In 1917 he purchased an adjoining farm of 80 acres for $2500. Ren's ancestors were all members of the Reformed Presbyterian (Covenanter) Church and his grandfather Robert Piper, who came from the North of Ireland, was one of the early settlers of Washington County. During his boyhood Ren helped build the present Covenanter Church building at Oakdale and he was later an elder in this church for 34 years. After completing his elementary education he attended classes in the former Covenanter Church building and he later attended classes in the Coulterville Academy. As a young man Ren helped to lay the roadbed for the Illinois Southern Railroad (now Missouri-Illinoois) using a team of horses and a road scraper. During World War I he was instrumental in the purchase of mules for the United State Army. On August 12, 1903, Ren was united in marriage with Nancy Emily (Emma) Blair (January 13, 1874-August 13, 1966) of Cutler, Illinois and they were the parents of seven children: 1) John H., 2) Dwight F., 3) Irene (November 1, 1907-December 7, 1968), 4) Evelyn (Mrs. Clarence Stevenson), 5) Hazel (February 7, 1911-July 2, 1937), 6) Wilmer R., 7) Helen (Mrs. Archie Woodrome). Before her marriage Emma taught for ten years in the rural one-room schools of Perry and Randolph counties.

Hazel was teaching in Midland, Pa. and Irene in Okawville High school at the time of their deaths. Irene taught in various schools in Washington County and taught for four years in the American Academy in Nicosia, Cyprus. Hazel, Irene and their parents are buried in the Oakdale Cemetery.

| 812 | I0610 | Melchior Mellinger migrated to America on October 16, 1772 along with his wife who died at sea, two nephews, and his sister Christine Mellinger Burkholder and her husband. The nephews were the sons of Melchior's brother, Johannes Jacob Mellinger. Melchior can be found on the 1790 Lancaster Co, PA census records and the 1800 census records where he is recorded as overseer of the poor house. Goshen Archives: That frontier settlements were not without certain cultural treasures is testified to in the recod of Melchior Mellinger's personal property. Mellinger's heirs sold on January 20, 1807 his library consisting of at least forty-four books. Many were in German. the books were on theology, the bible, geography, arithemetic, and history. There were Latin and German dictionaries, maps of South America and Asia, Barclay's Apology, Godfred (sp) Arnold's History and Menno Simons' Confession. The county probate Court Record, C.P. Dock 13, 1807, which records the sale is one of the earliest records of its kind in Columbiana County. A copy of a Devotional Book of the Swiss Mennonites that was owned by Melchior Mellinger and listed in his estate at time of his death, is housed in the Schwenkfelder Library at Pennsburg, PA. This writer was allowed to hold and look through the book, it is still in pretty good condition though the clasps have been broken and the cover is somewhat used.

Melchior Mellinger settled in Salem Township in 1803, having come from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Melchior purchased section 24 with his son in law Martin Hoke. It seems likely that the ship they came over on was the Crawford which docked in Philadelphia on October 16, 1772. The ship had started out in Amsterdam and then stopped in Cowes, England, and then proceded on to Philadelphia, a normal route for those days. |

| 822 | I06151 | The family tree of descendents of Frances Torrens may be incorrect. It was difficult to follow the article as it was written. It was not really clear to whom most of the children belonged. Article as printed: Frances and Isabella Torrens immigrated from County Donegal, Ireland in 1839, coming through Philadelphia to Washington County. Frances entered land from the Government 8/7/1839 northeast of Oakdalae. One of their sons, John Torrens, was born in Ireland about 1819 and married Mary McKnight of Sparta. Their son was James McKnight Torrens. James McKnight Torrens b. 8/2/1844, d. 9/30/1921 |
| 823 | I06155 | Per Narratives of Randolph County, he was a farmer on his father's home place and died suddenly. |
| 824 | I0616 | [mccullar.ftw] They had 6 children. |
| 825 | I06164 | Per Narratives of Randolph County, he was a professor in Mt. Vernon, Illinois schools in 1957. |
| 826 | I0617 | [mccullar.ftw] They had one daughter. |
| 827 | I0625 | [mccullar.ftw] They had 5 children. We do not have the children's name. |
| 828 | I0626 | [mccullar.ftw] They had one child. |
| 829 | I0627 | Five children were listed as born in Germany, two of them died. First born is Johann Jacob Mellinger on Dec 14, 1739. The last record of David in Germany is at the birth of his son Philip Jacob Mellinger on Oct 4, 1751. No later records were found in Germany for David, wife Catharina Magdelena, son Johann Jacob, daughter Maria Magdelena, and son Philip Jacob. On November 8, 1752, David is listed as a passenger on the ship Snow Louisa arriving in Philadelphia. It would seem likely that his wife and three remaining children traveled with him. David was taxed at Cocalico Twp in 1756 and 1757 and apparently died sometime shortly after the 1757 tax record. In a will written Oct. 13, 1784 and executed Dec 15, 1784, Magdelena Mellinger left her possessions to "the children of my deceased husband John Jacob: Magdalena, Susanna, and Anna." Her will does not mention other of her own children. Apparently son John Jacob Mellinger was married and had four daughters. |

And it is further my will that after my death, all my personal property (which my beloved wife BARBARA shall not choose to take and keep during her natural life) shall be sold by my executors as soon after my decease as may be convenient, at public vendue.

| 841 | I0645 | In the 1920 Lawrence Co, Petty Twp census records, Dan is found listed as step son to Milton and Francis Houser. This would seem to indicate that both parents had died by then. |
| 842 | I06451 | Died on Oct 14, 1867; only 14 days ago he with his family, his 75 yr. old father and his father-in-law arrived here from Germany. This would make his birth date May 10, 1821. After the death of Henry and Anna Heitmeyer and the other two children the four remaining children grew up locally under the guardianship of Fred Kleeman. At the time of their parents death Anna was 15, Louisa 13, Henry 9, and Christian 8. Box 102 - "Heirs of Hy. Heitmeyer" gives us an insight into this. The court appointed Fred Kleeman as Guardian of Henry and Christian on December 16, 1867 apparently because they were under age fourteen. the census of 1870 entitles the Inhabitants of Township #1 South Range Two West, Washington County, Illinois: Post Office; Minden, on page 6 lists living at house 120: Frederick Kleeman, age 50, farmer Louisa, age 40, wife Martha, age 12 Louis, age 8 Henry, age 6 Lydia, age 2 Next door in House 121 are listed: Hitemeyer, Henry, age 13, M. Bavaria Christ, age 10, M. Louisa, age 16, F. Apparently the children under guardianship lived in a separate house next door to the Kleemans. Apparently all did not go well with this arrangement for the boys as nine years later in March 1876 petition to the probate court was filed. this is quite interesting and reads as follows: "State of Illinois, Washington County, In probate court to March term A.D. 1876. Petition for Citation - In the matter of Fred Kleeman, guardian for Anna Heitmeyer, Louisa Heitmeyer, Henry Heitmeyer, Christian Heitmeyer - Children of Henry Heitmeyer, deceased. To the Honorable M. M. Goodner, County Judge for the County of Washington and State of Illinois, humbly complaining come your petitioners: Louisa, now intermarried with William Brink; Anna, now intermarried with Henry Feiker, in their own proper persons, Henry and Christian Heitmeyer by their next friend,m William Brink, and represents and shows unto your Honor that they are the only children of and left surviving Henry Heitmeyer, deceased. And your petitioners further show unto your Honor that one Fred Kleeman was appointed the guardian of your Petitioners by this Honorable court on December 16, 1867; and your petitioners further state that since his said appointment and the filing of his bond as such guardians of your petitioners that he, the said Fred Kleeman had never at any time since made any report to this court of his doings as such guardian - --------that the said Fred Kleeman at the time of his appointment or soon thereafter collected or should have collected the sum of Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars and Sixty Cents, money belonging to your petitioners in equal proportions.

The farmers of Shelby County are, as a rule, men of industry, intelligence, thrift and perseverance, as well as of independence, and this last trait has been as big a factor in the making of their success as the others. One of the successful men of Shelby County is Henry C. Heitmeyer of Flat Branch Township, who has been shifting for himself since the early age of thirteen. Mr. Heitmeyer was born February 7, 1856, in Prussia, Germany, a son of Henry and Anna Heitmeyer, who came to the United States in 1864, landing at New York and going thence to St. Louis, Mo. Shortly thereafter the family located in Nashville, Washington County, Illinois, where two of the children died, the mother following soon after, and on the day of her burial the father became ill and also died. Four children were left, two boys and two girls, the latter being placed with a family together, while the boys, Henry C. and Christ, lived together at the home of a German farmer near Hoyleton, Illinois. Later they were taken back by their guardian, the German farmer at whose home the parents had died, and with him Henry C. Heitmeyer resided until his thirteenth year, when he started in life for himself, working out among the farmers of that vicinity until twenty-five years old. In 1880 he came to Shelby County with about $1,100, $600 of which he had received from the family estate, and he purchased eighty acres of land in Flat Branch township, at $18 per acre. This was the nucleus of his present fortune. He remained on this farm until 1894, adding forty more acres at $10 an acre, and erecting new buildings and improving it in many ways. In 1984 he sold this farm for $60 an acre, about the highest price that land in this vicinity has brought, and purchased 180 acres of his present farm, later sold twenty acres, and then purchased seventy-five acres more at $60 an acre, making now a farm of 235 acres, situated two miles south of Moweaqua. It was formerly the home of William Workman, who improved it some extent, and is used by Mr. Heitmeyer as a grain and stock farm, and is fully tiled. As a cattle feeder and shipper, Mr. Heitmeyer is known throughout the county, and for fifteen years he has been shipping stock to Indianapolis and Chicago. In addition to his Illinois property, he owns an excellent tract of 534 acres in Monroe County, Mo., which cost him $85 an acre, and which now is worth much more than that figure. Starting with his small capital of $1,100, Mr. Heitmeyer has won success through his individual industry and shrewdness, and enjoys the distinction of being one of the county's most substantial citizens. On January 1, 1881, Mr. Heitmeyer was married to Anna M. Brink, who was born and raised near Nashville, Washington County, Illinois and they have had the following children: Laura, who married A. W. Pistorius, who operates a part of the Missouri farm; Arthur, who also farms part of the Missouri farm; Pearl, Laurence, Bennie, Rachel, Noble and Vernon. Mr. Heitmeyer is a Republican in political matters, and he has served in the capacity of Road Commissioner. He is a member of the German Methodist Episcopal Church at Moweaqua, which he is serving as Trustee. Raymond L. Brink shared with his daughter memories from his childhood of driving to Moweaqua with his parents to visit with the Heitmeyers. He particularly remembered Noble Heitmeyer. Mr. Heinrich Heitmeyer's wife, Anna, was a daughter of Christian, who is Raymond's great uncle. From notes of Raymon Lawton: Per the 1900 Census Henry C. Heitmeyer was born in January 1855. He was naturalized in 1864. The obituary of Henry C. Heitmeyer states that he died on February 23, 1936. He was buried in the Salem Cemetery east of Mowequa, Illinois. His obituary states that he was born on February 7, 1856 in Prussia, Germany. He came to this country in 1865 and moved near Mowequa in 1880. On January 1, 1881 he married Anna M. Brink. He had 8 children as listed in the obituary of Anna except that this obituary lists Ben as living in Pana. The obituary stated that he left 14 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. At the time of his death his age was given as 80 years and 16 days. The book "Mowequa Remembers" page 87, quotesw Lawrence Heitmeyer remembersing his father, Henry Heitmeyer, Jr., stating he went hunting for food with a muzzel loading gun, butchering the meat, and hand schucking corn. In the same book Rachael states that Henry Heitmeyer was born in Posen, Germany. He was 9 years old when the family came with a group to St. Louis and then up to Centralia. The burial list of the Ludwig Cemetery in Mowequa, Illinois regarding Henry and Anna Heitmeyer states that Rachael was born in 1897 and still living. Pearl M. 1887 to 1958. Henry C. Heitmeyer, February 7, 1856 to February 23, 1936, Anna M. August 1, 1860 to June 2, 1930. It states that Henry was born in Prussia to Henry and Anna Heitmeyer and came to the U.S. in 1864 to WashingtonCounty, Illinois, then to Shelby County in 1880. They were married on January 1, 1881. Anna Brink was born n Washington County, Illinois. His stone in the Cemetery gives his birth as February 7, 1856 adn his death as February 23, 1936. The History of Shelby County 1910, page 843, states that Henry C. Heitmeyer was born Feb. 7, 1856 in Prussia, Germany, the son of Henry and Anna Heitmeyer and came to the U.S. in 1864 landing in New York, next to St. Louis, Mo. and then to Nashville, Washington County, Illinois. Here 2 children and their mother and father died. The 2 remaining girls were placed with a family together and the two boys lived at a farmers home hear Hoyleton. They were later taken back by their Guardian, the german farmer where their parents died. Henry left here at the age of 13, and worked for a farmer in the area and at the age of 25 moved to Shelby County. |
| 844 | I06459 | Per Pal Heitmeyer, Jr., when they first came to Portland they bought a farm in Corvalis, Oregon. The area is on the turn off to Albany to Corvalis and over the river. There are radio towers there and the farm was behind these in the valley. Paul, Sr. was 3 or 4 when they got there. At the age of 10 or 11 he got rickets and Chris put him in the attic so the others would not get it. I believe that when the family came west that Elza stayed in Illinois the the farm and after they got settled in Corvalis, Powis went back to Illinois, sold the farm and came back west. The family home or farm that I remember as a child was located at 128th and Gleason - 12741 Gleason N.E., Portland, Oregon. The barn in the rear, now a garage, is still there. There is a new wing on the south side but otherwise it is the same. |
