[HI608] (Research):Last Dying letter written Feb 1893 by Maggie Martin

Farewell dearest ones life no more is mine. I must give up life’s joys a nd all she owns for the cold dark grave. But Oh when first I found th at I must die, Oh how dark were my thoughts. Each pierced my heart li ke a sword. But no human hand can save me. I must die. I must and leave y ou all in my youth. Why should I live a life so brief this question ha ve I asked a thousand times or more. Oh why should I cling to this sinf ul world. Why should I fear to die for Him who so bravely suffered and di ed for us all.

Oh how it hurts me to look on the happy faces and list’ to the merry voic es of my Brothers and Sisters dear and then Oh to know I must soon clo se my eyes on you all forever. Never more shall I hear your voices or s ee you all again. The cold grave will hide me from your eyes forever. I s ee I must give them all up. Life’s pleasures were made not for me, my li fe is very short and Oh I must die. Must let go of this earth and seek a m ightier hand for aid. Mother and Father I know you tried to save my you ng life but your help was all in vain. The mighty hand of death has got m e. Soon around me cold death’s arms shall fold. You’ll hear my voice no mo re, wait not for my coming feet, for my footsteps you’ll hear no more.

Oh dearest ones when around the table you all gather at meals look do wn at the end at my place and think of one who’s head is now covered wi th the sod. Who loved her place so well tho’ now it will be filled with S ister or Brother. I could stay with you no longer. Oh each long tired d ay and night of suffering. Oh I am not afraid to die. Oh why should I fe ar or dread to give up this painful life and rest forever more. Oh at tim es I long for death to come and rest my aching body that has been tir ed so long, and ease my pains for nothing else can do it.

Oh dear Sisters and Brothers when over my youthful head the grass shall gr ow, Oh forget me not . Susie, you know my cedar under the apple tree s it it at my head and when you stand and gaze on it Oh, think of the one w ho lies beneath, on it whose tired eyes has rested and bedewed. The you ng limbs with tears Oh, how many times have I stood on my knees under t he apple tree at it’s side and smoothed it ore with my weak and trembli ng hands and thought how soon it should wave over this now aching hea d. Let it shelter my narrow home from the scorching sun and winter stor ms as earthly hands shall shelter you

[HI631] (Research):Gaumer Branch As Carriage Manufacturers

This branch definitely had its beginning in the U. S. with Johannes Gaum er who came from Wurtemburg in 1820 and settled in Pennsylvania. The fir st three generations of this family, following that of Johannes were all b orn in the state of Pennsylvania. Frederick Gaumer, born possibly about 1750 or ‘55, represents the first ge neration after Johannes. Fredrick married SaDie Desch, a daughter of Ad am Desch, who came from Germany and located in Pennsylvania. Deseh and wi fe were parents of two sons and four daughters. Charles (3aumer, son of Frederick and Sallie Desch Gaumer, was born abo ut 1790. He married Lucy Ann Snyder, a daughter of Peter and Sophia (Frien d) Snyder of Lehigh County, Pa. Charles and Lucy Ann Gaumer became paren ts of six children: Edward B., the first to arrive in Urbana; Sarah Ann, J ames Aaron, Charles M., Josephine C., and Sophia. The thther, Charles B ., was a tailor by trade. Both he and his wife passed their entire liv es in the Keystone state. Edward B. Gaumer was born in August, 1827, in Pennsylvania. His first occu pation was three years as an apprentice at the trade of carriage making be fore the age of 19. He than went to Reading, Pa., where he was employed fi ve more years at the carriage making trade. From there he came to Wayne Co unty, 0., and was employed for short periods of time at Wooster, Zanesvil le and Columbus. From Columbus he came to Urbana in 1854 at the a ge of 27 years. Here he and Warren established the carriage firm which I h ave already described. On March 13, 1856, Edward B. Gaumer was united in marriage with Hannah Ham mond, who was born in Lehigh County, Pa. They were parents of five childre n. One died in childhood. The four who grew to maturity were Augustus H ., George E., Alice L., and C. Blanch. The two sons both joined their fath ers in the carriage factory. Augustus H. was born in Urbana, Dec. 18, 1856. He received his educati on in Urbana schools, and was connected with the enterprise establish ed by his tither for nearly a half-century. In 1884 he was united in marri age with Miss Cyrena Johnson, daughter of Levi Johnson, a son of David Joh nson, a pioneer family of Concord Township. Augustus H. and Cyrena were pa rents of Josephine A. and Keren J. Gaumer. George F. Gaumer was likewise associated with the father in the carriage b usiness. He was born inJanuaty, 1861,was married in 1897 to Miss Martha Ku nath, who was barn in Neustadt, Germany. Edward K. and Agnes H. were the ir children. Thus concludes six generations of two honored Urbana families. One that fo unded a successfiil enterprise more than a century ago, the other that che rished a pride in an unfaltering effort of good journalism.

[DI658] Urbana Democrat, Undated, About August 10, 1910
Life of Eldon Evilsizor Who Died August 6, 1910 Eldon Evilsizor of near Glen Echo, Clark Co, was born in Mad River township, September 30, 1835, and departed this life August 6, 1910, aged 74 years, 10 months and 17 days. He was married to Emily Jane Low of Urbana
September 24, 1857. To their union were born 14 children, 9 sons and 5 daughters. The five daughters And 2 sons preceded their father in death. There remains to mourn his departure and aged wife, seven sons and 17 grandchildren and one great grandchild, two brothers and two sisters; three half-brothers and one half-sister, besides many relatives and friends to mourn his departure. By occupation he was a farmer, by a religious profession he was a Baptist, having united with the Nettle Creek Baptist church when a young man and was baptized by Elder Samuel Williams. He was a firm believer in the final perseverance of the saints, by that hope and faith he lived and in the triumph of that faith he died. His life by times may not have been exemplary, yet he possessed many noble traits of character. He was always courteous and kind, the latch string to his home was always on the outside, his friends were many, and enemies few, if any. He was afflicted when a small boy, and never afterward saw a well day, but was ever cheerful and constantly looked on the bright side of life. His genial temper and peaceful disposition made for him many and fast friends. Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Elder T C William at the Nettle Creek Baptist Church August 8, 1910, after which his body was laid to rest in the Cemetery near by in the presence of a large assembly of sympathizing relatives and friends. The past is naught but memory With vivid brush we recall it; The future is not but fond hope With eager breath we forestall it. The present only is a flash It passes ere the thunders crash; Such then is life and that's in it A hope, a memory and a minute.

[HI660] (Research):The Champaign Democrat, Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio, August 11, 1892
The funeral of Mrs William Evilsizor took place last Sunday at 10 o'clo ck A.M. at the residence. Rev James Randel conducted the services. He sele cted his text from Psalms 23rd chapter and 4th verse. She was a faithful member of Harmony Baptist Church for a number of years and there will be a missing link in the church. She was always ready to bear her share of the burden of the cross, not only in the church she will be missed but in the neighborhood where she lived. As a neighbor, there was none better. She was ready at all times to lend a helping hand to those in nee d. In the family circle her kind voice will no longer be heard. For several months she has been gradually sinking away with that fatal disease, consumption; her courage never failing her. Physically, she was growing weak er from day to day; spiritually growing stronger. Our loss will be her gain. Julia Lee was born in Champing County March 31st, 1843; married to William Evilsizor October 31st, 1861; died August 4th, 1892, aged 49years, 4mo nths and 4 days. She was the mother of eleven children, five of whom have preceded her to the better world. She leaves a bereaved husband, five sons, one daughter, and four grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The remains were deposited in the Nettle Creek Cemetery

His father, John Lee, emigrated to Ohio with h is family, from Virginia in 1810; her purchased a tract of land of Willa im Copps, and settled upon it, soon after which he died, and, his widow n ot being able to pay for it, Copps again took possession; she rented a lit tle tract which was cultivated by the children for two years, when she pur chased 80 acres in the vicinity of Mr lee's present residence; this was pa id for, and the children, five in number, thereby obtained their sta rt in life; they were named James, Richard, William, Fanny and John. The m other's maiden name was Elizabeth Lowman, she was born in Maryland; she af terward married Phillip Stout; her death occurred in 1846. Four of the chi ldren are still living. William being the only son residing in the vicini ty of the old home. His marriage to Miss Susannah Blose was celebrat ed in 1832; they started in life on a cash capital of $100; by hard work a nd economy, William managed to pay for 24 acres, which was constantly add ed to, until he is now one of our large land-owners, having a half-secti on of valuable land, nicely improved, most of which was done under his sup ervision. His children, John, PHILANDER, Mary A, Elizabeth, Milly J, Susan nah, Henry, Dica, James A, Margaret L, Eliza E and Iva are living; two a re dead. All live in Ohio except Susannah who lives in Iowa. Mrs Lee di ed June 15, 1880 after living to see her children grow up to be useful m en and women; Margaretta manages the house since her mother's death. Mr l ee is a cousin to the late General Robert E Lee, one of the ablest Genera ls in the united States ever produced; his life has ever been characteriz ed by strict integrity, firmness of purpose, economy and strict adheren ce to business principles; he is now 71 years of age, as genial as wh en a boy of 20, and lives on his farm, caring little for the winter's stor m, as he is well provided for. We are glad to record his name among tho se deserving of having their names perpetuated in history.

It is f ragile, but having been written in ink, it is fairly well decipherabl e. At some point in time someone scotch taped the segments of the reco rd together. Nonetheless, the record is not difficult to read for the mo st part.

[HI697] (Research):Tombstone record appears to be read incorrectly in Denise K Moore book. S he is not inthe 1860 census, but in 1870 is age 9. Since she died in 187 1, I suggest she was born 1860-1861. The problem lies with the 1880 cens us with a daughter age 18 named Flora. Flora could have been the name of t he female in the 1870 census as it is difficult to read at looks like Sara h.

I do know that India, Alma, Grandpa and Chet are all bu ried on a lot in Circleville (Ohio). Kay and I took a snapshot of Grand ma Wolfe's grave several years ago and don't know why we didn't think to p hotograph the other headstones. I guess I will have to tell my cous in to drive down there and see what information she can dig up from the ce metery records. We have a cousin, Twyla Patrick Leist, in Circleville a nd altho I do know her because she visited Aunt India when I lived in Lanc aster, I don't know who she belongs to. India's will left $100.00 to " my niece" Twyla Patrick so one of the Wolfe family must have been marri ed to a Patrick but I sure don't know who it could have been."

[HI793] (Research):Champaign Co, Genealogical Society, by Pat Stickley and Denise Kay Moor e, Champaign Co Ohio-Newspaper Abstracts 1884-1888, (Urbana Daily Citiz en 1/1884-12/1888), pg134 5/6/1887 Word has ben received that F Webster Powell of Shingletown, Shas ta Co, CA was caught in a storm and froze to death while hunting. He leav es a wife and 3 children. He was the s/o the late S S Powell of this coun ty and left here about 1865.

SAMUEL S. POWELL, farmer; P. O. Urbana. The entire family bearing the na me of Powell are represented in this history, and none, perhaps, in the co unty can show a better record for honor and gentility than the three so ns named. Samuel was born in this township July 4, 1819, and during his lo ng life has lived near his present home. His father was a wonderfully ener getic man, and kept his boys at work to the neglect of their education. Co rrect habits were inculcated, forming the basis of substantial character s, which show prominently in those who now represent the pioneers. Samu el remembers well when the little clearings were tilled with wooden plow s, and when there was no market for what little produce was raised. His st ories of early times are characteristic of the way in which families who h ad no money could get along. Pewter dishes were used, to prevent breakag e, and the food was of the plainest sort. There were only two stores in Ur bana when Samuel was a boy, and the goods were carted from Cincinnati, tal king nine days to make the trip. He remembers when wheat was sold for 30 c ents per bushel. Threshing was done in a very primitive manner ; trampi ng it out on the ground, and afterward cleaning it on a sheet. Improvemen ts were introduced, until now we have our harvesting and threshing do ne by machinery. Wages were very low, and it is surprising to think how t he early settlers, with families, could work at wages ranging fr om 10 to 25 cents per day, and support a family and then save money enou gh to buy a farm, even at the low price of 82 to $4 per acre. Samuel was m arried Oct. 22, 1846, and, in the following month, moved to this farm. H is wife's maiden name was Eliza A. Showers. Their children were fifte en in number, o1 whom six are now living, four sons and two daughters, nam ed, respectively, George, W., James A., Lincoln; Charles F., Fanny A. a nd Amanda J. The three oldest sons are married. Mrs. Powell died Sept. 1 5, 1878, after living a long and useful life. She was the comforter a nd an earnest helper in every trial and enterprise, a loving mother a nd a wife of whom any man could feel proud. In 1880, May 14, Mr. Powell w as again married to Mrs. Elizabeth Houtz, of Urbana. She was the moth er of seven children. Of the reputation of Mr. Powell, nothing need be sai d. His record left to his children will be such as they will feel proud o f, and the world will be the better for his having lived in it. His indust ry has made him wealthy, and he has a model farm

My own added personal notes: (by Son, Don Evilsizor)

My father Marshall and mother Lela were not divorced but had been unoffici aly separated at this time. I do not recall how long it had been since m om had moved away. She was not listed in dad's obituary because of a disli ke for her by the step-children.

My father in passed away at approximately just before 7 AM on Friday, Feb ruary 19th. We slept in the same downstairs bedroom of a rather large bri ck home owned by the Knoop family located on a rural road leading from SR- 202 heading north toward the community of Grayson. Our house was the fir st one on the right or east side of the road.

I awoke that morning and looked over toward the bed and observed my fath er still in bed which appeared to be strange to me because he was alwa ys a early riser. I observed him laying on his left side and moving h is head as in a fashion of someone nodding yes while he layed on his pillo w. I noticed his mouth was partially open and what appeared like sali va had been running out. At that moment in time my thinking he was dreami ng and I left the room and fixed myself a bowl of cereal. While eating I g ot to thinking and started to wonder more why he was not up or if he did n ot have to work that particular day for some reason. After finishi ng my bowl of cereal and observing the clock was ticking away and my d ad was still not up made me decide to wake him up and ask if he was goi ng to work. I entered the bedroom and seen him lying there with no moti on like before, next I shook him a few times and exclaimed "dad are you g oing to work today?". Little did I know at that time he was dead, but an i nstant later with no response I panicked, ran to the phone in the livi ng room and called a neighbor Garfield Moses. I always had trouble diali ng their number because at that time you had to dial a strange number a nd hang up to let the phone ring. Mr. Moses tried to calm me down on t he phone and assure me my father was probably ok but he would come down so on as he got dressed. Panic and stress was starting to set in quick for m e! I did not know what to do next. The next thing that happened was a gen tleman by the name of Calvin Runyon had stopped at the end of our drive a nd tooted the horn in his big Chrysler. He normally worked with my dad a nd sometimes dad would ride with him if our model A Ford was not need ed to pull a trailer. I shouted something out down our long lane it was a bout 100 yards, Mr. Runyon next pulled up toward the house and of cour se I was nearly hysterical saying something was wrong and my dad was n ot breathing nor could he be awakened. He made me stay in the living ro om while entering our bedroom, I seen him shake my father and call out h is name "Marshall" a couple times. Upon returning to the living room he s tated "He's gone!" About that time our neighbor Mr. Moses arrived and a fter a short discussion I think it was Calvin who called the coroner. Aft er that things started to happen very fast, they asked me for a relativ es phone number which was recorded in our old phone book. I do not reca ll in what order who was called but it was not long before my 3 siste rs were there and later my brother. Soon they loaded up my dad in a hear se and hauled him away. Dad's sister Lydia and ....soon arrived one of th em wanted to know if I had observed anything wrong in the night seen a ny signs of struggle. My attempts to tell everyone he was alive when I g ot out of bed seemed to fall on deaf ears due to so much conversation go ing on at once with different relatives. Since that date until now everyo ne had always assumed my dad had died in his sleep before I got up that m orning and after starting to make a statement to clarify things it just ne ver got put across. I always had that bad feeling most of my life conti nuously wondering if there was not something that could of been do ne on my part. Well as a freshman in high school during that time peri od CPR or other emergency life saving steps was unheard of in my circles.

Notes from Don Evilsizor and his conversation with his sister Marge 2/2006 He apparently used to be in the Masonic lodge or other fraternal gro up at some time in his life. I can just barely recall a silver stick tie p in he used to have on the dresser or in one of his ties. Also heard dad was in the KKK and that totally flipped me out as it was t he first time ever hearing about that. Apparently sister Mary some time l ater had taken the cape and uniform to make a dress for herself. Gosh th at would of been a prize before being cut up huh? Also heard that he had sang in one of the church choirs at some point in t ime. It may of been the Church of the Brethren at the Trotwood area. Gue ss it was before I was born but again too bad we had never talked about t hose things in my short 14 years with him in life. I know at some point in time think it was when he took me to Troy to s ee a parade that had the Shriners in it he had made some comment abo ut if one was to join them and something about traveling around. When we lived in the brick where he had died there was a book he wro te in to record where we may of traveled to or who visited us at time s. I am not certain as to how long he had kept any records in the boo k, it looked like one of those finance type book keeping styles on the cov er, but cannot remember much more about it. I even recall the cabinet draw er he kept it located in the kitchen.

By Don Evilsizer-7/28/2000 I know that my dad's first wife was with the last name of Foose and had al ways heard that a Foose had some type of patent or improvement to a ste am engine but was never recognized nationally by us ordinary citizens. I h ad always wondered about that but never looked into anything previously. R ecently my attention was drawn to to a display at our local county 4H fai r. While walking through the old time farm engine displays my eye caught o ne of those hit and miss engines as we call them that had a decal with t he name of "Foos" on the side of the engine. I told a friend who was walki ng with me about looking for a stamp or plate to see if it was made in Spr ingfield Ohio which would surely put it close to home. Sure enough upon ex amination of the plate decal it was manufactured in Springfield, so may be the old hand me down story does have a connection, possibly not in a st eam engine but the old time utility engines.

Another mention of the Foos name appears in an obit of a Miss Margaret Bak er 1896-1986, d/o Scipio and Jesse Foos Baker. She was born in Springfie ld and died in San Diego, CA

Besides Permetta/Pernet ta/Perneda - they also had children named Kate, Letitia, Ellen, Emma, Edwa rd, Otto, and Richard Metz according to the article.

Pg 668 History of Champaign Co, Ohio by W H Beers & Co 1881 Christopher METT, farmer; P O Urbana. The parents of this gentleman ca me to this county in 1833 from Page county, Virginia. His father, David Me tt, died eight days after landing in Mad River township. The maiden na me of Mrs METT was Catherine Ayleshire, and she was left a widow at an ear ly age. Three children-Christopher (our subject), Giedeon and Margaret- we re born in Page Co. Mrs Mett was left alone with her three small childre n, in a new country, without friends, and the day seemed dark for her. B eing a good weaver, she picked up a few dollars, and managed to provide f or her children for a time. Christopher was an industrious lad, and work ed at any kind of a job that offered, until he was 13 or 14 years old. H is mother, about that time, received $300 from her fathers estate. She ga ve Christopher $30 of this to be invested in clothes. Instead of doing thi s, he purchased a colt, and again went to work to get another horse. Befo re this was paid for, it died, and this left him again behind. Nothing dau nted, he continued working, and in two or three years he found himself t he owner of two horses and a wagon. He commenced farming, an in a ye ar or two had four horses, and was farming extensively. In 1853, he had $1 000 in cash and a span of horses. This was judiciously invested in land, a nd in a few years he found himself with a fine farm, all paid for, earn ed by his own industry, and in 1865 he sold his farm in Mad River townsh ip for $8000, and purchased his present farm at $10,500. He has ever be en one of the most successful businessmen, and has honestly earned every d ollar he is worth. His marriage, to Mrs. Sarah Smith was celebrated in 184 7. They had no children, and her death occurred in 1850. Mr Mett had rear ed two girls, one of whom, Miss Pernette Mett, married John Evilsizer, a nd they keep house for him. Mr Mett is one of our best citizens and has wo rked hard all his life, but today he can see the fruits of his labors in h is large bank account and comfortable home.

[HI821] (Research):!NEWSPAPER: "Springfield (O.) Daily News" August 28, 1976: "BROTHER AND SISTER NO LONGER RIVALS" (including a photo of Worden Hu pp and Ida Lorton) By Judi Anton A brother and sister who never spoke to each other in their teens decid ed to pair up and keep house together - when they were 89 and 87 years ol d. Although Ida Lorton is 93 now, and her "older" brother Worden Hu pp is 95, you'd never guess it. The late-night pillow fights are gone a nd the sibling rivalry seems to have disappeared, but that doesn't mean li fe isn't interesting for these two. "I do all my own cooking and cleanin g, and I arranged everything here," Ida said, as she pointed out family po rtraits, presents from neighbors and an old wood dresser and table she ref inished herself. They live in a corner house on Mulberry and Main st s. in Tremont City, with a low front porch that overlooks the quiet stree ts of the rural town. Ida's husband has been dead for many years, and af ter Worden's wife died about six years ago the brother and sister decided to team up. They're t he liveliest nonagenarians one could ever find, and they're as differe nt as night and day: Worden appears to be a very mild-mannered and self-c ontained man, content with reading or sitting quietly with his visitor s. But Ida keeps everyone busy with her friendly chatter and youthful en thusiasm as she scurries about the house. She says she's forgetful, b ut that doesn't ring true when she talks about the past. "I didn't run a round with my brother when I was young. He had his boyfriends and I h ad my girlfriends," she said. "We grew up in the country, so we had to wo rk in the fields a lot, too." Ida takes special care to keep their hou se in order. She had a player piano restored, and had the middle secti on boarded up. "I was so silly to do that. My husband gave this pia no to me and my son, but I wouldn't part with it even now. Would you?"
Individually-styled rocking chairs dot the living room, but Ida feels sh e's too old to start sanding the wood down and re varnishing the furnitur e. While she gives a private tour of the fairy tale house, Worden trai ls behind his sister, beaming with pride at her work. "Did she tell y ou she hates cooking?" he said. "She worries about things, but I don' t" he added. Worden and Ida grew up in Tremont City and were the younge st of four children. "Worden was a protective brother, but you didn't ne ed much protection in those days," Ida said. "There wasn't much to do back then ," Worden said. "But as soon as my daddy bought me a horse and buggy, I w as off!" Since there was no high school in Tremont City, young adults be gan working fresh out of grade school. "I always loved the steam machine s," Worden remembered. "I wanted to be at the head of the train, you kn ow - one of the men that pulled the string," blowing the train's whistle. A friend of his wrote him a letter abo ut a prospective job on a train when he was young, but his mother found t he letter before he could read it and ripped it to shreds. "She want ed us all at home," Ida explained. So Worden settled for working with st eam threshers and steam-powered fire engines. He began his career by haul ing water for the machines. Mr. Hupp has three children: Elwood, 70, We ndall, 65, and Norma, 71. Ida Lorton was a seamstress, and married wh en she was 23. She has one son, Edwin, 70, who sold milk in Springfield f or many years. Life has been exciting for the compatible couple. A nd if Ida can remember when her next hair appointment is, and if Worden doesn't want anything special for dinner tonight, it will be a peaceful ev ening for the last of the Hupp children."

By order of the Board of Advisors, AAA

by Karen Walker Minard was a large man, standing over 6 feet tall and weighing over 200 po unds. Minard Isaac is the first born son to Rose (Spahr) and Charles Irv in Evilsizer. Minard was born July 11, 1910 and lived 72 years dying sudd enly of a massive heart attack while he was in the hospital for prostra te surgery. Rose Spahr is the daughter of Barbara Craver and Martin Spah r. Barbara was born in America after her father and mother came here in 1 841 from Berlin Germany. John Peter Craver and his wife Elizabeth brought their 3 children over the Atlantic Ocean, and arrived in Cincinnati, Oh io in 1841. He bought a farm in Stonelick Township in Clermont County, Oh io. To their union were born 4 more children, one of which was Barbar a. (I mention this as Barbara is the name given to my mother). Minard a nd Genevieve cared for Rose (MInard's mother) after she took ill. After s he died, they moved to the farmhouse. Minard farmed the 110 acres with h is only brother Ivan. When Ivan married his wife, Dorothy they moved off the farm, as Dorothy didn't want to live on a farm. So Minard boug ht out Ivan's share of the farm. ( I can remember stories of when Minard's father died (BIG IRV) he was la id out for awhile as a custom sized casket had to be made.)

Minard began his career as a car mechanic, farmer Insurance adjustor, a nd then a county commissioner. His father "Big Irv" was also a county com missioner, and it was Minard's goal to follow his father's footsteps. Mina rd worked for the Clark County Farmers Mutual Ins. Company for three yea rs before becoming president of this company. Genevieve took classes a nd passed a test that enabled her to write policies and change policie s. She was the 'secretary and organizer for her husband. He did mu ch of his work from his home office (my mom has his desk now). MInard att ended business college in Springfield, Ohio after his high school graduati on. Big Irv has his name on a plaque in the County Home in Champaign Coun ty, Ohio for being commissioner when it was built. Minard Isaac has his n ame on the court house as he was commissioner when it was built. Grandd ad was a commissioner from Jan. 1950-Dec. 1958. They had four children, Ch arles, James, Barbara and David. A man who loved a deck of cards, he cou ld often be seen sitting at the dining room table with a game of solitai re spread before him. The patio window allowed a flood of sunlight to shi ne across his game, and he could be occupied for hours. Another card ga me that Minard was fond of was euchre. This game he taught to his childr en and his grandchildren! He would build a 'card shack' on his property a nd several men would gather one night a week for fellowship and cards. O ne rule of the 'Shack" was no alcohol and no money exchanged hands. A col lection was taken by all the players to pay for pop and electric.

Minard's grandparents Evilsizer were founders along with about 8 other fam ilies of the Bowlusville Church. It was started as United Brethern, chang ed to Evangellical United Brethern and later changed to United Methodis t. Minard was also involved in the Mason Lodge. He wore a large red Mason 's ring on his hand to symbolize his support of their efforts. Minard bow led on a league at the Masonic temple. There were four lanes in the basem ent and every other Monday he bowled at 7pm and every other Monday he bowl ed at 9pm. On the early evenings he took turns taking the three older chi ldren (Charles, Jim and Barbara) -one at a time. This was where they tast ed their first 'coke' from a bottle. In 1956, Genevieve and Barbara bowl ed on the same lanes on a Friday evening sometimes at 7 or 9pm. They sti ll had high school boys setting the pins when we bowled there in 1956-5 7. Minard was a member of the Masonic Lodge, 32nd Degree Mason and a Shri ner.

Minard had a loud beaming voice which carried well. He loved a good jo ke or story. He would demonstrate his affection frequently by teasing. H is grandchildren can remember him smoking a pipe, and on some occasion s, a cigar. However, several years before his death, he had given up th is habit and no longer smoked anything. Minard owned a 1941 Black Internat ional pickup and his grandchildren can remember it parked in the old co rn crib down the lane by the road. He also enjoyed a game of horse-shoe p itching. During the summer months, when the grandchildren were off on bre ak from school, Genevieve and Minard would welcome each grandchild into th eir home for one week's stay. With 12 grandchildren, this occupied mu ch of their summer. Some came alone, and some came in pairs! With plann ed and spontaneous events, the children enjoyed the country life of the ir grandparents. The porch swing, riding bicycles down the driveway hill s, and the hunt for baby kittens delighted them. In one instance, I can re member my granddad rescuing my sister, Rita from the basement wall! Whi le playing on the porch, Rita was trying to catch a baby kitten who had sc urried down a crack by the basement wall. Rita was sure she could rea ch it and stuck her arm into the crack only to get herself stuck! Mina rd had to be brought in from his farming to go into the basement and pry h er arm loose! Another story told to us was of my brother Bill's fireman st ory. He was spending his week with grandma and granddad when a grease fi re in the kitchen erupted! Instead of escaping the house like Genevieve t old him, he ran to her bedroom and pulled the bedspread off the bed and th rew it over the burning pot. He had remembered a lesson taught in his ele mentary classroom. This action they claimed saved the kitchen from much d amage. Grandma later told me when I was asking her about family histor y, "I can remember that fire like it was yesterday,"

[HI839] (Research):Sarah and Albert Parady lived on a farm in Galena, Ohio. Genevieve was the ir oldest child and her boyfriend had "a roadster." I thought it was fun ny that a younger cousin would remember that clear into her seventies. Gen evieve's brother, Charles, was at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed (I ha ve the impression that he survived.) I don't know what branch of the servi ce he was in. They must have lived somewhere near a creek, because my m om remembers swimming in it when she visited them every summer. The kids w ent to a one room school. Don't know the name of it. Supposedly Sadie, Gen evieve's mom, had a very sweet disposition. nbe@nycap.rr.com (Nancy Ettorre)

Sarah Genevieve is known to those around her as Genevieve. She is the old est daughter of Sarah Jane Ditty and Albert Edward Parady, and was born Ap ril 23, 1911. Genevieve had two brothers, James and Charles and one siste r, Mary. She spent her life in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We think Sarah Ja ne Ditty came from Gattletsburg, KY (this I don't have documentation on, c an you help?) Sarah Jane was 25 years old when she married Albert. Albe rt Edward Parady was born and raised in Columbus, OH. Albert's father ca me to US from Canada and was a French Canadian, thus the French name Parad y. Albert's mother came from Ireland and died when he was just a boy. Albert 's mother family comes from the ROSE lineage and I have some info on th is also. Albert worked for the railroad, and for a short time in Monesse n, Pennsylvania at a steel mill. When they moved back to Ohio, Genevie ve told us how her father road with the moving truck and her mother took t he children to Ohio via train. Upon returning to Ohio, Genevieve attend ed a one-room school house called Red Bank She was in the 5th grade a nd as it turned out, the only pupil in 5th grade. They tried to test her into 6 th grade to do the lessons with the older children; and the only area s he was not able to do was the math and fractions. She graduated from Sunb ury School.

Genevieve's brother Charles died from Cancer several years ago and her sis ter, Mary died many years ago. Mary was married to Irv Edwards when I kn ew her. She was married previously to a man named Kenneth (I think) and t hey had a son Jerry who married Sue. Jerry and Sue had three children Stacy, Wade and Chad.

Her brother James is still alive and lives in Mt. Vernon, Ohio and spen ds time in Connecticut with his son Ron Parady also. (Ron is an acto r) He also goes south to Alabama during the winter. He is beginning to suf fer some health problems also. He married Juanita and they golfed all t he time. They simply loved golfing, and worked at a pro shop in their ret irement. James was a fireman in the Cleveland area if I remember righ t. Here I need to go to my files and review! I know him as Great Uncle J im and he writes to me once in awhile and we usually hear from him at Chri stmas. Jim and Juanita had two children Ron and Nancy. Ron is an actor h as appeared in episodes of "Hill Street Blues", the "Guiding Light", and m any more.

Grandma was a member of the South End Club, AREME Club, Homemakers' Clu b, and the United Methodist Women's Club. She was usually busy with o ne or the other making 'favors' as small tokens or gifts to decorate the t ables.

A FAVORITE of every child who ever stepped into my grandparents' home w as the toy cupboard! This was a built in, double door china cupboard in t he dining room. On the lower shelves were toys, coloring books, crayon s, tractors, trucks, combines, and Barbies! Every child came to expect a nd anticipate the treasures in this cupboard. Pull toys and old camera we re favorites for years. Many of these toys were wood or metal, not much p lastic here! As she got older and her grandchildren began to bring great-grandchildren, she slowly gave away the toys as treasured mement os to the children. Grandma was so generous and had the brightest blue ey es. She usually had cookies in the cookie jar or chocolates hidden in t he old attic stairway! She has a soft-spoken nature about her and was t he nurturer. She spoiled the family with ice cream and goodies after a h ot summer day. Grandma and Granddad usually took vacations to Florida in t he summer. It began as a 2 week stay between Insurance meetings in 19 64 or 1965. This time increased to 4-5 weeks after retirement. They us ed to stay at least one week in a place close to Ft. Myers. They travel ed much in retirement to places like: Alaska, Hawaii, Switzerland, England, France, Germany and a cruise to Puerto Rico. by Karen Walker

Ola Nitchman Rooney di ed in our living room when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My mother had br ought her to our house because she was in bad health. Well, You're probab ly not interested in those kind of details, but I did want you to know th at now that I have retired from teaching, I have just started looki ng up my family history. I really appreciate all the work you have appare ntly already done. The information you have posted is getting me o ff to a great start.

[HI985] (Research):Hi I found out that on 5 of July a Jefferson Evilsizer married an Elizabe th Clark. Since I am interested in finding the siblings and paren ts of my great grandfather James Clark who married Elizabeth ladd, I fe el that since this couple married in MOrgan Co In. where James Clark and E lizabeth Ladd Clark lived until 1834 when they moved to Coles co Illinoi s, that Elizabeth Clark Evilsizer may be related to my James Clark. Any in fo would be greatly appreciated. bookmage@pacbell,net Patsie Hatley I found that there was a "Clark Clan " in MOrgan county that was supposed ly related in some way to my great grandfather James Clark. The auth or of the info did not know how the family was related to James or did not want to be bothered. I know that a Thomas Clark reside nt of Morgan Co died in 1834-this brought back a Andrew clark and wife nan cey from some place in Illinois, my James Clark from Coles Co Il,{he had m oved his family there the same year that this Thomas Clark died}anyway the re was an Andrew Clark and wife Nancey, Sarah Ladd Clark, she was a sist er to my great grandmother Elizabeth Ladd wife of James Clark, and a Sin ey Clark Cutler who was mother in law to another of Elizabeth's sisters, P atsey Martha Ladd Cutler. Now I cannot for the life of me find out how the se Clarks are related. I am trying hard, using message boards, trying vari ous censuses. I found out that this Thomas Clark according to 1830 cens us was between 50 and 60 so he would have been proper age to be my James C lark's father. As for this Elizabeth Clark I was hoping because she was f rom MOrgan county that she might be of that "Clark Clan" and lead me to find out how they were a ll related to James.

Miranda Sayler Evelsizer
September 6, 1931
Miranda Sayler was born in Wabash County, Marion, Indiana November 27, 1853. She was married to Henry Evelsizer March 20, 1874. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Illinois, making their home in this and surrounding communities until her death Sept. 4, 1931. To this union were born eleven children, seven of whom remain to mourn her departure: William Evelsizer of Bagley, Iowa; Carl of Gilman, Illinois; Guy of Pekin, Illinois; Mrs. Harve Moreland and Mrs. Bert Hoake of East Peoria; and Mrs. Leslie and Bert Irion of Congerville. Besides this her husband, a number of grand-children and eleven great-grand-chidldren.
Early in life she accepted Christ and united with the Baptist Church. Those who know her best speak of her as one whose life was lived in its fullness, ever a faithful wife and loving and dutiful mother. Through her almost four years of illness, during which time she spent almost half bedfast, she made little complaint, and when her call was imminent, she accepted it believing steadfastly in the words of her beloved hum, "Lord, I'm Coming Home."


She had reached her three score and ten, has seen her sons and daughters grow from child-hood into their respective estates, has doubtlessly served her mission as planned by the Great Master. Yet she will be missed--the Mother and the Grandmother.
Grandmother now you have left us
They say you are dead.-
That you have gone to that city
That lies in the country of God.
That now we shall no longer see you--
or hear you or speak.
But they have overlooked something grandmother-
What you said-
What you did =
We REMEMBER
You told of us things in your girlhood.
The childish pranks and all --
Of how grandfather like gay lochinvar,
Came riding out of the west
And captured your girlish heart
Of the courtship--the wedding
Yes, you told us all that--
The glad things---
The sad things
And we REMEMBER
And then as Time with his great scythe,
Came sweeping slowly but steadily on,
Your feet grow less sure,
Your eyes became dim
In a voice that was softened and mellowed by years
You said "Sing the old songs and play them
Happy day--Whiter than snow"
and so many others
Being careful that always, no matter how many,
"Lord I'm Coming Home" be never omitted.
WE REMEMBER
Yes, you have gone grandmother,
But only a little ahead,
Perhaps to pave the way for we who
are left
To travel someday
Until then grandmother our--
We shall REMEMBER

County engineer C A Elliott and Clarence Evelsizer def endants. The case arises out of an alleged drainage problem created when c ounty trunk B in lower Greenbier township was regraded in 1951. The plaint iffs claim the board of supervisors caused culverts to be installed, o ne to the west and the other through the grade to the north of a pond on t he Ruth E Byrnes land which prevent the water overflowing the pond to foll ow the natural depressions to the lower land. The plaintiffs charge that t he defendants have failed to maintain the culverts connecting the Evelsiz er and Byrns farms, thus caused the road to act as a dyke. The water th en collects on the Byrns farm, according to the plaintiffs, and flows nor th to the Jackson land. Attorney for the plaintiffs is the Richardson l aw firm. Luther Reading is the county attorney. The case will probably co me up in the October term of court.
