| 207 | findagrave note from Contributor: DogMama08 (47394092) I found that the California Death Index on Ancestry shows two records for Margaret, one with the last name Schafer and the other with her married name, Decious. She married Donald O. Decious on 4 Oct 1950 in Contra Costa County, California. I found a short newspaper article in The Lima News (Lima OH), dated 08 May 1964, that gave her last name as Decious and mentioned her survivors, including her daughter Machel. There was no mention of her husband. Since she was buried under her maiden name, she was probably divorced. | Schafer, Margaret Ellen (I244)

| 219 | Frederick John Krumm was born on May 12, 1918 in Columbus, OH to Thomas and Ida Krumm. He graduated in 1935 from Macomber Vocational High School. He first met his future wife Dorothy Neal in grade school where he was George and she was Martha Washington in a school play. They married in 1940 and were married for over 65 years. For over 102 years, life was an adventure for Fred. He lived life fiercely independent. He did all he could to remain active and healthy. At 18 he became a vegetarian on a bet which became his lifestyle. Up to this year he was bike riding 5-8 miles a day and walking at the Franklin Park Mall in the winter. He loved to travel and visited many countries. Fred and Dorothy also loved camping and toured all over the United States, hiking in many national parks, photographing every flower, bush, tree, and waterfall they came across exhibiting his love of photography. He spent winters in Texas for many years where he would organize 30 mile plus bike rides. Fred had a very inquisitive mind and a desire for learning. He could fix most things, and had a habit of picking up discarded and broken items to bring home to repair. If he couldn’t find the right part, he would fabricate it. He was a tool and die maker and in 1950 started an injection molding business called the XM Company. All his children at some point worked at the business. It is still in operation day. When his wife developed Alzheimers Disease he became actively involved the The Alzheimers Association and organized annual walks in her honor. Fred was a 70 year active member of the Lambertville IOOF Lodge and it was a very important part of his life. He participated and organized many fund raisers and events from picking up litter on highways, to the chili cook off when he always made his vegan chili. Fred was a patriarch of a large family. He looked forward to Sunday afternoons when we would gather at his home for a visit, along with his Wednesday lunches with his Son- in- law Ron and his best friend Bert Rucki. His life was ended on October 27, 2020 after a short illness from Covid-19. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, sister and infant daughter Barbara Ann.

| 223 | Funeral in Gladstone Funeral services over the body of Ashley Jackson, a pioneer employee of the Northwestern Cooperage & Lumber company, who passed away at St. Paul hospital on Monday, were conducted yesterday afternoon at the family home at Gladstone. Last night accompanied by members of the family, the body was taken to St. Paul, where it will be cremated according to the wishes of Mr. Jackson, of the life of Mr. Jackson the Gladstone Reporter says: Ashley Jackson was born in Grelton, Ohio, fifty nine years ago, while he attended school in his early youth he never received what might be called a good education, yet in spite of this the deceased was one of the most highly educated and best read men in our city. From his boyhood days to the day that sickness forced him to his bed he was a constant reader and in this way he educated himself in the ways of the world and mankind. He spent about six years in the state of Kansas where he was engaged in the erection of windmills during the time that they were in big demand. He returned to his native town and state in the year of 1883 and was married to Miss Mary Watson, of this union one son, Glenn W. Jackson was born and survives his father. In the year of 1885 death claimed Mrs. Jackson, and in the year of 1890 Mr. Jackson took Miss Margaret Schaeffer of Continental, Ohio, as his second wife, of this union one child, Miss Edith Jackson was born and survives her father. During the late eighties and early nineties, Mr. Jackson was foreman of various Cooperage plants for the Buckeye company in Ohio. In the year of 1894 he came first to Gladstone and at that time he came to look land, which was purchased by the Buckeye company. He again returned to Ohio and shortly after came back to Gladstone of the company as woods superintendent, one of the most important positions that a man could hold with this large concern. As those who knew and with whom he toiled have lost a valuable servant. The deceased has always been an active and energetic man, both mentally and physically, giving liberally of his time and labor to those who needed him. In religion he early developed the habit of weighing things in the balance of reason, discarding that which to him did not harmonize with the Creator’s plans as he saw God’s laws in the big book of nature. He believed in doing good for the sake of humanity and not in the fear of the anger and vengeance of a higher power. Hell to him, is what men make for themselves here on earth, and not a place of divine origin for future punishment. To the future existence, he felt that each will be rewarded according to the good deeds done in life. That we come into this life not of our own accord, and that we go not out of our own free will, but subject to the Supreme Power over all, and to that Power he was willing to trust his fate when his time should come to meet the mystery of death. His convictions whether right or wrong were honest and sincere resulting from much careful study and analysis on his part, and with which he calmly met the fate of all flesh. The deceased is survived by the wife, one son, Glen W. Jackson, one daughter, Miss Edith Jackson, two brothers, Willis Jackson of Grelton, Ohio, and L.A. Jackson of Cornelius, Ore., two sisters, Mrs. G. J. Cowan of Schenectady, N.Y., and Mrs. D. Battenfield of Delaware, Ohio. Escanaba Morning Press, Escanaba, Michigan.

| 227 | Gen. T.A. Morris Is Dead In California Pioneer and distinguished citizen of this city His long and active life News has been received of the death, yesterday, of Gen. Thomas Armstrong Morris, in a dispatch from the general’s daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Morris Chambers, to Admiral George Brown. He died at his daughter’s home at San Diego, Cal., whither he had gone to spend in restful quiet the last days of a life that had been prolonged far beyond four-score years. He was born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, December 26, 1811. He was ten years old when he removed with his father, Morris Morris, to Indianapolis. This journey was by horses and wagon through trackless forests, and he was the last of the pioneers. In 1822 he began to learn the printer’s trade on a paper called the Western Censor and Emigrant’s Guide. This paper later came to be the Indianapolis Journal. After four years at the printer’s trade, being then nineteen years old, he was appointed a cadet of West Point. He was graduated in 1834, standing fourth in a class of thirty-six, in which for a time the erratic poet Edgar Allen Poe, was a member. He was then brevetted a second lieutenant of the First Artillery in the regular army. Work as an Engineer After a year’s service at Fortress Monroe, Va., and in Florida, he was sent by the War Department to assist Major Monroe, of the engineer corps, in constructing the National road in Indiana and Illinois. After one year of this work he resigned from the United States services. He then took charge of the construction of the Central canal. From 1841 to 1847 he was chief engineer of the Madison & Indianapolis railroad; from 1847 to 1852 of the Vandalia between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, and of the Bee line, now the Big Four, between Indianapolis and Bellefontaine. From 1852 to 1954 he was chief engineer of the Indianapolis & Cincinnati road. From 1854 to 1857 he was president of the last-named road; from 1857 to 1859 was president of the Indianapolis & Bellefontaine road, and from 1959 to 1861 chief engineer of the Indianapolis & Cincinnati road. When the civil war broke out he commanded the first brigade of troops that went from Indiana, and after conducting the three months’ campaign in West Virginia with marked ability, was mustered out of service July 27, 1861. He had received the assurance that he would be made a major-general, but this appointment which was withheld fourteen months, he declined. State House Commissioner He returned to his business of railroad construction and management, in which he continued until near 1877 when he was appointed one of the commissioners for the building of the present State House. Nearly half a century before his father had held a like position for the building of the first State House erected in Indianapolis. After the completion of the State House, in 1888, he became president of the Indianapolis Water Company, a position he held at his death. He recently resigned his position as life trustee of the Consumers’ Gas Trust Company. It has been many times remarked that no man in Indiana has had a life of so long continued activity and that it had fallen to his lot to be the first in more enterprises of different kinds, and all of public importance, than usually falls to the lot of any one person. His knowledge as an engineer, his thorough mastery of any subject that engaged his mind made him specially valuable as the president of the board of commissioners in the construction of the State Capitol. All these commissioners deserved and received praise, but to the domination of General Morris is due the result, a State House built in accordance with all the requirements of the board, and within the appropriation made by the State. Army Promotion Promise Unkept It was always felt that General Morris had been ill-used, that the promotion he deserved had been delayed until he could not in justice to himself accept, and that his services during the years of the civil war following the three months’ campaign had been lost to the country through promotions of those who were less able and less deserving, but who made themselves felt at court. On this subject Morris Ross of The News, nephew of General Morris, said; “On Sunday, May 1, 1898, Uncle Thomas said to me, in speaking of the war, that the reasons he had been silent were many. He had fought the West Virginia campaign, had met an army the size of his own, had broken it up and scattered it utterly in three months, and would have done it in less time if McClellan had let him. The soldiers who were with him and the officers thought he had made a success. He himself thought he had. In view of this an appointment was promised him. “He spent an evening with Mr. Lincoln, who promised him an appointment. He went home and waited a year, and then an appointment of the grade he had give up in the three months’ service, a brigadier-generalship, was tendered him. This he felt, he could not accept. A long time after that a major-generalship was tendered him, but it was a junior commission and he had lost his chance during the time he had been waiting. He felt that it was not meant he should accept either one. Reason for Silence. During all this time he never opened his mouth to any one: never asked my one to get him an appointment. He carried himself thus because he wanted to feel that it it was meant he should go into the army it would come in such a way as to demonstrate itself. His wife was sorely afflicted; his children were young; his father and mother, who lived with him, were old; much was depending on him in life; he felt that God had meant him to recognize his obligations in life, and he did not know whether that same power meant he should serve the country first or the family in which he found himself. “And so he allowed himself to drift in the hope that they would assert themselves in such a way as to make his duty clear. For this reason he made no effort, feeling that God would guide matters so as to make his duty plain. He believes influences at Washington and here worked against him, but he did not assert himself or try to combat them for the reasons named.” General Morris was married in 1844 to Miss Rachel Irwin, of Madison, who died several years ago. Soon after their marriage he built the old-fashioned brick house which now fronts in New Jersey street, near Twelfth street, but which, until a few years ago, stood near the center of twenty acres of farm and garden, orchard, vineyard and forest, around which on every side the city had grown. The general had held the property together until after the death of his wife, when it was subdivided and is now covered by beautiful homes. The First Friends’ church stands on the western edge of this property in North Alabama street. Aged Hunter and Fisherman. General Morris even after he had passed his eighty-fifth year continued to hunt and fish. He was a thorough sportsman, his knowledge of woodcraft having been received when Indiana was covered with thick forests, and the red men were yet in the woods, and frequent visitors to the little town of Indianapolis. He was the oldest member of the Second Presbyterian church of this city, he the late Simon Yandes and W.H. Hubbard having been among the near friends of Henry ward Beecher when he preached in this city. It was during Mr. Beecher’s ministry here that General Morris became a member of the Second Presbyterian church. He leaves three children, Thomas O. Morris, who has recently gone to Colorado to do constructive engineering for a railroad; Mrs. Eleanor Morris Chambers, of San Diego, Cal., and Milton A. Morris, of this city. The burial will be in the family lot at Crown Hill cemetery. The Indianapolis News, Indianapolis, Indiana. Thursday, 24 March 1904. | Morris, Thomas Armstrong (I173)

| 230 | George F. Hempleman George F. Hempleman, son of George Hempleman the Second and Sarah Bilderback Hempleman, was born August 13, 1827, on the old Hempleman homestead west of South Charleston, Ohio, (Clarke County). Being born of that good old German stock, learned to hard work on the farm, and got a training which brought out those manly qualities in after life. He married Margaret Hill, December 19, 1850. She was born September 16, 1829. George Hempleman bought and settled on a part of the old homestead and there lived until he died, June 14, 1902. He was a staunch member of the Presbyterian church and always an active worker. It can be said of George Hempleman that he was one of God’s noble men, loved by every one that knew him, and to know him was to love and respect him, for his just and manly qualities. He was always ready to help a friend, and to lend a helping hand to anyone in distress, being a true and loyal Mason. He was a good and loving husband, a loving father, whose greatest aim was to lead his children aright. He once said to the writer, if he could live to see his children be womanly women, which is the highest type of woman, his greatest work would be done. It can be said, he did. Margaret Hill Hempleman, his wife, who we are proud to say is yet living in Springfield, Ohio, belonged to the good old family of Hills; and to know the Hills was to know one of the best families of Clarke County, Ohio. She was a grand and patient wife, a kind and loving mother, and to know and meet her was always a pleasure, for she always carried one of those sweet smiles on her face, which seems to enter one’s soul. Kind to every one; though not of the most rugged type, no task ever seemed to be too hard for her, and it is the prayers of those who know her, that she may be spared many years yet with us all, for all love, as we say, Aunt Margaret. To them were born six children, Robert G., Margaretta, Sarah, Della, Anna and Effie. Robert died as an infant. | Hempleman, George F. (I406)
