§ (The News
Mirror Bourbon, Marshall County, Indiana, August 16, 1923) Several days
ago Mrs. Lydia Vining, aged and most respectable woman sustained a stroke of
paralysis. For a time her condition, like many who suffer affliction, was not
thought to be serious, though her age was 88 years. She was living in the home
of her son, Minor Vining, where the family did everything in their power to
make her last days pleasant and indeed they were. The funeral service was held
last Saturday afternoon, brief services at the Vining home, then longer ones at
the Summit Chapel Church, after which the body was buried in the cemetery
nearby. The following obituary was read at the services, written by Mrs. Vining
some weeks before her death:

Vining grew to womanhood and was married to Benjamin Franklin McCloughan, on
March 14, 1857. To this union three children were born Uriah Willis, Benjamin
Earl and Melissa Ida. Benjamin Franklin McCloughan died on August 31, 1862.

Cemetery,Antigo,WI (E on Forrest Ave. (S end of Town) off of Hwy 45 approx. 2
miles, S side of road. Note: Noah built and operated the only
store, a General Store, in the old town of Foraker. After the
railroad decided to build the train station a mile north and a mile west, it
was decided that Foraker should be moved to the new site. Noah moved his
store on a pair of skids and with the use of horses from Old Foraker to New
Foraker. Noah Kauffman then took charge of the store. Work trains
began showing up. On April 27, 1893, the first freight train ran over the
Wabash--a west bound freight No. 97, had a few cars, old hand brakes, link and
pin couplers, and a small engine. (My great-great uncle Nils Svenson
invented the car coupler that is still used today, see Mansson Genealogy) On
May 30, 1893, the first passenger train was run, going eastbound No. 54.
Foraker Station was opened this same year. In 1893, buildings began to
pop up every where. Noah Yoder erected a new store building on the
southwest corner of the junction. Noah operated a general merchandise
store for awhile as well as was postmaster in the same building. Another
building was erected against his store, and later on Noah took possession of
this building also, enlarged his store by cutting a large door through the
walls between the buildings and throwing both rooms into one store. When
Yoder sold out, the door was blocked up and became two stores again.
There were living quarters above the store. We don't know if Noah ever
lived there. Solomon Miller and Noah Yoder were the main stays at Foraker
in its early history. Solomon and Noah erected a building just south of
the little old harness shop and after its completion, put in a stock of buggies
and wagons. Later, the building was made into a church. Another
friend of Noah's, John Detwiler (a personal friend later on in life and his
second wife, my wedding shower being held at their home [Karolyn]) had a
blacksmith shop just north of the railroad tracks on the west side of Main
Street. Detwiler also put up the first dwelling house, ended up being the
3rd house east of the depot. Detwiler and John Blenis put up a cider mill
next to the blacksmith shop and did an enormous business. Later, they
sold the business to Noah Yoder who run the cider mill two seasons and then
sold out to George Wernitz, who moved the mill. Noah Yoder, John
Detwiler, Emmanuel Kime, Lorento Kime, Earl Mishler (our church song leader),
and Clarence Mishler then moved to Kempster, Wisconsin. (Sources: The
Foraker Truth, v1,nII, May 1, 1925, & April 3, 1925, both issues found

southwest of Stanford, NE in 1872. William earned his living by farming,
black-smithing, hunting,and fishing. (Memories of Winnie Faye Beins
1903-1999) Sarah came to live in IA with an uncle after both
parents had died in the early seventies. In 1876, she moved to NE and lived
with another uncle. In the fall of 1877, William & Sarah moved to Furnas
County in a covered wagon and set up housekeepng in a dugout. In her own
handwriting were found these words: "I have always tried to live the life
of a Christian." Mrs. Vining was here during the big Indian scare of 1878
when all the neighbors gathered at the home of Lennie & Dan Gapin on the
Sappy. Among us all she ranked always as a woman of sympathy, a kind neighbor,
a devoted mother and a true mould in bravely meeting the stern requirements and
often the disappontments of life. (Oibt of Mrs. W. H. Vining, The Beaver
Valley Tribune 2/1943) William came to Furnas Co., Nebraska in 1873. He
took a homestead on Sappa Creek and this place was his home until the time of
his death. In February 1877, he married at Fremont, NE to Sarah Ridenour. For
children were born to them. The oldest and the youngest died in infancy, but
two daughters and the wife are left to mourn. The daughters are Mrs. Traxler
and Mrs. McCarty, both of Furnas Co. The deceased was a member of the Odd
Fellows Lodge at Beaver City, and was a man highly esteemed by his fellow
citizens. (Obit of W.H. Vining) (Picture of Sarah Chopping Wood at Age 82 contributed by

"Religious": "The Baptist Church was organized in Penfield, New
York, in 1816, and consisted of five members, all of whom removed to this
township (Townsend) the following year. It was originally called "The
Peace Baptist Church", one of the articles of its constitution condemning
"all carnal wars and fighting, and the use of carnal weapons, in self
defence, as unwarranted by Scripture." The members, on removing to this
township, kept up their organization, the earliest meetings being held at their
respective dwellings. The first settled pastor was Elder R. W. VINING who began
his labors in 1837. A church building was erected at the center, in 1850,
costing about five hundred dollars.

Baptist Church")
Jared & Salmon Vining were Pioneer of District (Article in Canadian Baptist in 1913) The Vining Cemetery & the Vining Baptist Church, located on the corner of Concession 5 and the Thorndale side road, received the name from the Vining family who settled in the district in 1822, and who were prominently associated with the early life of the Baptist Church in Western Ontario. The first interment made on the Vining Cemetery was that of Joseph Vining, son of pioneer Elder Salmon Vining who died March 1855 at the age of 16 years and six months, a victim of Typhoid Fever, which was prevalent in the district at that time. The Vining brothers, Jared & Salmon with their wives, who were the daughters of Captain Bodwell, came to West Nissouri in 1822. They were the sons of Ebenezer Vining, a Baptist minister who had charges in the states of New York & Massachusetts and were descendants of two brothers who in the early part of the 17th century left Wincanton, Somersetshire, England and sailed for America.
Jared & Salmon Vining worked side by side in hewing out homes for themselves in West Nissouri and in promoting the welfare of the community. Jared Vining was a tall and commanding in appearance and attracted the attention of all with whom he came in contact. Salmon Vining was a member of the West Nissouri Twp. Council and in this capacity devoted much of his time and effort to the building of good roads throughout the Twp., for which he received no remuneration. He did not neglect his home and on his farm was a small nursery where fruit trees were grown from seed.
Salmon Vining also did missionary work in many parts of Western Ontario, traveling hundreds of miles on horseback. Traveling missionaries sent out by the American Missionary Society held meetings in the Vining neighborhood. Elders Crandall and French, who recognized the oratorical ability of Salmon Vining and also his wide knowledge of the scriptures, urged him to enter the ministry. A service was later held in a barn on the Vining farm and Salmon Vining was ordained as an Elder. He had four appointments in the East and West Nissouri Twps. He organized the West Nissouri Chapel 74 years ago. Elder Vining performed marriage ceremonies in the Counties of Lambton, Middlesex, Oxford, and Perth. A book in which all the marriages solimnized by the Rev. Salmon Vining from 1833 - 1844 are recorded, is the possession of a granddaughter of the pioneer.
In this book of nearly a century ago are found records of scores of marriages in tghe pioneer settlements. Another valuable book owned by this pioneer Baptist clergyman, and now in the possession of a relative is a large commentary on the New Testament, edited by Thomas Scott, D.D. and published in 1818 by William Woodward in Philadelphia. In this book are recorded the birthdates of the early settlers.
Rev. Salmon Vining, who was born on Sept. 17, 1791 died in 1879. Jared Vining, brother of Rev. Salmon Vining, who was born in 1789 and died in 1858, was a deacon in the Baptist Church and assisted in the establishment of the Vining Baptist Church in West Nissouri Twp. Prior to the errection of the Baptist Church, services were held in the log schoolhouse on the corner. A singing school was also conducted in this building and the Vining brothers were ever ready to promote the educational interest of the community.
Rev. Andrew J. Vining, formerly of London and prominent clergyman of the Baptist Church, was the grandson of the pioneer missionary Rev. Salmon Vining. (The West Nissouri Baptist Church has long disappeared)
Another article: THE
VINING FAMILY
Among the early settlers of Nissouri were the Vinings - two brothers, Jared and
Zalmon. These two brothers, like the Scatcherds, settled on adjoining farms.
They came from New York State, U. S. Zalmon was a soldier in the war of 1812
and for his services in that war, drew from the United States Government lands,
located in Michigan, not many years ago. Notwithstanding this soon after the war
they preferred settling in Canada to their own country. They were sons of a
Baptist minister. They both married sisters of the late Captain Bodwell, of
Dereham. Both they and their wives were of more than ordinary talents. A few
years after their settling in Nissouri two missionaries, Elders Maybee and
French, were sent to labor in Nissouri by the Christian ladies of the Baptist
church in Oxford, who, having no money, paid them with coats, socks, and other
home-made clothing. The labors of these missionaries were not vain for the word
was blessed and many were awakened and converted and among the converts were
Vinings. Though the Christian ladies and the missionaries are long since gone
the way of all the earth, yet "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." A Baptist
church was formed in the Vining neighborhood and these brothers were leading
spirits in it. The elder brother Jared became the Deacon and Zalmon soon became
the minister; he was of more than ordinary talent for preaching. This church
has had its difficulties like all other churches. Though these brothers have
passed away to their reward, there still remains a Baptist congregation in that
locality with a fine brick church; many of the children and grandchildren of
the two Vining brothers are members of it. -- Hal Gordon Brown (Editor and
