In her farm house on the Clark farm in the northeast corner of Hopewell Township, Perry County, Ohio, in the summer of 1828, Ada Orr Clark, cleaned up her four children, dressed her eldest child, Betty Jean (9), in her best dress, John Evan(7), in his knickers, Anna Louise (4), in a frilly dress, William Holmes (8 months) also in a cute little dress. She loaded them in her buggy and drove them the mile or so to Mount Perry. They visited with "Aunt Tillie." She was the widow, Matilida Eversole. She was born Oct 7, 1850. Her husband, Peter W. Eversole, born July 22, 1849, had died Sept 28, 1895. This important visit is remembered by BJ Clark Laube and she wonders why did they visit Aunt Tillie? BJ can't imagine her mother leaving the farmhouse work and taking her children to causally visit a friend. Aunt Tillie must be related, but we can not find the connection. Dean Harkness a descendant of the first Peter Eversole, and his cousin, William Ralston of Pittsburgh, recently told us about this Matilida. We then located them in the Mount Perry cemetery. They are buried in row 6 in Section A. Matilida died September 17, 1939. I have checked all the Clark, Orr, Bowser females born 1850, in our data base and I can't find Aunt Tillie. Could someone please check the marriage records of Perry County for about 1870 Matilida someone married Peter W. Eversole. If we don't find it in Perry County we will check Licking and Muskingum. Regards Hal
