My husband's great grandfather died in 1869 in Morning Sun, Iowa. We live in Kansas, a long way from there. I need to find a willing genealogist who could go to the county courthouse to get a copy of the probate of his will. It is listed in the index on the Louisa County genealogy website. We have been searching for a long time for information about this gentleman. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Skipto DATE: 3/5/2009 at 20:40:50 Surnames: HAMMOND,PADGETT,PETERS,WINDER,HUFF,DANIELS Wapello Republican, Thursday, February 12, 1931. Joseph R. Hammond passed away Monday evening at his home in this city, after a lingering illness. Joseph R. Hammond, son of Dennis B. and Hannah (Padgett) Hammond, was born in Washington County, Iowa, August 5, 1863, and passed away at his home in Wapello, Iowa, February 9, 1931, aged 67 years, 6 months and 4 days. His parents moved to a farm southeast of Columbus Junction when he was one year of age and he has since lived in Louisa County, except two years in Nebraska (1908 to 1909). On July 31, 1887, he was united in marriage with Ida A. Peters and to this union four sons and two daughters were born. He is survived by his life companion and the following children: Howard, of Hominy, Oklahoma; Nellie Winder, of Wapello; Leon, of El Paso, Texas; Raymond, of Westminster, Calif., and Gladys, of Wapello. He was preceded in death by one son, Joe Paul, who died about five years ago.

He was converted to Christ in early life and felt the call to the gospel ministry. He preached his first sermon when seventeen years of age and was more or less active in the work for fifty years. While living in Nebraska he found two pastorless churches. Mr. Hammond was an affectionate husband and father, was very industrious, and a good provider of the good things of this life for those who were dependent on him, and his benefactions extended outside the circles of his own home as others will bear testimony. He was also active in civic affairs,k being a member of the Iowa State Militia for a period of five years. He was also one of the organizers of the Farmers Union of Iowa and was its state lecturer for several years. Thus comes to a close an active life, and Mr. Hammond will be truly missed from the home and by a wide circle of neighbors and friends. Funeral services were held from the M.E. church in Wapello Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, preceded by a short service at the home. The service was conducted by Rev. Jesse Huddle, assisted by Rev. R.J. Arms. Burial was made in the Wapello Cemetery and the remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. "Watching and Waiting" was sung by Mrs. Ernest Winter and Mrs. Fred Schwob, with Mrs. Warren Wiederrecht at the piano. "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Rock of Ages" was sung by a quartet, composed of Fred Wehmeyer, Warren Wiederrecht, Mrs. R.J. Arms and Josephine Barnes.

Joseph Carlisle, a long time resident and highly respected citizen of Illinois City, died without warning or illness on May 20, 1919. Thus came to an end a life which had known its share of sunshine and shadows; a life that was nobly and unselfishly given to the happiness of others. Born in East Liverpool, Columbiana county, Ohio, March 6th, 1841, he went with his father's family to Maysville, Ky., from which place they removed to Covington, Ky, where bereavement came to their home and took away his father. When deceased was seven years of age, his mother and her five children made their way back to New Lisbon, Ohio. A short time after the mother found a home for little Joe with a farmer by the name of Andrew Brinker, with whom he lived until he was eighteen. In 1860 he attended an academy at Damascovill, Ohio. In 1861 he was a student at the Western Reserve Electric Institute of Hiram, Portage county, Ohio, of which school James A Garfield was president. On March 15, 1862, he enlisted in the 12th U.S. Infantry at Springfield, Ill., and took an honorable part in all of the engagements in which this regiment participated, including The Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House. He was taken prisoner near Spotsylvania Court House on May 10, 1864, reached Andersonville prison May 25 on the 12th of September was removed to Florence, S.C., from which place he made his escape Sept. 15, was recaptured October 1, and made a second escape by cutting a hole through a box car, reaching the Union lines on Dec. 12, at Belle Plain, East Tenn. Traveling from Belle Plain to Washington, D.C., he was stationed at Elmyra, N.Y., doing guard duty over seven thousand Rebel prisoners. He reported to his regimental commander again on January 1, 1865. Received an honorable discharge March 15, 1865, term of enlistment having expired. Was a student of telegraphy at Oberlin, Ohio, in 1865. Coming west, deceased was married to Miss Fannie J. Twigg of Louisa County, Iowa, in 1868. To this union three children were born. Dr. Carlisle of Diagonal, Iowa, and Mrs. Gail Gurtner of Denver, Colorado, one child having died in infancy. He was married again in 1904 to Mrs. Fannie Martin who, with his two children remain to mourn the loss of a kind husband and loving father. The entire community where he has lived for many years think of him as a personal friend and his relatives and near neighbors, those who knew him best, will long remember the pure life that was lived among them, and we of a younger generation with deep gratitude in our hearts, stand with bared heads and tear-dimmed eyes as one by one the Old Guard marches by into that Great Beyond. Let us resolve to keep alive in memory their deeds of valor for feedom's cause by placing the choicest flowers on their graves. Funeral services were held at Illinois City, and the remains were brought to Wapello Monday and buried in the cemetery there. Wapello Republican, Thursday, May 29, 1919
