About 35 members of Saxon Homestead of B.A. Y's of Chariton gathered in our hall in response to an invitation from the Oriental Homestead of Derby and helped to make merry the hours between seven and twelve on Tuesday night. A good substantial supper appeased the hungry appetites given them after their twelve mile drive and good, roaring, fires soon warmed their chilled bodies. After the business of the evening was over a good social time was enjoyed by all. Grand foreman Coch of Des Moines was with us and the splendid, interesting talk he gave was greatly appreciated. Several quaint speeches were made by other visiting members, and the old games, blackman and drop the handkerchief were enjoyed to the fullest extent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 7, 2004 [email protected]

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, October 12, 1905 MR. and MRS. DAVID WILLIAMS celebrated their golden wedding at Cleveland Sunday, with a large company of their friends and it proved a most happy occasion. A grand feast was one of the features and good cheer, speechmaking and mutual congratulations inspired the day. This worthy couple were married in their native Wales fifty years ago, emigrating to America in 1869 with their family of seven children. They now have a family of seventy-five children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They represent that courageous class who sought homes from beyond the sea and form the best in our citizenship. Think of the resolution it takes to bid adieu to friends, country and kindred and voyage the ocean to a strange land where is spoken an unknown tongue with customs differing from the usual forms. The Leader joins in the well wishes for the future health and happiness of this fine old couple. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 7, 2004 [email protected]

BIRD HARRISON MCCORMICK of this city were united in marriage on Tuesday morning, October 10, 1905, at 9:30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. J.M. HARRISON. The wedding was a quiet home affair, only the relatives and a few intimate friends being present, and came in the nature of a surprise to the many friends of the happy couple.

Hi All: Well, my computer has decided to 'get wierd', so I'm using my old one. Good grief, a 15" monitor that I can barely read (those large flat screens will 'spoil ya'..) So, if you find typos, you'll know that it's because I'm working under 'DURESS' -- yes I'm screaming; going into the streets in a little while!! My 'Maxine' mouse pad keeps me laughing -- which says, "My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice." Surely this WILL NOT BE ARCHIVED ANYWHERE.. Best Regards, 'Nebulous' Nancee

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, October 12, 1905 From the Shenandoah Sentinel-Post we take the following wedding notice which will be of interest to Chariton friends as the groom, who is a son of MRS. MARGARET POWELL, formerly resided here: "Rev. J.M. Ross married MISS EFFIE ALLEN and MR. WILLIAM POWELL at 4 o'clock Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, a widow on Matthews Street. It was a quiet but happy ceremony, only a few intimate friends being present. There was no display, they stood alone at the altar, the pretty bride dressed in blue silk, and the handsome groom as proud as an emperor. At five o'clock, a three-course luncheon was served, and at night they were honored by two charivaries, first by the boys and then by the girls, then the wedded pair went to their own home, 104 Clarinda Avenue, which had been fully furnished and was waiting for them to set up housekeeping. The bride is one of our prettiest young girls and is as good as she is beautiful. For the past two years she has been bookkeeper and collector for the Bell Telephone Company, and much appreciated and esteemed by her employers and office associates. Her mother parts with her only daughter with rejoicing, because she knows EFFIE has won a good husband. MR. POWELL has a place in the Shurtz Restaurant. His parents live in Chariton. We wish the couple a pleasant and prosperous life together." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 7, 2004 [email protected]

Hi, Another message from JR Deborah D B-S: Danke. Thanks for posting. I havn't found a connection between the PA Gradwohl's I'm pursuing and the NE & IO Gradwohl's. Ditto the Gradwohl's of Washington. The PA's appear to be Am.Rev. era immigrants, the NE & IO in the generations after the Civil War and bfr. WWI, and the WA group still later (Germany to Volga to US). "Probably" they all originate in the Palatine region. JRM

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, October 12, 1905 Thursday, Oct. 5th, was the fifty-seventh wedding anniversary of MR. and MRS. G.W. MITCHELL of Warren Township. The event was joyfully celebrated during the evening of that date by their immediate relatives, neighbors and friends to the number of half a hundred. Promptly at eight o'clock the Squire's house was surrounded by a happy mob who gave him and his wife an old fashioned newly married couple charivari. It was worse than the siege of Port Arthur and the Squire soon surrendered. The doors of his pleasant home were thrown open and the Japs took possession. Among the first demands of the crowd were that the Squire show his papers for having been so long in the married state, said papers not being instantly forthcoming, he and his estimable wife were forthwith seized, hustled before the court and married, MR. S.T. TANNER performing the ceremony in a very happy and acceptable manner. Refreshments were then served and the evening passed with good cheer and happy banter! . Before leaving, the Squire was "caned" and his good helpmate presented with mementoes of the occasion. Fifty-seven years of happy, successful married life is so rarely the case that the writer cannot refrain from extending this notice even though he tax the editor's space and patience. G.W. MITCHELL and MARY A. DOUGLASS were married October 5, 1848. MR. MITCHELL entered the land where they now live in 1852. They moved on the farm October 5, 1855, consequently they have been married fifty-seven years, and have lived on the same farm fifty-two years. Although nearly four score years of age the Squire (as we all call him) still maintains an active interest in whatever pertains to the good of the community in which he dwells. He talks and works intelligently in politics, school affairs and farming. His fruit is famous far and wide and for more than forty years he has been interested in school work and at present is treasurer of the school district wherein he resides. His is the no plus ultra of democracy. He entertains admirably in ye olden time way. The writer has enjoy! ed his hospitality since he was a boy. He remembers when the Squire and his wife were middle aged folks strong and vigorous, and so on up through the years to the present time. With probably two or three exceptions most of his pioneer neighbors have passed away. The Squire has practically survived them all and at the age of eighty years is hale and hearty and enjoying life. Fifty-seven years is a long time. Into the Squire's life in that time have come children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Long may he and his worthy wife live -- at least fifty-seven years more -- is our wish. -- JOHN V. BONNETT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 6, 2004 [email protected]

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, September 28, 1905 The eight-pound boy of MR. and MRS. J.L. DRAKE, of near Lacona is arousing much interest in the community, owing to the fact that the child is eight months of age and only weighs eight pounds, one pound less than it weighed at the time of its birth. This fact would not seem so strange, however, were it not that the little one is apparently in perfect health, plump and as bright as any ordinary baby of that age. The baby stands alone, too, which seems remarkable. The only thing that seems wrong is the fact the child does not grow. The case is puzzling many, and the DRAKE baby is rapidly gaining a name for itself. -- KNOXVILLE JOURNAL EXPRESS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 6, 2004 [email protected]

Does anyone know anything about or know a descendant of Margaret Hawkins who died between the 1900 and the 1910 census probably in Chariton, Lucas Co., Iowa. In 1880 and 1900 she is living with her daughter Ella (Columbus C.) Bellor. They never had any children, but perhaps an obit for Margaret will help me verify her parentage. Thanks. Jerilyn
