<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Death of Mrs. Joel Brookshire</strong>

Mrs Joel Brookshire, well known and much beloved resident of Greencastle, died at the hospital in that city. Friday April 2, 1926, after a long illness of tuberculosis of the skin. She had been at the hospital about ten days. Barbara Ann Terry, daughter of Thomas and Susan Terry, was born in Montgomery county, Virginia, April 23, 1860, moving with her parents to Ladoga when 16 years of age. Her life since then had been spent in this vicinity. On April 7, 1889, she was united in marriage to Joel Brookshire, and started housekeeping at Roachdale. About 22 years ago they moved to Greencastle where they have since lived. To this couple were born two sons, Quay Brookshire of Cleveland, Ohio, and Swan Brookshire of Great Falls, Montana. Mrs. Brookshire joined the Christian Church at Ladoga when a young woman, later transferring her membership to Greencastle, where she was an active and faithful worker as long as her health permitted. She was a lover of children and it had been her custom to distribute cookies among the poor children of "Commercial Row" Greencastle, and a touching tribute to her memory were the flowers bought by the pennies of these poor children. Besides the husband and sons she is survived by three brothers, Joseph Terry of Minnesota, Scott Terry of Indianapolis, and John of near Ladoga, five sisters, Mrs. Missouri Miller of New Market, Mrs. Lillie Tressie, of Darlington, Mrs. Nicky Taylor of New Market, Mrs. Dora Curtis of Terre Haute, and Miss Kate Terry of Crawfordsville.
Brief funeral services were held at the late home at Greencastle, Sunday, in charge of Rev. Marshall, of the Christian church of that place. Mrs. Young of Greencastle, sang "Beautiful Isle," and gave prayer. The body was then brought to Ladoga Christian Church, where the last services were given. A quartet composted of Mrs. Grant Rose, Mrs. Cline Graybill, Mark Shackelford and Rev S. G. Smith sang, "God Will Take"<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </p>

1870 United States Federal Census MyHeritage The 1870 Census was the first census to provide detailed information on the black population, only years after the culmination of the Civil War when slaves were granted freedom. The 1870 Census' population estimate is controversial, as many believed it underestimated the true population numbers, especially in New York and Pennsylvania.Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Department's Census Office in Washington, D.C.Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-10128-73942481/ann-terry...
