Ck Census – 9 Jul. 2006
Unproofed
This compilation is broken into four parts as follows:
1) Descendants of William & Sarah (Logan) Love
2) Descendants of Alexander & Elizabeth (Platt) Love.
3) Descendants of X’ Love who stayed in Ireland, a brother of William 1) & Alexander 2) above and the Father of at least four sons who came to the U.S.
4) Descendants of Samuel & Susan (Kirkskadden) Love whose relationship to the above three brothers is uncertain but a daughter Jane Love b. 1826 married Joseph Love b. 1818, a son of X’ Love. They lived in Keene Twp. Coshocton Co., OH and later in Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA.
DNA results from one male descendant from Alexander Love and X’ Love may reveal a close connection. Living male descendants (2005) of William and Samuel Love have not been identified, if they exist.
Descendants of William & Sarah (Logan) Love
of
County Donegal, Ireland, Coshocton Co., OH & Johnson Co., IA
1. Love, William "Billie" b. ca 1784, pb Co. Donegal Co., Ireland, d. 29 Aug. 1856, Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA, bur. lot 53-3, Oakland Cem., Iowa City, 72 yrs., md. ca 1815, probably Coshocton Co., OH area to Sarah Logan b. ca 1791, Ireland, d. 20 Feb. 1865, Iowa City, bur. lot 53-3, Oakland Cem., 74 yrs. Res. Linton Twp., Coshocton Co., OH, Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA.
Ref: Note that in the 1856 census, Sarah was reported as blind at age 67 yrs.
Ref: A probate could not be found for William Love nor his wife, Sarah (Logan) Love in Johnson Co., IA.
Ref: Coshocton Co. Recorder’s office indicated they had no land transfers for a William Love.
Ref: Zanesville Land Office, Ohio Land Recds – William Love, docu. 7361, 80.71 acres, signature, issue date, 3 Sep. 1835, 3 Stat. 566, treaty, 24 Apr. 1820, 1 W1/2SE Ohio River Survey, No. 8N, 8W, 36; William Love, docu. 7362, 40.08 acres, same issue date, 1 NESW, Ohio River Survey, 8N, 8W, 36. (PRO – This likely is not our William Love because Linton Twp. would have been either 4 or 5 W and 4 N. William was likely a squatter or rented land.)
In 1800 the land area that presently includes Coshocton Co., OH was known as Washington Co., OH. By 1810 the area had been modified and the area that presently includes Coshocton Co., OH was known as Muskingum Co., OH. By 1820 the area that is now known as Coshocton Co., OH also included part of what is now Holmes Co., OH. By 1830, the present boundary of Coshocton Co., OH had been determined. It is important to keep these boundary changes in mind when searching for ancestors’ records. Records may indicate several addresses over the years indicating they moved when in fact, they may have remained in one place and the address changed.
Ref: Clerk of Courts, Coshocton, Coshocton Co., OH – William Love, Ireland – Naturalized Oct. 17, 1833. Record D, pg. 355, Common Pleas Court. (Don’t know which William this is?)
Ref: History of Coshocton Co., OH (1740-1881), N. N. Hill, compiler, A. A. Graham, 1881, pg. 544, and p. 547 – “On what was called Irish run, just below Bacon run, (Linton Township), William Love and Alexander Love, great-uncles to Joseph Love, settled in 1810 and 1812, respectively. They were from Ireland.”
“The manufacture of whisky was one of the main industries of pioneer times. Alexander and William Love inaugurated its manufacture in Linton Township. Their still-house, of modest size, was located on Irish Run, near the western line of section 9. The process of distillation was begun here about 1812. The Loves subsequently sold out to Andrew Ferguson who removed the still to Bacon run. ---“
Ref: Mrs. Catherine Mossmann reported that William Love migrated from Scotland to Ireland at the time of the "Weaver Strike" and William was a weaver of carpets. The Coshocton County, OH history records that that William & his brother, Alexander Love were distillers of whiskey in Coshocton Co., OH. Mrs. Mossman reported that William liked to drink his whiskey too.
Ref: A notebook in the possession of G/G Charles J. & Louise B. (Eggimann) Orr, 809 Cedar Lane, Mt. Pleasant, IA during the mid 1970's contained locks of hair sewed to the pages with the following names and notes. I have entered the dates in parentheses to try to identify the individual and the year the locks were cut and sewed into the booklet. I saw the booklet several times but unfortunately at the time didn't record the color of all the hair. Sorry! I have no idea who sewed in the locks of hair as many sides of the family were represented.

11. Caddie Graham, 16 yrs., (ca 1865, I think this must be Caroline Graham, daughter of Benjamin & Jane (Love) Graham. 1865 is a little earlier than most of the other dates.)
12. Yirbly Daniels, no age given, (unknown but Annis, a daughter of William & Sarah (Logan) Love married James B. Daniels.
13. Jimmie Daniels, 77 yrs. or 17 yrs. (for many years I thought it read 77, but 17 fits better for James C. Daniels, son of Joseph B. & Annis (Love) Daniels.

Ref: 1810 Linton Twp., Coshocton Co., OH - William is listed. There may have been children not listed, as Sarah was 21 years when their first known child, Sarah was born. They moved to Johnson Co., IA in 1849 where they lived the rest of their lives.

1 male not naturalized, 1 person engaged in agriculture. The unknown male may be a brother of William or Sarah but probably not a son due to Sarah's age. (It could be a son of William by a previous marriage but we have no indication of William being md. previously. William's brother, Alexander, is listed also on pg. 26A next door to William.)
Ref: Dr. Maro Johnson, Chicago, IL – “This William Love was born in 1784. He married Sarah Logan, probably in Ireland. She was born in 1791, and died 20 Feb. 1865. About 1855, they moved to Iowa City, Iowa, with their daughter, Annis, who had married J. B. Daniels. William Love died 29 August, 1856, aged seventy-two. He and his wife are buried on the Daniels lot in Oakland Cemetery at Iowa City. The above dates are as shown on their gravestones. In addition to their daughter, Annis, born 1825, they had a daughter, Jane, born 1818, who married Benjamin Graham, having a son, Hiram, and possibly others. Nothing more is known of Alexander Love of this generation.”

{If this is William & Sarah (Logan) Love, William is reported too young and there is an extra Love girl or possibly a relative or ???; otherwise the family fits; perhaps another Love girl that we are not aware of, at any rate, she doesn’t appear in the 1840 census. William is not listed as being an alien.} (PRO – I suspect this is not William & Sarah (Logan) Love as they are found in the 1840 census living in Linton Twp.

Ref: Iowa City Republican, Iowa City, IA, Friday, 1 April 1904, pg. 8 - Mrs. Jane Graham died at 2:15 p.m. this afternoon at the home of A. W. Bradley on South Governor Street.
Pg. 5 same reference - The funeral of the late Mrs. Jane Graham took place this morning at ten o'clock from the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. W. Bradley, of South Governor Street. The services were conducted by Rev. D. W. Wylie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, of which the deceased has long been a faithful member. Interment was in Oakland cemetery.
Mrs. Graham, who was nearly 85 years of age, was born in Ohio in July of 1818. Her maiden name was Jane Love. She was one of the first settlers of Johnson county having come here with her husband, the late Benjamin graham, nearly fifty-five years ago, and she had lived here continuously ever since. She was well known as one of the highly esteemed pioneers of Iowa and her many womanly traits of character and acts of kindness to all made her beloved by all who knew her. Death came peacefully.
Ref: Daily Iowa State Press, Iowa City, IA, Sat., 2 Apr. 1904 – Loved Pioneer Is Called Home – Mrs. Jane Graham Summoned To Eternal Reward – Good Woman Passes Away At Very Advanced Age – Sadness came to many hearts last evening when the announcement of the death of Mrs. Jane Graham was read in the State Press.
Mrs. Graham was approaching 85 years of age, having been born in Coshocton Co., OH, July 11, 1818. Jane Love was her maiden name, and she became the wife of Benjamin Graham, in the city of her birth. In 1849, in the month of November, she came to Johnson county, and lived here from that long gone day until the end came yesterday, nearly 55 years after her arrival here, as one of the first settlers of the county.
She passed away at 2:15 o’clock at the home of her son-in-law, A. W. Bradley, on South Governor Street. Quietly and peacefully, as if falling asleep she breathed her last, for she faded away from old age, rather than suffering any especial ailment.
Mrs. Graham was a member of the Presbyterian Church, to which she had been devoted since her young years in Ohio. In the church and out, she was esteemed and admired, and her kindly disposition and warm hearted ways will ever be remembered by a host of loving friends.
These friends united in sorrow, will also unite in expressing sympathy with the bereaved children, who have lost a noble mother. The sons and daughters are: Robert B. Graham, Caroline S. (Mrs. Bradley); James K. Graham, Elizabeth (Mrs. Edward Long); Jennie (Mrs. J. F. Hill); Mollie (Mrs. Frank Long). All live in Iowa City except Mrs. Edward Long whose home is in Cedar Rapids.
The funeral of the worthy pioneer will take place from the residence of Mr. Bradley on South Governor Street at 10 o’clock on Monday, April 4th.
Ref: In Memoriam – Miss Jane Love was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, July 11, 1818.
On Nov. 14, 1844, she was married to Mr. Benj. Graham. In 1849 they came to Iowa and settled in Johnson County where they have since resided.
After a lingering illness, Mrs. Graham passed away, Friday, April 1, 1904. Two brothers and a sister survive her: Mr. Hiram Love of OR, Mr. T. A. Love of Georgetown, CO and Mrs. T. B. Daniels.
She also leaves behind to mourn her departure, six children, Mr. Robt. Graham, Mrs. James Graham, Mrs. A. W. Bradley, Mrs. Ed Lory, Mrs. F. F. Hill, Mrs. F. J. Long.
Mrs. Graham united with the church at the age of fourteen, so for seventy-two years she has been true to her church duties as well as to the manifold cares of her home. When they came to Iowa, the family united with the old Stone church, later they practically built the Graham church which is now called the Scott Presbyterian. Of late years Mrs. Graham has been a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Iowa City. However much expectancy there may be to hear the summons to come into the “Other Room”, yet when the call does come I finds even those who leave their here score years and ten, wishing that still the shadow may be cast backward upon the dial and a few more golden days be given. Completeness may, perhaps, never be attained. We may only hope to make life true. This was the ambition of Mrs. Graham, the desire for that truth which expressed itself in loving service to her children, in loyalty to her fiends, and devotion to her church. Her’s was the hope which became assurance that “In the Father’s house are many mansions.” For her the “Other Room” was a place of light and joy.
“Se to my passing!
My task accomplished and the long day done,
My wages taken, and in my heart some late lark singing,
Let me be gathered to the quiet woes,
The Sundown splendid and serene, Death.”
Ref: Mrs. Jane Graham’s will is on file in the office of County Clerk Koser. It is dated January 10, 1894, and has a codicil, under date of July 9, 1901.
The main instrument is witnessed by Joe A. Edwards, lae attorney-at-law and Mary Morrison, and the codicil, by Judge O. A. Byington and Catherine Brennan.
Mrs. Graham bequeaths her property to her children, Robert S. Graham, James K. Graham, Caroline S. Bradley, Louia Long, Annie E. Long and Josephine Hill, and to their children. She names Robert B. Graham as executor.
Ref: During the year 1816, Benjamin Graham moved with his parents and brother, Miller, from Co. Tyrone, Province of Ulster, Ireland to Washington Co., PA where a brother, Thomas, was born. By 1819 they were living in or near Steubenville, OH where a sister, Mary Jane and a brother, William was born. Sometime in the year 1821 they moved to Coshocton Co., OH where on 8 Sep. they purchased from the U. S. Government land in the Northwest corner of White-Eyes Twp., further described as E 1/2, SW 1/4, Sec. 5, Twp. 6, Range 5 West which lies northwest of the town of Fresno (formerly Avondale). In I849, Benjamin and wife, Jane (Love) Graham moved to Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA.
Ref: Iowa City Daily Republican, Thursday, April 20, 1882; City Talk, The funeral of the late Benjamin Graham will occur tomorrow Friday morning at 11 o'clock, from the family residence in Scott township.
Ref: Iowa City Daily Republican, Friday, April 21, 1882, In Memorial -- On March 4th, 1816, there was born in Ireland, of Scotch-Irish parentage, the subject of this sketch, the late Benjamin Graham. When three years old, he came with his parents to America, and finally settled in Coshocton county, Ohio. His boyhood was spent in hard labor, and for he came of an industrious family, and early learned the necessity and advantage of honest, manly toil. In 1866, Mr. Graham was married to Miss Jane Love, at Coshocton, who for thirty-eight years has been his faithful and loving companion, and who still survives him. Five years suited to his taste. He selected and located a claim in Scott township, which he began to improve, and upon which he has ever since lived, enjoying the wonderful transformation of a wild prairie into one of the grandest farms in Iowa, the result of indefatigable toil and a manly course of life. Of the privations that the early settlers endured, Mr. Graham enjoyed his full share, but he met them with a stout heart, and overcame them as only men of his strong will and determined character can. In the course of years there grew up around Mr. and Mrs. Graham a family of two sons and four daughters. From the first settlement of the family in Iowa, they acquired the good will of their acquaintances, and by their neighborly acts they have exerted an influence for good among all those who knew them. Mr. Graham was a man of sterling worth and unblemished character, and his example was of value in the surrounding community. He was noted for his thrifty management and the thoroughness with which he did with whatever he undertook. He was unusually industrious, pursuing his farm labors almost to the day of his death. For several months past he had been complaining of not feeling as well as usual. On the 13th, he attended the funeral of his old friend, the lamented Dr. Tulloss. The next day he felt so ill that he was compelled to take to his bed. Dr. Hobby was called to see him, and found his suffering with an attack of pneumonia. On Tuesday the 18th he apparently was not dangerously sick up to the hour of two o'clock in the morning, but at four o'clock he was dead. His closing moments were calm and peaceful and after a brief illness his spirit winged its way to a better world.
In early life, Mr. Graham joined the Presbyterian church, of which he had always been a faithful member. One of his old and closest friends was the Rev. Dr. Porter, of this city, who officiated at the final obsequies, which were held at his former residence this morning, in the presence of a large gathering of sympathizing friends. The interment was in the cemetery in Iowa City.
Mr. Graham will long be missed in the ranks of the best farmers and citizens of the county, and his sudden death brings surprise and grief to many hearts. This is the first shadow upon the family, not a death having occurred therein since its formation. He has lived to see all his children grow up and settled down, useful members of society. The children are Robert and James, Mrs. Abner Bradley, Mrs. Edward Long, Mrs. F. H. Hill and Mrs. Frank Long.

Stuart, dtd. 23 Feb. 2000, kestuart@ – Lee Graham, a descendant of Benjamin & Mary (Miller) Graham through their son, Thomas reports that she found five land transfers from 1821 through 1835 for Benjamin Graham in White Eyes Twp. where he is reported in the 1830 census, Keene Twp. and Crawford Twp. Benjamin’s son, Miller Graham lived on one of those and later moved into Avondale which later became Fresno. He married Mary Raymer (the Raymers were residents of Keene Twp.) – I have a copy of his obituary, which appeared in Sep. 1891 on the front page of the Coshocton weekly paper. I know of four sons of Benjamin & Mary; your Benjamin, husband of Jane Love, Miller Graham who md. Mary Raymer, Thomas Graham who we believe md. Rebecca Stillwell and James K. Graham who md.

Mary Graham was living in 1860 on the same property with Miller Graham and family in Crawford Twp. She died about 1868 and is buried at Amity Cem., as is Miller Graham.
In Miller Graham’s obit, it says that his brothers and one sister were at his bedside the week before he died. It says that one was living in IA and one in IL. Thomas migrated in the 1860’s to Jasper Co., IL. Lee Graham (2000) lives in Albuquerque, NM.
Ref: In undated article furnished by Mr. Richard Long, Nov. 1966, Iowa City, IA - Half-Way House, Old Stage Coach Stop, Is Better Than When Erected 100 Years Ago - Iowa City - In the hands of appreciative owners old houses improve with age. Proving this is the large white farm residence of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Johnson on American Legion road off highway 6 about 5 miles southeast of Iowa City. It is a showplace affording many more comforts than when erected in the early 1850’s.
Basically few changes were made but the structure has been consistently updated.
Hackberries and ash now tower above the two-story structure. They were planted by Benjamin Graham who bought the home site and its 160 acres of farmland from the United States government on March 6, 1850 for $2.50 an acre.
An all weather driveway now winds across a park-like yard to a side entrance that years ago replaced a front door through which weary travelers had passed when this house, up to 1864, was a stage coach stop where drivers changed horses on the way from Newton to Muscatine.
Two chimneys, necessary when all the rooms had stove heat, can be seen from the road. Still standing are the old water tower and an early day ice house that Mr. Johnson now uses for his workshop.
In the old stone walled cellar close inspection can be made of the massive hand-hewn white oak beams and ends of 3x4-inch oak studding cut with a broad axe.
Rooms are spacious, replastered but unchanged in dimensions. Through the years modern plumbing has been installed, electricity replaced lamps and instead of stoves the Johnsons now use liquid propane gas for central heating, cooking and to heat water.
Aside from these conveniences, added as they came into being, the house is much the same as when the first owner, Benjamin Graham, built it of lumber cut from logs floated down the Mississippi. (The story is that he also donated logs for the old Scott Church that for many years stood just south of the farm).
Floors downstairs are new oak but in the four upstairs bedrooms they still have the wide boards and the same huge walk-in closets. Long ago the open stairway and its center hall were closed off but upstairs the original walnut banister continues to guard the stair well.
Below, part of the hall was partitioned to provide an L shaped bathroom that can be entered from the master bedroom or from the large dining room.
This dining room used to be a farmhouse kitchen but the Johnsons have their compact modern kitchen in space that used to be a pantry. A wide square open arch connects it with the dining room. Both have the same stone pattern linoleum flooring but walls are different.
They are painted and tiled in the kitchen whereas the dining room is papered - a small gold design on white for three walls to better display articles once common to every household - a wire rug beater, lifts for the -- from part of the headboard and sideboard of a walnut bed that belonged to Mrs. Johnson’s parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. David McClure who bought this farm Oct. 15, 1913. Earlier owners had been Mr. and Mrs. George Bothell and Prof. Thomas Huston Macbride, once president of the University of Iowa.
After Mr. McClure’s death in 1952, his daughter, Mable McClure Johnson, continued to occupy the house.
This always has been known as Half-Way house. Samuel Slemmons, the great uncle of S. K. Slemmons, 717 Rundell street, Iowa City, operated the stagecoach that used to make its stops here. When the railroad came around 1864 he moved on west to operate a stagecoach. Conrad Paulas, grandfather of Miss Martha Paulus of Iowa City, did the blacksmith work for Mr. Slemmons’ stagecoach horses and Miss Paulus still has in her possession the anvil he used.
In earlier days the water tower back of Half-Way house stored water pumped by windmill for the house and barns. Its use ended when the Johnsons drilled a 400-foot well and installed a submersible pump.
Recent years also saw the addition of a room air conditioner for summer comfort; in winter the central heating thermostat is set to maintain a constant temperature of 70 degrees.
New windows have been installed throughout the house. In the living room and parlor small windows of the original structure have been replaced with a large picture window for the living room and a section of ??? windows of the same dimension for the parlor.
The front door which these would have flanked was boarded --

Ref: Allen Hermann - Benjamin Graham Jr. (Phil’s Great Grandfather – James' Father)
Benjamin was born March 4, 1816 in Ulster Province, Tyrone County Ireland. Ben immigrated to the U.S. in 1816, first going to Pennsylvania, then to Ohio by 1819. Ben married Jane November 14, 1844 in Coshocton Ohio. In 1849 Benjamin Graham, Jr., moved his wife and two children by covered wagon to the farm near Iowa City, Iowa. They left Coshocton County on October 1, 1849 and arrived at Dubuque, Iowa, 31 days later. There is some evidence that they sought land in Illinois and Wisconsin before settling in Iowa. On September 11, 1850 the U. S. Census found this family located on a farm in Iowa City Townships, Johnson County, Iowa. According to an article in the August 7, 1908 Iowa City Citizen about old Johnson County Pioneers, in 1857 Benjamin operated a “then widely known and hospitable tavern in Scott Township near where the Scott township Presbyterian Church now stands” (He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and a republican in politics. Source: History of Johnson County IA 1836-1882, pub. 1883 in Iowa City, p.831.) According to writing by a Mabel Leech in 1934, Benjamin and Jane were founding members of the Scott Presbyterian Church which was located about 6 miles southeast of Iowa City on Highway 6 and was a community hall in 1934. In the 1880 U. S. Census, Ben was still a farmer. He died April 18, 1882 at 66 years, 1 month, 14 days in Iowa City and is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City, Iowa Lot 53-6.
Ref: Allen Hermann - Jane Love (Phil’s Great Grandmother – James' Mother)
Jane was born July 11, 1818 in Coshocton Ohio. Her and Benjamin were devote Presbyterians and helped build the Graham Church, later called the Scott Presbyterian Church. According to the Iowa City Directory of 1890, she was a widow living at 218 North Dubuque. Jane lived with son James in 1895 in Johnson County IA. Jane was living with her widowed daughter Louise Long in Iowa City in 1900. Jane died April 1, 1904 at 85 years, 8 months, 20 days in Iowa City at the home of her son-in-law Abner W. Bradley and is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City, Iowa Lot 53-6.

Ref: Portrait and Biographical Record; Johnson, Poweshiek and Iowa Counties, Iowa; Chicago, Chapman Bros; 1893, pg. 431 -- Robert B. Graham, a prominent representative general agriculturist and successful stock raiser of Johnson County, Iowa came in the spring of 1850, and with the exception of a very brief period has been a permanent resident in his present locality for forty-three years. From early youth identified with the growth of public enterprise, he has since attaining manhood actively participated in local affairs, and as Township Trustee has materially aided in the promotion of the best interests of the community and worthily won the esteem of the general public. Our subject was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1845, and was therefore but four years old when, in the winter of 1849, his father and mother, Benjamin and Jane (Love) Graham, came with their two little children to Iowa City and there spent the season prior to the beginning of their long residence in Scott Township.
The father, the late Benjamin Graham, was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, born March 4, 1816, and was an infant of three weeks when his parents embarked for America. He passed his early youth in Pennsylvania, but when about seventeen years of age he accompanied his father and mother to Coshocton County, Ohio, where, attaining his majority, he soon after married. Two little ones had blessed the home with their presence, a son and daughter, Robert B. and Caroline S., now Mrs. Abner Bradley, before with wife and children he journeyed to Johnson County in 1849. Settling in the spring in 1850 upon the land which he had purchased in Scott Township, he continued to reside there, with the exception of one year when he lived in Iowa City, until his death. He was a cabinetmaker by trade and an accomplished workman, but from the time he located permanently in Scott Township he devoted himself to agricultural pursuits.
As a tiller of the soil Benjamin Graham was abundantly prospered, owning at the close of his life one thousand and thirteen acres of excellent land. He was a valued member of the Presbyterian church and contributed liberally to the support and extension of religious influence. Foremost in benevolent enterprises and actively interested in the progress of the township, his death was mourned as a public loss when, upon the 18th of April 1882, he passed away. His wife, the mother of our subject, was born July 11, 1818, and yet survives her husband. Robert B. was the eldest of six children, of whom one son and three daughters were born in Johnson County. Mr. Graham received a common school education in the schools of Scott Township, afterward enjoying a six months course of instruction in the State University. For two years he was the owner and manager of a machine shop in Iowa City, but with this exception has given his entire attention to farming in Scott Township with most profitable results.
Our subject was married in Muscatine County, Iowa, Dec. 14, 1871, to Miss Nancy A. Pringey, a native of Penn., born in Somerset Co., Nov. 12, 1852. Her father, Jonathan Pringey, born June 9, 1818, and her mother, Elsie (Colburn) Pringey, were both natives of the Quaker State, but later made their home in Iowa, the mother dying in Muscatine County in 1868. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Pringey consisted of three sons and four daughters, Mrs. Graham being the fourth child in order of birth. Seven children brightened the home circle of Mrs. and Mrs. Graham, of whom but five are now living; Luella, Harry L., Albert B., Leroy and Laura E. Charles R. died at four years of age and one passed away in infancy. The homestead, whose extensive acreage is located upon section 27, is noted as the abode of hospitality and is the scene of many a social gathering, the parents and their entire family possessing the universal regard and high esteem of a host of old-time acquaintances. No man in all the county round has a larger store of delightful and entertaining reminiscences of early days in Johnson County than our subject, who although only advanced to middle age has witnessed the development of the unbroken prairies of the state into the waving cornfields whose golden wealth of harvest has so well repaid the patient tillers of Iowa's fertile soil. Fraternally, Mr. Graham is associated with the Ancient Free & Accepted Masons and is also an honored member of the Farmer's Alliance.
Ref: Leading Events In Johnson County, Iowa, Biographical, Western Historical Press; 1913; Cedar Rapids, Iowa, pg. 137 - Robert B. Graham -- There is always a peculiar connection between a man's name and his occupation or the business he is engaged in. Especially is this true when the business has been long established under the same management. For instance, the name of Graham and Livery. The "Graham Livery" is so thoroughly identified with the business interests of Iowa City that it is almost impossible to think of one without the association of the other. To think of Graham it is so very natural to immediately think of the livery business, and if one's attention is called to the livery business it is at once associated with the name of Bob Graham. Probably no other man in the county is better or more favorably known than Mr. Graham.
Robert B. Graham was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, August 8, 1845. His parents were Benjamin and Jane (Love) Graham. Benjamin Graham was born in Ireland, and came to America with his parents when three weeks old. He used to remark that "he began life at an early age." The family settled first in Pennsylvania; afterwards moving to Ohio, and on October 1, 1849, the young couple left their Buckeye home and started for Iowa, taking with them young "Bob", age two, and Caroline, then just past four years of age. They landed at Dubuque, IA thirty-one days later. Prior to their arrival in Illinois?, the family made a tour of Wisconsin, but not being satisfied with conditions in the Badger state, came to Iowa and stopped for awhile at Vinton, where they had friends. Thence they came on to Iowa City, arriving in the month of November, 1849. From that time to the present "Bob" Graham has never been outside of Johnson county at anyone time longer than three and one-half months. This proves that the county "looked good to him" from the beginning and all the way through.
Benjamin Graham was an influential man in the county in his day, being one of the largest landowners and most public-spirited men of his time. Everything relating to the welfare of the county and the betterment of conditions enlisted his cooperation. At the time of his death, April 18, 1882, he owned 1,013 acres of land in Johnson county. Six children were born to Benjamin and Jane Graham, our subject being the oldest. The others are: Caroline S., now Mrs. A. W. Bradley, of Chicago; James K., residing in Iowa City; Annie E., now Mrs. Ed Long, of Cedar Rapids; Josephine and Louise, twins, the former now Mrs. J. F. Hill, of Iowa City, and the latter Mrs. F. J. Long, of Iowa City. Mother Graham died April 1, 1904.
After securing a good fundamental education in the country schools, our subject engaged in farming in Scott township, and continued therein until 1883. In that year he moved to Iowa City. In 1885, however, he returned to the farm, where he remained for fourteen years. November 9, 1899, he bought the livery and stock business where he was located until March 6, 1912, 217 - 221 East Washington Street. His son, Harry L., is now associated with him in the business under the firm name of Graham & Son.
On Dec. 14, 1871, Mr. Graham was married to Miss Nancy A. Pringey, a native of Virginia, who came to Iowa with her parents when a child. The Pringey's settled in Muscatine county, where the mother died in 1868. The father died November 25, 1911, at the age of ninety-three. Mrs. and Mrs. Graham have five children: Luella, residing at home; Harry L., in business with his father; Albert B., associated with C. R. Owen in the C. O. D. laundry in Iowa City; Leroy, a student in the Dental Department at State University of Iowa; Laura Elsie, living at home, graduate of the Iowa City Commercial College.
Our subject is liberal as to local politics and republican on national issues. He is a Knight Templar and a member of the B. P. O. E. of Iowa City. Mrs. Graham and daughter, Luella, are members of the Eastern Star.
Ref: Iowa City Press Citizen, 19 Oct. 1914 - Robert Graham Died This Morn - Robert B. Graham, a pioneer business man and farmer of Johnson county, died this morning at 9:45 at his home, 305 East Burlington street. He had been in failing health, but the end came quite suddenly. Creeping paralysis was the cause of his death.
Mr. Graham was one of the best known men in Johnson county. He moved to this county in November of 1849 with his parents, and grew up in the country east of Iowa City. His father owned a great deal of Johnson county land and was the possessor of over 1000 acres when he died in 1882.
Robert Graham was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1845, his parents moving to this country from Ireland. The family moved to Iowa overland in 1849. He was educated in the country schools and married in 1871 to Miss Nancy A. Pringey, of Muscatine county, a native of Virginia.
He farmed in Scott township until 1883, when he moved to Iowa City, but he returned to the farm in 1885 and remained there for fourteen years. In 1899 he bought a livery business established on East Washington street on the site now occupied by the Englehart theatre, and continued in the business there until 1912 when he moved to his present location on Capitol and his son became associated in the business with him.
Mr. Graham was known over the entire country, and Graham's livery barn was one of the best-known business institutions in the city. He carried on his business in a quiet and thorough manner and had the respect of the entire community. He was a member of the B. P. O. E. and also a Mason and a Knight Templar.
Several children survive him besides his wife, Miss Luella is at home; Harry L., was associated with his father in the livery business; Albert B. is at home; LeRoy is a graduate of the University Dental College and is associated with Dr. John Voss of this city; and Laura Elsie, now Mrs. A.

Long, also of this city.

Ref: Iowa City Press – Citizen, Iowa City, IA, 24 Aug. 1921, pg. 5 – Mrs. Martin’s Death IS Sad – At half-after seven this morning, Mrs. Almond D. Martin, a young wife and mother, passed away under peculiarly sad circumstances.
Death ever spells sorrow, and is painful to friends to read or record, but there are times when the dread visitant’s coming to a household seems inexpressibly grievous, an unbearably great burden of woe. The passing of this beloved young woman is one of that unusually sorrowful type.
Mrs. Martin’s life, forth-eight hours before, seemed assured of brightness and joy, in that to her had come a wee lad and lassie, on Monday morning, August 22nd. She, herself, selected the name of Phyllis for the girl, who arrived at 7:30 and of Robert, for the twin brother, born a quarter of an hour afterwards. Rejoicing in the advent of these bits of human sunshine in a mother’s life, Mrs. Martin anticipated many a glad year to follow, and all seemed well, until Monday afternoon, as eventide approached. Suddenly she became a victim of eclempsis-convulsions that often brings a tragic climax to a mother’s supreme sacrifice. These, in her case, were recurrent from 4:30 that afternoon, until Tuesday morning, about 1 o’clock. Then in natural sequence, came coma. Thereafter, despite the continued and continuous efforts of a skilled physician, and trained nurses, this comatose state prevailed, and the mysterious and fatal affliction baffled, as it has many a time before, defied, the ablest of medical and surgical scientists.
Flaming fever claimed her as its own, as Tuesday waxed and waned, and the new-come morning arrived today. At seven-thirty, the brave, but futile, battle ended, and the young woman fell asleep.
Mrs. Martin would have been 32 had she lived until November 20. She was born on the old-time Graham farm in Scott Township and was the daughter of Mr. Robert Graham, deceased and Mrs. Nancy Graham, who survives.
As Elsie Graham, she attended the eighth grade and high schools of Iowa City, and was reared to a lovely young womanhood in this community. She was married here to Mr. A. D. Martin on Sep. 24, 1913. To them were born three children, Betty, who will be seven next month, and her new brother and sister. The two tiny tots, of course, cannot, for years, appreciate the terrible loss that has befallen them. To dainty little Betty and her stricken father, the community will tender condolences, deep and sincere. Even while expressing sorrow and sympathy, words are of slight value at such an hour, but they voice affection and sorrow, from the depths of the heart, even though they cannot banish the crushing weight that bows the heads of the grieving ones today. Beside the young husband, who is a trusted member of the Rock Island Railway company staff, at the Wright street station; and the three children, there also survive the mother, Mrs. Nancy Graham; a sister, Lulu, and three brothers, Dr. L. P. Graham, Albert Graham, and Harry Graham, all of Iowa City.
Sharing their grief will be Mrs. Martin’s co-workers in social and religious circles. She was a tried and true member of the Eastern Star, the White Shrine, the Homesteaders, and the Presbyterian Church. In each of these groups of appreciative men and women, Elsie (Graham) Martin was highly esteemed by one and all.
Hers was a sweet and lovable nature. Her heart was of pure gold, and their friends who have known her all her life are those who know her best and will be the most deeply-stricken, as they mourn long and deeply.

She came to Iowa with her parents, when a mere child. She was educated in the university of Iowa, in later years. She was married to Abner Bradley, in November, 1875. She passed away on the 7th day of June. Surviving, to mourn her death, are her husband and two sons -- Atwood and Graham.
She is at rest. She sleeps somewhere beneath the shadow of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine of storm. She carried tenderly in her heart the frailties of others in human life. She walked in the highways of eternal right all her life. She has obeyed the mandate which sooner or later must come to all. She has laid down life’s duties, responsibilities and cares, and at rest in the cemetery of the beautiful city in which she lived so long. She sleeps on the bands of that beautiful river, where since her early childhood, she lived, labored, loved, and beloved by all who knew her, sleeping the last long sleep, while the garland of earthly honors and love, that surrounded her in life, have but changed to a wreath of fadeless beauty in that place beyond the shadow.
We do not know whether the grave is the end or the beginning of life -- whether it is a wall beyond which we cannot go, or whether it is a door, leading out to a beautiful everlasting eternity, but if the latter, we may feel sure that she is there. She is gone from the sight of her many friends, and from earth forever, but she will be remembered long by those who knew her best -- as long as time shall last, for her many acts of love and kindness.
The heath is now her pillow, and the tombstone will soon mark her last resting place; but what are touches them and they become unsightly. Time presses them in his they? Cold and inanimate, time rude grasp and they are gone, but the memory of her life and noble acts of kindness will live, and will remain fresh in the memory of her many friends, and will survive even the accidents of time. And now while we stand in the midst of the silent city of the dead, where we find in almost every square rod some relative or fiend whom we knew and loved in life, and while we weave a chaplet of flowers, and strew the beauties of nature about her grave, we are pleased to know that the memory of her noble life and kindly acts will live to the end of time. -- A Friend of the Family.

He left here about fifteen years ago, and has been in the commission business in Chicago. In Iowa City, he was a fine stockman, and owner of many tracts of realty, and was also an auctioneer for years, thereby gaining his popular title, “Colonel.” He was approaching three score and ten.
Surviving are his widow, and two children by his first wife, Benjamin Graham Bradley of Steamboat Springs, CO and alumnus of the S.U.I. college of applied science, class of 1908 whose wife, a member of the same class, was Miss Alice Swisher, Iowa City and Atwood Bradley, of Los Angeles, CA.

Ref: Ltr to PRO dtd 14 Feb. 1962, Iowa City, IA from Alice S. Bradley (Mrs. B. Graham Bradley) 305 Summit St. – My dear Mr. Orr – Yes, this is our lineage and I am very glad to help in any way. First of all, I think your greatest help could come from a man who could come from a man who lives in Chicago. He is Mr. Maro Johnson, 5528 Hyde Park Blv’d, Chicago 37, IL. I telephoned our University alumni office today and confirmed it. His mother was a Love and I believe a sister of Annis Love – (Mrs. Daniels).
I married Benjamin Graham Bradley, son of Caroline S. and Abner Bradley, grandson of Benjamin Graham. So my knowledge of the family is “spotty” and not very clear. Your information about the family seems accurate to me. The Albert Grahams live here – He is Bob’s son – They have 2 sons, Don & John and several grandchildren. They own a large cleaning business and are a fine family. I think just Albert Graham, Iowa City would reach him. It is the Paris Cleaners.
One more who would be glad to help is my husband’s brother – Atwood Bradley. He lives in Ontario, CA – 5600 Mission Blv’d, #9. But the one who would know more about the Love’s would be Maro Johnson – He had one sister Eliza who died within the last two or 3 years. I think. I’d suggest that you write him as soon as possible.
Mrs. Daniels was our neighbor and we thought a great deal of her. She had 3 daughters and two or three sons. Her daughters were Jennie (sons (2) Gage and Joe (a cripple) and a younger daughter “Love Daniels” – This daughter was very beautiful – married a very wealthy man and in later years took care of some of the family – especially one sister I can’t remember but who lived in Omaha. Love had two daughters – Marion and Ruth – Both died in their early marriage life. Love died about 5 years ago.
Maro may be able to direct you to others – I hope this will help a little. I think it is a wonderful thing for you to do. My husband died in 1939 – We have one son – Ingalls Bradley – married to Helen Wright and lives in Rochester, NY. They have 2 children – Graham (12 yrs.) and Christine (8 yrs.)
Thank you for writing to me and call on me again if you need to. Sincerely, Alice S. Bradley. I’ve just remembered the other sister – Libby.

Ref: Allen Hermann - James Karr Graham (Phil’s Grandfather)
James was born March 16, 1851 in Johnson County Iowa. According to the 1870 U. S. Census, he was living at home on a farm in Johnson County residing in Scott Township, post-office Iowa City. James married Harriet N. Westcott December 22, 1873 and they lived on a farm in Johnson County, until at least the end of 1874. Sometime after 1874 James and Hattie moved to Clear Lake Cerro Gordo County IA staying there until at least 1877 (see Note below). While in Clear Lake, James belonged to the Clear Lake Cornet Band playing Baritone. He was also the band’s engagement manager. Several references to other Cornet Bands were found in newspapers of the period so they must have been a popular form of entertainment during the 1870’s and 1880’s. The 1880 census confirms that the other band members were from Clear Lake. The family moved back to Johnson County by June of 1880. They were living in Shueyville in northern Johnson County in August 1891. James was an alcoholic for a long time as he noted in an article in the Iowa City Daily Citizen May 20, 1893 where he gave a testimonial for his cure by the Clark Gold Cure Institute in Iowa City located at 29 Madison Street. James sold watches and other jewelry in Montezuma Iowa, 60 miles west of Iowa City at some point as reflected in a business card that exists. He moved to Iowa City sometime after 1895 (in Iowa City in 1900 census). (He was a republican in politics. Source: History of Johnson County IA 1836-1882, pub. 1883 in Iowa City, p.830.) According to the 1915 Johnson County Iowa Census James was a resident of the Hospital for inebriatis. He died December 30, 1918 (as verified by Iowa City Citizen of Jan 3, 1919) in Iowa City and is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City IA.
Note: A part of a ledger that records alcohol sales from 1870 to 1875 exists (it was used by Hattie to paste recipes on) and seems to be, based on comparison to 1870 census data, for a location in Lake Township of Cerro Gordo County IA. James’ son Benjamin was born in Clear Lake in this county in 1877 so this might be from some related establishment. The family lived there for a period of time between 1874 and 1880. The ledger lists as the reason for the sale as “medicinal” since Iowa had prohibition to alcohol during this time. In 1855 the state legislature prohibited the sale of alcohol, but local governments did not always enforce the laws. It was repealed in 1933 with the national end to prohibition.
Ref: Allen Hermann - Harriet Norwood Westcott (Phil’s Grandmother)
Hattie was born September 27, 1855 in Milford New York (65 miles west of Albany) to Moses A. Westcott and Lydia Caroline Goodrich. She moved to a farm in Johnson County Iowa in 1857. By January 27, 1893 Hattie had moved to Iowa City with the 5 children (she and James were separated by then and she later divorced James in about 1895). In 1910 Hattie and son Sennett were living with the Louis Schump family in Iowa City (same person who owned the company George Hermann worked for). While in Iowa City Hattie was active in several civic societies including the Royal Neighbors and the Iowa City Homestead No. 924 Brotherhood of American Yeoman. She moved to Hinckley Minnesota in about 1914 to live with Daughter Effie Hermann and her family. Hattie was admitted into the Daughters of the American Revolution April 27, 1925 (No 211228) based on her Great-Great-Great Grandfather Nathan Westcott’s participation in the Revolutionary War. Harriet died October 8, 1933 (Cert No 011371) in Hinckley and is buried in Brook Park Cemetery MN.
Children: Edith Young, Benjamin W., Effie Hermann, Sennett I. (Jim), and Jane Farnsworth. (See Appendix A)

Ref: 2002 - Tom Simon – tsimon@ - The Serendipity Singers – The Serendipity Singers hit the chart briefly in the mid-60’s and made their contributions to music through folk, pop an even some show tunes.
The group was formed at the University of Colorado by students Bryan Sennet, Mike Brovsky and Brooks Hatch. They assembled a group that comprised nine members including vocalists Lynne Weintraub, Diane Decker and Tommy Tieman, guitarists John Madden and Jon Arbenz and bass player Bob Young. The group began to perform on college campuses, mostly in the Western United States.
The Serendipity Singers became more noticeable following a performance at the Bitter End in New York’s Greenwich Village. They appeared on the scene shortly after groups such as Peter, Paul and Mary and the New Chisty Minstrels had helped to make folk music popular. The Serendipity Singers projected a squeaky clean image. In the Spring of 1964 their song Don’t Let The Rain Come Down (Crooked Little Man) was a top ten hit. They appeared on the popular television show Hootenanny. The group followed with their final top forty song, Beans In My Ears, later in 1964.
Bob Dylan took folk music electric and the British Invasion began, and the type of music with which the Serendipity Singers were associated went out of style. The group continued to record albums and perform live and occasionally on television. Following a number of personnel changes they were still going in 1990’s.

An ardent fisherman, the retired Spanish-American war veteran had just purchased a new fishing rod.
The trip ended in tragedy early today as searchers recovered his body in 10 feet of water, first drowning in the reservoir since the dam’s completion in 1946.
Deputy sheriffs William Woodard and Floyd Wickline said he evidently lost his footing and slipped down a steep bank into the water. They estimated that Mr. Graham drowned shortly after his arrival at the reservoir, between 3 and 4 p.m.
The search began last night when Mrs. Ann Graham reported her husband had failed to return from the fishing trip.
The body was found about 2:30 a.m. by Paul Malone, a member of the searching party.
Woodard and Wickline said they found Mr. Graham’s cigarettes, bait and fishing equipment laid out on the bank.
He evidently fell into the water before he had a chance to use his new fishing pole, they said.

Benjamin W. (born February 16, 1877 at Clear Lake Cerro Gordo County IA – noted in Graham family bible (See note below). He was the only sibling born at a location different from Johnson County. Ben wrote a column in the Iowa City newspaper of his experiences in the Army in the Philippines in 1904. He returned from the Philippines in April 1905. In September 1918 WWI Draft Registration Ben was living in Atascadero San Luis Obispo County CA and listed Della Graham, his wife also from Atascadero. In 1920 Ben and Dell were living in Detroit Michigan with another family, where he was a machinist in a factory. February 25, 1922, the Iowa City Press Citizen has Della and Benjamin being granted a divorce, with her keeping the house. In 1925 and 1930 Della Graham was divorced and living in Iowa City IA with her widowed mother Josephine Alberkaskz (Alberhasky, Albrohackey, father James). In 1900 she was at home in Iowa City but was gone by 1910.
Benjamin married Ann Le Glatin (see note below) and lived in Ormond, California. Harriet Ann (Graham) Wise was born in September 28, 1928 to Ben and Ann. Ben ran a machine shop in Meiners Oaks CA prior to his retirement. He died of a heart attack while fishing in the Matilija Lake behind Matilija Dam in Ventura County CA October 14, 1952.

The same Henry was a Lawyer living in Des Moines IA in 1880 and Chisago IL in 1900. The marriage time period coincides with Ben’s birth in Clear Lake and Mary Boeye’s family were most likely neighbors of James and Hattie during their time in Clear Lake. The 1895 Iowa census indicates that Ben was born in Clayton County but that is most probably an error.

George (or Frank as he was called much of the time) was born May 2, 1879 on a farm in Buchanan County north of Walker Iowa (20 miles north of Cedar Rapids), the youngest of 11 total siblings and the only one born in Buchanan County. 4 of his siblings were living on the farm at the time of his birth; John, William, Charles, and Lydia. He moved to Louisiana in October 1897 with his parents, after they sold the farm to his Brother John. One of the pictures of him was taken in Hammond LA when he was about 19. The family moved back to Iowa within a year. According to an article in an Iowa City newspaper, the Iowa State Press on July 11, 1900, his Brother John leased a house from a Dr. Newberry (Frank Newberry) on South Clark Street for George’s use when he attended school at the University in the fall. Upon his return from Louisiana George started working for the Louis Schump Transfer Company of Iowa City (located at 1129 College and also at 220 East Washington St. in 1911) driving wagons (see picture) and he also attended the Iowa City Academy, a preparatory school of the State University and Iowa City Commercial College from which he graduated. George was an election clerk in the 4th ward in Iowa City in April of 1904. He was appointed as executor of his stepmother’s will (Lena B. Hermann) in May of the same year. July 5, 1905, before they were married, he and Effie were involved in a wreck on the Interurban train between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Effie sustained minor injuries. George was unhurt, while the motorman was killed. George was in the Iowa National Guard starting February 19, 1906 for 3 years. In March 1906, he and Effie were best man and bridesmaid for friends wedding in Iowa City.George (Frank) wrote Effie a love letter when she was visiting her sister Edith in Denver July 25, 1906 where he referenced the “Chautaqua grounds” a highly popular form of traveling entertainment at the time, which combined lectures, musicals, and theater for people of all ages under a canvas tent. George was living on Dodge St in Iowa City in 1907 when he married Effie. He worked for Louis Schump for 17 years before moving to a farm southwest of Hinckley Minnesota March 1, 1915. George and Effie traveled to California in 1940 shortly after Judy was born to see sons Jack and Phil and his family. He died April 22, 1941 (Cert No 011859) in Hinckley Minnesota from heart failure.

They eventually moved sometime before 1933 to a house which also no longer exists located south of the log house at the junction of County Road #17 and old Highway 23. Phil graduated from Brook Park High School (no longer in existence) in 1927. Phil and his brother Jack played for many years on the Mission Creek and Pine City baseball teams, Phil as an outfielder and Jack as shortstop. Phil also learned to play the violin as a child but never played later in life. Phil was employed by Great Northern Railroad for several years in the 1930’s making about $25 per week and was also a rural newspaper carrier on Sundays making about the same amount of money. He attended Lincoln Airplane & Flying School located in Lincoln Nebraska from January 1, 1938 and graduated on March 24, 1938, staying in Lincoln at 425 South 27th St. He paid $285 for this course and did 120 hours of part-time work for his room and board. (Note: Charles Lindbergh learned to fly in Lincoln. He took lessons in 1922 at Lincoln Airplane and Flying School where Lincoln Memorial Park is today. Class rooms may also have been at 24th & O St.)
Phil married Verna Ruth Sandell November 25, 1938 in Grantsburg Wisconsin. July 1, 1939 Phil and Verna moved to North Hollywood California where Brother Jack also was living. Phil worked as a rose gardener and later for Douglas Aircraft. While in California, Phil and Jack’s
Dad George died and they, Verna, and daughter Judy drove straight through from California to Minnesota to attend the funeral. Phil, Verna and Judy moved from California to Omaha Nebraska in about 1942. Then they moved to St. Cloud Minnesota, probably before May 1943 when son Jerry was born in Pine County, probably Rush City, and then in 1944 to Minneapolis where Phil worked for Northern Pump. In April 1945, they moved to Hinckley to a farm just north of the Sandell farm across the railroad tracks renting from Wagner Tenquist. This farm house had an unfinished upstairs and a closed in porch where bunks beds were eventually located for the boys to sleep in. Phil (Service No. 37796505) joined the Army May 1, 1945 (one day after Adolph Hitler committed suicide), serving until April 30, 1946 as a prisoner escort when he received his honorable discharge as a Corporal. During his service time he was stationed at various locations including basic training at Ft. Lewis WA, then at Ft. Oglethorpe GA, Turlock Rehabilitation Center CA, and Camp McQuaide CA. (In 1943, Camp McQuaide was converted to the West Coast Processing Center, the official stockade for all the stateside Army AWOLs and other troublemakers.) Phil also transported prisoners to the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth Kansas also known as the “Castle” (a movie “The Last Castle” was made in 2001 starring Robert Redford).
While in Hinckley Phil attended Dunwoody Institute studying to be an electrician and graduated June 1, 1949. Prior to moving to Moose Lake Phil and his brother George formed Hermann Electric (electrical contractors) which was in business until about 1952. Daughter Judy attended grade school in Hinckley.
The family moved to Moose Lake June 14, 1950 (House closed August 9, 1950). Shortly after Hermann Electric ended business, Phil went to Sonderstrom Greenland for 2 nine month sessions (1952 – 1954) working to pay for the new house. While in Sonderstrom, Phil worked on the base generating system, fed Artic foxes, found some small fish fossils, made custom popcorn poppers and lived in a Quonset hut. While working here, Phil suffered some of his later hearing loss from the noise of the large generators he worked on. (See further information on Greenland below). Phil was able to get their home paid off February 8, 1954. Upon returning from Greenland, Phil worked for several years for various electrical contractors in Minnesota, including Bergren Electric. Phil joined the Moose Lake Co-op Store (no longer in existence) as hardware manager in about 1959, working there until his retirement in 1971. He was a councilman on the Moose Lake City Council for several years in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Phil was also a volunteer ambulance driver for the Moose Lake Mercy Hospital for many years. Phil enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and agate collecting and cutting/polishing all kinds of rock. Subsequent to his retirement Phil became a Master Gardner and had a gardening radio show on Radio Station WKLK in Cloquet MN and a gardening column in the Moose Lake Star Gazette. He died September 30, 1988 of heart failure while at the Moose Lake Community Hospital and was buried in Brook Park Minnesota Cemetery. (SSN 704-01-3842)
Greenland
Sonderstrom Greenland, which was also known as Sondre Stromfjord and is now called Kangerlussuaq is a settlement in west Greenland that was also known as Bluie West Eight during its time as an American Air Base. Permanent settlement of the site at the east end of Kangerlussuaq fjord commenced in 1941 with the building of the air base. Following the fall of Denmark in World War II, responsibility for the security of Greenland passed to the American military. Military leaders responded by building several bases in Greenland, the largest of which were Bluie West One in Narsassuaq in southern Greenland and Bluie West Eight at the Kangerlussuaq fjord. These two sites remain Greenland's best equipped airports. Kangerlussuaq became an important stopover point for cargo bound from the United States to Europe. The base returned briefly to Danish control in 1950 but, following mounting concerns about the Cold War
threat, a renewed agreement saw the United States retake control of the base in 1951. It served as an early warning base and a supply station for similar early warning facilities. Following the fall of the Soviet Union the usefulness of the base was greatly diminished and the last American soldier left the base on September 30, 1992. The base subsequently came under Greenlandic Home Rule control and was renamed Kangerlussuaq. Almost all of the permanent structures in the town were built during the American occupation of the site.
George Hermann, Phil’s brother was at Thule Greenland for several years in the mid 1950’s to early 1960’s working on the Radar installations and was able to go to Camp Century, a “city under the ice” which had the first portable nuclear reactor for power. It was 138-150 miles from Thule, and was an entire city built beneath the snow for 85-200 residents with a main tunnel 1100 feet long, 26 feet wide and 28 feet high. The camp was opened in 1959 and was officially operated by the Army Polar Research and Development Center from Fort Belvoir and closed in 1967 due to unexpected rapid flow and movement of the glacial ice.

Ref: Jack Hermann Laid to Rest – Jack J. Hermann, a resident of 707 Cornell Ave., Albany, CA, was called to his eternal rest Sunday, May 2, 1965, after a sudden coronary attack at the home of his brother, George, in El Cerrito.
Jack was born to Frank and Effie Hermann of Iowa City, IA, Feb. 19, 1911. When a young boy of about five, his parents moved to a farm just south of where the District 81 schoolhouse was located (S.W. of Hinckley). He attended that school and graduated from the Brook Park high school in 1929.
Until 1939 he was employed by the Great Northern Railroad, leaving this area at that time to work at Douglas Aircraft Co. of Santa Monica, CA with his brother, Phillip. He was employed there until Mar. of 1942, when he joined the 93 Air Force Squadron, 7th Air Force Group of the U.S. Army. He was given an intensive six months training course as an advanced machinists at the University of OH and after being stationed in Waco, TX until July of 1943 he was sent to the Pacific area of combat. He served his country in all the major campaigns of New Guinea, on up to the Philippines, Okinawa and Japan. Jack received his discharge, with the rank of Tech. Sgt. at Camp McCoy, WI, on Nov. 25, 1945.
Jack was united in marriage to Alma Fosvik at the Bethlehem Lutheran Parsonage, St. Cloud, MN, on Nov. 8, 1942. Since his discharge from the service, they have made their home in California, Jack being employed as a tool and die maker at the Alameda Naval Air Base since 1948. They were blessed with two lovely children, Linda, 17, who will graduate from Albany high this semester and a son, James, 15.
Jack has been identified with the “Little League” for many years, managing with the same zest as he displayed when he played in the leagues in Pine County (MN). Jack was also responsible for voluntarily organizing basket ball teams in the Albany-El Cerrito area for which he was presented a special trophy for sportsmanship two years in succession for his fine work with the young boys of these communities.
Rev. Kenneth Senft from the Bethany Lutheran Church of Berkley conducted the services from the drawing room of the Ellis-Olson Funeral of Albany and he was laid to rest with Military honors in the Golden Gate National Cemetery on May 6th, 1965.
Those of the family who attended the service other than his wife and children were Philip Hermann of Moose Lake, MN, M/M. George Hermann and George Jr. of El Cerrito, his cousin, M/M Dwight Orr of Alameda and M/M Robert Graham of Oakland; two nieces, Mrs. Murray Johnson of Santee, CA, and Mrs. R. Arnett Jr. of Klamath Falls, OR. Also a brother-in-law, Adolph Fosvik of Pasadena and his sister-in-law, Olive Doran of Albany. A large representation from his former and present teams, his church, Alameda Air Station and a host of friends were witnesses to the high regard in which our loved one was held in his community. Many memorials were given to his memory for a perpetual trophy for the Little League. And now may our departed one rest in peace.
Thank You – We wish to take this means of expressing our most sincere thanks to the many kind neighbors and friends from our former home who sent messages of comfort and beautiful floral sprays.
The family feels we can share a cherished memory that will live on in the hearts of many, especially may his desire to do things well leave its mark on the youth of this community with whom he so dearly loved to work. Mrs. Jack Herman, Linda and James, M/M George Hermann and George Jr.; M/M Phillip Herman.

Farnsworth at his home southwest of Hinckley, on Saturday, September 24th, came as a severe shock to his many friends here, although he had been a patient sufferer for the past four years.
Frank Wilkinson Farnsworth was born at Dysart, Iowa, Nov. 1, 1883. When four years old, his parents moved to Sanborn, Iowa, where they took up a homestead. He attended the country school, the Sanborn High School where he graduated in 1903. He attended Highland Park school of music, studied medicine and dentistry at the State University of Iowa, graduating in 1908, and locating in his boyhood town he practiced for twenty years, retiring May 1, 1928, on account of his health.
March 10, 1909, he was united in marriage to Jane Graham at Iowa City, Iowa. To this union one son, Thomas Wilkinson Farnsworth, was born. In October, 1928, the family came to Hinckley, and made a beautiful little home southwest of town, where he passed away to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no man returns.
Early in life, he became a member of the Presbyterian Church at Sanborn, Iowa, where for many years he enjoyed teaching a class of boys in the Sunday School.
He was a member of the Blue Lodge No. 49, A. F. & A. M., Rose Croix Chapter, Abu-Bekr Shrine, Coral Chapter O. E. S. and Psi Omega fraternity.
He passed away Saturday morning, Sep. 24, at 10:00 a.m., at the age of 48 years, 11 months and 6 days. His father and sister from Iowa were with the family when he passed on.
Left to mourn his loss are his wife and son, his father and one sister, and a number of other relatives, as well as a great host of friends in Iowa and here. His mother died about three years ago and one sister preceded him to the Great Beyond two years ago.
A short funeral service was held at the home at two o’clock on Tuesday, September 27th, and he was laid to rest in the cemetery at Brook Park with the Hinckley Masonic Lodge conferring Masonic honors and Rev. T. J. E. Wilson, officiating. Casket bearers were Wm. Wicker, Walter Hoffman, A. E. Eddy, H. G. Swennes, Earl Bassett and Joe Freml. Singing at the services was rendered by Earl Bassett, L. W. Brown, Campbell Christianson and R. L. Morrish.

Newark from the Twin Cities; Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Markham and Mr. and Mrs. Royal Markham from Rush City, Marion Lonus and Mr. and Mrs. Larson of Pine City.
In his four years of residence here, Dr. Farnsworth made many friends. He was an uncomplaining sufferer and a friendly, kindly man whom we all will mourn, and the sincerest sympathy is extended to his greatly bereaved family.
Card of Thanks - We wish in this way to thank the many friends who have been so kind to us in our sorrow and for the tributes to our loved one. Signed Mrs. F. W. Farnsworth, Thomas Farnsworth, Mr. T. W. Farnsworth and Mrs. H. A. Neizke.

Ref: "The Long Family" - Edwin Long moved to Alabama in 1887 where he engaged in the machinery and foundry business and later in the bicycle business. In 1896, he moved back to Cedar Rapids, Iowa and end in the repair and sales of bicycles, later going into the automobile business in it's very earliest days. Edwin invented many parts and features of the automobile and made improvements. He built the first more than one cylinder auto in Iowa. It had two cylinders and he refused to trade it for 80 acres of good Iowa farmland. He made the first non-inflammable spark plug (formerly they used paper-mache which burned up when too hot) by compressing mica leaves. Carburetors were unknown, gasoline entering the cylinder raw but Edwin made the first known vapor carburetor out of tin cans stuffed with waste upon which the gasoline dripped and by through being sucked into the motor the vapor was obtained, however this had it's drawbacks as a back fire caused the cotton to ignite, necessitating quick action to prevent the car from burning. Edwin has a letter from Henry Ford, received in those early days, suggesting that they combine their inventive efforts and that Edwin join with him in Detroit. This he did not do. Edwin moved to Los Angeles in 1922 and remarried in 1925 or 26 and lived in Inglewood, CA.

Ref: The University of Iowa Alumni Department, Iowa City, IA (319-335-3298) confirmed that John Henry Carse graduated in June 1870 with a degree in B. D. (Bachelor of Didactics) with an education major. The first class graduated in 1859. He later lived in Fairfield, IA and still later was listed as a Merchant in Council Bluffs, IA.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) John Henry Carse was in the first or one of the first graduating classes at the University of IA, Iowa City, IA. He was a schoolteacher. He taught in a school where Negroes were admitted. The natives were very wild and shot through his window; the bullet striking the bedstead. (These were from notes sent by Ms. Gail Thompson).
Ref: (Catherine Carse Champion) John Henry Carse and Elizabeth (Daniels) Carse were the parents of Joseph Wentworth, Eloise, Lela, Dolly, Jennie, John and Earle.
My Grandfather, John Carse was in the first graduating class at the University of Iowa, where he met Elizabeth Daniels, also a student there. He later became a teacher in Iowa. I know very little of my Father's family as we had no contact with them after he died when I was a child of eight years.
The earliest record I know of the Carse family is 1415, at which time they left Scotland, in, or near Dundee in Perthshire, with the Reverend Livingston and emigrated to Ireland, settling about 15 miles out of Belfast. This move was because of religious persecution. They were staunch Presbyterians always.
The "Carse Lands" or farming lands is in the Lowlands, i.e., southeastern part, not far from Glasgow. I checked the telephone book in Glasgow and found 14 Carse families listed there. The ancient spelling of this name may have been Kerse.
Family names are Johnstone, Russell, Stuart, Parke, Love, Daniels and General "Mad" Anthony Wayne of revolutionary war fame. Martha Washington's first cousin was into the Parke Curtis family; any relationship is unknown to me.
My great-grandmother, Annis (Love) Daniels was married to Joseph Daniels. I remember her as a very handsome woman, as she lived to be 90 years old, and died here in California. The rest of the Carse family lived in and about Omaha, NE.

Ref: (Gail Thompson) Ltr. to Harriett (Charlton) Carse from her Uncle Earle R. Carse, Omaha, NE dtd. 14 Sep. 1946 -- "I was surprised and a very happy surprise it was, to hear from you.
Your letter imparted information about which I knew nothing. I had heard of Miriam's passing but not of your Mother's. I know you must miss her. Those things are difficult yet bound to happen.
You have assigned me quite a task to relate facts concerning your Fathers family but I will do my best to give you some.
Your Dad was born in Iowa City, Iowa, it being not far from where my Father taught school. My Father graduated from the University of Iowa in 1871 and married my Mother with whom he had become acquainted while attending the University where they were both students. There were 7 children; Dolly, who died in infancy, your Dad, Eloise, Lela, who also died in infancy, Jen, John and myself.
Four of us remain, Eloise who still lives in Council Bluffs with her husband A. J. Faul. Their only daughter married but has no children and lives in Chicago. That is Dorothy whom you will remember.
Jennie is a widow and lives in San Bernardino, CA with her single son. She has a daughter "Love" who lives in the Los Angeles with her husband and daughter, a student at U.C.L.A.
John and his wife live here. His daughter is married and lives at Lubbock, TX. Their son is here, attends Creighton University and is contemplating matrimony in December.
We now come to the baby, that's your Uncle Earle. I have been married twice. My first wife died not many years after we married. My 2nd wife and I have been married for quite some time. We have a lovely daughter who is married to Dr. Holyoke. He is a M. D. and a Ph.D. and teaches in preference to practicing medicine. He is a professor of Gross Anatomy at the University of Nebraska Medical College.
We have two grandsons, one is almost 4, and the other is 1. We live just six blocks from our daughter. So much for my brothers and sisters.
The earliest I have any record of the Carse family is 1415 at which time they were driven from Scotland to escape religious persecution and settled near Belfast, Ireland. They took Rev. Livingston with them. They were staunch Presbyterians.
My Grandfather came from 14 miles from Belfast. His Father's name was Carse and his Mother's maiden name was Carse. I can not give you the date that my Grandfather came to this country or to Iowa where he settled. He married into a family named Park who were the leading people of their community. Should you ever wish to join the D. A. R. through the Park side as an ancestor of my Grandmother (Park) Carse fought under Mad Anthony Wayne in the Revolutionary War.
Grandpa and Grandma had several children, all of whom are now deceased except 2, one of whom is 85, a very brilliant woman.
It is too bad that you couldn't have had a talk with some of your Dad's Aunts, as it would have made you believe you came from the finest stock that God ever created. All the Carses I have ever met have been fine, honest industrious and for the most part well to do people. They are close and somewhat clannish. The name is unusual in most places.
I, representing the government in Rent Control have had to go to Oakland, IA. I find that there are 14 families there and near there. I do not claim relationships but had one tell me his folks were born 13 miles from Belfast.
Of course, my Father and Mother are both gone. Dad would be 100 next January, Mother would be about 96.
I think of you kids (you were kids when I last saw you) often and hope some day to be able to see you. I have never seen Annis.
I haven't reported much on my Mothers family. The are all gone except Aunt Love whom is still in Los Angeles. My Grandfather on Mother's side died before any of us were born.
I have a genealogy of the Carse family in my possession. And to brag a little, remember that no better name exists than Carse.
With Love, Earle R. Carse, 5003 Nicholas Street, Omaha, 3, NE
P. S. Your letter addressed to 114 North 30th went to John's house as he bought the folks old home. Carses have lived at that location 35 years.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) The Opera house was comfortably filled last night with people to witness the drama of Shaun Rhu, presented by the Northwestern Dramatic association. The thrilling events of the play were all brought out with the force and smoothness of professional actors, and each part was carried out so that the interest in the play was kept through the four acts. Miss Hattie Charlton as Kate Donavan rose to the occasion and her efforts in the scenes of the third and fourth acts were carried out with a force that stamped her as an actress of no mean order. Her efforts more than pleased the critical audience assembled at the Opera house and, had she no other ambition than that of following the stage in the future, would have no attainment too difficult for her to conquer. Jud Grant as Larry Donavan and Shaun Rhu was a character that was his own. His emotional acting from grave to gay, his easy good nature, with the passionate yearnings in the second scene when he pleads for a good-bye from his father and his cordial hate of Lawyer Waddy and Bryan Callajan gave the largest scope for an actor that was possible, and in all of them he was natural. The personnel of the drama were well supported by each one of the company and the play of Shaun Rhu will be long remembered by theatergoers in Deadwood.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) The many friends of Miss Hattie Charlton were doubly delighted Wednesday evening. First in the fact that she had escaped the threatened illness, and second by the charming manner and superior talent with which she sustained the difficult role assigned to her in the performance at the opera house. Miss Charlton is endowed with marked dramatic power and those who are qualified to judge of such merit are generous in their praise of her ability.
The charming Miss Gertrude Wright departed for her home at Chadron yesterday. After a few days' visit in the city Miss Wright has won the hearts of our people during her recent visits and in the delightful and highly successful manner in which she impersonated dear little "Grace," in "My Partner" Wednesday evening. She but added by her own grace and beauty, new laurels to the wreath of admiration with which we had before crowned her.
Miss Hallie Bennett as "Posey," carried the house by storm" Wednesday evening, and one cannot wonder that the "major's" lips grew "dry and parched" in le--- to have them moistened with so sweet a salve as Miss Posey's, so temptingly presented.
Frank Ickes, the irrepressible "Major," was a "show in himself."
Will McLaughlin "outheathened the heathen" as "Wing Lee," and almost gave every one the "clamps" in his mirth-provoking representation of the much abused (?) importation from the flowery kingdom.
Frank Ankeny as "My Partner" was certainly calculated to win the heart of the most obdurate maiden and displayed marked dramatic ability in rendering this difficult part."
Ed Charlton as the jealous lover, was right up to the mark in carefully guarding the charms of "Sweet Grace Brandon" from supposed rivals.
John Lovejoy as "Scraggs, was an ideal villain, and the reporter heard several of the audience express surprise that Mrs. Lovejoy would dare have him round the house," so well did he sustain his role.
Mr. Wells as "Brandon," was a typical, affectionate and indulgent father, and one could not wonder that "Grace" so faithfully clung to him in his grief.
Jud Grant as "Joe" was simply immense; and the admiring audience could easily see that it was quite a natural piece of acting with him, or at least his acting was so natural that it did not seem like acting, but just his own simple big hearted, good natured self, until when his noble nature was fired with indignation at some cowardly act, he grew terrible in his condemnation."
The music was most excellent, the audience was appreciative and for such a stormy evening, surprisingly large. In finito, the entertainment was a signal success, and netted the Young Men's association, for which it was given, quite a handsome sum, for which they express thanks in this issue.
It is hoped that this company will at an early date, "put on another play," and that there organization may be maintained. Lack of space prevented a fuller write-up in our last issue.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) New Clerk At Assay Office -- J. W. Carse Succeeds Charles Coe At the United States Assay Office In This City and Has Assumed Duties.
On Saturday of last week a business change occurred at the United States assay office in Deadwood, when Charles Coe stepped down and out and his place was taken by J. W. Carse. Mr. Coe has occupied the position of clerk of the assay office for some time past, having succeeded Albert Martinez.
He has not as yet determined as to what his new vocation will be. Mr. Carse, his successor, has for some months past been manager of the local Abstract & Title Company of this city. His appointment is an acknowledgment of his true worth and esteem that he is held in this city.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) Home From Agency -- Wentworth Carse returned on today's Northwestern from Pine Ridge Agency, where he was called several days ago on government business. He will return to the agency in a few days and remain until the Indians are all paid. Mr. Carse says Agent John R. Brennen received a telegram from officials at Washington requesting him not to pay the Indians until he received further notice.
Colonel George is receiving the attentions of all the Indians. They term the Colonel "Igamu Tonka," which signifies Big Lion in their native tongue. The amount to be paid is $81,740, and will be turned over to the Indians in drafts. There are 260 Indians to receive pay for their services and they are very jubilant. The payment was brought about by Colonel George, who will receive a handsome commission.
The reason of the payment was a treaty made between the whites and Indian Chiefs, but bands of robbers and highwaymen broke the solemn vow and the government had to settle up. Mr. Carse visited Red Cloud, the famous old chief, at his little home that the government built for him and found the old man blind but contented. Mr. Brennen is well and acted as guide on several expeditions to interesting places and scenes of early day conflicts.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) A New Business Firm -- J. W. Carse and Harry Thorne will Enter New Business Fields -- Among the business changes in this section about to take place two prominent young men of Deadwood will figure prominently in the persona of J. W. Carse present manager of the Deadwood Abstract Company and Harry Thorne, cashier at the Armour station in this city.
On the first of May these gentlemen will enter the Black Hills business world in a new company which will be known as a Wholesale Mercantile Company. They have rented the large brick building in Lead --- behind the Campbell house and will open for business in that city on the first of the coming month, when they will represent some of the largest independent wholesale companies in the west; among them will be the Western Packing Company of Denver. This company was organized in Denver some time ago by the independent stockmen of Colorado and since its organization has been branching out in all directions. Mr. Carse made a business trip to Denver last week where he completed arrangements with the firm and as soon as other minor details are made the new company will be ready for business.
The Northwestern will build a spur from the company's depot in Lead -- across Mill street and running up to Bleeker Street for the purpose of accommodating the company's business.
Mr. Carse will retire from the abstract business during the coming month and will be succeeded by ??? Dawson, who is at present getting ??? to the business in the office.
Mr. Thorne has also resigned his position with the Armour Packing company, as cashier, to take effect the last of the present month.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) Change In Abstract Firm -- J. W. Carse Buys the Interest of C. K. Seitz in Company -- J. W. Carse has purchased the half interest of Major C. K. Seitz in the Abstract and Title company of Deadwood. Major Seitz will continue to attend to the business for the present until the American National Bank of Deadwood has arranged to fill the position of Mr. Carse occupies there.
Major Seitz will leave Deadwood after he surrenders the business, and will move to Chico, CA, where he owns a fruit farm. Mrs. Seitz left for that point several days ago, going in advance of her husband.
The Abstract and Title company owns the only set of abstract books in Lawrence county, and they are valuable property, representing many years of labor and the expenditure of a large amount of money in compiling them. The company was incorporated in 1900, and is a merger of the old Western Dakota company and the Kimball books, as well as books that Major Seitz had spent several years upon. The Western Dakota company was started by Edwin Van Cise, John R. Wilson, of the then law firm of Van Cise & Wilson, and S. M. Houghton.
Some of the most prominent men of the Black Hills have engaged in the abstract business in Deadwood in the past, among them being J. S. Denman, John R. Jones and A. H. Marble, in addition to those mentioned before.
The remaining half interest in the Abstract and Title Company is owned by William H. Beck, an attorney of Washington, D. C. and a gentleman of considerable wealth, who was in Deadwood last week arranging for the transfer from Major Seitz to Mr. Carse.
Mr. Carse came to Deadwood in the employ of the Elkhorn railroad, with which he remained until early in 1896 when he went into the American National Bank.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) 5 Feb. 1906 -- Last evening Mesdames Carse, Wheeler and Sears of Deadwood entertained their friends at the Franklin hotel and there assembled in the parlors of that hostelry a great many from Lead and Deadwood and surrounding towns. It was one of the local affairs par excellence of the season, and was given by the ladies as their last party before the Lenten season closed in on the social world. The parlors of the hotel were beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers and the lights softened with globes of the pervading colors. Cards were played by all those who wished to indulge and during the early part of the evening a social time was enjoyed many of the guests enjoying conversations and meeting after long partings. Dancing was indulged in the spacious dining room of the hotel being converted into a ballroom. After dancing a supper was spread in the private dining rooms, and it was one of the most enjoyable features of the evening for during its discussion the conversation never flagged. It was one of the prettiest affairs that has ever taken place in the Hills and those from Lead enjoyed it most thoroughly and declared that as entertainers the Mesdames Carse, Wheeler and Sears are not only charming but that they have no superiors.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) 5 Feb. 1906, Deadwood, SD -- Quite the gay and prettiest social event of the season was the entertainment given last evening at the Franklin by Mr. and Mrs. J. Wentworth Carse, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred D. Sears and Mr. and Mrs. Milton M. Wheeler. From beginning to end it was a round of pleasure with never a hitch to mar the evening. Manager Hamilton had been careful to a detail and the appointments were all that could be desired. The guests spent the evening playing cards or dancing, as was their fancy, many indulging in both. The handsome hotel was beautifully lighted and presented a gay appearance. Some of the women wore elaborate gowns and added to the beauty of the scene.
Upstairs the parlors had been arranged for cards where sixty-three was played. Mrs. Hirsch won the lady's. Mr. M. J. Morgan the gentleman's and Mrs. Carwile the consolidation prize. In the dining room the dancers held full sway. An elaborate supper was served in the private dining room on prettily decorated tables.
The guests included many from out of town and scarcely anyone in Deadwood or Lead was overlooked. Terry, Whitewood, Spearfish and Belle Fourche together with Sioux Falls represented.
Not until midnight had the last strains of a waltz died away in the ballroom and the tired by happy dancers sought their rest after one of the most successful dances Deadwood has seen in many a day.

Ref: (Gail Thompson) Council Bluffs, IA newspaper -- Word has been received here of the marriage of Mr. J. Wentworth Carse, formerly of this city, but now of Deadwood, SD, to Harriett St. Clair Charlton of that place, Thursday, January 20. The ceremony which was witnessed by many of the society people of that city occurred at St. John's Episcopal Church, Archdeacon George G. Ware officiating. Mr. Carse went to Deadwood three years ago and is now occupying an important position with the American National bank. His bride is said to be a most charming young lady.

This was one of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized in this city. By 8 o'clock, the church was filled to its utmost capacity by friends of these popular young people. Upon the arrival of the bridal party the large chorus choir entered from the rear and marched down the center aisle singing a very sweet processional hymn. A moment later the doors opened and the bride appeared leaning upon the arm of Dr. Wedelstaedt, followed by Miss Marie Wright, of Chadron, bridesmaid. They approached the altar while Mrs. A. D. Wilson, who presided at the organ, played a march from Lohengren in her inimitable manner. Another sweet hymn was rendered by the choir and the contracting parties took their positions at the altar, the bride supported by Miss Wright, and the groom supported by Mr. Carl Dawson. The ceremony was in accordance with the ritual of the Episcopal Church and was beautifully solemn and impressive.
The bride never looked more beautiful; she wore a white costume modest and simple and carried a large bunch of yellow roses. The groom appeared in conventional black. After the ceremony the party withdrew while Mendelsohn's wedding march was being played. The choir next withdrew singing a recessional hymn.
Mr. and Mrs. Carse, accompanied by their supporters and a few intimate friends were driven to the home of the bride's mother on city Creek, where a reception was had. A very large number of friends were present and the evening was passed pleasantly. The happy couple was the recipients of great many elegant presents and gracefully acknowledged the cordial, hearty congratulations of their friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Carse need no introduction to our readers. The sweet, pretty bride ahs resided among us since a little child and has ever been prominent in social circles. She is bright and winsome, and possesses those lovable qualities and graces of heart and mind that have endeared her to a large circle of friends. The groom has been a resident of Deadwood three years and at present holds a responsible position in the American National Bank. He is a man of sterling character and exemplary habits and has merited the confidence of the community.
Mr. and Mrs. Carse will reside for the present at the home of her mother on City Creek. They start out upon life's journey under very favorable circumstances. Their host of friends will unite with the Pioneer-Times in extending to them our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a long life of happiness and prosperity.

Ford, John Wilson, V. A. Hampton and M. M. Wheeler, were the ushers that attended to seating the guests. The three front pews, to the right of the altar, were reserved for the relatives and chosen friends of the bride, and were held by the customary ribbon. The altar area was strewn with smilax and back of it was a bank of palms and festoons of evergreens.
At precisely 8:25 the groom, attended by Carl Dawson as best man, marched down the aisle and took his station on the right and a few feet in front of the altar. The choir of the church, consisting of thirty voices, in full vestments, entered next singing a processional hymn. When the choir was in its place Mrs. A. D. Wilson at the organ, struck up Lohengren's wedding march, and the bride, leaning on the arm of Dr. Wedelstaedt, and preceded by Miss Marie Wright, of Chadron, maid of honor, proceeded down the aisle and took her place on the left of the groom, facing the altar, supported by her maid of honor. She was attired in white Swiss, trimmed with lace and cream colored ribbons and sash, and carried a bouquet of yellow roses. In her hand ??? and smilax. Her dress was simple, but becoming and she never appeared more charming. Miss Wright wore white organdy over pink, and a very rich large hat with white plumes. The groom and best man wore black, full evening dress. After the preliminary words by the officiating clergyman the bridal couple advanced to the altar, followed by the best man and maid of honor, and there the words were pronounced that proclaimed them husband and wife, the bride and groom kneeling. This was followed by the Lord's Prayer and a blessing, after which the bridal party marched up the aisle and out of the church to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march.
Carriages were in waiting, and the bridal couple and relatives were driven to the home of the bride's mother, on City Creek, where they were joined presently by a number of intimate friends who tendered them a reception and numerous tokens of esteem.
It was one of the prettiest and most fashionable weddings that ever occurred in Deadwood, and the interest shown was a glad testimony to the high regard in which the young people are held in the city. They will make their home for the present with the mother of the bride.
Miss Hattie Charlton has lived in Deadwood ever since her childhood, and by her nobility of character, lovable traits and her sense of right and propriety, has gained the admiration, love and respect of all her acquaintances. Her unconcealed devotion for her mother and the other members of her family, which has seemed to actuate her in all things, has elicited the approbation of everyone.
Mr. Carse has lived in Deadwood three or four years, and has always displayed the qualities of true manhood. He at present occupies a position of trust and handsome compensation as assistant bookkeeper at the American National bank.
May their lives be strewn with ???.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) Success For Iowa City Man - James Wentworth Carse, Prominent in business in Wyoming -- is Grandson of the late J. B. Daniels.
There are many Iowa City people who remember J. B. Daniels, whose home was at the east end of College Street. He kept a harness store on Clinton Street for many years, and was prominent in Methodist Church circles. His wife is living with a daughter, Mrs. Fillius, at Oakland, CA, in good health at the age of 86. Another daughter is Mrs. J. H. Carse of Council Bluffs, whose husband graduated from the university in 1870. Their son, Joseph Wentworth Carse, is now a prominent citizen and businessman at Evanston, WY, whose success is a gratification to the many friends of his parents and grandparents in the city.
Mr. Carse is a native of Iowa City, having been born at the old Daniels homestead. He is now cashier of the Evanston National Bank, member of the board of Carnegie library, another member being Senator Clark of Wyoming, and president of the Commercial Club.
In the state he is treasurer of the Beckwith Ranch Co., one of the largest ranches in the state. Also secretary of the Wyoming Utah Irrigation Improvement Co., and an executive member of the state bankers association. Before going to Wyoming he spent 12 years in the Black Hills in an assay office and banking house, at Deadwood.

Ref: (Gail Thompson) J. Wentworth Carse -- Yesterday a telegram received in the city addressed to N. E. Franklin, told of the death at Oakland, CA, yesterday of J. Wentworth Carse, at one time one of the best known and one of the most popular young men of Deadwood. The telegram was brief, and gave none of the particulars of Mr. Carse's death.
Deceased came to the city about twenty years ago as the clerk for General Agent Frank Harmon of the Northwestern road. He occupied that position for a short time and then accepted a position with the American National bank, which he filled in a most acceptable manner for several years. After the American National became merged with the First National he bought out the abstract business of the county, and for a year or so conducted that. He then entered the employ of Clay & Company and was sent by that firm to take charge as cashier, of one of its branch banks at Evanston, WY where he remained for several years, making it one of the successful institutions of that state. An aunt, living in Oakland, CA, while he was engaged as cashier of the Evanston bank, requested his services to manage for her a large estate, so he went to that city, and until the time of his death was in charge of his aunt's affairs, who is said to be one of the wealthy women of the California city. While a resident of Deadwood he was married to Miss Hattie Charlton, a brother of Thomas Charlton of this city. It was one of the prettiest little romances that has ever made two young people happy, and their married life in Deadwood was ideal. While residents of the city two little daughters were born to them, and both are now almost young ladies, the oldest being about 18. Two other daughters came to bless their union after they had removed from Deadwood and with their mother, and his parents, who live in Council Bluffs, IA where the deceased was born about 43 years ago, survive him.
Went Carse was a likeable, loveable young fellow while living in Deadwood, one who made friends instinctively, and one to whom once a friendship had been extended it endured.
Ref: (Gail Thompson) Harriet St. Clair (Charlton) Carse -- Born 1877, Denver, CO, died 1943 -- At the age of three months, she was taken to Deadwood, SD in a covered wagon. She was the first white baby to go to this place.
Harriet loved the beauty of the Black Hills and mentioned it to us often. She lived here until after her marriage. Two of her children were born here. Miriam Daniels Carse and Harriett Charlton Carse. The other two daughters were born in Evanston, WY, Mary Catherine Carse and Annis Wilburta Carse.
Harriet was musical and played the organ for the Episcopal Church, also had acting ability, playing the leading roles in most of the theatrical events of this area. She was educated at the All Saints School in Sioux Falls, SD.
She married Joseph Wentworth Carse in 1898. They lived in the Smith Apartments, which I saw in 1968 on my visit there. The story is that she was returning from school and getting off the train when my father saw her. He told the man with whom he was standing that that was the girl he was going to marry. Apparently it was love at first sight for them both.
Her childhood in this wide-open frontier town was a happy one, although filled with strange experiences. When she was about five, there was an Indian uprising and all the women and children had to live in a stockade for over a week. She told of often seeing Calamity Jane drive into town with her oxen team carrying freight and swearing worse than any man. She saw her also shoot out all the windows of a popcorn wagon in order to treat the town children. Another time as she was walking on the main street of the town, a man ran from a saloon and was shot dead at her feet. This place has changed hardly at all since 1900, having bars in about every third building. Of course, the neon lights, which are many, are hardly typical, but the old buildings stand just as they were at that time.
Harriet and Wentworth were very happy the years of their marriage in Deadwood. They moved in 1907 to Wyoming. This was a barren place after the beauty of the Black Hills and Harriet never liked its sagebrush and sand, so was more than glad to come to CA. She was widowed in 1916 and left with four girls to care for, and almost no money left after having lived so well and graciously for the early years of her marriage.
With the help of her two older children and an indomitable spirit, she somehow managed to work and rear the two younger ones. My mother was respected and loved by everyone, particularly her children. She was pretty, having light red curly hair and blue eyes. She was full of fun always and had a love of life that was remarkable, after the hard life she led. Our home was always full of young people and Mother was a part of everything we did, as all the young people came to her for advice and considered her as one of their best friends.

Ref: A said accident occurred at the Mercer residence on Summit Street last Friday afternoon. Some neighborhood children of tender years were playing in a buggy to which a horse was attached when the horse became frightened and ran away throwing the children out and little Gage Doherty, the 13 year old son of Mrs. Jennie Doherty, was almost instantly killed, his head striking against a tree. The little son of Mr. S. W. Mercer had a leg broken and other children in the rig were more or less injured. It was a sad blow to the parents when little Gage was carried to the family residence in a dying condition. The funeral occurred Sunday from the home of Mrs. Doherty and her mother, Mrs. J. B. Daniels, and attracted one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever seen in the city. Rev. Dr. McCord officiated, speaking words of sympathy and drawing useful lessons from the sad event. Gage Doherty was born in Denver, May 13th 1883, and was the older of two sons. He was a very bright, lovable, cheerful boy, and popular with both young and old. In his studies he was an apt student; but attention was mostly drawn to him by reason of the unselfish tender care he gave to his little brother Joe, who for sometime has been an invalid. Gage was his constant companion; pushing his rolling chair and showing many other attentions that could only originate in the mind of a good affectionate brother. The entire community sympathizes with the afflicted family and regrets the accident.

Love, of this city,) was married on Sep. 25 at Iowa City. Their host of friends in Georgetown have expected the event and are prepared to extend their profuse wishes for pleasure and happiness.
The following account of the brilliant affair is taken from the Iowa City Republican dtd. 25 Sep. 1885, pg. 3: An event of great interest to one of the old families of Iowa City, and a wide circle of relatives and friends, was the marriage, last evening of Mr. John Fillius, of Georgetown, Colorado, and Miss Love Daniels, of Iowa City. The residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. J. B. Daniels, on Summit Street, was beautifully decorated, and at from 5 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, was filled by a large number of persons both near and dear to the fair young girl who was to leave them for another sphere in life. The relatives of Miss Daniels were, alone, enough to fill the old homestead, but a few acquaintances found a most hospitable welcome. There was an air of sadness as well as happiness around the sacred event. Miss Love born and raised in Iowa City, had become entwined in the hearts of all who knew her, for the many virtues of mind and body that she possessed. Her sunshiny smiles lit up all around her, no matter where she moved, and the ripple of her laughter will long be listened for in vain in the circle that she graced. Mr. Fillius appeared as natural and as manly as ever he did amidst his far west friends, whose attachment for him has become known even here on the prairie. The only thought not entirely in his favor, among those present last evening, was that he takes from our midst one who is beloved by all who know her.
The ceremony was very impressively performed by Rev. Dr. P. P. Ingalls, assisted by Rev. Mr. Parsons, both of this city. The happy couple standing in an alcove of evergreens and flowers, cast their log together, a beautiful floral anchor overhead typifying how their fortunes have been united.
There followed a happy poem by Father Magill, hearty congratulations, a splendid repast for the guests, inspection of a large list of beautiful and costly presents, among them a handsome silver service from Mr. Fillius's mining friends in Colorado, and a rare collection of diamonds from the groom.
Mr. and Mrs. Fillius took the train for the east last night, where they will spend their honeymoon.

"Dear Paul, I enjoyed talking to you the other night and I'm glad you are interested in information about Love Daniels Fillius. She was a true glamour figure with her wealth, her jewels, and her unusual life style. She used to tell us the story of her husband's mining interests and that once after a risky stock deal they waited to learn if they were millionaires or paupers. Fortunately, they were and stayed millionaires.
I'm sorry I can't help you about where the girls or Sonny were buried. Ruth was never married. Marion was married to Ben Edwards of Chicago, so perhaps she and Sonny are buried there. As you know, Love lived in so many places, it would be hard to guess where Ruth is buried.
I certainly knew Ingalls Bradley. He was my first cousin. My mother, Helen Swisher, and his mother, Alice were sisters. Brad died four years ago, leaving a wife, Helen and two children, Graham of Rochester and Christine of Georgetown, Colorado. He was a wonderful man and had an outstanding career at Kodak.
I hope this helps you a little. Sincerely, Marion Jackson."

John Fillius, a prominent citizen of Georgetown, was born at Hudson, Ohio, Dec. 8, 1840. He was raised on a farm, and received his education at Western Reserve College, Hudson. During the late war, he was one of the many patriotic and daring Ohioans who went out to meet the rebel General John Morgan, in his famous raid through Kentucky and Ohio; but as Morgan failed to come his way, the young man lost this coveted opportunity to display his heroism, and returned home without even a sight of the chieftain. Mr. Fillius came to Colorado in 1866, arriving at Denver August 4th.
From Denver he went to Central City, where he opened and kept a bakery and family grocery until February, 1867, when he sold out and removed to Georgetown. At Georgetown he erected a building, now the court house, calling it "The Ohio Bakery", and began a business similar to that he had engaged in at Central City, which he continued with success until the spring of 1871. Mr. Fillius was a County Commissioner of Clear Creek County for a time in 1871 and 1872. In the fall of 1872, he was elected County Treasurer, which office he held two years. During the time, he engaged in mining and real estate business. In October, 1873, he purchased an interest in the American House, and kept hotel with George L. Sites, as partner, about three years. In all his previous undertakings, Mr. Fillius, had been exceedingly successful, but the hotel enterprise was proving so disastrous to him that he determined to dispose of his interest and engage in mining. Since 1876, he has given his entire attention to mining, not only for himself, but as agent for other's. He is now agent for the Northeastern Mining Company, having his office at Georgetown. He also has charge of the property of the Hercules and Roe Consolidated Silver Mining Company, and is the authorized agent for the Nyanza Mining Company. Mr. Fillius has never been a man to seek distinction or publicity, but he has always adhered firmly to his principles of Democracy, and has been an active and prominent member of his party.
Ref: Georgetown Courier - 23 Sep. 1911 - Report was received yesterday that John Fillius had died at his home in California.
Ref: Iowa State Press Citizen, Iowa City, IA, Wednesday, September 20, 1911 -- John Fillius is called beyond. John L. Fillius died suddenly at his home in Oakland, CA, yesterday, says a telegram to Mrs. A. E. Swisher.
His widow will be recalled as Miss Love Daniels, daughter of a pioneer household of Iowa City. Her father was one of the foremost wholesale merchants of the day in the University City, and afterwards became a very wealthy westerner. Surviving also are two daughters, Marion and Ruth.
Mr. Fillius was about 70 years of age and was a retired businessman. He had not been given warning of his approaching end, which is a great shock to all who knew him. His wife, it is regretted to relate is also seriously ill.
Iowa City friends of the stricken family will tender sympathy at the unexpected death of a worthy husband and father.

The driver, 21-year old Benjamin K. Edwards, was seriously injured and was immediately taken to Michael’s hospital. Note the extensive damage to the car pictured above.
An Illinois tourist smashed into a Canadian Pacific diesel electric train Monday afternoon on the flat crossing one mil east of the airport junction on the Coutts highway. Driver of the car Benjamin K. Edwards, 21, of Evanston, IL, was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital. He was the only person in the car.
Observers of the crash said that Edwards car, traveling behind two other cars, was rounding the turn coming towards the city as the train approached the crossing. The first two made it across and Edwards smashed into the side of the engine.
Terrific impact was evident as the front of the 1947 Studebaker convertible cope was almost completely collapsed and shoved back against the seat. Edwards was found with his legs pinned behind the steering column and was reported to be suffering from “profound shock”.
Hospital authorities reported Tuesday morning that the condition of the injured man was “serious.” No details of his injuries were given out.
Negligible damage was received by the train and it continued its test run to Glenwood that afternoon.
Canadian Pacific Railway officials stated that curiously enough, a similar accident happened to the other Diesel electric train now operating from Coutts to Lethbridge when it was making its first test run.

Edwards, 21, of Evanston, IL died in the hospital here late Tuesday afternoon of injuries suffered when the automobile he was driving collided with a Canadian Pacific Railway diesel electric locomotive.
Mr. Edwards, a tourist, was pinned behind the steering column of his car in the accident Monday. His car had rounded a turn behind two other cars as the diesel train on a test run approached. The first two vehicles made the crossing but Edwards’ coupe smashed into the train.
The young man’s guardian, Donovan Y. Erickson, flew from Chicago to Lethbridge Tuesday and will take the body back to Evanston with him in a chartered plane.
A jury impaneled under Coroner D. D. Fryett to inquire into the death of Mr. Edwards met Tuesday night then adjourned until Tuesday, July 27. The body was released for burial.
Speaking to the Herald, the young man’s guardian said that Mr. Edwards was a sophomore at Northwestern University at Evanston, near Chicago, and that the young man had been given permission to holiday in Canada as he was about to be drafted into the U. S. Army.

Love 10 Jul. 1877 in Georgetown, CO with her father officiating. “Pioneer Jo,” as he was endearingly known, was born 11 Jul. 1829 in Coshocton Co., OH. He died in Georgetown 3 Jan. 1908 and was buried there in the old Alvarado Cem. Virginia died 25 Sep. 1921 in Denver and is buried there at Fairmount Cem. in the Weiser plot.
Jo Love came to CO early in 1860 and made a trip up Clear Creek where he camped on the site, which became Georgetown. In 1861 he went to Empire which was the scene of much mining activity and for several years prospected the mountains with James D. Peregrine another 1860 pioneer from Central City. In the spring of 1863 Jo built a cabin at Empire and established a hack line to Central City which he operated until 1867, at which time he purchased part interest in the general store of William Spruance at Fall River. “Spruance & Love” moved to Georgetown on Alpine St. {6th} in 1868 and Jo managed the store while Mr. Spruance served as County Clerk. After Jo and Virginia married he operated a secondhand store in Georgetown, for 30 years, and she followed her professional career as piano teacher. Soon after Jo’s death Virginia moved to Denver where she was an active worker in the WCTU, Pioneer Ladies’ Aid Club, and West Side Woman’s Club.

Ref: The Colorado Miner, 11 Mar. 1882 - Joseph A. Love has been appointed special policeman to watch the blasting done by the railroad graders and to prevent damage to town property as far as possible. We understand him to be in the employ of the town.
Ref: Empire and the Berthoud Pass -- pg. 39 -- Joseph A. Love reached Empire City in February, 1861, only to find that the entire valley had been preempted. Having narrowly escaped death by hanging as a result of a land lease dispute near Denver, Mr. Love was inordinately sensitive to land claims. Consequently, he retreated from the district to prospect the area around Mill City five miles east, and populated only by himself and a few other hopefuls.
Joseph Love had come from Ohio via the Platte River route in 1860 and had leased a ranch from a man named Bill Shaffer. Toward the end of the season, Peter Magnus had arrived at the site to demand possession of the property. When Mr. Love refused to surrender it without some compensation for his work, Peter Magnus began assembling a posse of friends to take possession by force, vowing to lynch Joe Love, who he believed had jumped his property.
Informed of his peril, Mr. Love had barricaded the ranch building and had prepared to meet the lynching party with bullets. Forewarned of their own danger, the lynchers had then decided to parley. They told Mr. Love that the Jams Shaffer who had leased him the property had actually jumped it while Peter Magnus, the real owner, was away. Convinced that this was the truth of the matter, Mr. Love vacated the premises and headed for Empire City. Thwarted again there in his desire to locate, he decided to remain in the vicinity in the off chance he could latch on to a little ground later on when land might not be held so dear at the booming gold camp.
Pg. 122 -- That frustrated settler, Joseph A. Love, had returned to Empire City in the spring of 1863 and managed to acquire a single lot on Park Avenue. On it, he built a cabin for baching quarters and began operating the hack line to Central City as well as a livery stable. Although his policy was to give limited credit, times were good, business was brisk, and he began to prosper despite his generous ways.
Pg. 233 -- About 1867-68 -- Joe Love closed up his livery business and discovered a sulpher spring at Junction City (a.k.a. Empire Junction) (the location of the hot spring is no longer known) enroute to Georgetown where he opened up a store in partnership with William Spruance --
Pg. 279 ff -- About Oct. 1878 -- Joseph A. Love, that frustrated early settler, was even at this late date having a hard time settling. His partner in business in Georgetown, William A. Spruance, had boarded the train at Lawson and tendered a one hundred-dollar bill to the conductor to pay his fare of fifty cents to Georgetown. Charles Covert, the conductor, said he had no change for that amount. Spruance then offered a ten dollar bill which he snatched back when Covert reached for it -- (violence follows) --- Withdrawing from his partnership Spruance, Joseph A. Love decided to found is own town and began putting up a building near his sulpher spring at Swansea. A town site was platted to include single and double lots, 25 x 100 feet and 50 x 100 feet respectively, for which a list of thirty applicants sought to establish various businesses there. However, the railroad track made several curves passing through the site which made considerable obstacles in the way of laying off the lots. Mr. Love took the matter to Superintendent Henry, who not only agreed to straighten the track and adapt it to survey lines, but also reserved grounds within the town limits for a depot sits. --- But the town did not flourish on the ashes of Swansea, and Joseph A. Love's habit of extending credit eventually cost him his last dollar.

Ref: Georgetown Courier, Saturday, 11 Jan. 1908, pg. 4 -- Pioneer "Jo" Love Dead -- Joseph A. Love, one of the pioneer residents of Clear Creek county, was found dead in his bed on Saturday evening of last week. The body was found by Mrs. Love who returned from a visit to Denver on the evening train. It is supposed that the venerable man departed this life on Friday night, as he was last seen on the streets in the afternoon of that day.
In the death of Mr. Love another trailblazer of Colorado has gone to his reward. Coming to Colorado in 1860, he had experienced the usual ups and downs that go to make up the life of the men who did so much toward the up building of the Centennial State. A resident of Clear Creek County since 1861, he was familiarly known to all the older residents.
Mr. Love was born in Coshocton Co., Ohio, Jul. 11, 1829, and came to Colorado in the early part of 1860, first engaging in farming at what is now Petersburg. In May, 1860, he made a trip up Clear Creek and camped on the site of Georgetown. In February, 1861, Mr. Love went to Empire, which was then the scene of much activity. He spent the summer and winter of 1861 at Mill City, and prospected the mountains with James Peregrine. During the summer of 1862, Mr. Love and five companions prospected Clear Creek for gold as for up as east and West Argentine. He returned to Empire in the spring of 1863, and after building a cabin, established a hack line to Central City, which he carried on until 1867. In 1865, when East Argentine was swarming with silver prospectors, he was awarded the contract to carry the mail to that district, but made only two trips on account of the failure of the postmaster to qualify. In 1867 he purchased an interest in the store of William Spurance at Fall River, and had general charge of the business. The firm removed to Georgetown in the spring of 1868, Mr. Love retaining charge of the business, while Mr. Spruance was attending to the duties of the office of County clerk. He withdrew from the firm in 1874, and engaged in mining, acting for some time as superintendent of the Phoenix mine. Subsequently he engaged in carrying on a second hand store, which he conducted until the time of his death. Mr. Love was married a little more than thirty years ago to Miss Jennie Weiser, who survives him.
The funeral took place Monday morning and was attended by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The services were held at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Junkin officiating. (picture)
Ref: (same as above) -- Alex Cree came up from Denver Monday to attend the funeral of Joseph A. Love. Mr. Cree was one of the early day residents, and this was his first visit here for nine years. He came to Georgetown in the sixties, and was engaged successfully in mining, book and news business.

Soon after his death, Mrs. Love moved to Denver, where she became an active worker in the W.C.T.U, the Pioneer Ladies' Aid club and the West Side Women's club. She was a frequent contributor to various papers and magazines, until she was stricken with blindness and deafness five years ago.

Mr. Love was an Uncle of Robert Graham, the livery man (being a brother of the late Mrs. Benjamin Graham, Sr., and of Mrs. J. B. Daniels, now living in the west. His only surviving child is a son, Albert, in Montana.
Major Love was the organizer of Company H, Second Iowa Cavalry, and was elected Major in that Cavalry, after his company moved from Iowa City and joined the other brigade. He was the Father of the company in which the late Benjamin Owen of Iowa City was Captain.
His wife will be recalled as Miss Amanda McGill, daughter of the late Rev. Samuel McGill, famous for his voluminous writing of poetry, in the early days of Iowa City.

Ref: Progressive Men of Montana, pg. 277 – Albert L. Love – Hiram W. Love, a native of Ohio, where he was born in 1830, removed to Iowa in early life, and was a manufacturing dealer in tinware until the time of the Civil war, when he joined the Second Iowa Cavalry and served through the war, rising to the rank of major. After his muster out at the close of the war he lived for a time in Washington, D. C., and then removed to Oregon, where he now resides on a fruit farm, from which he realizes large returns. His wife was Amanda Magill, a daughter of Samuel Magill, one of the substantial citizens of Cumberland, MD, and both were of Irish ancestry. Albert L. Love, son of this worthy couple, was born in Iowa on August 30, 1853, attended the common schools and the state university of his native state, and took a special course in business training at a commercial college, from which he was graduated in 1872. He then went to Kansas City and learned the tinner’s trade. After following this for two years he became a clerk in an Iowa bank and later in various stores, becoming then traveling salesman for a Chicago house, until he became ill in the fall of 1877. After recovering his health the next spring he went to the Black Hills, in South Dakota, and for four years engaged in bookkeeping. In 1882, he removed to Montana, driving a bull outfit to Billings, arriving on August 1, and the next day accepting a position in a bank.
The next spring the bank concluded that its interests demanded a branch bank and sent Mr. Love to establish one at Livingston, making him its cashier, a position he held for five years and achieving a notable success and reputation. He resigned at the end of the time named and removed to Crow Creek valley, in Jefferson county, and engaged in stock raising, but sold his stock in 1897 and in 1898 took up his residence in Bozeman, where he was appointed register of the United State Land Office, a position which he still holds (1901). He has always been active in political affairs on the Republican side and in 1894 was elected to the state legislature. He later was the candidate of his party for state auditor, but was unable to fully overcome the heavy adverse majority in the state. Mr. Love was married on May 15, 1884, to Miss Jennie Goughnour, of Livingston, MT, a daughter of Emanuel Goughnour, a native of Pennsylvania. He was interested in mining, among other official stations having been vice-president of the Cokedale Coke and Coal Company, of which Samuel Hauser was president.
He is an active and zealous member of Bozeman Lodge No. 463, B.P.O.E. Whatever he has engaged in has prospered and he is regarded one of the reliable business men of the community.

Albert Logan Love, who has lived in Bozeman for the past 28 years, being identified with the business life of the city, died at the Deaconess hospital at 10:40, Thursday morning, following a stroke of paralysis which occurred Tuesday evening. Funeral services will be held at the West Chapel at 2:30, Saturday afternoon, under the auspices of the Christian Scientists, and interment will be in the Bozeman cemetery, the burial services to be conducted by the Bozeman lodge of Elks. Mr. Love was born at Iowa City, Iowa, August 30, 1853, and would have been 73 years old had he lived four days more. He came to Montana in 1883, the year the Northern Pacific railroad was completed in the state. He was married May 15, 1884, in Livingston to Miss Jennie Goughnour, daughter of E. Goughnour, a prominent citizen of Park County. Mrs. Love survives her husband. She was transferred to Billings as clerk in the land office, but was with Mr. Love during his illness. Mr. Love served as a member of the legislature from Jefferson County, during the fifth state legislative assembly. He came to Bozeman 28 years ago, being appointed register of the U. S. land office, here, taking charge on April 26, 1898, the day war was declared with Spain. He served a little more than four years in the office, and since that time he has been engaged in the ice and coal business in Bozeman. He was a charter member of Bozeman Lodge No. 463, Benevolent lodge. He has been affiliated with some other fraternal organizations, but did not keep up his membership. While in Livingston he was a member of the band, and he was instrumental in the organization of the Bozeman band that later became the 163rd regimental band, and was always interested in the band concerts. He had many friends in Bozeman and in other parts of Montana."

Mrs. Love, who died Dec. 13, in Los Angeles, CA, was born Feb. 22, 1866, in Adel, Iowa, and came to Livingston with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Emanual Goughnour. She married Albert L. Love on May 15, 1884, at Livingston.
Mrs. Love lived here for many years where her husband was registrar of the United States Land Office. She, too worked in the same office for 38 years. Mrs. Love was also associated with the Billings Land Office. After her retirement, she lived at the Northern Hotel in Billings until two months ago when her niece, the late Mrs. Eva (Goughnour) Davis, took her to Los Angeles to live. Mrs. Davis, Livingston native and widow of William Davis of Bozeman died Nov. 3 at Los Angeles.
Mrs. Love’s survivors include two nieces, Mrs. Alberta (Goughnour) Sell of Salem, OR, and Mrs. Blanche Fishel, Washington, D. C., and two nephews, Fred M. Goughnour, Minneapolis, and Frank Goughnour in California.
Ref: Progressive Men Of Montana, pg. 277 – Albert L. Love – Hiram W. Love, a native of Ohio, where he was born in 1830, removed to Iowa in early life, and was a manufacturing dealer in tinware until the time of the Civil War, when he joined the Second Iowa Cavalry and served through the war, rising to the rank of major. After his muster out at the close of the war he lived for a time in Washington, D.C., and then removed to Oregon, where he now resides on a fruit farm, from which he realized large returns. His wife was Amanda Magill, a daughter of Samuel Magill, one of the substantial citizens of Cumberland, MD, and both were of Irish ancestry. Albert L. Love, son of this worthy couple, was born in Iowa on August 30, 1853, attended the common schools and the state university of his native state, and took a special course in business training at a commercial college, from which he graduated in 1872. He then went to Kansas City and learned the tinner’s trade. After following this for two years he became a clerk in an Iowa bank and later in various stores, becoming then traveling salesman for a Chicago house, until he became ill in the fall of 1877. After recovering his health the next spring he went to the Black Hills, in South Dakota, and for four years engaged in bookkeeping. In 1882 he removed to Montana, driving a bull outfit to Billings, arriving on August 1, and the next day accepting a position in a bank.
The next spring the bank concluded that its interests demanded a branch bank and sent Mr. Love to establish one at Livingston, making him its cashier, a position he held for five years and achieving a notable success and reputation. He resigned at the end of the time named and removed to Crow Creek Valley, in Jefferson County, and engaged in stockraising, but sold his stock in 1897 and in 1898 took up his residence in Bozeman, where he was appointed register of the United State Land Office, a postion which he still holds (1901). He has always been active in political affairs on the Republican side and in 1894 was elected to the state legidslature. He later was the candidate of his party for state auditor, but was unable to fully overcome the heavy adverse majority in the state. Mr. Love was married on May 15, 1884, to Miss Jennie Goughnour, of Livingston, MT, a daughter of Emanuel Goughnour, a native of Pennsylvania. He was interested in mining, among other official stations having been vice-president of the Cokedale Coke and Coal Company, of which Samuel Hauser wsa president. He is an active and zealour member of Bozeman Lodge No. 463, B.P.O.E. Whatever he has engaged in has prospered and he is regarded one of the reliable business men of the community.

A Reference
Ref: Alexander Love, Pioneer, 1782-1849 by John W. Love (1892-1958), Cleveland, OH dtd. 1 Mar. 1945 with recollections of John D. Love (1865-1948) and Matthew T. Love (1860-1935) of conversations with their father, Joseph Love (1821-1888), the youngest son of Alexander Love. The Bible referred to was in the possession of John D. Love, of Mt. Vernon until his death.
Notes – A few articles of furniture can be identified as Alexander’s property. One is a small maple chair, probably one of a set; another is a drop-leaf desk, believed to have been bought in Coshocton, an excellent piece. Both belonged to John W. Love, and are now (1945) in the possession of Robert M. Love (1927-living) of Cleveland, OH. Both the Bible and the broadaxe, mentioned in the text, were in the possession of John D. Love (1865-1948), of Mt. Vernon, until his death; they are now lost.
The carding machine appeared in a tax bill for 1843; it was valued at $250. It must have been a pretty good machine, for the same year the tax valuation on Alexander’s house was only $150.
Alexander Love was born in Ireland, June 12, 1782, according to an entry in his own handwriting in his family Bible in the possession of John D. Love of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, his grandson. His birthplace was probably in the southeast corner of County Donegal. (All of the Irish cities named in this biography are in an area of abut 40 to 50 miles. Donegal is the north most county of Ireland.)
On January 5, 1806, when he was 23, Alexander married Elizabeth Platt, who was four years his senior. She was the daughter of Thomas Platt, also of Co. Donegal, and an unremembered mother. Elizabeth had at least one brother and one sister.
Alexander and Elizabeth had five children, Thomas born November 12, 1806; Robert, born April 1, 1809; Ann Jane, born January 14, 1812; Alexander, born September 27, 1917; and Joseph, born July 12, 1821. Thomas was born in Ireland, Robert and Ann Jane were born in New Jersey and the remaining in Ohio. The dates are from the family Bible. (The birth locations are from census records.)
Alexander, his wife, one small child and Thomas Platt, then about 70, left Ireland for the United States in 1808. They were probably accompanied by William (1784-1856), Alexander’s younger brother, and James’s daughter, Margaret. James, the oldest brother, came to Philadelphia near the end of his life and his daughter, Margaret lived long enough in Ireland to be homesick after she left. (It is said of Margaret that she could neither read nor write, but she was probably not alone in illiteracy.) A 10-year-old child named Ann Day was also in the group on shipboard. One brother, Joseph, remained in Ireland and died there; his four sons came to this country in 1834.
Two other entries appear in the family Bible. One of them, in Alexander’s hand, reads: “November the third 18010 (blank) Love com in to a Merrica.” Near the bottom of the page is the statement: “Alexander Love com in to America May 11th in the year 1808.” Joseph Love, the librarian of Coshocton, Ohio, gave two dates for Alexander’s arrival. For Hunt’s history of Coshocton County, he supplied the information that Alexander and his brother William came to this country in 1810. In an obituary article on his first cousin, Alexander’s son, Joseph, he stated that Alexander and his wife emigrated from Ireland in 1808. Alexander’s son, Robert, always understood that he was born in Ireland, and his birth date was April 1, 1809. It is possible that the confusion resulted from Alexander’s coming to this country in 1808, followed by his wife and children in 1810, but if so, then Robert’s birth date is not correct. (PRO – I suspect that Alexander came with his family in 1808, settled in Newark, Essex Co., NJ until 1810 when they moved to Coshocton Co., OH.)
The family is said to have believed itself to be the last of the Love relationship to leave Ireland. Relatives had been going to America for generations. A nephew, one of Joseph’s sons, came to America about 25 years later, did so because of the decline of the linen industry in Co. Donegal, but records show it had been declining for a century.
The party landed in New York. Alexander was interested in buying a farm and inquired of real estate dealers on Manhattan Island. One of them put him in a carriage and drove into the country. The land he saw was “too stony”, however, and he decided against a purchase. A relative reported many years afterward that he had been shrewd in not buying there. The land was so worthless it had been made into a park – Central Park.
Alexander and his family went to Newark, NJ and lived there two years, Alexander probably working as a laborer. Robert and Ann Jane were born there. It is thought brother William with his family went to frontier of Ohio and settled in Linton Twp., Coshocton Co., OH in 1810. In 1812, Alexander and his family followed William to Coshocton Co., OH. (Joseph Love of Coshocton stated in 1888 that the family reached the county “in 1815 or 1816.”)
Hill’s history of Coshocton County says the two brothers settled on what was called Irish Run, just below Bacon Run, and commenced distilling whisky. “Alexander and William Love inaugurated its manufacture in Linton Township. Their still-house, of modest size, was located on Irish Run, near the western line of Section 9. The process of distillation was begun here about 1812. The Loves subsequently sold out to Andrew Ferguson, who removed the still to Bacon Run.”
Hunt’s history of the county suggests somewhat different dates for their arrival. Loves are not mentioned in Hunt’s lists of land owners or tenants in 1812, but they are named “among the more prominent families of later date.” Although Joseph Love, of Coshocton, assisted Hill in the preparation of this book, Joseph later stated that the arrival took place in 1815 or 1816. It is very possible that Alexander Love made two trips to Ohio from New Jersey, perhaps accompanying William on the first trip.
Coshocton County was still a wilderness. The entire white population was scarcely 200. Indians were still there in their old numbers, but they were peaceable throughout the War of 1812 and becoming dependant on the white settlers. Most of them left after 1814. At the start the settler’s chief means of livelihood was probably the purchase of game from the Indians and that little cultivation possible in their clearings. There Alexander Jr. and Joseph were born.
The cabin, in which the family lived, probably with William, was still standing in 1945. The photograph accompanying this biography is one of one such cabin in Irish Hollow. The cabin was definitely built by one of the early Loves, whether it was built by Alexander and Elizabeth Love is not known. The town is now about one mile west of the old site of Plainfield. (The town was moved in 1938 to provide room for flood-control works.) About 1000 feet to the north is the supposed site of the still-house. The cabin is of one and a half stories and was occupied in the 1930s by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Collins, the latter a descendant of Alexander’s brother, Joseph.
By 1820 the county had a population of 7000 and a whisky industry of 14 stills. Utter’s history of frontier Ohio states that an estimated 10,000 gallons of liquor, the entire output, was consumed in the county that year. Some time after, other Loves did a considerable business in whisky, but this first still must have been a poor living. A typical still-house had a 25 to 40 gallon still and a half a dozen tubs, with a capacity of about a barrel a day.
Other families of probably relationship were reaching Coshocton County in the heavy immigration which followed the end of the War of 1812. Robert Platt, perhaps the brother of Elizabeth (Platt) Love, Alexander’s wife, came to Linton Township in 1816, perhaps accompanying her and the children. He also had emigrated from Ireland to Newark, NJ in 1809. John Love, born in County Donegal came to America in 1826 and settled in Keene Township. John O’Love and Thomas Love, both relatives of his, were born in Molinmore Parish, on the northern shore of Donegal Bay, and John Love married Eleanor Love of the same parish. All three came to Coshocton County. They and the McKees, two of whom married Loves, were believed related to Alexander and William. It is not certain that any of them reached Coshocton County by the time Alexander left, but a grandson his, Sheridan T. Love, visited their descendants many years afterwards.
Other Loves, more closely related, reached the county afterward. William Love, “tall, straight and sandy-haired, with a broad Irish accent,” a linen weaver, a son of Joseph and a nephew of Alexander, came to Philadelphia with his brothers James and Alexander in 1834. In 1846, he came to Linton Mills and died later at Bacon Run. Thus it is apparent that the Loves in this country kept in touch with relatives in Ireland for nearly a quarter of a century after the first of the family had arrived. No correspondence appears to have been preserved.
In the summer of 1823, when Alexander Love was 41, he bought land in the Wangum Valley, Berlin Township, Knox County, Ohio. The Indian trail from Coshocton to upper Sandusky crossed the tract – ruler laid down between the two places crosses the farm. The abstract of title reveals that it had been obtained on a patent made out to one John Noyes by President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison in 1802. The land was in the U.S. Military District, set up in 1797-1798 for veterans of the Revolution.
In 1817, Joseph, William and Matthew Noyes deeded the land to George Hoadley, and the following year, Hoadley sold it to James Stanberry for $600. In 1823, following the collapse of land values in the west, Stanberry sold it to Alexander Love for $200, of which $50 was borrowed.
It is clear that the Love family had been able to save little from the 11 years in Coshocton County. Alexander had some money when he reached this country – he had inquired for farms on Manhattan Island – and he may have put a little capital into the whiskey business. It is practically certain that he was also caught in some way in the financial panic of 1819, which resulted from over-speculation in western land, and in the depression which lasted several years afterward.
The first purchase in Knox County (Ohio) was of 176 acres – at a little more than one dollar an acre. Alexander selected hilly land because it was self-drained, in preference to the level, unhealthy, and at that time, almost untillable bottom land, a few miles farther west. The valley is one of the indentations in the Portage Escarpment, the west edge of the Appalachian Plateau. Timber grew big on the farm, and this he regarded as evidence of good soil. None of the timber had been cut and apparently the former owners had made no improvements. In the summer and autumn of 1823, Alexander built a cabin, possibly with the help of the two older boys. He selected the site where he had found a spring on the stream bank, at what later became a bend in the farm lane. Late in the fall he returned to Plainfield. The following spring, he brought the family to its new home. They probably came over the Indian trail, which at that time was plainly marked.
In journeying to Knox County one year and bringing his family out the next, Alexander appeared to follow an old custom of his, a method of caution he had used before. He may have made two trips to America, and he may have come to Ohio first in 1812 and again in 1815 or 1816.
For several years, the family lived in the cabin about a quarter of a mile back from the highway. Soon after their arrival, perhaps the same year, Alexander and the older boys built the first section of the barn, which still stands. About that time, they discovered the spring at the foot of the knoll. In 1831, they built the brick house, making the bricks themselves from clay taken from near where the cabin stood. The house was of two stories with chimneys at each end of the gables, a type of which several still stand nearby. When it was taken down in 1876, the bricks were used for insulation in the walls of the frame house built on the same site.
The construction materials available to Alexander were very poor. The foundation was made out of soft sandstone that decomposed. The mortar was poor as they had no cement. The bricks were not made out of good brick clay or fired correctly. The house remained in good shape during Alexander’s life, but his son, Joseph had to replace it.
By the autumn of 1828, and perhaps earlier, Alexander was hauling his wheat to Milan, Erie County, (Ohio) where it was sold at an elevator, loaded into boats on the Huron River, and shipped as far as New York, by way of the Erie Canal. In the busy seasons at that port, several years afterward, as many as 600 wagons arrived in one day, some of them drawn by four or six horses. Twenty sailing vessels were sometimes loaded in a 24-hour period. For a number of years, the wagons from Knox County took the stage road from Fredricktown through Mansfield, Truxville (Ganges), New Haven and Monroeville. The trip required two days one way. It was generally made in groups, and Knox County parties often stayed overnight at taverns in our near Ganges, Richland County. A map of Ohio highways in 1834 shows no other road was available.
The Wangum Valley, where Alexander lived, is shown on the typographical maps as Wannegan Valley, but Wangum was the name known to the settlers. Wangum wheat was long quoted in Mansfield under that spelling – at 2 cents over the market because of the quality of the flour.
Several years after they opened the farm, the Loves erected a carding mill at the foot of the north slope of the rise where the brick house stood. This was a substantial two-storied frame building, about 30x36 feet, the timbers of which were hewn with a broadaxe. (His grandson, John D. Love, had this axe in Mt. Vernon.) Power was supplied from a mill race which ran to a dam about half a mile up the stream. Faint traces of the race could still be seen in 1945. The water drove an overshot wheel set in a pit. Many years afterward (1869 or 1870), when the building was torn down and its timbers used to build the hog house (still standing, 1945), the site and its spring was utilized for the milk house.
The mill was used to prepare wool for sewing and to full the cloth afterwards. The work was done for all neighboring households which had spinning wheels and looms. Power machinery was used only for carding and fulling. Fredricktown reported two carding mills and two fulling mills in 1846, and Mt. Vernon had one fulling mill. Knox County was at that time one of the leading Ohio producers of wool and probably also of woolen cloth. To dress cloth, Alexander used the burr of the teasel (Dipsacus Sylvestris), which he planted and cultivated, but which turned out to be a weed. A number of years afterward, it had overrun the valley. Its dried flower-head is said to have done finer work than modern machine combs. Fulling included agitating the cloth in warm soapy Water, which also washed it.
The mill was regarded as a failure. The stream, Owl Creek, supplied too little water, particularly after the forest had been cleared. Yet in the year of Alexander’s death (1849), it was still considered useful enough that he stipulated in his will that the heir to the farmstead should do the carding and fulling for his brothers and sisters. Some of the carded wool was taken to the Beard Mill, which still stands, now a barn, three miles northeast of Butler, on Ohio Route 95.
Farm life must have been one almost solely of toil. What social activity the family enjoyed was probably centered in Berlin Church (Methodist), where they were members. Few stories of that 25-year period have come down to their descendants. Members of the family went to Mt. Vernon by wagon occasionally. There is no record that Alexander or his wife ever left the county, except for the trips to Milan. It is possible that they purchased furniture in Coshocton in later years.
The women must have worked as hard as the men and boys. (“Old Tom” Platt probably led a chimney-corner life.) The farm production included milk, butter and cheese, eggs, fresh and smoked meats, fresh and canned fruit, thread and yarn, linen and cotton cloth, bedding and clothing. Wheat and corn were ground at Shaler’s mill, a mile down the valley. Little was purchased except for boots and shoes, salt, harness, farm implements, tools and bar iron. Even some of this may have been made on the farm. Two of their spinning wheels existed in the twentieth century, now lost.
It is doubtful if Alexander and Elizabeth Love ever rode on a railroad train, though they may have seen one. The Mansfield and Sandusky City was completed and operated from Mansfield northward in 1846. The Columbus and Lake Erie was incorporated in 1845 to build from Newark to Mansfield and construction was carried on in 1849 and 1850, through Mt. Vernon, Fredricktown and Ankenytown. At least six of their descendants were connected with successor railroad companies in one way or another.
The top social event of those years on the farm must have been the marriage of Ann Jane, or Jane as she was called, to Walter McClelland, her first cousin – the son of Elizabeth Platt’s sister, Sarah (Platt) McClellan(d). All four of the sons married farm girls living between them and Fredricktown or Mt. Vernon.
Thomas Platt died January 14, 1838, at the age of 95, and was buried in the still new Berlin churchyard. Branches of thorn were piled on his grave to keep the wolves from digging up the body lying under the snow and loose clods. The last bounty on wolves was not paid in that region for 10 years afterward.
Alexander Love died August 20, 1849, at the age of 67. The cause of his death is not known. His wife, then 71, died the following year. Both were buried in the Berlin churchyard. Joseph was the only son still living at home at that time. He was married the year after his mother died, to Ann Jane Thompson, a member of the family the Loves had known in Ireland.
Alexander’s will, a copy of which was preserved by John D. Love, was signed July 2, 1849. In it he disposes of 548 acres, $400 in cash, “the carding machine”, a stock of merchandise in a store in Fredricktown, a quantity of notes and other credits owing to him, a house and several lots in Fredricktown, some livestock and household goods. Executors were his sons, Thomas and Joseph.
Thomas received the farm on which he was then living, 126 acres, plus $150. Robert received the farm he was living on, 127 acres, three lots in Fredricktown, and $50. His daughter, Ann Jane McClelland, was bequeathed the 100-acre farm in Monroe Township, east of Mt. Vernon, on which she and her husband were living, and $100. Alexander Jr., received 120 acres of farm land, a house and lot in Fredricktown, and two-thirds of the stock in the store in Fredricktown. (Alexander was probably operating the store at the time.) Joseph received the 175-acre farm on which he was living, one-third of the stock in the store, and the carding machine, with the provision that he was to do the carding and fulling for other members of the family free of charge. Nancy Platt, granddaughter of Thomas Platt and niece of Elizabeth (Platt) Love who had lived with the family over 20 years, received $100, a bed, a bureau, six chairs, six sheep, one cow, one colt and “a reasonable amount of shelfrey”, which may have referred to canned goods. His widow, named first in the will, was bequeathed the furniture and “a comfortable maintenance”.
Several things are suggested by the will. The estate was a large one. Alexander had been prosperous for most of his last 25 year. He and his sons were men of good health and energy – they had cleared an average of 20 acres of woodland a year. Alexander had a breadth of interest and mechanical inclination. His farm specialties were wheat and wool at a time when sheep raising was near its peak of prosperity. Knox County was among the leaders of the state not only in wool, but in wheat production. In relation to other activities, agriculture was never more prosperous in Ohio than it was in the 1840s. The fact that Alexander left a larger estate than did any of his sons was at least partly due to his living before the decline in local agriculture that followed the opening of the prairies.
It is also apparent that Alexander took a decidedly paternal interest in his children. At various times he had acquired land in addition to the original 176 acres and had deeded it to them, presumably later – the deeds are mentioned in the will. The eldest son was 43 at the time of his father’s death, his youngest 28. Only Joseph had received no property by deed, but this was due to his living on the homestead. The size of the estate, then, should be credited in considerable part to the exertions of the other members of the family. Alexander probably supplied credit for their ventures, such as the store, as he had evidently done also for some of his neighbors. He had led a hard life, but an exceedingly active one. All of his children surviving him, and he and Elizabeth must have looked back on their toil with much satisfaction.

1.5.4.1.3 Love, John Duncan b. 31 Aug. 1929, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH, md. 1 Apr. 1961, Garden City, Long Island, NY to Nina Elizabeth Simonsen.
Ref: Email from Duncan Love dtd. 31 Aug. 2004 – I grew up in Cleveland, OH and went to Oberlin for college. My first job was with a nonprofit research firm that worked exclusively for the U.S. Army. That was interrupted with two years in the U. S. Army as a draftee, doing exactly the same thing I was doing for the nonprofit. I had a couple of years on the Army contract for a failing profit-not-making firm, and then transferred to a Navy nonprofit group. I worked there 30 years, and followed with some part-time work after “retirement”. Actually, I did not go into full retirement until the start of last year.
Nina and I started looking for a retirement group last fall and visited Oberlin. We signed on, expecting to be called in two or three years. They called us in six months! We sold the house, got movers, packed and left town in about six weeks! So here we are. This retirement home is not connected with the college in any manner what so ever, BUT the college accepts us as auditors. No tests, and no papers. I guess you would say that everything is fine if we don’t interfere with the students and don’t put an extra load on the teachers.
I do not know the names of the parents of Alexander (1782-1849) and William (1784-1856). None of his grandchildren knew who they were. My father knew and visited with all but one of his uncles and aunts, and none of them knew. They did not know what part of Ireland he had come from. This is somewhat surprising since several of these family members were interested in their family history. Perhaps they got interested when it was too late.
My aunt was interested, and she thought that she knew where the original Love family had lived. She even went to Ireland to visit the particular house. The house was still owned by a Love family. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then she went next door to see if the neighbors might know anything about the Love family. BOY DID THEY EVER!!! Those Loves were the worst neighbors ever! They were just no good, etc., etc. I was never able to find out where she went or why she thought that these were our relatives. It did not help that her traveling companion was still collapsing in hysterical laughter when she told this story.
On the other hand, there was a Presbyterian minister in Stranorlar Parish on the east edge of County Donegal, a minister named Joseph Love who lived from 1767 to 1807. He is a tempting target for our common ancestor. This date is particularly tempting as it would allow the lands and legacies to be settled before Alexander and William came to America. I have always thought it might have been his death that released funds used to pay for the travel to America. To my knowledge, this aspect has never been investigated. There is a second possible connection here. My ancestor, Joseph Love, married Jane Thompson who had moved with her parents from Ireland to Knox county in Ohio. Apparently, the two families knew of each other, or perhaps were friends, when they were in Ireland. The Thompson’s family is fairly well located, about 12 to 15 miles west of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. Their location would put them within a reasonable distance from Stranorlar.
The Irish did have a naming pattern.
Son Daughter
First Father’s Father Mother’s Mother
Second Mother’s Father Father’s Mother
Third Father Mother
But I don’t believe it was followed too closely. When the third and fourth sons got around to naming their children there were already too many grandchildren with the same names. William, Alexander, Thomas and Joseph Love’s are all the Ulster area of Ireland. My father thought that all people named Love were related. You certainly see these names again and again in our families.

Ref: Maro Johnson – James Love was probably born 1811 or 1812, came to Philadelphia with his brothers in 1832 and went later to Linton Township in Coshocton Co., OH, where he became a farmer. On October 21, 1858, he was married to Nancy Rambo by the Reverend R. W. Marquis. She may have been the daughter of Peter Rambo, who served in the War of 1812 from Linton Township and later operated a ferry across Wills Creek near old Plainfield. James died September 26, 1890, and is buried at Boden. He mentions his wife Nancy in his will, but she may have died before him, as he spent the last years of his life at the home of his nephew, Joseph, in Plainfield. There were no children. The Rev. Marquis was the first settled pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Linton Township and served from 1852 to 1859. He is buried in the church cemetery.

Ref: Sherry Cornelius - According to Hayes’ Military Registration Card, Hayes A. gave his last known address as 756 Greene Street, Marietta, OH. His occupation was working for the Pennsylvania Railroad as a railroad fix-it man, his employer was H. R. Brady, and he received an honorable mention from the Railroad for a job well done. Hayes was a tall slender man with light blue eyes and red thinning hair. (His draft card states that he was bald). The Monroe Twp., Muskingum Co., OH, Otsego Cem., lists his unit as Co. E, 6th Infantry.
Hayes Cornelius was listed in the April 27th, 1910 census of Knox Twp., Guernsey Co., OH as being 22, no occupation, living with his Father Wilbert Orren Cornelius and his Mother, Ida. By the 1920 Knox Twp., Guernsey Co., OH census, Hayes was no longer living with his parents, since he died in 1918 during WW1. By 1910 and prior to September of 1917, he moved away from home. He then entered the Army on 19 Sep. 1917 and served in WW #1 where he was killed in action on 12 Sep. 1918 in France. While driving a Federal truck that had broken down, he was attempting to fix the truck, when he was shot and received fatal injuries from shrapnel, killing him on the battlefield in France. His body was buried on 15 Sep. 1918, 3 days after he was killed, 75 yards East of the German Red Cross Hospital, in a wooden box with his uniform on, dog tags attached to his body and on the cross marker. On 28 Apr. 1919, his body was removed from grave #26, in Vieville, M et M, 52 NE, 366.8, E. 240.65 N and transported to Grave #115, Sec. #6, Plot #3, St. Mihiel, American Red Cross Cemetery No. 1233, Thiaucourt, M et M (France). On May 9th, 1921, Hayes’ body was again removed from his grave in Thiaucourt, France, and shipped to Ohio at the request of his Father, Wilbert Orren Cornelius, where he is now buried in the Otsego Methodist Church Cemetery in Muskingum County, OH.. A full military funeral was given for Hayes at the time of his burial at the Otsego Methodist Church Cemetery.
Hayes never married but had an affair with Irma A. Simmons which produced a child, Herbert Reginald Cornelius, b. 9 Sep. 1916, in Coshocton, OH. Irma was also seeing another man at the time of her affair with Hayes, playing one man against the other, we believe that the other man could have been Walter Larntz since she married Walter in 1917. Hayes left home prior to Irma’s marriage to Walter Larntz, we believe to Marietta, OH; according to his military records, he lists his last known address as 756 Green St., Marietta, OH. Since Hayes listed no wife or children as being heirs, we think he never knew about the birth of his son, Herb (Herbert).
Ref: (Sherry Cornelius) It was believed that Hayes Cornelius never knew he had a son until letters written to Irma Simmons while he was in the service proved otherwise. Irma used these letters in court to give their son Herb Cornelius the rights to the Cornelius name and to prove that Hayes was the father. Hayes Cornelius would not recognize Herb as their grandson.
Ref: Sherry Cornelius learned that Hayes received the following medals for serving and dying during WW #1: Purple Heart, France Medal, and Good Conduct Medal. Hayes draft card indicated that Hayes had red hair and of slender build.

His body was flown back to Livingston, TX, where he and his wife, Mary, made their final home. He’s buried in a cemetery in Houston, TX.
Mr. Harold Welker, son of Leola May (Cornelius), Herb’s Aunt, recalls two incidents about Herb in their earlier years while going to school: “In those days, the high school baseball teams traveled to play other schools in the players’ private cars. I remember Herb driving the team to play in his Dad’s Oakland Touring Car. I remember that it had “disc” wheels. At another time, I remember Herb was the chauffeur using his Dad’s car for John Marlatt and Mary Baird for a school wiener roast.”

Ref: Hill, N. N. Jr., History of Coshocton County, OH, Newark: A. A. Graham & Co., 1881 -- Joseph Love, Linton Twp., farmer, born in Philadelphia, PA on 1 Mar. 1836. His father was born in Co. Donegal, Ireland, and emigrated to Philadelphia in 1834 and to Linton Twp., in 1846. His three brothers followed him to America, but preceded him to Coshocton county. William and Alexander, two early settlers of Linton Twp., were great-uncles to Joseph. Joseph began teaching in 1855, and has taught in this and adjoining counties for fifteen years. Joseph md. 22 Aug. 1861, to Margaret Rusk, a lady of Scotch-Irish descent, d/o William Rusk, who emigrated from Co. Antrim, Ireland to Guernsey county about 1840, and to Coshocton County in 1858. Joseph's children were: William, Ella Jane, Margaret Anne, George Rusk, Robert M., Emily S. and Bessie.
Ref: Democratic Standard, Coshocton, Ohio; pg. 1; 7 June 1901 -- A Good Woman Called Away -- Mrs. Margaret Love, the revered wife of Mr. Joseph Love, died on Friday of last week, at the family home in Linton township, after a lingering illness, resulting from dropsy. Her age was about fifty-five years, and her death is mourned as a personal loss by all who know her. Her gentle nature and amiable disposition added to her sterling christian character, won for her the affection of friends and the esteem of all, and her death, while not unexpected, came as a shock to the community of which she had long been a member, and which her pure life had honored. A good neighbor, kindly and helpful to all, her influence for good will be missed in the circles in which in life she moved. Her maiden name was Margaret Rusk. She became the wife of Joseph Love, August 22nd, 1861. Eight children were born to them five daughters and three sons. Four daughters, with the three sons and the sorely afflicted husband and father, survive to mourn the loss of an affectionate, self-sacrificing mother, and loving and faithful wife. Truly hers was a noble life, full of good works, and though she rests from earth's labors, in the sleep of death, the memory of her good deeds live after her, to cheer the hearts of sorrowing ones left behind, whose grief and consolation in the assurance that what to them is so great a loss is to her an eternal gain.. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Blackford, last Sunday, following which the remains were placed at rest in the grave at West Lafayette.
Ref: Maro Johnson – Joseph was born in Philadelphia March 1, 1836, removed with his parents to Ohio in 1846. In 1855, he became a teacher in the county schools when not occupied in farm duties. After the death of his father he took charge of the farm and continued so until about 1900 when he moved to Coshocton where he was appointed librarian of the public library. He died March 29, 1923.
Mr. Love married in 1861, Margaret Rusk, daughter of William Rusk, a native of County Antrim, Ireland. Mrs. Love died April 29, 1898. He subsequently married Sarah Miller.

Ref: Biddeford Daily Journal, Biddeford, ME, 5 Oct. 1946 -- Rites for Dr. George Love, Ex-Saco Mayor -- Veteran Physician in this Vicinity -- Dr. George Rusk Love, 77, former Saco mayor and York county medical examiner and a practicing physician in Saco for 25 years, died Friday at a local hospital, following a long illness.
Born at Plainfield, Ohio, January 21, 1869, the son of Joseph and Margaret (Rusk) Love, he was educated in public schools there and received his medical degree from Ohio State University. He was graduated with honors from Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio in 1897, and after a competition examination was appointed house surgeon at the Miami Valley hospital, Dayton, Ohio.
In 1898 he was appointed to the medical staff of the Toledo State hospital for the insane and served six years as chief of staff. He was later named superintendent of the same hospital, serving in that capacity until July 15, 1919, when he resigned and moved to Saco to take up general practice.
He served as York county medical examiner for several years, resigning a year ago because of ill health, and was twice elected president of the Wardwell home, Saco. He also served as treasurer of the Biddeford and Saco County club.
A former mayor of Saco, he was a member of the Masonic lodge, F. and A. M. Chapter Council, Knight Templars, Shriners all of Toledo, a member of the Biddeford and Saco Rotary club, the American Medical association and the Maine society. He attended the Second Parish Unitarian church, Saco.
He leaves his widow, Mrs. Helen Deering Love; a son, George D. Love; two grandchildren, all of Saco; one brother, R. M. Love, Coshocton, OH, and three sisters; Mrs. Annie Kirk, Mrs. Emily Roche and Mrs. Bessie Lewis, all of Ohio.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 from his home, 408 Main Street, Saco.
Ref: Journal Tribune Weekend, Biddeford Daily Journal, 22 August 1992 -- In 1919 Mrs. Helen D. Love purchased a home at 408 Main Street, Saco, York Co., ME from C. Wilson Place. The transaction is recorded in Bk. 665, pg. 490 of the York County Recorders Office. The house has been designated a historical home and is now a bed and breakfast known as "The Crown and Anchor Bed and Breakfast". According to the application for designation of historical homes the home was two stories built of clapboard, with a new brick foundation, stick work under the eaves with trefoil details, cutty corner bay leaded glass double doors, and elaborate stick work porch. Of historic and architectural significance was a galbe with stick fan on elevation, a slate roof, a walkway of glazed red and black bricks leading to the front porch and it is the largest and most impressive stick style house in Saco.) The Roscoe Bowers house sits at 408 Main Street. This house is perhaps the best example of why this part of town could be referred to as "Mayors' Alley," home to numerous mayors of the city. This house was built in the 1880s, before or after the Joseph Hobson family transferred the land to the Bowers family. Roscoe Bowers purchased the land from Celia Hobson by 1885, that year paying taxes on the "home of Celia Hobson."
Therefore, he either built the house or bought it from Celia Hobson, wife of Joseph Hobson, a mayor of Saco. Joseph was also the son of the first mayor of Saco. Roscoe Bowers also served as mayor, as did Dr. George Love who later lived in the house. Incredibly, three Saco mayors have lived in this house.
Dr. George Love moved here from Ohio and became a prominent Saco physician. He married into the renowned Deering family. A choice story which has come down through the years involves the garage which now sits around the corner and behind the house. Originally the garage was at the end of the driveway but apparently Mrs. Love once drove through the garage door and out the back wall when she failed to bring the car to a stop. By rebuilding the garage in back, Dr. Love thought his wife would have to slow down to make the turn.

Ref: Journal Tribune, Saco, ME, 30 Apr. 1992 - Portland - George D. Love, 85, formerly of Saco, died Tuesday at Maine Medical Center after a long illness.
He was born in Toledo, Ohio, April 26, 1908, the son of Dr. George Rusk and Helen Deering Love. He had lived and was educated in Saco and attended Thornton Academy, Exeter Academy, Worcester Academy and MIT.
Mr. Love was a textile machinery design engineer for 25 years at the Saco-Lowell Shops in Biddeford. After leaving Saco-Lowell, he was employed for 14 years at Southworth Machine Company where he designed hydraulic lift tables. One of Mr. Love's designs was used at the Portland International Ferry terminal.
In 1959 the U. S. State Department sent Mr. Love on a trade mission to Poland. As a textile machine expert, he advised his counterparts on rebuilding their manufacturing bases. Several Polish citizens secretly gave Mr. Love personal messages, which he subsequently delivered to relatives living in the United States.
While living in the Saco community he served as chairman of the Saco Zoning Appeals Board, and for several years sat on the Board of Trustees of Thornton Academy. He was a past master of the Masonic Lodge of Saco; a member of Kora Temple Shrine, Lewiston. He was also a member of the United Church of Christ in Biddeford, where he served on the business committee. As part of the church's 150th anniversary celebration, he designed and built a float-sized model of the church.
Mr. Love had a wide variety of interests reflecting his engineering skills, love of aviation, and space. He combined his meticulous attention to detail and handcrafting skills to create gas-driven model airplanes and model ships. As an amateur astronomer, he designed and built his own six-inch reflecting telescope, hand-grinding the primary lens. He was an accomplished photographer and helped found the Biddeford-Saco Camera Club. Many of his photographs were of astronomical events taken through telescopes. In his later years he became interested in model shipbuilding and built a replica of Charles Darwin's HMS Beagle.
Surviving are his wife, Rebecca Kennard Love of Portland; two daughters, Cynthia Estes of Delmar, NY and Deborah Olstad of San Diego, CA; a son, Mark Love of Portland; five grandchildren and a great-grandchild.

Ref: Ltr dtd. 9 Oct. 1992, from Jillian C. Jakeman, Ocean Park, MD to PRO – In reply to your request for material on the Love family you will find enclosed newspaper obits; genealogy on the Deering family, George Rusk Love’s wife family; mayoral info; architectural and residential pictures and survey notes on the homes of both George R. and George D. The Crown and Anchor Bed and Breakfast, was the home of George and Becky Love. Becky (Rebecca) now lives in Portland on Danforth Street at Franklin Towers if you would like any further details. Zip is 04011, the street number is 125.
Becky was very pleased to hear that her old home had been completely restored to its early appearance. She and husband George also lived in the Bayview section of Saco on the ocean before moving to Portland.
George Rusk Love and his wife Helen, lived on Main Street until 1948 when they moved in with Katherine Deering on Westwood Lane. Katherine was Helen’s aunt. You will notice that it was Helen who bought the house on Main Street.
The Dyer Library was given to the city by Frank Deering, Helen’s brother who built the beautiful Italianate home for his residence. Joseph, Helen’s other brother, was born there. I would be glad to send you material on the Deering home if you are interested.
The original Dyer Library, named after Oliver Dyer by his wife bequeathed money to the city for a free public library, after she died in 1879. Her late husband having often expressed a desire that his property be left to the citizens of Saco. It is now the Saco Police Station. Very sincerely, Jillian C. Jakeman

Magness, one of the respected citizens of Plainfield, who for many months has been afflicted with cancer of the mouth, and for the past two weeks has been in terrible pain. He was known throughout the eastern part of the county and wherever known was beloved. He was a consistent member of the M.E. Church, and a veteran of the Civil War. He was a prosperous farmer, and had reached the age of 63, and for many years had been prominent in the affairs of Linton Twp. He has made a hard fight with death and for months has been battling with the dread disease. Several weeks ago he consulted an eminent specialist in Columbus, but was unable to obtain relief. Besides a host of friends, he leaves a devoted wife and three children, Miss Katherine and Harry at home and Mrs. Fred Abbott of Coshocton. Funeral will be held at the home on Wednesday p.m. in charge of Rev. Pebbles of the M. E. Church. Interment at Plainfield Cem.

The driver of the car, Martha L. Arnold, 31, of 524 West State Street, Newcomberstown, apparently did not see the victim, who was approximately six feet from the curb when struck, according to the Police reports of the accident. Police Chief John Lawver said the driver of the car would not be held pending a complete investigation of the tragedy, which was the second traffic fatality of the year for Tuscarawas County. Mrs. Babcock was born September 1, 1877 at Plainsfield, a daughter of Thomas F. and Elizabeth (Love) Magness. She was first married to Shaffer C. Bassett, who died September 2, 1913, and later to Walker Babcock who died in 1936.

Dean will officiate. Mr. Bassett's death was due to Bright's disease from which he had suffered for several months past. He made a brave struggle but from the time that he was first stricken his life was despaired of and the end seemed inevitable.
Mr. Bassett was in the prime of life, but 42 years of age. He leaves his widow and a little daughter, Lorna, two years of age. A son, Harold died two years ago. Mr. Bassett's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bassett of Plainfield, two sisters, Mrs. Roy Loos of Plainfield, and Mrs. C. O. Leslie of Coshocton, and four brothers, Lewis, Clarence, Dempsey and Charles, all of Coshocton.
The four brothers from this city were summoned to Plainfield on Tuesday morning but arrived just a few minutes after Mr. Bassett's death.
Mr. Bassett was a man who was highly respected in the community. He was an industrious farmer and an honest and upright citizen. He was for many years a faithful member of the Methodist Protestant Church. He was a man whose influence will be missed n the Church and social life of the community.
The Bassett family has been sorely stricken with trouble in the past few months. Mr. Bassett has been seriously ill for some time; a short time ago Mrs. Bassett was seriously injured when her hair became caught in the pulley of a gasoline engine, and Mrs. Magness, Mrs. Bassett's Mother has been ill suffering with a nervous break down. Both Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Magness are better at present.

He was a native of Ireland and was early left an orphan. He came to this country in boyhood and to this city in 1855 where he has followed the carpenter business. His son, Robert was killed a year ago last April by the falling of the wall of the Market Hall building, when it burned, and this has been a terrible grief to him. His health began to fail and for six months past he has been disabled and at the age of 56 has passed away. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter and his son Robert’s widow to mourn his loss. He has been a hard working earnest man faithful to his conviction of duty. The Presbyterian Church was full on Sunday afternoon of those who came to do honor to his memory.”
Dr. Maro Johnson, writing to his son, said of Mr. Love: “As sterling and honest a man as walks”.
Ref: Iowa City Daily Press, Saturday, 11 July 1874 -- Funeral Notice -- The funeral of the late Joseph Love will take place on next Sabbath, 12 July at 3:30 p.m. from the North Presbyterian Church. The public and friends of the family are invited to attend.
Ref: Iowa City Daily Press, Monday, 13 July 1874 -- In Memoriam -- The funeral of the late Joseph Love transpired yesterday from the North Presbyterian Church.
A large number of friends of this estimable gentleman attended the services, which were unusually impressive.
Rev. Mr. Osmond preached a most eloquent sermon from the 14th chapter of St. John, and few eyes were not bedewed with tears when he had concluded.
Mr. Love was one of our best, yet least ostentatious, citizens.
Born in Ireland, he crossed to America some 40 years ago, a youth of eighteen, without a single friend in the New World. In Philadelphia, he learned the carpenter trade which he followed until a quite recent period. He came to this city fifteen years ago and since that time has done much toward improving Iowa City, and gathered around him a host of warm friends.
A through gentleman, a devout christian, a kind father, a loving husband, his name will ever be cherish in our memories.
Ref: Daily Iowa State Press, Monday, April 2, 1900, pg. 5 -- Mrs. Jane Love died at her home on Governor Street yesterday at 3:30 o'clock. She was 74 years of age and the widow of the late Joseph Love. Mrs. Love was a pioneer resident of Johnson County having lived here since 1855.

Ref: Maro Johnson – The father of Ann Love was Joseph, who was born in Ireland June 11, 1818. After the death of their parents, whose given names are not known, Joseph and three older brothers, Alexander, James and William came to this country, having sailed from Londonderry on July 1, 1832, and landed in Philadelphia on August 20.
Prior to this two other Love brothers, uncles of the above young men and probably brothers of their father, had arrived in Coshocton County, Ohio. They were William and Alexander Love, who settled in Linton Township and operated a small distillery on a stream called Bacon Run. (Coshocton Co., OH History)
This William Love was born in 1784. He married Sarah Logan, probably in Ireland. She was born in 1791, and died February 20, 1865. About 1855, they moved to Iowa City, Iowa, with their daughter Annis, who married J. B. Daniels. William Love died August 29, 1856, aged seventy-two years. He and his wife are buried on the Daniels lot in Oakland Cemetery at Iowa City, John Co., IA. The above dates are as shown on their gravestones. In addition to their daughter Annis, born 1825, they had a daughter, Jane, born 1818, who married Benjamin Graham, a son, Hiram, and possibly others. Nothing more is known of Alexander Love of this generation.
On August 24, 1837, with consent of brother William, Joseph Love, aged nineteen, was “apprenticed to John F. McNabb, house carpenter, of Philadelphia, to learn the art, trade and mysteries of a house carpenter and after the manner of an apprentice to serve the said John F. McNabb from the day of the date hereof, for and during the full term of two years from August 24, 1837, next ensuing. During all which time, the said apprentice doth covenant and promise, and is hereby bound that he will serve his master faithfully; keep his secrets, and obey his lawful commands, that he will do him no damage, nor see it done by others, without giving him notice thereof, that he will preserve and not waste his goods, nor lend then unlawfully, that he will not contract matrimony within the said term, that he will not play at cards, dice or any other unlawful game, that he will neither buy nor well, without license from his master, and that he will not absent himself day or night, from his master’s houses; but that in all things he will behave himself as an honest and faithful apprentice ought to do, during the said term.
And the said master, on his part, doth covenant and promise, and is hereby bound to the best of his judgment and opportunities, to act as a parent to the said apprentice in the art or mystery of a house carpenter and that he will procure and provide for him sufficient meat, drink and lodging fitting for an apprentice during the said term; and will give him at the rate of Thirty dollars each and every year payable quarter yearly.”
“Corrections: A master may, by law, correct and chastise is apprentice for neglect or other misbehavior, so that it be done with moderation, but he cannot depute another person to give such correction.” Signed: Joseph Love, William Love & John F. McNabb
“Sealed, delivered and acknowledged before the subscriber, one of the Alderman in and for the City of Philadelphia. John Burns
It is certain that the apprenticeship was completed satisfactorily.
On May 23, 1840, we find Joseph Love at LaSalle, IL, giving p his allegiance to Queen Victoria of Great Britain and declaring his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States. From LaSalle he returned to Coshocton County, OH, probably attracted there by the presence of his uncles and his brothers, James and Alexander, who had come out from Philadelphia. But there was another attraction, for on February 6, 1845, he married Jane Love, eight years his junior, and daughter of John Osborn Love and his wife, Eleanor, who had come over from County Donegal in 1838. During the next ten years, Joseph worked at his trade in Ohio and during that period his four children were born.
In 1855 the family moved to Iowa City, Iowa (then the State Capital), possibly with the idea that there would be more building work in a new community. The children were then nine, seven, five, and three years old. They traveled by steamboat from some river point in Ohio to Muscatine, Iowa, and then by overland stage to Iowa City, about forty miles.
There were two Presbyterian churches in Iowa City at that time, following a cleavage in the national organization in 1837. They were known as the Old School and the New School churches. Mr. Love became a member of the latter and eventually an elder, and was such when the congregation was disbanded in 1870 after the coalition of the two national bodies. He then joined what had been the Old School church, also known locally as the “North Church. Sometime earlier services in the New Church had been abandoned and, with two other trustees, his name was signed to a rental lease dated June 9, 1868, providing for use of the building by the State Historical Society.
Mr. Love established himself as a house carpenter and contractor in Iowa City and continued as such until his last illness. He died July 10, 1874, and is buried in Oakland cemetery at Iowa City with his wife and three sons beside him. A number of houses built by Mr. Love, including his own, still stand in Iowa City in 1953.
Mrs. Love was born in Ireland, February 15, 1826. After the death of her husband, she shared her house with the Johnsons and was a member of the family until her death April 1, 1900.

Osmond, Minister to Guy Johnson b. 14 Feb. 1848, Roscoe, d. 1 Feb. 1916, Iowa City, 1869, Michigan State University Graduate, U of IA graduate, s/o Maro & Eliza (Rue) Johnson.
Ref: State University of Iowa (SUI), Alumni Office wrote that Guy Johnson (no middle name) of Iowa City, IA received an LLB degree in 1875, from SUI after receiving a BS degree in 1869 from Michigan Agricultural College. He died 1 Feb. 1916.
Ref: Maro Johnson – The ancestry of Ann Jane Love, wife of Guy Johnson, is complicated by the fact that the birth name of her father, her mother, her maternal grandfather and her maternal grandmother was Love. Some of their descendants have been of the opinion that they originated in Scotland, and came to Northern Ireland during the great migration in the seventeenth century. At the time they came to America there had been only one intermarriage, so far as now known, among the three families, that of Ann’s maternal grandparents.
It is thought that all were Presbyterians, with one possible exception, which will be mentioned later, and all were residents of County Donegal in extreme northwestern Ireland.
Ref: Maro Johnson – Guy Johnson was born at Roscoe, Coshocton Co., OH, Feb. 14, 1848. His mother died before he was seven and he had little recollection of her. He and his baby sister were cared for in his early youth by a friendly young neighbor and probably by one or both of his grandmothers and by his older sister. There was a canal through the town with an aqueduct and a basin which was a big factor in supplying amusement for boys both summer and winter and also plenty of hills for sledding. In 1866, when he was eighteen, he was sent to the recently opened Agricultural College (now known as Michigan State) at Lansing, MI, where he graduated with the class of 1869. He seems to have gone directly to Pike Co., IL, where he spent the following summer working on his Uncle Roderick’s farm. Some time previously his father and entered or purchased government land in three Iowa counties, a total of about six hundred acres, and guy was sent to Ackley, Iowa to look over this unbroken land with a view to getting it in shape for farming. However, there was not yet a demand for additional land for farming purposes in that section of Iowa and it was several years later before it was gotten ready for farming and began to earn an income. After teaching a country school for two winters, Guy went to Iowa City in 1871 to learn the trade of carpenter with his father’s old Ohio friend, Joseph Love, who had earlier removed to Iowa and become a carpenter contractor. Mr. Love died in 1874 and Guy spent the following year in the University of Iowa Law School, graduating L.L.B. in 1875. Following graduation he resumed his carpenter work until about 1885, after which he gave most of his time to the management of the Iowa farms. In 1876, he married Ann Jane Love. They became the parents of two children. He was a kind and companionable husband and father, always ready with an encouraging word or help. In personal appearance he was about five feet, eight and a half inches tall, a little on the stout side in later years, light complexion with even features and wore a small mustache.
Mrs. Johnson, Ann Love, was born in Roscoe, Ohio, November 14, 1850, and came with her parents to Iowa City in 1855. She attended the public schools and studied for two years in the preparatory department of the State University. She cared for her father in his last long illness and was especially remembered in his will for this service. She was a kind and faithful person, but burdened with illness during her later years. She died Jan. 14, 1913. Mr. Johnson, much broken up by her death, died Feb. 1, 1916. Both are buried in Oakland Cemetery, Iowa City.
Ref: Maro Johnson - From the March 7, 1916 issue of the M.A.C. Record – Dear Editor: A recent issue of the RECORD brings the sad tidings of the passing of Guy Johnson. It is close well nigh to half a century that I am now looking to the day when I first met Mr. Johnson. It was in the early spring of 1868, he being a well –poised junior and the writer highly nervous and fatigued with wrestling with the entrance examinations. “Guy” – we all called him by that short name and there has been no other in my acquaintance, impressed me from that first day when we all met in the Chapel for the first morning prayers of the college year. He was so good-natured and with all so kindly and approachable. Not many days after we met again in the “gymnasium”. This factor in the educational equipment consisted mainly in a pair of swinging rings and Guy was swinging as I had never seen anyone before, now head up and then in a flash tied up like a knot, and with a long swing with head down he left the rings – I thought he was going to his death, when in an instant he had landed safely in a pile or hole of dust, while the many freshman were at first goggle-eyed and then worshipful.
Mr. Johnson impressed me chiefly in two ways, as to his ability as a ball player and the apparent ease with which he could write elegant English. From the present point of view you may wonder that I do not put the talent for composition before that for manly sport.
In those days early in the history of the young college the athletic grounds began anywhere north of Saint’s Rest and was bounded in the opposite directions by the aurora borealis. The home plate, minus the rubber, was near a group of oak trees then recovering from the shock of decapitation and the outfield showed the disturbing effects of a patent stump puller. Guy was the captain of the team, if not the president of the baseball association. The uniform consisted of a red cap with a long visor and a black belt once shiny, upon the outside of which was a white star and B.B.C. The players were all stars. It is not known just where Guy shone the best but his catching was phenomenal, of course, bare-handed – no one wore gloves excepting possibly Professor Cook, and his batting the wonder of the state. It was no ordinary bat that Guy wielded, for with the slow underhanded balls that Dick Haigh delivered one was able to carry much weight against the sphere. It was “old Hickory” that did its share of the work. This was a bat small in girth but great in longitude and had long, long since lost its smoothness, if it ever had any, as it had been weathering under the oak trees for doubtless several years and taken in only at the end of the season.
As I look back there is an inclination to the opinion that the pitcher was in league with Guy when he came up with “Old Hickory.” The left fielder ran back and away went the sphere over his head while the batter ambled around the bases, the little audience under the trees manifesting hearty approval with voice and hands and feet.
But it was in another sphere of college activities that Guy also shone and that led to his holding the library senior detail, the most coveted of them all. The students of the present day do not realize how much of the important work of aid and instruction of the lower classes was detailed to the seniors. Neither do they know experimentally how small the old college was in those early formative years, and the growth that has taken place since, in the library. After placing the county papers in their files upon the great reading tables there were not duties enough to fill the three hours that the library was open to students when they could go and read of the doings at home, etc. There was an assortment of books from Plutarchs’ Lives to the unbound volumes of the Atlantic Monthly and possibly the shelves held some books that recorded the lengthy labors of the Congress and the Department of the State.
Now this all means that Guy had an opportunity to feast upon the best literature for, of course, Shakespeare and Milton and works of that type were at his hands – and he made good use of them. The way we knew this was from observation in the library and by listening in the chapel, for did not each junior and senior compose, commit and proclaim four orations yearly before the whole student body and even the freshmen soon knew that attention to details here would pay in good coin later on in the course.
It was at those public rhetorical that Guy added many laurels to his fame as a beautiful writer. There were better speakers, for he felt more at home near the plate “receiving” for Dick or Fred or throwing a liner to second, but he was also the admiration of all for his fine flow of English.
It was not unnatural that he became a lawyer and it is safe to write that he made a hit with each of his charmingly prepared briefs. How many will think of him as a genial friend and feel a loss that lasts. Bryon D. Halstad, ’76, New Brunswick, NJ, 1 Mar. 1916.

Ref: Ltr. from Jane T. Irish who was a sister of Gilbert Irish, Editor of the Iowa City Press. Gilbert moved to Oakland, CA in 1882 and continued in newspaper work on the San Francisco Call and the Daily Alta California. Later he was U. S. Ambassador to Port of San Salvador. Jane writes that Maro Johnson was a graduate of State University of Iowa. He died in Chicago, I believe in March last (1962). Had lived in the South, FL and VA for many years. Left, I believe a son and daughter. He visited here, (about 3 years ago), an old friend of mine, who was his school mate in early days. He wanted her to go back South with him, but she would not do so as she had passed the 80th milestone. I really think she had regrets later for she became very melancholy and eventually lost her mind and soon passed away in a nursing home. She had been married to an SUI graduate, a druggist, who was a widower. They married after 65 yrs. of age. After three years, he died suddenly of a heart attack and she returned to Iowa City to care for an ailing older sister. Strange what fate hands out along life's pathway, isn't it?"
Ref: Maro Johnson – Maro Johnson was born at Iowa City, IA, Nov. 27, 1877. He was educated in the public schools in that county seat town, in which the population during his youth was a little over 7000. The family consisted of his parents, his sister, and his grandmother, Jane Love, widow of Joseph. On completion of his high school course in 1894, he entered the Engineering Department of the State University at Iowa City. This was a small school at the time, having in 1894 but two instructors who devoted their full time to engineering subjects and about twenty-five students. He was the only civil engineering graduate in June 1898. During the two previous summers he had assisted the City Engineer, Mr. Charles S. Magowan, who was also the Assistant Professor in the College, and continued to do so for a few months following his graduation – salary twenty cents per hour worked. As an instructorship which had been promised him was not authorized, he secured employment in October 1898 with the Illinois Central Railroad Company as a masonry inspector at Chebanse and Gilman, Illinois, and with the exception of three months in 1899 continued with that company until his retirement Nov. 30, 1947, having been successively Rodman, Instrument man,
Assistant Engineer, Resident Engineer, Assistant Engineer of Bridges, Engineer of Bridges ad Buildings, Resident Engineer, Assistant Engineer and Principal Assistant Engineer. With the exception of about two years in Indianapolis, practically all of this time was spent in Chicago, interspersed with frequent road trips and with temporary assignments on line during earlier years.
Mr. Johnson is a life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Railway Engineering Association, the American Railway Bridge and Building Association, the Western Society of Engineers, and the Society of the Sigma.
On September 19, 1905, while living in Indianapolis, Maro Johnson married Helen L. Schneider of Defiance, Ohio. She was born in Defiance in 1881 but at the time of her marriage was employed in Chicago as an accountant and bookkeeper. After the death of her mother in 1884, she had her five year old sister came under the care of their grandmother Seibert, who managed the Schneider household until their father’s second marriage in 1889. The following year the family moved to Toledo, Ohio. While there the two girls attended a convent school, but entered the public schools upon the return of the family to Defiance in 1894. Helen graduated from high school in 1898 and after a summer normal course taught country schools for three years. Then followed a business course at Lafayette, Indiana, and entrance to the business world in Chicago early in 1903.
While M/M Johnson began their married life in Indianapolis they returned to Chicago in late 1906, the Indianapolis work having been completed, and that was their home until Mr. Johnson’s retirement in 1947, when they went to Hammond, Louisiana, for the benefit of Mrs. Johnson’s health. The milder climate was helpful for a time, but could not cure, and she died after long suffering July 19, 1952, and is buried at Iowa City, Iowa.
She was a beautiful woman both in person and in character.

A Reference
Ref: The story of the Love and McKee Families probably in Scotland. After many years of rebellion in Ireland, the English courts declared a large part of the lands of Ulster in Ireland be forfeited to the Crown. The English Government then granted the area out in separate tracts to proprietors, who would agree to bring in settlers from England and Scotland. In the next few years some 20,000 of these colonists came to Ireland. They were mostly from the lowlands of Scotland and deeply attached to Presbyterianism. Most were farmers or weavers, but several towns were founded. This colonization of Northern Ireland is usually known as the "The Plantation of Ulster". The Love Family probably dates back to this era.
However, the Love Family in 1819 were living in Molinmore Parish, County Down, Ireland, fairly close to Londonderry in the northern part of Ireland. Samuel Love and his wife, Susan Kirskadden were both born and died in Ireland. They had two sons: James and Patrick, both born in Ireland. Patrick, the younger son, had four children, Mason, David, Susan and Alice. Patrick Love and family came to America in the early 1800's locating on farms between Millerburg and Bloomfield (now Clark Co., OH). This community was called Dority Foxhs. Very little is known about this branch of the family.
James Love, the older son of Samuel and Susan (Kirkskadden) Love, was married to Jennie McKee and had seven children. This family, the parents and seven children all came to America in three different groups: 1819, 1826 and 1838. (Sprague Genealogy pg. 157 - 167).
Ref: (Sprague Genealogy) In 1826, the parents of Samuel Love, came to America with four of their children and lived on the Love Farm in Ohio. We are not sure when sister, Annie (Love) Cochran and her husband, George came to America. Annie and George came first to Ohio and later moved to Iowa, near Iowa City - no further details on this family.
Ref: Maro Johnson – The next representative of the Loves to come from Ireland were members of the family of Eleanor Love, maternal grandmother of Ann (Love) Johnson. The first to arrive was Samuel, Eleanor’s brother, son of James and Jennie (Kirskadden) Love, said to have been married in Scotland, and Robert and Fannie (McKee) McKee.
The boy Samuel, with the consent of his parents, sailed from Queenstown in May or June 1819 in company with two other young men and after a rough voyage landed at Pier #4 in New York City, on July 4th. Soon the group went to Philadelphia and from there walked to Pittsburgh and McKeesport, PA, where there were one or more McKey families. Samuel continued on the Coshocton Co., OH, and in a few years was able to buy a farm east of the village of Keene. In 1826, he wrote his parents that he had a home for them and requested them to come to Ohio, which they did following disposal of their livestock and other effects and bringing their family, except Eleanor.

Ref: Samuel Love, the oldest child in the family with two other young men, not relatives, came to America in 1819 as the first member of the James Love Family. The idea that he was to find a suitable home and the other members of his family would follow. He came over on a freighter, not a very stable ship, that carried no insurance, but the fare was enticing. The three boys arrived in New York July 4, Pier #4 at 2 p.m. in 1819. (James Love of Urbana (son of Samuel Love) and daughter, Myra, went to New York in 1919 to be at Pier #4 at 2 p.m. on July 4th in memory of his Father, Samuel.) To save money they walked to Philadelphia and most of the way west across Pennsylvania to McKeesport, PA. McKeesport had been settled by the Scotch from Ireland and, as such, was known to the Love Family. It is not sure how long he stayed in Pennsylvania, where he taught school in the winter and worked on the canals in the summer. Later he migrated to Coshocton County, bought a farm about two miles south of Keene and four miles north of Coshocton. Here he lived and worked until 1826 when he wrote his family to sell their property and cattle in Ireland and come to America as he had a home ready for them. Eleanor, his sister, had already had one small child. Annie had married when quite young, George Cochran, and it is not clear just when they came to America. So the family at home in Ireland in 1826 to come to America consisted of the parents, James and wife, Jennie McKee, John b. 1806, Thomas b. 1910, Fannie b. 1812, and Alice b. 1815 (1850 census).
John, a young man about 20 years old, was most enthused over leaving for America and was entrusted with disposal of the family property. He took a herd of cattle to a market south of their home. In the course of completing the sale, a Bible was needed to complete the contract. They finally located a family that had a Bible and on leaving John explained that his family was going to America. The Mother, Mrs. McKee, immediately stated that her son was in America and as soon as John arrived to please tell her son, Andrew, about his family and tell him to write. John tried to explain that America was a large country band that they would probably never meet. But they did later meet in Coshocton County and this Andrew McKee married John’s sister, Fannie Love.
Andrew McKee, who Fannie married, was born in 1802 (1850 census) lived south of the Love Family near Londonderry in Ulster County. He came to America at an early age – at least before 1826. While in Ireland he followed the trade of weaver. Although he was a farmer in Ohio, locating near Plainfield, south of Coshocton, he still wove wool blankets and colored coverlets. (Three are still in the family. He had a brother, James McKee, born in Ireland, Ulster County in 1817, died in Coshocton County 1843. Never married. Buried in M.E. Cemetery in Keene, OH. Charles McKee, another brother, first lived, on coming to America, in Ohio and later moved to Iowa. Married late in life and had no children.
Eleanor McKee, a sister of Andrew McKee, born in Ulster County, Ireland in 1794, married in Ireland, Andrew Lockhard, born in 1792. During the 1830’s they came to America. They had no children. They were nine weeks on the ocean with very turbulent weather all the journey. They settled on a farm near Keene, taking up land from the government.
Andrew McKee, born 1802 in Ireland and Fannie Love, who came to Ohio with her family in 1826, were married Dec. 5, 1837, and moved to a farm near Plainfield, Ohio.
Ref: (Sprague Family) Samuel first came to America on 4 July 1819 and established a home for his parents and the rest of the family. Samuel did not marry until 12 Dec. 1839, when he married Deborah Mitchell, born 17 Jan. 1810 in Maryland. It seems that all the family from Ireland were now established in America, with a new life ahead for them and, at long last, it was Samuel's turn to start his own life.

Samuel came to America in 1819 at the age of 22, settling in Pennsylvania for three years when he removed to Muskingum Co., OH. He married in Coshocton Co., OH in Dec. 1839 to Deborah Mitchell. While in Coshocton Co., OH, Samuel was engaged in Milling and distilling. In 1852, Samuel moved to Sidney Twp., Champaign Co., IL, purchasing land between Philo and Sidney, IL, close to Champaign. He died 17 Jan. 1873 at the age of 77 yrs. and his wife, Deborah (Mitchell) Love d. 28 Feb. 1893, both in Champaign Co., IL. They had six sons and 1 daughter of whom all except one son is living.

First - I direct that my body to be buried at such place and that such monuments be erected over my remains as my wife and family may decide.”
Samuel left all real estate to four sons, John M. Love, James Love, Joseph Love and Samuel Sharon Love and a like amount of money to Elizabeth Love, his daughter, in addition to four thousand dollars to be paid to her by the brothers. The copy of the will is very difficult to read.

Samuel Love and family moved to Champaign Co., IL in 1852, purchasing farmland between Philo and Sidney, IL, close to Champaign. This is the Love Family best known to the Bement descendants of Maro Sprague and his wife, Elizabeth McKee, whose Mother was Fannie Love, a sister of Samuel Love.

Ref: Excerpt from Hill’s History of Coshocton Co., OH, pg. 270, 971 - Next to water the drink of the pioneers was whisky - copper-still rye whisky. Everybody drank it. It was supposed to be indispensable to health, to strength and endurance during labors of the day, and to sleep at night. It was supposed to be absolutely indispensable to warmth and animation in cold, chilly winter. It was the sacrament of friendship and hospitality, it was in universal use, yet there was probably less drunkenness in those days than at present. The whisky was absolutely pure, it was not drugged, doctored and poisoned as it is today, and although enough of it would bring drunkenness, it did not bring the d.t.’s or leave the system prostrated and the victim with a headache on “sobering up”. It was the first thing in demand as an article of commerce. Stills for its manufacture sprang up everywhere, all along the streams. Pioneers soon found a market at these stills for their corn, hence corn became the great crop, and whisky the great article of commerce. It was the only thing that would bring money and money they must have to pay taxes. Whisky could be purchased for 12 or 15 cents a gallon and paid for in corn, and the barrel of whisky in the cellar was as common as the barrel of cider was later. The whisky that was not consumed at home was shipped on flat boats on the Muskingum, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans and sold for Spanish gold. One of the first rebellions against the government of the U. S. was commonly called the “whisky insurrection”, had its growth out of the hardships of the Scotch-Irish of Western Pennsylvania who in the northern country had learned to love whisky and hate gougers; and this population gave tone and character to the first settlers of East Ohio. There was this apology for the production of whisky, that it was the only means of disposing of the surplus crops, and bringing money into the county.
Wm. Renfrew & Robert Hay commenced operation on this line in 1831-2 in Upper Roscoe. The firm afterward became Love & Hay (Samuel Love afterwards removed to Champaign County, IL, being in first, and afterward his brother, Thomas Love). Subsequently, the distillery in Roscoe having burned, they came over to the old flouring mill at corner of Main & 2nd Streets in Coshocton, and there continued for many years. In 1863, Thomas Love & Co. sold 1000 barrels of their whisky to parties who immediately shipped it to California and brought back as their return cargo, 30,000 barrels of flour. The very heavy capital involved and to some extent imperiled in the seasons of highest prices for corn, and especially the difficulties of competing with less honest distillers, who would run “crooked” whisky, and the ample returns already secured, led to the giving up of the business. There is at this writing (1876) no recognized still in the county, and no whisky has been made in the county for some ten years.

Ref: The News-Gazette, Champaign-Urbana, IL, Friday, July 22, 1949, pg. 1 - John Love First ‘49 Fatality; 2 New Cases - Outbreak Not Epidemic Extent But Health Officials Urge All To Be Alert - Poliomyelitis struck a death blow at the Champaign-Urbana area Thursday night and added two more patients to the growing list of infantile paralysis victims in this section of east central Illinois.
John Love, 19 year old Sidney-Philo farm youth, died of polio at 9:30 p.m. Thursday in St. John’s hospital, Springfield, where he was taken Wednesday afternoon from Burnham City hospital.
The death occurred about the same time the dread disease was being diagnosed in two new cases here -- the eighth and ninth polio victims reported within the past week.
The new victims are Joan Well, 20, a University of Illinois coed from Streator, and Robert Ragel, 2, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ragel, 303 West Bradley avenue.
Young Love, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Love of Sidney, had been ill since Monday. He was taken to Burnham City hospital Tuesday afternoon, and the polio diagnosis was made Wednesday morning.
The youth then was taken to St. John’s hospital, Springfield, with a paralysis which affected his left arm and throat, leaving him unable to swallow. Physicians reported Thursday morning that he was “very sick”.
Shocked by the news of the polio death and the report of two more cases, Champaign-Urbana went to work Friday to steel itself against the possibilities of a polio epidemic.
Burnham city hospital announced that it would open a polio ward Friday afternoon, and the Red Cross began compiling a list of county nurses who could be called in an emergency.
Funeral services for Love will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday on the lawn of the Love home between Sidney and Philo. In case of inclement weather, the services will be in the Presbyterian church at Philo.
Reverend Manley Mace, pastor of the Philo Presbyterian church, will officiate, and burial will be in Locust Grove cemetery, Philo. The body will be at the Freese funeral home, St. Joseph, until it is taken to the Love residence Sunday morning.
Love’s death is the first polio fatality in east central Illinois since July 27, 1948 when Durward J. Gwin, 26 year old Armstrong Navy Veteran, died in Lake View hospital at Danville.
Doctor S. N. Mallison, supervisor of Illinois public health district six, explained Friday that the fatality rate of polio is higher among young adults than among infants and children. He said it is less prevalent among older persons, however. {Included in the article was a picture of John Love, a very handsome, young man.

A carbuncle on the neck was the cause of Mr. Love’s death and he had been ill but a short time.
Up to two years ago, Mr. Love was one of the most extensive farmers in Philo township, and he disposed of his farm, going to Decatur where he engaged in the manufacture of trunks and mattresses, meeting with success. He was a brother of President Love, of the Champaign County Farmers’ institute, and had many acquaintances in Champaign.
He leaves a wife and two grown daughters and three or four brothers and sisters.

Love, who died at her home in Decatur on Sunday evening, is expected to arrive in Philo at noon Wednesday. The funeral services will be held at 12:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the First Presbyterian Church in Philo. The Rev. Robert Scott, pastor of the church, will assist in conducting the services. The interment will be made in the Locust Grove Cemetery.
Ref: Past and Present of Macon Co., IL, pg. 354 - 55 - Joseph Love, who in 1893 became a resident of Decatur where he was engaged in the manufacture of mattresses, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, on the 7th of April, 1847, his parents being Samuel and Deborah (Mitchell) Love, both of whom were natives of the Buckeye state. Samuel Love came west with his family in an early day and established his home in Champaign county, Illinois, where he purchased a section of land from the government, for which he paid two dollars and a half per acre. Not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made upon the tract but with characteristic energy he began to clear it and to plow and plant it. He also erected good buildings and in course of time developed an excellent farm which he continued to cultivate and which he made his home until his death. His wife also passed away on the old homestead in Champaign county and some of their children now reside upon the same farm there.
Excellent educational privileges were afforded to Joseph Love. He pursued his early studies in the district schools and later became a student in the Champaign University, in fact, he was one of its first pupils and the thorough training which he there received well prepared him for life's practical and responsible duties. On putting aside his text books he began farming near the old homestead in Champaign county and while thus engaged he returned to Ohio in 1875 and was there married to Miss Eliza J. Hanlon, a native of Jefferson county, Ohio, born in 1849. Her parents were William and Mary (Stark) Hanlon, and her father, who was a farmer by occupation, spent his entire life in Jefferson county. His widow still resides there and has reached the advanced age of eighty-two years. Five children were born unto Mr. and Mrs. Love; Nellie H., who is now a teacher in the Sangamon street school in Decatur; Mary, who occupies a position as private secretary in the Boys' School in Lake Forest, Illinois; Louella, who is a stenographer and teacher in Brown's Business College of Decatur; Florence, who is at home with her mother; and one that died in infancy.
After his marriage, Mr. Love engaged in general farming in Champaign county until 1893, when he came to Decatur and established a mattress factory near the home which is now occupied by his widow. In the new enterprise he prospered and continued in the business up to the time of his death. He did excellent work and secured a liberal patronage, his products finding a ready sale on the market. In business affairs he was strictly reliable and he became a well known and respected representative of trade interests in this city. He was energetic, a man of firm purpose and strong will and in all his dealings with his fellow men he was upright and honorable. In his political views he was an earnest Republican, believing firmly in the party and its principles yet never seeking office. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church of Decatur and his life was in harmony with its teachings. He died January 18, 1898, leaving not only a comfortable competence to his widow but also an honorable name. Mrs. Love now occupies a beautiful home at No. 812 North College street, where she resides with her daughters. They are well known in Decatur and enjoy the favor and friendship of many a household here.

Ref: Extracted obit - b. 16 May 1878, Philo, IL, d/o Joseph K. & Eliza Jane (Hanlon) Love.
She was a prominent educator, business woman, Red Cross Officer, 25 year Red Cross Member. Her activities were so numerous -- She probably was the confidante & advisor of more people than any other individual in Decatur.
She placed many people in jobs, not only through her yrs. with the business college personal office and Red Cross but outside these organizations as well.
She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Luella Gulick, Decatur and Mrs. Florence Bedell of St. Paul, MN. {From Decatur Herald Newspaper}
Ref: Mary operated Brown's Business College, Decatur, IL for many years. She was considered a very unusual, efficient and intelligent person. The City of Decatur honored her with an award as Decatur's outstanding and most valued citizen.
Ref: 16 Feb. 1962, Decatur, IL - Mary Love Retiring by Cynthia M. McCormick of the Review Staff - Mary V. Love has sold her Personal Placement Bureau after operating it for 23 years.
Thousands of people in the Decatur area have found professional and semiprofessional jobs through the service Miss Love started in 1928 after she was an instructor at Brown's Business College for 22 years.
Edgar G. Lillpop, a student minister at Findlay and St. Mary's Methodist churches, has purchased the business, located in seven rooms at the Standard Office Building.
Lillpop plans to expand the service to include placement of technically trained persons like engineers, persons interested in administrative work and some domestic help.
In recent years, Miss Love has managed the service from her home at 339 West North Street since arthritis keeps her from getting out much.
She will be 84 in May and says she thinks it's about time she retired from business and got some rest.
As long-time residents of Decatur will tell you, however, Miss Love has never been known for inactivity.
"She is a Doer" a newspaper story said in its headline in 1924. And that was before she opened her placement service and before she became executive secretary of the Macon County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
To many Decatur folks, Miss Love personified the Red Cross theme, "the greatest Mother of them all," during the 25 years she headed the organization here.
She joined the Red Cross board a few months after it was organized in 1916 and became executive secretary in 1932.
From then until her retirement at the end of World War 11, she worked long days at the Red Cross office and at night from her home while peacetime activities like disaster relief expanded to aiding service families and refugees here and abroad, sponsoring blood banks, nurses aides, home nursing and first aid.
During her years with the Red Cross, Miss Love served the placement bureau chiefly in an advisory capacity while a manager and one or two other staff workers carried on the daily business.
Mrs. Nellie L. Ray, 65, has managed the office for the past seven years but she plans to retire about the first of March.
Lillpop will be the active manager and his wife, a general secretary and stenotype operator, will assist in the office.
The couple will move to Decatur in June.
Lillpop, a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University at Bloomington, has been in the ministry five years.
Miss Love says she plans to continue living in Decatur.
"I've been here since about 1900 and I'm not going to move now! Besides Decatur is the best town to live and do business in!" she explained.
She is a native of Champaign County and began her business career as a secretary at Lake Forest College and later worked in the office of the Detroit University Preparatory School.
At Brown's, she became vice principal and head of the shorthand department.
Active in many community organizations, she organized the Business and Professional Women's Club in 1922 and served as its first president.
She has also been active in the YWCA and in the Red Cross work and the Business and Professional Women's group on the state level.
She is a charter member of the BW chapter of the PEO and the Decatur chapter of Zonta International. She has been president of Zonta and the Social Service Club.
In 1934, she was appointed a Civil Works Service administrator for Macon County.

Ref: 8 Feb. 1934 - S. S. Love Dies Sunday Evening - The death of S. S. Love which occurred at his home about 3 miles southwest of Sidney Sunday evening at 7:30 o’clock, came as a surprise to most of our citizens, as few had known of his illness, which was of a week’s duration.
Mr. Love was a man of high character, well liked and respected by all who knew him. He was a friend to everyone and was ever willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a man of few words and many of his acts of kindness were known only to his intimate friends.
He was born at Coshocton, Ohio on Oct. 1, 1851, being a son of Samuel and Deborah Love and came to Sidney township with his parents when one year old, and had lived in his present home for 81 years. He was the last of a family of six children. He had never married.
He is survived by the following nieces and nephews: Mrs. Mont Gabbert, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Bernard Gulick and Mary Love, Decatur; Mrs. Francis Jordan, Savoy; Miss Florence Love, Firebaugh, SD; Howard of Philo and Clifford of Havana.
Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon with Rev. H. E. Andrews, pastor of the Philo Presbyterian church officiating, assisted by Rev. H. G. Gieiser, pastor of the Sidney Presbyterian church. Interment was in Locust Grove cemetery.

Ref: Thomas R. Love – Came to America and settled in Coshocton Co., OH. He served in the U.S. Army during the Civil War. (Communicated Feb. 18, 1899). “In the years of 1852 and 1853, there was a class of 8 boys, of 15 and 16 years of age, attended school in the old log school house in the McClure district, in the north-east corner of Bethlehem Township, Coshocton Co., OH. They were John M. Finlay, Robert Doak, James Stewart, James Mulford, Merril Corwee, Emanuel Spangler, Thomas Love and Isaac Stafford. John M. Finlay was the only one of the class who did not see service in the U.S. Army during the Civil War. Thomas Love died last week at his home in Defiance, Ohio. Isaac Stafford alone remaining of that class”…
Let me say a few words about Mr. Love. Columns have been written and eulogies pronounced on many of the soldiers that were not equal. Born absolutely with out fear, he was one of the bravest soldiers that ever wore a blouse. I saw him in August, 1864 on picket line, when some of the men had been stampeded, take those men back on the line as fearlessly as though he was in no danger and the men following him as the weak always follow the strong command. Mr. Love was 63 years old last July. “The female members of that class were Emily Spangler, now Mrs. T. H. Elliott, of Coshocton, OH, Mary Spangler, now Mrs. J. E. Ling Elliott, IA, Susan Love, now Mrs. Andrew Karr, Keene, OH, Nancy Stewart, now Mrs. Nancy McGee, Keene, OH, Ann Jane Finaly, now Mrs. Joseph J. Finaly, Harding Co., OH, and Ruth Spangler who died of measles. Only one of the girls is gone and only one of the boys is living (signed) Isaac Stafford.”
“Recorders Office in the Defiance Co., OH Court House.” A record states, on the 23rd of March 1882, that Thomas Love from Coshocton, OH, bought 80 acres of land from Emma & Abraham McKinsey at the sum of “Twenty six hundred and fifty dollars” situated in the county of Defiance, in the State of Ohio, and in the township of Defiance, and bounded and described as follows:… Being the South East quarter of the South East quarter of Section No. (14), Township No (3), North of range No. (4) East. The above described premises containing in all 80 acres of land. Exception one half acre off the North West corner – there of literally deeded for school. It was known as “Love School”.
Ref: This would be the Love School House – East across what is known as State Route 66, from the now, Love Homestead.
In the spring of the year 1996 the old homestead house burnt down completely. There has been a new house erected in it’s placed. Finished in 1997. A photo of Thomas R. & Mary Jane (Endsley) Love and family is in the possession of a granddaughter Wilma (Love) Sponsler from Defiance, OH.

Ref: Aunt Anna Elizabeth “Lizzy” Karr – Father (Andrew Karr) and Uncle Tom went with the 100 day men to the Civil War. That was before Uncle Tom was married. Mother and her two children (Mary and Jim) went to her Father’s after she got things taken care of at home, like shearing sheep, selling wool and things. Grandfather helped her as much as he could. His horse knew the the way and always got him there and back safe. Clem was born at Grandfather’s before Father came home from the war.
Sam Crawford told me one time, most all in their community were neighbors or close friends in Ireland. After coming over, some would write back to a friend or relative to come. That is why they were located near each other. I have forgotten who it was, someone with a family of small children, thought they were going to Louisville, KY, but someone at Pier knew who they were going to and told them they had located in Canal Louisville, OH. So they found their friends near Louisville looking for them.
The (the Loves) seemed to be a happy, carefree, go-lucky family. Mother told many funny, interesting stories of her girlhood days. She attended the McClure schools. On the road there, they had to cosss a stream of water, “Bucklew Run” on a foot log when the stream was high.
A boy in the neighborhood always wanted to help “Susie” across that log, and she didn’t want Ike to help her. How she would plan to avoid him. One day she rean all the way to get across before he got there, but faithful Isaac was there when she arrived, waiting.
She and her girl chums like to stay all night in each other’s houses. One night she and a girl thought they would try their futures with the new moon. They said – New moon, true moon, will you tell unto me, who my true love is going to be – and so on. They went to bed and Mother dreamed about a young man she did not know. A few days later, Robert Karr and his son, Andy, went down to John Love’s on horseback to buy sheep. When Mother saw Andy get off his horse, she knew he was the one, she saw in her dreams – her “True Love”. They were married on 26 Apr. 1852 at her home.
They went into housekeeping on one of Grandfather Karr’s farms on Bucklew Run in Bethlehem Twp. Seven children were born to this union; Mary Jane, James Love, Clemenza Ellen, Eva, Andrew Walter, Anna Elizabeth and Lucy Osborn. All (except Clem) who was born at Grandfather Love’s before Father came back from the Civil War) were born in the old house of 4 rooms.
In 1878, Father built a new house in the same yard, where they lived until April 1904 when they moved to 621 Elm St., Coshocton and on 2 Nov. 1914 to 634 Locust St. where they lived until the passed.
Ref: I think that you have a pictures of Father and Mother sitting on the ground where the old house stood that they were married in on Bucklew Run. It was on this road Jim and Walter (who was six years old) was hauling sand for the new house when the horses ran off. The boys fell out of the wagon, the empty wagon ran over Walter breaking his collarbone. Jim was not hurt.
I only remember two things about Grandfather and Grandmother. “T’ was on Sunday, seeing them drive up the road just after Father had given Walter, Lucy and I a whipping with a switch off the Lilac bush, for quarreling over a swing.” Again, Grandfather with his cane, sitting in his chair on their long porch, teach me to sing”
O’ said the Owl, I wish ‘twas night
That I might fly to my hears delight!
The very best court, I ever did see,
Was court all night, and sleep the next day.
Who their will my true love be
Come and sit by the side of me.
Give her a kiss and let her go
Don’t keep her up till the roosters crow.
Mother used to sing “Nellie Bly.” I’ve forgotten it.

James was raised by John Osborn & Eleanor (Love) Love, sister of Fannie. Eleanor Lockhard died 12 Feb. 1863, and Andrew Lockhard died 8 Dec. 1868, both are buried in the M.E. Cemetery, Keene, OH.
Ref: Maro Johnson – The story is told that when Fannie’s father, James, and her brother, John “Yankee” Love went to Ireland to sell their cattle before leaving for America they met a Mrs. McKee who loaned them a Bible on which to take an oath, presumable to support proof of ownership of the cattle, and also gave them messages to her son, Andrew, already across. Andrew was located by Yankee John and about 1836 married Fannie. She died about 1844, leaving a young baby, who was then taken by her sister, Eleanor, but died in 1853, aged about nine years, and is buried in the Presbyterian cemetery at Keene Village; he was called Sonny McKee.

He had been a soldier and was buried by Workman Post, of the Grand Army, services at the late residence having been held by Rev. Mr. Stahl and Rev. Mr. Allar.
Mr. McKee was 64 years old and was one of this section’s best citizens. He was the son of Andrew & Fannie McKee, born and reared on the farm where he died. In 1870, he was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca J. Fowler, d/o the late William & Elizabeth (Platt) Fowler, of Bacon. Before marriage, Mrs. McKee was a loved and successful school mistress. She was the Mother of three children, only one of whom, Charles, survives his Father.
An affection of the eyes has made Mrs. McKee almost blind. She could not look upon the face of her dead husband but asked to be permitted to touch his hands and place her cheek against his cold and lifeless face as he lay in the casket, kissing him on the forehead and bidding him a long farewell. The scene was pathetic in the extreme. A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral.

Ref: Experts from a letter of Lucie Sprague Dyarman to Wilma Compton, dtd. 8 Feb. 1932.
"The first I knew anything about my family was while we were at Uncle John Love's in 1880. He and I sat together on that high front porch, and he told me about some of the early history.
"He said the Loves and McKees both moved from Scotland when the Catholics drove the Protestants out, and they settled in Co. Ulster, Ireland. Uncle John said they lived north of the place where the McKee family located. You know that at the first of 1800 so many came to America from both Ireland and Scotland, and they were the workmen who dug the canals and later made the bed for the railroads. We owe much to those immigrants and the way they handled the shovel and pick.
"In the year 1819?, our great grandfather (James Love, md. Jane McKee) let his son, Samuel (Samuel Love md. to Deborah Mitchell) come to America. There were two other boys that came with him to America. The three boys went to Queenstown to find a ship. They found a ship loaded with wheat, but it was old and the Insurance Company would not insure it. The boys took passage because it was cheap. They had a long, rough voyage, but they landed at Pier #4, New York City, at 2: p.m. on 4 July 1819?. The ship reloaded and started back but was never heard from.
"The three boys went to Philadelphia, and after staying there awhile, they started for Pittsburgh on foot. There were McKees in McKeesport and Uncle Sam stayed there awhile and then went on into Ohio. He located in Coshocton County. He bought the land where Uncle John later lived and died. In 1826, Uncle Sam wrote to his father to come as he had a home for them. Our great grandfather and mother got ready to come. They had some cattle to sell and Uncle John took them to a place south of Miller and where the McKees lived. They had to use a Bible to make the sale correct and safe, and it was hard to find a Bible, because all of the people were Catholics. At last a Protestant family was found. Uncle John was so happy about coming to America that he had to tell the family all about it. The woman at the house was delighted, and she told Uncle John that she had a boy in America, and gave him messages for that boy. She felt sure he would find him. Uncle John did find her son, Andrew McKee who later married Fannie Love. (Mrs. Dyarmen's grandparents) (Fannie Love was Uncle John's sister). (Two other sisters, Ann and Eleanor, came over later. Ann married George Cochran, and Eleanor married John Osborn Love -- "Duncan John")
"Our great grandfather and great grandmother Love (James and Jane (McKee) lived, died, and were buried on Uncle John's farm. He built a log cabin up in the orchard, and there Eleanor and "Uncle Duncan" moved in when they arrived. Only six weeks thereafter their little girl was born. (Susan, later married to Andrew Karr) They came in the winter of 1836/37 and Susan was born in March, 1837. Their other children were Tom, Jane, and Ann. (also James?) How much they did endure!
(At this point, Mrs. Dyarman wrote of finding a family in Urbana, Illinois who had in their possession a letter dated in 1819, one sentence of which ran as follows: "Did you know that young Samuel Love, our second cousin, and two other boys have gone to America." This would seem to indicate that the Urbana family was related.)
"Fannie Love married Andrew McKee. Their oldest child, Samuel McKee was born Dec. 14, 1838. He served as a private during the Civil War. On October 26, 1870 he was married to Rebecca Fowler of Linton Township, Coshocton County, Ohio. He died in April, 1902 and she died in 1903. They were both buried in the Plainfield (Ohio) cemetery. Their children were: Lizzie, born June 29, 1873, died September 16, 1895, and Charles, who lives in Warsaw, Ohio.
Fannie Love, who married Andrew McKee, had three children, Samuel, Lizzie, and James. When James was born, on November 26, 1842, his mother, Fannie Love McKee died. She was buried in the little graveyard on Uncle John Love's farm. Before Uncle John died he had his neighbors remove the remains of the members of their families from this graveyard, and he had the remains of his father, him mother, his sister, Fannie (McKee), and his own oldest son (James) removed to the Presbyterian cemetery in Keene. James McKee, (son of Fannie and Andrew) was reared by his aunt Eleanor (Love) Love. He died September 18, 1853, and is buried in the Methodist cemetery in Keene.
Elizabeth or Lizzie McKee, the second child of Fannie Love and Andrew McKee, was born September 19, 1840 and died January 13, 1871 at Keene. She was married April 26, 1860 to Maro M. Sprague. (Buried in Methodist cemetery in Keene.) Maro M. Sprague was born in Keene December 21, 1837, and died September 3, 1912. (Buried in Bement, Illinois) Their children were: Nellie Fie, born Feb. 11, 1861; Lucie Ann, born May 29, 1863; Lizzie McKee, born January 7, 1871.
Nellie Fie Sprague married Jesse Smith in May 1881, died November 1, 1890. Their children: Blanche Ellen, Shaffer Marquiss, and Russel.
Lucie Ann Bradley Sprague married Byron E. Dyarman on February 19, 1889. Their children: Helen Mable, Margaret Louise, Carrie Nell.
Helen Mable was born Dec. 23, 1889 and married Earl Totten on 26 April 1910. Their children: Allen Manning b. May 17, 1914, d. June 12, 1914; Guy Earl, b. Dec. 31, 1915; Mary Hillis, b. July 20, 1917; Frances Shirley, b. April 28, 1925, d. August 22, 1925.
Margaret Louise was born March 16, 1898, married to Clyde Baker on Feb. 27, ????.
Carrie Nell was born October 5, 1901. Teacher, Illinois Woman's College, Jacksonville A. B. University of Illinois A.M.
"Your grandma Love had a small boy, James that died when he was young and he is laid in the lot with my mother." Would this be James the son of Wilma Compton's ??? parents, Eleanor and John Osborn (Duncan) Love?) He was twenty years old and is buried in the lot with his own parents in the Methodist cemetery in Keene.

Ref: Decatur Review, Decatur, IL, 18 Sep. 1925 - Bement, Sep. 18 – On his return from school Wednesday afternoon Guy, the nine-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Totten who live a short distance east of the Bement cemetery rode his pony to the cemetery. When near the house occupied by Otis Biesecker, the are taker, the boy fell or was thrown from his pony; his left elbow was dislocated and the arm broken two inches below the elbow.
Mr. Biesecker saw the accident and when he reached the boy, seized the arm and pulled the elbow into place with an accuracy that entitles him to at least, honorable mention among amateur surgeons.
Mrs. Totten was at the home of her sister, Mrs. Clyde Baker and Mrs. Biesecker used hot applications to keep down inflammation until medical aid could reach them.
Mr. Totten was helping his father-in-law, B. E. Byarman at the latter’s farm northwest of town.
Grandfather Next
But there were other happenings. Mr. Dyarman, the little boy’s grandfather, hauling tile to his farm from the factory of James Fairbanks had occasion to crank his Ford and in so doing his right arm was broken in the joint at the wrist.
While Drs. McPherson and Turley were x-raying Mr. Dyarman’s arm they were called to set the break in Guy Totten’s arm. Both fractures were reduced and both patients are comfortable.
Can Still Sign
The fact that Mr. Dyarman is left handed lends a silver lining to the cloud – brought on by the cranked and cranky Ford, as he can still sign checks for school and township orders.
Mr. Dyarman is a member of the board of education of the township high school district.

She was coming too until someone told her if she died, they would throw her in the ocean and the whales would get her. She would not come. They and four children came, Jane, Ann, James and Thomas.
Ref: Mikki Crawford – The McConnell Family pg. 16 – Jane Mary McConnell was born in Ireland in 1811, and came to America in 1834. She was married to John Love, Jan. 18, 1838 and died in 1876 in her 65th year. She is buried in Keene Presbyterian Cemetery, Keene, Coshocton Co., OH. (My brother Earl told me that he remembers of hearing the family speaking of her and that they always referred to her as Aunt “Jin-Mary” with the accent on “Mary”). John Love was born in Ireland July 6, 1806 and came to America in 1826. Married Jane Mary McConnell Jan. 18, 1838 and died on March 13, 1892, in his 85th year being 85 years, 8 mos. And 7 das. They were the parents of eight children.
Not one descendant of John and Jane Mary (McConnell) Love is living today. The last one passed away many years ago. (Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the times I spent at the old Love Home. There were no children then in the Love family and they used to beg my parents to let me go down and spend time with them. Samuel, Emma and Miranda were living in the old home. John and Mary (sp) {Wilson} Love lived in a home on the south portion of the farm. As there several children in our family my parents quite often consented to my going to their home. I would often stay for several weeks. I remember so many things about his home and of the things that happened when I was there. I remember of how they carried water from the spring house, how the wash-water was heated in a big kettle that swung from a crane over the big fireplace in the basement, of the fireplace in the living room and the big cupboard to the right of it (where they kept the taffy they made for me), of the old spinning wheel in the parlor with its flax on the spindle all ready to spin, of the sun dial in the front yard, and so many other things that come back to me now. Most of this was before I was old enough to go to school.
Ref: Mikki Crawford - The McConnell Family pg. 11 – A letter written by John Wallace for Mrs. Love’s Uncle, David Love, at Ballymagown, Ireland, dated 3 March 1869 to Jane Mary (McConnell) Love. The author was unable to find a Ballymagown on an Irish map but did observe two readable post-marks on the envelope “Milford” and “Letterkenny”. Both towns are located near Rathmullen which is located in the northeastern part of County Donegal.
“I also have a letter written to Alexander McConnell by a Mr. Finley of Newtownstuart, Ireland, Dec. 15, 1875. He had been at their home in Northfield, Ohio and had just reached his home in Ireland. He was telling of his trip home and in the letter said, “On Friday the 11th, we sailed past your old home in Donegal an came up to Movill Bay after 8 o’clock p.m.” Moville Bay is on “Lough Foyle” an some miles east of Milford but still in County Donegal.
In 1832, Matthew McConnell, in company with Nathaniel McClure, came to America for the purpose of locating a place to which his parents could bring the rest of the children. They located in the new Ohio territory and decided on a spot in Keene Township, Coshocton Co., OH.
In 1834, John McConnell and Sarah (Rodgers) McConnell came to America bringing the other seven children (Mathew being already here) and located about three miles west of Keene.
Ref: (Sprague History) John lived on the Love farm and he and his Father, James, built a cabin in the orchard for the last member of the family to come to America - Eleanor Love, who had married in Ireland to John Osborn Love (not related). They arrived in New York in 1838, went up the Hudson River to the Lake Erie Canal, then the Ohio Canal to Roscoe, Ohio. Susan, their last child, was born August 24, 1838, just six weeks after they arrived at her brother, John's home. They lived in this cabin until they died. It is thought they died in 1881. They had been in America about four years when her sister, Fannie Love McKee, living in Plainfield, Ohio, died in 1842.
When Fannie died she asked that her sister, Eleanor Love, take the youngest child, James to raise.
John, who as a young man of twenty years, assumed the responsibility of bringing his parents, James and Jennie (McKee) Love, his brother, Thomas and two sisters, Fannie and Alice, to America in 1826.
The John Love family established a family cemetery in Ohio on a hill in their orchard. James, Jennie "Jennie" Love, and their daughter, Fannie (Love) McKee, were buried there. Before John died he asked that all the families in the neighborhood who had used the cemetery plot to bury family members to remove their remains to the cemeteries then established in Keene. James and Jennie Love and Fannie (Love) McKee were moved to the Presbyterian Cem. in Keene.

Mr. Love was 56 years old and was born at Canal Lewisville. He came to Coshocton when a young man, and the name has for years been identified with the business interests of the city. He was long the secretary of the Tuscarora Advertising Company, but last spring his health that had been failing for months compelled him to give up active work. Since he has been growing steadily worse.
Mr. Love leaves his wife, his sons Clyde, who is in the city, and Guy, a student in the Baltimore dental college, and his daughter, Mrs. William Wolford. Paul Love, of this city, Doctor M. J. Love of Sandusky and Melvin Love, of Bloomingville, are his brothers.
Mr. Love possessed a character sparkling with those traits that make men honored and loved by their fellow men. Ever firm in his convictions he was honest and straightforward with an earnestness that endeared him to all so fortunate as to know him. His association with the Odd Fellows was of long standing, and Coshocton had no more prominent and honored member of the order. While his death was not unexpected it comes as a shock to those who knew him only to honor and love him.

Ref: Maro Johnson – Told By An Irish Grandmother
On Erin’s Isle there be more sprits
That dare the sun or stir o’ nights
To plague or please you than in all
The world beside.
In Donegal I almost caught a leprechaun,
And from the shore I’ve glimpsed at dawn
The Merrows with their caps of red
And strands of seaweed garlanded
A-risen’ from the waves and wearin’
Hair as green as vales of Erin.
I’ve heard the Clurichaun sweep past
By moonlight, him that rides so fast
Upon a sheep till break o’ morn,
When, strained with mud, the beast lies worn.
Far Darring, bringer of the dark,
The evil dream, has set his mark
At midnight on my weary sleep
And laughed to see me toss and weep.
The Dullahan, the headless wraith,
I’ve not seen yet, but some night, faith,
He’ll come within his coach of black
To tell me death breathes down my back.
To speak the plain truth of the case,
Our isle is an enchanted place. Adelaide Love!

Despondency over ill health and the prospect of being taken to the county infirmary are given as motives in the suicide of Julia Demme, 57, former graduate nurse in her bedroom at the Charles Gartside home, 104 North Water St., sometime last night or early this morning by swallowing ten grains of one-fourth morphine tablets.
She had been a sufferer from tuberculosis or several months. Mrs. Demme had been taking morphine in small quantities to reduce her pain.
A note written by Mrs. Demme, which was found on the floor by her bed stated that she was going to take the potion to end her life. It was addressed to Mrs. Addie Love, Cambridge Rd., sister of the deceased.
The message read: “Dear Addie. Forgive me for doing this. I cannot live like this any longer. Leave my gold beads, rings and earrings on. Put on my white silk dress with that pretty silk lace. I will soon be at rest and you are to have anything – you and Edith. I have taken ten tablets of one-fourth grains morphine. Good-bye dear ones. I hope this won’t make Maro worse. I would not tell him. Signed, Julla, May 3, 1925.”
By Maro, she referred to Dr. Maro J. Love, a brother. He is suffering from heart trouble and no notice was sent him of his sister’s death.
Coroner Samuel Cohen said that Mrs. Gartside told him that she had found Mrs. Demme dead on the bed. Mrs. Gartside then notified the coroner and he went to the home, viewed the body, and pronounced death due to suicide.
A writing tablet was found by Coroner Cohen. He said that Mrs. Cartside told him that the woman had threatened to end her life once before.
Was to go to C. Home Plans – It was said, had been made to take Mrs. Demme to the county infirmary. The coroner understood that she was to have been taken to the infirmary some time this week, and that she did not wish to go. Mrs. Addie Love, a sister-in-law, said that Mrs. Demme desired to go to the infirmary on account of her condition.
The remainder of the morphine tablets were found by Coroner Cohen.
Julia Love was born in Coshocton on October 9, 1858. Her early girlhood was spent in the city. She was the daughter of the late Thomas and Marinda Love.
Early in life she went east to New Haven, Conn. Where she entered a nurses’ training school. She served two years as a nurse in Florida and Cuba during the Spanish American War. Prior to the war, Miss Love was united in marriage to James Demme, who died two years after their marriage. No children were born.
Mrs. Demme spent 25 years in Syracuse, NY as a nurse. She came back to Coshocton three years ago and has been living here since.
There are surviving, two brothers, Dr. Maro J. Love and M. T. Love, both near Sandusky; two sisters, Mrs. John Lee of Los Angeles, CA, and Miss Eva Love, of Mt. Clemens, MI.
No funeral arrangements had been made late this afternoon. The body was removed to Glass undertaking parlors for burial.

Ref: Oberlin College has a picture of Donald M. Love – Apparently Donald was the author of several books.
Ref: Extract – Oberlin College Archives - Under George Jones the secretaryship came to revolve primarily around two functions – keeping the records of the trustees, Prudential Committee, and General Faculty, and serving ad chief historian/statistician of the College. The Office of the Secretary became a powerful and influential unit within the institution. Jones was succeeded by Donald M. Love (1894-1974), who served as secretary from 1938 to 1962. Love carried out the responsibilities of secretary in much the same tradition as his predecessor, maintaining and perhaps even widening the power and influence of the office. During Love’s tenure, the responsibilities of the secretary as set forth in the bylaws remained unchanged, although specific duties evolved with the times. By 1955, the secretary became responsible for administrative affairs concerning foreign students. ---
Ref: Oberlin College Archives, Donald Melbourne Love (1894-1974); Personal Papers, 1868, 1882, 1891-1974) - Biography – Donald Melbourne Love was born in Bloomingville, Ohio, near Sandusky, on September 15, 1894. He was the only child of Melbourne Thomas Love (1860-1937), the village storekeeper and postmaster, and Grace De Lamatre Love (1866-1935), a graduate of the Connecticut Training School for Nurses. Love received his early education in a one-room district schoolhouse. After graduating from Sandusky High School in 1912, he entered Oberlin College where he began lifelong friendships with classmates Frederick B. Artz (1894-1983), Edgar W. King (1893-1969), Allan Fisk Rood (1894-1971), Edward Franklin Bosworth (1894-1957), Grace Schauffler (1894-1982), and Mary S. Yocom (1894-1968). Love majored in economics, willing election to Phi Beta Kappa during his senior year. In December 1915, President Henry Churchill King (1858-1934) chose Love as Oberlin’s delegate on the Peace Ship to Scandinavia hastily chartered by automaker Henry Ford (1863-1947) to end hostilities in Europe.
Following his graduation from Oberlin in 1916, Love taught mathematics, history, economics, and English in high schools in St. Charles, IL (1916-1917), Alliance, OH (1917-18), and Youngstown, OH (1918-26). In September 1926, he was appointed Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Oberlin and invited to teach the English Department’s annual “Introduction to Literature” course. Thus began thirty-six years of service to Oberlin College, during which time Love held six administrative positions, more than anyone else has held in the College’s history. From 1929 to 1935, while Assistant Dean, he served concurrently as Registrar; in 1935, he was appointed Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He remained Acting Dean until 1937, when he again occupied the post of Registrar. In 1938, he was named Secretary of Oberlin College, succeeding George M. Jones (1870-1942), who had been the first to hold that office (1899-1938). During the absence of President William E. Stevenson (1900-85) from May to September 1959, Love was named Acting President of Oberlin College; he was then serving as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1959-60).
Donald Love is best remembered for his twenty-four year tenure as Secretary of Oberlin College. Under Love, the influence of the Secretary within the college’s administrative and academic branches reached its peak. From 1938 until his retirement in 1962, he applied to his official tasks his broad learning, keen judgment, and humanistic ideals. Love saw in President Henry Churchill King the embodiment of those ideals. Love’s duties included serving as Secretary for the Board of Trustees (of which he was not a member) and the Prudential Committee (of which he was a member from 1935). His minutes were widely considered works of art as well as official accounts of the meetings. For the trustees, he prepared reports showing the proceedings of all of the groups whose records he maintained. In his capacity as records creator and records keeper, Love was Oberlin’s first unofficial archivist. His genuine interest in preserving Oberlin’s history made him an early champion of an achieves at Oberlin. For his long dedication to Oberlin, Love was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in 1960, and in 1963, the Alumni Association awarded him its highest honor, the Alumni Medal.
Donald Love always considered himself an educator rather than an administrator. Although his formal teaching at Oberlin was limited to the annual “Introduction to English Literature,” he taught the course form 1926 until 1965, bringing to life for generations of Oberlin students the splendors of the English literary tradition. His relentless intellectual curiosity contributed to his skills as a teacher. He remained a student of English letters, attending summer sessions at Middlebury (1921) and at Oberlin College (1922,1924,1925), and a winter session at Harvard University in 1937-38. Love combined his interests in education, literature, and travel by conducting the summer tour to the British Isles, “Backgrounds of English History and Literature,” for the Massachusetts-based Bureau of University Travel in 1950 and 1955.
Known for his fluidity of speech and grace in writing, Love was in demand as a speaker at town gatherings, at College events, and at events outside Oberlin. In academic year 1954-55, President Stevenson granted Love a leave of absence in which to write the biography of President Henry Churchill King. Published in 1956 by Yale University Press, Henry Churchill King of Oberlin was warmly praised by its reviewers. Success in his scholarly endeavor led in 1962 to a request by Board of Trustees that he complete Robert S. Fletcher’s History of Oberlin College by extending its narrative from the Civil War to 1925. The project was never initiated, as Love lacked not the ability but the temperament to carry out the considerable archival research required; Love even confessed in a 1969 letter to Ralph Singleton his lack of interest in “grubbing around” in the College’s records, many of which he had written himself.
In addition to his administrative and teaching duties for the College, Love was dedicated to the welfare of the town; to Oberlin citizens he was known as “Mr. Oberlin”. Love served the First Church in Oberlin in numerous capacities during the period from 1940 to his death in 1974, including those of trustee, moderator, deacon, Vice-Chairman of the Executive Council, chairman of the Cabinet Committee, and Pastoral Committee member. He served as board member or officer of such civic organizations as the Oberlin Auto club, Oberlin City Club, Oberlin United Appeal, Oberlin Chamber of Commerce, Peoples Bank (now defunct), and the Oberlin Community Chest. Love was the first secretary of the Oberlin Historical and Improvement Organization (1964-74) and president of its predecessor body, the Oberlin Historical Society (1960-1964). He was instrumental in the establishment of the Lorain County Community College, sitting on the College’s Board of Trustees from 1963 to 1970 and serving as Board Chairman from 1967 to 1969.
Donald Love remained active up until his death in Oberlin on November 13, 1974, at the age of eighty.

Ref: Who is this?: Coshocton Democrat, Coshocton, OH, 7 Jul. 1891 – The daily papers of last Friday published a notice of the death of Judge James M. Love, of Keokuk, IA. Forty years ago Mr. Love was a well-known citizen of Coshocton – then a lawyer here of marked ability, and a highly respected citizen. He came as a young man from McConnellsville to Coshocton about 1840 or soon thereafter and establishing himself in the practice of the law here soon secured a lucrative practice. At the breaking out of the Mexican War, he enlisted with others here at Coshocton, and was made a Lieutenant of the Company B, F. Sel’s and other ex-soldiers here were members of this Company. Upon the resignation of Captain Meredith, at Mattamoras, Mexico, Love was elected Captain and served with credit tot he end of that War. He returned to Coshocton and resumed the practice of the law. In 1852 or 1854 Love was made the Democratic nominee for Congress in this District, but was defeated at the election by John Johnson. Soon thereafter, he moved to Iowa, and located at Keokuk, where he acquired much legal business, and grew rapidly in public favor. During the administration of President Buchanan, Mr. Love was appointed a Judge of the United States District Court, which position he filled until the time of his death, and so discharged the duties of that high judicial position as to win for him the reputation of an able and upright Judge. He was thirty-six years on the Bench, and at the time of his death, his age was more than three score and ten.
