Albert Augustus Vesey Family
as provided by Dawn (Vesey) Puliafico, Ashland, Massachusetts.
Albert Augustus Vesey was born in Whiteford Township, Monroe County, Michigan on November 21, 1852, the second of ten children born to Edwin and Angeline (Merriman) Vesey. His father owned 80 acres of land. When he was a young boy, Albert and a friend were in a field with a bull. Albert tried to outrun the bull and jump the fence, but he didn’t make it. He was gored in the hip. He could still walk, but his leg was very stiff and lame. His son, Leslie, referred to this as the “Battle of Bull Run”. He was known as “Bert” to his siblings.
Albert wanted to be a drummer boy in the Civil War, but he was too young.
The 1860 US Federal Census lists Albert, age 7, living in Whiteford Township, Michigan. The 1870 US Federal Census lists Albert, age 18, at home in Whiteford Township, Michigan.
In the 1880 US Federal Census dated June 1, 1880, he is 26 years old and living with his parents in Whiteford Township, Monroe County, Michigan. He was working as a farm laborer.
Albert (age 27) married (1) Sarah Alvinne Kile (age 19) on December 23, 1880 in Monroe County, Michigan. Sarah was the daughter of Ira and Mary Kile. She was born in Licking County, OH. She died May 5, 1882 at age 20 years and 5 months and is buried in the Van Auken Cemetery, Whiteford Township, Monroe County, Michigan. Albert’s occupation was farming. Foster Ellis and Sarah Ann Ellis served as witnesses, and M.J. Scott served as the officiating minister.
He married (2) Harriet (Hattie) Alberta Hill, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Hamilton) Hill, on March 12, 1884 in Crown Point, Lake County, Indiana.
From Lola (Vesey) Merrill’s book “A History of Holland, Ohio, 1829-1953”
“In the year 1885, Mr. and Mrs. Albert A. Vesey moved from Ottawa Lake, Michigan to the Lewis Holloway farm on Pilliod Road where their first son Claude was born July, 1886. In three years the family moved to Holland into the house where the Souslin family now reside. They opened a grocery in the Palmer house and Mrs. Vesey managed alone, while Mr. Vesey worked as a section hand on the railroad. Their first daughter, Goldie, was born in this home October, 1889. In early 1892, the Vesey’s moved to the brick home on the south side, now across from the Holland Coal Yard. Mrs. Vesey opened a Millinery Shop and also sold home-baked bread in addition to the regular grocery items. Their second son, Leslie (now Rev. Leslie D. Vesey of Hayes Methodist, Fremont, Ohio), was born April, 1892.
The purchase of the vacant corner lot which was part of the Shaner Estate, then owned by Barbara Holloway, and with the completion of this new place of business, the moved in the early spring of 1898, a couple of months before the arrival of twin girls, Lela and Lola. Lela died September 22, 1910.
In the 1900 US Federal Census, Albert (age 47) is listed as a general merchant in Springfield Township, Ohio with his wife Harriet (age 35) and children Claude R. (age 14); Goldie F. (age 11), Leslie D. (age 8); Lola and Lela (age 2). Claude, Goldie and Leslie are students. Martha Neitcka (age 14) is also listed in the Albert Vesey household. She worked as a servant. The 1910 US Federal Census includes the same information, with the exception that Martha Neitcka is no longer listed in the household. Mary Taylor (age 79, Hattie’s mother) is included in the Albert Vesey household in 1910.
In the 1920 US Federal Census, Albert, Hattie, Leslie and Lola are listed in Springfield Township, Ohio. By the 1930 US Federal Census, Albert (age 77) and Hattie (age 65) are listed in Holland, Ohio.
Wesley Vesey, their grandson, recalls Hattie still working in their grocery store down the street when she was in her 70s. She often walked to work, about 4 blocks. She was noted, too, for mowing their lawn with a push mower. One time, at the store, she was cutting a great round of cheese with a butcher knife, the knife slipped and she cut herself quite badly.
Albert had chickens in a coop behind the house. To get the chickens laying eggs early, he used to turn on the lights in the hen house and get them scratching. At the table, he used to sip his tea from a saucer, which the grandchildren thought was strange. Why not use the cup! He nearly always washed the dishes, while others stayed at the table and talked. He whistled, too, while he worked. When he was on his deathbed, and didn’t have much more time to live, he either cracked some joke or responded to someone humorously, which everyone thought was typical of him and highly unusual for that serious time.
Death records indicate that Albert Augustus died July 29, 1939. Harriet died January 26, 1944. Both Albert and Hattie are buried in the Springfield Township Cemetery.
Claude Reyburne was born July 1, 1885 in Holland, Ohio. He married C. Fern. He died October 23, 1952 in Holland, Ohio. Fern died June 10, 1958. Both are buried at Springfield Township Cemetery.
Goldie Fay was born in October 1889 in Holland, Ohio. She married Orval Egbert Stair, son of Elmer and Mary Stair. Goldie died in 1957 in Holland, Ohio.
Leslie Dale was born April 5, 1892 in Holland, Ohio. He married Mertie Irwin, daughter of Elmer and Adelaide (Roberts) Irwin. He died March 19, 1978. He and Mertie are buried in Springfield Township Cemetery.
Lola L. and Lela Marie, twins, were born June 28, 1898 in Holland, Ohio. Lela died from juvenile diabetes on September 22, 1910 and is buried in the Springfield Township Cemetery. Lola married Frank Merrell, son of Morris and Clara Merrell. She researched and wrote “A History of Holland, Ohio, 1829-1953”.
Claude Reyburne Vesey Family
Claude Reyburne was born July 1, 1885 in Holland, Ohio. He married C. Fern about 1908.
In the 1910 US Federal Census, Claude is enumerated in Elyria, Ward 1, Lorain County, OH and is working as a bookkeeper in a factory there. He returned to Holland, OH to take partnership in his father’s general store in 1911 and is listed as such in the 1920 US Federal Census. In the 1930 US Federal Census, he is listed as storekeeper – dry goods/grocery. Fern and son Dale also both worked as clerks in the store per the 1930 US Federal Census.
Dale Demott was born January 18, 1910 in Elyria, OH. Robert was born about 1912. Claude Jr. was born about 1914. Katherine was born about 1917. Rex was born June 21, 1920.
Claude died October 23, 1952 in Holland, Ohio. Fern died June 10, 1958. They are both buried at Springfield Township Cemetery.
From Lola (Vesey) Merrill’s book “A History of Holland, Ohio, 1829-1953”
“With an established general merchandise business [Vesey General Merchandise] and as Postmaster serving the town and township, a partnership was accepted when Claude R. and family moved back from Elyria in 1911.
Claude, who was bookkeeper, butcher, buyer, and clerk, was constantly alert to the business needs. He collapsed in April, 1949, recovered, and collapsed again on September 29, 1952. He died October 23, 1952, at 67 years. About a month before, Claude had a premonition that “he would be out of the store by November”.
The widow C. Fern Vesey, has disposed all stock and fixtures up for sale. The building is for rent or sale.”

Recollections of the August G. Baumann, Sr. Family
by Jim Baumann, Toledo, Ohio, January 18, 2009
August G. Baumann Sr., a quarry owner in Germany, came to the United States around 1909. He bought a house in Link’s Hill (south Toledo). Around 1910 he purchased a 15-20 farm on Hill Avenue, just east of where Stone Oak County Club is now. At that time local property owners were German and Polish families. Jim is not sure if his grandfather owned the woods on the west side of the farm, where August Sr. would pick morel mushrooms in a secret spot he never shared with anyone.
The farm’s soil was dark and rich dirt in the front and sandy in the back. Aside from having farm animals (penned where a pond is now), August grew fruits and vegetables. August had strawberry patch and sold them commercially. One of Jim’s earliest memories of the farm was picking berries. On one occasion his mother and grandmother were wondering why all their boxes of berries were empty, until they found Jim eating out of one of the full containers.
One time Jim’s grandmother, Barbara, screamed because a rattlesnake was wrapped around a strawberry plant. Someone chopped the snake’s head off with shovel (I think Jim’s father) and Jim’s uncle took rattle where he kept a collection around the house.
Jim also recalls taking falls (apples fallen off trees) to a cider mill he thinks was east of Crissey Road to have fresh pressed cider..
Jim’s grandmother, Barbara, was his grandfather’s second wife. The first wife died shortly after Jim’s father, August Jr., was born in Germany. August Sr.’s second wife came from a wealthy family. This wife, along with August Jr. and his sisters, came to the Untied States on the USS Grant in 1910. According to one of Jim’s aunts, they landed at Ellis Island. While there, people were given fruit pies to eat that were so horrible, people just threw them on the floor and the conditions were filthy.
At Ellis Island, immigrants had to show they had the means to get where they wanted to go. Mrs. August Baumann Sr. took gold pieces out of the hem of her dress and showed the officials she did have wealth to get to Toledo. Jim thinks that his grandmother had enough gold to help purchase the farm on Hill Avenue.
While on the farm they made wine and kraut. His grandfather also did truck produce. August Sr. was an avid hunter and knew all the local farmers, as he hunted on their properties. Jim remembers a Bueche Garden Center on Dorr Street, just east of Little Flower Catholic Church is now, because he thinks they might have been one of his grandfather’s neighbors around Hill Avenue.
Jim’s grandfather died around 1939-40 and the farm was sold after that. Both Catholics, August G. and Barbara were buried in the Immaculate Conception cemetery by Bancroft and Rabb Road.
Jim’s father, August Jr., married Naomi Farber. Naomi’s family came from the Prague area. August Jr. converted to Lutheran and both he and Naomi are buried in Toledo Memorial Cemetery. Jim was born in 1935 and has two sisters, Ruth and Judy.
The house and farm buildings on Hill Avenue no longer stand. Currently there is a whit brick/stucco house one the property with a large pond in the back. Asking price is around $1.5 million.

Recollections of the Paul and Bernice Holloway Family
Pat (Holloway) Schiele, living in Georgia
My grandparents, Bernice and Paul Holloway 
lived in the Holloway home for more than 50 years. I was sadly there when the home was sold out of the family after my grandfather's death and my grandmother's illness. I don't have the trinkets I had as a girl growing up when exploring the farm, all of the arrowheads,etc. The house itself was a treasure trove. I remember the things my grandfather would find in the 2nd attic. He would bring down little dolls that were no more than 1/2 to 1 inch high, some white and some black made of china I think, very simplistic. He brought down a very large "chuck" of gold, he said it was found during the California gold rush. I do still have a pewter ink well that is in the shape of a crab he found up there. My two uncles and father probably have most of the things he found in the "treasure trove" attic. I remember some stories he'd tell also. Since my family was politically involved and strongly opinionated, he told of one relative corresponding with Abraham Lincoln. 
Then when he did not agree with a decision Mr. Lincoln made, burning the correspondence between the two. I wasn't very old when he told that story and even I knew the implications to history those actions made! My great-grandfather, Chester (I believe his name was, sorry for my uncertainty here, although I do have his picture) lived across the lane in a small shack. It was torn down after he went to the retirement home to live (I'm not sure at what age that was). He lived to be over 100 years old. I have a picture of him with my brother on his 100th birthday. I also have another picture of him with my grandfather, my father and myself, four generations of Holloways, taken in the front room in the Holloway home. My grandparents also had an old schoolbook that had a picture of the Holloway house. I wish I knew more about it. The picture on your website brought back memories for me. I know that when the expressway came through, my grandfather was not too happy. He was not given a choice to sell his land for the road that went right through the middle of his farm. After the road went in, he had to go miles and miles out of his way, to get to the other side to farm to what was just on the other side of the road. In the later years, he went more into livestock and less into farming. My grandmother, Bernice was a schoolteacher when she married and had her three boys. I always thought she was one of the most dignified and classiest "farm wives". She was definitely not a stereotypical "farm wife". She did the canning and baking and all the things that farm wives do, she just had a certain flare that I always admired. Her apple pie knew no equal! My grandfather was very much a stereotypical farmer. He always wore a blue jean shirt and overalls with his straw hat, except when they went to church. My grandfather's sister Jeanette, (married to Oscar, I cannot remember they're last name), did an extensive history of the Holloway name and genealogy. I do not know what happened to that either. I know she spent years and years working on it.
