| 551 | (Research):There is a Capt. Roger and Fanny Holcomb buried in the Grassy Hill Cemetery which could possibly be the parents of Harriet. | Holcomb, Harriet (I6946)
|
| 552 | (Research):There is a Chauncey and Urania Morris buried in the Grassy Hill Cemetery which could be the parents of Russell Morris. | Morris, Russell (I6944)
|
| 553 | (Research):There is a discrepancy between the marriage date cited by Nora White and the dates of Samuel and Nancy's children's birth. Perhaps Nora was mistaken about the marriage date, or 1795 could have been the date the marriage was recorded and the marriage actually took place a few years earlier. | McConnell, Samuel (I7178)
|
| 554 | (Research):There is a John (30) and Barbara Rozak (26) who arrived on the S.S. Circassia on 24 Sep 1883 from Austria. While their birth and arrival dates are close to what John states on the 1920 census, they are travelling with a Jack (?), age 5, and Maria, age 8 months, which do not align with the known children. Under the leadership of Palacky a Slavic congress assembled at Prague in the Revolution of 1848, but by 1849, although the Czech peasentry had been emancipated, absolute Austrian domination had been forcibly restored. Due to this, the birth and marriage locations of John and Barbara Razak are placed in the Bohemian province of Austria, as opposed to the Czech Republic. It was not until 1918 that full independence was reached and Bohemia became part of the new state of Czechoslovakia. | Razak, John (I85)
|
| 555 | (Research):There is a John Skillin listed in the 1870 Census in Forestport, Oneida Co., New York which could possibly be this individual. His date of birth is 1811, he is married to Mary and has two children living with him; Rebecca, 21, and William, 19. These are both commonly used family names and is further evidence that this may be our John Skillin. However, the children are stated to have been born in Ireland, which would conflict with the notion that John's father William came with the family from Ireland between 1819 and 1830. If this were the case, one would expect that John's children would have been born in New York. | Skillin, John (I6961)
|
| 556 | (Research):There is a William Skillen shown on a passenger list of the ship Josephine, which arrived in New York City on 15 Apr 1830. The age (18) and occupation (tailor) seem to fit for this individual, but there is no definitive proof that these two are the same person. | Skillin, William (I6960)
|
| 557 | (Research):There is an obituary published in the New York Spectator, dated 18 Nov 1843, for a William Skillin. It reads Died. On Wednesday morning, 15th inst. WILLIAM SKILLIN, aged 81 years. While this is not a perfect fit with the existing dates, it is close. In the 1840 New York City Directory, a Samuel Skillin is found occupying 13 Doyers and working as a tailor. It is unknown how this Samuel Skillin is related to the family. | Skillin, William (I6263)
|
| 558 | (Research):There was another Andrew Rumsey the same age in the 1850 census of Pike Co, Ohio, with his mother Leah born in Pennsylvania, to whom this family could also belong. But the Illinois birthplace of John T. makes the above identification more likely. | Rumsey, Andrew (I10088)
|
| 559 | (Research):This individual seems to be particularly difficult to pin down. I have three seperate sources giving entirely different accounts of his years of birth and death, wives and children. Much more investigation needs to be done here to sort him out. | Ballow, Thomas (I7108)
|
| 560 | (Research):While the book "The Frankfort Story" states that William Skillin was the son of William Skillin and Agnes Vaugh, other pieces of information point to James and Martha Skillin as his parents. Most notably are the census records which show that William had a brother Charles (whom we know travelled with him to Kansas in 1874) and show the appropriate birth years for both. There is also no record of a Agnes Vaugh(n) or Agnes Skillin in any census records. Sandy Martinez stated that the lineage of William Skillin was William Skillin m. Agnes Vaughn Hance Skillin m. Elizabeth ? William Skillin m. Agnes McWaugh Thomas Skillin m. Deborah ? Again, I can find no census records that support this lineage. There is a Hance Skillin who married an Eliza, but is too young to have been the grandfather of William. Instead, I suspect that through time, family records have become confused and the actual lineage is i) William's parents are James and Martha Skillin ii) Hance Skillin is somehow related to James Skillin (possibly his brother) iii) James' (and possibly Hance's) parents may have been William and Agnes Vaugh(n) or McWaugh (though no proof of this has been found) | Skillin, William (I3378)
|
| 561 | (Research):William H.4 has been listed in the family for reasons shown. But Harry Hawkins Smith did not include him in his list of the children. It is very doubtful that he was living at the time Peter4 died in 1843, for he is not listed among all the brothers and sisters as heirs. William's death may have been confused with that of his nephew, William H., who died 1850 in Elmira, and is listed in Peter's estate as son of his brother Phineas dec'd. | Rumsey, William H. (I5133)

| 563 | BROWN Lewis Brown, son of Carl and Margaret Brown, was born January 21, 1856 in Washington County, Ohio; and died in the hospital at Quinter, Kansas, on March 9, 1943 at the age of 87 years, one month and 16 days. He was confirmed in the Lutheran church at the place of his birth on April 15, 1870. As a young man he came to Kansas marking his home in and around Russell and meeting all the rigors of early pioneer life there. On September 20, 1883 he was united in marriage to Margaret E. McConnell to which union four children were born. His wife died in 1896 when their youngest child was but a few months old and he became father and mother to his children raising them to manhood and womanhood. In 1911 the family moved to the Collyer Community where he has since resided. He married Mary A. Pattimore December 22, 1920, but when they had been married only nine years, she too was taken in death. The remaining years of his life were spent with his children.

| 567 | M. D. Cass Dies Suddenly M. D. Cass, an old and respected citizen of this community, passed away very suddenly while sitting in a rocking chair in his home, a mile north of Onaga, last Monday morning, death resulting from heart failure. Miles Dighton Cass, son of Aaron Jefferson Cass and Sarah Jane Wheeler, was born near Paw Paw, Illinois, July 5, 1866. He passed away at his home near Onaga, March 23, 1931, at the age of 64 years, 8 months and 18 days. He was one of a family of seven children, three of whom, Aaron, Sarah and Edward, preceded him in death. At the age of 3 years he moved with his parents to Sioux City, Nebraska, but after a brief space they moved on to Marysville, Kansas. The remainder of his life, with exception of two years in Missouri, have been spent near Onaga. Mr. Cass was married to Ida Theresa Hartwick on July 15, 1886. This union was blessed with three children, one of whom, William Henry, has gone on before. The other two, Mrs. Sarah Bonjour and Emile, both of Onaga, survived him, as also his wife and companion of many years. One brother, John Cass, of Frankfort, two sisters, Mrs. Martha Scovill, of Frankfort, and Miss Ida Cass, of Larned, seven living grandchildren and a host of more distant relatives and friends, also mourn his going. Always a healthy man, he scarcely knew a sick day until the death of his son eleven years ago, which was a great shock to him. He had not been as strong since. Death came suddenly as a result of heart failure. Mr. Cass was even-tempered and of jovial nature. He was a member of the Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges for many years, and was a firm believer in fraternity ideals, In his heart he held to, and in his life he practiced Christian ideals. He was also a member of the Lone Mound Grange. A kind, helpful, loving father and companion, he was also ready to help anyone in sickness or need. While not pushing himself forward, he yet found a host of ways in which "to be a friend to man." His ideal was always to give rather than to receive. All who knew him have only kind words in memory of him. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church in Onaga, Wednesday, March 25, at two o'clock, in charge of Rev. W. M. Horton. Burial services at the Onaga cemetery were in charge of the Odd Fellow Lodge. Those from out of town, who attended the services, were: Mr. and Mrs. John Cass, Mrs. Geo. Scovill, Mrs. J. Pittman and two daughters and Mrs. Geo. Porter, all of Frankfort; Glennis Scovill and Mrs. and Wm. Skillin, of Marysville; Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Brown, of Atchison; Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Schlegel, of Irving; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hartwick and son Merle, of Wamego; Walter Hartwick, of Salina; and Ike Skillin, of Frankfort. | Cass, Miles Dighton (I6282)

| 568 | Mrs. Wm, Skillin Dead, Just as the sun was setting Thursday evening, Mrs. William Skillin, who had been ill for so long, passed quietly away at the family home west of town. She had been in poor health for several years and at times her sufferings were intense but she was always cheerful and patient, and in spite of everything that skill and loving hands could do she steadily grew worse until the end came last evening. During her last illness she was given every care and attention by her husband, daughters and sons, relatives and friends, all of whom will greatly miss her tender love and devotion. The funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the First Methodist church in charge of her pastor, Rev. E. H. Knepp. | Phillips, Celia C. (I3379)

| 573 | RAILROAD ACCIDENT WITH FATAL RESULTS Mrs. Eliza Skilien Dies from Injuries Sustained The first accident at the crossing of the W. N. Y. and Pa. railroad on Erie St., in this village, occurred Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, from which one person died from injuries received and two were badly bruised and cut, but no bones were broken. Wm. Williams runs a transfer carriage to all trains tor passengers and baggage, and Wednesday evening at the Erie Station, Mrs. Eliza Skillin and daughter, Miss Jennie, took this carriage to ride home. The crossing of the W. N. Y. and Pa, railway is but a few rods west of the Erie station, and the view on both sides of approaching trains is almost shut out by the warehouses on either side of the highway. As Williams approached the crossing Mr. A. Ayrault who saw the freight train coming, called to Williams to stop but he did not hear him, and in a moment more was struck by the engine, the occupants of the carriage were thrown several feet and with force on the frozen ground; the carriage was smashed, while the horse was uninjured and jumped across the track on the west side. Several persons near by ran to their assistance, white another started for a physician, and summoned Dr. White. The ladies, were both conscious when picked up and removed to their home in this village, where on examination no bones were found broken. Mrs. Skillin had an ugly scalp wound in the head and was badly bruised, Miss Skillin had her shoulder, hip and arm bruised and her back hurt but can not tell at this writing the extent of her injuries. Mr. Williams is bruised and cut about his head but sustained no serious injuries. Several of our citizens say the train whistled before reaching the crossing and when the engineer saw the wagon blew the danger signal; if so, no blame rests on the engineer. Mrs. Eliza Skillin's injuries and the shock to her system, proved too much for a woman of her advanced age, being nearly 80 years old, and after reaching home grew worse and expired about 9 o'clock that evening. Deceased was born at "Calinshia," the residence of her mother, near Belfast,Ireland, March 13, 1818. She came to New York city with her parents in 1822, and was married to Mr. Hance Skillin in 1838 in that city, where they resided until 1846, when she came with her husband to this village and has ever since lived here, Mr. Skillin was one of the pioneer and successful merchants of the place, and was in business up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1864. Mrs. Skillin was a remarkably active woman, physically and mentally, for one of her years. The morning that she went to Rochester she arose before 5 o'clock, ate her breakfast and walked from her home to the Erie: station, a mile distant, Mrs. Skillin was a great reader,had a retentive memory, her mind was unimpaired and as clear and active as in the prime of life. In all matters of business or pleasure, the children counseled with their mother and were sure to receive wise advice and practical suggestions. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church and regular attendant of the same for half a century. Mrs. Geo, Tuthill of Cawker City, Kansas; Jas. L. Skillin of New York city and Robert Skillin of Lebanon, Kansas; Mrs. M. J. Noonan and Misses Eliza, Jennie and Martha Skillin of this village, and sister, Mrs. Ann Townsend of New York, survive her, and will have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. The funeral services will be held, at the Presbyterian church. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Parsons officiating. | Lowery, Eliza E. (I6116)

| 597 | Absalom attended the public schools at Hopkins, MO, until seventeen years of age, when in company with his father and brother, George W., he went to the Blacks Hills in South Dakota. This was in the spring of 1883, the trip being made overland, driving "a bunch" of cattle. He finally located on a ranch of over six hundred acres, eighteen miles east of Rapid City and near Farmingdale, Pennington Co., SD. The following fall the father and brother returned to Missouri, leving "Ab," as he was called, to keep bachelor's ball, which he did for the next six years. He and his family still made their home on the ranch in 1924, and had always been engaged in some form of stock raising; in 1908 it being sheep. | Otis, Absalom (I2240)

| 600 | According to HFS, Jonathan Dayton, baptized 3 Aug 1701, son of Samuel and his first (unkown) wife, married Rachel Ramsey 12 Feb 1719 and had issue. He shows no other marriages for Jonathan. In the Salmon Record the year is double-dated as 1719/20, and Dayton's name printed as [Jo]nathn Daiton. VES or his source apparently interpreted this as Nathaniel, and reported that Rachel married Nathaniel Dayton. (A younger brother Nathan married Amy Stratton in 1725 (HFS).) Jacobus (in JDD) thought it unlikely, though possible, that this Jonathan married Rachel Ramsey daughter of Simon Ramsey of Southold, as he was only 18 years of age at the time. He assigns to Jonathan, son of Samuel Dayton, the three marriages above, which came after the marriage of Jonathan Dayton to Rachel Ramsey. He also listed four sons of Jonathan and Patience ( ) Dayton as: Elias b May 1737, Daniel b ca 1740, Robert b 1742, Jonathan b ca 1743-4, all of whom survived their father. But New Jersey Archives (Vol 34:134) has an estate of Jonathan Dayton of Essex Co who died intestate. It was probated 1 Nov 1778, and administered by Keturah Dayton, Elias Dayton and Jonathan J. Dayton (from Lib 16:522). But the name Keturah was not mentioned by Jacobus as either a wife or a daughter. The two fine genealogists, Jacobus and Seversmith, were not able to solve the problem of Jonathan Dayton. Perhaps new sources will emerge which may hold the answer. | Dayton, Jonathan (I5230)
