301	According to the War Department, George was described as 5 ft. 8 3/4 inches tall, fair complexion with light brown hair and blue eyes. His occupation was listed as hostler, also known as a groom or stableman. This was one of many jobs George undertook - he had worked at a circus at one point, but mostly did odd, handy man jobs such as painting in the latter part of his life.	BARLOW, William George (I2327)

305	Age listed 7/12, giving him DOB of January 1850	LELAND, Enos (I1078)
306	Age of 39 years, 1 month at death as recorded on headstone (per Cemeteries of Cranberry Isles and the Towns of Mount Desert Island) is clearly incorrect, as date of birth was recorded in both the family Bible and the Town Records as 22 Oct 1784, making her 59 years of age at the time of death.	WASGATT, Sarah Haynes (I1015)
307	Aged Man Dies Alone - Body of H. Gravdahl Found at Farm Several Days After Death Had Come. - H. Gravdahl was found dead in bed at his farm, eight miles south of Tomahawk, Sunday. The body was badly decomposed and it is believed he had been dead at least nine o0r ten days s. He had gone to the farm Aug. 16 and was there alone getting out some fallen timber and cutting hay. Alarmed at his failure to return to town as usual after a week’s stay at the farm, relatives began to investigate. John Valand, a son-in-law, drove to the farm Sunday and learned that death had preceded him. He found the body’s of Mr. Gravdahl lying as if in sleep in a bed in the house. There were no signs of a struggle and it is believed the4 aged man died peacefully and without suffering, probably of heart failure, with which he had been afflicted. Inquiry among the neighbors showed that the last heard of Mr. Gravdahl was on Aug. 20, when the sound of his ax had been heard. The day before he had visited the home of August Miller, a neighbor, and secured some milk. This was the last time he was seen alive. No thought of foul play is entertains and the belief is that the aged man came to his death of natural causes. The body was buried Monday in Greenwood. It was impossible to hold funeral services owing to the condition of the body. Mr. Gravdahl was 67 years old and is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter. The daughters is Mrs. John Valand of Tomahawk. Harry, one of the sons, is in Minneapolis. The other son lives in Iowa. The Gravdahl family came here about five years ago from Iowa and located on the farm where death came to the father. Lately Mr. and Mrs. Gravdahl had lived in town.	GRAVDAHL, Haldor Olsen (I370)
308	Agricultural census	WASGATT, Betsey (I807)
309	Albert consistently stated he was born on the 23rd of December. In 1908, he stated he was born in 1848, which is consistent with his age of one year reported on the 1850 census. It is also consistent with his age on the 1860 census, in which he was stated to be 11 years old. This also agrees with most later censuses in which he appears. However, in 1910, he reported he made an error in his year of birth, and stated his actual birth date was 23 December 1847. Additionally, his death certificate provides a date of birth of 23 December 1846, which is clearly inconsistent with his reported age of one year in 1850. Since the year of 1848 is most congruent with his ages when a child at a time when discrepancies would have been much more obvious, and is also consistent with the majority of censuses in which Albert is enumerated, the year of 1848 is accepted as his actual year of birth. See pension application: Albert J. Stanwood, (Private, Co. D, 20th Reg't Main Inf., Civil War) pension no. 777,866, Case Files of Approved Pension Applications..., 1861-1934; Civil War and Later Pension Files; Department of Veteran's Affairs, Record Group 15; National Archives, Washington, D.C.	STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)
310	ALBERT E. HALL, Street Commissioner of Augusta, Maine was born May 24, 1873, at China, Maine, a son of John N. and Ida F. Haskell, well-known members of the community. Albert E. Hall received his education in the public schools of China, later attending the China High School. From boyhood, Mr. Hall has always taken a keen interest in local city affairs and has been very active in the service of people. During his career he has filled with credit various positions in the administration of civic policies and he is now serving his second term as Street Commissioner of Augusta. In his political preferences he is a strong supporter of the Democratic party. Despite the manifold duties of his work Mr. Hall has contributed freely of his time to social and fraternal activities. He is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of the World, and is a member of the Kiwanis Club. Albert E. Hall married, June 2, 1894, at Manchester, Maine, Louise Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. Hall are the parents of two children; Wilfred E., and Florence L. Mr. Hall and his family maintain their residence in Augusta.	HALL, Albert E. (I617)
311	Albert Stanwood proved himself as a lumber man, and his efforts paid off financially. His family had no lack, and he was able to provide well for them. A good example of his financial stability may be seen in the purchase of a piano for his daughter Susan's twelfth birthday. Prior to his years at the mill, Albert served in Company D of the Maine Volunteer Regiment from January 1, 1865 to July 16 of the same year. He had just turned sixteen years of age the month before his enlistment. His service in the Civil War was short, although not without complications. In his application for pension dated May 23, 1890, he states that he was afflicted with "diarrhea in a very bad way...Piles developed soon after the diarrhea and troubled me much for the remainder of my term of service in the army and ever since." He also states that he developed rheumatism during this time, and was also down with the measles and resulting lung disease in January 1865, and was hospitalized at Gallups Island near Boston, Massachusetts. Albert maintained that the "Disease of the Lungs" and other complications never resolved, and interfered with his ability to work. He continued to applying for pension increases until 1915, and was receiving a $50 per month pension at the time of death in 1921. During the years of correspondence with the government for a pension, Albert changed two things: his year of birth, and his middle initial. On October 24, 1910, Albert submitted a statement "correcting" his year of birth from 1848 to 1847, and it is evident through out the censuses that his year of birth was actually 1848. To complicate matters, both his death certificat and gravestone inscription are incorrect; they list his year of birth as 1846. In addition to the confusion surrounding his year of birth, there was disagreement as to his middle initial. All correspondence to his wife by his son Melvin was addressed to Mrs. Albert J. Stanwood. He was also listed in the 1890 Veteran's Census with the middle initial "J". However, in his applications for pension, he signs his name "Albert G. Stanwood", the form which also appears on his death certificate. Also interesting to note is the 1908 physical description given of Albert on his pension application: height 5'5", fair complexion, gray eyes and brown hair. If his height is accurate, it certainly did not pose a limitation to him as a lumberman.	STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)
312	All documents listing Susan's date of birth consistently state the event to be May 15, 1885. The extracted copy of her birth certificate received from the Sherburne county recorder, however, gives the date of May 14 for her birth. Also interesting is that a second record of her birth was found at Mille Lacs county courthouse, indicating her place of birth as Princeton. Since her daughter Goldie was told that Susan was born at Santiago, this record will reflect birth in Sherburne Co, MN. Susan "Susie" Stanwood was very devoted to her family. She was once given a marriage proposal by a missionary, and although she was interested, she declined, not wanting to leave her family. She married Ed Clark at the age of 20, and the couple had one child, Beatrice Marie Clark. The marriage was short-lived however, due to Ed's reported "skirt chasing". Susan and daughter Beatrice lived with Susan's parents Albert and Lavina in Floodwood, MN, until 1913 or 1914, at which time the entire Stanwood family moved to Minneapolis, where Susan resided when she met her second husband, Ernest "Bob" Simpson at a funeral (presumably that of her aunt Flora's husband, Oliver Fred Simpson, who was also Ernest's brother). After their marriage, the couple lived briefly in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and later moved to Owatonna, Steele Co, MN, where they owned a farm. It was here that their daughter Goldie was born in 1921. in 1924 to 1925, the couple sold their farm and part of the profits were invested in a new Ford Model-T, which the family used to travel. Goldie remembers visiting Ernest's brother in South Dakota as a young child. The family moved back to Minneapolis where they lived when Ernest was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the late 1930's. During his illness, Susan assumed the role of bread winner, working at such places as the local library and the Goodyear tire company. After Susan's daughter Goldie married and moved to California, Susan often traveled back and forth between Los Angeles and Austin, MN, where her oldest daughter Beatrice resided. Goldie's daughter, Patricia, fondly remembers her grandmother, although Susan died when "Patti" was only four years old. Susan died exactly one year before the birth of Goldie's second daughter, Suzanne, who was named after her grandmother.	STANWOOD, Susan Belle (I2048)

318	An Untimely Death LAWRENCE H. SIMPSON died at the home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. M. G. Simpson, at Fonda, Jan 1, 1912, at 3:30 o'clock a.m., aged 26 years, 8 months and 21 days. The deceased was born at Kellogg, Jasper County, Iowa, April 10, 1885. Since August, 1898, his home has been at Fonda with his parents. Nearly three years ago the dread disease, tuberculosis, developed in his system, and since that time he has been gradually failing. For several months his family and friends have felt that his death was inevitable. Dr. Simpson has sent him to the west and has had him treated at Des Moines and other places. He has done everything in his power to ward off the grim destroyer but in vain. He has tried everything seemed to offer a chance for the boy in the hope that his life might be spared. When hope for his recovery was gone he took his place at the bedside of his boy to help to do all that could be done for him before his spirit took its flight. Lawrence was a young man of good character and habits and was esteemed by all who knew him. His untimely death will be deeply mourned by his parents and brothers and a large circle of friends. The family was all present at the bedside when the young man passed away. He leaves his father and mother and two brothers, Claude and Frank to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held in the M.E. church at Fonda, on Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. A. Calkins. The interment took place at the Fonder cemeters (sic). The relatives from out of town were R.M. Simpson of Manson, an uncle of Lawrence, and four cousins, Mrs. Ella Streegle and Miss Mary Simpson, of Fort Dodge, and Mrs. Jerry Emhoff and Miss Pearl Ferrand of Manson.	SIMPSON, Lawrence (I1926)

325	Approval of Pension, CORDELIA EMERY. April 17, 1888.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed. Mr. Bliss, from the Committee on Pensions, submitted the following REPORT: [To accompany bill S. 1343.] The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred Senate bill No. 1343, granting a pension to Cordelia Emery, have examined the same, and return the bill to the Douse, recommending its passage, and adopting as its report the statement of fact of the Senate committee, as follows: The claimant is the widow of Nahum Emery, late of Hampden, Me., a soldier of the war of 1812. The pension is rejected by the Pension Office on the ground that the husband of the claimant was a teamster and not a soldier. There are two comrades, Simeon Mayo and Andrew Parr, aged respectively eighty-four and eighty-eight years, both of Hampden, Me., who testify that— "They were both present and participated in the Hampden battle in the war of 1812; that we served in the company under command of Captain Newcomb, and that we are in receipt of a pension under the act of March 9, 1878; and we further state that we were well acquainted with Nahum Emery, who volunteered and did serve in the company of Massachusetts militia commanded by Capt. John Emery; that he was detailed by the commander to haul guns from the United States frigate Adams to a position on 'the hill;' that he was present in the engagement, taken prisoner by the British, detained several days, and then released on parole." It appears that Private Emery acted only temporarily in the capacity of teamster, and then by command of his superior officer. The bill is reported favorably, with a recommendation that it do pass.

327	Arthur Libby was the grandson of Phineas and Clarinda (Beedy) Libby, who purchased the Benjamin Stanwood home and buildings in North Woodville, Maine. A photo of the home c 1900 with his aunt Clara (Libby) Hughes and grandmother in front appears in a book by E. Durwood Libby. According to Arthur's granddaughter, Elizabeth (Dunphy) Crosby, Arthur's grandfather Phineas Libby lived in the Benjamin Stanwood home, where his grandmother died when burned in a fire. Arthur and his wife, Cora (Kimball), lived in the home across the street, and then their daughter, Isabel (Libby) Dunphy resided there until her death in 2005. Elizabeth Crosby recalls the old Stanwood residence, and would occasionally get in trouble with her parents for crossing the street without permission.	LIBBY, Arthur (I1055)
328	As one from the dead old John Bursley dropped into the Union office last Saturday as saucy, fat and talkative as ever. John has been in the state of Washington since 1911, and we were sorry to learn his wife died there last May.-Mr. Bursley is a veteran of the civil war, having enlisted as a volunteer in the Fourth Minn. Inf. when it was organized and was a member of the regiment when it was mustred (sic) out in 1865. The regiment participated in many hard-fought battles and has a splendid record, and John Bursley contributed his full share toward the making of that record.-After the war Mr. Bursley settled in Santiago, Sherburne county, where he resided for many years, and was well known to all the old settlers of Princeton and vicinity. He never accumulated any great amount of this world's goods, was somewhat radical in his views, but had many warm friends, especially among the old soldiers - the late C.H. Rines was one of his particular friends.-Mr. Bursley has been on earth for more than three score years and ten and is still hale and hearty. He expects to return to Washington and spend the remainder of his days in the soldiers' home at Orchard in that state. The best wishes of his Princeton friends will accompany him. May his last days be pleasant and serene, and if there is a 'better land' beyond the 'great divide,' may the loyal old veteran be allotted a choice corner lot facing south and east.

331	At a meeting of the citizens of Polk County, in the court house in Bolivar, August 30, 1856, resolutions of sympathy were adopted for residents of Kansas Territory on account of “invasions of Kansas by bodies of armed abolitionists," and aid was invoked to "secure immunity to life and property" for the people there. Of this meeting, E. M. Campbell was president; Dr. C. H. Bird, vice-president; and I. W. Davis, secretary. The resolutions referred to were drafted by a committee of ten appointed for that duty, and constituted as follows: George M. Williams, John W. Wilson, B. M. Jewett, J. F. Snyder, J. B. Clark, Benjamin F. Acock, John Slagle, Burk Priddy, L. J. Ritchey, I. W. Davis. Four persons in each township in the county were appointed to call on citizens for contributions of money, provisions, etc., for the relief of the distressed objects of the meeting's solicitude. The following are the names: John W. Williams, Burk Priddy, B. M. Jewett, D. S. Clark, Marion; B. F. Acock, Gideon Rule, B. C. Mitchell, A. Ewing, Looney; W. B. Mitchell, A. Carlock, Jesse Potter, W. H. Newland, Jackson; W. D. Cowden, J. B. Lusk, John T. Self, James Rogers, Mooney; W. R. Woolard, Root Evans, M. W. Easley, James McBroom, Madison; James G. Human, Thomas D. Hall, George Yoast, E. Arnold, Johnson; A. Zumwalt, A. Turk, T. Wainscote, H. H. Simpson, Greene; B. F. Gordon, J. W. Ratlifif, John Vanderford, S. O. Gooden, Benton. Later an armed company was organized, in which J. F. Snyder and "Jake" Clark were leading spirits, which went into Kansas, and aided some settlers to move into Missouri. It was absent a month, and had no part in any scene of bloodshed. It consisted of from fifty to sixty men.	ROGERS, James M (I1138)

333	At the time of this writing (23 Jan 2013), direct evidence regarding the parentage of John C. Scott has not yet been discovered. However, there is very strong circumstantial evidence to support assignment of James L. Scott and Joanna Hansen has his parents. 1) In the 1830 census, 18 families were listed in Township No 1, 8th Range, later known as Chester. 2) James L. Scott's family was the only family known by that surname in the area. 3) A total of 10 children were listed with James Scott's household. 4) Family tradition passed down to other cousins supports the theory of John's parentage. 5) Intermarriage among families was common in small towns, and John's niece, Caroline White (daughter of his sister Mary Scott White) married David Stanwood. John married David's sister, Mary Jane Stanwood. 6) Several of the Stanwood, Scott and White families left Maine and traveled to the midwest sometime after 1865, and were enumerated in Monticello, Wright Co, MN in 1870. Among those were John's sister, Fanny Scott Leland, Mary Scott White, and their husbands. John and wife, Mary Jane, were enumerated next door to his sister and brother-in-law, Enos and Fanny Leland.

344	Benjamin Bradstreet was the first minister of Annisquam (Third Parish of Gloucester, Massachusetts), having been educated at Harvard. From "Colonial Collegians: Biographies of Those Who Attended American Colleges before the War for Independence," we learn a bit more about Benjamin: "Like most of the Class of 1725, Benjamin had to live in the town during his freshman year because of the crowded condition of the college; when space did become available, he asked to room with his classmates Pike and Webb in the south chamber over the library. In 1728 he applied for his M.A. in absentia and was denied because the excuse for his absence was not convincing. At the next Commencement he was awarded the degree 'though necessarily absent.' "His failures to appear at Cambridge may have been related to his marriage, on November 9, 1726, to Sarah Greenleaf, or to the preaching engagement which he enjoyed. On November 22, 1727, having sat under his preaching for only four Sabbaths, the church of Topsfield invited him to settle in the ministry, but he declined iwth a most uncomplimentary promptness. The explanation must have been his dislike of the strife which was then raging in the relatively wealthy church of Topsfield, for the next summer he accepted a call to the poor and newly organized Third Parish of Gloucester, commonly known as Annisquam or Squam. Here he was offered a salary of £125 (with provision for an increase to £135), a woodlot, and a £100 settlement money. these sums were in paper money; when the province returned to a specie basis, his salary was only £82 a year." (Note: Benjamin's death was actually recorded in Gloucester vital records as 2 May, 1762.) Benjamin's ordination at Squam took place on September 18, 1728, with the sermon delivered by John Tufts of West Newbury. "The covenant which Bradstreet and the members of the new church signed was a simple one without theology or dogma. The people were not unduly religious and not too respectful of the clergy to suggest to an unpopular preacher that he leave town by taking a shot at him...Still, the only difficulty of Bradstreet's ministry to reach serious proportions was the defamation of his character by one Benjamin Wheeler, and here, when parson was about to sue, John Cleaveland (Yale 1745) of Essex obtained an apology in time to keep the case out of court... "By March, 1761, Bradstreet had become 'very feeble, very paralytic," and his friend Cleaveland was engaged to preach half time at Squam. In June Bradstreet began to have convulsion fits and by October he was 'feeble in body and mind' as a result of them. In the spring he took a journey thinking to improve his health by a change of scene. Returning, he had reached Danvers when death overtook him on May 31, 1762, in the fifty-seventh year of his age." According to the Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 11 (1907), Benjamin's will was "dated Sept. 8, 1760, being proved April 4, 1763. His estate, which was insolvent, was appraised at £197, 11s., 8d."

His occupation was listed as hostler, also known as a groom or stableman. This was one of many jobs George undertook - he had worked at a circus at one point, but mostly did odd, handy man jobs such as painting in the latter part of his life.

Aged Man Dies Alone -
Body of H. Gravdahl Found at Farm Several Days After Death Had Come. -

H. Gravdahl was found dead in bed at his farm, eight miles south of Tomahawk, Sunday. The body was badly decomposed and it is believed he had been dead at least nine o0r ten days s. He had gone to the farm Aug. 16 and was there alone getting out some fallen timber and cutting hay. Alarmed at his failure to return to town as usual after a week’s stay at the farm, relatives began to investigate. John Valand, a son-in-law, drove to the farm Sunday and learned that death had preceded him. He found the body’s of Mr. Gravdahl lying as if in sleep in a bed in the house. There were no signs of a struggle and it is believed the4 aged man died peacefully and without suffering, probably of heart failure, with which he had been afflicted. Inquiry among the neighbors showed that the last heard of Mr. Gravdahl was on Aug. 20, when the sound of his ax had been heard. The day before he had visited the home of August Miller, a neighbor, and secured some milk. This was the last time he was seen alive. No thought of foul play is entertains and the belief is that the aged man came to his death of natural causes. The body was buried Monday in Greenwood. It was impossible to hold funeral services owing to the condition of the body.

Mr. Gravdahl was 67 years old and is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter. The daughters is Mrs. John Valand of Tomahawk. Harry, one of the sons, is in Minneapolis. The other son lives in Iowa. The Gravdahl family came here about five years ago from Iowa and located on the farm where death came to the father. Lately Mr. and Mrs. Gravdahl had lived in town.

Albert consistently stated he was born on the 23rd of December. In 1908, he stated he was born in 1848, which is consistent with his age of one year reported on the 1850 census. It is also consistent with his age on the 1860 census, in which he was stated to be 11 years old. This also agrees with most later censuses in which he appears. However, in 1910, he reported he made an error in his year of birth, and stated his actual birth date was 23 December 1847. Additionally, his death certificate provides a date of birth of 23 December 1846, which is clearly inconsistent with his reported age of one year in 1850. Since the year of 1848 is most congruent with his ages when a child at a time when discrepancies would have been much more obvious, and is also consistent with the majority of censuses in which Albert is enumerated, the year of 1848 is accepted as his actual year of birth. See pension application: Albert J. Stanwood, (Private, Co. D, 20th Reg't Main Inf., Civil War) pension no. 777,866, Case Files of Approved Pension Applications..., 1861-1934; Civil War and Later Pension Files; Department of Veteran's Affairs, Record Group 15; National Archives, Washington, D.C.

ALBERT E. HALL, Street Commissioner of Augusta, Maine was born May 24, 1873, at China, Maine, a son of John N. and Ida F. Haskell, well-known members of the community.

Albert E. Hall received his education in the public schools of China, later attending the China High School. From boyhood, Mr. Hall has always taken a keen interest in local city affairs and has been very active in the service of people. During his career he has filled with credit various positions in the administration of civic policies and he is now serving his second term as Street Commissioner of Augusta. In his political preferences he is a strong supporter of the Democratic party.

Despite the manifold duties of his work Mr. Hall has contributed freely of his time to social and fraternal activities. He is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of the World, and is a member of the Kiwanis Club.

Albert E. Hall married, June 2, 1894, at Manchester, Maine, Louise Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. Hall are the parents of two children; Wilfred E., and Florence L. Mr. Hall and his family maintain their residence in Augusta.

Albert Stanwood proved himself as a lumber man, and his efforts paid off financially. His family had no lack, and he was able to provide well for them. A good example of his financial stability may be seen in the purchase of a piano for his daughter Susan's twelfth birthday. Prior to his years at the mill, Albert served in Company D of the Maine Volunteer Regiment from January 1, 1865 to July 16 of the same year. He had just turned sixteen years of age the month before his enlistment. His service in the Civil War was short, although not without complications. In his application for pension dated May 23, 1890, he states that he was afflicted with "diarrhea in a very bad way...Piles developed soon after the diarrhea and troubled me much for the remainder of my term of service in the army and ever since." He also states that he developed rheumatism during this time, and was also down with the measles and resulting lung disease in January 1865, and was hospitalized at Gallups Island near Boston, Massachusetts. Albert maintained that the "Disease of the Lungs" and other complications never resolved, and interfered with his ability to work. He continued to applying for pension increases until 1915, and was receiving a $50 per month pension at the time of death in 1921.

During the years of correspondence with the government for a pension, Albert changed two things: his year of birth, and his middle initial. On October 24, 1910, Albert submitted a statement "correcting" his year of birth from 1848 to 1847, and it is evident through out the censuses that his year of birth was actually 1848. To complicate matters, both his death certificat and gravestone inscription are incorrect; they list his year of birth as 1846. In addition to the confusion surrounding his year of birth, there was disagreement as to his middle initial. All correspondence to his wife by his son Melvin was addressed to Mrs. Albert J. Stanwood. He was also listed in the 1890 Veteran's Census with the middle initial "J". However, in his applications for pension, he signs his name "Albert G. Stanwood", the form which also appears on his death certificate.

Also interesting to note is the 1908 physical description given of Albert on his pension application: height 5'5", fair complexion, gray eyes and brown hair. If his height is accurate, it certainly did not pose a limitation to him as a lumberman.

STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)

All documents listing Susan's date of birth consistently state the event to be May 15, 1885. The extracted copy of her birth certificate received from the Sherburne county recorder, however, gives the date of May 14 for her birth. Also interesting is that a second record of her birth was found at Mille Lacs county courthouse, indicating her place of birth as Princeton. Since her daughter Goldie was told that Susan was born at Santiago, this record will reflect birth in Sherburne Co, MN.

Susan "Susie" Stanwood was very devoted to her family. She was once given a marriage proposal by a missionary, and although she was interested, she declined, not wanting to leave her family. She married Ed Clark at the age of 20, and the couple had one child, Beatrice Marie Clark. The marriage was short-lived however, due to Ed's reported "skirt chasing". Susan and daughter Beatrice lived with Susan's parents Albert and Lavina in Floodwood, MN, until 1913 or 1914, at which time the entire Stanwood family moved to Minneapolis, where Susan resided when she met her second husband, Ernest "Bob" Simpson at a funeral (presumably that of her aunt Flora's husband, Oliver Fred Simpson, who was also Ernest's brother).

After their marriage, the couple lived briefly in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and later moved to Owatonna, Steele Co, MN, where they owned a farm. It was here that their daughter Goldie was born in 1921. in 1924 to 1925, the couple sold their farm and part of the profits were invested in a new Ford Model-T, which the family used to travel. Goldie remembers visiting Ernest's brother in South Dakota as a young child. The family moved back to Minneapolis where they lived when Ernest was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the late 1930's. During his illness, Susan assumed the role of bread winner, working at such places as the local library and the Goodyear tire company.

After Susan's daughter Goldie married and moved to California, Susan often traveled back and forth between Los Angeles and Austin, MN, where her oldest daughter Beatrice resided. Goldie's daughter, Patricia, fondly remembers her grandmother, although Susan died when "Patti" was only four years old. Susan died exactly one year before the birth of Goldie's second daughter, Suzanne, who was named after her grandmother.

An Untimely Death

LAWRENCE H. SIMPSON died at the home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. M. G. Simpson, at Fonda, Jan 1, 1912, at 3:30 o'clock a.m., aged 26 years, 8 months and 21 days.

The deceased was born at Kellogg, Jasper County, Iowa, April 10, 1885. Since August, 1898, his home has been at Fonda with his parents. Nearly three years ago the dread disease, tuberculosis, developed in his system, and since that time he has been gradually failing. For several months his family and friends have felt that his death was inevitable. Dr. Simpson has sent him to the west and has had him treated at Des Moines and other places. He has done everything in his power to ward off the grim destroyer but in vain. He has tried everything seemed to offer a chance for the boy in the hope that his life might be spared. When hope for his recovery was gone he took his place at the bedside of his boy to help to do all that could be done for him before his spirit took its flight.

Lawrence was a young man of good character and habits and was esteemed by all who knew him. His untimely death will be deeply mourned by his parents and brothers and a large circle of friends.

The family was all present at the bedside when the young man passed away. He leaves his father and mother and two brothers, Claude and Frank to mourn his loss.

The funeral services were held in the M.E. church at Fonda, on Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. A. Calkins. The interment took place at the Fonder cemeters (sic).

The relatives from out of town were R.M. Simpson of Manson, an uncle of Lawrence, and four cousins, Mrs. Ella Streegle and Miss Mary Simpson, of Fort Dodge, and Mrs. Jerry Emhoff and Miss Pearl Ferrand of Manson.

Approval of Pension, CORDELIA EMERY.
April 17, 1888.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Bliss, from the Committee on Pensions, submitted the following
REPORT:
[To accompany bill S. 1343.]
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred Senate bill No. 1343, granting a pension to Cordelia Emery, have examined the same, and return the bill to the Douse, recommending its passage, and adopting as its report the statement of fact of the Senate committee, as follows:
The claimant is the widow of Nahum Emery, late of Hampden, Me., a soldier of the war of 1812.
The pension is rejected by the Pension Office on the ground that the husband of the claimant was a teamster and not a soldier.
There are two comrades, Simeon Mayo and Andrew Parr, aged respectively eighty-four and eighty-eight years, both of Hampden, Me., who testify that—
"They were both present and participated in the Hampden battle in the war of 1812; that we served in the company under command of Captain Newcomb, and that we are in receipt of a pension under the act of March 9, 1878; and we further state that we were well acquainted with Nahum Emery, who volunteered and did serve in the company of Massachusetts militia commanded by Capt. John Emery; that he was detailed by the commander to haul guns from the United States frigate Adams to a position on 'the hill;' that he was present in the engagement, taken prisoner by the British, detained several days, and then released on parole."
It appears that Private Emery acted only temporarily in the capacity of teamster, and then by command of his superior officer. The bill is reported favorably, with a recommendation that it do pass.

A photo of the home c 1900 with his aunt Clara (Libby) Hughes and grandmother in front appears in a book by E. Durwood Libby. According to Arthur's granddaughter, Elizabeth (Dunphy) Crosby, Arthur's grandfather Phineas Libby lived in the Benjamin Stanwood home, where his grandmother died when burned in a fire. Arthur and his wife, Cora (Kimball), lived in the home across the street, and then their daughter, Isabel (Libby) Dunphy resided there until her death in 2005.

As one from the dead old John Bursley dropped into the Union office last Saturday as saucy, fat and talkative as ever. John has been in the state of Washington since 1911, and we were sorry to learn his wife died there last May.-Mr. Bursley is a veteran of the civil war, having enlisted as a volunteer in the Fourth Minn. Inf. when it was organized and was a member of the regiment when it was mustred (sic) out in 1865. The regiment participated in many hard-fought battles and has a splendid record, and John Bursley contributed his full share toward the making of that record.-After the war Mr. Bursley settled in Santiago, Sherburne county, where he resided for many years, and was well known to all the old settlers of Princeton and vicinity. He never accumulated any great amount of this world's goods, was somewhat radical in his views, but had many warm friends, especially among the old soldiers - the late C.H. Rines was one of his particular friends.-Mr. Bursley has been on earth for more than three score years and ten and is still hale and hearty. He expects to return to Washington and spend the remainder of his days in the soldiers' home at Orchard in that state. The best wishes of his Princeton friends will accompany him. May his last days be pleasant and serene, and if there is a 'better land' beyond the 'great divide,' may the loyal old veteran be allotted a choice corner lot facing south and east.

At a meeting of the citizens of Polk County, in the court house in Bolivar, August 30, 1856, resolutions of sympathy were adopted for residents of Kansas Territory on account of “invasions of Kansas by bodies of armed abolitionists," and aid was invoked to "secure immunity to life and property" for the people there. Of this meeting, E. M. Campbell was president; Dr. C. H. Bird, vice-president; and I. W. Davis, secretary. The resolutions referred to were drafted by a committee of ten appointed for that duty, and constituted as follows: George M. Williams, John W. Wilson, B. M. Jewett, J. F. Snyder, J. B. Clark, Benjamin F. Acock, John Slagle, Burk Priddy, L. J. Ritchey, I. W. Davis. Four persons in each township in the county were appointed to call on citizens for contributions of money, provisions, etc., for the relief of the distressed objects of the meeting's solicitude. The following are the names: John W. Williams, Burk Priddy, B. M. Jewett, D. S. Clark, Marion; B. F. Acock, Gideon Rule, B. C. Mitchell, A. Ewing, Looney; W. B. Mitchell, A. Carlock, Jesse Potter, W.

Snyder and "Jake" Clark were leading spirits, which went into Kansas, and aided some settlers to move into Missouri. It was absent a month, and had no part in any scene of bloodshed. It consisted of from fifty to sixty men.

At the time of this writing (23 Jan 2013), direct evidence regarding the parentage of John C. Scott has not yet been discovered. However, there is very strong circumstantial evidence to support assignment of James L. Scott and Joanna Hansen has his parents.

1) In the 1830 census, 18 families were listed in Township No 1, 8th Range, later known as Chester.
2) James L. Scott's family was the only family known by that surname in the area.
3) A total of 10 children were listed with James Scott's household.
4) Family tradition passed down to other cousins supports the theory of John's parentage.
5) Intermarriage among families was common in small towns, and John's niece, Caroline White (daughter of his sister Mary Scott White) married David Stanwood. John married David's sister, Mary Jane Stanwood.
6) Several of the Stanwood, Scott and White families left Maine and traveled to the midwest sometime after 1865, and were enumerated in Monticello, Wright Co, MN in 1870. Among those were John's sister, Fanny Scott Leland, Mary Scott White, and their husbands. John and wife, Mary Jane, were enumerated next door to his sister and brother-in-law, Enos and Fanny Leland.

Beatrice’s daughter, Hazel, married James Robert Parnell, who was featured in the paper for his museum-quality artifacts and other items he had in his home. Dad recalls when he met Mr. Parnell and the incredible collection he’d had, including Joseph’s prized ruby. He said he didn’t have the heart to ask for it back because they had cared for Joseph and done his funeral arrangements while he was gone.

Benjamin Bradstreet was the first minister of Annisquam (Third Parish of Gloucester, Massachusetts), having been educated at Harvard.

From "Colonial Collegians: Biographies of Those Who Attended American Colleges before the War for Independence," we learn a bit more about Benjamin:

"Like most of the Class of 1725, Benjamin had to live in the town during his freshman year because of the crowded condition of the college; when space did become available, he asked to room with his classmates Pike and Webb in the south chamber over the library. In 1728 he applied for his M.A. in absentia and was denied because the excuse for his absence was not convincing. At the next Commencement he was awarded the degree 'though necessarily absent.'

"His failures to appear at Cambridge may have been related to his marriage, on November 9, 1726, to Sarah Greenleaf, or to the preaching engagement which he enjoyed. On November 22, 1727, having sat under his preaching for only four Sabbaths, the church of Topsfield invited him to settle in the ministry, but he declined iwth a most uncomplimentary promptness. The explanation must have been his dislike of the strife which was then raging in the relatively wealthy church of Topsfield, for the next summer he accepted a call to the poor and newly organized Third Parish of Gloucester, commonly known as Annisquam or Squam. Here he was offered a salary of £125 (with provision for an increase to £135), a woodlot, and a £100 settlement money. these sums were in paper money; when the province returned to a specie basis, his salary was only £82 a year." (Note: Benjamin's death was actually recorded in Gloucester vital records as 2 May, 1762.)

Benjamin's ordination at Squam took place on September 18, 1728, with the sermon delivered by John Tufts of West Newbury.

"The covenant which Bradstreet and the members of the new church signed was a simple one without theology or dogma. The people were not unduly religious and not too respectful of the clergy to suggest to an unpopular preacher that he leave town by taking a shot at him...Still, the only difficulty of Bradstreet's ministry to reach serious proportions was the defamation of his character by one Benjamin Wheeler, and here, when parson was about to sue, John Cleaveland (Yale 1745) of Essex obtained an apology in time to keep the case out of court...

"By March, 1761, Bradstreet had become 'very feeble, very paralytic," and his friend Cleaveland was engaged to preach half time at Squam. In June Bradstreet began to have convulsion fits and by October he was 'feeble in body and mind' as a result of them. In the spring he took a journey thinking to improve his health by a change of scene. Returning, he had reached Danvers when death overtook him on May 31, 1762, in the fifty-seventh year of his age."

According to the Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 11 (1907), Benjamin's will was "dated Sept. 8, 1760, being proved April 4, 1763. His estate, which was insolvent, was appraised at £197, 11s., 8d."
