[HI18688] (Research):THE REPUBLIC. (Newspaper name) Saturday Evening, March 6 1875 For special reasons we depart from our usual custom, and reprint a long ob ituary. Its subject, Miss IVVA BRAND, of Urbana, daughter of Mayor Bran d, and sister of Mr. W. A. Brand one of the editors of the Citizen and Gaz ette, was a young lady of wonderful personal qualities. Unknown to hersel f, she was a leader in the great Temperance movement in Urbana last winte r, and we sincerely believe that her whole souled interest in that work h ad much to do with the marked results of that movement. Indeed, at Urba na did what is known as the Crusade achieve its highest results. The decea ses was first in the filed and last to leave it; and as she was well kno wn in this city, and as the memoir, written by her brother, is well writte n, and intrinsically interesting, we copy it in full below:

Memoir Ivva Brand died at her home, Saturday evening, February 27, 1875, at the a ge of eighteen years and four months. She was the youngest daughter of H on Joseph C. and Lavinia Brand, and the youngest child of a family of elev en. Her experiences of the world were much beyond her years, and the finis hed education of her life was much brightened and made more effective to h er purposes by contact with varied peoples and changing climes. An inna te love of the Beautiful instructed her eyes and vision to the great wor ks of art and the grand scenes of landscape and mountain and valley of Eur ope and America, expanded her mental powers to a high degree of cultivatio n. Modest and reserved in all things, her strength of character and mind w as known only to her family and more intimate friends, though every acquai ntance saw in her acts the thoughts of a most lovely child. No subje ct of the world’s interest was ever brought to her notice upon which she d id not form and express an opinion, and so clear, concise and rapid were h er conclusions and decisions, that she seldom erred in these judgments. Al ways at an opportune moment were heard those opinions, which would frequen tly startle the minds of her friends, and always carried weight with th em without the force of argument. Her mind was a true model of that perfec tion which may be attained by a strict discipline, self-imposed; for no re straint has ever been inflicted upon this, the youngest, loveliest, trues t, and best. Two great attributes attached themselves to her heart and ma de her magnet of love to all with whom he came in contact. These were: Aff ection for her family and love for her Heavenly Father. Never for a mome nt did she forget to pour out the quiet love of a heart brimming over wi th joy and gratitude and none could but feel it. Not demonstrative, but o ut of the eye and in the words carried the tell-tale story of her love a nd affection. Under the light of a good mother’s example she grew into wom anhood, and into conscious enjoyment of a Christian experience. She h ad no experiments, but walked the path of righteousness for her Master’s s ake, and with a hope that fears not, faulters not; and needs no mercy. S he suffered, and enjoyed the parallel between her sufferings and those th at ended on the cross; and the soft, bright sunshine that fell upon her he art was always a clear token that God had proven her. She had been an inva lid nearly a twelvemonth, and exhibited throughout the time an unequaled d egree of fortitude and patience. Never had she uttered a complaint, or mur mured against the providence of God, in visiting pain upon her. She rejoic ed in the promise here told: “In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou are precious in His sight: God is with the— God, thine everlasting light!” Death placed his icy finger upon her brow two days before the final dissol ution, and while she knew he had claimed her for his own, in those slow a nd tiresome moments, her spirit was lead on, and on, to the supreme eminen ce of earthly glory—a triumphant victory over the shadows, and sorrows, a nd tears, of a death bed. Two days of sleeplessness, strength wasted wi th flesh, she grew weary, and wearied into exhaustion but uttered no murm ur of complaint. Tired she wanted rest; but there was no sleep for her sa ve in that sleep of death. There was constantly with her a greater presen ce than suffering, and her mind held and fed upon a greater philosophy th an science can herald. Pain had forsaken her, and her only suffering was t hat terrible weariness. Out of this most horrible feeling she looked wi th clam and dignified composure, and sweetly said, “Christ suffered!” Years ago she formed an idea that she had a mission to fulfill on earth, a nd it was consoling to her to believe it to be the care of her aged parent s. During her protracted illness she had a strong faith in recovery, th at her mission might be fulfilled. When she saw the approach of death, a nd felt the early hope of her mission fade away, she looked for other wo rk that must have been appointed to her to accomplish in the end of her mi ssion. Almost as the star in the east, her work rose up before her, and be came as distinct upon the clear sky as was that star to the wise men, a nd she followed it. Three weeks before, she had confided to her mother a message for one of h er brothers—one who was out of the pale of church discipline and not devot ed to active Christian duties of life. Friday evening, twenty-two hours be fore her death, she called for that brother and requested the messa ge to be delivered. The brave , heart-wrung mother could not tell it ther e, and it was communicated in a distant room. This was the message: “How fondly she had loved the delaying brother; how her affection for h im was stronger, more intense that for the others, because of solicitud e; how an abiding faith in Christ had sustained her and comforted her thro ughout her affliction and made her lover her family and be good to them. A nd she asked him to seek and find and depend upon in every hour, that Chri st who had given her such peace and such happy days.” The brother came to her side with a heavy heart, for he loved her as his o wn soul, saying: “My darling Ivva, the message is delivered.”—”The promise !”—On the promise!— she cried. And fondly kissing her questioning fa ce he gave her the promise. The face beamed with the glory of her joy—s he looked angelic, as she gasped and gurgled out the words: “Thank you! O h, tank God! Bless you, my dearest brother!” That joy was so awfully gre at to her that she trembled in every nerve, her eyes almost glittered wi th satisfaction ,and a halo of magnificent beauty seemed to wreath her he ad as she called to her eldest brother, “Oh, Pray! Pray!” And the eldest k nelt in the large circle around her bed and offered a beautiful prayer f or her glory and for their trust. The she said, “Oh, you have made me so h appy---you—and you—all—Oh, I feel like I could almost get well again.” Steadily, through the long weary hours of night she approached the ho ur of departure. Each hour found her weaker, but the concentration of t he great glory of her life grew more intense. At five o’clock Saturday eve ning, nothing remained of action but a clear voice, a clear intellect, a nd rapid respiration. When she could no longer find relief in caught, s he said to their mother, “I can not breath—I must die!” Placing her ha nd on her throat, she asked Dr. Goddard, her attending physician, “Wh at is this?” He said, “Ivva, you know you are dying, don’t you, dear?” S he asked immediately, “How long?” Choking down the struggling emotio ns of his heart the Doctor said—”You’re almost home. It’s only a little wh ile.” Who of us is so brave, or who has the philosophy of science so tru e, as to receive that announcement without a tremor of fear? That chi ld of Faith feared not, but smiling as one who ascends a throne to reign a nd govern, she raised her eyes to his and replied: “Thank you! Thank yo u! Bless the lord for rest!” She had reached the summit of her greatness and she made her appointmen ts composedly as one who sets her house in order. Nothing was forgott en in the hurry to death. Calling her physician she thanked him for his care and attention. Kind fri ends who during her sickness and in her last hours were with her ministeri ng to her, were given her warm thanks and God’s blessing. One by one the f amily approached, and from each was exacted a promise to meet her in heave n. As she kissed her father, dearer to her than life itself, she said “don ’t cry!” We’ll meet above!” Through is tears he answered, “Yes, daughte r, you’re almost there.” One brother approached, and she made the wonderfu lly significant remark: “There is the One!” The youngest brother —in-law stooped and received a la st word from her, kissed her fondly, bade her good-bye—and then she sai d, “My work is finished!” and looking up into her brave mother’s eyes, wi th a slight wave of her hand, sweeping the entire family gathered there, s he eontinued—”My Mission! An unbroken family in Heaven!” Her mission was accomplished un unutterable glory, and from the topmost he ight of spiritual greatness, she reached out her hands and was welcomed in to Heaven. Christ had led her on. “There have the souls of our beautiful ones gone, Over the shadows of death ‘s river; We shall behold them and call them our own, Sharing their glories forever.


Many of our readers were acquainted with Miss Ivva Brand, (daughter of t he Hon. Joseph C. Brand, of Urbana,) a very excellent and amiable young la dy, who recently died, and they will read, with great interest a most tou ch memoir, written by her brother, (one of the of the Urbana Citizen and G azette,) which we reprint in to-day’s paper. No one whether a frie nd or an utter stranger —can read the article without being greatly move d. The family of the deceased my feel assured of the affectionate and symp athizing remembrance of many friends here and elsewhere.


Death’s Doings Miss Ivva Brand, youngest daughter of Hon. Joseph and Lavinia Brand, di ed at her home in Urbana, last Saturday evening, February 27th after a lo ng and painful suffering, in the 19 year of her age. Ivva was the youngest of nine children, and perhaps, the most patient of t hem all, for she had been in poor health for several years. It is said th at experiences of the world add much to the refinement of education and t he teachings are such that it leaves an impressive stamp upon the mind, a nd brightens up the intellect; so with little Ivva. She had been an attentive observer of all the notable things, both anima te and inanimate—of this world, and her life study was to learn, not so mu ch for her own good as the good of others, so that she could, at a glanc e, give an opinion worthy of the brightest consideration for the benef it of all with whom she become intimate. She always, through life, though she had a special mission to perform; a nd , until within a few hours of her death, supposed it was to live to tea ch all to love and cherish, as she had learned to do; but her mission w as to meet her own dear family around her death-bed and bid each one good- by, and ask them to meet her in Heaven. Several years ago she, with her mother and an elders sister, embarked f or Nuremburg, Bavaria, one other the German States, where her father was l iving; he being at the time United States Consul. When she arrived in th at country she was to able to speak a work of the German language, bu t, in an incredible short time, she learned to speak, read and write the t ongue. While there she formed a large acquaintance and made may friends. N ow, that she has gone to her Heavenly home, let us profit by her example a nd finally meet her there.

Little Ivva! She is gone, From earth her soul has risen— To take her place with other friends, Who dwell above in heaven.

Gentle and kindhearted, With sympathy for all “Don ‘t weep, I’m happy. It is my Maker ‘s call.”

Her memory will be cherished By friends here and abroad; She ‘s gone away with angels to dwell, Called by the voice of God.

Rest sweet angel one, Free from sorrow and care; Let us follow her example And happily meet her there.

She was a kind-hearted, gentle being; always ready to lend a helping ha nd to the poor and unfortunate; and giving advice with such earnesty of pu rpose and knowledge, that was remarkable for one so young. She was a gre at lover of her father, mother, brothers, and sisters, and her Heavenly Fa ther.

Mr. Ross has tendered the position he now accepts early in Dec ember and went to Wyandotte to look the situation over. He returned ho me and later accepted the place, resigning from the Urbana company.
It is likely that the family will leave soon, this depending u pon the school situation. Mr. Ross already has a house reserved for h im in Wyandotte and is preparing to move his family there.
The leaving of Mr. Ross and his estimable family will be a dis tinct loss to Urbana, where he and Mrs. Ross have been prominent in soci al and church circles and the former in business circles. However, the po sition offers particularly bright prospects for the talents of Mr. Ross a nd his many friends will congratulate him.

[HI18983] (Research):WILLIAM MAHLON ROCKEL, a native-born citizen of Clark County, is one of t he prominent members of the bar in this part of Ohio, having a large pract ice in Springfield, where he makes his home. Though still a young man, M r. Rockel has thus early in his professional career gained a high reputati on, not only as a lawyer, the acknowledged peer of many of the ablest leg al minds of the State, but is considered authority on many points as the j oint author with Judge White, of one of the best works regarding a certa in class of laws.

Mr. Rockel was born in German Township, Clark County, July 18, 1855, a nd is a fine representative of sterling pioneer stock, his father, Peter R ockel, having been born in the same township in May, 1831. His grandfathe r, Adam Rockel, was born in Lehigh County, Pa., while his great-grandfath er Rockel was born in the same county of German parentage. Adam Rockel w as a farmer, and in 1822, in early manhood, while he was still unmarrie d, he crossed the border line between Pennsylvania and Ohio, accompani ed by five or six sisters, the removal being made with team, and cast in h is lot with the early pioneers of German Township. He bought a tract of h eavily timbered land, built a log cabin, and at once entered upon the ha rd task of clearing away the forest trees from his homestead and improvi ng a good farm, The surrounding country was then sparsely settled, with b ut little indication of its present wealth and prosperity, with no railwa ys or canals, and with scarcely any other signs of the coming civilizatio n. In the comfortable home that he built there his long life was broug ht to a close, in 1884, at the ripe old age of ninety-one years. Fo ur of his sisters survived him, and the combined age of the five was fo ur hundred and twenty years. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary M. Bake r, was a daughter of Philip Baker, well known as one of the early pionee rs of Clark County; he came here in 1813, and settled one half mile we st of Eagle City Mills, in German Township. There he bought several hundr ed acres of land, heavily timbered, of which he cleared quite a large tra ct before his death. The grandmother of our subject died at his father 's home in 1886, aged seventy-six years. The grandfather was a veter an of the War of 1812, serving under Gen. Henry Dearing, and for his go od services in that conflict was a pensioner during his last years.

The father of the subject of this notice was reared to the life of a farm er on his father's large homestead, and was an inmate of the parental hous ehold until his marriage. He then bought land one mile east of Tremont Ci ty, where he lived until 1867. In that year he rented his farm, whi ch he had brought to a high state of improvement, and bought another locat ed east of his original homestead on the Urbana pike. There he still mak es his home, enjoying the comforts procured by the competence that he h as acquired by persistent and well-directed industry. He has been twice m arried. The maiden name of his first wife, mother of our subject, was Mar garet Shick, and she was a native of Carroll County, Ohio, and a daught er of William Shick, a native of Virginia, and of German antecedent s. He was a pioneer of Ohio, and in 1844 moved to Logan County and locat ed one mile north of Bellefontaine, where he still resides, being now eigh ty-four years of age. His wife who is eighty-one years old, is spar ed to be the companion of his declining years. She was born in early pion eer times in Ohio, and her maiden name was Catherine Shawver. The moth er of our subject died in 1865, leaving behind her the gracious memo ry of a true womanhood. His father married for his second wife Miss Sar ah A. Ilges, who is devoted to his interests.

William M. Rockel, of whom we write, was the only child of his parent s. He laid the foundation of a solid education at the local district scho ol in his native town, and was then given the advantages of an excellent c ourse at the Bellefontaine High School, from which he was graduated with h onor in the class of '76. He then pursued his studies in the Normal Scho ol at Lebanon, Ohio, and was graduated from the commercial department. Aft er that he took a miscellaneous course in the same institution, making a s pecialty of languages. With his mind thus thoroughly trained, after teach ing one term in the Franklin School in this county, he commenced the stu dy of law, toward which his ambition had long pointed, and for which his n atural abilities peculiarly fitted him. He became a student in the law of fice of Keifer & White, was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1879, a nd in the fall of that year opened an office in Springfield, and for mo re than a decade has been in active practice in this city, his well-kno wn ability and faithfulness to the interests of his patrons bringing h im in a fair clientage. During his busy career he has been able to devo te considerable time to the literature of his profession, and is the joi nt author with Judge White of a valuable work, entitled "Mechanics and Su b-Contractors Liens," which has been very highly commended for its eruditi on and the clear exposition of the laws in such cases. Our subject has al so contributed to the English and American Encyclopaedia of Law, as we ll as a work of selected questions from the Ohio Supreme Court Reports, f or the use of students, etc. On Memorial Day, 1889, he delivered the addr ess before the Grand Army Post of Vienna, which, at their request, was pub lished, and has been read with deep interest by Grand Army circles far a nd wide. He is a valued member of Clark Lodge, No.101, A. F. & A. M.; a nd of Red Star Lodge, No.205, K. of P. In April, 1890, Mr. Rockel was nom inated by the Republican party for Judge of Probate.

As showing the estimation in which Mr. Rockel is held by his fellow-citize ns, we will insert the following as voicing their sentiments, which we quo te from two leading local papers: From the Sentinel--" William M. Rocke l, who is announced in the Sentinel this week for Probate Judge, is well k nown to our readers. He is a farmer's son, being a native of Moorefield T ownship, this county, has never held an office, has had ten years experien ce at the bar, is the joint author, with Judge White, of a legal work on M echanic's Liens, and was appointed by the Supreme Court of Ohio to exami ne applicants for admission to the bar; has served on the Clark County Rep ublican and Executive Committees during the past seven years, one ye ar as Secretary and two years as Vice-Chairman; was temporary and permane nt Chairman of our last county convention, and is in every respect wort hy and well qualified." From the Sunday News--" William Rockel is maki ng a strong fight for the Probate Judgeship. He is, perhaps, one of the be st equipped candidates for the position. It has never been said that at a ny time he ever mismanaged or neglected any business entrusted to his car e. As a legal author, his is a very creditable reputation. His knowled ge of the German language would make his selection an accommodation to o ur large German population. The old soldiers will remember his very ab le and patriotic address made on last Memorial Day at Vienna, and print ed by request of the Grand Army Post in full in the Republic-Times. Whi le pronounced in his Republicanism, he is always a fair and honorable oppo nent. His long, active, efficient and unrewarded service in the committ ee and on the stump, in behalf of the Republican cause, with his unquestio ned qualifications, appeal very strongly in his behalf for this nomination ."

Mi.. Rockel has the advantage of a fine education as the basis of his prof essional knowledge, and brings to his task a well-disciplined min d.

Young WILLI AM recieved a limited education and remained upon the home farm, engag ed at farming, until the death of his parents, which occurred when he w as about nineteen years of age. He than had the responsibility of reari ng the younger members of the family, and renting a farm conducted it succ essfully until going to California in 1852, where he remained eighteen yea rs. While visiting in Indiana, April 24, 1862, he was married to ELIZA, da ughter of WILLIAM T. ROSS, one of the pioneers of Wabash County. This uni on is blessed with seven children, viz., SARAH ELIZABETH, VIRGINIA, EDWA RD R., LEWIS, CHARLES and RALPH. MR. COLBERT was a passenger on the ill fa ted steamer Yankee Blade, and losing several thousand dollars, the accumul ations of years, was compelled to return to the "land of gold" and commen ce anew the search for fortune.

[HI19128] (Research):This family submitted by Russell Sarver. This family moved to St Louis Mis souri. on, Leonard Dewtitt Ford,

[HI19130] (Research):Because Mary was listed as a 4 month old infant in the 1776 census of Lower Spesutia Hundred, Harford Co., Maryland - and the census was returned on the 19th day of Aug.1776 by Ashberry Cox (have copy of original) - therefore she would have to have been 24 yrs. old when married - Joseph made oath she was twenty one which - SHE WAS +.

From «u»anitajean@cfl.rr.com
«/u»ancestor of Mary Burgner and Cheryl Cline, was listed with her parents in 1776 census in Spesutia Lower Hundred Harford Co., MD as an infant. Parents: James Ford age 22; Blanche 23. Mary Ford m. Francis Stevenson Dec. 24, 1800. Mason Co., KY. Mary and Francis Stevenson migrated with Ford/Stevenson/Ashing to Champaign Co., OH before 1811 when Francis was listed as a voter in poll record for Urbana Township. The couple was among first pioneers in Auglaize Twp Allen Co., OH 1830. Francis and Mary are buried in Salem Cem. in Auglaize Twp. Also buried there are James and Sarah Jane Ford Ashing and John and Susanna Bassett Ford. We know that Francis Stevenson sold land in Champaign Co., in 1829 before he moved to Allen Co., OH as one of the very first settlers in Auglaize Twp there.

We think that the mother Blanche Ford, Joseph and Catherine Snell Ford, James and Sarah Jane Ford Ashing, and Francis and Mary Ford Stevenson all left KY about 1808 and went to Champaign Co., OH

Descendants from Mary C Burgner «u»mcburgner@woh.rr.com .
«/u»Provided 8/2008, see Mary for Sources
Mary Ford – 1776-1848 – was listed with her parents in 1776 census in Spesutia Lower Hundred, Harford Co., MD as a 4 mo. infant. Parents James Ford – 22; Blanch – 23. (Census was completed 19 Aug. 1776) – Francis & Mary (Ford) Stevenson migrated with the Ford's, Stevenson's, and Ashing's to Champaign Co., OH by 1811 - Francis was
listed as a voter in poll record for Urbana Twp.

They were among the first pioneers in Auglaize Twp., Allen Co., OH –
1830 James & Sara Jane (Ford) Ashing and John & Susanna (Bassett)
Ford are also buried in the Salem Methodist Cem.

[BI19130] The fact that the young couple WAS in Harford Co., MD in the 1776 census with the four month old da. Mary, that is not sufficient proof in my estimation that Mary was BORN in Harford Co.
