1	"Early in the war of the Revolution her husband was summond to the service of his country. During his absence she supported her family by spinning and weaving by hand and selling the products of her toil at Portland, fourteen miles distant from her home, whither she carried them over frightful roads on horseback, returning with a fresh supply of raw material for the wheel and loom. While Mrs. Irish was a woman of the heroic type, she possessed the kindlier instincts of her sex. In a year of unusual scarcity of food (1780), although her own larder was not overstocked, she put her children on allowance, that she might relive the hunger of her neighbors' children." The Sketches of Gen James Irish of Gorham, ME 1776-1863 by Lyndon Oak	Phinney, Mary Gorham (I786)
2	11/21/2013 - The following information was added by a visitor, Mary Toluchanian: "The original, handwritten vital records of Gorham, Cumberland Co., Maine (LDS Family History Library microfilm No. 0010928), page 53, record the birth date of Ebenezer Irish (son of James Irish and Mary Gorham Phinney) as "5th April 1764," rather than 1763. Hugh D. McLellan's 1903 History of Gorham, Me., page 584, has propagated an incorrect year of birth (1763) and the wrong day of death (07 Jan 1851 instead of the 22 Jan 1851 date which you correctly show as recorded in the cemetery records). Mr. McLellan also gives the date of Ebenezer's and Martha's marriage intentions (01 Jan 1785) as the actual date of marriage. The actual Gorham, Me., record on page 38 of the same microfilm reads: "Jany.1st.1785 / Ebenezer Irish Enter,d his name & purpofe of marriage, with Martha Morton (both of Gorham) --Attst-- Austin Alden } Town Cler" ("k" omitted at end)."	Irish, Ebenezer (I1775)

Re-enlisted 8 Feb. 1864 32nd Maine Infantry company B, transferred 31st Maine Infantry company B. 5'11" blue eyes dark hair & complexion. Member GAR Post 3126, ept. Maine."	Irish, Stephen (I1837)

He married Hannah Doane in 1753. His family had all grown up prior to his settling in Bucktown. His lot, which adjoined the Turner town line, he sold to his son, Ebenezer Irish, in 1802. There is no mention of his name on the census list of 1800. We find under the record of the offspring of Ebenezer Irish and his wife, Bathsheba, this entry: 'Mr. Joseph Irish, died April 14, 1808.' His name disappeared from the tax lists of the town in 1801."	Irish, Joseph (I663)

He was the proprietor of a general store and on 12 Mar 1834 he was appointed Postmaster. The article notes that although he moved to Warsaw, Ill. later in life and died there during the cholera epidemic, Mr. Abernathy is buried in Augusta Cemetery. [The surname may also be spelled Abernathy]. According to the History of Hancock County (Board of Supervisors, 1968), both Joel Catlin and William Abernathy were from Harwinton, Conn. Married Evelina Hawley in 1833, daughter of Rufus Hawley and Betsey Richards, sister of Mrs. Joel Catlin.	Abernethy, William Dexter (I1713)

24	Beautiful Lady Beverly Mae Billings is my grandmother. She was and will always remain beautiful in my memories. She passed peacefully into Heaven on 5/5/12 with her family beside her after a long battle with leukemia. She fought gracefully for several years against a blood disease that had already taken her brother from her. In the duration of hospital visits, chemo, blood transfusions and medications she never lost her wonderful smile. Through all of this her family supported her and my grandfather stayed by her side through all of trips, confusion, and uncertainty of the medical issues that gradually weakened her body and mind. His strength and their faith in the Lord gave them the will to keep fighting. I will always remember her as a fighter, who never gave up. Even in the end she didn't quit she just followed the Lords angels home where she will wait for us to join her. If I have one memory of my grandmother that will stay with me forever and make me smile it is this: I had just started going out with Jonathan and we had visited my gram on a winter night that was snowing lightly. We had called before going to see them and made sure they were all set as we were going by a store and it had become a habit to always check with gram and gramp before we drove to see them. They were all set and we proceeded to go for a visit. On the way we made a detour and travelled a longer way than usual. My gram in all her joyous glory looked at us as we came in and I quote " don't you know its too cold to go parking this time of year." and winked lightly as only she can do. I was a little shocked and slightly embarassed but managed to joke back and ask how she knew to which she replied " well its the voice of experience Beverly." (She always called me Beverly unlike everyone else she never used my nickname.) She never lost the ability to joke around even when she was in pain or sick. I sat with my grandmother in the days before she passed and I know in my heart that the grandmother I loved was really not there. She was a shell of what she used to be and I think she was only holding on that last little bit because she knew Grandpa would not be making this journey with her. They had been through 65 yrs of trials, joys, 15 children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and even great great grandchildren. This was going to be the hardest thing they had ever done. I held her hand while she slept and said my goodbyes to an angel that was going home. She knew in her heart what was happening and she held it in I believe. In the last stages of her life she was forgetting things and people. And even through that, when she didn't recognize people who visited or things she did through the day she remembered exactly where and when she met my grandfather. She told me she used to take a bus once a month to a roller skating rink in Oxford and that is where she met LLoyd. Her life has inspired her family, and I have the honor of being named after her. I only hope I can live up to the reputation she has made. I am at peace with her passing. I know she is waiting for us to come home to Heaven and be with her, and when I see her she will be radiant and peaceful. I grieve for my grandfather because I know he is lost without her. I can only imagine all the things they have done in the last 80 yrs. Always in my heart Gram, I love you. Beverly	Fitts, Beverly May (I2971)

He returned to his home town to teach, for awhile, but at the age of twenty-one came to Boston and for seven years was associated with the Boston Ice Company, after which he established himself in the express business, in which he continued up to the time of his death. His was the first express to run between Faneuil Hall Market and the South End, and therefore was a Pioneer in Establishing a Line between Faneuil Hall Market and the South End.

29	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY 18th United States President, Civil War Union Lieutenant General. He was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio. His birth name was Hiram Ulysses Simpson Grant. At seventeen, he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. After graduation, his first assignment was service in a border war with Mexico. After eleven years he resigned his commission and persued a number of failed civilian endeavors. He answered the call for service during the Civil War, quickly rising to rank of Brigadier General. Victories at Fort Henry, Fort Doneson and Vicksburg earned him a second star. After raising the siege of Chattanooga, Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General and placed in command of all Union armies. The Army of the Potomac under General Grant finally forced Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to withdraw from Richmond the following spring and finally surrender on April 9, 1865. The following year Congress awarded a fourth star, making him the first full General of the Armies in American history. With his popularity at an all time high, he accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 1868. After serving two terms in the White House, Grant entered business on Wall Street in New York City. He lost all his money. To help support himself, he wrote magazine articles about his military life. He was ill. He displayed the first symptoms of Throat Cancer in the summer of 1884. The General always displayed an excessive use of tobacco. A cigar in his mouth was his trademark. On June 16, 1884, suffering from extreme discomfort from his cancer, it was decided to accept an offer from a wealthy friend to go to Mount McGregor, New York, a mineral springs resort and stay in a small cottage which he owned. Here he awaited death while writing a book about his life. He died here in the front room of the little cottage where he had been bedridden. An embalmer was summoned to prepare the remains. While deciding a burial place, his body was placed in a casket and left in the middle of the room where it was viewed by an estimated three hundred people over a period of weeks until a park on Riverside Drive was selected and a temporary vault was constructed. General Grants body was placed on a train and taken to New York City. On August 8th, his funeral procession stretched for seven miles through the streets of New York City to Riverside Park located on the Hudson River. President Grover Cleveland led some 60,000 marchers while a million people lined the route. Both union and Confederate generals acted as his pall bearers. Grants wife, Julia so devastated by his death was unable to attend the funeral. Contribution from around the nation raised enough money to construct the present day tomb. Finally on April 27, 1897, with Mrs. Grant present, it was dedicated after a parade witnessed by over a million people. Upon Mrs. Grants Death in 1902, she was interred beside her husband.	Grant, Hiram Ulysses (I1295)

After graduating Redfield College, she worked as a schoolteacher in Manchester, South Dakota. In 1901, she married Nathan William Dow. The couple had no children. After the death of their parents, her sister Mary briefly made a home with Grace before settling in with their sister Carrie. Although her family was immortalized in her sister Laura's ‘Little House' series of books, Grace remains little known. She was just eight years old when Laura left home to marry, and so she played a minor role only in the last books of the series. She apparently succumbed to diabetes complications at the age of 64 and was interred in the family plot in De Smet.	Ingalls, Grace Pearl (I2408)
41	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Folk and literary figure. Born the fifth of seven children of Henry and Charlotte Tucker Quiner in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

The family settled in Dakota Territory on Silver Lake outside what would become the town of De Smet, South Dakota. She and her husband had five children Mary, Laura, Carrie, Charles Frederick, and Grace. It was daughter Laura who immortalized her family in the popular ‘Little House' series of books. She died unexpectedly at her home after a short illness at age 84.	Quiner, Caroline Lake (I2401)

46	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY He was an early gold prospector who came to Keystone in the 1890s and staked out a placer claim along Grizzly Creek. There's still gold on his claim, where the Roosevelt Inn sits today. And some of Dave's old diggings can still be seen on the hill behind the property. . Perhaps Dave's greatest claim to fame happened when he named a rocky outcrop Mt. Rushmore after a New York City lawyer -- Charles Rushmore. Little did he know how famous that granite peak would become. In his later years, Dave married a reporter from the local newspaper named Carrie Ingalls who, as it turned out, became famous in her own right when her sister wrote a book called "Little House on the Prairie."	Swanzey, David Nevin (I2381)
47	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Henry and Charlotte Quiner Henry Newton Quiner, born in 1807, married Charlotte Tucker, born May 25, 1809, on April 2, 1831. They had seven children: Martha (died in childhood), Joseph, Henry, Martha, Caroline, Eliza, and Thomas. Henry and Charlotte were Laura's maternal grandparents. Henry was a farmer, but also traded with the nearby Wisconsin Indians. In the fall of 1844, he sailed off on Lake Michigan on a trading trip. A storm arose and sunk the schooner, and Charlotte Quiner was left a widow. BIOGRAPHY: In 1849, Charlotte remarried, to a farmer named Frederick Holbrook. The couple's only child Charlotte was the Aunt Lotty of the Big Woods. When asked by Mary and Laura which color of hair she preferred, Aunt Lotty replied wisely that she liked both kinds best. Lotty later married Henry Moore and had 6 children. BIOGRAPHY: Charlotte died in 1884 in Rome Jefferson Co Wisconsin, just before her granddaughter Laura married Almanzo Wilder many miles away. It is unlikely Laura ever saw her grandparents again after leaving the Big Woods at age 7.	Tucker, Charlotte Wallis (I2634)
48	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Known as "Docia," she was the aunt of Laura Ingalls Wilder (Pa's sister), and appeared in several of her books, including "Little House in the Big Woods" and "By the Shores of Silver Lake."

With her second husband Hiriam Forbes she had seven more children: Ida, Adeline, Emma, Mary Amanda, Maude, Frances and Katie. After leaving Dakota Territory, the family moved to Nebraska, where Hiriam died in 1906. Docia then moved to Colorado to be near her son Gene, where she died in 1918.	Ingalls, Laura Ladocia (I2344)
49	BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Literary Figure. His daughter Laura Ingalls Wilder immortalized him and the rest of her family in the popular ‘Little House' series of books. Born the fourth of eleven children in Cuba, New York, when he was 12 his family moved to Illinois, and then to Wisconsin. He married Caroline Lake Quiner in February of 1860 and with her, headed west in what would become a long string of moves which indulged his wanderlust, his dislike of large towns, and the prevailing job opportunities. The young family moved from Wisconsin, to Kansas, back to Wisconsin, to Minnesota, to Iowa, back to Minnesota, and finally to Dakota Territory in 1879 where, among other occupations, he was appointed Justice of the Peace of De Smet. The Ingalls' had five children; Mary, Laura, Carrie, Charles Frederick, and Grace. Ingalls died in his home at the age of 66 after an illness of several weeks led to heart failure.

Notes

Linked to

"Early in the war of the Revolution her husband was summond to the service of his country. During his absence she supported her family by spinning and weaving by hand and selling the products of her toil at Portland, fourteen miles distant from her home, whither she carried them over frightful roads on horseback, returning with a fresh supply of raw material for the wheel and loom. While Mrs. Irish was a woman of the heroic type, she possessed the kindlier instincts of her sex. In a year of unusual scarcity of food (1780), although her own larder was not overstocked, she put her children on allowance, that she might relive the hunger of her neighbors' children."

The Sketches of Gen James Irish of Gorham, ME 1776-1863 by Lyndon Oak

Phinney, Mary Gorham (I786)

11/21/2013 - The following information was added by a visitor, Mary Toluchanian:

"The original, handwritten vital records of Gorham, Cumberland Co., Maine (LDS Family History Library microfilm No. 0010928), page 53, record the birth date of Ebenezer Irish (son of James Irish and Mary Gorham Phinney) as "5th April 1764," rather than 1763.

Hugh D. McLellan's 1903 History of Gorham, Me., page 584, has propagated an incorrect year of birth (1763) and the wrong day of death (07 Jan 1851 instead of the 22 Jan 1851 date which you correctly show as recorded in the cemetery records).

Mr. McLellan also gives the date of Ebenezer's and Martha's marriage intentions (01 Jan 1785) as the actual date of marriage. The actual Gorham, Me., record on page 38 of the same microfilm reads: "Jany.1st.1785 / Ebenezer Irish Enter,d his name & purpofe of marriage, with Martha Morton (both of Gorham) --Attst-- Austin Alden } Town Cler" ("k" omitted at end)."

Irish, Ebenezer (I1775)

Irish, Stephen (I1837)

A sketch of Joseph Irish appears in A History of Buckfield, Maine 1777--1900 as follows: "Joseph Irish of Gorham, a brother of John, senior, born April 12, 1728, was a soldier in the old French and Indian War and the War of Independence. He married Hannah Doane in 1753. His family had all grown up prior to his settling in Bucktown. His lot, which adjoined the Turner town line, he sold to his son, Ebenezer Irish, in 1802. There is no mention of his name on the census list of 1800. We find under the record of the offspring of Ebenezer Irish and his wife, Bathsheba, this entry: 'Mr. Joseph Irish, died April 14, 1808.' His name disappeared from the tax lists of the town in 1801."

Irish, Joseph (I663)

According to the 22 Oct 1931 Augusta Eagle, William D. Abernathy came to the area from Jacksonville, Ill. with Joel Catlin in 1832. He was the proprietor of a general store and on 12 Mar 1834 he was appointed Postmaster.

The article notes that although he moved to Warsaw, Ill. later in life and died there during the cholera epidemic, Mr. Abernathy is buried in Augusta Cemetery.

[The surname may also be spelled Abernathy].

According to the History of Hancock County (Board of Supervisors, 1968), both Joel Catlin and William Abernathy were from Harwinton, Conn.

Married Evelina Hawley in 1833, daughter of Rufus Hawley and Betsey Richards, sister of Mrs. Joel Catlin.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PATRICK HENRY MURPHY

Date of birth June 20, 1838, County Kilkenny, Ireland (not St. Louis, Missouri, as previously believed). Came to America about 1845 with widowed mother, brothers Michael Millard, Noel, and sisters Maria L., Margaret and Ellen M., via New Orleans, Louisiana, up the Mississippi River to St. Louis. (Source info: Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Fayette County, Vol. II, p. 789 under Murphy, Michael M.; Munsell Publishing Co., Chicago, 1910).

Good health all his life, some rheumatic aches, serious infection from nail in foot. In St. Louis he had his left forearm crushed by a run-away carriage. In 1858 he was shot while in his cabin near Mills, Calif. (see preceding historical notes), the bullet took off about one-half of left ring finger -- and further injured his left forearm, causing partial impairment for remainder of his life. At the time doctors wanted to amputate the arm, but a Mr. Pettit (curator of Sutter’s Fort) interceded and prevented the surgery. The robbers took from his cabin a bar of silver about the size of a bar of soap (such a bar was medium of exchange and savings). He had one in his possession at the time of his death, but it was lost when ﬁre destroyed the home of his daughter, Corda, which was located across the road and slightly west of the old homestead.

Beautiful Lady

Beverly Mae Billings is my grandmother. She was and will always remain beautiful in my memories. She passed peacefully into Heaven on 5/5/12 with her family beside her after a long battle with leukemia. She fought gracefully for several years against a blood disease that had already taken her brother from her. In the duration of hospital visits, chemo, blood transfusions and medications she never lost her wonderful smile. Through all of this her family supported her and my grandfather stayed by her side through all of trips, confusion, and uncertainty of the medical issues that gradually weakened her body and mind. His strength and their faith in the Lord gave them the will to keep fighting. I will always remember her as a fighter, who never gave up. Even in the end she didn't quit she just followed the Lords angels home where she will wait for us to join her.

If I have one memory of my grandmother that will stay with me forever and make me smile it is this: I had just started going out with Jonathan and we had visited my gram on a winter night that was snowing lightly. We had called before going to see them and made sure they were all set as we were going by a store and it had become a habit to always check with gram and gramp before we drove to see them. They were all set and we proceeded to go for a visit. On the way we made a detour and travelled a longer way than usual. My gram in all her joyous glory looked at us as we came in and I quote " don't you know its too cold to go parking this time of year." and winked lightly as only she can do. I was a little shocked and slightly embarassed but managed to joke back and ask how she knew to which she replied " well its the voice of experience Beverly." (She always called me Beverly unlike everyone else she never used my nickname.) She never lost the ability to joke around even when she was in pain or sick.

I sat with my grandmother in the days before she passed and I know in my heart that the grandmother I loved was really not there. She was a shell of what she used to be and I think she was only holding on that last little bit because she knew Grandpa would not be making this journey with her. They had been through 65 yrs of trials, joys, 15 children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and even great great grandchildren. This was going to be the hardest thing they had ever done. I held her hand while she slept and said my goodbyes to an angel that was going home. She knew in her heart what was happening and she held it in I believe. In the last stages of her life she was forgetting things and people. And even through that, when she didn't recognize people who visited or things she did through the day she remembered exactly where and when she met my grandfather. She told me she used to take a bus once a month to a roller skating rink in Oxford and that is where she met LLoyd.
Her life has inspired her family, and I have the honor of being named after her. I only hope I can live up to the reputation she has made. I am at peace with her passing. I know she is waiting for us to come home to Heaven and be with her, and when I see her she will be radiant and peaceful. I grieve for my grandfather because I know he is lost without her. I can only imagine all the things they have done in the last 80 yrs.

Always in my heart Gram, I love you. Beverly

James Monroe Douglass, who died today at his home at 81 Montgomery street, was born on the banks of far-famed Lake Sebago, Maine, Feb. 24, 1839, and as a boy he worked on a farm, receiving his education meanwhile at a country school and later going to Bridgeton Academy, graduating therefrom in 1861. He returned to his home town to teach, for awhile, but at the age of twenty-one came to Boston and for seven years was associated with the Boston Ice Company, after which he established himself in the express business, in which he continued up to the time of his death. His was the first express to run between Faneuil Hall Market and the South End, and therefore was a Pioneer in Establishing a Line between Faneuil Hall Market and the South End.

James Monroe had always been keenly interested in politics, identifying himself with the Republican Party. In 1895 he rendered some excellent work as a member of the Ward Committee. He served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1897 and again in 1898 and was one of the original members of the Committee of One Hundred. He served Ward Seventeen, representing one of the most populous and prominent of the districts of the county of Suffolk, Massachusetts.

During his life in Boston he was a member of the Odd Fellows and the Royal Arcanum.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

18th United States President, Civil War Union Lieutenant General. He was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio. His birth name was Hiram Ulysses Simpson Grant. At seventeen, he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. After graduation, his first assignment was service in a border war with Mexico. After eleven years he resigned his commission and persued a number of failed civilian endeavors. He answered the call for service during the Civil War, quickly rising to rank of Brigadier General. Victories at Fort Henry, Fort Doneson and Vicksburg earned him a second star. After raising the siege of Chattanooga, Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General and placed in command of all Union armies. The Army of the Potomac under General Grant finally forced Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to withdraw from Richmond the following spring and finally surrender on April 9, 1865. The following year Congress awarded a fourth star, making him the first full General of the Armies in American history. With his popularity at an all time high, he accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 1868. After serving two terms in the White House, Grant entered business on Wall Street in New York City. He lost all his money. To help support himself, he wrote magazine articles about his military life. He was ill. He displayed the first symptoms of Throat Cancer in the summer of 1884. The General always displayed an excessive use of tobacco. A cigar in his mouth was his trademark. On June 16, 1884, suffering from extreme discomfort from his cancer, it was decided to accept an offer from a wealthy friend to go to Mount McGregor, New York, a mineral springs resort and stay in a small cottage which he owned. Here he awaited death while writing a book about his life. He died here in the front room of the little cottage where he had been bedridden. An embalmer was summoned to prepare the remains. While deciding a burial place, his body was placed in a casket and left in the middle of the room where it was viewed by an estimated three hundred people over a period of weeks until a park on Riverside Drive was selected and a temporary vault was constructed. General Grants body was placed on a train and taken to New York City. On August 8th, his funeral procession stretched for seven miles through the streets of New York City to Riverside Park located on the Hudson River. President Grover Cleveland led some 60,000 marchers while a million people lined the route. Both union and Confederate generals acted as his pall bearers. Grants wife, Julia so devastated by his death was unable to attend the funeral. Contribution from around the nation raised enough money to construct the present day tomb. Finally on April 27, 1897, with Mrs. Grant present, it was dedicated after a parade witnessed by over a million people. Upon Mrs. Grants Death in 1902, she was interred beside her husband.

Folk and literary figure. Born in Burr Oak, Iowa, the fifth and youngest child of Caroline and Charles Ingalls. After graduating Redfield College, she worked as a schoolteacher in Manchester, South Dakota. In 1901, she married Nathan William Dow. The couple had no children. After the death of their parents, her sister Mary briefly made a home with Grace before settling in with their sister Carrie. Although her family was immortalized in her sister Laura's ‘Little House' series of books, Grace remains little known. She was just eight years old when Laura left home to marry, and so she played a minor role only in the last books of the series. She apparently succumbed to diabetes complications at the age of 64 and was interred in the family plot in De Smet.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

He was an early gold prospector who came to Keystone in the 1890s and staked out a placer claim along Grizzly Creek. There's still gold on his claim, where the Roosevelt Inn sits today. And some of Dave's old diggings can still be seen on the hill behind the property. .
Perhaps Dave's greatest claim to fame happened when he named a rocky outcrop Mt. Rushmore after a New York City lawyer -- Charles Rushmore. Little did he know how famous that granite peak would become.

In his later years, Dave married a reporter from the local newspaper named Carrie Ingalls who, as it turned out, became famous in her own right when her sister wrote a book called "Little House on the Prairie."

Henry was a farmer, but also traded with the nearby Wisconsin Indians. In the fall of 1844, he sailed off on Lake Michigan on a trading trip. A storm arose and sunk the schooner, and Charlotte Quiner was left a widow.

BIOGRAPHY: In 1849, Charlotte remarried, to a farmer named Frederick Holbrook. The couple's only child Charlotte was the Aunt Lotty of the Big Woods. When asked by Mary and Laura which color of hair she preferred, Aunt Lotty replied wisely that she liked both kinds best. Lotty later married Henry Moore and had 6 children.

BIOGRAPHY: Charlotte died in 1884 in Rome Jefferson Co Wisconsin, just before her granddaughter Laura married Almanzo Wilder many miles away. It is unlikely Laura ever saw her grandparents again after leaving the Big Woods at age 7.
