I could be wrong but I believe you would need to send to the court house in
the county seat of the county that she died in, whereever that may be. Where
she actually died.

Old Setters List, 8 August 1879
Spencer, Owen County, Indiana
(As printed in the "Owen County Journal" newspaper, 4 Sep. 1879. Listed are
the old settlers' names, place and date of birth and the year of removal to
Indiana. Individuals with just IN and a year were born in Indiana in that
year.)
Thursday, Aug. 28, 1879, the day appointed for the meeting of old settlers at
Spencer, was propitious in all respected, and the good people, old and young,
to the number of several thousand, responded to the call and came out to
enjoy the proceedings appointed for that day. The arrangements previously
made were ample for the comfort of the crowd and the programme of exercises
gave general satisfaction. The speaking was above the average on similar
occasions, and the music by the Chapel and Spencer Bands was good enough for
any sort of gathering.
The crowd assembled about the stand in the court house yard about 9 o'clock
A.M. and the exercises were opened with prayer by J.F. Allison. Then
followed short speeches by A. Henry, A.R. Mills, Wm Williams, J.F. Allison,
Jesse Vaughan and T. C. Franklin, which took up the time in the forenoon. The
speeches ere all interesting and related to early days, the hardships endure,
the difficulties encountered and overcome, the danger that were ever present
in the forms of wild beasts and wilder men, and also the sunny side of the
picture with its primitive pleasures and cordial enjoyments.
In the afternoon Gov. J. D. Williams was the first speaker introduced. Being
an old settler himself he confirmed many of the tales told of pioneer life by
the speakers of the forenoon and gave a number of interesting early incidents
within his own experience and observation. The short speech of the governor
commanded close attention and it was well fitted to the occasion.
J.W. Archer was next introduced and proceeded to read a lengthy and carefully
prepared paper on the early history of this country and its first settler.
The paper is valuable and contains historical and biographical facts that are
invaluable. During the reading the author was complimented with the undivided

<< Couchman or Steele >>
Sorry, no Couchman or Steele on the Old Settlers list -- However, in a book
written by David E Beem in 1917, "The Daniel Beem Family", the Steele family
is mentioned as early settlers of Owen County in the years 1817 or 1818, "in
what is now Montgomery Twp".
In the same book, an address by William Payne states...I emigrated to Indiana
in the autumn of 1822. ...We[Payne & Valentine Lyon] settled in what was
then called the STEELE neighborhood in this county...
Later Payne states ... I went [yr -1822] to Mr. John Hudson's to look after
the horses and stay all night. Mr. Ninian STEELE and wife had come to pay
Mr. Hudson a visit by staying all night.
The same book states - At a meeting of the board of commissioners held
September 2, 1819 .... a new board consisting of John Johnson, James A.
STEELE, and Jesse Evans, came in. ....February 12, 1820, ....present, James
A STEELE, John Johnson, and Jessie Evans, county commissioners.
Per David E. Beem -
STEELE, Samuel A. married Marianne Beem b. March 26, 1835,
Children: Levi Samuel Steele, Edgar C. Steele, Horace Beem Steele, Harry

written by Dixie Kline
>From a Cornerstone
I hope somewhere on another plane W. H. Johnson is pleased that the
record he placed in the Freedom high school cornerstone in 1915 (and
later retrieved when the building was razed) is going to be
appreciated and read in the future.. . more than he imagined.
Inasmuch as a cornerstone is to contain a message for the future, I
take it there may be some relative or other persons that would be
interested to read what I say of myself. My life has not been eventful
only to myself and those closely connected.
I was born in a log cabin situated in Sec. 27, NE quarter in the year
1838, January 18 [Franklin township]. At foot of the hill above which
a spring came out and ran down near the cabin. My father's name,
Lewis Johnson, born in Virginia in 1807, died July, 1882. Mother's
name Elizabeth Wise Johnson born in North Carolina in 1813. died
1858. I am second son of my father's second wife [he having two
daughters by a former wife].
My brothers and sisters as follows: J. M. Johnson, eldest son,
W. H. Johnson (the writer), Mary Johnson Biggs, Elnor Johnson Keller,
Angeline Johnson, Perlina Johnson, unmarried, both; Cornelius,
Windfield C. and John A. Johnson.
I was about two years old when father bought the Se.Se., Section 22,
built a hewed log house and moved, and in which he lived to raise
all his children, and until it was no longer fit to live in. I being
especially attached to mother and desiring to promote her comfort,
built a comfortable house for them in which they spent the remainder of
their lives.
But to go back a little, my other brother married a wife at 18 years
of age, and left me to do the work on the farm. I being next oldest, so
I
continued to stay at home giving my entire time and means to the
support of the family until I was 28 years of age. It now seemed
that I should leave the cares to the younger brothers and father.
So I accordingly began to cast about to find something to do for my
life's work.
I had no means to speak of although I had taught several terms of
school.
It had all went to the general supply. But now something must be done;
it required quite a sum to begin farming, besides I had no land to farm
in this situation, I finally decided to try merchandising and I began to
prepare for the financial part. And to get together all the money I
could
to purchase my first stock. I had rented corn land of Rodney Leach in
1868, and with one horse had made an excellent crop. Corn being scarce,
1 sold enough to bring $680, same fall and winter taught school which
brought $215, now had $895. I then burrowed $500 of Alex McBride
which constituted the sum total of my capitol. Procured a house in
Freedom and April 4, 1869, I started on horseback for Ellettsville.
Left my horse in barn and went by rail to New Albany and made
my initial purchase which consisted of dry goods, groceries, hardware,
notions and Queensware. At that time all goods were very high in
price and being without experience, I was an easy mark, although
the people I dealt with assured me they would take care of my interest
which they did, in a way, for I found on opening the goods for display
that I had paid retail prices for most everything. And some things
above that. I then determined to use my own judgment and profit
by experience, so I got the retail prices as well as I could and sold
without regard to cost. My main object was as cheap as anyone.
My object was dispose of the high-priced and buy at true cash values.
I had the services of traveling men who were anxious to sell me
when they found that I paid all bills promptly, thus my credit was
worth thousands of dollars to me. And by continuing this way
always being strictly honest in my dealing with everyone, my
business grew equal to best expectations, And now that I considered
that I had had a reasonable degree of success and felt that I could
support a better half [though I now think that was a mistake as
early marriage is preferred, I say this as advice to any that might
be interested]... Having made the acquaintance of Miss Sadie M. Fulk,
daughter of Emmanuel Folk, ex-recorder, it being agreeable to all, we
were married October 2, 1882. Our first baby came May 15, 1884,
Elizabeth. Since baby girl died in July, 1386; then Ruth, Lewis, E.,
Ruby, A., Mark. Five still living, all good and strong and all graduates
from high school, all church members. I myself a member Baptist Church,
Freedom, since 1876. Also I am member of Masonic Blue Lodge 466
since 1869, served the public as township assessor, also as
Franklin township trustee. Am possessed of property in Freedom value
of $1800, farm east of Freedom 130 acres, $1300, farm southwest
of Freedom, 160 acres, $1,000. Have sufficient livestock. Together
with life insurance to pay all debts against me. This October 9, 1915,
by W. H. Johnson.

Everyone,
I came across this article from the Owen Country Journal newspaper that was
reprinted in The Hoosier Magazine and appeared in a book of consolidated
Hoosier Mag info in my local library History Room here in VA. Apparently
there was a group of Old Settlers who met and reflected on the pioneer days,
told stories, etc. Who knows if the listing of attendees is complete. And
certainly not all the Old Settlers were even present. It just another "bit"
of info to tease and torment those of us trying to track out ancestors.
Sorry to cause anyone any additional frustration.
Pat
Guess I am still in the dark as to what the Old Settlers meeting was. I now
have the when, but have no idea as to the why or where.
