Sherwood Anderson A Writer in America Volume 1

Sherwood Anderson Grandfather, was James Anderson, who had been born in Cumberland County South Central Pennsylvania on March 1, 1796, of parents who themselves both from that county.  In 1807, when James was eleven, his parents, Robert and Elizabeth Dickey Anderson, joined the great Scotch-Irish and German migration from Pennsylvania homestead into southern Ohio; in the fall of 1808 they took up three hundred acres of land a miles North West Union, the newly settled seat of Adams County, some sixty-five miles southeast of Cincinnati, close to the Ohio River.  On this farm James Anderson lived until, in 1866, he moved to the nearby town of Sardinia, Ohio, where he died on May 11, 1886, at the age of ninety.^{1  pg 3}

SHERWOOD ANDERSON A WRITER IN AMERICA VOLUME 1

In 1880 there were three harness makers in town rather than the two, including Irwin, 1875, possibly; however, the departure was somehow linked to financial troubles on the part of Irwin’s brother, Benjamin Dickey Anderson, who seems to have been at this time, though no one knows for how long, a harness maker in the village of Fairhaven nearby to both Morning Sun and Camden, and who was probably the Anderson of oral Tradition who “skipped out of. . .Fairhaven owning a bill for leather.” Whatever the reason, the local newspaper, the Camden Herald, noted in its “Personal” Column for the issue of September 1, 1877, that I.M. Anderson will leave here in a few days for Independence, Ohio. Where he will engage in  business.” Once again the Andersons were taking up their migration generally northward through Ohio.

NOTES TO PAGES 17-18 FOOT NOTE 29

The somewhat confused evidence on this matter is given TRTW, page 496-98, and Dinsmoor, “An Inquiry,” p. 7. In addition one should note in Morgan’s Directory of Preble County, p. 163, that a B.D. Anderson” was then dealing in “Horses and & Saddles,” in “Fair Haven.” Since Benjamin Dickey Anderson was a harness maker, it seems probable that this was Irwin’s younger brother, an identification strengthened by the conflicting stories as to the town from which an Anderson left without paying a bill. Further, this identification may help explain Benjamin Dickey’s removal by 1886 to California.

IRWIN M. ANDERSON, a resident of Clyde, Ohio, was born August 7, 1845, at West Union. His father was James Anderson, who was a separate sketch herein. Irwin Anderson went to school at West Union in the old stone schoolhouse which stood where the house occupied by John Knox now stands.

In June, 1863, he enlisted in Company G, 129th O. V. I., and served until the eighth of March following. He enlisted Aug. 25, 1864, in the Seventh Ohio Cavalry, and was mustered out with the company, July 1, 1865. In both services he was in the campaigns about East Tennessee. He was in the affair at Cumberland Gap on September 9, 1863; in Burnside's campaign against Longstreet that fall and winter. He was engaged in the siege of Knoxville in the Fall of 1864, and was in the battles of Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee; Pulaski, Tennessee; Plantersville and Selma, Alabama, in 1865. After the war was over, he went to school in Xenia, Ohio, in 1865, and 1866. He then located in Mexico, Missouri, and was in the west and southwest from 1866 to 1870. In the latter year, he located in Camden, Ohio. He was married Oct. 14, 1873, to Miss Emma J. Smith, of Oxford, Ohio. He resided there until 1877. In that year, he located in Mansfield, Ohio, and worked for the Aultman-Taylor Company. He resided in Marion from 1880 to 1883, when he located in Clyde, Ohio, which has since been his home. His wife died May 10, 1895. He has six children, five sons and a daughter. His son, Carl J., is an artist in Springfield, Ohio, and illustrates the "Woman's Home Companion." His daughter, Stella, lives in Chicago with her brothers. Sherwood is a bookkeeper in Chicago, as is his son Irwin. His son, Ray, is a student and his son, Earl, is in an art school there. They all reside at No. 1036 Adams Street, and the sister keeps house for them.
Mr. Anderson takes a great interest in army organizations. For four years he has been engaged in preparing entertainments for various Grand Army Posts. He possesses considerable dramatic talent, and has been very successful in his work.

It is not Irwin fault to why he couldn’t work. The evidence is loud and clear.  What Crohn’s disease cause and how it came about is he developed it during the Civil War.  In 1880 he filed for pension.  He received.  Then for the next 25 years he was fighting for invalid status.  The disease progressed.  The average life; expectancy of the  disease 77 years today.  However, Irwin was at the time of death was 73 years old.  He died of Cerebral Hemorrhage.

 Genealogist have to look at everything as a whole when researching family.  Irwin definitely had  Crohn’s  everything I have read and learned for the past three years.  I believe Irwin developed Crohn’s disease during the Civil War.  This may help understand the disease.  I would love to help and talk about this.  If it can help researchers understand the disease.  And this is a great way to re-examine Crohn’s  all the conditions that have been spelled out in most of the readings and symptoms are all in Irwin’s file.  Most of all it is Sherwood Anderson’s father the author of Winesburg Ohio.

Sherwood Anderson A Writer in America Volume 1 By Walter  B. Rideout Introduction By Charles Modlin

Margaret Austry, was originally from Germany.  She was the daughter of one Henry Austry and was born, probably near Berlin, on September 10, 1830.  When she was still a young child, her parents brought her to the United States.  On December 22, 1851, at age of Cincinnati, for on that day she was married by a justice of the peace to William H. Smith, possibly an Englishman and a teacher, who probably lived near Oxford. By this husband Margaret had two daughters.  The first of these, Emma Jane, who was to become the mother of Sherwood Anderson, was born on October 1, 1852, near Oxford.  What-ever William Smith may have been like, faithfulness was not one of his strong points; in March of 1854 shortly before the birth of Emma’s sister Mary Ann, and he deserted his wife “without any cause” and permanently disappeared, leaving his family without support of her parents.

 

Sherwood Anderson A Writer in America Volume 1 By Walter  B. Rideout Introduction By Charles Modlin

On July 8, 1857 Margaret Smith petitioned the Court of Common Pleas of Butler County for a divorce, custody of the children, “reasonable alimony,” and restoration “to her maiden name Margaret Ostray on December 4, 1857, the divorce was granted.  Margaret was given exclusive Custody of the Children.

 The divorce decree released Margaret to marry again, and shortly thereafter, on March 29, 1858, she married a Louis Meyers, who seems to have been a farmer or farm laborer of German extraction, to have been about two years older than she, and to have lived either in or near Oxford [Butler] County Ohio.  However, though a year later Margaret bore yet another daughter, also named Margaret, this second marriage was hardly more fortunate than the first; for it appears that Louis Myers was killed by a bolt of lightning while standing under a tree.”

To

Minnie Gertrude Dunn [nee Stevens]

 

NOTES TO PAGES 85-87   CHAPTER 3. YOUNG MAN FROM THE PROVINCES

29. IRWIN’S post Clyde years can be briefly documented.  Statements in Nelson Evan’s Sketch of him in A HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY, OHIO SHOW THAT HE WAS STILL at Clyde in June 1900, while various papers in his Civil War Pension file [No. WC 880 555] date his move to Connersville as not later than March 13, 1901, when he married Minnie Stevens.  His second wife had been born June 12, 1864, in Rush County Indiana.

 

On May 25, 1891, she married Frank C. Stevens Connersville and on June 17, 1898 was granted a divorce from him, the court awarding her custody of their one child, Freddie.  On March 21, 1903 Minnie Bore Irwin a son, Harold, the only Child of their marriage.  Irwin win applied for an additional veteran’s pension on May 12, 1912 under the provisions of the act of May 11 of that year, and on January 12, 1914, he was admitted to the National Military Home in Dayton, Ohio.  Here, at the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, he died on May 23, 1919.
