After Jane's death, her husband, Dorus, published a book of memoirs of stories her father-in-law, John A. Benkelman, often repeated.

Bonnie Benkelman McLemore, the daugher of Dorus's first cousin, Ben Benkelman Jr., had many fond memories of Jane. It was Jane who inspired her to attend Western Michigan State University and major in Occupational Therapy.

James Jolly Still is buried in the Bean-Still Cemetery in Edgefield Co. S.C. His tombstone is marked with the deathdate, 15 Nov. 1849, "age 63 years". His wife, Isabella's tombstone is marked with her deathdate, 1 April 1872, "age 86 years". Because James Jolly witnessed a deed in late 1805 (see above under David Still). I believe he had to be born by 1784 to be of age to witness, and the tombstone age of 63 years may be wrong.
Edgefield Co. Deed Bk CC:Book 28:78. 21 March 1806. William Martin to Jolly Still 270a, on Underwood's Branch of Mine Creek of Saluda River adjacent lands of Isaac Bush, Benjamin Still, William Rotten, Ogden Cockeroft and Adam Stalnaker , originally granted to said William Martin 06 February 1804; witnessed by Benjamin Still, David Still. Signed William Martin, Mary Martin. Proved 15 April 1806 by David Still. Alexander Bean JP; recorded 25 March 1807.
Some of my information comes from Winard King, Jolly's descendant, and from a writing by a descendant in March 1917 called "Partial History of the Bean Family" which Mr. King sent me. I have also culled information from Mr. King's correspondence to me in 1985 and first part of 1986. He died soon after 25 February 1986, date of his last letter to me. He was a very good researcher and very enthusiastic about genealogy.

Even though he was listed as Elvis Kuykendall on the 1860 census, Linda Kuykendall wrote that "Elvis was a Stinnett his mother wed Alfred Kuykendall as his second wife. Elvis was the son of Dabney Stinnett. My Dad knew G. G. (George Graham) Kuykendall. G.G. and his stepbrother Elvis were close friends. Elvis was knocked down by big dog coming out of a shop in Carmi and died."
This article below, with more details about Elvis's tragic death, is from "Gone But Not Forgotten, Vol. 1", p 453, and was copied from his FindAGrave memorial page created by M. Kramer.
Elvis Stinnett died Thurs morning after suffering a fall when a big hound, running down the sidewalk, knocked his feet from under him. He received a fractured skull from the fall. The accident happened in front of Fred Brandt's Shop near his home. Born in Todd Co., Ky, in 1843, died 19 Dec 1918. Son of Dabney K. and Susan Britton Stinnett. His father died in 1845 and was buried near Elkton, Ky. Married 1867 to Emor Clark near Phillipstown. One of the founders and first trustees of McHenry Methodist Church. Burial Kuykendall Cemetery. Born March 13 1843 75 years 9 months 6 days. After father's death, his mother married Alfred Kuykendall.
Joel Stinnett, nephew of Samuel Marshall, is shown as an 1836 settler in Lewis county in Township 60, Range 7. Samuel was in Range 6 so Joel would have lived just a short distance farther west. The Stinnett's appear in the 1840 census but moved on to Texas in the mid-1840's where he had the first grist mill in the state. A grandson founded the town of Stinnett, Texas. Joel was the son of LINDSEY & NANCY (MARSHALL) STINNETT in Bedford County, Virginia. Nancy was an older sister of Samuel Marshall. (Ralph Marshall, p 30).
Lindsey Stinnett is said to be the son of William Stinnett and grandson of Benjamin Stinnett and Elizabeth Sanders of what is now Amherst County, Virginia. Benjamin served in the French and Indian Wars. (Ralph Marshall, p 24).

The "Early Settlers of Roosevelt County, New Mexico" notes that he was married first to Sarah Fellows.
Ebenezer Stockbridge was a minister for 30 years and was head of Holston College near Knoxville, Tennessee. (Early Settlers of Roosevelt County, New Mexico, pg 98)
Witness to the marrige of Ralph and Mary (Stockbridge) Strong. Also gave an affadavit about the health of Ralph's first wife, Mary Ella Hall. The affadavit was given to explain why Ralph forfeited his homestead in the Territory of Oklahoma.
Mary and her sister Celia Stockbridge were both Schoolteachers. They were homesteaders on adjacent plots of land in Olustee, Greer (now Jackson) County, O.T. They built a cabin across the property line, which they shared. In fact their dining room table was directly over their property line.
After her marriage to Ralph, they moved to the New Mexico Territory. She remained there after his death. At the time of the 1930 census, she was still in Roosevelt County, Precinct 24, ED 27 and listed as: Mrs. R.B. Strong O $800 F W 72 Wd 49 Va Maine TN
When Charles Strong visited Roosevelt County, New Mexico in October, 2000, he met J.T. and Lilly Belle Toombs of Pep, New Mexico. Both of them remembered Mary Strong. In fact, they still had a book they had received as a gift from her. The book was titled "One Hundred and One Famous Poems" an anthology compiled by Roy J. Cook. It had a copyright date of 1929, and was inscribed "From Mrs. R.B. Strong To J.T. Toombs April 24, 1937."
She apparently moved back to Oklahoma shortly after this, as the history of Roosevelt County New Mexico indicates she died in Praire Hill, Oklahoma. This is approximately five miles north of Creta, Oklahoma. Her certificate of death shows she actually died in Olustee, and was buried in Prarie Hill. The informant was Mrs. R.F. Mitchell (her sister Celia). The certificate of death also shows she was born in Virginia. Mary's early reponse to the federal census instead has her place of birth as Tennessee. Charles Strong spoke to Darline Irby, who has records of Jackson County cemeteries. She said that Mary was not buried in Prairie Hill, but rather in Erin Cemetery, located 2 miles north and 2 and 1/2 miles west of Olustee, OK.

Friedericke Ahr
Died at the Home of her Daughter, Mrs. C.O. Lenzner
Long and Favorably Known
Closely Identified Many Years with the Evangelical Church and Was Highly Respected by All
From the handle of the front door of Gottlieb Ahr's home on Seeger Street a streamer of crepe was seen on Wednesday morning which told the passerby that Grandma Ahr had passed into eternity. Mrs. Ahr was one of Cass City's oldest settlers. In 1868 she came here with her husband from the so-called German colony which was a German settlement near Bay Port. Cass City was then in its infancy, there being only a few holdings which formed the nucleus of the village.
From the first Mrs. Ahr asserted a beneficial influence in the community. She was always admired for her strong common sense and helpful disposition, which characterized her entire life. Especially was she a strong factor in church life. She was one of the charter members of the Evangelical Church of this place. For many years the services were held in the Walmsley schoolhouse one and one-half miles from the village. Mrs. Ahr took a leading part in all these services. Being musically inclined she led in song in every service. Through all kinds of weather, in summer or winter, the good woman journeyed to the little schoolhouse and became a source of inspiration to all. She was active in her sphere of work up to a few weeks ago, when she took to her bed never to rise again. Seven years ago the deceased wrote the following short sketch of her life, which we have translated from the German language:
"I, Johanna Friedericke Ahr, nee Stoll, saw the light of this world at Vaihingen, Kingdom of W?rttemberg, August 8, 1820. I came to this land in the year 1854 and entered into wedlock with Gottlieb Ahr in 1856. I was born into eternal life in 1859 and joined the German Methodist Church. After a period of nine years I came to Cass City where I became a member of the Evangelical Church in 1868. For a long time I had a hard battle with Satan who tried to rob me of my experiences as a child of God; but after much prayer and by the assistance of the Holy Spirit I gained the victory. I expect to leave one son, four daughters and -- grandchildren. I have nothing to glory in myself, but in the grace of God I do glory, for He has done great things for me. To Him be all honor and praise now and throughout all eternity. Amen."
At the close of this remarkable document she makes the request that the following words should be used as her funeral text: "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Rom. 5:20. She also chose the hymns which were sung at the funeral service. The funeral was held to-day. The pastor, Rev. L. Brumm preached a powerful sermon to a large congregation.
Mrs. Ahr leaves an aged husband, and five children, Mrs. C.O. Lenzner, Mrs. H.S. Gamble of Sebewaing; Mrs. S. Striffler of Argyle; Mrs. F.D. Royer of Northview, Mo.; and Theophilus Ahr, her only son.
(Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, Fall 2007)
The July/August 2011 issue of the Cass City Area Historical and Genealogy Society, Volume 16, Number 4, featured an article about the Ahr family, and noted that Frederica hauled her piano all the way from Pennsylvania to Ora Labora and then on to Cass City. She was the only person in the whole village at the time who had or could play the piano and she was in much demand for church services, weddings, and funerals, no matter the denomination.

His FindAGrave memorial page, created by "ProgBase" has a photo of his military marker. It is engraved with a cross and the following "Marion A. Stoneking, New Mexico, SFC 475 Aero Sq World War I Nov 30 1893 [???] Jan 12 1954"
When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was single, and a resident of Holbrook, Arizona. He worked for Babbitt Bros as a Warehouse foreman. His place of birth was listed as Kelly, New Mexico. He was described as Tall and of medium build, with gray eyes and light brown hair.
His DOB may be wrong on his tombstone, as his registration for the draft shows he was born on 30 Nov 1896, which is consistent with his reported ages at the time of the 1920 and 1930 census enumerations. The SSDI has yet a third difference, showing 30 Nov 1895. The year 1895 matches his application for a military headstone, and is assumed to be the most accurate. This application was signed by his apparent widow, Luella Corbett Stoneking. Luella is also buried at Sunset Memorial Park. The Bernalillo County marriage index shows that Marion and Luella Whittaker were married circa 1950.
