7051 Henry Alden, according to The Mayflower Descendant, is not descended from the Mayflower John Alden. After devoting 4 issues to his descendants they state, "because these Aldens are not Mayflower descendants, we are not pursuing further research on them." ALDEN, Henry (I17786)
 
7052 Henry Anderson, fifth and youngest son of the original Walter, was a baby in the arms of his mother when the family came to Long Point. He was born into the world in time to secure a vested right to land as a son of a U.E. Loyalist, and when he grew up he drew a lot near Lynedoch. Henry also served as a District Councillor. He was a hard worker and a man of business. He built a grist-mill east of Vittoria, and he and his brother John operated a large distillery business. He died in 1873, in his 76th year, from injuries received in a road accident while returning from port Rowan, having gone to that village on a matter of business. He, like John, never married, the two brothers having lived at the old homestead with their sister Rebecca. ANDERSON, Henry (I26027)
 
7053 Henry Burt was a prosperous clothier and landholder, who had his own flock of sheep and owned at his death a considerable stock of cloth and yard. The entire estate was appraised at L 602.7.9. In his will he gave 30s to the poor of the parish of Harberton, and bequeathed to his wife Isett; his sons Henry and John; his daughters Raddegan (under21), Allies (Alice), Agnes and Elizabeth (all under 20); another daughter Johan, wife of Christine (Crispin) Saunder(s); his grandchildren, Joseph and Samuel Saunders; his brothers' and sisters' children and others. BURT, Henry (I1801)

7055 Henry was about 4 months old when he first come to Montgomery County, IA with his mother and he returned with her to Illinois at the age of 17 months. His mother died 2 months later of consumption (tuberculosis). Frank lived with his maternal grandparents while his father returned to the farm in Iowa. After his father remarried, they took Frank back to Iowa with them. He was about 3 years old then. He remained on the farm a short time after his father and stepmother left to live in Red Oak, IA.

7057 Henry's obituary entitled "Death of H. H. LaRue" states:
Early in the evening, H.H. LaRue, who owned an old flat bottom boat, began the work of getting his stock on the bottom out of danger. He was assisted in the work from time to time by T.O. Bell, superintendent of water works, who had gone to the pump station and remained there trying to fill the big tank until the advance of the water made further effort useless. He was then taken off in the boat by Mr. LaRue and the two got all the stock in and started for home. Evidently Mr. LaRue concluded afterwards that he could do some good at the Fair grounds, as he was shortly afterward assisting the unfortunates there. Some of these had taken refuge in the grand stand and were really in a dangerous plight, as the water was ten feet deep in front of them and no one could tell whether or not the structure would withstand the force of the flood. It was after 1 o’clock when this work was finished and Mr. LaRue decided to start for home. He called for some one to help him and Millard Jackson, a young man living east of town, volunteered. Young Jackson says the trip was made without incident until they reached the vicinity of the pump station. Jackson was rowing and LaRue was holding a lantern and directing the course of the boat. The latter then said, "I know where we are now. Look out for the electric wire," referring to the lines running to the pump station. The water was high enough to take them close to it. He had scarcely uttered the words when the boat carried them against the wire. LaRue threw up his hand and the wire touched his hand, burning the flesh to the bone. Death must have been instantaneous. He fell overboard and Jackson made an unsuccessful effort to catch him. Jackson kept shouting to cut the wires and word was finally sent to the electric plant and the lights shut off. The young man then made his way to shore. By daylight the work of recovering the body was begun and it was after 11 o’clock when Wilt Devore, one of a party on a raft constructed for the purpose, found it. It was taken to Boham’s undertaking establishment.

Sad Death of H. H. LaRue

Henry Howitt LaRue, eldest son of Franklin and Amelia (Chapin) LaRue, was born in Stockbridge, Michigan, July 11, 1852, and passed from this life at the age of 51 years, 1 month, and 16 days on Thursday morning, August 27, at about 2 o’clock.
Mr. LaRue was educated in the public schools of Lansing, Michigan, and the Wesleyan University at Bloomington, Ill., having removed with his parents to McLean county, Illinois in 1864. In February of 1873 he with his father removed from Illinois to Mercer township in this county for the purpose of improving tracts of land previously purchased by them.
After farming summers and teaching school winters for several years, he decided to sell his land and go into the lumber business. Realizing the importance of a thorough knowledge of the business in which he had decided to embark he entered the employ of Mr. Ralph Newcomb, and soon rose to be foreman of the yard and when the opportunity came to purchase the Beymer yard he did so and launched out into business for himself, remaining at the same stand for about twenty years. The great Corning fire swept away everything in his lumber yard, but with characteristic courage and energy he began rebuilding as soon as the smouldering embers were distinguished.
He was married to Miss Emeline L. Jennings of McLean county, Illinois in January 1883. To this union were born three children, two of which, Ida A. and Albertus Franklin, together with the mother survive him. The other child Roy Joseph died in infancy. He also leaves a father, a brother, Frank, and two sisters, Mrs. Fred Kennon and Miss Myra LaRue, and a host of other relatives. His mother and four sisters having preceded him to the other side.
He was a faithful, consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, serving the local church in an official capacity for many years. He also served on the city council for several years, doing excellent work in the best interests of the community. Strong in his convictions of right and wrong, courageous in a marked degree, a man of broad education and information, of high ideals and strictest integrity of character. This community as well as his immediate family has met with an inreparrable loss in his untimely end.
The funeral will be held from the M. E. church at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. Interment in Walnut Grove cemetery.

Died

Henry Howitt LaRue, an account of whose tragic death is given elsewhere in this paper, was born at Stockbridge, Mich., July 11, 1852. He was the eldest son of Franklin and Amelia (Chapin) LaRue. His parents removed in 1864 to McLean county, Ill., and he received his education at Weslyan University at Bloomington. In February, 1873, he came with his father to this county for the purpose of improving tracts of land in Mercer township which they had purchased. Several years later he decided to go into the lumber business and entered the employ of Ralph Newcomb. Later he bought the Beymer lumber business yard and for twenty years had been in business at the same location in Corning. His entire yard was destroyed by the big fire of 1896, but he immediately began the work of rebuilding and was soon in business again. He was married January, 1883, in McLean county, Ill., to Miss Emeline L. Jennings and three children were born to them. Ida C. and Albertus Franklin are still living with their mother, Roy Joseph having died in infancy. His father, his brother Frank and two sisters, Mrs. Fred Kennon and Miss Myra LaRue, also survive him.
Mr. LaRue was one of the most useful citizens Corning has ever had. Broadly charitable, always ready to assist in public improvement or private charity, a hard worker for those in whom he interested himself as well as in his own business, he was a man of more than ordinary helpfulness and usefulness. Few men there are who would respond more willingly to appeals of a reasonable nature and fewer still who would bring the energy and the ability to the work after the first response. The work he was engaged in the night he lost his life is only an instance of his disposition to work and work hard for the relief of those in distress and this same disposition was displayed many times during the years of his residence here. He was a member of the city council several years and rendered valuable service in that capacity. The community has lost one of its most valuable members, a man of strong and courageous convictions, of wide information and high character, of wide information and high character, and the terrible manner of his death only adds to the general grief.
The funeral was held Sunday morning from the Methodist church of which the deceased had long been a faithful member. A very brief service was previously held at the house. The services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Shipman assisted by Rev. J. A. Lovejoy at the home, by Rev. C. A. Haskett, who read the scripture lessons at the church, and Rev. M. V. Higbee, who led in prayer. The singing was conducted by a male quartette, consisting of Pierce Metz, J. E. Carmichael, Walter Newcomb and A. Ray Maxwell. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Shipman, from the text, "Be ye therefore also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh," to a congregation that filled every part of the church including the aisles and vestibule, and a very large number were unable to get into the church. The pall bearers were Ralph Newcomb, A. B. Turner, I. T. Homan, John Gillet, E. H. Sheppard and F. M. Davis. After the impressive service in the church, the casket was interred in the Walnut Grove cemetery.

7063 HISTORY OF R. C. HENDRICK & SON
Originating in 1876 from the ambitious drive of a young mason mechanic the firm of R. C. Hendrick & Son has grown and expanded over three generations.
The founder, Rodger Clancy Hendrick, at the age of 21, came to Michigan and began his own business as Mason Contractor, doing work in Saginaw, Flint and Caro as well as other parts of Michigan.

In those days the urge of the growing West was an attraction. Texas held its appeal for young Hendrick; accordingly, he set out for Fort Worth and is responsible for the construction of certain buildings in that city. Brownsville, Fort Griffin and Fort Smith also have traces of Hendrick's work. The present owners of the firm treasure a photograph of a brick Court House built by Rodger Clancy at Fort Smith, Texas in 1880.

After five years in Texas, Mr. R. C. Hendrick returned to Saginaw and continued in the Mason Contracting business. In 1890 he took as partner Anthony Geisman and formed the partnership of Hendrick and Geisman, Mason Contractors. This partnership was dissolved some years later upon the death of Mr. Geisman. Rodger's sister, Tessie Hendrick, who later joined the Order of Sisters of Charity, was his bookkeeper. Sister Pelagia Hendrick died in September 1954 in Baltimore, Maryland at the age of 93.

It was in 1905 that the firm acquired the present name of R. C. Hendrick & Son. In that year Edward P. Hendrick, eldest son and a student of Architecture, joined the company. In 1915, however, Edward and his family moved to Detroit where he started in business with his son.

At this time Joseph Phillip, youngest son of Rodger C. Hendrick returned from Chicago. Gaining experience of the business as a mason by day and nightly attending the classes in Architectural drafting at the Chicago Art Institute were part of a regular routine for young Joe. As a result, when he joined his father's business, he was a fully capable craftsman. From the beginning, Joseph took an active interest in the contracting business, which had expanded and developed into the General Contracting field and many structures were erected by the firm in various parts of central, eastern and northern Michigan.
In November 1937 Rodger Clancy Hendrick died and Joseph assumed the responsibilities of the thriving business with a proficient hand.

In 1946 William Arthur, second son of Joseph P., returned from Naval, Seabee and Radar duty in the South Pacific to join the company. William is a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Notre Dame in the School of Engineering. Roger Joseph, eldest son, received an appointment to West Point Military Academy in 1940 while attending Notre Dame University. He graduated from West Point in 1944 with Engineering honors and was assigned to the South Pacific Theatre of War. He was with General MacArthur's forces when the United States Army entered Japan. In 1949 Roger Joseph returned to Saginaw as a Captain, retired from regular Army duty and joined his father's firm.

Larry Francis, third son, is presently studying Architecture at the University of Notre Dame.

Over the past 80 years the R. C. Hendrick & Son company has weathered days of depression, war years of labor and material shortages, and endured past and present day competition.

The business standards developed by Rodger Clancy Hendrick and steadfastly adhered to by his successors has always been to construct and turn over to the Owner a building which represents nothing less than the best in supervision, workmanship and materials. This reputation of honesty, sincerity and integrity could well be the slogan of the firm which has earned widespread respect as a pioneer in the building progress of our great State of Michigan and the United States of America.

7068 Horace Phillips died as an inmate of the State Hospital South in Blackfoot, Idaho where he had been for at least 20 years. At the time of his death he was 68 years old, the cause of death is bronchial pneumonia, other contributing causes are listed as his age and partial paralysis. PHILLIPS, Ralph Horace (I1107)
 
7069 Horatio is shown living with his mother-in-law Margaret Payton, with him is his son Henry M., age 3. Margaret, born Sep 28, 1859 is not shown although she is in the household in the 1870 census.
In the household is Margaret's daughter Isabela, age 18, whom Horatio marries as his second wife.

7070 Household Examination birth dates use roman numerals, I believe it gives the birth month as XII OLSSON, Eric (I22149)
 
7071 Household examination records state that Eric died on Jul 31, 1839, 12 days after his 23 year old daughter and 5 days before his 16 year old son. In the course of 2 1/2 weeks this family of 7 lost 3 members. I am unable to find the death record for Eric, but I do find the records for his children. The death records for Sunnano show 1 death in May of that year, 2 in June, 11 in July and 22 in August. The cause of death for almost all is listed as "rodsot" or dysentery. Whatever this epidemic was, it was particularly harsh for this small village. PERSSON, Eric (I22092)

7075 Hugh of Gloucester, probably a Welchman, came with Rev. Richard Blinman and first sat down, 1640, at Marshfield, removing next year to Lynn, perhaps only for short season, was freeman 27Dec1642, when he was of G. selectman 1643-8, rep 1650-2 but removed to New London before beginning to serve under this last election and was selectman and rep. half the years of his redisence there, and town elk. for all, removed 1662 to Norwich, and was the first deacon on oraniz. the the ch. rep. also for this town 1663 and 1664. CALKINS, Deacon Deacon Hugh (I4305)
 
7076 I am having some trouble sorting out the children of Jane, first married Samuel Andrews, second married Arthur Mackworth. Records state that she and Samuel arrived aboard "The Increase" in 1635 with two daughters, Jane, age 3 and Elizabeth, age 2. Some records also show that their daughter Philippa was b. ca 1631, which is not possible if the ship records are correct. Another record shows a son, James, b. ca 1625 which is also not possible. The Felt Genealogy lists a son, Samuel b. at Casco Bay. This would put his birth between their arrival in 1635 and the death of Samuel Adams in 1637. In her will she mentions "in consideration of a marriage that hath been betwixt my daugher Phillipe and George Felt.." Will also mentions a son, James Andrews. A neighbor testified that on his death bed Arthur Makeworth desired his wife to dispose of his estate equally as could be between "her former husband's children and the children between them." UNKNOWN, Jane (I14334)
 
7077 I am not sure whether Gustave was married once or twice. In the 1930 census he states he is 43 and was first married at age 31 or 12 years prior. His wife, Edith states she is 24 as was first married at age 16, 6 years prior. Also listed is a daughter Margaret who's age is given as 15. There is a 6 year gap between Margaret and her nearest sibling. In 1917 when Gustave signs up for the draft he states he is single and has no dependents, which doesn't seem to include Margaret. Family: Gustave Adolph SATTERLEE / Edith M. HENDRICKSON (F3780)
 
7078 I believe Huldah was married at least 3 times; Robbins, Lindman and Spicer. She married for the first time at age 16. Hulda was a widow with 6 sons when she married Asa. Family: Asa Holmes SPICER, II / Hulda M PAGE (F4465)
 
7079 I believe that Sara Vagen is not the mother of Alice Olson Storlie. In the 1900 and 1910 census Halvor and Sara consistently give answers that place the date of their marriage at about 1873, 5 years after the birth of Alice. In both the 1900 and 1910 census Sara is listed as having borne 7 children, 6 of whom were living. Those numbers would not include Alice. On Alice's death certificate the spot for "maiden name of mother" is filled in with "not known," the informant is Hans Wahl, Alices' husband. On the death certificate of Anna Olson Storlie the name (although not maiden) name of Anna's mother is listed as Sara. OLSON STORLIE, Alice (I9584)
 
7080 I can't determine the exact date of Torger's birth except that he was the 18th birth that year and it or his baptism occurred on the 23rd of the month. Number 19 on a following page is clearly October 30. There is something that occurs earlier on the page listed in October, so I am reasonably certain Torger was born October 23, 1791.
His father is listed as Aadne Kraagedals which would be his "farm" name; Aadne from Kraagedal. His mother is not listed, the other names are sponsors. 
AADNESEN, Torger (I26762)
 
7081 I can't figure out Karen/Catherine Wahl. The Knutson gedcom lists her as married to a Mr. Senstad. I find a Catherine Sensted in the 1920 census at New Market Township, she is a 40 year old widow, b. MN. Her children are listed as Olgxxx(illegible), 15; Ester, 16; Glifford or Clifford, 14; Alf, 12; Inga, 9; Leda, 7, Calxxxer, 4. In 1930 at New Market I find Catherine Olson, 51, wife of Gilbert Olson, 51 with two children: Kelmar Sinsteadt, 13 and Inga 20.
This seems like the right person but way too old.
The Knutson gedcom also lists Gilbert Olson as marrying a Catherine Beckstrom in 1928. So the Catherine part and date seems right but not the name.
Catherine Olson, wife of Gilbert, is listed in burial records at West Christiania Cemetery as having lived 1878-1962 (again too young for parents Ole and Inger.) 
WAHL, Catherine (I9599)
 
7082 I cannot explain the appearance of two children named Anna Maria that both survive to adulthood. I have e-mailed the researcher but have not received a response. SCHLINK, Anna Maria (I15066)
 
7083 I cannot explain the appearance of two children named Anna Maria that both survive to adulthood. I have e-mailed the researcher but have not received a response. SCHLINK, Anna Maria (I15065)
 
7084 I Christopher Pearson of Ullock in the parish of Dean and County of Cumberland being weak in Body yet perfect in mind and memory doe therefore make my last Will and Testament in manner as followeth - First I commit my spirit to God and my body to be buryed at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and as to the Settling of that small estate it hath pleased the Lord to lend to me I give and bequeath the same as followeth that is to say : I give my son Peter Pearson one shilling in full of my personnell estate haveing preferred him before: I give to my loveing wife Ellinor twenty shillings and one Bedding of Cloathes and a Bedstead in the Back left. And all the rest of my Goods and Chattells moveable and unmoveable I give and bequeath to my son John Pearson whom I make sole executor of this my last Will and Testament he paying and discharging my Debts legacies and funerall Expenses. In witness whereof I have herunto this my last will set my hand and seale this seventeeth day of March Ano Domni" PEARSON, Christopher (I3436)
 
7085 I find a Mary M. Barnett, b. IL, age 9 in the 1860 census of Newton, Whiteside, IL. She is listed with what appears to be her mother, Laura, age 35 with a number of other people on a farm. The head of the household is A. L. Barney. There is no other person with the last name Barnett in the household and no person that appears old enough to be Laura's parent. I do not know if this is "my" Mary Barnett. BARNETTE, Mary Martha (I16972)
 
7086 I find an Anna McPherson, age 13 living with the Henry and Margaret Heiser family in Mishawaka, Indiana. This would be around the time that her mother died, perhaps she is living with a relative. Mishawaka is a long way from Knox County and some quick research on the family does not show any links, so this might not be Permelia at all.

Aaron McPherson is enumerated by himself in Paoli, IN. 
MCPHERSON, Permelia A. (I26370)
 
7087 I find records of a Frank Koudelka who fits the profile (birthdate/place) of this Frank residing in Alameda Co., California. He is married to an Olive Crotzer, they have two children, Lester (1901-1958) and Alice (1903-?). His occupation is as a cigar maker. I do not know whether this is "my" Frank or not, needs more research. KOUDELKA, Frank (I19344)
 
7088 I have 5 paintings done by Mary, 4 oils and 1 appears to be chalk or pencil. One hung in our family home for most of my life and I acquired the others after her death.

Researchers on ancestry.com consistently give the parents of Edna Pearl King as James Robert King and Leona Welden but the records are full of inconsistencies. One researcher has Leona married 3 times, to Robert King, Hezekiah McGinnis and then Charles Yoemans. This is impossible as the King and McGinnis marriages are simultaneous. Further Hezekiah and Leona McGinnis are alive and well in Kentucky during the 1920 census. Hezekiah and Leona are listed as having been married 7 years in the 1900 census (this while the King marriage is still producing children.) Leona is enumerated in the 1910 census in Indianapolis, IN along with her daughters Mary and Bernice King. She is listed as Divorced (and Leona and Hezekia McGinnis are still in Kentucky at this time). I believe these were all put together using ancestry's dancing leaves that urge one to connect records and people with no real research or thought.

In fact Leona was married 4 times but never to Hezekiah McGinnis. 
KING, Edna Pearl (I9790)
 
7089 I have a rather extensive bibiographic sketch written by John Kilborn -par of History of Leeds and Grenville, edited by Thad Leavitt, and published in Belleville, Ontario in 1972. Much of his comments deal with his experience as a British soldier in the War of 1812, and he mentions that he served in the Parliament of Upper Canada in 1828. I intend to type it into this section at some point. He and Elizabeth were married by the Rev. Richard Smart, minister of thePresbyterian Church in Elizabethtown, and they made their home in Unionville, Bastard Township, Leeds County. Ashiel Sherwood and Roderick Easton (who married Elizabeth's sisters Mary and Candace) were witnesses at the wedding. I also have a copy of an article from the Brockville Recorder, detailing a dinner held in Newboro on March 12, 1852. The occasion was in honor ofJohn Kilborn, on the occasion of his leaving Newboro to become postmaster in Brockville. Benjamin Tett headed the list of signatories on a petition n his honor. The dinner was apparently held in an inn run by Mr. and Mrs. William Hutchings Tett. Mrs. Tett was the former Jane Poole, Mary Ann Poole Chaffey's sister. After his service in Brockville, the Kilborns returned to Newboro, where they lived out their last few years. Also, I have a copy of a Queen's University Master's Thesis which focuses on the Tett family enterprises in the Rideau area, and mentions John Kilborn a number of times - obviously he and Tett cooperated on a number of projects. The thesis mentions Kilborn's ownership of the Mississauga Mills, an extensive sawmill operation, later sold to John Chaffey of Brockville (his son-in-law's cousin). KILBORN, John (I8742)
 
7090 I have a small booklet presented to the students of School District No. 60, on April 30, 1926, by their teacher Marjorie T. Chambers. Listed among the 37 students are Vivian Buelow and her brother Howard Buelow and her sister Harriet Buelow. BUELOW, Vivian Elizabeth (I3109)
 
7091 I have been unable to determine the parentage of this Jonathon Chapin. He has been attributed to both Jonathon of David and Lydia and Jonathon of Japhet and Abilenah. Family: Jonathan CHAPIN / Anna HITCHCOCK (F3287)
 
7092 I have been unable to find information about Wellington that can be proved. Some researchers show his death in 1891. The 1880 and 1900 census show a Wellington Sherwood in Dakota Territory and Alaska respectively. The age is correct for this guy but he always give his birthplace and that of his parents as NY, which is wrong. SHERWOOD, Wellington (I26496)
 
7093 I have conflicting or confusing information on Martha Estrem. Burial records for her husband Orin Spartz list her name as Martha Estrem McKinnon, daughter of Joseph and Ida Estrem. Her death certificate is listed under the name of Martha McKinnon. She died before Orin Spartz, and seems too young to have been married before Orin. Can't place/figure out the McKinnon part.
Burial records for Warren J. McKinnon list his spouse as Ella S. Baker who d. 1976. Perhaps she divorced Orin and married Warren after his wife died.??????
