Biographical Sketch

ALBERT EUGENE INGALLS (B 1576-11) and

ROSA MAY DELANEY

Butler County, Iowa

Submitted by Mable Ingalls Stomprud. Mable writes: "I've been collecting some stories about my great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents lives. My dad is 92." Dad is Lawrence Eugene Ingalls, son of Albert Eugene Ingalls and Rosa May Delaney. Mable Eunice Ingalls married Calvin Henry Stomprud. They have five children: Larry Calvin, Elaine Marie, Verne Dale, Gay Darlene, Sharon Jean.

"Albert Eugene Ingalls was born March 24, 1862 in Butler County, Iowa, the third oldest of thirteen children, ten of whom were boys. His parents were James Lemuel and Elizabeth (Nichols) Ingalls. James had emigrated with his family from Allegany County, New York, to Kane County, Illinois, when James was only a few months old. Elizabeth J. Nichols was born in Essex County, New York. James and Elizabeth were married on May 9, 1858 in Kane County, Illinois, at the ages of 20 and 19, respectively. They moved to Howard County, Iowa sometime between their marriage and 1860, and then to Butler County, Iowa, sometime before 1862, as Albert was born in Butler County. In 1878, the family moved to Mapleton township, Minnehaha County, in Dakota territory, six miles north of Sioux Falls where the three youngest children were born.

"On February 22, 1885, Albert and Rosa May Delaney were married. Rosa's parents, Silvester and Margaret (Scott) Delaney had come to Dakota territory in 1866 and settled in Wayne Township, in Minnehaha County, on the Big Sioux River, six miles north of Sioux Falls. An old history book of Minnehaha County says they were the first settlers in Wayne Township. Rosa was one of six children and was three years old when the family moved there from Minnesota, where Rosa was born on September 23, 1863 at Albert Lea in Blue Earth County. Her mother, Margaret Scott Delaney, was born in Wales and was said to have been the first or second white woman in Sioux Falls when it was only a fort. Silvanus Delaney, Rosa's father, freighted with a team of oxen between Sioux Falls and Sioux City, with Yankton being the only stop between those two points. One time, he was caught in a blizzard and walked around the wagon all night to keep from freezing to death. He was a cripple, due to an accident when he was a boy of about 13 years, in which his knee joint was cut. In the fall of 1865, previous to their moving to Dakota Territory, Silvanus and his oldest daughter, Lizzie, was nine or ten years old, came to Dakota Territory from Minnesota with neighbors to homestead. He left his daughter with neighbors and went back to Minnesota to bring the rest of the family. One of his oxen died and it was the next spring before he was able to return. Rosa's name was originally Viola, but after living in a Norwegian community in Minnesota and being called Ola, she changed her name to Rosa.

"Albert's and Rosa's oldest daughter, Elizabeth, was born February 24, 1866 at Montrose in Sanborn County. On October 13, 1896, when Elizabeth (Lizzie) was ten years old, their oldest son, Lawrence Eugene, was born at Humboldt, in Minnehaha County followed by daughter, May, on November 1, 1898, and son, Walter, on October 29, 1901.

“In July, 1908, Elizabeth, then twenty-two years old, who had attended Normal School at Madison and taught school a couple of winters, came to Rapid City via railway and filed on a homestead in Mead County in Royal Center Township. Two weeks later, her mother, Rosa, joined her and filed on a half-section of desert claim adjoining Elizabeth’s. Mother and daughter returned to the farm in Minnehaha County, located nine miles north of Humboldt and all the family came by immigrant train to Wasta, South Dakota in October, 1908. At the time, Lawrence was twelve years, May was ten and Walter was seven.

"After arriving in Wasta, there was a flood, which forced them to stay in Wasta for several days and their belongings got wet. They had their cook-stove set up in their tent and the flood water got high enough to get in the oven. Kind townspeople offered to take Rosa and the children in. Albert built a sixteen foot square shelter with a flat roof over their belongings to protect them from further damage. They travelled from Wasta by team and wagon to their homestead site. Winter set in as soon as they arrived, and they lived in a tent for a month, until they had built a 16 foot x 16 foot house from lumber they hauled from Sturgis, South Dakota. Later, another 16 foot x 16 foot building, which had been used for a school was added and later yet, several other 10 foot x 10 foot buildings, which had been homesteader's shacks were added to the house.

"Elizabeth taught school in the Horse Butte School District, which was located north of their homestead. She had a large enrollment with all eight grades and very little equipment.

"With the approach of a prairie fire from the south in the fall of 1909, Elizabeth put May and Walter down in a dry well to protect them. The fire burned on both sides of the buildings, but they lost neither buildings nor haystacks.

"On January 22, 1912, Elizabeth married Charles F. Weiss, whose homestead adjoined hers and they lived on his homestead site for their 66 years of married life, except for the last few years that were spent in a nursing home. They had six children.

"Daughter, May, was married to William Weiss, who was Charles' younger brother, on November 22, 1916. They had four children.

"On August 22, 1927, Lawrence and Marie Vig were married, and Walter was married to Francys Welter on December 8, 1927. Lawrence and Marie had six children. Marie died at the birth of their sixth child, Eugene, in 1939. Francys died at the birth of their first child, Catherine, in 1928.

"Walter built a house one and one-half miles east and Lawrence lived on the old place. After Francys' death, Rosa and Albert lived with Walter until Walter's marriage to Margery Bowlby in 1930. A small house was built for Albert and Rosa about one-eighth mile east of the old homesite.

"Albert died on December 10, 1931 at the age of 69 and Rosa raised granddaughter, Catherine in the little house built for her and Albert.

"After never fully recovering from a broken hip received in a fall several years earlier, Rosa died on November 7, 1952 at the age of 89 years.

"Many of the homesteaders didn't endure, but through the perseverance of stalwart pioneers like Albert and Rosa, foundations were laid for their many descendants."

Biographical Sketch

JOHN SPENCER INGLES

1834 - 1905

John Spencer Ingles was born May 12, 1834 in Canandaigua, New York. He was the son of Addison and Lucy (Batchelor) Ingalls. He was the second child in the family, having an older brother George W. who was born in 1831. His brother Charles Huntley was born July 22, 1836. In 1837 the family moved to Norwalk Ohio and later to Milan Oh.

John was the superintendent of the Milan Canal for four or five years. By means of this canal Milan became a world leader in grain exports until it was destroyed by flood and replaced by the railroad. In 1860 he bought a farm near Milan.

On June 20, 1858 John married Jane D. McMaster in Pontiac Ohio. She was the daughter of Hiram and Philura (Degolyer) McMaster. Hiram was a farmer in Peru Ohio. Later Charles married Jane's sister Emily.

Other members of the Ingles family included:

Adaline born in 1837 who married Lenader (Leander) Butterfield

Martin born in 1840 who died in the Civil War.

Lorenzo born in 1841 who also died in the Civil War.

Tom born in 1843 who was still living in Milan in 1880

Mary who married George Hardenburg. George was also an employee of the pump factory.

The children in the McMaster family were:

Cordilia born in 1836 in Lockport New York

Jane born December 26, 1839 Peru Ohio

William born in 1837 who married Ann Clement. He served in the Civil War and later worked at the pump factory

Albert born in 1841 who married Clara Owens

Emily born November 17, 1843

James born in 1846 who married Ann Begole

Alfrata born in 1849 who married Curtis VanTilburg

Frank who was a son of Hiram and his second wife, Betsy Hodges Clement

John and his family moved to Galien, Michigan: in 1872 where he and his brother started their pump factory. According to "Historical Sketches of The Galien Woods" by Frank Noggle, the pump factory was located in the steam saw mill owned by G. A. Blakeslee. As can be seen in this document both brothers were active in the business at first. However, the initials of Charles do not appear after 1875 at which time he seems to have been replaced by his brother-in-law William McMaster.

At this time John had two children, Emma born in 1864 and Charles Delbert born in 1866. A third child, Dana Earl was born in 1878. Charles and Emily had two children, Ella and William.

In 1879 John bought a farm from James Brown. It is located to the east of the present Galien school property and opposite the Galien Township cemetery. He was a longtime member of the Odd Fellows Lodge. He died November 23, 1905 in Galien. His wife, Jane died in 1925. Charles was still living in Galien in 1900 according to the census where he was listed as a landlord. His wife, Emily however died in Illinois in 1902 and he died in 1910.

MAGAZINE COVER DESIGN POSED FOR BY VETERAN; Kankakee

The face and form, an excellent likeness, so his friends say, of a former Kankakee patriot, adorned the cover of the Saturday Evening Post of the issue of May 12. The news reached here a day or two ago.

The members of the Grand Army of the Republic will remember J. S. Ingalls, of Company G of the Twentieth Illinois regiment. Mr. Ingalls is an uncle of Mrs. M. E. Stirling, wife of M. E. Stirling, deputy sheriff, living at 655 E. Oak street. Mrs. Stirling received a copy of the magazine of May 12, a few days ago and was struck by the likeness of .the veteran painted on the cover, to that of her uncle. She did not believe at the time that the picture could be that of her uncle, but yesterday she received a letter stating that her uncle, J. S. Ingalls, had sat for the picture.

It so happens that Mr. Ingalls, who lives at Rochelle, a suburb of New York city, is a friend of the artist, Norman Rockwell, who painted the patriotic picture, which has stirred patriotic comment up and down the country. The artist painted his likeness together with the boy scout and the maiden for the cover design of the periodical.

Every one in Kankakee have felt a patriotic interest in the picture but many will have an even closer attachment for it when they learn that it is the likeness of a former Kankakee man.

At the outbreak of the Civil war Mr. Ingalls and a brother lived on a farm south of Aroma Park. The brothers believed that one of them should volunteer. The elder brother was married and Mr. Ingalls volunteered to go. He enlisted in Company G of the Twentieth Illinois infantry at Chebanse in 1861 and served through the war. Some of the Kankakee men who were his comrades in the war were William and John Frith, Frank Chester and Peter Finney.

Mr. Ingalls left Kankakee about 1885, but has always taken an active part in the reunions and other activities of the old soldiers. From their memory of Mr. Ingalls, Kankakee people are confident that he is deserving of the honor that is his.

Russle was honored very nicely as on Monday evening of the wake all area Fire Departments came in as a unit. Then all area Veterans organizations came in as a unit. The Masonic Lodge gave a funeral Mass.

The next day the funeral was escorted by the Aroma Park Fire Truck and Fire Chief car. When the procession got to Aroma Park, the flag was flying at half staff over the village hall.

Taken in Life's Bloom.

Again has our community been called upon to mourn the departure of one of our loved ones in the death of Mrs. Lyman Merrick nee Stella Ingalls, who died on the 29th inst. after a brief illness of diphtheria. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church on Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Con. Haney, assisted by a Kankakee choir consisting of Messrs. McGrew, Durham and Christian. The discourse was founded on John 6:47. The choir rendered choice selections appropriate to the occasion. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the house was well filled, quite a number being from Kankakee, also Mrs. Goble from Chicago, and Mr. Peck, from Lombard, uncle and aunt of the deceased. The remains were laid away in a beautiful casket surmounted by handsome wreaths comprised of calla lilies and evergreens. The bearers were W. S. Halsey, Fred and Ed Durfee, J. Munoey, of Kankakee, and Alvin Skelly and Thos. White, Jr., of Waldron. Stella Ingalls from infancy has been reared in our midst, living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Ingalls, until a year ago last December, when she was married to Lyman Merick, and moved to the farm a mile north of town, where she resided until her death at the age of twenty. When we take a retrospect of the past we are reminded of the uncertainty of life as but a few days since she was upon our streets the bloom of health with a prospect of long life and happiness before her, but the reaper took her in the morning of life and we are saddened that one so lovely could have a life so brief. We sincerely sympathize for the young husband who is called upon to mourn his great loss, also the afflicted parents and brothers and sisters.
Waldron, Feb. 27. (1888)

Reprints are still available of The Genealogy and History of the Ingalls Family in America compiled and published in 1903 by Charles Burleigh, M.D. If you are thinking of getting a reprint of this book, order as soon as possible.

The first copy is $15, additional copies $10, plus $1 postage for each book ordered. Order from: Linda Ingalls Wright . . . .

We get letters! Many of you are wondering what is happening to the supplemental book Linda and I are compiling from the many family group sheets, charts, notes and letters the Ingalls clan has submitted to be included in this edition. We are working away at it and Linda reports it is coming but slow. We are still accepting all information as well as corrections, and new statistics. Thank you for your patience and support of this project.

From the editor: Thank you all for the many notes and cards I received this past holiday season. It is nice to be remembered.

I received a note from Walter LaMotte, MI who has been working on his line. "Last summer I heard from one of my out of town cousins. We had been writing back and forth, and he came to Flint from Florida to do some research. He called, we met and the four of us had lunch and a real nice visit. All of this because of the Inquirer. I sure hope I can meet a lot more of our big family."

Just a reminder about the 1989 Reunion Calendar! Send in your notices even though they may be held before the July issue comes out. Most reunions are held approximately the same date each year but check with last year's host to be sure.

Submitted by Lou Ellen Simmons, DeRidder, LA, about the oldest homesteader in the nation. Can anyone tell us more about this family? Who was Bertha Ingalls' husband .. did she have a family? This article was published in 1962.

OLDEST HOMESTEADER--Mrs. Bertha Ingalls, 94, Colorado Springs, Colo., has been designated the oldest homesteader in the nation. Title to the Ingalls homestead was issued on March 3, in 1893. (photo omitted)

Moonlight

Moonlight itself need make no sound.
Its silent call the rabbits hear
and form in circles on the grass.
Far down the hill the hounds rejoice.
The dappled woods send back their voice.
The sleeper, turning on his bed,
finds fairy music at his head
(Titania's friends are being wed).
The elfin players gather 'round
as moonlight itself need make no sound.
Iolanl Ingalls

LIBERATED GRANDMOTHERS

In the dim and distant past, 
when life's tempo wasn't fast, 
Grandma used to rock and knit,
crochet, tat and baby sit.
When the kids were in a jam, 
they could always call on Gram. 
In that day of gracious living, Grandma 
was the gal for giving.
But today she's in the gym, 
exercising to keep thin.
She's off touring with the bunch, 
or taking clients out to lunch. 
Going north to ski or curl,
all her days are in a whirl.
Nothing seems to stop or block her, 
now, that she is off her rocker.

IN 1878, the Ingalls moved back to Walnut Grove temporarily before moving on to De Smet, S.D. Here, three hours west of Walnut Grove, Minn. on US 14, the wagon wheels stopped rolling for Charles and Caroline Ingalls. De Smet is the setting for five of Laura's books: "By the Shores of Silver Lake," "The Long Winter," "Little Town on the Prairie," "These Happy Golden Years" and "The First Four Years."

Sites of interest include the original surveyors house the family lived in from 1879-'80, a replica of the school where 15-year-old Laura taught in the book, "These Happy Golden Years," the location of the family's countryside claim shanty, Laura and Almanzo's first homestead, and the cemetery where the Ingalls family - except for Laura and Almanzo - are buried.

On De Smet's 3rd St., visitors can see the last home that Charles Ingalls built in 1887. Today, it serves as a museum. Laura never lived or wrote in this home, but visited often and was at her father's side when he died here.

De Smet hosts an outdoor pageant during the last weekend in June and the first two weeks in July. Now in its 18th season, the pageant re-enacts scenes from the books, complete with authentic costumes and furnishings. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for children. The pageant starts each evening at 8:45 p.m.

Tours of the surveyor's house and the home on 3rd St. are available, for a fee, from May 30 to September 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information write: The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society Inc., Box 344, De Smet, S.D. 57231.

FOR LAURA the trail of little houses did not end in De Smet. After the first four years there, Laura and Almanzo decided to try their luck elsewhere and moved south to the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. Here, near Mansfield, they built their home and raised their daughter Rose, who grew up to be a famous writer before her mother. This is where Laura died in 1957 at the age of 90 and where she, Almanzo and Rose are, buried.
