, going to school a few weeks each winter and working the balance of
the time. For two or three years he worked for a man named Joshua Markham who had a shingle machine and Charles
manipulated that part of the time. Then he worked for a fine religious man named Dan Brown. LeBarron was taken sick
there and Brown took care of him very kindly and waited for him to recover, but he did not get so he could work much and
finally gave up and concluded to go west to see that country. In the spring of 1854 he landed in Kankakee, Illinois. An aunt
named Eliza Berzee lived in Kankakee. (Her daughter taught kindergarten school in Shenandoah last year.) Markham for
who LeBarron had worked in New York had moved to Illinois and owned a farm twelve miles southwest of Kankakee and
LeBarron went to work for him, doing light work at first. By harvest time he was made a full hand. In the fall he got the
ague and had it good and hard but he stayed there that year and next until fall. During that time he made a visit to New
York and brought his mother to Illinois, where she met and married Samuel Chapman, and then in the fall of 1855 Charles
went to work for Chapman. During the years of his mother's widowhood Charles had contributed to her support and also
spent money doctoring his sister's eyes. After his mother was married, Charles married his stepsister, Martha Chapman,
676
April 2008 (3) Joseph
August 3, 1856. October 23, that year he and his bride started with a team of oxen and an old wagon and drove across the
country and reached his wife's brother's home on Tarkio Creek the day before Charles was twenty-one years of age. The
brother was Ralph Chapman, well known in Page County, who had located on Tarkio a year previous. C. L. left his wife at
the Chapman home and he and Ralph came over to Fischer's Grove, afterwards called Manti, and rented a house of J.F.
Durfey on the John McComb hill, but they did not like it and only stayed a few days. Charles then went to Edmund Fisher
and rented of him a room occupying a space between two log cabins on what was afterwards the John Meyers place.
LeBarron and his wife had only been there three days when a terrible snowstorm set in, more severe than any that had taken
place since. It was the biggest snow LeBarron ever saw in Iowa, four feet deep on a level. The wolves that winter killed
about all the deer in this country. LeBarron worked for Fisher that winter hauling logs and wood. The village was cut off
for weeks from all communication with the outside world. The stage route from Clarinda to Sydney was closed for a month.
When Phil Banks finally got through with the mail it took him two days to reach Manti. The following February LeBarron
and his wife moved to Hickory Grove on Buck Creek in Lincoln Township and he hired out to his brother-in-law, Ralph
Chapman, and that summer split rails, built fence and broke up sod. He bought a land warrant of Chapman for $1.20 per
acre, saving five cents per acre by the transaction as government land was sold for $1.25 per acre. He also pre-empted some
land. He proved up and paid for his land 123 11/100 acres that is now known as the Barnhill farm in Grant Township, land
now worth $125.00 per acre, 100 times what it cost then. But he was unable to build on it or to get the breaking done so he
could farm it. That fall he moved to Manti again and spent the winter of 1857-8 in a little cabin belonging to Nicholas
Taylor on what afterwards became the Call farm. In the spring of '58 he rented some land of Almond Sherman and put in a
crop. After the crop was in LeBarron and wife and their baby, Asa, and Ralph Chapman all drove back to Illinois and
LeBarron went on to New York and stayed three months. They spent the following winter in Illinois and then drove back to
Manti where LeBarron farmed some land for Fisher and lived in a house belonging to D. S. Brown where J. M. Sinclair
now resides. Here their second child, Lydia, was born. During the fall of 1859 they bought a log house in Manti and lived
in it that winter, but the next spring they built a cabin on their own land, tearing the other to pieces and using it to build a
stable and some cribs. That summer LeBarron got a little breaking done on his own land and raised some wheat but also
rented land of Mr. Fisher. He continued to rent of Fisher in 1861, and in 1862 he rented of a Missourian named Rudisill
who got into disrepute as a rebel, and LeBarron got all of the crop that year. Stirring events came on about that time and
LeBarron remembers a band of soldiers following some horse raiders past his place; also the soldiers bringing a rebel past
his place and hanging him somewhere near McKissick's Grove. LeBarron became a member of the Manti Home Guard, a
squad of ten men. The government furnished them guns and ammunition but they had to furnish their own horses and went
to Sydney to drill. They made two trips to the Missouri line in search of "the enemy" but did not have any fighting. Dr.
Whiting, S. S. Wilcox, Louis Whiting and Jed Anderson were other members of this same home guard. There was
considerable rebel sentiment in the vicinity of Sydney at that time but it did not manifest itself in any overt acts and
LeBarron was not called upon to show his valor under fire. In the fall of 1862 he drove across the country to Illinois for a
visit and was taken sick shortly after he started on the return trip, and then he retraced his steps to the home of his stepfather
where he underwent a long siege of sickness. Then the stepfather died and soon after his mother died. LeBarron and his
wife remained there and settled up the business of the estate and sold the wife's interest in it and finally returned to Manti
about the close of the war. His brother and sister came with them. LeBarron went onto his own farm and remained there
several years improving it and getting on his feet financially. He built a good house and got along nicely. When the railroad
came through in 1870 he and Lyman Fisher bought a machine and cut hay and sold it to the graders at a good price. When
the town started LeBarron owned forty acres of land part of which is now inside the corporation and is used for the
cemetery and brickyard. He sold it to the town company for $800.00. In the spring of 1871 he built a livery barn where the
seed house of J. B. Armstrong now stands, and engaged in the livery business, the first liveryman in Shenandoah. The barn
was built by Covertson & Dillingham, their first contract in Shenandoah. It was a regular old fashioned eastern barn, well
built with 8x8 sill and 6x6 posts, all well braced, as you will find in most of the barns built forty years ago. LeBarron had a
monopoly of the business then and made some money; made more than the liverymen of today make. He got four dollars a
day for rigs and a dollar a day for taking care of a team; fifty cents for a feed. He ran the business over one year alone and
then sold half interest to Charles Cox. One day Charles Cox made him an offer and he took it up. He was unloading a load
of hay at the time and he got right off the load with half of it there and turned the business over to Cox. Sometime after this,
Cox sold out to Capt. McGogy and while the barn was being moved to another site it was burned. After he sold his livery
business LeBarron engaged in the stock shipping business and continued at it for five and one-half years. Benj. Carey and
John X. Griffith were in the business at that time, also. Times were against the shippers and the Grange movement came up
when the farmers concluded to dispose of the middle-man, and in common with hundreds of others, LeBarron failed. He
lost his money and his farm and was practically cleaned out of everything. W. E. Webster got the farm, but he permitted
LeBarron to live on it for a time. Then he came to town and got a job as city Marshall and served for five or six years. One
year he ran a dray. In 1885 he went to Rawlins County, Kansas, and took up a homestead of 160 acres and remained there
677
April 2008 (3) Joseph
until he got a deed for it. He also took a timber claim but lost that through some defect in the papers. In 1890 he returned to
Shenandoah to the same house he left. He traded his Kansas land to Jeff Williams for 15 1/2 acres just southwest of town
which he still owns. Of his history since his return most of our readers are familiar. The first year he worked at any odd job
he could get. The second year he was put in as street commissioner and Marshall, then out a year and in again. He was
elected as constable for two or three terms and then as justice of the peace and is now serving his third term as justice very
acceptably. Mr. LeBarron was the first constable of Grant Township and has served as constable in all 28 or 29 years. He
was deputy sheriff five years when Isaac Damewood was Sheriff. He was the third man to take the degree of Masonry in
Shenandoah shortly after the organization of Tri-Centum Lodge in 1871, Thomas Warren and O. A. Rogers going in just
ahead of him. Mr. and Mrs. LeBarron have had nine children, all of them living but one. Asa was born in Manti in 1857,
Lydia on the Sinclair place in 1859, and died when nineteen years old. C. B. was worn on Barnhill farm in this township
February 5, 1862, and it is thought he is the oldest native of Grant Township, having lived here from his birth, over 41
years. The other children are Etta M. McConnoughey, Ed C., Eugene S., Mattie, Will and Sam. The greater portion of the
life of C. L. LeBarron has been spent in a struggle with poverty and misfortune or disaster, but through it all he never lost
or gave up the struggle. He always kept going. He was industrious and honest, a good citizen through it all. He is of sturdy
independence, frugal habits, of good judgement, well adapted to the position of justice of the peace which he holds. He is
usually of jovial disposition, quick to appreciate a good joke or story. At the same time he has many of the qualities of the
old stoic philosophers, accepting calmly whatever the fates of life have in store for him from year to year, whether the
fortune be good or ill. While his life has not been marked by the great successes in fame or fortune that we might write of
some others, it has been a life of peaceful industry and resignation.

city, being there on a temporary visit.” “Gentle and Winning in Manner, was John Peck, in youth, the
active Pastor of Caznovia. He touched the tenderer chords in the heart with a persuasive power, which
often effected more than the most masterly reasonings and the loftiest bursts of eloquence. Simple and
unpretending, grave and earnest, there was a heavenly-mindedness in conversation and prayer, an
unaffected incerity in his discourses, and a weeping compassion in his appeals, which carried
conviction to the conscience and disarmed all opposition. He was wise in winning souls, and revivals
were continually around him. Prudent in counsel, and eminently blessed as a peacemaker, there was no
man who ruled with greater power in the hearts of his breathen. Love was the element he breathed and
it was diffused all around him.” Born to them were:

his advantages for an early educated were limited to the common schools of the vicinity until he was
about 17 years of age; prior to this time, however, his eager desire for intellectual improvement and for
a liberal education induced him to devote many of his evenings and much of his few intervals of
leisure from farming occupations to the acquirement of general and classical knowledge, and thus, by
the aid of appropriate books and the occasional assistance of a neighboring classical scholar, he
became quite proficient in the Latin language, and commenced fitting for college in the autumn of

(3.10.1.2.1.8.4) PHILETUS B. PECK born November 29, 1809 Cazenovia, Madison, NY and died
there October 6, 1847 while visiting his parents. Early evincing great mental activity and ardent thirst
for knowledge, opportunity of preparation for a liberal education was afforded him at Hamilton
Academy NY, which, however, failing health eventually obliged him to forego, and the then engaged
for a considerable period in agricultural pursuits. He was married May 30, 1831 Nancy Morse of
Cazenovia. Soon after his marriage, he resolved to resume his studies and devote himself to the work
of the ministry. In the Spring of 1834 he entered Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution, now
Madison U.(Colgate), from which, having gone through the regular course, he graduated in August
1838. He was ordained in March 1839 and in June following settled as pastor of the Baptist Church in
Owego, Tioga County NY. After an uncommonly successful ministry at Owego, he died suddenly
while visiting his parents. He was an instructive and earnest preacher and an untiring and devoted
pastor, and distinguished for his benevolence, frankness, sound judgment, executive abilities and
decision of character. His widow was living at Owego in 1877. Born to them were:

lawyer, of Owego NY; they moved three or four years afterwards from Owego to St. Louis MO, where
her husband soon became a prominent lawyer/railroad attorney; believe this is same guy who the
community of Madill, Marshall, OK is named for; and born to them were:
A confusing entry here: New York Times, April 16, 1912: St Louis, Mo, April 15—Among the St.
Louis folk on the Titanic were Mrs. Edward Robert of 140 Lindell Avenue, her daughter, Miss
Georgette A. Madill, and her niece, Miss Elizabeth Allen. Mrs. Robert was formerly the wife of Judge
George A. Madill. Miss Madill, although but 15 years old, receives an annual allowance of $7,500 for

clothes and spending money by order of the Probate Court. Miss Allen is the daughter of the late
George Allen and went to Europe in January 1911. If this is the same George A Madill, apparently
Julia and he divorced, but Georgette must have been born when Julia was about 57y – doubt it! Maybe
Georgette was the dau of the below George Alexander Madill? From
The Bench and Bar of Missori Cities: George A Madill is a nativeof New York, and passed his early life at Utica, in that
state, receiving a liberal education. He pursued a course of legal studies in the Albany Law School, was admitted to the bar,
and in 1866, removing to Saint Louis, entered upon a professional career, which has in every sense proved eminently
successful. In 1870, at the urgent request of his professional brethren, who, irrespective of political preferences, petitioned
him, he accepted an election to the judgeship of the Saint Louis circuit, and continued on the bench until 1875, when he
resumed his practice as a member of the law firm of Krum and Madill. He afterward retired from his firm, and at present
(1884) conducts his business in his own name. He is also a member of the faculty of the Saint Louis Law School, his
special branch of teaching being the law of real property. As a lawyer, Judge Madill is at once thorough, scholarly, careful,
conscientious and successful. Possessing a legal mind of high order, clear, comprehensive and practical, and at the same
time being a man of fine executive ability, well versed in the intricacies of business and commercial affairs, and cool and
deliberate in his judgments, his legal opinions carry with them a weight and authority that never fail to command the
highest respect. Among his professional associates he is most highly esteemed for his manly and lawyer-like qualities. His
conduct of cases in court is marked by discretion, cleverness and precision, and in his arguments before court or jury he is
methodical, business-like and persuasive, never failing to impress his auditors with the sincereity of his convictions, and
always ready to support his legal propositios with the highest authorities. Such qualities, in an eminent degree, fitted him
for the honorable and responsible office of judge, and to them must be attributed the success which attended him to that
position. The business of his court was dispatched with promptness and accuracy, and justice was administered
intelligently, and according to law. His marvelous memory of adjudicated cases, and his methodically arranged knowledge
and critical analysis enabled him to discriminated and at an instant detect false analogies. Such was the working of his court
that it was a pleasure for a lawyer who knew his case, to appear before him. To young men he was always indulgent, and
cheerfully aided them with his counsels. At the same time he had no favorites, and no one ever accused him of discourteous
treatment. Upon his retirement from the bench he was tendered a banquet by the members of the Saint Louis bar, who there
gave expression to their regard for him in encomiums of praise. Jim – presume this is the same guy. 2007 – there is a

superior position as a scholar, and graduated in July 1841, receiving one of the highest honors of his
class. After leaving college, he taught a year in the Hamilton Academy, and subsequently pursued the
study of law until the Autumn of 1843, when he concluded to discontinue his legal studies and
prosecute a theological course, preparatory to his entrance on the Christian ministry. Having devoted a
year to the pre-requisite study of Hebrew and been duly licensed to preach, in August 1844 he entered
the Theological Institution at Hamilton NY, in the following October, where he took the regular course
of two years and graduated in October 1846. In the Summer of 1845 he had been appointed a tutor in
Hamilton College, and though the acceptance of the appointment was urgently requested by the
Faculty he respectfully declined it as precluding his immediate entrance on the duties of the ministry.
He married September 17, 1846 Cordelia C. Kendrick, of Hamilton. He preached in Lebanon NY for
several months prior to July 1847 when he commenced preaching to the church in Hamilton NY and
continued his labors there, with great acceptance until his death, October 4, 1847 at his parents home,
of the same malignant disease which a few hours afterward proved fatal to his brother; both having the
same funeral obsequies, and both being borne together to their last resting place. He naturally

Darby [son of Joseph & Anna (Grow)] born December 6, 1802 Homer, Cortland, NY and died
February 22, 1883 Cortland NY. The Cortland Standard, March 15, 1883: Obituary, Thomas Darby,
age 81, in Cortland Feb. 22, 1883 - "He born in this town, and when seventeen years of age, was
baptized together with a large number of young people by Elder Alfred Bennett, then pastor of the
Homer Baptist Church, located near the present fair grounds. He was one of the constituent members
of the Homer Cortland & McGrawville Juvenile society, nearly sixty years ago, and which is still
successful in operation today. In 1829 he married Miss Abigail Sumner and settled in the town of
Dryden (until 1867), uniting with the McLean Baptist Church of which he was for many years an
honored Deacon. Having lost his wife by death, in 1833, he married Miss Urana M. Peck, and after her
decease in 1867, he married Miss Harriet "Ida" Brown in 1868, by whom he was tenderly cared for
during his declining years. Sixteen years since he moved to this village (Cortlandville), of which he has
been a quiet respected citizen, and an esteemed member of the Baptist church. The last few years of his
life were years of infirmity and much suffering, and his death was not the unwelcome close of a long
and exemplary life. His funeral was attended February 24, services by Rev G. W. Putnam, his Pastor,
assisted by Rev G. F. Stark, a long-time honored friend.” >From the Will of Thomas Darby - Codicil obtained from the Cortland Co Courthouse. “Whereas I Thomas Darby of the town of Cortlandville,
Cortland County and State of New York have made my will in writing bearing date on the 31st day of
July 1873 in and by which I have given to my son Wayland D. Darby a fourth part of my estate with

(3.10.1.2.1.9.4.1) CORDELIA A. DARBY (twin) born July 10, 1834 McLean, Tompkins, NY and died
January 26, 1891 Cortland Co, NY; married June 15, 1850 in McLean NY, Warren Nye [son of Oliver,
Jr. & Esther (Wheeler)] born September 2, 1828 Virgil, Cortland Co and died July 07, 1902 Tompkins
Co NY. The Warren Nye family, consisting of Warren (30), Cordelia (25), Russell (7), E(A)lvena (5),
& Arthur (1) was listed as living in the Cortland County Index in 1860. (Esther is apparently listed as
Alvena, apparently her middle name, since she is shown again & Alvena is not, and there is no Alvena
in the cemetery listings for the family in either Cortland or McLean.) In 1865 census, Warren,
Cordelia, Esther E, Arthur E, Millard LW age 3.5, Melvin G.D. age 2.5, Freemont Grant aged 7
months are shown. In 1870, same members again shown, but Freemont Grant is called "Eddie", and on
a gravestone in 1879, we see Edwin F. has passed away at age 14 years old. I believe the listing as
Fremont Grant & "Eddie" both refer to Edwin Fremont Grant Nye, or Edwin F. Nye as the tombstone
lists him. In 1877, Cordelia A, is listed as (w of Warren) living at 17 Clayton Ave in the city of
Cortland City Directory. Mrs. C.A. Nye is shown again (1888-89) living at 17 1/2 Clayton Ave with
Lettie M. Nye, (who would be 14-15 at that time) student, living at 16 1/2 Clayton in the City of
Cortland directory in the 1888/89 city directory. The Cortland County Historical Society Information
shows Cordelia & Warren also listed as living in Virgil, South Cortland in the 1880 census in the town
of Virgil, with sons Millard, Melvin, & daughter Lettie, age 5. The 1889 City Directory lists Cordelia
living with Lettie M, with Warren shown in Virgil - again separately as residence in Virgil. There is
no explanation for the listing of separate residences after 1877, since Cordelia is listed seemingly
indicating she is wife or widow of Warren. Warren is listed as living in Virgil - not dead! However,
Jim Carrington, a descendant of Warren's brother German Millard Nye tells me "In the 1920s, I
believe, the old trolley still ran between Cortland and Preble --- a convenient way to commute to
work." Also, we found an entry from the Tully Newspaper "The Nye Boys are remodeling their house
in the swamp." We suspect that for some reason, the home farm might have become swampy, & the
Warren Nye's might have moved to Cortland, where Warren could commute by trolley to the farm. The
1892 State Census for Cortland County lists Warren age 65 living in Virgil, alone (Cordelia passed
away in 1891), & in 1900 he is listed as living in Virgil with Evaline. He remarried Evaline Victoria
Sanford Nov 26, 1893, after Cordelia's death. Interestingly enough, Warren is buried in the McLean
Baptist Cemetery with his sons Russell D, who died at age 8 in 1857, Emory D who died as a 1 1/2
year child in 1857, & Edwin F. who died at age 10 in 1875. His parents are buried there also. Cordelia
is buried in Cortland Rural Cemetery where her parents are buried, along with son Millard Sumner
L.W. Nye, & both his wife's Anna & Stella, & his daughter Jennie. Also buried in the Cortland
Cemetery are Warren & Cordelia's oldest daughter Esther Elvina Nye Johnson, widow of Wm. B.
Johnson. She was survived by brothers Millard S., Arthur E Nye of Oneonta, & sister Lettie
Crydenwise of Sparks, Georgia. Warren Nye is buried in the McLean Cemetery, as are his parents. His
sons Russell D. Nye, who died at age 8, Emory Nye who died at 1 1/2, and Edwin Fremont Nye are

(3.10.1.2.1.9.4.2) URANA A. DARBY (twin) born July 10, 1834 Cortland Co NY and died there
February 12, 1839; gravestone inscription on Urana A. Darby's grave is very hard to read. It reads she
"died (2) 4 yrs 6 months, 28 days." The date of death appears to be 2/12/1839. It could say she died at
4 years, 6 months, 28 days, or it could say she died at 2 yrs. 6 months 28 days. It is impossible to tell
whether or not she was 2 1/2 yrs. old or 4 1/2 yrs old at death in 1839 from the cemetery inscription.
The cemetery list from Cortland Co says she died 2/12/1838, however, if she was 4 yrs 6 mo., 28 days
old at this time, her birth date would be only 1 month after Thomas & Urana's wedding, which would
be very doubtful, since her father, a minister married them in a public ceremony announced in the
newspaper. So it appears the date of death must be 2/12/1839 as it appears on the stone. If she was 4
yrs, 6 months, or 8 months, she is a twin with sister Cordelia. That may be why there appears to be a
(2) inserted before her age of 4 yrs, 8 months, 28 days. It may have been to signify that she was part of
(2) or a twin. Cordelia & Urana are both names from a Shakespearian play, and they are dependent on
each other in the play. However, that is speculation. We are going to list them that way though as the
only birth information we have for Cordelia appears to be early 1834 from the census information. The
best interpretation upon observation of the gravestone is that Urana A. Darby was 4 yrs, 6 months, 28
days, she is a twin to Cordelia. Urana may have been born July 1836 instead of July 1834 though, per
the difficulty in reading the stone, which has been etched heavily by acid rain.
3.10.1.2.1.9.4.3) WAYLAND D. DARBY born May 03, 1835 Homer, Cortland, NY and died January
21, 1874 Clarksville, Butler, Iowa.
Clarksville Star, Jan 21, 1874, Clarksville, Iowa:
"Died Jan 21, 1847 at 10 o'clock A.M. at the home of his brother, Thomas, after severe sickness of
eight weeks, Wayland D. Darby aged 39 years. It is with saddest of feelings we chronicle the death of
our fellow citizen. Mr. Darby was born in Homer NY and remained in that State until about 15 years
ago, when he started out into the world on his search for a home and a fortune. He traveled for about
15 years, visiting every State in the Union, finally settling in this county about four years ago, with his
brother Thomas, and at once actively engaged in agriculture and stock. As a friend, Mr. Darby was true
and faithful; as a citizen he was esteemed and respected by all who knew him, as a businessman, he
was active, energetic and determined. For the past two years he has taken an active part in the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry and had, by his energy and good judgment, made his influence felt. Mr. Darby
was a man of good ability and good judgment, his extensive travels and knowledge of the world giving
him the advantage of much experience for a young man. In his death we have lost a good friend, the
community at large a good citizen, and society one of its ornaments. Wayland was a single man. He
was in great suffering during his sickness, but bore it with the greatest courage and did not yield to the
grim destroyer until he could not longer hold out. The remains, upon the urgent request of his father,
691

were conveyed to New York for internment (at the Cortland Rural Cemetery) accompanied by his
brother Thomas Darby."

OBITUARY: Cortland Democrat, March 23, 1916 DEATH OF NATHAN P. DARBY
"Word has been received here by relatives of Nathan P. Darby, announcing his death which occurred at
his home in Moravia Wednesday morning, at the age of 79 years, death resulting from a shock of
paralysis which he sustained on Thursday, the 16th. He is survived by his wife and a number of nieces
and nephews and was a cousin of the late Mrs. Harriet Chollar of this village. Mr. Darby spent the
greater part of his life near McLean, where he was a prosperous farmer. He had lived in Moravia for 29
years. Private funeral services will be held at the family home in Moravia Friday morning. The body
will be brought here for internment in McLean Old Baptist Church Cemetery."
From the "History of McLean Baptist Church": “It has been felt that this history should not be closed
without a word of appreciation for those who helped to make the worship of the house of God a
pleasant Service by the use of instrumental music. As far back as 1854 & 1855 Mr. & Mrs. James
Mineah brought their small melodeon in a democrat wagon, if the day was fine, and it was carried
upstairs to the singers seats, their daughter Susanna playing for the service. After the services of the
day were over, it was taken home again at night. This continued for about two years, then Deacon
Amos Hart, Susanna's grandfather, presented a $70.00 melodeon to the church. Miss Susanna Mineah
played it until her marriage and was a very regular attendant. She was succeeded by her sister, Martha
Mineah, who afterwards was Mrs. Nathan Darby. She played until the time of her death. She was
greatly missed. The church felt as if she could not be spared. Sarah Ronk took her place as organist and
played as long as her health permitted. These two were beautiful Christian characters, faithful unto
death!”
(3.10.1.2.1.9.4.5) THOMAS DEWIGHT DARBY born November 23, 1842 Cortland NY and died
August 30, 1900 Clarksville, Butler, Iowa; married March 21, 1865 in Cortlandville, Frances Elizabeth
Bement [dau of Julius & Sarah (Darling)] born April 5, 1845 Skaneatelas, Onondaga, NY and died
February 06, 1920 4 3/4 mile NW of Clarksville, Butler, Iowa; both buried Lynwood Cemetery,
Clarksville, Butler IA.
Just 1 year before Thomas Dewight Darby born, John Tyler became the 10th president, & Horace
Greeley established the New York Tribune. Those famous Horace Greeley words, "Go West, Young
Man, Go West", would undoubtedly be an influence in Thomas's life. Family History has written:
"Thomas was of average height; slender build, had hazel eyes, and always wore a full beard. He was a
Schoolmaster for a time in New York, as well as a farmer, & farmed in Iowa." In 1868, just a year
before Ulysses Grant was elected president, the first transcontinental railroad in the United States was
completed, & the National Woman Suffrage Association was formed, Thomas & Frances his wife,
"Came out to Iowa with his wife & baby, when baby Lucius was only 8 months old. They stopped for
a short time at Wisconsin on their way from New York, then moved out to the farm in Clarksville,
Iowa now owned by his Grandson, Mervin. Thomas was very well liked and friendly. He had asthma,
and always had a cough for years. Doctors had told him to smoke a pipe for relief! He was not well for
years before his death, and was kicked in the lungs by a horse, "Old Jack" before his death - died of a
lung hemorrhage". The Clarksville Star, Sept 6, 1900: "Thomas D. Darby born in Dryden, Tompkins
County, NY, Nov 23, 1842, and died at his home in Jackson Township, Butler County, Iowa, August
692
April 2008 (3) Joseph
30, 1900. On March 21, 1865 he married Miss Frances E. Bement and to them born one son, Lucius E.
Darby. The wife and the son both survive. In 1868 Mr. Darby and his family came to Clarksville and
shortly afterwards they took up their home on the farm in Jackson township where he passed away.
Funeral services were conducted from the home Friday afternoon. Rev. Van Loon delivering the
discourse in the presence of a large gathering of friends and neighbors. The deceased was a man of
uprightness and quietude - loved by his family and respected by his neighbors. He was a selfsacrificing and Christian man and his memory will long be cherished by those who knew him. His
health had been poor for many months and death came as a result of hemorrhage of the lungs." (Had
been kicked by a horse - "Old Jack" prior to his death, and apparently had internal injuries.)
The Darby Family History has recorded that Grandma Frances Bement was 5'6" tall, (tall for a women
in that era), and weighed about 160 pounds. She had brown hair, which began graying in her early 30's.
She was referred to as a beautiful woman. She called herself "Frank" in younger years as shown by the
marriage license in Cortlandville, in 1865 & land records in Dryden, New York. Frances was a
descendant of Samuel "The Puritan" Chapin through her Grandmother Betsey Hitchcock married to
John Bement. Betsey is a descendant of Luke Hitchcock, who is a descendant of Samuel Chapin.
Frances is related to the signer of the Declaration of Independence through her mother Sarah
Emmaline Darling, & through her mother's mother Frances Hart, daughter of Timothy & Sarah (second
cousins) Hart. We have a copy of Timothy & Sarah's marriage license from Hopewell, Hunterdon,
New Jersey, & Timothy's gravestone in the McLean Baptist Cemetery notes proudly "Born in New
Jersey." Timothy & Sarah's mutual ancestor, John Hart married to Mary Hunt is the father of Joseph
Hart (Joseph II, Timothy) & he is the father of John Hart, (Richard, Sarah), & he is the father of
Captain Edward Hart, father of John Hart who signed the Declaration of Independence. That would
mean both Sarah & Timothy's Fathers (Joseph II & Richard) are cousins to John Hart the signer of the
Declaration, making Frances a cousin, 4 times removed of the signer, John Hart. (Sarah & Timothy are
once removed, Frances Hart is #2, Sarah Darling is #3, & Frances Elizabeth Bement is 4 times
removed from the cousin relationship between our Hart families & the signer’s families.)Born to them
was:

1943 Clarksville, IA; married December 4, 1888 in Clarksville IA, Mary Amy Scott [dau of Isaac &
Sarah (Philippi)] born July 26, 1867 in Clarksville, Iowa, and died there November 08, 1942.Lucius
was exceptionally tall for a man in the late 1800's - 6'1" or 6'2" tall. His son Clarence Darby always
said he could find his Dad in a crowd, just look for the man who was about a head taller than everyone
else. He was large framed, well built, and always carried himself very erect - had a notable posture. He
had a light complexion, gray eyes; auburn hair & red beard, and was bald by the time he was 40 years
old. He had a deep booming voice & hearty laugh, and loved to sing - the same could be said about his
son Clarence's voice, laugh & love of singing. Lucius could take music and whistle out a new tune
from it. He moved to Clarksville from New York with his parents when he was just 8 months old. He
had diabetes 7-8 years before his death, as did his son Clarence.
The Clarksville Star - July 6, 1943 L.E. DARBY FUNERAL SERVICE HELD SUNDAY - FARMED
IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS! “Funeral services for L.E. Darby, 75, who died at his
farm home July 1, 1943, were held here Sunday afternoon. Mr. Darby born at Portland, New York,
March 26, 1868. He came to Clarksville with his parents when only eight months of age. Shortly after
arriving in the community the family purchased the Darby farm West of town and the place continued
to be his home until his death last Thursday morning. On December 4, 1888, Mr. Darby was married to
Amy Scott of Clarksville. She preceded him in death eight months ago. Two Daughters, Mrs. Frances
Cross and Mrs. Celia Ritzman also preceded him. Surviving his death are four sons and five daughters.

(Names them). There are 24 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. When a young man, Mr. Darby
affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren church and continued a member of that faith throughout his life.
Services were conducted from the Hammond & Martin Funeral Home and burial was in Lynwood
Cemetery (Photo)." Mary "Amy" Scott was the daughter of Isaac Scott & Sarah Philippi. Sarah
Philippi's family had moved to Clarksville, Iowa about 1858, before Isaac & Sarah married, so Amy &
her brother's & sisters were all born in Clarksville, Iowa. The Clarksville Star - November 8, 1942:
"Mrs. L. E. Darby, a lifelong resident of the community, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Carlyle
Miller, on Sunday, November 8, 1942. She had been in poor health for several years. Mary Amy Scott,
a daughter of Isaac and Sarah Scott, born in Clarksville on July 20, 1867 and died at the age of 75
years, 3 months, and 12 days. On December 4, 1888, she was married to Lucius E. Darby, also of
Clarksville. They continued to reside in this community, following the occupation of farming until a
year ago in September when they retired from the farm and came to Clarksville to make their home
with a daughter Mrs. Carlyle Miller and family. Mr. and Mrs. Darby were the parents of 11 children.
Two daughters, Mrs. Charles Cross of Nashua, and Mrs. Glen Ritzman of Dumont, preceded her in
death. The husband, four sons and five daughters survive. The children are Clarence of Greene, Edwin
of Freeport, Illinois, Lyle of Dayton, Ohio, Mervin of Clarksville, Lilith Darby and Mrs. Carlyle Miller
of Clarksville, Mrs. Clarence White of Seattle, Washington, Mrs. Charles Oakley of Durant,, Illinois
and Mrs. Arthur Froberg of Rockford Illinois. Two sisters also survive, Mrs. Nellie Bartlemay of
Boring Oregon, and Mrs. Lilas Judd of Los Angeles, Calif. Included in Mrs. Darby's descendants are
24 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the
Hammond and Martin Funeral Home and interment was in Lynwood Cemetery." Born to them were:

and died November 1987, (103y?) Gwynn Oak, Maryland
Raymond Darby writes: "We also heard about a "Marie" Cross, as children, probably Charlie's sister,
but, she might have been Charlie's Dad Fred's sister. Charlie was born near Gramma Sutter's farm in
Fremont Twp., just a quarter mile west and a half-mile south. When we were kids, there was a large
piece of tin, probably metal roofing that had blown onto Gramma Sutter's farm near the back border.
They always said that had blown there in the 1919 "Cyclone", from Marie Cross' farm buildings. There
was a picture in Katie Darby's collection, probably taken at the Pleasant Valley Church where the
Sutter's used to go, along with the Crosses, or possibly it was taken at the train station platform - hard
to tell in the photo. The photo shows Fred Cross, Charlie's Dad, in the middle, with denim jacket &
jeans. Next to him, Charlie's mother, & Charlie Cross. Rev. Van Loon also appears to be in the photo.
They may have been here to pick him up Rev. Van Loon, or see him off on a train? When they were in
Nashua we only knew Charlie's parents, farmers living close to Gramma Sutter's farm in Butler Co.
Charlie & Fannie & Family, lived at the end of the street that went by the Nashua Hall, and on the
other side lived Charlie's parents. Charlie & Fannie had an acreage and had a goat dairy, probably at
least 20 goats in their herd.”
(3.10.1.2.1.9.4.5.1.2) LILLITH MARY DARBY born June 7, 1892 Clarksville, Iowa and died there
August 1987. “Lillith was an outstanding teacher in the Clarksville area for many years. She was
honored with many outstanding educator awards & memorials from her students. She loved teaching,
and continued to be active in the lives of her students until she was past 90 years of age. Everyone who
knew her knew what a wonderful teacher she was & felt privileged to have had their family be a part of
her teaching career. Grandpa Clarence Darby told me that when she was a young woman she was very
pretty, & was sought after by many of the young men in the county, but Lillith always preferred to

teach rather than to marry & have her own children. He said she had many chances to marry, but chose
to remain single.”

born September 21, 1894, Plainfield, Bremer, Iowa and died May 29, 1990, People's Memorial
Hospital, Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa. “Grandma Katie Darby & Grandpa Clarence Darby
were truly two of the wonderful people! Grandpa took great delight in playing with his grandchildren.
He had a big, deep, booming, bass voice. He would walk out to the pasture with the grandchildren &
call the cows with that deep bass voice "Come Boss, Come Boss". He walked along singing hymns
everywhere he went in that deep bass voice. According to his grandchildren, one of the best thing he
used that big deep voice for was playing a game called "COME TO MY SHEEP PEN"! This game
involved Grandpa leaning back in his recliner, reading the newspaper, while you laughed, & screamed
with excitement, & ran away to hide! When you were all done hiding, he would shout "COME TO MY
SHEEP PEN! Are you behind the bed? And you had to answer! He would guess where you were, &
then of course you would have to move, running out of the hiding place as you yelled "No, I'm not
there!" & as you ran in front of his chair for a new hiding place, he'd reach to grab you! It was just so
exciting! This could go on for hours, although sometimes Grandpa would lean back in his recliner &
doze off while you were hiding, if it went on to long, so it probably was not nearly as exciting for him
as it was for the grandchildren! It was so much fun!!! And what kid could forget: "Itsey, Bitsey,
Tiggity, Fig, Alla Balla Dominig! Itsiee, Bitsiee Dominitsee, Alla, Balla, Boo, with the "Boo" being a
little jab in the tummy! Or "The little Bumblebee comes out of the barn, & he buzzes, & buzzes
around"...then a little jab in the tummy when you were least expecting that bee to get you! Grandpa
followed the "Dennis the Menace" comic strips in the paper & always had the newest funny thing
Dennis had done that day to tell about! Grandson Ken remembers going in Grandpa's garage and just
looking around in amazement at all those old license plates lining the walls inside of his garage! And
he tells this cute story about Grandpa remembering what a great sense of humor Grandpa had!
"Grandpa and Grandma would come visit us and Grandpa would help out. We had a few horses for a
while. One fall when they were visiting Grandpa was feeding them for us. He had just thrown some
feed over the fence into their area, turned around, bent over, and Prince (A young Colt), decided that
Grandpas' overalls looked like a nice dessert! He proceeded to take a bit out of Grandpas' back pocket.
A neighbor was also over and happened to see what happened, had quite a laugh, and many more good
times with this incident, all on poor Grandpa's misfortune. Well this particular neighbor was known for
liking to kid people and of course he never let Grandpa forget this. (The grandchildren also helped
Grandpa not to forget his friendly horse either!!) Grandpas' good nature and attitude was more then
happy to go along with our kidding." Grandma & Grandpa's lives spanned the time of the greatest
technological improvements the world has ever seen. They were both born in the last part of a century
when their parents and grandparents pioneered in Butler County, Iowa from New York, and Germany,
and used horsepower only to do their farm work. They lived with the early automobile, enjoyed the
"new, improved models", went through lots of innovations in farm equipment, and kitchen gadgets,
and towards the end of their life, flew to visit their family by jet airplane, and watched a man walk on
the moon, & took it all in stride, enjoying every minute of it! The telephone that first hung on the wall
in their parlor was a huge oak box with the earphone on a cord and the mouthpiece in the wall unit.
They were on a party line, of course, and answered only "2 shorts and a long" ring. (Sometimes the
695
April 2008 (3) Joseph
grandchildren would answer other rings, though, and oh, what fun it was to eavesdrop !) ROCKFORD

CLARENCE A. DARBY - Services for Clarence A. Darby, 89, who died at Schoitz Medical Center,

Friends may call after 7 P.M. today and on Friday at the funeral home, where the family will receive
friends from 6 to 8 P.M. Friday."
“The thing I remember most about Grandma were her kind loving ways. She loved little animals, and
birds, and could whistle a perfect imitation to many birdcalls. She saved oatmeal from breakfast every
day to feed the little barn cats on the back porch, and although the grandchildren might have been
trying unsuccessfully to catch those little cats for many hours, they would come right out when it was
oatmeal time and she called! She loved flowers, and had beautiful flower gardens each year, full of tall
rows of "glads", holly hocks, always a sunflower or two, along the fence, and rows and rows of other
beautiful flowers, in addition to garden produce. She especially liked pansy's she said "because they
have little faces! She remembered every birthday of her growing family and always picked cards with
the prettiest flowers on them, to write a special "Happy Birthday" in her very small, precise letters. Her
favorite color was blue, and she loved bluebirds, blue wallpaper, blue prints for dresses, just loved blue
- it matched her beautiful blue eyes. She had very long wavy hair, but it was always tied in a French
roll so you never knew how long it was, unless you happened to be lucky enough to be watching when
she was putting it up in the morning or taking it down for the night! She always wore dresses, never,
ever, pants. She had a favorite apron pattern from "The Farmer's Wife" magazine, for a quilt block
apron that pinned at the top. She always made pretty aprons to wear everyday over her dresses, when
working around the house. She really liked things to look pretty, and made everything in the home so
pretty, and cozy. Grandson Ken says when he thinks of Grandma he remembers her sitting in her own
easy chair or couch knitting, quilting, or crocheting - working on things to make her home pretty!
Grandma could cook for the whole family on Sunday, big dinners for lots of people at one time, and
everything turned out perfect - cooked from scratch - pies, cakes, chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes
and wonderful gravy, homemade pickles, and sauerkraut, rhubarb sauce, gooseberry jam, homemade
jellies, the best cookies you've ever eaten, with the raisins soaked for a while to make them plumper
and juicier, baked right into the cookies; walnuts baked right into the melted chocolate chips in the
chocolate chip cookies. At Christmas time, little perfect white cookie squares with pictures imprinted
on them, hard as a rock, but good for dunking, the licorice (anise) taste that only Grandma's Springerle
Cookies could bring were to be made! Grandma Katie's mother, Anna "Mary" Scheidecker Sutter, was
called "Little Grandma", because of her tiny, tiny size. She was born in Baden, Baden, Germany in
1871 & came to the United States with her family in 1883. She never learned to speak English very
well, but was a wonderful cook like her daughter. She also made those wonderful Springerle's every
Christmas for many years, and so her brother's wife, Aunt Martha Scheidecker. Grandma & her
mother, "Little Grandma", spoke in German to each other. Grandson Ken remembers having fun
listening to them talk and trying just to learn a word or two from them. When Grandma's five children
were youngsters, son Raymond remembers Grandma Katie Darby, his mother, making five loaves of
bread every night, and leaving the bread dough to rise on the dining room table all night. Sometimes, if
it was a little to warm, she would come out in the morning to find the dough had risen so much and it
was all over the dining room table! Down in Grandma & Grandpa's basement, the walls were lined
696
April 2008 (3) Joseph
with homemade shelves of home canned tomatoes, beets, corn, peas, pickles of all different kinds,
applesauce, & more homemade jams & jellies than you could imagine! If you stayed overnight at
Grandma & Grandpa's house, at breakfast time you could pick a Bible verse out of the package kept on
the kitchen table. That was the "Word for the day"! Then Grandpa always included each on of the
children & each one of the grandchildren in a prayer. He & Grandma said their goal was to remember
each one in prayer daily, by name. Many times, I remember hearing Grandpa pray for "Sandy, Lynda,
Susie, Russie, Kenny, Ritchie, Kathy, Dougie & little Tricia Jean". In the afternoon or evening you
would go upstairs and crawl into a big old fashioned bed with an iron headboard, & snuggle into one of
the big featherbeds under a big, thick, homemade quilt. Grandma's quilts were all homemade, very
pretty, & you could pick out your favorite materials from dresses, tea towels, and other familiar things,
while you warmed up in no time! In the "little bedroom" upstairs, there was just a single bed, & the
walls were lined with orange crate shelves, full of old issues of Readers' Digest, and National
Geographic! What better way to spend an afternoon or evening, than snuggled up on a feather bed,
with a home-made quilt over your legs, reading "Life in These United States" from many decades
before you were even thought of! When you got tired of reading and just kind of drifted off to sleep,
you would first look around at the pretty wallpaper, with inspirational pictures & motto's - "Make new
friends, But keep the old, Those are silver, These are gold!" - or scripture verses. What better way to
wake up than when you've drifted off to sleep contemplating "Jesus Never Fails!" Born to them were 4
sons and a daughter. (Family members do not want info on live members published so follow-on

OF THE KEILLORS, CRANDALLS, HUNTS, & LOUCKS" "Olive was always pretty, gracious and
industrious. She was well liked by all that knew her and was a true friend. Her younger sister Mary
Lou was a constant companion, as they became a little older. Olive took music lessons at McPhail
School of Music and got her teaching degree, which she was able to use to good advantage as she
taught many students over a period of many years. After finishing High School at Central High School
in Minneapolis and Business College, she got a job at "Butler Brothers", a wholesale furniture house in
Minneapolis. In 1941 Olive was married to Mervin Darby who had purchased the Darby Farm from his
fathers' estate. Olive did well at the many duties of a good and faithful farm wife. She became the
mother of two bright children, 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Olive and Mervin have
always been most hospitable and continue to be so in their "retirement" home, which is close to their
farm, which they still own and lease out. They both have been such a help in the local meeting there,
and helped organize the annual Bible Conference starting in 1949. It continues on as the largest Bible
conference in the Fellowship. "

History of Isabella County, Michigan, 1884, page 472:
Albert A. Shaver, dealer in furniture, undertaker, and Treasurer of Clare County, resides at Clare, near the Isabella County
line. He was born in Steuben Co., N. Y., Sept. 17, 1840, the son of Lewis and Sarah (Chapman) Shaver, natives of New
England and of English-German descent. The father died in Gratiot County, this State, in 1879; the mother resides with Mr.
Shaver at Clare. The subject of this sketch came with his parents to Emerson Township, Gratiot Co., Mich., in 1856, and
lived there until Sept. 13, 1862. On that date he enlisted in Co. D, 26th Mich. Vol. Inf., and his command was assigned to
the Army of the Potomac, under Gen. Hancock. On the last day's fight in the Wilderness he was wounded in the left hip by
a minie-ball. He also fought at Petersburg and on the South-Side Railroad, of Virginia, where he was again wounded, a
bullet passing through the liver and kidney. At the time he received this second wound he was color-bearer of his regiment.
From these two injuries he was in hospital 13 months. He was discharged July 24, 1865, after an honorable service of about
three years. Returning to Gratiot County, he lived at home two years, during which time he was married to Ellen Muscott, a
native of Gratiot County, where she was born April 9, 1849. After marriage, he resided on a farm in Gratiot County until
1871, when he came to Clare. Here he worked at carpentry, which trade he had learned after leaving the army. He built the
first house in Clare, camping out under a large elm tree while at work on the same. In August, 1879, he entered upon his
present business with a stock of $1,200, which is now increased to $3,000. He does an annual business of $6,000. Mr. S. is
Trustee of the Congregational Church, of which he and wife are active members. He has been School Assessor, and for six
years Treasurer. In 1879 he was Supervisor, and the following year he was elected County Treasurer, which office he now
holds. In politics, he is a staunch Republican.

Jerry Shaver, farmer on section 17, Emerson Township, was born in Delaware Co., NY, Nov. 19, 1822, and was a son of
Jacob I. and Sally (Kinch) Shaver. The former was a native of Delaware Co., N.Y. and of Dutch descent. He came to this
county in 1856, locating a land warrant of 80 acres on section 2, Emerson Township, and remained here till his death, July
21, 1873, at the age of 77 years and 3 months. Mrs. Sally Shaver was a native of Connecticut, and of New England
parentage. She was married to Mr. Shaver in Delaware Co., N.Y., and died in Emerson Township, at the age of 77 years
and two and a half months. At the age of two, Jerry went with his parents to Seneca County, where he lived until 15,
attending school and working on his father's farm. Thence he went to Steuben Co., where, May 30, 1846, he was married to
Ursula, daughter of Richard and Cordelia (Reid) Sawtell, natives of New England, and of English descent. Richard Sawtell
was a physician, and died in the State of New York, in 1842; Mrs. Sawtell died in Gratiot County, in 1865. Ursula was born
in Chenango Co., NY, Sept 27, 1826. Receiving her education in her native county, she went to Steuben County in 1842.
Six years after marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Shaver came to this State, and settled first in Ingham County, where they lived until
the fall of 1856. They then came to Gratiot County, and located on section 17, Emerson Township, securing 80 acres by the
Graduation Act. He has since purchased 40 acres additional, and has 70 acres well improved. They came into a dense
wilderness, and suffered severly during the "starving time" of 1857. They are the parents of four children, two of whom are
living: Herman D., born March 2, 1848; J. Frank, born June 2, 1864; William, born Jan. 10, 1847, and died Feb. 7, 1847;
Mary A., born July 21, 1850 and died Jan. 10, 1870. In politics Mr. Shaver is a liberal Democrat.
History of Gratiot Co (1913), p. 277:
From an article on Hugh Daily:
One time there were four of us with teams going to St. Johns--Parks Allen, Jerry Shaver, Herman Shaver and myself. We
stopped over at Coleman's, four miles this side of St. Johns. The next morning Herman and I ran four miles to see the cars,
leaving our ox-teams in charge of the others. We had never seen a railroad. We saw the railroad that morning, but the cars
had gone before we got there; but it was quite a treat to see even the railroad. Afterward I worked on the railroad that came
into St. Louis.

History of Gratiot County (1913) p. 282:
Jerry Shaver, section 17 of Emerson Township, was born in Delaware County, N.Y., November 19, 1822. He is a son of
Jacob and Sally (Kinch) Shaver of Delaware County, N.Y., and grand son of John and Elizabeth (Parks) Sahver, the former
born May 19, 1763, the latter born May 13, 1763. Jacob Shaver came to Gratiot in 1856, settling on 80 acrs, section 2 of
Emerson, and remained there until his death, July 21, 1873, at the age of 77 years. His wife, Sally Shaver, lived but two
months after his death, passing away in her 77th year. Jerry Shaver was the tenth in a family of eleven children born to
Jacob and Sally Shaver. Now in his 91st year, he is remarkably well preserved, considering his advanced age, gettinga bout
quite lively and without the aid of a cane. His wife, now deceased, whose maiden name was Ursula Sawtell, was one of
twelve children born ot Richard and Cordelia (Reid) Sawtell. She was born in Chenango County, N.Y, September 27, 1826,
and died at her home in Emerson, August 25, 1909, aged nearly 83 years. Her father who was a physician, died in the state
of New York in 1842. Her mother came to Michigan after the death of her husband, and died at the home of her daughter,
Ursula, in 1865. Jerry Shaver and Ursula Sawtell were married May 30, 1846, in Canisteo, Steuben County, N.Y. Four
children were born to them. William died in infancy. Herman D., born March 2, 1848; Mary A. born July 21, 1850, died
January 10, 1870; J. Frank born June 2, 1864. Herman D. Shaver and family lived in Michigan until 1906 when they moved
to California. They now own a farm and reside in the Sacramento Valley. Frank Shaver, born in Emerson Township, June
2, 1864, has lived until the present time on the same farm on which he was born. He was united in marriage in 1889 to Edna
Brown, daughter of Edgar A. and Mary (DePeel) Brown, of Emerson, Rev. C.A. Jacokes performing the ceremony. From
this union three children have been born--Irl, born May 4, 1892; Carl, born January 30, 1894; Marjorie, born December 4,
1896. Irl is now a resident of Princeton, California, where he went in 1909 for the benefit of his heal Jerry Shaver, the
father, came to Michigan from the State of New York, with his family, in 1855. He lived in Ingham County one year and
then -- in 1856 came to Gratiot and settled on wild land, section 17, Emerson Township, where he still resides with his son
Frank. He and his family were here all through the "starvation times" and with many others, suffered many of the hardships
and privations that fell to the lot of those early settlers; hardships difficult to exaggerate in the telling, and which none of
them ever desired to have duplicated. The aged pioneer has always enjoyed the confidence and good will of his townsmen.
Politically he has always been a Democrat. Officially he has served his township acceptably as supervisor. The oldest son,
Herman, was elected Justice of the peace in 1890, and was re-elected in 1894.Frank Shaver has served his township as
clerk, as is now serving in the important office of highway commissioner. He is prominent in secret society work; a
member and Past N.G. of Emerson Lodge No. 375, I.O.O.F., and has been secretary a number of terms; is Past Ch.
Patriarch of Ithaca Encampment No. 106 and a Past Com. of Gratiot Canton No. 11, and is a member of Ithaca Camp. No.
4713, M.W.A. Also a member of the school board of his district. His esteemed wife is prominent in D. of R. circles and is

Hunt Institute: Charles Fletcher Swingle Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation
Charles Fletcher Swingle served in various positions (1922–1935) from field assistant to associate pomologist for Nursery
Stock Investigation, Bureau of Plant Industry (B.P.I.), U.S.D.A., performing research in the laboratory, field, and
greenhouse on methods and materials of plant propagation, especially studies on vegetable propagation and fruit tree
understocks. In 1927–28, while a collaborator with the B.P.I., Swingle worked in Leeds, England, with J. H. Priestly and
investigated gardeners’ training schools, horticultural and botanical research agencies, and private nurseries in central
Europe and also served as the U.S. representative to the Eighth International Horticultural Congress, Vienna. In 1928
Swingle and Professor Henri Humbert of the University of Algiers explored Madagascar where they found Euphorbia
intisy, previously believed extinct, as well as other rubber plants, Kalanchoe and other ornamentals, and other plants. From
July 1935 to August 1943, Swingle served with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (S.C.S.). He was horticulturist for the
S.C.S. in Washington, DC (July 1935–August 1939), responsible for the establishment and administration of a nationwide
S.C.S. nursery system. He then became horticulturist and nursery manager for the S.C.S. in Manhattan, Kansas (September
1939–August 1943), in charge of the routine operation of one of the largest nurseries of the S.C.S. He assisted in tree- and
grass-seed production, as well as grass-seed collection and research, with the goal of obtaining new crops, especially nuts,
plums, and berries, for use throughout the Great Plains. From November 1943 to June 1945, Swingle served as assistant
director of War Hemp Industries, Inc., Milkweed Floss Division, in Petoskey, Michigan. His objective was to collect
milkweed pods for servicemen’s life jackets, as the kapok supply in the Dutch East Indies had been cut off by the Japanese.
Swingle supervised the nationwide collection of pods by schoolchildren and others and enlisted the cooperation of various
agriculture-related bodies. He spent June 1945 to September 1947 at the Estacion Agricola Experimental, Tingo Maria,
Peru, as Senior Horticulturist, Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations, U.S.D.A. His duties there were to establish and
operate an Amazon Valley experimental station run jointly by the U.S.D.A. and the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture. The
station’s function was the introduction and testing of both general and tropical plants, including rubber, cinchona, cacao,
banana, citrus, and manioc. Swingle served as extension horticulturist for the University of Wisconsin and the U.S.D.A. at
Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, from December 1947 to January 1950, performing extension work with northeastern Wisconsin
fruit growers, as well as research and some administration of the Peninsular Branch Experiment Station. From 1950 to
1955, he was a commercial strawberry grower in Sturgeon Bay.

Sketch given at his funeral: “The Gransbury family lived on the county line between Rice and Reno
Counties in the state of Kansas, where they operated a farm which they had homesteaded in 1878. It
was here that young Charles spent his early childhood. Charles attended school in Rice County until he
had completed most of the fourth grade. At that time, his father needed his help with the farm work
and his formal education gave way to the demands of every day life. The family continued in this
endeavor until Charles was 18 years of age. About that time, William Harper from Albion, Idaho, a
missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints entered their lives. In March of 1897,
his Mother and Father joined the Church with his two sisters joining shortly after. At that particular
time in history, Kansas was not a pleasant place to live if you were a Mormon, so in fall of 1897, the
family moved to Albion, Idaho. The trek consumed nine weeks and four days. During the journey, one
of their best horses was struck by a rattlesnake. This caused a delay of some four days while
arrangements were made for another horse. Charles met Jennie Louis Parrott on April 4, 1990. This
mortal acquaintance lasted some 65 years. They were married January 30, 1901. This marital union
was blessd with six children five sons, Orval Howard, Walter Charles, George Wesley, William Leslie,
and Charles Marion, and one daughter, Eunice Naomi. Of these six children four of the sons preceded
Charles in death. They had one son die when he was born early. He was never named. Charles Marion
being the surviving son. His wife, Jennie Louise Parrott, [dau of William Edward & Christiana Kitty
(Stevens) Parrott] also preceded him in death, passing away in May 1965 (May 16, 1965 Burley ID,
buried with Charles). However, this good sister lived to see her fondest dream fulfilled as Charles
joined the Church on June 30, 1962 and then he took his bride of 61 years to the Temple in Idaho Falls
to have their marriage sealed for Time and Eternity on February 12, 1964. On March 22, 1968 at age
87, Charles married Mary Ransom (Sant) and they shared the remaining years of his life. Charles
Wesley Gransbury lived a long and eventful life. He was a farmer, rancher, liveryman, and freight
hauler. He was a resident of this area for nearly 74 years. He is survived by his wife, Mary, two sisters,
a son, Charles Marlon, and a daughter, Eunice Naomi William, 24 grandchildren, 85 greatgrandchildren, and 11 great-great grandchildren.” Born to him and Jennie were:

Helen or Nellie M. Noye was born December 26, 1839 in Rye, New York, but her family lived in Buffalo, N.Y., where her
father, John T. Noye, was a clerk. The family stayed in Buffalo, where John Noye later became a wealthy manufacturer of
mill machinery. Helen had two brothers Hadie and Richard K., and a sister Lizzie. In August of 1863 Helen journeyed to
Annapolis, Maryland, to spend one year as a volunteer nurse in the U.S. General Hospital Division No. 1, also called the
Naval Academy Hospital. The hospital had opened in 1857 and remained open through out the Civil War, even though the
Naval Academy itself had been removed to Newport, Rhode Island. Helen was the youngest of 10 nurses at the hospital, so
young that when Dorothea Dix, chief of the army nurses, visited the camp, Helen was "spirited away" in fear that she would
be ordered to leave because of her age. Helen worked under the supervision of nurse Sister Tyler, and the surgeon in charge
Dr. B. A. Vanderkeift. She roomed and worked with Maria or Hallie Hall, who was 27 and, of all the nurses, closest in age
to Helen. Helen and Miss Hall became "best and life long friends," both of them being very religious and more critical of
the other nurses for their exaggerations and drama.
Helen's work was mainly to tend to the wounded soldiers. She distributed food to the soldiers, wrote letters they dictated,
and she wrote letters to the soldiers' families after their deaths. Her deep religious sentiments lead her to read sermons to the
soldiers, comfort them spiritually, and in some cases convert them. When she started working, most of her patients were
paroled prisoners from Richmond, Va. Later patients came from those wounded at the battles around Petersburg, and
eventually only wounded officers were assigned to the hospital. Helen showed kindness to all the soldiers who came
through the hospital, including black soldiers who were segregated, and a young Confederate soldier, who died at the
hospital. In early March of 1864, while Miss Hall was away, Helen was given extra duties and placed in charge of section
five. In addition to tending more soldiers, she was in charge of arranging their meals. Helen very much enjoyed preparing
the soldiers' food, even if she did feel "how hard a lady's position as supervisor is."
In July 1864, due to the proximity of the Confederate Army, Helen and the other nurses were ordered to leave the hospital.
After departing the hospital, the train on which Helen was riding was captured by the Confederate Army just north of
Baltimore. Helen and the other passengers were helped off the train and left with their baggage and a handcar. The next day
the abandoned passengers were picked up by a steamer and Helen returned to Buffalo to care for her ailing mother. Helen

never returned to the hospital and the work to which she was "heart and soul devoted." In 1867 Helen married Birney Hoyt
(1841-1900) in Buffalo, N.Y., and the couple moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Birney Hoyt was a lawyer, and from
1871-1881 a circuit court judge. According to the 1880 census, they had four sons, John, Richard, Hobert, and Haward. A
fifth son, Arthur Birney was born in 1880. They also had two female servants. Helen Noye Hoyt outlived her husband by
26 years. She died February 7, 1926.
