Stephen Hockett and his wife Margaret. It had previously been in the possession of his gggrandaughter Arah Werner Bittner. I do not know when it was written or by whom as it does not say.

A brief account of Stephen Hockett and family.

He was married in N Carolina where he and wife Margaret commenced in very low circumstance to make a living, he having but one horse and it soon died; this lost was keenly felt, yet they persevered. Having but little land open to cultivate, he managed to raise a good crop of wheat and corn in one season, on one lot of ground. Ot being in corn the previous season a few weeks before harvest he pulled up the corn stub or roots, his wife dropping corn therin, and he covering it with the hoe. Then when the wheat was taken off the ground he commenced tending his corn and this made a good crop. I mention this that the reader may form an idea of the man. He finally moved to Ohio, and resided ther a fiew years, and then to Indiana, Randoplh Co where he bought land for himself and sons; and lived there until his children were all married. Now they had lived to a good old age but the news came to his ear that there was good rich prairie in Iowa, and he seemed to think it would be best for him and offspring to cross the great Father of waters. And accordingly he and many of his connexions came here in the spring of 1837 and settled near Salem. But it was not long until they went the way of all the earth. He deceased the 26th of the 6th mo 1839 72 years 2 months and 20 days. His wife deceased 23d of ninth mo 1843; aged 76years 8 months and 11 days. They were both consistent members of the Society of Friends. Their children were all living (eleven in number) at the time of her death, and if I am not mistaken, had not a doctor in their family until they were all grown.

The following table will show the condition of their generations at the time of her death, it being written about that time by some of the relatives and kept in manuscript. and as many of their relatives are subscribers and readers of the Democrat, thought it would confer a favor on them to have it published

Notes for JOHN M. HOCKETT:

Unnamed newspaper obituary, in obituary files of Mt. Pleasant Public Library, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; probably from 'Mt. Pleasant News':

JOHN M. HOCKETT.

John M. Hockett was born in Randolph Co., Indiana, Sept. 21, 1837. When only one year old his parents moved to Iowa and settled near his late residence. He was married to Mary E. Hammar October 14, 1858.

He had a birthright membership with the Society of Friends, and was converted near the age of thirty. His faith in Christ increased and the path grew brighter as the end drew near. He has frequently expressed a desire to be ready to meet the Master when the summons should come.

After returning from Salem, near five o'clock Thursday evening, he was taken with apoplexy, and continued unconscious until he passed away at 12:15 the next day, February 20, 1903.

He leaves a faithful and loving wife, one boy whom they have raised from childhood, three sisters and three brothers, nieces and nephews and a host of friends to mourn the loss.

Funeral services were held at Cedar Creek on Sabbath morning at 11 a.m., conducted by the pastor, Bessie Ferguson.

Those present from a distance were a brother Jonathan and nephew John Hockett from Kansas; a sister, Jane Frazier from Marshalltown, Iowa; niece and two nephews, George Hockett and sister Nancy and Arthur Hammar from Ringgold Co., Iowa; also a sister of Mary Hockett, Margaret Addington and husband of Dallas Co., Iowa.

An impressive funeral service was held at Cedar Creek on Aug. 3, conducted by the pastor, R(B)essie Ferguson, and others.

When the last feeble step has been taken,

And the gates of that city appear

And the beautiful songs of the angels

Float out on my listening ear.

When all that now seems so mysterious

Will be bright and as clear as the day,

Then the toils of the road will seem nothing

When I get to the end of the way.

He married SARAH E. STEVENS February 21, 1869 in Henry County, Iowa. She was born October 1847 in Indiana per 1900 Salem, Henry County, IA census, and died Aft. 1920 in Probably Salem, Henry County, IA.

Notes for ELAM HOCKETT:

From "Portrait and Biographical Album of Henry County, Iowa" Chicago: Acme Publishing Company, 1888, Page 501:

ELAM HOCKETT, one of the prominent and representative farmers of Henry County, was born in Salem Twp, in this county, on the 18th of November, 1846, and is the son of Jehu and Hannah (Frazier) Hockett, both of whom are natives of Indiana, and were among the first settlers of Henry County, Iowa. They came to this county when it was hardly more than a wilderness, while yet the deer might be seen on the prairies, or the wolf be heard howling at night. Edward Hockett, the grandfather of our subject, came to this county in 1834, and was the father of ten children, of whom the second was Jehu, the father of our subject, who reared a family of twelve children, all of whom are now living.

Mr. Elam Hockett was the eldest of this family, and was reared upon the farm where he now lives, on section 36, Tippecanoe Twp. He attended a private school, the district not yet being organized, and at that time the county was very thinly settled. On the 21st of February, 1869, he formed a matrimonial alliance with Miss Sarah E. Stephenson, a native of Wayne County, Ind. They were the parents of five children: Mary Ellen, who is now the wife of M.H. Doan, of this county; Alfonso, Elnora, Fred and Edgar are at home.

Mr. Hockett in early life learned the carpenter's trade, which business he now carries on in connection with general farming. He and wife belong to the Society of Friends, and are always ready to lend a helping hand to the needy, and to comfort the afflicted. In politics Mr. Hockett holds very liberal views.

Notes for THOMAS ELI WHITE:

Passages taken from the "Blue Book", The White Family-Tom and Rebecca, compiled by Keith H. Garretson, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, June 1, 1997:

ARTICLE WRITTEN IN 1927, probably by Rebecca Frazer White:

Mr. Thomas Eli White will be remembered by Mt. Pleasant and Henry County people as an influential citizen. For six years he was a member of the board of supervisors and for twelve years, a member of the board of trustees of Old Whittier Quaker School at Salem.

The marriage of Mr. White and Mrs. White, then Rebecca Frazer, almost a half century ago, united two Quaker Pioneer families, which curiously enough had followed the same general course throughout three centuries.

Both the Whites and the Frazers were English and charter members of the William Penn Quaker Colony in Pennsylvania. Both, within the same decade, felt the urge for the west and settled in Indiana. At about the same period both, families were attracted to North Carolina which was then a southern Quaker settlement. Both found distaste of slavery stronger than economic benefits and removed to the pioneer settlement of Salem, Iowa, attracted there by the Quakers, many of whom had come from the south. Settling within a half dozen miles of each other, they became prosperous and influential citizens, many removing to other regions, but the majority remaining in Henry and Lee Counties. All have remained in the Quaker Church and are members of the organization at Salem and Cedar Creek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By Gladys Rebecca White King (daughter of Thomas and Rebecca White), written at age 96 1/2, July 1997):

When Thomas Eli White and Rebecca Jane Frazer decided to marry in 1882, it was with much faith in the future. He had a few dollars in his pocket and she had nothing at all. They were married on Sunday so he would not miss a day's work. He was working at helping to build Henry County's first railway, the "K-Line", later called "Old Jerky". They lived with her widowed mother [Mary M. (Hockett) Frazier] the first year of their married life and then lived on rented farms for many years.

He bought a small farm and later added some adjoining land. When his sons grew old enough to be of much help on the farm, he turned his talents to several business projects. He bought farmers' wool each spring and shipped it by rail to Chicago. He also bought young calves and accompanied them to Chicago by the carload.

As time went on, they raised a family of twelve children---all of whom became adults, which was very unusual at that time. The welfare of the children took first place in all my parents' plans. They were interested in giving the opportunity of the best education available at that time and willing to do anything possible to give them a good start in adult life.

They were wise, kind, and loving parents. With God's help they were able to say, "We are proud of them---the whole round dozen!"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"The History of Henry County, Iowa" (1982, by Henry County Bicentennial Commission), taken from the biography of Robert H. White on page 430, written by Mrs. Gladys King [daughter of Tom and Rebecca White]:

"The oldest son of the first family was Thomas E. White and he was the only one who remained in Henry County and raised a family here. He was married on October 30, 1881. They were married on Sunday so that he would not have to miss a day's work. He was working for the railroad and was helping to build the "K" line (called by many "Old Jerky") that ran from Keokuk to Mt. Pleasant.

He was married to Rebecca Jane Frazer of the Denova community. They met when a group of young men from Salem rode horses to the Denova school house to attend a weekly Spelling Bee.

Thomas E. White and Rebecca Frazer faced life together with almost nothing. He had a few dollars in his pocket and she had nothing. Her mother was a widow and they lived with her the first year of their married life. At the end of the first year, they rented a farm. He traded his over coat for a heating stove because as he said, "The coat would only keep me warm, but the heater will keep us both warm."

Through his life, Thomas White was a farmer, a livestock buyer, and several other occupations. He was a Supervisor of Henry County from 1914 to 1920.

There were twelve chidren born to this union, all of whom became adults. Four are still living. . . .

Thomas White died suddenly on January 19, 1924 and is buried in South Cemetery at Salem. Rebecca Frazer White remained a widow until March 29, 1953 when she died in the hospital at Mt. Pleasant at the age of 91, and was buried at Salem. A devoted husband and father. A wise and loving wife and mother. A great legacy left for the children and grandchildren." (Written by Mrs. Gladys White King, daughter of Tom and Rebecca White]

Obituary, "Salem News", January 24, 1924:

THOMAS ELI WHITE

Thomas Eli White was born Oct. 10, 1858 at Lynnville, Jasper county, Iowa; departed this life Jan. 19, 1924 at Salem, Iowa aged 65 years, 3 mon. 9 days.

At the age of five years he came with his parents to Henry county and from that time has made this county his home.

He was united in marriage to Rebecca Frazier Oct. 30, 1881, and to this union were born the following children: Mrs. Earl Dillavou, Mrs. S. D. Garretson, Fred White of Salem; Mrs. Max Spray of Hillsboro, Mrs. J. A. Mills of Winnebago City, Minn; Roy White of Salem, Dr. Geo. White of Riverside, Ralph White and Mrs. Marion King of Salem; Leota, Vera and Darrel at home.

Mr. White also leaves one brother George of Richland, Oregon; two sisters Mrs. E. H. Ratliff of Nezperce, Idaho; one half-brother Ray of Knoxville, Ia; two half-sisters Mrs. Rev. C. W. Cochran of Muscatine, Ia and Mrs. Steve Morris of Mt. Sterling, Ia.; and thirty-six grandchildren.

He is the first to break the family circle and the remaining ones have the sympathy of a host of friends and loved ones in their hour of sorrow.

About twenty-seven years ago during a revival conducted by Rev. Mrs. Sutliff at the Maple Grove schoolhouse, he received Christ as his personal Savior. He was a birthright Friend, but at the time of his conversion by his request was received into the active membership in the Cedar Friends church. Some years later he had his membership transferred to Salem meeting where he has loyally supported the work.

For a number of years he has been prominent in the affairs of the county having served as a member of the board of supervisors for six years, and at the time of his death was a member of the board of appraisers for inheritance tax; also a member of the board of education of Salem.

He was a friend to all and especially to those in need. A great lover of home and was never so happy as when his loved ones were all around him. The community has lost a friend, the children a kind and loving father, and the wife a devoted husband, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Yet our loss is his gain, and surely the prayer expressed by his favorite hymn, "Pass Me Not, Oh Gentle Savior," will not be unheard by the one who doeth all things well.

The funeral services were held in the M.E. church which was filled to its utmost with friends and relatives, testifying to the high esteem in which he was held."
