Notes for Eden Lotspeich: Copied from Obituary notices cut from the paper and pasted into the front and back covers of the old family Bible by Gladys Lotspeich Blue. Eden Lotspeich was born in Madison Co., Ohio September 9, 1810; died at Yarmouth, Iowa, May 22. His father was the Rev. Ralph Lotspeich, with whom Peter Cartwright traveled his first work. Eden, when just entering his legal manhood attended a camp meeting at Royalton, Ohio, where under the earnest preaching of those early camp-meetings he was converted and joined the M. E. church. On Dec. 4, 1834 he married Malinda Caldwell. In 1835 he removed to Sagamon Co., Illinois, where he lived eleven years, at which time he removed to Des Moines Co., Iowa. Two children fell asleep in Christ in Illinois. Nine sons and daughters and the wife of his youth remain; all trusting Jesus. He was an earnest Christian, and it required more than ordinary storm to keep him from church. He told the writer: "One thing I have constantly kept before the Lord in prayer; that I might be spared to see my children all grown and settled in life." This was granted the good man. His sickness was of little more than a years duration, but was borne wtih Christian patience and resignation. Near the close of life in answer to the question, "Is Jesus precious to you?" he answered, "Oh yes." His remains were followed to the tomb by a very large number of people all feeling that they have lost a true friend. Many of the preachers of the Iowa Conference have been fed, clothed and sheltered by this man of God. For 53 years he lived a consistent Christian life, and epistle of Christ know and read of all men. |

Notes for Rezinand Lotspeich: Copied from, obituary notices cut from the paper and pasted into the front and back covers of the old fanily Bible by Gladys Lotspeich Blue. Rezin Lotspeich died September 10, at the residence of his son-in-law, J. W. Robinson, near Pleasant Hill, aged 70 years. The deceased was an old resident of this township, moving here from Ohio in 1858. He as the father of the late Dr. J. R. Lospeich, and Mrs. C. S. Ashby of Holden. The remains were brought on the cars to Garden City, and from there by privant convenance to the cemetery at Grant where it was his wish to be lain beside his wife who preceeded him by three years to the Land of the Leaf. After the death of his wife Mr. Lotspeich left the old home moving to Holden with his daughter, Mrs. Ashby, where shortly afterward he was stricken with paralysis, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. He had been growing more and more helpless for many months and his death but releases the tired spirit from the thralling bondage of affliction. Mr. Lotspeich was an earnest and devoted member of the Methodist church and during all the cares of a busy life never neglected his daily devotions or the conscientious excerise of religion in practical life. We, who knew him well in the olden time-knew him as a neighbor and citizen during "the time that tried men"s souls," knew him also as the father of a bright and happly family; can testify to the excellence of that life in all its phases. How often have we sat by his genial fireside enjoying the most perfect fruition of an ideal home. But the autations of Time have scattered the members of that family, and the fire-light now falls on other faces. The dear old home so hallowed by pleasant associations seem desolate, and, like a tomb, speaks to us of former life for ah friends, "The place thereof knoweth you no more." Eldorado Rezin Lotspeich died September 10, 1885 at the residence, near Pleasant Hill, Mo. Thus it becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of another one Johnson county's oldest and most respected citizens. Mr. Lotspeich was stricken with paralysis in January 1883, since that time has been a helpless invalid, suffering all the attending ills of the disease. He was born Sept. 9, 1810 near Lancsater, Fairfield Co., Ohio. His father was the Rev. Ralph Lotspeich, one of Ohio's pioneer preachers, with who Peter Cartwright travelled his first circuit, and as might be supposed the subject of this sketch was a devoted Methodist and was for over sixty years a member of that church. He loved the service of Christ, and lived the christianity he professed, and his life was a living monument of his own true worth, the precious memory of which will be cherished in many hearts. He was married in his 24th year to Elizabeth Thomas, in Athens, Ohio, by the Rev. Jacob Young. All of their five children still survive them except Dr. J. R. Lotspeich who died in this place nearly seven years ago. Mr. Lotspeich had a twin brother, a resident of Iowa, who lived to be over 73 years old. He was laid to rest in Grant Cemetery in Cass Co., Mo. Sept 11, 1885, by the side of his wife whom he married exactly 50 years before. At some time in the near future there will be a memorial service held in the M.E. church of this place to which he held his membership. |

Notes for Ralph Lotspeich: From History of Greene Count, MO, 1883 page 712 In August, 1863, a party of bushwhackers, supposed to be under the command of one Captain Lotspeich, were attacked on the Ralph Lotspeich farm, in this township, by Capt. S. H. Julian and about 30 Home Guards, or militia. The bushwhackers unmber 17, and were encamped in a dense thicket unconscious of danger. Capt. Julian surrounded the thicket and he and three of his men crawled in to reconnoiter. The bushwhackers were startled and began mounting their horses in an effort to escape. The captain and his three men opened fire with their pistols. The bushwhackers amd a dash through the thicket, and as they came out were greeted with a volley from the Home Guards, who were waiting for them. This fire was returned, but noe of the Home Guards were hit, and perhaps the bushwhackers escaped as well, although an uncorroborated story was current for some time that two weeks after the fight two newly-made graves were found in the timber near where the fight took place. The same party of guerrillas encountered by Capt. Julian were charged with having killed Solomon Daniels the night before. Julian and his men had followed their trail from Daniels' residence to their emcampment in the thicket. As has been stated, Mr. Daniels was an inoffensive Union man, and enjoyed the esteem and confidence of his neighbors. The bushwackers went to his home late one night to get his horses, and hearing a noise Mr. Daniels went out to see what was the matter, when he was shot down dead by the murderous miscreant, who then took away all of his horses that were of any value. |
