Jackson Griffith


Jackson Griffith

OBITUARY:
Death, the grim monster that is dreaded by all, was again in our midst and once more the funeral took up its solemn march to the white-sheeted nation of the dead, the grave and the silent tomb. Death is always doing his deadly work by robbing us of the sweetest ties of nature which bound us with love and affection. But ties in this world must be severed. Christ the Redeemer of mankind, snapped the jaws of death and delivered us from the grave to the city of Jerusalem, to be with those who have left us. Oh death, where is thy sting! Oh, grave, where is thy victory! The sting of death is sin, but thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jackson Griffith was born in Center township, Monroe county, O., August 13, 1818 and spent all his life on the farm adjoining his birthplace.

He died February 14, 1908 [Monroe Co., OH], being at the time of his departure, 89 years, 6 months and 1 day of age. He was the son of William and Mary Griffith and the youngest of ten children. All the other members of the family preceded him to the better world years ago, except one sister, who died Nov. 15, 1907.

He was first married to Mary K. Mobley, April 16, 1844. One child, Mary, was born to this union, who died in her youth.

He married his second wife, Elizabeth Foreman, April 1, 1847. To this union were born two children, Margaret A. and Nancy J., both of whom died in their youth.

On January 9, 1851, at Antioch, he married his third wife, Mary Brownfield. To this union was born one daughter, Hannah S. Griffith, who survives him. His third wife died March 24, 1882.

His fourth and last wife was Mrs. Sarah A. Trigg, whom he married May 13, 1884, whom still survives him.

He was converted in 1853 and united with the Baptist church, which was his choice, in a country schoolhouse near Cranenest creek, being a member of that church for fifty-five years. He was a deacon of the church for the past thirty-five years. He informed the writer that he struck the first blow with his ax toward building the first Baptist church at Neuhart Ridge. He was always faithful to the church, showing a good, Christian character and living a life admired by all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn his departure a loving companion, one daughter, Mrs. Hannah S. Griffith, one step-son, Geo. E. Trigg, three grandchildren, one step-grandson, four great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

On Sunday, February 16, short services were held at his home after which his remains were followed to the Neuhart Baptist church by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, where the funeral services were held by Rev. W. E. Fletcher, of Jackson ridge, after which his remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Neuhart cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.

There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.

There is no death; an angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved ones away
And then we call them dead.

And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there is no dead.

Goddard, Samuel 20 VA, Martha 42 VA, Joshua 18 VA, Mary 13 VA, Rachel 7 VA, Patterson 5 VA
[Note: Martha Goddard was living with her son.  REH]

SPOUSE: Eliza A. Fair, married in 1852. She was the daughter of Conrad Fair and Rebecca Kerns (Karnes).

RESEARCHER: Denver C. Yoho writes:  Samuel Goddard of California submitted a large history of the Goddard and related families on 13 Nov 1899 when he was 69 years of age. His history has been a great help in researching these families. He probably made these records long after he left Virginia and errors have been found in them.

HISTORY:  THE SAMUEL GODARD LETTER
The following brief history is the memories and relationship of myself, Samuel Godard with the Yoho, Garner, Baker, Goddard, Fair, and many other families.

I was born January 13, 1830 on Fish Creek, three miles above its mouth, in Marshall County, Virginia, now West Virginia.

I wish to state that I was personally acquainted with Henry Yoho, herein mentioned, as I boarded at his home three months while going to school when I was about 10 years old.

The old gentleman would tell me Indian stories, till I was afraid to look out of the window.  One story in particular I wish to relate here.

When he was an especial associate of Louis Wetzel, Adam Poe, Simon Gerty [probably spelled, Girty], and other Indian fighters, and had their headquarters at Fort Wheeling, where the city of Wheeling now stands.

He and five other Indian scouts or hunters started from the fort one morning and rode down to Grave Creek, or Moundsville as it is now called, on a hunt for Indians.  They hunted all day and on their return in the evening about 3 or 4 miles above Moundsville, they were attacked by about a dozen Indians.

The man that was riding in front was shot down, and Henry Yoho was next riding a black mare which was shot through the neck and fell with its rider and falling on his foot, held him fast till the Indians got within ten steps of him, the other four men having fled.

All at once, his horse rallied and sprang to her feet and saved her rider.  As the mare rose, several tomahawks flew past Yoho's head, but he escaped unhurt. The old gentleman told many other Indian stories too numerous to mention.

Henry Yoho --- my great-grandfather on my mother's side, was born about 1765.  Raised one son and six daughters, namely---
George Yoho who married Jane Hartley
Polly Yoho who married Joshua Garner (he being my grandfather, on my mother's side.) (and of English descent)
Rachel Yoho who married James Buchanan
Elizabeth Yoho who married James Brown
Rebecca Yoho who married Nicholas Gatts
Nancy Yoho who married Frank Wykert
Margaret Yoho who married David Twible.

Said Henry Yoho had a brother named Peter Yoho and the two brothers married sisters by the name of Baker---
Henry Yoho married Catherine Baker
Peter Yoho married Margaret Baker.

Peter and Margaret Yoho raised six sons, namely---
John Yoho who married don't know
Henry Yoho who married Miss Buchanan
Louis Yoho who married Miss Cooper
Isaac Yoho who married Miss Mason
William Yoho who married don't know
Jacob Yoho who married don't know.

[The above is from page one. Old Samuel Godard then relates the names of many families in the area and then ends with the following words about the Yohos. Written by Richard E. Henthorn.]

[Note: The following is from Page 8, the last page of the letter.  Written by Richard E. Henthorn]
Now whereas my name appears in this history and all of my other business Godard and all the others Goddard except my brother Joshua is this.

When we were young men, there were three Joshua Goddards that spelled their names all alike and so to make a distinction between them and us, we dropped one of the middle d's out and have so signed our names ever since. Nevertheless, my six sons have adopted the old style of spelling the name, but I shall continue to sign my name short one d the balance of my days.

Now as regards the nationality of the Goddard family---would say--from the best information I can gather from all sources, the name Goddard originated in France and the Goddard people emigrated to England and from there to America and settled, I think, in Eastern PA until the days of John Goddard, my great grandfather, who settled in Western, PA, Greene County, as before stated.

In conclusion, I wish to say with reference to the Yoho family, that I have never heard, in all my life - reading or otherwise, the name of Yoho applied to anyone, except in the person of Henry and Peter Yoho, as before mentioned or their descendants.  I think they were of PA German descent.

They settled in an early day on the Ohio River or Fish Creek near the mouth, in Marshall Co., VA, now WV. and most of their posterity have stayed in the same county ever since.

As a rule the Yoho family was industrious good people and rather inclined to be non-migratory.

From the facts that I have understood, there were seventy-two (72) Yoho voters [who] voted in one precinct, twelve miles square, on the same day, in said county.

Respectfully submitted to whom it may concern.

This 13th day of November, 1899.
                                signed    Samuel Godard

Walter V. Dulaney


Walter V. Dulaney

PARENTS: Thomas Calvert Dulaney and Lucretia Fox

OBITUARY: Walter Dulaney Dies At 103; Was Oldest Resident
Walter V. Dulaney, 103, Greene County's oldest resident, died at 4:15 p.m. Monday in the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Gutberlet, of 1162 Sixth Street, Waynesburg [Greene Co., PA], where he had resided for several years.

Until he became ill three weeks ago he had enjoyed the good health which permitted him to enjoy regular walks and even - on his 103rd birthday last July 30 - attempt a brief horseback ride.

His zest for life was matched only by his fondness for quoting the Bible and by his belief in the value of knowledge.
"A man's born to learn. I learn something new most every day," he told a reporter on his 102nd birthday.

He firmly believed that adherence to Biblical laws was fundamental to a good life.
"It's a wonderful thing to know Christ," he frequently pointed out.

Mr. Dulaney, who could read without glasses, attributed his long life to hard work, abstinence form liquor and tobacco, and regular eating habits. He was interested in those around him and was a frequent visitor at the nearby Greene County Memorial hospital, where he had many friends among the employees.

He was a son of Thomas [Calvert] and Lucretia Fox Dulaney and was born July 30, 1860 on Shannon Run, in Perry Township [Mount Morris, Greene Co., PA]. Until his retirement, he was a farmer, stock raiser and stock dealer.

His father and mother both died in 1879, leaving seven children, of whom he was one of the oldest.

"We older children had to turn out and support the younger ones," he frequently pointed out. All his brothers and sisters are now dead.

His wife, who died in 1947, was Ida L. Headley [Ida Leah Headlee who he married on 7 Feb 1889 in Green Co., PA] of Perry Township.

He was a lifelong member of the Shannon Run Methodist Church, but became affiliated with the Waynesburg Church of the Nazarene when he moved to Waynesburg in 1955.

Surviving are two daughters, Mary Dulaney and Mrs. Martha Gutberlet, of Waynesburg; four sons, F. Ray of Edensboro, [line missing] David H., of Hemet, Calif., and Forney L., of Spraggs; eight grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren.

One son is deceased.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. today (Thursday) in the Mariner and Milliken Funeral Home at Waynesburg with Rev. W. H. Miller, Rev. John Duvall and Rev. Elmer McCormick officiating. Burial will follow in the Claughton [Chapel] Cemetery [Whiteley Twp., Greene Co., PA].

Nancy (Dougherty) Yoho

FATHER: Edward Dougherty

Problem:  Was the surname, Daughtery or Dougherty?  The Ancestral File has Nancy Dougherty.

BIRTH-EMIGRATION-QUESTION: Some researchers say Nancy Doughtery was born in Ireland and accompanied her parents to America.  Can this statement be proven?

MARRIAGE: Abt. 1825, John Yoho
