OBITUARY: Obituary of Albert Smead from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, 7 March 1919;
Albert Smead Dies After Long Illness
Operated Trucking Business for Years; Veteran of the Civil War
Albert Smead, Seventy-eight years old, one of Fort Wayne's most widely known
truckmen, and a veteran of the civil was, died at his home, 1417 East Wayne street,
at 3:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon from complications, after a lingering illness
covering a period of five years.
Mr. Smead was born in Allen county and received his education in the schools of Fort
Wayne. After the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted February 14, 1862, in
company 11, Indiana volunteer artillery, and served until his discharge at
Chattanooga, Tenn., February 13, 1865. After his service he returned to this city,
later engaging in the trucking business with which he was associated for thirty-five
years. For the past three weeks prior to his death, he had been bed fast. He was
a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and the Lawtan Wayne post, G. A. R.,
and of the Cathedral congregation. Surviving relatives are the widow.
Funeral services will be conducted at an hour to be announced later, at which
friends are kindly requested to omit flowers.

NOTE from Brian Smead: Three sons, that I knowof, of John Milton Smead and Rachel
Hatfield were Civil War veterans, Albert, Edward C. and Thomas H Smead.

NOTES: Information on Albert Smead came from Brian Smead, bsmead@gte.net, 10/1999, who got it from the 1850, 1860, and 1880 census. Brian notes that he does not know whether Rachel is really Albert's mother (which would possibly make him a twin of Louicy), or if John Smead's first wife is his mother. Based on the 1880 census, placing Albert born in 1833, have put Albert with John Smead's first wife.

HEINRICH CHRONISTER - the second son of Johannes and Maria Barbara (Weidenbach) Cronister was born in the year 1744 in Huntington Township of Lancaster (later Adams) County Pennsylvania. According to the records of the Lower Bermudian Lutheran Church in Latimore Township, Adams County, Heinrich Kranester, son of Johannes Kranester, was confirmed on April 29, 1764. Through out his life Heinrich is mentioned in other recoreds of this church indicating that he was a faithful member all of his life.
On November 7, 1768, at the Lower Bermudian Church, Heinrich was married to SUSANNA COX or (COXEN) who was the daughter of WILLIAM COX and his wife ANNA (ELLICKER) COX of Huntington Township. Susanna was the granddaughter of the Swill immigrant CASPER ELLICKER and his wife ANNA RITZ who came to America in 1743 from the small village of Kuessnacht in Canton Burich Switzerland. Casper Ellicker died in 1766 but his second wife Susanna lived to see many of her great-grandchildren.
Heinrich and Susanna became the parents of sixteen children all of whom were born in Reading Township of York County, Pennsylvania. They are;

Soon after his marriage Heinrich began to build a farm in Reading Township just to the south of Latimore Township. According to early Pennsylvania tax records by 1779 he was already clearing and farming 480 acres. He also added large tracts of land to his holdings in 1794 and 1801. Noting the size of Heinrich's farm by the turn of the century it is clear that he was one of the wealthiest men in the county at the time. He was also a man of much prominence in the local community being appointed assessor for Reading Township in 1800.
Heinrich died on August 15, 1818 and is buried near his parents in the Lower Bermudian Church cemetary in Latimore Township. His wife Susanna preceeded him in death on April 7, 1814 and is buried at his side. The inscription on Heinrich's gravestone reads; [see BURIAL source above]
