Notes for SAMUEL SMALL:
Samuel and his family were living in Marden Parish, Kent in 1773. By 1790, they were renting a sizeable farm,
called Great Baynden, in Horsmonden, Kent, for 24 pounds a year. The farm, as of 1992, was owned by John Orbach,
and was as known as Small's Farm, although no Smalls had lived there since 1819. The farm house at Great Baynden
was a large brick structure, begun during the Tudor period and added onto during the Elizabethan and Georgian periods.
Samuel was buried in Marden, Kent, England.

Generation No. 3
4. THOMAS3 SMALL (SAMUEL2, THOMAS1)19,20 was born 1767 in ENGLAND21, and died Bet. 1840 - 1850 in Adams Township,
Ripley County, Indiana, USA22. He married SARAH SANDERS23 November 17, 1796 in Horsmonden, Kent, ENGLAND23,24.
She was born Abt. 1776 in Horsmonden, Kent, ENGLAND25, and died Unknown.
Notes for THOMAS SMALL:
Thomas, according to his marriage records, was a farmer in Mereworth, Kent, before moving to Horsmonden, Kent in
1796. Upon his return to Horsmonden, Thomas assisted his mother in managing the family farm. Within a few years
he appeared on the tax roles as the sole lessee of the farm.
At the time Thomas took over the management of the farm, the land consisted of slightly more than 25 acres. This
acreage may have been less than the farm under Samuel's term, as the annual rent was only 18 pounds in 1811. The
farm was mainly planted in hops.
Thomas apparently was not affected by the agricultural depression southern England suffered in the late 1810s after
the end of the Napoleonic War. In 1819, he moved his family to an 88 acres farm, Little Sheephurst Farm, one mile
north of Great Baynden, in Marden Parish. This move entailed a doubling of the family's rent and tithes.
In England at this time, the Church semi-annually levied a tax to suppoet the poor. In 1790, this tax, in Horsmonden,
was 1 pound. By 1819, this poor tax had increased to L5, 19s, 7d. In 1819, Thomas was also paying a tithe of
L3, 11s, 4d, and an addition levy of L2, 5s on his hops crops. Together, these taxes amounted to more than his
annual rent.
The year 1829 saw very bad harvests, followed on Christmas Day by a heavy snow and cold weather that killed many
plants and trees in Kent. It is likely this turn of events prompted, or reinforced, the family's decision to emigrate
to America. Thomas, and most of his family, left Little Sheephurst Farm in May 1830, and arrived in New York City
on 27 June 1830. (The ship they sailed on was the Mary Howland, which departed out of Liverpool, England. The
crossing took six weeks, according to family legend.) They probably worked off indentures in New York state,
before settling in Ripley County, Indiana about 1831.
Thomas joined the Pipe Creek Baptist Church in Adams Township, Ripley County, Indiana in March 1834. He "related
his experience of mind" at the church meeting of 15 March 1834 and was baptised the next day.
In 1840, Thomas and his wife were noted living in Ripley County, Indiana, with no other persons in their household.

Notes for SAMUEL GEORGE SMALL:
Samuel was christened in St. Margaret's Church in Horsmonden, Kent. He emigrated to America in 1830 with his parents.
On 1 June 1831, Samuel purchased 80 acres of government land, consisting of the west half of the southwest quarter
of Section 5, Township 9 north, Range 13 east, in Adams Township, Ripley County, Indiana.
At the January 1835 meeting of the Pipe Creek Baptist Church in Ripley County, Indiana, Samuel was received into
the church and was baptised. At the October 1839 church meeting, he confessed to drinking. [LDS Microfilm, #1451843,
Items 4-6, Pipe Creek Baptist Church Records, Ripley County, Indiana]
He and his family were noted in Ripley County in the 1840 census. In his household at that time were he and his
wife, a boy 5-10 years old (Thomas), and a girl less than 5 years old (Sarah).
Samuel applied for citizenship in1840 with his final naturalization papers being recorded in August 1844.
On 13 January 1847 Samuel mortgaged 80 acres of land to Robert Sunman for $200. The land used as collateral was
the Samuel's government land in the west half of the southwest quarter of Section 5. Samuel was to repay Robert
Sunman, with interest, by 1 January 1848. The mortgage was witnessed by George Byee and T.W. Sunman, and was recorded

In the 1850 census, Samuel and his family were recorded living in Adams Township, Ripley County, Indiana. At that
time, he was a farmer with $1000 in real estate.
In 1856, Samuel and his family moved to Iowa, probably near Green Mountain, Marshall County, Iowa. In the 1860
census, they are listed in Marshall County, Iowa. At that time, Samuel was a farmer with $150 in personal property.
At some point before 1867, Samuel and his wife moved to West Branch, Pawnee County, Nebraska. (Samuel's son George
went to Nebraska in 1864.) He was buried in West Branch Cemetery in Pawnee County, Nebraska.

Notes for ELIZABETH CLARK:
Elizabeth emigrated to the United States with her parents in 1820. She was active in the Baptist Church, first
joining the church in Indiana at the age of 12. After she and her husband moved to Iowa in 1856, she helped organize
a church at Green Mountain, Iowa. Later, she helped organize a Baptist church in Pawnee County, Nebraska, after
the family relocated there.
Elizabeth died at the age of 80 years, 10 months and 18 days, after being stricken with paralysis. While she apparently
had periods of physical suffering during the last years of her life, her mind remained clear almost to the end.
Her funeral was conducted by Rev. Ballard of Pawnee City at the Lower West Branch (Pawnee County, Nebraska) school
house on the morning of 4 June 1900. The text of the funeral services was "Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints." Elizabeth was buried next to her husband in the West Branch Cemetery in Pawnee
County, Nebraska. The procession of mourners from the funeral to the cemetery was over a mile and a half long.

It is alledged that he was disabled by being poisoned while on duty at Pilot Knob, Missouri in October 1862 and
that in June 1863, he suffered from sunstroke, a head injury, discharge of kidneys, chronic diarrhea and piles,
so that he remained in the camp hospital at the rear of Vicksburg, Mississippi from 1 July to 13 August 1865.
Thomas remained in active service until the end of the Civil War when he was honorably discharged on 26 July 1865

he farmed and raised stock.
In the 1870 census, Thomas and his family were listed in Pawnee City, Pawnee County, Nebraska. Thomas was a farmer.

Notes for MILO ADAM TUCKER:
Shortly after his marriage, Milo moved to Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa. In 1860, Milo and his family lived
in Albion, Marshall County, Iowa, where Milo was a farmer with personal property of $300 and real estate of $3000.
Milo enlisted in Company K of the 23rd Voluntary Infantry from Iowa on 14 August 1862. His wife's brother George
Small was also in the same unit. While serving at Vickburg, Mississippi, Milo met his cousin David Tucker from
Indiana. He was discharged from the army on 9 May 1868. Milo moved to Nebraska after his discharge.
(David Tucker was a minister, son of Rev. William Tucker, son of John Tucker and Margaret. David visted Milo in
Beattie, Kansas and wrote a small editorial for the newspaper denouncing saloons and beer dirnking in Kansas.)
By 1870, Milo had moved to Pawnee County, Nebraska where he was a farmer with real estate of $4300 and personal
property of $819. In the 1875 Kansas census, Milo was noted in Guittard Township, Marshall County, Kansas as a
farmer with $2000 in personal property and 160 acres worth $2000. The 1875 census records suggest Milo raised
wheat, corn, potatoes, sorghum, and owned a quantity of cattle and a few other farm animals (8 horses, 2 pigs).
In 1880, Milo was listed as a hotel keeper in Pawnee City, Pawnee County, Nebraska. Besides his wife and children,
also listed in his household were a neice, Emma Small, and four boarders. This business apparently did not suit
Milo, as he was soon back in Kansas.
By 1885 and continuing at least until 1910, Milo was a meat shop salesman and grocer, living with his family in
Beattie, Guittard Township, Marshall County, Kansas. He owned his home free of mortgage. During his time in Beattie,
Milo served as mayor, city police judge, and postmaster. He helped organize the Methodist church and GAR post.
It was his practice to vote a straight Republican ticket.
In 1915, Milo's son Thomas and his family had moved to Milo's home to care for him. He was buried in Union Cemetery
in Beattie, Marshall County, Kansas.

Notes for GEORGE W SMALL:
George attended public schools in Indiana and Iowa. He relocated to Nebraska in 1864 and homesteaded 160 acres
in Pawnee County, Nebraska. George and his sister Sarah's husband were in the same Army unit during the Civil War.
The two families visited quite frequently.
In the 1870 census, George was listed as a farmer in Township 1, Range 10 of Pawnee County, Nebraska. Also in
his household were his mother, sisters Phebe and Elizabeth, and a 2-year old child, Bertha R Small. In the 1880
census, George was listed in Pawnee City, Pawnee County, Nebraska. Living in his household were his mother, niece
Bertha (12 years old, born in Nebraska, mother born in Iowa), and his sister Elizabeth with her husband and two
children.
In 1900, George and his wife were living in West Branch, Pawnee Precinct, Pawnee County, Nebraska. At that time
they were renting the farm where they lived.
The spring after the opening of the town of Anadrako in Caddo County, Oklahoma, George and his wife relocated to
that town, residing at 210 North Kansas Avenue. George was active in the Christian church and was converted and
united with that church when he was 60 years of age. he served as deacon and then as elder until his hearing became
too impaired to perform those duties.

7. JAMES4 SMALL (THOMAS3, SAMUEL2, THOMAS1)140 was born 1802 in Horsmonden, Kent, ENGLAND141,142, and died 1853
in Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA143. He married JANE ROWE144 Abt. 1829. She was born 1800 in Horsmonden?,
Kent, England145, and died January 14, 1879 in Acton, Marion County, Indiana, USA146,147.
Notes for JAMES SMALL:
James was christened in St. Margaret's Church in Horsmonden, Kent. It is likely he worked on the family farm as
a youth, but about the time of his marriage he was working as a miller at the mill adjacent to the former family
land on Sheephurst Lane. Because his wife Jane was pregnant at the time James' parents and siblings left for America,
James and Jane did not emigrate with them.
In the summer of 1830, James and his wife rented a cottage for L2.10s quarterly. As this was at the high end of
the rent scale at the time, James must have been doing alright financially. The agricultural situation was not
good, though with the recent bad harvest and low crop prices. Agricultural riots occured in Kent in late 1830,
with farm workers' anger directed at millers as well as farmers. In the August 1831 records of his son's baptism,
James' occupation was given as "miller." In May 1832, at his daughter's christening, his occupation
was listed as "servant." James had already sailed for America by that time, so it is unclear if that
was his occupation in the United States, or if he had been laid off from his milling job prior to his departure.
James came to America in 1831, probably arriving in New York from London (or in Philadelphia on 10 October 1831).
He apparently indentured himself to one of the large flour mills in Seneca Falls, New York. On 18 September 1839,
James purchased 7 acres containing the grist mill on Pool's Brook east of Kirkville in Manilius Township, Onondaga
County, New York from Jonathon and Anna Worden for $3400. Unfortunately, with the opening of the Erie Canal, business
dropped off and James defaulted on his mortgage after his first year's payment, loosing his land and investment
to Jonathon Worden at a 22 January 1842 public auction.
James and his family then located in Hamilton County, Ohio. In 1850 the family was living near West Harrison,
Harrison Township, Dearborn County, just across the state line from Harrison, Ohio. In West Harrison, the family
was sharing a house with Alvin G. Febb, a farmer, and his wife and five children. At this time, James may have
worked at Bond's Mill on the Whitewater River near West Harrison.
James is also believed to have operated or worked in a flouring mill in either Metamora or Brookville, Indiana,
on the Whitewater Canal.
James tombstone indicates he died in 1853, although his son Edward's biography states he died in 1861. Edward
also claimed his father was born in 1808. James' will was probated in Hamilton County, Ohio, so he was probably
living there at the time of his death. His estate was valued at $700.

of Shelby County, Indiana, (Chicago: Brandt & Fuller, 1887), p. 535]
Other sources give James' death date as 1853. He was buried in Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA.

Notes for JANE ROWE:
Jane stayed behind in England with her children, while her husband James went to America and saved the money necessary
for their passage. Jane and the children arrived in New York on the Lady Rowena 19 June 1834.
After her husband's death until at least 1860, Jane was living with her son John in Harrison, Hamilton County,
Ohio where she was listed in the 1860 Ohio census as being 60 years of age and born in England. She later lived
with her son Edward in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana, where she met her second husband. Jane died from dropsy
(edema) and was buried beside her husband James in Glen Haven Cemetary, Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio.
After her second marriage, Jane and her new husband (and possibly daughter Mary) moved to Acton, Marion County,
Indiana.
Jane's name may have been Elizabeth Jane as the 1850 census lists her as Elizabeth. The 1860 census and her tombstone
indicate she was born in 1800.

Notes for EDWARD SMALL:
As a young man in Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio, Edward worked as a carriage trimmer. About the time of his
father's death, Edward moved to Mt. Carmel, Franklin County, Indiana, where he was working as a painter and living
in a small hotel in 1860. Shortly after, he moved to Shelby County, Indiana.
According to family tradition, Edward arrived in Shelbyville penniless and attempted to beg a meal at the Morrison
House, a well-known boarding house. While he was originally turned away, Mary Morrison, a daughter of the proprietor and
who would later become his wife, called him back for a meal. Regardless of the truthfulness of the story, Edward
was soon boarding at the Morrison House while working at the McGuire carriage company.
Edward served in the Civil War 20 months as a member of Comapny G, Thirty-seventh Regiment, Indiana Infantry.
He enlisted at Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, Indiana on 15 October 1861, listing Franklin County as his home of
record. During one battle, Edward beceived bullet wounds in the ankle and stomach. He became ill at the Battle
of Stone River (31 December 1862 to 2 January 1863 in Tennesee) and spent considerable time in the hospital before
being discharged on 26 May 1863 for physical disability. His war wounds bothered him for the rest of his life.
While working at the carriage trimming business in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana, Edward met Samuel Hamilton,
a banker, and John Elliot, a financier. With their encouragment, he entered into the confectionary business. Edward
also operated the first five- and ten-cent store in Shelbyville, as well as an extensive news service.
Edward was a charter member of the Board of Directors of the Shelby Building and Loan Association when it was organized
in 1908. He was also a member of the original Board of Members of the Forest Hill Cemetery, founded in 1884. Edward
and his family lived on Tompkins Street in Shelbyville in 1880, moving to 142 West Mechanic Street prior to 1890.
In 1882, Edward became the guardian of his brother David's children. Throughout his life, Edward was a stern and
strict man, and one of his outbursts provoked one nephew to run away, never to heard from again.
Edward died at his Mechanic Street home after suffering some weeks from a complication of diseases. The official
cause of death was listed as heart disease. He was buried in Lot 143, Section 7 of Forest Hill Cemetery in Shelbyville,
Shelby County, Indiana. The undertaker involved in his burial was Ralph Edwards.

a long period of illness. She was remembered as a loving grandmother, having ofter consoled grandchildren after
one of her husband's outbursts. Mary was buried next to her husband in Lot 143, Section 7 of Forest Hill Cemetery

to Harrison, Hamilton County, Ohio, with her remaining niece and nephew, where Mary and her niece Jessie were noted
in the 1900 census. After Jessie's marriage, Mary lived with Jessie and her husband in Harrison, Ohio. Mary was

Illinois. [1870 United States Census, Oblong Township, Crawford County, Illinois]

Notes for LEWIS SMALL:
Lewis was accepted into the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane on 28 December 1900. On 5 June 1902, Lewis
was served a "vacation warrant", which is a warrant issued by the county clerk for a person who is mentally
unstable and considered dangerous. The county sheriff, Henry Hoss, and deputy W.F. Bagot arrested Lewis the same
day and placed him in the county jail in Versailles, Ripley County, Indiana. The county clerk, A.J. Brooks, filed

Notes for HANNAH ANN SMALL:
Hannah died of a kidney infection shortly after the birth of her 11th child. She was buried in Horseshoe Bend
Cemetery in Decatur County, Indiana. [Personal Correspondence, family history document from Jim Howe, p. 301]
Notes for STILLEY MCDONALD:
Stilley was thin man, with black hair that turned white in his later years. He and his family regularly attended
church at the Westport Baptist Church.
It is believed that Stilley was named after a neighbor, Jeremiah Stilley, who lived near the McDonald family in
Jennings County, Indiana. After the death of his parents, Stilley worked as a laborer and lived with Robert Armstrong
in Sandcreek Township, Decatur County, Indiana. After his marriage, Stilley and his family lived west of the village
of Letts in Sandcreek Township. In 1870 he was noted there as a tile factory worker with $400 of personal property.
Some source say that the tile factory was a rough environment where many workers gambled away their paychecks.
In addition to his family, also listed in Stilley's houshold in 1870 was a laborer, Elisha Runyan (age 23, born
in Indiana). By 1880, Stilley was listed as a farmer/laborer in Sandcreek Township, Decatur County, Indiana.
He did not own his own land. By 1900, Stilley owned his farm. Family tradition has it that Stilley's father-in-law,
Edward Small, gave him 40 acres of land as an incentive to stay in the area following his wife's death. Stilley
was listed in "The Inner-State Directory Company's Directory of Greensburg and Decatur County for the Year
1908" with a Sandcreek Township (Westport) address. In 1910, the cesus noted that Stilley owned his farm
free of mortgage.
Stilley's house consisted of only three rooms: a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom. There were two fireplaces,
one used for cooking, and one hidden behind doors designed to look like dressers. A long porch connected all the
rooms, and there was a cellar for storage. As of the late 1990s, the house was still standing on a slight hill
overlooking the small farm, although it had seen some modernizations. A creek ran behind the house and the well
water on the farm was known for its coldness and good taste.
Stilley died of pnuemonia and his funeral was conducted by Rev. W.C. Marshall of Letts at the Westport Baptist
Church. He was buried in Horshoe Bend Cemetery, just east of Westport in Decatur County, Indiana.

Marriage Notes for HANNAH SMALL and STILLEY MCDONALD:
Family tradition hasit that Hannah and Stilley were both shy as youngsters, and that friends tied the two together

together. [Personal Correspondence, family history document from Jim Howe, p. 301]

Notes for THOMAS J CLARK:
Thomas' birthplace was famous as the location of Napoleon Bonaparte's imprisonment after his defeat at Waterloo
in 1815, until his death in 1821. The Island of St. Helena - located half way between Africa and South America
in the South Atlantic - was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, but was first permantently settled by the British
East India Company in 1669. The island remained under the governance of the British East India Company until 1834,
when it became a Crown Colony.
Coincedently, at the time of Thomas' birth, the Governor of the island was Col. Alexander Beaston. He had a keen
interest in improving agriculture on the island, and to that end, in 1810, had six specially selected farm workers
sent out from England. (p. 246) Thomas's father may have been one of those six men. When Col. Beaston returned
to England in September 1813, he retired to a Knole Farm in Sussex, near Tunbridge Wells, and was buried in Frant,
Sussex (p. 262) - the Clark's home parish. [Gosse, Philip, St. Helena 1502-1938, (Toronto: Cassell and Company,
1938)]
While family tradition held that Thomas's father was a soldier on St. Helena, the military records for the island
one show only one John Clarke, an Irishman about 23 years older than Thomas' father. [LDS Microfilm, #2029843,
St. Helena Muster and Pension Rolls, 1810-1816]
The United States Bureau of Land Managment Land Patent records indicate the following purchases in Adams Township,
Ripley County, Indiana by a Thomas Clark:
16 September 1835 - 80 acres in Ripley County, S1/2NW of Section 12, Township 9N, Range 12E
On 10 August 1840, Thomas filed for and was granted citizenship. According to the records, he was 27 years old
in 1840 and was born in "Alena, England." He arrived in New York in May 1820. [Ripley County, Indiana
Historical Society, data from Probate Court Order Book B, p. 223]
Thomas and his wife were noted in the 1840 census in Ripley County, Indiana, with their young daughter under 5
years old (Sarah Jane).
On 1 November 1841, Thomas mortgaged 160 acres of land to John Sunman for $500. The land consisted of an 80 acres
parcel being the south half of the northwest quarter of Section 12, Township 9 north, Range 12 east, and an 80
acre parcel being the north half of the southwest quarter of Section 12, Township 9 north, Range 12 east. Thomas
was to repay the $500 with 10% annual interest by 1 November 1843, and 5 bonds of $100 each were given by Thomas
to John Sunman as part of the transaction. The mortgage was witnessed by John Clark and Robert Sunman, and was
recorded 5 December 1843. Thomas W. Sunman, representing the heirs of John Sunman, acknowledged the full payment
of the mortage on 2 February 1866.
On 3 October 1845, Thomas and his wife sold 80 acres of land to Andrew Towers for $285. The land consisted of
the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter and the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 12,
Township 9 north, Range 12 east in Adams Township, Ripley County, Indiana. The deed was witnessed by George Wortman
and Thomas W. Sunman and was recorded 26 December 1845.
In the 1860 census, Thomas and his family were recorded living near Morris in Adams Township, Ripley County, Indiana.
At that time, Thomas was listed as a (lumber) miller with real property worth $1500 and personal property of $387.
Between 1861 and 1863, Thomas served as administrator for the estate of Dorcas Wortman, a neighboring widow. Thomas
appeared before the Ripley County, Indiana Common Pleas Court on 6 July 1861 to report Dorcas's death and that
her estate was believed to be worth about $500. On 27 July 1861, he filed an inventory, dated 8 July 1861, of
the estate, appraised by Josesph Anderson and Joseph McKee. A public auction of the estate was held on 17 August
1861, with Thomas filing his report of the sale on 21 August. On 15 Septemer 1862, Thomas indicated to the court
that the estate was worth $621 and that a partial settlement had been made. Thomas filed the final settlement
on 21 January 1863. As part of the final settlement, Thomas paid the outstanding money due to the estate out of
his own pocket, and took on the outstanding note the estate had been carrying as a debt due to him personally.
The outstanding note had called for payment in gold and silver, but the debtor could not pay the debt in that
form, and this final arrangement resolved the matter to everyone's satisfaction.
In 1866, Thomas and his family moved to Mission Creek, Pawnee County, Nebraska, where Thomas took up farming and
stock raising. In the 1870 census, Thomas, along with his wife, was listed in Pawnee County, Nebraska as a farmer
with $6000 in property.
In the 1880 census, Thomas, along with his wife and three youngest children, were living in Mission Creek, Pawnee
County, Nebraska. In 1882, Thomas lived on land in Section 32 of Mission Creek, Pawnee County, Nebraska.
Thomas was a devout Baptist and a Republican.
Thomas suffered physically in his last years, but his last hours were peaceful. According to one obituary he died
at home, and according to another he died at the home of his daughter Addie. (Perhaps Addie and her husband had
either taken over the family farm?) His funeral was conducted by Rev. Dr. Duncan of Liberty, Gage County, Nebraska,
and he was buried in Mission Creek Cemetery in Pawnee County, Nebraska. On Thomas' gravestone was the following
verse:
An amiable father here lies at rest
As ever God with his image blest
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of age, the guide of youth.

Thomas evidently served as Justice of the Peace for a time, as he was noted performing the marriage of Ira M Woods

More About SARAH SMALL:
Burial: February 05, 1914, Beattie, Marshall County, Kansas, USA352
Notes for MILO ADAM TUCKER:
Shortly after his marriage, Milo moved to Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa. In 1860, Milo and his family lived
in Albion, Marshall County, Iowa, where Milo was a farmer with personal property of $300 and real estate of $3000.
Milo enlisted in Company K of the 23rd Voluntary Infantry from Iowa on 14 August 1862. His wife's brother George
Small was also in the same unit. While serving at Vickburg, Mississippi, Milo met his cousin David Tucker from
Indiana. He was discharged from the army on 9 May 1868. Milo moved to Nebraska after his discharge.
(David Tucker was a minister, son of Rev. William Tucker, son of John Tucker and Margaret. David visted Milo in
Beattie, Kansas and wrote a small editorial for the newspaper denouncing saloons and beer dirnking in Kansas.)
By 1870, Milo had moved to Pawnee County, Nebraska where he was a farmer with real estate of $4300 and personal
property of $819. In the 1875 Kansas census, Milo was noted in Guittard Township, Marshall County, Kansas as a
farmer with $2000 in personal property and 160 acres worth $2000. The 1875 census records suggest Milo raised
wheat, corn, potatoes, sorghum, and owned a quantity of cattle and a few other farm animals (8 horses, 2 pigs).
In 1880, Milo was listed as a hotel keeper in Pawnee City, Pawnee County, Nebraska. Besides his wife and children,
also listed in his household were a neice, Emma Small, and four boarders. This business apparently did not suit
Milo, as he was soon back in Kansas.
By 1885 and continuing at least until 1910, Milo was a meat shop salesman and grocer, living with his family in
Beattie, Guittard Township, Marshall County, Kansas. He owned his home free of mortgage. During his time in Beattie,
Milo served as mayor, city police judge, and postmaster. He helped organize the Methodist church and GAR post.
It was his practice to vote a straight Republican ticket.
In 1915, Milo's son Thomas and his family had moved to Milo's home to care for him. He was buried in Union Cemetery
in Beattie, Marshall County, Kansas.
