3061	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Albert Edward Milton was born on Decenber 16, 1880 to George Henry and Elizabeth Jane Forsyth Milton in Maywood Township, Benton County, Minnesota. Albert had 10 brothers and sisters and was raised on the family farm just north of Foley, Minnesota. When he was 15 years old, his father George died and Albert and his older brothers William and George worked their mothers farm to support the family. During the summer the brothers would work the farm and in the winter they worked in the "Big Woods" in the Mille Lacs Lake area. On October 12, 1907, Albert married Bertha Marie Eddy in St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota. To this union three children were born, Bruce, Myron and little sister Garnet. In 1909, Albert, his wife Bertha and baby Bruce traveled by train to the state of Washington to work in the woods. Prior to Myrons birth in October 1910, the family returned to Minnesota to live. Life was not easy, and Albert worked out as a laborer on local farms in the Ronneby, Minnesota area to earn a living. In 1914, the family owned a small 36 acre farm in Section 2 of Maywood Township in Benton County. In the 1920 federal census the Bert Milton family was living in Ronneby and Bert was listed as a farm laborer. In 1921 the family moved to the Mille Lacs Lake area and rented a small house in Section 18 of South Harbor Township where Albert continued to farm and worked out on the William Benzie farm. During the winter of 1924/25, Albert became very ill with a respiratory problem and traveled to Foley, Minnesota to doctor and stay with his mother Jennie Milton and his in-laws, Myron and Clare Eddy. His conditioned worsened and on April 17, 1925 he died, leaving his young family "up in the woods" to fend for themselves. Bruce and Myron worked a small farm that their mother bought in Bradbury Township and worked out in the woods, cutting fire wood to sell to the local creamery and high school. (Bruce S. Milton Research)	Milton, Albert Edward (I62154)
3062	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Alice was a graduate of St. Cloud State University and was a school teacher for many years. After retiring, she was employed by Chief's Cafe as Cashier. She was a member of St. Anna's Mission and the Christian Women of St. Augustine's parish.	Eddy, Alice Mary (I62161)
3063	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Bertha Eddy was born at Bailey's Corner, Big Lake Twp., Sherburne Co., Minnesota on April 25, 1889. In 1896 the Eddy family moved to Sauk Rapids, Minnesota where Myron Eddy had accepted the job as a rural mail carrier in Benton County. In 1902 the family moved to Ronneby, Minnesota where they engaged in the hotel business. In 1905 the family moved to a farm north of Ronneby and engaged in farming for the next three years. In October 12, 1907, Bertha married Albert Milton in St. Cloud, Minnesota. In 1909 Bertha, Albert and son Bruce traveled by train to the state of Washington where Albert worked in the woods. In 1910, the family returned to Ronneby where Albert worked as a farm laborer and Bertha was a housewife raising her two small boys. In the 1914 land survey plat map of Benton Co., it indicates that Albert Milton owned a 36 acre farm in section two of Maywood Township. In the 1920 Census, the Bert Milton Family was living in Ronneby and Bert's occupation was listed as a farm laborer. In 1921 the family moved to the Mille Lacs Lake area where they resided on a small farm in South Harbor Township. In 1925, Bert died and Bertha was left with her three children, Bruce 16 years old, Myron 14 years old and little sister Garnet 6 years old. At this time Bertha bought and moved to a farm in Bradbury Township near Onamia, Minnesota where the boys did the farming and worked in the woods. In 1932, not being able to keep up with the payments on the farm, Bertha sold the farm and she and Garnet moved to Foley, Minnesota to live at her parents home place. In the early 1940's, she moved to Sheldon, Washington where she lived with Garnet and Harry Floreck until she died on April 19, 1952. (Bruce S. Milton Research)	Eddy, Bertha Marie (I62155)
3064	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Bruce Edward Milton was born on June 11, 1908 to Albert Edward and Bertha Marie Eddy Milton in Ronneby, Minnesota. Bruce was the eldest of three children and when he was a year old, the family moved to the state of Washington where Albert worked in the woods as a logger. Just prior to the birth of their son Myron, the family moved back to the Ronneby area where Albert again engaged in farming. In 1914, the family owned a small 36 acre farm in Section 2 of Maywood Township in Benton County. Albert worked this small farm and also worked out for other farmers in the area as a laborer. In 1921 the family moved to Mille Lacs County and rented a small home in Section 18 of South Harbor Township. Albert continued to farm and also worked out on the William Benzie farm which was also located in South Harbor Township. During the winter of 1924\25, Albert became very ill with a lung respiratory problem and traveled to Foley, Minnesota to doctor and stay with his mother, Jennie Milton and his in-laws, Myron and Clara Eddy. His condition worsened and on April 17, 1925 he died, leaving his young family "up in the woods" to fend for themselves. Bruce, being the oldest child, then had the responsibility to support the family. He went to work for Houlton Benzie, doing farm chores on his farm which was located in South Harbor Township. In 1926, Bertha Milton and her family moved to a small farm located in Section 4 of Bradbury Township in Mille Lacs County and the family lived there until 1932. Shortly after Albert died, Bruce's uncle Joseph Wruck sent him to barber school in Minneapolis, Minnesota and give him a barbering job in his general store in Ronneby when he completed his schooling. Bruce didn't care for the barbering business and went back to farming with his immediate family. While living on the Bradbury Township farm, Bruce met Bertha Strang, his future wife and the daughter of William Strang who lived in Section 11 of the same township. Bruce and Bertha were married on May 18, l931 at the Holy Cross Catholic Church in Onamia, Minnesota. The couple lived in South Harbor Township where they farmed on the Houlton Benzie farm and Bruce also worked as a Special Deputy Sheriff for dances at Shore Acres and other local dance halls. In 1933 they moved to Onamia where they have since resided. Bruce was Chief of Police of the Village of Onamia and a Special Deputy Sheriff of Mille Lacs County from 1935 to 1942. In 1942, Bruce traveled to Canada and Alaska and did carpentry construction work on the Alcan Highway project. In March 1943 to December 1945 he served in the Army Air Corps as a gunnery instructor at Lowry Airforce Base, Denver, Colorado and later was assigned as a military policeman at Tyndol Air Force Base in Florida. Upon returning from the service, he was again employed by the Village of Onamia until he was elected Sheriff of Mille Lacs County in January 1946. He served as Sheriff of Mille Lacs County until December 1962. During the next ten years he did contract carpentry work in the Minneapolis and Onamia area retiring in 1972. During the next 12 years he assisted his wife Bertha at the Milton Rest Home in Onamia. Bruce and Bertha lived in Onamia most of their lives and raised a fine family of four children. Mr. Milton died on October 27, 1984 at the Onamia Community Mercy Hospital at the age of 76. He was a well respected gentleman in the community and certainly is missed by those whom he had come in contact with during his many years of community service. (Bruce S. Milton Research)	Milton, Bruce Edward (I62149)
3065	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Bruce was born and raised in Onamia, Minnesota. He attended the local public schools and graduated from High School in 1956. He attended the University of Minnesota, St. Cloud State University and the University of California and obtained BS degrees in Biology and Political Science. While attending College, Bruce worked for the U.S. Forest Service in California during two summers and for his father as Chief Deputy Sheriff of Mille Lacs Co., Minnesota for almost four years. During the period of 1959 thru 1965, Bruce was a reservist in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 1963 he accepted an inspectors position with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1966 he transferred to Chicago, Illinois and through an agency merger became a Special Agent with the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control. This agency was eventually merged with the present Drug Enforcement Agency. Bruce held various positions in DEA in Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington D.C., Minneapolis and St. Louis. His last postion with the Drug Enforcement Agency was Special-Agent-in-Charge of the St. Louis District Office. In 1972 Bruce accepted a position with the Federal Aviation Administration as the Civil Aviation Investigations and Security Manager of the Chicago Field Office. In 1973 he transferred to Minneapolis in the same position and retired from the Federal Service in 1994. During the 31 years of his Federal career, Bruce held a number of Investigative management positions, was a course instuctor and developed and implemented a number of new regulations in the narcotics and anti-terrorist field. Some of his more exciting experiences were involved in his Drug undercover activities in the early days of his career which took him on special assignments to a number of major U.S. cities. Since 1978 Bruce has been very active in compiling the Milton/Eddy family genealogy. Family vacations during this time have included many visits to County and State Historical Societies, County courthouses and libraries, Revolutionary and Civil War Battlefields, family homesteads, and cemeteries through-out the U.S., Canada, England and Scotland. Bruce is currently an active member of the Minnesota Historical Society, the Minnesota Genealogical Society, the Eddy Family Association and the Baird Family Association.	Milton, Bruce Silas (I62144)
3066	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Clara Fadden was born on March 29, 1869, the daughter of Aaron and Marcina Fadden of Cold Spring, Minnesota. In 1887 she married Myron Eddy at Cold Spring, and the couple moved to Sherburne County and lived there until until 1894 when they went to Maywood Township, Benton County to live. They remained there until 1911 when the couple moved to a small farm near Foley. Myron died in 1929 and Clara married Stephen Fuecker in October 1931. During her lifetime, Clara was a practical nurse and her charity was known throughout the community. She is credited with having cared for more than 800 infants during her career as a practical nurse. She died in October 1932 and the services were held thru the Christian Church of Ronneby, Minnesota. (St. Cloud Times - St. Cloud, Mn. - 1932)	Fadden, Clara Alma (I62159)
3067	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Donald was born in Maywood Twp., Benton Co., Mn. He was married in St. Cloud, Minnesota and lived in Aldrich, Minnesota before moving to Foley in 1951. He owned and operated a serice station in Foley until retiring in 1973.	Wruck, Donald Albert (I62167)
3068	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Myron Johnathon Eddy was born on March 27, 1856 in London Township, Monroe County, Michigan. Myron was the eldest child of Orrin and Asenath Walworth Eddy. In 1964, Orrin moved his family to Amherst Township, Fillmore County, Minnesota where his brother Ethan Eddy had settled on a homestead in 1853 and was one of the founders of this township. Orrin farmed in Fillmore County and worked at his brothers saw mill until he moved his family to Delavan Township near Bass Lake in Faribault County about 1869. Orrin died in Delevan, Minnesota on March 7, 1882 and is buried in the Bass Lake cemetery next to the Bass Lake community church. After the death of her husband, Asenath and her family moved to the vicinity of Elk River, Sherburne County, Minnesota. In the Minnesota State cenus records for 1885 it shows Asenath and her family living with the Sprague Brown family in Elk River. Hulda, Myron's only sister was married to Sprague Brown. In 1887, Myron married Clara Fadden in Cold Springs, Stearns County, Minnesota who was the eldest daughter of Arron and Marcina Reynolds Fadden. The family apparently made their home near Bailey's Corner in Sherburne County as all four of their children were born there. In 1896 the family moved to Sauk Rapids, Benton Co., Minnesota where Myron had accepted the position as a rural mail carrier. At this time the village of Sauk Rapids was at the end of the railroad and was the largest town in this section of the county, with the city of St. Cloud just getting started. Myron accepted the position of carrying mail to the residents in the rural districts of Benton County and with his team made the trip to Ronneby and south of there along the old coach road twice a week. He held this mail carrying job with the exception of a few months for the next eight years. Seeing possibilities in the hotel business in Ronneby, he moved his family there in 1902 and for the next three years he ran the Ronneby Hotel. At this time Foley was merely a logging camp run by the Foley Bros. who were logging off Benton County. He then moved onto a farm north of Ronneby with his family and for three years he took up farming. In 1908, due to failing health, he moved to Foley where he resided until he died on April 1, 1929 from a heart problem. Myron was a member of the St. Francis Camp 11 of the Modern Woodsmen Association at Ronneby for 32 years. During this time he held all the offices in the camp, a number of them many times. Myron's childen were Mrs. Joe Wruck (Alice) who lived in Oak Park, Minnesota; Mrs. Albert Milton (Bertha) of Onamia, Minnesota; Mrs. Alpha Vaillancourt (Dora) of Oak Park, Minnesota and his son Clarence Eddy of Foley, Minnesota. Myron was buried at the Ronneby Lutheran Cemetery. (Bruce S. Milton Research)	Eddy, Myron Jonathan (I61541)

3070	[EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] When Sprague was six months old, he moved with his family from Carroll, New Hampshire to Minnesota, They settled near Elk River, Minnesota where he attended the local schools. He was united in marriage to Hulda Eddy on September 23, 1884. They made their home in Zimmerman, Minnesota where they farmed until his death in 1952.	Brown, Sprague Carlton (I62194)

3072	[EFA4.FTW] [The Hastings Banner, Wed., March 12, 1975, pg. 6, col. 5] INEZ I. HARDY Mrs. Inez I. Hardy, 81, 1801 Osborn Rd., Hastings, died at 9:35 PM Thursday, March 6 at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Born in Woodland Township on Oct. 20, 1893, she was the daughter of Irwin and Leu Jennie (Harper) Eddy. She grew up in Woodland Township and attended the South Jordan School. She was a lifelong Barry County resident. She married Clarence Hardy of Baltimore Twp, who died March 12, 1957. Mrs. Hardy had lived at the present address for the past 25 years. She entered the medical care facility last September. She is survived by a brother, William Eddy, Hastings, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held at 3:30 PM Monday at the Striker Cemetery with Rev. Sidney Short officiating. Arrangements were made by Leonard Osgood Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to Pennock Hospital.	Eddy, Inez I. (I05141)
3073	[For Steph.ged] !A small genealogy is necessary to understand Temperance's forebares. This is because her mother, Elizabeth, had Temperance and three other children, Rebecca, Ann, and Jacob K. Straight, by Temperance's great uncle Jacob Straight. Jacob Straight was the brother to Peter Straight which was the father of Elizabeth. Therefore, Elizabeth's children's father, Jacob Straight, was also their great uncle, and also, the uncle to Elizabeth Straight. !The 1850 Census shows the following: !Samuel Eddy (age) 52, Temperance (Straight) Eddy (age) 63. Therefore, if you calculate the births of Temperance and Samuel from this Census, Samuel Eddy would have been born in 1798 and Temperance would have had to be born sometime in late 1786 because she was born before the Indian Massacre of 1786 (See the account of the Indian Massacre in her mother's notes, and also, in her step-father, William Kennedy's notes). !According to the Kennedy History of the Indian Massacre it stated that Rebecca was (age 9) and Temperance (was calculated to be age 7) when the Massacre took place. Later in the Kennedy History it is stated that Ann's Tombstone gives her date of death as 9 Aug 1834, and lists her age as 50 years old when Ann died. Ann's calculated birth would have been 9 Aug 1784. Therefore, according the the 1850 Census and Ann's Tombstone, at the time of the Indian Massacre, Ann would have been about 2 years old and Temperance would have been a baby of only a few months in the story. !However, most histories state that it was Ann who was the baby. Unfortunately, we only have the 1850 Census at this time bo determine Temperance's birth. If she was 7 at the Indian Massacre, she would have had to be born about 1779 which would have made her 70 in the 1850 census rather than 63 and this would have made her 18 years older than her husband Samuel rather than 11 years older. !1850 Census dated August 26: !Calc.

Va., was an indian path. The pioneers used these roads also, as primitive as they ere....most generally larger than a game trail, but as the early settlements grew up on these pathways they were the direct route of access. The indian's were very familiar with this area and in winter and fall camped on the hill over looking the Straight's Run valley. This camping area was called Fort Hill because of its easy defense; it was used to process the game killed prior to it's shipment to the indian's towns in the Ohio area. The indian's who died on these hunting journeys were buried on Fort Hill. !The indians had been pushed westward against their will, almost all treaties had been broken and the Shawnee Nation was grouping for a great offensive action against the whites. The tribes were massing in the Wabash River area and many raiding parties had been sent to steal horses prior to the expected battle. The Ohio Shawnee were led by Chief Blue Jacket; a white man from Virginia named Marmaduke Van Sweringen who had joined the tribe when he was 15 years old. The indians were frantic, river travel was very hazardous and on land raiding parties were frequent. The British at Detroit were helping arm the indians by paying a bounty of 50 to 100 pounds sterling for white scalps in prime condition. !One such raiding party descended on the Straight's Run settlers on Oct. 6th, 1786. While most of the men were out hunting, or helping a neighbor, (Glenn Lough says the men were clearing land at Asa Hall's at Bellview) the settlers staying at the Straight's Run cabins were Jacob and Elizabeth Straight and children Nicholas Woods at Jacob Straight's cabin. In a cabin near the property line, where Elizabeth (Straight) Dragoo and her children, she was a sister to Jacob Strait. As the time's dictated, when most of the men were away the early settlers would gather in their cabins as a refuge against danger. !Mrs. Dragoo had taken her children to the garden to pick fodder beans. (These were planted after the corn grew.) So Mrs (Elizabeth Straight) Dragoo was in the corn field, with her children William and a baby, when the indians captured them. !When she did not return, Jacob Straight and Nicholas Woods came to the garden to investigate her prolonged absence. Upon approaching the garden they were fired upon and Nicholas Woods fell, dying instantly. !Elizabeth (Straight, Jacob's wife), who out of curiosity, had followed the ment to the crest of a small rise which sheltered the cabin from the wind, fled for her life when she heard the shots. Upon reaching the cabin, she picked up her small daughter Ann and raced southward toward the creek. The other girls, Rebecca (age 9) and Temperance (age 7ca) tried to keep up, with their mother, as she raced along the woodland trail. One girl fell in a brier patch and was undetected, while the other hid under some fallen trees. !Elizabeth had run 3/10 of a mile with the child in her arms when she came to the rocky ledge area of the creek. Exhausted, she scrambled under a shelving rock ledge below the path. !In a few very short minutes, Jacob came running down the same path. He had been behind them about 150 yds, and was trying to lead the indians away from where he thought his family was hiding. The indians caught him a short distance past the spot where Elizabeth layed and concealed with her baby (The Straight account says she stuffed a hankerchief or rag into its mouth to keep her from crying). It is said that Elizabeth heard him bargain for his life when he was overtaken, and heard the tommahawk blow that killed him. I'm sure she gave the returning hunters her account of the massacre. !"John Dragoo (by the account given by Jaj. Harding to the Pittsburg Gazette Aug to Dec 1786) had escaped himself, being in a field pulling beans and hearing screams of the children; his wife was killed, also Jacob Shoyler's (Straight) family was killed or taken, not any escaped.....Mr. Dragoo who saw the savages thinks there were about 15" !Monument: !INDIAN MASSACRE !Here nicholas Wood and Jacob Straight were killed and Mrs. Elizabeth Dragoo captured during Indian raid in 1786. Mrs. Straight and daughter made their excape from the Indians by hiding under sheltering rocks near by. !TEMPERANCE STRAIGHT: !The history written by James E. Kennedy gives no dates pretaining to Temperance and her husband James Mayfield. Most of the early Mayfields had settled near the Cheat River and moved toward the Dellslow-Sabraton area, James may have been some of these people. (There is an early Mayfield cemetery in Sabration.) !The records for Monongalia County have little information; the burning of the courthouse records in 1797 may account for this. !James Mayfield is living in the Hagans area in the 1830's and appears at the estate sale of William Kennedy in 1834. He buys one Clevis for 50 cts; 2 old chairs for 64 cts and 4 head of hogs for the sum of $2.41. !It has been mentioned in other accounts that they moved to the Whetzel County area with Jasper Straight in the 1820's. I believe they moved Later. Land records for Whetzel County show a parcel of 150 acres sold by Isaac Hog on 19 July 1856 to a James Mayfield, but I believe this is most likely a son because of the date of the deed. !On June 13, 1834, James Mayfield, Temperance's first husband bought One Clevis for .50 cents, Four head hoges 2.41 and Two old chairs at William Kennedy's Estate Sale at William's death. We also see Samuel Eddy, Temperance's second husband at the same sale. Samuel bought One pair of Horse geers for .95 cents and one pitchfork for .28 cents. (See William Kennedy Jr.'s notes for -compleat Bill Sale.) !It is very obvious that all of these people knew each other. !Temperance, the other girl connected with the Indian Massacre married James Mayfield:James and Temperance moved to Whetzel County, West Virginia. their son married Elizabeth Thorn, widow of Archbald Thorn. She was a daughter of George Wilson. (cousins). ----------------- !Straight Genealogy: !Temperance b. abt 1780 m. James Mayfield - no record found. They supposedly relocated to Whetzel Co. (See W. VA. Heritage Encycl Suppl Vol I, "Hardesty" p. 198 - Tyler Co. refers to a Samuel Mayfield MO b. 1834 in Monongalia Co and son of James & Permelia (Straight) Mayfield. It gives the year 1855 as the year James Mayfield and his family settled in Whetzel Co. This may be a different Mayfield.) ----------- !April 1, 1993 !Dear Mrs. Vines, 1I was given your address by David Kennedy of Fairmont, WV. I, also, have corresponded with Mary Virginia Sprouse of Clarksburg, WV. !By way of introduction - !my great great great grandparents Samuel and Temperance (Straight) Eddy !great great grandparents George W. and Tabitha ( ) Eddy !great grandparents Benjamin Franklin and Amy M. (VanDorn) Eddy !grandparents Job E. and Minnie Jane (Eddy) Jones !parents James and Amy Belle (Jones) Maxwell !me Jean L. (Maxwell) (Turner) Dent my husband - Edward H. Dent !In David Kennedy's material he indicates that Temperance Straight married James Mayfield. Our family has no knowledge of this marriage. I corresponded with David about the source of this information but he just states it as fact. I find only the record of James and Parmelia (Straight) Mayfield. I don't know to which Straight family she belonged, but I'm sure she was closely related. She had daughters, Temperance and Ann, and a son, Samuel. In the 1840 census, they were listed next to the Jacob K. Straight family whose wife was Permelia (Shuman). I wonder if there is a connection between the Permelias. !Temperance Straight was married to Samuel Eddy by 1820 (we believe ca 1818) in Monongalia Co. Our g-g-grandfather, George W. Eddy, was born there in May 1824. At the estate sale of William Kennedy in 1834, Samuel Eddy and James Mayfield were both in attendance. By 1836, Samuel and Temperance were living in Monroe Co. OH. Temperance died after the 1850 census and before 1855 when the family moved to Iowa. She is buried in the West Union Church Cemetery in Monroe Co. OH near Antioch. I am enclosing a copy of George W. Eddy's second marriage record. Not that he listed his mother as Temperancy Kennedy. She has a son, Jefferson Straight, and possibly two daughters (?) before she was married. We looked at Jefferson's death record in Monroe Co. OH and his parent is listed as Tempie Straight. He was born in 1806. In 1850, an Elizabeth Straight, age 45, was living with Samuel and Temperance, possibly a daughter of Temperance (?). I'm wondering about Permelia, also - no documentation on either of them. !I wrote to the Wetzel Co. Genealogical Society and received information about James Mayfield's grave. (see enclosed) !We have found no record of Jacob Straight having a brother, Peter. We don't know the source of this information. We have copies of DAR charts for Riter Nicholas Straight and Effie Wilson which show that Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Straight, Jr. was a Dragoo. This agrees with information from Mary Virginia Sprouse. !We don't know the parentage of Samuel Eddy. We feel sure that Gawen Eddy was his grandfather but don't know which of Gawen's sons was Samuel's father. !My sister, Lea Maupin, and I have been working on our family history for about three years and have become completely addicted to it. A year and a half ago, we made a trip to WV and visited Fairmont and Morgantown. We drove down Straight's Run. That was quite and experience for us. We hope to get back to that area some day. !We would appreciate very much if you could share any additional information or correct any misinformation we may have. I am enclosing material that may make my letter a little clearer. !Sincerely, !Jean !Mrs. Jean L. Dent 303 South Johnson Drive Odessa, MO 64067	Straight, Temperance (I07061)

In 1790 he was listed in the Federal Census as in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1808 he was taxed in Wayne Township and censured in the same township in 1810 and 1820. The index to the original patents for Green County (Volume iii of the Horn Papers) does not show an Isaac Eddy. !He most likely lived on what is now known as Eddy's Run which enters Hoover's Run at the location of the Thomas Hoy home on the outskirts of Brave.

Albert Edward Milton was born on Decenber 16, 1880 to George Henry and Elizabeth Jane Forsyth Milton in Maywood Township, Benton County, Minnesota. Albert had 10 brothers and sisters and was raised on the family farm just north of Foley, Minnesota. When he was 15 years old, his father George died and Albert and his older brothers William and George worked their mothers farm to support the family. During the summer the brothers would work the farm and in the winter they worked in the "Big Woods" in the Mille Lacs Lake area. On October 12, 1907, Albert married Bertha Marie Eddy in St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota. To this union three children were born, Bruce, Myron and little sister Garnet.
In 1909, Albert, his wife Bertha and baby Bruce traveled by train to the state of Washington to work in the woods. Prior to Myrons birth in October 1910, the family returned to Minnesota to live. Life was not easy, and Albert worked out as a laborer on local farms in the Ronneby, Minnesota area to earn a living. In 1914, the family owned a small 36 acre farm in Section 2 of Maywood Township in Benton County. In the 1920 federal census the Bert Milton family was living in Ronneby and Bert was listed as a farm laborer.
In 1921 the family moved to the Mille Lacs Lake area and rented a small house in Section 18 of South Harbor Township where Albert continued to farm and worked out on the William Benzie farm. During the winter of 1924/25, Albert became very ill with a respiratory problem and traveled to Foley, Minnesota to doctor and stay with his mother Jennie Milton and his in-laws, Myron and
Clare Eddy. His conditioned worsened and on April 17, 1925 he died, leaving his young family "up in the woods" to fend for themselves. Bruce and Myron worked a small farm that their mother bought in Bradbury Township and worked out in the woods, cutting fire wood to sell to the local creamery and high school. (Bruce S.

Bertha Eddy was born at Bailey's Corner, Big Lake Twp., Sherburne Co., Minnesota on April 25, 1889. In 1896 the Eddy family moved to Sauk Rapids, Minnesota where Myron Eddy had accepted the job as a rural mail carrier in Benton County. In 1902 the family moved to Ronneby, Minnesota where they engaged in the hotel business. In 1905 the family moved to a farm north of Ronneby and engaged in farming for the next three years.
In October 12, 1907, Bertha married Albert Milton in St. Cloud, Minnesota. In 1909 Bertha, Albert and son Bruce traveled by train to the state of Washington where Albert worked in the woods. In 1910, the family returned to Ronneby where Albert worked as a farm laborer and Bertha was a housewife raising her two small boys. In the 1914 land survey plat map of Benton Co., it indicates that Albert Milton owned a 36 acre farm in section two of Maywood Township. In the 1920 Census, the Bert Milton Family was living in Ronneby and Bert's occupation was listed as a farm laborer.
In 1921 the family moved to the Mille Lacs Lake area where they resided on a small farm in South Harbor Township. In 1925, Bert died and Bertha was left with her three children, Bruce 16 years old, Myron 14 years old and little sister Garnet 6 years old. At this time Bertha bought and moved to a farm in Bradbury Township near Onamia, Minnesota where the boys did the farming and worked in the woods.
In 1932, not being able to keep up with the payments on the farm, Bertha sold the farm and she and Garnet moved to Foley, Minnesota to live at her parents home place. In the early 1940's, she moved to Sheldon, Washington where she lived with Garnet and Harry Floreck until she died on April 19, 1952. (Bruce S. Milton Research)

Bruce Edward Milton was born on June 11, 1908 to Albert Edward and Bertha Marie Eddy Milton in Ronneby, Minnesota. Bruce was the eldest of three children and when he was a year old, the family moved to the state of Washington where Albert worked in the woods as a logger. Just prior to the birth of their son Myron, the family moved back to the Ronneby area where Albert again engaged in farming. In 1914, the family owned a small 36 acre farm in Section 2 of Maywood Township in Benton County. Albert worked this small farm and also worked out for other farmers in the area as a laborer.
In 1921 the family moved to Mille Lacs County and rented a small home in Section 18 of South Harbor Township. Albert continued to farm and also worked out on the William Benzie farm which was also located in South Harbor Township. During the winter of 1924\25, Albert became very ill with a lung respiratory problem and traveled to Foley, Minnesota to doctor and stay with his mother, Jennie Milton and his in-laws, Myron and Clara Eddy. His condition worsened and on April 17, 1925 he died, leaving his young family "up in the woods" to fend for themselves. Bruce, being the oldest child, then had the responsibility to support the family. He went to work for Houlton Benzie, doing farm chores on his farm which was located in South Harbor Township. In 1926, Bertha Milton and her family moved to a small farm located in Section 4 of Bradbury Township in Mille Lacs County and the family lived there until 1932. Shortly after Albert died, Bruce's uncle Joseph Wruck sent him to barber school in Minneapolis, Minnesota and give him a barbering job in his general store in Ronneby when he completed his schooling. Bruce didn't care for the barbering business and went back to farming with his immediate family.
While living on the Bradbury Township farm, Bruce met Bertha Strang, his future wife and the daughter of William Strang who lived in Section 11 of the same township. Bruce and Bertha were married on May 18, l931 at the Holy Cross Catholic Church in Onamia, Minnesota. The couple lived in South Harbor Township where they farmed on the Houlton Benzie farm and Bruce also worked as a Special Deputy Sheriff for dances at Shore Acres and other local dance halls. In 1933 they moved to Onamia where they have since resided. Bruce was Chief of Police of the Village of Onamia and a Special Deputy Sheriff of Mille Lacs County from 1935 to 1942.
In 1942, Bruce traveled to Canada and Alaska and did carpentry construction work on the Alcan Highway project. In March 1943 to December 1945 he served in the Army Air Corps as a gunnery instructor at Lowry Airforce Base, Denver, Colorado and later was assigned as a military policeman at Tyndol Air Force Base in Florida.
Upon returning from the service, he was again employed by the Village of Onamia until he was elected Sheriff of Mille Lacs County in January 1946. He served as Sheriff of Mille Lacs County until December 1962. During the next ten years he did contract carpentry work in the Minneapolis and Onamia area retiring in 1972. During the next 12 years he assisted his wife Bertha at the Milton Rest Home in Onamia. Bruce and Bertha lived in Onamia most of their lives and raised a fine family of four children.
Mr. Milton died on October 27, 1984 at the Onamia Community Mercy Hospital at the age of 76. He was a well respected gentleman in the community and certainly is missed by those whom he had come in contact with during his many years of community service. (Bruce S. Milton Research)

Myron Johnathon Eddy was born on March 27, 1856 in London Township, Monroe County, Michigan. Myron was the eldest child of Orrin and Asenath Walworth Eddy. In 1964, Orrin moved his family to Amherst Township, Fillmore County, Minnesota where his brother Ethan Eddy had settled on a homestead in 1853 and was one of the founders of this township. Orrin farmed in Fillmore County and worked at his brothers saw mill until he moved his family to Delavan Township near Bass Lake in Faribault County about 1869. Orrin died in Delevan, Minnesota on March 7, 1882 and is buried in the Bass Lake cemetery next to the Bass Lake community church.
After the death of her husband, Asenath and her family moved to the vicinity of Elk River, Sherburne County, Minnesota. In the Minnesota State cenus records for 1885 it shows Asenath and her family living with the Sprague Brown family in Elk River. Hulda, Myron's only sister was married to Sprague Brown. In 1887, Myron married Clara Fadden in Cold Springs, Stearns County, Minnesota who was the eldest daughter of Arron and Marcina Reynolds Fadden. The family apparently made their home near Bailey's Corner in Sherburne County as all four of their children were born there. In 1896 the family moved to Sauk Rapids, Benton Co., Minnesota where Myron had accepted the position as a rural mail carrier. At this time the village of Sauk Rapids was at the end of the railroad and was the largest town in this section of the county, with the city of St. Cloud just getting started.
Myron accepted the position of carrying mail to the residents in the rural districts of Benton County and with his team made the trip to Ronneby and south of there along the old coach road twice a week. He held this mail carrying job with the exception of a few months for the next eight years. Seeing possibilities in the hotel business in Ronneby, he moved his family there in 1902 and for the next three years he ran the Ronneby Hotel. At this time Foley was merely a logging camp run by the Foley Bros. who were logging off Benton County. He then moved onto a farm north of Ronneby with his family and for three years he took up farming. In 1908, due to failing health, he moved to Foley where he resided until he died on April 1, 1929 from a heart problem.
Myron was a member of the St. Francis Camp 11 of the Modern Woodsmen Association at Ronneby for 32 years. During this time he held all the offices in the camp, a number of them many times. Myron's childen were Mrs. Joe Wruck (Alice) who lived in Oak Park, Minnesota; Mrs. Albert Milton (Bertha) of Onamia, Minnesota; Mrs. Alpha Vaillancourt (Dora) of Oak Park, Minnesota and his son Clarence Eddy of Foley, Minnesota.

[For Steph.ged]

!A small genealogy is necessary to understand Temperance's forebares. This is
because her mother, Elizabeth, had Temperance and three other children,
Rebecca, Ann, and Jacob K. Straight, by Temperance's great uncle Jacob
Straight. Jacob Straight was the brother to Peter Straight which was the
father of Elizabeth. Therefore, Elizabeth's children's father, Jacob Straight,
was also their great uncle, and also, the uncle to Elizabeth Straight.

!The 1850 Census shows the following:

!Samuel Eddy (age) 52, Temperance (Straight) Eddy (age) 63. Therefore, if you
calculate the births of Temperance and Samuel from this Census, Samuel Eddy
would have been born in 1798 and Temperance would have had to be born sometime
in late 1786 because she was born before the Indian Massacre of 1786 (See the
account of the Indian Massacre in her mother's notes, and also, in her
step-father, William Kennedy's notes).

!According to the Kennedy History of the Indian Massacre it stated that Rebecca
was (age 9) and Temperance (was calculated to be age 7) when the Massacre took
place. Later in the Kennedy History it is stated that Ann's Tombstone gives
her date of death as 9 Aug 1834, and lists her age as 50 years old when Ann
died. Ann's calculated birth would have been 9 Aug 1784. Therefore, according
the the 1850 Census and Ann's Tombstone, at the time of the Indian Massacre,
Ann would have been about 2 years old and Temperance would have been a baby of
only a few months in the story.

!However, most histories state that it was Ann who was the baby.
Unfortunately, we only have the 1850 Census at this time bo determine
Temperance's birth. If she was 7 at the Indian Massacre, she would have had to
be born about 1779 which would have made her 70 in the 1850 census rather than
63 and this would have made her 18 years older than her husband Samuel rather
than 11 years older.

!THE KENNEDY RECORD OF THE 1786 INDIAN MASSACRE:

!A dramatic even (the Indian attach) took place at Straight's Run in Oct. 1786.

!Straight's Run, located 1 mile north of present day Barrackville, W. Va., was
an indian path. The pioneers used these roads also, as primitive as they
ere....most generally larger than a game trail, but as the early settlements
grew up on these pathways they were the direct route of access. The indian's
were very familiar with this area and in winter and fall camped on the hill
over looking the Straight's Run valley. This camping area was called Fort Hill
because of its easy defense; it was used to process the game killed prior to
it's shipment to the indian's towns in the Ohio area. The indian's who died on
these hunting journeys were buried on Fort Hill.

!The indians had been pushed westward against their will, almost all treaties
had been broken and the Shawnee Nation was grouping for a great offensive
action against the whites. The tribes were massing in the Wabash River area
and many raiding parties had been sent to steal horses prior to the expected
battle. The Ohio Shawnee were led by Chief Blue Jacket; a white man from
Virginia named Marmaduke Van Sweringen who had joined the tribe when he was 15
years old. The indians were frantic, river travel was very hazardous and on
land raiding parties were frequent. The British at Detroit were helping arm
the indians by paying a bounty of 50 to 100 pounds sterling for white scalps in
prime condition.

!One such raiding party descended on the Straight's Run settlers on Oct. 6th,
1786. While most of the men were out hunting, or helping a neighbor, (Glenn
Lough says the men were clearing land at Asa Hall's at Bellview) the settlers
staying at the Straight's Run cabins were Jacob and Elizabeth Straight and
children Nicholas Woods at Jacob Straight's cabin. In a cabin near the
property line, where Elizabeth (Straight) Dragoo and her children, she was a
sister to Jacob Strait. As the time's dictated, when most of the men were away
the early settlers would gather in their cabins as a refuge against danger.

!Mrs. Dragoo had taken her children to the garden to pick fodder beans. (These
were planted after the corn grew.) So Mrs (Elizabeth Straight) Dragoo was in
the corn field, with her children William and a baby, when the indians captured
them.

!When she did not return, Jacob Straight and Nicholas Woods came to the garden
to investigate her prolonged absence. Upon approaching the garden they were
fired upon and Nicholas Woods fell, dying instantly.

!Elizabeth (Straight, Jacob's wife), who out of curiosity, had followed the ment
to the crest of a small rise which sheltered the cabin from the wind, fled for
her life when she heard the shots. Upon reaching the cabin, she picked up her
small daughter Ann and raced southward toward the creek. The other girls,
Rebecca (age 9) and Temperance (age 7ca) tried to keep up, with their mother,
as she raced along the woodland trail. One girl fell in a brier patch and was
undetected, while the other hid under some fallen trees.

!Elizabeth had run 3/10 of a mile with the child in her arms when she came to
the rocky ledge area of the creek. Exhausted, she scrambled under a shelving
rock ledge below the path.

!In a few very short minutes, Jacob came running down the same path. He had
been behind them about 150 yds, and was trying to lead the indians away from
where he thought his family was hiding. The indians caught him a short
distance past the spot where Elizabeth layed and concealed with her baby (The
Straight account says she stuffed a hankerchief or rag into its mouth to keep
her from crying). It is said that Elizabeth heard him bargain for his life
when he was overtaken, and heard the tommahawk blow that killed him. I'm sure
she gave the returning hunters her account of the massacre.

!"John Dragoo (by the account given by Jaj. Harding to the Pittsburg Gazette Aug
to Dec 1786) had escaped himself, being in a field pulling beans and hearing
screams of the children; his wife was killed, also Jacob Shoyler's (Straight)
family was killed or taken, not any escaped.....Mr. Dragoo who saw the savages
thinks there were about 15"

!Monument:

!INDIAN MASSACRE

!Here nicholas Wood and Jacob Straight were killed and Mrs. Elizabeth Dragoo
captured during Indian raid in 1786. Mrs. Straight and daughter made their
excape from the Indians by hiding under sheltering rocks near by.

!TEMPERANCE STRAIGHT:

!The history written by James E. Kennedy gives no dates pretaining to Temperance
and her husband James Mayfield. Most of the early Mayfields had settled near
the Cheat River and moved toward the Dellslow-Sabraton area, James may have
been some of these people. (There is an early Mayfield cemetery in Sabration.)

!The records for Monongalia County have little information; the burning of the
courthouse records in 1797 may account for this.

!James Mayfield is living in the Hagans area in the 1830's and appears at the
estate sale of William Kennedy in 1834. He buys one Clevis for 50 cts; 2 old
chairs for 64 cts and 4 head of hogs for the sum of $2.41.

!It has been mentioned in other accounts that they moved to the Whetzel County
area with Jasper Straight in the 1820's. I believe they moved Later. Land
records for Whetzel County show a parcel of 150 acres sold by Isaac Hog on 19
July 1856 to a James Mayfield, but I believe this is most likely a son because
of the date of the deed.

!On June 13, 1834, James Mayfield, Temperance's first husband bought One Clevis
for .50 cents, Four head hoges 2.41 and Two old chairs at William
Kennedy's Estate Sale at William's death. We also see Samuel Eddy,
Temperance's second husband at the same sale. Samuel bought One pair of Horse
geers for .95 cents and one pitchfork for .28 cents. (See William Kennedy Jr.'s
notes for -compleat Bill Sale.)

!It is very obvious that all of these people knew each other.

!Temperance, the other girl connected with the Indian Massacre married James
Mayfield:James and Temperance moved to Whetzel County, West Virginia. their
son married Elizabeth Thorn, widow of Archbald Thorn. She was a daughter of
George Wilson. (cousins).

-----------------

!Straight Genealogy:

!Temperance b. abt 1780 m. James Mayfield - no record found. They supposedly
relocated to Whetzel Co. (See W. VA. Heritage Encycl Suppl Vol I, "Hardesty" p.
198 - Tyler Co. refers to a Samuel Mayfield MO b. 1834 in Monongalia Co and son
of James & Permelia (Straight) Mayfield. It gives the year 1855 as the year
James Mayfield and his family settled in Whetzel Co. This may be a different
Mayfield.)

!Dear Mrs. Vines,

1I was given your address by David Kennedy of Fairmont, WV. I, also, have
corresponded with Mary Virginia Sprouse of Clarksburg, WV.

Samuel and Temperance (Straight) Eddy

my husband - Edward H. Dent

!In David Kennedy's material he indicates that Temperance Straight married James
Mayfield. Our family has no knowledge of this marriage. I corresponded with
David about the source of this information but he just states it as fact. I
find only the record of James and Parmelia (Straight) Mayfield. I don't know
to which Straight family she belonged, but I'm sure she was closely related.
She had daughters, Temperance and Ann, and a son, Samuel. In the 1840 census,
they were listed next to the Jacob K. Straight family whose wife was Permelia
(Shuman). I wonder if there is a connection between the Permelias.

!Temperance Straight was married to Samuel Eddy by 1820 (we believe ca 1818) in
Monongalia Co. Our g-g-grandfather, George W. Eddy, was born there in May
1824. At the estate sale of William Kennedy in 1834, Samuel Eddy and James
Mayfield were both in attendance. By 1836, Samuel and Temperance were living
in Monroe Co. OH. Temperance died after the 1850 census and before 1855 when
the family moved to Iowa. She is buried in the West Union Church Cemetery in
Monroe Co. OH near Antioch. I am enclosing a copy of George W. Eddy's second
marriage record. Not that he listed his mother as Temperancy Kennedy. She has
a son, Jefferson Straight, and possibly two daughters (?) before she was
married. We looked at Jefferson's death record in Monroe Co. OH and his parent
is listed as Tempie Straight. He was born in 1806. In 1850, an Elizabeth
Straight, age 45, was living with Samuel and Temperance, possibly a daughter of
Temperance (?). I'm wondering about Permelia, also - no documentation on
either of them.

!I wrote to the Wetzel Co. Genealogical Society and received information about
James Mayfield's grave. (see enclosed)

!We have found no record of Jacob Straight having a brother, Peter. We don't
know the source of this information. We have copies of DAR charts for Riter
Nicholas Straight and Effie Wilson which show that Elizabeth, wife of Jacob
Straight, Jr. was a Dragoo. This agrees with information from Mary Virginia
Sprouse.

!We don't know the parentage of Samuel Eddy. We feel sure that Gawen Eddy was
his grandfather but don't know which of Gawen's sons was Samuel's father.

!My sister, Lea Maupin, and I have been working on our family history for about
three years and have become completely addicted to it. A year and a half ago,
we made a trip to WV and visited Fairmont and Morgantown. We drove down
Straight's Run. That was quite and experience for us. We hope to get back to
that area some day.

!We would appreciate very much if you could share any additional information or
correct any misinformation we may have. I am enclosing material that may make
my letter a little clearer.

!Sincerely,

!Jean

!Isaac Eddy may have been the first Eddy in Greene County as he appears in the
following early census records and tax lists. In 1790 he was listed in the
Federal Census as in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1808 he was taxed in
Wayne Township and censured in the same township in 1810 and 1820. The index
to the original patents for Green County (Volume iii of the Horn Papers) does
not show an Isaac Eddy.

!He most likely lived on what is now known as Eddy's Run which enters Hoover's
Run at the location of the Thomas Hoy home on the outskirts of Brave. The 1876
Atlas of Green County by Caldwell (page 95) shows that 434 acres were owned by
individuals with the name Eddy.

!Records of Marion Co., W. Va. list the following tracts of land owned
Alexander's children and other relatives such as his brother to Issac Eddy and

Dear Sister Coleman:

This is our first report about searches done your behalf. The enclosed
pedigree chart shows what thus far has been found. Your Grandfather, Johann
Christiaan Mann, was born in Amsterdam. He married in Groningen (1868) to
Siebrigie Siedses. Children born in this city are:

1. Aafke - 6 April 1875
2. Christiaan John - 3 May 1877
3. Elsina - 22 Jan 1879
4. Lolkje Elizabeth - 4 Dec. 1880 ( died 2 Feb 1882)
5. Carel Willem Hendrik 14 Sept. 1883

This Family moved 7 July 1885 to the city of Haailem.

Your great grandfather was born in Corbach in Germany. He married in 1834
in Amsterdam. Elzina Lubbers, also born in Germany (Ostrum). Five brothers
"Mann" immigrated from Germany to Amsterdam, married there and had children.
Four of them were breadbakers and fifth was a groceryman. They lived in the
centre of the city.

Further research on all lines is promising, but the next step will be to see
what happened to the Amsterdam family and those who moved to Haarlem. What is
known about your mother? Did she emigrate? Is she still alive? What do you
know about your uncles and aunt?

Hoping to hear from you and with our regards.

Sincerely,

MRS. MABEL EDDY SIMMONS
MABEL EDDY
EUREKA HERALD
DIES

Mable May, daughter of Richard and Sarah Elden Eddy, was born October 17, 1875, at Albia, Iowa, and departed this life at her home in Severy, Kansas, Thursday, December 28, 1939, at the age, 64 years, 2 months and 11 days.

The Eddy family moved to Gardner, Kansas, when Mabel was a small child. She attended the public schools there. Later the family moved to Topeka where she attended the medical institution at Topeka.

Mabel Eddy became a member of the First Methodist church at Topeka when a young woman, and after moving to Severy she united with the Salem Free Baptist church at Paw Paw, remaining a faithful member and an active worker as long as her health permitted.

Mabel Eddy was united in marriage to Robert T. Simmons of Wellsville, Kansas, May 14, 1903, at Topeka. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, of whom all survive. Eddy of Hutchinson, Kansas, Joe of Piedmont, Russell of Severy, Mrs. Walter McLean of Piedmont, Mrs John Seimears of Sun City, Kansas, and Mrs. Clinton Barrier of Eureka.

Mrs. Simmons devoted her life to her home and family, helping the sick and those in need of help in her community--in which she had lived for the last thirty years.

She is survived by a devoted husband and six loving children. Of her fifteen granchildren two have preceded her to the Great Beyond. She also leaves many loving friends and kind neighbors who mourn her going.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at Severy, Saturday, December 30, conducted by the Rev. Wm. C. Hartford who read the beautiful poem "Crossing the Bar." Nellie Morss and Hattie Baughman of Howard, sang "Going Down the Valley" and "Only Mother".

Interment was in the Severy cemetery. (Error, should read Crisco Cemetery, Elk County)
