His wife, Claire, is from Benton, Marshall Co., KY area and so when Eldon started having lung/respiratory issues - they moved to Symsonia so he could breathe easier. Oval was b. 27 Nov 1894 (I believe Moores Prairie Twp.), Jefferson Co., IL; she moved with her parents and sister to Custer/Doss area (near Salem), Dent Co., MO about 1903 after another brother and sister of theirs had died very young (I believe they are buried at Liberty-Ridlin Cem., NTwp., FCI); there she met a full -blooded German, Carl born & raised in southeast MN, and married him on 12 Mar 1916 at Custer, Dent Co., MO. They moved to Havre, MT to farm - but Oval was used to a much warmer climate, so they eventually followed the combines down to Colorado.

FCI/JCI Researchers Need your help. Mary Z. submitted a probate record on Nancy Harris which got me digging into the children of Morgan Harris and Nancy (??) According to 1850 JCI census, Morgan and Nancy had a son named Samuel who was age 11 and born in Indiana (IA does not mean Iowa as we know it today) http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iljeffer/census/image/1850/1850IL01100384a.gif There are no marriages in JCI for Samuel Harris but I did find one in FCI For Samuel and Elizabeth Sullivan and what looks like the first marriage for Elizabeth Goff to Abel Sullivan. Elizabeth would have been 20 when this 1st marriage took place and age 24 when the 2nd marriage took place.

Mrs. HARRIS was often referred to as the "grand old woman" of her community, had reached the unusually old age of 95 years. She spent her entire life in the same locality and died within two and a half miles of her birthplace. Despite this fact, she had become known to scores of people as a woman of true exemplary characteristics and was admired and respected by all. Mrs. HARRIS' husband died 28 years ago and her only living relative is a son, Joe HARRIS, with whom she had made her home in recent years. She was the last member of her family, all brothers and sisters of a once prominent family having died several years ago. There are seven grandchildren, however. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at New Hope Church. Rev. J. R. McDUFFIE of Ewing will be in charge and interment will be made in the New Hope Cemetery. Source: Mt.

Bellah Scholarship Fund at Texas Wesleyan University. Donald W. Bellah was born June 22, 1915, in Omaha, Ill., to Russell Woodrow and Nelle Hancock Bellah. He retired from Texas Wesleyan in 1981 after 40 years on the faculty. He began his teaching career as a senior at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he received both his bachelors and masters of music degrees. On completion of his graduate studies in 1940, he joined the Texas Wesleyan faculty as professor of organ and chairman of the division of fine arts. His civilian teaching was interrupted by four years of naval service in World War II, during which he taught at the Navy School of Music in Washington, D.C., before his honorable discharge in 1945. On his return to Wesleyan, he renewed his work to develop and expand the fine arts curriculum. He recruited to the faculty nationally recognized piano professor George Anson, his former teacher at Illinois Wesleyan. In 1950, Donald Bellah was instrumental in securing accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Music and in establishing Wesleyan's Bachelor of Music degree program. In 1955, he produced "Finian's Rainbow," the first production in what has become an annual tradition of Broadway musicals showcasing the talents of Wesleyan students and faculty. He pursued doctoral studies at Indiana University and received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from John Brown University in 1960. When the academic structure of Texas Wesleyan was reorganized in 1979, Donald Bellah was named dean of the School of Fine Arts. During his long career, Donald Bellah served his university and community in many ways. He was a member of the boards of the Fort Worth Symphony, Fort Worth Opera and the Fort Worth Civic Music Association. He was a Fellow of the General Education Board and served as president of both Fort Worth Music Teachers Association and the Texas Music Teachers Association. Donald Bellah was an evaluation visitor for the National Association of Schools of Music and served as Province Governor of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. For his work as a teacher, he received from Wesleyan students the Golden Rule Award and from his fellow faculty members the Faculty Recognition Award. He was also honored as Outstanding Educator of American in 1971 and as Texas Music Teacher of the Year in 1975. Donald Bellah was a member of the American Guild of Organist and served as organist of Polytechnic United Methodist Church beginning in 1953. He traveled extensively before and after retirement, but his great passion in life was cultivating orchids in his large backyard greenhouse. Donald Bellah leaves behind him generations of former students who thank him for being a teacher and a friend. Survivors: Brother, Joseph R. Bellah and wife, Nan of Mount Vernon, Ill.

Evertt (sic) PIERCE 6 Step Son Jimmie " 3 & 5/12 Son Fredie " 4/12 Son *Note: PLC- Although Jimmie & Fredie are listed as "PIERCE" that may be in error. I think they are both sons of James Allbert & Drusla Jane (Kelley)(Eaton)(Pierce) HAWKINS. James Kelley HAWKINS obit (Mt.Vernon Register News, 1983, Jefferson Co. IL. Obituaries-iljeffer/obits/hawkins) b. 05 Sept. 1927, Vermillion Co. s/o James Albert HAWKINS & Drusla Jane (KELLEY) HAWKINS. Sister Alene OWENS, two brothers: Everett PIERCE & Fred HAWKINS. I have not located a marriage record for Drusla Jane KELLEY & a PIERCE. Interesting that there is another Everett L. PIERCE in Champaign Co. IL. in 1930 with a son, Everett, age 5. Pat L.

Betty, I think his mother is Drusia Jane KELLEY. Drusia 1st. married Ernest Leroy EATON & they had Aline/Alene EATON FOWLER. I think Drusla Jane married (2nd). a PIERCE & they had Everett L. "Bud" PIERCE. Drusla/Drusia Jane KELLEY married (3rd) James Albert HAWKINS. They had James Kelley HAWKINS who married Martha Elizabeth SETTLE, (parents of Shirley (Bruce) JOHNSTON) & Rick & Jim HAWKINS.James Albert & Drusia J. HAWKINS are buried in Kirk Cemetery. Later tonight or tomorrow I will e-mail a family group sheet to you. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2013 9:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ILJEFFER] PIERCE Query Johnnie Pierce is his dad, do not know his mother, Everett has half brothers and sisters ________________________________ From: Pat Corona <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2013 9:28 PM Subject: [ILJEFFER] PIERCE Query Does anyone know the name of the father of Everett “Bud” PIERCE, b. 06 July 1924, IL.
