Hi All, I recently received a pension record from the Civil War for Andrew J. Thompson and he is not my Gr.Gr. Grandfather. This Andrew was married to Alice May Tyrrell June 20, 1871 at Hamilton Hancock County Illinois and they had two children, Edwin J. Thompson and Deda M. Thompson. It looks like Andrew did a lot of moving around. On Feb 15, 1898 he was in Trinidad Colorado. I think him and Alice were living apart from what I can make out of the record. If anyone is related to this Andrew let me know and I will be glad to send the record to them. Thank You. Roberta Summers.

Il Bios Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/HancockBios?read=10 Surname: Booker, Kimbrough, Lambert, Mapes, Robison, Simpson, Thornber, Wiedmyer ------------------------- The Carthage Republican Carthage, Illinois Wednesday July 1, 1931 Page 7 Column 2 MY ANCESTORS. Edith Mapes. Most of my ancestors were of Irish and French descent. Joseph Mapes was born in Ohio in 1820 and was married to Jane Simpson in 1841. To this union fourteen children were born, all dying at a young age except four, namely: Henry, Delila, Rachel and Phoebe. Henry was born in 1843 at Middleborough, Ohio. He came with his father to Illinois in 1863 and located on the DeHart farm northeast of Carthage. In 1866 he was married to Miss Narcisse Kimbrough and located on a farm northeast of Carthage and in 1877 moved to a farm near Powellton, which still belongs to the Mapes family. To this union four children were born: Frank, Mary, Thomas and Clara, who died at the age of three. Thomas Mapes lives one-half mile from his father's place and Mary, who lived with her father till his death in October, 1928, and is still living on the old home place. Frank Mapes, my grandfather, was born on February 9th, 1868. In 1888 he was married to Susie Lambert, her mother being Jane Thornber before marriage, and her father being a Latter Day Saint elder. Her four brothers, Joseph, Daniel, George and William were also elders. To this union four children were born: Lester, Emory, Hazel and Flossie. Lester is a teacher in a St. Louis high school in Missouri. Emory, my father, lives on a farm one and one-half miles from his father's home northwest of Ferris, Ill., which Mrs. T. E. Buckey, of Iowa, owns. Judge Mack of Carthage has the renting of it. Hazel lives in Omaha, Nebr. Flossie lives on a farm near Stronghurst, Ill. When all these children were very young their mother was taken from them by death, which left them in the care of their father. After the death of their mother, the father sold his place and moved to Oklahoma, living there just one year, when they returned to Illinois and bought the farm again. In 1905 he was married to Miss Eva Robison and to this union one child was born, Kenneth, who lives at home. Emory Mapes, my father, lives on a farm northwest of Ferris, Illinois. He was born September 21st, 1892, and helped his father farm until 1913 when he was married to Miss Willa Wiedmyer of Loraine, Ill. Willa Wiedmyer was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Wiedmyer, of Loraine, Illinois, her mother being Jane Booker before marriage. To Mr. and Mrs. Emory Mapes were born six children, one son dying in infancy in 1915, the others being Edith, myself, Ruth, Mildred, Robert and Betty Jane, all being at home. I have no great grandparents living, but have two grandfathers, one grandmother and one step-grandmother, living. Bibliography 1. Grandfather Mapes; 2. Grandmother Wiedmyer; 3. parents.

The father engaged in farming in Todd county until 1834, when he brought his family to Hancock county, Illinois, settling in Carthage township, where he purchased a farm of forty acres east of the city of Carthage. He built there a log cabin and began the development of the property. He lived there for some years and afterward sold the farm, removing to a larger farm which he rented. A number of years later he took up his abode in Carthage where he lived retired, his death occurring here when he was 86 years of age. Wm. R. Kimbrough obtained his education in a log school house walking six miles over the prairie to school. As a young man he assisted his father upon the home farm, remaining there until about 16 years of age, when he began working by the month as a farm hand in Carthage township. During the Mormon troubles Mr. Kimbrough joined the forces that moved on Nauvoo and was in the attack on that place. His recollection of that exciting period was vivid and his experience formed the basis of an article published in The Republican several years ago. In 1853, he crossed the plains to California, attracted by the gold excitement there, journeying with horses and ox teams, the party numbering six men who had three teams. They were about five and a half months in making the trip and Mr. Kimbrough remained in California for two years, his wife and two children spending that time in Hancock county. As he was in limited financial circumstances upon his arrival he began operating a threshing machine at $5 per day. He was thus employed during the fall, after which he drove cattle across the country to the market and was thus engaged until he returned to Illinois. He had made his way to California with the idea of mining but he did not spend a day in the mines, being well satisfied with the work which came to him and the money which he obtained thereby. Following his return to Illinois in 1855, he bought a farm southeast of Carthage in Carthage township comprising sixty acres. Upon this he made his home for twelve years, after which he sold the place and purchased a farm on section 11, Carthage township. A few years ago he came to Carthage and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Fletcher. In July, 1847, Mr. Kimbrough was married to Miss Elizabeth Dale, who was born in Woodford county, Ky., a daughter of Lunsford and Fanny (Boston) Dale, natives of Woodford county, whence they came to Illinois, settling in Morgan county. After some time they came to Hancock county in 1846 and located in Carthage township. Nine children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Kimbrough, James, who for many years has been a railroad conductor and resides in Denver, Colo., Sarah Frances is the wife of Jefferson Koontz, Frank, a farmer of Carthage township, Thomas, a resident farmer of Iowa, Etta, the deceased wife of Ralph Sowers, and Elizabeth, the wife of Luther Earls, of Carthage, Fannie, the wife of Wadsworth Earls, and Abba M. Malinda Kimbrough, the fourth of the family is the wife of Roy Fletcher, of Carthage. Julia Kimbrough is the widow of Thomas Ervin, George, a railroad fireman on Colorado & Southern, of Denver, Colo., Nellie Ann, is the wife of Henry Freshman, Hannibal, Mo. Thomas died at the age of 31 years, and Wm. L., of Carthage township. Mr. Kimbrough was a democrat in politics but never cared for office. He saw many changes and improvements made in the country which in his boyhood days was a vast wild prairie, ever which roamed herds of deer and other wild animals. He saw the raw and unbroken prairie land transformed into rich fertile farms and has done his full share to make the county what it is todayone of the richest and most productive farming districts of this great state. His life has been a busy one, yet he found time to travel extensively through the country and acquaint himself with his native land. Through persistent effort and industry he won success and carefully reared his family so that they have become prominent and influential members of society.

Kimbrough was born four miles east of Carthage, Oct. 27, 1852, and passed away at his home in Elvaston, Jan. 12, 1931, at the age of 78 years, 2 months and 16 days. His parents were Wm. R. and Elizabeth Dale Kimbrough. He was married Dec. 28, 1874, to Mary A. Butler. To this union three sons were born, one son, Jesse, preceding him in death.

During the years of Mr. Kimbrough's illness, Mrs. Kimbrough was with him constantly and did all she could to help and cheer him. Her devotion had no limit. Truly it can be said of Mr. Kimbrough that he reached the end of a well traveled roadway and back of him are the mile posts that measured the years of a truly honorable and well spent life. "We are building every day, In a good or evil way, And the structure a sit grows, Will our inmost self disclose, Till in every arch and line All our faults and failings shine: It may grow a castle grand Or a wreck upon the sand. Build it well whate'er you do, Build it straight and strong and true, Build it clean and high and broad: Build it for the eye of God." Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Heller. Music by the male quartet. The casket bearers were members of the Knight Templars and were E. P. Cutler, John Helfrich, R. D. Denton, Arthur Thompson, Lee Siebenborn and Edgar Burner.

The angel of death passed over the home of David R. Kimbrough, two miles east of Carthage, on last Sunday morning, and the spirit of the wife winged its flight to the mysterious beyond. Never has THE REPUBLICAN been called upon to chronicle a more heart-breaking case of untimely death than the passing of our young friend. Ava May Boston was the daughter of Charles and Rowena Boston, of East Carthage, and was born in this township May 30, 1885. Her life was passed in this township, where she received a common school education, lacking but a few months of graduating from the Carthage high school. Home duties called her away before graduation. Her unwavering devotion and unselfish zeal made her almost indispensable in her home, and it was not surprising that Mr. Kimbrough recognized early in her those rare attributes that go to make up a perfect woman and a perfect home. On October 18, 1905, she was married to David R. Kimbrough, son of J. W. and Nancy Kimbrough, of this city, and went to housekeeping on the Harper farm, which they had rented. Dave was hard working, industrious and ambitious; May was loyal, loving and anxious to do her part. It was a big house, and there was lots of work for both of them. They worked hard, and nowhere on earth did love and peace and happiness exist more securely or more supreme than in this home, in the dawn of their married life. The future to them was filled with varicolored rainbows of promise and pleasant anticipations. But as the first year was drawing to a close and the fruit of their first harvest was near fruition, the gentle wife of those few busy months was stricken, and after a struggle with a succession of unforeseen bodily ills, and when the battle was nearly won, swiftly sank to rest as a tired child is wooed to slumber on its mother's breast. The end came as a shock to relatives and friends, and the agony of the bereaved young husband is not measured in the inexpressive language of the pen or tongue. Bowed in voiceless grief, he sits beside the extinguished ashes of his hearthstone and the vanished hopes of a life. And arms and hearts go out to this stricken one in consolation and sympathy. May's was an exceptional character sweet, loving, charitable, faithful, she was the idolized favorite of friends and relatives far and near. She was converted in special services conducted by Rev. J. Arthur Hurley at East Union school house during October, 1902, and united with the First Baptist church of this city the following November. She was an earnest and consecrated Christian and an ardent worker in the East Union Sunday school. She was one of those persons who radiates brightness and cheer and whose absence leave the greater void. The funeral services were held from the First Baptist church in this city yesterday at 11 a.m., conducted by Rev. J. Arthur Hurley, former pastor of the deceased, who was called here for the purpose, assisted by Rev. J. F. Young of the Presbyterian church. Doctor Hurley's sermon was strong and sympathetic and strengthening and was made more earnest by the affection he shared with the community for the deceased. The body was reverently and gently laid to rest in beautiful Moss Ridge cemetery to await the resurrection morn. The pall bearers were six of May's most personal friends: Jesse Law, Golden Allen, Edith Cutler, Jean Lewis, Forrest Harnest, Floy Davidson. The floral offering was expensive and profuse and the funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen in Carthage attesting to wide-spread affection with which the dead girl was held by the community. The following poem was read by Dr. Hurley at the service: / . . She is at rest,/ . . in God's own presence blest, Whom, while with us this day we loved to greet;/ . . Her birthdays o'er/ . . She counts the years no more; Time's footfall is not heard along the golden/ . . street./ . . That strange "new song"/ . . Amid a white-robed throng Is gushing from her harp in living tone;/ . . Her seraph voice/ . . Tuned only to rejoice Fleats upwards to the emerald-arched throne./ . . No passing cloud/ . . Her lovliness may shroud; The beauty of her youth may never fade;/ . . No line of care/ . . Her sealed brow may wear; The joy-gleam of her eye no dimness e'er may/ . . shade. / . .

Mr. Kimbrough has not felt well for several days and had not rested well that night. He had gone into the yard when the fatal seizure came upon him. Mr. Kimbrough was the son of Thomas and Minerva (Boston) Kimbrough and was born near Carthage, Nov. 9, 1861. Of his family there remains a brother, Thomas Kimbrough, of Boise, Idaho; a brother, Herbert, of Pulman, Wash., head of the piano department of the University of Washington; and a sister, Mrs. Laura Cutler, of Kansas City. Mrs. Henry Mapes, another sister, preceeded him in death May 26, 1922, just a month prior to his death. Mr. Kimbrough had a very interesting career. He went to Idaho when a young man and took over a ranch on which he raised cattle. His partner was an Englishman whose sister, Miss Alice Womack, became Mr. Kimbrough's wife at Bellville, Idaho, in 1888. When Mr. Kimbrough's children reached school age, there were no schools near them, so he decided to bring his family to Illinois, which he did about twenty-three years ago. He made the arrangement with Mr. Womack that if he would ship him fifty calves a year to Kansas City for a term of years, he would quit claim his share of the ranch to him. This contract was carried out to their mutual financial advantage. When Mr. Kimbrough came back to Illinois he bought the Frank Austin place, which has since been his home, adding to the property until he owned 240 acres. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Kimbrough, Mrs. Denna Way, of Parkvale, Oregon; Mrs. Hester Koontz and Granville Kimbrough, of Clovis, Calif.; Mrs. Forrest Yetter, of Kansas City, Kas.; Hugh and Bertrice at home. Stella and Guy preceded their father in death. Mr. Kimbrough was a good man, a good business man and a wise and loving father and a devoted husband. His life snuffed out in its prime, he leaves the memory of honest toil and good deeds, and the heritage of a fine family and an unclouded name. As the children from Idaho and California are expected, plans for the funeral will not be completed until the hour of their arrival is known. The interment will take place in the cemetery east of the home at the site of the former old brick church. ----------------------- The Carthage Republican Carthage, Illinois Wednesday June 24, 1942 Page 7 Columns 2 TWENTY YEARS AGO Asa A.
