OBITUARY
IRA C. HORTON

As announced, Wednesday, Ira Coleman Horton died at his home in Howells, Wednesday morning at 3:15, at the age of seventy-three years, six months and twenty-two days.

Mr. Horton was born at Otisville, August 9, 1837, a son of Loton and Adeline Horton. When a young man he went to New York to engage in the milk business and remained there forty years.

Fifteen years ago he returned to Orange county and purchased a farm near Howells, which he improved and occupied up to two years ago when he went to California in the hope of regaining his health, which had been poor, owing to a stroke of paralysis sustained four years previous.

After spending about one year in California, it was apparent to Mr. Horton and the members of his family that the change of residence did not prove as beneficial as had been hoped and it was decided to return to his former Orange county home there to spend the remaining days of his life.

Mr. Horton had a large circle of friends, being highly esteemed for his sterling character and excellent business ability and his death has caused universal sorrow where ever he was known. Besides his wife, he is survived by one son and three daughters, as follows: Burre L., of Jersey City; Gertrude Ida, wife of Coe H. Corwin, of this city; Edith A. and Florence E., at home.

The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the late home. Interment at New Vernon.

8008 Migrated to New England on the 'Lyon' arriving at Nantasket 23 August 1631 at age 13 with his parents and siblings Phillips, 20, Sarah 11, John, 8, and Robert, 2. Settled at Charlestown, Massachusetts, Hartford, Connecticut and Northampton, Massachusetts. LYMAN, Richard (I37317)
 
8009 Migrated to New England the first time aboard the 'Lyon', November 1631, age 25, as the head of a group consisting of his first wife, Martha, sister Mary, step-mother Margaret (Tyndal) Winthrop, and half-brother, Adam (youngest half sister Anne, age about a year and half, died at sea a week after their departure from England), and the widow and infant daughter of his brother Henry Winthrop, joining his father Gov. John Winthrop and brothers Stephen and Samuel who had come in the Winthrop Fleet at Boston. His brother Henry had drowned on arrival at Salem in July 1630. Settled at Boston, became a founder of Agawam (Ipswich), later of Saybrook, Pequot (New London), New Have and Hartford, Connecticut.

After the death of his first wife and daughter at Ipswich, John sailed back to England in 1634 'in the winter time, in a small and weak ship, bound for Barnstaple, were driven by foul weather upon the coast of Ireland...and were brought, through many desperate dangers, into Gallway.' From there he went to Dublin, Antrim, into Scotland and England 'and all the way he met with persons of quality, whose thoughts were towards New England, who observed his coming among them as a special providence of God.'

He second arrival in Boston was on the 'Abigail' in October 1635 after ten weeks from Plymouth, England. This time John brought his new wife, Elizabeth, and half-brother Deane Winthrop, about 12. His step-father-in-law, Rev. Hugh Peter was also a passenger. John subsequently was governor of the plantation of Saybrook for a year. In August 1641 he sailed the second time out of New England for London, where he stayed for more than two years. His third trip to New England began at Gravesend in May 1643 but with many delays did not arrive in the colonies until that autumn.

Having obtained grants in the Pequot lands of Connecticut, John eventually removed from Massachusetts, settled at New London, and shortly later became governor of the Connecticut Colony. He made his third trip back to England in 1661, where he obtained the Royal charter for Connecticut, and returned on his fourth and final trip from England to New England in 1663.

8010 Migrated to Watertown, Massachusetts in 1630, age 20, with his widowed father, siblings Rosamond, 18, Samuel 16, Robert, 13, Henry 11, and Grace 8. His father and most of his siblings (Richard and Samuel remained) returned to England in April 1631. Richard, himself, embarked for England from Nantasket on the Lyon on 23 November 1631, remaining about four and a half years. In the summer of 1635, now 25 (although listed as age 23 in the passenger lis), with his wife "Merriall', age 22, and daughter 'Merriall' aged '9 months,' he embarked at London on the 'Susan and Ellen' and settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts. Richard traveled back and forth between England and New England multiple times over the next decades, the final return in 1688. SALTONSTALL, Maj. Richard Esq. (I89193)

8015 Mildred Margaret Church, daughter of Buel Chester and Mildred Mary (Naylor) Snyder, was born August 21, 1925, in Clinton, and died at the Golden Valley Hospital, Clinton, on October 10, 2000, at the age of 75 years.

She married Edward Lozaw, who preceded her in death on September 8, 1955, and later she married Roehl Church of Deepwater who also preceded her in death on October 17, 1999. Mildred was an active member of the Christian Church of Deepwater, where she led the choir every Sunday. She was a devoted employee of the Wetzel Family for almost 50 years and served in many roles. Mildred will be remembered as one of the finest and most respected historians in Henry County. She was very active in the Henry County Historical Society and served as chair of the Historic Sites Committee. Her accomplishments are countless. She was very instrumental in beginning and maintaining the Henry County Museum, as well as the Deepwater Museum. A few of her fondest accomplishments are the midnight move of the dog Trot Cabin from Montrose to Clinton, which has led to an impressive addition to the Museum. She had a very active role in the restoration and preservation efforts of the Dorman House, and of course her most recent and final accomplishment of authoring the Henry County Pictorial History Book. A favorite pastime of Mildred's was traipsing through cemeteries, uncovering lost and forgotten stones and then recording the history that someone had gotten lost along the way. Words can never describe what a wonderful woman Mildred Church was. She enriched the lives of many and will be sadly missed. Mildred was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Edward Lozaw; her second husband, Roehl Church; four step-sons, Keith Church, Gary Church, Duane Church and John Church. Mildred is survived by her son, Gene Lozaw and his wife, Karen; one step-daughter, Joyce Hills; one sister, Ellen Church; one grandson, Matthew Lozaw; two granddaughters, Shelly Keefe and husband, Sean and Tracy Lozaw; 13 step-grandchildren, Karen, Tommy, Teresa, Debbie, Robbie, Gary Wayne, Laura, Karla, Linda, Kay, Danny, Marty and Joyce Deanna, as well as several great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends. Graveside services were held at the Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, on Friday, October 13. Burial was in the Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, under the direction of Vansant-Mills Funeral Home, Clinton.

8017 Mildred Slawson was born Alphredra Mildred Adams. Her father was Charles Christopher Adams and her mother was Agnes Jane Heaverlo. Charles Christopher was a school teacher and Mildred began teaching at the age of 16. She taught all grades in a one room school. Later, she became a telephone operator in Santa Ana, Calif. She lived on Roe Drive, the same street as the Webber's Bakery. I will always associate trips to her little house with the smell of baking bread. Mildred had five children, Kitty Jane, Victor, Charles (Chick), Robert Thomas, and Peggy. Robert is my father. She lived to the ripe old age of 95.

ADAMS, Alphreda Mildred (I01424)
 
8018 Miles was the son and heir of Walter of Gloucester, hereditary castellan of Gloucester and sheriff of Gloucester, by Berta, his wife. Miles' grandfather, Roger de Pitres, had been sheriff from about 1071, but was succeeded by his brother Durand, the Domesday sheriff, before 1083. Durand was succeeded by his nephew Walter of Gloucester, c.?1096, who was sheriff in 1097 and in 1105?1106. Walter was in favour with Henry I, three of whose charters to him are extant. Walter held the post of a Constable of England. Early in 1121 his son Miles was given the hand of Sibyl, daughter of Bernard de Neufmarché, the conqueror of Brecknock, with the reversion of her father's possessions. In the Pipe Roll of 1130 Walter is found to have been succeeded by his son, having died in or around 1126.
Miles was (from 1128 at least) sheriff of Gloucestershire, a justice itinerant, and a justice of the forest, and sheriff of Staffordshire by 1130. He had also (though the fact has been doubted) been granted his father's office of constable by a special charter. In conjunction with Pain Fitzjohn, sheriff of Herefordshire and Shropshire, he ruled the whole Welsh border "from the Severn to the sea".
On the accession of Stephen he set himself to secure the allegiance of these two lords-marchers, who at length, on receiving a safe-conduct and obtaining all they asked for, did him homage. It was at Reading that they met the king early in 1136. Miles is next found attending the Easter court at Westminster as one of the royal constables, and, shortly after, the Oxford council in the same capacity. He was then despatched to the aid of the widow of Richard fitz Gilbert de Clare, who was beleaguered in her castle by the Welsh and whom he gallantly rescued.[
Meanwhile Miles had married his son and heir, Roger, to Cecily, daughter of Pain Fitzjohn, who inherited the bulk of her father's possessions.[12] In the same year 1136 Miles transferred the original house of Augustinian canons at Llanthony Priory, Monmouthshire to a site on the south side of Gloucester, which they named Llanthony Secunda.[13][14]
Two years later (1138) Miles received, in his official capacity, King Stephen at Gloucester in May.[15] He has been said to have renounced his allegiance a few weeks later,[16] but careful investigation will show that he was with Stephen in August (1138) at the siege of Shrewsbury, and that his defection did not take place till 1139.[17]
In February 1139 Stephen gave Gloucester Abbey to Miles's kinsman Gilbert Foliot at his request.[18] In the summer of 1139, however, he joined his lord, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, in inviting Empress Matilda to England.[19] On her arrival Miles met her at Bristol, welcomed her to Gloucester, recognised her as his rightful sovereign, and became thenceforth her ardent supporter. She at once gave him St. Briavels Castle and the Forest of Dean.[17]
Miles's first achievement on behalf of Matilda was to relieve Brian Fitz Count who was blockaded in Wallingford Castle.[20] In November (1139) he again advanced from Gloucester and attacked and burnt Worcester.[21] He also captured the castles of Winchcombe, Cerne, and Hereford.[22] Meanwhile he was deprived by Stephen of his office of constable.[23] He took part in the victory at Lincoln (2 February 1141),[24] and on the consequent triumph of the empress he accompanied her in her progress, and was one of her three chief followers on her entry (2 March) into Winchester.[25] He was with her at Reading when she advanced on London,[26] and on reaching St. Albans Matilda bestowed on him a house at Westminster.[27] He was among those who fled with her from London shortly after, and it was on his advice, when they reached Gloucester, that she ventured back to Oxford.[28] There, on 25 July 1141, she bestowed on him the town and castle of Hereford and made him earl of that shire,[29] in avowed consideration of his faithful service. With singular unanimity hostile chroniclers testify to his devotion to her cause.[30] He even boasted that she had lived at his expense throughout her stay in England.[31]
As "Earl Miles" he now accompanied her to Winchester,[32] and on the rout of her forces on 14 September 1141 he escaped, with the greatest difficulty, to Gloucester, where he arrived "exhausted, alone, and with scarcely a rag to his back".[33] Towards the end of the year he was in Bristol making a grant to Llanthony Priory in the presence of the Empress Matilda and the Robert, Earl of Gloucester.[34] In 1142 he is proved by charters to have been with the Empress at Oxford and to have received her permission to hold Abergavenny Castle of Brian Fitz Count.[35] It is probably to the summer of this year that he made a formal deed of alliance with the Earl of Gloucester, and as a hostage for the performance of which he gave the Earl his son Mahel.[17]
In 1143 his pressing want of money wherewith to pay his troops led him to demand large sums from the church lands. Robert de Bethune, Bishop of Hereford, withstood his demands, and, on the Earl invading his lands, excommunicated him and his followers, and laid the diocese under interdict.[36] The Earl's kinsman, Gilbert Foliot (Abbot of Gloucester),[37] appealed to the legate on his behalf against the bishop's severity.[38] On Christmas-eve of this year (1143) the Earl was slain while hunting by an arrow shot at a deer.[39] A dispute at once arose for possession of his body between the canons of Llanthony and the monks of Gloucester. The case was heard before the bishops of Worcester, Hereford, and St. David's, and was terminated by a compromise on 28 December. The Earl was then buried in the chapter-house at Llanthony.[40] Miles was succeeded by his son and heir, Roger.[17]
With his death in 1143, Miles was succeeded by his son and heir, Roger,[17]. Roger died without an heir twelve years later in 1155 so the Earldom of Hereford became extinct, but the shrievalty of Hereford and Gloucester passed to his brother Walter. On the death of the latter and two other brothers without issue the family possessions passed to their sisters, Bertha through her marriage bringing Abergavenny to Braose, but Margaret, the eldest sister, taking the bulk (Liber Niger) to the Bohuns afterwards (1199), in recognition of their descent from Miles, earls of Hereford, and constables of England.[41]

8038 Miner Chambers was born ca. 1797 in Pennsylvania, according to census records, or in Germany, according to one researcher. A granddaughter named Eva Kane (born circa 1856), wrote that he "was born in Canada not far from Niagra Falls" and that he died in "Kerokirk" (Keokuk) (County), Iowa. He died between Jan 7 and Apr 18, 1853.

In a letter to William D. Chambers, author of the 1925 book Trails of the Centuries, William L. Chambers, Clerk of the Circuit Court at Brookville, Indiana, stated:

"Minor Chambers (my great-grandfather), was born in Germany. When a young man he went to Canada, then to Switzerland County, Indiana, where he died (date unknown).

"He had married a Miss Lee in Switzerland County, Indiana. Their children were: Sally C., who married a Cunningham; Palace C., who married a Fisher; Elizabeth, who married a William Schook; Thomas W., who married Lovey Lewis--who were my grand-parents; and David Chambers, who married and located in Iowa as a farmer."

Mr. Chambers lists the children of his grandparents as Margaret, Jacob, Sarah Carnine, Moluda Carnine, Mary Clark, William, Charles, and Lewis Calvin (who was his father).

William D. Chambers states, "W.L. is quite sure that his great-grandfather was born in Germany, then went to Canada and later to Switzerland County. As a man by the name of Minor Chambers was born in Canada, then came with others of his family to Switzerland County, it would seem that one historian or the other must be wrong."

Evaline Kane wrote, in 1945: "Elizabeth Chambers (Evaline's mother) was born 8 miles from Veva (Vevay, Switzerland County) Indiana. Her father Minor Chambers was born in Canada not far from Niagera Falls.

"His parents had joined a colony to settle in Penn but when they arrived, grandmother (Sarah) Chambers decided she would not go further until my grandfather was born. There were another woman in the same mind so these three familys settled together and lived there until Grandfather was a young man. Then he started out for himself, bought a farm close to my Great Grandfather Lees. And there married my Grand Mother Lee, whose name was Mary Lee. And Grand Father's name was David Lee and his Father's name was David Lee and his mother's name was Marrie Deaa (D'Ay). . . ."

Miner Chambers married Mariah (Polly) Lee on or after Jul 12, 1818 in Switzerland County, Indiana. The following appears in the records of Switzerland County: "July the 11th 1818. Granted Marriage Licence to Minor Chambers & Mariah Lee certificate of D. Lee the father of said Mariah."

Mariah was born on Aug 16, 1801 in Pennsylvania and died Oct 23, 1846 at the age of 45. She was the daughter of David Lee and Anna Longberry. According to their granddaughter Evaline Kane, they had seven children.

Miner Chambers' second wife was Amanda F. Cotton, whom he married on Dec 30, 1846 in Switzerland County. The marriage license was granted in the Circuit Court on Dec 28, 1846 by the Court Clerk, Edward Patton. Samuel R. Walker, a justice of the peace, married them two days later, and recorded the marriage on Feb 14, 1847 in the Circuit Court. According to their granddaughter Evaline Kane, they had four or five children.

Early land records of Switzerland County, Indiana show a transaction between Minor Chambers and John Prickett in 1816.

There was no U.S. census in Indiana before 1820. In the 1820 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 14, page 174), the Miner Chambers family consisted of one male under 10, one male 26 and under 45 (Miner 23), one female under 10 (Elizabeth baby), and one female 26 and under 45 (Mariah 19). The family is listed only two families before the David Lee family (Mariah's family). Both families were engaged in agriculture.

In the 1830 census for Indiana, Switzerland County (Roll 32), the Miner Chambers family consisted of one male under 5 (Thomas Whiten 3), one male 15 and under 20, one male 30 and under 40 (Miner 33), two females 10 and under 15 (Elizabeth, and Sarah 10), one female 20 and under 30 (Mariah 29) and one female 30 and under 40.

In the 1840 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 95, page 181), the family consisted of one male 5 and under 10 (David Lee 9), one male 10 and under 15 (Thomas Whiten, 13), one male 40 and under 50 (Miner 43), two females 5 and under 10 (Eliza 3 and Pallas baby), one female 15 and under 20 (Elizabeth), and one female 30 and under 40 (Mariah 39).

In the 1850 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 174, p 378), the family consisted of Minor Chambers 53, Amand 41, David 19, Eliza 13, Palac 11, Joseph 2, Lucinda Cotton 18, and Alphonzo Cotton 15. Minor Chambers' place of birth was listed as Penn, Amand's as N.Y., and all the children born in "Ia" (Indiana) except for Alphonzo, who was born in Ky. Minor was listed as a farmer, with the value of his real estate as 800.

According to Minor's granddaughter Evaline Kane, "Mother was the second child of Minor Chambers. He was married the second time. He had 7 by his first wife and 4 or 5 by the second. And Mother thought her Dady was perfect and followed him from Indianna to Kerokirk Iowa where he died a short time after getting here. Died with Gravel (gall stones). Was sick only three days. It seemed like he was afraid Mother would not get her share so he had bought her a Tract of land in Clinton County in Iowa 20 miles from Davenport (Scott County)."

Minor Chambers purchased or sold land in Keokuk County Iowa as follows:

Oct 8, 1851, bought from John Ellis, SE ¼ of the SW ¼of Section 34 in Township 74 North of Range 11 West containing 40 acres for $55.00.

On Apr 18, 1853, William Webb, Daniel A. Sisson, and Samuel Bowman were appointed appraisers of the estate of Minor Chambers, deceased. The executor of the estate was Horatio Yapp.

8044 Minnie C. Drummy, age 100, died on Sunday, October 16, 2011 at the Agnesian Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac, WI.

She was born at Merry Dale Farm, Cambria, Wisconsin (Columbia County) on June 24, 1911, to Fred and Mary M. (Nietman) Reifsnider.

Minnie was a rural schoolteacher for five years before her marriage to James Drummy, who had returned from Marquette University to manage the Drummy farm in Waupun. They were married on June 10, 1936 in St. Mary Catholic Church, Pardeeville. They purchased the Drummy homestead east of Waupun, which had been bought as adjoining land by both of their great-grandfathers in 1849. They were parents of five sons and six daughters.

She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church for 70 plus years, its Altar Society, the Waupun Historical Society, and was instrumental in obtaining and establishing the Waupun Heritage Museum. She belonged to the Dodge County Retired Teachers' Association, and was an active member in the Waupun Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution for 63 years. She served as a regent and was a delegate several times to the National DAR Congress held annually in the DAR Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C. She was also active at one time in organizations which no longer exist: The Waupun Women's Club, The Philharmonic Club, Descendants of Civil War Veterans, the Dodge County Federation of Republican Women, the original Wisconsin Rural Writers Organization, and she established the first '4-H' Club in 1932 in Chester. She was an avid genealogist and history buff and was very interested in American history and learned that her ancestors came to this country as early as the 1620's. She was proud of her seven nationalities and that four of her ancestors (Obadiah Smith, Wm. Reifsnider, Aaron Hand and John Philips) served in the American Revolutionary War. An uncle signed the Declaration of Independence and two of her grandsons are the eighth generation of the family to wear the uniform of this country: Lt. Col. Daniel Patrick Clark U.S.A.F and 1st Lt. Jay John Heide, a graduate of Marquette University R.O.T.C., U.S.A.F. Just recently, her great-grandson, Plede Daniel Patrick Clark II, started at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY, making the 9th military generation in the family. She persisted in obtaining a memorial plaque honoring Waupun's first cemetery where 140 pioneers and veterans are buried in what is now called Wilcox Park.

She traveled extensively throughout the United States including Barrow, Alaska to Mexico and trips to the British Isles, Europe and Athens, Greece. Many of her travels are depicted in her oil paintings. Her oil paintings are in 21 states including the DAR National Museum and Smithsonian National Museum in Washington, D.C. and in Europe.

She was preceded in death by her husband James in 1977; two infant sons, Kent and Norman; a daughter, Maureen in 1997; her parents; and a sister, Georgia Smith.

She is survived by 3 sons: James (Janis) Drummy, Milwaukee; Very Reverend John Drummy, Amery; Neil (Nancy) Drummy, Waupun; 5 daughters: Gail (Robert) Clark, Northville, MI; Jacquelyn (Lowell Vingum) Drummy, Madison; Mary (T. Lee) Howard, Middleton; Jeannine (Jeffrey) Heide, Kenosha and Lauri (Patrick Tanner) Piper, Omro; 12 grandchildren: Lt. Col. Daniel (Cynthia) Clark; Robert (Marie) Clark, Chicago; Jennifer Watts; Brian (Marci) Drummy; Craig (Diane) Drummy; Sarah Drummy; David Drummy; Alysia Howard; Ryan Howard; 2nd Lt. Jay Heide; Jack Heide; Mitchell (Colleen) Posthuma; Kerry Lynn (Ray) Mess; Regina (Michael) Karwoski, 12 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

She led a long, enjoyable life with her large family and she will be dearly missed.

Funeral services for Minnie C. Drummy will be held on Monday, October 24, 2011 at 12 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Waupun, WI with The Very Rev. John Drummy, Rev. John Schmitz, Rev. Aaron Devett, and The Very Rev. Michael Wild officiating. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Waupun. Friends and relatives may call on the family on Monday at the church from 10:30 a.m. until the time of service.

8048 Minta was a nurse who owned and operated Korthaus Convalescent Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for many years. The first on was at 1718 N. broadway later moving to NW 23rd ST. I remember going there frequently as a child; sitting there watching everything. I would tell my mother that I was going to be a nurse when I grew up, which I did. She was a kind and loving sole who was always taking care of others. I was told she had been married 11 times. When I was young I thought that is why everyone called her grandma Courthouse (Korthaus). STOKES, Minta Belle (I2266)
