PER GERTRUDE THOMAS MARTIN.
DIED AT AGE 16.
CENSUS: The James Edington family is found in the 1860 Vigo County Ind census
page _____ dwelling 264 family 264. Occupation of James is farm laborer. He
shows no real estate value, and only $100 in personal property. He was born in
Virginia. The complete listing follows:James Edington age 43 M Farm Lab Va
Nancy Edington age 42 F Farm Lab Ind
Emily Edington age 18 F Farm Lab Ind
George Edington age 15 M Farm Lab Ind
Joseph Edington age 12 M Ind
Rily Edington age 8 M Ind
Edward Edington age 3 M Ind
Alonz Edington age 1 M IndJust two households away (family number 266/266), in the family of John
Bidman, is found:
John Bidman age 25 M Farm Lab Ky
Angeline Bidman age 20 F Farm Lab Alabama
Nancy Bidman age 4 F Alabama
Daniel Edington age 19 M Farm Lab IllThese facts seem to suggest that Daniel Edington could be the oldest son of
James and Nancy Edington, just two houses away. Daniel is one year older than
Emily, producing no conflict in the ages of the children. Note however that
Daniel was born in Illinois, while Nancy and the Edington children were all
born in Indiana. This may not preclude Daniel's inclusion in the James and
Nancy family since Terre Haute is very close to the state line between Illinois
and Indiana. This could also be the census takers error. More work needs to be
done on this, but for now, given the prepondrance of evidence, I will include
Daniel as the oldest son of James and Nancy Edington.CENSUS: The James/Nancy Edington family is found in the 1850 census of Edgar
County, Illinois. Just two houses away is the family of William and Mary
Edington. The James Ethington family is as follows:James Ethington age 33 Farmer b. Henry, Va (yes, Henry, Va.)
Nancy Ethington 32 b. Floyd, Ind
Mary J. Ethington 13 b. Vigo, Ind
Melisa Ethington 11 b. Edgar, Ill
Daniel Ethington 10 b. Edgar, Ill
Emily Ethington 8 b. Edgar, Ill
George W. Ethington 6 b. Edgar, Ill
Joseph Ethington 3 b. Edgar, Ill
Margaret I. Ethington 1 b. Edgar, IllFrom this it is seen that Daniel, as well as Mary J., and Melisa are members
of this family. The reasoning based on the 1860 census was correct.
This also
shows the migration pattern of the family from 1833 (the birth of Melisa),
through 1849 (the birth of Margaret).CENSUS: In the 1870 census of Vigo County Ind we find four of the sons of
James and Nancy living with a James and Nancy Shoemaker. The age of Nancy
Shoemaker is the same age that Nancy Ethington would have been in 1870. Since
James Edington died in 1861, I think we can safely assume that Nancy remarried
to James Shoemaker, and the boys lived with her and her new husband.
The
listing is as follows (page 369):Shoemaker, James age 62 Farmer b. Ky
Shoemaker, Nancy age 52 b. Ind
Etherton, Riley age 18 b. Ind
Etherton, George age 25 b. Ind
Etherton, Edward age 14 b. Ind
Etherton, Alonzo age 11 b. IndEvidence for James and Nancy Edington as parents of Joseph Edington, husband
of Annie Hall:1. Gertrude Thomas recalls that Joseph had a brother named "Lon",
which was
short for "Alonzo". This is a very unusual name, and we find both a Joseph and
an Alonzo in the James/Nancy family.2. The age of Joseph in the James/Nancy family is consistent with the
assumed age of Joseph and his known activities.3. The James/Nancy family is in the same county where Joseph married and was
active.4. Joseph is married to Annie Hall at about the same time as the other
children of James and Nancy are marrying, all in Vigo county.5. Riley, Edward, Jospeh, and Lon each spelled their surname ETHINGTON in
later years. See notes for Jospeh for example of change from ED..., to
EDTH..., to ETH...Other marriages in Vigo Co Ind that should be identified further are:

Joseph Ethington to Low Gilkey 8 Feb 1878 v 7 p 332See notes for son Willis Ethington for proof of James E. Ethington's father and
children.A James E. Ethington is buried in Vigo County Woodlawn Cemetary showning date
of burial as 24 Jan 1886. If this is the same man, this conflicts with the
death date of 1861 given in the Willis Ethington biography.Deed:

It appears that Daniel could be the son of James and Nancy Edington, living

them. Probably "farmed out" to the Bidmans. Will be included in the James/Nancy family until proven otherwise. See notes for James Edington

From "Greater Terre Haute and Vigo County" by C.C. Oakey The Lewis Publishing
Company 1908 Chicago Ill (GS film # 934,922):Terre Haute mumbers among her native sons Willis A. Ethington, the present
secretary of its board of education and well known in its real estate and fire
insurance circles, with offices at 421 1/2 Wabash avenue. The family trace
their ancestry to the Blue Grass state of Kentucky, the birthplace of James
Ethington, who moved from there to Indiana and resided in Fayette township of
Vigo county untio he removed to a farm near Paris, Illinois, dying there in
1871, at the age of ninty-six years. His son, James E. Ethington, was born in
the old home in Kentucky, and coming to Vigo county, became one of the earliest
residents of Terre Haute, where as a brick mason he worked on many of the
early buildings of this city. He died here in 1861. His wife bore the maiden
name of Nancy M. Leek, and also claimed Kentucky as the state of her nativity.
It was in that state also that she became the wife of James E.
Ethington,
coming with him to Terre Haute, and she died in 1873.In their home in this city, in what is now the first ward, Willis A. Ethington was born April 24, 1859, and after completing his education in the
public schools he secured employment in the wheel works. In 1879 he enlisted
in the Regular army, in which he served for five years and was discharged in
Texas. He then returned to his home here and accepted the position of foreman
with the wheel works, but resigned that office after fifteen years to become a
bailiff under Judge Henry, of the superior court, and was reappointed by Judge
Stimson, of the same court. He served as bailiff until the 1st of January,
1906, and then entered the field of business as a real estate and fire insurance dealer, representing the North British and Mercantile Insurance
companies, of London and Edinbourgh. He was elected to the city school board
at the regular session of Jun 4, 1907, taking the oath of office on the 2nd of
August following, and he was made the secretary of the board. Mr.
Ethington is
a member of the fraternal order of Maccabees, the National Aid Society, the
Knights and Ladies of Honor and the HOme Defenders, No. 2, and has held offices
in all of the societies.On the 6th of September, 1884, he married Miss Julia Sidenstick, born at
Xeniz, Ohio, and a daughter of David Sidenstick, residing in Terre Haute.
Their children are: Ernest L., born June 24, 1885; Ethel, born August 1,
1887; Inez, born March 30 1897; and Clyde, born September 14, 1894.(end quote).
Telephone conversation 26 Feb 1990 with Margaret Jane Henning Plew, daughter
of Lillie Ethington and granddaughter of Joseph Ethington: Margaret Jane
recalls that her mother was a first cousin to Inez, daughter of Willis.
Lillie would referr to Inez's mother (Julia Sidenstick Ethington) as "Aunt
Julia". This would mean that Lillie's father, Joseph, and Inez's father, Willis,
were brothers, and both sons of the James E. Ethington and grandsons of the
James Ethington mentioned in the above article.Given the above, several inconsistencies in the biography are apparent. they
are:1. James E. Ethington is noted as having been born in "The old home inKentucky". Yet on the 1860 Vigo County census, James says he was born in
Virginia.2. The wife of James E. Ethington, Nancy (Leeks) Ethington, is noted as
having been born in Kentucky. Yet, on the 1860 Vigo County census states that
she was born in Indiana.Per Gertrude Thomas Martin, Annie Hall Ethington told her that Lon Ethington
was 1 year old when her husband, Joseph Ethington died. Lon was age 29 in
1920, so born in about 1891, so Joseph Ethington died in 1892/1893.
Per James
William Ethington, his grandfather Joseph Ethington died in 1893.CENSUS: 1860 Vigo Co IN DW 264 line 29 age 1.

Morrison. See Bullett Co Ky marriages GS Film #482,691, page 110.
There is noknown connection between the Bullett Co Ky Alonzo Etherton, and the Vigo Co Ind
Alonz Ethington. They are about 15 years apart in age.In the 1907 Terre Haute Polk City directory, a Willis A. Ethington (real estate
and insurance) is shown at 1910 N 11th st. Gertrude Martin recalls this as
being the address of Lon Ethington. A biography on Willis Ethington (GS film #
934,922 page 608) says that he (Willis) was the son of James and Nancy Ethington. This indicates that Willis could be another brother of Joseph, Lon,
Riley, etc. Need to look at the 1870 Vigo census to see if Willis is a later
son of James and Nancy.4 Mar 1990
Note that marriage license for Lon Ethington shows wife as Julia Sidenstick.
The Biography for Willis A. Ethington states that he married Julia Sidenstick. This is conclusive proof that "Lon" (short for Alonzo) Ethington is
the same person as Willis A. Ethington. This family record will be changed
accordingly.Terre Haurt Polk City Dir 1918 page 278:
Willis A and Julia Ethington supt State Free Emp Office h 1910 n 11th.James A. Ethington, a great grandson of Willis Alonzo Ethington, submitted a
family group sheet and pedigree chart in about 1980 to Pat Beadle.
This was
found in Pat's correspondance in August 1990 by HE.In a letter dated 28 Jun 1992, James Alonzo Ethington states that
"... my great grandfather Willis Alonzo Ethington (Also known as William;
Lon; Alonzo; W.A.; Alonz; and Lawrence (!)."See RIN 10888 -- possible relative.
Per Grandson James A. Ethington, birth date was 24 Jun 1884. This comes from
his marriage certificate.Birthdate is given as 24 Jun 1885 in biography of Willis A. Ethington.
Letter from James Alonzo Ethington dated 28 Jun 1992:
"I'm now in the process of trying to learn the date of my grandfather's
death. He was Ernest Leigh (not Lee) Ethington, born 24 Jun 1884 in Terre
Haute, Ind. and died in Indianapolis sometime after 1940 (as per date noted on
a snapshot of him)."Census:
An Ernest L. Ethington appears in the 1920 Soundex for IN. He is living in
Indianapolis, and is 35 years old. That would place his birth in 1885, the
same as Ernest Leigh - 5575. However, the wife is listed as "Helen L.", while
Ernest Leigh-5575 is married to Edna Akers in 1904. With 3 points of support
for this being the same man
1. Ernest L. Ethington - Ernest Leigh Ethington
2. Birth year 1885 - born 1885
3. Living in Indianapolis - lived in IndianapolisI will assume this to be the same man, and will add Helen L. as wife until
proof to the contrary. Need to inspect the actual census record in addition to
this soundex record.
Per grandson James A. Ethington, Edna Akers Ethington was buried in the County
Cemetery, somewhere south of Terre Haute.Per Birth Cert. shows father: E.L. Ethington, and mother: Edna Lester.

The Terre Haute Express
21 January, 1886Riley or "Penny" Ethington, pipe fitter, scalded, burned and cut. His injuries are exceedingly painful, and he may not recover. He lives at 619 South First Street, near the distillery. His head and face are badly cut up and his body is bruised from head to foot. He is a married man with a wife and one child. He has been in the employ of the distillery about five years. This is the second explosing in which he has fared badly, as he was almost killed in the last explosion. Most of today he has been in an unconscious condition.
... The fifth victim to yield up his life was Riley Ethington at ten minutes before 8 o'clock this morning. He died at his home at 619 south First Street. He rested easy and was conscious the first part of the night, but after that he became restless, and at 5 o'clock refused to take his medicine, which was being adminstered by his brother. His right leg was broken above the knee and his kness was mashed. His face was scalded and slightly bruised. He also received some internal injuries. He held a position as pitpe-fitter and was about eleven feet from the battery that exploded. He was 35 years of age and was born in Sugar Creek township He is a son of James and Nancy Ethington, who have lived in this county most of their life. James EThington, his father, came to this country from Kentucky when a boy.
Ethington has four brothers. Goerge, Joe, Edward and Lawrence. All are now living in this city with the exception of George , who is in the southern part of the state.
Ethington had been working at the distillery for the past6 seven years. Previous to that time he had been working on his father's farm in Sugar Creek ttownship.
On September 9th, 1880, six weeks befgore the second explosion, he was severely scaled by steam which laid him up for quite a while and which left him disabled for life. In May, 1882 he was married to Miss Sarah Cook. Two children, one three years old and the other four months old, were born to them and are now living. He was always highly thoughnt by the emloyers.

The Distillery the Scene of the Accident
Four Employes Kiled, Two of them instantly
A long list of injured, some fatally
Removing the remains from under the Debries
The Terre Haute Distillery was the scene of a terrible disaster, between 9:30 and 10 o'clock yesterday morning The second boiler in battery No 1. erxploded causing the death of two men and injuuring a number of others, some fatally.The explosion was heard throughout the city, shaking buildings and reattling windows. The fire alarm was turned in, and the department responded promply.
When the firemen arrived at the scene dense columns of smoke was [sic] coming from the ruins, and it was almost impossible for the men to see to work. Several thousand people were on the grounds Among them were those who had relatives working about the distillery. It was a distressing sight to see wives searching for their husbands, children for fathers and brothers for brothers. It was some time before the extent of the disaster could be acertained.
Men were brought from the ruins charred and burned, more dead than alive. The firemen turned several streams on the burning debris. The water, coming in contact with the hot bricks and burning timbers, sent clouds of steam into the air and that combined with the wind would blow the ... away, disclosing an awful sight. The large stack on the north fell, the brickwork scattering about, and the iron protion falling against the main building of the distillery, knocking a portion of the wall in and smaching in a portio of the roof...
...It was near noon before what was thought to be a correct list of the killed and injured could be made out. It was reported by Superintendent Kingston to be as follows:
George Otterman, ash-sheeler, killed.
Frank McNelis, water gauger, killed.
Charles Weker, killed
Frank Buckingham, killed.Not fatally:

Addition of William Eddington to James Ethington family:
In the 1850 census, Two houses away, lives James Ethington (wife Nancy), known son of James Ethington and Martha Blackburn. James is 33, born 1817, William is 43, born 1807. Wiliam was born in Bedford County Virginia, James was born in Henry County Virginia. Bedford and Henry Counties are separated only by Franklin County. Rebecca McAdams, relationship unknown but living with William Eddington, was born in Henry County Virginia, same as James. Both men have children born in Vigo County Indiana, and William is living there in 1860. Based on the concurrent movements, the ages, and the general pattern of migration for these two men, will conclude that they are brothers, and sons of James Ethington and wife Margaret (Peggy etc.) Blackburn.
