Surnames: Brown, Timmons, Kendall Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GZB.2ACI/962 Message Board Post: See page 433, 1887 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF COLES COUNTY, ILLINOIS "CHARLES F. BROWN, residing on section 10, Ashmore Township, first opened his eyes to the light on the farm on which he now owns and occupies, and where for several years he has been carrying on farming and stock-breeding. He is yet comparatively young in years, but has already established himself upon a firm basis, and ranks among the representative men of Coles County, and one closely identified with its agricultural interests. The birth of our subject took place Sept. 7, 1848. His parents, William H. and Emily (Olmstead) Brown, were natives of New York State. The former was born in 1813, and came to this township in 1837, locating upon a tract of timber land, where he opened up a good farm, which he occupied and cultivated until 1882, when he retired from active labor. The mother was some years the junior of her husband, and died Oct. 12, 1886, passing to her final rest after a long and painful illness. She was a lady of amiable Christian character, and her memory is held most sacred in the hearts of children and friends. Her death took place Oct.12, 1886, and her remains were laid in the cemetery at Enon Church. Young Brown remained under the parental roof, assistng his parents until after reaching his majority, receiving a fair education and becoming thoroughly acquainted with the duties of farm life. One of the most important events of his early manhood was his marriage with Miss Elizabeth A. Timmons, which took place at the home of the bride's parents in Ashmore Township, Feb. 29, 1871, Mrs. Brown was born in Madison County, Ohio, Nov. 4, 1854, and is the daughter of Thornton A. and Mary A. (Kendall) Timmons, natives respectively of Fayette and Madison Counties, Ohio. They were of German ancestry, and possessed in a marked degree the reliable and substantial characteristics of the people of the Fatherland. Thornton A. Timmons was born Oct. 12, 1832, and his wife, Mary, Dec. 30, 1835. They were married, Nov. 17, 1853, in Madison County, Ohio. Mr. Timmons now owns a fine farm of 130 acres in Ashmore Township. Five of his brothers served as Union soldiers in the late war, all b! eing members of Company A, 123rd Ill. Vol. Inf. They enlisted in 1862, and served during the entire war, in which, although participating in most of its important battles, none ever received a wound. They were all about five feet and ten inches in height, and when standing in a row made a group of fine-looking men. One brother, Battle H., was taken ill at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and died there in the fall of 1863. Mr. Timmons had nine brothers and two sisters, namely, Salathiel, George B., Harrison, Leroy, Laban, John, Isaac, William, Cornelius, Sallie M. and Lucinda Jane. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Timmons were: Elizabeth; Margaret, now deceased; Frederick I. and Peter A. Mr. and Mrs. Brown became the parents of four children: Amy was born Feb. 10, 1873; Ora, Nov. 4, 1875; Mary E., born May 3, 1884, died in February, 1885; Hattie E. was born in 1886. The homestead includes ninety-five acres, thirty-four of which is valuable timber, and the balance carefully cultivated. The stock and farm implements are of the best description and well cared for, and the premises are kept in good shape. Mr. and Mrs. Brown enjoy in a large degree the respect and esteem of their neighbors, and for some years have been actively connected with the Missionary Baptist Church, of which, our subject is a Trustee and one of the chief pillars. He is a strong temperance man, favoring prohibition measures, and politically, since exercising the right of suffrage, has uniformly cast his vote with the Republican party." !

I had the opportunity to visit the genealogical research room at the library. Upon returning home and reviewing my materials I found two newspaper articles that I would have liked to look up but probably due to time constraints missed them while visiting. If there a volunteer at the research room that would do this look-up for me, it would certainly be appreciated.

My GGGrandmother's name was Malissa Ann Betts and she had a sister named Missouri. They both lived in Madison Co. in the mid to late 1800's. Malissa was born Sept. 20, 1848. She married my GGGrandfather Enoch Henry about 1865 in Madison Co., OH. Her mother's name was Sathrona Wells (dau. of James Wells) and her father was a James Betts b. bef. 1827. I wonder if this James Betts was somehow related to your Betts family. Thus far, I have no further information on her father. Just thought it would be fun to share - just in case. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of amy@busick.org Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 10:32 PM To: OHMADISO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHMadison] Re: Edward Betts & Elizabeth "Lizzie" (Newhouse) Betts Info This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
