109 Mraz Family Memory
Written in late 1980's to "have on hand" for memory purposes when Helen Mraz was extremely ill. Then it got lost or mislaid, until found very recently while cleaning and re-organizing an office. Helen Mraz died in October, 1996, at age 98.
Helen Fetter Mraz was, to her young family, a shy and quiet homebody, a woman dedicated to her work as a wife and mother. She was immensely proud and devoted to her husband, Edward Mraz of Canton, Ohio, and her four sons, Jim, David, Paul, and Bernard. Helen Fetter of Columbus, Ohio was the second daughter in her family, a younger sister of a beautiful and beloved and gentle older sister. To remember the one, you must remember the other. The older sister, Gertrude, and the younger sister, Helen, had almost totally blended lives in their early and teenage years, as they worked together and stayed close, even though a brother and five other sisters followed them in the family.
Both women were serious women, in that they never wanted to stop learning. They were committed to education, to a turn-of-the-century-American faith that a full, bountiful life would come from dedication and hard work.
Helen never saw her own beauty, which beauty was estimable, because she felt, for instance, her "squinty green eyes" were not the same as Gertrude's stunning blue ones. But Gertrude, the loving and nurturing person, never placed herself above Helen in any way. Indeed, the total joy Gertrude took in every success of Helen's, and the joy and security that Helen felt in her closeness to Gertrude, produced a beautiful relationship for all of the Mraz children and their Burns cousins who came from the happy union of Gertrude and her beloved James Burns.
When Helen Fetter married Ed Mraz, she moved 150 miles away from the close family cocoon of her childhood. In 1922 this was a great distance. Now she was on her own, a devoted partner in a new life. Her beautiful and healthy babies and her lovely home were her joy. Her tall, handsome, jovial, intelligent husband was her sun and moon. Together they toughed out the Great Depression, even managing to welcome heartily the birth of a daughter - me - at the height of it.
My father's 50% Depression paycut in his management position at the stamping and enameling plant only challenged them to be more creative and caring with the half they still did receive. Indeed, I remember one Christmas as a child in which the $10 that would have gone to provide Christmas presents to our family went instead to a young widow one street over.
And as a young child. I went along with my father to deliver, quietly, the baskets of food he and my mother would prepare for some of the less fortunate families. Many times I would sit outside and watch while some tramp person would come to our back door and be fed.
Helen, our mother, canned food, sewed, played the piano with us, worked rapturously while listening to us practice our piano, read to us, hung laundry outside, cooked, baked, struggled home from the bus stop with bulging shopping bags and boxes, scrubbed us, ironed 30 white shirts a week on her gas mangle at one sitting so that each male would have a clean shirt every day for school or work. To think of her during my childhood years is to see a whirlwind of tasks. She saw it all as her way to raise her children, to launch them with the best she could give. We had the best food, the cleanest house, and every encouragement to study and learn.
And she had fun, too. She and Dad had their card-playing club. We visited people, all went to church together, went hunting and fishing, took family drives, and trips to Columbus. The childrens' school progress and achievement and musical skills were a cause of great pride. Hobbies of the boys, such as model airplanes built with little gas engines, and such as fly rod casting and target shooting, and creating finely crafted woodworking projects, were sources also of immense pleasure and pride.
For Helen, it all came to a crash in 1947, when her beloved Ed went to his office one morning and suffered a massive heart attack. She never saw him alive again. He was only 53. Two children, Bernard and myself, still lived at home. Jim, the eldest son, was so far away and deeply involved in World War II that he could not be home for the funeral.
The story of dedication and love that was Helen's life to this point became one of courage, creativity, grit and survival. Though there has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that from that point, Mother never was more than one thought away from seeing Dad again, she carried on, magnificently and intelligently.
Now truly on her own, she summoned every strength and power she had. She returned to office work, she branched out into clothing sales work. She sent me to college, a four-year private university. She became a financial whiz. She welcomed grandchildren from the marriages of Jim, Paul and Bernard. She eventually sold the family home in Canton and came to live with me in Milwaukee and then in Washington, D.C. She and I chummed together, spending many Sundays on little adventures and excursions around Washington.
She provided a beautiful wedding for me and my husband, Ned, in Washington, D.C. When I moved to Massachusetts, after a few years she, too, came to Boston, there to enjoy a life as a Boston lady who worked as a salesclerk at Best and Co., a proud and proper store. She walked her grandson at the Public Garden.
Eventually she retired and came to Whitman, the treasured and beloved grandmother to our three children, with whom she spent long hours while my husband and I campaigned and served in political offices.
She went back to Columbus, Ohio for a while to see her roots again, and then back to Whitman, Massachusetts for a few short years. Amazing in health and outgoing, popular and beloved in senior citizen social circles, Mom wanted a place of her own, not. wishing to be tied down to a busy household where someone else's agenda carried the day.
Amazingly, at 88 years of age, Helen moved to an apartment found for her in Newark, Delaware by Paul and Sally Mraz of Elkton, Maryland, just minutes away from their home. Mom loved her apartment and loved being around the big, loving Paul-Sally Mraz family of grandchildren and great grandchildren. From the shy and quiet homebody of our childhood, Mom had grown to an outgoing, gregarious, life- of- the- party. Still unaware of her great beauty, she was nevertheless celebrated by all who knew her. Her charm, social presence, style and intelligence were remarked about over and over again to me, years after she left Whitman. No one who ever met her, it seemed, forgot her. The two most often repeated remarks to me have been, "Your mother is so beautiful" and "Your mother, you know, is a very remarkable woman. I have never met another quite like her." I have heard this over and over, from her fellow club members and church associates. It is a joy and a pride to realize that these things were not just my own opinion.
And as for my brothers, I have observed that they honored Mother by imitation, each choosing for his beloved wife a woman who echoes some facet of mother's persona: Ruth, the wife of Jim, has the same caring attitude and complete devotion to her husband and home; Jane, the wife of David, has the sense of tactful reserve so admired also in Mother; Sally, the wife of Paul, has the intelligence and grit of Mother, and the organizational savvy, and Yuriko, the wife of Bernard, is as shy and retiring as Mother was in her early years in a new area, but possesses the same loyalty and devotion to children. Mother was so proud of all of her sons, including my Ned, her son-in-law whom she loved as a son. Myself, her birth daughter, she made her confidant, her sounding board, her special friend. She honored me by revealing herself to me, a circumstance that her generation did not encourage women to "bother" men with. Thus, I probably do know a different Helen than maybe my brothers do, but if that is true, they should all realize that she adores them and her pride in them is fierce.
She had every son scrupulously analyzed, to catalog exactly and in what delightful measure he is the reflection of his father. One's voice, one's wit, one's smile, bearing.. .whatever. Her happiest pronouncement after a visit or a phone call would be something said, done or looked to be ". .Just like Ed." Even I was told many, many times the highest accolade: "You have hands just exactly like your father!"
So, it was a love story, and we were all in it.

111 A strange aside:
This Martin surname was introduced by Carl Conrad MARTIN - presumably it was to get out of some trouble. Before that he was Carl Conrad Finley. After Elisabeth "Betty" caught him during an act of infidelity he was kicked out. He later remarried changed his name back to Finley and fathered Cecilia and William.

118 He came from England with Governor Winthrop in 1631, and the same year moved to Plymouth and then to Scituate and was admitted as freeman. In 1639 he moved to Barnstable, Massachusetts, and built a house where the Agricultural Society now stands. He set out an orchard, as all the first settlers did. A seedling raised by him, and known as the "Foxwell Apple", is yet cultivated. It is stated that he was a trader. As a private citizen he was a good neighbor, an honest man, and and exemplary member of the christian church. He was one of the original members of "Mr. Lothrop's Church" having joined at its organization at Scituate on the 8th of January 1634/5. After moving to Barnstable he continued to be a member in good standing until his death. He was a member of the Barnstable Militia in 1643. - "Dawn to Dusk" by Patricia Ruth Smith.

119 Eli and Jane McFarland Frazier Family

http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~mygermanfamilies/FrazierEliJane.html


Eli Frazier was second child and second son of William and Susannah Woodward Frazier. He was born 5/19/1786 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He was a birthright Quaker as recorded at Center Monthly Meeting in Guilford County, North Carolina. We do not know the parentage of his wife Jane. We only know her name from the 1884 History of Henry County, Indiana where she is mentioned in the biography of their son James H. Frazier.

Eli was transferred with his parents to Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Tennessee in the early 1790's. He was dismissed from Lost Creek Monthly Meeting on 4/18/1810 for fighting, and we do not find him further in Quaker records. By 1820 he was married to Jane McFarland and was living in Wayne County, Indiana, where they are found in the 1820 census. The youngest child we know of was born in 1813. We have been unable to locate a marriage record in Tennessee, Ohio, or Indiana. The Henry County Indiana History tells us they had six sons and two daughters. Additional information is given in A Discourse on the Thornburgs in a brief bio which lists children: William. James H., Eli, Hatty, Susannah, and Abraham. So far we have been able to verify children: Esther (born about 1813, Ohio); Susannah (born about 1814, Ohio); William (born about 1818, Indiana); and James H. born 11/14/1829, Wayne County, Indiana.

The Thornburg Genealogy gives a death date for Eli of 9/18/1831 in Henry County, Indiana. The Henry County History also gives his death as 1831 and additionally gives a death date of 1845 for Jane in Henry County. We are not sure that Jane's death date is correct as we found the following in the 1850 census in Liberty Township in Henry County: Jane Frazier, 61, born Pa; Elizabeth, 21, born In; Abram, 19, born In. The age of Jane is approximately correct (born 1789) to be wife of Eli Frazier, but the daughter Elizabeth does not fit well into the family unless she was Hatty (at present we believe Hatty was Esther). The Frazier family was numerous and this could easily be another Jane Frazier. If anyone can shed light on this we would appreciate hearing from them.

William and Eliza Bundy Frazier
Eli and Jane's son, William Frazier, was a farmer living in Henry County, age 32, born Indiana when the 1850 census was taken. He had wife Eliza, born about 1818 in Ohio. They had children Hiram B. Frazier, born about 1837; Mary Jane Frazier, born about 1844; Josiah Frazier, born about 1846, and James Taylor Frazier, born about 1848; all born Indiana. William Frazier married Eliza M. Bundy on 7/28/1836 in Henry County.

James H. and Nancy Harvey Frazier
Eli and Jane's son, James H. Frazier, is also found in Henry County, Indiana in 1850. In addition there is information on his family in A Discourse on the Thornburg Family. He married Nancy Harvey, daughter of James and Margaret Canady Harvey, on November 12, 1842 in Henry County, Indiana. This marriage united two Thornbrough lines: James being descended from Hannah Thornbrough, wife of Abraham Woodward, and Nancy being descended from Margaret Thornbrough, sister of Hannah Thornbrough, who married John Canady. There is also information on the family of James H. and Nancy Harvey Frazier in the History of Henry County, Indiana, 1884. The Henry County History, the Thornburg genealogy, and the census records are all in agreement. James and Nancy Harvey Frazier had children: Joel Frazier, born about 1844; Miles Frazier; about 1846; Eli W. Frazier, about 1848; William Henry Frazier; Margaret A. Frazier, married F. Allender; Sarah Jane Frazier, m S. H. Brown; Mary Ann Frazier; Abraham Lincoln Frazier, born 5/3/1863, married Eldora Brown; Luette Frazier.

Susannah Frazier Millikan
Eli and Jane's daughter, Susannah Frazier, married William Millikan, son of Eli and Mary Kersey Millikan, on 12/8/1842 in Henry County, Indiana, as his third wife. (Eli Millikan was son of William Millikan, Jr., and grandson of the William Millikan whose history is given on our Millikan page). William Millikan had a total of 13 children by four wives. His first wife was Charity Canady m. 5/13/1830; second Mary Russell m. 7/9/1840; third Susannah m. 10/8/1842; and after Susannah's death 7/7/1852 he married Mary Williams in 1856. When the Hazzard's History of Henry County Ind 1822-1906 was written there were nine children living: John, Charles, Alameda, Esther, Eli F, Thomas K, William M, Elnora, and Rebecca J. We know from Quaker records that John and Charles were children of Charity, as well as three others, Mary, Emily, and Sarah Ellen. We also know from birthdates that Eli F. (born 8/17/1843) and Thomas K. Millikan (born 6/26/1846) were children of Susannah Frazier Millikan. The 1850 census is of additional help in apportioning the children. William & Susannah Frazier Millikan are found in Blue River Township, Henry County: William Millikan, 45, real estate $3500, occupation not given (probably farmer), born NC; Susanna, 36, born Ohio; John, 20, Oh; Charles, 18, Oh; Almeda, 12, Ind; Esther, 9, In; Eli F., 7, In; Thomas K., 4, In; Rebecca J., 1. By their birthdates we can assume that John, Charles and Almeda, were children of Charity (who died 10/3/1839); Esther was daughter of Mary Russell who died 1/20/1842; and Eli F; Thomas K., and Rebecca J., were daughters of Susanna per the 1850 census. This leaves only Elnora and William M. who may have been later children of Susannah (when time permits we will check the 1860 census). As far as we know there were no children by Mary Williams (but not proven).

Hazzard's History of Henry County gives us information on two of Susannah and William Millikan's children: Eli and Thomas.

William and Susannah's son, Eli F. Millikan, served in Co C of the 36th Indiana Infantry from 8/1861 to 9/1864. He married Elizabeth Harvey, daughter of Joel and Sarah Downs Harvey, on 11/22/1866 in Henry County. They had children Verney, Harvey, Laura, Sallie, and Jennie.

William and Susannah's son Thomas K. Millikan married Myra F. Rayle, daughter of Zadock and Delilah Hunt Rayle on 11/18/1869 in Henry County. They had a child Ora E. Millikan.

Esther Frazier Russell
From another Frazier researcher we believe Esther to be the daughter "Hatty" referred to in the Thornburg genealogy. Esther Frazier was born about 1813 in Ohio and married Calvin Russell on 6/21/1832 in Henry County, Indiana. He died before 1850 and Esther is found as a widow in the 1850 census in Henry County, Prairie Township, #18: Esther Russell, 37, born Ohio: Matilda, 16, born In; Eli F., 14, born In; Hannah E., 10, In; John R., 4, In; Susanna Jane, 4, In; Calvin, 2, In. The naming of first son as Eli Frazier Russell seems the best indication that she is indeed a daughter of our Eli Frazier.

Joseph D. HALBUR
 
130 HALLACK, ERASTUS F., lumber mer-
chant and manufacturer, was born in
Bethany, Genesee county, N. Y., May 30,
1832, remaining there until 21 years of age,
and receiving his education in the local
schools. Then starting west, he located in
St. Charles, Kane county, Ill., where he en-
gaged in the carriage manufacturing business
in company with Stephen March, continuing
for ten years, and in which he was successful
and prosperous. Removing to Highland,
Doniphan county, Kansas, in 1863, he there
established himself in the same business,
which he closed out in 1865. He then started
for Denver, in charge of an ox train of twenty-
five wagons, loaded with corn, each drawn by
three yoke of oxen. Selling the corn on com-
mission, and returning to Kansas, he came
again to Denver in 1866, with a mule train
of corn, this time owning the corn, which he
sold at a good profit. Soon after, he engaged
in the lumber business with Dr. J. H. Mor-
rison. The latter retiring in 1868, Mr. Hal-
lack, with his brother Charles, formed a
partnership under the name and title of the
Hallack Brothers Lumber Company.
In 1877, Charles and J. H. Howard be-
came members of the firm, and the business
was continued under the name of Hallack &
Howard. E. F. Hallack retired from the
firm in 1879, and organized " The E. F. Hal-
lack Lumber & Manufacturing Company."
In 1886 he purchased the land and opened a
branch lumber yard called the Texas Lumber
Company at 40th and Franklin Streets. The
E. F. Hallack Lumber & Manufacturing Com-
pany, in 1890, erected a large mill at 23rd
and Blake Streets. The year previous (1889)
he started the Hallack Paint, Oil & Glass
Company, which in 1905 was sold to J. G.
McMurtry, and is now known as the Mc-
Murtry Manufacturing Company.

In 1891, The E. F. Hallack Lumber &
Manufacturing Company was consolidated
with the Sayre-Newton Lumber Company,
and operated under the name of the Hallack-
Sayre-Newton Lumber Company, until 1898,
when the Hallack interests were sold to the
Sayre-Newton Lumber Company. In 1898,
the Texas Lumber Company was enlarged
and the name changed to the Hallack Lum-
ber & Supply Company. Mr. Hallack passed
away Dec. 6, 1897, and in his death, the com-
munity lost a valued citizen, a man of deep
sympathies and generous charities. He was
one of the incorporators of the Rocky Moun-
tain Construction Company, which was later
merged into the Denver Union Water Com-
pany. He was broad and liberal in his views,
and the Unitarian Church was his special
interest.
Mr. Hallack married in 1868, Miss Kate
Gray of Bethany, New York. Three children
were born to them, but only one, Minnie
Gray Hallack, now Mrs. W. N. W. Blayney,
grew to maturity. Mrs. Hallack, a descend-
ant of a prominent colonial family, is a mem-
ber of the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution and has been Regent of the Colorado
Chapter D. A. R. From the pioneer days
to the present, she has been a leader in the
social life of the city. She first came to Den-
ver in 1868. The Union Pacific was finished
only to Cheyenne, and from there to Denver
she made the trip in a stage coach, with hos-
tile Indians on all sides. The first preten-
tious residence in Denver was the old Hal-
lack home at 19th and Lincoln Streets, then
outside the town. It had the first bay win-
dow and the first winding stairway in the
city. It was then the show-place of Denver
with its two fountains on the lawn, but is
best remembered by the old-time hospitality
that was here dispensed, and where were
wont to gather those prominent in the early
life of the city.

135 Letter from A. Harbach to his daughter

Camp near Fairview Arks.
June 5, 1862 (?)

My dear Daughter,

Your very welcome letter on the 10th alto came to hand in the 3rd inst., and afforded me much pleasure, not only in hearing from the "loved ones at home," but also in receiving a letter from you. It is the first one I think that I have had from you since I last left home, and if you know how welcome the receipt of a letter is to a soldier, and how appreciated by him, shut out as it were entirely from civilization, I think you would feel glad to afford him so great a pleasure, when it could be done so easily, and without trespassing any upon your time. Letters from you and Ida are very dear to me, and you should write often, irrespective of your Mothers, it improves you in correspondence, which is a great accomplishment, and fulfills a duty which I hope you can fully obey. Write often, even if it be brief. The knowledge that all are well at home carries joy to my heart and serves to brighten my long and weary days. Since writing to your mother a few days ago, we have moved our camp some eighteen miles, back in the region of Batesville, caused by the scarcity of water and provisions, as well as to concentrate our whole force, as we heard that in the evacuation of Corinth (?) the rebels have scattered (?) in various directions and may pay us a visit, how long we may remain I do not know. I will write again to your brother and give any change that may occur.

I was sorry to hear of Abe's difficulties without his commission and suppose there is no hope of his getting it, altho not knowing what Dr, McClintock has done as your mother did not say anything about it. I have no doubt you miss him very much, it must be very singular to have no male person about the house and our family circle must seem smaller. How I wish this unhappy war was over so that we all could be reunited. God grant that we may all meet in safety once more under our own roof and be as happy as in days past.

Biography

(gopher://gopher.wheaton.edu:70/00/Wheaton_Archives/BGC/Guides/Coll/137/3-histba.txt)

Ira Everett Hartman was born September 6, 1867, on a farm near
Polk City, Iowa, the fifth child of Joseph S. and Hannah Elizabeth
(Russell) Hartman. In 1885, the Hartmans and four of their
children moved from Iowa to the Dakota Territory, where they
homesteaded near Tripp. The family soon returned to Iowa
where Ira became a student and railway telegraph operator.

On July 18, 1891, he married Minnie Elizabeth Kaster (1871-1954),
daughter of Friedrich and Minnie (Hildebrand) Kaster,
who were German immigrants. Throughout the decade, he worked
as a carpenter, paper hanger, and painter to support his wife
and children: Jesse Ray (1893-1979) m. Bertha Nelson, Lillian
Victoria (1894-) m. Fred Smith, Verna Viola (1897-1979) m.
George Ellicott, and Margaret May (1903-1971) m. Clarence
Mitchell.

About 1899, Hartman became a Christian and shortly enrolled in
a four-year seminary course, which he completed in three
years, and was then ordained in the United Brethren Church at
Goodell, Iowa. Hartman served Iowa congregations in Des
Moines, Ventura, Lovilia, Stilson, Goodell, and Dumont. In
1909, the failing health of Mrs. Hartman necessitated a
different climate, and the family moved to Colorado where
Hartman served as a supply minister in the Manitou Springs
area. Later, he was pastor in the United Brethren Churches of
Mead and Delta, Colorado; Bayard, Nebraska; and Niwot and
Yuma, Colorado, after which he retired from the active
ministry although yet a young man.

In 1913, the Hartman family moved to Longmont, Colorado, where
Ira set himself up as an optometrist. Although no longer in
the pastorate of any one congregation, he continued to preach
as an evangelist throughout the area. A list of the Iowa and
Colorado towns in which he preached can be found on the
Chronology page in this guide.

In July 1951, the Hartmans celebrated their sixtieth wedding
anniversary. Less than a month later, on August 10, Rev. Ira
Hartman died at their home in Longmont. His widow died
October 16, 1954, in the same house; they are buried in
Mountain View Cemetery, Longmont.
