Hello list,
I'm new to the list, and am researching my great great grandfather and family.
Martin Elwood SHELDON and his wife moved to Jefferson County, near Bellview
about 1886. I know they lived there at least 16 years. They had 2 children,
Loren J. SHELDON who was about a year old when they moved near Bellview, and
Margaret SHELDON, birth date, place unknown.
Loren J. SHELDON married Lillian PHILLIPS of Madison, Indiana on 3-5-1907.
Loren went on to become a Methodist Minister.
Rev. Loren and Lillian PHILLIPS SHELDON had one son, Alton Elwood SHELDON.
He married my grandmother in South Dakota. They were later divorced. I know
that Alton SHELDON and my grandmother had 2 daughters, and one son. The son
died as a child from convulsions caused by a high fever. He is buried
somewhere in Indiana.
Rev. Loren SHELDON is buried in Graham, near Madison, Indiana.
Thank you.
If anyone needs any help researching in South Dakota, I will do all I can to
help.
