Biography

To the Pursuit and love History and Trivia

For those that were born, lived and died in the mid to late 19th Century--it was neither--easy or safe in America. Our pioneering families ate what they grew, shot, caught or butchered themselves (fast food was considered "farm to table"). They grew their own vegetables, butchered their own meat, canned their own jams & vegetables. They might experience disease without cures, Indian attacks, droughts, fires, poverty, wars, family members lost or traumatically injured during war. He would live through the reconstruction era (1865-1877), market revolution (early 1800's-1900's), the Industrial Revolution (inventions would be patented that made a women's homelife easier), and live during the Great Depression of 1929 (1929-1939). His immediate family or relatives would have been veterans (as a Veteran, I thank all those that served on the field and off the field) of the Civil War (1861-1865), WWI (1914-1919) and he would pass the year WWII started (1939-1945) and John was a proud member of Sons of the American Revolution. Families were dying from apoplexy, diphtheria (alias bladder in throat), dropsy, Inanition (malnutrition), influenza, milk sickness, puerperal fever, rickets, ship fever or epidemic typhus, TB, tetanus, typhoid fever, whooping cough and yellow fever (alias American plague & Bronze John). During John's lifetime, there were 17 Presidents (3 would be assassinated: Lincoln 1865, Garfield 1881 & McKinley 1901). Laws/Acts would eventually be passed that made living in America easier/happier (at least on paper), 14th Amendment (defines Citizenship & post civil war issues), Emancipation Act of 1862 (Slavery), Homestead Act of 1862 (home ownership), and 18th Amendment (prohibits sale of alcohol in 1919), repealed in 1933)
