    2. Dawn Amos
    3. I'm looking for descendants of Thomas STOVER and Sarah HELTMAN. Thomas and Sarah were married in OH in 1840. Sometime between 1846 and 1850, they moved to Stephenson Co, IL. In 1854, they moved to Browntown, Cadiz Twsp, Green Co. There were 10 children of the marriage: Mary Catherine STOVER, b. 1841, OH, m. Isaiah MICHAEL, 1863, in Browntown, d. 1920 in NE Lydia STOVER, b. 1844, OH; marriage and death unknown Lucy STOVER, b. 1846, OH; marriage and death unknown Henry STOVER, b. 1850, IL, m. Fanny WHITE, 1871, Cadiz Twsp, death unknown Joseph STOVER, b. 1854, WI; marriage and death unknown Sarah Jane STOVER, b. 1854, WI, m.

Emma TRICKLO, 1883, Martin, Green Co Elizabeth STOVER, b. unknown, m. James WHITE, 1871, Monroe, Green Co I'm descended from Mary STOVER and Isaiah MICHAEL. I'd love to find STOVER descendants, and I'm especially interested in any picture(s) of Sarah which might still be in existence. I have seen (and will be getting a copy of) a picture of Sarah's mother, and I have a picture of Mary Catherine. I have been unable to place Thomas in any STOVER family so far, and would love to find other researchers who may have more information than I, or who are as stumped as I am! Dawn Amos Olympia, WA

Phelps, peacefully passed away, closing a life of quiet toil and usefulness. She was of Vermont parentage, of a family of 9. Mrs. Phelps was born in Vermont, Dec. 12, 1820, and passed the first 15 years of her life near Burlington, Vt. She subsequently moved to Dixon, Ill and later to Wisconsin. In 1840 she married Mr. John Calif, and of this union was born her daughter, Mrs. N.B. Murrey and again in 1856 she was married to Mr. E. B. Phelps and of this second marriage two sons now living and one daughter, now deceased, were born. Mrs. Phelps lived for over 30 years in Green County and was well and favorably known for her fortitude and her sunny disposition under toil and cares. When a few weeks ago she became ill with a throat difficulty she was taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. N.B. Murrey, and there received loving and careful attention and everything that could be done was done to add to the comfort of the closing days of her life. Mrs. Phelps was never identified with any church, but she belonged to the great church invisible and she believed in her Redeemer and His Word. A kind and sympathetic friend and a loving and most self sacrificing mother has passed away. The funeral, which took place on Wednesday, Oct. 30 1889 was largely attended. Her remains were taken to the Gap Church, and after appropriate ceremonies conducted by the Rev. R.N.Martin, were laid to rest beside those of her husband in the cemetery at that place. NOTE: I believe the name Piersons mentioned in the beginning might be her maiden name.

    3. Posted on: Green Co. Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenObits/10502 Surname: Murrey, Wright, Califf ------------------------- Albany, Green County, Wisconsin Vindicator, December, 1889 In Memoriam-The many friends of Mr. Napoleon B. Murrey have long been expecting that he would be called away, but few of them realized what remarkable vitality and tenacity of life he possessed. He was finally released from the most excrutiating pain last Tuesday, December 10, 1889 at five minutes before six, when he confidently and willingly passed to the life beyond. Napoleon B. Murrey was the oldest of five children born to William P. and Susan (Wright)Murrey, who were both natives of New York state. He was born in the state of Michigan August 29, 1840 and was six years old when he came to this state. His early life was spent in the town of Decatur and when he was 21 years old, on August 29, 1861, he enlisted in the 5th Wis. Light Artillery, and served until the expiration of his enlistment. Among the important battles in which he participated are: Island Number 10, the siege of Corinth and Jackson, Miss., Perryville, Ky., Stone River, and Chattanooga. At the latter place he was taken sick and sent to the hospital where he remained three months and was sent to Murfreesboro where he remained one year. He again joined his command at Atlanta, where, after participating in the capture of that city, he was honorably discharged and returned here. He was engaged in farming until 1871, when he went to Texas and remained two years, returning here to Green County. He gave up farming in 1874 and removed to the village of Albany, and in 1881 erected a business home on block 18, which was destroyed in the fire of 1878. He then built a brick 40x90, with a hall on the second story. He was married in June of 1865 to Abby Califf, a native of Dixon, Illinois. Mr. Murrey was a member of the Masonic Order and they took charge of and bore the expense of his funeral. On December 12, 1889, prominent Masons of Albany, Brodhead and Monroe and other neighboring places assembled in this place to the number of nearly 100. At 1:00 they marched to the residence of the late Mr. Murrey, preceded by the Albany Coronet Band. Here a short service was held, conducted by the Rev. R.N. Martin. His remains were then escorted to the Baptist Church, where an impressive service was held. The sermon was preached by the pastor of that church, assisted by Rev. J. Andereck, of Juda. The church was crowded to the utmost capacity, fully 400 people being present. The Masons then took charge of the remainder of the service, bearing the remains to the Albany Cemetery, where they were laid to rest with the beautiful and impressive Masonic ceremony. The entire service from beginning to end was most impressive and many who had known the deceased came to pay their last tribute to his memory. Thus a life of suffering was closed and we lost one who will be long missed from his usual place in our midst. All that love, friendship and science could do was done to relieve him of his sufferings and to make his closing hours as peaceful as possible.

Pryce, age 33 years, 7 months and 6 days. John Edwin Pryce was born two miles east of this village on the 19th day of January in 1856. He was always a dutiful and obedient child, and a great favorite among his playmates. He united with the Methodist Church of this place on the 24th day of October, 1874, and has remained a faithful member ever since. He was ever ready to defend the cause of Christ, and to aid the society of which he was a member in every possible way. He was a member of the choir for many years, and for several years was its leader, during which time the singing was excellent and the greatest harmony prevailed. He was particularly fond of music and was never so happy as when singing the songs of Zion. He was married to Miss Nelly May Maynard on August 21, 1878, to whom he has been the most tender, kind and loving husband and she the most faithful and loving companion. For the past six years he has been a great sufferer being attacked with astham, which gradually ran to consumption, which terminated his life on August 21, 1889. Through all his sickness and suffering he was always cheerful and had a pleasant word for everyone. During the last sickness he often expressed his unshaken faith in God, declaring his entire willingness to go, saying many times "Not my will but think, O Lord, be done". At one time he said to me "I desire you to preach my funeral sermon and I want you to tell the people that with me 'all is well'". Then as he remembered that for many weeks his voice was gone, he said: "I shall sing again, with Gracie" (Gracie referring to dear Graie Maynard, who passed away a few months ago).

She saw to it that on the Sabbath Day her children were not found desecrating it but were at Sunday School and church. She endeavored to "train them in the way they should go" and they have not forgotten it. Today they mourn their loss and behold the vacant chair of the one they loved. Between her and them is the narrow stream of death, but such will not always be. Theirs is the privilege to meet her; yes, to meet them again, where they will part no more. God grant that they may.

She was a very patient sufferer and bore up with Spartan courage in the great struggle with the dread disease. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson first came to Algona in 1871 and spent some time here; they then made their home in Howard County, Nebraska where they lived for some years. From there they went to Louisiana but the climate had a debilitating effect on her and they concluded to come north again and located in Algona. Deceased was born near Exeter, Green County, Wis. Jan 18, 1849 and lived in the home where she was born until she was married in 1871. Her married life was one of unalloyed happiness. They were blessed with six children, all of whom are living but one; the oldest being a boy of 19 years; the youngest a girl of seven years. Mrs. Patterson had a large circle of friends and those that knew her best loved her most. Honest and upright in all her dealings, with a high moral sense, to know her was sure to result in appreciation. She was thoroughly devoted to her family duties, believing that a Christian mother's duty commenced at home in the family circle, and then devoting what time she could spare to work in connection with Woman's Relief Corps, church work and the Eastern Star. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to the poor and unfortunate. To her family the loss is beyond reparation; to those that are privileged to know her in the home and social circle, a congenial and loving spirt will be missed; one that did what she could to smooth away the rough places in this mundane sphere. May we all emulate her many virtues. This entire community sympathize with Mr. Patterson and family in their great sorrow. The funeral was held at the home on Friday afternoon, Rev. W.E.Davidson of the Congregational Church of which she was a devoted member, officiating.

Six years later he married Sarah Boyls, and in that year, 1847, bought a farm in Mt. Pleasant, residing there until five years ago. In 1886 he built the fine frame house in East Albany in which he died, doing the greater part of the work with his own hands. Mr. Morton was an honest, upright citizen, a good neighbor, a man whose word was as good as his bond. By industry and economy he acquired a competency to support him in his declining years, and it was hoped he would long live to enjoy it; but on Thursday last he sustained a paralytic stroke, surviving the shock but one day. The funeral services were held in the Baptist Church on Monday afternoon, Rev. R. N. Martin of Evansville delivering a beautiful and impressive sermon to a large concourse who gathered to pay the last sad respects to one universally loved and esteemed. A sorrowing wife and eight children are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father, to whom the sincere sympathy of the entire community is extended.

Bartlett. He was born November 21, 1879, being only 11 years and 5 months old. Thus a young and hopeful life has suddenly come to an end. Willie was taken ill on Thursday of last week with la grippe, which immediately went to the brain, and did its fatal work in three days. Monday morning at 5:00 Willie's intense suffering was over and the youthful spirit released. This was a shock to everybody for he was well known and no one knew him but to love him. He was an unusually bright boy, possessing rare qualities not often developed in one so young; observing, active, full of life, innocent in his play, thoughtful of others. No son could make a mother feel prouder. Willie was a regular at Sunday school and took great interest in his class. The funeral was held from the Baptist Church Wednesday at 2:00 Rev. R. N. Martin of Evansville, officiating, assisted by Rev. H.A. Rogers. The school children marched in the procession and helped to make the service at the cemetery impressive by marching by the open grave and throwing in their handfuls of flowers. The large concourse of people who attended the funeral was but an indication of the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The afflicted family, while they have Divine compassiion in the lonely hours, can but feel that they also have the sincere sympathy of their many friends.

A. Jones The many friends of Mrs. E.A. Jones, who left Albany a few short weeks ago, to join her husband in Knoxville, Tennessee, will be greatly grieved and shocked to learn of her death, which occurred on the 17th inst. We publish below a letter from Mrs. Addison DeCondres giving the particulars. Editor of the Vindicator: Mrs. E. A. Jones, formerly of Albany, Wisconsin, died in Knoxville, Tennessee, Wednesday, June 17 at 8 pm in her home, 1008 Forest Avenue, of congestion of the stomach. She was only sick one week. During her brief illness she showed a true, patient Christian spirit and was ready to say "Thy Will Be Done". Although their stay in Knoxville was of a short duration, still by their gentle, loving ways and Christian lives they have won the respect and admiration of many people. Tender, loving hands laid this dear sister to rest, but her faithfulness to her husband in his late illness, and faith and trust in her Savior will long be remembered by her friends here. Brother Jones has the warmest sympathy of friends here in his bereavement and every attention will be rendered to help forward his recovery. He would like to write to his friends but is unable to do so. He wishes the prayers of the many friends that he may be able to accomplish the work that the Master has spared him for, great or small.
