A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY ^' Sp^ ,->>

OF y^ .<J\*^-^^

THE EUBANK FAMILY / ^.vV^ -1^*^ 'c^'^

This typewritten book is an exact duplicate of
the original manuscript that was produced by me, over
a period of several years of research.

My first letter, requesting information on the pro-
ject, was written to the Osage County Clerk of Osage
City, Kansas, on February 7, 1966, regarding the David
Eubank family.

It has been revised and corrected many times dur-
ing more than 8 years lapse of time, and I have made
every available effort to get the missing links in the
chain of genealogy, however, there remains considerable
needed data, and no doubt much of it can still be ob-
tained, and corrected hereafter, and I hope and trust
that it will be.

My age will not permit me to continue on indefi-
nitely, so I have decided to complete the materials
that I have on hand at the present time.

I shall then dedicate this book and it's contents
to my son, Robert Oren Eubank, and any duplicates there-
from, to the direct descendants of the original progen-
itors as recorded herein, to be preserved by them for
future posterity.

August 1, 1974

Oren E. Eubank

<.',.<•

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of these forewords are to acquaint the
reader with the principles involved in the recording of
the genealogical history of the Eubank and associated
families, beginning with Hezekiah Eubank, the great-
grandfather of this writer.

In the early sixties, while we were still holding
the annual Eubank family reunion, sponsored by my family
and held at my son, Robert's farm home near Dowagiac,
Mich,, and while the Eubank and Ruble reunion, sponsored
by the Eubank and Ruble families, near Lake City, Mich,,
was still being held at Lake City (both of which my wife,
Ethel and I attended religiously,) I conceived the idea
of producing a genealogy history of the Eubank relatives,

I think this was brought about by the fact that the
only records available were those of my immediate family,
which actually were very meager due to negligence in
keeping them up, and many were the times that we ask our-
selves the question, "I wonder how old uncle, or aunt, or
cousin so and so, is and where they are living now, and
if dead, where they passed away?"

These same questions as to dates of births, marriages
and dates of deaths, came up in our immediate families,
many times,

I usually mail out more than 100 Christmas cards each
year at Christmas time, many of which contain also a letter,
and on two different occasions I have written to relatives
that had passed away and I did not know about it; but, now
with my records and a supplimental record that I keep up
continually, I can look up the records of any one of the
relatives herein that come to mind and avoid such occur-
ences.

At the time I began this project (which was in Jan-
uary of 1966, I did not know where any of Uncle Aaron
Eubank's or Uncle David Eubank's family relatives lived,
and seemingly none of the associated relatives knew either.

Referring to the records I had already compiled re-
garding David Eubank, as now recorded on Page 41, I found
that David and Amanda Eubank had moved to Kansas near
Quenimo, in the year of 1868, where they had raised their
family, so my first inquiry was a letter to the Clerk of
Osage County, Kansas, asking if they could tell me of the
whereabouts of any of Uncle David's family.

The Clerk gave me the name and address of a lady
that worked with the courthouse staff, that knew David's
family,

I then wrote her and she informed me that David and
his family had moved to Oklahoma, and gave me the address
of one of the granddaughters there, to whom I wrote and
finally got the ball rolling.

At this time all of the children of David Eubank
had passed away, except, "Charles Leroy Eubank," who,
with his wife, Hattie, lived at 1522 Valencia, Ocean
Side, California,

Charles had since passed away on July 5, 1970,

Hattie is still living in a rest home as of this
date, April 11, 1973, She will be 85 years of age this
April 21st,, and is the only direct spouse now living.

Up until 1970, I had not been able to contact any
of Uncle Aaron Eubank 's family, although I had inquired
of many of the relatives. Then, in early 1970 I wrote
Floyd Ketner at Corcoran, California and he informed
me that at one time, Clara (Eubank,) Crom t Aaron's
daughter, lived at Nehawka, Nebraska, so I wrote a
letter to the postmaster at Nehawka, inquiring if he
knew any of the Crom family; and he informed me that
Clara's daughter, Mildred, had married Elden C, Stimbert:
that Mr, Stimbert had been principal of the Nehawka Schools
for several years, but now lived in Memphis, Tennessee, and
had been principal of the Memphis City Schools for ten years,

Said he couldn't give me his address, but if I would
write a letter addressed to the principal of the Memphis
City Schools, at Memphis, Tennessee, that he was sure he
would receive it, which I did, and to my surprise, after
four years of unsuccessful effort, and immediately after
receipt of my letter, Mildred, (who we did not know existed
until a few days before,) called us on the telephone and
contact was made.

They gave me much information and a wonderful bio-
graphy, which made me very proud to be able to record.

During the several years since I began gathering
the required information necessary to build a chain of
genealogy, I have written many letters to many parts of
the United States and some to Alaska,

The larger portion of relatives seem to live in
Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Kansas, and California, but
many of them are scattered through the entire United
States .

Whenever possible I have included the present add-
resses of the heads of the families, however, some people
do move from time to time, and not all addresses recorded
can be relied upon to stay correct.

Sometime during the past seven years I have written
most of the heads of the families, and I want to thank
everyone for their efforts in helping me to acquire the
data that I have been able to record,

I have found several different relatives that at
some time or other, have undertaken to produce a genea-
logy record, but not being able to procure enough of
the necessary information; seemingly never completed
the task. Each and every one of these have my sympathy,
and I hope that each of them will acquire one of the
books, and help to perpetuate the extention of the

history in the future.

Uncle David and his wife, Amanda, lived on their
farm one mile south of Sickles, Oklahoma, until Amanda
died in 1917, then David went to live with his daughter,
Jennie Geoffrey, at 2350 West Park Place, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma.

In 1918 or 1919, David visited with us in our home
at Marion, Indiana, and at that time he was traveling
among the relatives and was gathering information for his
genealogy book, and my brother, Everett and I drove him
around to see some distant relatives of his (none of whom
we really knew,) and he took notes on their families to be
used in his book.

This book was a loose-leaf standard typewriter size
paper, that contained 71 pages of typewritten materials,
31 pages of which was recorded names of relatives; be-
longing in the generation's; enumerated in this history;
and, the other 46 pages mentioned names of relatives be-
longing to the brothers and sisters of Joseph Eubank.

It was not the intention of this writer to pursue
the family records of the children of Hezekiah and Chris-
tena Eubank, except that of Joseph Eubank (who was the
sixth) child and who, with his wife, Rosana, were the
progenitors of the following recorded generations.

I used the information mentioned in those 31 pages
with much correction and addition, as a starting point.

The last recordings in Uncle David's historical
sketches in those 31 pages were made in about the year
of 1920.

It became necessary for me to go back to the year
of 1867 to procure the names of the first born children
of the sons and daughters of Joseph and Rosana Eubank,
and record them and the dates of their births, and con-
tinue on down with the marriages and births of the fol-
lowing generations, which necessitated the searching
through 105 years of family records in order to obtain.

Some exact dates are missing and it is possible
that they can still be secured, and there are blank
spaces left where they can be inserted, but I feel that
my advanced age will not permit me to wait longer, for
fear that I will be unable to get it finished as I would
like it to be, and have it printed in book form and dis-
tributed.

This book will contain 288 Indexed pages.

It contains more than 1,200 names, all of which are
either direct or indirect relatives of the more than six
generations - of whom Joseph and Rosana Eubank, were the
progenitors.

In all instances where possible, it gives the
full name; date of birth; date of marriage; to whom
married; and the names and birth dates of their chil-
dren, beginning with the co-pro jenitors , who were the
children of the original projenitors.

Also, many of the records of relatives contain a
partial biography or schoolastic, or other achievement.

Where possible to obtain, I have recorded the dates
of the deaths of each of the relatives that have passed
away, and the addresses of the heads of the families
(which were correct on the dates shown,) at the bottom
of the recorded spaces.

With one of these books in one's possession they
are in a position to use it in writing letters to rela-
tives, or to answer many questions that arise in the
family conversation - almost daily.

I had my first manuscript indexed: ready to use
about four years ago, and while it was not nearly
finished, I found it to be a source of information
that I would feel lost without.

and Rosana Eubank and continuing down to the present time,
December 1, 1974, as recorded in pages 1 to 285, inclusive.

Sometime during the latter part of his life, Joseph was
crowded by a high spirited horse in a stall of their barn in
the farm and was injured, and the affects of that injury was
thought to have shortened his life span.

This was related to the writer by his brother, Charles
Franklin Eubank, who was 16 years old when Joseph passed away
and who was very closely affiliated with his grandfather during
his late years.

AARON EUBANK

Aaron Eubank (the first son of Joseph and Rosana Eubank),
and Martha (Dudley) Eubank, born September 30, 1347, were
married in about the year of 1864.

David Eubank 's record contains the following stanza.

To the above union was born one child only, a male baby
named Ellis Eubank.

Martha passed away May 23, 1867, at the age of 19 years,
8 months and 23 days.

Aaron's second wife was Lusadia Swaim, who was born
September 2, 1852 in Randolph County, North Carolina.

They were married in about the year of 1868.

To this union four children were born.
Arthur L. Eubank, born Augus t 23, 1869;
Clara Levanda Eubank, born October 16, 1871;
Elmer Addison Eubank, born June 8, 1873;
Walter Eubank, born August 17, 1875.

Walter passed away on September 7, 1875, age 23 days.

Lusadia was a sister to the writer's mother, Charlotte
Swaim, and Aaron being my father's brother, made the children
of the two families double cousins.

Lusadia passed away March 23, 1877, at the age of 24
years, 6 months and 21 days.

Aaron's third wife was Catherin (Gebhart) (Good) of
Fort Jefferson, Ohio, born February 12, 1838, and they were
married in the year of 1879.

She had a daughter by the name of Nora Conn at the time

of their marriage.

27.

Gather in passed away in November of 1906 and Aaron
on April 20, 1910, at the age of 67 years and 10 months.

Aaron Eubank served four years and four months in the
Thirty-Fourth Indiana Veteran Volunteer Infantry,

My father, Henry James Eubank, was about 7 years younger
than Aaron and had not yet been called for service when the
war ended, and I remember him telling of this incident.

Shortly before the war ended in the year of 1965, Aaron
came home on a furlough, and the war was declared over while
he was there, and when the news came, Aaron thought they
should celebrate.

He loaded up the old musket with a heavy charge of powder,
using hornet '-s nest for wadding, elevated the muzzle of the gun
into the air and squeezed the trigger.

The explosion was terrific and Aaron was left standing
with nothing but the stock of the gun in his hand, exclaiming
in frenzy, "where is my gun?"

This story was told by my father when I was small and has

remained vivid in my mind, and I remember my father's humor

as he used to relate the incident, „„. ,, .. ,.

"The Writer"

Aaron and his three wives are buried in the Good Cemetery
in the southeast edge of Warren, Indiana,

Stone bears his name and Twenty-Fourth Indiana Infantry
only,

David Eubank, on one of his visitations here from Oklahoma,
after Aaron passed away, purchased and installed a grave marker
for each of Aaron's wives,

ARTHUR L. EUBANK

Arthur L, Eubank, the son of Aaron and Lusadia
(Swaim) Eubank, left his father's home at the southeast
corner of the intersection of Sherman Avenue and Ohio
Street in Marion, Grant County, Indiana, in the year of
about 1899, when he was about 30 years of age, going by
horseback to the State of Colorado.

He worked for a gold mining company near Telluride,
in San Miguel County, Colorado, for several years as a
tram man, after which he was employed by the Western Power
Company at Illium, Colorado, and his job was to walk the
Illium Flume.

He slipped on the wet flume and fell, injuring his
spine, causing paralysis, which caused his death.

There is no available record at this time, December
12, 1967, of the date of his death.

Little more is known about him other than a type-
written paper that was written by someone at the time of
his death; that was sent to Floyd Ketner, a cousin of
his and mine, and mailed by Floyd to this writer in
December of 1967, 36 years after the accident.

The supposition is that he, Arthur, never married.

A facsimile of the above-mentioned paper appears
herein.

Through inquiry by the writer to the Montrose
Funeral Home, at Montrose, Colorado, as of December
29, 1967, I received the following information.

FACSIMILE OF TYPEWRITTEN PAPER MENTIONED

ARTHUR L. EUBANK
BEARS UP BRAVELY TO THE LAST

A.L, Eubank, 56, who passed away Thursday noon
after injuries received last Friday, amazed all who
came in contact with him, by his heroic spirit.

Everything was alright with him and he spent
his last days without complaining or murmuring.

When told he had little chance, without an opera-
tion and little more with one, and asked his opinion,

he said, "he would leave it to the doctors decision
as to what to do,"

Even in his last hours when asked how he was, he
would reply, "fine" with a smile, although his friends
knew he was not feeling fine, however, due to the
paralysis that seized him immediately after the fall
he did not really suffer any pain.

He had been walking the Illium flume for the Colo-
rado Power Company for eleven years; previous to that
he was engaged in mining at Telluride, being a tram man.

Little is known about him. He is survived by a
sister, Mrs, W, L, Crom of Nehawka, Nebraska, who arrived
Friday to make arrangements for the burial.

He spoke of a brother, but did not know the address.

The power company did everything possible for him,
even bringing in a noted Denver specialist, to operate
on him, but without success.

He slipped on the wet flume last Friday and fell;
his companion was unable to carry him to aid, and had
to leave him for an hour and a half, while he went
for aid.

During that time it rained very hard, and Mr, Eubank
said he never had anything annoy him so much as the
heavy rain beating down in his face during that time
and being utterly unable to ward it off, otherwise,
he uttered no other word of complaint, everything was
alright. He said if he could not get well it was
alright and whatever happened was for the best.

He took everything stoically, just as the old miner
pioneers do.

The body is at the Montrose Funeral Home awaiting
funeral arrangements,

paper, that was written presumably by someone at the
scene, in about the year of 1931,

Here is a newspaper clipping that was mailed to me
by Mildred (Crom) Stimbert of 4730 Lorence Avenue, Memphis,
Tenn,, who was the daughter of Clara (Eubank) Crom, Arthur's
sister, as of March 4, 1970, in answer to my letter of
inquiry to her of recent date.

QUOTE

A.L, Eubank, dies as result of broken back. A. L,
Eubank, who for the past 15 years has been in the
employment of the Western Colorado Power Company in
this Section, in the capacity of flume patrolman, passed
away at St, Lukes Hospital, Montrose, Colorado at the
noon hour, Thursday, Oct., 8th.

While walking the flume, three miles above Ames last
Friday, Mr. Eubank slipped and fell, breaking his back.

Every effort was made to save his life, but his spine
was so badly injured, that nothing could save him,

0, G. Cowan of Illium was with him at the time of
the accident.

Dr. C. S. Mollohan was immediately summoned and Mr.
Eubank was rushed to the hospital at Montrose, the doc-
tor and Alva Otto making the trip with him.

He had been paralyzed in the lower part of his body
since the accident and had not been relieved of this
condition, although everything possible had been done
to help him.

An intricate operation was performed by Dr. Robert
G. Packard, one of the best surgeons in Denver, who was
brought to Montrose by the power company.

Three vertebras were broken in the lower part of Mr.
Eubank 's neck.

He was 56 years of age at the time of his death.

Funeral arrangements will be made as soon as his
sister and brother-in-law arrive from Nebraska.

Other survivors are a brother who address is unknown
and two uncles, one residing in Michigan, and one in
Oklahoma.

UNQUOTE
Added By Writer

The brother mentioned was Elmer Addison Eubank, of
Dayton, Ohio.

The uncle living in Michigan was John Franklin Eubank
of Lake City, and the uncle residing in Oklahoma was David
Eubank, of Oklahoma City.

Also, at that time, three of his aunts on his father's
side, Jane Ketner, Elizabeth Mitchel and Ida Ketner, were
still living in Michigan.

Arthur was about 32 years of age when he left the farm
where Uncle John Eubank lived about three miles west of
Banquo, Indiana, by horseback, bound for Colorado. He
worked for the mining company at Telluride and the power
company at Illium for about thirty years.

He was 55 years, 11 months, and 15 days of age when he

passed away.

from his birthplace in Iowa to a homestead near Swanton,
Nebraska.

33.

An interesting event in his life occured when the
family started west in a covered wagon, driving a team
of oxen, which followed the Oregon Trail,

After many months enroute it was decided to turn
back, and the family returned to Nebraska,

A decision to dedicate his life to the Gospel minis-
try was made at the age of 18, In 1895 he received his
license to preach in the United Brethren Church and was
ordained in that church in 1903,

There followed additional years of study at the
Indiana Central College, During 30 years of ministry he
served charges in Indiana, Nebraska, and Kansas,

His untiring efforts resulted in the building of
larger memberships and general progress in each church.

This was especially true in the church at Du Bois,
which was a very successful work.

He united with the First Presbyterian Church, Pawnee
City, together with his wife, on December 29, 1946,

Among his outstanding characteristics was his
enthusiasm for anything he thought worthwhile. He had
an unusual and vital concern for all the lost, and a
deep interest in the Sunday school and in all Bible study.

His last public talk was at the fellowship supper at
the First Presbyterian Church, when he spoke of his future
home in heaven and sang an old hymn, "I am Bound for the
Promised Land," One song he loved to sing at the men's
prayer meeting was "My Soul be on thy Guard,"

Surviving are his widow, Clara L, Crom; a son Jay
L, Crom, of Pawnee City; three daughters, Mrs, Glen
Miller, of Wellington, Kansas, Mrs, Morris Mann, of Omaha,
and Mrs, E, C, Stimbert, of Memphis, Tenn,; 13 grandchildren,

Partial Biography of Mildred (Crom) Stimbert,

and family.

I was born in Logansport, Indiana, January 19, 1907;
my parents, William Lincoln Crom and Clara Levanda (Eubank)
(Charles) Crom, have told me it was a night to remember.
My father attempted to cross the flooding Wabash River on
horseback to call a doctor. He had to turn back and they
resorted to kindly neighbors for aid in the birth. When
I was one year of age the family moved to Nebraska. Our
first home was at Julian, where my father served as Min-
ister at the United Brethern Church. Numerous moves were
made during my childhood. During my high school days we
lived near Plattsmouth, Nebraska and I completed all four
years there, graduating in 1925. That fall we moved to

37.

Lincoln, Nebraska so that I could register and enter
Nebraska Wesleyan University, I met my husband there;
Elden Carl Stimbert of Inland, Nebraska. After graduating
in 1929 we each taught one year and were married in June
of 1930, Our first home was at Johnson, Nebraska where
Elden was superintendent of schools. He remained in this
position in Nehawka, Nebraska for ten years and Lyons,
Nebraska for one year. At that time (during the war)
he accepted a position with the Firestone Company in the
labor and training division. We lived in Lincoln for two
years and then moved to Memphis, Tennessee. After two
years he was asked to become Director of Instruction for
the Memphis Public School System, which he accepted and
later became Assistant Superintendent, and for the last
twelve years has been superintendent of the city schools.
Our son and daughter were both born in Omaha, Nebraska
while we were living in Nehawka, Nebraska. My sister,

DAVID EUBANK CONTINUED

In the year of 1851 his parents sold the farm near
New Madison in Ohio, and moved to Warren, Indiana and
purchased eighty acres of land two miles north of town
in Section 16, Salimony Township, Huntington County, Indiana.

David helped clear up sixty acres of this land, ready
for cultivation; then on August 1, 1862, he enlisted in
the service of the Civil War; was mustered into service on
August 17th and went to Louisville, Kentucky; then he was
sent to Lebanon, Kentucky; then back to Louisville, Kentucky
and marched to Frankfort, Kentucky and Boling Green, Kentucky,
Then to Nashville and Murf reesboro, Tennessee.

They stayed there until early in the spring of 1963 and
then went to Chattanooga, Tennessee,

In the spring of 1864 they moved out for Ringold, and
started on the campaign for Atlanta.

He was in the battle's of Chimago, Missionary Ridge,
Rasaka, Buzzard Roost, Dalton, Kennesaw Mountain, and Peach
Tree Creek,

He was wounded in the battle at Peach Tree Creek on
August 10, 1854, and was sent back to the field hospital;
then the next day to Vining Station; then to Louisville,
Kentucky and then to Evansville, Indiana.

At this time they discovered gangrene in one of the
wounds of the right leg, and it ate off one of the cords
and came close to the artery, but they got it stopped in
time.

They got an order to discharge all at the hospital,
and David was sent to Indianapolis, Indiana where his
regiment was waiting for their discharge, and they all
went home together.

They were discharged May 26, 1865.

As previously stated, David married Amanda Becker on
January 15, 1867 and they rented and lived on the Irwin
farm that year; then they lived on his Uncle Henry Eubank 's
farm the following year, then late in the year of 1868 he
went to Kansas and took a claim near Quenimo, and preempted
it, where he lived until 1901, when he sold the farm at
Quenemo,

While living on the Irwin farm near Warren, Indiana,
the first child, Laura Luella, was born, and the other nine
children were born on the farm at Quenimo.

They then bought a claim in Oklahoma, one mile south
of Sickles and homesteaded it, and lived there until Amanda
passed away on July 14, 1917, when David went to live with
their daughter, Jennie Geofrey, at 2350 West Park Place,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

During this period of time David was working on his
geneology book, which he turned over to Harry Mitchell for
his keeping, on April 9, 1930.

David passed away May 25, 1937 at Oklahoma City, and
the funeral services were held at the Methodist Church with
burial at Sickles, Oklahoma, where Amanda was buried.

He was 93 years and 8 months old when he passed away.

A BIT OF HISTORY IN HIS OWN WORDS
QUOTE

We have an unusual situation here in that the

greater Kansas City area has over a million people.

84.

at this date, January 24, 1958, and that to my knowledge,
I haven't a single relative living here on my side of the tree,
while a majority of my wife's relatives live here, or near by.

My work is as an inspector for the railroads.

Since we are so centrally located, we have twelve lines
in and out of here, so there is considerable railroad traffic.

Of course, most of it is freight, but that is what my
work involves.

My wife, Ruth, works for the Bendix Corporation, who at
this plant make items for the Atomic Energy Commission.

Our three children are still in school.

(CONTINUED)
James was nearly eleven years old when his father and mother
passed away - within a week of each other - and his grandfather
and grandmother, Joseph and Rosana Eubank, took him to live with
them; we lived near his grandfather, who was also my grandfather;
and he used to come to our home to see us occasionally.

I remember on one of these visits when he was about twenty
years old, and at a time when my brother, Everett, was about
five years old and I was between two and three years old, and on
this occasion, both of us were ailing with someone of the chil-
dren's ailments, so prevalent in those times, and both were occupy-
ing a double crib, which also was common item to see in those days.

Jimmie, as the folks called him, approached the crib and
regarded us closely and said, "I am going to go hunting and
get you boys a rabbit to eat,"

He then disappeared and after awhile came in with a
cottontail. The above happening has painted a picture in
my mind that is as vivid today as it was at that time, more
than eighty years ago. At that time we lived in a little house
near the Clover Leaf Railroad, not far from Warren, Indiana,
and shortly after this, Jimmie went with Uncle Joseph and Aunt
Jane Ketner to Banner Springs, Tennessee. He was living with
them when he took sick and was confined to his bed for five
weeks when he passed away.

He was buried in a cemetery near Spring Chappel. He
had purchased property and was preparing to make his home
there at the time of his illness.

On December 9, 1974, as I was trying to close the book,
preparitory to having it published, I received the following
which I am recording here, almost verbatim, without the permis-
sion of the writers,

Christmas, 1974, The Collvers, 1495 East Drive, Flint,
Michigan, 48504, Remembering Friends, "What a Joy" , , . ,

The Gospel of Luke tells why Christ was born in a cattle
stall, saying of Mary," And she brought forth her first born
Son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room for them in the Inn,"

We know little about the Bethelem Innkeeper, and what we
do know is sad. On that holy night his rooms were all taken.
There was no more space. Royalty was coming. The infant King
would be born at any hour. But the innkeeper could not receive
him.

As we make room for him in our hearts and lives, we are
reminded of the past blessings, his love for us and giving us
strength throughout the year. We have much to be thankful for!
Burt and I will be celebrating our bOth, wedding anniversary on
January 16, 1975! We have had much happiness together, many
friends, many blessings, and God has given a wonderful family
to us. We will have a Golden Anniversary Open House in April,
Date due to Michigan weather conditions,,

Burt's health is reasonably good. He has been able to
get out more this past year. We recently attended the Tnanks-
giving Banquet at our Church, which he very much enjoyed.

We enjoy our home very much,

103,

We would like to share with you a few highlights from our
family! Rose Marie is still working as a nurse at St. Joseph
Hospital in Ann Arbor! Her third and youngest daughter, Joy,
was married to Bill Evans in August. She will graduate with a
nursing degree and he in Theology from Olivet in Illinois.

Marilyn is kept busy helping to deliver babies at the
Martin Place Hospital, Her daughter, Lori, villi be our only
high school graduate in June. Marilyn and Cleo's grandson
also keeps them busy and YOUNG. Wendell and Gail are still
in the school system, and they top the list, as Terry and Jan
presented them with a grandson, Scott LaMar, born November 1st.,
1974. Scott is our fourth great-grandchild. Wendell and Gail's
second son, Jeff, was married to Melissa Miller in September.

Bud's boys Dave and John, are growing up all to fast. It
is a delight to have them visit us. John enjoys hockey and Dave
fishing! Dave is with the American Cancer Society, now working

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITHOUT HIM?
BY

FRANCIS RIDLEY HAVERGAL

I could not do without him, Jesus - he is more to me than
all the richest, fairest gifts of earth could ever be. But,
the more I find him precious, and the more I find him true,
the more I long for you to find what he can do for you. What
will you do without him? Is he not kind indeed? Did he not
die to save you? Is he not all you need? Do you not want a
saviour? Do you not want a friend? One who. will love you
faithfully and love you to the end? What will you do without
him, when death is drawing near, without his love - the only
love that casts out every fear? When the Shadow-Valley opens,
unlight and unknown, and the terrors of its darkness must all
be passed alone! What will you do without him when he has shut
the door and you are left outside because you could not come
before? When it is no use knocking - no use to stand and wait;
for the word of doom tolls through your heart, that terrible too
late. You cannot do without him - there is no other name by
which you ever can be saved - no way - no hope - no claim,
without him, everlasting loss of love and life and light!
Without him - everlasting woe, and everlasting night. Why
should you do without him? It is not yet to late; he has not
closed the day of grace and he has not shut the gate. He calls
you! Hush! He calls you! He would not have you go another
step without him because he loves you so. What will you do
without him when the great white throne is set and the Judge
who never can mistake, and never can forget - the Judge whom
you have never here, as friend and saviour sought, shall
summon you to give account of deed, word and thought? You
need not do without him, for he is passing by. He is waiting
to be gracious, only waiting for your cry. He is waiting to
receive you - to make you all his own! Why will you do without
him and wonder on alone.

The above Tract, was mailed to the writer by Edna Cleo
Robinson, a second cousin,

Edna has been ailing for sometime with what is thought to
be an incurable malady. May God bless her and keep her faithful
to the end of her suffering, is my Prayer.

QUOTE

Misfortune started Lake City Flea Market,

Three years ago Mrs. Eileen Eubank of Lake City, Michigan,
was a busy housewife with two teenage daughters at home. Then,
at age 34 she was completely paralyzed from the waist down!
Observation at University Hospital in Ann Arbor, and at Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minn,, indicated her case was hopeless -
she would be paralyzed for life. Returning hime, she was
determined to do her housework unaided.

She started cleaning house and decided to have a yard
sale. She and her husband owned an abandoned farm house a
few miles south of Lake City, and they held the sale there.

115.

That sale was so successful that Mrs. Eubank has gone on to
build a big business.

It's called The Lake City Flea F.arket - now in its third
year and if you're ever in the vicinity of Lake City, between
Cadillac and Houghton, you'll have a chance to take it in.
Eileen's husband, John, refurbished the old farm house - trans- I .
formed it into a kitchen and dining room. They now serve meals
to hundreds of tourists who stop each Saturday during the summer
months to browse through goods offered for sale in the one acre
plot. Space is rented by rummage sellers.

With the aid of her eighteen year old daughter. Sheila,
her mother, Mrs. Oren Chalker, and her husband, John, Mrs.
Eubank has made the Lake City Flea Market a flourishing business
that soon is going to be open two days a week instead of just one.

Mrs. Eubank works all week preparing for Saturday at the
restaurant. At three A.M. Saturday morning she arrives in the
kitchen and starts baking pies, bread and pastry. She bakes
forth pies before noon each Saturday and also bakes buns for
supper and sandwiches and makes the sauce for sloppy joes.
Daughter Sheila serves at the cafeteria style counter and dad
works between kitchen and dining room, clearing tables and keeping
the line moving,

Mrs. Chalker tallies the stall rentals out in the yard.
It's quite a deal for a gal, confined to a wheelchair.

HENRY JAMES EUBANK

Henry James Eubank, (the son of Joseph and Rosana
(Rohrer) Eubank,) and Charlotte (Swaim) Eubank, born in
Randolph County, North Carolina, on August 5, 1857, were
married on May 19, 1874.

To this union were born five children,

Charles Franklin Eubank, born February 28, 1875

Ida Viola Bell Eubank, born July 1, 1877;

Ernest Everett Eubank, born September 21, 1884;

Oren Emmett Eubank, born June 24, 1886;

Clarence Lessel Addison Eubank, born February 28, 1893.

Henry J, Eubank was born on his father's farm near
Warren, Huntington County, Indiana, and passed away at Lessel 's
home on Coit Avenue, Grand Rapids, Michigan, on February 10,
1923.

Charlotte (Swaim) Eubank was born in North Carolina near
the City of Charlotte, and came to Indiana with her parents,
"overland" when she was about two years old. She passed away at
Oren Emmett's home in South Bend, Indiana, on March 11, 1933,

They were laid to rest, side by side in Fairplane Cemetery,

Napp Street, N, E,, Grand Rapids, Michigan,

Henry James, like many of his ancestors , while growing up,
learned the building trades.

After marriage he lived much of his life on farms. He
didn't own a farm for many years and after his son, Charles,
got old enough to help with the farming, they farmed and worked
at the trade also.

132.

Of course, the renting of farms isn't entirely a matter of
permanence and occasionally they were unable to procure a
satisfactory agreement and they would move perhaps into some
close town and work at their trade until some satisfactory
arrangement could be had.

Consequently, they did considerable moving. In 1B95, when
Grover Cleveland was President of the U, S. A., and times were
very hard, father quit farming and moved to Van Buren, Indiana,
and lived on a rented property for a while - then purchased a
small tract of land at the west end of town that laid on the
south side of the main road, running east through Van Buren,
which was a part of the Chopson farm, containing (I think,)
one and three-tenths acres that was covered with Virgin Oak
timber.

Father took enough timber from that parcel of land to
supply enough rough lumber to build a six room house, a 24
foot by 36 foot barn and other outbuildings. He hued all
of the sills for the house and barn out by hand with a broad
ax, and split enough 1" X 6" X 24" Oak wood shingles for the
barn roof and enough 1" X 2^?" - four foot Oak wood pickets to
weave 900 linear feet of picket fence, and wove the fence into
place with a fence machine and three double strands of wire, all
pickets and shingles were hand split, using a fro, and what we
called a mule clamp.

Brother Charles kept a team of horses and the farming
impliments when they left the farm and he rented and farmed
the Chopson land.

We continued to live in Van Buren until about 1902 or 1903,
when father purchased a fifty acre farm with fair buildings,
about six miles west of Columbia City, Indiana, in Whitley
County and we moved there. By this time Charles and Sister
Vi'Ola were married and gone to themselves, and Everett and
I were both old enough to take care of the farm work, which
we did for a while, but father's health wasn't very good and
Everett and I were away from home much of the time, doing con-
struction work, and father decided to sell the farm and move
into Columbia City, Indiana, Later, in 1912, they and Lessel,
who was now about 19 years old, went to Hoxeyville, Michigan to
live, but didn't like it there and returned to Marion, Indiana,

until in 1920 when they went to Rockford, Michigan, where Lessel
and Bessie were married on March 11, 1922, and later to Grand
Rapids,

By this time father's health was very poor, so Lessel
purchased a home on Coit Avenue, in Grand Rapids and converted
it into two apartments, where they and father and mother lived
until his death on February 10, 1923,

Lessel later moved to South Bend and worked with me, and
mother lived with us first at 1825 Brookfield Street, then at
2013 Freemont Street, until she passed away on March 11, 1933,
Father and mother were members of the United Brethren Church
for many years, probably had their faults, as all human beings
do, but they were good people that tried hard to live a Christian
life, and after fifty and forty years respectively, since they
passed away, their image stands out very vividly in my mind, and
I shall honor and love their memory, as long as I am permitted
to live.

CHARLES FRANKLIN EUBANK

Charles Franklin Eubank, (the son of Henry James and
Charlotte (Swaim) Eubank,) and Myrtle L, (Berringer) Eubank,
born April 16, 1877, were united in marriage January 11, 1896
at Van Buren, Indiana.

To this union were born four children.
Viva Eubank, born December 22, 1896;
Clarence Ellsworth Eubank, born November 15, 1897;
Roy Franklin Eubank, born March 11, 1901;
Twylah E. Eubank, born December 16, 1906.

Viva passed away in infancy.

Myrtle passed away at their country home near Rockford,
Michigan, on February 16, 1962,

Charles passed away one month and three days later on
March 9, 1962, at the same home. They were laid to rest side
by side in Idlewise Cemetery, near Kent City, Michigan.

The life of Charles Franklin Eubank as related by his son,
Clarence, and recorded by the writer.

Charles Franklin Eubank, the first child born to Henry James
and Charlotte (Swaim) Eubank, like his father, was a farmer and a
construction mechanic and he usually managed to carry on both
facets of his trades at the same time, and after he was married
to his wife. Myrtle, on January 11, 1896 at Van Buren, Indiana, he
rented a farm a few miles distant, from Van Buren, and moved tnere,
and on December 22 nd, their first child, a daughter, named Viva,
was born, who died in infancy. They next rented a farm in St.
Joseph County, Indiana, near Walkerton and moved there and on
November 15, 1887, their first son, Clarence, was born, then in
early 1899 they moved to a farm a short distance west of Banquo,
Indiana, where they lived until the fall of 1900, when Charles
built a house just west of where his father lived, which was
across the street from the United Brethren Church on West Main
Street in Van Buren, Indiana. They moved there and on March 11,
1901 their second son, Roy, was born. They continued to live
there and Charles worked for the Van Buren Lumber Company,
stocking the material bins, and delivering materials to customers,
with a lumber wagon, and a large team of gray horses,

134.

During this time he built another house alongside of where
they lived. In 1902 he sold these houses and purchased a forty
acre farm about two miles south and east of Taylor Station,
southwest of Columbia City, Indiana. This farm had a nice tract
of timber, and he logged off most of the saw timber, hauling it
to the mill in Columbia City, also hauled land tax gravel on the
roads for many of the local farmers and did considerable carpen-
tering, and returned to Van Buren and plastered a big new house
on what was known as the McGee farm, on the Grant and Huntington
County lines north of Van Buren, Indiana.

The next year, in 1903, there was a building boom in Van
Buren, and he sold this farm and returned there, built a new
house for his family, and did a big building business there
that year.

In 1904 he sold out again in Van Buren and purchased an
eighty acre farm in Whitley County, Indiana, about five miles
west and south of Columbia City, This was in what was known as
the Oak Grove Community, and it had a goodly piece of timber
on it, and in the winter months Father cleared off part of it,
selling the saw timber and buzzing the remainder of the trees
and the small timber into firewood and again hauling the surplus
wood to Columbia City families for fire wood. He farmed his fields,
and some additional land, for a neighbor, and did considerable
building work in the vicinity. There was a road that ran north
and south through the center of the eighty acres; the house stood
on the east forty, and the barn on the west forty. This he didn't
like, so he eventually moved the barn, which was quite large, across
the road next to the house.

In 1906, after living here for about three years, he sold the
farm, and on November 6th he had an auction sale, selling every-
thing except what they wanted to take with them, which was a team
of horses, wagon, plow, drag, and a few other things. This they
loaded into a boxcar with their furniture and moved to Cadillac,
Michigan, where he had purchased a farm, about three miles west
of the west end of Lake Cadillac, They just nicely got settled
when on December 15, 1905, their daughter, Twylah was born. That
was fine and okay, but the land was just no good, "sand" that dad
didn't like, so one month later, in January of 1907, they traded
that place for a nice little place of fifteen acres with a good
house and barn, a horse, cow, sow, and chickens. This was near
Warsaw, Indiana, about a mile across the field from Winona Lake,
so there we had made another landing but, just for a few days,
because father had traded this place for two hundred acres of
timber land three miles from Harrisburg, Arkansas, So out we go
again on the same snow we came in on, and when we arrived there
we couldn't get the house for a month, so we rented a house in
Harrisburg for a month, and when that time was up, we moved to
the farm.

Part of the land had been cleared and there was ten acres
of Peach trees that bloomed and had peaches on them, but the sun
was so hot that it just cooked the top sides of the peaches and
they all fell to the ground, and there was about ten acres that
we planted to corn, and that was good, but when the ears started
to develope with corn the coons came in from the timber and cleaned
off every ear,

135.

We didn't get even one ear! In the meantime, father had sold
a lot of the timber to a company and they had moved a sawmill
into the woods and dad got busy and traded the land for a
hundred acres near V/ashington Court Court House, Ohio, so
heads up again, here we go to Ohio. This land was rough hills,
covered with good railroad tie timber. He hired some help and !•
cut this off and delivered it to the railroad. He sold the land
to the man that owned the land next to us; now it is time for us
to go again, and we did just that, and we landed in South Whitley,
Indiana on March 8, 1908.

We moved the things out to John Smith's house near his store
at Luther, six miles south of South Whitley, across the road from
the Tile Kills. Dad and I worked there for a Kr. Zent that owned
the tile factory, until fall, when we moved to the Nickey farm,
about one and a half miles north of Columbia City, Indiana. While!
living there, dad purchased a city lot on the north edge of the
city, and during the winter months of 1908 and 1909 we built a
house there, (that father afterwards sold,) while new - and in
the fall of 1910 we moved over to the Clugiston farm, that joined
up to the city limits on the north edge of Columbia City, and
west of North Chauncey Street Road.

We farmed this place until the fall of 1912, presidential
election year, when we sold out to father's brother, Everett
Eubank, and they loaded their household goods and other things
that they wanted to take along in a box railroad car and billed
it out for Cadillac, Michigan on September 19, 1912; we started
out with a covered wagon and horses, for Hoxeyville, Wexford
County, Michigan, where father's brother, Emmett and he had
purchased three-fourths of a section of land a year before,
some of which was original timber and we went there for the
purpose of cutting the timber and disposing of it.

It took nine days to make the overland trip by wagon, and
we arrived there at midnight on September 8th, This land was
about four miles northwest of Hoxeyville, Michigan, and about
twenty-five miles West of Cadillac. We drove off the road on
the west side, going north into the timber, which was the south-
west quarter of the section, as the north and south road going
north from Hoxeyville ran through the center of the section, and
there we camped until morning.

It was on a Saturday night and as I said, midnight, so mother
dad and Twylah slept in the wagon and Roy and I slept under the
wagon on the ground. In the morning we looked at our shoes and
socks that we had left out and they were white with frost. Not
so happy about this we pulled them on, hoping they would soon
warm up and dry off, then, after mother fixed our breakfast we
figured out and drove four stakes where we would build a little
house, size 18' by 24', for a place to get into as soon as
possible. Clarence says, "now, Uncle Emmett this is when and
where you come in," meaning that I worked in the timber with
them that winter, all of which I hope to be able to explain
in a separate item, I being the writer.

136.

The next spring we moved over onto the Peterson farm and
worked it in 1913. A part of that spring and summer dad drove a
big ox team, equipped with ox yoke, chains and logging tongs,
pulling logs out of the wet low lands along the south branch
of the Manistee River.

Later on, in 1913 father contracted a big house and a big
stock barn to build, over by Luther, Michigan. He hired some
men to help him and it took them all of that summer up until
late fall to finish them.

On October 15, 1913 we moved over to a big house one-half
mile west of Hoxeyville, just for the winter, and on March 20,
1914 father started out with the team and wagon, and the rest of
us went down on the train to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where father
met us, and we went out to the farm that he had rented, near
Galesburg, and our goods came, and we were all in the business
again. Among the crops we had about twenty acres of potatoes
for a cash crop. The crop was all good, but the price wasn't
any good. No. 1. Potatoes delivered in Kalamazoo only .IVc per
bushel. That, we would not do, so two days before Thanksgiving
in 1914, we loaded two refrigerator cars with potatoes and on
Thanksgiving day we loaded a boxcar with our horses, tools and
furniture, billed them out that evening for Rison, Arkansas, where
we got a $1.00 per bushel for them.

Father did carpenter work and when he had spare time, we
worked in the woods cutting timber for the Cotton Belt Railroad,
bridge timbers and spiles, with which bridges were constructed.

Then, in April of 1915 we moved back north to Marion,
Indiana, This summer father and I worked for Pasco Peal building
houses and carpentering on a big building for the Box Board Com-
pany, on which Mr. Peal was the construction foreman. Then, that
fall, on October 5, 1915, father and his brother, Lessel Eubank,
went up to Kent City, Michigan on Lessel 's motorcycle, each looking
for a place to buy, and Lessel purchased a nice twenty acre tract,
with good buildings, and father bought a forty acre farm five miles
north and three miles east of Kent City, Michigan. Then, they
returned to Marion on Uncle Lessel 's motorcycle; then father and
his family. Uncle Lessel, grandma and grandpa Eubank, all packed
their goods and furniture and loaded them into a boxcar, and
shipped them to Kent City, in the fall of 1915.

In 1917 father purchased another sixty acres, which made
enough land to keep the family busy as we grew.

Alot of crops for the Kent City Canning Factory,

Father was busy all the time, building several new farm
homes, all around Kent City,

By this time we had found out that our land was too low and
frosty for us, so father sold it, and took in city property in
Grand Rapids, but that he didn't want either, so within a week,
he traded the city property for an eighty acre farm about four
miles east of Rockford, Michigan, where we moved to on March 25,
1920, farming it that season, and the following season. Then,
in the early winter of 1921, father traded this farm for a large
duplex property in Grand Rapids, on Plainfield Avenue, where they
lived in a part of the house and rented the balance.

which

and

to the

Father contracted carpenter work here until in March,
1923, when he traded this duplex for a one hundred sixty acre
farm near Nashville, Michigan, where he moved to on April
1, 1923. One year on that farm was enough. It was so stony
with large ones coming to the surface, that father sold the
farm in the fall of 1923, and had an auction sale. We then
moved back to Grand Rapids, purchasing a lot on South Division
Street in the Home Acre Division and built a home, where we
lived until in the fall of 1924, when he got a chance to
it for a good price, and take in a house on Coit Avenue,
he did, then we moved to the Coit Avenue house.

I, Clarence, bought the vacant lot just north of it
built my house, where Vinnie and I lived until we moved
farm, where I still live.

In the spring of 1926, father traded his Coit Avenue
property for an eighty acre farm on the north edge of Sparta,
Michigan, and they moved out there. Then, in February of 1927
he traded the Sparta farm for that one hundred sixty acre farm
on Shaner Avenue, northeast of Rockford, Michigan, which turned
out to be his last farm. It had a good barn but the house was
old so they tore it down, and in 1922 they built a new one and
moved into it.

This farm had a large woods, with a lot of saw timber and
father had a man to move his sawmill back in the woods, where he
cut the trees, sawed the timber and delivered it to Grand Rapids
for a set price. He kept enough lumber for his own building
work, and built two five room houses down on the southwest
corner of the farm, on the paved highway. State Road No. 57,
v;here it crosses Shaner Avenue Road, running east from U.S.
Highway No. 131, north of Rockford, Michigan to Greenville,
Michigan. They sold this farm in the spring of 1950 and had
an auction. Then, they moved into the corner house next to
Shaner Avenue Road, where they lived until both of them passed
away.

He was 75 and 76 years old when he built the two houses,
and he did most of the work himself. He didn't do much work
other than to take care of the two properties, after that.

Charles was 87 years and 13 days old when he died.

Myrtle was 88 years, 10 months old when she died.

Signed, Clarence E, Eubank.

I requested Clarence E. Eubank, Charles' son, to give me
a historical panorama of his father's married life, which he
did, and I have recorded it almost verbatim, as told by him
in his own words.

I think that I can honestly say without question, that
Charles F. Eubank was the hardest working man throughout his
entire life, that I ever knew.

When he died he v/as quite comfortably well-fixed, finan-
cially, most of which he obtained after he moved to the Shaner
Avenue farm, from 1926 until he retired, after selling the farm
in 1950.

CLARENCE AND FAMILY
(CONTINUED)

A partial biography of a nice family that really made
good, by successful planning, hard work and honesty. Stick-
to-itivity is the key word, which really eliminates the process
of the so-called rolling stone,

I requested Clarence to write up something about his life
activity, and here it is in his own words, "The Writer."

THE STORY OF SOME GUY

Starting back in the fall of the year 1918, after the
end of the World War, I was 21 years old. on November 15th, and
I had met La Vinnie Curtis, who eventually became my wife, and
we started planning our lives together.

At this time I was doing carpenter work with my father,
Charles F. Eubank, contracting and building houses.

In 1921 and 1922, when Vinnie was going to college in
Kalamazoo, Michigan, I took a job there also, as receiving
clerk for the Cornwell Wholesale Grocery Company.

It was a good job and I liked the work, but later on I
decided to go back to Grand Rapids and build some houses
for myself.

I bought a lot and built a very nice house on it and sold
it, taking in three lots as part payment and the balance in cash;
then I was in business for myself.

I built on all three of the lots, sold one and traded one
for this farm on Four Mile Road Northwest and on July 11, 1925
Vinnie and I were married. We lived in the fourth house at
745 Coit Avenue.

At this time Vinnie was teaching at Coit Avenue School,
Then, in May of 1927 I started to work as a salesman for the
Mathews Sales Company, General Motors Sales And Service,

This I liked and I did well until in the fall of 1929
when they went out of business.

However, they recommended me to A. L, Donaldson, the
Packard distributors for Western Michigan, who wanted me to
take over their used car division, which had about ninety cars
in stock,

I took the job, selling and preparing ads for both of the
Grand Rapids papers, everyday.

In the spring of 1932 they decided to quit the business,
which they did.

At this time Vinnie and I decided to move out on the farm.
We were very happy out there, so I traded the Coit Avenue house
for the farm adjoining this one on the west.

La Vinnie then quit teaching and helped me out there; then
on April 1, 1936, Curtis came to live with us - he was a nice big
8h pounder. We had a boy growing up to help us! On November 24,
1962, after 26 years plus of hard work, planning and improving,
and much happiness, Curtis and Ellen Clayton were married. They
built a new home a short distance west of the farm home and live
there with their two darling girls, ages six and two years
respectively, which grandpa loves so much.

ROY FRANKLIN EUBANK

Roy Franklin Eubank, (the son of Charles F, and Myrtle L,
(Berringer) Eubank, and Edna M, (Dingman) Eubank, born January
3, 1904, were united in marriage February 28, 1923, at Rockford,
Michigan*

To this union were born two children.
Edward Leroy Eubank, born October 17, 1925;
Doris M, Eubank, born December 21, 1927.

Both were born in Rockford, Michigan.

Roy and Edna owned several farms in Michigan during their
early life span, most of which were in the White Tail deer
habitat, and in the year of 1942 my wife, Ethel and I spent
the deer hunting season with them on their farm, near Paris,
Michigan, The second week Roger and Gladys Pope and daughter,
Patricia, came and Roy and his son, Edward, Roger and I made the
second trip to near Irons, Michigan with our tent and equipment.

We spent Thanksgiving in the woods and we had a very enjoy-
able time. We spent the hunting season of 1944 there also, and
no one could avoid having an enjoyable time when associated with
Roy and Edna Eubank 's superb hospitality,

Roy, like his father, was a farmer and builder. When I
retired from my work with the Belleville Lumber And Supply
Company at South Bend, Indiana, in 1955 and sold the farm, I
moved to Kissimmee, Florida, and worked for some time with the
Kissimmee Lumber Company of that city, in the capacity of sales
and service, and did contracting for the company. Construction
men were scarce there at that time, and I wrote Roy and Edna to
come down there and work for me, which they did, and he and my
brother, Lessel, who had moved to Kissimmee in 1954, built a new
home for one of my customers, and also remodelled a house for
me that I had purchased for a home; then in 1956 they returned
home to Michigan,

In the year 1962, his father, Charles and mother, Myrtle,
both passed away, and he obtained his father's home place and
lived there until 1974, when they purchased a mobile home and
placed it on their son-in-law and daughter, Lawrence and Dorris
Teeter's farm, near Paris, Michigan, where they plan to spend
the remainder of their declining years.

Present address as of February 1, 1974:

11640 Shaner Avenue, Northeast, RFD# 3, Cedar Springs,

Michigan, 49319.

A biographical sketch of their married life as told
by Twylah Hazelton in her own v/ords.

We were married July 20, 1936, The next year we started
farming for ourselves, April 3, 1956. A devasting tornado des-
troyed our buildings, except house and tool shed. We had a lot
of debris to clean"off our fields, rebuild our buildings, along
with the farming. We were in the milk house when it was des-
troyed; a miracle we were not hurt. None of our cattle were
hurt, as large timbers came through the upper floor between them
as they were in their stanchions. After so much work and v;orry
from his mother's stroke and death, Andrew had a heart attack
and wasn't able to work for some time- then not hard work. We
changed from dairy cattle to beef and hired help for the heavy
v;ork. In 1960 we decided to take a short vacation and took
Clarence and Vinnie with us - toured all of the U, P. of
Michigan, also the northern part of Lower Michigan, visiting all
places of interest and had a wonderful time.

By 1962 we decided to sell the farm, to the son and family
of friends of ours, except a tract of ten acres along Highway
57 where we moved into a house there and retired.

We purchased a travel trailer and Clarence and Vinnie, with

us, travelled to Sarnia, Canada, on to Niagra Falls - through

beautiful farming country - on around through the Province of

Ontario, took a boat ride through the thousand islands and many

other interesting sights, over to Sault Sainte Marie, took the

ferry back to Michigan, and on home,
^ 143,

(CONTINUED)

The fall of 1962, Clarence and Vinnie left with us for
Florida, stopping along the way at Mammoth Cave, Rock City,
Licons birthplace, all other interesting places, travelling
all over Florida, visiting the tourist attractions, out to
Key West, through the Naval Station there, across the Ever-
glades to Flamingo, on the southwest tip of Florida, came
back through Mississippi, Louisana, Arkansas, on north to
Michigan.

The summer of 1964 we bought a nice cottage on Thunder
Lake near r-lanistique, U, P., Michigan, After Labor Day we
took Clarence with us from the cottage, went to Sault Sainte
Marie, crossed over the new international bridge into Canada,
travelled all the way around Lake Superior, with a few side
trips, one to Kenora, Canada, a great summer vacation place,
back into Minnesota, over to Charles City, Iowa, and Lansing,
Minnesota, to visit our cousins, across through Illinois into
Michigan, and home. That winter we went to Florida again,
having Clarence with us for more sightseeing, going through
Ohio on a different highway, came back last of March, through
the Smokey Moutains, (this was beautiful.)

The fall of 1965, we asked Clarence to go with us to travel
the southwest all over Texas, saw President Johnson's home ranch,
through the oil well territory, into New Mexico, through the
Carlsbad Caverns, Salt Flats and other interesting places, into
Arizona to Tombstone, Tuscon, Phoenix, GrandCanyon, beautiful
Painted Desert, petrified forest, etc. Then to California past
Art Linkletter's large motel to San Diego, to see the world's
largest zoo, was very interesting - then back north past Lawrence
VJelk's beautiful mobile home village, where he lives in a gorgeous
large mobile home, back to Tuscon, Arizona, down into Old Mexico v
at Nogales, had a lot of fun and bought some souvenir's at bar- |
gain prices.

It was too cold in Arizona to suit us, so we left for
Zephyrhills, Florida, and bought a new mobile home. We had it
set up on a lot in Tropical Park, all ready to come back to the
next fall; since then we have spent the winters there.

In the spring of 1971, we went home through the eastern state
going through the New Chesapeake Bay Tunnel and bridges, from
Norfolk to Cape Charles, past the island where the small wild
horses propagate; from which our Vice-President, Jerry Ford,
got one for the zoo in his home city of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and from there over to Washington, D. C., and then on home.

In 1972 we decided to sell our cottage at Thunder Lake in
the U. P., Michigan, and the extra lot we had there.

In 1973 we sold off some for building sights; then we had
a nev/ house built on our land facing on Shaner Avenue around the
corner from where we did live.

Nov/, in 1974 vie just sold our mobile home in Florida and
will return to our new home in Michigan, and see how the energy
crisis develops before planning any more trips.

winter with her daughter, Gladys Pope, at their farm home near
Warren, Indiana.

On November 21 st she fell and fractured a hip bone and was
taken to the Marion General Hospital for surgery, and it turned
out to be a very bad break.

Her condition improved slowly, and after about tv;o weeks
they moved her to River View Manor, a convalescent center, where
they had the facilities to give her proper therapy.

However, in less than three weeks, she grew worse and
developed a massive congestion, and passed away on Christmas

IN MEMORIAL

Urshell 's mother, Viola Bell (Eubank) Pulley was this
writer's only sister, and Urshell was born when I was eleven
years old, and I spent much of my teenage years in their home.
I loved to hunt rabbit, fox, squirrel and quail, and they were
plentiful in those days, and we had a lot of territory to hunt
over, consequently, with "Ursh," as we called him, at my side,
we learned to love and respect each other - a respect that was
to continue throughout our entire span of life. Urshell was a
"good" hunting dog enthusiast, and at one time had some of the
best fox and coon dogs in that part of the country, and competed
in many fox runs and roved the wooded lands of Grand County,
Indiana many nights in search of racoon, however, later on after
he had remarried, he obtained a couple different strains of
rabbit hounds and settled down to farming and as a pass time,
trained his dogs for hunting.

He also was a gun fancier, and owned a case of fine
hunting guns.

He worked for the Aniconda Insultaed Wire Works in Marion,
Indiana for many years, and when he retired from their service
(in 1962) the employeer's of the company gave him a 30 - 30
Calibre Deer Rifle for a going away present. That year I hunted
deer near Harrison, Michigan and Ethel and I stayed with some
friends, Clare and Harriot Heater, who owned a nice home about
six miles out of Harrison, and I invited him to come there and
hunt with me, which he did.

I think the second day out he got a running shot at a buck-
about an eight point, and broke of its hind legs, but it went
on a short distance where it was finished off by another hunter,
who claimed the deer. He said, "Unk, I would rather hunt
rabbits when I can hear my dogs bark." That was his only

deer hunting trip.

In the year of 1959, while preparing ground for crops on
his mother's farm, his father having passed away, he had a severe
heart attack. His mother had him taken to Memorial Hospital in
Marion, Indiana, where he was revived. He lived about a year but
never regained his health, and passed away on June 18, 1970.

He was laid to rest in Garden Of Memories Cemetery where
his father and mother were buried.

His wife, Margaret, is still living in the farm home about
seven miles north of Marion and Ih miles west of State Road
No. 9, known as the Huntington Pike.

Leesburgh, Indiana, 46530,

The following article was written by request for publi-
cation in the Eubank Genealogy History, by Orpha Foster, the
wife and very able assistant of The Rev, Bryce H, Foster:

QUOTE

Bryce and I rededicated our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ
in the spring of 1954 in Florida at theFirst Baptist Church at
Wabasso, where we were spending the winter.

We were both baptised on Easter Sunday,

We came home and started looking for a place to work, and
after a few disappointments we ended up at the Barbee Illistrated
Sunday School, helping an old gentleman, F, B, Miller, who had
started this some ten or twelve years before.

In December of 1955, we organized the present church,
incorporating it with the State, under the name of the Barbee
Community Church, which is non-denominational,

Bryce started studying as soon as we rededicated and
got some material from correspondence schools and was soon
filling in, teaching at our very informal meetings.

152

After a while we got a retired minister in for a year
and then a seminary student for another year, and then Bryce
took over the Sunday services.

On May 17, 1970, the church had him ordained. When he was
ordained he laid aside his contracting tools and took up the
Bible entirely. Only when we decided to build this church
building did he ever use those tools.

He used his knowledge of building, with a very able
architect, Oren E. Eubank, to finish a very nice $68,000.00
church building.

We are thrilled with our church building, but even more
important is the church that God is building through Christ and
his people.

This church is composed of living stones, with Christ
the chief cornerstone. Peter 2; 5.

We can all be a part of this church as living stones.

The Bible tells us, for all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God. Romans 3; 23, and that the wages of sin
is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord; Romand 6* 23.

God wants all to be a member of the church, and he provided
the way. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shall believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved, Romans, 10; 9,

A PARTIAL BIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITER

My father, Henry James Eubank, like many of his ancestors,
was a plaster mason and builder by trade. He was raised on a
farm and during his life time his love for the country drew
him back to the farm many times. Therefore, I also grew up to
be a farmer and builder.

In those days very few school children had the opportunity
to complete their education, and none of our family advanced
their public schooling beyond the 8th grade,

I worked an apprenticeship in the carpentry field with a
very able builder, while still single,

I married my first wife, Hattie Elizabeth Heinley, on
April 5, 1906, and our son Austin was born January 7, 1907, and
on September 24, 1907 Hattie passed away.

When Austin was two years old he developed a very serious
condition in his neck, and his doctor advised me to take him to
the University Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for examination,
which I did.

He was confined there for 13 weeks and they were successful
in diagnosing and curing the ailment.

While there, I worked on the university engineering building
that was being built at that time, and became closely acquainted
with Edward E, Sharrer from Detroit, who was the construction
superintendent on the job for the Koch Construction Company,
who were the builders. Over some of the weekends that followed
Ed took me home with him. He had a lovely family and I appre-
ciated visiting with them, and I think this was responsible for
my trip to Detroit later on,

IVhen Austin was released from the hospital I returned with
him to my father's home on the farm near South Whitley, Indiana,
where I had met Ethel Naomi Sickafoose, who later became my wife.

In the spring of 1910, I purchased a building lot in the
newly laid out Lee Addition, in South VJhitley, and digging a
basement by hand, I started building a residence, with which to
house us when we were married, and on July 12th Ethel and I were
married.

At this time, I was doing mostly plastering and cement work
for a livelihood, and was desirous of expanding my knowledge in
the construction field, so, in the summer of 1911 I packed my
tools and leaving Ethel to look after the home I went to Detroit.
Upon arriving I made my way to my friend's home, the Sharrer's,

Ed informed me that Jackson and Maurice, General Building
Contractors, had started a manufacturing building for the Metal
Products Corporation, who manufactured rear axles for the Hudson
automobiles, I immediately contacted then on the ground's where
they were staking out the building, and was told that they already
had their organization formed, but that I could go to work with
my tools until something better turned up, I did just that, and
it turned out just that way. The construction foreman went on a
binge and I was asked to take over his duties while he was away.
I stayed in that position until the job was completed.

161.

I also had charge of the shipping dock buildings,
and just as we were finishing, I had the misfortune of
falling from a slipping ladder and landed with my shin bones
under me on the top of a 6" concrete driveway curb, which kept
me from working for several weeks.

I wrote my wife and had her come up and stay a while with
me at Sharrer's, and we took a sightseeing trip by boat to Put
In Bay, in Lake Erie. Then, as I was unable to work as yet, I
returned home with her.

In the late fall of 1911 my brother, Charles and I went to
Kianistee, Michiaan, by train to look for some timber land, and
Hammel Kahn And Company of Manistee took us to see several
places. We first made a trip to Bear Lake,' in a Packard seven
passenger car. That day it snowed and drifted and turned very
cold, and we had to abandon the Packard when it stalled with a
bursted wheel housing, and they picked us up in a two horse sleigh
and returned us to Bear Lake.

The next day we used the sleighs, but we didn't find anything
we wanted those two days.

The same company had a three-quarter section of land near
Hoxeyville that was partially covered with saw timber, but the
weather was rough and many roads blocked. However, we could get
within one mile of this land by the R. G. Peters narrow gage
logging railroad that ran from East Lake at Manistee, to Hoxey-
ville; then on to their farthest logging camp. Old Camp S.,
about nine miles north and east of Hoxeyville.

On the third morning we went across East Lake to Peters
Saw Mill and boarded the Caboose of the early train to Camp S.
They stopped the train at Ferguson Crossing about one mile south
of the south line of the land and we walked the remainder of the
trip and looked the timber over.

This land laid in Wexford County, about three or four miles
north and a little west of Hoxeyville, and the narrow gage ran
across the northeast corner of the northeast quarter of the
section, where the bulk of the saw timber lay on its way from
Hoxeyville to Camp S., and afforded a place to deck timber,
accessible to the railroad where the R, G. Peters Company could
load it on cars and cart it to their mill at East Lake.

There was a good gravel road running North from Hoxeyville,
and just north of town a good gravel road running east and west,
intersected, and about a mile west of this intersection near
Ferguson Crossing, the road went north - then ended at the south
line of the section in which the land in question was located.

The road department had just let a contract to grade and
gravel a new section of road from the end of this road north to
the center of the section; thence west 'H mile to the west line
of the section; thence north on the west section line to the northj
section line where it connected with a road running east and west,
which later became State Road No, 55. This new road gave us access
to the southwest and southeast quarters, on the center line of the |
section and cornered with the southwest corner of the northeast
quarter, which was okay.

162.

We decided to buy this land, so we returned that evening on
the same train loaded with logs for the mill.

After making arrangements to purchase we went by train to
Mesick - then to Cadillac - then caught the night train on the
G, R, & I, Spur to Lake City, where we called our Uncle John
Franklin Eubank by phone, who operated a general store at
Morey about eight or nine miles north of Lake City, and he sent
his son, Ralph, in with a sleigh to pick us up. The road was
very rough and icy and we had to travel in the fields a big part
of the way, Ralph had just arrived home with his buck deer that
evening and Aunt Lydia prepared us a venison meal; that was quite
a rare experience for us from Indiana at that time, as I had not
as yet started to hunt deer. After a much appreciated visit we
returned to our homes.

The next summer I went up to Hoxeyville and stayed at the
Carlson's, who lived just south of our land, and made arrange-
ments to sell the timber, to the R. G, Peters Lumber Company -
to be delivered at the aforesaid rail tracks, and made partial
arrangements with Alf Scarbrough, to swamp out and skid, haul and
deck the logs and bolts, which he later did.

On September 19, 1912, Charles and his family shipped their
goods by railroad boxcar to Cadillac, Michigan, and the family
travelled over land by covered wagon, (see the life of Charles
Franklin Eubank for details of this trip. Page 134,)

Father and Mother, and Brother Lessel also had gone there,
presumably at the same time, and in late October Ethel and I loaded
our household goods into a railroad boxcar and billed them to
Cadillac, and we and Austin went by passenger train to Cadillac,
where Lessel and Clarence met us with two wagons and teams, and
hauled our belongings to the land where we were assembling for
the purpose of cutting the timber.

When we arrived there we found Charles had built a small
house on the southwest quarter of the section and Father, Mother
and Lessel were starting a house on the southeast quarter, so I
built a two room shack on the same quarter, about forty rods
north of their place,

I just got it finished and our goods moved in at night,
and when I opened the door the next morning the snow fell in
across the floor. The snow as I remember now, was about thirty
inches deep on the level; there were many logs near, but we
had to hunt and uncover them so as to get fire wood, as we had not
as yet had time to prepare for the winter that was upon us,

I hired a swamper and a skidder and father, Charles, Lessel
and I cut logs all winter; as I remember, Clarence and Roy,
Charles' boys, and my son, Austin, went to school, to a little
country school that stood on the east side of the road just
before the old road entered the newly made road at the south edge
of our land, and just west of the Carlson farm buildings. Of
course, they took their place in helping with the timber cutting
(when they weren't in school), I remember that I was elected on
the school board, just about as soon as we arrived there, and had
to hire the teacher and manage the school business, for which at
that time our work was donated,

163.

We cut about 300,000 board feet of saw logs, and 300 cords
of bolts, with crosscut saws and had then hauled and decked or
corded, near the railroad as previously mentioned, where they
were loaded on bunk cars, and hauled to the R. G, Peters Saw
Hill at East Lake, Manistee.

We ceased cutting timber when the snow left in the spring,
and Charles moved over on the Peterson farm, where there were
good buildings, and ample open land to farm. Father, mother and
Lessel decided to return to Marion, Indiana and I cleared up some
rather open land on the quarter near the buildings that father
and Lessel had erected and moved into their place, as they had
a barn,

I purchased a cow, so as to have our own milk and butter,
bought back their horse, which I had previously owned, and a spare
horse that Charles had, and started farming, with the idea to
continue with the timber cutting come winter, and snow to work
on,

I raised Navy beans and potatoes and had a fair crop; then
late in the summer a timber fire started somewhere not far from
Manistee, and travelled all the way to near Hoxeyville, and in
spite of our fighting, along with help from the land owners, it
completely destroyed our timber.

We managed to keep it from burning our buildings, but it
did destroy our cabin that we had built over in the timber terri-
tory, in which was stored most of our timber cutting tools,

I felt that there was nothing left here to look forward to
at the time, so in the fall of 1913 I disposed of the livestock,
buggy and what farming tools I had, and Ethel took me to Harrietts
to catch the train for Detroit, with the understanding that as soot
as I got settled, she would follow,

I got a job as carpenter boss on the 1200 foot manufacturing
building that was just starting for theDodge Brothers Manufacturing
Company at their plant sight, A strike soon developed among the
construction workers, which tied up the job, I talked to the
employment agent for the Dodge Company, and he gave me a bench i
job in the factory, I could not stand breathing the metal dust
in that department, so soon went looking for another job.

My friend, Edward Sharrer, heard about the tieup on the Dodge
job. and knowing that I had gone to work there, called me, saying
that he had talked to the general superintendant for the Larou j
Construction Company, who had the contract for the Mack Printing
Company to be built on the corner of John R, and Elizabeth Streets,
which had already begun construction and they were in need of a
man in my capacity, I went to the job, and talked to the super-
intendant and he gave me a job as assistant foreman, which developel
into construction superintendant, which lasted until the nine storyj
steel reinforced concrete building was finished. When I landed i
this job I v;rote for my wife, Ethel, and she had Charles load and J
ship the household goods, to Detroit, and she came on the train j
and we started housekeeping again, in an apartment above Alva
Eubank 's and John Bowman's Grocery Store and Meat Market, on
Hamilton Boulevard, Detroit,

164.

From the mack job I went to the bakery job on Grand River,
for the same contractors, until the job was ready to pour the
first floor above the subbasement. At that time I decided to qo
to Marion, Indiana, where my father, mother and brother, Lessel
had gone, when they left Wexford County, Michigan, I had succe-
eded this far in acquiring much knowledge and experience in
structural steel and steel reinforced concrete construction, and
was very much interested in architectural designing and drawing,
so when we arrived in Marion, I set about to prepare myself for
the occasion, I signed up with the international correspondence
school for a course in architectural drawinq and engineering,
and while I was studying this I did contracting of residences
and farm buildings, and general construction, in and ' around
Marion,

Eventually I had prepared myself to design and draw plans
for buildings, and had drawn a fevi house jobs for a contractor
that I knew in Detroit.

While the war with Germany was in progress and construction
work was slow, I operated a real estate and insurance business,
but as soon as business picked up again I went back into the
building business.

In 1924 I, with my wife and mother, visited an aunt in
South Bend, and while there a cousin of mine who worked for the
Indiana and Michigan Electric, mentioned that the company was
getting ready to build a substation east of Notre Dame and was
looking for a man to supervise the construction; said if I was
interested he would take me out to see them, I was, and we called
on the engineer at the sight, which resulted in me accepting the
job.

During the time this was under construction we moved to South
Bend. We completed the job late in the fall of 1924; then I did
some drafting. My first job here was to draw the plans for a
church at Bertrand, Michigan, just north of the Indiana and
Michigan State line.

The following year, 1925, I built a new residence at 1S25
Brookfield Street in Marquette Park Addition, where we lived for
a few years. At the time, I had taken a job doing the drawing
for residences in Marquette Park, Woodlawn and South Studebaker
Additions to South Bend, and the supervision of construction
for same, for the Home Grafters of South Bend,

By about 1928 we had sold the Brookfield residence and
built another at 2013 Freemont Street, in the same addition and
I had gone to work for the Belleville Lumber & Supply Company,
who owned and operated 11 lumber yards within a radius of 25
miles of South Bend, and at that time were qettinq ready to
build the 12th yard in South Bend,

These yards belonged to William H, Mass and they already had
a yard at Mishawaka, Indiana, and his first owned home yard was
at North Liberty, Indiana.

This yard was to have a modern up to date mill, electrically
operated, and a dry kill, in which to dry lumber.

My job was to draw plans and specifications for prospective
home builders or owners, sell materials, and supervise construct-
ion. I also wrote the contracts for all construction, where I
drew the plans, between the owner and the Belleville Lumber &
Supply Company,

165,

I started in by helping to construct the buildings for
the new yard and mill, I worked in the aforesaid capacity for
many years. In about 1936, due to the war, and when the depres-
sion was at its lowest ebb, only two or three houses were built
in both South Bend and Mishawaka, and Belleville's management
and sales group had diminished from a healthy number of more
than twenty employees to a meager eight or nine, including the
truck drivers, and every employee was forced to take a two weeks
vacation without pay, and my salary had diminished to $15.00 a
week, for 5-9 hour days. I decided to try something else, so
I joined partnership with an old grocery man and we rented a two
room store building, on Portage near downtown; cut out a part
of the partition and stocked a meat and vegetable room on one
side and a grocery on the other side, and started in business.
This was during the time when the W, P. A, was in force, and
the U. S. Government gave the workers a meager check of a few
dollars, payable every two weeks, and distributed surplus foods
to the needy.

We did a reasonably large business, but at a very small
profit. I have a picture taken of the front of the store building,
from the sidewalk, showing some advertisements, which, in those
days were painted on the glass of the display windows. One of
these adds said hamburger (3 lbs., 250:), and many other meat and
grocery items at comparable prices.

This business was out of my scope of experience, so as soon
as the worst part of this terrible depression had ceased, and the
Belleville Lumber Company's business had begun to climb, I went
back to my old job.

While operating the store we lived in an apartment near the
store, and rented our 2013 Fremont Street home furnished; then,
after selling the store business we vacated the renters and
returned there for a while; then, purchased a four apartment
house at 2507 Linden Avenue and moved there.

We lived in the ground floor apartment, and rented the
three others, and sold the Fremont Street property. <

During this time, in about 1942, I purchased a farm of
eighty acres, three miles North, and one mile east of Dowagiac,
Michigan, on the Attwood Road, and in the year of 1943 we did
considerable remodelling of the house and farm buildings, and
rented the farm to a rather old couple that thought they could
still farm, but really they were too old to even try farming, so I ,
discontinued my services with the Belleville Lumber Company in 1944
and moved to the farm, I purchased some farming machinery, brood
dows, milch cows, chickens, and a span of three and four year old
horses, and started farming.

This was at a time when, unless you had priorities, you could
not purchase a tractor, so I was compelled to farm with horses; '
then, eventually, I got an opportunity to purchase a John Deere |
tractor from a neighbor and sold the horses. At that time we did •
general farming, milked cows, separated the milk, and sold the '
cream to the creamery. j

We raised some wheat to sell, but mostly raised corn and
oats, alfalfa and brohm hay and fed most of the crops to chickens,
hogs and beef cattle. We specialized on white rock chickens,
thoroughbred duroc hogs and beef cattle,

166.

raising our own chickens and hogs, and buying young western beef
cattle to feed for market. We rented extra ground for corn and
purchased only minerals and supplements to balance our feeds.
This experience we found to be profitable, and we all loved the
farm very much. However, there came a time in 1953, when my
wife was seventy years old, and I was following close behind, so
we decided to quit farming.

I had the opportunity of returning to the Belleville Lumber &
Supply Company and take up where I had left off in 1944.

By this time our son, Robert, had completed his time with the
U. S. Service, and education at Michigan State College, and had
married, so they took over the farm work and Ethel and I returned
to South Bend; rented a furnished apartment, and in February of
1953 I began once more to work for the Belleville Lumber Company,
who by this time had turned the yard over to the W. H. Mass
Wholesale Department of the company, and moved the retail lumber
and building materials department to East Jefferson Street, down-
town South Bend, Indiana.

I did real well financially the last hitch; was there from
February, 1953 until January, 1955, when I retired from Belleville.
During this last period I drew the plans for several new homes
and commercial buildings, and much remodelling, and when I let the
jobs to contractors I usually supervised the construction for the
owners and Belleville Lumber Company.

My last two jobs that I did before retiring I contracted
through Belleville Lumber Company. One, a country residence near
the Indiana State Road No, 55, west of Mishawaka, and the other,
the Gold Star Bakery on Western Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, which
detained me somewhat in getting started on our vacation in Florida.

We went to Florida in January or February of 1955, going first
to Kissimmee to see my brother, Lessel and family, who had gone
there in the fall of 1954 to make Kissimmee their home.

We visited them there; then went over to Daytona to see
my cousin, Alva Eubank and family; then on to Wabasso and the
Atlantic Coast where we visited two of my cousins and their
families, the Swaims and Clocks, on my mother's side of the house.
Here we stayed a month and did some Indian River and Atlantic surf
fishing. We then toured other portions of Florida sightseeing and
returned home in March.

We had the farm up for sale, and after selling it, we had a
public auction, selling the livestock, farming equipment, household
furniture and all but a medium sized U haul load of personal belong-
ings, attached to the trailer hitch, we boarded our auto for Florida,

We arrived at Kissimmee, Florida about the first of May, 1955,
and rented a furnished apartment for three months, and during this
time we purchased a one story house with a 100 foot square corner
lot on Ingram Street, which we remodelled and added to, making an
extra three room apartment with bath and front porch, to rent.
Afterwards, I used the apartment as an office and drawing room.
We then purchased a mobile home and set it in the Brockway Court,
one mile south of VJabasso. This was about 2^5 miles from Wabasso
Beach and about nine miles from the Sebastian Inlet, from the
ocean to the Indian River, which took in most of our river and surf

157.

fishing territory, and was 85 miles from our home in Kissimmee,

The Metzqers from South Bend, who were general contractors,
and whom I had serviced, from theBel levil le Lumber Company, for
several years, had purchased the Kissimmee Lumber Company, and
requested my assistance, and as soon as we were settled I went
to work part time for them, drawing plans and assisting them
in sales.

I was 69 years old at this time, and it was my intention to
retire when I decided to go to Florida. However, between the
lumber company's work, which included much F, H, A, drawing,
and demands by the general public, it seemed to have changed
my mind somewhat, and I was forced to lock up at times and
retreat to our hide-out at VVabasso, in order to get some
recreation and rest.

I loved my work very much, and in 1957 I drew the plans for
the Elks Temple Building, Kissimmee Elks Lodge No, 1873, and
supervised the construction for the Elks.

I continued with my work here until May 1, 1960, when I
decided that it was time for me to retire in reality.

During this time my wife, Ethel's eyesight had failed -
having had an operation on the right eye for glaucoma, the left
eye being completely blind. We decided to return to our residence
in Indiana.

We sold our place in Kissimmee, lock, stock and barrel, rented
a U haul, and loaded it with our personal items, and returned to
our son, Bobs, v;ho lived near to our old farm neighborhood, until
we could locate a place to live in that vicinity.

We purchased our present location at Twin Lakes, about a mile
across the fields east from our old farm home, and installed a
mobile home there, and for the next five years we spent from nay
1st, to November 1st here, and from November 1st to May 1st, in
our mobile home in Florida, and this to me was the ideal arrange-
ment for us.

In 1966 my wife had to have a serious operation, and because
of this, and not being able to see we have never returned to
Florida since. I have discontinued doing any more work for the
public. I am now 8S years old, and my last job of any importance
was desianing and drawina the plans for a non denominational
church, known as the Barbee Communitv overlooking little Barbee
Lake, in Kosciusko County, Indiana. The minister, a former buildin
contractor, and now an ordained minister, who is my sister's
daughter's son, the Rev. Bryce H. Foster, (see paaes 150 and 152).

All of my life, since 1900, I have been an ardent lover of
hunting and fishing, and have spent much of my spare time doing
just that. Since 1940 I have participated in many deer hunting
trips, both the Michigan U. P., and the L. P. in search of the
wily v/hite tail. For the past few years I have confined my deer
hunting to Cass County territory, where I have killed three deer,
the last of which I killed in 1972, when I was 86 years old, and
I am planning on hunting again in November, 1974, I had a shot
at a big rack last November, but he was a little to far away for
the shot gun, and I can't use my 300 savaae in this territory.
So long for now,

Oren E, Eubank.

SKETCH BY SON ALFRED

As I look back on the life of my father, Alva Alfred Ruble,
it seems that it was rather legendary. His move to Michigan by
covered wagon - leaving loved ones and acquaintances and the
"good land," to dwell among strangers, and on rather poor land.
Then there were many subsequent moves - all the way to southern
Tennessee and back. To us now as we look back, he was something
of the type of Abraham, as he to was a friend of God, and had
daily communion with God; family wise, his was somewhat on the
order of the Patriarch Jacob's, except eight sons and one daughter,
instead of twelve sons and one daughter,

God moves in mysterious ways - his wonders to perform, v;hy
did Alva Ruble leave loved ones to go into a strange land - then
to other strange lands in subsequent moves? This has often been
the topic of conversation among his sons: Exposed to all kinds
of communities and living conditions as the family grew up and
gave each child a wide range of experience. The family became
tradesmen, businessmen, church workers and ministers. Like
Abraham, Alva Ruble was zealous for God's cause; a Prophet in
his own right; a farmer - preacher. It is worthy to note that
although he was never a full time pastor except for two years,
his three youngest sons have served 33 years each for a total of
99 years in the active ministry, at the end of the present year;
and yes, our mother, Ida Peal, was indeed a "Mother in Israel,"
and stood by our father all the way.

ELIZA JANE KETNER

Eliza Jane (Eubank) Ketner, (the daughter of Joseph and

Charles Elmer Ketner, born September 1, 1883;
John Floyd Ketner, born July 1, 1893;
Daisy Pearl Ketner, born July 19, 1895.

EULOGY BY THE WRITER

Joseph B, Ketner was a blacksmith by trade, and at one time
prior to moving to Michigan, they lived in Van Buren, Grant County,
Indiana, and he owned and operated a shop, about a block or two
north of the main street crossing there, and at the same time we
lived on the main east and v/est street, a few city blocks west
of the main street crossing. Our families were very closely
associated. William Henry Ketner, "Bill we called him," was
away from home, out west much of the time. Charles v;as a little
older than I, but he and I spent much of our idle time together.
Floyd was seven years younger than I, and Pearl five years younger,
and of course, the difference in our ages kept us apart generally.
My family missed them very much when they moved to Michigan, which
was July 1, 1905, and I never saw Uncle Joseph again after that.

They eventually moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, and lived
there until Uncle Joe's death.

He was buried in Rees Cemetery at Battle Creek.

Eliza Jane (Eubank) Ketner, and Ida Rosana (Eubank) (Miller)
(Shaffer, were sisters and both married brothers, Joseph B, and
John Nelson Ketner, respectively, who by this time, had been dead
many years.

Aunt Jane lived with her sister, Ida for sometime previous
to her death, and I remember on one occasion not long before she
passed away, my wife, Ethel, and I, were visiting with Marcella
and Jay Jones, and other relatives around Lake City, Michigan,

73 years, 11 months and 7 days,

John Franklin passed away December 2, 1944, at the age
of 86 years, 1 month and 1 day.

As I don't have a biology sketch of John Franklin Eubank's
life, I will just write of him and his family from memory, which
goes back to when Uncle John lived on a farm west, perhaps a
couple of miles from Banquo, Indiana,

This was in about 1900, and I shall hereafter refer to him
as "Uncle," He was about 42 years young and I was a lad of about
14 years. Along about that time he and my father did some car-
pentry and masonry construction work together; sort of a
partnership affair. It v/as about this time that Arthur Eubank,
Uncle Aaron Eubank's son, left his father's home in Marion,
Indiana on horseback bound for Colorado, He had stopped at
Uncle Johns to say goodby to them, and when he left there he
rode his horse along the side of the road to keep him off of
the gravel.

To us boys he was a cowboy, and the next day when we stopped
there to call on them, we followed the horse's hoof prints for
some distance westward along the road, and when I think of it
now, I sometimes wonder just what was going through our minds at
that time.

Sometime later on Uncle moved to the Green farm, northeast
of Lafountain, Indiana, and I remember that my brother, Everett
and I, visited them there over a weekend. They were having
Uncle John and Aunt Ida Ketner, and a cousin of ours, Delia
(Eubank) Schofield and her husband, Joseph, and others there,
and on Saturday we took a tent and camping equipment to the
Missinewa River, and pitched the tent near a flowing well not

247,

far from the Conner's mill, and Uncle John Eubank, Uncle John
Ketner, and Joe Schofield, and us boys, camped and fished that
niqht and the next morning.

Then, on Sunday, they served a big dinner and frozen ice
cream and we had a real outing.

Uncle eventually quit farming and purchased a general
store at what was known as Troy City, just a few buildings,
located in the oil field on State Road 218 about four miles east
from State Road 9 and 37, in Huntington .County, Indiana, He
operated this store, I think, until Marcella was born, which
was in 1904, I was 17 years plus then, and I visited them
there and went with Uncle in a tv/o horse wagon to Warren, Indiana,
to pick up a shipment of groceries for the store. Not long after
that, because of Aunt Lydia's health condition, they sold out and
moved to Morey, Michigan, a little place north of Lake City, on
State Road No, 66, where Uncle owned and operated a general store
and cream testing station.

In 1911 my brother, Charles and I purchased a three quarter
section of timber land near Hoxeyville, about forty miles west of
Uncle's store, and while there we went over to Cadillac and boarded
a train on the G,R,&I, Branch Road to Lake City. We arrived about
dark and called Uncle that we were there, and he sent Ralph in with
horse and sleigh and picked us up. The snow was very deep and we
drove most of the six or seven miles through the fields. Upon
arrival we found that Ralph had just returned that evening with
a buck deer, so we had venison to eat and a very nice visit with
them and Ralph and Marcella, who were at home yet, Marcella being
only seven years old.

Uncle eventually sold the store and retired to a cottage at
Missaukee Lake at the edge of Lake City, and in about 1934, when
Ethel and I were operating the Porgage Grocery and Market at
South Bend, Indiana, Ethel, Bob and I took a fishing trip to Bear
Lake, Michigan - camped in the tent at Bear Lake there for a couple,
of days; then drove east across country to Lake City, and camped
in the Lake Missaukee Park near Uncle John's cottage for several
days, and Uncle John and us had a lot of fun fishina and a v^onder-
fui visit with them. At this time several of the Eubank relatives
were living there, namely Aunt Jane Ketner and her son, VJilliam;
Aunt Lib Mitchell; Aunt Ida (Ketner) (Miller) Shaffer, and Edith
Moon, Lena, (Eubank) (Miller), Travis's dauqhter, Lena and Frank
Travis had purchased property there and did move there later j ^^^
were there visiting at the time. In 1919 Uncle David Eubank came
east on a visit, and he and Uncle John came to Marion, Indiana
and visited us for a few days, and from that time on, as long as
Aunt Lydia lived, we made periodical trips to Lake City to visit i
them. Uncle's last visit with us was in about 1942 at our apart-
ment house at 2507 Linden Avenue, South Bend, Indiana; early in
the morning, I took him to Elkhart to catch the Big Four Train
to go to his son, Alva's, at Lafountain, Indiana, He had remarked
at the breakfast table that this would probably be his last trip
to visit us, and as he spoke, the big tear drops rolled down over ,
his cheeks. He loved to live, and I think he got more pleasure
out of life than anyone else I ever knew,

A BIT OF HISTORY BY HIS FAMILY

After Alva and Belva were married, on November 25, 1903 he
worked for Spauldings Grocery in Banquo, Indiana. His job was
to equip and drive a Huxter wagon over several different routes
that extended from the store in separate directions throughout
the farming territory, a different route each day and on the same
day each week.

He carried a complete line of groceries, cured meats and
other supplies, used by the farmers, and he would drive in close
to the farmhouse and the housewife could select the things she
needed. Pretty much like trading at the grocery store in those
days. He purchased a home in Banquo and lived there until in
the fall of 1914, when he and his brother-in-law, John Bowman,
started a partnership grocery and meat market on Hamilton Boule-
vard in Detroit, Michigan. After two years they sold out and
Alva, with his family, Belva, Glen and Claud, moved to Morey,
Michigan, where his father, John F. Eubank operated a grocery
and cream testing station, and worked with him. After two years,
in 1918, he moved his family back to Indiana to the Bois farm near
Lafountain, and began a farming career. They stayed on this farm
for about 22 or 23 years. In 1942 he quit farming and moved to
Marion, Indiana, v/here they operated a food market on North Wash-
ington Street, until about 1953, when he retired and went to Day-
tona Beach, Florida, to live near where his youngest son, Claud
lived at that time,

Belva's health had begun to fail and in 1957 they returned
to Gas City, Indiana, where their son. Glen, and family lived,
and purchased a home at 231 South C. Street, 46933, in order to
be near them. They still reside there as of this date, January
12, 1974.

Alva is now 91 years, 8 months and 27 days of age and;

Belva is now 89 years, 2 months and 1 day of age.

Alva is the oldest Eubank born with the name "Eubank,"
living as of the above date. He has been in the River View Manor,
a convalescent home on North Washington Street, Marion, Indiana,
for the past two years,

Alva passed away March 14, 1974 and was laid to rest in their
family plot in the LaFontaine, Indiana cemetery near his daughter.
Opal, and his father and mother.

No children were born to this union,

Ralph and Sue lived in Lansing, Michigan for many years
and Ralph worked for the Olds Automobile Manufacturing Company,
from which he had been retired, in about the year of 1953. At
that time they lived at 315 Barns Avenue. They purchased a
home at Daytona Beach, Florida shortly afterv/ards and moved
there to live.

My wife, Ethel and I visited them there in 1955, at their
home across the river, and the last time we visited them at
Daytona, they had purchased an apartment uptown, near U.S. Road
No. 1, and built a new garage with an apartment on the second
floor where they lived, separate from the apartment. Ralph had
just had a cerebral stroke and was convalescing from the affects.
I believe this was in May of 1964. Ralph's brother, Alva and
his son, Claud, and their families, were still living there, in
Daytona, and we visited them also, Ralph and Sue, because of
his physical condition, shortly afterwards, moved back to their
place on Barns Avenue, Lansing, Michigan, where they remained until
Ralph passed away on September 10, 1964.

Sue is at present (February 3, 1973,) approaching 84 years
of age, and recently gave up caring for their home at 815 Barns
Avenue, and moved to an apartment at 3031 South Washington Avenue,
Apartment N. I., Lansing, Michigan, 48910.

i
This recording reproduced by the writer from an editorial ■"

published by the Lake City, Michigan newspaper. The Waterfront,
on October 23, 1974,

MARCELLA JONES - STILL YOUNG AND ACTIVE AT 70,

Marcella Jones was two years old when her family came from
Wabash County, Indiana in 1906, John and Lydia Eubank chartered
a railroad boxcar where they lived in LaFountain, Indiana, and
loaded one end with their household goods, and the other with
their team of horses and impliments. The car was then shipped
to Manton, Michigan, where John moved the contents to the Morey
Store about six miles north of Lake City, on what is now State
Road 66.

This was a general store which also housed the local post
office, cream and pickle stations, Marcella's brother, Alva
and her brother-in-law. Homer Arnold, ran the creamery and
pickle departments. When Marcella was 14 years old she also
helped in the business and did the paper work. for the company.
Life was hard for the Eubank *s at the store and Marcella learned
young how to work. She recalled, in 1971: I would take the
team and stone boat, and pick up camp # 4's laundry from the
train and take it to Mrs. Stewarts. She would wash it and I
would take it back to the train, to go to camp.

I got $2.00 for this and thought it was a gold mine. The
logging train ran past the Morey Store on its way to Jennings.
My daddy and I would get on the caboose and deliver cases of
eggs to town. I was what they termed a tomboy, herding cows
to pasture and chopping wood to burn. We made it the hard way.

258.

She also chauffeured for her father, who never drove a car,
delivering supplies to the lumber camps. John also hauled freiqht
with horse conveyances, the six miles to Lake City. fiarcella
"stressed" things were hard, but we v/ere a loving family. Dad
lost money in the store. Good natured, he couldn't say "no,"
when people needed credit, but he still had to pay for his
supplies, however, we had a lot of fun, f^iother was quiet, and
I guess I take after dad who had the gift to gab,

Marcella still flushes with the happiness she knew when she
met Jay Jones at 16, She said he caught up v/ith me. Jay walked
eight miles to see me; didn't have a car or a buggy. He was from
Luther; spent four years in the U, S, Service, VJhen the couple
decided to get married, Marcel la's parents told her she would have
to work and earn her own clothes, so she went to Grand Rapids,
where she worked in a cigar factory, and a dime store. She
remembered, "I made $12, a week and paid $4. for board, room and
washing to r-lrs. Minnie Smith.

Jay had been working at Boyne City in a foundry. On February
12, 1923 he and Marcella were married.

They stayed in Grand Rapids until April when they came back
to Lake City, due to the illness of Jay's father, who was farming.
Marcella asked, "can you imagine a bride moving into a two room
bachelor's quarters. He was a dear old man though and we got
along so good.

Jay and Marcella were happy and had a good life, even though
times were hard.

She said we milked cows and raised beans. Cream was .12(£ a
pound and eggs .10(t a dozen. I used to walk a couple of miles
after the cows. Nights we went horseback riding. I used to start
after the cows about four o'clock and had to hunt them and get them
back in time to fix supper.

Marcella and Jay had one child, a son, James, in 1926, who
married the former Wanda Everett, also of Lake City.

James had three children, a son who is a school teacher, a
daughter who works at Dow Chemical in Midland, and a son still
in high school.

Marcella lost Jay five years ago. She said he was a wonderful
husband, and she missed his companionship very much as we got along
so well together.

Today life is still rough for Marcella, who has a hard time
making ends meet on $200. a month, even though she has built up
her social security by doing housework. She hauls slab wood from
the sawmill with her 1940 Ford tractor and small trailer. After
unloading it, she bucks it up with a sweede saw to use in her
combination wood and gas stove, to save fuel.

She also uses the tractor to disk her garden, where she
raises and cans much of her food; runs a roto tiller and lawn
and raises rabbits and chickens.

Selling avon cosmetics and keeping deer hunters in season
are also ways Marcella adds to her income.

She has a 1967 Ford car she drives to Midland once a month
to see her family, and expects to drive it another ten years.

Marcella's sister, Daisy, past "1, is still living and she
has her son and family and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

269.

She enjoys visiting.

Even though Marcella's life hasn't been on easy street,
she still bubbles over with her love of life and oeople. She
remarked "life" is doing for others, going places and mingling
with people. The kids are good to me, and I've always said it
pays to be nice to everybody - you get it in return.

Probably the oldest settler in the Morey area, Marcella will
be 70 years old on November 8, 1974, which makes her even more of
an amazing woman.

The Water Front is also proud that Marcella Jones has been
a correspondent for ten years, faithfully reporting her neighbor-
hood news. She also belongs to the Senior Citizens Club, two
ladies aids, and the Auxiliary of the American Legion.

ADDED BY THE WRITER

I am also proud to have the opportunity to record the fore-
going editorial, and having enjoyed many visits with Marcella and
Jay over the past several years, I am including the following
hunting experience.

As previously arranged, during the open season of 1949, I
drove from the farm here near where we now live, to Jay and
Marcella Jone's farm home, eight miles north of Lake City on
State Road 66, and where Marcella still lives at this time, and
hunted the illusive white tail, in company with Jay, Ralph Eubankj
Marcella's brother and her son, James,

I stayed a week - had a private double bed to sleep in and
had good food prepared by Marcella herself.

The four of us rode with Ralph in his Olds Sedan and we
hunted pretty much together,

James got a spike the first day - over in the hills, east
of where they lived, and one day James ran into a black bear
as he topped one of the hills east of the big swamp, I was over
on the next ridge north and could see the bear, but wasn't close
enough to get a shot. There was about four inches of snow on
the ground, and looking from one knob over to another snow covered
knob, even if it was quite a distance, it wasn't hard to see what
was going on.

As James approached the top of the ridgej which slanted down-
ward very quickly to the east and away from him, a black bear
that was quite large, came up the slope toward him. As soon as
the bear topped the ridge, James stopped, but the bear not seeing
James, kept on moving toward him at a very fast pace, James
brought the 30/30 carbine to bear on the animal's chest at a
range of less than a hundred feet and fired. The bullet struck
the bear in the left shoulder, but failed to penetrate a vital
spot, and he increased his speed and ran almost into a second
hunter, and both were surprised by the other's sudden appearance,
I don't know if the second hunter shot at the bear, but he told
me he was so scared that he couldn't think what to do, and appar-
ently the bear was scared even worse, and in avoiding the hunter,
he ran into a large rather decayed stump that was as large as he
and knocked about half of it out of the ground,

270,

I picked up the tracks at this point, and followed them down to
a small swamp, I had a rule with me and I measured the length
of his jumps, and until he entered the swamp they would have
averaged about 19 feet each,

I picked up three of the boys at the little swamp, and we
followed the tracks across the small swamp to the big swamp.
Night was nearing - I had a whistle with me, so I stayed at
the edge of the swamp and blew the whistle occasionally to guide
them out in the event they became lost,

Ralph Eubank, who had considerable experience hunting bear,
and James Jones, the one that shot the bear in the shoulder and
his father. Jay, followed the tracks into the swamp. They tracked
him to a small stream where he had bathed his wound and the snow
and ice there was red with blood. His track then led into the
more dense part of the swamp, and they came to a spot where they
could no longer walk upright, so they stooped down and looked
under the brush, but saw nithing but what they thought was a big
black stump.

By this time it was getting quite dark, so they decided to
give up the hunt until morning, when they could see and would
return and proceed with the tracking.

About that time they heard a noise in the brush, and they
took another look, and the black stump was gone. They came
out of the swamp and we went home, and that night it came a
big v;et snow that hung on the bushes, so we had to give up the
chase, Ralph said that he might have known that there weren't
any black stumps of that dimension in that swamp and things
could have been different. The hunter that was behind James,
and had the experience with the bear, and another hunter, a friend
of his, were staying where I did and were hunting with us that day,
and they were from Lansing, Michigan,

Marcella is my first cousin, and while I didn't get my buck,
I did have a nice visit with them and "enjoy every minute of ray"
time, just having the opportunity of being there with them,

with snow. Later found the land to be gravelly, and let it go

back,

goodby and left for Danville, Illinois, after which Harry's wife,
I^^arie left Danville to go to Lake City, to be with his mother,

lunch. It was a bitter cold day and a blizzard was in full
force, and the funeral director questioned if or not they
should turn back, however, they did decide to take another road
away from the main storm, and finally found a direct road south
to Battle Creek that was passable, and finally arrived at the
cemetery some hours late and found a number of relatives bundled
up in their cars and in the tent, awaiting their arrival. Among

BRIEF HISTORY AS QUOTED BY HARRY, HIMSELF

I went a short time to high school and dropped out.
Went to Indiana Business College at Marion, Indiana, two
winters, and took shorthand and typewriting.

Worked a short while on books in a lumber yard and in my
Uncle John Ketner*s planning mill.

In 1906 I went to Chicago and worked in Western Electric
Plant on assembling telephone equipment. Took review course in
shorthand at the Gregg School in Chicago, at night. .

Got job as stenographer n an office at Woodstock, Illinois.

Then came the business slump of 1907, and my boss closed
his office and left for Oregon, where he had a fruit farm.

276.

I returned to Chicago and got a job with a boxboard sales
office and worked till the summer of 1908, when I quit and went
I home to North Dakota to spend a summer there.

Since I was at home with my parents and they were invited
to the wedding of a daughter of our good neighbor, the John J.
Lohrs , I was invited too, to the wedding of r-lrs, Beulah Lohr,
to Mr. Claud R, Rowley. There I met the sister of Beulah, f-iiss
M, Marie Lohr,

Later I returned to Chicago - got my old job back and
worked until the next spring, I then quit and went to Indiana
to work with my cousin Ellis Ruble at Warren, Indiana, This
was in March of 1908,

We did concrete and carpenter work through the next

winter, which at times was below zero; also did some ice

cutting.

Ellis used to take large log and frame barns, with siding

and roof pretty well gone, to repair, by putting in a concrete

foundation, and if barn frame was to be moved to another location,

would put rollers under the frame and move it over onto the new
foundation.

The second winter we talked about going to Oklahoma or to
Florida, to work in concrete where it wasn't freezing cold, but
time came and Ellis decided not to go, but I had a little extra
money and started out for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,

On the way I got acquainted with a young fellow

277.

who was going to the same place and we roomed together a while
after we got there.

I didn't find a job there so I went to Chandler, Oklahoma
to see Uncle Joe Ketner's family. While there, I got a letter
from the brother of a friend in Muscogee, who thought he had a
job in the bank for me, but didn't get the job (when they found
I was from out of town.) I went to work bookkeeping for a
piano store. Another fellow got the job as he could play the

piano.

I went into a lumber yard and saw they were rebuilding |
their sheds - man in office said their yard man was busy
supervising the work and they needed someone for the office,

so I worked there for about two weeks until they got the .

sheds done. j

They had 29 line lumber yards.

I then went to the typewriter repair office and asked
them if they knew of any jobs open. They said they had just
fixed a typewriter for a party of engineers, so I went to see
them. I started working for them, typing up rough copy and J
making tracings for their building and electrical inspector.

One engineer got scarlet fever and they took him to the
pest house. The chief engineer in the N, Y. office said I i
could go with a party assigned to Shreveport, La., and Little
Rock, Arkansas, and after that project was finished, they went
back east for vacation and new assignments. These engineers were

278.

I
i

from the National Board of Fire Underwriters of New York
City. I wanted to look into something up at Coffeville,
Kansas, so I went up there and then later back to Indiana and
worked for Ellis again, about two weeks. Then, I got a letter
from the chief of the party of engineers saying if I wanted to
come with them again to meet them in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
which I did on July 11, 1911,

Altogether I was with them on the inspection of 57 cities,
and typed up all the rough copy and final copy, to be sent in
to the New York office for printing,

I went in to the New York office to make the maps for the
reports and was there about a year.

It was about this time that Marie Lohr and I were married,
which took place on February 15, 1916, at the home of Mrs, C. R,
Rowley, Marie's sister at Edgely, North Dakota, Then went to
Newark, New Jersey, and worked for State Rating Bureau about a
year and a half; then back to New York to work for an insurance
broker a few months,

I then went to work for the National Automobile Insurance
Underwriters Conference and was with them about five years, when
we moved west to Danville, Illinois to work for an insurance
printing firm,

I was there 19 years, about a year of which I was acting
manager.

During World War Two, Betty (that is Elizabeth) came to
Michigan to visit a cousin at Lake City, and stopped at Lansing
on her way home and got a job with the Home Defense outfit and
stayed on there,

279.

Margaret was just graduating from high school in
Danville and took a Civil Service exam and passed it.
They wanted her to take a job there, but she decided to go
to Lansing to be with Betty.

About that time we said to ourselves, "we might as
well go to Lansing too," and so we did,

Marie went on ahead of me, and I arrived in Lansing in
May of 1943, I helped to unload some freight and aot back
trouble, and didn't get to go to work until about August 3rd,
when I took a job with the Abrams Instrument Corporation - was
with them twenty months until they got their war contracts done
and then I was laid off, I then went to night school that the
Government was sponsoring, and took a course on drafting, I ^
met a man from lands department and he took me down to personnel,
and they got me a job with engineering and architect section,
conservation department, doing drafting work of bridges over
small streams, I worked with them about 12 years and retired
on January 19, 1957.

A Mr. Albert Sargent was with us as architect and retired
before I did. I worked for him about two years drawing house
plans. He was our very best friend. He went to the hospital
January 12th - had two operations and passed away February 9,
1966.

It was a rather long road that brought us to the wonderful
State of iiichigan.

287,

FINALLY

As I draw this genealogy research work to a close,
I regret that I haven't been able to record something
pertaining to the many more of the accomplishments of
each and every one of the relatives recorded herein, but
without the necessary information I could not do so.

My first request for subscriptions was made to Floyd
Mathias in person, on Narch 22, 1973, and he was my first
subscriber, with a $20,00 bill.

On June 3, 1974, I received my last subscription, col-
lected for, or paid for in advance, making 54 H books sold.

I had originally planned to start publishing when 80 books
were sold, as my contract with the publishers was for 100 books,
at a cost not to exceed S20,00 each, delivered to the purchaser.

At that time I had the promise of at least 70 subscriptions,
however, as time went on and neared the publishing date things
began to tighten up and I fell short of my required goal by
more than 25%,

I talked to my son, Robert about it, and he said to go
ahead with the publishing and he would make up the deficit,
until there can be enough more books sold to pay the cost.

This is the fourth manuscript that I have typed during
the almost eight years of research, and because of numerous
corrections and additions during the last year it has became
more or less soiled.

It is now finished, except that I am retyping it and
should have it done soon,

I have designated the relatives that have purchased
books, up until it goes to press, by using a prefix thus,
*, in front of their name on their recorded page, and I
personally thank each and every one that in any way assisted
me,

I have several subscribers that have said they wanted
a book v/hen they have been made available.

They v/ill be notified when books are ready to deliver,
after which the remaining unsold books will be available to
any relative by writing to:

Oren Emmett Eubank, RFD# 3, Box 157, Dowagiac, Michigan, 49047,
