| 4656 | Information from "We Relate" It looks like Peter and Barbara came to Canada sometime after 1833. They arrived in NY on the ship Marengo on Aug 1833. The entire family and their ages were listed on the passenger list and it states that they were from Prussia. Other Brick /Bruck families arrived in NY during the next few years. Some of them stayed in Buffalo, NY. It looks like Peter and Barbara left for Canada about 1835 and may have stayed a year or so in Rainham, in what is now Haldimand Co. Ontario. This is where some of Peter's supposed brothers settled. In an article sent to me by Donna Detzler Haid in Canada, Michael, Martin and Peter of Wilmot came from Sulzweiler. (Later we found out that this was Sotzweiler). The brother, Michael, that settled in Rainham, had sons named Peter, Nicholas and Michael. His son Peter married Mary Holdrid and moved to Bruce Co. and lived near the families of our Peter and Barbara. By 1838 Peter and Barbara had moved to Wilmot, Waterloo Co., Ontario. The baptism of Margaretha in 1838 is the earliest record in Waterloo Co., Ontario of the Peter and Barbara Brick family. The earliest land purchase by a Brick in Waterloo Co. was Peter Brick on 12 Mar 1840 in Wilmot B Concession 3 Lot 5. More land was purchased in June of 1841 in Concession 3. (Found on index of Land Records for Ontario.). The requirements for land purchase at that time were that you lived on and improved the land for 5 years before you could purchase it. So maybe our Peter came to Waterloo Co., in 1835 without the stop over in Rainham. The following is an excerpt from "The Catholic Church in Waterloo County, 1916" by Spetz, Theobald, C.R., D.D. "NEW PRUSSIA S.S. NO. 18 "Immigrants of Roman Catholic faith from Rhenish Prussia settled in the northwest corner of Wilmot Township, hence the name New Prussia. A mission of St. Agatha was organized and the Jesuit priests started a Separate School in the late 1840's. An outbreak of Saugeen Fever in the 1850's greatly diminished the population of the colony. As late as 1860 a three day mission was held by a Roman Catholic priest during the Easter season. About this time the building was dismantled and church services ceased. Family names were: Brick, Detzler, Schmidt, Lienhart, Fritz, Casper and Bucheidt." Just a note, Saugeen Fever was not a disease it was the moving on of the younger families to Bruce Co. Ontario. The next record that Peter appears in is the 1851-52 Census in Wilmot, Waterloo Co., Ontario, Canada. He is age 58 and Barbara is 56. Living with them at the time is Catherine age 16 listed as servant, Margaret age 13 listed as a servant and a three year old child Elizabeth (I was unable to make out the last name). They live next door to the Jacob and Anna Detzler. In 1861 in District 17, Township of Wilmot, in Waterloo Co ., there is Peter Brick age 66, born France and Barbara, age 60 born France. On a trip to Canada I found what looks like the death of Peter Brick in the records of St Agatha Church. If this is his death he died 2 April 1861. In 1871 Barbara Brick is living with son Michael and Mary in Bruce Co., Canada. There is a Barbara Brick buried at the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Formosa, Bruce Co., Ontario, Canada. She has an iron cross. Any information that may have been in the tiny plate on that cross is long gone. According to some records that Tom Brick (a cousin from MN) found Barbara lived to be 105. That would place her death about 1899/1900. I did not find Barbara in the 1881 or 1891 census. But she could of lived with another child that I have not stumbled across yet. There is no index for the census for those years. The story of why they left the Saarland area in Germany is not known. There have been many accounts written about that time period and the reasons why families immigrated to North America. We can only assume that our family came because of the same reasons. Some of those reasons were war and famine. . | Brick, Peter (I23894)

| 4657 | Information from Donna Haid of St. Clements, Ontario, 2016 The Detzlers came from Dirmingen, Saarland, Germany. At that time Saarland was a stand-alone country (disputed time and again by Germany and France for ownership) under the rule of Prussia. This small country was rich in forestry, minerals, salt, coal and steel as major manufacturing assets for economies. Anna Maria was the fourth daughter born to Jakob Detzler and Anna Riehm. Two years later the couple was blessed with a son, Nikolaus Detzler. The story goes, to avoid their son being conscripted to the Prussian army, the family emigrated from Germany to North America. Perhaps they travelled with like-thinking neighbours and families. The port of departure in August 1836 was Le Havre, France on the ship Rochinshon (spelling hard to decipher from the ship on-board ticket copies), arriving in New York the same year. Menno Hoover's poem is a romanticized version of what next transpired for your branch: a wonderful heirloom. The family left New York and arrived in Rainham, Ontario, Canada following word from fellow Mennonite travellers of available land in Queen's Bush, Wilmot Township, Ontario, Canada; many settled here. They established a Roman Catholic church and Catholic school in the hamlet named New Prussia, they farmed side by side. Quoted from More Than A Century In Wilmot Township: New Prussia settling in the north-west corner of Wilmot Township: "Immigrants of Roman Catholic faith from Rhenish Prussia named their new community New Prussia after the homeland they had just left. A Mission of St. Agatha was organized and Jesuit priests started a separate school in the latter 1840?s. With the outbreak of Saugeen Fever in the 1850's the colony's population was greatly diminished." The Roman Catholic History in Waterloo County states that as late as 1860 a three-day mission was conducted by a priest during the Easter season. Shortly after this time the church was dismantled and services ceased. Family names in use at this time were: Brick, Detzler, Schmidt, Lienhardt, Fritz, Casper and Bucheidt. We know "Saugeen Fever" was the name of the rush to move to new farmland in the Formosa, Ontario area, not a disease. In the farmhouse where Michael and Anna Maria (Detzler) Brick lived, at New Prussia in Wilmot Township, the current occupant, Ohmar Jantzi, has discovered the original deed to this land from the township and he kindly allowed me to copy it. . | Detzler, Jacob (I24000)

| 4658 | J. Edgar Hoover The first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. Appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation predecessor to the FBI in 1924, he was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972 at age 77. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized finger print file and forensic laboratories. . | Hoover, John Edgar (J.

| 4660 | James Matthew Hoover Memorial Garden at Sungei Merah Town. In 1904, he was appointed by Rajah Charles Brooke of Sarawak as the ?head of all the Sarawak Foochows?, a position he held until his death in 1935 at the age of 63. He discharged his responsibilities as a missionary and political leader well. In fact, it is fitting to call him the father of development of the Foochow community in Sibu as his emphasis on church establishment, education, social concern and economic development yielded far reaching results. According to the memorial, during his lifetime, he established 41 churches and 40 schools along the Rajang Basin in Sarawak where in 1904; he married Ethel Mary Young in Penang. In addition, he created history and modernised Sibu by pioneering a number of ?firsts? in Sibu, including planting the first rubber seedlings, rice huller, girls? school, agriculture school, bicycle, ice-making machine, circular saw and wireless telegraph machine. To commemorate his astounding contribution to the Foochow community in Sibu during those years, Hoover Memorial Garden was built in 2003 at Sungai Merah Town. It was officiated by the then Minister of Urban Development Tourism Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh in 2007. . | Hoover, James Matthews (I23778)

| 4666 | Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 5th ed., 1887, Jessamine Co. MICHAEL NAVE (or NEFF) was born in 1734 in Wurtemberg, Germany, and immigrated to this country about 1755, settled in Juniata County, Penn., and died in 1866. His son, Leonard Nave, was born in Juniata County, Penn., in 1768, and removed to Estill County, Ky., about 1790. He was a blacksmith by trade, and subsequently carried on the business in Lexington. He had two sons: Dr. Peter Nave and Jonathan Nave. Later in life Leonard removed to Jessamine and lived with his son Dr. Peter Nave, and was engaged in business at that place. He died in 1842 at the home of his son, Peter. Leonard had four sons: John, Dr. Peter, Michael (who settled in the neighborhood of Dayton) and Jonathan; four daughters: Mrs. Corman (of Jessamine County, Ky.), Mrs. Peter Hoover (of Jessamine County, Ky.), Mrs. John Dickerson (of Indiana) and Elizabeth Woodward. Jonathan Nave was born February 14, 1799, and was also a blacksmith. He settled in Jessamine County, about two miles from Nicholasville on the Lexington Pike. He purchased a farm where his son Jacob A. Nave now resides, engaged in the business of blacksmithing and continued in the business until about twelve years before his death, November 21, 1862. In 1829 he married Miranda Springer, of Kentucky, who was born in 1803 and died October 1, 1882. They had seven children: 1.) John L. Nave, who now resided in Pulaski County, was the first child. 2.) Jacob A. Nave, the second child, was born in 1832, and was reared on the old homestead where he still resides. At the death of his father he entered into partnership with his mother in managing the farm until her death, in 1882, when his brother James associated himself with him, and they are now engaged in working two farms, which contain 325 acres, and they are also extensively engaged in raising stock of various kinds, paying special attention to Shorthorn stock.

| 4668 | Letter from Rev. Alex Farquahar: One wonders at the coupling of John Arnott Lamb and his wife. A bachelor of 54 joining with one so much younger...and what kind of relationship it was. I have no date of her death. We DO know that Luther Powell Lamb, (John Wesley's younger brother) lived with a man name Giltner as a teenager. Giltner was a Mennonite and of German background. My wife Glennis remembers that her grandfather knew by heart some old German songs which he would have learned in the Giltner household. Giltner, by the way lived in the Gorrie, Ontario area. The youngest of John Arnott Lamb's family was Sarah Elizabeth Jane, born in 1873. All we know about her is that she had red hair and was adopted by a family named BELL. They lived in the USA and it appears the four brothers lost contact with her. John Arnott Lamb's wife was Elizabeth Powell. I am reasonably sure that she was a resident of Bastard Township which is not far from where the Lambs lived in the Athens, Ontario area. In the 1851 census of Bastard Township there is this record: Isaac Powell, age 44, born in New Brunswick a farmer and Baptist 1807 Sarah 46 B Nova Scotia 1805 Israel 17 NB 1834 Elizabeth 15 1832 Sarah J. 14 1831 Lewis 12 1829 William 10 1827 I am persuaded that the Elizabeth noted there is John Arnott's wife. The 1871 census record of the Gorrie area indicates that John Arnott's wife was born in New Brunswick, then the 1881 census says Nova Scotia. The latter tells us that she was still alive in 1881 and the family is recorded as living together: John W. 15, Webster 14, Luther 12, William 10, Sarah 7. Curiously enough, the only death record of an Elizabeth Lamb that seems to fit gives the date as January 31, 1903. Do you suppose she did not die in the 1880's as I've always supposed? but perhaps was institutionalized because of illness and remained that way until 1903? The notion presents itself more and more to me as a possibility. I am wondering if you have any light to shed on this mystery. I am presuming that John Arnott and his wife went to the Gorrie area as bride and groom..perhaps he had ventured there previously and came back to find or claim her. That whole region was know as "Canada West" then and the settlers would be homesteaders breaking ground. It is interesting that the old man joined his sons later in 1890 or so as they homesteaded in Manitoba. He would be crowding 80 at the time. This would mean that his wife would be left behind in Ontario, if indeed she were still alive. He was, by the way, a lay preacher for the Methodist Church for some time of his life. I notice that John Wesley Lamb must have been something of a record keeper, he had so many birthdates and so many death dates at hand in his family Bible and in a couple of his letters and documents. It is strange that no mention is made of his mother's death. Was her illness or death something they did not talk about? | Lamb, John Arnot (I08181)

| 4675 | Mrs Ward H. Sherk Box 16, Ridgeway Ontario Mar 24 1954 Dear Jim, Its quite a while since I wrote to you. but time goes by quickly when one is busy, and I usually find something to do. Winter here has been, quite moderate, but not as "open" as last year. We have had a day or two of severe cold. followed by a day or two of warmth, which all made for bad colds and "flu." I have had sinus trouble the entire winter, and its not pleasant to say the least. Ward was in hospital a couple of days for X rays and observation, had acute indigestion and gall stones. He's on a fat free diet and going strong again. No doubt we eat a bit too heartily. Like yourself we would have been far better off on less to eat. Since you described your last illness. I cannot hope you are much better. I wish it were so. I do hope you are comfortable and in no pain. Yesterday I had a lovely letter from Alicia Stone. She seemed so cheerful and happy, busy preparing papers for her missionary meetings. She seems very interested in that work. She didn't mention teaching. She's a dear sweet girl and I believe has no regrets about not having married. She and another old gal have made their home together and seem very happy and content. Regarding a family, you know, there's an old saying "If you have none to make you laugh, you have none to make you cry." Our family is fine. Jerry and Pat expect another member in June. They have a daughter ten and a boy seven. Ive been quilting crib quilts. We expect Kathleen and her two boys home for Easter. They have done well in Amherstburg in their little shop. A general slump in business is predicted. We haven't felt it yet, but they say finance companies are well loaded with beautiful used cars, television sets, and so on. People have been buying too much on instalment plan, and buying television sets they cannot afford. I can't see why anyone with any intelligence wants the latter. The programmes are utter trash. Ward wants to take a flier up to the cottage at Victoria Harbor on Sunday and come back Monday. He wishes to see how things wintered, also he is having a motor boat built at Midland. Half our village population went this winter to Florida. By Easter nearly all will be back again. We intend going next year, if we are well enough. It was chilly down there this winter with a lot of rain and thats not pleasant, better be here with our nice warm furnaces. We do have such a comfortable house big, bright rooms. Ward bought me a new electric range, a beauty. My other was gas, with coal annex, I never used the coal. I just looked out and saw a beautiful fat robin, another week and the yard will be full. The bulbs are showing signs of life again, so Spring is on the way. My Siamese cat presented us with one lone kitten, Valentines Day so we named her Valentine. She is pure bred and very cute, but quite a care too, usually under my feet. I miss Eileen Naylor very much. I suppose her estate is being settled. She had but one daughter, and she has two children. The little girl is a beautiful big child, but "retarded." I believe she has difficulty in talking. Bella, Tom's wife, was up to Windsor to see Annie. She said she was quite well, but very frail. She noticed a great difference in her since seeing her last. She has been a marvelous woman, still keeps her apartment and cares for herself. Well, Jim, I must close. Its getting late afternoon. My best wishes go out to you. Write when and if you can. Ruby | Allison, Ruby (I1069327)

| 4677 | Note from "We Relate" Michael arrived in N.Y. on the ship Marengo about 11 Aug 1833. He is listed with his family and his age is 13. The family may have stayed in Buffalo, Erie Co., NY for awhile. For sure the Brick family was in Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Co., Ontario, Canada by Jan 19,1843 because I found a land purchase for Lot 19N Concession 2 in Wilmot B. I found the marriage record, 2 Jan 1844, for Michael Brick and Mary Detzler. Their parents were listed so this proves that Michael was the son of Peter and Barbara Eckert Brick and Mary was the daughter of Jacob and Anna Riem Detzler. In 1861 Michael age 40 is still living in Wilmot, and I found a plat map that shows were he lived. His neighbors are the Fritz, and Detzler families. I found the Michael Brick Family in the 1871 Ontario Census in Bruce Co. Also living in this household was a Barbara, age 73, last name Brick. Michael listed his age as 50. This indicated that Barbara is probably his mother. Also listed in the same area were Peter Brick, Martin Brick, and Nickolas Brick. In 1891 Michael age 71 Mary age 67 and Catherine age 46 are still living in Bruce Co. Also living with them is a Jacob Detzler age 67 that must be a cousin to Mary. Michael is probably buried at the Immaculate Conception cemetery in Formosa but there is not a stone for either him nor his wife Anna Marie. . | Brick, Michael (I23923)

| 4681 | Notes from Virginia Rhoades, Family Resourcher The book published on 1 March 1997 by Marie Engel of Maryland describes the family of Henry Rhoads Senior. It attempts to explain and clarify "misconceptions and confusion" about the books and other information about Henry Rhoads Senior. An incredible amount of intensive and careful research has been made available for the purpose of establishing the genealogy of Christian Rhodt; Henry Rhoads, the Elder; and, for Henry Rhoads Senior, but I find a lack of agreement among the sources. From the Book, HENRY THE ELDER, by J. Paul Rhoades, page 21 the following will is presented: "The following is the will of Henry Rhoads Sr., as recorded in the Bedford County Courthouse on January 28, 1774, in Will Book No. 1, page 5. It has been copied as recorded including spelling and punctuation: "In the name of God Amen. I, Handry Rhoads of the County of Bedford and Province of Pennsylvania being weack in health but sound in mind & mamry do this Twenty-eight day of January in the year of our Lord One Thousand seven Hundred & seventy four mack and ordain these my last Will and Testament in following manner first I do ordin all my just Debts to be paid and next that my that my two sons JOHN Rhoads and JOSEPH Rhoads are to delivere unto my wife CATERINA in yearly and every year as shee is a withe the sum of fourteen bushels of gut and clean wheat and to sow or cause to be sowet for her use one quarter of an acker of flocks and also to plant for use one quarter of an acker of Potatoes and I do further will in this my last will and testament that the said JOHN and JOSEPH Rhoads shall keep and feet two couse for her use along as long as she liveth and provide fier wood or case the same to be done and let her life where I life now during her life time but in case she marris again then all the above articles are to be void and I do further order in my last will and testament that all my children shall have an eckwill part of my estate of the sum of Sixty Pounds before my wife CATERINA shall come in for her thords and I do further order in this my last will and testament that if all my children are of one eckwill sheer of the Sixty Pounds to earch of them then JOHN Rhoads and JOSEPH Rhoads is to take no more in sheer with the rest of my children because the Plantation is not offset for them and I do further will and mack over to my son JOSEPH Rhoads one plow and all the geirs and one Bolt Horse or gelten and the harrow and all the tackline thereunto Belonging which the said JOSEPH Rhoads is to have and has cot to the Plantation in his bargain of Beying the same and I do hereby ordin and appoint MICHAEL SYLL and ABRAHAM ( ) both of the County of Bedford to be the executors of this my last will and testament and lastly i do hereby revoke and mack void all former and other wills by me heretofore made Declaring this to be my will and testament. In witness whereof I the same Handry Rhoads have to this my last will and testament set my hand and seal the day and year above written. Signed sealed & published by the said Handry Rhoads the testator as for his last will & testament in the presence of us who in his presence have subscribed our names & written hereunto. ABRAHAM CABLE JOHANNY FRAZE (GROSS) JACOB CABLE April 12, 1774 John Gross & Jacob Cable attested to the fact that the above was Will of Henry Rhoads. The same day MICHAEL SYLL and ABRAHAM CABLE were appointed Executors." (NOTE: Barbara Rhoads, the daughter of this Henry Rhoads, was married to MICHAEL SILL / SYLL and that could account for one of the Executors. As to the ABRAHAM CABLE and JACOB CABLE who were witnesses and Executor, these could have been relatives. Some researchers show an Abraham Cable as the grandfather of his Henry Rhoads. H. Austin Cooper offers the name Catherine Ulrich rather than Caterina Cable as the mother of this Henry Rhoads.) Another document was attached to the above Will of Henry Rhoads, Date of Will January 28, 1774. This document is "LEGACIES and NAMES" and is the record of the settlement of the estate giving the date, the name and the amount received by each: October 29, 1774 JOHN RHOADS 4 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence January 20, 1775 JOSEPH RHOADS 4 pounds 11 shillings October 30, 1775 MICHAEL SILL 10 pounds 5 shillings 6 pence October 30, 1775 MICHAEL SILL 4 pounds 16 shillings May 11, 1776 HENRY RHOADS 8 pounds 19 shillings 9 pence June 10, 1776 JACOB RHOADS 2 pounds 18 shillings June 11, 1776 GABRIEL RHOAD 48 pounds 3 shillings June 11, 1776 MICHAEL SILL 47 pounds June 19, 1776 JOHN SWITZER 20 pounds 16 shillings June 10, 1776 FREDERICK SEVERS 51 pounds 15 shillings 6 pence June 10, 1776 JOHN SWITZER 45 pounds 16 shillings April 29, 1777 DANIEL RHOADS 50 pounds" End of document giving Legacies and Names. Note that in the above settlement of the estate all (9) nine children are named. The husbands of the three daughters are named rather than the daughters: Barbara Rhoads m. Michael Sills; Susannah Rhoads m. John Switzer; Catherine Rhoads m. Frederick Severs (sometimes his name has been given as Frederick Sipes). The death of Henry Rhoads, Senior was in April, 1774. The first settlement was on October 29, 1774. The last settlement was made April 29, 1777, about 2-1/2 years later. The differences in the sums granted must be interpreted through the meaning of the will. I have searched these books: TWO CENTURIES OF BROTHERSVALLEY CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN by H. Austin Cooper; HENRY the ELDER by J. Paul Rhoads; excerpts from manuscripts by Col. Owen Rivers Rhoads; Nelson Osgood Rhoads; and, a variety of others. Alternate spellings of the name include: RODT, ROTH, RHODT, RODE, RHODE, RHODES, RHOADS, RHOADES. Personally, I regard the information concerning Captain Henry Rhoads (1739-1814) and wife, Elizabeth Stoner, as rather well-documented. Data on his parents and grandparents are interesting and represent much intensive research; however, I see no consistent data on his ancestors. (For example, there are conflicts as to which children of Captain Henry Rhoads's father, Henry, Senior, belonged to which wife, Elizabeth or Catherine Rhinehart.) And, there are many more examples of inconsistency. - Virginia Rhoades. The book TWO CENTURIES OF BROTHERSVALLEY - Church of the Brethren - 1762-1962 by H. Austin Cooper has Chapter IX -"Two Famous Pathfinders" which includes information about Henry Roth (Rhoads) Senior and Henry Roth (Rhoads) Junior. There is also Chapter XI -"Captain Henry Rhoads". To quote from H. Austin Cooper: "The Dunker (or Brethren) Church began in 1708 at Schwarenau, Germany.....this new congregation..began the Taufers (or Tunkers or Dunkers) or German Baptist Brethren Church." Henry Rhoads (Rode), Sr. (or, Heinrich Rhodt, Sr.) and his father, Heinrich, the Elder, Rhoads (1686-1747) is said to have arrived in America from Germany in Oct. 1737. I have a copy of the boat list. (See page 199 -Pennsylvania German Pioneers - a 3-volume book at the Strasburger, PA Library. Also, "Names of German, Swiss and Other Immigrants - 1738, page 112-113, found at the Harbin Memorial Library at Greenville, KY.) The Strasburger, PA book "Pennsylvania German Pioneers", page 199, has the listings of: Heinrich Rodt, Senior and Heinrich Rodt, Junior. It is the list of the "Palatines imported in the Ship William themselves" - Ship William, October 31, 1737, List 50-B". "50) Oct 31, 1737. Palatines imported in the ship William, John Carter, Master , from Rotterdam, last from Dover - 180 passengers". (Virginia Burke May Rhoades). Notes from Virginia Rhoades, Family Research A descendant, Thomas Dale Ashby, of Western Springs, Illinois, in November, 1988, offers the following in his notes: "Information from LAUREL MESSENGER of the Historical and Genealogical Society of Somerset County, PA, Box 533, Somerset, PA, May 1971, page 2: Henry emigrated to Philadelphia in ship 'William' 1737, first settled in Germantown, thence Bedford-Somerset via Ephrata and Maryland. Somerset County was established in 1795 from part of Bedford, Rhoads homestead straddled the county line. Part in Bedford (St.Clair Township) and part in Somerset (Brothersvalley Township). His last name was ROTH. -- From the Rhoads file in the Centertown Library, Centertown, KY (NOTE: Does he mean Central City, KY?) 10 Oct. 1988: 'He is buried in the Rhoads Cemetery on his tract of 1771, near Brooks Tunnel on the B & O Railroad, near Ursina, in lower Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania.' He was also known as Heinrich Roth, Senior." -End of quoting from Thomas Dale Ashby. From the book, THE FAMILY OF HENRY THE ELDER, by J.

| 4685 | Obituary THE LATE J. W. HOLMES September 2, 1826 Cayuga, Ontario At Selkirk, on Saturday, August 21st, Mr. Jose W. Holmes passed suddenly away at his home in the village while reading, which was ever his favorite pastime and relaxation from business, being very widely read and possessing a wide knowledge of not only current literature, but historically was volumes in himself. Born on a farm in the Township of Rainham on July 4th 1842, being the only son of the late William Holmes and Mary Hoover, the earliest settlers of the Township he continued to farm at the old home until the year 1875, when he moved to the Township of Walpole and purchased a farm on the town-line just north of the Village where he continued as a successful farmer for a number of years, moving into the village of Selkirk about the year 1885, where he established an Insurance and Conveyancing business which grew extensively, and he was known far and wide as the poor man's friend. His public duties required much of his time, which was freely given many times without thought of recompense, and during this service to his fellowmen and country he established a clientele of friends which are legion. He entered public life as a very young man being elected Reeve of the Township of Rainham in the year 1867, and served continuously in that office until 1875, when he moved to Walpole Township. In the year 1880, he was again persuaded by his many friends to again assume Municpal duties and in that year was elected Reeve of Walpole, and re-elected in 1881. After a few years respite he was again called to the Reeveship in 1888, and served faithfully and well as the ruling head of the Township of Walpole until the time he was returned as the Liberal Member for Haldimand in the Provincial Legislature in 1898, holding the seat through two parliaments. His wide knowledge of municipal matters was quickly recognized in parliament and he held the position of Chairman of the Municipal Legislative Committee of the House for a number of years. The deceased was married on November 24th, 1869, to Martha Wilde of Napanee, Ontario (who pre-deceased him about ten years) and to whom were born a family of five sons and two daughters, all of whom are living, namely: Ivan W. of Jarvis; Mrs. F. D. Fry of Detroit; Dr. Cecil U. & Elmo R. of Edmonton, Alta; O. Blake of Los Angeles, Cal; William C. of Toronto; and Mrs. Arthur Stead of Hamilton. Besides the above family the deceased left to mourn his passing, one sister, Mrs. William Shearer of Villa Nova, and one half-sister, Mrs. S. H. Smiley of Portland, Ore. All that is mortal of a man so widely known, and a friend so deeply revered now lie in the beautiful Union Cemetery in the village of Selkirk, in one of the earliest settled portions of his native Township and within call of his stately home left behind. The funeral service was conducted at his late residence on Tuesday last by the Rev. Mr. Walker, Pastor of the Baptist church in the presence of a very large concourse of mourners and friends of the deceased. The pall bearers were R. F. Miller, C. J. Smelser, Alex Miller, Tillman Dennis, Erwin Hoover and P. W. Armstrong.

| 4689 | Pioneers of Old Monocacy: The Early Settlement of Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743 by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern The earliest ship in the Hinke lists to arrive at Philadelphia with Germans aboard who are known to have settled later in the Frederick County area was the Mortonhouse. She reached Philadelphia on August 23, 1728, having sailled from Rotterdam by way of Deal in England on the lengthy 69-day voyage. She carried two hundred German immigrants, some of whom reached the Monocacy area during the second decade of its settlement. These included, among others, Jacob Brunner, Jacob Storm and Martin Schaub [later Shoup]. It is Impossible to determine from the land records when Martin Shoup first arrived in Frederick County. He was there, however, before the December 10, 1741 survey for Jacob Staley's "Otersum," since the beginning point for that survey was located "100 yards from Martin Shoup's branch." Earlier still, Martin Schaub's daughter was married at Manaquesen on May 21, 1740 to Peter Schfiffer. The Shoup land began with a parcel caUed "Mankine" which was surveyed for Daniel Dulany on November 28, 1741. But it was not assigned and patented to Martin Shoup until March 23, 1748. It adjoined "Otersum" to the north and was located on a ridge near the main road." Martin Shoup, son of the immigrant, had "Mankine" enlarged to 231 acres through a resurvey in 1754. A part of present-day Shookstown is built just to the west of "Mankine," and the Shook Family cemetery there contains the grave of Elizabeth Shoup (1786-1853). In the 1743 naturalization proceedings Martain Shope was called a Quaker, a fact not observed elsewhere. He died in 1750, leaving a will dated April 13, 1750 which referred to son Christian leaving a will dated April 13, 1750 which referred to son Christian Shaub, then living in Conestoga, and daughter Anna, children of his first wife. Children of his surviving second wife Susanna were not named,78 but sons Martin Shoab and George Shoab were on Stephen Ramsburg's Militia Company roster in 1757 during the French and Indian War. Hans Georg Schaub married about 1756 Anna Maria Staley but died before 1761 when she married Adam Hildebrand. The other son, Martin Shoup, Jr., signed his own will on September 10, 1783. In that will he named his wife Soffia [daughter of Conrad Kemp], a nephew Peter Kemp [son of Frederick Kemp] and his own children George, Christian, Peter, Samuel, Catharine Staley, Soffia and Mary Shoup. | Shoup (Schaub), Martin (I23504)

| 4694 | Record Express, original publication: Thursday, 25 Jan 1951 - "Atomic Warfare - A former local man is playing a vital key role in the development of atomic warfare. He is A. Paul Huber, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Huber of 208 North Cedar Street, this borough, and a brother of Carl Huber, also of this borough. Mr. Huber has been appointed superintendent of the operations of the Union Carbide Company at the Paducah Atomic Plant, Paducah, Kentucky, a project which will be carried on by approximately 1,200 especially trained workers under his direct supervision. The local man, who during the World War II days in which the first atomic bomb was developed, has consistently shunned the spotlight. He was a prominent figure at the "Atomic City," Oak Ridge, Tenn. He worked in what was known as the "K-25" gaseous diffusion operations at Oak Ridge. Mr. Huber is thirty-eight years old and is a native of Warwick Township. He is a graduate of Rothsville High School." | Huber, Abraham Paul (I22922)

| 4698 | SIBU: Stories and photos by PHILIP HII This town is not done with honouring its much loved and revered missionary, the Rev James Matthew Hoover. It already has a park dedicated to his memory, but tomorrow, Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud will declare open the impressive RM20mil Masland Methodist Church Complex, also called the Hoover Project, on Island Road. Impressive: The funnel at the Hoover memorial. Together with Chinese missionary Rev Wong Nai Siong, Hoover?s place in Sibu?s history is linked to his role in helping the Foochows, who were instrumental in the growth of the settlement in the early 1900s. It was Wong, also honoured as one of the town?s founding fathers, who successfully negotiated with the second white Rajah of Sarawak, Sir Charles Brooke, to bring in Chinese immigrants from Fuzhou province to open up the Rajang Delta for agriculture. Hoover, an American, was sent to Sibu to teach and lead this group of mostly Christian migrants. Both of them are remembered today with a memorial garden each at the place where they first landed, Sungai Merah, 5km from Sibu town. The Wong Nai Siong Memorial is part of the Sungai Merah Heritage Walk constructed in 2001 to celebrate the centennial of the arrival of the first batch of Foochow immigrants. The Rev James Matthew Hoover Memorial Garden was opened in 2007 by Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh, Sarawak?s Second Finance Minister, and Rev Dr Su Chii Ann, president of the Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference of the Methodist Church in Malaysia. It is the only joint project by a local council and the Methodist Church in Malaysia,? said Daniel Ngieng, Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) deputy chairman. He explained that the 1.25ha site belonged to the state, and designated as a public park by SMC. We are aware that Rev Hoover contributed tremendously to the early stages of Sibu?s development. ?So when the church proposed building a memorial park for him, we eagerly played our part in tribute to this outstanding missionary and his wife,? he added. The Hoover Project comprises the church, a multi-purpose building and an open space called Hoover Square. Construction work began in December 2006. Hoover built the original Methodist Church in 1905. It was reconstructed to meet the needs of a growing community and renamed as Masland Methodist Church in 1925, in memory of an American widow who donated US$5,000 towards the construction costs. The interior church?s interior has been massively renovated and installed with a new audio-visual system. It can accommodate about 1,700 people. The L-shaped, multi-purpose building has 2˝ storeys for its car park, three large halls for fellowship and conferences, administrative offices and the Methodist Kindergarten and Methodist Primary School located at the back. The kindergarten and primary school combined have 1,800 pupils. There are also 10 guest rooms for visiting pastors, outstation members and Christian travellers. Hoover Square, which can accommodate 1,000 people, is intended for concerts, dances and workshops. The complex is not fenced, a friendly gesture to make it accessible to the public. Masland Methodist Church, which employs six pastors and a staff of 15, has 5,000 members who donated RM13mil towards the construction and renovation costs. The remaining RM7mil was borrowed from the Sarawak Chinese Methodist Annual Conference of the Methodist Church in Malaysia and will be repaid in instalments. . | Hoover, James Matthews (I23778)

| 4699 | Stephenson County, Illinois OBITUARIES DANIEL HOOVER , an old and highly respected resident of this city, died at his home across the river, near the Cedarville bridge, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, aged 70 years. Mr. Hoover had been in poor health for several years and had been in a critical condition several times during the past month from heart trouble. Last Saturday morning he was stricken with paralysis and never rallied. Mr. Hoover had lived in or near Freeport for the last 33 years. He was born in Franklin County, Pa., July 9, 1829, and came west as far as Ohio when he was 13 years of age. He settled in Ogle county in 1857 and at the breaking out of the war enlisted in Company C of the 15th Regiment, I.V. I., serving with it until the end of the trouble. He came here in 1865 and a year later established the rending and soap making establishment which he operated until his death. The enterprise had a very modest beginning, but it was gradually developed until it became of considerable commercial importance, and made Mr. Hoover a comfortable fortune, notwithstanding it was burned out three times, twice in 1880 and once last winter. Mr. Hoover was married to Miss Rebecca Kirk in Ohio September 22, 1853, and she survives him. Her people removed here and became well known throughout the county. He is also survived by seven children, as follows: Albert H. and Miss Myrtle Hoover, of this city; Rev. Willis Hoover, a Methodist missionary now in Chile, South America; Frank and George Hoover and Mrs. Sampson Rogers, of Oak Park; Mrs. Webster Pond, of Rockford. Mr. Hoover was held in the highest esteem throughout the county and he had a great many warm personal friends. He was a man of fine business capacity and unquestioned probity. He was also one of the leading members and most faithful supporters of the First Methodist church. Funeral services will be held at the First Methodist church at 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon Rev. J. W. Richards to officiate. Persons desiring to view the remains can do so at the house before noon Wednesday, as the casket will not be opened at the church.
