1909 "We learn that Miss Mary Kisling has disposed of her relinquishment to John Deering."
This was eighty acres in Washington County, in Section 24, 3N 49W. It doesn't show in BLM records, but Rollie Deering writes "When my Grandfather, John R. Deering, applied for his homestead he did not take a corner piece of a section as most people did but chose to take his 160 acres out of the middle of the section, leaving 80 acres on both ends. He did this hoping that it would discourage others from taking only 80 acres as their homestead. He thought that this might make it possible for him to acquire those 80 acre parcels later on. As it turned out, Mary Kissling did file for the 80 acres on the northeast corner of section 24. She built a small homestead cabin very near the Deering property so that she could 'neighbor' and also have access to water."
1910 Frantz Kisling was visiting with his daughter Mrs. Joe Brodenberg in Oregon.
Dec 11, 1930 Yuma Pioneer Obit - (Summary)
Franz Kisling died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R.H. Weekley. Franz Kisling
was born Apr 12, 1844 in Austria-Hungary, where he lived until the spring of
1888 when he immigrated with his family to Yuma County. He died Dec 10, 1930 at
the age of 86 years 7 months 18 days. Services were from St. John's Catholic
Church Friday and interment was in the Yuma Cemetery.
In 1869 he married Caroline Eisenhauer. They had four children. John died in
infancy, Louise died at the age of 13, Eva Braudenberg of Orenco, Oregon and
Mary A. Weekley of Yuma. Caroline died Dec 22, 1903. Franz later married
Catherine Beckman, who died Jul 20, 1920. Since 1920 he has lived with his
daughter, Mary.
In 1940 Arvada, Colorado Ralph is operating a dairy, with Mary as a helper. Zella is a billing clerk for a retail goods manufacturer.
Ralph died January 1970, with last residence in Lakewood, Colorado.
Michael L. Weekly cash-claimed a quarter in 10, 4N 46W in 1909, and Charles O. Weekly proved up a quarter next to him in 1913. In 1912 Ralph H. Weekly proved up another quarter in that section.
JOHN
Two miles south, John W. Weekly proved up a quarter in 14, 3N 46W in 1914.
John Wesley Weekly registered in Yuma, saying he was born November 12, 1889 in Spraytown, Indiana, a farmer, and had a wife and a child..
SPRAYTOWN, A place of 100 inhabitants, in Salt Creek township, Jackson county, 10 miles northwest of Browns- town court house. The location of the nearest bank is at Seymour, 12 miles distant. It is also the shipping point. Ewing, 6 miles southeast on the O. & M., is another shipping station. August Graff, postmaster. |
In 1920 Weld precinct J. Wesley is married to Edna J. 29, born in Colorado. They have Dorothy S. 4, and E lena H. 2.
WILLIAM
In 1880 Salt Creek, Jackson County, Indiana - same township as Michael - there's a William H. Weekley, 7, son of Bazil D. 50 and Lydia 47 Weekley
Five miles west, a William E. Weekley cash-claimed a quarter in 1891 in 22, 3N 47W (wonder if this is the William R. Weekley in 1910 Logan County....... He's 36, Indiana, married three years to Susan 38, Mississippi. She's had one child, one living. And a William R. Weekly in 1920 Pulaski County Missouri is divorced. And he might be in Woodbury County, Iowa in 1930, married to Sarah C. 55 - He was 23 at first marriage, she was 14, so this isn't a first marriage. Sarah 's daughter Mary Stafford is with them. Sarah was in Pulaski, Missouri in 1920 - same place as William, widowed with four kids.)
On June 9, 1896 a William R. Weekley married Alice A. Carmichael in Jackson County, Indiana.
One Ancestry tree says William H. Weekley, son of Basil D. and Lydia KERNS Weekley, was born December 15, 1872, and died March 15, 1895 - so he would have been 18 at the time of the cash claim- possible. William was an older cousin, and that's why Michael knew of the Yuma area????
Jesse Weekley was their grandfather. Basil was William's father, and Martin was Michael's father.
CHARLES
In 1912 Michael L. Weekly, "father and adult heir of Charles O. Weekly, deceased, of Yuma" filed for the northeast quarter of 20, 4N 46W.
Charles must be Charles OSCAR, dying between 1900 and 1910. Wonder if that's the one Findagrave has in Taylors Chapel Cemetery, Jackson County Indiana (May 1, 1882 - January 18, 1907. Charles G. Weekly.
Frederic - son of Calvin Hill Critchfield and Ann Mariah BOWMAN Critchfield, has a very illegible stone in Taylors Chapel.
So the Calvin and Ann Critchfield in Boyd County, Nebraska must be Harriet's parents.
Annie B. Chrichfield married G. L. Eacret May 18, 1903 in Exeter, Barry County Missouri, AND
In 1910 Alonzo J. Eacret 35(or 38) and Anna C. Eacret 28 are in Eckley precinct "on the Holyoke Road" so that would be north of town. They have Della K. 6, Leland B. 4, George A. 3, and Frank W. two months. All born in Colorado.
J.L. Eacret was in the jury pool list of 1912.
Also in 1912, he was a witness for Julia F. Christensen, widow of James H. Christensen, for her homestead. Other witnesses were John W. Weekly (his brother-in-law), Lizzie Carper (Andrew's wife , who lived a few miles west), and Frank S. Rowe.
In 1913 a James L. Eucret, of Eckley, was a witness for a land patent.
December 1913
He had proved up two quarters in 3 and 4 of 2N 46W. - that's only a few miles south of the Weekley patents.
In 1934 a Murl Eacret is farming, but no location is given
In 1930 George Eacret, 22, nephew, is living with Harriet Weekly on North Albany in Yuma. He's a clerk in a store.
