Hi Mike, Honestly, I believe that Quaker Bottom was in Rome Township, and that it was filled with wonderful farms and orchards. The dirt there was very rich from occasional flooding of the Ohio River. Nelson Cox was my great great grandfather. He owned property in Windsor Township and Union Township. His house was in Windsor Township. His farm was always considered a "hill farm." I'm wondering if it was a misstatement to state that he was from Quaker Bottom. Perhaps someone else can straighten us out.

Jean, I'm wondering if this Dan Rapp was the son of Daniel C. Rapp(1834-1881), whose sister, Jane Rapp(1836-1897) married Isaac Dillon, son of the Vincent Dillon I mentioned earlier? Isaac and Jane resettled to Worth Co., MO shortly after the Civil War. Their son, J. W. S. Dillon, a family reseacher, prepared a three page summary for a 1932 family reunion in Windsor Twp., which was the starting point for all of my research. Henry S.

Jean, I know we've had this discussion before, but it's still hard to believe there would be two Nelson Coxes living so close together, at about the same time, yet unrelated. My Nelson Cox(1848-1926) lived most of his life in Athens and Hocking Cos. I took a photo of his gravesite in the New Marshfield Cemetery(near Athens) just a couple of weeks ago. His mother, Nancy Dillon Cox, also buried in the same cemetery, was the sister of Vincent Dillon, my direct Dillon line, who resettled to Lawrence Co. in the 1840s. Henry S.

Here's the latest column that Dan Rapp wrote about the Ironton High School classes of 1914 and 1915. I hope someone finds some names that help them out in these columns. My grandmother is in the class of 1915. Sweet! - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Rapp [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 11:32 AM To: Walt Donham; Jean Griesan; mick kitts Subject: On the South Side, Oct. 10, 2005. IHS 1914 & 1915 On the South Side, Oct. 10, 2005. The uniqueness of the IHS classes of 1914 & 1915 was that in The Owl for each year the student editor wrote about the need for a new high school because Kingsbury high school was small and outdated. This year we have many adults stating the need for a new high school, but no student, or group of students, has written their opinion of the present high school and whether they want a new school or renovation of their high school. Student leaders, please step up and let the public know where you stand on this important issue. Your written public opinions will influence voters. ** The class of 1914 included class officers Arthur Evans, Dewey Brumberg, Mabel Flehr and Bata Elkins. Other seniors were Lil Arnett, Mabel Batham, Edith Bingham, Blanche Carrier, Eva Castner, Elizabeth Chase, Clara Clark, Ernest Clark, Marie Cooke, Charles Crance, Isabel Crum, John Dillon, Mary Dyer, Ralph Feil, Maisie Fritz, Richard Fugitt, Bill Heald, Roy Heck, Elsie Henninger, Ruth Hopkins, Gertie Lynd, Ethel Mayne, Bessie Meyers, Mary Norman, Leon Richey, Mabel Shelton, Lorena Sickerman, Ruth Markin Stroup, Vern Wade, Harry Williams, Garnet Wilson and Carl Zimmerman. The Owl staff included editor Arthur Evans, business manager Emerson Arnold, and athletic editors Louis Halley and David Haney. Evans wrote, "one of Ironton's greatest needs is a new high school building." Superintendent N.J. Riter and Principal Boyd Davis lead the school system. New faculty included E.T. Edwards, Mary Crum, Lillian Cronacher, Edna Edwards, Mary Silbaugh, and Anna Jones. Senior humor: Teacher. What plant flouishes most in extreme hot weather? Sr. The ice plant. In 1914 three literary societies began: Ecritean, Clionian and Euterpean. They functioned mainly as social groups so the students could get together and talk and eat, but some public writing was also part of it. There was a student strike when winter snow covered the ground; one said they all went sledding on Vernon Hill. Sports teams were competitive that year, domestic science students all wore aprons covering them from neck to knee, and a high school graduate could expect to earn a $1,000 a year. ** The 1915 Owl was edited by Elwyn Sample, who wrote "a new high school is a crying necessity". Richey Lucas was business manager of the Owl. New faculty were Libbie Newmark, Alonzo Hixon, Eva McCormick, Charles Ross, and Lillian Humphrey -- who began teaching in the fall of 1914 and retired about 1965. Now that's dedication. Class officers were Will Brooks, Lois Davisson, Bea Cloran and Hazel Porter. Other seniors were Ann Hayes, Etheyl Brown, Werneth Allen, Owen Cloran, Ermina Stewart Cox, my great aunt; Mildred Vermillion, Ermina's cousin; Pansy Dickens, Esther Edwards, Enid Claire Howell, T. D. Hopkins, Winifred Humphrey, Clara Holliday, who left her Owls to June Hampton; E. Dow Markin, WWI hero; Edna M. Maine, Gray Lucas, Gert Minzes, Blanche Mohr, Pansy Remy, Elza E. Wade, George Selby, George Sites, Will Sprouse, Gertie Shields, Berta Lusk, Charles Williams, Margie Williams, and Irma Woods. 33 seniors. Commencement was June 3 at First Methodist Episcopal with Dr. Edwin Chubb, Dean of Liberal Arts at Ohio University, speaking. Chubb Hall was named for him. ** The football team was 2-2-2. On the track Smitty Progler ran a 10.4 hunderd yard dash. There were six musicians in the orchestra, eight singers in the boys Glee Club, 18 in the girls Glee Club and 20 in the German Club, which was led by Libbie Neimark. Bernie Smith was open at 3rd & Railroad, Miller Ice Cream was sold at 3rd & Vernon, and J.W. Tulga repaired wagons, harnesses, buggies, carriages and bicycles at 9th & Park. The Marting garage did auto repairs on 7th near the park. Diamond Lumber management included E.F. Meyers, Thomas DeMaro, Clyde Turley, O.H. Schweickart and E.J. Merrill.

Here's the column about the Ironton High School classes of 1912 and 1913 written by Dan Rapp. His column is called, "On the South Side." - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Rapp [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 1:33 PM To: Tom Griesan On the South Side, September 27, 2005. The IHS class of 1912 included Bessie Stewart, Lamont Hopkins, Guy Long, Loren and Walter Crawford, Eunice Jones, Margaret Ferguson, Isaac Lewis, Gladys Brown and Hazel McCauley. F.L. McCauley was the city safety director and bought the fire department its first motorized pumper. Other seniors were Elbert Lawless, James Sloan, William Lucas, Charles Cloran, Mildred Simpson, William Bingham, Edna Lynd, Eloise Young, Margaret Livingston, Mabel Herity, Margaret Roetting, Margaret Levering and Charles and Marie Selb. In 1914 Joe Selb ran Champion Bottling Works, which made ice cream and soft drinks at Front & Mulberry. ** In fall, 1912, a speaking platform was erected in 4th street facing the courthouse. The Bullmoose party presidential candidate and his running mate campaigned in Ironton. President William H. Taft and Teddy Roosevelt spoke to the people. Peter Burke was probably there. Burke edited The Owl, William Nockingost was business manager and Jack Yates was athletic editor. Stuart Crawford had been hired as coach; the football team was 5-4-1 and beat Portsmouth. The boys and girls each had basketball teams, and one source said they practiced and played in the two-story Episcopal annex when it was an open hall with a high ceiling. The IHS orchestra was organized and gave its best performance at First Baptist Church; the church ladies rewarded them with a two-course dinner in the parlor. ** The 1913 Owl was edited by Chauncey Blankenship with Arthur Evans business manager and Allison Abel athletic editor. Coach Cory's football team was 5-0-1 against high school competition. Senior class officers were Frank Frailie, Charline Neal, Merril Wiseman, Laura Holschuh, Mary Cofer and Mabel Cloran. Other seniors were Anna Turner, Sallie Cox, Erma Gabler, who was always well-dressed, George Whittaker, Hyacinth Remy, Helen Murdock, Mable Carrier, Charles Jones, Elizabeth Wiseman, Lawrence Mahl, Lill Horn, Jim Byrnes, Bill Knockenghost, Madge Banks and Nick McMahon, who managed the Tanks during the 1930 season when they defeated the Chicago Bears and the NY Giants. ** Other seniors were Paul Selby, Ella McCracken, a fellow from Union Landing named Earl Drummond, Elizabeth Freeman, Albert Harbolt, Edwin Lintner, Paul and Ken Shattuck, Gordon Riel, William Spanner, whose namesake Bill works at a local food pantry; and Elmer Mayne, one of the original Ironton Tanks whose son Don was a newspaper editor. Don's wife Dot orchestrates the Festival of the Hills. George Mayne was the police chief in 1913. ** School was interrupted from March 28 to April 8 by the 1913 flood. On March 28, the Ohio River rose past sixty feet at Railroad Street and flooded downtown Ironton for the tenth time since 1849, that's about once every seven years. Fortunately for the U.S. Post Office it had moved to the new and higher stone Federal Building at 5th and Center during the first week in March; its previous location was at 4th and Center, probably the lowest point downtown. By Wednesday, April 1, the river was at 67'10" and the National Guard arrived. On April 8, the Ohio slowly withdrew within its banks and the cleanup began. The results of the flood were 1000 houses damaged, 68 houses pushed completely off their foundations, and 24 washed away. Please vote for the floodwall levy in November. Best wishes always, Dan

Hi! My cousin, Dan Rapp, writes a column every so often for the Ironton Tribune. It's called, "On the South Side." You can't access it online due to some website issues. However, Dan sends these to me occasionally. I thought that you all might like to see this. - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Rapp [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 5:26 PM To: Jean Griesan Subject: IHS 1911 On the South Side, September 12, 2005. For the years 1911 to 1915, June Hampton loaned me five Owls which were given to her by Kate and Clara Holliday, who used to teach at Lawrence Street elementary school. The IHS Class of 1911 put together the fourth edition of The Owl. The editor was Carl Hugger, whose brother George later owned and ran Hugger Jewelry at 330 Center St. Their father Jacob Hugger was a jeweler; George served on city council and helped obtain federal money for construction of the city swimming pool. Owl business manager was Hobart Dovel, who was probably related to the George Dovel family of Union Landing, who operated a store near the second railroad underpass, that store was the Union Landing relief center during the 1913 and 1937 floods. Irwin Wagner was the athletic editor of the 1911 Owl and was possibly related to the owners of Waginger's tavern which was recently torn down. Waginger's was for many years the favorite eating place of those who attended the night baseball and softball games at Beechwood Park. *** The school superintendent in 1911 was James Begg. The Kingsbury high school principal was Prof. R. D. Crout, and faculty members were Kate McGugin, N.J. Riter, Bertha Gabler and Clara Gabler of the clothing store family, Boyd Davis, Lulu Ashton, Juliet Stockbridge and Alva Edwards, who later became principal at Columbus South high school. Alva was the first woman high school principal in Columbus and spent many summers fishing the streams of Eagle River, Wisconsin with sister Edna and her family, and later with cousin Ermina Donham, who taught chemistry in Whiting, Indiana and was Mom's aunt. Alva grew up in the big white house near 5th and Madison that is being remodeled. *** Senior class officers in 1911 were Lawrence Schmitt, Mabel Todd, Margaret Tipton -- who may have been a pastry lover, and Homer Rutledge. Class members included Lester Abele, Ettie Flehr, Elma Smith, Ruth Koegle, George Jenkins, Mildred Clark, William Owrey, and Don Shattuck -- whose father was Dr. Charles Shattuck. Don's uncles William and John Shattuck were also doctors. Dr. John once owned a race course on the east bank of Symmes Creek less than two miles NW of Symmes Valley high school, and his cousin Jack was a well-known musician who is buried in a New Orleans mausoleum. Other class members were Fay Henry, Henrietta Cronacher, Cliff Ulrich, Leonard Howell, Donald Wieteki, who was probably related to Jean Wieteki, former first grade teacher at Central school; John Hayes, Kavene Compton, George Peters of the iron family, Margaret Shields, Ray Friel, Elmer Stickler, and Hazel Frecka. Charles Rudmann may have been a relative of the Rudmanns who ran a grocery store and livery service. Others were Floress Wieteki, Grace Wilson, Dorothy Horn, Vernon Willis, Gladys Ketter, and Chester Casey, who became a doctor with offices at 702 S. 3rd and helped start Lawrence County General Hospital. Louis Mahle, backstop and leader of the baseball team, was the son of John and Frances Maurer Mahle who were married in 1892 at St. Joseph church by Father Schmitt. Thirty-five seniors graduated in 1911. ** The Owl was dedicated to the memory of Beatrice Halley, who died January 11, 1911 of typhoid fever, and Harold Raine, who was killed by a train while working near the tracks for a lumber company. There were at least a dozen railroad crossings back then. ** The baseball team, led by catcher Louis Mahle, went undefeated that spring. They were so good that Portsmouth, Wellston and Charleston, WV refused to play them. There was no basketball team due to lack of a suitable place to play. The football team had players but no coach, yet they did compete. ** Here's two 1911 jokes. 1. Miss Gabler said to a student in music class, "Don't look at me in that tone." 2. He -- There's one thing I like about you. She -- What is that. He -- My arm. In 1911, after two years dry, Ironton merchants led the wet movement and the city voted itself wet once again. It remained that way until Prohibition.

Hi! Here's a lengthy obituary with a nice summary of the family (except for his wife and children). - Jean Griesan Colorado Died on Wednesday morning Nov. 20th, at 6 o'clock, Maj. CHARLES KELLEY, in the 66th year of his age, a well known citizen of Lawrence county. Major Kelley was born on Clinch river, in Russell Co., Va., in a frontier settlement, much harassed in the day of his childhood by Indian wars. He was the fourth child of Luke and Mary Kelley, who were both born and raised in what is now Page Co., Va., the former of Irish parents, and the latter (Mary Keyser) of German, and who were married quite young and quite poor; but who succeeded through their energy in acquiring a competency. Their children were John, now living below Union Landing, in his 77th year, hale and hearty; Elizabeth, deceased, the wife of Judge Nathaniel Davisson; Joseph, deceased, the father of W. D. Kelley, of Ironton; Charles, the subject of this notice; Joshua, now living near Union Landing, father of Rev. Jas. M. Kelley; Mary, married to Vincent Powell, of Greenup Co., Ky., and now the wife of Henry Hayes of that county, and Judge Reuben Kelley, now living near Plattsburg, Mo. In August 1798, when Charles was about 7 years old, his parents removed to the Northwest Territory, and settled near where they died, at Union Landing. The cabin was on the place now owned by S. W. Dempsey, and at that time there were but five other cabins in what is now Lawrence county, one opposite the mouth of Big Sandy, Luke Kelley's and four still lower down the river. The county was not then surveyed, and the residents were "squatters." It was thus in frontier settlements, amid hardships and privations, that Charles Kelley had his birth and raising. He grew up to be a stout athletic man. He was an enterprising citizen and a kind neighbor; and was a member of the Baptist Church for some forty years - and leaves a wide circle of relatives and friends. Ironton Register, November 27, 1856

Hi! Here's another obituary. - Jean Griesan Colorado Died on the 15th day of March, 1868, near Metropolis City, Illinois, Mrs. Rosabel, wife of A. D. Bumgarer, and daughter of Thos. Davisson, of Hamilton township of this county, aged 20 years 8 months and 1 day. Ironton Journal, Wednesday, April 22, 1868

Hi all! Here's another obituary. - Jean Griesan Colorado Died at the residence of her daughter, near Coal-grove, O., April 14, A. D. 1868, Mrs. Elizabeth Hankins, formerly widow of James Sperry, of Perry Township. She died as she had predicted the day before, calmly, peacefully, having full confidence in her Savior, when she had served more than half of her life. She was seventy-seven years of age, and a member of the Zoar Baptist Church. She left a large circle of friends to mourn her loss; but our loss is her eternal gain. "Mother thou art gone to rest, From sorrow, pain and death thou art free." Ironton Journal, April 22, 1868

Hi! Here are two obituaries that were tied together. - Jean Griesan Colorado Died in Ironton, Wednesday, July 14, 1869, Sarah A., daughter of Mrs. Jane Argo, and wife of Mr. Thomas R. Butler, aged 28 years 4 months and 6 days. Died in Ironton, July 18, 1869, Charles William, infant son of Thomas R. and Sarah A. Butler, aged 1 month and 14 days. A home made lonely and desolate in less than a week. Ironton Journal, July 21, 1869

Hi! Here's another lengthy obituary. - Jean Griesan Colorado Died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Jane Nixon, in Ironton, Ohio, on June 24th, Mrs. Jane Amlin, wife of Henery M. Amlin, in the 37th year of her age. "Jennie" was much averse to eulogies upon the dead, but we cannot forbear this tribute of affection to our departed one, though feeble it be. She had many friends. Perhaps few could count as many as she. None knew her but to love her. With her the poor and suffering ones always found sympathy. Kind-hearted almost to a fault, she never turned any empty away. During her illness of five and a half years, she ever manifested a patient and cheerful Christian spirit, never once murmuring at God's providence in thus afflicting her. Her illness was one of unusual suffering, and her constant prayer was that her Heavenly Father would give her grace to bear and rejoice at his pleasure. Self was forgotten in solicitude for those who ministered unto her, often silently suffering rather than discommode her friends. As a wife, she was most affectionate, and always solicitous for the welfare and comfort of her husband, endeavoring to her utmost, to make home cheerful and happy. As a mother her heart went out in yearning for her little one, and daily was her heart lifted in prayer to God for strength and guidance to train him aright. As a friend, she was constant and true. Many have gladly received her friendly counsel and cheer. Many are the tokens, dear one, of thy loving and sympathizing heart. Many are thy words of cheer and comfort treasured in our hearts. She was much in communion with her Savior, and felt the importance of laboring for his cause, as the following lines, found among her writings, will indicate. Several words which seemed to express the feelings of her heart, were underscored. They are dated December 11, 1866: "Let me not die before I've done for Thee My earthly work; whatever it may be. Call me not hence with mission unfulfilled - Let me not leave my space of ground untilled. Impress this truth upon me; That not one Can do my portion that I leave undone; For each one in Thy vineyard hath a spot To labor in for life, and weary not. To work where'er Thou'lt wish my labor spent. I want a spirit passive, to be still, And by thy power to do Thy holy will. And when the prayer unto my lips doth rise, Before a new home doth my soul surprise, Let me accomplish some work for Thee. Subdue it, Lord! Let my petition be. Oh, make me useful in this world of Thine, In ways according to Thy will, not mine." While our hearts bleed because of our loss, we cannot wish thee back to thy life of suffering, dear one. We feel that our loss is her unspeakable gain, and that it is well with her. May all her friends strive as earnestly to serve Christ as she did, since she chose Him for her portion. H. Ironton Journal, July 7, 1869
