49001 The Noggles and Drollingers established themselves in the wilderness that challenged pioneer settlers. Although the Treaty of Greenville (1795) ended Indian control, Indians still roamed. The treaty did not require them to leave and for a time they remained peaceful as settlers straggled into these areas. The occasional run-in kept settlers nervous, but the catalyst for further conflict was Tecumseh, the great Shawnee Indian who created an Indian confederacy. Neither Darke nor Preble saw pitched battles but frequent skirmishes kept settlers on edge. Once Tecumseh was killed in Ontario in 1813, the settlers turned their complete attention to their very existence in this area of great promise. They had land but not farms. Clearing the land to make it suitable for agriculture took strength, persistence, and cooperation. Although the great forests provided timber for cabins, furniture, and wagons, as well as cooking and heating, crops could not be raised until the land could be plowed even roughly. Once planted, the crop yields hinged on weather and pests. Harvest over, the grains had to be milled, perhaps at a distance. An example of the frustration encountered by settlers is detailed in the History of Darke County: "Daniel Riegel [neighbor of Elizabeth and John] relates that, as late as the winter of 1842-43, he went to Covington from Butler Township with a grist, found several others ahead of him and the mill frozen up; left his grain and returned home till the weather softened, then went back and helped to loosen the wheel, at the first revolution of which, the weight of ice that went over broke the wheel; after which, he was compelled to take his grist to a mill on the Whitewater, below, Paris, traveling in all, going and coming, over ninety miles to get this flour." Also ever present on the frontier was the risk of injury and illness which makes the survival of this prolific family remarkable.
John's parents George and Catharine Noggle, were Germans from Pennsylvania who came to Darke County about 1816 after a brief stop in Fairfield County. John was born during their stay in Fairfield County on 6 June 1812. Neither John nor his brothers and sisters were infected with wanderlust. They were content to spend their lives, scattered throughout Darke County. Younger brother Michael's biography says their parents settled first in Neave Township and then in Harrison Township. John and Elizabeth were in Neave Township in 1840, but lived most of their years in Butler Township. Their economic progress is clear, increasing with their burgeoning their family. John's real estate was valued at $2,500 in 1850, $4,000 in 1860, and $14,000 by 1870 when he had retired and moved to the close by town of New Madison, Harrison Township. The townships of Neave, Butler, and Harrison touch in one corner, so the Noggles' moves were short distances.
New Madison was becoming quite civilized by the time the Noggles moved there. The town passed an ordinance 1 May 1869, making it illegal for hogs to run loose after the first of May unless they had rings in their noses. In an early attempt at sheltering the homeless the village paid residents for boarding tramps, but at the same time they gave an incentive to the village marshal to jail the tramps. He was awarded ten cents for every locked up tramp and in one month he received $30 for his industry.
John was retired in 1870, but at an early 58 years old perhaps he had been in failing health for some time. He died of congestion of the lungs 12 July 1870, less than a month after the census was taken. His death left New Madison without a mayor, and he almost waited too long to leave a will. The will was dated 7 July 1870 and presented for probate 28 July 1870. It was an uncomplicated will leaving real and personal property to Elizabeth and at her death to be divided equally among his children or their heirs, except Cecelia Noggle who was bequeathed $2.00. He was so adamant in this exclusion that he mentioned it twice - once in relation to the real estate and again in relation to the personal property. Cecelia was the wife of his son Allen; one wonders what she did to anger her father-in-law.
John stipulated that his personal property was not to be sold at public auction. This may indicate a private person who did not want his worldly goods paraded before his neighbors. The only other microfilmed estate record is the final settlement wherein executors George N. and William, his sons, reported remaining assets of $7,465 with $7,941.67 paid out and they were due $476.67.
John described the land he gave to Elizabeth as Lot 22 in New Madison, where they were living, and the east of the southeast , section 1, township 10, range 1 east, 79 acres in Harrison Township, presumably where they lived before moving to town. Lot 22 was right on Main Street, a block from the post office and only three blocks from the Universalist Church and Cemetery. The same 1875 atlas depicting the layout of New Madison shows the 79 acres belonging to John Noggle, probably John, Jr.. Elizabeth died 11 November 1874, only four months after the final settlement of John's estate. No estate records were found on film for Elizabeth. The personal property could have been divvied up informally and the property dispersal recorded in the deed books. John Jr. may have bought out his siblings or they may have received other property before John Sr.'s death. The latter scenario is suggested in son George's biography and perhaps confirmed by the real estate values listed for sons David, William, and Allen in 1860. David, 25, has holdings of $4,000; William, 23 and still at home, has property listed at $1,200; Allen, only 20, has $1,500 worth of property. It would be unusual for young farmers to have so much wealth. Onsite research in Darke County will finish the story. But for now John and Mary rest silently in the First Universalist Church Cemetery surrounded by many of their kin. Kay Germain Ingalls 2003

49002 The Northeastern reporter, Volume 106 By West Publishing Company, Page 428, Drollinger vs. Drollinger, Appeal from Circuit Court, Fountain County, Oct 15, 1914. Elsie Drollinger originally sued Frederick D. Drollinger for divorce and won alimony. However, because she had committed adultery, the appelate court reversed the original court finding and did not award her alimony as a result of her adultery. Frederick is listed as "Frederick D. Drollinger" and Elsie is listed as "Elsie Drollinger". Also, the judgment mentions the death of Frederick since the trial.

(57 Ind. App. 115) DROLLINGER T. DROLLINGER. (No. 8436.)
(Appellate Court of Indiana, Division No 2. Oct 15, 1914.)
Di Vobce (J 235*) Alimony Unfaithful Wife.
Where, in a wife's action for divorce, a divorce is granted to the husband on his cross-bill on proof of the wife's infidelity, an order allowing her alimony is an abuse of discretion.
[Ed. Note.?For other cases, see Divorce, Cent. Dig. § 665; Dec. Dig. §235.*]
Appeal from Circuit Court, Fountain County; I. E. Schoonover, Judge.
Suit by Elsie A. Drollinger against Frederick D. Drollinger for divorce. A decree of absolute divorce was granted to defendant on his cross-bill, and from so much of the decree as allowed plaintiff alimony, he appeals. Reversed.
Valentine E. Livengood, of Covington, for appellant
IBACH, P. J. Appellee brought this action against appellant for a divorce on the grounds of cruel and Inhuman treatment Appellant filed a cross-complaint asking a divorce on the ground that appellee had been guilty of adultery. The court granted appellant a divorce on his cross-complaint, and allowed appellee $500 alimony; the evidence showing that appellant was worth about $1,400.
The court erred in allowing alimony, since the finding in appellant's favor on his cross complaint is a finding that appellee was guilty of adultery, the only ground for divorce therein alleged. A court that grants alimony to a wife who has yielded her person to intercourse with a man not her husband abuses its discretion. No alimony should be allowed in such cases. This proposition is well settled by the decision in the case of Spaulding v. Spaulding, 133 Ind. 122, 32 N. E.224, 36 Am. St. Rep. 534, and is also supported by the following authorities: Spitler v. Spitler, 108 111. 120; Goldsmith v. Goldsmith,6 Mich. 285; Robards v. Robards (Ky.) 110 S. W. 422; Dollius v. Dolllns (Ky.) 83 S. W. 95; 1 Bishop, Marriage and Divorce, | 861. The court should have sustained appellant's motion to annul and modify the judgment for alimony.
Appellee has not briefed the case, and has not resisted the appeal.
The judgment is reversed, with Instructions to sustain appellant's motion to modify so much of the decree as awards alimony, and to vacate and annul that allowance As to all other matters, the decree is affirmed, and, as the death of appellant since the trial has been suggested, this mandate is to be effective as of date of submission.

49003 The obituary of William Jackson (Jasper) Shufflebarger: W. J. Shufflebarger was born November 12, 1832 in Pulaski County, Virginia. On September 21, 1854, he was married to Keziah Wygal, with whom he lived until February 13, 1907, when God called him to his reward. From the close of the Civil War he had been a great sufferer with rheumatism, brought on by exposure. He professed religion at Marion, Virginia in a meeting held by Rev. George Stuart sometime during the war. After the war he moved back to his home in Bland County. In 1870 he sold his home and moved to Lee County, near the Hurricane. He had been class leader at his home in Bland. He was Sunday School superintendent at the Hurricane for a number of years. He was postmaster at Dryden, Virginia for the last ten years of his life. His office was well kept. For six or seven years he went on crutches. His wife was a faithful helpmate indeed. He always held family prayers with his children, and was anxious for them to live right, and so advised them. He took la-grippe and did not seem dangerous until a day or so before he died. A good man has gone to rest. We know where to find him.

49004 The old German or the original immigrant was a man of mystery to me for many years. It was my father's first cousin, Nancy Drollinger's husband, Leroy Perry who as a young attorney found the court cases in the Butler County Courthouse on him. One for running a tippling house without a license. One for assault and battery on a Conrad Klotzbaugh and two counts of tampering with the ballots while serving as foreman of the elections. His birthplace eluded discovery for many years until I tumbled on the idea of searching churches in the surrounding area for clues. It was my father who found the record of his burial in a church one mile away in Saxonburg which gave his town of birth . It was a church that once upon a time had been Lutheran but converted. They had a couple German exchange students who translated the old German script into English for them. With that information I wrote first to the main Archiv in Baden. They sent my query to the Archiv in Karlsruhe. I wrote to the Burgermeister of Ellmendingen. He sent me back a letter from the local pastor confirming the birth of Gustav, a page out of the phone book and a history of the village. I wrote to a Gustav Drollinger but unfortunately he had passed away so my letter went through several hands until it ended up in his son Rudi's possesion. Mean while I wrote to a Werner Drollinger and he didn't have the time so he gave it to his sister. His sister and his children went into the old church books and after researching both their lines sent me five generations back. As I was in the Army at the time I was fortunate enough to be stationed in Germany for 3 years and got to meet my unknown cousins and enjoy some of southern German hospitality.

A lot of his life remains shrouded in mystery and what has been discovered about him raises more questions. I first thought he arrived in the USA in 1842 being confirmed by the facts of his buying 310 acres in Clearfied Township, Butler County in July 1842 and his uncle taking the oath of Intention to become a citizen in 1847. Then I tumbled to the NYC arrival that was indexed under "Drullinger" Gastav. He arrived 4 June 1839 on the ship Waverly out of Le Harve. What he did while in New York remains a mystery. As is why he came to western Pennsylvania. I at first thought he returned to New York City to marry his wife. As it turns out I wasn't paying close enough attention to the Indenture. It was a mortgage rather than a deed and was done in New York City. "Between Philip Frey formerly of the County of Allegheny in the State of Pennsylvania, now of the City, County and State of New York and Christine his wife of the first part and Gustav Frederick Drollinger of the second part. It states that Philip Frey was indebted to Gustav for the sum of $985." Exactly how Gustav managed to accumulate this debt is unknown. So the sequence of events was mortgaging for 310 acres of land. Then marriage to Magdalena Braun of Graben and finally moving to Butler county Pennsylvania. Which raises the questions of where did he know her from and when did they meet? Probably from going to the same church.

Yet he moved around quite a bit which is rather obvious by his naming his "good friend Gottlieb Seif of Allegheny" as the executor of his will. He wrote his will in 1853 while living in Buffalo Township rather than Jefferson. Gottleib in turn named him as the executor of his will. He died in 1858 but his friend predeceased him in 1856. There is no doubt of the friendship between the two as Gottlieb and his wife were the Godparents of Gustav's first four children baptized in St Mark's Lutheran Church in Butler. Gustav also witnessed Gottlieb's will (copy in my possession). Gottleib was from the nearby village of Langensteinbach in Baden. Did he know him there or where did they meet? For that matter where did he get the money to travel from Germany to the USA let alone buy land? According to the History of Allegheny County 1886 Gottleib came to the USA in 1828. The census of 1850 gives Gottleib's age as 48. Gustav named his third son Philipp Gottlieb in his honor. If the German custom had been followed he would have gone through life as Gottlieb.

He recorded the deed to the land in Clearfield township in 1843 and in Jefferson township Butler county 16 Feb 1854, ran a hotel on the Butler Freeport Pike until his death. He attended St. Mark's Lutheran in Butler and St. Lukes Lutheran Church in Hannahstown, Butler county. The rest of the children were baptized in St. Luke's starting with Philipp. Evidently he was baptized twice! He was arrested for selling whiskey without a license. My father always said it was to the Indians. A second arrest was for assault and battery for punching a man in the face. The third arrest was for two counts of tampering with the ballots while foreman of the elections. The arrests lend an aura of mystery to Gustav. He purchased land within three years of coming to America. Where this money came from is unknown but his father suffered a bankruptcy sale by the Crown in January 1839. He sent his uncle, Jacob, to take the oath of intention in 1847. Jacob is listed as the head of family in the 1850 census.

History of Butler County, 1886 mentions "...Drollinger carried on (Nathan) Skeer's tavern until it burned down, when he erected a new building." That much is confirmed by sale of some land in Hannahstown by Susan Denny where it mentions it was the same lot conveyed by "the estate of the late Nathan Skeer" to Susan Denny 3 Oct 1856. She sold it to Gustav 1 Oct 1857, the deed being recorded 23 Oct 1894. Why the executors waited until 1894 to record and sell the land I have no idea. My father said it was because they wanted to wait until Gilbert Koedel was 21. The heirs of G.F. Drollinger are listed in the sale of the land to one John Frederick, 8 Oct 1894. They are listed on the deed, Adolph Drollinger and Josephine his wife of the City of Allegheny; Louisa Koedel (widow) and Henrietta Baesel and John Baesel, her husband, of the city of Pittsburgh; Emma Burtner and James Burtner, her husband of Manhattan Kansas; Henry Bauer and Mary Bauer his wife and Anna Dunn and Louis Dunn her husband of Bennett Allegheny County (said Henry Bauer being the surviving husband of his former wife Mary [Drollinger] Bauer now deceased and said Anna Dunn being the sole and only surviving child and heir); Betha Allen and R.G. Allen her husband of Kansas and Robert Krause of Delano Butler County PA guardians of Viola and Della Drollinger, said Bertha Allen being the surviving wife of Philip Drollinger deceased, Viola and Della being the minor children and all the children of Philip Drollinger; all of the heirs at law of G.F. Drollinger and Magdalena his wife late of Jefferson Township, Butler County both deceased.

Deed dated 10 Aug 1843 Philip Frey and Christina Frey to Gustavus Frederick Drollinger for $1486.80 310 acres 126 perches being parts of tracts of land the Commonwealth granted by warrant to Cooper Shaefner, Leonard Eicholz and Daniel Barton and patented to Stephen Lowry patent date 10 September 1807, to Sarah Collins by will dated 29 November 1821

Census of 1850 enumerated the 20th of August:
Gustavus Fr Drollinger 36 m farmer Germany
Magdalena 37 f Germany
Mary 6 f Pa
Gustavus Fr 4 m Pa
Adolphus W 2 m Pa
Philip G 1/12 m Pa
Jacob Drollinger 58 m none Germany

Of his early life not much is known beyond his baptism in Ellmendingen. His mother died when he was a little over one year old. There is no evidence that his father remarried so one wonders what sort of home life he had. As his uncle came to the new world with him, perhaps it was a household of men he grew up in. In any event he appears to have traveled alone to the new world. What exactly he did after he arrived in New York City is not known. Yet he seems to have prospered enough to have acquired a nest egg to obtain land. whether or not this was gainfully gotten is up for grabs. Given his later escapades with the legal system he may have skirted the law. This lends an aura of the rogue to his mysterious image.

49005 The only record of Sarah's birth and death dates available so far to Drollingergenealogy.com are from her headstone inscription as found in her Findagrave.com Memorial ID 51976318. Her birth and death dates are provided as "11 Apr 1827" and "7 Apr 1864". These dates should be considered with some degree of skepticism if they were derived solely from someone's interpretation of her headstone inscription and not some other source such as a death certificate because of the very weathered condition of her headstone which would make it easy to make a mistake. Upon careful examination of an enlarged view of her Findagrave.com headstone photo, it does appear to read in part as 'SARAH J. WIFE OF Wm. TRULLINGER DIED April 7, 18?? AGED ???..." whereby the added question marks indicate illegible characters. Fortunately, a copy of her funeral notice (attached to her record herein) exists which states her funeral date of "Friday, April 8, 1864.". Her funeral notice appears to lend legitimacy to her death of 7 Apr 1864 with her funeral being the next day after her death. Now, regarding her birth date: Using a computerized date calculator (readily available on the Internet) and a death date of 7 Apr 1864 (assuming it is correct) and her age of 36 yrs 11 Mo 27 Days (also assuming this data is correct as provided on her Findagrave.com record) it provides two possible birth dates depending upon the method of calculation used. Therefore, the first possible birth date would be Tuesday, 10 Apr 1827 if the smaller units (days) are subtracted before the larger units (months/years) and the second possibility would be Wednesday, 11 Apr 1827 if the smaller units (days) are subtracted before the larger units (months/years). It should be noted that in the 1860 United States Census she is listed as being 33 years old which indicates a birth year of 1827 which matches her calculated birth year of 1827 as described above and as a result lends credibility to it being her true birth year and is why it is used herein as her probable birth year. Additionally, she is identified by her birth year only herein until further provable evidence of her birth day and birth month become known.

Born in Virginia per the 1860 Census.

49007 The only records that refer to her as Mary are the 1870 census and her tombstone. John refers to her as Elizabeth in his will written just days after the census enumeration, just before he died. Perhaps because John was dying someone else gave the census information, but that does not explain why her tombstone says Mary. Drollinger, Maria Elizabeth "Mary" (I2835)
 
49008 The operations at Union Mills are still going to the present day, and they are still in the hands of direct descendants of Gabriel Trullinger. The first to inherit the reins was Gabriel's son, Delazon L. Trullinger. In classic pioneer fashion, Del worked his way up in the family business. As pictured here, logging in the Nineteenth Century was often done with draft animals in addition to steam power.

49017 The pioneer of pioneers of Polk County and Des Moines was Daniel Trullinger, the only living man who was at Fort Raccoon when it was only a soldiers? camp. There was no cannon, no stockade, no block houses. It was not a fort, but simply a military camp, really more like a community of camping settlers; the difference being, they were sent here by Uncle Sam to protect from the marauding Sioux, the Sauk and Fox Indians, who had a reservation at or near where Avon now is, on what was called Keokuk's Prairie; also villages along Skunk River and Four Mile Creek. When Trullinger arrived, the soldiers were living in tents, having preceded him but a few days.

Born in Ohio, in 1818, Trullinger was raised on a farm, getting what education he could in the common schools of that day. From Ohio, he removed to Indiana, near Perrysville, where he and four brothers had small tracts of land. While there, he learned brick-making with his uncle, Benjamin Gordy.

In May, 1843, he and his brothers decided to come West, where land was cheaper and could be purchased in large quantities. Packing such necessary household goods, as pioneers usually did, into prairie schooners, with oxen for motor power, they started for Iowa, and June Thirteenth crossed the Mississippi at Fort Madison, and went on to Jefferson County, where they stopped near Fairfield, then the most frontier point, a few days, and where Daniel learned of the establishment of the new fort at Raccoon Forks.

Harking back to the event a few days ago, he said:

?With my wife and baby, and Uncle Ben. Gordy, an ox team and wagons, we left Fairfield, and five days later arrived at The Fort, the Fifteenth of June. We forded the river near where the Grand Avenue bridge is, the water being very low, not up to the hubs of the wagon wheels. The soldiers of the garrison had been here about three weeks, and were living in tents pitched along the heavy timber belt which skirted the river, or about where Second Street is now. The day we arrived, they were putting the roof on the commissary store building, near Des Moines River, just north of the ?Coon. There was a sutler's store where the south end of Prouty's wholesale grocery store is now, and the logs up for a Guard House a little south and west of the sutler?s store. Nothing had been done about dwellings, though logs were being cut for cabins in the timber on the east side of the Des Moines, and along the bluff on the west side.

"So soon as the sutler?s store was ready to occupy, they began to put up cabins for dwellings. The first row was for the officers, along the Des Moines, where First Street is, and fronted west. They were double, with a portico between them, the entrance to each half being from the portico. Some were roofed with shingles, and some with clapboards. They had good doors, windows, and flooring, the material for which was hauled from Keokuk in Government wagons. The logs were cut and hauled by the soldiers. The cabins for the soldiers were along the 'Coon. The building was done by five carpenters, who came with the soldiers. All the necessary material for building was at hand, except brick, and that was my opportunity. My uncle was an expert brick-maker, and I had learned of him to make brick. We were just the men Captain Allen, commander of The Fort, was looking for. Brick was wanted for chimneys and fireplaces of the cabins and stores. There were no stoves. I at once went prospecting for clay, and about half a mile up Raccoon River found a deposit of clay and sand, and not far away a pond, about fifty feet long and nearly as wide?I think it was about the south end of what is now Sixth Avenue?with no bottom, as we tested it for at least sixty feet and found none, and I am told that the early settlers at The Fort said it had no bottom at all. My uncle built a mill to grind the clay on a rise of ground near it, and there we established a brick yard, making from two thousand to four thousand brick per day, of what was known as sand brick, and they were good brick, too. During that Summer, we made about two hundred and eighty thousand brick. For mortar, my son, Aaron, found a lot of stone lying on the ground along Four Mile Creek, which he gathered and burned, making splendid lime.

?We worked every day in the week, as Captain Allen was anxious to get the buildings all completed before Winter set in, and we had to keep the fire going under the kilns, anyhow. A day?s work was from sunrise to sundown. There were no labor unions, and no holidays. There were no churches, nor preachers. In fact, the only way we knew when Sunday came was seeing the soldiers lined up for drill and inspection, and a general cleaning up of the camp. There were nearly three hundred soldiers in the camp, about one third of whom were cavalry, or Dragoons, as they called them. They were all a rugged, honest lot of fellows, used to roughing it, and ready to fight Indians or anything else that ran up against them, though they were quiet and orderly about the camp, for they had to be, as Captain Allen was a strict disciplinarian; but sometimes, Lieutenant Grier, who had more direct charge of the boys and had more humor in his nature, would give a little relaxation?if the Captain was not around.

?There were no settlers in the county that Summer, as the whole country was under military control. Alexander Scott, Alexander Turner, Peter Newcomer, and William Lamb, came in about two weeks before I did, and Captain Allen gave them permits to cultivate tracts of land to raise provisions for the camp. They immediately broke ground and planted corn as they plowed. Lamb, I understand, sowed the first wheat and oats in the county. They got good crops, which had to go to the soldiers? camp, as they were not allowed to sell a bushel to anybody. Scott?s land was on the east side of the Des Moines, extending down near the starch works. Lamb and Turner were east of him, and Newcomer was on Four Mile Creek. Subsequently, they filed claims and made farms of their land. Aside from these, we had no neighbors except Indians.

?Inside the garrison or fort, aside from the soldiers, there were only the carpenters and bricklayers There were only five women during that Summer?the wife of Doctor Griffin, the post surgeon; of Lieutenant Grier, of two carpenters, and my wife?so we didn?t have any women?s clubs or society doings. There were no amusements except occasionally the soldier boys would play fiddles, yet everybody was happy. It was like a big family working together in harmony, sharing with each other their fifty cents a day wages, tobacco, and whiskey. In fact, as the days were long, when night came everybody was ready to go to bed. We had little use for the tallow dips Uncle Sam furnished for lights. The Doctor and five women were kept busy, for there was much sickness from Fever and Ague. At one time, there was less than two dozen men in camp able to work.

?We had good living, and the cabins, when completed, were comfortable. The Government furnished rations of sugar, flour, bacon, ham, codfish, rice, other provisions, tobacco, and a pint of whiskey free to every person in the camp, daily?the women, though, were not allowed the whiskey. It wasn?t the kind you get now. If a man got drunk with it, he wasn?t sick a week afterward. A good deal of it, however, went to break the ?shakes.?

"The men worked hard: wages were low; the common laborers got fifty cents a day, the bricklayers one dollar, the boss carpenter two dollars, the boss bricklayer one dollar and seventy-five cents, but all got the daily allowance of rations and a cabin for a home, as fast as they were completed. Attached to every cabin was a small garden.

?'One great trouble we had was to get mail. The nearest postoffice was Fairfield, and the only way to get mail was by sending a soldier after it, and of course newspapers and reading-matter were scarce.

?During the Summer, Captain Allen was talking one day about fixing a point nearer The Fort, where mail could be deposited, and finding a man to take charge of it. I recommended ?Uncle Tommy? Mitchell, whom I had known for some time. He accepted him, and gave him a permit to select a tract of land to cultivate, which he did the next Spring, at a place south of what is now Mitchellville, known as Apple Grove, from a large grove of wild crabapples, on Camp Creek. It was a good place, as the wagon trails from Keokuk, Iowa City, and Fairfield came together a few miles eastward. He put up a large log cabin, settlers soon began to come in, and travel increased so that he opened a tavern and did a big business.

?No, the Indians were very peaceable and quiet. Squads of them frequently came into the camp, and the brick-making was a great curiosity to them. They would sit around for hours and watch the operation, jabbering away, and some could talk good English. They were great to ask questions. There were three bands, numbering about one thousand. Keokuk had a large village on his prairie, which was just north of where Avon now is, and not as pictured at page Three Hundred and Sixty, in Fulton?s ?Red Men of Iowa,? as lying from Des Moines River eastward to the starch works. There were bands along the Skunk and Four Mile Creek. They were friendly, and seemed to realize that the soldiers were here to protect them from their mortal enemy, the Sioux. Sometimes they would go up north hunting, and get on the territory called neutral ground, the Sioux would get after them, and the soldiers would be called out to drive the marauders off. One day, a Sioux chief came to Captain Allen and proposed to join his soldiers, kill all the Indians on the reservation, and then let the white people have it. When the Captain told him he was here to protect them and keep the Sioux where they belonged, the old chief gave a grunt and went off in high dudgeon.

?In October, the buildings had nearly all been completed; there was no further demand for brick, and I decided to leave. Captain Allen offered me ten dollars a month, rations and cabin, but I thought it was not enough, and declined. I returned to Fairfield, and went into the teaming business. In April, 1846, I left Fairfield, to go to my brother, Eli, who had bought a large claim where ?Trullinger?s Grove? is, in Franklin Township. On the Sixth, I arrived at ?Uncle Tommy? Mitchell's tavern, where they were holding the first election in Polk County, to elect county officers.

? ?Tommy? said he was mighty glad to see me; that I was just in time to vote, and I threw my vote into his hat. I hadn?t been in the county fifteen minutes. Everybody voted who wanted to, and no questions asked. Some came fifteen miles. After voting, they went home and left ?Tommy? to count the votes. That was the trust and confidence the pioneers had in one another. It wouldn?t do nowadays, I think.

?I stopped with ?Tommy? three days, went on to my brother, made a claim for one hundred and sixty acres near him, broke and planted twenty-four acres, and in the Fall sold out and returned to Fairfield, and went into brick-making and teaming. I remember that in 1849 I hauled a load of corn and some provisions to ?Uncle Tommy??he had got short, his tavern consuming more than his farm produced?and on the way, in Jasper County, I ran up against the Quaker Commissioners the Legislature had sent out to locate a site for the new Capital of the state. They had laid out a big town on the open prairie, no timber or buildings in sight, nor any water within five miles. I didn?t think it was a very good place for the Capital.

?I also remember hauling young hogs weighing about one hundred and fifty pounds, butter, eggs, and potatoes to The Fort. I had to get a permit to sell them from Captain Allen, and he would fix the maximum price on them?the pork at fifty cents, butter fifty cents, and eggs twenty-five cents per dozen. I could sell below his price, but not above it.?

In 1864, Trullinger got the gold fever, and, with a friend, started for Montana, but when he got to Julesberg, changed his mind and went into the mountains to prospect for gold, but found it too hard work, and went to Denver, where he ran against a man from the East with a slaughter house, meat market, and grocery, worth two thousand dollars, who was suffering from Nostalgia?that is, he wanted ?to get back home.? Trullinger offered him one thousand dollars for the outfit, got it, and ran it nine years. Subsequently, he speculated, prospected, burned charcoal, and bossed silver mines in Colorado until 1879, when he came back to Iowa, bought a big farm in Calhoun County, held it until March, 1900, when he came to Des Moines, invested his surplus shekels in town lots, and made his home with a widowed daughter on Morton Street?a few rods east of the Danish College, where he spends his time at ease. In Summer, he cultivates shrubbery, flowers, fruit, and vegetables, which, as I saw them a few days ago, indicate that he knows how. He is rugged, active, has perfect health, can do a good day?s work, eats three square meals a day, has no use for breakfast foods or patent concoctions for old age, and the day I visited him I found him on a ladder trimming his shade trees.

Politically, he is a Hardshell Democrat; never voted any but the straight ticket, except once for his old friend, Ford, a Whig, for Treasurer of Jefferson County. He is a Standpatter, and says if he was a Republican he would vote against Cummins for Governor, because he is opposed to more than two terms for any state officer, on principle. He never sought a political office, though for several years he held the office of School Director, consequent upon his active interest in educational affairs and public schools.

Socially, he is genial, frank, and conversational. An hour?s recital of reminiscences of people, conditions, and circumstances he has rubbed up against in his long life is replete with interest, and a pleasing diversion.

Religiously, he is not a member of any denomination, though he attends the Christian Church from choice.

"FRED TRULLINGER, THE MAN"
"After graduation from Monmouth in 1893, my purpose in life was two-fold. I wished to establish myself in an occupation or business which would sustain a family. I wished also to marry a certain young lady I had admired since childhood;
her name, Grace Fox. Grace was only five years old when I saw her on the train, traveling from Forest Grove to North Yamhill, Oregon. She, with her small brother, Chester, her father, John Fox, her aunt and uncle, the Honorable Mr. & Mrs. Lee Laughlin and friends, had attended the funeral of the lovely Frances Stewart Fox, the beloved wife of John Fox and mother to five year old Grace and three-year old Chester Fox. Such a beautiful child was Grace Fox. A soft, white complexion, green eyes and long, dark brown curls flowing softly over her shoulders. Frederick LeRoy was only seven years old when he first looked upon this child of five. He ran to his mother and told her about the pretty little girl he had discovered. As Frederick passed from boyhood into manhood, he retained this memory of the little girl on the train. In 1900, at the mature age of twenty-six years, he proposed marriage to Grace. She accepted with the promise that he get the consent of her father, John Fox, of Astoria, Oregon. He wrote a very persuasive letter. In part, he said: 'I truly love your daughter, and while I am a very poor boy, as to money, I have very good prospects coming up.' His reply was, 'If you marry my daughter, you have very good prospects.' John Fox gave his consent and they were married on November 29, 1900, at the home of the Honorable Mrs. Lee Laughlin in North Yamhill, Oregon."

F L Trullinger Brings Electricity to Yamhill, Oregon
1902 - 1912 , Yamhill, Oregon
MY FATHER'S DREAM
(His Own Story)
"One of my first ventures after getting married was bringing electric lights to North Yamhill, in 1901. Back in 1888, 1 had, as a boy, lived in Astoria, Oregon where Uncle John Trullinger had installed the first electric lights. 1 was very much interested in his operation from a business standpoint, so when my family moved back to our home and mill at North Yamhill, 1 dreamed up the thought of having electric lights to replace the old oil lamps for street lights, as well as lights for the homes. In 1902, 1 asked my wife's uncle, Lee Laughlin, for a loan of $2,000, which was about the installed cost of the machinery and equipment necessary for the plant. Fortunate for me, Uncle Lee was in agreement and loaned me the $2,000. My father and 1 went down to Astoria to consult with my Uncle John. 1 asked him if he thought it wise to put so much money into such a small town light plant. He advised me to forget the idea as the income from the plant was too
small to ever pay a return. On our way home, my father stopped to sell some flour to a logging plant nearby. When we reached Portland, I had made up my mind to go ahead with the electric deal, in spite of the advice from Uncle John.
I had a full day to kill before meeting my wife, Grace and my father, coming in to join me from Yamhill. So I got busy. 1 first contacted the electric supply house and bought 200-16CP legats, 1815W generator with 2200 volts, 2 transformers,
#14 hard drawn bar copper wire with telephone insulators and rubber-covered wire for installing of lights. I also hired an electrician to come to Yamhill to install the plant. All this was done before I met Grace and my father. The first words my father said were, "I suppose you have given up the idea of the electric plant?" I said, "No, I have not. As a matter of fact, 1 have bought all the machinery
necessary and it is on its way to Yamhill by freight train. From the dock where my father had landed, we went out to see my sister, Mary, who was in nurses' training at the Good Samaritan Hospital. As we were leaving the hospital, I left Grace and my father to visit O.A. Thornton, an old friend and classmate of 1893. at Monmouth, Oregon. While I was gone, my father asked Grace if she knew about my purchase of the light plant. She said, "yes", she knew. He said, in reply, "I'm afraid Fred is a goner."1 This was rather a discouraging remark to tell a young wife that her husband was "a goner." (It didn't exactly work out that way.) 1 hired ten or twelve men to dig holes for the heavy green fir poles which we set up by main strength and awkwardness. It was in January of 1901 and we had to work in
rain, mud and snow, in temperatures below freezing. Some job. I installed the generator in my father's flour mill, using about 25 horse power. The flour mill was located one and one half miles west of the town of Yamhill. I paid him $50 per
month to start the plant in the evening and to shut it down at daylight. (No lights during the day hours). I charged $1 a month per 16 C. P. light. The City paid me $25 per month for 25 street lights. I started out with a gross income of about $200 per month, which gradually increased each year. Hope Perry ran the Post Office and collected for the lights, the water and the telephone. (The water was brought
in from the Hutchcroft Creek, 3 miles west of town.) I charged one dollar per year for switching. The users built their own lines. I furnished the switchboard and gave them free use of the long distance line into McMinnville where we connected with the Pacific Telephone Company out of Portland. The first year, the telephone exchange board was in the drug store, run by Dr. Coffeen. The second year, it was moved to the Rude home, with Bell Rhudes' sister as operator. Dr. coffeen was too busy to give adequate service to the users. In 1900 my brother, Carl, went out on his own, working in a gold mine in Idaho. Work was hard and pay not so
good, so after one year, he traveled to California where he got a job with the Pacific Lighting Corporation. He worked out of Los Angeles installing a new power line. It was .dangerous work and my mother was quite worried. She asked me
to sell my Yamhill light plant to Carl. To please her and to ease her anxieties, I did so. Carl operated the plant for ten years and then sold out to the Portland General Electric Company for about $15,000.00. When I sold the plant to Brother Carl, it was paying about $350 per month gross income. I soon made enough to pay Uncle Lee his loan of $2,000. In those days, $2,000 was a lot of money. Uncle John would call it "chicken feed," but 1 got a lot of satisfaction proving my judgement was right and the Yamhillers were enjoying electric lights a long time before other little towns in the Willamette Valley. After Brother Carl sold the electric plant, he built a new home just west of Yamhill by Ii- miles on the Darees Farm. He also rented a shed roof warehouse which I had built on the back end of my General Merchandise Store. Here he operated a feed mill for several years and also helped me in the operation of my store. This venture did not work out well for
Carl, so he closed out the feed mill and bought the John Johnson Farm, some three miles from town. In 1909, I took Ray Gill and my brother-in-law, Chester
Fox, as partners in a prune orchard deal. We bought 40 acres from Abe Blackburn, each owning an undivided 1/3 interest. 1 looked after the planting of the trees and the cultivation and pruning. Ray Gill lived in Spokane and Chester
Fox lived in Astoria, Oregon, so most of the working responsibility was mine.
In 1912, Chester Fox and 1 bought 60 more acres of land adjoining the Blackburn track and planted it to prunes. My wife, Grace bought 9 acres of the Blackburn track which was also planted to prunes. Later, 1 bought a prune dryer on this lot at a cost of $11,000. It was in operation for about ten years. It finally burned to the ground. My insurance covered $6,000 of the loss. I then sold my interest in prunes to Roy Fryer for $5,000.Altogether, as a farming adventure, I had put in 20 years of my management for free. I spent about $100,000 in experience and had an income of $99,000 in return on the sales of prunes. On the whole deal, it showed a loss of $1,000. I came out very lucky considering that for several years the price of prunes was down to 2 to 3 cents per pound. But, like the man who bought a pig for $10, fed it $10 worth of feed and then sold it for $20-- he justified his pig deal by saying he had had the use of the pig all that time. I had had the use of the prune orchard for 20 years and it had cost me only $1,000."

49020 The possibility exists that there are two wives both named Frances. In the 1870 census there is a daughter Catherine 18 years old. This would make Frances 10 years old at her birth. The death certificate gives her birth at 1864 which makes her too young to bear children. GLD 14 Feb 2022

She appears on various documents as 'Siancit'. Because she is also clearly declared as Siancit, the mother of Mary Ann on Mary Ann "Annie" nee Trollinger's death certificate by her son, John Henry Trollinger, who was the informant on Annie's death certificate, it serves as strong evidence that her name actually was Siancit with Frances either being a nickname or other part of her name.

Frances is mulatto
'Siancit' per her daughter, Annie's death certificate.
Her maiden name my be Shucks. Ref obit of Julius Trollinger.
Frances apparently also carried the Shepp surname. Ref her daughter, Mexile's death certificate.

Violet Trolinger was living with Hill and Frances in the 1870 Census. Violet is identified as the mother to Frances in Frances' death certificate.

49021 The possibility exists that this is not the born 1884 Lou Trullinger as all the rest of the found records list him as single. GLD 14 May 2025 Family: Louis Allen "Lou" Trullinger / Unknown MNU (F13820)
 
49022 The precise day of his death as inscribed upon his headstone is difficult to accurately determine with the attached photo of it. Hopefully, someone will pay his headstone a visit and carefully clean it and take some high resolution photos of it under proper lighting conditions before his headstone inscription has weathered beyond recognition. It is also hoped that whomever does this will at a minimum share their photos with Drollingergenealogy.com. Trollinger, James H. (I854)
 
49023 The proper order of her name is difficult to accurately determine. Because her name is spelled 'Louese' on her death certificate as supplied by her son, Fred, and because it is also spelled that way on her Washington State Death Register and her newspaper death notice-obituary, it seems apparent that is the spelling her parents intended and not the more traditional spelling of 'Louise'. It appears the probable order of her birth name is Louese Maria Druliner. Additionally, her nickname appears to be 'Lou' as that is the way she provided her name on marriage record.
