Hi, this is my first posting to this list so please bear with me. I'm trying to trace the whereabouts of my GGG grandfather, John Fisk. Another Fisk researcher has him in Richmond, Crawford County, in 1850. A little background: John Fisk was born in 1789, place and parents unknown. He was in Otego, Otsego County, NY, by 1810. In 1813 he married 14-year-old Mary Stilwell, also of Otego. They had a farm and lived in Unadilla, next to the Otego line, and had 10 children. The last we see John and Mary on the Unadilla census is 1840. Mary was supposed to have died in Owego, Tioga County, NY, in 1849, but she is buried in Unadilla. According to this other Fisk researcher, John shows up in Richmond in the 1850 census (Microfilm #771, page 356, dwelling # 1636). I am not clear whether he was living by himself or with his purported sister, Hannah Wood. Hannah and her husband Isaiah had left for Michigan by 1860. The John on this census is age 60, which would be my John's age. John Fisk died in 1878 and is buried in Unadilla. The Unadilla town clerk does not have a death record on him. Could some kind soul on this list do a lookup and see what you can find on John in Richmond? Were there any other Fisks there during this period? Any help would be deeply appreciated.

"Fatally Burned by Crude Oil, Formerly a Resident of Linesville" - From the National, Knox, Clarion County: Thursday, July 13th, the neighbors of Urban Mong, living near Elk City station, were startled by heart-rendering cries and the sight of fire, which revealed the sad truth that Mrs. Lillian Mong had been terribly burned by crude oil while she and her husband were attempting to burn out a chicken house. This sad occurrence terminated in the death of Mrs. Mong, after more than 24 hours of intense suffering. Those who witnessed the distressing scene say it was beyond description. The funeral of Miss Ida Mell Morrow occurred Sunday at the home of her mother, Mrs. M. Morrow, south of this place, Rev. G.A. King conducting the services which were beautiful and touching. The younger lady was in her 22d year, and passed away Friday morning, after an illness of over a year. Her friends were legion whose tenderness and aid through illness was not forgotten in the last sad rites. Interment took place in Linesville cemetery, where she sleeps beside the father and a brother. BEARDSLEY - At Monroe, O.; Sept. 12th, 1899, of typhoid fever, James L.

Below are clippings from several scrapbooks we have at the Linesville Historical Society. Please enjoy them, and I hope you are able to make a connection! Hon. R.P. Miller died at his home here April 11th, 1899, aged 82 years. He was a native of Lawrence county, coming to Linesville in 1846. Was admitted to the Crawford county bar in 1853, elected to the Legislature in 1858 and re-elected in 1859. He was elected justice of the peace year after year. With the going out of his life the community is bereft of one of its most respected citizens, and one of whose places as a counselor of local historical data can never be filled. He leaves a wife and adopted son, W.I Miller of Cygnet, O. Funeral was held at the United Presbyterian church of which he was a member, Friday, Rev. Curry officiating. HARMON YOUNG - Died April 12th (my note - 1899), at his home in Pine township, in the 66th year of his age. He was ill only five days - unconscious from the effect of an apoplectic stroke of paralysis. During his previous life he enjoyed the best of health. For upwards of 30 years he lived in this community - his parents moving from Western New York when he was young. He leaves a wife, four sons - Melvin H., Lester H., who reside in Eastern Crawford, Fred and George; two daughters, Mrs. Behm, of Erie, and Mrs. Stevens. Funeral was held at Baptist Church, Rev. Hazen officiating. OBITUARY - Mary E., wife of the late Hiram Ford, died at the residence of her son, E.A. Ford, Pine township, April 29th, 1899. She was born Sept. 22, 1837 in Williamsfield township, Ashtabula county, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Ford were married in 1858. In 1864 they moved to this place where Mr. Ford engaged in the lumber business, previous to agricultural pursuits on the farm on which the subject of this sketch spent her last days. Three sons and two daughters survive. Funeral was held yesterday at the home, services conducted by Rev. H.H. Clare, of the Methodist Church of which she was a member since her residence here. Interment in Linesville cemetery. Brad Akens died at his home in North Shenango township, April 27th, 1899, aged 36 years. La grippe and typhoid complications precipitated heart failure. Several consultations of physicians proved unavailing, with every effort known to save his life. He had over-worked physically and mentally. He was a teacher last year in the Linesville schools, and was teaching country school at the time his illness overtook him. He leaves an orphan - a six-year-old daughter. His parents, four brothers and two sisters survive him. Funeral was held Sunday, Rev. G.A. King, officiating. Linesville K.O.T.M. lodge attended in a body, deceased being a member of the order at New Castle, and leaving insurance of $1,000. "ACCIDENTAL POISONING - Child of C.W. Davis Died Friday" - One of the saddest deaths occurring in our town for many years, was that of Ruth, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Davis, aged 11 months and 26 days, which occurred Friday. The child, while tottling about the floor discovered a piece of cheese which had previously been sprinkled with arsenic and placed behind a dresser, with precaution, far out of reach of human fingers, but through the work of mice, undoubtedly, had become dangerously misplaced; innocently the little one proceeded to eat it. As soon as the fact became known a physician was summoned but to no avail, and the child died about four hours after. Funeral took place Sunday afternoon. Rev. Clare conducting the services. The grief-stricken parents have the sympathy of the community in their heart-rending affliction. STILLING - At Sharon, June 11, 1899, Mrs. Sadie Stilling, aged about 27 years. Deceased was a daughter of J.W. Kerr, formerly of this place. One more post to follow on Page 16. Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net

Thanks to the Gilliland part 3 post that Kathy Brubaker made here, I was able to fill in a large section of my tree. Nancy Page Gilliland, my 3x greatgrandmother was mentioned in the post. My grandmother was able to recall back to Frank Gilliland, her son. Since the article mentioned Nancy's husband and his father, that made my task easier. Since my 4x great-grand father, Samuel Gilliland, Sr is listed, that solves that. I was also able to trace his wife's family back quite a bit, (thanks to other's work on the net). Goes back to Thomas Garwood my 10x great grandfather and Francis Shinn my 12th great-grandfather. OF course, I have a lot of pieces to fill in, but through this list I have found 464 names of ancestors and relatives. Also I know that I am cousins with two of my gggggrandmothers :>)) If you are reading these posts, read well, cause you don't know what you may find! Anyone researching similar names, let me know and maybe we can help each other. Thanks and a special thanks to Kathy Brubaker and Pat Vedner. ::: Rob ::: Currently working on: Gilliland, Oates, Partch, Garwood, Paden, Page, Chason

Crockett (note different spelling) died Sunday, at his home, aged 56 years, 9 months and 24 days. He had been afflicted with Bright’s disease for past two years but had been confined to house only four days. He was born on farm which was his home; being absent a few years when a young man while engaged in mercantile business with his brother, James, at Summit Station, and also was in livery business in Linesville and Jefferson, O., at different periods. He leaves a wife and two young sons, and a son and two daughters by former marriage - Mrs. L.G. Bollard, Thomas and Miss Gladys. Funeral sermon by Rev.

Thayer Dies at Age of 90 Years - Saturday, August 27th, Daniel C. Thayer, ten days past the 90th year of his age, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George P. White, this place. He took severe cold a week ago which caused inflammation of the lungs, which failed to afford him the breathing capacity of former years, owning to fatty growth. During his life, he was sick once with fever and ague and experienced an accident culminating in a broken leg. Deceased was born in Concord, Vermont, in 1808. His parents moved to Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1814 where he remained until 1854 when he bought the farm of 300 acres or more in Pine township on which he resided until he retired from arduous labor. While residing in Bloomfield township, O., he raised the first barn put up in that country without the use of liquor as a treat. He was an organizer of the Wm. Lloyd Garrison abolition party which refrained from voting on the ground that in voting, by common consent one agreed to acquiesce in the will of the majority, thus believing that they would stultify themselves in exercising franchise, in case pro-slavery voters won an election. After Lincoln’s proclamation freeing the salves was issued, Mr. Thayer voted for Lincoln. Afterwards he became a Greenbacker, and in recent years an adherent of the People’s party. He is survived by his wife who is 84 years of age and enjoying good health, and ten of thirteen children - Garrison C. of Chautauqua, N.Y.; Charles F. of Atlantic; Parker M. and Clark S., of Canton, O.; Solon C., of Newton Falls, O.; Mrs. Hart, of Roanoke, Va.; Mrs. G.P.

Below are clippings from several scrapbooks we have at the Linesville Historical Society. Please enjoy them, and I hope you are able to make a connection! Mrs. Libbie Frey - died Monday, March 28, 1898, of typhoid pneumonia, after an illness of only ten days. She was in fairly good health during the first day which marked the beginning of her sickness, having been stopping and attending to various duties. From the very start, the disease gained on her strength so rapidly that all medical aid was of no avail, and her near friends gave no hope of recovery almost from the start. Libbie (Sigler) Frey was born in Conneaut township, Crawford county, September 17, 1844; married to Stewart S. Frey, January 11, 1879. Her husband, invalid mother, one sister and two brothers survive her, and with them many relatives and friends mourn the loss of a dear friend. Funeral will be held at the house Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’ clock. Rev. B.L. Perry officiating; interment in Linesville Cemetery. GRAHAM - At Meadville, May 19, 1898, Rev. John Graham, aged 82 years. He was at one time pastor of Linesville M.E. Church. He was an active preacher for 53 years. In 1842 he was married and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary in 1892. He has a son presiding elder of Jamestown. Obituary, Oil City Blizzard, June 6, 1898: Rose, the beloved wife of J.S. Kerr, passed from life at the family residence, Hoffman avenue, at 1:45 this Monday morning. The cause of her death was typhoid pneumonia, and its suddenness and all the attendant circumstances tend to make it one of the saddest deaths reported for a long time. That evening, after returning, she complained of a headache, and during the night became so much worse that a physician was called the next morning. Everything that medical science or loving kindness could suggest was done to prolong her life, but all to no avail, and she passed away at the hour designated, less than a week from the time she was taken ill. Besides her husband she is survived by two children, a son six years of age and a daughter of seven months; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Shellito, of North Shenango township, Crawford County, where she was born, two sisters and a brother. Death is always terrible, come in what form it may, but it seems peculiarly sad when, as in this case, the victim is only 29 years and 4 months of age, in the prime of life, a wife and mother - one whose thoughtful care is needed by the children, and whose taking away leaves the husband in a most pitiable condition. Mrs. Kerr was a valued and active member of the U.P. Church, a good neighbor, a loving wife and a kind mother. Mrs. Sarah Shattuck - The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Shattuck was held this afternoon at 3pm at Universalist church, Rev. O.R. Washburn, officiating; very large concourse of people witnessed the last rites performed; interment Linesville cemetery. Her death occurred Sunday afternoon, aged 73 years. Some weeks ago she fell while working about the house and the thought is entertained that she then had a paralytic stroke, as death resulted from that disease. Her husband, Horatio Shattuck, enlisted in the three months service in the Rebellion, contracted disease, came home and died of pneumonia, in winter of 1863-64. Of three children those living are son Fred who is now in the Alaska gold fields and daughter, Mrs. Ida Stratton. Aunt Sarah, as she was known to friends as well as relatives, will be greatly missed by all her acquaintances. Her sunshine disposition and helping hand will be known no more among us, but her memory always remains. (my note - per Linesville Cemetery Index she was born 2/1/1825 and died 6/12/1898) John G. Gaugh died at this place, Thursday morning, in the 78th year of his age. In 1890, Thanksgiving day, he was stricken with paralysis, recovering after weeks of illness to extent of being able to get about quite comfortably till within the past year. Saturday previous to his death he suffered a second and fatal stroke. Deceased was born in Fayette county, this State, Sept. 24, 1820; his parents moved to North Shenango township, Crawford county, while he had not yet attained his majority. He married Miss Louiza Trace, of Shenango; three children blessed the union, a daughter died in infancy and the only son at age of 30, in 1882; Mrs. O.H. Cram, of this place, is only surviving heir. In 1870 he moved to Linesville and went into the mercantile trade, retiring in 1884. A brother at St. Joseph, Mo., and sister, Mrs. Jane Collins, of North Shenango, are living. Deceased was member of Universalist Church, his pastor, Rev. Washburn officiating at funeral. Linesville, I.O.O.F. lodge took charge of burial services; interment in Linesville cemetery. He was a member of the order over 45 years, holding seniority among Linesville Odd Fellows. He carried life insurance of $1000 in Western Pa. Odd Fellows Relief Association of Titusville.

“J. K. Raleigh’s Suicide. Despondent Over Long Idleness.” - James K. Raleigh was 49 years old as will be seen by the Pittsburgh Dispatch’s account of his suicide. He came to Linesville in 1868, from Erie where he had been clerk in the treasurer’s office of the Erie & Pittsburgh railroad company when the late W.L. Scott was president, and when J. Frank Allen, now in employ of the company at this place, was in the train dispatcher’s office, at that time, Mr. Raleigh remained station agent of the company here until 1881 when he was given the Meadville agency of the Meadville & Linesville railroad which had been leased to the Pennsylvania Company. He held that position several years, in 1885 going into the mercantile trade at this place, under the firm of Raleigh & Co., in the Bowman building which was burned in the fire of 1891. Previous to his departure from this place, in 189, he was in the grocery trade alone. In moving to Allegheny he acquired a lucrative position in the city offices of the office of the Pittsburgh & Western railroad which he held until the spring of the present year. By the following account it will been he had acquired a position shortly before his death, having been without work for several months. When at work he was considered an accurate railroad man and for his one affliction was more than once in line for high position. He was of extreme nervous temperament, generally in the height of exhilaration, or the extreme of bluest of despondency. Funeral was held at his Allegheny home Sunday and remains conveyed to this place Monday and interred in Linesville cemetery under the direction of Linesville Council, Royal Arcanum, of which he was a $3,000 beneficiary member. He leaves a wife and two children; and mother and two sisters of Brockton, N.Y. From Pittsburgh Dispatch - James K. Raleigh, a clerk 49 years old, living with his wife and children a 105 Taylor avenue, Allegheny, shot himself in the brain, Friday morning, and died in 15 minutes. He was despondent became he had been out of work for six months and had been drinking some. He was formerly employed in the Pittsburgh & Western Railroad offices and lost his place there early in the year. Recently he obtained a clerkship in the office of H.K. Porter & Co., locomotive builders. Last Wednesday his wife said he had a fainting spell. His son, H. Monte Raleigh, said his father had been drinking on that day. At any rate, he had a fall, and hurt his head. He remained at home Thursday. The next morning he said he did not feel well and did not arise. While his wife and family were eating breakfast, they heard a shot up stairs. Mrs. Raleigh and the son hurried up stairs and found the man lying on his bed with a bleeding wound in his right temple. In his right hand he clutched an old pepperbox revolver. Raleigh’s son ran to the store of Kennedy Robb in Palo Alto street and Mr. Robb called Dr. John Crombie, of Montery street. The man died soon after the physician’s arrival. Coroner McDowell held an inquest, the outcome of which was a verdict of suicide. The son said his father had threatened, two or three times, when he was intoxicated, to take his life. The wife, Mrs. Georgia Raleigh, told of her husband’s long idleness and despondency, described his fall of Wednesday and related the circumstances of the suicide. On to page 12!
