A small child of Peter Molley died and was buried Tuesday.
Thank you so much for the info.
The child mentioned re: Peter Molley (should be Molloy) was his son Benedict Molloy.
If you find anything more about Molloy's I would LOVE it!
Thank you,
Susan Owens
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Spencer (IN) Democrat, February 4, 1892.
Owen H. Martin, an old and highly respected citizen of Jennings Township,
died at his home last week aged about 80 years. The greater part of his
life had been spent on the premises where he died. For some time "Uncle
Owen," as all called him, had been failing in health. In the walk of life,
Mr. Martin was conservative, quiet, cautious, yet firm. He was an
unflinching Democrat but quiet and manly in the exercise of his rights in
this regard. All regret the loss of this grand old "land mark" of our
community and extend sympathy to the bereaved family.

Patricksburg to attend the funeral of his brother, J. C. Magill.

He was buried in the Duncan Graveyard Sunday afternoon, the funeral sermon

Hello All -
I am new to this list but not new to genealogy research. I have an ancestor, Ichabod Clawson, whom I can place in Fairfield, VT in 1820. As luck would have it, I will be in that general area for a convention in a few weeks, and plan to do as much research as time allows. However, I will NOT be able to visit Owen County before I go, which is where I loose track of Ichabod in 1850.
He was 69 in the 1850 census. My Owen County notes:
• 1840 Owen County, Indiana (census)
• 1841 Land Patent Owen County, Indiana (land patent records)
•1850 Owen County, Indiana, wife Alice, son Phillip b. Ohio + 3 unknown minors (Alice’s?)
• No death date or location. Last info 1850 census age 69 b. NJ
How do I go about finding someone who could check for a will and/or probate records & land records? I would not wholly discount another move beyond the age of 69 considering his previously wandering feet, but I would like Owen County records reviewed if possible.....
Thanks for any input,
Debbie in west central Ohio, where his daughter remained

Sorry I cannot be of help to you. I found this clipping when I was doing
research for another family and shared it with the list because I thought
it might be of interest to others.

I would imagine that Sarah Smock is related to our family. Jackson Smock
was my great great grandfather and his father was James Smock. Would there
be anyway to get in touch with the person who sent this in?

Mrs. Sarah Smock of McVille had the misfortune to have her house and
contents burned recently, and if it had not been for the bravery of Matthew
Sims and William Porter two of her children would have perished in the
flames. The loft was falling in when the two children, who were under the
bed crying, were rescued, and the boys were severely burned about the face
and hands in doing so. Mrs. Smock was away from home when the house caught
fire. Messrs. Sims and Porter deserve a gold medal for saving her
children.

Rev. James B. Arnett, pastor of the Bowling Green and Pleasant View churches
of the Missionary Baptist denomination, is the eldest son of John and Celia
(Smith) Arnett, natives of North Carolina and of Irish descent. He was born
in Wythe County, Virginia, December 20, 1828, whence his parents came to
Indiana in 1831 and settled in Jackson Twp., Owen County, where he mainly
made his home until 1879 at which period he removed to Clay County and took
charge of New Union and Pleasant View churches in Owen County and of
Goodhope Church at Middlebury, which charges he held for three years. In
1859 he was called to preach by the United Brethren Church and in 1875 he
entered the ministry of the Missionary Baptists.
September 1, 1853, he married Sarah E. Huber who bore him several children:
Amanda, Eliza, John Henry, James William, Celia Margaret and two deceased.
August 15, 1862, Mr. Arnett enlisted in Co. E, 85th Indiana Volunteer
Infantry and served until discharged. He served on regimental hospital duty
at Covington, Kentucky where, in handling the sick, he received an injury to
his spine.
Mr. Arnett is truly a self-made man and has a pleasant home and about ten
acres in Middlebury. He is a Republican of over 20 years duration and a
greatly respected citizen.
Posted by Mike Rastatter at http://www.sweetowen.net/obitsH.html. No date
or source noted. Also a newspaper photocopy of the clipping was found in
the Huber Family File at the Owen County Public Library, Spencer, Indiana.
Although the source was not noted, it was dated August 10, 1950.
The Master said, "Come" and on the early morning of July 27, 1950, Daniel
Harvey Huber suddenly answered the call at his home in Spencer, being 80
years, 3 months and 26 days of age, having been born March 31, 1870. He was
born in Owen County near Jordan Village and was the oldest child of a family
of nine children and the oldest son of William and Julia Ann (Query) Huber.
On January 15th, 1890 he was united in marriage to Eliza Jane Fraizer, who
preceded him in death October 14th, 1944. He was preceded in death by
father, mother, two brothers, John and Willie and one sister, Rose. To this
union, 4 children were born, one of whom, Leslie T died at the age of 2 1/2
years, and the other three children being Alva C, Mary Mae Cassel and Ina A.
Evans, all living near Quincy. In 1910 he united with the Millgrove
Methodist Church and during the intervening years he fulfilled his church
duties to the best of his ability. His life business was farming with the
exception of serving one term as trustee of Taylor Township, being elected
to this in 1908. On March 2, 1946 he was united in marriage to Lucy Moore of
Spencer, and they lived on his farm in the Millgrove Community until his
health (failed) and on May 2, 1950 they moved to Spencer. He leaves to mourn
his passing, Lucy, his faithful wife, three children, Alva, Mae and Ina; two
step-daughters, Mrs. Jane Coffey of Freedom and Mrs. Bertha Hunter of
Bloomington; 10 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; two brothers, Charlie
of Quincy and Bert of Indianapolis; three sisters, Alice Davis of Quincy,
Hattie Smith of Yellville, Arkansas, and Clara Mugg of Green castle and a
host of other relatives and friends. Harve, as he was called, was a good
neighbor, kind and loving husband and father and will be greatly missed by
all, and to those left behind, with the words of the poem: "We cannot say
and we will not say That father is dead, he is just away, with a cherry
smile and wave of his hand He has wandered into an unknown land And Left is
dreaming how very fair It needs must be since he lingers there, And you, Oh
you, who the wiliest yearns, For the old time step and glad return Think of
him as faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here; Think of
him still as the same, we say. He is not dead, he is just away.

Charles R. Huber was born in Illinois on April 15, 1878, and departed this
life on the morning of February 11, 1958, at the age of 78 years and 10
months. His family moved to Indiana when Charlie, as we know him, was a boy
about 5. Most of his boyhood was spent near Jordan Village. When a young man
he united with the Millgrove Church where he has remained a faithful member.
Charles will always be remembered by friends and neighbors for his sense of
humor and jovial spirit. In 1899 he has united in marriage to Tressie
McCullough and to this union were born two sons, Roy of Detroit, Michigan
and Juel of Quincy. Charlie spent most of his life as a farmer and
carpenter. He is survived by the widow and two sons; the daughter-in-laws,
Harriet and Mae; three sisters, Mrs. Ernest Mugg of Greencastle, Mrs.
Haskell Smith of Summit, Arkansas, and Mrs. Alice Davis of Quincy; and a
brother, Bert of Indianapolis; also a number of nieces and nephews and a
host of other relatives and friends who will certainly miss "Charlie". The
clock of Life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when
the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own.
LIVE, LOVE, TOIL with a will. Place on faith in the tomorrow for the clock
may then be still.
