Adam beard established a home and spent the rest of his life in Mason County. He first lived on a plot of ground on the Pond Branch Road, Southside, W. Va., on the land where Mason County 4-H camp is situated today. After living there several years, he bought a tract of land on Shady Fork Branch of Little Sixteen Creek. He built a log home on this land and lived there the remainder of his days. The farm was bought from his heirs by the Viers family and Susan Viers Fisher lives today in the house that he built. His wife preceded him in death August 29, 1870, and he died March 30, 1872. both he and his wife were laid to rest in the Viers Chapel Cemetery that was located on their farm. Adam Beard was industrious and worked hard to make a living for his family. He was respected highly by all his family and neighbors. These sterling qualities of manhood were handed down to his children and their descendants. Some of his children stayed and reared their families in a radius of 50 miles from Southside, W. Va, but others moved away and the family has been scattered all over these United States. (Source: "The History of Adam Beard and His Descendants" by Irene Beard, 1952)	Adam Beard

Keller, Dead On Sunday morning, January 28, 1912, John M. Keller died at the home of his son Henry Keller, north of town. Two weeks ago, Uncle John as the deceased was generally and familiarly known, slipped on the icy ground, striking on the back of his head with such force as to cause concusion of the brain and which finally terminated in his death. Uncle John Keller was a kindly old man, who was a friend to everybody and every- body was his friend. He was an industrious hardworking man all his life, and while it was not his fortune to accumulate much of this world's goods, he leaves a heritage for his children of having been an upright, industrious, honest man, and a good citizen. John M. Keller was born Jan. 21, 1836, died Jan. 28, 1912, aged 76 years, 7 days. He leaves to mourn his death his widow, six children, one brother and one sister, who are Mrs. Jane Keller, Mrs. A. L. Duncan, H. S. Keller, Henry P. Keller, and Mrs. J. D. Amsberry, of Mason City, and Mrs. C. E. Wills, of Ashland, Willard Keller of Grand Island, and his brother Geo. W. Keller of Taylorville, Ill., 82 years old and the sister Eliza Bottles, of New Amsterdam, Ind., 79 years old. The deceased spent the greater part of his life on his mother's farm near New Amsterdam, Ind., where he was born, his father and his youngest brother having died in his early boyhood leaving him the main care of the farm, his older brothers having taken up the work of the ministry which necessarily took them away from home. He was married to Jane Weaver Nov. 24, 1864. He moved with his family to Eastern Nebraska in 1881 soon after his mother's death, where he engaged in farming until 1892, when he removed to Custer county, taking up farming again, which he followed until a few years ago, retiring on account of advancing years. He will be remembered as a loving husband, kind and affectionate father and close friend to all. Funeral services were held at the Christian church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. J. W. Patterson, pastor of the Baptist church, conducting the services.	John Muck Keller
7	Alexander Leckie McGregor was born in Bonhill, County of Dumbarton, Scotland May 15, 1860. He came to the United States in his early 20's and settled in Cleveland, Ohio. He worked for R.S. Scourey. He met Hattie Berrington and they were married October 5, 1887 at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Cleveland. Their three children were born in Cleveland. Bruce Roy September 2, 1888, Margaret (Maggie) Dolzell May 13, 1891, and Isabel McIntyre August 17, 1893. When the children were all small they moved to Poland, Maine where his brother Andrew worked for N.Q. Pope, a horse breeder. The name of the farm was White Oak Hill Farm. Alexander became the manager. Mr. Pope sold some of his horses and farm equipment. He then sent Alexander to veterinary school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He graduated March 24, 1898. Mr. Pope was going to set Alexander up in veterinary business in Lewiston, Maine, but Mr. Pope died. He stayed and worked for Mrs. Pope until the farm was sold. He returned to Cleveland and worked for Dr. Street until he came to California. The family first moved to Oakland in 1901. He worked with his brother, Bruce, who was caretaker of Oakland Cemetery. Through a lawyer friend of Bruce, he learned that the Collins Ranch on the west side fo the Santa Clara River needed a ranch manager. They came to Piru in June, 1901. The family lived in a hotel in Piru for a short time, then moved to the Collins Ranch. While on the Collins Ranch, Alexander purchased property from Lorraine P. Guiberson, John Collins, J.H. Sloan, Samuel Guiberson, and W.P. Hammon. This formed the McGregor Ranch on Guiberson Rd. and Cavin Rd. On many maps the road east of Cavin was McGregor Rd, but finally it was all named Guiberson Rd. Bruce, Margaret, and Isabel attended the Cienaga School. On June 5, 1912, Bruce Roy McGregor and Eva May Root were married in Ventura, California. They purchased the McGregor Ranch from Alexander and Hattie. Alexander and Hattie lived on the Boardman Ranch on the corner of C St. and Sespe Ave. for awhile. They also lived at 421 Fillmore St. before they moved to Placerita Canyon, near Newhall, California. Alexander did practice as a veterinarian. He took care of the work horses for Union Oil on the Torrey Lease. He gave up the veterinary as people would not pay him. Margaret married George Berrington on March 10, 1910. They purchased the ranch that Alexander had managed for several years. They raised their family there: Bruce, Albert, Maybelle, George, and James. Albert and James still own part of this ranch. Isabel and Lacy Shaffer were married on September 20, 1919. He had homesteaded some property along the Santa Clara River below the Berrington Ranch. He sold this to Bruce and Eva McGregor in 1920. Isabel and Lacy settled in Canoga Park where they ranched and raised two daughters, Louise and Isabel. The original McGregor Ranch was olives, apricots and a small alfalfa field. Later he planted lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. There was a time they raised lima beans and tomatoes between the young trees. At the time of the St. Francis Dam break, March 13, 1928, they suffered a great loss, as many ranchers did, but repairs and replanting was taken care of by Los Angeles City. Bruce and Eva raised their four children on this ranch: Alexander Bruce, Harold Edward, Luceal Harriet, and Margaret Anna. In 1937 Bruce and Eva purchased 5 acres from George and Maggie Berrington on the south side of Guiberson Rd., east of the home place. Here they build a new home. Bruce managed the ranch until October, 1958, when he passed away. Harold then managed the ranch. In June 1967 the ranch was sold to Mrs. Batten. Alexander B. McGregor passed away on December 22, 1980. Harold and his wife Ella (Long) live in Sheridan, Montana, where he ran a cattle ranch from June, 1968 to December, 1978. He is now retired. Luceal and her husband Leland Lewis owned and managed a grocery store in Sheridan, Montana from September, 1972 to December, 1978. They have recently returned to California and live in Santa Paula. Margaret and her husband Elmer Schueler live in Rushford, Minnesota where they have a mink and Hereford farm.

Louise remembers spending many enjoyable visits to her grandparents' Placerita Canyon ranch. He would take her to get an Ice Cream Soda at the soda fountain while her grandmother would do the grocery shopping. Louise remembers bringing soup to "Old Mac," a miner who came to Placerita canyon, but never made any money. He lived in a shack in the McGregor property. Old Mac was not very tidy and Louise remembers he had ants crawling in his beard. He was such a good friend to the McGregors that they burried him in the family plot when he died. He was friends with William S. Hart.

The area is situated just a few miles north of the town of Dumbarton and contains various communities tied into one conurbation. The largest of these communities is the town of Alexandria, which sits on the Western bank of the Leven. Alexandria is connected to Renton in the South and to Balloch in the North. Across the river from Alexandria is Bonhill which is connected to Jamestown to the North. The area is traditionally industrial, but with the decline of manufacturing in Scotland has had to look to new areas for employment. The industrial past of the area gave it a radical reputation, with Communism and Socialism being popular political philosiphies in particular. In modern years the Scottish National Party has performed quite well in the area. The areas name lends itself to Alexandria's local football club, Vale of Leven FC and secondary school, Vale of Leven Academy.

11	Aunt Annie had twelve brothers and was the only girl in her family. Her niece Louise remembers Annie asking what she wanted to do when she grew up. Louise said she wanted to marry a farmer and have lots of kids. Aunt Annie threw up her arms and said, "Oh!" She never married. She lived with her brother and sister-in-law, Alex and Hattie, in Placerita Canyon. After Alex died, she lived with Hattie for the rest of her life.	Annie Bruce McGregor
12	Baldwin, Caleb, one of the early Elders of the Church, was born Sept. 2, 1791, at Nobletown, Orange co., New York. He served as an ensign under Captain Chas. Parker in the war of 1812. Becoming a convert to "Mormonism" he was baptized Nov. 14, 1830, by Parley P. Pratt. Soon afterwards he gathered with the early saint to Jackson county, Mo., and took part in the so-called battle on the Big Blue. In 1833 he was driven out of Jackson county with the rest of the saints, and subsequently settled in Caldwell county, Mo. In the fall of 1838 he was arrested on a trumped up charge and shared a prison cell with the Prophet Joseph Smith and others at Liberty, Clay co., Mo., during the winter of 1838–39. When the prisoners were detected in trying to make their escape by cutting a hole through the wall of the goal, and Judge Tillery was about to have them ironed and chained to the floor of their cells, Bro. Baldwin said to the judge: "Judge Tillery! If you put these chains on me, I will kill you, so help me God." The judge left without putting on the chains. Bro. Baldwin emigrated to Great Salt Lake Valley in the year 1848 and died in Salt Lake City June 11, 1849. (from: LDS Biographical Encyclopedia: A Compilation of Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Salt Lake City, UT: Andrew Jenson History Co., 1901.) _______________________________________________________________________ Another version of how they got out of jail: There is even good reason to believe that Governor Boggs himself was privy to their escape, and doubtless had a hand in the planning for it. At any rate such in effect was the statement of Samuel Tillery, the jailor at Liberty, to the prisoners about the time Sidney Rigdon was admitted to bail. He told the prisoners that Governor Boggs was heartily ashamed of the whole transaction against the "Mormons," and would be glad to set the prisoners free if only "he dared to do it." "But," said Tillery to the prisoners, "you need not be concerned, for the governor has laid a plan for your release." Tillery also said that Judge Burch had been instructed to so fix the papers that the prisoners would be clear from any incumbrances in a very short time. All which is so very like what took place with respect to the escape of the prisoners; as also with what would most likely be the views of Governor Boggs when he found that the treatment of the "Mormons" in Missouri was bringing so much reproach upon his administration, that his connivance at the escape of Joseph Smith and his associates was very likely. (from: Roberts, Brigham H. Comprehensive History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1830 - 1930,, - Vol. I-VII (7). ) _______________________________________________________________________ A third version: They were chained together and fed on human flesh in prison by their Christian guards, and he continued to suffer with his brethren until April 15, 1839, when he started with Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Alex. McRae and Caleb Baldwin and guard, to go to jail in Columbia, Boone county, but on the night of the 16th, the sheriff fell asleep, the guard got drunk, and the prisoners left them, and went to their families and friends in Illinois. (from: LDS Biographical Encyclopedia: A Compilation of Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Salt Lake City, UT: Andrew Jenson History Co., 1901.) _______________________________________________________________________ More: ...After the saints had left Clay County, Joseph Smith the Prophet, his brother Hyrum, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wright, Alexander McRae, and Caleb Baldwin were incarcerated on trumped-up charges in the Liberty Jail during the winter of 1838-39, awaiting trial, which never took place. (from: Clay County in Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, UT: Deseret News Publishing Co., 1941. ) _______________________________________________________________________ The case of Samuel Brown In 1834 Samuel Brown chastens the Mormon church leadership for speaking against the Methodists. In a church trial to determine the status of Samuel Brown, "Caleb Baldwin testifies that Brother Brown said missionaries should not preach that the world in darkness, for they were not. He said he could not preach against the Methodists." His wife Nancy Baldwin and his son Caleb Clark Baldwin also testify, supporting Caleb's statements. Samuel Brown is forced to surrender his licenses of eldership and high priest. Brown is told to repent or be kicked out of the church altogether.

13	Caleb Clark Baldwin and Eliza Robinson Baldwin by Wallace R. Baldwin from http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/torikline/baldgen/calebc.htm Caleb Clark Baldwin, was born 03 Jun 1817 at Warrensville Cuyahoga,Ohio. He was the 2nd child and first son born to Caleb Baldwin and Nancy Kingsbury. He was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 01 Jan 1831. On 29 Oct 1837 he married Ann Eliza ROBINSON daughter of George ROBINSON and Mary LOCH at Far West, Missouri. Ann Eliza was born 15 Aug 1819 in Monroe, Ouchita, Louisiana. At the time his father immigrated to Utah in 1848, Caleb Clark was in government service in Missouri. He immigrated to Utah with his family in 1852. At that time his family consisted of four sons and two daughters. In the fall of 1852 the family settled in Provo, Utah. They had only been there a short time when the youngest boy named George Henry Baldwin died. Three children were born while they lived in Provo. One daughter and two sons. The family endured many trying experiences with the Indians. One story is told of a time they were hunting for roots, when they caught sight of an Indian skulking through the trees. They hid themselves in the underbrush and waited. All night they remained in their hiding place. At dawn the Indians finally left and the family was able to return to their home. During the year of 1865, Caleb Clark BALDWIN was called by Brigham Young to help settle an area called the Muddy, which later became the town of St. Thomas. By this time the sons had grown enough to be a big help to their parents. The family sold everything they owned in preparation for leaving. The "Muddy Valley" located in the southern part of Clark County, Nevada was in the very southeastern tip of Nevada. In December 1870 the people voted to abandon the settlements because of the taxes levied against them by the State of Nevada. After some time Caleb Clark was released from his mission, so that he might bring his wife back to receive medical attention. She was very ill so she stayed with here daughters in Mona, Juab, Utah. She died in Mona 11 Feb 1873 at the age of 64. She was buried in Provo, Utah, Utah. Caleb Clark Baldwin died in Beaver, Beaver, Utah at the age of 88 on 02 Jan 1905. He and his sons helped settle Beaver, Utah after they left the "Muddy".	Caleb Clark Baldwin

18	Eight children were born to Byron and Rebecca Shaffer. She died in childbirth and the three youngest children, Lacy, Mabel and Ralph, were placed in the McKinley Home for Orphans in Los Angeles for a few years. Byron sent for a mail order bride, named Maggie, and after they were married he brought Lacy, Mabel and Ralph home. (Note: when Byron and Maggie were small children, he lived in Vinton, Iowa and she lived in southern Iowa. Could the families have known each other? If so, it calls into doubt the mail-order bride story.) Byron then went off to Alaska with one of his brothers to seek his fortune in the gold rush there. At one point he and the brother built a boat to cross a lake. Another gold seeker came along bought the boat. Before they knew it they were in the boat building business! They never did mine gold. Byron was very religious and was known to be a "holy roller" (talking in tongues, etc.), probably a member of the Assemby of God. In his later years, in Santa Cruz, he was a member of the Glad Tidings Assembly. The records don't quite agree on his middle name, where he was born, and when. Family bible: Byron Alson Shaffer b.

24	Found the following obituary on Ancestry.com. It's from the Pella Chronicle, Marion Co., Iowa. Mrs. Josiah Adams Pella, April 11.- Mrs. Celia Graham was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, Oct. 17, 1813, and died in Pella, Iowa, Marion County, April 9, 1900, aged 86 years, 5 months, and 22 days. Early in life she experienced religion and United with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which communion she remained a faithful member through all the years of pilgrimage. For more than three score and 10 years she walked in the faith and comfort of the gospel, having respect unto the recompense of the reward. March 7, 1833, she was united in marriage with Josiah Adams. For 65 years they journeyed together, sharing each others joys and sorrows. Mr. Adams died two years ago. They were among the pioneers of Marion county, having settled at Knoxville in 1852. At that time there was no railroad west of the Mississippi river, and only a small part of the young state was occupied by settlers. The last few years of her life were years of deep affliction. Intellectual clouds and darkness were about her, but to her doubtless was verified the promise; "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers,they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle up to thee. Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by name; thou art mine," Her funeral services were conducted at the family home by Rev. J.C. Kendrick, of the M.E. church, assisted by Rev. Peck, of the Baptist church. Her remains were conveyed to the family burying ground near Durham. Hattie and Maggie Adams desire to express their gratitude to the kind friends who so nobly assisted them during the recent affliction and death of their mother. Words seem formal but bereaved hearts appreciate and extend to all grateful remembrance.	Celia Graham

27	From "A Family History: Thompson and Berrington" by Connie Thompson, 1972. Also from U.S. Census records, and Cuyahoga County Court records: Joseph came to the states in November of 1851 with his sister Mary and Mary's two children. They joined Mary's husband, John Thompson. Joseph married John's sister Mary Thompson on March 10, 1858. They had one child: Charles. Mary died in 1862. On March 02, 1864 Joseph married Margaret Dalzell, who was a widow with one child name William. The 1880 census shows them living at 111 Birch St. (now West 50th St., between Franklin and Bridge) with Margaret and 5 more children: Hattie, Samuel, John, Jessie, and Ella. Joseph remained close to John and Mary Thompson and in 1880 helped them build a log home in Middelburg Heights, Ohio. The 1910 census shows him living with his daughter Ella and her husband George Austin. He died in 1916 in Middleburg. Note: Below is date of birth shows as May 11, 1828, but his death certificate says May 11, 1827. _____________________________________________________________________________ I found the following in Luceal McGregor Lewis' files: Luceal's notes: I do not know who G.H. is. This paper was with the ones that Frank Berrington had written. Sounds as though there were two children in Joseph Parrish Berrington’s marriage to Mary Thompson. I wonder if she died of childbirth. They were married 4 years according to the paper written by Frank and he married again very shortly. The paper: "Joseph P. Berrington" was born May 11, 1828 at Bedfordshire, England - and passed away January 12, 1916 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ella Austin. Mr. Berrington came to this country while a very young man and made his home with a sister who resided at Middleburg, Ohio, and while there he assisted them in the clearing of their land. In the year 1858, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Thompson, who died four years later. Two children were born to them, one of whom survives, Charles Berrington, of Cleveland, Ohio. After four years, Mr. Berrington again married to Miss Margaret Dozell of Cleveland, and resided for twenty some years at West 50th Street, Cleveland. Five children were born of this marriage, all of whom are living. Mrs. Hattie McGregor of Fillmore, California. Mr. Samuel Berrington of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. John Berrington of Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Jessie Kinghorn of Cleveland Ohio, and Mrs. Ella Austin at whose home the father resided for the last fifteen years, and it was from there he passed into the "Great Beyond." Sixteen grand-children and four great grand children survive this much beloved grand-father. He was an example of patience to all those who watched him in his last days - when he sat in the open, watching the birds, and gathering all the happiness he could from nature and his surroundings. His appreciation of little courtesies were very great, and although he did not hear all that was spoken to him, his face beamed with joy when there was an expression he could catch and respond to. He was to be about with activity until four days before he peacefully slept away. At all times since he has made his home with this daughter was he given most tender love and watchful care by her and the kind husband and daughter, who spared nothing to give him all the comforts they were able to bestow upon him, sharing all that they possessed with him; and with all this, there was that kind of affection that helps lighten the load when the years grew large in number. While these changes seem hard to meet, may we be able to see beyond it that God's Love still protects and cares for those passed from us, - "as he did before," and will guide us into paths of peace that passeth all understanding. G.H.	Joseph Parrish Berrington

Adams-Pella, Iowa Henrietta (Adams) Miller-Knoxville, Iowa Peter M. Adams-Carus, Oregon Maggie Adams-Pella, Iowa James F. Adams Submitter Information: Date: Fri Nov 24, 2000 ___________________________________________________________ From a posting on Ancestry.com: Josiah Adams Died,at his home in Pella, Sunday evening,March 27,1898, Josiah Adams. He was born in the state of Delaware on June 5,1807, and was there-fore 90 years, 9 months, and 23 days old at the time of his death. When 8 years of age he with is parents moved to Ross county, Ohio, near Chillicothe. Here he grew to manhood, and at the age of twenty-six married Miss Celia Graham, March 7, 1833. About 1848 they moved to New London,Henry County, Iowa and in 1852 moved to Marion county, Iowa, In 1835 he became identified with the Methodist Episcopal church and was one of the pioneer workers of the Salem class near Durham. He was a great advocate for the Sunday school. His wife was converted and united with the M.E. church in early woman-hood, and in about one year after marriage Bro. Adams was converted and very soon afterward became a member of the same church. We can for a moment allow our minds to follow Bro. Adams from early Manhood down along the years to the time he was called away. We can say in all confidence that no more striking instance of sterling charactor, strong mindeness, strict integrity and honesty of purpose has been presented to our notice. These characteristics presented themselves in all his dealings with his neighbors and all others with whom he came in contact, and as steadfastness of purpose and determined conscientious uprightness stood out prominently in all pertaining to worldly pursuits, so the same traits manifested themselves in relation to his religious sentiments; and for all the years from the date of his conversion down to the time that afflictions came upon him, the church never found a more constant attendant, a truer friend or a more cheerful supporter. For many long years, not-withstanding the perplexities, responsibilities and discouragements of a pioneer life, he never lost sight of the church work that fell to his share, but on the other hand with a persistence that called forth the respect and admiration of both church member and non-professor alike, he steadily and without shrinking discharged those duties, and with a trusting heart was even ready to exclaim, "I know in whom I have believed!" His long life reaches back through some of the most stirring times of our republic, having had a father in the war of 1812, father and brother in the war with Mexico, and three sons in the union ranks during the late rebellion. Eleven children, four daughters and seven sons, were born to this worthy couple, of whom two sons and one daughter have preceded him to the other shore. His aged and loving companion survives him, being now eighty-four. Their married life has been a little more than sixty-five years. The children who survive him are as follows; Wm. Adams, Garden Grove,Iowa; Joseph C. Adams, Oregon; John W. Adams, Monroe,Iowa; Hattie C.Adams,of Pella,Iowa; Mrs. Henrietta Miller, Knoxville,Iowa; Peter McVay Adams, Carus Oregon; and Maggie Adams, Pella,Iowa. For sometime past he had requested that the text used should be taken from Job 14-14; "All the days of my appointed time I wait till my changes comes," and the hymns shold be "Nearer my god to thee," "Jesus Lover of my soul," and "Rock of ages." The funeral was conducted at the residence March 29, by his pastor, Rev. C.H. Westfalt, assisted by Dr. A.B. Chaffee, Dr. Stoddard, and Rev. C.L. Coster. The interment took place in the family lot in Eureka Cemetery.	Josiah Adams

31	Graduated in 1947 from South High School in Salt Lake City. According to Wikipedia: "A high school no longer extant—South High School, on State Street—once served the southern part of Salt Lake City. The district built this school during the depression to accommodate about 1000 students from the private LDS High School, which closed in 1931. Located in what became a business district by the 1980s, falling enrollment prompted the district to close South High after the 1987-1988 school year. The district donated the school building to the Salt Lake Community College." In his High School Annual he wrote his address: 1216 Charlton Ave. After graduating, he entered the Army. After that he attended college. Owned and operated a service station in Salt Lake City. Paul, Waneta and Paulette moved to California in 1958 where he became an aerospace engineer. Worked for Litton for a number of years. Invented a device that deployed the reentry parachute for the Apollo spacecraft. On the design team for the ring laser gyro.	Paul Fenimore Roberts

36	He was born in Lisburn, (Northern) Ireland. As a young man, he came to Paris to visit his sisters who were attending a boarding school there. He met and fell in love with Marie Anna Labbé, who owned the school. They were separated during the Siege of Paris, she in Paris and he in London. The 1871 census shows he was living with his parents in St. Martin, Westminster and it shows his occupation as "porter, out of employ." In the next two or three years, Thomas went back to Paris and married Marie. He taught English in Paris. Thomas and Marie had four children there. He then married Bathilde (per a note I received from Jane Bathilde Robinson on one of the Ancestry forums - I have no proof of this). He died at 12 Beckwith Rd., Dulwich, (South London), England. His daughter Jeanne was living at the same address. His occupation was listed as "former commercial traveler."

38	I found the following note on Margaret Dalzell's family group sheet from Luceal McGregor Lewis' files: "widow one son William." So far I have not found any other information about her, other than her marriage and death records. Neither one gives the name of her parents. Alternate spellings of her maiden name: Dozell, Dalzel, Bozell Note that James Armstrong Thome was a well-known anti-slavery Presbyterian minister in Cleveland at the time Joseph and Margaret were married. This is probably the same J. A. Thome who signed their marriage certificate.

44	Lacy was one of eight children born to Byron and Rebecca Shaffer. She died in childbirth and the three youngest children, Lacy, Maybell and Ralph, were placed in the McKinley Home for Orphans in Los Angeles for a few years. Lacy said that his father got the kids out of the orphanage as soon as they were old enough to work. Byron sent for a mail order bride and after they were married he brought Lacy, Mabell and Ralph home. Byron then went off to Alaska to seek his fortune in the gold rush there. Lacy married Isabel and they lived in Fillmore, California. Louise was born in Fillmore in 1916. In 1919, shortly after the Owens Valley aqueduct brought water to the San Fernando Valley, the couple moved from Fillmore by horse and wagon to their newly purchased ranch on Mason Avenue in Owensmouth (now known as Canoga Park). Although he only had a 6th grade education, he had a lot of knowledge. When he wanted to do taxidermy he got a book from the library and figured out how to do it. He designed a horse-powered threshing machine to thresh beans. When some perch came into the bathtub from the aqueduct water he built a fish pond for them and they grew the fish to full size. The ranch was farmed until 1955, at which time it was sold for housing development, including the area of Sunnybrae Elementary School. Lacy still kept a grape vineyard on the remaining land. They sold the grapes to the Isabella grape juice company. In the 1960s their vineyard was to isolated from other agriculture and he was unable to sell the grapes. After that he and Isabel sold the grapes on a U-Pick basis.	Lacy Elmer Shaffer
45	Lee was an alcoholic. On March 19, 1914 he shot his wife, Maggie, and then killed himself. Maggie recovered. Leo and Audrey went to live with their uncle Lacy Shaffer for five years.	Lee Russell
46	Lewis was adopted. One family story says that Lewis was the product of an affair between Helen and another man. The 1900 and 1910 census seem to support this. In 1900 Helen ("Ellen") was shown as not having any children. In 1910 she was shown as the mother of one child, still alive and the relationship of Lewis to Ed Roberts is adopted. Ed Martin Roberts and Helen Bagley were listed as parents on the record of Lewis' marriage to Clara. He wrote a sports column for a Grand Island Nebraska newspaper, and later for the Long Beach Independant. The California death index on Ancestry.com lists his year of birth as 1904.

48	Louise was born in Fillmore, California. She remembers that her father drove a car, but farmed with a team of horses. They had a hand-powered washing machine that they bought at the Ventura County Fair. When they moved to Canoga Park Lacy drove the family and their posessions in the car and then came back to for the horses. Her dad bought a 1924 Dodge and it was their first "closed in" car. It was a touring car that had a fabric top that they could put on when it rained. The seats could fold completely flat and the family would sleep on them when they went camping. In cold weather they would heat water and pour it over the manifold to make the car easier to start. Louise remembers her grandfather Alex teasing her father, "Are you sure you can get them home in that thing?" Lacy's answer was, "I've got a wrench and a wheelbarrow. We'll make it!" She fondly remembered family get-togethers at "the Lake" and visiting her grandparents (Alexander and Hattie McGregor) in Placerita Canyon. After Alex died, Hattie would take Louise, Harold, and Bert for a week at a time. They would go down to the river and bury each other in the sand. When the farm workers came to pick walnuts, they would hang around the campfires and the workers would give them Mexican food. The 1941 L.A. City directory lists her as a nurse working at General Hospital and living in Canoga Park. She served as an Army nurse in WWII. Was stationed in Llandudno, England during the war. The nurses slept in a "manor house" and all the latrines and medical facilities were in tents. They only had one bathtub, in a tent, for all the nurses. They were allowed one bath every five days. The nurses had practice drills in case of attack. They drilled climbing down a ladder from the third floor. In case of aerial attack the nurses were supposed to disperse into the hills, but instead they all ran together to the same place. After the war was over she was transferred to Bremerhaven, Germany. She recalls spending 5 days on a train riddled with bullet holes. Once the nurses arrived they treated the starving POWs until they could be evacuated.	Louise Shaffer
49	Margaret had evidently not married until 1904. According to family stories she was a mail-order bride. She was cremated by the state and buried in a common grave at Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura.	Margaret Jane Adams
