Notes for ABSOLOM YODER:

Bartholomew co., Indiana Archives

CIRCUIT  YODER  ABSALOM    BOX 33 1843 VS. STATE OF INDIANA  ASSAULT & BATTERY WITH INTENT TO KILL

 CIRCUIT  YODER  ABSALOM    BOX 43 1849 VS. STATE OF INDIANA  PUBLIC INDECENCY

 STATE  YODER  ABRALON    BOX 31

 

Apparently Absolom threatened a Moses Rees/Reas with a gun and sort of beat him up - can't read much. Then he apparently took a piss in public - thereby exposing himself. Then he and son David apparently stole 10 pigs and tried to alter their marks on the ears. Got $300 fine for that. Mentions a John Richardson, Moses Yoder the mysterious, Ann Yoder, Sarah Yoder and Samuel Christy. Robert Covert too

Seems old Absalom with the help of one of his kids stole several hogs and attempted to alter themarks on their ears. Got fined $300 for that. This John Richardson is in your files. Still haven't figured out this Moses Yoder signature or document. He signed the damned thing but doesn't appear in any census

Regimental History

Thirty-sixth Infantry IOWA

( 3 years )

  Thirty-sixth Infantry. ACol., Charles W. Kittredge; Lieut. -Col. Franc es M. Drake, Majs., Thomas C. Woodward, Augustus H. Hamilton.

  The 36th rendezvoused at Keokuk in Sept., 1862, and was regularlly mustered into the U. S. service on Oct. 4.  It left Keokuk about Nov. 10, going down the river on two steamers, and made its first landing at Columbus, Ky., in the night, to assist in repelling an expected attack of the enemy.

  It reached Helena, Ark., Dec. 31 and remained there until the latter part of the following February, when it embarked on steamers in the Yazoo Pass expedition, returning to Helena, April 8, the expedition comprising just 40 days and nights in the wilderness.  The regiment remained here, making occasional forays into the country, until Aug. 11, 1863 when it formed part of Gen. Steele's army in his march to Little Rock.  That place was captured on Sept. 10, and the regiment entered the city two days afterward, encamping in the outskirts on the north side.

  In March, 1864, it was in the expedition under command of Gen. Steele, the objective point being Camden, at the head of navigation on the Ouchita river, and the 36th bore the brunt of the battle on this march, at Elkin's Ferry.  It took part also in the battle of Prairie d'Ane, where the advance of the army skirmished for 12 miles and finally found the Confederates so strongly posted as to require three days to dislodge them.

  In April the regiment was in the brigade detailed to guard 240 wagons back to Pine Bluff, upon which expedition was the battle of Marks' Mills occured and the regiment was captured.  About 100 of the 36th left behind were in the battle of Jenkins' Ferry.  Those of the regiment who were not captured remained at Little Rock till early in March, 1865, when they were removed to St. Charles on the White River, and in May, to Devaill's Bluff, where they were mustered out Aug. 24, 1865.

  The regiment recieved some 70 recruits in March, 1864, at Little Rock, and had in it from first to last 1,205 officers and men.  Its losses were: deaths from battle, 70, deaths from disease, 233; wounded 146; discharged, 191.

obit from Davis co website/cemeteries - ANSWERS THE CALL

To Him above to whom we all must answer, Ham Bales dies of paralysis.

On Sat, 27 Apr, Was an Old time Pioneer of Davis Co., Came to Iowa in 1847.

   Died at his home three quarters of a mile south of Floris, his death was caused by a second stroke of paralysis which overtook him on Thurs, and his first stroke was in Oct.  The second carried the faithful pioneer to his reward above.  The funeral services were held at his home Sunday, conducted by Rev Sprage.  The remains being laid to rest in the Dutch Flat Cemetery.

He was born 5 Jul 1841, in Jennings Co., IN, and when but 6 years old he came with his parents to Iowa and settled in Davis Co, where he has since resided.  At the time of his death his age was 65 years, 3 months and 5 days.

   He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and his only son, O.K. Bales, who resides on the old home place.  Mr. Bales had retired from the farm about three years ago and was endeavoring to enjoy himself in his old age when death overtook him.  Besides his wife and son he leaves behind him four brothers, Jacob, Mose, Solomon and Lee, of which all reside in Davis Co., but Mose, who resides in Ottumwa.  Also two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Yoder of Eddyville and Mrs. Elizabeth Christy of Davis Co.

   The funeral services were short only being a few songs as he did not care for a long service which he explained in this way that it only made more tears, sorrow for those left behind and that the song service would do just as well.  He was a faithful member of his church, a good neighbor and citizen and his demise will be greatly missed by his friends.

Notes for SUSAN HALE:

Obituary:  unknown newspaper, received from Joyce Comer <joyccom@aol.com>

   A long and useful  life was brought to its close on Thursday, Feb. 1 6, at 7 pm. when Mrs. Susan Daugherty passed quietly from this scene at the Baker Nursing Home in Mexico,

Mo.  The three score and ten had been exceeded by 23 years.  Mrs. Daugherty  was born in Davis County, March 6, 1857, and spent virtually all of her 93 years in Davis County except the last 10. Her husband, Charles, and two sons, Edward and Kost, preceded her in death, but three daughters and two sons survive.  They are, respectively, Mrs. Dora Comer of Floris, Mrs Rosa McCormick of Ottumwa, Mrs Opal Mumper of Los Angeles, Calif., John Daugherty  of Ottumwa, and Morrison Daugherty of Mt. Sterling.

  Mrs. Daugherty was a true mother, a good neighbor and one who was constantly engaged in little services that made her home a place of delight.  Her home was her major interest.  Her departure will be greatly mourned and her presence deeply missed by the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, distant relatives and friends.

Memories of Evelyn and Tuck in 2003

   Old Bige Comer ran the creamery in Floris when they were kids.  Mom took her eggs there to sell.

 

I don't have a good picture of Bigers old house.  It is about a block west of the post office, on the corner.  It used to be a beautiful old house.  Now it is vacant and slowly falling apart.  Wayne Comer lives across the street north of Biges house.  The house Wayne lives in was his Grandpa Ira's, where Ira lived after he moved off the gov't farm.  Bige's sister, Mary Noel, lived catty corner to the southwest behind Bige.  Her house is across the street from what was the Christian Church.

Notes for DALE YODER:

>Thanks for all of you who left messages on the e-mail or phone at home.

>What an experience, but we were so fortunate to have been booked into a

>hotel across the street and slightly up from the beach (I really thought I

>had us on the beach and was a little silently miffed about the location

when

>we checked in the night before).  Little did I know ...  I do know that I'm

>not leaving the country again without a cell phone that works with ease

>internationally ... we finally were able to borrow a Swedish man's phone to

>get the message to Brian and Kris's hotel in Myanmar.  I knew they'd be

>frantic, but couldn't get the call placed from a hotel phone.  It was also

>interesting to note that there seemed to be no system of checking within

the

>hotel even who survived, who didn't come back to their rooms, etc.  No list

>where you signed in, no one making the announcements to evacuate up the

>mountain, etc.  I finally suggested (after we missed the 2nd evacuation and

>napped through it -- on the 4th floor thankfully and no harm anyway), that

>they set off the fire alarms or SOMETHING so all people in the hotel knew

an

>announcement was being made.  Everything was being said in Swedish since

our

>hotel was mostly Swedish tour groups ...    We fared well though, but it

was

>such a tragic day for so many thousands of others. I only wish I'd had some

>kind of medical training that would have made volunteering worthwhile -- we

>just tried to stay out of the way of the worst hit areas to let others do

>those things.  (Maybe I need an EMT class.)

> 

>Chiang Mai was great and it was so good to reunite with Brian, Kris and the

>kids on the 3rd.  We left there yesterday, and after what seemed like a

week

>of travel (not), we pulled in to Fairbanks at about 2:30 this morning. The

>Bells are enroute, and they are now in Vancouver, BC and Seattle waiting

for

>flights north.  Kris and the kids returned through Hong Kong to Vancouver

>and Brian through Narita, Japan to Seattle.  Will be glad when everyone's

>tucked into their own beds!

IRA COMER

   Ira Comer, 90, Floris, died at his home Wednesday.  He was a farmer and carpenter.

   He was born in Davis County near Floris on October 23, 1892 to Abija and Dora Christy Comer.  He was a lifetime resident of Davis County and a member of Woodsmen of America.

   He married Anna Wickline in 1914 in Princeton, Missouri.  She died in 1 974.

   Survivors include a son, Sidney of Floris; four sisters, Laura Wolf of Shell Rock, Cuba Radcliff and Daisy Kerran, both of Des Moines, a nd Cleo Farmer of Cedar Rapids; one brother, Verbal of Des Moines; and Don Baker of Ottumwa, who was raised in their home.

   Funeral services were held Sunday at the Wagler Funeral Home, conduct ed by the Rev. Bernard Tucker.  Burial was in the Pierce Cemetery near Floris.

   A memorial has been established to the Iowa Diabetes Association.

 

Ira and Sid bought the old Floris depot and had it moved down on the Des Moines river, east of Jeddy Carter Hill.  They used it for a river cabin.  I guess after Ira and Sid died, Sid's wife Jennie sold it.  The man that bought it from Jennie died and his widow put it up for sale.  My nephew, Mike Major, bought it a year or so ago.  I guess it needs a lot of work so Mike put a fifth wheel down there to live in while he works on the old depot.

Memories of Evelyn and Tuck in 2003

Bige and Sid Comer ran the creamery in Floris and mom used to take her eggs and cream there to sell.

Ira Comer lived and ran State Forestry Farm that as between Floris and highway 63

 

Yes, Ira lived on the the state farm.  His grandson, Ron, lives on the hill across the road from the farm now.  Another grandson, Wayne, lives on main street in Floris, across the street from Abijah's old house.  The front porch roof is falling off Biges old house.  Ira ran the creamery. Sid was a railroader.  Sid's wife Jennie, still lives in Floris.  She's about 80 years old and sharp as a tack.

Ottumwa Courrier -   Floris Mourns Deaths of Rick, Monte Comer

 

Floris - Orange arrows were drawn all along the stretch of pavement on Floris Road, and the heavy cloud cover seemed to echo the grief felt in this timy Southern Iowa Town - reminders of Monday afternoon's tragic accident that took the lives of a father and his son.  Rick Lee Comer, 54, of Bloomfield and his son, Monte Comer, 31, of Eldon died in the crash that occured in the middle of the tiny Davis County town located 15 miles southeast of Ottumwa.  The two men were both driving trucks. According to information from the Iowa State Patrol, the vehicles were traveling side by side when they struck, causing the elder Comer's vehicle to hit a tree, while the younger Comer's vehicle rolled.  Monte Comer was thrown from the vehicle.  Both vehicles landed just inside the city limits.  Witnesses said the trucks were traveling fast, side-by-side, as if they were racing.  Both men were pronounced dead on the scene by the Davis County medical examiner.  The accident occurred at approximately 1:50 pm Monday on County Road J15, also know as Floris Road, which winds throught the close-knit community.  Most of the area residents who witnessed the accident chose not to comment when asked about their reactions on Wednesday afternoon.  A Davis County road maintenance driver, Ray Jones, witnessed portions of the accident from inside his truck.  "A tire flew across the parking lot, and then I saw a truck flying, upside down, through mid-air" Jones said.  "The man was ejected, with the truck coming to rest, and I think it (the truck), ran over him", Jones said.  "I called my office from the truck, and told them to send an ambulance right away," Jones said.  The accident remains under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol.  Visitation for both father and son will begin at 9 am Friday at the Wagler Funeral Home.  Memorials may be made to the family and left at the funeral home.

Services were held Saturday, Aug. 26, at 10 a.m. at Tehachapi First Baptist Church for Naomi Lynn Christy, 16, who passed away on Monday, Aug. 21, in Los Angeles.

 

Naomi was born Jan. 31, 1990, in Bakersfield. She attended Tehachapi High School and was active in her church youth group. She had an undeniable love of life and a heart big enough for all of us. She never complained, always thinking and worrying about everybody else first. All she really wanted was love and acceptance. She had unconditional love for everyone she knew. Naomi will always be our little angel.

 

Naomi is survived by her parents, Larry and Symantha Christy, of Tehachapi; brothers Jeffrey Jason Starn and Larry Gene Christy, Jr., of Tehachapi; sister, Ashley Nicole Christy, also of Tehachapi; grandparents John and Donna Christy, of Keene, and Butch and Dale Herrera, of Tehachapi; great-grandparents Cliff and Billie Storie, of Keene; mother Suzanne Herrera, of Bakersfield; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Naomi was preceded in death by her grandparents, Don and Peggy Starn.

 

Pastor Gabe Miles conducted the service. Interment followed at Tehachapi Public Cemetery – Westside. Wood family Funeral Service handled the arrangements.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Naomi's name to Mattel's Childrens Hospital at UCLA for Autoimmune Disease research.
