Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

1262	Note from Joe Denbow, who along with his brother Dick, attended Bob's funeral: "Carl, I assume you had received notice that Bob Denbow died in August. He had a stroke about two or three years before his death which had left him without the use of his drawing arm. The family urged him to try his other hand to draw and with much effort he was able to use his creative artistic talent -- certainly not to the extent of his ability to create with his former hand, but it certainly assisted him to come out of a very low-esteem period when he was very depressed."

1283	Notes of Lois Jean Reid Edwards: Thomas (Tom) Reid married and hadtwo children. He was unable to find employment and became 'a King ofthe Road' seeking employment. He knew the schedules of the trains andcould hop from one to another to get where he wished. His wife diedwhen the girls were small, so they were left with his wife's parents,the Clarks. He came back to visit many times. About 1932 when timeswere very bad, he came to Punxsutawney and lived with his brother,Robert and wife, Bert. He was a great help around the house as hecould cook and clean. All the brothers in the family kept him inclothes and a little spending money. This information is from RuthReid Neal, Tom Reid's brother, Robert's, daughter. Ruth spoke fondlyof him. She said he was killed in the railroad yards of Elgin,Illinois, although some in the family say Taylor, Illinois. Cliff Swanthought he died in 1934, but Jean Reid Edwards thinks 1936 as sheremembers him visiting in their home overnight. Andrew Reid's obituarydated 29/1/1932 lists Tom as a Punxsy resident. Mary and Margaret,Tom's children, went to live with Belle Clark Reid's parents after shedied. They took the Clark name. Family members tell they lived inClymer at one time. Still searching.

1300	OBITUARY Thursday, 25 Jan 1906, Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield . . . . . IN MEMORIAM OF GEORGE DENBOW OF LEWISVILLE, MONROE CO., OHIO "On Jan. 13, 1906, just as the sun was settling, it was announced that the life of George Denbow had gone out, he lived a short time after he became afflicted. The news came as a thunderbolt from the clear sky. The physician claims his death was caused from a stroke of paralysis. He was born in Carroll County, Ohio, August 8, 1835, his age was 70 years, 5 months and 5 days. He enlisted in Capt. Brook's Company D, 27th O. V. I. He was a good soldier and remained in the front until the close of the war; during which time he never flinched from duty and thus displayed a loyalty to home and country that is beyond our province to question. And so it was in everything he undertook, whatever came he responded. Whenever friends needed his assistance, his action was of that decisive kind that impresses one with it genuineness. And now that he has passed to his reward, may we not believe that gentle mannerism in which he was taken is only evidence of God's approbation and as time goes one and we shall have occasion to reflect upon his life may we ever be ready to think and ponder the noble virtures of his life, believing in God our Father and Christ our Savior, that we shall grasp glad hands with him in a world when all imperfections cease, all sorrows fall and where we shall live eternally in heaven. George Denbow was buried in the Braken Cemetery on Monday in the afternoon of January 15, 1906. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Neeley of Summerfield, Ohio. His remains were laid to rest by his comrades of the Jas. P. Mann Post No. 267 Dept. of Ohio of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Sons of Veterans. The bereaved family and brothers have the heart felt sympathy of their many friends." -- A COMRADE	Denbow, George Washington (I1154)
