A HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY'S WAYWARD CITIZENS. Early History of the Penitentiary-Names of Convicts, Date, Crime, When Discharge, or Date of Death and Many Other Items of Interest." [Transcribed by RLJ on December 8, 2007 from a digital photo of the original newspaper {photo attached} which was formerly kept by the Recorder of Greene County, Court House, Bloomfield, Indiana.] Through the kindness of John A. PATE, who formerly lived at Bloomfield, but is now Clerk of the Indiana State Prison South, we are enabled to give the readers of the News a history of all the convicts sent from Greene County to the State's prison at Jeffersonville, Indiana. The prison was established in 1822. It has not been the custom until recent years to record the particulars of the crime a prisoner was convicted of, hence the record history of the early convicts is very incomplete. Up to about 1820 all had to serve the full term of sentence. Since then we have had what is called a good time law, under which a convict can gain good time by good behavior. This good time may be taken from a convict as a punishment for bad conduct. Hence you will see why to the average reader it will appear that some do not serve their full sentence. The Penitentiary, as it was then called was completed and ready to receive convicts from the various counties of the State in the year 1822. The Governor appointed a gentleman whose name was WESTOVER as Superintendent or keeper of the prison. He held this position from 1822 to 1829. WESTOVER was afterward a soldier in the Mexican war and was killed at the massacre of CROCKETT and his army at the battle of the Alamo, Texas. The first man received in prison was James MILLER, from Crawford County, November 1, 1822, for passing counterfeit money; sentence two years.

I would tend to agree with Bob's assessment that she is the daughter of Elmer Lamb & Minnie Bridwell, first wife of Elmer. I did find a couple more pieces of info: The marriage of Epsy M. Lamb & Chancie W. Jackson is in the online index [Page 10, marriage098.pdf] for the 1920-1940 grouping. Accessing the actual record should confirm the parents of Epsy. Also, I found Epsy in the 1900 census, living with her grandparents. Details are: Census date: June 1, 1900; Enumeration date: June 7, 1900 Series T623, Roll 374, Page 78A, Dwelling 104, Family 106, Jackson Twp., East Precinct, ED 28, Lines 9-12 C. G.

Assuming the data is accurate, Epsy was born in Aug 1889 and Minnie died a month later in September 1889. Jerry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Lamb, 16, f, Granddaughter, single, IN, IN, IN The way I read this info (please correct me if I'm wrong) Alice Lamb (the first wife of Elmer) had only 1 child and she was Edna in the 1900 Census. In 1910, Alice has died and left Elmer with Edna (16) but who is 20 year old Epsy? Simply looking at it at face value, one would assume she was Elmer's 2nd daughter, but if so, where was she on the 1900 Census? I could use a little help identifying Epsy. Could she be a daughter of Hiram? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

HEROLD, well known citizen, was found dead in bed Friday morning, July 24, at the home of Mrs. Eugene HEROLD, where he resided. Heart trouble was the cause of his death. "Mr. HEROLD had not been well for some time, but had been down town the day before his death. "The night before he died he became worse at the supper table and a physician was called to attend him, and members of the family were with him until midnight, when they retired, as he seemed to be resting well." He was born in Clarkson, {Columbiana County,} Ohio, in 1862, and was therefore sixty-nine years of age. He resided for many years at Owensburg, and later removed to Switz City. He was the last of a family of five, and was a brother of the late deceased, O. F. HEROLD, of this place. He was in business at Martinsville for twenty-seven years with his brother, Eugene HEROLD, who died nine months ago. - Link to the Obituary of his father, Dr. Henry HEROLD, MD [1823PA-1911IN]: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/2473/mb.ashx - Link to the Obituary of his brother, Howard HEROLD [1861OH-1928IN]: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/2542/mb.ashx - Link to the Obituary of his brother, Otto F.

TOWNSEND." [Transcribed on December 2, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Thomas TOWNSEND, son of Harvey and Elizabeth (DAWSON) TOWNSEND, was born at Georgetown, {Beaver County,} Pennsylvania, April 1, 1861 and departed this life at his home in Taylor township, May 13, 1931, aged seventy years, one month and twelve days. He came to Indiana with his parents when a small lad and they located on a farm in Taylor Township, four miles south of Bloomfield. Here he lived with his brothers and sisters and mother until manhood, having lost his father when he was but nine years of age. On November 24, 1888, he was married to Hattie COCHRAN, daughter of James and Eliza COCHRAN. Five children were born to this union-four sons and one daughter. They are Marvel TOWNSEND, of Newberry; Beverly TOWNSEND, deceased; Rodney TOWNSEND, Indianapolis; Mrs. Goldie YORK, Newberry and Teddie TOWNSEND, at home. In 1910 he united with the United Brethren Church at Bethany, under the pastorate of Rev. Perry KEY, which membership he was faithful to the end. Tom, as all knew him best, was always ready to go to the aid of his neighbors and friends, believing in the Golden Rule, "Do Unto Others As You Would That They Should Do Unto You." Will make one honest, kind and good as neighbors ought to be. In his passing the community has lost one of its best citizens, and the family a very dear companion and father. He was stricken suddenly at noon on May 13, and passed away the same day at 11:35 p.m., passing as he often wished-without suffering and while at work. He was conscious during his last hours, and told his family and friends that it was the end, but that he was ready to go. All was done for him that medical skill and loving care of his wife and children could do to stem the hand of death, but it was the will of the Master that he should go, and their assistance was of no avail. Besides the children named above, his wife also survives; also ten grandchildren survive.

He was born in Ierland Aug. 1856 and was married to Mary KELSO before coming to America abt. 1882. Mary died in 1910 leaving small children that were scattered about since James could not care for them. I do not know of James death date but it is possible he died between 1920 - 1930 in Indiana. They had the following children: 1. James Jr. b. Dec. 1882 in OH, d. unknown 2. Mary Ann Fowler b. Aug. 1885 in AL, d. Nov. 1963 in OH. She married John Peter Huwig. (these are my gr. grandparents. 3. Martha Katherine b. Apr. 1888 OH, d. May 1960 TX. 4. Miriam (m) b. Jan 1891 in OH, d. unknown. 5. Henry b. Dec. 1892 in AL., d. unknown. 6. David, b. Jul. 1893 AL, d. unknown. 7. Robert, b. May 1895 in IN, d. Nov. 1971 in OH. 8. Isabella Elizabeth, b. Apr. 1897 in IN, d. Jan 1953. IN. (Martha and Isabella married brothers, last name of CURRANS). 9. Hugh, b. Dec. 1899 IN., d. unknown. 10. Elizabeth, b. Nov 1902, d. unknown. (Found in 1920 census records as living at a Catholic hospital listed as "inmate". I believe this is my great aunt that became a nun, but am not sure.) 11. Margaret, b. 1903, d. unknown 12. Grace, b. 1904, d. unknown. (found her in the 1920 census living with a foster family.) 13. William R., b. 1907, d. unknown. This family was found mostly in Greene Co. in the 1900, 1910 census records. However, my HUWIG'S (spelled HEWIG and other variances) were found in Co. Here is the info I have for them: Paul HUWIG/HOWICK/HEWIG, b. abt 1850 in Germany, d. Jul 1910 Greene Co. IN. Sons 1. John Peter, b. Oct. 1879 in OH, d. Apr. 1958 OH. Son 2. Frank, b. 1885 in OH, d. Sept. 1965 OH. Paul and his sons moved to IN after his wife passed abt. 1886. They had a daughter, but it appears she remained behind. I am assuming they went to IN to find work as coal miners. Any help is appreciated and anyone looking for this line are welcome to contact me. Thanks, Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

[Transcribed on December 1, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] The Bedford Mail of Friday June 5, had the following account regarding the death of a former Jackson Township citizen: "Daniel JACKSON, well known quarryman, passed away at his home in Avoca Wednesday, after a five month's illness. "Mr. JACKSON was born at Owensburg, May 16, 1864, making his age at the time of his passing sixty-seven years and twenty-seven days. He was the son of Jacob and Martha (ROLLINS) JACKSON. He was married in 1889 to Miss Eddie JOHNSON, who passed away thirty-four years ago. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Dora Ella FERGUSON, who survives. Other surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. Fannie PRICE, of Indian Springs, and son of Solsberry, by a first marriage; a step son, Verne FERGUSON, of Clay City; thirteen grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. Nancy SIMPSON, of Owensburg, and two brothers, Peter and Andrew JACKSON, of Owensburg. Mr. JACKSON had been a quarry worker for forty-seven years and was last employed as a machine runner in the quarries. He was a member of the Avoca Baptist Church, K. of P. Lodge at Bedford and Red Men at Oolitic. Funeral services were held from the home at Avoca Friday, June 5, at 9:30 a.m., and at the close of the service the funeral party left for Owensburg, where services were held at the Christian church at 11 a.m., with Rev. DYKES in charge, assisted by Rev. J. L. HATFIELD. A quartet composed of Ott SEXSON, Hovey CORBIN, Armilla LACKEY and Bitha PORTER, sang three songs. The Red Men had charge at the grave, and gave their ritualistic ceremony. - Link to the Obituary of his daughter, Fannie Esther (JACKSON) PRICE [1892IN-1940IN]: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/6271/mb.ashx - Link to the Obituary of his brother, John Andrew JACKSON [1866IN-1940IN]: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/9824/mb.ashx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
