Notes for John B. Altman

In the spring of 1846 John B. Altman came from Summit County, Ohio, on foot (and a chance ride of a few miles), to Williams County, Ohio, to pay the taxes on his and his brother Jacob¿s 80 acre tracts of land, thinking the taxes would be about the same as they had been for a year or two past. He arrived at Bryan about two o¿clock p.m., went direct to pay his taxes, and when his change was returned, he had eighty-two cents left!

Mr. Youse, the County Treasurer, at once noticed Mr. Altman¿s stunned look and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Altman, scarcely able to control himself, said: "This is all the money I have and I am a stranger in these parts, and I am very hungry, as I have eaten nothing since five o¿clock this morning. I am also very tired, having walked fast to get here, so as to get my taxes paid on time."

Mr. Youse looked him over, when Altman said, "I can work, if you can tell me where I can find work." Mr. Youse took him to his home, and fed him and kept him all night, and next morning gave him an introductory letter to Mr. John Miller, the former owner of the Swisher place. There he worked by the month until fall, when he went to his home in Summit County, Ohio, and from there across the mountains to near Williamsport, Pa., with horse and buggy, to meet his bride-to-be. There he married Julia Anna Drum, on Nov. 24, 1846.

In 1846 John became a class leader at Emanuel M. E. Church near West Unity, Ohio, who was also the first Sunday school superintendent.

MARRIAGE:

An Olive A. Vesper married Simon Kring on 29 June 1873 at the home of James Vesper in Walnut Township, Bourbon Co., KS. This may be the same as Allie, that being her middle name.

Children of Simon Tobias Kring and Olivia (Allie) Vesper were as follows:

+ 316 i Charles D.9 Kring, born Jan 1875 in KS. He married (1) Minnie (Millie) Smart; (2) Cora L. Bush.

317 ii Hosea C.9 Kring, born Jul 1879 in KS. Notes: In 1900 Hosea was an unmarried laborer for Job Clifton in Walnut Township, Bourbon Co., KS (page 255). ------------------------------------------------------------- I am trying to find out as much info as I possibly can about Hosea Kring. He was the son of Simon and Olivia Vesper. Charles and Herbert are his brothers. Family story goes that Hosea married a Bertha Spoleder and had 4 children Bernard, Lillian, Nadine, and Dayton. Bertha supposedly left after thinking Hosea left her. Kids supposedly left with grandma Olivia. When Bertha and Hosea didn¿t return Bernard and Lillian where put in an orphanage and Nadine was placed with Aunt Vera(Charles daughter), and Dayton went with Troy Vesper. Nadine supposedly died of syphilis given to her by Vera¿s husband. I would love to try to put the pieces together but I can¿t seem to find anyone who knows what happened. I didn¿t know if there is anyone still living that may have heard the story first hand or if it will continue to be a family secret. Would love to hear what you have to say and will always share info. I did find Lillian in the 1920 census in Tate Orphans Home in Atchinson, Kansas and I am going to send for a death certificate for Nadine(hopefully she still went by Kring). Thanks so much, Lisa Morris lisadmorris@comcast.net
