The Brit Bark Routenburn was built in 1881. It was a four-masted bark primarily used to transported wool from Australia to England.

A February 26, 1904 voyage from Queenstown, New Zealand to San Francisco, California encountered severe storms and rough seas, resulting in the loss of two apprentices and extensive damage to the ship. The Routenburn reached San Francisco in August 1904.

Albert Rolston, 70, son of Oliver P. and Leanna (Bushey) Rolston, was born in Schuyler County, Missouri in October, 1879, and passed away Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1949, at the Van Osdol hospital at Greentop.
Mr. Rolston had been ill for the past several months and was in a Kirksville hospital prior to his being moved to Greentop.
He is survived by three sisters, Miss Edna M. Rolston and Mrs. Alice Hunt of Boulder, Colo., and Miss Ida Rolston of Denver, Colo.; one brother, Attorney Allen Rolston, of Queen City, Mo., and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Arthur Rolston.
Mr. Rolston spent his entire life in the Queen City vicinity. He was never married and lived alone in the family home. He will be greatly missed by his many friends.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Hollis Bowen at the West funeral chapel, Queen City, Saturday afternoon at two o'clock.
Interment was in the Queen City cemetery.
Out of town people who attended the funeral services for Mr. Rolston were: Mrs. Ada Rolston, Edwin and Howard Rolston and families of Kirksville; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Craig and children of Memphis, Mo., Miss Mae Rolston of Boulder, Colo., Mrms Ulysses Gramsch and daughter Margaret of St. Louis, Mo.

Rolston, Albert Leroy (I487)

A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Friday, May 9, 1997, in Northminster Presbyterian Church for Ada Pearl Benson, who died May 5 at age 95.
Mrs. Benson was born March 3, 1902 in Callender, Iowa. Her maiden name was Cluff. Her husband, Grover C., died in 1964. She moved to the Portland area in 1965. She was a homemaker and member of the church.
Survivors include her daughters, Jeanne Sampson of Washougal, Wash., Lois Hooker and Jeri, both of Portland, and Lee Halff of Dallas, Texas; son, Robert F. of Aloha; brothers, Ernest Cluff of Quartzsite, Ariz., and Stanley Cluff of Swisshome; sisters, Evelyn Olson of St. Maries, Idaho, and Dorothy Richmond of Wyanet, Ill.,; 19 grandchildren; and 30 great-grandchildren.
Interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery in Knoxville, Iowa. The family suggests remembrances to the American Heart Association. Arrangements are by Zeller Chapel of the Roses.

Cluff, Ada Pearl (I269)

A year or so earlier a baby girl had been born but lived only a short time, dying from what was believed to be a sickness called "summer complaint". Another child was now expected (Clara Margaret) so they wanted to be nearer medical care. They stayed in the city until the fall of the year before returning to Bigfork.

Hanson, John Hilmer (I5305)

After Elizabeth's death, William Benson and children Solomon, Elizabeth, and William returned to Ohio.

William's daughter Nancy and her husband Elijah Hurd had thier own household and remained in IA.
William's daughter Margaret and her husband Joseph Free had thier own household and remained in IA.
William's daughter Sarah and her husband George Miller do not appear in the 1856 Marion, IA census (as do Nancy and Elijah Hurd and Margaret and Joseph Free). For this reason one might wonder if they returned to OH with William. However, they had one son already, and the 1860 Marion, IA census indicates they had another son born in IA in 1856. Therefore I beleive they likely remained in IA and did not return to OH with William.

The move likely occurred between March (William purchased property from Alfred Rees in Dec 1855 the deed for which was not recorded until Mar 1856) and Oct 1856 (William's daughter Elizabeth and William Hyer were married 2 Nov 1856 in Ohio).

After Grover died, Ada and her son, Bob, moved to Portland, OR to be close to the girls.

Cluff, Ada Pearl (I269)

After Solomon's death, Catherine transferred her interest in the home property to all her children via quit claim deed, retaining her rights to possess, use, etc. the property for the remainder of her life. Concurrently, all the children transferred their interest in the property as heirs to Solomon via quit claim deed to Catherine. The instruments were filed 03/22/1904.

Benson, William Omrah "W.O." (I47)

Aunt Edna (Benson) Baker remembers hearing that his mother saw the name "Omrah" in the newspaper and liked it, so decided to use it for her first son.
His wife Laura called him "Omry", because she said he could sometimes be so ornery!

Benson, William Omrah "W.O." (I47)

Aunt Edna tells of the time when W.O., returning from a visit with family in Iowa, apparently got himself into a bad part of town. Someone thought he was a good target and hit him over the head (knocked him out!) and took his wallet. He arrived at the bus depot with blood all over his face and could not remember the details of what had happened.
Aunt Edna does not remember for certain when this occurred.

Ben's dad was Polish, and worked as a coal miner in PA. His mother grew up in a family of coal miners, some of which had died in mine accidents. Because of the dangerous nature of the work, she wanted to get her family away. A couple of the daughters (Ben's sisters) had moved to Chicago and liked it and encouraged the rest of the family to move there. Ben's parents decided to do that. His dad never worked again after they moved to Chicago. He had saved enough money that it wasn't necessary to work anymore. They bought a second house which they rented out. As young teenagers in PA, Ben and an older brother had saved up quite a pile of money and when the family moved they sewed all this money inside their clothes and took it with them to Chicago.

Ben was a distant relative of Joe Skaja (early homesteaders that were neighbors of Bensons in Talmoon) and Ben visited him often becaused he liked to hunt and fish in the area. Eventually he just moved here. His parents stayed in Chicago (although his mother came to visit here once).

He liked to play baseball and he played on a team. There was a team from Jessie Lake and there was one from Talmoon (it was called Hoover's Corner then), and there was the Inger Indians and a team from Bigfork. Then there were the 'bosses' , like Henry Johnson (the old postmaster at Jessie Lake) and Dewitt, that refereed and did stuff like that. I met Ben at a baseball game. He was playing. I used to go with my brothers and sisters. Verlon maybe used to play a little. Don didn't care much for baseball. We went together for two years before getting married.

Indianola, October 22, 1917 aged twenty-eight years, one month and twenty-nine days.

The greater part of Claud's married life was spent in Canada, having lived there seven years, coming back to Iowa last spring.
Claud was the favorite of the family, was an upright, honest citizen, square in all his dealings. He was a most dutiful son an affectionate husband, a kind father, a loving brother.
He leaves to mourn his death, a wife, two children, a loving father and mother, three brothers and two sisters, and a host of relatives and friends, who will greatly miss his pleasant face and loving smile.

Speed, Claud Lloyd (I5521)

Dad and Everett came first. They traveled from Missouri by train in 1917. Dad stopped in Minneapolis and Everett watched the suitcases because they weren't sure if someone might want to take them. Then they went on to Duluth by train, then on the M&R on to Mac. They may have walked from Mac - it was only about 5 miles, but I'm not sure.
Then later, the boys came along with the animals as stow-aways in a box car. There was a man that came along to watch after them. He would go get them food - something that wouldn't have to be cooked. They had a horse, some dogs and a cat or two, and a few rabits and chickens. Whenever they'd stop in a station the boys would climb up above inside the box car to hide. The old guy that came along stayed on at the house for awhile. He loved the fresh fish that Dad cooked for him.
Then after that, Dad got really lonesome and wrote back and told Mom that maybe she could talk to Walter and Ethel to see if they can afford to pay for the rest of the family to come on to Jessie Lake. We had left Missouri and were staying in Iowa.
I remember coming on then by train in about August. I was 4 yrs old and Catherine was seven. I found a little gold ring in a crack in the seat. I was real happy from then on - but then I'd lost it again already before we got to Minnesota. Oh, and I remember how Duluth was so cold. It was the first part of August and it was cold. I suppose we just had light coats so Mom had me under her coat and another lady took Catherine under her coat. We hoped the rest of MN wasn't going to be like that.

Our home was a little one room place that Dave Prestidge, a batchelor, built.
