I emailed you earlier tonight but not sure if you got it or not and then I found this message... My husband's 3rd great grandmother was Susan Snider/Snyder... She was a sibling to John Warren Snider/Snyder... Their parents were Abraham Snyder/Snider and Elizabeth Craig... Still searching on a marriage date for them... I just started searching this line and found two of the Snyder kids settled in Christian. John and Susan's sister (just one of their siblings) Nancy married Jacob Kline in Jersey County and they settled in Christian County also... I am glad I found your post... I was looking for death dates of John and Louina Jane... I can't find John in the 1920 census so I thought maybe he died pre 1920-- Do you have him in the 1920 census somewhere? Thanks for the info and let me know if you want any of the info on other siblings... I have quite a bit as far as kids and census records... Like I said I just started researching this side so haven't got much more than census and children right now... Hope to hear from you!! Juls _________________ Hello... Just read your post on ancestry... I have birth and death dates for John Warren Snyder's parents also and have pics of their stones... they are buried about a quarter of a mile from my house... Here are the children of Abraham Snyder and Elizabeth Craig (who was born in North Carolina)... Susan-b. 1832 (my hubby's 3rd great grandmother) Nancy b. 1836 mrd. Jacob Kline 10 Feb 1859 James b. 1838 md. Rebecca ??? (can't find a marriage for them) Hannah b. 1840 md. George Marion Piggott John b. 1842 md. Louina Jane 9 Oct 1866 George b. 1848 Catharine b. 1850 (I think March of 1850) Joseph b. 1852 md. possibly Mary E. Buckley on 18 Jul 1872 Abner b. 1857 mrd. Mary Isabell East on 6 Nov 1881 All the marriages listed happened in Jersey County, IL... I am having some trouble with finding George and Catharine but just started so many more rocks to be turned over... LOL So far I have only found John being in Civil War... Abner and his wife are buried at Hardin Cemetery, Hardin, Calhoun, Illinois... Will be taking pics soon I also believe James and Rebecca are buried there also... I am waiting on my friend to get home from her weekend away with her hubby to look in the cemetery book for Calhoun County... I am wondering if Nancy and Jacob Kline are buried in Morrisonville Cemetery also like John and Jane are??? Okay once I get everything into my program I will send you the program... Glad to meet you!! Juls From Susan to Hannah or John were born in Smith Co., TN... The rest in IL... I "thought" John was born in TN but according to the Illinois Civil War Detail Report says he was born in Mt. Vernon, Jefferson Co, IL... Funny thing about Hannah... Susan married Dr. James A Piggott... Dr. James was married before and had 4 children... one being George Piggott... Hannah married George last 1860's.. So Susan was George's step son but also her brother-in-law... Hannah and George (husband) and one of their adult children are also buried at the cemetery near here... George and Hannah had a set of twins that died as little ones who are also listed to be buried at the same cemetery... Need to stop by there this week and see if their stones are still there.. _________________ May 2 2007 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html this is the il site that has marriages death and a lot of other records maybe it will help you. _____________________ May 3, 2007 John W Snider d nov 10,1925 age 83 mrs john snider died july 13,1914 age 70 Also a Irene age 27, Joseph,ZRichard,Sara,William all in Morrisonville cemtery.

| 34321 | [A Snider-from Julie Goheen.FTW] ONLY WANTED TO FRIGHTEN HIS WIFE ----- IS NEIGHBORS BELIEF. ----- Jeff Armstrong Commit- ted Suicide By Drinking Carbolic Acid and Alcohol. ----- J. N. Armstrong, better known as Jeff Armstrong, committed suicide Wednesday night by drink ing four ounces of a mixture of alcho[sic]- hol and carbolic acid which he had prepared for h im by a druggist down town after 9 oclock last night. The mixture was three parts alcohol an d one part carbolic acid. It is said and the surdenness[sic] with which it caused death i s a surprise, considering the well know fact that usually carbolic acid, does not kill when t he person drinking it has been drinking liquor or alchohol[sic] of any kind at the same time. Mr. Armstrong, who is 69 years old, has been employed at the brick yard for some time and yes terday afternoon, according to his wife, returned home saying he had had trouble with the sup erintendent and that he would go down town and get another job. He did go down town and retur ned to his home at 2607 State Street in an ex- cited or intoxicated condition, Mrs. Armstron g says. Some quarreling followed and he threatened to commit suicide and asked her for the ca rbolic acid bottle. She told him it was empty. He asked George Rain if he had any of the aci d and later said he would go down town and buy some. Mrs. Armstrong followed him to town, hop ing to pre- vent him obtaining the poison but failed to locate him after he left. About 11 o clock last night he returned home and asked her to let him in. She delayed a little in goin g down stairs and he urged her to open the door as it would be the last time he would eve r ask her to do this for him. After he entered the house, he told her good bye, then turne d a bottle containing about one fourth of an ounce of the mixture to his mouth. She at- tempt ed to knock the bottle from his lips but failed and he turned to walk out the front door. H e pitched forward and lay quiet with his head outside the door, the remainder of his body ins ide. Mrs. Armstrong screamed and ran across the street to the residence of Dr. J. E. Watson a nd he responded quickly. He found Mr. Armstrong dead. Coroner Streeper was notified and will hold an inquest this evening or tomorrow. Mr. Armstron g leaves his wife and two children, Mr. Wm. Herman of Upper Alton and Mrs. John Gill of Oklah oma. The funeral will not be held until Mrs. Gill can get to Alton, and until Mr. Herman an d a grandchild of the de- ceased can arrive from the north. It is thought the funeral will b e held Sunday. Dr. Watson thinks that Mr. Arm- strong took four ounces of the mixture in four doses and th e the one his wife saw him drinking was the last dose. If that were all he drank of it Dr. Wa tson thinks the result would not be fatal. It is the opinion of many people that Jeff intended only to frighten his wife and had no in tention of killing himself. And it is urged that is why he had carbolic acid and alchohol[sic ] mixed, relying on the counter influences of these fluids to save him. He was overcome by th e heat about ten days ago while at work and was affected more or less since. He returned to w ork the day after being prostrated, against the advice of his physician and his friends and t he heat again affected him. It is likely that the inquest or an autopsy if one be held, wil l know that some- thing else than carbolic acid caused his deathsomething like heart diseas e super induced by alchohol[sic] or the prostrating effects of the heat- stroke he suffered. Mr. Armstrong was well known in Jersey, Calhoun and Madison Counties and he had hundreds of f riends to whom the announcement of his tragic death will be a shock. He was honest, industrio us, charitable and great hearted and there is no one who knew him but will regret it. He has a sister at McCluskey, Jersey County and another one living in Peoria. Physicians and druggists alike are rather positive in stating that Mr. Armstrongs death coul d not have been caused by the combination drink of carbolic acid and alcohol, and they say h e must have taken some other kind of poison or else the collapse was caused by weak heart act ion or some other cause. Deceased had the reputation of being the best laborer in this part of the country and employe rs were always willing to pay him twenty-five cents a day more for his labor than they paid o thers. His age and gray tufts were no hindrances to his obtaining employment. Employers sough t his services, and his credit rating was very high for a laborer.

Alton Telegraph 8 Aug 1912 page 7 DAUGHTER FOUND TELEPHONE SUCCEEDSTELEGRAPH FAILS Efforts to Locate Mrs. John Gill, Daughter of J.N. Armstrong, By Telegraph Failed. Because she had sent two telegraphic messages to Oklahoma, advising her daughter, Mrs. John G ill of the tragic death of her father, J.N. Armstrong without receiving a reply, Mrs. Armstro ng Saturday decided to try and get connection with the Gill home about thirty miles from Musk ogee, Okla., over a telephone. Dr. J.E. Watson made the trial for her over his Bell Telephon e and soon succeeded in getting John Gill himself on the phone at the other end. They had rec eived neither of the two telegraphic messages sent from here and did not know of Mr. Armstron gs death until Dr. Watson told him that morning. Mr. Gill urged that the funeral be delaye d until he and his wife can get here and he said they would start.

| 34353 | [Addressed to: Miss Electa Moor, Juliet, Will County, Ill, probably late February, 1841 or 1842.] Dear children, I now write to let you know that we are well. Owing to the cold weather we did not arrive at Andover till the eighth day. We met with no accident, but suffered severely with the cold, but did not quite freeze. We found Morrison and Mary living in the company house. They had been expecting us a long time. Our house was not done so we had to move in with them; not very convenient. Mary was invited and accordingly went to a splendid party at xxx Thompson's for the purpose of celebrating Gen. Washington's birthday. Morrison has bought a quarter section of land at Red Oak Grove with a small house on it to which they will move the first of April, so he will not go to Missouri this year, but says he shall before a great while. After paying for his land he will have his mare, six oxen, one cow and calf, twelve hens left. The distance from us is eight miles. Morrison and Mary, your father and I have been to Rock Island, found the market very poor. English goods high and had hard work to get a shilling per pound for butter, brought our cheese back, bought nothing worth mentioning. When the boats come with goods will be cheaper and more plentyful. If Eliza has money she had better buy all her little articles at Juliet [Joliet] for there's not much of a store kept here. She had better fetch her coverlet yarn too and get it woven at Richland Grove. Your father and Reubin work like niggers at splitting rails and have got almost done. They have neither of them spent an hour of needless time since we came here, and I am making shirts for the boys. We feel a great deal of anxiety about you and especially at night all the rest are asleep. The boys must take good care of everything or Dan will not get that black lamb. Electa, your father says you must take care of the pork and if the brine gets out put in more water and salt. I wish you would twist all the stocking yarn for there is not a wheel within ten miles of this xxx. Mary wrote us a letter long ago, which she expected we had received before we left home. If it's in the post office now let it stay there. I want you should write as soon as you get this. Write everything about everybody, about the calves, lambs, and everything else. I want to see you all and especially that poor little thing. Give my love to Mrs. Waldrum [?] and family, to William, Mrs. Hartshorn [?], Pruggs Billings, and all that enquire. I expect your father will be out as soon as the grass will do. Write. Tell Dan that the fellow who draws off this sheet wants to see him and John. I think Mary was thankful for the present that you sent her especially the two yards. Your father wants John to tell Mr. Davison he should always doctor all the calves, lambs, pigs in season, except that one that runs. You must correct the mistakes and straighten the lines yourselves for I cannot spend time. Adieu for the present. Signed John & D. [Deborah] Moore [A list of names of family members that presumably should read the letter is on the left margin.- Mr. & Mrs. Davison, Electa and Eliza Moore, John & Dan Moore.] [October 2008, revised notes, by Bill Pixley. regarding letter written by Deborah Sherman Moor.] Capt. John and Deborah Sherman Moor(e) arrived in IL in 1836 from NH. They stayed at New Lenox Twp., near Joliet several years before settling in Andover, Henry, IL. By that time, Priscilla and Mary, the oldest daughters were married. Priscilla and John Davison would remain in New Lenox because of the huge acreage they owned. Mary C. and Morrison Francis would have to acquire their own land and went to Henry Co., IL, apparently with a land company or firm whose mission was to settle easterners in Henry Co. According to Morrison Francis' obituary, "within a year or two of his marriage"--23 Apr 1840--"Mr. Francis opened a farm on the prairie south of here"--Andover--"near Red Oak Grove". Since the letter states that Morrison was about to move to Red Oak Grove, it would likely have been in 1841 or 1842. A search of land records should establish a more exact date. The party, celebrating "General Washington's birthday" (22 Feb), indicates the Moores and Reuben S. Sherman traveled from Joliet to Andover about February. So we have a date of February or March 1841 or 1842, when the letter was written. The "Reubin" in the letter working with John, must have been the son of Deborah's brother, Reubin, Jr. This boy, Reubin S. Sherman, was born in 1823, of Reubin, Jr., and Ruth Smith Sherman. He did not remain in IL, but returned to NH and married, 16 Sep 1847, Adeline Little and fathered four children. He died in Lisbon, NH, 14 Feb 1896, age 72. Henry County, IL, biographical sketch (pg. 227) for Morrison Francis who was no longer living (d. 1873), so information was given totally by his wife, Mary Crary Francis: "Mrs. Mary C. Moore Francis was born Sept. 13, 1820, in Lisbon, NH. She is of Irish extraction, and her grandfather, John Moore, was a native of NH. He also married a lady of NH birth and they raised seven (sic) children. John J. (sic) Moore, the father of Mrs. Francis, was born in Bedford, Merrimac Co, NH. He was a farmer and married Deborah, daughter of Reuben Sherman. She was born in New Hampshire and came with her husband in the Spring of 1836 to Hickory Creek, Will Co., Ill. In 1840 they came to Henry County and located in the township of Andover, where they died." Encyclopedia of Biography, Walter Goodman Cowles sketch, pg. 29.

James Frederick Anthony stated that "my father was old style Methodist Circuit rider... had often as many as 15 churches under his charge and preached every day in the week..." [34] This statement also declared that William Horace Anthony was born at Thompson's Creek in Bedford County but lived most of his life in Moore [formerly Franklin] County, that he and his two older sons joined the 1st Tennessee Regiment in 1861 and that he served as chaplain in 1862, when he resigned on account of being afflicted with rheumatism, contracted in camp. James Anthony's statement also declares that his father was a "full blooded German", that all four of his grandparents came from Germany, one of his grandmothers being named Shofner. A similar statement by Roddy Anthony declared that his father was a traveling minister in the Tennessee Conference. He made a similar statement regarding his father's ancestry. Roddy gave his father's middle name as "Harris" and James gave it as "Horace". The move from Bedford County to Franklin County evidently occurred between the births of those two sons, each given the respective county as their own birthplace. James Anthony's statement mentions that his brother Nicholas A. Anthony also volunteered in the CSA in 1861 but was discharged after a few months with a disability. A good deal of information on his family came from my father's correspondence with Lassie Munsey, a granddaughter of James Frederick Anthony. There is also a family Bible with all his children.

T. Block http://www.block.dynip.com/wtblockjr/smith.htm Prior to 1871, Germany or "the Germanys" consisted of 300 free cities, principalities, baronies, provinces ruled by a graf or count, with Brandenburg-Prussia being the only kingdom among them. However in 1845, that part of Central Europe was exceedingly overpopulated and under the tyrannical grip of Prince Metternich of Austria, with the poorest or peasant classes being unable to own one acre of land or to earn a decent living. Thus for sixty years, German immigrant ships continued to arrive at Galveston; many of them were plague ships, quarantined because of cholera or yellow fever aboard. Usually one-tenth of the Germans had already succumbed to the long, 3-months voyage, and those who arrived were usually so weakened physically, that they quickly fell victim to any pestilence within the city. The crew and all the passengers of one quarantined German immigrant ship died while anchored in the harbor. It was said that the foul odors aboard a German immigrant ship were second only to the odors aboard an African slave ship. When the 588 persons aboard the Wendish ship Ben Nevis sailed from Germany in 1854, 76 persons died of cholera and were buried at sea. Slave ships often had less loss at sea than that. The 588 Wends were crammed into a sail ship only 146 feet long, or about the length of one city lot. ________________ Migrated to US 6/13/1850 at age 56 on BARK NEPTUNE, Master Vespuman, to Port of Galveston from the port in Breman, Germany, place of origin was Usedom, Germany.

T. Block http://www.block.dynip.com/wtblockjr/smith.htm Two large German families arrived at Grigsby?s Bluff about May, 1846, having sailed from Bremen on Feb. 10, 1846, but they moved around some before settling at Grigsby?s Bluff permanently in 1854. George Frederick Block, wife Augusta, and six children lived in Beaumont from 1848 until 1854, when they sold out and moved back to Grigsby?s Bluff. George Christian and Charlotte Gentz and their six grown children moved to Wiess Bluff in Jasper County a few years before moving back to Grigsby?s Bluff about 1853, where in 1858 they built their home at Block?s bayou (now Oak Bluff Memorial Park), on land belonging to T. F. McKinney. After Christian Gentz? death in 1868 at age 75, the house and land were purchased by Albert Block, born in Germany in 1840, who was both a farmer, the last Grigsby?s Bluff postmaster, and the writer?s grandfather. The lumber for the Gentz or Albert Block home had been cut at the Remley sawmill in Grigsby?s Bluff.[8] (note about Wiess Bluff: Most of us have heard of that particular rise of shoreline overlooking the Neches River some 15 miles north of Beaumont called Wiess Bluff. Located on Farm Road 1131 in the extreme southwestern corner of Jasper County, the site, on the east bank of the Neches River,was known as Grant's Bluff before Simon Wiess opened a general store there in January 1840. http://www.texasnationalpress.com/texlog/article.php?story=20070424221245175&mode=print) Settled Grigsby Bluff (Port Neches). Sapphire on the Neches, by Block: George Christian and Charlotte Gentz were ages 53 and 49 when they arrived in Texas, and some members of the family were living at Wiess Bluff, Jasper County by 1850. By 1853, Gentz was living on Block's Bayou, where he died in 1868. The Mosley home, the Remley residence, both built in 1857, and the Albert Block home (later Will Block) wer the only antebellum houses that faced the Neches River and survived well into the twentieth century. The Block house was built in 1858 y George Christian Gentz, who was then a tenant farmer on the large McKinney tract." (house built at Oak Bluff Cemetery in 1858, torn down in 1937) All the homes were built with the front porch facing the river because the Neches River was the road in those days. ____ METHODISM CAME TO PORT NECHES IN 1881 By W. T. Block http://www.block.dynip.com/wtblockjr/methodis.htm In 1981, First United Methodist Church of Port Neches celebrated its centennial anniversary. It was there on September 6, 1881, that Rev. W. H. Crawford organized the first Methodist congregation in the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Gentz. Half of the earliest residents were German-speaking immigrants, who probably had been Lutherans in their native Prussia, but found no church of that denomination in Jefferson County. Early immigrants included Frederick Rexas, Frederick Behlke, George Christian Gentz, Fred Gentz, Charles Gentz, William Gentz, George Block, William Block, Charles Block, Albert Block, George L. Block, August Schramm, John Wiltz, Mikiel Staffen, Karl Meinke, Henry Wendt, Henry Wendling, Joe Block, Adolph Block, Leopold Block, August Block, and John Kline. Native-born families included John C. Beaumont, Jack Beaumont, Sam Lee, B. G. Whittington, Oliver and George Keith, Albert Smith, 'Bud' Smith, Sam Remley, Henry Heisler, W. G. Gentz, Will Merriman, Marion Merriman, Otho Merriman, Walter Merriman, Albert C. Block, Will Block, Sr., Martin Block, Charles Hemmingway, Albert Staffen, Charlie Staffen, Jim Rachford, Robert Rachford, W. M. Nelson, Seburn Berry, Radford Berry, Levi and Lastie Hillebrandt, D. A. Bibb, and D. W. Sampson. The first congregation had only sixteen members. The earliest services were conducted in the homes of the Keiths, Smiths, Beaumonts, Gentz, Remleys, Klines, Sampsons, Lees, Nelsons, and Merrimans. According to the late George Keith, Rev. Crawford once commented about the hardships of his circuit-riding days, which resulted in the establishment of the Port Neches congregation, as follows: "In 1881, I served Sabine Pass and Terry Mission (Orange County) and elsewhere in Orange, Hardin, and Jefferson Counties," Crawford reported. "I traveled 200 miles each month and organized a church at Grigsby's Bluff of 16 members. Alligators, which infested Taylor's Bayou by the hundreds, were the only inhabitants of what is now Port Arthur. I was once lost between Grigsby's Bluff and Taylor's Bayou in a dense fog, and came near losing my life." Usually, a foot-pedaled organ accompanied the services. Coal oil lamps and lanterns lit the sanctuary at night. As was then the custom, women sat on one side of the church and men on the other. Sometimes worshippers brought lunches, prepared for an entire day of services. Although a Sunday School was conducted each week, circuit riders came only infrequently until well into the twentieth century, with rarely more than a single service each month. ________ George Christian Gentz had died in 1868, to become the first burial in what is now Oak Bluff memorial park, and in 1870 his widow had moved into the home of a son (Charles C). As a result, the old Gentz home, on Block's Bayou at the foot of Block Street, passed into the possession of the Albert Block family. Despite Gentz' burial at Oak Bluff Memorial, the graveyard that was to become the 'Gentz Cemetery' was located at the William Gentz home near Jefferson (Texaco) Chemical Co. Before his death, George C. Gentz requested that a pine tree be planted on his grave. In 1868, there were no pine trees growing anywhere in Grigsby's Bluff, and his sons arranged for a steamboat pilot to dig up a tree during a voyage up the Neches River. By 1928 that pine tree had reached a diameter of about 28-30 inches, but pine beetles and disease had damaged it until it was dying (and it was cut down that winter). __________ Mr. Block, Would like to know about the yellow fever epidemic about 1862. I have two relatives, Alexis and Aspasie Hebert Blanchette, who died in Sabine Pass, March of 1864. Would like to confirm the cause of death. Where might I locate this info? Are there any lists of casualties of the epidemic in Sabine Pass?.

M. Turner, C. L. Gruey, J. F. York, H. M. Wier, and R. M. Hinman. The burial was made in the Cambridge cemetery. The relatives from out-of-town at the funeral were: D. P. Goodrich, Hartford, Conn., Mrs. T. M. Shallenbertger, Council Bluffs, IA, Genevieve Carpenter, Menomonee, Wis., Harlow N. Higinbotham, Chicago, and James Davenport, Galesburg. It is not an easy task to adequately review the life of one who has lived eighty-seven long years of usefulness--a life so complete in its every phase. This life had fulfilled every duty, fulfilled every obligation, and than the promise held by the average lot. Mrs. Mary Crary Francis was born at Lisbon, New Hampshire, on the 13th of September, 1820, where she resided until 16 years of age. She was the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. John Moore, and with them and her two brothers and three sisters, came out into the west in 1836. For three years Mary Moore lived in Joliet, Illinois, where she met and married Morrison Francis, a young southerner who had come to the prairies to make his fortune. Mr. and Mrs. Francis made their first home in Red Oak, and one year later they settled permanently in Andover, where they lived many years and until some time after the death of Mr. Francis in 1874. Mr. and Mrs. Francis alike were gifted with unbounded energy and praiseworthy ambition. Mr. Francis saw great possibilities in Illinois soil and his holdings at one time amounted to about 1800 acres of choice land in and about the present village of Andover. In 1881, Mrs. Francis left the old homestead at Andover, and since then has made Cambridge her home--tho' she has spent the greater part of this time in both the east and the west among relatives and her many friends. To Mr. and Mrs. Francis were born eight children, six of whom reached maturity and of which number three now survive her; Mrs. Evelyn G. Dimick, Mrs. Lyde A. Keagy, and Frank F. Francis. Nine grandchildren also remain to mourn the loss of one of the noblest women our community has ever known. Mrs. Francis was a woman whose entire life might be an example to all, and her achievements such as are worthy of more than this brief mention. Her patience in days of sorrow, and her calm integrity thro' the vicissitudes of fortune should be an inspiration to us all. She possessed, to a remarkable degree, that keener judgment and strength of mind, more often found in the sterner sex, but it was tempered with the broad charity and perception of the highest type of a noble intellectual woman. Her ability to grasp and retain a knowledge of affairs has been a great pleasure to all of her intimates, and she continued to keep this wonderful interest in all things as long as her days were spared. Few women who have lived in the more conservative period of her generation, have possessed that broad scope of wisdom and far seeing judgment as was hers. As a wife, a mother, and a member of society, she has been pre-eminently one of the truest type of women. Her life necessarily covered a period that could not escape its tragedies, and many, many days of hope and uncertainty. When we know that she was the wife of a pioneer, one of the men whose fearless efforts have helped to make this one-time wilderness a garden in the middle west, then we realize something of her bravery and energy. It was partly through her inspiration that Morrison Francis undertook that perilous journey across the plains in 1849; it was her practical hand that helped prepare for that long, long hardship--and it was her own wonderful bravery and resource of mind and heart that sustained her thro' those months of uncertainty, with four small children as a consolation and a care. Mary Francis' life has been one comprehensive whole of right doing and right thinking, and she leaves a memory dear to her own, and the large community, which has known her, will be conscious of a loss of a friend, a mentor, and a splendid example of womanhood.
