2901 The following obituary appeared in the Saguache "Advance," Thursday, August 21, 1884, p. 8, col. 3

********************
"DIED.

At Ojo Caliente Springs, New Mexico, on the 12th inst., of Asthma, Mr. Jessee [sic] Noland, of Saguache. Aged 57 years and 10 months.

----------

Our community [was] startled last week, on the afternoon of the above date, by the sudden announcement that a telegram had been received by Mrs. N. A. Noland, from the above mentioned springs, conveying to her the sad intelligence of the sudden death of her husband, Mr. [Jesse] Noland, for several years, one of the influential and prominent business men of Saguache. Mr. Noland had been in failing health for some time past, and concluded to make a trip, in company with his friend, Mr. Thomas F. Hickey, of this place, for the purpose of visiting the warm sulphur springs of New Mexico, in hopes of benefiting his health. The result has proved different however, and his wife and family are now called to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband, and indulgent parent.

Possessing a quiet and unobtrusive disposition, the deceased by his affable manners, in all the social walks of life, attached to him many warm personal friends, which combined with his strict honesty and integrity, and sterling business qualities, enabled him to command the highest respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. The deceased leaves a widow and one son, who are residents of this county, one son living near Durango in this state, and a daughter residing in the city of Denver, to mourn his loss, together with an aged mother, three brothers, and two sisters, who reside in the state of Missouri.

Mr. Noland previous to his coming to Saguache, was a resident of Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, where for a number of years, he carried on an extensive mercantile business. For the past seven years he has been a resident of this town, being all the while identified with its business interests, the larger portion of the time, as a dealer in dry goods and general merchandise. Mr. Noland retired from the mercantile business about one year ago, and engaged in the stock-raising business in this county, and by his prudent careful dealing had at the time of his death become possessor of considerable real and personal property.

During the progress of the war between this government and Mexico, about thirty-seven years ago, Mr. Noland, who was then a young man, joined the command of Col. Doniphan, which marched from the Missouri river through this valley years ago, into that country, and in common with thousands of other brave citizen soldiers, who risked their lives in the service of their country, assisted in acquiring for this government from that republic, the magnificent public domain ceded to the United States, which was the immediate result of the successful termination of that war, a portion of which is included within the boundaries of this commonwealth.

It is the intention of Mrs. Noland, as soon as the cool weather will permit, to remove the remains of her late husband from the place where they now rest, and bring them home to this place for burial.

The monuments that are reared by human hands to perpetuate the memory of our departed kindred; the tears of sorrow shed by the side of their last resting place; and the flowers strewn by the hands of affection above the graves of the friends we have loved and lost, may in time pass away and be forgotten, but the hallowed remembrance of wedded and parental love, exalted by the noblest virtues, will survive after death, and will last as long as life itself endures.

2904 The last sad rites over the remains of W.H. Hoffman who passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elsie Hougan at Grand Island Tuesday, April 24th, were held at Harmony cemetery Thursday afternoon at one o’clock, when a local pastor of a church at Grand Island conducted a short service at the grave. In the passing of Mr. Hoffman another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers, having resided here since 1874, being until recent years engaged in the mercantile business, first at the town of Wells before Bladen became a town and later in Bladen. He has finished a long and active life and up to within a few days of his passing, attended to all his business affairs with the same keen interest he always manifested in years past. The funeral services were held in Grand Island Tuesday morning after which the remains were driven to Bladen by auto hearse, accompanied by the immediate relatives, the pastor and undertaker. Friends and neighbors joined the procession here on to Harmony cemetery where interment was made. The tender sympathy of old time neighbors and friends is extended to the bereaved relatives.

Wm. H. Hoffman was born in Ross county, Ohio, Sept. 16, 1834. Departed this life April 24, 1917, aged 82 years, 7 months and 8 days. He leaves to mourn his departure, four daughters, one son, a sister, thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He located in Louisa county, Iowa in 1841, later moving to Jo______ county the same state. From there he moved to Ft. Scott, Kan., and in 1874 came to Nebraska, finally settling in Webster county one mile west of the present town of Bladen.

Sept. 21, 1854 he was united in marriage to Emeline Strewbough. To this union were born five children, three boys and two girls, all the boys and one girl having died at a tender age. One daughter survives him, Mrs. Cynthia Spicknall of Sidney. His wife died Jan. 26, 1866 at Atkinson county, Mo. Feb. 21, 1869 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Angeline Boyd, she having preceded him to the better land. To this union seven children were born, six girls and one boy, three daughters having preceded him two dying in infancy and Mrs. Lillie Spence on July 21, 1896, aged 22 years. Those living are E.M. Hoffman of Omaha; Mrs. Nettie Bennett of Beatrice; Mrs. Lettie Bowersox and Mrs. Elsie Hougan of Grand Island, Nebr. He united with the Mt. Carmel church of Bladen in the year 1895 and remained true to the faith until death.

The following relatives were present at the funeral of W.H. Hoffman and accompanied the remains from Grand Island: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Spicknall of Sidney, Neb.; E.M. Hoffman, Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Bennett and son Clayton, of Beatrice; Mr. and Mrs. B.E. Bowersox and daughters, Ferrel and Thelma and Mr. and Mrs. Casper Hougan and son, Rumont, of Grand Island.

2908 The residence of Gideon Durfee, while in Tiverton, R. I.,
was on that portion of the estate of his father near Wa-
tupper Pond bequeathed to him in his father's will, until
he removed with his family to Wayne County, New York.
He held a commission as Lieutenant of Militia from
George III, King of England, and this document was in
later years a relic in the possession of his grandson, Philo
Durfee (deceased).

" Nevertheless, when the War of the Revolution broke
out, he was a sturdy patriot, and was enrolled and served
as a minute man ; at the same time sending his two eldest
sons to serve in the Revolutionary Army."

" They were under the command of General Sullivan
during his famous retreat from Rhode Island."

Shortly after the close of the war his two sons, Earle
and Lemuel, removed from Tiverton and settled in Cam-
bridge, New York. In the spring of 1791 Mr. Durfee,
with his wife and children, set out on their journey to
Wayne County, New York.

On pages 380 to 382 of a book entitled " Phelps and
Gorman Purchase," the following account is given rela-
tive to the settlement of Wayne County, N. Y., in 1790 :
" 91," 92, near the present city of Palmyra by " Gideon
Durfee, the elder, his sons Gideon, Edward, Job, Pardon,
Stephen, and Lemuel."

" The Durfee family were from Tiverton, E. I. In the
Summer of 1790, Gideon and Edward came first to Far-
mington, and Gideon returning in the fall represented the
country so favorably, that the whole family resolved upon
emigration. . Gideon with Isaac Springer, came back in
the winter of 1790 and '91 with an ox sled, consuming
17^ days in the journey. Gideon purchased of John
Swift his choice of 1,600 acres. He located it on what
was long known as ' Durfee street,' a short distance below
Palmyra, securing a large amount of the flats on the Gan-
argeva ; Being soon rejoined by his brother Edward, the
brothers and Springer built a cabin and clearing six acres,
and without the use of a plough, planted it to corn.

" The brothers returned to Rhode Island and brought
out their brothers, Pardon and Job, with their families,
coming in a bateau and landing at their new home in the
wilderness, almost destitute of food.

" They were rejoiced on their arrival to find their corn
fit for roasting, a forwardness they have never since known.

" It served them the two fold purposes of food, and con-
fidence in the soil and climate, the six acres yielded 50
bushels to the acre, a quantity that served their own wants
and over stocked the market as there were few consumers.

The remainder of the large family came out in the
winter of 1791 and '92. They had a large crop, some of
which was marketed at Schenectady : probably the first
that ever reached that market from as far west as
Palmyra.

Otherwise prosperous, sickness soon laid a heavy hand
upon the large household, 17, out of 22, being prostrated
at one time with fevers ; their first bread was made from
pounded corn ; their first grinding was procured at Wilders
mill, and occasionally at the Friends mill Jerusalem."

The following is from the same publication and written
by Stephen Durfee.

" There was general prosperity in the early settlement.
All were friendly, mutual dependence made us so ; and
struggling with the hardships of pioneer life there was a
fellow feeling a sympathy for each others misfortunes ;
but little of which exists now ; The first curse that came
upon us was whiskey distilleries when the new settlers
would take their corn and rye and get them converted to
what was the cause in many instances of their ruin ; and
that of many of their sons ; there was not only habitual
every day drinking but much intoxication ; I saw so much
of the evils of intoxication that I refrained entirely and
was almost alone in it ; I think the first temperance move-
ment practical one in all this region was made by me
when I raised my house in 1811. when I invited my
neighbors to the raising ; I gave out that no liquor would
be provided, and although it was a new experiment I had
no difficulty in raising my house ; Strict temperance was
not then a discipline with the Society of Friends to which
I belonged but afterwards became so."

" Our first commerce was the navigation of the
Ganargeva creek ; then came the big wagons, then the
Erie canal that gave us fair steady prices for produce,
raised the value of land and brought on a new era of
enterprise and prosperity."

The following is gleaned from the Military History of
Wayne Co. N. Y. :

" The first tract of land sold and deeded in East
Palmyra Wayne Co N. Y. was a lot of six hundred (600)
acres south of Mud Creek square in form, purchased by
Gideon Durfee May 19th 1791."

" The log hut of Mr. Durfee standing in 1877. near the
Presbeterian Parsonage was the first habitation in that
section."

" The burying ground of the Durfee Family was on the
farm of Ira Lakey ; the first burial there was a child of
Gideon Durfee Junior, and in that plat lie the remains of
the early settlers."

"The farm east of Gideon Durfee Senior was occupied
by his son-in-law Weaver Osband."

" In 1796 Louis Phillipe who afterwards became the
French King, while traveling through the country stopped
with Mr. Gideon Durfee, being on his way east from a
visit to the Falls of Niagara."

" Gideon Durfee Sr. gave ^ of the land on which the
East Palmyra Presbeterian Church was erected in July
1807."

" The first Town meeting was held at Gideon Durfee
Sr's house in April 1796."

It is also stated in the history referred to that Gideon
Durfee, Sr., was a soldier in the Kevolutionary Army.
The following is a record of his military service as found
in " Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Kevolutionary
War, compiled from the Archives." " He was a Private in
Capt. Peleg Simmons'es Co Col. Christopher Olney's
regt. muster roll dated Newport, K. I. Oct. 23rd 1781.
joined and marched Oct (?) 8th 1781. reported on guard
duty."

2909 The story is that Lambert was born out of wedlock. Mollie never married (that we know of). The Niemeier last name was found in some newspaper articles about Mollie and Lambert (with Neimeier being Lambert's given last name). It is unknown who Lambert's father was and how Mollie knew him. Family F871
