| 3015 | When Leonard was a young boy his father died. His mother eventually remarried and the new family moved to Missouri. Leonard had many sep-brothers and sisters. Life was not so happy and when it was time for him to be confirmed he moved back to Hoyleton to live with his sister Millie and her husband Albert. Shortly after Rudie came to live with them too. Leonard was a prankster and loved to tease Frieda, Millie's daughter, when she was growing up. Leonard attended prep school and college in Elmhurst, Illinois. As an adult Leonard was a band and music teacher in Okawville, Illinois. He wrote and arranged music for the many musicals he produced. Leonard was good at woodworking and had a shop with a lathe and other necessary tools in a building next to his home in New Minden, Illinois. He built a tall grandfather clock for his yard. He also built a reed organ and he used a vacuum, cleaner to blow air into it so he would not have to pump it with his foot. He was also an avid painter. He liked working with oil paintings and had many samples of his work hanging in his home. by Carol Hotz in Brink/Beckmeyer Family History 1999 Grave at North Prairie Cemetery: Footstone - GHS-Mus US Army WW1 | BRINK LEONARD H.

| 3028 | William (the name he was called after he came to America) was born at Rothenufeln, Germany, and died in the New Minden area. His wife, the former Caroline Schrieber, whom he married in 1843, also was from Germany - Russbend, near Preusche (also spelled Preusz and Preuss) Minden. William and Caroline are buried in St. John's Cemetery, New Minden. They are buried side by side, instead of in a row in order of death, as was customary in this old cemetery. Their lot is also in a prominent spot near the center. Members of the family think this distinction was made because the land for the church and cemetery had been a gift of William's father. This would seem a logical conclusion. We assume William came to America in 1838 with his parents. At any rate he was married here in 1843 and became a charter member of St. John's in 1846. The William Hoffmans son, Johann C. H. (called Herman) was killed by lightning, when he was 17 years old. This was a real tragedy to the family, especially since he was the third son to die. Herman is said to have been driving a wagon, some distance from his home when lightning struck, but the horses made their way home without a driver.

| 3029 | William Adams was born in County Antrim, near Ballymoney, Ireland, in 1809. He came to America in 1836, worked in Philadelphia, Pa. for six years, at $6.00 per month, and saved enough money to return to Ireland. In 1842, he married Mary Getty. He brought her and his father and mother, James and Martha Adams, to America, settling in Grandcote Prairie, now known as Swanwick, Illinois. Teh father and mother lived only three years, after settling in Grandcote Prairie, dying three days apart. They are buried in the Oakdale cemetery. In 1845, William Adams moved to a farm southeast of Oakdale. He bought the 240 acre farm from Alexander and Lucy Hodge for $900. Nine children were born to William and Mary Getty Adams. Two died in infancy. Their names were William and David Hunter. The seven remaining children were Martha Ann, who married James Piper; James Moore, who married Rachel McEwen; John, who married Rosie Allen; Mary Jane, who married William McClurkin; Wlliam Getty, who married Elizabeth Robison; Hannah never married; and Margaret Elizabeth, who married William Lawson. The two brothers, James and John, mentioned above, traveled to Nebraska with their families in covered wagons. On one wagon was a large hay rack filled with pieces of furniture and necessities. The other wagons were filled with lumber bought at the last town passed through, to be used in constructing their homes and church. They lived in dugouts until their homes were built. Services were held in their homes until the church was completed. The first sermon was preached in the John Adams house in 1880. Other families moved in from Iowa and other states to the area, making quite a group in the new church. William Adams died January 4, 1892. There was a blizzard on the day of his funeral, with drifting snow. it was so severe that ice had to be picked off the horses' eyelids, so that they could see the road. The body was taken to the Oakdale cemetery in a big sleigh. After the death of William Adams, William Getty, the seventh child, bought the home farm aforementioned, and married Elizabeth Robinson of Coulterville, Illinois May 26, 1892. To this union were born Roscoe, Edna, Oren, Mary and Paul. Roscoe married Florence Klene of Oakdale. They had one child Opal Irene. Edna married Elwyn carson of Oakdale. They had three children, Eileen, Preston, and Joann. The Carson family history is found elsewhere in this book. Oren married Elizabeth Herche, having no children. Mary married Edward Bernreuter of Nashville, Illinois. They have an adopted daughter Carol who married Peter Lutz of Anna, Illinois. One daughter named Marguerite was born to this union. Peter died in 1969. Mary and Edward have a son (not adopted) Neill Valdes, who is an orthopedic surgeon in Carbondale, Illinois. He married Diann Richardson of St. Louis, Missouri, and they have three children. Their names are Becky, Wesley and Wendy. Paul, the youngest child of William Getty and Elizabeth Robinson, died at the age of 13, in 1925, having been injured by a horse while putting up hay in the barn of a farmer near Oakdale, Illinois. William Getty Adams moved to the village of Oakdale in 1917, having lived for 60 years on the home farm, where he was born. The oldest son Roscoe took over the farm. William Getty died in 1926. He had been elder in the Reformed Presbyterian church for 37 years and was buried in the Oakdale cemetery. By Mary Adams Bernreuter | ADAMS WILLIAM (I05598)

| 3030 | William and Ida moved to Oklahoma in 1900 and settled on a farm at Grove where their four children were born. In 1922 John Owens and son, Crittendon, started out west to California. They stopped in Oklahoma to see John's nephew, William and family....It was not long afterward that word arrived from California that John had found work adn the opportunity was great for others. By 1923 William had sold his property at auction and was on his way to California. They settled in Oroville where William started to work at Swain's lumber mill. By 1926 both William and Ida were working in the Sunny Cal cannery, and they remained employed there until their retirement. There is a photograph of the family on p. 562 of the Stone County History Book. The heading reads: From left: William, "Rex", Ida May, "Cy," Orval, and Freeta Owens. p. 562 Leonard Carey Stone county History Book | OWENS WILLIAM NATHAN (I01244)

| 3031 | William and Pearl spent their entire life in Washington County except for a few years in early 1900's William lived in Granite City and Madison area working for the B. & O. Railroad. About 1910 to 1918 William delivered block ice daily to homes and business places of Nashville for Steinhauser Ice and Power Plant located in southeast part of the city. In January of 1918 the family moved from Nashville to the William and Anna (Huegely) Weihe farm, William Rumig's birthplace, located three miles south of Nashville. The couple spent twenty- two years of their life on this farm. To the east of this homestead stood the Locust Creek Church and Cemetery, located in the church yard. The family attended services at this until the church closed down in the mid 1920's. The Locust Creek School was one long mile through the woods to the west, where Mildred and Ruth attended elementary school. Following grade school we went on to Nashville High School and instead of the one long mile walk we drove three miles of dirt roads. February 24, 1935 Mildred married Elmer Schnare. In 1940 William and Pearl semi-retired to a ten acre plot they owned, one mile east of Nashville. On August 11, 1944 Ruth married Marvin Peithman at the Wesley Methodist Church, Nashville, Illinois. The home was broken June 19, 1959 when Pearl, their mother, passed away. William lived another eleven years and nine months longer and passed away March 4, 1971. They are buried on St. Pauls Cemetery, Nashville, Illinois. From 1979 Washington County History book | RUMIG WILLIAM EARNST (I02877)

Wiliam raised registered Holstein and Guersey dairy cattle and during his later years he raised Registered Polled Hereford cattle. During the pre-tractor days he raised horses and mules and it was not unusual to have more horses and mules than cows onthe farm. He quit farming, July of 1967, and celebrated his 100th birthday December 22, 1978. His brother Edard observed his 102nd birthday December 13, 1978. | PEITHMANN WILLIAM GEORGE (I03717)

| 3036 | William Frederick Hohman (partial article) 1979 Washington County History book. Henry came from Seidinghausen in Northwestern Germany as a young man, having been baptized in a very old church whose foundation stones go back to the days of Charlemagne in the 9th century. The Hohmans were farmers and shoemakers. The shoe business was continued in Nashville for three generations by Henry, son William, grandson Howard. . . . At time of death William Hohman was president of Turst Building and Loan and in show business with son Howard. Was a member of St. Paul U.C.C. and held various offices. By: Ruth Hohman Henry was born in the little village, named Siedinghausen, near Minden, in Westphalia in northwestern Germany and went to church and was baptized in a very old church (tradition has it that the church and possibly a few of its aactual foundation stones go back to the days of Charlemagne in the 9th century). It is definitely "Charlemagne territory" and lovely countryside, with rolling hills, quaint old barns and wooden painted statues of saints under the gables and a famous "kaisers denkmal", or statue on a river bend nearby, called Bergkirchen. Both Siedinghausen and Bergkirchen are really only crossroads, with Minden, for which our New Minden in Washington Co. was named, the nearest fairly large town (by 1969, it had grown to about 50,000). The description of this area was given me by Elmo Hohman, who visited there in 1929 and again in 1958. He found the actual house where Henry lived still standing and occupied by the widow of a distant cousin named Hohman. The Hohmans were combined farmers and shoemakers and teh shoe business was carried on in Nashville for three generations - by Henry - his son, William and William's son Howard. Next to the church at Bergkirchen, which is very old and interesting is a cemetery which contains many names of families now living around Nashville, who are their descendants. Henry left Germany in the 1850's, sailing from Bremen in a sailing boat to New Orleans - then up the Mississippi by river boat and on to Nashville, Illinois. He left Germany as a young man, in order to escape army duty, which was required of all young men when they reached a certain age. After arriving in America, it was said that his conscience bothered him, so he enlisted in the army here during the Civil War. He was a member of the 49th Infanatry Regiment. He was one of 8 brothers and sisters who eventually came to the U.S. Henry's obituary said he died after a long illness (believed to have been cancer), at the age of 59. To quote from the obituary which appeared in a Nashville German newspaper, "The deceased was a good citizen, good Christian, good husband, good father, member of the church and many years Council Member of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. | HOHMAN ERNST HENRY FREDERICK (I07292)

| 3041 | William moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, ca 1906. His grandson, Tober, remembered seeing his "Grandpap" coming back to Stone county from Tulsa for a visit. He was driving his team and wagon, and Tobe ran down the road to meet him. As boys will do, Tobe was jumping on and off the wagon; and when he tried to jump onto the break, his foot slipped and the wagon ran over him. As he told the story: "I had the lockjaw, and we went over to see Granny Gore, and we had to go through a lot of huckleberry bushes, and when we saw Granny, the first thing she said was 'The first thing I want to see is Granny Gore.' She made me a glass of huckleberry juice, and I took a sip of that - and I went to eating real quick." William B. is known to have worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a brick company during the time bricks were being laid in the streets. He was a foreman for the company and in a position to hire as he wished. Many of the relatives knew where to go when they were looking for work. They are both buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery, Tulsa, Oklahoma. There were no stones erected as of this writing, but their loacation is Block 205, Section 11, N.W.2 and N.W.3. p. 556-557 Leonard E.

| 3050 | William Wilson was a farmer and owned 160 acres of land on the S. E. 1/4 of Section 4, Township 22, Range 24. Levi D. Titus had originally received this land on a Patent Deed from T. Roosevelt, President. Several of Nettie's relatives had moved to Oroville, California, and there was a lot of talk about the pot at the end of the rainbow. William said that he would like to take off for a year of working vacation, and he made arrangements with his brother, James, to look after the farm. Three families: William and Nettie wilson, Furman and Amanda Knight, and the Chastain's who were friends, each bought a brand new 1923 Model-T Ford in preparation for their 2,000 mile trip. As Helen Barnes put it: "It must have taken a great deal of courage for three country families to leave their homes and community of 300 for such an adventurous tri0p, camping out at night and cooking over an open fire. They arrived in Lodi, California, where they all got jobs in the packing sheds. From there, they continued on to their destination." After a year or so, word arrived from James in Missouri that cholera was rampant in the hogs and was beginning to affect the cattle, and they were about to lose the farm. William and family packed as quickly as they could and were on their way back home. There is a photograph of William and Nettie Wilson on p. 571 Stone County History Book. p. 571-572 Leonard Carey Stone County Missouri History Book | WILSON WILLIAM M. CLAYBURN (I10359)
