Notes:

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.

SUFFERED STROKE AT DINNER TABLE
Mrs. Sophronia Hamsher died at the home of her cousin, Mrs. J. F. Deitzel, last week Thursday night, at 9 o'clock, aged 63 years. Deceased was born in Scottsburg and was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William and Elizabeth Hamsher, and her entire life, with the exception of a few years in the west, has been spent in this section where for many years she taught school, and has many relatives and acquaintances in this place and Dansville. Last October she engaged as housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. George Stannarius and remained with them until about three weeks ago when she left on account of illness, having been taken with grippe a week previous. She visited Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Curtis, relatives, and last Thursday morning went to Mrs. J. F. Deitzel's. At the dinner table she was stricken with paralysis and grew gradually worse until a severe shock in the evening caused her death. She was a Christian woman and esteemed by all who knew her, and the suddenness of her death deeply moved her relatives and friends, as she was in her usual health prior to being taken sick with the grippe. A short prayer service was held at the home of Mrs. Deitzel on Monday morning at eight o'clock and the remains were removed to the English Lutheran church at Dansville, where services were held. Interment was at Sparta Center, beside her father and mother. Two brothers survive: Fred, of Detroit, Mich.; and Elmer, of Rochester.

Dwight Monroe was a bright and attractive little boy of six years and was the only son in whom the hearts of the parents were wrapped up. He had never been rugged constitutionally, and the disease which had necessitated the operation had evidently been causing trouble for some time. The funeral was conducted by Dr. J. E. Manning, was largely attended by the numerous relatives and interment was at the beautiful Greenmount Cemetery on Monday afternoon.

Grad. Dansville High School; Geneseo Normal. Taught rural School; Dansville 4th grade; Kindergarten in Arkport, retiring after 20 years in 1967.

About 1974 added to her hobbies oil painting which she does with a friend on her closed in porch. Has taken some first prizes in the State Grange Art contests. Has too large a collection of African Violets she's always starting from leaves. And then giving them away. Same as her husband she grew up in the country until she was 14. It was fun driving the horses when in the field loading oats to haul into the barn for threshing later on. When it was haying time she was trusted with driving the horse on the hayfork. And in the cow barn she milked a cow. It wasn't so much fun, though, cutting the green corn and dragging it to the fence to lift over for the cows to eat. Nor did the spring job of knocking off potato bugs into kerosene in a pail have any enticements! She started collecting stamp when quite young 'because they were so pretty' and learned later it was a popular hobby. She felt rather disappointed that she wasn't the first to discover them! She spent many hours writing to pen pals starting in early high school. Many were in Australia where she always wanted to go. She became a real nut about traveling . Her first tri w1as at 18 when she went with her parents and grandparents (Kiehle~ to New Jersey to her Uncle John's. She knew then that traveling was for her!!! About 1935 she and Marietta Moose went on a camping trip to Atlantic City (N.J.) and Washington, (D.C.). One stormy night they slept in a grandstand in a little town (for company!!), another time under the stars in an orchard, again their tent was pitched by an oil well. One night a garageman sent them to camp on his lawn even tho his wife was entertaining her card club! (she agreed to it.) In Washington they actually found a campground and camped there for a week. Has lived on E. Main St. in Hornell for nearly 40 years.

Notes:

John Alva Keel, 79, the one individual most tied to the story of Mothman in the mind of the general public, professionally a writer and journalist, died in 2009. Keel, who lived most of his life in New York City, passed away on Friday, July 3, 2009, at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, after some months between a nursing home and his Upper West Side apartment.
John Keel began writing at a young age. In his 1957 book, Jadoo, Keel told of tracking a Yeti, an Abominable Snowman, in the jungles of Asia. His Strange Creatures from Time and Space (1970) contained his early Fortean cryptozoology thoughts, and then in 1975, Keel's The Mothman Prophecies, appeared. The well-known account of his 1966-1967 investigation of sightings of the Mothman, a 'winged weirdie' reported in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia became a popular title. The making of his book into the Mark Pellington-directed 2002 film, starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Alan Bates, and Debra Messing, raised Keel's name to Hollywood celebrity status.
