The Find Ley Family
The collection of the records for this genealogy has been done as a hobby for over twenty years and it has been interesting and a pleasure. I have received so many inter- esting letters along with the records. When I started col- lecting records I had no idea that it would become a geneal- ogy. After I had received so much valuable genealogical in- formation and history from the descendants, county records, wills, deeds, cemetery records, histories, military service records and census records, I decided that it should be printed so that it would be preserved for the use of all who may ba interested. I have also included addresses.
With permission, I have included the Findley ancestry back to the year 1236 from "Torrence and Allied Families". I learned that a few of the descendants had started keeping the Findley records many, many years ago and never completed them, 1 was fortunate in being able to use these early re- cords, without which I may not have been so successful.
No doubt, there will be some errors in a genealogy of this size. I have been able to verify some records, espec- ially dates, which have been sent to me incorrectly. Some few descendants to whom I have written for records did not send them, this is regrettable, but I have done my best. It is hoped that the present generation and those to come will continue with each family record. There are some lines which are not continued and all record of them seems to be lost. I will welcome any further information or clues to their location,
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of those who have assisted me.

Attention: Librarian ... ^
Under separate cover, I am mailing you a copy of my Fowler Genealogy ( John Fowler, 1799-1891) published in 1974, as a gift. John Fowler is my husband's ancestor. There are copies of this book in the following libraries: D. A. R. Library, Washington, D. C. ; ; Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, Indiana and the Kansas State Historical Society Library in Topeka, Kansas.
You have copies of two of my other books , Willicim Brown Genealogy and Findley Genealogy (David Findley, 1762-1849) in your library. These were gifts from Mrs. Harold Anderson.
Concerning the Fiiidley. Genealogy, after I had mailed all of the books, I discovered that 1 had copied or failed to copy one-half line, I should say, and I am sending you the correction. This early Findley record was copied from "Torrance & Allied Families" by Robert M. Torrance in 1933. On page 7 in paragraph 12, James Finley, in my book, please paste this correction where it belongs. Note on page 3 that I have: James Finley, bapt. May 16, 1629, at St. Andrew's Church, Inchervie, Fif'i, Scotland, which is correct. I mailed ftes, Anderson this correction shortly after she bought the book from me, but just in case that you may not have received it from her, I am mailing one to you,
I had the pleasure of working in your great library three years ago for a few days Tvhilo I was visiting my aunt who is a LDS member.
I might add that I also had the Hughes Genealogy (Ellis Hughes, 1776-1850) published in 1970 and that t here =; copies of it in the Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, Indiana, and in the D. A. R. Library in Washington, D. C. This book is about the size of the Findley and the Brown Genealogies, I should have had a few more copies printed.

FINDLEYS
The name FINDLEY is quite common in the colonial history of our country. Early in the 18th century there were settlers in Virginia and Pennsylvania bearing the name. In Pennsylvania, they were associated with the Scotts, Sneers, Galbraiths, Mitchells, Westbays and other oioneer families. The name has a variety of soellings: Findlev, Findlay and Finley, even in the same families, however, the spelling Findlev is used by all the descendants of David and Jane (Mitchell; Find ley. All of them anpear to have come from a common stock in Scotland and the North of Ireland. The Findleys were descendants of one of the old signers of the "Solemn League and Covenant of Scotland" and another ancestor bore a prominent part in the memorable siege of Londonderry. Ref: Biog. of Wm. Findley (1741- 1821), "Colonial and Revolutionary Families of America" by Jordan, Pub. 1911, page 678. This Wm. Findley was a half- brother of our David Findley (1762-1849). They were a religious people of the Presbyterian faith and gave themselves to the founding and maintenance of church, both in Ireland and in the wilderness of America,
Our ancestor, James Finley, bapt. May 16, 1629, at St. Andrew's Church, Inchervie, Fife, Scotland, left Scotland be- cause of the persecution of Presbyterians, going to Londonderry, Ireland, It is recorded that he was the one who changed the spelling of his name to FINDLEY because of the large number of Finleys in Ireland, William Findley, from whom our branch of the family descended, resided in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland, was in the woolen trade in Londonderry and Belfast until 1773 when, with his family, came to America on the brig "Eagle Wing". Some of his sons by a former marriage preceded him to America. His son, Hon. William Findley (1741-1821) of Latrobe, Pa., by his first wife, Jane Holland Steele, says that, while under his father's roof he had the advantage of a larger number of books than was possessed by most of his neighbors, books on church history and divinity. He also says that his father came over to Pennsylvania late in life and was well received,
William Findley, Sr, , had the following children by his first wife, Jane Holland Steele, who died Feb. 21, 1857, in Belfast: Archibald, Alexander, John, James, Hon, William, Samuel, and Andrew. He married second to Mrs. Martha Drennen, nee Dreamer, the widow of Daniel Drennen and mother of three children born in Ireland, a son and two daughters, 1758, Rev. Phillip Howell Drennen, bom Feb. 26, 1826, a United Presbyterian Church minister, was a grandson of Mrs. Martha Drennen Findley. To this union were born three children:
1, Margaret Findley married Matthew Bigger, Westmoreland Co,, Pa, (See Bigger records,)
2, David Findley, (1762-1849), County Antrim, Ireland, married Jane Mitchell, April 17, 1787, Westmoreland County, Pa,
3, Jane Findley married James McConnell, had 8 children. See page 127, McConnell family in "Willson Family Tree" by Mrs. J, Ralph Wilson, Morning Sun, lowa , pub, 1956,
Find Ley Ancestry
1. Fearchar was chief of a powerful clan known as Clan Fion- nladh, a sept of the great confederation, Jlan Chat ton, which held large possessions in Strathdie in the Pj^i^h of Crothie, in the Braces of Mar, at the head of Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, in the year 1236. . j ^ j •
FioAnladh, from which the name Finley is derived is a combination of the Gaelic words, Fionn, meaning Fergus, and Ladh, meaning boy or child. From this root have come the different spellings, such as Finleg, Finlegh, Finley, Finlay, Findley and Findlay. All are pure Scotch and id- entical in origin. ^ ^ * Fearchar is said to have been a lineal descendant ot the ancient Thanes of Ross and Moray, of whom the most fam- ous was Macbeth. Malcolm II, was King of Scotland from 1005 to 1034, A. D. His second wife was Aelifu, of whom he had three daughters. The youngest of these, Donada, married Finlegh, or Finley McRuaidhri, the Earl of Moray, Chief of Clan Fionnladh, who ruled over a large portion of northern Scotland, including the present Shire of Ross. Their son was McBida McFinlay, or Macbeth, born circa 1005 A. D. who became King of Scotland from 1039 to 1056. Macbeth married Gruach, a daughter of Bodhe, and the widow of Gilcomgain, The succession is carried on by MacBoetha McFinlay, Thane of Cromarty, 1060 to 1093, who married Bethoca, daughter of Andrew McBrad. Their son, Rory or Ruari McFinlay, was Thane of Cromarty in 1152. Their son, Fergus McFinlay, was living in Cromarty in 1210. Their son, Eochiod, or Euginius, some- times Shaw McDubh, was murdered by Walter Seneschal of Scot- land, in 1223 A. D. His son, Fearchar, Chief of Clan Fion- nladh, was living in 1236 in Aberdeenshire, and married a daughter of Patrick MacDonachadh. (Genealogists have traced this family connections through the various kings of Scotland and Ireland, to the House of Heremon, but for the ourpose of this sketch, a start will be made with Fearchar, and if space will permit, the earlier records will be inserted later).
Fearchar' s descendants settled on the borders of the Shires of Perth and Angus. It appears that his large family of sons adopted the following names: McFarchar, or Farquharson, McFinlay, Finlay and Finlayson.
Fearchar' s second son, Archibald Fynlay, or Finlay, will be the only one mentioned.
2. Archibald Finlay, distinguished himself in the battle of Largs, in Ayrshire, on Oct. 2, 1263, between the Socts and the Norwegians, in which the Scots were successful. From this Archibald are descended the Finlays of Balchristie, Fife. In a charter, dated, Nov. 12, 1314, Archibald Finlay is mentioned as occupying one- ha If marcote of land in Rousknot, Perthshire, and as having married Margaret, a daughter of William Robertson. Children of Archiblad and Margaret Finlay were three.
3. William Finlay, third child, married Isabell Dempster. He is mentioned in the Aberdeen Charter, No. 8, as follows: "Of the Prior of Rousknot Abbey concerning purchase of King Robert I, of lands of Rousknot and their land in Perthshire." Inquis-
itlon has been made by WiLllam Flnlay, the Forester, and others of the King's tenants-in-chief in Perthshire, and confirmed at Dundee, Mar. 16, 1307. The said William Finlay married Isabell, daughter of Thomas Dempster, Laird of Murisk, and his wife Eleanor Forbes, a niece and co-heir of Viscount Forbes. Child of William and Isabel (Dempster) Finlay:
4. Andrew Finlay is mentioned in a Royal Charter dated August 3, 1366: "Confirmatory Charter of the Prior of Rousknot, that Andrew Finlay son of William Finlay, and Andrew Demoster, the uncle of the said Andrew and John Finlay of Cullace, por- tioners of Menmur, in Perthshire, confirm the gifts of an annual of eight pounds of goods, as tithe of the lands of Menmur, Perth, to the Prior and Cannons of Rousknot, given at Kennelli, Oct. 8, 1360, confirmed Aug. 1366". "Grant of King Robert II, to Andrew Finlay, of certain fees for exercising the office of Sheriffdon, Perth, amercements granted to Andrew and his heirs to be held as their fees, hereditary, forever, confirmed at Kyndrocht, July 9, 1379." Andrew Finlay had mar- ried Marjorie McDonald, niece and co-heir of John McDonald,
of Perth. Children of Andrew and Marjorie (McDonald) Finlay were four.
5. John Finlay, second son, married Eleanor Stewart. John Finlay was Bishop of Dumblain in 1406; died in 1445. His title was that of Reginald of the Isles, of the whole Thange of Glentilt, being three devaches of land for his faithful ser- vices, to be held by himself in fee heritage forever for the pajnnent of eleven merksmen and the carriage of four horses once a year for hunting in the Forest of Bencromby. He mar- ried Eleanor, daughter of John Stewart, of Fothergill, Child- ren of John and Eleanor (Stewart) Finlay were six.
6. John Finlay, first child, married Mary MacRae. John Finlay is mentioned in a Retour at Logyrate, in the Court of John, Earl of Atholl, whereby, on 29, July, 1457, he granted Glen- tilt to his son, John Stewart, which formerly belonged to Finlay, Tochach (meaning Chief, or Earl), and by which h« vol- untarily resigned the Thanage of Glentilt, comprising seven- teen townships. On July 29, 1457, John Finlay is served as heir to his father, John Le Thane, of Glentilt, in the hands
of Pepnocrife in Stralhguay. The said John Finlay, son of heir of John, Bishop of Dumblain, evidently sold this land, as he is represented in the rental books of the Cupar Angus Cist- ercian Abbey, as living in the townships of Kethyk, in Cupar Grange, Forfashire, 1457-1461, having obtained, on Oct. 10, 1457, a lease of a one- twelfth portion of the Grange for five years. He died in 1461, having married Mary MacRae, who was a widow in 1462. As relict of John Finlay, she is described on Jan. 20, 1462, as obtaining; from Cuoar Angus Abbey a re- newal of her husband's one- twelfth portion for five years, pay- ing on entry a tax of five marks. Child of John and Mary (MacRae) Finlay:
7. John Finlay married Joneta Rogers. John Finlay is ment- ioned in a Retour as having in 1463, one- sixth portion of
of Combreyeland at Pentacoast, Forfashire, and he figures in different leases up to 1497. He died prior to t 507 , having married Jonets Rogers, who, as widow and relict of John Fmlay is described on March 9, 1507, as obtaining a lease of a por- tion of the lands of Downey, in the Barony of Glenisla. She was the daughter of William Rogers, a renter of Cupar Range, who, in 1457, had a lease of one- twelfth portion for seven years, and the lease was renewed, in 1468, by his son, William Rogers, Jr., who died in 1508. His son, William Rogers III, married Marjorie Blair, daughter of William Blair, Bailiff of Cupar Angus. On May 1, 1542, he obtained from Abbott Donald Campbell a life lease of that portion of land leased by his father and by his grandfather. William Rogers III appears as Sheriff De- puty on April 23, 1544. Children of John and Joneta (Rogers) Finlay were two.
8. Andrew Finlay, second son, married Janet Hay. Andrew Finley (The change in spelling from Finlay to Finley is found in var- ious documents relating to this family.), according to the re- ntal books of Cupar Angus Abbey, leased a one- fourth portion
of Aughinlyth, at Pentecoast, for five years, and figures in different rentals up to 1546. In 1507, he appears as Bailiff of Cupar Angus, and in 1542, as Sheriff. In this capacity, he was associated with Donald Campbell and David Campbell, the grandsons of the Earl of Argyll. There is an Aberdeen Charter of Sale, 1491, by Andrew Finley, of Aughinlythe, to John Stewart of Fothergill, of the lands of Achnamackmore, and this was fol- owed by a notorial instrument taken by John Finley, son and heir of the late Andrew Finley, April 27, 1547, of the rights and reversions of the lands for twenty pounds payable in one day between sunrise and sunset. There is then a precept of sasine by Andrew Finley in favor of Neill Stewart, as son and heir of Neill Stewart, given at Glentilt, June 4, 1545, in presence of John, son of heir of Andrew Finley, and on Aug. 13, 1501, a Charter of Sale to Eleanore, Countess of Atholl.

John Hay of Erroll was a great grandson of Sir Gilbert Hay, a steadfast adherent of Robert Bruce. The Parish Register of Cupar Angus Abbey records the baptisms of their children. Children of Andrew and Janet (Hay) Finley were five.

DAVID FINDLEY (L762-1S49)
David Findley was born In Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland, in 1762, died in New Concord, Muskin.e;u'n County, Ohio, in 1849. He came to America with his father, William Findley, in 1773-4 and resided for a time in CuTiberland County, Pennsylvania, but later crossed the mountains and settled in the "Forks of the Yough", in that portion of Westmoreland County which, in 1788, was organized as Allegheny County, Here he was a land owner, his name being on the tax list of Elizabeth township and in 1790, he was listed among the heads of families in the census.
The year of 1782 was a time of unrest along the Western Frontier. The country was still at war with Great Britian and the Indian allies of the British were making furious attacks upon the scattered settlements. Hannastown, the capital of Westmoreland, was burned by the Indians, and all along the border many settlers with their families were killed. In the campaign of this year, the Westmoreland militia was called into service and on the roll of its soldiers are the names of David Findley, Matthew Mitchell and James Scott. Ref. Penn. Archives.
In 1806, David Findley, true to the pioneer spirit of his people, moved again with his family to Muskingum County, Ohio, following the "Zane Trace" and settling in Union township. This township was surveyed in 1893 and its first settlers were Wm. Hardy, Henry Reasoner, a family by the name of Wilson and David Findley. Here David Findley purchased land of Henry Reasoner who had entered a tract of land two years before, the southwest quarter of section one.
The first houses in the settlement were built of logs and roofed with clapboards held down with weighted poles. Judge David Findley, being more prosperous than most of his neighbors, covered his house, in 1809, with lap shingles and wrought iron nails, the latter being a luxury few could afford, the first in the county outside of Zanesville. The first brick house built in Union township was that of Judge Findley in New Concord in 1828. He had the first apple orchard in the area. In 1815,, he bought the John Reasoner grist mill on Salt Creek. The first carding and fulling mill in New Concord was built by Judge Findley. He laid out the town of New Concord along the line of the National Road. The new Concord United Pres- byterian Church was originally known as "Crooked Creek Church", the first meeting-house being situated about one mile southwest of the village of New Concord, It was connected with what was then known as the Associate Reform Church. It is said that the first Associate Reform Church preaching in this county was in Judge Findley' s bam, not far from the nresent residence of David Stormant, (1882), Ref: History of Muskingum County, Ohio, Pub, 1882 by J. Everhart.
James Findley first introduced short-horn Durham cattle from Kentucky in 1840. In 1852, James Findley and John Patter- son built a grist mill at New Concord, near the railroad depot, with three run of buhrs.
Judge Findlev was defeated for U. S. Senator in 1809, but was elected Associate Judge in his county from 1813 to 1820; in 1828, the village of New Concord was laid out on a portion of his farm. On July 9, 1836, citizens met to consider the
10
establishment of an academy. Judge Findley was chosen as chairman and among the members of the first board of trustees was William Findley. This academy became Muskingum College.
Our ancestor apoears to have been a man of quick temper, at times stem and brusque in his manner, but of great kind- liness of disposition. It is related of him, that one year when there had been a general failure of the harvest, he was fortunate in having a good croo of wheat. One day a stranger from a distant place came to him to buy seed wheat. Mr. Findley asked him if he had the money to pay for his intended purchase. The stranger replied that he had and pulled the gold out of his pocket. "Then" said Mr. Findley, "go over yonder to my neighbor, he will sell you wheat for your money, I am saving mine for some poor devil who has no money."
Mr. Findley was not an abolitionist or a reformer in the modern sense. Yet he was highly esteemed for his integrity and public spirit; he was one of the men who "won the west", laying in the wilderness the foundations of industry, educat- ion and religion, upon which have been builded the institutions of a Christian community. In politics, he was a Whig.

"My Grandfather with his wife and six sons, Matthew, Abel, William, John, David and James came to the place now occupied by the town and college when it was almost in its original state of forest. Clearing soon began, blacksmith shop, coop- erage, saw-mill and water grist mill were started and later on when grain began to be raised, a distillery was started to put into cashable form the surplus grain. Grandfather had taken up a very large body of land making large farms for each of his sons, reaching from the Guernsey County line on the east, north and south of the road to the west, to the county road that leads from the main road to the south to the old Crooked Creek Church to which they all belonged. The need of a town appeared and they laid it out, calling it New Concord, They started stores of different kinds. Uncle William was the storekeeper and fin- ancial head of the family. Uncle Abel was the distiller. John, my father had his farm on the east. The whole country in and around New Concord was owned and entered by my Grandfather and his sons. One more thing I wish to say here to show that this Grandfather of mine had a good level business head on him. When the National Government sent her representatives to survey a route for a road from Wheeling, West Va. , (The National Road), Grandfather exerted enough influence to cause them to adopt the present site which the National Turnpike occupies today. True, it was a great thing for his large holdings, but it was an even greater thing for the entire community, the college, and the town, even unto this day."

David Findley (1762-1849) Pvt. in Militia of Westmoreland Co., Pa. 1776-1849. On account of his youth, he was detailed
as a teamster. I have noticed that some of the descendants Findley, b. 1762 in County Antrim, Ireland, at New Concord, Ohio, confused with another b. Mar. 9, 1761, County Antrim, Ireland, d. near South Henderson, Henderson County, served in the Westmoreland Militia.

John Findley was a son born in 1737 of our William Findley and his first wife, Jane Holland Steele. Our David Findley (1762-1849) was the son of William and his second wife, Mrs. Martha (Dreamer) Drennen.
Our David Findley (1762-1849) did not receive a pension for his Revolutionary War services. The following was noted after his name in the 1840 census. Union Twp. , Muskingum Co., Ohio: "David Findley, 78, served in Revolutionary War but has not applied for a pension". I have, personally, checked the pension records in the Archives in Washington, D. C. for a pension for him and there is none. I found the pension record for the other David Findley (1761-1838) and copied it. It gave the names of all of his children and their ages.
I have other records on the ancestry of the following families and history of some of them.
Henderson back to 1735 McCulley to 1750 Lorimer to 1802 Acheson to 1710 Graham to 1835 Ritchey-Ritchie to 1715 McConnell to 1751

James Renwick Wilson was born Jan. 7, 1843 In Salt Creek township, Muskingum County, Ohio, the 5th of the family of Robert and Elizabeth (Jamison) Wilson. Robert Wilson bom in 1809 on the farm settled bv his father, southwest of New Concord.
James R. attended school in Union and Rich Hill townships. In November, 1861, following the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in Co. A, 78th Ohio Vol. Infantrv. He took part in battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Corinth and others. He was taken prisoner at Vicksburg and sent to Columbus, Ohio. He was later exchanged and rejoined his regiment. He fought val- iently under General Grant, being a sharp shooter, and for a time served as a body quart of Grant. He also fought under General Sherman, and in the bloody Battle of Atlanta, was wounded. A rifle ball stricking him in the left shoulder, passed under the shoulder blade and lodged in the vertebra This ball was never removed and it went into the grave with his body. Near the close of the war, Mr. Wilson was promoted to sergeant. When the war ended, he returned home and engaged in farming.
Mr. Wilson was a good soldier. His patriotism and dev- otion to his country continued through life and at death a beautiful United States flag, draping his coffin, was lowered into the grave with his bodv. Thus he and the Stars and Stripes kept company to the end.
Oct. 18, 1866, Mr. Wilson married Miss Jennie Thompson, of Peters Creek, Guernsey County, Ohio. She was a daughter of Gordon and Eliza (Walker) Thompson. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were the parents of seven children: Clarence M. , Joseph F. , Bessie G. , Findley M. , J. Walker., Robert S. and Eva.
May 31, 1882, Mrs. Wilson passed away after a lingering illness. She was forty years of age. She was a devout member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of New Concord. Mr. Wilson was a life- long member of the same church, and contributed lib- erally of his time and means to its support.
Mr. Wilson's second marriage occurred Nov. 6, 1884 to Miss Nannie A. Dew, a native of Monroe township, and a daughter of Thomas and Jane (Wallace) Dew. To this marriage one daughter, Edna M. , was bom. The mother died Oct. 23, 1887 at the age of 36. Mrs. Wilson was an estimable Christian woman, a member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, to which she devoted much of her time. She was a former teacher at Fox Creek, 1882-1883.
Mr. Wilson's third marriage was to Miss Elizabeth Galbraith, of Olathe, Kansas, on Aug. 5, 1897. Returning to Ohio, the couple resided in New Concord until 1905. Then after a two year residence in Pennsylvania with their sons. Walker and Findley, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson returned to Olathe, where they continued to live until the death of Mrs. Wilson, Dec. 30, 1928 at the age of 81. Mr. Wilson then came to live at the home of his son, Dr. Findley Wilson, in Philadelphia. Here he remained until his death, passing away, Feb. 13, 1930, at age of 87.
James R. Wilson was a consistent. Christian gentleman, mild, dignified and easy in his manner, hp held the confidence and respect of all who knew him. All measures of morality, education, temperance, and others of a like nature, found him a strong advocate. (Copied from "Historical and Biographical Memoirs of Fox Creek School" by F. E. Geyer, New Concord, 1945.

From the Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, Pa., Mar. 18, 1929.
(with picture;
Guarded U. S. Grant before Vicksburg. Aged Veteran who saw Gen. McPherson killed comes to live with son here.
After sixty- five years, James Renwick Wilson, a veteran of the Civil War, remembers the meal given to Union soldiers by the women of Philadelohia when he passed through the city one night in the winter of 1864 on his way to join Sherman in his march to the sea.
Of the city itself he recalls nothing save the enthusiasm of the welcome and the meal - chicken, sweet ootatoes, Irish Dotatoes, tumios, oound cake and pie. Philadelohia, he says, has lingered in his mind along with other memories of the War of the Rebellion, as a symbol for good cooking.
Mr. Wilson, now eighty- six, came to Philadelphia recently from Olathe, Kansas, to reside with his son, the Rev. Findley M. Wilson, 2410 N. Marshall St., oastor of the Third Church of the Covenanters, Franklin and Daunhin Sts.
An eye witness of the death of General James B. McPherson during the fighting around Atlanta in July, 1864, Mr. Wilson carries a vivid recollection of General Grant at Vicksburg, and relates an unusual incident in the life of General John A. Logan.
On the brief visit to Philadelphia Mr. Wilson relates: "I had been wounded and was returning to active service with a party of about 300 men. We were on the train several days, and were pining for a good meal. We were marched to a large hall, where ladies of the city had prepared one. It was one of the oleasantest memories of the war. "
Mr. Wilson, who is a grand-nephew of James Renwick Wilson, famous chaplain of the War of 1812, enlisted in the 78th Ohio Infantry, at Zanesville, on Halloween night, 1861, and served to the end of the war, attaining the rank of lieutenant. Three brothers also served with the Union forces, an elder brother being killed at the battle of Shiloh.
At the siege of Vicksburg he was detailed as a sharpshooter, as part of the guard thrown around the staff of General U. S. Grant, and recalls seeing the General visiting various posit- ions of his line.
"General Grant passed my post on several occasions, always walking alone, and invariably with an unlighted cigar in his mouth." Mr. Wilson said. "He gave one the impression of being in deeo thought and seemed an unusually quiet and detached man. General Lew Wallace, author of 'Ben Hur,' was my division com- mander before Vicksburg."
During the fightirig around Fort Donelson in Tennessee, General Logan mounted on a roan horse, was directly in the rear of Mr. Wilson's company during an advance. A bullet struck General Logan's horse and carried away part of the animal's mane, but did not seriously injure it. General Logan swore with rage, and jumped from his mount. Turning to his orderly, he said, 'Here, take this animal out of here before it gets badly hurt. • Then he walked out in front of our company and led the charge on foot."
Mr. Wilson speaks of the day of General McPherson' s death
43
as "the bloody 22d of July." General Hood, a Confederate Com- mander, durinp the ni^ht, circled to the rear of McPherson's division, and his riflemen caught the Union force between a cross fire.
"The fiehting was the hottest when the Confederates attacked a thicket occupied by our men," said Mr. Wilson. "General McPherson hurried to that noint on his horse, acco- mpanied by his orderly, a twelve-year old boy. A bullet killed him almost instantly, and what followed was one of the strang- est things I have ever seen.
"General McPherson's orderly, this twelve-year boy, dis- mounted and stood there holding both animals while Southerners swept around him. Our men drove them back in a hand-to-hand fight, one of our standard-bearers saving the colors by beat- ing off several of the enemy with his fists.
"During all this melee, the Southerners ignored the Gen- eral's orderly standing at the head of the two horses. 1 am convinced that they saw he was just a child, and were too manly to molest him. "
During the day's engagement, Mr. Wilson's company, 100 strong, suffered seventy-eight casualties. His fortune was a "minnie" ball which Pierced his left shoulder, and lodged in his back, close to his spine. The bullet was not located until an X-ray revealed its position. It is still there.

They visited the Holy Land by motor car, and later journeyed to Egypt and saw the mission work in Cairo. In a letter to the writer some years ago. Dr. Wilson refers to this trip as one of the most rewarding ex- periances of his entire life.
In the heavy responsibilities carried by Dr. Wilson down through the years, he has been ably assisted by his good wife, the former Miss Laura Anderson, to whom he married July 17,
1900. Mrs. Wilson is a cultured. Christian lady, eminently qualified for the many duties incident to her lot as the wife of a preacher whose duties and responsibilities are exception- ally heavy.
Of the many Fox Creek boys and girls who achieved out- standing success in life, Findley Wilson stands high in the list. As a boyhood schoolmate and college classmate, the writer recalls that Findley was a good student, and early manifested an aptitude for public speaking. He has been em- inently successful in his chosen profession, and today is recognized as one of the outstanding preachers of the countrv. His old Fox Creek friends are proud of his success.

John Walker Wilson received his grade school training at Fox Creek. He continued his studies in the Department of Music in Muskingum College. He then took a course in butter and cheese making at Ohio State University, completing the course with highest honors. For some years he was employed in creameries in Byesville and New Concord as Operating Sup- erintendent. He then spent several years in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio. In 1904, the family moved from Yovmgs- town to Beaver Falls, Pa. where Walker accepted a position with the Kaystone Driller Company, manufacturers of wall drills, pumps and power shovels. After advancing to the position of Chief Office Clerk and assistant to the General Manager in the sales department of the company, he resigned his position and established a business in Youngstown in order to represent Keystone Driller Company and other manufacturing companies as District Sales Agent. This business increased until he re- presented some eight or ten of the most prominent manufacturers on construction, industrial and mining machinery, under the name of J. Walker Wilson Machinery Company. He is a member of Associated Equipment Distributors, an international organ- ization.
While his business made heavy demands upon his time, he always devoted much time to religious and educational work. He served as an elder in the Reformed Presbyterian Church for more than forty years. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of Geneva College for more than twenty years, and a member of the Board of Corporators of Geneva College for several years.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are worthy m«nber of the College Hill Reformed Presbyterian Church of Beaver Falls. Their son Robert F. and wife and John Find ley are also members of this church. Mr. Wilson served as chairman of the Elders Conference of the National Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church for a period of two years, from June, 1943 to June, 1945. This is an Association composed of the Lay Delegates to the Synod. Mr. Wilson was also a member of a permanent committee of the Nat- ional Synod, whose function is to keep a complete file of all members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church who are in the armed forces, and also of those who are employed in war work which takes them out of the bounds of their respective cong- regations. This committee keeps in contact with these members by correspondence, and will untimately cooperate in their re- habilitation. These groups comprise more than 20 percent of the total membership of the denomination,
Desoite the heavy responsibilities carried by Mr. Wilson down through the years, he and Mrs. Wilson have never lost interest in old Fox Creek. Both are regular attendants at our annual Fox Creek reunions and have done much to inspire interest in these happy affairs. Mr, Wilson served as Pres- ident of the Association for three consecutive years, 1942. 1943, 1944.

He had a rather vatied career, after graduating from Monmouth College in 1882, A.B. and A.M. degrees, he and all of his family moved to Sterling, North Dakota and for some time, at least, he ran a newspaper in in Bismarck with Col. W. P. Moffat (brother of Hughe Moffat of Monmouth- Daily Review). Eight or ten years later he went to Calif., San Jose and thereabouts, where his father, mother and sisters had gone and eventually became a teacher of bus- iness subjects at the College of the Pacific, San Jose, and later at Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo. (1905-10). For about three years he was connected with the Bobbs-Merrill Co., Indianapolis, and then moved to New Haven, Conn., where he taught in a business college and also worked with a firm of accoxintants. However, he had always felt he should have been a minister and in 1916-17-18 he studied at Yale University Theological School and was ordained while I was an undergraduate and he was approaching 60 years. After he got me through college he took the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church in Hanover, Indiana, 1921. From there he went to United Church, Congregational, in Beacon Falls, Conn., about 1923-7, thence to a Congregational Church in Mount Dora, Florida, for perhaps a year when he returned to Connecticut and was pastor of the Congregational Church at Burlington Center for over 13 years, retiring in the spring of 1943.

Dear Friends
Availing myself of the leisure of a wet day I sit down to write you a few lines informing you of our welfare and also of some of the news and gossip of our country. We are all enjoying good health at present for which blessing we hope we are all thankful to a merciful Providence and we fondly hope that these few lines may find you and all the friends enjoying the same blessing. "John Quincy has been suffering for nearly a year with a White Swelling in his ancle but his health is otherwise good. The Doctor thinks that all the unsoimd bone has been removed and that it will soon heal up.
Our country has been tolerably healthy this spring although there has been a few severe cases of sickness in our neighborhood and one death. One of our neighbors went down the River to New Orleans last fall on a trading expedition and was away all winter he caught the Disentary before he returned and came home sick he used severe astringent medicines which threw him into a fever of which he never recovered. We have had a very early soring the earliest I ever Knew Vegitation was as forward on the first of Aoril as it often is on the first of May the prairies were as green as a wheat- field and the forest almost black with leaves on the first of April. We had a very soft and mild winter very little snow and scarcely any cold weather at all our worst storm was in Nov.
The wheat crops looks very well in our neighbor- hood but I have been told that it is not so good in some other places. We have near forty acres in wheat which is very for- ward for this season of the year and admonishes us to prepare for an early harvest, we have been done planting for some time our com is up and struggling for life with the prairie ground squirrels and crows. We have court in Oquawka next week and perhaps it would do any of you good to step in and see the way business is done here. It is the most primitive court in our circuit and would form a drab comparison with some of your city courts and court-houses. Our court last season was held in a carpenters work shop this term it is to be held in a warehouse but we have a splendid courthouse being erected this summer perhaos you are not aware that we divided our covinty last season we had formerly belonged to Warren County and we helped them to build a courthouse which cost 10000 Dollars now that we are struck off in our- selves we have to raise another which will cost nerhans an equal amount.
The times have been dull here for a good while but now there is no times at all the word is do as you can. Those who have had plenty of wheat to sell this winter have done pretty well while those farmers who have been engaged in the pork line are complete used up. Some of the farmers went down
91
the River last fall with their oork -- they Renerally saved themselvea but lost their Dork.
Wheat has been worth 62^ cents Pork last fall was worth from one to two dollars ner hundred Bacon this soring is worth 1^ cents oer Dound. They have been trying; to nut down our Bank this winter and they have in oart succeeded. Illinois State Bank naoer is onlv worth 75 cents on the dollar. This is a hard go on the farmers many of them sold their wheat althrouph the winter for State B-^nk naner and consequently suffer a loss of 25 ner cent but this is common now-a-davs and Cantain Tyler seems determined to continue the same state of things. Caotain Tyler is in bad renute among the oeonle here thev kick him about like old shoes and talk of not elect- ing him any more but sending him back to Virginia to raise Tobacco. I think he is best at that. It is bet^ining to be hinted strongly among the old Ladies at their wool pickings that Henry Clay is to be the next President and you know what the Women takes into their heads is oretty ant to be done. Well let it be so Women sometimes get worse notions in their heads than that. But I wont say a word about it for we live in the successor state and everybody knows there is more fools here than wise people and besides we exoect to have this state sold at Constable sale long before the election. We dont owe only about seventeen millions of dollars and you know that is a small circumstance only about 200 dollars to each voter or 30 dollars to each inhabitant in the State.
Mr. Van Buren the little Magician is on a tour through the west this soring he was at the Hermitage oaying a visit to the old Roman the last account, he is expected to pay Mr. Benton a visit at St. Louis and perhaps he may come up the River this far. I should like to get a oeep at him very much, but then I would not know him except by his ears, and then there is so many people here with long ears that it would be pretty hard to tell. But I must stop or perhaps you will think I am quite too saucy.
On the back of the above letter is written the following memorandum some five years later.

Welcome Address by Elder W. A. Findley, given at the Semi-Cent<2nnial Meeting, South Henderson, U. P. Church, Sat. July 4, 1885. Ref: "Story of South Henderson"
Kind Friends:
We are glad that so many of you have seen fit to honor us with your presence today; glad that so goodly a number of our friends and neighbors have come to help us commemorate the anniversary of the day of our organization; and we are especially glad to see the faces of so many of old friends, who have met with us, and with whom we have spent so many pleasant hours in day that are past. We extend to you our kindest wishes and cordial greeting. And we hope you may each one find something in our meeting today that may be in- teresting to you and prove a blessing to us.
As we attempt to notice some of the events and circum- stances that have brought us together, so many thoughts crowd upon us that we scarcely know where to begin. Fifty summers and winters have succeeded each other and gone to an endless eternity, since the Banner of the Cross was first raised in this then new country. A few of our fathers had explored this region of country, and, seeing the broad and level pr- airies with their rich and fertile soil, concluded to make this land their future home. The face of our country at that time presented a beautiful appearance, much more so than at the present. There were no hedges, or shade trees, or or- chards to obstruct the view as at the present. The wide pra- iries, reaching in many places beyond the scan of vision, had the appearance of a vast and beautiful meadow covered with a luxuriant crop of grass interspersed with wild flowers of al- most every hue. The wild and uncivilized Indian, the prowling wolf and timid deer were the almost only occupants of the land , and roamed over the prairies unmolested. Our fathers, with heroic courage and self denial, conceived the idea of convert- ing these prairies into fruitful fields and pleasant homes; but the difficulties they had to encounter, the hardships and privations they had to endure, are known only to those who have themselves settled in a new country. They can be better imagined than described by us. Although there was no chopping or grubbing, or clearing off of timber to do, as in some other new countries, still the task, the labor of making farms and homes out of these prairies, was arduous, requiring much self- denial, patience and perseverance. The prairies were hard to' break up; the fathers had no lumber, but had to split slabs or boards, as best they could, for constructing houses of shelter; and oftep, very often, they had to pound the com into meal with which to make their bread.
But these difficulties, serious as they sometimes were, requiring heroic courage to overcome, were not their only, or even their hardest trials. They had hours of solitude; their Sabbath-days were silent and lonely; they were deprived of the soul satisfying ordinances of divine grace. As the pious Jew in captivity hung his harp on the willows, turned his face to- ward Jerusalem and wept, so they sometimes turned their faces
93
backward toward the land of Beulah, and Longed and yearned
for the consolations of the Gosnel and the communion of saints.
It was on the 4th day of July, 1835, the day we celebrate, that a few of them associated themselves together and organized the society which, by the blessing of God, still continues to exist, and continues to worship in this house. To perpetuate the memory of that day, to mark what God has done for us as a congregation, to strengthen our hands and encourage our hearts, we assembled here today. We hope the time may be so spent, that, when we separate and go to our homes, although some of them are far distant, we may each one be enabled to say that it was good for us to be here.
Of that band of devoted Christian patriots who organized our Church, we believe there are five or six still living; but none of them reside among us now. They are scattered over five or six different states of the West. We rejoice to see the faces of three of them, who have come long Journeys to meet with us today. God grant that we may meet them each one on the celestial shore. Your humble servant was not one who helped to organize; but he came and settled among them in the autumn of the same year, three or four months after the organ- ization.
To our venerable friend, Father Blaikie, who assisted in our organization, and who has come so far to be with us today, we say: We are glad to see you and make your acquaintance. Grateful for what you have done for us in the past, we extend to you the hand of friendship and love, and hope you will ac- cept assurances of our kindest wishes for health and happiness. We bid you a hearty welcome.
To the memory of our departed pastor, Rev. Ross, we drop a silent tear. We remember his work of faith and labor of love among us.
To our former pastors. Rev. Dr. McGaw and Rev. Lorimer, we say: We are glad to see your familiar faces once more. Your presence recalls many sweet recollections of the past, in the days when your voices were heard, warming teaching and ex- horting us, and directing our feet in the path of life. We extend to you each our kindest wishes, and tender you the free- dom of our grovinds.
What we have been enabled to accomplish as a congregation, is not for us to say; but we trust we have not been altogether idle in the Master's vineyard. Yet, while we have been enabled to do something towards evangelizing the world abroad, we have still, by divine grace, kept the coals alive and burning on the altar at home.
Friends, ladies and gentlemen, one and all, we bid you a hearty and cordial welcome, and hope you may each one enjoy the hour.

"In April or May, 1904, the John Findley Henderson family, especially grandmother and grandfather had all their property swept away by a flood. It was such a terrifying experience, I remember it myself.
My grandparents were fortunate to escape with their lives. They sat in the center of their bed and floated and whirled around in swirling waters all night. Their youngest son, Uncle Fred, was with them and saved their lives by pulling them to the bed. They sat there all night and saw their possess- ions, family Bible with records, and everything, also the postoffice which they had in their home float away. The din- ing table whirled around all night and the lighted lamp for some reason remained on the table.
All that was saved was something that the water carried near enough to the bed for Fred to reach to pull on the bed with them. It was a flash flood caused by a cloudburst to the north. Three creeks that were usually dry were rushing tor- rents spreading out to a half a mile in width.
All the family's live stock- cattle, horses and fine mules were caught and drowned. So all the family except Uncle Guy moved to a town, Ordway, and started over. Guy stayed on the ranch and started over again in the cattle business. His bro- thers and parents all eventually sold him all their land, acres and acres of that grazing land in Eastern Colorado. "

William Edward Hawthorne was bom June 7, 1859, in a log cabin on the farm in Granville township, which was the pioneer home of his parents, he was one of the twin sons of William and Susan Findley Hawthorne. His ancestral lineage for several generations has been distinctly American and he was of English, Scotch and Irish descent. After attending the public schools he pursued a scientific course at Northern Indiana Normal Sch- ool, now Valparaiso University. In early manhood he engaged in teaching school. It was at Marengo, Mich., while working in a grain elevator with his older brother, S. D. that he se- cured his first position. He returned to Granville in the early 1880s, walking to Florida to teach the school in that village. Later he went to Vermontville, Mich., where he held his first princioalship and where his little bride was also an instructor. He taught his last school in Essexville, Michigan.
Mr. Hawthorne's business life in Granville began in the fall of 1884 when he took charge of a general store for H. Bat- man. The following autumn, in connection with G. L. Brando, he established a hardware and grocery store in the building former- ly used as the Granville Academy. For fifteen years he was thus engaged, retiring after his election to the office of superin- tendent of schools of Putnam County, which office he occuoied for eight years. In 1901 Mr. Hawthorne organized the Granville Mercantile Company which he conducted for four years.
In 1903 he established the Granville Echo, which was under the management of his brother-in-law, B. B. Blosser, until 1905, when he abondoned the mercantile business to take control of the newspaper and printing business. In 1933, after having pub- lished the Putnam Record for Hennepin a short time, the paoers merged, becoming the Putnam County Record. He served as secretary of the Granville Lecture Association, an organization which brought such speakers as William Jennings Bryan and Carrie Chapman Catt to Granville, adding to the cultural tone of the village. While never having graduated from any higher institut- ion of learning, he was always a student, and often claimed the Bible, Shakespeare and the American classics as his textbooks.
He resigned as Secretary- treasurer of the Granville Cemet- ery Association after having served for fifty years. He served as secretary of the Selective Service Board throughout World War I. He had served in various official church capacities and at his death was Deacon Emeritus of the First Congregational Church.

In 1924 he was a Presidential Elector, when Calvin Coolidge was named President. He was an alternate delegate to the convention of 1932. In 1913 he was a member of the Anti-Saloon League Com- mittee of One Thousand which went to Washington in the cause of national prohibition. In 1907, in cooperation with John Spencer Burt, editor of the Henry Times, he was author of a history of Marshall and Putnam counties. At the time of his death all six children were in the journalistic field. They were Wm. H. editor and publisher of the Chenoa Clipper-Times and Grid ley Advance; Orin Lawrence of Springfield, vice- President of the Sangamon Co. of Taylorville; Helen H.

W. H. Grurranon, School Director and Prominent Industrialist, died, 54.
W. H. Grummon 54, of 514 WashlnRton St., member of (^Incy Board of Education and Ass't Treas. of the Gardner- Denver Co., died shortly after 4 o'clock Frldav afternoon in Blessing Hospital. In fallinji health for some time, he had been ser- iously ill since October, having been a oatient in Blessing HosDital since October 30. Prior to that time he had been to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for examination. Unable to att- tend meetings of the board of education for several months, or to take oart in committee activities, Mr. Grummon' s death was announced to his colleagues of the board as they sat in special meetin Friday afternoon, the final action of the board at the meeting being the oassage of a resolution of svmnathv and condolence, with the secretary instructed to write to the widow, Mrs. Eva Conger Grummon.
Mr. Grummon had been with the Gardner- Denver Comoanv for sixteen years, working to the resnonsible oosition which he held at the time of his death. Prior to that, however, he had been well known in Quincy, having served for sometime as sec- retary of the boys' deoartment of the YMCA nosition, leaving the YMCA to go with the Gardner-Denver Comoany.
It was as a member of the board of education, during the last four and one-half years, however, that Mr. Grummon had come particularly to the public attention in Quincy. He was elected to the board in Aoril of 1931, he was re-elected in 1934, and at the time of his death had a year and one-half to serve of his oresent term which would exoire in April in 1932. Mr. Grummon was one of the first members of the board of ed- ucation elected in what amounted to a transition of the board, which has resulted in recent years in virtually an entire change in board oersonnel.
As a member of the board of education, Mr. Grummon took a most active interest in school affairs. He had served on various board committees, being at the time of his death, chair- man of the important education committee. Mr. Grummon was outspoken in meetings and orogressive in his views.
The son of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Grummon, Wm. H. Grummon was born in Clayton on Oct. 25, 18S1, came to Quincv as a young man, living with his narents, until his marriage to the former Miss Eva Conger of Quincy who survives him. One brother, Rev. Ray Grummon, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Decatur, also survives him and two children, Mildred, at home and Helen, who is a junior in the C^uincy Senior High School. Mr. Grummon was a member of the Vermont St. Methodist Church.

From Anril 14, 1933 issue of Staten Island Advance:
A 79 year old grandmother, who 70 years ago moved with her father from Illinois to Kansas in a covered wagon, came to Staten Island yesterday to visit her son by airolane. The visitor, Mrs. Jane Moore, of Chautauqua, Kansas, hooped aboard a TWA airliner yesterday morning at Wichita, Kansas, in her first exoerience at flying. Was she frightened?

Merced Marine Gives Blood to Wounded Buddy on Battle Line. (The following story was written by Sgt. Benjamin Goldbert of Dorchester, Mass, a Marine Corps Combat Correspondent.)
"Capt.Glouchester, New Britain- Delayed. A short distance behind the front lines. Marine Private First Class Carl W. Sawyer, 19 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Sawyer of Route 2, Merced, Calif., gave a blood transfusion to save the life of a sergeant in his combat engineer outfit, then re- turned to the front lines,
"The three bullets that just skimmed over my head hit the sergeant, who was 20 yards behind me," he said. "I didn't know it at the time.
"Next day, the word was passed that the sergeant was in a tough shape. They'd given him blood plasma, but he had a rare type of blood and a transfusion might do the trick.
"I have that type of blood, so I went back and the doc- tors took some from me. I returned to the lines. I felt all right.
"When we dropped back a couple of days later, I found out that the sergeant had been unconscious for 36 hours, but came out of it and they figured he'd be all right after a time. "
The Marine is a flame-thrower and worked with the infant- ry in clearing Jap pillboxes. He attended Merced High School and worked as a sign painter before he enlisted a year ago.

The Kan.sas Flndley FarnlLv.
John Pierce FindLey and faiiilv travelled from Kelchsburg, (New Boston) Illinois, in IR70, by covered waeon and without firearms, with a family by the name of Scott, to Chetooa, Kan- sas, where he left the famllv for the winter and went on west and homesteaded a olace near what is now Chautauqua, Kansas, and brought his family to it Varch 4, 1R71. His son, Bruce, and daughter, Maggie Parker, still lived on the nlace when it was sold in the Snrin'^ of 1Q47. He never owned a fiream in his life and did not believe they were needed. He carried the Bible and several song books on the trio west. He cut logs for the homestead home from land where the town of Chautauqua now stands, the logs are still in the walls of nart of the nre- sent home. There was no timber on his nlace, onlv nrairie grass, when he settled on it, and the familv has watched the timber grow and now much of it is in timber, black jack oaks. He was a lover of orchards and during his life on the olace, planted three different orchards besides a bi^ vineyard, the first orchard was all aoole trees.
The Findley home was alwavs onen to friends and neiehbors and a olace of entertainment for church delegates, oreachers and their families and church gatherings. It was a house of hosoitality for young folks on Sundavs and all the descendants loved to go to Grandoa and crandma Findlev's home.
Grandma Findley got her first sewing machine at a cost of $45,00 at Sedan, Kansas. She had made all her family's clothes by hand uo until that time. Her family consisted of herself, Grandoa, and seven children. She dyed and soun all her yarn but hired a neighbor woman to weave the cloth. She also knitted all the stockings and mittens for her family. She did her sewing and knitting by candle light, making the candles herself until Grandna bought a lamo in Keithsburg. They saw the first Indians in Chetooa, Kansas, in 1870.
From the History of the State of Kansas, by A. T. Andreas,
Chicago, 1883, nage 1220.
J. P. Findley, farmer, P. 0. Chautauqua Sorings, was born in Muskingum Co., Ohio, in 1832, and was raised and lived there until 1855, Thence moved to Mercer County, Illinois, and re- mained there until 1870, when he emigrated to Kansas, locating in Howard County and took a claim before the land was surveyed. The nearest ooint on a railroad was about 80 miles, and for a time he had to go that distance for suoolies and there were but very few settlers. His claim is on Sec. 10, Two. 35, Range 11. He has 200 acres, watered bv 2 fine sorings, which furnish Dlenty of water; has 120 acres of timber and 50 acres under cultivation, 90 acres fenced, 4 acres of orchard, in full con- dition and with a full variety. The olace is well stocked with 40 head of cattle, a number of horses and other stock. Mr. Findley has been very successful, and has a choice olace now, 3/4 mile from Chautauqua Sorings. He married in 1856 at Vao- ello, Iowa, to Miss Sarah Willson. They have seven children: Annie May, Lillie J., Maggie W. , Amelia, Bruce, Roy and Ed. He is a member of the United Brethren Church.

From The Weekly Times Star and The Sedan Lance, Sedan, Kans.,
Thurs. Nov. 4, 1909.
John Pierce Findley was born in New Concord, Muskingum Co., Ohio, Mar. 17, 1832, and died at his home near Chautauqua, Kans., Oct, 26, 1909, age 77 vrs. 7 mo. and 9 days.
On the 26th of June, 1856, he was married to Miss Sarah Willson who has shared with him the joys and responsibilities of life for more than 53 years, and who survives to mourn the loss of a kind, affectionate and devoted husband. The deceased was an old settler in this part of Kansas. He has resided upon the farm which was his home since Mar. 4, 1871. He lived a long and useful life and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was a good citizen, a good neighbor, and a faithful friend and above all a Christian gentleman. About thirty- four years ago he united with the United Brethren Church and remained a faithful and active member until the Master call- ed him from labor to reward. He was regarded as the father of the United Brethren Church at Chautauqua and perhaps next to his own family the church will miss him most but he will be missed greatly by everyone in this community. Father Findley was a quiet reserved man but a man of strong conviction? and sufficient courage to stand for his convictions. You always knew where to find him and upon questions pertaining to moral- ity, religion and social good you always found him upon the right side doing all he could for the right.
His funeral was conducted from the United Brethren Church at Chautauqua, Oct. 28th at 2 o'clock by the writer and his remains were tenderly laid to rest upon the farm where he had lived for more than thirty- eight years, A very large concourse of sorrowing friends were in attendance at the funeral and with sad hearts following the casket to its final resting place. Besides Mother Findley and the seven children of whom mention has already been made, he left seventeen grandchildren and five great grandchildren to mourn the death of a tender-hearted, sweet spirited Godly man who was a father to all in the community.

John ?. Donelson, who soent his bovhood In Sedan in back into the service of his countrv after a resnlte in an outstand- inz naval career. He will be reme^iberefi here as the grandson of the late Col. Samuel M. Donelson, with whom he lived in Sedan, and the prandson of J. P. '•"Indlev of Chautauqua.
ThouRh the famllv home was near Elzln, John was born "down the creek a-wavs" in the Osaee Indian Territory. Thus when he erew un and attended the U. S. Naval Academy at Annanolls, he had the distinction of belne; the first native-born Oklahoman to attend that Institution and graduated In 1910.
Uoon eraduatlon from the acac^.e^v^ Donelson went at once to sea, snendlne three years on the battleshlo Vlrp.inla. Then he was transferred to the Asiatic Squadron for three years from which he covered the Phlllnolnes, Jaoan, the China coast and cruised a thousand miles uo the Yanp-t7.e River. John F. Jonel- son is a llvine: examnle of a vounp man who joined the navy and saw the world. ;)urlnR the 'Vorld Var, he served ^s a Runnerv officer on the armored crvilser South Dakota, and after then was he elected another cruise In the Orient, rather than be on shore duty. He encaped In continuous sea service until Jec. 1936, when he was retired because of ohvslcal disability.
His retirement, however, was brief. With the country acain at war, >'r. Donelson has returned to service. '-/hile he no long- er mans the puns on a rolllnp shin, he has a nlace just as vital to America, servinp as Caotaln In charpe of the Naval Reserve tralnlnp at Norman, Oklahoma. Early day residents of this county who remembar Col. Samuel M. Donelson will not wonder at the unusual career of his prandson. The Colonel himself was a flphtlne man. A southerner, as his title Imnlles, he broupht his famllv from Texas to the Indian Territory where they lived only a short time before the government moved out the white settlers to make wav for the Indians.
On July 4, 1S70, he made a soeech to a crowd of early set- tlers on the first Indenendence Day celebration ever held in what is now the State of Oklahoma. Old timers say of this occasion, "Old Glory was flunp to the breeze and the American eaple screamed as never before".
The families who made un the little settlement In the territory loved their homes, the more so from havinp obtained them through hardship and difficulties, and the threat of evic- tion in order to turn these loved olacos over to the Indians, roused rebellion among them. Seventy-one years aeo on just such a May day as this, one of the last skirmishes with the Indians took olace in the territory south of Elgin. Charact- eristically enough, Col. Donelson was there, one of about a dozen men who encountered nearly a hundred angered Indians. In the fray, Joseoh Selter a white settler, was shot from his horse and lay in the dust begging for water. Tho his comrades ventured forth with a hatful of water from Turkey Creek, Joseph Selter died where he had fallen.
After leaving the territory, the Donelson family estab- lished their home in Chautauqua County and remained here until their children were grown. After a long life of courageous adventure, the Colonel died at his home In east Sedan with his grandson at his side.

From The Oklahoma Daily, Norman, Ok la, July 6, 1944, University of Oklahoma publication.
Though no huge bedecked birthday cake stood on his desk Wednesday, Capt, J. F. Donelson, commanding officer of the V-12 unit, as probably the oldest naval officer both as to age and service limit now on duty in the state, marked his 39th service birthday.
Now on his 40th year of navy record, he can easily cite hap- penings of his last day of "personal freedom" July 4, 1905, the day before he reported for navy duty- which he spent sail- boating on Chesapeake Bay with "fair damsels" of the day.
Bom on the Osage Indian Reservation, Captain Donelson is listed as the first native Oklahoman ever to attend the naval academy at Annapolis. He was graduated from the school and assigned to active duty in 1910, Now, a veteran of naval sea action, the Captain jokingly tells men under his command that "the first 30 years are the hardest. After you once make it over the humps found in these years, you'll find navy life sailing," he points out.
Appointed to the academy by Bird S. McGuire, delegate to Con- gress, Capt, Donelson was active in the sports program there and set a running broad jump academy record of 22 feet, 7^ inches which stood for 13 years.
Before he was retired because of a physical disability which incapacitated him from sea duty in December, 1936, he had spent several years in the Asiatic sector which included the Phili- ppines, Japan and China; seen action in World War I, and been on a three year rour of duty for the navy department. At the time of his retirement he was executive officer of the navy cruiser Chicago.
In 1940 he was recalled to active duty and assigned to the 11th naval district headquarters at San Diego where he was stationed until he was transferred here in February, 1942, as commandant of the NROTC. On July 1, 1943, when the V-12 program became effective. Captain Donelson was named commanding officer.
While on active sea duty, Captain Donelson also served on the folowing ships: Virginia, Galveston, Helena, Saratoga, Con- necticut, South Dakota, Alabama, Idaho and Dickerson.

Flndley received his nreliminary education at nubile schools In Independence and was graduated A. E. in 1899 at Monmouth College, and L. L. B. in 1904 at University of Mtchlpan. He was admitted to the bar in the same year and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he practiced independently until I9l7 and as a oartner in the firm of Trefethen and Flndley thereafter until 1925.

JAMES F1NDLEY(IR06.1SRR)
James Findlev, son of David and Jane (Mitchell) ''Indley was born Seot. 13, 1S06 In Elizabeth townshlo, Alle^henv Co. | Pa., and died In Monmouth, Illinois, S*»nt. I, IHSS. In the** year of his birth his father and family removed to Muskingum County, Ohio, and his earlv life was snent on a farm near New Concord and In New Concord.
In 1829, he married Eliza Sneer, a daughter of Judge Stuart Sneer and his wife, Jane Scott, of fJuernsey Co., Ohio. Eliza Jane Soeer belonged to an old colonial family and was a descendant of Colonel Abraham Scott and of Caotaln Moses McClean, both of whom served In the Revolution. She died In Monmouth, III., In IS76.
At New Concord, James Flndlev was a considerable orooerty owner for those times; he was the owner of a farm, a grist mill and the village tavern. He was an elder In the church and a trustee of Muskingum College, which he with others, was Ins- trumental in founding. His farm seems to have been a station on the "underground Rallwav", for he concealed runaway slaves and aided them in their escane to Canada. In 1835, In comnany with his brother, Matthew, he made a journey on horseback to the Illinois country, going as far west as Henderson County on the Mississiool River, but it was not until twenty years later that he sold his orooerty at New Concord and removed to Mon- mouth, Warren County, Illinois, where he engaged in milling and other ooerations.
Owing to the general financial conditions followlne the war, he was unfortunate in his business and lost most of his orooerty. Refusing to eo into bankruntcy, he assumed the debts of the firm of which he was a member. Out of the wreck of his estate he had left only his home In Monmouth and some twenty acres of land near the citv limits. Havlne eood health and abundant energy he went to work on this olece of land and made it into a profitable fruit farm.
It was not long before his berries and his graoes were the best in the neighborhood; they were the first In the market and brought the highest orices. He labored on here until he had oaid the last of his debts and saved for himself a com- fortable home In Monmouth, where with his widowed daughter, he soent his last days, conscience clear and with an income suff- icient to secure for himself the rest and independence to which he was entitled in his old aee.
For his genuine manliness, James Findlev was held In high esteem in the community, both at New Concord and Monmouth. At Monmouth, he was an elder in the Second United Presbyterian Church from the time of its organization until his death. He was a constant reader of good books and Periodicals, wrote occasionally to the oaners on agricultural and political sub- jects and was interested in all public questions. H^ was thor- oughly conscientious and generous bevond his means. In con- versation, he was serious, sometimes humorous and always In- teresting. He was not easily depressed bv misfortune; consid- ering the load he was carrying, his disposition was cheerful. Seated in a light wagon behind his old white horse, one of a team of fine carriage horses which he drove in his more pros- perous days, he would go singing to his work like a bov with- out a care In the world.

JOHN FINDLEY WALLACE "A MEMOIR" from American Ry. Eng. Ass'n and the Amer. Soc. of Civ. Engineers, (in part)
In 1869, Mr. Wallace entered the service of the Charthage Sc Quincy Railroad as rodman. In 1370, was Ass't Engineer of Surveys of the Quincy, Alton & St. Louis R. R. From 1871 to 1876, he was Ass't Eng. in the U. S. Eng. Corps at Rock Island, 111. During that time he was also engaged in private surveys and other important work, one of which was excavation of a channel through the St. Louis chain of rocks by machinery of his own design and construction and by day labor, personally supervised by him. It is interesting to note that a previous attemot had been made to excavate the channel through this particular chain of rocks by the U. S. Gov't earlier in the century, but submarine blasting carried on at that time was unsuccessful. He also removed the foundation of the original Rock Island bridge, the first bridge constructed across the Mississippi River.
In 1879, he was apnointed Chief Engineer of the Peoria & Farmington Railway, of which he had charge of location, const- ruction and ooeration from Peoria to Keithsburg. Later this road was consolidated with the Iowa Central, and Mr. Wallace had charge as Master of Trains. At the same time he was eng- ineer in charge of construction and improvements on this line, one interesting piece of work being the construction of a tra- nsfer over the Mississippi River at Keithsburg.
During the fall and winter of 1866, he was Ass't Engineer of surveys and other work on the Union Pacific Railroad in the Rocy Mountains. He was construction engineer of the Sibley bridge across the Missouri River, and a bridge across the Miss- issippi River near Fort Madison.
Subsequently he was connected with E. L. Corthell in gen- eral engineering work, with headquarters at Chicago, his prin- cipal work at that time being the construction of the joint en- trance of the Santa Fe and Illinois Central into Chicago from the West, together with improvements of the Chicago & Alton terminal entrance. Mr. Wallace also made examinations and Plans of various railroad projects and reported on plans and estimates for a bridge at New Orleans over the Mississippi River. Before this work was completed, Chicago was giving thought to the World's Fair. The Illinois Central had a ser- ious problem in how to handle the traffic that would result from the Fair, and Mr. Wallace's suggestion to the management of the Illinois Central resulted in his being retained by that railroad as Chief Engineer to plan and put into execution the suburban service which so successfully handled the World's Fair crowds ever since been an important factor of transportation in Chicago. The elevation of tracks in the City of Chicago and the Lake Front improvement were not only under Mr. Wallace's general supervision, but he also assisted in the negotiations with the City which made this work possible. He also const- ructed extensive terminals in the City of New Orleans, planned and constructed the Stuyvesant Docks at New Orleans and exten- sive terminals at Harahan Yards, near New Orleans; also the improvement of terminals at East St. Louis, Louisville and Memohis.
In the fall of 1897, Mr. Wallace resigned as Chief Engineer
271
of the Ill-Cent. Railroad to accent th*> -Position of the Vlce- Pres. and Gen. Msr. of the I'athlson AT'-all Vorks, of Saltvlllo Va., and while in that caoacitv was =>ros. of a orooospd rail- ' road known as the SaltviLle and Virfinla •'ailroad.
He returned to the Ill-Cent. Railroad, Jan. I, 1SQ'\ na Ass't Second Vice-President, with general suoervlsion over th»» eneineerint^ den't and of natters connected vit^ the ooeration of the system. DurinR this tirre he had oersonal charge of the construction of the Fort Dodtre -"-x CNaha '.ailropd, fZ -niles in lenp.th, which pave the Ill-Cent, an entr-irce into . -naha .••nd Council Bluffs. Sent. 1902, he was amointed Generp.l r'anager of the Illinois Central R-ilroad.
In 1904, he left the service of t'^^ Ill-Cent, to \ t^co-rt^ the first Chief Engineer of the Panama Cannl. > found tr^ere an obsolete, inadequate nlant which had to be scraooed and the work started anev; fron the vnrv teriminr, r> returned from the Isthmus in 190*^, an after ?. short oeriod of rest was re- tained by the Chicaeo .Si \'orth\.'estem and conceived and dost-ned the new oasseneer terminals for that railwav in Chicar-o. Short- ly thereafter he went to ..'ew York to become chairman and l;>ter President of '.'estinphouse, Church, l^err i Co., one of the lar- e eneineerinp organizations in the ccuntrv. --or over ten vears he directed the /activities of that comoanv. :-:is residence in New York broueht him in direct contact with the threat financial problems of the country, and his counsel wa 5? frenuentlv soueht on many matters outside the realm of ene ineerins. for the last five years, '-'r. 'Wallace has been a member of the Committee on Harbors and Shiminp of the Chamber of Commerce, St. of N'. Y.
During the late war, ^■T'l I, he served as a member of the Transoortation Committee of the "'ational -Petroleum Advisory Board. In 1913, he was retained bv the Citv of Chicago in an advisory caoacitv in connection with the west side I'nion Station. The work done in this connection laid the foundation for the establishment in 1914 of the Chicago Rv. Terminal Commission, with Mr. Wallace as Chairman. During this time, in addition to working out the Union Station ordinance, he was sucressful in bringinc to a final conclusion, throuP'h his "reat abilitv to harmonize conflicting hum.an interests, the 1 1 1- Cent. Lake Front ordinance, after thirtv vears of discussion of this oro- blem of Chicar'o.
At the time of his death, '-;r. \allnce was in Vashlneton attending hearinss of the Senate Comm.ittee on Interstate Com- merce in connection with the ."^oard of Economics and engineer- ing recently formed by the [N'ational Association of railroad security holders.
Witness his advice to the l9lf eraduatinr class of Konmouth College: "::y first advice to you would be to cultivate friends. Begin with vour oi-m family circle and let your friend- shios extend to include your neighbor, vour citv, vour state, your country - and finallv broaden it out to include and em- brace humanity. Other thin'^s beine equal, the measure of vour success will deoend uoon vour f riendshios . " And surelv as he lived the above, he lived also this advice: "Cultivate a will- ingness to serve others, regardless of time, olace of circum- stances, not measuring vour services oound for oounri , as for comnensation, but let the measure of what vou eive be over- flowing. "

TVHO'S '-r-TO IN SOUTH DAKOTA, 3y 0. V. Coursey,
Oct. 11, 1924.
Rev. Dr. Williarr. Wallace (1356-1940)
About two years ago when the enemies of the old- line orthodox faith began ass^xilinf? the virgin birth of Christ and other ooints of controversy in the Bible, one bis out- standing oreacher began going ut) and down this youne state of ours oouring forth torrents of eloquence, advisin.^ all who heard him to remain steadfast in their faith - the faith of their fathers - and to cling to the basic tenets of religion, the virgin birth, the insoiration of the scrioture, the re- surrection, the ascension. His name is Dr. William Wallace, and he hails from Sioux Falls. He is a nowerful oreacher, one who has thought his faith clear through, one who has oreachr^dit and lived it for so many years that it has become a vital Dart of his very being.
Dr. Wallace came from a nrominent American family. His father was the first president of Monmouth ColleEe at Monmouth, Illinois, a Presbyterian institution. He held this nosition for 21 consecutive years. During this tim.e he was twice el- ected president of the National Education Association, one of the highest honors that can come to a school man. He was also president of the Pan- Presbyterian Convocation which convened in Philadelohia.
William was born in the same house in V7hich his mother was born in New Concord, Ohio. He was only six weeks of aze when the family moved to Monmouth, Illinois. Here the bov finished the school work of the grades and then entered Mon- mouth College, graduating with the Class of 1378. Tx-^o years later he took his Master's deeree at Monmouth and in 1912 the same institution conferred uoon him his D. D. After graduat- ion, he first became a teacher and was elected nrincioal of the Academy at Savannah, Ohio. Later he served for several years as president of Norfolk College at Norfolk, Virsinia.
However, the call of the ministry was ever uoon him; and so, in the later eighties, he gave un teaching and took uo preaching. He never regretted the Cihange and to him the min- istry is the outstanding, all absorbing profession of pro- fessions. He has succeeded well at it, too, succeeded because he loved his work, because he fitted into it; he's no sauare pee in a round hole, he is four-square man in a four- square job, and he fills it to overflowing.
During his long successful experience he held pulpits at Metz, Lisbon, Bellaire, Ohio; Calumet, Michi ;an; Cambridge, Illinois; Hawarden, Iowa; Creston, Ohio; Sioux Citv, Iowa, and Parker, South Dakota. 7or the past eleven years he has been superintendent of Presbyterian >!issions in the southern half of South Dakota, serving 26 churches. During this time, there has been organized in his district 1^ new churches; there have been built 13 new church buildings ranging in value from S3000. to $25,000, and nine new manses in which to house the preachers and their families. He is raoirilv helping to bring the South Dakota Presbyterian churches to a self- supporting basis.

Autobiography of David Findley Bonner, AM, DD. I was born in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio, April 2, 1842. We attended the Associated Presbyterian Church, Father's younger brother, John, was pastor at the time. It was a country church and has long since been disbanded. While there my mother died.
In early 1851 we moved to New Concord, Ohio. It was my mother's early home; Muskingum College being located there, it would give an opportunity for the education of the children. My half-sister, Mary Findley Lorimer, acted as mother to us young children, and we almost worshipped her.
I graduated from Muskingum College in 1860. I had a desire to go south and teach, but it was too late. Passions were too high. I taught near home for the next two years, and attended the theological seminary in Xenia, Ohio; the next two years at the seminary in Allegheny, Pa. I was licensed in April, 1864. I preached during the summer in the Presbytery in Iowa and preached for four months. I returned home and in April, 1865, I married Mary Smith and we went back to Knox- ville, Iowa, where I had been called as pastor. In 1970, I returned east and settled in Caledonia, N. Y. afterwards serving churches in Goodwill, Florida, and Endicott, all in New York State. (This was received from Mrs. W. H. Herron. )
