From Wikipedia:
"Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent (c. 1170 – before 5 May 1243) was Justiciar of England and Ireland and one of the most influential men in England during the reigns of King John (1199–1216) and of his infant son and successor King Henry III (1216–1272).

De Burgh's family were minor landholders in Norfolk and Suffolk, from whom he inherited at least four manors. His mother was named Alice, and his father may have been named Walter. He was the younger brother of William de Burgh (d. 1206), the founder of the de Burgh/Burke/Bourke dynasty in Ireland. His younger brother Geoffrey was Archdeacon of Norwich and then Bishop of Ely, and his younger brother Thomas was castellan of Norwich.

De Burgh entered the service of Prince John by 1198, and from then until 1202 rose in importance in John's administration. He served successively as chamberlain of John's household, an ambassador to Portugal, sheriff first of Dorset and Somerset and then of Berkshire and Cornwall, custodian of the castles of Dover and Windsor, and then custodian of the Welsh Marches. For these services, he was granted a series of manors, baronies, and other castles, and became a powerful figure in John's administration.

In 1202, de Burgh was sent to France by King John, to assist in the defense of Poitou against King Philip II of France. De Burgh was appointed castellan of the great castle of Chinon in Touraine. During this time, he served as guard of the captured Arthur I, Duke of Brittany. After almost all of Poitou had fallen to the French king, de Burgh held the castle for an entire year, until he was captured during the ultimately successful storming of the castle in 1205. He was held captive until 1207, during which time his royal appointments and grants of land passed to other men. Following his return to England, de Burgh did however acquire fresh offices in John's administration. He also acquired lands scattered throughout East Anglia, the southwest of England, and elsewhere, making him once again an important baron in England.

In 1212, de Burgh returned to France at first as deputy seneschal of Poitou and then as seneschal. He served John in his efforts to recover dominions lost to Philip II of France, until the signing of a truce between John and Philip following John's failed military campaign in France in 1214.

De Burgh remained loyal to King John during the barons' rebellion in the last years of his reign. In the early stages of that rebellion, John sent de Burgh to London with the Bishop of Coventry, in an unsuccessful attempt to command the people of London to resist the Barons' military advance. De Burgh and Philip d'Aubigny brought together the king's troops at Rochester, but then John made peace with the rebels. In Magna Carta, of 1215, de Burgh is listed as one of those who advised the king to sign that charter, of which his brother Geoffrey de Burgh, Bishop of Ely, was a witness. De Burgh is also listed as the person who would act on the king's behalf if the king were out of the country. Soon after the issuing of Magna Carta, de Burgh was officially declared Chief Justiciar of England.

During the First Barons' War of 1215–1217, de Burgh served John as sheriff of Kent and Surrey, as well as castellan of Canterbury and Dover. De Burgh defended Dover Castle during a siege that lasted until John died in October, 1216, and the infant King Henry III (1216-1272) was crowned. On 24 August 1217, a French fleet arrived off the coast of Sandwich in Kent, in order to provide Prince (later King) Louis of France, then ravaging England, with soldiers, siege engines and fresh supplies. Hubert set sail to intercept the French fleet and at the resulting Battle of Sandwich he scattered the French and captured their flagship The Great Ship of Bayonne, commanded by Eustace the Monk, who was promptly executed. When the news reached Louis, he entered into fresh peace negotiations.

When Henry III came of age in 1227 de Burgh was made Governor of Rochester Castle, lord of Montgomery Castle in the Welsh Marches and Earl of Kent. He remained one of the most influential people at court. On 27 April 1228 he was named Justiciar for life.[3] But in 1232 the plots of his enemies finally succeeded and he was removed from office and soon was in prison. He escaped from Devizes Castle and joined the rebellion of Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, in 1233. In 1234, Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, effected a reconciliation. He officially resigned the Justiciarship about 28 May 1234, but had not exercised the power of the office after September 1232.[3] The judgment was reversed by William Raleigh also known as William de Raley in 1234, which, for a time, restored the earldom.

The marriage of Hubert de Burgh's daughter Margaret (or Megotta as she was also known) to Richard of Clare, the young Earl of Gloucester, brought de Burgh into some trouble in 1236, for the earl was as yet a minor and in the king's wardship, and the marriage had been celebrated without the royal licence. Hubert, however, protested that the match was not of his making, and promised to pay the king some money, so the matter passed by for the time. Eventually the marriage came to an end, by way of her death.

In 1206 he purchased the manor of Tunstall in Kent from Robert de Arsic.[11] His eldest son John de Burgh[12] later inherited Tunstall.

He was appointed Constable of Dover Castle and was also given charge of Falaise, in Normandy. At Falaise he was the gaoler of Arthur I, Duke of Brittany, the nephew of King John and boy claimant to the English throne. Arthur may or may not have been murdered after leaving de Burgh's custody; his fate is unknown.

De Burgh is cited as having been appointed at some time before 1215 Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, which position later, after the Baron's War, carried with it ex officio the Constableship of Dover Castle. In the case of de Burgh however, a rather long period seems to have elapsed between the two appointments.
The remains of De Burgh's Hadleigh Castle near Southend in Essex

Sometime after 1215, De Burgh started building a castle in Hadleigh having been rewarded the land by King John. The licence to crenellate was retrospectively given in 1230, at which point that original castle had been completed. After falling out with King Henry III, De Burgh was stripped of Hadleigh Castle. The castle went claimed by the monarchy and stayed in royal hands until being sold off in 1551. Much of the stonework was dismantled and sold off. What remained of the ruin later suffered from several landslips. The remains of the castle are owned by English Heritage and can be visited.

Hubert was initially betrothed to Joan de Redvers, a daughter of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon (died 1217), but the marriage never took place and she went on to marry William II Brewer (d.1232), eldest surviving son and heir of William Brewer (died 1226) a prominent administrator and judge in England during the reigns of Kings Richard I, his brother King John, and the latter's son Henry III.

De Burgh married thrice:
Firstly to Beatrice de Warrenne, daughter of William de Warrenne, with sons Sir John, whose descendant Margaret married Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, and Sir Hubert, ancestor of Thomas Burgh of Gainsborough.
Secondly in September 1217 to Isabella, Countess of Gloucester, daughter and heiress of William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester.
Thirdly to Princess Margaret, sister of King Alexander II of Scotland; their daughter Margaret married Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester.

Hubert de Burgh died in 1243 in Banstead in Surrey,[11] and was buried in the Church of the Friars Preachers (commonly called Black Friars) in Holborn, London."

From Wikipedia:
Isabella I of Jerusalem
“Isabella I (1172 – 5 April 1205) was reigning Queen of Jerusalem from 1190 to her death. She was the daughter of Amalric I of Jerusalem and his second wife Maria Comnena, a Byzantine princess. Her half-brother, Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, engaged her to Humphrey IV of Toron. Her mother's second husband, Balian of Ibelin, and his stepfather, Raynald of Châtillon, were influential members of the two baronial parties. The marriage of Isabella and Humphrey was celebrated in Kerak Castle in autumn 1183. Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria, laid siege to the fortress during the wedding, but Baldwin IV forced him to lift the siege.

Baldwin IV, who suffered from lepromatous leprosy, had made his nephew (the only son of his sister, Sibylla by her first husband), Baldwin V, his heir and co-ruler, to prevent Sibylla's second husband, Guy of Lusignan, from mounting the throne. The High Court of Jerusalem stipulated that a committee of Western European rulers was entitled to choose between Sibylla and Isabella to succeed Baldwin V if he died before reaching the age of majority, but Sibylla and Guy of Lusignan were crowned soon after Baldwin V died in 1185. Guy's opponents tried to play Isabella and her husband off against him, but Humphrey did homage to the royal couple.

Early life
Childhood
Isabella was the daughter of Amalric, King of Jerusalem, by his second wife, Maria Comnena. Maria Comnena (who was a grandniece of the Byzantine Emperor, Manuel I Komnenos) married Amalric on 29 August 1167. Isabella was born before September 1172.

Amalric died unexpectedly on 11 July 1174. His son by his first marriage, Baldwin IV, was crowned king two weeks later. Before long, it became obvious that Baldwin suffered from lepromatous leprosy. To secure the succession of the ailing king, his sister, Sibylla, was given in marriage to William of Montferrat in November 1176, but he died seven months later. Baldwin's cousin, Philip I, Count of Flanders, who landed at Acre in August, offered Robert of Bethune for Sibylla's new husband, also proposing that Isabella (who was Baldwin's and Sibylla's half-sister) should marry Robert's younger brother, William of Bethune. The High Court of Jerusalem refused both proposals.

Isabella's mother married Balian of Ibelin in autumn 1177. His brother, Baldwin of Ibelin, wanted to marry Sibylla, but the king preferred another candidate, Guy of Lusignan. After the marriage of Sibylla and Guy on Easter 1180, a division emerged between Guy of Lusignan's supporters and opponents. The first group included the mother of Baldwin IV and Sibylla, Agnes of Courtenay, her brother, Joscelin, and Raynald of Châtillon, Lord of Oultrejordain. Their opponents included Isabella's mother and stepfather, and Raymond III of Tripoli. To secure Guy's position, the king arranged the betrothal of Isabella to Raynald of Châtillon's stepson, Humphrey IV of Toron in October 1180. Isabella was sent to Kerak Castle to be educated by Humphrey's mother, Stephanie of Milly. Stephanie forbade her to pay visits to her mother and stepfather at Nablus.

The relationship between Baldwin IV and Guy of Lusignan deteriorated. Baldwin IV removed Guy from the regency and denied his right of succession, making Guy's stepson (Sibylla's son from her first marriage), Baldwin V, his heir and co-ruler on 20 November 1183. A version of Ernoul's chronicle suggests that the child Baldwin V was made heir, because the ailing Baldwin IV wanted to avoid a debate between his sisters' supporters about his succession. Guy's principal supporters, Joscelin of Courtenay and Raynald of Châtillon, were not present at Baldwin V's coronation, because they attended the wedding of Isabella and Humphrey of Toron.

First marriage
The wedding took place in Kerak Castle. Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria laid siege to the fortress. According to Ernoul's chronicle, Stephanie of Milly sent meals to the besiegers from the feast and Saladin forbade his engineers to destroy the tower of the fortress in which Humphrey and Isabella spent the wedding night. Baldwin IV assembled a relief army and departed from Jerusalem to Kerak, although he was unable to ride a horse. Saladin lifted the siege and retreated without fight on 3 or 4 December.

[Stephanie of Milly] sent to Saladin bread and wine, sheep and cattle in celebration of her son's wedding... . And when Saladin received these gifts he was exceedingly delighted and gave thanks to those who brought them to him, asking where the bride and bridegroom were staying: their tower was pointed out to him. Thereupon Saladin gave out orders throughout his army that no attack should be directed at this tower.

The dying Baldwin IV appointed Raymond of Tripoli regent for Baldwin V in April 1185. On Raymond's demand, the High Court of Jerusalem ruled that a committee consisting of the pope, the Holy Roman Emperor and the kings of France and England would be entitled to choose between Sibylla and Isabella if Baldwin V died before reaching the age of majority. Baldwin IV died on 16 March 1185. About a year and a half later (before mid-September 1186) the child Baldwin V also died.

Sibylla's uncle Joscelin of Courtenay persuaded Raymond III of Tripoli and his allies to leave Jerusalem, and urged her supporters (including Raynald of Châtillon) to assemble in the town. Ignoring the 1185 ruling of the High Court, the noblemen and prelates who came to Jerusalem concluded that Sibylla was the lawful heir to her son. Those who were opposed to Sibylla (including Raymond III of Tripoli and Balian of Ibelin) assembled in Nablus. They argued that Sibylla's legitimacy was dubious, because her parents' marriage had been annulled. They also emphasized that Isabella was born after the coronation of her father.[36] They sent envoys to Jerusalem to protest against Sibylla's coronation, but Heraclius, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, crowned her in mid-September. Heraclius also anointed Guy of Lusignan king after she placed a crown on Guy's head.

On Raymond of Tripoli's proposal, the noblemen who assembled in Nablus decided that they proclaim Isabella and Humphrey of Toron queen and king. However, Humphrey (whose mother and stepfather were Sibylla's supporters) fled from Nablus to Jerusalem and did homage to Sibylla and Guy. Before long, all barons followed his example and swore fealty to the queen and her husband, with the exception of Raymond of Tripoli who left the kingdom.

Saladin imposed a crushing defeat on the united army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the Battle of Hattin on 4 July 1187. Isabella's husband was captured on the battlefield. Before long, Saladin's troops seized most towns and fortresses of the Kingdom of Jerusalem: Tiberias fell soon after the battle, Acre on 9 July, Beirut before 6 August, and Jerusalem on 2 October. Tyre was an exception, holding out for months under the command of Conrad of Montferrat who had come to the Holy Land from Italy a few weeks after the battle.

Conrad regarded himself the ruler of Tyre, forbidding Guy of Lusignan to enter the town in summer 1189. Guy laid siege to Acre, but James of Avesnes, Louis III of Thuringia and other crusader commanders who came to the Holy Land also questioned his claim to leadership. Guy's wife, Sibylla, and their two daughters died in autumn 1190. Guy's opponents argued that he had only been king by marriage, and his wife's half-sister, Isabella, inherited the crown. Guy did not want to abandon his claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Taking advantage of the situation, Conrad of Montferrat decided to marry Isabella.

Isabella's stepfather supported Conrad's plan. Isabella resisted, but her mother put her under pressure. Maria Komnena also swore that Baldwin IV had forced the eight-year-old Isabella to marry Humphrey of Toron, whose effeminacy was well known. Before long, the papal legate, Ubaldo Lanfranchi, Archbishop of Pisa, and Philip of Dreux, Bishop of Beauvais, annulled the marriage of Isabella and Humphrey. Baldwin of Forde, Archbishop of Canterbury, forbade her to marry Conrad, stating that both Isabella and Conrad would commit adultery if they married. However, Baldwin of Forde died on 19 November 1190.

Second marriage
Conrad married Isabella on 24 November. Isabella returned to Humphrey the Lordship of Toron that Baldwin IV had annexed to the crown in 1180. Guy of Lusignan refused to abdicate, but most barons regarded him as the lawful monarch. Conrad and Isabella returned to Tyre. After Philip II of France, who landed at Acre on 20 April 1191, acknowledged Conrad's claim to Jerusalem, Guy of Lusignan and Conrad's opponents (including Humphrey of Toron and Bohemond III of Antioch) sought assistance from Richard I of England, who decided to support them. Guy adopted the title of "king-elect of Jerusalem" in May.

The crusaders captured Acre on 11 July 1191. On 28 July, Richard and Philip agreed that Guy could retain the title of king till the end of his life, but Conrad would rule Tyre, Beirut and Sidon; after Guy's death, the kingdom would be united under the rule of Conrad and Isabella or their issue. Three days later, Philip left for France and Richard became the sole supreme commander of the crusaders. The native barons remained hostile towards Guy.[62] After Richard decided to return to England in April 1192, the barons urged him to revise the previous decision about the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Reign
Election
Richard held an assembly on 16 April 1192. The prelates and the noblemen who attended the meeting unanimously voted for Conrad. Richard accepted their decision, granting Cyprus to Guy in compensation for his lost kingdom. Richard dispatched his nephew Count Henry II of Champagne to inform Conrad about the barons' decision. Henry arrived at Tyre about four days later.[ It was agreed that Conrad and Isabella would be crowned at Acre.

Isabella, who loved lingering in her bath, spent unusually much time there on 28 April. Being hungry, Conrad decided to have a dinner with Philip of Dreux, but by the time he arrived at Philip's house, the bishop had already finished his meal. Conrad wanted to return home, but two men ambushed and stabbed him in a narrow street. Most sources agree that they were sent by Rashid ad-Din Sinan, head of the Assassins. While dying, Conrad ordered Isabella not to give Tyre to anyone but Richard or to the new king of Jerusalem. When Duke Hugh III of Burgundy, the French king's lieutenant in the Holy Land, urged Isabella to deliver Tyre to him, she shut herself up in the fortress and refused to open its gates.

Third marriage
On learning of Conrad's assassination, Henry of Champagne, who had meanwhile returned to Acre, hurried back to Tyre. Henry, who was the nephew of both Richard of England and Philip of France, was acclaimed king by the barons and the citizens of Tyre. According to Ernoul, Henry was hesitant, because Isabella was pregnant, possibly with a son. The barons and the citizens, continued Ernoul, promised him that his children would inherit the Kingdom of Jerusalem to convince him to accept the crown. The betrothal of Henry and Isabella was announced two days after Conrad's death. The marriage was celebrated in Acre on 10 May 1192.

Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani, who was present for the wedding, wrote:

Henry of Champagne married the Marquis' wife on the same night, maintaining that he had first right to the dead man's wife. She was pregnant, but this did not prevent himself uniting himself with her, something even more disgusting than the coupling of the flesh. I asked one of their courtiers to whom paternity would be awarded and he said: "It will be the Queen's child." You see the licentiousness of these foul Unbelievers!

Isabella and Conrad's child, Maria of Montferrat, was born in 1192. Henry and Isabella then had three daughters, Margaret (born 1193/1194), Alice (born 1196)[72] and Philippa (born 1197). Henry died in 1197 when a balcony or window-trellis gave way and he fell out of a window.

Fourth marriage
After his death, Isabella married for a fourth time to Aimery of Cyprus, brother of Guy of Lusignan. They were crowned together as King and Queen of Jerusalem in January 1198 in Acre. They had two daughters, Sibylla (born 1198) and Melisende (born 1200), and one son, Amalric (born 1201). King Aimery died in 1205 of food poisoning caused by white mullet, four days before his wife, and shortly after their son. On her death on 5 April 1205, Isabella was succeeded as queen by her eldest daughter Maria.

The legality of Isabella's divorce from Humphrey was challenged in 1213, during the dispute over the succession to Champagne between her daughters Alice and Philippa and Henry's nephew Theobald IV. However, its validity seems to have been upheld: no challenge was made to the legitimacy of Maria and her descendants to succeed to the throne of Jerusalem, and in Champagne, Theobald bought off his cousins Alice and Philippa.

Family
Isabella's first marriage to Humphrey IV of Toron was childless.

From her second marriage to Conrad of Montferrat she had one daughter:
-Maria (1192–1212), succeeded Isabella as Queen of Jerusalem.

From her third marriage to Henry II, Count of Champagne she had three daughters:
-Marguerite (1193/1194 – before 1205) betrothed to Guy of Cyprus but they both died as children.
-Alice (1195/1196–1246), firstly married Hugh I of Cyprus, secondly she married Bohemond V of Antioch and thirdly married Raoul de Soissons. She was a rival claimant of Champagne.
-Philippa (c. 1197 - 20 December 1250), married Erard de Brienne-Ramerupt and was also a claimant of Champagne.

From her fourth and final marriage to Aimery of Cyprus she had the following children:
-Sibylle (October–November 1198 – c. 1230 or 1252), married King Leo I of Armenia
-Mélisende (c. 1200 – aft. 1249), married 1 January, 1218 Bohemund IV of Antioch
Amalric (1201 – 2 February, 1205, Acre)”

MISSOULA – Maurice Lee "Morrie" Richardson passed away Friday, July 8, 2016, from complications due to Alzheimer’s disease. Born Aug. 7, 1934, to Maurice and Ruth Boyer Richardson, in Missoula, Morrie loved the freedom of growing up in the rural area of Orchard Homes. He attended Hawthorne School and graduated from Missoula County High School in 1954.

Morrie had many stories working as a fire lookout for the Forest Service, and was very pleased to see that his lookout station is now located at Fort Missoula. He also served in the U.S. Air Force, what he described as some of the best times of his life, starting his enlistment in Louisiana and then being stationed in England.

After discharge from the Air Force, Morrie worked as a carpenter for Jim Roather and other fine contractors of that time. A number of homes built in Missoula were at the skilled hands of Morrie.

In March of 1965 Morrie married the love of his life, Carolynn Ruhle-Ransom, and that deep love never faltered. He quickly adopted her two small daughters, Julie Ann and Janiel Arlene. Within a year they were blessed with another daughter, Kim Lee, and their family was complete. They would be happily married for 51 years.

In 1970 Morrie and Carolynn bought Orchard Homes Grocery from his parents, and enjoyed running the store until 1976 when they moved to Huson and bought the Huson Mercantile. During this time, Morrie also started working for the Frenchtown school system as a custodian, and never had he enjoyed a job more, which lasted until his retirement in 2001. These years of hard work at the stores and at Frenchtown High School produced some of the most endearing memories and finest friends Morrie had ever known. Morrie and Carolynn even took in some students struggling to graduate or having personal problems, encouraging them until then completed school. Morrie was respected by his community, friends and co-workers to the point of complete trust by all that knew him. Such high regard was placed on him that any time his name was brought up a smile, many kind words and often great stories would come forth from all.

Morrie was proud of his work, always giving his very best, and was a quiet, soft-spoken person full of love, who rarely got angry. He was full of compassion for humans and animals alike, with deer, elk, bear, turkeys and other animals knowing his six-mile property was a safe sanctuary.

Morrie stayed connected to his Missoula County High School classmates through reunions and other get-togethers, and was delighted to see Carolynn’s organizing and baking, around the reunions.

The greatest joy of Morrie’s life was his family and extended family, and he took great pride in Carolynn and her talents, his daughters and son-in-law’s, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all of their many accomplishments. He was known for saying, "We have good people in our family." Some of the happiest times for Morrie was when he was camping on Holland Lake with his family: fishing, picking huckleberries, hiking up to the falls, making a fire and telling stories with the crackle of flames, playing board games and just being with the ones who unconditionally loved him.

Morrie is survived by his wife, Carolynn; his daughters, Julie Meidinger (Scott), Janiel Sanchelli (Robert) and Kim Richardson (Tommy Petersen); and his sister, JoAnn Lowell. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, Renee’ Schull (Jason), Heather Teegarden (Ross Reynolds), Preston Teegarden (LaShawn), Sarah Beatty (Andrew), Anthony Sanchelli (Melissa), Vincent Sanchelli (Stephanie), Shawna Daniels (Michael), Christopher Meidinger Jenkins (Clayton) and Olivia Richardson. Morrie was blessed to have 13 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in his heart.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Maurice L. Richardson and Ruth Boyer Richardson, and his brother, Donald James Richardson.

The family wishes to thank the nurses and staff at St. Pat’s Hospital, who took such excellent care of Morrie; Bill and Dorothy Wittig, who watched over and cared for his home on the Six Mile; Jeanette Block and Eveline Frame, who gave comfort and encouragement to Carolynn during the difficult times; and lastly to neighbors, friends and even acquaintances in the community who kept an eye out for Morrie on his daily walks or when he was just sitting in his yard enjoying the day. Alzheimer’s took Morrie’s mind slowly, and painfully, but it didn’t take away his joy of a sun-filled day and a smile from a loved one.

A celebration of Morrie’s life will be held on his birthday, Sunday, Aug. 7, at Franklin Park from 1 to 5 p.m.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family would suggest memorial donations in Morrie’s name may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association, ALZ.org or to AniMeals of Missoula, animeals.com.

Condolences may be shared with the family by visiting gardencityfh.com."

WŁADYSŁAW of Poland, son of BOLESŁAW III "Krzywousty/Wrymouth" Prince of Poland & his first wife Zbislava Sviatopolkovna of Kiev (1105-30 May 1159). The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum names (in order) the five sons of Bolesław III "Vladislaum, Boleslaum, Mesiconem, Kazimirum, Henricum", specifying that Władysław succeeded in Silesia[18]. The Annales Capituli Cracoviensis record the birth in 1105 of "Vladizlaus secundus"[19]. The Chronica principum Polonie records that the mother of "Boleslaus suo primogenito Wladislao filio" was "ex quadam Ruthena nobili"[20]. He succeeded in 1138 as WŁADYSŁAW II "Wygnaniec/the Exile" Prince of Krakow and Silesia. He was expelled by his brother Bolesław IV: the Annales Capituli Cracoviensis record that in 1146 "Wladizlaus fugit et Cracovia devastatur"[21]. In 1146, Konrad III King of Germany (whose half-sister was Władysław's wife) unsuccessfully tried to reinstate him[22]. After Bolesław IV refused tribute to Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany, the latter invaded Poland in Aug 1157, forced Bolesław and his other brothers to submit, and compelled them to accept arbitration with their brother Władysław[23]. [The Annales Cracovienses Compilati record the death in 1148 "Wladyzlaus"[24]. This person has not been identified. The entry could indicate the exiled Duke Władysław II, the date being mistaken, but his own death is recorded in the same source in 1159.] The Annales Capituli Cracoviensis record the death in 1159 of "Wladizlaus dux Polonie"[25] and the Annales Cracovienses Compilati the death in 1159 of "Wladyslaus in exilio"[26]. The Epytaphia ducum Slezie record the death "4 Non Iun" of "dux Wladizlaus Cracovie, Gnezdne, Syrazye, Kalisie et Slezie, pater fundatoris Bolezlai"[27].

m ([1120/25]) AGNES of Austria, daughter of LEOPOLD III "der Heilige" Markgraf of Austria [Babenberg] & his second wife Agnes of Germany [Staufen] ([1108/1113]-Altenburg/Thür 24/25 Jan [1160/63], bur Kloster Pforte an der Saale). The information concerning the wife of Duke Władysław II is contradictory. The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Agnes" as second daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "Poleslaus dux de Polan"[28], although there appears to be no "Bolesław" at the time to whom this could refer. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agnetam" as "Leopoldis marchio et Henricus…sororem germanam" and wife of "dux Vergescelaus de Polonia"[29]. Her origin is further confirmed by a charter dated Jan 1150 in which Cardinal-deacon Guido informs Konrad III King of Germany of the steps he took against "ducis Poloniæ et coniugis eius sororis vestræ…ducis W"[30]. On the other hand, according to the Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum, the wife of Duke Władysław was Christina, daughter of Emperor Heinrich IV (stating in one passage that "Heinricum quintum" was "fratrem uxoris [=Wladislai]" and in a later passage that she was "filia imperatoris Henrici quarti…Cristine domine")[31]. The Chronica principum Polonie also states that "Boleslaus suo primogenito Wladislao filio" married "filiam imperatoris Cristinam"[32]. The Epytaphia ducum Slezie provides a third possibility, naming her "Adilheidis uxor eius filia imperatoris Heinrici IV" (the entry follows that recording the death of Duke Władysław, to whom "eius" presumably refers) when recording her death "VIII Kal Sep"[33]. The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum specifies that "filia imperatoris Henrici quarti…Cristine domine", mother of "Boleslam, Mesicone, Conrado Loripade", was "in Porta sepulta"[34]. It is chronologically implausible for the wife of Duke Władysław to have been the daughter of Emperor Heinrich IV, the births of whose known children are recorded between 1070 and 1086, assuming that the estimated birth dates of the couple's children are in the range [1127] to [1146] as shown below. The explanation is presumably confusion with the mother-in-law of Duke Władysław who was one of the emperor's daughters. Concerning her first name, the records of Kloster Neuburg make no known errors in recording the names of the numerous children of Leopold III Markgraf of Austria, although it is true that (as noted above) the name "Boleslas" is in error for "Wladislas". Onomastics help little in finding a solution, as both "Agnes" and "Adelheid" were names given to her descendants. The further complicating factor is the curious story concerning her grandson Jaroslav and his reported hatred of his stepmother "Adelheid" (see below), while elsewhere the second wife of Jaroslaw's father Bolesław is named Christina. The issue appears to be resolved by two necrology entries: the necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VIII Kal Feb" of "Agnes ducissa Polonie filia marchionis"[35], and the necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "VI Kal Oct" of "Agnes ux Wlaslai ducis Zlezorum filia fundatoris S Crucis"[36].

Władysław II & his wife had four children:

1. BOLESLAW ([1127]-8 Dec 1201, bur Kloster Pforte an der Saale or Leubus). The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum names (in order) the three sons of Władysław II "Boleslam, Mesicone, Conrado Loripade"[37]. He was invested in 1163 as BOLESLAW I Duke of Breslau.

- DUKES of BRESLAU.

2. RYKSA ([1130/40]-16 Jun [1185]). The primary source which confirms her parentage and her three marriages has not so far been identified. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Berengariam atque Richam" as the wives of "Aldefonsi Hispaniarum Regis"[38]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Rikissam" as the only daughter of "dux Vergescelaus de Polonia" & his wife Agnes, specifying that "primo fuit regina Suecie", that by her second husband "regi Russie nomine Musuch" she was mother of "Sophiam reginam Dacie et Rikissam", the latter marrying "imperatoris Castelle Alfunso"[39], which contradicts other sources in many aspects. She was known as RIQUILDA in Spain[40]. m firstly ([Oct/Dec] 1152) as his second wife, ALFONSO VII “el Emperador” King of Castile and Leon, son of RAYMOND de Bourgogne [Comté] & his wife doña Urraca Queen of Castile and León ([Grajal], Galicia 1 Mar 1105-Fresneda 21 Aug 1157, bur Toledo, Cathedral Santa María). m secondly (after 1162) RAYMOND BERENGER II Comte de Provence, son of BERENGER RAYMOND I Comte de Provence & his wife Beatrix Ctss de Melgueil ([1140]-murdered Nice 1166). m thirdly (after 1166) ALBERT [III] Graf von Everstein, son of ALBERT [II] Graf von Everstein & his wife ---. 1162/1197.

3. MIESKO ([1132/46]-16 May 1211). The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum names (in order) the three sons of Władysław II "Boleslam, Mesicone, Conrado Loripade"[41]. He was invested in 1163 as MIESKO I Duke of Ratibor and Teschen.

- DUKES of OPPELN.

4. KONRAD ([1146/57]-17 Jan [1180/90]). The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum names (in order) the three sons of Władysław II "Boleslam, Mesicone, Conrado Loripade"[42]. The Epytaphia ducum Slezie record the death "16 Kal Feb" of "domicellus Conradus dux Glogowie filius eius [=Wladislai] frater fundatoris"[43], the use of the descriptive "domicellus" suggesting he was a young adult when he died.

3rd husband to Lucy.

From Foundation for Medieval Genealogy:
“RANULF du Bessin "le Meschin", son of RANULF Vicomte du Bessin [Bayeux] & his wife Marguerite [Maud] d'Avranches (-17 or 27 Jan 1129, bur Chester, Abbey of St Werburgh). Orderic Vitalis names him and his mother. He was awarded the lordship of Carlisle by Henry I King of England. He succeeded his father as Vicomte du Bessin [Bayeux]. “R de Meschin, Richerio vicecomiti Karleoli” donated property to Wetherall priory, Cumberland, for the soul of “…Richard fratris mei…et uxoris meæ LuLuciæ…”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Osberto vicecomite, Walteof filio Cospatricii comitis, Forno Sigulfi filio, Chetello Ectredi filio…”. “Ranulfus Meschines” donated property to Wetherall priory, Cumberland, by undated charter, witnessesed by “uxore mea Lucia, Willielmo fratre meo…”. He was appointed Vicomte d'Avranches in 1120 after the death of his first cousin Richard d'Avranches, and also obtained the grant of the county palatine of Chester thereby becoming Earl of Chester (upon which he surrendered the lordship of Carlisle). He was commander of the royal forces in Normandy in 1124. A manuscript narrating the descent of Hugh Earl of Chester to Alice Ctss of Lincoln records the death “VI Kal Feb” of “Ranulfus de Meschines” and his burial at St Werburgh´s, Chester.
m ([1098]) as her third husband, LUCY, widow firstly of IVES Taillebois Lord of Kendal and secondly of ROGER FitzGerold, daughter of --- & his wife [--- Malet] (-1138). Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that William I King of England arranged the marriage of "Ivo Taillebois" and "Lucia sister of Edwin and Morcar", her dowry consisting of their land at Hoyland, but this parentage appears impossible from a chronological point of view. Peter of Blois's Continuation of the Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the death of Ivo and his burial at the priory of Spalding, and the remarriage of his widow "hardly had one month elapsed after his death" with "Roger de Romar the son Gerald de Romar". She is nammed as wife of Ranulf by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her first husband, but does not state her origin. According to a charter of Henri Duke of Normandy (later Henry II King of England) issued in favour of her son Ranulf Earl of Chester dated 1153, Ctss Lucy was the niece of Robert Malet of Eye and of Alan of Lincoln, as well as kinswoman of Thorold "the Sheriff".
Earl Ranulf & his wife had four [SIC: more likely only three] children:
1. RANULF "de Gernon" (Château de Gernon, Normandy before 1100-[murdered] 16 Dec 1153, bur Chester, Abbey of St Werburgh). His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[52]. He succeeded his father in [1129] as Earl of Chester, Vicomte d'Avranches.
2. WILLIAM FitzRanulf Meschin (-[1130/35][53]). [SIC: this individual is most likely not a son of Ranulf, 3rd Earl of Chester.
3. AGNES ([1098/1105][74]-bur Saint-Evroul). "Agnes" is named as first wife of Robert de Grantmesnil by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her father. m as his first wife, ROBERT de Grantmesnil, son of HUGUES de Grantmesnil & his wife Adelisa [Aelis] de Beaumont-sur-Oise (-1 Jun [1136], bur Saint-Evroul).
4. ALICE . Guillaume de Jumièges records that Richard married "la sœur de Ranulfe le jeune comte de Chester". The History of Gloucester St Peter records the confirmation by "Ranulphus comes Cestriæ" of the donation of "molendinum de Taddewelle" by "Alicia soror eius" for the soul of "Ricardi filii Gilberti viri sui" (undated). “Rics filius Gilebi” donated lands in Hawkedon, Suffolk to the abbey of St Edmunds, with the consent of “Rogs…filius me…et coiux mea Xpiana”, by undated charter. This charter is attributed to Richard FitzGilbert in Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica and dated to 1154, which must be incorrect in view of Richard´s recorded death in 1136. The reference to his wife´s name as Christiana cannot be explained. It does not appear that Richard married twice, assuming that the sources quoted here are accurate. The extract from the History of Gloucester St Peter suggests that his wife “Alice of Chester” survived her husband, while the St Edmununds charter shows that “Christiana” was alive after Richard´s son Roger was old enough to consent to the donation. She was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. m [firstly] RICHARD FitzGilbert de Clare, son of GILBERT FitzRichard Lord of Clare & his wife Adelais de Roucy (-killed in battle near Abergavenny 15 Apr 1136, bur Gloucester). Maybe m secondly ROGER de Condé [Cundet], son of --- (-10 Oct [1139/45]).
Earl Ranulf had [one possibly illegitimate daughter] by an unknown mistress:
5. [daughter .] m --- Bacon du Molay. One child:
a) RICHARD Bacon (-[after 1142/43]). “Ric. Bacun” founded Rocester Priory, for the soul of “Ranulphi comitis Cestriæ avunculi mei”, by undated charter witnessed by “Hugone Eac…”.”

From "The Mortimer Family of Wigmore: An outline lineage" by Ian Mortimer, Version 3.0, 16 June 2016:

From “History & Lives of the British Royals”:
“On a Day Like Today ~ December 27, 1388. Anne de Mortimer, a 2x great granddaughter of HM King Edward III, was born.
Anne was born on this day in 1388 as the eldest of the four children of Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March and his wife Eleanor Holland. Anne's father was a descendant of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, second surviving son of King Edward III of England, an ancestry which made Mortimer a potential heir to the throne during the reign of the childless King Richard II.
Upon the death of her father in 1398 the claim to the throne passed to Anne's brother but in 1399 HM King Richard II was deposed by HM King Henry IV thus her brothers were viewed as a dynastic threat to the new King Henry IV. Thus both her brothers were placed under royal custody. Anne and her sister, Eleanor, remained in the care of their mother. Her mother died in 1405 leaving her "destitute".
Sometime after January 1408 Anne married her first cousin-twice-removed, Richard of Conisburgh. The marriage produced 3 children, with at least 2 children surviving to adulthood.
Anne died following the birth of her 3rd child in September 1411. It is believed she is buried at Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, once the site of Kings Langley Palace, perhaps in the conventual church that houses the tombs of her husband's parents Edmund of Langley and Isabella of Castile.

From Wikipedia:
Anne de Mortimer
“Anne de Mortimer, also known as Anne Mortimer (27 December 1388 – c. 22 September 1411), was a medieval English noblewoman who became an ancestor to the royal House of York, one of the parties in the fifteenth-century dynastic Wars of the Roses. It was her line of descent which gave the Yorkist dynasty its claim to the throne. Anne was the mother of Richard, Duke of York, and thus grandmother of kings Edward IV and Richard III.

Early life
Born on 27 December 1388, Anne Mortimer was the eldest of the four children of Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March (1374–1398), and Eleanor Holland (1370–1405). She had two brothers, Edmund, 5th Earl of March (1391–1425), and Roger (1393–1413?), as well as a sister, Eleanor.

Anne's father was a grandson of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, second surviving son of King Edward III of England, an ancestry which made Mortimer a potential heir to the throne during the reign of the childless King Richard II. Upon Roger Mortimer's death in 1398, this claim passed to his son and heir, Anne's brother Edmund, Earl of March.[4] In 1399, Richard II was deposed by Henry IV, of the House of Lancaster, making Edmund Mortimer a dynastic threat to the new king, who in turn placed both Edmund and his brother Roger under royal custody.

Anne and her sister Eleanor remained in the care of their mother, Countess Eleanor, who, not long after her first husband's death, married Lord Edward Charleton of Powys.[4] Following their mother's death in 1405, the sisters fared less well than their brothers and were described as "destitute", needing £100 per annum for themselves and their servants.[5]

Marriage and issue
Around early 1408 (probably after 8 January), Anne married Richard of Conisburgh (1385–1415), the second son of Edmund, Duke of York (fourth son of King Edward III). The marriage was undertaken secretly and probably with haste, without the knowledge of her nearest relatives, and was validated on 23 May 1408 by papal dispensation.

Anne Mortimer and Richard of Conisburgh had two sons and a daughter:
-Isabel of York (1409 – 2 October 1484), who in 1412, at three years of age, was betrothed to Sir Thomas Grey, son and heir of Sir Thomas Grey of Heaton (1384–1415), by whom she had one son. Isabel married secondly, before 25 April 1426 (the marriage being later validated by papal dispensation), Henry Bourchier, 1st Earl of Essex, by whom she had issue.
-Henry of York
-Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York (22 September 1411 – 30 December 1460), Yorkist claimant to the English throne, and father of kings Edward IV and Richard III

Anne Mortimer died soon after the birth of her son Richard on 22 September 1411. She was buried at Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, once the site of Kings Langley Palace, which also housed the tombs of her husband's parents Edmund of Langley and Isabella of Castile. After the dissolution of the monasteries, all three were reburied at the Church of All Saints', Kings Langley.”

He took part in King John’s expedition to Poitou in 1214. He joined the baronial host at Stamford in 1215, and entertained them at Bedford as they marched on London. He was among the baronial leaders excommunicated by name in Dec. 1215. He was taken prisoner at Lincoln by the royal forces in May 1217, but made his peace before the end of the year. In 1244-5 he was with the army in Wales. SIR WILLIAM DE BEAUCHAMP died shortly after 28 Dec 1260. Claiming to take her dower at her choice, his widow, Ida, raided the manor of Little Crawley, co.

The Chronicon Conimbricensi records the birth “mense Februario…in die Ascensionis Domini” (presumably an error) in 1171 of “Rex Alfonsus filius Regis Fernandi et Dñæ Orace Reginæ”. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aldefonsus rex Legionis" as son of "Fernando [frater regis Sanctii]". He succeeded his father in 1188 as don ALFONSO IX King of León and Galicia. He held the first documented Cortes in León in 1188, attended by duly elected representatives of towns as well as nobles and ecclesiasts. The Pope excommunicated him because of his first marriage, between cousins without papal dispensation, and placed León under an interdict until Alfonso agreed to a separation. Another dispute broke out with the church after he married his second wife, also his first cousin, from whom he was also obliged to separate. He succeeded in 1217 as don ALFONSO IX King of Castile, by right of his second wife and son. He successfully campaigned against the Moors, capturing Lazeres, Merida, Elvas, Badajoz and several towns in Extremadura in 1228. The Anales Toledanos record the death in 1230 “en Villanneva de Saria” of “el Rey Don Alfonso de Leon, Padre del Rey D. Fernando”.

The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes records the marriage of "Tarasiam", other daughter of "Rex…Sancius", and "Aldefonso Regi Legionensi", specifying that the union was incestuous. Nun at Lorvano 1200. Co-founder of the Dominican convent at Coimbra. Beatified 23 Dec 1705 by Pope Clement XI.
m secondly (Valladolid Dec, before 17, 1197, separated 1204 before 19 Jun) as her second husband, his first cousin, Infanta doña BERENGUELA de Castilla, daughter of don ALFONSO VIII King of Castile & his wife Eleanor of England (Jan/Jun 1180-Las Huelgas 8 Nov 1246). The Chronicon de Cardeña records that “Rey D. Alfonso de Leon” married “D. Alfonso…so fija Doña Berenguela”. The Crónica Latina records that “doña Berenguela, hija del rey de Castilla” was married to “el rey de León”, when peace was established being Castile and León following the defeat at the battle of Alarcos, despite being related in the 2nd degree of consanguinity. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Henricum qui iuvenis obiit et quinque sorores, prima Berengaria…secunda Urraca, tertia regina Francie, quarta Alienor, quinta Constantia monialis" as children of "sorore regis Anglie Richardi…Alienor…soror ex alio patre comitisse Marie Campaniensis", specifying that Berengaria was wife of "regi Legionensi id est regi Galicie…Alfunsus" and mother of "Fernandum successorem regis parvi in Castella et Toledo" and recording their marriage was initially permitted by Pope Innocent III despite consanguinity but subsequently prohibited, after which Berengaria became a Cistercian nun at Burgos. Her second marriage, arranged by her father as part of the peace process with León, caused religious fury because of the close relationship of the parties. Pope Innocent III excommumunicated the couple, placed Castile and León under an interdict, and eventually annulled the marriage though agreed that their Children remained legitimate. Infanta Berenguela became a nun at Las Huelgas 1204, after separating from her husband. Regent for her brother Enrique I 1214, she became heiress in her own right to Castile, Toledo and Extremadura on his death but immediately ceded her rights to her son Infante don Fernando. She retired from public life in 1230, after transferring full power to her son. The Chronicon de Cardeña records the death in 1240 of “la Reyna Doña Berenguela, madre del Rey D. Fernando”.

29 "Came with parents to South Dakota in 1884.

"When I went through my father's papers when he passed away, I found the bill for wiring that house at 1201 for electricity. At that time they wired only for electrical lights. $35.00 for wiring that house. There were two switches at 1201 to begin with. One at the door by the stairs that turned the dining room light on and one by the front door when you came into the living room. All of the rest of the lights were pullchain.

"My father had these horses a driving team and a surrey and he was as proud of this surrey and driving team as we would be of our cars. He had all this stuff, harnesses, and elaborate trim.

"In his later years he used to go down to the store and shoot the bull with all these farmers that would come in. It was a country store. In Hank's hardware store he used to carry fenceposts and fencing things. Hank and Danny were the mainstays working there. Finally one day, Hank said to Grandpa Lowell, why don't you go to work for me? Hank wanted to have someone sit inside the store to protect for theft. He was like a security guard. He didn't sell anything. He just sat around there and when everybody was out kept watch over things.

"The first time we went up to northern Minnesota, my dad couldn't get over how small the pine trees were. My dad was born in Wisconsin and worked in the lumber mills until he was fifteen, when he came out here. He told me about the big saw they had there and he was cleaning up and he stood up and the saw cut off his straw hat. He threw it in the river and never went home with it."

"At that time, if you farmed a quarter section (160 acres) that was average. A lot of them had only 80 acres. If you farmed a half a section, you were a big farmer. Well, you see, Grandpa Lowell and my dad farmed Cliff's, which is a quarter section, they farmed Jack's, which is another one, they farmed Flora's which is another one, they farmed ours, which is another one, and then they rented land over there east of them, so they were really really big farmers and they farmed this all with horses. "

"My dad was 31 years old when he was married and that was about par for the course. [regarding marriage age].

After he moved to town, on what is now our farm he kept the hay ground. He and Aunt Minnie's hired hand used to put up hay together and then in the winter months he would haul hay from the country to Sioux Falls. He'd go out in the country one day and the next day take it to the hay market in Sioux Falls and sell it.

John R. Lowell and Freda Volsch were married at the West Wall Lake Lutheran Church. They were married at the same time as Freda’s sister, Anna.

From notes by GRL during an August ____ visit to Sioux Falls: Max Miller's family lived about 5 miles west of John Lowell's farm (Cliff's place) when Hazel Miller was a youngster and before her mother died. George Lowell was born on Cliff's farm in 1901. Sometime between 1901 and 1906 when Jack was born, John Lowell bought the farm across the road (Jack's place). John Lowell sold Cliff's place to someone. That person sold the farm to Max Miller. John R. Lowell moved to the West Sioux neighborhood of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on March 17, 1910. He still kept involved with farming, maintaining some haying activities.

"A HARD BATTLE
Local Fire Department Had a Long Run and a Hard Fight Tuesday Afternoon
Shortly after 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon an alarm of fire was telephoned in from West Sioux Falls, and Chief Arndt started the chemical and a force of men to the scene of the fire. It was rumored that the Parsons grocery store was burning, but this proved untrue. When the firemen arrived they found the barn of J. R. Lowell and some hay which surrounded the same in flames.
The firemen realized at once that they would be unable to prevent the fire from spreading with the chemical alone and a telephone call was sent in for the steamer which was gotten on the ground as rapidly as possible. The firemen with the chemical devoted their energies in saving a new granary which was about half filled with grain. In this they were successful, but the fire would certainly have spread to near by buildings had it not been for the arrival of the steamer. The steamer was located at one of the abandoned quarries in which considerable amount of water was found. It required the laying of 1,550 feet of hose to reach the fire. But a stream from this hose pumped by the steamer was finally sufficient to put out the fire.
The loss was confined to the barn and its contents together with considerable hay which had been stacked around the barn.
The loss will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $300. Mr. Lowell is a retired farmer who moved into West Sioux Falls some few months ago from the vicinity of Tea. How the fire started and whether or not there was any insurance could not be learned."

He came to Minnesota in 1851, and on the day of his arrival went with a batteau containing provisions from St. Anthony to meet the log drivers on Rum river. He was married Sept. 26, 1853 to Sophronia M. Smith, and the next spring took up his residence upon a farm in what is now the town of Champlin, where he lived eight years. He then moved to Anoka, where he engaged in lumbering and carpenter work until 1897, when he returned to Champlin, where he lived until his death May 9, 1901. Of three children only one daughter, Mary, is still living. For the past twelve years Mrs. Lowell has been engaged in lecturing for Spirtualist organizations in several western states, and her local work for the past four years has been for the Band of Peace, Minneapolis. -History of Anoka County by Albert M.

Lowell, Benjamin F., age 32, carriage maker, real estate valued at $1000, personal property valued at $300, born in ME;
Sarah E., age 30, keeping house, born in ME.

From the Bangor Daily Whig and Courier, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1882:
“SHOT HIMSELF. Benjamin F. Lowell, belonging to Wilton, went to Boston two days ago with his wife, and secured lodging. While Mrs. Lowell was out posting a letter, about 6 o’clock Sunday evening, says the Herald, her husband shot himself in the heart with a revolver, in his room, and died instantly. The deceased was 43 years of age. For a long time, he was a conductor on a South boston horse car, and left that occupation to travel for a carriage manufacturer. While in Maine, lookiing up a trade last summer, he got a sunstroke, and ever since has been ailing. His wife tried every remedy for him, but could not succeed in getting his health restored. Finally they went to Boston to consult physicians. Persons in the house, where the suicide occurred, heard the report of the pistol, but did not realize that it had gone off in the house. About 10 minutes afterward, Mrs. Lowell returned, and some one passing her room found her bending, grief stricken, over the corpse of her husband. Medical Examiner Draper was notified but deemed an inquest unnecessary.”

41 "George Leubecher arrived in the United States in 1880 from Germany with three German dollars and a few articles of clothing. It took three years working first on a farm near Pittsburgh, then in the coal mines, to earn and save enough money to send for his wife, Augusta and three daughters, Ida, Bertha, and Kate, from Germany. It took another eight months in Pittsburgh to save enough for the family to move to Sioux Falls in Dakota Territory. Unable to find housing, the family took up residence in a leaky roofed carpenter's shop where they moved the bed almost nightly in order to keep dry. Soon they were able to buy a one-room shanty for 12 dollars near what is now Morrell Meat Packing Plant. It was here that Helen (Gussie), and the only son, Herman, were born. For the sum of $1600 George and Augusta bought 80 acres from the Whipple homestead in Lincoln County (in the southeast quarter of Section 7 and northeast quarter of Section 18) Springdale Township in 1889, and moved here with their five children. The land has been in the Leubecher family continuously since that time (homesite in Section 7).

"Here they did extensive market gardening and peddled vegetables, meat, eggs, butter, sauerkraut, horseradish, and anything else they might have. Augusta called on hotels, restaurants, and also homes.

"George and Augusta were devout Lutherans and belonged to the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls.

"Their five children were as follows-- Ida (Mrs. Max Miller); Kate (Mrs. Will Buswell), Toppenish, Wa.; Helen or Gussie (Mrs. Norman Bates), and after his death married Hansell Thompson, Stanwood, Wa.; Bertha (Mrs. John Hommes), Oklahoma City; and Herman who married Iva Peterson and remained on the "home place" as a farmer. Ida, who was living in Springdale Township at the time of her death, was killed by lightning at the age of 38."

"My grandfather Leubecher was a traveling musician. They say he was a Bavarian gypsy. Grandpa Leubecher had been married before. He had a son. I don't know what happened to his first wife. The son came over to America after he was grown up. He worked in the Lick Observatory in California. He was a photographer. He was a half brother. He was adopted by somebody else and he went by that name. He never married because when he passed away his belongings had been sent to Grandpa Leubecher and that was where all these pictures were. His inheritance was divided between his half brothers and sisters, which my Mother was one. What was her share was divided up between us three. We got $35. We bought our first vacuum sweeper shortly after we were married with that. "

From Phoebe Tilton Genealogy:
“7. RICHARD LOWLE (Percival, Richard, John, John, Thomas) was born in England about 1602 as, at his death in Newbury on August 5, 1682, his age was estimated as about eighty. His wife Margaret, whose surname is not known, survived him. She was about seventy-four years old in 1679 and was, therefore, born about 1605.
“Whereas his brother John, who died when a comparatively young man, had begun what promised to be a distinguished career in New England, Richard Lowle was a man of little mark considering his probable educational and known financial possibilities. His only public service was performed as a member of the grand jury in 1649. Possibly, however, ill-health prevented his taking a more active part in the affairs of the town and colony as in 1653, at his own request, the court relieved him of the care of the estates of his nephews James and Joseph Lowle, “the sd Richard being very sickly and thereby uncapable to look any further after the same.”
“In 1656 Richard Lowle was fined for an attempted assault on Jane Boulton. In 1671 he was released from training because of his age and was “one of the Brethren” on Ref. Mr. Parker’s side in the Parker-Woodman controversy which split the town of Newbury into two bitter factions. His old age must have been much troubled by the several suits brought against him by his nephew Benjamin Lowle. Unable to appear in court in person, he employed Tristram Coffin as his attorney.
“Richard Lowle of Newbury made his will June 25, 1681, and it was proved September 26 1682. To his wife Margaret he left all his household goods, except his great Bible and his great pot, his house, land, orchard and meadow during her widowhood, and named her executrix. After her marriage or death, his son Percival was to have the house, barn, land and orchard (except twelve acres on the northeasterly side). Also to his son Percival, twelve acres of marsh “in the great Marshes by the Plumb bushes,” five acres of marsh below Benjamin Rolfe’s, two acres of marsh at Old Town, one half of his commonage, his great pot and his great Bible. He acknowledged that the meadow in Birchen Meadows which was formerly his belonged to Percival by purchase. To his son Thomas Lowle, twelve acres of upland, but if the testator’s son Samuel Lowle desired to build a house for his settled habitation, Thomas was to allow Samuel to have an acre adjoining widow Muzzy’s land. If Samuel “shall refuse or relinquish his Right in the acre of land,” Thomas shall pay to him £6 in current New England silver money or £10 in current pay. To his son Thomas, all of his Plum island marsh, six acres of salt marsh at Old Town and one-half of his commonage. After his wife’s death his movables are to be divided between his sons Percival and Thomas. To his son Thomas, all of his cattle, and Thomas is to live in his house and have one-sixth of the apples as long as he lives a single man. To Anthony Somerby, “a book called Mr. Hooker’s politic.” Witnesses: Tristam Coffin, Anthony Somerby. The estate was worth £671, most of the value being in land. The inventory was taken by Nichlas Noyes, Anthony Somerby and Daniel Pierce, and sworn to by Margaret Lowle on September 26, 1682.

From the Facebooik page of Kate McNab Londagin, posted April 16, 2021:
“I love genealogy!
Here is a fun fact I unearthed regarding my 2nd great grandfather Able McFarland, father of my dad’s grandmother Lulu McNab. Able rounded the horn in 1850 to join in the California Gold Rush. Lucky Abel hit it big in Gibsonville (Sierra county.) A newly found McFarland relative gave me some background; it seems Abel was able to sell his claim for a guaranteed income. He moved to the Napa valley and established a ranch. Abel was so wealthy he was able to send his only daughter Lulu to college (first woman in this line to attend UC Berkeley!) Able also purchased 2 Steinway pianos, one for his daughter and one for her friend, who also wanted to learn how to play. He hired a piano teacher from San Francisco to come up to his ranch in Ukiah once a week to tutor the girls. I have found newspaper clippings telling of her concert-quality performances.
Mr grandfather left me a few gold nuggets from his grandfather. I also have some letters Lulu wrote my grandfather during WWI. Times weren’t so rosy once the money ran out and a years long drought dragged down the family’s ranching fortune.
Apprently, Abel was not forgotten by everyone in the vally. Diane Disney (daughter of Walt) who co-owns the Silverado Vineyards in Napa dedicated a 2017 Cabernet to my 2nd Great Grandfather Abel.
Silverado 2017 Abel Cabernet Sauvignon.”
