fall 1777 -- Lancaster Co. Hist. Soc. Papers, vol. 1:
The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
was completed 28
Sep
1776.
It was not submitted to a vote of the people, but went into immediate
effect.
These
patriots
were not taking any chances. They held the reins of government
and kept
them well
in
hand
until the United States was free and independent.
Under this Constitution the Supreme Court
was organized. Thomas
McKean
was made
Chief Justice, William A. Atlee second Judge, and John Evans, of Chester
county,
third
Judge.
The Court first met in Lancaster, in the spring of 1777 and tried many
Tories
and
confiscated
their land.
This Constitution had defects of form, which
it is not necessary to
enumerate in
this
connection; but there was no uncertainty in its hostility to royalty
and all that
word
implied.
In the fall of 1777 the Assembly passed measures
calling for an election of
delegates to
meet
28 Nov 1788 to frame a new Constitution for the State. The people
throughout the
State
were
indignant and sent many petitions like the annexed one, containing
the names
of
nine-tenth
of the
voters in the State. This was too much for the Assembly, and
they rescinded
the
resolution,
47 yeas to 7 noes.
The Petition
Martick
Township
To the Honorable the Representatives of the freemen of the State of
Pennsylvania
this
Memorial
Humbley Sheweth:
That your Memorialists are of Opinion that
frequent Changes in
Government
have a
tendency
to weakin it, and to Creat Divisions and Conttests among the people
and
ought as
much as
possible to be avoided.
That, therefore, your taking up and passing
a late Resolution for taking
the Sense
of the
people upon Certain Matters in the Constitution of this Commonwealth
before
the
people
have
had sufficient Experience of it, has a tendency to produce the above
Mentioned bad
Effects,
Especially as said Resolve appears to have been Grounded mainly upon
Supposed
Inconvenencys
in the present Constitution and form of Government Suggested by divers
petitions to
former
Assemblies of this Commonwealth and adopted without any call of the
Community
--
without
any Representation from the Executive Branch specifying the Incompetency
of
the
present
Constitution for the purposes of Good Government -- without any
Concurrance
of
that
Honorable Body that we know of -- or any Opposition or Embarrassment
in
the way
--
Obstrucking the Execution of your Laws that we have heard of.
We Cannot
help,
therefore,
being of the Opinion, that in passing Resolve in Question--Especially
in the
Mannor
and
Circumstances above Mentioned -- you have Exceeded the powere Delegated
to you
-- and
treated that Constitution of which you were the appointed Guardians
with
Great
Neglect.
That, however, your Memorialists -- if just
and weighty reasons would be
assigned --
might
not be against calling a convention. Yet we Cannot look up the
Mannor in
which
you have
appointed the votes to be taken to be fare and unexceptionable -- the
Question
is
perplexed
by
your Doubling it, and however they who are for a Convention may vote
on
Both
Sides --
we
cannot see the propriety or Consistancy of voting against one -- and
at the
same time
Electing
the Members who are to Compose it.
And there are great Numbers of your Constitutuents
who have taken a
solemn
oath to
preserve the present Constitution--and who deserve well of this
Commonwealth,
who are
apprehensive will not then be themselves justifiable in putting it
into the hands
of a
Convention in
any other way than by the Constitution Itself is directed -- and who
we are
persuaded
Cannot
bring themselves to a Complyance with the Resolve in question, in its
proposed
Mode
of Execution.
For these Causes -- and before you put good
people of this State to the
Great
trouble
and
Expense of a New Convention, Your Memorialists presume that you will
take
the
first
Opportunity of revising your late resolve -- and that your Wisdom and
Goodness and
Your
Regard to the Peace and Tranquility of this State will Induce you Either
to
drop it
Intirely
or
adopt it and Carry it into Execution in a Mannor not Lyable to any
Great and
Just
Exceptions.

WHEREAS BENJAMIN DILLARD, formerly of Little Britain Township,
Lancaster
County,
obtained bonds of the for the payment of land, one of which, containing
forty
pounds, was
due in
May, 1777, and I have made a legal tender of the money to the person
whom I
have
great
reason
to believe has my bond; but he denies having it, though he acknowledged
if I
would
pay
him in
such money as he gave for it he would find it, alledging the invalidity,
and
shewing
certain
tokens
of his disrespect to the present currency. Therefore as the bond is
secreted,
this is to
give
notice
to any person who may have it, to call upon me for the money any time
before
the
first day
of
June next, otherwise I will then pay it into the office at Lancaster
and get a
discharge
against the
bond. ALEXANDER SNODGRASS. ... vss - end]

John R. Ross, a retired agriculturist, who
has tilled the soil of one
farm for sixty years, and who retired from his three-score years of
farm labor
in 1900, is a native of Pymatuning twp., born near Sharpsville, PA,
24 jan
1839, a son of john and Elizabeth (Barr) Ross, both natives of Westmoreland
Co., PA. The father was born in 1798 and died in 1852, while the
mother was
born in 1800, survived until 1877. They were united in marriage
in
Westmoreland Co. and had three children: Eliza, John R., of this
memoir, and
Sarah C., wife of John W. Snodgrass, residing near Jamestown, [Mercer
Co.]
PA.
The grandfather of John R. Ross was John Randall
Ross, a native of the
North of Ireland, but of Scotch and Irish parentage. When a young
mane, he
emigrated from Ireland to this country, married here and reared a family
of
five sons and two daughters, the father of John R. being the second
child in
order of their birth. He could have easily purchased a farm on
land upon
which the city of Pittsburg now stands, but he desired to raise grain
on
higher lands, so he settled near West Newton, Westmoreland Co., PA.
He
ranked
among the pioneers of that section of Pennsylvania. Under his
farm was
discovered a 12-foot vein of coal.
John Ross, the father, reached manhoon on
the old homestead. Soon after
his marriage he wended his way to Mercer county, and located near
Orangeville,
in Pymatuning twp., where he lived a number of years, then purchased
a farm
near Sharpsville, known today as "Shadyside Farm," where he spent his
last
years, dying at the age of fifty-five years. He never cared to
hold public
office, but was an ardent defender of the principles of the democratic
party,
while in church faith he was of the old Seceders' church of the Presbyterian
creed.
His son, John R. Ross, spent his youthful
days working on the old
homestead during the summer months and attending school winters, having
to
walk more than two miles to the school house, which was anything but
a
sample
of our modern-day school buildings. He has remained on one farm
more than
three score years, doing general farming. Politically, he is a
supporter of
the Republican party, and in church connection is of the United Presbyterian
denomination.
During the dark days of the great Civil war,
Mr. Ross enlisted in Co. D,
211 PA Regt. Vols., the dat of enlistment being 2 Sep 1864. He
served one
year and was honorably discharged 2 Jun 1865, at Alexandria, VA.
He
participated in all the skirmishes and battles which his regiment was
engaged
in, including Fort Steadman, and was in front of Petersburg during the
great
siege of that place.
Mr. Ross was married 16 Jul 1872 to Eleanor
B. Snodgrass, born in
Crawford
Co., PA, 17 Jun 1837, and who died 14 Sep 1896 at the age of 59 years.
She
was the daughter of John Snodgrass and wife. The father was born
in the
North
of Ireland of Scotch and Irish parentage, and came to American when
a young
man, becoming one of the hardy pioneers of Crawford Co., PA. He
was
among the
early settlers who were compelled to cut away the dense forests, in
order to
clear up land for cultivation. At that date all was an untamed
wilderness,
infested with Indian bands and wild beasts, far from companionable to
the
human hand. Here he reared a large family, having three boys and
eight girls
around his fireside. He was a Seceder in church faith, and politically
he
supported the old line Whig party.
To Mr. and Mrs. Ross was born one son and
one daughter: Preston C., an
electrician, and Lida Belle, a teacher in the Sharpsville public schools.

Samuel C. Wilt is the proprietor of the widely
known "Glendale Farm,"
situated in Sugar Grove twp., this county, near the line of the old
Erie
canal. He is not only widely known as a farmer but his reputation
has
extended over much of western Pennsylvania from the fact that for 21
years he
operated a portable saw mill. It was the first mill of its kind
in this
section of the state and during the period mentioned Mr. Wilt succeeded
in
cuttiing over two million feet of lumber. In these days it is
almost
impossible to estimate the extent of his usefulness to the pioneers
of
Pennsylvania in the conduct of the enterprise mentioned.
Mr. Wilt is a native of Venango Co., PA, born
17 Oct 1836, son of George
and Mary (Wiker) Wilt. The father is a native of Center Co., PA,
born 12 Oct
1800, and in 1833 came to Venango county and continued to engage in
farming
until lhis death, which occurred at the home of his son, Samuel C.,
of this
sketch. His wife, who is also deceased, was born in 1799, daughter
of John
Wiker, who was long engaged in farming near Franklin, PA. There
were five
children born to Mr. and Mrs. George Wilt, of whom Samuel C. is the
only
one
now living, his deceased brother and sisters being: Jacob, Mary,
Joannah, and
Susanna.
Samuel C. Wilt received his education in the
district schools of Venango
Co., for which privileges his parents paid one dollar per term, accordiing
to
the rates then prevailing in the old time subscription establishments.
After
leaving school he gave his entire time to the assistance of his parents
on the
farm and remained with them until he was thirty-three years of age,
when he
came to Sugar Grove twp. and located on the tract of land which he now
occupies. It was then partially cleared and he has since not only
prepared
the land for cultivation but made the improvements which have fashioned
it
into a desirable piece of country property. In 1883 Mr. Wilt purchased
a
threshing machine, which by his mechanical ingenuity was transformed
into a
portable saw mill. this he moved from place to place, and the
business proved
so profitable that he continued in it for 21 years. He then returned
to
farming and has since devoted himself to the development of his property,
which is widely known as the "Glendale Farm." It contains an interesting
memorial of the old Erie canal in the well-defined two-path, which still
may
be traced over its surface. Mr. and Mrs. Wilt are members of the
Methodist
church. He is a faithful Democratic voter, but has never desired
prominence
in any walk of life, being content to do his duty modestly and without
hope of
present reward.
On 24 Sep 1863 Mr. Wilt was married at Franklin,
PA, to Miss Elizabeth
Chrispen, daughter of William and Sarah (McLean) Chrispen. Her
father, well
known as a substantial farmer of Pennsylvania, died in 1890 at the age
of 71
years. His wife survived him until 1903, when she passed away,
aged 84
years.
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Wilt. Their
eldest was
William Edward, born in 1865 and who is engaged in farming on a place
adjoining the old homestead. He married Miss Margaret Snodgrass,
daughter
of
John and Sarah (Kline) Snodgrass, well known residents of Crawford Co.,
PA.
Their children are: John and Virgil, aged respectively 16 and
14, and Eva and
Florence, 6 and 5 years of age. John, the second son of Samuel
C. Wilt, is
deceased, and Ralph, the third, is living at home with his parents.
Frank
Leslie Wilt, the youngest of the family, married Miss Elizabeth Wilson
and is
also living on a farm adjoining the old family homestead. mr.
and Mrs. Frank
L. Wilt have become the parents of two children--Clayton Leon, Randall
E.
Besides Mrs. Samuel C. Wilt there were ten children in her family, as
follows:
George Chrispen, a farmer now residing at Oil City, PA; Manuel, a farmer
residing at Franklin, PA; Osborn, living at Oil Field, OH; Sarah, now
Mrs. J.
Whitner, whose husband is a farmer of Franklin; George, who was a soldieer
in
the Civil war; and David, Phoebe, Permilla, Ann, and William, all of
whom are
also deceased.

Samuel Andrew McClure's father, John McClure,
was born 1 Nov 1817, in
Perry Twp., Mercer Co., PA, and died in Jan 1894. The mother
was Mary Jane
(Kerr) McClure, born in Mercer county and who died at the age of 58
years.
Their seven children were: Eliza, now Mrs. A. H. Mahan, of Westford,

Ervin E. Reed is well known in the business
circles of Greenville as a
member of the house of Hecker and Reed, dealers in flour and feed.
He is
also
numbered among the Spanish-American war soldiers, having enlisted on
10
Jun
1898, in Co. K, 15th Regt. of PA Vol. Inf. He was called out on
27 Apr
1898,
for he had first enlisted in 1895, and served with the PA National Guard.
He
served as the corporal of his company, and received an honorable discharge
on
17 Nov 1898. He is now a member of Thomas Evans Camp No. 12, Spanish
War
Veterans, and also has membership relations with Custer Lodge No. 469,
Knights
of Pythias, and Alhambra Lodge Nor. 293 I.O.O.F. Mr. Reed traces
his
ancestry
to Ireland and Scotland. His grandfather, Michael Reed, was born
in 1806 in
Lawrence Co., PA, and from there came to Mercer Co. and worked at his
trade of
cabinet-making. He was also numbered among the pioneer agriculturists
of
this county.
John Mathew Reed, the seventh of the ten children
born to Michael Reed,
claimed Mercer county as the place of his nativity, as he was born here
on 20
Feb 1843, and he died on 26 Dec 1907, one of the highly esteemed
citizens
and
business men of this community. He attained to mature years on
the
homestead
farm in Mercer Co., but sometime in the '60s he drifted westward to
Indiana,
Illinois, and Iowa, where he worked at his trade of marble-cutting until
he
returned to his old home here. Resuming his trade of marble-cutting,
he
worked at that and at stone-cutting until he returned to the farm in
1888, and
from that time until his death he followed the tilling of the soil for
a
livelihood. He served his town of West Salem well and faithfully
for a number
of years as a school director, and at the time of his death was the
incumbent
in the office of supervisor. His politics were Democratic, and
he was a
stanch and true member of the United Presbyterian church. In his
early
manhood he married Mary E. Snodgrass, born in Greene Twp., her natal
day
being
8 Jun 1851, and she is now living on the old homestead farm in West
Salem
twp. Alexander Snodgrass, her father, was a farmer, and he spent
his days in
Pennsylvania, a true and faithful member of the United Presbyterian
church,
and a Democrat in his political affiliations. He was of Irish
parentage.
John Mathew Reed and Mary E. Snodgrass were married in Greene twp.,
and
their
union was blessed by the birth of nine children, namely: Elsworth,
who died
at the age of 29 years; Alpheus, who died at the age of 19 years; Harry
A.,
Milton A., Ervin E., Jennie E., Elsie L., Frederick P., and Lulu B.
Ervin E. Reed was born in Hempfield Twp.,
Mercer Co., 28 Aug 1877,
and
remaining at home with his parents until sixteen years of age, he then
became
a clerk in a gro He next became associated with the Bessemer &
Lake Erie
Railroad Company, but some time afterward resumed his grocery clerkship,
and
in the fall of 1905 he became associated with J. S. Hecker in the flour
and
feed business in Greenville.
On 26 Aug 1903, Mr. Reed was united in marriage
with Clara M. Bortz,
who
was born in this city on 19 Jan 1879, a daughter of Tilgman and Sarah
(Beckman) Bortz, both of whom were born in Mercer Co. Tilgman
Bortz was
born
in the twp. of West Salem, and he learned and followed the trade of
shoemaking, the larger part of his life having been spent in Greenville.
He
was a member in good standing of the Lutheran church, and was identified
politically with the Republican party. He had been twice married,
and by his
first union he had two children, but both died in infancy. mrs.
Bortz, of
German parentage, survives her husband, and she is the mother ot two
children,
Frederick and Mrs. Reed, the son also living in Greenville. Mr.
Reed gives
his political support to the Democracy, and he is a member of the Lutheran
church.

Lewis S. Yeager, who is a substantial farmer
of Perry twp., conducting
both a farm and a dairy on one of the old picturesque homesteads of
Mercer
county, was born on the farm which he now occupies on 21 May 1870.
His
grandparents and father were all born in Prussia, the former being Peter
and
Mary C. (Wadenphul) Yeager, who landed in New York City from the
fatherland on
26 Oct 1840. The mother of the family died just before landing,
and on 12
Nov
of the same year the father brought the children to Pittsburg, where
he was a
truck farmer of Chartier township until his death. He reared nine
children,
of whom Peter, the father of Lewis S., was the second in order of birth.
Peter Yeager, Sr., was a veteran of the German army, with which he was
connected for nine years, serving as an officer in the war of 1812.
Peter
Yeager was reared a farmer, and on 7 Mar 1848, married Mary, daughter
of
Jacob
F. Smith, of Woods Run, Allegheny Co., and five years afterward located
on
the
homestead in Perry twp., which was the birthplace of most of their eleven
children. The mother, born 10 Jun 1832, is living with her son,
of this
sketch. Her father, a native of Germany, died in 1880, aged 75,
and her
mother, Mary Magdalena Ochner, passed away at the age of 62 years.
she
was
the daughter of Geroge Ochner, a native and lifelong resident of Germany.
His
wife was burned to death. The house in which she lived caught
fire and she,
rushing to to get her babe, was overcome, and both she and her child
perished
in the flames. Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to America about 1844 and
settled
near Pittsburg, and from there moved to Greenville on the old Jamestown
road
in 1853, which made them among the pioneers of that section. Besides
Mrs.
Yeager, there are two members of the family living-- George Smith, a
farmer
of
Sugar Grove twp., and Caroline, now the wife of J. Snodgrass, an Iowa
farmer.

SNODGRASS REUNION
The first Snodgrass reunion was held Saturday at Sunset Grove when
descendants of John Snodgrass, who came to Jamestown in 1817, from
Ireland, met for their first reunion. The homestead at Jamestown
is now owned by a grandson, Alexander Snodgrass. A delightful
dinner was served with places for 60 relatives and friends. A short
program in charge of Stanley Rodgers was enjoyed. An interesting
address was given by Rev. J. D. Gibson. Mrs. John Jaradet gave a
clever reading. Short recitations were given by several of
the children.
The following officers were elected: President, William S.
Snodgrass; vice president, Anna Lutton; secretary, Mrs. James
Rodgers; treasurer, John Snodgrass; chairman of the table
committee, Mrs. Fred Loutzenhiser; entertainment committee,
Edythe Snodgrass and Helen Lutton.
The remainder of the day was enjoyed by visiting and playing
games. It was decided that the next reunion will be held at
Sunset Grove, August 28, 1930.
John Snodgrass, the original American ancestor, was married in
1826 to Ann Listen and they had 11 children, from whom the
present reunion is descended.

Philadelphia, PA, 16 Sep 1922.
I certify that I have this day examined marriage
license application No.
100270, filed in the office of the Clerk of the Orphans Court of the
City and
County of Philadelphia, Pa., and the following information is taken
therefrom:
The application is signed by Henry G. Carlton,
and is dated February 3,
1898, and was sworn to by said party on that date before an assistant
clerk of
the court. It recites that Henry Gray Carlton, who is making application
for
marriage of himself to Lizzie C. Dorff, was born in Camden, N.J., on
May 31,
1857; that he resides at 52 and Greenway Ave., that he is a carpenter
by
occupation, and that he has not been married before.
That Lizzie C. Dorff, whom he is about to
marry, was born in
Philadelphia, Pa., is 28 years old, and resides at 1232 S. 45 1/2 St.,
occupation domestic, and that she has not been married before.
Frank J. Bain
Philadelphia, PA, 26 Sep 1922.
I certify that I have this day searched the
indexes to the marriage
records filed in the Division of Vital Statistics, Bureau of Health,
of the
City and County of Philadelphia, Pa., from 1870 to 1877, and during
that
period I find no record of marriage under the name of Alpheus S. Snodgrass,
Harry G. Carlton, Henry G. Carlton, or similar names. This search
made for
the reason that it is suggested that the soldier had a marriage prior
to his
enlisted which might have influenced him in changing his name.

Case of Elizabeth C. Carlton, #15648.
On this 15 day of September, 1922, at Philadelphia,
county of
Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, before me, Frank J. Bain, a Special
Examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Elizabeth C.
Carlton...
I am 53 years of age. My postoffice
address is 1112 South Twenty-ninth
Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Occupation, housekeeping. I live
here with my
children, Arthur, Charlotta, and Albert Carlton.
My full and correct name Elizabeth Canon Carlton.
I am generally called
"Lizzie" by my friends. My maiden name Elizabeth Canon.
My parents were
James Canon and Catherine Canon, nee Jackson. My father died when
I was
about
two years old. My mother remarried a man named William Dorff when
I was
about
three years old. I was reared by my step-father Mr. Dorff and
I always went
by the name of Dorff prior to my marriage. I was the only child
of my
parents. My mother had no children by Mr. Dorff. Both my
mother and
step-father have been dead for many years. I was born in Philadelphia,
Pa.,
and have lived in this city all my life. My parents had no brothers
or
sisters to my knowledge and so far as I know I have no relatives living
outside of my own children.
I had no child or grandchild, or other relative
in the U.S. Military or
naval service during the late World War and I performed no such service
myself. I am not a beneficiary or applicant for compensation under
the
provisions of the War Risk Insurance laws.
I am not a pensioner and have never received
a pension in my life. I am
an applicant for pension as the widow of Henry G. Carlton, who served
in Co.
B, 6 U.S. Infantry, in 1876 and 1877, in Indian Campaigns in the West.
He
served in the Army under the name of Alpheus S. Snodgrass. My
husband
was an
Indian War pensioner and received his pension under the name of Alpheus
S.
Snodgrass. He died in the U. S. Soldiers Home, Washington, D.C.,
on
October
7, 1921. He was buried in the Soldiers Home Cemetery. I
was present at his
funeral.
The soldier's full and correct name was Henry
Gray Carlton. He had the
nickname of "Harry" and that is what I always heard him called.
I never heard
anyone call him Henry, although that is his correct name. I believe
it is a
very general thing to call persons named "Henry" by the name of "Harry".
The
soldier was born in Philadelphia, Pa., so far as I know. I know
from his
remarks that he lived in Philadelphia from boyhood. His parents'
names are
unknown to me, except it now comes to my mind that he spoke of his mother
being named "Mary". From his remarks I judge that his father was
harsh with
him and he had very little affection for his father. I never met
either of
his parents. They had died before I became acquainted with him.
The soldier
had no brothers to my knowledge. He used to speak affectionately
of a sister
Charlotta who was dead and it was for her that our girl child named.
I never
met his sister. She had died prior to the time I became acquainted
with the
soldier. So far as I know the soldier has no living relatives
outside of his
own children. we both used to remark that neither of us had nay
kin, and our
children have commented on the fact that they never had Uncles or Aunts.
The soldier enlisted in the U.S. Army under
the name of Alpheus S.
Snodgrass. He often related to me the circumstances under which he enlisted
by
that name, and he also repeated it to our friends. It seems that
he had had a
quarrel with his father, with whom he never got along pleasantly, and
his
father had beat him up, so he decided to enlist in the army. He
enlisted with
some boy friend, or "buddy", and this friend counseled him to take an
assumed
name so that his father could not find <him>. This he did and
he said he took
the name of a deceased cousin, Alpheus S. Snodgrass. He said that
that was
the first name he thought of and he knew the man was dead and that the
name
would answer his purposes. He enlisted in Philadelphia, Pa.
I think he was
discharged at some Fort in the West, Fort Lincoln, Neb., I think it
was. At
least, I have heard him speak of being at Fort Lincoln. He talked
freely of
his service. He used to speak of the Little Big Horn River.
He told me that
his outfit went to bring in Custer's men after Custer's Massacre.
He was not
in the Custer Fight but was among the men who was sent to relieve Custer.
He
spoke of them picking up the dead and bringing back the wounded.
I have
often
heard him mention the names of his officers but I can't remember them
to save
my life, nor do I know the names of his comrades. None of his
comrades ever
visited him.
Q. Was the soldier sick while he was
in the army?
A. Yes. He said he had the measles
while he was in the army and was
under the doctor's care for about six months. He used to speak
of how well
he
was fed in the Hospital, and how poorly he was fed when he was well.
He
used
to say they fed him on chicken while in the Hospital. I do not
know where the
Hospital was located. I think he was discharged from the service
on account
of disability. He said he was discharged on account of chronic
lumbago and
muscular rheumatism. He used to suffer greatly from rheumatism
and always
claimed he contracted it in the army.
Q. Describe the personal appearance
of your husband?
A. He was about 5 feet and eleven inches
in height. He had blue eyes,
fair skin and dark hair, almost black. His hair turned silver
white before
his death. I think he was about 18 years old when he enlisted.
Q. Are you sure he enlisted in Philadelphia?
A. I think so. He lived here before
<he> enlisted, but he might have
run away and enlisted somewhere else.
Q. Are you sure he was born in Philadelphia?
A. I have always understood he was born
here.
Q. The records show the soldier enlisted
in Newport, Ky. Can you
explain this?
A. If that is true, he must have run
away from home and enlisted.
Q. The records, soldier's own statements,
show he was born in West Va.
Explain this?
A. I think that was the birthplace of
his cousin Alpheus S. Snodgrass,
whose name he assumed.
Q. Did the soldier have any permanent
marks or scars on his person?
A. None that I can remember.
Q. Have you a photograph of the soldier?
A. Yes. I have a small snapshot
of him taken with another soldier, a
boy in the neighborhood, a World War veteran. I hand you this
for use in my
claim, with the request that it be returned to me when my claim is settled.
Q. I now read to you the names William
Brinkman, John Duffy and
Winfield
Vermillion, who were members of the soldier's company. Are these
names
familiar to you?
A. No. I never heard him mention
those names so far as I can recall. I
remember that he used to speak of a German doctor who treated him while
he
was
sick. He used to joke about this doctor and said they called him
Dr.
"Kill-em-Quick".
I do not have the soldier's original discharge
certificate and so far as
I can recollect I never saw it in my life.
Q. When did the soldier first apply
for pension?
A. I don't know. I used to urge
him to apply for pension long before he
did and <he> told me that he had applied through Gen. O'Neill in
Philadelphia,
Pa., and that he had died while the matter was being settled and then
he could
not find his papers.
Q. When did you first learn that your
husband enlisted under the name of
Alpheus S. Snodgrass?
A. Years ago. Long, long before
he was granted this pension.
Q. Did you know he was pensioned under
the name of Snodgrass?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you ever suggest to him that
he should have his name straightened
out before the Pension Bureau?
A. I never suggested to him, but it
worried him and he said to me one
day, "Lizzie, I have done wrong, and just as soon as I get strength
I am going
to take you down to Mr. Wray (pension attorney) and right this wrong,
because
it is an injustice to you and the children." He never improved
after that and
I never bothered him with the matter, tho' he mentioned it several times.
I
was more concerned over his health than I was the prospect of a pension.
He had worked for nine yars before he became
too ill to work for
Harrison's Chemical Works (Now Dupont's Works), 35 and Grays Ferry
Road.
They
would have paid his expenses in the University Hospital, Philadelphia,
where
they maintain a couple of beds, and no doubt he would have received
good
care
there, but he insisted on going to the Soldiers Home, D.C., and he had
great
faith in the Home. He was in the Home from Sept. 8, to Oct. 7,
1921, when
he
died. I visited him once in the Home and also attended his funeral.
He
always used to say that he wanted to be laid away with his "buddies"
meaning
that he wanted a soldier's burial with soldiers.
Q. How many times have you been married?
A. Only once. My only marriage
was to Henry G. Carlton. I married him
under the name of Elizabeth Canon Dorf in Philadelphia, Pa., on February
3,
1898, by William H. Robinson, or Robertson, in his house at 45 and Baltimore
Ave. Rev. Robertson was an Episcopal Minister.
Q. How many times was Mr. Carlton married?
A. Only once.
Q. He had been married before, hadn't
he?
A. Oh no! He had never been married
before.
Q. He was a man well up in years.
How do you know he had never been
married before?
A. He was 41 years old when we were
married. I had been acquainted
with
him since January 1893, and I knew people who had been acquainted with
him
long before that. He was known to everybody as an old bachelor.
If you
knew
him as I knew him you would know he had not been married before.
Q. Who knew him from the time he was
a young man?
A. Mrs. Mattie Noross knew him before
he went to the army and
afterwards
too. Mrs. Katie Maynes, who lives at the same address, 6633 Elmwood
Ave.,
also knew him from the time he was a young man, and they knew me from
the
time
I was a child. Mrs. Noross knew me from the time I was almost
a baby.
Q. Were you ever separated from Mr.
Carlton or divorced from him?
A. N. We lived together continuously
from the day we were married to
the time he went to the Soldiers Home in Washington, which was just
a month
before his death. We were never separated a day after we were
married until
that time and we were never divorced. We had a number of children
who died
in
infancy. We have four living children namely:
Arthur V. Carlton,
Chicago, Ill., street address unknown, who is 23
years old.
Charlotta Carlton,
age 22, at home with me.
Albert Carlton,
age 20, at home with me.
George C. Carlton,
age 15, at home with me.
Q. Have you remarried since the death
of the soldier?
A. No. I was living at this address
when the soldier died and have
lived here since.
I have heard read to me a letter written by
the soldier to the Pension
Office, dated April 3, 1907, 1515 S. Stillman St., Philadelphia, in
which he
mentions that he had been traveling away from home. This travel
must have
taken place before I met him. He lived in Philadelphia from the
time I first
met him. You have told me that he lived in Baltimore, Md., in
1892, when he
first applied for pension. He must have been temporarily there
because he
worked for the Atlantic Refinery in 1890 and 1891, and 1892 also, I
presume.
In 1888 and 1889 he worked in the erection of the House of Correction
at
Holmesburg, Pa. In the time I knew him my husband was a carpenter
by
trade. I
do not know his occupation when he enlisted. I think he was too
young to
have
had a trade.
I understand that I have the right to be present
in person or by attorney
during the taking of further testimony in my pension claim here and
elsewhere.
I do not wish to be present and waive all notice of further examination.
I am
willing for the government to go right ahead and do whatever is thought
necessary.
I employed no attorney in the prosecution
of my claim and have no
agreement to pay a fee to any person in case my claim is granted.
I have read the foregoing statement and it
is correct.
Elizabeth C. Carlton
I have one child under the age of sixteen years
and that is George C.
Carlton, born in Philadelphia, Pa., on July 25, 1907. He is living
and in my
care and custody. This has been read and is correct.
Elizabeth C. Carlton
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 15 day
of September 1922, and I
certify that the contents were fully made known to deponent before signing.
