Notes:

From MaryAnne Hrubesky:

The records of three real estate transfers were found in the Lincoln newspapers.

From The Evening State Journal (Lincoln, Nebraska) January 1, 1937: Provident Savings & Loan to Clarence Frasier and Raymond W. Williamson, L 13 and 14 except E 10 ft. of L14, B 15 Havelock 1.00

From The Nebraska State Journal October 14, 1944: Raymond Williamson and w to Clarence Frasier L 13 and 14; B 15 and L 7 B 32, all in Havelock. (rev. $3.30) 1.00

From The Lincoln Star May 6, 1975: Frasier, Clarence D and wife to F & B Investments, Inc., L 15, B 15, Havelock, $39,000.

(These properties were The Joyo Theater located in downtown Havelock. The first transfer shows the purchase of The Joyo by Clarence Frasier and his brother-in-law, Raymond W. Williamson. The second item would be the transfer of the share of ownership held by Raymond and his wife (Mabel Frasier Williamson) to Clarence Frasier. The final transfer would be the sale of the Joyo Theater upon Clarence's retirement.

Notes:

Her marriage license says she was born in Marion County, Indiana

Ida was the eighth child of Benjamin and Louisa Black. She was born in Fairfield, IN on May 1, 1864. The family moved to North English, IA by covered wagon when she was a year old. Her mother died when she was two years old. In 1879 she came to Nebraska (she was 15) with Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Rosecrans and lived on the farm west of Ashland with them. She joined the New Hope Christian Church when she was 16 years old. She married Edward Frasier in 1886. They lived on several different farms before ending up back on the Rosecrans farm where she lived with Edward until his death in 1938. She then moved to Havelock, NE and lived with her son Clarence until her death in 1949. Further information regarding the Rosecrans' is not known, other than they bought their land from the railroad.



From MaryAnn Hrubesky:



The Black Siblings - In 1880



The death of their mother, Louisa Matthews Black, in 1866 was a life changing event for these children. A number of them were still quite young. Ida, born in 1864, was only two years old and was raised by her older sisters, a step-mother, and a very kind young couple, the Rosencrans, living nearby.



Their father had remarried in 1870. His second wife was Sarah Dennis who had also been trying to raise six young children since the death of her husband in 1863 while he had been a soldier in the Civil War. It would seem to be an excellent idea for both Sarah and Benjamin. In fact, it wasn't. They would produce two children together but at some point before 1880, they would separate and divorce.



Benjami n had six living children by Louisa left in the home area at this point. (Samuel is absent and cannot be found and Joseph has already left for the West.) Together, the children would plan to move west themselves and resettle, startinnng new lives. Only Edwin Howard would remain in Iowa, having married a neighboring girl in 1878. The five other children would move to Saunders County, Nebraska. They are present there at the 1880 census. (William would remain in Iowa, living with his newly married brother, for a short time but would soon also be in Saunders County.)

Ida, the youngest and 17 years of age, would be with the family of Edwin Rosencrans to whom she had been close in Iowa. In the 1880 census in Saunders County, NE, the Rosencrans would list her as "adopted." Her regard for the Rosencrans woulululd remain very high through the remainder of their lives. It is on the Rosencrans' farm that she would become acquainted and later married to their "hired man," Edward Frasier. When Edwin Rosencrans retired from farming, the Frasiers would buy his farm and live and work the property for the remainder of their own lives.

Benjamin's children with Sarah Dennis were John and Berton Earnest. Berton Earnest remains in this area with his mother. He grew to adulthood, married and lived the remainder of his life in this area. John soon disappears from the records.



As the marriage between their father, Benjamin Black, and Sarah Dennis had failed, it would seem likely that he would also have accompanied his children to Nebraska. But he did not. Whether he ever visited them is unknown. In the 1880 census he is boarding with a neighboring farmer in Iowa. Soon he would decide to return to the area in which he was raised, Boone and Kenton Counties in northern Kentucky. He may have had relatives still present in the area and/or perhaps he was just "going home." In this location in 1885 he would meet Cynthia Jones who would become his third wife. He lived until 1894. It is not known whether he and his children had any further contact. One would certainly hope so.

1870 Federal Census:
Benjamin Black is in a household with his second wife Sarah and his children Ruth, Jane, Edwin, Perry, William, and Addie (Ida). Also in the household are four Cole chidlren, presumably from Sarah's first marriage. They are Julia, Sarah, William and Henrietta.

Notes:

Benjamin is shown to be farming in the 1870 census in the English Twp of Iowa Co., IA. His wife is shown as Sarah, who apparently is the widow of a Mr. Coles since there are three Cole children in the household. Black children living in the ho household in 1870 include: Ruth (19), Jane (15), Edwin (13), Perry (10), William (8) and Addie (6). Benjamin was active in the early North English Christian Church. He was named as chairman of a meeting discussing the church's finances in 1868. Apparently, he was a justice of the peace or minister as B.F. Black officiated at the marriage of John Gilchrist and Rachel Goodridge in 1870. That John Gilchrist was a founding member of the North English Christian Church, and was the grandfather of John Dirom Gilchrist, who would become Benjamin Black's son-in-law. (DN)



Benjamin died of lung and kidney trouble at his home 1½ miles east of Walton, Kenton Co., KY. (LTF)



__

(from a geocities.com research; ca 2001)



Benjamin is still farming in English township of Iowa Co., Iowa in the 1870 census. He has remarried Sarah, who apparently is the widow of a Mr. Cole since there are three Cole children living in their household. The Black children in the 1870 census are Ruth 19, Jane 15, Edwin 13, Perry 10, William 8, and Addie 6.



I believe Benjamin's second wife Sarah might be the widow of a Samuel S. Cole. Samuel S. Cole is a 20-year-old farmer in the 1850 census of Iowa Co., Iowa in English twp. He is married to Sarah D. Cole, age 19, born in Ohio. that age and birthplace fit Benjamin Black's wife in 1870.



We can guess Benjamin and Louisa came to Iowa about 1865 since they had a child Addie (Ida) born in Indiana about 1864 and Louisa died in Iowa in 1866.



Benjamin was active in the early North English Christian Church. He was named as a chairman of a meeting discussing the church's finances in 1868.



Apparently he was a justice of the peace or minister as B.F. Black officiated the marriage of John Gilchrist and Rachel Goodridge in 1870. That John Gilchrist was a founding member of the North English Christian Church, and was the grandfather of John Dirom Gilchrist, who would become Benjamin Black's son-in-law.



Benjamin and much of this family came to Saunders Co., Nebraska and he is thought to have died there [not true - karen]. I gues it was the late 1870's or about 1880 when they came to Nebraska from Iowa. His daughter Ellen and her husband John D. Gilchrist moved there in 1880, and maybe that's when the rest of the Black family moved there also.



There was a large Cole family (some related to the Stone family) in Shelby C., Indiana. Perhaps some of those also came to Iowa and that's the Cole family Benjamin's second wife came from?

(notes from a geocities.com researcher)



Louisa's middle name o f Matilda is reported from a descendant of her son Perry. Matilda is listed as Louisa's middle name on the marriage certificate of her son Perry Hall Black. It is also recorded in a notebook started by Louisa's granddaughter, Perry's daughter, Blanche Olive (Black) Grewell.



However, it might have been a mistake on the marriage certificate: a case of the clerk confusing the bride's name with Perry's mother's first name.
