Who is Cornelia Palon? ORTHERA? AMELIA? AEILIA? CORNELIA?
In 1850 NY census Cornelia Palon (Ames) {my great grandmother}
(Daughter-in-law of Adolphus Ames,Wife of Ira Daniel Ames,
Mother of Nancy Theo Ames, my grandmother)
is enumerated in August 1850 Oswego, NY as
Cornelia or Amelia Palon and the
Green County Wisconsin census Orthera Palon is
enumerated in October 1850. I know that the Orthera Palon
in 1850 Wisconsin is my Cornelia Palon because of
a newspaper article by Ruth Scoville her sister.

In my research I found a James Palon written in the corner of the
Bible page of my grandmother Nancy Theo Ames which said
James Palon died on 24 August 1887. ***Entry did not say where James Palon died.

Am not sure if this is the James Palon in my grandmother’s Bible.
I also received a document )NN Palon) in the mail which
is not sourced so will
have to review this. (Exhibit 4)

Sure looks like Altheah FRENCH Scoville may have been
Cornelia Palon’s mother.
Then who would Susan Palon be? Would Althea be divorced
from James Palon?
Who was Mary Scoville in 1850 Wisconsin living with George Scoville?
Was Mary Scoville Althea’s sister? Don’t think so because the census
says Mary Scoville was born Kentucky. I have not found the marriage
records for George Scoville. This would be wonderful as It might clear
some of this up or only add confusion.

Aeilia Palon and the mother is Althea FRENCH married to a
NN(no name) PALON. On Cornelia's death certificate it faintly
says "Mother's maiden name FRENCH". I am in the process of
contacting the party who sent me the exhibit 4 above to
obtain his source.

******NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS AND ASSISTANCE WITH FUTURE RESEARCH ON CORNELIA.
FUTHER RESEARCH:
1. George Scoville marriages (Possibly married three times)
2. Birth or Church records for Althea FRENCH
3. Marriage records for Cornelia Palon Ames
4. More information on James Palon and his children and wife.
Possibly may find on a query or in Newberry Library in Chicago.

Love Letters, Lies, Truth, Half Truths ?
Nancy Ames, twenty-one, was dressed beautifully on her wedding day. A broche with Lou’s picture graced her left shoulder. Full eyebrows, hazel eyes, and dark, brown curly hair piled on top of her head spilling over her forehead framed her oval face. Lou described her as “prepossessing brunette, who dresses well”. Lou Hansen, twenty-five, wore a black silk suit, a top hat, and a diamond stickpin in his lapel. His salary was $ 90.00 a month and he owned a 1903 Oldsmobile, a well-to-do gentleman by any standards.
“I do,” said Lou, as he slipped the one-carat ruby ring, engraved with “Nancy 1906” on Nancy’s finger. Nancy placed a matching eighteen-carat gold ring inscribed “Ludwig 1906” on Lou’s finger.
They moved into a Queen Ann-style house, lavishly decorated in romantic and feminine décor with a green Persian rug in the center of the drawing room. Palm trees adorned the rooms. The wood, marble and brass were highly polished.
Blanche was born in 1908. The marriage deteriorated. They divorced in 1913. After the divorce, Lou publicly humiliated Nancy, accusing her of having an affair with a man named J.P. Glass during their marriage, publishing his accusations in the newspaper, with contents of letters Glass had sent to her. The publicity angered and embarrassed Nancy. Lou had accomplished his purpose. [1]
In 1915, Nancy married Charlie Worthing. They moved to Truro, Iowa, and lived a quiet life with Blanche and their daughter Grace.
Did my grandmother, Nancy and J.P. Glass have an affair? Was J.P. infatuated with her? Was Nancy flattered by his attention? Did she marry Charlie for love or to escape the scandal? Did Charlie marry her to protect her? I would like to believe Nancy and Charlie married for love and found happiness in Truro.
[1] According to the newspaper, Lou was having affairs with “lewd women of ill repute” in Chicago. The divorce papers reported Lou treated Nancy with extreme and repeated cruelty; beatings; threatening her with a gun; and using vile and abusive language and failing to provide proper and necessary clothing for Blanche and Nancy, Aurora Beacon News.
