| 7553 | Indianapolis Star---June 18, 1908 THE SUICIDE OF FRANK HEDGES CORONER SAYS MAN'S DEATH WAS CAUSED BY POISON Frank Hedges, who failed to kill self once, may have made a second trail. Frank Hedges, age 39, died yesterday afternoon at the home of his mother at 833 Washington Avenue. Death may have been due to a second dose of poison, taken after a physician had left him early Wed. morning, believing him out of danger from the effects of morphine taken Tuesday night. Dr. Samuel McCaughey, deputy coroner, who investigated the case, states that death was due to poison. Hedges first gave evidence of his intentions to kill himself on going to his mother's house, Tuesday night. He told his Mother that he wanted to die there. The words were not taken seriously by him until later when she found him in the rear of the dwelling unconscious. She sent for a physician and Dr. William Dow of Boggs Dispensary responded. Dr. Dow worked with the man during the entire night and believed him out of danger early Wednesday morning. Hedges' body was taken to Reynolds Undertaking rooms on West Maryland Street, where an autopsy was held last night. Today the contents of his stomach will be analyzed by Dr. McCaughey. Hedges was married and leaves a widow and a small child. | Hedges, Franklin Marion (I4643)

| 7564 | Institute Search for Plane Pilot Blood-Stained Suit of Flier Lends Mystery to Disappearance. Brookfield, Mo. (AP) Reports that a young pilot wearing a blood-stained flying suit landed a plane near Nelsonville, in northeast Missouri, intensified a search today for flying instructor Carl Bivens, who disappeared from here yesterday in a ship carrying an unidentified passenger. Sheriff W.J. Schneider of Marion county said a plane believed the one used by Bivens landed near Nelsonville about desk last night and took off again early this morning. Uniform Blood-Spattered Schneider said the young pilot, about 28 years old, stayed overnight at the farm home of Gilbert Spratt. He was wearing a “blood-spattered” white uniform the sheriff quoted members of the Spratt family as saying. The flyer explained the stains by saying the “flew too high and had a nose bleed.” Before leaving this morning, he borrowed a pair of blue overalls from one of the Spratt boys. He carried the bloodied uniform away with him. Saw Name on Shirt Although Spratt did not inspect the plane closely, she said he saw only one man. The pilot said he planned to fly to LaBelle, in adjoining Lewis county, and then probably to Quincy, Ill. He gave his name as Charles Jackson, but members of the Spratt family said the name “Larry” was on his shirt. Residents of LaBelle reported a small ship was sighted over the city this morning but it did not land. The small yellow plane bore the number NC-24796, the same number of the ship in which Bivens took the strange up for a flying lesson. Several airplanes joined in the extensive search this afternoon, scouting possible landing fields in northeastern Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. Seek Indiana Man Meantime, the state highway patrol sough to learn the whereabouts of Earnest Pletch, also known as Larry Pletch, of Bowling Green, Ind., whose name was on a driver’s license found in the automobile left at the flying field here by Biven’s passenger. The machine bore a license issued to Pauline Pletch of Frankfort, Ind., who Indiana police said they believed was his sister. Capt. W.J. Ramsey of the highway patrol said the car contained a shotgun, cartridges for a .32-caliber pistol and 12 empty gasoline cans. Farmer Spratt reported the young man who stayed at his house carried “some kind of a revolver.” The Maryville Daily Forum, Maryville, Missouri.

| 7582 | Isaac Cornelish: Swits. Two sons of Cornells Claese Swits of New Amsterdam, settled in Schenectady in 1663, to wit, Claas and Isaac. Claas Cornelise Swits was hired Jan. 13, 1663, by Willem Teller to work on his farm No. 5 as bouwknecht. Adjoining to this bouwery on the northeast side, was bouwery No. 2, owned by Philip Hendrickse Brouwer. In September, 1663, Claas was plowing his master's land, when Brouwer came along with his gun loaded with shot to shoot ducks, and forbade his ploughing there, ordering him off as he had repeatedly done before. Thereupon they had some words and finally Brouwer threatened if he did not leave the land, he would shoot him; which he did, and Swits receiving the shot, died about three or four hours later. It was claimed by Brouwer that the injury was greater than he intended, and Swits himself before he died and later all his near relatives, absolved him from the legal consequences of his rash act, as appears by a formal release over their hands and seals executed March 1, IQQ^, and afterwards confirmed by Governor Nichols.* It would seem that the cause of this sad accident was a disputed line between the two farms. Isaac Cornelise Swits alias Kleyn Isaack, was born in New Amsterdam in 1642, and came to Schenectady in 1663 with his brother Claas. The year following, in company with Claas Frederickse Van Petten, he hired of Willem Teller a " bouwerye gelegen op schauechtede bestaende in uoonhugs, " schner, bergh en bouwlandt in twee parcelles genomeneert van den lantmeter, " No. 5, &c." He married Susanna, daughter of Symon Groot and had nine children, eight of whom were living in 1*701 when he made his will. His home lot in the village was on the west side of Washington street opposite the west end of State street, extending to the Binrie kil and southwesterly towards Mill creek. In 1690 when the village was burned, he and his eldest son Cornells were carried captive to Canada, but returned the following summer.§ During his absence the Governor ordered his home lot in the village to be taken for the site of a new fort. [Probably one angle of stockade.] He repeatedly petitioned | the Governor and Council for remuneration in money (£30) or land, and finally on the 16 April, 1707, was allowed the privilege of receiving from the Indian proprietors a deed for 1,000 acres of land lying along the south side of the Mohawk river, extending from the Aal plaats to Rosendaal, for which a patent was granted Oct. 2, 1708, under the following description, " a tract of woodland on the south side " of Canastegione [Mohawk] river, bounded west by the bounds of the " woodland of the town of Schenectady, east by the bounds of Canastegione " aforesaid, containing 1000 acres from said river southward between the "" bounds aforesaid." Isaac Swits also had a parcel of woodland south-east of the vill age, bounded south-west by State street from the Coehorne creek to the easterly side of Nott Terrace, northerly and easterly by the Coehorn kil nearly, and south-easterly by the south-easterly side of Nott Terrace nearly. Portions of this large parcel of land remained in the family until the present generation, when it was divided into house lots and sold. When Juffrouid's land came into market, after the death of the widow of Ai-ent Van Curler, Isaac Swits purchased a portion thereof, commencing on the Binne kil a little to the south-east of the late John Myer's farm house on the flats, and extending thence southerly. In 1702 he purchased of Evert Bancker of Albany, the foremost bouwery No. 6 on the Great Flat, for £183-12; a portion of this farm remained in the family nearly 100 years.

| 7583 | Isaac De Forest He was born July 10, 1616, at Leyden, Holland, and died July 25, 1674, at New York City. He married, June 9, 1641, at New Amsterdam, N.Y., Sarah de Trieux, born in France, daughter of Philipe and Susanna (du Chesne) du Trieux. He was 21 years of age when he came to America with his brother, Henry, arriving at New Amsterdam on Mar. 4, 1637. Not long after his arrival, he received a grant of 100 acres, nearly a mile in length, extending from Harlem Green east to the Harlem River at about 1st avenue and 126th St. The stipulation in all these grants was that they should be improved and cultivated within two years and after ten years of cultivation one-tenth of the crops should be paid to the officials. At first he lived with his sister and probably raised tobacco on his farm, but after his marriage, which took place in the “Church in the Fort”, where the record reads, “Isaac de Foreest, young man of Leyden, and Sara du Treux, young girl of New Netherland”, he went to live on his grant. His house was 30 ft. by 18 ft. with two 4-light windows, two 3-light windows, four beams with brackets and two free beams. It was to be “built tight all round to keep out water and snow, with a partition inside”, as one part was used as a dwelling and the other as a barn; the kitchen was in a separate building 20 ft. by 16 ft. having an English chimney. The tobacco house was 60 ft. long. The total cost was 300 Carolus guilders. His stock consisted of one-half of a bull calf and one-half of two young kids. In 1643 he decided to leave the farm and so contracted with John Denton to cultivate it on shares, but the lease was can¬ celled on account of the trouble with the Indians and the property was sold in 1650. Isaac with his family lived on Winckel St. until in 1653 he purchased a house on what was later Brouwer St., where he lived until his death. In 1655, he owned a slave and in 1664, he and his partner were active bidders at a slave auction. He was a very active business man, a “Free Merchant” whose dealings were widely and wisely diversified, trading in tobacco, furs, lands, horses, and engaging in the brewing business for a short time. He secured possession of the old church building, remodelled it, and was granted, by the council, the Church lane adjoining. He was one of fifty-six of the Commonality who were summoned in 1643 to elect five or six to aid the government, which resulted in the selection of a popular board of “eight men”, which in a few years later became the “Nine men”. In 1652, he became one of these important citizens. He was Selectman for several years and a witness at the conference between Stuyvesant and the Indians, on the Delaware River. In 1652, he served as inspector of tobacco; in 1655/6, as farmer of the revenues of the weigh house; in 1660, as farmer of the revenue of the tavern excise. He was also one of the orphan masters, whose duty it was to rescue captive children and care for those children whose parents had been made captive or killed — a provision which grew out of the Indian hostilities. He was one who volunteered to subscribe for the strengthening of the outer defences of the city, was among the twenty-one who submitted to be taxed for the repairs of the city, and in 1655, with nine others, he offered to pave Brouwer St., the first in the city to be paved. On Apr. 26, 1657, he petitioned for the privilege of the Great Burgher Right, giving as his reason that he had been in the country over twenty years, had built considerably in the city, and performed many services. The petition was not granted at that time, but four days later he was made “Small Burgher”, and on Jan. 28, 1658, he was one of six to be added to the Great Burghers; five days later he was elected “Schepen”. In 1664, when Isaac De Forest was returning to New York after a trading voyage, he was surprised to discover that the English had appeared before the city. He was taken prisoner and provided with exaggerated information as to the strength of the English forces, and then allowed to go on his way. On account of his giving this information to the authorities in the city, it was decided to capitulate. The English took possession, changed the name from New Amsterdam to New York, and quartered the troops on the town. Isaac took the oath of allegiance as did most of his friends as well as his family and he lived to see the Dutch regain the town. In June, 1672, he and his wife drew up a joint will, in which they mention their children Susannah, Johannes, Philip, Isaac, Hendricus, Maria, David, “and the children which in future by Gods blessing may come. The purpose of the joint will was to provide that the one who should outlive the other might have all the property in trust for the children. It will be seen by the above that he had been successful in his material interests. In 1664 he was spoken of as one of the "most affluent inhabitants of the city". At one time he was assessed 100 florins "for defence of the city" and no one was assessed more than 200 florins. His estate was appraised at 1500 guilders, or abut $600, but the estate of his widow was estimated to be 12,000 guilders, or $4800; one being probably, for some reason, appraised at a low valuation. The Produce Exchange on Stone St. now covers the site of his house and garden. He died between July 26, 1674, and Sept. 26, 1674, when Sarah is spoken of as a widow. He was probably buried in the "old Grave Yard" of the Dutch Church.

William Brouwer was in Beverwyck in 1657, and was buried there August 3, 1668. Isaac Truax was the progenitor of the Schenectady branch of the Truax family. He settled on the “second flat" of the Mohawk River as early as 1670. The following extract from the minutes of the Court of Schenectady: “Jacobus Peeck, (his cousin, no.18 of this record) (H.S.F.R.) and Isaac de Treux humbly request, that their Worships will recommend them to his Honor the Governor General, for the second flat on this side of “the Mohawk River, provided they pay the proper proportion of the amount advanced for the purchase of all the lands. Their Worship promise to recommend the case of the petitioners to his honor, the General. By order of the Court, Ludovicus Cobes, Secr. Below stood: "They shall have preference, when it is thought advisable to occupy the land. Done in New York, 0ct. 29, 1677. Signed E. Andros.” On Feb. 8, 1690, occurred the massacre by the French and Indians at Schenectady. Isaac Truax was among those who escaped for in the "List of the Goods sent from New York and received from Mons. Jans Hendricksen Brujn and Johannes Proofost to be distributed among the Refugees of Schoonechtede” we find that "Isack de Tourex" received 8 ells of pennestout, and “Isack Teuerx" 40 ells of linen. Isaac Truax died before 1705, for in that year his widow, Maria, obtained permission from the trustees of Schenectady to sell 8 morger of land from the "second flat". | du Trieux, Isaac Phillipe (I5805)

| 7599 | It is with a sad heart that our family is announcing to the public the passing of a truly blessed soul. Joyce Blaylock Maness, known mostly as Nana, has gone to finally meet her Lord and Savior, whom she devoted her life to. She was born September 15 ,1930 and passed peacefully August 9th, 2021. She was preceded in death by her husband, J. T Maness; her parents, Hardy and Myrtle Blaylock; her two sons, Roy and James Maness. Joyce was fortunate to be a witness, student and teacher of life for 90 years. Nana was born in Grenada, MS to Myrtle Minnie and Hardy Blaylock. She was the 6th of ten children. She was married to J.T. Maness for 64 years. She is survived by two of her sisters, Pearl Rose Sparks and Emeline Payne; her 6 grandchildren, Kimberly Lince, Rory Maness, Tim Maness, Cortney Maness, Tiffany Kee and Patrick Maness and 8 great grandchildren. Nana was a devout Christian with long ties to Berclair Baptist Church. She very much enjoyed singing in the church choir and anywhere she felt fitting to sing a gospel or a hymn (usually while crocheting or sewing). She loved to be able to mend and fix things with her sewing needle or machine because she loved the opportunity to speak to friends and family while mending a button, fixing a hem or preparing a quilt design. She would make doll clothes and give them away to the little girls in her neighborhood just to see them smile. She felt that every little girls doll should have the latest fashion. Nana was an avid reader of everything. Even at the young age of 90 she possessed a thirst for knowledge. She always had an interesting tidbit of trivia to mention about any topic. She was a caring and loving individual like no other and was no doubt greeted into heaven with open arms and warming smiles from her passed friends and family wanting to see her again. She will be missed intensely and never forgotten by the ones whose lives she forever changed. The world needs more Nanas. Joyce's Celebration of Life ceremony begins Friday, August 13, 2021 with a visitation from 1:00pm until 2:00pm and services following at Family Funeral Care, 4925 Summer Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38122. The interment will be held at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, 3700 North Germantown Parkway, Bartlett, Tennessee 38133. The family request everyone wear mask while in the building.

| 7600 | It was about this time that Lubbertsen, doubtless with the view of establishing himself upon his Long Island farm,3 sold his house in the Smits Vly to Jan Peeck, an eccentric character, part Indian trader, part broker between the English and Dutch merchants, and part general speculator.1 His wife, Maria or Mary, managed his property, and sometimes disposed of it in his long absences. She seems also to have occasionally accompanied him on his trading expeditions, where apparently she acquired considerable acquaintance with the Indians, which she turned to advantage by selling them liquor, to the great indignation of the authorities at New Amsterdam, who, in 1664, fined her 500 guilders, and banished her from Manhattan Island for this offence, “ for which,” as they say, “ she has long been famous.” She is said, at this time, to have retired to the new settlement of Schenectady for a short period; but the Dutch regime coming to an end not long after her banishment, she soon returned to New York, and was the owner of a house on Hoogh Straet (or Duke’s Street, as the English began to call it), near the Town Hall, having in the mean time sold the establishment in the Smits Vly. The easternmost half of his land in the Smits Vly had been sold by Frederik Lubbertsen, in 1652, to one Albert Cornelissen ; it does not appear to have been built upon at the time of our survey, and in 1656 most of it came into the possession of Jan Peeck, still apparently unbuilt upon. After Peeck had sold to Cornells Clopper, in the year 1660, the Lubbertsen house, at the corner of Maiden Lane, which has just been referred to, he seems to have built a house upon the plot which he had acquired from Albert Cornelissen, and this remained in possession of him and of his wife for many years. This house, which must have occupied the site, or a part of the site of the present building No. 207 Pearl Street, was just about sufficiently removed from the observation of the town authorities to afford a convenient drinking house for Indian visitors to New Amsterdam, and it is supposed to have been the seat of the illicit liquor traffic for which Mary Peeck was banished from Manhattan Island in 1664. It was this Jan Peeck who, by reason of his making use, as a trading post for traffic with the Indians, of the sheltered haven afforded by the creek emptying into the Hudson River just south of the mountains of the Highlands (even wintering there with his sloop), gave the stream the name of Jan Peeck’s Kill, which name is preserved in that of the adjacent village of Peekskill in Westchester County. [Maria] is thought to have been the person occasionally spoken of in the records about this time as “ Long Mary,” though this is not accurately known. She was either the daughter or sister of Philip du Trieux (or De Truy, as the Dutch called him). After some vicissitudes in her life, she is supposed to have married Cornelis Volckersen, one of the oldest settlers, and after his death, in 1650, she married Jan Peeck.
