| 153 | DEATH OF WM. R. BAKER ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS OF HOUSTON GONE A Blow that Will Be Severely Felt - He Expires After a Brief Illness- Sketch of R's Long, Useful and Hononable Life. HOUSTON, Tex., April 30 - This evening at 7:00 o'clock Houston sustained a loss that cannot be repaired in the death of Hon. Wm. Robinson Baker, one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. It was a shock to the entire community, and when generally know will cause perhps more sorrow than the death of any other one man. He seemed in perfect health yesterday afternoon and evening. He was at the game of base-ball, of which sport he was very fond, between Houston and Galveston, and last evening participated in a card party at the home of his sister, Mrs. Clarke, where he was attacked with paralysis a little after 10 o'clock, and was at once conveyed to this home, where Dr. Perl attended him. Mr. Baker himself did not seem to regard his condition as dangerous and was rational at 4 o'clock this morning for short time, after which he seemed to suffer a renewed stroke and never recovered consciousness. Everything that the best medical skill could suggest was done, but of no avail. It was the second or third time he had been attacked by paralysis, and hence a much greater apprehension prevailed than he himself seemed to feel. | Baker, William Robinson (I1661)

| 159 | DeWITT - The funeral of the late Dr. William Armstrong DeWitt, [SRGP 07808] surgeon in chief of the Blossburg hospital, who died Oct. 1st [1918] at 10 a.m. in the Blossburg hospital, following a short illness of pneumonia, a brief account of which appeared in our last issue, was held Friday at 12:30 p.m. at the late home of the deceased on North Williamson Road in Blossburg. Rev. Mr. Baldwin officiating. The remains were taken to Troy, Pa., for interment, the services being in charge of Tyagaghton Commandery, No. 28, Knights Templar of Wellsboro, of which deceased was Eminent Commander. Among the Knights Templar from Wellsboro who attended the funeral were: Hon. S.F. Channell, H.E. Raesly, W.A. VanHorn, F.F. Howd, G.J. Stewart, F.W. Siemens, D.R. Darby, F.M. Sheffer, C.W. Bodine, H.J. Landrus, E.D. Evans, Dr. J.P Longwell, F.J. Campbell, W.R. Borden, Dr. H.W. Bailey, S.Y. Doumaux, Z.H. Peters, Lloyd Smith, R.H. Bower, Geo. B. Horton, G.R. Hathers, G.M. Spalding, W.S. Woodhouse. Many Sir Knights from Coudersport and Canton were also present, as well as member of the Masonic lodges from Tioga and Mansfield. A large number of Tioga and Bradford county physicians were also present besides many people from Wellsboro aside from those already names, among them L. Harrison and family, Dr. & Mrs. F.H. Shaw, Mrs. S.Y. Doumaux, Mrs. W.Q. Benjamin, Mr. & Mrs. S.O. Putnam, N.R. White, E.P. Rees, Dr. W.L. White, Mr. & Mrs. N.B. Leslie. William Armstrong DeWitt was born in Troy, Pa., on September 29, 1886. After attending the public school of that place and graduating from High School, he entered the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he received his degree as Doctor of Medicine at the age of 21 years. For a year or more he was connected with the Presbyterian hospital at Philadelphia and upon leaving there plans were made to locate in Elmira as a practicing physician and surgeon, when through the death of Dr. G.D. Crandall he was called to the Cottage State Hospital at Blossburg. By a strange coincidence Dr. DeWitt's death occurred on the seventh anniversary of his arrival in Blossburg, says the Herald. Shortly afterward he was made chief medical advisor of this hospital and under his supervision the growth of the institution is well known to all in this section. Six years ago he married Mary Treat, of Wayne, Pa., and to them were born three sons, William Treat, Frederick [deceased] and Howard Treat, who, besides the doctor's parents, Mr. & Mrs. W.F. DeWitt of Troy, Pa., and a sister, Mrs. J. Maxwell Beers, of Elmira, survive. Dr. DeWitt was a member of Trojan Lodge, No. 306, F&AM of Troy, Pa.; a charter member of Zebulun Chapter, Nr. 296, R.A.M. at Blossburg; Tyagaghton Commandery, Mr. 28, Knights Templar of Wellsboro, of which he was Eminent Commander; the Consistory, A.A.S.R., of Coudersport; a trustee of the Methodist church of Blossburg; a Director of the Miner's National Bank of Blossburg and a member of the Board of Education of Blossburg borough. The Herald comments on the life of the deceased as follows: "With heads bowed in deepest sorrow over the passing of our common friend and brother, yet in humble submission to His divine will, a town and its community, a host of admiring friends and a devoted family, must say, one to another 'Thy will, not mine, be done.' On Tuesday morning, October first, in the splendor of a radiant autumn day, death came peacefully to Dr. DeWitt. Every means known to medical science was employed, every effort of human aid was undertaken, yet in spite of all, the hand that has healed and administered to hundreds through its skill and tenderness is stilled, and his career enviable now even in its beginning, is cut short 'ere he entered upon the prime of life. From every side one hears. 'He saved others, Himself He could not save.' With the passing of such a soul, snatched, as it seems before its life purpose had been accomplished, with a future brilliant in success and achievement assured, human is powerless to fathom the mystery of death; to those who mourn is left the faith and trust in Him 'who knoweth best and loveth best.' In his profession, in his everyday life, rich or poor knew no distinction; he neglected neither. His life was lived in the seven years he was connected with the Blossburg State Hospital and he gave his time, his untiring efforts, his capabilities, and lastly his life, for that institution which stands now, so wonderfully changed from that to which he came as an earthly memorial to the one so well loved by every patient and co-worker; but far better and more enduring than any earthly memorial is the memory of this young man that will live in the hearts and lives of those who have been privileged to pass his way. In spite of the professional demands upon his time, Dr. DeWitt was faithful to his church, active in civic welfare and improvements, a keen business man with strong executive ability and devoted to his home and family. Boyish almost in mien and address, yet mature in mind and skill he made for himself friends among old and young, rich and poor, fortunate and unfortunate, and knew and met them all as his friends. Not only has the medical world lost a skilled worker, an artist in technique and deftness, but humanity has lost a friend and brother, a fellow sympathizer and a noble citizen." - Wellsboro Agitator, October 9, 1918 | DeWitt, Dr. William Armstrong (I2107)

| 169 | Difficult to pin down the correct father for William Creelman. Early Canadian Creelmans are tied to the well documented Samuel Creelman of Cholchester County, NS. However, there is no mention of this William. More likely would be this Matthew Creelman, possible brother of Samuel, who shows up in the Kings county deeds in 1774. Here is the story of Samuel and Matthew from David Creelman, a descendent: Short history of Samuel Creelman born about 1728 derived from information compiled by Carol Campbell and "History and Genealogical Record of the First Settlers of Colchester County" by Thomas Miller. He lived in Northern Ireland, probably in or near Coleraine, County Londonderry, and whose ancesters came from Scotland. The story prevails that a man whose surname was Ashmore received a contract to transport food to a camp of prisoners. He did this by horse on which were fitted "creels" or saddle baskets. Apparently he developed the reputation as being the "creel-man" and some of his descendents assumed this surname. When this happened we do not know but there are records of numerous Creelmans in Scotland, principally in Lanark County. Sam was married and had four children when he arrived in Halifax, NS in 1761. He probably arrived on the ship Hopewell with 350 passengers. He spent a difficult winter in Lunenburg before moving to Amherst, NS where he received a land grant of 500 acres. A person named Matthew Creelman also had a land grant in Amherst. We can speculate that it was Samuel's younger brother but we know little except that he disposed of his property and apparently moved away. ... | Creelman, Matthew (I5876)

| 170 | DORT, Obed Gilman, Banker, Keene, was born in Surry, New Hampshire, January 25, 1828, son of Eliphalet and Lois (Bemis) Dort. He is descended from Richard Dort, or Dart, as the name was then spelled, who came from England in 1633, settled in Connecticut, and founded a family whose members have filled most useful positions in the community. The subject of this sketch attended the common schools and academy in Keene. He left home at fifteen, and learned the trade of carriage and sign painter, and at the age of twenty-two began business in Keene, dealing in drugs, paints, and paper hangings. He continued in this business as druggist until 1875. He was active in the organization of the Keene Five-cent Savings Bank in 1869, and was its Treasurer until 1875, vvnen ne resigned and accepted the Cashiership of the Citizens' National Bank, in the organization of which he has taken an active part. In 1878 he was elected President of the bank, and has held the office ever since. He was also prominent in establishing the Keene Guaranty Savings Bank, and was Treasurer of that institution until 1892. In his younger years he was a member of the Keene Light Infantry, and held a commission as Lieutenant when the old military system was abolished. When the Rebellion broke out, Mr. Dort took a heartfelt interest in the safety of the Union, and in the fall of 1861, enlisting a company of three years' men, was commissioned Captain of Company E, Sixth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, afterwards being promoted to Major. The regiment was assigned to the Ninth Army Corps under General Burnside. The regiment accompanied the famous Burnside expedition to North Carolina, which suffered severely in the great storm off Hatteras. In the summer of 1862 it was ordered to aid General McClellan, and upon the arrival at Fortress Monroe encamped at Newport News. At this time Major Doit's wife and son Arthur, aged six years, in company with the wives of Colonel Scott and Captain Cummings visited the camp. The regiment was suddenly ordered away and the ladies started for home, taking the steamer West Point for Washington. On the trip up the Potomac on the evening of August 13th. the West Point collided with the steamer George Peabody, and almost immediately sank, Major Doit's wife and son, with both the other ladies losing their lives in this terrible disaster. Among other victims were many wounded and sick soldiers. When the collision occurred the Captain attempted to beach the boat but was unsuccessful. Colonel Scott and Dr. Newell of a Pennsylvania regiment directed their energies to saving the ladies, but as soon as a boat was lowered frantic men leaped in in such numbers that boat after boat went down until all were carried away. Then Colonel Scott and Dr. Newell lifted the ladies upon the hurricane deck and supported them until the water was above their waists. In this moment of agony and despair Colonel Scott saw a capsized boat drifting by and swam towards it with the hope of rescuing the ladies. The boat drifted by him and at the same time the steamer's deck gave way, and all upon it were thrown into the water. He endeavored to return to the weak, and finally caught an iron rod which braced the smoke stack, to which he clung until he was rescued. Dr. Newell, the ladies, and the child were swept away and lost their lives in the flood. When Major Dort enlisted in the service he had left a well-organized business in the charge of his wife, but after this terrible disaster on the Potomac, with no one to whom he could entrust the business while he remained at the front, and with the care of his one surviving child, left motherless at the age of four years, he felt it his duty to leave the service. Therefore, in the fall of 1862, he regretfully resigned his commission. To leave the service from no bodily disability, when every surrounding was satisfactory and the country was in need of every man's aid, might seem unjustifiable to the superficial observer who stayed at home to make money, but he has considered that perhaps it will be agreed that one year's service is better than none at all. While Major Dort was at the front with his regiment he participated in the battle of Elizabeth City, Camden, North Carolina, Second Hull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, and Antietam. In his younger days Major Dort was active in the clubs and societies, a Mason and an Odd Fellow, but of later years he has regarded his own home as the best club house. He was for many years Vestryman and Warden in St. James's Episcopal Church. In politics he has always been a Democrat, believing the end and aim of government should be the greatest good for the greatest number. He has held very few political offices, for in Keene the tide is very strongly Republican. In October, 1851, he was married to Julia N. Wakefield, daughter of James Wakefield of Marlborough. Of the children born of this marriage. Arthur Wakefield, born February 25, 1856, perished with his mother in the sad disaster to the West Point; Frank Oilman, born December 17. 1857, now lives in Keene; Mary Ellen Dort, born February 15, 1861, died November 27 of the same year. On December 17. 1863, Major Dort was married to Sarah Jane, daughter of Governor William Haile of Hinsdale. | Dort, Obed Gilman (I2260)

| 176 | EDWIN PULSIFER, (Denver, Colorado), son of Sidney Pulsifer, was born at Hennepin, Illinois, July 15, 1847. ^^ was fitted for college at General Russell's Commercial and Collegiate Institute, New Haven. He left the Class at the end of Freshman year and entered the banking house of S. Pulsifer and Company, Peoria, Illinois, where he remained until 1878. For a time thereafter he was teller in Northwestern Bank of Chicago. He resided from January, 1895, until 1900 in Peoria, being in the banking business again. Ill health compelled his removal to Denver in 1900, and he has remained there ever since, at times being able to act as bank teller, and periodically being laid aside by lack of health. A hard struggle indeed has it been for our jovial classmate, whose prospects seemed so bright when he was with us at New Haven. Pulsifer was married in Peoria, September i, 1869, to Miss Ella M., daughter of C. B. Day. She died December 3, 1875. They had two children: Sidney Day, born July 31, 1870, died April 13, 1903; and Flora Lucia, born March 4, 1874, died June 20, 1899. | Pulsifer, Edwin (I6052)

| 192 | Except of Francis B Perkins Biography in " The Biographical Record of Kane County, Illinois", 1898 (archive.org) FRANCIS B. PERKINS, secretary of the school board of the city of Elgin, Ill, is a native of Illinois, born in Barrington, Cook Co., Illinois, July 8, 1841, and is a representative of one of the honored pioneer families of the state, his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth (Proctor) Perkins, both of sturdy Puritan ancestry, having left their home in Essex, Massachusetts, and locating in Barrington, IL in 1838, then an almost unbroken wilderness. They at once identified themselves with the religious and educational interests of the community, and helped to shape the early influences in the right direction. In their pioneer log house was taught one of the first schools of the township, and often religious meetings were held in the same place. The colporteur and itinerant preacher of whatever creed always found a welcome, and in consequence of their open door for such guests it gained the name of Deacon's Tavern. Their first church home was with the Congregational church at Elgin, IL, six miles away, whence they made their way on the Sabbath over prairie and through woodland on foot or by the slow-going ox wagon. Later they were charter members of the Dundee Congregational church, and still later of the church at Barrington, IL, near their own farm home. They were pronounced in their views on temperance and slavery and gave all possible aid to all reforms. Their home was often the haven of rest to the black man on his way to Canada and freedom, and it was one of the many where was fostered that spirit of loyalty to the government and right that a generation later bore fruitage in an army of a million men who sprang to arms to maintain our free institutions. The father died in 1857 aged fifty-six years, his life no doubt shortened by the hardships incident to making a home under the adverse circumstances of a new country. He held honorably the office of deacon of the church for many years and though never prominent in politics was ever ready to bear his share of the responsibilities of citizenship. He had acquired a comfortable competence when he was called to lay down his life work, but the most precious legacy left his family was an unsullied name. His wife Elizabeth survived him some years, during which time she lived in Elgin, passing away in 1881 at the age of seventy-five years. She was a woman of heroic mold and the privation incident to the rough life of a new country served to bring into action the best and bravest of her nature. As in most homes transplanted from the refinements of the east, the mother felt most keenly the limited advantages for schooling that the future seemed to promise, and no toil or effort was too great so that educational advantages might be provided for the family growing up about her. A like spirit was in other homes of this region and no wonder that our present splendid school system came into existence. The subject of this sketch is one of a family of seven children of whom four reached adult age. | Perkins, Thomas (I17412)
