EMMOUS, JESSIE, farmer; P. O. Newville. J. Emmous was born on the State road, five miles southeast of Mansfield, Oct. 16, 1838; his father, Allen Emmons, was born in the State of New Jersey, about 1801 ; he was a shoemaker, came to Ohio in 1816, and settled near Zanesville. He married Catharine Lime; they raised a daughter and five sons. Catharine Lime was a daughter of Michael Lime, a Pennsylvanian by birth; they owned a tract of land near Bellville, Ohio. Allen Emmons died near Bellville in 1838; his widow married John Lineweaver, of Morrow Co., five and one half years after his death ; she lived thirty years with him ; he died in July, 1875, since then she has lived with her son Jessie, who, at 21, commenced to farm on shares. In 1870, he was married to Mary C. Klusman, a daughter of George Reed, who was born in Adams Co., Penn., about 1791. By trade a fuller, he was married to Nancy London; they had four daughters and two sons; he died at 82 years of age; his wife was twelve years his junior and died six months later; they were members of the German Reform Church.

Two years after, Jessie Emmous married his widow; they owned a house and lot in Newville, then 55 1/2 acres of the Buzzard farm, which cost $1,900; traded the town property and $500 for the William Herring farm of 66 acres ; the view from the house is very romantic. Mr. Emmous was in the Quartermaster's department during the late war, under Lieut. Drake, of the lot Michigan Regiment. His brother Albert served three and Michael about two years; he died shortly after he came home from disease contracted while there.

Notes from Col. Joseph P. Parnes FACG of Dewey AZ. that are from a while back. Michael Lime (Leim) did marry Elizabeth Leim. She was the dau. of Jacob Leim, don't know if this was his cousin, and they moved to Richland Co. OH after selling their property in Frankford Twp., Cumberland Co PA deed book 1 GG 372 27 Mar 1823, to Peter myers for $1918.05. lands bound by Thomas Kennedy, John Bones and vacant land 126 acres patented to Michael Lime 8 Mar 1816 Patent bk H Vol 14 p. 81. They were in Frankford and Mifflin Twp earlier that that because they were communicants of the St. Peter's (Bobenmayer) Church as early as 1809. I have more and would be glad to share.
