St. Joseph Bond Robbers Arrested.
St. Joseph, Mo., April 14. - Enos J. Crowther, ex-city register and city attorney and present city accessor, together with a man named John Cox, late clerk for John C. Bender, pension agent, were arrested to-night on complaint of Mayor Posegate charging them with complicity in the $100,000 bond robbery. The arrest was made on information from city Marshall Ritchie, now in New York with the prisoners Scott and Irwin. The telegram stated that Irwin had given the facts that Crowther and Cox stole bonds and had given them to Scott and Irwin to sell.

THE GRIM REAPER

Garners a Sad Harvest of Humanity During the Past Week.
GALLATIN. - At her home on South Pittsburgh street, Mrs. Nancy N. Gallatin, Saturday morning at ? o'clock, February 5th, 1898. Deceased had been ailing many months before her death, which came at the end quietly and without pain. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. W. R. Warren, pastor of the Christian Church, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon and the body was laid to rest to Hill Grove Cemetery at 4 o'clock. Interment was private, only the immediate friends of the family attending. Mrs. Gallatin was born January 25, 1832, near Bethel Church in Lower Tyrone township, this county. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Newcomer. Her first husband was Christopher Slonacker, who died five years after the marriage. Ten years later, October 18, 1870, she married Abram Gallatin, who had for some years previous to the wedding been looking after interests in California. After the marriage the bride and groom removed to that State, where they resided at San Francisco, Alameda and other towns till the death of Mr. Gallatin in 1884. After this sad event Mrs. Gallatin returned to Connellsville and took up her home with her mother on South Pittsburgh street, where she remained till death. Deceased had no children. She is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Lydia McEntyer of Ohio, Clark Newcomer of Nebraska, Stewart of California, Albert of this county, Dr. G. W. Newcomer, the well known doctor of this place, Benjamin F. of Washington, Mrs. S. S. Stahl of this place, the wife of Dr. Stahl, and J. C. Newcomer, the New Haven jeweler and former burgess of that town. Mrs. Gallatin was a lady of refinement and sweet disposition. From her early days she was prominently connected with the work of the Christian Church, especially the mission work, and she has left a bequest to the home mission society.

The St. Joe Bond Steal.
Geo. M. Irwin, one of the men interested in the $100,000 bond steal in St. Joe, has made the following statement of the case:
"There is no one concerned in the robbery of the $100,000 bonds but W. W. Scott, John Cox, Enos Crowther and myself. The Gazette was quite right in asserting that the theft was not the plan nor the execution of a moment. It was the work of months. So far as I am concerned, I was not made familiar with the status of affairs until after the robbery was consummated and the bonds had left the vault in the office of City Register Ringo.
"One day I was accosted by John Cox. He said he had something to disclose to me in confidence, and having taken me aside, said:
" 'Do you know of anybody you can sell some city bonds to?'
"I reflected a moment and answered 'yes'.
" 'If you can,' said Cox, 'we've got a big thing on hand. We've got $100,000 in city bonds, and if you can sell them I know where we can get $200,000 more of the same kind.'
"I thought the matter over, and finally consented to go into it. He took me to a place where I met Enos Crowther and Bill Scott, and was told that they were the men who had the bonds. I met them frequently after that and learned all about the way in which the bonds had been procured. Crowther and Scott had taken the bonds from the register's safe, and the way they did it was in the following manner:
"Crowther one day asked Ringo for the use of his key, pretending that he wanted to open his desk in the city attorney's office. Mr. Ringo allowed him to take the whole bunch, among which was the key to the safe. Taking the key, he and Scott immediately had a cast taken of it. I believe they drew the outline of it on a piece of paper and had it made from that. At all events the first key they made was a wooden key. With this they one night entered the register's office and attempted to open the inside lock. Mr. Crowther knew the combination of the outside door and opened it without any trouble. The inside lock was closed and the key was the one in Mr. Ringo's bunch, which he carried in his pocket. They inserted the wooden key, but it broke. They left the office and abandoned the plan until they procured a metal key from the plan they had drawn. With this they opened the second door and then abstracted the bonds. These remained in Mr. Crowther's desk, in his office, for fully a week. Meanwhile the scheme was proposed to me, and I was drawn into it in the way I have stated.
"It was then arranged that Scott and I should go to New York City and negotiate the sale of the bonds. We held a number of conferences in Mr. Bender's office, sometimes at night and sometimes in the daytime; but I assure you that none save these I have mentioned had any connection with, or knowledge of, our intentions. Here we discussed the matter in all its bearings. We finally resolved to start on the 22nd of March last. The bonds were packed in a small satchel for convenience, and our arrangements were by the time mentioned fully completed. We went at night. On our way to the depot, we stopped at Jack Younger's saloon, on the corner of Fourth and Edmond streets. Crowther bought a pint of whisky in a bottle and put it in the satchel, saying to Scott as he did so:
" 'This is no time for you to drink, Scott. You must keep your wits about you in this business', or words to that effect. We then went to the depot and left for New York. When we got there we began to negotiate for the sale of the bonds without delay. After several days were spent in trying to find a man who would take them, we finally came across a broker on Nassau street who agreed to take them.
"We made all arrangements, and on Saturday a week ago, Scott and I went to turn the bonds over. Scott went in with the satchel while I remained without. I strolled leisurely up Nassau toward Broadway, when suddenly a man came and laid his hand on my shoulder and said:
" 'You are my prisoner.'
"I knew at once that it was all up, for it proved to be one of Pinkerton's detectives."

"Grandma Flint was born in Orrville in the house across the street from their church (which wasn't there at the time). I think it's at the corner of North Walnut and Church. It's definitely catty-cornered from the OLD Orrville High School. You can see the house in some photos in old Red & Whites (Orrville High Yearbooks) when they used to take photos of the band and such outside in front of the school; the house was in the background.

When Grandma Flint was older (but still single) the Gallatins lived in Orrville in the house at the corner of McGill and Paradise. Herbert Flint roomed in the house, and that's how he met your Grandma."

"Jacob Eby, his son Herbert, and Freeman Gallatin, Herbert's brother-in-law (married Freeman's sister Effie) bought three adjoining parcels of land on Kenyon Avenue. Herbert bought the piece in the middle. All three parcels were seven acres. Jacob sold his piece about 1914 to the parents of Charlie and Mrytle Wertz Keever (Jane Burhenn's family). The Keever's sold it to Grafton Hixon (daughter Irene went to school with Letha and Ruby) in 1926 who sold about half the land. Hixon's died and the land was sold to Glenn Shankle in the early 1960's. It was then sold to the Kestner's after a few years.

Herbert sold his piece to John Doubledee in about 1916 or 1917. They had three daughters, Mary, Laura, and Helen in that order. Mary married Russell Grimminger (parents of Carl and Howard). Laura married Glenn Paquelet (cousin of Dr. Charles Paquelet who currently owns the Dr. Weinrick farm) and had no children. Helen married and had a number of children. Upon the death of the Doubledee's, Mary and Russell bought out the other two sisters' portion of the property around 1950. Howard took ownership after Russell died about mid 1980's. He made remarkable improvements to the property. He sold it in 1998 to Dr. Paquelet who sold the house and part of the land to the Reeves."

"On the other side of Mom's family, the Gallatins. Grandma had several brothers whose names you have, I believe. One of them, George, was somewhat of a braggart and at one time was out of work. Apparently Grandma told him to go see Dad who was running a foundry in Massillon. It so happened Dad needed a crane operator at that time and when he asked George if he was experienced in crane operation, George replied affirmatively and proceeded to recount his vast experience, none of which turned out to be true. Dad hired him and he went up into the crane which ran the full length of the foundry interior. His first task was to go to the other end of the building, pick some castings and bring them back to another area. Although never having been in a crane before, he got it started and headed toward the destination only to realize he didn't know how to stop it! He ran it through the end of the brick building with the crane and George hanging outside. Dad laughed as he told the story but it wasn't much of a laugh at the time, I suppose."

1900 & 1910 census puts Carl's birthplace in Germany. Family lore (from Laura Hahn) says Carl was born in California. Also, Carl's younger sister, Sophia, was born in Germany, so it makes sense that he was born there too; otherwise, their mother would have had to immigrate to the US for Carl to be born in California, then return to Germany in order for Sophia to be born there.

1900 Census says he was born in Sept. 1882. CA Death Index says he was born Sept 5, 1883 and was 72 years old at time of death, which was Jan 11, 1955. The CA Death Index is inconsistent, in that if he was born in 1883, he would have been 71 at time of death, not 72. Believe birth year is 1882 (per census) and that he was 72 at time of death (CA Death Index).

A currier is a specialist in the leather processing industry. After the tanning process, the currier applies techniques of dressing, finishing and colouring to the tanned hide to make it strong, flexible and waterproof. The leather is stretched and burnished to produce a uniform thickness and suppleness, and dyeing and other chemical finishes give the leather its desired colour. After currying, the leather is then ready to pass to the fashioning trades such as saddlery . Tanning and currying were formerly separate crafts, but the functions of the tannery and curriery have usually becoming integrated in industrial production environments.
