MAURATH, MORT posting by John L. Maurath on Wednesday, July 1, 1998

Is it possible for anyone to tell me how many towns along Hwy.21 in Jefferson County had printed newspapers in the year 1934? And, are these archived anywhere in any historical depository or elsewhere, that I can access? My Great-unlce, Leo George MAURATH and his friend "Buss" MORT , were travelling from one party to another, late on the night of Friday, November 9, 1934, or that Saturday. They had been drinking, and Leo (who was driving his '29 Roadster with rumble seat), tried to make a sharp turn which he had missed, and rolled the car. Buss was thrown clear, and Leo was crushed under the car and died one week later in City Hospital in St.Louis. This accident happened somewhere along Hwy.21 in Jefferson County, and I'm trying to find out where it happened, and a newspaper account of the incident. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to conlaeth@juno.com Thank you so much!

More . . .

Leo Maurath was good friends with Buss Mort . Leo was my Grandfather Maurath's kid brother. Their sister, Carmelite (nee Maurath) Trueman (aka "Carme"), is still alive at 92 years old, and was recently placed in a nursing home. She had her mind up until recently. But, I've "interrogated" her many times over the years about the story, as she and her husband Ollie were at the same party with Leo and Buss the night of the accident.

They were all drinking, dancing and having good fun. Aunt Carme said Leo and Buss left the party to go pick up Leo's red-headed girlfriend, and were going to come back to the party or go to another party. Leo had been living with his older sister Carme, as he was estranged from his Father. (Leo's Mother had died in 1928, when he was 17 years old). Leo was very nice-looking and well-built, but was kind of a tough guy, as he always seemed to get into fights with the Italians on Dego Hill in St.Louis, which was near where he lived. His Father was supposedly very strict with him. His Father, Louis, lived to be 97, and died in 1962.

Anyhow, they were heading up Hwy.21 in Jefferson County, Missouri late on Friday night, when Buss noticed that Leo was about to pass his turn-off, and made him aware of it. Leo tried to negotiate the turn anyhow - and in doing so, he was going too fast and the car overturned, throwing Buss clear, but pinning Leo underneath, with the car rolling several times ( the car was about a 1929 Ford Roadster, with the rumble seat in the back). Leo was taken to St. Louis City Hospital #1 on LaFayette St. in St.Louis. Aunt Carme said "every bone in his body was broken". Leo died one week later. Aunt Carme's Father blamed her for the whole thing, and she has carried that burden with her, her whole life.

The coroner's reports I received, tell a different story than the one related above to me by Aunt Carme. Discrepencies. I'll mail them all to you and let you decide. This is an interesting story, but very sad. There's probably a lot more that no one will ever know about, until we die.

Jean Blake Dalrymple — motherd@theriver.com — With the compliments of the ROBERTSON COUNTY REVIEW, Robertson County, Ky.

The TRIBUNE DEMOCRAT, 26 August 1948

He was the son of the late George and Louisa COLLINS, pioneer citizens of this county and was born Jan. 19, 1866, and at the time of his death was aged 82 years, 6 months, and 2 days. On March 18,1897, he was married to Miss Emma Duncan MEADOWS of this county. To this union there were born five children, namely, Osley, Brenton, Bonnie, Leslie and Margarette.

Mr. COLLINS is survived by his wife and four children, Margarette having passed away when a young girl. The deceased leaves three grandsons, Charles MORT, Richard MORT , and William COLLINS; three granddaughters, Mrs. Richard STEVENSON, Miss Janice MORT , and Mrs. Ann GRIFFITH and one great-grandson, Ranell STEVENSON; one brother, William COLLINS, and two sisters Miss Kate COLLINS and Mrs. Betty BENTLEY of Mt.Olivet. The family moved from the Sardis vicinity in 1919 to Winchester. Mr. COLLINS was a successful farmer and one of the leaders in the operation of Penn Grove Campmeeting when he resided here. Funeral services were held at the Mt. Olivet Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. G.G. KITSON. Internment in the Mt.Olivet Cemetery.

FAHLING, Philip

an enterprising and successful general agriculturist, and son of the first German settler of Chester Township, Ottawa County, Mich., was born March 2, 1853 on the farm where he now resides, and is the only son of Philip and Elizabeth Fahling, both natives of Germany. The parents were married in the Old Country, but soon afte remigrating to America located in Ohio, where they remained three years. From the Buckeye State journeying to the farther West with oxen, they came to Michigan, fording and swimming rivers on the way. Arriving in the Wolverine State in 1844, they two years later in 1846, entered from the Government the farm of one hundred and sixty acres upon which they now live. The land was then heavily timbered but, persistently worked upon, has been brough under a high state of cultivation, and to the original acres have since been added others, until the homestead now contains two hundred and eighty acres of valuable land, improved with buildings of a superior character, commodious, of modern architecture and finely arranged. When the parents located in Michigan the father had $300 and the wife $140, money which they had made in Ohio. The father, working on a far for $10 per month, had saved it all, and now, with Conrad Kritzer, made the first settlement in Chester Township. The first white child born in the township was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Fahling, Margaret, now Mrs. Klink, of Alpine Township, Kent County.

When the Fahlings located in Chester Township they were obliged to do all their trading in Grand Rapids, and as they had no horses the grist was brough upon their backs all the way home, there being no roads over which their oxen might have hauled the stuff. Their nearest neighbor was John Coffee, five miles south from their place. Desiring to fill their beds with straw, they were obliged to transport the same a long distance on their backs. The first shanty erected by mr. Fahling, Mr. Kritzer assisted in putting up, as did also Adam Lachman, a young man who had accompanied them from Ohio. It was built in three days, no nails being used in the construction, with exception of a few in the door. Mr. Fahling and Mr. Kritzer with their families lived together fthree months, and then Mr. Kritzer built a similar house for his family. These early pioneers, enduring sacrifices and great privations, toiled unceasingly that their children might in the days to come reap the benefit. The father through incessant toil contracted consumption, and at the early age of forty-five years passed away, in 1860, leaving a widow and five children to mourn his loss. Two little ones had preceded him to the better land. Margaret, Mrs. Klink, is the eldest-born; Elizabeth is the wife of Chris Peters, of Casenovia Township, Muskegon County; Philip is our subject; Christiana, deceased, was the wife of Fred Rister, of Chester Township; and Mary, deceased, was the wife of John Mortz of Big Rapids. The mother, married in 1862 to Henry Ritz, resides in Sparta Township, Kent County, and by her second husband has one son, John, a citizen of Sparta Township.

Our subject was educated in the free and Lutheran schools of his home neighborhood, both his parents being of the Lutheran denomination. Reared to farming life and work, he was but eight years of age at the time of his father's death, and continued to live with his mother and stepfather until mature age, upon his twenty-first birth purchasing one hundred and four acres of the old homestead on which he was reared.

Upon December 31, 1881, at the age of twenty-eight years, Philip Fahling married Christina Rister, a native of New York and a daughter of Jacob Rister, who in the early days came to Michigan and here prosperously engaged in farming. Unto our subject and his estimable wife had been born three children: Mary, Philip, Jr., and Charley. Mr. and Mrs. Fahling are both valued members of the Lutheran Church and are active aids in good work. Politically, our subject, as was his father before him, is a strong Democrat and an ardent advocate of the "the Party of the People." Financially blessed with an abundance of this world's goods, Mr. Fahling is ranked among the energetic and ambitious agriculturists of Ottawa County, and hsi recognized as a leading man of public spirit, ever ready to do his full share in all matters of mutual welfare and enterprise.

I have been in touch with a gentleman from Florida about the heart disease
that seems to plague the Lima Ohio Morts - my mother died very suddenly at age
56 so I am very interested to see if there is a possibility I am related to
that branch - I just turned 50 last August.

Thanks so much. FromTanjla Vasquez: 


From:  Kim Hammer - hammert@bright.net

We had some brief correspondence about a year ago on our common interest
of George and Matilda Margaret (Bowsher) Mort of Allen County, OH.

Recently I discovered a marriage record of one of their daughters in
Putnam County, while researching the Bowsher/Bird family, that I thought
might interest you.

Putnam Co., OH Marriage Record, Vol. 9, p.514, #3130
D.D. Mort and Rosetta Bird, May 28, 1913

	D.D. Mort
	31 years on 8 July 1912
	residence - Lima, OH
	place of birth - West Cairo, OH
	occupation - engineer
	father - George Mort
	mother - Margaret Bowsher
	not previously married

	Rosetta Bird
	22 on 29 Nov. 1912
	residence - Ottawa, OH
	place of birth - West Cairo, OH
	occupation - domestic
	father - Joseph Clinton Bird
	mother - Amanda Allstetter
	not previously married

Note: The groom's name is not given, only the initials D.D. I assume
this must be David Mort. Rosetta Bird and David Mort were BIRD/BOWSHER
cousins and Rosetta's mother and father were BIRD/BOWSHER cousins.

You sent me a list of George and Matilda Margaret (Bowsher) Mort's
children (?from census record and pension record) as:

	1. Manda Jane 'Jane' Mort - b circa 1877
	2. Laurie May 'Lora' Mort - b circa 1879
	3. David Mort - b circa 1880
	4. Gertrude 'Gertie' Mort - b circa 1883
	5. Lena Elnora Mort - b circa 1884
	6. George Berlin 'Bearl' Mort - b circa 1890

? George also had these two children from other wife/wives?
	1. Sherman Sylvester Mort - b circa 1867
	2. Mary Mort - b circa 1875

I am not sure if Manda Jane Mort b circa 1877 is Matilda Margaret
(Bowsher) Mort's daughter?

I found the following Allen Co. birth record (Vol.1, p.16):

	Bowsher, (no first name given), female
	born - Feb. 3, 1877, Monroe Twp.
	father - none given
	mother - Matilda Bowsher
	residence - Monroe Twp., Allen Co.

My guess is that this is Amanda Jane. George may have been the father,
but he and Matilda Margaret Bowsher weren't married until Oct. 31, 1878.
Your thoughts?

Have you any further information on this family? Would you like a copy
of the birth and marriage record?

 assembled by R. Glen Nye, Ed. by Mrs. Buford C. Curtis, 1965. p.45-46

Johan Adam Neu, father of John Nicholas Neu, came to America in 1749 from
Germany aboard the Ship Priscilla. The ship left Europe from Rotterdam and
stopped at Cowes, England before proceeding to the port of Philadelphia,
province of Pennsylvania where it landed on Sept. 11, 1749. Capt. William
Muir was the officer in charge on the "Ship Priscilla". There were 293
persons on the ship, including 77 who signed the list.

The official record for their arrival reads as follows:     "Monday, Sep.
11, 1749. At the Court House at Philadelphia.  Present: Joshua Maddox,
Esquire.    The foreigners whose names are underwritten, imported in the
Priscilla, Capt. Wm. Muir, from Rotterdam, and last from Cowes, in England,
did this day take the usual oaths to the Government. By list 77; Persons
293."  Among the names on the list were:    Johan Nickel Neu / Johan Adam
Neu....their names appearing next to each other.

The list did not include the names of children, but John Nicholas and his
brother William born on Aug. 19, 1746 in Germany mush have been on the ship
with their parents. Also, there mush have been another son, John, on the
same ship with Johan Adam Neu, because mention is made of a son, John, later
in the will of Johan Adam Neu.

Seven children of Johan Adam Neu and his wife, Eve Elizabeth, were baptized
at the "Hill" Church between 1751 and 1766.

The next official record of Johan Adam Neu is the warrant he took out, dated
Feb. 10, 1757, for 100 acres of land situated in Derry Township, Lancaster
Co., Pa. That was warrant No. 94. The warrant listed the name as John Adam
New. The survey of that land was made on Feb. 25, 1757 but the land was not
bought by Johan Adam at that time.

The survey was returned on Oct. 25, 1765 for a larger piece of land instead
of the 100 acres mentioned on the original warrant. The tract was finally
patented to John Adam Neighs on Oct. 26, 1765 for 259 acres and allowance.
John Adam paid forty pounds, five shillings and nine pence lawful money for
the land plus a quitrent. The quitrent amounted to "one half penny sterling
for every acre of the same or value thereof in coin Current according as the
Exchange shall then be between our said Province and the City of London." It
was to be paid on the first day of March every year at the town of Lancaster.

John Adam's wife, Eve Elizabeth, must have died because there is a record of
a marriage of John Adam Neu and Veronica Barbara Koemmet performed by Rev.
John Casper Stoever.

In the History of Dauphin and Lebanon County published by William Egle, John
Adam Ney of Derry Township is listed as having died in Feb., 1783, leaving a
wife, Veronica Barbara and 8 children. At the Lancaster County Courthouse
the will of John Adam Neu also lists a wife, Veronica Barbara and the same 8
children.

The will was written on Dec. 14, 1782. In the County record book at
Lancaster, the date under which the registrar's name appears in March 26,
1783.

Children:

John - Must have been born in Germany. Dates unknown.

John Nicholas Neu - Born June 6, 1742 in Germany. Died Nov 4, 1800.

William Neu - Born August 19, 1746 in Germany. Died January 1805.

Mary Elizabeth - Born April 30, 1751. Baptized May 16, 1751. Sponsors were
Nicholas Wederts and wife Mary Elizabeth; also Elizabeth Catherine Stroeher.

Frederick - Born February 9, 1753. No date given for the baptism but the
sponsors were Christopher Wegman and Margaret Neu. The sponsors were to have
been Matthias Bohr and wife, but on account of high water the others acted in
their stead.

Mary Christina - Born October 27, 1759. baptized October 28, 1759. Sponsors
were Matthias Bohr and wife.

Anna Margaret - Born April 11, 1761. Baptized April 12, 1761. Sponsors were

 John Peter Feltin and wife Mary Catharine.

John Michael - Born in 1764., Baptized November 11, 1764. No sponsors given.

John Henry - Born July, 1766. Baptized July 2, 1766. Sponsors were Henry
Firnsler and wife Juliana.

All of the above children except Mary Christina and Anna Margaret are listed
in John Adam Neu's will.

17.   Eve Elizabetha Henn b. abt 1720, Germany, d. abt 1756. E.E. Henn was
born in Germany and traveled to America with her husband and children. She
apparently died early, as her husband Johan Adam Neu remarried. The children
listed with this wife of Johan Adam Neu are only a guess. The first three
are a safe bet. The forth and fifth children could be from his second
marriage.

Much interesting and valuable information concerning the New Market area and families has been found in William A. Good's 1992 book, SHADOWED by the MASSANUTTEN, which containes newspaper articles and obits, family histories, gravestone inscriptions, and many court records.

Another tremendous source is Judy Campbell's website, Mt. View Research,http://geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/9793/contents.htm, which you need to visit if you are not already aware of it.

The Shomo, Tidler(Titler), Hottel, Hilbert(Halbert,Hilbart), Reamer(Riemer), Breedlove, Henkel, and Higgs(Higs) families are all found in the early records of New Market, VA between 1792 and 1810. The first reference to a Mort is a Mary Mort found in the 1820 census as a head of household in New Market. A Mary Mort (77, F, W, born PA) is found in the 1850 census household of Samuel (52, M, W, Hatter, born VA) and Margaret (52, F, W, born VA) Tidler in New Market. The 1810 census household of John Shomo in New Market contains one male (John?) and one female (Elizabeth Mort?), both 16-26. The 1850 census household in New Market of John Shomo (62,M,W, Joiner, born PA) includes Elizabeth (51, F, W, born MD), Daniel L. (24, M, W, Joiner, born VA), Jerusia (22, F, W, born VA), Eleanora (17, F, W, born VA), and a George W. Buzzle (11, M, W, born VA). I would suspect, from the above, that Margaret Tidler and Elizabeth Shomo were sisters and that Mary Mort (born PA Abt. 1773) was their mother. I would also think that this Mort family was in the vicinity of New Market by 1810. John Shomo was noted as the bondsman for the marriage of Samuel Tidler and Margaret Mort on 8 Jan 1822. The births of seven of the children of Samuel and Margaret Tidler, between 1822 an 1835, are noted in the Davidsburg Church records. Anna Maria Mort, daughter of Abraham, married J. A. Hottel on 11 Mar 1850 in Shenandoah Co., and John Mort married Barbara Ann Kneisley in Shenandoah Co., on 19 Dec 1850. A John Mort married Harriet Henkel, daughter of George, on 22 Feb 1822 in Shenandoah Co.

The births and baptisms for all of the children on John and Elizabeth (Mort) Shomo are shown in the Davidsburg Church records from 1811 through 1832. Catharina Ann Marie Shomo, daughter of John, married Solomon Reamer, son of Daniel, on 22 Sep 1841, bondsman Henry Shomo. Mary Ann Rosannah Shomo, daug hter of John, married William Breedlove on 16 Mar 1847, Nathaniel O'Roark bondsman. John and Elizabeth Shomo were the sponsors at the Davidsburg baptism 11 Jan 1811 of Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Jacob and Maria Anna Hilbart. Was she Mary (Mort) Hilbert, and a sister of Margaret and Elizabeth?

I am attaching my contribution to your MORT database....please keep in mind that MORT is not one of my own research lines; I was interested only in the BOWERS connection, so it isn't very detailed as far as dates and places, but maybe it will help a little....Please let me know if you have any questions....our permanent email address is:walmar@bigfoot.com — Mary (Bowers) Teeter

FromMike Hirko

Comments:
1. Mabel Mort and Ben Clark marriage. Mabel carried secrets to her grave.
She and Ben were married twice and she had a marriage in between is the
story. I have talked with Buff about researching it but it is one of those
things that you never get around to. My notes are: Mabel K. Mort and
Benjamin F. Clark were married, divorced, and then married a second time. We
have no idea of the details or who the second was. She would never speak of
it. First marriage was on 31 March 1921 and the second on 17 May 1934.
Exact date of divorce(s) is unknown.
Possess marriage certificate for second marriage which took place 17
May 1934 in South Bend, IN at St. Paul's M.E. Church by Robert M. Sellr.
Witnesses were Joan Lauman and Paul R. Ryan
2. Ben Clark was a great man and Editor of the South Haven Daily Tribune
before working for the State of Michigan. He was in the Cavalry in WWI,
stationed in Texas, being called up from the Michigan National Guard.
3. Proper name spellings is Lela Wildarene Clark. Nickname is "Billie".
4. Britt or Brett Carroll Mort?
5. Ruby Jean Murrell Mort or Murel?
6. Marcia DeVries or DeFries?
7. Gregory Allen Mort marriage of 1 Oct 1958 same as DOB.
8. Jo Anne Denemy or Joan?
9. Keith Allen 'Koke' Mort is "Coke". He sold ice cream and sodas from his
motorbike and thereby got the name.
10. Charles Edwin Mort nickname was "Spike".

Both Ben and Mabel are buried in South Haven next to each other. The family
was surprised when Mabel chose to be cremated and the urn buried at her plot.
 While at the cemetery we found out why. The caretaker had told her earlier
that a tree growing in the vicinity would have to be removed to make room for
a casket. She loved trees and presumably solved the problem in her own way.
The tree remained.

Mibbs was a flapper in her youth. My sons have fond memories of getting her
to talk about those days, of speakeasies (they were generally dirty little
places of not much appeal except the booze) and rumble-seats (boys liked the
girls to sit in back because they would get an eye full when the girls got in
and out). The shocker was when she would drink her Bourbon "neat". Of
course, at 90 lbs., that is all it took.

Should you have a chance to visit South Haven I would recommend it. It is a
charming village recently reborn with the help of Federal monies used to
develop the Black River running through town into Lake Michigan. Most of the
action there is from Chicago folks during the summer time. It is very quiet
otherwise. Sand beaches are very nice. Selling the old house was not easy.
We and our children miss our visits there.

Your thoughts.--Mike

lmzahm@hotmail.com I have been off the net since October 1998, so I have a
lot of catching up to do!

Dear Dr. Gradless,
You probably don't remember me, but I did email you about the Mort
family...the Welsh side. We have moved from the Long Beach California area
to the desert..the Palm Springs area....Palm Desert...I have not had time to
do any research on the Mort family...now that I am settle again, I do hope
to get started...I still feel that the Mort family in Wales was not a part of
the English Mort family...from what my Welsh relatives has told me, the Mort
name was changed from the name of Mordecai...How and when I have not a
clue...I have been trying to get a birth certificate of my fathers, who was
born in Swansea, Wales in the year 1881, no record has been found. So I am
trying to get his death certificate from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, that
year was l944...still no luck...but will keep trying...I will send you
more information on our Ohio Valley Mort family when and if do....

 I got your name and e-mail address from the Mort Family Website. Mine is
likely one of the lesser known Mort families in America, but I thought I'd
drop you a line to see if you've been in contact with any
