Good morning, Ken Calkins has contacted me, if anyone is connected you can contact him at [email protected] Thanks, Deborah Hi, Deborah (Nancee?); Interesting article showing life in a small Iowa town. The Mrs. Henry Calkins mentioned was born Harriet Ellen Sanders in KY, but we do not have her parents. Henry was a descendant of Isaac Calkins. We do not have his connection to Hugh and Ann, the immigrants, but do have several generations if anyone is interested. Regards, Ken Calkins The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 21, 1906 BELINDA NEWS: Our little corner of this mundane sphere was the recipient of a much needed rain the first of the week.

HENRY CALKINS, a former resident, arrived at Knoxville Thursday from Yellow Grass, Canada, and were interred the following day in Zion Cemetery. MR. CALKINS moved to Canada last March and the loss of the wife and mother as they began life in a new country, as a severe affliction. MR. CALKINS and son CLINTON, accompanied the remains and saw them tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful city of the dead near the deceased's old home. former neighbors did all in their power to show their respect to her who had been a respected neighbor and to alleviate the grief of the bereft.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, September 7, 1905 'IN THE EARLY DAYS' - - - - - - - - Some Reminiscenses of the Past By a Pioneer of Monroe --------------------------- The following is a synopsis of the paper by the HON. JOHN CLARK, of Albia, which he read here before the Old Settlers' meeting last Thursday. MR. CLARK will soon be eighty years of age. The article is clipped from the Albia News: In writing up a short history of Lucas County I will go back to the purchase of the land of the Sac and Fox Indians in 1812. They were removed from Agency City to Fort Des Moines and all the country between the west line of Jefferson County to the west line of Lucas County north and south was opened for settlement, at which time Wapello and Kishkekosh (now Monroe) and Lucas County were attached to Jefferson for revenue, judicial and election purposes. In 1845 they removed the Indians to their reservation now being in the Indian Territory and the balance of land was opened for settlement. In 1844 Wapello County was organized and Monroe and Lucas were attached to Wapello, and in 1845 Monroe organized and Lucas was attached to Monroe. The legislature of 1848-9 passed an act to organize Lucas County and they had their election in August and elected county officers and appointed three commissioners to locate the county seat. They met about the first of September, 1849. I do! not recollect the names of the commissioners except W.G. CLARK of Monroe County. They located the county seat on the quarter section where Chariton now is and gave it the name of Polk. The commissioners employed DAVID CHAPMAN of Monroe County to survey the quarter section into town lots and about the first of November, 1849, they advertised the sale of town lots to the highest bidder. After the sale the question came up as to the name the commissioners had given the county seat. They were not satisfied with the name of Polk. One proposed the name of Greencastle. MR. TOWNSEND jumped up (the grass on the site was about a foot high) and said it was green enough but where was your castle? Then I proposed the name of Chariton, which name was then adopted. At the same legislature in 1848-9 they passed an act to establish a state road from Eddyville and Ottumwa to unite in the west part of Monroe County to Traders Point on the Missouri River 4 miles below Kanesville, now ! Council Bluffs. At the request of the court and citizens of Lucas the y adjourned until the county seat was located and then located the road through Chariton. In January, 1852, I took the contract to carry the mail from Albia to Chariton once a week. At that time there were two stores in operation: NELSON & RYLEY, WESCOATT and O.L. PALMER, NELSON WESCOATT being postmaster. HENRY ALLEN had a hotel on the southeast corner of the square. The old log court house stood north of ALLEN's Hotel. Two brothers, WAYNICKS, who were physicians and DAVID their brother, I think, had a drug store. BEVERLY SEARCY, Col. JOHN EDWARDS, CULBERTSON and quite a number of others whom I do not remember were living there then. There were WILSON, ROBINSON, MCDERMOT, LARIMER, PROTHERS, WIRT and I think DR. WAYNICK's father, BAUM & SHELLER, surveyors, and others I cannot mention now. In 1853 the government removed the land office from Fairfield to Chariton and the mail service was ordered up three times a week. MR. BRAUNER, FORD & ANDERSON, DR. FITCH and others ! came in that year. MR. CULBERTSON built a two story frame house on the south for hotel, DR. COWLS, of Farmington, opened a store on the west side of the square. I think the first attorney was a young man by the name of SIGLER. Afterwards came MR. DAVIS, a brother-in-law of DR. WAYNICK. My term of carrying the mail expired on the first of July, 1854 when the Western Stage Co. took the contract to carry it from Fairfield to Chariton. In 1848 the county commissioners of Monroe County established precincts for election purposes at Chariton, Pt. Pisgah and Kanesville. That was the election at which the poll books of Kanesville were stolen from Monroe County. The Mormons were driven out of Nauvoo, Ill., in 1846. They crossed the Mississippi River and a great many came to Eddyville and crossed the Des Moines River, passed west by the way of CLARK'S Point and quite a number stopped on Grand River and made a settlement at Pisgah and opened quite a road called the Mormon trail, which was traveled by people going to California in 1849, 50 and 51. In the year 1848 I became acquainted with Col. DUNGAN, your worthy president. His brother, LEVI S. DUNGAN, came to our house in 1844 seeking a location as a physician. We invited him to stay all night with us which he did. In the morning we were so well pleased with him we asked him to loacte with us at CLARK'S Point. He acquired a good practice and was a skillf! ul physician. As a man he was admired and beloved by all. He was elected first postmaster in Monroe County at Clarksville. As I have written this from memory of events of 50 years and more ago I may have made some mistakes. If so, please excuse me. -- Yours, JOHN CLARK, Albia, Iowa. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 29, 2004

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 27, 1905 On Wednesday morning, July 26, 1905, at 9:30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother in Garden Grove occurred the marriage of MR. JAMES WARREN BEARD of Saint Joseph, Missouri, and MISS BESS M. BRUCE, the ceremony being performed by the bride's brother, Rev. GEO. BRUCE of Grimes. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only the relatives and a few intimate friends being present. MR. and MRS. BEARD left at noon the same day for St. Joe where they will reside and where they will be at home to their friends at 512 North Twelfth Street after August 1. The bride is a daughter of MRS. MARY A. BRUCE and with her mother resided in Chariton for several years. While here she was employed as reporter for the Herald. She is a delightful type of true womanhood, cultured and refined, and the nobility and sweetness of her character have endeared her to all who know her. MR. BEARD is spoken of as an excellent young man, highly esteemed for his sterling worth and fine traits of character. For some time he has been employed in St. Joe as Superintendent of the telephone lines. The Leader adds its hearty good wishes to those of the hosts of friends and trusts that their pathway through life will be strewn with flowers and sunshine and that the most bounteous blessings, both temporal and spiritual will be theirs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 29, 2004

On January 7, 1907, their only child, William Clinton, was born. John William left Chariton when Clinton was about three months old. He went to Council Bluffs to look for work on the railroad.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 27, 1905 DAN TUTTLE, of this city, received a telegram Monday informing him that his brother, JOHN TUTTLE, had been fatally shot that afternoon at Walla Walla, Washington. He was Deputy Sheriff there and it is probable, was in the discharge of official duty at the time of his death. The deceased formerly resided at Chariton but went west 32 years ago and was 56 years of age. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 29, 2004

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 20, 1905 The death of T.O. MCKINLEY, which occurred at his home in Russell, last Saturday, removes from the stage of action perhaps the oldest continued resident of Lucas County. The MCKINLEY family has been a noted one with its numerous branches and the MCKINLEYS of this county came from Indiana in an early day and assisted materially in making Lucas County what it is -- especially the eastern part. But the ranks are being thinned year by year until there are comparatively few left. The family has been noted for thrift and energy and few, if any, have been known to fall short of that standard of good citizenship, meeting the obligations of life honorably as they presented themselves. T.O. MCKINLEY well preserved the family character and in his earlier manhood was of strong physiqe and to those who knew him his breakdown and demise seems almost unreal. His fatal disease was paralysis, with which he has been afflicted for several months. To his family he leaves a monument of vir! tue and his children have the heritage of an honorable career. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OBITUARY THOMAS OTTAWA MCKINLEY was born in Putnam County, Indiana, on May 13,1846 and died in Russell, Iowa, on July 16, 1905, aged 68 years, 2 months and 2 days. He was the son of WILLIAM and EMILY MCKINLEY. He was one of a family of eleven children, all of whom with three exceptions are yet living. One sister and two brothers having preceded him to the spirit world. He came to Iowa with his parents in 1849, and has lived in Washington Township, Lucas County, since that time. This places him among the old settlers, and because of the same he was well known over the east part of the county. He was married to ADALINE GOOKIN on December 27, 1863. Three children were born to them, two of whom survive him. They are MINOR C. and MRS. VIOLA LOCKRIDGE, both residents of Washington Township, Lucas County. One child, a boy, died in September, 1866. He also leaves seven grandchildren. His wife died October 12, 1894. On March 16, 1899, he was married to HARRIETT TRIMBLE who survives him, and with his cihldren and grandchildren, mourn his loss. He resided on his farm in Washington Township from 1864 until his removal to Russell some two years since on account of failing health. He was converted to God in the year 1879, in a meeting held by Rev. Urbino and Miller, and united with the Trinity United Evangelical Church in Washington Township, where he has been a faithful supporter and worker, until failing health deprived him of attendance at the public means of grace. He will be missed from among us, but will live in memory of one who did what he could to honor God in his life, his home, and in his church. The funeral services were held at the home on Monday, July 17, conducted by Rev. Chas. Pickford, the Pastor of Trinity Church, and were largely attended by relatives and friends of the family. Interment was made in the Ragtown Cemetery in Benton Township. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 29, 2004 *This was very hard to read, as it was so dark -- so, if I've made any mistakes on dates, etc. please let me know.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 20, 1905 Wednesday morning the startling news was telephoned into town from Warren Township that an old gentleman, by the name of SOLOMON D. WAYNICK, had been found dead. It seems that MR. WAYNICK, who was an old pioneer of Warren Township, 86 years old, left his house to take a walk over his little farm, as was his custom, Tuesday afternoon. Not returning for supper, search was made for him all night, and along in the early hours of the morning, his lifeless body was found in the edge of a field of oats on the PETERSON farm, adjoining the WAYNICK place and about three quarters of a mile from his own house. The supposition is, that he was overcome by the intense heat, with death as the result. Brief funeral services conducted by J.M. Cowan were held at the family home this afternoon at two o'clock after which the remains were interred in the Waynick Cemetery. SOLOMON WAYNICK was born in North Carolina. When quite young he moved with his parents to Indiana where he lived until the fall of 1854 when he came to Iowa, locating in Warren Township, this county, where he has since resided. He was the father of seven children, five of whom are living. They are HENRY C. of this city; WILLIAM, JEFFERSON, DOW and MINA of Warren Township. MRS. WAYNICK died about four years ago. MR. WAYNICK was one of those sturdy pioneers who overcame many obstacles and who, by his industrious careful habits and pleasant manners won the high regard of all with whom he came in contact. his sudden and sad death is deeply deplored and the sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of the entire community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 29, 2004

Lucas Co., IA;?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hello Bill, David and fellow Lucas Co. researchers: In further studying the Sarah A. Bidlake>Tuttle>Miller and Sarah J. Budd>Wheeler>Bidlake information, perhaps the mix up occured in that there were TWO Sarah Bidlakes - over time - that caused the confusion, one BORN Bidlake, 1844 and one Sarah J. Budd who MARRIED a _____ Bidlake. !! Phew!!... Perhaps we have it now ?? :-) ***Now in further checking family trees on the net, I've found one posted by Richard Kinkead that shows William Stanley Tuttle's SON, William Erwin Tuttle, b. 1845, d. 4 Oct 1902, was the man who married Sarah A. Bidlake, b. 1844. That would be more "age appropriate" anyway for her. The two of them had Clara Tuttle in 1863. Sometime after that was when Sarah left with Mr. Miller. In general, it appears there's a generation off in our thinking -- as to which wife belongs to whom. Wives attributed to Wm Stanley Tuttle are actually those of his son's: Wm. Erwin Tuttle. Mr. Kinkead shows Mary Terry as Wm Stanley Tuttle's only wife. Then, his son, Wm Erwin, is the one who m. first, to Sarah Bidlake, b. abt 1845, m. 1862; then Elizabeth RHESEKER, b. abt 1847, m. abt 1864; and lasly, Margaret BROWN, m. abt 1866. It would be nice to have confirmation of that family line. Perhaps that would resolve the ongoing dialogue here. :-) Just in case folks notice another Sarah Tuttle's: Wm. Stanley Tuttle had a daughter, Sarah Louise Tuttle, b. 1851, Iowa. 1860 Census: Washington, Wayne Co., Indiana: Sarah A. Bidlake, age 15 b. OH living with parents, farmers: Charles W.[43y, OH] & Elvira [39y, OH] and youngers siblings, James D.

Stanley: In reviewing some background information about Wm. Stanley's Sarah, it appears that Sarah went with Mr. Miller to either Indiana or Ohio. Which one? -- perhaps knowing which state would assist in additional research in locating that heritage. There are some guesses, but nothing certain. At any rate, reflecting on ... 1. "Wm Stanleys granddaughter, Nettie Tuttle Fluke researched this Sarah thing, and found ... they were divorced in 1866. Nettie found that Sarah, and Dau Clara went off to Indiana with the co-respondent Miller. They were married there. " 2. "...she went off to Ohio and married there. This was a bit I got from a conversation with my cousin John G...Pierce. (His grandmother was Lydia Tuttle Davis 1888.) " That's enough on this line for a bit. If anyone has some insight on the family, it would be most helpful -- a genalogical puzzle. :-) Mary Beth in Wisconsin -- keeping the brain active. :-) On 28.08.2004 at 18:56:21, "William E.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 7, 1906 An event worthy of note was celebrated at the JOSEPH PARKINS home in Union Township. This was the fiftieth anniversary of the landing of the PARKINS and NEWSOME families in America. The NEWSOME family consisted of five sons and four daughters, the late wife of JOSEPH PARKINS being a NEWSOME. JOHN NEWSOME, who preceded the balance to the United States two years, died in Chariton, a few months since. WRIGHT NEWSOME resides in Union Township and the other brothers at Chester, Pennsylvania, where they all first settled, MR. PARKINS coming to Lucas County some 28 years ago. There were present on the occasion last Saturday almost twenty-five of the relatives. The loyalty of this family to its adopted country is interesting. Of the five NEWSOME sons, four of them bore arms for the Union during the civil conflict between the north and south, and also the husbands of the four daughters. In peace they have ever been good citizens, lovng their native land none the less but America more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 28, 2004 *What a wonderful tribute!

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 20, 1905 MR. JOHN NEWSOME, one of Chariton's most respected residents, passed to the Great Beyond on Saturday morning, July 15, 1905, at the age of 70 years, 8 months and 7 days, from an illness of several years with kidney trouble. For over a year he had been confined to his bed but bore his intense sufferings uncomplainingly. Largely attended funeral services conducted by Rev. Webster Hakes, Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, were held at the family home on East Linden Avenue on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. A quartette comprised of Messrs. H.E. Caughlan, Will Trost, S.M. Greene and S.C. Hickman sang several beautiful selections. On Monday morning the remains were taken to Last chance where brief services conducted by Rev. Hakes, were held at 10:30 at the church, after which interment took place in the cemetery at that place, the ceremonies at the grave being conducted by Iseminger Post, G.A.R., of which he had been a respected member. JOHN NEWSOME, son of JAMES and REBECCA NEWSOME, was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, on November 13, 1834. On March 21, 1854, at the age of nineteen years, he embarked from Liverpool for America, the "land of his dreams" from childhood, reaching Philadelphia on May 10th. Near this point he engaged in a cotton mill, being a weaver by occupation. He was soon afterward employed in a woolen mill at Rockford, Pa. So great was his love for his adopted country that two days after President Lincoln's first call for volunteers he offered himself in her defense, and enlisted in the Anderson Guards on April 16, 1861. They were eventually mustered into the United States service on May 25th in Company B, 28th Pennsylvania Volunteers. At the battle of Chancelorsville he was wounded in the right thigh and taken prisoner. He was soon exchanged and after he recovered from his injury again enlisted in the service. He was made sergeant of his company and afterward was p! romoted to the office of lieutenant. Through the long conflict he did his duty as a man and a soldier and was honorably discharged on June 18, 1864. While off on a furlough, he was married on March 10, 1864, to MISS ELIZABETH MURPHY of Philadelphia, Pa., who survives him. To this union were given five children, one of whom died in infancy. Those who are living are: FRANK and ROSS(?) NEWSOME of this city; MRS. BERTHA CRIST and MRS. MABEL CRIST of Woodburn. Besides his immediate family, MR. NEWSOME also leaves three brothers in Pennsylvania and one brother, WRIGHT NEWSOME, in Union Township, this county. In early manhood he became a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church and has lived a life honest in the sight of God and man. To his family and friends he has left a heritage far better than gold, a pure and blameless character. In 1886 he removed his family from Delaware County, Pennsylvania, to Clarke County, Iowa and there he resided until in 1890 on account of failing health he left his farm and came to Chariton, and from his home here he quietly passed away to the Heavenly Home where dear ones awaited him. His death is lamented by a host of friends who will extend heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 28, 2004 *This was barely readable, as it is soooo dark -- so if I have made mistakes, let me know..

Munn were held at the United Presbyterian Church in this city on Friday afternoon at two o'clock after which the remains were interred in the Chariton Cemetery. JAMES GILLASPIE, son of MR. and MRS.

Dear Listers- Does anyone have any family info on a HAZEL MCCLURE (or McLure) b abt. 1900 ? I have a photo of her with my grandpa, George W Kinkead taken about 1930 or so and cannot figure out the relationship, if there even was one. Many thanks, Dick Kinkead Lantana, FL

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 22, 1905 To the great surprise of their many friends, MR. HENRY ENGEBRETSEN and MISS FRANKIE KRIDELBAUGH were quietly married on Sunday forenoon, June 18, 1905, at nine o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Webster Hakes, Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, in the presence of the relatives and a few intimate friends. MR. and MRS. ENGEBRETSEN left at noon Sunday for a few days' visit in Ottumwa, returning Tuesday night. They expect to reside in this city. The wedding occurred Sunday as the bride's father left the following day for St. Joe to receive medical treatment for a few weeks and they wanted him to witness the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of MR. and MRS. W.W. KRIDELBAUGH and has resided in Chariton from childhood. She graduated from our public schools in the spring of 1899 and has since studied music in Burlington and Des Moines. The groom has an interest in the Red Cross Pharmacy on the south side. His home is in Glenwood, Minn., but he has resided here for the past year and a half. Both young people are highly respected and have a host of friends who will wish them a pleasant voyage over life's tempestuous sea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 28, 2004
