Last Part of Info given by Irene Carrington Daugherty's Cousin

This is the conclusion of March 30th post citing information from old yellowed notes put together by a Bartholomew cousin of grandma Irene Carrington Daugherty. There are no sources listed. I'm to the point where Mary Montgomery Bartholomew, my 2rd great grandmother comes in.

Mary was born March 23, 1835, and married William Ward Carrington, in 1860. No death date is mentioned in this document, however, I've learned more about her death. My purpose is to go over what is included HERE and making observations. She was a school teacher in northern New York. Mary and William settled near LaCrosse, WI. Again, I'll share in later postings what I've learned about their early life and marriage.

There were four children born of this union; Lucius (my ggrandfather), Lizzie, Thirza (the subject of my Jan. 6 posting), and William. Lucius was born in 1862 and married Rosetta Wilson, Dec. 2, 1891 near Wessington, SD. He "was a progressive farmer, filing a homestead north of Wessington in Gilbert Township, Hand County. He was township clerk for many years. He was an expert checker player. He died on Oct. 19, 1910 after a series of illnesses (dropsy, Bright's disease, heart ailment). Rosetta (born Dec. 2, 1869) died March 15, 1931 at the age of 62.

The children of Lucius and Rosetta include Mildred, b. August 29th, 1892. She married Harry Deaver and had two children, Doris and Glenn C. After the death of Mr. Deaver, she married Charles Daugherty.

Other children were Mary Mae, Irene (my grandmother), Hugh, Laura, Gladys, and Elda.
Irene was born Oct. 19, 1897 and married Fred I. Daughter. No marriage listed.

This is the end of this particular piece of information. Again, I would like to know more specifically about the author. I was told it was a cousin of Gram's from New York State who never married. I've sent for the history of the Bartholomew Family written by George Bartholomew. I've been told that there are a number of inaccuracies, but am anxious to compare the above info with that of George's. Mary Montgomery Bartholomew was one of 12 children, so perhaps the writer was from one of these families.
