The subject of this sketch, Mr. Fielden Lett, is now before the voters of Jennings and Scott counties as a candidate for Joint Representative at the ensuing election in November next. Said voters may well ask as to his antecedents as a man of business and as a citizen. He was born September 25th, 1817, in Owen county, Ky. At the age of ten years he removed, with his father's family, to Jennings county, Indiana, and located on a tract of land which is now a part of his farm. Daniel Lett furnished his son Fielden with a suit of buckskin clothing and a grubbing hoe, and he was kept busy for the next nine years helping to clear and cultivate the farm. Fielden, by his father's permission, then commenced working on the Madison and Indianapolis railroad, then in course of construction, which was 1836. With the money earned at this work, he entered forty acres of land, which he still owns to-day. This purchase was the last thing he did before his father's death. By his good management and industry he soon acquired another eighty acre tract, making in all 120 acres in his possession before he was 21 years of age. He then married and moved onto his farm which was the basis of his future business operations. In time this small farm was increased by subsequent purchases until Mr. Lett was the owner of two thousand acres of land, but of course these lands were not in one body or farm. In conjunction with his farming he introduced into this county mule raising, and realized handsomely from it, as well as those who subsequently engaged in it. As a boy he was fascinated with the art of veterinary surgery, and in manhood his practice in this art caused him to visit the farms of his neighbors, those of other counties, and later, as his fame spread, he had frequent calls to adjoining States to practice the art. He being a profound thinker and very close observer, his mind was every day being cultivated in business interests pertaining to farms, farming, stock and stock raising of all kinds. His efforts toward bringing Jennings county to the front in the way of raising fine stock has been untiring, and to this fact the people of the county, and of the State, can point with pride. ____________________________________

Penniston, daughter of William and Lida Penniston, was born at North Vernon, Ind., March 8th, 1874. She united with the North Vernon M. E. church March 16th, 1884, at the time being 10 years and 8 days of age. She was baptized and received into full fellowship July 6th, 1884, Bro.Northcott in charge as pastor of the church at the time. Miss Gracie, as she was familiarly called by everyone who had the honor and pleasure of knowing her, at an early period in life developed an acuteness and maturity of mind possessed by but few. With that strength and purity of mind she was possessed of an exceptional, amicable, affiable, loving and forgiving disposition, ever ready at home with her father, mother and brother, as with her associates and school-mates, to drop a tear and word of encouragement. She was a charter member and the secretary of a literary society of young people known as the Epworth League, where she was recognized as a leading and zealous member. She was also an active member of the M. E. Sabbath school and everything pertaining thereto. She would have graduated last winter but for her health failing was compelled to leave school before the close of the term. She again at the beginning of the present term took her place in the graduating class. Her class-mates are left to battle with life and their books; while she has been called Home to that School of schools, and Home of homes, her Preceptor being the great and loving God of that Home, and her class-mates bright and shining angels of that blissful and immortal Home where parting is no more. Gracie departed this life October 6th, A.D. 1890, at 4:40 o'clock p.m., being 16 years, 6 months and 28 days of age. A short time before her death, she placed her arms around her papa's neck, as she was wont to do, in health, and kissed him, saying; "Dear papa, good bye"; then said, "Kiss me mama"; and then kissed her brother and called "grandma".

Last Wednesday Mr. Madison Cotton and wife celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Sixty persons were present to help celebrate the event, and to shower congratulations upon the happy old couple. For fifty years they have travelled through life together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows, but this occasion was perhaps the happiest in their lives. The day was beautiful, seeming to blend in perfect unity with the event. It was one of those days which only an October sky can bring, and nature, the greatest artist of the universe, hand tinged the foliage with golden hues to contrast with the golden anniversary. As the sun was throwing the short shadows across the earth, the guests present felt as though something to appease their appetites would not be the worst thing in the world, but in this they were not disappointed, for in an adjoining room was a table spread and loaded to its utmost capacity with all the delicacies afforded by a bountiful land, and they were forthwith invited to assemble at the table, where full justice was done an elegant repast. One of the most notable features of the occasion was the presence of Uncle Henry H. Mix and wife, who were present at the marriage of Mr. Cotton and wife half a century ago. Mt. Cotton and wife were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents, among which were gold spectacles, gold thimble, dishes, $26.50 in gold and many things which we have not space to enumerate.

William and Rhoda Maupin, died at the home of her sister, in Kansas, September 27th, 1890, after long, patient suffering. She was surrounded by many dear friends, and her dear mother was at her bedside, but when the summons came for her to leave this world of trials and suffering, she was perfectly willing and ready to go to meet her beloved father who had gone on before. Lizzie was in Kansas teaching school when she was taken sick. She had taught the previous year in the same school, where she had formed many dear friends. She was born at Hartsville, Ind., and died at Cullison, Kans., aged 28 years and 3 days. She was received into the church by Rev. B. F. Cooper at Hopewell, in 1878. Lizzie lived a faithful, christian life, and was loved by a large circle of relatives and friends. The remains were brought here and interred at Dupont, Oct. 1st. The Masonic Order took charge of the remains at the grave, where beautiful and appropriate services were held. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." She is at rest in her home above waiting for the loved ones to join her. ~ F. H. H. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It is with feelings of deepest sorrow that we speak of our worthy and much beloved friend, Edward Hutton, who departed this life on Thursday morning, September 25th, 1890. Mr. Hutton was born in Harrisburg, Adams county, Pa.; April 1s, 1806; united in marriage to Mary Ann Baumgardner, of Miami county, Ohio, in 1834. This union resulted in the birth of seven children, all of whom are left to mourn his loss, except two daughters, who have passed on before. These children are all obedient and dutiful, and are a great comfort to their mother, whose life, we believe they will try to make comfortable and happy. Mr. Hutton was a kind and loving husband, a true and devoted father, and a constant Christian. He became a member of the Baptist church in 1846, in the faith of which he has always had a bright hope. Therefore his friends weep not, as they who have no hope. Funeral services were held at the house, and were attended by a large number of sympathizing neighbors and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. John Waters, after which the remains were laid at rest in the Rush Branch cemetery, to await the resurrection. May the God of the widow, and the Father of the fatherless, comfort and sustain the bereaved hearts. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DIED. PENNISTON ~ At her home in North Vernon, on Monday evening, October 6th, 1890, at 5 o'clock p.m., of typhoid pneumona, Miss Grace Penniston, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Penniston. Gracie was the pride of a large circle of relatives and friends and was universally loved and esteemed. The loss to her parents is an irreparable one, and they have the profound sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. ================================== CANA. October 6, 1890.

Do you have earlier accounts of newspaper articles of Jennings Co. My ggggrandparents (James and Jane Butler) were in Jennings Co at Vernon in 1833 -1858, but Jane died about 1854. James married Nancy Bundy in 1858. A daughter Martha was b. about 1862. The family then moved to Montgomery Co. IL. Nancy's father was Miles Bundy. Jane's father was Caleb Moncrief ,son of Maxwell. Does any of this have any connections to others? I hope so.

Myron's Mash. Last Sunday as Myron King in company with two lady friends was enjoying a ride through the streets of Vernon, his horse by some means became entangled in the harness while going at a good gait and fell to the ground, upsetting the buggy and dashing the occupants to the ground, the ladies falling upon King. After the wreck was cleared it was found that while the ladies sustained considerable injury about their faces and heads King was unable to stand alone on account of the severe wrenching of his knees. The wounded parties were taken to a house near by where their wounds were dressed and then they were brought to this city. The ladies returned to Seymour on a late train and Myron is now hobbling around the depot. The buggy was a complete wreck but strange to say the horse was extricated without injury.

Hi Cindy , Yes they are the same. I am sorry for the confusion. Here is a copy of the "follow-up email I sent to the list. Hi again Terry & and Listers, This was really meant to go only to Terry for approval. I should have looked at the email address better. Sorry about that folks. It seems the copy and paste didn't quite catch all the url. Try these links instead. I tested this email by sending it to myself and it works ok. If it doesn't copy the link completely please copy and paste it in your browsers address window. Thanks for you patience everyone. Here is where the other post began; I have just completed adding these new pages to my site. If you would take a few minutes and look them over perhaps, you not mind putting a link to the beginning of them on your site. I hope they will be of interest to Jennings County researchers and others looking for their family members that lived in Jennings County. Please let me know what you think of them. Thanks so much for your time, I really appreciate it, Nancy Curtis Eurich ~Liberty~Graham Baptist Church ~Sesquicentennial~ 1829~1979 ~ It begins here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nceurich/LibertyGrahamBaptistChurch Cover.html This is the Table of contents: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nceurich/LibertyGrahamBaptistChurch Cover2.html This is the "Program" page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nceurich/LibertyGrahamBaptistChurch 20.html

Nancy, Your pages are great and I would LOVE to include them on the Jennings page. It's really good timing too because I've been working furiously (with the help of computer guy husband) to completely redo the Jennings county web page. I want to make it easier to navigate and faster to load. I plan on including the web pages that I've been sent which people with ties to Jennings have developed. If anyone else has links that they haven't sent me, please do so now. I also plan to have a search engine on the page so people can find reference to the surnames they are researching a little faster. This will help especially with all those newspaper articles that Antoinette has tirelessly typed up for us. If anyone has pictures of Jennings county or Jennings county folk, send a scan of those to me and I will include that on the page as well. Terry P.S. Nancy, I especially LOVED the pictures on your pages. Those were great!
