She will be interred at Grace Cathedral's Columbarium, next to her husband, the Rev Russell C. Moore. Born May 1, 1922 in Tacoma, Washington to Mabel H. Gray and Richard O. Roberts, Shirley moved to California and settled in the East Bay in 1955 with her three children after her first marriage ended. She worked for many years at Cutter Labs and UC Berkeley's Cooperative Extension. She provided a loving, supportive home where the bread was homemade, stories were read aloud around the dinner table, summers included road trips to visit friends and relatives and Sunday mornings were set aside for church. She wed Russ in 1968, continued working, and enjoyed time spent with grandchildren and visiting Wales to trace family background. We will miss her humor and the love and concern she bestowed on her family and friends. In addition to her husband Russell, she was predeceased by her brother Donald Roberts, daughter Barbara Cantora and stepson Michael Moore.

| 5968 | REV. AMOS AUGUSTUS KIEHLE, D. D., former pastor of Calvary Presbyterian church, Milwaukee, was born in Dansville, Livingston County, New York, on the 22nd of March, 1847. His father, James Kiehle, was a tanner by trade and occupation, owning a tannery which he carried on for years. He was one of those highly respected citizens who form the conservative element in every prosperous community. A. A. Kiehle's mother was Elizabeth Litchard, a woman of sterling Christian character, who impressed herself indelibly upon her children to their lasting good. Both paternal and maternal grandfathers were residents of Pennsylvania, but removed to New York when their children were young, settling on farms in Livingston County, where they remained during the rest of their lives. Their ancestors came from "Old Holland." A. A. Kiehle's older brother was Rev. D. L. Kiehle LL. D., of Minneapolis, Minnesota, formerly, state superintendent of public instruction of Minnesota, and professor of pedagogy at the University of Minnesota. A. A. Kiehle received his early education in the district school, which was followed by a course in the Dansville, New York, Seminary, an institution of higher education, with something more than a local reputation for the thoroughness of its instruction. He then taught for two years in Canandaigua Academy, and in the meantime prepared himself for a collegiate course, which he took at Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, entering that institution in September, 1867, and graduating from there in 1871. While in college he was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He was also a faithful and successful student, with a record for thorough scholarship. As student and teacher, he paid special attention to the study of elocution, in which he won several awards and acquired a facility and power as a public speaker which proved of great practical advantage to him in his professional life. He believed that the study of language and elocution are not accorded the place in a liberal course of study which their importance demands. In the fall of 1871, he entered Union Theological Seminary in New York City, and graduated from there in the class of 1874. Soon after he received and accepted a call to the pastorate of the Franklin Avenue Presbyterian church of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and, on the 21st of October, 1874, he was ordained to the gospel ministry and installed pastor of that church. The duties of this position he discharged with much fidelity until February, 1878, when he accepted a call from the First Presbyterian church of Stillwater, Minnesota, where he labored with great ability and success until the summer of 1881, when he became pastor of Calvary Presbyterian church of Milwaukee. During his pastorate the church more than doubled its membership, a heavy debt was been paid, the church building was enlarged and the congregations greatly increased. May 13th, 1874, Mr. Kiehle was married to Miss Julia Reed of Livonia, New York. She died August 1st, 1878, leaving two daughters, Bessie M. and Grace J. July 28th, 1881, Mr. Kiehle married Frances Decker of South Livonia, New York, who died March 10th, 1885,leaving one child, a son, Ernest. On the 24th of June, 1890, Mr. Kiehle married Miss Bessie Harrison of Milwaukee. Mr. Kiehle was a Republican in politics; and, while he was in no sense a "political preacher," he took a deep interest in all public questions, whether political, social or industrial, and never neglected his duties as a citizen. He was eminently a preacher of the gospel, but was fully alive to the fact that the gospel has a very close relation to daily, practical life, and he did not hesitate to point out and emphasize that relation in a manner that left a lasting impression. As a preacher, Mr. Kiehle had a popular manner, was an impressive reader of the scriptures, had a voice that easily fills the largest audience rooms and was most pleasant to the ear. His style was clear, direct, and forcible and often most eloquent, while the plain truths of scripture seemed to acquire a new power as they fell from his lips. | Kiehle, Reverand Amos Augustus (I34958)

| 5973 | Rev. John LOTHROP, was minister at Egerton in Kent, England. He removed to London in 1624 and was pastor of a Congregational church there. The archbishop caused to arrest of him and 43 members of the church 29 Apr 1632, and most of them were imprisoned for 2 years for the simple offese of practising the teachings of the New Testament. His first wife died while he was in prison. John and some others were released on condition of leaving the country, and came to New England. He arrived with his family 18 Sep 1634 in Boston with fellow passengers, Rev.Zachary Symmes and celebrity Ann Hutchinson, and others. On the 27th of the same month he with others went to Scituate, there he married his second wife, Ann, who long outlived him, dying 25 Feb 1688. He was admitted freeman in the Plymouth Colony 07 Feb 1636/7. Two years later he, with the principal part of the church removed to found the church and town of Barnstable. His record of the two congregations was copied in 1769 by Rev.Ezra Stiles. Mr.Lathrop was a man of deep piety, great zeal and large ability. | Lothrop, Reverand John (I13018)

|
| 5978 | Reverend Ralph Wheelock, Puritan, educator, and founder was born in Dorrington, Shropshire, England on 14 May 1600. His family origins can be traced back to the tenth century in Wheelock Village, near Sandbach, in the County of Cheshire. Ralph was educated at Cambridge University, Clare Hall. He matriculated in 1623, obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1626, and a Master of Arts in 1631. At that time, Cambridge was the center of the dissenting religious movement that gave rise to Puritanism. His contemporaries at Cambridge University included John Milton and John Eliot, whose liberal views he seemed to share. The persecution of those with Puritan beliefs ran high during this period, which undoubtedly motivated Rev. Wheelock to participate in "The Great Migration" which brought many new immigrants to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. By one account, 20,000 came to New England during the peak years of the migration between 1630 and 1640. On 6 May 1630, in England, Rev. Wheelock was ordained priest by Francis White, Bishop of the Norfolk Diocese. Shortly thereafter, on 17 May 1630, he married Rebecca Clarke. At least three children were born to the family in England (Mary Wheelock, baptised in Banham, County of Norfolk, 2 Sep 1631; Gershom Wheelock, baptised in the village of Eccles, County of Norfolk, 3 Jan 1632/33; and Rebecca Wheelock, baptised in the village of Eccles, County of Norfolk, 24 Aug 1634). There is strong evidence that Rev. Wheelock served clerical duties at the parish in Eccles, where Gershom and Rebecca were baptised. This is evidenced by his signature as "local curate" on the register pages that record his childrens baptism. Rev. Wheelock, his wife Rebecca, and at least three children sailed for the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1637, just 7 years after Boston was first settled, and during the peak of the "Great Migration". Some Wheelock historians have suggested that Rebecca gave birth to a daughter aboard ship, but no definitive proof is available. Upon arrival, Rebecca and Ralph Wheelock settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. There Rev. Wheelock participated in a plan to create a new settlement further up the Charles River, to be called Contentment (later renamed Dedham). In 1638 Rev. Wheelock became one of the earliest settlers and a founder of Dedham. He lived there with his wife for more than a decade, and played a leading role in the affairs of the town. The records at Dedham show that children Benjamin, Samuel, Record, and Experience were born into the family of Ralph and Rebecca while at Dedham. In July 1637, Rev. Ralph Wheelock signed the 'Dedham Covenant' which was in effect the founding constitution of the settlers of Dedham. In 1639 he and seven others were chosen for "ye ordering of towne affayers according unto Courte Order in that behalf." The powers that these eight men had were probably similar to the town selectmen of modern times. He was also appointed to assist the surveyor ("measurer") in laying out the boundaries of the town. On 13 Mar 1638/9, Rev. Wheelock was declared a freeman [5]. In those days, one had to be a "freeman" in order to exercise the full right of suffrage, or to hold public office. To become a freeman, it was necessary to be a member in good standing of a local church, and to appear before the General Court to take an oath whose essential elements swore to good citizenship and good religious character. In 1642, Ralph Wheelock was appointed the General Court clerk of writs. The General Court was the central court of the Bay Colony, with powers granted by the British Crown to decide legal matters, to dispense lands, and to establish laws. At this point in time (1643), the population of the Bay Colony was about 18,000. In 1645 he was appointed one of the commissioners authorized to "solemnize" marriages, which at the time was a civil rather than religious duty. Although Rev. Wheelock was an ordained minister, his greater inclinations were toward teaching, which he did with great fervor and in various capacities throughout his life. Though the records are sketchy, it is likely that Rev. Wheelock was the first public school teacher in America. On 1 Feb 1644 a Dedham town meeting voted for the first free school in Massachusetts, to be supported by town taxes. Rev. Ralph Wheelock was the first teacher at this school. Three years later, in 1647, the General Court decreed that every town with 50 families or more must build a school supported by public taxes. By the late 1640's Dedham was becoming quite populous, and it was decided to establish a new township further up the Charles River, out of a tract of land that was then part of Dedham. Rev. Wheelock was appointed leader of this effort, and in 1649 he and six others were given the duties of erecting and governing a new village, to be called New Dedham, later renamed Medfield. In May, 1651, the town of Medfield was granted the full powers of an independent town by the General Court of Massachusetts. In this year Rev. Ralph Wheelock and his family removed to Medfield, where he lived the remaining 32 years of his life. The records at Medfield show that Eleazar Wheelock was born to Ralph and Rebecca at Medfield. Eleazar's grandson would become the founder of Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire. Though others participated in the establishment of the Town of Medfield, the Rev. Ralph Wheelock is considered to be it's primary founder. As leader of the previously mentioned committee of seven, it is almost certain that Rev. Wheelock wrote the document called "The Agreement" which, for a time, every new settler of Medfield had to sign. "The Agreement" stated that the signatories were to abide by the town ordinances and laws, maintain orderly conduct, and resolve differences between themselves peaceably. Rev. Ralph Wheelock was granted the first house lot in Medfield (12 acres), and served on the first Board of Selectmen (1651). He subsequently served on the Board of Selectmen in 1652-1654, and again in 1659. In 1653 he took up a collection for Harvard College, the first college in America. Fund raising for Harvard was probably a regular event, being a primary source of revenue for the fledgling institution. In 1655, the town voted 15 pounds to be used to establish a "schoule for the educataion of the children, to be raised by a rate according as men have taken up lands, and the rest of the maintenance to be raised upon the children that goe to schoule" [8]. Rev. Ralph Wheelock was the first schoolmaster. In his book "Mr. Ralph Wheelock, Puritan", the Rev. Lewis Hicks speculates that Rev. Wheelock remained schoolmaster for a period of 8 years. Every year, Medfield chose a representative to the General Court in Massachusetts. Rev. Wheelock held this position in the years 1653, 1663, 1664, 1666, and 1667. Rebecca Clarke Wheelock died on 1 Jan 1680/1 in Medfield. Two years later, Rev. Wheelock died, in the 84th year of his life. Rev. Wheelock played an active and important role in the settling of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was instrumental in establishing two new towns, and held virtually every office of importance in both of them. Furthermore, he was at the forefront of establishing the educational foundations of the country. His descendents would also prove to play an important a role in settling New England and the rest of America. His son, Benjamin, was a founder of the Town of Mendon. Among his great-grandchildren were founders of several New England towns, as well as Eleazar Wheelock, the founder of Dartmouth. Succeeding generations would push farther west, settling the frontiers in New York, Michigan, Illinois, Nova Scotia, and Texas, establishing impressive credentials as teachers, writers, soldiers, founders of towns, and creators of business.

| 5979 | Revolutionary War Figure. He led a rebellion against Massachusetts called Shay's Rebellion, which served the new nation of the United States as an example of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation, and prompted the nation's leaders to adopt a Constitutional form of government. Born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, he was the son of an Irishman who came to America as an indentured servant. Little is known about his life prior to the outbreak of the American Revolution. With no formal education, Daniel began work as a farm laborer, an occupation that would provide a stable and secure life, even if it was on the lower end of the economic scale. He married Abigail Gilbert on July 18, 1772 in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Daniel first came into prominence when the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775. He joined the Massachusetts Militia and due to his leadership, was commissioned an Ensign, serving at the Battle of Bunker Hill, in Boston, where he was recognized for his gallantry. In 1777, he was promoted to Captain in the 5th Massachusetts Regiment of the Continental Army, and participated in the battles of Ticonderoga, Saratoga and Stony Point, New York. His service record was considered notable, and at the end of his service in 1780, the Marquis de Lafayette presented him with a ceremonial sword for his distinguished service. Following his resignation, he took up farming at Pelham (now Prescott), Massachusetts, and served in several local government positions. After the war, economic conditions in the United States, and especially in western Massachusetts began to spiral into a recession and many farmers, hard pressed economically, expressed their disenchantment with the lack of support from the Massachusetts government. While the farmers' complaints were many, most thought that the state governor ignored their plight, the state senators were aristocratic rich men, and taxes were too high. Many believed the state courts were merely instruments of governmental oppression, especially in their enforcement of debt collection. Imprisonment for failure to pay debts was common. Eventually, the farmers rose in revolt, and by 1786, Shays become one of several leaders in the revolt against high taxation. The uprising soon become known as Shays' Rebellion, after an encounter between a force of 800 farmers under Shays and a militia unit of 1,000 at Springfield, Massachusetts, on September 26, 1786. Four rebels were killed when the militia opened fire on the protesting farmers, who were trying to prevent the state Supreme Court from convening and bringing indictments against farmers who were in arrears from their debts. By the winter of 1787, there was open fighting between Massachusetts' forces and rebelling farmers. On January 25, 1787, Shays' force of 1100 farmers were repulsed in their attempt to capture the Army arsenal at Springfield, which was defended by General Shepard with 1000 men. General Shepard was soon reinforced with 4,000 militiamen led by General Benjamin Lincoln, who pursued the retreating farmer force to Petersham, Massachusetts, where Shays' Army was defeated again, on February 2, 1787, with over 150 captured and the rest disbursed. Most of the leaders were condemned to death for treason, with the others imprisoned, but within a year, all of the rebels were released by Governor John Hancock who realized that economic conditions were the reason for the farmers revolt and not treason. Shays escaped capture by slipping into Vermont, then an independent republic not subject to the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and in February 1788, Shays petitioned Governor Hancock for amnesty, which was granted on June 13. Shays then moved to Sparta, New York, where he reunited with his family. He was later granted a monthly federal government pension of $20 for his service in the Revolutionary War. For the rest of his life, Shays would state that his service in the Revolution and his leadership of the Rebellion were for the exact same principles. During his life, he would never allow a portrait of himself to be made, so it is unknown what he actually looked like. Images of him in newspapers and other periodicals were drawn without seeing him, and are not considered accurate. He died in Sparta, New York. | Shays, Captain Daniel (I45419)

| 5983 | Rice Honeywell, was born March 1760 at Fredericksburg (now Carmel), Westchester County, New York, according to his deposition for pension. He was a younger son of David (ca 1730-1772?) and Rebecca (Rice?) Honeywell of the same place. He was descended from Roger Hunnewell 's third son Israel Honeywell. REVOLUTIONARY WAR EXPLOITS In 1773, the probable date of his father's death, Rice went to live with his oldest brother Isaiah at Lanesborough, Massachusetts. From there, when two months short of his sixteenth birthday, he enlisted in January 1776, along with Isaiah, in Colonel Seth Warner's Regiment. They immediately marched to Montreal and on to Quebec to join General Benedict Arnold's troops. His five months of service were up just after the Americans fell back on Montreal, and he was returned to Lanesborough. Another enlistment of six months followed in General Poor's Brigade. He was at Long Island, New York when it was overrun by the British, being in a "guard" that was led to safety through the British lines under cover of fog by General Israel Putnam. In 1777 he was called out on a tour of militia duty on the approach of General Burgoyne from the north, was wounded in the left arm in a skirmish at Wood Creek near Fort Ann, but he continued to fight with his arm in a sling. Although not fully recovered, he turned out soon thereafter to fight under Colonel Warner at Bennington, New York, but suffered from his neglected wound. Beginning in May 1778 he had a number of periods of service in which he went as a substitute for others. One such period was for nine months with General Wayne's Brigade at Valley Forge. Both Isaiah and Sergeant Rice Honeywell were numbered among the Green Mountain Boys. In March 1778 he moved from Lanesborough to "Old Hoosac on the Hoosac River" in New York State, "where he resided until March 1785 when he removed to Augusta in the County of Grenvelle, Upper Canada." One account has it that after the war Rice came back into Canada to see it and fell in love with Ruth Allen, the daughter of a Tory, Weston Allen, U.E., who had brought his family to the Prescott area. The date of the marriage is not known, nor the place, although it is probably Prescott, Ontario. In any case, Rice took his bride Ruth back to his home in New York (probably Hoosac). When they returned to Canada in 1785 because Ruth wished to be near her own family, it was with two children, a daughter and son, Ira. Source: Pension application. LIFE IN CANADA There is evidence that he took an interest in the community and people around. He was on the list of subscribers in 1790 for the Blue Church, Prescott, which was to be erected in 1791. His name has appeared as a witness at such functions as weddings. A number of letters are extant, to John Small at the Executive Council Office at York, which he wrote on behalf of other settlers. The census of 1806 for Augusta showed Rice in a household of three, including one son Richard; by that time Ira was the head of his own family. It is likely that Ruth died about 1800, because his second son Richard was born in 1802 to Rice and Catherine (Fishback) Honeywell. In the 1823 census Rice's family consisted of himself, his wife, two sons, one daughter, four male servants and one female servant. His will of 1839, probated 19 August 1840, probably named only his surviving children: Ira, Richard, John, Mariah Obrien and Israel Putnam Honeywell (likely named after the hero of his youthly escape from Long Island). Israel, a minor at the time, was no doubt the son of his third wife and widow, Martha Honeywell. Richard went back to New York State, to St. Lawrence County, and left many descendants there. John and Mariah are as yet untraced. It is very possible that the Israel Putnam (or Putman) Honeywell of South Crosby, in 1854 and the one being married in Camden in 1858, later settling at a blacksmith shop in the 5th Concession of Thurlow Township, Hastings County, Ontario are one and the same. The corner is still known as Honeywell's Corners. Source: Miss Doris Honeywell notes. LAND GRANTS AND MILLS In 1785, 1791, and 1793, Rice and Ruth received land grants in Maitland and Augusta Township. In 1795 they were allowed Town lot No. 19 at Johnstown on the north side of First Street and a park lot on condition that they build a frame house, which they did. Under an Order in Council of the 3 July 1797 he was granted a special lot, No. 14, Concession 1 in Haldimand Township, North Cumberland County, as the site of a sawmill. In April of that year his brother Isaiah had moved his family from the U. S. to Concession 3, Haldimand. Leaving his own family of four (his wife, one boy and two girls) settled in Augusta, Rice built the mill within the required year.
