Star - Clipper Supplement Traer, Iowa, April 8, 1886 History of North Tama By Daniel Connell JOSEPH CONNELL was born at paisley, Scotland, June 16, 1826, and was brought to this country by his parents. He served an apprenticeship and learned thoroughly the machinist trade in Norwich, Connecticut, working for a time at Worcester, Massachusetts. In the manufacturing districts of New England there was much dissatisfaction in the minds of employes of all branches with their lot and condition. A vague idea of the happiness and independence of a farmer was ever present with them, and the cheap lands of the West haunted them with a desire to possess a farm and not be tied to a factory bell. The consequence was that tens of thousands rushed with little capital and no experience into privations, hardships and debt, and were glad to return stripped of the little they had to again take up the humdrum life of watching the revolving spindle. Joseph and an elder brother concluded they would try their fortunes as farmers in a new country, and on May, 14, 1852, bid adieu to all their former friends and life. He was a anguine (?) in temperment , but frail in body. The hopes of gaining in physical strength was an inducement for the step. He did not intend to fail, said he would never go back; that he would succeed. To a brother on saying farewell added: "Cheer up Dan, I will make a home for you." They never met again. For two years and three months he was the life of the settlement. In the autumn of 1854 he was not well and was unable to work. His father and Jonas P. Wood were one day going to Benton City to mill and to trade. As he could do nothing at home he concluded he would go with them. While at mill the miller advised their wheat be run through the fanning mill. He assisted and became heated, and as they slept in the mill he probably took cold. Next day on their way home some four miles west of Vinton he was seized with cramps. He was laid on the ground, and Mr. Wood hastened for help. A physician arrived who advised a return to Vinton. Cramps and pains increased. All the usual remedies were applied without avail. After intense suffering he died during the night. It was accredited a case of Asiatic Cholera. He died September 10, 1854, aged twenty-six - too young to die, when so much to do. April 15 ROBERT CONNELL was born January 25, 1829, at Paisley, Scotland, and was brought to America by his parents when little more than three years old. He came to Buckingham in August, 1852. He was a weakly boy, yet he settled down to farming with a will. While not able to do a big day's work, yet by constant doing what he could he made some money. He was sober, patient, honest, quiet, industrious and sure. Bob succeeded in gaining a reputation for uprightness, honor, charity and neighborly acts. When his mother died and his father being averse to a change in his methods of life, Robert gave himself, time and desires entirely to his father, remaining with him until his death in October, 1875. Robert never recovered his health thereafter, but gradually sank until February 14, 1876, he died quietly, having been unconscious for nearly a day, aged forty-seen years.

Star Clipper Supplement Traer, Iowa, April 8, 1886 History of North Tama By Daniel Connell Biographies Chapter XXXI DANIEL CONNELL was born in the city of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, June 16, 1796. He served for a time in the military service of Great Britain in a corps called out during the European disturbance occasioned by Bonaparte, which was pacified by his defeat at Waterloo and subsequent banishment. He was married in 1821. In 1830 he removed to Edinburg, and in 1832 to the United States, locating at Norwich, Connecticut, and engaged in the manufacture of ingrain carpets. He sold to W. A. Buckingham, who was also in the same business there, and entered his employment, continuing until the business was closed by Mr. Buckingham in 1852. In that year two of his sons having located at Buckingham, Iowa, he came, accompanied by his son Robert and his daughter Margaret, to visit them. Liking the country he invested in land and returned to Connecticut. Next Spring, with his wife and youngest daughter, Mary, he removed here and became a quiet, respected citizen, a man whose name was above reproach and whose word was honor. Mr. Connell died October 5, 1875. Mrs. Connell was born the same year - 1796 - in the same town, shared the vicissitude of fortune, the hardship of emigration with six small children uncomplainingly, and cheerfully took life's burden and carried it to the end. Her advent to the West was at a time when comforts like which she had been surrounded were not to be had. She never complained. She received a severe shock on the report that her eldest son was killed in battle, which could not be disproved of for many weeks. She gradually failed, and in May, 1866, she quietly passed to an eternal rest, aged seventy years.

At that time it consisted of the mother, the sons Jonas P., Joshua C. and Lyman E., the daughters Rachel, Eva and Lucy, and a sister of the mother, together with Mrs. Hitchner, another daughter, although not living with them. They lived in a large log cabin in the northwest corner of National Grove, section 4, Perry township, on the State road - Cedar Rapids to Eldora. They opened a large farm and entertained travelers for many years, few passing through who did not stop at Jonas Wood's, he being considered the head of the house. In those days the most of the travelers were in search of land, and the boys were frequently away finding corners and showing land, from which realizing many an honest dollar (that is if the bank was sound) Jonas was a surveyor, and his time was in demand throughout the entire county, and in a few years made Toledo his headquarters as a surveyor. About this time the brothers divided their possession, Jonas retaining the home farm, and Joshua on section 33 in Buckingham, with a piece in section 4, Perry. Lyman, better known as Dock, opened a farm on section 6, Perry. Jonas returned to his farm in 1861, and his family now reside on the land they entered in 1852. The title to it is from the United States to them. The brothers married and settled. Jonas married Miss Margaret Connell in 1856. Joshua married first, miss Elizabeth Kile in 1856. She died the next year. In 1858 he married Miss Hannah McKune, of Crystal. Lyman married miss Augusta McKune, a sister of Mrs. Joshua C. Of the daughters, Rachael married N. C. Rice, removed to Dysart and died. Lucy married Cornelius Gay, who died in 1865. Mrs. Gay now resides in Humboldt, Iowa. Eva lives with Lyman. Mrs. Wood, the mother, died in 1858. The aunt Miss Heckathorne, died in 188- at an advanced age. Another sister of Mrs. Wood was the mother of Dr. Daniel, and died in 1879, well stricken in years. The family has always been prominent in North Tama, and Jonas has a reputation as broad as the county. As a surveyor he has been on nearly every section in the county, and has run the lines on hundreds of farms. He was, in 1856, a candidate for school fund commissioner. A defection in Toledo caused his defeat and the election of a man who stole the funds. He took the U. S. census in the north half of the county in1870. Jonas was the first in the settlement to extensively engage in fruit culture, which he found profitable. The other two, while now not as extensively known away from home, in the early days were. At home they enjoy the respect of all, and have for years in their respective towns filled public office. The settlement - rather its history - without the Wood family would read like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. ------------------------------ To contact the IATAMA list administrator, send an email to IATAMA-admin@rootsweb.com.

http://news.com.com/Historic+passenger+lists+of+ships+go+online/2100-1047_3-6148931.html?tag=cd.top People looking to track ancestors who emigrated from British ports will be able to search online passenger lists of the ships that carried them to new lands. Released on Wednesday by Britain's National Archives, the passenger manifests give an insight into all long-distance trips made by 30 million travelers from the country's ports between 1890 and 1960, including that of the Titanic which sank in 1912. "We hope the digitization will open up a hugely valuable resource for genealogists and social historians all over the world," said Dan Jones, National Archives' head of business development. The records, available via commercial Web site findmypast.com, which was licensed by The National Archives, also show the passages of trans-European migrants. Many were Jews fleeing persecution, who began their journeys in continental Europe and traveled to British ports like Southampton and Liverpool to catch cheap sailings. During this period, thousands of Britons were propelled by economic reasons to seek new beginnings abroad. Between 1890 and 1914 an estimated 125,000 Britons emigrated every year to the United States, with 50,000 going to Canada and 25,000 to Australia. Trips to all continents are covered with sailings to South America, the Caribbean, West Africa and all parts of Asia. Initially only the period from 1890-1900 will be available but subsequent decades will be put online over the next few months. The lists provide an intriguing glimpse of individual voyages. What, for example, did 40-year-old Glaswegian spinster dairy maid Elizabeth Barr make of New Zealand when she arrived in 1923 on the steamship Remuera? Did she perhaps strike up an onboard friendship with John Woodrow, 21, a rabbit-catcher from Warwickshire? Or did she build a new life with another fellow passenger, 33-year-old London fireman Rufus Workman? Although the passenger lists have been available at the archives' offices in Kew, southwest London, for some time they are indexed by port of departure only and not name, making it difficult to find a particular individual. The passenger lists, which are presented online in their original form, vary. Some are typed, others are handwritten. Some record tantalizingly little detail while others give occupations, addresses and ultimate destinations overseas. Story Copyright © 2007 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.

He was from Tama County, where he had resided for more than twenty-five years. The remains were buried in the cemetery near this city on Sunday last. MR. DAVIS was a man highly esteemed by those who knew him. His aged wife and four children have the sympathy of the community. Fairfield Ledger (Jefferson County, Iowa) Sept. 14, 1887 Page 3 col. 8 MARRIED SIXTY YEARS. On August 30, 1827, in Ohio, BENJAMIN PIERCE was married to MISS. RACHEL COPPOCK….Few people in our midst have done more through charitable work and more eventful histories than MR. and MRS. PEIRCE[sic]. Both were reared according to the strictest tenets of the orthodox Friends, but gradually grew into what they are pleased to term liberal ideas, relying more upon faithful works and less upon creed and form….The spirit of abolition was born in both of them. MRS. PEIRCE[sic] came from the celebrated COPPOCK family. Two of her cousins, ED. and BARCLAY COPPOCK, enlisted under JOHN BROWN’S standard in Cedar County, this state, and were with him in his famous Harper’s Ferry raid. BARCLAY escaped to the mountains after the encounter with the troops, but ED. was hung on the same scaffold with the martyr BROWN. In all these troublous times both these good people risked life and fortune for the slave. For years their home was a station on the great underground railroad, on which so many of these poor people took passage, and many is the weary refugee who has received aid at their hands. With the means at their command they not only gave succor to the fleeing slave, but the widow and the orphan have never gone from their home empty handed, and though never blessed with children of their own their roof has sheltered many a fatherless and motherless child. The works and memories of MR. and MRS. PEIRCE will live long after they have gone, and their simple lives and excellent example will long remain in the minds of those who knew their history.

Hi Janet, I do not know if Dale subscribes to the iatama@rootsweb.com site or not but I will forward this on to him. Both Dale and I have interest in this Thomas Hulme. Thomas married my second great grandfather's twin sister Ann Hyde. So where do we start now?

Hi John, I have been searching for information on where my grandfather, John Cady's sister and brother, Elizabeth Cady Hart, and David C. Cady are buried. The Historical Society has been wonderful to help me and just recently they found this information. In the Hulme plot are Thomas and Ann and many of his family members along with the two Hart children. Since the children died before Elizabeth I thought surely she would also have been buried there too. They talked with someone in Traer about it and found there is also a "space 3" of that plot that had no name but "burial" had been written in with pencil. Perhaps that could have been Elizabeth but we have no proof. She also thought it possible this plot belonged to the Hart/Cady family first and they left the area soon after the death of Elizabeth and moved over to Buena Vista County, and perhaps this plot was passed on to the Hulme's family who arrived later. I did see in Dale's pages on Rootweb he does have some Hart's listed in his information, but I cannot see a connection to mine but my Hart information is limited. I do have the obituaries on both Thomas Hulme and his wife Ann Hyde, if you don't have them I would be happy to share with you. It doesn't mention in her obit that she was a twin or her parents names, but does list children and nieces. Do you have any Hart's in your line also? James Merrill Hart b.12/28/1840 England was married to Elizabeth Cady in Wisconsin. His parents were: John Hart b. abt. 1811 and Mary Hutsen b. abt.1819 Their children: James M. Hart, Thomas Hart, John Hart, Isaac Hart, Edward Hart, Mary Hart, Martha Hart, Allen Hart, Emelie Hart.

-----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [IATAMA] AXLER You will be contacted by Dale Halupnik who is very knowledgeable with the Traer history where there were/are Axler families. I have been following the discussion about Traer. I have found my Cady/Hart family in Traer in the 1870's and I am hoping that Dale Halupnik reads our list as his name has come up with family history of Thomas Hulme. I do not know if or how my family connects to Thomas Hulme, but two of the Hart children are buried in the Hulme family plot in Buckingham Cemetery. These children belong to James and Elizabeth Cady Hart. The only connection I know of is that the Hulmes and the Harts came from England. I am hoping that Dale reads here and will contact me also if he has any information on the Thomas Hulme/James M. Hart families. Thanks, Janet
