Felin llwyn bedw, parish of Llananno (SO 103 738): on as mall brook tributary to the R. Eithon. \par \par I quote Tucker: 'The name is marked on the Ist ed. 1" OS map, but is not shown on the Tithe Maps for Llanbister or Llananno, nor on the 6 "OS map of 1904. There are no signs on the ground, but the position indicated would seem to be the only possible site in the vicinity. [He was right'] This is a very doubtful mill site, however. \par \par The OS 2" sketch map of 1816, held at the National Library of Wales, shows the mill on the cast side of the brook south of the road. The ground in the immediate area is very disturbed and broken, and it is impossible to make any sense of that which one sees today. The brook still forms the boundary between the parishes of Llanbister and Llananno as it did at the time of the 1st edition OS 25" plan published in 1889. \par \par This plan shows an interesting diversion of the boundary from the brook]. It suddenly diverges from the stream and follows a pecked line marked 'Tk.S.', which in 'OS speak' means 'Track of Stream'. It then swings sharply to the south west at a point marked 'F.W', which means 'Face of Wall'. I think that the 'Face of Wall' was the end wall of a roofless building (marked A on Fig.3)) which shows quite clearly and scales to about 20ft. by 15ft. on plan. The 'Track of Stream' may well have been a short leat lead\'a8ing from the brook to an undershot wheel on the end of the bulldlng. There is also a further roofless building (B), which scales to about 20ft. by 1Oft. on plan. \par \par Building A is, I think, probably the ruined mill. By 1904 the 2nd edition of the 25" plan does not show these particular features, although the boundary follows the same course across the ground. The site is on the Llananno side of the boundary, not in Llanbister. \par \par There certainly was a Felin LIwyn beclw, and the Llananno Census returns give its occupants: \par \par 1841 'Llwyn beddw Mill', John Ingram (50), miller, with his wife Sarah and three children; \par 1851 'Llwynbedow Mill', Joseph Thomas (22), miller, with William Thickens (61), 'Miller (Servant)'. \par \par There is no record of the mill after 1851 in the Census returns, and one must assume that it went out of business between 1851 and 1861. It was most probably a corn mill of eighteenth century construction, and it is possible that it was built on the site of earlier medieval or post medieval mills since it would appear to have had an undershot wheel. \par \par That the mill at least of eighteenth century date is made more certain by its association with the farm Maesllan which lies in Llananno parish about a kilometre to the north west. The Tithe Map for Llanano shows that field \par no. 1954 corresponds more or less to field no. 1063 on the OS 1st ed.25" plan. The Tithe Apportionment of 1841 records that this field, which straddles the boundary between Llananno and Llanbister, was called'Mil\'a8lfold' and that it belonged to the Maesllan farm. The Tithe Map shows a small building in the same position as Building A, with the parish boun\'a8dary taking a sharp turn around it in the same way. \par \par MaesIlan Farm and Corn Mill were advertised with about 150 acres of meadow and pasture land to be let and entered upon at the next Lady Day in the Hereford Journal for 28th August, 1808, and again similarly described for letting five years later in the issue for 13th January, 1813. Mr G.Hughes, who has farmed locally all his life, told me that he had been told that if one dug into a bank by the western edge of the Millfold field, the ashes from a drying kiln could still be found. \par \par Edmund Mortimer had a water mill at 'Thlananno' in 1304. Later, in the account of the Mortimer estates for 1356/7, it was recorded that the mill house at 'Lanhannow' was newly made using the lord's timber, and roofed with task work for 18s, and one grindstone was bought for. 16s. 8d. The 'farm' (lease) of Llananno Mill was let to David Lloid andDavid ap Cadwgan and was worth \'a34 in 1392/3. 11 While I am not saying that this was indeed the site of the medieval mill in Llananno, it is by the main river for the area. Furthermore the A483 road which passes by it is an old north south 'through road; so the connection is notimpossible. \par \par Records from Llananno Parish Register, transcribed by Lloyd Lewis. \par \par Baptisms \par Abode Occupation </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman";">Eight-nine years old, alive and well, the Ole Philco has been passed down for three generations in our family, from Grandma and Grandpa to Dad, and to me. It is destined for my son and grandchildren. This 1929 Philco radio originated in Philadelphia, lived in Illinois for 30 years, and since resided in Fullerton, Brea, and Hemet, California, and currently Buena Park, California. My first memory of the Ole Philco was Grandma and Grandpa walking out to the sun porch every evening at 6 pm taking their seats in large wooden rockers with black leather cushions, sitting back and listening to the news. According to dad, this was their nightly ritual. After my grandparents sold their house in 1958, Dad acquired the Ole Philco.</span><br />

My Valentine<br />
Tribute To Mom<br />
<br />
This page is dedicated to all who preceded us and to those who will follow and to mom, Grace Lorraine Worthing, who gave a mother's love and encouragement as no one else could.<br />
The more I learned about my mother, Gracie and her world, the more I admire her. I grew up not knowing much about my mother's childhood as much as I should have. Now after her death, I have put together stories she told us as we were growing up and this has helped me to understand and appreciate her more. I came to have a high regard for her fortitude, strengths in adversity, self awareness and genuine respect and love for other people. I marvel at her will to survive and thrive in the face of extreme circumstances. This seems to be built into her genes. She follows a long line of strong women.<br />
Her grandmother Sarah Ingram Worthing, a Welsh immigrant, traveled by covered wagon to California and back to Ohio along with her husband, Richard with two children during the Gold Rush of 1849. Grandmother Julia set up three homesteads: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin while raising four children.<br />
Nancy Ames, her mother grew up on a homestead in freezing winters of Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin, later living in Milton Junction, Wisconsin near Janesville. Nancy was one of 10 children who was orphaned in the winter 1893 at the age of 10 years old. No one should have to have endured this at age 10 ... starving, freezing cold, living on a lake in a one room cabin with no heat and very little clothing and very little food Dad, Ira Daniel Ames fished for a living and really tried to keep his family warm and fed but they just couldn't seem to make it. They must have been so poor. The winter of 1893 was particularly cold. On the morning of March 5, 1893 a blizzard hit them hard. Nancy’s mother, Cornelia Palon Ames and her 2 month old infant actually froze to death and died from probable starvation heart broken over the death of his wife and child. He never really revovered. In 2 years Ira, too was dead. He died mainly of a broken heart on September 21, 1895. Nancy ended up in an orphanage in Sparta, Wisconsin. After Nancy got older, she met and married Ludwig Hansen. This marriage produced a child, Blanche. This was an unhappy marriage ending in divorce. After the divorce, Nancy met and married a young man, Charles Worthing, from Iowa and they eventually settled in Truro, Iowa where Gracie was born.<br />
Gracie entered the world at a mere 1.5 pounds. Grace was a fighter and was placed in a shoe box for a bed wrapped in cotton so the oral history goes. Her mother cuddled her, nursed her and held her lovingly praying the whole time to God to save her baby girl. God answered her prayers and Gracie started thriving and gaining weight. She made it! Gracie grew up very small and petite a happy life in Truro, Madison County, Iowa during the depression with her sister Blanche. Life was a struggle for food and shelter.<br />
In the years 1928-1932 Gracie experienced two great losses, the loss at age 12 of her beloved mother from a brain tumor and at 16 the loss of her dad from pancreatic cancer. Both crisis occurred to a young woman at the same time her half sister Blanche whom she'd grown up with was sent to Illinois to live with a relative. I presume this makes one a stronger person. I cannot imagine losing a mother at age 12 nor then losing your father and then your sister. How tragic.<br />
Mom, Grace remembers growing up in Truro during the depression era. America battled the Great Depression and the whole world seemed to be changing. The economy struggled: the average weekly wage for a family being only $2.39. Wall Street floundered as banks closed across the country. People lost their homes, their farms and bankruptcy was prevalent. For families, every cent counted, and none could be spared on frivolous luxury of any kind. Grace would have been 12 years old in 1929 and 15 at the heart of the depression in 1932. Grace's mom had died in 1928 and Blanche was now living in Illinois with Ludwig. Gracie was living with her dad, Charles Worthing who was ill during the Christmas season in 1932. Times were tough. They lived in town and Charley worked at the school as a custodian. Most of their other relatives lived on farms so in this way they were real fortunate as Gracie remembered trading eggs for pork chops and meat and milk. They never remembered going hungry. Iwoa winters were cold.<br />
Grace survived and then went on to live with her half brother in Birds Run, Ohio until she was 18 when she joined her sister in Illinois.<br />
In spite of all, mom survived to marry Robert, the love of her life, raise two girls, provide college educations for them, serve her community by volunteering at the American Legion, the PTA, and voter’s registration and giving of her time to care for sick and dying family members as needed.<br />
I remember my mom and how loving she was and thoughtful. She loved her mother in law and father in law and always said they were like parents to her and you could “never find better people”. Aunt Lola, my dad’s sister was like a sister to my mom. She loved her dearly. Mom sat with grandpa when he was dying and stayed with Aunt Lola after Lola lost her husband Theron. Mom comforted and stayed with her cousin, Zola in Long Beach for a month when Zola lost her husband. She was there for her daughters when, Nancy’s husband died, for Kevin her grandchild in the loss of his dad and for Mary and her two boys when things did not work out. Mom always had an open door. Mom was one of the most CARING Individuals one would ever meet.<br />
We were truly blessed to know this special woman and privileged to have<br />
her as a loving mother, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother.<br />

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">My grandmother, Nancy Ames Hansen
Worthing, was nothing more to me than a name on a family tree before I took on
the task of writing about her. I was
always curious about the grandmother for whom I was named. That curiosity led
me to find out more about her. I know a
little about her from Mom’s faded recollections, census records, newspaper
articles, divorce papers, pictures, and a death certificate. Nancy died from a
brain tumor when Mom was twelve years old. My mom, Grace’s memories faded
throughout the years. Mom remembered her walking her to school and as the mother
who held her close, hugged her a lot, and read stories to her in bed on rainy
days. To honor and remember her, Mom and her cousin Margaret named their
daughters Nancy. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
A Sprinkle of This and a Dash of That…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
Meals make memories. An important part of family life is food, so why not family history? Some of my fondest memories from childhood are the times I spent in my Grandma’s kitchen. Food and food traditions is an important ingredient in every family’s history. To me food is a connection. It is what connects us to people and places and where we came from. Memories are built around food.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I learned to cook from my Grandma. She cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, which I took for granted. Memories of making strawberry pie, jello and kekse are some of my happiest. Her yellow kitchen was small and compact with a large window above the stove which filled the space with natural light and vibrant colors which gave it a feeling of a happy place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
When we cooked with Grandma we donned hairnets and aprons with big pockets to match hers. There was a special drawer in the kitchen for them and my Grandma had made two pint sized aprons for my sister, Mary and I to wear. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Grandma made German beef roulade, kraut soup and beer brats to name a few ethnic recipes she got from her mother. Flour to knead, a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of baking soda, and sugar all characterize my Grandma’s recipes. Grandma’s generation (1887-1969) cooked largely from experience, not precise recipes. They needed no reminders to chop the onion, use a certain size pan, or pre-heat the oven. When sharing recipes with friends, they jotted down only the essentials.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
I remember hearing a story about Mom sharing a 4<sup>th</sup> of July Dessert Salad recipe with a friend. Mom gave Helen the list of Grandma’s standard ingredients for her “24 Hour Dessert Salad”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">1 cup fruit cocktail<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">1 c sour cream<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">2 c rice (about)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
Mom heard no more about it. Weeks later Mom asked Helen how her salad turned out. Helen hesitated and then blurted out, “Yeah, I used it but you didn’t tell me I had to cook the rice and chill the salad over night.” As I said, they shared recipes by just jotting down the essentials. I too have fond memories centered around the kitchen and my family. Our family still laughs in jest over my first cake. I’ll never forget my first cake. The recipe said to mix by hand…and that’s exactly what I did. Mom walked into the kitchen to see me with both hands right in the cake mix batter, mixing away. Of course I cried at my "big" blunder. Now I can look back and laugh laugh at my memory of making my first cake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
I love Grandma’s cookbook. It has a special place in my cupboard. I use it a lot. In it are some of her best recipes, mock chicken legs, fried potatoes, homemade bread, and Christmas Kekse (cookies), German shortbreads and hazelnut macaroons. Her personal notes align the margins. “Too much salt”, use only ½ teaspoon” underlined or “add more sugar”. Grandma’s strawberry shortcake and pie were renowned. My sister and I watched Grandma make strawberry shortcake. She poured flour into a mixing bowl, added sugar, and a pinch of salt, some baking soda, warm milk and melted butter. Then, she stirred it with a fork. When finished, she gave it the finger test, running her index finger around the edge of the bowl and licking the mixture. If it was not quite ready she added more flour or more melted butter or a pinch of salt. She never used a recipe, just mixed up the ingredients. She then picked up the shortcake dough and rolled it around in the palms of her hands making small balls. When ready, to her liking she placed them on the baking sheet. She gently punched the center of each one with her thumb making a slight indentation ready to pop in the oven after dinner. I can make shortcake without a recipe and mine turn out melt in your mouth delicious, just like Grandma’s.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Fried chicken was a specialty in Grandma’s kitchen. She poured flour into a paper bag with salt and pepper and dried herbs from her garden. She dropped in the legs, thighs, breasts, and wings. Closing the bag, she shook it vigorously. It was fun for Mary and me to take turns shaking the bag. Picking the chicken, out of the bag with her hands she placed the evenly coated chicken in the frying pans filled with Crisco. Grandma sprinkled paprika on the chicken and then browned the chicken on both sides. After browning she placed them in the roaster and put the chicken in the oven to finish cooking. We’ve never been able to duplicate the exact flavor of Grandma’s coating for her chicken. It’s not written down anywhere in her cookbook or recipe cards. I guess she kept it a secret just like Colonel Sanders. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Custard was another specialty. Grandma scalded milk on top the stove, while beating up eggs, sugar, a pinch of salt, and some vanilla in another bowl. She added the scalded milk to the mixture and stirred it with a spoon to melt the sugar. She gave it the finger test and if it needed more eggs she added them or added more sugar if not sweet enough. Then, she poured the custard into a large baking pan. She inserted the baking pan into another larger baking pan filled with hot water and popped them into the oven for an hour. When finished she sprinkled grated nutmeg over the top.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I have a Cranberry Fluff Mold recipe of Grandma’s where she wrote along the margin. In the recipe she wrote and underlined, “add 1 pt of cream whipped and folded in.” Underlined “don’t beat anymore fold in”. When the mold was finished and ready to turn out on the platter she wrote “to remove set on platter over mold and turn upside down and decorate with leaves, lemon or Galex 35 <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">¢</span> at the florist shop and put canned peaches and pears over leaves and put some red coloring on the peaches and pears”. Along the margin of this recipe she wrote, “Dab just a spot of coloring on peaches and pears with your fingertip o”. I assumed the “o” meant the size of the spot. I am not sure what Galex is.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
When Grandma finished baking or serving her dishes, her large brown eyes sparkled as she looked at her creations. She always said, “<span class="hps"><span lang="DE">Das ist gut</span></span><span class="shorttext"><span lang="DE">. </span></span><span class="hps"><span lang="DE">Ja.</span></span><span class="shorttext"><span lang="DE"> </span></span><span class="hps"><span lang="DE">Das ist gut“. </span></span>These are just a few of Grandma’s recipes I was fortunate to preserve for my family history. No fast food for Grandma. Everything was made from scratch. </div>

One of mine is this photo of my Mother, Grace Lorraine Worthing Fermazin. February 9, 1917-April 2001. <br />
Grace Lorraine Worthing on her wedding day. February 7, 1942. I have always liked this photo of my mother. I selected this photo because my mother is so beautiful in this picture. She married Robert F. Fermazin at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Aurora, Illinois.<br />

My mom was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I miss her so much!</div>

<span style="color: #101317; font-family: "playfair display" , serif; font-size: 16px;">I have decided to accept Amy Johnson Crow's "52 Ancestors In 52 Weeks" challenge. The first prompt in the challenge is "start", so I am choosing to start with a break through in one of my Brick Walls: Sarah Julia Rice wife of Adolphus Ames. Sarah Ames is my second great grandmother.</span><br />
<br />
I had a great genealogy break through this past week. I found the death certificate for one of Adolphus AMES' sons: William Henry Ames<br />
<br />
In the Ancestry hints I received a hint and verified the hint. Henry Ames who was born in 1847 in Pennsylvania ended up in Michigan on the family's migration to Wisconsin. In Michigan he went by William H Ames. On his Michigan death certificate he listed his parents as Dolphus Ames and Julis Rice!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I had my DNA tested on Ancestry DNA. I matched with Joel Rice who I had been following in McKean County Pennsylvania. I suspected Joel Rice was the brother to my Adolphus' wife but I could not prove it. Well now I am pretty confident that Joel Rice is Julia Ames' brother.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At least now I know that Julia's maiden name was RICE. Have lots more proofing to do but I am on the trail. My mother's first cousin Roger Family Tree DNA matched with Ames in Michigan. I feel the Ames he matched in Michigan with are an uncle's family of Adolphus Ames, a Samuel Ames who is his brother. </div>

<div>
I also found that my William H Ames served in the Civil War.</div>

for the owner. Offa’s Dyke is a 50 foot wide dirt well ditch, running along the
English Welsh border, built in the 18th century by the Anglo Saxon King Offa of
Mercia to keep out the Welsh. A path runs along side it nowadays making it a

firstappearance of Rebecca, as the members called themselves, occurred in 1839.
Although this precedes the economic events of 1842, the early appearances of
Rebecca were sporadic isolated outbursts, with the true body of rioting not
beginning until the winter of 1842. Although these early 'uprisings' were few
and uncommon, they were the first appearance of mobs dressed in the guise of
Rebecca. These gangs became known as Merched Beca (</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_language"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Welsh</span></a> for<span style="color: #1c1c1c;"> "Rebecca's </span>Daughters") or merely the
Rebeccas. The origin of their name is said to be a verse in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Bible</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Genesis"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Genesis</span></a> 24:60 - 'And they
blessed Rebekah and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou<span style="color: #1c1c1c;"> the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which hate them'. This verse was shouted many a time
from the religious urban dwellers. Richard and Thomas were not part of the
Rebeccas.Prior to destroying the toll gates, 'Rebecca' would call to his
followers who were also dressed as women and perform a scene which involved the
following words:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn9" name="_ednref9" style="mso-endnote-id: edn9;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Richard,
Thomas, and Sarah Ingram all worked at the manor. Sarah was a day servant or
maid and the daughter of John Ingram the
miller. John was a miller by trade in
Wales. We don’t know if John was the owner or lessee of the mill. Many farmers had mill rights on their
property. It is likely that he was the lessee because the Welsh records show he
and his family lived at the corn mill<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn17" name="_ednref17" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[17]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

Little
is known about the Jones’, Blacks’ and Thomas’. However,
his son James Ingram was born, according to my records, in 1828 in Radnorshire
and because of trouble "drinking wine with the maids" came to the US.
He paid someone $600 to serve for him in the Civil War. He had four wives: Mary
Miller (Wales 1851) Rose Ann Brown(1854 Ohio), whom he married three months after
Mary's death, Eleanor Stewart (Miskimens, 1861, Ohio), and Sarah Clark (1861,
Coschocton).<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn19" name="_ednref19" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[19]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></div>

I envisioned
Richard as a young man falling in love with Sarah while they worked at the
manor. I picture Sarah as a girl looking like my Ingram cousins, with deep sky
blue eyes, red hair, petite carrying baskets of vegetables and wild flowers
through the blue bell fields, picked along the path home to the mill. There
probably were not many eliglble, single
women in this area for Richard to chose from. We have no information on how
Richard and Sarah met but probably while working at the manor. Richard, age 22
and Sarah, age 17 married in 1843. They started their family immediately with
the birth of Sarah Ann, February 27, 1844, their first of 15 children of which
9 reached adulthood.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn20" name="_ednref20" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[20]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></div>

I pictured Richard

“Will you marry me? I love you so much. I promise to give you a
better life in America. I’ll take you to America, buy land, and raise our

I remember as a ten year old girl visiting my Worthing ancestors in Iowa. My mom
took us to the Worthing Cemetery in Truro, Madison, Iowa to see the Baptist
church she attended as a child and put flowers on the graves of her mom and dad
and grandparents. It was a small stone church located in the Worthing Cemetery.
In 2001, I went back to that same cemetery to lay flowers on the graves of my
grandparents and great grandparents but the little church was no longer there,
having been torn down to make room for more family plots.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn23" name="_ednref23" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="color: #424242; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[23]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">ike
many other early cemeteries in Wood County, Lee Cemetery began as a family
burial place. David Lee was born in March of 1828 in North Carolina. He and two
brothers were farmers near Webster, in Wood County, prior to 1860. David Lee
married his wife Susan about 1861 and they had six children. The cemetery originally
covered about one acre but has grown considerably over the years with several
additions of land.</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The
most prosperous rural families in this county in the 1840s through the 1860s
had family cemeteries located on their property, usually near their home. There
were several reasons why early settlers buried their dead in family plots.
Often we hear of the isolation caused by the difficulties of travel caused by
primitive roads and a lack of bridges over streams.</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">However, the
primary reason was simply that when the first settlers arrived, there were no
organized communities and cemeteries in existence. Only after communities and
churches, along with cemeteries were established that the efficacy of burying
people in a central location was realized by local residents.</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">This pattern was
not unique to Guernsey County – it was common over the whole of the nation.
Most cemeteries in the United States are the final outgrowth of individual
burial places on the farms or near the homes of the earliest settlers.</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Later, the
burial places were connected with churches, a custom that is not entirely
obsolete, especially in Wood County, where some church graveyards survive.</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Although the number
of Welsh people who emigrated to America and Australia in the nineteenth
century was far lower than from less industrialised countries, such as Ireland,
a significant number did leave Wales in the hope of a better life. It is
estimated that about 60,000 people emigrated from Wales to the USA during the
period 1850-70.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">A number of factors
have been suggested for emigration from Wales during the middle years of the
nineteenth century. Many of the Welsh tenant farmers and farm laborers were
living in poverty. Also, the unstable market in coal and steel meant that employment
for many steelworkers and miners was unreliable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">When radical
figures, such as Samuel Roberts ('SR'; 1800-85) and Michael D. Jones (1822-98)
spoke in favor of emigration, many were ready to listen. It was often seen as
an opportunity to own land at a time when most land in Wales was owned by the
gentry, while others headed for the mines and quarries of the industrial areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Many of these
emigrants to America made their way to the existing Welsh communities, such as
Cambria in Pennsylvania, Gallia in Ohio and Oneida in New York State. So many
Welsh people migrated to Wisconsin that the state's constitution was translated
into Welsh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">The
most famous instance of Welsh migration was the attempt made by Michael D.
Jones and others to establish a Welsh colony in Patagonia, Argentina. The first
migrants landed in Porth Madryn in 1865 and a small Welsh-speaking population
remains in the area to this day.</span><span style="color: #424242; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I’ve visualized in my mind how this
tragedy occurred. I picture ten-year old Nancy, hovering over her mother, Cornelia,
sobbing uncontrollably.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her hazel eyes
were almost swollen shut as she cried out, “Ma Ma… Ma….”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a flask in his left hand, her father, Ira
pushed open the door of the homestead and stomped in, his unshaven beard growth
of a week beaded with little drops of melting frost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He dropped his gloves to the floor as he
rushed over to Nelia’s (Cornelia) side, leaving tracks of white slush on the
floor of the one-room shack they called home. Most of the year, he eked out a
living fishing on Lake Koshkonong, but in winter he hunted for game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sobbing children looked fearfully at
their father, saying in unison, “Paw, do something.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nelia Ames lay stiff and cold, breathing
noisily, with barely a rise and fall in her small chest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagined she had been lying on the bed in
the corner of the room, listless and sick with fever and cough for the last two
weeks after the delivery of her baby girl. My Great Grandmother, Cornelia Ames
was probably hungry, cold, and suffering from post-partum depression.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[i]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It was winter in Wisconsin. All of
the garden vegetables were gone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
pictured the one room cabin the following way. The last of the wild turkeys had
been eaten one month earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only a
lonely crust of bread remained on the table with a few scattered crumbs on the
floor. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Caroline, born six weeks before,
on January 21<sup>st</sup>, died two days earlier probably from prematurity,
lack of nourishment, and proper care. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In
those days, when a child died, there were no boards to make a coffin. Relatives
dug a pit and laid logs across the top. With a crosscut saw, one man in the pit
and one on top, they ripped planks out of the logs for the coffin.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of the family life, abject poverty,

blubbering and gather up the little ones or I’m going to send you for the
doctor. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve got to get some help for
your ma. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be back in a few hours or so,”

worked as a farmer in 1870 in Albion. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn8" name="_ednref8" style="mso-endnote-id: edn8;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[viii]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
By 1880, he was listed in the census as a day laborer living in Milton,
Wisconsin. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn9" name="_ednref9" style="mso-endnote-id: edn9;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[ix]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
In 1890, the Ames’ were living eight miles north at Gebo Point, on Lake
Koshkonong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During this time, I
imagine the demons came back to haunt him and he began to take up the
bottle. The family suffered greatly from their father’s drinking habits.
It was a hardscrabble existence. Things were not always been like this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagined
Ira had dreams, dreams of settling down, buying a farm, raising a family….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was in the beginning.<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the children came, their situation became
more difficult. The first-born was Charles Henry in October 1870 and the last
of the twelve children was Caroline who died with Cornelia in 1893. By 1890,
the two oldest were no longer at home. Frankie, Chauncey, and Rosey Belle had
passed.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn10" name="_ednref10" style="mso-endnote-id: edn10;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[x]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

this severe winter of 1893. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without
proper care, the twelve by eighteen feet, one-room house, became a shack of
wide, rotting, gray boards running up and down with cracks in the walls
allowing the brisk, cold air in and the heat to seep through the openings. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn11" name="_ednref11" style="mso-endnote-id: edn11;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[xi]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pictured their meager furnishings consisting
of a table sitting in the corner covered with a red cloth, two beds, the family
Bible open to Psalms on the lone dresser, and a shiny black, polished cook
stove in the center of the room. The family lived in a lonely place about 80
rods (half an acre or half a football field) away from the nearest
neighbor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ira began to drink more and
more and worked less frequently, and cared less and less about the family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He attempted to work as a fisherman, but was
not doing well during this winter. They were isolated. There were no close
neighbors. Possibly, they were so poor and working so hard to survive that they
did not have time to socialize or Cornelia was so ashamed of their poor
existence she did not associate with the neighbors. I visualized them living a
hardscrabble life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In March of 1893 life became so
difficult for this family that the mother, Cornelia, froze to death but likely
compounded by pneumonia, starvation, and frostbite. The doctor came and
pronounced her dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He found six
children, starving and freezing in the “shack”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He called the authorities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they
hadn’t intervened these children would have been dead with their mother.
They found the children scantily clothed, one little girl having on
only a calico dress with no underclothing, and a little boy having on only knee
breeches all torn to strings. The neighbors came and took them into their
homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two oldest boys, ages twelve
and fourteen, were sent out to make it on their own and the four youngest were
sent to the orphanage in Sparta, Wisconsin.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn12" name="_ednref12" style="mso-endnote-id: edn12;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[xii]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Two years later, in March 1895, Ira
died.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2533362071926689248#_edn13" name="_ednref13" style="mso-endnote-id: edn13;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[xiii]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
I conjured the following picture of him: a man in despair and depression from a
broken heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life had taken its toll.
Nelia was dead, the children were gone, and fishing was poor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The demons had returned and he had begun to
take up the bottle again. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His spirit was
broken, battered and bruised. All he had were memories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My heart aches for my great-grandparents, Ira
Daniel Ames and Cornelia Palon. For most people, life gets better as time goes
on but for them it seems to have gotten worse. The depression came along with
the sadness and deaths. They were unable to get out of the poverty existence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">March 1 — Lisa Asks: Do you have a favorite female ancestor? One you are drawn to or want to learn more about? Write down some key facts you have already learned or what you would like to learn and outline your goals and potential sources you plan to check.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">This year I would like to learn more about my Great Great Grandmother, Sarah (Salllie) Rice Ames. S</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">allie was born in Greene County, New York to Ephraim Ames and Sarah Johnson in 1811. I have no pictures of Sallie. I would like to find information on her growing up and information on what it was like to live in the wilderness of Western Pennsylvania in Liberty Township, McKean County. I do know that her husband was part Native American, Lenape.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">Sallie had two brothers that I know about. Ira Rice and Joel H. (Jack) Rice. Joel was a Methodist Circuit Rider. I am hoping to find some of Joel's diaries. I have a feeling that</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">Joel married Sallie and her spouse, Adolphus Ames. I am hoping to find that information.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">This is a picture of a woman in 1840.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">I do not know if their children were Baptized so will look for that in my research.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></span><strong>Baptism</strong><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Through baptism we are joined with the church and with Christians everywhere.</li>
<li>Baptism is a symbol of new life and a sign of God's love and forgiveness of our sins.</li>
<li>Persons of any age can be baptized.</li>
<li>We baptize by sprinkling, immersion or pouring.</li>
<li>A person receives the sacrament of baptism only once in his or her life.</li>
<li>No specific age is named, but the expectation is that pastors will encourage baptism to be received promptly AND on a schedule compatible with having appropriate time for meeting with parents, sponsors, and others who are involved most directly in ensuring that the child to be baptized will be nurtured in an environment that will lead her or him to a commitment to personal discipleship to Jesus Christ in the life of the church.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I am a Lutheran and we believe that you must have Baptism to be saved. Methodists do not believe that you need Baptism to be saved. However, baptism is a gift of God's grace to be received as part of the journey of salvation. To refuse to accept baptism is to reject one of the means of grace that God offers us.

I am going to Salt Lake City in 2015 and plan to look for sources in the catalog at the Family History Center: Books and Films. I also plan to continue to search on line and of course source all of my findings.</div>

I was reflecting on my Grandmother Nancy. She died 87 years ago when my mom was only 12 years old. That seems so long ago. I wondered what life was like for her. I hope she knew some happiness when she lived in Truro, Iowa the home of the Bridges of Madison County. Sounds so deserving and so romantic.<br />
<br />
Nancy died on September 30, 1928 leaving a 12 year old daughter, Grace and a 21 year old daughter Blanche. Nancy led a tragic life and it ended with a brain tumor. How sad.<br />
Grandma Nancy grew up in Dane County and Rock County Wisconsin. She too lost her mother at an early age. Nancy was only 10 years old when her mom Cornelia Palon Ames died shortly after childbirth and "froze to death" as the newspaper articles said. I think she died from malnutrition and depression and possibly pneumonia.<br />
<br />
After Cornelia's death Nancy was sent to an orphanage. Her dad, Ira Daniel Ames was too poor and not in any condition to raise the remaining 9 children. When Nancy reached 17 she was discharged from the Orphanage and worked as a servant cleaning houses.<br />
Nancy married in 1904 to Ludwig Hansen and this marriage resulted in the birth of Blanche. Ludwig was affluent but the marriage was not a good match. They had many troubled times and both divorced in 1913. It was not a pleasant divorce. Nancy went to work as a cook for a couple in Wheaton, Illinois.<br />
Shortly after the divorce Ludwig sued a man for $ 10,000 and alienation of affection and "stealing his wife". I think Nancy hid out in Wheaton to escape all the publicity.<br />

In 1916 she married Charlie Worthing and they moved to Truro, Iowa where my mom was born.<br />
From what I have found of this marriage, I think she was happy in Iowa.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Richard Seth Worthing was my first great grandfather. He was born in Llananno, Radnorshire, Wales, the child of Mary Worthin a single woman. Richard died December 18, 1907<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;">.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Richard Worthing was born in the western{Eastern} part of Wales, April 15, 1819, and died at the home of his grandson, J. R. Patterson, December 18, 1907, aged 88 years, 8 months and 3 days. At the age of twenty-one years he was united in marriage to Sarah Ingram. This union resulted in the birth of fifteen children, nine of whom attained the age of maturity and reared families of their own. Of this large family only three remain to mourn the loss of their father. They are Mrs. P. S. Custor, of Otsego, Ohio, J. E. Worthing, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Charles E. Worthing, of Cambridge, Ohio. In addition to the above there are thirty-six grandchildren and thirty nine great grandchildren.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At about the age of twenty-three with his wife he came from Wales to Coshocton county, Ohio, where they resided until the spring of 1849 when with a party from the same county he traveled by the overland route across the plains to the gold fields of California. After about two and one-half years he returned and settled in Guernsey county, Ohio, where he resided until the spring of 1880, when with his faithful wife he came and settled in Madison county, Iowa, where he has resided until his death. On October 24, 1888, he suffered the loss of his beloved companion with whom he had lived happily for fifty-eight years. And when he had lain her at rest in the silent city of the dead her resting spot had a larger place in his mind and heart than the living community where formerly his interest and activities centered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How many hours of each day which made up the little more than nine years of his sorrow and loneliness he spent in silent communion with his God and beloved dead, no one knows. He often expressed a desire to meet the loved ones gone before and his strong vigorous vitality prolonged his life longer than his appearance would indicate. In his early life he accepted Christ as his personal Savior and made a public profession of his faith and after his return from California he united with the Baptist church at Bridgeville, Ohio, of which he was a zelous, influential member until he came to Iowa. Finding here no church of his choice he was instrumental in organizing the present Ohio Baptist church in Madison county, of which he remained a devoted member until his death.</span><br />

On October 24, 1898 he suffered the loss of his beloved companion with whom he had lived happily and faithfully with for fifty-eight years. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
It is not necessary to enlarge upon the noble qualities of this exceptional man's character. Many of you outside the circle of his children have known him intimately for years and the universal testimony of those who knew him is that few men lived as closely to the tenets of the Golden Rule as he did.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Honest and true in his dealings, charitable almost to a fault, doing his dealings of charity quietly and unbeknownst that the recipients of his gifts seldom realized the deprivations of this giver. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
In all of his dealings he was never heard to utter a word that would not be appropriate in any place or any company.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
A good man, an honored citizen, a faithful friend, a tender and affectionate father has gone out from us never more to return; but the fragrance of his memory and the kindness of his deeds, the wholesomeness of his example remains as a record of his life.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
His loss is sincerely mourned, his record shall be cherished, his virtues emulated, and his memory kept keen in our hearts.</div>

My Great Uncle Price Worthing, youngest child and son of Richard Seth Worthing served in the Civil War as a musician. Since reading Cindy Freed's post on Life of a Company Musician or Bugler in the Civil War it gave me a better understanding of Price's service. I put Cindy's story here for all to read. Great read.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Price Worthing served in the Ohio 122d Infantry Regiment,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
B Company as a musician. Enlisted 16 August 1862, stated he was 18 yrs old.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Died of wounds on 17June 1863 at the Battle of Winchester.</div>
<br />
Price loved his country so much he enlisted in the War with his Uncle Thomas Worthing. Thomas died at Andersonville from scurvy which is really such a shame. Basically starvation and no Vitamin C.<br />
<br />
How is Price Worthing related to Adolphus Ames? Price's sister-in-law,Nancy Ames Worthing was the granddaughter of Adolphus Ames. Nancy Ames Worthing wife of Charles Worthing. Charles Worthing is Price's brother.<br />

Today I was lurking around the net and found two graves on <a href="http://findagrave.com/">Findagrave.com</a><br />
<br />
I am still trying to prove that Altheah French Scoville is my GG Grandmother. I match with her in my Ancestry DNA. I found my Great Grandmother (Orthera C Palin aka Cornelia Palon) living with her husband George Scoville in 1850.<br />
<br />
I followed up with Find A Grave lead but the party who posted information on George Scoville did not know anything more about the following.<br />
<br />
Maybe some of my readers can offer suggestions.<br />
<br />

<div>
I am researching Altheah French Scoville. See question 1 and 2 below. </div>

1. Do you know if Althea was married to a Palen prior to marrying George Scoville.</div>
