Mt. Vernon (Illinois) Register, August 21, 1895

 

        Philo Gilbert and wife have been married half a century.  Philo was born June 14, 1821 in Decatur, Washington Co., Ohio and in 1839 with his parents moved to this county.  They settled in Knob Prairie, bring with them from Ohio the lumber which was used to build their first home.  He was the eighth child of a family of seventeen.  His parents came from New Hampshire to Ohio and then to Illinois.  On August 15, 1845, he married Mrs. Harriet Taylor, a sister of Washington Quinn,  of Elk Prairie.  For several weeks the family had been planning a celebration and until a few hours before noon, the couple had no knowledge of the plans.  There were 50-60 people at the celebration, friends and family members.

______________________________________________________________

 

Mt. Vernon Register, June 17, 1899

 

        After a lingering illness, Uncle Philo Gilbert passed peacefully away at his home, corner of Broadway and First Streets, at 5 o'clock this morning, his vitality having exhausted by the long drain upon his condition by a malignant attack of locomotor ataxia, complicated by other troubles.  Few men have lived longer in the county, or were better known than Mr. Gilbert, and his death removes a conspicuous pioneer and highly estimable citizen.  He was born of sturdy New England stock in Washington County, Ohio, June 14, 1821, consequently was but a few days more than 78 years of age.  His father, Eli Gilbert, emigrated from the ancestral home in Vermont to Ohio in 1818, where he resided till the autumn of 1839, when he removed with his family to Jefferson county, Illinois and settled in Knob Prairie.  The elder Gilbert was the father of fifteen sons and two daughters, twelve of whom came to this county with their parents, arriving here fifty-eight years ago on the 25th of last October, the others coming here at a subsequent date.  The subject of this sketch was married to Mrs. Harriet Taylor, August 15, 1845, from which three children were born.  Two sons and one daughter were born, one of which, Philo Menzes Gilbert, died in infancy.  Of the remaining children, James E. Gilbert died in 1889, leaving the daughter, Mrs. Susan C. Wells, who resides in this city, as the sole survivor.  Deceased was a prosperous and progressive farmer, first near the old homestead in Knob Prairie and afterwards in Wolf Prairie.  He continued to reside upon the farm and direct its affairs till 1880 when he retired from active business and came to Mt. Vernon.  He was a member of the Universalist Church. 

 

        When Mr. Gilbert came to Illinois, this part of the state was largely a wilderness, there being but a sparse population.  It was in this county in 1840 that Mr. Gilbert cast his first vote for president of the United States.  Although only 19 years of age, he voted for Henry Harrison.  It was not unusual for boys to vote in the early days and Mr. Gilbert and his brother, Cyrus, two years his junior, were permitted to vote through the laxity of the judges of the election.

 

        Of the fourteen brothers and two sisters who came to Illinois with Eli Gilbert in 1830, all are dead except Ira, Cyrus, Alvin and Raynor Gilbert and Mrs. Lois Isom of Grove Springs, Wright County, Missouri.

 

        The funeral cortege will leave the late residence of the deceased on West Broadway at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for Salem Church, where the obsequies will be conducted by Reb. John Hughes of Table Grove, Ill., assisted by Pastor Minor of the local Universalist congregation.  The interment will be at Salem Cemetery.  Friends of the family invited.

        10.  Cyrus B.2 Gilbert (Eli1) was born June 23, 1823 in Washington County, Ohio, and died November 06, 1902 in Jefferson County, Illinois.  He married Eliza J. McLendon November 25, 1849 in Jefferson County, Illinois.  She was born July 01, 1827, and died August 17, 1889 in Jefferson County, Illinois.

 

Notes for Cyrus B. Gilbert:

The Mt. Vernon (Illinois) Register, November 6, 1902

 

        Another old pioneer has passed to that undiscovered county.  CYRUS GILBERT died of apoplexy at his home in Waltonville at 3 o'clock this morning.

 

        He was born in Washington County, Ohio in 1823, son of Eli Gilbert who settled in the southwest part of this county in 1839 and brought with him from Ohio the lumber with which to erect his residence.  Cyrus came with his father and has since resided in this county.

 

        In early manhood he was married to Eliza J. McClendon, who has been dead for some years.  Of a number of children born to them, one son and three daughters survive, Stephen, residing in Oklahoma; Mrs. Henry Forman of Waltonville, Mrs. Chas. Brown of near Bluford, and Mrs. Will Maddox of St. Louis.  He also leaves two brothers and a sister; M. R. of this city, Alvin of Waltonville, and Mrs. Lois Isom of Grove Springs, Mo.  Five or six years ago, he married Mrs. Ben Hirons, who still survives.  Mr. Gilbert, as are all of his name, was always reckoned among the county's best citizens.  He was a man in whom his neighbors had implicit confidence and was frequently honored by them in places of trust.  He was acting as Justice of the Peace at the time of his death.  He was for many years an influential member of the Universalist Church and politically was an unwavering Republican.

 

        The funeral will probably occur Saturday, but the exact time has not been determine.

John Gilbert, age, 40, born in VA....father not listed, with wife, Abigail McLaughlin, and children, Mary S., Emily C. and John L.  However, obviously John is not Eli.  John would have been born around 1810. I cannot place this individual.  There must have been 2 Abigail McLaughlins who married into the Gilbert families.

Obituary of George Newell, October 25, 1922

 

GEORGE NEWELL - son of Asa and Elinor Newell, was born in Jefferson County, Illinois, on april 15, 1841 died at home two miles north of Waltonville, October 25, 1922, aged 81 years, 6 months and 10 days.

 

        He was born one of a family of seven children:  Levi, Lucy, Oscar, Ichabod, Phillip and Douglas.  All but Phillip having preceeded him in death, Douglas having died in May, 1922 and Oscar died on October 18, 1922, just one week ago.  On December 21, 1864, he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Gilbert, daughter of Stephen and Sarah Gilbert.  To this union  nine children were born, Asa, Laura (widow of C.S. Lemon): Mina, (wife of D. S. Fairchild): Norman, Minnie (wife of A. G. Taylor); John, Earl, Margaret and Lorin, the latter two having preceded him in death many years ago.  On June 26, 1888, death claimed his wife and left him the care of his small children until March 30, 1893, he was united in marriage with Miss Henrietta Fred, daughter of Willia and Sarah Fred.  To this union, three children were born, one having died in infancy, Oscar and Miss Myrtle at home.  He leaves besides his wife, one brother and nine children, twenty-five grandchildren and fifteen great-granchildren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

 

        In early life he was united with the Universalist Church at Old Williamsburg and had always lived a devoted Christian, always ready to lend a helping hand to the needy.  "Uncle" George as he was familiarly known, wished he might get well, but realizing his time was short expressed his willingness to go.

 

        At the age of 20, on July 1, 1861, he volunteered in Co. F., 44th Illinois Infantry and served his country well and faithfully for three years, when on Septeber 15, 1864, he was honorably discharged from service at Atlanta, Ga.  He lay sick for several months in the hospital and fought afterwards at Chattanooga, Chicamuga and Atlanta and other severe engagements.  Just 57 years to the date of his discharge, his two youngest sons, Earl and Oscar, left for the training camp during the World War.  He was ever a devoted husband and father.

 

        All his long and useful life was spent in Jefferson County, one half mile from his old home where he was born.  His earthly home was an idea one where peace and happiness reigned.

 

        Funeral was held at the home of  1 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, Oct. 27, 1922, by Rev. G. A. Phelp of Chester, Illinois and the body was laid to rest in the Gilbert cemetery under many beautiful flowers.  Maude Newell Place and Claude Newell were twins who remained very close all their lives. Maude Newell married Frank Place, and they named their oldest son, Claude.  Oddly, enough, Maude's brother and her son she named after her brother died on the same day.

Notes for John David Dodds:

The Mt. Vernon (Illinois) Register, Thursday, December 5, 1935

 

JOHN DAVID DODDS, coroner of Jefferson county and one of its best known residents, died at his home, 216 South Twelfth Street, at 11:30 o'clock last night.  He had been in impaired health for several years and his condition had been critical since last Saturday, November 30.  His age was 79 years, 1 month and 18 days.  Funeral services will be held at the Universalist church in Waltonville at two o'clock Friday afternoon with Elder D. E. Baker officiating.  Interment will be made in Knob Prairie Cemetery.  Born on a farm near Waltonville on October 16, 1836, Mr. Dodds was a son of John and Emeline Keller Dodds, one of the old families of Jefferson County.  He engaged in farming for a number of years and later moved to Mt. Vernon engaging in the real estate business.  On February 11, 1880, he was united in marriage with Olive L. Gilbert at the home of her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Gilbert of Waltonville.  On the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary, February 11, 1930, the Register News published an account of Mr. and Mrs. Dodds' wedded life, showing that the entire period had been spent in Jefferson County.  During much of the time they made their home in Mt. Vernon and at other times resided on their farm.  They lived in Mt. Vernon in 1887 when the town was swept by the great cyclone and their home was among the many razed in that disaster.

 

        An unusual feature of the observance was that Mrs. Dodds' parents and grandparents lived to celebrate their golden wedding anniversaries.  Had Mr. Dodds lived to February 11, 1936, he and Mrs. Dodds would have been married 56 years.  Mr. and Mrs. Dodds were an unusually devoted couple and their long married life was characterized by happiness.  Always actively affiliated with the Democratic Party, Mr. Dodds was elected coroner with a large plurality in the landslide of 1932.  He made an active campaign despite his age and his personal popularity was attested by his success.  He conducted the affairs of his office in a thorough and efficient manner, holding inquests in many deaths.  Troubled by his failing health at times, he occasionally delegated a part of the work to assistants, but at all times he fulfilled the major duties of the position.

 

        Mr. Dodds was a man of excellent business judgment, honest and upright in his dealings with his fellow men, and in a long and busy life left only friends.  He never entertained feelings of ill will against anyone and his frank, open manner, his sterling traits of character won for him the respect of all, and the affection of those who knew him best.  He is survived by his wife, five daughters, one son, a sister and a brother.  The daughters are Mrs. Myrtle E. Norris of Waltonville, Mrs. Charles J. Thompson of Mt. Vernon, Mrs. Ruby Hirons of St. Louis, MO., Mr. H. E. Mannen of Mt. Vernon and Mrs. Frank E. Reed of Sandoval, Illinois.  The son is Wilburn Dodds of Denver, Colorado.  The brother is W. N. Dodds of Mt. Vernon and the sister is Mrs. Susan Hirons of Waltonville.  The body will lie in state at the Myers Chapel, 122 North Tenth Street, until shortly before the funeral hour.

Notes for Stephen Asa Newell:

Obituary  - STEPHEN ASA NEWELL - December 31, 1935, The Mt. Vernon Register

       

        The hand of sorrow has again been laid upon us and that unwelcome guest death came upon us suddenly when it summoned Stephen Asa Newell who  has passed serenely into the Kingdom above while helping a neighbor thrash.  He was unable to walk away and sat down when he suddenly collapsed, from whence he never regained consciousness.  Asa Newell was the eldest son of George and Sarah Gilbert Newell, early settlers of Blissville Twp.

 

        He was born January 15, 1865 on the farm  where he grew to manhood.  His boyhood and early life was passed in his native county where he learned many duties incident to far life and it may truly be said of him that whatsoever success he achieved in life, was due to his good judgment.  He was married to Huldah South  August 31, 1887 and in this union were born these children:  Mrs. Orvall Mannen, Mrs. Frankie VanNelson and Harry Newell, all of Waltonville.

 

        Besides his life companion and the above named children, the following named sisters and brothers:  Mrs. Chas. Lemons, Mrs. Roy Freeman of Scheller, Illinois; Mrs. Mina Fairchild of Woodlawn; Mrs. Gifford Taylor, John Everett Newell; Earl Newell of Waltonville; Norman Newell of Mt. Vernon; Oscar Newell of Waltonville, Illinois and four grandchildren and one great-grandchild are left to mourn his sudden demise.

 

        The place where a person of strong individuality has made is not easily filled.  We love our friends for what they mean to us in our relationship to them.  Mr. Newell was a man of many virtues, absolutely unselfish, freely making any sacrifice that might benefit his loved ones.  His kindly nature, his consideration for the welfare of those around him endeared him, in all who knew him.  It can truly be said of Asa Newell, that he was a man among men, he thought not of self, but lived his life for others, his impress for good will be remembered for his life of unselfish devotion to others.  His death comes as a great shock, not only to his own immediate family, but to the many friends of middle life who knew and loved him when he was their father, neighbor and friend.  His life will prove an inspiration to his children and his friends will ever cherish this memory.

 

        Only pleasant memories will stir their hearts while tears dim their eyes and they dwell in loving remembrance of years suddenly ended in death.  We bow in a great sorrow and bring the choicest tribute of affection that our words can express.  With great faith in God, we simply said Farewell until we come into the morning of mornings of that great Sabbath Day of rest.  Mr. Newell was a member of the IOOF Lodge of Waltonville for twenty-five years.  His age was 70 years and 10 days.

 

        The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. A. Phelps of Makanda, Illinois at the Methodist Church in Waltonville, Illinois, Thursday, January 2, 1935 at 2 p.m.  Interment was at Knob Prairie Cemetery.
