Hi All: We drove to Lexington, Kentucky yesterday (about 3 l/2 hours) from Martinsville, Indiana. The trees are beautiful and Kentucky is beautiful country. I was hoping to find information about my ggg grandfather, Martin Sheehan and his family. Went to the Lexington Public Library; The Kentucky Room is the genealogy section and the people working there were very, very nice and helpful.. We did find info. about Martin Sheehan and it was interesting to note that 5 of his 8 children never married. Some lived to be in their 80s. There are a couple I'm not able to find -- Rev. Martin Sheehan, jr. of New York City. He was mentioned in a short obituary for his older brother, Thomas.. Also, in the Calvary Cemetery records, Martin Sheehan's parents were shown as Martin Sheehan and Josie Mahoney, both of Ireland. We were able to find their headstone, which showed Martin, his wife Ellen (maiden name unknown) and 4 of their grown - unmarried children all buried there. Some of the dates of birth and death on the large, beautiful stone, were different than were listed in the Calvary Cemetery Book. Could not get the whole stone in one picture. So, now I'm trying to organize the whole chart...I'm almost positive these are my Sheehans and intend to contact St. Paul Catholic Church in Lexington to find what they might have in the way of information on this family. They were definitely Irish Catholics. They used and re-used the same names, which makes it even more difficult. The children's names were: Josephine, Thomas, Mary, Nellie, Dennis, (another) Mary, John Joseph and Rev. Martin jr. Martin Sheehan, my ggg grandfather (according to the 1900 Fayette County, Kentucky Census) came to the U.S. in 1848 -- had been in the U.S. for 52 years. He was at that time 27 years old. This was during the Irish Famine years -- however, I haven't been able to find him in passenger lists. (Maybe he was a stowaway. ha.) I'm wondering if he was indentured to someone for 7 years.. Just speculation at this point, however, his first daughter, Nellie was born in 1856, so he was probably married in 1854 or 1855 --- so, 1848 plus 7 years would be 1855, and he would have been 34 years old. Did the Irish marry later in life? At that time, 34 was 'older' wasn't it?? He was in Ionia, Michigan at one time; Fayette County, Kentucky; then to Decatur County, Iowa; then back to Fayette County, Kentucky where he died in 1909 at the age of 88. Does anyone have any ideas why so many of his children continued to live at home and not marry?? Was that an Irish thing? Well, onward with best regards, Nancee

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, May 17, 1906 MAE MULLEN was again discovered to be engaged in the "nefarious" traffic after the order from court to desist. County Attorney Wells went to Albia and laid the matter before the Judge. Monday, this action being taken after her plea of guilt in Justice Storie's court. The Judge held her in contempt but mittimus will not issue how she now in good faith ceases to dispense the contrabband (sic), which once more she promises to do. It is a knotty problem to deal with. She has five children and no means of support, and has engaged in this business for a livelihood, until it is said she is not what might be designated as an ornament in society -- drinking to excess herself and swearing like a pirate. It is to be hoped these remarks will not be construed as ungallent. Now if the socialogical expert will get his brain together and evolve some industrial system in Chariton whereby the ban may be raised and remunerative employment found fitted to those in MAE's condition he woul! d do society a real favor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 14, 2004 [email protected]

Son of Thomas Bentley Throckmorton, Tom D. Throckmorton, M.D. Northwest Iowa Surgeons General Surgery Spencer, Iowa The Giant Killers Tom D. Throckmorton, M.D. When memory keeps me company, I sometimes see, through childhood's eyes, Old Beecher's iron-shod hooves striking sparks from the cold, hard paving bricks of Main Street. Henry Ward Beecher was grandfather's faithful carriage horse. As the short winter day deepened into night, grandfather locked his roll-top desk, banked the fire in the reception room stove and shrugged himself into a voluminous horsehide overcoat. He then topped him-self off with a sealskin cap and turned the big key in the front door of the office. The sign said "Dr. Tom Morford Throckmorton." Scooping me up under one arm, he mounted into the lurching buggy and tucked me close beside him under a large buffalo robe. This robe smelled not only of its original occupant, but also of horse and dust, and that marvelously complex smell or medicine. Old Beecher knew the way home and took the last corner at a brisk trot. His hoof beat rang out into the frosty air, and the sight of those rhythmically swaying haunches together with the scattering showers of sparks held me spellbound. Grandfather was a regulation, iron-clad, copper-riveted, old-fashioned country doctor. He practiced in a county seat town and knew every soul and most of the animals within a radius of fifteen miles. And that radius just about encompassed his lifetime. His lifetime spanned the expansion of surgery from amputations to the invasion of the abdominal cavity and the skull. He saw the germ-theory developed and proved. He owned one of the first microscopes in the state: a wonderously glittering brass-barrelled instrument prominently displayed beneath a glass bell-jar and seldom moved for actual use. He compounded his own medicines, and proved both the safety and palatability of each bottle by shaking it briskly and then licking the cork. He was stern but beloved by the community. I have watched him hitch up a rig by lantern light and drive from the shelter and wavering shadows of the barn into the face of a dark, cold March rain - without a grumble. He brought an almost palpable sense of equanimity with him into an anxious household, but little else. His tools were pitifully inadequate to the task. I have the old gentleman's saddle bags, for he rode horseback when the bottomless gumbo clay would not tolerate a buggy during the spring thaw. They contain a variety of powders, pills and potions, but only three curative drugs: quinine, digitalis and mercury. Nonetheless, he brought almost a thousand babies into the world; he cut and sutured when needed; he allayed symptoms and fears alike. He treated patients, and God hea led them. Grandfather was a towering giant in his community. At least half-a-hundred little boys wanted to grow up and be like "old Doe" a term of love and respect, never used to his face. In 1875 grandfather swung off the Rock Island and onto the station platform. Just graduated from medical school in Philadelphia, he came equipped with a sheepskin diploma, a set of amputating knives in a teakwood case, and a full, deep chestnut beard which he hoped would disguise his youth and testify to his wisdom. When he died in 1941, the Methodist church was filled and his pallbearers were all old patients. Later, when his will was probated and apportioned by law, my share came to less than twenty dollars. His accounts, kept in a flowing Spencerian hand, reflected thousands of dollars in unpaid receivables; yet, mankind was his business and his charities were numerous. Grandfather must have valued his charities, because he always kept them well hidden. I come from a family that has always believed in giants. Many is the time I have heard father and grandfather discussing their old professors: the elder Gross and the younger Gross, W. W. Keen and DeCosta. Their admiration for their own giants was obvious. But I had my giants to think about; for there were giants in those days - men like grandfather and father. Father was a towering figure. He used words like honor, fortitude, charity, integrity, responsibility, dedication and love: these and many other such terms, now rusty with disuse, seemed to carry very specific meanings for him. Father was a tremendously capable physician: general practitioner, scientist, neurologist, professor, and finally one of the original diplomates of the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. Father didn't have the horse and buggy problem, but on many a fine brisk sub-zero morning I have watched him pour a tea kettle of hot water over the manifold and carburetor of his Model T Ford car before old Tin Lizzie would shake herself into life. And father had some real tools with which to work: clinical laboratory tests were burgeoning, electro-cardiography was a new fad, x-rays were increasingly reliable, and truly potent drugs such as arsphenamine and salvarsan became available. He was chief-of-staff at his hospital, was the secretary of the Iowa State Medical Society for many years, and declined an opportunity to be vice-president of the A.M.A. He was an establishment man - and he was his own man. I worked in the same office with him for eighteen years. We never had a harsh word; we truly admired each other. When father died, his funeral cortege was enormous. The newspaper ran a lengthy editorial captioned "The Beloved Physician." His passing was swift. He had been a frugal man, had educated four sons, and his top income for any year had been less than $20,000. Giants like those two great men, father and grandfather, are now seldom seen. Somehow when the old giants left the stage and disappeared into the wings of obscurity, their places were taken by men of lesser caliber: men frustrated by their roles, men so enmeshed in details that the thread of the plot seemed lost, and men who seemed to take a lesser pleasure in their work. Here and there a delightful anachronism does still exist, but by and large the old medical giants have vanished from the scene. Let us see if the causes of their disappearance can be found. sincerly David

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, May 24, 1906 MRS. J.H. COOK died at her home in Russell, on Sunday, May 20, 1906, at 7:00 p.m., at the age of 57 years, 6 months and 23 days. MARY J. LEACH was born Oct. 27, 1848 in Shelby County, Indiana, and was united in marriage to J.H. COOK, Sept. 17, 1867. To this union were born three children, ARTA A., who died Dec. 30, 1890; ETHEL B. MITCHEM, who perished in the railroad wreck near Albia, Dec. 13, 1903; and MERTIE M. NELSON, now of Pasadena, California. MR. and MRS. COOK came to Russell from Henry County, Iowa, in 1869, locating on a farm a short distance from town, and later they moved to Russell where they have since resided. She united with the M.E. Church in 1866 and during the intervening years lived a consistent Christian life, ever active in the cause of right, full of sympathy for the distressed and benevolent in her nature. The funeral was held at the M.E. Church in Russell on Tuesday and a large concourse of friends paid their tributes of respect by their presence, her Pastor, Rev. A.H. Rusk, conducting the services. As a mark of esteem all traffic in the town was suspended and closed their doors during the funeral and the floral tributes were many and beautiful. She was a long sufferer but endured the ordeal patiently until death came to her relief and the entire community join with her husband and relatives in their grief. The relatives from a distance were: Mrs. Leach and son Elmer, Mrs. Hall, E.M. Payne of Mt. Pleasant; Calvin Cook of Des Moines; Wm. Mitchem, D. and Mrs. C.B. Powell, Albia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 12, 2004 [email protected]

It sounds like it has lots of great information, and I'm looking at possibly purchasing it. Let me know what you think -- or if you have it. Thanks, Nancee

Hi All: I thought this article in our local newspaper was interesting enough to share with everyone.. Enjoy. Nancee -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hoosier Times, Sunday, October 10, 2004 "Murphy's Laws Hold True for Family Research" FAMILY TREE LEAVES By Mona Robinson -------------------------------------------------- The following 12 Murphy's Laws of genealogical research came from an old Greene family newsletter, via genealogist Don Matson. They're so true that they may not seem all that funny. 1. The family you are looking for will be on the last page of the unindexed (of course) census film you check. but if you begin at the end of the roll, they will be on page 1. 2. The microfilm that you have diligently searched page-by-page will have an index at the end. 3. All of your spouce's ancestors will be mentioned in county histories. None of yours will be. 4. If you need just one record, the microfilm will have page numbers. If you need three or more records, there won't be any page numbers and the record will not be in proper order. 5. The book you need most will be out being rebound. 6. You will need item 23 on a microfilm roll that has 22 items. The rest of the film is continued on another roll that is "missing and presumed lost." 7. Just before the entry you need, the records will end. They will begin again two years after the date you need. 8. If one brother is left out of the genealogy of the family, guess whose ancestor he will be? 9. If there is a family history on one branch of the family tree, it won't be yours. 10. When you finally find the microfilmed probate records, the book will be so tightly bound that you can only make out the first two letters of the name of the person who may be your ancestor. 11. The researcher you hire to read original records will inform you that only that particular probate packet is missing. 12. During the last hour of your trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, you will find everything you've hunted for all week, but you won't have time to copy it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
