Notes:

DREISBACH, Monroe A. – Monroe A. Dreisbach died at Duluth, Minnesota from a shock on February 25 at the home of his son, Carl Dreisbach. Deceased was 67 years old and he was a resident of Westfield for 14 years. He was a member of Jemison Lodge, I.O.O.F. of Westfield, and a member of the Rodgersville Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, of South Dansville, N.Y. Mr. Dreisbach was a graduate of Mount Union College of Alliance, Ohio, and received the degrees of A.B. and LL.D. In his young manhood he practiced law in Nevada and was District Attorney of Carson City, Nevada. He was affected by a sunstroke that undermined his health to such an extent that he was obliged to quit the practice of law and he devoted the remaining years of his life to agricultural pursuits. He was a man of broad education and was familiar with six different languages besides history and science. He was an active Odd Fellow and had many warm friends in that order as well as throughout the town. He is survived by one son with whom he was living at the time of his death. He also has twelve grandchildren.
(Free Press. Wellsboro Agitator 5 March 1919)

MONROE A. DRIESBACH, son of Peter and Hannah (Zerfars) Driesbach, is a native of New York State, born in the town of Sparta, Livingston County, April 18, 1845. His parents were of German descent, but the date of the arrival of his ancestors in America takes us back before the days of the American Revolution.
His grandfather, Henry Driesbach, emigrated from Pennsylvania in 1804, and settled in the wilds of New York, in what in now called Genesee Valley, purchasing a large tract of land, some of which still remains in the possession of his descendants. Both the father and grandfather of the subject of this sketch, fought in the defense of their country, one, in the Revolution, for American Independence, and the other, in the war of 1812, and was in the memorable battle of Lundy's Lane. Monroe, our present subject, was brought up on a farm, as the "best man," his mother being a widow for many years. After reaching his majority, he, to satisfy his ambition for learning entered Alliance College, afterward transferred to Mount Vernon College in Ohio, from which he graduated. He then entered the Albany Law School, and graduated with high honors. He was married September 23, 1874, to Helen A. McNair, at Danville, New York. Mr. Driesbach was in the employ of Messrs. A. W. Cootes & Co., Alliance, Ohio, manufacturers of farming implements, as book-keeper, until his departure for Nevada in the spring of 1877. He was elected District Attorney of Ormsby County, Nevada, in 1878. Mr. Driesbach is a resident of Carson City, and is a man much respected by his fellow-townsmen.
(Thompson and West 1881 History of Nevada, page 544 (this is also where the illustration is from))

The (modern day) Carson city DA's office election history for 1878 shows Monroe defeated Trenmor Coffin (also on page 544 of T&W) as a Citizen's Party candidate. Trenmor ran as a Republican. Monroe received 534 votes to Trenmor's 435. Trenmor later became a well known politician in NV. Monroe did not run for reelection in 1880. Republican Horace Bartine was elected over Democrat N. Soderberg. - Clyde Underwood

Monroe and his wife Helen Ann separated while they were in Nevada. Helen Ann returned to NY. Monroe stayed in NV. Their young son Clarence died in 1883 and Helen Ann died in 1884. Their children Carl and Margaret were raised by Helen Ann's brother Hugh McNair and his wife Ida. Note that the obit says Monroe is buried in South Sparta, but he does not appear to be indexed in fag's index for South Sparta - Clyde Underwood

Monroe married Helen Ann McNair on 23 Sep 1874. Helen was born on 1 Aug 1847 in Dansville, Livingston County, New York; died on 22 Oct 1884 in Dansville, Livingston County, New York; was buried in Greenmount Cemetery, North Dansville, Livingston County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Apparently Henry Pickard died between 1872 and 1875 and the three oldest children were then raised by Elizabeth's parents, giving them the name Hartman.
In the 1875 census of Ossian, Elizabeth Pickard and the three children, with the surnames Pickard were living with Abraham and Mary Hartman. I(Andrew) would assume a short time after the 1875 census Abraham, his wife, daughter and
three grandchildren removed to South Dansville. (At the time of this update, I had been unable to obtain the 1880 census of Steuben County to further prove this). April 1998, I have found this family in the 1880 census living in Burns,Allegany Co.,NY; all seems normal, except living next door to the Hartman's and Peasley's is the Elias Kiehle's family and their boarder, Henry Pickard!! So apparently, Elizabeth Hartman and Henry Pickard got divorced about 1875 as the 1880 census shows Allen Peasley, as Abraham Hartmans son-in-law.

Death of Mra. Peasley.
Mrs. Elisabeth Peasley died at her home east of the Lackawanna depot In this town late Monday night at the age of 66 years. She had been ill several months and during the latter part of November she was obliged to give up.
