Following is a copy of Great-grandfather Joseph's obituary. There are numerous typographical errors which include dates, therefore I have made the following notes:
1) correct year of birth is 1849, not 1859.
"THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. August 25, 1921. "Joseph Larkin Wyatt".--Joseph Larkin Wyatt was born in St. Clair county, Missouri March 10, l859 and died at the home of his daughter near Knox, Iowa, August 20, 1921, age 72 years and 5 months.
Mr. Wyatt spent his youth and early manhood in Missouri, coming north at the age of 26 years. He made his home for two years in Cass county, Nebraska, coming to Fremont county in the year 1875.
On January 1, l877, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Hume and settled in his home five miles south of Thurman where he resided almost continuously until a few months ago when frequent illness caused him to give up active and industrious life. Although suffering at frequent intervals he was patient and uncomplaining to the end. Mr. Wyatt was an honest and upright citizen and was a friend to all who knew him and had not an enemy in the world. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, being converted and uniting with the church at Grand View in the year 1894. He lived a true Christian life until the Lord called him from his earthly home. He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, four children, seven grandchildren, one brother, Thomas R. of Gerster, Missouri, one sister, Mrs. Margaret Briggs of Oklahoma and numerous other relatives and friends. The children are Will and Ray of Sidney, George of Thurman, Mrs. Minnie Kuhns of near Knox. Jennie and little Joseph died in infancy.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Freedom church, conducted by Rev. Todd of Sidney. Interment in the Grand View Cemetery.The relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were William Gore and two daughters, Mrs. Ada Showater and Mrs. Enice Rankin of Tarkio, George Showater, wife and daughter of Rock Port, Edward Reynolds and Mrs. Ruby Mapes of Lincoln, Mrs. Charles Cole of Thurman and Mrs. Flossie Smith of Percival."

- Found Joseph on the 1870 MO Census as follows:
1870 Census, Henry County, Missouri.....Springfield township....page 351
shows a Joseph Wyatt, age 18 , farm laborer, born Mo. living with:
Joseph Delosier age 34, farmer
Millie [Jones]32, wife
Julia14daughter
James10son
John C.5son
Additional Notes:
Originally, when I found Thomas R. Wyatt on the 1860 MO Census, he was living with his aunt. But couldn't find father Samuel, brother Joseph, or sister Margaret on any index for MO for the year 1860. And forget 1850........I found Samuel on the 1840 MO (Rives Co prior to becoming Henry, then St. Clair Co) census, but of course that doesn't give much information other that 0-4, 5-9 etc age ranges......
I think the key is to find them on the 1850 & 1860 census. But at least now I know that Joseph was with his aunt & uncle and explains how he got to Oklahoma from MO prior to arriving in IA in 1875.Apparently the Joseph Delozier (Delosier) family moved to Oklahoma between 1871 & 1873 (Joseph DeLozier died in Chelsea, OK in 1910).
1860 MO Federal Census:
Joseph DeLosier age 26, farmer
Millie23
Julia3
James8/12
***Joseph L Wyatt not listed with this family in 1860
Still looking for Margaret in 1870. It appears Samuel & Mary were deceased by 1860 - see notes for Samuel Wyatt.
Found Margaret on the 1880 Missouri Census - married to Robert Allen Briggs with their two sons listed, James & Joseph - See Margaret's Notes for details.

Notes for Caroline Victoria Hume:
Ancestry.com:
Copy of great-grandmother Caroline's obituary:
"SIDNEY ARGUS-HERALD. October 17, l935.--"MRS. CAROLINE WYATT": Caroline B. Hume was born near Thurman October 16, l859. She was the daughter of Joel and Nancy Hume. At the place of her birth she grew to womanhood, lived on the farm, and attended the Brightside country school. In this same schoolhouse she attended Sunday school and church. Later, when the Freedom Presbyterian church was built she became a member there.
She was married on January 1, l877, to Joseph L. Wyatt. Her companion died August 20, l921, and though much alone and lonesome during the years of her widowhood, Mrs. Wyatt kept the faith unto the end. Two children were taken from her home by death in infancy. They were Jennie and Joseph. Four other children are yet living: Will of Sidney, Mrs. Minnie Kuhns of Thurman, George T. and Ray R. of Sidney.
Of her brothers and sisters there are the following: Mrs. Melissie Holms of Alva, Oklahoma; Mrs. Eliza Goar (sic) of Wellington, Kansas; John Hume of Alva, Oklahoma; George Hume and Grenville Hume of Pullman, Washington; Edward Hume of Haywarden, Montana. There are ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren and nine great-great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews. Mrs. Wyatt had been in declining health for the past two years. Her last serious illness was of six weeks duration. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Kuhns, October 8, 1935, at the age of 75 years, 11 months and 22 days.Funeral services at the Methodist Church Thursday, October 10, the pastor, Rev. C.M. Corrie, officiating. Burial in Grandview."
There are typographical errors:
1) Caroline's middle initial is 'V' for Victoria, not 'B'
2) Mrs. Eliza Goar - correct spelling on the last name is Gore

Notes for Joseph Wyatt: Ancestry.com: 'Little Joseph' is mentioned in my great-grandfather's (Joseph Larkin Wyatt) obituary, and again in my great-grandmother Caroline's obituary. I suspected there was another child as one of the census records lists 'no of live births' and I was one off. I have checked the Grandview cemetery records (Joseph, Caroline, Robert Ray, and Jennie Maud are buried here), and do not see any indications that 'Little Joseph' is buried with the family. |
