Bloomington (IN) Telephone, Jan 10, 1919, p. 1. 2 TO 21 YEARS FOR MURDER Woman Who Killed Walter Foster, Former Resident The woman who killed Walter Foster, a former resident here but then of Linton, must serve a long term in prison. A dispatch from Bloomfield gives the following details of the trial: "After deliberating since 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, a jury in the Greene County Circuit Court here today returned a verdict of manslaughter in the case of Edith Lewis McCallester of Bloomfield who shot and killed Walter Foster of Linton on the night of October 15. The tragedy occurred about midnight, a mile west of Bloomfield, when the two were out for an automobile ride. Her plea was self-defense. "According to her story, Foster drew his revolved, gave her a certain length of time in which to live, and told her to write down her last wishes, which she did. While he was preparing a cigarette, she snatched the gun from his hand and shot him and then walked back to her father's home in Bloomfield. The defendant is 26 years old and Foster was 39. He left a widow and several children. The woman will receive sentence of 2 to 21 years in the woman's prison in Indianapolis."

Verna MITCHELL married William E. DEAN, 05 JUL 1918, in Vigo County, Indiana. It states it was the first marriage for both of them. Verna later married Delmar SPENCER and had at least four children. William was the s/o Wm. E. and Ella MC BRIDE DEAN... and was serving in the military in Plainfield, Miss. Is this the same DEAN family?The groom's father, Wm. E. (Sr.?), was deceased at the time and the mother of the groom was then named as Ella SHEPHERD. I'm wondering if Verna and Wm. divorced or whether he died soon and she remarried. I was unaware of this union! Verna was the d/o Theo and Sallie HUBBARD MITCHELL of Linton, Indiana.

I will be in South Bend, Indiana in May. I will probably not have enough time to head down to Greene County but would like to know if there are resources in South Bend that I can check into for info from Greene County. My grandmother, Nellie Odessa Craft was born 2/5/1883, in Cass Twp, Greene, In. Although she and her parents moved to Colorado, I believe there are still cousins in Indiana. My grandmother had many half siblings from the two previous marriages of her parents. Her father, Benjamin Frank(lin) Craft's first wife was Elizabeth Miller and they had sons John R., Henry A. and Jesse W. The only one of these sons I have found anything on is Jesse. He married Nellie C. Deck on March 25, 1894 in Greene Co. and they had at least two children, Mary D. Craft and Oliver C. Craft. The other two sons have been elusive. My grandmother's mother, Cynthia K. Close, was married first to William J. Pebbles on December 23, 1861 and they had the following children. Charles Myron Pebbles, May 21, 1862, d. 9/5/1923 in Bargersville. M. Emma Jane Pate and had 10 children: Vearl Dean Pebbles, 3/27/1891, Myron Orville Pebbles, 8/29/1893, Chester Arthur Pebbles, 1895, Kenneth Pebbles, 1898, Minnie Doris Pebbles, 7/23/1900, Margaret Pebbles, 5/21/1902, Grace May Pebbles, 2/14/1904, Harvey Denzil Pebbles, 3/17/1906, Annis Lorene Pebbles, 5/8/1908 and Cecil Wayne Pebbles, 8/27/1910. Anna Della Pebbles Slinkard, November 27, 1864, d. May 7, 1907 in Newberry. M. Henry Winiford Slinkard and had at least two children: Lelia Genevieve Slinkard, 6/7/1885 and Emil F. Slinkard, 8/5/1887. Hattie D. Pebbles, April 9, 1868, d. 8//23/1935 in Colorado. M. John Fitch Timme 7/16/1886 in Greene Co. Their children were: Horace C. Timme, 12/5/1888, Frank C. Timme, 7/26/1892, Ida Timme, 5/29/1895, Millard Sherwood Timme, 10/6/1897, William C. Timme, 10/11/1904 and Lucille Timme, 2/28/ 1908. Iva Grace Pebbles, January 30, 1876 d. January 26, 1916. M. Alva Ellis Hindman. Their children were: Glen D. Hindman, 7/4/1894, William R. Hindman, 10/18/1896, Geneva Ester Hindman, 9/13/1899, Leo Leslie Hindman, 5/30/1904, Marcella S. Hindman, 4/27/1905, Helen Lenora Hindman, 12/3/1908, Alva Arnold Hindman, 5/24/1911, and Leeman Hindman, 10/30/1913. I am especially interested in finding out about Iva Grace. She and my grandmother were closest in age and I have an autograph book which indicates that they were great friends as well as sisters. My grandmother was only 35 when she died so my mother, who was only 3, never got to know her. I have no source of recollections for her and very few tangibles. The autograph book, her high school graduation certificate, her marriage certificates to Harley Nickless and then to my grandfather, Warren Ray Wheatland and a couple of very bad pictures are about the only things I have to document my grandmother's life. I would love to know more. Perhaps there is a cousin still living who knew her or ??? Thanks for any help.

Sun. Feb. 24, 1918. GEORGE GRAY and his wife, FRANK, BLANCHE and BILL were here for dinner today. We certainly have some time together. Bur poor FRANK and the candy and apples I hope he isn't very sick tomorrow or I'll be to blame. We had plenty of music and singing and some pretty good eats. Took one picture but it won't be good as it was drizzling rain. The kids got lost coming out and came thru the worst dirt road. GALE was out again for awhile. Mon. Feb. 25, 1918. Oh! It's raining again all day. Sure, because I intended to take some pictures. Everybody has some news to report to me. Ha! I'm afraid I'm getting to be a secret Bureau of Information. We got off the last period today because the water supply would not come on and about ten minutes after we left, it came on again. Tues. Feb. 26, 1918. We ordered a new Chevrolet today and can get it any time within a few days. My! But I'm glad because we have wanted one for so long and we can have so much enjoyment from it. Papa called BOB (ROGERS) at Indianapolis to see if he liked the idea. Wed. Feb 27, 1918. Received a letter from LYONS [from BILL HENRY] today. This has been a busy day at BHS. Tonight I must study my Civics lesson. Thurs. Feb. 28, 1918. Mamma left for Indianapolis tonight. She is going to visit at ROXEY's (ROGERS) and do some shopping. GLADYS (ROGERS) is coming down from Fair Oaks tomorrow night so they can be together in the City. Received another letter from LYONS today. Ha! Fri. Mar. 1, 1918. Goody, this is Friday and no more school until Monday. Mamma and BOB won't be home until Sunday night, so dad, PAUL (ROGERS) and I will be alone. That means I am to be chief cook and dishwasher for a few days. Sat. Mar 2, 1918. The busiest day in the week. I have been busy all morning with the housework. Dad and I are going to town this afternoon to do some trading. BILL is coming out tonight. Sun. Mar. 3, 1918. Dad and I went to church at MT. ZION this morning and PAUL went up to EARL's. DEE called me a while ago and said CLEO and JACK were coming out to see me this afternoon. I have some more outline work to do in "Carlyle's Essay on Burns," that I must do. Mon. Mar. 4, 1918. Had just finished my outline work yesterday when MURL and his dad, UNCLE JIM and MR. WALK, from MORGANTOWN drove up in the car. They had not gone yet when CLEO and JACK came. BILL came about 7:00 and brought MR. ROLLISON and MR. GROUNDS out with him. We all had quite a nice time together. The folks came home last night from the city. Tues. Mar. 5, 1918. CLEO went to school with me yesterday afternoon. She was so glad to get back to school and see all her old schoolmates. She is working as a stenographer in her uncle's law office at VINCENNES now and enjoys her work so much. Wed. Mar. 6, 1918. Mamma got my graduation clothes at Indianapolis, three dresses, hose, trimmings and etc. She also purchased a suit for herself and some pretty living room rugs. We will have plenty of sewing to do now. Thurs. Mar. 7, 1918. Hurrah! Our car came yesterday, and the folks went to LINTON after it. BOB learned to drive it easily with a little practice. I received a nice letter from MRS. BAKER today. Fri. Mar. 8, 1918. DELLA said WARREN was in FRANCE yet and had written her to have me write him. JAMES had also arrived across safely and was drowned in the wrecked ships near IRELAND. Oh, yes, BILL and I received our summons to report at the Domestic Science Dept. on Mar. 12.

Sun. Feb 10, 1918. Papa, mamma, PAUL (ROGERS) and I are going to DEE's (ROGERS) for dinner today. Oh, yes, I forgot to say BILL (HENRY) called up from Bloomfield Friday night and said he's just got in from Chicago, where he'd gone from Indianapolis. My, but I was surprised because I thought he was still at Indianapolis. Instead, he'd come by Chicago to visit his aunt. Guess he decided home was the best place after all. Last night he told us all the news from the folks. Mon. Feb 11, 1918. The Seniors had a class meeting today and I decided to have a St. Valentine Party on Thursday evening. We are going to try and clean up the disgrace of the ill-fated Freshman party. Oh, yes, MISS WILLIAMS and MR. EDMONDSON were chosen by our class last week for our chaperones at parties hereafter. The vote for those two was unanimous. [line missing] when we had our class meeting. We like this new idea so much. For my part I think it is much nicer and only the proper thing to do. Tues. Feb 12, 1918. The great ABRAHAM LINCOLN's birthday. When we were in common school we always used to celebrate his birthday. Today he was not mentioned and I wonder why!? We are still planning big for our party. The committees are at work on decoration and eats. Wed. Feb 13, 1918. Received a letter this morning. BLANCHE, FRANK and we kids are planning some fun for tomorrow night. We've been having some pretty fair weather today. BLANCHE and I went up town at noon and saw CHUCK. I've got plenty to do tonight and some pressing besides. Thurs. Feb. 14, 1918. St. Valentine's Day! I am going to stay all night at UNCLE JIM's tonight but MERL isn't going to the party. We got off from the assembly two periods this afternoon and worked at the Domestic Science Dept, decorating. VELMA and I also settled the bills and straightened out the grocery order. Got a long distance call last night that someone would be in town this p.m. Fri. Feb.15, 1918. The party came off well last night. There were twenty-six present altogether and we had a nice time. Refreshments were cocoa, sweet pickles, marshmallows, two kinds of sandwitches. Eight guests were present and MISS WILLIAMS, MISS BAILY and MR. EDMONDSON. We played games and had some contests. Sat. Feb. 16, 1918. The Sophomores had a party at OLIVE (McCARTY)'s Thursday evening too. Yesterday morning we were all sleeping in Civics and everyone seemed to have on a funny spell and couldn't stop laughing at every little [missing] week that no Saturdays I should help with the work at home and Sundays weren't made for studying. Tues. Feb 19, 1918. We began practicing for chorus work to be given by the High School at the Big Patriotic Meeting Friday. We are learning, "Stars and Stripes Forever," now. MISS WILTROUT wants us to learn to sing, "Praise Ye, Jehovah!" and "hit it" when we come to a "praise." Wed. Feb. 20, 1918. Received a nice long letter this morning and will have to answer it tonight I suppose. We had chorus again today and are coming along nicely. Lessons are getting harder. BLANCHE and I put in a good part of the noon hour studying today. Thurs. Feb. 21, 1918. Tomorrow is WASHINGTON's birthday and we are going to have a big all day celebration in Bloomfield. Hurrah! We need something to wake up such a dead town. Had hours of work again this a.m. for half an hour, then this evening we took the last period for drilling. MISS WILTROUT called us "children" and asked us to please stand on both feet and not gaze around over the crowd. Ha! Oh, well. We're not such youngsters but I admit we act almost as bad anyway. Fri. Feb. 22, 1918. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. My, it seems nice not to have to go to school today. We are to report at 10:00 a.m. at Domestic Science rooms and again at 1:00 p.m. and march to the gathering. There is Farmer Institute here today, also Thursday. MR. HEATH's funeral is at our church this morning. We are off for school. Sat. Feb. 23, 1918. Yesterday was a big day but we were marched around so and up and down so many steps that I'm about all in today. There was a very, very large crowed in town. So many people I hadn't seen for ages it seems like a reunion almost. We almost made a grand failure of part of our singing but according to circumstances, as MISS WILTROUT said, we did very well. RUTH, and BILL, HELEN, BILL and I went to the show last night. It was a film of war pictures and was very interesting. Came home in the flivver. We received a $1,1786.58 check for our apples today.

Looking for information on Elizabeth Jane SKINNER b. ca1835 KY......d/o Clark SKINNER b. 1794 KY and Lucinda "Susanna" ? b. 1812 KY. Elizabeth came to Greene Co.IN with her parents from Garrard Co.KY ca 1851. They settled in Beech Creek Twp. I believe that she married Thomas WALKER there in 1851. Also believe that they divorced sometime in the 1860's. I have conflicting info from Census info on a Elizabeth SKINNER living in the household of Alfred Sims 1870, then I found an Elizabeth in the household of Jackson Sims, also Alfred Sims living here, but also found one with an Elizabeth living in the household of David BROWN. These were both for 1880 and all of them in Beech Creek Twp. and on all the census info she is listed as divorced, but the age's vary. Is there more than one Elizabeth SKINNER in Beech Creek Twp.???? In the last 2 census she is listed as House keeping, so could she have been working in both of these households and taken on both census readings? Any information is welcome.
