2nd obituary

Thursday, Henry Lathrop, Sr., one of Richland county's best and most professive farmers, passed away at the home of his son, Charles, in German township.

Since his wife's death, which occurred last December, he has declined rapidly in health and has made his home among his children.

Mr. Lathrop was a large land owner and but few men have done as much for their country as "Uncle Henry" has done in his long life.  He was the father of ten children, nine of whom grew to manhood and womanhood and are among our very best and most prosperous citizens.  He being a good fiancier was able to impart to his children the qualities that make them good business men and women, who are leaders in their respective communities.

Henry Lathrop was born May 14, 1817 in the town of Richfort [sic], Frankfort [sic] county, Vt., on the banks of the Mississiquoi river at the foot of the Green mountains.  He was a descendant of Rev. John Lathrop and on his mother's (Cynthia Powell) side, was a descendant of Gov. Bradford, of Massachusetts.

Henry spent his life until his twentieth year in Richford and Sutten [sic] an adjoining town and Canada.  He emigrated with his father and mother to Taylor county, Ind. in the year 1837.  In July of the same year, he went to Ripley county, Ind., and engaged with his cousin, Augusta Lathrop, in carding wool and making linseed-oil; and in 1838, he worked for the same cousin in a clothing store until Oct. 1839 when he came to Illinois and taught school, with good success, for eleven months.  He, then built a carding machine and operated it two years, trading it for land, which he made into a farm.

On the first of September 1844 he was married to Rachel Law, of Lawrence county, Ill.  To this union were born ten children, eight of whom are still living.  He spent his entire married life on the farm and at one time owned 1,100 acres of land.  He gave each of his five sons a farm of 160 acres valued at $3,000 and the four daughters each received the same in cash.

After living together fifty-eight years and three months, his wife died Dec. 5, 1902 at the advanced age of seventy-eight years and twenty-seven days.  After her death, he left the old home where they had spent their entire married life and reared their family, and lived with his son, Charles until death called him to his long home on the 24th of June at the age of eighty-six years, one month and ten days.

The funeral was held at the Amity church Friday morning Rev. J.A. Westerman conducted the services assisted by Rev. Wm. Carson.  The remains were laid by the side of his wife in the AMity cemetery near their old home. 

The Press joins the many friends of the sorrowing relatives in extending heartfelt sympathy.

1820 Bradford Powell, age 45 in Richford, VT.  Born in 1775 in Stratford, CT, he was the son of Rowland & Mary (Janes) Powell.  He married Clarissa Goff in 1803 and they had 8 children:  Delight, Emily, Marcia, Seraphina, Jay, Diana, herman and Henry. 

Bradford Powell came to Richford, VT as early as 1799, then a young man about twenty-years of age.  Mr. Powell had much to do in the business of the town.  His name appears as one of the first survyeors, as lister, and also deputy collector of customs.  He early formed a co-partnership with his brother John and Horace Janes of St. Albans, and traded for a time in a small store on the corner where Alvin Goff's dwelling house now stands.  the firm, however, did not live very long.  It was during the troublous times of 1812-15, when Congress placed some proscription on trade, and as many of their goods came from Canada, their trade was necessarily embarrassed.  The cold season following Mr. Powell was compelled to place an encumbrance on his real estate, which he was never able to discharge.  Mr. Powell married Clarissa Goff, in April, 1803 and was the father of nine children.  He died a comparatively young man.  He was a member of the First Baptist church.  Mr. Powell has no surviving children, but has several grandchildren living.
