Before he was 3 years old Leroy's mother died but her place was filled after a time, by a kind and understanding step mother, Mary Lindley, of Ball District, just east of here. In 1861, the Chambers family moved to this Crawford County, Illinois from Indiana. Here they built a home on the farm where their children grew up and a daughter, Flora still lives. At the age of 21, Leroy Chambers and Lucetta Newlin were united in marriage and established a farm home for themselves, on land east of Annapolis now known as the Henry Cox place. They resided here a few years where their oldest son, Oscar was born and they prospered in many years, then deciding to do for themselves, they built a comfortable home on Chambers lane. Here the other 7 children were born and raised. The rise of Leroy Chambers in the cattle business was a phenomenal sucess. He acquired more land and many advanced improvements until his place was considered one of the best in this part of the country. In this year 1896, L. E. Chambers went West to join his son, Oscar, and daughter, Estella, and resided there, engaged in the carpenter business in mining districts of Colorado, until the spring of 1924 when he returned here and has since made his home with Alice and Everett Chambers.

I'm just posting an Obit that was sent to me by Barbara Dix who is transcribing old news articles for the website. Catherine Voorheis, daughter of Mahlon and Eliza Voorheis, was born Dec.27th, 1841, died Jan. 26th, 1897. She was united in marriage with Wm. P. Musgrave Nov. 24th, 1864, and at once became a true mother to her husband's four motherless children. To her were given seven sons and daughters, three of whom survive her, and they, with one older sister, now mourn the loss of mother. She became a Christian when quite young and later in life was a devoted, loyal member of the Friends' Church, and was faithful to perform every duty - being often heard in paryer and testimony. She frequently expressed an intense desire that her children might walk in ways of the Lord.The chief characteristic of her life was a great loving heart, which lavished its its wealth on all relatives and friends. Ever forgetful of self, she spent her life in loving effort to help others. She bore her long painful illness  without a murmur. The end was a peaceful sleep, to awaken in the beautiful city that hath foundations. Her children and all on whom her benediction rested find that words are inadequate to express or eulogize her self sacrificing-love. As words fail, we may honor her in taking up her labor of love that it may be said of us, as of her, "She has done what she could".                    "At the crystal river bank                     We shall find each broken link.                     The flower that faded here.                     Left our hearts and homes so drear                     We shall  see more bright and clear,                     Some sweet day, by and by."

I'm just posting an Obit that was sent to me by Barbara Dix who is transcribing old news articles for the website. WM. P. MUSGRAVE  CALLED  TO  REST. Passes Quietly to the Great Beyond Monday March, 1. William Pierson Musgrave, aged 86 years, 3 months and 19 days passed away at his home about two miles north of Hutsonville just before the noon hour Monday March 1st . Funeral services were held at Union Chapel Wednesday, March 3rd at 10 a. m., conducted by the home ministers led by Cyrus Guyer. Interment in the Musgrave cemetery. The large concourse of friends who filled the church to over flowing and who accompanied the remains to their last resting place bore testimony to the high standing and regard in which the deceased was held by all who knew him. He passed away quietly and without a sembalance of pain, just going into a peaceful slumber. At no time during his last illness did he seem to suffer. Mr. Musgrave was a native of this township, his parents, who were North Carolina Quakers, having come to this country in the year 1818 and taken up a government land claim. When he was only twenty years of age, he was appointed a delegate to the Friends' yearly meeting in Dayton Ohio and made the trip and return on horseback. In earlier days he had hauled apples, wool and other produce as far as Chicago to find a market, bringing back salt and other things. Mr. Musgrave was one of the pioneer business men of the village having opened up a store on the river just back of the present McNutt & Musgrave Bros. hardware establishment. About 1854 he formed a partnership with the late Dr. Meserve of Robinson. Meserve & Musgrave sold drugs in a small building that stood near where the Farmers & Merchants bank now stands. After a short duration the firm dessolved and in 1861 Mr. Musgrave and Wm. Coffin, a brother-in-law, formed a partnership and started a general store on the ground where the present Hurst Bros. store now stands. After one year Coffin withdrew and Dr. Thomas Kennedy, also a brother-in-law of Mr. Musgrave, be came a partner. After a short time Kennedy withdrew and in 1864 W. P. Musgrave and John R. Hurst formed a partnership which lasted but one year when Isaac Lowe, father of Judge A. L. Lowe, bought Mr. Musgrave out and he returned to the farm where he spent the remainder of his days. Following is the obituary: William Pierson, son of Nathan and Mary Musgrave, was born Nov. 12, 1828 and was married to Percilia E. Coffin Oct. 8th, 1849. They were married according to the custom of the Friends' Church in a public meeting with out license, they pronouncing the ceremony, this being the legal form of marriage at that time. To this union were born five children, Edward P., John E., Izora E. Cox of Robinson, Ill., Lura B. Woodard and William R. All of these, except Izora, with their mother preceded him in death. He was again married to Catherine J. Voorheis Oct. 24, 1864(1?). To this union were born seven children, Nathan A., Flora F., Mary E., Edward V., Mahlon H., Eliza B. and Harry, three of whom survive being Nathan, Mary and Mahlon. He also left fifteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. His parents came to this country and settled here in the year 1818. They were one of the most prominent families in the early development of this country. The Indians were numerous here at that time and wild game such as deer and turkey were in abundance. Uncle William saw the country transformed from a wilderness which by the sturdy stroke of industry was made to "Blossom as the Rose", as we see it today. He had a birthright and was a life long member of the Friends' Church. He bore his first public testimony in Christ at the age of 17. This was unusual in those days of quiet meetings. By his simple, honest and upright life he was known by all as a Godly man. He was ever ready, both in public and and private, to speak of the Master he loved so well. He had a profound reverance for the Holy Scriptures and was faithful to read them in daily devotion, night and morning, with his family often speaking upon such occasions that his prospect was bright. His earthly treasure was goodwill to all and high regard for his children who so kindly cared him to the end. He leaves to his children and to his grandchildren a priceless legacy--an example of peace and goodwill to his fellow men.

I found a Ludwell Sanders in the Crawford County, IL marriage records married to Priscilla Conrad but I'm not sure this is the right person. This is what I have so far: Ludwill Sanders married Minnie Elliott and they had four children: Nathan Sanders, Walter Sanders, Mrs. Irene Sanders Fauts and Mrs. Velma Sanders Foster. According to Nathan's obituary in 1975 his brother was living in Patosi, Missouri and his sisters Velma and Irene were living in Ridgefarm, IL. Also according to his obituary both his parents, Ludwill and Minnie had passed away at the time of his death. Nathan was born January 6, 1892 near West York, Crawford County, IL and died September 21, 1975 in Robinson. He is buried along with his second wife, Edna (Buckley) Sanders in the Robinson New Cemetery. I'm looking for any information on this family. I was told that Nathan ran a laundry mat in Robinson after he retired from Mahutska Oil Company. Thanks in advance for your help. Misty [email protected]

Posted on: Crawford Co. Il Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/CrawfordObits/10135 Surname: Hurst, Happell, McGilvray, Bishop ------------------------- Note: I have no connection to this family. I'm just posting an Obit that was sent to me by Barbara Dix who is transcribing old news articles for the website. Funeral  of  L.  C.  Hurst. The funeral of L. C. Hurst was held at the Baptist Church Friday afternoon, and was attended by probably the largest concourse of friends and relatives that ever gathered in this community on a like occasion, only a small portion being able to obtain seats in the building. The pall bearers chosen were nephews of the deceased, and ushers were selected from Mrs. Hurst's Sunday School class. The floral tributes were beautiful and profuse, the Elks' emblem especially being a work of beauty. Rev. Henry Happell of Terre Haute, Ind., a former pastor, conducted the services, being assisted by Rev. D. H. McGilvray. As a basis for his remarks Rev. Happell took as his text Rev. 14: 13--- "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." It was an excellent discourse of comfort and hope, and the sorrows, trials, temptations and efflictions of this life were contrasted with the blessings promised to the faithful throughout eternity. The speaker paid eloquent tribute to the life and character of the deceased, of his personal relation to him, of his interest in the welfare of others and his usefulness in the Church and community, and though his labors on earth are over, his memory will long be cherished by all who knew him. The funeral was under the auspices of the Elks' Lodge of Robinson, with the Modern Woodman and Knights of Pythias as escorts. A large crowd accompanied the cortege to the cemetery, where the Elks' ritual service was observed. The shades of  night were coming on when the last sad rites had been performed, and as the people turned toward their homes it was to mourn the loss of a friend and regret the departure of one of the most unique characters in the history of Hutsonville. TRIBUTE FROM H. C. BELL. The death of my lifelong friend and pupil in my old school teaching days at Hutsonville, while it did not surprise, though it has infinintely grieved me, L. C. Hurst,has removed from Hutsonville township and Crawford County one of the most loyal friends, devoted husband and father, kindhearted citizen and best men of which any community could boast. He was a long sufferer, but through it all, genial and hopeful, the same old "Lush" whom everybody in Clark and Crawford Counties knew, and whom to know was to love and trust. When I saw him a few short weeks ago while as usual congenial and hopeful, yet I could see that the transition of my old friend was a matter of a very short time, and when I shook hands with him in the front yard of his beautiful home on the hill, I looked at him long and earnestly. I knew then that my eyes were resting on the earth tenement of my friend for the last time. I do not speak of his death, for my old friend, L. C. Hurst is not dead. He has only passed onward and upward to a higher, better, more satisfactory state of existence, and his beloved Minnie and his manly sons will surely some day see the loved husband and father again, and that, too, let us hope and believe, in a sphere of life where death never enters, where partings never come, where the flowers ever bloom, where the birds ever sing, where the sun ever shines, where the beautiful waters of the "Jasper Sea," as they roll forever over crystal beds, will unceasingly murmer sweet messages of peace and love. Where the gentle waves of sunlit summer seas will forever break in low sweet songs of peace and love on the golden sands of endless bliss: for, There is no death; the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more. Loyal friend, faithful  and devoted husband, fond father, perfect gentleman, honest man, great hearted citizen hail, and farewell. Through the changing scenes of over forty years, L. C. Hurst was one man whose friendship never wavered, whose loyalty I never had to question, who through evil and through good report, was my steadfast friend., as was his charming wife and her manly father, untill he passed away, and while looking through eyes blinded with tears, I want to type these few lines to his memory and to lay this brief and all unsatisfactory wreath of the flowers of love on his newly made grave. H. C. Bell.  Washington, D. C., November 21st. 1913. COINCIDENCES. The deaths of L. C. Hurst and D. D. Bishop portray several striking coincidences. Both are natives of this vicinity, and were born in the same month of the year, and their last illness was of a like nature. Their death occured on the same day and at about about the same hour. They were companions through life and in disposition were much alike. Both were charter members of the Baptist Church here, and were of the same belife politically. They thought of each other in their last days and exchanged messages of comfort. Truly the community is doubly stricken in sorrow by their demise.

Posted on: Crawford Co. Il Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Crawford/195 Surname: Musgrave ------------------------- From the Robinson Daily News article of Tuesday August 18 1998. The Union Meeting House near E. Bishop's was also called Musgrove's Meetings. This referred to Nathan Musgrave, another of the early Quakers. In 1861 the meet-ing was re-established, but laid down again in 1863. In 1872 it was re-established again and continued there until Samuel and Ruth Green gave an acre of land to the meeting in 1873. The next reference to the new meeting house is the nota-tion, Aug. 3, 1873: "Paid Enos Buckner, treasurer of the Meeting House building committee, $50.00 on my part." Part of the roll call of 1874 was: Delphia Cox, Cinderilia Mills, Ruth Green, Isobel Kennedy, Carolyn Guyer and Jane Guyer. The 1879 minutes carried the names of MarthaB. Newlin, Minta Reynolds, Phoeba Lindley and Jemima Cox. Other names added in 1880 were [email protected] Lindley, Abram Guyer, Samuel Green, Mary Jane Guyei Merrick Cox, Asa Folger, Hannah Lindley, John Cox, Adolphus Guyer, Benjamin Harrison, Leander Guyer, Al Reynolds, Burrell Bryant, Elihu Mills, James Conrad ani Henry Voorheis. The land for the new church was one and one-half mi, west of Route I on the Annapolis Road, in Hutsonville Township, commonly called Quaker Lane. The deed is dated April 1, 1873, and is to the Trustees of Rocky Run Monthly Meeting of Friends in Parke County, Ind., where the church remains today.
