| 553 | Flossie Nadine (Cramer) Mowry passed away Saturday, April 16, 2016 at the Sheridan County Health Complex at the age of 93. She was born on September 28, 1922, the last of three children, to Constant “Connie” and Martha (Wallack) Cramer at her parents’ farm home 11 miles south of Jennings, KS. Flossie started school at the Pleasant Plain country school three miles southwest of her childhood home. She rode to school in a horse drawn cart or on horseback with her two brothers. Her class was small allowing the teacher more time to spend with her students and enabling Flossie to pass through three grades in two years. Starting in 5th grade, she attended school in Jennings, graduating in 1939 at the age of 16 as Valedictorian of her class. After high school graduation, Flossie attended Fort Hays State College for two terms earning a Life Time Teaching Certificate. She then taught for two years at the Chicago School and one year at the Pleasant Union School, both country schools located not far from her childhood home. In 1944, she moved to Hoxie and worked as a bookkeeper and cashier for the First National Bank until 1951. On Thanksgiving morning, November 24, 1949, Flossie married Henry Victor Mowry, the love of her life, at the First Presbyterian Church of Hoxie. Four children would later be born to this union. Vic and Flossie made their home on the family farm north of Hoxie where they raised their children. In August of 2009, they moved to Hoxie and celebrated their 60th anniversary in November that same year. Flossie enjoyed her life and all it had to offer. She was a loving wife, mother and grandma. Her family was very important to her. She did extensive research of the family genealogy, making and distributing notebooks to her family of those findings and always kept the records updated. In addition to being the farm bookkeeper, she was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church serving as an Elder and as church treasurer for 21 years. She was a member of the Mary Martha’s Bible study group, taught Sunday school and was Vacation Bible School director for several years. She was also a member of the Parnell Progressive Unit for many years. Flossie served on the Sheridan County Hospital Board for 20 years and was board treasurer for 16 of those years. It was during her time on the board that the expansion of the Sheridan County Long Term Care took place. Flossie was an excellent seamstress having sewn the wedding gowns for all three of her daughters as well as two bridesmaid dresses per daughter. Every time a new member joined her family, whether by marriage or birth, Flossie would make and decorate a red felt Christmas stocking for them. She also sewed quilts and blankets for her grandchildren and crocheted baby blankets for her great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Vic, on April 26, 2010, her parents, infant son and two brothers, Irwin Cramer and Murlin Cramer. She is survived by her three daughters, Melba Witt and husband, Ed, of Norton, Ilene Spillman and husband, Bill, and Joyce Tremblay and husband, Kevin, of Hoxie. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, one niece and one nephew.

| 582 | Friends gave her a surprise (Press-Democrat Special.) Fairmount, Ill., Sept. 2. - One of the most delightful entertainments of the season was the birthday surprise on Mrs. Geo. Hedges last Sunday, at her home northeast of the village. The event was planned and executed by her husband and daughters. While Mrs. Hedges was busily engaged in serving dinner to some friends who had accompanied her home from Sunday school and church, her friends to the number of seventy-five or more slipped into the front rooms of her home and came marching out to the dining room with her mother in the lead, which, by the way, was a great surprise, the latter having come out from Danville. The afternoon was spent in a social and religious way. About 4 o'clock the crowd repaired to the front yard where some fifteen or twenty minutes was devoted to song and prayer, and the breaking of bread, which was presided over by Rev. Scott, of Danville, after which the remainder of the evening was spent in song, and social conversation, and the eating of cream, cake and candy and fruit, and a general good time was enjoyed by all. One singular feature connected with their gathering was that the hostess was surprised on her 18th birthday in 1888, in the same house where she now lives. Mrs. Hedges was the recipient of many beautiful pieces of china. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges. No publishing information available. | Gritton, Cora Belle (I307)

| 584 | From 20th century history of Springfield, and Clark County, Ohio, and representative citizens. Chicago, Illinois, Biographical Publishing Co., 1908. Page 564-564. JOHN A. YEAZEL, who was one of Moorefield's leading citizens for many years, was born on the old Jacob Yeazel farm, in Moorefield Township, October 10, 1837, and died August 3, 1907. He was a son of Jacob and Ellen (Foley) Yeazel. Jacob Yeazel was born November 10, 1809, near Todd's Fork, Clinton County, Ohio, and was a son of Abraham and Mary (Curl) Yeazel. He married Ellen Foley, who was born January 14, 1810, a daughter of John and Jane (Reiser) Foley. The Foleys were very early settlers of Moorefield Township, locating here when the country was a wilderness and Indians were numerous. The paternal grandfather of John A. Yeazel, Abraham Yeazel, was born in Virginia, April 29, 1774, and in October, 1794, was married to Mary Curl, who was born October 30, 1776. It will be seen that this family can be easily traced for several generations, and its members have always been people of high character and useful lives. The late John A. Yeazel followed agri cultural pursuits, a large portion of his life having been spent in Moorefield Township. After his first marriage he settled in Madison County, Ohio, but after the death of his wife, several years later, he sold his farm in Madison County and re- turned to Moorefield Township, where he lived for the remainder of his life with the exception of about four years spent in Harmony Township. There he owned 283 acres. John A. Yeazel was married (first) to Mary A. Baird, who died in Madison County, leaving three children, namely: Sarah, who is the wife of Joseph W. Page ; Walter D., who married Lura Snaufer; and Fannie, who married Henry Otstot. Mr. Yeazel was married (second) to Angeline Hodge, March 14, 1872. Mrs. Yeazel was born and reared in Pleasant Township, Clark County, Ohio, and is a daughter of Samuel E. and Sevina (Spencer) Hodge. Samuel E. Hodge was born in Virginia and was a son of Andrew Hodge, who was the pioneer who came at an early date to Clark County and settled on the farm which has never since been owned by other than a Hodge, it now being the property of Matthew Hodge, the brother of Mrs. Yeazel. When the grandfather came to this section of country and selected the land he wished to enter, he started back to Virginia to bring his money in order to make a payment. He placed the wallet in his saddle-bags, on the back of his trusty horse. When he reached the Ohio River it was in a swollen condition and when Mr. Hodge attempted to swim his horse across, the rapidly flowing current overturned the saddle-bags and the heavy wallet went to the bottom. Many experiences had be- fore this tested the traveler's bravery and ingenuity, and without the loss of a moment he was equal to this call on his powers, and diving to the bottom he se- cured the precious purse which represented, probably, the savings of years. Mr. and Mrs. Yeazel had one child, Claret B., who married Walter Snaufer. Mr. and Mrs. Snaufer have six children, namely : Blanche B., Ruth E., Sevina E., Edith M., Carl D. and Hazel M. Sevina (Spencer) Hodge, the mother of Mrs. Yeazel, was a daughter of Matthew Spencer, who was a native of New York. He came with his family to Clark County before any divisions of land had been made and settled before the building o the old National Turnpike road. Mrs. Hodge remembers it being constructed when she was a girl. | Yeazel, Jacob (I3676)

| 585 | From 20th century history of Springfield, and Clark County, Ohio, and representative citizens. Chicago, Illinois, Biographical Publishing Co., 1908. Page 576-578. JOSEPH MILTON YEAZELL, who is well known throughout Clark County as a prosperous retired citizen, and formerly as an extensive breeder of and dealer in tine sheep and other stock, was born in this county October 5, 1847, son of George and Nancy Ann (Wilkinson) Yeazell. He traces his ancestry in the direct paternal line back to Abraham Yeazell, and then, indirectly, through the Brown and Ball families, to William Ball, of Berks, or Berkshire, England, the name of whose wife is not known, but who died in the year 1480, in the reign of Henry VII., the first of the Tudors. The line from this William Ball to Abraham Yeazell is as follows: Robert Ball, son of William, of Berkham, died in 1543. The name of his wife is not known. He was father of William Ball (wife unknown), who died in 1550. John Ball, son of the second William, died in 1599. He was twice married, first to Alice Haynes, by whom he had four children, and secondly to Agnes Holloway, of which union also there were four children. John Ball, son of John and Agnes (Holloway) Ball, died in 1628. He married Elizabeth Webb, who bore him ten children, among them William, better known as Colonel William Ball, who died in 1680. Colonel William Ball married Hannah Atheral, of which union there were three children, the one to continue this line of descent being William, or Captain William Ball, who married Margaret Doiraman and died in 1699. The next progenitor in the Ball line was William, who died in 1740 and who by wife Mary, had, besides other children, William, who died in 1809. It is in this generation that we find the Ball family intermarrying with the Browns, and the line to the subject of this sketch is now continued through the latter family. It is thus traced: The brothers and sisters of the William Ball last mentioned were: Samuel, Joseph (died 1821), Mary (died 1816, married Thomas Brown) and Ann (married John Gibson). Thomas and Mary (Ball) Brown had a large family, consisting of ten children, and including Sarah (born 1758; died 1828), who married William Curl. The family of William and Sarah (Brown) Curl was also large and included Mary, who married Abraham Yeazell, great grandfather of the subject of this sketch. Abraham Yeazell (or Yeazel, as the name was sometimes spelled) came to this country from Germany and settled at an early date in Moorefield Township, Clark County, Ohio. By his wife Mary, above mentioned, he had thirteen children: Mary Ann, Sarah, George, William, Caroline, David, Jeremiah, Adam, Jacob, Elizabeth, Abraham, Sidney, James and Isaac. George Yeazell, of the above-mentioned family, married Elizabeth Jones, and their children were George, Mary Ann, Jeremiah, John W., Eliza, Caroline M., Isaac, Angeline and Frances M. George Yeazell, son of George and Elizabeth (Jones) Yeazell, and father of J. Milton Yeazell, married Mary Ann Wilkinson, and their family was as follows: Joseph Milton, James W., Retta, Anne Belle, Mary, Ellen, Thomas, Elizabeth, Angle and Mabel Estella. James W., the second child, married Amanda Neer, and he and his wife are the parents of four children, all sons-George, Clayton, Fred and Lawrence, all of whom are living. Retta is the wife of John Conley, and has three children-Blanche, Harry and Robert. Anne Belle married Nathan Baumgartner, and has two children, Agnes and Wilmette, of whom Agnes be- came the wife of Dr. Deman and resides in Mechanicsburg, and Wilmette married M. C. Houston. Mary, fifth child of George and Nancy Ann Yeazell, married Samuel Prugh, who is now deceased. She has one child - Earl. Ellen Yeazell married Jacob Baumgartner and has two children-Alice, who is the wife of Forest Tavemer and Nathan, all living. Thomas Yeazell, of the above- mentioned family, and seventh in order of birth, was killed on the railroad. Elizabeth died at the age of two years. Angie, the ninth child, married Newton Jones and is now deceased. Her children are Walter and Thomas, both of whom are living. Mabel Estella, the tenth child, married Arthur Taverner; she has no children. Joseph Milton Yeazell, whose nativity has been already given, has resided in Clark County all his life, unless we except the period of his service in the Civil War. He enlisted at Columbus, Ohio, September 16, 1864, in the Sixteenth Ohio Light Artillery, and was stationed for a while at New Orleans. On the close of the war he returned to Clark County, and settled on his father's farm, and was for some years engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1874 he entered into mercantile business at Catawba Station, Champaign County, Ohio. He continued thus occupied, however, but for a short time. On February 15, 1875, he married, and in the same year bought a farm of 345 acres in Pleasant Township. Here he went into the business of raising grain and live stock, giving special attention to the breeding of sheep. It was also his practice to buy trainloads of sheep in Montana, ship them to his farm and here fatten them for the Buffalo market, sell- ing them there at a good profit. Though now retired from active pursuits, he frequently contributes valuable articles to agricultural papers, among them the American Agriculturist, the Ohio Farmer, the Pittsburg Stockman, the Breeders' Gazette and the Chicago Drovers Journal. He is regarded as an authority of stock matters, especially on sheep, and has received many offers to become a salesman at the Buffalo and Chicago sheep markets, but prefers to remain on his farm. He has served the town as trustee, being elected on the Republican ticket, and held that office for six years. A member of the Gr. A. R., he has served as commander of N. M. McConkey Post No. 391, was adjutant for ten years and was a member of General Townsend's staff, with the rank of major, for two terms. He is a prominent member of the Catawba Methodist Episcopal Church, which he has served ten years as trustee, having also been school director a number of times. Mr. Yeazell has had the misfortune to lose his wife, who passed to the higher life May 19, 1900, after a happy married life of twenty-five years. She was just two years his senior. She had borne him four children, whose record, in brief, is as follows : Leon Howard married Josephine Campbell, daughter of the Rev. Samuel Campbell, and' they reside in Springfield, this county. Florence is the wife of Herbert Loveless, of this township, and has one child-Phelma. Gwendoline, who is now deceased, was the wife of Van C. Tullis, of Champaign County, Ohio. Wendell, born in 1885, died in Los Angeles, Cal., in April, 1906, at the early age of twenty-one years. | Yeazel, Abraham (I3667)

| 590 | From Ear to Ear. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. Danville, Ill., September 19. - About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit. This morning Clem met William Watson, one of Gritton's witnesses in a suit which terminated unfavorably to Clem, and they engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, when Gritton, who was sowing wheat in a field near by, came over to help Watson. Clem at once made for him with the result as stated above. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Missouri. Friday, 20 September 1878, page 3. | Gritton, Milo B. (I427)

| 593 | From Find a Grave: Among the business interests which contribute to the prosperity and commercial activity in New Moorefield is that conducted by Mr Yeazell, dealer in flour, grain, coal and feed. He has labored earnestly to secure a good trade and his business methods have ever been such as would bear the closest investigation and scrutiny for he has strict regard for commercial ethics. He was born in the township of Moorefield October 14, 1836, and is a son of George and Elizabeth (Jones) Yeazell. Upon the home farm his boyhood days here passed in the usual manner of lads of the period and in the district schools he mastered the branches of learning usually taught in such institutions. He had passed his twenty-first birthday when he started out in life upon his own account, by operating rented land. He had been married on the l0th of November 1857 in Pleasant township, Clark county, to Miss Sarah T Ferguson. a daughter of Joseph and Jane (Neer) Ferguson, who lived in Pleasant township until 1890. In 1870 Mr Yeazell purchased land becoming a the owner of a farm of one hundred and fifty acres in Pleasant township and there he continued to live until 1890, during which time he erected two barns upon his place and remodeled the house. He still owns the farm, which is a good one of the county. In the year mentioned, he purchased the mill prroperty at New Moorefield. It was then equipped with the old fashioned burrs but he at once put in a roller process and has developed a paving business. In 1901 he further remodeled the plant, putting in a sifter system in place of the reel system. The mill is operated by water power and has a capacity of fifty barrels per day. Mr Yeazell has a large sale for the Royal flower which he manufactures and he also deals in grain, coal and feed having a liberal patronage. Unto our subject and his wife have been born four children, but two of the number died in infancy. Charles born in September, 1858, passed away, in September, 1893. He was married in Missouri to Miss Emma Miller studied law in Springfield and was achy fitted to the bar. He was so ambitious that while pursuing his studies he did not take the needed time for rest and recreation, his health became impaired and he lived but a few months after he became a practicing lawyer. He left two children, Leona and Edwin, the latter being now a partner with his uncle at Columbia, Missouri in a shoe store there. Lena G born June 16, 1875, is at home with her parents. Mr Yeazell cast his first presidential vote in 1860 for Bell. He had been reared in the Whig faith and after his first vote was cast he became a Republican and has since voted with the party. For nine years he has filled the office of justice of the peace discharging his duties with fairness promptness and impartiality. Although he has tried many cases none have ever been appealed. He has been a trustee of Pleasant township for a few years, but is not a politician in the sense of office seeking, his business claiming the greater part of his time. Formerly he was connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Catawba. It will be interesting in this connection to note something of the family history of Mr Yeazell. His father was George Yeazell, who was born in Virginia and was fourteen years of age when in 1811 he came to Ohio with his parents Abraham and Rachel (Curl) Yeazell, who were also natives of the Old Dominion. The grandfather became the owner of a large tract of land and died in this state at the age of fifty-five years. George Yeazell also had extensive realty holdings comprising four hundred acres of valuable land. He died at the age of sixty-eight years, respected by all who knew him because his life had been an honorable and upright one. He left nine children, of whom our subject was the fifth in order of 'birth, while five are still living. George, who was a farmer and died in Catawba left eight children. Mary Ann was married and is now deceased. Jeremiah died in Harmony township leaving one child. Eliza became the wife of Dr Grower and died in Moorefield township, leaving one. John W was the next of the family. Isaac is a carpenter living in Springfield and has three children, Caroline is the widow of Martin Mahar, by whom she had five children, and her home is in Catawba. Angeline is the wife of John Waltman by whom she has two children, their home being Pleasant township. Francis M lives in Springfield and has five children. Jeremiah was a lieutenant in the Seventeenth Ohio Volunteer Battery and losing his health in the service was therefore obliged to resign. Francis M served as a private of the Sixteenth Ohio Battery. | Yeazel, John Will (I3704)

Gritton came here from Kentucky in 1840, and bought land of the estate of Abram Rees. Mr. Rees owned a farm on section 23, and while at work building a mill at Denmark, died. Mr. Gritton had a family of five children, only three of whom survive. One was killed a year since by Mr. Clem, in a difficulty growing out of the lease of a piece of land. One of Mr. Gritton's first acts, after coming on to his farm, was the selection and planting of an excellent orchard, which, owing to his good judgement and care, was for a long time a source of increased revenue. Gritton's orchard was known far and near as one of the best in this neck of woods. He never has been a member of any church, but his conversation shows that he has a true appreciation of the results of a sincere religious life in a community like this. The now aged couple are saddened in their last days by the tragedy which took the life of a dear son. (LKH Note: The son who was killed was Milo B. Gritton whose widow, Ellen Gerrard, later married Samuel Shumate.) | Gritton, John R. (I422)
