James Wade was taxed for 150 acres in New Kent County in 1704 (The Quit Rents of Virginia, 1704)

On 24 March 1725, for 35 shillings, James Wade received a patent for 350 acres in Hanover County, Virginia, on both sides of Hollowing Camp Creek. (Patent Book 12, Page 356, Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume III, Neil Marion Nugent, Virginia State Library, Richmond, 1979)

Neighboring land owners were Alexander Snead, George Sims, Benjamin Brown, Charles Snelson, William Pulliam and John Hill. They and James Wade had land adjoining 400 acres in Hanover County that was patented to John Clements on 17 August 1725. (Patent Book 12, page 246)

A patent was issued to Richard Bullock, Jr. on 25 August 1731 for 400 acres adjacent to James Wade. (Patent Book 14, page 219)

On 28 September 1732 a patent for 400 acres of lapsed land, previously granted to Nathaniel Dickenson on 28 September 1728, was granted to Joseph Moutray. The tract bounded by Wade's line and the land of John Clement. (Patent Book 14, page 480)

In August 1764, Pearce Wade and wife, Mary, conveyed 105 acres on the west side of Harris Creek in Amherst County to John Godwin.

On July 1, 1765, Pearce (Pierce) Wade of Amherst County sold the land on which he lived in Amherst County to Alexander McCaul. The tract, containing 308 acres, adjoined the lands of John Goodwin, John Wales, William Stanton, James Crews and Edward Eidson. The deed was witnessed by Neill Campbell, Richard Harris and John Rippen.

"Tidewater Virginia Families" by Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davis.
On page 597 there is a young widow, Elizabeth Pettyjohn was left with three young children, then she married Robert Warren, Jr. and after November 1764 they left Sussex County, Delaware and travelled to Amherst County, Virginia. Robert and Elizabeth settled in the area of Harris Creek, where Pearce Wade had bought land in 1760. Robert Warren died before September 1769; his estate was presented to court and Pearce Wade was appointed the administrator. In December 1769, "Elizabeth Wade, the late widow of Robert Warren" presented his inventory to the court. It was returned and recorded on March 5, 1770. It is not known whether Pearce Wade had lived in Delaware earlier, however, it is thought not, and that he was simply a close neighbor. Pearce bought 413 acres of land on Harris Creek, on May 8, 1760, from George Carrington, for L124.15.10. Earlier, he had lived on Thrasher's Creek, in Albemarle County, having bought land there in 1752. He and his wife, Mary sold the land in October 1760, and in 1764, he and his wife, Mary sold on Harris Creek.

While no record has been found of the date that Elizabeth Pettyjohn Warren married Pearce Wade, they married before December 1769, Elizabeth Wade, "the late widow of Robert Warren" presented his inventory to the court. No mention has been found of any children of Elizabeth and Robert Warren, however, Elizabeth brought to her marriage to Pearce Wade, her three Pettyjohn children. Pearce has a number of children by his previous marriage to include: Ballinger, Jeremiah, David, James, Pearce, Susanna, Lucretia, Abigail and Elizabeth Wade. It seems that all of his children were under age when he and Elizabeth married, as all but three were still under age in 1784. 12 children, at least, graced their household, and it is probable that all of them were living at home.

Pearce Wade did not live long after his marriage to Elizabeth Warren. He made his will on December 13, 1769 and died before March 5, 1770, when his will was recorded in Amherst County.

Thomas Watts, John Dawson and Boyce Eadson witnessed Pearce Wade's will. Ambrose Rucker, Richard Peter, Richard Shelton and James Crews were named the executors of his estate. He left Elizabeth her dower land, the plantation on which he lived, but he made provisions for a house to be built for her. His son, Ballinger was later to administer his father's estate. Their neighbors were the Woodruffs, Powells, Goodwins, Ownsbys, Dawsons and Crews.

Ballinger Wade must have lived on his father's plantation. Pearce Wade owned a mill and in May 1777, Richard Shelton, Joseph Crews and David Woodruff were ordered to view a way for a road from the mill into Shelton's road near Harris Creek.

NOTES FOR WILLIAM WYNNE:

Copied from: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/y/n/Gary-Wynn-IN/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0014.html

William I was a wealthy landowner who bought and sold large areas of property moving west throughout southern Virginia. The falls of the river in Danville bear his name.

Copied from: http://web.utk.edu/~garywynn/Stuff2/Wynneage.html

From Va. Historical Genealogies Page 183

Colonel William Wynne, a younger son of Major Joshua Wynne, was born in Prince George County in 1705. (Deposition) His land fell in Brunswick County when it was formed from Prince George in 1732 and later in Lunenburg when it was formed in 1746. He was Justice in Brunswick in 1732, Sheriff of that county in 1736 and Colonel of Militia in Lunenburg in 1749. (Ex. Journals of Council 4 266-368; Bell, Sunlight in S,S. 116) The Tithables in Lunenburg for this family in 1749 were "Colonel William Wynne, William Wynne, Robert Wynne, Thomas Wynne". In 1750 they were Col. William Wynne, William Wynne Jr. Colonel Wynne moved to Pittsylvania where he was member of the first county court. (See V.H.G.-183 for his history there) In his will he mentions sons William, Thomas, Robert, and John. The first three names coincide with those in Lunenburg. In addition he had a son John and several daughters.

Copied from: Wynne of Tazwell County, Virginia p. 27

The philoprogentive quality of the Wynnes and their predilection for repeating Christian names renders it quite difficult to unravel the tangled skein of their descent. Land Patents, however, and indentures extablish the validity of the ensuing pedigree. William Wynne, son of Joshua and Mary (Jones) Wynne, and his wife Frances, removed in 1752 to that portion of Lunenburg Co., Va., which in the same year became Halifax Co. and afterwards Pittsylvania, where he died in 1778. His son, William Jr. presumably accompanied or followed him and ultimately died in Tazewell Co. But his sons Thomas and John remained in Lunenburg near the Brunswick line. John Wynne had received a grant of land in Brunswick on the south side of Tucking Creek adjoining the land of his brother Thomas in 1746, just before the change in county line placed the land in Lunenburg. Fifteen years later Thomas Wynne received almost 3,000 acres more on both sides of Hounds Creek and also on the southern branches of Tucking Creek adjoining the land of Richard Stone. Twice in the following year Thomas sold some of this particular land to John (surname now spelled Winn in both cases and both described as "of Lunenburg County" Lunenburg Deed Bk.7, p.231, 4/8/1762, and p.338, 7/30/1762. In 1765 John Winn (designated as "Senior") conveyed to John Winn Jr. 381acres on the south side of Tucking Creek in Lunenburg adjoining the lands of William and John Stone.

Then, after a dozen years, John Stone Sr. of Mecklenburg sold to John Winn, his son-in-law, also of Mecklenburg, 141 acres in that county beginning at the mouth of Buffaloe Creek along the Roanoke River. In exchange for which Winn sold to Stone similar land which he had purchased in 1768. In 1765 Peter Wynn of Lunenburg purchased some land in Mecklenburg.

That Peter Wynn was a son of John Wynn (Wynne, Winn) is demonstrated by John's Will:

Item, I give unto my son Peter Winn the lower part of my land according to the new line as before mentioned wiht ninety acres a survey lying on the Opposite Side of the Creek which is now in his Possession to hin and his heirs forever... The will refers to John's wife as Ann known to be the daughter of John Stone of Mecklenburg for the latters will mentioning son-in-law John Winn and his wife Ann. Peter Winn's wife Letty or Lettice was a daughter of Richard and Mary (Yancy) Stone.

For 100 years after the settlement of Jamestown new settlers continued to make their homes primarily in Tidewater Virginia, With the beginning of the second century of colonization there had begun a very pronounced westward movement of settlers. One very distinct direction of this movement was through Southside Virginia where was to be found rich, new soil. Tobacco was king and Southside had the kind of land to grow the finest tobacco.

William Wynne, son of Joshua, was a pioneer leader in this movement. The record of his movement from Stony Creek in Prince George County across Brunswick, Lunenburg, Halifax, on to the Dan River in Pittsylvania County is recorded in Deed Books and in the Executive Journal of the Council of Colonial Virginia. As early as 1727 he had acquired tracts of land on Stony Creek and Nottoway River during the same period, William Wynne, a younger son of Major Joshua Wynne, was born in Prince George County in 1705. (Deposition) His land fell in Brunswick County when it was formed from Prince George in 1732 and later in Lunenburg when it was formed in 1736 and Colonel of Militia in Lunenburg in 1749.

The Tithables in Lunenburg for this family in 1749 were 'Colonel William Wynne, William Wynne, Robert Wynne, Thomas Wynne". In 1750 they were Col. William Wynne, William Wynne Jr, Colonel Wynne moved to Pittsylvania where he was a member of the first county court.

In his will he mentions sons William, Thomas, Robert & John, The first three names coincide with those in Lunenberg. In addition he had a son John and several daughters.1715-William Wynne a witness in a case-pg 86 Vol 20 Va. Historical Magazine-Prince George County Records.

Notes on Isaac Woods

Isaac Woods moved to Marlborough with his family when he was about six years old. He married there about 1682 to Mary Maynard, daughter of his neighbor John Maynard. She apparently died of complications from childbirth two days after the birth of their fourth child. Isaac was taxed four shillings in the Andros tax of 1688.[4] In 1696-7 school was kept at Isaac Woods' old house which was then unoccupied.[1/99] In 1702 he opposed the settlement of Mr. Emerson as minister for Marlborough.[1/102] In 1711, during Queen Anne's War (one of the French and Indian Wars), Isaac was assigned to Jonathan Newton's garrison, the same one to which Roger Bruce was assigned.[1/110] This was in the part of town that soon after became Southborough.

His will, dated 8 June and proved 17 Aug 1720, mentioned his wife Mary, eldest sons Isaac and Joseph, youngest sons Charles and Solomon, daughter Dinah, and daughters by a former wife Mary and Elizabeth. His wife was made the executrix. The inventory of the estate was taken 2 Aug 1720 by Isaac Bellows, David Fay, and Edward Goddard and totaled 515.18.06. It included housing and lands valued at 337.10.00 and personal property valued at 178.08.06.[2/16:134]

Notes Re: John Meador 1658-1721, Essex County, Virginia

The following information was abstracted from "Meadors Family in Colonial America" by Victor P. Meador and Bernal Meador (LDS Fishce #6088414)

It would appear that John Meador was born about 1658 because he apparently was of legal age by August 1679 (Rappahannock County Deed Book 5, p. 261). He was probably 4 or 5 years old at the death of his father and is presumed to have spent his childhood with his mother Sarah and his step-father, Henry Awbrey on Awbrey's Plantation on Hoskins Creek (South Farmham Parish). His mother gave him a yoke of oxen and a gun, as well as a black heifer (Rappahannock County Deed Book 1, p. 255). These were registered for "John Meadors, son of Thomas Medors of Hoskins Creek."

John could not occupy the land grants of his father, Thomas Meador, while a child, but apparently did so upon attaining adult status which coincided with his marriage to Elizabeth White, the daughter of Richard and Addra White between 1677 and 1678. She and John Meador were deeded the plantation of her father, Richard White, "out of kindness and affection" for the care and maintenance of himself and his wife for the remainder of their lives." (Rappahannock County Deed Book 6, p. 26, February 4, 1677-1678.)

"John Meador was a politically powerful favorite of Royal Governor Berkeley and benefitted from a number of grants from the Royal government along the Rappahannock River in the 1660s. He was not a Puritan but a Royalist..."

Elizabeth White Meador, John's wife, died before the close of 1694. Anticipating a second marriage and wanting to ensure his children's rights of inheritance, John made a deed of gift on December 10, 1695, dividing the bulk of his holdings among his children. Through this deed, we learn that he had by this time sons Richard, Thomas, and John Jr; daughters Hope, Rachel, Elizabeth and Esther. The firstborn son of John and Elizabeth was Richard, named for his Grandfather White.

Nearing 63 years of age, John Meador became aware of his approaching death and made his will October 17, 1721 (Essex County Will Book 3, p. 284). It was presented in court for probate 21 November 1721. The will recognized the surviving children of his first marriage with token bequests of a shilling apiece to Thomas, Rachel and Elizabeth. The other children by Elizabeth White, namely Richard, John Jr., and Esther, as well as Hope, had preceded him in death.

John Meador's will can be found in the book, "The Meador Family"

http://www.nose.dk/Norway/trane.html

#1 see 1.0 As the quote "Christen Trane is known to have been married twice," thus, Kielland [Axel Kielland: The Kielland family with its cognate ... (1897), p. 223] believed that Christian and Peder (as well as Else) had a common father named Christen Trane. Although the two half-brothers Christen and Peder Trane have so far not been mentioned with a father's name anywhere, neither in Norwegian nor Danish sources, it is still probable that their father had the name Christian. One indication of this is that both Christen and Peder Trane had a son named Christen, another that in Christen Trane's seal [see fig. 4 in the articles] are the letters C. C.1 New studies of Danish source writings covering the 16th century have brought to light two men named Christen Trane. Both are located in Copenhagen. On April 4, 1542, we are informed that a Christen Trane [Christiern Tranne] lived in one of the university's farms in the Vandmøllestrædet

[Kj% C3% B8benhavns Diplomatarium, vol. 6, p. 35].

Out of context, it seems that in 1542 he left the house to another [Anders Nielsen Bager]. Theoretically, this Christian Trane might well have been the father of Christian and Peder Trane, but for lack of evidence one has for the time being merely to consider it a hypothesis. The time could also fit well with the fact that in 1542 he may have been a widower. As mentioned, Christen C. Trane was born in 1533 and his half-brother Peder was probably born somewhat later, between 1545-1555. The fact that Christen Trane in Copenhagen has now moved could perhaps be due to his remarriage and that together with his new wife he may have moved out of the city. Assuming that ordinary people usually did not move very far, one could guess that he may have settled somewhere in Zealand or in Malmö.1 In 1582 we also find that a Christian Trane paid rent of a farm or plot "By Vollen" in Copenhagen, which was owned by "holy Gesthuus hospital". In an "Earth book at kiøbstedtz goidz to holy Gesthuus hospital" we find this entry: "By Vollenn. Michel Quarries viij marck. Hanns Mynther xij marck. Christenn Trane ix marck. » [Kj% C3% B8benhavns Diplomatarium, vol. 1, p. 524] .1 Since these two Christian Trane are mentioned every 40 years, it seems unlikely that it could be the same man. In that case, it must mean that there is a Christen Trane in Copenhagen at the same time as Christen Trane in Stavanger [1533-1600 1533-1600], but it could theoretically also be Christen Trane in Stavanger who may have paid rent here [in Copenhagen year 1582] on behalf of another (such as his stepmother or hitherto unknown siblings).

Christen Trane was probably living in Viborg and was married twice. Several of his children came to Norway: his son Christen Christenson Trane was bailiff and married to teammate Nils Jonson's daughter Magdalena, Peder Christenson Trane was a sorcerer in Hardanger and Voss.

Oak Hill
When the first settlers began to clear the area where you live, in the 1730's, Fairfax County had not yet been carved out of Prince William County to the south. Lord Fairfax's agent, Robert "King" Carter, had given out large tracts of land for settlement to various individuals, who in turn usually leased or sold portions of their grants to people who wanted to start farms. All these grants have been plotted and overlaid on a map of modern Fairfax County by Beth Mitchell. she further discusses them in a Fairfax County History Publication called Beginning at a White Oak which accompanies the map.

In trying to trace the ownership of Oak Hill Farm we are concerned with three of these grants or patents as they were called. The first is called the Piney Ridge tract which belonged to Robert Carter, Jr. As you will see from Beth Mitchell's map, your house would appear to be in this tract.

However, I can find no Carter leases for that tract in Prince William, Fairfax or Loudoun County records. We might expect to find them in these three places, because in 1742 Fairfax County was carved out of Prince William; and, in 1757, Loudoun County was separated from Fairfax. For forty years, from 1757 to 1797, the area west of Difficult Run, where your farm is, was part of Loudoun.

As Beth Mitchell points out, those early surveys of the patent boundaries were not always too accurate by our standards, so it would appear the Carter's grant should be a little farther north than it has been placed on her map, which puts you in the Awbrey-Tayloe-Turberville grant. Before we leave Piney Ridge, however, you might be interested to note that on Mrs. Mitchell's overlay map Wet Ox Road runs straight along the patent boundary between Carter and Tayloe. There was quite a drawn-out lawsuit over the division of the tract among Carter's heirs; and, according to an 1822 survey made in connection with this, Ox Road is shown looping to the south of the boundary at one point, very possibly where the abandoned road runs in front of your house. ( Proceedings in Land Causes, Vol. 2, p.135)

This brings us to the grant in which your house is located immediately to the south of Carter's Piney Ridge. This property was first granted to Francis Awbrey in 1725. He sold it to Colonel John Tayloe in 1730, and Tayloe sold it to George Turberville at a date yet to be discovered. Turberville had a 4,142 acre patent adjoining Tayloe's to the south, which also comes into the story and into which some of your farmland today may fall.

LANDOWNERS AND THEIR TENANTS

As you may remember, Sallie Lane Lewis' Uncle Ben Higgs told her that "Oak Hill" had been given to another Sally Lane, born almost 200 years ago, by her father William Lane when she married Benjamin Higgs in 1816. Therefore, I was looking not only for leases on the site of your house from the land grant owner, but for a Lane purchase of the land.

In his will, recorded on page 110 of Fairfax County Will Book J-1 on February 11, 1808, William Carr Lane, Sr., did indeed "give and bequeath to my daughter Sally Rooles (alternate spelling of Rowles) 298 acres of land called Oakhill and including to make up that quantity 83 acres which had been leased by John Turberville to my father James Lane.....also the following slaves: Beck and her infant, Jack, Henry and Anna, also the furnishings which were part of her dowry." William Carr Lane, Sr., had several other children to whom he gave like portions, so you can see he was one the prosperous landowners of that time. The inventory of his estate, also recorded in Will Book J-1, beginning on p. 224, shows him to have been the owner of 33 slaves valued at over $6,000 and personal property such as farm equipment and household furnishings valued at almost $9,000.

Since Lane mentioned his father James Lane had leased land from the Turbervilles, I looked to see if he might have acquired the land on which your house is built. The only early entry was in Price William County Deed Book E on page 146, which showed that James Lane leased a 142-acre plantation on which he was then living from From George Turberville in 1740. This was on Turberville's 4,142-acre tract to the south of Awbrey-Tayloe.

There were three other leases for small plantations (150 acres apiece) recorded by Turberville on that tract at almost the same time, one to a William Lane, who was probably James' brother or cousin. These leases were usually given for three lives: those of the husband, his "present" wife (because women so often died in childbirth in those days, I think), and the eldest son if there was one. This practice is very useful to us today. In the case of James Lane we can match up the names of the wife and son to be sure we are following the same person.

The James Lane who leased from Turberville in 1740 had a wife named Lydia and a son named Aaron. The Major James Lane whose will was probated in Loudoun County in 1794 (Will Book B, pp. 212-214) had a wife (still) named Lydia and a son named Aaron, as well as sons Moses, James, Jr., and William and several daughters.

James Lane was the only one of the four 1740 lessees who eventually bought his plantation. His son William Carr Lane had to go to court to get the title transferred and recorded (Fairfax County Deed Book E-2. p. 466), which leads us to an 18th century practice which is not helpful today.

They were sadly negligent about recording title transfers. There are several of William Carr Lane's land holdings acquired from Turberville listed in the Fairfax County Tax Rools of 1798-1816 for which I can find no purchase deeds, including the two which make up the 298 acres of Oak Hill Farm. The basic tract of "land called Oakhill" under Lane's name in the 1798 tax rolls was 213 acres acquired from Turberville and valued at $2.41 an acre.

The 1797 and before Loudoun County tax rolls, which might tell us when he bought it, are unfortunately dim and illegible on microfilm, although the originals in the State Library at Richmond might be more readable. We can be sure this is the "land called Oakhill" (1) because it is the only tract of the acreage (in 1805 the listing changed to 215, perhaps they took a survey), and (2) because in 1811 after Lane's estate had been settled, this land was transferred from his name to that of Joseph E. Rolls (Rowles), his son-in-law, along with 83 acres subtracted from a 335 acre tract "from Turberville", for which there is likewise no sale or lease in the records.

Again going back to Miss Lewis' information, you may remember that Joseph e. Rowles died of typhus in Georgetown in 1811. In 1814, the Land Tax Records show "oak Hill Farm" as the property of the heirs of Joseph Rolls, who are "scattered", and in 1816, their "place of residence is not known."

His boyhood was spent in Washington following the Civil War and during his father’s occupancy of the White House. In 1924 Jesse retired and came to Los Altos.

To the Stead relatives
From George A. Stead.

I was in Leeds October 9 & 10, where I spent several hours in the Leeds Public Library, the Leeds Library” (Which is the oldest proprietary library in England) the Mill-Hill Chapel, and the home of the present minister, Brian L. Golland, M. A.

Later I will try to send you a picture of the present Mill Hill Chapel, opened in 1848 about the time our people came to New Orleans & St. Louis as well as a picture of the original chapel which it replaced on the same site dating from 1672. It is Unitarian, as you know, and is very proud of the fact that Joseph Priestly was a minister there during the l7th century. Priestly was a devout religionist of the Unitarian faith as well as a scientist and friend of Benjamin Franklin. He discovered oxygen and did some experimental work in electricity. He was persecuted in England for his advanced views and died in Pennsylvania.

I established a very interesting contact with the present director of the “Leeds Library”¬(Which is supported by subscriptions and contains a great deal of historical material), Frank Beckwith. As you know Beckwith was a Stead family name. I expect to correspond with Mr. Beckwith and he has promised to send me an Out-Of-print book on Mill Hill Chapel.

As I got additional Information I will try to pass it on.

The present Mill Hill Chapel is neo-Gothic, located on one of the principal squares in the down-town part of Leeds. It is quite large and impressive and beautiful inside. It is in a large chapel yard with an iron fence. Within the yard are many graves marked by flat slabs. I think our grandparents (rather great-grandparents) were amongst the last to be buried there..

MARKING OF THE GRAVE OF OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS: “Elizabeth Ann/wife of Samuel Maud/died at age of 37 in March---1821//Samuel aude died at age of 63/Jan. 6 1845.” (Note the different spellings of Maude on the same stone).

There were at least two Steads buried in the chapel yard that I noticed but did not record the engravings.

Within the church in a steel vault (like a small bank vault) are large books containing the chapel records. These are copies, because the originals were requisitioned by the British Government and are now in London with all official records of births, deaths, etc.

CHAPEL RECORDS. 1) Burial register: “Samuel Maude, Leeds, January 9, 1845” Minister was Wicksteed. (Note the discrepancy in the date of death from the grave marker. There is a tradition in the family that he got quite a kick out of reading in the paper about his own death). Also: “Hannah Stead, Hunslet Lane (Leeds), November 21, 1781, age 79.” Cause of death was "palsy." 2) Marriages: Matthias Stead, Mill full age; Ann Maud, full age; bachelor and spinster. His occupation—“stuff presser”, lived at 15 St. Marks St., Woodhouse, Leeds, father John Stead, Cloth presser; Charles Wicksteed, Minister. She lived at 170 Marsh Lane, father Samuel Maud, collector. Date of marriage, March 22, 1845.
3) Baptismal Register: Matthias & Ann Stead, parents, lived at Hunslet (Leeds), child Maud Mary, born Dec. 13, 1845, christened Feb. 25, 1846; mother’s maiden name, "Maud." Baptised by Charles Wicksteed. Same parents, Elizabeth Ann, born May 24, 1847, baptised June 13, 1837 (must be 1847); mother’s name, Maud, by Charles Wicksteed.

ITEM IN LEEDS MERCURY for Saturday, an. 1, 1845 (a weekly paper under deaths “On Monday(that would be the 6th) aged 63, Mr.Samuel Maude, of this town, one of the collectors of the poor rate.
HOPE TO FOLLOW.UP WITH MORE. George

Obituary from Western Union employee newsletter.
Minneapolis, Assembly No 88 - Reed D Smith
Born at Adrian, Mich, Jan. 31, 1851. Died at Minneapolis, Minn, Nov 3, 1922. This office was shocked by the sudden death of Reed D Smith, assistant early night testing and regulating chief, and one of the oldest employees in the service. Mr Smith worked up to Thursday, the day preceding his death, he complaining of not feeling well Thursday evening and went home early. On Friday morning he passed away suddenly due to heart failure. Mr Smith was 71 years old at the time of his death and held the positions of night chief operator and early night assistant testing and regulating chief for 34 years in the Minneapolis office, the latter position being held by him the past five years. He entered the service of the Western Union at the age of 21 years and worked in several small offices in the vicinity of Adrian, Mich, later being transferred to Elkhart, Ind, Chicago, Ill, Sparta, Wis, Sioux Falls, S Dak, and finally Minneapolis, where he rendered long and faithful service in the T and R department. Many of the oldtimers can recall many instances where he remained on duty indefinitely and came to the office at any hour of the night when severe storms ranging from blizzards to tornadoes wrought havoc to the wires. "SM," as he was popularly known, was known by the entire telegraph fraternity of the northwest, who will miss him and mourn his loss. Funeral services were held at 2pm, Monday, November 6, at Lakewood chapel, interment being at Lakewood cemetery. All members of the Association of Western Union employees and the telegraph fraternity as a whole extend their heartfelt sympathy to the family in their bereavement.

Obituary:
Baker, Alpheus - was born in Cornwall, Addison County, Vermont, April 14, 1795, where he passed his early life. On Aug. 19, 1820 he married Adelia Burgess, with whom he lived 9 years, when death carried her away, leaving him a widower with 4 small children, 2 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom survive him. On Feb. 7, 1830 he married Mrs. Mercy Mott, a widow with 3 children, who provided a faithful companion for the remainder of his life, a period of 58 years had he lived until the 7th of next month. On the anniversary of her 85th birthday, the wife saw the remains of her husband borne to their final resting place. After his second marriage, being then a resident of Ohio, with a family of 10 children and limited means, like many of the early pioneers, he settled in Noble County Aug. 16, 1836 in a little cabin where the village of Lisbon is now situated, but later moving on his own land half a mile west of Lisbon. At that time this part of Indiana was almost an unbroken wilderness and all the difficulties and perils of a settlement in a new country stared from every side. Dense woods surrounded the place marked out for a home, and Indians were almost the only inhabitant. On the day after arriving in this country he lost his team - almost his all - they having strayed away and supposed to have been taken by the blacklegs that then infested the counties of Noble and LaGrange. He participated in the War of 1812 in that decisive action at Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain. In our late war he was represented by 5 sons in loyal blue responding to our Union call. In 1837 he united with the Methodist Church, a feeble society in Lisbon, and upon the organization of that society in Kendallville he became a member. Nurtured and cared for by and at the residence of his youngest son, Frank, he died Jan. 11. Funeral was at the residence the 13th. Burial, Lisbon Cemetery. - Noble Co., Indiana Obituary on Jan. 20, 1888
