From DeWayne B. Johnson on 15 Jun 2010:

I think my nickname "Doc" dates back at least 75 years, perhaps to 1935. I was 15 years old. My older brother Clifford and I worked on my uncle's (George M. Talbot Dairy) dairy ranch in Burbank. Neither of us milked cows but we did almost everything else -- washing bottles, pasteurizing and bottling milk, churning of buttermilk, pitching hay, mucking out the muck, and much more. Clifford called me "Doc" and I called him "Joe." Uncle George had a hay ranch out east (?) of Lancaster and pasture land down near Irvine. I rode mules and horses in the course of my work. Fell off more than once, brushed off by low-hanging branches. Otherwise, I am no horseman!

Clifford's nickname never stuck, but mine remained with me even up to today! I earned a real doctorate at UCLA in mass communications and education in 1955. Throughout my professional career as a journalist and professor of journalism, my colleagues and students have hailed me as "Doc." They still do. It feels good to be one of them and not an outsider!

I run the risk of bragging a bit -- two Pulitzer Prizes with a select few on the LATimes editorial staff, and twice honored by the California Publishers Association as THE outstanding professor of journalism in the state of California. (Oh, I am shameless!) So I may be something of a legend, my ego says, but that truly remains to be seen.

Death Notes: From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska, newspaper: "The community was shocked and saddened Friday morning by the news of the sudden death of Alex Johnson while he was visiting relatives at North Platte. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and family left here on Saturday, May 24 for a visit with her sister and her family at North Platte. On Thursday Mr. Johnson was taken very sick with ptomanine [sic] poisoning. A physician was called and he began to improve. Friday morning he was able to be up, but complained of a headache and was lying down. Mrs. Johnson had gone to another room to get some medicine for his headache and was gone only a very short time but when she returned he had passed away. Physicians were called, but could do nothing, death being due to a sudden heart attack."

General Notes: Occupation: Carpenter. From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska newspaper: "...They established their home in Newman Grove [in 1912] and have resided her continuously ever since. During these years he has built many of the buildings in both the town and vicinity and was considered a thorough conscientious workman, of pleasant and kindly disposition of whom only good was spoken."

From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

"(The 'L' in my father's name was not an initial because that was the 'name' and hence takes no period.)...

"Today the mini-park near downtown [Newman Grove] includes the bandstand where my father played oboe in the town band...

"That is the man I tagged along with to his woodshop down near the granary. From that woodshop I still smell the gragrant homemade glues in their heating pots, I see the wood grains from rare specimens that went into carefully crafted table tops, bowls, cabinetry, and hear the scrabbling of tiny rodent feet fleeing for cover when the doors we opened.

"I tagged along as he walked the streets in town, greeted heartily by everyone he met. I know now that as a carpenter he built many of the buildings, homes, in town and surrounding vicinities."

DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of him on 8/17/1986:

"His hands were heavily wrinkled, tanned, scarred; his fingernails were ragged and never seemed quite rid of the residue of the day's labors. The brown, blood-clot areas under the nails were evidence of the beating the hands took as he hammered, pried, used his sinewy strength to build homes, schools, churches, and his artistic touch on fine cabinetry, delicate inlaid wooden trays, a variety of carved or lathe-turned items that would today be labeled 'examples of wood artisans, Early American Primitive to Post-World War I.'

"This carpenter's hands were gentle. To a small boy's hands they were tremendous, warm and snug retreats during proud walks on the streets of Newman Grove, Nebraska, where Alexander L Johnson was known far and wide as 'Alex.' (The 'L' had no period' it stood for nothing. To those who insisted it had to stand for 'something,' a concession was made: Lloyd, or possibly Loyd. One 'L' or two, it made no difference because truly it stood for nothing.

"I remember those hands as he warmly shook hands of others during those prized walks: Alex was clearly loved, respected by everyone, those townfolks with the funny foreign-sounding names...

"It flits through my mind to recall his hands, the dancing fingers as he played the oboe in the town band during its summertime concerts in the park band shell. And the strong, mascuiline right hand and the convincingly feminine left hand as 'Alex' costumed himself half male and half female for some annual celebration and parade down Main Street.

"Alex and his skills were in great demand; it is likely that some of the rural schools he built -- some of them single-handedly -- still stand today in some corners of Nebraska where Alex Johnson has long been forgotten. And Alex Johnson's houses absolutely remain, with their fashionable gingerbread of the time, and the curved staircases with their fancy railings, the hardwood floors, the weighted window sashes, and the trademark cabinetry.

"Alex had a hand in building the brick schools of Newman Grove, primary grads and high school For a short period he even taught wood shop at the high school (probably as a substitute teacher)...

"The lights went out for a 10-year-old boy on a spring day in 1930 when his father died in a farm house at North Platte, Nebraska.

"The bewilderment remains to this day -- one day so much alive, so much enjoying the fishing, the catching, the eating, and the next day quiet whispers, somber tip-toeing so as not to disturb. (The doctor surmised the death was caused by ingesting spoiled fish.) The return to Newman Grove on a bright Sunday morning, the church bells ringing, and still the 10-year-old could not understand."

Research Notes: Middle initial L does not stand for anything. It is simply L without a period. It may not be on his birth certificate.

Excerpts from obituary in Newman Grove weekly newspaper, fully quoted in a letter to daughter Janine Johnson 8/17/1986, p. 4:

Alexander L. Johnson was born in Seward county, Nebraska September 28, 1885 and and passed away at the home of relatives at North Platte May 30, 1930 at the age of 44 years and 8 months.

They established their home in Newman Grove [occupying the house recently vacated by Conrad Erickson and known forever as 'the Erickson House'] and have resided here continuously ever since. During these years he has built many of the buildings in both the town and vicinity and was considered a thorough, conscientious workman, of pleasant and kindly disposition of whom only good was spoken.

General Notes: From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

"I remember her heating gladirons in the oven and ironing clothing and linens by the light of kerosene lanterns. That same oven turned out freshly baked bread unlike any found in the markets of today...

"My mother played the piano for pleasure--hers and the family's. I can also hear the tinkling notes of 'Angel Voices Ever Near'--and weep at the memory.

"She died in 1942 at age 49 in Long Beach, Calif. She should be remembered for many things (pecan pies!), but a couple of memories stand out.

"There were the Saturday night family baths in that big galvanized tub in the kitchen, filled with hot water from the top of the wood stove. My turn came late and the water was fairly well saturated with [grime] of the weeke when my turn arrived. I never saw my parents as they bathed spared major destruction."
---------
Son DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of his mother, Lula Mae, on 8/17/1986:

"The 12 years of widowhood -- it seems a short time now but a long time then in the context of a boy growing through the teens -- for my mother were mostly years spent scraping to stay alive, taking in boarders, working on my uncle's [George M. Talbot's] dairy ranch, slaving at Jergen's soap factory. She even worked for a time as cook and housekeeper for the movie stars Frances Dee and Joel McCrea.

"Very soon after Alex's death the 37-year-old widow, three children, cousin Owen Mulholland made their way across country in the Model A Ford open touring car to California, Burbank. We came at the invitation of Uncle George M. Talbot, owner of the Talbot Dairy.

"Of that trip, the rust-orange dust accumulated while crossing Arizona evokes the strongest memory. There were flat tires, how many I have no way of recalling...

"Lula and Aunt Fannie Talbot belonged to the Bon Ami social club, primarily devoted to bridge. (The tagalong youngsters popped popcorn and played street games: tag, run sheep run, hide and seek, totally inocuous by today's standards.) Most of the Bon Ami members were married couples. It was that group that constituted the bulk of Lula's contacts, leading to the job at Jergens soap and to acquaintanceship with widower Frank Joanis, a Burbank grocer.

"Their dating continued for several years until Joanis quite suddenly married another woman whom he had recently met.

"The move to Long Beach was occasioned by supposed house maid opportunities that never materialized...

"My mother died at 49, the victim of a fad starvation diet that was supposed to reduce the size of a goiter, more imaginary than real (Real enough but of no consequence.)

"She was a loving mother, ill-equipped to help a young man, Clifford, and a growing boy, DeWayne, to understand the changes in their male bodies...

"To put things a bit into historical perspective, World War II was well along when Lula died. The Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor had occurred six months previous, Dec. 7, 1941. Lorna and I were married on Aug. 22, 1942, soon after her death in June."

Excerpts from short autobiography by Edward H. Wallace dated 4 May 1920:

"Born in a log house on a rented farm, near Ponsonby, P.O., Pilkington Tp., Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada, April 16, 1872. Children preceding, Maud, now wife of Dr. H. H. Healy, Grand Forks, North Dakota; William Havelock, executive secretary Y.M.C.A., Los Angeles. Following, Ernest Hazlewood, Attorney, New Orleans, Lewis Herbert, President First National Bank, Newport Beach, California; Charles Horace, Cashier same bank at time of death, February, 1914. In 1879 family removed to Elora [Wellington Tp, Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada], five miles distant. November 1880 to Lincoln, Nebraska residing on a farm ten miles distant until February , 1881 when removed to Drayton, North Dakota, the family exchequer consisting of $2.40. Father filed on pre-emption one mile from town to which family removed in April and mother died the next month. Three years later father returned to Canada and married Mary Larter, mother's particular friend. To this union came Gertrude, who died at the age of two years Ella Irene, in 1887 and Maxwell Raymond, 1890.

"The railroad came to Drayton in 1887. In September, 1887 went with older brother [William H. Wallace] to Hamline University, St. Paul [Minnesota], where brother had been a short time the previous year. In December father sold his land and other property at Drayton to go to Pasadena, California and go into business with his brothers Albert and Frank who had preceded him. Will and Ed joined the party in Minneapolis. Father, after arriving, decided otherwise, bought other farms at Drayton and returned in March, 1888. Will and Ed helped with the farm work and returned to Hamline in the fall. Thus they continued until they finished the preparatory course, Ed working for the Nebraska Telephone Company in Lincoln, Nebraska, for fifteen months. Both returned to Hamline and were graduated together in 1895. Both worked hard throughout the course supplementing the assistance their father could give them. The summer of [18]93 Will was conductor on street-car line in St. Paul and Ed sold papers and collected and distributed laundry at the race-track of the State Fair Grounds. In December 1895 Ed took an office position with the Amenia and Sharon Land Co. at Amenia, North Dakota, setting about diligently to learn the grain business. In 1898 he enlisted in the North Dakota regiment for Philippine service but was disqualified because of physical defect and returned to his work at Amenia. That summer he went to Prescott, Wisconsin to ask Eleanor Dill to marry him. When they were in college together he thought he loved her but went out to get started in business and learn for sure. When they found that love was mutual, things took the usual course. They became engaged July 28th and were married the following July 27th. Eleanor's Uncle, M. T. Dill, had grown old in the grain business at Prescott and, to be relieved of some of the burden, invited Wallace to join with him and two of his old-time Employees in the M. T. Dill Grain Company. This partnership was effected August 1, 1900 and continued for eight years. Here four children were born to the couple-Jean, July 10, 1900;' John Donald, July 8, 1903; Marjorie, March 23, 1905 and William Dill January 5, 1907...

"To Long Beach, California the family removed in July, 1908 where he took a position in the Exchange National Bank which had been organized by his brother Will. He was soon made Assistant Cashier and Director. From this position he went to the Marine Commercial and Savings Bank as Vice President in January, 1916. This bank was then about two years old, had deposits of $300,000, and was paying no dividends. Now it has deposits of two and a half millions, is paying ten percent and earning much more.

"Another child, Eleanor Thompson, was born into this family January 16, 1914."

Birth Notes: From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunenburg_District%2C_Ontario):
Eastern District was one of four districts of Upper Canada created in 1788 . It comprised the St. Lawrence-Quebec border area, now eastern Ontario. It was originally named Lunenburg District, likely for the Brunswick-Lüneburg , but was renamed in 1792. It was abolished in 1849.
The district was originally bounded to the west by a line running north from the mouth of the Gananoque River and to the east by Lower Canada . The district town was New Johnstown, later renamed Cornwall . In 1798, the district was reorganized to consist of the counties of:
Dundas
Glengarry
Ontario (abolished in 1800)
Prescott
Russell
Stormont
In 1849, the district was replaced by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry .

Christening Notes: May have been baptized in the Free Presbyterian Church, Lunenburg (same as the Church of Scotland?).

Death Notes: Death date from "Decree Establishing Death of Joint Tenant" dated 15 Aug 1944.

General Notes: Wallace family nickname "Monie."

Research Notes: Written evidence in Lorna Doone Wallace (Johnson) collection does not show Poapst spelled "Paupst." However, a postcard from Edith to her motherdated 19 February 1907, addresses her as "Mrs. Helen Poaps." Later family records and photographs consistently have "Poapst."

Johnson, J. J. Johnson, and Jorgen Jacob Jorgensen.

Birth Notes: 1900 Census has John J Johnson and his parents born in Germany. Mary reported born in Denmark. Census has born August 1844, which differs from the obituary. His obituary has his birthdate as 15 August 1854. Mark Johnson has a source with 27 August 1854. It is my guess that 27 August 1854 was the date of his christening.

Obituary says "Bau, Denmark," but there is no such place. However, "Bau" is the German for Bov in Sonderjylland (South Jutland) county on the Jutland peninsula in south Denmark. The main town is Padborg. Since Bau/Bov was held by Germany from 1864 to 1920, that explains the discrepancy. Bov was Danish at the time John Jacob was born.

The city of Bov (German Bau) in the area of Flensborg in Denmark was the site of the Battle of Bov, which began the First Schleswig War on 9 April 1848. Schleswig-Holstein was trying to separate from Denmark. Danish troops defeated a combined force of German, Austrian and Prussian troops. The First Schleswig War lasted from 1848 through 1851, resulting in a Danish victory. The Second Schleswig War erupted on 1 February 1864, when Prussian forces crossed the border into Schleswig. That war ended on 30 October 1864, when Denmark ceded the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia and Austria. The Schleswig Plebiscites in 1919 and 1920 resulted in the return of the Aabenraa district to Denmark.

Death Notes: Died in St Marys Hospital in Fort Dodge. His residence was in Paton, Iowa. He was a retired farmer at the time of his death. The handwritten notes on his death certificate are difficult to decipher. The best guess is that he was in the hospital from 25 Sept 1929 to 29 Sept 1929, with death about 8:50 p.m. Exploratory surgery had been conducted on 28 Sept 1929. The immediate cause of death was shock due to surgery after attempting relief from an obstruction having to do with his liver (?). A contributory cause was "carcinonotisis."

His death certificate gives his parents' names as Lauretz Johnson (b. Denmark) and Carloine Casperson (b. Germany). The informant was Wm. J. Johnson [his son] of Plover, Ia.

Burial Notes: From FindAGrave.com:
John immigrated in 1881 from Germany or Denmark. He married Mary in 1884 probably in Illinois where Lena was born. In 1900 they were the parents of 7 children, all living: Lena, Alexander, Hannah, William, Charlie, Minnie, and Mary.

General Notes: Grandson DeWayne B. Johnson wrote about his grandfather Johnson thus on 8/17/1986:

"I have a darker image of my father's father [than his memory of his Talbot grandparents], both dark and dim. He died when I was 9 [in 1929] but I truly can't say I remember him remotely well. Grandmother Johnson was a sterner figure, in my memory, than Grandmother Talbot. I feel now that what I did as a boy often seemed to displease her. I know I was supposed to care for her but I am not at all sure that I did.

"As with Grandparents Talbot, we also visited those grandparents but I cannot conjure up a good image of their home except for a romanticized notion of Tiffany-type lamps; etched-glass front, side and back doors; screened porch for summertime sleeping and that's about it."

Research Notes: Eldest son of Laurtiz and Caroline Johnson.

The Iowa marriage record for Minnie Johnson and Daniel Urquhart at FamilySearch.org gives Minnie's father as George Johnson (mother Mary Johnson). Although J. J. Johnson's obituary gives his name as J. J. Johnson, and family records have John Jacob Johnson, other sources indicate that he was also known as George J. Johnson. His obituary has John J. Johnson. He appeared as John J. Johnson in the 1910 Census.

Mark Johnson's research has found his name as Jorgen Jacob Jorgensen (Possiblly after Lauritz's and Caroline's fathers). Birth records list J.J.'s father as Lauritz Jorgensen, born Denmark. Mother listed as Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen, born Denmark.

Obituary of John J. Johnson

John Jacob Johnson was the eldest son of Lauritz and Caroline Johnson and was born in Bau, Denmark on August 15, 1854, and passed away at the Mercy hospital in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Sept. 29, 1929, at the age of 75 years, 1 month and 15 days.

He was ill at his home in Paton for six weeks when his condition became such that it was necessary to take him to the hospital for special treatment, but little could be done to relieve him.

The funeral services were held at Humboldt last Thursday afternoon. Many from West Bend and Rodman were in attendance.

He was confirmed in the Danish Luthern faith at 16 years of age. In 1881 he came to America with his parents, who settled near Gilmore City, Ill. The following year he became a citizen of the United States.

At the age of thirty years he was married to Mary Johnson on Dec. 22, 1883. To this union ten children were born, all living with the exception of two who passed away in infancy.

He farmed for a number of years in Nebraska and in 1897 came to Iowa where he farmed at West Bend and Rodman. In 1912 he retired and moved to Rodman, later moving to California. Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Johnson came to Paton, Iowa, where they have since made their home with their daughter, Mrs. O. E. Pearson. He was devoted to his family always thinking of their welfare. He was temperate in his habits and a good example to his family and to those about him. There remains to mour his loss his loving wife and eight devoted children; also six brothers and four sisters and thirteen grandchildren. The children are: John C. Johnson, Chas. J. Johnson, Mrs. Hannah Shriner, all of Long Beach, Cal.; Alex L. Johnson, Newman Grove, Nebr.; Caroline K. Klinge, Curlew, Iowa; Mrs. Minnie Urquhart, Rodman; Wm. J. Johnson, Plover; and Mrs. Mary Pearson, Paton, Iowa.

And now the time has come when hosts of friends far and near have been called upon to part with an esteemed friend and a loving husband and father.

Although the parting has come he has left us with an assurance that he has faith in us in whom he has believed and trusted that we will carry on to successful completion the work he has been forced to leave unfinished. The thought of him watching us from the ramparts of heaven should be an inspiration to us as friends and relatives to carry on reverently and sincerely and to make the outstanding characteristics of his life, which were faith in all things good, honesty and punctuality in all his walks of life and then his benediction will be: "All things whatsoever you would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them."

General Notes: Note from DeWayne B. Johnson on family tree from around 1998:
"(DBJ's sister, Dorothy Peters, was under the impression that Margaret was a cousin of Samuel Clemens' [Mark Twain's mother or one of his sisters.]

---------
Grandson DeWayne B. Johnson wrote about Grandmother Talbot (Margaret Burrows Talbot) thus on 8/17/1986:

"My vague recollection, substantiated by I know not what, is that on one occasion when my family was visiting the ranch [in North Platte, Nebraska] Grandmother Talbot and I got mired in quick sand and she held me aloft as we sank into the gooey substance. needless to say, we were rescued, or I wouldn't be able to write this way to you today.

"Folklore has it also that she was gifted by remarkable superhuman strength on an occasion when a wagon collapsed on one of her sons and she lifted the entire load by the wagon axle until he could be pulled free. An impossible task under ordinary circumstances.

"I remember the smells of her farm kitchen and helping with the churning of butter. We trimmed the wicks of the kerosene lanterns. A small kitchen garden seemed always to be producing some good things to eat. I don't remember her passing."

Based on that 1880 information, she is probably the 12-year-old Margaret Burrows who is in the 1870 census in Duncan, Mercer, Illinois with her parents and siblings. If that is the case, her parents were John and Martha Burrows, both born in Ireland.

Noted events in her life were:

• Census: 7 Jun 1870, Duncan, Mercer, Illinois, United States.

Research Notes: From The Record, March, 1897, Vol. 2, No. 9, p. 1:

"Hon. John D. Wallace, representative from Pembina county was among half a dozen of the best members of the house judged from every possible standpoint. He was true, active, earnest, voting with the best element of his party, voting for the best interests of the state, as he saw those interests, under all circumstances. He was in no combinations to defeat good legislation, in none to promote bad, but was honest, earnest, practical and effective in support of everything that was good and in opposition to everything that was bad. Mr. Wallace was born in Ponsonby, Wellington county, Onatio, Feb. 24, 1845, of Anglo-Scotch parentage, and was educated in the Canadian common schools. He came to the United States in 1880, and located at Drayton, Pembina county, in 1881, where he has since been engaged in farming and stock growing. He has a farm of 800 acres, mostly devoted to wheat and feeds live stock on a small scale. He was elected county commissioner in 1884 and held two successive terms, and was a member of the state board of equalization in 1895. He was elected to the legislature in 1896. His committee assignments appear elsewhere."

From History of Long Island: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, 1903, vol. III, p. 114 :
"George Wallace is descended from a Scotch family which has contributed members to every honorable and useful walk of life. His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a prominent business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a prominent operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H. Young, editor of the 'Methodist Herald,' of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Matilda H. is the wife of the Rev. James Healy, a Methodist Episcopal clergyman filling a pastorate in Southern California; and Mary A. is wife of S. Frank Johnson, a banker at Pasadena, California."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.

At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.

The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

Noted events in her life were:

30.

Birth Notes: FamilySearch has his birthdate as 21 July 1848. However, the 1871 census gives his age as 27. It seems likely that he was born in 1843 instead (a misreading of the gravestone?).

The entry for Curtis in the Curtis Poapst family Bible is not entirely clear. It could be 1843 or 1848. I'm interpreting it as 1843. The "3" looks the same as in Edith Pearl Poapst's birth date in the same hand.

Lorna Wallace family tree has b. July, 1848 in Lunenburg, Ontario, Canada, but I think she erred. Other sources (e.g., Rosemary Benson) have 1843. Rosemary Benson did a great deal of research and may be right.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Notices.htm, etc. has tombstone inscription from Poapst homestead, [Osnabruck Twp., Stormont Co.,] Ontario.

See also http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3047155&id=I582489045, seems authoritative. Has b. 21 Jul 1843. Another RootsWeb source has 1848.

My guess is that the headstone is no longer legible.

Death Notes: Source http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~poaps/Notices.htm has d. 28 February 1885.

Burial Notes: Gravestone reads:
Mary Poapst - d. Jan. 17, 1849 - AE 22 yrs. - daughter of John F. & Margaret Poapst
Curtis Poapst - b. July 21, 1843 - d. Feb. 28, 1885
John F. Poapst - died Oct 2, 1887 - AE 72 yrs
his wife
Margaret - died April 18, 1853 - AE 59 yrs

The stone was originally in the back of the Poapst family homestead, where the bodies remain. The stone was brought to Willis United Cemetery at some time before April 2002.

Research Notes: Source: Family records of Lorna (Wallace) Johnson.

The surname is usually spelled "Poapst" in subsequent family records. However, there are postcards addressed to Helen (Mrs. Curtis) and Edith (daughter) with other spellings such as:

It is likely that those persons are this same family. That family was from Schleswig-Holstein, which makes sense, as there is some confusion about Denmark vs. Germany, and the town of Bov (Bau) in which John J. Johnson was born is in Schleswig, which changed hands over the years. The 1910 U.S. census shows J. J. Johnson immigrating in 1881.

U.S. Census records indicate that Lauritz and Caroline had 12 children.
--
Parents of a Lauritz Jorgensen baptized on 26 Jun 1831 in Svenstrup were Jorgen Christensen and Helene Nissen.

Denmark Burials, 1640-1917 (FamilySearch.org) yields another, yet less likely, possibility:
Lauritz Johann Johannsen
b.
d. 7 Jan 1870 in Ketting, Sonderborg, Denmark
Buried 13 Jan 1870
Father Gustav Johann Johannsen
Mother Anne Larsdatter/Larsdotter

Noted events in his life were:

• Emigrated: from Denmark to the United States, 1881, <Illinois>, United States.

Lauritz married Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen ⁷ on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, Sønderjylland, Denmark.²⁷⁴ Anna was born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark>, was christened on 9 Aug 1835 in Bov (Bau), Schlesvig, Denmark,²⁷⁵ and died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States. Other names for Anna were Caroline <Casper>, Caroline Casperson, Caroline Caspison, Caroline Cosparsen, Caroline Kasperson, and Caroline Kepperson.

Marriage Notes: Mark Johnson has found evidence that Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen, born July 1835, christened 9 Aug 1835 in Bov, Flensborg, Schlesvig, Denmark, married Lauritz Jorgensen, b. 1831, on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Schlesvig, Denmark. We are making the assumption that this is the same couple.

Children from this marriage were:

24        i.  John Jacob Johnson (born on 15 Aug 1854 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark - died on 29 Sep 1929 in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa, United States).

Bodil was born on 5 Mar 1854 in Asaae Bye, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark, was christened on 28 Mar 1854 in Dronninglund Kirke, Dronninglund, (Hjørring), Nordjylland, Denmark,^{109 110} died on 11 Aug 1937 in <Paton, Greene, Iowa>, United States at age 83, and was buried in Union Cemetery, Humboldt, Humboldt, Iowa, United States.¹¹¹ Other names for Bodil were Marie Jensen, Marie B. Jensen, Mary B. Jensen, and Mary Jensen Johnson.

         ii.  Caroline W. Johnson was born <1857> and died on 28 Jul 1940 in Illinois, United States at age 83. Caroline married John Hansen.²⁶⁹

Another name for John was Johon Johnson. John married Christine Morrison ²⁶⁹ on 20 Jan 1888 in Paxton, Ford, Illinois, United States.

          v.  Anna Maria Helena Jorgensen

         vi.  Cherst Johnson was born in 1867 in Denmark. Cherst married Anna Mason ²⁶⁹ on 22 Dec 1892 in Wilbur, Nebraska, United States. Anna was born <1873>.

        vii.  Andrew C. Johnson was born <1870> in Denmark. Andrew married Feine Krohn ²⁶⁹ on 28 Jan 1912 in Iowa, United States.

Johnson was born on 21 Apr 1871 in <Taglesbraw>, Denmark, died on 31 Aug 1938 in Gibson City, Ford, Illinois, United States at age 67, and was buried in Gibson City, Ford, Illinois, United States. Another name for Matilda was Matilda Jensen. Matilda married Chris C. Johnson.²⁷⁰ Chris was born 1865 or 1866, died in 1901 at age 36, and was buried in Gibson City, Ford, Illinois, United States.

         ix.  Lena Margaret Johnson was born on 12 Apr 1874 in Denmark, died on 2 Nov 1934 in <Corvallis>, Benton, Oregon, United States²⁷⁶ at age 60, and was buried on 5 Nov 1934 in Odd Fellows Cemetery, <Corvallis>, Benton, Oregon, United States. Lena married H. C. Hansen in Apr 1892 in Stewart, Nebraska, United States.

          x.  Louis L. Johnson was born on 12 Sep 1875 in Schlesvig, Denmark, was christened <12 Oct 1875>, and died on 14 Oct 1958 in New Jersey, United States at age 83. Louis married Anna Walters,²⁷⁰ daughter of Fred Walters ²⁷⁷ and Dora Winakee,²⁷⁷ on 15 Nov 1899 in Illinois, United States.^{269 277} Another name for Anna was Ann Walters.

49. Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen,⁷ daughter of Johann Jacob Caspersen ^{274 278} and Carolina Wilhelmine Beck,^{274 279} was born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark>, was christened on 9 Aug 1835 in Bov (Bau), Schlesvig, Denmark,²⁷⁵ and died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States. Other names for Anna were Caroline <Casper>, Caroline Casperson, Caroline Caspison, Caroline Cosparsen, Caroline Kasperson, and Caroline Kepperson.

Death Notes: A Caroline Johnson was living with her daughter Lena (Johnson) Hanson in Humboldt, Iowa, in 1910. That is quite likely this Caroline.

Research Notes: Family records of DeWayne B. Johnson have only the name Caroline, with her birthplace as Germany.

Mark Johnson (May 2012) has a good amount of information about the family of Lauritz and Caroline Johnson, who lived in Gibson City, Illinois after immigrating to the United States in 1880. It is likely that those persons are this same family. That family was from Schleswig-Holstein.Census records indicate that they had 12 children.

Noted events in her life were:

• Emigrated: from Denmark to the United States, 1881, <Illinois>, United States. (Witness)

• Census: U.S., 1910, Humboldt, Iowa, United States. ²⁸¹

Anna married Lauritz Jørgensen ¹⁰⁴ on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, Sønderjylland, Denmark.²⁷⁴ Lauritz was born about Jun 1831, was christened on 26 Jun 1831,²⁷² and died bef <1900>. Other names for Lauritz were Lauretz Johnson, Lauritz Johnson, and²⁷³ Louis Johnson.

Death Notes: A translation of the death notice from his widow Ane Cathrine published in the Aalborg Stiftstidende on 24 and 25 February 1876:
Announcement
That my dear, loved husband, my 11 children loved father (the loved father of my 11 children), Dannebrogsmand Jens Christian Jensen, is passed away the 21 Feb. Announced herewith of his deep bereaved widow and children. - The funeral will take place from the home Tuesday the 29 Feb. at 1o'clock.
Hou Skov (Wood), the 22 Feb. 1876
Ane Cathrine Jensen,
Born Hansen

Burial Notes: It is the opinion of Finn H. Thomsen that Jens Christian was buried in the Hals Church cemetery.

Research Notes: From Donald M. Johnson's letter 23 July 1972 to his sister Alice (Johnson) Hickerson:
Dronninglund Church (old castle church) records for 1851 contain: "Married on June 20, 1851, at three o'clock, the bachelor Jens Christian Jensen of Dorf, 29 years, and the girl, Ane Cathrine Hansdatter of Asaa, 21 years. Sponsors: Lars Sorensen and Lars Peter Nielsen of Asaa." Records exist showing that family bought a house (No. 4 f of Hou) at Hou, Hals Parish, Kjaer District, on June 11, 1866. Hou and Hov are the same place.
---
Note: In 2011, the current researcher inadvertently misidentified Jens Christian Jensen as the man of the same name born on 21 Oct 1821 in Bolle, christened on 28 Oct 1821. That Jens Christian's parents were Jens Hansen Smed and Christiane Jensdatter. Please do not make that same mistake.

Subsequently, in 2017, Mr. Thomsen mistakenly identified his parents as Jens Jensen and Mette Nielsdatter, with a birthdate and place for Jens Christian of 23 Dec 1821 in Asaa. A rough translation of notes provided by Finn H. Thomsen on 24 Sep 2017:
"1821 - Born the 23 Dec. in Asaae Bye [Asaa town], Dronninglund parish, baptized the same day 23 Dec., son of lodger Jens Jensen and Mette Nielsdatter. Godparents: Anna Larsdatter from the farm "Knirren" in West Melholt, Johanne Marie Pousdatter, Ørsøe, Hans Rasmussen, Godiks Pedersen from Ørsøe and Mads Jensen from Skrydsholt." Mr. Thomsen obtained this information from the Dunninglund church records for 1813-1829, bulletin 105. This, however, is also a different person.

Mr. Thomsen's further research in 2017 revealed that our family's Jen Christian Jensen, Dannesbrogsmand (see the death announcement by his widow), was born 11 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, as is presented here. The deciding element was the fact that Jens Christian was living in Dorf at the time of his marriage. Only one of the three candidates was in Dorf in 1851. In addition, that same man was honored with the title Dannesbrogsmand after his service in the war against Germany. His widow gave him that title in her published announcement of his death.

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.
At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.
The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

Birth Notes: May have been born about 1794 or earlier. Rosemary Benson has b. 1797. Her gravestone reads "AE 59 yrs."

Poss. b. Cornwall, Ontario or Gananoque (Leeds and Grenville Co.), Ontario.

Death Notes: My interpretation of the date on her gravestone is d. 18 Apr 1858. kjf 10/26/11

Site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Notices.htm has
"Margaret, wife of John F. Poapst d. 18 Apr 1853, age 59 years
Buried at Poapst Homestead. (Taken from a gravestone)" The year 1853 is probably incorrect.

Burial Notes: Gravestone reads:
Mary Poapst - d. Jan. 17, 1849 - AE 22 yrs. - daughter of John F. & Margaret Poapst
Curtis Poapst - b. July 21, 1843 - d. Feb. 28, 1885
John F. Poapst - died Oct 2, 1887 - AE 72 yrs
his wife
Margaret - died April 18, 1858 - AE 59 yrs

The stone was originally in the back of the Poapst family homestead, where the bodies remain. The stone was brought to Willis United Cemetery at some time before April 2002.

General Notes: Note: The family tree created by Lorna Wallace Johnson around 1950 has only the name "Margaret Wood" and ", Canada." Lorna did not know Margaret's parents' names.

Research Notes: Margaret's parents were definitely:
Lt. Col.Roger Wood (Ul.E.L.) (1767-1862) + Margaret Drew (1767-1864)
NOT
John Wood (U.E.L.) (abt 1764-1852) + Abigail Drew (1766-?)

Note: John & Abigail's daughter Margaret married Alexander Ross.

Margaret married John Frederick Poapst ^{7 245 246 247 248} on 14 Jan 1819 in Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Upper Canada (Ontario), Canada.

62. Sterling <Russell> Studley,⁷ son of < > Studley and Alurie < >, was born about 1817 in New York, United States and died after 1850. Other names for Sterling were Sterling R. Steadley, Sterling (Russell?) Studley, and L. B. Studly.

Research Notes: Marriage 27 Oct 1849 recorded as:
Sterling R. Studley
Barbara Lensez

Lorna Wallace's family tree has "Sterling (Russell?) Studley," with the last name spelled "Studley," but his mother/sister (?), Mary Catherine, may have spelled her last name "Steadley." Mary Catherine inscribed the inside front cover of her copy of The Mental Friend, and Rational Companion <1831?> in pencil, now very faint, and it seems to read "Mary Catherine Steadley, Cedar Creek, Polk, Wis." I don't know what Mary Catherine's relationship was.

Handwritten Wallace family tree from around 1935 has his name as simply "Sterling Studley, Wisconsin."

According to The Town of Polk website (http://www.tn.polk.wi.gov/), the town of Polk, Wisconsin had its boundaries established by the U.S. government around 1830. The town's Cedar Creek flows out of Cedar Lake and is a tributary of the Milwaukee River. "By 1846, 14 families lived in Cedar Creek." Russell and Barbara (?) Studley were probably one of those 14 families.

Noted events in his life were:

• Census: U.S., 3 Sep 1850, Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States. ^{450 451}

Sterling married Ann Barbara Lintzen ^{7 195} on 27 Oct 1849 in Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States.⁴⁵² Ann was born about 1830 in <Baden-Baden>, Germany and died after 1903. Other names for Ann were Barbara Lensen, Barbara Lensez, Barbara Lenzen, Ann B. Lincing, Barbara Lincing, and Barbara Linsin.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Josephine Studley was born about 1846 in Wisconsin, United States.

31       ii.  Helen Lind Studley (born on 26 Nov 1850 in Cedar Creek, Washington, Wisconsin, United States - died on 11 Jul 1921 in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California, United States). Helen married Curtis Poapst,^{7 20 97} son of John Frederick Poapst ^{7 245 246 247 248} and Margaret Wood,^{7 249 250 251} on 12 Nov 1868 in Viola, Wabasha, Minnesota, United States. Curtis was born on 21 Jul 1843 in Lunenburg, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Canada West (Ontario), Canada, died on 28 Feb 1885 in Osnabruck Centre, Osnabruck Twp (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada at age 41, and was buried in Poapst Homestead (Willis United Cemetery), Lunenburg, Osnabruck (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.²⁵² Other names for Curtis were Paupst Curtis and Popps Curtis.

        iii.  Alice Studley was born about 1851 in <Wisconsin, United States> and died after 1935. Another name for Alice was Alice Poapst(?). Alice married Henry Neal. Henry was born about 1858 and died before 1935.

63. Ann Barbara Lintzen,^{7 195} daughter of < > Lintzen ¹⁶⁶ and Barbara < >,¹⁶⁶ was born about 1830 in <Baden-Baden>, Germany and died after 1903. Other names for Ann were Barbara Lensen, Barbara Lensez, Barbara Lenzen, Ann B. Lincing, Barbara Lincing, and Barbara Linsin.

General Notes: Handwritten Wallace family tree from around 1935 gives her name as "Barbara Linsin."

Research Notes: Ambiguous information from handwritten note by Lorna Wallace to Danielle Fowler:
"My great grandmother on my mother's side... came to Canada from Baden-Baden, Germany*." [Footnote: "Ask [Lorna's brother] Stan if I'm right about this."]. Lorna's family tree has "Barbara Linsin" as Sterling Studley's wife (i.e., Lorna's great grandmother).

According to the marriage record, her name was "Barbara Lensez." This may be a transcription error. "Lenzen" or"Lensen" would more closely match the oral history.

In 1850, the S. R. Studley household consisted of S.R., age 33, Ann B., age 20 (his wife), born in Germany, Josephine, age 4, born Wisconsin, and Barbara Lincing, age 50, born in Germany (probably Ann B.'s mother).

Noted events in her life were:

• Census: 3 Sep 1850, Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States.

Ann married Sterling <Russell> Studley ⁷ on 27 Oct 1849 in Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States.⁴⁵² Sterling was born about 1817 in New York, United States and died after 1850. Other names for Sterling were Sterling R. Steadley, Sterling (Russell?) Studley, and L. B. Studly.

48        v.  Lauritz Jørgensen (born about Jun 1831 - died bef <1900>). Lauritz married Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen,⁷ daughter of Johann Jacob Caspersen ^{274 278} and Carolina Wilhelmine Beck,^{274 279} on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, Sønderjylland, Denmark.²⁷⁴ Anna was born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark>, was christened on 9 Aug 1835 in Bov (Bau), Schlesvig, Denmark,²⁷⁵ and died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States. Other names for Anna were Caroline <Casper>, Caroline Casperson, Caroline Caspison, Caroline Cosparsen, Caroline Kasperson, and Caroline Kepperson.

         vi.  Maria Jorgensen was christened on 28 Mar 1834 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.

        vii.  Maren Jorgensen was christened on 12 Nov 1837 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark. Another name for Maren was Maren Sorensen. Maren married Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Caspersen,⁴⁵⁴ son of Johann Jacob Caspersen ^{274 278} and Carolina Wilhelmine Beck,^{274 279} on 6 May 1860 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.⁴⁵⁴ Vilhelm was born <1833>. Another name for Vilhelm was Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Casspersen.

97. Helene Nissen,^{270 271} daughter of Nis < > and < > < >, was born <1803>. Another name for Helene was Ellen Cathrine Nissen.

Helene married Jørgen Christensen ²⁶⁹ on 27 Jun 1830 in Marstal, Svendborg, Denmark.²⁷¹ Jørgen was born <1800>. Other names for Jørgen were Jorgen Sorensen and Jorgen Christensen Sorensen.

98. Johann Jacob Caspersen,^{274 278} son of Peter Caspersen ^{455 456} and Hedewig Petersen,^{455 456} was born in 1798 and died <3 May 1869> in <Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark>⁴⁵⁵ at age 71. Another name for Johann was Jorgen Jacob Caspersen.

Death Notes: Death date in doubt. There is a death record for Johann Jacob Caspersen at age 71 on 3 May 1869 in Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark, but his wife's name is given as Caroline Hedewig Beck. Other records have "our" Johann Jacob's wife as Caroline Wilhelmine Beck.

Research Notes: The transcribed death record gives his parents as Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. The only thing that throws this in doubt is Johann's wife's name, which is recorded as Caroline Hedewig Beck. Knowing how naming went in those days, however, it is possible that Caroline/Carolina had both Wilhelmine and Hedewig as middle names.

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: goldmith(?).

Johann married Carolina Wilhelmine Beck ^{274 279} <18 Oct 1829> in <Bov (Bau), Åbenrå, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark>.²⁷⁹

Marriage Notes: A marriage record for 18 Oct 1829 in Bov gives the bride's name simply as Caroline Beck. It also lists the grooms parents as Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. Those are the same parents who appear in the death record for a Johann Jacob Casperson on 3 May 1869. The death record give's Johann's wife's name as Caroline Hedewig Beck. That was certainly the wife from 18 Oct 1829 in Bov. Caroline/Carolina's middle name(s) then are in doubt. Did she have both Wilhelmine and Hedewig? Or was this Johann's wife an entirely different person?

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Marie Hedewig Caspersen was christened on 30 Dec 1829 in Tonder, Tonder, Denmark.⁴⁵⁷ Marie married Christen Andresen,⁴⁵⁸ son of Peter Andresen ⁴⁵⁹ and Malene Matthiesen,⁴⁵⁸ on 29 Nov 1855 in Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark.

         ii.  Andreas Anton Caspersen was born <1831>. Andreas married Anna Kiestina Andresen,⁴⁶⁰ daughter of Nis Andersen ⁴⁶⁰ and Anna Jessen,⁴⁶⁰ on 17 Apr 1854 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark.⁴⁶¹ Anna was born <1822>.

        iii.  Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Caspersen was born <1833>. Another name for Vilhelm was Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Casspersen. Vilhelm married Maren Jorgensen,⁴⁶² daughter of Jørgen Christensen ²⁶⁹ and Helene Nissen,^{270 271} on 6 May 1860 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.⁴⁵⁴ Maren was christened on 12 Nov 1837 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark. Another name for Maren was Maren Sorensen.

49       iv.  Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen (born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark> - died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States). Anna married Lauritz Jørgensen,¹⁰⁴ son of Jørgen Christensen ²⁶⁹ and Helene Nissen,^{270 271} on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, Sønderjylland, Denmark.²⁷⁴ Lauritz was born about Jun 1831, was christened on 26 Jun 1831,²⁷² and died bef <1900>. Other names for Lauritz were Lauretz Johnson, Lauritz Johnson, and²⁷³ Louis Johnson.

          v.  Hans Ferdinand Caspersen was christened on 8 Apr 1838 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark.

         vi.  Amalia Wilhelmine Caspersen was christened on 11 Apr 1841 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark.

99. Carolina Wilhelmine Beck,^{274 279} daughter of Andreas Beck ²⁷⁹ and Gerthro Johannsen,.⁴⁵⁶

Research Notes: There is a death record for a Johann Jacob Caspersen on 3 May 1869 in Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark, but his wife's name is given as Caroline Hedewig Beck. He may have been a different person from Carolina's husband. However, if the name Hedewig can be verified, Johann's parents were Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. Caroline's name could have had both Wilhelmine and Hedewig in the middle. Were there two separate women?

If these Caroline/Carolina persons are verified as one and the same, then the marriage on 18 Oct 1829 in Bov and her parents Andreas Beck and Gerthro Johannsen are also verified.

Carolina married Johann Jacob Caspersen ^{274 278} <18 Oct 1829> in <Bov (Bau), Åbenrå, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark>.²⁷⁹ Johann was born in 1798 and died <3 May 1869> in <Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark>⁴⁵⁵ at age 71. Another name for Johann was Jorgen Jacob Caspersen.

Jens married Ane Cathrine Hansdatter,^{7 136} daughter of Hans Pedersen ⁷ and Mette Kirstine Christensdatter,⁷ on 20 Jun 1851 in Dronninglund Kirke, Dronninglund, (Hjørring), Nordjylland, Denmark.²⁹¹ Ane was born on 7 Jul 1831 in Høllet, Hals Sogn, Læso, Nordjylland, Denmark.²⁹² Another name for Ane was Ane Cathrine Hansen.

          i.  Karen Marie Christiansdatter was born about 1834.

102. Hans Pedersen ⁷ was born in 1760 in <Laeso>, Denmark. Other names for Hans were Hans Pedersen Hollet and Hans Pedersen.

General Notes: From a letter by Donald Johnson (son of Marine Johnson) to Ardis Johnson Bynum on 5 June 1979:

"My great grandfather, Hans Pedersen Hollet, apparently was, for those times, a well-to-do man on the island of Laeso. He was 32 years older than my great grandmother Mette Kirstine Christensdatter, who was born about 1792. So my guess is that when Mette Kirstine died, her daughter's (Ane Cathrine) share of the estate was enough to enable her to buy the holdings at Hov. In 1866 Mette K. would have been 74 years old, and it may have taken a year or more to settle the estate, as there were five children born of this marriage. This is just a guess, but it does make sense that grandpa Jens Christian Jensen didn't get rich farming and fishing; or, at least, as readily as the Hollets could with their milling and timbering business."

Research Notes: Hans Pedersen and Mette Cathrine Christensdatter are recorded as parents of Ane Cathrine Hansdatter in the Dronninglund Church record for Ane Cathrine's marriage to Jens Christen on 20 Jun 1851.

Noted events in his life were:

51       ii.  Ane Cathrine Hansdatter (born on 7 Jul 1831 in Høllet, Hals Sogn, Læso, Nordjylland, Denmark). Ane married Jens Christian Jensen,^{7 28 134 135} son of Jens Jensen Fjeldrad and Johanne Marie Christensdatter,²⁸² on 20 Jun 1851 in Dronninglund Kirke, Dronninglund, (Hjørring), Nordjylland, Denmark.²⁹¹ Jens was born on 11 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark,²⁸³ was christened on 12 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark,²⁸⁴ died on 21 Feb 1876 in <Hov>, Hals Sogn, (Aalborg), Nordjylland, Denmark²⁸⁵ at age 53, and was buried on 29 Feb 1876 in <Hals Kirkegaard, Hals>, (Aalborg), Nordjylland, Denmark.

Hauntings at Woodlawn Cemetery (from http://www.forgottenoh.com/Counties/Lawrence/woodland.html ) :

"Woodland Cemetery in Ironton is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman whose abusive husband killed her by throwing her down a flight of stairs. A life-sized statue of her stands above her grave, and a handprint appears on its cheek even after the cheek has been sandblasted. The statue is supposed to be warm all the time, even in the coldest months.

"Woodlawn is also said to be home to the ghost of a Russian ballerina, who is entombed in one of the family mausoleums. Her likeness is carved into the mausoleum. On nights with full moons, it is said, you can see her dancing outside her final resting place.

"Dr. Joseph W. Lowry also haunts Woodland, seeking vengeance for his murder and mutilation. Dr. Lowry is often seen with his mother, who died from a broken neck when she was thrown from her carriage by a spooked horse. They walk together toward the cemetery gates but never make it past the highway bridge. "

Research Notes: Eliza Smith McMunn's lineage is dependent upon data obtained from Rod Blackman via www.familysearch.org 8/26/06. Appears to be well researched.

From Jeanine Wallace (email 12 Jan 2010): "George and Barbara have their own headstone. Originally George was buried downtown Guelph, he was the second person to be buried in that cemetary. The cemetary has since been moved to the Woodlawn cemetary were most of the family is buried now. When George passed away he and the family were living in the Scotch Block just outside of Guelph, now a little intersection called Marden. Grandpa says that he heard that Barbara and her sons were quite a burden on the neighbours after George died because they certainly didn't have much."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):
"Another early settler was Mrs. George Wallace who with her husband and four sons, John, Alexander, Donald and Hugh, in the year 1825, left Scotland on the sailing vessel "Planet" for South America where they landed at Carracus, Venezuela. Eighteen months later they arrived in Guelph known as the LaGuayra settlers. George Wallace died August 18, 1828 and was the second body buried in the old cemetery behind Chalmers Church which is now a city parking lot. Mrs. Wallace and her four sons then settled in Pilkington where the sixth generation is still residing."

General Notes: Donald Wallace (1816-1902) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 9 Jan 1775:

"His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father. He [George] was born January 9th, 1775. He married Barbara Munro, 6th March, 1806. He was a factor for Culrain, a wealthy man, then he went as overseer for a gentleman. On the 7th Oct 1825, he and wife and 4 sons left Scotland for South America. There he tried farming, but he did not like it. He left his [son] John there. He and family went to Canada West. He arrived at Guelph 26 September 1827. He settled on a farm there. On the 19th of next August he died. His wife [Barbara] was born in Ross[-s]hire 18 Aug 1737 [sic]. She died at Woolwich, Feb. 4, 1844 He had four sons--John, Donald, Hugh, Alexander. John was born at Ross[-s]hire, 13th of April 1813. He died in South America 11th of March, 1848. Donald was born 14th of February 1845. Hugh was born in Sutherland, 8th July, 1819. Died. Alexander was born in Sutherland on the 3rd of February, 1822. Barbara Wallace and her three sons removed from near Guelph to Woolwich 20th April, 1833. On a genealogical tree of the family of Wallaces in Ross[-s]hire, by a cousin of mine, I saw 88. Some more might be added since. One of them, Lachlin, had 10 children. One of them was John, my grandfather."
---------
Narrative by Don Wallace (Donald C. Wallace, III) on 1 July 2010, in email to Karen (Johnson) Fish:

Wallace origins in Scotland with immigration story to Canada via Colombia ca. 1815-20. It's a doozy: the entire clan worked under the Earl of Cromartie up on the Northeast coast for about 200+ years. The head Wallace was The Grange, or clan leader, and in the custom of the time that meant full employment and housing for the rest of the family.

All was going well when [George] Wallace married Barbara Munro, whose brother was a notorious cattle rustler, aka The Black Drover. Barbara got her husband to temporarily borrow the entire year's budget for the estate, about 300 pounds sterling, to finance buying (rustling, probably) cattle on the English border for sale elsewhere in Northern England. Instead, the Black Drover kept the money and said he'd been ripped off. This made [George] W an embezzler, and he and the family were forced to leave the estate.

He took them to the far north to start a Gaelic school--a revolutionary act at the time of the Enclosures, which were forcing crofters off the Highlands down into the textile mills of England or overseas as immigrants. The school failed. He petitioned the church to resettle the family, about 17 people, and they took what was offered: a missionary settlement in the highlands of Colombia, which was a vast ungoverned breakaway country, including Venezuela and Panama. The idea of introducing Protestantism in an overwhelming Catholic country didn't go over well. After a neighbor led a stray cow up to their front porch and plunged a knife into its heart, [George] petitioned the church again for resettlement. They were sent to Canada, landed in Guelph, Ontario, around 1822. And [George], totally burnt out by then, up and died [in 1828].

I gathered all of this from a box of letters handed down, the oldest dating from the 1640s. I found the box while spending the night in grandfather Don Wallace's house the night after his death. I spent a few hours reading everything and made my father open a safe deposit box to safeguard it. And then--it's so sad as to be unbelievable--at some point the deposit was closed and the box just thrown out. It just about broke my heart then, and does now, telling you. (And that's why I'm telling you. Those of us who care are few and far between.)

The family [of John D. Wallace] followed the Red River south into the Dakota territories, founding Drayton, and maybe another town or two. We still have the homestead from the 1870s--on the "bad" side of the Red River--though there is only one person left alive who has seen it, we lease it to a hay farmer. The reason all of the Wallaces headed West (or East, one brother helping to incorporate Suffolk County in New York State) was the land was in such poor condition. If we'd picked land on the other side of the river, where the sediment was, we'd probably still be there...

One final thought for today: all of the family left Colombia except for the eldest son, Alexander [John?], aged 16, who stayed, and later ended up in Costa Rica, where it is said he married a princess. I thought this story was a fable until my mother and father began reminiscing about visits from a very snotty Costa Rican lady when they were young, who insisted she was a royal. This would probably have been a Bourbon dynasty line of descent, if it wasn't a case of putting on airs.

Research Notes: Lorna Wallace family tree has "George (John?) Wallace." Was John his middle name? His brother? Father? Also has b. 8 Jan 1775. Transcription of Donald Wallace letter of 4 June 1896 to Ed Wallace has 9 Jan 1775, but his gravestone and the family Bible say 8 January 1775 in Culrain.

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tincanman&id=I110374
Has b. 1775 in Cromarty, Scotland.

Cromarty is very near to Rosskeen.

See also George's brother John, whose second marriage was to Catherine Munro. Barbara's sister? Is this John the reason for confusion about his name?

I am related to George Wallace and Barbara Munro through their son Donald.

here is the information that i have:
George Wallace, his Wife and their four sons left the port in Cromarty, Scotland and sailed on the vessel "Planet" in 7 Oct 1825 for South America. they went on the promise of land and other concessions that were never realized. In Carracas (LaGuayra), Venezuela and 18 mo. (1827)later arrived in Guelph Tp. CAN and were alloted land on the Elora Road (Scotch Block)and became known as the LaGuayra settlers. George dies Aug. 18 1828 and was the second body to be buried in the old cemetary behind Chalmers church.

From what i can find i believe that George, Barbara and three of their sone (George, Alexander and Hugh) went to Canada. I have mixed reports but have come to believe that their son John stayed in Carracas where he died some years later.

Hugh Wallace (b. 1819 Scotland-5 Sept 1881 Wellington co. ON) married Margaret Metcalf. they had 9 children.

I have your relative Alexander Wallace (b. 28 Feb 1822 Scotland - 29 Sept 1892 ON) marrying Mary Ann Elizabeth Cunningham. they had 11 children.

My G-G Grandfather Donald Wallace (b.14 Feb 1816 Scotland- d.1902 Pasadena, CA) married Harriet Lasby in 1838. they had 9 children.

According to Jeannine Wallace 10/18/10, "George, husband to Barbara came to Canada with a wooden chest, I think I've mentioned this before. That chest has George's name on it with the middle initial 'A'."

General Notes: Letter from Catherine Ross (by then married to Young) about the death of her brother John

To: John Wallace
Sun Office 112 Strand London
Jan 29 1827
My dear Uncle,
I fully intended to have written to you two months ago, in the first place I was waiting to hear more satisfactory accounts from Colombia and since I received the melancholy intelligence of my poor brother's death I felt little disposed for writing.
Mr Young has sent you a paper with an account of him in it written by Mr Young which he has copied into all the newspapers here.

I saw a gentleman yesterday that has just arrived from Lagunyea who gives a most dismal account of the people's distress, but I suppose you have heard from George all the particulars. Their chief wish is to come home, or to be sent to North America, but the Association will do nothing for them. It has proved a most unfortunate course and has brought impossible misfortune on our poor family. Mrs Ross and her family are left quite destitute. She has three children, two boys and a girl. The mother and the youngest have gone to live with her father in Edinburgh and we have taken the other two. It would be rather hard that his poor children would be left friendless after what he had done for his father's family. With all his failings he had a most affectionate warm heart.

All the accounts we have had of his illness and death are in the Sun. It is strange that we should have been so long without hearing of is the heard from the consol at Philadelphia who sent an inventory of all John's things. We have written to him to get all the particulars he can relate to his illness and of course you have heard that he paid Walter a visit in Demerara. He was just after parting with him a fortnight when he died. He was very unlucky in all his undertakings but in my opinion the Association have behaved most infamously.

I had a letter from Walter am Saturday dated 1st November the poor fellow did not then hear of his loss. He will feel it the more on account of so recently having seen him. Indeed I dread the consequence upon his health. He says he expects to hear from you shortly. I saw a gentleman who came from Charles last summer. He was in the enjoyment of very excellent health but has so of riches. But we must hope for the best. I must now conclude for I do not feel disposed to enter into long particulars of my own affairs at present.

The Sun is doing wonders I believe I wrote to you time the birth of my youngest daughter who was born 9th of last October and is a fine little girl called Catherine after her mother.
Give my compliments to all my relations and friends. Mr Young writes with me in fondest regards to you and Mrs Wallace and I remain, my dear uncle, your affectionate niece
Catharine Young

I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as possible as I am going to write to Charles and he will feel interest in all the Roshkeen news. Write fully and if George says anything of John let me know. C.Y.

I shall expect your answer in a fortnight.

In the 1851 census, there were many Munros in Rosskeen and several place names containing "Ardross." One was a castle, a couple were farms. A lot of individuals were born in Creich.

Excerpts from....The Lasby Story
by Bill Lasby, Toronto, Canada.. June 18, 1969
(original is 9 typed pages)

at http://www.angelfire.com/in3/vanbrink/lasby.html:

In 1824, Charles Lasby and his wife, Margaret Challenor, and their family arrived in Pilkington from Stafforshire. Their arrival is recorded in John Connon's book as follows:

Charles Lasby and Margaret Challenor, his wife, were from Staffordshire, England. The date of their arrival is uncertain but it was not later than 1828. The farm on which they settled was on the south side of Cox's Creek at Ponsonby, and is now called "Fife" farm. The reason for selecting this was that the timber was thin along the banks of the stream while the beaver meadow there was heavy growth of wild grass with which to feed their oxen. Their house was on the side side leading to Bethany Church and the aged parents were buried on the Edgerton Fife farm.

They had a famliy of twelve of whom Joseph Lasby was one. He lived on that corner farm northeast of the Bethany Church. In 1837 he married Matilda Crowther and it is from this family that all in this locality by the name of Lasby are descended. Of their family of one girl and eight boys, the only ones now living are Mrs. John Seaton, of Altona, Michigan and Mr. Walter Lasby of Northfield, Minnesota. Joseph Lasby died in January, 1878 and Mrs. Lasby died in June of 1854. [the above book excerpt was published in 1930]

Bill Lasby continues...

In my search for details on the family I have developed information, some of which supplements Mr. Connon's information and some that differs from his.

I have established that the family arrived in 1824 and that Charles Lasby died in 1870. He is not buried on the Fife farm as recorded but his headstone is in the old Ponsonby cemetary. In my search I have located information on only five children of Charles Lasby and Margaret Challenor, and I have some questions as to whether or not there were twelve children as recorded by Connon.

My sister, Emily, who also has a keen interest in the family, spoke to the late Thomas Bye many years ago concerning the elder members of the Lasby family. He recalled Charles Lasby as an elderly man. At that time, Mr. Bye was a young boy and had been sent by his mother for a bucket of coals to light their fire. He recalls Mr. Lasby, who was working in the garden, as a very kindly short man with a sandy beard.

From http://www.waynecook.com/rose.html - the Ponsonby Pioneer Cemetery Rose Garden webpage:

following email was sent in by Jim Bellamy:
Some of the individuals listed are ancestors of mine. The family info I have collected suggests that several changes would make the info a little more accurate.
4. Joseph Labby D. Jan. 25th, 1878, 67 yrs.
5. Matilda wife of the above D. June 3rd., 1854, 36 yrs. old.
8. Also his daughter Mary wife of Daniel Peckover, D. Feb. 17th, 1855, 32 yrs. old.
10. Mary wife of Joseph Labby D. Dec. 31st, 1876, 28 yrs., 8 mos., 25 days.
14. Charles Labby D. June 10th, 1870, 89 yrs. old a native of Staffordshire.
The info I have and suggestions are as follows:
Charles Lasby (listed as 14. Charles Labby) was born circa 1781 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. He married Margaret CHALLENNOR on 29 Jan 1807 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. Margaret was born on 19 Sept 1784 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. They emigrated to Canada circa 1828. Margaret died in 1856 in Ponsonby, Wellington, Canada West. (She should be listed in that cemetary.) Charles Lasby died 10 June 1870 in Elora, Ontario.
Joseph Lasby (listed as 4. Joseph Labby) was one of the sons of Charles Lasby and Margaret. Joseph Lasby was born 9 Dec 1810 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. He married (date ?) Matilda Crowther (listed as 5. Matilda), born 12 June 1818 in London, Upper Canada. Matilda (Crowther) Lasby died 3 June 1854. Joseph Lasby died on 25 Jan 1878.
The name "Peckover" perhaps should be "Peskover". Not entirely sure but another ancestor Oliver Lasby married a Lydia Peskover in 1872 inElora, Ontario.

First husband of Mary Flewelling.

From Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of York, Ontario, p. 37:
"John, of Nelson, married Mary Flewelling and had issue: Maurice, William, Jacob, Gilbert, Elizabeth and Catherine;"
---------
According to David Schachow in Genforum posting 4 Aug 2002 (Bastedo Family Genealogy Forum), John's middle name was Albert. Another researcher, Thomas A. Murray, has the middle initial C. A transcribed Census record has a John Bastedo with middle initial T, born about 1810, and probably a different person.
---------

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: 1815, Nelson Twp, Halton, Upper Canada (Ontario), Canada.

• Census: 1871, Ontario, Canada.

• Census: Canada, 1881, Ontario, Canada.

Birth Notes: The birth and death dates I have provided are based upon the obituary of Mrs. Mary Taylor (aka Great-Grandma Taylor to Will Wallace), which would make her dates 24 Jan 1793 to 26 Feb 1883.

Research Notes: The Wallace family tree constructed by Lorna (Wallace) Johnson in the 1940's has "Mary (Taylor)" as the mother of Harriet Lasby. That was probably an error.
----------
From Karen (Johnson) Fish 17 June 2010:

I am in possession of an obituary, torn from an 1883 newpaper, for Mrs. Mary Taylor, who I believe is this same person. The clipping was tucked inside a folded note written by William H. Wallace in 1880 (when he was 10 years old) or soon thereafter. The year "1883" is written in ink on the obituary.

William H. Wallace's note reads:
My Great-Grandma Taylor's son, had this knife thirty years, and, when he died, he gave it to her, and she had it twenty years, and then she gave it to me in the year 1880, and I am going to see how long I can keep it. W.H.W.

Who was the son who originally acquired the knife, around 1830?

Her obituary reads:
"Died.
On Monday afternoon, Feb. 26th [1883] at the residence of Mr. Thomas Crebbin. Mrs. Mary Taylor, aged ninety years, one month and two days. Funeral to take place from the house on Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m."

Thomas Crebbin was the second husband of Mary's daughter Elizabeth (Bastedo) Patmore.

---------
George Cloakey's email of 21 December 2009 includes the following information from Sam Poaps:

Ron Poapst's list of Daniel Frederick's children, obtained from his grandmother Velma McEwan, taken from the "Gideon Adams Bible," consists of 9 individuals:
John F Poapst (b 1795)
Mary Poapst (b 1798)
Elizabeth Popps (b 1800)
Peter Popps (b 1802)
George Popps (b 1804)
Catherine Popps (b 1807)
Ann(e) Popps (b 1810)
Margaret Popps (b 1813)
Jacob F Popps (b 1818)

Not listed in that family Bible are:
Frederick (b 1798) - Possibly the same person as John Frederick?
Susannah (b 1799)

There is a record of John applying to add an "F" to his name, which indicates that he did not have a middle initial prior to that time. Would he do this if he had a younger brother named Frederick? Is it possible he added "Frederick" in remembrance of a younger brother who died in childhood?

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Yeoman.

• Owned: Lot 22 in concession 9 in Winchester, 1803, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Upper Canada (Ontario), Canada.

Was Daniel Papst her second husband perhaps?

From http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ont-stormont-dundas-glengarry/2004-02/1076776417:

"...Alonzo Wereley's grandfather, Peter Wereley, together with a brother George Wereley and two sisters, Mary Wereley, who afterwards became Mrs. Frederick Poapst, and Margaret Wereley, who married a Mr. Coons, all came from New York State as [United Empire] Loyalists. Peter was born in 1789 and at the age of 17 he and his brother and sisters were among the first settlers on Crown Lands in Osnabruck's 4th concession. He died in 1871 at the age of 82 years and Alonzo Wereley is carrying on the family tradition as to age very well.

"'I often heard my grandfather tell of the depredations of wolves in those early days,' said Mr. Wereley. 'Wolves were very plentiful and one day one of his cows came home with her face all scratched and bleeding after fighting to keep the wolves away from her calf.'

"Peter and George Wereley settled on adjoining farms, each having 100 acres and Peter often carried feed in a sack on his back across the length of one farm to the other."

Noted events in her life were:

• Settled: on Crown Lands in Osnabruck's 4th concession, Abt 1806, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Upper Canada (Ontario), Canada.

Wood Monument

The Wood Monument is of great historical interest. It is situated at the south side of the cemetery, overlooking Lake St. Lawrence and visible from all areas. It was originally located in St. David's Anglican Church Cemetery, Wales, a small hamlet just south of the present site. The memorial is unique in design. It is made from metal manufactured at an iron foundry owned by Col. John R. Wood whose memory it commemorates. The foundry was located on the Wood Farm, a short distance west of the Village of Lunenburg, about two and a half miles north of the cemetery. The Wood Monument is surrounded in the cemetery by a number of monuments bearing the Wood name, all descendants of Jonas Wood, U.E.L. Tribute is paid to the memory of Col. John R. Wood in the Historical Atlas of Ontario-Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry-1879. The descendants of Jonas Wood, (grandfather of John R. Wood) and his wife Sarah Osborne are many. The eight children of Jonas and Sarah all married and had large families and for the last two hundred years these have multiplied and spread out over Eastern Ontario and many other parts of Canada and the United States.

Noted events in his life were:

• Served: in the King's Royal Regiment of New York (K.R.R.N.Y.) during the Revolutionary War, until Spring 1784. ⁵⁵¹
