LANNUM Son M S W 6 IN Fa: VA Mo: IN Contacts: KEGreene@aol.com The following is from MEKessler@aol.com A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF BOONE & CLINTON COUNTIES, INDIANA A.W. BOWEN & CO, 1895 LANHAM, JOSEPH MALCOLM "Joseph Malcolm Lanham, farmer of Marion Twp., Boone Co., Indiana was born in Virginia January 1, 1832 and was reared on the home farm. His great grandfather came from Ireland to America in colonial Days and settled in Virginia, where his son, William was born. Pleasant, son of William, was born in Botetourt Co., Virginia, and married Jane Mc Cowen, daughter of James and Cynthia (Castor) Mc Cowen, and to this union were born 13 children, of whom Joseph M. was the sixth in order of birth. Joseph M. Lanham, at the age of 23, came to Boone Co., Indiana on a visit, and was so well pleased with the country that he decided to make this home, but he returned to Virginia for a year and then came back to Boone Co., Indiana, and February 3, 1857, married Mary E. Wright, who was born March 9, 1836, a daughter of John C. and Johanna (Norris) Wright. Mr. Lanham worked in a sawmill for a year after his marriage, and then cleared forty acres of heavily timbered land, taking in payment for his labor 40 acres of similar land. This he later sold and purchased 40 acres in Marion Twp., Boone Co., Indiana. To the marriage of Mr. Lanham have been born the following children: William P. born December 31, 1857 and married to Alice Price, George H. born March 20,1860 and died at 18, John F. born May 27, 1862, and died when young, Johanna, born September 26,1864, and married to Mr. Bush, Amanda, born January 18,1867, and married to AP Popino, Fredrick, born August 23, 1869, and married to Cordie P. Jones, Mollie E. born January 7, 1872, and married to William Kincade, Copeland, born April 27, 1874, Pearl born, August 17,1876, deceased, Cassius born February 10, 1879, Empson, born November 28, 1880, and died June 27, 1882, Olga, born June 27, 1882 (?) Mr. & Mrs. Lanham prospered in their farming, and he had added 20 acres to his original 40, sold out, and bought 79 acres on the east side of his present farm. About 1879, Mrs. Lanham's father died, and the farm by inheritance, and purchase, was increased to 159 acres. This farm is well tilled and has some 600 rods of tiling, and some 15 acres reserved for timber. Mr. Lanham has some fine trotting horses and has made raising sheep a specialty, shropshire strain being his favorite, it being short-legged, heavily-bodied and the leading animal for mutton. His dwelling cost $1,000 and his outbuildings are substantial and commodious; he takes great interest in good roads and has contributed liberally toward their construction, and has a splendid gravel road at his very door. He is a stockholder in the natural gas company and uses gas in his tasty dwelling. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Protestant Church, and their upright walk in life proves the sincerity of their faith. In politics, Mr. Lanham affiliates with the People's Party. He is much respected by his neighbors, and his family enjoy a large share of this respect. Mrs. Lanham has three brothers who served in the late war as follows: Robert was killed at Kennesaw Mountain, William served without injury until the close of the war, Franklin, lost the fingers of his right hand. All three were in the 40th Indiana Volunteer Infantry."

October 1899, West Virginia; d. 1925. Notes for ERNEST CHARLES TURLEY: Named as Charles Ernest Turley in Providence Church cemetary, but as E. Charles Turley, son of George and Arizona in 1900 census. Since the cemetary contains: TURLEY Charles Ernest b 1899 d 1925 TURLEY George Frederick (Husband) b 1870 d 1915 TURLEY Arizona Jordan (Wife) b 1871 d 1920 TURLEY Beniah Hutchins on (Husband b 1847 d 1932 TURLEY Sarah Ann Wright (Wife) b 1840 d 1916 it seems probable that E. Charles Turley and Charles Ernest Turley are the same son. A death certificate from WV Vital Records shows a Charles Ernest Turley, single, occ: farmer, d. Aug 9, 1925, buried in WInfield, WV Aug 11, 1925. Death location was the state hospital in Spencer, Roane County, with Typhoid fever as the cause. Undertaker: Vandale Undertaking, Spencer, WV. The attending physician stated he had attended the deceased from Apr 24, 1923 thru Aug 9, 1925. Note: The death year matches the headstone in Providence Church cemetery, as does the burial location of Winfield. But the parents, date of birth, birthplace and age are not listed. Note: A description of Spencer hospital at http://www.pa-roots.com/~roane/history/spencerstate.html says: "... Some of the disorders patients were admitted for were alcoholic excess, overwork, senility, hereditary insanity, worry, ill health, head injuries, syphilis, epilepsy, paralysis, morphia, cocaine use, cholera, disease of the uterus, pneumonia, bereavement, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and childbed fever. " So it looks likely that he caught typhoid and was sent there to be isolated.

More About RAYMOND LOUIS MELTON: Residence: December 01, 1960, Kirkland, Dekalb County, Illinois Notes for INEZ CHAPMAN: Genoa-Kingston-Kirkland News, June 2001: "Melton named Kirkland's Citizen of the Year" "Inez Melton still was absorbing the news of her selection as Kirkland's Citizen of the Year at the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce welcoming luncheon June 6. She kept looking around her in bemused wonder." "I really didn't expect this at all", Melton said. "I didn't find out about this until just last night, when my neighbors came over and told me. They wanted to be sure I came." Melton recently retired from working at the Kirkland Post Office for 29 and one half years and is a familiar face to almost everyone in Kirkland. Her neighbors are some of her biggest fans. "Long before she retired, she's been taking care of all of us, her neighbors", said Melton's next door neighbor, Arlene Myers. As she spoke, several of her other neighbors and family members nodded in agreement. "Shortly after we moved in to our house, Inez had a number of people at her house for a family event and some of them were sitting on her front porch", Myers continued. "These all were people I didn't know, of course, including Inez, because we had been busy moving in." "So I sent over and asked them who lived her, just to find out who my new neighbor was, and Inez said, 'I am'. We had a really nice chat and then I asked her what she did as far as working was concerned. She never said they worked at the post office but instead she told me, "I take care of my neighbors and she does exactly that." "If someone's sick in the neighborhood, she'll make a meal and take it over to them or she'll but a little top or an outfit for a little one somewhere or she'll run an errand for someone who can't make it out. She's always asking if she can pick up something for any of us when she goes to the grocery store. Inez is always doing thins like that. She's a real treasure." Scott Drexler, president of the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, said presenting the award to Melton was no surprise to him." "If ever there was anyone worthy of such an award, it's Inez", Drexler said. "She's shown she cares deeply for others and her family, friends and neighbors all attest to that. We're honored that she lives here in Kirkland." Melton received an engraved plaque from the chamber. "It's a nice plaque, but I really don't do things for recognition", she said. "If someone's in need, I'll help if I can." In spite of her retirement, Melton said she'll keep tending to her neighborhood. "It's not really work, you know, it's just a matter of caring for your neighbors", she said. "Besides, why wouldn't you?" More About RAYMOND MELTON and INEZ CHAPMAN: Marriage: April 23, 1955, Dekalb County, Illinois Children of RAYMOND MELTON and INEZ CHAPMAN are: 98. i.
