OBITUARY
from The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, July 4, 1996; pg. 3:

     After a 10-month illness, Forrest S. Titus died of mesatheleoma (lung cancer) induced by exposure to asbestos Wednesday, June 26, 1996, at his home in Grass Valley, California. He was born in Taft, California, June 18, 1919, and lived there until he finished high school. Then the family moved to Watsonville, California.
      In 1941, he married Frances Green, daughter of Ray and Catherine Armstrong, at Chapel of the Flowers in Berkeley, California. For 21 years they lived in Watsonville, California, where he worked as a locomotive fireman, then engineer, for the Southern Pacific Railroad. That's where their three children, Linda, Cathy and David, were born. In 1962, they moved to San Jose, California, where he continued working for Southern Pacific and AM Track for 21 years. After his retirement in 1982, he and Fran moved to Grass Valley, California.
      Forrest belonged to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B. of L. E.) and was a member of Grass Valley Assembly Church for 13 years, where he had served as board member, as he had in three other churches during their 54 years of marriage. He was a dedicated blood donor, giving 53 pints in recent years.
      His hobbies including working on cars, reading, collecting golf balls and R.V. camping throughout the U.S. and Canada. They also traveled in Europe, England, Hawaii, China and Japan--his favorite being Hawaii.
      Survivors include his wife, Frances; two daughters, Linda Rhoden of Medford, Oregon, and Cathy Thompson of San Jose; one son, David Titus of Odom, Georgia; two brothers, Don of Medford, Oregon and Ken of Santa Cruz; one sister, Betty Panattoni of Orange, California; three granddaughters and three grandsons.

      Ray and Catherine Armstrong, parents of Mrs. Frances Titus, her brother, Phil Green, and Frances lived in the Nelson vicinity for six or seven years in the late 30's and 40'. They have been back for high school reunions and enjoyed visits with their friends here and seeing the Nelson area again.

I want to write what is on the board card of Lauretta Gwin. I don't know why, but this girl cousin intrigues me. I guess it is because there is a letter or a note from her sent to my great-grandmother {i.e., Anna Bear Gwin Freeman} who she seems to have thought a lot of. It reads:

Nove. 16, 1887
Dear Auntie,
I am enjoying good health and hope you could enjoy the same blessing. I have had a good time while uncle and cousins have been here, and wish they would stay longer When you get well, I want you to come and see us. By by,

[Danny Gwin Note: I finally found my aunt Marcia about two weeks ago. She married James S. Christensen in the 50's, and his job required they travel overseas a lot. I know they were in Germany for some years and then London for several more. Had no idea where they were and had no hope of finding her (did not know their last name). Found her by accident searching for a phone number. Crazy the stuff you find when looking for something/someone else. I think she has family info, possibly pics, but they are busy helping Jim with a project right now. I hope to get it soon. April 2016]

The California Birth Index records the birth of a Marcia
Marie Gwin as 21 Oct 1938 in Los Angeles County. The
mother's maiden name is listed as Clinfman. (Our Marcia
M.'s mother's maiden name is Chapman, so it's easy to see
how this could be a mistranscription.) Nevertheless, it is not
confirmed that this is OUR Marcia Gwin; however, there are
no red flags at this time (Feb 2016) so the possibility is not
hindered.

This appears to be the same family as is listed on this page; however, the places of birth of the parents do not seem to be correct. Was John just ignorant of the true places of birth? Or was he perhaps absent (e.g., in the field working?) when the census was taken, and his wife answered the census as best SHE knew?

Arthur probably served in WWI just before they were married, since they would've married ca. 1921 according to their ages, three years after the war was over.

Modified Register for John W THOMPSON

First Generation

    1.    John W THOMPSON was born1,2 about 1770 in County Tyrone, Ireland. He died3 in 1849 in Cross Creek, Jefferson, Ohio, United States.

John W. Thompson emigrated from County Tyrone, Ireland with his wife and four children around 1806.
He settled in the Cross Creek area of Jefferson County, Ohio between 1807 and 1809, where additional
children were born. His children, with the exception of Mary and Nancy, married and settled on nearby
farms in the Cross Creek/Steubenville area. Mary and Nancy did not marry and lived out their lives on
the family farm.

His will was made in 1842 and probated in 1849, naming his ten children. At the time of the making of
his will, his wife was still living, as he makes settlement for her. It is assumed that she died between
1843 and 1850, as she is not living with her daughters in the 1850 census. No given name is known for
his wife, as she is referred to in his will as "my loving wife."

After the distribution of his property, Mary and Nancy remained on the farm until their deaths. As named
in the probate of his will, his children were: (1) William, (2) Matthew, (3) Margaret, (4) John, (5) Moore, (6)
James, (7) Nancy, (8) Richard, (9) Thomas and (10) Mary.

John's birth year was assumed from very broad age ranges in 1830 and 1840 census records.

Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa ed. by William J. Moir. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1911, p. 538:
(excerpt from grandson Matthew Thompson's biography)..."John Thompson, the subject’s grandfather,
died there on his farm..."

John married (Unknown) about 1796 in County Tyrone, Ireland. She was born4,5 about 1780 in Tempo, Fermanagh, Ireland. She died about 1850 in Cross Creek, Jefferson, Ohio, United States.

Identified in husband's will only as "my beloved wife". Estate willed to her until her death was distributed
in 1850; therefore assumed death 1849-50.   Age was assumed from very broad age ranges in 1830 and
1840 census records.

John and Unknown had the following children:

+    2    M    i.    William THOMPSON was born about 1797. He died in 1846.

    3    M    ii.    Matthew THOMPSON was born6 about 1798 in Tyrone, Ireland. He died in 1860 in New Alexandria, Jefferson, Ohio. He was buried in New Alexandria, Jefferson, OH.

Tombstones in New Alexandria Cemetery, Jefferson County, Ohio: died 1860 age 62.
Wife Hannah 1800 - 1866.

Matthew married7 Hannah SCOTT on 27 Dec 1821 in Jefferson, Ohio, United States. Hannah was born in 1800 in Ohio, United States. She died in 1866 in New Alexandria, Jefferson, Ohio. She was buried in New Alexandria, Jefferson, OH.

BIRTH,DEATH: Tombstone, New Alexandria Cemetery,Jefferson, OH (age 66)

In 1850 elderly Mary Scott is living with Matthew and Hannah, leading to conjecture that Mary is Hannah's mother.

+    4    F    iii.    Margaret THOMPSON was born about 1800.

+    5    M    iv.    John THOMPSON was born on 12 Nov 1803. He died on 22 Oct 1874.

Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa ed. by William J. Moir. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1911, p. 538
(excerpt from biography of Matthew Thompson referring to his father John Thompson)...."When he was
two years old his father brought him and the rest of the family to the United States and located in
Jefferson county, Ohio, among the pioneers...John, grew to maturity and was married when a young man
to Maria Ross, who was a native of Jefferson county, Ohio. In 1850 they came to Washington county,
Iowa, and entered wild prairie land from the government and here spent their latter years, Mr. Thompson
dying at the age of seventy-two. Twelve children were born to them, two of whom died early, namely:
William, deceased; John, also now deceased, lived in Pleasant township, this county; Mary, Moore,
Nancy, Margaret, Caroline, Thomas, Robert. Matthew, of this review, was the third child in order of birth
in his father’s family...The parents of the subject were forty-four days making the tedious and somewhat
dangerous overland journey from the Buckeye state to Washington county, Iowa, bringing with them
three wagons and nine horses. They had hard work getting through in many places. The father secured
one hundred and sixty acres of land here for which he paid five dollars per acre. He began life in typical
pioneer fashion, erecting a log cabin and stable which, as he prospered, gave way to more substantial
buildings, for in time he had a very comfortable home and an excellent farm. He was a good citizen and
did a great deal for his community in many ways."

Steubenville Newspaper, 6 June, 1827, p. 3, A-7 (TH014-c6) incorrectly indicates Mr. John Thompson

Here I paused to do some needed work for Christmas--start here when you get back to it, John

There are several of our Gwins buried together in Grand View Mem. Pk., Glendale, Los Angeles Co., CA, as follows:
NAME	DOB	DOD	DOI	SECTION	LOT	GRAVE	FINDAGRAVE MEMORIAL NO.	John M. Gwin COMMENTS
Luena Helen Gwin	unk.	unk.		B	44	1	47490715	Lot sheet shows interment date 3/25/1965.
Infant Gwin	28 Jan 1918 LA Co., CA	28Jan1918 LACo.,CA		B	44	1	47490711
				B	44	2
Lillie Gwin	unk.	unk.	11 Jan 1939	B	44	3		If this is our 25.04--Lillian Gwin, daughter, b. ca. 1866 in KS, then she lived to about age 73. Grand View Volunteers say: Cemetery records show last name spelled with 1 "n" = Gwin; however, vitalsearch-ca Califoria Death Index shows a Lillie Gwinn (double-n) who died at age 74 on 1/9/1939 in Santa Cruz County. This would be consistent with a 1/11/1939 interment.
