NOTE - This is believed to be the correct William Renton because of the accurate birth date and birth location. But the name of the father was given as William Renton instead of the expected Robert Renton and the name of the mother was given as Mary Wier instead of the expected Elizabeth Weir. I don't have to actual death image to know who the informant was but their information was close but not totally accurate.

General Notes:
William was not found with his family for the 1870 US Census when he would have been about 5 years old. This is strange because all of the other children with the exception of his sister are listed including one even younger than William. None of his siblings were married so he could not have been living with one of them for the 1870 US Census.

However, there is one strange 1870 US Census listing for a William Renton, age 4, and a female listed as Marg J. Pheir, age 9, in the same Van Buren Township as the rest of his family. However, it must have been some distance away as the parent's house was listed as Page 45 while these two children were found on page 9. Both census pages show Bellville as the Post Office but no other locations are shown. The census for the parents was conducted on 16 June 1870 while the strange census entry for the 2 children was conducted on 3 Jun 1870.

1870 US Census
Page 9, Dwelling 72
Van Buren Township, Wayne County, Michigan
(blank line for Head of Household)
Marg J. Pheir..9..CAN
William Renton..4..SCOT

But even this listing on page 9 is very strange in that the two children are seemingly shown all by themselves with no parents or adult guardians. In dwelling 70 listed above their names, there are two families: Charles Carrington and his family shown as family 76 and then family 77, Charles Sayre, or perhaps spelled as Saipt, along with his wife Ellen. The exact spelling of the surname is difficult to read. The enumerator skipped several lines showing the next dwellings 71 and 72 with just a dashed line through the family number area which would normally indicate a vacant dwelling. The names of William Renton and Marg J. Pheir appear on the line following the supposedly vacant dwelling 72.

I'm not sure what to make of this enumeration. William and the other young girl, Marg Pheir, surely both were too young to have been staying there by themselves. Their names are at the bottom of the page and the next page starts with a new dwelling and new family. Did the enumerator mean to show that they were being cared for by Charles Sayre, the young husband and his wife which were listed four lines above their names? Or did the enumerator just forget to list the name of the adults that were caring for the two young children?

It is my belief that this strange census record for the 2 children on page 9 are William J. Renton and Margaret Weir Renton. The age for William is nearly correct at 4 instead of 5 while Marg's age was shown as 9 instead of the expected 6. Her birth location was shown as Canada instead of Scotland. But who gave this information to the census enumerator? Certainly not the 4 and 6 year old children. I suspect the enumerator did not properly finish the household and came back 13 days later and listed the remaining family members to include the parents on a different page. I cannot explain why Margaret Weir Renton was listed as Marg J. Pheir nor why her birth location was incorrectly given as Canada.
--------------------------------------------------

William apparently had three different wives. His first was Harriet "Hattie" Marvin, whom he married in 1889 in Michigan and they moved to Seneca Township, McHenry County, Illinois. They divorced sometime between 1903 and 1908 with William then returning to Michigan. All of their children remained with the mother, Hattie, who was remarried to Charles Puttman and they lived in Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois.

William was eventually remarried to May Richards in 1908 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the 1910 US Census, both indicated that this was their first marriage which for May Richards was true but for William, it was his second marriage.

Around 1920, William and May divorced and in 1923, William was remarried for a third time to Grace Conkey but I believe that Conkey may not have been her maiden name. The marriage license shows that her mother's name was Jennie Wood but even she herself also might have been remarried. Her father's name was given on the license only as Robert with no surname.
--------------------------------------------------

William John Renton was born in Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, SCOTLAND in 1865. At the age of about 4, he was joined with his mother and six other siblings to emigrate to the United States aboard the sailing ship John Foster Jr. The arrived in New York City on 21 Sep 1869 where they were soon joined by the father, Robert Renton, who evidently had immigrated a year or so earlier.

The family quickly moved to Wayne County, Michigan where they all appeared in the 1870 US Census. About one year after his mother died in 1888, William was married to his first wife, Harriett A. Marvin in Wayne County, Michigan. His father died several years later in 1896 and by 1900 he had headed west where William and his family of 4 children are found living in McHenry County, Illinois. William fathered 5 children with his first wife until they were divorced sometime around 1903.

By 1908 William had moved back to the Ann Arbor area in Michigan where he was married to his second wife, May Adelaide Richards, on 23 Jun 1908. They had one daughter, Eleanor May Renton, born 4 Mar 1910 in Wayne County, Michigan. William and his second wife are found in the 1910 and 1920 US Census living in Wayne County, Michigan.

By 1923, William was divorced from his second wife and at the age of 58 was remarried on 24 Dec 1923 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to his third wife, Grace E. Barber, who was 16 years younger than William. Grace had been previously married at the age of 15 to Lorenzo Jake Conkey and had three children from him. William and Grace are found in the 1930 and 1940 US Census living in Calhoun County, Michigan and Washtenaw County, Michigan respectively. Some of Grace's supposed grandchildren are shown with them on those census records but in truth they are nieces of Grace and the father to those children was her brother, Guy Walter Conkey. William and Grace had no children of their own.

William died on 30 Mar 1946 in Albion, Calhoun County, Michigan and was buried in the local Riverside Cemetery. There is no visible gravestone.

Less than six months after the death of her second husband, Grace E. Barber at the age of 66 was remarried to Albert Wodtke on 28 Sep 1946. She died 2 Jan 1950 in Albion, Calhoun County, Michigan and is buried in the local Riverside Cemetery.

Daniel and John were both married in Illinois in 1899 and 1900 respectively but Harriet was married in Michigan in 1889. Edward must not have gotten along with his other brothers because he was boarding with and working as a farm laborer for a different family. Their father, Alexander, was living with John and his wife for the 1910 US Census but I have yet to locate him in the 1900 US Census. There may possibly be other siblings that also moved to McHenry County, Illinois but I suspect most of the sisters may have already been married and either stayed back in Michigan or if they did move, I can't locate them because I don't know their married names.
----------------------------------------------

Carol Renton remembers visiting what her father called "Grandma Harvard" or "Grandma Putman" during the early 1950s when she was just a toddler. The name Harvard was because she lived in or near the town of Harvard, Illinois. Harriett Marvin was divorced from William Renton sometime between 1900 and 1908 and she was remarried to Claude Putman, thus the name Grandma Putman. Apparently William Renton moved back to Michigan where he eventually was remarried twice again. All of the Renton children remained with Harriett and were raise by her and her second husband, Claude Putman. Harriett's death was on 9 Jan 1952.

Death Notes:
Illinois State Archives: Online Death Certificates 1916-1950:
Name: Frisk, Justus Henry
Sex: M/W
Age: Y-72
Certificate #: 0039445
Date: 1949-09-10
County: Winnebago
------------------------------------

The Death Certificate indicates that Justus' "usual occupation" was "Operator - Service Station". After his failed milk dairy delivery business, Justus later owned or operated a typical "gas station".

The Death Certificate also indicates that his father's and mother's names are "unknown" but both were born in Sweden. As with all Death Certificates, this type of information is provided by a surviving informant, who may or may not know all of the details. In this case, the informant was his son, Walter, who lived in nearby Durand, Illinois.

The cause of death was listed as acute peritonitis following a perforation of the rectum by carcinoma following a four day hospital stay in Swedish American hospital. The carcinoma was diagnosed two months previous. He also suffered from chronic myocarditis and chronic bronchitis.

Funeral arrangements were handled by Wilbur-Christenson Funeral Home in Rockford.

Burial Notes:
Find A Grave Memorial #107626824

Justus, his wife Ottiliana, and other members of the Frisk family are all buried near each other in Arlington Cemetery in Rockford. There is one large family headstone with the word FRISK on it and buried in front of that stone are Justus, Otilliana, their son, and other Frisk family members that I have yet to identify.

According to the cemetery office in June 2013, the following Frisks are buried at Arlington:
- Justus Frisk (husband)
- Ottiliana Frisk (wife)
- Walter John (son)
- Fred (aka Henry, son of Walter Frisk)
- Frieda (wife of Walter Frisk)
- Frisk Infant (probably the stillborn baby of Walter and Frieda Frisk born in 1931)
- Gustav Arthur
- Joseph
- Kenneth Joseph
- Linne T.
- Mae E.
- Nona H.
- Pearl M.
- Thomas
- Bertha L.
- Charles
- Donald
- Esther O.

It is not known if any of these others are related to Justus.
---------------------------------------

General Notes:
The marriage record from Boston in 1902 shows his name as "Justin Henrick Frisk" which may have been the original Swedish spelling or close American pronunciation. It may have been changed to "Justus Henry" just to further conform to traditional American spelling.

Email received 19 Nov 2013 from Christoffer Lööf Ljunglund :

Hello again!

It's nice that we've been able to get in contact with each other after more than 100 years since Justus went to America.

When it comes to more information about Justus I'm afraid that I don't personally have it. I haven't done the research but I have a deep interest in my family's history and my knowledge of the English language has led to me leading the contacts with you. I will ask my grandmother about further information about Justus, Ottiliana and Hilda, but I'm afraid we might be falling short there as well. My grandmother recalls her mother seldom speaking about her brothers that went to America. This is maybe a reason why we thought that the genealogy had ended in America.

Yes, I said brothers earlier. According to the information that I have the younger brother of Justus - Gustaf Arthur Frisk - also went to America (but perhaps a couple of years later). We do not know what happened to him and if there would be any possible descendants.

Västergötland is a province of Sweden and it's where the Frisk family is coming from. In this sense the information is correct, but I will ask my grandmother about Justus city or village of birth. For information about the wedding I'm afraid I'll need to get back to you about that as well.

Under the photo of Märta and Ottiliana you first have a name "Bror Malmqvist" this is probably the name of the photographer which took the photo. The other word "Skillingaryd" is the name of a town located in the province of Småland. This is probably the place where the photograph was taken. So apparently a man named Bror Malmqvist had a photography store in Skillingaryd.

We've been able to trace the ancestors of Justus (and us) to the mid-18th century. Do you want all of these names? We can at least start with Justus closest family.

Johan Frisk (1849-1922) and Maria Larsdotter-Ahlin (1852-1922) were the parents of Justus Henric Frisk (1877-1949) the first child of six.

- Their first daughter, Anna Serafina Sundin Frisk (1881-1938), had seven children and I'm sure there are plenty of descendants of her in Sweden but as far as I know we do not have contact with them.

- Their second son, Gustaf Arthur Frisk (1884-1947), is the one who's supposed to have gone to America as well.

- Their third son, Karl Gideon Frisk (1888-1889), only lived to be 11 months.

- Their fourth son, Nils Sixtus Gideon Frisk (1891-1892), only lived to be 10 months.

- Their second daughter, Nanny Alma Dorothea Ahlin (born frisk, 1893-1959) is my great-grandmother.

I will try to get a hold of more information and I know that my grandmother has more pictures of Justus. Let me know if there's anything else you, or the Rentons, would like to know.

In case you already didn't know the meaning of it I can explain the name Frisk for you. "Frisk" is a Swedish word which means "Healthy" this is a typical soldier name. Soldiers often got new names when they were recruited. The names were short and described something about the person. Other examples of solider names are Tapper (Brave), Stark (Strong) and Lustig (Funny).

I'll get back to you when I've spoken with my grandmother. Till then I would find it very interesting to find out where the family is located at the moment. I know that Rockford might have been Justus' first place of resident but what happened with the family after that?

Best regards

General Notes:
Ancestry.com/RootsWeb.com Database: Lisa Holmes Family Tree: (From Sharon Rouse Eye) We do have copies of Pension application papers for Great Grandpa Charles, which are quite interesting. He was in the Civil War. Some interesting comments from Mary Josephine (his wife), are in there, in fact rather amusing.
----------------------------------

So where does the name TARBELL come from? Apparently nobody in the family seems to know but I found one possible source on the 1860 US Census of Ira Holmes in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Living next door to them was John P. Tarbell and his family. Perhaps Ira was fond of this family and gave their name as the middle name to one of his sons. Also the name of the town clerk of Pepperell was George Tarbell.
------------------------------

Possible 1900 US Census
Charles was previously living in Cherry Valley, Illinois and there would have been little reason for him to return to Pepperell, Massachusetts but he is not found anywhere else as living in Illinois. The census shows him living next to his 1/2 brother Ira Cates Holmes and his family.

NOTE - This census shows the neighboring farm to be inhabited by John and Catherine Tarbell which probably explains where Charles got his middle name of Tarbell. It was probably just a unique name that Ira and his 1st wife, Harriet, liked or maybe they were very close friends with the Tarbell family and named their son after them.

7. Obituary: Rockford Morning Star, 22 November 1910, Rockford, Winnebago, Illinois, United States. ²⁴³ Charles Holmes Found Dead in Bed

Veteran of Civil War Succumbed To Rheumatism of the Heart

Rheumatism of the heart is believed to have caused the death of Charles Holmes, whose lifeless body was found in his bed at the home of his son, William Holmes, 1122 Charles street, about 10:15 Monday morning.

Deceased retired to his room Sunday evening about 8:30 o'clock and was last seen alive about 9 o'clock. He was accustomed to read an hour or so before going to bed and was thus engaged when Mrs. Holmes went upstairs at 9 o'clock. He had no regular time for arising, sometimes remaining in bed until 10 o'clock so when he did not appear before that time nothing strange was thought of it. However about 10:15 o'clock his daughter-in-law called to him and receiving no response entered his room. A glance at the body satisfied her life was extinct and she notified her husband who was working in the country. Dr. Haughey was summoned and gave it as his opinion that death had ensued about 10 hours before.

Mr. Holmes has been in comparatively good health this fall although his knee injured two years ago was sprained again about a month ago. He also complained of rheumatism in his left arm and shoulder at times and this ailment bothered him on Sunday.

Charles Holmes was born in East Pepperell, Mass, in February, 1843. Belvidere was his home for years previous to his removal to Rockford three years ago, since which time he made his home with his son William. Deceased was a veteran of the civil war having served four years in Co. F. of the Twenty-ninth Iowa Volunteers. Mr. Holmes never affiliated with G. L. Nevlus post.

The widow, six sons and four daughters survive. They are William, Edward, and Frank Holmes. Mrs. Clarence Leggett, Mrs William Crowell, Rockford; Walter, Seattle, Wash.; Fred, Chicago; Wagner, Charles City, Iowa, and another son in Cherry Valley. Ira Holmes living at East Pepperell, Mass., is a brother and there are nineteen grandchildren living.
