I am thinking who ever has the Charlotte TIMMONS/BOLTZ bible might have info on what happened to her first husband of 3 years, SOLOMON YOUNG my GR. Grandfather. He died in MO. where they were in 1860 census. She had his name put on her tombstone on top in 1908. Maybe someone in her 2nd marriage to ABRAHAM BOLTZ may know what happened to SOLOMON. Mr. Hamlin a relative of Boltz told me some things but doesnt know only what his GR. Aunt GRACE BOLTZ wrote. Indiana, BLOOMFIELD is where they lived and died.mjfivekids@aol.com

In these papers is information that may help uncover the true parents of Faitha Ann Uland Anderson. Her daughter-in-law, Mary Hunter Anderson, had told this information to her daughter who wrote it down, and later passed it on to her daughter, etc. In it Faitha's mother, Betsy(Elizabeth) Bingham is listed as being married to Jonas Uland, who died on the way to Indiana. Then a second marriage is listed to _____ Haynes(Haines), and Faitha was listed as the only child of this marriage. A 3rd marriage for Betsy Bingham is listed to James Buffalo, from which two children were born. I'd like to hear from anyone out there who may be connected to any of these marriages and may have information to share.

She was converted about five years ago, and all through her last sickness prayed and had the assurance that all was well with her soul. Last Sunday when some of her friends were gathering around her bed and sang for her, she joined her weakened voice in singing, “Oh Think of the Home Over There” and “The Sweet By and By”. On Monday she sank into a coma from which she never rallied. She said she was like the Apostle Paul, “I have fought a good fight, I have fi! nished my course, I have kept the faith”. Neath our eyes you faded slowly. Growing day-by-day more frail. Bearing sweetly all your suffering, Without a murmur or a wail. Day by day we sat and watched You slowly fade away, Yet in our hearts we hoped and prayed, That God would let you stay. A shadow rest upon our home, We miss your smiling face. Wherever we look, wherever we turn We’ll see you smiling face Oh, how we miss you darling, As you lie quietly asleep and at rest. But when we think of how you suffered, Then we knew that God knew best. Some sweet day we hope to me you In that heavenly land so fair; Where with Jesus and loved ones You’ll be waiting for us there. — CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness and sympathy, also the singers, flower girls, Jenkins & Sons, and Bro.
