19	"Memories" by Jennie Stoughton Osborn, Copyright 1935 by Jennie Stoughton Osborn, Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Pg. 2 "My mother was living on her farm near Matildaville, Pennsylvania when she met my father, Barnard VanZant Stoughton, who was working at his trade, the shoe business, in Kalensburg, Armstrong, Co., Pa. When I was about a year old they moved out to my mother's farm and there my two younger sisters were born. They then gathered the rest of the children into the home where those mischievous boys kept things stirring." Pg. 3 "My mother, Susan Myer, had been the wife of John Hagan who died when they had been married twelve years, leaving her with one little boy, John Edward Hagan. Father had married Susan Harvey, but she died leaving six children: John, Joseph, Elliott, Hannah, Catharine, and Susan Blanche, the baby whom the mother gave to her sister, a Mrs. Dustin, who took her to Illinois... When we left mother's farm, we moved to Clarion County on a farm owned by one of mother's brothers and lived there one year; but father could not farm and do much at his trade too. So we moved into a little burg named Bellville. It was a crossroad town of a few houses, ...Sligo Furnace was (2 miles) south, Madison Furnace five miles west, Polk Furnace four miles north, and Curlville three miles East." Pg. 4 Children walked 1 1/2 miles to school. The family was in Bellville in 1858 and during the 3 years that Jennie was seven-ten yrs of age. Pg. 6 re. Bellville "the three little girls of us had happy times living among our mother's people ...We liked best to go to our uncle Sam and aunt Betsy Morgan's house because they had no children...My mother had seven brothers: Billy, Val, John, Jake, Sam, Joe and Jim..(she) had only two sisters: Polly Johnson and Betsy Morgan. Father's brothers were Billy, Andrew, John, Luke, Jake and Barny. Barney was our father. He had three sisters: Mrs. Effie Logan, Mrs. Hannah Patterson and Mrs. Jane Boyle. Most of father's people lived in Butler Co. Pa., and most of mother's in Clarion Co. Pa. My children, all being Jayhawkers, have never known any of their "great relationship"." Just for fun: "Weevily Wheat" song mentioned by Jennie S. Stoughton in her "Memories" as sung by the children, for dancing to, at school.

20	Glenna Louise DeLay (Carlson) correspondence, March 2009. The 1930 census record of the G. A DeLay family of Neodesha KS (source #16 above) erroneously lists Glenna Louise DeLay as "Glenna Cecile". In the obituary of Jennie Stoughton Osborn (source #9), she is correctly listed as Louise DeLay. Glenna and Louise are the same person. Ed. note: We had at one time erroneously listed four children of the G. A. DeLay family, based on the 1930 census and Jennie S. Osborn obituary. There were in fact three children. Record of descendants of the Glenn A. DeLay & Cecile Osborn family.
21	Barber County Kansas website at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ksbarber/osborn_jennie.html Data and photos re. the Osborn family contributed by Bob Osborn, who kindly gave us permission to upload them here.
22	DeLay family correspondence August 2012, ongoing. In the photo of the W. G. Osborn family,"Uncle Bidge" is George Osborn who resided in Salt Lake City. He married a woman named Grace. (His sister) Cecile gave the middle name "Grace" for her daughter Dorothy. Bidge and Grace may have also lived in Canyon City CO at one point. Grace's death date is unknown, but Bidge was widowed by (the late 1950's). The Hookers were related to us, but how they are related is not known. The name Hooker appears as middle name of a great-grandson of W. G. Osborn.
