Agnes Hineman, daughter of  John and Mary Magdalene (McConnell) HIneman, married to Jeremiah/Jerome McClelland:

Regarding the McClellan/McClelland name: I don’t know which is the correct spelling, although it appears Agnes’s daughter, Elizabeth spelled it McClelland, IF she is the one who wrote the society news in the Oil City newspaper. I do think she is the one with the byline because she never married, and neither did her sister Anna.

CHAPMANVILLE
Mr. and Mrs. J.N. Holder, daughter, Margaret, and son, Norman, and Miss Anna McClelland attended church services at the Baptist church at Hydetown Sunday evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Arters and the Misses Anna and Elizabeth McClelland called at the Joe Hineman home at Lake Creek Sunday aternoon.

Chapmanville News Notes

By ELIZABETH McCLELLAND (NOTE THE BYLINE)

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Arters were Sunday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Van Cimp* of Lake Creek.

Oil City Derrick (Oil City, Pennsylvania) 15 Jul  1927

*****

*Should the name be Van Camp? Minnie had a cousin, William Clyde Van Camp, son of George Van Camp and Nancy Hineman (who was the daughter of Phillip Hineman.) I will need to do some checking.

UPDATE: Yes, the name is VanCamp.

Clyde Arters attended the Davison reunion at Sunville? on Saturday afternoon and the Arters-Arthurs reunion at Mystic Park on Sunday afternoon.

Miss Anna McClelland was also a visitor at the Davison reunion.

Mrs. Grace Bell of Franklin and Mrs. Clara Davison of Erie were Friday afternoon callers at the McClelland home.

QUESTION: Is there another DAVISON connection, besides James K. Hineman’s wife, Mary Adaline Davison?

****************************

UPDAATE: THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT SYLVIA! Based on new information, it appears Sylvia married M.A. Stull, whose first name appears to be Marshall. They were living in Florida.

Now for some serious speculating.

Sylvia McClelland, daughter of Jeremiah and Agnes (Hineman) McClelland is living at home until at least 1900, and was in her 30’s at that time. Since the 1910 census states that 4 of Agnes‘ children are still living,  Sylvia must have finally married someone.

This is took quite a bit of searching, but I think it’s a real possibility this is her. Erie County, PA is not far from Venango County, PA. See what you think:

This fellow is in his 30’s and still single in 1900:

Now, in 1920, no John P. Shreve to be found, or Sylvia B, but look here, a Sylvia BSylvia, and our Sylvia McClelland. married to some fellow from France! Notice she was first married at the age of 36. This fits the time frame of the above

End of speculation, what do you think?

If you have questions, corrections or information, please leave a comment. Thanks!

James K. Hineman, son of  John and Mary Magdalene (McConnell) Hineman

Evidently, James was married a second time, about 1902 to Ellen Unknown. I am thinking that the Rhoda Phillips, mentioned in the obituary is her sister, but I haven’t been able to locate her on the census records. If she heard the shot, she was either living nearby or with them?

AGED MAN OF BRADLEYTOWN SHOOTS SELF

James Hindman, 80, Commits Suicide in Woods Near Home, Jury Says

WAS ILL LONG TIME

His head nearly blown off by a shotgun, James Hindman, 80, of Bradleytown, was found before dawn Monday morning in the woods near Black Ash, Crawford county, after he had gone to the secluded spot to end his life. In——-(increasing?) infirmities and diseases of old age, of which he had complained frequently, are said to be the motives for his suicide.

Relatives led the search for the aged man, after he had been missing all night from his home.

The circumstances of the death wound and the position of the weapon used led Hugh D. Brown, deputy coroner, in the absence of the regular official, and a coroner’s jury to return the suicide verdict. The aged man had evidently placed the stock of the shotgun on the ground, and faced away from the barrel, when he fired the shot.

Mrs. Rhoda Phillips, a sister-in-lw of the dead man, heard the shot at 11 o’clock Sunday night, but did not investigate.

Surviving the deceased are his widow, aged and an invalid, and three children: Mrs. Hattie Billig, of near Diamond, John Hindman, of New Richmond, and William Hindman, of Oregon. Also one grandson, making his home with the family, Clifford Hunt.

Regarding James’ sister, Rachel, who is living with him in two census years, the name looks like it could be spelled Shoutz. I have tried searching for her with various spelling variations, but haven’t been able to find her. The married name I have for her in my family tree is MOSLEY, but I can’t locate her under that name, or the MARVEN surname either. There is a Rachel Marven, living with Susan Howell, who is a sister of Rachel Hineman, although the Rachel is listed as a servant, not sister, so I am not sure it is her, but she has the same birth year.

**Clifford Hunt, son of Edward and Elizabeth (Hineman) Hunt is also difficult to track down. This is the only census record I have found him on so far. I also can’t locate his sister, Adaline or his parents, other than the 1900 census. I would assume his mother died prior to 1920, since Clifford is with his grandparents, and the obitiary above does not mention her, so he is definitely not still living in 1923.

UPDATE: I have been doing more searching trying  to find Edward Hunt and I noticed an Earl and Grace Hunt and an Elen Hunt neary Edward and Elizabeth in 1900, so I started searching for Earl and Ellen on earlier census records and think I have found them, and Edward (who is listed as Edwin) in 1880:

Name:  Earlie Hunt (This is the Earl on the 1900 census)
Home in 1880: Clarks Mills, Mercer, Pennsylvania
Age: 1
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1879
Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Relation to head-of-household: Son
Father’s Name:     L. T.
Father’s birthplace: New York
Mother’s Name:     Ellen M.
Mother’s birthplace: New York
Occupation: At Home
Marital Status: Single
Race:     White
Gender: Male

Warren Hunt     18
Frank Hunt     13
Lyman Hunt     11
Edwin Hunt     5 (Is this Edward Hunt?)
Willie Hunt     3
Earlie Hunt     1

Not only do I think this is the correct family (they were in Crawford Co., PA on other census records) BUT I also think this is the Ellen that was later married to James K. Hineman. It makes sense that they would marry since they were raising Clifford Hunt, their grandson, and would also explain why Edward and Elizabeth cannot be found. So…my theory is that James married Edward’s mother! She is the correct and and was born in New York.

Here are other census records for them:
