Samuel S. Riddle

Among the leading and influential citizens of Franklin township is numbered the gentleman whose name introduces this sketch, his home being on section 14. A native of Pennsylvania, he was born in Bedford county, on the 9th of November, 1831, and is a son of George F. Riddle, who was born near Harper's Ferry, Virginia. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Riddle, was a Scotchman by birth, and was reared in his native land. On his emigration to the new world in an early day he located in Virginia, but afterward removed to Bedford county, Pennsylvania, where he bought a large farm, making it his home throughout the remainder of his life. Like his father, George F. Riddle, was also an agriculturist. Desiring to try his fortune in the west he removed to La Salle county, Illinois, in 1858, and for four years made his home on a farm one mile from Mendota. He then came to Iowa, and for a year resided near Marengo. At the end of that time he became a resident of Linn county, purchasing a farm near Lisbon, and to its cultivation and improvement he devoted the remainder of his life, his death occuring there in April 1867. In early manhood he married Miss Sophia Sill, a native of Bedford county, Pennsylvania, and a daughter of Daniel and Catherine Sill, who were of English descent. She survived her husband about twelve years, and died on the home farm in 1879. They had a family of eight children, seven sons and one daughter, of whom our subject was fourth in order of birth.

Samuel S. Riddle passed the days of his boyhood and youth in the county of his nativity, and is indebted to its common schools for his educaional privileges. On leaving home in 1854 he went to New York city, where he spent one year with an elder brother, and then returned to his father's farm. In 1856 he was united in marriage with Harriet Spang, who was born in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Rudolph and Mary (Dunarbarger) Spang. A year later they left their native state and removed to Mendota, Illinois, where Mr. Riddle conducted a store for one year, and then turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, operating a rented farm ner that place until 1861. He then came to Iowa, and after living on his father's farm for a year, he purchased land on section 1, Franklin township, this county, where he made his home for four years. On disposing of that property he located on his brother's farm, where the following three years were spent, and at the end of that time he bought a farm on section 15. Franklin township, which he occupied until 1884, when he rented it and removed to his present farm on section 14, the same township. This place is conveniently located on the main road from Mt. Vernon to Lisbon, and is one of the most desirable farms in that locality. Its neat and thrifty appearance evidences the skill and ability of the owner in his chosen calling, as well as his sound judgement in business affairs. Good and substantial buildings are surrounded by well tilled fields, and all of the conveniences and accessories of a model farm are there found.

Unto Mr. and Mrs. Riddle were born six children, namely: Calvin, War Bell, Hattie, Laura Ceclia, Eva S. and Lloyd Edwin. They are people of the highest respectability and are quite prominent socially in the communities where they reside. In religious faith they are Lutherans and in political sentiment Mr. Riddle is an ardent Republican.

Insane Man Slays Farmer At Sandy

Marion Boitano Beaten to Death With Club

Slayer Under Arrest

John Haley, Formerly Patient in State Hospital, in Jail on Murder
Charges

Oregon City, Or. Oct 16 (Special)- Facing first-degree murder
charges, John J. Haley, 42, farmer and livestock dealer of Sandy
Ridge, is in the county jail here following the death this
morning of Marion Boitano, 40, Italian farmer-neighbor.

Boitano's body was found in the Sandy Ridge road in from of his
farm home about 7:30 a.m. by Deputy Sheriff W.G. Duncan of Sandy
who had been notified that a nude man (Haley) had been in that
vicinity. Boitano's head had been crushed beyond recognition.
Haley is believed to have struck the Italian and later clubbed
him.

Haley, who was confined to the state hospital at Salem from
February 9 to June 16 in 1929, said some strange power caused him
to remove his clothes enroute to the Boitano home. He said he
had no intention of murdering Boitano when he went to his farm,
but became enraged when Boitano motioned to some schoolgirls in
an effort to prevent them from passing the nude man. Haley said
he struck Boitano with his fist, knocking him down, and then
proceeded to club him. He was captured by Deputy Sheriff Duncan
a short distance from the scene of the murder.

Sheriff Maas, who brought the alleged murderer here from Sandy,
reported that Haley, with an Italian, found the body of Natale
Vareaco, who was clubbed to death in his barn at Clackamas
September 11, 1932, and believes the Clackamas crime preyed upon
Haley's mind. Haley had gone to Vareaco's home to sell the
Italian a cow, and, not finding Vareaco in the house, had looked
for him in the barn, where he found his body. Walter Johnson of
Clackamas confessed the Vareaco murder, saying he acted in self-
defense. Johnson was acquitted.

Boitano, who was a prominent farmer of the Sandy Ridge section,
had lived in that locality since 1903. He leaves his widow
Leugenia, and three children - Hugo, 18; Floyd, 15, and Eugene,
10.

The scene of the murder was in the same neighborhood where Edward
Flatau, farmer shot and killed his wife and daughter last March
and then committed suicide.

Haley, whose case will be considered by the grand jury Wednesday,
was said to have had frequent disagreements with his neighbors,
and told officers here today that he killed Boitano because he
liked him and did not want to see him mixed up in Haley's
quarrels.

Haley Guilty of Murder in 2nd Degree

Oregon City, Oct. 23 --John J. Haley, Sandy Ridge Farmer who
killed a friend, Mario Boitano, on the morning of October 16 by
beating him over the head with a club, was found guilty of second
degree murder by a jury in circuit court last night, the verdict
being returned at 11:10 after less than five hours deliberation.
Judge Latourette announced that he would pass sentence Monday
morning, the penalty for the crime being life imprisonment in the
state penitentiary.

The jury received the case at 5:30 and after an hour for dinner
started to consider the evidence. At 8 o'clock judge Latourette
was asked information as to the punishment for second degree
murder but he informed the jurors that they were not concerned
with the penalty, that being a matter for the court to decide.
Before retiring the jury was informed that it could return any of
the following verdicts: Guilty of first degree murder, guilty of
first degree murder with recommendation of life imprisonment,
guilty of second degree murder, guilty of manslaughter, or not
guilty.

John J. Beckman of Portland, defense counsel, called 12 witnesses
in his effort to prove that Haley was insane at the time of the
crime and was still in that condition. Neighbors testified that
Haley had acted in a queer manner by disrobing himself and then
running across fields yelling and shouting. Mr. and Mrs. R.E.
Greenwell, and F. Slacsky, who saw that he had acted in a
peculiar manner and William Widman, who had known the accused man
since boyhood, told of different times when Haley had disrobed
and walked along the highway.

Deputy Sheriff Hughes, who has been guarding Haley during the day
time, stated that the man disrobes himself because he claims that
he hears strange voices that order him to do so. Dr. F.M.
Dammasch of Portland, who examined Haley Thursday, and Dr. A.H.
Johnston, county health officer, both stated that the man was
insane while Dr. G.H. Strickland, who also made an examination,
said Haley was sane.

William and Mary Haley, brother and sister of the accused man,
testified that Haley was normal until he had typhoid fever when
was 20 years of age and at that time he disappeared for three
days and was finally located at the home of a neighbor. They
also told the court that their brother had been confined to a
sanitarium for six weeks in 1927 and that in 1929 he was in the
state insane asylum for four months.

The case attracted considerable attention and the courtroom was
crowded both days of the trial.

Per Oregon State Penitentiary records, John Haley was transfered to the Oregon State Hospital from the Penitentiaryon March 27, 1953;

363 1954 Biographical Sketch: [2522] "Stiehl, Abraham - of Steinbach (Kreis Simmern), 'has made up his mind to go to Pennsylvania;' is, with wife and four children, freed from vassalage on payment of 32 florins for manumission and 29 florins for tithe. (Johann Abraham Stiehl, Ship Patience, August 11, 1750)."

Undated Biographical Sketch: [2521] "My research on the Steel family suggests that Christopher was the son of Abraham Stihl who arrived in Philadelphia 11 Aug 1750 aboard the Patience. Abraham was dead by 12 Dec 1751 when his widow, Anna Margaretha (then married to a second husband) filed proceedings on his estate. You state that Christopher was 'once a staunch Lutheran.' In my research I have never found him in any church records in Bucks Co. I do find other Stihls (Steeles) in the Reformed Church in Bucks County who I think are related to Christopher - brothers perhaps. There was a George Steele who settled in Frederick County, Maryland, "west of the Catoctin Mountains," by 1784 who was also from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where some of his children were baptized in a Reformed Church as were some of the children of one Abraham Steele, his brother. I am inclined to think that Christopher, Abraham, and George were brothers. Coincidentally, each named his first born son, Abraham."

1750 Immigration: [2523] Johann Abraham Stiehl arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam, but last from Cowes, on August 11, 1750, on the ship Patience, with Captain Hugh Steel. Of the 266 passengers, Johann Abraham Stiehl and 123 others took the oath of abjuration.

1750 Notice in The Pennsylvania Gazette: [2524] 16 August 1750, "For Charles Town, South Carolina, directly, the ship Patience, Hugh Steel, commander; will certainly sail by the middle of September. For freight or passage, apply to Charles and Alexander Stedman, or said master, N. B. She has good accommodations for passengers."

368 1985 Biographical Sketch: [491] "A second proof of Barbara Steele's ancestry was found in a document which George Baughman and his wife, Barbara Steele, made in 1785. In this document they gave power of attorney to George's brother, Jacob Bachman. The document, called a 'Letter of Money, George Bachman to Jacob Bachman,' was made in Northampton County. It is on file in the Courthouse in Easton. [492] Unfortunately the document had been filmed so that the available copy has white
lettering on a black background. It was impossible to get a photocopy. Two of us who are interested in the Bachman family have tried to obtain the original book with the original copy. Both of us have been unsuccessful. The document reads as follows:

"Know all men by these presents that George Bachman of Springfield Township in the County of Bucks in the state of Pennsylvania, Carpenter, and Barbara his wife late Barbara Stiehl being a daughter of Christopher Stiehl some time of the same place but late of Frederick County in the State of Maryland Farmer (or Tanner) deceased Have made and examined Constituted and appointed their trusty friend and brother, Jacob Bachman of the same county of Northampton in the state aforesaid Gentm. their true and lawful attorney for them and in their name and for their own proper use and benefit to ask demand recover and receive of and from the presenters of administrators of the said Christopher Stiehl deceased all such legacies, share, or shares divident or divident given or bequeathed unto them the said George Bachman and Barbara his wife of late Barbara Stiehl." Signed by George Bachman, X Barbara (her mark) 8 January 1785.

Barbara's father, Christopher Stiehl, evidently had left her in Springfield Township with her grandparents. He died in Frederick County, Maryland, but when he went there I was unable to ascertain. Christopher Stiehl made a will 2 October 1782. It was recorded in Frederick County, Maryland, following his death on 16 October 1782. [488]

From his will I learned the following about Christopher Stiehl. He was a farmer and a turner. A turner was a person who either worked in a sawmill, or in carpentry work - e.g. turning a lathe. He had married a second time to a woman named Catherine. By his second wife he had a son Abraham to whom he willed ' . . . all my Turning Tools and such other tools as am I obliged to make use of in my Turning Trade . . . ' He owned a Plantation on Spring Plains. His ten children, all by his second wife, were Elizabeth, Abraham, Catherine, Mary, Hannah, Susanna, Sarah, Eve, Solome, and Christopher.

In his will he did not provide for Barbara Stiehl, the only child by his first wife. At the time of her father's death, Barbara was twenty years old and had been married for one year. Whether or not Jacob Bachman, Barbara's designated attorney, was ever able to acquire any money or property for her from Christopher Stiehl's estate is not known."

1997 Biographical Sketch: [489] "Christopher Stahl / Steele, once a staunch Lutheran, married into Dunker families. . . . Christopher Steele who had purchased his land Spring Plains from Dunker minister, Jacob Danner, of the Beaver Dam Brethren settlement (Bk. K:811) in 1766, apparently became a member of the Brethren, for he was fined by the Committee of Observation as a 'non-associator' on Apr. 12, 1776, but was reduced from ?6.10 to ?4.10 on June 18, 1776, because of hardship. (See Maryland Historical Magazine, v. XI, no. 3, Sept. 1916, p. 257). He was deceased by 1782. His will, written Oct. 2, 1782 was probated in Frederick County on Oct. 16, 1782. (Bk. GM:275). Steele's second wife, Catharine Wine Steele, was one of three designated executors. Named children were: Elizabeth, Abraham, Catharine, Mary Hannah, Susanna, Sarah, Eva, Solome, Christopher. Several of the Steele children moved to Rockingham County, some descendants marrying into the Bowman family." 
STEELE, Christopher (I1438)
 
369 1985 Biographical Sketch: [494] "A source of proof of Barbara Steele's ancestry is found in the will of Johannes Schlieffer. Johannes was the immigrant ancestor who was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1729. [495] His will was written: . . . the fifth day of May in the seventh year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the third by the Grace of God King of Great Britain France Ireland King Defender of the Faith Anno Domini One thousand seven hundred and sixty seven. [493]

At the time he made this will he lived in Springfield township in Bucks County. However, in his will he asked that after his death the Executors ' . . . shall sell my land and grist mill situate and lying and being in the Township of upper Saccon in the County of Northampton . . . " He must have been a neighbor of the John George Bachmans.

In his will Johannes named his wife, Barbara Schlieffer and his children: namely, John, Jacob, Abraham, David, Henry, Samuel, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Catherine. The information of value to this study was that he also named '. . . Barbara Steele the only daughter and child of my eldest daughter Mary deceased ... '

From this will of Johannes Schlieffer we have determined that Barbara Steele's mother's name was Mary Schlieffer; grandmother, Barbara Schlieffer; and her grandfather, Johannes Schlieffer."

1738 Possible Immigration: [496] A Johannis Sleipher arrived in Philadelphia on 11 Sep 1738 on the ship Robert and Alice; Johannis signed the oaths of allegiance and abjuration with his mark (O). [Note: The Robert and Alice carried 106 men and 53 women for a total of 159 persons. [497]]

1739 Possible Immigration: [498] A Johannis Schleipffer, age 21, arrived in Philadelphia on 11 Dec 1739 on the ship Lydia; Joahnnis signed the oaths of allegiance and abjuration. 
SCHLEIFFER, Johannes (I1441)
 
370 1986 Biographical Sketch: [1650] "Johann Jacob Schnebele (b. ca. 1620-30, prob. Affoltern am Albis, Canton Zrich, Switzerland) may be the Johann Jacob Schnebele of Ibersheim Hof, owner of the Bible inscribed 'This Bible belongs to the House of
Jacob Schnebeli of Ibersheim and came into my possession in 1696. Johannes Jacob Schnebley.'" A second inscription, 'This Bible belongs to Wendelteiss Schnebelli and is in love so recorded in the year of our lord 1708,' indicates that it was
passed down to another family member, perhaps on the death of this Johann Jacob. [1651] Ibersheim Hof is near Heilbronn (on the Neckar River), south of Heidelberg and Mannheim, on the main route of the Mennonite migration."

1995 Biographical Sketch: [1649] "Jacob Schnebeli, b. 7 Dec 1645. He married Barbara Habersaat of Aeugst. They were both living at Affoltern, Zurich in 1695 and 1708. Barbara died 21 Feb 1711. Her death was recorded at the end of the year in
the church register of Affoltern which may mean that it occurred away from Affoltern. Jacob lived at Mannheim, Germany in 1717 as a Mennonite widower. In 1711 he wrote a letter to fellow Mennonite Jacob Frey in Switzerland. He may have signed a
letter at Mannheim in 1727. He gave a Bible to Dielman Kolb before Kolb's departure for Pennsylvania in 1717. Dielman Kolb married Elisabeth widow of Jacob Schnebeli, son of this Jacob Schnebeli." 
SCHNEBELE, Johan Jacob (I1420)
 
371 1997 Biographical Sketch: [2949] "Antagonism between the state pastor at Richterswil and those straying brethern outside his flock was made obvious in the official marriage and baptismal register kept at the church. In southwest Canton Zrich, many Anabaptist families reluctantly submitted to the expensive, theologically insulting and unwanted blessings that the state church could bestow on them. Occasionally, they plainly resisted, but that was a sure way to draw harsh attention and
penalties down on their heads.
For example, Johannes Jacob Bachman (1629) and Regula Strickler never had their son Jos baptized in 1657 
BACHMAN, Hans Jacob (I1435)
 
372 1997 Biographical Sketch: [489] "Catherine was a daughter of George and Margaret (Horn) Wine and a sister to Michael Wine (died 1822) in whose house the Brethren of Flat Rock Church met for services, and whose house accommodated Yearly Meeting of the Brethren in 1794. The Wines had lived in a Dunker community in York County, and then moved to the Israel Creek Community of Beaver Dam Congregation in Frederick County, Maryland. George and Margaret Wine are the ancestors of most Brethern Wine families. The will of George Wine in Frederick County, Maryland names daughter "Catharine married to a Bowman'. [501]

After Steele's death in 1782, Catharine, acting as executor, sold land in Frederick County in December 1787. The deed describes her as Catharine Steel, alias of Catharine Bowman. This shows that her marriage to Jacob Bowman, Sr., had occurred prior to that date. Catharine had already had nine children and was likely around the age of forty-two to forty five. Her parents had been married in Germany in 1741, and Catharine's first child is said to have been born in 1764. The date and place of Catharine's birth is not known. Although family tradition mentions that two of her brothers had been born in Germany before the family's immigration to Lancaster County in 1748, her age remains a mystery. Catharine had one child by Jacob Bowman, Sr., Frances, born ca. 1787. . . .

After Jacob Bowman's death in 1803, widow Catharine was remarried on May 22, 1804, to Christian Frye, the minister being her step-son Benjamin Bowman. The bond to settle the estate of Christian Fry was dated August 20, 1811, with Christian Coffman serving as executor and Christian Funk providing bond. Catharine Frye's death occurred in 1814, with Joseph Bowman being appointed executor and Adam Shoultz / Shultz providing bond.

After the death of her (Frances') father, Jacob Bowman, Sr., the court appointed John Markle who had married Frances' half sister Solome Steele, to be her guardian. Casper Huffard, who had married Frances' half sister Catherine Steele, provided bond. Both of these families were living nearby in Rockingham County at the time. The Guardian Bond for this court action states that Jacob was the father of Frances. Frances Bowman did not wait to come of age before she married. Her marriage
was recorded as occurring on September 20, 1804, to George Bright with Peter Bright being assigned as guardian. After some time, the Brights, Markels, and Huffards moved to Fairfield County, Ohio."

1787 Land Sale: [501] In 1787, five years after Christopher Steel's death, his Spring Plains estate is sold by "Catharine Bowman, alias Steel executrix and John Grabell and Charles Dorsey, executors of the above said Christopher Steel, all of Frederick County." 
WINE, Catharine (I1455)
 
373 1997 Biographical Sketch: [489] "His first wife was Mary (d. 1763), daughter of Johannes Schleifer, immigrant of 1739 and descendant of an ancient Anabaptist family, whose ancestors Hans Schleifer was martyred in the sixteenth century. Johannes was baptized by Elder Peter Becker into the Great Swamp Brethren Congregation. His son, John Schleifer, was the first resident minister at Broad Run, Middletown Valley, Frederick County, Maryland. Johannes was a brother of Mary Steele."
1767 Death: [493] Mary Schleiffer was deceased at the time her father Johannes made his will in 1767.

a leading business man of this city where he has resided for the past
thirty-five years. He was born in 1868, in Armstrong County,Pa. His
father was the late J.R. Spang. George A. Spang was a child when his
parents moved to Butler and he obtained his education in the Butler
Schools. He was but a boy, however, when the burden of his own support
fell upon him and he began his earning of money by driving a dray. Later
he went to Pittsburg where he learned the Machinist trade with the firm
of Swain & Angel, remaining for three years and then returned to Butler.
About this time he suffered an injury to his eyes and was obliged to
give up working at his trade for 2 1/2 years, during this period finding
employment in the Klingler mills. By that time his eyes had sufficiently
been strengthened so that he could resume work as a machinist and in
1894, although he had not a dollar of capital, he determined to go into
business for himself and depend upon his skill and in-industry to bring
him custom and success. He secured a machine shop in the old Cuthbert
Building, on the same place where his commodious shops, with all their
expensive machinery are situated, but in six weeks time he found a better
business opening at Glade Mills. He remained there for three and
one-half years and then resided for the same length of time at Renfrew,
after which he came back to Butler. He first leased his present property
and later purchased it. In 1901, The Spang Co. was established, and in
1908 the business was incorporated with J. F. Anderson as president and
George A. Spang as treasurer and manager. In the same year the company
put up a fine reinforced concrete building with dimensions of 62 by 122
feet, divied into two stores. Mr. Spang has about 100 men in his employ
and has the superintendence of all of the business. In August, 1904, a
branch shop was started in Coffeyville, Kansas, in the Kansas oil fields,
and in May, 1908 another shop was established at Tulsa, Oklahoma, both of
them being still in operation, and all the property on which the plants
are located are owned by the Spang Co. This company manufactures all
kinds of oil well supplies and makes a specialty of oil well packing. In
1890, Mr Spang was married to Miss Laura A. Brandon, of Butler and have
five children: Lillian, Ferdinand, Loyal, Mildred and Everett. With his
family, Mr. Spang belongs to the Second Presbyterian Church of Bulter.
He is a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the Mystic Shrine. In
recalling the events of this successful and representative man, it will
be observed that he has prospered on account of his own efforts,
independent of any assistance, and he may well be proud, when he recalls
how he has overcome the various handicaps of his early manhood. He is
one of Butler's most respected Citizens.

OBITUARY
Newcastle, Indiana, Courier, Wednesday, August 9, 1922

Wm. Muzzy, a man of sterling worth, was born in Knightstown, Ind., November 10, 1838. He was the son of James and Mary Muzzy.
Up to the age of 23 he was a farmer, and on April 18, 1861 he answered the call of volunteers to defend the Constitution and the old flag he loved. Three times he enlisted and was three times honorably discharged, his final discharge dated September 20, 1865.
After the close of the war he was married to Mary L. Conklin. To them were born five children, Carrie, Cora, Maude and Claude (twins) and Ethalind.
He was generous to the needy, almost to a fault, and the reputation he maintained for honesty and integrity was beyond reproach. He relished a joke and his humorous nature and disposition for making acquaintances made for him a legion of friends.
In 1879, he made a confession of faith in Christ and became a member of the Mt. Summit Christian church.
Mr. Muzzy was a harness maker by trade and for several years plied his trade in Mt. Summit. Six years ago at the age of 78 (long after he had passed the allotted three score and ten), the burden of years began to weigh him down and with much regret he and his faithful help-mate sold their little home in Mt. Summit and went to Newcastle to live with their children. Although he suffered night and day since that time, his iron constitution and wonderful vitality bore him up until at 5 o?clock on the morning of August 5, the bugle from on high sounded the last taps and he peacefully went to
sleep, in that land from which no traveler has ever yet returned, aged 84 years, 8 months and 25 days. Although his faithful wife and loving children will miss him, they know that God knows best and feel a keen sense of satisfaction in knowing he will suffer no more.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Carry Hinshaw, North 18th steet, Newcastle, Mrs. Maude Locker, Grand avenue, Newcastle, and Mrs. Etha Smith, Sulphur Springs, and one son, Claude, Walnut street, Newcastle, one brother, James, the last of seven brothers, of Bryant, Ill, still lives. There are seventeen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. One daughter, Cora, preceded him to the other world in June, 1903.
Let me so live that when the summons comes to join the innumerable caravan that moves on towards that Mysterious Realm, I can wrap the draperies of my couch about me and lie down to pleasant dreams.
