Surnames: Wineland Sayer Leaf Metzgar Phillips Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Th.2ADI/2123 Message Board Post: Evelyn W. Sayer. Born Evelyn Earle Wineland October 25, 1921 to Anna and Burr Wineland in Garrett, Indiana. Died peacefully at home in Shorewood, Minnesota November 6, 2004, at the age of 83. Preceded in death by loving husband, George; her parents; and a child, Girard. Survived by 13 children: Kathy, George III (Annelies), Scott (Ellen), John (Carole), Sue Leaf (Jim), Pat, Jim, Tom (Holly), Brian Joseph, Bob, Elizabeth, Ginny Metzgar (Mark) and Laurie Phillips (Mick); 28 grandchildren; & her brother, Joe. Evelyn grew up on a farm near Kendallville, IN and was an outstanding student, winning interscholastic competitions in Latin and geometry. She graduated from the Wesley Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago as a registered nurse. On December 26, 1943 she married George W. Sayer and embarked on her vocation as a devoted wife and mother. Mom became the bedrock on which a family could grow and flourish. Her strong faith, diverse talents, quiet strength and unending e! nergy enabled her to be the mother on whom every child could depend. Most of all, her capacity for unquestioning love and understanding provided her children with the tools they would need throughout their lives. When the last of her children went off to college, Evelyn finally had time to devote to a special talent, needlepoint. Her exquisite work drew widespread attention and she established the local chapter of the American Needlework Guild. She also served many years as the vice-president of the national organization and won many ribbons at its needlework conventions. In 1978, her 13-figure needlework creche won the top three awards at the international exhibit hosted by Princess Grace in Monaco. Thereafter she continued doing special projects, many as lasting remembrances for her 28 grandchildren. The family expresses special thanks to Dr. Loren Bosmans for the compassionate and skilled care he provided these last years. Mass of the Christian Burial Wed. Nov. 10, 2004 ! at 11 AM, St. Therese Catholic Church, 18323 Minnetonka Blvd., Deephav en, MN (952-473-4422). Luncheon immediately following the Mass. Private interment.

Last weekend I was visiting the area and found a small newspaper article on my Great Great Grandfather, William Ice. The article was dated Friday, November 26, 1897 from the Waterloo Press Wm Ice of Auburn, while working in the woods in Jackson township, last Thursday pm had the misfortune to be struck on the head by a falling limb, which caused his death in two hours. He was in the employ of the Auburn Hoop Factory, and under fifty years, leaving a large family in meager circumstances. It also listed that his will was: Probate order book P 267 (dated Mar 1901-1903) I have yet to find this will. Also what was the Hoop Factory?

Charles M. TenEyck, born 3 Apr 1858, near Blissfield, Michigaqn, son of Albert TenEyck. Charles had a sister and a half brother, Hattie (TenEyck) Bowen of Ingersoll, Canada and Frank of Jackson, Michigan. Charles spent his early boyhood at Hudson, Michigan and graduated form Hudson High School. Charles maried Nina Holmes, 24 Aug 1881. From Hudson, Michigan, they moved to Hillsdale, Michigan for about five years, before coming to Auburn. He was employed for several years at the Zimmerman Carriage factory in Auburn. In 1897 he left the factory work to go into the Florist business. Charles and son, Sherburn were in the Florist business forty years in Auburn. To this union were born three children; Bessie, born in Hillsdale, Michigan, died young; Marie born in Auburn, IN, maried Wallace Hursh. Sherburn born in Hillsdale, Michigan. Nina was a member of the Pythian Sisters and W.B. A. Lodge. They were both members of the Auburn Methodist Episcopal Church. Charles died 18 Sep 1938 and Nina died in 1939, both are buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery. Don't know how he got the name of Sherburn, or what the H. stands for except his son was named Jack Harraid TenEyck. Sherburn was in the florist business with his father (Charles)for forty years. Some time later his granddaughter Jacowen Arlee (TenEyck) Smith, started the florist business again, several years ago she retired. And the business is know longer in the family altho it is still listed under the TenEyck name. --- dbonnell@frii.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Surnames: Rupp, > Hersh,Hursh,Sanxter,Strauss,Hughes,Bash,Ten Eyck > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Th.2ADI/2122 > > Message Board Post: > > Was there a Ten Eyck family in Auburn, DeKalb Co.IN > which owned, operated a floral shop?

I thought list members might be interested in these items. The first is a website where there is much information about Shakers. The second is a novel that I once read and thoroughly enjoyed. Sandy Clauser Culp CLAUSER, WATT, PENNY, GILL, KLINE, BRANDON http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/grd/resguides/shaker/print.html The Believers by Janice Holt Giles. New York: Houghton-Mifflin, 1957. 302 pages. This is a novel about the Shakers who settled in Kentucky. It illuminates the problems of religious fanaticism, particularly what a pain it is for a woman to be married to a religious fanatic.

Joseph and Mary had three children- George F., Nancy E. and Willard F. Joseph and Mary were born and married in Ashland Co, Ohio then moved to Iowa where the three children were born. In 1870 they moved to DeKalb/Allen Co, Indiana where they remained. Nancy married H.C. Bishop in 1875 and moved to Kansas. Nancy is my paternal great grandmother. Her brothers, George and Willard remained in Garrett and St Joe, DeKalb Co, Indiana. I believe this George Metcalf is my great grandmother's family. I have just discovered my Metcalf family line and would like to connect with any family from Nancy's brothers. I would really appreciate any information, if you would share. Look forward to hearing from you. Raye rls@opusnet.com

Why couldn't this be a Catholic idea? Mary was "mother of God." By the way, there were plenty of married Shakers - the converts. The Shakers took in destitute families who later decided to stay or leave with no pressure. You did have to live their way while you were in their settlement, but it was a kind and gentle thing from my understanding. Janet

Just a thought.I don't know about ya'll,but I'm sure glad that I don't belong to that religion !!!!!!! Hey,it was just a thought !!!

Regarding the term "Benevolent Mother" I can not say that that is Ann Lee of the Quakers. She was called "Mother Ann" though. Mother Ann only had four children who all died young. A quote from "The Story of the Shakers". "To Ann Lee sex was sinful, the root of all trouble, and she thought herself punished for her own sexual experience by the early deaths of all four of her children. " Regarding her husband "---he left her for a woman of the streets, because Ann still denied him the pleasures of marriage." Many people were married who joined the religion. They were no longer able to live as man and wife after joining.

The Shaker faith was started by Mother Ann. She was their "patron Saint" you might say, and many of their hymns and prayer were to her or about her. Pherhaps she was the Benevolent Mother of the Will you speak of. Steve
