Notes for JOHANN NICHOLAS EISENHAUER: The name Eisenhauer means iron hewer and family legends describe their ancestors as having been armored warriors in a medieval 'German' army. All ties to the military ended in the 16th century, when they became followers of Menno Simons, the founder of the Mennonite movement. In the 17th century, during the Thirty Years' War, the Eisenhower forebears fled the Palatinate of Bavaria fro Switzerland to excape religious persecution. Later they moved on to Holland and then on to the New World. On November 20, 1741, Hans Nicol Eisenhauer and his sons took the oath of allegiance to the British colony in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania which had been founded sixty years earlier by William Penn. They settled in a Mennonite communtiy that was later ended with them being called the River Brethren. It was on the Susquehanna River. Most of them were farmers. One son, Frederick was killed in the Revolutionary War. *Information from the book 'Ike and Mamie', by Lester & Irene David. Children of ANNA STRUBLE and JOHANN EISENHAUER are: i.

JOHANN DIETRICH4 STRUBLE (ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born May 15, 1714 in Albig, Rhein-Hessen, Province, and died May 15, 1807 in West Branch, Union Co., PA. He married ELIZABETH CATHERINE PFORT April 21, 1739 in Odernheim, Germany, daughter of JOHANN PFORT and ANNA HAAS. She was born Bet. September 1707 - 1717 in Odernheim, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany, and died 1807 in West Branch, Union Co., Pennsylvania. Notes for JOHANN DIETRICH STRUBLE: He may have been born in Albig, Rhein-Hessen, Province, [Germany] [Evangelische Kirchengemeinde, Albig, Landkreis Alzey, Pfarramt, p. 73] or Strassburg, Alsace, Germany He was a stonemason. He was the chief builder of the Reformed Church at Oderheim, Rhineland Pfalz. The church was dedicated in 1739 and his wedding was the first to be performed in the new church. After the family arrived in Philadelphia, he worked for William Allen for whom Allentown was named, as a stonemason. About 1752, he came to Newton, which is now Hampton Township, NJ. He purchased 310 acres for 166 pounds from William Allen on the 17th of December 1770. The farm was part of the Budd Tract and was in the Upper German Valley of New Jersey. Johann Dietrich was an elder of the Reformed church in the German Valley, which was built in part by him. ****************************************************************************** Author: Harry Smith Date: 18 Apr 2005 In Reply to: Where was "German Valley" by: Marianne German Valley was an early German settlement on the South Branch of the Raritan River in Morris County, New Jersey. During World War I, there was so much hatred generated by Government wartime propaganda against Germans that, for their protection against vandalism, the town changed its name to its present name of Long Valley. The town is in Washington Township, Morris County, about 6 miles south of Hackettstown. ****************************************************************************** From the DAR Patriot Index Pt 3 page 2842, we find Dietrich born March 15, 1714 GR d.c. 1807-14 PA married Elizabeth Pfort and listed as PS, NJ Books with info on this family: History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey by James P.

Chambers - Northwestern New Jersey, by A. Van Doren Honeyman - The church register of the Odernheim Reformed Church had information that was obtained by Mr. Frederick Langford of Pasadena, California. Much of the information on the Strubles was taken from material from Frederick Langford of Pasadena, CA. Some information is from the 1830 and 1840 census of Sussex Co., New Jersey. They arrived from Rotterdam, Holland on 5 Sept. 1748. About 1752 he pitched his camp on Smith’s Hill in the old township of Newton, now Hampton township of Sussex County, New Jersey. According to Snell’s history of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey, that the ruins of the old log house in which Dietrich lived were said to be yet visible in 1881. http://www.bouwman.com/sheckler/Struble.html Johann Deitrich Struble, by Robert M. Struble From Robert M. Struble's book: Conrad Struble Line- Family of Jacob Deitrich Struble was born in Albig, Rheinhessen, German, on May 15, 1714, the son of Andreas and Anna M. Gruber Strubel. His occupation was that of a stone mason. He was the chief builder or contractor in the building of the Odernheim Refore Church of Oderhhiem [word written in here I can not make out, Anita McNamer Struble] Rheinland, Pfalz, Germany. This church was finished and dedicated in the year 1739 and his wedding to Elizabeth Catherina Pfort, daugher of Johann Nicholas and Maria Angelica Haas Pfort on April 21, 1739 was the first held in the new church building. He was not of this town, but, he with his wife and their first four children remained there until coming to America. The family sailed from Rotterdam, Holland and arrived at the Port of Philadelphia, Pa. on September 5, 1748, on the ship "Edinburgh." The ship's master was Captain James Russell. Deitrich remained in or near Philadelphia for sometime and he worked for William Allen (for whom Allentown, Pa. and New Jersey were named) as a stone mason. About 1752 he pitched his camp on Smith's Hill in the old township of Newton, now Hampton township of Sussex County, New Jersey. According to Snell's History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey, the ruins of the old log house in which Deitrich lived, were said to be yet visible in 1881. William Allen owned extensive land in northwestern New Jersey, from whom Deitrich purchased310 acres for 166 pounds on December 17, 1770. This farm was a part of the Budd Tract and was located in the Upper German Valley near Bartleyville, New Jersey. Deitrich was an Elder in the German Valley Reformed Church. Which was built in part by him. On January 9, 1769, Deitrich was one of the witnesses of the will by Noriis Allback, of Roxbury, Morris County, New Jersey. Deitrich and his wife Elizabeth were Baptism Sponsors for Elizabeth, daugher of Conrad and Anna Maria Risch on May 17, 1772 at the Zion Church in New Germantown, New Jersey. According to W. M. Msunsell's "History of Morris County, N. J." page 386 shows articles of agreement that were drawn up and signed by the representitives of the two churches. "Whereas we the members of the Evangelical Luthern Congregation, who by reason of the preaching which we have with Germantown, who by reason of the money expended for the church and parsonage house are members of Zion's Church, lving in the Dutch Valley, Roxbury township, Morris County, are willing to build a meeting house jointly: Be it hereby know to all men that the following conditions are agreed to by the subscribers, representy both congregations, vis.: I. Both parties have agreed to build the meeting house at their united expense so that none of the parties may throw up anything to the other. II. As the church is built jointly, so it shall be kept by our posterity jointly. The friendship of both congregations giving us hope that in case of the necessary repairs of the meeting-house the weaker party will be supported by the stronger. III. Both parties with respect to public worship shall have an equal right; in case preachers should meet together, then alternately the one must wait till twelve o'clock on the service of the other. IV. For the good of both congregations none shall be permitted but such as are under a regular church government. V. Whereas, we do not only concern ourselves for ourselves, but for our posterity also, it is our will and opinion that none of the parties shall or can sell their right in any way or manner. Acted the 4th day of February 1784, which is testified to by Fredrick Dalliker, V.D.M., Henry Mullenberg, Jr., Deputy Rector of Zion's corporation; Wilhem Welsch, Deidric Strubel, Conrad Rorick, Caspar Anthon Waldorf, Adam Lorenz, Philip Weise, Christopher Karn, Leonard Neighbor, Roulof Roulofson, John Schwackhammer, Andrew Flucky." Deitrich removed to Northunberland County. Pennsylvania along with his sons Adam, Conrad, George and John. OnOctober 5, 1784 he acquired, by patent conveyed to him by the State of Pennsylvania, two hundred sixty six and one half acres. Five years later, on March 26, 1789 an agreement between Deitrich and his four sons was drawn for the purpose of conveying title of the plantation, "Struble's Delight" to the sons for consideration of L300 and for the agreement of the sons to care for Deitrich and Elizabeth in their old age. The deed for this transaction was drawn April 11, 1789. Northumberland County tax record show that Deitrich paid taxes on 566 1/2 acres. During 1795 & 1796 sons George and John sold their shares to Adam and Conrad with whom Deitrich and Elizabeth remained for the rest of their lives. Elizabeth was alive in 1789 when the above agreement was made, but was not living according to the 1790 census. This should place her time of death either late 1789 or early 1790. There is a questtion as to Elizabeths age and the bearing of children into her sixties. The following is a reasonable explanation: In some writtings, Deitrich was known as Peter or Peter Deitrich. It is possible that one of Deitrich's younger brothers, Peter (more than likely), Joachim, Johann or Matthias also immigrated to America, although no immigration records prove this, and died, leaving John, George and Pegga?, who were possibly adopted or raised by Dietrich. Deitrich did refer to John and George as his sons in the 1789 agreement. The limit for bearing children, as I have been able to find out, is fifty-two. Freidrick Langford was able to obtain the records in Germany concerning Deitrich's immigration to America, the sale of his property, permits, taxes, in fact, the complete schedule of events Deitrich went through as well as the other families of the area, that came to America in that particular group. When obtained, this information will be recorded. Deitrich was supposed to have live to the age of 101 years. No proof of this has been located as of this writing. Some Struble researchers believe this is not factual because the will of Deitrich's son Johann Peter, dated June 19, 1810, stated that Deitrich was already deceased. A portion of the will is as follows. (The original will states "late" father Deitrich", thus makeing Deitrich at the most, 96 years old. note by Robert M. Struble.) "366 NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS 1810, June 19, Strubel, Peter, Sr., of Newton Twsp., Sussex Co., farrier: will of wife, Eve, to have maintence while my widow; the home I live in and household furnishings, use of barn and stables, with firewood brought to her door by my son, Jacob, the house where he lives in on homestead farm, with 1/2 acre adjoining for a garden; this in addition to his share.

His grave is located in the Pontius Family Cemetery in Union County, Pennsylvania, being located about 1 1/2 miles southeast of Mifflinburg. But no headstone could be found, only his son Conrad's. However, about a dozen of the headstones wereworn and show no inscriptions.Through writings of David Galloway Struble in 1902, a visit to the Pontius Cemetery with long time resident of the area, Mr. John Lincoln, locates Deitrich's grave as beside the stone of Conrad. *note by Anita McNamer Struble.

He married (1) CATHERINE. He married (2) MARGARET LONGCORE Abt. 1767, daughter of ANTHONY LONGCORE and SUSAN LANCE. She was born 1742 in Holland or Germany?, and died 1822. Notes for JOHANNES LEONARD STRUBLE: He was said to have spoken three languages. He settled on a farm at Myrtle Grove, Sussex Co., NJ. He was a man of considerable influence in the community. After his marriage Leonard Struble lettled on a farm on Smith's Hill, but later purchased a farm at Mrytle Grove, in Newton township, where he continued to reside until his death in 1805. He became a quite large real estate owner and left a good competency for his family. He belonged to the Jefferson school of politics, and although no seeker after position, was chosen as collector, which position he filled for several years. He was one of the early members of the Presbyterian Church at Newton, and a promoter of benevolent and charitable interests. He is said to have been a man of general information on the current topics of the times in which he lived. Information on this line is not very well documented. David Galloway Struble never published his work and died in 1935. His son made available in 1972 photo-copies of his manuscript. He records no source-reference for his data. He was eight when his parents came to America. He was born February 16, 1741 according to Frederick Langford's German research.

JOHANN PETER5 STRUBLE (JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born March 23, 1746/47 in Odernheim, Rhein-Hesse, Germany, and died June 1810 in Hampton Twp., Sussex Co., New Jersey. He married EVA WEAVER 1767 in Newton, New Jersey, daughter of WEBBER WEAVER and UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1751, and died July 11, 1824 in Trumbull Co., Ohio. Notes for JOHANN PETER STRUBLE: Peter was a blacksmith. He was supposed to have settled in Hampton Township. Some say he was a Revolutionary soldier. He was quite a large land owner. In his will, it said, "In the name of God---etc., after paying my debts, ---the sale of real estate shall be paid to my children in proportions of two shares to a son and one share to a daughter. Second it is in my will that my ---wife shall have a comfortable life out of the profits of the sale of my real estate during her natural life or while she remains my widow. She may retain in her hand of my real estate to keep the house where I now live and so much of the barn and stables as she stand in need of, and have a sufficiency of firewook hauled to her house and cut up at the door by my son Jacob. She shall have and receive one half of the property of the household of the homestead farm, which my son, Jacob and myself have and now working together, all of which is my will, "She shall have and receive in lieu of her dower so long as she remains my widow. Etc. The will was probated Aug. 2, 1810. He was born March 23, 1747. *Langford is the source. Dietrich removed to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania along with four of his sons Adam, Conrad, George and John. On October 5, 1784 he acquired, by patent conveyed to him by the State of Pennsylvania, two hundred sixty six and one half acres. Five years later, on March 26, 1789 an agreement between Dietrich and his four sons was drawn for the purpose of Conveying title to the plantation Struble’s Delight to the sons for consideration of L300 and for the agreement of the Sons to care for Dietrich and Elizabeth in their old age. The deed for this transaction was drawn April 11, 1789. Northumberland County tax record show that Dietrich paid taxes on 566-1/2 acres. During 1795 & 1796 sons George and John sold their shares to Adam and Conrad with whom Dietrich and Elizabeth remained for the rest of their lives. Elizabeth was alive in 1789 when the above agreement was made but was not living according to the 1790 census. This should place her time of death either late 1789 or early 1790. There is a question as to Elizabeth’s age and the bearing of children into her sixties. The following is a reasonable explanation: In some writings, Dietrich was known as Peter or Peter Dietrich. It is possible that one of Dietrich’s younger brothers Peter (more than likely), Joachim, Johann or Matthias also immigrated to America, although no immigration records prove this, and died leaving John, George and Pegga, who were possibly adopted or raised by Dietrich. Dietrich did refer to John and George as his sons in the 1789 agreement. The limit for bearing children, as I have been able to find out, is fifty two. Frederick Langford was able to obtain the records in Germany concerning Dietrich’s emmigration to America, the sale of his property, permits, taxes, in fact, the complete schedule of events Dietrich went through as well as the other families, of the area, that came to America in that particular group. When obtained, this information will be recorded. Dietrich was suppose to have lived to the age of 101 years. No proof of this has been located as of this writing. Some Struble researchers believe this is not factual be­cause the will of Dietrich’s son Johann Peter dated June 19, 1810 stated that Dietrich was already deceased. A portion of the will is as follows: 366NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS 1810,June19,Struble,Peter,Sr.*, of: Newton Twp., Sussex Co., farrier; will of.Wife,Eve,to have maintenance while my widow, the house I live in and household furnishings, use of barn and stables, with firewood brought to her door by my son Jacob; also ½ profits of farm which my son Jacob and myself are now working, all this in lieu of dower.Son, Jacob, the house he lives in on homestead farm, with ½ acre adjoining for garden; this addition to his share.To said son Jacob and son, Peter, all residue of property, it being 260 ares, as tenants in common they to pay following bequests; to sons, Henry and George, $1,000 each; son John $750; daughter Mary (Wife of Philip Waldorf); and youngest daughter, Elizabeth Struble, $500 each.My share of the estate of my LATE** father, Dietrich Struble and residue of my own estate to be divided equally between my live sons two daughters, as above.Executors wife, Eve*, son, Jacob , and son-in-law, Philip Waldorf.Witnesses—John Van Doren,James Mattison,Peter Smith.Proved Aug. 2, 1810. 1810 July 30.Inventory $753.74 made by Benjamin Griggs, Samuel Griggs Jr. File1249 S.* Signed by mark. ** Word added by Robert Struble – The original will states “Late father Deiterich” thus making Dietrich at the most 96 years old. His grave is located in the Pontius family cemetery in Union County, Pennsylvania, being located about l-1/2 ­miles southeast of Mifflinburg. But no headstone could be found, only his son Conrad’s. However, about a dozen of the headstones are worn and show no inscriptions. Through writings of David Galloway Struble in 1902, a visit to the Pontius Cemetery with long time resident of the area, Mr. John Lineln[?], locates Dietricht's grave as beside the stone of Conrad.

Notes for JOHN HENDERSHOT: Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 07:24:18 -0500 From: "kirswill" Subject: [NJSUSSEX] Captain James. S. McDanolds One of many veterans to honor this Veteran's Day - >From the Sussex Independent of August 9, 1889: DEATH OF CAPT. McDANOLDS Captain James. S. M'Danolds, of Branchville, dies suddenly on Thursday morning at his home, after a very brief illness -- one of the bravest soldiers Sussex ever produced -- a sketch of his military and civil life -- for twelve years state librarian of New Jersey -- a death that is universally regretted. Captain James S. McDanolds, the postmaster at Branchville, died suddenly at four o'clock this (Thursday) morning, at his late home, in the above village. The announcement of his death was a great shock to his many relatives and friends, and cast a gloom over the entire community. His death has been the general topic of the village and surrounding country, since it occurred. He was noticed around the village as usual up to about five o'clock on Wednesday evening, although suffering terribly from his old enemy, neuralgia, which broke out fresh early Wednesday morning. His pain seemed to increase gradually until the time of his death. Hardly a day of his life since the close of the war, has he been free from pain and suffering, although he never complained. JAMES STRUBLE MCDANOLDS was born in the village of Branchville, July 11, 1841. He was educated in the public school at Branchville, and the Harford Academy, Harford, Pa., which was conducted by the Rev. Edward Allan, father of Dr. Allan, of Lafayette. After leaving school he clerked for a time in the store of his brother, John S., at Swartswood. Soon after this he went to Horseheads, N.Y., where he clerked for a time in the store of his brother Israel. When the war broke out he returned to Branchville. HIS MILITARY LIFE. No braver soldier ever entered the ranks than Captain McDanolds. He was a most courageous and plucky man, but naturally very quiet, reticent, and unassuming in demeanor. His military life began on the 20th of September, 1861, at which time he enlisted in the Seventh Regt. of New Jersey Volunteers, under Colonel Joseph Bevere. With this organization he remained until the 15th of August, 1862, when he was commissioned Second Lieutenant, and assigned to Comany D. in the 15th Regiment, one of the greatest fighting Regiments in the Rebellion. In March, 1863, he was promoted to be First Lieutenant, and in March 1864, to be Captain--his successive advances being the reward of faithful and most efficient service. Two months latter, (May 12th) his career in the army was cut short, at the battle of Spotsylvania, Va., where he was terribly wounded by rebel bullets. He was along the front lines, leading his Company in a running attack upon the rebel breastworks, when a rebel bullet entered his mouth, terribly lascerating his chin and under jaw. Notwithstanding this he pressed bravely on, urging his men with all the power left him, until he was completely mowed down with rebel bullets, his left leg, between the knee and ankle being almost completely shattered, while his left leg was pierced with bullets. While prostrated he called to a companion to carry him off the field. After spending four months in the hospital where his right leg was amputated, and where he hovered between life and death, he was (December 15th, 1864,) honorably discharged from the service. Up to the time of his discharge, he had taken part in all the hard fighting in which both regiments--during his respective connection with them--had been engaged, and his army record was most thoroughly creditable to his patriotism and soldierly ability. IN CIVIL LIFE. Soon after his discharge from the army he opened a general store in Branchville, and was employed in mercantile affairs until the fall of 1871, when he was appointed an officer in the registery department of the New York Post Office. Still retaining his residence in New Jersey, he discharged the duties of this responsible position until March, 1872, when he was appointed State Librarian of New Jersey. He was well fitted, by his clerical training, for an office of this sort. His management of the Library was of the most satisfactory character, and his ability was acknowledged by Gov. McClellan by his reappointment in January 1876 for a further term of three years. He served in the position for twelve years in a most creditable manner to all, but was removed by Governor Abbott to make room for Morry Hamilton, the present incumbent, for certainly nothing unless for political purpose. In politics, Captain McDanolds was an earnest Republican. Soon after ending his service as State Librarian, he removed to his native town of Branchville, and since that time has been engaged in various local pursuits. Four years ago he was the Republican candidate for State Senator. During a part of the Arthur administration he was Deputy Postmaster. At the time of his death he was Town Clerk of Frankford, and was appointed Postmaster of the village by President Harrison in May last. He had few, if any anemies, and was a man universally respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He had many friends and acquaintances in all parts of the State. While in Trenton, he was a member of Captain Wilkes Post, G. A. R. On removing to Branchville he was one of the active spirits in the organization of Captain Walker Post, became a member and active worker for the interests of that organization. He was married Jan. 1, 1866, to Frances, daughter of Mr. John Hendershot, of Swartswood, who, with four children, all grown, survive him. His brothers are John S., and Judge William McDanolds, of Branchville, and ex-Surrogate Henry McDanolds, of Passaic. THE FUNERAL. The funeral will occur on Sunday next at one o'clock. The ceremonies will be in charge of Captain Wilkes Post. Captain Wilkes Post, of Trenton; Comapny G, of Newton, and Chaplain Haines, of Hamburgh, who was Captain of the 15th Regiment, have been invited, and will undoubtedly be present. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following week's paper had another story on McDanolds with an account of the funeral.

Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Family Bible Finds Its Way Home By Anita Clayton in Port Republic, New Jersey In June I received an e-mail from Jack DAVIS of Pennington, New Jersey, that made me hyperventilate with excitement. He said he had found a December 11, 2000 posting of mine at RootsWeb. The message was one I had put on the NJMonmou-L (Monmouth County, New Jersey) mailing list and mentioned my 3-great-grandmother Mary Ann CONK (born 1803) and her husband Hezekiah AYRES (born 1797), who lived near Crosswicks, near the border of Burlington and Mercer counties, in New Jersey and also Mary Ann's parents John CONK and Sarah RICHMOND, who lived in Howell, Monmouth County, New Jersey. He wrote, "Over the weekend I purchased a small family Bible from the 1860s in a box lot at an auction near Crosswicks. It is Mary Ann (CONK) AYRES' Bible, and lists her children (with birth dates), and also mentions that she is the daughter of John and Sarah CONK." He had done a Google search on AYRES and CONK and found my old message in archives for the list. All the details fit. "If you're interested in having it, I'd be happy to mail it to you in the next week or two." Well, of course I was interested. He continued, "I don't want anything for it -- I paid very little and it would be fun to reunite it with a family member, especially since I'm also interested in genealogy." A couple of weeks later I went to Trenton and met him on the front steps of the New Jersey State Archives, which is near his job. He handed me the small worn, but well-preserved Bible that had been given to my 3- great-grandmother more than 150 years ago. Isn't that exciting? Thanks Jack and RootsWeb! 3.

ADAM6 STRUBLE (ADAM5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1780. He married CATHARINE CLOSE. Notes for ADAM STRUBLE: ADAM STRUBLE son of Dietrich Struble (1714-1807) was born about 1757, where is not certainly known. Removed to Buffalo Valley, Pa. and settled on a farm adjoining his brother’s (Conrad). He married ____ Hawn. He died Oct. 14, 1814. He is buried in the old “Pontius” Cemetery. Children were: 1. ADAM( 2 ), 2 . Jacob, 3. Peter, 4. John, 5. Mary (Polly) married David Morrison, 6. Elizabeth (Betsy) married David Lutz, 7. Catharine (Katy) married David Homiler, 8. George married Nancy Reedy. ADAM( 2 ) was born in Pa. where he lived and died. His homestead was in Mercer Co. Married Catharine Close and is said to have been killed by the kick of a horse. Children were: 1. Leonard married Judith and lives in Clarksville, Pa., 2. Jonathan married Rebecca Long, 3. Daniel married Catharine Adamson, 4. Levi, 5. ADAM( 3 ) (the following children were listed as children of Adam, but as grandchildren of Conrad) Julian married Stall, Kansas Mary married McCreary, Kan. Lydia married Sheckler, Pa. ADAM( 3 ) married Susanna Sheckler(daughter of Adam Sheckler, sister to Conrad Sheckler): Children were: 1. Leander, 2. Franklin P. married Hannah Gertrude Sweet, 3. Lydia Ann married Hutchinson Cavitt, 4. Mary Alice married Chas. M.Chambers 5. Emma Jane married George W. Willard, 6. William Sherman married Josephine M. Arrandale In 1902, David Galloway Struble visited the cemetery on the farm of Mr. John Pontius about 1-1/2 miles east and south of Mifflinburg, Union County, PA. The cemetery is about 30-35 feet square and is in the midst of a wheat field and about 200 yards from the highway. The land from the top of “Limestone Ridge” slopes gently toward the north until it nears the highway when it reaches a level. I soon found the graves by reason of the tombstone standing at the head of Conrad’s which bears the following inscription: ”Conrad Strublo, born Nov.l, l759. died. Feb.19,1837 aged 77 years 3 months 19 days.” It is in the extreme N.W. corner of the cemetery. Mr. John Lincoln, cashier of the Mifflinburg bank, had at my request visited this cemetery about a year ago and. in a letter to me describing the same he stated that the stone bearing the name of Conrad. Strublo had some time fallen down and had been evidently picked up and placed against the fence where it then stood. Having this in mind I was of the same impression when I first saw the stone, but wishing to see if I could. not find a base into which the stone would. fit and. ..ontLfy the ~r&ve, ~ undertook to move the slab when thoretir id to my surprise I found the lower end. firmly imbedded in the earth and a further examination convinced me that it was in the original position except that it had settled so us to lean backward and touch the fence, however I found there was the stump of a large wild cherry tree almost covering the grave, if the stone really was at the head of it, and this again raised a doubt. By beating down the grass and very carefully examining the ground. I concluded there were originally 3 graves there, side by side, but the slight mounds which I at first thought represented the graves I found were really spaces between them, and that the depressions were the graves. This I discovered by finding good sized fragments of the stone slabs or “markers” which are still there, scarcely above the ground. In fact I bad to scratch away them. Even then the presence of the large stump made me feel grass, leaves and over quite a surface before I could discover doubtful. After examining the entire cemetery with great care, I made a few exposures with the camera and then proceeded to interview Mr. Pontius before mentioned. He assured me that the stone bearing Conrad’s name was in its proper place and had never been moved at anytime. He further stated that he was present when Conrad was buried and well remembered the fact: that the stump was that of a wild cherry which had grown up after Conrad was buried in spite of the fact that it was so large, and further that it was his understanding at that time, and he firmly believes that the adjoining graves are those of his brother and father, and he further stated that Conrad and Adam lived beside each other, the farm of Mr. Musser, which is really in sight of the cemetery being the home of Conrad at the time of his death. These things he knows from personal acquaintance with Conrad and from know1edge derived from conversation with his own(Pontius) father, many years ago, the farm having been continuously in their family for more than 125 years. From the abovo it seems plain that the “Adam Sheckler” farm which lies not very far from Buffalo Cross Roads, while owned by Conrad was not his home at the time of his death, and indeed never was. It came to Elizaboth Strublo, wife of Sheckler, at the death of her father as her portion of his estate. Conrad’s wife died in 1854, nearly 80 years of ago and is buried in the cemetery. at Buffalo Cross Roads. Had Conrad lived on the Sheckler farm, he undoubtedly would have been buried there as it was quite nearby and had been existence as a cemetery for a long time prior to his death. His wife however appears to have been living with her daughter Elizabeth, Sheck1ers wife, either temporarily or permanently at the time of her death, and that accounts for her being buried at Buffalo Cross Roads in part, at least, and the fact that burials in private cemeteries had also been largely discontinued at that date, furnishes an additional reason. This also accounts for Dietrich’s old. family bible being in the hands of the Sheckler family. Conrad no doubt had it at his death when it naturally became the property of his wife. She living with her daughter Elizabeth in her later years and dying there, it came into the possession of the daughter either as a gift from the mother or by reason of her dying at her house. At her death it went into the possession of her son, Conrad Sheckler and his death to his son, George H. in whose possession it now is. The tax rolls of Northumberland Co. show that Dietrich Struble paid taxes in 1781. on 300 acres and in 1784 on 566-½ acres. I applied to the Register and Recorder at Sunbury and he reports that he is unable to find any record of transfer of property from Dietrich or Richard Struble nor is there any will of his on record. http://www.bouwman.com/sheckler/Struble/Adam-Struble.html Children of ADAM STRUBLE and CATHARINE CLOSE are: i.

MARY POLLY6 STRUBLE (ADAM5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1780. She married (1) DAVID MORRISON. She married (2) DAVID MORRISON. Notes for DAVID MORRISON: I am not sure if this is the right David: Volume IV on the Morrison family: C. Arthur, Charles, Charles Wesley, David, Donald, Dorris, Lloyd - Page 66, Bio of C. Arthur Morrison C. ARTHUR MORRISON, former president of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, now gives most of his time to his duties as an officer in an automobile tire company. Mr. Morrison represents a pioneer family of Franklin County, and was born on his father's farm in Plain Township July 25, 1875, son of Charles Wesley and Loretta (Roberts) Morrison. His mother is till living in Ohio. His great-great-grandfather, David MORRISON, was one of three brothers who came from England in the army sent over by Great Britain to fight the colonies in their struggle for independence. David deserted and joined the colonists. His son, David Morrison, married Nancy MANN, of old Holland Dutch stock. The Manns were pioneers of Morristown, New Jersey, and Morristown was named from David Morrison, the first prominent settler. Grandfather David Morrison, on coming to Ohio, settled in Franklin County and developed the farm where is son Charles Wesley and his grandson, C. Arthur, were both born. Nancy Mann was also connected with the Oldham family, a family of the English nobility and identified with the early history of Morristown, New Jersey. In the maternal line Loretta Roberts is a descendant of Bear Roberts, who was a Colonial settler in New England, coming from England. Mr. Morrison had several ancestors in the American Revolution. Charles Wesley Morrison was a farmer in early life, and also a stage driver in the days before railroads. He drove one of the old-fashioned stage coaches on the route from Columbus to Mount Sterlin and from Columbus to Kirkersville. He finally left the farm and moved to Delaware, where he engaged in the undertaking business. He was a very active member and on the Offical Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was master of the Masonic Lodge at New Albany. C. Arthur Morrison was educated in public schools, attended high school, the Presbyterian Temple College and the Normal School at Reynoldsburg, Franklin County. At the age of nineteen he began teaching, a profession he followed for five years. Part of the time he was connected with the schools at New Albany and also with district schools. During the last three years he studied medicine under Doctor Gravina. >From the educational profession he joined his father in the undertaking business at Delaware in 1900. Mr. Morrison gave most of his time to the undertaking business until 1921. He is one of the best known funeral directors in the state. His activity in behalf of the profession brought him the distinction of being elected president in 1915 at the Funeral Directors Association. He made many speeches over the state and otherwise exercised his influence toward getting the Legislature to adopt revised and higher standards for embalmers and funeral directors. Mr. Morrison is treasurer and a director of Rainbow Tire and Rubber Company. This company owns license on a puncture proof inner tube which has been submitted to the most rigid tests and pronounced one the big things in the automobile world. The plant for manufacturing these tubes is located at Delaware, and the main offices of the company are in Columbus. October 22, 1902, in Delaware County, Mr. Morrison married Miss Gertrude L. Finch, daughter of Harmon and Mary A. (Ferguson) Finch, both Ohio people and now deceased. Her father was a farmer, and was a trustee and steward of the Methodist Church. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison have three sons and one daughter, Dorris, Charles, Donald and Lloyd. Dorris graduated from high school in 1923. The children are all musical in their tastes and talents, and derive these qualities in large part from their father, who in his younger days played an instrument in the bank and has always kept up his interest in musical matters. Caroline E. & Thomas J., Page 218 - Bio of Joel William Roberts JOEL WILLIAM ROBERTS. The practical man is the one who is forging ahead today in every line of endeavor. This is too busy an age to admit of theoretical experiments without the backing of sound experience. Those who are succeeding are those who understant their work, and the demands of the public, and how to meet the needs of their patrons. Especially is this true in those lines connected with electricity and automobiles, the two great developments of the twentieth century. One of the men of Youngstown who prepared himself for his business career in a practical way by actual experience is Joel Williams Roberts, of 232 East Boardman Street. Joel William Roberts was born at Hadley, Pennsylvania, January 20, 1885, a son of Robert R. and Lottie E. (Bailey) Roberts, natives of Hubbard, Ohio, who were married in Pennsylvania. Robert R. Roberts, of Welsh descent was a saw-mill operator, and died in May 1886. The mother subsequently married Frank P. Hibler, of Hubbard, Ohio, and is still living. >From the age of seven years until 1914, Joel William Roberts resided on a farm with his maternal grandparents, and in the latter year moved with them to Hubbard, Ohio, where the grandfather died March 19, 1923, but the grandmother is still living at Hubbard. The district schools gave Mr. Roberts his educational training, and farm work developed him physically and taught him the value of honest labor. His preliminary electrical experience was gained as an employe of the Miller-Smythe Electric Company of Youngstown, and after he had been three years with the concern he had charge of the automobile section. In November, 1922, he bought the automobile branch of the business, and has since been engaged in installing automobile electrical equipment, in which he is an acknowedged expert. In 1919 Mr. Roberts married Miss Caroline E. Morrison, born at Hadley, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Thomas J. and Irene (McKay) Morrison, natives of Pennsylvania. Mr. Roberts is a Methodist.

Margaret Strickland Walla Walla, Washington http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/O/OHTRUMBU+2001+133227643+F Notes for DAVID MORRISON: Andrea, Following is the information that appeared in Volume IV on the Morrison family: C. Arthur, Charles, Charles Wesley, David, Donald, Dorris, Lloyd - Page 66, Bio of C. Arthur Morrison C. ARTHUR MORRISON, former president of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, now gives most of his time to his duties as an officer in an automobile tire company. Mr. Morrison represents a pioneer family of Franklin County, and was born on his father's farm in Plain Township July 25, 1875, son of Charles Wesley and Loretta (Roberts) Morrison. His mother is still living in Ohio. His great-great-grandfather, David Morrison, was one of three brothers who came from England in the army sent over by Great Britain to fight the colonies in their struggle for independence. David deserted and joined the colonists. His son, David Morrison, married Nancy MANN, of old Holland Dutch stock. The Manns were pioneers of Morristown, New Jersey, and Morristown was named from David Morrison, the first prominent settler. Grandfather David Morrison, on coming to Ohio, settled in Franklin County and developed the farm where is son Charles Wesley and his grandson, C. Arthur, were both born. Nancy MANN was also connected with the Oldham family, a family of the English nobility and identified with the early history of Morristown, New Jersey. Mr. Morrison had several ancestors in the American Revolution. Charles Wesley Morrison was a farmer in early life, and also a stage driver in the days before railroads. He drove one of the old-fashioned stage coaches on the route from Columbus to Mount Sterlin and from Columbus to Kirkersville. He finally left the farm and moved to Delaware, where he engaged in the undertaking business. He was a very active member and on the Offical Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was master of the Masonic Lodge at New Albany. Child of MARY STRUBLE and DAVID MORRISON is: 70. i. SON7 MORRISON. 41. JACOB6 STRUBLE (CONRAD5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born Abt. 1784. He married MARY HOUSEL. Children of JACOB STRUBLE and MARY HOUSEL are: i. ELIZABETH7 STRUBLE, m. ADAM SHECKLER. ii. CONRAD STRUBLE, b. December 01, 1823. Notes for CONRAD STRUBLE: On December 11, 1823, Conrad was born in Union County, the son of Jacob** and Mary Housel Struble. In 1838, Jacob purchased 418 acres of land from Mr. John Norris in Walker Twp., Centre County just south of the town of Zion. This property was divided equally between himself and his brothers Daniel and Conrad, Jr. Being about fifteen years of age, Conrad assisted his father and his younger brother Isaac in the clearing of the land and the construction of the buildings. ** Jacob's sister, Elizabeth Struble, married Adam Sheckler, there by tying the Struble's to the Sheckler Family Jacob was the son of Conrad Struble 1759-1837, who was the son of Johann Diedrich Struble. (added by Vern, 2000). For the first summer all the water had to be carried from the mountain spring, of which Conrad’s mother Mary carried a good portion. During the winter of 1839-1840, Jacob and his sons bored pine logs to make pipe from the spring to the watering trough in the barnyard. The line then extended to Daniel’s farm and finally to Conrad Jr.’s farm. In times of drought or low water, the Conrad Struble farm could take all the water from the spring because of lower elevation. On October 8, 1846, Conrad married Miss Sarah Swartz, daughter of Henry and Juliann Swartz of Spring Twp. The Rev. John Tonner performed the ceremony. For a short period of time, Conrad farmed the Daniel Struble farm that was owned at that time by his father Jacob. Henry Swartz had purchased a farm just west of what is now State College (at this time it was known only as Ferguson Twp.) on November 25, 1844 from James Irvin which contained 179 acres for a. price of $1,800, not including the iron ore rights. On July 31, 1849, their son Calvin was born and, according to his obituary, was born on the Ferguson Twp. farm to which Conrad and Sarah recently moved. Tax records of 1850 show that Conrad and Sarah occupied the farm and the property was owned by H. Swartz. In 1857, Conrad and Sarah bought 20 acres of mountain land which included a cabin from Moses Thompson for $418.75 which was located just east of Pine Grove Mills along the west slope of the mountain. By this time, their Sons Andrew and Clayton had been born and Conrad was a very successful and well to do farmer. He was extremely well thought of in the area. On May 19, 1860 a fourth son Milton was born. One month later, June 20th, Sarah died probably from complications of the child birth. On August 26th, Milton died. Both are buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Pine Grove Mills. About 1862 Conrad married Miss Sarah Lavinia Mitchell, daughter of David and Sarah Ferguson Barron Mitchell of Pine Grove Mills. In 1864 they had a daughter Sarah Ferguson Mitchell Struble. Three years later another daughter Mary Belle was born. Conrad and Sarah Mitchell were among the organizers of the Washington Grange of Ferguson Twp. (later Washington Grange #157) in 1874. The building is located beside the American Legion property at Pine Hall. Conrad was Steward and Sarah was Ceres. Mary Bell and Sallie, the two daughters of Conrad and Sarah, were both nurses. Mary was a registered nurse and Sallie a practical nurse. Mary started to college at Penn State in 1887. In 1890 she Penn State to enter nurses training at Women’s hospital in Philadelphia where she graduated three years later. The map of Ferguson Twp. of 1874, which is included in this chapter, is incorrect in that it shows C. H. Streuble living in the tenant house and that I. Corl lives at the main farm. Conrad always lived in the main house and it is unknown who was living in the tenant house at this time. Conrad purchased the retained iron ore rights from James Linn, heir to James Irvin, on November 21, 1879 for $1,000 which enabled him to open the Struble Mines around 1880. This led Conrad to be one of the movers to extend the Bellefonte Central Railroad to Struble’s Station and on to Pine Grove Mills. Toward the end of August i886, the railroad began moving cars to the mine and westward to Tyrone. Thru letters written by Catherine B. Struble (wife of Conrad’s brother Isaiah) to her son Jacob B. Struble much of the following information has been extracted. In August of 1889 a portion of the ore washing equipment was on the mining site and not yet erected. Another letter of March 3, 1890 Catherine tells of a large pile of ore that a Mr. Shoemaker was anxious to buy as soon as he received a report of the iron content of the ore. It was noted the ore had a large amount of Flint content and that surface Ore was more saleable because it contained little or no flint. Lytle was living in Conrad’s tenant house. On May 11, 1890, a letter disclosed that the mine was producing 2.6 to 18 tons of ore per day, there was a total of 16 men working at the mine and wages all told ran $20 per day. Conrad’s son Andrew was in charge of the operation at the time and the machinery was working very smoothly since being repaired by Jacob Struble on his last visit to State College. There was 500 tons of ore on hand August 30, 1890 for which there was no sale at a price Conrad felt he should have so money was borrowed from his brother Joel to pay the last weeks wages to enable Conrad to continue operations. At this same time he was paying interest on monies he had borrowed from his brother Isaiah. About September 5, 1890 Albert Inlow, husband of Conrad’s daughter Sallie was seriously injured in an accident at the brickyard at State Col1ege which was located directly across the road from the Struble Mines. Albert had been running the engine and when that was finished the foreman told him he could finish the day digging with the rest of the men. Shortly there after a large piece of clay fell on him; the piece of clay was so heavy that four men couldn’t lift it from him so the other men had to break it with picks while laying on top of him. The accident damaged his kidneys and his lower limbs were paralyzed. On de~ September 13, Albert died and was buried September 17, 1890 in the a Presbyterian Cemetery at Pine Grove Mills. Albert had been conscious entire time and suffered terribly for over a week. Conrad had written. To Sallie nearly went wild but by the time of the funeral she had become quite calm. On October 12, 1890 Conrad wrote that “Sallie does much crying by day and nights on account of the bereavement” and Albert’s three brothers from Kansas were unable to attend the funeral. In a letter of October 15, 1890 Catherine was telling Jacob that Isaiah was paying the interest on the loan of $3,000 to $4,000 loaned to Conrad. From about this time on, Conrad had serious financial problems. Iron ore in this area was a low grade, which accounted for some of the problem, but another reason was the Conrad’s second wife supposedly spent money at a much faster rate than he could make it. This is according to Mary C. Struble, a niece of Conrad, being a daughter of Conrad’s brother Isaiah. Conrad was continuously borrowing money from Isaiah. Meanwhile, Conrad’s wife and her two daughters had taken several shopping trips to Philadelphia. All three dressed like millionaires and Mary res2nted this because during this time, they had to make do with much less, while her father’s money was buying fancy clothes for her cousins. Also, at this time, Mary Belle left Penn State for nurses training, probably related to the finances. Mary’s hostilities were more directed toward her Aunt Sallie (Sarah Mitchell Struble) and her cousin Sallie (Sarah Struble Inlow) than toward Mary Belle. In fact, Mary B~ and Mary C. kept in fairly close contact until Mary Belle died in 1924.. On Monday, January 26, 1891 Conrad lost his farm through a sheriff sale to Isaac Thomas, trustee of J. V. and L. P. Thomas. Conrad’s debt to them was recorded at $l2,480. C. 0. Templeton of Tyrone held a judgement note for $208.70 which also recorded against him. Soon afterward, Conrad moved west to Missouri but was not content and return to Centre County where he remained for the most part with his son Clayton who lived on the Meek farm about 2 miles west of Pine Grove Mills. He was known to be temporarily living with his son Andrew at W. 15th Street, Tyrone. Pa. in 1901. On May 1, 1902, his second wife Sarah died of consumption and was buried beside the Pine Grove Mills Presbyterian Church of which her parents were founding members. Conrad spent his remaining years with Clayton until his death on January 11, 1905. The summer preceding his death, at the age of 81 Years from ”stomach trouble” which was probably cancer. He was known to have followed a plow most of the summer. From: http://www.bouwman.com/sheckler/Struble/C-Struble.html 42.

Notes for JACOB FREDERICK EISENHAUER: He became a prosperous farmer and an influential minister. In 1854, he built a nine-room house near that town. It was to serve him as home and as a meeting place for his congregation. When the civil War ended and railroads began to penetrate the west, the pioneer spirit that was moving amongst the east coast, began to infect the farmers of the Pennsylvania valley. Members of the River Brethren began to insist on a mass migration and by the late 1870's, plans were underway. Jacob sold his property and took his four children, his wife and his 84 year old father, Frederick with him as he moved to Abliene, Kansas. There he purchased a 160 acre farm and rebuild the life he had left in Pennsylvania. He ministered to his flock on Sundays and worked the other six days a week on his farm.

McDanolds One of many veterans to honor this Veteran's Day - >From the Sussex Independent of August 9, 1889: DEATH OF CAPT. McDANOLDS Captain James. S. M'Danolds, of Branchville, dies suddenly on Thursday morning at his home, after a very brief illness -- one of the bravest soldiers Sussex ever produced -- a sketch of his military and civil life -- for twelve years state librarian of New Jersey -- a death that is universally regretted. Captain James S. McDanolds, the postmaster at Branchville, died suddenly at four o'clock this (Thursday) morning, at his late home, in the above village. The announcement of his death was a great shock to his many relatives and friends, and cast a gloom over the entire community. His death has been the general topic of the village and surrounding country, since it occurred. He was noticed around the village as usual up to about five o'clock on Wednesday evening, although suffering terribly from his old enemy, neuralgia, which broke out fresh early Wednesday morning. His pain seemed to increase gradually until the time of his death. Hardly a day of his life since the close of the war, has he been free from pain and suffering, although he never complained. JAMES STRUBLE MCDANOLDS was born in the village of Branchville, July 11, 1841. He was educated in the public school at Branchville, and the Harford Academy, Harford, Pa., which was conducted by the Rev. Edward Allan, father of Dr. Allan, of Lafayette. After leaving school he clerked for a time in the store of his brother, John S., at Swartswood. Soon after this he went to Horseheads, N.Y., where he clerked for a time in the store of his brother Israel. When the war broke out he returned to Branchville. HIS MILITARY LIFE. No braver soldier ever entered the ranks than Captain McDanolds. He was a most courageous and plucky man, but naturally very quiet, reticent, and unassuming in demeanor. His military life began on the 20th of September, 1861, at which time he enlisted in the Seventh Regt. of New Jersey Volunteers, under Colonel Joseph Bevere. IN CIVIL LIFE. Soon after his discharge from the army he opened a general store in Branchville, and was employed in mercantile affairs until the fall of 1871, when he was appointed an officer in the registery department of the New York Post Office. Still retaining his residence in New Jersey, he discharged the duties of this responsible position until March, 1872, when he was appointed State Librarian of New Jersey. He was well fitted, by his clerical training, for an office of this sort. His management of the Library was of the most satisfactory character, and his ability was acknowledged by Gov. McClellan by his reappointment in January 1876 for a further term of three years. ….. Soon after ending his service as State Librarian, he removed to his native town of Branchville, and since that time has been engaged in various local pursuits. Four years ago he was the Republican candidate for State Senator. During a part of the Arthur administration he was Deputy Postmaster. At the time of his death he was Town Clerk of Frankford, and was appointed Postmaster of the village by President Harrison in May last. He had few, if any enemies, and was a man universally respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He had many friends and acquaintances in all parts of the State. While in Trenton, he was a member of Captain Wilkes Post, G. A. R. On removing to Branchville he was one of the active spirits in the organization of Captain Walker Post, became a member and active worker for the interests of that organization. He was married Jan. 1, 1866, to Frances, daughter of Mr. John Hendershot, of Swartswood, who, with four children, all grown, survive him. His brothers are John S., and Judge William McDanolds, of Branchville, and ex-Surrogate Henry McDanolds, of Passaic. THE FUNERAL. The funeral will occur on Sunday next at one o'clock. The ceremonies will be in charge of Captain Wilkes Post. Captain Wilkes Post, of Trenton; Comapny G, of Newton, and Chaplain Haines, of Hamburgh, who was Captain of the 15th Regiment, have been invited, and will undoubtedly be present. Kirsten Saxe iii.

Notes for MARGARET STRUBLE: Much of the information on Margaret and Howell's children came from 'The Dodder Family Record' by Edith Gillespie. We don't know much about Margaret. Odd. LAPEER. Lapeer is situated in the southwest part of the county, near the headwaters of Rock Creek, on gently undulating prairie. The first settlements were made in the vicinity of 1855, by George Shobert, Peter Dodder, James Baker and Samuel Hays. The town was so named after a town of the same name in Michigan. The property they pioneered on in Kansas was near the place that they bought and gave to their daughter Elimira and Phillip called The Hill or Simmons Point. After Peter died, Robert and his wife Sarah lived on the old place. Si Dodder's place was on past this spot and past his place is where you would turn to go to Twin Mound. From the 'The Hill' Twin Mound was NW. To go to Lawrence from Twin Mound you turned north around the bend and the old Jenkins place, past the old stone schoolhouse called, 'Spunky Point" and went north through Clinton, crossed the Kaw [now a lake] and into Lawrence. She was 84 years, 7 months and 15 days.

He was born the year before the Lewis and Clark expedition began. His father died when he was 10 months old. He never told anyone about his four older sisters and 3 half sisters the (Willson's). He seems to have made up a story about being born in Germany. He wasn't. He pioneered in Addison Twn., near Leonard, Oakland County, Michigan in 1835/1837 then went on to pioneer in Douglas County, Kansas circa 1855-59. [Family all say 1855] His baptism is recorded in the Stillwater Presbyterian Church, Stillwater, NJ on June 22, 1803.

Andreas in "The History of Kansas", 1883. http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/ KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS William G. Cutler's [was first published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL.] He ran a restaurant for the Butterfield Stage stop. He had a run in with Jesse James. Grandpa Peter was resting on his porch when Jesse road up and told him to get up and get him a drink of water. He told him to get it himself. When they moved the family cemetery in order to build a road, his body was said to have turned to stone. He was a hard working, no nonsense man. Peter didn't like the route the stages took after they stopped to change teams and eat. Once, it was said, he took his gun from above the door and ambled out to stop them. As he approached the coach, he saw four guns aimed at him from inside and wisely decided to wait in pressing his claims. When the spring rains arrived, he listed ridges across the road and thus forced the drivers to change their route a short distance south to the Old Santa Fe Trail. DOUGLAS COUNTY, Part 38 -LAPEER.

Jacob Dodderer Will / Division of land Author: Tina Keppler Date: 9 Aug 2001 12:01 AM GMT Surnames: Dodder, Dodderer, Dudder Classification: Deed - In Reply to: Yellow Frame Church and Dodderer stones by: Tina Keppler There is so much here that it is going to get tricky to include all of the information. I have to go get a Corona before I start. (Yes, with lime). Okay, this is what I have here: Jacob Dodderer's will dated 2/22/1813. Wife Lydia was alive when the will was written...Main part of the estate goes to his granddaughter Elizabeth Lane (daughter of Jacob [not right...])..she gets 800 dollars. The remainder looks like it gets split in half between Abraham and the heirs of Henry Dodder. I have also Jacob Dodder's land division, where the land is divided between Abraham and the heirs of Henry...and then another land division where Henry's heirs divide the land. All very interesting! They also come complete with maps which I will scan in and attach to this e-mail. The children of Henry are Peter, Esther, Catharine, Lydia and Anne Marie (from what I can tell). The original parcel that was owned by Jacob Dodder in Hardwick was right on the Paulinskill River...the river cuts directly through the middle. There are two dwellings that I can see...One is right on the river and was the parcel given to Abraham along with 205 acres. The other parcel of land that went to the heirs of Henry was 270 acres and the dwelling was some distance from the river. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out where this was. I would say along the Paulinskill between Stillwater and Blairstown...not too far from the village of Stillwater...There used to be a road that ran along the river...but there are only pieces of it left today and you have to go by foot or horse. If you ever get up here, I will show you all of these sights. As for the other division...between the heirs of Henry, it looks like Peter got the most 72 acres or so...and the girls all got around 50 acres each...totalling the original 271 acres. I also have Jacob Dodder's inventory...totalling 535$ but the handwriting is hard to read. It can be done...and it is neat to see what he did own. I will leave it up to you to decifer this. I also have Henry Dodder's inventory...and he owned quite alot. Much more than his father...Was his wife Alice? That is the name on here with Abraham as the witness to the inventory. Total inventory valued at 686.69. Sounds like a great house! They had all of the colonial items that we all kill for today. You will love this! Next I have Abraham Dodder's inventory and accounting. This one is not so easy to read. If you come to town to do research, you can see the original books. I will have to notify the clerk that you are coming and she will retrieve the books out of storage. He also owned a ton of stuff... Lastly I have the court papers for the Orphans court..on behalf of Peter Dodder, son of Henry. Apparently he switched guardians almost immediately after being placed. He was first given into the custody of Enos Coursen May 1819. Later that year, Isaac Coursen is appointed his guardian. *Tina Keppler Enos died that year and that is why the custody was changed. Why was he is an orphan? Peter was born on April 30, 1803. His dad died when he 14 months old on February 20, 1804. His mother remarried John Willson in about 1805. He had three half sisters born to John Willson. He had four older sisters born to his father. His sisters: Esther Dodder m. John Roy Lydia Dodder m. Bowdewine Van Auken Catherine Dodder m.

WILLIAM TWIN7 STRUBLE (GEORGE PETER6, JOHANN PETER5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born June 16, 1814 in Stark Co., Ohio, and died December 24, 1893 in Fulton Co., Ohio. He married ELIZABETH DICKSON August 20, 1835. She was born May 18, 1816 in Washington Co., Pennsylvania, and died December 26, 1889. Notes for WILLIAM TWIN STRUBLE: His guardian at his father's death was Orenus Hart. William Struble was born in Brookfield Township, Trumbull County, Ohio June 16th 1814. At 14 years of age he learned the shoemakers trade which occupation he followed for several years. On August 20th 1835 he was united in marriage with Elizabeth Dickson: from which union there were ten children; eight of whom grew to man and womanhood. He came to the Maumee Valley in the full of 1846 at which time the struggle of his pioneer life began, he settled in the woods of what was then Henry County, soon South York Fulton County where he cleared and put under cultivation the farm on which he lived many years. With other pioneers he endured privations and hardships which would appall the hearts of the young men of today. With a large family and with no other income but from his daily labor, it required a heroic struggle to provide the necessaries of life. He often referred to the darkest days of his pioneer life when for two years himself and family prostrated the greater part of the time with that very coin man desires of early days - fever and ague but by patience, determination and hard work the obstacles were one by one overcome. He built and operated an ashery and made pearl ash which lightened the burden of debt in a very marked degree. While he could not be counted among the wealthy he acquired a competency which enabled him to live at ease when the infirmities of old age began to settle upon him. He was for many years previous to his death a member of the United Brethren Church; he served the township two or three terms as trustee. In 1881 he rented his farm to his son and moved to Wauseon where he lived until the death of his wife which occurred December 26th 1889. He spent one year with his son at the farm; returning at the end of that time to Wauseon where the last three years of his life was spent with another son. Sometime previous to his death he realized that his life work was over and often expressed a desire to join the companion who had shared his joys and sorrows for more than fifty years. He bore his sufferings with Christian patience and seemed only waiting for the summons which came December 24th 1893. "He was waiting for the morning of that blessed day to dawn when the sadness and the sorrow of this fearful life were gone. He was waiting, worn and weary, with the battle and the strife, hoping when the war was ended to receive a crown of life. Watching, hoping, and trusting, ever for a home of boundless love, Spike a pilgrim looking forward to the land of life above." http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=12290&id=I10858 Children of WILLIAM STRUBLE and ELIZABETH DICKSON are: i.

He was studying for an engineering career. He met Ida Elizabeth Stover at the start of his second term. Before the year was out, they were engaged. As a wedding present, Jacob Eisenhower gave them $2,000 cash and a 160 acre farm. But David morgaged the property and put all the money into a general store in the nearby village of Hope. It was in partnership with Milton D. Good. For a while, business was good. The family enjoyed an active social life. In November 1886, Ida gave birth to their first child, Arthur. By the fall of 1886, the store was in trouble. They had allowed their customers to run up large bills and so could not pay their own creditors. One night, Milton Good [not too Good huh?] slipped out of town and left the problems for David to deal with. He had to sell the store's assets to pay off its debts and then they left for Denison, Texas. There he got a job in the machine shop of the Cotton Belt Railroad at a salary of about $40 a month. Ida remained in Abilene until Edgar was born. Then her and the two boys took a train for Denison. David Dwight Eisenhower, the future President of the United States was born there on Oct. 14, 1890. David's brother in law offered him a job at the new Belle Springs Creamery plant in Abilene. For seven years they lived in a small house on South East Second Street in Abilene. In 1898, when Ike was eight, an uncle moved west and rented his larger home to the family. It was on South East Fourth Street. By then there were two more boys. Roy and Earl. Paul had died at three months of age. Then Milton was born in 1899. Ida loved the home and lived in it until her death in 1946 at the age of 84. David was said to have been introspective, gentle and dreamy. He was often melancholy. Ike's father- a River Brethren, Mennonites and pacifists Notes for IDA ELIZABETH STOVER: She descended from a family that also had left Germany to avoid religious hatreds. Comely and vivacious, she attracted David Eisenhower immediately. They met at Lane University in Lecompton Kansas. They were married on September 23, 1885 and the both dropped out of the college. She was as deeply religious as David, but was cheerful, gragarious and outgoing. She was one who ran the household with a brisk and cheerful optimism. She didn't allow long faces. She and David were deeply disturbed by Ike's choice of West Point as his school. They were pacifists. Milton said, he heard his mother cry for the first time ever, when Ike left for West Point.

He was Justice of the Peace in 1864 and Commissioner of Highways in 1860. * Info from the 'History of Genesee County Michigan], printed at Philadelphia by Everts and Abbout, in 1879. In the early days, it took a week to go to town and back for supplies. There would be pies in the pantry to eat, but you could only take from those that were all ready cut. They had servants, but when Jacob came home, no matter what the time was, the boys had to come out and take care of the horses and carriage. They each had to take turns getting up in the morning to light the fire. He and Sarah were married in Holly, Michigan and settled in Argentine. He was found in the 1860 Census for Genesee County, Argentine, MI. The Dodder District [School] was in the township of Argentine.

The limited educational privileges enjoyed by our subject were those afforded by the primitive log schoolhouse, and as the country was in his boyhood quite new and sparsely inhabited, only a few months of school could be afforded each years. The youth remained at home until he came of age, after which he worked out for a few years, and in the spring of 1855 came to Argentine Township, this county, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of partially improved land. Here he at once began the vocation of a farmer and has since devoted himself assiduously to that line of work, compelling by his energy and industry such prosperity that he is now one of the wealthy men of the county. Jacob S. Dodder was in 1854 united in marriage with Sarah Mann who was born in New Jersey but came with her parents to Michigan in 1837. Their children are: Frances, who is the wife of Alpheus Fields, a farmer in this township; George M., deceased; Arnold, who is married and a prosperous farmer here; Annie, now Mrs. Lanta Stevens of Linden; Veve, who married George Judson, a wellto-do farmer; Abi, the wife of William Gillespie living in the twnship of Mundy, and Nye , Howell, and Earnest, who are all at home. The political sympathies of Mr. Dodder have brought him into line with the Democratic party, of whose doctrines he is a staunch supporter and he wields no small influence in the county, being frequently made a delegate to county, district and State Convention. He has served as Supervisor for seven years and has also been for some time both Treasurer and Highway Commissioner. For over thirty years he has been prominently identified with the Masonic order. His three hundred and sixty acres of land are finely improved and besides this has parted with considerable to his sons. He raises all kinds of stock of improved grades and has an attractive and commodious home, substantial barns and other like improvements upon his farm.

Dodder (50), a farmer, was living in Argentine, Genesee County, Michigan, with his wife Sarah (45), and their children George (18), a farm laborer, Arnold (17), a farm laborer, Anna B. (16), Genevieve (14), Morgan (12), Abi (9), Nye (8), Howell (6), and Ernest (1). Jacob and Sarah as well as their parents were all born in New Jersey. The children were all born in Michigan. Also living with them was Adolph Johnson (25), a farm laborer, born in Sweden of Swedish parents. In 1892, Nye, Howell, and Ernest were still living at home. 1870 Census Linden Post Office Argentine Twn, Genesee Co., Michigan Jacob S. Dodder 40, farmer with real estate valued at 17,500 and property at 2,000. Born in New Jersey. Wife Sarah 26 born NJ. Daughter Frances 11; Geroge 8; Arnold 7; Annie 6; Jennievieve 4; Morgan 2; Slocum Edwin age 24. Living next door was George S. Dodder 26 with wife Sarah 19 and son David 7 months old. Notes for SARAH MANN: Death and birth date are from her headstone. Leah Dodder Culver, granddaughter of Sarah and Jacob said this about Sarah. " Grandma Dodder came to Battle Creek in 1913 when I was fourteen and she told me her and grandpa was married in Pontiac, Michigan and that grandpa used to load his wagon with wheat and take it to Pontiac to have it ground into flour, took him two weeks and now you can drive a car in less than 2 hours. Don't know if he had oxen or horses." There was a financial collapse in 1857, three years after they were married. That must have been hard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sarah was supposed to have brothers who were writters. I found written in Helen Dodder Dale's notes that Thomas Mann, born 1875, and Heinrich Mann, born 1871 were her brothers. I do not believe this is so, since there is 40 years difference in their births and I can find no link. Earnest, George, Anna and Rebecca Mann all bought property the same month and year and close to where Peter Dodder/Dudder bought property in Addison, Oakland County, Michigan in August of 1837. She named sons both names however! Also, Harvey Mann bought property in 1826, and John in 1835 and Lewis in 1825. Also nearby was Samuel Bassett who bought land in December of 1831. There was an Earnest Mann and his wife Margaret in Oakland County, Michigan in 1840 and 1850 with a Sarah. There was a Jacob E. Mann listed on page 107 of History of Genesee County, Michigan, as Flushing, Co. D, mustered out August 15, 1865 of the Fourth Calvery, from Genesee Co.

Arthur, Charles, Charles Wesley, David, Donald, Dorris, Lloyd - Page 66, Bio of C. Arthur Morrison C. ARTHUR MORRISON, former president of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, now gives most of his time to his duties as an officer in an automobile tire company. Mr. Morrison represents a pioneer family of Franklin County, and was born on his father's farm in Plain Township July 25, 1875, son of Charles Wesley and Loretta (Roberts) Morrison. His mother is still living in Ohio. His great-great-grandfather, David Morrison, was one of three brothers who came from England in the army sent over by Great Britain to fight the colonies in their struggle for independence. David deserted and joined the colonists. His son, David Morrison, married Nancy MANN, of old Holland Dutch stock. The Manns were pioneers of Morristown, New Jersey, and Morristown was named from David Morrison, the first prominent settler. Grandfather David Morrison, on coming to Ohio, settled in Franklin County and developed the farm where is son Charles Wesley and his grandson, C. Arthur, were both born. Nancy MANN was also connected with the Oldham family, a family of the English nobility and identified with the early history of Morristown, New Jersey. Mr. Morrison had several ancestors in the American Revolution. Charles Wesley Morrison was a farmer in early life, and also a stage driver in the days before railroads. He drove one of the old-fashioned stage coaches on the route from Columbus to Mount Sterlin and from Columbus to Kirkersville. He finally left the farm and moved to Delaware, where he engaged in the undertaking business. He was a very active member and on the Offical Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was master of the Masonic Lodge at New Albany. http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/gendisx/scripts/individual.idc?UniqueID=470355 Click on a name below for the full record on the individual: Decedent's Name Date of Death Father's Last Name County of Death MANN , ALEXANDER M 1 - Jul - 1874 Unknown Wayne MANN , ALFARETTA J 21 - Feb - 1874 Hickock Kalamazoo MANN , ALICE J 30 - Apr - 1876 Mann Cass MANN , ALICE L 7 - Jun - 1884 Fellows Lenawee MANN , ALTA H 23 - Dec - 1870 Mann Eaton MANN , ANNA E 8 - Dec - 1883 Mann Jackson MANN , ANNA 18 - Jun - 1881 Mann Wayne MANN , ANNIE 9 - Jul - 1884 Mann Wayne MANN , ASBERRY WIGHT 30 - Aug - 1874 Mann Berrien MANN , AZARIAH 4 - Nov - 1876 Not recorded Ingham MANN , Anna 17 - Aug - 1884 Mann Lapeer MANN , Augusta 20 - May - 1878 Mann Wayne MANN , BENJAMIN 11 - Oct - 1871 Mann Huron MANN , BESSIE A 19 - Jan - 1880 Mann Mecosta MANN , CARL 8 - Feb - 1876 Mann Wayne MANN , CHRISTEANA 29 - Mar - 1867 Mann Clinton MANN , CLIVE 5 - Dec - 1872 Not recorded Eaton MANN , CORA 12 - Jul - 1873 Mann Saginaw MANN , CRIST 15 - May - 1883 Unknown Wayne MANN , DANIEL T 25 - Feb - 1871 Mann Lapeer MANN , DAVID 24 - Dec - 1868 Mann Oakland MANN , DENNIS 30 - Sep - 1882 Not recorded Wayne MANN , EFFA M 4 - Apr - 1883 Mann Oscoda MANN , ELIAS 12 - Sep - 1877 Mann Ingham MANN , ELISHA A 6 - Oct - 1871 Mann Wayne MANN , ELLCOTT 20 - Oct - 1884 Mann Hillsdale MANN , EMMA T 0 - Sep - 1869 Man Saginaw MANN , EMMA 12 - Mar - 1882 Mann Saint Joseph MANN , ERWIN 10 - May - 1882 Mann Eaton MANN , EUGENE 29 - Jan - 1877 Mann Livingston MANN , EUNICE 20 - Jan - 1871 Clapp Eaton MANN , EUSTATIA 16 - Aug - 1870 Mann Allegan MANN , EVA DELL 3 - Apr - 1873 Mann Huron MANN , FLORA MAY 18 - Mar - 1882 Mann Montcalm MANN , FLORENCE ANNA 6 - Oct - 1882 Mann Saint Clair MANN , FRANK R 15 - Dec - 1873 Mann Cass MANN , FRANK 16 - Jul - 1877 Mann Wayne MANN , FRANK 3 - Nov - 1884 Mann Wayne MANN , FRANKLIN 16 - Dec - 1876 Mann Ingham MANN , FRANKLIN 16 - Dec - 1876 Mann Ingham MANN , FREDERIC G 24 - Oct - 1878 Mann Saginaw MANN , FREDERICK 23 - Mar - 1873 Notgiven Bay MANN , FREDERICK 0 - Jul - 1873 Mann Wayne MANN , FREEMAN J 21 - Apr - 1874 Mann Macomb MANN , GEORGE 18 - Aug - 1877 Not recorded Hillsdale MANN , GEORGIO 30 - Aug - 1875 Mann Huron MANN , HANNAH S 11 - Apr - 1871 Illegible Barry MANN , HANNAH 30 - Nov - 1876 Mann Calhoun MANN , HARRY E 21 - May - 1872 Mann Berrien MANN , HELEN 13 - Oct - 1872 Mann Saint Clair MANN , HERBERT W 11 - Oct - 1873 Mann Genesee MANN , Hiram A. 12 - Dec - 1881 Mann Saint Clair MANN , IRA 25 - Oct - 1870 Not recorded Hillsdale MANN , JACOB 18 - Mar - 1881 Mann Wayne MANN , JAMES M 9 - Nov - 1883 Unknown Wayne MANN , JAMES 10 - Jun - 1874 Mann Kent MANN , JOHN H 21 - Aug - 1884 Mann Kent MANN , JOHN JR 99 - Oct - 1883 Mann Monroe MANN , JOHN 7 - May - 1882 Not recorded Livingston MANN , JOHNATHAN 29 - Sep - 1875 Not recorded Wayne MANN , KEZIA 18 - Mar - 1875 Not recorded Genesee MANN , L J 15 - Nov - 1873 Mann Cass MANN , LEAH 18 - Apr - 1884 Wolverton Ingham MANN , LIBBIE 29 - May - 1867 Mann Hillsdale MANN , LUCY A 15 - Jun - 1872 Unknown Wayne MANN , LUCY 25 - Dec - 1875 Not recorded Wayne MANN , M MRS 17 - Dec - 1870 Unknown Wayne MANN , MARGARET 31 - Oct - 1877 Maubus Monroe MANN , MARIAN 2 - Dec - 1872 Mann Saint Clair MANN , MARSHALL L 20 - Aug - 1884 Mann Kent MANN , MARTHA E 15 - Oct - 1871 Mann Wayne MANN , MARY E 21 - Aug - 1872 Mann Berrien MANN , MARY E 18 - Feb - 1878 Not recorded Ionia MANN , MARY 18 - Jan - 1871 Mann Wayne MANN , MARY ANN 27 - Nov - 1882 Not recorded Saginaw MANN , MILLIE 4 - Jul - 1883 Mann Osceola MANN , MINIVER MAUD 8 - Feb - 1873 Mann Lenawee MANN , NELLIE 8 - Jul - 1883 Mann Osceola MANN , NOT NAMED 25 - Jun - 1876 Mann Ingham MANN , ORLANDO 17 - Jul - 1878 Not recorded Ingham MANN , PHOEBE 11 - Apr - 1870 Unknown Calhoun MANN , RALPH R 23 - Dec - 1882 Not recorded Allegan MANN , RICHARD 5 - Dec - 1882 Not recorded Eaton MANN , RUBEN 24 - Jan - 1867 Not recorded Calhoun MANN , SARAH H 30 - Mar - 1872 Mann Jackson MANN , SARAH 26 - Sep - 1867 Mann Saint Joseph MANN , SARAH 3 - Oct - 1883 Mann Oakland MANN , STEPHEN 4 - Jan - 1871 Mann Branch MANN , THOMAS T 18 - Jan - 1878 Mann Jackson MANN , THOMAS 25 - Aug - 1875 Not recorded Lenawee MANN , THOMAS 29 - Sep - 1882 Mann Sanilac MANN , TILLIE 17 - - 1873 Unknown Lapeer MANN , W.

His family lived in Trumbull County, Ohio where they moved from New Jersey. Robert was named after his maternal uncle. The spelling of Kanada is the German spelling for the country of Canada. He was the Commissioner of Highways in 1868, and 1871. He was also the Argentine Twp. Justice of the Peace. [History of Genesee County, Michigan] He and Catherine were second cousins. He kept diaries. Wish we could see some published. In his 1897 diary, Robert mentioned that they moved into the new house on Seymour Road in Argentine, Michigan on September 27. On March 20 in 1880, he wrote that they tore down the old house that day. His only son, Allen, lived down the road and his grandson Robert A. Struble, who lived at 1086 Pound, Flint Twp, was born there. He and Catherine were married on his 20th birthday, June 1, 1857. Her parents, Peter and Margaret Dodder, sold them 160 acres in 1868. Catherine's brother, Jacob, was supervisor of Argentine Twp. before Robert took the office. A school in Argentine was named for the Dodder family. In 1872 is when Robert kept his first diary, at the age of 35. The entries showed that he enjoyed life, was content to be a farmer and was conscientious in the duties of a supervisor and that he lived the life of a vigerous man. He kept the Sabbath. Only once did he mention doing work on the Sabbath day, and that was to care for a sick cow. On June 1, 1907, he wrote: At home, all friends here on the golden wedding. He recorded the deaths and funerals he attended, now and then mentioning a sale at the home of the deceased. He liked people and enjoyed visiting or being visited. He was an outdoor man in recreation as well as occupation, because every fall he went hunting, once as far away as Edmonton, Alberta. Fishing was likely to be any time, morning or afternoon, before or between farm chores. In 1876, he went to the national centennial celebration in Philadelphia. Howerver, the big week of July 4 was in the busiest season for a farmer, so he waited until September. He said it was cloudy and cool the first day, but the next day at the centennial grounds, it rained all day. Later in the week, when he went to Independence Hall, it rained 'by spells' all day. He attended rallies for both political parties. In January, 1872, the first year of the diaries, he 'went fishing, bought a sewing machine, cleaned out well, laid the platform on the well, filed the saw, got out fence caps, cut wood, got horses shod, got load of ice, 'drawed' hay, went to town with oats, took turkeys to Argentine.........' As spring came on, he mentioned the crops he was sowing, the orchards set, fence repair and burning stumps. In June, he sheared sheep and again cleaned the well. Keeping bees was one of his most demanding chores. It entailed looking for swarms of bees, building hives and frames for them....Late summer brought threshing days, helping at one neighbor after another. Autumn indicated a slowing down, with apples to pick and cider to make, cornhusking and gathering pumpkins. In October, 1872, he jotted down that Barnum's circus show was in town....His comments about the wearther include brief but descriptive phrases: 'Fine winter day, fine sleighing,' 'fearful cold;' 'snowed and blowed like split;' 'awful hot;' 'fine weather for corn.' The weather of Feb 10, 1885, with two feet of snow and a temperature of 26 below zero, elicited Struble's note: 'The worst snowstorm I ever saw." On July 4, 1902, he referred to heavy rains which 'flooded everything, roads washed out and every low place a lake." He was not exaggerating. The Journal called the rains disastrous to the farmers of Genesee County and said that 'in many parts of the county, wheat is sprouting, oats are down and the hay cut Saturday is lying under water." The article continued that the Thread Creek dam had washed out after the flood of July 3 and 4, and that Peer's wood yard was under two feet of water. Social gatherings mentioned included the farmer's picnic at Maple Island, the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Detroit, the Pioneer Picnic at Long Lake every August, going to the Dayton House in Flint for oyster supper. He told of going to Fox and Begole's mill, to Byron 'to look at Middleworth's place,' to Boutell swamp after whortleberies and on frequent winter Mondays to Softwater Lake to get ice for washing with. On April 20, 1904, he made an interesting comment, 'Went to Linden to see about a car.' He wrote on June 2, 1889, 'Went to Murrays to the scene of the murder. Five hundred people there. In the summer of 1910, he mentioned that 'ma', his wife, was very sick and on July 13, he wrote, 'Ma died a 1 p.m.' On the day of her funeral, he wrote, 'Laid Ma to rest. Very warm and rained a little." After her death his diary showed a new preoccupation with cooking and a lack of variety in the menu. In February of 1915, his diary entries stopped. He must have been sick and he died on September 21, 1915 at the age of 78. *This was from an article written about Robert K. in the Sunday, July 21, 1974 paper, 'The Flint Journal', Flint, Michigan. It had a picture of Robert K. and Catherine Struble and a picture of his grandson Robert and his wife Vivien. Marriage Notes for CATHERINE DODDER and ROBERT STRUBLE: Info from the Flint Journal.

ELMIRA8 DODDER (MARGARET7 STRUBLE, JACOB PETER6, JOHANN PETER5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born January 08, 1840 in Addison, Oakland Co., Michigan, and died 1904 in Lapeer, Osage County, Kansas. She married PHILLIP SIMMONS, son of JOHN SIMMONS and LYDIA MANNMAINES. He was born 1836 in New Jersey, and died 1901 in Marion, Kansas. Notes for ELMIRA DODDER: She grew up in Michigan when it was a wild wooded country. There were bears too. Once a bear followed her all the way to the school. The teacher saw what was going on and had the door open so she could get inside quickly. She was very "no nonsense" like her father Peter. If you were idle too long, she'd say "what do you think you're doing?!" She was living in Addison, MI when she married Philip. She came to Kansas later after the war, and helped her father Peter H. Dodder run a restaurant for the Butterfield stage line. First they kept horses and mules then little Spanish mules and would use six of those with a side rider and a stock whip. The next stop west was Burlingame. They would cooked them flapjacks and coffee. She said the stage coaches passed by just north of the Dodder cemetery, but that was moved later, in order to build a road through it. Her father bought the hill where they later lived and gave it to her and Phillip. It was very close to where he lived. And later his son Robert cared for the original place where Peter had pioneered. She had a big house with white walls, and the woodwork was painted a robin's egg blue. She was quite the gal. She did most of the work around the place taking care of everything from the garden to delivering the milk. They had Indians come by the place as late as 1894! They went to Texas for cattle and had a regular cattle drive that year. Elmira let a traveling preacher stay at her house, and during the week's meetings, she was converted "saved" and then baptized. She would spend many evenings reading her Bible. She may have died in 1904. Neighbors they had were the Badsky family. Boss Burwood, Roy Mason and Jim Gay were hired men. Sarah and Robert Dodder lived to the west a little, Jimmy Baker lived nearby. He came to Kansas with Peter Dodder in 1855. The first child born here in Lapeer, was Eli Baker, November 2, 1856; the first marriage was that of B. L. Oldham, to Miss Elvira Baker, in the year 1857. Her granddaughter Zoe thought she was really smart and knew how to do everything. In 1887, August, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey party set up on their Hill to sruvey. They were there from august 18 to September 19 and one of the colored boys died and they buried him right there. Elmira went to visit in Michigan about 1898 or so. In the family plot belonging to the Dodder's were also buried the Demings, Baldwins, Roys, Michael, and many others. Her parents and Phil's parents were buried there. On Decoration Day, they would all go to the cemetery and put flowers on the graves. Once when her granddaughter Zoe asked about why she was sad. She said, her mother, Grandma Dodder [Margaret Struble] died when you, [Zoe] were just one year old. She told her it only seemed like yesterday. 'One never quite recovers from the loss of a mother.' She had a sister in law named Hattie. The fair was held in Overbrook. George Hart had a store and the bandstand would be set up near it. She would gather the honey from the bees. Her granddaughter Zoe described it like this: "She wore Jim Gay's pants, Grandpa Phil's old jacket, an old straw hat she found somewhere, a big pink mosquito net over her hat, and some gloves. She let me tie strings over the top of her shoes so the bees couldn't get in, then around her gloves and neck. She was the funniest looking woman in the world, she was. She grinned at me and wanted me to tell her how she looked, but I couldn't tell her for laughing." When she told this to her other grandma, grandma Thompson, her comment was, "I didn't know there was a man on The Hill who wore trousers big enough to reach around Elmira." The last time Zoe saw her grandma Elmira was when they went to church. Elmira, Louis, Helen and Zoe went. The little girls wore polka dot dresses and lacy straw hats trimmed with little bunches of forget me nots. Elmira wore a black lawn with a white pin strip; and Louisa a summer lawn and each carried a fan. Elmira had lace mitts which were black and from which her fingers stuck out and Zoe wondered why mitts were made that way. In 1870 Marshall Dodder was living with them at the age of 22; stating he was a farm laborer and that he owned personal property worth $130.00. Also had someone name Arnze/Amzi Lacey 33 who was a farmer and owned real estate worth 600.00 and personal property worth 1,550.00. Philip Coursen who was 20 and living there too. [The Coursen's in NJ were related to them, so this young man probably was a relative.] *********************************************** Name: Elmira SIMMONS Age: 41 Estimated birth year: <1839> Birthplace: Michigan Relation: Wife Home in 1880: Marion, Douglas, Kansas Occupation: Keeping House Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Female Head of household: P.

His mother was married to a Simmons and then a Roy. Phillip moved from NJ, to VA, to Kansas. He always wore Sunday clothes and his white shirts had to be pressed. He was a gentleman. His granddaughter Zoe said he would help a lot with the kitchen chores and would take a stroll each day to the peach orchard southeast of the house and go see if the field corn was in tassel, and see if things were being done by the hired men and if the meadow south of the road would soon be ready to cut and so forth.

On the back of the picture my aunt wrote:"Rebecca Struble is mother Lois Wilson's aunt. She lives at 1616 S. Lawrence, Wichita, Kansas. One daughter Maud Struble." Rebecca & Mary (Polly) were sisters (Waldorf). Polly married J.J. Duncan.One daughter Maud Struble." Wichita is in Sedgwick County. Kathy: I found Mary Waldorf in the 1850 census, age 17 with 1700 real estate owned and her sister at 19 owning same amt.Then led me to believe her parents were no longer living. That ties in the guardianship paper for John P.'s minor children, the parents dying in 1836 and wife 1841 (before the 1850 census). Then the Grandmother being a Struble ties in with the Struble household caring for them. Do you know how I can get a copy of the guardianship paper?

CLYDE9 STRUBLE. 91. ROBERT KANADA8 STRUBLE (JAMES7, GEORGE PETER6, JOHANN PETER5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born June 01, 1837 in Brookfield, Trumbull Co., Ohio, and died September 21, 1915 in Seymour Lake, Argentine Co., Michigan. He married CATHERINE R. DODDER June 01, 1857 in Brookfield, Ohio, daughter of PETER DODDER and MARGARET STRUBLE. She was born May 11, 1837 in Addison, Oakland Co., Michigan, and died July 13, 1910 in Seymour Lake, Argentine Co., Michigan. Notes for ROBERT KANADA STRUBLE: He and Jake Dodder worked together to write "The Dodder Family Record". His family lived in Trumbull County, Ohio where they moved from New Jersey. Robert was named after his maternal uncle. The spelling of Kanada is the German spelling for the country of Canada. He was the Commissioner of Highways in 1868, and 1871. He was also the Argentine Twp. Justice of the Peace. [History of Genesee County, Michigan] He and Catherine were second cousins. He kept diaries. Wish we could see some published. In his 1897 diary, Robert mentioned that they moved into the new house on Seymour Road in Argentine, Michigan on September 27. On March 20 in 1880, he wrote that they tore down the old house that day. His only son, Allen, lived down the road and his grandson Robert A. Struble, who lived at 1086 Pound, Flint Twp, was born there. He and Catherine were married on his 20th birthday, June 1, 1857. Her parents, Peter and Margaret Dodder, sold them 160 acres in 1868. Catherine's brother, Jacob, was supervisor of Argentine Twp. before Robert took the office. A school in Argentine was named for the Dodder family. In 1872 is when Robert kept his first diary, at the age of 35. The entries showed that he enjoyed life, was content to be a farmer and was conscientious in the duties of a supervisor and that he lived the life of a vigerous man. He kept the Sabbath. Only once did he mention doing work on the Sabbath day, and that was to care for a sick cow. On June 1, 1907, he wrote: At home, all friends here on the golden wedding. He recorded the deaths and funerals he attended, now and then mentioning a sale at the home of the deceased. He liked people and enjoyed visiting or being visited. He was an outdoor man in recreation as well as occupation, because every fall he went hunting, once as far away as Edmonton, Alberta. Fishing was likely to be any time, morning or afternoon, before or between farm chores. In 1876, he went to the national centennial celebration in Philadelphia. Howerver, the big week of July 4 was in the busiest season for a farmer, so he waited until September. He said it was cloudy and cool the first day, but the next day at the centennial grounds, it rained all day. Later in the week, when he went to Independence Hall, it rained 'by spells' all day. He attended rallies for both political parties. In January, 1872, the first year of the diaries, he 'went fishing, bought a sewing machine, cleaned out well, laid the platform on the well, filed the saw, got out fence caps, cut wood, got horses shod, got load of ice, 'drawed' hay, went to town with oats, took turkeys to Argentine.........' As spring came on, he mentioned the crops he was sowing, the orchards set, fence repair and burning stumps. In June, he sheared sheep and again cleaned the well. Keeping bees was one of his most demanding chores. It entailed looking for swarms of bees, building hives and frames for them....Late summer brought threshing days, helping at one neighbor after another. Autumn indicated a slowing down, with apples to pick and cider to make, cornhusking and gathering pumpkins. In October, 1872, he jotted down that Barnum's circus show was in town....His comments about the wearther include brief but descriptive phrases: 'Fine winter day, fine sleighing,' 'fearful cold;' 'snowed and blowed like split;' 'awful hot;' 'fine weather for corn.' The weather of Feb 10, 1885, with two feet of snow and a temperature of 26 below zero, elicited Struble's note: 'The worst snowstorm I ever saw." On July 4, 1902, he referred to heavy rains which 'flooded everything, roads washed out and every low place a lake." He was not exaggerating. The Journal called the rains disastrous to the farmers of Genesee County and said that 'in many parts of the county, wheat is sprouting, oats are down and the hay cut Saturday is lying under water." The article continued that the Thread Creek dam had washed out after the flood of July 3 and 4, and that Peer's wood yard was under two feet of water. Social gatherings mentioned included the farmer's picnic at Maple Island, the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Detroit, the Pioneer Picnic at Long Lake every August, going to the Dayton House in Flint for oyster supper. He told of going to Fox and Begole's mill, to Byron 'to look at Middleworth's place,' to Boutell swamp after whortleberies and on frequent winter Mondays to Softwater Lake to get ice for washing with. On April 20, 1904, he made an interesting comment, 'Went to Linden to see about a car.' He wrote on June 2, 1889, 'Went to Murrays to the scene of the murder. Five hundred people there. In the summer of 1910, he mentioned that 'ma', his wife, was very sick and on July 13, he wrote, 'Ma died a 1 p.m.' On the day of her funeral, he wrote, 'Laid Ma to rest. Very warm and rained a little." After her death his diary showed a new preoccupation with cooking and a lack of variety in the menu. In February of 1915, his diary entries stopped. He must have been sick and he died on September 21, 1915 at the age of 78. *This was from an article written about Robert K. in the Sunday, July 21, 1974 paper, 'The Flint Journal', Flint, Michigan. It had a picture of Robert K. and Catherine Struble and a picture of his grandson Robert and his wife Vivien. Notes for CATHERINE R. DODDER: They were second cousins.

ARTHUR9 MORRISON, m. GERTRUDE L. FINCH. Notes for ARTHUR MORRISON: Volume IV on the Morrison family: C. Arthur, Charles, Charles Wesley, David, Donald, Dorris, Lloyd - Page 66, Bio of C. Arthur Morrison C. ARTHUR MORRISON, former president of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, now gives most of his time to his duties as an officer in an automobile tire company. Mr. Morrison represents a pioneer family of Franklin County, and was born on his father's farm in Plain Township July 25, 1875, son of Charles Wesley and Loretta (Roberts) Morrison. His mother is till living in Ohio. His great-great-grandfather, David MORRISON, was one of three brothers who came from England in the army sent over by Great Britain to fight the colonies in their struggle for independence. David deserted and joined the colonists. His son, David Morrison, married Nancy MANN, of old Holland Dutch stock. The Manns were pioneers of Morristown, New Jersey, and Morristown was named from David Morrison, the first prominent settler. Grandfather David Morrison, on coming to Ohio, settled in Franklin County and developed the farm where is son Charles Wesley and his grandson, C. Arthur, were both born. Nancy Mann was also connected with the Oldham family, a family of the English nobility and identified with the early history of Morristown, New Jersey. In the maternal line Loretta Roberts is a descendant of Bear Roberts, who was a Colonial settler in New England, coming from England. Mr. Morrison had several ancestors in the American Revolution. Charles Wesley Morrison was a farmer in early life, and also a stage driver in the days before railroads. He drove one of the old-fashioned stage coaches on the route from Columbus to Mount Sterlin and from Columbus to Kirkersville. He finally left the farm and moved to Delaware, where he engaged in the undertaking business. He was a very active member and on the Offical Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was master of the Masonic Lodge at New Albany. C. Arthur Morrison was educated in public schools, attended high school, the Presbyterian Temple College and the Normal School at Reynoldsburg, Franklin County. At the age of nineteen he began teaching, a profession he followed for five years. Part of the time he was connected with the schools at New Albany and also with district schools. During the last three years he studied medicine under Doctor Gravina. >From the educational profession he joined his father in the undertaking business at Delaware in 1900. Mr. Morrison gave most of his time to the undertaking business until 1921. He is one of the best known funeral directors in the state. His activity in behalf of the profession brought him the distinction of being elected president in 1915 at the Funeral Directors Association. He made many speeches over the state and otherwise exercised his influence toward getting the Legislature to adopt revised and higher standards for embalmers and funeral directors. Mr. Morrison is treasurer and a director of Rainbow Tire and Rubber Company. This company owns license on a puncture proof inner tube which has been submitted to the most rigid tests and pronounced one the big things in the automobile world. The plant for manufacturing these tubes is located at Delaware, and the main offices of the company are in Columbus. October 22, 1902, in Delaware County, Mr. Morrison married Miss Gertrude L. Finch, daughter of Harmon and Mary A. (Ferguson) Finch, both Ohio people and now deceased. Her father was a farmer, and was a trustee and steward of the Methodist Church. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison have three sons and one daughter, Dorris, Charles, Donald and Lloyd. Dorris graduated from high school in 1923. The children are all musical in their tastes and talents, and derive these qualities in large part from their father, who in his younger days played an instrument in the bank and has always kept up his interest in musical matters. Caroline E. & Thomas J., Page 218 - Bio of Joel William Roberts JOEL WILLIAM ROBERTS. The practical man is the one who is forging ahead today in every line of endeavor. This is too busy an age to admit of theoretical experiments without the backing of sound experience. Those who are succeeding are those who understant their work, and the demands of the public, and how to meet the needs of their patrons. Especially is this true in those lines connected with electricity and automobiles, the two great developments of the twentieth century. One of the men of Youngstown who prepared himself for his business career in a practical way by actual experience is Joel Williams Roberts, of 232 East Boardman Street. Joel William Roberts was born at Hadley, Pennsylvania, January 20, 1885, a son of Robert R. and Lottie E. (Bailey) Roberts, natives of Hubbard, Ohio, who were married in Pennsylvania. Robert R. Roberts, of Welsh descent was a saw-mill operator, and died in May 1886. The mother subsequently married Frank P. Hibler, of Hubbard, Ohio, and is still living. >From the age of seven years until 1914, Joel William Roberts resided on a farm with his maternal grandparents, and in the latter year moved with them to Hubbard, Ohio, where the grandfather died March 19, 1923, but the grandmother is still living at Hubbard. The district schools gave Mr. Roberts his educational training, and farm work developed him physically and taught him the value of honest labor. His preliminary electrical experience was gained as an employe of the Miller-Smythe Electric Company of Youngstown, and after he had been three years with the concern he had charge of the automobile section. In November, 1922, he bought the automobile branch of the business, and has since been engaged in installing automobile electrical equipment, in which he is an acknowedged expert. In 1919 Mr. Roberts married Miss Caroline E. Morrison, born at Hadley, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Thomas J. and Irene (McKay) Morrison, natives of Pennsylvania. Mr. Roberts is a Methodist. While he is interested in civic matters, he has not see fit to affiliate with either of the parties, but votes independently.

PRESIDENT OF THE USA DWIGHT DAVID IKE8 EISENHOWER (DAVID JACOB7 EISENHAUER, JACOB FREDERICK6, FREDRICK5, JOHANN PETER4, ANNA MARGARETHA3 STRUBLE, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born October 14, 1890 in US President, Denison, Texas, and died March 28, 1969 in Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington, D.C.. He married MAMIE GENEVA DOUD July 01, 1916 in Denver, Colorado, daughter of JOHN DOUD and ELIVERA CARLSON. She was born November 14, 1896 in Boone, Iowa, and died November 01, 1979 in Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington, D.C.. Notes for PRESIDENT OF THE USA DWIGHT DAVID IKE EISENHOWER: He moved from Texas when still an infant. He grew up in Abiline, Kansas. They lived on the wrong side of the tracks. The barn at the back of their house was filled with cows and chickens. They raised vegetables and fruit. The boys took turns rising before dawn to build a fire in the kitchen stove, milked the cows, gathered eggs, pulled weeds in the vegetable garden, washed dishes, helped with the laundry and wore hand me down clothes. Ike also rode, swam, cooked out, hunted, fished for carp and catfish and explored the country around where they lived. He worked picking apples for the town cider mill and worked on a crew of wheat harvesters. He even worked at the creamery where his father worked. In 1904, he started high school. He attended Abilene High School. He made near perfect grades in history and geometry. All other classes were in the 80's and 90's. He loved baseball and football. One day while racing home from school, he stumbled over a brick and skinned his left knee. A few mornings later, he awoke with a bad ache in that leg. That night the foot turned black and swollen. There was a red streak running up the leg. Dr. Conklin said it was blood poisoning. The next morning the black swelling was close to his knee. The Dr. said if it reached his abdomen, he would die. He wanted to amputate. Ike told his brother, Edgar, "Don't let them operate. I would rather die." That night, when Ike's fever rose, he began to sink into a coma. Edgar planted himself in the doorway and said "Nobody is going to touch Dwight." He slept on the floor and only allowed the Dr. to change dressings and put carbolic acid on the would. On the third day the fever broke and the swelling began to recede. In three weeks, Ike was back on his feet. Edgar and Ike graduated in the class of 1909. Edgar had dropped out for two years and Ike for one. The school yearbook made some interesting prophecies about them. Edgar, it said would be the President of the United States some day. Dwight would teach history, his favorite subject at Yale. They both wanted to continue their education but didn't have the money. They made a pact. One would go to school while the other worked and supported them. They would switch off each year. Edgar went first. He studied law at the University of Michigan. Ike worked on a farm, in a factory, at the creamery, and dumping 300 pound loads of ice down a chute for $32.50 a month. Later he was promoted to the night shift, earning $90 as a engineering technician. His friend, Everett E. Hazlett received a congressional appointment to Annapolis and was cramming for the entrance exams. He suggested that Ike check in to it. He applied to Senator Bristow and was invited to take the War Department exam for Annapolis or West Point. Ike studied with his friend and in October 1910 took the exams. He came out first for Annapolis but was ineligible because he was over 20. The man who came in first for West Point couldn't go, so Ike, who was the second choice was ordered to report on June 14. His parents were upset, but they did not interfere. And so began his destiny which would lead him to become the Supreme Commander for World War II. Then later, to become the President of the United States of America. Early in the 1912 season, Ike was one of West Point's outstanding football players. Later in the fall, two weeks before the 1912 Army-Navy game, he damaged his knee in a game with the famous athelete Jim Thorpe [Carlisle, Penn. team] and then by playing again the following week in the Tufts game, it cost him his football career. Ike graduated in 1915 as a member of the class "the stars fell on." Out of its 164 members, 59 became general. Its nearest conpetitor was the class of 1917, which produced 43 generals. After America declared war on Germany in 1917, Eisenhower tried to get himself assigned overseas without success,. He was sent to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to command a camp for training in new and untested weapons--tanks. He was so good at this, that he later received the Distinguished Service Medal for it. While at Camp Meade Maryland, he got to know George Patton who had seen combat in France. Patton and Ike loved the tanks and thought it had potential as a new offensive weapon. Through Patton, Eisenhower met General Fox Conner who had been General John J. Pershing's operations officer in France. Conner was so impressed with Ike that he managed to get him sent to Panama in the early 1920's. Conners loved military history and required Ike's reading of military history. Conner had Ike sent to the Army's prestigious Command and General Staff school at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas in 1925. He graduated first in his class of 275. After the war, he became President of Columbia University, then took leave to assume supreme command over the new NATO forces being assembled in 1951. Republican emissaries to his headquarters near Paris persuaded him to run for President in 1952. President Eisenhower, an avid golfer, had a putting green installed on the White House lawn. He also banished squirrels from the grounds because they were ruining the green. Dwight obtained a truce in Korea, as president, and worked incessantly during his two terms to ease the tensions of the Cold War. He pursued the moderate policies of "Modern Republicanism," pointing out as he left office, "America is today the strongest, most influential, and most productive nation in the world." serving under Generals John J. Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France. In domestic policy the President pursued a middle course, continuing most of the New Deal and Fair Deal programs, emphasizing a balanced budget. As desegregation of schools began, he sent troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, to assure compliance with the orders of a Federal court; he also ordered the complete desegregation of the Armed Forces. "There must be no second class citizens in this country," he wrote. He reportedly told his wife several times that his country was first and she was second. He loved Western magazines and books. His favorite foods were steak, fried chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, roast beef, broiled fish and a special baked-bean dish without tomato sauce, made with salt pork, molasses and onions. He loved to cook. He make a chicken vegetable soup that took two days to prepare. Key ingredients were turnips, cabbage and nasturtium stems. As a point of interest for our family, the Dodder family, [linked to the Eisenhowers through the Strubles] Ike served with the 19th Infantry at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas after his graduation is 1915. Ollie Culver was there in 1915 also, chasing Pancho Villa around. San Antonio is where Ike met his future wife Mamie. He pulled duty near the Mexican border in the fall of 1916. He was said to have had a 'rich' vocabulary as most army men did. In 1919, the Army sent a truck convoy from coast to coast to test its vehicles on the mostly unpaved roads of the USA of those days to show Americans the equipment used during the war and to dramatize the lack of good highways. They left Washington D. C. July 7 and arrived in San Franciso on September 6th. They averaged 5 miles an hour on the trip. Ike had a great time during the trip, hunting, fishing and playing poker and practical jokes. Later he used the experience to promote one of his greatest achievements during his presidency, the U. S. Interstate Highway System. In 1922-24, he served under General Fox Conner, one of the Army's 'brains' and one of the three most important generals who influenced Ike's career. He said of Conner, that he was "the ablest man I ever knew." In 1929, he returned to Washington to work in the office of the assistant secretary of war and in the early 1930's, he served as Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur's aide. In 1935, he served in the Philippines under MacArthur and became the liaison between the American proconsul and the Philippine president Quezon. He shave his haid here for comfort. He had the ability to utterly concentrate on whatever he was doing at the time. He became a brigadier general at the end of the great Louisiana maneuvers in Lake Charles in 1941. Three months later, Pearl Harbor was bombed in the sneak attack by the Japanese. Chief of Staff George Marshall needed a planning officer who knew both the Far East and its American commander MacArthur, and Eisenhower met those qualifications perfectly. He arrived in Washington D.C. on December 14, 1941. Ike's ability to get along with the other agencies including the Navy was a plus and on his trip to England, he was a great hit with the British also. In June of 1942, Marshall picked him to be the European Theater of Operations commander and President Roosevelt backed him also. He was on his way up! He of course, served as President with Richard Nixon as his vice president. He was well versed in the Bible. He knew the military campaigns described in the Old Testament. He had a deep faith in a sovereign God as a creator, a sustainer and a redeemer of life. He lived in that hope and that assurance. He did not attend church regularly. He later became a Presbyterian. He always prayed during the war before making any major decision. He did the same in the Oval Office. He opened every Cabinet meeting be calling for a minute of silent prayer. Two quotes from his final moments. "I've always loved my wife. I've always loved my children. I've always loved my grandhildren. And I have always loved my country."

In June 1942 he was sent to England as US Commander in the European theatre and in November 1942 became Commander in Chief of the American and British forces on the occasion of the invasion of North Africa. Notes for MAMIE GENEVA DOUD: She was raised in a well to do family. She was a very good piano player. She had a heart valve scarred by an undiagnosed attack of rheumatic fever. She tired easily and had a chronic stomach ailment. She took care of the families finances and they never once were in debt. She once said, "I've kept house in everything but an igloo....they moved 35 times in the first 35 years of their marriage. She mentioned during the final days of her husbands life to lady Bird Johnson that she was afraid to return to Gettysburg and live alone. Mrs. Johnson told the President and he got legislation enacted that for the first time gave widows of Chief Executives protection for life by the Secret Service. She attended church often and each night before retiring she read a passage from the Bible. She was intensely patriotic and always wore an American flag pin. Mamie liked George Bush and supported him in the 1980 campaign. Ike had always liked him too. "Their simplicity, strength of character and charm reflected the heartland of our country. They were America." Lester and Irene David. She once said, "I have but one career and its name is Ike." Another notable first lady, Abigail Adams, once said in 1809, "No man ever prospered in the world without the consent and cooperation of his wife,". And Martha Washington once said in 1789, "There is certain bounds set for me which I must not depart from- and as I cannot do as I like, I am obstinate and stay at home a great deal."

Notes for DOUD DWIGHT EISENHOWER: His father, Ike, was in Ft. Oglethorpe in Georgia at the time of his birth and did not know about it for two days. Icky's grandmother Doud was there with his mother. They were taken to the post hospital in a mule-drawn ambulance. He was born shortly before 8 in the morning. On December 23, 1920, Icky began vomiting. He said his head and throat hurt. They called the Dr. He said the boy probably had Mamie's cold. On Christmas day, he seemed worse. A rash appeared on his neck and chest and spread quickly over his entire body except for his face. His temperatue hit 105. His tongue was bright red. He was put in the hospital. he died on January 2, 1921. Ike wrote nearly a half century later: "This was the greatest disappointment and disaster of my life, the one I have never been able to forget completely. Today when I think of it, even now as I write of it, the keenness of our loss comes back to me as freash and terrible as it was in that long dark day"..... 141. ii. JOHN SHERIDAN DOUD EISENHOWER, b.

And throughout Europe, the casualties dwarfed those of previous wars. Almost 22 million lost their lives. Nine million of the victims were soldiers; the rest were civilian men, women and children caught in the war's cross-fire. Out of the ruin and desolation of WWI, a poem was created that became the war's most powerful memorial. In remembrance of the American doughboys who still lie in Flanders Fields, and for all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in war, Mr. Dreyfuss read this poem written by John McCrae. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. WWI Songs: "Over There," "Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," Piece of the Rhine," "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France," "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," "Smile Smile Smile," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Grand Ole' Flag." http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/stories/wwl.html REFLECTIONS "I am writing this letter in memory of my uncle, Clyde Ramage, from Nashville, Arkansas, who died in 1918 in France. When I was a child and looking in my grandmother's house for stamps to add to my collection, I found letters from Clyde to his mother. When he enlisted in the army, he was studying to become a dentist at Southern State College. His death greatly affected my grandmother and all his brothers and sisters."

Later, Michelle Wertenberger and Rachel Allbright would come along with looks that were very similar to hers when in their teen years.

Just to clear up some confusion I may be causing, we used to call Doris and Rex,' Little Grandma and Little Grandpa' and we called Great Grandma Rachel and Robert Dodder, 'Very Grandma and Very Grandpa'.

Also that he said his father was born in Michigan and his mother in Indiana. That is interesting. His mom and dad were actually both born in New Jersey...........hmm. Morgan was born in about 1868 according to his headstone. So, that make it this Morgan, in 1920, he would have been 52. He married Mary Gillespie, whose mom and dad were both Gillespie's. They were cousins. Her dad was the Treasurer of Argentine Twn. Apparently, Morgan's wife died early at age 37 and the kids had to be split up with family. Little Annabel and sister Dorothy went clear to Racine, Wisconsin to live with their aunt Sarah. Dorothy had trouble with her legs and they had to be massaged quite often. Annabel was 3 and Dorothy 1, when their mother died. Little Maynard was 5, Morgan was 10, In my Annabel notes it says that her father Morgan spent some time in jail...........Grover was 12, Harriet was 14, Alexander was 15 and Harold was 16.

HOWELL9 DODDER (JACOB STRUBLE8, MARGARET7 STRUBLE, JACOB PETER6, JOHANN PETER5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born March 27, 1874 in Argentine, Genesee Co., MI, and died November 11, 1948 in On a Thursday at their home in Pontiac, MI. He married MARY ELIZA BASSETT March 20, 1895 in Saginaw, Michigan, daughter of GEORGE BASSETT and MARIAH CHASE. She was born April 14, 1876 in Saginaw City, MI, and died October 26, 1949 in Royal Oak, MI. Notes for HOWELL DODDER: Howell was born March 27, 1874 and married Mary Bassett on March 20, 1895. Battle Creek City Directory 1921 has Howell as an employee of Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co, res 80 Michigan av S. He ran away at the age of 16 to Overbrook, Kansas and stayed with uncle Silas. Grandpa Jacob went to Overbrook and brought him back to Michigan. He ran away again to Chicago, Illinois to grandpa Ernest Mann. Grandpa Jacob again went and brought him home. He was not included in the family inheritance. Family rumor was that his parents did not approve of his spouse. He worked for the railroad at Moose Jaw for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1913 and the Grand Trunk in Battle Creek, Michigan, c: 1908. He was a fireman, and he was a farmer. His was injured when a horse kicked him in 1925 and he never fully recovered. He was a member of the YMCA in 1911. One family story is that a horse of his died during harvest time and the neighbors complained. An officer came out and told him to bury the horse. He handed him a shovel and told him if he wanted it done now, he could do it himself. It was harvest time and after he was done, he would take care of the horse. He named his son Jacob, born in November of 1903 after his father who died in April of 1903. His obituary reads: Howell Dodder, 73 [74], died at 11:45 pm Thursday in his home at 260 Cedardale Avenue, after a short illness. Born in Genesee county, March 27, 1875, he was the son of Jacob S. and Sarah Ann Dodder. He married Mary E. Bassett at Saginaw, March 20, 1895, coming to Pontiac from Whittemore two years ago. Surviving besides his widow are four daughters, Mrs. Marguaerite Johnson of Pontiac, Mrs. Rachel Dodder of Whittemore, Mrs. Leah Culver and Mrs. Helen Dale of Prescott, Ariz.: two sons, Jacob S. of Whittemore and George A. Royal Oak; 26 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Abi Gillespie of Flint and Mrs. Vieve Judson of Detroit. Service will be held at 10 am Monday from the Sparks-Griffin chapel, with the Rev. C.J. Harvestad of the First Baptist Church officiating. Burial will follow at Durand.

The Grand Trunk Railway.--This road may very properly be ranked as one of the most stupendous works of modern engineering, far surpassing in vastness and expense any mechanical work ever undertaken on this continent, and ranking with the wonderful efforts of the ancient nations of the East. This great railway, the longest continuous road in the world, was completed to the city of Detroit in November, 1858, making, with the exception of the ferry across the St. Clair river, at Port Huron, an unbroken line of rail, upwards of one thousand miles in extent, connecting the city of Detroit, Michigan, with that of Portland, Maine. Being of uniform gauge, no change of cars is necessary from Sarnia (opposite Port Huron, on the Canadian side of the St. Clair river) to Portland; and being also under the management of one corporation, it affords better facilities for the prosection of passengers and the preservation of their baggage than where they are required to pass over lines under the control of different, and perhaps conflicting corporations. Having only one set of officers quartered upon its exchequer, it can afford to do business at lower proportionate rates, than a number of shorter lines, each having a different set to salary, while the delay and vexation which not unfrequently arise from short routes, being compelled to wait upon each others’ movements, will all be avoided, which is certainly no small consideration both to passengers and shippers. If there is a dereliction of duty in the transmission of freight, shippers have their remedy. If baggage is lost, there is no trouble required to determine where the responsibility rests, as is the case where it passes over a number of different roads. The completion of this stupendous bond of connection between the eastern and western states, Canada and Europe, renders markets available which were before difficult of access, and enables far distant countries to exchange their products at all seasons. The Grand Trunk may be called the first section of the Pacific Railroad, as it already communicates with the Mississippi through Michigan, Illinois and [p.45] Wisconsin railroads, and we expect to see the line completed from the Mississippi to California. It is not easy to form an estimate of the amount of traffic and intercourse that the eleven hundred miles of Grand Trunk Railway will bring to Michigan and the neighboring states. A junction has been formed with that model of western lines, the Michigan Central, by which freight and passengers reach Chicago and the numerous lines which diverge from that city. It is probable that another junction will be made with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway, by means of a branch from Port Huron to Owosso. In this case there will be a direct line across Michigan connecting with the Milwaukee railroads by the ferry across the lake, and penetrating into Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Oregon, by lines which have not yet been traced on the railway maps of the United States. The direct connection that Michigan now enjoys, by means of this road, with the Atlantic seaboard, at the fine harbor of Portland, is a matter of the most vital importance. Our state can now be supplied with the valuable products of the West Indies and other foreign ports,at a decidedly cheaper rate than can the states nearer the seaboard, but access to which is restricted by imperfect modes of communication.database: Full Context of Michigan Gazetteer, 1839 ADDISON township, Oakland county, is comprised of township five north, or range eleven east. Statistics as per census.--Population 343.--A grist mill, 2 saw mills. Oakland is remarkable for the great quantity of its hydraulic power, especially on the Rouge and the branches or Red river, Clinton river, Paint and Stony creeks, and the extreme branches of the Huron. Many of the mill sites are improved, and, comparatively speaking, there is considerable manufacturing, of different kinds, done in the county. Although there are some unsold public lands, they are mostly taken up. It is embraced in the Detroit Land district. Oakland elects six representatives, and is included in the third senatorial district, which elects three senators to the State legislature. Population, 20,176. Is bounded on the north by Mackinac county, east by Montcalm, south by the counties of Kent and Ottawa, and west by Ottawa and Lake Michigan. It is unorganized, and attached to Kent for judicial purposes. It contains an area of 834 square miles. The rivers are the Rouge, Maskegon, and White. It is said to contain a body of excellent land, but it is possession [p.235] of the Indians--though in progress of survey. It is embraced in the Grand River Land District. (See Ottawa county.) Is bounded on the north by Oceana, east by Kent and Oceana, south by Allegan, and west by Lake Michigan. It was organized in 1837, and contains about 794 square miles. The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad This road is now in successful operation from East Saginaw to Mt. Morris, six miles north of Flint, to which place it will undoubtedly be completed this fall. Although entirely unconnected with any other line of road, it is doing a paying business, and has contributed largely toward the success of the towns in the Saginaw Valley. A brief history of the road may not be uninteresting to many of our readers. In 1856, when congress adopted a general system of donation of the public lands in the western state to aid in the construction of railroads, lands were granted to this state for a similar purpose. At the session of the legislature in the winter [p.44] of 1857, these lands were conferred upon the Pere and Marquette Railroad Company, which surveyed the route of its road from Flint to Per Marquette, in the country of Mason, upon the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, a distance of one hundred and seventy-two miles, and located the line of it in the summer of 1857. It will be recollected that in September of that year, the commercial world was fearfully convulsed, and owing to the constant disasters, the work of construction was not commenced until the fall of 1858. In the following year some thirteen miles of the road were graded, and five miles of track was laid with Michigan iron, manufactured at Wyandotte. The next year, 1858, the work of grading was continued, but the financial difficulties of the times were such as to preclude the company from obtaining their iron that season, so as to extend the track. In 1860 the time had expired wherein the company were to complete the first twenty miles of the road, so as to entitle it to the benefit of the law of the state conferring upon the companies the lands granted by congress to aid in its construction. In this dilemma, with the apprehension of a possible forfeiture being declared by the state, such assurances of good will that no advantage or exception would be taken if the company would prosecute the enterprise in good faith, that the contractors were induced to proceed and complete the first twenty-six and a half miles of the route, as we have before stated. The inception of the enterprise is mainly attributed to Mr. M. L. Drake, of Oakland county, and its execution to the good judgment and energetic enterprise of Mr. Samuel Farwell, of Utica, New York.

According to Bobbie [Roberta E. Petitt] she says that Mary Bassett Dodder's middle name should be Elizabeth and that Rachel Dodder named her daughter Mary Pickard [my mom calls her Mary Pick] after Mary Bassett Dodder. And Bobbie named her daughter, Mary Elizabeth Gooding, after her great aunt Mary Pickard. Perhaps that is the way it should have been written on the delayed registration of birth. Mary was a packer at Postum Cereal Co Inc., at 23 Marjorie [Battle Creek City Directory 1921]. She also was an employee at Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., resident 80 Michigan av S. Of Interest: It was said that when she prayed, things happened. Once when her garden was needing rain, she prayed and it rained only on her garden, no where else. Mary was a born again Baptist. In a letter dated June 4, 1944, which she wrote to her youngest daughter, Helen "Babe", she wrote: "*St. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8, 9, First John 1:9, First John 1:7, St. John 5:24, Romans 10: 9, 10-13, and St. Matthew 11:28. These, dearest daughter, are just a few of the precious promises, look these up, mark them on the fly leaf of your Bible and keep these for ready references, and remember mom prays for you each day that you and George may both accept the Lord, and be baptized, that you may both become true born again Christians, and on your way to Heaven." [I have a copy of the letter. JLW-McCarty] She taught her children to know the Lord, gave them scripture, and prayed for them. In her 1925 calendar diary, she wrote that she weighed 165 and was 5' #' tall and wore size 4-1/2 shoe. She was living in Bellevue, Michigan and her Dr. was Dr. Wessou. Mary kept several diaries which are very interesting. I [JLWM] have several copies of them. She was a hard worker and loved to get letters from her children after they left home. She writes in one letter later in her life of having to dress and get ready 6 or 7 chickens a day to sell to a hospital to earn extra money. What a chore! She writes of it being so cold they could hardly get the wood stove to start up! *St. John 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotton Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8,9- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1John 1:9- If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:7- But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. St. John 5:24- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into comdemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Romans 10:9--13- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. St. Matthew 11:28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In a book called, 'Praise and Victory Songs', there is a note written from Mary. It says, 'To my Lois and Betty girls, please learn to sing a lot of thes hymns so we can sing them together when I come down.' Your grandma. This was in the pamplet that was handed out at my [Janice Wertenberger] great grandma Mary Bassett Dodder's funeral. She was a converted Christian. In My Father's House No, not cold beneath the grasses, Not close-walled within the tomb; Rather, in my Farther's mansion, Living in another room. Living, like the one who loves me, Like my child with cheeks abloom, Out of sight, at desk or school-book, Busy in another room. Shall I doubt my Father's mercy? Shall I think of death as doom, Or the stepping o'er the threshold To a bigger, brighter room? Shall I blame my Father's wisdom? Shall I sit enswathed in gloom, When I know my loves are happy, Waiting in the other room?

She crocheted beautiful items. Later, Michelle Wertenberger and Rachel Allbright would come along with looks that were very similar to hers when in their teen years. My mother said that Rachel told her one time that they only had meat on Sundays. The rest of the week they ate vegetables. Lots of potatoes etc. *Info from Elizabeth 'Betty' Culver. Just to clear up some confusion I may be causing, we used to call Doris and Rex,' Little Grandma and Little Grandpa' and we called Great Grandma Rachel and Robert Dodder, 'Very Grandma and Very Grandpa'. Never knew exactly why, I guess it was because they were the "Great" grandparents? Oh well, it was less confusing for us when we were little and we still perceive them that way....... *Info from Pamela Gooding Hennessey.

And throughout Europe, the casualties dwarfed those of previous wars. Almost 22 million lost their lives. Nine million of the victims were soldiers; the rest were civilian men, women and children caught in the war's cross-fire. Out of the ruin and desolation of WWI, a poem was created that became the war's most powerful memorial. In remembrance of the American doughboys who still lie in Flanders Fields, and for all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in war, Mr. Dreyfuss read this poem written by John McCrae. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Her sister, Leah's daughter, Elizabeth "Betty" had a grandson, Daniel McCarty who was born with a complete cleft lip and palate too. That is the only one we are aware of. Martha died at Leah's house. In Battle Creek City Directory 1921, She is listed as boarding with her parents at 80 Michigan av S. In her newspaper obituary: Mrs. Mark W. Lindsey, Nashville. Jan. 30-Mrs. Mark. W. Lindsey, 45, of Maple Grove township, died suddenly at the home of her sister, Mrs. O. F. Culver, at Inkster, near Detroit, Wednesday afternoon. She had been ill several months, and had gone there only recently to be under the care of her sister.

[or Lakeview?] Notes for WILLIAM ESTES: I am looking for information which pertains to my great uncle, Jesse Hargus ESTES. He was born circa Aug 1897 in Lee County, KY. He lived sporadically in Cincinnati, OH with his brother, George Estes. I recently learned from a cousin that Jesse ESTES's body was found along the side of the road in Pontiac, Michigan some time around the late 1930's to the 1940's, exact date not known. Apparently his death was of a suspicious nature. Could someone please look up Jesse ESTES in the Pontiac, Michigan or Oakland County, Michigan newspaper index to see if there might be an article which pertains to his death or the finding of his body? Could someone provide me with addresses of cemeteries that would been considered "Potter's Fields" around that time period? Before spending the $$ for a death certificate search I would like to try these options first.

LEAH ISABELLE DODDER, b. June 07, 1899, Gaines Twn., Swartz Creek, MI; d. April 20, 1970, Prescott, Yavapai Co., AZ; m. OLLIE FRANKLIN CULVER, March 20, 1918, Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan; b. February 23, 1887, Greggsville, Ohio Co., WV; d. March 26, 1962, Prescott, Yavapai Co., AZ-Ft. Whipple Hospital. Notes for LEAH ISABELLE DODDER: She was born in Gaines, Michigan on June 7, 1899. According to the census in 1900, she and her parents were living in Vernon, Shiawassee, Michigan. Howell was 26, Mary 24, Rachel 4, Martha was 2 and Leah was a baby. In the 1910 Census, we find Leah was living with her grandparents or was she visiting when the census was taken? Her grandparents, James A and Mary J. Scrivener were 61 and 60 at the time. This was in Vernon, Shiawassee, Michigan. She married Ollie March 20, 1918. When she died, the Hampton Funeral Home handled the Funeral. Pastor Frank Weatherbee, a Baptist Pastor, did the service. They lived in Arizona from 1944. She loved to read, to travel, always had a garden, raised chickens, rabbits etc., was a very good cook, and dearly loved her family. She had interesting sayings like "well I'll be dipped in iron and set in a park" and "Judas Priest". She always wore a dress. She had strict morals. She got Alzheimer's at the end of her life. When we were little, we used to run in the house when Uncle Jim was heckling us and tell grandma. She'd get the broom and go after him. We loved it! They always named the critters they had after folks in the family. So when you read her diaries, be aware! She was a home body. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A post card that was sent to Leah from Ollie said: Mrs. Leah Culver 23 Marjorie St. Battle Creek, MI O.F. Culver Hq Es 337th Inf. Vessel Aquitanie [YMCA Post Card with printed message: The land of the Free and the Home of the Brave] Dated March 30th Dear wife, Arrived in NY today, don't know when we will leave for Custer, but it will be very soon, there is only Division Hdqrs, Brigade Hqr's, and Hq Co., and supply Co., of the 337th Inf. that is all of the 82th that have arrived so far.

O.F.C. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leah said that when visiting with grandma Scrivener, that she told her that grandma Jane was married five times. I have only found evidence of 4 marriages so far. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a tiny book just called 'notes', I found this written. "June 8, 1966. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson sold their place and moved away this morning. I shall miss them very much." My grandmother was not close to many people and I imagine this was very hard on her. It was 4 years after Ollie had died. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Klondike Gold Rush was in 1897, President McKinley was shot 1901. In 1913 the graduated income tax was instituted as a way to punish or soak the rich, depending on how you look at it and so to redistribute income, 1913 the Federal Reserve System was started and Karl Marx urged a central bank in his platform with a restriction on the free enterprise system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So far in the family, Mary died of a heart attack. Ginny from lung cancer. Margaret had diabetes and hardening of the arteries. Jim had diabetes and had gall bladder trouble and then cancer. Grandma Leah had Alzheimers and heart trouble, I know Jacob and Al had diabetes, Type II. My older brother Michael died at two months from an enlarged heart. Notes for OLLIE FRANKLIN CULVER: When he was just a boy, he was messing around with an umbrella wire and a bow and shot at his grandpa John Culver's turkey. He got it, much to his surprise and had to hurry and bury it so he wouldn't get a "whippin'." Ollie was said to have went to school with all his half brothers and sisters. He was raised by his grandpa John Culver and his step grandma, Emma. He spent a lot of time with his uncle George also. It was said he only had a 3 year education in the schools. He was sharp and read the newspaper from front to back every day. He dearly loved his kids. It was said that he was a pushover and his wife Leah did most of the disciplining. He liked his coffee boiling hot and would eat his pancakes with bacon grease poured over the top. Ollie enlisted in the Army on March 17, 1906. He served in the Philippines, China, during WWI and during the Mexican War of 1915. He also spent some time in Texas helping to chase Poncho Villa down. He was in Co. F, 37th Inf., Presidio, Camp Fulton, Texas. He served under General Bell. We have pictures of him with his team and wagon in the army, and several of him on horseback. While he was there his wife's sixth cousin DeWitt Clinton Weld born in 1868 was also in Texas at the time Ollie was in 1916 in a New York Guard Unit. He was a major at the time, and in 1920, Dewitt was made Brigadier General and placed in command of the reorganized 52nd Field Artillery Association, only two Nat. Guard Officers from the entire United States being permitted to serve on this board. Ike Eisenhower was stationed in San Antonio in 1915 also. Ike was Leah's 5th cousin twice removed. During WWI he was with the American Expeditionary Force which saw duty in England and France in 1918. He was a sharpshooter, you got extra pay for that, and with his large family, he needed it. He was a Master Sgt. and was a cook in the army. He could dance, play the harmonica and sing. He served in the Philippines also. He was also a ROTC instructor at Chadsey High, 5335 Martin in Detroit, Michigan. He got a commendation, Aug 3, 1940 saying "Technical Sergeant Ollie F. Culver, R-2022569 DEML (ROTC), Detroit High Schools, Detroit, Michigan, has been on duty at this headquarters in charge of personnel work. During this period of time, Sergeant Culver has shown himself to be conscientious, trustworthy and dependable in the discharge of his duties and his untiring efforts in the handling of his work has been a large factor in making this camp a success." By J.V. Stark, Lt. Cpl., Inf, Executive. During the Prohibition, [1932?] Ollie served as a West Virginia Trooper. His main job was hunting down bootleggers. On one occasion they had caught a drunk who saved his own skin by telling Ollie where he had gotten the liquor. The tip led the Troopers to a cabin back in the woods. They met the old lady of the house who adamantly refused to let the Troopers in. Finally she consented and allowed them to enter. She stood in the middle of the room ironing furiously, cursing and complaining while they investigated her cabin. Their search was to no avail and they sat for a moment. Then it dawned on Ollie that the lady was ironing nervously. He noticed that she was also standing on a large oval rug and he suddenly realized what was going on. They asked her to move and sure enough there was a trap door underneath. They opened the trap door revealing the still they were looking for. Case closed. Ollie and another Trooper would sit on a porch each day watching vehicles cross a bridge. A particularly peculiar bounce was an indication of a whisky transport and when they saw a vehicle bounce that way, they would hop on their motorcycles and chase them down. One day they saw a truck with a large load of lumber go by, then return after a while. They thought, now that's a big load of lumber. The next day they saw the same truck with the same load of lumber, and decided to pull it over. They looked the truck over but found nothing unusual. Ollie thought about it for a moment and figured that the bed of the truck was unusually deep. He checked and discovered the hidden bins of whiskey. And there was the time he and his partner were chasing a vehicle. Ollie always rode in the side car of the motorcycle. This time the bolt came loose, and unbeknownst to the driver, the side car took a little detour down an embankment, clear across a field and smack dab into a fence. It was when his partner turned to say something to Ollie that he realized Ollie was no longer attached to the motorcycle and had to break off the chase to go looking for him. It was while Ollie was working there that Grandma was able to acquire her only expensive hat and dress, worth two hundred dollars at the time. However, Ollie was forced to quit as it was getting very dangerous. He retired as a master sergeant in 1940 and went to work as a civilian guard at Romulus Airport in Detroit, MI. He moved to Prescott in 1944. Ollie died at Fort Whipple Hospital at 9:30 a.m. Services were held at Whipple Chapel by Chaplain Paulding B. Forry. His buriel was in Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.

WV State Troopers 1928: The Division of Motor Vehicles was authorized to hire 20 additional inspectors at an annual salary of $1,200. Five hundred applications were received and the Virginia Highway Patrol grew to a total of 51. These new employees were the first to receive indoctrination and training by Director Hayes. This first training was held in a committee room in the old hall of the House of Delegates. Motor vehicle operation was clearly not on the agenda as it is stated that one new inspector was issued a 1928 Ford which he could not drive because it had a "shifter" and he had never driven an automobile with a shift. It was insisted that he take the vehicle to his appointed station at West Point. This was completed with a chauffeur and upon arrival, the inspector was taught how to drive by the local chief of police. The uniform was now Oxford gray, with dark blue stripe and trimmings. Riding boots and a visor cap set off the blouse and breeches. In addition to highway patrol and the enforcement of motor vehicle statutes, the inspectors began pursuing traffickers of illegal whiskey. Hundreds of violators were apprehended during prohibition days. Many pursuits ensued over paved roads, dirt roads and paths through woods. Members of the Division of Motor Vehicles recommended that legislation be enacted requiring operators of motor vehicles to undergo an examination to determine their ability to drive. If the test was successfully completed a license to drive was to be issued, and this legislation marked the first issuance of drivers’ licenses in Virginia. Ollie was 75 when he died. He served 35 years. But got credit for 40 because of his time in the Philipines. iv. MARGUERITE MURIEL DODDER, b. December 25, 1901, Duran, Michigan; d. February 07, 1965; m. (1) JACK MCKENNA; m.

The story is told of he and his brother Al being quite the charactors. On Halloween, they would pull over the out houses. Once, they took a farmers buggy apart and reassembled it on the roof of his barn. It took quite a while and when they were finished, to thier surprise, the farmer was waiting in the shadows. He said, "That was a good trick. Now get up there and take it apart and bring it back down and put it back together again." He carried a shotgun for extra emphasis. A notice was found in the Iosco County News [East Towas, Mich.] on Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1965, a notice in the News of the Hale Area, 'Our condolence to the family of Jake Dodder.

EARNEST J.9 DODDER (JACOB STRUBLE8, MARGARET7 STRUBLE, JACOB PETER6, JOHANN PETER5, JOHANN DIETRICH4, ANDREAS3, PETER2, GEORGE1) was born September 23, 1878, and died Bef. 1930 in Oregan. He married VIOLET WHITMER. She was born May 15, 1885. Notes for EARNEST J. DODDER: Sarah Mann Dodder, Earnest's mother gave him a book called 'History of Genesee County in which we find three pages at least concerning the Dodder family. Earnest's wife Violet gave the book to Leah Dodder Culver who in turn gave it to Betty Culver Wertenberger who in turn gave it to me, Janice Wertenberger McCarty. Here is some of the history outlined in the book starting on page 22. In the year 1836, a council was held at Washington by Henry R. Schoolcraft, U. S. Commissioner, with principal chiefs of the Chippewa and Ottawa nations, by which those nations ceded to the U. S. all the remaining part of the lower peninsula to which the Indian title had not held before [except for a few reservations]. The treaty was signed On he 28th of March and proclaimed on the 27th of May 1836. In 1837, the treaty was amended on the 27th of December in which the tribe was given land near the headwaters of the Osage river, right where the city of Flint now stands. Jacob Smith owned land that was granted to him in the treaty of 1819. He had married a Chippewa. He was a German and a native of Quebec, Canada. He came into the area before the war of 1812 began. That was about the time that Tecumseh had everything up to a high pitch. He worked with the Saginaw Indians to see what side they would take. They were found out at one point and had to flee for their lives. They fled through where Flint now stands and down to the area where Groveland is around the Big Springs where he and his companions separated. Jacob when going through a thicket received an eye injury which caused him to go blind in that eye. His wife died in 1817. In 1819, he built near the place Flint now stands. He had a home and store in a log house, which stood near the river band on the 'burnt plain' of Muscatawingh. Jacob Smith was known as Wahbesin, which means the young swan. He was a kind, generous and honest man. He was very brave and loyal to the United States. He was very good friends with the Saginaw chief Neome, from the village of Pewonigowink. Neome had a brother named Mixanene who had a daughter Tawcumegoqua who married in 1830 an Indian Kahzheauzagh and they had three children. Neome had three children, two girls named, Sagosaqua and Owanonaquatoqua, and a son Ogibwok and a grandson named Metawanene. In 1820 President Monroe had the eleven tracts surveyed and located on both sides of the Flint River at its southernmost bend, at and near the Indian crossing place known as the Grand Traverse. The north tracts were owned primarily by Jacob Smith and one tract on the south by Catharine Mene, Phillis Beaufait, Jean Visger, F. E. Campau. When Jacob Smith died in 1825 at the Grand Traverse, he left 5 children. He lived in Res. No. 2 called Metawanene on the north and right of the southern most bend of the Flint River. Major John Garland [later a general] and Jacob's son in law took possession after Jacob's death. In 1835, Jacob's son Albert J. Smith acted on behalf of his three surviving sisters and the heirs of his deceased sister Caroline and took possession of the land of Metawanene in 1835. The sisters were named Messawwakut or Harriet M. Smith, Sagosequa or Caroline Smith, Annoketoqu, or Louisa L. Smith and Nondashmau or Maria G. Smith and Albert or Metawanene. The justice of the peace for Oakland county in 1835 was Ephraim S. Williams, Esquire. He had a brother Gardner D. Williams. A Thomas Simpson or Lixaboga was living there with the Chippewas to teach them agriculture at the expense of the government. Two interpreters there were Jacob Gravradt and Charles H. Rodd. Ephraim spoke excellent Chippewa. The head Chippewa chief there at the time was Chief Ogemawkeketo. A big dispute arose over the land and a trial had to be held to determine the rightful owners. Other early settlers in the area were, a French trader named Bolieu or Kesegans and married a Chippewa woman, his daughter was Angelique or Tawcumegoqua who married a Frenchman named Coutant and settled near Connor's Creek, in Hamtramck, Wayne County. They had two children, Simon and Angelique Coutant. Angelique married Nicholas Chauvin. After Coutant died, married Jean Baptiste St. Aubin. . He had a few assistant or Coureurs de bois [forest runners] with him. Another French trader was Tremble [Trembley]. Conrad Ten Eyck was a trader around the time Jacob Smith was. Louis Campau was a trader around 1815. His brother, Antoine came about the same time and Baptiste Cochios had his trading post on the Flint River. General Riley of Schenectady, NY came close after the war of 1812-1815. Archibald Lyons married an indian and one of his daughters was named Elizabeth. Henry Conners was an interpreter at the treaty held in 1819 Mr. Williams wrote that the Saginaws would congregate every spring to put up dried sturgeon, which they made into a very delicate dish. They would select the best, flay them, hang them across poles in rows about four feet from the ground and two feet apart, then a gentle smoke was kept under them until they were perfectly dry. Jacob Dodder and Sarah Mann came to Michigan, Oakland County in 1837, from New Jersey with their parents.

Notes for MARY LOUISE SIMMONS: The school teacher for Jakey, Helen and Zoe the first year was Scott Martin. Church and Sunday school were held at the school house too. Only one neighbor would not attend church. Her name was Nellie. She had red hair. She wouldn't come unless she had a surrey. Her dad once bought her a 14 karat gold pencil. The Old Santa Fe Trail or Jornada Del Muerte, the Journey of the Dead, as it was known by the early plainsmen because so many bones had whitened there, bones of people, horses, Oxen and buffalo went by the old Dodder homestead. There were coal mines near Scranton, Kansas. Her husband used to drive out there from The Hill to get coal to burn. He would go out one day and back the next. Notes for HARMAN VEDDER THOMPSON: He was born at his grandfather Thompson's place. They lived for a while at Jim Preston's two roomed house near 'The Hill', and then moved in with Louise's parents on 'The Hill'. They later moved to the old Roy place across the road, which was Louise's grandmother's home at one time. It was two storied and pink. It was on the south side of the Santa Fe Trail among the red maples. His boyhood home was in Twin Mounds NW of where 'The Hill' was. They later rented some land near his parents home and the kids would walk two miles to school. He grew his own tobacco and would blow it in his children's ears to cure the earache. He could blow big and little rings with his smoke. He would cut the neighbor's hair for free. He was very kind and would invite travelers in to warm themselves by the fire and serve them coffee. If it was very cold, he would invite them to sleep by the fire. He was baptized in a pond near Rock Creek close to the church. _________________________________________________ JOHN SMITH, farmer, Section 9, P. O.

Notes for ZOE DENTLER THOMPSON: Zoe wrote the book about the Kansas Dodders called, "The Hill or Simmons Point". She was a member of the D.A.R., a life member of the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas, and a member of the Institute of American Genealogy. She was named after her mother's best girl friend, Zoe Rothrock and after Emma Dentler of her father's family. After the white frame building was built in Lapeer, they quit going to the old one. Zoe Thompson, a distant cousin wrote about growing up in Kansas and wrote once about going to the same school that her father had attended. It was on old stone one roomed building that sat on a hill beside the road leading to Twin Mound. The scenic beauty was outstanding. The countryside was hilly and picturesque, with creeks and winding roads. Many trees and orchards interspersed with sumac lent color and beauty to the scene. A well drained playground and on the north and west, lush pastures surrounding it added their beauty to the old schoolhouse as it stood through the years. Once, while outside Zoe looked up and noticed the letters H.V.T. printed plainly in the extreme high point of the gable on the cornice board. She remembering how her father had cautioned her about marring the seats and how he had often told her that: "Fools' names like fools' faces are always seen in public places.," She just couldn't believe her dad had done that! After school, while they were going past the bend, the boys went across the stone fence into an apple orchard. It wasn't their orchard. What right had they to gather those apples? Zoe would ask Daddy before she ate them. As the three children neared home, Zoe saw her papa working on a shed for the cattle. She cut a corner to get there, and out of breath she asked, "Papa, did you ever cut your initials in the cornice of the school building?" Remembering that he had always cautioned them to tell the truth, he replied, "Yes, I did." "Why did you do that, Papa?" Zoe looked worried. "Well, my sweet, have you ever seen a picture tattooed on a man's arm? Every man I've ever talked with tells me he is sorry and would never have it done if he could decide again. It's that way with my initials. I'd never do it again, but it's there and I can't change it now. I'm sorry. One should decide whether or not he might regret an action before he does it. Then he won't need to feel as I do now." Her father looked really sorry for what he had done so long ago. "Another thing, Papa, is it right for the boys to go over in the orchard across from the Jenkins house and eat those apples when they don't own them?" Zoe inquired. "Run along. I'll think about it and tell you this evening," he smiled. The subject of old Grandma Jenkins smoking a clay pipe was being discussed that evening. Old Grandma had been sitting in her rocker, and the children had seen her silhouette as she sat on the back porch, and they were sure she was smoking. Louise offered a possible explanation. "Perhaps she was just sitting there knitting." Three young voices piped up at once, "But we saw her smoking!" Then Louise said to her little ones, "You know Granny Jenkins is very old. it's different when you are old and crippled." Just then the door opened and Papa came in ready for supper. Mama got up to start the evening meal. "O yes," Papa began, "about those apples by the school-I saw about them this evening. The owner lives in Lawrence. He doesn't farm the land himself, but he has advertised the apples, and there doesn't seem to be any demand for them. All the families seem to have what they need. You children may eat them. They are lying thick on the ground. don't pick from the branches; just eat those on the ground." *taken from the book The Hill or Simmons Point by Zoe Dentler Thompson who was my mother's 2nd cousin once removed and is my 2nd cousin twice removed. Zoe's great grandfather was Peter Dodder, who was Leah Dodder Culver's great grandfather also v. JACOB ELROY THOMPSON, b. May 1893, The Hill, Osage County, Kansas; d. 1960, Montezuma, Kansas; m.

They broke open the shells and hung them on the plow! The school teacher for Jakey, Helen and Zoe the first year was Scott Martin. Church and Sunday school were held at the school house too.

His mother was over protective. Of course, this was because of Icky's death. On June 6th, 1944, D Day, John graduated from West Point. It was all a blur to his mother, Mamie, who had heard of the D Day invasion that her husband was in charge of, that very morning. This message was read before the class of almost five hundred. It was sent by John's father, General Eisenhower. "Clearly and soberly recognizing the sterness of the tasks still ahead of us in this war, we face them calmly and with confidence, because of our trust in divine Providence and our faith in America and in her young leaders, upon whose shoulders the heaviest burdens habitually fall. We know that in the soldierly qualities of devotion to duty, character and skill, you will measure up to the high standards and examples daily being set by your contemporaries from all walks of life, who are carrying on the work in which you will soon be engaged." After lunch that day, John received his orders and left within a few hours on the 'Queen Mary' headed for the war zone. He was Brigadier General A.U.S., Ret.
