 Three Domeny Brothers
Ohio
The purpose of this book is to tell
of the lives of three Domeny
brothers, their ancestors and
descendants. We found, because of
their choices of wives, it was im-
possible to research the life of one
of the brothers, without research-
ing the other two.
Our Domeny brothers, all born in
Harrison Township, Vinton County,
Ohio, were the sons of John
Domeny, Sr. and Alzira Stevens.
The first son, John William, born 12
June 1851, was named for his
grandfathers, John Domeny and
William Stevens.
The second son, George
Washington Brown, was born 'n
April 1853.Why did he have such an
unusual name? We have been
unable to find certified proof.
However, we believe he was named
for, at least, a good friend of his
parents. We found that Achsah Dix-
on married George Washington
Brown in 1825. A John Brown nam-
ed his son, born in 1862, George
Washington. The Brown family liv-
ed in Vinton County, Ohio, too.
The youngest Domeny son,
Henry Ellis, born 22 July 1855,was
given family names. One of his
Domeny uncles was named Ellis.
Our Domeny family research.
began in Pennsylvania, for family
legend said that John Domeny, Sr.
was born in Tioga County, Wells-
boro, Penn., in 1820. Months of
searching this area yielded
nothing. Not even a professional
researcher could find our Domeny
family.
of
Kansas - Oklahoma
We decided there was no easy
way to find our family, so we turn-
ed to the National Archives records
of the Bureau of the Census. Begin-
ning in 1790, the United States has
taken a census of individuals every
ten years. Information on census
records varies with the recent
schedules containing the most
information. The 1790-1840sched-
ules gave the names of the head of
the household only; other family
members are tallied unnamed by
age and sex. The 1850 census was
the first time the names of the
wives and children were listed.
Census records are not complete.
People living in remote areas were
often not reached and recorded.
Names were a big problem. The
census taker spelled them
phonetically or may have guessed
at the spelling. We found our name
spelled Dominie, Dominy,
Domeny, Domany, Dominey. Also,
at times, the census taker copied
them incorrectly for the state and
county records, as was the case in
1850when we found the name spell-
ed Donemy.
The first thing we found in the
census records was a John Dominy
in 1810 living in Loyalsock Town-
ship, Lycoming County, Penn. He
continued to live there through
1840.That year he was between the
ages of 80 and 90 and his wife was
between the ages of 70 and 80.
(More about this couple in the
Domeny lineage.)
We found a second John Domine
in 1820living in Lycoming County.
He and his wife were between the
ages of 26and 45 and they had a boy
and girl under the age of 10. This
family continued to live in the area
with the 1840and 1850census show-
ing them in Jackson Township. The
1850census identified them as John
Dominy, age 60, a farmer with $600
real estate and born in Penn-
sylvania (790); his wife Mary, also
60 years old, born in Pennsylvania
(1790). Living with them was
Justice, 18 years old, born in Penn-
sylvania (832) and 9-year-old twin
girls, Mary E. and Anna M., born in
Pennsylvania 0840.
This information was of little use
to us until we received a two page
memoir written by Henry Ellis
Domeny, sent to us by his grand-
daughter, Helen Domeny Ratliff of
Red Rock, Oklahoma. The docu-
ment, written to his children, con-
tains some inaccuracies, but offers
enough clues to help our search.
Henry Ellis wrote to his children,
"Your great-grandfather Dominy
came from Germany. When your
great-grandfather was 3 years old,
they bought a farm in Tioga Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania. When your great-
grandfather grew up, he married
and raised a family of 5 boys and 2
girls. Your grandfather John
Domeny, Sr. was one of the boys.
Joe learned the blacksmith trade
and came to Lebanen, Missouri,
and run a shop there until he died.
Justice and Elis went to California
in 1849. I don't know what became
of the other boys. Your great-
grandfather and girls came to St.
Louis, Missouri, where he died at
the age of 93. Your grand-dad went
to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and
learned the carriage trade and
wagon and machinest trade."
Knowing that one of the 5 Domeny
boys was named Justice was the
proof we needed that the 6O-year-
old John and Mary Domeny living
in Jackson Township, Lycoming
County, Pennsylvania, in 1850were
our ancestors. (More about the
family in the Domeny lineage).
Guernsey County, Ohio
Our research started in Guernsey
County with information from
Clyde Domeny, of Boise, Idaho,
grandson of Henry Ellis Domeny.
He quoted his grandfather, saying
that Alzira Stevens, daughter of
William Stevens and Elizabeth
Camp Stevens was born at Plea-
sant City, Ohio, on 10 September
1824. She was married to John
Domeny, Sr., at Cambridge, Ohio,
in 1849.
We searched the 1850census for
Guernsey County and found
William Stevens, age 58, with his
wife Elizabeth, age 52,and seven of
their children living in Westland
Township. (More about the family
in the Stevens lineage>. However,
we could not find the newly-
married John Domeny, Sr. and
Alzira! After we received their
marriage record from the Guern-
sey County Probate Court, we in-
tensified our search. The court-
house record revealed that John
Domeny married Alzira Steffel on 9
July 1850.Alzira Stevens was mar-
ried to a Miars Stephel on 11August
1846. Back to the 1850 census
record, in the City of Cambridge,
we found the following: John
Donemy, age 29, wagon and car-
riage maker, born in Pennsylvania.
His wife, Eliza, age 25,born in Ohio
and a month-old lu4by, Amanda E.,
born in Ohio! The next year, 1851,
William Stevens and his family,
William's son, Aaron Stevens, and
his family, and John and Alzira
Domeny moved to Vinton County,
Ohio.
Vinton County, Ohio
While planning our trip to Vinton
County in 1983,we made the obser-
vation that the area looked very
rugged on our road map. A native
of Ohio informed us that it was the
foothills of the Allegheny Moun-
tains. As we entered the county
from the north the truth of this
statement soon became evident by
the sharp curves and steep inclines
of the road. We wondered how our
farmer ancestors were able to sur-
vive. When we wound our way to
the valley, we could see rich farm-
land and understood why they settl-
ed there.
The first settlers came to Vinton
County about 1800.They developed
many occupations to support their
families. They made burr stones
for flour mills. Lumber then, as to-
day, was plentiful and many saw-
mills were built on the creeks.
Reference to the Dixon saw-mill
led us to fmd our Dixon ancestors.
Several history books of the county
listed Joseph and William Dixon as
early day settlers of Harrison
Township. We found several
references to Joseph Dixon's saw-
mill on Salt Creek. Wewere certain
we had found our ancestor Joseph
Dixon and his father William. No
such luck! It is hard to believe, but
between 1840 to 1860 Harrison
Township had 600to 800residents.
Among them were four Joseph Dix-
ons, producing their families at the
same time. The one with the saw-
mill was not our ancestor! The
William Dixon of the history books
was our ancestor. William Dixon
and Sarah Johns, his wife, with
their children, came from Ran-
dolph County, North Carolina in
1807, settling near Ratcliffsburg,
Ohio. The Dixons were Quakers
and no doubt came to join the
Quaker settlement that had
migratoo Crom North Carolina to
Vinton County, Ohio.
William and Sarah Dixon were
the parents of Joseph Dixon, born
25 August 1803in North Carolina.
Joseph married Rebecca Cox 16
February 1843. They were the
parents of Emza Ann DPcon, who
married George Washington
Brown Domeny on 1 November
1874in Vinton County, Ohio. At this
point in time the families began to
intertwine. Example: another child
of William and Sarah Johns Dixon,
Ruth, who married John Clark on 5
November 1818, had two grand-
sons, William and Simon Wesley
Ratcliff whoserved in the CivilWar
in the same unit as Jacob Dixon,
the son of Joseph Dixon.
Civil War
Jacob Dixon, second son of
Joseph and Rebecca Cox Dixon,
served as a private in the Civil
War, enlisting in Company G, 73rd
Regiment of Ohio Infantry, on 11
December 1861and was discharged
31 December 1864.He saw active
service in the war, having been
wounded three times, receiving one
of his wounds in the battle of
Gettysburg. No doubt Jacob Dixon
followed William Ratcliff into the
army because William enlisted in
Company G of Regiment 73 of the
Ohio Infantry 28 November 1861
and was killed in action on 11June
1863. His younger brother, Simon
Wesley, at the age of 17,enlisted in
Company G, 73rd Regiment on 16
August 1862.He was disabled by
gunshot wound and the heat at
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on 3 Ju-
ly 1863.He was wounded in the left
arm at Missionary Ridge, Chat-
tanooga, Tennessee, in November
1864.He was discharged on 24July
1865.
Growing Up
We can followthe life of our three
Domeny brothers through the cen-
sua recorda. In 1860 we find the
family in Harrison Township.
There is one puzzle. Living with
them is a Syntha M. Domeny, age
13. We have been unable to
discover who she was. Also, the
baby, Amanda E .. who was with
John and Alzira Domeny in 1850,
did not appear on this census. It is
interesting that just nine houses
away is the home of Rebecca Cox
Dixon McGraw and her family.
Joseph Dixon died in 1853 and
Rebecca was now married to Alex-
ander McGraw. George Domeny's
future wife, Emza, was the
youngest of the children living in
the McGraw home.
By 1870all three Domeny boys
are working on farms. SCynthiaM.
was 23 and a domestic servant.
There are many changes that take
place in the next 10 years. First,
John William Domeny married
Rosannah Murray Dixon Clark on
18 December 1871. George
Washington Brown Domeny mar-
ried Emza Ann Dixon on 1
November 1874 and Henry Ellis
Domeny married Elizabeth Joyce
Dixon on 17February 1878.
George Domeny and wife Emza
uad four children, John, Rebecca,
Mary and Rose, by 1880. Five
houses away we found John and
AlziraDomeny. SCynthia was no
longer with them. However, Henry
E. and his wife Elizabeth. with
their year-old baby, Mary 14'., was
living with them. John William
Domeny and Rosannah and the
four Clark children live some
distance away.
Moving Westward
We can only guess why John
William Domeny and his wife
Rosannah chose to stay in Ohio.
Perhaps it was because of her
Clark children or because of the
elderly John and Alzira Domeny.
Wedo know they stayed in Ohioand
are buried in the Boblett cemetery.
George and Emza, with their six
children, moved to Pottawatomie
County, Kansas, with Emza's
brother Jacob Dixon and wife Han-
nah and her sister Mary and her
husband Shadrack Rotten Tim-
mons and their five children, in the
spring if 1878.George Domeny and
his family went back to Ohio in six
months and then returned to Kan-
sas. Henry Ellis Domeny, with his
wife Joyce and their family, came
westward in 1885.(More about this
move in his section.)
The Dixon, Domeny and Tim-
mons families settled in the
Laclede-Louisville area. The fiat
fertile lands of Pottawatomie Coun-
ty must have delighted the farmers
from the hilly-rocky area of Vinton
County, Ohio.
A Generation Ends
Family legend told us that Alzira
Stevens Domeny died in Harrison
township on 22 May 1888.We have
not been able to document this date
in court records or newspaper ac-
counts. We have proof of the death
date of her husband, John Domeny
Sr. In the will he signed on 28July
1880 he named his wife Alzira
several times as well as all three of
his sons. His death record in the
Vinton County courthouse states he
died of old age on 29March 1899at
the age of 79.His death record said
he was married and the application
to probate the will said he died
leaving Sarah Domeny his widow.
Nu (umUy ll1~mlJcl'" rcml~llllJcr
John Domeny Sr. having a second
wife. The Federal census records
are no help because the 1890
records were destroyed by fire,
leaving the researcher with a blank
20years from 1880to 1900.Wecould
find no record of John Domeny's
marriage to Sarah after Alzira's
death. Who was sarah? The only
clue we have was found in the 1900
census record. Here we fou."1din
Harrison Township, Sarah
Domany, a 56-year-old widow liv-
ing in the general area where John
Domeny Sr. lived. With her is an
unmarried daughter, Maggie
Smallridge, 26 years old, who can
not read or write. Could this be the
widow sarah of John Domeny, Sr.?
We found the graves of John
Domeny Sr., and his wife Alzira in
the old portion of the Boblett
cemetery located about four or five.
miles west of Ratcliffburg, Ohio,on
old Highway SO.
Faniny Skeletons
Many members of the family
have asked if we uncovered apy
family skeletons. That depends
upon how you defme the ~rm. If
you are thinking of horse thieves,
hangings or imprisonment - no.
If you are referring to
"hanky-panky" - well, maybe!
Example: Who was Sylvester
Bambourough/Bamber, bom in
1841? Was Rebecca Cox Dixon
McGraw his mother? He did not
.live with Rebecca and her husband
Joseph Dixon in 1850,he was living
in Eagle Township, Vinton County
with Elizabeth Cox (Rebecca's
mother). He was not listed as an
heir in Rebecca's will. However, on
another document in her file in Vin-
ton County courthouse, he was the
first name on the list of heirs. Could
be have been a child she delivered
without the benefit of bell, bookand
candle?
Which Joseph Dixon was the
father of Humphrey Clark, the
result of an unplanned pregnancy
of Margaret Clark. Was it our
Josepl) Dixon as one researcher
sURgests? Our Joseph was young
and U1UlUU'r!tld, Hvill~ WiUl hilS
parents just a few miles from the
Clark family at the time of Hum-
phrey Clark's birth 24May 1822.
We also must wonder about the
month-old baby, Amanda E., living
with John and Alzira Domeny in the
Guernsey County census in 1850.
John and Alzira were married on 9
July 1850and the census was taken
on 30 July 1850. Who were the
parents of baby Amanda? Did John
and Alzira have a "shotgun" wed-
ding?
This could make a very spicy
story. However, in fairness to our
ancestors, we must say that there
are very logical answers to the
questions just stated. Rebecca
could have befriended some child
named Sylvester. Three other men
named Joseph could have been
Margaret Clark's lover and month-
old baby Amanda could have been
a child that good-hearted John and
Alzira Domeny were caring for.

 Louisville flub of Ancestors Life'
Louisville is one of the oldest
towns in Pottawatomie County.
Before the Civil War it was known
as Rock Port. It is located on the
old Fort Riley Military Road, a
south branch of the Old Oregon
Trail. The town formed where the
road forded Rock Creek. Just east
of town, the 49'ers fought battles
with the Indians and many of them
dic..-d.The 40'ers ahlo had cholera.
Many lives were lost to the dread
. disease. At the Vermillion crossing
east of town are the stone marked
graves of some of the people who
died with the plague.
Louisville was close to the Indian
Reserve. Robert Wilson,who came
to St. Mary's Mission with the In-
dians as a government blacksmith,
was the first settler of what is now
Louisville. He was the first Post-
master and the first, Justice of the
Peace. Wilson's Old Log Cabin was
the stopping place for travel on the
Military Road and can be called the
first hotel in Pottawatomie County.
Horace Greeley, making his trip
across the plains in 1859, spent
several days at this house as the
water in Rock Creek was too high to
ford.
William Darnell and family were
among some of the first settlers in
the area as early as 1855.A big
camping ground was located south
of town, which the westward
travelers with covered wagons us-
ed. There would be from 50 to 75
wagons camped there for days,
while the horses and people rested.
When Pottawatomie County was
organized in 1861, St. George
became the county seat. Louisville,
a fast growing town, wanted to
have the county seat. Aftef many
attempts Louisville received the
ma~orit¥_of vC?tesat an election
held 5 November 1861. The first
meeting of the board of county
commissioners was held in
Louisville on 7 April 1862.The first
town meeting was held in
Louisville on 19 December 1866.
The town plat was filed 17January
1867.
Susan Carey Laird Jewitt, with
her sons John and James Clark
Laird . and lheir famiUeH; her
daughters, Eleanor Metty and
family and Caroline Samantha and
her husband Lester Hauldren with
their children John Elmore and
Rhoda, migrated from Michigan to
the Louisville area in 1871.Jacob
Dixon and his wife Hannah; his
sisters Mary and her husband
Shadrack Roten Timmons and
children and Emza with her hus-
band George Domeny and children,
arrived in Pottawatomie County in
1878 from Ohio. At the close of the
Civil War, soldiers who were
mustered out at Leavenworth, Kan-
sas, came up by stage to Rock Port,
later Louisville, and settled. We
wonder if the fact that James Clark
Laird and Jacob Dixon both served
in the Civil War led these families
to migrate to the Louisville area.
The first newspaper in Pot-
tawatomie County was started in
Louisville on 17 July 1867 by A.
Sellers. The town continued to have
a newspaper with William Lester
Hauldren, Sr. joinipg the staff of
the Louisville Lyre in 1907, pur-
chasing the paper in 1909and mov-
ing the business to St. George in
1911.Other early businesses were:
Two hotels; George Travis, hard-
ware; Eli Bartholemeu, tin shop;
Billy Telcamp, harlless shop; John
Balderson, blacksmith; Justin·
Chilcott, blacksmith; Charles and
'Val Bittman, general store; J.W.
Shaw, general store; Dr. Hed-
dinger's office; flour mill; drug
store; courthouse; pool hall;
barber shop; and a cheese factory.
Patrick Sullivan shod horses; Steve
Rozelle was the well-driller.
The Congregational church was
organized in 1867and the Methodist
church in 1887.Two lodges were
organized in Louisville, the
Workman and Woodman Lodges
and later the Odd Fellow Lodge.
A large park was made in the
west part of town and later it was
extended across Rock Creek
among the trees. A pontoon bridge
was built to cross Rock Creek. In
the Louisville Indicator of 1 March,
1888,the following item appeared:
"The pontoon bridge which gave
handy entrance into beautiful
Lakeside Park from Canal Street
was washed away by the recent
overflow of Rock Creek and the
great inconvenience of people of
this city, especially those living
south of the stream." Two weeks
later in the same paper this item
appeared: "What «lothe citizens of
Louisville think of a proposition to
build a suspension bridge across
Rock Creek which will give en-
trance to Lakeside Park and the
mineral springs. The bridge canbe
built for not more than $150."Some
time later the "swinging" bridge
was built.
The town grew in population until
the county seat was moved to
Westmoreland In the early
eighties. The Union Pacific
Railroad had also built its tracks
along the Kaw River because there
were swamps and buffalo wallows
near Louisville. After the turn of
the century and the appearance of
the automobile, Louisville, steadily
declined as small towns have.

Louisville Springs Park is but a short be secured. There is a permanent

distance from the U.P. Ry. at Wamego,
(100miles west of Kansas City, and an
hour's ride from Topeka). The Springs
are in the center of a 15-acre natural
park, which is entered from Louisville
over a neat suspension foot bridge. The
grounds are beautifully diversified -
high and undulating - well sodded with
blue grass; almost surrounded by the
rippling waters of Rock creek, which af-
fords fishing and boating. At the falls, on
the smooth bedrock ford, is the
children's bathing resort. There are
small falls below with very pretty
scenery. The park is south of the creek
and near the best residence portion of
Louisville, wher~ meals and rooms may
refreshment stand in the park. Many
people spent the summer at the springs.
The waters are beneficial in many
chronic diseases, especially constipa-
tion, dyspepsia, general debility,
disorder of the kidneys, etc. They act as
an invigorator and a tonic for the
system. Camping parties are charged $2
a tent, per week. Cots, gas stoves, chairs,
etc., !:lay also be obtained at low cost.
Light bedding only needed. Bring
bathing suits. Wagonettes connect with
trains. A graveled road ("Dewey
Boulevard") extends from Wamego to
Louisville.

The little town of Laclede was first known as Eagle Postoffice. The school
district was formed 14 May 1870 with John C. Soupene the first teacher. Jennie
Hawson was the teacher in 1875earning about $25.00 per month.
About the time our Dixon, Timmons and Domeny families arrived t
postoffice was changed to Laclede with A.B. Davis appointed postmaster. Mr.
Davis also owned one of the early general stores. L.C. Prunty built a gristmill near
the Laclede bridge. . Taylor had a blacksmith shop. D. Hennekson owned a
restaurant and grocery store. Thomas Prunty owned a general store. Laclede had
a resident doctor at one time, also a drug store. .
Early settlers were John M. Jordon, Jerome Pitney, L.C. Rightmire and I.W.
Zimmerman. John W. Tanner, a Methodist Protestant minister, came to Laclede
from Ohio 1870. Mr. Tanner was the county surveyor at one time.
Two church organizations, the Methodist Protestant and Methodist Episcopal,
held forth in the upper room of the school house.
The Laclede Baptist Church began 12 April 1906. This church has survived
through the years.

We must begin this section with a
warning to all the descendants of
our Domeny line and other
researchers that the first portion of
the work in this section is what has
been pieced together and we think
happened. WE DO NOT HAVE
DOCUMENTED PROOF at this
time (985). Hopefully, we will be
able to find that illusive bit of
evidence that makes it true.
Family legend says that our
Domeny family emigrated from
Germany. They probably landed at
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the
first census of 1790we found a John
Domini in Manor Township, Lan-
caster County, Pennsylvania, just
west of Philadelphia. Living with
him were two males under 16years
and four females including the
head of the family. If this was our
Domeny family they probably
headed north following the Sus-
quehanna River to Lycoming Coun-
ty. We did not find the Domeny
family in the 1800census. Perhaps
they were in a remote area and not
reached by the census taker.
As we stated before we found a
John Dominy in Loyalsock
Township, Lycoming County, Penn.
in four straight censuses, endmg m
1840with him between the ages of
80 and 90. With the help of Rhoda
Ladd of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania,
we found in the Lycoming County
Wills book a Petition dated 17May
1848 to partition the 120 acres of
land in Loyalsock Township, the
real estate of John Dominy who
died intestate in December 1846
leaving his wife Elizabeth and the-
fo))owing children: Christian
(eldest son); Elizabeth; Mary
(widow of Isaac Colins); JOHN;
Catherine; Henry; Heirs of Nancy
(now dec'd. who was the wife of
Charles Gruber) her daughter
Charlotte wife of John Shirk; Heirs
of Michael <who is supposed to be
dead) 2 sons and 1 daughter; Heirs
of Frances (who was wife of
William Soper) names nine
children all living out of state. The
children of Michael also live out of
state.
The will of John's widow
Elizabeth Dominy was dated 17
December 1858 and names her
daughter Ann Wheeland.
Why do we feel this is our
Domeny line? Going back to the
1820 census we found the "old"
John Dominy, over 45years old, his
wife over 45, and living with them
was one boy between 16and 28 and
one girl under 10.Next door to them
lived Christian Dominy between 26
and 45 years in age, his wife the
same age and they had two boys
under the age of 10. Living close to
them was Isaac CoUins, between 26
and 45 years old, lUs wife (Mary
Dominy) the same age, two boys
under 10and two girls under 10.Not
far away was the "young" John
Domine (we have proven he is our
ancestor). Both he and his wife
were between 26 and 45 years old.
They had one »oy and one girl
under 10. One can rightfully con-
clude these people are members of
the same family. However, we
have been unable to prove that the
"young" John Domine is the same
JOHN who appears in the 1848legal
document of the "old" John
Dominy.
Henry Ellis Domeny said in his
Memoirs, "My father, John
Domeny, Sr., was one of a family of
five boys and two girls. Joe learned
the Blacksmith trade and came to
Lebenen, Missouri, and run a shop
there until he died. Justice and Elis
went to California in 1849. I don't
know what became of the other
boys. My grandfather and girls
came to St. Louis, Missouri, he died
there at 93 years of age. John
Domeny, Sr., went to Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania and learned the Car-
riage trade and Wagon and
Machinest trade."
This statement of Henry Ellis
Domeny helped our research a
great deal. It conflrMed that in the
1850census of Jackson Township,
Lycoming County, Pennsylvania,
the John Dominy, age 60, born
(790) in Pennsylvania, and his
wife Mary, age 60, born (790) in
Pennsylvania are the parents of the
five Dominy boys and their twin
sisters. Living with John and Mary
was Justice, age 18, born (1832) in
Pennsylvania and twin girls, Mary
E., and Anna M., age 9, born (1841)
in Pennsylvania. In that same cen-
sus was found a Joseph Dominy,
age 23, born (1827) in Penn-
sylvania, working as a laborer in
Loyalsock Township.
At this point we must observe
that we will have to go back
another generation ,"0 find the
ancestors who emijrated from
Germany since the grandparents of
our three Domeny brothers were
both born in Pennsylvania.
Listing the five Domeny boys we
have John Domeny, Sr. (our
ancestor), Joseph Domeny, Ellis
Domeny, Justice Domeny and
____ Domeny. After finding
the 23-year-old Joseph Domeny in
Lycoming County, Pennsylvania,
in 1850, we began to search
Lebanon, Missouri, and Laclede
County, Missouri, through later
census records. We have been up-
successful in finding this brother
again. U the 18-year-old .Justice of
the 1850Pennsylvania census went
to California with his brother Ellis,
in 1849, he obviously came right
back.
A check of the 1850 cens~ for
California revealed interesting
facts I In El Dorado County we
found Ellis Dominy, age 22, born
(1828) in Pennsylvania and a
Charles Dominy, age 25, born
(825) in Pennsylvania. Living
together, both young men listed
their occupation as miners. Could
Charles be the brother Henry Ellis
Domeny could not remember? We
could find no trace of Charles after
that 1850census.
We did find Ellis Dominy again.
By 1860,in the far north of Califor-
nia in the Smith's River Valley of
Del Norte County we found E. W.
Dominy, age 30, born in Penn-
sylvania with $5,000in real estate
and $700 personal property. With
him was his wife Mary, age 24,born
in Missouri. She was deaf. They
had a year-old baby girl named
Mary. Wewere a little doubtful that
this was our ancestor until we
found him again in 1870.
Ten years later, in the 1870cen-
sus, Ellis W. Domeny was listed in
Crescant Township, Del Norte
County with Crescent City, Califor-
nia, as the post office. Ellis said his
age was 42, born (828) in Penn-
sylvania. He was a farmer with
$500in real estate and $250in per-
sonal property. He had a new wife
named Lucinda, age 'n, born (1833)
in Indiana. Living with them was
the girl Mary (baby in 1860) who
was now 11, another girl, Hanna,
age 8, and a little boy, Ellis, age 6.
Hard times must have hit the area
because many houses are unoc-
cupied. It must have been very
rough country for many people
were listed only with their last
names with the other family
members listed as wife, boy, girl,
child or infant!
The most frustrating part of this
section of research is the fact we
have been unable to find a record of
twin girls Mary E. and Anna M
and their aged father in St. LoUis,
Missouri. We have no idea as to the
year they came west, nor do we
know the married names of the
girls. We must search all of the cen-
sus records for the years 1860,1870
and 1880for the city of St. Louis and
it was a fairly good-sized town. Of
course, there is also the possibility
that they were living in the country,
so this will entaD searching the
township records - oh well, maybe
some day we will fmd him.

 We can begin the story of our
ancestor William Stevens with the
fact that his father came from
England. We think his mother's
name was Margaret, born about
1769 in Maryland. William Stevens
was born 16 July 1793 in Maryland.
He served in the War of 1812, and
settled first in Belmont County,
Ohio. He lived there for two or
three years and then moved to
Guernsey County, Ohio. Mrs. Faye
Dearth of Londonderry, Ohio,
great-great-granddaughter of
William Stevens sent usa list of the
first generation of Stevens
children.:
WILLIAM STEVENS, born 16Ju-
ly 1793 in Maryland. Died 25 July
1880 Vinton County, Ohio. (More
about this man later).
Charles Stevens, no record.
Nancy Stevens, born 5 October
1801. Married Wm. Herron, born
1801, died 1890.
John Stevens, born 1804, died
1872. Married Elizabeth Hawes,
born 1806, died 1890.
Reuben Stevens, born 1807,died
1893. Married Elizabeth Steele,
born 1814, died 1888. Their children,
all born in Ohio: William, 1835;.
Purcilla, 1837; Margaret, 1838;
James and Adam, 1841;Martha J.,
1848; sarah A., 1850.
Uoyd Stevens, born ca. 1810.
Married Nancy Smith, born 1810,
died 1902. Their children, all born in
Ohio: Mary A., 1832; George, 1837;
Aaron, 1839; Benjamin, 1841; Nan-
cyand Margaret, 1846; Jane, 1850.
More about William Stevens. He
was married to Elizabeth Camp,
born 24 October 1800 in Londen.
County, Virginia. Henry Ellis
Domeny said that Elizabeth was a
niece of General Camp of the Union
Army. We found the family living
in Westland Township, Guernsey,
County, Ohio, in the 1850 census.
There must have been a settlement
of Maryland people in the area for
many of the residents listed that
state as their birthplace. William
and Elizabeth's son Aaron and his
wife Jane lived close by in Guern-
sey County. John and Alzira
Stevens Domeny lived in the city of
Cambridge. This group moved to
Vinton County in 1851.
Henry Ellis Domeny said that his
grandpa Stevens lived one mile
east of the Domeny family. One can
see this in the 1860census record
for Robert Stevens, now married to
Elizabeth Barnett, with their three
children, Mary E., George W., and
Lusia S.; Aaron Stevens and wife
Jane Stone, with their five children,'
William M., Fently M., Arista C.,
Ida M., and Robert F.; John
Domeny with his wife Alzira
Stevens and their three boys, John
W., George W.B., and Henry E.;
and old William and Elizabeth
Stevens with their daughter Ruth
and her son Charles W.and all lived
next door to each other, in the area
just north of Ratcliffburg. This
area today (1985) is still known as
Stevens Hollow.
There was more interweaving of
families when Margaret Stevens on
25 February 1854married Robert
Dixon, the son of Joseph Dixon and
his first wife Jane Brown.
William and Elizabeth Stevens
had two children who «Udnot get
married. Charles Stevens, born in
1836 (the census record said 1838,
however, since neither William nor
Elizabeth could read or write,
couldn't trust the census record)
only lived until he was 20, death 31
December 1856.The other children,
a daughter Ruth, and her son
Charles Wesley, lived with her
parents until after old Elizabeth
died on 26 July 1877. After this
William went to live with Aaron
and Jane and Ruth lived on the
farm with Charles Wesley and in
the 1880 census she had a daughter
Iva F. who was 6 years old.
William Stevens had a severe fall
on. Wednesday breaking his thigh
bone. He died on Sunday 25 July
1880.
For a complete listing of the
children of William Stevens see the
family History Record in this sec-
tion.

 The Dixon - Cox Linea8e
We must give credit for the
research of our Dixon line to Dar-
rell H. Mason of Omaha, Nebraska,
great-great-grandson of Joseph
Dixon and Rebecca Cox Dixon.
Darrell and his wife Millie spent
three weeks in Vinton County,
Ohio, the summer of 1982.He col·
lected a massive amount of Dixon·
Cox data that he very generousl)
shared with us. Without hb
research we would not have. th~
great Dixon lineage in this book.
Information on our Dixon line
begins in 1630with Henry Dixon
and his wife Rose, both Quakers,
living in Armagh County, Ireland.
Their son William came to
America to stay in 1688,settling in
Delaware. His son George Dixon,
with his wife Anne Chandler Dixon,
moved to North Carolina about
1764. Two generations 'later, our
William Dixon moved his family
from North Carolina to Vinton
County, Ohio.
Our Dixon family was not the
first Dixons to arrive in this area.
Three brothers, Daniel, George,
and Jonathan Dixon, came from
Chatham County, North Carolina,
in 1800 and seUted nortbwest of
Londonderry. Joseph, samuel and
Jesse Dixon (also brothers) came
from Chatham County, North
Carolina, Samuel in 1802 and
Joseph and Jesse in 1803.They set-
tled southeast of Londonderry.
Joseph built a saw and grist mill on
salt Creek in 1804.
William Dixon and sarah Johns,
his wife, with their children, came
from Randolph County (adjoining
Chatham County), North Carolina,
about 1807, and settled' near
Ratcliffsburg. William and sarah
had 10 children. Two of these
clfuJren are important to our
history. ,.
The first is Joseph, our direct
ancestor. We know he was born 25
August 1803in North Carolina. We
have been unable to find the date of
his first marriage to Jane Brown,
who her parents were or the date of
her death. We do know they had
seven children. The oldest child,
Nancy, born about 1827.Followed,
by Sarah, Eleanor, Robert,
Rachel, Rebecca, and Jane. The
1850census of Harrison Township,
Vinton County, Ohio, lists Robert,
born 1833,Rachell, born 1835,and
Jane, born 1841.From this we can
compute that Joseph and Jane
Brown were married at least 15
years and her death occurred be-
tween 1841 and early 1843 when
Joseph was married to Rebecca
Cox. That same 1850census record·
not only lists the three children of
Joseph's fIrst marriage but shows
that he and Rebecca have had five
children in the seven years they
have been married. Living three
houses away is Joseph's brother
Lemuel Dixon and his wife Rosan-
.na Graves Dixon and their six
children.
We know that Joseph and Rebec-
ca had two more girls, Margaret,
born 20September 1851,and Emza
Ann, born 'Z1 May 1853,just seven
months before Joseph died on 12
December 1853.
William Dixon, the first born of
Joseph and Rebecca's children, re-
mained in Vinton County. He mar-
ried Martha Elizabeth Gibson, rais-
ed a family of ten children and died
in 1919at the age of 76. Two of the
children, Ruth and Joseph, went to
Nebraska. Ruth married George A. I
Dixon. She died at Hamilton,
Nebraska, in 1888at the age of 41.
Joseph married Jane Dixon and
moved to Hamilton where he died
in 1880 ~t the age of 31. One of
Joseph and RePecca's daughters
remained in OhtQ.Margaret mar-
ried Madison Argenbright in 1867,
when she was 16. The 1870census
for Harrison Township listed
Rebecca, now the widow of Alex-
ander McGraw, with her daughter
Emza Ann who was 15.Living with
them was Margaret, age 18, with
her 22-year-old husband, Madison
Argenbright, and their' year-old
daughter, Nancy J. Margaret died
five years later, 1875,at the age of
24. The 1870 census also showed
that Rebecca's oldest son, William,
and family lived next door to her.
i'he remaining three children of
Joseph and Rebecca moved to Kan-
sas.
Jacob Dixon was first married to
Emza Margaret Ankrom in Vinton
County, Ohio.Wedo not know when
this marriage took place. However,
there is a record of the marriage of
their son, Joel Dixon, to Alice Rug-
gles on 18November 1880in Vinton
County. Jacob served in the Civil
War in Company G, 73rd Regiment
of Ohio Infantry from 11December
1861until 31December 1864.He and
his wife were divorced on 19March
1865.It is interesting to note, not on-
ly did Jacob serve in the same regi-
ment with the Ratcliff boys, but
Alexander Vanderford, husband of
Jacob's half-sister Nancy Dixon,
also served in the 73rd OhioVol. In-
fantry, during the Civil War I Jacob
was married to Hannah Drake on
25February 1877and they moved to
Pottawatomie County, Kansas, in
the spring of 1878.
The two Dixon girls who came to
Kansas with Jacob and Hannah
were Mary and her husband
Shadrack Roten 'fimmons and Em-
za Ann and her husband George
Washington Brown Domeny. The
1899Pottawatomie County map of
Center Township shows Jacob Dix-
on's farm in section 23and the Tim-
mons farm in section 17. We
wonder if the Jas Argonbright and
the C. Argonbright owning land in
section 5 are related to the husband
of Margaret Dixon.

George ond Emzo Dixon Domeny
were not happy in Kansas, so they
returned to Ohio in six months.
After they came back to Kansas,
they settled on a farm north of
Louisville.
The second child of William and
sarah Johns Dixon important to
our history because of events in her
life is Ruth Dixon who married
John Clark at Chillicothe, Ohio, 5
November 1818. Ruth and John
were the parents of ten children:
William, John, Henry, Jesse,
James, Joseph, Jane, sarah, Polly
and Amy. Sarah was born 1
November 1820.She was married to
Ezekiel Ratcliff. He fell off a horse,
broke his neck and died at the age
of ~. Their sons, William and
Simon Wesley served during the
Civil War in the 73rd Ohio Vol. In-
fantry with Jacob Dixon.
As we researched the life of the
oldest of the three Domeny boys,
John William and his wife Rosan-
nah, we noticed that the stats on
her husband John Clark were much
the same as the John Clark who
was married to Ruth Dixon. We
secured a copy of the will of John
Clark dated February 1870(he died
in December 1870)and sure enough
the John Clark who was married to
Ruth Dixonwas also the husband of
Rosannah, later the wife of John
William Domeny.
Cox Linea8e
We have very little information
on the ancestors of our Rebecca
Cox. Her parents were Jacob Cox
and Elizabeth Rains Cox. We know
that Jacob, the son of Nicholas Cox
and Rebecca Hinshaw Cox, was
born 25 March 1792,but not where
he was born. We are sure that
through his mother they were
Quakers because William Waldo
Hinshaw wrote an Encyclopedia of
American Quaker Genealogy. We
also know that there were more of
Rebecca Hinshaw Cox's family in
Vinton County. A John Hinshaw
married Margaret Ratcliff 19
January 1809in Chillicothe, Ohio,
and on 25 July 1816a Joseph Hin-
shaw married sarah Ratcliff. We
also know that Jacob Cox had two
sisters in the area: Mary Cox,
daughter of Nicholas Cox, born
1784,was the wife of Daniel Dixon.
Her sister, Catherine, born 14June
1782,was married to George Dixon.
Mary died 25 September 1846and
Catherine died 23 December 1857.
Both are buried in the Peecher

Jacob Cox was married to
Elizabeth Rains on 15January 1818.
Elizabeth was born 10 September
1795, the daughter of Lawrence
Rains and Ann McManus or
McManners Cox. The Rains family
were pioneer settlers of Eagle
TowlUlhip, Vinton County, Ohio, Dr-
riving around 1813.Anearly history
bookof the area said that Lawrence
Rains built the first mill on salt
Creek, at the mouth of Pike Run,
about 1813,and shortly afterward
SolomonCox erected one on Pretty
Run. Benjamin Rains built a com-
bined grist and sawmill in Richland
Township in 1843.
Our Rebecca Cox Dixon
McGraw, born 12 OCtober 1818in
Ross County, Ohio, was the oldest
child of Jacob and Elizal>ethRains
Cox. She spent most of her life in
Vinton County caring for children.
She was married to Joseph Dixon
16February 1843and helped raise
his children by his fIrst marriage.
She and Joseph had seven children.
She was left a widow with the
youngest child 6 months old with
the death of Joseph 12 December
1853.When she married Alexander
McGraw, 11 years her senior, she
acquired his children, Evangela
and George, the same age as the
two oldest Dixon children.
No doubt our Rebecca had a good
deal of practice caring for children
because she was the oldest of a
family of 13. Her brothers and
sisters were Joel, Eli, Ann,
Nichola, Mahlen, sarah, Jacob,
Jr., Elizabeth, Ruth, Hannah,
Stephen and Matilda.

 Army Sllver Star
To Guy B. Dalley
For "Gallantry"
Guy B. Dailey, commander of the
Pearce-Keller American Legion
post, has been awarded the United
States army Silver Star for gallan-
try in action by President F.D.
Roosevelt. (May 1940.)
The award was made on Com-
mander Dailey's presentation of a
citation awarded him at Chateau
Thierry June 11, 1918,by John A.
Ljeune, major general of the
United States marine corps.
Commander Dailey, reticent as
are others who fought in France,
told of the action that brought him
the citation.
At Chateau Thierry in June, 1918,
the company Dailey was in went
over the top in waves to protect the
right flank. After the maneuver
was completed, the detachment·
was supposed to retreat. So many
men in front of Dailey's squad were
killed that they never received the
order, so dug in to spend the night.
Next morning Dailey woke up to
.fmd the enemy less than I1alf a
block away.
Eight men, in his squad, were left
on the line and Corporal Dailey led
a successful retreat to his own
lines.
Printed May 19~
Probably Manhattan Marcury paper
(The following is part of an article
about Guy Dailey that was in the
Kansas State Collegian in
November 1979.)
Guy B. Dailey enlisted in the Ar-
my on May 8, 1917.He was shipped
to camp Nooton D. Baker at Fort
Blish, Texas. Here he was placed in
the 2nd Division and trained as a
mounted engineer.
"It took 22days to cross the pond.
We lost our horses over on the Irish
Sea; they were sunk by the Ger-
mans," Dailey said. His division
landed at La Harve, France.
His "first time over-the-top"
came on June 6, 1918, at Vaux,
France, but it wasn't his last.
Dailey also came out of trenches in
the Battle of Belleau Woods, while
helping to hold the southern Allied
line. In the battle Dailey received
t!te Siler Star for gallantry in ac-
tion.
"About seven or eight of us woke
up one morning in front of a whole
line of Germans; we hadn't got the
word to fall back. I decided we'd
better get, so we took out. Then for
a while they wouldn't let us back on
our own side because they thought
we were spies," Dailey said.
Clippings from
Betty Dalley Brotherson
Guy Dailey had an excellent
memory for we found the battles he
mentioned in our 1927Reference
Books an4 Funk It: Wagnalls.
At the beginning of 1918the Ger-
mans, realizing ~t victory by
means of submarine warfare was
impossible, it was ~perative to
force a decision on the Western
front before the Americans arrived
in fo~e. The GermaiJs laqnched a
m8S$lve attack 21 Marph 1918
reaching a. point only tf1ir1y-seven
miles from Paris. During UUs bat-
tle American troops fIrst went into
battle, and on 6 June 1918the Ger-
mans were ~ttacked and defeated
by American marines at Vilny and
the heights southeast of Haute
Vesnes. It was on'the 9th of June
that Dailey came out of the
trenches at Belleau Woods.
The GerDlans laqnched another
great offensive mov"ment !>n15Ju-
ly in the Cbateau-T!J!erryarea. The
battle raged for three da~ before
they were defeated and had to
be~!n to retreat. Many miltiary
cntlcs regarded this battle the
turning point of the entire war.
Guy Dailey served for 29months
most of them in France on· th~
front.

Dear Westy Friends.

this year is unable to because of
poor health.

Southern California. My brother.
Bob and Mother each have homes
in Chula Vista. just south of San
Diego. My family apd I live in the
northern part of San Diego aboard
the Naval Air Station.
Mother had a stroke November
21, 1979 and spent about a month
in a convalescent home after a
two week stay in the hospital. She
was home for six weeks and went
back into the hospital for another
three weeks and is now in a
convalescent home. We are not
sure at this point just how long
she will have to remain there. She
does get lonely and would enjoy
hearing from any of her old
friends. You may use my address
if you would like to write her.
Mother's brother. Howard
Kersey. passed away January
1978 and January 1979 his wife.
Opal. passed away. Her youngest
sister, Esther K. McGrath lives in
Pacific Beach, California. Two
other sisters. Ruth K. Hart and
Sarah K. Strickland both live in
Escondido, California.
We've had some Kansas com·
pany but the visits are always tOO
short. Arnold. and Fern Grutz·
Dl"-:her brought· their daughter,
Virginia Ann, from R.iverside for a
quick visit. We all had lunch with
Bob and Beuy then went to visit
Mother. .
Aunt Clara and Uncle Fritz
Fritzler are in the area for a few
weeks to get away from the cold
weather in Holton. We haven't
seen near enough of them.
I've noticed from The Recorder
where many old friends have also

It's sure no fun and do hope each
of you are on the road to recovery .
If my actions were as good as my
illtl:lltiolls you would all hear frum
me often.
My husband, Vem and ( made
a whirlwind trip through your
area last summer. Not enough
time to contact everyone or spend
the time we'd like to. Since I
always free load off my relatives
in the area I'm not sure (dare try
to stay longer. They always roll
out the red carpet and (love it and
appreciate it.
As the years go by I seem to
recognize less and less of the
names on the letters in the
Reunion. I still enjoy reading
them and my Mother looks
forward each year in hearing from
and about her long time friends.
and about her long time frie~ds.
Our family left Westy in 1937
but some of Our fondest memories
are of Westy and our many
friends and family. The Reunion
is such a wonderful way to keep in
touch. Thanks for the opportun-
ity.
Best Wishes to all.

 John WilliamDomeny
The major project on our trip to
Vinton County, Ohio, the summer
of 1983 was to research the life of
John William Domeny. We knew
only that he had stayed in Ohioand
was buried there. His wife's name
was Rosanah and they had no
children. Armed with this meager
knowledge and an 1875 map of Har-
rison Township, we went to the
courthouse in McArthur, Ohio. We
soon found the marriage of John W.
Domeny to Mrs. Rosanna Clark on
13 December 1871. The name Clark
rang a bell. We looked at the Har-
rison Township map and there be-
tween two small parcels of land
owned by Mrs. Rosanna Domeny
was a large tract owned by the
heirs of John Clark. We looked at
the will box for this man long
enough to find a document confirm-
ing that Rosanna was the widow of
John Clark. We found John W.
Domeny's obituary in the local
newspaper, telling of his death on
16 October 1932. Found the death on
'n December 1901 of Rosanna in the
court rocordN. Tlwy hoth uro buriod
in the Boblett cemetery.
When we got back to Kansas we
looked for John and Rosanna in the
1880 census records. There they
were in Harrison Townshipwith the
four Clark children, Pearly, Mary
E., Samuel and Enos. At this point
in time the Memoirs of Henry Ellis
Domeny arrived and he said,
"After Roseaner and Joel Dixon
separated, she married John Clark
and they raised four children,
Pearley, Mary, Samuel and Enos."
Suddenly we realized that the Ro-
lZe8ner, mother of Henry Ellis
Domeny's wife, Joyce, was also
Rosanna, the wife of his brother
John William Domeny.
We looked up the 1870 census for
Harrison Township and found John
Clark, age 72, born in North
Carolina, his wife, Rosannah, age
30, and the four Clark children.
Josey Dixon, age 12,was also living
with them. The stats on old John
Clark sounded vaguely familiar so
we sent to Vinton County for a copy
of his will. When we received the
will, we were in for another sur-
prise. The John Clark who was
married to Rosanna had also been
married to Ruth Dixon, sister of
our ancestor, Joseph Dixon.
The will, written 15 February
1870 (John Clark died 25 December
1870) left Rosanna the farm on
which they lived complete with
household goods, livestock and
farming equipment for as long as
she lived. He added a word of cau-
tion that should she intermary
there should be no waste made of
the lands and tenaments, goods and
chullt'1M. TIle' IIC'Xt dum'll
the real estate he had given to
Rosanna, at the time of her death,
would go to the three Clark boys,
Purley, Samuel and Enos. He gave
his daughter Mary $200and Joisey
Dixon $50. The remainder of the
estate went to the 10children of his
first wife, Ruth Dixon. We have
given details of this will because we
wondered if it would hold up.
We found John and Rosanna
Domeny in the 1900 census living
between samuel and Enos Clark.
Both men were married and had
families. Both men were farmers
and renting their land. John
Domeny was a 48-year-old farmer
who could read and write and own-
ed his farm. Rosanna was 60years
old. She has had six children and
four were still living. She could not
read or write. Weknow that Rosan-
na died 26 December 1901 so we
went to the census of 1910.
John Domeny was 58 years old,
widowed, did odd jobs and did not
own any property. He was living
with Enos and his family, and
Enos, as well as Samuel, now own-
ed their farms! Looks like the will
did hold up.
So our readers are not confused
we will repeat: John William
Domeny, born 12 June 1851 in Har-
rison Township, Vinton County,
Ohio, the first son of John Domeny,
Sr., and his wife Alzira Stevens
Domeny. Rosanna Murray, born 16
December 1839 in Adams County,
Ohio, the daughter of Jesse Murray
and Eleanor Graves Murrav.
Hui.1 thut JOliN fU)MENY
John Domeny, aged 81 years,
died at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Harper, Ratcliffsburg, Sun-
day morning. He leaves no local
relatives but has a brother, H.E.
Domeny, who lives at Maryland,
Okla.
Funeral services were scheduled
for 1 o'clock Wednesday at the
Boblitt church, with Bro. George
Arganbright in charge. Interment
will be in the Boblitt cemetery
under the direction of W.W. Tinker.

George Domeny Stricken with
Heart
Failure Dies Tuesday Morning
This community was shocked to
learn of the sudden death of George
Dom~ny, 79, at his home Tuesday
mormng.
Mr. Domeny had gone to his
garden and dug potatoes for dinner
and then went out and was cutting
the grass on the lawn when with-
out warning, he was ~tricke~ with
heart failure and died almost in-
stantly. He had not been well for a
few days but his condition was at no
time considered serious. He pro-
bably became overheated and that
with high blood pressure brought
on the fatal attack.
Well known and most highly
respected, Mr. Domeny was one of
the good citizens of Wamego for
many years.
Mr. Domeny was seventy-nine
years old last April. The family
came from Ohio in 1878 and first
located at Onaga. Later he farmed
near Laclede and Broderick and
moved to Wamego in 1907where he
since resided.
He is survived by his wife and
four d.au~ters, Mrs. Bert Kersey
of Cahforma, Mrs. E.T. Rickert of
Carbondale, Kans., Mrs. Fletcher
Brock and Mrs. A.E. Owens of
Wamego; also two brothers in dis-
tant states.
The.funeral will probably be held
on FrIday at the Methodist church
although definite arrangemen~
have not been made. The daughter
from California is expected to be
here for the funeral.

a lingering illness of a year, of
"heart trouble, that baffled the skill
of the best physicians of the county
and Kansas City, and when inform-

all to Hi~ that doeth all things well,
and With her companion
~hildren ;Surrounding her bed, led
III repeatlllg the Lord's Prayer and
song, "Take Me As I Am."
In the death of. Sister Domeny
there is left an aching void. None
knew her but to love her. She was
buried in the Laclede cemetery on

large number of friends and
relatives. The funeral sermon was
preached at the home by Rev. W.D.

And all our hearts are riven
By death's relenUess hand.
Dear sister thou hast left us,
Cut do'A-nin prime of life,
And left tbe one heart broken.
That chose thee for his wife.
Still may the hand that led thee,
Through storms and sunshine here,
Be the one to safely lead him
To the one he loves o'er there.

And notes the sparrows fall,

Thora Ollie, the youngest child of
George and Emza Domeny was
born in Pottawatomie County, 10
July 1889. She died 1 July 1890
three days before her first birth:
day.
We were unable to fmd an ac-
count of her death in the local news-
papers. Her sister, Sarah Domeny
Owens, thought she had diphtheria.
In our newspaper -search we
found that the summer of 1890was
hot and dry. The Pottawatomie
C:OuntyTimes, on July 11said, "Not
smce 1860have such intense beat
and: extreme drought been ex-
penenced together as we m.ve had
recently. With the exception of July
4, every day for the • tbree
weeks has been a scorcher." Even
Rock Creek bad gone dry.
There was an oQtbreak of
diphtheria, causing the ~ncella-
tion of public gatherings.
Thora Ollie is buried beside her
~ister Cora Ellen and their plother
m the Laclede Cemetery.

fiT
EMPORIA.
The Junior "LYRE."
Hauldren-Domeny.
W.L. Hauldren, the junior
member of the LYRE firm, and
Miss Allie M. Domeny of Topeka
were married in Emporia Wednes-
day at nigh noon, by Rev. MacCur-
dy, pastor of the First Methodist
church of that place. After the
ceremony they departed for Green-
wood county, where they will visit
his relatives for a few days, they
will also visit other points of in-
terest before returning. The bride
is the daughter of G.W. Domenyof
Wamego and was raised moslly in
this county; she has a host of
friends in this locality and in
Topeka, where she has lived for
several years. It is unnecessary to
comment on the groom as he is
known to most people in this locali-
ty and is a friend to all. Mr.
Hauldren has fitted up a neat home
in this place and expects to com-
plete the furnishing on their return,
about February 1. Louisville people
are to be congratulated on having
this worthy young couple locate in
our midst as they are the class of
citizens who add to the place and
will be a help to every improve-
ment that will tend to the up build-
ing of our community. As we are
closely connected in business af-
fairs we refrain from doing justice
to this young couple in this article,
but suffice it to say, from what we
know personally no better people
are on our list of friends. One half of
the LYRE wishes them health, hap-
piness and prosperity and will
pledge ourselves to do our best to
make life pleasant for them in the
future and will endeavor to make
as much noise at the charivari as
anyone in the crowd.

 We wanted to include an account
of the World War I service of Alva
Owens in this book. With the help of
his daughter, Helen Owens Peters,
his Discharge Papers, Reference
Books published in 1927and Funk &:
Wagnalls, we have been able to
piece together the following facts.
The United States declared war
on Germany on 6 April 1917.Alva
Owens volunteered for the Army at
Manhattan, Kansas, just 20 days
. later, 26Apri11917.We do not know
where he received his basic train-
ing. We do know it was special for
he was a 1st Class Gunner in the
Anti-Aircraft of the Artillery of the
lstArmy.
This war provided a great
stimulus to the production and
miltiary use of airplane and air-
ship. Germany had superiority in
the air on the Western front until
mid 1916 when it passed to the
British. In April, 1918,when Alva
Owens first saw combat, the United
States had three air squadrons at
the front; by November, 1918, it
had forty-five.
. The record of Owens stated that
he served continuous active service
on the front in the Alsace Sector
from 16 April 1918to rl October
1918. Then in the Verdun Sector
from 30 October 1918 to 11
November 1918.
There is no doubt that Alva
Owens went into combat in the
Chateau-Thierry area moving
westward under the command of
General John J. Pershing to attack
the Hindenburg line. Here the at-
tack was centered on the Argonne
Forest. The battle continued forty-
one days, one of the greatest
military engagements ever under-
taken by Americans in any war.
There were twenty-one American
divisions, totalling 800,000men on
the battle line. .
Alva Owens was one of the many
soldiers to be "gassed," leaving
him to suffer the remainder of his
life. The government said he could
wear two gold war service
chevrons!
Owens was entitled to travel pay
and reduced railroad fare, to
Manhattan, Kansas, and dis-
charged at Camp Funston on 28
March 1919. He had served his
country for 23months and received
$346.83mustering out pay.

 fIenry Ellis Domeny
When we tell the life story of
Henry Ellis Domeny, born 22 July
1855in Harrison township, Vinton
county, Ohio, the youngest son of
John Domeny, Sr. and his wife
Alzira Stevens Domeny, we must
first cover the ancestors of his wife,
Elizabeth Joyce Dixon, born 15
April 1858 near Rays, Ohio, the
daughter of Joel Dixon and Rosan-
na Murray Dixon.
w~ :searched Ul~ C~IU:iU:S recUl'Wi
of Vinton county and located Joel
Dixon only one time. In september
of 1850we found the home of an
Abraham Cox, age 52, a farmer
born in Virginia and his wife Han-
nah, age 44 born in Ohio. Living
with them were Lydia Dixon, age
15, born 1835 in Ohio; Mary J.
Rains, age 11, born 1839in Ohio;
Joel Dixon, age 12, born 1838 in
Ohio. Even though we were unable
to find the parents of this boy we
feel he is the right one because of
his age. This Joel Dixonwas born in
1838and Rosanna Murray was born
in 1839.We could fmd no trace of
him in other census records so
assume he left the area soon after
the birth of Joyce in 1858.
The 1860 census in June lists
Rosannah and 2-year-old Joice liv-
ing with Rosanna's parents, Jesse
and Ellen Murray in Harrison
township. By the 1870 census,
Rosanna was married to John
Clark and Joyce was living with
them.
Henry Ellis Domeny and
Elizabeth Dixon were married 17
February 1878, in Vinton county,
Ohio by the Rev. Chas. H. McCor-
mick. Two years later in June of
1880we found them living with John
Domeny, Sr. and Alzira. Henry E.
was age 24 and a farmer,
Elizabeth, age 23, listed as a
daughter-in-law and baby Mary F.,
age 1, listed as a granddaughter.
We found the birth record of Mary
Florence in Vinton county and her
mother's name on this document
was, Elizabeth Rejoice! Also saw
the birth record of their second
child William and his middle name
was spelled Elmore.
Farmers in Vinton county
cleared the timber from the crest
of the steep hills, creating farms.
Henry Ellis Domeny owned one of
these "hill top" farms. Four of the
UOll1cny childrcn WC1'O born in
Ohio: Mary Florence, 1878;
William Elmer, 1880;Elza Homer,
1883;Rose Zella, 1885.Joyce must
have stayed in Ohiowaiting for the
birth of Rose Zella before moving
to Kansas.
Henry Ellis wrote in his
Memoirs, "In the spring of 1885I
sold my Hill Farm. Reserved the
house, barn, hoglot and pasture till
November 1885.I went to Kansas
and left my family on the farm. I
located in Morton county, Kansas"
two and one half miles east of Rich-
field, only there was no Richfield
there then. In October 1885my wife
had a sale and came to Kansas."
(Brave lady, did all this with four
small children, one a month-old
baby.)
"I met her at Ft. Dodge. A man
with a team met us at Faken. We
went 60 miles south and a little
west, where I had a good half dug-
out on the claim. Harry Owens
Domeny was born 1 December
1887,Pearley F. Domeny born 18
May 1889,"Henry Ellis said.
He remembered, "In september
1889 we started east, located at
Winfield, Kansas. MabelIa Opal
Domeny was born 4 July 1892.The
Cherokee Strip was opened for
settlement on 16September 1893.I
lost my horse in the race and got no
claim." The Cherokee Strip or
Cherokee Outlet was created in
1892 when the Cherokee Indians
sold to the U.S. government their
western territorial extension in
Oklahoma. Another coincidence,
the two Hauldren boys, Jack and
Billy (the husband of George
Domeny's daughter Alzira) were
also in the Cherokee Strip run, with
no more luck than Domeny. Henry
Ellis recounts, "I bought a claim
two miles west of Tonkawa,
Oklahoma. We moved on it in
Murch of 1/194. 1(1l1.('1 MUl' Dom('ny
was born bere 20February 1897. In
February 1904I boUght the farm
eight miles east and one south of
(Bliss) Marland, Oklahoma. We
moved on it in 1905."
Clyde Domeny of Boise, Idaho,
grandson of Henry Ellis,
remembers that his grandfather
planned to go as far south as the
Canadian river during the "strip
run" but his horse stumbled in a
Prairie Dog hole, when only about
twenty miles into Oklahoma. The
family stayed only a short time on
the claim west of Tonkawa because
it was too sandy to raise good
crops. The farm Henry Ellis bought
from the homesteader is sixteen
miles southeast of Ponca City. He
lived there the remainder of his life
and the farm is still in the Domeny
family.
We regret we were unable to get
a history of the Oklahoma area
where the Domeny family lived.
We would like to know more about
the Otoe Mission northeast of Red
Rock, Oklahoma, where several of
the older Domeny children were
married. Perhaps we can add this
at a later date.
Henry Ellis Domeny and his wife
Joyce were survivers. They were
married 62 years and endured
many hardships. Joyce died at
their home on 25 April 19oW. Henry
Ellis joined her ten years later on
10January 1950.

One of the most largely attended

funerals ever held in the city was
that of Elmer W. Domeny at the
Methodist Church this afternoon.
Practically the whole community in
which he has lived for many years
was present at the service. and Pon-
ca City people were present in large
numbers. filling the large church to
standing room. Elmer was very
popular in the little town of Ford.
where he lived and in all the sur-
rounding country. and was well
known and highly respected in this
city. The pastor of the church
delivered and unusually fine and
impressive sermon. and the choir
music was excellent. The young
man whose useful life seems to
have ended all to soon. leaves a
devoted wife. father. mother. four
sisters and three brothers. one of
the brothers being a soldier in our
army in France.
