| 52 | I00071 | Paulina Anna Carolina Arnsmeyer married Frank Guy Truman Schafer in 1904. Paulina was the daughter of Julia Klee and William Arnsmeyer. The Schafer family name is actually Chavers, but was inadvertently changed by a country doctor when Frank's birth certificate was recorded in the 1880's. Frank's heritage was half Cherokee Indian on his mother's side (her name was Henrietta Farmer) and English on the side of his father, a traveling jewelry salesman. Although they met and married in Nashsville, Frank and Paulina (affectionately known as Aunt Polly) spent the early years of their married life in Percy, where Mildred Helen was born in 1909, and in Chester where Imogene ("Tootie" was born in 1915. The family moved back to Nashville in 1916 to live in the Arnsmeyer homeplace on Walnut Street. Homer G. was born in 1922 and Frank Cuy, Jr. was born in 1924. Mildred married Raymond Brink and they had two children, Charles Ray, a Nashville resident and Wanda Lee (now Gines and living in Ft. Wayne, Indiana). Imogene married Ralph Wallace of Shelbyville, Illinois in 1934. they had two children, Moren Kleek, now living in New Minden and Trenna Rae (now Grabowski) living in DuBois. Home G. died of a congenital disease as a young man. Frank married Marie Ruchaj and they had two children, Cynthia Jean (now Sanders) living in DuQuoin and Jeffrey Todd, currently attending college.

| 55 | I00077 | Wanda Gines: GenForum entry on April 2, 2004 I was always told I have Cherokee blood. My great grandmother, Henrietta Farmer Chaver, was supposed to be the grand daughter of a full-blood cherokee. My grandfather had proof including all the paper work. His wife was very prejudiced against the Indians and after her husbands death, burned everything. I've been searching ever since but unsuccessfully. My Chaver was Joseph Chaver. He was supposedly killed in a tornady in Murphysboro, Illinois in 1925. He was a jewelry salesman. His possessions and body were never found |

| 58 | I00078 | 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.) |

| 69 | I0010 | Came to the US with his father and sibs on the Harriet Hoxie on 6/22/1857. Listed as carpenter on death certificate. Cause of death: atrophy of left lobe of liver following hypertrophy. According to the descendants of Rosa Schmidt, Christian was married in Germany and his wife died on the boat on the trip to the US. Christian supposedly served in the military in Germany, possibly as a cook. Naturalized in Will County, IL on September 8, 1871. On the marriage certificate, Christian is listed as John Smith. He was also listed as John Smith in the 1860 census records for Lawrence County, IL, Christy Township: John Smith, 28 years old, born in Germany, farmer, with 30 acres. Christina, 20 years old, born in IL Mary 4 months old, born in IL The 1870 census records, Scott County, MN Christian Smith is there with his wife and children, listed as a carpenter born in Prussia. 1880 census records: St. Clair County, Lebanon, IL Christian Smith, 49, born in Prussia, both parents born in Prussia, carpenter Christina, 39, born in IL, father born PA, mother born Ohio Mary, 21, born IL John, 15, born IL Catharina, 13, born IL Annie, 10, born IL George, 9, born IL Elizabeth, 7, born IL Hester, 5, born IL Christopher, 4, born MN Emma J, 2, born IL 5 of the 9 children living at home were listed as having measles.

George, born Nov 1872 MN Christopher, born 4/1877 MN Rosa, born11/1883 MN Obviously, the children could not have all been born in MN, most if not all of them were actually born in IL. In the 1880 census records when their mother Christina was still alive, more accurate place of birth was given for the children. Notice that the name varies between Schmidt and Smith. Christian and his family lived in Will Co, IL for a while, then moved to Scott County, MN where some of his siblings were, then moved back to Will Co for a while and then back to Scott County. Perhaps Christian was considering staying permanantly in MN but couldn't find work, it is not clear why they moved back and forth so much. Belleville Weekly Advocate, Page 5, Col. 3, April 24, 1908: The funeral of Christian Schmidt who died at the home of William Villard Tuesday, April 14, at the age of 76 years, took place Friday afternoon from the German Evangelical Church to College Hill cemetery under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge.

This is a story about the living quarters of the Schmidt family that was done as an interview on April 1979: Kathy Quarti granddaughter was interviewing Rose Mary Schmidt Kelly Hull at Arkansas Nursing Home in Little Rock, Ark. about early childhood and family memories. "We lived in a long house on Hexabuckle (Lebanon, Ill area) and everyone stayed there. Dad didn't build it. It was already built when we moved in. Brother George lived in a room by himself, but, he never married. Sister Elizabeth and husband lived there too. My other brothers and sisters stayed together in the other rooms. No we didn't have any grandparents that lived with us. Hester lived in 4 rooms at one end. We had a large apple tree in our front yard and when the boys would pass by it they would throw cow dung at it so we called it the "apple shit tree." Next door neighbors were Lindsey, Brown, Raushe or Roesch (sp?) We had a summer kitchen (to cook all meals) Had a stove that would smoke. Emma put some coal oil on it to make the fire better and it blew up and threw her back against the side of the kitchen. Kate and me were making jelly and something fell from the top of the warming oven and hit me on the top of the head. I still have a hole in my head even now. (Dad Christian) Old man Schmidt- they called him. All knew him and he worked in the mine, on the Railroad, and helped to build a bridge in Lebanon across the creek. (Before he started the saloon) (Christian Schmidt owned a saloon at Whiskey Flats. It apparently catered to the base ball players in St. Louis-- see the sign for the saloon in the picture where Christian Schmidt and Joseph Weber are standing outside and it states BASEBALL HEADQUARTERS. Picture was taken about 1900 and this was when the sport of baseball was just getting popular.) I was stuck on one of the ball players. Will something. When the ball players played ball at Lebanon from St. Louis. (they would frequent the saloon.) I cooked dinner for them at the tavern. I cooked potatoes with jackets (skins) on them all the time. Brother George would crab (she raised her voice to be derisive) "I have to work hard at work all day and then come home and work more at peeling potatoes." George was crabby like dad was. Father spoke German all the time until he got a certain age and then learned English. (Grandma spoke some but, very little) I wanted to take German lessons, but, father said no I didn't need to know what was going on in Germany. When I was born no one wanted me. They all said I was "so ugly" and had long black hair. (she had dark brown hair even to very old age 90+ She died at 96yr. age) Father had black hair, but, it turned Gray. Brothers and father would hunt at Hester's house in Summerfield and we would have rabbit and chicken. Mother was crazy about Buff-Coachens (type of chicken they must have raised) We also had a horse and spring buggy. Belle Whitenmier was my teacher. I only went to 3rd. grade. According to Rosa's daughter, Rosemary Rita Hull, this was due to her mom's death and the need for a 9-10 yr. old to stay at home to help with housework. My school was brick and I passed the catholic school on my way. I always wanted to know what it was like. Was good at Geography and writing/ reading. (her handwriting was beautiful for no more formal education other than 3rd. grade-- much better than mine) I walked 10 blocks to school when we lived on Hexabuckle. We moved to Whiskey Flats when mom died. Father started the saloon then. Father lost his first wife on the boat coming over from Germany. She was buried at sea. Father and mother (Christina Geins) married at Summerfield. Father was supposed have been Catholic but, he never went to church. I never went to church. Us kids never went to church. I went to the Methodist church 1-2 times only. Brother Chris was sweet on one of the Roesch (sp?) girls and everyone was surprised when he married Bert. Mary bought the cemetery lot at Lebanon (because one of her children died) 12yr. old burned to death. Sat on the hearth of the stove to put shoes and stockings on and gown caught fire and burned to death. (This is in reference to the death of Mollie.) Father was all for himself. Sister Liz and Em did biggest part of the cooking. Em was a good cook. George and Christ worked in the mine and John a little. I didn't like George. He watched me like a snake. When I would sneak out at night I knew that George would be waiting for me at the gate when I got back. I could put things over on father because he was so old, but, not George. John married a woman by the name of Engleman. My mom died at (the house on Hexabuckle) home. We had a sled and brother made it. We had good times on it. Christ and father used a horse and buggy to go up town to the saloon. Father would go to St. Louis and be gone all day. I would have to open the keg of beer all by myself. I busted it open. Father had a saloon on one side of the street and bought the fellow out across the street in the other saloon. Charlie Normer had a place on Hexabuckle St. that father bought for home place. George helped pay for it. Borrowed money from George to help pay for it. (not sure here if she ment saloon or home. but, as a child she lived above the saloon so it could have been one and the same.) Rose Mary Schmidt Hull in "Arkansas Nursing" home June 1 1979. Interviewed by her grand daughter Kathy Baker Quarti. (Grandma was in the nursing home and I worked there as RN) "My father cooked- baked bread- learned all in Germany when he was in war- Was not 't in service here in US as he said he had enough war at home in Germany. (not sure the last 1/2 of that statement is correct. I took my lunch to school. I'll never forget bread and butter. Father made lunch for me. He said all you need is bread and butter. He gave me hamburger cheese, (don't know what that is)but, all the kids wanted some and I had to divide with them. I never got much for myself." |

Delta Brink Bride thought it was a relative - not one of the twins. Uncle Willie said the twins both died in infancy. We'll probably never know. Anna and Lydia Brink have birth and death dates of 1870 at the "kleeman" field cemetery. |

| 72 | I00106 | SKILL DATES BACK 38 YEARS by Joe Roberts (A member of The Star's staff) J. P. (Percy) Friend stepped down from the 12:30 p. m. Greyhound just in from St. Louis and walked briskly through the 917 McGee street bus terminal to the driver's room to make his reports and to sign in. For 38 years the veteran bus driver has been making similar reports, sometimes with trouser pockets stuffed with fares in bills and coins before collections were streamlined, but this day he had agreed to a chat about busses. "I've got to take the bus to the garage. Got your car? You can ride with me on the bus if you haven't and I'll drive you back here in my car," he said as we shook hands. Riding with Percy seemed an honor stemming from the respect one man has for another who obviously knows his job. The confidence and ease with which he swung the big vehicle into the afternoon traffic was a delight to witness. Nor is his apparent skill just a happenstance. It was built in over years of experience and 3 million miles of driving busses in the public transportation industry. Percy is oldest in service in the company's district here and is the kind of driver Greyhound has in mind when it advises one to relax and "leave the driving to us." Proud of This Card Proudest possession is a card in the driver's identification case which emphasizes that "Greyhound Lines is proud to certify that J. P. Friend" has completed 31 years of safe driving. The date - February 27, 1963. Equally proud of his record is Percy's wife, Helen. More than 38 years ago she was the pretty country school teacher who rode in the seat behiind the driver on his 12-mile run from Nashville, Ill., to Venedy, Ill. In this instance it was LaRue Friend, an older brother, who discovered what was transpiring. He drove the same route on alternate days. "Why aren't you punching that little teacher's bus ticket?" he queried. Percy confessed that he was considering taking over all of his young passenger's ticket worries. "I was one sharp bus driver," he quipped. But it was really the older brother who had been sharp enough to earlier advise his romantic brother to quit his job in a grocery store in his native O'Fallon, Ill., and go to work with Superior Bus Line that led to the latter action. The Brother's Advice "If you want to make some good money, start working for this guy," he advised. "He's going to buy more busses." Big brother apparently was ahead of his time for Percy moved ahead with the industry to Community Motoer Bus, Purple Swan Safety Coach Line, then to Picwick Greyhound-all part of the warp and woof of the present Greyhound corporation. "I drove an old Dodge at first-it was a regular truck chassis-between Scott Field and Belleville, Ill.," he said. "There were long red plush seats along each side of the bus. You could squeeze nine in on each side. "I drove 'em when the bodies were made of wallboard - beaver board we called it then, and I drove 'em when they were built with a sedan door for each seat." In His Blood Perhaps the peppery driver comes by his liking for his job because its in the family. "My father was a streetcar motorman," he explained. "He ran the second streetcar over Eads bridge in St. Louis - the first one was too wide for the bridge. My brother is the oldest driver with the Gulf Transport company. Percy drove the St. Louis run 14 years until 1941 when he switched to the western Kansas highways. He returned here last October. When he started to drive busses only a chauffeur's license was necessary and this was just a recording matter, he recalled. A Big Change "When I started there wasn't any driver training program. We used to take about 20 applicants in a bus and watch them drive in turn. Now a high school or college education is desired and Greyhound has a 6-week drivers school. Then the student drivers are checked over the routes for several round trips before they are permitted to drive regularly. "Why I was even checked out over theSt. Louis route when I returned to this area." The veteran driver observes a simple rule for safety: "When it gets too bad (driving conditions) I park the bus." The most dangerous surface for motor cars in his estimation is "packed snow when it melts." Bus driving isn't monotonous or dull "but it would be if you let it get that way," he said. Some Experiences Experiences such as a 13-hour overnight wait in a Kansas blizzard with 39 passengers aboard; a panicky older passenger who wanted to get off on an icy night in an isolated place in Kansas when he suddenly recalled that he had left the water running in a California irrigation ditch, (Percy called and had the water shut off) and a mental case behind his seat who continued to place long distance calls by dropping half dollars down the window slot - the fact that answers were coming in bothered Percy - are typical of a trip's possible variety. In another instance a passenger became so worried about a home situation that she left the bus and raced up the town's main street. and for a short time Percy did police work to solve the problem. Our conversation concluded in the front seat of a motor car with Percy in the incongruous setting at the wheel of his just-a-bit-larger-than-compact vehicle. But not before the ruddy 177 pounds of energy, looking for all the world like a good blocking back, denied any such athletic prowess. "Nope, when they were having those "track and field events I was usually sitting in the stands with some of the pretty girls," he laughed. Yet he hasn't lost a day because of illness. However,, there was an instance about four years ago when it was rumored all over the circuit that Percy Friend, the indestructible, was through - his electrocardiograph was phenomenal. No one could interpret his heart action. After the company's insistence on a 30--day observance - a non-driving period - it was discovered that the test had been made with the equipment attached erroneously in reverse positions. That was four years ago and regulations call for a heart checkup every six months for those over 40. Percy is 58 years old and all of his subsequent tests, you can rest assured, have been normal. The Friends live at 2607 Buchanan Street, North Kansas City. they have a son, Dale Friend, Salina, Kas., and a daughter, Mrs. Joan DeBeaux, St. Louis, and seven grandchildren. |

| 73 | I00110 | Various newspaper articles re. Sylvester T. Ludwig - newspapers unknown. SYLVESTER t. LUDWIG When the Church of the Nazarene voted in 1944 to make the office of the general secretary a full-time job, it turned to Dr. S. t. Ludwig as its choice for that responsibility. It found in him a capable and well-prepared leader who served effectively in that capacity until the time of his death. Dr. Ludwig was born on April 2 1903 in Moweaqua, Illinois, the son of Theodore and Minnie Ludwig, pastors of a German Methodist church. In 1912 he with his parents joined the Church of the Nazarene at the Pleasant Hill Church near Sylvia, Kansas. He took his high school and college work in Nazarene schools, excelling as a student in each. Additional graduate work was taken in Northwestern University, Wichita University, and Kansas University. After teaching one year in Northwest Nazarene College under the leadership of Dr. H. Orton Wiley, Dr. OLudwig returned to his high school alma mater in Hutchinson, Kansas. After one year's teaching he was elected president and served capably in that capacity an additional nine years. He later served for two years as president of Bethany Nazarene College, with which the school in Hutchinson had been merged. In 1927 he was married to Clara Krey in the same church in which fifteen years earlier he had joined the Church of the Nazarene. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig: a son, who died in infancy; and two daughters, Martha Keys and Oletha Hart, who, along with their mother, survive him. The general church first recognized his ability when it called him as the executive secretary of the Nazarene Young People's Sopciety in 1936. Great advancement maked the six years of his leadership in that office. After his two years as president of Bethany Nazarene College, the general church again laid its hand upon him for its general secretary. "S. T." as he was popularly known, had admirable personal qualifications for his office. He knew the church well, having benn a member since 1912. He had been personally acquainted with all the general leaders since the organization began. He had served as pastor, teacher, administrator, and evangelist. He had attended every General Assembly since 1919 except 1923. He was an able speaker and had a flair for handling details--two qualities not often found in the same individual. Genial in disposition, he was loved and respected by everyone. He served not only as general secretary but also for all or part of the time as executive secretary of the Department of Home Missions and Evangelism, general transportation secretary, general stewardship secretary, director of Nazarene Information Service, along with varied committees and commissions. Death which came on March 3, 1964, interrupted preparations for the Sixteenth General Assembly, into which he had put a full measure fo interest, enthusiasm and attention to the minutest details from a wealth of knowledge attained in four previous assemblies. In his own denominational circles he embodied to his personal life and in his official position all that his church stands for in a godly walk and vital piety." He did not restrict his interests and activities in the international church but was faithful to both district and local church obligations. He was indeed an example in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. His influence extended far beyond his own denomination. As General Secretary he represented the Church of the Nazarene in many fraternal relationships. At heart and in action he was never an isolationist. He was tolerant in the best meaning of the word and exemplified the spirit of true brotherhood. There was never any question concerning the image of the church that he created as he fraternized with those of other communities. His dignity, courtesy, fine sense of humor, his academic backgroun, and above all his unswerving loyality to his church, qualified him to an unusual degree for the responsible position he filled for so many years. We say he has passed away, but his lfie goes on spreading his influence. That influence will extend to the shores of eternity, where his deeds will follow to be assessed and rewarded at the Great Day of Judgment. Excerpts from the Memorial Message by Hugh C. Benner The first Psalm portrays "The Blessed Man." It is an Old Testament picture of a New Testament saint, emphasizing six elements: outward righteousness, inner holiness, consistent achievement, spiritual vitality, true prosperity, and providential security. Surely Dr. S. T. Ludwig was in the category of "The Blessed Man." I have given this in simple outline form, because I come today, not to preach a sermon in the usual sense of the term, but rather to recall, on the background of this pastor, a life lived in the will of God, and to give glory to Christ, whose redeeming grace made possible with a life in our midst. It was to glorify Christ that our brother lived, as was exemplified in his favorite song just sung, "Jesus is All the World to Me." Our problem is not that of finding something to say, but to choose from the broad range of areas which might be considered appropriately. In the light of this problem I shall speak in summary rather than in some few details. And all that I shall include constitutes a priceless legacy to the loved ones and friends. It is well that we be reminded of the wealth of excellent and admirable qualities which were combined in the character and personality of this good man:integrity, dependability, solicitude for others, courtesy, a sense of humor (in which he could "take" as well as "give"), loyalty, courage, respect for colleagues, discipline, thoroughness, devotion, accuracy, dignity and the investment of every assignment with serious meaning. Again, we shall remember Dr. Ludwig for the wide range of his interests. He was deeply devoted to his home and loved ones, and took great pride in his chldren and grandchildren. He loved the Church of the Nazarene and gave it full and effective service, not only in the broader ranges, but in his local church. We shall miss his frequent and fervent "Amen" in Kansas City First Church. Dr. Ludwig was a churchman in the highest sense of the term. Among his many interest, young people, and especially their preparation for life, were a deep concern. In recent days testimonies have been heard as to his willingness to give time to young folk and their problems. Our whole educational program has benefited greatly from his numerous activities in that area. In considering this message I have thought of Dr. Ludwig in terms of Bible characters, for a good and godly man is found to be kindred to all other good and godly men. Like Joseph he was "discreet and wise", and like Samuel he grew "in favour both with the Lord, and also with men." Of him, as was said of Daniel, we can testify, "An excellent spirit . . . . and understanding. . . . . were found" in him. As was recorded of Barnabas, "he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." But of all such men, I feel that the characterizations of Tychicus, a companion of Paul, apply to Dr. Ludwig. Paul wrote that Tschicus was "a beloved borother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord." He seems to have been the one on whom the Early Church depended for information and various special assignments. Apparently he was a kind of general church secretary. How liek our Dr. Ludwig: Truly he was a beloved brother, faithful in ministry and always sharing responsibility as a fellow servant. Dr. S. T. Ludwig will be missed greatly. Mrs. Ludwig and the daughters will miss him, and we assure them of our continuing prayers. His colaborers will miss him and there will be an empty place at Headquarters. Earth is poorer today, but heaven is richer. And for our brother, the final reality for which he lived has dawned. He now enjoys the eternal fruitage of holiness. Also I read of heaven, "His servants wshall serve him," and knowing Dr. Ludwig, probably he already has received his first heavenly assignment. Today we see only the reverse side of God's woven fabric of existence. But one day, we shall all see the finished pattern in all its beauty and perfection and know for ever that "death is swallowed up in victory." As Dr. Ludwig Desired HE DIED "in the Horness" by Nazarene Information Service Dr. S. T. Ludwig, who served nearly twenty years as general secretary of the Church of the Nazarene, was the first general church official, outside of eight general superintendents, to die in office. Busy with extra work in connection with the upcoming Sixteenth General Assembly in Portland, Oregon, June 18 to 26, it is appropriate to say that Dr. Ludwig died "in the harness," a metaphor he would have liked, since he always was close to the soil. Dr. Ludwig had made several trips to Portland during the last year. His last one was February 6 to 20, from which he returned very tired and ill. He had kept a series of committee appointments in Portland, to check on arrangements, and also had improved on the opportunity to make an air trip alone to Vancouver, where he visited an aged uncle over a weekend at nearby Abbotsford, in British Columbis, Canada. Of the eleven men, not including the six incombents who have served in the office of general superintendent, eight died in office. The first was Dr. Phiness F. Bresee, the founder and guiding spirit of the Church of the Nazarene, who was re-elected the last time at the age of seventy-seven, but who died shortly thereafter. The other seven general superintendents who died in office were: Dr. R. T. Williams, Sr., who lingered for five months after a stroke; Dr. W. C. Wilson, who died six months after his election; Dr. J. B. Chapman, who was stricken a few hours after a church conference; and Dr. J. W. Goodwin, Dr. J. G. Morrison, Dr. H. V. Miller, and Dr. Orval J. Nease, all of whom passed away quite suddenly. Dr. Ludwig's predecessor in the office of general secretary, Dr. E. J. Fleming, who also served the church in that capacity for about twenty years, died ten years ago, on December 18, 1951. TELEGRAMS SCORES of telegrams and cablegrams were received from around the world from missionaries, laymen, pastors, evangelists, educators, superintendents, and respresentatives of interdenominational groups with which Dr. Ludwig worked. Protestant stewardship interest were represented in person at the memorial service by Dr. T. K. Thompson of New York City. General Superintendents D. I. Vanderpool and V. H. Lewis were unable to be present at the funeral service, but wired and cabled as follows: Words cannot express our feeling of sorrow and loss at the passing of Dr. Ludwig. He made a heroic effort to get well. We had so hoped that he would be in the General Assembly at Portland, but this seems in the providence of God. You have our deepest sympathy and earnest prayers in this time of your great sorrow. - Dr. and Mrs. D. I. Vanderpool. A great church leader has gone to his reward. We extend sympathy to Mrs. Ludwig and family. We are praying for you these days - V. H. Lewis, Cleve James, and India missionaries. THE MEMORIAL SERVICE FUNERAL SERVICES were held for Dr. Ludwig at the First Church of the Nazarene, Kansas City, 2:0 p.m., March 6, and at the graveside in Greenlawn Cemetery in Kansas City. In the church service, Pastor C. William Ellwanger gave the invocation adn General Superintendent Samuel Young read the scripture and spsoke of Dr. Ludwig's life and work. The pastoral prayer was offered by General Superintendent G. B. Williamson, and Dr. Roy H. Cantrell, chairman of the Department of Education read telegrams and communications. General Superintendent Hugh C. Benner brought the message emphasizing the Christian integrity and the graces of the Spirit manifest in Dr. Ludwig's life and character. General Superintendent Hardy C. Powers spoke briefly and prayed the prayer of benediction. Music was provided by Ray and Gary Moore, vocalists, and Mrs. Eleanor Whitsett at the organ. Dr. Ludwig's headquarters colleagues served as active and honorary pallbearers. At the graveside service Dr. Powers read the scripture with commital by Rev. C. William Ellwanger and prayer by Dr. Young. At the request of the family numerous individuals and groups contributed to a memorial educational fund to be set up to the memory of Dr. Ludwig rather than presenting floral pieces or in addition thereto.

GINES We are taught in the work of God that man was created a little lower than the angels. Whatever this may mean to us, we are sure that the Marvelous Cabinet consisting of reason, Will, and Conscience, are God-given powers and by these man is distinguished from the beasts sof the field with capacity for higher rational life and Spiritual insight. To this truth John Wesley Gines was awakened years ago by the birth of a moral personality. In Bible terms we wold say he was "born again" or truly converted to Jesus, and later saw the consistency of the teaching of God's word relation to the doctrine of heart holiness, and our ransom powers being fully dedicated to God. This was the experience that gave this good man a never dying zeal and fervor for the salvation of men and the prosperity of the cause of Christ. It was the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that pressed the matter of a place of worship upon the heart of Bro. Gines while living near Taswell Crawford County Indiana. There was no finance and not many people interested but despite the prevailing indifference and unfavorable surroundings - his faith touoched the God of Miracles and the church was erected. Grand revivals followed and many who were converted to Christunder the labors of John Gines have long since gone to their heavenly reward. It was almost 26 years ago since Bro. Gines located in Daviess County North of Washington. Again the revival fire was kindled in his heart and plans were set in operation for an ingathering of Souls. As a result of this inspiration more than one hundred and fifty people were converted to Christ in the old theater building on West VanTrees St. and a Free Methodist Church organized with forty-four Charter members. Later followed the erection of the building, we worship in today. Bro. Gines has served the Church through all the reverses and problems that are common to those who carry responsibility in religious activities. Many times has he been elected as delegate to the Annual Conference of his Church. Also served as Local Preacher, Class Leader and Chairman of various committees. Yet with an humble attitude and congenial Spirit he won the hearts and love of many people in and outside of Church circles. We would not forget while we mention the many virtues of this good man that a consecrated devoted mother in Israel shared her life in all the efforts which were crowned with success. Ida M. Burget to whom he was married November 24, 1887. Never failed to play the part of a faithful wife and an affectionate mother. For 53 years they have journeyed together and reared a family of six children. One having died at an early age. Living are Rolla H. Gines, Washington, Indiana; Ray I. Gines, Bloomington, Indiana; Oral N. Gines, Washington, Indiana; Isis M. Hoss, Washington, Indiana; Dorothy B.Riggs, Bloomington, Indiana; and Herald M.Gines, Washington, Indiana beside 23 grand children and 3 great grand children. Well done thou good and faithful servant, are the words of our dear Lord. Your toils have won for you a crown, up here is your reward. What glorious things you shall behold. Eye hath not seen nor hath ear heard. But mansions fair so we are told, are for the saints so says the Lord. Wanda L.

Per Larry Herrin: !LINEAGE: George Ann Waxler Family Data Sheet for Elijah Thompson (mailed by Pat Miller, Florence, Al). Family Data sheet from Patricia Miller 2344 Roberts Ln. Florence, Al. 35650. Elijah was on the membership list in November 1821 at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. The other adult males attending there were Isaac Herrin, William Herrin and Shadrack Herrin. From 1810-1840 Census information, he was not the son of William. He is too young to be the child of Shadrack, since Shadrack would have been approximately 50 years old in 1813. Also, if you look at the names of his children, you'll see Isaac, Rebecca, Hannah, Lydia, John and all the familiar names of Shadrack Herrin and William Herrin family. .......................................................................... Per 1820 Pulaski Co., KY Census Isaac Herrin had only one son and he was 0-10 years old (1810-1820). Elijah was born in 1813. Isaac Herrin was the Delegate from Mt.
