601	From the History Monona County: Franklin Augustus Day was bone July 9, 1809. in Kennebec County, Me. At the district school, the academies of Monmouth and Hallowell and the Wesleyan Seminary at Readfield, he gained an excellent practical education. He started out in life for himself at the age of eighteen by working on his uncle’s farm for $8 per month and board. Investing his wages in a watch and clothing he taught a district school the following winter. He continued to teach for three winters and one summer, a part of the time at the large town school. In 1831 Mr. Day went into a general store in company with Laban Lincoln, at Hallowell, remaining about five years. During the next two years he was a member of the firm of Day & Jackson. The following year was spent in North Carolina, where he learned to detest that ‘‘peculiar institution” which John Wesley pronounced "the sum of all villainies.” Returning to Hallowell he went into the mercantile business again. Two years later his brother, Francis J., became a member of the firm, assisting him to carry on the business about eight years. During all these ten years F. A. Day served as Collector and Treasurer of the old town of Hallowell, having been elected to that office in 1845. After living one year at Middlefield, Conn., and one year at Perth Amboy, N. J., he moved with all his family to Monona County, in 1855. F. A. Day married Miss Harriet Proctor Squire, who was born in Somerset County, Me., March 31, 1809, and who died in Monona County, January 28, 1876, having been the mother of four children, of which the following is a record :Franklin Augustus Lincoln was born July 1, 1832; Joseph Bowles Proctor, May 31, 1834; Francis Jerome Preston, June 28, 1836; and Harriet Elizabeth Consuelo, July 9, 1841. These four children all became school teachers, are all married, all are now living' in Monona County, and there are twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Shortly after coming to this county our subject lost the greater part of his property by going surety for a friend. He fitted out at St. Charles, Ill., and came through with six oxen and a span of horses, camping on the Little Sioux River, in December of the coldest winter ever known in Iowa. He bravely and energetically bore the hardships and privations of pioneer life. He was elected a member of the County Board of Supervisors for a number of years, and by his honest labors earned the gratitude of the people, and served as Postmaster at Areola, and also at his store in old Castana. His occupations were various until 1878, when he became a member of the widely known mercantile firm of F. A. Day & Co. Five years later he sold out to Wm. T. Day & Co., and since then has been leading a retired life, aiming only to settle up his past business affairs. Although our subject is the son of a Baptist deacon, he has never been a member of any church, or indeed of any society, secret or otherwise. Religiously he is, and has been, a persistent Free-Thinker. While of a domestic nature and habit, fond of games and amusements, he has opposed the use of intoxicating liquors and tobacco, and has never failed to bear testimony against saloons and all betting and gambling. Mr. Day was a member of the old Whig party. His last vote as such was cast for Gen. W. II. Harrison, in 1840. From that time until 1856 he was a Garrisonian Abolitionist, and did no voting. There were twelve votes thrown in Kennebec Township on that year by himself and others, all of them for John C. Fremont. Since that eventful date he has been a warm and devoted Republican, taking a deep interest in the public affairs of both Nation, State and county. Mr. Day has travelled the rough and thorny road of a wide experience, especially since coming to Monona County; his present position and success in life have been achieved by persistent hard knocks. Despite the fact that he has been a vehement advocate, a rough-and-ready controversialist, his opponents have not failed to give him credit for honesty, ability and sincerity. Kennebec Township, or in fact Monona County, contains but few citizens who are more widely known or more respected and esteemed than the gentleman of whom this annal is written.	DAY, Franklin Augustus (I2342)
602	From the History of Monona County: "Francis, the second son of John Day, was born February 11, 1781. He married Miss Elizabeth Hewins, who was born June 28, 1787, and died October 10, 1864, he died December 17 1856, in Hallowell, Me. having had only two children: Franklin Augustus, and Francis Jerome. He was a hatter by trade, carrying on that business until Franklin was about fifteen years old, when he purchased land at Hallowell Cross Roads and remained a farmer for life. For a short time during the war of 1812-15, he joined the United States Cavalry. During the latest years of his life "Uncle Frank” as he was called, dwelt in the city of Hallowell."	DAY, Francis (I2091)

Mrs. Gravdahl and her daughter from Des Moines accompanied the remains on their last journey.	GRAVDAHL, Martha (I1854)
612	Further research must be done to determine Amanda’s birth date. She was three years old on the 1850 census, which would provide her date of birth earlier than her parents’ marriage. It is possible she is actually the daughter of Emily and not James, or it is possible that her year of birth has been incorrect on censuses.	LOFFLAND, Amanda (I2800)

616	Genealogical Notes of Barnstable states John is the "grandfather of the present Mr. Charles H. Bursley". John Howland of the Mayflower Vol 2 states, "This John Bursley was probably the one who served as a private in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Ebenezer Jenkins' company, Col. Freeman's regiment at Falmouth and Dartmouth, guarding British prisoners from the brig Somerset. "John Bursley of Barstable, yeoman, in his will dated 22 May 1822, proved second Tuesday, March 1822 (sic), named his four sons, Lemuel, Heman, John and Josiah....Mercy was not mentiond in his will be cause she had died 16 September 1796..."

618	George Colbath's parents and date of birth were largely taken from the Civil War pension application made on his behalf as a minor.	STANWOOD, Isabel (I10)
619	George Colbath's parents and date of birth were obtained from compiled pension application and other records made on his behalf as the minor child of a deceased Civil War soldier. Included in the files was the certified statement from the Plantation of Woodville town clerk, stating he was born 2 December 1860, the child of George W. Colbath. The name of his mother was not documented on this record; however, other pension documents list his mother as Clara Stanwood. From these records, as well as census documents, we learn George was sent at a very young age to Minnesota. It is unclear why this transpired. His mother apparently returned to Maine shortly thereafter and per George's statement, he lived largely with strangers, although his cousin Columbia (Scott) Wood appears to have been close to him as she is often enumerated in the same town on censuses, and her mother provided statements in the civil war pension application. It appears the original informant for his death certificate did not have intimate knowledge of George's family. His wife's name was typed, "UNKNOWN" and later crossed out and corrected with the name "Mary." His mother's name was listed as Isabel Stanwood. It is highly unlikely that Isabel was his mother, as multiple documents list Isabel's sister Clara as his mother. Given that the informant did not know the name of George's wife, it is even more likely that the name of his mother was unknown/unclear. Lastly, his date of birth on his death certificate was given as 8 Dec 1854. This contradicts earlier documents, including the town clerk's statement made in 1865 regarding his birthdate. Since George was not included with his mother on the 18 June 1860 census, a December 1860 seems most likely.	COLBATH, George H (I2082)
620	George F. Stanwood died as a result of wounds sustained serving in the Civil War. According to First Maine Heavy Artillery by Horace H. Shaw, George F. Stanwood was injured May 19, 1864, and the following month, June 25th, from those wounds. We know from history of all the regiments in the army the First Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment sustained greatest loss in battle. From the website, www.civilwarintheeast.com, we are provided a list of the companies battles; on May 19th, they are listed at Harris' Farm, Fredericksburg Road, where 82 were killed, 394 wounded, and five missing.

627	Goldie was first married to Harold T. Uphouse shortly after her 18th birthday and moved with her new husband to California. During WWII, she and daughter "Patti" stayed briefly in Portland, Oregon with her mother and sister while Harold was on duty. She later moved back to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she stayed until Harold returned at the end of the war. About 1954, Goldie and Harold divorced. She and daughters Patti and Suzi moved to Riverside, CA, to stay with Goldie's sister, Bea. During this time, Goldie went to business school and the girls enjoyed spending time with their "Auntie Bea", who was well known for her full cupboards of food and large play yard. Both Goldie and the girls fondly reflect upon these years, which they call their "bachelorhood". although she wasn't searching for a husband, when Cecil Earl Edwards or "Ed" came along, Pat and Suzi decided he'd make a great dad. Goldie and Cecil married in 1957, and their daughter Robin Colleen was born later that same year. Goldie was again to spend another wartime alone, as Cecil was a gunnery sergeant in the USMC, and was sent to Viet Nam during the 60's. Goldie and the girls "held down the fort" at their home in Vista, CA, and never spoke of the possibility that Dad might not make it home. When Cecil did finally return, Goldie was very active in numerous community activities, especially the PTA and girl scouts. When her youngest daughter was seven years old, she and Cecil bought her a pony, the beginning of a lifelong love of horses, which continues to this day. The family became members of the Vista Palomar Riders, and continued to be very active with the group until 1976 when the family relocated about a 45 miles north to Temecula, Riverside Co, CA. They moved their collection of horses to their five acre ranch named "Vaya Con Dios Arabians".	SIMPSON, Goldie Mae (I565)

From the History Monona County:

Franklin Augustus Day was bone July 9, 1809. in Kennebec County, Me. At the district school, the academies of Monmouth and Hallowell and the Wesleyan Seminary at Readfield, he gained an excellent practical education. He started out in life for himself at the age of eighteen by working on his uncle’s farm for $8 per month and board. Investing his wages in a watch and clothing he taught a district school the following winter. He continued to teach for three winters and one summer, a part of the time at the large town school.
In 1831 Mr. Day went into a general store in company with Laban Lincoln, at Hallowell, remaining about five years. During the next two years he was a member of the firm of Day & Jackson. The following year was spent in North Carolina, where he learned to detest that ‘‘peculiar institution” which John Wesley pronounced "the sum of all villainies.” Returning to Hallowell he went into the mercantile business again. Two years later his brother, Francis J., became a member of the firm, assisting him to carry on the business about eight years. During all these ten years F. A. Day served as Collector and Treasurer of the old town of Hallowell, having been elected to that office in 1845. After living one year at Middlefield, Conn., and one year at Perth Amboy, N. J., he moved with all his family to Monona County, in 1855.

F. A. Day married Miss Harriet Proctor Squire, who was born in Somerset County, Me., March 31, 1809, and who died in Monona County, January 28, 1876, having been the mother of four children, of which the following is a record :Franklin Augustus Lincoln was born July 1, 1832; Joseph Bowles Proctor, May 31, 1834; Francis Jerome Preston, June 28, 1836; and Harriet Elizabeth Consuelo, July 9, 1841. These four children all became school teachers, are all married, all are now living' in Monona County, and there are twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Shortly after coming to this county our subject lost the greater part of his property by going surety for a friend. He fitted out at St. Charles, Ill., and came through with six oxen and a span of horses, camping on the Little Sioux River, in December of the coldest winter ever known in Iowa.
He bravely and energetically bore the hardships and privations of pioneer life. He was elected a member of the County Board of Supervisors for a number of years, and by his honest labors earned the gratitude of the people, and served as Postmaster at Areola, and also at his store in old Castana.

His occupations were various until 1878, when he became a member of the widely known mercantile firm of F. A. Day & Co. Five years later he sold out to Wm. T. Day & Co., and since then has been leading a retired life, aiming only to settle up his past business affairs.

Although our subject is the son of a Baptist deacon, he has never been a member of any church, or indeed of any society, secret or otherwise. Religiously he is, and has been, a persistent Free-Thinker. While of a domestic nature and habit, fond of games and amusements, he has opposed the use of intoxicating liquors and tobacco, and has never failed to bear testimony against saloons and all betting and gambling.

Mr. Day was a member of the old Whig party. His last vote as such was cast for Gen. W. II. Harrison, in 1840. From that time until 1856 he was a Garrisonian Abolitionist, and did no voting. There were twelve votes thrown in Kennebec Township on that year by himself and others, all of them for John C. Fremont. Since that eventful date he has been a warm and devoted Republican, taking a deep interest in the public affairs of both Nation, State and county.

Mr. Day has travelled the rough and thorny road of a wide experience, especially since coming to Monona County; his present position and success in life have been achieved by persistent hard knocks. Despite the fact that he has been a vehement advocate, a rough-and-ready controversialist, his opponents have not failed to give him credit for honesty, ability and sincerity. Kennebec Township, or in fact Monona County, contains but few citizens who are more widely known or more respected and esteemed than the gentleman of whom this annal is written.

He was a hatter by trade, carrying on that business until Franklin was about fifteen years old, when he purchased land at Hallowell Cross Roads and remained a farmer for life. For a short time during the war of 1812-15, he joined the United States Cavalry. During the latest years of his life "Uncle Frank” as he was called, dwelt in the city of Hallowell."

On July 6, 1665, he bought his brother Richard's house in Ipswich, with adjacent lands, and lands in Salisbury and Bradford were owned by him. The inventory of his estate was taken Sept. 23, 1682, and shows that he owned at that time, eighteen heads of cattle, twenty-three sheep, ten swine, and three horses. He was free from debt, and his widow was to have the use of the property until his children became of age.

Further research must be done to determine Amanda’s birth date. She was three years old on the 1850 census, which would provide her date of birth earlier than her parents’ marriage. It is possible she is actually the daughter of Emily and not James, or it is possible that her year of birth has been incorrect on censuses.

Genealogical Notes of Barnstable states John is the "grandfather of the present Mr. Charles H. Bursley".

John Howland of the Mayflower Vol 2 states, "This John Bursley was probably the one who served as a private in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Ebenezer Jenkins' company, Col. Freeman's regiment at Falmouth and Dartmouth, guarding British prisoners from the brig Somerset.

"John Bursley of Barstable, yeoman, in his will dated 22 May 1822, proved second Tuesday, March 1822 (sic), named his four sons, Lemuel, Heman, John and Josiah....Mercy was not mentiond in his will be cause she had died 16 September 1796..." (pg 342).

George Colbath's parents and date of birth were largely taken from the Civil War pension application made on his behalf as a minor.

STANWOOD, Isabel (I10)

619

George Colbath's parents and date of birth were obtained from compiled pension application and other records made on his behalf as the minor child of a deceased Civil War soldier. Included in the files was the certified statement from the Plantation of Woodville town clerk, stating he was born 2 December 1860, the child of George W. Colbath. The name of his mother was not documented on this record; however, other pension documents list his mother as Clara Stanwood.

From these records, as well as census documents, we learn George was sent at a very young age to Minnesota. It is unclear why this transpired. His mother apparently returned to Maine shortly thereafter and per George's statement, he lived largely with strangers, although his cousin Columbia (Scott) Wood appears to have been close to him as she is often enumerated in the same town on censuses, and her mother provided statements in the civil war pension application.

It appears the original informant for his death certificate did not have intimate knowledge of George's family. His wife's name was typed, "UNKNOWN" and later crossed out and corrected with the name "Mary." His mother's name was listed as Isabel Stanwood. It is highly unlikely that Isabel was his mother, as multiple documents list Isabel's sister Clara as his mother. Given that the informant did not know the name of George's wife, it is even more likely that the name of his mother was unknown/unclear.

Lastly, his date of birth on his death certificate was given as 8 Dec 1854. This contradicts earlier documents, including the town clerk's statement made in 1865 regarding his birthdate. Since George was not included with his mother on the 18 June 1860 census, a December 1860 seems most likely.

George F. Stanwood died as a result of wounds sustained serving in the Civil War. According to First Maine Heavy Artillery by Horace H. Shaw, George F. Stanwood was injured May 19, 1864, and the following month, June 25th, from those wounds. We know from history of all the regiments in the army the First Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment sustained greatest loss in battle. From the website, www.civilwarintheeast.com, we are provided a list of the companies battles; on May 19th, they are listed at Harris' Farm, Fredericksburg Road, where 82 were killed, 394 wounded, and five missing.

Goldie was first married to Harold T. Uphouse shortly after her 18th birthday and moved with her new husband to California. During WWII, she and daughter "Patti" stayed briefly in Portland, Oregon with her mother and sister while Harold was on duty. She later moved back to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she stayed until Harold returned at the end of the war.

About 1954, Goldie and Harold divorced. She and daughters Patti and Suzi moved to Riverside, CA, to stay with Goldie's sister, Bea. During this time, Goldie went to business school and the girls enjoyed spending time with their "Auntie Bea", who was well known for her full cupboards of food and large play yard. Both Goldie and the girls fondly reflect upon these years, which they call their "bachelorhood". although she wasn't searching for a husband, when Cecil Earl Edwards or "Ed" came along, Pat and Suzi decided he'd make a great dad. Goldie and Cecil married in 1957, and their daughter Robin Colleen was born later that same year. Goldie was again to spend another wartime alone, as Cecil was a gunnery sergeant in the USMC, and was sent to Viet Nam during the 60's. Goldie and the girls "held down the fort" at their home in Vista, CA, and never spoke of the possibility that Dad might not make it home. When Cecil did finally return, Goldie was very active in numerous community activities, especially the PTA and girl scouts. When her youngest daughter was seven years old, she and Cecil bought her a pony, the beginning of a lifelong love of horses, which continues to this day. The family became members of the Vista Palomar Riders, and continued to be very active with the group until 1976 when the family relocated about a 45 miles north to Temecula, Riverside Co, CA. They moved their collection of horses to their five acre ranch named "Vaya Con Dios Arabians".

At the census of 1865 he had only 3 sheep and sowed potatoes, but the place probably gave more in his younger years. There were only two housekeepers in Gravdal in 1865, Ola and widow Gjertrud (31), and then Tor Haldorsson, who lived in Myro when he had given way to bnr. 1 for the brother, Tørres Haldorsson (6).
