| 503 | Howard Sheridan Robison son of Robert and Catherine Robison, was born at Sanford, Ind., June 19, 1868, at the home of his brother, George Robison, in Porterville, Cal., February 8, 1949, at the age of 80 years, 7 months and. 20 days. When Sheridan was 17 years, old, he came with his older brothers from Indiana to Scandia. Later on, his parents, and the younger brothers arrived and joined him here. During his early years in Scandia he worked for a time on the Rock Island railroad bridge which was being built. On July 31, 189'0 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Matilda. A. Garber (an error, wife was Matilda A. WELLS, Garber was Howard's mother's maiden name -Ed). Four daughters and three sons were born to this union. The family made their home on a farm north of Scandia for 49 years, until February 1939 when they moved to their home in Scandia. Mr. Robison was preceded in death by his wife, who passed away April 5, 1948, his parents, three brothers, John, Sherman and Harry, and one step-daughter, Amy Garber. Throughout his life Mr., Robison was a good neighbor and friend. Both he and his wife were always ready and anxious to serve others in times of sickness of distress. Although he never affiliated with any church he always was interested in church and Sunday school affairs and was anxious and happy to have his family take an active part. He was a friend of education and worked hard for improvements in the school in the district in which the family lived. During a number of years he served as a member of the, school board in district No. 24. He also served as road overseer and as a Republic County Fair committeeman. He dearly loved little children. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his greatest joy, and he often had long talks with them. Throughout most of his life he was blessed with good health, and his sudden passing came as a great shock to his family arid his friends. Death came only 30 minutes after he had arrived at his brother's home, where he had planned to spend a few weeks visiting. He is survived by his children, Adah, Josie, Robert, Edna, and Sherman, all of Scandia, Sadie of Salina, Edward of Wichita, and a step-daughter, Mrs. Edwin Isaacson of Scandia; five, grandchildren, Martha, Sue, Everett and Charles Robison, Mrs. Leon Wick, Alexandria, Va. and Dwaine Robison, Inglewood, Cal.; two step-grandchildren, Elwyn Isaacson and Mrs. Arthur Schuricht of Maywood, Cal., five great-grandchildren; two brothers, Frank Robison of Monmouth, Ore., and George W.

| 505 | I have not yet found definite proof that Daniel is the son of Jane Knapp and Jacob Santmire. However, he resided only a few doors from Jane Knapp Santmire (1850 Warren Co., VA Census) and his dob was just one year later than Leah Santmyers (d/o Jacob and Jane Knapp Santmire). This certainly is not proof, but could be a lead as to the parentage of Daniel. 1850 Census Warren Co., Va 69th District...........6 July 1850.......980-23 333 345 Daniel St Myers 36 M W Laborer b.

| 507 | In 1730 at the age of nineteen Charles Morris married Mary Read, the daughter of John Read, the Attorney General of Massachusetts. He was initially a schoolteacher but then became a surveyor. Morris commanded a group of soldiers in the unsuccessful Battle of Grand Pre in 1747, and in the spring of 1748 at the direction of Governor William Shirley of Massachusetts, he embarked with a party of fifty men to explore and survey Nova Scotia with a view toward British colonization of the territory. Nova Scotia, then know as Acadia, had initially been settled by French Acadians, but sovereignty over the territory was ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Morris' survey was sent to the Board of Trade and Plantations in England, and a copy is preserved in Halifax. When Halifax was founded in 1749 as a British fortress by the English General Edward Cornwallis, Morris and military engineer John Bruce laid out the town. On 25 Sept 1749 the Governor appointed Morris the Surveyor General of the province, and descendants of Morris held that position for three subsequent generations. In 1753 Morris also laid out the town of Lunenburg, about twenty miles to the west. (The Old Town of Lunenburg is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site - Ed) He subsequently laid out the towns of Lawrencetown, Liverpool, Barrington, and Yarmouth. In 1755 he was appointed to the Governor's Council of Nova Scotia, and that same year he created the first definitive map of Nova Scotia. His Funerary Hatchment is on the wall of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Halifax. | MORRIS, Charles III (I85736)

| 509 | In 1846, Father DeSmet was among the first white men to visit Hayden Lake. But it was not until the late 1870s that the first homesteaders, Joseph Strahorn and three soldiers from Fort Sherman (Matt Hayden, John Hager, and John Hickey) settled in the area. Legend has it that Hayden and Hager, whose homestead was on the site of the present-day Hayden Lake Country Club, played a game of seven-up to determine who should name the lake. Hayden won the card game. Hayden Lake's early economy was based on agriculture, lumber, and recreation. In 1906, a branch of the Inland Empire Railroad electric line extended to the Bozanta Tavern. Hayden Lake attempted to establish an agricultural economy specializing in fruit trees-an endeavor that was thwarted by severe frosts that decimated many of its orchards in the 1930s. The post office was established at Hayden Lake in 1907, and businesses developed at the south end of the lake. The town shifted from this area to Government Way as automobiles replaced rail transportation. In 1959, the post office moved to Hayden Village. The area around Government Way is now incorporated as Hayden. The area from the west shore of the lake to a short distance west of Strahorn Road is incorporated as Hayden Lake. -History of Kootenai County, per Kootenai County web site. | STRAHORN, Joseph A.

| 512 | In 1923 Don was in the Merchant Marines. In 1924 his ship was caught in the typhoon that hit Tokyo Yokohama killing thousands of Japanese. After rambling all over the world, he settled down and became a successful businessman in Seattle. He married again - he and Kate had no children together; Kate had a grown son from a previous marriage. Donald died from a gunshot wound to the head. It was ruled a suicide. The family has always felt that he was murdered by his step-son. Donald was in bed, the revolver placed into the left side of his mouth - the bullet exited through the right temple. Donald was right handed. If he shot himself, it would mean that he held the revolver in his left hand and squeezed the trigger with his left index finger. It would seem unlikely that a right-handed person would use his left hand to end his life. Donald's family in PA wanted the case re-opened, but were not successful in convincing the Seattle authorities. Ref.

| 514 | In order to secure a reliable source for lumber for his mining operations in the Comstock, Walter Scott Hobart organized the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company. By the early 1880s, the company controlled tens of thousands of wooded acres in the Tahoe Basin, and a lumber mill in Incline. Logs cut from Tahoe's east shore were towed to Sand Harbor behind the company's steamship Niagara. The logs then made their way to the Incline mill on railway cars that ran out over the harbor on piers, then north along today's State Route 28. The lumber from the mill continued on its way to Virginia City on the steam powered Great Incline Tramway, which ran straight up the mountain with a vertical rise of 1,400 feet, then along a water flume to the Washoe Valley, where it was loaded onto railroad cars and hauled to the Comstock on the Viginia and Truckee Railroad. Towards the end of the 19th century, timber along the east lake shore became scarce. The railway and sawmill were dismantled and moved to a new location north of Truckee, where a town and sawmill called Hobart Mills was established in 1896 after Hobart's death. The town grew to over 1,500 people. It had wide streets, plentiful housing, social clubs, a schoolhouse, and even a hospital, a resource even Truckee lacked. Hobart Mills continued to operate until 1936 after which it was wound down, drawing to a close over 60 years of the Hobart lumber empire. The Hobart Mills forests, thriving with second growth trees, were sold off to the U.S. Forest Service. | HOBART, Walter Scott (I3148)

| 515 | In the 1870 Census listed with Samuel and older children is Lucinda age 10 and Bettie age 3. His wife Elizabeth died in Mar 1860 and naturally is not listed in the 1860 Census which was taken in August. If Elizabeth was the mother of Lucinda her birth likely was around the same time as Elizabeth's death. Therefore she should have been listed in the 1860 Census. Perhaps Lucinda, being cared for by a relative, wasn't living in the household at the time of the census. That too seems strange since the two older daughters could have taken over the care of the infant. The mother of Bettie is a mystery. By 1880 Samuel is remarried to a 48 year old named Mary. None of the children are living with him, not even Bettie who would be about 13 years old. | REPP, Samuel (I2188)

| 524 | Isaac Gates was born in Berks county on September 7, 1818, and died on his farm in White township, September 26, 1876. He had led a very active life, begin engaged in farming and lumbering many years. He was quite an extensive farmer, and owned a tract of land containing nineteen hundred acres of farm and timber territory, lying in White and Chest townships. He was extensively engaged in the lumber business, owning and operating a saw-mill, besides sending large quantities of lumber by raft and floats to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He was a careful and successful business man, and had accumulated quite a competency. In political faith he was a republican, and in religious belief a member of the United Brethren church, of which he was a liberal supporter; however, he did not confine his liberality to this church, but was deeply interested and very active in everything that was for the benefit of the community in which he lived. His union with Miss Mary, a daughter of John Troxell, a farmer of Reade township, this county, resulted in the birth of eight children, five sons and three daughters: Elizabeth, the wife of Rev. Daniel Strayer, of the United Brethren church of White township; John C., whose sketch appears elsewhere in this book; Lafayette M., a farmer, of Muscatine county, Iowa, who is also a local minister in the United Brethren church; Joel A.; Isaac W., a farmer, residing in Coalport, Clearfield county, Pennsylvania; Perry C., also a farmer, residing in Coalport; Mary M., the wife of J. S. McKee, a farmer of White township, and Hannah, who died in childhood. ( Biographical & Portrait Encyclopedia of Cambria Co., PA, page 125) | GATES, Isaac (I2748)

| 529 | It is not clear why Johannes is listed in the 1810 and 1820 Census in Christiansburg, and in the 1830 Census in (La) Fayette. But there can be no doubt as to the identity of these three families, as the number and ages of the wife and children in the Censuses exactly match Johannes' family. | ZENTMEYER, Johannes (I1644)

| 530 | It should also be noted that Morris, at the direction of the Governor's Council in 1755, prepared a detailed plan that described how the French Acadians might be removed from their lands in Nova Scotia and dispersed elsewhere into other British colonies or back to England and France to counter their continuing resistance to legitimate British colonization. Here are some reasons for the continued French resistance to English colonization after the 1913 Treaty of Utrecht. On September 4, 1755 the Acadian Expultion began in earnest at the direction of Governor Charles Lawrence and continued throughout the French and Indian War, until approximately 10,000 of the 14,000 Acadians living there had been removed from the territory, albeit not without sporadic armed resistance or flights into the woods. Of that number, nearly half died of disease or in shipwrecks. Many who survived eventually ended up in French colonial New Orleans, where 'Acadian' was shortened to 'Cajun.' Acadians were eventually allowed to return to Nova Scotia in small numbers upon pledging fealty to Great Britain. | MORRIS, Charles III (I85736)

| 531 | It was unclear to me as to why Barbary was named in the will of her husband Johannes Zentmeyer who died in 1844, as the date of death on her headstone was 1839, until I checked and found that the will was written in 1838. | WINDLE, Barbary (I1645)
|
| 532 | It's very possible that the Daniel in the death certificate was not Barbara's husband. While the death certificate indicates that he wasn't married, he in fact had three children, Gideon (b.1828) and David and Daniel, presumably twins (b.1831). Even though he wasn't married when he died, nor did he have a wife living with him for the 1850 census, I presume that he was married to the wife of his children at some point. His son David in my great great grandfather and he never spoke of his parents or family in Pennsylvania as far as anyone knows about. There must have been a difficult situation that he had trouble dealing with. One interesting fact however is that he named two of his children Daniel and Barbara. I agree that the distance between Schuykill and Franklin Counties is greater than most colonial people would travel for romance and requires some speculation as to why that may have been. Its also difficult to understand why they would have then separated with the boys staying with the father and the mother returning to Franklin County without them. What happened? The only things that seem to fit are that Barbara and Daniel were about the same age. Both had been married to someone. Barbara's someone was named Daniel Heffner. Very little is know about the people either of them were married to. I'm not sure, but I think we can eliminate other potential Daniel Heffners, husband of Barbara, from that time period by seeing who they were married to. I'll research that. Let me know if you have any other thoughts about this matter. I'm also sending this to my cousin Jane Heffner King, who is a great grand daughter of David Heffner. She's writing a family history. Thanks for your help. Steve Heffner | HEFFNER, Daniel (I1950)

| 535 | Jacob and Jane moved from Frederick Co. to Shenandoah Co. after 1794 and before 1810.* Jacob served in the Virginia Militia from Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia in the 1790's. He possibly served in the Revolutionary War. As only Jane signed the marriage permission for Barney in 1816, it is a strong indication that Jacob had died prior to that date. *The sections of Frederick and Shenandoah Counties, where they lived, were very close together. This area later became part of Warren Co. when it was formed in 1836. See notes under William Harrison Santmyer In the 1790's Jacob served in the Virginia Militia in Winchester, Virginia."

| 536 | Jacob Santmyers was the miller at Bell Grove Plantation in Middletown, Virginia. He was a very important person to the Hite family. Upon Ann Maury Hite's death, the family asked if Jacob wanted to buy anything before the property was auctioned. Jacob bought a pair of mares and some linens. A store ledger has recently surfaced in which Jacob's name appears around 1840, apparently for the purpose of buying and selling goods on behalf of Belle Grove Plantation. Cattle, horses, hogs, and wheat were sold, and supplies were purchased on behalf of the Plantation. So he was an early business agent for the Hite family. This was just before he headed out for Missouri. He did have a problem with Henry Trout, a wagon maker here in Front Royal, as he had to sue him to get the wagon he had paid for. - Ron Santmyers | SANTMYERS, Jacob M. (I0127)
