James Nathan Todd1

M, ID# 5008, b. 5 October 1861, d. 1 May 1898
  • Scrapbook*: “James N. Todd, Esq., who has practiced law in this and adjoining counties for the past ten years, and Miss Clara V. Naudain, formerly of this county, will be married at the residence of Miss Naudain’s brother-in-law, Corbet E. Naudain, Esq., in Lansdowne, Pa., on Wednesday, February 7th.”.9
  • Obituary*: "AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR’S ILLNESS,
       "James N. Todd Dies at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore
       "A telegram on Sunday last announced the death of James Nathan Todd, a prominent member of the Caroline bar, at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore. A little over a year ago he was taken ill. His affliction, which was of the stomach, caused indigestion in its worst form, and he suffered much pain. A visit to the hospital during the latter part of April, ’97, afforded only temporary relief, and all the spring and summer he continued to grow weaker. An operation being necessary he returned to the hospital, where an eminent specialist treated him. Twice the surgeon’s knife had to be used, and from the last operation the patient derived much benefit. He returned to Denton in November, and he and his friends had strong hope that he would soon be himself again. Some weeks ago, however, the manifestations of the old disease were noticed, and Mr. Todd was again compelled to keep his room. He was again taken to the hospital, but grew rapidly worse. His condition was so weak that it was deemed inadvisable to subject him to another operation, and death came as a benison [sic] after so much suffering.
       "The deceased was the second son of the Rev. Robert W. Todd, a Methodist Episcopal minister, and a former citizen of this county. He was born near Denton on October 5th, 1861. He attended the Seminary at Felton and the Academy at Dover, and subsequently taught school in Delaware. At the April term of court, 1883, he was admitted to the Caroline bar, and has since practiced in this and other courts. He was regarded as a careful and able attorney, and had an extensive practice. He was a commissioner in chancery in this court for several year. In politics Mr. Todd was a Republican, and in 1887 was a candidate for State’s Attorney. He was defeated by Henry R. Lewis, Esq., the Democratic nominee. In August, 1885, Mr. Todd leased the American Union from the late John H. Emerson, and conducted the newspaper business for several months, being succeeded by Messrs. F. C. & H. E. Ramsdell
       "Mr. Todd was twice married, his first wife being Miss Ella Jump, a daughter of Register of Wills Robert J. Jump, and his widow was Miss Clara Naudain, of Philadelphia, and a grand-niece of United States Senator Naudain, of Delaware. Dr. Alexander Hardcastle, of this place, is an uncle. James N. Todd, Jr., aged three-and-a-half years, is the only surviving child of the deceased, two others being dead. Prof. John R. Todd, of Washington; Robert M. and George W. Todd, of New York, are brothers of the deceased, and his sisters are Mrs. W. J. Davis, of Federalsburg; Misses Grace, Mary and Alice Todd.
       "The remains were brought to Denton on Monday. Funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased on Tuesday morning, Rev. Z. H. Webster officiating. The active pall-bearers were Messrs. G. M. Russum, M. B. Stephens, W. D. Taylor, T. Pliny Fisher, W. F. Pennington, and Walter Sparklin, the members of the bar being the honorary pall-bearers."10
  • Note*: • He was from Denton, Maryland, where he and Clara resided when he died.
    • A newspaper obituary says he was born on 5 Oct 1861, but his Find A Grave memorial (and his tombstone pictured thereon) say 15 Oct 1861.)11,12,13

They thought they could divide labor better by dividing the business, and so have separated."12,13
  • Scrapbook*: • "2 COUPLES PLAN ANNIVERSARIES
       "53rd Year of Weddings Will Be Observed Christmas at Algona
       "ALGONA, Dec. 22 [1934].—Two of Algona's pioneer families will celebrate their fifty-third wedding anniversary Christmas day. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Winkle were married at the Lones Lessing home on Christmas day in 1881, by the pastor of the Baptist church. Mrs. Winkle was Ida Potter before her marriage. They have one son, Clair Winkle, who lives six miles north of Algona. Mrs. Winkle is 76 years old and Mr. Winkle is 80 years old.
       "Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Naudain were married on the same day at the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, who lived in the north part of the city, by the Rev. Mr. Good, pastor of the Free Methodist church. To this union four children were born, three are living.
       "Mr. and Mrs. Foster had lived on a farm northwest of Algona and while there Mrs. Winkle, who was then Miss Potter, taught the school. It was here that the girls became friends. Mr. Naudain and Mr. Winkle were not acquainted as were the girls, so neither of the girls told the other of their approaching marriage, expecting to give them a surprise later.
       "As Christmas in 1881 fell on Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Naudain planned to have their pictures taken on the following day. They went to Joe Nicoulin, who had the only ‘picture gallery’ in town. As they entered, they were surprised to see Mr. and Mrs. Winkle seated in the gallery ready to have their pictures taken. They then realized what had happened and since that day both families have been very close friends.
       "Both families have lived in Kossuth county since their marriage.
       "Mr. and Mrs. Winkle are celebrating the occasion with a Christmas dinner, their son and family as their guests.
       "Mrs. Naudain, however is not enjoying the best of health this winter."14
  • Obituary*: "W. E. NAUDAIN PASSED AWAY EARLY WEDNESDAY,
       "Funeral for Business Man Since 1880 to be Held on Friday at Methodist Church
       "William Eliason Naudain, 79 years and 11 months old, and a resident of Algona since 1880, died a few minutes past midnight, early Wednesday morning, after an illness of several weeks.
       "Mr. Naudain was born Jan. 26, 1860, at Monroe, Iowa, the son of Robert M. Naudain and Malinda Acklin Naudain. Until a young man of 16, Mr. Naudain lived at Monroe, and in 1880 he came to Algona. Here he met and married, on Dec. 25, 1881, Ella A. Foster, who survives him, and the family has lived here ever since.
       "Four sons were born to the couple, Earl Robert Naudain of Glendale, Calif., Vivian Ray Naudain, deceased, Vallo V. Naudain of Algona, and Glenn G. Naudain of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Earl arrived a week ago to be with his parents, and Dr. Glenn Naudain will arrive Friday morning.
       "During his business career in Algona, Mr. Naudain engaged in the dray business and the coal business, and the business is at present being operated by his son, Vallo.
       "Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at two o’clock, Dec. 22, at the Methodist church, with Rev. F. Earl Burgess officiating. Burial will be in Riverview cemetery.
       "Pallbearers will be Wes Dutton, E. R. Rising, Harold Gilmore, Ed Hough, Henry Becker and Lynn Keith."15
  • Note*: He was the twin of his brother Homer. After a boyhood spent mostly on the farm, at age 22 he moved to Algona, Iowa, operated a coal and transfer business there for thirty-five years, moved the family to California for a year, and then returned to his business in Algona.5

  • Scrapbook*: • "2 COUPLES PLAN ANNIVERSARIES
       "53rd Year of Weddings Will Be Observed Christmas at Algona
       "ALGONA, Dec. 22 [1934].—Two of Algona's pioneer families will celebrate their fifty-third wedding anniversary Christmas day. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Winkle were married at the Lones Lessing home on Christmas day in 1881, by the pastor of the Baptist church. Mrs. Winkle was Ida Potter before her marriage. They have one son, Clair Winkle, who lives six miles north of Algona. Mrs. Winkle is 76 years old and Mr. Winkle is 80 years old.
       "Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Naudain were married on the same day at the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, who lived in the north part of the city, by the Rev. Mr. Good, pastor of the Free Methodist church. To this union four children were born, three are living.
       "Mr. and Mrs. Foster had lived on a farm northwest of Algona and while there Mrs. Winkle, who was then Miss Potter, taught the school. It was here that the girls became friends. Mr. Naudain and Mr. Winkle were not acquainted as were the girls, so neither of the girls told the other of their approaching marriage, expecting to give them a surprise later.
       "As Christmas in 1881 fell on Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Naudain planned to have their pictures taken on the following day. They went to Joe Nicoulin, who had the only ‘picture gallery’ in town. As they entered, they were surprised to see Mr. and Mrs. Winkle seated in the gallery ready to have their pictures taken. They then realized what had happened and since that day both families have been very close friends.
       "Both families have lived in Kossuth county since their marriage.
       "Mr. and Mrs. Winkle are celebrating the occasion with a Christmas dinner, their son and family as their guests.
       "Mrs. Naudain, however is not enjoying the best of health this winter."11
  • Obituary*: "Ella Naudain Dies; Services Set Thursday
       "Funeral services for Ella Foster Naudain, 92, a resident of Algona for 55 years, will be held at her home at 303 Elm Street at 2 p.m. Thursday.
       "Rev. G. G. Hallauer will officiate and Richardson’s are in charge of the arrangements.
       "Mrs. Naudain died Monday evening.
       "Ella Amanda Foster was born February 7, 1862, at Schenectady, N. Y., the daughter of Tilden Steven Foster and Betsy Etherington, both of London, England.
       "The family moved from New York to Illinois in 1868 and came by covered wagon to Algona in the fall of 1869 where they lived first in a house on North Jones St. and then moved to a claim which later was the town site of Lone Rock.
       "Ella married William Elliason Naudain on Christmas Day, 1881 at Algona, and four sons were born to the couple. Three, Earl of Tujunga, Calif., Vallo of Algona, and Dr. Glenn of Rock Hill, South Carolina, survive. The fourth, Vivian R., died in 1914. Mr. Naudain lived for 77 years on Elm Street in Algona. She was the last member of a family of 11 sisters and three brothers, and a pioneer in this area."12
  • Note*: She came as a child from New York to Illinois in 1868 and on to Algona, Iowa by covered wagon in the fall of 1869. She lived on Elm Street in Algona for seventy-seven years.3

Katharine Naudain

F, ID# 5049, b. 2 August 1879, d. 1948
  • Scrapbook*: "Forest Presbyterian Church was the scene of a beautiful and happy event on Tuesday afternoon, the celebration of the marriage of Miss Katherine Naudain, daughter of Mrs. Kate Naudain, to Mr. Oscar Glenn Goodhand, of New York City. No more beautiful wedding was ever witnessed here, and of all the fair brides who have plighted their troth at this altar, none were fairer or lovelier than the bride of Tuesday.
       "The Church was beautifully trimmed with masses of daisies and ferns, interspersed with the perfume of June roses, and the scene was one of great beauty. The bride wore a handsome white silk net, trimmed with silk lace and roses made of chiffon. She had no lady attendants, being given away by her uncle, Mr. Corbit Naudain, of Melrose, Pa. Prof. George Maris, of Wilmington, presided at the organ. The groom was attended by Mr. Luther Gadd, of New York. The ushers were Messrs. Emerson Polk, of Pocomoke City, Md; Dr. Foster Sudler, of Sudlersville, Md; S. Goodhand, of Baltimore, brother of the groom; L. W. Sharretts, of Mew York; Judge Edwin R. Cochran and William Brady, of this town. The young couple took their departure north on the 6.00 P. M. train for a trip to Niagara Falls and the Thousand Islands. They will reside in New York City."12
