Notes for Lydia Morton: Tecumseh Herald, June 12, 1879, page 3:

Stevenson - at the family residence in Clinton Township, on Saturday, May 30 1879, Lydia widow of Wm. Stevenson, in the 71st year of her age.

Mrs. Stevenson was born in Dungall, Antrim County, Ireland, and in 1866 removed to this community with her husband, where they have lived together until twelve weeks before her death, when her beloved and faithful partner fell asleep in Jesus. Her ten children, four sons and six daughters, survive her, and unto most of them was it given to surround their mother in her last hours; ministering unto her and receiving her dying benedictions. Her faith in Jesus Christ was constant in life and triumphed in death. Holy scripture was peculiarly precious in her eyes as being God's word and will to her, delighting to make it the rule of her life, it became "sweeter than honey, of the droppings from the honey-comb" to her soul. Mrs. Stevenson was faithful wife and mother enjoying the respect and confidence of the community. Peace to her memory.Tecumseh Herald, June 12, 1879, page 3:

______Inventory of property at death listed $34. household goods, $2000. real estate $581.75 in other personal estates. excerpt from Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen letter 2/28/1976:

I'll tell you about the McClintock's and the Stevenson's. The two families knew each other in Ireland. They lived on farms near each other in the Townland of Carnlea outside Ballymena. Townland is land with small farms around a city and there are 5 townlands around Ballymena. Carnlea is north of town. I have a letter written by a man at Carnlea, to Agnes McClintock in 1866 who had just moved to Illinois from Ireland with her mother and two brothers. The letter tells of our grt. grt. grandfather William Stevenson coming to the US. In part it says "...that day month Wm. Stevenson left his own place he sat down on his new farm in the SE of Michigan there is 80 acres of it______20 in a state of nature and there was 14 acres of it in crop when he got it. He had to pay between six and seven hundred pounds for it. His health is good and he likes the country well. They live near Robert and James Boyd, the Herbison's, the ______, Macook and a great many of his old neighbours is near him." That's why our grt. grt. grandparents came to the US, others had come from Ireland and wrote telling how great this country was. Buried Brookside Cemetery, Tecumseh, Michigan. William and Lydia Morton Stevenson lived on a farm outside of Ballymena, County Antrim, N. Ireland. In 1866 they came to the USA with nine of their ten children and in May 1866 they bought a farm of 80 acres north of Tecumseh, Michigan in Clinton Twp. When they moved on the farm, 20 acres was still virgin land. William and Lydia lived on that farm until they both died in 1879 and the farm had to be sold to satisfy the estate debts. The original farm house stood until the early 1960's until it was destroyed by a tornado. The farm was owned by a man named Herbert Murphy in 1975. per letter from Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen. NOTE: THE JOSEPH HERBISON FAMILY AND THE ROBERT MCCOOK FAMILY LIVE IN CLINTON TWP. NEAR THE STEVENSONS. THEY CAME TO MICHIGAN AROUND 1850 BASED ON THE PLACE OF BIRTH OF THEIR CHILDREN. WE ARE ASSUMING THAT THE STEVENSONS MOVED TO MICHIGAN BECAUSE THEIR FRIENDS WERE ALREADY HERE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE LAND IN MICHIGAN. LOOK AT 1874 MAP IN NOTEBOOK AND ALSO THE 1860, 70 AND 80 CENSUS.

______Generation 2 (con't) Tecumseh Herald, March 13, 1879, page 3.

Stevenson - At his residence in Clinton township, on Saturday, March 8th, 1879, William Stevneson, aged 75 years.

The deceased had lived in this vicinity since 1866, having removed hither from Killoonney(sic. Klldowney), County of Antrim, Ireland, his native town. He died of consumption from which he had suffered in much patience and with religious trust for many years. He was a man of remarkable kindness and affection in his family and greatly esteemed by all who knew him. For more than forty years before his removal here, he had been a member of the Presbyterian Church, but infirmity of health and declining years with remote residence from house of worship had deterred him from removal of his church relation to this country, yet the same Christian faith and trust ever characterized his life down to the end of his days.

Black edged Death Letter from Lydia Morton to her son Adam Stevenson about the death of his father, William. (Punctuation added)

1879 Clinton March 11th

Dear Son,

Adam it is with a sorrowful heart that I seat myself to relate to you the Death of your father. He died Saturday the 8th day of this month and was buried on Monday the 10th. Adam it came very unexpected to us. The last three days he was so much better that we all thought that he would be up in a few days and he thought so himself. He told us to lay away his shoes for he would want them in a little while but he will want them no more.

Adam, we wanted to send you a telegram but him dying on Saturday those that has charge of the funeral said that it would be out of the question for you to get here as we could not keep him any longer than Monday.

Adam, it was unexpected and sad for all of us but he died very easy which ought to be a great comfort to all of us. He never moved a muscle but left this world as though he had been going to sleep. He died at half past 9 o'clock on Saturday orning and burial at 2 o'clock on Monday. The funeral sermon was preached at the house. He was buried in Tecumseh. Adam there is nothing more that I feel able to write you at present no more but remaining as ever your affectionate mother to death.

Notes for Mary E. Stevenson: "Mary was the only one of the children of Lydia Morton and William Stevenson that did not come to the US in 1866 with her parents. She was married to a John Smith and they farmed near Ballymena and owned property in Ballymena. I have several letters written by Mary Smith to my Grt. Grandfather Adam Stevenson. (see copy of letter - ask) Mary and John Smith had no family of their own and when they retired from farming just before the turn of the century they mvoed to one of the homes they owned in Ballymena.

William St. LETTER FROM MARY STEVENSON SMITH TO HER BROTHER Ballymena ADAM IN IOWA. MARY IS THE DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM AND LYDIA MORTON STEVENSON. June 10th, 1904 Generation 2 (con't) June 10th, 1904

My Dear Brother,

We were very glad to have your kind and welcome letter and to see from it you are all quite well. You will think us very long of replying to it, but you must not think I appreciated it any the less, but as I am not so good at writing myself as I want to, I have to be more or less dependent on someone else. This is your cousin Adam Stevenson's eldest daughter that is writing you now but of course you don't know anything about his family.

We are both quite well at present but indeed the past Winter has been pretty severe on me. I am hobbled with rheumatism and you yourself have a fair idea what damp, wet weather means to those who are. We are enjoying beautiful weather now and it makes me feel so much better. We have a little pony and trap and we drive out quite often to the country which is very refreshing.

You asked about some of our neighbors. Indeed there are so many changes, it would be difficult for me to tell you about them all. I will however do my best to remember all that I think would interest you.

Andrew Kerr is still alive and has been enjoying (I should judge from his robust appearance) excellent health up till a month or two ago when he was ill for some time, but I think he is quite well again. He is living at present in Casemento Castle with people named Calderwood who have part of it rented. He sold his farm some years ago and has been living on his means since. His old sister Jane who used to live with him died 9 or 10 years ago. James and William his brothers are also both dead. A son of James died last February, Adam Stevenson Kerr. There is only one more son and daughter left who still live in the old place. William's family are all married but one son who lives at home, a widow sister keeps house for him. She was married to cousin James Stevenson, who died four years ago. Uncle and Aunt Stevenson are both dead some years ago. Their farm was sold after young James died and John Adams, a brother in law of Adam's bought it.

Robert Hanna died this Spring and his son John is living on the farm. Mary Jane Harbinson was married to a man named Campbell, who died shortly after they were married. She has two of a family, little girls the eldest is about 11 years of age. She lives on her Grandfather's farm in the Cabrogh. Lydia is married in America. I think she is in New York State. Susan was married to Adam Harbinson, her cousin, but is dead and he is married again to Annie Morton.

James Cumming is still alive and looks quite fresh for a man of his age. David Park is dead six or seven years ago and a son of Robert Guy's lives on his farm. His family live in coffer houses through the country and work for the farmers.

We received your photos alright, and I need not tell you how glad I was to have it. John and I will have ours taken sometime soon and will send you ours soon as we get them.

I hope this will find you all quite well, as it leaves us at present.

Your affect. Sister,

Mary Smith.

P. S. John joins with me in sending his kindest regards. M. S. Generation 2 (con't)

Notes for Lydia Stevenson: "Lydia Stevenson never married and I only know that she was a nurse and took care of others in their homes. I am told she was a very kind person and spent her life helping others. Her father listed all his children in his will and gives a small share of his estate to each but he singles out Lydia and asks her in his will if she will please watch out for her mother, Lydia Morton Stevenson, till the mother's death." per Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen.

See notes Agnes McClintock Stevenson.

"About 1892 (1890?) Nancy Stevenson McClintock came back to Tecumseh and in August, 1894 she married John Boyd of Macon. They went to Ireland on their honeymoon. John was a very kind and well to do man and I understand the marriage more than made up for the bad time she had with James. Last summer when I visited Margaretta McClelland Nichols she told me a story that took place when Margaretta was a young girl. Adam Stevenson and his daughter Agnes (Adam's wife was dead by this time) came to Michigan for a visit. Nancy didn't want to even see her brother but Margaretta said that she loaded them up in the buggy and took Adam and his daughter out to the Boyd farm east of Tecumseh. Nancy was outside doing some chores and when she saw who Margaretta was bringing she turned her back and ignored them. Margaretta said that she just dumped them off and announced to Nancy that she would be back the next day to pick up Adam and his daughter Agnes! Nancy had to take them in and the next day when Margaretta came back, Adam and Nancy were getting along, talking to each other and trying to understand." per letter from Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen 2/28/1976.

Nancy seems to be the one that watched out for the family, I hear nothing but good about her. Nancy and John Boyd went to Ireland on their honeymoon and again to get Nancy's sister Mary about 13 years later. Nancy outlived her second husband and died in 1932 and is buried at Brookside Cemetery, Tecumseh, MI. Per Mary Beth Stevenson Jansson

Notes for William Stevenson: William grew up on the farm in Clinton Twp and set out on his own when he was about 25 years old. His travels took him west and he finally settled at Bolette, North Dakota where he farmed. William also had weak lungs as his father did, but it didn't have time to do him in. Instead, just two weeks before he was to marry a widow named Mary ______, he was killed in an accident. William tangled with a horse that kicked him in the head. Mary accompanied the body of her fiance back to Tecumseh by train and as soon as William was buried, Mary went back to N. Dakota. Nancy and your grandmother (Lovina) tried to contact her but she never answered their letters and they never heard from her again.- Mary beth Janssen.

Notes for John Stevenson: Lydia Morton Stevenson would have been 50 years old when when he was born if the dates we have are correct.

"He was a lumberjack and lived in central Minnesota did not have a permanent address but traveling with the lumber camps. I have some letters he wrote to my grt. grandfather Adam Stevenson telling how lonely he was. The last letter he wrote to Adam was dated 1895 and he told Adam that he was coming down the Mississippi on a raft and then coming across Iowa to visit Adam that summer. He never came and was never heard from again. The family always assumed that he either met with foul play or could have drowned on the way to see my grt. grandfather." per Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen.

Notes for Agnes McClintock: excerpts from Mary Beth Stevenson Janssen letter 2/28/1976:

"Agnes McClintock had herself a boyfriend when she came to the US in 1866, the same year as the Stevenson's. I have 6 love letters he wrote to her begging her to come back to Ireland. He says he can't think of any other woman and remembers "kissing her by the banks of the Coldrain river..." She finally wrote him a Dear John letter and in his last letter to her, Hugh Taggart laments the fact that he'll never look at another woman and tells Agnes that she doesn't realize what she is passing up, he has 3 cows, 2 horses, and a farm! She must have thought a great deal of the man because the letters were tied with a white ribbon and we found them in a trunk in the attic of the Stevenson home place. Agnes lived with her mother and brother James on the farm they owned in Illinois until she married Adam Stevenson. To put it politely, Agnes worked her rear end off on the farm before she married Adam and farmed nearby. She chopped down trees, milked cows, planted and harvested crops, etc. and didn't get much help from her brother. James was the black sheep of the McClintock family, he chased anything in skirts and drank anything drinkable. James was a good horseman but too busy drinking to be very useful on the farm.

In the mean time your great great aunt Nancy Stevenson came out to Illinois and I believe she was keeping house for her brother Adam. Her address on her marriage license was given as Monroe, Ogle County, Illinois the same address as Adam's. Adam Stevenson and Agnes McClintock got married at the Presbyterian Church, Rockford in Dec., 1874 and Nancy and James McClintock were married in the same church in March, 1875. The marriage didn't last long though, James' drinking got progressively worse and finally nancy just packed up and waled out. The story that the family always told was that nancy lost the baby she was carrying and James demanded that same Generation 3 (con't) family always told was that nancy lost the baby she was carrying and James demanded that same day that she get out of bed and get to work in the fields. Since she lost the baby, James wanted her to get something accomplished that day! That was supposed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. She never came back to him and went instead to new York state and worked as a milliner for over 15 years. Why New York? I have old letters that mention Stevenson relatives in NY state but there isn't much information on them. Don't know exactly where Nancy lived those 15 years. In 1878 James got the divorce he filed for from Nancy on the grounds of desertion. Because of the bad experience nancy had with James, she wouldn't have anything to do with her brother Adam for many years. nancy felt that Adam didn't do all he could to help her. Adam was married to James's sister so he was caught in the middle. In 1883 Adam and Agnes Stevenson moved to the home place that they bought south of Mason City, Iowa.. And about the same time James and Agnes's mother died, and James had the McClintock farm all to himself and tried to farm it when he was sober. James took in a housekeeper after his mother died, a German lad that could hardly speak English. They did communicate though. She became pregnant by James and had a baby girl, Katie McClintock, in Jan., 1888. James finally married Katie's mother in June, 1888 and in Nov., 1888 James met with an accident that killed him. He was drunk at the time. James didn't have a will and the German wife stood to inherit the farm. But Agnes Stevenson wanted to come in for her share of the estate. She had worked on the farm from 1866 until she married in 1874 and never got a settlement when her mother died. She took her claim to court and through a long process, Agens ended up with the whole farm. The German lady and her daughter were out in the cold! (I have the trial transcript.) Agnes sold the farm in Illinois and with the sale money bought the farm south of Mason City that was passed down to my grt. aunt Agnes, to my dad, and now Gary and I won the farm." also see notes for Nancy Stevenson and Adam Stevenson.

Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Stevenson Craig was born in Antrim county, Ireland, of Scotch-Irish parents, February 2nd, 1841, and died at Ellsworth, Kansas, February 2nd, 1917, at the age of 77 years.

She was married to Hugh Craig May 6th, 1869, at Toledo, Ohio. In the same year they moved to Kansas, homesteading near Clyde. Here within a period of six months death claimed five of the children, leaving only two, Mrs. T. Raff, of this city and Mrs. Mary Moore to mourn the loss of a father and mother, the husband havig preceded the wife in death November 26th, 1911.

In 1904 husband and wife moved back to Clyde. Three years ago Mrs. Craig went to the Old Soldiers' Widows' Home at Ellsworth, Kansas.

Since her husband's demise Mrs. Craig has slowly but surely declined beneath that withering blow. For her life no longer possessed anything to comfort and cheer. With her heart in the grave, life's joys gone, and pleasures dispelled, death's pitiless hand seized upon and slowly bore her down.

While a girl she gave herself to Jesus and her life was spent in faithful service to His cause. She was a faithful friend, a loving mother, a devoted wife. Now she doth rest from her labors.

Her funeral was conducted at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. W. T. Raff, of this city, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by the writer, and her dust laid to rest in Mt. Hope cemetery, while her spirit is at rest in the bosom of the Father. W. G. Burchard

John McClellan

John McClellan, who passed away peacefully at his residence in Raisin Township near Holloway, on Monday the 7th inst. was born in County Antrim, Ireland. In 1866 he came to the United States, living the greater part of the time in Macon Township, this county, until the time of his marriage to Miss Anna Stevenson July 2, 1878, when he settled on the prairie, east of Holloway. Later he lived on the Calhoun farm in Raisin. And on the Cadmus farm, northeast of Ridgeway village.

About three years ago he purchased the farm opposite the Presbyterian church in East Raisin. Of this church he had become a member nearly eighteen years ago and in its communion he died, at the age of 55 years, 7 months and 31 days. For a number of years, however, he was a member of the South Mason Reformed church and served in its Consistory as deacon.

In the various communities in which he lived, he gained many friends. His cheerful disposition and his ward heartedness to lend a helping hand made him a neighbor whose presence and association were appreciated and whose departure is regretted. In church work his willingness and affectiveness were a satisfaction to various pastors with whom he co-operated and he on his part, was certain to esteem the Lord's ministers very highly in love for their work's sake.

For several years he walked in almost constant companionship with death, the nature of his disease making a sudden summons probable, but he "feared no evil." The sickness, however, proved to be a lingering and painful one. Patiently suffering, he seramonly? awaited the end and has passed into the perfect peace.

The funeral services were held on Wednesday at the family residence, Rev. Hand and Rev. DeSpelder, officating. The burial occurred in Brookside cemetery, Tecumseh.

Mrs. John Schreder

Mrs. John Schreder was born in County Antrim, Ireland, July 12, 1852, thus she would have been 56 years old had she lived till next July. She came to Tecumseh at the age of 15 in which community she has since resided.

She was united in marriage to Mr. Schreder 31 years ago last December 15th. This union was blessed with six children, Lovisa, Lavina, Charles, Lydia, Margaret and Blanche. Theirs has been a happy beautiful family life, this is the first intrustion of the dreaded enemy Death. Mrs. Schreder was a member of the First Presbyterian Church. Her christian experience was real and vital, it brought comfort and rest in her struggle with pain.

She was a constant sufferer during the last few years of her life. While she was never vigorous, her contest for life was a valiant one, aided by physicians and kind, careful nursing and thoughtful home attention could bestow.

John Frederick: John Frederick Schreder was born on 15 Feb 1853 in Raisin, MI.

Notes for John Frederick Schreder: "Memoirs of Lenawee County Michigan" published by western Historical Association, Madison, Wisconsin, 1909:

John F. Schreder, supervisor, and one of the prominent citizens of Tecumseh township, was born on a farm in Raisin Twp, Feb. 15, 1852. He is the son of Israel H. (?) Schreder born in Pennsylvania in 1819, and his wife, Margaret Gillespie, a native of New York, born March 2, 1828, and a sketch of whose brother, Richard B. Gillespie, appears elsewhere in this volume. John Schreder, the great grandfather on the paternal side, was born in Hesse, Germany, in 1748, and died in Orange County, New York in 1823, at the age of seventy five years. He came to America in Generation 3 (con't) died in Orange County, New York in 1823, at the age of seventy five years. He came to America in 1776, and served in the British army two years as a Hessian soldier. Then he deserted to the American side and served during the remainder of the war in the Colonial army. In making his escape from the English forces, he was fired upon and slightly wounded, losing a finger from one of his hands. In 1788 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Hack, who was born in Rhode Island in 1767 and died in 1851 at the age of eighty-four years. The paternal grandfather, John F. Schreder, which name the subject of this review also bears, was born in Pennsylvania and came to Tecumseh in 1830. Here he operated the first grist mill erected in the county, and which was owned by Brown and Evans. Before coming to Michigan, he had served in the American Army i the War of 1812. Later in his life, he entered land under the homestead law in Ridgeway township, and there both he and his wife died. Israel H. Schreder the father of our subject, was an agriculturist and as a Democrat was elected to the position of justice of the peace. He was twice married: first of Sept. 12, 1844 to Ansah Florence, who died on June 8, 1846 and on July 4, 1848 the marriage to Margaret Gillespie was solemnized. This lady is the mother of the subject of this sketch, died Dec. 19. 1897. John F. Schreder to whom this review is dedicated, was reared on his father's farm and enjoyed such educational advantages as were afforded by the schools of the day. His active career has been devoted to agricultural pursuits and he is at the present time the owner of 70 acres of land in Tecumseh Township although he makes his home in Tecumseh village. In his political relations he has been allied with the Republican party ever since he became of age, and as the successful candidate of the party is now serving his fourth term as supervisor. For ten years prior to his election to this office he was highway commissioner. The Schreder family has been prominently identified with the Masonic order for many years. The paternal grandfather became a member of Tecumseh Lodge, No. 69 by transfer from Pennsylvania Lodge No. 136, soon after coming to Tecumseh. The father, Israel H. (?) Schreder was a member of the Tecumseh Lodge and Tecumseh Chapter No. 42, Royal Arch Masons, and for several years was worshipful master of the Lodge. The son, our subject, John F. Schreder, was made a Mason in Clinton Loge No. 175, at Clinton, Michigan, when but twenty one years of age. And when he removed to Tecumseh, he transferred his membership to Tecumseh Lodge No. 69. It was no unusual sight to see the three generations -- grandfather, father, and son -- sitting together in lodge gatherings.

Mr. Schreder has been twice married. On Dec. 15, 1878, occurred his union with Miss Jennie Stevenson born in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1851, and was the daughter of William and Lydia Stevenson, who emigrated to America in 1866 and located in Clinton Twp. To this union were born six children: Livisa C. became Mrs. Louis Millard, of Chicago; Lovina J. is now Mrs. W. J. Penman of Detroit; Charles F. in Utica, Michigan; Lydia M. is the wife of Fred Reed, of Chicago; Margaret M. is Mrs. Charles Ryan of Chicago; and Blanche $. now lives in Chicago. Mrs. Schreder passed to the great unknown on April 4, 1906 and her death was mourned by a large circle of friends. Mr. Schreder was untied in marriage to Mrs. Susie (Anderson) Coller, born in Livingston Co., New York, June 4, 1868, the daughter of Samuel and Hanna (Curry) Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are both natives of the Emerald Isle, who came to Lenawee County in 1877, and now they live retired in Tecumseh. Mr. and Mrs. Schreder and all of his children are members of the Presbyterian Church.

Subject: RE: Wm Ross

Hi Nancy,

I have a complete written family genealogy of the Ross family which was made by a second cousin in 1990. I have many copies of letters she wrote to Ireland concerning the Ross family. My grandfather was James T. Ross, James McClelland's son. William, who was James' father, was my great-great grandfather. I haven't put much on-line because there is so much in this book. I just started posting pictures of James McClelland Ross and his wife, Maria McCall, today.

Annie Morton was William's first wife who died when James was two. William married Agnes Craig on Oct. 1, 1873, and started their own family. Their children were: Sarah, 1875, Elizabeth, July 9, 1877, Agnes Jan. 16, 1879, Thomas Dec. 31, 1881, Alex June 1, 1886, and Jack (John).

From the book...James came to America, not just to seek his fortune but to escape an unhappy family at the hand of his step-mother, Agnes Craig. He suffered many indignities at the hand of his step-mother. James was forced to sleep in teh barn while his half-brothers and sister remained in the home. (Actually. I have an entire account written first hand by my great aunt about James, her father.) I also have his obituary. James, being the eldest (only son) inherited the farmland instead of Agnes Craig Ross or their sons. William had come to the US (I think about 1890) and Agnes followed. William died in Cedar Rapids on March 27, 1902. I am sure that Agnes returned before his death to Ireland. I will have to reread some of this info. James returned to Ireland and sold or deeded over the farm to William's brother, Thomas. A descendant of his, Thomas John Ross, was the last to own the family farm at Carncoagh. He died Oct. 23, 1967. I will try to get that info. on ancestry.com soon.

I have a certified copy of William's marriage to Annie Morton in 1866. Her father was Peter Morton, but I have no knowledge of her mother. Peter was a farmer in Dunfall, Ireland. Annie was buried in Carncoagh, Antrim, Ireland. on the family farm in 1868. James was their only son, but you said there was another baby born who died. I don't know anything about that one.

I would be interested to hear about the Morton side as my second counsin really tried to find info. about that side to no avail. Let me know. Thank.

Pam

Subj: Re: My dear friend, Date: 01/18/20006:02:12 PM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] (Florence Dillon) To: [email protected] There is so much to tell because we were friends for so long. We met in the fifth grade at Angel School! So I will tell you a little bit each e-mai. She was a rare friend with a sly and funny sense of humorand a chuckle I can still hear. It was very hard for me to lose her and in my old age (90) now I wish I had her. We had such fun! All for now, Florence

Re: My dear friend, Date: 02/03/20002:49:51 PM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] (Florence Dillon) To: [email protected] My dear Anne, I"m sorry it has taken me so long to give you answers - at least what I can -please remember all you asked happened nearly 70 years ago. Jule married before I did and I have been racking my brain to remember where she met Harry. For the better part of a year Jean and I roomed with Jule and Harry. They had an extra room with twin beds and Jule gave us dinner. Jean and I worked downtown and rode the Grandriver streetcar together and giggled all the way. All the Penman"s had a great sense of humor = Jule's was rare and quietly inside. There were lots of reasons for the dlvorce but there was no remorse on Jule"s part because Jule asked Francis (my husband) what she should do with her wedding ring. He told her she would get the best price if she pawned it. So she did! Gave the man a sad face and came out chuckling to me! We went to lunch! Jean had a severe stroke and used a walker and a cane. Jule had arranged for an apt. for her and she and I went shopping for kitchen equipment and food. I moved to Florida (had to get Francis out of the two story house and the cold, so I was in Florida when Jean died in 1974. I do not know why Jule signed "Penman" but I do know she had wanted to regain her maiden name. Mar.24th, 1974 Jule and I went on a Cruise together qand because we hadn"t seen each other in a long time, we sat up talking until 2 A. M. for two nights. I was so thankful we had had that time together when we lost her in January 1981. Francis died in March and my brother in May - all 1981. so the year was a blur for me and I remember little. The week before she died she called me and told me she had a Frantic Heart - did I know what that was - when I didn"t she told me, "It could stop at any time". Little did we know! I am 90 now and for the last twenty years I have traveled the World From the Artic Circle in both Norway and Alaska to way south of the equator on Safari in Africa (balloon ride included) and from Cairo to Hong Kong and China and much more of Europe and our USA. I'll bore you no more but I wanted you to see why I never wanted to marry again! Hope 2000 is good to you andyour family and Nancy and her family, Iove, Florence ------Generation 4 (con't)

FROM JOAN SCHREDER - WIFE OF DAVID SCHREDER

Note: When I first began to search for info about the Schreder line, I had very little to start with, so I picked Schreder names out of phone books across the nation and sent letters requesting information. As a result, one special letter came to us from Dave's aunt Iva Jane (Schreder)Beard. Her husband was still living at the time (1986). He died in 1988. She currently lives in Arizona and we have exchanged Christmas cards every year since we contacted her. Since we were in the process of moving to Pennsylvania at that time, I never followed up on any of the information she gave me. This is her letter, filled with many special memories of her childhood in Michigan.

August 20, 1986

Dear Mr. & Mrs. D. Schreder:

Your letter has taken a very long journey. I am assuming you are David Schreder, son of Chuck (Charles M. Schreder). Chuck was my youngest brother and Lyle S. is also my brother. I am Merrill & Madeline's daughter Iva Jane Schreder Beard. If you are David, Chuck's son, that makes me your aunt.

I will try to tell you what I can and then my Dad (Merrill) has one living brother in Michigan. That is Morton Schreder. I will give you his address in letter.

Charles F. Schreder -- I don't think he was born in Tecumseh, Michigan. He had one sister Levina Schreder Penman who was married to Will Penman. Will was a dentist and they had a sheep farm in Tecumseh. I believe they -- the Charles F. Schreder family --- were of Scotch-Irish descent. Schreder was pronounced just like "school" or "sKreeder." At one time my grandfather told us kids that his grandfather was an Orangeman in Ireland and the Catholics cut his ears off. He was always teasing us about being Catholic and going to confession. He did it in a loving way.

Iva Schreder, my grandma, your great-grandma was born right in Utica at the same homestead her mother was born in. Her mother's name was Helen Merrill. Iva Merrill Schreder was the wife of Charles F. Schreder. He was a great horseman. At one time in his life he raced trotters in upstate New York and in the Michigan area. When he married Iva and settled in Utica he was an animal tender or veterinary. I'm sure he had no degree but that is what he was. He treated, boarded, and cared for horses, cows, etc. As a matter of fact that was his cause of death. He had gone out on a cold Michigan winter night to treat a cow. He had to remove his coat and shirt to reach into the cow's throat. From the exposure he contracted pneumonia and died - I'm not sure of the date.

Charles F. Schreder and Iva had four sons. In order: Merrill L. Schreder --- deceased Morton Schreder ---- living Leon Ignace ------deceased Jack ------deceased

Tim Schreder who you wrote to originally was Jack's youngest son. Tim knew our Grandma but Charles F. had died before Tim was born. Generation 4 (con't) When we were youngsters, Lyle, Charley (- we called Chuck "Charley") and myself always went to Utica and stayed with our grandparents all summer. After Charles F. died our whole family moved to Utica to take care of my Grandma Iva. She still had her mother (Helen Merrill) and two elderly aunts living there with her. Our dad (Merrill) was the eldest son so he was chosen to take on the responsibility. The house was big and old. At one time it was a bank called the Wildcat Bank. The house had no bathroom or running water but my grandma always said what was good enough for her Mother was good enough for her. So we went outside to the well for water and outside to the jon. It was wonderful - we loved it. We had a river to swim in every day. We could toboggan and skate and slide all winter. We had a horse, cow, dogs, pigs, chickens. There were 40 acres of garden, orchard, woods, race track, baseball diamond and trap shoot. Utica, Michigan had home-coming on the 4th of July every year. Parade, picnic, horse races, ball games and all. They always used our facilities cause Utica was small and that was where it all happened. Wonderful years, precious memories. As a matter of fact, that is where your grandfather Merrill got his broken hip. Riding a horse at a 4th of July celebration, homecoming.

So much for that. I know of no one who has done any research of the Schreder family. Levina Schreder Penman had two daughters - Julia and I can't remember the second name but there may be a slight chance that at some time they or their children may have done some research. Morton Schreder may be able to tell you something more about them.

I can tell you that there are very few people who spell or pronounce the name the same as we do so maybe that would narrow it down somewhat. Morton had one daughter -- Irene Schreder McElreath (Mrs. William McElreath).

Leon Ignace never married and Jack Schreder had three boys - Jack, Dale, and Tim. I received your letter from their mom, so I'm sure they can't help you or they would have. Jackie (grandson of Charles F) was a superintendant of schools in Redding, California and we do have a Schreder Planetarium named for him in Redding. Jackie is now in Sacramento, Calif. He is a lobbyist for the school system of San Diego. He is Tim's oldest brother. I believe Tim is somewhere in your neck of the woods -- Arkansas or Alabama. He is no longer in Michigan. You may find him somewhere there . Tim loves to hunt, fish, and camp. In Kalamazoo he was Vice-President of loans at the First of America Bank. So where ever he is, he is probably in the banking business.

We did live in Battle Creek, Michigan until three years ago. Tom and I worked for the Federal Government as civilians. We are now retired and living in Tucson, Arizona. I am in touch with Thelma - your Mom, if you are David and spouse. Just talked to Thelma in June. If you do write to Morton - you would help if you could explain who you are and from which branch you fell.

I didn't intend to get off on this long life history but it's good to reminisce occasionally, especially about good things. Hope I have helped a little.

If you ever have time please let me know how you are progressing in your endeavor and tell me about you. Sincerely, Iva Jane Schreder Beard (Mrs. Tom Beard)

Notes for Charles Morton Schreder: From Utica Cemetery Walk Book:

"Morton Schreder 1907-1993 Morton Schreder was born in 1907, one of four sons of Charles and Iva (Merrill) Schreder. For quite a few years, he was employed at the Utica Milling Co. One day, he got caught in some machinery and lost his arm at the elbow. Mr. Crissman kept him on at the mill, but in a different capacity. Mort died May 28, 1993. He was a descendant, on his mother's side of the family of Stephen Merrill, who came to Utica in the late 1830's. He was a cabinet maker. In 1842, Stephen and Ann Harvey were married. She was born in New York State in 1821, and was a sister to William Henry Harvey, who was elected one of the first presidents of the Village of Utica.(**William Henry Harvey married my 2-great Aunt!!) After the "Wildcat Bank" failed, Stephen and Ann purchased the building and made it into their home. It was located on the curve of Auburn Rd., just west of the railroad crossings. Some members of the family lived there for over 100 years. Stephen hanged himself January 26, 1875. Until her death in 1912, Ann lived with her brother. Stephen and Ann had a son, Leon, born January 22, 1847. Leon married Helen Cougle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cougle, in 1876. Their daughter, Iva married Charles Schreder and had four sons. Charley was born in Tecumseh, Michigan in 1881 and came to Utica in 1901. He and Iva were married in 1903. Charley became well known for his training of race and show horses. He was a jockey for several years, following his completion of study at a veternarian college. Charley died of pneumonia in January 1936 and Iva died in January 1959."
