Notes:

Birth:
Evidence of his place of birth is conflicting. The 1860 Illinois census says he was born in Ireland, about 1850.

However, his brother Robert's birth was recorded in 1846 at St. Fiaac's Church, Clonegal, County Carlow, Ireland. Identity confirmed by correct birthdate of 7 June 1846. Parents Joseph and Mary Jolly.

On 12 April 1848, Joseph Jolly was born to Joseph and Mary. Baptism date is left blank. Although his birthdate was elsewhere recorded as 12 July 1847, I believe this is him and the correct date of birth. Why he cited it as a year prior and a different month is not clear. Did he not know for sure? Did his mother forget it?

Most census indicates his birth in Illinois

His 84th birthday was celebrated in 1931, and the newspaper article gave his birth date as 12 July 1847 and his birthplace as "Whitton County, Illinois." There is no Whitton County and the family was known to have lived only in Macoupin and Montgomery Counties of Illinois, though there may have been other locations,

Brother Robert T. gives their immigration date as 1851.

She was here just a minute ago With roses and daisies To Whisper her praises, And everyone loves her so. Has anyone seen her about? She must have gone off in the night, And she took the best flowers And the happiest hours, And asked no one's leave for her flight. Have you noticed her stop in the grass? The garden looks red where she went, By the side of the hedge There's a golden edge. And the rose's vines are withered and bent. Don't you fear she is sorry she went? It seems but a minute since May. I'm scarcely half through What I wanted to do. If she only had waited a day! Do you think she will ever come back? I'll watch every day at the gate For the robins and clover, Saying over and over, I know she will come if I wait. --Mrs. Cora Jolley Park

  Mrs. Mae E. Tyson Mrs. Mae E. Tyson, 83, of 5654 Main Street, Lexington, died in the family home Monday after a short illness. Mrs. Tyson was born Feb. 6, 1879 in Lebanon, Mo., and was married to Mr. Tyson in 1902. She was a resident of Lexington 20 years and was a member of the Lexington Methodist Church and past president of the WSCS. She is survived by her husband, David Tyson; four daughters, Mrs. Harold N. Dawson, Lexington, Mrs. Eugene Manning and Miss Bessie Tyson, both of Danville, Mich., and Mrs. John P. Lewis, Cincinnati, O.; a sister, Mrs. Maude Admire, Lebanon, Mo.' a brother, Fred Jolley, Loveland, Colo.' 10 grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Thursday. Reve. Earl Geer officiated. Burial was in Hayward Cemetery, Worth Township.

Notes:

Name:
Also seen as Elizabeth Mae Jolly, but always known generally as "Mae."

Birth:
Mae's 1963 obituary offers a birth date of 6 February 1879 and her cemetery marker also gives a birth year of 1879. However, the 1880 census clearly states her age as 2, and she has a younger sister 9 months old. She was probably born in 1878, as demonstrated in that early census.

Mae married David M. Tyson on 15 Apr 1911 in Jackson County, Missouri, USA. David was born in 1880 in Michigan, USA; died in 1966 in Sanilac County, Michigan, USA; was buried in Carman Cemetery, Lexington, Sanilac County, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
SSDI gives her birth as 28 October 1880. However, the June 1880 census gives her age as 9 months, so she was certainly born in 1879. The 1900 census gives her birth as October 1880. It seems most likely that the day and month of the SSDI are correct, but the year was 1879.

John Leslie Schneider died at his home in Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29, 1951. For more than two years he had suffered from a heart ailment which resulted in his death. At the time of his death he was pastor of the Northside Baptist Church, Atlanta. He was born on October 28, 1923 near Oakland, Mo. He graduated from Lebanon high school in 1941. He was a student at Southwest Baptist Collge, 1941-42, and at William Jewell College from 1943 until his graduation in 1945. He entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in September, 1954, and received his B.D. degree in May, 1948. He immediately began work toward a Th.D. degree, majoring in the Old Testament Department, and had a teaching fellowship in that department during the sessions, 1948-49 and 1949-50. While he was a student at William Jewell College, he was pastor of the Hickory Point Baptist Church in Miller County. During his years at the Seminary he was pastor of the Goshen Baptist Church in Kentucky. During the summer of 1950, because of his health, he was advised by his doctor not to spend another winter in Louisville. He resigned his pastorate at Goshen and gave up his graduate studies and his fellowship and Mrs Schneider gave up her work at the Seminary library, which she had held for more than four years. They later accepted a call to the North Side Baptist Church in Atlanta. In February, 1951, John again had to give up preaching and he was in bed for about six months. In August and September he preached on Sunday mornings and was hopeful that he was regaining his strength, but he was taken with virus pneumonia on September 23 and lived less than a week.
