THE SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. REBECCA M'CORMICK (Rebecca Wert McCORMICK) Widow of Former Well Known Farmer of Ripley Township Dead Relatives Thought She Was Sleeping Until They Attempted to Arouse Her. Mrs. Rebecca McCormick, aged sixty-seven, widow of James McCormick, one time leading farmer of Ripley township, died suddenly at her home three miles north of Alamo at five on Thursday morning. Her death was due to apoplexy and came as a great shock to her relatives and friends. Some member of the family went into her room about five and saw that Mrs. McCormick was apparently asleep. Later, when the member of the family returned to call her, and did so, she received no response. Examination proved that Mrs. McCormick was not sleeping, but dead. A physician was hastily summoned from Yountsville and he made every effort to restore her, but without avail. Mrs. John Thompson of five miles north of Darlington is a daughter. ~Crawfordsville Daily Journal 28 May 1915 p. 5 col 6. Transcribed by Suzy Wert **************New year...new news.

Hi all -- Are there any people on here who have a migration pattern of New Jersey to Colerain Township, Hamilton Co Ohio (Near Cincinnati) to Fountain or Montgomery Counties? OR do you know of any surnames that would be in such a migration? Here are some I found on One World Tree, but I wondered if there was some sort of mass migration, and then I wondered why. And why Montgomery Co. Tate Stout Wert Tumey Compton Corson Maybe Titus, Barnes and Wilkinson **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.

This was back in the old days - published 1958 I think. He sure pegs the place and the big Amish names, at least. I went through and typed all of 'em in for 1910 & 1920 but didn't find a Bontrager with a Rachel, however found two with all girls. She talks about her younger sisters but don't think she's named them. Nor, her parents - she calls them Father and Mother Bontrager. Of course, he may have used Bontrager as it had to be one of the most prominent names there - 57 in 1920 or so. He discusses the kinds of fish, what fruits are prominent in the time, it's just really neat. ----- Original Message ----- From: <s.m.mills@comcast.net> To: <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 8:31 PM Subject: [InMontgo] reading and Amish > > > You do love mysteries, don't you?

Several also migrated from KY and on to Iowa. They seemed to travel in families.

Any of you real readers via genealogy? I love to read fiction based on the real thing or the real thing that reads like fiction. Just FYI -- I was helping my daughter weed her library here in little Waveland, Indiana and found an "Indiana" author book which we never throw away which I'd never read. It's called Wolcott's Mills by Wayne B. Fisher. What an amazing story. I think it's tagged as fiction but the names are either real or close to it. The name of the main character (an Amish girl who "bundles," gets pregnant, her betrothed is blown-up in a 4th of July accident) is Rachel Bontrager. Her bethrothed was Amos Hostetler and her husband (an older man who was about to die of stomach cancer - she was forced to marry him to give the baby a name) Jonas Lambright. They are ALL big LaGrange names. This story takes place in 1928 -- according to the 1920 census I think Jacob a man living alone named Jacob Lambright might be the character - wish I had access to the 1930 census to see if he's gone or there's a lone woman Bontrager there. Oh, well, it's FICTIOn anyway however there are actual speeches given that were done that 4th of july and I wonder if there really was an accident that day or that part was made up. Anyway, if any of you get a chance to read thisor anything like it, share those with me, I'd love to read 'em too :) We have so many Amish families in our area right now who just moved here about 6 years ago so this has been a fab look at what their life is similar / like.

Portrait & Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana p 687 (Chapman Brothers, 1893) -- Abram HEATH, proprietor of a good farm on Section 19, Wayne Township, Montgomery County, was born in 1820 in Butler County, Ohio. He is a son of William Heath, who was born May 15, 1794, in the state of Maryland, one of the soldiers in the War of 1812. He came to Indiana as early as 1823, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Montgomery County, securing land from the Government, which is now in the possession of our subject. He and his wife were the parents of 3 children: Mary, the eldest, the widow of William MUNNS who was a farmer in this township until his death; ANnie, who was born in Butler Co, in 1817, married Joseph CLIFTON and died in Kansas in 1892 and Abram. Abram Heath was reared amid pioneer environments on a farm in the days when this part of the country was a howling wilderness, whose primeval forests were still haunted by the red men and his legitimate prey -- the wild game that was so abundant in years gone by. Mr. Heath, having thus been present in the opening years of the settlement of Montgomery County, may be said to have grown with its growth and is today one of its thriving agriculturists. An account of those boyhood days in the dim past would add greatly to the interest of this biography, did space permit its insertion. He had many a hard struggle to obtain a good start in life, and in the year of his marriage settled permanently on the old homestead of his father. He has made his calling profitable and has a farm that compares favorably in point of improvements and tillage with the best in the vicinity. In 1842 (12-22-1842 Montgomery County) Mr. Heath took unto himself a wife in the person of Salome, daughter of Dennis and Margaret BALL, in whom he has found a loving companion and a helper in his work. Five children have blessed their marriage, as follows: Mary Ann, the eldest, born in 1843; William D, who was born in 1845 and married Sarah ELLIS; Margaret who was born in 1847, and married TJ SIMPSON; Joh H, who was born in 1851 and married Emma Allen; and Rachie, who was born in 1858 and died 1886. In politics Mr. Health is a member of the Democratic party. He belongs to that useful organization the Horse Thief Detective Association, of which he is one of the founders. He has been Trustee of the township and has awlays displayed commendable zeal in forwarding the best interests of the place where he has so long made his home. Religiously, both he and his wife are communicants of the Christian Union Church and give without stint of their means to its support.

Portrait & Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana p 686 -- Jackson McCORMACK, who resides on his beautiful and well-appointed farm on Sec 17, Ripley Twp, is a worthy representative of the citizens of Montgomery County who are conducting its great farming and stock interests. He was a soldier during the late war, though but a boy when he entered the army, and he has ever show himself to be a patriotic and public-spirited citizen. A native of Indiana, Mr. McCormack was born in Henry County NOv 26, 1848. His paternal grandfather, John McCormack and his father James McCormack, were natives of Franklin Co, Va. When the latter was 14 years old, the family came to Indiana and settled on land bought from the Government. Our subject had 3 brothers who grew to manhood; John, a farmer, who married a Miss Huff; Ella, who was born on the old homstead in Henry County and is now a resident of Indianapolis; and Milton, who married Miss Dora Wood, and resides in Henry County. John who served with credit during the rebellion as a volunteer in the 142nd Indiana Regiment. Mr. McCormack passed his early boyhood days on a farm and was fast acquiring a thorough knowledge of agriculture when the rebellion broke out and turned his thoughts in other directions. He was then but 12 years of age, but he was intensely interested int he great conflict, and at the age of 15 his great desire to serve his country as a soldier was gratified, and, though so young, his name was enrolled as a member of the 140th Indinaa infantry, commanded by col. Thomas j. Brailey and Capt. SU Shaw. Our subject had a full experience of army life in all its phases and here with fortitutde and undaunted courage its privations, dangers and hardships. He witnessed and took part in some of the most important battles of the war, and remembers most vividly the engagement at Ft. Anderson. After his discharge from the army at the close of the war in 1865, Mr. McCormack resumed his early labors on the farm. He has since become possessed of the farm that he now resides in Ripley Twp, which, with its 360 acres of carefully cultivated land, its commodious and conveniently arranged buildings and other substantial improvements on every hand, constitutes one of the finest estates in this locality. It is well stocked with standard breeds of cattle, horses, and has a rich soil, well adapted to raising graiu, to which it is party devoted. A valuable orchard also adorns the place. In 1872 our subject was happily married to Miss Mary C.daughter of Robert and Jerusha McMarkim of Ripley Twp. Mrs. McCormack was born in 1856. Both she and her husband stand high in social circles and neighbors and friends have a warm regard for them. The Presbyterian Church finds in them active working members and liberal contributors to its financial needs, and any movement looking to the betterment of the community, spiritually or materially, is sure of meeting wtiht htier approbation and generas support. Mr. McCormack is a prominent and well known figure in Grand Army circles, and has done much to forward the interests of the order in this section. He is also an earnest worker in the Farmers' Protective Union. He is a Republican of the truest stamp in his political views.

Naw, not a Wert; he just had the good fortune to have his death notice on the same page in the newspaper, it came out well on the copy, so I typed it up. I like to keep you on your toes! Suzy Is his mother a Wert - I had her as a Wray ? KZ **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines. (http://www.aol.com/?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000026)

You're right -- My theory *was* that Jesse changed his name to James when he got older, but he was Jesse H all the way through the 1930 census. There is simply no evidence of James anywhere except that obit. I added it as an alternate name with a note, but I think I'll take it out, and put a note on the obit about the name being wrong instead. Suzy I did find it interesting that his obit says he has a son James H. White but I'm 99% sure the man's name was Jesse H. not James H, he is in the write up of his father's biography and in two censues :) That's what makes genealogy fun :) **************New year...new news.
