So he went up to see him but grandfather was out of doors and he with the rest of us he did not think he was any was dangerous, and I went up to his house at noon and he got up out of bed and ate quite a hearty dinner then I left to go where I am boarding and teaching school about 2 miles from grandmothers and uncle went to town, so about 4 in the afternoon he stepped out of doors and Mary Snyder went out pretty soon afterwards and found him lying dead by the end of the house.

He served as associate judge of that county, and as a representative to the state assembly in 1823.

Diveley was born in Berlin, April 4, 1840 and was the last surviving member of the pioneer resident of Berlin, Martin Diveley. With his elder brother Charles A. Diveley he enlisted in Co. C the 54th Pennsylvania volunteer infantry as a musician and served throughout the war, being taken prisoner with the rest of the regiment at High Bridge, Va. four days before Lee's surrender at Appomattox. He was mustered out with his surviving comrades at the close of the war, and with his brother, Charles, located in Meyerdale and made his home with his brother and wife, remaining single all his life. He was known to the entire population as "Professor" Diveley, many years of his life having been devoted to school teaching. He was a man of good education and kept abreast of the times intellectually by varied and constant reading. He as exceedingly conscientious in his work and all of his dealings. As a teacher he ranked among the best of his time in the local educational field, having taught a number of terms in Meyersdale and surrounding townships.

After retiring from the teaching profession, he served as Borough Assessor for a number of years and was
17

noted for his good judgement in fixing real estate values and his justness in equalizing assessments. He traded some in real estate and was a good business administrator. Professor Diveley had all the instints of a gentleman and was courteous and kind in his contact with his fellow citizens. He was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and his advice and counsel were sought by many people in trouble or distress. He was generous and sympathic and helped many a needy person or worthy cause, but was never prodigal or wasteful of his substance. Although an ex-soldier and patriotic to a high degree, he did not parade his patriotism and never joined the Grand Army organization, although he was usually regarded as a member of the G.A.R. He was a member of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Funeral services will be conducted by his pastor Rev. J. Luther Frantz at the Diveley homestead on Main Street, at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and will be buried with military honors. He was aged 83 years, 11 months and 26 days. Since the death of the Diveley brothers, there are only four Civil War veterans left in Meyersdale. They are Dr. H.C. McKinley, M.A. Rutter, Peter Albright and John Stacer.

32. JOHN3 HINER (CATHERINE2 DIVELY, JACOB1) was born Dec 1788, and died in Ripley County IN. He married CATHERINE HUBBLE. She was born 1792. Notes for JOHN HINER: Dear Mrs. Reon Engleka February 22, 1965 All that I know about the Dively family is that Catherine Dively married Henry Hyner in 1784 in Washington
25
county, Md. I have not been able to find out the church in which she was married in. It may be that one of her brothers lived in Washington county, Md. I was at Hagerstown court house and checked the records there for Hiner but didn't check for Dively so I might of missed something there. I find that Henry Hinor lived just north of Unionton, Pa. in the 1790 census. Still the church records for 1790 say that his children were baptised at Berlin in December 1790, so it could be that they moved to Berlin in the later part of 1790. Here is what I have from the descendents of John Hiner a son of John and Catherine Dively Hiner, born 1788 it said that John lost his parents very early in life and that he was put out with a farmer until he reached the age of 21, the agreement was that when he reached the age of 21 the farmer was to give him a horse and wagon, and this was done, John took his horse and wagon and preceded west to Ripley county, Indiana, this happened before 1820. He married Catherine Hubble, whether he married her in Pennsylvania or Indiana I have not been able to learn, he would have been 21 years of age in 1809, so he probably married his wife around Berlin, Pa. and then moved west to Indiana. Jacob Hiner was their last child born 1790, he was a veteran of the War of 1812, he served in Capt. Lane's company from Somerset Co. Pa., he was buried at Berlin. If Jacob Hiner was their last child then Catherine his mother must have died either at his birth or right after, that may be the reason for Henry to move back to Berlin, so that the children could be ith her relatives. I have checked the records at Somerset Courthouse for Hiners, but at that time knew nothing about the connection with the Dively, so if one would check for Dively and Hubble maybe one could come up with something interesting, I must do that sometime. I do have a run down on the Heiner family found in "Annals of Southestern, Pa. Thanks for calling my attention to them. I can't say to which family Catherine Hiner belonged to, but seeing that she had two sons Johannes and Jacob I would say that these names are either taken from her father or brothers. Well I will keep on looking and should I run into anything will surely let you know, and I hope you will do the same for me. Sincerely Charles M.

But he would planted it is gone, and who will plant a willow or an ash- a weeping ash over his grave.

daughters to mourn his sudden demise. The subject of this obituary was immersed into Christ early in life, and has been connected with the Church of Christ ever since. The funeral services were conducted by Elder H.A. Harrison, in the church house at Nashville, on Lord's day, October 8, 1882. More About GEORGE DIVELEY: Burial: Nashville Cemetery in Darke County Ohio Record Change: 06 Mar 2002 Notes for ELIZA JANE BUCHANAN: OBITUARY Eliza Jane Diveley (Buchanan) was born in Montgomery County, Ohio, June 3, 1815. She gave her young heart to the blessed Savior in her seventeenth year under the preaching of that able and eloquent man Joshua Swallow and by him was immersed into Christ, from that time till her death she was never known to falter in her faith in the blessed Christ. She was the mother of four children, three daughters and one son, all of whom survive her. Her husband George Diveley, preceded her to the spirit land nearly ten years, to whom she was united in marriage on March 8, 1841 and settled on the farm in Darke County, Ohio, near Greenville where she lived until the day of her death. She held her membership in the Carnahan Church. She was faithful in her attendance when she could be there, having been an invalid for many years. She died on the 30th day of May, 1892, aged 77 years, 4 months and 27 days. So another aged disciple has passed to her reward. The writer addressed a large congrecation at Nashville, from wence her body was carried to the beautiful cemetery nearby and laid besides the remains of her husband to wait the resurrection morn. She was a constant reader of the Review. May the children, as well as all of us, trust and serve the God and Savior in whom she trusted, that it may be well with us well at his coming.

He married ELIZABETH RESINGER 06 Sep 1825 in Somerset (Somerset County) Pa.. She was born 12 Oct 1803, and died 31 Jan 1891 in Connellsville (Fayette County) Pa.. Notes for JOSIAH KURTZ:
41
Josiah, son of Judge John Kurtz, was born in Somerset borough, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, in October, 1801, died in Connellsville, in 1895, aged ninety-four. He attended the subscription schools of that day and acquired a good education excelling in mathematics and at penmanship. He learned the business of hat manufacturing with his father, remaining at home with his parents until 1825, when he located in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. After a year he returned to Somerset, was married, and with his bride settled permanently in Connellsville, where he continued the business of hat manufacturing until 1860, setting his own kettles, makng his own blocks, and selling about all the hats worn within a radius of five miles of Connellsville. He also made silk hats, a business which he picked up without any instruction. He sold his goods in neighboring counties also, but around Connellsville everybody wore "Kurtz" hats. When local trade got dull he would load a boat with hats, paper, plows and hat bodies, and float them to a market down the river to Cincinnati and Louisville. A large feature of his business was in woolen hats which he made for Pittsburgh wholesale merchants who sold them in slave states. He also dealt heavily in furs. In 1860 he turned over his hat business to his son John M. and formed a partnership with Henry Shaw and engaged in mercantile life most successfully for several years as Shaw & Kurtz. Their safe was blown open and robbed one night of several thousand dollars, which so crippled the firm that it dissolved. Soon after he formed the firm of J. Kurtz & Sons, doing a general mercantile business. He was much in public life. He was burgess of Connellsville, serving two years at an early day; was justice of the peace 1856 to 1866; was appointed notary public by Governor Pollock, but declined the commission. For many years he was school director and member of the town council. He was a Democrat, later a Whig. He was a strict temperance man, and a member of the Total Abstinence Society. He was originally a Lutheran, but there being no church of that denomination at Connellsville he united with the Methodists. He was one of the most active and influential men of his town. He filled many offices of trust, settled estates, was executor, administrator, guardian and referee, times innumerable. He married, in 1826, Elizabeth Reisinger, of Somerset county, and for over
42
fifty years he never failed to make an annual trip to the old home in Somerset county with wife and children. Four of their sons were volunteer soldiers in the Union army during the civil war. William was never seen or heard from after the battle of Fredericksburg, and is supposed to have been killed in that battle; William Kurtz Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of Connellsville, is named in his honor. Henry was a member of Kurtz & Freed, of Connellsville; Samuel was a tinner; Ellen a milliner, member of Porter & Kurtz; Christine married Worth Kilpatrick; Caroline married J. D. Stillwagon, and lived in Virginia. Joseph M. is of further mention. John M., the oldest son, was born 1826, and was a lifelong business man, citizen and official of Connellsville. He filled the office of burgess just fifty years after his father had held that same office. He was notary public for many years; a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows half a century; trustee and treasurer of the Methodist Episcopal church; served in the civil war; married, 1850, Kate, daughter of Joseph Keepers. (Ill) Joseph M., son of Josiah and Elizabeth Kurtz, was born in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, October 22, 1833. He was educated in the public school, and began business life as a clerk in Connellsville. Later he engaged in mercantile business for himself, and after several years withdrew to become clerk in the FirsJ National Bank; was promoted teller, assistant cashier, finally cashier, a position he held many years, also holding the office of vice-president. He was prominent in city affairs, as all by this name have been. There were but four Republicans or Whigs elected burgess of Connellsville during the half century, 1850 to 1900, and of these three have borne the name Kurtz. Josiah, a Whig, elected 1850; John, elected 1882; and Joseph B. Kurtz (2), elected 1893-94, and in 1900. Joseph M. was a member of King Solomon Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and a past master; he also was an Odd Fellow, a member of the Presbyterian church, and a Republican. He learned the hatter's trade in youth, but never followed it, and also mastered the dentist's profession, but mercantile and banking were more congenial to him and were his leading occupations. He married, in Connellsville, October 5, 1861, Martha Jane, daughter of Dr. James and Caroline Johnson Cope, all born in Fayette
43
county. Dr. James Cope was one of the first dentists to practice in Connellsville. He made several trips to California, one in 1849 with the gold seekers. He died in Connellsville aged over eighty years. Children : C. W., James E., Carrie E., Albert B. (of further mention), George Clarence, Frank, deceased.

A few days before, the aged resident took suddenly ill with a vomiting spell that quickly wasted the healthy but long-tried life vigor and he passed away without a struggle. His death was one to cause deep regret among all inhabitants of this vicinity. Years always add prestige to a life: when add to a charecter of high merit and an honest business purpose, they give honor. It is a sad office tax the memory with the perservation of an esteem once strengthened from day to day with the living presence, for the memory's burden lightens, and death, is a sorry ban to active honor. Temperance, kindness, thrift, sociability and long in indulgence of years have made his portion of creation a pleasant knowledge to his many descendants. Deceased was born in Somerset, Pa. in October,1801 being the oldest resident in town. he attended the ordinary pay schools of that day, excelling in Arithmetic and writing. He learned the hatting business with his father and worked with him until he was twenty-four years of age when he located in Connellsville. In about one year he returned to Somerset and married Elizabeth Reisinger and with his young wife returned to Connellsville, where he has since resided, living on the same site for 70 years. He engaged in the making of hats with his brother-in-law the late Judge Gebhart and remained in business until 1860, setting his own kettles, making his own hat blocks and everything needed in the business. He also made silk hats, without a teacher or instructor from anyone and for
44
years sold nearly all the hats within five miles of Connellsville, as well as for many of the surrounding counties. He frquently took a boat load of hats, paper plows hat bodies etc. down the river as far as Cincinnati and Louisville. He dealt extensively in furs both foreign and domestic. He was engaged in several business enterprises in his early days: was a partner in the old paper mill, located about three miles south of the town on the Youghiogheny river, and was also connected with the paper mill in New Haven. He was also a partner in the firm of Gebhart, Freeman and Company who operated a foundry in the old Methodist church, now occupied by the Catholic parochial school. Messr. Gebhart and Kurtz wanted the ground on which J.M. DuShane resides, for the purpose of erecting a foundry, but abandoned their plans and bought the old Methodist church. For fifty years he annually visited Somerset with his wife and children, making the trips overland accross the mountains. Deceased held all the offices within the gift the gift of the people of Connellsville. He was elected Burgess in 1831, and fifty years later his son John, was elected to fill the same office. J.B. Kurtz the present incumbent, being a grandson. Deceased was also Justice of the Peace two terms. the terms beginning in 1856 and again in 1866. His first vote was cast for John Q. Adams and his second for Andrew Jackson. In religion he was originally a Lutheran.

54. JOHN CHARLES3 KURTZ (CHRISTINA2 DIVELY, JACOB1) was born 22 Feb 1805 in Somerset (Somerset County) Pa., and died 23 Feb 1889 in Waynesboro (Franklin County) Pa.. He married SUSANNA ANAWALT 25 Aug 1829 in Somerset (Somerset County) Pa.. She was born 11 Dec 1809 in Somerset County Pennsylvania, and died 16 Feb 1889 in Waynesboro (Franklin County) Pa.. Notes for JOHN CHARLES KURTZ: JOHN C. KURTZ GONE TO REST In the last issue we announced the death of Grandmother Kurtz, we little expected to be called upon today to record the death of her aged husband, but providence has so willed it. He died on Saturday evening last, February 23, 1889, just one week after the death of she who for more than three score years been the partner of his life; the sharer of his joy and sorrows, both in prosperity and in adversity. His grief over her loss was all-consuming; during his wakeful hours he talked of nothing else and his fitfull sleep was filled with dreams, which caused him to wake with a cry of anquish. His heart was broken and he felt that the last bond which held him to earth as gone.
47
He at once began to fall and so rapid was his decline that he was unable to attend the funeral, that night he took to his bed and three days later he as cold in death. John C. Kurtz was born in Somerset, Pennsylvania February 22, 1805 and therefore aged 84 years and 1 day, During his life in Somerset he held the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens, as is evidenced by the following brief statements of his public life. He served three years as treasurer of Somerset County, seven years as associate Judge, sitting part of the time with Jeremiah S. Black and five years with ex-Judge Kimmell of Chambersburg, who but recently expressed an opinion concerned Mr. Kurtz's judgement of which any man might well feel proud. He also served two terms as Justice of the Somerset Boro. He was a delegate to the Pittsburg National Convention that nominated William Henry Harrison in 1840 for the Presidency and to the Baltimore Convention in 18__ that nominated Henry Clay. In 1865 he removed to Auglaize County, Ohio where his son then lived. A few years later he was appointed as Assisant Revenue Assessor for Auglaize. He held this position until it was abolished, in 1875 he removed to Waynesboro. In the prime of life a prosperous hatter at Somerset. He did a large business in wholeselling at Pittsburg and points on the Ohio River and in his old age enjoyed the fruits of his honest toil. In those days he was a high strung active man-- in both business and politics, he was the moving spirit in the county militia, and an accomplished fencer, a leader in local politics he was widely known and sought after by the Whig politicians of his time. Socially he had no superiors and was sought after by all knew him.

81. ABRAHAM4 BURKET (BARBARA3 DIVELY, JACOB2, JACOB1) was born 06 Mar 1842 in Claysburg (Blair County) Pennsylvania, and died 01 Aug 1923 in Claysburg (Blair County) Pennsylvania. He married CATHERINE MAUK 16 Dec 1866 in Claysburg, Blair, Pennsylvania.. She was born 10 Dec 1844 in Claysburg, Blair, Pennsylvania., and died 26 Sep 1927 in Claysburg, Blair, Pennsylvania.. Notes for ABRAHAM BURKET: For eight years he served as postmaster in Claysburg, Pennsylvania. He was a member of company G, Eleventh Pennsylvania Calvary for more than four years during the Civil War, being mustered out as a lieutenant. For many years he was a member of the Claysburg Reformed Church.
ABRAHAM BURKET General merchant and representative of Claysburg, Pa., who has been indentified with the interests of this place since 1870, was born in Blair County, Pa., March 6, 1842, and is the son of David and Barbara (Dively) Burket, and grandson of Samuel Burket, who was a very early settler in hat is now Greenfield Township, Blair County. Abraham Burket was seven years old when his father died. He was reared in Greenfield Township and obtained his education in the public schools and when the Civil War broke out had scarcely yet decided what his life work should be. In August, 1861, he enlisted for service, entering Co. G, 11th Vol. Cav, which became part of the Army of the Potomac. This was but the beginning of four years of Army life, for, after the expiration of his first term of enlistment, he re-entered the same company and regiment and received his honorable discharge. He had enlisted as a private and through bravery and valor was promoted and was mustered out as a second lieutenant. He participated in the battles of Ream's Station and of Suffolk and fought in twenty-two sharp engagements. He was also employed in the dangerous service of scouting and although he took hazards innumerable and faced every kind of danger, he survived to return home practically unharmed. He subsequently embarked in the mercantile business and in 1870 established himself in Claysburg where he is one of the oldest continuous business men. For a long time he served as postmaster but has never been eager for political office. His interest in the public schools led him to consent to serve as school director in Greenfied Township, where he also held the office of constable for a time. Mr. Burket was married to Miss Catherine Mauk, a daughter of Paul Mauk, a former prominent resident of Claysburg, and of their children, the following survive: Paul W., who is a resident of Claysburg; Howard, whose home is near Philidelphia; Watson E. who is in the mercantile business in Claysburg; Edward M., who is a farmer in Greenfield Township. Charles E. and George I, both of whom reside in Claysburg; Homer A., who is a law student in the Michigan State University at Ann Arbor, Mich.; and H. Claude, who also resides in Claysburg. Mr.

The news of his death will be received with sincere regret and sorrow today by his scores of intimate and personal friends. Mr. Dively last fall was named as one of the attorneys to defend the Wendt brothers on the charge of murder. He entered into the duties of the court's assignment with vigor. It was in the midst of his labors that he suffered a nervous shock and was compelled to remain at his home. He grew worse and a few days ago his condition became critical. There was a slight change for the better for a brief time yesterday morning, but later in the day he began sinking and passed away at the hour above stated. Edwin Leslie Dively was the son of Attorney and Mrs. Augustus V. Dively, of 1324 Twelfth avenue, this city. He was born and reared here. On completing his studies in the public school he went to Mercersburg college where he was prepared for his life's career. He gained honor and distinction there as a debater and also in winning several oratorical contests. Later he entered and was graduated from Dickinson Law school, Carlisle. He was admitted to the bars of Cumberland and Blair counties and immediately took up the practice of his profession in this city in the office of his father. He later practiced in Washington state and in western Pennsylvania. He returned to Altoona several years ago and became a partner of his father, Attorney A. W. Dively, under the firm name of Dively & Dively. During his career he showed marked ability both in civil and criminal law and was rapidly forging ahead in his profession. He enjoyed the respect and esteem of both the bench and the bar. The deceased was widely known in the city as an athlete. He was some years ago one of the better known amateur ball players and was a member of the old Monarch team, one of the organizations that will be remembered as one of the best that ever represented the city on home or foreign diamonds. He was the possessor of a generous and cheerful disposition, was a hale fellow well met and enjoyed the esteem of an extensive circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a member of the Reformed church. He is survived by his wife, his father and mother and
105

one sister, Mrs. William P. Beardsley, all of whom were at his bedside when the final summons came. The funeral arrangements will be announced later.

The meeting of the association will be held Saturday afternoon in the Second National Bank building, Eleventh avenue and Fourteenth street, when appropriate action will be taken on the deceased attorney. Edwin Leslie Dively was born in this city on April 21, 1878, and had practically spent his entire life here with the exceptions of a short time he practiced his profession in Washington state and also at Apollo, Pa. For the past six years he had been associated with his father in the practice of law under the firm name of Dively & Dively. He was married twelve years ago to Miss Myrtle R. Moore, who survives with his father and mother and a sister.

DIED, At San Deigo, Cal., February 27, Mrs. Anna D. Crowell, aged 47 years, wife of Howard R. Crowell of Columbus, Kan. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in this city yesterday morning. At the request of the deceased the services were very brief and consisted only of prayer, singing, readings from the scripture and a few remarks by the minister. BAXTER SPRINGS KS NEWS, March 5, 1892
The news of the death of Mrs. Anna D. Crowell, wife of H.R. Crowell caused a feeling of deep sadness in many homes in Baxter Springs. She was in many ways a remarkable and lovely type of womanhood, and during her long residence in this city had endeared herself to all whom she came in contact. while devoted to her husband, her family and her church, and following in a line of the strictest rules of propriety, there were none too poor or to low to receive from her the kindest expressions of sympathy, comfort and material aid. She was possessed of a most liberal disposition, a generous heart, and at all times and under all circumstances a cheerful spirit. Her christianity was not of the dark and gloomy sort, but fully up to the age in hich she lived, charitable and hopeful, bright with love and joy, filled with kind words and good deeds. Her loss will be severely felt, not only in her immediate family circle, but in the whole community, and although there is consolation in the thought that she, who has suffered so long and so patiently, is finally at rest and free from all pain we can but feel that one who was beloved by all has passed away forever and that her place with us cannot be filled BAXTER SPRINGS KS NEWS, March 5, 1892 More About JULIA ANNA DIVELEY: Burial: Baxter Springs Cemetery Record Change: 14 Feb 2001 More About HOWARD RANDOLPH CROWELL: Record Change: 22 Feb 2001 iii.

One daughter, Missouri. died in 1865 and her husband survives her. She was a loving wife, a perfect mother, a warm constant friend, virtues that crown her long, useful life when the grave opensto close her earthly record. No woman could ask a higher, holier purer judgment when her work here is finished and she passes to that thither shore whither we all hasten. Blessings follow such and the glory of the departed one pours its own sympathy into the aching hearts of the bereft. Suffering and sorrow with her have ceased. She rests assured in the love of the Father.

101. MICHAEL4 DIVELEY (MICHAEL3, MARTIN2, JACOB1 DIVELY) was born 08 Dec 1828 in Salisbury (Somerset County) Pennsylvania, and died 19 Nov 1901 in Kansas City (Jackson County) Missouri. He married (1) HARRIET SHERMAN 13 Sep 1860. She was born 1840 in Elmira, New York, and died 17 Mar 1880 in Kansas City (Jackson County) Missouri. He married (2) CORNELIA L. MCINTOSH 15 Jan 1885 in Will County Illinois. She was born 1843, and died 30 Apr 1920 in Kansas City (Jackson County) Missouri. Notes for MICHAEL DIVELEY: MICHAEL DIVELEY was born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, December 8, 1828. He was the ninth of a family of twelve children eleven of whom are living, the twelfth having been killed some ten years ago by the savages. The parents of our subject were Michael and Julia (Schwartz) Diveley and were natives of Pennsylvania of German descent. His father was a volunteer in the War of 1812, entering as a captain, but soon after promoted to lieuntenant colonel and subsequently to Brigadier-general. His grandfather Martin Diveley emigrated from Stuttgart in the kingdom of Wurtenberg, Germany in 1763, and settled in Baltimore county, Maryland. After receiving an academic education, Michael spent a year at Washington College, Pennsylvania, where he
121
took a commercial course. In 1855 he removed to Iowa City, Iowa and engaged for a short time in land speculation after which he opened a wholesale grocery store. He continued in this business until 1858, when he removed to Kansas City, Missouri. In 1862-63 Mr. Diveley was a member of the city council, and filled the office of mayor in the early part of the latter year, while the mayor, Mr. M.J. Payne, was in the state legislature. In 1867 he, in connection with several prominent men organized the First National Bank of Kansas City, and Mr. Diveley was chosen as its first president, a position he honored for six years, when he resigned and became one of its directors. He was oldest the president of the old Mechanics Bank of Kansas City for three years, and a director in the same for six years. In 1872 he was again elected a member of the city council and appointed chairman of the finance committee. While he was in that office he introduced a resolution providing for the investigation of the financial affairs of the city, which resulted in the discovery of frauds and defalcations amounting to nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In 1873 Mr. Diveley was commissioned by Governor Silas Woodson as the representative from the state of Missouri to the Vienna Exposition, and on that side of the Atlantic made an extensive tour through Europe. In 1874 he opened a wholesale commission house in Kansas City, under the firm name of Diveley and Company, which still (1878) exists, with a constantly increasing trade which has reached fair proportions. Among the many extensive establishments in the city, none stand higher in commercial integrity and reponsibility. Mr. Diveley is a member of the Board of Trade in Kansas City, and has been closely indentified with all interests of that city for twenty years. He was one of the first directors of the Cameron branch of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, and was instrumental, in connection with other enterprising men, in securing the Kansas City and Santa Fe Railroad, now the Ottawa branch of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad, being one the original incorporators. Mr. Diveley is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. He was a originally a Democrat, but at the commencement of the Rebellion took a decided stand in favor of the preservation of the Union, and has since generally acted with the Republican Party. He is very conservative, and seldom votes a sraight ticket, regarding personal integrity and qualifications for office of more importance than the than the shibboleth of party. September 13, 1860, he married Miss Hattie E. Sherman, of Elmira, New York. She is a distant relative of General Sherman and a lady of varied accomplishments and rare personal worth. In early life she manifested a decided taste for music, and her parents gave her every advantage for the cultivation of her talent. She received flattering proposals from professionals for the completion of her musical education in Europe, which she declined. Many of the church choirs in Kansas City are indebted to Mrs. Diveley for assistance. Mr. and Mrs. Diveley have one child, a son, sixteen years old, now attending school in Tarrytown, New York. Mr. Diveley is still in the vigor of life and the enjoyment of health. His beautiful home contains all that wealth can provide, and crowns one of the most desirable locations in the city. He is a sucessful man, some say a fortunate man. His labors are less seen than their results. He has accumulated in business an ample fortune. In social life he has a host of warm friends, and in his domestic relations is most happy. MICHAEL DIVELEY DEAD Somerset County boy who won distinction in Kansas City business and political circles. Michael Diveley, a pioneer merchant, the first Kansas City packer and first of the First National Bank, twice a member of the city council and prominent in both business and politics for many years, died at 1:15 o'clock Tuesday morning, the 19th inst., at his home, 616 West 10th street, in that city. He was near 73 years old, having been born in Somerset Co. Pa., December 8, 1828 of German ancestry.

Kansas City, Mo. March 31, 1905 Mrs. Margaret D. Welty Warren, Ill. Dear Cousin, Your letter of the 15 inst. was sent to me by Cornelia L. Diveley, my late brothers widow, with a request that I answer it as best I can, and it gives me much pleasure to respond to the best of my knowledge. In 1872 or 3, Mr. Frederick Snyder called on my brother Michael Diveley in reference to a legacy having been left to our family in
126
Wurtemburg, Germany. He in 1873 paid a visit to Stuttgart, which I believe is the capital city and found in the record book that John Jacob Deible had left that country in 1756 and located in Hagerstown, Maryland, where his remains still lie, his descendents emigrated to Lancaster Co. Penn. and from there am unable to tell where they all located. My father Michael Diveley his brother Martin Diveley and William Fletcher Diveley located in Somerset Co. Penn. and his brother John Diveley somewhere in Iowa. I also heard something about an Uncle Frederick, but never had him located until Frederick Snyder of Maryville, Mo. called on us in 1873. My brother Michael and I have been living in Kansas City ever since 1858, nearly 47 years. My brother Michael now deceased, at the age of 73. I will be 68 in June. About 25 years ago I met with the Rev. David Walk, who claimed to be a grandson of Frederick Diveley he purchased a piece of propery in Kansas City several acres which he had designed for a future home, but sold it during the Real Estate Boom during the 80's for enough to render him comfortable the balance of his days. You speak of the whereabouts of John Diveley, the teacher son of Martin Diveley, he is located at Meyersdale, Somerset Co. Penn. With my kindest regards I remain as ever. Your Cousin, Wm. M. Diveley 1112 Pacific St. Kansas City, Mo. P.S. John Diveley may possibly be able to give you a better account of the family.
Kansas City, Mo. May 25, 1905 Dear cousin, Your welcome letter of the 18th inst. was duly received and contents noted, and in reply would state that my brother Michael had one son from a former marriage, who is 44 years of age.

CHARLES OLIVER DIVELEY, b. 25 Aug 1869, Kansas City (Jackson County) Missouri; d. 29 Mar 1912, Kansas City (Jackson County) Missouri; m. UNKNOWN UNKNOWN. Notes for CHARLES OLIVER DIVELEY: CHARLES O. DIVELEY FOUND DEAD IN HOMEFormer Sanitary Inspector ProbablyAsphyxiated While Cooking.Figured in One Sensation.The appearance of steam on the windows of the house at 420 South Lawndale avenue, which he owned and where he went yesterday afternoon to see what repairs were needed, caused E. L. Woodard, 1133 State avenue, Kansas City, Kas., to investigate. After he forced the lock on the front door and entered he found the dead body of Charles O. Diveley, the former health inspector, who was tried and acquitted of second degree murder in connection with the death of Mrs. Fern Thompson on the night of September 16, 1910. Diveley was fully dressed and was lying across the bed. He apparently had been dead at least forty-eight hours. The gas was burning full blast in the stove and water heater and the entire house which was locked from top to bottom, was filled with fumes and steam.Dr. Harry Czarlinsky, deputy coroner, viewed the body and sent it to the Blackman Undertaking Company. Death was thought to have been caused from apoplexy. An autopsy will be held today.Dively lived alone, his wife having left him a week ago today. He had lived on Lawndale avenue about a month and worked as a laborer in the county garage at Independence.He was probably preparing a meal when he was stricken. A piece of steak was found burned to a crisp in a skillet on the stove. The table had been set and the coffee had been poured. Diveley was last seen alive Thursday when he called on some friends on Forest avenue near where he formerly lived.Mrs. Diveley, who left him last Monday morning after she fixed up a lunch for him to take to his work, has been keeping house for a widower and his two children in Kansas City, Kas. She took her daughter, Josephine, with her, but returned to their home about 7 o'clock last night to get some clothes she had neglected to take with her when she left. She was told of his death and went to No. 7 police station and made a statement to Lieutenant Johnson."He had been so abusive when he was drinking that I left him several times since we were married in 1910," she said, "it was impossible to live with him, but I intended to come back to him if he would only quit."Diveley had no children of his own and his only immediate relative besides his wife is one brother, J. E. Diveley of Excelsior Springs, Mo., who will arrive this morning.On the night Mrs. Thompson was killed, Diveley and his wife and stepdaughter lived at 589 Forest avenue. It was about midnight when a carriage stopped in front of the house and Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Hattie Jacobs and Herman Menick, a bartender, got out and came to the front door. Menick and Mrs. Thompson who were old friends of Mrs. Diveley before she was married, tried to persuade her to leave her husband and go wth them on a slumming expedition. Diveley who had retired, overhead the conversation and came to the door where he was introduced to the visitors.A quarrel started and Diveley went to his room and got a gun intending to drive Menick from the place. As he raised the gun Mrs. Thompson grappled wth him and it was discharged killing her instantly. Diveley walked to a telephone and notified the police. He made no attempt to leave the vicinity and was arrested within a block of his home. He was tried on a charge of second degree murder and acquitted by a jury. He lost his position as health inspector when the civil service went into effect.The Kansas City JournalKansas City, Jackson County, MissouriVol LIV, No 295, p1, c2Mon 1 Apr 1912 More About CHARLES OLIVER DIVELEY: Burial: Union Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri Record Change: 09 Feb 2001

He was born 14 Dec 1830 in Auma, Germany, and died 29 Apr 1918 in Salisbury (Somerset County) Pennsylvania. Notes for LYDIA DIVELEY: MRS. LYDIA DIVELEY HASELBARTH Mrs. Lydia Haselbarth, widow of the late Charles R. Haselbarth, died on Tuesday morning at the family residence on Ord street, Saturday April 27, 1918, two days before the death of her husband she was so unfortunate as to fall which resulted in the dislocation of her hip. She was confined to her bed ever since that date or for a period of ten months. Her general health had been as usual. The evening previous to her death her family noticed a decline in her condition. The end came very suddenly the following morning at 9:30 o'clock. Mrs. Haselbarth was the youngest of a family of thirteen she was born in Salisbury, Sepember 18, 1838, the daughter of Michael and Julianna Diveley. Of these thirteen children Mrs. Haselbarth was the last surviving one, the other brothers and sisters having preceded her to the spirit world. While she the youngest of the family yet she lived to be the oldest of them all. She was aged 80 years, 4 months and 24 days. The deceased was married to Mr. Charles R. Haselbarth on March 20, 1862, by the Rev. M.F. Pfahler. To this union were born seven children all whom survive, four sons, and three daughters, William R., Edward E., George C., Anna E., Mrs. Harriet Kretchman all of Salisbury, Mrs. Jennie Zobel, Washington D.C., and Dr. Albert L. of Mercerburg, Pa. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren. Mrs. Haselbarth was the oldest member of the Lutheran church. In early infancy she was baptized and was confirmed as a member of the church on November 5, 1853. For more than sixty-five years she was a faithful and devoted member of the church. She and her husband established a christian home and for more than fifty-five years were priviledged to live happily together in the beauty and joy of a christian household. She was the mother in the home where the principles of religion were taught and lived. She always performed her part of these christian duties and was privileged to see her children grow up in the church and become active workers in it. She came from one of the pioneer families of the community. She was of a modest and retiring disposition and was happiest when surrounded by members of her family. She was a kind and loving wife and mother. She was one who ruled well her own household and with a loving heart and willing hands ministered to her family. The following were her brothers and sisters, many whose children and grandchildren reside in this communty. Josiah Diveley, Mrs. Philip Glotfelty. Edward Diveley, Mrs. Samuel Livengood, Mrs. John Smith, Michael Diveley, Mrs. Gabriel Miller, Mrs. William Smith, Mrs. Peter S. Hay, Mrs. John Glotfelty, William Diveley and Cyrus Diveley. Funeral services were held today (Thursday) conducted by her pastor, Rev. Charles Lambert, short services were held at the home at two o'clock with burial at the Haselbarth plot at the I.O.O.F. cemetery. The funeral carriage then returned to the church where services were held. The large audience present and the many beautiful floral tributes testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. A good woman has gone out from our midst, a kind and devoted mother has been called away. Her memory is blessed. It would be truthfully said "She hath done what she could" The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sorrowing children. The family extend their heartfelt thanks for the kindness shown them by all friends during the illness and death of their mother. THE SOMERSET COUNTY STAR, February 13, 1919

With his family around him he sank into sleep, that sleep which knows no waking at his home in Sefton a few days ago. The subject of this sketch was born January 30, 1818, and died Saturday, July 8, 1893, age 75 years. Medical aid and kind friends did all they could do to restore him health, but in vain. The Lord said "Come up higher" and he willing answered the call, leaving a wife and several children weeping on the shores of time. For many weary days he suffered, while anxouis love ones ministered. But alas, that what he most feared came to pass, and the report, "he is dead" was soon spread around to the homes of his many friend. William Diveley, by honesty and integrity, has reared a large and respectable family, and sustains to himself a character of high repute. He was a strong believer in the Christian religion, and for many long years he was an active member of the church, always giving his earnings freely to the support of the gospel. Tin he funeral service was delivered by Rev. Davis at Liberty church,after which the remains were laid to rest, in the cemetery adjoining the church.

She was born 29 Jan 1839, and died 29 Jan 1913 in Davis County Iowa. Notes for WILLIAM J. DIVELEY: DEATH OF PIONEER William J. Diveley was born in Somerset Co. Pa. September 26, 1829 and departed this life March 6, 1914 aged 84 years, 5 months and 8 days. He was married to Hannah C. Jones in 1858 and to this union were born 7 children, James, Al, and Clinton, Frances Black, Maggie Parker, Dora Miller and Flora Glattfelter all who remain except James Diveley and Francis Black, who have gone on before. He bore his sufferings patiently until the Master said "It is enough" and called him home. He was a kind father, a good neighbor, and was a believer in Christ, brought up in the belief of the Lutheran church and was sprinkled in infancy, and said he was ready to die. In death a loving voice is hushed, and a vacant chair is left. And in the depths of sorrow we are emcompassed, it is only joy to know that the storms of life are over and a loved one anchored safe on the other shore, where storms of sorrows never come and where eternal life shall ever reign supreme. Funeral service where held from the Mt. Gilead church, conducted by Rev. J.S. Regains of Floris. Interment followed at the Mt. Gilead Cemetery. More About WILLIAM J. DIVELEY: Burial: Mt.

Welty Warren, Illinois In reply to yours of January 30th, I would say that I know but very little about my fathers family, grandfather Diveley emigrated from Pennsylvania to Iowa in 1845 his name was John he was a tanner by trade and a February 7, 1905
145

leather dresser he used to run a tanyard in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. I think his father was a tanner. Also grandfather had several brothers but I do not know what their names were. Grandmothers maiden name was Wolf. I think that grandfather was the only one of the family that came west. He had three sons and two daughters their names were William, Joseph, James, Caroline and Anna. William is still living he lives at Chequest, Davis Co. Iowa. I believe he is seventy-six years of age, now if uou would write to him I think he could tell you all about about our family, as he was sixteen years of age when them emigrated to Iowa, he would be likely to remember some things about the family. I have never heard of any Diveleys in the west excepting our family, our family was of German descent. Grandfather could talk the German language quite well. I am sorry that I do not know anymore about my ancestors, but I can't help it now. Father and mother have been dead several years and I have not seem uncle William for twenty years. I would be pleased to find some of my relatives. I have two sisters and several cousins, one sister lives near me, the other one in Kansas. My wife is in Kansas now to see her step father he is not expected to live but a short time. I will write to her and have her go and see uncle William and find out what she can about the family. Would be pleased to hear from you. Yours respectfully, John Diveley
Garber, Oklahoma, March 19, 1905 Mrs. Margaret D. Welty Warren, Illinois Dear Madam, your letter of March 7th at hand glad to hear from you. My wife went to see uncle William Diveley while she was in Iowa, but he did not remember very much about his old home in Pennsylvania. Grandfather lived in Indiana Co. at Blairsville on the Conomaugh River, the rest of his folks lived in Somerset Co. Pa. His fathers name was Martin and grandfather had three brothers and one sister their names were Michael, Fletcher, Martin and Polly. Well this is all I know about the family at present, but if I was to see uncle William perhaps he could tell me something more about the folks. Would be pleased to hear from you again when conveinent. Yours respectfully, John Diveley
The Cherokee Strip in Northwestern, Oklahoma was opened to settlers on September 16, 1893. Grandpa Diveley had selected a farm he liked a few miles south of Arkansas City, Kansas, it had running water on it which he wanted. He told us the night before the run he saw a man who wanted the same farm give a soldier who was patrolling the starting line some money and later the man slipped into the territory (a sooner) Grandpa went back to Iowa and I believe he came back to Iowa sometime in 1894 and bought 160 acres 3 miles south of Garber for $500. His unmarried sister Clarissa, came with him and also bought 160 acres for $500. My father was born December 9, 1885, I recall he was 8, when they came to Oklahoma. So I feel sure they came in 1894. My father had a sister, Ethel who was 3 or 4 years younger than he. Letter from Walter L. Diveley, Nashville, TN. to Michael L.

JOHN FLETCHER DIVELEY, b. 22 Jan 1864; d. 16 Sep 1876, Harrisburg (Dauphin County) Pennsylvania. Notes for JOHN FLETCHER DIVELEY: FATAL ACCIDENT In April last, we published the account of the death in Harrisburg, of a little girl named Dively, whose parents formerly resided in Hollidaysburg, by a blow from a base ball bat, in the hands of her little brother - the blow being accidental. The brother, who is aged about twelve years, met with a sudden and awful death on Friday week, the particulars of which to appear in the Harrisburg Patriot of the following day. It states that John C. Dively, the lad spoken of, son of William C. Dively, blew his brains out with a short musket at the residence of his parents, on Eleventh and Broad street. A short time before the tragedy young Dively had a dispute with a smaller brother as to which of the two should visit the neighborhood of the asylum, both manifesting a disposition to go. The younger brother slipped out of the house, when John asked a married sister, (the only inmate but him in the house) for his cap, that he might follow his brother. She replied that she would do as requested as soon as she had performed certain domestic work. While prosecuting the work she was startled by a loud report, and frantically rushing from the kitchen the ghostly spectacle of her brother lying dead on the floor, with the blood streaming from his head met her gaze. The skull from the forehead to within an inch of the base of his brain, was blown off, and the brains were scattered about in different directions. It is supposed the boy's curiosity led him to cock the musket which did the deadly work, and blow into the muzzle with a view to ascertain whether it was loaded. While thus engaged (probably having his foot on the trigger) the contents were discharged into his mouth. The musket was heavily charged, having been loaded a few days before by an older brother who had been out gunning but secured no game. An effort was made Friday morning to fire off the musket, but without success It was subsequently placed under a stairway, where the boy met with the terrible accident. The Coroner held an inquest, and a verdict of death by accident was rendered.

118. CHARLES AUGUSTUS4 DIVELEY (MARTIN3, MARTIN2, JACOB1 DIVELY) was born 19 Oct 1837 in Berlin (Somerset County) Pennsylvania, and died 22 Mar 1924 in Meyersdale (Somerset County) Pennsylvania. He married ELIZA STAUB 23 Oct 1866 in Somerset County Pennsylvania. Notes for CHARLES AUGUSTUS DIVELEY: TWO AGED CIVIL WAR VETERANS, DIVELEY BROTHERS, DIED AS THEY LIVED, VERY NEAR EACH OTHER. Taps sounded for Charles A. Diveley on his Old War Drum.
153
John F. Diveley survived his brother only a few days. Taps were sounded last Monday afternoon for Charles A. Diveley, veteran drummer of the Civil War, on the drum he beat all through the conflict from '61 to '65 in marching to battle many times as well as on parade, and many times since the war in muffled tones at the funerals of departed comrades and at memorial observances. At last came the day when he, too, answered the last roll-call and joined the bivouac of the dead, and then a drummer of a younger generation, Warren P. Holzshu, lightly tapped the old drum-head as a signal that the old gray-haired military drummer is now sleeping the sleep that knows no waking. By Charles A. Diveley's side all through the Civil War marched his younger brother, John F. Diveley, who shrilled the fife on the weary march, the gay parade, or on the field of battle, while brother Charles beat the war drum. The brothers were inseparable in life. When Charles enlisted as a musician to hearten the defenders of the Union with martial roll of drum, John did the same as a fifer. They came safely through the Civil War together and when Charles the elder brother married and settled down to lead a domestic life, John, who spent his whole life in single-blessedness made his home with his brother and the latters wife, and no brothers ever dwelt together more harmoniously. Happy Example of Filial Devotion They grew old together gracefully and serenely, happy in each others society and each willing to sacrifice for the other if needs be. It was always John's hope that as Charles was the older, he would be the first to cross the great divide, but he prayed that he might follow soon after. The frost of the years settled on the head of the elder brother first and he looked old and gray for the last decade or two. The raven hair of John retained its dusky hue, and in appearance he did not seem to be nearly as old as his brother, but during the last year or two his health began to fail and he became more decrepit than his gray-haired brother. Decrepitude, deafness and loss of sight came on apace for John, and for the last few months the relatives and friends of the two aged brothers were expecting the younger one to pass away the sooner. About a fortnight ago John's condition became alarming and he summoned his relatives to his bedside to bid them farewell.His vitality became so low that his death was momentarily expected during the last week of his life. But to the surprise of physician, family and friends, it was brother Charles that the grim reaper garnered first. Except for weekness in his legs, he showed no particular decrepitude, and he was up and about until last Friday night when his heart ceased to function properly and he passed peacefully away at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock on Saturday morning. Reunited in death Brother John, however, never knew Charles passed away, as his deafness and dimness of sight made it impossible to impart the sad news to him, although he seemed to be conscious at times. While John lay in the upper chamber, oblivious of the visitation of death to the home, funeral services' for Charles were held in the parlor below at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, and an hour later his body was laid in the grave in the family lot in Union Cemetery and "taps" were sounded over him on his old war drum. At 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the angel of death again entered the Diveley home and bore away the spirit of the remaining brother and so the brothers, who were so closely associated and devoted to each other through life, were reunited in the realm where war's alarum is never sounded by drum or fife. On Friday afternoon John's body will be laid to rest besides that of his brother Charles, and the old Civil War drum will again sound taps for another veteran who has joined the bivouac of the dead on fames eternal camping ground. Charles A. Diveley Charles A. Diveley was born at Berlin more than 86 years ago, and was the son of Martin Diveley, who during his lifetime was reckoned one of the leading citizens of the oldest town in Somerset County. Mr. Diveley came to Meyers Mills (now Meyerdale) in young manhood and learned the trade of a shoemaker in the shop of Samuel Foust, who died many years ago. For a number of years he conducted a shop for himself, but on account of the infirmities of age for the past several years he had been living a retired life. He lived to the age of 86 years, 5 months and 3 days having been born on October 19, 1837. He was united in marriage with Eliza Staub, a member of one of the oldest and most highly esteemed families of that day, and ever since their marriage they lived in the same house in which the bride was born mare than 79 years ago. But one child was born to this union, Harry J. Diveley who with his mother survives.
154
Other surviving relatives are two grandsons and one granddaughter, William P. Diveley, chief linotype operator in the office of the Meyerdale "Republican" Edward L. Diveley and Mrs. Harry Clements. There are also five great grandchildren- Paul R. Diveley, agent in Meyersdale for the Johnstown Tribune, Betty, Louise and William P. Diveley Jr. children of William P. Diveley, and Klare Diveley, son of Mrs. Clements. Answering the call of Abraham Lincoln for volunteers to put down the rebellion and save the union. Charles A. Diveley and his brother John, in 1861 enlisted in Co. C, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry, the former as a drummer, and the latter as a fifer, and served until the end of the war. Four days before the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, the 54th Pa. regiment was captured by the enemy at High Bridge, Va. it having been part of Grant's plan to impede Lee's retreat with prisoners and the 54th Pennsylvania having been one of the regiments designated for the sacrifice. Upon Lee's surender the prisoners were freed after four days captivity on short rations and Mr. Diveley recovered his snare drum which had been taken away from him by the rebels. He was granted permission to bring it home with him after being mustered out, and it remained until the day of his death his most precious relic. One of the heads in the drum at present is the same that was in it during the war, it never having been broken or replaced. Mr. Diveley and his war drum were a familar sight on the streets of Meyersdale until a few years ago when he became too feeble to march anymore. For nearly sixty years, however he turned out with is drum on every patriot occasion, especially Memorial Day and soldiers' funerals. He played his drum for the recruiting of soldiers in the war with Spain, and in the World War in his extreme old age, he turned out frequently with his drum to speed the boys on their way to the training camps and to welcome them home after the armistice. He also played at Liberty loan meetings and other patriotic rallies during the World War. Besides being one of the best known residents of Meyersdale. Grandpa Diveley was also one of the most universally esteemed citizens of the town. Ge possessed a sunny disposition, was kind and generous, and always looked on the bright side of life. A cheery friend and neighbor. He will be sadly missed by many who esteemed it a delightful privilege to be in his company and the converse with him. While a resident of Berlin in his young days. Mr. Diveley was a communicant in the Reformed Church, but after locating in Meyersdale, he united with the Lutheran Church. Rev. H.L. Goughnour, pastor of the Main Street Brethren Church, having been a near neighbor and close friend of the deceased, was asked officiate at his funeral, and did so, with the assistance of Rev. J. Luther Frantz, pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. After Rev. Frantz read the scripture lesson and offered prayer. Rev. Goughnour delivered a very beautiful discourse, recounting the virtues of Grandfather Diveley and paying a high tribune to his kindliness and nobility of character and pointing to a lesson from the scriptures of what must be a happy state in the spirit world of such a soul as Mr. Diveley possessed. A quintet of young ladies belonging to the choir of the Main Street Brethren Church sang several appropriate hymns. A detail of World War veterans- John N. Lint, Charles H. Younkin, Byran Ebbecka, T.A. McKenzie, Mahlon Bowser and William Daugherty acted as pall-bearers. At the cemetery M.C. Lowry post G.A.R. of which Mr. Diveley was one of the few surviving members, had charge of the cermonies, the ritual of the G.A.R. being performed by Commander H.C. McKinley and Post Adjutant and Chaplain M.C. Rutter. The dead march was played by the fife and drum corps composed of the veteran fifer and comrade of Mr. Diveley in the war. Peter Albright, and Drummers A.H. Johnson, W.P. Holzshu and George Kimmel "taps" being sounded by Mr. Holzshu on the deceased old war drum. Undertaker Joseph L. Tressler had charge of the funeral arrangements. There were many beautiful floral tributes.

WALTER CHAPMAN DIVELY, b. 31 Jul 1887, Pennsylvania; d. 16 Nov 1930, Washington DC; m. LAURA V. COLLINS, 06 Feb 1911, Washington D.C.; b. 1892. Notes for WALTER CHAPMAN DIVELY: WALTER CHARLES DIVELY "Duke" Dively's Death Due to Gas Fire Which Threatened Sheetz Home and Store Fatal to Sheetz Protegee Fire in the basement of Elie Sheetz's home and famous Martha Washington candy store at 505 12th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., early Sunday morning, Nov. 16th, not only threatened the destruction of the Sheetz establishment with its valuable historical relics and art treasures, but resulted in the death of Walter Charles Dively, better known as "Duke" Dively, a well known and popular member of Mr. Sheetz's household. The Sheetz store is usually kept open until midnight on Saturday nights, and some of the employees sometimes remain on duty for several hours longer in tidying up and getting things in shape for the next business day. It so happened that Mr. Dively and Richard Morris, another employe of Mr. Sheetz were in the store until 4 o'clock on the morning of the 16th inst. Smelling smoke about that hour they went to the basement to investigate the source of the smoke and found an oil-burning water heater used in supplying the Sheetz building with hot water, in a mass of flames. They got busy and apparently succeeded in extinguishing the fire and returned to the store on the street floor where they talked with Mr. Sheetz who had been roused from his bed by the alarm of fire and came down stairs to learn what had happened. While Dively and Morris were telling Mr. Sheetz about their battle with the flames the fire broke out afresh and seizing the fire extinguishers Dively and Morris returned to the basement and again subdued the flames. Again returning to the store, Mr. Dively resumed his conversation with Mr. Sheetz and while seated on a bench talking he complained of feeling ill and asked for a glass of water. After he drank the water that was handed to him he suddenly collapsed and fell forward unconscious. Mr. Morris rushed him to the Emergency Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Dr. A. MacGruder MacDonald, deputy coroner, who performed an autopsy, declared he found evidence of gas poisoning and expressed the opinion that the man died from the effects of inhaling carbon monoxide fumes while fighting the fire caused by the oil-burner. "Duke" Dively was born July 31, 1887, and was therefore past 43 years of age. He was a native of Berlin, which is also Elie Sheetz's home town. He had an attractive personality and was in Washington with Mr. Sheetz for about twentyfive years, the last few years as his employer's almost constant companion. He accompanied Mr. Sheetz on all of his trips and looked after his personal comfort. The dead man is survived by his wife, Mrs. Laura V. Dively and one daughter,
166

Miss Bernice Talent Dively; also by one brother, John Dively, of Meyersdale, who attended his funeral. Funeral services were conducted at 1 o'clock Tuesday, November 18th, in the double parlors of the Elie Sheetz home. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson of the Bethany Baptist Church, Mr. Sheetz's pastor, officiated. Mr. Sheetz showed his devotion for his deceased friend and protegee by having his body laid away in his private mausoleum in Rock Creek Cemetery, where the remains of Mrs. Sheetz repose and where Mr. Sheetz, too, expects to be at rest after his busy life's close.

135. HENRY L.4 HESS (MARGARET3 LINGENFELTER, MARGARET2 DIVELY, JACOB1) was born Abt. 1814. He married HANNAH BORDERS. She was born 1816. Notes for HENRY L. HESS: (Probable son of Samuel and Margaret Hess). 1820 to 1830 census records enumerate six boys and three girls living in the Samuel Hess household, but do not give their names. Deeds and other documents provide the names of five sons and two daughters: Daniel, Jacob, George, John L., Samuel, Catharine, and Margaret. Circumstantial evidence suggests that Henry L. Hess was the other son. In 1840 Henry lived in St. Clair Twp, Bedford Co, PA, adjacent to George Hess (Hest), who was a son of Samuel Hess. According to 1847 tax records of St. Clair Twp, Henry Hess, John Hess, and George Hess were tenants. The 1850 tax records list John Hess as a tenant and George Hess as a land owner in St. Clair Twp, but no Henry Hess. The 1850 census indicates Henry Hess had moved to Summerhill Twp, Cambria Co, about 25 miles away, and had neighbors Enos Ellis and Daniel Dimond. By the mid 1850s, George Hess moved to the exact same neighborhood in Cambria Co, and married a daughter of Enos Ellis. The 1860 census lists George (as well as brother John L. and sister Margaret) living near Enos Ellis and Daniel Dimond in Summerhill Twp, Cambria Co, PA; however, Henry L. Hess moved to Illinois shortly before the 1860
178
census. The following census records show the migration of Henry L. Hess. US Federal Census - 1840 (PA, Bedford Co, St. Clair Twp), 1850 (PA, Cambria Co, Summerhill Twp), 1860 (IL, Adams Co, Lima), 1870 (IL, Adams Co, Lima Twp).

136. DANIEL4 HESS (MARGARET3 LINGENFELTER, MARGARET2 DIVELY, JACOB1) was born 08 Mar 1815, and died 18 Oct 1870. He married SARAH VORE. She died Bef. 21 Sep 1850. Notes for DANIEL HESS: A contract between Samuel Hess and his son Daniel was written and witnessed on 5 Nov 1855 and recorded in Bedford County Court Records Book AG/547 on 30 Apr 1860. Samuel and Daniel agreed that if Daniel (who lived with his parents) would take care of all the needs of Samuel and his wife, Margaret, for the rest of their lives, Daniel would inherit their 150 acre farm. However, Daniel was to pay all Samuel's debts, including $100 to each of the other heirs of Samuel's estate, except Jacob and George who had already received their shares of the estate. Additional contracts recorded in Book AG/548-550 in April 1860 indicate that Daniel paid $100 to John L. Hess and his wife Sarah, $100 to Catharine Hess Killian and her husband Michael, and $100 to Margaret Hess Miller and her husband Eli. These contracts say that Samuel Hess died in the year 1855. It can be assumed that Samuel's wife, Margaret, died sometime between the Nov 1855 contract and the Apr 1860 payments to Daniel's siblings Will of Daniel Hess, 8 Oct 1870, Will Book 5, pages 25-26, Bedford Co, PA; Daniel Hess Estate Papers, 18700061, Bedford Co, PA; Samuel Hess to Daniel Hess, Deed AG page 547, Bedford Co, PA; US Federal Census - 1840 (PA, Bedford Co, Napier Twp), 1850 (PA, Bedford Co, St. Clair Twp), 1860 (PA, Bedford Co, St. Clair Twp), 1870 (PA, Bedford Co, Napier Twp).

Mr. Lingenfelter was born in Bedford county, Pa., January 2, 1816, and came to Jefferson county in 1838 when this part of the country was a dense wilderness, and cleared and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Wm. J. Smith, near Grange in Perry township. Being one of the early settlers in Jefferson county Mr. Lingenfelter could recite many interesting experiences of the hardships encountered by the pioneers of those days when the farmer was compelled to haul his grain across the mountain to Hollidaysburg to market. In 1866 he purchased and moved to a farm near Sprankle's Mills, where he continued to reside until his death. Mr. Lingenfelter was twice married, his first wife having died in 1863 and the second in 1892. He leaves a family of grown up children. In 1853 he united with the Methodist Church, of which he was a consistent and honored member. Funeral services were held at the Ebenezer Church on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 8, conducted by Rev. L. H.

Estill (1893 - 1978)* *Point here for explanation Burial:Prairie Lawn Cemetery WellingtonSumner CountyKansas, USA ON. WILLIAM J. LINGENFELTER, at one time a member of the State Senate and likewise a Representative, is now numbered among the most able men of this countyone who has been largely instrumental in promoting its best interests. Aside from his services as a public official, he has been quite extensively engaged in farming and makes his headquarters at a fine homestead, embracing three hundred and twenty acres of choice land in South Haven Township. He also has the same amount of land in Stafford County adjacent to the village of Hudson and an interest in another body of land adjoining St. John, the county seat of Stafford County. He is a man popular in his community, one in whom the people have confidence and whose ability as an official and whose worth as a citizen is universally recognized. Mr. Lingenfelter was born in Jefferson County, Pa., August 17, 1840. and was there reared to manhood on a farm. His parents were John N. and Catherine (Mank) Lingenfelter, natives of Bedford County, Pa., and born near Claysburg, in what is now Blair County, where they were married. In 1839 they removed to Jefferson County with their three children and there were subsequently added to the household circle eight more children, William J. being the eldest born in that county. The children and the father are all living, the latter continuing to reside at the old homestead in Jefferson County; the mother died there May 23, 1863, at the age of forty-seven years. She was a member of the Evangelical Church. The father of our subject was seventy-four years old January 2, 1890. He has been for many years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, one of its chief pillars and holding the various offices. Although a man of decided views and an ardent supporter of his party, he would never accept the responsibilities of office. The paternal grandfather of our subject was a native of Virginia whence he removed to Pennsylvania at an early day and was married to Miss Margaret Zeth, who was born near Hagarstown, Md. They reared their family in Bedford County, Pa., then removed to Jefferson County, in 1840, and there died at the ages of about seventy-six years each. Both were members of the German Baptist Church. An earlier progenitor of the family, George Lingenfelter, was a native of Virginia and a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was married in his native State to a Miss Dively who was born in Virginia and after rearing their family they removed to Bedford County, Pa., where they spent their last days. The father of George Lingenfelter was born in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany, whence he emigrated to America at a very early day and located in Virginia. Jacob Zeth, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was born in Hesse Cassell, Germany, and when seventeen years old joined the Hessian soldiery and thus made his way to America. While the boats were in waiting in New York harbor he swam ashore thus making his escape from the troops and joined Washingtons army, fighting on the side of the Colonists until the war was over. He was present at the battle of Yorktown and after the close of the war engaged in the mercantile business near Hagarstown, Md.. where he accumulated quite a fortune. He was there married to Miss Burgoo, a native of France, and born near the city of Paris. They reared a family of children and died in Maryland. The education of William J. Lingenfelter was conducted in a log schoolhouse, heated from a huge fireplace, with slabs for seats and desks and a floor of puncheon. When eighteen years old he began attending Strattonville Academy in Clarion County, Pa., where he pursued his studies one year. Afterward he was a student at Whitehall Academy near Harrisburg one year. He afterward went to the oil regions of Pennsylvania where he commenced drilling wells and remained for about eighteen months. Returning then to his native county he engaged as clerk in a general store and was thus occupied until 1863. The Civil War now being in progress Mr. Lingenfelter enlisted as a Union soldier in Company C, Two hundred and Sixth Pennsylvania Infantry in which he served about six months as a private. When leaving the army he again went into a store and was thus occupied until January. 1865. Then going to Tennessee he rented a large plantation and raised a crop of cotton and corn. His employers of the store had solicited him to go there, they furnishing all the money necessary and giving him one-third of the profits. Each partner thus realized about $800. Mr. Lingenfelter returned to Pennsylvania in December, 1865 and in March following emigrated to Missouri and purchased a farm in Gentry County. He also engaged in general merchandising at Riding City, remaining there one and one-half years, In the meantime he was elected Surveyor of De Kalb County, as his farm was on the county line and his buildings in De Kalb County. He resigned that office on account of ill health and later commenced teaching, which profession he followed until 1872. That year he came to Kansas and preempted one hundred and sixty acres of land on section 3 and later purchased eighty acres adjoining. With the exception of an occasional dugout, there were no settlers in this region at that time aside from a few who had located upon the present site of South Haven and Wellington. The buffaloes had been driven back, but three strays were killed in this vicinity in 1872. The nearest market was at Wichita and for a number of years the meat used by the settlers was chiefly buffalo, antelope and deer. Black and grey wolves (coyotes) were still plentiful and frequently made night hideous with their howling. Mr. Lingenfelter purchased three hundred and twenty acres of land about four miles east of Wellington where he lived until 1876, carrying on its improvement and cultivation. In 1876 he returned to Pennsylvania to visit his father and attended the Centennial Exposition. During his absence be was nominated for County
190

Superintendent of Schools, but he declined the proffered honor. However, he was declared the candidate and being absent was defeated, although running ahead of his ticket. Upon returning from Pennsylvania he resumed farming. In May, 1877, Mr. Lingenfelter was married to Miss Mary C, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Montgomery) Gregson. This lady was born in Fulton County, Ind. That same spring the newly-wedded pair settled upon the farm which has since been the family homestead. In the fall of 1882 Mr. Lingenfelter was elected to represent this county in the Kansas Legislature and served one term. In 1884 he was elected to the Senate, serving also one term of four years. He was earnestly solicited to accept the nomination for a second term, but declined. His party in this district in 1884 was in the minority more than seventeen hundred and the fact that Mr. Lingenfelter was elected against this, indicates in a marked manner his popularity with the people. To Mr. and Mrs. Lingenfelter there have been born three dauighters, viz: Rosa J., Mary C. and Susan E. One son born July 20, 1883, died October 6, 1886. He was a very bright and promising child and his death was a severe blow to the afflicted parents, to whom were extended the sympathies of the entire community. Mr. Lingenfelter is a liberal minded and public-spirited manone who has uniformly given his encouragement to the projects tending to promote the best interests of Sumner County, socially, morally and financially

It matters not into what station of life one is born in this free land of ours, all avenues of business, of political or of military life are open to the individual who has high ambitions, determination and enterprise. Mr. Bowser, who began life for himself at an early age, has steadily worked his way upward from a position of limited means to one of affluence, and to-day is numbered among the substantial farmers of Scott township, Sandusky county. He was born August 17, 1849, in Bedford county, Penn., son of Fred and Margaret (Fickes) Bowser, who, when our subject was five years of age, brought their family to Scott township, becoming pioneers of this locality. The father, who was a farmer and mechanic, was born in Bedford county, Penn., in 1824, and departed this life in January, 1872. His wife, who was born in the same county in 1823, still survives, and is now living in Helena, Ohio. They were the parents of seven children: George F.; Rosanna, who died at the age of twenty-four, and is buried by her father in the cemetery between Clyde and Green Spring; Jacob, a resident of Cowley county, Kans., who married Susan Fickes, and has nine children; Alice (deceased), who became the wife of John Goate, and the mother of two children; Barbara, wife of John Ward, of Helena; Daniel, who died July 17, 1873; and Maggie M., who is the wife of John Goate, and the mother of three children. The subject proper of this biography was a mere lad when he left his native State, and the greater part of his boyhood and youth was spent upon the home farm in the midst of the Ohio forests. Being the eldest child he
217

greatly aided his father in the work of clearing and developing the land, and as opportunity offered attended the district schools of the neighborhood. Before attaining his majority he learned the carpenter's trade, and at the age of twenty-six he went to Indiana, where he followed that pursuit two years. On March 10, 1874, Mr. Bowser was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Miser, born August 29, 1853, daughter of Samuel and Catherine Miser, who lived in Ohio in an early day, afterward removing to Indiana. The father, who was a farmer by occupation, was born in Ohio, in 1809, and died in 1883 in Indiana; the mother was born in 1813. Their family numbered ten children, namely: John, Peter, Susanna, Rachel, Catherine, Christian, Anna, Elizabeth, and Jacob and Mary, who died in infancy. Six children grace the union of Mr. and Mrs. Bowser, their names and dates of birth being as follows: Jacob H., March 10, 1875;Aaron, January 11, 1876; Curtis A., March 26, 1878; William, August 31, 1882; Maudy May, September 15, 1884; and Bertha, February 3, 1886. Since his marriage Mr. Bowser has resided upon the farm which has been his home, and made of the place a valuable property. His success is due to his own persistent efforts, and the able assistance of his estimable wife. He is a man of unfaltering energy and capable management, and justly ranks among the leading and progressive agriculturists of Scott township

BOWSER: PETER BOWSER, one of Gibsonburgs prominent business men, who, for twenty years has been associated with the National Supply Company, which ha its main offices at Toledo, Ohio, and at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and of which he is district manager, was born May 4, 1857, in Madison Township, Sandusky County, Ohio, and is a son of George and Rosanna (Fickes) Bowser. ' George Bowser was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, and came to Ohio in 1856. He bought a quarter section of land in Madison Township, Sandusky County, the northeast comer of Gibsonburg now standing on what was once his farm. At that time all this section was covered with woods or was under water, for lack of drainage, but through his own efforts he developed a productive farm here. He died in 1869 and was survived many years by his widow, whose death occurred in February, 1906. They were interred in the Gibsonburg Cemetery. Peter Bowser remembers attending school in a log cabin that stood, in his boyhood, on the present site of the Zorn-Hornung store and later he went to the higher grade schools which took the place of the primitive one. For two years after he laid his books aside, he worked at the carpenters trade and helped in the building of some of the first houses erected in Gibsonburg. For several years more he worked in a saw-mill and for two years was in the employ of the Gibsonburg Natural Gas and Oil Company and superintended the pu'tting in of their plant. Mr. Bowser then became identified with the Buckeye Supply Company, which was changed in January, 1896, to the National Supply Company, with which he has since continued. He is a stockholder in this enterprise and also in the Colonial Bank of Fremont, a stockholder and director in the Home Banking Company, of Gibsonburg, and also in the Gibsonburg Garage Company, of which he is president. ' On September 13, .1882, Mr. Bowser was married to Miss Anna R. Beegle, a daughter of Emanuel and Rebecca Beegle, of Bedford, Pennsylvania, and they have five children, namely: Goldie M., who is a successful teacher; Bertha E., who married Harry M. Bowlus, and has two childrenElizabeth and Josephine; Clarence E., Fleetie A. and Harry M., all of whom attend school at Gibsonburg, where the family has resided since 1882. In politics Mr. Bowser is a Republican. He has served both as a. member of the town council . and of the school board and at present is serv ing as a member of the board of public service. He has witnessed the wonderful development of this town and has had much to do with the establishment of its solid business enterprises and with its progress along many lines.

SUSAN FORD, 27 Jan 1869, Appanoose County Iowa; b. 1850. Notes for JACOB L. HINER: JACOB L. HINER, the proprietor of a neat and well kept farm on section 20, West Blue township, York county, is one of the men in whose coming to the state all good people of Nebraska might well rejoice. He has devoted his life to agriculture, and his career should teach the boys to stand by the farm. When he came to the state he had a span of old horses, and five dollars in money. Three of these dollars went to pay the cost of preemption and the other two bought eight bushels of corn. And from this exceedingly unpromising condition he has won a modest fortune. Mr. Hiner was born in Ripley county, Indiana, January 31, 1845, and was a son of George and Margaret (Funkhouser) Hiner. His father was a native of Indiana, but his mother came from Pennsylvania. They moved to Appanoose county, Iowa, in 1849, and settled on prairie land. She died there, but he lived until 1887, when he died in Nebraska. Jacob Hiner was born and bred a farmer. He attained his majority on the Iowa farm, and began a career for himself by working out among the neighboring farmers. He wedded Miss Susan Ford in 1870. She was a native of Vermillion county, Indiana, where she was born October 2, 1849. Her parents were Jacob and Catherine (Jordan) Ford, and her father was a native of Ohio, and her mother of Kentucky. He brought the family to Iowa in 1853, and died in August, 1897, at Exeter, Nebraska. Her mother is still living, and is tenderly cherished by her children and grandchildren. In 1872 Mr. and Mrs. Hiner came into Nebraska, and settled where they are now to be found. There beginnings were humble, and such as fitted in with the simple life of the community. For seven years they lived in a sod house, and in 1880 moved into their present comfortable and pleasing residence. In 1872 Mr. Hiner raised some sod corn, and the next year quite a crop of wheat. He rented a quarter section and raised corn on it. In 1874 he raised a large crop of wheat, and had the best intentions regarding corn, but the grasshoppers anticipated his purpose in that direction, and cleaned out the corn fields thoroughly. He now owns two hundred and forty acres, of which one hundred and eighty is under thorough cultivation. He carries on general farming, and is interested in Durham cattle and PolandChina hogs. Mr. and Mrs. Hiner have seven children now living. Mary Styer is the oldest daughter, is married, lives in Thurston county, and is the mother of two children, Elsie and Willard. John W., the oldest son, is unmarried. Minerva Lafferty has her home in York county, and is the mother of one daughter, Zelma. The other younger children are Clerinda, Nevada, Amy and Vertie. One child, Florence, died in early life. He and his wife are members of the Christian church, of which he has been an official and a devoted member for many years. He advocates free silver, and belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Exeter. He has. been road supervisor, and is a member of the school board of district No. 7. He is regarded as an honorable man, and is respected throughout the country More About JACOB L. HINER: Record Change: 05 Jul 2002

ix. LEANDER HINER TROUTMAN, b. 05 Nov 1858, Mt. Pleasant (Westoreland County) Pennsylvania; d. 1922, Tribbey, Oklahoma. Notes for LEANDER HINER TROUTMAN: Lee Troutman, the clerk of Burnett township, has served in this official capacity for three terms, elected in 1902, and his administration has been characterized with efficient service. Born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, near Mount Pleasant, forty-nine years ago, he is a member of a German family and a son of Isaac and Eliza (Hiner) Troutman, both of whom were also born in that state. There were nine children in their family, four sons and five daughters, but Lee and a sister are the only representatives in the west, her home being at Enid, Oklahoma. Lee Troutman was a boy of nine at the time of his parents' removal to Benton county, Iowa, where he was reared on a farm, and he was afterward in Missouri and Nebraska for a time. In 1881 he secured a homestead claim in Graham county, Kansas, on which he built a sod house and improved his farm of one hundred and sixty acres. While in that state, in February, 1890, he was married to Josie Newkirk, who proved an excellent helpmate in establishing the new home in the west. She was born in Clinton county, Iowa, but when nine years of age went with her parents to Graham county. Kansas, and was reared and educated in that then frontier settlement, attending a pioneer sod schoolhouse near her home. Her father, Abraham Newkirk, served in an Iowa regiment during the Civil war, and he is now living in Idaho, but her mother, Orpha (Gregory) Newkirk, died in Kansas. After a number of years in Kansas Mr. and Mrs. Troutman left their farm there to begin anew in the rapidly developing section of Oklahoma, and they first established their home on a partially improved farm in Pottawatomie county, but selling their land after a time they moved to Tribbey and built a home there. Mr. Troutman is an excellent contractor and carpenter, and commands a large trade in those lines. In their family are four sons and four daughters: Orpha, Goldie, Martha, Luther, Xewkirk, Ethel, Alfred and Le Roy. Mr. Troutman is a Socialist politically, an active worker for the party, and both he and his wife are earnest members of the Church of Christ.

On August 9th, Joseph Mosholder and his wife, two aged and highly respected people of Meyersdale, left for Akron, and other places in Ohio to visit relatives and friends, and to attend the Mosholder family reunion in that state. Last Friday night a telegram was received by friends, of the illness of Mrs. Mosholder. In those few words the community was led to believe that the condition was serious. Her sons left at once to be at the bedside of their mother. After they had left for Akron, another message was received apprising the community that Mrs. Mosholder had passed away. The remains were prepared and shipped, leaving Akron on Saturday evening at 5:00 o'clock, and while the remains were in transit to Meyersdale, the sons were hastening westward to her bedside, and somewhere along the line the trains passed, one going east with the remains and the other going west with the sons. The remains reached Meyersdale at noon on Sunday and the sons made their return Sunday evening. Hanna Caroline Wilhelmina Writtig Mosholder was born in Germany, February 4, 1848, and died on Saturday, August 23rd, aged 65 years, 6 months and 19 days. She came to America when she was a child four years of age. She was married to Joseph Mosholder on August 30, 1856, almost fortyseven years ago. To this union were born five children, three sons and two daughters. One son Charles died in childhood. She is survived by her husband and the following children: Emma Elizabeth married to George Bopp of Allegheny; Herbert F. of Rockwood, Florence E. married to Alexander Baer of Akron, Ohio, and Maurice A. of Meyersdale, and two sisters Zura Writtig and Mrs. Daniel Alt of Berlin. Mrs. Mosholder had strong religious convictions, and was most zealous in the cause of temperance, having been an earnest and active member of the W. C. T. U. of Meyersdale. As a neighbor she was highly respected and showed a deep interest in the misfortunes and sufferings of others. When she left home she was concerned about the health of her husband, but he in the providence of God was permitted to return home while she was summoned to the great beyond. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Amity Reformed Church. The funeral service was conducted at the Mosholder home on Beachley Street, by her pastor, Rev. A. E. Truxal, D. D. The trip was made overland to Berlin, where interment was made. Meyersdale Commercial, Aug. 28, 1913

185. SAMUEL4 FERRELL (ANNA MARIA3 DIVELY, GEORGE2, JACOB1) was born 30 Nov 1831 in Berlin (Somerset County) Pennsylvania, and died 27 Jan 1898 in Abonito, Puerto Rico. He married JULIANA MENGES. She was born 16 Dec 1834, and died 20 Dec 1900. Notes for SAMUEL FERRELL: Samuel Ferrell, who fourteen years ago deserted his family of Berlin is reported to have died on January 27th last at Abonita, Porto Rico. Captain Wheeler, of the U.S. Calvary, now in Porto Rico, learned that Ferrell was a member of the G.A.R. and communicated with the Post at Elk Lick, in order to learn the whereabouts of Ferrell's daughter, Isabelle Shultz, to whom the dead man desired his money should be fowarded. Isabelle Shultz is the wife of Mr. Perry Wahl, of Salisbury. SAMUEL FERRELL A telegram from Washington was received at Berlin last week annoucing the death of Samuel Ferrell, which occurred recently in Porto Rico, where he had been employed as a civilian teamster. About twelve or fifteen years ago Mr. Ferrell conducted one of the hotels in Berlin, from which place he took French leave, and at no time since did he ever write to his family. He had many friends and seemed fond of his family, which made his sudden disapearance a mystery. Several members of his family still reside in this county.

Bender Died in Berlin Wed., Dec. 11th William Henry Bender, Berlin's grand old man and Somerset County's last surviving Civil War veteran, answered his last roll call Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, but to the end he showed the same fighting spirit as when he enlisted with the "Blue" 77 years ago. He died at his home on North Street, Berlin, after an illness of several months. He was 95. Mr. Bender was born March 15, 1845, in Zanesville, Ohio, a son of George W. and Mary (Lehman) Bender.

He also served at Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Popular Grove Church, Mrs. Peeble's farm, Bessette's Church, Stony-Station and the seige of Petersburg. Mr. Bender's greatest thrill came when he was sent as a dispatch rider to President Lincoln. The warm handshake and a gaze at the Great Emancipator was a never forgotten experience. After the war, Mr. Bender returned to Berlin, where he resumed carpentry. His carpentry work was given to the construction of many homes now standing in Berlin, in addition to the building of several churches in the community during the latter part of the century. Until 15 years ago he was quite active in the trade he followed. Visited by Historians Mr. Bender was a source of abundant historical material and was visited by historians from all over the county. Mr. Bender attended all Memorial Day services until this year. Only in the spring did his condition weaken and the aged veteran suffered several relapses in recent months.

Bender, Berlin; Mrs. Hilda May Long, of Berlin; Mrs. Euclid R. Groff, Berlin; Mrs. Minnie Watkins, Clover; John P. Bender, Cumberland, and Miss Anna Bender, at home.

He married MARY BELCHER CHAMBERLIN 27 Mar 1859. She was born 18 Mar 1841 in Linn County Iowa, and died 06 Jul 1932. Notes for ABRAHAM SNYDER: ABRAHAM SNYDER. The subject of this notice is pursuing the honorable and peacefull occupation of a farmer,
281
on section 15 Washington Township. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan, 27, 1836, and is the son of George S. and Elizabeth (Dively) Snyder, who were
both natives of Pennsylvania. George S. Snyder was born July 4, 1804, and lived until about the year 1876, at which time he left his home to go on a visit, and was never seen or heard from afterward. The mother of our subject, Elizabeth Snyder, was born Oct. 9, 1799, and died Sept. 13, 1837. Her family was of German descent, and she was the daughter of Frederick Dively, who was born in Germany and came to America in early manhood. Soon afterward he married Miss Annie Miller, a native of Berks County, Pa. Of this union were born four sons and five daughters Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, George, Barbara. Elizabeth, Mary, Francis and Anne. The daughter, Elizabeth, was the mother of our subject, Abraham Snyder, and was the mother of four other children George W., Elizabeth A., and Martha, who died in infancy. Mary came to Iowa and died in 1859; Frederick is living in Maryville, Mo., and by profession is a lawyer; he has held the position of County Judge for several years. Abraham Snyder and Miss Mary B. Chamberlain were united in marriage March 27, 1859. Mrs. Snyder was born March 18, 1841, in Otter Creek Township, this county, and is the daughter of William and Rachel (Davis) Chamberlain, natives of Massachusetts and Indiana, respectively. Mr. Chamberlain was reared in Middlesex, Mass., and from here he went to Ohio, from which State he emigrated to Iowa, in 1830, and settling in Linn County, in L838, remained there for a space of over twenty years, when he peacefully passed away. He was one of the first white men in this county, and lived to see the remarkable changes wrought in what was only a wild territory at the time of his arrival there. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain became the parents of six children, as follows : Mary B. (Mrs. Snyder), Laura, Lucy, Davis, Lowell and Izanna. Seven children came to bless the household of Mr. Snyder and his wife, to whom they gave the following names: Simon W., Lawson E., Ulysses A., Eva M., Minnie, Arthur .1. and Davis C. Mr. Snyder is the possessor of a line farm of 200 acres, which he has brought to a high state of cultivation, and he is also interested in the breeding of Shorthorn cattle and Jersey Red swine, which latter he is making a specialty. Socially Mr. Snyder is a member of the Legion of Honor, G. A. R., Denison Post No. 244. His re282
ligious tendencies are with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which society at Center Point he has long been a prominent member, a f eacher of the Bible-Classes and Superintendent of the Sundayschool. In early years he was a teacher in the district schools, and has done much toward training the ideas of the younger members of the community, and enabling them to become good and worthy citizens. He has been a resident of the Hawkeye State since 1855, and at the breaking out of the Civil War enlisted in Co. A, 31st Iowa Vol. Inf., being mustered in at Davenport. The first movement of his regiment was toward the city of St. Louis, whence they proceeded to Helena, Ark., and on to Vicksburg. With his company he participated in thirty-two skirmishes and general engagements, including the siege of Vicksburg, and was present on the memorable 22d day of May, 1863. Although receiving several very close calls, he fortunately escaped injury, never receiving a wound. He was with Sherman on the march from Atlanta to the sea, and endured, with his comrades, all the hardships and privations incident to that remarkable journey. He performed all the duties of a soldier bravely and faithfully, and at the close of the war received an honorable discharge, beingmustered out at Louisville, -Ivy. He received a severe sunstroke while in the service, from which he never fully recovered, and on account of which he now receives a pension. He is spending his latter days quietly and peacefully, often reviewing the scenes of his early youth and his soldier life, talcing satisfaction in the consciousness of a wellspent life, believing that at its close he shall receive the reward of the faithful. A lithographic view of Mr. Snyder's property will be found on another page of this work.

Lawson E. Snyder, of Onida, is vice president of the Farmers Bank, owns the Onida Telephone Company, holds title to a section of excellent land in this state and is also vice president of the First National Life Insurance Company of Pierre. The prominence which he has gained is due solely to his energy, astuteness and unswerving integrity. He was born in Linn county, Iowa, on the 1st of October, 1861, of the marriage of Abraham and Mary B. (Chamberlain) Snyder. An uncle on the maternal side, D. S. Chamberlain, is now connected with the Belgian Relief Society of Iowa. The father of our subject was born on the present site of Columbus, Ohio, January 27, 1836. He served throughout the Civil war as a private in Company A, Thirty-first Iowa Volunteer Regiment, but for some time acted as captain of his company while the captain was under court-martial. He was in Logan's Corps and went with Sherman to the sea. After being mustered out at Louisville he returned to Iowa and engaged in farming near Center Point, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred May 29, 1901. He served for twenty years as justice of the peace but never desired to hold other office. His wife was the second white child born in Linn county, Iowa, her birth occurring March 18, 1841. She is still living and resides within four miles of her birthplace. Lawson E. Snyder, the second in a family of nine children, was born upon the same farm as was his mother. After attending the public schools he entered the high school at Marion, where he remained for a year, and subsequently took a course in a business college at Des Moines. When twenty years of age he began farming but after following that occupation for a time sold a horse which his father had given him for one hundred dollars and with this capital went to Des Moines. There he entered the employ of the Chamberlain Medicine Company, which was owned by relatives on the maternal side, and during the daytime worked for them while at night he attended school. He completed his course with twenty-five dollars more than he had when he began it. He next engaged in teaching school, following that occupation during the winter seasons from 1882 to 1892, while the summers were devoted to farm work. He came to South Dakota, arriving in Sully county on the 5th of April, 1883. He settled upon a claim but gave part of his time to section work on a railroad, and later taught school in Iowa for three winters, while he improved and developed his farm during the summers. After that he gave his entire attention to the work of cultivating his homestead and was so engaged until 1892, when he was elected register of deeds of Sully county, which office he held for four years. In order to discharge the duties of his position he removed to Onida, where he has since resided. After the expiration of his term he assisted in organizing the first abstract company in the county and continued his connection with that business until January, 1915, when he sold his stock in the corporation. He has been a director of the First National Life Insurance Company of Pierre since its organization and since 1910 has served as vice president thereof. He owns and manages the Onida Telephone Company, an incorporated concern, and the excellent service which that company gives its subscribers and the satisfactory condition of its finances attests his business sagacity. He is also vice president of the Farmers Bank of Onida and for a number of years served as president of that institution. He has never ceased to have great faith in the value of land as an investment and owns a section of fine farming land in Sully county and he also holds title to real estate in Onida. His determination and energy have enabled him to carry out his plans and every enterprise with which he has been connected has proved a success. Mr. Snyder was married on the 5th of April, 1891, to Miss Cynthia Helen Green, who was born in Union City, Tennessee, but was taken by her parents to Illinois when still an infant. Her father, John J.
284

Green, was born in Orange county, North Carolina, April 5, 1836. During the Civil war he served in the Union army as he believed its cause to be right. He had some difficulty in leaving the south but succeeded in getting north and enlisted in Company B, Second Illinois Volunteer Cavalry. However, he was with his command but a small part of the time that he served in the army, as he did much valuable work as a scout, guide and sharpshooter while his command was in the vicinity of his old home in Tennessee. During the campaign in that region he was compelled to fight against his own relatives, who were serving in the Confederate army. Later he went on the Red River expedition and in all he served for four years. He was wounded a number of times and on one occasion was shot through the leg with a rifle ball. Another time he was shot with buckshot which he carried to his grave, while on still another occasion his horse was killed by a shell and in falling Mr. Green dislocated his hip. In 1863 he was taken prisoner in the rear of Vicksburg and was confined in Libby prison for seven months and twentyone days. He was discharged on the 22d of June, 1865, and then returned to Tennessee, where he married Miss Mary Curlin, who was born in Union City, that state, January 16, 1845. In 1867 they removed to Lincoln, Illinois, which remained the family home until 1883, in which year they came to South Dakota, arriving in Sully county in April. The father engaged in farming and also did some freighting in the early days. He passed away on the 4th of January, 1911, and his wife died on the 23d of August, 1903. Mrs. Snyder, who was the oldest in a family of twelve children, was born May 30, 1868, the first established Memorial Day. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are the parents of two sons. William Ellsworth, who was born February 7, 1892, attended the School of Mines at Rapid City and is a civil engineer by profession. He is a talented musician and is especially proficient as a cello player. He was bugler in the militia at Pierre and is now sergeant in Company A, Fourth Regiment of the South Dakota National Guard. He is much interested in the work of the militia and is recognized as one of the best marksmen in the state, being the second best expert rifleman in South Dakota. Marion Abraham, who was born November 15, 1895, is a graduate of the Cedar Rapids Business College and is assisting his father in his various lines of business. He is an amateur artist of more than usual ability and has done a number of drawings which show marked talent. He is a sharpshooter and like his brother, belongs to Company A, Fourth Regiment of the South Dakota National Guard, and both were members of the five man team which won the regiment championship of the state at Camp Hagman, July 16, 1915. Mr. Snyder is a republican and was the first mayor of Onida after it was organized as a city. Fraternally he is connected with the Masonic blue lodge at Onida, of which he is treasurer, and the Royal Arch chapter at Pierre. He possesses in a large degree the qualities of enterprise, initiative and sound judgment, which are so highly esteemed in this country, and the success which he has achieved financially is solely the result of his own energy and wise management of his affairs. He also recognizes, however, the value of other factors in life and all movements for the moral, intellectual and civic progress of his community receive his hearty cooperation and substantial support.

A PROMINENT CITIZEN GONE Sudden death of Judge Frederick D. Snyder. On Monday morning our city was shocked and surprised to hear of the death of Judge Frederick D. Snyder. Very many of our citizens did not know he was sick, and very few that he was dangerously ill. In fact it was not until Sunday that those near and dear to him realized he was in danger. Judge Snyder had been feeling badly for more than two weeks before he died. He tried his last case on Tuesday of last week, but he should of been in bed, and everyone remarked how badly he looked. On Wednesday he was confined to the house, but he did not take to his bed until Thursday. He was very sick from the first, his disease being typhoid fever. He grew worse rapidly, and on Sunday his physician gave up hope, but none thought the end so near. He was delirous all day and during the night. At 11 o'clock he went to sleep and seemed to rest more comfortable until a little after three when his heavy breathing gave place to more natural breathing, and the watchers thought him better. At twenty minutes past three he moved his head a little to one side. The watchers went to move him a little and noticed he was quivering in death, and before the family was called he was gone. Judge Frederick Snyder was the youngest child of George S. and Elizabeth Snyder, and was born in Washington Township, Darke County, Ohio, August 21, 1838, He sprang from Revolutionary stock, his father was a soldier in the late war in the Thirty-seventh Iowa. It was known as the "gray beard regiment" on account of the advanced age of the men composing it. Judge Snyder's mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Diveley. She died when he was but a year old and Frederick was brought up by his grandfather, Frederick Diveley. As soon as he was old enough, young Snyder began to teach school. In 1860 he migrated to Linn County, Iowa, and read law in the office of John Mitchell at Marion. He was admitted to the bar May 11, 1861. On the 11th of, April, 1861, he was married to Anna M. Kellogg, and through all these years she had made him a faithful and affectionate wife, a helpmate in every sense of the word. From his marriage until 1865 he taught school and practiced law. In February, 1865 he became one of the editors and proprietors of the "Jackson County Sentintel" at Maquoketa, Iowa. He sold out paper in about four months and continued teaching and the practice of law, at LaClaire, Scott county, Iowa, until April, 1870, when he moved to this city, which he has ever since made his home. Here he has led a busy life, and served in many places of public trust. In 1871, he was elected a member of the school board, and served as its efficient secretary for over four years. In 1872 he was elected justice of the peace of Polk Township. He was elected in 1875 and again in 1876 township clerk of Polk Township. At the general election in 1876, he was elected Public Administrator of Nodaway county, and served the term of three years. In the fall of 1878 he was elected Probate Judge of Nodaway county and served the term of four years. Up to this time Judge Snyder had been very successful in business, but after his term as Probate Judge, had expired, he bought the Maryville Times paying for it $5,000. This investment proved to be a bad one, and after he held the paper about two years, losing on it all the time, he gave it up to his creditors for $1,500. Although the blow was a severe one, and the Judge was nearly ruined financially, no one heard a compliant. He resumed his practice of the law, and went to work to mend his broken fortunes. Last spring he was elected Justice of the Peace for Polk Township, and being the only Justice in Maryville, the office was a good one and fortune seemed to smile once more on the Judge. But death came, and now it is all over. Judge Snyder was very active in several secret societies, and held high positions in all. He has filled every office in the Good Templer, and Odd Fellow lodges. He was one of the most active members of the A.O.U.W. and at the time of his death was Grand Guard, of the Grand Lodge of Select Knights of the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri,
288
ranking in the order as a Brigadier General. Judge Snyder was also an active Mason. The Judge leaves three children, Laura, the wife of J.B. Riggin, of this city, Harry a lttle boy ten years of age, and Fred, a boy of four years of age. The deceased was a leading member of the Christian Church having been a member for twenty-seven years. He was active in his church duties and his brethren will greatly miss him. Always having the comfort of his family at heart, and realizing he might be taken away, he always carried an insurance on his life for their benefit, and leaves $6100 insurance for their benefit, of this $2000 is in the A.O.U.W., $1000 in the Grand, and $2000 in the Supreme of the S.K.A.O.U.K. He also has $1000 in the Triple Alliance and $100 in the Odd Fellow's beneficiary of this city. Mr. Snyder was a very active man, and besides attending to his other duties was the Maryville correspondent to the St. Louis Republican, Kansas City Times, and St. Joseph Gazette. His funeral services took place at the Christian Church at 3 o'clock p.m. Tuesday. He was buried by the Free Masons with all the solemitity of the burial services of that order. I.V. McMillen, Esq. conducted the ceremonies. The White Cloud Lodge, I.O.O.F., and the A.O.U.W. and S.K. of A.O.U.K. were in force. The pall bearers were Charles Hyslop, John Edwards, J.G. Grems, James Todd, W.W. Ramsay and George Snapp. Rev. Bone, of the M.E. Church, South, read the 115th Psalm. Prayer was offered by Rev. T.M.S. Kenney, of the Baptist Church. Rev. N.E. Cory then took for his text the 15th verse of the 116th Psalm: Precious in the Lord is the death of His saints" The Reverend speaker said there were four things every man must meet: Life, Death, Judgement, and Eternity. And from these four heads he preached a sermon moved the hearts of his vast audience and caused them to remember that we all must die, and then the judgement and eternity. After the sermon, the vast audience took the farewell look of the remains and then the long procession wended its way to the Miriam cemetery where all that was mortal of Frederick D. Snyder was laid to rest. Thus has one more of the busy, active men of Maryville passed away. May we emulate his virtues, and rember that we, like him, may be cut down in the midst of an active life. The widow and fatherless children, the sympathy of all willbe given. The way now looks dark before them. May the goodness and mercy of the Father above brighten it.

She married (1) JOHN K. BRIERLY 01 Jun 1845. He died 18 Jul 1850. She married (2) JOSEPH B. HUME 31 Mar 1863. She married (3) JAMES D. SAFFER 05 Feb 1871. He was born 1811 in Virginia. Notes for SARAH E. DIVELY: IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Sarah E. Saffer was born in Hamilton County, Ohio on June 10, 1829 and ceased to live on earth on July 30, 1881 aged therefore 52 years, 1 month and 20 days. She was converted and became a member of the M.E. Church nearly forty years ago; and therefore dedicated her to Christ while very young. It was her habit to take an active part in the services of the sanctuary when privileged to do so. In 1871 she and J.L. Saffer were united in marriage, and in 1872 they came to Miamisburg and entered upon a busy life in the community. For nearly ten years our sister was afflicted at times with attacks of servere pain in the head. For several years those attacks have become more frequent and severe but through the faithful and well directed efforts of their family physician she was brought thorough many of those severe sicknesses to health again. But ten weeks ago she was attacted more seriously than ever, and at times it was apparent that the disease was assuming more alarming features, until on Saturday night she quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Christ, to awaken in that glorious and where sickness never comes. She frequently expressed her belief during her sickness that this would be her last illness. She frequently conversed with her husband about death always expressing her faith in Christ and her readiness to go if it is His will. We frequently visited her, and prayed with her during her last illness. Although her afflication was such as not to allow of much conversation, yet she frequently answered our interrogations in reference to her hope in a very satisfactory manner. She leaves her husband and dear little boy to mourn her death. She requested that the beautiful hymn, commencing: "Shed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier" When I am gone; When I am gone Should be sung before she was removed from her home. It is proper to state that the disease from which she had suffered so long at last culminated in acute softening of the brain. Funeral services were conducted in the M.E. Church by Rev. F.M. Clemans, assisted by Rev. I.T. Hott. Our dear brother J.D. Saffer and his little boy have the sympathy of all. F.H. Clemans

219. WILLIAM4 DIVELEY (ISAAC3, FREDERICK2, JACOB1 DIVELY) was born 07 Jan 1831 in Portsmouth (Scioto County) Ohio, and died 31 Jul 1909 in McConnell (Stephenson County) Illinois. He married MARY HULBERT 22 Oct 1857. She was born 06 Jan 1839 in McConnell (Stephenson County) Illinois, and died 29 Sep 1909 in Rock City, Illinois. Notes for WILLIAM DIVELEY: WILLIAM DIVELEY, supervisor of Waddams Township, and one of the extensive and progressive farmers of Northern Illinois has been especially favored by providence, being in the possession of a pleasant home and fine family and the respect and confidence of his friends and neighbors. Mr. Diveley was born in Scioto County, Ohio, January 7, 1831 and is the son of Isaac Diveley and a native of Pennsylvania. His grandfather Frederick Diveley, after his marriage and birth of several children, removed to Darke County, Ohio, where he spent the remainder of his life Their Mr. Diveley grew to manhood and took up his abode in Scioto County, here he met and married Miss Alvira Graves. The mother of our subject was born in Chenango County, New York and was the daughter of Consider Graves. After their marriage the young people continued in Scioto County until the spring of 1837, then started for Illinois. They made the journey to Galena via the Ohio, Mississippi and Fever Rivers, and thence overland to the banks of the Pecatonica. The party consisted of the parents, three children, and the mother of Mr. Diveley. He rented a house in what was then Ransomburg, which they occupied from May until December. In the meantime Mr. Diveley purchased a claim which is now included in his present homestead, but upon which there was then no building. He first erected a log cabin, and committed the extravagance of laying a floor of sawed lumber procured at mills, which was said to have been the first dwelling in that section supplied with such a luxury. When the land came into market, Mr. Diveley entered 125 acres from the goverment, receiving his title from the office in Dixon. He lived and labored here for the rest of his life, and folded his hands on the 28th of January 1866. The mother of our subject died nine years later at the homestead, June 2, 1875. The family of Isaac Diveley include seven children, of whom but four are now living: William of our sketch, was the eldest: Margaret, Mrs. Welty, lives on a farm in Waddams Township; Emily F., Mrs. Blair; Mrs. Rockey resides at Nora, Jo Daviess County. The subject of our sketch is the only son of his father's family who is now living. He was six years of age when he came to this county with his parents, where he attended the first taught within its limits. This school was conducted by Miss Jane Goodhue, at a log cabin at Ransomburg. Young Diveley, as soon as old enough, was instructed in the various duties of the farm where he made himself useful, and in due time gained a good insight into the best methods of agriculture. He distinctly remembers the time when the farm products were transported overland to Galena forty miles away, and especially one trip made in 1851, when he took out oats and barley and returned with sawed lumber which was used for the construction of a new frame dwelling which supplanted the log cabin. This was built mostly with native lumber. Mr. Diveley still occupies the dwelling which now has been standing over thirty-five years, and proper care it is good for another decade. The lady who has been the companion of William Diveley for nearly thirty years was formerly Miss Mary Hulbert, a native of this county, and who became his wife October 29, 1857. The parents of Mrs. Diveley, Lyman and Jane Hulbert. Of her union with Mr. Diveley were born twelve children namely; Lewis, a resident of Buffalo County, Nebraska; Delia, Harriet, the wide of Adam Wales of Colorado; Louisa, Howard H., Mittie, Lucy, Laura, Julia, Bradley, Mabel, Isaac and Althea. The parents and all the children are members in good standing of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Diveley when first becoming a voter identified himself with the old Whig party, but upon its abandonment cordially indorsed Republican principles. He cast his first presidental vote for General Winfield Scott, and while a resident of Waddams Township has served as Highway Commissioner and School Director for a number of years. He has in all respects fulfilled his obligations as an honest man and a good citizen, and is valued accordingly by his friends and neighbors.
ARE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS Friends surprise Mr. and Mrs. Diveley of McConnell On a anniversary Conducted to a hall where spread is served to eighty guests McConnell, Illinois, October 29, 1907- Today is the fifieth anniversary of the marriage of two of Stephenson
295
county's pioneers. Mr. and Mrs. William Diveley, and as the venerable couple were intending to let the event pass by unnoticed, two or three of their children thought the proper thing to do would be to spring a surprise on them. But as a number of their relatives and invited guests lived quite a distance from McConnell, it would be necessary for them to come the day before. The question of keeping the secret from them was difficult for them to solve. It was decided however, that one should issue the invitations and two others, one of them is the station agent should act as detectives. While it is true that Mr. Diveley has passed the three score and ten mark. It is also true he is as lively as a kitten and it was declared by those who were watching him that he could come nearer being on two or three streets at the same time than any man they ever saw. However with the assistance of the entire populace of the little city, the guests were properly housed up, til 10:30 when they formed in and marched to the house and the surprise was complete. After a general handshaking and offering of congratulations they repaired to the opera house where they beheld as fine a spread as ever graced the table of a king. The different dishes were so numerous that it was impossible to even sample all of them. It was declared a triump of cookery. All the eighty guests had done justice, to the bountiful spread they were treated to several duets by Miss Dolly Lepner of Warren, a musican of rare ability and Miss Agnes Rockey of Nora, who is also a musican of exceptional ability. Then to cap the climax the Diveley family appeared on the stage and closed the exercises by singing a piece that was pronounced a winner. All in all it was a red letter day for the beautiful little city of McConnell and had a worthy tribute to a couple whose friends are legion and who all join in the fervent wish that they may be spared for many more years to come the future encourage in the future as they have done in the past, the principles of truth and justice in all their dealings with their fellow man. Chief among those present were. H.H. Diveley of Oklahoma, Bradley Diveley of Indiana, Adeila Diveley of Ray, Colorado, Harriet Wales of Eureka, Illinois, Louisa Parrot of Buena Vista, Frank Parrot also of Buena Vista, Lucy Schaefer and her husband of Rock City, Peter Danielson and wife and son of McConnell.

Notes for MARY CONSTANCE BLAIR: Dr. Mary Constance Blair's record of accomplishments as a botanist gives her high standing in her profession and on the roll of honored natives of Stephenson County. Born in Winslow Township in 1877, she spent much of her childhood enjoying the beauties of the Apple River area. By the time she had received her B.A. magna cum laude, her M.S. summa cum laude and her Ph.D cum laude, all from Northwestern University, Evanston, she had found her special mission in life, which was to make known and preserve the unique vegetation of Apple River Canyon. Because of its being an unglaciated island in a glaciated area she discovered there many plants unknown outside of places far distant from Illinois, for example, and arctic primrose. Her doctoral thesis is valuable list of plants hitherto unknown east of the Grand Canyon, and her labors started the visitation of the area by many distinquished botanists. It was she who aroused enough enthusiasm among local people and state authorities to get the site eventyally made a state park. After her retirement from her position as associate professor of botany at Northwestern University, she made her home in Nora an arboretum of rare and beautiful wild plants and did other landscaping.

His active religious life began with the Methodists at an early age, and he was by them licensed to preach in his nineteenth year. He continued in this relationship for nearly nine years, when undergoing a change in his religious views, especially in relation to baptism, he formally and voluntarily resigned his pastoral charge, Latonia Circuit, Kentucky Conference, Methodist Episcopal church (South) to hich he had been appointed three months previously, and on the 3rd of January 1862 was immersed by the Rev. Benjamin Franklin in the city of Cincinnati, thus becoming identified with the Disciples of Christ. But he cherishes the greatest respect for the church of his early choice. Since his connection with Disciples of Christ he has been noted as one of their most zealous and laborious preachers and writers. From the beginning of 1862 to the close of 1864, he was in the field as a general evangelists, preaching the gospel in many states in the union. His labors were crowned with great success. To say nothing of his travels and other labors, he averaged more than a sermon a day the year round. January 1, 1865, he assumed the pastorate of the Christian church in Paris, Kentucky. His labors here were greatly blessed, the membership was more than doubled and it became, perhaps, the most important and inflential church of the denomination in Kentucky. His eminent ability pointed him out for a larger sphere of usefulness, and in the summer of 1868 he reluctantly yielded to the often repeated soliciations of friends, and became pastor of one of the churches in Philadelphia. Here he had every prospect of surpassing all his former attainments, but his wife being threatened ith pulmonary disease, and being assured that she could not live in that latitude, he felt compelled to resign his charge near the close of the first year. This neccessity he has always regretted, for he felt profoundly convinced that, could he have remained in the Quaker City, a splendid future was before him. Shortly after leaving Philadelphia he received and accepted a call from the Linden street Christian church in Memphis. He entered regulary upon his ministry in that city September 1, 1869 and continued there for nearly nine years, his labors having been greatly blessed. His character and standing may be inferred from the universal expressions of all classes of people, the pulpit and press especially. The pastors association of which he was an honored member, united in a testimonial of which any man might be proud. Before leaving Memphis he had received many flattering calls, but having visited Kansas City, and being impressed with the rapidity of its growth as well as its promised greatness, and believing that it opened to him a door of great usefulness, he resolved to make it his pernament home. Accordingly he accepted a call from the newly organized Second Christian church of that city. and on July 1, 1878 entered upon his labors. It is felt by the writer that this sketch presents but a meager and imperfect outline of a wonderfully busy life, and one of the most striking characters of the age. Amid this multifarious duties as preacher, lecturer, editor, and writer for many periodicals,he found time to travel, but generally in a professional capacity. He has visited and preached in more than half the States of the Union, and has also traveled extensively in Europe. He was selected as one of twenty-eight men to prepare a sermon for the "Living Pulpit of the Christian Church" a book designed to be representative in its character. In that volume will be found a splendid steel plate engraving, a biographical sketch and a sermon, of our subject. On the 23rd of April, 1855 he was married to Miss Josie Blinn, of Covington, Kentucky. Three children have been born to them, all sons- Henry Bascon, deceased, August 18, 1857: George Edward and Charles Edmonds, the older of the two living sons is a minister of the gospel. Mr. Walk has been peculiary happy in his domestic relations, and to the wise discretion and salutary influence of his wife he attributes much of his success which has crowned his labors.

Mr. Walk is now in the full prime of a vigorous manhood, having just turned his forty-fourth anniversary. His appearance is dignified and commanding. He is six feet high, weighs one hundred and eighty-five pounds, and is well symmetrically proportioned. He is slightly bald, and wears a full, dark beard. The normal color of his eyes is gray, but the color changes with his moods, and often appears jet black. His carriage is erect, and his bearing that of a military man. He has written and published more sermons than any man in his denomination, and he prepares them with great care. His resources are very extensive. As a speaker he may be characterized as earnest and fluent, commanding the closest attention of his audience; as a pastor he is zealous, prompt and faithful; as a companion he is remarkably genial and sociable; as a judge of men he is quick, discerning and just. His social qualities are such as are caculated to gain for him the admiration and esteem of those with whom he come in contact. He is exceedingly neat and punctilions in all his habits, and observes the strictest order in all his public and private duties. In concluding this imperfect sketch of David Walk we will only add that which is said of him herever he is known: Amongst the ministers of his denomination he is unsurpassed in depth and brillancy of thought: he is a faithful and devoted Christian: a just, pue and sympatic man, and an ornament to any society he moves. The sketch was prepared by Walker Buckner, Esq., of Kansas, who has been for many years the intimate friend and associate of its subject; and who was also for some years a member of his pastoral charge in Paris, Kentucky.

DEATH'S HAND ON DAVID WALK WELL KNOWN MINISTER PASSED AWAY TUESDAY WAS ILL FOR MONTHS BUT IT WAS NOT KNOWN THAT HIS CONDITION WAS CRITICAL UNTIL THREE WEEKS AGO, WAS PASTOR OF THE MAIN SREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH FROM 1891 TO 1894, THE FUNERAL SERVICE TO BE HELD AT 3 O'CLOCK THURSDAY AFTERNOON FROM THE M.E. CHURCH A GALVESTON The Rev. David Walk, pastor of the Main street Christian church in this city from 1891 to 1894, and widely known in this community, died at his late home in Galveston at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, after an illness of several months. The immediate cause of death was uremic poisoning. Mr. Walk had been in ill health since last spring, but until three weeks ago his condition was not considered serious. At that time however, he grew critically ill. He was taken to the Deaconess hospital in Indianapolis for treatment , but he did not improve. Last Friday his son, Charles E. Walk, was summoned. He took his father back to Galveston, do that his death, which both were convinced was not far off, might be in the presence of those who knew and loved him best. The end was awaited with fortitude and Christian calm. Mr. Walk was conscious until the end, and his departure was serene and peaceful, his chiefest concern, even in the hour of dissolution, being for the grief-stricken group at his bedside. David Walk was known to many hundreds here. As a minister he was a forecful, militant and earnest, and as a man he was gentle, thoughtful and kind. In this city, as elsewhere he worked faithfully and fervently for the cause to which he had pledged himself and for the enternal glorification of which his life was spent. The grief at the announcement of David Walk's death will be general and sincere. He was a man's man strong and vigorous and clean-handed, a preacher of the gospel and a minister to the foot-sore and heart-sick and heavyladen. He was not possesed of more than a simple competence in this world's goods, that he leaves behind a richer heritage in the work that he did so well and loved so much. David Walk was born in Reading, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, December 9, 1833. He was reared there and in his early life showed strong leaning toward the work that engaged his later years. At the age of nineteen he was licensed to preach with the Methodist Episcopal church. He followed the doctrines and preached the word of this faith for nine years, at which time, after long and serious thought, he resigned the pastorate, withdrew from the church, was baptised into the Disciples church by the Rev. Benjamin Franklin. Something of the vigorous way he
302
entered into his new life and work may be gathered from the following quotation from the book "The Living Pulpit of the Christian Life," which contains a brief history of his life. "Soon after his immersion, Brother Walk began to labor in the general field, and spent about three years traveling and preaching in some dozen states, reaching from Central Pennsylvania to beyond the Mississippi river; and, as an evidence of the amount of work done by him while thus engaged, it may be stated that he traveled in one year, seven thousand years, and preached three hundred and ninety-five sermons, besides the other labors that naturally devolve on an evangelist. During the three years spent in this way he was instrumental in doing great good in many places: the weak churches were stengthened while a considerable number of sinners were turned to the Lord" This little sidelight is interesting. It does not show how the then young minister, at one time a man of considerable means, traveled over the country, wherever he felt his duty called him, in evangelistic work. Most of the time during these years he was dependent upon his own resources for his expenses, and eventually it left him poor in purse, but with a wealth of good work to his credit, and with a record of years of patient and wholehearted effort given freely and unquestionably in the cause her served. He was pastor of the First church of the Disciples at Kansas City, pastor of the Linden street church at Memphis, Tenn., pastor of the Central church at Cincinnati, at a time when Govenor Bishop and Isaac Errett, who founded the Christian Standard, were elders. He was pastor also of the famous old Central Christian church at Indianapolis. As has been shown, he was pastor here from 1891 until 1894. Prior to this, from January of 1882 to July of 1883, his son, George Edward Walk, was pastor here. Suceeding him was "Father" Barnett and after that came E.L. Frazier and S.M. Jefferson. The Rev. David Walk suceeded the Rev. Jefferson. He worked here for four years, and carried on his work in his usual energetic way. He was a powerful preacher, filled with the militant and evangelistic spirit, and he was no less a pastor, taking deep personal interest in the members of his congregation, ever helpful, considerate and kind. The years since he left there had been spent for the most part in the west, in his chosen work. Sometime less than a year ago he came back to Indiana, and with his wife and son, Charles Edmonds Walk and his family, took residence at Galveston, where he lived until death's hand was laid upon him Tuesday. The funeral service will be held at the M.E. church at Galveston, at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The Rev. E. Richard Edwards, pastor of the Main street Christian church of this city, will officiate. For the benefit of the many from this city will desire to attend it is announced that the cars will leave the Union traction station at 12:12 and 2:12 p.m. and returning will leave Galveston at 5:35 and 6:23 p.m. KOKOMO DAILY TRIBUNE, September 16, 1908
DAVID WALK David Walk, well known minister of our brotherhood, fell asleep Tuesday, September 15, 1908. For some time Bro. Walk had been troubled with the afflction that took him away, but only, but only recently had it rendered him inactive. Bright's disease was reported as in immediate cause of his demise. About a year ago our brother came from Chicago with the family of his son Charles, and their advent in Kokomo was sad indeed. They brought with them, for burial, his little grandson and namesake David Walk, who had been run over by a street car. The family then located in the town of Galveston, about seven miles from Kokomo. Bro. Walk had ceased preaching, and was selling a work on the Bible, and met with good success in the undertaking. A short time since, our brother was visiting in Indianapolis among old friends and where he was for a time minister of the Central Christian Church. Recently that church celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary, and Bro. Walk spoke on that occasion. Shortly after that he was compelled to go to the hospital, and there he heard the summons. He passed away at his home in Galveston. Bro. Walk was a minister of the Main Street Christian Church, Kokomo, Ind. from 1891 to 1894. Many of his former friends and parishioners made the journey to pay a last tribute of respect to one who had loved to preach plainly and forecfully and logically the doctrines of the abiding Word. On Thursday, September 17, occured the last rites for the departed. In a strange town, where we had no church, but were kindly donated the use of the M.E. Church, the writer conducted the service. The interment was in the beautiful cemetery in Galveston. It seemed to add to our sadness that the burial as in a community where his voice was never heard ringing out the sweetest message ever told. The "Old Guard" will remember Bro. Walk as laboring with them hen all of them
303
were in the vigor and prime of life, and eloquently pleading to return to aposttolic doctrine and practice. He honored God, Christ, the apostles, his brethren and himself by preaching the Word, not finding fault with it. Others, better qualified, will no doubt write of him and his noble work, for my personal acquaintance with him was not very extended. On the 9th of next December Bro. Walk would of reached his seventy-fifth years. His devotion to the cause he espoused, his appreciation of the truth, and his loyalty to Christ, filled the soul of the man to overflowing, and, bursting "its temporal confines, that soul went to receive the crown of life, and to the realm here was room for infinate growth. So e laid him to rest, the dear, grand veteran of a holy and eternal cause. Few are left for us to compliment and honor. Shall not we, who have received the results and inheritance of their labors, cheer the hearts of these surviving veterans by saying that there shall be no faltering, no compromise, no questionable pact of peace, no that our standing among all religious bodies demonstrates the strength of the glorious plea. Sister Walk, I am sure, ill have the deepest sympathy of all who knew her and her beloved husband. Thou valient soldier of the cross, good night: in the morning we shall meet to part no more forever. E. Richard Edwards Kokomo, Ind.

JOANNA WALK EXPIRES AT GALVESTON DEATH CAME AFTER AN ILLNESS OF MORE THAN TWO YEARS DURATION Mrs. Joanna Walk, who would of been seventy-seven years of age had she lived to February 22 next expired at her home in Galveston at 9 o'clock this morning. Death resulted from a general breakdown which became manifest something over two years ago, on the occasion of the death of her husband, the Rev. David Walk. Mrs. Walk's health failed steadily from that time, and for the last several months she had been barely alive. She was not conscious at the time of her death, nor for many hours before it occured. The funeral will be held Wednesday. Because of the nature of the ailment it has been deemed best to have the service private. Burial will be had at the Galveston cemetery, where the Rev. Walk was laid to rest. Mrs. Walk was born in Ludlow, Kentucky. She became the bride of the Rev. David Walk when a girl of seventeen. She lived in many cities during her life, as Rev. Walk's charges embraced a wide scope of territory. She lived many years in Texas and along the Pacific slope. It was over four years ago that the Walks returned to Indiana, to take up residence in Galveston. Mrs. Walk is survived only by her son, Charles Edmonds Walk, novelist and critic, at whose home at Galveston she lived. She was well known in Kokomo. She resided here for several years two decades ago, during which time the Rev.
304
Walk was pastor of the Main street Christian church, and she made many friends in this city. A sweet and gentle nature, a splendid, womanly woman, whose life was filled with good works, with a fine unselfishness and with a thousand kindnesses, she will live long in the memory of those who knew her best. Her life was one of patient service, and she walked ever in the shadow of God. KOKOMO DAILY TRIBUNE, January 1, 1913
DEATH OF MRS. DAVID WALK Mrs. Joanna Marshal Blinn Walk was born near Ludlow, Ky. February 22, 1837, where her entire girlhood was spent and where she met and was married to David Walk, at the time a young minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, April 23, 1857. About this time the preaching of Alexander Campbell and his co-workers was beginning to bear fruit and Rev. Walk early affiliated himself ith the new doctrine in which he rapidly rose to a place of prominence. As a matter of fact, Rev. Walk was so much a part of this great movement's growth that it must be said that he in large part helped make its history. For more than fifty years Mrs. Walk was his faithful help-meet and capable co-worker during which period Rev. Walk at different times occupied every one of the most important pulpits of the Church of the Disciples. Residents of Galveston only knew Mrs. Walk in her declining years when most that made life worth living had been taken from her, and after her remarkable energy and vitality had been dulled by a series of tragedies under which a less devout and a weaker nature would have been crushed. All sorrowing and suffering were removed from her stricken spirit on New Years Day. Mrs. Walk is survived by one son, Charles E. Walk. The funeral services were private and were conducted at the home of her son Charles Walk, Friday morning, by Rev. Richard Edwards of Kokomo. Interment was made in Galveston Cemetery, besides her husband, Rev. David Walk. It may be interesting to note that Mrs. Walk's father, Capt. Lorenzo Blinn, was one of the earliest steam boat men of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. It was Capt. Blinn's boast that he piloted the first steam craft to navigate the waters of the Wabash river.

OBITUARIES Isaac N. Walk was born in Darke county, Ohio, August 28, 1836, where he passed his youth. While still quite a young man he moved to Middletown, Ohio and engaged in business. From this place he went to Bethany in the same county, about 1865, where he remained until 1869, when he removed to a farm near Eaton, Ohio. He retired from farming in 1892, and since that time he has resided in Muncie, Ind., until his death February 20, 1904. He was united in marriage to Rachel Warner, at Amanda, Ohio, October 13, 1859, who with five sons, survive him. While very young he united with the Methodist church in which he ever remained an earnest and devoted member, holding at various times many responsible official positions. He was in the highest sense of the word a good citizen and strove to the utmost to improve the social and moral conditions of the community in which he lived. He was a man of decided moral convictions, and was firm and courageous in his support of what appeared to him to be right, and was never deterred by considerations of policy or expediency from opposing ith all his strength what he believe to be wrong. His purity of life and character made sin abhorrent to him. During a business career extending through many years his honesty and integrity were never called into question. Those who knew him best trusted him the most.
306
In the Cincinnati conference where most of his life was spent, his most intimate and strongest friendships were among the Methodist ministers, who recognized him a loyal and trusted supporter and advisor. Early in the autumn of 1903 he was stricken with pneumonia, which rapidly developed into consumption. During a great portion of his illness, he suffered greatly, but endured it all with christian fortitude and resignation. He was a patient sufferer, his cheerful and kindly disposition never deserting him. He was ready and anxious to go. Death to him had no terrors. The many prayers he offered with his family around him were full of faith in the wisdom and goodness of his Father, who, he said, doeth all things well. And in the years to come his loved ones will be soothed and sustained by the remembrance of the gracious words that went up from the sick straight to the throne of God. Truly it could be said of him, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course; I have kept the faith: Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me on that day.

Needham, president, a resolution was presented and adopted a memoriam to Harry Walk, well-known local attorney and former member of the association, who died Wednesday, and whose funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home at 517 West Jackson street. Mr. Walk has been a member of the organization since its origin and has practiced law in Muncie for the past thirty years. While his practice was confirmed largely to real estate law, yet he had thorough knowledge of the general principles of law and took pleasure and profit in the discussion and investigation of its principles. It was his habit to spend much time in study and meditation upon legal subjects many times
307

disassociated from any case in hand. For a term Mr. Walk served as probate commissioner of the Delaware Circuit Court. He practiced the ethics of his profession and in his dealings with his fellow lawyers and others, he was honest and conscientious. He was charitable to a fault, guiet and unassuming in conduct and yet a man of strong and deep convictions. He did not act arbitrary or attempt to force his opinions upon others, but when called upon for an expression of his views displayed a keen analysis of the subject. It was his endeavor to act right and to deal justly. He was a Christian gentleman. The bar has lost a worthy member and the community an upright citizen. THE MUNCIE MORNING STAR, January 25, 1930

224. ABRAHAM4 WALK (MARY3 DIVELEY, FREDERICK2, JACOB1 DIVELY) was born 20 Oct 1838 in Palestine (Darke County) Ohio, and died 24 May 1914 in Maryville (Nodaway County) Missouri. He married MARGARET CUSTER 09 Oct 1865 in White County IN. She was born 14 Feb 1849, and died 16 Apr 1917. Notes for ABRAHAM WALK: GETTYSBURG VETERANS GO A WEEK FROM TODAY SIX SURVIVORS FROM HERE WILL BE GUESTS OF MISSOURI AT SEMI-CENTENNIAL Friday, Nodaway county's Gettysburg survivors are planning to leave Maryville a week from tonight over the Wabash so as to join the state delegation at St. Louis, and take the special train which leaves that city at 11 a.m. the next morning over the Clover Leaf for the old battleground. The six Nodaway representatives are: Abraham Walk and Richard Vardle of Maryville, Phillp H. Walker of Clearmont, Charles R. Eaton of Banrad, Harry P. Housen of Guilford and S.W.T. Black of Graham. Orders for transportation which the state furnishes free to the veterans, will be issues about Monday, and the old soldiers must report in St. Louis not later than June 28 at 8 a.m. Of the 283 which go from Missouri about 190 are Federal troops and the rest Confederates.
TAGS FOR VETERANS OF GETTYSBURG HERE Nodaway survivors receive official orders for transportation, they will leave Friday.

Fatality to Walk's butter He was also shot in the arm, but that was part of the fortunes of war to be expected. Wednesday The tags for the Nodaway county survivors of the battle of Gettysburg came today, along with an official order for transportation to St. Louis where the state delegation of 283 will start Saturday for the scene of the battle. The tags are ordinary linen shipping tags and are filled with official information as to regiment, name, address of someone to be notified in case of accident and other desired information. They are a sort of passport and must be carried by the visitors during the trip. The visit to the old battlefield will be made as guests of the state. One of the survivors who is looking foward with much anticipation for the trip is Abraham Walk. He was a very active participant, having made a forced march of eighteen miles in order to be among those present. In the course of his travel he had taken occasion to pick up a pretty ample supply of food, a loaf of home-made bread and some ham and pickles being stored away in his knapsack which had been emptied of hardtack. A pound of prime butter also was in the loot that he had gathered up from private larders, and this was especially favored by the soldier. So he put the butter in his quart cup, tied a towel over the top and swung the cup over his shoulder by a cord. When the command reached the battlefield, it was sent immediately into action on the skirmish line in a wheat field. The hot soon in its work and soon the butter was sloppy. But that was no reason that it was to be lost. So Mr. Walk care tenderly for that cupful of grease and fought away. When his command was ordered to fall back and fresher troops were sent foward, the soldier thought his butter was safe. But just then a stray bullet came along and hit that cup amidships and it simply rained hot grease in that vicinity. Dripping with melted butter and saddened by its loss, he fell back. It was one of the tragedies of war. 2 DAYS OF GETTYSBURG ENOUGH FOR MR. WALK Looked fifteen bushels of scambled eggs in the eye and yearned for home. He found here he fought Located wheat and bloody angle, but crowds and heat and inconveniences soon made him ready to return. Monday, When Abraham Walk of Maryville walked up to the commissary at Gettysburg last week and looked fifteen bushels of scrambled eggs squarely in the eye, he had just about enough of Gettysburg. However, he stuck to the camp, slept in super heated tents, squeezed into the postoffice to get stamps to mail cards to his loving friends and then he could hardly squeeze out again- oh its all very well, thinks Mr. Walk, if you care for these things. However he doesn't ever intend to go back to anymore half-century celebrations of battles. FUN ON THE TRAIN Mr. Walk left here a week ago Friday night and returned just a week later. He spent two days at Gettysburg, one at the home of relatives near Muncie, Ind., and the rest on the train. He had the best time of all on the special train en route from St. Louis to Gettysburg. There were three Rebs, as they were affectionately called, and then the spirit of fraternity between these aforesaid Rebs and Yanks, who made up the rest of the Pullman load, was something worth seeing. The train ran right through a fast schedule, tooting through the smaller towns and stopping for coal and water at the larger ones; but never changing its passenger list. The old soldiers were in fine fettle, even if some of them didn't know what a fettle was, and there was joking and anedotes and a good time. FOUND HIS WHEAT FIELD Of course every survivor anted to go right back and pick out the identical spot where he did his fighting. So Mr. Walk fared forth to find the wheat field, where his quart cup of butter was shot and its contents scattered. He found the field and went on further and found the Bloody Angle where he was shot in the arm the last day of the battle.

According to Mr. Walk the battlefield was not much changed, except for the monuments that now cover it. The general topography looked as he expected it to and he had no difficulty in locating the different points of interest. Mr. Walk's memory of Gettysburg always will be that of a crowded place. There was a fearful crowd there fifty years ago, about 160,000, the historians say, and all last week the crowds were wonderful. The camp ground was three miles long by half as wide, right out in the sun. The veterans were given tents furnished with comfortable cots, and every possible provision was made for their comfort, but it wasn't like at home, and the old soldiers hadn't been there very long until many one of them started back to Sarah Jane and the shady side of the old home. It said that 6,000 of them sounded the retreat the second day. TOO MUCH GRUB The food, Mr. Walk contends, was not pretty. There was too much of it. Try it yourself and see how you would like to go and nibble off the outskirts of fifteen bushels of scrambled eggs, all in a pile. Mr. Walk seized his plate and cup and sallied up to the breast works to get his allotment, all right, and he stuck it out for one meal. Then he went up town and spent his own money, and took his sustenance in smaller quanities. He said it was better so. Gettysburg, he was told, is a town of 4,500. It was somewhat crowded when 50,000 old soldiers and as many more visitors got there. The camp was a mile and a half from town and the conveyances were adequate for just about 5 percent of the crowd. So the soldiers walked, a forced march, so to speak. Next to the postoffice for crowds, Mr. Walk cites the saloons. However, there was only one postoffice. The saloons were running in full blast, and he didn't hear of any 10 o'clock closing ordinance. The uptown eating houses also were well paronized, many of the veterans taking the same view of it that the Maryville man did. However, Mr. Walk is not complaining about the treatment. He merely thinks the whole idea was well advised. FIVE HUNDRED COFFINS Mr. Walk started out to keep count of the number of veterans who died. There were eight of them Monday, and eleven the nest day, and then he didn't count. He heard that the goverment had 500 coffins on the ground in case of need. The Maryville veteran stood the trip well and is enjoying the being back home and telling all about it.

Notes for CYNTHIA ANN DIVELEY: Greenville, Ohio March 29, 1869 Dear cousin Maggie Mine is the painful task of writing you an account of the death of our Uncle Joseph Diveley his earthly career closed at one o'clock on the morning of the 15th of this month, his disease was smallpox he suffered dreadfully for 11 days after they broke out. His family did not know how he got that terrible disease for he had not been out of the house for six months as he was crippled from rheumatism and he went on crutches for a year. It is hard he should die with that awful malady after all his suffering and at his advanced age. I do not know his age but he must be very old for he was the oldest of grandfathers family. Their was no one to follow him to his last long home but his second son Mathias C. Diveley as aunt Catherine was very sick and cousin Sarah E. Brierly and her daughter Adah was very unwell from uncle. Uncle's children are all married except Mathias. Sarah is a widow, has been married twice, she was divorced from her second husband his name is Hume, a very bad man. Uncle Abraham Diveley's family is all except one daughter. Cousin Sallie Mead his oldest daughter died just three weeks before last Christmas she leaves three small children and a husband to mourn her. The remaining one is married also her name is Jennie N. Coil. As this is my first attempt to write you one who I never saw, it is a hard matter for me to collect enough thoughts to write what would interest you. Abe Walk's youngest sister and her family have been with us for a week her name is Mollie McCampell, they are going to Missouri where Abe lives.

Many of the agriculturists of the younger generation are carrying on operations on the farms on which they were born, and with the conditions and possibilities of which, accordingly, they are thoroughly familiar. These are the men who are progressively carrying forward the development commenced by their fathers, and which has changed Darke county from a wild and unproductive waste into one of the garden spots of the Buckeye State. The owner of a handsome tract of one hundred and fifty acres of land in Greenville township, three miles northeast of Palestine, Horace B. Kerst has resided on this property all of his life and is known as one of his community's most energetic and enterprising farmers. Like many of the more progressive men of his locality, he has devoted his energies to specializing, his specialty being the raising of livestock, in which he has met with well-merited success. Mr. Kerst was born June 16, 1882, in the old family homestead in Greenville township, and is a son of Morgan and Cynthia (Diveley) Kerst. The Kerst family has been known in Darke county since pioneer days, the progenitor being the grandfather of Mr. Kerst, Samuel Kerst, who married a Miss Moyer and came to this section from Berks county, Pennsylvania. Morgan Kerst was born at Bakers Store, a small hamlet of this county, and was a farmer and stockraiser throughout his life, his earnest and well-directed efforts gaining him a handsome competency, while his good citizenship at all times assured him a high place in public esteem. Mr. Kerst married Cynthia Diveley, of Darke county, and they became the parents of the following children: Anna and Georgia, who are deceased; Stella, who married Mr. O'Brien; Wilber, Horace B., and one child who died in infancy. Horace B. Kerst may be truly termed a self-made man, for he started out in life without capital, and through his industry and perseverance has steadily advanced as the years have gone by until he is now numbered among the leading and influential men of his community. He received his education in the country schools, in the meantime assisting his father in cultivating the fields of the homestead farm, and when he reached years of maturity adopted the vocation of agriculturist for his field of endeavor. In order to secure capital with which to pursue his chosen occupation, he rented land for some years and carefully saved his earnings, with the result that he was soon able to invest in his original piece of property. That he has prospered in his venture is indicated by the fact that he today owns a valuable farm of one hundred and fifty acres, the property being improved with good buildings and a nice home, which is supplied with all modern conveniences and accessories. He is carrying on general farming, following the most practical and progressive methods in the cultivation of his fields, so that he is meeting with a most gratifying success. For about ten years he has been interested in breeding Duroc hogs, and his success in this line encouraged him to experiment with cattle, and he is at this time shipping a large number of stock to the markets. In addition he is the owner of a number of blooded jacks and a fine Belgian horse, which he keeps for breeding purposes. Mr. Kerst is a member of the Horse Thief Association, a local protective organization. In political matters he is a progressive Republican, and in community affairs he takes an active and helpful part and his labors have been directly beneficial and far-reaching. He has made for himself an honored place in business circles, and his signature bears weight on commercial paper. On December 16, 1912, Mr. Kerst was married to Miss Cressie Henry, daughter of Joseph and Amanda (Bell) Henry, the latter of whom is deceased, while the former is a resident of Castine, Ohio.

240. JOHN CARL4 BAIRD (ANNA MARY3 KURTZ, CHRISTINA2 DIVELY, JACOB1) was born 30 Apr 1819 in Somerset (Somerset County) Pa., and died 28 Jun 1901 in Dayton (Montgomery County) Ohio. He married (1) CAROLINE UNKNOWN. She was born 1820, and died 18 Jul 1843. He married (2) S USAN OLIVE 1847. She was born 1822 in Zanesville, Ohio, and died 1906 in Dayton (Montgomery County) Ohio. Notes for JOHN CARL BAIRD: JOHN C. BAIRD Of the firm of Baird Brothers, owners planing mill, sash, door and blind factory, Dayton, was born at Somerset, Penn, April 30, 1819. His parents were Daniel and Annie M. (Kurtz) Baird, natives of the Keystone State. The former was a carpenter and builder and cabinet maker. He was a soldier in the American Army during the War of 1812, and died September 15, 1876, aged eighty-three years and four months. He was a man of strong constitution, very vigorous, and up to the time of his death (caused by old age) never suffered a weeks sickness. His amiable helpmate followed him to the "shadowed land" December 16, 1879, aged eighty-one years and nine months. They were the parents of eleven children, eight of whom survive. The subject of this sketch was reared amid the rock hills of old Pennsylvania, and when sixteen years of age commenced to learn the trade of his father, continuing with him in business for some years. When twenty-five years of age, he came to Dayton, where he worked at his trade for quite a period. In the meantime, his brother, William F., had visited the Valley City, and
328
located there. The two brothers decided to embark in the busy and tempestuous sea of life, and, as both were practical mechanics, decided to establish their present business. They did so, under the firm name of Baird Brothers, and have continued the business to the present time. Since coming to Dayton, Mr. Baird was, for three years, engaged in the grocery business. He was married in an early day, and buried a wife and child in October, 1843. His second marriage was solemnized in 1847, the second party to the contract being Susan Olive, a native of Zanesville, Ohio. They have four children living, Charles H., William F., Florence and Arthur, the eldest son and daughter being married. Mr. Baird and his wife are members of the First Lutheran Church, the former having officiated as Deacon for some years. Mr. Baird joined the I.O.O.F., in August, 1845, and since that period has given much of his time to the advancement of the order. He is a member of Wayne Lodge, No. 10, and Dayton Encampment, No. 2. During one State Encampment. at Portsmouth, Ohio, he was appointed and served as Grand Junior Warden. In the home lodge he has devoted some time to committee work, and ably assisted in preparing a forty years' history of the lodge for publication. In politics, Mr. Baird is a strong Republican. He served as Councilman from the Fifth Ward for two years, and was one committee appointed to visit the Eastern cities to examine the different systems of fire protection in use in each. He assisted in establishing a Holly system in Dayton, an act of which he justly feels proud. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES: CITY OF DAYTON John C.

WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT IS FATALLY INJURED Samuel T. Gebhart is run down by Panhandle Passenger at Sixth and Main Streets and apprehension is entertained as to result of the injuries. Samuel T. Gebhart of 314 South Main street, was probably fatally injured yesterday morning at Sixth and Main streets by being struck by Panhandle freight train No. 77 shortly after 6 o'clock. Mr. Gebhart had left his home a few minutes previous to the accident and was walking north on Main street. He waited until one freight passed and apparently without looking to see if another approached, walked onto the tracks stepping directly in front of the engine. Mr. Gebhart was hurled several feet when picked up was unconscious. He was carried to his home a few doors away and Drs. Maetke and Myers called. An examination showed that Mr. Gebhart had sustained a fracture of the nose, a compound fracture of the right arm of the right arm and three ribs were fractured. It is also believed that one of his ribs penetrated the right lung, as symptoms developed this. Mr, Gebhart is 76 years of age, and owing to his advanced years, his condition is extremely critical. It was stated last night that conciousness had been regained and Mr. Gebhart was resting as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. It is feared however, that pneumonia may develop from the injury to the lung. Mr. Gebhart is one of the oldest and best known business men of the city. He is the senior member of the firm of S.T. and G.A. Gebhart iron and steel merchants, located at Third and St. Clair streets. The train was in charge of conducor C.W. White and Engineer H.H. Finley. Witnesses who saw the accident state that the railroad men were not to blame. DAYTON OHIO NEWSPAPER

Served term as Burgess Learned Hatter's trade in his father's factory when a youth but engaged in Mercantile business in later years; Family of fighters. John Kurtz one of Connellsville's oldest and best known citizens died early this morning at his home at the corner of Pittsburg street and Crawford avenue, following a brief illness which resulted from a fall about two weeks ago. He was 88 years old. Mr. Kortz sffered a slight stroke following this apparently trivial mishap but was not compelled to take his bed until Wednesday of this week. He was conscious to the last. Mr. Kurtz was born in Connellsville and lived his life here. He came of a distinquished family, one that has been in prominent in civic and business affairs for several generations. He also came from a family of fighters, being one of four brothers, all of whom saw service in the Civil War. He was a brother of William F. Kurtz, who fell at Fredericksburg and in whose honor the local G.A.R. post is named. Three generations of the Kurtz family have served from time to time as burgess of Connellsville, Josiah Kurtz, his father was burgess in 1831. Fifty years later, in 1881, John Kurtz was elected to the position while his son, Josiah B. Kurtz, served as burgess in 1893, 1894, 1896 and from 1900 to 1902. John Kurtz's career as an officeholder was confined to his single term as burgess. His father was first elected to office in 1826, when he was named borough treasurer. He was in the town council in 1833 and again in 1867 and was treasurer in 1874 and 1876. Josiah and Elizabeth Kurtz, parents of John Kurtz, were natives of Somerset, coming to Connellsville about 1825. John Kurtz was their oldest child. He was born in Connellsville, on the site of the Stader building, at the corner of Main street and Meadow lane, on October 7, 1826.

Charles Kurtz, who died a few years ago. John Kurtz is also survived by a single grandchild, Miss Frances K. Freed. Josiah Kurtz was a hat manufacturer and had an extensive business in the early days of the borough. His factory and store occupied what is now the Stader building on Main street.

Kurtz, a lifelong resident of Connellsville and indentified with banking circles for three decades, died at 8:40 o'clock this morning at Connellsville State Hospital where he had undergone an operation two weeks ago. Mr. Kurtz, who on Thursday, the date of his burial, would of become 67 years of age, was taken ill on Friday, August 28, at his home on 365 East Green street and two weeks later was removed to the hospital. Death was attributed to complications.

He attended the Connellsville High School and in 1887 went to Leisenring No. 1 where he was employed as
360

a chief clerk for 10 years. During that time, however a strike swept the region and he was furloughed for a year. He felt that he wanted to be a minister and went to Bethany College. His attendance there caused him to believe that his talents were not intended for the ministry and that he could do as much in line of business. In 1897 he was chosen chief clerk of the Virginia Coal and Coke Company of Stonega, Va. In June of that year Mr. Kurtz returned to Connellsville and was united in marriage to Miss Mary Florence Wolfe, daughter of Lewis Whetzel and Malinda Casteal Wolfe by Rev. W.A. Edie at the First Presbyterian Church on June 24. Mr. Kurtz resigned his Virginia position, coming North in the fall of 1897 to enter the grocery business with his uncle E.J. Enos, on East Crawford avenue on the site of the present Bell Telephone Company building. The following January, they sold the business and Mr. Kurtz went to Scottdale where he was given employment in a bank. Two months later he was offered and accepted appointment as a teller in the Yough National Bank here. He remained there in that capacity until 1902 when he was elected a teller by the Title and Trust Company of Western Pennsylvania but before he assumed these duties, he was named cashier of the Union National Bank on the West Side. He remained with the Title and Trust about a month before taking over his work on the West Side, where he remained until 1905. Then he was elected cashier of the Citizens National Bank, continuing in office until 1929.

During that period he served as superintendent of the Sunday school, teacher of a class of boys, and sucessively filled the offices of deacon and elder. He was chairman of the official board for nine years and last March was elected for another year. In every phase of the church's life he was devoted and loyal to the church's interests. His cordial, friendly attitude drew the membership to him with a warmth of affection, few have ever experienced. Next to his home life, which was ideal in all its relations, the church filled the largest place in his activities, interests and aspirations. In the early years of the Y.M.C.A. in Connellsville he gave much of his time, as a member of the board of directors, to the promotion and upbuilding of this organization. In the rebuilding of the Christian Church in 1921-22 he was a member of the building commitee and contributed many valuable suggestions as to the work which, when completed, provided the congregation with one of the most complete church plants in the city. He had been treasurer of the Salvation Army Board of the city for many years. In his relations to this agency he had been instrumental in making it possible for the Army to continue its work during periods when its resourses were on the verge of exhaustion. He was a member of the Kiwanis Club for several years, that organization providing him an opportunity to maintain an intimate touch with his fellow citizens from which he derived much pleasure and benefit. He was a friend of the public schools, the Carnegie Library and other institutions he regarded as helpful and vital to the development of our citizenry of tomorrow. In all the duties and obligations as a neighbor and resident of his home town. Mr. Kurtz was diligent and faithful. He had an abiding faith in Connellsville and was constantly concerned in its growth and material, moral and spiritual development of its people.

Ralston of Indiana; three grandchildren, Jimmy Stumbaugh of Latrobe and Ernest Kurtz Ralston and Elizabeth Grace Ralston of Indiana, and two brothers A.E. Kurtz of West Green street and J.

366

Winfield Scott, son of Henry Franklin Schenck , was born in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, at Bartonsville, May 8, 1849. He was educated in the private schools at Stephen City, Virginia, and learned the carpenter's trade, serving as an apprentice under George Lambden from 1867 to 1870, at Winchester, Virginia, where he worked as a journeyman until 1872. He then left Virginia, and after six months spent at Cumberland located in Somerset, where he remained until the winter of 1873, going thence to Frostburg, Maryland, for a few months, thence to Braddock, Pennsylvania, remaining until April, 1875, when he located at Connellsville, Pennsylvania, entering the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, April 9, 1875, as a day carpenter. He served in that capacity until 1881, when he was promoted to the foremanship of a "floating gang"; later he was promoted foreman of the road department shops at Connellsville, continuing until 1885, when he was advanced to the position of master carpenter of the Pittsburgh & Connellsville division (now known as the Connellsville division), a position he now holds (1912). He. has served a longer time as master carpenter than any other man ever employed in that capacity on the Baltimore & Ohio system, this being his twenty-seventh year in that position. He has under his charge from sixty to one hundred and thirty men at all times, and has been particularly successful in bridge construction. His greatest feat in this line was in removing an old bridge and placing a new one in position in twenty-three minutes, ready for traffic, the two combined weighing over four hundred thousand pounds, everything of course being ready for the transfer; this is believed to be a world's record, and brought forth a commendatory article in the Engineering News. This is only one line in which Mr. Schenck excels, his entire career as master carpenter having been filled with successful achievement. It is his proud record that he has never been called before the board of inquiry since assuming the duties of master carpenter, and that in his relations with his men he has never found it necessary to use profane language in order to have his instructions obeyed. He is a member of the Master Carpenters' Association, and the Royal Arcanum; is an elder of the Christian church, and in politics a Democrat, and has served as a member of the city council and on the board of education. He married, December 16, 1879, Sarah Jane, daughter of Samuel and Mary Elizabeth (Kantnor) Shaffer, both born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania. Samuel Shaffer was a grocer in Somerset county, later moved to Johnstown,
367

Pennsylvania, where he entered the employ of the Cambria Steel Company. He passed through all the horrors of the Johnstown flood, and although both he and his wife escaped with their lives, the shock so undermined his health that he soon afterward died. Man' Elizabeth, his wife, survived him until 1909. Children of Winfield Scott Schenck : 1. Harry Ellsworth, of whom further. 2. Cora Winn, born January 27, 1887; resides with her parents in Connellsville. 3.

Notes for JOSIAH FREDERICK KURTZ: J.F. KURTZ DIES AFTER LONG SERIOUS ILLNESS WELL KNOWN CITIZEN WHO SERVED IN TOWN COUNCIL AND WHO PITTED MANY IMPORTANT POSTS. J.F. Kurtz, aged 75 years. Josiah Frederick Kurtz, one of Waynesboro's most esteemed citizens, died at his home on North Potomac avenue, at 12:15 o'clock, Sunday morning, aged 75 years, 2 months and 15 days. Mr. Kurtz's death was due to heart trouble, from which he had suffered for the past three years. He, however, became seriously ill only four weeks ago. His condition was grave during this last month and several times he was at the point of death, from which he rallied with a remarkable exhibition of vitality. He was conscious during his illness until Saturday morning. BORN IN SOMERSET Josiah Frederick Kurtz, was born in Somerset, April 3, 1836, the oldest son of Judge John C. Kurtz. When a youth he learned of a hatter in his father's factory. There he remained until he was almost twenty years old, when he decided to engage in another occupation. Mr. Kurtz came from Somerset to Waynesboro in 1855 and at once entered the drug business with his brother-inlaw, Rev. D.J. Eyler, in the latters drug store, which occupied the room on the southwest corner of Main street and the public square, now used by John B. Geiser as a part of his dry goods and notions store. Five years later, on the death of Rev. Eyler he purchased the latters interest in the store and conducted it until 1869, when he disposed of it to Dr. J.B. Amberson. VARIES HIS OCCUPATIONS
377
For several years afterward he was employed in the office of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co. here. Later for two years, he and his brother-in-law Frank Wegley, conducted the butchering business in patnership. Then he moved to a farm south of town, now within the limits of South Waynesboro. For nine years he tilled the soil with the same energy he always gave to his undertakings and at the end of that time moved back to the town proper and took up his residence on West Main street, in the building in which is now the office of Justice of the Peace John A. Potter. In 1880 he moved to North Church street, to the present John J. Miller residence and two years later he established his home in the house on North Potomac street in which he died. There he lived continously for twenty-nine years with the exception of the summer months of the past few years when he and his family have resided at Pen Mar, occupying Hill Crest cottage there. IN HARDWARE STORE For thirty years Mr. Kurtz was chief clerk in the hardware store now owned by Daniel Rinehart. In this time the store had a number of different owners but Mr. Kurtz remained with them all and was an appreciated assistant to the owners, and a popular salesman with the public. In February, 1905 he was elected a member of the borough council and served in that body with conscientious fidelity to the people and their interests. During the last year of his three year term he was president of the council. Mr. Kurtz was a Republican in politics and a man of influence in the party. He was a member of the Lutheran church and served on the council of the local congregation and in other capacities. He was librarian and superintendent of the Sunday school, a deacon and a trustee in the congregation and served in the building committee which erected a large new sanctuary. WITNESSES TOWN'S GROWTH He was a man of extensive reading, of high intelligence and of a tenacious memory. He had a large fund of reminiscences and a storehouse of information concerning the town for more than half a century. When he became a resident of Waynesboro the town was small, with a population of less than 1000, and he saw all its remarkable growth, with liveliest satisfaction, for he was a citizen of progressive ideas and sufficient determination to help carry through any measure on which he took an interest. In 1870 he was a census enumerator for Waynesboro and counted its population as 1260, with 200 dwelling houses.. During 1861 and 1862 Mr. Kurtz was assisant to Postmaster Thomas G. Pilkington, the postoffice being then located in his drug store. He was the first notary public in Waynesboro and was three times appointed to that office. He probated many claims for damages sustained by the community through the invasion of General Lee in 1863. MARRIED OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO On October 17, 1860, Mr. Kurtz was married to Miss Anna E. Wegley, in the house on West Main street now occupied by Frank Wegley. He and Mrs. Kurtz celebrated the fifieth anniversary of there marriage at Hill crest cottage Pen Mar October 17 last, many of their friends gathered there to extend them sincerest congratulations. The occasion was a very happy one. Rev. F.F. Bahner, D.D. and Rev. C.H. Rockey made addresses. Mr. Kurtz is survived by his widow and these children: Misses Mary E., Emma S. and Carrie B. Kurtz, at home, and F.W. Kurtz, Detroit, Michigan. Funeral, Wednesday, 2 p.m. services at the house, conducted by Rev. C.H. Rockey. Interment in Green Hill Cemetery.

EMMA SUSAN KURTZ, b. 25 Oct 1865, Waynesboro (Franklin County) Pa.; d. 15 Feb 1928, Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. Notes for EMMA SUSAN KURTZ: DEATH OF MISS KURTZ BRINGS SORROW TO WIDE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS The death of Miss Emma Kurtz yesterday morning at her home in Blue Ridge, Summit County brought deepest sorrow in a wide circle of relatives and friends. Ever since the death of her mother in November her failing strength has caused her family and friends much solicitude and their fears were justified when an apparently slight cold developed suddenly into broncial pneumonia against which from the first she had no power of resistance. During her mothers weeks of invalidism she had been her constant companion and the strain and grieve caused by her illness and death in November was followed by a gradual but steady decline in Miss Emma's health. While debarred from many activities and pleasures because of an injury which years ago deprived her of the use of one hand and although necessarity cut off from much that she was rarely fitted to appreciate and enjoy, she has carried on with galiant courage that endeared her more and more to those who knew her best. Her generous sympathy and unfailing reponsiveness brought her into close and helpful touch with everyone with whom she was assiciated and with a rare and kind fine reserve she constantly refrained from reference to her own shadowed life. To those who knew her best with an overwhelming sense of loss, how keenly they will miss the influence of her quiet courage, unselfish cheerfulness, unwavering Christian faith and her dear companionship. Miss Emma Kurtz, was the second daughter of the late Josiah F. and Annie E. Kurtz and was born and grew up in Waynesboro, Pa. where she lived until the removal of her family in 1919 to Blue Ridge Summit, Pa. For many years she was a devoted and efficient member of the Waynesboro Lutheran Church keeping up unflagging interest and service in all its activities so long as her home was in Waynesboro. She was acharter member of the Young peoples Missionary society of which she was the corresponding secretary and afterward president for a number of years later being elected a Synodical secretary of the Maryland Missionary society. The deepest sympathy is felt for the doubly beraved family whose loss and sorrow are shared by many friends.
