In 1829 he was appointed deacon, and consecrated to the Presbyter in 1831. In the next few years he was a wanderer, and in 1836 he became a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society. After his first wife, Caroline Beckley, born Walker, died on 18 May 1839 in Northfield and left him with five children, Beckley married again and moved with his children to Ann Arbor, where a brother and a sister were already living. There he was active in his brother's commercial house, founded the Michigan Anti-Slavery Society, and became editor of the newspaper Signal of Liberty, which was committed to the liberation of the slaves. In addition, he was a major contributor to the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves from the southern states escape to the north of the US and further to Canada. | Beckley, Guy (I14282)

| 7012 | from Wikitree biography from GEDCOM by Alyson X, 5 Jul 2011 He died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Louisa R. Gerrish on Main Street, suffered from paralysis of throat. Jonathan at the age of ten, family moved to Fairhaven and lived in Nasketucket. Attended school for a while and became a teacher for one winter in Rochester. Became a clerk at R.H.White & Company & later entered the employ, as traveling salesman, of H.B.Claffin, New York. While there the war broke out and he enlisted for nine months in the army. Upon the expiration of his term he returned to Fairhaven. He called the first war meeting in Fairhaven which was held in Phoenix Hall and later opened a recruiting office where E.S.Whiting's market is today. Mr. Cowen assisted in forming the pioneer corps and he again enlisted in the 3d Massachusetts Cavalry. He served all through the war and was in several very severe engagements, in one of which he was wounded in the thigh and had three horses shot from under him. His knee was caught under the pommel of the saddle and broken. He served on the staff of General Witzell, and under Sheridan and Banks, and through bravery won successive promotions to sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. When the war ended he was in line for promotion to the office of colonel. When Captain he was in charge of the preparations for blowing up Fort Hudson and there were a number of local veterans serving under him at the time. It is now a matter of history that when everything was prepared the fort was surrendered. At the end of the war he again entered the employ of H.B. Claffin who placed him in charge of a large store in Galveston, Texas, where he remained for a number of years. He afterwards, in company with his brother Edward, entered the lumber business and in connection with this the building of railroad bridges, in which lines they were very successful. In the early 80's Major Cowen retired and returned to Fairhaven. A daughter and a brother Edward P. Cowen of Baker City, Ohio, and a sister Mrs. Louisa R. Gerrish, survive him. Major Cowen attended Friends' Academy, Providence, and the Fairhaven High School. He was a member of the High School Association. | Cowen, Jonathan Emerson (I13537)

| 7019 | from written biography (findagrave.com) A.W. Fowler was born in Texas in 1837. He moved to the Central Texas area where he was mustered into service as a private on September 27, 1861. Fowler was a member of the 6th Texas Infantry Company A. After the regiment was created, it proceeded to Arkansas. The regiment was taken prisoner here at Fort Hindman, Arkansas Post, Arkansas on January 11, 1863. Fowler was among the men captured and was sent to Camp Butler, Springfield, Illinois. The regiment was exchanged with the Confederacy and was sent east of the Mississippi to Tennessee. Here they were consolidated with the 10th Texas Infantry and the 15th Texas Cavalry in May 1863. This new regiment participated in several battles in Tennessee. They were first engaged in Chickamauga, then in Nashville, next Murfreesboro and finally in Bentonville. Fowler states he ended his service on September 1, 1864, but military records show him being enrolled in St. Mary's U.S.A. Hospital in Montgomery Alabama for unknown battle injuries in 1865. After the war Fowler worked as a farmer and laborer. By 1898 he was living in Austin, Texas and on June 19, 1918, he was admitted to the Confederate Home. Fowler died of paralysis on November 1, 1918 at the age of 81. | Fowler, Alexander W (I59)

| 7026 | GEORGE HILL, JR. M. E. Grand High Priest in 1883 died suddenly at Masonic Home at Alma, on Sunday at high noon October 3, 1920. He was taken to his old home in Portland where he had a sister living and was buried with Masonic honors by Portland Lodge No. 31, F. & A. M. Representatives from the Grand Chapter and the Grand Council were present. Alma Chapter, with whom he had worked for several years, seldom missing a meeting, also sent a good representation. George Hill, Jr., was born in Spring Arbor, Jackson County, Michigan, on June 25, 1839. He was educated in the public schools of Portland, after which he took up the occupation of foundry man. He resided in Portland until 1885, when he removed to California. He was made Master Mason in Portland Lodge No. 31, F. & A. M., being initiated February 22, and raised March 26, 1861, his father, George Hill, Sr., conferring the degrees. He was elected Master of his Lodge in 1866 and filled that station continuously until 1882. He received the Chapter degrees in Ionia Chapter, No. 14, completing the Royal Arch degree on February 24, 1865, immediately taking a demit for the purpose of joining in organizing a new Chapter at Portland, which was done March 10, 1865, his father being the first High Priest. He was elected High Priest in 1867, afterwards serving as Secretary. In 1870 he was elected Grand Captain of the Host in the Grand Chapter of Michigan, steadily advancing until he filled the station of Grand High Priest, in 1883, serving one year. He demitted November 5, 1886, after removing west. He was affiliated again December 12, 1913. He passed the circle of perfection in Ionia Council No. 12 in 1868 and with eight others immediately took demits and organized Portland Council No. 23, which was chartered January 8, 1868. He was Thrice Illustrious Master of that body for five years following. After filling the subordinate stations he was elected Grand Master of the Grand Council in 1876 and served one year. He was demitted in 1889 after moving to California but on returning he again affiliated with his old home council, December 10, 1913. He was the last one of the charter members of both his Chapter and Council, and out of a large attendance only three members of his Lodge were present at the funeral that had been raised by him in the sixteen years he served as Master. For the last few years he made his home at the Masonic Home at Alma. He was much interested and spent much time in gardening. As a token of respect to the memory of our distinguished companion and of our affection for him, it is ordered that this memorial be read at the first regular convocation after its receipt, and that it be preserved in the memorial record of the chapter prepared for that purpose. It is further ordered that the charter and altar be draped in mourning for the space of sixty days thereafter. By order of (Seal) CHAS. J. GRAY, M. E., Grand High Priest. Attest: CHAS. A.

| 7030 | George Sibley & the Hennepin Shooting Club During the early 1950's, Joe French one of the first Midwest decoy collectors traveled extensively along the Illinois River collecting old wooden hunting blocks. He often visited with the local sportsmen asking about the old decoy makers and gathering as much information as he could while he built his collection. One day in 1952, he bought a gunnysack full of blocks in Putman, Illinois. Among the rig was a neat little bluebill hen with a "Patent Applied for 1899" stenciled on the bottom of her wide v-bottomed body. The bill was mitered into her head and appeared to be carved of a different hardwood than the rest of the decoy. Another body by the same maker was split exposing a hollow pine cavity with a piece of strap metal lain inside the base of the decoy to make it self-righting. Since that day, French has been looking for the identity of the maker of his little bluebill hen. In 1968, Hal Sorenson published an article by French entitled, "Mr. X, Mr.Y ; Mr. Z; in his magazine, Decoy Collector's Guide. In this piece, French introduced other collectors to favorite decoy that he still couldn't identify, but recognized as a great Illinois River decoy. Labeling the maker as Mr.X, he said: "I have run into these 'hardbills' from LaSalle down to Beardstown, scattered at regular internals on the Illinois River...and have found several on the Mississippi. Charlie Perdew did not know who made them, and neither did the countless other carvers and hunters who I have chased down on wild leads. For almost 40 years, French and various other collectors have been searching for the identity of Mr. X with no success. My husband, Joe and I have a wonderful Mr. X widgeon in our collection, and it is one of our favorites too, so we have often wondered who made these birds. Joe Tonelli has spent as much time as anybody looking for decoys on the Illinois and has become an avid waterfowling history buff as well as a collector. He has been fortunate to come across lots of old letters, records and other printed materials about he hunting clubs in our area of the Illinois River. Not long ago, he was shuffling through some papers he found relating to the Hennepin Shooting Club which was started in 1887 and disbanded in 1914, when he spotted an old ad for a decoy company he had never heard of before, Sibley Co., Manufacturers of the Sibley Decoy". He couldn't believe what he read in that pamphlet: It is the only decoy made with a hardwood inserted bill (patent applied for)... Our decoys are weighted on the inside... having a leather loop on the bottom to attach the anchor string. This was a description of the Mr. X. decoy! This first lead led Joe from Hennepin, Illinois to Whitehall, Michigan to Chicago, to Colorado, to Texas and, finally to Tennessee. Here is the story of French's Mr. X. decoy. Sibley Co., which was owned, by father and son, James A. and George M. Sibley of Chicago, Illinois, manufactured the decoys. The Sibley family genealogy is studded with members who played notable part in American history, and is considered to be one the old guard American families that can trace its roots back to early settlers who came to the New England Colonies in 1629 in the Winthrop's Fleet. James Sibley was the patriarch of the Sibley's involved with the decoy company. He was one of the original members of the Chicago Board of Trade. His son was James A. Sibley who it appears provided the financial backing for his son's decoy making project since he was in his late sixties when Sibley Co. was in operation. It was George who was an avid waterfowler and one of the original members of the Hennepin Shooting Club and the club secretary for several years. Much of the initial information we found came from the club's records and Sibley's letters. The Hennepin Shooting Club was established in 1887. Letters between the club's president and the landowner of the grounds the club would lease lamented the areas poor hunting conditions in 1886 caused by lack of control on the shooting area and the need for organization and a caretaker. Since the men purposing the club were all successful Chicago businessmen who loved to hunt, money was no problem. The land was leased and a large houseboat built to serve as the clubhouse. The houseboat was moored at the mouth of Brimfield Slough, which emptied into the Illinois River and lead to Hennepin Lake and its watershed. This boat was eventually moved into the town of Hennepin and made into a house that still stands with several additions. The club grounds consisted of the lands that are now known as the Hennepin Drainage District. The club was disbanded in 1914 when Hennepin Lake and its watershed were drained. The club's membership reorganized and formed the Senechwine Gun Club on the opposite side of the Illinois River, which is still in existence as one of the most prestigious duck hunting clubs on the Illinois River. Sibley's identity was so elusive because he stopped hunting in Illinois in 1901 and moved to Colorado, stopping the production of his decoys and taking his hunting rig with him. According to his descendants, George continued to hunt waterfowl using his decoys in Colorado until his death in 1938. George lived and worked in Chicago prior to this move. It seems that he set up the decoy factory in Whitehall, Michigan around 1899 when he applied for his patent because his cousin had a large lumber mill there. His correspondences mentions going to Whitehall, but most are from the Chicago address of his other's business, a commission merchant house, where George worked. The Sibley decoy Pamphlet described the decoy as being modeled and painted from specimens furnished us by the best taxidermist in Chicago. James Cunningham, Hennepin, the first club caretaker was a great friend of George. In fact when a new caretaker was hired to replace Cunningham, he was advised by George not to contact any of the members if the hunting got really good unless they wrote to him first. Members of the club passed a by-law forbidding this practice after Cunningham was accused of alerting George and not the others of good hunting days. Cunningham produced the Senachwine Skiff, a 16-foot punt boat made of sheet iron that was popular on the Illinois River. He also made duck calls, so, it is likely that he may have helped George design his decoys. George's son recalls watching his father repairing his decoys in the basement workshop of his Colorado home, but never actually making any decoys. We believe that the Sibley decoys were manufactured on a production line like the Mason decoys. The parts were turned on a lathe, hand-finished, assembled and painted. The Sibley Co. produced mallard, canvasback, redhead, bluebill, ringbill, pintail, widgeon, blue-winged and green-winged teal decoys which were shipped by the dozen, six drakes and six hens, for twelve dollars. Flat bell shaped anchors and strings dyed a neutral color were added for fifty cents per dozen. The finely carved heads with quality taxidermist eyes were finished off with bills that could be carved down to realistic proportions because they were made of hardwood, thus creating natural looking decoys. The two-piece bodies appear to have been hollowed out by machine because the cavity was terraced. As mentioned before a strip of strap steel was set into the body cavity. The practice and the mitered bills were the features that George tried to patent. A small leather strap was affixed to the underside of each breast for an anchor line. The paint patterns used on all the Sibley decoys were simple with no wet blending of the paints. The back of the drakes were vermiculated and set of with bold wing patches. The hens' back were crudely feathered with the same wing patches. All of the bottoms were coated with a heavy layer of white lead paint and "PATENT APPLIED FOR 1899" was stamped on them in ink. Some of the decoys were factory stamped with an "L" in the center of a diamond. The reason for this stamp is still unknown. So the Mr. X decoy still retains some of its mysteries. | Sibley, George Murdock (I820)

| 7039 | Haile (1807 - 1876) was born at Putney (VT). He had little if any schooling. In 1821 his family moved to Chesterfield (NH), and a year later, at fifteen years of age, Haile moved in with the family of Ezekial Pierce, a store owner at Chesterfield. In 1823 Haile began work as a clerk for Mr. Pierce, and he continued there until 1828. Then, aged twenty-one, Haile married (Sabrina Shaw Walker), borrowed some money and started his own store, at Centre Village (NH). Haile continued at Centre Village until 1835, when he heard about abundant waterpower at Hinsdale (NH). Convinced that Hinsdale would be a good place to relocate, Haile relocated. He continued his store until 1846, when he went into the lumber business. The Hinsdale textiles company of Haile & Todd (later Haile, Frost & Co.) specialized in "cashmerette", an inexpensive imitation of the luxury woolen fabric. Haile was elected a State Representative (1846 - 1850, 1853), and a State Senator (1854, 1855; President of the Senate, 1855). He was a State representative again in 1856, then ran (as a Republican) for the governorship and won. He repeated in 1858. Governor Haile opposed extending slavery to new American states and territories, and he opposed the Supreme Court's support for the Fugitive Slave Law (in the 1857 Dred Scott decision). Adopting Know-Nothing positions on immigrants, Haile opposed the public sale of spirits, and continued immigration. He established a state reform school, and wanted a State Normal School as well (the legislature finally created one in 1870). In retirement Haile continued his business at Hinsdale; but he moved to Keene (NH) in 1873. He died in 1876. | Haile, Hon William (I1512)
