| 702 | From Ear to Ear. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. Danville, Ill., September 19. - About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit. This morning Clem met William Watson, one of Gritton's witnesses in a suit which terminated unfavorably to Clem, and they engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, when Gritton, who was sowing wheat in a field near by, came over to help Watson. Clem at once made for him with the result as stated above. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Missouri. Friday, 20 September 1878, page 3. | Gritton, Milo B. (I427)

| 705 | From Find a Grave: Among the business interests which contribute to the prosperity and commercial activity in New Moorefield is that conducted by Mr Yeazell, dealer in flour, grain, coal and feed. He has labored earnestly to secure a good trade and his business methods have ever been such as would bear the closest investigation and scrutiny for he has strict regard for commercial ethics. He was born in the township of Moorefield October 14, 1836, and is a son of George and Elizabeth (Jones) Yeazell. Upon the home farm his boyhood days here passed in the usual manner of lads of the period and in the district schools he mastered the branches of learning usually taught in such institutions. He had passed his twenty-first birthday when he started out in life upon his own account, by operating rented land. He had been married on the l0th of November 1857 in Pleasant township, Clark county, to Miss Sarah T Ferguson. a daughter of Joseph and Jane (Neer) Ferguson, who lived in Pleasant township until 1890. In 1870 Mr Yeazell purchased land becoming a the owner of a farm of one hundred and fifty acres in Pleasant township and there he continued to live until 1890, during which time he erected two barns upon his place and remodeled the house. He still owns the farm, which is a good one of the county. In the year mentioned, he purchased the mill prroperty at New Moorefield. It was then equipped with the old fashioned burrs but he at once put in a roller process and has developed a paving business. In 1901 he further remodeled the plant, putting in a sifter system in place of the reel system. The mill is operated by water power and has a capacity of fifty barrels per day. Mr Yeazell has a large sale for the Royal flower which he manufactures and he also deals in grain, coal and feed having a liberal patronage. Unto our subject and his wife have been born four children, but two of the number died in infancy. Charles born in September, 1858, passed away, in September, 1893. He was married in Missouri to Miss Emma Miller studied law in Springfield and was achy fitted to the bar. He was so ambitious that while pursuing his studies he did not take the needed time for rest and recreation, his health became impaired and he lived but a few months after he became a practicing lawyer. He left two children, Leona and Edwin, the latter being now a partner with his uncle at Columbia, Missouri in a shoe store there. Lena G born June 16, 1875, is at home with her parents. Mr Yeazell cast his first presidential vote in 1860 for Bell. He had been reared in the Whig faith and after his first vote was cast he became a Republican and has since voted with the party. For nine years he has filled the office of justice of the peace discharging his duties with fairness promptness and impartiality. Although he has tried many cases none have ever been appealed. He has been a trustee of Pleasant township for a few years, but is not a politician in the sense of office seeking, his business claiming the greater part of his time. Formerly he was connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Catawba. It will be interesting in this connection to note something of the family history of Mr Yeazell. His father was George Yeazell, who was born in Virginia and was fourteen years of age when in 1811 he came to Ohio with his parents Abraham and Rachel (Curl) Yeazell, who were also natives of the Old Dominion. The grandfather became the owner of a large tract of land and died in this state at the age of fifty-five years. George Yeazell also had extensive realty holdings comprising four hundred acres of valuable land. He died at the age of sixty-eight years, respected by all who knew him because his life had been an honorable and upright one. He left nine children, of whom our subject was the fifth in order of 'birth, while five are still living. George, who was a farmer and died in Catawba left eight children. Mary Ann was married and is now deceased. Jeremiah died in Harmony township leaving one child. Eliza became the wife of Dr Grower and died in Moorefield township, leaving one. John W was the next of the family. Isaac is a carpenter living in Springfield and has three children, Caroline is the widow of Martin Mahar, by whom she had five children, and her home is in Catawba. Angeline is the wife of John Waltman by whom she has two children, their home being Pleasant township. Francis M lives in Springfield and has five children. Jeremiah was a lieutenant in the Seventeenth Ohio Volunteer Battery and losing his health in the service was therefore obliged to resign. Francis M served as a private of the Sixteenth Ohio Battery. | Yeazel, John Will (I3704)

| 708 | From History of Vermilion County. By H. W. Beckwith. Chicago, Illinois, H.H. Hill and Company, 1879. Page 886. J.B. Cline came from Kentucky in 1829, and settled on section 25.

| 709 | From History of Vermilion County. By H.W. Beckwith. Chicago, Illinois, H.H. Hill and Company, 1879. page 887. J.R. Gritton came here from Kentucky in 1840, and bought land of the estate of Abram Rees. Mr. Rees owned a farm on section 23, and while at work building a mill at Denmark, died. Mr. Gritton had a family of five children, only three of whom survive. One was killed a year since by Mr. Clem, in a difficulty growing out of the lease of a piece of land. One of Mr. Gritton's first acts, after coming on to his farm, was the selection and planting of an excellent orchard, which, owing to his good judgement and care, was for a long time a source of increased revenue. Gritton's orchard was known far and near as one of the best in this neck of woods. He never has been a member of any church, but his conversation shows that he has a true appreciation of the results of a sincere religious life in a community like this. The now aged couple are saddened in their last days by the tragedy which took the life of a dear son. (LKH Note: The son who was killed was Milo B. Gritton whose widow, Ellen Gerrard, later married Samuel Shumate.) | Gritton, John R. (I422)

| 714 | From Portrait and Biographical Ablum of Vermilion County, Illinois. Page 241-242. Mrs. Eliza J. (Potter) Boyce was born in Jefferson County, N.Y., one half mile from Sackett's Harbor, Sept. 19, 1813, and is the daughter of Elijah and Lana Potter, the former of whom was born in Washington County, N.Y., Sept. 4, 1787. He was there reared upon a farm and was married to a maiden of his own township, Miss Lana Van Wormer, in 1810. Not long afterward the young people removed to a point near Sackett's Harbor in Jefferson County. Mrs. Lana Potter was born June 2, 1793 and was consequently seventeen years of age at the time of her marriage. The three eldest children of Mr. and Mrs. Potter were born in Jefferson County, N.Y., Eliza J. being the eldest. Six more children were added to the family after they left the Empire State. With one exception they all lived to mature years, one being killed when about four years old by the falling of a tree upon him. About 1820 the Potter family resolved to seek what was then the farther West and accordingly removed to Richland County, Ohio, settling near the present site of the town of Ashland. That region was then a wilderness, peopled chiefly by wild animals and Indians, there being only four other white families in the township. Mr. Potter entered a tract of land from the Government and the family endured all the hardships and privations of life on the frontier. The nearest mill was thirty miles away and the road which led to it was for long distances nothing more than an Indian trail. As the country began settling up Mr. Potter distinguished himself as a leading citizen and was one of the first to exert himself in the establishment of a school which was effected after much difficulty, Mr. Potter riding three days to find a teacher who could even write. The family sojourned in that neighborhood for a period of seventeen years and in 1830 concluded to make another change of residence, this time seeking the Prairie State. After due preparation they in October set out overland with a two-horse team and two cows, and their household goods and provisions. They were three weeks on the road, camping and cooking by the wayside. They arrived near the present site of Newtown, on Middle Fork Township, in November following. The father three or four years later purchased land on the State road, at the edge of Eight Mile Prairie, ten miles north of Danville, where he open up a good farm and lived until 1856. Eleven years later Mr. Potter removed to Missouri and subsequently made his home with his son, Joseph, who was located on a farm nine miles from Chillicothe. Mr.s Lana (Van Wormer) Potter was the daughter of Jacob Van Wormer, one of the early pioneers of Washington County, N.Y., and a strict adherent of the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His house for many years was the meeting pace for the annual conference and was the frequent resort of the itinerant. Among the early preachers of that day was the renowned Lorenzo Dow, who made for himself a name intimately associated with the early history of Methodism. He as his wife finally removed to Jefferson County and mad their home with Mrs. Potter, his youngest daughter. They intended going to Ohio with the Potter family, but on account of the mother's health they were obliged to remain in Jefferson County N.Y., where they spent their last days. The Van Wormer family traced its ancestry to Holland. | Potter, Elijah (I2457)
