Alonzo Blyth
Born: March 15, 1841
Died: August 17, 1919
Good Morning Folks. My name is Sgt. Alonzo Blyth and I would like to share with you my life.
I was born in Huntington, Brown County, Ohio on March 15, 1841. I was the first child of six children born to Benjamin and Elizabeth Blyth.
In the 1850 census you will find us in Highland Township Lewis County, Missouri and we are still there in the 1860 census. The 1860 records are filled with my military career. At the age of 20 years old I entered the Civil War on the Union side at Lamyra, Missouri on November 26,1861 in A Company, 3 rd. Regiment, Missouri Volunteer Cavalry for a period of three years and I was mustered out on December 31, 1864. My muster rolls show me on special assignment "in pursuit of the enemy" on several occasions with Lieutenant Roberts, Captain Gripplet, and General Prentice. These same muster rolls show my promotions from Private to corporal, to Sgt., back to corporal "by request" and then reassigned to Sgt. The rank that I retired with.
I returned to Highland Township after the war and on October 17, 1872 I married a widow by the name of Margaret (McKee) Anderson. Margaret and her first husband George M. Anderson had five children and to our union we produced another five children. The 1880 census shows me and my family still located in Highland Township.
In 1887 you will find my family in Waitsburg, Washington Territory as farmers. Also in the 1857- 1892 Washington State Territorial Land Records we find request and certification numbers for land grants for Benjamin Blyth, J.S. Blyth, and Thomas Blyth which indicates that at least some of my fraternal family migrated to the Washington Territory with me and my family.
The 1900 census show my wife and family living in the East Lewiston, Idaho precinct and I am still working in Waitsburg, Washington.
My dear wife Margaret died here in Lewiston on March 29, 1902 at the age of 61.
The 1910 census show me living in a boarding House located in Lewiston and I died here in Lewiston on August 17, 1919 at the age of 78.
Further records show that my oldest daughter Atha died in Clarkston, Washington in 1950, 2nd daughter Lydia died in Lewiston, Idaho in 1957, 3rd daughter Barbara died in Yakima, Washington in 1967, Viola died sometime after 1941 and son Thomas death date is 5/23/1961. Alonzo, Margaret, Atha, Thomas, and Margaret's son Benjamin Anderson (son from first marriage) are all buried at Normal Cemetery side by side. It is still unknown where and when Viola died.
I hope you have enjoyed this informative narrative and I will see you all down the road.
Thank you for listening.
