He was the eleventh of fourteen children, six sons and eight daughters, born to William H. and Mary A.

History Of Rush County Indiana 1888 Brant & Fuller Surnames In This Biography are: Sexton, Pugh, Stewart, Irvin, Hubbard, Warner, Mauzy, McMahan, Hunt, Bell, Woolen, Wright, New, LEONIDAS SEXTON was born May 19, 1827, at Rushville, Ind, and was the son of Horatio G. Sexton, who was a native of Massachusetts, and emigrated to the west in the year 1818 or 1819. His mother’s maiden name was Hannah Pugh; she was of Welsh extraction on the paternal side of the family. Leonidas Sexton education was begun in the primitive schools of his native town. In 1842, he, with several other boys of his age, was placed in a Latin school, taught by the Rev. D. M. Stewart, at his private residence in Rushville. His primary education having been deficient, and not being prepared to begin a collegiate course, he entered the primary department of Hanover College in the fall of 1843. After remaining there one term, he returned to his home for the winter, where he remained until the spring of 1844, when he was placed as a pupil in Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio, where he stayed through the Freshman year, and made rapid progress. He, however, became dissatisfied with his instructors, and, in company with John R. Irvin, of Ohio, went to Jefferson College, at Cannonsburg, Pa. In this college he exhibited some. of the adroitness which, in after years, characterized, him as a lawyer. In changing from Miami University to Jefferson College, he entered the junior class, thus skipping the sophomore year. He graduated from this college in June, 1847, and in the winter of the same year was placed on contest by the Franklin Literary Society, as Essayist, and won the prize. He was very popular with the boys, as well as the professors, of the college. The class with which he graduated consisted of sixty members: twelve afterward became lawyers; twenty-four, ministers and teachers; and the remainder chose other occupations and professions. All through his college course, Mr. Sexton’s predilection was toward law as his profession, but having misgivings as to his ability to become an extemporaneous speaker, he hesitated as to his chose. After returning home, he at once entered his father’s office as a student of medicine. After studying Bell’s Anatomy for some time, he indignantly cast it aside and took up Blackstone in its place. He entered with great zeal upon the study of law (in the office of Judge A. W. Hubbard, in the latter part of 1847,) in which he afterward became so distinguished. The following winter he attended lectures in the law school at Cincinnati, Ohio. As soon as his professional education was completed, he opened a law office n Rushville, but business not coming in as fast as his ardent nature desired, he changed his location to Kokomo, Ind. After a very short stay there, he “pulled up stakes” and returned to the place of his nativity. Here he entered into partnership with his former preceptor, A. W. Hubbard, from which time he grew rapidly in favor as a lawyer, and became a man of prominence at the Bar. On the first of September, 1851, he was married to Miss Lydia A. Warner, daughter of John Warner, who resided at Hatfield, Mass. Miss Warner was one of the cheeriest of women, and made her home one of sunshine and happiness. They had three daughters, two of whom yet survive: Mrs. Z. E. Mauzy and Mrs. S. W. McMahan. In the autumn of 1856, Mrs. Sexton was called to rest, leaving a home desolate. November 2, 1858, Mr. Sexton was married to a most estimable lady of his own town, Miss Anna Hunt, who was born near Paducah, Ky., October 9, 1836. She was the daughter of James and Sarah (Bell) Hunt, natives of Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively. They had four children, two sons and two daughters only one of whom, Gates, a son, yet survives. He is a lawyer and newspaperman in Rushville and lives with his mother. Mr. Sexton died at Parsons, Kas, after a brief illness, whilst on a visit to friends, July 4., 1880. His first political fight was for a seat in the Legislature of Indiana, in 1856, which he successfully contested. He was elected a member of the Forty-fifth Congress, over L. J. Woolen and William L. Wright, but was defeated for the Forty-sixth Congress by Jeptha D. New. Mr. Sexton had the honor of being the only native-born Representative in Congress that Rush County ever produced. Socially, he was a man of many acquaintances, and almost every man was his friend who was his acquaintance. He was a very close student, and gave his extra time to books until his political life began. He occupied high and exalted positions in both the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities. He was elected Lieutenant Governor, being the only one elected on the Republican ticket. Mr. Sexton had a genial nature, a kind heart, a benevolent disposition and a public-spirited mind. In the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member, he always gave liberally, and was much concerned for its prosperity and usefulness. He was a zealous worker in the Sunday School, and when at home never missed either the Sunday School or public service. Few men of his age attained so much distinction. No man of Rush County has equaled him.

History Of Rush County Indiana 1888 Brant & Fuller Surnames In This Biography are: SEXTON, Cruikshank, Pugh, Cramer, DR. HORATIO GATES SEXTON was born in Wilbraham, Mass., January 21, 1796, and was the son of David Sexton, of that city. We are in possession of but few facts or incidents of his life prior to his emigration to the Western States. He had but few opportunities for education in early life, but being fond of books he gradually grew into a taste for literature and professional learning. He came west in the capacity of a teacher, without fortune, friends or home; possessed as he was of an indomitable energy and an iron will, he sought his fortune in the then new country; in connection with teaching, he pursued the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. Cruikshank, of Harrison, Ohio; for his professional, as well as his literary education, he had to rely solely upon his own efforts; consequently, what he did was done well; about the year 1820, he went to Springboro, Warren County, Ohio, and located for the practice of his profession. During his sojourn at this place, he courted and married a Quaker girl, Hannah Pugh by name, who, with her husband, removed to Rushville, Ind., in the rear 1822. Twelve children, five of whom, Marshall, Rachel, Oliver, Sarah and Anna, still live, blessed this marriage. His second marriage was to Lucretia Cramer, of New York, and to this marriage three children were born, Cramer Sexton of Indianapolis being the only survivor. Dr. Sexton was amongst the very first physicians to locate in the place, which at this early date had but two years of life; it was all in the mud and brush, no roads, no houses, but the most primitive sort of cabins, and no heritage for its settlers but hard work and a scanty living; it took brave hearts to face such a prospect of life; but Dr. Sexton had the bravery and the will to pitch his tent under these mast inauspicious circumstances; and the same energy and application to business which had impelled him to seek a home in the west won for him distinction and success in his profession and good name in his citizenship; forty-five years of professional toil and self-denial won for him a fortune and a competency second to no one in the county; his professional career was almost begun and ended in Rush County; he was a devotee to medicine, always keeping abreast of the times in the advancements made in his departments of science; he never let anything swerve him, from the path of professional duty. Political distinction was at his bidding; lucrative offices were his at the asking, but all were refused that he might be devoted to his business: consequently he never held or sought a public office; he was a man pronounced in his opinions, political, religious and otherwise, but was never a bigot; his religious views and connections were with the Presbyterian Church, and he was one of the founders and most liberal supporters of the Church of that denomination in Rushville; was often solicited to become a Ruling Elder in the body and as often refused to be ordained to the office; he was for a great many years the teacher of the Bible class in the Sunday School, and was scarcely ever absent from his post of duty; many men now of mature years can testify to his skill and devotion as a teacher of the Bible; he was also a prominent man in the Masonic Fraternity; he was one of the earliest members of the American Medical Association, also of the Indiana State Medical Society, and was for a long series of years immediately preceding his death, the President of Rush County Christian and friend; as a physician, he was patient, toiling, attentive and conscientiously devoted to the care of the sick who came under his kindly ministrations; he loved his work and was never so happy as when busy at it, even keeping it up for years, when, physically, he was really not able to perform the hardships; but he always said he wished to die with the harness on. As a Christian he was devout, quiet and unostentatious; he loved his Church and contributed freely of his means to support it, and gave freely of his counsels for its advancement; he was always in his place in the house of worship, except when kept away by the most urgent business; he made no display of his piety, but was constant in his devotion to the cause of his Master; when laid upon the bed which proved to be the last one, his religious emotions became much more pronounced, and his piety which bad been quiet, now became lively, and his religious sentiments which had been tranquil and serene, became joyous and outspoken. He died June 13, 1865, full of honor, full of years and full of hopes of the religion he professed.

Rachel ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [INDIANA] Beck, Morris, Morrison, Anderson, Coblentz, Utter, This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Beck, Morris, Morrison, Anderson, Coblentz, Utter, Flavius J. Beck, M. D. Old and prominent Indiana families of military repute are represented in the ancestry of one of the leading medical practitioners of Bartholomew County, Dr. Flavius J. Beck, physician and surgeon at Columbus, coroner of Bartholomew County, and formerly for twenty years health officer of Hartsville. During his long and active career he has won honor and distinction in his profession and at the same time has been a contributing factor to the success of many movements, which have made for development, progress, higher morality and better citizenship. Doctor Beck was born at Newbern, Bartholomew County, Indiana, March 3, 1863, and is a son of Dr. William H. and Sarah A. (Morris) Beck, and a grandson of Maj. Samuel Beck and John Morris, Indiana pioneers. Maj. Samuel Beck settled in Indiana in 1816, on a land grant given him by the United States Government for his services as a soldier during the Black Hawk war, this property being situated in the southeastern –part of Columbus Township, Bartholomew County, where he became an extensive farmer and a citizen who was held in great respect and esteem. He married Elizabeth Morrison, who was a native of Ireland. Dr. William H. Beck, the father of Dr. Flavius J. Beck, was born in Bartholomew County, where he received a thorough medical training, and for many years stood at the top of his profession. During the War Between the States he served as surgeon of the One Hundred and Forty-fifth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and thereafter continued the practice of medicine in Indiana as long as he lived. He was a member of the county, state and national medical bodies and a physician who always was a strict observer of professional ethics and practice. Dr. Flavius J. Beck was the eldest of his parents’ eight children, all of whom had educational and social advantages. He attended the public schools of Newbern and in 1880 was graduated from Hartsville College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and three years later received the degree of Master of Arts from the same institution. For a time he attended the Ohio Medical College, and in 1890 was graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine, at Louisville, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Doctor Beck entered into medical practice at Hartsville in 1890, and continued there until 1918, when he enlisted for service during the World war, in the United States Medical Corps, was given a captain’s commission, and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and thence to Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, for three months of military training. He finally went to Camp Humphrey’s, Virginia, and was assigned to the Second Engineers, with which contingent he remained until receiving his honorable discharge in May, 1919. In June of that year he received his commission as major in the Medical Reserve Corps. Doctor Beck continued to reside and. practice for a time at Hartsville, going then to Indianapolis, and in 1925 established his residence and practice at Columbus, and to the climatic conditions and comfortable surroundings here he attributes, in large measure, the building up of his own health, which years of too close devotion to his professional duties had somewhat impaired. Doctor Beck married Miss Margaret E. Anderson, daughter of Silas F. and Sophia J. (Coblentz) Anderson, pioneer settlers of Bartholomew County from New Jersey. They have one daughter, Gertrude, who is the wife of Corp. Lloyd B. Utter, a veteran of the World war who served in Battery D, One Hundred and Thirty-ninth U. S. Field Artillery, and now occupies a public office at Columbus. Doctor Beck has always been interested as a good citizen in county politics, and has served honorably in such offices as coroner and health officer. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and is a member of the Bartholomew County Medical Society, the Indiana Medical Society and the American Medical Association. His modernly equipped offices are situated at 1021 Washington Street. ==== INDIANA Mailing List ==== Firstmom's Genealogy Resources - Indiana http://khuish.tripod.com/indiana.htm ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

History Of Rush County Indiana 1888 Brant & Fuller Surnames In This Biography are: PUNTENNEY, Russell, Van Buskirk, McKee, Ross GEORGE H. PUNTENNEY, editor, was born in Rush County, March 26, 1832. His parents were Joseph and Martha (Russell) Puntenney, who came from Adams County, Ohio, and were among the early settlers in this county. Mr. Puntenney passed his boy- hood and early manhood on the farm near Yienna. He improved such advantages for mental development as came within his reach. The common schools of that day offered little to the aspiring young man, but what they had to give he accepted, and then looked beyond them. D. R. Van Buskirk was then teaching a select school at Fairview; there was an academy at Fayetteville, and one at Richland. To all of these places Mr. Puntenney went to enlarge his views and educate himself. His work in this direction was interrupted by a call to arms. Sumter had been fired on end volunteers were wanted. Many of the young men in the Academy at Richland enlisted. Their teacher, John McKee, became their Captain. They formed Company K of the Thirty-seventh Indiana Volunteers, and in this Company the subject of this sketch gave three years to the service of his country, ranking as Sergeant, Orderly Sergeant and Sergeant Major. In 1866, he commenced the study of law, was admitted to practice in the following year, and for some years devoted himself to that profession with honor and profit. He enjoys the distinction of having been the first Mayor of Rushville, after its incorporation as a city. In 1873, he became editor-in-chief of the Rushville Jacksonian, and to the present time the readers of that paper continue to profit by the versatility of his genius. In October, 1868, he was united in marriage to Mary Josephine Ross, of Rushville.
