On December 29, 1835, there's an Ireland record of Felix Shields & Jane Heany having Elisa and the ss (probably means sworn sponsors) were Bernard Hanaatsy &
Anne Kevate (maybe McKevate) ain the town of C. Hill. The top of the register does not have column names, but it's probably birth or baptismal because the first entry
on the page as “(illegitimate)”.

Patrick Penders' number was drawn for the civil war lottery, but he did not serve. He most likely claimed a hardship & that he was needed at home.
Patrick Penders' grave was moved to St. Michael's.

The Badnarek Scrapbook (index on the Washington County Historical Society's website) has the following people: Mr. & Mrs. Felix Penders & Patrick Pendergast.

According to the 1890-1891 Stillwater City Directory, St. Michael's Church was organized in 1852. The Pastor was M.E. Murphy and the Asst. Pastor was Timothy F.
O'Brien.
There's a picture, around 1905, with Catherine Penders seated in front of the Penders' house. Fannie Penders is standing, Bill Penders is laying on the ground and
Agnes Penders is the little girl.

According to the death certificate of Catherine Penders (1912), she lived with sons and died in Grant Township from pulmonary edema (a condition caused by excess
fluid in the lungs. The fluid collects in numerous air sacs making it difficult to breathe). She also had Bronchitis.

Catherine Penders' (nee Shields) pallbearers were: Peter Schnider, Frank Ramsey, Joseph Weinisch, Frank Wilzbacher, D.J. Hooley and James O'Schaughnessy.

William R. Penders was a card player and a member of the Cinch Club. Other members were: Mr. Louis Rohling, Mrs. Louise Rohling, Gust Kuhn, B.B. Thelen, Fred
Long, Mr. & Mrs. William Laub, Miss. Seibers and William Minogue.

According to the death certificate of Katherine Elizabeth Penders (1934), her occupation was house work and died in Grant Township from cardiac insufficiency. Her
father was born in Indiana (most likely an error) and her mother was born in Ireland. The informant was Felix Penders. According to the newspaper, Katherine moved
to Grant Township with her parents, as a young girl. She was a member of the Rosary Society of St. Michael's Catholic Church. Her pallbearers were: James Hurley,
William Monogue, William Hubman, James Doran, Andrew Thumser and J.R. Pfiffner (Simonet Funeral Home).

He died at the Bethesda Invalid Home, St. Paul, MN where he had lived for two months and 14 days. He died from arthritis deformans & chronic myocarditis. Her
father was born in Canada and her mother was born in Ireland. The informant was Felix Penders. His death notice said that he was born and raised in Washington
County, having lived in Grant Township for nearly 60 years.

According to the death certificate of Mary Jane Penders (1938), she was a housekeeper and died in Grant Township from stomach cancer (1-2 years). Her father was
born in Canada and her mother was born in Ireland. The informant was Felix Penders. According to the newspaper, Mary Jane moved to her home on White Bear
Road when a small child and has lived there ever since. She was a life-long member of St. Michael's Church. Her pallbearers were: James Hurley, William Monogue,

indenture, term for which bound, indenture expires, names & residences of parties to whom bound, vessel in which apprentice is to serve, last report & remarks. Felix

native country was Great Britain & she was a servant. She was probably a servant on the ship because there was no destination listed. So she was probably returning
to England.
-Cath. Shields was born about 1830. At age 20, she embarked in Liverpool, on the ship Western World (passenger 475) for the destination of USA. She arrived in New
York, NY on 05/20/1850. Her native country was Ireland & she was a servant.

Possible relatives from the internet:
According to a census for Poultney, Vermont (Rutland County), Patrick Penders, age 45 was born in Ireland. He was 45, single and works on quarry. The head of the
household, where he resided, was Matrick Mahanna. According to Wikipedia, Poultney was first chartered on September 21, 1761, by Benning Wentworth, Royal
Governor of New Hampshire and named from William Pulteney, 1 st Earl of Bath, a British politician and orator. In the last half of the 19th century slate became a
major import from the region. This attracted immigrants from many countries including Wales. Lack of social mobility, experience in processing slate, and a depressed
economy in Wales encouraged many Welsh slate workers to come to the Poultney region. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many of the Welsh last name in the area are
pronounced using the original Welsh pronunciation.

A John Penders married Winifred Penders who was born about 1842 in Galway, Ireland.

Highway 61 (also known as Dellwood Road and White Bear Road) was the lumber road between Stillwater and the White Bear Lake train depot.

Felix had complaints with St. Mary's Church in White Bear Lake, but his children still went there. He changed churches to St. Michael's in Stillwater.

Grant Township had a handful of tornados. One was 09/11/1942, another was 09/16/1942 and perhaps another in the 1930's. There are pictures of Howie Storer in the
holes of uprooted trees and overturned planes at Northport.

James Robert Penders became Felix Penders' guardian when Felix was 90 (they owned joint stock together too);

Clubs in the Mahtomedi area were: Mutual Helpers Club, Cinch Club, the rural telephone committee and the AT&T club;

On December 2, 1951, Helen & Chris Easton had a 50th wedding anniversary open house party for Frances & Felix Penders, Mr. & Mrs. Lewis Rohlfing and Mr. and

and Mrs. Robert Penders.” A special mass was said at St. Michaels Church in Stillwater and a Stillwater merchant gifted him 100 roses. Daughters, Helen Easton and
Frances Storer made the birthday cake which was three-tiered and twenty pounds. Frances Storer made the table cloth (linen with ecru cut work). Punch was served by
Chris Easton and Howard Storer. Coffee was poured by Mrs. Allen Storer (Rose). The Minnesota grandchildren and great-grandchildren gave him a bouquet of mums
and the California grandchildren also sent a bouquet of mums and roses. The photographer was Louis Carrington (from Minneapolis).

“Grandpa hopes ache won't mar 100th birthday plans – 'my stomach hurts' he told a reporter. He was born on the original Penders' 80 acres, on Hwy. 96, east of
Mahtomedi. He became a farmer at the age of 8 years when his father, Patrick died. He will become 100 years old on the same land, on the exact spot, where he was
born. Grandpa Penders will undoubtedly be the only centenarian in American who owns his own airport-he owns Northport, the training field, just west of him. He
often rode over the airport site on his ox. Patrick Penders paid $4 per acre for 80 acres he bought before the Civil War. Grandpa Penders kept his land. He managed to
sell his surplus wheat at a profit, year after year, sold his oats over the decades to the Wolf brewery in Stillwater for the brewery horses, worked on the roads in his
spare time, and put up ice every winter for cash wages. Over the years, when Grandpa's neighbors gave up their land, Grandpa had the money to buy. He added 60
Acres, 100 acres, 80 acres and 100 acres (the airport) at various times. This 420 acres is now worth about $1,000 per acre or more, it is estimated. Grandma Frances
Penders, also Irish, wants him to hold on until Dec. 7 when they will be married 60 years. Grandma is 89 and used to churn as much as 60 pounds of butter (by hand)
every week and sell it in Mahtomedi. Her cream sold at 20 cents a pint and was so stiff with butterfat (about 50 percent) it would hardly run out of an earthen jar.
Grandpa, the good looking French type, did not marry until he was 40. Grandpa Penders still reads the Dispatch and listens to the radio when the Gophers play. The
present Penders farm house, 75 years old, was built on the site of the first Penders' abode. Grandpa can't remember what kind of a house the first one was. 'On account
of Stillwater being a good lumber town, we always had good lumber around here' he said. Highway 96 used to be a loggers' trail. Grandpa said he never once smoke
or drank whiskey, but then the Wolf brewery wagon came along on a hot summer day-well you know what. He said he was never in a saloon in his life in Stillwater.
Once though in White Bear while putting up ice in the winter. The old sheet iron windmill in the barnyard is more symbolic of Grandpa. It's still creaking and
spinning. Its blades meet the breeze and pump water for the stock.”

“Grandpa Felix Penders got over the hump Friday night and was 100 years old today without a stomach ache. The Washington County farmer started his birthday by
eating fried eggs, homemade bread with jelly and a dish of peach sauce, sipping coffee with it-he doesn't eat butter, although he has dairy cows. The centenarian picked
up the Dispatch Friday night before he went to bed and saw his picture on the front page. 'Looks just like me, doesn't it?' he said. On top of having a good appetite
today, Grandpa Penders greeted a nephew, Lt. Joseph W. Penders, naval aviator at Norfolk, VA whom he hasn't seen for several years. He also recognized the aviator's
wife, Collette, whom he met several years ago when his health was better.”

The story below was written by Clarence Rippel of White Bear Lakes and submitted to the newspaper by his sister Mrs. Joe Renaker: “Mr. Felix Penders of Route 9,
Mahtomedi, will celebrate his 100th birthday on Saturday, Nov. 4th. He was born November 4, 1861, the son of Patrick and Catherine Penders. His father died when
Felix was eight years old. He worked on the farm until about ten years ago. After that he spent his time on a large garden and his flowers, but was forced to give that
up about two years ago due to failing health. He still reads the paper and likes to listen to the Minnesota football games on the radio. There are eleven grandchildren
and twelve great grandchildren. ”
“Other greetings came from the Mutual Helpers Club, the 50-70 club and the Evening Circle.” (See October 26, 1961 White Bear Press, November 3, 1961 St. Paul
Dispatch, November 16, 1961 Stillwater Gazette, November 23, 1961 White Bear Press and more newspapers.)

By letter dated December 11, 1961, Luther Weaver (405 Oppenheim Building, St. Paul) sent Felix Penders this letter “This is belated recognition of not only your
sixtieth wedding anniversary, but your 100th birthday. Please accept the sincere congratulations of the Weavers at 66 Grove Street. You may recall that 100 years ago,
more or less, you used to deliver cream to this house – cream you could stand on, it was so thick. I have never forgotten you or it.”
According to the death certificate of Felix Patrick Penders (1962), he died at his farm in Grant Township (RR #2, Mahtomedi, MN) from pyelocystitis (inflammation of
the renal pelvis and urinary bladder), prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) and he was senile. The informant was Robert Penders of the same address.

According to the death certificate of Frances G. Penders (1964), she lived in Grant Township for 63 years – so since 1901. She died at the home of her daughter, Helen
Easton (Grant Township, RR #2, Mahtomedi, MN) from a stroke nine days earlier. Her parents’ names were misspelled as Thomas Dunlap & Emma O'Riely. The
informant was Mrs. Howard Storer (Mahtomedi). Frances G. Penders' death is also listed in Washington County's death book 2, p. 423-2.

Note:
MHS's birth index has Bat's BD as April 28, 1912 & relative's chart has April 20 th.
MHS's death index has Felix's death date at October 20, 1962 & relative has October 24, 1962.

To do
The 1865 census says that Patrick Penders was born in Nova Scotia, but the others say Ireland. Which is true?
Did Felix marry Fannie before he took her to MN the first time? It’s odd that he was getting cows in December.
When did Frances Dunlop's twin die? Was it at birth and were there any twins in Joe Penders' family?
The Washington County Historical Society has a photo of Shawn Penders with a snowmobile.
The 1878 – 1882 Stillwater arrest book has Felise Pender (probably Felix Penders) and Wm Penders and Fred Perdergast. Look at the arrest books to learn more.
The 1907 – 1925 Stillwater arrest book has WJ Penners (might be William T. Penders) 121: 13.

Dunlop and Dunlap are used interchangeability. It is a Scottish name.

Thomas Watt Dunlop was in the Civil War. He was aboard the gunboats “Essex” and “USS Benton” while in the Navy.
Internet information on the USS Benton (named after former U.S. Senator Thomas Hart Benton (1821-1851)). Because of the speed at which the American Civil War
evolved, both sides enacted furious procurement programs in an effort to stem the advancements of the other. This often meant attaches traveling overseas to secure
small arms, artillery, and ships. In the case of the latter, it also proved common practice to simply modify an existing vessel for war - as was the case with USS Benton
of the Federal Navy. USS Benton was formed around the structure of an existing catamaran "snagboat", a river-born barge with good shallow water properties. The
hull was purchased in November of 1861 for $2,600. Her completed profile was consistent with ironclads of the age, exhibiting sloped sides with cannon ports dotting
her length. Her roof was primarily flat and serviceable as a walking platform. A pair of smoke funnels - seated side-by-side at midships - broke up her silhouette as did
the pilot house at front and the housing for her stern paddlewheel. Assault boats were carried over her sides. Due to her original catamaran arrangement, a new bow was
designed, built, and added to the existing structure to complete her look. Her complete crew complement numbered 176 officers and enlisted personnel. Dimensions
included a length of 202 feet, a beam of 72 feet, and a draught down to 9 feet. Benton's casemate was wholly covered in iron for maximum protection - a quality not
common for early-war ironclads. Protection reached up to 2.5 inches while this armor was backed by up to 34 inch thick wood. Armament for Benton evolved over the
course of her service tenure. Beginning in February 1962, she carried a battery of 2 x 9" (228mm) Dahlgren smoothbore guns, 7 x 42-pounder James rifled guns, and 7
x 32-pounder Dahlgren rifled guns. In August of 1962 she was to take on a battery of 2 x 9" Dahlgren smoothbores, 2 x 50-pounder Dahlgren rifles, 4 x 42-pounder
James rifles, 8 x 32-pounder Dahlgren rifles, and a sole 12-pounder Dahlgren howitzer. Come January of 1863, she was fitted with 4 x 9" Dahlgren smoothbore guns, 2
x 50-pounder Dahlgren rifled guns, 4 x 42-pounder James rifles, 6 x 32-pounder Dahlgren rifles, and 1 x 12-pounder Dahlgren howitzer. In December of 1863, her
finalized battery consisted of 8 x 9" Dahlgren smoothbores, 2 x 100-pounder Parrott rifles, 2 x 50-pounder Dahlgren rifles, 4 x 32-pounder Dahlgren rifles, and 1 x 12-
pounder Dahlgren howitzer. In this form, her sixteen gun battery made Benton one of the most powerful river gunships available to either side of the war. Benton's
propulsion system ultimately became her greatest failing. The vessel relied on a stern-mounted, steam-driven paddlewheel powered by two inclined engines. The
configuration made the boat hardly agile and her turning radius was excessively wide, becoming and a time-consuming process to bring her bow about. Maximum
speed in ideal conditions was 5.5 knots. The vessel underwent her conversion at St. Louis, Missouri for service with the Western Gunboat Flotilla - interestingly of the
United States Army and not Navy (the first three commanders of the Flotilla were in fact Navy men but fell under the direction of the Army). Benton was
commissioned on February 24th, 1862 and was immediately put into action along the critical Mississippi River waterway and its many arteries. During this period,
Benton took part in securing the surrenders of Island No. 10, Fort Pillow, and the city of Memphis, TN from the Confederates. She then faced off against CSS Arkansas
near Vicksburg, MS and survived a ramming attempt before steaming up the Yazoo River a time later. During October of 1862, she was handed over to the U.S. Navy
where she served as flagship (until 1863) of the Mississippi River Squadron with David Porter in command. In operation along the Yazoo River once more during
December of 1862, Benton took fire from Confederate guns and suffered damage but the vessel remained in service. In April of 1863, she managed to join several other
Federal ships in bypassing the Confederate defenses at Vicksburg. She was then used to bombard the enemy stronghold at Grand Gulf, MS. In May, Benton used her
guns in anger against Confederate positions at Fort DeRussy, AR and added firepower during the siege of Vicksburg - the strategically important river city fell on July
4th. From March to May of 1864, USS Benton served in the Red River Campaign on Louisiana waters, marking her last notable actions in the American Civil War.
With the war officially marked as over on May 9th, 1865, Benton returned to Louisiana waters in June to complete her service. On July 20th, 1865 Benton was
formally decommissioned which led to her sale on November 29th - ending her days as a naval fighting warship. (http:/www.militaryfactory.com/ships/detail.asp?

Almon must have named his first son after his older brother who died at age 42.
In 1870, Almon Storer worked on Albion Masterman’s farm in Grant Township. Albion Masterman was Almon Storer’s 2nd cousin. The farm is probably where
Almon met his wife because Mrs. Albion Masterman was Eliza Middleton the aunt of Ellen Storer (nee Middleton).
Almon Storer must have been in Washington County between 1870 & 1875. Then Almon & Ellen Storer lived in Good Thunder, MN (Blue Earth County) in 1876
when Charles was born. Almon’s aunt, Rachel Hawes, lived in Good Thunder, MN & Beauford, MN (Blue Earth County).
Almon Storer’s step mother was Christina Pratt.
Lizzie Pratt was Mrs. Ezra Winslow Pratt. She was Almon’s 1/2 sister & her mother was Christina Pratt.
Ellen Middleton wasn’t born yet when her father (William) died on 04/15/1855.
Ellen’s step father was A. John Borene from Woodbury.
May Belle Storer’s birth is recorded in Book A, p. 58, line 34. The LDS site has her birth incorrectly in 1880.
Almon Storer was an assessor for Washington County in 1886.
The Storers had a lot of barn dances where fiddles & accordions played.
In 1905, the Washington County census has Harvey (a carpenter age 59) and Ezra (age 11) listed with Almon, Ellen Charley, Esther Storer, May Belle, Victor &
Margie. So they probably lived with them.

According to the 02/07/1906 Stillwater Weekly Gazette, Almon Storer and others are among those who will put in a telephone as soon as the poles can be set.

Almon Storer has a fine exhibit of fruits and vegetables at the County fair (source: Stillwater Weekly Gazette, August 29, 1906).
At the late county fair, Almon won a 1st place premium award for fall comb honey and 2nd place for white clover comb honey, bass wood or comb linden honey,
extracted white clover honey and extracted basawood or linden honey. With apples, Almon won 1 st place for wealthy and also early strawberry apples. He got 2 nd
place for Minnesota apples (source: Stillwater Weekly Gazette, October 3, 1906).
Note: Washington County had an Aug. fair and a “late” fair in October probably to display later fruits/vegetables etc. like apples & honey.
Almon Storer did something in World War I. He enlisted as a Washington County man in WWI (1917 to 1919). Get the records from the Washington County
Historical Society.
May Storer sang at Charley Storer’s wedding to Esther Hatch on 12/06/1899.
At some point, Almon Storer made his farm house into a type of duplex where Almon & Ellen lived on the west side and Charley & Esther lived on the other. Maybe
William J. Masterman or Edward Plaster did the renovating.
May Belle Plaster died of tuberculosis in 1911.
The Washington County World War 1 (1917 to 1919) book has Almon Storer (110).
Ezra Masterman was Almon’s nephew (the son of Lucy Storer & Harvey Masterman) and he visited the Storer's farm a lot. In 1923, Ezra lived in N. St. Paul and when
Ezra died, he lived in Mpls.
Others who lived in the Storer farm house (before it burnt to the ground in 1978) were Rose & Allen Storer, and Michele & Jim Agnes.
Three weeks before Almon died, he celebrated his golden wedding anniversary on 09/27/1925.
A week before Almon died, he fell off his home’s roof (cleaning the chimney).

According to the death certificate of Almon Storer (1925-16215), he died of chronic myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) with the contributory factor of
accidental fall 7 days prior to 10/25/1925.
Almon’s pallbearers were William Penders, William Minogue, Herman Koler (or Kohler), John Holden, Frank Masterman & Oscar Johnson. William Penders was a
next door neighbor and his niece (Frances Penders) married Almon Storer’s grandson (Howard Storer) in 1932.
Not sure which Frank Masterman was a pallbearer. One Frank (09/18/1869 & died 01/22/1956) was the son of Joseph Norris Masterman & married Betsy or Bessie
Wheeler Fairbanks. He lived from in Grant Twp. Another was Frank Augustine Masterman (b. 12/28/1854) was the son of Martha Potter & Asa Masterman. Another
Frank married Rose ? & had Marion. Another was Frank Erago Masterman who lived from 04/17/1856 to 07/28/1882 (age 23 & not married) who was the son of
Belzora or Velzora & Stillman Masterman. This Frank is buried at Rutherford Cemetery & died before Almon, but might have lived with him.

Ellen Storer died from chronic myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle which is often due to a virus like parvovirus. Her pallbearers were Fred Wagner, William
Hubman, JR Pfiffner, Craton Ramsey, Oscar Johnson & Otto Fenner. These must have been mostly neighbors unless any of the Plaster children married these men.
According to the care taker at Union Cemetery (Gerald Nelson at 651-429-2745, 4819 Lake Avenue, No. WBL, MN), there were eight cemetery plots purchased there.
The Plasters probably have some because May Belle Plaster is buried right next to Charley & Almon Storer.

After May Belle Plaster died, Ed remarried a woman named Ruby. Edward Plaster’s parents were Edward Plaster, Sr. & Bertha Plaster, Sr. The mother, Bertha, lived
at 1065 E. 5th Street when she died on 04/28/1936.
Another Almon Storer married May E. McLucas about 1857 in Hiram, Maine (Oxford County). There’s a conflicting Familysearch.org site that says Almon Storer
married Mary E. McLucas about 1880 in Hiram, Maine.

Highway 96 used to be called “Rum River Road”.

Charles & Esther Storer lived with Almon & Ellen Storer.
A Mae Storer sung at Charley & Esther’s wedding. This was probably May Belle - Charley’s sister.
Mae Storer was also mentioned in the 03/27/1901 newspaper as having spent Sunday in St. Paul.
A Mary Storer was mentioned in a 1901 news clip. Was this a typo or who was she?
According to the 12/19/1906 Stillwater Weekly Gazette, Victor Storer had a birthday party. Those attending were Ezra Masterman, Marie & Irene Apman, Jean &
Daisy Hendrickson, Evelyn & Helen Rohlfling, Margaret Chryst, and Gerald, Jack & Willie Gunderson.
Victor Storer did not have children and had a alcoholism problem.
At birth, Victor weighed eight pounds.
Charles Storer bought a Studebacker in 1916.
Margie Storer contracted infantile paralysis (polio) in July 1916 (her hands were crippled). Her death certificate (1917-15416 Washington County) has organic heart
disease with the contributory factor of note antero poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis). The polio most likely caused her heart to give out. The funeral was held at the
home & C.E. Benson officiated (Trinity Lutheran Church). Her pall bearers were: William Kohler, Walter Wagner, Jack Gunderson, Walter Minogue, John Masterman
& Louis Leitze.
In the November 3, 1920 Stillwater paper, under the Grant section, Charles Storer had an operation on 11/02/1920 at St. Luke’s Hospital.
Grandpa Howie said that his dad had a goiter and that shortened his life. Allan Storer also mentioned a goiter in Charles’ neck.
Charles Storer died about six months after a horse kicked him in the head (Washington death certificate 1923-16511).
Esther Storer had her tonsils removed in October 1920.

Charles Storer was a member of the I.O.O.F. which has something to do with the Odd Fellows.

The Badnarek Scrapbook (index on the Washington County Historical Society's website) has the following Storer people: Mr. & Mrs. Charles, Howard, Victor &
Margie Bell.

Charles Storer’s Death Notice (1923):

One of the most active and well known farmers of Ramsey County answered the call of death on Saturday, Aug. 4, at the farm home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.
Storer. Charles Storer, who has been a prominent and ever progressing farmer for forth years, lived with his parents on the farm four miles east of the city. Mr. Storer
was 47 years of age, having been born Sept. 5, 1876. His illness, which covered a period of three years, was long and painful but was withstood bravely to the end,
pneumonia and other complications being the cause of death. The funeral was held on Tuesday from his home, the services being conducted by the Rev. Wilson of the
Presbyterian church of Minneapolis. Interment was made at Union Cemetery. The I.O.O.F., of which the deceased was a member, took charge of the funeral rites. The
pallbearers, brother members of the lodge, were: Peter Vincent, T.W. Bacon, Adlore Dupre, Franklin Long, Robert Pfiffner and Charles Weigand. The deceased is
survived by his wife, two children and his parents.

The property line between the Storer’s & Penders’ was where the east-side airport hangar was located. So just a little bit west of Howie & Frances Storer’s driveway.

Esther Storer outlived everyone at the Storer farm. When she fell behind on the farm taxes, Felix Penders bought her property for $6,000 on or about 11/18/1939.
Felix gave Esther & Victor Storer a life estate in the house.

Victor Storer was a private in WWII. He never went to Europe, though and was medically discharged because of flat feet.
Victor Storer worked at a poultry farm and lived at the Storer house until he got married in his later years. Then he lived at 3816 Hoffman Road, White Bear Lake,
MN.
Victor Storer is buried at Union Cemetery and Emma Storer is buried at St. Mary's Church Cemetery in White Bear Lake.
Emma S. Storer's folks were Paul LeVassurr and Alice LaBore.
Esther Storer lived with Howard & Frances Storer for a while.

According to the death certificate of Esther Storer (1957), she died at Pine Point Nursing Home in Stillwater. She was there for nine months and died of Broncho-
pneumonia. Victor Storer was the informant and her doctor was R.E. Carlson (Stillwater). The funeral director was Johnson-Peterson Funeral home. The address
stamp has S. Smith Street, St. Paul, but Johnson-Peterson had a Stillwater parlor too.

Allen & Rosy Storer lived in the newer half of the Storer house & Victor Storer (Allen’s uncle) lived in the older half (west side) around 1958.
Then Joyce (nee Easton) & Mike Deneen lived there from about 1969 to 1975. Joyce insisted on moving out after a lightning bolt came down the house into the
kitchen as she witnessed it make an arch over to an appliance. Joyce thought the lightening was attracted to an unused copper pipe in the kitchen.

Michele & Jim Agnes lived in the Storer house from about 1977 to 1978 when it burnt to the ground due to old wiring. Michele was Howard Storer’s granddaughter.

The Little Red Schoolhouse (96 & Jamaca) caught fire on August 4, 1979.

Howard Almon Storer died (1995) at the N. St. Paul Nursing Home (Ramsey County) from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

To do
What death certificates do I have already? Frances (obituary, but not certificate), Emma (cert, but not obituary), Victor (obit, but not certificate). Esther (certificate, but
not obituary I want her obit to see if her funeral was at her home). I have Margie's and Howie's cert & obituary
Read Charles death notice again. He lived in Washington County and his middle initial was E. Was it forth, 4 or 40 years that he was a farmer. I also had that he was
46.
Try to find where Howard Storer was baptized. (I think I have a picture of Margie Belle Storer in a baptismal dress too.) Try Trinity Lutheran Church, CE Benson. It
was not Ascension Episcopal Church (439-2609) & I think I called St. John’s too at 429-5351. Maybe Presbyterian church of Minneapolis because this church
officiated at Charles Storer’s funeral.

Memories/Facts/Tidbits/Sources
Amelia (Millie) died less than a year after her mother - both of tuberculosis. She is buried with her parents.
I have the Oneka returns of death on both Eliza Hatch & Millie Hatch.
Dr. Pratt (Stillwater) was Eliza's attending physician and Dr. GE Clark (Stillwater) was Millie's attending physician.
When Eliza died in 1895, only her brothers William and Daniel were still living (Washington County).
Eliza Ann Masterman's death is recorded in Book A, p. 120 Oneka.
After Ivory P. Hatch sold his farm in Oneka, MN, he moved to Stillwater, MN. I have the Oneka plat map, but need help in locating the exact address.
Ivory's farm was bought by Mr. Kuehn. (Note: August Kuehn was mentioned on the Washington County World War I (1917-1919) index p. 142 (on the website).
Howard Brewer & Emma Allen lived in Waterloo, IA in 1915 & Jefferson, MO in 1925 & 1938.
Ivory Hatch was a member of Brackett’s battalion and this battalion merged with Company K, 5th Iowa Calvary during the civil way (1861 to Dec. 1864).
I have Ivory’s civil war file & a bunch of articles on the formation of Brackett’s Light Calvary.
I also have a picture of his civil war uniform that Shari Bergman mailed me. Shari is the daughter of Robyn Ivory Larson
The Oneka School District was Walker District #51 and it was organized in 1871. Ivory Hatch was an officer.
Eliza Hatch died of tuberculosis (1895).
The Rev. J.S. Kennedy who married Charles & Esther in 1899 is probably the Rev. Samuel J. Kennedy – pastor of the First Presbyterian Church (in 1906).
May Hatch, of Stillwater, attended the County Institute for Teachers (at the Central School Building) in Aug. 1906 (source: Stillwater Weekly Gazette August 29,
1906).
Eliza May Hatch taught school in Arcola (north of Stillwater) and was an English teacher at Stillwater High School in 1903. In June 1906, she was visiting I Arcola for
a few days. In 1906, she accepted a position in the South Stillwater schools (source: Stillwater Weekly Gazette September 19, 1906).
After Eliza May Hatch got married, she moved to Bemidji to farm with her husband, Edward Eli Larson. Note: Schoolteachers could not be married back then.
Edward Larson’s father was Gustaf Larson from Sweden.
Miss Emaline Hatch went home to Duluth, in August 1906, after visiting Mrs. Almon Storer - her sister (source: Stillwater Daily Gazette 08/20/1906).
According to the May 25, 1910 Stillwater Gazette, Miss Emeline Hatch has been auditor for D.H. Toman in New York City. She is in the Roosevelt Hospital (New
York) with Typhoid fever.
In 1912, Elizabeth Beatrice Hatch lived in Des Moines, IA and wasn’t married yet.
According to the June 16, 1915 Stillwater Gazette, Emeline B. Hatch married Howard Brewer Allen of New York. The bride has been an accountant for a New York
firm for the past six years and has traveled extensively in the United States and Canada. The groom is a graduate of Yale University and is now traveling inspector for
the Nebraska Fire Insurance Co. Mr. & Mrs. Allen’s address for the present is Waterloo, Iowa.
Emeline Hatch had an uncle named Masterman living in New York. Was this James Seeley & Eunice Masterman? I have to research if he was her uncle, great uncle or
a cousin. Emeline’s mom’s (Eliza Masterman) brothers were William, Daniel & Stillman Masterman and I didn’t see where they moved to NY. So figure out how
Albion Masterman (the grandfather) and James Seeley Masterman were related. The article might have meant a cousin living in New York.
Ivory Hatch was on bowling teams. In Jan. of 1906, he was on “The Painters” team and had a high of 209. In the Commercial league tournament, he had 21 games of
170 or higher and his average was 178. Teammates were Mohr, Brown, Carlgren & C. Krenz. In a Feb. 2, 1910 article, he was referred to as “the veteran bowler”. In
1910, his team was the Atwoods.
Ivory Hatch died at Lakeview Cemetery in Stillwater, MN (1925). His pallbearers were Elmore Olson, Oscar Olson, Edwin Larson (his son-in-law), Arthur Larson
(maybe Ed’s brother), William Hanson & Victor Storer (his grandson).
Ivory P. Hatch was on the Roll of Honored Veterans Dead published in the Stillwater Gazette May 29, 1937. Was he related?
According to Robyn Ivory Larson's death certificate (1988), he lived at 22902 E. Martin Lake Drive, Stacy, MN and the informant was his wife, Sidna Larson. He died
at North Memorial Hospital (Robbinsdale, MN) from heart disease. He was a self-employed appliance repairman and had been in the armed forces. He is buried at
Fairview Cemetery in Stillwater, MN.
Stillwater City Directory entries:

Another Ernest Mechelke was born in Germany on 05/25/1864 and died in the Ramsey County Home (2500 White Bear Ave.) on 10/09/1948. He was a retired farmer.
The informant was Mrs. Anna Mechelke also at 2500 White Bear Avenue. The certificate states he was widowed from Anna. So maybe he was married twice. His
parents were Anna Buttonhof and William Mechelke. He's not Henry Ernest Mechelke's father, but perhaps was his uncle.

Tom North might have been born on February 1, 1906 in Ramsey County. This man was Thomas Hunt North and his mother was Miss. Milner. MHS has his birth
certificate under 1906-39897. I could not find any Thomas North on the MHS' index or the Find A Grave website.

Forms of the United State of America Department of Commerce, Civil Aeronautics Administration, Washington:

Daniel Boone research related to claims that Sarah Harvey (who married Thomas Watt Dunlop) was his granddaughter

According to Lucy Cornwell, Sarah Harvey married Thomas Watt Dunlop on June 13, 1858 in Wellsville, Missouri (Montgomery County). Sarah Dunlop died
February 15, 1862 in the same town. She had one son – Robert James Dunlop born 1859.

BOONE - George, a brother of Daniel Boone, married NANCY LINGELL, [Linville-bb] and their children were Squire, John, Samuel, Edward, George,
Jr., Elizabeth, Martha, Sarah, Polly and Maria. Squire married and settled in St. Charles Co., MO., where he died, leaving 5 sons and several daughters.
The names of the sons were Samuel, Hayden, Milo, Thomas, and John. Capt. Samuel, son of George Boone, Sr., married ANNA SIMPSON, of KY by
