d her a blessed memory as a wife mother and friend mr redenbaugh bought a piece of land in walnut township after his marriage and there he and his wife commenced keeping house together he worked hard to improve it and bought other land until his farm comprised two hundred acres of most excellent farming land in 1886 he retired from active business and from the rental of his farm he derives a good income his career as a farmer has placed him among the substantial citizens of the township although he began life poor this fact shows that beside being diligent prudent and thrifty he also carried on his work methodically and was shrewd and far seeing in his management of his affairs politically he is a democrat of stanch principles he belongs to the montgomery county horse thief detective association and has always entered readily into any scheme for protecting the interests of the farmer this biographical sketch was taken from portrait and biographical record of montgomery parke and fountain counties indiana containing biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens together with biographies and portraits of all the presidents of the united states published in chicago by chapman bros 1893 jeremiah s drawing and biographical sketch was found on pages 444 446 this county history along with many other ones can be found at the internet archive posted by miriam

old lynn lost his right foot and part of his lower leg due to a terrible railroad yard accident in his hometown of forsyth rosebud county montana it couldn t have been easy to navigate the world as a disabled person in 1911 especially in a small rural town or on the family s farm somehow he and his family figured it out we don t know if he had a prosthesis at such a young age he was known to wear one later 1 but for sure he was using crutches within a few months of his amputation 2 he certainly didn t let his injury slow him down he was a bright lad and held nothing in back in school or in activities by second grade he was a top notch speller in class 3 during forsyth s fourth of july celebrations in 1914 when he was nine he won first place in the greased pole contest 4 which involves climbing a vertical greased pole the fastest his upper body strength must have been pretty good due to compensating for his missing lower limb in third grade he was lauded for having perfect attendance and never being tardy during the month of february 5 by the time he was 15 he could play either the catcher or the pitcher position on his school s sixth grade baseball team the panthers and was scheduled to play a series of seven games against the seventh grade team the giants for the grand prize of five gallons of ice cream while the giants ultimately won a local reporter stated that the game was well played although the panthers received a bad defeat they put up a good exhibition of the national past time and took their defeat like veterans of a couple of world series both teams pounded the horsehide hard and often but the superior playing of the gaints sic was too much for the panthers 6 7 it s not clear why he was 15 years old in sixth grade but schooling in those days was different than today when students were required to help in the family business or on the farm and his family had both they could miss months of school and have to pick up where they left off when they returned speaking of the farm lynn raised pigeons and was declared a winner for his pair of giant runts in the 1920 eastern montana fair held in glendive in neighboring dawson county 8 the following year he won second prize for the best booklet on an agricultural topic the choices were poultry cattle horses hogs wheat corn dairying or potatoes 9 while the newspaper article doesn t give more details it would not have been surprising if the topic was dairying as lynn s father rice had started his jersey island dairy in 1905 on their farm on westaby island on the yellowstone river about a mile west of town 10 the westaby siblings pose c 1910 back row left to right izma lynn george front row reuben guy charles but all was not fair fun and ball games in the westaby family by the time of the 1921 fair rice had married his second wife nora alice myers 11 we don t yet know when he and rebecca divorced but as early as 1914 she had been living separately from him in a home in forsyth that may have been owned by her family working in her son guy s steam laundry 12 she was listed as the head of the household in the 1920 census in her forsyth home with lynn living with her 13 rice was enumerated on the farm with their son reuben 14 by then the older children were adults and no longer living at home george and izma had each married george and his wife rena lerfald lived in forsyth with their four year old daughter helen my children s great grandmother and george s brother guy 15 izma and her husband will leland were living in glendive with their toddler velma and will s brother joe 16 charles had moved south to sheridan wyoming to work for the railroad 17 will leland holds helen westaby while lynn stands nearby c 1917 lynn was now a young man like his older brothers

free photo image by kaboompics com found at pexels com today is independence day in the united states the 249th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence by our founding fathers on this day americans celebrate the birthday of our nation i thought it would be interesting to look through my rootsmagic family tree databases and see what significant events happened on july 4th in our family s history i ran queries in my own database my children s paternal lines database and my grandchildren s paternal lines database there were many july 4th births marriages and deaths of individuals mostly distant relatives there were no july 4th burials which makes sense a burial is a sad occasion and independence day is for celebrations i won t list every july 4th birth marriage or death below but i will list ones for direct ancestors or those which may have had an effect on a direct ancestor births oddly enough only one of the three july 4th ancestor births was on american soil my paternal great great grandfather james w barber was supposedly born on this date in 1841 somewhere in england he is a brick wall ancestor which means i know nothing about his family of origin parents siblings etc i also don t know where in england he was born or lived the first record in which i can positively identify him is the 1871 canada census although i did find an 1862 marriage record for a couple with somewhat wrong names in the correct location that s a blog post for another day another july 4th birth belongs to john d concidine my adoptive 3rd great grandfather who was born to dennis concidine and honora nora gilligan in ennis county clare ireland john s granddaughter nellie may concidine and her husband alfred henry holst adopted my paternal grandmother jane marie york who became jeanne marie holst polly emeline dennis my grandchildren s paternal 3rd great grandmother was born on july 4th in 1840 in tennessee it probably was in overton county where her father james thaxton dennis was found in the censuses from 1820 through 1840 before moving on to dent co missouri polly s mother was lucinda catherine hunter which i find interesting because my grandchildren s surname is hunter their father s direct paternal line but polly and her mother lucinda are found in their paternal grandmother s line this means my grandchildren have hunters on both sides of their dad s family tree these lines don t seem to be related on their dad s paternal side the hunters can be traced into early new jersey while lucinda s line is found in south carolina but hunter after all is a common occupational surname marriages my children s paternal great great grandparents george rice westaby iii and rena lerfald were married on this day in 1915 in glendive dawson co montana i ve been spending a lot of time lately researching the westaby family and am in the middle of a series about george s youngest brother lynn in my own family the only ancestor who had a july 4th marriage was filippus willems jonker he married his first wife grietje eisses on this date in 1812 in kloosterburen groningen the netherlands his second wife catharina klaassens van der laan was my ancestor they married 4 april 1831 after grietje s death and were my 4th great grandparents deaths no july 4th ancestral deaths were located in any of the three family trees however on this date my great great grandparents tjamme wiegers james valk and berber tjeerds barbara de jong tragically lost two children two years apart in grand rapids kent co michigan in 1895 their youngest daughter chaterina died at age 5 months 9 nine days of summer complaint this was an old medical term describing severe diarrhea and dehydration usually in infants typically caused by spoiled milk remember that pasteurization was not common until the 1920s and people in the 1890s relied on ice boxes or cellars to keep their food cool but it was not reliable what s especially sad is that chaterina was the third and last daughter james and barbara had named for james s mother in an attempt to carry on her name in the family in 1897 little tjamme died from measles at one year old the family had just celebrated his first birthday four days earlier his name was recorded as thomas on the death record another anglicization variation pneumonia and encephalitis complications are the most common causes of death from measles it would have been horrible for tjamme s parents to watch him burn up with a fever they couldn t bring down and watch him struggle to breathe we are so fortunate to have a measle vaccine
