"JOSEPH STRICKLAND was born in the state of New Jersey, January 4, 1804, and removed with the family of his father, Joseph Strickland, sr., to Jefferson county, Ohio, prior to the war of 1812, and thence to Vermillion township, now Ashland county, a few years subsequent to the close of the war. His father had served honerably as a solder from New Jersey in the war of the Revolution, and died in Seneca county, Ohio, at the advanced age of eighty-six years in 1850. In 1826 Joseph Strickland, jr., the subject of this sketch, purchased and removed to the farm on which he deceased, in the northwest part of Vermillion township. He improved his homestead and made it a valuable property. He connected with the Methodist Episcopel church early in life, and was an exemplary Christian for over fifty years, and several times a leader in the church. He was noted for his domestic worth and kindness to his family. He affection and goodnees of heart had a cheerful influence over his children, all of whom revered, honored, and followed his counsel. As a citizen, he was quiet and unobtrusive. His integrety and uprightness fitted him for public promotion. He was fequently called upon by his neighbors to fill offices of trust in his township. He served as trustee, justice of the peace and infirmary director, and retired from the latter postion, some years since, because of a paralytic attack, which disabled him, and prevented and active discharge of public duties. In politics he was a Democrat, and had been from his arrival at manhood. He was noted for his benevolent and kindly feelings, and made an excellant infirmary director. He has goine home to rest with the just and the pure. May his example as a Christian and a man have its influence upon those who remain to conduct the affairs of their fellow citizens.
Mr. Strickland died at his residence in the northwest part of Vermillion township, Sunday, October 8, 1876, after a long and painful attack of paralysis, aged seventy-two years, nine months, and one day.
At a meeting of the obituary committee of the Historical and Pioneer association, of Ashland county, appropriate resolutions were adopted regarding his decease."

Susanna was born In 1618 In Warwickshire, England. Mitchell, according to Savage, says all children of William Orcutt, including Susanna, are mention In his will of 1694. She died on 20 Feb 1699 In Bridgewater Massachusetts. The Second Torrey Supplement says he did marry a Susanna, but not Orcutt! Reference is John Brooks Threlfall, Great Migration Colonists, 1993.
She was married to Samuel (1) EDSON Deacon. Although Threlfall, now says this is incorrect, this small volume has him as born In England, 1612, residing In Salem 1639,( at Salem, Massachusetts, July, 1639) marrying Susanna Orcutt about 1637 (saying she is "probably an elder sister of William Orcutt who came from Scituate and settled In Bridgewater before 1682) and moved to Bridgewater about 1650. He is said to have died In 1692, aged 80 with his will dated jan 15, 1688-9, proved Sept 20 1692.
New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV
EDSON The surname Edson is derived from the personal name Ed, and is a shorter form of Edwardson, Edmondson or Edwinson, possibly of Addison. The first mention of the name of Edson, spelled In this way, is In the early American records relating to this family, and it is believed that the immigrant himself abbreviated his name upon coming to this country.
(I) Deacon Samuel Edson, the pioneer, was an early settler at Salem, Massachusetts, where he
was admitted an inhabitant In 1639, and was granted half an acre of land near Catt Cove, and five
acres of planting ground. In 1642 he was granted twenty-five acres of land at Mackerel Cove, and
two acres of meadow. About 1650 he moved to Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and he was called
an inhabitant of that town In a deed dated December 10, 1652. He died there In 1693, aged eighty
years. He and his wife are buried In the old burying ground, and one of the oldest headstones In the cemetery marks their graves. Deacon Samuel Edson and Rev. James Keith, of Scotland, the first minister of Bridgewater, were given grants after the fifty-four proprietors had taken their shares.
He erected the first corn mill In the town In 1662, on Town river. His will was dated January 15,
1688-89, and proved September 20, 1692. He was admitted a freeman In 1657. His home was on
the south side of the river, near his mill. He deeded the mill to his five daughters, according to a
deed recorded April 19, 1736. He was a good farmer, and possessed much mechanical skill. In
1660 he owned three rights In the town; In 1683 he had one right, having given rights to his sons.
He was well-to-do. He filled a number of town offices. In 1666 he was appointed a member of the
council of war; In 1676 he was representative to the general court, and In the same year served on
a committee to distribute the town share of the contributions for distress In the Indian wars. In November, 1672, he was on a committee which received the deed from Chief Pomonoho of the Titicut purchase "In and for the use of the townsmen of Bridgewater, joint purchasers with them." In December, 1686, he and Ensign John Howard and Deacon John Willis, agents of the town, received a confirmatory deed of the Indian Chief Wampatuck for the purchasers and the town, of all the lands previously conveyed to them by Massasoit. This deed was dated March 3, 1649. In 1667 he was foreman of a committee to lay out roads, and again In 1672. In 1680 he was on the committee to determine the boundary line between Bridgewater and Middleborough, and In the same year on a similar committee which decided the boundary between Bridgewater and Taunton. He was one of the first deacons of the church, from about 1664 to the end of his life. He was associated with very prominent men, and was influential In the town, church and colony. He is said to have been of large, athletic frame, of medium weight and sturdy constitution. He was grave and dignified In manner, keen and discerning In mental powers. Firm In his opinions, he was not obstinate, and would cheerfully admit the soundness of an argument, when convinced. It is said that he was rather inclined to listen and weigh evidence, and was not given to much speaking, but when he was heard In town seting his arguments carried weight and he usually won his point. "The strength and vigor of his intellect, the quickness of his perceptions, the extent and accuracy of his memory and the struggle of mental enterprise, supplied In no inconsiderable degree the deficiency of education. While he was thus respected for these attributes of mind and character, it was to his constant practice of the Christian virtues and the influence of his example that his preeminence was greatly due." He married, about 1637, In England, Susanna Orcutt, probably a sister of William Orcutt, who came to Scituate and settled In Bridgewater before 1682. "Her education and natural abilities were said to be fully equal to his, while In union with an expressive modesty of deportment and unaffected piety, gave to her person an elevated position and to her character a high rank among the matrons of the town," as an old genealogy says. "She exhibited a majestic figure, rather above medium height, an elegant and majestic mein, with a countenance happily combining graceful dignity and cheerful benignity." Children: Susanna, born In England, about 1638; Sarah, at Salem, about 1640; Elizabeth, at Salem, about 1643; Samuel, 1645; Mary, at Bridgewater, about 1647; Joseph, mentioned below; Josiah, at Bridgewater, 1651; Bethiah, about 1653.

Samuel Packard the immigrant, early of Weymouth and Hingham came on the ship "The Diligent" and ultimately settled in Bridgewater. He and his wife, Elizabeth ______ had numerous children. For Packard descendants, of course, his will should be of interest, but it is also interesting to note that she late in life married John Washburne, son of John and Margery Washburn and the husband of Elizabeth Mitchell, Mayflower Descendant. He died within a few years of the marriage, being then about 65. Note the interesting comment as it relates to a bequest for dau. Jael, current wife of John Smith, in which he seems to, but perhaps not necessarily, expresses some distaste for Smith

Part Two: Topical Narratives
Chapter 13: Everyday Life and Manners:
As time went on, Plymouth Colony resolved some old problems and acquired new ones. The court could not satisfy all complaints. Though people were frequently punished for slander, in 1677 when Captain
Goulding, David Lake, and Thomas Lake complained that they were meeting with opposition and threatening speeches from neighbors to disturb them in their peaceful enjoyment of lands granted them by the court, the court said it would maintain their title to the lands, "but as for words, they must beare with them when they meet with them." In 1670 the court ordered that profits from fishing with nets at Cape Cod would go to provide a free school for the training of youth in literature for the good and benefit of posterity, and in 1678 it gave £5 from fishing profits to the schoolmaster at Rehoboth, and it
expressed an intention to have a grammar school in each town of the colony. People complained of high taxes, and some towns were using tax methods that the court found odd. In 1668, at the complaint of Mr.
Nicholas Byram that Bridgewater was overtaxing people with dormant lands and undertaking those who used the town's common lands, the court told the town to find some more equitable way. In 1670 the
court, in answer to the complaint of land owners at Rehoboth, ordered the town not to tax them more than thirty shillings for a £40 rating.

... Moses Simonson arrived on the Fortune in 1621. Though not on the 1633 freeman list, he became a freeman no later than 7 March 1636/37 (PCR 1:53). He was in Leiden with the Separatists, and Winslow called him a member of the Dutch Church who could speak English and who took communion with the Separatist Church (Hypocrisie Unmasked, p. 63). He also went by the name Moses Simons, and on 13 December 1660 Moses Simons of Duxbury and his wife Sarah sold his right of lands in Bridgewater to Nicholas Byram (MD 34:85). He dated his will 17 June 1689, calling himself "aged and full of decay," and his inventory was taken 10 September 1691 (MD 31:60). He mentioned his sons Aaron and John; and his daughters Mary, wife of Joseph Alden; Elizabeth, wife of Richard Dwelly; and Sarah, wife of James Nash. He also had a son Moses, Jr. of Scituate, who predeceased him (Ply. Colony PR 3:2:62-63).

Byrams in America, John Arnold Byram, 1988, pages 1-2
The exact reason or event which brought Nicholas to America will probably never be know. Aaron G. Byram, who documented the first Byram family genealogy, "The Byram Pamphlet" drew upon the writing of the family legend as written by the Honorable Nathan Mitchell in his "History of Bridgewater". Aaron wrote"Nicholas Byram was the son of an English gentleman who removed about the time of the birth of his son to Ireland. At sixteen his father sent him to visit his friends in England, in charge of a man who betrayed his trust, robbed him of his money, and sent him to "West Indies" (probably the island of Barbados) where he was sold to pay his passage. After his time of servitude expired, by the help of a few pieces of gold, said to have been sewd into one of his garments by his mother, he took passage to New England and married Susanna Shaw of Weymouth." Mark Bennett Byron III in his book "THE BYRAM CHRONICLE" writes: "The author does not question Nicholas' going to Weymouth MA or his
marriage to Susanna Shaw but believes that he has uncovered the record of his early arrival in America whether he came directly from England or via Barbados. In either event he landed in Virginia with Thomas Edghill and received 50 acres of land. Possibly the religious climate of Massachusetts Colony was more to his liking than that of Virginia where the established church was firmly entrenched. For this reason Nicholas probably traded his 50 acres of land in Virginia for passage to the MA colony.,"
He also states that the Virginia Colony have a land grant showing that on 23 Oct. 1637 - Thomas Edghill received 100 acres, Isle of Wight County. Upon a creed running SW of maine creek in the Pagan Baye,
adjoining next to John Walker's devdt. Westward toward the head of Vaster's Neck. 50 acres due to his personal adv. and 50 acres of 1 servant called Nicholas Byram."
Then in Northcumberland County Records, on 5 Feb. 1651 - John Hawkin's will gives land to Abraham Byram and a yearling to Abraham's son, Thomas. "From the above, it would seem that a Nicholas and
Abraham were about the same age, possibly brothers and probably the grand children of Nicholas Byrom, the Cheshire Barrister.
Mark also gives a statement that Helen Byrom Griggs said. "Father also said that there was a tradition in the family tha the young son of some early Byrom has been kidnapped by a sailor's press gang and had been taken to Barbados from wence he never returned but suggested his origin his origin in kent might have been mistaken for Kenion where the Byroms were established."
Nicholas may have taken the ketch "Increase" which sailed from Barbados to Boston but was damaged in a storm and arrived in Peqout (New London) Conn. From there he must have gone to MA. Nicholas settled in Weymouth, MA.
He was made a freeman by the Court, May 2, 1638. The term freeman was sort of an Aristocracy in New England. By 1670 there were only 1,100 Freemen out of a population of 25,000. They were voting members of their colony. A Freeman was required to have a certain amount of land of an income equivalent to the income received from that amount of land. He had the title "Mister", and could wear costly garments with ornaments of silver, gold, or lace threads.
In 1662 Nicholas purchased of Moses Simmons, Phillip Delano and of George Soule 3 shares, or the original purchase rights, of a tract of land which became Bridgewater. This amounted to seven square miles. He was the second settler. The purchase of "Duxbury Plantation" (Bridgewater) was made on March 23, 1640 by Miles Standish, Samuel Nash and Constant Southworth acting as commissioners appointed to make this purchase.
It would be interesting to learn where Nicholas acquired the cash for such a purchase. It is possible that the sale of this home in Weymouth, MA provided means to purchase the undeveloped land to the west. This trend, to move west to gain cheaper land continued for many generations and helped distribute the Byram family throughout America. Nicholas took an active part in the government of Bridgewater. He was elected a member of the grand inquest under Thomas Prince in 1664. He was appointed by the Court as one of the selectman of Bridgewater in 1666. He was appointed, with Samuel Edson and John Willis, Councillor of War with the Military Officers of the town in 1667 and he held other civil posititions.

Æthelred's reign was interrupted by Sweyn I (Forkbeard) of Denmark, who seized the English throne in 1013, only to die the following year. He succeeded to the throne after the murder of his half-brother, Edward II, the Martyr, at the age of ten.
His reign was plagued by poor advice from his personal favorites and suspicions of his complicity in Edward's murder. His was a rather long and ineffective reign, which was notable for little other than the payment of the Danegeld, an attempt to buy off the Viking invaders with money. T
he relentless invasions by the Danish Vikings, coupled with their ever-escalating demands for more money, forced him to abandon his throne in 1013.
He fled to Normandy for safety, but was later recalled to his old throne at the death of Svein Forkbeard in 1014. He died in London in 1016. | England, King of England Æthelred II King of (I5629)

He continued wars against the Danes and had a victory at the mouth of the ret in Somerset in 845 and again in 851 when he beat a force of 350 ships' companies who attacked Canterbury. Ethelwulf helped the Mercians against the Welsh and then married the Mercian king's daughter.He was a religious man and in 855 undertook a pilgrimage to Rome, leaving the country in charge of Ethelbald his eldest son. On his return, to avoid civil war, he allowed Ethelbald to retain Wessex while he ruled Kent and other ts of SE England. Events abroad during Ethelwulf's reign included the Treaty of Verdun in 843, which divided the Frankish Empire and laid the foundation for the states of France and Germany. In 844 Kenneth MacAlpine united Scotland. In the 850's the crossbow was used for the first time in France. Ethelwulf died on Thursday 13th January 858 and is buried at Winchester. At this time England was known by it's old Greek name, Albion, by the rest of Europe. The name England was not used until two centuries later. | Wessex, King of Wessex Æthelwulf King of (I6739)

"JOHN S. GRABILL was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1818. In the fall of 1833 he left Germany in company with his parents and arrived in America Christmas week of 1833, spending the holidays of that year in Philadelphia. In January, 1834, the left Philadelphia for Ashland county, Ohio, traveling some five or six weeks by team, and located in Vermillion township. Mr. Grabillwas fiftenn years old when he arrived in Ashland county, and has resided in Ashland county ever since. His father died in 1845, and his mother at a later date. Mr. Grabill has given his whole time to farming, and by industry, economy, and good management occupies a front rank among the best farmers of Ashland county. On August 21, 1845, he married Miss Nancy Harper, of Vermillion township. They had one son, Samuel, born August 29, 1846, who was married March 13, 1877, to Miss Anna Ewing, by whom he has two children. Father and son live in the old house happily. In 1877 Mr. Grabill made a southern tour, visiting Atlanta, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Charleston, and many other cities, returning by way of Washington city."
Source: History of Ashland County, Ohio; George William Hill, M.D., published by Williams Bros., 1880
Johannes S. Grabill was nearly sixteen years of age when on February 9th,1834 he with his parents, five brothers and a sister arrived at the Hayesville cross-road in the State of Ohio. It was this John who wrote the letters from Havre de Grace in France, to his grandmother at Altleiningen describing their journey from the Pfalz through south-west Germany and France to the port where they embarked for America.
These and other letters which were written by members of this family from their pioneer home in America to their relatives in Germany were ultimately retrieved from there.
Still more letters which were received by Johannes from his brothers and sister after they had left the vicinity of Hayesville and settled in other localities were contributed to the Bluffton College Historical Library at Bluffton, Ohio, by present descendants of Johannes Grabill.
These letters provided the earliest information about our common ancestor Friedrich Krebill that we have. The following excerpts are from notes kept by "Johannes."
"1833. I was born of Christian parents who fed, clothed me and saw that I received a good school education as well as Christian instructions.
1837. Now I am nineteen years of age. We have left the Fatherland and came to the United States of America. My father's home was in a mill near Altleiningen. His name is Friedrich Krebill. My mother's name was Anna Risser and her home was at Friedelsheim near Bad Durkheim. They were married in 1818 and moved on to a farmstead called Messerschwanderhof, near Otterberg.
I was born May 4, 1818
Bro. Samuel was born October 24 1819
Bro. Abraham was born May 10 1821
Bro. Jacob was born Nov. 28 1822
Bro. Heinrich was bornJune 18 1824
Bro. [Peter] b-May 13, 1825 & d-Jan. 4, 1827 ( ed - Should read Christian)
Peter was born Nov. 5 1827
Sister Agnes was born Sept. 12 1830
We lived on the Messerschwanderhof for about 14 years. My father then sold this farm and rented half of the large Quirnheim estate. About three years later we left the Fatherland and moved to America where we settled on a farm near Hayesville Cross-Road. Father bought this 80 acre farm with a Saw Mill, a windmill, two small houses and half under cultivation for $1050/00."
The following he added later: "When I was attending school in Germany I wrote my name "Johannes Krebill" and was told that we were not related to the "Krehbiel" families in the Pfalz. In America the teacher suggested I spell my name Grabill. If I had it to do again it would not be done."
In a letter written in 1849 to his uncle Heinrich Krebill in Germany, Johannes mentioned that his wife was English and could speak only a few words of German. They, with their two year old son, were living on an eighty acre farm about a half mile from his parents' place.
After the demise of his father that year and of his mother early in 1857, it was to "John" that his brothers Abraham, Jacob, Henry and Peter as well as his sister Agnes Eyman-Eberle directed their letters from their new homes farther west.
Abraham was probably the first to leave the old home vicinity when he settled in Bureau County in Illinois. Jacob and his sister Agnes Eyman were the next for they arrived in Lee County, Iova in the fall of 1856. Henry who was following a trade as a craftsman had been working in various localities and did not settle down right away. Peter and his wife and newly born babe
left in the spring of 1857 for Lee County in Iowa which made three of these Krebill descendants living within walking distance of each other.
After so short a space cf time as 22 years only one of the descendants of Friedrich and Anna Krebill remained in the Hayesville vicinity in Ohio.
It was in the 1920s that my uncle Fred. H. Krebill of Donnellson, Iowa had come into possession of the letters written by the Friedrich Krebill pioneers to their relatives in Germany. Of the five translated copies which Uncle Fred made, the one he gave to me was typed on some John L. Donley business stationery at Ashland, Ohio. Mr. Donley had married Elizabeth Grabill, a
granddaughter of John S. Grabill.
This seemed to have been about the last time that the Ohio and Iowa Krebills were in contact with each other until a few years ago Howard Grabill from Ashland contributed some letters and other papers to the Historical library of Bluffton College at Bluffton, Ohio and finally more recently when we began to solicit reports about the John S. Grabill descendants for our genealogica lbook.
Donley descendants still possess some acres from the ancestral properties in the Hayesville, Ohio area.

Chapter: Town of Otto
JOHN S. HARVEY MRS. THEDEY HARVEY
JOHN S. HARVEY. (DECEASED.) insert photo
One of the largest landed proprietors, and a prominent citizen, universally esteemed and respected, resident of this town, was he of whom we write. Mr. John S. Harvey was born in the town of Marcellus, County of Onondaga, State of New York, in June, 1805. He immigrated to Cattaraugus County, February 11, 1827, and first settled in that portion of Little Valley now known as New Albion. Before leaving Onondaga County, however, he married (in 1827) Miss Thedey Reed, who was born in 1805.
Jonathan Reed, father of Mrs. Harvey, was a native of Massachusetts, of Puritan stock, and a descendant of Revolutionary sires illustrious in the annals of our country's history. He was born before the struggle for Independence (in 1774), and during the administration of our second President (in 1798) moved westward to New York State, taking up his pioneer residence in Onondaga County, which at that date was an unsettled wilderness. He followed farming all his life, and died in 1829,aged 55 years.
Medad Harvey, father of our subject, became a resident of Onondaga County, New York, about the year 1800. He purchased and settled upon a farm in the town of Marcellus, where his son, John S., was born, passed his youth, obtained his education, and "followed the plow" until he attained his twenty-second year, when he married and moved west to make himself a home in Western New York, a previously mentioned. The family of Mr. J. E Harvey numbers three sons, -Hiram R., Alfred B and Frank J. Harvey, -all of whom are living Hiram, in Cattaraugus village; Alfred, in the village of Randolph, this county; and F. J., about a mile from Waverly, in the town of Otto. John S. Harvey was the owner of six hundred and twenty-five acres of land in Cattaraugus County.
Politically, Mr. Harvey acted with the Democratic Party, at whose hands he received several offices of honor and trust, among others that of supervisor of the town of New Albion. He was an active member of the Baptist denomination, and contributed liberally to the support of that society. He died February 1, 1871, aged sixty-six years. His remains repose in the cemetery at Waverly. His widow still survives at the age of seventy-three, quite hale an hearty for a person of her years. The original home stead is now owned by his second son, Alfred B. Harvey. To the memory of his parents, Frank. Harvey * has caused their portraits to be here inserted, in connection with the record of their lives and thus handed down to future generations.
* A fine view of F. J. Harvey’s residence, and portraits of himself and wife, may also be seen in this work. | Harvey, John S (I29692)

Miller crowned Lee County fair Queen; Krebill honored for 42 years of volunteer service
Nick Mueller/Daily Democrat Intern
A new queen took the throne in the grandstand at the Lee County Fair Thursday night.
Melissa Miller, a Wever resident and 2001 graduate of Fort Madison High School, was crowned in front of a large crowd in between sessions of the Bill Riley Talent Show. Tara Wellman, the reigning Lee County Fair Queen, presented Miller with the crown.
Miller shared the honors Thursday night with the first and second runners-up, who were, respectively, Wendy Walljasper and Jessica Krogmeier. Bridget Dunlay was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow candidates.
Before Miller was crowned queen, a member of the Lee County Fair board was honored in the grandstands; but it was not just any member. After 42 years of service to the Lee County Community, and everyone who enjoys the Lee County Fair year in and year out, Dwight Krebill was given his due this Thursday night during the Grandstand events. The Lee County Fair Board, who feels wholeheartedly indebted to Krebill for all of his services over these past 42 years, presented the board veteran with a gold watch.
Though a gold watch is certainly nothing to scoff at, the gift that the board really wanted to give to Krebill was not really a material one, but one of recognition, and a public outpouring of appreciation. When someone serves on the board of something like the Lee County Fair, the decisions and contributions that they make are enjoyed and felt by hundreds of
people, literally everyone attending the fair, in some cases.
That is what Thursday evening's ceremony was all about. Krebill has seen the Lee County Fair through the thick and the thin, along each and every step of the way, since 1958. That's no small achievement, and the board, along with the entire community as a whole, showed its thanks this Thursday night.
Brenda Mohrfeld, current member of the Lee County Fair board, sang Krebill's praises at Thursday's ceremonies. "We just can't thank Dwight enough, because not only was he always pitching in, but he was also our resident historian. We can always go to him for wisdom. We just wanted, along with the public, to acknowledge just how hard he has worked and how
selflessly he's contributed over all these years.
Recently, Krebill has taken the time to both honor his loved ones, and to help out the area, as memorials for his relatives are being used for different reasons. One, for his wife Mildred, was designated for the Art Hall. Given that, the money was used to landscape all around the building. This project is still in progress. In addition, Krebill set up a scholarship in the memory of his son, Doug, which goes to benefit area ag students.
In addition to all of the hoopla surrounding the crowning of Miller as queen and the honoring of Krebill, spectators were also presented with all sorts of amazingly fantabulous abilities, during the Bill Riley Talent Show. Acts of all sorts were presented, from tap-style dancing, to solo singing. The show was divided into two categories, one for "sprouts" or
youngsters, and a senior division. All of the acts performed were terrifitastic.

History of Mercer County, Ohio, and representative citizens, Volume 1
By S. S. Scranton, Biographical Publishing Company
p. 726
JEREMIAH ALLEN, a representative citizen and successful farmer, residing on his well-improved farm of 80 acres, which is situated in section 20, Union township, is also an honored survivor of the great Civil War, in which he spent over three years. Mr. Allen bears a distinguished name and comes from the same stock as did Gen. Ethan Allen, of Revolutionary fame. He was born in the Dominion of Canada, just opposite Oswego, New York, and is a son of Enos and Eliza (Van Meere) Allen.
Nicholas Allen, the paternal grandfather, was a native of Vermont. He married Annie Gear and they reared a family of children. After her death, Nicholas, with two of his sons, Hiram and Simon, went West and these sons participated in the battle of Lake Champlain, in the War of 1812. Two sons and a daughter of Nicholas Allen remained in Vermont. The latter became the wife of Nathan Harvey. One of the sons was Enos, the father of our subject.
Enos Allen was born July 5, 1805, and died May 26, 1893, aged 87 years, 11 months and 10 days. He lived in the vicinity of Middlebury, Vermont, until manhood, when he moved to the northern part of New York and settled on the shore of Lake Champlain. Subsequently he crossed over to Canada and resided there for almost 20 years. He then moved to Ohio and settled in Dublin township, Mercer County, near where the present Perry homestead is located. He married Eliza Van Meere, who was born in Canada, March 19, 1811, and died December 22, 1875, aged 64 years, 9 months and 3 days. She was a daughter of John and Hannah (Harrington) Van Meere. The former was a native of Pennsylvania, of Dutch descent. The latter was a native of New York. Eight children were born to Enos Allen and wife, as follows : Jeremiah, our subject, who was the eldest; Justin S., born January 27, 1835, who married Almira Moore and resided two and one-fourth miles from his older brother, in Union township, where he died July 17, 1896, aged 61 years and 18 days; Diana, born January 25, 1837, deceased March 24, 1876, aged 38 years and 2 months, who was the wife of John M. Drake, of Union township; Phoebe, born June 11, 1839, deceased August 3, 1899, who was the wife of Joseph B. Drake, of Union township, who still survives; Eliza Jane, born September 6, 1841, deceased November 1, 1879, aged 38 years, 1 month and 25 days, who married Elias Pritchard, of Union township; Deborah, born April 5, 1844, who is the widow of James Vance and lives on the old home place; and Samantha, born November 1, 1864, and Harriet, born September 19, 1868, who died unmarried.
Jeremiah Allen obtained his education in Canadian schools and grew to man's estate a practical farmer. In 1855 he moved to Mercer County, Ohio, followed by his father in the following year. He settled where he now lives, when the whole surrounding country was covered with timber. A cabin of logs had been commenced, which Mr. Allen was obliged to finish before it was habitable and when it was completed it had a loose board floor, one window and one door, which the greater part of the time stood hospitably open. He immediately began clearing his land with a view to cultivating it, but had made only reasonable headway when the Civil War broke out. Although born in Canada, he was a true and loyal American at heart, the blood of brave military ancestors coursing through his veins, and he soon resolved to enter the army and defend the liberties for which his family had fought in times past.
After making arrangements for the comfort of his family during his absence, Mr. Allen enlisted on September 10, 1861, in Company A, 46th Reg., Ohio Vol. Inf., under Capt. J. W. Heath and Col. Thomas Worthington, and was mustered in at Camp Lincoln, near Columbus, by John R. Eady, mustering officer. In February, 1862, the regiment took the train for Cincinnati, went from there to Paducah, Kentucky, thence to Savannah and on March 20, 1862, reached Pittsburg Landing. On the following day the regiment moved to Shiloh, pitched tents and was then drilled until it went into battle on April 6th and 7th, both Company A and the regiment giving good account of themselves and losing heavily. The regiment reached Corinth on April 30, 1862, where Mr. Allen fell sick and was furloughed home on May 3rd. As soon as he was able to get about, he returned to his regiment, reaching it on June 19th at Lagrange, Tennessee. The next move of the regiment was to Lafayette, in the same State, where Mr. Allen was in a skirmish on June 30th, on the picket line, in which John Harper, of Mercer County, was wounded and subsequently died from its effects, and Captain Heath and a number of others were taken prisoners, Mr. Allen and Eli Heath being the only ones of the detachment to escape.
The 46th Ohio fought and won laurels at Vicksburg, Black River, Jackson, and Lookout Mountain and the severe battling at Mission Ridge decimated the ranks. The survivors went on to Knoxville, raising the siege there, then marched back to Scottsboro, Alabama, where the weary and footsore soldiers went into winter quarters. On May 1, 1864, the 46th Ohio, in marching trim, started on the Atlanta campaign, which included participation in the battles of Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain and Peach Tree Creek. Mr. Allen took part in the battle 0f Atlanta on July 22nd, when Captain Heath was killed as was also General McPherson. John Hicknell, of Union township, also fell in this battle. History tells of the fierce second battle of Atlanta on the 28th of July, of the repelled charge on August 3rd and of the second charge when the 46th Ohio, with other invincible regiments, made a successful capture and held the works for 20 days. From Atlanta, Mr. Allen's regiment was sent to Jonesboro, where an attack was made on the enemy in the rear, subsequently falling back from Lovejoy Station to East Point, where final preparations were made for the great "March to the Sea." After a faithful service of three years and 10 days, Mr. Allen received his honorable discharge on September 20, 1864, and reached his Ohio home on the last day of that month.
Mr. Allen resumed the clearing of his land, which he speedily accomplished, and soon proved himself 'as good a farmer as he had been a courageous soldier. He now has a very valuable property and all the excellent improvements have been placed here by himself. He is no longer very actively engaged in the operation of his farm, but still overlooks and advises those who do the actual work.
Mr. Allen was married (first) to Alma Bloomer, whose father had died and whose mother was married (second) to Smith Allen, who was an uncle of our subject. Mrs. Allen was born August 4, 1839, and died December 10, 1876, aged 37 years, 4 months and 6 days. Seven children were born to his marriage, as follows : Jehiel, born May 21, 1858, residing at Spencerville, Ohio, wh0 married Laura Stettler-two of their three children survive; Lucy, wife of Thomas Miller, residing near Mendon; Norma, wife of Milo Miller, residing at Cary, Ohio; Lydia Ann, born September 25, 1865, who died October 25, 1882, aged 17 years and 1 month; Alla, born August 30, 1868, who married C. M. Tomlinson and resides in Mendon-their one child is deceased; Ella, born October 23, 1870, who died April 3, 1890, aged 19 years, 5 months and i0 days; and Eliza R., born August 1, 1874, who died April 21, 1876, aged 1 year, 8 months and 21 days.
Mr. Allen was married (second) to Mrs. Cynthia Heath, who died February 12, 1889, aged 50 years, 3 months and 24 days. Mr. Allen was married. (third), on May 3, 1898, to Annie Magoogan, who was born January, 28, 1848, and is a daughter of Aquilla Magoogan, of Marion County, Ohio. The Magoogan family is of Irish extraction.
Mr. Allen is a stanch Republican. He is a valued member of McKendree-Murlin Post, No. 319, G. A. R., at Mendon. For many years he has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

LIfe sketch of "Bowredden Amzi Miller" from familysearch.org - https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L7SC-LCM
Bowredden Amzi Miller had red hair, blue eyes, a light complexion and stood about 5' 6" tall when he joined the Union Army on January 2nd, 1864 to serve in the Civil War at the rank of Private. He was mustered in to the Illinois 28th Infantry Battalion, Company D, on 15 February 1864 in Natchez, Mississippi. He claimed on this date to be 22 years of age (which would make his birth year approximately 1842). Not long after enlisting, in May 1864, the entire company was given furlough, and his sister Polly remembered that Bowredden came back to visit the family in Illinois. The entire company reported back to Camp Butler Illinois on May 29th, and returned to Natchez Mississippi on the 8th of July.
Bowredden's company reconnoitered to Homachita River, Mississippi in October 1864 under the command of Colonel Osborn, Second United States Colored Cavalry. The Unit then spent much of the final months of the war stationed in and around Louisiana, with several treacherous travels by ship, before participating in the fourteen day siege of Spanish Fort, Alabama.
When his company was mustered out in Texas in July 1865, Bowredden re-enlisted for 3 years as a Private in Battery "M", 1st United States Artillery. Though he was returned to the original company in September, the War Department intervened and reassigned him to Battery "M" at Brownsville, Texas, on December 1, 1865.
On December 28th, Battery "M" embarked on the Steamer "Tampico" for New York City, arriving on January 15th, 1866. Bowredden's company was stationed at Fort Hamilton, New York when he deserted from service on May 21st, 1866.
Sometime after this, Bowredden lived with a woman named "Sarah" in Missouri. After the couple separated, Sarah apparently removed to the neighborhood of Schuyler County, Illinois, where Bowredden's mother lived. This person called herself "Sarah Miller," and asserted that she was Bowredden's wife, before moving on again after a couple of years. Bowredden later admitted to his mother that he had lived with Sarah for a time, but claimed he had not married her. It is not known if Sarah claimed any children from this relationship.
When he married Pashie (Patience) Rieger (Klopfer) on the 4th of July 1873 in Sullivan County, Missouri, Bowredden stated that he had never been married before. The marriage license also reported a fictitious name: Benjamin A. Primrose.
Pashie apparently learned of the correct surname by 1880, because when she and son (James) Patrick were enumerated without Bowredden on the 1880 census as boarders in small town in Vernon County, Missouri not far east of Fort Scott, Kansas, she gave the surname Miller.
Pashie and Bowredden's children Patrick and Ollie were born in Missouri. Beulah was born in Arkansas, and many years later red-haired George August was born in Trinidad, Las Animas, Colorado. The 1900 census reports that Pashie had given birth to 7 children, but only 4 were then living. Ten years later, 8 childbirths were reported, but with only 4 living children, so apparently the 8th child also died young.
Bowredden visited his sister Polly in southeast Iowa for four days sometime around 1896, and probably also visited his mother in Illinois at the same time, but did not bring Pashie or any of their children with him. Pashie and Polly maintained a written correspondence from time to time.
While living in Trinidad, Colorado, Bowredden was publicly known as "Benjamin A. Miller," with that name appearing in city directories and on the 1900 census. Bowredden passed away on the 27th of May, 1901, and was buried in Trinidad. Pashie requested benefits on account of Bowredden's service in the Civil War. A headstone was placed, but the initial request for widow's benefits was denied due to Bowredden's post-war desertion.
Benefits were apparently authorized at some point, however, because at her death, Pashie had been receiving a monthly widow's allowance.

Christopher Oldenburg may be properly mentioned among those of the practical and successful farmers and stock-raisers of West Galena Township; he being the proprietor of the old Henry Cormith farm, located on sections 10 and 11 of what is now Rawlins Township. This comprises 160 acres of thoroughly cultivated land. with good buildings and a fair as sortment of live-stock. Prior to his purchase of this property, Oldenburg had been in the employ of Mr. Corwith a number of years; and later rented from him.
Mr. Oldenburg has been a resident of this county since 1854, in which year he emigrated to the United States with his brother Frederick; a biography of whom will be found elsewhere in this work,
He was born in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenbug, April 23, 1837, and was the third in a family of five children. He received a good education in his native tongue, and was a youth of seventeen years when he set out for America with his parents. They embarked at Hamburg on the sailing vesseI "Humboldt," which landed them seven weeks later in in New York City. Thence they came directly to this county, and our subject started out on his own account; employing himself as a farm-laborer a number of years. In the meantime he saved what he could of his earnings, lived economically and thus laid the foundations for his future property.
Our subject was married, at the farm which he now owns; Sept. 22, 1870, to Miss Lena List. This lady was born in what is now the German Province of Alsace, March 1,1850, Her father was a farmer by occupation, and the parents, although then under the doininion of the French Government, spoke the German language in their family. They also emigrated to the United States, in 1854 and first located in Menominee Township, this county, where the father secured land, upon which he labored until his death, in the year 1884, when he was seventy-two years old. The wife and mother is yet living, and is seventy-five years old; she
makes her home with her younger son, Jacob, in Menominee Township. Both she and her husband became identified with the German Catholic Church in their younger years.
Mrs. Oldenburg is the eldest daughter and fifth child of her parents, whose family consisted of four sons and two daughters. The children all came to America with their parents, and later all were married. One son, Christian, is since deceased, leaving a wife and family. The eldest living is Adam, who married Miss Mary Anner, and is farming in Menominee Township; John to to wife Mis Barbara Meyer, and they live on a farm near Cramville, Iowa; Jacob occupies the old homestead in Menominee Township; he married Miss Lena Smith; Abbie is the wife of Theodore Galey, and they reside on a farm near Alden, Iowa. Mrs. Oldenburg recieved a fair education, and as she grew to woman-hood became familiar with all usefull household duties; remaining under the home-roof until her marriage. She is now the mother of seven children, namely: Henry, Frank, Christ, Mary, Lena, John, and Albert. They are all at home with their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Oldenburg are connected with the German Lutheran Church; and our subject, politically, supports the principles of the Republican party. | Oldenburg, Christian (I863)

The first high sheriff of Green County was Nathaniel Owens. He was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect He was a man of untiring perseverance and industry, and acquired considerable wealth. He bestowed great attention to the education of his children, sent them from home to the best schools, and occasionally employed in his family a private teacher for their instruction. He was among the earliest pioneers to Green County, and participated largely in the hardships which the first settlers had necessarily to encounter. He was thought by many to be selfish in his disposition, and like the old
woman, who, after keeping house many years, bought her a tea-kettle, and determined from that period that she would
neither borrow or lend. He was a close, economical, money making man, but punctiliously honest in all his dealings. He
dispensed but little, if any, of his property to his children in his life-time, but they and their descendants received it all
after his death. Mr. Owens acted for a time as justice of the peace, and also as a judge of the Green County Quarter Session Court previous to 1801, when the Circuit Court system was established. Mr. Owens lived to be eighty odd years of
age, and died about the year 1846, at his residence, on Little Brush Creek, where he lies buried. | Owens, Sheriff Nathaniel (I28984)

Obadiah Pettit (Will Book 6, page 55, Fauquier Co., Va.) was from Somerset Co., NJ; his mother was Jane Furman Pettit. Her will, filed under her maiden name, is in the Somerset Co., NJ records (Vol. 5 NJ, Wills, 193-4, NJ Archives). The will dated 12 Dec. 1770, proved 1773, names sons, Obadiah and Zedekiah. These brothers migrated to Culpepper Co., Va. about 1770; Obadiah sold his land there in 1776 and bought land in Fauquier Co., Va.
Francis Waldron (sometimes misspelled Walden) married 12 Oct. 1795, Fauquier Co., Va. Nancy Ann, daughter of Obadiah Pettit and his spouse, Ann H. (probably Hedges). Shortly after their marriage Nancy and Francis Waldron moved to Brooke Co., Va. (now W. Va.) with two sisters of Nancy and their families: Mary Pettit Roberts and Spouse Richard; Elizabeth Pettit McDaniels, spouse, Joseph. In 1811 Francis and Nancy Pettit Waldron moved to Jefferson County, Ohio; she died there prior to 1833 and he in October 1835, in Bloomfield, Jefferson Co., where they were buried.
The will of John H. Pettit, dated 24 July 1830, proved 28 Feb. 1831, named wife, Catey and nephew John, son of Obadiah and Nancy A. Waldron (this will probably in Bloomfield Station, Jefferson Co., Ohio, is filed in Will Book 12, page 21, Fauquier Co., Va.) | Pettit, Obadiah (I30380)

Peter was just a boy about six years of age when the Friedrich Krebills arrived at Hayesville, Ohio early in 1834. The fact that Peter was so much younger than his brothers was to his advantage for he had the opportunity to attend English schools fork a longer period of time.
In addition to growing up on a farm with its many chores for the young, he also learned about operating a farmer's saw-mill.
Early in 1856, about seven years after the father, Friedrich, had died, and about a year before the mother Anna's demise, Peter Krebill and Magdalena Fox (Fuchs) were married. During this summer, Peter and his brother Jacob and their brother-in-law Christian Eymann, decided to move to the Franklin Prairie vicinity near Franklin in Lee County, Iowa.
In the fall of 1856 the brothers Jacob and Peter bought 120 acres of land about three miles due west from the Village of Franklin Center. However, Peter did not move to Iowa until the following spring after their first child, a daughter Anna, had been born. They left Hayesville in April of 1857 and like his brother Jacob and Christian Eymann did on the previous fall, Peter traveled by covered wagon and team. They arrived on the 13th of June and moved into a log cabin which stood on a forty- acre tract, a part of the 120 acres which the brothers had acquired the fall before. About a half mile north from the new Zion Mennonite church, a lane extended eastward to the Peter Krebill's cabin.
The wives of Jacob and Peter were non-mennonites. There seemed to have been some conversation among the church dignitaries to the effect that the wives should be required to be baptised before being accepted as members. However, in view of the fact that both of them had been baptised in protestant faiths, Peter warned the Mennonites that they would prefer to join another church if they insisted that this was mandatory. Fortunately the Mennonites accepted the wives as members without any reservations.
Peter Krebills lived in their log-cabin until they moved into another one when in 1865 Peter purchased about 50 acres of land in the south-west quarter of the adjacent section 19. His home on this newly acquired place stood just one mile west from his brother Jacob's place. In 1867 and 1869 Peter added two more tracts of land next to his first 50 acres. In 1883 he purchased still another piece of .farm-land which gave him title to the entire south-west quarter of section 19.
He also owned two wooded tracts across the road from his farm in Harrison Township which brought his holding up to about 200 acres. Peter followed a diversified type of farming, specialized in horse and cattle breeding and operated a grain threshing rig for many years. At first he used a horse-power and later a steam engine to run the grain separator.
The following pages contain excerpts from letters which Peter Krebill wrote from Lee County, Iowa to his brother John Grabill at Hayesville, Ohio.
These letters were written over a period of years from the time when Peter first arrived in Iowa in 1857 to the time of his brother John's demise in Ohio
in 1887.
The full text of these letters may be found at the Musselman historical library at the Bluffton College in Bluffton, Ohio.
John S. Grabill, Hayesville, 0. July 5, 1857, Franklin Center, Iowa.
The Jacob Krebill and Agnes Eymann families are all well. We arrived here on June 13th. We moved Agnes into one of Mrs. Strohm's
houses west from the church. I left brother Henry at brother Abraham's place. He said he would be traveling towards Peoria, and would write me when he found
a job. I have not heard yet. I went with Fred Fuchs to Montrose on the sixth. Goodbye
Peter Krebill.

David Risser offered to sell his eighty acre farm to sister Agnes Eymann and take her house at Franklin in trade. He asked $27/00 an acre and offered $672/00 for her house. Agnes bought the land. It is described as the west half of the northeast quarter of section 29 in Franklin township.
I sold my iron gray horse for $170/00 to John Rupp, a brother-in-law of Reinrich Hirschler. Brother Jacob bought the roan mare for $150/00 without an argument. Today was the first day of the three day fair at West Point.
Tell Fred Fox (Fuchs) I will write him before long.
Your brother Peter Kreebill.

John S. Grabill, Hayesville. January 18, 1868, Franklin Center.
The last one of two letters from you came from Philadelphia.
I got first premium on the large horse and second on the colt. Pork is worth $3/50 to $3/75, corn 15$, or 20# at Keokuk. I often think of the time when you took your first trip to the west, when we were all gathered around the table. Mother would say in german, "I wish John would come and eat some now."
Now you are there and the rest of us are scattered from here to Pikes Peak! We had hoped to see Henry last fall but have not seen anything of him yet.
Your brother Peter Krebill.

John S. Grabill, Hayesville. June 1, 1868, Franklin, Iowa.
John Hertzler and wife have been here. After they got back to Burlington he found the garden plow and he took it to their shop. He will send it to us as soon as possible. I still keep their plows here for sale. I sold my stallion to John Haffner, a son of Fred Haffner, for $300/00.
I have 50 acres of small grain and 50 acres of corn. Our Anna had a letter from brother Abraham's little girl.

We did not hear from Henry all summer, if we do hear from him we will let you know right away.

John, Edward and Laura are still in school. Little Freddie is only three years old.

I would like to hear that you are feeling better. Perhaps next summer you may feel like visiting us again.
I am feeding 23 steers. Our son Henry will start out for himself next summer. He rented a farm about a mile north from the Dover crossroads. So
by next year there will be four out of our eleven children out on their own. We haven't heard from brother Henry yet.
Peter Krebill.

John S. Grabill, Hayesville. January 1, 1887, Primrose, Iowa.
Happy New Year! As I wrote the date I thought of the time fifty years ago on a new years day how you taught me to write the new date. It was on that big old chest by the old cook-stove.
Henry will marry a daughter of John Lowenberg who lives close to the church, and are preparing for their home by spring-time.
"Nephew Samuel'; Looking at the picture of your four children, that little girl standing by the tree reminds me so much of the little boy I used to see riding the dog around the house!
Tell them to be kind to their grand-pa when he is sick.
Peter Krebill.

John S. Grabill, Hayesville. January 17, 1887, Primrose, Iowa.
I miss your letters so much since you are not able to write.
For the past thirty years we have exchanged letters every year. On the 23rd of this month brother Jacob's daughter Charlotte and Elias Weber are to be married. Then on the 30th our Lena and Emil Leisy are to be married.
"Dear nephew Samuel"; Our Freddie wants to tell your boys Howard and John the little speach he gave in school:
"If older boys can make a speach
we.little boys can too
And though we may not say so much
Yet here's a word for you.
This world's large and full of room
There is a place for all
The rich, the poor, the wise, the good
The large as well as small
So give the little ones a chance
To show off what they know
And shun us not because we're small
For little boys will grow
Your uncle Peter Krebill.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Samuel H. Grabill, Hayesville, 0. March 13, 1887, Primrose, Iowa.
Dear Nephew;
I did not get around to answering your last letter before we received the sad news af your father's death. At the time Laura and Freddie were down with the measles and I could not leave at such a time to attend the funeral. At such a time one wonders "Why didn't I go and see him while he was still alive?" "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, even so saith the spirit, for they rest from their labor."
Emil and Lena Leisy live in Kansas now. Henry and Elise moved on to their farm last Tuesday. Katharine Latschar and Henry Sander are to be married next Sunday the 20th.
Well, Howard; Freddie was delighted to receive your nice letter. Freddie's English school will be out this week and then he will go to German school again. If you were here you could learn to talk and write german letters. Last wednesday was Freddie's birthday and his mother baked a big cake for him.
Does your mother bake one for you on your birthday? When I saw her she was a little girl, I think about two years old.
I wish I could see you all for I like children when they are good and mind their mothers.
Peter Krebill.

ONE OF OUR FIRST CORRESPONDENTS PASSES AWAY
Donnellson, Iowa,
Nov. 19, 1928
Mennonite Weekly Review,
Newton, Kansas.
Dear Folks:
I am enclosing a clipping from our local paper giving an account of the death of Father.
I intended to notify you sooner but have neglected it until today. He has been your Correspondent from Donnellson, Iowa for a number of years. Will appreciate it if you will mention in your paper next issue any part or all of the Obituary.
Very truly yours,
A. D. Krebill.
(The Editor of the paper suggests that it would be fine for the above writer to consider that the mantle of his father has fallen
upon him and we expect to enroll him as one of our regular correspondents.)
F. H. Krebill
Frederick H. Krebill was born February 1, 1849, in Ashland county, Ohio, where he spent his childhood days. At the age of eight years he came with hi parents to Lee county, Iowa, where they settled on a farm 2 miles northwest of Donnellson.
At the age of 14, he was baptized and confirmed and taken in as a member of the Mennonite church, to which he remained faithful and active member until death.
He remained on the farm with his parents until he was 21. In the year 1871 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rings, and established their home on a farm about mile west of Dover where they lived for a number of years. Their next home was on a farm west on Franklin where his brother Joseph now lives.
In the year 1882, after a lingering illness, his helpmate was called to her heavenly reward. Of their six children, three preceded their mother in death. Mr. Krebill, then was left with three small children, two sons and a daughter, to mourn the loss of a beloved wife and mother. Clara, the daughter, passed away in 1897 at the age of 16 years.
In 1883 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rings, a cousin of his first wife. This union was blessed with seven children, one of whom died in infancy. Soon after their marriage they moved to the old home place northwest of Donnellson where they made their home until Mr. Krebill retired from active farm work. In 1916 they moved to Donnellson where he spent the remainder of his days, passing out of this life on Wednesday morning, October 31, 1928, at 9:30 o'clock, at the age of 78 years and 9 months.
Surviving Mr. Krebill are his faithful wife and children, Albert D., Edwin J., Mrs. Lottie Lowenberg, Otto C., Emma L., and Mrs. Lizzie M. Neff all of Donnellson; also Elmer of Rothiemay, Mont., and Wm. F. of Davenport. He is also survived by 27 grandchildren; one brother, Joseph, and two sisters, Mrs. Jacob A. Krehbiel of Donnellson and Mrs. Amanda Krehbiel of Cooperton, Okla. His parents, brother William, and two sisters, Mrs. Nancy Seyb and Mrs. Charlotte Webber preceded him in death.
Mr. Krebill was an active member in church and Sunday school, which latter he served as superintendent and teacher for many years. He also served for several years on the board of directors of Bluffton college. He was always ready and willing to help in all community affairs, serving as state representative from this district and always taking an active part in Red Cross work. Never did he fail to have a kind word for everyone with whom he came in contact. By nature he was self-sacrificing and always endeavoring to do something for someone else in his cheerfulness, helpfulness and goodwill.
His true religious life, and influence, will ever be stepping stones to a better and higher endeavor to live lives consistent to the memory of a devoted husband, a true-hearted father and grandfather; a real friend and a worthy neighbor of our community.
He spent and was spent
For truth and for right;
He gave up his best--
He fought the good fight.
Funeral services were held from the home and from the Zion Mennonite church Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. E. Kaufman. Pallbearers were: A. D. Krebill, E. J. Krebill, O. C. Krebill, Wm. Krebill, sons, and A. B. Lowenberg and B. J. Neff, sons-in-law of the deceased. Interment was in the Mennonite cemetery.

A Tribute to the Life Work of the Late F. H. Krebill
E. C. Lynn, Lee County Superintendent of Schools, and for many years a close friend of Mr. Krebill and co-worker with him in many community projects, very kindly wrote the following summarized account embracing many of the important things the late F. H. Krebill helped do for his community.
In the passing of Mr. F. H. Krebill, Donnellson and the surrounding neighborhood has lost a very valuable citizen. The span of his life covers so many years of usefulness, and the service he rendered was put forth with so little of the spirit of egotism that the community is apt to fail to grasp the real significance of his life of service. When we consider his long and useful life, the thoughtful person cannot help but ask, "Who can fill his place in the ranks of useful men in our community?"
Mr. Krebill was a good citizen. He was a good and progressive farmer. He was a good justice of the peace -- township trustee -- township clerk -- and town clerk. He served with credit in the 34th Iowa general assembly as a representative from this district, and he had much satisfaction in the results of the high school tuition law which he helped to frame and which opened the doors of the high schools in this state to many a farm boy and farm girl.
F. H. Krebill was the last of the original organizers of the Lee county fair. He served as director and treasurer for many years and as he grew older his interest did not waver. When the fair was recently reorganized, he was the first subscriber for stock and at the last annual program he took his usual pleasure in managing the exhibits in the art hall.
In 1906, when the Lee county farmers' institute was organized, Mr. Krebill was again in the front ranks. He helped make the organization, and for the 14 years of its existence, served as a
member of its executive committee.
When the World War came on, and Lee county was asked by the federal government to organize a farm bureau, Mr. Krebill's was one of the first three names on the required petition, and he has been a steadfast member of that organization up to the time of his death.
As to relief work and Red Cross work, we all know the part he has taken so well that it is not necessary to recount these activities.
Possibly no one came nearer summing up the life of Mr. Krebill than did Mr. J. J. Tigert, Commissioner of Education of the United States, who after having been entertained at the Krebill home, remarked, "I have been well fed and well entertained in a real America home. I have gained a new vision of retired farmers. I now know that a man can grow old and retire from active business without losing interest in his community with its young people, its schools and its churches."

RESOLVED WALDRON
AMSTERDAM, NEW AMSTERDAM
(c1620-1690)
Late in 1654, two brothers, Joseph and Resolved Waldron, emigrated with their families from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New York. The older of their children were believed to be born in Amsterdam.
Resolved Waldron was first married in Amsterdam in 1645. His marriage record indicates his birth in Amsterdam was ca 1620. His actual birth date is the subject of dispute by genealogists. Amsterdam records also indicate that Resolved’s parents were William Waldron and Ruth Walker. (William born ca. September 20, 1589.)
It is generally accepted that Resolved’s parents came to Amsterdam from the parish of Goodworth, Clatford in England and that William Waldrons’s parents were John and Joan Waldron of Wherewell, Hampshire, England.
Ruth (Walker) Waldron, Resolved’s mother, was purported to be born about 1595 in Marked Overton, Rutland, England, the daughter of Edward Walker. Ruth married William Waldron in Amsterdam, August 19, 16l5. It is believed that William and Ruth Waldron died prior to 1639. Their children were: 1. Joseph, b. ca. 1617, married 1st Aeltze Hendricks, 2nd Annetze Daniels 2. Resolved, b. ca. 1620, married 1st Rebecca Hendricks, 2nd Tanneke Nagels.
Resolved’s first marriage to Rebecca Hendricks took place in Diemen, a suburb of Amsterdam on August 20, 1645. She was baptized in Amsterdam on November 5, 1627. At the time of his marriage, Resolved’s occupation was given as a book printer apprentice. Rebecca died between January 2, 1652 and April 23, 1654.
Resolved’s second marriage was to Tanneke Nagels in the New Church in Amsterdam, May 10, 1654. At the time Tanneke was 30 years old and from Groningen, Holland. Her parents were deceased by then.
As mentioned above, the brothers Joseph and Resolved Waldron immigrated to New Amsterdam during the last half of 1654 or possibly early in 1655. On April 3, 1655 they bought a house on Broadway near Wall Street. On May 3, 1657, Resolved Waldron was made a burgher of New Amsterdam, and on May 25, 1658 he was made provost and deputy sheriff.
He continued as deputy sheriff until 1664. At the time of the British conquest of New Amsterdam in 1664, he signed an oath of allegiance to the British. Later he moved to the village of Harlem, in upper Manhattan, where he held several public offices. He was a magistrate there in 1673 at the time of the Dutch reconquest at which time he signed the oath of allegiance to the Dutch. He was a patentee of Harlem in 1686.
He died in 1690. An inventory of his estate being taken on May 17, 1690. Tanneke Nagels survived, and died after November 25, 1690.

GEORGE P. HARVEY.-The subject of this review is one whose history touches the pioneer epoch in the annals of Kane county and whose days were an integral part, of that indissoluble chain which linked the early, formative period with that of later-day progress and prosperity. He has borne an important part in the upbuilding of this section of the state and his name deserves an honored place among its prominent pioneers. He is now living at No. 208 Kimball street.
Mr. Harvey was born December 22, 1816, in Ontario county, New York, a son of Joel and Polly (Bennett) Harvey. On the paternal side he is of English descent. His great-grandfather was Medad Harvey, while his grandfather was Joel Harvey, Sr., a farmer by occupation, who removed from New Hampshire to New York at an early day, locating near Utica, where he died at the age of seventy years. Our subject's maternal grandfather spent his last days in Herkimer county, New York.
Joel Harvey, Jr., was a native of Massachusetts, but spent the greater part of his early life upon a farm twelve miles east of Utica, New York. He married Polly Bennett, a native of Connecticut, and they became the parents of six children, who grew to man and womanhood. Four are still living, namely: George P.; Emily, wife of Paul R. Wright, of Santa Barbara, California, Sarah, wife of Major W. M. Taylor, of Chicago, Illinois; and Joel D., of Geneva, Illinois. The father was a blacksmith by trade. In 1835 he came by team to Illinois,'accompanied by all the members of his family with the exception of our subject, who made the trip by water, as their goods were shipped in that way. They were followed by their faithful dog, who was very watchful of their possessions, not permitting a stranger to touch anything. The dog considered all Indians his enemies. The family arrived in Kane county in October, 1835, at which time there were only two log houses on the present site of Elgin, one on either side of the river. The father took up a claim of three hundred acres in the northern part of the town of St. Charles and improved and cultivated the place until his death, which occurred in 1840, at the age of forty-six. He took quite a prominent and influential part in public affairs, served as treasurer of Kane county for one term, was justice of the peace several years, and held various township offices. He was a soldier of the war of 1812, and was always a loyal and patriotic citizen. His estimable wife long survived him, dying June 10, 1872, at the age of seventy-four.
Mr. Harvey, of this review, was reared eight miles west of Syracuse, in Onondaga county, New York, on a farm, and completed his education in the academy in Baldwinsville. He was nineteen years of age when he came to Illinois, and in 1837 he purchased a farm of his own in Kane county, containing three hundred and twenty acres, which he improved and cultivated until his removal to Elgin, in 1848. Here he has since made his home with the exception of two years spent upon a farm in Elgin township. He built a large warehouse on the east side of the river for the Northwestern railroad in 1850-51, and had charge of the same for a number of years, storing all kinds of goods and grain. Later, in partnership with George W. Renwick, he engaged in the manufacture of threshing machines.
On the 13th of November, 1839, Mr. Harvey married Miss Mary L. Burr, a daughter of Atwell and Betsy (Wheeler) Burr, who came to Kane county from Pompey, Onondaga county, New York, in the spring of 1836, and first settled in St. Charles. Later they removed to Campton township, where they purchased land and continued to make their home until called from this life. They were of English descent, and Mrs. Burr was born and reared at the foot of the Hoosac mountains. Mr. Burr also aided in the war of 1812, and died about 1851.
Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, four sons died in infancy. The others are as follows: Charles M. enlisted in the Seventh Illinois Infantry, under the first call for three-months' men, and after the expiration of his term re-enlisted in the Plato Cavalry, his company being first assigned to the Thirty-sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and later to the Fifteenth Illinois Cavalry, serving as first lieutenant of Company B. Re-enlisting again as a veteran, he served until the close of the war. He was with Sherman's army on the celebrated march from Atlanta to the sea, and was once slightly wounded while carrying dispatches. He married Clara E. Conger and lived in Waco, Texas, at which place he and his wife and daughter all died. Welford W. makes his home on a ranch near Buffalo, in Wyoming. He married Mrs. Mary E. Orr, by whom he has one son, Ray Phelps, and she has two daughters by her former marriage-Minnie and Nellis. Cecil C. was formerly a successful teacher for a number of years, but for the past fourteen years has been librarian of the city library of Elgin. Mary E. is also at home. Estelle E. is the wife of William Freck, a machinist and inventor living in Chicago, and they have three children-Florence, Howard B. and Margaret Loraine. Illione is a writer in an insurance office in Chicago. The wife and mother passed away September 19, 1895, when almost seventy-eight years of age. She was a member of the Universalist church, which her husband also attends.
With Mr. Harvey resides his aunt, Mrs. Emily (Harvey) Ainsworth, who in 1843 came to McHenry county, Illinois, but later spent a short time in Missouri. On her return to this state she located in Richview and subsequently removed to St. Charles, where she had three sisters living, all now deceased. For the past twelve years she has made her home in Elgin, and is now eighty-eight years of age.
Mr. Harvey has ever been one of the popular and prominent citizens of the county, and in early life took quite an active and influential part in public affairs. In-the fall of 1854 he was elected county treasurer, and two years later was made alderman of the third ward of Elgin, serving in that capacity for six years. Subsequently he filled the office of assessor of Elgin township for two terms. He also served as internal revenue assessor for Kane county two years. From 1860 until 1862, he lived on his farm, but in the latter year returned to Elgin, where he has since continued to reside. For sixty-two years he has been identified with the interests of the county, has seen almost its entire development, as on his arrival here the Indians were far more numerous than the white settlers and most of the land was still in its primitive condition. He is now the oldest member of Kane lodge, I. O. O. F., with which he has been connected since 1851. Although eighty-one years of age he is still well preserved. Nature deals kindly with the man who abuses not her laws, and although his business cares have been extensive age rests lightly upon him. It is safe to say that no man in Elgin has more or warmer friends than George P. Harvey.

"George W. Springer" was enumerated in the 1840 U.S. census for South Haven, Van Buren County, Michigan. He was head of a household of 6 individuals, including himself. His household included one male age 30-39 (George, age about 38), on female age 20-29 (Loisanna, age about 28), two females age 5-9 (Louisa, age about 8; and Sarah, age about 6), and one female and one male under age 5 (Phebe, a newborn; and Van Renselaer, age about 1).
"He and his family came to California in 1852. Along the way, he kept a journal, which has been transcribed by Kevin Engle and Blanche Stroop. The journal is dated from 6 April 1852 to 1 December 1852. The wagon train started in Niles, Berrien County, Michigan. From there, they traveled along the emigrant route to Salt Lake City, then headed south to the Cajon Pass. The last leg of their journey was by steamer from southern California to Sacramento."

GEORGE SCHLECHT.
George Schlecht is one of the prosperous farmers of Jackson county, owning one hundred and two acres on section 22, Washington township, which is a neat and well improved property. He has other business interests in the township and has taken some part in the public affairs so that he may well be classed among the representative citizens of the community.
He was born in Bellevue, Iowa, June 22, 1870, his parents being Joseph and Frances (Menger) Schlecht. The father was born in Germany and came to America as a lad of nine years with his parents. They located in Bellevue, Iowa, and as soon as he was old enough Joseph Schlecht began work as a farm hand, being thus employed at the outbreak of the Civil war, when he enlisted in the Union army, serving until the close of hostilities-a period of four years. When the nation no longer needed his aid he returned to Jackson county, Iowa, and again engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was almost forty years of age, however, before he was in a position to buy land, his first purchase being one hundred and sixty acres in Washington township which he cultivated successfully until 1898. In that year he sold all but forty acres to one of his sons and removed to an adjoining farm of one hundred and two acres, which he had bought in the meantime. After operating it for a year he sold it to his son, George, and for five years thereafter lived in retirement in Bellevue, going thence to Crawford. Oklahoma, where he took up a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres, it remaining his place of residence to the present. He has now reached the ripe old age of seventy years and yet is active in supervising his various interests. His wife, who was Frances Menger in her maidenhood, was likewise a native of Germany and came to Iowa as a child. She died some years ago at the comparatively early age of forty-nine years.
Eight children were born to Joseph Schlecht and wife, seven of whom are living, as follows: Frank, a farmer of Washington township; Sophia, the wife of Henry Eggers, who is engaged in agricultural pursuits in that township; Anna, who is living in Bellevue; Clara, the widow of a Mr. Knowles, formerly of Sabula; Lena, who is the wife of Benjamin Daggets, of Bellevue; Mary, the wife of William Schmidt, of the same city; George, the subject of this sketch; and Katherine, who died at the age of twelve years.
George Schlecht, who was the seventh in order of birth in this family, attended the district schools of Washington township in pursuit of an education in the winter months and through the summer season worked upon his father's farm. He remained at home until he reached the age of twenty-four years, when he started to make his way in the world independently. For two years he worked as a farm hand and then secured employment as a member of a section gang on the railroad for four years. In 1896 he returned to agricultural pursuits, renting a tract of one hundred and seventy-five acres of land, which he operated in partnership with another for two years. At the end of that time he bought from his father the farm of one hundred and two acres where he now lives. When he purchased the place there was only a dwelling upon it, and he has since built a large barn and other outbuildings and a new windmill, the character of his improvements indicating his good management and progressive spirit. The greater part of his land is under cultivation, some being reserved for pasturage for stock, however, and by reason of his unwearied industry and perseverance he has gained a gratifying measure of success in the conduct of his agricultural interests. He holds stock in the Washington Township Farmers Mutual Telephone Company and is connected with other enterprises which look toward advancing the welfare of the community.
On the 8th of February, 1899, Mr. Schlecht was married in Sabula, to Miss Katherine Pogeman, a daughter of Herman and Anna (Gerlach) Pogeman, both natives of Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Schlecht have become the parents of two daughters: Anna Irene, born April 19, 1901, and Mary Alverta, born March 28, 1908. The parents are members of the Catholic church of Green Island and are recognized as persons of genuine worth. Mr. Schlecht is a democrat in his political views, and his fellow citizens, recognizing his ability, have called him to the office of township trustee. Although still a young man he has gained a large measure of success in his business, and this may be regarded as indicative of the good fortune which he will win in the future.

"History of Montague: a Puritan Town"
"In 1757, that difficult and delicate task of seating the meetinghouse was entrusted to a committee of nine, divided
into three sets or subcommittees. Each set was to seat the house by themselves in the first instance, and
then compare notes, the committee as a whole to adjust the differences. We may imagine the fancied slights and
heartburnings which the committee's work produced, however wisely they acted; Mrs. Samuel Harvey, perhaps,
complaining because she had been assigned a seat inferior to that given Mrs. Lieut. Clapp, and others making
similar criticisms without end. Too poor to buy a bell, the people voted to hire Lieut. Clapp's "conk" shell to
be blown as a "sygnall on the Sabbath day," and it was afterwards purchased by the town for one pound and ten
shillings. It exists to-day, a treasured relic, in the hands of Deacon Richard Clapp. | Harvey, Samuel (I23442)
