Catherine DAVISON LATTIN THUMMEL (from History of Whiteside County, Illinois: from its earliest settlement to 1908) recounted in her eighty-fourth year, her personal and family history.
My father, Thomas Anson, was the oldest son of my grandparents, William and Abiel LATTIN, and was married to Lucy DAVISON, my mother, in Hartwick, New York, in 1809.
I was born October 23, 1810. In 1815 my father, with his family, removed to Ohio. We went by land through Pennsylvania, and over the mountains, and were seven weeks on the way. My father settled on a place four miles north of Columbus, Ohio, where he died of fever in 1823, aged thirty-five years. My mother, with four children, returned to her parents.
In 1830 she married E. Elmore, by whom she had two children. She died in 1858, aged sixty-nine years. In 1837 I married the Rev. C. B. THUMMEL, D. D., then principal of the Clinton (New York) Liberal Institute, a widower with two children-William and Elizabeth.
In the fall of 1838 we sent to South Carolina, where we remained several years, my husband being engaged in teaching. Here we buried our daughter, Helen, and Anson and Charles were born.
In 1845 we came north and bought a farm in Lee County, Illinois, for which we paid sic dollars per acre. In 1868 we left the farm and moved to Prairieville, one mile south, where the doctor employed his time in preaching.
