Sydney C. Wade
Funeral services for Sydney C. Wade, 81, of San Augustine were held at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, July 15, 2007 at First Baptist Church in San Augustine. Burial followed at Crow Cemetery in San Augustine County. Bro. David Burcham officiated. He died July 11, 2007 in Carthage.
Sydney C. Wade was born in the Macune community in San Augustine County on April 28, 1926 to W. M. Jasper Wade and Zemma Woods. He served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and was a member of the Masonic Lodge and First Baptist Church in San Augustine.
He is survived by a host of nieces and nephews. Wyman Roberts Funeral Home in San Augustine was in charge of arrangements.
Ross Robert Wadzinski, died unexpectedly after a years-long struggle with addiction.
Born to parents, Robert and Mary Ellen (Cada) Wadzinski, in Schuyler, NE, Ross was on the move early-from the toddler who escaped and made his way down to the Felco gas station, to the Schuyler Junior High, teen taking first place in the 400-meter dash at the state track meet. He was fast.
In earlier years, Ross enjoyed winter sledding, summer firecrackers, and fishing at the family cabin in Fremont, NE. While he grew to appreciate different music than his father, swapping classic rock for rap, he still embraced a family tradition, becoming a fourth-generation cheesemaker for a time.
Ross could analyze any mechanical issue, often prepared spicy food (the hotter, the better,) and loved his two children. But neither his passions nor repeated treatment programs could break the grip alcohol and drugs had on his life.
Ross is survived by his son, Asher Wadzinski of Sheridan, WY; his daughter, Allison Mueller of Kellogg, IA; his father, Robert Wadzinski (Carole Tillotson) of Newton; his brother, Reid Wadzinski of Newton; and his sisters, Katie Wadzinski of Minneapolis, MN, and Kristine Wadzinski of Columbus, NE. Ross was preceded in death by his mother.
Visitation is Sunday, September 8, 2024, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at Pence-Reese Funeral Home in Newton. The funeral will be held at 11:00 a.m., Monday, September 9, 2024, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, in Newton. There will be a Rosary Service at the church at 10:00 a.m., prior to the funeral Mass. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery in Schuyler, NE.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Robert Wadzinski to help cover funeral and burial expenses. Any remaining funds will be donated to Hope Ministries.

She was said to be the aunt of Rosina Wahl, the first wife of John Adam Benkelman, the son of Adam and Catherine Benkelman. Date of death based on her tombstone, which was difficult to read and may be in error. BonnieMargaret Jacobs refers to her as Catharina Wahl
Kathy Bonnell shows a Catharina Wahl, born 19 Sept 1837 in B?rtlingen, Donaukreis, W?rttemberg, Germany, who was a daughter of Johannes Wahl and Anna Catharina Weihler. This MAY be the same person. If they are the same women, then she would nto be aunt of Rosina Wahl, but more likely a cousin. Rosina's father did have a sister Evan Catharina, but that sister was some 34 years older than John Schwegler, and unlikely to have been his first wife.
Per the MEMOIRS OF JOHN A. BENKELMAN by Hilda Jane Stickley Benkelman, Rosina was a German girl who came over to the United States when she was 13. She was the niece of John Schwegler's wife. She met John Benkelman in New York state, when he was visiting relatives. They married and returned to Michigan, and spent the first winter of their married live with Adam and Catherine Benkelman. John built a house in town for he and Rosina. Adam suggested that he and Catherine move to the house in town and John and Rosina stay on the farm. He offered to sell his farm to John and Rosina for $5,000, less the cost of the house in town. John at first declined, but Rosina spoke up, offering to help John with the farmwork so they could quickly pay off the debt. She worked side by side with her husband, like a man, often in her bare feet to save her shoes. They raised wheat and corn. They shocked up the corn in large loose shocks so they could sit inside and husk it after winter set in. Rosina caught a bad cold one winter, which developed into T.B. She was sick all winter and died in the spring. She and John had been married about 8 years.
In Art Peck's book, he notes that she was probably a member of the Wahl family of Zell, a village near Bortlingen. Catherine, first wife of John Schwegler, was her aunt.
A transcription of her tombstone reads:

"[Canada Waite] was the child born in captivity to Benjamin Waite, the hero of the early days, who with Stephen Jennings made the perilous trip to Canada in the Winter to ransom captives taken in the memorable attack on Hatfield, Sept. 19, 1677." Daily Hampshire Gazette, 22 October 1972
Laurie Sue Wakefield Reed grew up in Adrian, a small town in Michigan, the middle child in a family of seven. Avid reading beginning in grade school led to the desire to travel and experience the larger world. At age 19, she and a friend she met at girl scout camp toured Europe together, staying in hostiles, traveling by Eurail, joining in with the hundreds of other young people from around the world doing the same.
A few years later, after graduating from Western Michigan University with a dual degree in English and Philosophy, she moved to South Korea and served as a Peace Corps volunteer. On her way back home, she stopped in Eugene to visit a friend, fell in love with the mountains and ocean, and decided to make this town her home. Laurie thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors, hiking through the forests, swimming in the lakes, even completing a technical climb to the apex of Mt. Washington. She spent many adventurous days with friends at the ocean, completing over 100 scuba dives, including a shark dive in Fiji.
Wanting to have a career that truly helped people, Laurie pursued a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Puget Sound. After working for others, she opened a private practice to focus on promoting autonomy of the needs of people with rheumatoid diseases and various types of arthritis. A plaque on her clinic wall described it best: "It's a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together"
During this time Laurie met and married artist and craftsman, Dave Reed. After twenty-four years of marriage, they decided to pursue separate dreams.
At the age of sixty-five, Laurie retired, flying to Africa the next day. She was there a month, visiting five countries. Seeing the native animals in their natural setting had been a dream since childhood.
Upon her return home, she was diagnosed with end stage ovarian cancer and told, regrettably, that she had only three to six months left of life. Focus was on "getting papers in order". On a flight to Michigan to participate in spreading her deceased brother's ashes, she was seated next to a man flying to South Carolina to visit his son. A week later, on the flight home, the same man, John Sugar, was again seated next to her. They enjoyed their conversations and decided to have dinner together to celebrate this coincidence. They ended up falling in love.
To their surprise and delight, Laurie lived another four years, feeling quite well. During this time she traveled, skied in the mountains and swam in the ocean. She wrote a book, laughed and played with her growing family and friends, thoroughly enjoying the new love she stumbled into along the way.
Laurie passed away peacefully, in her sleep, on Saturday, February 5, 2022. She was preceded in death by both parents, a sister, and two brothers. She is survived by one brother, eight nieces and nephews and thirteen great nieces and nephews.

Kathy Casagrande writes that Claiborne Waldroup was born Claiborne Parrish Waldrop 1-11-1792 in South Carolina. Claiborne is the son of Hezekiah Waldrop born circa 1772 and Martha Davenport. Hezekiah Waldrop was the child of John Waldrop b. circa 1732 in Hanover Co., VA and Tabitha Parrish. This family can be traced further back to Michael Waldrop b. circa 1680 in VA. The father of Claiborne Waldroup died in MS after 1850 in possibly Holmes County. Paula Jones, a family researcher, states that Claiborne Parrish Waldrop always spelled his name as WALDROP.
No listings for Waldrop or any spelling variation in the Sabine Parish cemetery records.
The History of Sabine Parish, Louisiana (author John Belisle, The Sabine Banner Press, 1912) states that "in 1860 the white population of Sabine Parish numbers about four thousant, and there were less than two thousand slaves. There were few really wealthy people in the parish, and many owned not more than one of two slaves. the owners of six or more in 1861 included C. P. Waldrup.

At the time of the 1880 Federal Census, she was living with her son and daughter-in-law, William M. and Rachel Cobb, in Bayou San Miguel, Sabine Parish, Louisiana.
Paula Jones writes that Francis Plummer Waldrop was her third great grandfather, and that he married Clarissa J. Shaw. She has more information on this line, and can be reached at Paulaj@crcom.net.
Casagranda notes she is LIKELY a daughter of Claiborne P. Waldroup, also of Sabine Parish. James and Martha are not listed on the 1860 Sabine Parish census.Howard Waldrop notes it was actually her husband, James, who was a son of Claiborne Parrish and Mary Ann Waldrop. Paula Jones confirms this, and shows that Martha was the daughter of James D. Waldrop and Sarah Rigsby.

The biographical information below was copied from her FindAGrave Memorial page, created by Judy Rogers and maintained by Elizabeth Duncan.
Addie did not marry. Her father, John Philip Walker, was one of the founders and owners of Walker Brothers & Company on Davis Street in Luling.
As an adult she lived with her parents on Crockett Street in Luling and then later she lived with her sister, Bernice Ridout, and family, in Luling, Texas.
She was named in honor of her mother's sister, who was also her father's first wife.
Presumed to be the second wife of William E. Campbell from 1) Sabine County Marriage Records and 2) proximity of families. They lived nearby in Precinct 1 of Sabine County in 1910 and 1920. The marriage occured after the 1900 census, and Anna died before the 1910 census, so this can not be verified through census records.
On 22 February 1665, Col. John Walker of Rappahannock County, Virginia wrote the body of his will, naming his wife Sarah, and his daughters, Anne, Frances, Jane, Elizabeth, Sarah and Hester---all single. To his daughter Anne Walker, he gave furniture and cattle. 6 July 1668 he wrote a codicil revoking this bequest to his daughter Anne, now under sixteen and the wife of John Payne. He instead gave her a share of his land in Gloucester County.

The biographical information below was copied from her FindAGrave Memorial page, created by Judy Rogers and maintained by Elizabeth Duncan.
John Philip Walker was the fourth son born to Philip and Sarah E. Walker. He was born in Lauderdale County, Tennessee but records also indicate his birth in neighboring Haywood County.
When he was a small child the family, now with seven children, left Tennessee and settled in Guadalupe County near the San Marcos River at Prairie Lea. John P. was only twelve years old when Civil War broke out. He was too young to serve, but his three older brothers, Patrick Henry, William Byron, and James Knox, all left Texas to serve.
In 1873 he married Addie Fenner and they moved to Luling, living on S. 1st Street (now Mesquite Ave.) John P joined his brother, James K., in the mercantile business 'J.K. Walker and Brother' in Luling. They had two sons before Addie's death at an early age, in 1874.
After Addie's death, John P. and the boys lived with the Fenner family in Luling: his mother-in-law Alzedda and three of her adult children, Sarah E., Christopher and Josephine C.
In Feb 1881 John married Josephine C. Fenner. They made their home in Luling and had four children.
By 1883, a new store at the corner of Davis and Pecan became an important mercantile center for Luling and surrounding area. The store underwent changes in the following years, but ownership interest remained primarily with the Walker brothers and eventually younger nephews. Walker Bros. store still remains on Davis Street.
