Judy,
Are you sure Frank Pagett, Julia and Elmer are on page 13, District # 47, Henderson Co., Reed, KY in the 1900 Census?
I've looked at page 13 A & 13 B but I do not see FRANK PAGETT / Padgett and his family in the 1900 Census.
What line number, household number, etc. do you have for the reading of this census?
Thanks,
Nancy

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.

EDWARD MEAD JOHNSON, president of Mead Johnson Company of Evansville, is unquestionably one of the most successful and public-spirited businessmen of Southern Indiana. Born on a farm, his rise in the business world makes a most colorful story. He was born near the Village of Dundaff, not far from Carbondale, Pennsylvania, April 23, 1852, son of Sylvester and Louisa (Wood) Johnson. As a matter of record the following digest of the family genealogy is included. Sylvester Johnson was born November 28, 1800, near New London, Connecticut, and died in 1883 at Crystal Lake, Pennsylvania. He was a businessman, interested in several enterprises, and also operated a farm. He married in September, 1831, Miss Louisa Wood, born April 13, 1809, and died at Crystal Lake, Pennsylvania, also. Sylvester Johnson was the son of Stephen Johnson, born November 14, 1772, and died April 19, 1863, at the age of ninety. He married at Plainfield, Connecticut, October 31, 1798, Miss Experience Wheele!
r, who was born October 31, 1772, and died April 6, 1850. The Wheeler family is said to be the founders of the town of Stonington, Connecticut. Stephen Johnson was the son of Sylvester Johnson, born September 21, 1728, and died January 2, 1815. The Johnson family had not distinguished themselves in history or in the business world until the generation of Mr. Mead Johnson and his brothers, but they were always of the hardy, true American stock of hard working, God fearing, useful citizens that make the real back-bone of the development of our great nation. It is from the ranks of modest folks like these that true eminence springs. The Wood family history, however, is a little more colorful. Louisa Wood, mother of Edward Mead Johnson, was the daughter of James Wood, who was born about 1777 at Goshen, New York, and died in 1836 at Newburgh, New York. James Wood was the son of Joseph Wood, who was born December 1, 1744, and died September 13, 1825. Joseph Wood was the son of Tim!
othy Wood, who was born at Huntington, Long Island, July 17, 1683, and died in 1780. Timothy Wood was one of the early settlers of Goshen, Orange County, New York. He was the son of Jonas Wood, Jr., who was born in 1640 and died in 1712. Jonas Wood was a lieutenant of Suffolk County troops in 1684 and in 1690 he was elected one of three commissioners “to take care of all affairs rellaitting to ye publicke good of the towne,” as recorded in the minutes of the town meeting. He held several other public offices at various times. His father was Jonas Wood, Sr., who was born in 1595 in Yorkshire, England, and came to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1630, thence to Hempstead, Long Island. He died in Huntington in 1689, at the age of ninety-four. It was concerning Joseph Wood, great-grandfather of Mr. Johnson, that history has considerable to record, as he was a major in the Revolutionary war and one of the leading citizens of Goshen at that time. He married Elinor Tusten!
, daughter of Benjamin Tusten, Sr., another of the leading families of Goshen in Revolutionary times. The only brother of Elinor Tusten, Benjamin Tusten, Jr., was a physician and a lieutenant colonel in the Revolutionary war, and died in a terrible bloody battle of that war, in which his entire army was destroyed by a combination of British and Indians who outnumbered the Goshen defenders heavily. This was known as the Minisink Battle. Edward Mead Johnson grew up on the farm as one of eleven children and received his early education in the country schools. His first job, outside the farm, was as a schoolteacher in a rural school. After a year of teaching he worked with the official engineering corps of a coal company at Carbondale. He financed his way through the University of Michigan by his own earnings in engineering work and graduated with a degree in law in 1876. He decided, however, to enter the business world instead of the legal. The !
opportunity soon presented itself when his brother, R. W. Johnson, who had started in the drug business in Poughkeepsie, New York, gave him employment with his firm. This business had operated under the name of Seabury & Johnson. He later joined with another brother, James W. Johnson, in founding, in 1893, the Johnson & Johnson Company, which has since become world famous as manufacturers of drugs and pharmaceutical supplies. Headquarters of this company were established in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1900 E. Mead Johnson withdrew from the Johnson & Johnson Company to establish the Mead Johnson Company in Jersey City, New Jersey. By 1911 this firm began to specialize in infant diet materials, including Dextri-Maltose (malt sugar), the infant food for which the company is chiefly known today. During the war the demand for Dextri Maltose was greatly increased and the Mead Johnson Company turned to wheat and corn to augment the supply, which made it more desirable for the fac!
tory to be located nearer the grain producing areas. Mr. Johnson selected Evansville as the best spot for his new factory, which he located here in 1915, production starting in May, 1916. Mr. Johnson has been a resident of Evansville since 1916 and as such he has always shown a keen interest in the business and civic welfare of the community. Seeing the strategically position of Evansville as a river shipping point, the harbor there being free from ice the year round, he contributed a half million dollars to the building of what is known as the Mead Johnson Terminal for handling water, rail and truck freight, with warehouse and handling facilities of the latest design. This great civic asset was opened to the public with general celebration on February 27, 1981. On that day the Evansville Courier carried a ten-page special section devoted to the details of the event. The terminal was never planned by Mr. Johnson as a profit-m!
aking venture for his company or himself, as he hardly expected it to pay its own expenses, but to meet an urgent civic need. The use to which the terminal has been put since it was opened has more than justified Mr. Johnson’s faith in constructing it as a means of enlarging the commerce of the city. Another expression of his civic interest is to be found in his donation of the Public Health Nursing Association Building and much of its furnishings, and many other similar cause -which he has assisted. Besides his manufacture of baby food, of which 10,000,000 packages annually are distributed, Mr. Johnson is a stockholder in several banks and has property in Florida and Michigan. Mr. Johnson married in 1884 Miss Francine Lambert, daughter of John Lambert, who was a native of France and who served in the Confederate army during the American Civil war. To this union were born three children: Edward Mead, Jr., born in 1890 and died November 2, 1930, was v!
ice president of the Mead Johnson Company at the time of his death. He married Katherine Moran, of San Antonio, Texas, and had a son, Edward Mead III, born in 1917. The second son of Mr. Johnson, Sr., is Lambert D., born in 1892, who is now vice president and treasurer of the Mead Johnson Company and who married Evelyn Tglehart, of Evansville, and their three children are Lambert, Jr., born in 1921; Edgar Iglehart, born in 1924; and Gloria, born in 1926. The third son of Mr. Johnson is James Wood, who served with the Aviation Corps during the war but is now giving most of his time to literary work. He married Camille de Bullet, a French woman, and they purchased and occupy the house formerly occupied by Premier Clemenceau during the war, which was built during the reign of Louis XVI but recently modernized. They have two children: Francis, born in 1922, and Camille, born in 1929. Mr. Johnson, Sr., subsequently married Helena Dalton, a native of Brooklyn, New York, daughter o!
f John and Helena Dalton. Mr. Johnson has been an independent in politics. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.

My husband's family comes in on this line. Would love to hear from you!! Reply soon.
Hi, a few years back my father (James Zuber) brought home an old book of
beautiful postcards, all mailed to Mrs. Augusta Schemet of 1118 E. Illinois
St. in Evansville. I have read through all these postcards, trying to
determine a family line. I would love to send this beautiful, fragile
book (circa 1910) to its rightful owner. The postcards are of Evansville,
DC, SD, and generally all over. This family traveled a lot. Lines I can
determine are-- Mrs. Augusta Schemet, children are Ida (living in Olney or
Grayville, IL?), Herbert (evidently worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and lived in DC and probably Greenwood SD), William (lived in McCleansboro,
IL. Augusta's sisters were Mrs. Wm Koelling, Maggie, and Lena (could all
be the same person). Nieces and nephews to Gusta were Irene Juncker,
Evertt and Albert (no last names).
I have no use for this fragile scrapbook, and should something happen
to me, my children probably would discard it-- not knowing what to do with
it. Please contact me, if you are of this line:

JOSEPH H. BAKER. whose home is at Evansville and whose official duties are in the courthouse as a justice of the peace of Vanderburg County, is an old time railroad man, spending many years in the railroad service. He was born at Evansville. September 17, 1872. His father, August H. Baker, was born in Kentucky and throughout his active life was engaged in building steamboats. He died in 1909. Judge Baker’s mother was Zerelda Troutman, who was born at Shepherdsville, Kentucky, and died in 1910. There were two children, Joseph and Zerelda. Joseph H. Baker attended grade and high schools and as a youth took up railroading as a career. For several years he was a fireman with the Louisville & Nashville, and then joined the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railway, and for ten years held the post of engineer. He is a retired member of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Locomotive Engineers and for four years was chairman of its grievance committee. !
In 1914 he was elected constable of Pigeon Township, Vanderburg County, holding that office two terms. He has presided over the court as a justice of the peace since 1922 and was reelected in 1926 and again in 1930. Judge Baker’s repeated reelection is particularly remarkable in view of the fact that he is of the minority party, having been for eight years the only Democrat in the county courthouse. Judge Baker is a member of the Tribe of Ben Hur, and has been a generous supporter of churches of different denominations. He married in November, 1892, Miss Mary Stockmyer, daughter of Jacob Stockmyer. Judge and Mrs. Baker have two sons, Gus A. and Fred, both of whom live in Evansville. Gus married Effie Cozjne and has three children, named James J., Junior and Mary.
Would some kind soul please look for Fred Pixley and wife Mary Ella aprox age
21 in the 1900 & or 1910 Indiana Census. Should be Vanderburgh in 1900,
possibly Warrick in 1910. I can look up the image, but have no index.

Muriel,
My mother had a wonderful college friend, Katherine BUTZ Watson, at Indianapolis, Indiana's Butler University. Her daughter, Patricia, and I graduated from high school together from Broad Ripple in Indpls.
I will be going to the 50th Reunion June 13-15 and am looking forward to seeing Pat(ty) Watson ? ... I still have her mother's obituary from when Katy died our senior year of High School. I never knew how to contact Patty to send it to her when I found it in mother's things ... now I can take it if I can find what I did with it. :)
Anyhow, if this is a branch you are interested in, I can tell Pat and put her in contact with you.
Let me know either way --- we'll leave home 6/10+ to drive to Indpls.

I am a BUTZ and DIEHL descendant who had been looking for my Evansville BUTZ family for years. I was told that they were from Pennsylvania to Evansville and that part of the family had gone to Chicago and started a company that made things out of wood.
Well, they had not gone from Pa to Ind., but Pa to Naperville, Illinois where I have taught for 34 years! My 3rd grt grandfather (BUTZ) is buried across the street from the school administration center. I had never heard of Naperville until I began working there.
I am also a descendant of Jacob DIEHL, AmRev from Pa. The school where I worked is 2 blocks from DIEHL Rd.
The BUTZ family--Edwin--m. into the Conrad REITZ family.
Conrad was born in the French Alps region of Prussia and was orphaned at age 7. His parents and some siblings died of the Black Plague. The children were brought down from the mountains and he and a couple of sisters were sponsored to come to America by a family in Evansville, Ind., possibly the famed Reitz family , presumably an uncle.
Conrad was first married to Emma "Lilly" with whom he had 4 children. Upon her death he married her sister Sadhre Butz, a twin of Mame Butz. Conrad and Sadhre had 2 children.
Worked in a shoe factory during the day and was a train dispatcher at night. His wife took in boarders and they lived on the NE side of Evansville,Ind.
According to family oral history Conrad's father died about the time Conrad was born.--Muriel Anschicks-Thompson.
