NUMBERING SYSTEM
I give the number 0 to the common ancestor, the numbers 1 2 .. to his children,
11 12 .. 21 22 .. to his grandchildren, and so on.
For ease of reading I insert a blank after every 4th digit.
So their number they would have in withers.html is 382 followed by their
number in below.
The generation number 0- 1- 2- etc appears before the first name.
Add 4 to this to get the generation number 1-- 2-- etc in withers.html

[Most US jurisdictions with respect to probate records are simply
counties. As a result it isn't customary to cite the name of the
court, as with British records. All one has to do is consult an index
for the county, and unless there was a fire or other misfortune, the
original will, a will book copy, or both should be available in the
county courthouse.]

years younger than himself, and his entire family of ten children were
at ZMarshfield at the time of his death. He always had lived a
staunch, upright and honest life, having been brought up by Quaker

an electric iron cord. His wife found the body when she returned home

called JONES, who notified the coroner. Mrs. RUSSELL told the coroner
that her husband had been in poor health and had been unable to work
for more than a year. He was formerly employed at the Luhrig Mine.
Mrs. RUSSELL also said that her husband had made another attempt to
take his life about a month ago, at which time his sons prevented him
from shooting himself. He leaves, in addition to his widow, five

Township, Athens County Ohio; d. December 1972, Gallipolis, Ohio; Gallipolis
Mental Health Hospital. FAMILY HISTORY: written by Pauline's great
niece, Janet Goff JENKINS. I remember Pauline when I was growing up
in New Marshfield, Ohio as a girl. I was always told that at the age
of 6 years Pauline contacted scarlet fever and the fever left her with
the mind of a 6 year old the rest of her life. She lived with her
mother until her mother, Susan Edna Swaim WITHERS, could no longer
physically take care of Pauline because of failing health. After
Pauline's mother's death, Pauline stayed for awhile with her sister
and my grandmother, Janet Withers RUSSELL. Because Pauline could at
times be hard to handle, Janet very reluctantly admitted Pauline to
the Columbus State Hospital where she was cared for. As a girl I
remember going there to visit with her. She was then moved to a
cottage in the State vacility at Gallipolis, Ohio which was a very
homey vacility of which Pauline enjoyed being. Janet worked at Ohio
University in Athens, Ohio as a cook at one of the halls and was
unable to keep Pauline at home. But, Janet and her children visited
Pauline often, sent her birthday presents and Christmas presents every
year and we would even go as a family and have picnics on the
vacilities grounds. My father, Solomon GOFF, would be the one to
drive grandma and his family down on Sundays to visit with Pauline.
Also, after , Pauline's sister, Janet , retired from Ohio University,
Janet would bring Pauline to New Marshfield for a two week visit every
so often which Pauline really enjoyed. I feel compeled to say this ,
the Janet RUSSELL family including her children treated Pauline
wonderfully, never forgot her birthdays, and gave her wonderful gifts
at Christmas. Everytime my father, Solomon, would be with Pauline he
would take her to an ice cream place and buy her the biggest ice cream
cone they sold. She loved it. The family also talked to her, paid
attention to her and enjoyed teasing her and she would usually blush
and hide behind someone as a child would do. The story is told that
when Pauline lived with Janet that if she were left with the RUSSELL
children for a while that when her sister, Janet , would come home,
Pauline usually had taken the clothes off of the children and had
washed and hung up their clothes. She was able to do some
houseworking tasks. Pauline loved her sister, Janet, and when
Grandmother passed away in July of 1972 the family did not tell her
because Pauline would continually ask about her sister and cry to see
her. But, Pauline did get the opportunity to see her sister shortly
because in the same year of 1972 Pauline passed away with pneumonia
only five months after Janet.

Notes for Margaret Kathleen WITHERS: Source: Written by John Dale JACKSON
Nickname "Katy", School teacher for many years of the Fourth Grade, Waterloo
Township, Athens County, Ohio, Lived in the family home until her death.
Was married and divorced. John JACKSON had her as his 4th grade teacher. At
that time she was principal as well as 4th and 5th grade teacher. These two
grades were combined in the early 1940s with the 4th grade on one side of
the room and the 5th on the other side. When she had to punish someone
(generally one of the boys she sent him outside to cut a switch, she
specified the length and the spicie , generally willow or hickory). The
worst year of my education, ous was a small town and she didn't want anyone
to think she showed favor to her nephew. She succeeded to the point that
classmates would tell their parents how mean she was to me, (she really
wasn't, she had taken great pains to explain the situation to me before
school term started. The parents of myu classmates finally approached her
and explained that they knew she would never show favor. Things eased up a
bit then. She was always very good to me and I felt a great loss at her
passing. Her family home was a gathering place for her ceices and nephews
and their families. The yard was large and well shaded by large maples near
the road.
