She was born March 15, 1768 in Probably Ireland; could be 1778; or NAULIN, and died December 1, 1849 in North Canton,OH-was once called New Berlin.

Notes for JACOB * HAUER:

A letter to Mr. Richard B. Calhoun in 1945 from a Mr. C.C. Hower in Naperville, IL alleges information I have used re: he and Ann Griffith's Hower ancestors. He states that Jacob Hower was born in 1771 in Lancaster Co., PA, moved to Stark County, (SE of Akron) Ohio about 1809 and died there in 1862 (instead of my date 1863) at age 92! 5 sons & 1 daughter: Jesse, Adam, John, George, Isaac & Margaret (who married David Lawson). Then goes on to say he descended from John (My wife, Ann descended from John's Brother George) who moved from Stark County, OH to a farm near Logansport, Indiana in 1844 where many of his descendants still remain. He also adds one possibly important lead that he had spoken to a Mrs. Grant Hower in Clinton, Illinois. He also states he found out about Nancy Hower in a "History of Wood County" (just south of Toledo), OH. through a biographical sketch of her brother Jacob H. Hower. It said there that she married Adolph Derthick and lived in Illinois.

May 1997, I finally got to Naperville, and to my surprise the Chas. C. Hower's books could not be found at North Central College library where Charles was a professor for many years. The main one "The descendants of Hans HAUER of Neureuth, Germany" was at the Naperville Public library, but the 2nd book, "Other HOWERs", was not there, and I could not find it at the Naperville LDS church library, nor the Naperville settlement historical library.... Still looking.

I was a little dismayed that there is little evidence suggesting the parents of Jacob or Nancy, both lines from there on up are highly speculative, but I did put them here in this data file as they are the best guesses to go on from here.

Apparently Jacob & Nancy are buried at the Zion Cemetery, Sect. 1A, Row 19 in North Canton, Plain Twp., near their son Adam & his wife. I've also had email contact with Barbara Reffner (BarbaraBJR@aol.com) who has a cemetery book listing them also. She descends indirectly from a Hower. More recently (Sept. 2000), I've made contact with Rebecca Robinson Morris who descends from Jacob's son Jesse and his daughter, Ann. Will await to see if any handed down history is available from her.

Notes for GEORGE * HOWER:

Charles C. Hower shows a photo of George & Barbara in his book, which he says was taken in 1868 @ Greensburg, PA when they were attending a Methodist church conference there. He also says that they lived most of their adult lives in Sharon Twp., Medina Co, OH, near Sharon Center, where they moved to in 1838. They moved in later years to Akron, where they are buried in the Akron Rural Cemetery.

Notes for BARBARA * HAINES:

I have an original copy of a letter sent from a Mr.G.L. Long re: an obituary of Mrs. Barbara Hower; It appears to be a ministers notes of what was read at her funeral?

On Dec. 31, 1883 Mrs. Barbara, wife of George Hower, of New Berlin, OH at the advanced age of 78 years, 2 months and 8 days. Mrs. H. was born in Franklin Co. Pennsylvania on the 23rd day of October, 1805, and in 1822 at the age of 17, she accompanied her father Mr. John Haynes to Middleburg (Noble Co- ed.), Ohio. Here she resided with the family of one Mr. Sumner until her marriage. It was about this time that the Ohio State Canal was in process of construction and having heard so much about the great "ditch" Miss Haynes (since Mrs. Hower) in company with a young lady friend walked over the present site of Akron to see at (that date) the greatest wonder of the age. On the 9th day of August, 1827, she was married to Mr. George Hower, a man of sterling merit and sound Christian principles, and who survives to mourn her death and his bereavement. Their union was blessed with 12 children as follows: Mary, Jacob, Nancy, Jesse, Solomon, Daniel, Ellen, Sophia, George, Sarah, Alexander and Irene, five of whom have preceded their sainted mother to the spirit land. From early youth Mrs. H. has been identified with the M.E. Church, and having in childhood espoused the Christian religion she has ever lived an exemplary soldier of the cross fighting the good fight beneath the blood-stained banner of Emanuel until she received the welcome summons; "Tis enough, come up higher." The 56 years of Mrs. H's married life alternating between joys and sorrows, tempest and sunshine, fortune in all its various phases were divided between the following localities: New Berlin, from 1827 to 1829; Sandusky, from 1829 to 1830; Massilion from 1830 to 1839 (during this interval two months were spent in Mansfield); Medina County, from 1839 to 1864; Wood County from 1864 to 1866; Akron from 1866 to 1883, and back in New Berlin from the 28th of September, 1882 til the hour she started on her long journey across the cold cold river beyond which a crown of glory awaited her. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her loss, besides a large circle of friends will long feel the loss they have sustained in her death, whose hand and bounty were ever ready to help the unfortunate, comfort the afflicted and aid the needy. Truly has it been said, "Death loves a shining mark." G. L. Long.

Editorial: Remember New Berlin is now called North Canton, OH, Stark Co, town just North of Canton, OH, and South of Akron. Encyclopedia Brittannica says the name was changed 1917, during WWI due to anti-german sentiment.

DERTHICK, October 29, 1850, Wadsworth, Medina Co, OH; 3 spouses each; b. April 17, 1826, Portage Co, OH; or Rudolph ?; d. November 19, 1906, Dallas Co, Iowa; see Notes; m. (2) BENJAMIN F.

January 10, 1823, OH - He is Nancy's 3rd husband may be ETHERTON; d. April 16, 1888, Clinton, IL.

Notes for NANCY * LOUISE HOWER:

Her obituary in the Feb 25, 1897 Clinton Register weekly Newspaper Read:

"Mrs. Nancy Eatherton died early Tuesday A.M. @ her home on E. Washington St., aged 64 Yr., 4 Mo. & 21 Days. Her husband, P. H. Eatherton, died 9 years ago in this city. Her children were Mrs. W.F. Calhoun, of Decatur, and Mrs. Walter Harris, of Clinton. She had been afflicted with diabetes, but was not considered in danger until 3 weeks ago. Funeral services were held @ the M.E. Church yesterday conducted by the pastor. Interment in Woodlawn cemetary." Also I cannot find any Wadsworth, OH.

The obituary of her daughter Blanche Calhoun states she arrived in Abington, IL in March 1860 with both parents (Rudolphus & Nancy) and later moved to Seneca, IL.; another source says she arrived with Mother only (suggesting the loss of father) prior to moving to IL?

I have taken Photos of the Gravesite next to Mr.P. Eatherton. The stones appear much newer than 1897, so I am trying to find which family member placed them. Pat Flesher seems to not know who is responsible, but she recalls visiting the grave as a child. I suspect the children of Mr. Eatherton may be those most knowledgeable but I have not found any of them in the area. Note Mrs. Walter Harris (Julia Foster Drake) mentioned as her other child above was from Nancy's 2nd husband Benjamin Drake.

See notes from Jack Spencer's book "Derthicks & related Derricks" for information on Rodulphus Derthick, and also papers Mr. Spencer mailed me.

Dec, 1994. I have obtained the 1850 census from Summit Co.OH, which is Akron, OH. It shows Nancy, age 17 living in a boarding house apparently working for room (& board) owned by some factory (name I cannot read..looks like Perteiars Factory. says she was born in Ohio, Parents not shown. The same year, her parents and younger sibs are shown on the Medina Co. Sharon Twp. OH census: George & Barbary (clearly shows a "y" at the end) both age 44 and from Pennsylvania, Pepe (?) 17, Solomon 14, Maria 11, Sophia 8, Geo. 7, Margaret 5, & Irene 1. This list compared to the old list written prior to Richard B. Calhoun is very similar, but there are some names different. Interesting to note that the only children born in Ohio were the older ones Pepe & Nancy (I question that Pepe was not a servant or hired hand probably rather than a child of theirs), and that all the other children were listed as born in Pennsylvania. So I assume that unless Nancy was adopted that George must have moved first from PA to OH, back to PA and again back to OH by 1850. From the ages of the children it would appear that they lived in OH around 1833 but in PA between 1836 to 1849.

I found the only known photo of her in Pat Flesher's basement, on a card, the back of which said: "Grandma Etherton (w/o "a"). Unfortunatly I must admit I cannot be sure this is Nancy however, as it is possible it could be Mr. Etherton's first wife? There is no actual name on the back. It also says in pencil: "i thik she looks like her Father don't you. This is after she had her hair cut." What probably makes it more likely to be Nancy is 1.found in Pat's basement, which I assume handed down by Blanche 2.)Photo company was City Gallery, Jenkinson Bros., Seneca, ILL

1832 - Born Oct. 2, in Ohio - either Mansfield or Massillon

1850 - Oct. 29th married Rodolphus DERTHICK at Wadsworth, Medina Co, OH

1852 - Feb. 16, only known child of that marriage = Blanche

1860 - Arrived to Abington, Illinois in March 1860 - uncertain whether Blanche came to Illinois at age 8 with mother only or both parents?

1861-64 - We know that Rodolphus was in the Civil War, but don't know if he was still married to Nancy then. - he allegedly enlisted in 1863 from Lyons, Iowa -

but one story is that he was in Wheeling West VA (then still VA) from 1855-1861 and 1st enlisted in 1861 from there. - He was injured in 1864 -

If the West VA story is true, then it is unlikely Nancy & He were still married when Nancy & Blanche came to Illinois.

1864 - Nov. 3 - married Benjamin F. DRAKE @ LaSalle Co, Illinois - marriage record Vol. C, Lic# 3001 - Blanche was 12 years old when mother md. 2nd husb.

1869 - 1st daughter, Blanche married an apprentice Dentist, Wm. F. CALHOUN in LaSalle Co, IL -also Nancy's 2nd daughter, Julia Foster DRAKE was born.

1870 - Census - LaSalle, Co, IL- Allen Twp. -Roll 243, Page 024A w. Benjamin and an 8 year old daughter from his 1st marriage looks like Lucinda or Larinda?

1875 - Benjamin Drake died April 17th, at or near Farmers City, IL - Blanche had been married to William Calhoun 6 years by then.

1879 - Nov. 18 - married 3rd and last husband Philip H. EATHERTON at Clinton, Blanche was then 24 years old then, nancy was 47 yrs. old.

1888 - Philip died April 16th at Clinton IL (DeWitt Co), Nancy is then 55 when her 3rd husband died.

1891 - her 2nd daughter, Julia Foster DRAKE marries Walter G. HARRIS on Dec. 24, 1891 at DeWitt Co, IL.

1897 - Feb. 20, Nancy dies at Clinton at age 64 of diabetes - living on East Washington St.,

1906 - 1st husband Rodolphus (Blanche's Father) dies in Iowa at age 80.

Event 2: Ohio after Rudolph Derthick died.

Notes for RODOLPHUS * C. DERTHICK:

Rodolphus C. Derthick is discussed at length in the genealogy book:

DERTCHICKS & RELATED DERRICKS by Spencer & Goodpasture. Mail correspondence to: Jack T. Spencer, 1303 Azalea Lane, DeKalb, IL 60115. Unfortunately there are several divergences from information I had previously; but I am certain that this is the same person due to names of his siblings & their locations are equivalent in most respects making too much of a coincidence to not actually be the same person. See daughter Blanche's scrapbook for a scan of a paper Blanche must have written listing her Derthick ancestry.

Sept.1992: Mr. Spencer mailed me several very interesting papers about the Derthicks including Civil war material & pension papers. Apparently he suffered a Major head trauma on July 22, 1964 at NickO Jack Creek, GA which hospitalized him for several months. On other papers he mentions marriage to Nancy Howe (spelled various ways: Howe, Howell, Howard, HOWER ?) and says from that marriage that he had one daughter who was stillborn and one who was still alive (on marriage records in 1880)

The Iowa State Dept. of History states he is buried in Pine Hill Cem., Saylor Township, Polk County, IA, wife then Elizabeth (HOUSE) she died in 1909 also in Polk Co.

Page 386 of the Derthick book states: He, like his older brothers James & Corydon, became a Cooper (Barrel maker). His first marriage is listed as Nancy House but this is obviously a typo error since that is the same last name as his 3rd wife, and on Page 140 the author lists her name as Howell; Our records show her name was HOWER. It goes on to say that there were no surviving children from that 1st marriage (but we know better in the birth of Blanche), and this may have been a factor in Rodolphus' entry in the military service Dec. 23, 1863 at Lyons, Iowa. It tells about his next 2 marriages. A letter written by his Step-daughter suggests he actually first enlisted earlier: "Father said that he went to Wheeling Virginia(WV) in 1855 and stayed there til 1861. "A nigger and him swam the Ohio at Wheeling and went and enlisted". "The rebels had guards all on the Virginia side and to get away in the dark he passed through Ohio and went and enlisted at a place called Lacon and was attached to Genl. Herbert's Brigade". He served one year in that. He came to Iowa and enlisted in the Iowa Crocker Brigade. He was under Genl. McPherson and in all the battles from Grand Gulf and ended up at Greensboro, NC with the surrender of Gen. Johnson. Ever since the close of the war he has lived within 20 or 25 miles of Des Moines." The author of the book adds that the documents on file in the Natl. Archives reveal only his service after he enlisted in Iowa in 1863. Earlier history mentioned in the book shows It appears that Rodolphus left home (Portage Co.OH) in 1855, which was the year his Father died and sought employment at Wheeling, WV. At the outbreak of the CWar, he found himself in Confederate Territory and was forced to swim the Ohio River to escape to the Yankee side. He served a year in General Herbert's Brigade, but for some reason this period doesn't show on his war record. When Rodolphus enlisted in 1863 with Co. A, 16th Iowa Infantry, he was described as 6 Ft. tall, with Gray hair and Hazel eyes. He was 37 yrs old - much older than most of his peer recruits. The book explains, Rodolphus' military action indicates he saw considerable action in 1864 & 65 including the sieges of Kenesaw Mtn., Atlanta & Vicksburg. Hower his active service was interrupted several months by an exploding shell on 20 (or 22) of July 1864. The shell fragment struck him on the back of his head and he was hospitalized from July 1864 to February 1865. Later entries on the record indicate he "sustained permanent injury, deafness, and mental depression". The exact location of his injury was listed variously as "near Atlanta", or at "Nickajack Creek" in Georgia. He was mustered out of the service at Louisville, KY July 19, 1865. It appears he returned immediately to Iowa since the pension records show he lived in Clinton Co, IA to 1866, Dallas Co, to 1877 & Polk Co, IA after 1877.

Notes for PHILLIP H. EATHERTON:

He is listed in a Dewitt Co. Historical book as alderman of the 1st Ward in the city of Clinton (East side) in 1875-76. The only photo I found of Nancy had it spelled ETHERTON (w/o "a"). There is a man living in Clinton now named Terry Etherton; I've approached him, but he doesn't seem to know anything about his ancestry.
