Note: Grandpa Wendell was extremely reserved and serious 99% of the time. He was born as child #2 in a family of 9 children (who lived), in extreme poverty as tenant farmers in Guernsey County, and later Columbiana County, Ohio. After dropping out of school in the 8th grade, he went to work in the tire factories in Akron. He bought and read Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends And Influence People, and put into practice every bit of that advice. He bought one suit and one pair of nice shoes (all he could afford), and wore those to go out in the evening and weekends and sell life insurance door to door. He worked his way up by sheer force of personality and persistence, through the ranks of National Life & Accident Insurance salesmen, until he was the District Manager for northeast Ohio, from which position he retired around 1958 or 1959. My parents would send me to stay with my grandparents for a couple of weeks in the summer -- once Grandpa bought me an airline ticket to fly with them from Dayton to Akron, when I was maybe 9 years old. Grandpa Wendell was a big influence on my development as a kid -- it was so sad that we lost him in 1968 when I was only 17. He had smoked all his life, and ended up with chronic debilitating emphysema. He loved fishing and hunting, and spent as much time as possible in these activities, until the last few years of his life when the emphysema became severe.

Stories told to his grandson:

"When my father William Wendell was a boy, their family was terribly poor. Their father would offer the boys a nickel to skip their dinner. Then next morning, if the boy who took the nickel wanted to eat breakfast, he had to pay the nickel back to his father."

"One winter there were lots of rabbits. My father bought some shotgun shells, and sent my brother Butch and I out with the shotgun, to shoot rabbits. He counted out some shells for us, and told us he wanted to see one rabbit for each shell. We were very careful and only took shots that we were sure of. One day, we shot a whole washtub full of rabbits. We cleaned them and mother canned the rabbit meat."

"One winter, the snow began to melt in January, in the corn stubble. Then came a cold snap, and the crust of snow froze in the shape it was melted, kind of draped over the rows of corn stubble in humps and valleys. We had a pair of ice skates that we shared, and you could start out on top of a hump, and glide down to a valley, and then glide up to the next hump, and just go all the way across the cornfield that way." (DLB 2005.)

     Edith Wendell was the daughter of George Nestor Windle and Evaline Etta Greenleaf.

     Edith Pearl Wendell was born in September 1893 An Ohio Births and Christenings Index record shows 28 FEB 1894.

McElhaney and Anna Orth, in July 1914 at Guernsey Co., OH. Edith Pearl Wendell lived on 8 January 1920 at 314 Washington Avenue, Lancaster, Fairfield Co., OH.²

Elaine Joy Whitaker

LANDER -- A memorial service for Elaine Joy Whitaker, 47, was held March 28, 2000, at Word of Faith Family Church in Lander.

She died March 26, 2000, at her home after a four-year battle with cancer.

She was born Jan. 26, 1953, in Newark, Ohio, to Fred and Audrey Piehl.

She spent most of her youth and attended high school in Eau Claire, Wis., and moved to the Fremont County area in 1979.

She ran an in-home day care for many years and recently remarked that she still had kids calling and checking on her to see how she was doing.

She formed a bond with each one of those children.

She worked as a pharmacy tech at Riverton Memorial Hospital for five years, then moved to Lander and worked as a medical assistant for Nancy Brewster at the Lander Medical Clinic.

In her spare time, she loved to write songs and play the piano.

She was very active in her church and loved spending time with her family and friends.

Survivors include her parents; a son, Jason Whitaker and his wife of Billings, Mont; a daughter Bethany Whitaker of Lander, her sister Lynette Ackerman of Eau Claire, Wis; stepbrother James Piehl of Lakeland, Fla; a close family friend, John Murphy of California; and one expected grandchild.

She was preceded in death by two sisters and her maternal and paternal grandparents.

Memorials may be made to World of Faith Family Church in Lander.

     Note: Regarding the deaths and burials of Lemuel and Elizabeth Warren (per Joy Warren):

They died during a cholera epidemic. Elizabeth died first, and her body was taken to Lincoln to be buried in the family plot, which we have seen. When the men who took her in came home Lemuel was dead so they took him to Lincoln to be buried with his wife. There was just one little problem. Elizabeth was Catholic and Lemuel wasn't. When his family, I suppose brothers and sisters, found out they said, "Ain't no Warren going to be buried in no Catholic cemetery," and went to get him and buried him in Pleasant Valley Cemetery in New Holland.

Elizabeth Wendell was born on 22 June 1818 at Guernsey (now Noble) Co., OH.¹ She was the daughter of William D. Wendell and Effie Margaret DeLong.
