| 603 | From the Winona Sunday News, Sunday, December 10, 1967, page 7A: She Stayed in House Despite Bulldozers By RUTH ROGERS Sunday News Area Editor LAMOILLE, Minn. - A forÂmer Daily and Sunday News correspondent will be 90 years old Tuesday. If this newspaper were still publishing neighborhood news columns, Mrs. Edith Stanton might still be wilting for us from Richmond as she did for 25 years, but when the Winona Republican-Herald, forerunner of today's publication, disconÂtinued the “local†news items in 1945, she resigned. THIS PRETTY little woman, however, could write a book about her experiences and those of her family. Her alert mind remembers everything about her forebears, the Tibbetts and Wilsons, without a glance at the manuscripts and letters that tell the same story. Words tumble out about her experiences as a 16-year-old star route mail carrier; about CouÂsin Luther who raised the first seedless (navel) oranges that made millionaires of California growers overnight; the 200 pounds of shelled nuts she sold each season; of being routed from her home by highway building; of 16 people all sick with smallpox in a tiny pioÂneer home. She'll pause from her houseÂwork-she lives alone and does her own cleaning and cooking-to sing all nine verses of a song written a century ago by a Tibbetts who left “Old Buck-eve†(Ohio) and sailed up the Mississippi River in a boat that “rang her bell at Catlin in the Minnesota Valley, the beauty of the West.†She'll bring out an old violin her father played. It's a Joseph Guarnerius, made in Italy in 1715. “Ole Bull (famous vioÂlinist) played a Guarnerius,†she'll have you to know. It's said only seven were made; Oliver Tibbetts picked it up from a blacksmith in Dakota. SHE NOT only knows the eastern part of Winona County, where she lives, but the westÂern part, too; she taught school at Lewiston and St. Charles. The former Edith Cicel TibÂbetts, she was born Dec. 12, 1887, on a 60-acre farm in DaÂkota Valley, New Hartford Township. to Oliver W. and Mary Alice Wilson Tibbetts. “My second name isn't Cecil,†she explained; “it's Cicel; the pronunciation is on the second syllable, with a long e.†The Tibbetts name is derived from the occupation of tipÂpet making, a popular employÂment in medieval days when tippets were worn by both sexes in the highest ranks of life, even by royalty. The tippet, a hat with a long scarf or tassel, has found its way into modern life; knitted versions of a similar type are popular among the younger set. VERSIONS OF her family name run far back in history, but the first of the Tibbetts from whom Edith is directly descended came to New EngÂland from old England in 1635 and have fought in all the wars of this land. The first of the family to come west settled in Ohio in 1807, in Indiana in 1816, in Iowa in 1843, and in Dakota, Minn., in 1847. Jeremiah Tibbetts of WaverÂly, Bremer County, Iowa, came to Southeastern Minnesota when he was 17 with his friends, the Dakotah Indians, who asked him to accompany them as inÂterpreter. They camped on the present site of Dakota, which Jeremiah named for redskins. He built a shack, transported provisions up the Mississippi by Canoe from Prairie du Chien, and started a trading post, In 1848 Jeremiah accompaÂnied the Indians to St. Paul. By this time he could speak six Indian dialects. Alexander RamÂsay, territorial governor. sent him into the Big Wood country in Iowa to negotiate an agreeÂment with hostile Indians. At first they were inclined to kill any messenger from the govÂernor, but as they had known Jeremiah as a boy they agreed to accompany him to St. Paul; but before they left they held a dance in his honor. JEREMIAH stayed In St. Paul until 1849, then sold his land in the center of the preseant city and trekked back to Dakota with two yoke of oxen and a span of horses. At Dakota he found a trader, Peleau, in possession of his hut and repossessed it. Nathan Brown, who had settled north of him that year, was his only neighbor. This energetic and restless young man worked on the rivÂer, in 1853 took a quarter secÂtion of land on the ridge southÂwest of Dakota which was called Tibbett's Hill and later Mark's Hill, and the same year married Catherine Isabel MaynÂard (accent on the last sylÂlable), whose French Canadian family came from Ottawa and settled at Dresbach. Theirs was the first wedding in Dresbach. He took his bride to Mt. Vernon, Iowa, to live with relatives, and there their son, Oliver, Mrs. Stanton's faÂther, was born. JEREMIAH'S father, George, the first of the Tibbetts to come to Iowa, had followed his son to Dakota Valley in 1850 and took up a farm south of where George Zenke now lives. JereÂmiah was back in Dakota lookÂing after his holdings when smallpox broke out in the setÂtlement where his family was staying. When the head of the household died, he went back to get his family and the remainÂing four relatives, bringing them up the Mississippi on the Gray Eagle which landed at La Crescent, and thence to the house 16 by 20 feet that George had built. The smallpox came with them, and the 16 people living in this tiny house fell ill. George died there in 1855 at 56, and one of the children from Iowa died. They were buried on the hillside hack of the house, where panthers, common in those days, molested their little cemetery. The others recovered, and Dr. Lynch of Winona took JereÂmiah's wife with him on his rounds to help other victims of the pox since she now was imÂmune. LATER THE hillside coffins were moved to the Wilson Cemetery in Dakota Valley, land which was donated by James Wilson, who had marÂried Sarah Brown, sister of NaÂthan Brown. The cemetery is still there, bypassed by new I-90 grading. James Wilson was the father of Alice Wilson, later Mrs. Oliver Tibbetts and of Dr. ClarÂence Wilson, who became a doctor at Dakota. Dr. T. H. Wilson, retired Winona physiciÂan now living at Catlin's Rock, Richmond Township is a son of Dr. Clarence Wilson. By 1881 Oliver Tibbetts had purchased lots from Nathan Brown in Dakota, which he had platted, and built a home. There his wife died at 29 a few months after giving birth to her fourth child. Edith Cicel was then seven years old. Edith attended the Dakota school, took the teacher's examÂination at the courthouse in Winona under Supt. L. V. WilÂbur. and taught in the Firth District, Lewiston; Koepsel District north of St. Charles near Elba; Dick School on the ridge above Dakota; two years in the primary school at Dakota, and was teaching at the Richmond school when she coaxed a handsome young man named William Jacob Stanton to play the violin at school programs, EDITH AND young Stanton were married June 25, 1904. They first lived in Miller's Valley west of the present Twin Bluffs Motel on the farm his father, Lewis Stanton, had set-tied in 1887. It remained in the family until this year when it was sold to Franklin Krause of Winona. Edith's experiences, closely linked with roads, began when she was 16; occasionally she covered her father's 26-mile star mail route with a horse and buggy. The long day began at 8:45 a.m. at the Dakota post office. First stop, Ashton station on the right to the south-west. Second stop, Ridgeway, where she rested and fed her horse and ate her packed lunch. Third stop New Hartford, and then back to Dakota by 6 p.m. In 1910 Edith and her husband moved onto a farm fronting the Mississippi River a short distance southeast of Millers Valley. The first dirt road the built up Mississippi River Valley in 1854 ran through their farm just under the Twin Bluffs; signs of it still are visÂible on the property where she lives. THEIR berry-growing and pasture farm began disappearÂing in the early 1920s when the state paid them $500 an acre for 2½ acres of frontage along the river for the first two-lane concrete slab from La Crescent to Winona - U.S. 61. Mr. Stanton, Richmond Town clerk 28 years, winner of achievement awards for sale of Liberty Bonds during World War I and for serving on the Selective Service Board in World War II, did not live to see the rest of the land taken for the four-lane highway; he died of a heart attack in l952. Through some misunderstandÂing the road graders moved onto her land before it had been purchased and Mrs. Stanton reÂfused to leave her home even though the earth-moving maÂchinery roared around her and she was left literally high and dry. When she finally settled for $25 000, she climbed down out of her back door on a ladÂder Sept. 6, 1957, and went to live with her sons until her litÂtle home on the service road, at the foot of King's Bluff, was ready. THE DAYS when she sold carefully packed sacks of nut-meats at Kindts, Dorn's and Pletke's groceries and to individuals like Judge Loobv in Winona and to the Bodega restaurant m La Crosse are over but not forgotten. She's busy writing Christmas notes to relatives and friends all over the country. There are Tibbetts in Portland. Ore.; grandfather George's brother, Gideon, lived here. Gideon and Mary streets are named for him and his wife, and Tibbetts Street bisects the Waverly-Richmond District named for him and perhaps for that WavÂerly in Iowa and Richmond in Winona County. One of Edith's favorite stories is about Luther Tibbett, who like her father, was a seventh generation descendant from the Henry Tibbett who came to this country in 1635. FROM HIS FARM in what is now Riverside. Calif., he drove horses 65 miles to Los Angeles in December 1873, to get a small parcel containing three little orange trees which the U.S. Department of Agriculture had secured from Bahia, Brazil. for experimental purposes. Luther got them beÂcause his wife was a relative of Gen. Butler in Congress. Luther planted them beside his cabin. One was chewed up by a cow. By 1877, the other two each bore two oranges-the first seedless oranges grown outside the Amazon swamps. This started what has been called the most remarkable real estate boom in the history of this country; land which had gone begging at $30 an acre sold readily at $800 to $l,000 an acre for the planting of the new crop. The two parent trees plantÂed by Tibbetts now are fenced in on the grounds of Mission Inn, Riverside. With them is a marker telling the story and bearing the Tibbetts name. MRS. STANTON has two sons: Donald W., Lamoille, maintenance foreman with the state Highway Department, and Welford, also employed by the state Highway, who lives near Queen's Bluff. She has five grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Donald's sons are Robert L., La Crescent, diesel engineer with Kertzman Dredging, LaÂmoille, and Tom W., lineman with Northern States Power Co., Winona. Welford has three children: Bruce, Winona County deputy sheriff; Richard, teacher at Washington-Kosciusko school, Winona, and Mrs. Rolland (Jean) Smith, Dakota. Wearing a hearing aid doesÂn't bother this sprightly woman who'll be 90 this week; she has a loud speaker on her teleÂvision set. She's had a cataract removed from one eye but sees handily through her magnified glasses. She's worried a bit about her high blood pressure. but nothing interferes with her interest in life and her good spirits. | Tibbetts, Edith Cicel (I453)

| 608 | GBFA p.25: The Reverend Ephraim Wheaton was the 9th son of a clergyman, and is believed to be a descendant of Robert Wheaton who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1636. Ephraim Wheaton lived in Southern massachusetts all his life. One of his descendants is Judge Laban Wheaton who founded the Wheaton Seminary College at Norton, Mass. Among the children of the Rev. Ephraim and Mary (Mason) Wheaton are: a. Alice (or "Else") Wheaton, b. Nov. 26, 1700; md. #39 Daniel Barney. b. Freelove Wheaton, b. June 1, 1703; md. #46 Josiah Barney. "Reed Family History," by Mrs. Nellie Reed Sutherland: "Ephraim Wheaton was the son of Robert Wheaton, an early settler in Rehoboth, owning land there in 1658. In the double Volume 1 and 2 of Arnold's "Vital Records," on page 20, he says Robert Wheaton and Elce Bowen were married about 1636 at Salem, Mass. Elce Bowen was the daughter of Richard Bowen who was one of the early Pilgrims. Robert Wheaton followed Roger Williams from Salem south toward Providence in 1638 or about that date. The Wheaton family has produced many famous ministers and judges. Two of the latter endowed the Wheaton Female Seminary (now College) at Norton, Mass., 80 miles from Taunton and near Rehoboth. My daughter, Jean Sutherland, graduated from this college in 1913. It is about 80 years old now." Notes from Rehoboth Roots; Updated: Mar 19, 2002.

She had accepted an assignment to Rubens School along White Rock Creek in Jewell county, Kansas and was boarding with Sadie and Elmer Intermill when their son, Myron, came home on leave from his service with the U.S. Army during World War II.

| 626 | Had 13 Children according to History of Winona County. Census records from 1860 to 1900, however, reveal 14 entries. From The History of Winona County Minnesota, compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Editor in Chief, Assisted by William Jay Whipple, Reviewer of Manuscripts and a Large Corps of Local Contributors, Illustrated, Volume II, Chicago, H.C. Cooper Jr. and Co., 1913 (Copy in Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul), page 909: James G. Wilson was born in New York state, February 13, 1832, and died in Winona county, June 6, 1907. He came to Winona county in 1854, and settled in New Hartford township. He lived a quiet life, and devoted himself to his farm and his large family. He married Sarah Brown, who was born June 20, 1832, and died in June 1902. In the family there were thirteen children, ten boys and three girls. Eleven of the thirteen lived to adult years, and of these, ten are still living. From the Winona Republican-Herald, 13 June 1908: Dakota Another of the rapidly diminishing members of Winona county pioneers has passed away. James G. Wilson died at his home in Dakota Valley June 7 1908 at the advanced age of seventy-six years, three months and twenty-four days. The deceased was born at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and came to Minnesota in 1854 and opened the farm which he has occupied ever since. He was joined in marriage to Sarah B. Brown a sister of the late Nathan Brown, the pioneer settler in Dakota. The marriage took place in 1852. Of this union were born thirteen children, three of whom are dead. The first Mrs. Brown died quite a number of years ago and on June 6, 1907 Mr. Wilson contracted a second marriage with Emma Einfeldt of La Crosse who survives him. The funeral services were held June 9, conducted by Rev. C. F. Dykeman. Interment was made in the cemetery about a mile and a half west of the village of Dakota, which was laid out as a burial place a number of years ago and is located near the residence of the deceased. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the west. Because the house was unable to hold the assembled number of people the services were held in the open air on the cemetery grounds. The grave was decked with garlands of flowers placed there by those who loved him best. Kind friends sang hymns of comfort and Rev. Dykeman pronounced and the people returned to their homes. Seven of the children were present at the funeral. Mr. Wilson possessed a robust and vigorous intellect, but lived rather a retired life, fond of horticulture and gardening, intimately known to but few and esteemed most of his old neighbors and associates, who with him came here in territorial days and labored to make Minnesota and abode of an industrious, intelligent and happy people. In the Wilson cemetery under the huge boughs of the large oak trees which cover the place, Mr. Dykeman said in part to the large crowd of mourners and freinds, that he thought the service would be more impressive and appropriate right out in the open air, and in God's own temple he read a short sketch of Mr. Wilson's life and religious belief which was a Universalist. He then took up his theme which was to avoid or lessen future punishment; Justice and Truth doing all the good we can, and making all as happy as we can. He said Universalists were scarce and far between, and he believed that he was the only Universalist minister in southern Minnesota. Mr. Dykeman spoke as only Mr. Dykeman can. It has seldom been or privilege to listen to more truth. The choir were Wm. Winter, Mrs. Wolf, and Mrs. Workman. | Wilson, James Gardner (I22)

| 634 | Harold H. Johnson, 89, born August 27, 1922 died July 28, 2012 in Sunnyside. His grandparents came to Sunnyside from Iowa by covered wagon in 1893 when his father was a year old. They homesteaded a farm on South Emerald Road, SW of Sunnyside. Harold was born on this farm and graduated from Sunnyside High School. He then attended Washington State College (now WSU), and graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering. Due to World War II, he completed his degree a year early, finishing in the summer following his Junior year. In June 1944 he was drafted into the US Army "Corps of Engineers" and was soon on his first cruise liner "Queen Elizabeth" headed for Europe. After the war in Europe was won, they prepared for deployment to the Pacific. However, this war ended prior to deployment. He then was assigned to a group photographing the Nurnberg Trials. By the time he left the army, he had earned the rank of Sergeant. Battles & Campaigns: Rhineland. Victory Medal, American Theater Service Medal, Army of Occupation Medal (Germany), European African Middle Eastern Service Medal, and Good Conduct Medal. After the war he returned to Sunnyside and built his own house, which was completed in early 1950. Later that year he met and married the only woman he ever loved, his wife, Viola. They lived in the house a short time until he decided to follow construction building dams. He soon became Project Engineer constructing dams all over the world. Their three children were born at various towns near these projects. Dams include: Chief Joseph, Littleton (NH), Dalles, Ice Harbor, John Day, Fall Creek (OR), & Arrow (BC). He also worked on Dams in Australia, Iran, Central and South America. As the construction of dams was ending, he worked on Rapid Transit, including BART in San Francisco, CA, and Metro in Washington, DC. He received Professional Engineer Registration in Washington, Oregon, and District of Columbia (Washington, DC) Harold retired in 1984 and returned to live in the house he built in Sunnyside. He always planted a vegetable garden. Due to the size of his garden, a friend once stated, "The government should pay you not to produce!" Viola had been diagnosed with cancer a couple of years prior to his retirement, so his goal was to conquer the disease. She eventually died in February 1988, so he directed all his energy to helping his children and grandchildren. He was a strong advocate of education, something no one could take away. Viola's dying wishes to her son was for him to take care of her husband. She was more concerned about him than herself. With his son Keith, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and designing and building home improvement projects, including an addition to his original house. Harold continued to grow his massive garden, using only a #2 shovel and a hoe. He couldn't understand why people would walk around the block for exercise when all they had to do was go work in their yards. He is survived by: Two daughters, Betty & Tom Spradlin of Selah, WA; Irena Johnson of Wenatchee, WA Son - Keith Johnson of Sunnyside, WA; seven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife, Viola; his parents Leighton & Gladys Johnson; his sister, Jean & husband Earl Huetson; his sister, Virginia & husband Bill Verhulp; his sister Barbara & husband Walt Johnson; Granddaughter Angela Bisbee; and Little Girl.
