DELMAR-Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Cutler (?Davey?), 93, passed into the loving presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, February 18, 2015.

Born in Denver, CO, Mary graduated from Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Delta Delta sorority.

After graduation, she married her college sweetheart, the late Royal A. Cutler, Jr., moved to Troy, and then to West Sand Lake, where they raised their children. Mary was a dedicated mother and homemaker, taught piano for twenty years, served as PTA president, and was active in her church. A concern for civil rights in the late ?60s and early ?70s led her to organize interracial dialogues through the Troy YMCA board and to serve as coordinator of the local chapter of Panel of American Women.She and her husband later moved to Delmar.

At age 50, Mary had a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ, eventually shared by her entire family. In the next few years, she participated in Lay Witness Missions alongside her husband, led numerous Bible studies and prayer groups, and was involved in Women?s Aglow Fellowship as president of the Albany Chapter, an Area Board member, and a speaker sharing her experiences with God. She was actively involved in Emmanuel Christian Church and, most recently, Delmar Full Gospel Church.

In her 80s, Mary wrote and published two books, The First Gleam of Dawn and Till the Full Light of Day that related the miraculous story of her spiritual journey.

Mary will be remembered for her intense love for God and for her family. Dedicated to helping people, she touched many lives and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Mary is survived by her children Laurie (Tom) Knecht, Royal (Mary) Cutler, III, Karen (Rick) Peterson; beloved grandchildren (5) and great grandchildren (8); she is predeceased by her husband, Dr. Royal A. Cutler, Jr.

A Celebration Service will be held on Saturday, February 28, at 10:00 a.m. at Delmar Full Gospel Church, 282 Elsmere Ave., Delmar. Friends are invited to call on the family at the church starting at 8:30 a.m. A private interment for family will take place at Bethlehem Cemetery in Delmar, N.Y.

23        (Clair Brewer, as he was known all his life, is represented in these notes and in this compilation as Alten Clair Brewer, his full name. Family Tree Maker asks for the full name and uses it. In these notes, where possible, I have used the name by which is most familiar to his family, Clair. When the name does not appear as Clair, it is because I have copied something from a source that uses the full name. I apologize for the use of the full name or the name Alten when it is not under my control.)
       Nedra Brewer Adams writes in the History of Hamilton County, Iowa [1986]: "Clair [Brewer] married Margaret Stuart and has two daughters and three granddaughters who live in California. After Margaret's death, Clair married Nell Garland and the couple are co-authors of twelve or more school text books. Their retirement home is in Missouri." [EWB 05.]
       From , Fletchall, Mrs. Charles B. "Smith, Isaac Family," [F611] in The History of Hamilton County, Iowa: 1985. Dallas: Curtis Media, 1986 [ACB 02], the following was written about Alten:
       "Alten Clair Brewer, graduated from Webster City High School in 1931, received his B.A. degree from William Jewell College, MO, 1936; M.S. degree from the University of Arkansas, 1955; and Doctorate in Education degree from the University of Tennessee, 1960.

He is the author of numerous publications on science and aviation (he was a physics instructor and Ground School Flight Instructor at William Jewell College during war years, 1943-45). He co-authored a science textbook for grades 1-6 with his wife, Nell Garland Brewer. They are now retired, living near Springfield, MO. Clair and his first wife, Margaret Stuart (deceased 1977), were the parents of two daughters, Patricia Louise and Maila Jean, both living in California."
       According to his obituary [ACB 01], Clair, as he was known, "held positions as president of the Council for Elementary Science International, director of the National Science Supervisors Commission, president for the Southwest Missouri Teachers Association, and was a member of Sigma Pi Sigma, and Phi Delta Kappa. He receive the Grade Teachers Award for Teaching Excellence in science and mathematics and the Missouri Science Education Award. He was also a coach of track (his favorite), basketball and football. His daughter, Patricia, says that "he was good at it." [MS 02.]
       Some of the same information from the "Smith, Isaac Family" article and from the obituary are repeated and added to in the Who's Who in the Midwest articles, prepared by Clair. Brewer himself.
       He was a member of the Kimberling City Lions Club and the Solomon Masonic Lodge.

24        A Welch Family family history was printed, May 26, 1991 [I would like to know the author - I have a suspicion that it is Barbara Jane Mize or Elsie Welch Rushia, but that suspicion needs confirmation. In any case, the entire documents will be reproduced in this compilation where it best fits.] It contains some important facts:
"Samuel Welch (c. 1798 - September 28, 1869 and [Elizabeth] Betsy Welch (?)
       European origins of and time of immigration of the Welches to the colonies or United States remain obscure. They may be descended from John Welch (1520-1568) of Coliston Dunfrieshire, Scotland. His family came from lower Scotland and had some connection with the Stuarts and John Knox. Many members of the family reportedly joined the clergy. No definite connection exists at this writing, but Elsie Welch Rushia believed that the Welches were of Scotch-Irish origin: i.e., related to the Scots who were transported to Northern Ireland in 1603 by James I.
       Very little is known of Samuel and Betsey Welch beyond what is available in the early census records. He was originally from Connecticut. In 1820, they lived in Elmira, Chemung County, New York. By the end of that decade, they were living in Erie County, Buffalo, New York where Bold Dighton was born July 17, 1828. They followed the westward movement into Ohio, settling on a farm in Wakeman, Huron County, Ohio prior to 1850." [DCW 01.]
       In the 1850 U. S. Federal Census, Samuel Welch is a 52 year old, married, male farmer, whose real estate is valued at $550. He was born in New York and is married to Elizabeth (Betsy). It appears, [although I cannot be certain from the way in which the information is presented] that two families are living together. There may be the following children of Elizabeth and Samuel: Oscar, Nehemiah, Alpheus, Betsy, Julia, Mary, and Russell. It appears that Russell is married to Louisa and that they have three children: Sarah, Louisa, Abner. In addition, there is an Elias Welch, 56, a farmer, who could be the brother of Samuel. Bold Dighton lives in the same area with a new wife, Anna, and no children. The Samuel Welch (and Russell Welch) family lives in Wakeman Township, Huron County, New York. [SW 01.] [If the wrong names are attached to Samuel and Elizabeth, I hope that someone will correct me. DLL.]
       In the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, Samuel Welch is a 60 year old, white, married male. He is a farmer whose real estate is valued at $2,400 and personal estate at $800. He was born in New York state. He is living in Wakeman Township, Huron County, Ohio, with his wife, Elizabeth (Betsy), one son (Russell who is dying), and three daughters (Betsy, Eunice-probably Julia, and Mary Ann). Alpheus, Louisa - the assumed wife of Russell - and Russell and Louisa's three children (Louisa, Sarah, Abner), and a child by the name of Marenda, live on a neighboring farm.

26        About the parish church at Fordington in the borough of Dorchester:
       Fordington, deriving its name from the ford over the river Frome, is a parish in the Union of Dorchester, Dorchester Division within the borough of Dorchester. the ancient parish church is a cruciform structure, partly of Norman and partly of English architecture.
       The parish church of Fordington was dedicated to St. George in 1505 and was anciently called the church of St. George in Dorchester. It is large and well built, and standing on rising ground, shows itself to much advantage at a great distance. It consists of a chancel, tiled (rebuilt 1750, by Mrs. Pitt the impropriator), a body, transept or cross aisle and a north aisle to the chancel, all covered with lead and compass-roofed. The tower is 80 feet high, adorned with battlements and pinnacles and contains five bells and a clock.
       Little remains of antiquity except the vestiges of a rude lift, near the chancel; and over the porch of the south door, rudely cared in stone the effigies of Saint George on horseback, armed with a lance, in combat; behind him are two figures kneeling, with hands uplifted. On the pulpit is this date 1592.
       The Bishops Transcripts of the ancient parish registers partially exist from 1577, but the parish register dates only from 1704. The living is a vicarage. [WSp 03.] 		Sprague, William (I1990)
 
27        According to Lee, J. W. History of Hamilton County Iowa. Chicago: J. S. Clarke, 1912; p. 47, Evaline McKowan was born shortly after the arrival of the McKowan family in Hamilton County: "In the Spring of 1855, Luther Lakin left home, intending to get married and meet his father and other settlers on the Skunk (River), but he arrived about two weeks earlier than the rest and can therefore lay just claim to being the first settler in the east part of the county and in Lyon township. About two weeks after his arrival Elisha Lakin, B. A. Lakin, and E. P. McCowan came and all settled near each other. The men turned in and helped Mr. McCowan to build a cabin, which was the first house built in that part of the county. McCowan moved into his new house and shortly afterwards Evaline McCowan was born, being the first white child born in the east half of the county.
       In the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, Evaline McKowan is a four year old female, who was born in Iowa of Edward P. McKowan and Lucinda Lakin Kendall Morgan McKowan. She is living in Clear Lake township with E. P. McKowan and Emaline McKowan. Her mother, Lucinda Lakin McKowan passed away in 1857. She is approximately four years old. EPM 04.]
       In the 1870 U.S. Federal Census, Evaline Elizabeth McKowan is a 14 year old, white, single female, living with Edward P. McKowan and Emaline Whitney McKowan. She is living in Fremont Township, Hamilton County, Iowa. She was born in Iowa of a foreign born parent (Edward P. - Canada) and Lucinda Lakin Kendall Morgan McKowan (Pennsylvania). She lives with her parents and six step bothers and sisters (Emerline, Josephine, Thomas, Mary, Joseph, and Anna). She is at school. [EPM 05.]
       In the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, Evaline Elizabeth McKowan is married to William Granville Brewer. She is a 23 year old, white, married female who is keeping house. She lives with her husband in Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa. With Eva and William are two children - Mabel and Edward. Eva was born in Iowa of parents who were both born in Illinois (not true - the father, Edward P. McKowan was born in New Brunswick, Canada - DLL.] [WGB 03.]
       In the 1885 Iowa State Census, Evaline McKowan Brewer is living in dwelling 78, family 84, in Cass Township, Hamilton County, Iowa. [She is probably divorced from William G. Brewer, although the census indicates that she is married.; She didn't marry D.C. Welch until 1890.] She is living alone with her son Edward next to the Edward P. McKowan family. She works as a seamstress. [EPM 11.]
       In the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, Evaline McKowan Brewer is married to Dighton Carlos Welch. She is living in Woolstock Township, Wright County, Iowa with her husband, three step daughters (Maude, Della, and Jessie) and a son (Earl G.). She has been married for ten years; she was born in September of 1853. According to this census, she has three living children. They would be Earl G. Welch, Mabel Brewer Pierce, and Edward Brewer.

       nbsp;      . Mrs.D. C. Welch Is Dead

       . Mrs. D. C. Welch, until but very recently an honored resident of Jewell, is dead. Mrs. Welch had for a long time been in very poor health, but gaining strength, had gone to Minneapolis where she spent two months recuperating. When the Welch family removed to Ames, Mrs. Welch went directly to their new home from Minneapolis and in a short time again became very sick.
       On Monday of last week she was taken to a hospital at Des Moines and on Wednesday was operated on for gall stones. Saturday morning death came. Her daughter, Miss Mande Welch, who teaches in the Jewell schools, left Thursday afternoon to be with her mother, he place in the schools being taken temporarily by Miss Lillian Olson.
       Before dieing, Mrs. Welch had made the request that she be buried beside the members of her family in the cemetery at Webster City, and in deference to her expressed wish the body was taken to Webster City for interment Tuesday. Funeral services were held from the Baptist church sat two O'clock Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. L. N. Call,
pastor of that church.
       Mrs. Welch with her husband and family lived in Jewell for about five years and in that time made hosts of loyal friends who sincerely mourn her departure from life and who sympathize with the grief stricken family. She was always an active, faithful and untiring worker in the church and was one of the most loyal members of the Congregational church. The husband and children who survive her all have the sincere sympathy of every one in Jewell and vicinity in the great bereavement that has come to them.  		McKowan, Evaline Elizabeth (I576)
 
28        According to Brewer-Bonebright and Bonebright-Closz [WGB 01], William Granville Brewer was named for W. G. Berkley, a lawyer who had located in Homer [Iowa]. According to Lee (Lee, J. W. History of Hamilton County Iowa, Volume 1. Chicago: S. J. Clarke, 1912; pp. 97, 274, 288), W. G. Berkley was a defense lawyer in several prominent cases in Hamilton County, as well as a Captain in Company F, Second Iowa Cavalry during the Civil War.
       There is no death date for William G. Brewer. The story that is told, and I have it in a letter from a granddaughter of William G. from a second marriage to Estelle Comley, Margaret Strachan, which goes as follows: "My mother related to me that her Dad had left to go on a cattle drive to Texas. He never returned. It was my understanding that they didn't know where in Texas." [MMS 01.] It appears that William G. Brewer never returned to Iowa. No one knows where or when he died. This is somewhat of a mystery. However, It is claimed that he died in 1910. The 1910 U. S. Federal Census for his wife, Harriet Estella Comley Brewer indicates that she is a widow. However since there appears to be no death record and no grave, certainly not in Webster City, where is he???
       In her 1985 article in the History of Hamilton County, Iowa, 1985, Nedra Brewer wrote the following about William Granville Brewer: " In February of 1853, William Granville Brewer was born and joined the other sons and daughters in hunting for the family food, plowing, planting, and doing all the things necessary to live off the land.
To the south and east of Newcastle were two other new communities, Lakins Grove and Homer. the latter was the larger and more enterprising, but the former is important in this family because it was the home of Evelyn McKowen. Evelyn and William met, were married and had two children: Mabel who married into the Pierce family, and a son, Edward Wilson. Mabel moved to Minnesota but Edward lived in and around the area and married Emma Smith, the youngest daughter of Isaac Smith. Isaac Smith was another pioneer. [EWB 05.]
       In the 1856 Iowa State Census, William G. Brewer is two years old, living with his mother, Margaret, his father, Wilson, and six siblings. He was born in Iowa. [WB 20.]
       In the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, William G. Brewer is a six year-old, white male, born in Iowa, and going to school. He is living with his mother.
       In the 1870 U.S. Federal Census, William Brewer is 16 years old, white, male, and a farm laborer; he was born in Iowa; he had attended school within the year. And again, he is living with his mother. [MJM 02.]
       In the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, William Brewer is head of household in Webster City, Iowa. He is white, male, married, 28 years old, a laborer. He was born in Iowa and indicated that both his parents were born in Indiana. (I know that his mother was born in Indiana, but his father may have been born in North Carolina, according to Brewer, Warren H. (1936). History of Brewer Family of North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois and McKnight, Galyean (Gallion), Barr, Hutton, Bloxom, Lamb, Lewis and related families; also Woodworth, Newkirk, Crossland, Finley, Hatch, Hubbard and Carter. Terre Haute, IN: Self-published. [Can be found in Library of Congress; can also be purchased through Higginson, Salem Massachusetts.] With William are Eva[line] McGowan, his wife, 23 years of age, who is keeping house and whose parents were born in Illinois. Included are Mabel, a four year old daughter; and, Edward, a two year old son. The children's parents, William and Eva, were both born in Iowa.
       In the 1895 Iowa State Census, William Brewer is head of household in the 4th ward of Webster City. He is 41. In this household are Estella, his wife (35) and three daughters: Lulu (5), Myrtle (3), and Elva (1). William is a laborer, subject to military duty, and entitled to vote in elections. Both Estella and William are of protestant orientation in religion. Estella was born in Wisconsin and William was born in Hamilton County, Iowa. [WGB 05.]
       In the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, William Brewer is head of household in Boone Township, Webster City, IA. William is white, male, and born in February of 1854; he is 46 years old, married, and has been married 12 years. He was born in Iowa; did not give the birthplace of his parents; he is a day laborer who has been out of work for two months (The census was taken on June 4, 1990). He owns the house that he and his family live in, free and clear. He must have divorced Evaline McGowan, probably in 1877/78. Then, he and Estella Comley married soon thereafter. Estella Comley is a white, female who is 41 years old. She was born in August of 1858 and has been married 12 years. She is the mother of three children, who are living. She was born in Wisconsin, her father in England, and her mother in Ohio. There are three white, female children from this family: Lulu 10 - July 1889, Myrtle 8 - July 1891, and Elva 5 - August 1894. They were all born in Iowa as was their father; their mother was born in Wisconsin. Of the five people in this family, the two adults can read, write, and speak English. Lulu is also literate since she is in school. It is not clear that Myrtle and Elva cannot read, write, and speak English. The census does not give that information.
       I have checked the U.S. Census in 1910, 1920, and 1930, but I have not found him in any state. He seems to have disappeared. And, for some reason, maybe that is what he wanted to do. But I, for one, would like to know the motive. 		Brewer, William Granville (I575)
 
29        According to her mother, Annette,:
"Deb's whole career was spent in the human services field. In 1995, she was hired by Kenosha County to set up a training program for county, state, and federal human services programs. She held training sessions across the state of Wisconsin. She served on two state boards and in 1996 was asked to present Wisconsin's Welfare to Work (W-2) program to the National "Conference of Eligibility Workers, held in Anchorage, Alaska. She was Kenosha County's chief ethics officer. Upon her death, the flags were flown at half-staff in Kenosha.
       Deb was a very talented person. She not only did handwork, but did some painting and made beautiful Ukrainian eggs. She was also gifted with the ability to converse with anyone she met. The Hebrew meaning of Deborah is "Industrious or Busy Bee and she certainly was that." [DEF 01] 		Formo, Deborah Eileen (I1136)
 
30        According to J. W. Lee, History of Hamilton County, Iowa (Chicago, Illinois: S. J. Clarke), 304-06:
[IS 01], David was a shoemaker, who followed his trade for nine years, but at the expiration of that time he remove with his family to Syracuse, where he engaged in the same occupation during the ensuring four years. Their next removal was to a little village in the vicinity of Cortland, and there he resumed his trade, which he followed at that point until 1863. In April of that year, he joined a colony going to Yankton, South Dakota, leaving his family in New York state. On his way westward, he stopped at Fort Doge, this state[Iowa], coming from there to Webster City, where he worked at his trade until August, 1863, when he returned to New York and in November, of that same year, came back to Webster City with his entire family. He remained here until 1885, when he again started westward with his wife and family in Webster City. For two years thereafter, he worked at his trade in Barber county, Kansas, going from there to California, where he passed away on the 7th of September 1893. The mother's death occurred three days later in Webster City, the father begin seventy-six years of age at the time of his demise and the mother sixty one.

31        According to J. W. Lee, History of Hamilton County, Iowa, (Chicago, Illinois: S. J. Clarke, 1912, 304-06), the education of Isaac Smith was obtained in the public schools of the state of New York, where he passed the first fifteen years of his life. After coming to Iowa, he turned his attention to agricultural pursuits and has ever since followed this vocation. At the age of twenty-one years, he began farming for himself, having acquired one hundred and sixty acres of prairie land, which form the nucleus of his present homestead. He subsequently extended the boundaries of his farm until he now holds the title to two hundred and forty acres, all of which is under high cultivation and annually yields abundant harvest which amply reward him for his hard labor. Mr. Smith has all of his land fenced hog tight and his fields are tiled. In connection with general farming, he makes a specialty of breeding and raising Duroc Jersey hogs and he also buys and feeds cattle for the market. He is diligent and enterprising as well as progressive in his methods and takes great pride in keeping up his place, the general appearance of which evidences the exercise of sound judgment and systematic supervision in its operation.
       The family attend the Methodist Episcopal church, and fraternally, Mr. Smith is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, being a member of Webster Lodge, No. 342. In his political views, he is republican and has served for six years as member of the school board. From early youth, Mr. Smith has been entirely dependent upon his own resources, and such success as has come to him through the intervening years is the result of Ernest, persistent effort and the determination of purpose that refused to acknowledge defeat. He is held in high regard in his community, where he has resided for forty-three years and is known to be a man of sterling worth and integrity.
       According to Mrs. Charles B. Fletchall [ACB 02], the Isaac Smith family lived on a farm near Kamrar and lived their final years at 1526 Des Moines Street, Webster City, Iowa.

       On March 12, 1857, "Roll" Brewer became the administrator for the estate of his father, Wilson Brewer. His older brother, Andrew J. Brewer was the original administrator for the W. Brewer estate, but he died very suddenly on March 07, 1857. Between 1857 and 1866, not much attention was given to this matter other than the routine paying of bills and sale of property to support the minor children of W. Brewer. There was the matter of the Civil War in which B. R. Brewer did participate. In 1866, his administration was challenged by Thomas B. Bonebright, husband of B. R. Brewer's younger sister, Sarah. "Roll" Brewer was accused of being "guilty of waste and mal administration." He was summoned to court, defended himself, and subsequently resigned as administrator of the W. Brewer estate. [BRB 11.]

Also living with them are three people: Ruth Blair(n), a 15 year old single female; Wilson Blair, a 28 single, white male, a laborer; and, Fred Blair, a 21 year old, white, single male. [BRB 24.]

       Roll Brewer Drops Dead Aged Pioneer Settler of Webster City Falls Dead in Home of Apoplexy, Came Here in 1850 Had Lived in This Community Longer Than any Other Man
       B. R. Brewer, known in Webster City for a good many years as "Roll" Brewer, dropped dead in his home Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock of apoplexy. He had been in poor health for some time, but had been up and about all the time and his passing came unexpectedly and as a shock to relatives and friends.
       The funeral was held this afternoon from the home at 1131 James street, conducted by Rev. Manson E. Miller. Mr. Brewer was past 86 years of age, having been born Oct. 20, 1834 in the state of Indiana.
       Came Here in 1850
       Benjamin R. Brewer came to Hamilton county with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Brewer, in 1850 and the family located near the present site of Stratford, later called Hook's Point. They came from Indiana with an ox team and covered wagon and never crossed a railroad in the entire trip. After living near Hook's point for a year the family removed to what was known as the Eyer farm, just southeast of what is now Webster City and what was later a part of Webster City. A year or two later the family removed to a claim a little nearer to the present site of Webster City and built a cabin on the north bank of Brewer creek, near the bridge on Superior street.
At the time of his death Mr. Brewer had lived longer in Webster City and vicinity than any other man, having come her with his parents in 1851 and having lived here and in this section of country for seventy years. His sister, Mrs. Thomas Bonebright, who survives him, alone equals his record of long residence and still lives in this city on a part of the homestead her father entered along in 1852.
Saw Town Start
       Mr. Brewer witnessed the building of Webster City from the time the first house was erected to the present. When the family located on what was later known as the Eyer farm there was not another family in this vicinity. There was not a fence, a road or any kind of improvement, the landscape being exactly as it had been for ages.
A span of seventy years is a long time in the history of Webster City. In fact it has witnessed every improvement made here. The hardy pioneers who came to this part of Iowa in the fifties endured all the hardships incident to the opening up of a new country and they laid the broad foundations for the present civilization and prosperity. The present generation knows nothing of what they encountered and overcame, the trials that beset them and the fortitude with which they met and conquered all obstacles.
The deceased lived here continuously except during his service in the Civil war. Shortly before his departure for the front he was married to Jane Frakes, daughter of Patrick Frakes, a neighbor pioneer. Before his return from the war his wife died, leaving an infant daughter, now Mrs. Jennie Carmichael, of Clarion. Later he married Betsey Frakes, who also died leaving a daughter six weeks old, now Mrs. Margaret House, of Harlingen, Texas. His third wife, Judith Stone-Brewer, bore him three children, Charles of Kansas City, Fred, deceased, and Annetta Bell of this city who was but two weeks' old at her mother's death. To his last marriage with Ellen O'Rourke, now deceased, one son was born, Frank, who resided with his father at his death.
Roll Brewer served in the 16th Iowa regiment under Captain Williams. The time covered only about a year but was strenuous and picturesque as he was engaged at Nashville and accompanied Sherman on his march to the Sea and less destructive raids. At the close of hostilities he received his discharge, and for several years has drawn a pension.
       His passing leaves but one of the original votes who elected our first county officers, after the division of Hamilton and Webster counties. All now are gone except J. D. Sketchley.
During the early years of his residence here, "Roll" hunted and trapped over almost every foot of what is Hamilton county, and as the herds of big game diminished in size he covered Boone, Wright, Webster and Humboldt counties. He was an expert marksman and has killed dozens of deer on the site of our present city: a favorite haunt of deer being the ravine which flanks his home and the bottom lands along the river. The numbers of wolves, wildcats, rattlesnakes and other dangerous varmints killed by him easily ran into the hundreds.
       He was a student of nature instead of books. He knew the habits and haunts of wild beasts and their trails and tracks. He knew the feeding-;laces of wild-fowl and the nesting places of wood-songsters. He knew the bird's love twitter, the note of content or the scream of fear. He loved the forest trees and ferns and native flowers. He could take a B-line through the woods to a storehouse of wild honey, and the root and herb fields were familiar to him. As he studied animals he studied men and found them much the same. The instinct of animals and the intuition of men is for protection, he declared, and if not gained by open conflict then by craft and cruelty. He guessed the intent of a man as accurately as he predicted the spring of the panther and he gauged his conduct accordingly. He was unacquainted with the inside walls of schools, but he was not unfamiliar with the ordinary processes of the human mind. He did not give snap judgment, but given a premise and his conclusions were generally unerring--they reached the mark as his bullets hit the target.
In this initial trip to Homer, Roll Brewer, then a youth, lost his bearings for the first and last time. Thereafter he made such a thorough study of the surrounding topography that he became an accurate and valued guide for travelers and newcomers wishing to locate land. He knew the natural fords, the location of springs and the well-stocked fishponds, and piloted the pioneers on raft, flatboat or in canoe as well as through woods across swamps or over prairies.
       Roll Brewer had the outlook and understanding of the pathfinder, and admitted in confidence that he should have followed the frontier instead of yielding to inertia of nature and the cramping, dwarfing confines of civilization. He, however, registered no complaints and held no resentment. He passed tranquilly through the startling changes of his more than four-score years. He kept his feet firmly planted on the ground and retained his mental faculties until the moment of his death. His advice was dependable and his friendship enduring. He was quiet, unobtrusive, unafraid. When the death of a father full of years calls from the lips of a grief-stricken son, the cry--"He was a good father to me," the long life of struggle has not been in vain. Success is achieved. [BRB 07.]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       (I have had a relatively long struggle to figure out the names of the last two wives of Benjamin Brewer. It is my belief that he had four wives: Jane Frakes; Betsey Frakes - these two are very clearly the names of the first two. The name Judith Henshaw is also sometimes Judith Stone. The marriage document clearly says Henshaw, but there is also the name Judith Stone in BRB 07. While I cannot completely prove that they are the same, I will make that assumption. The name of the 4th wife is most difficult to prove concretely. Is it Nellie Conlin as the marriage document indicates [BRB 6] or is it Ellen O'Rourke? In a Department of Interior Document [BRB 21], the name of his wife is Ellen Elizabeth O'Rourke, whom it says that he married in Aug. of 1889 by A. P. Flemming, J. P. The date of the marriage document is June 20, 1889 and A. P. Flemming is the J. P. Because the affidavit from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions and the marriage document are so close, I will accept as a working hypothesis that Ellen E. O'Rourke and Nellie Conlin are the same person.
       The document also indicates a Julia Stone of a previous marriage, who died September 1880. I do not have a death date for Judith Henshaw. Because the 1885 Iowa State census indicates B. R. Brewer as a widower [BRB 19] and because the 1880 U. S. Federal Census indicates a living wife, Judith C. [BRB 08], I have to assume that Benjamin's third wife, died between 1880 and 1885. Thus, the death of Julia Stone in Sept. of 1880 can be accepted as a reasonable hypothesis for her death month and year. Therefore, another working hypothesis is that Judith Stone, Julia Stone, and Judith Henshaw are the same person.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The National Archives Pension file on Benjamin R. Brewer (SC 880.522) appears to be a typical set of documents - at least as I have seen them - for a soldier from the Civil War. The illnesses of such soldiers, and B. R. Brewer appears to be no exception, are denied, pensions are denied for a number of reasons, all of which appear to prevent the soldier from receiving a pension. Roll Brewer it appears has been sick with kidney and breathing problems since after the Civil War. He is denied at first because he cannot prove a birth date, he is illiterate, or there is lack of belief in his illness. I cannot reproduce the file here, but anyone who reads it should read it carefully to ascertain my reading of the file. [BRB 22.]

       A story that was sent to me by Nadine Dingman, Webster City, Iowa, that has "Roll" Brewer in it::
Webster City Remembers Death of Circus Strong Man
       Des Moines Sunday Register, June 23, 1985.
       By Tom O'Donnell
       WEBSTER CITY, IA. -- Monsieur Dialo died over a handful of peanut shells.
       Dialo, a strong man with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily Circus, probably never knew it, but it was those fateful shells, thrown through a window at a drunken Webster City saloon keeper, that led to his fatal shooting 97 years ago this week.        Dialo's body still lies in Webster City's Graceland Cemetery, left behind but not forgotten by the Ringlings.
       "The Ringling Brothers Circus supposedly put flowers out each year" on Memorial Day, said Max Maxon, editor of the Webster City Freeman Journal, and a Webster City native.
       But the flowers ended a few years ago, Maxon said, leaving just a few plastic sprays. This year, Maxon drummed up some attention for Dialo's grave (Section I, Lot 41), and several bouquets appeared there this Memorial Day. "He was remembered better than he was for years," Maxon said.
       It would have been easy for Dialo, who was really 25 year-old James W. Richardson, to be forgotten, buried far from his Rhode Island hometown. Webster City turned out to be the final destination in a trip that started with the Ringlings in 1884.
       "His name appears in the route book" for the circus in 1884, said Bob Parkinson, curator of the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. Henry Ringling North's 1960 book, "The Circus Kings: Our Ringling Family Story" notes that the Ringlings' 1884 winter wagon show, "The Carnival of Fun," was joined in the last part of its 1884 tour by "talented young James Richardson, who was billed as Monsieur Dialo. They liked him so much that they engaged him for the circus as well."
Neither North's book nor Parkinson's records shed much light on what Richardson did with the circus, but the Webster City Graphic noted in its editions that Richardson "was the magician, fire eater, and man who lifted the heavy weights with the circus. He was a man of splendid physical development."
       No mention of Richardson is made in an advertisement in the June 20, 1884, Webster City Freeman. "THE BIGGEST AND BEST SHOW -- Ever in Hamilton County will exhibit in Webster City Saturday, June 23rd!" the ad said. "Ringling Bros. 7 Monster Shows!" Admission was advertised at 25 cents.
Peanut Shells and Revenge
       An account in the Graphic bring up the strange connection between a handful of peanut shells and the altercation. The night of June 23, while the circus was performing on the edge of town, "Roll Brewer, who was partially drunk, threw a handful of peanut shells into Tom Basket's window and made an insulting remark to Tom."
       Basket followed Brewer onto the circus grounds, knocked him down and "kicked him in the face in a most brutal manner," newspaper accounts say. Brewer's daughter ran to her father's defense, and was knocked down and kicked in turn.
       Basket was "giving her rather rough usage, when some of the showmen interfered"
       "Tom went downtown again," the Graphic reported. "He either had his revolver with him or went after it and in a short time returned to the grounds, threatening to 'do up' the show generally."
       The Freeman reported on June 27, 1888, that a coroner's jury charged Basket with first-degree murder. "The prevailing opinion in the community will fully sustain the finding of the coroner's jury; yet all law-abiding citizens agree that the accused -- bad as he is -- is entitles to his day in court, and until a legal examination is had, it is only proper and right that the public judgment shall be suspended as to the measure of Tom Basket's guilt."
       Altercation with Showman
       Basket was held for trial in February 1889. One witness said, "I heard him say that he was looking for a fellow that struck him, and that he was going to lick the fellow before he left town."
       One of the circus workers didn't like Basket's tone of voice, and may have recognized him from the first incident. He told Basket to leave.
       The town marshal, a man by the name of Hathway, testified that he saw Basket arguing with the circus worker. "A showman was asked to go away. He didn't go," testified a terse Hathway. "He went when I took him."
       Basket said he had done nothing wrong, and "No son of a ____ of a showman could run him out. Just then they run right up and began striking," Hathway testified.
       Hathway was struck several times in the melee, and Deputy Sheriff John Atkinson ran to his aid. Richardson, about that time, walked out of a nearby sideshow tent.
       Atkinson, meanwhile, picked Basket upon off the ground and began leading him off the grounds.
       Fatal Interruption
       Richardson, trying to break things up, told the crowd, "Boys, stand back, I'll settle this matter." Richardson took hold of one circus man and told Atkinson, "You take care of your man and I'll take care of mine."
       Atkinson was pushing a resisting Basket down the road, headed off the grounds, when Basket suddenly turned, drew a .38-caliber pistol, and fired.
"I'm shot!" Richardson said, grabbing his abdomen. He staggered into a sideshow tent, then was rushed to the Willson House to be cared for.
Basket, as he was being taken away, muttered that "he hope by God he'd killed him," Atkinson testified.
       Richardson was struck in the abdomen, the bullet lodging near his spine. After lingering for a day, he died on Sunday, June 24, 1888.
       Basket was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to 15 years at Anamosa, despite an appeal for mercy by his lawyer.
       "I may be added, to the credit of human sympathy, that there were but few dry eyes in all that vast audience," the Freeman wrote on March 6, 1889. "The picture...was one seldom seen in a life time! there sat the father accused of murder, literally buried under the evidence -- surrounded by his three children, the youngest of whom is a motherless baby, too young to list 'Father'..."
       Ringlings Bought Tombstone
       Richardson's relatives, a father and sister from Nantucket, R. I., either forgot about him or decided not to make the long trip to Webster City for the funeral. the Ringlings bought a tall stone to make the grave, and engraved it both with Richardson's real name and his stage name, Monsieur Dialo.
       "The whole affair is a most disgraceful and unfortunate one," the Graphic reported. "The showmen are, so far as we can see, blameless in the matter."
       The experience apparently left a sour taste in the Ringlings' mouths. "The Ringling brothers at that time swore they'd never show in Webster City again," Maxon said. It was a promise they held to until the 1920s. [BRB 25.] 		Brewer, Benjamin Roland (I973)

45        Alma Anna Augusta Arndt Lange, like her husband, Art, was a cheerful soul. Dale's perceptions of her always saw her with a broad smile and a cheerful heart. When Dale came to Fairchild, Wisconsin for visits, Aunt Alma always seemed to be cooking on the wood stove in the kitchen of the farm house. And, the meals always "schmekt," whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of his favorites was Aunt Alma's fried chicken. And, there was usually plenty of it. He even watched her chase down the chickens, behead them, clean them, and fry them. And, on top of that came the mashed potatoes. Wonderful memories. Oh, yes, he saw Alma cry once, at Phyllis and Alman Burrowes wedding. But, she was both happy and sad; happy for her daughter and sad that she was losing her. Alma also milked cows. Dale can still see her on the milking stool, squirting milk into the pail. And, sometimes Dale got a chance to get squirted in the mouth with warm milk...yummmmmmmmm!
       On the day of Alma's funeral, Dale was on his way from Minneapolis, Minnesota. When he got to the Wisconsin border, he realized that Wisconsin was in a different time zone. And, did he then burn rubber. He got to the church just as the church bell was ringing. Almy Burrowes was waiting at the door with tears in his eyes. He was afraid that Dale would not be there before the casket was closed. But, Dale made it. The last person to view her. She didn't have a smile on her face, but that is the way Dale remembers her.
Art and Alma farmed in Cleveland Township, Jackson County, south of Fairchild, Wisconsin from 1915 to 1967 when they sold the farm and moved into Fairchild itself. She, like her husband, was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church.
       Judith Anne Schlegelmilch (Macke) [JAS 01] says: "Alma baked all her bread when they lived on the farm - she made the best rolls and loaves of bread. I would watch her bake when I was a kid. She always had a large vegetable garden and I would help her pick various vegetables from the garden. She only had a wood burning stove to work with. She canned vegetables and even canned meat sometimes. I would spend a week or so at Grandma's during strawberry picking time and go over to Grandma sisters to pick the berries to make some money."

       An undated obituary for Henry Walter Emanuel was printed after his death. It was provided by Lois Krienke Papke. It reads as follows:
       Edward Walter Emanuel
       Henry Walter Emanuel, son of Edward and Pauline Emanuel was born in this village, September 17, 1900, when a month old he was baptized into the Lutheran church. As soon as he reached the age of discretion he entered the confirmation class and on May 16, 1925, he, together with 21 others renewed the pledge of allegiance to the church which matured him in his faithfulness toward his Savior and his church, he never wavered. The deceased had been endowed with splendid mental gifts and with a friendly and winning personality, the community was soon convinced there was a citizen of no mean ability, and after he graduated from Fairchild High School he held the office of village treasurer for eight consecutive years, while holding this office his integrity was never questioned, and was always ready to advise those who came to him with their problems. When the present administration took over their reign of government, Walter was appointed postmaster and again his talents stood him in good stead and he left this post in such a condition as to bring his successor the least possible difficulty.
       A few weeks ago the deceased suffered an attack of severe pain, and suffering, but this attack passed. But not for long - on Sunday, May 24, he had another attack which the doctor diagnosed as very serious. It was a ruptured appendix and called for an immediate operation. Though this operation was a success, it was soon learned that peritonitis had set in and Walter could not live. In spite of all medical skill and loving hearts and hands could do he passed away, June 2, 1936, at the Sacred Heart hospital at Eau Claire at the age of 35 years, 8 months and 15 days.        His passing was peaceful and resigned and his dying wish was to meet his mother over there. Walter's early passing has left may wounded hearts and tear stained eyes. The grieving survivors are his father, Edward Emanuel; his mother having preceded him (2 years) and one sister, Selma Krienke, an uncle, William Zech, a constant companion, living with the family many years; a large circle of relatives and friends, far and near.
       Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Lutheran church, Rev. Paul Buck officiating. He took his text from John 1 Verse 11; Matthew 14 and Verse 12, and in order to accommodate the overflow crowd, two loud speakers were installed to convey Rev. Buck's message and the music to the packed throng outside the church. It was by far the largest funeral ever held in Fairchild. to give some idea of the immense crowd, it took thirty minutes for them to pass by and view the remains. the flowers were beautiful and the large amount of them showed the love and respect held for him by all.
       The pallbearers were postmasters as follows: Knuth of Neillsville; John Michael of Humbird; H. Quast of Willard; Barnes of Greenwood; Myres of Loyal, and ??? of Granton.
       Persons from out of town to attend the funeral are: Mrs. Sam Gillus, Oak Park, Ill.; Mrs. Joe Parry and Gladys Parry, Mrs. and Mrs. Otto Zech, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wenzlaff, Champaign, Ill.; Mrs. and Mrs. Gust Emanuel, Mrs. and Mrs. Edw. Boetzer, Fall Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Emanuel of Altoona; Mr. and Mrs. Gust Papowski, Mrs. Roney Young, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Emanuel, Eau Claire; Mrs. and Mrs. August Senske, Mrs. and Mrs. August Bundt, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schadler, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Emanuel, Mrs. and Mrs. Albert Emanuel, Mrs. Phillip Treiber, Mr. and Mrs. D.

48        An attachment to the Welch Family History, "Moses Bates (December 23, 1740-March 31, 1781) - Hannah Norton" is reproduced here. I have not been able to verify the link between William and Hiram, Ann Bates Welch's father. Someone else might want to do that task.
       "Moses Bates, the great-grandfather of Anne Bates, was born in Abington, Massachusetts and died in Cummington, Massachusetts. Private Bates was a "minute man" who served in Capt. Wm. Reed's co., Colonel John Bailey's regiment which marched on the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775 and served with that regiment for eleven days. He later served with Capt. Edward Cobb's company, Col. Edward Mitchell's regiment for five days (March 4-9). On another "alarm," he marches to 'the Farms" at Braintree with Capt. Nathan Snow's Co., commanded by L. Christopher Dyer, Col. Mitchell's regiment, Feu.'s Brigade. Marched to Bristol, RI, Dec. 0, 1776 on an alarm and served sixteen days. [Taken from Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution, Vol. I, p. 776.]
Moses and Hannah Norton Bates were married on November 29, 1761 and had six children: Moses, Jr., William (March 3, 1764-Sept. 4. 1848), Bennett, Nabby, Sarah, and Rachel. William was Anne Bates Grandfather and the father of Hiram Curtiss Bates (Dec. 14, 1799-June 15, 1875), her father. Hiram Bates lived in both Camden and Kipton, Ohio. Anne Bates married Bold Dighton Welch [cf Welch Family History].
       In the 1850 U. S. Federal Census, Anna [Bates] Welch is a 25 year old, white, married female. She is married to Bold Dighton Welch. Anna and Dighton live in Wakeman Township, Huron County, Ohio. She was born in New York State. [BDW 03.]
       In the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, Anna is the wife of B. D. Welch. She is a 34 year old, white female. She was born in New York state. She lives with her husband and four sons (Delos, Carlos, Harvey, and Lewis Marsac) in Wakeman Township, Huron County, Ohio. [BDW 04.]

He is a farmer who was born in New York state of parents who were born in New York state. It is not clear what he is doing in Iowa at this time.
       In the Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Hamilton and Wright Counties, Iowa, [BDW 06], under H. D. Welch, there is a paragraph about Bold Dighton and Anna Welch:...D.B. Welch...was...a well-known pioneer of the county and a native of York state. The mother...was Anna (Bates) Welch, a native of New York State. The family left Huron County (Ohio) in 1854 and came to Linn county, Iowa, where they lived for two years and then returned to Ohio; here they resided until 1863, when they again returned to Iowa and located in Hardin County; later lived in Marshall County, and in 1868 came to Wright County, and settled on section 36, Woolstock township. ...[They] lived here for eighteen months and then returned to Ohio. the mother [Anna] died in Wakeman, Ohio, in 1870. The father now lives [1889] in Beadle county, Dakota.
       In the Welch Family family history, written by either Elsie or Barbara J. Welch, there are a couple of pages on Bold Dighton Welch, May 26, 1991, which are reproduced here. Bold Dighton grew up in Wakeman [Township, Huron County, Ohio] and eventually became a farmer and self-trained veterinarian. He married Anna Bates on November 01, 1847. She attended Oberlin College (1846-1847) and taught him to read and write. Anna Bates was also a descendant of Moses Bates, one of the "minute men" who marched to the aid of Concord in April of 1775. She came from New York. Like many another Victorian, She enjoyed the sentimental, often moralistic, poetry of the day.
       A copy of one favorite was carefully preserved by her husband in his copy of Dr. Chase's Recipes. It was to become a favorite of Elsie Welch Rushia who sang it while working around the house:

In a graveyard lonely, many miles away.
Lies your dear old mother 'neath the cold, cold clay.
Memories of her now returning of her tears and sighs,
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.

Listen to her pleading, "wandering boy come home,
?Lovingly entreating, do not longer roam.
Let thy manhood waken, heaven ward lift thine eyes.
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.

It continues in a similar manner for two more stanzas and choruses.

       They had one girl and six boys: Eliza, Dighton Carlos, Horace, Harvey ("Harvos"), Delos, and Lewis Massoc. A baby boy was still-born on January 15, 1870?

The history of these years is told rather sketchily by D. C. Welch in his "A little History of My Life" which he wrote in 1932. About 1860, Bold Dighton "traded his Ohio home for some land in Hardin County, Iowa near Eldora." Owing to Bold Dighton's ill health, he returned briefly to Ohio in 1866, leaving his family briefly in Marietta, Iowa. They, then, moved back to Ohio. the family later moved to Marshalltown, Iowa where Bold Dighton bought a one-acre lot. D. C. Welch began attending school there. D. C. Welch recalled:
       "My brother and sold garden stuff and we had a two-wheeled cart we hauled all over town. Also, I remember we got the malt from the brewery to feed the milk cow, and I can see the stock crunching down the barley. Of course there was a saloon on every corner." From Marshalltown, the family moved to Wright County, some twenty-five miles between Marshalltown and Clemans Grove. This move was made in a wagon with the cows "following along.
       "We had some frontier experiences on the Wright County farm which father traded his Marshalltown property for at four dollars an acre. I think we killed 28 rattlesnakes the year we moved through, breaking up the prairie. Also, I can see in my imagination a great flock of crows, chickens, ducks, and geese. Plovers, wild pigeons, snipes, and other wild birds. This was about 1867. We lived on the farm until about 1870 when father moved back to Ohio and we as a family followed up. That winter my mother died was the commencement of years of trouble and there has been plenty of it ever since.
       Anna Bates died on January 18, 1870, three days after giving birth to a still-born child.?Sometime later, Bold Dighton began courting other women, bouncing across the miles in a horse-drawn wagon. It was on one such excursion that he was started to find son Horace hiding in the wagon. Unfortunately, he had driven too far to turn back.?Bold Dighton became a self-taught veterinarian.
