>From "The Condon Clan, Descendants of Thomas Condon, Ontario, and his son Nathaniel Bloodsworth Condon, WI and Allied Lines.:  Edited by Mary Poast and Dr. Arnold Condon, published by Condon Family of Brodhead, WI, Aug 5, 1983:

 Mary's birthdate listed as  1795 vice 1796.

 Mary Stewart Condon was born in Prince William, New Brunswick, in 1795, the dauthgter of Thomas and Ruth. She was an older sister of Nathaniel and came with the family to Binbrook, Upper Canada (Ontario). When only 16, she married John Bosl!
ow and they lived near the historic town of Stoney Creek. At least 6 children were born to them (may be in error).

 The family migrated to the frontier state of Ohio before 1838. In the spring of 1844 they moved again to Wisconsin and became some of the very earliest settlers in Spring Grove, Green COunty. Several of their grown children stayed in Ohio.

 Mary's husband died in 1848, only 4 years after moving to Wisconsin. She ten broke up housekeeping at 52 and moved tothe next farm where she lived with her daughter, Harriet Derrick, for 20 years. Harriet died and she then moved to Richmond, Indiana, where she lived the last 12 years with her youngest son, G.R. Boslow.

 Concerning Mary's children:

  1. Mary married James Edward Newson, Jan 11, 1838, in Hardin County, Ohio. They had 6 daughters, one son, and numerous descendants. Michael CUnningham, Gilber Texas, is the son of the son of the son of the daughter, of the daughter, of the daughter, Mary. In other words, Ma!
ry COndon Boslow is his fourth great grandmother. He is only 31, but wront a book on: "Genealogy and U," also a genealogy column for 67 newspapers. He has a son age 6 and triplet daughters age 4 and works for a steel plant. In 1982 he wrote to the Brodhead COndons requesting information on Mary Condon Boslow. Later he furnished information on Mary Nelson and Peter Boslow.

  2. Peter C> Boslow born in 1819, also stayed in Hardin COunty, Ohio. In 1846 he fonded the town of Patterson. Much later in Nov 1861, he formed CO. C of the 82nd and Ohio VOlunteer Infantry, was commissioned Captain and served 3 years.

  3. Harriet married her neighbor, Frank Derrick, son of Adolphus who came to SPring Grove from Clarence, New York. The Derrick men were highly respected because of their CHristian conduct and community leadership. Harriet and Frank had four sons and 3 daughters. Of these, Frank Jr., stayed in Brodhead and was a lawyer and much admired by everyone. He was a tall rugger ma!
n who made wonderful impersonations of Lincoln and Uncle Sam.

  Harriet's son, Paul, was perhaps Brodhead's most illustrious citizen when he retired there. Paul Derrick had gone to CHicago to learn advertising and went into that busines. He started the first nation-wide advertising campaigns, lauching Quaker Oats into their success. Later, he was prominent in New York advertising and from there he went to London and had the first American advertising agency there. He wa President of the London Chamber of COmmerce and presented American society girls to the Queen's COurt. After traveling the world, he chose to return to Brodhead where he built and lived in Panda Lodge, a beautiful Tudor style house.

  4. Thomas Boslow was 22 when his father died. He probably stayed on the home farm because he was still in Spring Grove at age 37.

  Ida probably married a son from the Klumb family who lived nearby. Ida and J.J. went to Nebraska with Clinton Condon, homsteaded in the same ar!
ea and lived next to C.C. Boslow according to the map.

  G.R. Boslow went to Richmond, Indiana. He was the youngest son according to his Mother's obituary and she died at his home, but was brought to Brodhead for burial.

Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brodhead WI with Derrick family. Tombstone reads born in 1795.

Generation No. 3

3.  THOMAS CONDON4 BOSLOW (JOHN3, PETER2 BOWSLAUGH, SEBASTIAN1 BOUSLAUGH) was born Mar 18, 1828 in Stoney Creek, Ontario.  He married PAULINE DERRICK Dec 11, 1853 in Spring Grove, WI, daughter of RUDOLPHUS DERRICK and LURINDA SHELDON.

Notes for THOMAS CONDON BOSLOW:
Listed in Ancestral File: ID (BBKK-JV). Birth date listed as 1829.

Following info from "Gen!
ealogy and History of the Derthicks and Related Derricks", By Spencer and Godpasture. Gateway Press, Inc. Baltimore, 1986:   Ida lived with her grandparents (Rudolphus and Loranda) until her father, Thomas Boslow, returned from Calif following the Gold Rush.

 Think the authors got story right but for wrong person... Jacob Klumb was her father in law, not her father.  However, maybe both of them went off together.  But the History of Green County didn't mention anything about that in his bio.

>From "The Condon Clan, Descendants of Thomas Condon, Ontario, and his son Nathaniel Bloodsworth Condon, WI and Allied Lines.:  Edited by Mary Poast and Dr. Arnold Condon, published by Condon Family of Brodhead, WI, Aug 5, 1983:

 Lists birth place as Stoney Creek vice New Brunswick, and date of 1826 vice 1828. Not all the data is believable, since authors mixed 2 generations of children as children of John Boslow and Mary Stewart Condon.

Klumb, who celebrated her 91st birthday the other day, makes about one rage rug a month, tats delicate lace handkerchiefs for gifts to all her many friends crochets doilies and table runners and reads all the latest news inthe daily newspapers and timely material in current magazines. She uses no eyeglases when she sews.

 And we know a young lady in her 20's who can't embroider the lazy daisy stitch forhalf an hour without tiring her eyes.
 
 Mrs. Klumb, who was born in Wisconsin, pioneered in Nebraska farming contry where she went through prairie first and grasshopper plagues. She came to Olympia about 1910... Because Mrs. Klumb cannot get out and around as she once did, she writes letters ito her many friends, averaging anywhere from 4 to 7 a day. AT Christmas she sends cards to at least 300 friends, including everybody from 1st grade school chyms in !
the east to the next-door neightbor who moved in a week ago. She never forgets a birthday.

Last will of Ida:

 "6th of Oct 1943.  I wish to state that I have changed my former plan of disposing of my funds that are in the building and land. I formally decided in the presence of Minny and Libby my two daughters that I did not intend to have the wilI had made out probated and would call it null and void. And destroy te will and that Minny was to pay all my funeral xpenses and doctor bills out of the funds I had left at my death in the building and land as she has her name with mine in the book I have to show that her name is there wth mine. Now what I want to do is to change the way of disposing of the funds left in the building and land at my death. And in case Minny my daughter should pass away befor!
e I do that the funds be turned over to my other daughter Libby to be disposedof in the same way as intended that Minny my daughter was to do. Now if Minny lives longer than I do, please do not go to much expense to lay me away. I would prefer that Mills have charge of my funeral and the song I prefer is Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine. And my dress to be a black sabe (sic) with white lace at the neck and bust, also a white ribbon bow tied inmy left side. NowI would like to have the boys my sons, have something that belonged to me and you girls can give each of them something and give Winifred, Dorothy, Betty, and Phyllis some that beloned to thieir Grandma.
 I have quite a number of books and if they are not wanted by any of the children give them to the Public Library. Give my Bible to Jean (sic) Klumb as she is the only great grandchild that belongs to the church. Burn all my old letters and post cards. Give my clothes to the Salvation Army and if you do not want the "frat!
her" (sic) tick give same to them. My books you can do as you think best with. Any my pictures too. Now I want my two daughters to dispose of these articles if they are both here when I pass on to the other side. Now if Mr. Cesky (sic) on the west side is alive when I go, I would like for him to preach the funeral sermon and in case he has answered the call to come up then you can get whom you choose. Now if there is any funds left after all expences are met ___ (sic), Minny and Libby can do as you think best. Good by and God Bless you all is my prayer.

Bio contained in "Washington, West of the Cascades, Vol III, pp. 359-360; S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1917, CHicago, Seattle, Tacoma:

 F.R. Klumb, engaged in business in Olympia as Proprietor of the Capital City Creamery, has made his home in Washington since 1911, at which time he made his way direct to Olympia. He was born in Brodhead, WI, Jun 9, 1872. His father Jacob J. Klumb, a native of WI, was born in Brodhead in 1849 and in 1872 he!
 removed to the west, since which time he has been identified with ranching interests. He was married onthe 4th of Jul 1871,to Miss Ida L. Boslaw, also a native of Brodhead.

 Their son, F. R. Klumb, was but a year old when the parents removed to Hampton, Nebraska, where he became a public school pupil passing through consecutive grades to thehigh school, from which he was graduated when 16 years of age. He afterward taught school in Hamilton County, Nebraske, for two years and then entered the Rohrbaugh Brothers Business COllege, in which he continued his studies untilFeb 1893. Atthat date he went to Chicago andentered the restaurant business, in which he continued untilthe 1st of June of the same year, when he was appointed a cadet tothe U.S. Military Academy at West Point from Hamilton County by the COngressman Heiner. He afterward returned to Chicago for four months and then went to Aurora, Nebraska, where he filled the office of deputy county clerk for 2 years, entering !

On the expiration of that periodhe returned to Fairbanks, where he was identified with mining interests until Sep 1911. He then went to Lynden, WA and after a brief period removed to Olympia, where he purchased the Capital City Creamery, which he has since conducted, winning forhimself a place among the substantial businessmen there.

Notes for MINNIE ESTELLE KLUMB:
Mom's eulogy at Minnie's funeral, July 23, 1986:

 "Minnie Estelle Castle was born November 29, 1889 in Hampton, Nebraske, the fifth child and oldest daughter of John Jacob and Ida Lurinda Klumb.
 With her f!
our brothers (Ray, Hary, Guy, and June) already in their own homes, Minnie andher younger sister, Libbie, spent their teen years in Aurora, Nebraska. They lived above the Hamilton county jail where their father was the sherriff.
 Minnie was graduated from Aurora High School in 1908, completed the District's Normal training program and taught one year in a neighboring rural school. In a two room school house she taught students from the lst grade thru high school.
 Upon Libbie's high school graduation in 1910, the two girls came west with their parents to Lynden, Washington. Again, Minnie found a rural school and taught elementary grades for two years. The family then moved to Olympia where brothers Ray and Guy wsere operating the Capital City Creamery.
 Minnie gave up teaching to work for her brothers and it was here -- dishing up ice cream cones -- that she met her future husband as he came far more often than necessary to buy ice for his shrimp business.
 Minnie and Lewis!
 Edward Castle were married in Chehalis, Washington July 29, 1915 with her brother and wife Herb and Etta Castle, standing up with them. They made their home in Olympia for the rest of their lives.
 On their first wedding anniversary they were blessed with the arrival of the first of their 3 daughters, Winnifred. A year and a day later, July 30, their second daughter Doroty arried. Nine years later, another daughter, Betty Jeane, came to make their home complete.
 From the first years of their marriage, Minnie worked side by side with her husband as they owned and operated the old City Dye Works at the corner of West Fourth and Water street, and then for forty yhears, the Castle Cleaners on the east side at 2112 Pacific Avenue.
 There Minnie stood a the steram press, did the spotting and mending, and waited on the public. Always a good listener, she established many friendships with the customers who broght onot only their cleaning into the shop but also their trials and tr!
ibulationns. Many lingered to shre their daily experiences and concerns with Minnie.
 There were very few sick days and Minnie kept at the family business until in her 80's. It was finally closed out after the death of her husband at the age of 88 in 1969.
 Minnie and Lewis were firm believers in education and NEVER, NEVER missed voting in a school levy election nor did they miss an opportunity to be of help to Olympia teachers. They came to the rescue of many when the going got tough to cash school warrants or when teachers homes were about to be foreclosed on them. They lived modestly to be of help to others.
 They were proud of the academic and personal accomplishments of their daughters and grandchildren. Their happiest momnents were having their children and grandchildren together for their traditional July 29th gathering of the clan to celebrate their wedding anniversary, the birthdays of Win and Dot, and then Wayne. It was always a pilgrimmage for Betty and family fr!
om Eastern Washington and Dottie from Mexico City. Also among the special family memories are the celebrations for Minnie and Louie's 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries.
 The children and grandchildren loved the picnics at Millersylvania Park and the Sunday night popcorn and milk. As grandchildren arrived they loved riding in the delivery truck with their grandfather, watching him water witch wells around Thurston County, and goining in on the family sing-alongs. Minnie enjoyed playing the piano and singing grandpa's favorite songs -- "Spring Time in the Rockies" and "Utah Trail".
 She avidly listened to baseball games on the radio and then TV; enjoyed bargain shopping for groceries, did a great deal of reading and sewed many of her own clothes.
 She was a life member and past president of the Olympia Lodge of the Degree of Honor Protective Association, a former social member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Royal Neighbors and the Cleaners and Dyers Association!
.
 Minnie took life in stride - always working, doing her share with few complaints and no grand expectations.
 She was stoic through all her final physical ordeals -- losing her first leg 6 years ago, the second three years ago and two painful surgeries in 1985 and the last 10 days at St. Peter's Hospital.
 While hating to leave her 7th street home of 65 years, she graciously accepted her new life at Evergreen Convalescent Center. She enjoyed her various room mates, the staff and her sister's daily company the past 3 years.
 She was sometimes reluctant to join the special events at Evergreen, saying; "I don't want to go down there with all those old ladies."
 Until her last breath Friday, she was mentally alert, had an incredible memory and a concern for the world and for those around her.
 ... As she cared for her aging mother -- making a home for her for nearly 20 years -- Minnie's love of family continues into the present generation.
 As family members -- as neighbor!
s and friends --- we Salute and acknowledge the long live of service... a lady who was a joy to know, a comfort to others, a lister par excellant, a ready wit who wanted to live to be a hundred. She almost made it and all are gratefujl for these many years we had here..;...     As Dr. Lux said:  "She was a grand lady!!"

 vi. ELIZABETH INA KLUMB, b. May 20, 1892, Hampton, Nebraska; d. Jun 11, 1986, Olympia, Washington; m. HENRY OLIVE!
R TURNER, Apr 19, 1914, Centralia, Washington.

Notes for ELIZABETH INA KLUMB:
Mom's Eulogy at EE's graveside funeral at Masonic Memorial Park, June 20, 1986:
 Elizabeth Ina Turner was born May 20, 1892 in Hampton, Nebraska, the youngest of 6 children born to John Jacob and Ida Lurinda Klumb.
 With her four brothers (Ray, Harry, Guy and June) older and in their own homes, she and her sister Minnie spent their teen years in Aurora, Nebraska living above the Hamilton County jail where their father was the sheriff.
 She was graduated from Aurora High School in 1910 and left Nebraska with her parents and sister a few weeks later to settle in Lynden, Washington. Two years later the family moved to Olympia where Ray and Guy had set up the Capital City Creamery.
 Elizabeth entered nurses' training at St. Joseph Hospital in Tacoma. A few years later she became one of the first women in the state to be a licensed embalmer.
 In 1914 she was married to Henry Oliver Turner in Centrali!
a, where a year later they had their only child, Phyllis Anne.
 They made their home in San Diego for a short time while Mr. Turner was in the U.S. Navy, then came to Olympia.
 While their daugher attended McKinley elementary school, both Mr. and Mrs. Turner were active in the school PTA. Mr. Turner was a traditional feature of the school carnival performing his slight-of-hand and magical tricks and the two conducted popular booths with their taffy pulls.
 They then moved to Tacoma where Mr. Turner was employed by the Tuell Funeral Home. Their daughter attended Jason Lee Junior High, graduated form Stadium High School, and then from the University of Washington.
 Mr. Turner died in 1943 and their daughter, Mrs. Fredd Bonney, in 1973.

 Life had many disappointments for Mrs. Turner and she was frequently alone. She did practical nursing and housekeeping for many years, worked at the Olympia Cannery, shucked Olympia oysters during the early days of World War II, and frequen!
tly filled in as a seamstress for her sister at the Castle Cleaners. She loved babies and was called upon by many friends and neighbors, as well as family, to welcome newborn babies to the world. Among the happiest occasions were tending to the early needs of her four grandchildren...
 She traditionally spent Christmas and the coldest winter months with her daughter and son-in-law in San Carlos, California.
 Fraternal affiliations for Mrs. Turner included for many  years the Pythian Sisters and the Degree of Honor Protective Association.
 An avid gardener, Libbie -- as her mother called her -- grew prize vegetables along with an old fashioned garden of sweet peas, roses, daisies, delphinium, peonies, lilacs and rhododendrons.
 She furnished boquets from early spring to the latest chrysanthemum for countless neighbors and friends. She shared her baked goodies -- applesauce cake and overnight cookies -- and her homegrown string beans and lucious raspberrries at all the famil!
y gatherings.
 She faithfully trimmed her hedges, clipped her shrubs and tied her raspberry bushes until in her 90's.
 Her 90th birthday was celebrated in 1982 at the home of her sister, Minnie, with family and friends gathered for the special day. Her grad daughter, Lisa Bonney of Seattle, entertained the guests with a magic performance that would have undoubtedly pleased her great-grandfather. Libbie was the "stooge" that happy afternoon, holding the empty box from which the live doves fluttered ojt.
 Mrs. Turner was blessed with some wonderful neighbors in addition to her family. Family members apprecite the tender loving care extended day after day the past 5 years by Joan Crosbie... and by neighbors such as Mr. and Mrs. Bert Holmes and Dave and Dorothy Garrett.
 Mrs. Garrett expressed some of Libbie's unique qualities in a note saying of "Grandma Turner"... "She was always offering a helping hand and to our daughters she was a loving substitute for their own grandmoth!
er who lived so far away. She shared with us her wisdom, the lovely flowers from her garden, and her enthusiasm for baseball. Those were good years and we loved her dearly."
 It was ironic (and yet, perhaps, symbolic) that the 2 sisters, Minnie and Libbie, would end up at St. Peters Hospital on the same day in May 3 years ago -- never either one of them to return again to their own homes.
 They have been daily companions the past 3 years at the Evergreen Convalescent Center -- sharing family memories into their 96th and 94th years. To all her nieces, grand nieces and grand nephews on the Castle side, she will always be:  Aunt EE.
 She passed away after torturous surgery and complications on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, June 11 at the age of 94 years and 22 days.
 ... It is fitting that we commemorate her ashes and place them back to the bosom of her mother --- alongside her father. It was Elizabeth who nursed and tended her dying mother the last year of her 94 years of life!
. They are together again -- the youngest child of the JJ and Ida Klumb family.
 We salute Elizabeth... a life spen busily working, gardening, nursing and helping others... her memory will be treasured.
