Message Board Post:
I am stumped. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of a work camp for prisoners in the
Muskingum/Coshocton County area of Ohio called "London Farm"?
The reason I ask...
I am looking for my ancestor Mark Emanuel Chaney. The son of Joseph Martin Chaney
(1841-1919) and Malissa Ellen Billman(1852-1937), he was born 27 Mar 1887 in Pike Twp.,
Coshocton Co., Ohio.
According to his WWI Draft Registration Card he was living in Dresden, Muskingum, Ohio in
1917 and working as a farmer.
In Feb 1918 his name appears in the Coshocton Tribune as having a draft classification of
1-A.
However, I have a document (attached to this message) that has his mug shots on one side
of a card and his description and notice that he commited larceny in Muskingum county and
was sentenced to do time at "London Farms" beginning 28 Oct 1918. It then
continues to say that he escaped "London Farm" on 31 Aug 1919 and offers a $25
reward for his capture.
After that he disappears (understandably I guess), until, in 1972, I find notices in the
Coshocton Tribune that someone has gone to court and filed to have him declared legally
dead.
What I'd like to find out (but so far have had absolutely NO luck) is
(1) What exactly is London Farm & where is/was it?
... and ...
(2) Does anyone have any ideas as to how I would go about finding out more about the
circumstances of his arrest, incarceration and subsequent disappearance?
I've been pouring over old newspapers looking for any mention of his case, but so far
I've found nothing. Any other suggestions?
Todd
P.S. I have seen his name from time to time on the internet as hiving died in Dresden in
1950, but have been unable to find any proof of that so far... Plus, if he had, then why
would someone file to have him declared dead 21 years later?
