| 1006 | Henrietta was three years old in the Illinois 1860 census. A copy of a portion of "GENEALOGY OF SOME EAST TENNESSEE FAMILIES OF THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY" compiled by Ruth Ritchie in 1945 contains what information we have on Henrietta and her family. They believe she is descendent of Nathan Farmer but can not prove it as yet. If so, this print out contains Farmer information back for several more generations. Pages 24 and 25 of the supplement to the above mention genealogy book have Henrietta's family information. Her grandfather supposedly was full blooded Cherokee Indian. Frank Guy Schafer, Jr. shared with Wanda Gines in later years that he and his siblings were the last descendents of Henrietta that could live on a reservation if they chose to do so. After her husband's death, someone in Richview took her in and they raised Frank Guy Schafer, their only child. On September 22, 1986, Aunt Tootie Wallace shared with Wanda Gines that Henrietta Farmer in later life, after Joseph Chaver was gone, and Frank Guy was raised, married Frank Rogers. He had one son by a previous marriage named Ira Rogers. Frank Rogers was the only grandpa that Tootie, Mildred and Frank Guy,Jr. knew. The old Edison Victrola that Mildred Schafer Brink gave to her daughter Wanda had belonged to Frank Rogers. Mildred remembered being at their home and putting the phonograph in the window with it open. All the neighbors gathered around outside to listen to the cylinder records. After Frank Rogers died, Henrietta lived with Frank Guy and Pauline Schafer. She was nearly blind and later on her mind was bad. Ira stayed in Rogers house. (I barely remember Ira - he had an open, terrible looking cancerous sore on his face.) | FARMER HENRIETTA S E (I00078)

He left Germany with some 30 other people who settled in the New Minden area of Washington County, Illinois. He left Germany to avoid military service after seeing results to several older brothers. His father helped him to escape. Since Henry's father apparently owned or worked at a flour mill in Germany, residents of New Minden called Henry "Miller Meinert". He was one of five original and charter members of Trinity Lutheran Church, Nashville, Illinois. His name is included in records in teh cornerstone laying. For a long time the church had no minister and services were held in teh courthouse. Men took turns reading prepared sermons.

| 1013 | Henry Hoffman was born on a farm in the Hoyleton-North Prairie area. He was the third child and oldest son and helped on the farm until his younger brothers were old enough to help with the work, at which time he struck out on his own. He husked corn and did work on farms. It was in the Tower Hill, Il., area (75 mi. north of Nashville,) that he met the Gerhold family. The Gerhold family belonged to the Evangelical Church and at one time Henry considered the ministry but opposed the ceremony and the robes worn by Eangelical ministers. Mary went to Castlewood, S. Dakota, in 1893 to keep house for her brother, Chris, and Henry soon followed and worked on farms there. On Sept. 18, 1894 they were married and took up farming. They joined the Methodist Church. The three oldest children were born here. Because Indians frequently stopped to water their horses and would look around in the house and leave, Mary and the children were frightened. They were not hostile and would not do or say anything but because of this and because of droughts and crop failure, the family moved back to Il. This was around 1900 and the family started farming around Bible Grove, Il. Two more children, Esther and Victor were born here. Because Henry had met and was a great admirer of Theodore Roosevelt, he named Victor - Victor Roosevelt and later Elmer - Elmer Theordore. Thile they lived at Bible Grove a salesman for Walter T. Raleigh Medicine Co. persuaded Henry to give up farming and go from farm to farm selling Raleight products. He was well-known and prospered. After he had accumulated a sum of money he wanted to buy a shoe store in Decatur but Mary didn't want her children brought up in the city and hoped they would become farmers. About 1907, the family moved to Braddock, near Stude, N. Dakota, close to where his brother Edward owned a farm. Henry bought a farm and a steam threshing machine. Sine his was the only machine in the area, he was prospering. In the fall of 1910 he hired an engineer who disregarded Hy's, orders not to cross a section of tall prairie grassland. Straw was the fuel for the engine and a stiff breeze set all the grass a fire. The dry grass burned fast destroying all faarms and crops in its path till it reached Long Lake. Henry had to pay for the damage so lost everything. Another baby, Ervin, was born ehre at Braddock. Now almost penniless and very depressed over his troubles he decided to move to Sedalia, Mo., where he had heard the Mo. Pacific R. R. was hiring men. Albert, the oldest son and his father took jobs in the shops. As soon as cheaper labor was available, they lost their jobs. Once agaain trouble hounded them - Ervin developed mastoditis and died. In 1912 a friend from Fargo, N. Dakota, loaned the family train fare to Fargo where Henry worked for J. I. Case Tractor and Threshing Co. - Albert in the Post Office, and Lillian for Woolworths. In 1914, the urge to farm came again. Through a Methodist Minister, a farm was located near Valley City, N. Dakota. Here in 1915 LeRoy was born. In 1920, a cyclone destroyed granaries filled with grain as well as crops in the field. Henry and Mary took bankruptcy to save the little they had. The children except for Victor, Elmer and LeRoy had all left home. Henry bought land at Randall, near Little Falls, Minn. It was undeveloped with plenty of timber. He rented another small farm and most tillable land was planted with cucumbers to be sold to a Pickle Factory in the area. In winter Henry and Victor sold cordwood from the timber. When Copper Mining Co. was buying land in the area Henry leaned too late that the former owner had retained the mineral rights and he once again had to sell at a loss. The family the moved to Russell, Kansas where Albert was hald owner of a tire shop - this was in 1923. Albert passed his postal exam, sold the shop and sent to work in the P. O. Henry worked as a salesman for Baker Medicine Co., which proved to be a dying business. With the help of their children, Henry and Mary then went into retirement and lived in Valley City, N. Dakota, close to two of their daughters. In 1949, after putting up storm windows, Henry complained of being tired - three days later he died of a coronary thrombosis. Mary then went to live with her daughters, first with Esther and then with Lillian. On Jan. 30, 1960, Mary slipped, fell and broke her hip. She died three days later in her sleep. Members of the family say the family had many hard times but also many happy times and were always close. The parents were always highly religious - did much work for the Methodist Church and had family devotions daily - morning and evening.

| 1042 | HISTORY OF JOHN AND MARTHA NOBLE FAMILY (Compiled by family members for the 1942 Noble Centennial in English Settlement, Wisconsin.) In the year 1792 in Rastrick parish near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, John Noble was born. He married Martha Dyson. She was born in 1795. Following their marriage, they settled at Huddersfield where their first four children were born. The last seven were born in the Parish of Halifax. In 1840, Huddersfield was a town of 285,000 people located ina valley with beautiful hills surrounding it. The social life included entertainment provided by the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., as well as concerts, art exhibits, operas and operettas. Professional troupes, school and college groups, and local theater groups provided the entertainment. Many of the boys in the town played rugby or cricket. A team known as the Huddersfield Rangers represented the city. Outside of town, farmers tilled the soil in preparation for the raising of barley, oats and alfalfa. Since the farmers did not produce enough croups to supply the country's needs or demands, England was dependent upon the world for its agricultural needs. The council and aldermen of Huddersfield governed the town and local schools. The schools were known as council schools although there were many other schools known as private schools. All the schools were under government control with a minister of education of cabinet rank. The teachers were under meit rank and could not be dismissed without justifiable cause. All teachers could apply for any vacanycy in any school to which their ability and educational standing qualified them. Parochial schools, known as church schools, were under the same standards and requirements as other schools. Huddersfield was a great manufacturing center in 1840. Their main industry was cloth weaving, making woolen, cotton and worsted goods. They took raw material and worked it into finished goods ready for the market. They also produced soaps, ropes, door and window sashes and candy. In addition, they had large chemical works with full processing into finished products. They also produced quality cabinets and polishes of all kinds for the finishing of furniture. One of the factories in Huddersfield was a Noble, Starkey and Helm firm. They manufactured fancy goods and also had a small grocery store. Because of a disagreement between the three men, John Noble and Joseph Starkey decided to emigrate to America with their families. In 1840, Mr. Helm bought out the interests of John Noble and Joseph Starkey. Mr. Starkey had a family of six, and in the Noble family there were eight boys, two girls and a grandchild. According to age the children were: Ann, James, Joseph, Simeon, John, Henrietta, Henry, Lewis, Dyson, and Allen. An infoanat daughter, Etta, was buried in England. After much preparation by John and Martha Noble, on August 10, 1841, the entire family except for James and his wife, Zilpha, who had just had a baby son, John william on August 7th, left their home for Liverpool, England. On August 14, the folowing persons set sail on the steamship, Garrick, for New York. John and Martha Noble, their children, a granddaughter, eight members of the Starkey family, Mr. and Mrs. Haigh, and Alan and Henry Gooder. James, his wife and infant son followed the rest of teh family to New York a month later. The children were very excited at first, but they soon became tired of the long voyage. It was not by any means an unexciting trip. After being on the water a few days, a huge whale nearly upset the ship. That was a time that no one forgot! Finally, on September 11, they sighted Staten Island and thought it was the most beautiful scenery they had every seen. On Monday, September 13, they sailed into New York harbor. They had reached America. Mr. Noble and Mr. Starkey left their families at a hotel and went in search of a home. they soon found one occupied by two Irish women in the basement and a woman in the second story. All of the families moved into this house. A month later, they were joined by the James Noble family, a Mr. Walker, and also a large family named Smith. After getting their families settled, Mr. Noble and Mr. starkey went to Wisconsin to buy government land. Mr. Noble purchased three "eighties" and a "forty", and Mr. Starkey about the same amount of land including what is now Waterford Woods, one mile north of the village of Waterford. They contracted wtih Edwin Rice to put up two fram houses to be ready in the spring. They then returned to New Yor to spend the winter with their families. The winter proved to be mild with very little snow. The children attended day school and Sunday school and always remembered the kindness of their teachers. While in Wisconsin, Mr. Noble found that there were no pennies in circulation, and that eight dimes made a dollar. He exchanged several hundred dollars into dimes in New York to be used in paying for things he had to buy in Wisconsin. In April these families left New York, rode on an immigrant boat up the Hudson River, towed by a steamer, taking two days to reach Albany. They then went up to the Erie Canal to Buffalo where they took a steamer bound for Racine, Wisconsin. They landed on the morning of May 7, 1842, two weeks from the time they left New York. The men immediately procured teams adn wagons to take them all to their destination, Waterford. They drove as far as Ives Grove, about ten miles, and spent the night in a log cabin tavern. In the early morning, they resumed their journey. There were not many houses along the way. The grass was a foot high, and there were gardens of flowers everywhere. They also saw numerous prairie chickens and quail. They reached the Rice home in the afternoon and remained there for a few days whle getting the houses ready for occupancy. After getting settled, the men decided they wanted more land. They heard of government land for sale along Eagle Creek, three miles southeast of Rochester. After looking it over, Mr. Noble bought five "eighties" on the south side of the creek and Mr. Starkey the same on the north side. Then they decided it would be best to trade. Mr. Starkey would take all the land at Waterford, and Mr. Noble would take Mr. Starkey's land on the north side of the creek. That meant another house had to be built. About this time, the Noble daughter, Henrietta, died at the age of 16 causing the family great sorrow. She was buried in the Rochester Cemetery. The Noble families found themselves surrounded by other English families. Cocroft, Bottomley, Tinker, Armitage, Earnshaw, Woodhead, Scott, Hinchliffe, Hankinson and others. It was rightly called the English Settlement. Mr. Noble put up the largest house of all. 10 feet x 22 feet with fourteen foot posts and a wing on each side of 16 feet x 16 feet. All of the lumber used was oak. James Noble, John's oldest son, was the carpenter, assisted by a younger brother, Henry. The family lived at the home of Mr. Tinker while their home was constructed. They moved into their new home on November 6, 1842. The month before they moved into their new home a prairie fire broke out and nearly destroyed the entire community. The men, women and children beat the fire with boughts and three water on the fire and managed to save the community. The first winter was always called the "hard winter". Snow began on November 9th and remained until the following April. thought the winter was severe, few had overcoats and overshoes were unknown. The men cut wood for rail fences when the weather permitted. My March they had 4000 logs to go to the sawmill. The first religious service held in English Settlement was at the home of James Tinker. Joseph Noble, son of John and Martha Noble was the preacher. The first marriage took place December 1, 1842, between Squire Hinchliffe adn Ann Cocroft. The first chld born was Thomas Woodhead in May, 1843. John Noble was a singer adn belonged to a Glee Club. He accompanied other men as they went from house to house on Christmas Eve siging Christmas carols. The "Old Christmas Hymn", a song they sang in England was a favorite. It was an English custom to invite the singers into the homes to eat currant breat and cheese. John Noble, Mrs. Bottomley and Mrs. Earnshaw organized the first Sunday School. In 1845, the first school house was bult. When completed the Sunday Service and the Sunday School were held there instead of at the John Earnshaw house. However, after a time, some objections were raised, and it was decided to build a church. A meeting was called, and Edwin Bottomley was elected chairman and James Tinker, secretary. A preamble was drawn up, and any person subscribing five dollars toward the new churchj was qualified to vote on the election of trustees. Edwin Bottomley, James Tinker and JOhn Noble were elected trustees. Letters were written to friends in England explaining the need for a church. A donation of $407 was received. Two hundred and ten dollars was subscribed from the English Settlement residents. The church was built on one and one-half acres of land purchased by the trustees. A cemetery was established on the church land, and was called the Eagle Creek Cemetery. Meetings began in the church in 1847, although it was not completed until 1854. John and Martha Noble were subsequently buried in the cemetery next to the English Settlement Church. John had entered whole-heartedly into the life and growth of the community even as he diligently tilled his considerable acreage. He and his wife had given each of their children forty acres of land. He had lived to see his dream come true of a proper place to worship. On New Year's Day of 1849, the entire settlement gathered for the dedication service for the church. On August 31st of that same year, John Noble passed away at age 57. Martha Dyson Noble passed away on July 15, 1952, also at the age of 57.

| 1044 | HISTORY OF THOMAS AND ELIZABETH HAIGH FAMILY by Ruby Noble-Dunton Thomas Haigh was born and raised in or near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, I believe. He came to America about 1840 or 1842. He married Elizabeth Marshall Hinchliffe in English Settlement, between Burlington, Wisconsin and Rochester, Wisconsin in Racine County. He had a brother or brothers, but I can't remember his or their names. Thomas Haigh had a previous marriage whose sons were Sam and Dan Haigh. My mother, Annie Haigh, is the daughter of his second marriage. She married Joseph Henry Noble. The other two daughters of the second marriage were Addie Haigh, who married Jesse Clark, and Bertha Haigh, who never married. She is buried in the English Settlement. I'm quite sure Thomas Haigh is also buried there and perhaps his brothers. The name of Thomas Haigh is in the assessor's books which also lists his wife and children, and gives his birth place as England. These assessor's books are in the Archives Building in Washington, D.C. When I visited Huddersfield, England, in 1961, there were Haigh's in teh telephone directory. A large sign on a building was "Haigh Textile Mfg." There wasn't time to investigate them. The Huddersfield Choral Society as celebrating its 125th Anniversary in 1961. There were Haigh's who sang in it from the start, and Haigh's were listed as members throughout the years.
