6 Early Bolinger History Our story begins with Frederick Bolinger (Bō -ling-er), his wife Catherine and their sons-george, John, Jacob and Peter-who immigrated to America in the early 1830s. Within a few years, if not before, Frederick purchased land in Pike County, Ohio as reflected on the Public Land Purchase document approved by President Martin Van Buren on August 1, Prior to coming to America, Frederick served in the army of Napoleon. During the Napoleonic wars, it was not uncommon for Napoleon to draw troops for his army from the various territories he conquered. By 1807 Napoleon ruled virtually the entire European continent, except for Britain. This is a likely time that Frederick Bolinger, age 18, was placed in the service of Napoleon s armies as were thousands of other men from the various German states. One reflection of his service is found in the History of Logan County (Illinois) as recorded in the entry for his son John Bolinger. However, that recollection stated that Frederick served eight years in the army under Napoleon and covered such military actions as the crossing of the Alps to the Battle of Waterloo, his service ending with the final overthrow of Napoleon. However, Napoleon marched his troops over the Alps and through the St. Bernard Pass in mid-winter of His defeat at Waterloo was not until 15 years later on June 18, So if the eight years service is correct, Frederick would have been actively engaged in the 1812 ill-starred campaign against Russia. He would have witnessed the burning of Moscow, being one of the few survivors of the disastrous retreat that followed. The entry in the History of Logan County also recorded that Frederick fought in the battle of Waterloo (1815), his service ending with the final overthrow of Napoleon would have provided Frederick eight years of forced military service for a foreign power. As he began raising a family, which included at least four sons out of the first five children, the desire to avoid the prospect of forced military service for his sons may have been a factor in emigrating from Germany to America. In 1850 the Bolinger family was still living in Pike County, Ohio as reflected in the 1850 federal census below. The History of Logan County also records an entry for Jacob Bolinger, son of Frederick and Catherine. Jacob s birth date is recorded as December 26, 1833 and it is noted that his family immigrated before Jacob was two years of age. However, the census indicates that his brother Peter, 14, was also born in Germany. All this leaves their exact arrival date a mystery at this point, but all the recollections point to an early to mid-1830s arrival and by 1839 Frederick was purchasing farmland and Catherine had given birth to an American-born daughter, Catherine. The Bolinger family became friends with the family of Conrad Biebinger who arrived in America with a brother and three of his sons December 31, In 1848 Conrad married Christina Bolinger, an older daughter of Frederick s who had recently come to America. Thereafter, two of Frederick s sons, John and Jacob, also married into the Biebinger family. John Bolinger married Ann Elizabeth Biebinger in 1853 and Jacob Bolinger married her sister, Francis Biebinger, in Ann and Francis were born in Germany to Conrad and his first wife Maria Keck. In the early 1870 s John, Jacob & Catherine Bolinger moved their families to New Holland, Illinois. Following Conrad s death Christina, the older Bolinger sister, married Charles Bushman and settled in Ironton, OH. 6

12 Francis (Franziska) Biebinger Bolinger 1898 Age 63 Franziska Biebinger was born 18 March 1835 in Mutterstadt Pfalz Bayern, Germany. Her father was Conrad Biebinger and her mother s maiden name was Maria Katherina Keck. Franziska had six brothers & sisters & two half-sisters: Ann Elizabeth, Jacob, Johann, Frederick, Eva Margaetha, Adam, and Carrie & Elizabeth. Franziska arrived in America with her father and brothers 31 Dec 1846 on the ship Iowa. They settled in Ohio and were joined by Ann Elizabeth who arrived in Franziska changed to Francis and on 9 Mar 1855 she married Jacob Bolinger in Scioto County, Ohio. Their first five children were born in Ohio. The family moved to New Holland, Ill. around 1870 where Jacob engaged in farming. Three more children were born in New Holland.

14 Mary Catherine Bolinger Mary Catherine Bolinger was the 1st child of Jacob and Francis. She was born May 12, 1856 in Ohio. By 1870 she and her family had moved to Sheridan Township, in Logan County, Illinois. In 1879 she married David Henry LaForge, a native of the New Holland area. It was here that Mary Catherine Katie and David raised their family of eight children. David farmed the land of New Holland for most of his life. On the following pages is a glimpse of their family as well as a brief glimpse of their children s families.

16 Martling David LaForge Martling David LaForge was the 1st child from the marriage of David LaForge and Mary Catherine Bolinger. Born October 6, 1881 in New Holland, his first name was likely in honor of his paternal grandfather, Martling R. LaForge, and his middle name from his father David H. LaForge. Martling, like his Dad, made his career farming in New Holland. He married Martha C. Zimmerman and they had one child who died in infancy. Martling and Martha are buried in Richmond Grove Cemetery In New Holland, Illinois 16

17 Grace L. LaForge The David and Katie La- Forge family soon expanded to three children with the birth of Grace L. La- Forge August 16, 1883 and later her sister Catharine. In this early picture of the two sisters Grace is on the left and Catharine is on the right. Grace married James Peters, perhaps pictured on her collar brooch. They lived in Mason City and had three children: John David m. Elsie Boeck Marian m. Cecil Potorff Betty Jean died at 13. The LaForge children often wrote their first cousins in Ironton Ohio. This post card, from Grace, was sent as a Christmas Greeting but during a somewhat gloomy day. Tulip Quilt Made By Grace Mason City Cemetery 17

18 Catharine Gertrude LaForge Catharine Gertrude LaForge was born May 23, In this picture Catharine is on the right next to her brother William. Catharine, like all the LaForge children, grew up in New Holland. Catharine married Julius Duginger and they had three children: Helen Irene Duginger m. George Cecil Edwin Duginger - died in infancy Bonita Mae Duginger m. Paul Gambrel Catharine remarried, following Julius death, to Oscar Smith. There were no children from the second marriage. Catharine sent the postcard below in Catharine Right: Catharine s daughters Bonnie Mae Gambrel and Helen Irene Cecil enjoy a get-together in New Holland. Helen s aunt, Emily LaForge White, organized a neighbors Dresden Plate Friendship Quilt. Helen s handiwork is to the right. 18

19 Garrett Martling LaForge Garrett Martling LaForge was the 4th child born to David and Katie LaForge. He died in his youth, at the age of two, and rests in Richmond Grove Cemetery surrounded by the beautiful farming countryside that has been farmed by his La- Forge and Bolinger ancestors for over 150 years. Garrett Martling LaForge s life may have been short-lived, but his name reflects a unique legacy of family history. In September 1809 his great-grandfather Garrett M. LaForge was born in Richmond County, New York. According to the History of Logan County , Garrett engaged in the grocery business in New York City from 1828 to 1835 and then returned to Richmond County and began farming. He came to Illinois in 1854 and farmed in Lee County until At that time, he relocated to Logan County on a 1620 acre tract he purchased. Most of his parcel of land was in Sheridan Township, but part of it extended into Mason City. Garrett married Catherine J. Martling in 1830 and they had three children: Martling R. LaForge m. Catherine A. Thorn Emily Thompson LaForge David C. LaForge Garrett M. LaForge monument Richmond Grove Cemetery Martling R. LaForge was also born in New York City in 1832 and married Catherine A. Thorn in 1854 and that same year accompanied his father to Illinois. Their children were: Kate Amelia m. (1)John Lampe and (2)John Sharp David Henry LaForge m. Mary Catherine Bolinger Gertrude Martling m. Ben Talbott Martling R. LaForge monument Richmond Grove Cemetery David Henry LaForge and his wife Mary Catherine Katie are also in Richmond Grove Cemetery So we can see from this family history that Garrett Martling LaForge s first name was given in honor of his greatgrandfather Garrett M. LaForge and his middle name was in honor of his great-grandmother s maiden name of Martling or his grandfather s first name of Martling. We also see another ancestor connection used by Dave and Katie LaForge in naming their children. Their first son Martling obviously bears an ancestral tradition, but their third daughter, Emily Thompson LaForge, also bears the name of her father s aunt Emily Thompson. 19

20 Emily Thompson LaForge 90th Birthday Emily Thompson LaForge was the 5th child of David and Katie LaForge. She was born February 21, 1891 in New Holland and married George White March 15, They had two children: Mary Catherine m. George David Fletcher John L. m. Muriel Barrett Emily and George s homestead is pictured above. Her handiwork is displayed in her lovely Lavender Blocks quilt. 20

22 William McKinley LaForge Eleanor Marie Born December 6, 1893, William McKinley LaForge was the 6th of the LaForge children. He and Bertha Straub were married at the age of 24, right about the time William entered the service for World War I. After the war William and Bertha had five children whom they raised and supported through farming, first as a partner with his father and eventually as an independent farmer. Their children: Margaret Catherine m. Gerald Parr Eleanor Marie m. William Crum David Herbert m. Ann Barkley William Gary m. Sonja Weller Wayne Joseph m. Patricia Blaum William M. LaForge Below: Brothers Ira & William La- Forge in New Holland on leave during WWI. William is on the right. For many years Laura Yancey and/or her family would travel first from Ironton, Ohio and later from Newport, Kentucky to visit her Aunt and Uncle Bolinger and her LaForge cousins. These visits were the source of many of the pictures and post cards contained is this brief account of the Bolinger Family. The above picture was taken on Laura s August 1936 visit to New Holland. Laura is pictured between Bertha and William LaForge whose twin boys William & Wayne, age 4 in this picture, were born September 12, One of the delicious meals Laura had on this trip included Bertha s Angel Food Cake, the recipe for which Laura retained in her cookbook along with one for corn bread. 22 William, Sonja & Lance LaForge Wayne & Pat LaForge 50th Anniversary 10/11/09

24 Ira Young LaForge Born November 29, 1895, Ira Young La- Forge was the 7th of the LaForge children. On October 3, 1917 Ira and Beulah Beaver were married in New Holland. Their honeymoon trip included a stopover in Ironton, Ohio to visit Ira s great aunt, Elizabeth Biebinger Handley and her family. The picture to the left was taken upon their arrival by train, and the picture below was in the Handley s back yard near their barn. Ira and Beulah had one daughter, Bernadine LaForge. Corinne Ira had a fondness for music and often played the violin when church hymns were sung. As Corinne grew, so did her interest and skill in the piano. Ira and Corinne made a great team when special music was needed for church services. Corinne took voice lessons in high school and thereafter did more singing than piano playing. Corinne is pictured left: escaping from her high chair; with Ira; at age 18 & more recently with her husband Tom who was, oh yes, a great violin master. 24

25 Six months after Ira and Beulah s honeymoon stopover to see the Handleys in Ironton, Ohio, Beulah LaForge wrote the following letter to the Handleys, keeping them informed of Ira s service in WWI. 25

29 Dorcus Channing LaForge Dorcus Channing LaForge was the 8th and last child of Katie and David LaForge. Dorcus was born February 3, 1899 and farmed in New Holland. He married Bessie Gallagher from the neighborhood. Dorcus, like his brother Ira, had one child, Rosemary LaForge. Rosemary married Harold Apel. Docus followed in the family business of farming, first as a laborer on his father s farm and eventually as farmer of his own land. The adjacent post card was written by Dorcus, at age 10, to his young cousin, Paul Yancey. Paul was only two years old, but in September 1909 his mother Laura and grandmother, Elizabeth Biebinger Handley, took Paul on his first visit to meet the family in New Holland. Thereafter, Paul received a number of cards and well wishes in letters from his LaForge cousins. Paul returned many times while growing up and often recalled the warm hospitality of the La- Forges and awesome meals in Katie and David LaForge s home. 29

He was born October 19, 1868 in Portsmouth, Ohio and by the time of the 1870 census, the Bolinger family had relocated to Sheridan Township in Logan County, Illinois. Like his father, John made farming his lifelong career. In 1894 John married Wilzora Douglass in Mason City, Illinois where he and Wilzora made their lifelong home.

40 John Bolinger - Brother of Jacob John Bolinger was born in Germany April 5, He came to Ohio with his parents and three brothers, George, Jacob, and Peter in the 1830s and settled in Pike County, Ohio. He also farmed in Scioto County, Ohio for a number of years before moving to Sheridan Township. While still in Ohio, he married Ann Elizabeth Biebinger in Two years later his brother, Jacob Bolinger, married Ann Elizabeth s sister, Francis Biebinger. The 1870 Federal Census places John, Ann, and their five children in Scioto County, OH. Their children were: Jacob Allen, John Franklin, George Lincoln, Mary Emma, and Charles Johnson. John and Ann Elizabeth (Lizzie) are buried in Richmond Grove Cemetery. 40

42 Catherine Bolinger Wendell, Jacob s Sister Catherine or Kathrine Bolinger was possibly the first child born to Frederick and Catherine Bolinger in America. Born in Ohio May 2, 1839, Kathrine appears to have relocated to Illinois about the same time as her brother Jacob did, around Two years later Kathrine married William Lawrence Wendell also from Ohio on February 14, Their marriage took place in Logan County. William Lawrence Wendell had first married Lydia Ann January 31, 1857 in Pike County, Ohio. The 1870 Census of Mason City Township records Will and Lydia as having four children: John W., Marie, Samuel, and Eliza. The 1910 Census records that Kathrine had only been married once and that 6 of her 8 children were still living. Only son Guy M. and daughter Jesse Golden were still at home during the 1910 Census. The other 4 surviving children were daughter L. Capitola, and sons Cloid, Oscar P., and Vinton L. Kathrine died July 18, 1913 in New Holland and Will Wendell died January 17, 1918 in Logan County. Kathrine is buried in Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Logan Co. Frederick Biebinger Will Wendell Kathrine Bolinger Wendell J.

43 Christina Bolinger Biebinger Bushman Jacob s Sister Christina Bolinger, Jacob Bolinger s older sister was born December 27, 1824 in Germany. She did not come to the United States with her parents and brothers in the early 1830s. She came in 1846 and shortly thereafter married Conrad Biebinger in Ohio. The 1850 census recorded Conrad as age 42 and Christina as age 26. Conrad and Christina had four children, two of whom survived childhood, namely Caroline (Carrie) born in 1851 and Elizabeth born in In 1853 Jacob s older brother John married Ann Elizabeth Biebinger, Conrad s oldest daughter by his first wife. In 1855 Jacob married Conrad s daughter Franziska (Fransis, Francis, Frances) Biebinger. So Conrad Biebinger and his two oldest daughters, by his first wife, married three Bolinger siblings. Conrad Biebinger died in 1855 and Christina remarried Charles Henry Bushman. The next chapter of the story begins around 1870 when Jacob and John Bolinger and their Ohio-born sister Catherine (Kathrine) began moving west to the area of Sheridan Township, Illinois, accompanied by their Biebinger wives and two of their brothers Frederick and Adam Biebinger. But Christina Bolinger Biebinger Bushman remained in Ohio with her husband, two surviving children from her marriage to Conrad Biebinger, and two additional children from her marriage to Charles Bushman. Christina died in 1901, but her daughters Carrie and Elizabeth continued to keep contact with their Uncle Jacob Bolinger and their half-sister Francis, Jacob s wife, as did Elizabeth s three daughters, Laura, Emma, and Alice. Of the three Handley daughters, only Laura married. She and her husband Thomas J. Yancey had two sons, Paul and John Handley Yancey. Paul was born in Ironton and cared deeply for his grandparents and aunts Emma and Alice. In 1963/1964 the two aunts needed assistance and Paul asked his son, this writer, to spend two summers in Ironton assisting them. Many old pictures, & letters from the Handley home were saved. In 1983 a connection was 43 Christina Bolinger Biebinger Bushman made with Ira, Emily, and William LaForge. They spent several weeks identifying the people in the pictures and letters. Their efforts laid the foundation for this glimpse of family. Interestingly the story does not end here as research now indicates that Jacob Biebinger, son of Conrad Biebinger, married Mary Bolinger, daughter of Frederick Bolinger in Ohio, so there were 4 marriages between Conrad Biebinger and his children and the children of Frederick and Catherine Bolinger. Left: Elizabeth Biebinger Handley s home in Ironton, OH where the Bolinger/LaForge material was found in the 1960s.

44 What Kind of Legacy? So what kind of legacy did Jacob and Frances leave for us? Was it their German heritage; their pioneer spirit; stories of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1800s; or perhaps tales of the trials and tribulations they faced as farmers or with their health or other fretful things in the world around them? No, as the shadows lengthened for them, they each shared their faith in God with their family, and shining through their communication was their trust in eternal life. How fitting that on their memorial marker in Richmond Grove Cemetery is the inscription: OUR FATHER WHO ARE IN HEAVEN. 44

45 Special Appreciation This family history is a result of the faithful assistance of: Corinne Bernadine LaForge Douglass who in 1983 requested her father Ira LaForge to assist in identifying the family pictures and letters from the Handleys. Pattie Blaum LaForge who sent me the first of many family records from Logan County, long before internet searches were possible. Susie & Tom Cecil who have driven many miles taking pictures of New Holland, cemetery markers & other family artifacts while always being a source of encouragement regarding our family history. Mary White Fletcher who has willingly shared rare family photos and been the inspiration for this family history. Thank You, Kenneth B. Yancey 45
