| These are notes for the men of Company
G,
27th Iowa.
I use various sources. I start with the Pension
Records Index to see if I can determine the spouse's name.
Then I check Census records, and Family Trees on Ancestry.com. If I can determine
what county/state he was in, I check the USGENWEB site
for that particular county. I also use Find A Grave and Iowa
Gravestones Photo Project websites. Last I do a
general search of the internet. This information is a
compilation of information that I have found. I have
not attempted to verify any of it, so all information in
this section should be validated with further research.
Corrections are welcome.

Allen, Jacob C. He was born about 1840 in New York.
He was the son of Charles W. and Phebe Allen. 1850

Charles W. Allen (age 53, farmer, born VT), Phebe Allen (age
43, born Canada), Amanda Allen (age 14, born New York),
Alanson Allen (age 12, born New York), Jacob Allen (age 10,
born New York), Wesley Allen (age 8, born New York), Darwin
Allen (age 5, born New York) and Jane Allen (age 1, born New
York).
1860 Census:, Charles City, Floyd County, Iowa:
Charles W. Allen (age 63, farmer, born Vermont), Phebe Allen
(age 53, born Canada), Alansen Allen (age 21, Farmer, born
Canada, Jacob C. Allen (age 19, farmer, born New York),

Allen, Samuel S. He was born about 1840 in Ohio.
He was most likely the son of David G. and Jennie Allen
(Note even though the census records say Charlotte in 1860
and 1870, it appears from online family trees that she is a
second wife). There are several family trees that list
Betsy Maria Winans as his mother. But I have some
questions about that. There was no mother listed on
the 1850 Census. On the 1860 census, David G. Allen
was listed with Charlotte. Was he divorced from his
first wife? Of course, the 1860 census does not
identify relationships, but CHARLOTTE Allen filed for a
pension on the record of Samuel S. Allen as his mother.
So I would assume she was the wife of David G. Allen and
stepmother of Samuel S. Betsy Maria Winans Allen died
Dec. 20, 1878 (after the 1875 death of David G Allen) and is
buried in the same cemetery as David G. and Samuel S. Allen.
BUT if she was his mother, why didn't she file for a
mother's pension? I may be off base on this one as I
did find a
source for the marriage of David G. Allen and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Winans on June 8, 1828 at Milo, Yates County NY: The
source of the date of the marriage of David G. Allen to
Betsey Maria Winans, both of Benton, Yates Co., is abstract
#330 of the book, Genealogical Gleanings Abstracted from the
"Yates County Whig" [a newspaper] 1823-1855, Penn Yan, NY,
compiled by Dianne Stenzel, ©1991, Heritage Books, Inc.,
Baltimore, Md.
I would love to hear some someone who knows something about
this family.
1850 Census: Ruggles, Ashland County, Ohio: David G.
Allen (age 49, farmer, born New York), Martha A. (age 19,
born New York), William O. Allen (age 17, born Ohio), Gideon
W. Allen (age 15, born Ohio), Samuel S. Allen (age 10, born
Ohio) and Sarah E. Allen (age 6, born Ohio).
1860 Census: Ruggles, Ashland County, Ohio: David
G. Allen (age 59, carpenter, born New York), Charlotte Allen
(age 40, born Scotland), Samuel Allen (age 20, born Ohio)
and Victory Allen (female, age 16, born Ohio)
On Find A Grave, there is a Samuel G. Allen born June
14, 1840, died Aug. 11, 1864 that is buried in Stillwater
Cemetery, Orchard, Mitchell County, Iowa. A note said he
died during the Civil War. I have requested a photo of his
tombstone to see if it is the right one. (Note WPA Records
and an online listing for Stillwater Cemetery list a Samuel
S. Allen (1840 - Aug. 11, 1863, buried in Stillwater
Cemetery, East Lincoln Township, Mitchell County. I
highly suspect that it is him. His father, David Godfrey
Allen (born 1801, died Aug. 14, 1875), is buried in the same
cemetery.). UPDATE: 5/17/2012: The photo has been posted.
It clearly says Samuel S. Allen (Not G) and the date of
death on the tombstone is Aug. 11, 1863, age 23 y, 1 mo. 28
d. Unfortunately, it does not mention the 27th Iowa.
So while I am not 100% sure this is the right Samuel S.
Allen, I am still pretty sure. I am going to list it
here. Maybe I will be able to confirm 100% at some
point. I have requested a correction to his Find a
Grave memorial. (middle initial and year of death).
1870 Census: Floyd, Floyd County, Iowa: David G.
Allen (age 69, farmer, born New York) and Charlotte Allen
(age 54, born Scotland).
His mother Charlotte Allen filed for a pension on Aug.
30, 1880.
1880 Census: Charles, Floyd County, Iowa: Josephus
Welch (age 62), wife Victoria E. Welch (age 36), step
daughter, Ella M. Foster (age 16), step daughter Mary B.
Sweet (age 12), step daughter Martha V. Sweet (age 7) and
mother-in-law Charlotte Allen (age 63, widowed, born
Jamaica)

Austin, George B. He was born Sept. 15, 1835 in
Sennett, Cayuga, New York. He was the son of Silas
Austin and Mary Ann Patchen. There are
some discrepancies with this soldier. 1. WPA Records
and Riverside Cemetery online transcription say Grove B.
Austin, age 23, died June 23, 1864 and is buried in
Riverside Cemetery, Floyd County. Remarks have Co. G,
27th IA. Inf. G.A.R..
2. Iowa Civil War Soldier Burial Records say:
George Bailey Austin, 2 Corp, 27th Iowa, Co. G, born NY,
died June 23, 1864, age 28, buried in Riverside Cemetery,
Floyd Co.
3. The Roster has his name as George B. Austin,
but then goes on to say that he transferred to the Invalid
Corps on Sept. 13, 1863, under the name of G. Bradley
Austin
4. There are several online family trees that say
Grove Bradley Austin was born Sept. 15, 1835 in
Sennett, Cayuga, New York. He was the son of Silas
Austin and Mary Ann Patchen. He died June 23, 1864 in
Charles, Floyd County, Iowa and is buried in Riverside
Cemetery. (I could find no George B. or George Bailey that
fit.)
On both Census Records he is listed as Bradley Austin.
I could not find a George B. Austin in the census records
that seemed to fit. I am not certain if his first name
is George or Grove (although I would lean towards Grove
based on family trees). I am certain they are all
referring to the same person.
1850 Census: Sennett, Cayuga County, New York:
Silas Austin (age 50, farmer, born NY), Mary Austin (age 52,
born NY), Edward Austin (age 29. born NY), Albert Austin
(age 22, born NY), Jared Austin (age 16,born NY), Bradley
Austin (age 14, born NY), Hellen Austin (age 6, born NY)
and Juliet Patchin (age 43, born NY).
1860 Census: Charles, Floyd county, Iowa: Silas
Austin (age 62, gentleman, born NY), Mary Ann Austin (age
59, born NY), Bradley Austin (age 25, farmer, born
NY), and Nellie Austin (age 16, born NY)
Online cemetery transcription for Riverside Cemetery show
that both Silas Austin (April 5, 1798 - July 23, 1863) and
Mary Ann Austin (died Jan 4, 1861) are also buried in
Riverside Cemetery.

York), Elizabeth Bates (age 30, born Ohio), William H. Bates
(age 18, born Illinois), John G. Bates (age 7, born Iowa)
and Lucy Bates (age 4, born Iowa). (It appears to
me that William's parents are David and Mary. It also
appears that Elizabeth is a second wife.)
1870 Census: Neosho,
Neosho County, Kansas: William Bates, (age 28, born
Illinois, farmer), Lydia J. Bates (age 34, born New York)
and Ida A. Tucker (age 13, born Iowa).

Wilkerson
Richard Bean was a Private in the Union Army,
Co. G, 27th Iowa Infantry. He mustered in
October 3, 1862 (maybe at Dubuque, IA). It says
on the Company Muster-in Roll that he was 24
years old and that his occupation was as a
farmer. He enlisted August 15, 1862 in Nashua,
Iowa for a period of 3 years. the enlistment
person was A. L. Rupe. It also says he had black
hair and eyes and his complexion was dark. He
was five foot, five and a half inches tall. On
that date he was to be paid the sum of $25, and
the premium paid was $2.00.
The battles in which he fought were: Battle
of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, April 9, 1864; and
Old Oaks, Louisiana, May 18, 1864; Ditch Bayou,
Arkansas, June 6, 1864; Tupelo and Old Town
Creek, Mississippi, July 15 and 16, 1864;
Nashville, Tennessee, December 15 and 16, 1864;
and the Siege and Capture of Blakely, Alabama,
April 2 through 9, 1865.
June 1863 he went to the regimental hospital
(Gayoso USA General Hospital) in Memphis, TN
because he was sick. On August 24, 1863 he left
at Memphis, Tennessee because he was sick.
During the months of September and October 1863
he was employed as a guard at the hospital until
he returned to duty. He rejoined his Company
from the hospital December 10, 1863.
Richard's muster-out date was August 8, 1865.
At that time, he had last been paid to February
28, 1865. He mustered-out in Clinton, Iowa. At
that time they paid him a bounty of $25 and he
was due $75.
In 1896 Richard R. Bean applied for a pension
from the government for his service in the Civil
War.
Richard's brother Levi was in the 7th IA
Infantry and was killed during the CW in
Mississippi. He is buried there. George,
Richard's other brother was also in the 27th,
Company G with him. I don't have any photos of
George. Holton Bean, another brother was in the
7th IA Inf. I know you're working on the 27th,
but since so many of the Beans were in the Civil
War, I added their info. and, I have one more.
The father of the Bean boys, Richard Lemuel Bean
who also served in the IA military:
They were in Nashua when the Civil War broke out
and he was determined to enlist with four of his
sons: Henry, Levi, George, and Holton. He also
wanted to enlist but the Board would not take
him on account of his age. His wife told him if
he did enlist, not to come back to her. He did
anyway, by going to another county; cut off his
beard, dyed his hair with walnut stain, and made
it. He was discharged a year later with an
injury to his hips in battle. He returned to
Nashua and built a home on some land he owned 2
miles north of town, and lived there for the
rest of his life. (see picture) He owned and
operated a saw mill before the war, but with his
injured hips he could no longer do the work.
Before coming to Iowa he was a [I suspect he was
a "sawyer" and [someone misread the writing on
the census record--C] lawyer in Vermont and New
York State.
He served in Company C, in the 6th Iowa Cavalry.

one inch posterior to outer eminence of the left
eye, and passed out one-half inch below the
right eye, destroying in its course the left
eye, the lachrymal sac, duct of the right eye,

Biography of
Alpheus Carman,
(1832-1904)
Alpheus Carman was born in
Brockville, Ontario, Canada on 12/18/1832 to John Joshua and
Mary Fisher Carman. Brockville was established after the
American Revolution as a Loyalist refuge city. John and
Mary were both New Jersey natives. Alpheus had 11 siblings:
John Jr., William W., Henry (died in infancy), Mary Ann,
Chauncey C., Henry F., Elizabeth (died at age 9), George W.,
Philip J., Elizabeth, and Sarah.
Alpheus moved with his family to an
80 acre plot in Cherry Valley, Illinois in the late spring
of 1840. In 1858, Alpheus, possibly accompanied by his
brother Henry, moved to Floyd County Iowa. In the 1860
census he was residing in a hotel in the town of Floyd,
Iowa, and was listed as being a brick mason.
On Christmas Day, 1861, Alpheus
married Henrietta Ready at the Charles City courthouse,
Judge Wilsey officiating. The Civil War was in progress at
the time and on 8/14/1862, Alpheus enlisted as a three-year
volunteer in the 27th Iowa Volunteer Regiment, Company G,
Union Army.
During the war, Alpheus' regiment
traveled throughout the South and participated in several
battles such as Pleasant Hill, Louisiana (the largest Civil
War battle west of the Mississippi River), Fort DeRussey,
Old Oaks, Tupelo, and Old Town Creek. There is no record
that he was ever wounded, but suffered from many physical
ailments throughout the rest of his life as a result of the
war. Alpheus was discharged with the rest of his regiment at
Clinton, Iowa on 8/8/1865.
After the war, Alpheus and his wife
began to have children: Minnie in 1868, George in 1872,
Hattie in 1874, John in 1875, Rosetta in 1878, and Sarah in
1879.
There is record that Alpheus sold 10
acres of ground near Floyd Station, Iowa to a Thomas Martin
on 2/6/1867 for $150. Sometime before 1875, Alpheus obtained
160 acres of land just to the north of Rockford, Iowa in
Floyd County.
It is not known why, but Alpheus and
his family do not show up in the 1870 census for Floyd
County. His father died in 1870 and his mother died in 1878,
so it's possible that Alpheus and family briefly moved back
to Illinois to attend to his parent affairs. In the 1880
census, Alpheus and family are once again listed as residing
in Floyd County, Rockford Township.
In the 1880's, it is known that
Alpheus ran a plastering and brick laying business with a
partner by the name of "I. T. Tucker." Alpheus wife,
Henrietta, died on 1/27/1886. With his health failing,
Alpheus apparently disposed of the 160 acres of land north
of town and bought a lot on the southeast corner of Block 35
in the town of Rockford.
Alpheus applied for a military
pension in 1891, and finally had his pension approved in
1898. He died on 1/23/1904 leaving no possessions except the
lot the he had purchased in Rockford in 1889. He was buried
in Riverside Cemetery in Rockford. His grave stone, placed
by the "Grand Army of the Republic" organization at the time
of his burial, is marked simply, "A. L. Carman, 27th IA
INF." The grave lot number is 04-36, g1. |

Obituary for
Alpheus (Alphene)
Carman
"Another Veteran Gone." Rockford
(Iowa) Register 28 January 1904
Comrade Alphene L. Carman died at
his home in this place January 23, 1904 of infirmities of
old age, aged 72 years.
He was born in Canada in 1832, and
came with his parents to Illinois in 1839, removing to this
county in 1858, this making him one of the first settlers in
the region. He was married to Henrietta Ready and had a
family of nine children who were born to them, five of whom
are now living.
In 1861, he enlisted as a soldier in
the 27th Ia. Inf. and served 3 years, participating in all
the work and hardships which fell to the lot of that
splendid body of soldiers. At the close of the war, he
returned here and has since made his home at this place.
His business was that of a stone mason and he was rated as
an expert workman. The funeral services were conducted on
Tuesday by Rev. Smith of the ME (Methodist Episcopal) church
under the auspices of the GAR Post of this place, the
members of which formed a little company of comrades, whose
ranks are fast thinning, which followed the remains to the
cemetery.
The country can well afford to hold
in grateful remembrance the men, who, like Comrade Carman,
took their lives into their own hands to defend their
country in its hour of peril. |

Edward Crowell, Jr. was born in Centreville, Allegany County, N. Y., Dec. 16,
1840. In the year 1843 his father and family moved to
Bloomfield, Walworth County, Wis., where they remained till
1856, when they came to Floyd County, Ia., and located in
Ulster Township, upon a farm of 240 acres. Edward Crowell,
Sr., had entered on sections 30 and 31 the year previous.
This property the family called the old homestead. It is
here the family grew to man and womanhood; it is here the
father and mother lived happily together till death broke
the ties by removing Mr. Edward Crowell, Sr., March 12,
1881; and it is here the mother still lives. At the age of
twenty-one Mr. Edward Crowell, Jr., the subject of this
sketch, enlisted in Company G, Twenty-seventh Iowa Volunteer
Infantry. He served his full term, being three years; was
mustered out May 6, 1865, at Davenport, Ia.; was never
wounded nor taken prisoner, but was a hospital patient about
fifteen months; was very low with typhoid pneumonia and
erysipelas, and we are sorry to have this fact to chronicle
that he is still a sufferer from the effects. His army
experience was that of the usual faithful soldier - hard
marches, hot skirmishes, and short rations, and the usual
exhausting and undermining camp life. After his return from
the army he moved upon his farm of eighty acres, which he
had purchased in 1863, on section 29, Ulster Township. Here
he lived till the year 1880, when he sold and purchased
eighty acres on section 31, same township, where he still
resides. He has under cultivation about fifty acres, and has
usually about fifteen head of cattle, four horses and thirty
hogs. June 3, 1864, he and Miss Sarah Y. Porter were united
in marriage. She was a native of Steuben County, N. Y., born
in 1846. They have five children - Dora L., Clarence H.,
Clyde A., Guy E. and Ida C. Politically Mr. Crowell is a
sound Republican. Is at present Justice of the Peace, which
he has been for many years, and has held various township
offices. He is a member of the I. O. O. F.

Edward Crowell, an honored veteran of the
Civil War and a substantial retired farmer
of this county, now living at Rockford, is a
native of the great Empire state, but has
been a resident of the Northwest since he
was three years of age, of this county since
he was about six, consequently he has been a
witness to and a participant in the
development of this region since pioneer
days. He was born at Centerville, in
Allegany county, New York, December 16,
1840, and was not yet three years of age
when his parents, Edward and Caroline
(Persons) Crowell, both natives of that same
state, the former born in Saratoga county
and the latter in Allegany county, came West
in 1843 and settled in Walworth County,
Wisconsin, where they remained until 1856,
in which year they came over into Iowa and
in June of that year settled in Ulster
township, this county, where they spent the
remainder of their lives, substantial and
useful pioneer citizens. Both had been
previously married and both had children by
these first marriages, but to their union
were born nine children, of whom Edward was
the first-born, the others being Mrs.
Abigail Raymond, James Monroe, Silas W. Oren
L. John, Mrs. Esther Whitney (deceased),
Charles Wesley and Mrs. Lillie Rugg.
As noted above, the junior Edward Crowell
was about sixteen years of age when he came
over into this county with his parents from
Wisconsin and he completed his schooling in
the schools of this county, such as they
were at that time. From the days of
his boyhood he was a valuable assistant to
this father in the labors of developing and
improving the home farm and was living there
when the civil War broke out. On
August 15, 1862, he enlisted for service in
Ulster township as a member of Company G,
Twenty-seventh Regiment, Iowa Volunteer
Infantry, and with that command served until
the cose of the war, being in many of the
notable battles and engagements of the war,
yet never received a wound nor was taken
prisoner. upon the completion of his
military service Mr. Crowell returned home
and resumed farming Having married in
1864 he established his home in Ulster
township and there remained, actively
engaged in farming, for about twenty years,
at the end of which time he moved to a farm
in Scott township and there made his home
until 1898, when he retired from the farm
and moved to Rockford, where he and his wife
are still living and where they are very
comfortably situated.
On June 2, 1864, Edward Crowell was
united in marriage to Sarah J. Porter, also
a native of New York, who was born in
Steuben County, that state, a daughter of
Henry and Rebecca (Pierce) Porter, who moved
from that state to Illinois and thence in
1858, to Iowa, locating on a farm in St.
Charles township, this county, where they
established their home and where they
remained until their retirement from the
farm and removal to Rockford, where their
last days were spent. To Edward and
Sarah J (Porter) Crowell six children have
been born, of whom the subject of this
sketch was the second in order of birth, the
others being as follows: Mrs. Dora L. Church
of Rockford; Clyde A., a farmer in Rockford
township: Guy E., of Kansas City, Missouri;
Mrs. Ida M. Fisher, of Scott township, this
county, and Clifford J., of Rockford.
Mr. and Mrs. Crowell are members of the
Congregational church and have ever given
proper attention to local good works.
Mr. Crowell is an active member of the local
post of the Grand Army of the Republic and
his wife is an equally active member of the
local corps of the Woman's Relief Corps.
he is a Royal Arch Mason and both he and his
wife are members of the local chapter of the
Order of the Eastern Star and take a warm
interest in Masonic affairs.

card is cross referenced to James M. Crowell. It shows
that he died Nov. 11, 1915 at Pleasant Grove, Minn.
His Widow Lucy L. Nutting filed for a pension on Dec.
12, 1918.
I note that on the 1920 Lucy Nutting was the housekeeper
of James M. Crowell. Then on 1925 his wife was Lucy. So it appears to me that James M. Crowell remarried late
in life to another veteran's widow. I also noted that Lucy's fathers name was
Edward Persons (1925 Iowa State Census). James Crowell's Mother's name was
Caroline Persons. Were they related somehow? |

Dean, Daniel M. He was born May 23, 1837 in
Foxcroft, Picataquis County, Maine. He was the son of
Ira Lew Dean (1794 - Mar. 18, 1878) and Charlotte Hersey
(Sept. 18, 1795 - Nov. 4, 1864). The marriage record
that was in the pension record said Daniel M. Dean married
Elmira Knouse on May 30th 1859, by D. B. Mead, Minister of
the Gospel.. Early Marriages in Floyd County say they
married on May 23, 1859) She was the daughter of
of Johnann
Heinrich Knouse (1808 -1885) and Elizabeth Snyder
(1808-1873). Her brother
Elcanah Knouse also served with Company G, 27th Iowa.
Note: there is a photo online that is a Daniel M.
Dean. Several family trees have copied that photo to
his family tree. However, the original poster also
posted the back of the photo which said "The man left is
Cassie Dean's father, Dan Dean. He died in the War".
AND the original poster has him as the child of Ira Dean and
Charlotte Hersey. However, based on a child named
Cassie, I do not believe it is the same Daniel Dean.
(See below for the known children of Daniel M. Dean that
served with the 27th Iowa). I have contacted the
original poster of the photo, to see what I can find out.

are living next door to a family named Mansfield. The
wife was Angelina Mansfield (age 37, born Maine. They
had a son named Ira D. Mansfield. I checked some
online family trees and found that Angelina Dean married
Ebenezer Mansfield. I suspect Seth Mansfield in the
household of Ira Dean is a grandson -- However, I could be
wrong, as he is not listed in any of the family trees with
Ebenezer and Angelina Mansfield).

trees mention only a marriage to Mary Eliza Bradford.
However, It appears to me that the Mary on the 1860 Census
and the Mary on the 1880 Census are two different
Mary's--different ages, different place of birth. The
Mary that is listed in 1870 appears to be his mother -- no
wife listed in 1870. Did he marry two different women
named Mary?)

Dyas, William. He was born about 1839 in Ohio.
The following information is speculation based on the
fact that a pension was filed for Raymond S. Dyas in
Missouri:
1870 Census, Township 55, Range 19, Chariton, Missouri:
William Dyas (age 30, farm laborer, born Ohio), Susan A.
Dyas (age 24, born Missouri), Shelton R. Dyas (age 6/12,
born Missouri). Note there are a couple of family
trees on line. One lists Shelton R. Dyas AND Raymond
S. Dyas. The rest just list Raymond S. Dyas.
It's possible they are the same person.. The family
trees showed William Dyas married to Susan Allen. I
am not certain this is the correct William Dyas, but it
seems reasonable based on the Pension Index information..
A
pension was filed for a minor Raymond S. Dyas on July
24,1893 in Missouri. |

Fisher, William N. He was born June 13, 1829 in
Washington Co. Vermont. He was the son of Silas W.
Fisher and Emily Peck. He married Mary Rudd on Oct. 3,
1867 in Rockford, Floyd County. She was the daughter
of Joe M. Rudd and Miranda Palmer.
William N. Fisher,
Constable, sexton of cemetery, and farmer, was born in Washington
County, Vt., June 13, 1829, a son of Silas W.
and Emily (Peck) Fisher; father a native of New
Hampshire and mother of Vermont. Of a family of
three children the subject of this sketch was
the eldest, and is the only one living. He was
brought up on a farm, and when within two months
of age he left home and worked out two or three
years, and in 1854 came West, to Rockford, Ill.
In the spring of 1857 he went to Minnesota with
three yoke of cattle to break prairie; but hard
times came on and he lost nearly all. He then
located to Charles City and started a meat
market, which business he prosecuted
extensively. Some seasons he would kill as many
as fifty or sixty hogs at a time, which were
hauled to market at McGregor. But in the
following spring he abandoned the market, and
did odd jobs until 1860, when he started for
Pike’s Peak; at Denver, however, he learned such
facts as discouraged him from going further, and
he returned, footing all the way from Omaha to
Charles City. In the autumn of 1864 he was
drafted and attached to Company G,
Twenty-seventh Iowa Infantry; in the army,
during the winter, he contracted rheumatism, and
was sent to the hospital, where he remained
until July. After the close of the war he
returned home to Charles City. Except what time
he was in the war, he has been Constable ever
since 1858. The first time he was elected he had
failed of a nomination in caucus by a vote or
two, and he ran independently, and yet was
elected almost unanimously. In 1862 he was
appointed Constable, the elected man not
qualifying. He ran independently again in 1868,
and was again elected. Mr. Fisher has done much
for the interests of his community. In the way
of fence-building he as done more than any other
man in the county, and probably excels all in
the neatness of his work. He has, by his
business talent, accumulated considerable
property and money, and is now independent and
happy. Oct. 3, 1867, in Rockford, this county,
he married Miss Mary Rudd, of Rockford, Ill.,
daughter of Joe M. and Miranda (Palmer) Rudd,
her parents having been early settlers of
Buffalo, N. Y. She is a member of the Christian
church. Of their two children, Victoria E. is
living, and Chester S. is deceased.

Woman Came to Wing River by Ox Team and Covered
Wagon
________________________________________________________________
Wing River, Minnesota: this community was
greatly saddened last Sunday morning when the
news was spread that Mrs. E. A. Kohler, who for
fifty-five years was a resident of this
community, and a much-loved woman, had passed
away in death about 10 o'clock. She had been
ailing for several years and recently had failed
fast, the cause of her death being complications
due to old age, having arrived at the age of
more than 92 years. Funeral services were held
on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from Hope
Methodist Chapel, where she was a member. Rev.
John Turnbull, an old friend of the
family, officiated and interment was made at
Green Lawn Cemetery near Verndale, beside
her husband and daughter. Elizabeth Ann Yoder
was born at Bloomington, Indiana, on June 2,
1842. While still a child of nine years she came
with her parents to Nora Springs, Iowa, where
she grew to young womanhood, and was united in
marriage to I. M. Fleenor in 1860. He died in
1862 of Typhoid fever while serving his country
during the Civil War. Two children were born to
them, Mrs. Theodosia Shoop of Wagner, S. Dakota,
who has been faithful the past six years in
helping for her aged mother, and Isaac Fleener
of Saskatchewan, Canada. On September 26,
1867, she was united in marriage to Jacob
Kohler, who died on October 30, 1884. Six
children blessed this union: Mrs. Grace Scofield,
Salem, Oregon, A.W. Kohler of Verdale, Mrs. Jane
Avery of Plains, Montana, Ellis, who died a few
years ago in the West, Mildred, who died at the
age of four and Austin of Newton, Iowa. She also
leaves 22 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren,
6 great-great grandchildren and 11 nieces and
nephews.Mr. & Mrs. Kohler, with their family,
were among the very earliest settlers of Wing
River township, coming here from Nashua, Iowa,
only 2 1/2 miles from the "Little Brown Church
in the Vale", and filing on a homestead on what
is now the southwest quarter of section 22 in
this township. They made the journey from Iowa
with two covered wagons drawn by Ox Teams and
arrived here on June 16, 1879. With the courage
and fortitude known so well to those old time
pioneers, they toiled in their homes, raised
their family, and lived lives of usefulness and
service while converting the wilderness into a
comfortable home. The husband and father died in
1884 and the children married and went into
homes of their own, except the eldest son, Went,
who stayed with his mother and they made their
home together for the 55 years of almost
continuous residence on this homestead. Mrs.
Kohler was a woman of very high character and
deeply religious. She lived a consistent,
Christian life and all who knew her loved her.
She was a kind neighbor and a true friend.
Pall-bearers were close friends of the family,
as follows: Jesse Hess, Will Shearer, R. M.
Shelton, Paul Billington, J. M. Haggerman and C.
B. Conn. |

Niles
Township, Floyd County Biographies, page 834
Horace L. Green, farmer; postoffice Charles
City, was born Feb 18, 1818, in New York. He is
the son of Amos and Olive (Miller) Green,
natives of Massachusetts and New York. They came
to Iowa many years ago and died in this county.
Amos was a soldier of the war of 1812.
Horace was educated in New York, by three day's
schooling only. He followed farming until
twenty-one years of age, then went upon the
lakes and canal, where he worked seven years; he
was pilot and wheelsman. In 1847 he married
Temperance Hettinger. She was the widow of Alex.
Hettinger, by whom she had two children - Mary,
wife of A.J. Allison, of Minneapolis; Franklin,
who served three years in the army and now lives
in Cedar Township. Her father was a soldier in
the Black Hawk war and died, as did his wife, in
Floyd County, Iowa, where they were old
settlers. Horace came to Iowa in 1855, and
bought his present farm of 180 acres of land,
which is finely improved; he lives on section 5,
Niles township. This union has been blessed with
five children - A.. O., born March 26, 1848,
married; Samuel V., Oct. 17, 1852, married;
Laura, deceased; Eva, May 25, 1861, wife of
James Sultiff, of Minneapolis; Stacy E. born May

Wesleyan Methodist church. Mr. Green has held
several of the township offices and has
faithfully performed his duties; he is also
director and stockholder in the county fair. He
votes the Republican ticket. |

*Osage City Cemetery Records say Rice.
However, I (ejj) also found this information: "In the
Bice family history (book) it says that Leander was a a native of
New York. It also says that he and Sarah moved to Mitchell Co,
Iowa and appear to be on the Federal Census in 1880, 1900, and 1910.
In 1910 Leander is not listed so it is believed that he died between
1900-1910.
There's limited information on this family but it is said that the
only two children (George W. and Joseph F.) never married." |

LULU HALL
Nashua Reporter
27 April 1899
Died. – At
her home in Brooklyn, on Wednesday, at 3:10
p.m., Miss Lula Hall,
aged 18 years, 7 months and 18 days.
Miss Lula, the eldest daughter of Mr. And Mrs.
Dyre Hall was born in Nashua in 1880 and has
resided here ever since. She was a young lady
with a beautiful disposition, friendly to all
and dearly loved by her associates. With her
classmates at school she was a genuine favorite,
and always ready and willing to do them an act
of kindness. They will miss her when they
graduate in June, as she was a member of the
class. Miss Lulu was a member of the '89 class
and would have graduated with them last June,
and was looking forward to commencement with
joyful anticipation, but sickness a year ago
prevented her from fulfilling her desire, and
she overcame her disappointment and dropped back
to the class of '99 and applied herself to her
studies with renewed energy, determined to go
forth from the high school this year with honor
to herself and to her class. But Providence had
other plans for her and her commencement will be
on the other side of Jordan. She was taken sick
on April 16, with an abscess which caused a
rupture. She was given all the care and
attention that loving ones could think of, but
they could not alleviate her sufferings.
Wednesday it was decided that an operation must
be performed. That was the only hope – although
a forlorn one – of saving her life, and it was
performed yesterday morning, but it was of no
avail as she survived it but a few hours.
To
the grief-stricken parents and brother and
sister goes out the sympathy of the whole
community. The funeral will take place at the
home tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, Rev.
Barrett officiating, and the remains will be
interred in Oak Hill Cemetery.

DYER
F. HALL
Nashua
Reporter
20
October 1910
The
ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are
again thinned by the death of an honored member,
Dyer F. Hall, who passed away at his home one
mile northeast of town at
6
o'clock
Tuesday morning Oct. 18. Death was due to
arterio sclerosis; which is a hardening of the
muscles of the heart and the arteries. It was
the fore part of last March when the deceased
realized that all was not right with him and
that he needed the services of a physician.
However medical skill could only delay the end,
which was sure to come sooner or later. His age
was 66 years, 8 months, and 14 days.
Dyer
F Hall was born
Feb.
4, 1844
at Brasher N. Y., and came with his parents to
Iowa
when he was 10 years old. He was married in 1865
to Miss Emma Barber. The young couple lived for
one year in Luana, coming thence to
Nashua,
which place was his home up until the time of
his death. At the breaking out of the war he
enlisted in Co. G, 27th Iowa Infantry, which
went out from this county, and served during the
war with honor to himself, and to his country.
He was the father of six children of whom three
died during a scourge of diphtheria during the
year of 1879, as follows: Walter, Nov. 20, Clara

Hall, Enoch Walter. He was born June 28, 1840 in
Brasher, New York. He was the son of John Scott Hall
(1817 - Feb. 7, 1888) and Mary (Polly) Wait (Mar. 29, 1819 -
Jan. 10. 1905). He married Ellen Clark on Sept. 15,
1863 in Winneshiek County, Iowa. (Note:
His cousin Newell Helms also
served in Company G, 27th Iowa. Their mothers (Polly
Wait and Pheobe Waite were sisters. Brothers Dyer Hall
and Giles Hall also served in Company G.) 1850 Census Brasher,
Saint Lawrence, New York, John Hall (age 34, carpenter
and joiner, born VT), Polly Hall (age 30, born VT), Cynthia
Hall (age 11, born New York), Enoch Hall (age 9, born New
York), John E. Hall (age 8, born New York), Dyre Hall (age
6, born New York), Giles Hall (age 2, born New York) and
Hollis Hall (age 11/12, born New York).
1856 Iowa State Census, Bradford, Chickasaw County,
Iowa: John S. Hall (age 38, born Vermont,
carpenter), Polly Hall (age 36, born Vermont), Cynthia Hall
(age 18, born N York), Enoc Hall (age 16, born N York), Dyre
Hall (age 12, born N York), Giles Hall (age 9, born N York),
Hollis Hall (age 7, born N York) and Darnlin Hall (age 3,
born NY). The family had been in the state of Iowa for
1 year.
1860 Census: Bradford, Chickasaw County, Iowa:
John S. Hall (age 43, millwright, born Vermont), Polly Hall
(age 42,born Vermont), Ennuch Hall (age 20, farmer laborer,

3, born Iowa), Maretta Hall (age 1, born Iowa) and Ellen
Clark, (age 18, servant, born New York). (I do note
that an Ellen Clark is listed with this family as a servant.
-- Is this the Ellen Clark that Enoch married?)
1870 Census: Nashua, Chickasaw County, Iowa:
Enoch Hall (age 30, line burner, born New York),
Mary Hall (age 26, born Illinois), John Hall (age 7, born
Iowa), Frank Hall (age 5, born Iowa) and Fanny Hall (age 2,
born Iowa). (Note: there are some discrepancies here.
I am not sure this is the right Enoch Hall. In 1880,
there are children that are listed that should have been on
the 1870 census AND none of the children on this census are
on the 1880 census. PLUS different wife's name and
place of birth. Since Enoch married Ellen Clark in
1863, I would have to rule out that this is a first wife.
So my guess is, this is not the same person. Problem:
there does not appear to be another Enoch Hall born about
1840 in New York. So if this is not him, who is it???
1880 Census, Murray, Alameda County, California:
Enoch W. Hall, age 40, farmer, born NY), wife Ellen Hall
(age 38, born NY), daughter Eathel J. Hall (age 13, born
Iowa), son Horace R. Hall (age 11, born Iowa), daughter Olie
Hall (age 9, born Iowa), daughter Fronia Hall (age 4, born
Cal.) and servant Joseph J. Davis, (age 17, born Cal.).
| He was on the California Voters Register
from 1875 through 1898 (the latest year on
record). His name was Enoch Walton Hall on
the 1875 Voter Registration. All the rest
had Enoch Walter Hall.
Residences contained in the Voter
Registrations were: 1875, Livermore; 1885,
Livermore:, 1890: Murray: 1892,
Murray/Livermore; 1894: Murray/Livermore;
1898, Livermore. All in Alameda County,
California.

Walter Hall (age 52, height: 5'8", dark
complexion, gray eyes, gray hair, born New York,
Farmer,
He was described as a carpenter part of the
time and also as a farmer. |
There is an Ellen Hall that died "Dec. 2, 1896, age 54,
our mother". She is buried in Roselawn Memorial Park
(AKA Old Masonic Cemetery), Livermore, Almeda County
California. (note Find a Grave says Roselawn
Cemetery). She would be the correct age to be Ellen
Clark, wife of Enoch. Since Enoch was widowed in 1900,
this may be her. Enoch was not listed.
1900 Census, Murray, Alameda County, California:
Enoch W. Hall (born June 1840, age 59, widowed, born New
York), daughter Eathel F. Conley (born Nov. 1867, age 32,
married 7 years, 1 child born, 1 living, born Iowa), son
Horace K. Hall (born May 1868 (age 32, divorced, born Iowa),
daughter Adel E. Hall (born Mar. 1881, age 19, born
California), and grandson Harry W. Conley (born Apr. 1894,
age 6, born Cal.).
| There are some later years Voters
Registration also (California, Voter
Registrations, 1900 - 1968). Unfortunately
they are grouped and I can't tell what years
apply, so I have arranged them according to his
age, and then computed the year based on his age
and the year of his birth (1840). (The
year in Italics at the end is my computation).
Almeda County, 1900 - 1902: Enoch Walter
Hall, age 59, Livermore. (1900)

Walter Hall, age 61, Watsonville (1901)
Santa Cruz County, 1900 -1922: Enoch Walter
Hall, age 64, Watsonville (1904)
Monterey County, 1900 - 1926: Enoch W.
Hall, age 68, Retired, Monterey. (1908) |
| After I apparently found him in Monterey
County in 1908, I found a person that will do
look ups for Monterey County deaths (1887 -
1922), so I wrote to him. This was his
response:
Elaine
Nothing in the Monterey County Death Index, but
I found an Enich Hall died 15 May 1909 age 69,
in Merced County in the California Death Index.
I could not find him in 1910 and Merced
County is one county over from Monterey.
After I got the information above, I then
found him on the California Death Index also.
It showed: Enich W. Hall, age 69 years,
County: 24, date of death: 5/15/09 State
File Number: 09-15002
The counties are coded. County 24 =
Merced County
The age is right, so this could be him,
but I am not 100% certain. ejj |
Children: Note the first 3 children were on
the 1870 census. I am not 100% sure that the family I
found in 1870 is the correct family. So they may not
belong to Enoch Hall and Ellen Clark.

Ben K. Sager was kind
enough to take a trip to several cemeteries in
South Dakota to take pictures for this website.
This was the result of his trip to Graceland
Cemetery to try to locate the tombstone for John Hanchett:
Our second stop on Sunday
was the Graceland Cemetery at Howard, Minor
County, SD, to look for the grave of John
Hanchett. I telephoned the Sexton for the
cemetery, JoAnn Sherman, and asked her for the
location of the grave. She checked her books
but did not find a listing for John. She listed
three graves, two with gravestones and one with
no stone. The one with no stone had the
initials "Jno" for the first name. She did not
know what they stood for. I told her they
usually stand for "Jonathon" but not for
"John". She stated this person was a child that
died young. She and her husband then drove out
to the cemetery and showed me the two graves
with stones. One showed:
Mary
Wife of
L. Hanchett
Born
May 16, 1866
Died
May 2, 1901
The other showed:
Lant L. Hanchett
Dec. 5, 1858
Sept. 21, 1917
She stated she was familiar
with the Hanchett name and the Hanchetts were
from Roswell, which is about 8 miles west of
Howard.
I see your
information indicates John had died at Roswell.
What is the source of your information that
shows he was buried at Graceland? The WPA cemetery
records from the 1930's only show Mary to be in
Graceland. I also checked the WPA records for
Roswell, but found nothing. His gravestone must
have disappeared before the WPA cemetery count.

S.
W. Haven : Furniture dealer,
and one of the prominent business men of
Rockford, is a native of Ludlow, Windsor County, Vt., born
March 3, 1826. He was educated in his native State, and
resided there until twenty years of age, when he went to
Pennsylvania, and two years later removed to Winnebago
County, Ill. He resided there seven years, and in 1855 came
to Floyd County, Ia. Since 1856 he has been a resident of
Rockford Township. He followed the carpenter's trade chiefly
until 1876, when he embarked in his present business, and
has met with flattering success. He served as Township Clerk
for about ten years, and was elected Justice of the Peace in
1878, and has held the office to the present time. He was
married in 1849, to Sarah Jane Knapp, who was born in 1829.
Three children have blessed this union, viz.: Ella J., born
in September 1850; Emmett M., March 30, 1854, and Laura O.,
Jan. 22, 1860. Mr. Haven enlisted Aug. 21, 1862 in the
Twenty-seventh Iowa Infantry, and served until Aug. 8, 1865,
when he was mustered out at Clinton, Ia. He participated in
many of the hard fought battles of the war, and though often
where shot and shell fell thickest, escaped unhurt. He is a
member of the regular Baptist church, and in politics is a
Republican, and a Prohibitionist. (Floyd County, Iowa

Died
HELMS, in this township, January 21st of
heart failure, Esther Jane Helms, wife of Newell
Helms, age 58 years.
Death came to this good wife and mother
without warning. She had not been in good
health for years, though able to be about and
attend to many household duties. The night
previous to her death she suffered some, but
felt better in the morning. She ate dinner
with the family as usual, after which, before
leaving the table, she threw back her head,
gasped, and all was over. Thus a loving
and lovable wife and mother was summoned to her
reward so suddenly that those dear to her within
speaking distance could not be bidden good-bye.
Esther Jane Pillsbury was born in Troy,
Wisconsin, and at the age of six years moved
with her parents to Winnebago County, Illinois,
where she resided until 1863, when the family
settled on the old homestead at Okoboji.
She taught of number of terms of school in this
county and in 1865 married George B. Carlton,
from which union one son was born, Allie E., who
resides in this county. In 1875 she united
in marriage with the husband who now survives
her, unto whom four children were born: Mrs.
Fred La Doux, Harry and Rollin Helms, aged
eighteen and thirteen, respectively, and Pearl,
who died in infancy. Three brothers,
Samuel L. W. F. and So. O. Pillsbury, all
residents of the county and one sister, Mrs. H.
J. Bennett, of Des Moines, are the chief
mourners outside of the immediate members of the
family.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F.L.
Moore, of Milford at the Warner Chapel Sunday,
and the remains were laid to rest in the Okoboji
cemetery. |

March. 17, 1926Obituary of Mrs. Sarah Hicok
Sarah Ann Hicok was born in Victory, Cayuga
County, New York, on Oct. 27, 1844, the daughter
of Anson and Hanna Bement, and passed away at
her home in Nashua, Ia. on March 9, 1926, at the
age of 81 years, 4 months and 7 days.
When 10 years of age she moved from Victory
to Batavia, ill. There were seven families
who came to Batavia together. They lived
there for five years. In the fall of 1858
they moved to Iowa, coming first to Dubuque by
rail and then by ox-team to Plainfield, and soon
after they located on a farm at Syracuse.
In the spring of 1860 she was married to
Charles Bliss Hicok. To this union two
children were born, Samuel Warren, now living at
Waterloo, Iowa, and Minnie Alice, who preceded
the mother in death in 1910. When Samuel
was 18 months old the father enlisted in in the
27th Iowa Vol. Infantry. Co. G, and served to
the end of the war. During this time the
mother with her little one suffered many
hardships. At the close of the war they
moved to Williamstown, Mich., where the second
child Minnie Alice was born. They lived
there nine years, then returned to Nashua, where
she lived up to the time of her death.
She watched the growth of this city and
surrounding country with pride. She united
with the Baptist church when a child and
remained in that faith until her death.
When the Baptist church closed she transferred
her membership to the Congregational church.
When her daughter Minnie Alice was left a
widow with two small children, Cecil William and
Hazel Clair, she took these children that the
mother might work, and acted the part of the
mother. Hazel and her grandmother were
never separated, only when Hazel was away
teaching school. The last years of her
life were brightened by a little girl Alyce
Clair Smith, being born into the home to Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Smith, and with this great
granddaughter she spent many happy hours.
She was for many years a member of the Womens
Relief Corps, and of the local Corps.
She is survived by her son Samuel of
Waterloo, ten grandchildren and sixteen great
grandchildren, besides other relatives and many
friends who will mourn the departure of a good
woman.
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church Friday at 10 a.m., Rev.
Geo. T. Hanna in charge, and interment was in
Oak Hill Cemetery. |

Horton, Barney R. He was born about 1834 in New
York. He married Marion Hovey. (my conclusions
are based on 1850, 1860 census records, pension index
records and finally the 1870 and 1880 census records below.
In 1860 the Hortons and Hovey's were in the same household.
Her brother Byron L. Hovey,
also served in Company G, 27th Iowa. 1856 Iowa State Census: Polk,
Bremer County, Iowa: Lyman Nutting (age 57, born
Vermont), Lydia Nutting (age 53, born Vermont), Anson
B. Nutting (age 24, born NY), Lucinda Nutting (age 20, born
NY), Edgar Nutting (age 17, born NY), Edmund Nutting (age
13, born NY), Thomas Keough (age 22, born NY) and Barney R.
Horton (age 22, born NY). The Nutting family had been
in the state of Iowa for 1 year. Barney R. Horton had
been in the state of Iowa for less than 1 year).
1860 Census: Butler, Butler County, Iowa: B. R.
Horton (age 26, master carpenter, born NY), Marrion Horton
(age 19, born NY), A. J. Hovey (age 45, farmer, born NY),
Lydia Hovey (age 39, born NY) and B. F. Hovey (male, age 16,
born NY). (Note B. F. Hovey is Byron L. Hovey who
also served with the 27th Iowa. I highly suspect
Marrion Horton is his sister. Note the 1850 census
below. he does have a sister named Marion 3 years
older than him. Their parents are Andrew J. and Lydia
Hovey).
Barney R. Horton died May 31, 1864 and is buried in
Vicksburg National Cemetery, Vicksburg, Miss. Section
L, grave 556.
His widow Marion H. Horton filed for a pension on July
22, 1864. A pension was filed for a minor on March 28,
1865. J. McCormick was the guardian. The
Widow's Pension information on Fold3 said that "Certificate
No. 33928, Widows' Class, Marion H. Horton, widow of B. R.
Horton, G 27 Iowa Inf was consolidated with Certificate No.
781, 261 Widows' Class Marion H. Bromley, dated Oct.
9, 1914. Family Tree information online shows Marion Hovey
married to Charles T. Bromley (no mention of Barton
Horton).. But that lead me to the 1870 Census:
1870 Census: Fremont, Butler, Iowa: Charles
Bromley (age 66, farmer, born New York), Charles Bromley
(age 37, farming, born New York), Marion H. Bromley
(age 29, born New York), Jessie H. Horton (age 9,
female, born Iowa), Katie McCormick* (age 4, born
Iowa.), Effie Bromley (age 23), and Alice G. Bromley (age
21). They were living next door to Andrew J.
and Lydia Hovey. 1880 Census: Fremont, Butler
County, Iowa: Lydia Hovey (age 59, widowed, born
New York), son Frank Hovey (age 16, born Iowa),
granddaughter Jessie Horton (age 19, born Iowa), son Albert
Horton (age 8 months, born September in Iowa) - index
says great grandson to head of household). He appears
to be the son of Jessie Horton. Charles and Marion
Bromley were listed on the same page. * Katie is
listed as Katie Bromley in subsequent census records (and in
family trees), but from the 1870 census it appears that she
was the daughter of Marion H. Hovey and unknown McCormick.
In 1880 Jessie Horton is living with her Grandmother
Lydia Hovey. Marion H. Bromley filed a pension on
the record of Charles T. Bromley, who served with Co. K, 88
Ill. Inf. on March 28, 1914 in Iowa. Also note that
Marion's brother Byron Hovey married Fanny P. Bromley
(she was the daughter of the older Charles Bromley, sister
to Marion's husband Charles T. Bromley.)
Based on the above census records and the pension
index records, it appears that Marion Hovey married first:
Barney R. Horton, 2nd Unknown McCormick, 3rd Charles T.
Bromley. |

his parents were living with the Hortons, Marion Horton is
the right age to have been his sister).

Sept. 7, 1911Celebrated His Birthday
The home of J. R. Howdeshell was the scene of
a happy gathering Sunday when about fifty
friends, relatives and comrades met there in
celebration of Mr. H.'s 85th birthday and the
49th anniversary of the departure of his
company, which was Co. G of the 27th Iowa
Infantry, from Charles City Sept. 3, 1862.
The comrades present were
Wm. Clark, of Charles City,
Byron Hovey, of Sac
City, George Potter,
of Riverton, and Jacob
Shannon and Warren
Parish, of this city. The relatives
from out of town were Mrs. W. H. H. Kellogg and
Mrs. C. E. Doty of Chicago, Ray Coe, of Mason
City, and Mrs. and Mrs. W. A. Howdeshell and son
Ray, of St. Paul and other relatives from nearby
towns and surrounding country.
The principal feature of the gathering was
the big dinner which was served the guest, the
tables looking temptingly inviting under their
load of good things and being further decorated
with the national colors, and it was with some
regret to all when they finally got from the
feast of good things and left the remains of the
tables to be taken care of by the women folks.
Among the many presents Mr. H. received was a
comfortable arm chair, presented by Wm. Clark on
behalf of his comrades, who afterward gathered

Mr. Howdeshell has been a resident of Nashua
since returning from the war in 1865 and has one
of her best citizens. He is hale and
hearty for his 85 years, and bids fair to remain
with us for a long time yet. We certainly
wish him many more happy returns of this day. |

Idler, David Jacob. He was born Nov. 14, 1842 in
Straten, Württemberg, Germany. He was the son of
Frederick David Idler (1806 -1848) and Margaret
Magdelena Cockley. Daivd Idler married Caroline
O. Gillett on Jan. 1, 1867 in Floyd County, Iowa. (Early
Marriages in Floyd County, Iowa.) Some
online family trees say he married Caroline Olive Miller.
However, the 1925 Census shows her father's name as William
Gillott, (born England) and her mother's name as Susan
Miller (born Vermont). Their son Elsworth Idler was
living with them in 1925. He listed his parents as
David Idler and Caroline Gillott. So between the early
marriage records and 1925 Iowa state Census, I am convinced
her maiden name was Gillott/Gillett (not Miller).
From papers received from Uncle Edward
Mulnix to Alice L Hicok-Kelley- Wilson. Susan is
Alice's Grandmother on her father's side.

with but little suffering after being stricken
with apoplexy.

ground up,' like a lion,
and as active as a cat.
He alternately farmed
and preached. For many
years he was about the
only preacher in this
section of the county.
His church was a log
school-house, since
burned down, near the
residence of Edson
Gaylord. His pulpit was
a dry-goods box, and the
pews were puncheons,
split and hewed from the
native forest trees. His
congregation was
everybody. When the time
for service came Knouse
was always on hand, and
his old gray was hitched
to the tree by the
school-house. He made no
pretensions to oratory,
and yet he was a natural
orator, and, when he
felt just right, would
preach a sermon and make
prayer that would start
the shingles right off
the roof of the old
school-house. His
daughter Sarah, a fine
girl about twenty years
of age, died in 1854,
and filled the second
grave ever made in the
township. About eighteen
years since, Knouse sold
his fine farm for a
moderate price to
Michael Footman, and
went to Floyd. He
remained there nearly
two years and moved with
his family to Kansas. In
the summer of 1874 the
grasshoppers in Kansas
served a notice on him
to leave, and he
returned to visit his
friends on the 'old
stamping grounds.' He
was in politics a
Republican, and
religiously he was a
member of the United
Brethren church."

before his death he was
apparently as well as
usual. The day was spend
in talking on religious
subjects, and rejoicing
over the many blessings
he had received. He had
not forgotten them. He
expressed the hope that
he would shortly meet
many of his old brethren

She was an exemplary
Christian, beloved

She died in the full

She was ready, and
even rejoiced that
she would soon be

Obituary
"E. L. Knouse died this afternoon at 3 o'clock
as the result of a stroke of paralysis with
which he was attacked in the early hours of the
morning. His passing away was a (shock? -
missing word). He was 73 years of age and was
one sad surprise to his family and friend of the
old settlers of this section.
Elcanah Knouse, brief mention of whose death
Thursday afternoon was made in last week's
issue, was born in Crawford county, Ohio, in
1842. At the age of 20 years he enlisted in Co.

by eight children, all but one of whom live in
this vicinity. They are: Mrs Alvin Myers, Mrs.
Charles Anderson, Mrs. Albert Nale of Oregon,
Dora Ellis and Charlie Knouse. He was a member
of the Grand Army post of this city and was
buried Saturday with military honors by his
comrades, Chaplain R. Barrett conducting the
services. The esteem in which he was held was
manifested by the large number of people who
gathered to pay their last respect to him, the
funeral procession being one of the largest ever
seen in Emmett."

Joseph Manson, teacher, homesteader, and
Union soldier, was living in Canada when he decided to go to
the United States, homestead, and participate in the Civil
War. He secured legal admittance to enter the army by
accepting three hundred dollars ($300.00) from a wealthy
family to go in place of their son. Manson began his service
about January 1, 1864. He was a member of the 27th Iowa
Infantry Regiment until July 17, 1865 when he became a
member of the 12th Iowa Infantry Regiment.
Joseph Manson and his wife, Martha, whom
he had married, apparently in 1848, were the parents of a
son, James J. Manson, and a younger daughter, Jannetta [?],
whose nickname was "Birdie.
The collection consists of a microfilm copy of 132
letters written by Joseph Manson mainly to his wife but a
few were addressed to his son James, his brother William,
other members of his family and to his friends from
1864-1866. The letters were written while he was serving in
the United States Army mainly in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama. He expresses concern for
his family, and discusses daily life and the places he has
been, his bout with malaria, Native Americans at Camp
McClellan (Iowa), and Abraham Lincoln, whom he idolized.

Oct. 13, 1910.Breaks his Arm
It will be several days before Warren Parish
will be again found in his old haunts as a
broken arm will keep him at home for a while.
He was standing down by the railroad track
Monday, where L. M. Crawford was selling out his
car of apples, when Wm. Lundt went down with his
auto after a bushel of the fruit. Having
secured it he started up his machine to go home.
Mr. Parish was standing in front of the auto and
as it turned he swayed his back to let it pass.
But somehow he failed to clear himself of the
machine and the left fender struck against his
left upper arm and as he couldn't put his foot
back to save himself, he fell heavily on his
right arm, breaking the bone above the elbow.
He was immediately placed into auto and taken to
a physician. |

June 8, 1911During the thunder shower
last Friday morning a bolt of lightning
struck Warren Parish's residence, in
Brooklyn, went down through the roof, tore a
hole in the side of the house upstairs and
another one downstairs, knocked some
plastering off, jarred the lamp off the
table, set the pictures on the walls to
dancing and dumped Mr. Parish from the chair
in which he was sitting, onto the floor.
It didn't take him long to realize what was
up and fearing his wife, who was in the
bedroom, might have fared worse then he, he
called to her and not hearing her response,
he got the fright of his life as he picked
himself up and went into the bedroom
expecting to find her dead. However,
Mrs. Parish was uninjured (I could not
read the rest of the sentence due to poor
quality). |

Sept. 21, 1911Warren Parrish was
displaying over town Friday afternoon a
bean pod that measured 28 inches in
length. It was quite a curiosity
and attracted considerable attention.
He procured the seed from
Jacob Shannon a couple of years ago
and had a number of hills this year.
It wouldn't take many pods to make a
mess of string beans for the ordinary
family. |

Nov. 23, 1911SURPRISED ON HER
BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Warren Parish, one of the highly
esteemed members of the Women's Relief
Corps, was given a surprise Monday, by
her sister members of the Corps.
Just before noon Mrs. Charlotte Watt
came to her home bring oysters and
informed Mrs. Parish that she had come
to help her celebrate her birthday which
was very agreeable to Mrs. Parish and a
quiet family dinner was indulged in.
Shortly after dinner other members of
the Corps came, to the number of about
eighteen, and the surprise was complete.
The afternoon was spent in a social way
and in the evening a fine birthday
supper was spread from the provisions
brought by the guests.
Besides being Mrs. Parish's birthday
the day was also the forty-fifth wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Parish and
they were remembered by many friends
with post cards.
(Note: based on the 1911 calendar,
Monday would have been Nov. 20.
That would make their date of marriage
Nov. 20, 1866.) |

Prouty, John M. I found this one to be very odd.
The 27th Iowa roster does not indicate where he was born or
where he enlisted. All it indicates is his age and
date of enlistment (January 5, 1864) into Company G,
27th Iowa Regiment. . The only John M. Prouty I
was able to find anything on enlisted in Company G, 27th
Regiment ILLINOIS on the same date.
Name: John Prouty
Residence: New Boston, Illinois
Enlistment Date: 5 Jan 1864
Side Served: Union
State Served: Illinois Service Record:
Transferred out of Company G, 27th Infantry Regiment
Illinois.
Transferred into Company E, 9th Infantry Regiment
Illinois.
Enlisted as a Private on 5 January 1864.
Enlisted in Company G, 27th Infantry Regiment Illinois
on 7 Jan 1864.
Sources: 7
The John Prouty in Company G, 27th ILLINOIS is the
same age as the one reported to have enlisted in the 27th
Iowa. There is quite a bit of information on
Find a Grave about the John Prouty that was in the 27th
ILLINOIS. Find a Grave has him listed as John Murray
Prouty. -- so same middle initial.
John M. Prouty that served with the 27th Illinois
filed for a pension. The one in 27th Iowa just
disappeared. I wonder if there is any chance they are
the same person, and an error was made with regard to him
being on the roster for the 27th Iowa.??? I am pretty
certain the information concerning the 27th ILLINOIS is
correct. -- Everything seems to indicate that -- Find a
Grave, Kansas State Census Records, etc. I am not so
sure about the information for the 27th Iowa.
There is clearly a roster entry for John M. Prouty
enlisting in the 27th Iowa. But ,it just seems odd to
me that a man with the identical (unusual) name, age, date
of enlistment, Company Letter and Regiment Number would be
enlisted in two different states (beginning with the letter
I). I truly believe this could be an error. But,
of course, I could be wrong.. |

Purdy, Stacy J. He was born Jan. 8, 1849, in

correct. His sister Esther is buried in Hillcrest

"This is the first day of the new year, and
so I resolved to write to you. I am
feeling fine and I guess all of the other boys
are as well. There is a lot of snow on the
ground, but it does not seem so cold for winter
time. I believe it is warmer here than in
the states.
We had a find New Year's dinner today --
turkey, mashed potatoes, and best of all,
pumpkin pie. the other fellows are singing
and playing the victrola. They make so
much noise I can hardly think of anything to
write about. We are having a big time
today for it is a holiday for all of us.
We have a pretty good place for our home.
It is warm and we are getting United States
food, so everything is fine.
I suppose you wondered what we did Christmas
day. We had a tree, with everything
decorated with holly and evergreen trees.
Our large tree had candles all over it. I
thought of your house, with all the family
around the tree when we had the presents
distributed. Every man received find
gifts. Thus you see Santa Claus did not
forget us away over here in France.
We all think the war will be over this
spring, and I hope we are all thinking right,
for we are anxious to get back to the good old
United States again. Write when you can.
I wish you might send a little of the candy you
always had on your sideboard in the ding room. |

casket, honored and revered by a large group of

to rest yesterday afternoon in Elmwood cemetery,

Funeral rites were conducted in Memorial

of the G. A. R. and veterans of Spanish and
world wars.
Rev. C. E. Luce, Cresco, Ia, formerly pastor
of St. Paul's Methodist church here, friend of
the decedent for more than 40 years, gave the
eulogy and sermon. He drew a memory
picture of the staunch American family in the
midst of which was a little lad, William
Refsnider, and carried him through life's
vicissitudes of nearly 80 years.
Touching upon the memorable period of the
veteran's life when he served his country in the
Civil War he paid a tribute of praise for the
patriotic thoughts that surged through the young
man's mind as he answered the call to arms.
Rev. Mr. Luce, then a small boy, lived in the
Mr. Refsnider's home town when the soldier
returned from war. "I had known him ever
since. He never ceased to love his country
and his flag," he said.
"Of a social nature, he was a companionable
companion to his old comrades here in Memorial
hall as they gathered frequently to talk over
the days of long ago. This man's face,
this man's voice, will forever be linked in
memory with the past of that heroic time when
the nation was saved from disaster thru civil
strife."
Rev. Mr. Luce closed his tribute with the
beautiful poem dedicated to the dead soldier:
"Goodnight, old friend; lights out; goodnight.":
Dr. Charles D. Darling, pastor of Westminster
Presbyterian church, assisted in the services,
giving the prayer. A quartet from the
Woman's Relief corps sang "Rock of Ages", Face
to Face", and "One Vacant Chair". Officers
of the G. A. R. and Woman's Relief Corps
conducted the burial ceremonies. Archie Webb
sounded "taps" at the grave.

Jan. 18, 1917Mrs. Asa Butler has a family
relic which she prizes very highly. It is
a snare drum that was owned by her father, the
late Joseph Ripley and while the drum did not
see actual service in the war of 1861-65, it
participated in the events of those stirring
times. Mr. Ripley played it here in 1861,
at the mustering in of the 27th Iowa and he
accompanied the boys as far as Dubuque on their
way to the south. His brother A. J. Ripley
and also a cousin,
R. R. Bean
were members of the 27th Infantry and the drum
did its part toward instilling patriotism into
the hearts of the boys of the regiment before
their departure. |

July 18, 1907An Old Resident Passes Away.
After an illness of several weeks, S. S.
Sample passed away at his home in this city at
an early hour Wednesday morning.
Mr. Sample had been an invalid for years,
which was caused from a long and serious siege
of lung fever that he had while in the army, but
for the past few weeks he has been a great
sufferer and he longed for death to relieve him
of his sufferings. The Angel of Death hovered
over the home before the loved one was (?) but
at three o'clock Wednesday morning the weary
sufferer was at rest.
Smiley S. Sample was born at Jacksonville,
Ill., July 23, 1832. He moved to Lee
county Iowa and from there to Bradford, in about
1857, where he lived for two years, after which
he moved to Nashua, where he resided for fifty
years with the exception of but three years
spent in Lee County. He was married to
Eliza Ann Harris Nov. 30, 1856, and three
children blessed their home. Charles William,
and Mrs. Nellie M. Tracy, of St. Paul, and
Frances, who preceded the father to the other
shore 29 years ago. He enlisted in the
civil war from Chickasaw county in the 27th
Regiment Iowa Infantry in August, 1862 and was
honorable discharged August 1865. He was
promoted three times, first to the office of 1st
corporal, second to sergeant and third to 2nd
lieutenant. For a number of years he
conducted a restaurant and bakery in Nashua but
finally retired to private life.
The deceased was highly respected in this
community where he has lived for many years of
his life. He was a quiet, honorable
citizen, a loving father and a kind husband to
the wife who has stood faithfully by his side
"in sickness, in health" for over 50 years.
Mr. C. W. Sample was with his father in his
dying hours but his daughter, Mrs. Nellie Tracy,
was unable to be present as she is quite sick in
a hospital in St. Paul.
The funeral will be held at the

Sinden officiating, and the remains will be laid
to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Nashua, Iowa
Dec. 11, 1902Accidentally Killed
James Shannon Meets Death Friday From the
Accidental Discharge of a Gun
A sad accident happened at the farm of M.
Milligan, about four miles southwest of town
last Friday afternoon about four o'clock in
which James Shannon, a young man about 27 years
of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shannon, of
Brooklyn, was almost instantly killed by the
accidental discharge of a shot gun.
Mr. Shannon had been working for Geo. Horton
and on that afternoon borrowed Mr. Horton's gun
and went down into the field to look for
rabbits. Not being successful in finding
any games he went on to the Milligan home and
stopped to talk to the Milligan boys.
While talking one of the boys took the gun to
shoot at a flock of sparrows, but they flew away
before he could get a shot at them and he laid
the gun across some chicken coops, and while
they stood talking the gun in some way slid from
the coop and was discharged as it fell, the
enter load from one barrel striking Shannon, who
was only about two feet distant, in the right
side in the lower ribs and lodged near the back
bone. He gave one cry and put his hand to
his side, staggered a few steps and fell to the
ground. One of the boys ran to the house
for help and Mr. Milligan came down and he was
picked up and carried to the house, death
ensuing on the way. The youngest Milligan
boy at once went for a doctor and word was sent
to the family, of the terrible accident which
had so suddenly removed one of its members.
Coroner Dennis, of Charles City, was notified
and came down and empanelled a jury composed of
Mr. Hamilton, of Charles City, and Geo. Horton
and Lou Dyas, and the verdict was accidental
shooting.
No blame was attached to anyone as the
tragedy was due to no act of carelessness on the
part of either the victim or those with whom he
was in company.
After the inquest the remains were conveyed

June 30, 1910Jacob Shannon met with quite a
painful accident Tuesday. He was leading
his horse when it jerked back and in order to
save himself from falling he grabbed for
something and got hold of a wire fence, cutting
his hand quite badly in several places. |

Jacob Shannon was 70 years of age last week Thursday (it's a fact,
even if he does not look it) and some of his comrades of Co. G, 27th
Iowa Inft., and their wives, aided and abetted by his good wife, planned
a surprise on him. "Jake" was over to Bradford doing some work and
when he returned home along toward the noon hour he found the place in
possession of his comrades, and he admits that he was taken entirely by
surprise and surrendered without firing a shot. A sumptuous dinner
was served to the party, 20 or 25 in all and a most enjoyable afternoon
passed.
It has been the custom of the survivors
of this company living in this vicinity to hold a reunion each year at
the home of some comrade and this year they combined the reunion and Mr.
Shannon's birthday into one event. All of the survivors of his
company in this vicinity, except Dyer Hall, who was too ill to leave his
home, and Geo. N. Potter,
who was unable to be present for business reasons, were out to help Mr.
Shannon celebrate his three score and ten years, which he carries so
well.
The guests presented Mr. Shannon
with a beautiful span of horses, little gold ones, just the right size
for a neat watch charm.
At the closing event of the day
the "old vets" went in a body to the home of their comrade, Dyer Hall,
and brightened the day for him with a hearty handshake and cheering
words. |

Feb. 15, 1917Wedded Fifty-One Years
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shannon passed the
fifty-first milestone of their wedded life last
Saturday and their children who live in this
vicinity surprised them by coming home for the
day and bringing a good dinner with them.
Mr. and Mrs. Shannon are among our best people
and have a wide circle of friends who will
congratulate them on rounding out so many years
of happy married life. Mr. Shannon has not
been in good health this winter and does not get
out much, but here's hoping as the spring days
come on he will improve in health and that he
will be able to get out and mingle more often
with his comrades and friends. |
We are sorry to learn that Jake Shannon, who has been
very poorly for a long time past, is now confined to his
bed. (The Nashua Reporter, July 11, 1918).

Aug. 2, 1923The "Big Four" Celebrate
The "Big Four" comprising of Mrs. Sarah Hicok,
Mrs. Morella Parish, Mrs. Jacob Shannon and Mrs.
Marian Knight, held their annual reunion on
Friday of Last week at the home of Mrs. Sarah
Hicok. There other ladies brought Mrs.
Hicok a huge bouquet, and the main event of the
day was a delicious chicken pie dinner, followed
by hours of social intercourse and recounting
old times.
The "Big Four" is rather a unique
organization. It dates back some 20 years
or more years at which time the husbands of the
four ladies who were all members of the same
regiment during the Civil War, held an annual
reunion, and naturally, their wives joined in
the celebration, and usually presented one of
the veterans with a gift, each husband being
presented with a comfortable chair in turn.
One by one the veteran husbands answered the
final roll call until all have been mustered
out. The faithful wives, however, have
kept up the reunions, never missing a years, and
at each reunion the associations and memories
grow dearer and dearer.
(NOTE I have been unable to determine who
Mrs. Marian Knight is) |

Factory, was born in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, N. Y., March 9,
1836, a son of George E. Smith, Sr., a cabinet-maker by trade, and

Episcopal church. George P., Jr. was the eldest of a family of nine
children, and when two years old removed with his parents to Saratoga,
N.Y., where his father embarked in the furniture business. He attended
school there until twelve years of age when the family located in
Burlington, Vt. His father assisted in the building of the Vermont
Central R. R., and on its completion, George, Jr., was employed as
fireman on an engine, and gradually rose to the position of engineer on
both a freight and passenger engine. In January 1861, he came to Iowa,
locating in Floyd, Floyd County. He enlisted in August 1862, in Company
G, Twenty-seventh Iowa Infantry Volunteers, and served until the close
of the war, being promoted in 1864 to rank of Quartermaster of his
regiment. Upon leaving the service he came to Charles City and engaged
in running stationary engines until 1875, when he purchased a half
interest in his present factory with D. Andrews, and in December 1881,
Mr. Andrews sold his interest to Geo. T. Willman, who in March 1882,
disposed of his interest to Mr. Smith, who has since conducted it alone.

of the kind in Floyd County, and the second established in Northwestern

Smith, Myron. He was born about 1844 in Vermont.
It would appear that he is the son of Hiram Smith (Jan 6,
1807 - Apr. 27, 1881) and Marie Mariah Howard (April 15,
1806 - April 11, 1898). HOWEVER every single family
tree shows his date of death as April 1881 - some say
in Floyd County. Some say in Little Rock. The
Myron Smith that served with the 27 Iowa died Nov. 20, 1863
at Little Rock. I do note that his father HIRAM Smith
died April 1881. I wonder if someone typed the wrong
death date for Myron and it was just copied by everyone
else. I do not find a Myron Smith born about 1844 in
Vermont in either the 1870 or 1880 census. But if he
really did die in 1881, then I have the wrong Myron Smith.

| An account of his death is found in "Hard

Rolfe letters, page 133:
"Sept 27, 1864) Our Regt was ordered
into Line[.] soon the order came to pack
up Everything and Load it on the Carrs and
we Left Mineral Point at noon[.] we took up all the Bridge guards but
they was so heavy loaded[,] we had to get off and push the train to get
started[.] we took one Rebble prisoner and he took the Gun from the
Sargent of the Guard and snapped it at him & Run but they got him & in
the night on the Carrs he killd the Shergent & stabbd 3 others with his
pocket knife than one of Co. B. Run his Bayonet through him 8 times and
he Lived 3 hours after[.] he was a Spy and a perfect Savage.
Sept 28th 1864) slept on the Carrs all night[.] In the morning the
Rebble was alive and the men took him and Hung him and than they thought
he was dead[.]"
Another account is found in the
diary of Charles Ewringmann
On the 24th we caught a guerilla there (Shelly Coole) who was
just about to burn a bridge over the railroad; he was held under guard but tried
to escape by taking the rifle from the guard and then tried to shoot the
sergeant, but he was recaptured and watched closely.
On the morning of the 25th the enemy showed itself at Pilot
Knob. There they had besieged General Ewing with his 700 men but they had to
retreat with a loss of 1,200 men, whereon the garrison left the fort and
fortunately got to Centralia.
The 24th Missouri, which wanted to get to Pilot Knob, could not
get through and came back on the morning of the 25th. The troops were positioned
in battle lines in order to hold back the enemy until the preparations for
leaving the place were complete.
Ours and 2 other companies were placed on the depot and as soon
as the first rail car was ready we went back with it to the Merrimac bridge
where we stayed. In the evening the other troops came too and we took a
good position on a ridge, the river in front of us.
The next morning we went to DeSoto and on the 28th back to
Jefferson Barracks. On the way from Mineral Point to DeSoto the guerilla had cut
the throat of the sergeant that guarded him so that he immediately fell down
dead, then wounded still 4 others and then looked for an escape. He was
recaptured, terribly mishandled, and hanged the next morning in DeSoto; at that
time he confessed to have killed 31 people in all.

April 20, 1911Mr. and Mrs. Ami Young, who
were called to Anacortes, Wash., six or
seven weeks ago by the sickness of their
son, who was suffering from diabetes,
returned home Monday evening. The
Pacific slope climate didn't agree with Mr.
Young and he was sick a great deal of the
time while there, so as their son was up and
around Mr. and Mrs. Young decided to return
home. He was quite poorly when they
arrived, but after thoroughly resting at
home for several days we hope to see him
like himself once more. |
Ami S. Young died April 25, 1911.
