RHODES, Elvet B., Springs Valley Herald (January 16, 1919) Death Notice
Elvet B. Rhodes, one of West Baden's oldest and most prominent citizens passed away at his home in that city last Sunday morning from pneumonia. Mr. Rhodes was at one time part owner of the West Baden Springs Hotel with Mr. Sinclair. He was a member of the Masonic Order and the local lodge had charge of the funeral which was at Ames Chapel Tuesday.
Springs Valley Herald (January 30, 1919) Memorial
Death having severed the cord of life and set at liberty the soul of our beloved brother Elvet B. Rhodes. from the cares and sorrows of this life, thise severing another link from the fraternity chain that cinds us together. May we, who survive him be more strongly cemented in the ties of union and friendship and while we drop a sympathetic tear over the grave of our deceased brother let us cast around him the brood mantle of Masonic charity nor withhold from his memory the commendation that his virtues claim at our hands.
Elvet B. Rhodes was raised to the sublime Degree of Master Mason on the night of Dec. 5, 1911 by French Lick Lodge No. 586, and ever after lived an honorable and consistent member and was greatly loved by the fraternity and all who knew him
He died at his home in West Baden, Ind. Jan. 12, 1919, aged 69 years past
His funeral was preached at the Ames Chapel Church Jan. 14, by Rev. Frank Denny after which his remains were laid in their final resting place at the Ames Chapel Cemetery by French Lick Lodge No. 586 A. F. & A. M.
To those of his immediate relative and friends who are most heartstricken at the loss we have all sustained, we do most deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement, and the God of all graces help and comfort them, and may they look forward to the time of the general meeting where there will be no parting. C. W. Kellams, Wm. J. McCoy, F. A. Roach, committee.
Springs Valley Herald (January 30, 1919) Obituary
Elvet Beverly Rhodes was born north of West Baden, Indiana on what s known as the James McCracken farm, December 17, 1849, and died at his home in West Baden, Indiana, January 12, 1919, aged 69 years, 26 days. He was son of John A. and Nancy Ann Pinnick Rhodes, to whom were born eight children, namely: Anna J. (Mrs. G. W. Campbell), Elvet, the subject of this sketch, Joseph, James, Martha, Elizabeth (who was the wife of Geo. T. Osborn), John and Andrew, who died in childhood. The others lived to adult life. In 1863, the father died, leaving the family of growing boys and girls in their tender years to the care of the widowed mother. She proved herself to be a wonderful capacity and fine judgement, and the qualities of hardihood and endurance, which we knew in this, her eldest son, were no doubt born of those early years when he was the chief dependence of that mother, at thirteen years old.
The strain and hardship broke her health and she died in 1869. The home was broken up, and Elvet, then 20 years old, went to live with his sister and became associated in business with his brother-in-law, the late George W. Campbell and the firm named Campbell and Rhodes became a part of the life of Orange County, finally culminating in E. B. Rhodes purchasing one-third interest in the West Baden Springs Hotel, where for seventeen years, he was the junior partner with the late L. W. Sinclair, which relation ended with the fire of 1901, after which, he confined himself to farming and stock raising having always had an inherent love for fine horses.
In 1880 he was married to Fannie J. Porter, who tuberculosis claimed after only fourteen months. Within a few years he was married to Mrs. Alice Faucett Roberts. To this union were born three children, namely: John A., Minnie Louise and Roscoe Faucett, all of whom, with the mother, survive him. John, the eldest son, is still in the Army Service at Camp Knox and Roscoe has long been his father's dependence of the White River Stock farm, at Haysville. There also remains the one sister, Mrs. Campbell, of Bloomington, Ind., upon whom the blow falls heavily, she being the eldest and last of them all and her own home having also been practically their family home in days gone by. She has mothered them all, and has one by one laid them all away. E. B. Rhodes was a man of energy. Plain, unassuming, a man who really saw the dignity of labor as few men do, and his happiness was in honest effort to achieve, and a clean upright life
He united with the M. E. Church at Nelson Chapel when quite a young man, under the pastorate of Rev. Harned, but had never transferred his membership to West Baden although his interest, as well as this family were always identified with West Baden M. E. Church.
He was a member of French Lick Lodge of Masons, a 32nd degree Mason, a member of the Murat Shrine of Indianapolis for 18 years. He was Postmaster at West Baden for years before it was made a Presidential Office, and was Presidential Postmaster during the administrations of Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt.
The end has come.
A long life, clean, honest and pure gone out, like the falling of a giant oak in the forest, which having weathered the storms of years, stands as their monument, so the strength of this life stands out in the memory of us all patient, enduring, of undaunted courage, clean and wholesome, despising wrong, and by his example bids us keep to the things that best made for real character. The end has come.
And again we are reminded that in the economy of an Infinite God, death has its natural place, even as birth, and that what He has panned - even death, being so universal, must be a blessing.

Virginia is Harold Conn Murphy's cousin. She lives in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana now and worked at the Herald-Times when it was the Herald-Telephone with Allan Richard Murphy (Harold's son). She spent Sunday, 30 December 2001, visiting at our house when The Murphy Girls (Marilyn, Sue, and Carmen) came to celebrate Christmas. Virginia attended Winamac High School and then was graduated from Manchester College, Indiana. She married Albert Fiscus and called him Mr. Fiscus until he suggested that she no longer needed to address him as she would a teacher as he was now her husband. He was from Worthington, Indiana and they moved there when a music position opened up for him. "Ginnie" worked for the newspapers and the radio station where she composed the words for a ditty for the Bynum Office Supply Company in Bloomington. The ditty became a popular marching song for the Monroe County soldiers during WW II. During the war, Albert was stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. His work was classified; so Virginia can't tell us what it was he really did; though she thinks it wasn't anything as glorious as spying.

Virginia Zellers Fiscus said, "Aunt Edna was the fun aunt. She was a school teacher until she married, because in those days women didn't work when they married. She was always kind, cheerful, and funny when the cousins went to her house." Tragically, her two sons were both killed in car accidents in the 1940's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSBORNE L. WILSON
That venerable and honorable citizen of Kings county, Cal., O. L. Wilson, who is living in retirement at No. 602 East Ninth Street, Hanford, was born in Washington County, Ind., August 29, 1825, and has lived in California since August 8, 1849. He grew to manhood on a farm on Blue River, went to school at Salem and was managing a farm there for his father at the time of the outbreak of the Mexican War. Enlisting in Company D, Second Indiana volunteers, he was sent to Mexico in 1846 and served until the expiration of his term of enlistment. He returned to his home in Indiana, but again enlisted in Company B, Fifth Indiana Volunteers, under Captain Green, and was sent again to Mexico in 1847 and served gallantly until the end of the war when he was honorably discharged. He took part in many important engagements, including those at Buena Vista and Del Rey under such commanders as Generals Taylor, Woolfe, and Scott, the latter having been commander-in-chief. He has kept a copy of the Salem News, published at Salem, Ind., April 7, 1847, an extra edition devoted largely to the events of the Mexican war and containg bulletins of the very latest news from the camp of General Taylor. After the war he went to Scotland County, Mo., where he remained through the winter of 1848-49. On April 15, 1849, he started with an ox-team wagon train to California and arrived within the borders of this state August 8 following. For two years he mined at Ringgold and Weavertown, on the American River, at Yuba, at Rough and Ready, at Nevada City and in Nevada, meeting with fair success. His associations were not to his taste and in 1851 he bought land at Gilroy, Cal., part of the Los Alamos grant, and devoted himself to cattle raising with farming as subsidiary business. There he remained until he sold his land to Thomas Rey, and drove his cattle and sheep over into that part of Tulare county which is now Kings county and squatted on part of the Laguna De Tache grant. Later he secured one thousand acres of land on his Mexican war land warrant, lying on the Kings river in sections 1, 12 and 13. After that he bought land from time to time until he owned six thousand acres in that vicinity and in Fresno county and for about thirty years he was engaged in sheep raising. Eventually he divided most of his land among his children and in 1900 retired from active life.
On December 3 1854, Mr. Wilson married Miss Rose Wilburn at Gilroy, and they had thirteen children, six of whom are now living. Mr. Wilson has nineteen granchildren and six great-grandchildren. Those children who survive are: John A.; William C.; Julia, widow of John Alcorn; Mrs. Rose Henry; Mrs Fannie Hughes, and Calhoun Wilson. During all his long and honorable career Mr. Wilson has consistently demonstrated his public spirit and has been in the van of all worthy movements for the public uplift. He has bought eight cemetery lots, on which he has erected a replica of the Washington monument, which when he has passed away will be his lasting memorial.

Fort Wayne News (Fort Wayne, Indiana)
[From the Colton (Cal.) Times.]
Quietly appointed, but with everything in artistic harmony, was the pretty celebration of the nuptials of Miss Anna Glass and Lloyd Hulbert, which occurred June 6 at 1 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Cunnison, on East F street, Mrs. Cunnison being a sister of the bride. Snow-white carnations, Shasta daisies and greenery were employed to give a bridal bower effect to the rooms used for the wedding ceremony, and the setting was charming in its atmosphere of simplicity. At the appointed hour Miss Gladys Cunnison, a niece of the bride, began the wedding march and the happy couple quietly took their places in front of the Rev. R.M. Davis of the First Presbyterian church, who used the beautiful ring service for the plighting of the solemn vows.
A dainty and girlish frock of white embroidered crepe had been chosen for the occasion by the bride, and immediately after the falling of the benediction this was changed for a natty little suit of Alice blue silk, with coat and other accessories in harmony, and at 1:50 the bride and groom left over the Santa Fe to San Diego for a ten days' stay. Only immediate relatives of the bride and groom were witnesses of the ceremony. After July 1 Mr. and Mrs. Hulbert will be at home to friends at 1200 North Ninth street, the young groom having fitted up a charming bungalow which is all in readiness for the coming of its winsome new mistress. Mr. Hulbert is a sterling young man with a host of warm friends who will not only heartily congratulate him but will give a genuine welcome to his bonny bride.
--
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emery Glass, of near this city, and was a teacher in the city schools. She was a charming young lady, and will be greatly missed by a host of friends.

"The Murphys According to Fannie Graffis"
Early History by Hazel Kerk Murphy Wiesjahn
The author, Hazel, is the daughter of Nathan Archibald "Arch" Murphy and Mary E. "Mollie" Venard. She is the granddaughter of William Kerr Murphy and Sarah Elizabeth Slane; and the great granddaughter of Nathan Hunt Murphy and Martha Barbara Kerr.
AUNT MARTHA
Aunt Martha was not here very often. She had married young to James Dunn who soon died leaving one son Will. Aunt M brought him home to live with G.G. and Aunt Mary untill he was old enough to go to college. He worked his way through DePaw and became the only Methodist preacher in the family.
His mother remarried but did not live near the rest of the folks. She was small and had curly bangs.
One summer she came home to visit the relatives spending two or three weeks at each home. After she left we didn’t hear anything about her untill her death.

The Madison Courier, May 15, 1972
'Ted' Renne, Businessman, Teacher, Dies
Carl "Ted" Renne, well-known Madison businessman and special education teacher here for more than five years, died at 3:15 A.M. yesterday at King's Daughters Hosital. He was 62.
His home was at 623 west Main Street.
He and his wife, the former Bula Butler whom he married in 1962, owned and operated Bula's Inc.
Renne came to Madison in 1951 and with his first wife, the former Helen Cavanaugh, operated the Renne laundry at the northeast corner of Main and Mill Streets. She was killed in an automobile crash 12 years ago.
He was a native of Shevlin, Minnesota. After graduation from Concordia College (Moorehead, Minn.), he was a hgih school coach at Wild Rose, N.D. in 1934, and served four years, 1934-38 as a high school coach and principal at Ogilvie, Minn.
He was an FBI man in South America from 1941-46, and had a coverup job with the Wilbur-Ellis Export and Import Company in several South American countries. After leaving the FBI, he continued with that company until 1951 when he came to Madison.
Renne accepted a position as a special education teacher in a new program at the Madison Junior High School and began important work with handicapped children in September of 1965. He continued these duties until ill health forced his resignation Dec. 10 of last year.
Last Friday evening, at its annual dinner meeting, the Jefferson County Association for Retarded Children awarded Renne its Certificate of Award. Although unable to attend the event, Renne was presented later with the certificate and a letter stated he was instrumental in teaching special children, and in the acceptance of the retarded in numerous cases.
He was a charter member of the Lide White Memorial Boys' Club board of directors, and has served on that board continuously during the 15 years of the club's existence. He was in charge of obtaining camperships for hundreds of boys to attend Camp Bradford Woods [in Morgan County, Indiana].
He had been a longtime booster of the Madison Regatta, and had served a term as its secretary-treasurer, and was a former pit chairman.
He was one of the first police commissioners named by the late mayor Markt Lytle when that group was appointed in 1960, and he served two terms as a commissioner.
He was a former member of the zoning board and the Girl Scout board.
He was a member of the Madison Rotary Club, and was chairman of Rotary's Christmas party for Boys' Club members for many years.
He also was a member of the Madison Country Club, Elks, Moose, Madison Downtown Retail Merchants Association, and the Madison Classroom Teachers Association.
He was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.
He is survived by his wife Bula; three daughters: Karen, a teacher of Spanish and English at Hartford City [Indiana]; Sally, who graduated yesterday from Albion (Mich.) College; and Margo[t], a junior at Madison Consolidated High School; two sisters: Mrs. Clara Austin, Hamilton, Mont.; and Mrs. Edel Austin, San Francisco; and many nieces and nephews.
Services will be at 10:30 A.M. Wednesday at Trinity Methodist Church, with burial in Springdale Cemetery.
Friends may call from 7:30 P.M. today until 9:30 P.M. tomorrow at the Lytle Mortuary. Elks services will be held there at 7:30 P.M. tomorrow.
The family has requested that expressions of sympathy take the form of conributions to the Jefferson County Association for Retarded Children or the Lide White Memorial Boys' Club.

Hello There Helen,
Got your letter today. Thanks a lot. We didn’t get very much for about 3 1/2 months so now when we have mail call here everyone is damned glad to hear what’s happening.
Hey I hear there’s a cigarette shortage in the states. We’ve gone a little over a week on the lines sometimes without getting any, so if the papers back there say what I imagine they’re saying don’t believe them..
That sure was some experience having a fellow stick a gun in your ribs. Will tell you exactly what I would have done. Would have stuck my hands up right away and boy I’m not kidding either. Every time when we started an attack my knees had a quarrel.
Aunt Lillian [Lillian Annette Roberts m. Guy Shrum] sent a picture of Buddy [Guy Addison Shrum, s/o Lillian and Guy]. He sure looks good in his whites. When we both get back, we’ll all have to have a big reunion Maybe Ted will be back for a while by then, and Buddy can bring his gal friend and I’ll bring Ebbie and Sambo. That’s what Ebbie has nicknamed him and it will probably stick. Glad to hear about your love life Helen. It’s a hell of a thing when the next to the youngest of the bunch has to start the ball rolling. Maybe Martha [Sam's sister] and Carol [Carol Jean Shrum, d/o Lillian and Guy] will have a little outside interest then too. Damn I’m a vicious little cupid. Ha!
Well Helen there’s not much happening around here in the hospital to write about. We eat, sleep, and read the latest magazines (last July’s). Used to get enough practice on my German to give you some return competition on that Spanish you’re quoting me but can’t put it in this letter because the further behind the lines you get the bigger and better the spy scares go. They -- well I won’t say it, but I’ll be glad to get back to my outfit again anyway. Will write more later. Good luck to you Helen and write again. If you write in the next 3 weeks after you get this, write to the hospital and they’ll forward it. After that write to my outfit. [draws an arrow]

James Cavanaugh was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1840, and immigrated to
America with his mother, his father having died when he was a mere infant. He and his mother first located in Cincinnati, Ohio, where James was reared and educated. Here he also learned the tanner's trade, which he followed for many years. In 1861, he enlisted in the Civil War, serving in Company I, Sixty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, until the close of hostilities. He was with General Sherman on his march to the sea and was mustered out in 1865. He then located in Washington County, Indiana, where he followed his trade for a time, later in engaging in agricultural pursuits. He was appointed county superintendant of the poor asylum and continued in this capacity until his death in 1907 [error, should read 1897]. James Cavanaugh married Lucy B. Reynolds, a native of Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland, and they were the parents of five children: Edward, Anna (Purlee), Elizabeth, who married Joseph B. Wright; Thomas and Robert E. Anna married Ernest O. Purlee, who is a farmer and school teacher of Washington Township; Elizabeth married Joseph B. Wright, who is a farmer in Pierce Township; Robert E., is superintendent of the Salem High School.

Newspaper Obituary
Death of James Cavanaugh
Early Wednesday morning, March 10th, inst., James Cavanaugh, Superintendent of the Washington County Poor Asylum, died at that institution after a week's illness of pneumonia. His funeral occurred yesterday and the remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery, Salem.
Mr. Cavanaugh was a native of Ireland, 57 years of age, but came to America with his parents when but a small boy. He was reared mainly in Cincinnati, Ohio, coming to Indiana when 18 years of age. He resided in Jefferson Township and earned a livelihood as a farmer until he was made superintendent of the poor farm four years ago last December.
Mr. Cavanaugh's wife was Miss B. Reynolds, an aunt of Michael Dennany, with whom she came to America when they were both young people under 21 years of age. The wife is a most excellent women, worthy of her late husband in every way, and their married life was happy and their joint success in saving a competency on the farm and in managing the County Infirmary to the satisfaction of the public has been marked. To them were born seven children, 5 of whom are living. These are Edward, (who is married and lives on the home place in Jefferson Township,) Anna, Lizzie, Thomas M. and Robert Emmet.
Mr. Cavanaugh served in the 66th Indiana Infantry during the war and had a good record. In politics he was a Democrat and in religion he accepted the doctrine of most of the people of his native land. He was obliging, upright and held in high esteem as a man and a citizen.

When her brother James H. Reynolds attested to her age for marriage, Lucy is called Bridget. On the 1870 Census she is Bridget.
Also, the same 1870 Census for Jefferson Township, Washington County, Indiana lists James and Brighet Reynolds Cavanaugh as being 28 years of age. That would change their birth years to 1842... Subsequent census results confirm that theory. Oh, well, that's a search for another day...

Lucy B. Reynolds Cavanaugh, daughter of John and Anne Reynolds, was born at Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland, 12 may 1839 and died at her home near Salem, Indiana, 11 June 1916, aged 77 years and 30 days.Mrs. Cavanaugh's early life was spent in her native land where she resided until she was nineteen years old. She then left her home accompanied by her nephew Michael Dennany, and came to America to live with the family of her brother, James Reynolds. Although she never ceased to love her native country, America as the land of freedom became her ideal and she loved her adopted land with greatest zeal. She was married in 1866 to James Cavanaugh who preceded her in death nineteen years ago. To this union were born seven children, two of whom died in infancy. Those remaining to mourn her departure are Edward, Anna, the wife of Ernest O. Purlee, Elizabeth, the wife of Jos. B. Wright, Thomas M., and Robert E., all of whom were present to comfort her in her last illness. In addition to these she leaves nine grandchildren, many nephews and nieces, and a very great number of friends who have learned to know her splendid qualities as a woman of tender sympathies and kindly disposition.Mrs. Cavanaugh was reared as a Catholic and remained steadfastly loyal to that faith. She was a true Christian in the broadest sense of the term, and her one aim in life was to serve God almighty through administering to the needs of her fellow mankind. The earliest recollections of her children bring to mind the errands on which they were sent with food for the poor and distressed, for she was ever ready and willing to divide her last mite from the slender store of her home.That she was a woman of good judgement and business ability is attested by the fact that in 1897 on the death of her husband who at the time superintendent of the Washington County Poor Farm, the board of county commissioners unanimously elected her to succeed the position. This place she retained, assisted by her son Thomas for four and a half years when she resigned to retire to her home at this place in 1901 where she resided most of the time since that date. She loved the country life with its freedom, and her interest in the farm never ceased as long as conscious life lasted. She was a very patient sufferer, and, even in the last bitter hours, she was more concerned with the comfort of those with her than for her own.Although she lived beyond the average years allotted to mortal life, never-the-less it is hard to give her up, for her kindly smile and words of encouragement will always be sadly missed. There is much consolation in knowing that her life was well spent, and her own statement a few hours before death, "I haven't a fear in the world" is most reassuring to her relatives and friends.
The funeral services for Mrs. James Cavanaugh were conducted from the family residence at Canton, Tuesday afternoon by Rev. W. D. Bartle, of the Salem Christian Church, and were largely attended by friends and relatives. A quartette of singers, Miss Ethel Shultz, Mrs. E. H. Bristol, Messrs. E. P. Routh and Otto Zink, furnished special music for the services. Almost the entire corps of Salem teachers were in attendance. Interment was made in St.Patrick's cemetery.

From Marilyn's collection of obituaries and newspaper clippings:
DEATH INVADES CONN, KLECKNER AND ENGLE HOMES
-----
Death came Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to Mrs. H. P. Conn, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Nims on Franklin Street, where she had been taken Saturday following a fall at her home west of town, in which she fractured her right hip. Mrs. Conn was 66 years, 2 months and 9 days of age.
Emma Uretta was born December 3, 1863, in Cass county, a daughter of E. [Edward] W. and Hester [Demoss]Welch. She came to Pulaski county when a small child and had spent her early life in the Star City vicinity, until, with her husband, they took up their residence west of town.
On March 16, 1881, she was united in marriage to Henry P. Conn, and to this union were born seven children, two of whom died in infancy.
Those surviving besides the husband, are: Four daughters, Mrs. Charles L. Zellers [Elsie Uretta Conn], Mrs. Clancy Murphy [Alma Anna CONN], Mrs. William Nims [Edna Martha CONN], of Winamac, and Mrs. C. E. [Fanny Helen] Gilger of Rochester, and one son John [John H. CONN], also of Winamac, and 5 grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Martha J. [Welch] Low of Jersey City, N. J., and Mrs. Theresa B. [Welch] Noland of Kokomo.
Mrs. Conn was a member of the W. B. A. lodge and of the Presbyterian church and was active in both until ill health required her to give up. She had been in ill health for several years and the shock of the fall and fracture of the hip was more than her frail constitution could stand.
The funeral will be conducted from the Presbyterian church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with services by Rev. L. M. Krueger. Burial will be given in the Winamac cemetery.

Eva
I am still at the same place as when I wrote last 8 miles from B. I have not been to town for about 10 days but think I will go down in day or two. Went about 3 miles yesterday and it was so windy as I come back up the mountain that I had to stop in several houses "to pull wind" a little while the "diameter" stands at about 20 degrees below "Cairo" so you may know that the atmoshere is tolerably like invigorating-- We have been having visitors for the last two weeks at night Rocky Mt. Lions, Wolves and wild cats they try to get into our smoke house. We have the smoke house in a coffy sack "suspended in the sky blue invisibility about 20 feet high by means of a rope drawn over a pine limb. I have some very nice specimins of ore Sallie wanted me to send but the express charges from here are enormous so I shall not send them yet. I saw some beautifull round cactus on the mountain side last Sunday. They were about twice as large as teac cup and perfectly spherical. I don't remember of seeing anything like them at home.
Did you go to Hannies to meet Miss Funk as you had expected. What did you learn. Sallie wrote to know my expenses -- ticket from Mitchel to Denver $41.15, Denver to Boulder 2.10, with a few other incidental expences. We took our grub with in a tin box and "thusly" saved about $10.00. Have you learned anything yet from court at Paoli. Was Uncle Will out there. I must close for the present Willie is grinding coffee in a baking powder can with the end of a hammer handle. Write.
Yours, Addison
Wish you would hand the editor of the Fred. News about 50 ct for me sometime when its handy he is sending me the paper and cant send him that amt. of money very easy.

Family lore has it that Lillie Mae was so mad at someone that she chopped up the cherry furniture. The cabinet maker, Peter Hancock, came with the Hancocks to Indiana from Wilson County, Tennessee circa 1818; so perhaps Lillie Mae was furious at her mother-in-law, Mary Jane Hancock Roberts, rather than Sam's father, Richard. This seems more likely, because Lillie Mae and Sam named their youngest child after Richard Roberts. Who knows...
-----
Lillie Mae was a county graduate. Her daughters were all high school graduates and studied in the I.S.U. and State Normal, and all were teachers in the public schools.

Hello There Helen,
Got your letter today. Thanks a lot. We didn’t get very much for about 3 1/2 months so now when we have mail call here everyone is damned glad to hear what’s happening.
Hey I hear there’s a cigarette shortage in the states. We’ve gone a little over a week on the lines sometimes without getting any, so if the papers back there say what I imagine they’re saying don’t believe them..
That sure was some experience having a fellow stick a gun in your ribs. Will tell you exactly what I would have done. Would have stuck my hands up right away and boy I’m not kidding either. Every time when we started an attack my knees had a quarrel.
Aunt Lillian [Lillian Annette Roberts m. Guy Shrum] sent a picture of Buddy [Guy Addison Shrum, s/o Lillian and Guy]. He sure looks good in his whites. When we both get back, we’ll all have to have a big reunion Maybe Ted [Carl Theodore Renne m. Helen Beatrice Cavanaugh] will be back for a while by then, and Buddy can bring his gal friend and I’ll bring Ebbie and Sambo. That’s what Ebbie has nicknamed him and it will probably stick. Glad to hear about your love life Helen. It’s a hell of a thing when the next to the youngest of the bunch has to start the ball rolling. Maybe Martha [Sam's sister] and Carol [Carol Jean Shrum, d/o Lillian and Guy] will have a little outside interest then too. Damn I’m a vicious little cupid. Ha!
Well Helen there’s not much happening around here in the hospital to write about. We eat, sleep, and read the latest magazines (last July’s). Used to get enough practice on my German to give you some return competition on that Spanish you’re quoting me but can’t put it in this letter because the further behind the lines you get the bigger and better the spy scares go. They -- well I won’t say it, but I’ll be glad to get back to my outfit again anyway. Will write more later. Good luck to you Helen and write again. If you write in the next 3 weeks after you get this, write to the hospital and they’ll forward it. After that write to my outfit. [draws an arrow]

Ervin Albert Winje was born 26 Sep 1897 in Liberty Grove Township, North Dakota.
From: pat dahl
My husband is a nephew of Sivert's. We researched Irvin's death several
years ago and recieved copies of his military records and the Coast
Guard Accident Report that covers his drowning. He separated from the US
Navy in 1920, evidently joined a religious cult (House of David) and
sailed on their Lake Michigan schooner, the Rosabelle. It "turned
turtle" during a storm in late October, 1921. No bodies were recovered.
There is a military marker in the Pleasant View Cemetery in Lidgerwood,
ND where his parents and some other family members are buried.

H.
Reynolds

65
James H. Reynolds, son of John and Anne Reynolds married Mary A. Pollock in Washington county on 10 September 1854. The 1880 Census indicates that James was born in Ireland 60 years ago. Mary Ann. was born in Indiana, aged 49. They had one more son besides the ones buried in St. Patrick’s. He was James Hamilton Reynolds and is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Salem, Washington County, Indiana. The Steven’s History says that James' sister, Lucy wife of James Cavanaugh, was a native of Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland. The Reynolds lived on a large farm located in Jefferson township close to the junction of Walnut Ridge Road and Rush Creek Road. They had a large orchard. The late Jerry Kiefer said the Reynolds were Black Irish (descendants of the Spanish Armada sailors shipwrecked on the Irish shore) and they were cousins of the Gills. I can’t document this.
According to the 1850 Census, James is living in the next household to Guy and Mary Pollock who have a daughter - Mary A. This is probably James’ future wife.

From Tennessee Marriages 1801-1825:
Elizabeth Hooker married John Mills on 28 November 1815. The same source lists Elizabeth Hooker Mills' marriage to Matthew Hancock 13 March 1819. There is a pay voucher in the National Archives for Elizabeth's father, Benjamin Hooker, for his sevice in the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was the last engagement of the war and was fought on 8 January 1815. The Treaty of Ghent had been signed 15 days before the Battle. This battle might have been prevented had cell phones already been invented. The point being that it is unlikely that Elizabeth's first husband, John Mills, was killed in that engagement. Benjamin returned along with his son and Elizabeth's brother, Joshua Freeman Hooker.

HOTTEL, Wilbur W., Springs Valley Herald (May 6, 1937) Death Notice
Judge Wilbur W. Hottel, 65, died of paralysis at his home in Salem last Thursday night. He had been ill since suffering a stroke three weeks ago.
The jurist was serving his second term as Judge of the Washington and Orange County Circuit Court. He was re-elected as the Democratic incumbent in 1936. He previously served as four years as deputy clerk of Washington County, joining his brother, THE LATE MILTON B. HOTTEL, an Appellate Judge, in the law firm of Hottel, Cauble and Hottel at the end of his term.
The last rites were conducted at the First Baptist Church in Salem, Saturday afternoon by Rev. W. R. Seat, a former pastor, assisted by the local pastor. Members of the bar of Washington and Orange County served as pall bearers. A large number of floral tributes attested love and esteem of relatives and friends and sympathy for the bereaved. Such a large number attended the service that it was impossible for all to get within the church. Interment was made in the Salem cemetery.
Judge Hottel, born in Fredricksburg, was graduated from Eikosi Academy at Salem and taught several terms of school, latter attending Indiana University Law School.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Josie Trueblood, son, Henley T., daughter, Mrs. George Nelson; brothers, Louie and Walter W.; and sisters, Mrs. Thomas Smith [Flora Anita Hottel] and Mrs. Samuel A. Roberts [Lillian "Lillie" Mae Hottel].

A newspaper clipping found in the same Bible written by a “guest present” at the Grand Golden Wedding Anniversary, 1 September 1879, of Sam Horner and Mary Leah Andrew states that there were five persons living who attended their wedding in 1849 who also attended the golden wedding anniversary. Brothers and sister of Mrs. Horner: the two Andrews, Joshua T. and Thomas and Mrs. Sallie (Andrew) Ollis. The “guest present” refers to Uncle Sammy (Samuel Horner) and Aunt Polly (Mary Leah “Polly” Andrew Horner). Family lore speculates that the “guest present” is Eliza Horner McPheeters.

Elsie was born 17 November 1900. Her mother, Lula, died in September of 1903. Elsie wasn't three yet and was the baby - the youngest of four - sisters Lois Wilma and Jessie; and brother Paige. Lois Wilma was 8, Jessie 5, and Paige was only 4. Edward remained a widower until he married Ida Mead on the 23rd of November of 1910. And Uncle Harry was born in 1912. Before Edward fell in love with and married Ida, those must have been some difficult years; but families gather close and Aunt Annie and Uncle Ern got to have Elsie. She became their only child and it was at Aunt Annie's and Uncle Ern's that the Renne and Cavanaugh cousins visited. The Cavanaugh Girls rode the big draft horses down to the creek with some difficulty. The Renne Girls rode, respectively, a horse, a cow, and a chicken.

"Exclusively Yours:" The love story of Ernie Pyle and his wife, written by his long-time friend, Paige Cavanaugh, is being blueprinted for the screen as a possible sequel to "The Story of G.I. Joe"
Producer Lester Cowan and Cavanaugh are huddling on the idea with Herb Shriner playing the role of Cavanaugh as well as narrating the film. Herb's making his debut for Cowan in "Main Street to Broadway." Burgess Meredith created the Pyle role but Cowan says he'll need a younger actor if he films the sequel.

In 1918 Lois became a member of the faculty of the Commercial Department of Central Junior High School, Huntington, West Virginia, where she was teaching at the time of her death from diptheria. She was dearly loved by all who knew her.
In memory of Miss Lois Cavanaugh the final tribute of love was rendered Wednesday afternoon at the beautiful suburban home east of Salem. Many friends assembled on the lawn for the service which was conducted at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. J. W. Eller of the Methodist Church and Rev. W. I. Bartle of the Christian Church. Music was furnished by Mrs. O. E. Coffman and Mrs. I. E. Huckleberry, who sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus, " "Saved by Grace" and "God Will Take Care of You."
The burial was in St. Patrick's Cemetery, where the flower laden casket was tenderly lowered to the tomb by the pall-bearers, Messrs Warder Morris, Will H. Lindley, Charles Shrum, George Etzler, James McCullough and Leslie Purlee.
The flower bearers were Mrs. Heber Crim, Mrs. Tillie Hobbs, Mrs. Merle Parker, Mrs. George Etzler, Misses Ruth White and Helen Schlagal, of Salem and Misses Pearl Gross and Estelle Devlin, of Huntington, West Virginia.
Misses Gross and Devlin, friends and teachers, accompanied the bereaved father and uncle, Messrs Edward and T. M. Cavanaguh to Salem with the remains, arriving here Tuesday evening.
Lois Wilma Cavanaugh, daughter of Lula and Edward Cavanaugh was born 31 August 1895, and died 20 October 1919, being 24 years, 1 month and 20 days old.
Her mother died when she was eight years old and her grandmother, Lucy B. Cavanaugh, reared her to womanhood. After the death of ther grandmother, she made her home with her father.
She graduated from the Salem High School in 1915. She afterwards attended school at Terre Haute and Bowling Green University having graduated from the latter place in 1917. She taught one year at Carthage, Tenn., and in 1918 she became a member of the faculty of the Commercial Department of Central Junior High School, Huntington, West Virginia, where she was teaching at the time of her death.
During her school life she was popular with her teachers and classmates because of her sunny disposition and willingness to co-operate in all activities. Her life in Huntington was marked by her number of friends among the town people as well as faculty and students.
Her death was a great shock to her family and cummunity because of her brief illness. On Monday, October 13, she was taken ill with sore throat which developed into diptheria to which she succumbed Monday morning at 4:30 o'clock.
In answer to a telephone call late Sunday night her father left at once in an effort to reach her before her death. He was overtaken at Louisville the following morning, by his brother, Thomas who, had a little later heard the sad news that she had died. The father and uncle were met at Huntington, by friends and school officials, who had made arrangements in preparing the body to be sent home. Friends remained at the funeral parlor all day receiving many sympathetic students and friends who viewed the remains.
Short funeral services were held Monday evening and the brothers left with the body on the early train Tuesday accompanied by Miss Pearl Gross, of Buchannon, W. Va., and Miss Estelle Devlin, of Newark, Ohio, both of whom were fellow teachers of Lois. Miss Gross was her most intimate friend in Huntington.
Perhaps no girl in her own home community was better known or more greatly loved. The floral tributes from Huntington and from her home friends are evidences of her beautiful life and of the respect in which she was held. She is survived by her father, stepmother, two sisters and two brothers who with her uncles and aunts morn the loss as one family knit by the closest ties.
Lois was of a devoted Christian character and in every phase of life, she lived true to the principles which the religion teaches. She was energetic, helpful, tender hearted and kind. She will be missed by her friends but the good which she has done will endure. Though her life span was short, it was not in vain.

You may ritely Suppose Something of my feelings when I broke the Seal of your letter and found it bareing date at the city of Mexico, and the Signature of your name.

On 4 August 1915, Richard wrote "A Sketch of My Life" at the Blue River Valley Farm of which he was proprietor.
( Autobiography )
A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF RICHARD DEVENISH, FREDERICKSBURG, INDIANA.
My grandfather was born in England.
My father was born in Maryland.
My mother was born in England. Her maiden name was Mary Guest.
I was born the Sixth of March 1836 one mile north of New Albany Ind. My parents were then living in what then was termed the double log house. My education was reading, writing, Arithmetic, Geography and Spelling in the Common School of that day. In September 1853 I left home with six dollars in my pocket and my earthly goods tied up in a big red handkerchief. My first stop was Cincinnati. I worked in a Sawmill there until May 1854 then I went to Pittsburgh and in August I as a helper took a drove of horses to Lancaster City, and 17 miles east of that city I found employment as a farm hand and remained there until Nov 1855. And while there I learned to Speak German. My next stop was Indianapolis remained there until March 1856 when I returned home.
From 1856 to 1857 I worked on the home farm. In April of 1858 I started for California taking boat to Cincinnati and rail to New York City, thence by steamer to Cuba, crossing the Isthmus of Panama, and by steamer to San Francisco, thence to Eureka, in Humbolt County. There I went into the timber business, supplying logs for the saw-mills. Humboldt and Mendiceno Counties have some of the finest timber in the world.
On the 27th of November I sailed by steamer for San Francisco, and the 3rd of December at nine o’clock a.m., four other men and myself took passage on the Butterfield Stage-coach for St. Louis, by way of Los Angeles, Tuscon, Ariz., through New Mexico to El Paso, Fort Worth and Dallas to Fort Smith, Ark., Van Buran to Springfield then to Sedolia, Mo. Here we left the coach and took train to St. Louis.
At that time Arizonia, New Mexico, and the most of Texas through which we came were occupied by Indians and buffaloes. This was the wildest and most hazardous journey of my life, costing each of us $250.00. We arrived at the Planters Hotel in St. Louis at eleven p.m. on Christmas eve, being twenty-one days and nights on a constant drive. In Texas we drove for forty-five miles through buffaloes.
I remained on the farm at home until February, 1862; and from then until November of 1865 I was with the Army of the Cumberland, through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama. The twelfth day of January, 1866, I came to Fredericksburg, Ind. The 2nd day of April, 1868, Mary E. Sensney and I were married. She died the 2nd of August 1886. The 14th of May, 1890, Sallie A. Roberts and I were married.
The fifth of August 1902 my wife and I went on a visit to my relatives in the State of Washington, going by way of Chicago, Omaha, Schyenne, Denver, Colorado Springs, Puablo, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and back to Sacramento, Mount Shasta, Portland, Seattle and Spokane. My friends were located within from forty to ninty miles of Spokane.
The sixteenth of June, 1913 wife and I started on another trip west by way of Chicago, St. Paul and over the Great Northern R.R. to Spokane and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In my rambles I have been in and through the most of these United States. I have not been in South Dakota, Kansas, Lousiana, Florida, the two Carolinas, Maryland, the District of Columbia and the New England States.
What a change in this country since I came upon the stage of action. In January of 1868 I joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at Fredericksburg, Indiana; as to my Christian life I have nothing to say, but leave that to the judge of all mankind, who has been kind and merciful to me, and to the community win which I have lived.
On March the 18th, 1873, the Blue River Lodge No. 412, I.O.O.F. was organized here of which I was one of the charter members.

Tues nite Nov. 21
Hello There Helen,
Got your letter today. Thanks a lot. We didn’t get very much for about 3 1/2 months so now when we have mail call here everyone is damned glad to hear what’s happening.
Hey I hear there’s a cigarette shortage in the states. We’ve gone a little over a week on the lines sometimes without getting any, so if the papers back there say what I imagine they’re saying don’t believe them..
That sure was some experience having a fellow stick a gun in your ribs. Will tell you exactly what I would have done. Would have stuck my hands up right away and boy I’m not kidding either. Every time when we started an attack my knees had a quarrel.
Aunt Lillian [Lillian Annette Roberts m. Guy Shrum] sent a picture of Buddy [Guy Addison Shrum, s/o Lillian and Guy]. He sure looks good in his whites. When we both get back, we’ll all have to have a big reunion Maybe Ted [Carl Theodore Renne m. Helen Beatrice Cavanaugh] will be back for a while by then, and Buddy can bring his gal friend and I’ll bring Ebbie and Sambo. That’s what Ebbie has nicknamed him and it will probably stick. Glad to hear about your love life Helen. It’s a hell of a thing when the next to the youngest of the bunch has to start the ball rolling. Maybe Martha [Sam's sister] and Carol [Carol Jean Shrum, d/o Lillian and Guy] will have a little outside interest then too. Damn I’m a vicious little cupid. Ha!
Well Helen there’s not much happening around here in the hospital to write about. We eat, sleep, and read the latest magazines (last July’s). Used to get enough practice on my German to give you some return competition on that Spanish you’re quoting me but can’t put it in this letter because the further behind the lines you get the bigger and better the spy scares go. They -- well I won’t say it, but I’ll be glad to get back to my outfit again anyway. Will write more later. Good luck to you Helen and write again. If you write in the next 3 weeks after you get this, write to the hospital and they’ll forward it. After that write to my outfit. [draws an arrow]

Hazel Kerk Murphy Wiesjahn (1891-1954) left a handwritten history of the Pulaski County, Indiana Murphy family. The black, leather-bound, composition notebook is replete with sketches of their houses; the Mooresburg store, church, and school; the Mill Creek Bridge; and even the phaeton of which Aunt Rachel was so fond. Hazel also recorded Fannie Graffis’ reminiscences of the Murphys. Fannie, born in 1868, was the granddaughter of Nathan Hunt Murphy & Martha Barbara Kerr. Hazel, Fannie’s first cousin once removed, was the great-granddaughter of Nathan & Martha Barbara.
A transcription of Hazel Kerk Murphy's "Across the Years, A Story of Our Ancestors" can be found at Blue River Genealogy: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rennemurphy/

Marilyn's K. Murphy's Notes & Collection of Obituaries and Newspaper Clippings:
Harrison Township had a very unexpected death Monday midnight. William K. Murphy, one of the oldest and best known residents of the county, fell while out on his farm about 10 o'clock Monday forenoon. He was carried to the house and a physician was summoned, but death resulted about fourteen hours later as stated, apoplexy being the cause. Mr. Murphy was born in Miami County, Ohio in May of 1835, making his age at death sixty-six years and six months. He came to this county in 1850 , and for fifty-one years has been known as one of its responsible farmer citizens. He was married in 1857 to Miss Sarah E. Shane. She died in 1873. In 1875 he married Miss Sarah C. Smith, and she died in 1885. He leaves four children, Nathan A. and Mattie by the first wife, and Charley and Lesley by the second. The funeral was from the Mooresburg M. E. church yesterday forenoon, services by Reverend Yount being followed by interment at the Mull cemetery.

Marilyn's K. Murphy's Notes & Collection of Obituaries and Newspaper Clippings:
From Marilyn's collection of obituaries:
"Mattie E. Murphy, daughter of W. K. and Elizabeth Murphy, was born at Mooresburg, Pulaski county, Ind., Nov. 18, 1861. She died at her childhood home Aug. 14, 1911, age 49 years, 8 months and 24 days.
When a child of five years she was baptised; later under the ministery of Rev. Burner she joined the Mooresburg Methodist church. She had continued a member until her death.
Three brothers are living, N. Arch, former treasurer of Pulaski county, Charles and Clyde. These with other relatives mourn her death.
She had been away from home for many years in business life in Winamac, Kewanna and later in Chicago. For several years her health had been failing, yet she bravely kept at her work. Twelve weeks ago she came home saying that she would rest up for a little while and then go back to her work again. Soon her family discovered that the dreaded consumption was claiming another victim. She was courageous and hoped to recover even after the physicians had said there seemed no hope.
Funeral services was conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. C. E. Beebee of Star City. She was buried in the family lot in the Mull cemetery two and a half miles east of her home.

MILTON W. VENARD is a native of Clinton County, Ohio, was born May 25, 1830, and is the son of Martin H. and Sarah (Lee) Venard, natives, respectively of Ohio and North Carolina. In 1834, the parents came to Indiana, locating in Fulton County, where for seven years they endured all the privations of frontier life. They then came to this township; in 1852, the father made a trip overland to California, returned after an absence of two years, and died at the age of sixty-six, a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He had been a Whig, but later became a Republican, and had served as County Commissioner both in Fulton and this county. Milton W. received his education at the pioneer schoolhouse, and worked on the home farm until he attained manhood. He then worked a year at wagon-making in Homer, Ill., and then returned to this township, where he now owns 320 acres of good land, all gained through his own industry. April 29, 1855, he married Miss Maria Borders, one of the seven children of Wesley and Sarah (Edson) Borders, and born October 19, 1838. To this union were born nine children, of whom six are living - Emma, Mary, Laura, Maud, Stella and Ada Pearl; the deceased are Schuyler Colfax, Edwin Grant and Celesta. Mr. Venard and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Nathan Hunt Murphey was born about 1804, probably in Michigan, to Mr. and Mrs. Murphey (his mother's name being Ovey or Oney). On 20 November 1831 Nathan Hunt married Martha Barbara Kerr, a Rockbridge County, Virginia girl (b. abt. 1807) who had moved with her family to Miami County, Ohio in the 1820’s. Nathan’s two brothers, William and James, at some point headed for Missouri. His sister Ancey (perhaps Nancey) drowned in the river behind their Ohio homestead. His sister Offa was scalped. His sister Polly married a Compton and it is said in the Murphy family that "Polly Murphy Compton was Aruna Compton’s grandmother." In the search for the ever-elusive parents of Nathan Hunt Murphy his marriage to Martha Barbara was found in the Miami County, Ohio records. Nathan and Martha Barbara settled in Pulaski County, Indiana (Mull Cemetery appears to be a favorite resting place for Murphys et.al.) In a further search of the Miami County records, Troy Lot #95 appears with some frequency. In 1818, an Edward Murphy bought or received the deed. In 1841, Allen and Elmira Murphy, James and William Murphy, and Nathan H. Murphy transferred or sold it. In 1842, Runion Compton must have had the deed in hand, because he sold or transferred Troy Lot #95. Runion’s marriage to Mary Murphy in 1818, is found in Miami County as well. It seems that Nathan H. purchased 150 acres for $2500 in Pulaski County, Indiana; so he probably needed the money from the Ohio properties. In searching the Pulaski County, Indiana Census records, Runyon Compton is listed as a fifty-six year old farmer, born in New Jersey and worth $2500 dollars. Also in household number 297, are wife Mary, 48 years old and Edward, 24, and George, age 6. Oney Murphy, aged 78, resides in the same household. Often Polly became a nickname for Mary; so perhaps Mrs. Murphey's one surviving daughter did indeed marry a Compton. Troy Lot #95 must have some family connection. Perhaps Mary Murphey is Polly; daughter to Oney and Mr. Murphey (maybe Edward), sister to Nathan Hunt, William & James, and the two little girls who died in the Ohio Territory when it was still a frontier.

"THE MURPHYS ACCORDING TO FANNIE GRAFFIS"
EARLY HISTORY
BY
HAZEL KERK MURPHY WIESJAHN
DAUGHTER OF NATHAN ARCHIBALD "ARCH" MURPHY & MARY E. "MOLLIE" VENARD
GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF MARTHA BARBARA KERR
Fan (as we all called her) lived with her grandmother [Martha Barbara Kerr Murphy] after Great Grand father [Nathan Hunt Murphy] died as did Will Dunn [s/o Martha E. Murphy, William Kerr Murphy’s sister, and wife of James M. Dunn] and one of the Doud boys. So Fan heard many stories of the family that the others didn’t know. I asked her one time to write them down for me. And what follows is what she wrote the year before she died:
"Nathan Hunt Murphy {a wagon maker, Tailor, Shoe maker} came to Indiana [Harrison Township, Pulaski County, Indiana] in 1837 and bought 160 A for $2500. Moved here in 1838 in February [though he and Martha Barbara and the kids are still on the 1850 Concord Twp, Miami Co, Ohio census]. There were two fields cleared. The one west of Deany Warfield’s house and the one north of that were clear. The field north of the house was an orchard. In March of 39 they commenced to get rough lumber for the Mooresburg M. E. Church. A Mr. Martin lived on the Dunn place and he helped Great Grandfather [Nathan Hunt Murphey] do the most of the carpenter work. They also furnished all the cash which was $125. The church was finished in one summer and they had church in it before Thanksgiving.
"Great Grandfather entered 120 acres. The 40 where Chas Mitchell’s house is now (1950). Vina Brown’s 40 and a 40 west of these. They sold it while I was at g. grandmother’s for $600 and divided it among the children (Mary, Rachel, Sarah Jane, Martha & Will). He also bought 80 acres where Harvey Hiatt lived for $300.
"Great Grandfather built a log house 7 years after he came to Ind. It stood in the Orchard north of Denny Warfield’s house. The barn was a log barn too and was South of the house.
"Preacher Doud bought the farm just West of where the church stood. He couldn’t make a living so the people asked him to preach. I don’t know how much they paid him but they bought him a cutaway coat suit costing $30 and a silk dress for his wife. He preached for 7 or 8 years untill he died. The Douds were so poor Uncle Wills [William Kerr Murphy] raised the oldest boy (Benny) and grandmother raised Birch.
"Uncle Ephraim Moore's people built the mill at Mooresburg. Later they sold and Uncle Will had a share. Mr. Borders and Uncle Eph (Ephraim Moore) built the Ways Mill and moved down there (north of where Starks live now 1950).
"My mother often told me about going down to the mill and how afraid she was as there were Lynx in the woods. They would often follow her and scream. I don’t blame her. It almost scared me to death when I heard one scream one time.
"Ma often told me about going to the Grandpap Slanes -- Aunt Elizabeth’s [Sarah Elizabeth Slane, first wife of William Kerr Murphy who died in 1873] Mother and father [Catharina and A. M. Slane]. They owned a butcher shop at Delphi. Ma told of going 3 times in one summer with Uncle Wills. They had cat fish in the shop so large grandpap would slice it like ham. A slice large enough to fill a platter.
"Mooresburg was a Burg when our folks came -- 1850. Had 2 dry goods stores and a blacksmith’s shop. One store was where Kennards house stands (Ralph Shrader lives there now). The other was where Orin Crane’s barn is now with the Blacksmith shop between the two. Jew Phillips run the one store and a Mr. Gossage the other. Jew moved to Winamac and run a store there for a long time.
"Jen Murphy (my aunt) [probably Sarah Jane Murphy, William’s sister] took it so hard the way grandpap Slane ate at the table. He always left his hat on, ate out of all the dishes just as tho it was a side dish for him, so Uncle Will told Jen to always give him a good helping of everything in a dish by his plate and I remember so well how he took it. He always called her Jinny. He said, "Why, Jinny, how thoughtful of you." So you see she had that problem solved.
"I must tell you a joke. Bob Crawfords kept house for Grandpap 2 or 3 years. A book agent came one day and Bob was drunk. He told the agent Grandpap was a tumbler in Barnium’s show. Grandpap was hard of hearing and did not understand what Bob was saying. The agent told Uncle Wills when he went there and did they joke Grandpap about being a tumbler.
"Grandpap Slane always came to visit Grandmother Murphy every 2 or 3 months. He told her one time that the people from "Virginie" were so much smarter than those in Ind. Said he went to Illinois to visit his brother and that the people there said nag instead of "hoss." Once Grandpap told Uncle Will his eyes were so bad he saw two objects instead of one. Uncle asked him if he saw two grandmothers and he said no if he did he would leave home! He had been married 2 times.
"Martha Barbra Kerr Murphy 1806-1867 was one of 8 children 7 girls 1 boy all born in Southern Virginia. They crossed the famous Natural Bridge of VA. on their way to school.
Rachel Ann Kerr Knoop - oldest - 6 children
Barbara Kerr Saunders - 0
John Kerr - not married
Emma Kerr Scott - 5 children
Fannie Kerr Scott - 3 "
Allie Kerr Hance - 2 "
Arena Kerr Black - 3 "
Harriett Kerr Hathaway - 2 "
Sarah Kerr Thierkield - 4"
Mary Kerr - not married
"Martha, Arena Black, Harriet Hathaway were college graduates. John Kerr was a lawyer -- studied law at Troy, Ohio. Went to Salt Lake City & came to visit Martha in 1885.
"When the Kerr family lived in Virginia the family owned 1200 slaves and farmed or managed several hundred acres. When they moved to Troy, Ohio all the slaves were freed. Martha (GG) was 20 years old. 3 of the slaves came with the Kerrs as they were afraid they could not make a living without the master. They, the colored families, lived in hollow Sycamore trees untill they could build houses. Many colored people lived along the river in these large trees some of them 10 feet across.
"In 1826 when the Kerrs moved to Troy there was a large fort and for 2 years the whites slept in the fort watched by 8 guards. The Indians were very savage to the whites but left the colored folks alone. Martha Barbara was married when she was 23 (1829). They moved to Indiana in 1850 1838 with their four children Rachel, Mary, Wm and Martha.
"Nathan Murphy died at 56 with Hydrophobia. The Dr gave him heavy doses of morphine. He lived 5 days it took two men to take care of him. He learned the shoe maker’s trade. When his daughter Mary was 7 he made her a pair of shoes, one shoe had a round toe and the other one a square toe. He learned the wagon maker’s trade and there is where he made his money. In the summer he farmed some. Put out 80 A of corn in the river bottom and 12 acres of flax on higher ground. He always kept a hand and they boarded 2 Clark boys & Jim Murphy, Grandfather’s brother.
"Grandmother [Martha Barbara Kerr Murphy] had a colored woman do the washing and ironing and a colored man tend the garden. They baked their yeast bread in an outside oven built in the back yard. And their corn bread in the fireplace.
"The Miami River flowed back of their barn and the children fished in that and caught many a mess of fish.
"Twice while they lived there the river flooded and washed out their corn by the roots. All the corn they had to feed the stock those winters was what washed down around the Sycamore trees, but it kept the stock through although they did not keep very much stock. They usually raised 4 or 500 bushels and sold it to a distillery across the river.
"Nathan (Grandfather) [Nathan Hunt Murphy] had 3 sisters and two Brothers. William & Jim lived in Missouri. The girls were Oney, Offa & Polly Murphy Compton (Aruna Compton’s grand mother). Oney died while they lived in Ohio. Offa was scalped by the Indians and died. Grandfather’s mother was named Ovey and is burried in the Mull Cemetary [Pulaski County, Indiana].
"There was no draft in Harrison Twp [Indiana] for the Civil War. They paid $1000 and that exempted all men in the Township. All that went volunteered.
"Great Grandmother [Martha Barbara] had an ettiquette book which she prized very highly. She said it was essential to know all about ettiquette so she made the girls study the book. The book had been bought in Virginia.
"When people went to Winamac in those days there was no bridge to cross the river but Tunises had a boat at their crossing South of Dead Mans Hollow so people that walked went by way of Tunises. There were fords where one could drive a team. Aunt Mary told of seeing very beautiful trees in full bloom along the river in the spring. The flowers looked like Holly hocks.
"Once Aunt Mary walked to Winamac to buy a BROOM. She took Caroline Venard with her for company but Winamac was out of brooms and so was Star City. So grandmother made 2 out of green hickory which Ma said did very well.
"All grain was hauled to Logansport while Grandfather [Nathan Hunt] lived and Mary went with him spring & fall to do the trading. They went one day and came back the next and tried to buy things to last six months.
"Grandmother M [Martha Barbara] was a big woman she had a double abdomen and was very uncomfortable in hot weather. [Fan (Graffis) stayed there 10 years and received 25 cents a week for helping Aunt Jane (Sarah Jane Murphy) take care of her. She was away from home only once during the 10 years.]
"The folks from Ohio came to visit and they all went to Will’s [William Kerr Murphy, s/o Nathan Hunt and Martha Barbara]. They brought a bobsled on the grass and G. M. [Grandmother Murphy - Martha Barbara] rode in the sled.
"She liked to knit and made stockings for the rest of the family. Bill Dunn [s/o Martha E. Murphy and James Dunn; grandson of Martha Barbara and Nathan Hunt Murphy] said she smoked a pipe -- none of the rest of the family ever mentioned it!!!

GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF MARTHA BARBARA KERR
RACHEL
Aunt R was the oldest of the family. She had two husbands. Her first husband’s name was Eph Moore. When he died there were 2 children -- Lillian Day and Nathan. Her second husband was David Hastings one of the highly esteemed men of the church and community. Known to every one as Uncle David -- never Dave -- always David.
She was also the fattest of the family. Her voice was fine and sharp. Grandfather had a big rocking chair bought to fit a fat man and Aunt R filled it all up when she sat in it.
How well she liked to hitch her pony to the phaeton and come down to spend the day. in She always picked a nice warm summer day. She was quite a good seamstress and loved to piece quilts. So all the family took their scraps to her and she made many fancy comforter tops and quilts.
The Post Office used to be in her house before the Mooresburg Store was built. In the early days Aunt Mary G used to ride a horse to Star City for the mail twice once a week after the rail road was built through to Chicago. A letter must have been a real event in those days and a daily paper something undreamed of.
Aunt Mary and Aunt Jane attended college at Valparaiso. It was a Methodist college then and they roomed with the Methodist preacher while there. Aunt Jane’s beau never came back from the Army War of 61 so she never married. She was a good seamstress learning the Tailors trade and sewing for the Winamac tailor for several years. In later years she devoted her time to being a good cook and excellent housekeeper for her widowed brother. She not only liked to cook fancy things but she enjoyed eating them as much well as anyone. In the winter time she used to make a sweet bread seasoned with cinnamon that she called Russian bread. It was as good as cake. I never saw a recipe for it. So I think is was one of her own inventions. Like so many older folks she liked cookies and her favorite was a spiced sugar cookie with a scalloped edge. They always tasted the same -- and I never saw a burned or scorched product that she made.

GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF MARTHA BARBARA KERR
MARY
A M was a very pious person. Her husband had died shortly after the war and left her with L L F E, four small children. She packed them up and came back to G Grandmother. G[randfather] gave her 40 acres beside his she built a cabin and raised her family with the aid of a pension.
After G Gfather died she let one of her girls stay with G Gmother until she died.
A. M. was very much interested in politics and what the govt was doing. How Congress was going to do this or that. She took a daily paper and read a great deal. About twice a year she would come to our house and explain it all to mother. Father read all those things but didn’t take time to explain them to the family and mother was so busy cooking 3 meals a day, doing all the sewing and mending, washing and ironing for 5 and sometimes 6 that she didn’t have any time left for the ups & downs problems [of the nation] ups & downs of the nation. The country church and school were all the farther she she was could vitally interested in give time for. Anyway Washington and Congress seemed a long way off.
When Grandfathers first wife died A. M. brought her family united it with Gfs 3 and kept house for him for a couple of years. She wasn’t too good a cook and father used to say A. M. always burned something when she cooked a meal, and if she was only cooking one thing she would burn that!
The children had a fine time and often talked of the things they did together. One of the big achievements of my father and Ed Graffis was to make a little wagon wheels and all. How they prized that wagon. I wonder if the boys of today would have as much engunity as that. Sometimes I doubt it.
[A. M.] Loved her church and was a faithful attendant until rheumatism crippled her until so she was not able to get there. She took her R very seriously and felt a deep interest in the spiritual life of the community. She favored new things to bring interest into the meetings like -- The organ piano and music and thought it quite a joke when Charly Dunn played a Solo on a horn coronet and oone of the oldest trustees got up in meeting and said "It was time to dehorn the church".
The pioneers were sturdy strong and God fearing and instilled that into their children and hoped they would hand it on down to each generation as they came along.

Half of its forces were captured and the prisoners were held for many months at Tyler, Texas. John mustered out on 21 September 1864. The Civil War widow’s pension was filed in 1877.
L, L, F, and E - "Lizzie," Lucy, Fannie, and Ed (?)
The Girl Who Stayed with Great Grandmother - Fannie Graffis was twelve years old in 1880 where she is listed on the Census in the same household as her grandmother, Martha Barbara Kerr.
Ed Graffis - speculating that this is "Lizzie," Lucy, and Fannie’s brother Edward of whom there is no record ... yet
Charly Dunn - perhaps this is a brother to William Dunn, William (b. 1860) is the son of Martha E. Murphy (Aunt Martha in Hazel’s reminiscences, Mary’s sister) and James Dunn. William is Hazel’s first cousin one time removed.

"The Murphys According to Fannie Graffis"
Early History by Hazel Kerk Murphy Wiesjahn
[The author, Hazel, is the daughter of Nathan Archibald "Arch" Murphy and Mary E. "Mollie" Venard. She is the granddaughter of William Kerr Murphy and Sarah Elizabeth Slane; and the great granddaughter of Nathan Hunt Murphy and Martha Barbara Kerr.]
AUNT MARTHA
Aunt Martha was not here very often. She had married young to James Dunn who soon died leaving one son Will. Aunt M brought him home to live with G.G. and Aunt Mary untill he was old enough to go to college. He worked his way through DePaw and became the only Methodist preacher in the family.
His mother remarried but did not live near the rest of the folks. She was small and had curly bangs.
One summer she came home to visit the relatives spending two or three weeks at each home. After she left we didn’t hear anything about her untill her death.
It was quite an event one summer when Fan and Aunt Jane went to visit Will Dunn when he was preaching in Terre Haute.

Regimental History:
Twenty-sixth Infantry INDIANA
(3 years)
Twenty-sixth Infantry. Cols., William M. Wheatley, John G. Clark; Lieut.-Cols., Richard O'Neal, John G. Clark, Augustine D. Rose, Newton A. Logan; Majs., John G. Clark, Augustine D. Rose, Harvey Johnson, Newton A. Logan, Alden H. Jumper.
This regiment was organized at Indianapolis and was mustered in Aug. 31, 1861. It left the state Sept. 7, and reported at St. Louis, where it joined Fremont's forces in the
campaign to Springfield.
It returned to Sedalia and engaged in railroad guard duty until July 1862, when it moved with the army into southern Missouri, engaging in the battles at Newtonia, Prairie Grove, Ark., and Van Buren. At Prairie Grove it was conspicuously
engaged, losing heavily.
It was on guard duty until May 1, 1863, and was then ordered to join Grant's army at Vicksburg, where it was actively engaged in the trenches until the surrender. It went up the Yazoo river in July, recaptured Yazoo City, was stationed at Port Hudson after its surrender, and subsequently at Carrolton, La.
The regiment was engaged at Stirling's Plantation, near Morganza, where it was defeated and had almost half its force captured, the prisoners being taken to Tyler,
Tex., and held for many months.
The regiment accompanied Gen. Herron's expedition to Texas in October, landing at Brazos Santiago and moving to Brownsville on the Mexican frontier.
It reenlisted Feb. 1, 1864, and was on a furlough during April. It returned to the field in Louisiana on June 1, and was assigned to garrison duty at Fort Butler where it remained until the spring of 1865. On Feb. 18, 1865, the recruits of the 60th regiment were transferred to the 26th, and the regiment was ordered to Mobile in March as part of the 16th corps, participating in the siege and assault upon Spanish Fort.
Upon the occupation of Mobile after its surrender, the regiment was assigned to duty in the city, but was subsequently moved to Meridian, Miss., and thence to Macon. A
detachment of those whose term had expired was mustered out in Sept. 1865, and the remainder was mustered out Jan. 15, 1866.
The original strength was 1,024; gain by recruits, 725; reenlistments, 248; total. 1,997. Loss by death, 336; desertion, 38; unaccounted for, 36.

Benjamin Franklin “Ben” Butler was born on the 26th of November 1860 on the Pendleton Farm in Trimble County, Kentucky. He died March 17, 1926 in Trimble County and was buried at Moffett Cemetery on that high ridge in Trimble County that overlooks the Ohio River.
Mark Collis Butler, Junior relates in "The Butler & Farley Families of Trimble County, Kentucky" that "Joseph Forest and Nancy Jane Pendleton Butler were last mentioned as newly married and living with her parents on the Pendleton Farm. Their first child Benjamin Franklin was born there on 26 February 1860.”
In 1859 Joseph Forest Butler married Nancy Jane Pendleton (the Butler and Pendleton families being not unwealthy farmers in Trimble County Kentucky). The young newlyweds move in with Nancy Jane's parents Robert H. and Sarah "Sally" Peak Pendleton and in February of 1860 their son, Benjamin Franklin Butler, is born on the Pendleton Farm on the banks of the Little Kentuck River.
Throughout the years, seven more children (Sallie, Mary, Charley, Joseph, Ely, John and Mark C.) are born to Joseph F. and Nancy Jane.
Robert H. Pendleton and Robert's son, John R. Pendleton, were staunch supporters of the Confederacy. Ben’s father, Joseph F. Butler served with the 54th Kentucky Mounted Infantry (a Kentucky Union regiment) while Ben's uncle John R. Pendleton gave his life for the South in his first encounter with the Yankees at the Battle of Mount Sterling.
The War ends and, blood being thicker than water, Robert H., wife Sally, and assorted other Pendletons and Butlers head to Missouri in 1866. 1870 sees them back in Trimble County on Robert H's farm in Cooper's Bottom below Milton. Five years later Joseph F. Butler and his wife Nancy Jane Pendleton Butler strike out on their own by purchasing a farm in the Liberty neighborhood of Trimble County where a fifteen year-old Ben is probably setting the tobacco plants or pruning fruit trees on his father’s fine farm of 147 acres.
One can only speculate on how Ben filled the ensuing years, but there is a burgeoning household in 1880 in Trimble County where eighteen year-old Ben is the oldest son working on the farm for his father. Sallie, fifteen, and Mary, twelve, are both attending school. Charles is nine. Joseph is six. There is a little brother named Carp who is three. And, baby brother John is the youngest at age two.
[Ben's grandchildren, Bula Fay Butler and Benjamin Franklin Curry, remember that his first wife was named Lillie and that Ben and Lillie had two little girls, Allie and Mary.]
When Ben was twenty-seven he courted then married nineteen year-old Lillian Clara Trout on the 18th of October 1888. Ben and Lillie lived on a farm near Milton in Trimble County, Kentucky. Lillie and Ben's children were Allie, who was born the 16th of August 1890; Mary who was born the 2nd of March 1893; and Laura Brook. Baby Laura was born on the 19th of July 1894 and lived only a few weeks. She died on the 9th of August. Her mother, Lillie Clara, died on October 15th, only a few months after having given birth to Laura Brook. Lillie Clara was buried at Moffett Cemetery.
[Benjamin Franklin Curry, grandson of Benjamin Franklin Butler and son of Allie Butler and E. H. Curry, provided a copy of Mary Brook and Ben’s marriage certificate.]
"This is to certify that Benjamin F. Butler and Mary Brook Troute were united by me in Holy Matrimony at her home on the Sixth day of November in the year of our Lord 1895 in Presence of G. L. Cooper and Ida M. Cooper. Signed James E. Payne"
Ben was thirty-four and Mary Brook was twenty-one when their marriage was witnessed by Mary Brook's uncle Gibson L. Cooper and his wife Ida M. A bit more than a year later, William Franklin Butler was born on the 15th of October 1896. Mary and Allie had a little brother. Sadly though, within his first four years in Trimble County, William lost a baby brother or sister. In that same time span, Mary Brook also lost her uncle Gibson L Cooper and her grandfather Lindsey Anderson Cooper.

According to the same 1900 U. S. Census of West Milton Township, widowed, twenty-nine year-old Ida M. Cooper, is living with her widowed mother-in-law, Matilda Ann Cooper. Matilda is Matilda Ann Luckett Cooper, widow of Lindsey Anderson Cooper. Matilda and Lindsey are the parents of Ruhama Cooper and the grandparents of the four Trout sisters. Ida M. is the widow of Gibson L. Cooper - Ruhama‘s brother and Mary Brook's uncle. Gibson L. and Ida M. Cooper were witnesses at Ben’s and Mary Brook Trout’s wedding.
In 1900 thirty-nine year-old Ben is farming in West Milton Township with his wife of five years, twenty-six year-old Mary Brook. Nine year-old Allie has been joined by three year-old William. Allie’s little sister and William’s big sister, seven year-old Mary, is living with her grandparents, William Francis and Ruhama Cooper Trout and the children‘s seventeen year-old aunt, Daisy June Trout.
Only a year after that census was taken, Mary Brook died on 27 November 1901. She and Ben had been married just six years. Mary Brook is also buried at Moffett Cemetery
Ben's children, Allie, thirteen; Mary, eleven; and William, seven, found a new mother when Ben married Brook Baker in 1903. And William finally got a little brother for his birthday that year when George was born on October 22nd. Five years later, Bula B. was born on May 14, 1908.
