The orginial surname KARRICK is from the Rare Ancient Royal Family of Duncan de Carrick ,the 1st Earl of Carrick and Regent for King of Scotland of
Ayrshire,Scotland. He was a Descendant of a long Line of Ancient Irish and Scottish Kings,and the Norman Conqueror , William I, King of England .
Earl Duncan married Avelina, daughter of Allen FitzWalter and had sons; Neil 2nd Earl of Carrick,whose daughter Margory married Robert
Bruce.The other son Nicholaus (or Colin),Lord of Carrick,who was in Fife ca 1280 had changed his name to Nigel Karriak and married Marotta ,daughter of
Robert Rossyn. Nigel had a son Robert Nigel de Karrik,who was mentioned a Maistenton Charter at Newbottel ,Scotland.
The search continues for the KARRICK Surname Descendants under the spelling variants of Carrick,Karrack,Kerrick,Kerrich ,etc. There are
indications that the Karricks or Carricks where in Gladstone, England when the Family Coat of Arms was developed in the 1500's. Also there was a group of Karricks
lived and died in the Pale and Dublin ,Ireland in the 1600's The first migrant to North America so far found is Edward Kerrick (Karrick) to Virgina in 1671 ,who is
thought to be the Progenitor of the Carrick- Karrick - Kerrick Families of Maryland and Virginia and perhaps Pennsylvania.

I wrote you by our express requesting you not to take any of my Cattle since then the distresses of the troops at this Place has obliged our officers to take every Beef fit for use that Mr Couden & myself had in this County and left us intirely destitute. If therefore you shou'd take any of mine in Charles it will really be distressing & deprive me of meat for my family the ensueing winter. I therefore request you if you have taken any of my Cattle and have not sent them off, that you will return them and I am certain on this information you will think I have contributed at least my Proportion & if not already taken any of them you will not do it. It will be necessary for you to forward without delay the number of Cattle directed by the Go & Co as they will shortly be wanted. You will receive £60 by Mr Kerrick to defray the expences of your

I have yours of the 5th Instant, as Mr Kerrick is a very good & safe driver, I think he is entitled to a greater allowance than common drivers, & perhaps without him the service might be impeded, you had I think best continue to employ him, the highest Price we have given is 20/ p Day, which I think you might pay Mr Kerrick, but this rests altogether with yourself. You are not to forward any more cattle to this place, what you now collect (as you will observe by the Go. & Councils Letter, are to be forwarded without delay to George Town on Potowmack — they sent you the order with £500 by Lansdale, to pay for the Cattle you are to collect & when you want more money, you will apply for it.

flour or send it without delay to George Town to be delivered to Thomas Richardson or Mr Bealle
The Go. & Council not setting I cannot inform what will be the result of your application respecting the Horse.

The Deed Record of Washington County, Maryland, for Benjamin H.Kerrick. In the early years marriages were performed by Ministers and Decans or Elders in the church who may have been passing through and who neglected to file a certificate of marriage with the County Clerk. There was a feeling among the Clergy that marriage was a matter between the individuals and his or her Church and not any concern of the County. Certainly many marriages were performed for wich no licenses and no records in the County Clerk's office were kept.
The settlers who came to Kentucky from Maryland, Pennsylvania or other Northern or Eastern states came by flat boats or large rafts on the Ohio River. They travelled overland to the spot where Pittsburgh now stands, then loaded everything an the boats or rafts and drifted with the current down the river. They usually landed at Limestone (Maysville) where they again travelled overland to what ever place they expected to settle. Others landed at the ' falls of the Ohio", (now Louisville).
Benjamin H.Kerrick's name appears on the Second Census of Kentucky taken in 1800 as Benjamin Kerrick"-Shelby-8-29-1800. On this Census South District of Shelby County.Kentucky. There is on the same census "'Walter Kerrick-Fayette-11-1800". In the 1810 Census South District of Fayette County, Kentucky, there is listed a "Hugh Kerrick" with four in his family, and an "Edward Kerrick" with six in his family and owning thirty five black slaves. Apparently these Kerrick's were from Maryland and Kin to Benjamin H.Kerrick. The family names are the same as those from Maryland.
In the record history book of Shelby County by George L. Willis.Sr. it is stated that in 1785 a large colony of Catholics from Maryland settled on Pottingers Creek in Nelson County. By 1787 there were about fifty Catholic families in Kentucky. By 1793 the number was estimated to he about three hundred. It is believed that the first Catholic Dioces west of the Alleghanies was in Kentucky. However, that Church with all it's growth and power for good was slow in taking root in Shelby County where the only Church it had was only a mission until the year 1860.
There was no Kerrick listed on the first tax list of 1792-95, no marriages in Shelby County of Kerricks from 1792-1800. There were no Kerricks wills in the first Will Book of Shelby County.
In 1800 Shelby County was a County of law abiding, pious, educated people. "big State Road" ran from Maysville, via Lexington.Frankfort and an down a little North of where it does now to Shelbyville, and on to the falls of the Ohio. The roads were bound to have been busy for hotels or taverns, sometimes called "inns"-two log room affairs-had
sprung up. There must have been many guests in the way of wagons, horses and men or else these taverns could not have survived at the prices required by law, twenty cents for a meal; eight cents for a nights lodging; five cents for a drink and thirty five and one half cents for a gallon of whiskey. The stories of these brave hearts, the loves, joys and griefs, with holidays and Thanksgivings and Christmases, religious revivals.superstitions. Is left to the imagination of the reader. They are his fore bearer history.
Men hunted game, cleared the land, raised the crops, pouned the grain, fought the Indians and did outdoor work in general. The woman milked the cows, spun the yarn, wove the yarn, knit the socks, made garments, cooked the meals, attended to all the house work. Most of the Log cabins had one window and one door each, often with solid earth floors. The furniture was improvised puncheon board beds, tables, etc. Two events of those early years in Shelby County brought misery and sadness to it's people, the great earth quake of 1811 and the cholera epidemic in 1833.
On many farms of Shelby County of so long ago are spots where a clump of trees and a tangle of vines, old ivy and broken stone, tell of a farmers family burying ground. In later years there were little burial grounds around the primitive church buildings.
The area of Shelby County where Benjamin H. Kerrick lived was included in the new county formed during the 1820's named Spencer. In checking the Shelby County Deed Records the following Deeds bearing Benjamin H. Kerricks name appear,

According to the 1810 Federal Census she was under forty-five years of age and on the 1830 Census she was listed as being between sixty and seventy years of age, Therefore, she would have been born between 1765 and 1770. Mary died soon after 1830, as at the time of the death of Benjamin H. Kerrick in about 1838 his wife was the former Theresa Carrico, who was born in about 1781. Apparently, he married Theresa Carrico soon after Mary's death.
The land that Benjamin H. Kerrick purchased from Ebenezer Patton March 11, 1805, was paid for with L240 Kentucky currency and was described as follows:
"200 acres of land on waters of Brasheares Creek beginning on the side of a branch at a white ash and two Beech trees the beginning corner of James Patton's, Benjamin Popo's and Mark Thomas 30,000 acres survey running thence with their line north 20 deg.

Recorded by James Craig, Clerk in March County Court 1805
On june 10, 1805, Benjamin H. Kerrick sold to James Luckett, (luckel) for thirty-six the following described land:
"On the waters of Lott River containing by estimate seventy three acres begining at a blue ash and honey locust corner to a survey of William Kincheleo's running thence south 30 degrees west one hundred and twenty paces crossing Brashearses Creek to a white walnut Lynn and Beech on the bank of the said Creek thence up the same south thirty four degrees east twenty four poles south sixty degrees East thirty eight poles to two Beech trees corner to Henry Shivly thence with his line North Thirty degrees East one hundred 34 poles to an Elm and Beech thence South 63 degrees East 51 poles to four Beeches thence North 45 degrees East 35 poles to two Beeches and sugartree on Shively"s line thence North 63 degrees west 120 poles to sugartree and walnut on Kincheloe's line thence South with same 30 degrees West 33 and 1/2 poles to the begining,"

Records were not checked carefully to determine just what the relationship was in connection with Thomas I. and Felix S. Kerrick.
They were not listed on the Spencer County or Shelby County Census records from 1810 through 1850. Census records would indicate that one of the sons of Benjamin's son, name unknown (No.3 above), died or moved away before he was twenty years of age. It is possible that the other two sons, who were living with Benjamin in 1830, being grandsons of Benjamin, may have been Felix S. and Thomas I. Kerrick.
After the death of Benjamin H. Kerrick's wife, Mary, soon after 1830 he married Theresa (Teresa) Carrico, whose brother was Thomas I. Carrico. Her father was more than likely Levi Carrico, a close neighbor of Benjamin H. Kerrick for many years. Teresa was born in 1781 and died about the end of August 1850, Her will is recorded in Spencer County Will Book C as follows:
"In the name of God Amen I Teresa Kerrick of the County of Spencer and State of Kentucky being very sick and weak of body but of sound
mind and disposing memory calling to mind the mortality of my body and that it is appointed for all men to die, do make this my last will
and testament and first I recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it, and my body to the earth from whence it came to be
buried in decent Christian burial, not doubting that at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God,
and as to touching such worldly goods wherewith it has pleased God to bless me, I will devise and dispose of the same in the following
manner tewit:
"Item Ist - I will and devise that all my just debts and funeral expenses be first paid out of my Estate.
"Item 2nd - I will and devise to my friend, Rose Ann Kerrick, twenty dollars and whereas her husband Sebert B. Kerrick owes
me six dollars and fifty cents I will and devise to said Sebert B. Kerrick the said sum of six dollars and fifty cents.
"Item 3rd - It is my will and desire that all of my property consisting of one cow, five hogs, household and kitchen furniture
and every species of property of every description which I own be sold by my Executor hereinafter named and the money arising from
said sale together with a debt due me from Simon Newman and another debt due me from Othenial Kerrick of about Two Hundred Dollars
be paid over to my brother Thomas I. Carico his heirs and assigns forever to whom I will and devise the same.
"And lastly I hereby appoint Raphael Lancaster Executor of this my last will and testament Witness my hand and seal this

All Saints Church
All Saints Church was built in 1830. The site chosen for All Saints was a beautiful site located halfway up the hillside on a knoll rising approximately to the elevation of 200 feet next to the elementary school. Before the church could be completed it was necessary to execute a mortgage. This mortgage was paid in full in 1843 as the deed book shows and makes All Saints Church one of the oldest church buildings in Taylorsville. The present brick church, stands today a monument to the heroic endeavors and lively faith of the pioneers of Catholicity in Spencer County.

Pioneers of the Emigrant Trail
Some History of the Emigrant Trai1 and the Crimea House
By SUSAN F. ALCORN JONES

The Walker River Emigrant Road, known today as the "Emigrant Trail," is the oldest trans-Sierra immigrant route - and the one of which the least history is known. First opened in 1841 by the famous Bidwell-Bartle-son party, the trail was not used by immigrants again until 1852. During the late summer of 1852, an immi-grant train, probably best designated as the Clark-Skidmore party, came over the pass to Columbia.

The successful crossing by the Clark-Skidmore party in 1852 aroused interest among the merchants of Tuol-umne County and resulted in a delegation being dispatched to the Carson River Valley early in the summer of 1853 to divert immigrants over the new trail. So successful were these promoters that a flood of immigrants came through over the Walker River Emigrant Road, via the Sonora Pass (then located 10 miles south of its present location). Among these was the Kerrick train led by James W. Kerrick of Kentucky.
Kerrick's granddaughter, Susan F. Alcorn Jones, has granted The Quar-terly the privilege of publishing her statement about the Kerrick party and the subsequent history of the family at the Crimea House, a noted Gold Rush hostelry located two and one-half miles west of Chinese Camp on the Old Stockton Road.

Mrs. Jones' memory is extremely accurate. She states that there were nine wagons and 14 persons in the Kerrick party. The Daily Alta Cali-fornia of October 3, 1853, p. 2, c. 4, published a list of the various wagon trains upon the Walker River Emi-grant Road as furnished by Roland's Express. Tenth in the long list was that of the Kerrick party (spelled Car-ick) with the notation that it consisted of 9 wagons and 40 souls with 150 head of cattle and plenty of provisions. Mrs. Jones' statement that there were 14 persons in the party is probably correct.

Mrs. Jones has also furnished a number of photographs of members of the Kerrick Party, and Mrs. Ruth Lux of Sonora has kindly permitted the publication of a photograph of her grandmother, Oney Kerrick Mercer, who was born en route.

The beautiful sketches of the Crimea House and the old stone corral, which still stands at the site, are the work of R. Naomi Sandl who kindly authorized their use by The Quarterly. Special appreciation is extended to Mrs. Ruth Ann Newport, Curator of Tuolumne County Museum.

EARLY in 1853 James W. Kerrick with his wife, Rachel McKeirnan Kerrick, left their home in Kentucky for the "Great West," and it was nine months to the day that they arrived in California, having come by way of the Overland Route and over the Emigrant Trail to Tuolumne County. Here they built their new home, known as the Crimea House and sometimes referred to as the Kentucky House. I am told their train consisted of nine covered wagons, drawn by ox team, and 14 people in addition to the cattle, horses, and mules that were brought with them. In addition to my grandparents in this train were their children:

Benjamin Harrison Kerrick (born 1822) and his wife, Oney Luticia. Their children: Mary "Polly" Kerrick Walrod (born 1848) and Oney L. Kerrick Mercer (born 1853).
Joseph Benjamin Kerrick (1824) and his wife, Ann. Lawrence McKeirnan Kerrick (1827) and his wife, Cynthia Jobe. James Wallace Kerrick (1838) and his wife, Kate Uriell.
Mary Elizabeth Kerrick Stubblefield (1834). Catherine Kerrick Keough Alcorn (1839).

It was while enroute to California, while camped on the Platte River in Sioux Nation Territory, that Oney Luticia Kerrick died in childbirth, and the baby, Oney Kerrick Mercer, mother of Luela Mercer Cowell (the latter who now lives in Martinez), was raised by my grandmother. I remember so well my mother, Catherine Kerrick Keough Alcorn, telling of how a tree was hewn to form a casket so that the baby's mother could be buried and covered with rocks to conceal the grave on the river bank from the Indians. I might also mention that on the greater portion of this trip, my mother rode mule back and much of the time assisted in caring for the new born baby.
The Crimea House, a Gold Days' hostelry that stood about two and one half miles west of Chinese Camp, in Tuolumne County, was built by my grandfather, James Wallace Kerrick, and for the best description of this building, I quote from The Banner, Sonora, Tuolumne County, California, of Friday, October 21, 1949: " Old Crimea House Destroyed By Fire"

"One of the last remaining historic landmarks in the Keystone district of Tuolumne County known as the Crimea House burned to the ground last Saturday morning, October 8, from an undeter-miied cause.

"Last owner of the two-story, wooden building is James Clayton, local cattleman. The place originally housed a restaurant, bar, rooms and a stable for the comfort and convenience of men and their animals as they made their way into the hills in search of gold and other adventure. It was located on what was formerly the main road from the San Joaqtiin Valley and hay region into the southern mines sector of the Mother Lode and in former years was a chief station for freight. No one had used Crimea House in recent years except during roundup time when the cowboys did a little branding work in a nearby stone corral.
"The Keystone Fire Prevention Crew fought the blaze during the early morning hours. Amount of financial loss to the owner was not determined."
From the Knave, Oakland, Tribune, I quote:

"The Crimean War between Russia and the Turkish-French-British allies was in progress during the years 1853-56 and this, doubtless, was the source of the name. The Crimea House was a popular stopping place for miners while gold was plentiful in the streams and in the ancient gravel on the ridges. On the open plain near the Crimea House one of those strange Chinese Tong wars was fought on Sept. 26, 1856. In the battle were 900 members of the Yan-Wo Tong arrayed against 1,200 members of the Sam-Yap Tong. The cause of hostility lay in an incident of mining on Two-Mile Bar on the Stanislaus River, where some members of these two Tongs were employed in taking out gold from a gravel bar. A large boulder dislodged from a plot of one Tong and rolled onto the plot belonging to the other.

A fight resulted but was Inconclusive. The matter was reported to the rival Tongs who decided to fight it out near the Crimea House on the day named. Pikes, daggers, tridents and some firearms were secured by each side and the men faced each other with a tremendous amount of noise. White miners looked on with much in-terest, probably luring them on to battle, There was much confusion and yelling, hut not much damage done. Four men were killed and four wounded, Then they withdrew their lines and declared the matter settled. No one knew who won. Officers of the county arrested several hundred of the Chinese but little was done about the matter."

Grandfather purchased 100 hens for $5.00 apiece, and I. am told that for $1.09 extra an egg could be added to one's beer - in other words, eggs were $12.00 a dozen.
Sometimes known as the Kentucky Ranch, the Crimea House was one of four road houses, so I am told, that were established along the 100 mile course that served between Sacra-mento and the Mother Lode country. Stubblefield Meadows and Stubblefield Creek are also known today, and it was from the grazing of cattle in the Sierras by my folks that these places became known.

I have mentioned my mother's folks in this article, but little have I said about my father, Israel Putnam Alcorn. He was born in 1831, at Little Rock, Arkansas, and twice drove a band of cattle across the plains to California from the Mississippi Valley the first time in 1849 and for the next three and one-half years followed mining. The second trip was in 1853, and in 1856 a trip was made around the Horn. From then on he remained in California, settling in Sonora, where he followed mining and later stock raising. Catherine Kerrick Keough and Israel Putnam Alcorn were married in Stockton, November 2, 1859.

At the age of 85, I have just re-turned from Sonora (October 13, 14, 1964), with my daughters, Louise Jones Churchill, of Lakeport; Alice Jones Kuch, of Albany; and Mary Elizabeth Jones Thiebaud, of Sacra-mento, where a family heirloom of a lost art in the form of a hair wreath, which was made from the human hair of the people herein mentioned (in-cluding myself) was presented to the the Tuolumne County Museum along with several pictures of this early pioneer family. I am told this is the first gift of its kind to be given the Tuolumne County Museum. This hair wreath was made by Cynthia Hammers Kerrick, the second wife of Benjamin Harrison Kerrick. It is my thought that they would have liked to have had the hair wreath picture returned to the place that gave them strength and hope for the future. I might add that from Sonora, my daughters and I drove to Collegeville, San Joaquin County, where James Wallace Kerrick and his wife, Rachel, are buried. It was such a disgrace and shock to find that vandals have completely destroyed this sacred spot and little remains as evidence of those who fought and sacrificed to settle the West that others so less appreciative might live in the land of wealth and plenty.

Notes for THOMAS KERRICK:

THOMAS KERRICK

The Kerrick family are of Irish extraction, but for many generations have been residents of the United States. In 1824 the family removed from their Eastern home, in Loudoun County, VA, to what is then considered the far away West, Muskingum County, Ohio. Later their residence was in Franklin County, Ind. Thomas Kerrick was a carpenter by trade, but before leaving his first home in Virginia he met with an accident which debarred him from working longer in the trade. He had been injured in Virginia by a run-away horse, and was left a cripple for life. When he left his native State he was scarcely able to walk, while he carried his arm in a sling for some time,.He had only $27.50 to carry himself and his family to their new home, but after reaching Muskingum County he taught school and two of the sons engaged in cutting wood. The wood thus obtained they exchanged for salt, for which they paid twenty cents per bushel. The autumn succeeding their arrival they were unable to get the means to continue their westward journey, and with a one horse team, emigrated to Franklin County. >From that place they again removed in 1840 to Decatur County, Ind. In this County the boys grew up, obtaining such education as was possible, which as may be readily imagined was very limited. Their land was rented, and they were compelled to work very hard to make both ends meet.

Thomas Kerrick for many years employed himself as a teacher, for which position he was naturally adapted by his thoroughness and patience, as well a by his education. During the latter part of his life he was quite feaf and almost blind, so that he would consent to take only very small schools. He Passed away in 1856, at the home-stead in Decatur County. His wife lived some years thereafter, and during the last portion of her life was also nearly blind. Thomas Kerrick and his wife had a family of eight children, whose name are given as follows: Nimrod, a resident of Bloomington, Ill as of 1900.
James, who died in Decatur County, Ind. Walter, who died in Marshall County, ILL. Armisted Kerrick
Johanna, who died in Decatur County, Ind. Stephen, who died in Decatur County, Ind. Hugh, who died in Rush County, Ind. Mary, married James Throp of Decatur County, Ind.



Thomas Kerrick served in the war of 1812 under the Virginia Militia as a PVT.

Notes for NIMROD KERRICK:
REVEREND NIMROD KERRICK


Born October ‘6, 1808. in Loudon county, Virginia. He was the first born of Thomas, and Phoebe Kerrick. He died in Bloomington. Illinois, December, 13, 1897 having completed two months of his ninetieth year. His death resulted from injuries received three months before by falling upon the brick pavement. as he was walking from his own to the house of one of his sons near by. Up to the day of this accident he was in good health, having comfortable use of all of his faculties. Free from bodily pains, clear and vigorous in mind, he enjoyed the society of his family and friends and books through all his declining years.

Mr. Kerricks boyhood was spent on a Virginia farm. Until be was sixteen years old he had attended school but a few months. From eleven to sixteen he had but three weeks of schooling; this was a source of regret to hin, all his life. He had a strong natural thirst for knowledge from early youth. Having learned to read well while a small boy, he read again and again such few books as were within his reach; some of These he read so often that he knew them almost as well as if he had himself written them. Probably few men have lived who knew the Bible as well as Mr. Kerrick: he could repeat from memory, with astonishing accuracy, a large part of it. Mr. Kerricks most remarkable memory and his long life together made him a real connecting link between the earlier and modern times of our country. He well remembered Ceneral LaFayette’s visit to the United States in 1824. The general was in Leesburg. not mare than ten or twelve miles away, but young Nimrod could do just as good a days work on the farm that day, and he was left to do it while the older ones went to greet the hero.

In the fall of 1824 Mr. Kerrick moved with his parents to Muskingom county Ohio, traveling overland in a wagon. He often spoke of meeting on this trip with General Jackson. near Wheeling. Virginia. who was going to Washington to make his contest in the House of Representatives for the presidency, the election day having been indecisive. Mr. Kerrick could describe minutely the general’s dress, his
carriage, the number of his horses and attendants, the exact order of travel. etc. Hearing him relate the circu instances of this meeting one could almost see the great Tennesseean and his outfit. ("My mother was a comely woman, still young, and the general bowed graciously to her as he passed.’) The Kerricks were not for Jackson for president,, but that gracious bow to the "comely mother palliated Jackson politics to a sensible degree one could still see it after seventy years, as Mr. Kerrick related the incident.

The family remained in Ohio but two years, then pushed on to southeastern Indiana. which region became their permanent home. The first settlement was made in Franklin county, but later, lands were taken and a final settlement made in Docatur county.

At about twenty years of age Mr. Kerrick had the only severe, or dangerous sickness of his long life: recovering from this, but not yet strong, be took a school to teach, and thus acddentally discovered his talent which was for teaching. About this time be met Thomas O’Brien, a noted Irish school master, who had received a liberal education in the old world. Mr. Kerrick became OBrien’s pupil and later his assistant; the two beeame fast friends and inseparable companions. The meeting with Thomas O’Brien was most fortunate for Mr. Kerrick. It is difficult to conceive how his great desire for learning and education could have been gratified in that time but for this meeting. O’Brien patiently and faithfully imparted while the younger man eagerly absorbed the culture and learning that the former had acquired under more favorable conditions in Europe.

For twenty years Mt Kerrick was a school master; he was eminently successful. Near Blooming Grove, Franklin county, enterprising farmers and villagers built a sobstantial brick house for his school, and her he taught ten consecutive years. He was able to carry his pupils far beyond the schools of his time and region. In mathematics he took pupils as far as trigonometry and surveying, and many of them became practical surveyors. His name became, and is to-day, a household word in all that region. It is probably not outside the truth to say that the character of no man, high or low, was so deeply impressed upon the people of the White Water Valley as the character of Nimrod Kerrick. Many of the men and women of that rapidly growing population received all the schooling they ever had from Mr. Kerrick, and many more received the larger part of their schooling from him. His unusual attainments and his pronounced instincts for teaching afforded the young people of the country opportunities that were not common in that time. Among Mr. Kerrick’s other attainments he wrote a beautiful, plain, uniform ‘‘hand.’ The writer of this sketch has received letters written within two or three years past, by a man who was a pupil of Mr. Kerrick in that brick school house, and it would require an expert to tell that writing now from Mr. Kerrick’s. This incident is mentioned to illustrate the powerful influence of a true teacher and how that influence is perpetuated. Happily for the great company of young men and young women who came under his influence as a teacher, Mr. Kerrick’s influence was always for good. He was a man of singularly pure character. Through all his long journey of life he walked uprightly, worked righteousness, and spoke the truth in his heart.

Although born in a slave state, Mr. Kerrick cherished from boyhood a hearty dislike for that slavery. He was a Republican in politics-a total abstainer from every kind of strong drink. He was of medium height and weight - in physical form a model, muscular, agile, possessing wonderful physical endurance. He was a profoundly grateful man for the blessings of life-satisfied and thankful always for simple food and plain clothing, but the best of anything was never too good, in his estimation, for his family.

All men, high and low, rich and poor, were men and brethren to him; he had equal good will for all of them; he respected men as men, not according to class or condition. He was strangely oblivious to distinctions among men; he had but one purpose toward them a11, which was to do them good, and he approached them all, whether of high or of low degree, in the same respectful and interested spirit, Mr. Kerrick was a member and a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was first licensed to preach in 1848. In 1858 he entered the southern Indian conference. His first circuit had nineteen appointments; he met and preached at all of these at least once a month. His last appointment was Liberty, Union county. At the close of his ministry there, he moved to Woodford county, Illinois, and there after his occupation was farming, the same to which he was used when a boy. This move and change of occupation was made in the interest, wholly, of his family. Without doubt his own inclination would have led him to continue in professional life; but he had now three good-sized boys, and for them he wisely judged that the farm would offer better opportunities than the town for a right start in life. No prefrence or wish of his own could stand for a moment against what he considered to be for the interest of his family.


While on the farm, Mr. Kerrick still continued to preach often. He was sought for to supply vacancies occasioned by sickness or absence of regular pastors. He was a Methodist, but not a sectarian. He frequently preached for other denominations, and always heartily enjoyed attending the preaching services of any Christian denomination. He preached many funerals, especially of soldiers of the war, for the Union. By younger ministers he was greatly revered and beloved, and he was often. able to help them, which gave him the highest pleasure.

Mr. Kerrick was married May 4, 1839, at Fairfield. Franklin county, Indian, to Miss Mary Masters. Miss Masters was a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania but removed when a young woman with her parents to Indiana. Five children were born to the pair, two daughters and three sons; the eldest daughter, and the eldest of the family, Mrs. Cyrus Mull, reside, in Manlla, Rush county, Indiana. The secand daughter, Mrs. W. H. Bracken, resides in Brookville, Franklin county. The oldest son, William M., was killed in battle, he fell in the desperate charge of the Union forces upon the Confederate works at Vicksburg, May 22, 1863. He was barely nineteen years old when he was killed. The second son, Leonidas H., and the youngest, Thomas C., reside in Bloomington, Illinois. Mr. Kerrick’s last years were spent in Bloomington. Mrs. Kerrick survives, and still maintains the home in which Mr. Kerrick died. At the advanced age of eighty-three years, she possesses remarkable health and strength. Her well-known and exceptionally strong mental characteristics remain to her unimpaired. We have given herein a brief
and very imperfect account of a remarkable life; a life, it is true, not distinguished by deeds which startle or which bring renown; but, long, faithful, unselfish life, full of labors for the enlightenment and uplifting of mankind; a life that touched many other lives, and always to do them good-never to do them harm.

Notes for ARMISTEAD KERRICK:

Armistead Kerrick

Armisted Kerrick is a native of Loudoun County, Va. and was born Feb. 21, 1819. The principal portion of his boyhood and youth was spent in Franklin county, Ind. At the age of twenty years he went to Decatur County to clear up some land and prepare it for a residence for his parents, who removed there the following year. When prepared to establish domestic ties of his own our subject was united in marriage with Miss Sarah A. Sloan. He was a brave man, assuredly, for when he formed a home of his own he was penniless, but with the natural courage of youth he feared no future, how-ever dark. His wife was born in Union County, Ind. After their marriage he rented land, and begun by persevering, unremitting work to lay the foundation of future comfort. He was able in 1845 with the assistance of his father, to purchase eighty acres of land in Franklin County, on which he settled.

Rev. Mr. Kerrick was prevented from assiduous labor for a long period of time on account of an unfortunate accident which occurred before his marriage. He had his knee cut by an ax, and it was sufficiently severe to cripple him for some time. He suffered from poor health often after that, but never allowed it to interfere with his chosen calling, the preaching of the Gospel.

From Indiana Mr. Kerrick and his family removed to Low Point, Woodford Co., ILL. He was now the possessor of about $5,000 in money and the first year of his residence in the new home he cleared 123 acres of land in three different pieces. He has occupied his present home since 1864, and is now the owner of 566 acres of land, which he has improved until it is in good condition.

Mrs Kerrick (Sarah A. Sloan) died in March 19, 1870 leaving nine children, two having already preceded her to rest. Their Names Are: Joanna, wife of Abus Rogers Mary; Stephen, deceased;
Josiah: Thomas, resides in Kansas; Jacob W., deceased; Harrison: Henry: resides in Bloomington, ILL.
James, resides in Minonk, ILL. Benjamin B.: Phoebe:

The second wife of Mr. Kerrick (Jane Burleigh Soures Had three children with Mr. Kerrick: She had one daughter, Minnie Soures in her previous marriage: John B. resides in Fairfield, Iowa Richard L. resides in Fairfield Iowa. ------ Tazalear ???? Orpha, deceased;

In politics Mr. Kerrick is a republican and is very proud of the fact that in 1840 he voted for Gen. W.H. Harrison and in 1888 for Benjamin Harrison for the Presidency of the United States and has 5 boys that voted for Harrison.

Mr Kerrick for many years has been an ornament to the Methodist Church, of the state of Illinois. He has benefited the church in which he officiates as minster, by the purity of his life which an example all men might follow. He will be sadly missed when called away from the ranks, but can rest in the knowledge of the fact that he has been faithful in the few things which have been committed to his care, and thus will be prepared for the greater joys that yet remain unto the people of God. In perusing the ALBUM, the reader's gaze will rest lingeringly and lovingly upon the portraits of Mr. Kerrick and his wife, WHO HAVE GROWN OLD IN THE LORD'S VINEYARD.

Notes for PHEBE KERRICK:
WARNER, PHEBE KERRICK (1866-1935). Phebe Kerrick Warner, women's club leader, writer, and candidate for Congress, the youngest of eleven children of Armstead and Sarah Ann (Sloan) Kerrick, was born on May 2, 1866, in Belle Plain, near Pattonsburg, Illinois. While growing up on the family farm she earned money by churning butter, selling eggs, and driving horses. She attended Illinois Wesleyan University at Bloomington, where she was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi honorary fraternity. After her graduation in 1893 she taught science at Illinois Women's University for three years and established the natural science department. There she became engaged to William A. Warner, a physician, whom she had met at Illinois Wesleyan. After he established his medical practice at Claude, Texas, they were married, on February 17, 1898. Mrs. Warner began a lifelong love affair with the Panhandle'sqv "oceanic plains." The couple had four children. Early in the winter of 1903, when Dr. Warner returned from making a house call, he remarked that the area women were not sick, but homesick. Mrs. Warner declared that she would "organize a club and give them something to think about." Subsequently, she formed the Wednesday Afternoon Club, a local study group composed largely of young mothers and local school teachers, including Laura V. Hamner.qv This club met at different homes, and by 1909 the concept had expanded to neighboring rural communities. In 1913 Warner urged these clubs to unite as the Armstrong County Federation of Women's Clubs, one of the first of its kind in the United States. It soon joined the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs.qv In 1916 Phebe Warner delivered a lecture on dry-land farming at a meeting of the Texas federation in El Paso. Peter Molyneaux,qv editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,qv was impressed with her presentation and invited her to submit editorials, feature articles, and news items on rural life to his paper as a feature writer. Over the next nineteen years she contributed to the Star-Telegram, Amarillo News-Globe, and other Texas newspapers, as well as to magazines, and was a member of the Texas Women's Press Association. Some of her writings were published in Canada and Australia.

Phebe Warner, who was four feet ten inches tall, won a national reputation as the "Little Brown Wren of Texas." She championed women's rights, but she also believed that motherhood was "the best investment of a woman's life." After lecturing at Peoria, Illinois, in 1917, she was appointed state chairman of the rural life committee of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs. In 1920 she and Laura Hamner organized the Panhandle Pen Women's clubs, in which aspiring writers were encouraged to show their talents. That year Governor William P. Hobbyqv appointed Mrs. Warner the Texas representative to the National Congress of Farm Women. In her quest to improve the lot of rural women, she worked particularly for agricultural extension education with use of county and home demonstration agents. In 1929 President Herbert Hoover appointed her to a national Home Builders Committee. She supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt's National Industrial Recovery Act during the early 1930s and in 1932 ran fourth in a slate of ten for the United States Congress. She helped push for a state park system and became a member of the first Texas State Park Board, on which she served ten years. Governor Pat M. Neffqv appointed her secretary of the board in 1923. She was one of the first to advocate making Palo Duro Canyon a state park, a dream realized in 1933. She worked with the young people in the Sunday school department of the Claude Methodist Church throughout her thirty-seven years in Texas. On May 14, 1935, she died at her home following a lengthy bout with pneumonia. She was buried in the Claude Cemetery next to her husband, who had died the previous year. The Phebe Kerrick Warner Home Management House at West Texas State Teachers' College in Canyon was dedicated in March 1938. In 1964 a collection of Mrs. Warner's newspaper articles, Selected Editorials, was published in book form by her children. Her papers are housed in the Research Center at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.qv

Notes for JOSIAH KERRICK:

JOSIAH KERRICK

Josiah Kerrick, 94, a resident of Minonk for nearly 70 years has passed away at 6:50 o’clock this morning at the home of his daughter Mrs. Jacob M. Knapp in this city where he had been making his home for the past few years. Death came peacefully to the aged man with his daughters, Mrs. Eva Este
Mrs. Florence Cassens. and Mrs. Elsie Knapp, together with Job C. Cassens and Jacob M. Knapp at his bedside. He was taken quite sick at his stomach yesterday afternoon and this continued through the night, and being concious at most up to the end. Funeral services will be held at the Knapp home at 2:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. C. W. Sedgewick of Farmington, assisted by the Rev. Ross Thornton, the local Methedist, pastor. The body will be laid to rest beside his wife, In the Minonk cemetery.

Josiah Kerrick was born in Franklin county, Indiana, on June 20, 1843 and at the time of his passing on March 13, 1948, was age 94 years, seven months and 28 days. He was a son of Armistead Kerrick and Sarah Sloan Kerrick and came to Illinois in the spring of 1856 and settled on a farm near Low- point. There was no town or railroad there at that time. In the fall of 1863 the family moved to a farm at Pattonsburg. He attended the log school of Lowpoint and after moving to the Pattonsburg district attended the Greenbush school. Later he attended the Wesley. College at Bloomington for. over two years.

The marriage of Mr. Kerrick to Miss Margaret Ellen Hollenback took place on March ‘10, 1870 at the home of the parents bride just south-west of Pattonsburg. They were the parents of four children of whom three of whom survive: Mrs. E. Estes.. of St. Johns, Mich., Mrs. John C. Cassens and Mrs. Jacob M. Knapp of this city. A son, Col. Harrison S. Kernlck, died May 15, 1939.

He leaves two grand children, Mrs. LR Starks of Lacon, and Harrison C. Estes of Flint, Mich., together with seven - great grandchildren. A brother, Henry Kerrick of Bloomington, and a half brother, John B. Kerrick of El Reno, OK., also survive.

Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Kerrick lived one year on the farm where .Frank Swan now resides and then moved to the farm owned by the Alje Harms’ heirs, where they resided until their coming to Minonk in the, fall of 1874. Civic minded and public spirited. Mr. Kerrick was called upon by by neighbors and friends early in his life to serve them in various capacties. His first public office was
that of pathfinder In Clayton town ship (this Job got down to the present-day highway commisioner); then he was school trustee and town clerk. In Minonk he was elected fi rst - as assessor; he served on the school board for 18 years and quit voluntarily; he was mayor of Minonk for two 2-year terms and it was during his regime that the first waterworks system ‘was installed in this city. He was then elected
supervisor which office he held for seven years and until he was elected to the state legislature. It was while he was supervisor that the new present courthouse was erected in Eureka.. The county seat had been moved from Metamora, after a bitter contest in which Minonk threw its lot with Eureka. Mr. Kerrlck was a leading factor in all these maneuvers and through his strategy the courthouse building cost the
county only 380.000.

First elected to the state legislature in 1898, Mr. Kerrick was re-elected each two years until 1912, when he was defeated in the Democratic landslide. In many of these 14 years he was forced to contest for nomination but he always won easily. He ‘was a great admirer of Lawrence Y. Sherman and Chas. S. Deneen.

As a man of integrity, Mr. Kerrick stood at the highest pinnacle, an the principal fault found ‘with him by. constituents was that he did not .~"bargain and trade" and get enough for the district. There was never a taint upon his public career.

When he first moved to Minonk. he purchased an interest in the Minonk Flouring Mills, owned by Dobuon: later he sold a half intrest to John M. Humphrey and this partnership continued for many years and almost up to the time the old mill burned in 1910. He organised the Minonk Light and Power Co. in 1889, giving Minonk its fiirst electric it's first electric lights. He sold out to Frank Z. Ames and S. C. Kipp in 1910,’ who in turn sold to the Public Service Co. Since that time he has not had any business interests but devoted considerable time to a farm in Michigan, where he spent part of each year.

With his daughter, Mrs. Estes, and Mrs. George DoWries, Sr., he was one of the three remaining charter members of the Minonk Rebecca lodge, and had been a member of the Odd Fellows’ lodge since 1877. A lifelong Republican, and a man who devoted most of his years to public servlce has gone. He had the respect of even those who disagreed with him because they knew he was honest’ in his
convictions. Minonk and community are much better and have benefitted from his life.

THE DAILY PANTAGRAPH 1939


Col. Harrisison S. Kerrick retired United States Army Officer and nephew of W. H. Kerrick of this city is credited with being the author the government flag code in large measure. These rules and regulations were recently published in the Pantagraph . Col. Kerrick now reside in Columbus, and his part in framing the flag code is thus told by the Columbus newspaper.

Adoption of a code of rules for the proper civllan using of the flag, at a conference held in Washington last week brings to Ohio the distinction of having originated many of the regulations accepted at the conference, and for that reason, Ohio is represented on the permanent committee appointed at the conference to enforce the new flag rules. There are 11 members on this committee.

The Ohio representative on it is Lt. Col. Harrison S. Kerrick, commanding office of the Columbus General Reserve Depot, member of Chamber of Commerce and member of the American Legion. It was Col. Kerrick who originated the flag rules contest.

Col. Kerrick addressed the conference in Washington Thursday on Flag Day, just after President Harding had given his views and understanding of "Old Glory" to the delegates.

KERRICK, TEXAS. Kerrick is on U.S. Highway 287 near the Oklahoma border in northeastern Dallam County. It was established on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway and was named for Harrison S. Kerrick, a railroad official and colonel in the United States Army, who owned land in the vicinity. Although William Murdock and his family had settled on the site as early as 1906 and later established the first school there, the town was not actually laid out until 1931. Its leading business was the grain elevator erected by Dan T. Wadley. By 1933 the town had a post office; in 1976 it became a contract post office and it was still in operation in 2002. Sporting events and a community band provided the chief means of recreation and entertainment. During World War IIqv Kerrick reportedly had the only designated airport between Amarillo and Denver, Colorado. After its schools were consolidated with those of Stratford in 1950, the old Kerrick school building was turned into a community center. In 1949 five businesses and a population of 100 were reported, but between the 1980s and 2000 the population was sixty. In 2002 the grain elevator was still in operation and the community church occupied a building that had formerly been a café. The community center was used for various programs.

JAMES KERRICK IS CALLED TO ETERNITY.
Services Are Held at Home and M. E. Church Monday Afternoon. Burial In Minonk Cemetery.


James Kerrick, a citizen of Minonk for nearly half a century, passed away at his home in this city -at 2:20 o’clock last Saturday morning. He has been in poor health the past year. And had gradully been sinking since early this fall.

The deceased was born on a farm near Lowpoint on Feb. 15, 1858, the sixth son of Rev. .Armisted Kerrick and Sarah Ann Sloan Kerrick When only a few years of age the family bought and moved to a farm 2 1/2 miles east of Pattonsburg, where he grew.to manhood.

On August 5, 1883, he was married to Miss Emma Hollenback, daughter of George and Malinda Hollenback who were also pioneers at Pattonsburg. The young couple moved to Minonk immediately and have occupied but two houses during their entire wedded life. Last August, while their daughter, Mrs. Edna Denson, and children were here from Arizona, they celebrated their - 49th wedding
anniversary with all the children and grandchildren present.

Besides a host of sorrowing friends. Mr. Kerrick. leaves a most devoted wife and four children: Mrs. Orpha Yarger of Peoria; Mrs. Wayne Denson of Mesa, Ariz.; Mrs. F. Wylie of Minonk, and Walter Kerrick of Pekin. There are also eight grandchildren. Besides there are five brothers and. a sister and One half-brother, viz: Josiah Kerrick of Minonk. Thomas Kerrick of Washburn; Harrison Kerrick of Riverside, Calif. Henry Kerrick of Bloomington; Benj. B. Kerrick and Mrs. Phoebe Warneir of Claude, Tex, and John B. Kerrick of El Reno, Okla. There is also a stepsister, Miss Minnie Sauer of Los Angeles, Calif.

The subject of this sketch joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Pattonsburg many years ago but later transferred membership to the Minonk church. He loved to sing and for many years sang tenor in the church choir. In politics he was a staunch. Republican and was elected assessor of Minonk township on that ticket back in 1898 and filled the place well.


He was always fond of horses and followed the trade of~buying and selling horses for many years, erecting a large feed barn in this city where many large horse sales were held. For years he was considered one of the best judges of horses in Central Illinois.



About twenty years ago Mr. Kerrick fell from the haymow in his barn. and landing upon his head, since which time he had never been quite active or as well as before the accident. Later years he was employed by many who were building homes, to do the grading on their lawns. He took great interest and pride in this work and many of the finest lawns in our city are the product of his handiwork.


In Mr. Kerricks passing not only the family will feel the loss but the entire community. He had no enemy and was charitable with the short comings of others. He was honest and generous almost to a fault. And often let the unscruplous impose upon him in business and in other matters.


Funeral services were held from the late residence at 2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon and at 2:30 at the M.E church;’conducted by Rev. Fleture DeClark of Cropsey, former Minonk pastor. Rev. W. E. Williams, the present pastor.
