OBITUARY for MOSES ADAMS
Died. at the hospital for the insane
Mt. Pleasant, on Sunday, August 7, 1898, Moses
Adams, aged 64 years, 9 months, 15
days.
The deceased was an old and respected
citizen of What Cheer and was only
effected with the sad malady which
produced his death a little more than one
year. The PATRIOT will have
a biographical sketch of him for its next
issue.
The remains were brought to What Cheer and
the funeral services held at the Baptist
church to-day, Tuesday, at 1 o'clock p.
m., conducted by Elder James McCoy.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Moses Adams was born October 22,
1833 in Ross County, Ohio, and at the age
of 22 he emigrated to Washington County,
Iowa.
On the 2nd day of November, 1850, he was
married to Elizabeth Gwinn[sic--should
be Gwin]. Of this
union three children were born, John
K. Adams of St. Louis, R. W.
Adams of Sylvania, Mo., and Mrs.
Mattie Adams Hampton of What Cheer,
Iowa.
In 1883 he moved from Washington County to
What Cheer, where he resided continuously
until his death, which occurred at the
hospital for the insane at Mt. Pleasant on
August 7, 1898.
Mr. Adams was a steady, industrious, and
honest man. He was a hard worker
until continued ill health caused the
weakening of his mental powers, and it was
found advisable to send him to the
hospital about a year ago. His
relatives have the sympathy of all in
their bereavement.

John
M. Gwin Comments
Nature seems to have
intended that man shall enjoy a
season of rest in the evening of
life. In his younger years
he is full of hope, energy, and
ambition, and later his
activities are guided by the
wisdom and experience which his
former years have brought.
If his labors are well directed,
he can attain the competence
that will enable him in the
evening of life to rest from
former labor. Such has
been the record of William S.
Bartholomew, now a retired
farmer of Washington, who for
twenty-two years has made his
home in this city although he
did not dispose of his farm
property consisting of three
hundred and twenty-three acres
of land, until about five years
ago. Since 1845 he has
made his home in Washington
County, Iowa.
For his second
wife, Mr. Bartholomew chose Mrs.
Elizabeth Adams, the
widow of Moses
Adams and a daughter
of Richard W. and Nancy (Wadkinks)
Gwin. She was
born April 20, 1845 in a
little town then called Flint
Hills but now Burlington,
Iowa.
Her father was a native of Chester,
England, and a son of
William
Gwin,
who was likewise born in
Chester. Coming
to America, he spent his last
days in Tennessee.
He
at
one
time
owned
a
number
of
slaves
while
living
in
the
south,
but,
becoming
convinced
that
the
practice
of
slavery was wrong, he gave his
bondsmen their freedom.
Wadkinks
= Watkins
Richard W. Gwin was
born in east TN; it was
Richard's grandpa or
GREAT-grandpa who was from
Europe. Isham was b.
in VA.
William
= Isham
Isham spent his last days in
Orange Co., IN, not TN.
His wife bore
the maiden name of Arteberry.
Arteberry = Canterbury
Their son,
Richard W. Gwin, came to America
when he was fourteen years of age and was
graduated
from the college at Nashville,
Tennessee.
Prior to his marriage he removed
to Orange
Co., Indiana, and
subsequently became a resident
of Sangamon
County, Illinois,
whence he went to Des
Moines County, Iowa,
and arrived in Washington
County in 1846.
Iowa was still under territorial
government at that time, and
many sections of the state were
entirely unsettled and
unimproved. Mr. Gwin
entered a large tract of land
upon which he resided until 1856, when
he removed to Kansas,
being a resident of that state
during the troublous times which
preceded the Civil War when the
territory was a point of contest
between the pro-slavery and
antislavery parties.
Mr. Gwin was a personal friend
of John Brown, the
noted abolitionist.
Richard
W. Gwin was b. in what
is now the Wear Valley,
Sevier Co., TN, in 1804,
to Isham and Mary
(Canterbury) Gwin.
I've not seen any
indication that he ever
left the area to attend
college anywhere.
When his parents and
other family and
neighbors moved to IN
btw. 1817 and 1819, he
went with them. The data
in this bio must have
come from someone
(Elizabeth?) who did not
have a clear
understanding of her
parents' history.
This paragraph's
timeline seems correct.
Whether or not Richard
W. Gwin knew John Brown
is anyone's guess.
It certainly could have
been true. I don't
think that there is any
attempt in this bio to
embellish the truth, but
it is clear that some
things did tend to get
mixed up between what
actually happened and
Elizabeth's
understanding of what
she heard growing up.
He married Nancy
Wadkinks, a daughter of John
Wadkinks,
who was a native of Holland
and, on coming to America,
settled in Grayson
County, Kentucky.
He
was
a
farmer
and
a
country
minister
of
the
Hardshell
Baptist
church.
His
wife
was
Anna Bronk,
who was also born in
Holland. Their daughter,
Nancy, became the wife of
Richard Gwin, and among their
children was Mrs.
Bartholomew. The father
died at Independence,
Kansas, in 1878
at the age of eighty-two years,
while the mother passed away in
1879
at the age of eighty-one
years. They were the
parents of sixteen children, of
whom the following are living:
Jane, Sarah, Eliza, John,
Elizabeth, Caroline, Richard,
Anna, Martin Van Buren, and
Walter. By her former
marriage Mrs. Bartholomew had
three children:
25.01--John
K. Adams, who
married Augusta Koogler and
died leaving two
children--Willa May Adams and
Albert W. Adams;
25.02--Richard
W. Adams, a
resident of Casper, Wyoming,
who married Frances E.
Kesler--they have one child,
Hazel Adams; and
25.03--Matta
Adams is the wife
of Grant Hampton, living near
Oskaloosa, Iowa, and they have
one daughter, Mary D. Hampton.

[John M. Gwin Note--bef. 21
Sep 2023:From the
1880 census of Washington Co., IA, our John K.
Adams is evidently single (no mention of Augusta
Virginia) on 16 Jun of 1880 and living with his
parents there. From the History of
Washington County, Iowa, Vol.2,
above, the person we believe is his son--Alfred
W. Adams--is born in Oct of 1881 in NM.
Further, the person we believe is his
daughter--and firstborn child--is born in 1880
in IA! Was John's and Augusta's a
"shotgun" wedding, thus allowing her to be
pregnant with Willa and him listed as single in
June? While Augusta lived in English River
with her family in 1860 and 1870, I can't find
any Kooglers living there in 1880. I'm
quite certain that the rest of the data we have
on Augusta Koogler Adams is correct, especially
that she is the widow of a John Kelsey
Adams. Finding Augusta in 1880 should
answer these questions, but we've not yet been
able to find her there.
AHA. Now
we've found Augusta and her family in 1856 in
Washington Co., IA (living very near
Elizabeth's sister Mary Gwin Bear)--see
above--so we know her family was there then
and that these kids had to have grown up
together.]

The above
obituary lists but does not name
these eight great-grandchildren
of Arlene and William Frazier,
which eight greats I have listed
here (immediately
below) in generation
thirty since their parents are
also unlisted in the obit and
therefore are as yet unknown to
me by name. As I learn
the names of all these
descendants, I'll move these
eight to their correct locations
in the outline. Since even
this information is now almost
forty years old, I predict that
this descendant list has already
grown at least into generation
31 if not 32 or even 33 as well.]

OBITUARY
Christopher
John Millard, age
48, passed away
unexpectedly on Tuesday,
May 2, 2023.
The

Chris
graduated from Kettle
Moraine High School in
1993. After high

Architectural Sheet Metal
Roofer for much of his
life, until recently when
he started to work
landscaping and general
construction with his
lifelong best friend, Dave
Medina.
A
father of three, Chris
loved his children
immensely. In their
early years, Chris spent
his time teaching them to
fish and how to respect
and love the great
outdoors. Chris
passed down his love of
horror movies, music, and
animals to all three of
his children.
Chris
spent his free time
outdoors. With his
best dog Gauge at his
side, duck and pheasant
hunting were two of his
favorite hobbies.
Chris was an avid ice
fisherman and loved
spending all day out on
the ice with his children,
family, and friends.
Chris
is survived by: his
children, Christopher
Millard, Blake
Millard, and Eden
Millard; former wife
Jessica (Steve) Reek
of Lannon, WI; mother
Nancy Millard of Okauchee,

was preceded in death by
his sister Michele
Millard.

In lieu
of flowers, the family
requests tributes be
directed to Chris’

children in covering the
expenses. If you

Some Good Addenda
From: "Mike Walker"
<walk5755@bellsouth.net> Date: December
8, 2007 To: "John Gwin"
<jmcdgwin@zianet.com>,
<JAMESTWALL@aol.com> Subject: History
of Washington County, Iowa
This is a pretty good read, and it mentions the
Gwins and Bears that were in the county early on.
(Start on about page 294)
"Between the years 1840 and 1846
there was a heavy immigration into the north part
of the county. There was probably a larger per
cent of increase in that section during that
period than in any other part of the county.
"William M. Gwin, who settled
in the vicinity of Richmond in 1843, still resides
on his original claim. He has probably lived in
the State longer than any other inhabitant of the
county, he having come to Des Moines county in
1835. Mrs.
Mary Bear, Mrs. Martha Snyder
and Mrs. Elizabeth Adams, sisters of Mr. Gwin,
are also very early settlers, they having come to
the county about the same time. Absalom Bush
settled on a claim one mile west of Richmond in
the year 1846; he says there were but three houses
in the town at that time."
Cheers!
Cousin Mike in SC
[John M. Gwin Note: Thanks, Mike! We
had next to nothing on Richard W. Gwin's
daughter Elizabeth before today!
Your e.mail gave us her married name and enabled
us to find her and her family in 1860 and other
censuses! Way to
go!
:-) And now in
2010 we found Volume 2 of this book scanned in
its entirety at GoogleBooks.com and were able to
find bios on several of Elizabeth's other
