1850 Census :: Dist.1, Fleming Co., KY John Chrisman 59 Farmer BP: MO Jane 68 BP: Ireland Mathias 35BP: KY Philip 23 BP: KY Jane Somerville 12 BP: KY Ann "" 9 BP: KY Robert "" 4 BP: KY The three Somerville children living with John and Jane (Somerville) Chrisman in 1850 are believed to be the children of L. P. Somerville, the eldest son of John Somerville2 (John1). L. P. Somerville and his wife died from an unknown illness in1850 and left their three children childless. We're not sure what happened to the children after 1850 as they do not appear with John and Jane Chrisman in Later Census records. But we do know that they relocated to Edgar Co., IL with the rest of the family in 1851 because of mention of them in a letter from the period.

poem by lide I would ask of you my darling, A Question soft and low, That gives me many a hearache As the moments come and go Your love I know is truthfull But the truest love grows cold It is this that I would ask you Will you love me when I'm old Down the stream of life together We are sailing side by side hoping some bright day to anchor Safe beyond the surging tide Today our sky is cloudless But the night may clouds unfold And its storms may gather round us WIll you love me when I'm old When my hair shall shame the snowdrift and mine eyes shall dimmer grow I would lean upon some loved one In the vally[sic] as I go I would claim of you a promise Worth to me a world of gold It is only this my darling That you'll love me when I'm old Lide

Email from Frank Aster: Hi Maria. Thank you so much for answering my E-mail. Yesterday i recieved your E-mail, and i was very happy because there is no doubt about a relationship between us. I?m afraid, I made a mistake in my first E-mail, becourse Johann Sachon hasen?t got a son named Gerd. Yesterday immediately after reading your E-mail, I phoned my father Hans Aster to tell him what you wrote to me. He told me, that your father Gerd Sachon is a cousin of him, and therefore your father must know my faher Hans, his brother Rudi and also his sister Inge and last not least his mother Maria (her birthname was Aster). The story we know about Johann Sachon, is that he was employed as a servant/chauffeur Fuerst Pueckler. We don?t know more about the story between both men. We only know that he has to escape from Germany, because his jewish origins. Before he left Germany he told to his children that they will undersand his reasons later in time. Because of this situation the children adopt the surname (birthname) of her mother Maria Aster for her own security during the nazi regime. I?m very surprised to here about your story about the history of my grandfather. I beg you to ask your father, about some informations my father likes to get: Where do you and your family lives? Have you got some fotographs from you, Gerd, Hans,Rudi, Inge, Johann Sachon and other members of the family?

Orlando Lee, 84, a prominent resident of seven miles north of Greensburg for many years, passed away at 11:15 am today at the county infirmary where he had been a patient for almost a year. Five years ago he fell on his farm and broke his hip which rendered him a confirmed cripple. A year later he went to Oklahoma and lived whith his two sisters and three brothers there, returning to Adams township about fourteen months ago.

The funeral will be held in the Sandusky M. E. church at 10am Thursday, the Rev. G. C. Housman officiating. Burial at Milroy. From Decatur County History, Page 1052 Orlando Lee One of the enterprising farmers of Adams township, this county, well knwon for his efficient public service in the office of county commissioner, where he served for six years, is Orlando Lee, who lives in the northeast corner of that township. Although he owns forty acres of land, he was formerly engaged in operating three hundred acres of rented land. His claim to distinction in this cunty is based not only on his record as a successful farmer, but in the fall of 1904 he was elected to the office of county commisioner by the larget majority ever given a candidate for that office, being elected on the Republican ticket. His repeated re-elections afforded the most tangible evidence that could be cited of his efficient service and the universal satisfaction which he gave in that office. Orland Lee was born on August 30, 1850, in Tipton county, Indiana, the son of Randolph and Eliza (Summerville [sic] ) Lee, who came to Decatur county on September 26, 1863. Orlando being then 13 years of age. Randolph Lee, who was born in Kentucky in 1824, came to Decatur county first in 1824 and here he learned the wheelwright's trade from the late Samuel Hood. He was married in 1846 and two years later moved to Tipton County and fifteen years later returned to Decatur County. In 1877 he moved to the state of Kansas, where he spent the rest of his life. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and was a Scottish Rite Mason of the thiry-second degree. His wife was the daughter of Joseph Summerville [sic], a pioneer settler of Fugit township, this county. To them were born ten children, namely: Philander, deceased; Orlando, the subject of this sketch, Amanda, who died in Rush County on March 22, 1875; Joseph who lives at Pawhuska, Oklahoma,; Mrs Mary Barlow, who lives at Stillwater , Oklahoma; Ira, who lives in New Albany, Kansas; Mrs Margeret Ridgeway, who resides in Koweda, Oklahoma; John, deceased; William, who lives at Ramonan, Oklahoma, and Randolph Jr., deceased. In 1867, when the Lee family moved to Rush County, Indiana, they were accompanied by their son, Orlando, the subject of this sketch, who lived there until 1892, in which year he purchased his farm in Decatur county, giving on thousand dollars for the tract. At the time he went heavily in debt for the land but has since been able to pay for the farm and has lately refused one hundred and twenty five dollars an acre. Mr Lee has a beautiful country home, of which he has every reason to be proud. In 1914, he raised six acres of wheat and seventy two acres of corn. On January 12, 1915, at a sale, he sold sixty head of hogs and seven head of horses. In the late years he has been engaged in the sale of fertilizer throughout Decatur County, as a representitive of th Reed Phosphate Company, and has been very successful, selling large quantities of fertilizer in this county. On September 30, 1875, Orlando Lee was married to Katie Hardesty, who was born on March 18, 1849, near St. Omer, in Adams township, the daughter of George Hardesty. Mr and Mrs Lee are members of the Milroy Christian church and for years have been considered among the leaders in all good works in that community, being held in the highest regard by all who know them. In the community in which he lives, Mr. Lee is known as one of those men whose word is as good as his bond and who maintains a friendly and sympathetic interest in the welfare of his neighbors, a cordial and intimate relationship with his fellow citizens and a patriotic, optimistic attitude toward the government of which he is a part. He is a good citizen, who stands first and foremost for law and order and one who believes that good governemtn is the result of electing to office men, who are not only right in intentions and possessed of honorable purposes, but men who likewise understand the needs of those whom they would serve. ~test
