ii Research methods

The material outlined in the following pages covers work that has been carried out over the course of more than 30 years. Much of it has involved site visits to county courthouses, libraries, local and state historical societies, archives, and cemeteries in places where the people actually lived. This includes counties in Pennsylvania (Franklin, Bedford, Somerset, Westmoreland, York), Ohio (Darke, Miami), Kentucky (Warren, Marshall), Missouri (Johnson), Maryland (Washington), Indiana (Blackford, Wells), Kansas (Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Osage), Oklahoma (Stephens), Texas (Armstrong) and Colorado (Chaffee, Eagle). Additional documentation has been gleaned from other family members, some family bible records and correspondence, the National Genealogical Society library, the DAR library and the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and online sources, as noted in the list of sources.

Whenever possible, physical copies of actual records have been made and digitized. The types of records consulted have been: censuses, tax records, military service and pension records, probate/estate records and wills, naturalization records, land records, vital records (birth, marriage, death), historical newspapers, and personal diaries. Secondary sources consulted have usually been state or county published histories from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The information collected has been processed for presentation via Family Tree Maker software.

iii Descendants of Henry STAHL

Generation 1

1. HENRY1 STAHL . He died before 05 Mar 1790 in Franklin Co., PA1. He married Anne UNKNOWN before 1745. She died before 17902. Notes for Henry STAHL:

Lillian Elder Hull published a book in 1945 that contains many erroneous claims about Henry: that his middle name was Eugene, that his family were Mennonites, and that they settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1712. No documentary evidence has been found to back up any of those claims and she provided no proof for any of them in her book. Henry's branch of the Stahls was affiliated with the German Reformed church or the Lutheran church. In addition, pacifist Mennonites would be unlikely to serve in the military, which virtually all of his sons did. No document has ever been found with a middle name of Eugene (either for him or his son Henry), and no records have surfaced in Lancaster county with his name. Her publication should not be trusted, despite the fact that her unsupported assertions have been copied verbatim by many researchers over the years.

As to records that do exist, the first ones appear in about 1750 in Pennsylvania and Maryland, but he may have arrived earlier. The book Pennsylvania German Pioneers (1934) records a Henrich Stahl as arriving at Philadelphia from Rotterdam on 26 September 1741, quite possibly him, but there is not enough evidence to be certain.

Henry first appears in official records for Cumberland County (now Franklin County) as a person holding taxable property in Antrim township in 1751 and 1753, and is thereafter well represented in public records. In 1756 he purchased about 5 acres of land in Frederick County, Maryland. He purchased more land in Frederick county in 1761.

His naturalization oath took place on 21 September 1764 in Maryland. At about that same time he also appears as a taxable in Antrim township (1762, 1764, 1765, 1766, 1767, 1769, and 1770, at which time he is listed as having 260 acres warranted to him, 40 acres cleared, and possessing 3 horses, 4 cows, and 5 sheep). In 1770 he purchased another parcel in Frederick County.

The earliest land records available in the Pennsylvania State Archives and county records date to the early 1760s and show him to be actively engaged in obtaining patents (original titles granted by Pennsylvania) and in buying and selling land through the years (1762, 1765, 1768, 1770, 1772, 1779, 1788).

The 3rd Series of Pennsylvania Archives shows him as a taxable in Antrim township in 1778 (96 acres, 4 horses, and 4 cattle) In that same year he also appears on the Freemen list (vol. 20, pages 9 and 11). The 1779 records show his Antrim Township holding to have increased to 350 acres, 5 horses, and 8 cattle (vol. 20, p. 122). In 1780 his property was almost unchanged: 359 acres, 6 horses, and 7 cattle (vol. 20, p. 255). In 1781 he was evidently also taxed on 200 acres in Greenwood Township (vol. 20, p. 529). In 1782 he was taxed in both Antrim Township on 335 acres, 5 horses, and 8 cattle (vol. 20, p. 540) and in Montgomery Township on 150 acres (vol. 20, p. 624). In 1783 he was taxed on 370 acres in Bethel Township (vol. 22, p. 235). In 1785 he is listed as owning 100 acres is Milford township, Bedford County, and in that same year he also appears as a taxable in Belfast township, with property valued at 650 pounds.

He also appears as a grantee in several land transactions in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, in 1779 (record numbers 313 and 314, for parcels in Air Township), 1785 (record number 658, for a parcel in Bethel Township), and 1789 (record number 535, also for a parcel in Bethel Township). The Beers history lists him as a taxable in Antrim Township in 1786. He also appears on the

1 Generation 1 (con't) yppp 1789 tax book of Bedford county for 555 acres he owned in Belfast Township.

It is possible that he participated in the Revolutionary War, but it is not clear that the Henry Stahl mentioned in various sources is him, as opposed to his son, Henry, so caution is urged. The book American Revolutionary Soldiers of Franklin County, Pennsylvania (Virginia Fendrick, 1969) mentions that a Henry Stahl "was in service 1777-78-80-81, under Captains James Young and William Berryhill.." (p. 250). The entry for Henry also notes that, on 17 Dec 1772, he was "granted a tract of 219 acres in what is now Montgomery Twp. (vicinity of Welsh Run) called "Nonesuch," by Conococheague Creek, by the Meeting-house land, John Shelby, William McWhorter, and John Mayse. On July 28, 1777, Henry Stall and Anne, his wife, sold the above land to Frederick Darkiss." This source seems to suggest that it is indeed the elder Henry being discussed since his wife was named Anne.

He died intestate in 1790. Letters of administration for his estate were granted to his sons Jacob and Michael on 5 March 1790 (Estate Book A, page 167, Franklin County, Pennsylvania Recorder's Office). Records of the Bedford County Orphan's Court contain the following entry for 19 November 1791:

"Upon the petition of Michael Stall, eldest son of Henry, late of Franklin Co., dec'd, that his father died intestate, seized of 3 tracts of land lying in Belfast Twp., that petitioner's father left 6 sons and 2 daughters & 1 grandson, namely: Michael, your petitioner; Leonard; Henry; John; Daniel; Jacob; Susannah & Barbara, intermarried with John Hicks; & Henry Hockersmith, grandson and that petitioner is entitled to 2 tracts of 10 tracts owned and that if the tracts cannot be divided, to make just appraisement thereof for distribution."

Bedford County deed number 3990 (Book IJ, pages 161-163, signed in 1796 and recorded in 1814), in which Michael Stahl sells his share in the estate to his siblings, is also explicit about Henry's children, referring to "Leonard Stall, Henry Stall, John Stall, Jacob Stall, Daniel Stall, and Susana Stall and Barbara Stall, late Barbara wife of her husband Jacob Hicks, and Henry Hockersmith, heir to Magdalena Hockersmith, formerly Magdalena Stall." This points out that there was in fact probably a third daughter, Magdalena, who died sometime prior to 1791.

Henry STAHL and Anne UNKNOWN had the following children: 2. i. LEONARD2 STAHL. He died in Nov 1829 in Westmoreland county, PA3-4. He married ELIZABETH KING. She died about 1835 in Westmoreland county, PA. 3. ii. MICHAEL STAHL was born in Dec 17455. He died on 24 Aug 1822 in Washington Co., MD6. He married Esther KENSINGER on 12 May 17775.

2 Generation 1 (con't) 9. viii. JOHN STAHL. He died in 1815 in Warren County, KY20. He married MAGDALENE VIZZIARD. She was born about 1765 in Huntingdon County, PA21. She died on 08 Aug 1852 in Warren County, KY22. ix. SUSANNAH STAHL. She died about Feb 1805 in Antrim twp, Franklin Co., PA23.

Notes for Susannah STAHL: Susannah's will was signed on 7 April 1797 and proved on 25 February 1805. She bequeathed her estate to "my loving sister Barbara and brothers, by name Michael Stall, Leonard Stall, John Stall, Jacob Stall, and Daniel Stall." Leonard and Daniel received 5 pounds apiece for acting as executors. It is also noted that "the 9th line, Henry Stall being interlined."

Generation 2 2. LEONARD2 STAHL (Henry1). He died in Nov 1829 in Westmoreland county, PA3-4. He married ELIZABETH KING. She died about 1835 in Westmoreland county, PA. Leonard STAHL was buried in Trinity United Methodist Church, Stahlstown (Westmoreland), PA4. Notes for Leonard STAHL: Leonard appears listed as a freeman in the 1778, 1779, 1780, and 1781 tax lists for Antrim Township (PA Archives, Series 3, vol. 20, pp. 11, 123, 256, 393). About that same time he is also listed as a landowner in Milford Township, owning 250 acres and 2 horses (ibid., vol. 22, p. 240).

During the Revolutionary War, he was a private in the 2nd Battalion, Captain John Jack's Company of Cumberland County militia that was commanded by Colonel Thomas Gibson (ibid., vol. 23, pp. 641, 647, 650).

Later he moved to Westmoreland county. He is traditionally referred to as one of the founders of Stahlstown, where he is buried.

His will (#983), in will book 2, Westmoreland county, was written on 21 October 1829 and proved on 4 December 1829. It contains the following bequests.

First, I give to my wife, Elizabeth Stahl two cows of her choosing out of my flock, four sheep, one bed and bedding, and also three hundred dollars in money to be raised out of my personal estate. I also reserve her support during her natural life out of my farm which I bequeath to my son Enoch. Item: I give to my son Enoch the plantation on which I now reside, valued at six dollars per acre. I also give him one wagon free without any charge. Item: I give to my son Henry one wagon free without any charge. I also give him an equal share of my estate with my other heirs, deducting first one thousand and twenty five dollars which he has already received of me in part, of his dividend. Item: I give to my daughter Mary, intermarried with Henry Krouse, the plantation on which they reside, containing one hundred and seventy acres, valued at four dollars and fifty cents per acre, which I will to the said Mary's heirs and assigns.

Item: I give unto my grandchildren Michael Tedrew and Leonard Tedrew the plantation near Mansville, known by the name of McKinney's Farm. Item: I give unto my granddaughter, Elizabeth Tedrew, eighty dollars and no more.

3 Generation 2 (con't) Elizabeth KING was buried in Trinity United Methodist Church, Stahlstown (Westmoreland), PA4. Leonard STAHL and Elizabeth KING had the following children: i. SUSANNA3 STAHL was born on 10 Feb 178641. ii. ANNA STAHL was born on 28 Sep 178856. iii. HENRY STAHL61 was born in 1793. He died in 1842 in Champaign County, OH. iv. CATHARINE STAHL61 was born in 180266. She died in 186066-67. She married SAMUEL ROADMAN. He was born in 179967. He died on 22 May 186767.

Catharine STAHL61 was buried in Byerly Freeman Cemetery, Mt. Pleasant (Westmoreland), PA66-67. Samuel ROADMAN was buried in Byerly Freeman Cemetery, Mt. Pleasant (Westmoreland), PA67. v. ENOCH STAHL61 was born in Dec 18034. He died on 05 Mar 18584. Enoch STAHL61 was buried in Trinity United Methodist Church, Stahlstown (Westmoreland), PA4. vi. MARY STAHL61. She married HENRY KROUSE. vii. PHOEBE STAHL61. She married SAMUEL MATHEWS. 3. MICHAEL2 STAHL (Henry1) was born in Dec 17455. He died on 24 Aug 1822 in Washington Co., MD6. He married Esther KENSINGER on 12 May 17775. She was born on 10 Nov 17585.She died on 13 Mar 18325. Notes for Michael STAHL: A letter penned by Simon Stahl in 1880, contains this observation about about his grandfather, Michael.

"My grandfather Stahl was a farmer and a teemster(?). Settled on his own 800 acres of land in Bedford Co, PA, Belfast twp. Raised his family there and settled his two oldest sons on the farm. Henry jr. Father. They were also farmers. After grandfather's family was grown he bought a farm in Washington Co., MD where he died. I have not got the dates of the removals, not even father's to Blackford Co., IN." "Grandfather left over 1000 acres of land to his children in PA and MD. Not a drunkard, profane, or illegitimate birth in any of the families. Nearly all died in a good old age."

Tax records and the federal census mostly confirms what Simon refers to regarding his grandfather's residence. Michael appears listed as one of the Bedford County Rangers on the Frontier for 1778-1783 in the Third Series of the Pennsylvania Archive, volume 23, page. 236. He appears as a taxable in Ayr Township in 1779, with 400 acres, 2 horses, 3 cattle, and 5 sheep (ibid., vol. 22, p. 185) and in Bethel Township in 1783 for 2 horses, 3 cattle, and 4 sheep (ibid., vol. 22, p. 237). In the 1783 list he appears on a list of people designated as "inmates." This probably indicates that he was renting his land rather than owning it outright and that he was not a full "freeman." However, he was not to remain a renter for long. He shows up as a warrantee for 400 acres in Washington County, Pennsylvania, surveyed on 15 November 1784 (PA Archives, Third Series, vol. 23, p. 236). He was listed in the 1789 tax record book for Bedford County as owning property in Belfast Township. He appears in Bedford County, according to the 1790 census (M637, Roll 9, page 237), the 1800 census (M32, Roll 36, Page 394), and the 1810 census (M252, Roll 45, page 512). In 1810 he is listed as living in Bethel Township. In 1808 he was also listed as a taxable for Belfast Township, the owner of 200 acres patent, 4 horses, 4 cattle, a

4 Generation 2 (con't) grist mill, and a saw mill, all valued at about $400. (His tax was $4.75.) The exact date of Michael's move to Maryland is not certain, but he did purchase 132 1/2 acres of land for $2,100 from John Cook in Washington County in on 22 March 1812. The deed was recorded on 15 March 1813 and can be found in the county courthouse, Deed Book Y, page 591. The 1820 census (M33, roll 46, page 375A) places him in Washington County, Maryland with what appear to be two sons and 4 daughters. His will was written and signed on 20 February 1822 and proved on 16 October 1822. He named his son-in-law Andrew Mann as executor of the estate. In the will he mentions bequests to his wife Esther, his sons Jacob, Abraham, and Henry, and his daughters Mary, Susannah, Anna, and Esther. Jacob inherited a tract of land called The Three Bottoms in Bedford County, PA. Abraham was given a tract of land called Reynold's Hazard, also in Bedford County. Jacob and Abraham were given half ownership of Addition and of Barnett's Choice in Belfast Township, Bedford County. (Barnett's Choice had originally been acquired by Michael's father, Henry in 1779.) Michael's third son, Henry received $330 from Jacob and $240 from Abraham. Esther was bequeathed "as much of my personal property and effects as she may think proper to take." The daughters received equal shares of the proceeds from the sale of "that tract of land whereon I now reside situated in Washington County and state of Maryland." A copy of the will can be found in the Washington county courthouse, Hagerstown, Maryland, Book C, page 186. The original county will book is located at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. There is a record of the appraisal of his property in Book I, p. 363. References can also be found in Sale Book L, pages 97 and 113 and in Accounts Book 10, p. 55. Michael STAHL and Esther KENSINGER had the following children: 10. i. HENRY3 STAHL was born on 23 Feb 1778 in PA5, 25. He died on 15 Aug 1845 in Darke Co., OH26. He married Rachel MANN on 25 Jun 180527. She was born on 20 Mar 178728. She died on 27 Jan 1859 in Darke Co., OH29. 11. ii.

She was born in 17657-8. She died in 18157-8.

Henry STAHL was buried in Ankeny Square cemtery, Somerset (Somerset), PA8.

5 Generation 2 (con't) Notes for Henry STAHL: Henry is probably the Henry Stall, junior referred to in the 1781 tax assessment list for Antrim Township. He is listed as having one horse and two cattle. (Pennsylvania Archives, Third Series, vol. 20, p. 392) Since his father had died prior to March 1790, it is also likely that this is the Henry listed as a Bedford County warrantee for 250 acres surveyed on 9 March 1790 (ibid., vol. 25, p. 627) and as a Westmoreland County warrantee for 400 acres surveyed on 4 April 1794 (ibid., vol. 26, p. 509). In 1798 he was named executor for the estate of Catherine Mowan of Antrim township and is listed in the probate papers as Henry Stall of Antrim township. He is probably also the person referred to in the 1808 tax assessment records for Bedford County, Belfast Township. He owned 2 horses and cow, worth $31 and was taxed $0.31. There are several land surveys that were assigned to the name Henry Stall in the late 1780s as well, as one can see from the documentation on Henry's father. It may be that some of these land surveys should be assigned to Henry, the son, since they come many years after Henry, the father, seemed to have done most of his land dealing. There is no way to tell at this point which Henry is being referred to.)

An August, 1983 article in the Laurel Messenger, of Somerset county, Pennsylvania, contains the following sketch on Henry as well as information on his descendants. "He served four years during the Revolution under Capt. James Young, in the Cumberland County, Pennsylvania militia. [He and Rosina] came to Somerset county and acquired a large amount of land, part of which is now the George Clark Stahl farm, near Husband, Somerset township. This farm has continued to be owned by members of the Stahl family for 200 years."

The same article cites Samuel's Church records for their birthdates, indicating they were most likely Lutherans.

Henry probably served as a captain in the War of 1812. He commanded a company under Lt. Col. Moses Gordon, 55th regiment, which was part of the second brigade, 12th division. The unit was composed of men from Bedord and Somerset counties. (Pennsylvania Archives series 6, volume 7, pp. 671 seq. details his position.)

Daniel, his son, and Godfrey (Gottfried) Stahl were listed as administrators of his estate on the 8th of April, 1816. He and his wife are buried in the Ankeny Square cemetery in Somerset, PA.

DANIEL2 STAHL (Henry1) was born on 20 Sep 176411-12. He died on 17 Jun 1837 in Antrim twp, Franklin Co., PA12-14. He married MARY MAGDALENE UNKNOWN. She was born on 18 Jan 1771. She died on 07 Jul 1832 in Antrim twp, Frankin county, PA15. Daniel STAHL was buried in German Reformed cemetery, Greencastle (Franklin), PA12. Notes for Daniel STAHL: Daniel Stahl appears on a 1796 tax list for Antrim township as the owner of 150 acres of land as well as 2 horses and 2 cows. On the 1798 tax list for Antrim Township (Assessment District 4) he appears as the owner of a two-story house, approximately 26 ft. by 30 ft. large, with six windows, valued at $650. It is possible as well that he is the Daniel Stall ("yeoman") who purchased three tracts of land containing about 45 acres in Greenwood Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (deed book Q, page 191) from John Shuman and his wife Catharine. His will was signed on 15 March 1837 and proved on 21 June 1837 (Franklin County, PA, Will Book D, Page 383). He listed his residence as Antrim Township and listed his nephew Archibald Fleming and a neighbor, Manual Hade, as executors. In addition to a large amount of real estate, he bequeathed his books in three equal parts (as well as his bedding and linens) to his sons, Daniel and John, and to the children of his daughter Lydia who had died previously. John Hicks, a nephew, Archibald Fleming (also a nephew), and Joseph Wengert (named as an old friend) were named as guardians of the children, but it is not clear whether these would have been Daniel's sons or his daughter Lydia's children.

Mary Magdalene UNKNOWN was buried in German Reformed cemetery, Greencastle (Franklin), PA12. Daniel STAHL and Mary Magdalene UNKNOWN had the following children:

Notes for Jacob STAHL: American Revolutionary Soldiers of Franklin County Pennsylvania notes that Jacob Stahl was in service with Captain William Berryhill in 1781. Jacob appears on a 1796 tax list for Antrim township as owner of 160 acres, plus 2 horses and 5 cows. He also shows up on the 1798 tax list for Antrim Township (4th Assessment District) as the owner of a house one and 1/2 stories high, about 30 ft. by 40 ft. in dimensions, with four windows and valued at $700. He is listed as well in the 1808 tax assessment lists for Bedford County, Belfast Township. He was taxed $0.38 for 2 horses and 2 cattle, worth $38 together. After that time he evidently moved to Maryland. He is listed as a grantee for several land transfers in Washington County, Maryland. In 1814 (Deed Book Z, page 138) he purchased a plot of land called The Resurvey of Salisbury. The 1820 census (M33, roll 45, page 321A) shows him residing in Washington County. At that time he appears to have already married and to have three daughters. In 1821 (Deed Book FF, pages 386 and 388) he bought another tract called Heisterborough. In1824 (Deed Book GG, page 546) he purchased one-eighth of a lot and a house in Hagerstown, Maryland. Finally, in 1830 (Deed Book LL, page 445), he bought three lots in Hancock, Maryland. He evidently died intestate. The Washington County Estate Index shows no entry for a will under his name, even though his estate was inventoried and appraised (Appraisal Book I, p. 82) and the sale of his property was recorded (Book K, p. 446). (These books are in the state archives in Annapolis, Maryland.) Jacob Wolf and Martin Baer were granted the letters of administration for the estate in 12 October 1831. Jacob, his wife, and some children are buried in the Zion Reformed Cemetery in Hagerstown. Mary UNKNOWN was buried in Zion Reformed Church cemetery, Hagerstown (Washington), MD19. Notes for Mary UNKNOWN: Mary's will was written and signed on 4 September 1857 and proved on 5 June 1860 in Washington County, Maryland. A copy is located in the county courthouse, Will Book E, page 505. In her will she bequeathed her estate to her three unmarried daughters, Christianna, Catherine, and Lydia. The three daughters were also named as executrixes, but Christianna renounced that responsibility on 5 June 1860. Jacob STAHL and Mary UNKNOWN had the following children: 22. i. JOHN3 STAHL was born on 11 Jun 178530. He died on 28 Apr 186131. He married Catherine UNKNOWN before 182713. She was born about 179532. She died on 18 Feb 186433. ii. ELIZABETH STAHL was born on 31 Dec 1789 in Washington Co., MD13. She died on 03 Dec 1875 in Washington Co., MD13, 45. She married Martin BEAR on 02 May 1821 in Washington Co., MD10.

Elizabeth STAHL was buried in Riverview cemetery, Williamsport, MD45. Notes for Elizabeth STAHL: Elizabeth's tombstone is located next to Martin's in Riverview cemetery. Her inscription reads:

Elizabeth, wife of Martin Bear born May 27, 1795 died Dec. 3, 1875 age 80 yrs., 6 mos., 6 days

It is worth noting that her birth date as listed on the tombstone is almost 5 1/2 years later than that contained in the birth records of Zion Reformed Churchin Hagerstown, which give her birth date as 31 December 1789. Is it possible that there were two Elizabeths and that the one born in 1789 died prior to 1795? It is difficult to know how to reconcile the difference in dates without further information.

Martin BEAR was buried in Riverview cemetery, Williamsport, MD45.

He died on 15 Aug 1845 in Darke Co., OH26. He married Rachel MANN on 25 Jun 180527. She was born on 20 Mar 178728. She died on 27 Jan 1859 in Darke Co., OH29. Henry STAHL was buried in Hartle cemetery, Darke Co.26. Notes for Henry STAHL: Henry is listed on the 1810 federal census as living in Bedford County, Bethel Township, Pennsylvania (M 252, Roll 45, page 512). On 8 February 1817 "Henry Stahl, in trust for the heirs of Elizabeth Byers" was granted a patent for a credit sale of section 24. township 13, range 2 east in Darke County, Ohio (Credit volume 32, page 432, BLM Eastern States Office). According to Darke County, Ohio Deed Records (Short and Bowers, 1977) this parcel of land was later divided among the heirs in 1828 and 1831. A tract book for Ohio indicates that, on 6 February 1817, "Henry Stahl of Pa" was issued a patent on the south half of section 34, township 11, range 3 east, containing 320 acres, to be sold at $2 an acre. Two days later "Henry Stahl of Pennsylvania" also received a patent for a credit sale for the northeast quarter of section 34, township 11, range 3 east. (Credit volume 32, page 434, BLM Eastern States Office). On 8 December 1823 "Henry Stahl of Pennsylvania" received a patent for a credit sale of the south half of section 34, township 11, range 3 east, consisting of 320 acres (Credit volume 57, page 403, BLM Eastern States Office). A note at the top of the patent indicates that a copy was "sent to patentee, Feb. 25, 1824, at Hancock, Wash. Co., Maryland." Thus, it took him about 6 years to pay off this particular parcel. Darke County, Ohio Deed Records also lists a sale recorded on 15 January 1823 in which Henry purchased the southwest quarter of section 2, township 10, range 3, "except 20 acres" from Jacob Waggerman and his wife for $320. It is not clear exactly when he moved to Ohio. His father's will (1822) leaves him money, but gives the land to his brothers. This probably means that Henry's intentions to leave Pennsylvania were clear by that time. It is certain that, at least 1830, he had moved. The 1830 census (M19, roll 130, page 38) and the 1840 census (M704, roll 390, page 2) both show him as living in Richland Township, Darke County, Ohio.

He married (2) ELEANOR REESE on 03 Dec 183339. She was born on 05 Jul 1798 in MD42. She died on 21 Nov 1869 in Hartford City (Blackford), IN43. Jacob STAHL was buried in Hartford City cemetery (Blackford), IN206. Notes for Jacob STAHL:

12 Generation 3 (con't) Jacob moved to the Midwest in the early part of the 1800s, evidently first to Ohio and then later to Indiana. On 17 March 1818 a patent for a credit sale was issued to Jacob Stahl "of Pennsylvania" for the north half of section 5, township 10, range 3 east in Darke County Ohio. (Credit volume 37, page 371, at the Eastern States Office of the BLM) In Darke County, Ohio Deed Records, 1817-1834, (Anita Short and Ruth Bowers, 1977), indications are that this tract of land was later sold: "0-28-1822 - Jacob STAHL and Mary (mark) wife of Bedford Co., Pennsylvania to Samuel Wilkins of same; $640.; 320a N 1/2 S5 T10 R3. Wit: Abraham Stahl, Jacob Waltz. Recorded 11-16-1822. (p.44 in deed book)." The Fort Wayne Land Office records show a Jacob Stahl purchasing the east southwest and the west southeast lots in township 26N, range 11E (160 acres) on 24 June 1839, receipt number 024223. This suggests that he was in the process of moving from Ohio to Indiana at about that time. This is confirmed by the following entry from Biographical Memoirs of Blackford County, Indiana (pp. 239-240):

"Jacob Stahl came from Pennsylvania in he fall of 1839, and bought land adjoining Hartford City on the east, where he resided until his death, fifteen years later. His son, Abraham Stahl, who had a family and was thirty years old, came with him. His other children who came with him were: Sarah, the oldest child; Elizabeth, who became the wife of Sealy Havens; Bethuel: Rebecca, who married Phillip Huffman, and Moses S. These were the children of his first wife, Mary, who was the daughter of Bethuel COVAULT. These were the two children of the second wife (Eleanor Reese) namely: Jonathan and Mary L., who was the wife of S.L. Gadbury."

An 1880 letter from his son, Simon, confirms that Jacob moved from Pennsylvania to Indiana, but he could not recall the dates, noting " I have not got the dates of the removals, not even father's to Blackford Co., IN."

The Biographical Memoirs of Blackford county also mention that Jacob and his wife were active in the Old School, or Predestinarian Baptist church.

Jacob's will was written on 13 April 1854 and probated in Blackford county on 8 November 1854. In it he leaves $150 to "each of my daughters" with the balance of the estate to be divided equally among my sons." Abraham, "my beloved son," was named as executor. He is buried in the Hartford City cemetery (also sometimes called the IOOF cemetery).

Mary COVAULT was buried in Morton cemetery (Fulton), PA38. Notes for Mary COVAULT: The Morton family cemetery is in Needmore, PA. It lies in a wooded area that is over a hill with a plowed field, behind the fire department and is marked by a gate erected in 1995. Most of the stones are unreadable and have fallen over, and the entire cemetery is badly overgrown as of 2009. Jacob STAHL and Mary COVAULT had the following children: i.

Notes for Michael MANN:

MICHAEL MANN.

The subject of this sketch was born May 19, 1809, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, and emigrated to Reily township, Butler county, Ohio, when thirty-three years of age, with the other portion of his father's family. Andrew Mann, his father, was born April 1778, and died August 8, 1854. His mother died before moving West, but his step-mother, who was Anna Smith in her maiden days, was born February 16, 1799, and married February 17, 1828.... Michael Mann was the second son of five brothers and four sisters, of whom eight came to Ohio. The journey from Pennsylvania was begun April 5, 1842.... After a temporary residence in the adjoining county for one year, during which time they followed farming, a tract of one hundred and ninety-three acres was bought on Howard's Creek, in Hamilton county, for $8,500, on to which the family moved.

Notes for Simon STAHL: The 1850 census lists him as living in Richland Township, Darke County, Ohio (M432, roll 674, 121/124). He gave his occupation as farmer and stated the value of his real estate at $1,000. In 1870 he is still living in Darke county, but by 1880 he had moved to Rochester, Indiana, according to a letter he wrote in that year and to the 1880 census (where he is listed as a retired farmer). The letter says little about him, but contains numerous names and dates for vital events involving other family members. The Rochester Sentinel ran the following obituary following his death in on 25 Dec. 1899:

"Father [Simon] Stahl has long been a familiar figure in this city. With his snow white hair and beard and quiet, gentle demeanor he resembled the patriarchs of bible times, and there was universal sorrow when his death was announced this morning. Mr. Stahl was born in Bedford county, Pa, the 4th of May, 1811, and died at the home of his son, Jacob M. Stahl, in this city Christmas morning at four o'clock. In 1835 he was united in marriage with Miss Rhoda Mason of his native state, who preceded him to the spirit world in 1887. Soon after his marriage Mr. Stahl removed to Ohio, where he remained until 1874 when he came to Rochester and continued to reside here until his death. For 58 years he was a minister of the Christian church, but of recent years has affiliated with the Adventists. Last June he suffered a stroke of paralysis, a week ago he experienced a second stroke, and a third Saturday night, after which he remained in an unconscious state until relieved by death. The deceased was always a deeply religious man and scrupulously honest in all things. Rev. E.R. Clevenger, of the Baptist Church, will conduct the funeral services a the house tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock."

On the 27th of December the Rochester Sentinel ran the following:

"William STAHL, of Chicago, came down to attend the funeral of his grandfather [Simon STAHL], yesterday. For several years Mr. Stahl was on the police force of that city, but is now a professional lecturer on phrenology."

Elizabeth Rhoda MASON was buried in IOOF cemetery, Fulton county, IN. Notes for Elizabeth Rhoda MASON:

Michael STAHL was buried in Auburn cemetery, (Shawnee), KS225.

Notes for Michael STAHL: Michael's father, Jacob, moved to Indiana in about 1839. Michael and his brother Abraham also moved with him. Michael, though owning land in Wells county, Indiana (he held two patents issued in 1840), resided in Darke county, Ohio. Michael's uncle, Henry, also moved to Darke County and purchased land in Richland township.

29 Generation 4 (con't) The Beers History of Darke County, Ohio (1880) has the following entry for Michael:

"We learn, with reference to the early growth of New Harrison, that, in 1845, there were but a dozen families resident of the place, viz., Jacob Woods, John Baltenburg, William Robinson, Jeremiah Shody, keeper of a tavern stand, Samuel Robinson, Calvin Horner, Jeremiah Shade (also keeper of an inn), Michael Stahl, Abraham Miller and William Hays. Of their houses, there are ten remaining. Such was the slow growth of the place in the interval from 1837 to 1845."

Michael appears on the 1840 census (M704, roll 390, page 1) and 1850 census (M432, roll 674, 30/30) for Adams Township, Darke County. He listed his occupation as shoemaker and claimed real estate valued at $2,000.

Michael moved his family to Kansas in 1859. In March of that year he sold his land (Darke County deed book H-2, p. 509) and his house lot (Darke County deed book I-2, p. 513) in New Harrison, Ohio, and it is likely that he moved to Kansas shortly thereafter. He appears on the 1860 census for Shawnee county (M653, roll 352, 364/345), about 43 years old, and living with his wife Susan and six children.

Susan MOORE was buried in Auburn cemetery, (Shawnee), KS225. Notes for Susan MOORE: A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans contains the following lengthy account of Susan.

When reference is made to noted Kansas women, the name of Mrs. Michael Stahl should not be forgotten. Losing her husband soon after they had come to a farm in Kansas, she proved her resourcefulness in this time of trial and tribulation. She not only looked after the management of the domestic economy of her home, but also became a practical farmer, and made such a success of it that she reared her family and provided well for them. She was not merely a supervisor of the work of the farm, but she took her place in the field. She possessed both business ability and a physical strength such as few men could surpass. It is recalled that she could take a three bushel sack of wheat, weighing 180 pounds, from the ground and throw it over her shoulder with ease. No man in the neighborhood could perform as much strenuous labor as Mrs. Stahl. It is related that she one time hired a mantogowithher into a stone quarry. At the end of several days it was found that she had quarried twice as much as her fellow worker. The man then quit, declaring that he would be willing to undergo the prospect of eternal future torment rather than be compelled to work beside a woman who could perform twice as much labor as he could. Her physical strength was by no means her only virtue. She was exceedingly kind hearted, liberal, and charitable, and was both admired and beloved in her community. She lived to the advanced age of eighty-three years. About a year before her death she felt that she should be baptized and was accordingly immersed in Six Mile Creek. (p. 1327)

The last comment is of interest since tradition holds that Susan was a lifelong member of the Society of Friends. Michael STAHL and Susan MOORE had the following children: 77. i.

NotesforMosesSTAHL: The 1850 census for Blackford county shows Moses employed as a teacher.

Cutler's History of Kansas (1884) has an entry for Moses as follows, in part 8, Montgomery County.

"M.S. Stahl, proprietor of the Main Street Hotel, was born in Belfast Township, Bedford Co.., Pa, December 10, 1826, lived there until 1839, when his parents, with their family, moved to Blackford Co., Ind, which county he made his home until 1870. He was educated at the University of New York City and Rush Medical College, Chicago, Ill, graduating from the latter institution, he began the practice of medicine at Hartford City, Blackford Co., Ind. He went to Texas and remained two years, being surgeon of the Texas Rangers. After this he spent about three years in Kansas, Missouri, and in the Rocky Mountainsasfarwestas the Rio Gila, and the land of the Apache. Becoming tired of this nomadic life, he returned to the States in 1875, and located in Independence, Kan., where he has since been engaged in the hotel business. He was married at Hartford City, Ind., March 20th, 1856 to Mary A. Ransom, a native of Ohio, but reared in Indiana. They have two children, May W. and Florence V. Mr. S. is a member of the Presbyterian Church."

By 1890 Moses is living in Guthrie, Oklahoma and practicing as a physician once more, according to the 1890 Business Directory for Guthrie. In 1900 Moses is listed in the federal census as living in Perry, Oklahoma. Mary is listed as the official head of the household and Moses is an invalid and blind. After his death, his widow applied for a pension, based on Moses's military service. The material in the pension file at the National Archives confirms his service, from September, 1870 to February, 1871 in Company P of Captain Swisher's Texas Frontier Forces. His rank was that of Surgeon.

He came with his parents in 1838, being then 20 years old, to Wells county, Ind. He was united in marriage to miss Anna DeWitt, June 29, 1843, and during the same year settled on the farm where he died, receiving a deed for it from the government, it being one of the few farms which is held by the original deed. He followed farming all his life. He belonged to a family of nine children, four sisters and five brothers. Three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Elston of Bluffton, Mrs. Esther Studabaker, and Ellen Stahl living near Bluffton, and one brother, John Stahl, who lives in the state of Minnesota; and five children, Mrs. Josephine Grove, Mrs. Ellen Miller, Mrs. Susan Rush, Mrs. Sarah Mann, and Mrs. Hester Huffman, and twenty grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, together with many other relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss.

His health had been exceedingly good for one of such advanced age, until a few days before his death, at which time he contracted a severe cold which he was not able to endure. A man of high moral character and a of a contented disposition and loved and respected by all. He was interested in all public improvement and gave liberally of his means to assist church enterprises. He studied the Bible much and was a man of religious convictions, but because of his reserved disposition he spoke not of them except in the privacy of his own home and to his closest friends. By patient toil and perseverance he won fair success in life. He will be long remembered because of his noble deeds and kind and generous disposition. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones and his neighbors and friends who have known him for so many years.

The following item from the Hagerstown Herald and Torch Light of 29 Nov. 1871 evidently refers to Daniel's death.

"Mr. Daniel Stahl, of the vicinity of Pinefield, met with an accident on Thursday last, which resulted in death on Saturday morning. He had been butchering for Mr. Jacob Garlinger during the day, and in the evening attempted to go into the horse stable, when one of the horses, becoming frightened at the smell of blood on Mr. Stahl's clothing, kicked him twice in the stomach. The unfortunate man was taken to the house, and Dr. A.A. Miller was sent for, who done everything in his power to give him relief, but owing to a peculiar disease with which Mr. Stahl was suffering, combined with the kick, he rapidly began to sink and died on Saturday morning. Mr. Stahl was an estimable gentleman and a good citizen, and his untimely demise is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Mercersburg on Sunday last - Greencastle Echo." Malinda RENNER was buried in Fairview cemetery, Mercersburg (Franklin), PA.

In Memoriam

After a short, painful illness, Mrs. Harriet Stahl died of pneumonia fever at her home near Richardsville, Ky., on the 3rd day of December 1898. On the following day her funeral was preached at Green River Union Church by Rev. H. G. Summers. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, many of her sorrowing relatives and friends were present to attend these last sad rites. After the funeral her remains were tenderly placed in the grave near the church, by loving hands, there to await the final summons on the resurrection morn.

Harriet Stahl, (nee Bostwick), was born June 6, 1837. She was therefore 61 years, 5 months and 27 days old at her death. She was married to Wm. P. Stahl September 13, 1854. Asaresultof their marriage 15 children were born unto them, 11 of whom are still living. Before her marriage, when quite young, she gave her heart and life to God, and united with the Missionary Baptist church. She remained in this church till her marriage, manifesting a consistent Christian life and character by her daily walks. After her marriage to Mr. Stahl, she joined the Southern Methodist Church, because she prefered to have her membership with that branch of church, to which she remained the rest of her life - - a worthy and acceptable member - - working harmoniously side by side with her husband, 44 years 2 months and 20 days. Thus she was a true help-meet in the church, as noble as in the worldly pursuits, and common walks of life. Mrs. STAHL was one of those rare specimens of true Christian womanhood that is seldom met with.

Indeed she seemed to possess all the Christian graces in a marvelous degree. Enemies; she had none. Every one that knew her was her friend. She had a pleasant smile and akindword for every one she met. She seemed to love everybody, and everybody seemed to love her. She was the embodiment of love and kindness. Yet when it was necessary to stand for the right, she was unflinching, and as firm as "The eternal rocks." Always solicitious for the welfare and comfort of others, she seemed to lose sight of herself, and to forget to be careful of the things that would redound to her own pleasure and comfort. Even during her last illness while suffering it seemed all that it was possible for one to endure, she manifested more concern for the comfort of those who were ministering to her wants than for her own self.

48 Generation 4 (con't) Unselfishness! It was one of her chief characteristics. Mrs. Stahl was a faithful wife, a kind, loving mother, a true and devoted friend and a pleasant neightbor. When it became evident to her that she was very near the end she said: "All is well, all is well. I have been washed, made pure and white in the blood of the Lamb and I am ready to go." She then requested those who were present to meet her in Heaven and said: "It will not be long till we all meet again." Thus closed a beautiful and unselfish life on earth and thus Heaven became the recipient of another happy soul. Farewell! dear sister, Farewell!

"We waft our love to thee across the border land of the unseen and declare by the grace of God the heritage is ours and that we will soon join thee in the realm of a blissful immortality." S. R.

Notes for Anna WHITEFORD:

Biographical History of Darke County, Ohio. (Chicago, Lewis, 1900), p. 552 -554.

The fair ladies of our state and nation play a most conspicuous part in the true record which makes the aggregate of our history, and they are becoming an important factor in all avenues of business and professional life. The lady whose name initiates this review comes from one of the well-known and highly honored families of Richland township, and she conducts her own estate with thorough business acumen. Mrs. Stahl was born in Dearborn county, Indiana, near Dillsborough, on the 29th of July, i860, being the fourth in order of birth of the six children of Andrew and Mary ( Whiteford) Whiteford. Of the three sons and three daughters the only survivors are Mrs. Stahl and her younger brother, James C, who is a commercial traveler for the Piano Manufacturing Company, having his territorial assignment in the state of Ohio. He was educated in the common schools and in the public schools at Gettysburg, being a young man of fine mind and exemplary habits and standing high in the estimation of all who know him. He is honorable and industrious, and has business faculties of a high order. Socially he is a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, at Greenville, this county, and he is a devoted member of the Presbyterian church in that place. Andrew Whiteford, father of Mrs. Stahl, was born near the famed old city of Glasgow. Scotland, and in the land of heather and shaggy wood he remained until he had attained hs legal majority. He wedded his bonnie lassie in his native land, and, leaving her to the tender care of those near and dear, bade farewell to his native land and came across the Atlantic to lay the foundation of his fortunes in America. He sailed from Liverpool in a sailing vessel, and the voyage was of seven weeks' duration. He came direct to Aurora, Indiana, where he was a stranger in a strange land and among strange people, being fortified with but little of this world's goods. He remained here about one year, as a wage earner in a saw-mill, and then sent for his wife, who came across the ocean in a steamer and joined her husband. They began as renters and it was about 1870 that they came to Greenville township, this county, where they rented land. The first purchase of land was the present estate of ninety acres, in Richland township, and here they settled and lived until the death of Mr. Whiteford, October 23, 1893. The first home erected was a primitive log cabin, and at this time there were few improvements to be found in the county. There was not a mile of pike road, and quite a number of the railroads were built after they emigrated to Darke county. The devoted mother of our subject died September 7, 1877, in Brown township. Both she and her husband were strict Presbyterians in their religious belief, and Mr. Whiteford aided financially in erecting the beautiful brick church in Greenville, and all benevolences were sure of the hearty interest and support of this worthy man and his gentle wife. Mr. Whiteford was a man who stood firm in all his convictions, was animated by the most inflexible integrity, and his word was as good as his bond. He and his wife lived lives that were exemplary in character, and this is a rich and valued heritage to hand down to their children - far better than riches and gold. In politics Mr. Whiteford was a staunch Republican, and always upheld the orinciples of his party.

54 Generation 5 (con't) yp p py The parents of our subject sleep their last sleep in the beautiful cemetery at Greenville, and their resting place is indicated by a beautiful stone which was there erected by their children and which stands sacred to their memory. Mrs. Stahl was reared in her native state of Indiana till she was a maiden of ten summers, having spent about three years in the schools there. The major part of her education, however, was received in the Ansonia public schools, of which she was one of the first graduates, being a member of the class of 1877. She passed the teachers' examination, after which she devoted herself to pedagogic work for two years in the Ansonia schools. She was successful in her work, but at this time her dear mother died, and she relinquished all her previous plans, giving up her chosen profession, to come home and act as her father's companion and housekeeper. She made his last years as pleasant as she could, ably fulfilling her filial mission. She is possessed of that kind and affectionate nature which always wins lasting friendships, and the poor and needy never need go empty-handed from her door. The marriage of our subject to H. J. Stahl was celebrated May 4, 1893, and one little son graces this union, Whiteford J., who was born October 19, 1894, the sunbeam of his mother's home. Mr. Stahl was born in Adams township, Darke county. January 7. 1853, and was reared and educated here. His lineage traces back to German extraction, being of the old Pennsylvania stock. He was successful in life, and all he had was accumulated through his own industry and careful methods. He was held in the highest esteem by the citizens of Darke county, living a noble and upright life, well worthy of emulation. He was first married to Miss Lottie Long, who bore him one son, Walter E., who is a young man of high standing in Richland township. He resides with his stepmother, and their mutual love and devotion could scarcely be greater were they, indeed, mother and son. He is a young man of marked intellectuality, being a fine mathematician, and he is bound to make for himself a place of honor and usefulness in connection with the active duties of life. Mrs. Lottie ( Long) Stahl died February 13. 1891, when her son was a lad of twelve years. She was a member of the Christian church at Beamsville, and was a representative of one of the pioneer families of the county. Mr. Stahl had two brothers in the civil war, and one died from wounds received in the battle of Chattanooga. He was buried on the battlefield. Mr. Stahl was a Republican in politics, and his first presidential vote was cast for Rutherford B. Hayes, in the centennial year. He was an ardent supporter of his party, and locally his influence was always cast on the side of all that made for the general welfare and the advancement of the interests of his fellow men. He was a staunch friend of the cause of education, and he served effectively as a director of the home schools. His life was as an open volume to the people of the community, and his memory is held in lasting memory by all who knew him. He believed in the Golden Rule, and lived to it day by day, and his daily admonitions to his children were ever creditable to him as a father. His was a pure and noble life, and the death of such a man leaves a void which cannot be filled. Mr. Stahl was summoned into eternal rest November 20, 1898. loved and esteemed by all, and his widow now resides on her estate with her loving children. The sacred memory of the husband and father will ever cling about the home. We are pleased to perpetuate this brief record of Mrs. Stahl and her family in this genealogical history of Darke county and in all the days to come such a compilation will have a place of distinct and unmistakable value.

Biographical Memoirs of Blackford County (Shinn, Benjamin; Bowen Publishing, Chicago,1900) has the following lengthy entry for Ezra and his family on pages 294-296.

"In the following lines are briefly set forth the leading facts in the life of a very busy man; modest reference is also made to his character as a citizen and the salutary influence he has exerted as a member of the body politic. From the name it would appear that the Stahls are of German origin and from the most reliable evidence obtainable it is learned that the family was first represented in America by the subject's great-great grandfather, Henry Stahl, who came from Germany to the United States in a very early day and settled in Pennsylvania. Henry Stahl reared a large family, some of whom were born in Germany and some after the family made a home in America. Among his sons were Michael, born in December, 1745, and Jacob Stahl, Ezra M.'s grandfather, who was born in Pennsylvania and who also became the father of a number of children. Their names are as follows: Sarah died in 1888; Abraham died at the age of eighty-one; Simon died at the ripe old age of eighty-seven; Rachael, deceased; Michael died at fifty-five; Elizabeth; Bethuel; Rebecca died in December, 1890; Moses, Jonathan, and Mary Jane. Jacob Stahl resided in the Keystone state until 1839, at which time he came to Blackford county, Indiana, where his death occurred in 1854. Abraham Stahl, the second child and eldest son of the above Jacob, was married in November, 1834, to Elizabeth Waltz and reared a family of eigth children, namely: Esther, wife of John Frash; Anna, married Dr. Chaffee, of Huntington, Indiana; Ezra M., born February 21, 1839; Jacob, born March 11, 1841, killed at the battle of Rocky Face Ridge, Georgia, May 9, 1864;

56 Generation 5 (con't) yggy Mary Elizabeth married Nathaniel H. Peck or Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania; Sarah died in infancy; Rebecca died in July, 1876, and Joseph, born June 7, 1853, died in the year 1872. The Waltz family were also from Germany and among the early settlers of Pennsylvania. Ezra M. Stahl, the date of whose birth has been mentioned, first saw the light of day in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, and when but seven months old was brought by his parents to Blackford county, Indiana. in the district schools he pursued, until his seventeenth year, such studies as at that time constituted the curriculum and then experienced his first independent contact with the world as clerk in a mercantile establishment at Hartford City. After a brief period in that capacity he accepted a position in the county auditor's office, where he worked upon the records four years, and then again engaged in clerking in the general store of William H. Campbell, where he remained for a limited period. Mr. Stahl's next venture was a trip to Pike's Peak before the organization of Colorado as a territory, where for the greater part of a year he tried his fortunes at mining with but fair financial results. This was in the spring of 1860 and after remaining in the west till 1862 he disposed of his mining interests and returned home for the purpose of entering the army in response to President Lincoln's call that year for 600,000 additional men. After a visit with his people of one week, he enlisted at Cincinnati, Ohio, in October, 1862, in Company K, Eighty-fourth Indiana Infantry, being mustered into service at Guyandotte, Virginia, November following. He took part in every engagement in which the regiment participated until the close of the war and received an honorable discharge at Nashville, Tennessee, on th© 14th day of June, 1865. His military career is replete with duty bravely and unflinchingly performed and his record as a soldier is one of which any man might feel deservedly proud. On leaving the service, Mr. Stahl returned to Blackford county and made the race for county auditor, his party, the Republican, having nominated him during his absence against an ex-rebel soldier, who came to Hartford City after his release from a federal prison and became a factor in local politics. Mr. Stahl polled an unusually heavy vote, overcoming an overwheJming Democratic majority, and was the first Republican to hold the office of auditor. He discharged his official functions in a highly creditable manner and at the expiration of his term accepted the position of station agent for the Pan Handle Railroad Company at Hartford City which place he filled acceptably for one and a half years. He then resigned to become deputy county treasurer under his father, who held the office one term. By reason of his father's ill health the responsibility of the office rested entirely upon the son's shoulders and he acquitted himself so efficiently as custodian of the county funds as to win the highest praise from all parties. During the two years succeeding he again held the position of deputy auditor, after which he became bookkeeper for the mercantile firm of Kirshbaum & May and later was similarly employed by Kirshbaum & Weiler. his connection with these two bouses covering a period of six years. In June, 1883, Mr. Stahl was elected cashier of the Citizens St.ite Bank of Hartford City, a place he has filled uninterruptedly for seventeen years, being the present incumbent. Mr. Stahl's marriage was solemnized, on the 9th day of September. 1866, with Miss Dillia A. Shclton, daughter of Sylvester R.and Hannah (Dragoo) Shelton, the issue of which union is four children, whose names and dates of birth are as follows: Jacob Bert, June 11, 1867; Ruth A., February 16, 1872, died August 4. 1874; Elizabeth, April 6, 1875, and Charles Edgar, March 9, 1877. Mr. Stahl has been identified with the fraternity of Odd Fellows for twenty-nine years, having passed through all the chairs in Hartford City Iodge, No. 262, besides filling the office of district deputy three terms and being twice sent as delegate to the grand lodge. He Hasalsoserved many years as trustee for the order and is a member of the Jacob Stahl Post, G. A. R.,named in honor of his brother, and always takes an active part in the deliberations of that body. In matters educational he has always been a leading spirit. A member of the first board that organized the present efficient graded school system of Hartford City, he did much in the way of procuring professionally prepared teachers and for a period of fifteen consecutive years watched over this important trust with an unwavering interest. In religion he is a Methodist and for twenty-eight years has been a member of the official board of the Hartford City congregation. He also took a leading part in the buying and laying out of the

57 Generation 5 (con't) ygg gp ygyg beautiful city cemetery and its present artistic condition is largely due to his interest and oversight. In all matters pertaining to the moral and religious advancement of the community his words have had great weight and his influence, always on the side of right, has been potent in producing a high order of citizenship. By the foregoing it will be seen that the life of Mr. Stahl has been one of great activity and usefulness and the impress of his character has been indelibly stamped upon the public mind of Hartford City and Blackford county. Politically he is a stanch Republican and while a partisan in the sense of always putting forth his best efforts to promote the interests of the party, he never resorts to trickery or disreputable practices, consequently many of his warmest friends are found in the ranks of the opposition. He is highly respected by his neighbors; his word is his bond and his hand is free in extending aid to those less fortunate than himself. His career as a soldier, official and civilian has been consistent with the principles of true manliness, and there is nothing therein but what reflects credit upon his good name."

After being blind and unconscious for two weeks, since his third stroke of paralysis, Jacob STAHL, the well known old carpenter, suddenly regained consciousness this forenoon, told his family he was now ready to die and before the neighbors could be summoned he passed away, while complaining of a pain in his heart. Jacob Stahl came to Rochester in 1857 and was nearly 67 years old. He married the surviving wife and mother, Rebecca COLWALD in 1858 and to them four living children were born: Alice [STAHL], of this city; Alvah C. [STAHL], of Indianapolis; Wm. L. [STAHL], of Chicago; and Mrs. Luella [STAHL] MOORE of Logansport. Another near relative, a brother, Wm. STAHL, of Hartford City, also survives. Deceased was an old soldier, member of the 87 Ind Vol, a carpenter by trade, and a Baptist in religion. He was a quiet, unassuming man and highly esteemed by all of his neighbors. His affliction had been of sixteen years duration, he having had his spine permanently injured by getting caught beneath a falling shed roof and which finally precipitated paralysis - first attack two

SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1901-1904 by Wendell C. Tombaugh Rebecca COLWELL was buried in IOOF cemetery, Rochester (Fulton), IN640.

Notes for Rebecca COLWELL: Rebecca and Alice moved to eastern Colorado in about 1913 to take up land. The local paper carried the following new in December, 1913: "Mrs. Rebecca Stahl, who is with her daughters in Colorado, writes from Lamar that they will all go to their ranch this week, that they have had no bad weather, and that they like the West. Their new address is Hasty, Colorado." Rebecca filed for a land patent in eastern Colorado in 1916 (patent #53190). She received the patent for 320 acres, near Lamar. Alvah and Mary Alice filed for patents about a year later in the same general area. Rebecca's death in 1917 appears to have been the end of the family's move to Colorado. The New-Sentinel in Rochester carried this death notice for her on 31 March 1917: "Mrs. Rebecca' Stahl died Friday afternoon in her home at Segreganset, Colo., after an illness' of four months with dropsy. Word was received here Saturday morning 'by her son-in-law, Orner Brickle. The body is being brought here and the party should arrive Sunday or Monday morning. The stahls went to Colorado about four years ago, taking up a claim. Mrs. Stahl was the widow of the Jacob Stahl of this city and leaves three children: Alva Stahl, Miss Alice Stahl and Mrs. Orner Brickle. All three were with their mother when she died, but it is not known who will return for the funeral." On 2 April 1917 the same paper carried the following: "The body of Mrs. Rebecca Stahl was brought to this city Sunday Afternoon at two o'clock and was buried at the I.O.O.F. cemetery. The funeral services were held at the house in Segreganset, Colo. A daughter, Mrs. Orner Brickle, accompanied the body." Jacob Mann STAHL and Rebecca COLWELL had the following children: i. MARY ALICE6 STAHL was born on 01 Sep 1858667-668. She died on 10 Jun 1934667-668. Mary Alice STAHL was buried in IOOF cemetery, Fulton county, IN667. Notes for Mary Alice STAHL: Mary Alice moved to Colorado late in 1913. The local paper had the following notice: "Miss Alice Stahl will leave Saturday or Sunday for Lamar, Colorado, where she will take up a government land claim and make arrangements to build upon it. Later she will return and move with her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Stahl, to Colorado to make their future lives." (Rochester Sentinel, 1 Aug. 1913). She filed for a patent (#584834) around Lamar, Colorado in 1917, shortly after Rebecca received a patent in the same area. Evidently, she did not remain in Colorado after Rebecca's death, as witnessed by the following obituary which appeared in the local paper upon her death.:

"Miss Mary Alice Stahl, aged 75, former school teacher and principal of the Rochester grade schools, passed away in Logansport, Indiana, Sunday morning at 8:10 o'clock.

59 Generation 5 (con't) Death resulted from a cerebral hemorrhage, however Miss Stahl had been in failing health for the past two or three years. During the prime of her useful life in the educational and civic affairs of this community, Miss Stahl through her friendly and motherly manner made a host of friends throughout this community. The former school teacher whose tenure in the school system in Rochester was perhaps as long or longer than that of any other instructor, took an active interest in all forms of charitable work even to an extent where it jeopardized her own personal security. Until ill health forbade, Miss Stahl was an ardent worker in the various branches of the Baptist church of this city, of which organization whe was a member since girlhood. Mary Alice, daughter of Jacob and Rebecca Coldwell Stahl, was born in Rochester, Ind. on September 1st, 1858 and with the exception of a few years spent in the West, she had resided in this community throughout practically all of her life. Most of Miss Stahl's educational career was spent at the Columbia building, where her first experience in principalship was under the supervision of the late James Scull. Miss Stahl took an active interest in the affairs of the Rochester Women's Club. The survivors are a brother, Alvah Stahl of Los Angeles, California; a sister, Mrs. Louella Brickle, of Rochester, and a number of nephews and nieces. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock at the Zimmerman Brothers Funeral Home, with Rev. B.G. Field of the First Baptist Church officiating. Interment will be made in the IOOF cemetery. The body will lie in state at the funeral home where friends may call up until the hour of the funeral."

Arthur Leroy STAHL was buried in Los Angeles National Cemetery. Sect. 25, Row G, site 19. Notes for Arthur Leroy STAHL: Like his brother, Samuel, Arthur joined Company K of the 34th Ohio Infantry on 5 August, 1862 and joined his unit on 29 August at Raleigh, Virginia. On his enlistment form he is described as being 18 years and 10 months old, 5'10" in height, and having blue eyes, light hair, and a fair complexion. He was transferred to Company G in September, 1864. The 34th Ohio Infantry suffered such a reduction in its numbers due to either combat losses or capture by Confederate forces that it was ultimately absorbed by the 36th Ohio Infantry toward the end of the war. On his pension declaration of 26 March 1907 he indicates that he was discharged from the service on 27 June 1865 at Cumberland, Maryland. On 26 Mar 1901 Arthur filled out a Bureau of Pensions form which, among other things, contains the following information: prior to enlistment, lived on farm about 4 miles east of Greenville, OH, p.o. box Gettysburg. After discharge from the army, lived "on my father's farm 4 miles east of Greenville, Darke County, from 1865 to 1869; came west in Colo., in Nebraska, in Texas, then to Arizona in 1874."

61 Generation 5 (con't) ii. ARTHUR LEROY STAHL was born on 30 Jun 1900 in Arizona703.Hediedon24Jun 1944 in Los Angeles (L.A.), CA689. 77. FRANCIS MARION5 STAHL (Michael4, Jacob3, Michael2, Henry1) was born on 23 May 1841 in Adams twp. (Darke), OH13. He died on 04 Mar 1937 in Burlingame (Osage), KS13. He married Jennie (Jane) Isabel DICKSON, daughter of Alexander DICKSON and Isabel ANDERSON, on 29 Apr 1869568 in Topeka (Shawnee), KS.. She was born on 05 Jan 1847 in New York569. She died on 13 Sep 1917 in Topeka (Shawnee), KS570. Francis Marion STAHL was buried in Auburn cemetery, Shawnee county, KS225. Notes for Francis Marion STAHL: Much of F.M. Stahl's life is recounted in his autobiography, One Way Ticket to Kansas, published by University of Kansas Press in 1959 and written by Margaret Whittemore. There are also numerous entries relating to Frank in an earlier publication, A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, by William E. Connelly (1918, Lewis Publishing, Chicago.) Frank evidently was a figure of some notoriety, with the 1976 book, Witness of the Times: A History of Shawnee County (Bird and Wallace), referring to him as "the most colorful figure to come out of Auburn Township." He moved to Kansas from Darke County, Ohio when he was about 15 and got his first job working for Robert Simmerwell at his grist mill in Auburn. In 1860 he participated in a prospecting expedition to Colorado and, in 1861, helped drive a yoke of oxen to New Mexico via the Santa Fe Trail. He served in the 2nd Kansas Cavalry during the Civil War, and was wounded in the arm and side at a skirmish at Dardanelle, Arkansas in 1863. The wound effectively kept him from combat assignments during the rest of the war. The details of his military service as recounted in the books by Connelly and Whittemore are verified by the information found in his military service records and pension records are on file at National Archives. In 1865 he headed a cattle drive on the Santa Fe Trail, from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Union. A diary of that journey is on file at the Kansas State Historical Society and is also available online at http://www.frankstahlbio.net. He later served as a second lieutenant in the 18th Kansas Cavalry (1867), a unit formed in response to outbreaks of hostility with various Indian tribes. In 1892 he was elected to the Kansas state legislature. In 1894 he became treasurer for Shawnee County and, in 1900, chief of police in Topeka. He was well known for some daring raids in search of contraband liquor and, in a paradoxical twist, once arrested the bar-wrecking Carrie Nation for destruction of property, even though he was a staunch supporter of her position on alcohol. Most of his later years appear to have been spent in Topeka, although his wife continued to oversee the farm south of town. The farm was the scene of an annual temperancepicnicup through the mid 1930s. These picnics were gala affairs, as described by one participant:

Mr. Stahl was very much a temperance man and always had a speaker come for the occasion. The platform was decorated around the top and bottom with bunting which I liked. The seats were big boards held up by some kind of keg. There were no backs, of course. After we had sat still a long time mama let us children get up and go a ways from that platform to play with the other boys and girls. We enjoyed this very much. After the speaking was over we had dinner and then we were given a dipper of ice cream on a little wooden dish. We broke off an edge of the dish to eat with. (Bird and Wallace, p. 323)

Jennie (Jane) Isabel DICKSON was buried in Auburn cemetery, Shawnee county, KS225, 570. Notes for Jennie (Jane) Isabel DICKSON: Funeral services in Auburn Presbyterian Church on 16 Sep 1917. Notes from Leon Stahl say that she came with her family from NY to Kansas in 1868 or 1869, settling 2 miles west of Auburn. Notes (taken, I think from an obit) indicate that she was a member of the Presbyterian Congregational Church in Topeka. His notes also add that "at the time of her death she was still

Notes for Jerome STAHL: A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans (Connelly, 1918) states that Jerome participated in the Civil War in two different units and that he spent three days as a prisoner at one point. His pension record in the National Archives (application number 1054480) confirms that he was in Company G of the 2nd Kansas Volunteer Militia. He enlisted on 1 September 1861 and was discharged on 30 October 1864, serving under Major General Curtis. He applied for a disability pension on 7 September 1891 but his claim was rejected on the grounds that "the organization in which claimant served as alleged was not in the U.S. service as shown by the records of the War Department." This probably means that his unit was a state militia that was never officially

64 Generation 5 (con't) ppy y mustered in as part of the federal army. The statement in Connelly's history that he served in two different units, and that one of those was the same one his brother, Frank, was in, is probably erroneous, based on the available pension records. His obituary appeared in the Topeka State Journal on 22 April 1915: "Jerome Stahl, 69 years old, died this morning at his home, 1157 Boswell Avenue. He was a brother of Frank Stahl, superintendent of the State Temperance Union. The funeral will be held from Penwell's Chapel, Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock."

The Nebraska City News relates the event as follows: "On Sunday afternoon, Rev. C.M. Shepherd united in marriage, Mr. Mack Fleck and Mrs. May Ault at the home of the bride's brother, Chief of Policy Henry Winton. It was a quiet affair, only relatives being present. An elegant repast was spread, the bride is a most estimable lady, while the groom is sheriff of Eagle County, Colorado, one of its wealthiest men, and stands high in the states. - Eagle County Times. Published in The Basalt Journal Journal, Eagle County, Colorado January 20, 1900 -

A local Eagle County, Colorado paper had the following obituary for Mack: FLECK, MACK - CALLED BY GRIM REAPER - Another Eagle County prioneer passes away - died in California last week - was leading citizen and public officer of county for forty years. Mack Gaylord FLECK was born March 6, 1856, near Upper Sandusky Ohio. He came with his parents Peter and Sarah Fleck, when five years old, to Auburn township, Shawnee county, Kansas, being the eldest of eight children who lived to manhood and womanhood. He was married at Auburn, Kansas, April 23, 1876 to Mary Bell STAHL. Ten children were born to them,

66 Generation 5 (con't) py his wife passing away November 7, 1898. He later married Maybelle AULT, January 1900. He first came to Colorado in 1875, to near this part in 1878, and was back and forth to Auburn Kansas until 1884 when he brought his family, a wife and four children to Red Cliff and Eagle county. He moved in what is now the Gustafson place in April, 1880, later moving to what is now Barlow ranch, both near Avon where he resided until six years ago, when he moved to Salida, Colorado. In September, he accompanied his daughter and son in law Mr. and Mrs. M.B. ALLEN, by auto to Long Beach, Calif where he passed away February 4, 1926, of complications of pneumonia and influenza, aggravated by asthma, after an illness of two weeks. His wife, three daughters, son and granddaughter, and their families were with him in Long Beach during his illness.

In the death of Mack Fleck one of the very old time characters of Eagle county and Colorado passes on. Mack Fleck was one of Eagle county's most progressive citizens for nearly forty years. He made friends and some enemies. You never were in any doubt where Mack Fleck stood on any public question. In politics always a Republican. He was always foremost in any project for the betterment of the community, and he was known far and wide. He leaves a host of friends. So passeth the procession of old-timers. - Holy Cross Trail. The funeral was held in Long Beach, Calif. last Sunday afternoon and interment was made in a cemetery there.

Another local obituary from a Salida paper:

PROMINENT PIONEER OF SALIDA DIES ON COAST - Word has been received in this city of the death of Mack FLECK, a pioneer resident of the state and of this community at Long Beach, California, Thursday February 4. Death resulted from flu-pneumonia and a complication of diseases. Mr. Fleck had gone to California last November for his health, and was deriving much benefit from the change of climate until this recent illness overtook him. With him at the time of his death were his wife, his son Roy, of Washington, his daughters, Mrs. J.H. MCMUELLEN, Mrs. Minnie RICHARDSON and Mrs. M.B. ALLEN, of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and a niece, Mrs.Lyman BANKS. Those in Salida to mourn Mr. Fleck's death are a daughter, Mrs. F. A. BEAUREGARD, a son, Lloyd Fleck, and a step-son Harry AULT. Other children surviving are Mrs. R.A. COLLINS of Minturn, Mrs. A.B.WALTERS, of Red Cliff, and a son Ivan Fleck; also a brother, Charles in Pueblo, and other sisters and brothers in the east. Mack Fleck was born in Ohio, March 6, 1856, moving to Kansas when a mere child, and to Colorado in 1880, locating first at Leadville. At later intervals he resided at Red Cliff and in the Holy Cross district, finally taking up a ranch at Avon, where he lived until coming to Salida six years ago. Mr. Fleck had held different positions of esteem and trust, having been sheriff of Eagle County for six years, a commissioner of that County for a like period of years, president of the school board, and serving in various other capacities in a satisfactory manner. Many pioneers of Chaffee Lake, Eagle, Garfield and Mesa counties will mourn the passing of one of their number, since Mr. Fleck was prominently interested in all activities in the communities in which he had resided for a number of years, and was held in the highest respect

Notes for Catharine NEFF: Mrs. Charles Stahl dies suddenly this afternoon Was taken at noon with neuralgia of the heart - died at 1:45

Mrs. Charles Stahl passed away at the family residence, one-half mile east and two miles south of Liberty Center, at 1:45 this afternoon. Death was due to neuralgia of the heart, from which she has been suffering for some time. She was apparently feeling much better lately, as she attended a funeral yesterday, acting as a pall bearer. Mrs. Stahl was able to be up and around the house this morning, but had an attack about noon, at which time a physician was called. She rallied from that attack only to go into another and died before the doctor arrived. She was 63 years of age and has lived in the country (sic) nearly all her life.

She had apparently been well as usual up until the fatal attack, and on Thursday was one of the pall bearers at the funeral of Mrs. Tamson Jamison. Members of the Beckler family, of Bluffton, were passing the Stahl home and stopped for a brief visit, and discovered she was sick, remained with her, but she did not rally from the attack. The decedent was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Neff, both deceased, and was born in Ohio, moving later to a farm south of Bluffton. Surviving are the husband and one son, Fred. The latter has been away from Liberty Center several years and his exact whereabouts are not known. Brothers and sisters surviving are Amos Neff, Mrs. Charles Huss, Mrs. Dick Poffenberger, of Bluffton; and Mrs. Lewis Hedges, of the northern part of the state.

Notes for Joseph STAHL: Biographical Memoirs of Wells County, Indiana, (Bowen Publisher, Logansport, IN, 1903. pp. 364-365) has the following lengthy entry for Joseph.

"A native of Bluffton, Wells County, Indiana, Joseph STAHL was born September 4, 1856, and is a son of Jacob and Mary J. (Grove) STAHL, of whom further mention will at once be made, both being now deceased. Jacob STAHL, Sr., a native of Bedford, Pennsylvania, was a son of Abram and Rebecca STAHL, who were also born in the Keystone state. Jacob was but twelve years of age when brought to Wells County, Indiana, by his parents, who settled on a farm in Nottingham township, and on that farm Jacob grew to manhood. He there married Miss Grove, who was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, and with her parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Grove, came to Wells County, Indiana, when she was but six years of age, about 1839, the family settling in Harrison township. At his marriage Jacob STAHL located in Bluffton, where he followed his trade as a carpenter for eight years, and then came to Liberty township and settled on the farm which his son, Joseph, now owns and occupies, and where he erected one of the first frame houses in the township. This farm had been entered from the government by Abram STAHL, his father, and when Jacob Sr. settled on it it was one stretch of timber land, but Jacob succeeded in clearing it up and in converting it into one of the pleasantest homesteads in the township at that early day. Here he and wife passed the remainder of life, Jacob, who was born March 20, 1825, dying May 20, 1893, and Mary J., who was born May 12, 1835, dying April 9, 1898. They were the parents of two children, Charles and Joseph.

The younger of these two, Joseph STAHL, is the gentleman whose name opens this biography. He was educated preliminarily in the public school of Liberty township, which he attended until he was eighteen years of age, and then passed one term in the Bluffton high school. At the age of nineteen years, Joseph received a portion of his one-third interest in the estate, and at once invested it in a forty-acre tract of land, but continued to make his home with his father, receiving one-third of the products of the farm for his services until his marriages when about twenty-two years old, and of which event farther mention will be made. He then erected a dwelling on his own land, but continued to work for his father until the latter's death; from first to last he worked on the one-third principle for about twenty years. Since the mother's death the property has been equally divided between Joseph and his brother Charles, putting the latter in possession of one hundred and fifty acres, one hundred and twenty of the old home place and thirty-eight acres in Chester township. Mr. Stahl is a general farmer and a breeder of live stock, and one of the most successful agriculturists of his age in the township.

November 28, 1878, Joseph STAHL married Miss Mary Snow, who was born January 24, 1860, and is a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Booth) Snow. To this blissful union have been born two children, namely: Edith, married to Herbert Smith and now living on Joseph Stahl's farm, assisting in its cultivation during the summer seasons and teaching school during the winters; Homer Augustus, the younger of the two, is also a teacher and has his residence on the home place. Further information in relation to the Snow family may be gleaned from the biographical record of George Snow on another page of this volume.

Joseph STAHL, since he has been entitled to the exercise of his franchise, has voted with the Democratic party, and his first official position under the auspices of that organization was as superintendent of gravel roads for two years, having charge of seventy-three linear miles. In 1900 he was elected to the commissionership of the second district of his county. He has never been without ample means, having always been wise enough to add to his possession through

71 Generation 5 (con't) his industry and careful management and is today recognized as one of the most substantial and useful citizens of Liberty township. He is always ready to aid financially in promoting such improvements as may be of permanent benefit to his fellow citizens, and there is certainly not a more respected family in Liberty township than that of Joseph STAHL."

Following is a transcription of his obituary from the local newspaper.

Joseph Stahl dropped dead this afternoon Sudden death of a former county commissioner, a shock to community Stricken suddenly at Stahl cemetery Had gone there to assist work - was member of county council

Joseph Stahl, aged 63, of Liberty township, one of Wells County's most prominent citizens, a member of the county council, and a former county commissioner, died about 2 o'clock this afternoon, from a sudden attack of illness, culminating in a fatal heart seizure. His death occurred at the Stahl cemetery, which is located about one mile south and one-half mile west of Reiffsburg. He and his brother Charles, and James Mann, of Poneto, had gone to the cemetery this forenoon to do some work in connecting with the general upbuilding and incorporation of the cemetery of the cemetery, an enterprise in which Mr. Stahl has been one of the leaders. His brother and Mr. Mann reported that Mr. Stahl, after a brief illness, collapsed completely and toppled over dead. They went to the Henry Johns home, near the cemetery, and sent a summons for the coroner, and response was made by Daniel Kilty, an employee of Thoma & Son, who is serving as deputy coroner in the absence of Coroner HermanThomain the east. He was accompanied by Dr. Louis Severin, to assist him in diagnosing the case. The news of Mr. Stahl's death came as a great shock to the relatives and to the community generally, and the shock was particularly severe to the wife and a son and daughter. Mrs. Stahl was overcome with grief when a telephone call first conveyed to her the news of her husband's death. He left home this forenoon apparently in as good health as usual. The son, Gus Stahl, was summoned from the McFarren shoe store by the death message, although he first thought that his father was only seriously ill. The body will be taken to the home of Mr. Stahl in Liberty township, near Liberty Center, late today. Was native of Bluffton

Joseph Stahl was a native of Bluffton, having been born in this city September 4, 1856, a son of Jacob and Mary J. (Grove) Stahl. Except for a few years in early childhood he lived on a farm in Liberty township, and obtained his early education in the schools of that township. At the age of nineteen years he became the owner of a forty acre tract of land, and has spent his entire business life as a farmer and breeder of livestock, being considered on of the most successful agriculturalists of his age in the county. He was married November 28, 1878, to miss Mary Snow, a native of Wells county also. Two children were born to this union, Mrs. Edith Smith, wife of trustee Herbert F. Smith, of Liberty township, and Homer Augustus Stahl, a clerk at McFarren's shoe store. Mr. Stahl was a superintendent of gravel roads of his district for two years, and in 1900 was elected as a commissioner from the second district of this county, both of which positions he filled satisfactorily and efficiently. At the time of his death he was a member of the county council of Wells County, a position he has filled with universal satisfaction to his constituents. One brother, Charles Stahl, survives.

Notes for John Alden MEREDITH: A delayed birth certificate # 99-258 lists his birth date as 26 July, 1910. The certificate was filed about 1 March 1915 (?) when John A. was already 4 years old. John A. attended Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas for his engineering degree. According to his own account, he later met Mae Dee Jelinek when he was working for the state highway department. They were married in the living room of Mae Dee's parents' house in Munden, KS on 1 September 1940. After their marriage, they moved to Manitou Springs, Colo. From there they went to Lakewood, Colorado where he worked with the Bureau of Reclamation. Most of their time in the Denver area was spent at 3920 Hoyt in Wheat Ridge, where they lived from about 1954 through the early 1970s. They sold that house and moved to 652 So. Xenon Ct. in Lakewood after their children were married. In the mid 1950s he started his own drilling company--Meredith Drilling--located at 945 S. Huron in Denver. This became a very successful enterprise. The company drilled the foundations for Denver's first skyscraper, portions of interstate 70, and also drilled missile silos in the northern plains states. John A. retired inthelate 1970s and sold the company to a Canadian firm. John A. was forever thinking up new gadgets. When John Dee was a baby, John A. invented the John Dee Baby Bottle Holder, designed to hold the bottle overthe crib with elastic straps so that the infant could feed on demand. Later ideaswere PUMS (for "Protect Your Money"), T-shirts with pockets sewn in, blue salt (so you could see how much you were putting on your food), and a universally-flexible visor extender for cars. He had a particular kind of creativity and was always at work mentally on some project. He stayed in Denver briefly after Mae Dee died in 1987, but ultimately ended up moving to Munden, Kansas. He stayed there for a few years, wintering in Phoenix. Late in 1992 he moved to Phoenix. His health deteriorated quickly, however, and he was briefly hospitalized. He died of congestive heart failure in his sleep.
