Daughter Flora was married in 1873 to L. A. Rous. Mary and "W" Benedict were listed as witnesses at her wedding. The 1875 Wisconsin State census list Willis as Head of Household with 3 males and 2 females in the house. 1880 Census finds Mary head of house with Herbert and Lizzie living in Washington State. Willis and Hirum are there as well living in different houses. My guess is Isaac died sometime between 1870 and 1873. I would love to find his grave if possible. Any link to cemeteries in the area would be greatly appriciated. He doesn't come up on the Wisconsin State internet death index. Thanks Layne Bachman Spokane WA

Schoff and she is referred to as Mrs. Hannah Joyal in his obituary published in the Adams County Press of 5 September 1891. I just ran across a convincing piece of evidence that Hiram is indeed her father as you suggest. The Vital Records of Dana Massachusetts have an entry for Hannah D. Joyle, born 25 Oct 1843 of parents Hiram Joyle and Clarinda. That seems to nail down her parentage. It also now seems likely that Hannah gave birth to Hiram D. out of wedlock or was married to a man that she wanted to forget so chose not to use his name. We will probably never know what really happened. At this point I have not found any reference to any other marriage or the birth of Hiram D. There is a Hannah Joyle listed in 1860 New Hampshire census (Nashua, Hillsborough County - factory worker living in a boarding house) but there is nothing definitive to connect her to our Hannah although I feel fairly certain that it is her. The age on the census form and her date of birth fit as does the fact the Hiram D. was born in New Hampshire so we know that she lived there for a time. Nashua is only 8 miles from Litchfield where Hiram was living in 1860. Researching Hiram D. has been unproductive so far except for census listings all of which reflect a different place of birth for his parents.

I just recently found a connection between my Oswego County, NY Spragues and Hiram Merriman who moved from Oswego to Lincoln in Adams county between 1870 and 1880. I have quite a bit of information on the Sprague ancestry in NY and New England. Would like to know if anyone in this area of Wisconsin might have any old photos and documents relating to Hiram, Columbia and their descendants. I believe they lived in the county at least to the 1900 census. In 1880, their children were Ida, age 21, Belle, age 20, Grace, age 18, James, age 16, Ward, age 9 and Myrtin (Martin?), age 5. Columbia's brother, Oliver P. Sprague is a gg grandfather to me. Any info appreciated!

Wanted to let you know that in the 1880 Census WI Adams County Springville there is a Hiram Joel/Joyal listed as step son in the household of Jessie & Hannah Schoff.

The Hiram D Joel/Joyal who married Mrs. Ella Page in Adams County, WI Apr 7, 1901 was her son. Note: Hannah is buried is White Creek Cemetery, Adams Co. WI Along with husband Jessie and others.

Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.adams/1552.2.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: According to Hannah J. Schoff's death certificate her parents were Hiram Joel and Clerenda Joel. She was born in Worcester, Mass on 24 October 1843 and died 6 April 1887. The person signing the certificate was Hiram Joel. Also, according to Wisconsin vital records Hiram Joyal married a Delia Walden 6 April 1871 and Hiram and Delia are living in Portage (Columbia) Wisconsin in 1900. Census says Hiram was born Jan 1817 in Vermont. This Hiram cannot be Hannah's husband nor her son. I believe her father is Hiram Joyal. Hiram died 28 Jan 1901 in Adams county according to Adams County death records. Please help me make sense out of all this.

Gray, the young man from Grand Rapids, Wis., who went to Alaska with a party of Wood County friends in April, 1896, returned home last Sunday morning, to spend the winter and return to Alaska in the spring. He and his companion located two claims and he says made big money. They located their claims in October, 1896, but were unable to work them until February, 1897. In an interview in the Milwaukee Sentinel, he says that he advises no one to attempt to make the trip to Klondike before next spring, for it is impossible to make it. He also advises those who go to go well provided with food and money enough to last them one year at least. The coldest weather they had last winter was 72 below and the average winter weather was 40 below. The mosquitoes and gnats were very bad and a great trial to the miners.

The tomatoes are of an extra early variety developed by Jung, the seed man of Randolph, Wisconsin, and named by him "Way-Ahead." A remarkable feature of the cluster is the fact that all the 13 tomatoes ripened practically at the same time and while they vary somewhat in size they are pretty much alike. The early varieties of tomatoes are never very large, but these are all of respectable size ranging from about one and one-half inches in diameter to more than two and one-half inches. They were all nice, clean skinned tomatoes, with no speck or spot of scab or rot on their surface. Dan told the editor there really were 14 tomatoes in the cluster when first sighted but he thoughtlessly picked one off before he realized that the cluster should be gathered intact that others might see what Adams soil can bring forth. He showed the place where the other tomato had been attached. August WALCZYK made a photograph of the remarkable cluster, a copy of which may be sent to "Believe It or Not" Riply, who should certainly be interested in anything so unusual.

Funeral services will be held at the home on the KURTH farm, this afternoon (Friday) with Roseberry brothers directing and Rev. W. J. DAVIES officiating. Burial will be in the cemetery at Plainville. Mr. HUTCHINSON has been subject to heart trouble for some time but was apparently in his usual state o health up to a very few moments before his death. He arose Tuesday morning and in company with his wife was at the barn doing the chores, the morning milking, etc., when he suddenly complained of a pain in his head. His wife aided him in reaching he houe and after he was seated she sought to telephone for a doctor. Death, however, came before any medical aid could reach him. Mr. HUTCHINSON has lived on the Kurth farm about three years and prior to that time occupied other farms in other parts of this county. He was born in February, 1876, and therefore was 61 years of age at the time of his death. No particulars of his life history are available at this writing. His wife was the only member of his family, there being no children. His mother is said to be living in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at the advanced age of 85 years, but there is no information as to brothers or sisters.
