Carr’s Chapel Cemetery

Courtesy of Nancy Benton, this document shows the rows in which certain members of the Brewer family are buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Dade county, Missouri.

In row 1 is Mary Johnson Fowler, wife of John Fowler (direct line), Catherine Hedden Brewer, wife of Daniel Levi Brewer (direct line), Alva Brewer, son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana Louise Fowler, David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana Louise Fowler Brewer (direct line).

In row 2, we have, Robert Lincoln Trent and his first wife, Dora Nancy Fowler Trent, daughter of John and Mary Jane Fowler, and an infant that would have been a child of Robert and an infant who perhaps died at the same time as Dora. Elmer Brewer was a son of David Nathaniel and Delana Brewer. Next to him are his daughters Ruby Ellen and Nora Edith who both died in 1918, perhaps victims of the great influenza epidemic. We see next to them Robert Walter Brewer and his wife, Edith, and their son Robert.

I’ve touched it up a little below.

Dora Nancy Fowler Trent is shown here with her niece, Bettie Brewer (married Ray Noyes).

Dora Nancy Fowler was born abt 1869 at Osage Mission, Neosho, Kansas, the daughter of John B. Fowler and Mary Jane Johnson. She died at the age of 37, July 1906, and is buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Greenfield, Dade county, Missouri. She was married to Robert Lincoln Trent, who was born 1877 and died 1958.

Dora was the sister of Delana Louise Jane Fowler b. 1854, who married David Nathaniel Brewer. Bettie Brewer b. 1877, their daughter, is the girl with Dora.

It’s difficult for me to fix a date for this photo. Either there is a scratch on the photo on Bettie’s ring finger or she is already married and the ring is over her glove. If she was already married, the date of the photo is after May of 1895.

I have in my records that Robert Trent was also married to Mary Catherine Brewer, b. 1872 Jan 10, but I don’t know when this marriage might have taken place. She was married many years to George Spurling, who died in 1919. Mary Catherine was widowed in the 1920 census and by the 1930 census she was married to Deaton Rhoades.

Rose E. Trent, sister of Robert, also married into the Brewer family. March 25 1895 in Girard, Crawford, Kansas, she married Daniel Brewer, son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana Fowler Brewer. Their children were Schuyler and Davie and I have a post on them elsewhere in the blog.

So, the Trents perhaps first married into the family with Rose marrying Daniel Brewer in 1895, then in 1900 Robert Trent married Dan Brewer’s aunt, Dora, who was about 31 years of age, only about 4 years older than her nephew.

The Trents were children of a Matthew Trent and a woman named Mary. The 1880 census shows:

121/121 Trent Matthew m 65 b. KY parents b. KY
Mary 28 wife b. KS father b. IL father b. OH mother b. PA

Jane 18 wife b. IL father b. IL mother b. PA
illegible 1 daughter b. KS father b. KS mother b. IL
William H. 18 nephew farm hand

It’s not every day one sees a 60-something marrying a 20-something. By the 1885 Kansas state census of Centerville, Neosho they were no longer together and he was with an Elizabeth, age 44, but the children were in his household and also a year old Mary A. Perhaps Mary had died and Mary A. was her last child and was named for her. Under Elizabeth in the census is a Leander H. Anderson, 26. These two were both from Ohio. I see a family tree at Ancestry which gives Leander as a son of Daniel Anderson and Elizabeth Murdock who lived from 1842-1922. The marriage between Matthew and Elizabeth was a keeper and the 1895 census in Centerville still shows them together, Matthew by now 77 and Elizabeth 52.

By 1900, Robert was in Barton county, Missouri.

In 1910 he was a widower living with his brother, Perry, in Howard, Elk, Kansas. By 1915 he had married a Hattie D. and is still with her in the 1930 census, but he was buried with Dora Fowler in Carr’s Chapel Cemetery, Greenfield, Dade, Missouri.

The photo was taken at Fritts studio in Liberal, Missouri. I have on the blog another photo taken at Fritts which would have been from about the same time. The individuals are unknown.

Delana and David Nathaniel touched up

Delana and David Nathaniel orig

I don’t recollect seeing very often early images clearly showing a woman as pregnant. The photo , courtesy of Nancy Benton, would have likely been taken in Barton County, Missouri.

David Nathaniel Brewer arrived in Barton County, Missouri before the establishment of Liberal in the early 1880s. Nancy Benton writes of David and Delana:

David was born in Putnam County, Indiana. He married Delana Fowler in Neosho, Kansas in 1869. They moved to Liberal, MO, in 1872 where they were active in the Methodist Church. His daughter, Bettie, is supposed to have been the first child baptized in the church. In 1895 they moved to Dade Co., MO. In 1902 he purchased an acreage south of Greenfield, MO, which he sold to his son Alva in 1906. In June, 1906 he purchased Lots 18, 19 and 20 in Block 1 in Pilgrim. His will divided his land between his children Mary Catherine Spurling, Jessie Jones, Walter Brewer, Elizabeth Jane Noyes, Lewis Brewer, John David Brewer, and Daniel Brewer. His son Walter was administrator and turned in a sale bill totaling $341.33.

Delana was born in Bloomington, ILL. At the age of 9 she moved with her parents to Osage Mission, Kansas, where she met and married David in 1869. After David died, she lived with her children. I remember her as a very tiny old lady.

David BREWER was born to Daniel Levi BREWER (of Mercer Co. KY) and Catherine HEDDEN (also of KY) on Oct 31 1850 in Putnam Co. IN . He died the 29th of August 1921 in Greenfield, Dade Co. MO.

David was the 5th of apparently 9 children, and the 4th son. Daniel was about 27 and Catherine about 28 when he was born.

When he was young, the family moved to Bloomington, Mclean Co. IL, where David’s future wife, Delana FOWLER, was born, 12 Sept. 1854, to John B. FOWLER and Mary Jane JOHNSON .

Shortly after the Civil War, the families moved to Osage Mission (St. Paul) Kansas, where David’s father, Daniel Levi Brewer, died 1868 April 20.

Delana FOWLER and David BREWER were married in Neosho, Kansas, 1 March 1869.

Their children:

    1. John David Brewer b. 1869 Dec 10 at the Osage Mission, Neosho, Kansas, died 1943 Feb 26 in Joplin, Jasper, Missouri, married in 1889 to Eva Hall, b. 1879 Aug in Missouri. They had 12 children.
    2. Mary Catherine Brewer b. 1872 Jan 10 in St. Paul, Kansas, died 1957 December 12 at Liberal, Missouri and was buried in the Englevale Cemetery in Englevale, Kansas. She married 1st George Spurling, then before 1939 a Rhodes (unknown), then Robert Lincoln Trent who was born 1878 April 5 in Galesburg, Kansas and died 1958 Feb 10 in Liberal, Missouri. (Thanks to Barbara Krogh for this information on Mary Catherine and Robert Trent. Her information is drawn from their death certificates and had differed from mine and so I’ve updated the information here. She also has Robert buried at Forest Chapel Cemetery as opposed to Carr’s Chapel Cemetery, which was the information I’d had.) Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. His sister Rose married Daniel Brewer.
    3. Daniel Brewer b. 1874 Jan 13 in Barton County, Missouri, died 1939 Jan 1 at Greenfield, Dade, Missouri, was buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. He married Rose E. Trent b. 1878 in Kansas, died 1948 and was buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery at Greenfield, Dade, Missouri.
    4. James William Brewer was born 1876 Jan 5 and died 1876 Aug 25.
    5. Elizabeth Jane “Bettie” Brewer was born 1877 July 22 in Barton County, Missouri. She died 1963 July 9 and was buried at the Liberal Cemetery in Liberal, Missouri. She married Ray Noyes. This family is written of elsewhere in this blog.
    6. Lewis Brewer was born 1880 May 19 in Barton County, Missouri and died 1932 May 19 in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. 1902 July 4 at Everton, Dade, Missouri he married Pearl Eva Jones b. 1885 May 5 at Everton, Dade, Missouri, died 1966 May 10.
    7. Lois Brewer was born 1880 May 19 at Barton County, Missouri and died 1881 January at Barton County, Missouri.
    8. Elmer Brewer was born 1883 Dec 25 and died 1919 May 1 at Greenfield Dade, Missouri. He is buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery, Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. He married Rosa Bell Jones, born 1885 July 25, died 1939 May 13. She was the daughter of Jim Jones and Lucy Coble.
    9. Alva Brewer was born 1885 Aug 10 at Barton County, Missouri and died 1909 May 24. He was buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri.
    10. Jessie Brewer was born 1888 Jan 10 at Barton County, Missouri and died in June 22, 1981 at Yakima City, Yakima County, Washington. She married about 1905 in Everton, Dade, Missouri to Levy Jones who was born 1883 December 28 and died 1952 December 28 in Yakima City. Both are buried at Tahoma Cemetery in Yakima. They had 3 children. (1) Herman C. Jones b. 1906 September 22, died 1977 March 9 in Yakima. (2) Herbert Leo Jones b. 1910 October 28, died 1989 March 7 at Yakima, married 1947 August 27 at Selah to Edna Lambeth who was born 1919 March 1. She died 2006 October 10 and was buried at West Hills Memorial Park in Yakima. They had no children of their own. (3) Burton Jones b. abt. 1917, died 1975 Nov 6 in Yakima. (Thanks to Barbara Krogh for this information on the family of Jessie and Levy.)
    11. Robert Walter Brewer was born 1890 Nov 15 and died 1969 in Joplin, Jasper, Missouri. He is buried at Carr’s Chapel Cemetery, Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. He married Edith S. Gilmore who was born about 1894 in Missouri.

Alva’s death was an accidental drowning in a swollen creek.

Ed Henderson notes,

These are a couple of letters from Rachel Jane Henderson to her niece, Mrs. Elmer (Mary Elizabeth Brewer) Porcupile, after the tragic death of her son, Nova Windom Henderson who died May 2, 1909 and a letter about the death of one of her brother Dave Brewer’s son’s (Alva). From “Six Generations of Brewers” by; Norma L. Roberts, 1976. Transcribed January 13, 2001 by Ed Henderson.

“May the 30, 09 Dear Neice
I will drop you a few lines this moring oh it is so lonsome to be hear by my self oh how I miss my poore boy he was all way in the house with me it seams as if every thing is gon. my hops ar all blasted this world is a sad world for me windom sayd de had not lived rightr but if he had lisened to his mother he would of been all right he spok of people joying church. as bad sick as he was & I told him if he wanted to joyn church it was all righ he culd he sayd he felt as if he was all right & was ready to go but he hated to leave me. oh you know my heart was breaking to hear him talk so for all I knew he culd not live if he did not mend soon.”

Alva died on May 24 1909. Following is the letter concerning his death.

“Dear Neice
I got a letter from Dave & they had the sad neuse of Alvaus death last monda him & walter drove in the crick & dide not know it was up & thair! bugie turned over & threw the boys out & alva thoug his team was not going to get out so he started to help the hourse out & steped offf in a dep whole & dround & they never found him untill the next day noon oh how sad it was for me to read that letter it broat every thing so frech to my minde oh how quick the poore boy was taking a way alva was such a good boy it is sade.”

Jessie and her husband, Levy JONES, are given as having resided in Yakima, Washington. Photos exist of Bettie Brewer NOYES visiting her sister, Jessie, there in Washington in later years. It would appear that Jessie and Levy didn’t move to Washington until after 1930 as they are still in the Dade Co., Missouri census in 1930. She was known to be living in Selah, Yakima Co., Washington at the time of her mother’s death, as evidenced in her mother’s obituary. She is not mentioned in the obituary of Bettie Brewer NOYES and so had perhaps deceased by then.

Jessie’s sibling, Lewis, married Pearl JONES.

Nancy notes on Walter,

Walter and his family lived near Oscaloosa, Missouri, when I was growing up. They moved to Joplin sometime during the 1940’s. Walter was a some-time preacher.

THE CENSUS INFO

I have yet to locate the family in the 1870 census.

The 1880 census shows the family in Central, Barton, Missouri.

Delana’s father died 1883 in Greenfield.

I have yet to locate the family in the 1900 census.

In 1902, David purchased acreage south of Greenfield, Missouri, which he sold to his son, Alva, in 1906. Nancy Benton furnishes the paper which I’ll post in another blog.

Dela’s mother died 1902 in Greenfield. David’s mother died in 1903 in Greenfield.

Nancy Benton writes that in 1906, David purchased, at Pilgrim, Dade, Missouri, Lots 18, 19 and 20 in Block 1.

I’ve a letter dated 1907 July 25 that David wrote to Jim Brewer, that was sent in care of Rachel Jane Henderson, their sister, who was living in Chautauqua County. I’ll post this in another blog.

Their place in the 1910 census is yet to be found.

In 1920 they were in Polk, Dade, Missouri.

John B. Fowler and Mary Jane Johnson

John B. FOWLER was born 5 Jan 1827 in Stokes, NC to William FOWLER and Elizabeth Louis WESTMORELAND. He died 22 May 1883 at Greenfield, Dade Co., MO. His grave is near the gate as one enters Carr’s Chapel Cemetery, Greenfield, MO.

John married Mary Jane JOHNSON who family history stated was born 9 Feb 1832 in NC and died 30 Jan 1902 in Greenfield, Dade Co. MO.

The family story is as follows:

John was a Union sympathizer and had to leave NC. Came to Bloomington, IL where he decided to settle. He disguised himself as a peddler and returned to NC to get the girl he loved. They eloped and were married and moved to Osage Mission, KS in 1863. Her family was so angry with her husband that she never heard from them again.

Nancy Benton notes that this was passed along to her from Cora Granger, related to the Brewers through the Spurlings (Mary Katherine Brewer, daughter of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana L. Jane Fowler, married George Spurling), along with family sheets prepared by Dottie Skinner Elliott, and that there was no source given other than family story. Which is fine. That’s how family stories usually go. But this one turns out to have some problems with the uncovering of a few undeniable facts.

I’ve found that Mary Jane’s parents were Robert Harrington Johnson and Barsheby (Bathsheba, Abersheby) Potter, and the JOHNSON family had actually migrated to Illinois, from Tennessee, when Mary Jane was little, her father dying in McLean County when she was only 5 years of age. She is in the 1840 and 1850 census with her mother who would die in McLean County in 1859, so both parents were dead before Mary Jane moved to Kansas. And in 1860 Mary Jane had family living in the McLean County area around her and her husband, John. So, that’s one story that appears to bite the dust, though it raises questions as to why the estrangement story would have arisen in the first place. The narrative may be accidentally assigned and belong to a relative, and it was thought because Mary Jane moved to Kansas that she was the one estranged, or there may have been an estrangement here which has become mixed with the story of yet another.

At any rate we have a family legend composed of a number of elements, some of which preserve a few truths.

Legend: John was from North Carolina.
What we know: This is is true. Place of origin is preserved.

Legend: John was a union sympathizer who had to leave the south.
What we know: John’s family was in North Carolina up to at least 1849. I’m unable to find them in the 1850 census yet but he and his parents were in McLean, Illinois by 1851 as that is when John and Mary Jane married. This part of the story may preserve political and philosophical beliefs held by the family and say something about their reason for moving north. The story seems to imply that John went north by himself, however, as if there was a break between he and his family as well, which there wasn’t as his family also moved to Osage Mission.

Legend: Came to Bloomington, IL where he decided to settle. However, loving a girl in North Carolina, he returned there, disguised as a peddler, to fetch her.
What we know: This preserves another geographical point and is true. Not true is the beloved being in North Carolina as Mary Jane was living in McLean and her family had been there a long while. The additional detail of being “disguised as a peddler” wants to add weight and veracity to the story. John becomes heroic and a trickster as well. He is also a lover who will go to great lengths for his beloved.

It may be that John, or John and his father, William, went to Illinois first, before the families moved, to scout out the area, then returned to North Carolina to fetch the family.

Legend: The pair elope.
What we know: Did they elope? We don’t know. They might have eloped in McLean. For all we know, one side of the family or the other may not have approved of the marriage.

Legend: They move to Osage Mission in 1863.
What we know: This preserves the migration to the west from Illinois and is true except for the fact that it’s a couple of years early.

Legend: Mary Jane’s family was furious over the marriage and never spoke to her again.
What we know: Again, for all we know there may have been strife over the marriage to John. But, as noted, both of her parents were dead long before the move to Kansas.

The following facts are for subsequent their marriage:

Child’s Birth: Robert William is born., Cir 1853. Will marry Lucinda Workman.

Child’s Birth: Delana is born., 12 Sept 1854. DIRECT LINE. Will marry David Nathaniel Brewer.

Child’s Birth: Martha is born., Cir 1858.

Child’s Birth: Cassander is born., 1858 Dec 18. Wil marry John F. Menzies, born in Canada, son of John and Elizabeth McFarland Menzies.

Death: John B. Fowler dies 1883 May 22 Greenfield, Dade, Missouri.

Mary Jane is yet to be located in the 1900 census.

Mary Jane died 1902 Jan 30 at Greenfield, Dade, Missouri and is buried at Carr’s Chapel, Cemetery.

Note that Nancy Benton’s Brewer Genealogy (compiled from a variety of sources and
original documents) gives John B. FOWLER as dying 1883 in Dade County.
However, in Delana Fowler Brewer’s obituaries her family is recorded as
moving to Dade County from Barton in 1895. Unless I have missed
something, I don’t observe a record of John B. FOWLER being buried in the
Carr’s Chapel Cemetery in Dade county where his wife and many other
members of the family are buried.
