1301	State Tax Bill, Owned 1/8 interest in saw mill.	STANWOOD, Benjamin Bradstreet (I1493)
1302	Stephen S. Johnston was most likely the son of Benjamin and Sally (Moore) Johnston. According to Percy Johnston, who wrote the the years of birth and names of spouses for the children of Benjamin and Sally (Moore) Johnston, the pair had a son named Stephen born in 1814 and who married Sarah [-?-]. Sawtelle’s Medford Revisited includes a biography of Elijah Johnston, Stephen’s presumed brother, and it states Elijah’s parents moved to Kilmarnock (now Medford), Maine in 1808. This is consistent with census records, in which Benjamin, son Elijah and Benjamin’s brother Rufus B. Johnston are enumerated in Kilmarnock in 1820. Rufus B. Johnston is buried in Upper Ferry Cemetery, where Aaron and Martha (Tibbetts) Day are also buried. Rufus was one of the founding members of the Milo Free-Will Baptist Church in Milo, Maine, along with Aaron Day. Rufus and Benjamin’s grand uncle, Ephraim Ballard, was husband to Martha (Moore) Ballard, the midwife who kept the diary. Ephraim and Martha lived in Hallowell, Maine.

Went to Arvin Calif. moved around and at 16 I was in ElPaso Texas and after a few months I left and went back to my home town of Brownwood ,Texas, Could not find a job and joined the army at 17 years and 2 months. So I joined the army. Was sent to a map drafting school. Requested a transfer to the paratroopers. Was transferred to the 101st airborne division . Went to jump school and made my last jump in jump school on December 16, 1959. At that date I received my jump wings." Question: How long in Viet Nam? Answer via text msg: "I was in the 7th special forces for the 2 six month Tours and the other 2 tours as a paratrooper in the 101 st airborne Divison" Was delivered by his grandfather due to severe storm the night he was born. Phone call 12/20/15 Dad always lived with grandparents, Joseph and Annabelle. When he was in first grade, his mother, Josie, wanted him to come live with her, and so he went to Miami where she lived and worked. (She had been a telephone company operator.) She was near the base, and decided to join the army, but couldn’t with a child, so dad went back to his grandparents, and then they legally adopted him. Dad never knew his own father, Henderson “Cye” Buford. When he was about 12, his father Cye sent one of his sisters over to say he wanted to see him. Joseph and Annabelle left dad decide, and he rode his motorcycle over to go visit Cye. Dad grew up knowing his cousin Margaret and they rode on the same bus. When he was young he didn’t really understand why they didn’t really talk or have a relationship, but when he got older he did. As an adult he got together with his half sibling, Jackie (who sent me the pictures of Cye) and a half-brother. However, Jackie and the brother ‘got into it’ and he didn’t see them again, although he did see the cousin Margaret he knew from his childhood.

In 1943 we moved to Brownwood . My mother (Josie ) and Daddy both worked at A Army base called Camp Bowie at Brownwood. She met a soldier named Paul knowers there and married him. In 1945 , war is over they closed the Camp Bowie and Josie and her husband moved to Miami whet he was from.

I told her I would get her moved back to Arizona but that I could not get her then moved back to Texas. So we bought her a plane ticket and packed her stuff up and shipped it to her. That was in about 2005 I think. She died about 2008. I hope this is as close as I remember it.” Text message 7/22/17: The Beginning of Gods timing for Wayne and Lauren. 1. I was in a special school in Virginia for Special Forces , it started August of 1964 and on the night of Sept 1, 1964 l could not even start to go to sleep. At about 2:00 AM I got up and got dressed and went for a walk around the base I was on and after a 1--/2 hour walk I came back and once again tried to sleep , no such luck . I tried reading the material for the classes I was in but still could not think strait or stay focus on what I was reading. It's now about 4:15 AM . I remember saying "I need help" .......

My statement was I had to go and would have to go AWOL if he could not let me go. His reply was to go on to class and think over what I was going to do. At 9:00 he showed up and said to come with him. Outside he told me he would give me a Fake leave paper and for me to get my ( &$@$$?) back as soon as posable.

Thats 6000 miles for a 5 min. look at you. You were worth it. Love you my dear "Baby Girl"	ROGERS, Reginald Wayne (I1081)
1322	Thanks to Obed's military service in the civil war, we learn a considerable bit about this man who lived to the remarkable age of 92. The names of his parents, William Sisco and Ruth Fox, were included on the "New York, Town Clerks' Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War, ca 1861-1865." His date of birth is somewhat questionable. His gravestone states a date of birth of October 14th, 1805; however, his pension and other documents state his birth as November 14th. In 1887, 11 years prior to his death, Obed penned a brief history of his life in the autograph book of his granddaughter, Rosalia, whom he called "Malrosa." It is transcribed as written, without correction in grammar or punctuation: Malrosa you wanted that I should right sumthing in this book and ___. I will give a full histrey of my trvel from first to last in the first place I was born in the toun of farfield franklin co and state of vermont I always remand there I was born on the 14th day of november 1805 until 1843 then I came to moira franklin co state of new york I stade thare until 1862 then I enlisted and went to the war and after I got threw with that in 1875 I went wisconsen and the next July I came hear in 1876 and I am hear yet now I ges that is all that you want to no. Obed was first married to Mina Wilson in February 1827. (The exact day of the month on the marriage document is illegible.) Sometime after they exchanged vows, the couple crossed the border into Canada where their oldest daughter, Achsa, was born in Sutton. It is unclear when or where Obed married his second wife, Mrs. Emaline (Wilson) Lincoln. We do know he was married before 1841, when his daughter Emily (Sisco) Patterson was born in Jay, VT, and after the birth of Emaline's son Henry Lincoln in 1839. (It is from Emily's obituary we learn that she was the daughter of this second marriage, and the maiden name of her mother.) It seems likely that Mina and Emaline were sisters. However, a bit of conflicting information the date of this second marriage is found in the affidavit of his daughter, Achsa (Sisco) Simpson, provided May 7, 1898, when she provided information to the pension office to assist her step-mother in obtaining a pension after Obed's death. Achsa states, "His first wife name was Emaline Lincoln he married her about 1846 and she died about 1880." Given that 50 years had elapsed, and there was no need for absolute accuracy, it seems likely that the details and specific years were gone from Achsa's memory. One can also assume that given the difficulty in obtaining a widow's pension, Achsa also omitted the fact that Emaline was Obed's second wife, not his first. In 1840, Obed "Scisco" is enumerated in Jay, Orleans County, VT. Also enumerated on the same page are Asa Willson and William "Scisco," who would be about the right age to be Obed's father. We know that the Siscos moved from Vermont to the Moira, N.Y. area between 1843-1846. (Daughter Emily's obituary stated she was five when they left Vermont.) On August 6, 1862, fifty-six year old Obed enlisted in Co. H of the 106th New York Regiment of U.S. Volunteer soldiers at Moira, Franklin Couny, N.Y. He is described as 5' 7", fair complexion with blue eyes and dark hair, occupation farmer. He served nearly 1 1/2 years of his 3-year year enlistment, but had apparently spent nearly five months hospitalized after being injured by an overturned ammunition wagon on July 4, 1863. He returned to duty December 7, 1863, with a discharge on December 31st "because of infirmities of age." From Obed's entry in his granddaughter's autograph book we know he moved on to Wisconsin, joining other members of his family, including daughter Achsa (Sisco) Simpson. It appears that Emaline did not travel with him, as we learn from an article in the Malone Palladium newspaper that Emaline died in Moira, New York, July 24, 1881, as a result from burns received when lightning struck the room where she was sitting, at the home of her son, Henry Lincoln.	SISCO, Obed (I1101)
1323	The 1800 census lists a male 45 and over, making his birth on or before 1745.	WASGATT, Thomas (I1362)
1324	The 1820 census states one person in household involved in manufacture and in commerce. His death record states his occupation as "sea captain." Eben Hamor calls Thomas "John Thomas" and states he is called Thomas 3rd in town records; however, the town records reflect that John Thomas is actually the son of Thomas Wasgatt Jr.'s second wife, Hannah Thomas.	WASGATT, Thomas (I746)
1325	The 1900 census states that Allie was the mother of four (4) children, three (3) living.	BOWDIN, Allie M (I2186)
1326	The 1910 census states Gunhild "Julia" had 11 children. Nine were listed on the emigration register in 1893. Only 4 were reported alive at the time of the census in 1910.	LANDE, Gunhild Antonsdatter (I1945)
1327	The Accident Proved Fatal George F. Garnett succumbs as a result of injuries received Monday. Sank rapidly after being taken to Luther Hospital where death ensued. The injuries which George F. Garnett received on Monday morning as a result of endeavoring to stop a Standard Oil company team, which he was driving and which started to run away, proved fatal at 12 o'clock last night. Mr. Garnett passed away at the Luther hospital, where he was taken immediately following the accident. The accident happened almost in front of the Jeager grocery store in the upper part of the Ninth ward. Mr. Garnett had gone into the store to transact business and had left the team standing in front of the store. A street car came along and it is said that, being frightened by the car, they bolted. Mr. Garnett saw them start, however, and ran after them. He slipped as he was about to take hold of the bridle of one of the horses, falling in such a position as to allow the heavy wagon to pass over his body. The conveyance carries a heavy steel boiler, which was nearly filled with oil at the time. Mr. Garnett was unable to arise. Help soon came and upon picking him up and examining him at the hospital, it was found seven ribs, and his collar bone, were broken. He was also injured to some extent internally, the latter being thought to be the direct cause of his death. Mr. Garnett resided at 836 Broadway, and from which place the funeral will be held.	GARNETT, George Frank (I1669)
1328	The baby book of Patrica Marie Jon Uphouse includes a genealogy of the Uphouse family; Patricia's father (Harold) or grandfather (Charles Madison) apparently provided the details that were written in the hand of Goldie Simpson Uphouse. Baltzer Walter's wife, and mother of Caroline Martha Walter Uphouse, was listed as Elizabeth Lenhart. However, censuses beginning in 1850 give Baltzer's wife's first name as Hannah. The assumption has been made, until proven otherwise, that Hannah's maiden surname was Lenhart/Linhart.	LENHART, Hannah (I1462)
1329	The Bar Harbor Town Clerk recorded Solomon & Jane's fourth daughter as "Polly", born December 1826. The day of the month was not legible, so details have been taken from Bolton's History of the Stanwood Family in America.	STANWOOD, Sarah "Polly" Hamor (I2146)
1330	The Bar Harbor Town Clerk was unable to locate this record in her database; however, the delayed record was listed on Ancestry.com, and John & Hannah are found together on the 1860-1880 censuses.	Family: John HAMOR / Hannah STANWOOD (F620)

Stiegel's parents came here in response to word that their son had killed his wife and then committed suicide. They said that Stiegel had been erratic at times. They said that Steigel blamed their troubles on the unfaithfulness of his wife, and the interference of E. L. Simpson, proprieter of the restaurant.	SIMPSON, Ernest Loren (I1524)

1335	The details provided in Walter's obituary give a glimpse of his life. He was a watchman of the Caldwell city water supply during World War II. "He had also worked at the Idaho Egg Producers for nine years, and had done masonry work. He was a veteran of World War I, and was a member of the Caldwell Odd Fellows Lodge No. 10." Photo of Walter was obtained from John L. Merkle, whose mother had it with a photo album originally owned by her cousin Mallen, husband of Caroline Uphouse (Walter’s niece).	UPHOUSE, Walter C (I1310)
1336	The Ellsworth American provided date of marriage as 15 Feb 1873; however, the date provided by the marriage record, 6 Feb 1873, has been utilized for the marriage of this couple.	Family: Ambrose H WASGATT / Adelma MCFARLAND (F584)
1337	The following biography was taken from "The National cyclopaedia of American Biography,": SCOTT, Francis Eugene, lumberman, was born in Lincoln county. Me., Dec. 13, 1848, son of John C. and Mary (Stanwood) Scott, of New England colonial ancestry and of Scotch descent. He was educated in the grammar and high schools of Maine ami Minnesota. He gained his experi- ence in lumbering operations under the direction of his father, who was a pioneer in the trade in the upper Mississippi valley. At the age of nine- teen the son began independent logging and tim- ber operations, with headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn., where lie remained until 1889. He then re- moved to the Pacific northwest, locating at Seat- tle, Wash. The great demand for lumber after the city's destruction by fire, led him to embark in extensive cutting and milling operations on Lake Washington, with headquarters at Columbia City, and he became a dominant factor in the re- building of Seattle. He continued in the lumber business until his death and was rated as an au- thority on the timber resources of the country and the value of such properties in the Pacific north- west. He had holdings in several states and in British Columbia. In politics he was a Repub- lican. Associated from his youth with the lead- ing men in the lumber industry, his innate abilities made him a prominent figure in the trade in the northwestern country. lie was married at Mon- tecello, Minn., Oct. 18, 1870, to Clara, daughter of Philip Boyden, a lumberman, of Roddenstonn, Me., and left one child, Minnie, widow of Harry Jones, of Los Angeles, Cal. He died in Seattle, Wash., May 23, 1917.	SCOTT, Frances Eugene (I1060)

1342	The home of Mrs. Carrie Uphouse was badly damaged by fire Thursday evening, the building and contents being practically ruined. Mrs. Uphouse had not been feeling well and a granddaughter, Mrs. Eaglin, of Hastings, who was visiting her, was preparing supper. Mrs. Eaglin went out of doors for a minute and Mrs. Uphouse thought she would see if the supper needed attention. She had just entered the kitchen when the coal oil stove exploded, throwing burning oil over everything. Mrs. Uphouse's dress caught fire but she snatched a rug from the floor and smothered the flames. Mrs. Uphouse is the widow of a civil war veteran.	WALTER, Caroline Martha (I1756)

Stephen S. Johnston was most likely the son of Benjamin and Sally (Moore) Johnston. According to Percy Johnston, who wrote the the years of birth and names of spouses for the children of Benjamin and Sally (Moore) Johnston, the pair had a son named Stephen born in 1814 and who married Sarah [-?-]. Sawtelle’s Medford Revisited includes a biography of Elijah Johnston, Stephen’s presumed brother, and it states Elijah’s parents moved to Kilmarnock (now Medford), Maine in 1808. This is consistent with census records, in which Benjamin, son Elijah and Benjamin’s brother Rufus B. Johnston are enumerated in Kilmarnock in 1820. Rufus B. Johnston is buried in Upper Ferry Cemetery, where Aaron and Martha (Tibbetts) Day are also buried. Rufus was one of the founding members of the Milo Free-Will Baptist Church in Milo, Maine, along with Aaron Day. Rufus and Benjamin’s grand uncle, Ephraim Ballard, was husband to Martha (Moore) Ballard, the midwife who kept the diary. Ephraim and Martha lived in Hallowell, Maine.

Dad always lived with grandparents, Joseph and Annabelle. When he was in first grade, his mother, Josie, wanted him to come live with her, and so he went to Miami where she lived and worked. (She had been a telephone company operator.) She was near the base, and decided to join the army, but couldn’t with a child, so dad went back to his grandparents, and then they legally adopted him.

Dad never knew his own father, Henderson “Cye” Buford. When he was about 12, his father Cye sent one of his sisters over to say he wanted to see him. Joseph and Annabelle left dad decide, and he rode his motorcycle over to go visit Cye.

Dad grew up knowing his cousin Margaret and they rode on the same bus. When he was young he didn’t really understand why they didn’t really talk or have a relationship, but when he got older he did. As an adult he got together with his half sibling, Jackie (who sent me the pictures of Cye) and a half-brother. However, Jackie and the brother ‘got into it’ and he didn’t see them again, although he did see the cousin Margaret he knew from his childhood.

In 1943 we moved to Brownwood . My mother (Josie ) and Daddy both worked at A Army base called Camp Bowie at Brownwood. She met a soldier named Paul knowers there and married him. In 1945 , war is over they closed the Camp Bowie and Josie and her husband moved to Miami whet he was from.

6 months . They broke up and she and I moved back to Brownwood, Texas. Lived with my mommy and daddy. Then she joined the Army and mommy and daddy adopted me. She married a guy named
George Wederski who was in the Army. Korea war was over and they moved to Texas. He went back in the Army and retired from it and died somewhere around 1988 . She moved back to Texas and lived in Temple Texas. About 120 miles from us in Dallas. I spent a lot of weekends going to Temple to fix her situations, getting her to doctor or what ever. She stayed there and kept talking about wanting to move back to Arizona with her daughter. I told her I would get her moved back to Arizona but that I could not get her then moved back to Texas. So we bought her a plane ticket and packed her stuff up and shipped it to her. That was in about 2005 I think. She died about 2008. I hope this is as close as I remember it.”

The Beginning of Gods timing for Wayne and Lauren.
1. I was in a special school in Virginia for Special Forces , it started August of 1964 and on the night of Sept 1, 1964 l could not even start to go to sleep. At about 2:00 AM I got up and got dressed and went for a walk around the base I was on and after a 1--/2 hour walk I came back and once again tried to sleep , no such luck . I tried reading the material for the classes I was in but still could not think strait or stay focus on what I was reading. It's now about 4:15 AM . I remember saying "I need help" ....... I did not know
God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirt in any kind of a spiritual way. However I remember sensing I had to go to California some how or some way. Did not know why except I new my wife was
Having a child soon .
At 7:00 AM Sept 2,1964 I was in my Company
Office waiting to see my company Commander. At his arrival I request to speed to him. I told him I did not know why but I had to go to Calif.
He said I was not permitted to have leave while in this School. My statement was I had to go and would have to go AWOL if he could not let me go. His reply was to go on to class and think over what I was going to do. At 9:00 he showed up and said to come with him. Outside he told me he would give me a
Fake leave paper and for me to get my ( &$@$$?) back as soon as posable. I went back and packed a small bag and left for a air force base close by . There I caught a plane to ElPaso and by 6:00 PM I was there . With in a hour I was on another plane to some base close to riverside . Caught a bus To close to where Patricia's mother lived . And I hitch hiked to her mother house. It's now Sept. 3, 1964.
When her mother came to the door she just said , "Come on in here new daddy".
We went to the hospital and you my little one was in the room with your mother. After about 5 min. We were all ask to step out for a little bit. During this short time You grand mother came out and a sweat as can be said Pat wants you to leave and not to come back.
I never got to hold you or any of those kid of things. I caught a ride to a bus station and on back to the Air Force base . With in 2 hours I was on a C-130 headed to Washington DC. On Sept. 4 th I was back in
My school worn out and thanked my Commander for what he had done for me.
You see this is the way we started . 3000 miles to see you and 3000 miles back to my base . Thats 6000 miles for a 5 min. look at you. You were worth it.
Love you my dear "Baby Girl"

Thanks to Obed's military service in the civil war, we learn a considerable bit about this man who lived to the remarkable age of 92. The names of his parents, William Sisco and Ruth Fox, were included on the "New York, Town Clerks' Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War, ca 1861-1865." His date of birth is somewhat questionable. His gravestone states a date of birth of October 14th, 1805; however, his pension and other documents state his birth as November 14th.

In 1887, 11 years prior to his death, Obed penned a brief history of his life in the autograph book of his granddaughter, Rosalia, whom he called "Malrosa." It is transcribed as written, without correction in grammar or punctuation:

Malrosa you wanted that I should right sumthing in this book and ___. I will give a full histrey of my trvel from first to last in the first place I was born in the toun of farfield franklin co and state of vermont I always remand there I was born on the 14th day of november 1805 until 1843 then I came to moira franklin co state of new york I stade thare until 1862 then I enlisted and went to the war and after I got threw with that in 1875 I went wisconsen and the next July I came hear in 1876 and I am hear yet now I ges that is all that you want to no.

Obed was first married to Mina Wilson in February 1827. (The exact day of the month on the marriage document is illegible.) Sometime after they exchanged vows, the couple crossed the border into Canada where their oldest daughter, Achsa, was born in Sutton. It is unclear when or where Obed married his second wife, Mrs. Emaline (Wilson) Lincoln. We do know he was married before 1841, when his daughter Emily (Sisco) Patterson was born in Jay, VT, and after the birth of Emaline's son Henry Lincoln in 1839. (It is from Emily's obituary we learn that she was the daughter of this second marriage, and the maiden name of her mother.) It seems likely that Mina and Emaline were sisters. However, a bit of conflicting information the date of this second marriage is found in the affidavit of his daughter, Achsa (Sisco) Simpson, provided May 7, 1898, when she provided information to the pension office to assist her step-mother in obtaining a pension after Obed's death. Achsa states, "His first wife name was Emaline Lincoln he married her about 1846 and she died about 1880." Given that 50 years had elapsed, and there was no need for absolute accuracy, it seems likely that the details and specific years were gone from Achsa's memory. One can also assume that given the difficulty in obtaining a widow's pension, Achsa also omitted the fact that Emaline was Obed's second wife, not his first.

In 1840, Obed "Scisco" is enumerated in Jay, Orleans County, VT. Also enumerated on the same page are Asa Willson and William "Scisco," who would be about the right age to be Obed's father.

We know that the Siscos moved from Vermont to the Moira, N.Y. area between 1843-1846. (Daughter Emily's obituary stated she was five when they left Vermont.)

On August 6, 1862, fifty-six year old Obed enlisted in Co. H of the 106th New York Regiment of U.S. Volunteer soldiers at Moira, Franklin Couny, N.Y. He is described as 5' 7", fair complexion with blue eyes and dark hair, occupation farmer. He served nearly 1 1/2 years of his 3-year year enlistment, but had apparently spent nearly five months hospitalized after being injured by an overturned ammunition wagon on July 4, 1863. He returned to duty December 7, 1863, with a discharge on December 31st "because of infirmities of age."

From Obed's entry in his granddaughter's autograph book we know he moved on to Wisconsin, joining other members of his family, including daughter Achsa (Sisco) Simpson. It appears that Emaline did not travel with him, as we learn from an article in the Malone Palladium newspaper that Emaline died in Moira, New York, July 24, 1881, as a result from burns received when lightning struck the room where she was sitting, at the home of her son, Henry Lincoln.

The Accident Proved Fatal
George F. Garnett succumbs as a result of injuries received Monday. Sank rapidly after being taken to Luther Hospital where death ensued.
The injuries which George F. Garnett received on Monday morning as a result of endeavoring to stop a Standard Oil company team, which he was driving and which started to run away, proved fatal at 12 o'clock last night. Mr. Garnett passed away at the Luther hospital, where he was taken immediately following the accident. The accident happened almost in front of the Jeager grocery store in the upper part of the Ninth ward. Mr. Garnett had gone into the store to transact business and had left the team standing in front of the store. A street car came along and it is said that, being frightened by the car, they bolted. Mr. Garnett saw them start, however, and ran after them. He slipped as he was about to take hold of the bridle of one of the horses, falling in such a position as to allow the heavy wagon to pass over his body. The conveyance carries a heavy steel boiler, which was nearly filled with oil at the time. Mr. Garnett was unable to arise. Help soon came and upon picking him up and examining him at the hospital, it was found seven ribs, and his collar bone, were broken. He was also injured to some extent internally, the latter being thought to be the direct cause of his death. Mr. Garnett resided at 836 Broadway, and from which place the funeral will be held.

The baby book of Patrica Marie Jon Uphouse includes a genealogy of the Uphouse family; Patricia's father (Harold) or grandfather (Charles Madison) apparently provided the details that were written in the hand of Goldie Simpson Uphouse. Baltzer Walter's wife, and mother of Caroline Martha Walter Uphouse, was listed as Elizabeth Lenhart. However, censuses beginning in 1850 give Baltzer's wife's first name as Hannah. The assumption has been made, until proven otherwise, that Hannah's maiden surname was Lenhart/Linhart.

The following biography was taken from "The National cyclopaedia of American Biography,":

SCOTT, Francis Eugene, lumberman, was
born in Lincoln county. Me., Dec. 13, 1848, son
of John C. and Mary (Stanwood) Scott, of New
England colonial ancestry and of Scotch descent.
He was educated in the grammar and high schools
of Maine ami Minnesota. He gained his experi-
ence in lumbering operations under the direction
of his father, who was a pioneer in the trade in
the upper Mississippi valley. At the age of nine-
teen the son began independent logging and tim-
ber operations, with headquarters in Minneapolis,
Minn., where lie remained until 1889. He then re-
moved to the Pacific northwest, locating at Seat-
tle, Wash. The great demand for lumber after
the city's destruction by fire, led him to embark
in extensive cutting and milling operations on
Lake Washington, with headquarters at Columbia
City, and he became a dominant factor in the re-
building of Seattle. He continued in the lumber
business until his death and was rated as an au-
thority on the timber resources of the country and
the value of such properties in the Pacific north-
west. He had holdings in several states and in
British Columbia. In politics he was a Repub-
lican. Associated from his youth with the lead-
ing men in the lumber industry, his innate abilities
made him a prominent figure in the trade in the
northwestern country. lie was married at Mon-
tecello, Minn., Oct. 18, 1870, to Clara, daughter of
Philip Boyden, a lumberman, of Roddenstonn, Me.,
and left one child, Minnie, widow of Harry Jones,
of Los Angeles, Cal. He died in Seattle, Wash.,
May 23, 1917.

The home of Mrs. Carrie Uphouse was badly damaged by fire Thursday evening, the building and contents being practically ruined. Mrs. Uphouse had not been feeling well and a granddaughter, Mrs. Eaglin, of Hastings, who was visiting her, was preparing supper. Mrs. Eaglin went out of doors for a minute and Mrs. Uphouse thought she would see if the supper needed attention. She had just entered the kitchen when the coal oil stove exploded, throwing burning oil over everything. Mrs. Uphouse's dress caught fire but she snatched a rug from the floor and smothered the flames. Mrs. Uphouse is the widow of a civil war veteran.
