Notes for Alpheus Terwilliger:
From Union Co. Biographies.

Alpheus Terwilleger, Deceased - As a builder of Union County and
a loyal and patriotic citizen, and a man of marked capabilities and
stanch moral qualities. We are constrained to mention the gentleman whose
name is at the head of this article, and we grant this memoir to his name
since he was richly deserving of the commendation and the esteem of all
his fellows, and it is with pleasure that we announce that he enjoyed the
same in generous measure.
In Hamilton County Ohio, our subject was born on April 8,
1824, being the son of Mathew and Cherlottie Terwileger, family of that
county, but later removing to Indiana, where the father died. Our subject
took active management of the home place after the father's death until
1855, when he came to Iowa and secured a farm for himself in Marion
county. There he remained until 1862, then sold his fine farm of three
hundred and sixty acres and removed to this valley, taking a homestead
two and one-half miles north of Summerville, on which place and one
other which he bought on Sand Ridge, he remained for seventeen years,
producing the fruits of the field and raising stock. He then removed to
the place where the widow now resides, in the edge of Elgin, having
eighty acres there and the other land in other parts of this county On
Oct 13, 1855, occurred the marriage of Mr Terwilleger and Miss Jan P:
daughter of John and Susannah (Berry) Lewis, in Marion county, Iowa. She
was born April 13, 1840, in Putham county, Indiana, her father being a
native of Kentucky and the mother of North Carolina. The father farmed in
Indiana, Iowa and Oregon, passing from his labors near Summerville, where
his mother died, They were members of the Methodist church and
Devoted to the faith of the Christian. The widow has been
a member of this church since she was thirteen years of age and the
strength of her faith has enabled her to bear the heavy burdens that have
been her lot. To our subject and his estimable wife, there were born the
following children; James, Margaret A, Sarah E, Johnis, Martha, Charlie,
Vadia and George. In 1979 and 1880 the terrible disease of diphtheria
settled in this happy family and from the fall to the spring carried off
the last five mentioned and they sleep now in the Cemetery at
Summerville. On August 20, 1899, the hand of death was again laid upon
the home, this time to snatch thence the father and husband and he too, is
buried in the cemetery at Summerville. He was the death of the noble and
upright man, and sincere mourning marked this event. Right nobly has the
widow borne this accumulated sorrow, bringing to her solace the right of
the Christian to ask his burden on one able to bear it and bind even the
broken heart. She is now spending her golden years in the home place and
is highly esteemed and beloved by all, having manifested the faith that
makes faithful and gracious in the prigrim walk.
