In the 1880 census Union Twp there is a Thomas Kessee 50 #104 b KY KY VA Farmer but his wife is Sarah 35 Wisconsin Mass NY They have several children There are a couple of Kessee marriages but don't see Thomas. Sarah Alice is a common old name -- I guess I'll just leave it up to you, Jeffey to decide just who this dude is :)

KELSEY Death Records Montgomery Co IN Don't know why I didn't think of it before but our Thomas Kessey IS Thomas Kelsey see below Thomas M 60 22 September 1905 Crawfordsville H 34 14

Thomas Kelsey died in Crawfordsville in 1905, age 60, but I cannot find him with Alice -- or indeed, cannot find him at all in 1880. I found a family of potters in Iowa born in Indiana with a Thomas of approximately the right age in 1860 -- but didn't find them again. Absolutely zero results on Kessey with any reasonable connection to Alice/Thomas/Crawfordsville. I guess the next step for someone who's not cooking Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow is a line-by-line search of the 1880 census in Montgomery County -- perhaps just the eastern townships.

Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 3 Oct 1891 p 3 -- Herbert H. Gortner, of Goshen, Ind and Miss Maude Galey of this city were quietly married on Sept 24 at the home of the bride's parents in Englewood. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the only persons present were the bride's family, groom's parents from Goshen and FL Snyder of Joplin, Mo. The marriage ceremony occurred at half past 8 o'clock and was performed by Rev. EB Thomson of this city, the bride being attired in a neat traveling dress and groom in the customary black. At midnight the newly married couple left on the Big Four for Cincinnati where they will remain until some time next week when after av isit to Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo they will leave for their future home in Goshen. In about 3 weeks they will go to housekeeping there in a beautiful home which now awaits their arrival. It has been long since a wedding occurred here which has created more favorable comment than that of last evening, the young couple being most deservedly poular in the social circles of this city. The bride has lived in Crawfordsville all her life and Crawfordsville surrenders most reluctantly this beautiful, modest and refined lady than whom a bride more generally and thoroughly respected and beloved never left or entered her precincts. The groom is likewise well known here, having spent four years in Wabash College from which he graduated in the class of '90. While in school he made hosts of friends by his gentlemanly conduct on all occasions and won the respect of his instructors by his high standard of scholarship. After graduation he entered at once as a member of the firm, the well known Goshen house, "The Hawkes Hardware Company" and has succeeded admirably in this business. He is regarded as one of the most enterprising young business men in northern Indiana and no better compliment could be paid him than to say that he stands as high in the estimation of Goshen as in that of Crawfordsville. The marriage consumated last night was a most felicitous one in every particular and The Journal with all Crawfordsville takes the greatest pleasure in extending its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. HH Gortner for a long, useful prosperous and happy married life.

Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 5 March 1892 p 3 -- Even the expected is sometimes a surprise and it was so on Wednesday when it was announced that Frank L. Snyder and Miss Mabel Galey had been quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B.V. Galey in Englewood. The affair was quite private, only the immediate family being present. The ceremony was performed at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. EB Thomson and immediately after it, the happy couple took the south bound Vandalia train for St. Louis. They will visit Kansas CIty and other places before going to their future home at Joplin. The bride has been one of Crawfordsville's best known society young ladies and has endered herself to hundreds by those charming graces, which have always rendered her so deservedly popular. She carries with her to her new home the best wishes of all who knew her. The groom is an old resident of this city where he has hosts of acquaintances and friends. He is now engaged in lead mining at Joplin, Mo and the head of one of the most prosperous and wealthy companies. The Journal extends congratulations and best wishes.

Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 17 June 1893 p3 -- William G. Hutchings was killed Monday night by an accident which occurred near the farm of Capt. E. P. McClaskey, on the darlington road. Hutchings resided on the farm of his mother, Mrs. Martha Hutchings, six miles east of this city. He was a married man and an industrious farmer. Monday afternoon he took a load of wheat to Darlington and having disposed of it spent the balance of the day there, leaving for home about half past 8 at night. About 11 o'clock Wallace Casher was driving along the road near Capt. McClaskey's farm and while crossing a small, unguarded bridge over a boggy little stream, discovered evidence of an accident having occurred there. Examination showed a wagon upside down in the mud and sluggish water below the bridge. Casher hurried to the nearest house and returned with a lantern and assistance. The wagon was raised and under it was found the dead body of Will Hutchings, half buried in the mud. The remains were taken back to Darlington and prepared for burial while the word of the sad accident was carried to his family. A cut on the forehead seemed to prove that his head had struck one of the logs of the bride as the wagon went over, stunning him and preventing him from helping himself when the wagon fell over on him. He must have miserable smothered to death in the mud. Coroner Bronaugh held his inquest Tuesday and found that the deceased came to his death substantially as narrated above. The accident was a very lamentable one and the family has the sympatny of all in its bereavement.

Crawfordsville Journal Review, Monday, October 26, 1936, page 1 LOCAL MAN KILLED, GIRL HURT IN CRASH Machine Overturns On Curve Near Here Cecil Clare Boze, 22, Fatally Injured – Miss Sue Pruitt, His Companion, Critically Hurt in Accident East of Crawfordsville. A Crawfordsville youth was almost instantly killed and his girl companion was critically injured early Sunday morning when the speeding machine in which they were riding overturned on state road 34 about four miles east of this city. Cecil Clare Boze, 22, 1720 east Elmore street, died before the arrival of an ambulance from this city. His death was attributed to a skull fracture and a broken neck. Miss Sue Pruitt, 19, 1013 west Market street, Boze’s companion, suffered severe head injuries, Culver hospital attaches said. She had not regained consciousness early Monday afternoon. The accident occurred, it is believed, shortly after 1 o’clock Sunday morning on the Shiloh hill a short distance west of the George Hartung farm. So far as could be determined by Montgomery County Coroner Charles Riley of New Ross, there were no eye witnesses to the mishap. Two Crawfordsville youths, Luke Curran and Jake Hare, police said, were the first person to reach the scene of the accident. The local men, seeing Boze’s car wrecked in a field adjoining the highway with lights burning, stopped to investigate. They found Boze lying about 50 feet east of his auto, and while Hare remained with the injured youth, Curran drove to Crawfordsville to summon the Proffit and Sons ambulance. In negotiating the turn in the highway, the machine left the pavement on the north side and the driver, in attempting to get back on the concrete lost control of the vehicle which Coroner Riley estimated was traveling approximately 80 miles per hour. The machine swerved across the highway to the south and overturned at leave five times as it rolled into a field, according to local police officers who also went to the scene of the accident after being notified of the mishap. The car, a Ford V-8 tudor, was totally demolished and the top was split in two. Both occupants were thrown clear of the wreckage. Miss Pruitt, whose nineteenth birthday was yesterday, was found about 125 feet west of the wrecked car in a ditch alongside the Finch gravel road. Boze, who for the past three years has been employed by the Mid-States Steel and Wire Company, and Miss Pruitt were enroute to this city. They had been seen in Jamestown a short time before the accident occurred Coroner Riley said Curran and Boze had attended the Wabash-Butler football game together Saturday afternoon, separating about 5:30 o’clock. Cecil Clare Boze, Jr., was born April 27, 1914, in Wingate, the son of Cecil O. and Oka L. Wilhite Boze. He attended Crawfordsville high school and formerly was a member of the local aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
