14667 Gen. Moses Cleaveland was a lawyer, politician, soldier and surveyor from Connecticut who founded the city of Cleveland, Ohio, while surveying the Western Reserve in 1796. He studied law at Yale University, graduating in 1777. That same year, with the American Revolutionary War in progress, he was commissioned as an ensign in the 2nd Connecticut Regiment of the Continental Army. In 1779 he was promoted to captain of a company of "sappers and miners" (combat engineers) in the newly formed Corps of Engineers. He resigned from the army on June 7, 1781 and started a legal practice in Canterbury.

There are several theories as to how the place once called Cleaveland became known as Cleveland. The most popular is that the printer of a new newspaper in 1830 found the name too long to fit the masthead, so omitted the "a" from the first syllable to shorten the name to the Cleveland Advertiser. The spelling was promptly adopted by the public.

14672 George Belcher Gaston founded the town of Tabor, Iowa in 1852 and Tabor College. He was "first identified as a young farmer with a missionary spirit. He lived near Oberlin, Ohio. So intense became his mission zeal that he obtained a commission under the American Board of Missions to work among the Pawnee Indians in a territory that later became Nance County in Nebraska. He worked among the Pawnees four years.... When his wife was taken ill, they returned to Ohio, and he became more closely acquainted with Oberlin's history. He conceived the plan of developing a similar community with its colony patterned after Oberlin College. His idea led to its reality...." Enlisting the aid of Deacon Samuel H. Adams and Rev. John Todd (who left a ministry in Clarksfield, Ohio), they and their families took out claims for the town in April 1852. The terrain led them to name the town "Tabor," after the Biblical name of Mount Tabor, a mountain near Nazareth. George B. Gaston's plan for a college was soon put into motion, and Tabor College's first incarnation, Tabor Literary Institute, opened on Nov 3 1857.

Meanwhile, the area had come to the attention of John Brown, the famous abolitionist. Born in Connecticut in 1800, Brown moved to New York in 1849 to promote his abolitionist ideas. In 1857, he moved to Kansas, where five of his sons had moved the year before. Continuing his abolitionist mission, Brown became involved in kidnapping and smuggling slaves across the border into Nebraska and Iowa. "With his 'underground railroad' functioning, Brown left Kansas. Brown became aware that the settlers of Tabor were sympathetic to his cause. He also viewed Tabor's location as close-by to set up a station from which smuggled slaves could be relayed to Canada.... John Brown, often accompanied by his four sons, frequently came to Tabor. There were some occasions in which he would remain in town weeks at a time." The home of George B. Gaston was among those in Tabor where John Brown was entertained and that Brown and his associates used for slave hideaways.

When George's sister Emala and her husband Julius Hume died at early ages, George and his wife Maria took in Emala's young son Loren and raised him as their son.

In July 1925, George B. Gaston's son Alexander Cummings Gaston wrote a 3-1/2 page typewritten manuscript entitled "An Account of the Journey of the G. B. Gaston Family from Ohio to Southwestern Iowa, and Something of their Life in Civil Bend and Tabor in the Early Days." A short addendum was subsequently provided by Alexander's daughter Cora Gaston Rice, based on stories of those times related to her by her father.

14673 George Buff's age and implied year of birth vary widely among the various censuses. The 1900 Census shows it as Oct 1869, while the date on his headstone is 19 Oct 1874.

14675 George H. Thomas's obituary states that he was buried "at family cemetery some miles back from old homestead." Footstone markers with the initials of George H. Thomas and his wife Sarah are found at Sigler Cemetery. The markers have no dates. It is unclear how Sigler Cemetery got its name. Thomas Bond (1792-1862) refers to it as the Adam Thomas Grave Yard in his 1862 will. Thomas Bond owned the land and left it to his son George Bond and Tobias Moore. THOMAS, George H. (I40274)

14683 German birth and baptism records show that Anna Maria Ruppert was born on Sep 1 1840 and baptized Sep 6 1840 in Katholisch, Westhofen, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt.

14688 GLADYS AMELIA COOPER
Gladys Amelia Cooper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. (sic) W. Cooper, passed away at her home on Block House hill, Saturday, October 26, after a brief illness of influenza, aged 16 years, 2 months, and 21 days.
She leaves father, mother, two sisters and two brothers to mourn her loss.
The death of this young lady is sad indeed, as the whole family, except the father, are confined to their home with influenza.
She was a good, kind, loveable girl and was highly respected by all who knew her.
Funeral services were conducted at 3 p.m. by Rev. G. W. Burdette, of the local U.B. church, at the Ruley cemetery, in charge of A. J. Osborn, funeral director.
The good people of West Union and Arnolds Creek have shown their loyalty to these good people by able assistance and kindness during their sad trial.

NICHOLSON, Gracie Jane (I95139)
 
14700 Graduate of Doddridge County High School (1945) and attended Salem College, Salem, WV, 1945-46. Worked for two years in the office of the Ford garage in West Union. Upon her marriage to Armand Brown in 1946, she moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where Armand's family had moved from West Union while he was overseas during World War II. From 1962 to 1974, she worked as cashier and office worker for A&P food stores in Youngstown and vicinity. In June 1974, with Armand's heart problems preventing him from continuing his job with A&P in Youngstown, they returned to Doddridge County, moving into the house on Oxford Road, at Cabin Run, where Geneva had lived with her family for about five years prior to her marriage. From then until his death in 1985, Armand and Geneva operated what had been her parents' small grocery store adjacent to the family home, changing the name from Gaston's Grocery to Brown's Grocery. With her brother Sam, Geneva was a driving force and principal compiler of this genealogy. GASTON, Geneva Pauline (I2)
