I sent for a copy of my grandmother's birth certificate to Porter county. They said that they couldn't find her eventhough I gave them the exact date: Sept. 27,1892 at Kouts, In. Sooo I'm thinking that the spelling is different: Nellie Delona Bonham was Nellie D. Bonaum. I found her grandfather in the 1850 census spelled that way and just thought it was spelled wrong. Maybe not! Could someone just check to see if that is the case and then I'll send off for it?

I was in antique store looking at pictures of my grandparents as a result of someone seeing I had posted an obiturary with family name. I recognized my family but there were others that had no names except for one with name of Jesse W. Patterson written on the back. It is from a studio in Valparaiso. I can not read the writing of the studio very well but looks like Dorward.
The antique store is in Franklin, IN.
If this is connection for anyone, I have the picture and can send via e-mail if you would like to see it.

Chesterton Tribune, July 2, 1885 cont
Our Constable
On the resignation of Dick Johnston, the man who was elected constable
of this place, Vincent Tratebas was appointed his successor. Since his
appointment, with the tremendous responsibility that has rested upon
him, Vince has blossomed out to be a bigger man than old Grant himself.
His authority is limitless, especially when he is in liquor. Several
times last winter he has succeeded in making an ass of himself, but last
Friday he crowned himself as the king of asses, by a series of
ridiculous sets. That day he was after horse-thieves. Going to
Valparaiso, he searched around and made himself very numerous, but of
course, horse thieves were scarce. Returning home, he caught up with
three Valparaiso boys, Jno Reddington, Jim Welsh and Frank Jones. In
some mysterious manner our constable got it into his cranium that they
were horse thieves, and in the name of Uncle Sam, Christopher Columbus,
and other celebrities, commanded them to surrender and backed his
exclamation points by pulling out a revolver. After attempting to
reason with the man and failing, the boys took the revolver away from
him, and made the discomfited Con. walk three miles. They then gave him
his horse, buggy, and war implements, and came on to Chesterton. By
this time Vince was boiling and coming into Chesterton on the gallop
jumped out and caught hold of one of the Valpo horses, and at the same
time got off the following oration: "I arrest you in the name of the
law, Chesterton, Ind., United States of America and command your
instantaneous surrender for horse stealing," and again the inevitable
revolver came out. The Con. struck an attitude which was intended to
fill the culprits with fear, and the public with admiration. It was the
supreme moment of his life, but alas, things failed to connect, and
before he knew it, the would be hero was led of by friends to be saved,
the worst licking he got. Another Speculation busted.
For Mr. Tratebas' benefit, we will say, the people of this place think
he is a pretty good man, but a blamed poor constable. And they also
think that in liquor he is ridiculous. If he wishes to redeem himself
and do a clever act, he will resign his office, and escape danger of
being prosecuted for being intoxicated while acting as an officer. The
law is very specific on that point, and perhaps a bored public might use
it, if obliged to.
Poverty
John Demoretski is a polish emigrant who about a year ago, came to
America from Poland to make a home for his family. He came to
Chesterton, and has been staying with his brother-in-law, Joseph
Lovendoski. He managed to scrape up enough money to send for his
family, and they arrived here last Monday, a week ago, after a long and
eventful voyage. After being allowed to land, a child of Demoretski's
was taken to the hospital for treatment. After laying there for
sometime, the mother was permitted to continue her journey with her sick
babe. Just one week after reaching Chesterton the baby died, Demoretski
has long been out of work and money and was unable to buy a coffin for
his child, and it lay all day Monday while the father was hunting means
to get one. Finally Scibba came to Dr. Green and laid the facts before
him, and an order for the coffin was given. This poor family are
without means of subsistence, the man, honest and industrious, cannot
talk English, and cannot get anything to do on the brick yards or
anywhere else. Something should be done for them.
VALPARAISO
Saturday afternoon some of our best citizens waited on the Mayor in the
city hall building to confer with him in regard to preventing the
picnics at Hill Side park on Sundays. Nothing of any importance was
settled on and the meeting adjourned to meet in the Opera House next
Thursday evening and have all the citizens who have the best interests
of the city at heart meet with them.
St. Paul's commencement exercises took place in the Grand Opera House
Tuesday night and was well attended. The graduates acquitting
themselves in an admirable manner. Fuller account next week.
John Taylor the man who was badly beaten in Chicago and who was placed
on a G. T. R. R. Train and was afterwards brought to our Poor house is
now able to be out.
The young men who have been attending school at other cities have
returned home. They are John Quinlan, of Milwaukee, John Meagher, of
Kankakee, Ills, John Moran, of Notre Dame, Ind., Wm. Quinlan, of
Milwaukee, and Frank Moran, of Cleveland.
The Presbyterian excursion to Maxinkuekee lake last week was not as well
patronized as it should be. The managers reported that they hardly made
expenses.
The young men of St. Paul's congregation are making extensive
preparations for a grand picnic at Hammel's grove next Saturday, July
4th.
Frank Quinn who left our fair city 9 years ago, is back the past week
visiting his parents and many friends.
We claim that Stuter, the west local conductor should give up railroad
work and seek employment in some detective agency. This past few weeks
is we think a fair sample of what he can do.
Saturday evening Aaron Winslow and John Fleming had an encounter on
Washington St. Winslow claims that Fleming followed him around town and
was imposing on him and that by giving him a good thrashing was the only
way he could prevent his so doing.
Mr. O. O'Sullivan was in Morgan last Monday attending the wedding of Wm.
Conboy and Katie Kallan.
On Sunday last a train consisting of 8 passenger coaches filled with
excursionist from Chicago, and a baggage car arrived 12 o'clock at the
Nickle Plate depot. The party marched to Hillside park, headed by a
Chicago band, expecting to enjoy the cool fresh country air. As far as
we could judge our visitors were a party of ladies and gentlemen, as
they were all well dressed and behaved in a proper manner. But as a
beer wagon was kept continually drawing beer from the city and it began
to flow in streams at our pleasure resort, several of our boys who would
like to be considered tough, went over in the afternoon, filled up with
beer and acted in a brutal, ungentlemanly manner disgusting to all
persons who have the least sense of propriety, they engaged in quarrels,
and acted more like wild beasts than human beings. Several fights were
the result and bruised faces, smashed fingers, and swollen eyes. We do
not know why they cannot behave themselves and act like men.
Swedish Lutheran Picnic
The Swedish Lutheran Picnic on the Fourth of July next will be held in
Geo. Morgan's Grove, instead of north of town as heretofore announced.
This change will enable those attending the picnic to hear the oration
of Col. H. H. Walker if they so desire.
Still in Business
Wilkinson & Foster, Agricultural Dealers, Valparaiso, wish to inform
their customers and friends, that notwithstanding the fact they were
burned out in the recent conflagration, they are still continuing in
business, and for the present may be found at Geo. Babcock's House. As
soon as possibly, they will secure other and more convenient quarters.

Hard Lives and Jail Deviltry
As Told by Ernest Kimball, the released Jail Bird
Ernest Kimball, the man in whose possession the rig now awaiting an
owner, was found, was discharged from the county jail last Thursday, and
on Friday came to Chesterton. While here he was rather talkative, and
tells some very rich stories about his life in the Porter county jail.
A Tribune reported interviewed him Friday.
Well, Kimball, I see you are out again?
Yes, I am going to stay out, I wouldn't have been placed in jail this
time if I had had friends, and wasn't a stranger. I found that horse
and was diligently hunting its owner when along came T. J. Johnson, I
asked him about the rig and he said he didn't know anything it. He
heard Martin Young had some hides stolen, and advised me to go to
Chesterton. I went, and when almost to C. Johnson asked if he could
ride with me. I said, yes, and now he claims to be the great and only
discover and capture of this rig. He had nothing to do with it any more
than the Sheriff, and both of them claim last honor.
So you think that there be a reward you ought to get it?
Yes sir, that's just it. Didn't I find the rig, didn't I lay in jail
from June 13th to June 25 on account of it. Who else I'd like to know
is entitled to it? Not that pretty sheriff I hope? Say I'll tell you
something. That Elias Thomas is a horrible coward. When I went to jail
on June 13th there were three burglars awaiting their trial. They were
hard characters, but they weren't flip. Just common bums, and nothing
slick about 'em. This sheriff was in mortal terror of them. After I
had been in a while he asked me if they had any tools, and where they
kept them. I tumbled to his racket right away so in a murderous way, I
told him I didn't know where they had tools hid, but if he listened in
the rotunda that evening, he might be able to catch them. That night
after we were all locked in our cells I commenced my operations. Being
a ventriloquist, I would imitate the sound of sawing iron, and it was so
near like the natural that the other prisoners said it was O.K. Well of
course the sheriff heard it, and wasn't he wild all night. Three times
he came and examined the bars, and told us he had two armed deputies
outside ready to shoot down any who attempted to escape. After he'd
settle down I'd make a noise like escaping water, and out he'd come, and
accuse us of tapping the reservoir. The other boys would egg on the
fun, and it was fun to see that fear-stricken man bob around after
will-a-wisp sawyers and escaping water, declaring that he had a lot of
shells full of buck shot with which he was guarding us. But say, I could
get out of that jail in 15 minutes if I wanted. Just a pair of skeleton
saws, is all I want. It's an easy jail to break.
Then you are not very favorably impressed with Mr. Thomas. Didn't he
feed you well?
O yes, in some respects we were used well and in others, most
shamefully. He gave seven of us the same amount of food that he gave
three of us, and no more. When there was three of us he gave us a
decidedly better quality of board. If we asked him to buy us anything
with our money in his possession or ask him for water, salt, thread,
needle or to have a note carried to my lawyer, he would say yes, yes, in
fact he would say yes, to everything we asked of him, but he would
forget it nineteen times out of twenty. On the 15th I asked him to
carry a note or verbal message to my lawyer, (Wm. Johnson). He said
yes, he could remember and tell him what I said right off, but that
evening when I asked him about it, it was, I forgot it. Finally, after
I had been in several days despairing of the Sheriff/'s memory, I asked
him what his time was worth. I told him, if necessary I would give him
25 or 30 cents to carry to Lawyer Johnson the names of two witnesses I
wanted subpoenaed. He said, my time is very valuable, and I am busy but
if you'll
GIVE ME FIFTY CENTS
I'll carry your message. I said all right, you have my money in charge.
He carried it immediately. June 25th I was discharged and he retained
50 cents of the 81 cents I had which was in his possession, and with 31
cents I was turned adrift. Yes, its easy for a man to be honest, and yet
people wonder how tramps and thieves are made.
Well, what's your opinion about that rig? Have you any idea about who
owns it?
Yes, that rig came from Michigan City and the fellow who owns that rig
is the man who stole the hides. He got scared, abandoned it and now is
afraid to claim it. There is a man who can and will identify the rig
when the proper time comes, and the initials of that mans name is P.
McNulty. But its going to be hard to convict the fellow for he can
swear that he owned the rig once, and sold it to a stranger. So what can
you do?

Death of Dr. Williams:
The death of Dr. Williams, a pioneer and aged resident of this place
occurred at his home, on Prospect Hill, Saturday night, about ten
o'clock. At supper he was in his usual health, but on retiring felt a
deep suffocation, and arose and went to the door exclaiming "I'm dying!"
The family so rallied around him and did all in their power to relieve
him, but it appears his time had come, and he calmly expired in a few
moments. Seventy five years of life were given him, but at length,
death came almost like a "night flash", and the aged life went out. He
leaves a wife, three grown up boys and three daughters. The entire
community extends sympathy to the estimable wife, who in the December of
life is left to mourn the loss of one, who through life's conflict was
ever by her side. Funeral services were held Tuesday forenoon at the
house, and attended by an unusual large gathering; the Rev. W. H. Puffer
officiating. - Hart, (Mich) Journal.
Dr. Williams is one of the early settlers of Porter County, having
practiced medicine in Valparaiso in the "sixties". To many of the older
settlers of this county, he is well known, for he made many warm friends
by his kindly acts while here and his sudden demise is greatly
regretted. He was the grandfather of Mrs. A. J. Bowser.
Obituary
Died - F. Dabbert, at the residence of his son, Henry Dabbert, at
Hageman, on Sunday, June 18th at the age of 87 years.
Mr. Dabbert was born in Schloss Basedow, Mecklenburg Schwerin, Germany
in 1798, and emigrated to America in 1864. Shortly after, with his
wife, he came to Hageman, and made his home with his son. He was always
a sober, industrious man, and loved to work. It was his amusement.
Last Friday he went to mow some grass in the yard, but soon after fell
down exhausted from the combined effects of the heat and old age. From
this he never rallied, and on Sunday following he was dead. The
faithful partner of his joys and sorrows left him for her heavenly home
but a few short weeks ago, and then he said, "I will not long remain
behind, I am coming too." He kept his word.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Schlecter, of Otis last
Tuesday, and the remains followed to their last resting place by a large
procession of friends.
Not Seriously Injured
Friday evening, Ira. B. Tilletson and an employee of C. Schenck's were
returning from Hillside Park, driving rather rapidly, and on attempting
to turn into Schenck's barn the wheel caught and the buggy suddenly
upset throwing both men out. Tilletson struck fair upon his head and
was picked up unconscious and taken to his room. As he is able to be
out this morning his injuries are not serious, though his face and head
are badly bruised and cut. The other man was not hurt. The buggy
belonging to Schenck's barn was badly broken.
Card of Thanks
Mr. and Mrs. H. Dabbert wish to return thanks through the column of the
Tribune to their many kind friends for the many favors rend3ered them
during the late sickness and death of Mr. Dabbert, Mr. H. Dabbert's
father.
The Festive Horse Thief
Gets In a Good Month's Work Among the Farmers
Result of His June Labors
During the past month horses have disappeared from their owners
uncommonly fast. Almost every day a postal card from this or adjoining
states comes to this place announcing the fact that a horse has been
stolen, and a noteworthy fact is that but very rarely is the thief
caught or the property recovered. The operations are so well conducted
that in spite of telephone, telegraph, and railway facilities, the
horses disappear entirely. We publish a list of the horses unrecovered,
for which rewards are offered, which have been stolen from May 19th to
June 25th.
$25.00 REWARD

years old, weighs about 1,100 pounds, star in forehead, small white

horse.
Stolen May 20th, from Wm. B. Keam, near Schoolcraft, one open coal-box
buggy, made by "Cornell & Co., Kalamazoo, Mich." Also, single harness,
nearly new. Also red woolen blanket. $25 reward offered for return of
buggy and harness.
I will pay $50 spot cash for the thief. Should you strike the track
spare no expense to get him. Just bear in mind that I want him, and
want him bad. Should you hear of such a horse passing through or near
your town, do not stop to write, but get to the nearest telegraph office
and wire me any news at my expense.
