364	parents from MA died at his home, where he was living with George and Belle Peabody: 118 E. 18th St., NYC **** my submission to Rootsweb Review e-zine: I always like reading about people's genealogical success stories, so on those rare occasions when one happens to me, I like to share them - I think it gives a good burst of energy to those who are feeling stymied at a brick wall. Last summer, while on a trip around the country to visit various places that my family had lived, I ordered some probate records from Cook County, Illinois, including ones for Felix Ward SCUDDER, a descendant of my great-grandfather Oscar Hayden WARD through his daughter Belle Peabody WARD's first marriage to William Byrd SCUDDER. In those papers was a deposition from John Hayden WILSON, my Dad's first cousin, and a son of Belle WARD's by her third marriage to Edwin WILSON. Among other things, it told of John WILSON's kids: Juliette Thorne WILSON and William Henry OLDACRE III, both listed as minors in 1964. I reasoned that there probably were not too many William Henry OLDACREs in the United States, and sure enough, there was only one (he had been adopted, hence the different last name). When I contacted him, it was indeed he, and he put me in touch with John H. WILSON, who was still living at age 85. When I spoke with him, he told me of relatives that I didn't know I had, that lived in Northern California, less than an hour from my house. There were four of them with the surname TILLSON, all descended this way: Oscar Hayden WARD m. Juliette Granville WIGHTMAN William H. WARD m. Mary B. MILLER Marion WARD m. Paget CADY Mary Lee CADY m. Harold Gordon TILLSON TILLSON children: Marian, Jim, Steve, and Tom I first met Marian, and she showed me a binder with a lot of old photos and papers -- things like a wedding anniversary invitation from my great-grandfather Oscar WARD, and pictures that I had never seen before. Jim was there too, and a one point he said, "Wait -- I have a couple of other things you might be interested in." He came back with a pair of portraits of my great-great-grandparents -- William Warren WARD and Maria Jane PHILLIPS, (Oscar Hayden WARD's parents) that were painted in 1843, which he then gave to me. Unbelievable. So when you feel like you're getting nowhere, remember that one little piece of info like a probate record of a not-too-close relative can yield a treasure trove. *******	William Warren WARD

366	His partner’s obit: Obituary: In the death of JAMES MADISON BLAISDELL, Franklin loses a highly respected citizen. Our first recollection of Mr. Blaisdell is as a business partner in trade and vessel building of the late Hon. John West, which connection lasted for some years. The Hon. West retiring from the firm, his son Joseph H. and Mr. Blaisdell continued the business of trade. In time the partnership dissolved and Mr. Blaisdell went into trade in another part of the town where the vessel building interest was continued. In 1876 he was our able Representative to the State Legislature. He has also held offices of town trust. Politically he was an avowed Republican. A devoted wife, daughter and two sons have the tender sympathy of all. Death of Hon. John West, of Franklin The sad intelligence of the sudden death of Hon. John West, on Monday last, will be received with profound regret by many of our readers. Perhaps no citizen in the county, was more widely known and more highly respected. A native of Franklin [hmm...interesting...], he had lived there for 76 years, and had become closely identified with all the interests of the town, and was regarded almost as a father by every one of its citizens. No man's advice was more frequently asked for by his neighbors than his, and it was always freely and judiciously given. No man was more ready to extend a helping hand to the suffering and destitute, and by none will he be more sincerely mourned. During his long life, he has frequently been entrusted with public duties, and he always discharged them faithfully and well. Perhaps no trait of his unsullied character stood out more prominently than his integrity and uprightness which controlled every act of his life, whether public pr private. It was this straightforward conduct which inspired the confidence and won the esteem and affection of every man who knew him. By his industry and good judgement he had acquired a competency which enabled him, within the past few years, to withdraw from active business, but he never ceased to show an interest in every good cause which would tend to promote the welfare of his fellows. At public meetings, his face, which was a benediction to all, was generally noticed, and his quiet modest presence gave courage to the wavering and the doubting. By the citizens of the whole County, his loss will be keenly felt, but they will have the satisfaction of thinking of his noble character, and the blameless life which he led, as an example worthy of imitation by young and old.

382	William Wightman, of Washtenaw County, Mich., came early in the summer of 1846, and being pleased with the country, authorized James Kneeland, of Milwaukee (a half brother of Mrs. Wightman), to purchase certain property for him. Leaving Michigan the following autumn with his wife and four daughters, in a comfortable covered-wagon drawn by horses, the journey was rendered pleasant by visits to relatives and friends along the route. Arriving at a shanty on Section 24, they purchased a loaf of bread of Huldah Farmer and passed on to the store and residence of their old acquaintance, Jehiel H. Baker. Visions of the old home rising before Mrs. Wightman in contrast to this new life they were to enter upon, caused her to feel that she could not leave the wagon ; but better judgment prevailing, she determined that as this must be her future home, it should be a happy one. This was in October, and before January Mr. Wightman had prepared the frame for his house, but when everything was ready heavy snows delayed the raising, and a shanty was erected instead. To be once more in their own home, however rude, was happiness indeed, although one side of the store must be parlor while the other was kitchen. After the erection of his frame house, it was opened and kept for ten years as a hotel, and will be remembered as the West Bend House. Mr. Wightman has been prominently identified with the town and county, faithfully serving his constituents at all times when they have called him into public life. He is still living in West Bend, carrying sturdily the weight of over eighty years.	William Wolcott WIGHTMAN

384	current address: 2124 Eastwood Dr. Ft. Collins, CO 80525 970-419-5506 Fort Collins Coloradoan (CO) - April 20, 2005 Deceased Name: John Wilson John Hayden Wilson, 87, of Fort Collins, died peacefully on Sunday, April 17, 2005, at home, surrounded by family and several resident pets. A service and celebration of his life will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1208 W. Elizabeth St. John was born on April 23, 1917, in Denver to Edwin and Belle Ward Scudder Wilson. He spent his formative years in Denver. Upon the death of his parents, John went to live with his half-sister, Juliette Kilbourne, and upon her death, lived with his half-brother, Felix Ward Scudder, in Riverside and Evanston, Ill. He entered college at 16 and graduated with a degree in civil engineering from Rose Polytechnic Institute in Terre Haute, Ind. During World War II, John served as an officer in the Navy (Seabees), 1st Construction Battalion, and was stationed in New Hebrides (now Vanauatu), where he oversaw building of airfields and other wartime facilities in the Pacific. On Sept. 14, 1946, he married Marjorie Thorne Oldacre and adopted her son, Bill, whose father was killed in Normandy in 1944. In 1951, they added a daughter, Juliette, to the family. John ran his own general contracting business in the Chicago area and built public facilities throughout the Midwest. Margie and John lived between Riverside, Ill., and Largo, Fla., until 1970, when they settled in Florida. For the next 31 years, they played golf, enjoyed lifelong friendships and danced many nights away, interspersing time at home with extensive worldwide travels. In 2001, they relocated to Fort Collins, where they ran sick bay for their grandsons and reacclimated to snow. They attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church. John was known for his nonjudgmental listening and wise counsel, his generosity, and especially his dry sense of humor, which made people around him laugh loud and often, including the spate of incomparable doctors, nurses and other care providers encountered during their years in Fort Collins. John was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Margie. He (Dad, John, Uncle John, Grandpa) is survived by his son, Bill Oldacre, and his wife, Sherlee, of Gainesville, Fla.; daughter, Juliette Wilson, and husband, Jim Nielsen, and sons Geoff and Jordie Nielsen, all of Fort Collins; granddaughter, Maria McKay, and husband, Martin, and their daughters Brianna and Brooke of Valdosta, Ga.; sister-in-law, Pat Thorne, of Sun Valley, Idaho; and six well-loved nieces and nephews, along with their spouses and children. His openness, intellect and dry-wit outlook on life will be sorely missed by his family and many cherished friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Larimer County.
