John Slatter (1838-1901), Oxford-born father of six
John was a son of John Slatter (1810?-1850?) and Sarah Harris Slatter (1814?-1872). He was baptized on March 1, 1838 in St. Ebbe parish, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. When John was born, his father was a cook at Christ Church College in Oxford.
In 1859, John married Mary Shehen (1837-1889) in Christ Church, Southwark, London, England. His occupation was cook. Between 1860 and 1869, the couple had six children: Thomas John, Albert William, John Daniel, Henry Arthur, Adelaide Mary Ann, and Mary.
John's occupation changed from cook to porter (1861 Census), then to laborer (1871 Census). He seems to have left his family during the 1870s, because wife Mary and five of their six children were in and out of workhouses for a few years. Mary suffered from depression and was committed to an asylum in 1874. She died of phthisis in Banstead Asylum in 1889.
Around 1888, John left England for America, settling in Cleveland, Ohio where he found work as a plasterer, wallpaper cleaner, and wallpaper hanger. He married Louisa A. Hexter (1849-1895) in 1890. After Louisa's death, he continued on his own until illness forced him to move in with his youngest child, Mary Slatter Wood. On August 12, 1901, John Slatter died at his daughter's home in Cleveland, Ohio. He was buried in Woodlands Cemetery in Cleveland, next to his second wife, Louisa.
