Daniel Howell was married to Susannah N. Hineman, daughter of John Hineman and Mary Magdalene McConnell. Evidently, they had a daughter by the name of Ida, but I haven’t been able to find out what happened to her.

**NOTE: Evidently, I posted the census records and a few notes on Daniel Howell before ( and forgot about it) so some of this might be a repeat.

NOTE: Susan Hineman Howell transfers ownership of farm to her husband:

Real Estate Transfers

Susan N. Howell to Daniel Howell, Oil Creek, 45 acres.

Titusville Morning Herald (Titusville, Pennsylvania) November 10, 1905

*****

NOTE: Below, you can see Daniel Howell now has the farm up for sale, so Susan Hineman Howell must have passed away. I think she must have known she was dying, and transferred ownership over to her husband for this reason.

Titusville Morning Herald (Titusville, Pennsylvania) January 31, 1908

ANOTHER NOTE: On the ad above, there is also a Thomas Shontz farm and a I.Z. Seltzer farm for sale. Susan Hineman Howell’s sister, Rachel was married to a Shontz at one time, but never appears on a census with him. [Thomas Shontz appears to have been married first to an Amanda, then a Jennie] Also, Minerva Seltzer’s father was I.G. Seltzer. She was married to William Marshall Hineman, a son of James K. Hineman. I don’t known if I.G. and I.Z. are related or not, but I think there is a good possibility that they could be.

Here is the funeral notice for Agnes Hineman McClelland:

Funeral Today — Funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Jeremiah McClelland will be held at 11 o’clock this forenoon at the Chapmanville Baptist church, Rev. C.H. Wood will be in charge.

Agnes Hineman and Jeremiah McClelland’s daughter, Sylvia married Marshall A. Stull, at least that is who it APPEARS  to have been. This looks like his 2nd or 3rd marriage.  According to census records, he was born about 1873, so he was younger than Sylvia, although the 1910 census seems to have her age fudged a bit, as it is listed as 1872 and prior census records show abt. 1866.  1910 census (Palmetto, Manatee, Florida) states they had been married 2 years, had one child, no longer living.  Marshall’s brother, Morgan, age 20, was living with them in Florida. There seems to be ANOTHER Morgan A. Stull, same age, living in Plum township, Venango Co., PA,  father also born NJ, but with a wife by the name of Maud E, whose father was born in Ireland.

Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Stull of Tampa, Fla., are guests of the latter’s father and sisters, Jeremiah McClelland and the Misses Anna and Elizabeth McClelland and Mrs. Clyde Arters.

NOTE: Possible new John and Mary (McConnell) Hineman connection!

After my last post regarding Clyde Arters and Minnie McClellan[d], I searched the newspaper archives for more ARTERS and found the following obituary for the wife of James B. Arters, who was Clyde’s brother:

Mrs. Arters, 88, Succumbs

BRADLEYTOWN — Mrs. Cassie Arters, 88, a resident here, widow of James Arters, died at 10:45 p.m. Sunday in the Sharp Convalescent Home, Pleasantville, following an extended illness.

She was born on July 20, 1874, in Bradleytown, and lived most of her life in that community.

Her children preceded her in death. Surviving are five grandchildren, James Smith, New Orleans; Dean Smith, Erie; Richard Smith, California; Twila Smith, Meadville, and Mrs. Marilyn Mehaelose?, Townville.

Removal was made in the Williams Funeral Home, Chapmanville.

Now I had a family to search for prior to their marriage:

Razilla Jennings 29
Merton B. Jennings 11 ** see below
Cassie L. Jennings 7

***

For 1870, I couldn’t find her father, Robert Jennings, so I searched for Merton, who was old enough to show up on the census record.

And look who  he is living with!

John and Mary (McConnell) Hineman

And who is missing? Their daughter, Elizabeth, who was old enough to be married.

So…I am thinking that she was married to Robert Jennings and probably died in childbirth. Why else would this seemingly unrelated baby be living in this house?
Name: Merton Jennings
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869

Based on the age span of the two Jennings children, (Merton and Cassie) it makes sense that the Razilla/Rose is a second wife for Robert Jennings.

Here is Robert and Rose in 1910:

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.

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

*****

*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: Notice that Martha Arters and J.W. Arters are listed at the Patterson reunion. Was Martha, Clyde Arters, mother, a Patterson?

UPDATE: Yes, Martha Arters was Martha L. Patterson, daughter of Thomas Patterson and Elizabeth UNKNOWN.

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

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:

Name: John P Shreve

In 1910,  he is married to a Sylvia, of the right age, and has been married for 8 years.

Name:  Sylvia B Shreve
Age in 1910: 45
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1865

John P Shreve 41 (married 8 years, 1st for both)
Sylvia B Shreve 45 (1 child, 0 living)

***

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

Name: Sylvia B Bartholme

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
Household Members:
Name     Age
L. T. Hunt     45
Ellen M. Hunt     38
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:
