Currently researching the family of James Jefferson Goar and his wife, Lavicia Paul of Tipton Co. (Jackson), IN. I am particularly interested in their daughter Lydia Ellen "Lillie" Goar, who married William Henry Nichols/Nicholls about 1889-1891 probably in Hallock, Marshall Co., MN. They had a son Clifford Paul Nichols/Nicholls, born 10-04-1891 in MI. Clifford became a conductor for the Great Northern Railroad. He resided in Fargo, ND for many years and Grand Forks prior to that. He died on 7-28-1970 in Fargo and is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery in Grand Forks. His wife's name was Minnie Tuffree and he had at least one daughter. Lydia Ellen "Lillie" Goar Nichols/Nicholls must have divorced her husband William. She returned to Tipton Co., IN about 1900 and married a man by the last name of Ricketts. Would like to know what became of her. Any info. would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hi!
I'm currently researching the family of James Jefferson Goar and his wife, Lavicia Paul. I am tracing their daughter, Lydia Ellen Goar (AKA "Lillie"). She married William Henry Nichols/Nicholls about 1889-1891 possibly in Hallock, Marshall Co., MN. Their son, Clifford Paul Nichols/Nicholls was born on 10-04-1891 in MI. They later moved to the area of Argyle/Stephen in Marshall Co., MN. Lillie and William eventually must have divorced because she moved back to IN (probably Tipton Co.) and married a man by the last name of Ricketts (@1900) and William married Eliza Jane Jenkins and moved to Spearfish, SD. Clifford worked as a conductor for the Great Northern Railroad and retired in Fargo, ND. He died in Fargo on 7-28-1970. He is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery in Grand Forks, ND. He and his wife, Minnie Tuffree, had at least one daughter. Any additional info. on the Goar family, especially in Tipton Co., IN would be wonderful! I'd lke to know what became of Lillie !
(Goar) Nicholls Ricketts. Thanks!

Am not researching this family and have no other info. In the 1850 census for Tipton county, Madison township there was a family headed by Michael Yohe, 35, farmer, born in Pa, included were Mary A, 37, Pa, - Stephen, 19, Pa, - Elizabeth, 18, Ohio, - Caroline, 16, Ohio, - Ephriaim, 14, Ohio, - Alexander, 12, Ohio, - Mary A, 10, Ohio, - James, 6, Ohio, - Savina, 4, Ind, - Marion, 2, Ind, and Elizabeth, 64, Pa. I did find a Martha J Riley in the 1860 census for the same township, but she was only 4 years old which would have made he about 15 when she maried in 1871. Could that be the one you are looking for? Don

Are you sure of the county? The only Frances Brown I could find in Tipton county in 1860 was 78 years old. Couldn't find anyone named Francis. For the record Francis M Brown married Cornelia A Lewis in Delaware county on 19 Jan 1859. Good luck. Don

This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it.
Typed by Lora Radiches:
Surnames in this biography: WOOLDRIDGE, Randolph, Bond,
OMER WOOLDRIDGE, M. D. The medical practitioners at Columbus, Indiana, are, without exception, men of high professional standing and universally held in esteem throughout Bartholomew County, and many of them are still most favorably recalled in other sections where circumstances led to an earlier location. In 1923 this medical group at Columbus was increased, by the coming here of Dr. Omer Wooldridge, an able, experienced physician and surgeon, of Kokomo, Indiana, formerly secretary of the Howard County Medical Society and deputy treasurer of Howard County. Dr. Omer Wooldridge was born October 3, 1884, in Tipton County, Indiana, a son of Thomas E. and Mary (Randolph) Wooldridge, the latter a descendant of the distinguished Randolph family of Virginia. The paternal grandfather of Doctor Wooldridge was the founder of this family in Indiana, coming here from Kentucky prior to the War Between the States and serving as a soldier in this state. He became a man of large wealth !
and local prominence. Thomas E. Wooldridge, father of Doctor Wooldridge, was born in Tipton County, Indiana. Later he became an extensive farmer and an active factor in local politics in Howard County, where he still lives in comfortable retirement. With his two brothers and a sister Omer Wooldridge attended the public schools in Tipton County, and later he was graduated from the Kokomo High School, this being followed by one year in Butler College. He then located at Greentown in Howard County where he was engaged in teaching school £or five and one-half terms of school, during this period devoting all of his leisure time to medical reading preparatory to entering the medical department of the University of Indiana, from which he was graduated in 1920, with his degree of Doctor of Medicine. During 1922 he served as internee in Saint Anthony Hospital, Chicago, and then located for practice at Kokomo, Indiana, where he built up a large professional connection a!
nd won personal respect and esteem. Doctor Wooldridge was married to Miss Muriel Bond, who was born in Monroe County, Indiana, and they have one daughter, Betty Lou. With his family Doctor Wooldridge is actively interested in the work of the Christian Church and other beneficent and uplifting agencies at Columbus. He belongs to Saint John’s Lodge, A. F. and A. M., of Columbus, to the B. P. 0. Elks, and is a member of the Bartholomew County Medical Society, the Indiana State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical society of the University of Indiana, and the Columbus Kiwanis Club. Doctor Wooldridge believes in the election of reputable men to office in both the state and the nation, and giving them sufficient compensation for their services so that their official acts may be free from selfish influences, and they can reject dictation from interested influences. He is an advocate of compulsory education, and favors t!
he extension of the public school system to the highest degree of efficiency. From the beginning of his career Doctor Wooldridge has found time to read and study, and takes pride in keeping abreast of the advancement in his profession. Although in the very prime of vigorous manhood, he is a successful and able practitioner, having advanced steadily since he had his first patient, and his influence in the section of the state wherein he is making his home is one that may very well be a stimulating example to those who come after him. With such admirable qualities, therefore, there is small wonder that he has been received at Columbus as he has, nor that he has been given such a whole-hearted support from its citizens.
This came from a list I am on. Please check it out to see if you find old
lost Photo's of your family. I don't know this man. I hope it helps someone
out here.

In my travels, I see family photos lost in antique shops.
I think this is sad, so I decided to do something about it.
So I bought every family photo that I can find with a surname on it and set
up a website so that the descendants of these people can reclaim their
lost loved ones. I have been able to help many people.
Check out my website. Maybe I can help you, as well.
