John M. Freeman (1829-1907), third-great uncle of the Ballantyne-Dailey-Uible cousins was born in Pittsburgh in Feb. 1829, died in Toronto, Jefferson County, Ohio in November 1907.  He married Cyrene Peggs in August 1864 and they had two daughters – Lucile Freeman Rogers (1873-1920?),  and Cyrene "Rena" Freeman (1872-1952).  

John, who owned and operated a Sewer Pipe Manufacturing company, was a Civil War Veteran and was the younger brother of James L. Freeman (1809-1892).  James was the maternal grandfather of Nathaniel Wallace Ballantyne (1868-1949).

Following is the obituary from the (New Cumberland WV) Hancock County Independent, published November 21, 1907.

JOHN M. FREEMAN

- - - - -

Pioneer Brick and Clay Manufacturer 

Answers Death's Summons

John M. Freeman, one of the pioneer brick and sewer pipe manufacturers of the Ohio valley, prominently identified with the fire clay industry for nearly half a century, died at his home in Toronto, Sunday morning.

Mr. Freeman had not been in good health for two or three years, but was not confined to the house except for a few weeks prior to his death.  He was in the 88 year of his age at the time of his death.  He was born in Pittsburg, being a son of Thomas Freeman, who came to this county with his family in 1833, and settled at Freeman's Landing.  There the senior Freeman embarked in the clay and brick business and is said to have been the pioneer of that industry west of the mountains.

The business was conducted there for many years, and the family was honored and respected among the most prominent residents of the county.

There were fourteen children, all of whom but two have answered the final summons.  Among those were James, William B., Samuel, Charles A., and John M., the survivors being Miss Virginia of this place and Mrs. Mary Trusdale [Truesdale], of Iowa.

In 1846 John M. Freeman went to Cincinnati and there engaged in the brick, coal and cement business, which he conducted for ten years, and subsequently engaged in similar business i Madison Indiana and after devoting some years to that field, returned to this neighborhood, and embarked in the brick and sewer pipe business at Freeman's station, with his brother, Charles A., which business was continued until it was merged into the American Sewer Pipe Co., in 1901.  The death of Charles Freeman followed about five years ago.

Mr. Freeman [indecipherable: who had recently lived?] in Steubenville with his daughter, Mrs. Lucile Rogers, moved to Toronto, and the days he spent there were days of real enjoyment, because he always seemed glad to get back into the vicinity in which he spent his boyhood days, and here he enjoyed meeting his old friends, the rugged river scenery, the sight of the old factory operated so many years by his venerable father long since dead.

Mr. Freeman was a man of genial social qualities, which made for him many warm friends.  The news of his death therefore will be learned with sadness by all who knew him.  He was a man esteemed in business circles for his honor and integrity.  He was a member of the Second Presbyterian church of Steubenville.  He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Rodgers [Rogers], of Toronto and Miss Cyrene Freeman, of Steubenville.

The funeral services were held at his late home in Toronto at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon brief services being conducted by Dr. Robinson and Rev. Hodil and the remains were conveyed by trolley to the Steubenville cemetery for internment.

1987 Family Letter -Sep.2

Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1987

Dear Family:

Our immediate New Vienna family is shrinking.  Serena left last Saturday and M.V. will be going this next Monday.  In fact she has been gone a lot this week.  John is to be down this weekend and the Kings in two more weeks.

Bill Smallridge passed away last Sunday morning, you may recall that his son, Clarence died last year.  Bill's two daughters with their husbands arrived yesterday from L.A.  They called me about going to the Lions Club this evening.  They seemed to enjoy getting away from the "mourning."

Mother got her new hearing aid Monday afternoon . . . most of it is on the outside of her ear, which is more comfortable than the previous one.  The new one also has more flexibility on controls.  For volume there is a range from one to four and she uses the low mark of one.

We are sorry to hear that the Morgans cannot make the January trip, tho we certainly understand.  Last Sunday evening we went to a preview of the trip.  One of the couples going on the trip are good friends of ours – she teaches at N.V. and her husband is an executive with Krogers in Cincinnati and is also a pastor at a nearby Church (talk about being busy).

Have heard that Clyde Irwin has cancer . . . after he got married again he moved into his wife's home near Dayton, so we don't see him much anymore.  One could not ask for a better neighbor than Clyde.  You will recall that he always looked the picture of health.

Catherine, you asked about my schedule.  I think I will work Tuesday afternoon, all day Thursdays and Friday mornings.  Nancy Cooper is there full time now so the library is covered and after she learns "the ropes" I may be able to take more time off.  The 6th grade classes are contained to themselves and only the 7th and 8th grade classes among each other so there is a lot less walking thru the library.  It is a lot different this year.

We enjoyed reading some of the reports Serena brought home from library school and know she felt good from the Prof's very positive comments.  She will be finishing up in December.

The Clinton County "Y" is now under construction . . some 2 Million worth which was raised voluntarily in the area.  It will be a nice addition to the present Wilmington College facilities.

[love, etc.]

C.J. Uible's step-mother, Andelia Hudson Shull Uible, died March 25, 1937, at the age of 92 at the home of her son J.W. Shull, in Liberty, Indiana.  She married David Uible in 1892 after the death of CJ's mother in 1890.  Andelia and her first husband, John Shull, were the parents of five children, two daughters and a son were pre-deceased.  David died in 1926.  She is buried in the Blanchester (Ohio) IOOF cemetery.

Andelia is shown third from right in front row below:

1966 Vertie Uible obit -Sep.20

Verda May Burton Barger Uible, "Aunt Vertie" was born on March 11, 1879 in Fayette County, Ohio, the daughter of James and Laura Belle Carson Burton.   She was the oldest of five siblings, with three sisters and a brother.  Her sister, Elizabeth (1887-1974) was the mother of famous Hillsboro cartoonist, Milton Caniff (1907-1988), of whom Aunt Vertie was extremely proud.

She married her first husband, Harry Quincy Barger, in 1899.  He died in 1916.   In 1920 she married her second husband, William David "W.D." Uible, in Highland County, Ohio. She died on September 20, 1966, in Washington Court House, Ohio, at the age of 87.

She lived in a small house on the main street of Leesburg, where the Uible family made frequent visits before she moved to the nursing home in Washington Court House.  I have memories of seeing her "shrine" to Caniff on the fireplace mantel in her sitting room and playing "Mother May I" in her front yard with neighboring children.  At one time Uncle Will and Aunt Vertie operated a dairy on their property.

An obituary of her husband, our great-uncle, William David "W.D." or "Will" Uible can be found at this link: http://uible.blogspot.com/2012/10/1942-obituary-of-wd-uible-oct-2.html.

Oliver (1752-1846) had eleven children born between 1776 and 1800, who included John (1780-1852), grandfather of Adrian Wilmer (father of Lucie); and William (1787-), father of Thomas Stephen.

Oliver's son, John, who is great-grandfather of Lucie, had ten children with his first wife, Abigail Richardson (1756-), and eight with his second wife, Eleanor Doddridge, (1780-1852). His son,  Lucie's grandfather, John D. Brown, married Lucie F. Hewlett (1823-1886) in 1852, and they were the parents of Adrian Wilmer Brown 1855-1906 , Cora Brown Crawford 1856-1923, and John C. Brown 1859-.

Attorney Thomas Stephen Brown

Dies at Home in Pittsburgh

––––––––

Was Born and Reared in Hollidays Cove.  Took

Part in the Famous Baker Trial in this County

–––––

Thomas Stephen Brown, 79, a prominent attorney of Pittsburgh died at this home at 265 North Ditridge street at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning.  Mr. Brown was born in Hollidays Cove, Hancock county and was a descendant of Captain Oliver Brown, of the Revolutionary war.  Captain Oliver Brown settled in Hollidays Cove in 1790 and was driven out by the Indians.  

Thos. S. Brown was a son of William Brown and was born in the Cove November 23, 1855.  He attended Washington and Jefferson college and graduated in 1877 and later began the practice of law in Pittsburgh. 

He served as President of the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and took an active interest in this work.  He belonged to the Pennsylvania Historical  Society, the Chamber of Commerce, the University club, was a prominent Mason and trustee of the Bellefield Presbyterian church and legal advisor for the Pittsburgh Presbytery.

The passing of Mr. Brown recalls the historical record of Capt. Oliver Brown, who served in the Revolutionary war, he was born in Lexington, Mass.  He was of English extract.  Those of his ancestors who came to America were among the first settlers of the Massachusetts colony.  Their attachment for their new home became stronger as the years rolled on.  Capt. Brown happened in Boston on the memorable day when the act of throwing the tea overboard was performed.  The unusual excitement which preceded this event did not escape his observation but he returned to Cambridge without discovering the cause of it.  He had seen enough to convince him that a bold and decisive step was to be taken.  He returned to Boston and repaired to the place where the tea ship was riding, he saw the party dressed in costume and painted in the color of Mohawk Indians, and one by one he saw them throw every box of tea into the sea.  This act was an open defiance of England and worked upon the minds of both the royalists and patriots.  He became a warrior in feeling and deed and we next find him engaged at Lexington in the first battle of the revolutionary war in the Battle of Bunker Hill.  He was commissioned by congress in January 1776 and later commanded the volunteer party that bore off the leaden statue of King George, from the battery of New York and made it into bullets for the American army, and later became a captain.  He bore a conspicuous part in command of artillery at the battles of White Plains, Harlem Heights, Princeton, Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.  After the close of the war he, with his family, removed to the west and settled at Charlestown, now Wellsburg in Brooke county, at that time a part of old Virginia.  HE died February 17, 1846 at Wellsburg and is buried in the Brown family lot at Wellsburg.

Mr. Brown is survived by one daughter, Mrs. John J. Paul of Wellsburg and one son, Oliver W. Brown of Pittsburgh, who had a law partnership with is father.

Mr. Brown was an uncle of Bert Lee and cousin of Mrs. J.M. Monfort of Steubenville and cousin of Mrs. N.W. Ballantyne, R.M. Brown of this place and Ray C. Brown of Chicago.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Bellefield Presbyterian church, and burial will be made at Homewood cemetery.  Courts adjourned in Pittsburgh out of respect of the decedent's memory.
