[NI055650] Earl worked for 43 yrs for Nationwide Insurance Companies & retired as a Senior Vice Pres.. He graduated from OH State Univ. in 1951, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. He & family lived in Columbus, OH from 1951 until 1959, Memphis TN from 1960 to 1969, when they returned to Columbus.

[NI055657] BURIAL: Port Washington,Tuscarawas,OH BIOGRAPHY: May have had half bro.s named Manuel & Elmer LINT, they attended funeral with wives, Could be nephews. 3 Arnolds sent flowers, & 2 Hammersley's attended the furneral.
Her funeral book says Sarah Margaret Ames her printed obit says Margaret Elizabeth Ames.Sarah Margaret is most probably correct since her maternal grandmother was named Margaret & her paternal grandmother Margaret & her bro. William were cared for by neighbors when Mahala disappeared while Conrad was gone, during the Civil War (perhaps with Mary Dunkerly, who also disappeared whil Jacob B. Zook was gone to war the 2nd tme) These 2 chldrn, Margaret & William , were cared for by the neighbor family after Conrad returned & raised another family (perhaps the Marlatt's were those neighbor's).

[NI055658] DEATH: Living in Gnadenhutten at time of her death & for 3 mo.s prior. Her father was an only child. Buried in the Port Wasington Cem., husband is not buried beside her. Services held in the Moravian Church in Port Washington, OH BIOGRAPHY: Margaret was living with Carrie E. Sebatian, & her husb. Charles, at the time of the 1900 census, in Hamilton Twp. Franklin Co. at 112 Russell St. (this doesn't appear to be a Columbus address in 1993) The census shows her birth mo. as Feb. Obit spells her maiden name as Rennicker.

[NI055665] BIOGRAPHY: During Conrad's service period the 80th Regt. OVI participated in the battles of Salhahatchie SC 2/3-9/1865, Bentonville NC 3/19-21/1865, & Sherman's March to the Sea.The 80th was predominently Coshocton Co.OH, volunteers.Conrad was nicknamed "Coonie" He was a slightly built man with red hair and freckles. It was thought that Conrad & Mahala were divorced, in actualliy the petition for divorce was dismissed. However later the Goverment recognized the marriage of Sophia Arnold to Conrad Lint for the purpose of widow's pension, which was granted. Enlisted in Co. H 80th Regt OVI, Discharged from Service in OVI Earl Peitz passed the following story about Conrad & his father-in-law Jacob Zook. Jacob enlisted in the OH Volunteer Infantry as Conrad did later. Jacob was wounded in a battle outside Memphis & came home. His wife had died previously & upon his return home he remarried. Then Jacob enlisted in the Indiana Infantry. While he & Conrad were away at war this time both wives disappeared. The chldrn of Conrad & Mahala Ann Zook (Conrad's wife that disappeared) were Sarah & William who were left with neighbors to be raised. When Conrad returned from the war he left the 2 chldrn to be raised with that neighbor family & remarried Sophia Augusta Arnold whom he had 9 chldrn by.

[NI055671] Lutheran or Brethren

1. In a telephone interview with Dallas Lint, he seemed to believe John was a deaf mute who was run over by a train at the age of 18 in about 1907. John however was found to have died in 1898 at the ripe old age of 19 and another obituary states that George Lint a "deaf mute" age 28 was killed by a train. This was in the 22 Aug 1907 edition of the Times in Coshocton. I believe Dallas's memory just switched the incident and the two people involved. [This note in both John and George's file].

[NI055684] Christening at Holy Cross Church which was suppressed & the records located at St. Peter's Church, 2821 Sarah St. which was merged into the Prince of Peace Church.

He is listed in the 1910 census as William E.. C He had a bro. who died named Francis W.. Earl may have used his middlename & his bro.s name to come up with Earl Francis. When he recieved a baptismal certificate statement from his church it had William in parenteses. Served in the US Army 5-26-1918 to June 5, 1919, was honorably discharged with the rank of corporal from Unit #2 at Ft. Dix, NJ: formerly of Company B, 45th Engineers.

[NI055826] Leigh Brinton Lint was named after the little town he was born in, Leigh NE. He 1st moved with the family to Denver, CO in 1908 & then on to Weiser, ID in 1910. The family settled in Weiser where Leigh, his older bro. Roy & his younger sis. Nina grew up, went to school & got married. Leigh graduated from Weiser High School in 1921. Previous to graduation he had already made river trips on the Snake river the summer of 1919 & the Green & Colorado rivers the summer of 1920. In school he was an athelete playing football & baseball & publisher of the schools yrbk. After graduating he ran the Green river from Green River, WY to Green River, UT the summer of 1921 in the pay of the Southern CA Edison Co.. By this time he had earned quite a reputation as a boatman & from 13 Dec 1922 to 1 Mar 1923 he worked running the Snake river from Weiser to Lewiston. In 1923 he worked as a boatman for the Birdseye expedition surveying the Grand Canyon. There is an excellent article on this in the May 1924 issue of National Geographic Mag & a memorial on the south rim in Grand Canyon Nat'l Pk. For the next 47 yrs he worked for the gov't surveying & making maps. From 1925 to 1927 he worked surveying the Hawaiian Islands. In 1927 he returned to ID to marry his hischl sweetheart Ruby (Curley) Rock & for the next 10 yrs they moved around Northern CA. In 1927 the Klamath project, in 1928-31 the Shasta project, in 1931-33 the Modoc project, in 1934-36 the Buck Lake, Mill Creek & Kings Canyon projects, & in 1937 the Stanislaus project. From 1938-40 he lived & worked out of Redwood City, CA but in 1940 he was ordered back to VA to work on war mapping. These were difficult times with his wife Ruby & son Leigh Jr. remaining in Redwood City. In 1948 he was divorced & remarried continuing with his work throughout northern CA with the U.S. Forest Serv. Again on the Klamath, Modoc, Lassen, Stanislaus, Kings Canyon & Shasta, only not in the same order as the 1st time. His 2nd son George was raised in almost the identical environment as his 1st son Leigh Jr. was. In 1959 he was transfered & remained in El Cerrito, CA & worked out of the Forest Serv.'s Regional Office [region 5] in San Francisco. He divorced for the 2nd time in 1963 but continued to live in the San Francisco Co., bay area & work for the Forest Serv. until retiring. Upon his death at the age of 73 in Sep. of 1975 at his residence in Mill Valley, CA he was cremated & his ashes scattered at sea near Pt. Reyes Natl Seashore as he wished. Leigh was 6' tall about 180 pounds with medium complexion, light brown hair & blue eyes like his grandfather Christian before him. He was traditionally a Republican that outwardly might be called conservative but he was very liberal about a lot of things. He was gruff and a perfectionist which made him hard to get close to but to those who knew him he had a heart of gold. He didn't claim any religion but was raised a methodist. Had he chosen a religion, he once privately said he respected the LDS or Mormon church because it "took care of its own" & "no one ever went hungry". He was a born outdoorsman who had lived under the stars most of his life & always disliked working inside of an office. For over 40 yrs he lived for & loved his work which probably cost him 2 marriages & his sons. His last 7 yrs before retiring were probably his unhappiest having to work in the regional office & living alone believing he had failed in 2 marriages & with his sons. After retirement he enjoyed a quiet life at his apt in Mill Valley. His 2 sons both served as enlisted men & officers in the military in Korea, Germany & Viet Nam (within 40 mi.s of each other) & didn't know of the others existence. Upon Leigh Jr's death in 1986 they knew of each others existence but had never met. That's why this material exists today. Leigh was survived by 2 wives, 2 sons, 6 grandchldrn 8 greatgrandchldrn.

[NI055830] George Brinton Lint [named after his grandfather] was born in the small town Hosp. in Weed, CA but at the time his parents were living & working out of the USFS Ranger Station in Mt. Shasta, CA. His 1st 13 yrs were spent in the mountains of northern CA during the summer, when Leigh could do his field work mapping for the US Forest Service. The winters were spent in the San Francisco Co., bay area, when heavy snowfall in the mountains precluded any field work. Places like Mad River, Happy Camp, Trinity, Stanislaus, Modoc, Hat Creek, Redding, Mt. Lassen, Mt. Shasta, Kings Canyon, all made up George's formative yrs. Whenever possible Leigh took him out in the field with him, sometimes spending weeks on horseback or in an old Willy's Jeep high in the backcountry Sierras.

[NI055831] Nina Mae Lint was born in Golden City, Co. seat of Jefferson co., in central CO, about 10 miles west of Denver. The population in the 1980 US census was 12,237. A summer resort, in a region producing gold, clay, sugar beets, nuclear components, it's famous for it's Colorado School of Mines founder in 1874. Goldern was founded 1859 as mining camp & was capital of the Colorado Territory from 1862 to 1867. Today one of the biggest industries & tourist attractions to Golden is the Coors Brewery which is located there. A picture of George Lint taken in about 1908 when Nina was born shows him as a trolly car conductor in Denver. It's ukwn exactly where the family lived in Golden during their relatively short stay there. They left NE sometime after Leigh was born in 1902 & later arrived in the Weiser, ID area about 1910. How much of this 8 yr period was spent in the Denver/Golden area is uncertain.

1. Although everything for the members of this family is recorded as happening in Baltic, Buck twp., Tuscarawas co., OH..... in 1880 they were listed on the Crawford twp., Coshocton co., OH census.
Because Baltic is in a corner of Buck twp., Tuscarawas co... but surrounded by Clark twp., Holmes co., and Crawford twp., Coshocton co., there has been much confusion over the years who was where when they were born, married or died. In one case a person lived in Baltic [Tuscarawas] and was buried immediately across the street in Coshocton co. This note is posted with all of these family members.

[NI055841] Delilah Lint (the 10th child of Daniel Lint) was supposedly a lady of the night. Her first child (whom she named John Wesley Lint) was born out of wedlock and the father is unknown. She later married Andrew Stantz and had a family.

Catherine Holsopple, whose father, Henry Holsopple, had been taken by the Indians to the OH territory during the War of 1812 & was burned at the stake. Feb 21 1835, Jacob Custer & his wife, Catherine, Shade Twp, & Joseph Johns & his wife, Nancy, Conemaugh Twp, divided by mutual agreement the land they had purchased jointly in 1832. According to historical researchers the Jacob Custer home was built 1841, but evidence of the family being on the land even before the 1832 land sale is found with the marker of their daughter, an infant, d. 1830 buried on the land which was used for the Weaver and Custer families jointly for family burials. Jacob Custer d. 48 yrs old & is buried near his home.
