In the fall of 1811, James FISH, his wife, two children, Mrs. STANTON, his wife's mother, and Moses FISH, his cousin, moved in an ox team to Ohio and stopped at Newburg. Brooklyn at this time was a wild forest full of the red man, the township had been surveyed and run into quarter sections by agents who lived in Connecticut. James and Moses FISH thought they would look at these lands. James selected a good piece and Moses selected a quarter section. James built a log cabin and his family moved into it, but becoming frightened by Indians, went back to Newburg. Other families coming, they moved again to Brooklyn. Moses wrote to his brother Ebenezer, in Connecticut, to come and take one-half his land, which he did. A road (now Denison avenue) was run from Newburg to Rockport, which divided the property of the FISHES. They built a log cabin, in which they lived till the war of 1812. Ebenezer enlisted for six months and came out with honors. Afterward Moses was drafted. His health being poor, Ebenezer took his place and served the remainder of the war. He went back to Connecticut, married Miss Johanna STANTON, a smart, worthy woman who, on hearing of his Ohio farm, proposed moving there. Accordingly in 1818, with their two children, Eliza and Emily (afterwards Mrs. CORBIN and Mrs. BOOTH), his two brothers, and their families came in a large wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen. They all built and lived in log cabins.

Two other children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer FISH, Johanna (now Mrs. FOWLS), and John Moses married Miss BRAINERD. They endured hardships and discomforts long before enjoying the ordinary pleasures of existence. Fever and ague also added to the trials of the first settlers. Ebenezer was ninety-three when he died.
----"Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve"

Ebenezer and Moses Fish, who came with James from the East, settled upon 80 acres of land in Brooklyn, in 1812. Ebenezer located on the north side of what is now Denison Avenue and Moses on the south side. Neither was then married.

DEATH: Was sick with a fever for four or five days, then died.

"Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve", 1896
Mentions that Abigail and Michael Foster arrived in Cuyahoga County with 11 children and specifies 5 female names (Eveline, Sally, Eunice, Nancy, and Matilda). This child's name has not appeared in any books or documents, thus far searched.
[UPDATE: The name Lydia is mentioned in a book by Ebenezer Foster, "Early Days of the Pioneers Cuyahoga County and Brooklyn Township", 1880.
"A short time after father was married, they moved about twenty miles away, rented a house somewhere between Norwich and Preston City and kept a grocery store. While there, they lost their second born, a little girl, Lydia Foster."]

I originally had Sally's birth year estimated at 1813, but if her marriage date is correct, she would have been far too young to marry, especially to a man who was 45 at the time. It is more likely that she is one of the older children of Michael and Abigail and probably born prior to 1807.

MARRIAGE: She married Lathrop Pixley per LDS records in the IGI for 06 OCT 1825 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

MARRIAGE: FOSTER, SALLY and PILEY, LATHROP vol.0002 pg.0075 (Cuyahoga County Marriage Index)


Had nine children, six of whom survived to adulthood, per a book written by her brother, Ebenezer, titled: "Early Days of the Pioneers", 1880.

According to the Brainard Genealogy by Lucille Brainerd, he lived in Concord near Painesville, Ohio but I show him as owning and living on a parcel of land on the south side of Denison Ave east of W14th St. He appears in the 1840, 1850, and 1860 census in Brooklyn Township. I am reasonably certain that her enteries in the book for Concord are an error. All of his children would have been born in Brooklyn and not Concord as she states. She also says that Charles W. is adopted. I have no further information on him.

The FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 provides an estimated birth year of 1810 and place as Hinckley, Medina, Ohio. That location seems unlikely because her father is listed in the 1820 census in Groton, Connecticut. Another entry estimates her birth for 1814. I've chosen to use that one since her brother, Ebenezer was born in 1810.


Four children.

The 1860 Census has a couple, Albert and Charlotte, and their five children living in Wingville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Albert is a stone mason. Their ages seem appropriate and two of their children are shown as having been born in Ohio. None of the children are named Alonzo, though. He would have been 15 years old in 1860. Old enough to be out on his own? The five children are named: Elizabeth (age 14 - Ohio), Naeiah E. (age 9 - Ohio), Cecilia M. (age 5 - Wisc.), Oliver L. (age3 - Wisc.), Henry B. (age 5/12 - Wisc.). If this is, in fact, the right family, then it would appear that Albert and Charlotte moved from Ohio by 1854/55.

His wife died in 1865 in Montfort, Wisconsin which is just a short distance east of Wingville.

In the 1870 Census, Albert would already be dead, but there is an Alonzo, age 25 and born in Ohio, living in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is a stone mason. The next name is hard to make out. Might be Jennie, age 19. Another female, age 15 named Alia. Are these siblings rather than a husband and wife?

In the 1910 Census, Alonzo is living in Boulder, Colorado with wife Dora and two sons, Wesley and Wilber. Dora is shown as being the mother of 5, with 5 still living though only two are living with them.

RESIDENCES:
1850 - Brooklyn, Cuyahoga, Ohio (probably on Newburgh St -- now Denison Ave.)
1860 - Wingville, Grant, Wisconsin (probably moved here about 1854)
1867 - Mt. Vernon, Black Hawk, Iowa (probably moved here in 1865, after his wife died, to be with his son)

There is no solid proof at this time that this Hannah is the one who was married to Lewis Fowles, however, the 1900 census lists his wife as a 75 year old and shows that she was born in Dec 1824, the same month and year that Ebenezer Fish's daughter, Hannah, was born.

MARRIAGE: Possible record for this union: FISH, HANNAH and FOWLS, LEWIS 0004 0285

This quote provides the confirmation that Hannah (Joanna) DID marry into the Fowls/Fowles family:
"Two other children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer FISH, Johanna (now Mrs. FOWLS), and John Moses married Miss BRAINERD. They endured hardships and discomforts long before enjoying the ordinary pleasures of existence. Fever and ague also added to the trials of the first settlers. Ebenezer was ninety-three when he died."----Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve

BIOGRAPHY:
From "Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch County, Mich." pg.510:
"Levi Fish was but eighteen months old when the sad event of his mother's death deprived him of her care. He was reared on his father's farm until he was seventeen years of age, at which time his father died, and he then went to learn the trade of carpenter and joiner, having four brothers working at the same trade. He was an active, capable, energetic youth, soon gained the mastery of his calling, and in a few years had laid up money enough to become independent, when he married, in April, 1847, Miss Elizabeth Sawtell. She was born in England, and came with her parents to the United States, and they having a large family of children to support, she was adopted by a family by the name of Sawtell, by whom she was raised as their own. Her original name was Mosey."



BIOGRAPHY: An article from the Coldwater, MI newspaper, dated February 28, 1908, that details the life of Levi Fish and Elizabeth Mosey. Per the article, Levi was born in Brooklyn Township, Cuyahoga County Ohio July 31, 1821, the fourth son of twelve children (no mention of parent's names or other sibling's names). He married Elizabeth Mosey, April 30, 1846 (no mention of location, but presumably in Cuyhoga County). Elizabeth was born February 13, 1827 in Yorkshire, England. They came to Branch County, MI on March 15, 1869, where they purchased the land that they still live on (in 1908). At the time of the article, they had lived on the farm near Marble Lake (section 32) for thirty nine years. Levi and Elizabeth had four children, one of whom died in infancy. Those living are Fred Fish of Coldwater, and Mrs. Maria A. Luse and Mrs. Ida Corless, both living near their parents in Quincy, MI. The article also states that five days after the fall of Fort Sumpter, Levi enlisted in the artillery branch of the service. He was at the battle of Carrick's Ford.

The 1860 census lists Levi as being 28 and his wife as 31, but if that were true, then he was only 15 when his first daughter was born. The census is most likely wrong.

In 1870, Levi was living with his daughter, Maria, and son-in-law, DeWitt Luce in Michigan.

In 1850, lived with Eliza Fish Corbin (his 1st cousin) and Elihu Corbin. Calista is also in the household under her maiden name. By 1860, Moses is living in Newburgh with Calista and his family.

Lydia Hook - Obituary

Lydia Hook, wife of Stephen Hook (deceased) May 6th, 1885. Mrs. Hook was born in Connecticut Feb. 21st, 1821; married July 5, 1841; came to Wisconsin in the fall of 1842; has resided in the town of Oregon about 40 years. She had been a christian from childhood, and a member of the M. E. church over 50 years. She was a kind neighbor and retained the confidence of all who knew her. She evinced the fact that a christian life - a life measuring up to the profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ - is the sweetest and best on earth. Her last words to her children were, "meet me in Heaven." She suffered much during her illness but bore up with great fortitude. Seven children - four boys and three girls, - with many relatives, mourn their loss. The funeral took place from the Brooklyn church May 8th, conducted by the pastor, C. C. Swartz.

Married to George Webb Mallory

SOURCE_OF_NAME: At the time of the 1850 Census, there is no Julia listed with for Lathrop and Sally Foster ( though she may be living elsewhere), but by the time of the 1870 Census, she is shown living with Leonard Pixley and his wife, Alice. She is listed simply as Julia, so the assumption is made that she is a Pixley. She is about 6 years older than Leonard, so may have been born in 1829. If so, it means her mother may only have been 16-17 years old at the time she was born. An alternative theory is that she was the wife of one of Leonard's brothers who has passed on so she came to live with her in-laws.

BIOGRAPHY: Hanna A. FOSTER, daughter of Betsey HULET FOSTER, should not be omitted from this memorial, originated and sponsored by Cleveland women, with whom she has long been intimately associated, and by whom she is admired and loved. A valued member of the Ohio Woman’s Press Club, a poet of more than local reputation, gentle, refined, and unselfish to the degree of immolation, her life has been one of devotion to others. At the celebration of Cleveland’s Centennial birthday, she easily won the prize offered for the best written ode for the occasion. As non de plumes were signed to all the poems, the judges had no idea to whom they belonged until after a decision had been reached.
Miss FOSTER’s dainty verse and prose have not only graced the pages of print, but have contributed much to the pleasure of church anniversaries and college reunions in the town in which she resides.

BIOGRAPHY: FOSTER, LEONARD GURLEY (10 Sept. 1840-13 Dec. 1937) was a CIVIL WAR veteran whose avocation brought him the epithet, "the Buckeye poet." Born on the family homestead in the Cuyahoga Valley near Denison Ave., he was educated at HUMISTON INSTITUTE and Berea College. He was principal at Tremont School from 1860-64, after which he served with the 8th Ohio Battery on Johnson's Island. Foster also actively worked the family farm, which inspired many of his verses on nature. A veteran of the first Chautauqua meeting in 1874, he remained active in the movement as a speaker and contributor of poetry. He wrote an estimated 80,000 verses in his lifetime, including 47 volumes of poems in manuscript which he presented to the WESTERN RESERVE HISTORICAL SOCIETY His published volumes included Whisperings of Nature (1893) and The Early Days: A Pioneer Idyl (1911). Many of his poems were also published in the CLEVELAND NEWS and the CLEVELAND TIMES (1922) . He was the first clerk of the Brooklyn Village council and the second last survivor of the Brooklyn Post, G.A.R. Married to Lyde Holmden, Foster was survived by one of their 3 children. His brothers Edwin J. and Henry E. were Cleveland lawyers, the former having published verse and the latter a 1900 political campaign tract. His sister Hanna Alice Foster was a temperance worker and poet as well.

BIOGRAPHY: First village recorder for Brooklyn Village (Centre), Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

BIOGRAPHY: Note -- there seems to be some confusion about the siblings of these Foster poets. See notes for Edwin J. Foster (son of Nathan Foster) for further mention of this problem. Leonard, the son of Ebenezer who lived near Denison Ave., would have been born in the location as stated above, but to my knowledge, there were no siblings named Henry or Hanna, while Nathan Foster did have children with those names, but no Leonard. Very confusing.

The 1860 Census has a couple, Albert and Charlotte, and their five children living in Wingville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Albert is a stone mason. Their ages seem appropriate and two of their children are shown as having been born in Ohio. None of the children are named Alonzo, though. He would have been 15 years old in 1860. Old enough to be out on his own? The five children are named: Elizabeth (age 14), Naeiah E. (age 9), Cecilia M. (age 5), Oliver L. (age3), Henry B. (age 5/12).

In the 1870 Census, Albert would already be dead, but there is an Alonzo, age 25 and born in Ohio, living in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is a stone mason. The next name is hard to make out. Might be Jennie, age 19. Another female, age 15 named Alia. Are these siblings rather than a husband and wife?

In the 1910 Census, Alonzo is living in Boulder, Colorado with wife Dora and two sons, Wesley and Wilber. Dora is shown as being the mother of 5, with 5 still living though only two are living with them.

OLD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LIVED IN O'BRIEN COUNTY, IA
Compiled by Geo W. Schee and O.H. Montzheimer
1909, Primghar, IA
Prepared for the Internet by Don Harrington

The Book, "Old Soldiers Who Have lived in O'Brien County, Iowa" was published in 1909. Mr Montzheimer did most of the work and Mr Schee furnished most of the funds for publication, printing and postage. It appears that the book was not sold, but a copy was furnished free to each veteran's family. The information on these approximately 500 veterans provide much information on their families in addition to providing their military records. I wish to thank Colleen Boose for making a copy of the book available to me so that it could be placed on the O'Brien website.

To make a record of the death of young Sam F. Hengstler, the night telegraph operator here, which occurred shortly after nine o'clock, while attending to the regular duties of his office on that night. There were frequent and heavy flashes of electricity coming into the office, and once or twice had set papers on fire, and which he had succeeded in putting out, by the aid of Mr. Albert Hook of Oregon, who was in the depot, waiting for the 9 o'clock train, to go north. He once asked Mr. Hengstler if he had broken a lamp chimney, and was told that it was lightning that had exploded in his office. Soon more papers were on fire and Mr. Hook rushed in to extinguish these which he did by throwing them upon the floor and stamping the fire out. Sam (as he was familiarly called) stooped down with his hand resting upon the table, to remove some papers that were yet on fire in the little cupboard under his table. He had scarcely commenced to do so when another bolt came and knocked him senseless upon the floor. Mr. Hook kept calling to him, asking if he was hurt &c., and when he had got the fire out, took hold of him to raise him up but was astonished to find him yet insensible, and carried him out into the sitting room, where other persons were in waiting. Finding that something must be done, sent up town and Doctor Evans responded without any delay. The Dr. applied restoratives but noticing that his pulse was gone pronounced him dead. He was taken to the Central House, where he was properly laid out and placed in a refrigerator.
The bolt struck him in the region of the heart, passed diagonally across his bowels, down his right leg and passed off at three or four places in his shoe. His friends--a widowed mother, brothers and sisters--live at North Freedom, and to whom telegrams were sent, as well as to a brother, an operator at Sleepy Eye, Minn. A reply from the latter was received in fifteen minutes, stating that someone would be there by the first train. The 9:25 a.m. express brought a brother and brother-in-law from North Freedom and returend with the remains by the afternoon train. By request of the brothers, prayer was offered before the corpse was removed, by Rev. F. M. Washburn, of the F. W. Baptist church.
That it was sad, does not adequately express the feelings of his young associates here; they had learned to love him for his mental and moral worth. He was a German by birth; was 19 years of age, and had been night operator here four months. Agent Potter did all he could to inform the young man's friends, and in procuring the necessary means for refrigerating the body; likewise the same from day operator Frank Rowley. Other Thanks are expressed elsewhere.

2. 398. Dorothy Helen FOSTER   b. 8 Jul 1902, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio; d. 13 Mar 1977, , Medina, Ohio.

BIOGRAPHY: FOSTER, CLAUD HANSCOMB (23 Dec. 1872-21 June 1965), automotive inventor, industrialist, and philanthropist, was born in the Cleveland suburb of Brooklyn to George and Julia Wells Foster. In 1891, he opened a machine shop, playing the trombone for 11 years in the Euclid Ave. Opera House orchestra to support his business. In 1896, Foster became an automobile dealer, selling the Cleveland-built General, in 1900 also acquiring Peerless and Ajax automobile agencies. Foster developed the Gabriel Horn, a multitone automobile horn powered by exhaust gases, starting the successful Gabriel Co. in 1904. Foster then patented his "Snubber" automotive shock absorber in 1914, capitalizing its production at $1 million.

From 1920-25, the Gabriel Co. earned annual profits of more than $1 million, selling 75% of all shock absorbers marketed in the world. Foster developed an employee profit-sharing incentive program, between 1917-25 paying his employees more than $600,000 in addition to their salaries. He sold the Gabriel Co. in 1925 to Otis & Co. for $4 million, only half the company's evaluated price, and remaining the company's chairman 1928.

Known as the "Doctor of Car Riding," Foster was often consulted by manufacturers when new car models developed riding difficulties. Throughout his career, Foster made numerous large anonymous gifts to hospitals and charitable institutions. On 22 July 1952, he announced to the heads of 16 educational and charitable institutions that he was dividing the bulk of his wealth, almost $4 million, among them. Married to Emma Schultz on 2 May 1894, Foster had 2 sons, Earl and Daniel. Foster is buried in RIVERSIDE Cemetery.

-----------------

Gabriel Snubbers -- This consisted of a housing that contained a belt wound into a coil. It was kept under tension by a spring. The housing was fastened to the frame and the outer end of the belt was attached to the axle to limit the degree of rebound from a jolt.l Co. started operation in 1906 making accessory auto horns. The founder, Claude H. Foster, named his firm after the horn-tooting angel Gabriel. When the pushbutton horn came along in 1914, it killed the Gabriel and all other body-mounted horns. Foster looked for a product to keep his company in business and came across the Snubber.

---------------------
Claud H. Foster loved to tinker with things. He loved to put things together and take things apart. He did this well with automobiles, except for one thing: the horn. So he decided to invent a fool-proof horn using the concept of a trombone, calling it "Gabriel's Horn." He started the Gabriel Company from $1,500 he had saved up. The time came when he decided to retire. An investment firm offered him $10 million for the company. But he knew if he took their bid, a lot of stock holders in his company would lose their money. He also knew that because of some expiring patents, it wasn't worth that much money. He said this, "Over the years I have come to realize that nothing we earn, none of the things we accumulate belongs to us. While on this earth we are merely stewards or trustees for God's resources." So Mr. Foster decided to sell his company for the fairer price of $4 million. He had such joy and peace doing that, that he decided to do something else. He threw a big party with his friends who worked in an orphanage and in a hospital. Then that night he gave the $4 million dollars away. He said he has never regretted it, and has found great peace and thankfulness in his life just thinking about it. He said it was "the best party I ever had." There is a joy and peace that comes in giving to others.

Obituary -

Floyd Hook, 62, Dies in Seattle
Music Dealer Left City 10 Years Ago

Floyd B. Hook, 62, former Madison music dealer, died Dec. 29 in Seattle, Wash., after a brief illness with pneumonia.
Mr. Hook left Madison for the west coast about 10 years ago. Born in Oregon Apr. 7, 1880, he was in the music business at Baraboo several years before coming to Madison in September, 1912, to establish Hook Brothers Piano Co., which for many years occupied the corner store at State and W. Mifflin sts.
A civic leader and outdoor sports enthusiast, Mr. Hook in 1927 donated a piano and phonograph as grand prizes for the Dane county girl and boy doing the best agricultural club work. He was inspired to make the gift by talks of state and county club leaders before the Madison Rotary club, of which he was an early member. In the same year he was elected vice president of the Wisconsin Association of Music Merchants.
In Seattle he lived at the Lowell apartments, 8th and Spring sts.
Survivors are his widow and two brothers, Harley, formerly of Madison, and Carroll, Janesville.

Last Tuesday evening about forty young people were entertained at the pretty country home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith, in honor of their son and bride, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Caddie Smith. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene C. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lindley. The dining room was prettily decorated with ferns and flowers, and was in charge of Miss Honor Stair. The table was decorated with white satin ribbon and ferns. Delicious refreshments were served by the Misses Hazel Hankinson and Ethelyn Smith; Misses Maud Gillies and Nettie Knudtson presided over the chocolate urn. A musical and literary program was a pleasant feature of the evening's entertainment. The married ladies were entertained at the Smith home on Wednesday afternoon.

Brooklyn Man Is
Killed In Collision


Harry Hook, 71, Brooklyn, was killed Tuesday night when his car collided with a semi-trailer truck 4 miles south of Oregon on Highway 14.
Mr. Hook was killed instantly, according to Dr. David C. Atwood, Dane county coroner. The truck had started to pass a car and house trailer when Mr. Hook's car rounded the curve just ahead of the truck, according to witnesses.
The car driven by Mr. Hook was demolished by the impact, which drove it partly under the trailer. It struck the trailer's rear wheels, shearing them partially off.
The truck, owned by the Brady T and S Truck Co., was driven by Eugene W. Von Bank, Ft. Dodge, Ia., who was uninjured. He was hauling several tons of lobster from Chicago to Minneapolis.
Mr. Hook was driving home, according to Robert Hickman and Emil Schmale, Dane county traffic officers, who investigated.
Mr. Hook is survived by his wife and two sons, Leslie, Brooklyn, and Ansel, Cambridge.
