1939 Reunion" - Noblesville Ledger (Noblesville, Hamilton County,
Indiana), 31 July 1939, page 1 and 6 - Transcription: TOMLINSON FAMILY HAS 1939 REUNION It Was Held Sunday at the Home of Roy D. Horney DATES BACK TO IRISH ANCESTORS Family Has Had a Fine Part in History of the County The Tomlinson reunion was held, Sunday, at the delightful home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy D. Horney, on the Photo of Milton Tomlinson (Caption: The Late Milton Tomlinson - One of nine children of Robert Tomlinson) Lafayette Pike, near what was once called Little Chicago, and was well attended by the family relationship, but the family is not very large. There were about forty present and all enjoyed the reunion. Asher K. Tomlinson called the reunion together, after a fine dinner was enjoyed on the lawn, and made some interesting remarks and exhibited some keepsakes in the family, including a bottle which was used for carrying milk to school in the old days back in Ohio, but which looked much like a hard-liquor bottle. Roy Horney presided over the program and Miss Mary Emily Tomlinson served as secretary and did so well that both were re-elected to serve for the reunion at Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. White at Charlottesville, Indiana, the third Sunday of June, 1941. Mrs. White had a fine part in the program, Sunday, reciting in a splendid way the fine poem of Bayard Taylor, "The Quaker Widow". The Tomlinson family traces its ancestry back to William Tomlinson, who came from Ireland, the family having a fine part in the Revolutionary war, and settled later in Guilford county, N. C. The family came to Indiana in 1832, first to Hendricks county, and then to Hamilton county in 1837. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tomlinson's picture in a large frame, at the reunion, showed the finest characteristics of the family, religion, patriotism, courage, justice, industry, integrity and a kindly spirit of helpfulness toward any community in which they might live. Robert, the son of William, was the father of eight children, and these children were the parents of the family as it now is represented in this county: Milton, Martha, Noah, Jesse, Asenath, Jane, Levi and Esther. The Tomlinson family has had a fine part in the history of Hamilton county from the time when the members of the family helped operate the underground Railway successfully through this section of Indiana, with its terminal in Canada. They have been active in church work and also have taken interest in the advancement of the farming industry and of the building up of the fine stock interests of the county. Several short talks were made during the program following the dinner, by Finley Tomlinson, Dr. C. H. Tomlinson, Seth Hinshaw, Ludovic Hill, Mrs. White, and others and E. E. Neal spoke briefly in tribute to the history and characteristics of the family. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Ludovic Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Roy B. Wood, Ralph and Fred Wood, Ella Tomlinson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank White, Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Tomlinson and daughter, Mary Emily, Marilyn McGuire, Densie Williams, Indianapolis; Margery Glover, Greenfield; Mr. and Mrs Wallace Baber, Ronda C. Hiatt, Sheridan; Leslie McGuire, Bernice McGuire, Westfield; Seth J. Hinshaw, Sheridan; Finley Tomlinson, Clara E. Hinshaw, Lulu McGuire, Ruth Esther Hill, Hazel T. Hill, Edith Hill and Mary Tomlinson. A group picture was taken and much appreciation was shown for the fine day spent on the lawn of the Horney home, with old-times recalled and a reasonable pride in the hearts of all present for the ancestry and accomplishments of the family in this county since coming from Carolina to show its supreme objection to slavery in the south. |

Transcription - Page 1, Col. 1 Comment More Colors of the Rainbow The old church at Chester, in Washington Township, north of Westfield, two miles and more, is closed for religious services and this is a matter of sincere regret for many folks who hold the old times in a reverent regard. Chester was largely a Quaker community and was included in the fine tribute paid Washington Township by Prof. John F. Haines, who wrote a fine history of the county, and has always given old Hamilton county folks kindly words. And, he knew the history of the people and there antecedents. Mr. Haines is not very well and it is fine to call attention, once more, to his tributes to the people of his beloved county. In speaking of the Quakers, he said Washington township was settled largely by the Quakers. “As these people stand for uprightness of character and the thoughtful education of their children and are hard-working, thrifty and persevering, the township soon became notable for its churches, schools and the scholarly attainments of its citizens. The homes and the farms are among the best in the county.” The old church at Chester goes back to 1837, when Robert Tomlinson settled two miles north of Westfield. Enoch Jessup followed Mr. Tomlinson and soon the neighborhood was a happy community. The nearest church was at Westfield and by foot and horseback Westfield was quite a distance away. But, it was not until 1859 that the Chester church was established, after a number of people of the community requested the Westfield Monthly Meeting to permit them to hold a meeting at Chester. Said meeting to be held on the first and fourth fay of each week, except first day of quarterly and fourth day of monthly meeting weeks. The Westfield meeting agreed to the request and the next body to pass on it was the Quarterly meeting at Westfield, in May, 1859. A committee was appointed to visit the Friends in the Chester neighborhood and reported that the request be granted. The Quarterly meeting granted the request and sent a committee composed of Dougan Clark, Jacob Carson, Noah Stafford, Clarkson F. Cook, Benjamin Harold, Jesse Horney, Jemima Stanley, Sarah Hiatt, Elizabeth Bray, Edith J. Cammack, Phoebe Cook and Eunice Doan, with Levi Pennington and Ellen R. Hunt, as clerks. The original petition for the establishment of the Chester Church was signed by Robert Tomlinson, Peter Rich, David Stalker, Joseph Moore, William Baldwin, Lydia Tomlinson, Prudence Jessup, Amy Rich, Annie Stalker, Deborah Moore, Mary Baldwin, Noah Tomlinson, Allen Tomlinson, Eli Carey, Isom Hiatt, Jonathan Carey, David Fodrea, Abigail Tomlinson, Martha A. Tomlinson, Mary Carey, Asenath Hiatt, Eliza A. Carey and Tamer Fodrea. So Chester was organized on October 26, 1859., with Robert Tomlinson and Lydia Tomlinson as heads of the meeting and Joseph Moore and Amy Rich as clerks. The first minister to proclaim the Gospel was Joseph Pickett and the first recorded minister was Zimri Kivett. Other members became ministers and Florence Stanborough Roberts was a missionary to Africa. Allen Tomlinson donated (Continued on page 4) the land for the church property and the labor for building the church was donated. For a time part of the church was used for a school room. Those names given as connected with the establishment and the building of the church are among the best-known and most-highly-regarded names in the older days of the county. In that early day the Lindley family, north of the church, were Friends and, before that time as few years, Joseph G. Cannon, as a boy, lived in the community, where his father practiced medicine, coming from Carolina to Indiana and then on to Illinois. The community is always spoken of in te highest respect for those Friend Quakers, opposed to war, yet favored the rights of liberty, for all men. So the community was known as one of the foremost stations on the Underground Railway from the South on the way to Canada, and whatever force was necessary to accomplish the safety of the hunted Negroes was used by those peaceful Quakers. No community has a higher reputation for good citizenship that has the old Chester Community. The names stand for all that is best in American history and the younger generations take great pride in the record of the folks who made it possible to inherit great and good names. |

accessed 18 Aug 2023, Doc6672.pdf Link: https://www.newspapers.com/image/353672291/ From Image: 80th Birthday Celebration June 23 was an interesting birthday celebration, the occasion being the 80th birthday anniversary of Finley Tomlinson, who now resides in the home of Franklin E. and Zona Williams White. Those present to enjoy the event were Dr. C. H. Tomlinson and daughter, of Cicero, Roy Horney and family, of Noblesville, Roy Wood and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ludovic Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Barker, of Westfield. Finley Tomlinson is the youngest child and sole survivor of the family of Noah Tomlinson, and Dr. C. H. Tomlinson and Finley are the sole survivors of the 29 grandchildren of Robert and Lydia Tomlinson, who settled near Westfield in 1837. The celebration was in a way a reunion of the Tomlinson family and an interesting feature of the program was the reading of an oration written and delivered by Finley Tomlinson at a reunion held at the original homestead in 1892 and afterward published in the Westfield News. The article was ably read by Morris Tomlinson. It was decided at this gathering to continue the reunion and Roy Horney was elected president. The time for the next meeting was for some time in the latter part of June, 1947, at the park in Noblesville. |
