For Holly Livengood. Hi Holly, I may have found the parents of your Arthur Lockwood, who died in the train/car accidentof 1929. It's pretty circumstantial at this point, but might be worth your checking out further. They would be James C. and Sarah Lockwood of Milan, Erie County, OH. Census records from Ancestry.com on James C.. shows the following: 1. 1880 Federal census, Milan Village, Erie County, OH. Enumerated 22 Jun 1880. Read: Name, age, occupation, place person born, place father born, place mother born: James C. Lockwood, 25, farmer, OH, OH, OH Sarah Lockwood, 26, keeps house, OH, Baden (Germany), Switzerland. Arthur Lockwood, 7 mos., OH, OH, OH. (Note: this would put Arthur's birth year at abt. 1879, and age 50 in 1929 at the time of the accident. His father, James C., would have been born abt. 1855.) 2. Ohio 1910 Census, Miracode Index. Name: James C. Lockwood Age: 55 Birthplace: OH County, Erie, Milan Relaton: Head of Household Wife: Sarah, age 57, born OH Son: Arthur, age 30, born OH 1920 Federal Census, Milan Village, Erie County, OH. Enumerated 12 Jan 1920. James C. Lockwood, head, 65, OH, OH, OH, (none for occupation) Sara Lockwood, wife, 66, OH, Baden (Germany), Switzerland. (Note: Arthur Lockwood was still living at home at abt.age 30 in 1910 Census, but had left home by 1920. If his oldest child was his daughter Alice, who died in the accident at age 15, then he could have been married abt 1914, or a few years earlier when he was in his early 30's -- and still living at home with his parents when he was age 30.) In our Atlas and Directory of Erie County, Ohio,1896, we find a J. C. Lockwood listed as a land owner in Milan, Erie County, OH, Section 4, 82 acres. This property adjoins the "Village of Milan." Listed as Residents and Freeholders of Milan/Milan Village: J.C. Lockwood W. E. Lockwood R.M. Lockwood S. Lockwood E.M. Lockwood T. Lockwood S.A. Lockwood M.W. Lockwood M.E. Lockwood. You mentioned that Arthur Lockwood "died in the Selon Junction Train/Car wreck of 1929...." This same Atlas & Directory of Erie County, Ohio also shows a map of the townships of Erie County, including the Railroad Systems. One rairoad, the L.S. & M.S. R.R., is shown passing through the towns of Sandusky City, Huron Village, Ceylon Village, and Vermillion, running along close to the shoreline of Lake Erie. A spur of this same R.R is shown as running due south from the main R.R, splitting off at the outskirts of Ceylon Village. It appears to me that this junction, where a spur of the R.R. runs south from nearby Ceylon Village, could be where the train/car accident occurred, and that this Ceylon (Village) junction could be what you called "Selon Junction." This Ceylon Village junction appears to be a relatively short distance (no scale is given) just to the northwest of Milan Village where James C. and Sarah Lockwood resided. This might imply that Arthur Lockwood still lived in the general area of his parents at the time of the accident. In our Huron County, Ohio Atlas of 1891, we find a J.C. and a James C. Lockwood owning property in Norwalk Township and Townsend Township, just over the line from Erie County, in Huron County. They are: J.C. Lockwood, Norwalk Twp, section 3, lot 61, 13.75 acres, and Townsend Twp, section 4, lot 94, 45 acres. Jas. C. Lockwood, Norwalk Twp, section 3, lot 61, 26 acres. I couldn't find a definite clincher that would link the Arthur Lockwood who died in the train/car wreck, with the Arthur Lockwood who was the son of James C. and Sarah Lockwood, and the above may be a house of cards, but the information seems to fit in all the right places. Regards, Ken Shute ([email protected]).

Hello: in searching my MILL/MILLS family who moved abt 1834 from Northampton Co., PA to New Haven, Huron Co., OH, I have found a BENJAMIN MILL whom I believe is a member of this family but I cannot connect him other than the fact that he was in Huron Co., Clarksfield Twp in 1840 when my Johann Heinrich Mill (Henry Mills) was in New Haven Twp in the same year. Does anybody out there know anything about Benjamin??? Gerry

Chronicle Telegram (Elyria, Ohio) Friday, 1929, July 26 Headline: Three enroute to Vermilion picnic killed by train. Norwalk, Ohio, July 26 Triple funeral services will be held for three members of one family, killed at Ceylon, near here, last yesterday, when their automobile was struck by a New York Central flyer. The victims were Arthur Lockwood, 50, his wife, May, 47, and a daughter, Alice, 15. Another daughter, Mable, 7, will recover, although she was seriously injured. A standing freight train apparently obscured Lockwood's view of the approaching passenger train when he drove onto the tracks. Danger lights at the crossing also were obscured. The Lockwoods were enroute to a Sunday school picnic at Vermilion when the tragedy occurred. Thats all that was in that newspaper.

To the Huron-L and Holly; You can get copies of the obits below from the Hayes Presidential Center for $2.50 each. They can send by snail mail or e-mail which ever you prefer.

Dear Crystal, My grandfather died in January 1929 in a train/truck wreck in Greenwich and I was able to go to the public library in Willard, Ohio and read their newspapers on microfilm and get a great deal of information about the event. In fact, it helped me find a very nice cousin of my mother's who lives in New Haven, Ohio. (Odd number of coincidences here!) I am not sure exactly where Selon Junction is, but if you can locate a nearby town, you might try phoning their public library and asking the librarian if she can help, or suggest something useful. I don't live near Huron County myself, or I would try to find out something about this for you.

Ruth- Unfortunately, I know nothing about the New London Brundages. I am hoping to make a connection to some Brundages from Westchester County, NY, but so far there is no evidence of one.

Ruth Reed, Thanks so much for your message. My ancestor, Zebulon Brundage, came to Huron Co. from Danby, Tioga Co. NY (now Tompkins Co). The family settled in Fitchville twp in 1828. My Zebulon was born in New York in about 1783. I know about the Steuben Co. NY Brundages. I believe they moved there from New Jersey, but were from the original New England Brundages. This is my recollection of that side of the family. There is probably a connection to Zebulon way back, but I haven't found it yet. I'm not famular with the Brundages that settled in Seneca Co. There could be a connection to my family. A lot of Brundages were on the move about about the same time. I will know more when I hear back from Anne. In the meantime if I find a connection with the Seneca Co. Brundages I will let you know. I have corresponded with Anne, and I believe there is a connection to our Brundage families. This may be the breakthrough I've been looking for to find the parents of Zebulon. What a great day if this is what I've been searching for.

Hi all! It's been a while since I've sent anything to this list. Oplin, the library e-mail that we use, is going through a transformation. During the switch over, I can't get any e-mail at that address. You can use this e-mail if you need to contact me for now. I'll let you know when I have a new e-mail address at the library. I will also be on vacation from 9/27 through 10/7. I will try to check my e-mail during that time, but my daughter is getting married, so I will be kind of busy. If you have a request, please understand that I won't get to it until I'm back to work on the 7th. God bless you all!
