1.  1880 census it appears the name is Amidy H. Smith.  Longanecker family has an Amity (male) and I believe that it is the correct name.  I’ve also found Amadee as a spelling of this name.

1.  This child from census is identified as Hannah.  Jim Smith lists daughter Sarah Frances b. 13 Dec 1876 which would match the census data.  Margaret Summitt also lists her as Sarah Frances so where did the census taker come up with Hannah?  2006 pjm  1880 Census shows her as Hannah S.

Three weeks before she died she expressed a desire to live a life of service and usefulness to the Lord and wanted to be admitted into the Church.

5.  Family story:  #1 Homer ran away from home when he was between 10 and 12 years old after disagreement with his  parents over religion .  He supposedly traveled out west to Washington State.  #2  He was one of the youngest  of 10-12 children and his family was well-to-do.

His father supposedly became a large landowner in the Chicago area including owning the land where either Flossmoor Country Club or a race track was built.  When he died the children  supposedly fought each  other over the inheritance and by the time all the suits were over the only ones with anything were the lawyers.

 

2005 - We have absolutely no idea where this story originated but both Sandie and I remember hearing it.  I wonder if this could have actually been Grandma’s family as Busse’s were wealthy landowners in the Chicago area.  Although I believe her grandfather Fred Busse was born in Germany, he was in Addison, DuPage Co., IL which was a prominent Busse area.

 

6.  Homer applied (or at least Carrie applied as the envelope was in her handwriting) for a delayed special registration of birth in October of 1942 under a law passed in 1941 that allowed this.  In his application he lists his occupation as steam fitter and his residence as R. R. #2, Chicago Heights, IL. There is an affidavit signed by John Elsworth Johnson attached that says he is the father.  There is also an affidavit of one Elizabeth M. Honsaker who says he has known Homer for 53 years and that she is a non-relative to the applicant. The record is filed as #1982 of 1942 and dated October 14, 1942.

 

In 1917 when Homer Newton was 27, he married Caroline Alvine Christine Busse, Grandmother, 34, F, daughter of Wilhelm Busse, 37, M (Dec 1859-~1910) & W. Emilie “Sophia” Christine Thurnau, 2651, F (23 Oct 1864-29 Feb 1948). Born on 21 Aug 1889 in Eagle Lake, Will Co., IL. Christened in St. Johns, Eagle Lake, IL. Caroline Alvine Christine died in Harvey, Cook Co., IL, on 7 Jul 1970; she was 80. Buried on 9 Jul 1970 in Cedar Park Cemetery, Calumet Park, IL.

1.  August 16, 1941, Steger, IL (probably in the church bulletin)

Last night in a beautiful candle-lit floral setting, marriage lines were read in the Steger Church for Mr. Bob Johnson and Miss Lois Hartmann.  Mrs. Sarah Shelby played the wedding march and accompanied Miss Marjorie Hartmann who sang "I love you Truly."  Following the marriage cermony friends of the bride and groom extended greetings to the young couple at the reception held in the church parlor.

 

2.  Lois was a talented artist and when she was in school she used to make greeting cards and sell them for extra money.  She was offered a college scholarship in art but was forced to decline it.  She used her background in art during her career in advertising.

 

3.  During WWII she worked as a telephone operator as did her mother and her sister.

 

4.  After moving from Steger, IL to Morrisville, PA, after WWII, she was active as a Brownie leader and as the Superintendent of the Sunday School for the First Presbyterian Church.

 

5.  She liked to garden and she particularly liked bearded iris.  She often used them to make corsages for special events and in arrangements for local flower shows.

 

6.  She went to work in the advertising department of S. P. Dunham Department Store in Trenton, NJ during the late 1950’s and worked there until Bob’s transfer back to Chicago.  She then worked for an advertising agency in the Loop.  When Bob’s next transfer took them back to the East Coast, she worked for an advertising agency (Hayden) in Montclair, NJ.  Upon their move to   Walnut  Creek, CA she became very active in the Newcomer’s Club and worked on the scripts for their variety  show.  After Bob’s death, she moved back to the East Coast and settled in Stratford, CT at Oronoque  Village where she worked on the Villager newspaper.  She eventually went back to work at the Westport News  in Westport, CT and was employed there until her death.

8.  The Register, New Haven, CT - 6 Apr 1984

Lois H. Marshall, 62

Stratford - Lois Hartmann Johnson Marshall 62, of 61A Cheyenne Lane, Oronoque  Village, died Thursday (5 Apr 1984) at Connecticut Hospice, Branford, after a brief illness.  She was the wife of G. Thomas Marshall.

 

Mrs. marshall was born in South Chicago Heights, Ill., Oct. 4, 1921, daughter of the late Arnold and Catherine Klemme Hartmann, and was a resident of Walnut Creek, Calif., before moving to Stratford 10 years ago.  She was an assistant to the advertising and news director of Brooks Newspapers Inc., Westport.  She was co-founder of the Oronoque Village monthly publications, and was formerly associated with the Hayden Advertising Co., of Montclair, N.J.

 

In addition to her husband, she leaves two daughters, Patricia A. Mount of Amherst, Mass., and Sandra J. Wright of Orange; one sister, Marjorie H. Schlosser of University Park, Ill., and four grandchildren.

 

Graveside services will be conducted Monday at 11 a.m. in the Restland Memorial Park, Hanover, N.J. The Cody-White Funeral Home, 107 Broad St. Milford, is in charge of arrangements.

 

9.  Oronoque Villager - May 1984

Losi Johnson Marshall 1921-1984

 

The first we heard of Lois was when a neighbor said, “There’s a talented woman who just moved to Cheyenne Lane.  She’d like to  work on the Villager.”  Naturally we wasted no time reaching her by phone.  “Sure,” she said, “I’ll help.  What do you want me to do?”

 

It turned out that Lois could do almost anything on a newspaper.  She had been media director and copywriter for several department stores and advertising agencies in New Jersey and Chicago.  Recently widowed, then, back in 1975, she moved east from California to be near her two daughters.

 

But her choice for a job on the Village was layout - a spot where we desperately needed help.  And for nine years she was layout and production chief for our village paper.  One weekend each month her home was the focus of activiity as other staff members came and went, working under her direction to pull the issue together.

 

Warm friendships were formed in the doing, because Lois had a knack of making work seem like fun.  Her quick perception of what was right, her boundless creative ideas showed up in every Villager, and her gay personality inspired the rest of us.  For her, this was a labor of love.  She gave unstintingly of her precious time, for Lois had remarried and also had a demanding job as assistant to the advertising and news director for the Brooks Newspaper Syndicate in Westport.  But she always found time for the Villager.

 

This giving of herself in all areas of her life was perhaps her greatest talent.  Ask her neighbors.  Ask her many friends.  Ask Tom, her husband who so generously shared her with us.  We all felt her energy, her sensitivity to the needs of others, her caring.

 

The last time I saw Lois, her concern was typically not for herselt, “How is everything going on the paper?” she wanted to know.

 

“It’s not the same without you,” I told her, holding her hand.

 

And it never will be.
