William & Mary/Alice Medell’s Family
William Muddle/Medell was married to Ann Mary Liley, known as Mary, in La Salle County, Illinois on 29 October 1854 by minister M K Whittlesey, as authorised by a license issued by the County Court Clerk at Ottawa in La Salle County the day before. It seems likely that they didn’t have any children before Mary’s death, which must have happened by 25 February 1856 when William sold land inherited from his late wife. This sale of land in Livingston County by William was to Lucian P Sangar for $150. The indenture described this land as:[1] My undivided interest in and to the North East quarter of Section Number Thirty (30) Township number thirty (30) north of Range number five (5) East of the third Principal Meridian being thirty acres, be the same more or less, being the same land inherited by me from my late wife Ann Mary who inherited the same from her brother Daniel Liley and her sister Catherine. Daniel Liley’s death had been a rather gruesome murder; he was hacked to death with his own scythe and robbed of all his clothes and processions while walking back to his home just over the boarder in Livingston County after having purchased the scythe a snath (scythe handle) in Ottawa, La Salle County. A young man, George Gates, was convicted of his murder, sentenced to death by Judge Edwin S England, and hanged on 28 July 1853 before thousands of spectators.[2] It seems that 50 more acres in the above described tract of land had been inherited by Martha Holland the wife of Lawrence Holland of Leicester, England; Martha was the sister of William’s late wife and had inherited this land from William’s late wife and her brother Daniel Liley. In an indenture dated 30 April 1856 William purchased these 50 acres from Lawrence and Martha Holland for an undisclosed sum.[3] Then in an indenture dated 26 May 1856 William sold these 50 acres to the same Lucian P Sangar that he had earlier sold the 30 acres to, for $300.[4] After his first wife’s death William, at the age of 30, was married to 35-year-old Mary Martin in La Salle County on 12 April 1857 by preacher Henry Whipple, as authorised by a license issued by the County Court Clerk at Ottawa in La Salle County the day before.[5] Mary had been born in England on 16 April 1821 (her date of birth is that recorded on her burial record). William and Mary had four children; the first two born in Illinois in 1858 and 1860. On 27 September 1859 William was living in Livingston County, Illinois when he purchased land in Livingston County from his father for $500. The indenture describes this land as:[6] The South West quarter (¼) of the North East quarter (¼) and the South East quarter (¼) of the North West quarter (¼) and the West half (½) of the South East quarter (¼) (W½.S.E.¼) – Section Seventeen (17) in township twenty eight (28) North of Range five (5) East of the third Principal Meridian. On the same day William also purchased farm animals and equipment from his father for another $500. The bill of sale describes these items as follows:[7] One Bay Horse six years old, one Bay Horse nine years old, one set of double harness, one bay colt one year old, one Roan Colt six months old, one Brindle Cow six years old, one (brindle) spring calf, two double wagons, one light wagon, one plow, three stacks of hay, and five head of hogs. In the census of 1 June 1860, enumerated on 29 June, William and Mary and their then two children were living in Pontiac Township, Livingstone County, Illinois, and William was working as a carpenter. Their third child was born in Canada in about 1863. On 1 April 1864 William was living at Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas when he purchased land from Peter D Ridenour, Sarah L Ridenour, Harlow W Baker and Caroline Baker for $200. The indenture describes this land as:[8] Lot No fifty four (54) New Hampshire Street in the City of Lawrence, County of Douglas, State of Kansas. Then in the Kansas State census of 5 July 1865 they were living at Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas with their then youngest child, their two oldest children are thought to have died, and William was continuing to work as a carpenter. Their fourth child was born in Lawrence on 12 March 1866. Then just under two months later Mary died at Lawrence on 7 May 1866, at the age of 45, from an ulcer in the womb. In 1866 William bought cemetery lot 63 in section 2 at Oakhill Cemetery in Lawrence and Mary was buried there, her grave is marked by an inscribed headstone, now lying flat.[9]
Just over a year after his second wife’s death William, at the age of 40, was married to 22-year-old Alice Davis at Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas on 3 July 1867 by Minister of the Gospel E D Bentley, as authorised by a license issued by the Office of the Probate Judge for Douglas County at Lawrence two days before.[10] Alice was the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Davis; she had been born in England during April 1845 and had migrated to the USA with her parents and siblings in about 1860. William and Alice had two children; the first born at Lawrence in 1868. William and Alice then moved to Leavenworth County in Kansas, where they were living when, on 30 March 1869, they sold their property in New Hampshire Street in Lawrence, that William had purchased in 1864 and had presumably been their home, to Mrs Sarah Hale for $800.[11] Then a year later, on 20 April 1870 William purchased land in Leavenworth County from the Kansas Pacific Railway Company for $281.70. The indenture described this land as: The East half of the North West fractional quarter of Section Two (2) in Township Eleven (11) of Range Twenty one (21) East of the 6th P.M. Containing Fifty Six and 34/100 acres. In the census of 1 June 1870, enumerated on 16 July, William and Alice were living next-door to Alice’s parents in Stranger Township, Leavenworth County, Kansas with their then one child and also William’s two youngest sons from his previous marriage. William was now a farmer who owned real estate valued at $1500 and had a personal estate valued at $200. Their second child was born in Kansas in 1871; she died when only a year old and was buried on 1 July 1872 in the same cemetery lot at Oakhill Cemetery in Lawrence as William’s second wife. William and Alice were living in Lawrence, Douglas County when, on 1 June 1872, they sold the land in Leavenworth County, which William had purchased from the Kansas Pacific Railway Company in 1870, to Henry Lewis and Albert Allen for $1300. By 1873 William and Alice had moved to Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado and in a deed dated 22 September 1873 Alice purchased from William W White for $100 a piece of land in Golden described as: Lot Number Ten in Park Row Johnsons Additions to Golden City now the Town of Golden. Then in a Deed of Trust dated 17 July 1876 Alice and William placed this property in trust with Thomas Corbett against a loan they had taken from J M Johnson jr., they had repaid this loan in full by 21 August 1878 when a Release of Deed of Trust records that they had regained full title to the property. William’s son Frank died at Golden in early 1880. Then in the census of 1 June 1880, enumerated on 8 June, William and Alice were recorded back in Stranger Township with their son and William’s son from his previous marriage, and William was described as being a painter. They were staying in State Street with Alice’s recently widowed mother, Elizabeth Davis, and Alice’s sister Sarah Davis, and as these two moved to Colorado to live with William and Alice after the death of Alice’s father, it seems likely that William and Alice and their sons had gone to Stranger Township to pay their respects to Alice’s late father and take Elizabeth and Sarah back with them to Colorado. In a Deed of Trust dated 30 January 1884 Alice and William placed the property in Golden, which they purchased in 1873, in trust with John Nicholls against a loan of $200 at 15% interest they had taken from W H Bennett that had to be repaid after one year. In the census of 1 June 1900, enumerated on 13 June, William and Alice were living in East Street at Golden; they had Alice’s mother, Elizabeth Davis, and Alice’s sister Sarah, who was now a widow, and Alice’s brother Thomas all living with them, and William was back working at his original occupation of carpenter. In the census of 15 April 1910, enumerated on 7 May, William and Alice had retired and were living with the family of their son William Samuel at Fairmont, Jefferson County, Colorado. Then in about 1914 they moved to Denver, Denver County, Colorado, and this article was published in a local Golden newspaper: Golden to Denver, Co. Mr. and Mrs. William Medell, our well known and beloved old time residents, moved to Denver this week to live with their son, Prof. W.S. Medell late of the Mines. Mr. Medell informed us that he is 87 years old and believes that he ought to do no more work and said he, ‘I filed the last saw yesterday.’ He has long been known as an expert cabinet maker and carpenter and saw filer, and his services have been in active demand. Mr. and Mrs. Medell are the ‘salt of the earth’ and everybody who knows them is their friend. May God preserve them many years yet is our wish. William died at Denver on 12 March 1917, aged 90, of senility and old age.[12] The same day there was a funeral service at Denver followed by his body being taken to Golden and buried later that day near his son Frank E Medell's grave in lot 1, block 240 of the City Grounds Cemetery in Golden.[13] An obituary for William was published on 13 March 1917: WM. MEDELL, 90, DIES Was one of Golden's Early Day Settlers. Wm. Medell, formerly one of Golden's best known citizens, died in Denver Monday at the age of 90 years. Death was due to old age. Mr. Medell was a native of England, but came to this country when he was a small boy. He lived in the East for some time, going to Kansas in the sixties. In 1879 he came to Golden and made his home in this city from that year until about five years ago, when he and his wife moved to Denver. He was a cabinet maker by trade and for many years conducted a shop on Ford Street. He is survived by his wife and two sons, John Medell, of Black Hawk, and William Medell, formerly of the School of Mines faculty, now living in New York. Funeral services were conducted in Denver yesterday, the remains being brought to Golden for Interment.
In the census of 1 January 1920, enumerated on 7 January, Alice was living with her sister Sarah Bray at 736 East 14th Avenue in Denver. Sometime during the 1920s Alice moved to New Jersey to live with her son William’s family. In the census of 1 April 1930, enumerated on 1 May, Alice was living with the family of her son William at Mojois Lane in South Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Later that year Alice was living at Sand Hills, New Jersey when she died at the age of 85, and was buried at Linden, Union County, New Jersey on 28 July 1930. An obituary for Alice was published on 28 July 1930: Alice Davis Medell Buried The funeral of Mrs. Alice Medell of Sand Hills was held this afternoon from the funeral home of Undertaker J. Burr Herbert on Morris Street (New Brunswick, New Jersey) and was conducted by Rev. C. Everard Deems. Interment was in Linden (N.J.) Cemetery. Mrs. Medell, who was 86 years of age, had been ailing for some time. She is survived by a son, William Medell, and several grandchildren.
Their children were: Frank 1858-? Malvanus 1860-? Frank 1863-1880 John Walter 1866-1929 William Samuel 1868-1941 Alice 1871-1872
William and Mary’s eldest child was Frank Medell who was born in Illinois in about 1858. In the census of 1 June 1860, enumerated on 29 June, Frank, at the age of 1, was living with his parents in Pontiac Township, Livingstone County, Illinois. Frank is thought to have died by 1864 when his parents use the name Frank for their third child.
William and Mary’s second child was Malvanus O Medell who was born in Illinois in early 1860. In the census of 1 June 1860, enumerated on 29 June, Malvanus, at the age of 2 months, was living with his parents in Pontiac Township, Livingstone County, Illinois. Malvanus is thought to have died by 1865 as he was not with his parents in the Kansas State census of that year.
William and Mary’s third child was Frank E Medell who was born in Canada in about 1863. In the Kansas State census of 5 July 1865 Frank, at the age of 1, was living with his parents at Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas. Then in the census of 1 June 1870, enumerated on 16 July, Frank, now aged 6, was living with his father and stepmother at Stranger Township, Leavenworth County, Kansas. In about 1873 Frank moved with his father and stepmother to Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado where he died at his parent’s home on 2 March 1880, at the age of 16, from typhoid fever and brain disease, and was buried in the City Grounds Cemetery in Golden.[14]
William and Mary’s forth child was John Walter Medell who was born in Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas on 12 March 1866. John’s mother died about four weeks after giving birth to him, and his father then look after him until remarrying just over a year later. In the census of 1 June 1870, enumerated on 16 July, John, at the age of 4, was living with his father and stepmother at Stranger Township, Leavenworth County, Kansas. In about 1873 John moved with his father and stepmother to Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado. Then in the census of 1 June 1880, enumerated on 8 June, John, now aged 14, was with his father and stepmother at State Street in Stranger Township where they were visiting his stepmother’s recently widowed mother. When he was 17 years old John lied about his age, making out that he was 21, so that he could work on the railroad, and it was on a trip to Ogden in Utah in about 1886 that he met his wife to be. About four years later when he was 24 years old John married 26-year-old Anna Dorothy Hansen at Ogden, Weber County, Utah on 18 October 1890. Anna had been born at Copenhagen in Denmark on 2 January 1864, and had migrated to the USA in 1869. John and Anna had four children; the first two were born at Salt Lake City in Utah in 1894 and 1896, the third at Huntsville, Weber County, Utah in 1898, and the fourth at Black Hawk, Gilpin County, Colorado during May 1900. In the census of 1 June 1900, enumerated on 19 June, they were living at Black Hawk with their four children, and John was working as a stationary engineer, which presumably meant that he was operating a stationary steam engine for the railroad. Then in the census of 15 April 1910, enumerated on 15 April, they were living at Clear Creek Street in Black Hawk with their four children, and John had now become a locomotive engineer. In the census of 1 January 1920, enumerated on 14 January, John was rooming with the family of widow Fannie Dawson at 132 27th Street in Ogden, Weber County, Utah, and continuing to work as a locomotive engineer. In the same census, but enumerated on 2 January, Anna was living on a rented general farm on State Street, Huntsville Precinct, Webber County, Utah with her two youngest children, the son, William, was the farmer.
