| 501 | Donald Dwight Luther was the son of Vida Virginia Wilson Luther and Daniel J. Luther of LaCrescent Minnesota. He was born May 7th 1917 and died on August 23rd 1921. At the time, he was living with his parents and brother and sisters at Tabernash Colorado, where his father was working on the Moffatt Railroad tunnel through the Rockies. The Company building the Tunnel decided to have a summer picnic, which was "Pot-luck"...... you know how little kids love to put olives on their fingers and then eat them off? Donald loved Olives! Unfortunately for our dear sweet boy, he ate olives that were home canned, and tainted with botulism. Being in the top of the Rockies, and no medical services equipped to handle poisoning, he died from eating those tainted olives. He was/is sadly missed by his family, mom and dad especially, but brother and sisters alike. Rest well dear brother - we miss you! | Luther, Donald Dwight (I4802)

| 534 | Essex County Republican Keeseville, Essex county, NY Thursday, Feb. 15, 1872 In West Chazy, Jan 31, 1872, Mrs. Lucy DOUGLASS. Facts connected with the life and character of our venerable dead, clothe her history with, to us, more than usual interest. Mother DOUGLASS' life spanned nearly a hundred years. She entered upon her earthly career before the formation of our Republic, being born April 20th, 1776, some three months before the Declaration of American Independence. She had therefore nearly completed her 96th year. April 13th, 1794, nearly 78 years ago, she was united in marriage with Mr. George DOUGLASS, with whom she lived about 58 years, and by whom she had eleven children – eight sons and three daughters – five of whom only survive her. Fifty-five years ago, though converted some little time before, she with a few other noble and self-sacrificing once assumed the responsibility of Church organization, and thus was given life to the first Baptist Church in town, with which she remained a true and devoted member. She was intelligent in zeal, consistent in live, and resigned and triumphant in death. From my first acquaintance with mother DOUGLASS, down to the last visit I made her, a day or two before her release, I saw that she was no ordinary person. Though bowed down with the infirmities of almost a century, she was remarkable for the strength of her constitution, the elasticity of her step, the clearness of her mind, the freshness of her memory, readily calling incidents that occurred all along back up to her earliest girlhood, and not unfrequently would she correct her children as to dates and other matters long since passed, and whenever an appeal was made to the record, she was always "justified of her children." Her apprehension of justification by faith and the witness of the Spirit was as sensitive as when she first took a view of brighter scenes above. She was hopeful and happy to the last, ready for the angel choir, and when finally she weary wheels of life stood still, they came and bore her away on their snowy wings to her immortal home. "Would you sit by the banks of the River, With the friends you have loved by your side; Would you join in the song of the angels? Then be ready to follow your guide." Yours, M.A. WICKER. | Whitford, Lucy (I4856)

Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the County, Together with Biographies and Portraits of all the Presidents of the United States. Lake City Publishing Co. Chicago, Chapman Publishing Company, Printers and Binders, 1895. (Volume located in Minnesota Historical Society) Page 268 Jerod Brown. JEROD BROWN, a farmer residing on section 7, Dresbach Township, claims New York as the state of his nativity. He was born in Clinton County on the 4th of March, 1830, and under the parental roof was reared to manhood, the days of his boyhood and youth being quietly passed. When he had arrived at man's estate he started out in life, and has since been dependent on his own resources, so that whatever success be has achieved is due entirely to his own efforts. His first work was in a sawmill, where he received $16 per month in compensation for his services. This mill was located on the Hudson River, and he was there employed for about three years, after which he started westward, having determined to try his fortune on the broad prairies of the Mississippi Valley. He started in April,1852, and on the 8th of May reached Bunnell's Landing. Soon after he came to Dakota, where he engaged in chopping wood and working on the railroad. He followed various pursuits whereby he might earn an honest living until his marriage, when he turned his attention to farming. On the 4th of November, 1855, Mr. Brown was united in marriage with Miss Harriet C. Mott, daughter of Annis Mott. They began their domestic life on section 1, New Hartford Township, where Mr. Brown had a farm of one hundred and sixty acres. There he made his home for thirty-five years, giving his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. He prospered in his undertakings, and his enterprise and industry were rewarded by a comfortable competence. He afterward removed to his present home, where he owns ten acres of land, which is devoted to the raising of berries. This is his only business, and it yields him an income sufficient for his present wants, and he has a snug sum laid by for a rainy day. To Mr. and Mrs. Brown were born five children, three of whom are yet living. Ann Eliza, born January 10, 1857, died December 30, 1861; Olive T., born January 25, 1860, is the wife of Edward F. Shippey, who resides on the old homestead farm in New Hartford Township; Leonard J., born October 21, 1862, lives on the farm with his sister; Vincent C., born March 21, 1866, makes his home in Appleton, Minn.; and Charles L., born March 26, 1873, died November 3, 1882. Mr. Brown is numbered among the pioneer settlers of Winona County. On leaving his old home in the East lie went by stage from Glens Falls to Port Edward, and thence by rail to Buffalo, N. Y., where he took passage on a boat bound for Detroit, Mich. From that place lie proceeded by rail to New Buffalo, Mich., and thence took a boat to Milwaukee, whence he proceeded to the end of the railroad, a distance of twenty-nine miles. Here he again took a stage and went across the country to Galena, Ill., and thence by boat continued on his way to Homer, Minn. Here he went through all the experiences and hardships of frontier life. His first home was a log cabin, which was later replaced by a good frame residence. He also built a good frame barn, cleared his land of the timber, and has transformed one hundred and sixty acres of raw prairie into one of the finest farms of the county. | Brown, Jerod (I83)

Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the County, Together with Biographies and Portraits of all the Presidents of the United States. Lake City Publishing Co. Chicago, Chapman Publishing Company, Printers and Binders, 1895. (Volume located in Minnesota Historical Society) Page. 379 Oliver W. Tibbetts. OLIVER W. TIBBETTS is one of the enterprising, wide-awake and valued citizens of Dakota, Winona County. He is engaged in contracting, also operates a stone-quarry for the Government, and carries the mail from Ridgeway to Dakota. Mr. Tibbetts is a western man by birth, for he claims Linn County, Iowa, as the place of his nativity. He was born December 28, l853, and is a son of Jeremiah W. and Catherine (Mainard) Tibbetts, the father a native of Indiana, the mother born near Ottawa, province of Ontario, Canada. The father was a farmer by occupation, and in 1849 emigrated to Minnesota, locating in Dresbach, where he engaged in business as an Indian trader for a time. He then removed to Iowa, but after a year spent in the Hawkeye. State, took up his residence in the village of Dakota, this county. For several years he spent much time going back and forth between the two places, but at this writing, in the fall of 1894, he is located in the city of Winona. Oliver W. Tibbetts was reared under the parental roof, remaining at home until the day before he attained his majority. At that time, December 27, 1874, he was united in marriage with Miss Alice Wilson, daughter of J.G.and Sarah (Brown) Wilson, both of whom were natives of New York, but now reside upon a farm in this county. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Tibbetts, three of whom are yet living. Ethel May, born October 9, 1875, and Edith C., born December 12, 1877, are still at home; George W., born October 18, 1879, is the only son and the pride of the family. Alice M., born March 24, 1885, died on the 2d of November of the same year. Mr. Tibbetts had no capital at the time of his marriage, but possessed a young man's bright hope of the future, and a determination to succeed, and with a resolute purpose began farming on rented land. He worked hard, and practiced economy, and at the end of a year was enabled to purchase forty acres of land, to which he removed. With characteristic industry lie began its development, and five years later purchased another tract of forty acres. He then sold out, paid off all indebtedness, and began work at day labor. He now owns some property in the village, besides his stone quarry, all of which has been acquired through perseverance, industry and good management. He also owns an imported Clydesdale, which has taken more prizes than any other horse ever took in the show ring, being one of the finest heavy draft horses in the United Stales. Mr. Tibbetts manifests a commendable interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community, and the cause of education finds in him a warm friend. He had no special school privileges himself, but resolved that his children should not lack in that direction, and is giving them good advantages. He is now serving as Constable of Dakota, a position he has filled for about six years with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents.

| 540 | Excerpt: Letter from Delores Watson to Larry Wilson, 12/2/1992 In early summer of 1942 my sister, Florence Evenson and her husband Harry, came to Portland, Oregon to work in the shipyards. They left their two daughters with my mother and me to care for until they could get situated in the city of Portland. They traveled by auto, bringing their son, Harold, with them. At that time, my father owned an eighty-acre farm five and one half miles north of Williams, MN. We, like so many people living in the rural areas, left home and hearth to seek work in the industrial war boom of the big cities. My father, Del Wilson, preceded my mother and me to the west coast and was working in Seattle, Washington. In late July 1942, my sister and her husband were settled in Portland and wanted mother and me to bring the two girls (Lois and Joyce) to Portland. There was a Mr. Harry Denton in the Williams area who was using his truck to take passengers to the west coast and haul produce back to the Williams area. My mother, Lois, Joyce and I along with female members of three other families settled ourselves comfortably in the back of Mr. Denton's truck (it resembled a modern U-Haul truck)and headed west. I quit my job as a waitress earning $12.00 every two weeks. Upon arriving in Portland, obtained a job cleaning passenger railroad cars earning $4.00 per day. For this 20 year old, I felt as though I was on "cloud 9". My husband Ralph, is from Norton, N. C. He had lived on the west coast since 1936 but only a few months in Portland. We met through a mutual acquaintence. A short, fast courtship as many were in those days, we were married in Portland on October 15, 1942. We recently celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary. Uncle John Wilson's son Woody and his wife Margaret were among our guests. | Wilson, Dolores M. (I445)

| 543 | Family, descendants from "Reed Family History," by Nellie Reed Sutherland: "Some of these children were born near North Adams after the family moved to western Massachusetts." "Jacob Barney, 1634" p 123 by Mary E. Wesbrook, 1982. birth: from WFT #7:1337 parents: from WFT #7:1337 sources from Rehoboth Roots; Updated: Mar 19, 2002. Contact: Jim Bullock Notes from John Culp DAR Lineage Book 31:22 "Reed Family History," by Mrs. Nellie Reed Sutherland, DAR ID Number: 30067 Born in Mt. Morris, New York. Wife of Arthur E. Sutherland. Descendant of Joshua Reed. Daughter of Frederick Reed and Honora Egan, his wife. Granddaughter of Benjamin Reed and Betsey Allen, his wife. Gr.-granddaughter of Benjamin Reed and Elizabeth Reed, his wife. Gr.-gr.-granddaughter of Joshua Reed and Betsey Barney, his wife. "The descendants of Joshua are eligible to membership in the D.A.R. and S.A.R. because of his services in establishing the independence of the colonies. My own memberhsip in the D.A.R. came through Susan B. Anthony's furnishing me a little book,"History of pittsfield, Mass.," I think written by a lawyer by the name of Parker or Barker, and published about 50 years ago. In it he describes the early settlement of Cheshire, North Adams and other Berkshire towns in Massachusetts, and the Read family is mentioned a number of times. I think Betsey Read (wife of Joshua) hwas some special mention also. In that book is a record of Joshua Read's going out under Captain Brown who led a company of militia, apparently a local company which marched to points north toward the Vermont border and as far south as Long Island Sound. Susan claimed to know from her grandfather, Daniel Read, that Joshua was also at the battle of Stone Arabia within the present boundaries of New York state." "Joshua Read marched under Captain Daniel Brown of Lanesborough, now Cheshire, to Paulet, Vermont headquarters of General Lincoln on Sept. 5, 1777, to defend to frontier against Burgoyne and the Tories. He also marched in the same command during the weeks of Oct 13, 20th, and 27th, 1780, when his company was called upon to defend settlers during a raid in the Mohawk Valley. Also, on July 13th, 1779, he went out with his company under the command of Lt. White and was sent to New Haven." "Joshua Read of Swansea, Mass. (he also lived in Scituate for a time) was married to Betty Barney of Rehoboth on Nov. 18, 1753, by Elder Richard Round Jr. Their intentions were published Oct. 20, 1753 (just a month previous to the wedding). This information is found in "Vital Records of Rehoboth," by Arnold. Betty Barney was born April 14, 1733, daughter of Daniel and Else (Wheaton) Barney, both of Rehoboth. Their record also is found in Arnold's "Vital Records of Rehoboth." Daniel Barney and Else Wheaton were married Feb. 24, 1726/27 by Rev. David Turner. Their intentions were published Jan. 1, 1726/27. From page 20 of Arnold's "Vital Records of Rehoboth," Daniel Barney was born Nov. 20, 1697, son of Joseph Barney and his wife Constance (last name unknown). They all lived at Rehoboth. I believe your grandfather was named Joseph Barney after this man who was his great grandfather." Joshua Reed was a minute man in the Massachusetts militia under Capt. Daniel Brown for the defense of the frontier, 1777-80. He was born in Scituate, R. I.; removed, 1770, to Cheshire, Mass. (Downloaded 17 September 1998, from www.ancestry.com) From Michigan Historical Record, DAR, 1893 - 1930, Vol. II: 4557 Reed, Joshua, pvt. Mass, b. abt. 1732, d. aft. 1779, m. 1753 Betsey Barney at Rehoboth, Mass. Desc. Ida Crego Also: 4539 Read, Joshua - same information with Desc. Ida Amelia Crego (Minnesota Historical Library, 9 Jan 1999) John Culp For the record, the 1790 and 1800 Berkshire Census shows: 1790 Berkshire Co., Adams Town Census Read, Elizabeth: Males none, Females 2 Read, Benjamin: Males 4 over 16, 1 under 16, Females 2 Read, Daniel: Males 1 under 16, 1 over 16, Females 3 Read, Joshua: Males 2 under 16, 1 over 16, Females 2 1800 Berkshire Co. Read, Benjamin, p. 155: Males 1 from 10 to 15, 3 from 16 to 25, and 1 over 45 Females 1 under 10, 2 from 26 to 45 Reed, Daniel, p. 156: Males 1 under 10, 1 from 26 to 45 (Daniel b. 18 September 1754) Females 1 under 10, 1 from 10 to 15, 1 from 15 to 26, and 1 over 45 It doesn't seem that young Joshua would have died 1 Oct. 1777. Isn't that him in the 1790 census? Did he stretch his age a little? Elizabeth would seem to show as a head of household in 1790, and maybe is living with Daniel, her oldest son in 1800. What happened to Daniel's wife? Shouldn't she show as a 26 to 45 year old? | Read, Joshua (I2124)
