Posted on: Jennings Co. IN Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs//genbbs.cgi/USA/In/JenningsObits/291 Surname: Stearns, Showers, Berkman, Morgan ------------------------- Mrs. Lucinds Stearns, aged ___ years, 8 months, died on Tuesday morning March 9, 1886, of congestion of the brain, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J.E. Showers, St. Cloud, Minnesota. Funeral services took place the following day at 3 o'clock in the midst of a large circle of friends at Star Cemetery. The deceased was in good health until the last day of February, at which time she was stricken with the fatal disease, after which she was unable to talk much and seemed to realize very little except her sufferings which were very great. She died the morning of the 10th day from which she was stricken. She was born in Fayette County, Indiana, and resided there until January 1837 when she was married to Rev. J. L. Stearns who at that time was a resident of Decatur County where they remained with but one exception for many years. Her husband and only son, W.L. Stearns, died at their residence in Jennings County. The death of her son was a severe loss, and finally becoming convinced that a change of climate would be better for her remaining children, especially Mrs. Showers who was then in poor health, she left her old home in September 1876 and went with her daughters, Mrs. Showers and Mrs. J.H. Berkman, to Minnesota, where they have since resided. The move proved successful physically and financially, and the deceased enjoyed her new home very much, having remarked only a few days before her sickness that she had not taken a single dose of doctor's medicine since she lived in the state. She often spoke of her excellent appetite and her relish for food which is a peculiar feature to the climate there. In 1880 she visited with her daughter, Mrs, Showers, their many friends including her step-daughter, Mrs. Phebe Morgan, in Jennings and other counties in the state. The deceased was converted and joined the United Brethren Church when a child and remained a member of that church until her removal to St. Cloud, when she became a member of the M.E. Church and remained a member until her death. She never forsook the faith she had in Christ from her childhood, but ever held up the cause as a guiding star to that blessed land where she hoped to enter. She will be remembered by many as a kind and generous woman, always ready to relieve the sick and help the poor. A single instance may illustrate: a poor woman came in just before her death and asked permission to kiss the unconscious form, stating at the same time how much she had done for her. But her work is done and she has gone to reap her reward. North Vernon Plain Dealer 5/5/1886

David S. Force and his son Benjamin Franklin Force are my direct ancestors. Thank you, I would love to see what you have on the families you mentioned or any additional information you might have for me. I did not have a wife for Calvin, but did have the other two Goltry connections; however I have no dates on these marriages children. I have assumed that David S. Force and Sarah Landon Goltry may have been divorced. Do you know anything about this? As far as I know David's children were all with his first wife, Eliza Day, my ancestor. I would like to add to the family group sheet for David S. Force and Eliza Day any information you might have concerning them, their children and their children' spouses and marriage dates, etc. I did not have Anna "Nettie " Goltry's name. Do you happen to have any information on my Day line? Eliza Day had brothers named David W. and Lewis Day. I realize you wouldn't be following it unless you had some connections there too. A lot of people seemed to come together from New York to Indiana. I am sorry that I don't have more Goltry information for you but I will keep you posted as I run across more.

Terry Engel, I am looking for information on Eliza Day who had a brother Lewis Day who married a Sarah Child. She later married my ancestor David Force, but I heard that her death record was as Sarah Day in about 1887 in Jennings County Indiana. Is this the same person? If so, I would be interested in any information on her or her family and especially her husband Lewis Day's family.

This afternoon while checking through some old newspaper articles/tidbits sent to me during the past several years of researching, I came across an interesting item from the North Vernon Sun of May 26, 1932 Quote ~~ Mrs. George E. AMICK and little son, George Jr., came from Washington, D.C., Saturday for an extended visit with her parents, W. S. WALKER and wife. Unquote ~~ Now in my ancestry there are several W. S. WALKER's and I know it cannot be my direct line of W. S. WALKER, Sr., and W. S. WALKER, Jr. ~ ~ BUT my W. S. WALKER Sr had a brother Thomas Burton WALKER who had a son W. S. WALKER. Does anyone know the given name of the above mentioned Mrs. George E. AMICK so that I might rest my mind a wee bit <grin> Thank you. Antoinette waughtel@oz.net
