"Jesse TRUSDELL, a well-known resident of this county, died at his home in Stockholm, on April 10th, at the age of nearly 90 years. He was born in Vernon township, July 13, 1804, where he grew to manhood and followed the occupation of farming until 1860, when he moved to Stockholm. His later days have been spent in peaceful retirement. He was married three times. His first wife was Miss Jane Giveans, of Vernon, who died March 17th, 1856, and was buried at Vernon. By his marriage with Miss Giveans he had thirteen children, eleven of whom grew to manhood and are still living: viz, John G., a lawyer and District Judge in Newark; Barnard H., a retired lawyer of Amboy, Ill., who now resides at Warwick, NY; Samuel G., a wholesale dealer in teas, coffees and spices, in New York City; Abram K., a practicing lawyer, at Dixon, Ill; Warren N., a real estate agent of Newark, NJ; George R., a dentist at Hancock, NY; Christiana J., wife of Harrison DeKay, of Denver, Col.; Elizabeth, wife of James T. Wisner, of Warwick, NY; Lucretia, wife of George Brink of Warwick, NY; Amanda H., wife of John Sayer, of Warwick, NY: and Lawrence, wife of W. H. DeGraw, of Union Hill, NJ. He had no children by his second and third marriages. His last wife survives him. For seventy years he had been a devoted member of the M. E. Church. His remains were to have been taken to Vernon for interment on Thursday, but the impassable condition of the roads required a postponement of the funeral until Saturday." I hope that this helps someone. And I would be interested in exchanging info with them as I am related to the GIVEANS family. Mona, Richmond, IN
