This living person has not agreed to be listed.
From Darlene Linsmeyer 3/18/05 - "I have lived in Butternut most of my life. Lived in Milwaukee for 5 years.
There I met and married my first husband, Brice Nealey. He had 3 children
when we got married. We were married 3 years and I was expecting my first
child when he was killed in a motorcycle accident. (May, 1960)."
This living person agreed to be listed.
Andrew and Matilda's daughter Martha Jane White married the boy next door, her possible cousin, Henry White, son of Robert and Jane White, on December 24, 1861. Their first child, Samuel David, was born in 1862. The Sherard History says Henry fought in The Civil War and died of his injuries. I haven't yet found his military record. After the Civil War Martha and Henry had two more sons, Robert in 1866, and Henry in 1870. By the time of the 1870 census, Henry Sr. had died and Martha and the three boys were living with her brother Samuel. In 1872 she married James Sherard, who had been living with his uncle and family in Irish Hollow. There is no mention of little Henry after the 1870 census, so he must have died, but Sam and Robert as well as their old neighbors from Irish Hollow, James and William Black, all accompanied James and Martha on the three week trek to Dakota Territory soon after their marriage. What an adventure that must have been! The 1910 census shows that Martha has had 13 children, only 9 of whom are living. Besides baby Henry, three Sherard children must have died as well. Martha and James were good hearted people. The 1900 census shows them with six children still at home and in addition they are caring for three nieces and Martha's handicapped sister Ann Eliza. Read more about the Sherards in the article titled "Sherard Family" in the sources for Martha. Martha and James lived and farmed in Turner County, South Dakota until they died, Martha in 1914 and James in 1919. Many of their descendants stayed in South Dakota. Some moved on to Oregon.
1900 Census - Martha is caring for her sister, Eliza, described as "invalid." Also living with the family are:
Ida May Sherard - age 10 - born in Minnesota - niece
Agga Sherard - age 9 - " "
Bell White - age 16 - born in Illinois "
1920 Census - Belle is living with her half-brother, Robert White, and his wife. She is called "Mary B." on this census.
