She is buried next to her husband and her marker identifes her as "Barbarey", w/o Paul who died aged 57 years 10 months being born on 30 July 1826. That would make her death year 1884. The birth year suggested is more than a decade later than any Census records suggest It would also make her only four years old when she married Paul! Obviously there are some errors in the dates recorded, either on the cemetery marker or in the typing of that volume of records.

"One of the best known citizens of Hancock county is Dr. Albert C. Matthias, of McComb, who has attained distinction in professional circles, and is a prominent representative of several fraternal organizations. Forceful indiviudality and keen insight, combined with practical common sense, are the strong traits in his character which have served to win for him a high place in various circles."

In 1897 Albert relocated from Gilboa to Hancock County where he had, by 1903, "...gained recognition as a practitioner whose skill is above the average and whose ability is constantly augmented by reading and investigation. Membership in leading medical societies, wherein there is an interchange of thought and experience, has also led to the advancement of Dr. Matthias in his chosen calling." Albert belonged to the Northwestern Ohio Medical Association, the Ohio State Medical society, and was the president of the Putnam County Medical Society for three years while a resident of Gilboa.

According to Lewis Publishing Company's A Centennial Biographical History of Hancock County Ohio (1903) page 519:

In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Ephraim and his wife Lucinda and their daughter reside in Blanchard Twp. He is a farmer with a Real Estate value of $600.00 and a Personal Estate value of $200. He lives two dwellings from his parents.

Through her research of Civil War records, Dorothy Weiser Seale explains in her book that

Ephraim enlisted in the Union Army on 4 November 1861
as a Private with Co. K. 65th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, at Hancock Co., Ohio for a period of three years.
On 8 November 1862 he was appointed Corporal, and on 2 May 1863 he was appointed Sergeant. On 31 December 1863 he mustered out and was discharged so that he might re-enlist as a Veteran Volunteer. He rejoined the following day 1 January 1864 at Chattanooga, Tenn., was again appointed Sergeant and received $160 bounty. Ephraim was taken prisoner in action at the engagement at Spring Hill, Tenn. on 29 November 1864 which was fought between Union troops under Gen. John Schofield and a Confederate army under Gen. John Bell Hood, 10 miles from Franklin. He was paroled at Vicksburg, Miss. on or about 21 April 1865. At Vicksburg, the steamer Sultana took on the paroled prisoners, comprising of 33 officers and 1, 833 men. On the night of 27 April 1865, the boilers exploded and the steamer sank. Seventeen officers and 1,084 men were lost. Ephraim survived the disaster, but was mistakenly reported killed. Following the explosion of the Sultana, he was admitted to Soldier's Home in Memphis for a short time. On 7 May 1865 he reported to Camp Chase, Ohio and was mustered out on 22 May 1865 as a Sergeant. Medical records after his return home from the service show that in 1865 he was suffering from rheumatism ans neuralgia...


Ms. Seale explains that it is alleged that Ephraim died in Saguache, Saguache Co., Colorado before 1896 although her search discovered that there is no tombstone on record for him there and there are no death records available for that time period. However, Saguache was his last known address. Government records indicate that in 1894 and "...in 1896 Lucinda, then residing in McComb, Ohio, was still trying to find out if a pension were being paid to..." him. Ephraim's health ailments may be the reason that he "...left his family and sought the dry climate in Colorado." However, Ms. Seale's research indicates that

His Civil War records indicate that he may have abandoned his family and remarried, for he was the subject of a search by his mother and his wife through the Bureau of Pensions. If he deserted his wife and children, Lucinda may have remarried, for in Ephraim's Civil War papers, obtained from National Archives in Washington, D.C., she was known as Lucinda Mathias, and later as Lucinda Lynn (page 332).

Ephraim married Lucinda Mullers on 22 Feb 1855 in Hillsdale, Michigan, United States. Lucinda was born in 1841/1842 in New Jersey, United States; died after 1900. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

However, on 20 February 1863, he was made Captain of Company A, 65th Regiment.
On 28 May 1864, John

...was wounded...in the Battle of New Hope Church, Georgia, near Dallas, in the Atlanta Campaign. He received a severe gun shot wound to the left side, in the lower portion of the pleura and lung. On 26 October 1864 near Alpine, Ga., Capt. John tendered his resignation to Brig. Gen. W.D. Whipple... "because I have been in the service for three years, my father died in March, 1864 leaving my mother, and the wife and three children of one of my brothers who is serving in this regiment, with no one to care for them. In June 1864 our dwelling house was burned with all its contents and the two families are suffering much for want of someone to look after them." His request was granted and his resignation accepted 17 December 1864.


After mustering out of the cervice, John resided in Franklin County, Kansas and Allen County, Indiana before returning to Putnam County in 1883.

The proponderence of evidence suggests that the Louis found in that 1880 Franklin County, Kansas Census is indeed the son of Paul and Barbara; Louis's brothers, Benjamin Franklin and David, definitively reside in that county, there is no evidence of Louis residing in Ohio at that time nor is there any evidence of his dying in Ohio prior to 1880.

The following entry is found on line at Grand Traverse County, Michigan's rootsweb site in the "Pioneer Families of Grand Traverse County, Michigan Long Lake "S" Families":

SHILLING

Collins C Shilling was born in 1844/1845 in Ohio, son of C. H. Shilling (f=PA, m=OH). Shilling was married prior to 1867 to Mary M George. Mary was born in 1839/1840 in Ohio (parents=PA).

Colin Shilling owned 67 acres in Long Lake township in 1879[127]. In 1880, the Shillings lived on a farm in Long Lake twp[128]. Collins was appointed constable of Long Lake twp in 1881 and 1882. In March 1882 he began to build a 16 ft by 28 ft addition to his house. In October of 1882 he purchased a team for $315[129]. Colin was well known as a well digger. He put in a well for Elijah Cox in August 1885 and was "prepared to do such work at any time"[130].

Colin's brother visited in March 1884 and announced that he intended to move to Long Lake. Meanwhile Colin finished his house building. In October 1884, Colin ran Mr. Algier's threshing machine and threshed 724 bushels in 32 minutes. Later that year: C. C. Shilling informed your localist that he had for sale one pair of lumber sleighs for the small sum of $23. Colin's brother Silas Shilling returned to southern Michigan in February 1885. In September, Silas purchased a new threshing machine and reported that it was giving entire satisfaction. The greater amount of threshing is done. We secured the services of C. C. Shillings in threshing our grain, and we desire to say that we never had better work done since coming to this section. His terms are also very reasonable. His charges are four cents for threshing peas, 3 1/2 cents for wheat, and two cents for oats[131].

The Shillings hosted a party in April 1886. Colin received a back pension in April 1887 for Civil War service. He finished his last threshing job of the year in early October. In 1888 he built a new barn and purchased an engine for his threshing machine. He also lost a cow and calf by eating "paris green" (apparently a poisenous plant). Colin was elected a moderator for the school meetings in September 1888. In December, Colin and his son were cutting wood with a wood machine. He was elected constable in 1889 and was also the pathmaster, making sure the roads were kept up[132].

Collins became a member of the Long Lake Friends Church in 1883 and Mary and daughter Ella in 1884. Collins condemned himself for using profane language in 1885. Collins, Mary, and daughter Cora resigned from the church in 1890[133]. In July 1792, C. F. Powell and Joshua Simmonds built a house for the Shillings[134]. Collins died on 13 November 1898 from septicemia in Traverse City[135].

William Henry Price of Galion one fo the oldest and best known conductors on the Erie railroad was struck and instantly killed by B. & O. passenger train No. 5, at 2:50 Thursday morning, near Exchange street this city.

Price was running an east bound freight train on the Erie and had just pulled into the Exchange street siding making a stop to do some switching and pick up some cars to take on to Kent. Price rode on the locomotive until the train stopped, so as to be able to direct the engineer.

Just as the train stopped, Price stepped down and in a cloud of steam and the noise of his own train, he was unable to see or hear, and stepped onto the B. & O. tracks just as the fast passenger came running by. He was struck and hurled about fifty feet.

Another member of his crew who saw the accident rushed to Price, but life was already extinct. The injuries were a fractured skull, a broken leg and bruises about the spine.

Park's ambulance took the remains to the morgue and they will be taken to Galion this evening by a committee from Crawford Division Order Railway Conductors, of which the decedent has been, for many years, financial secretary. This committee arrived from Galion this morning.

Mr. Price was about 54 years old. He was twice married and lieaves (sic) his wife and five children. Two of the children live here, Mrs. Albert R. Stannah, 290 Perkin(s) street and J. N. Price 504 Ohio street. Mr. Price was a prominent member of several secret societies and of the Disciple church, being one of the officials of the Galion church, under the pastorate of Rev. John P.
