Yesterday, 13 Jun 2017, I wrote
about 3 cousins who shared the name Elias. Today I will continue with
another 1st cousin of my great-grandfather, Nathan Elias Albertson,
who also was named Elias.
Elias Nathan was the son of one
of Sabina (Marsh) Albertson's sisters, Fanny (Marsh) Perisho, the
wife of John C. Perisho. Elias N. was the 2nd child of 9, born 12 Mar
1853 probably in Hamilton County Indiana, since the family was there
for the 1850 census. About 1855 the Perishos, as well as the
Albertsons and Marshes, moved west to Hardin County, Iowa. They were
there in time for the 1856 Iowa State Census. John was a blacksmith,
so I wonder if Elias as the oldest son helped his father with his
work. By the 1870 census John was listed as a farmer and Elias was a
worker on the farm. His mother died in 1873 and his father remarried
and Elias gained some half-siblings.
Elias himself was married 25 Oct
1880 to Emily Baldwin. The Quaker Honey Creek Monthly Meeting in
Hardin County, Iowa, has recorded 6 children for Elias and Emily,
born between 1881 and 1894. Looking at the Find A Grave entry for
Elias it appears that all of his children lived to adulthood as they
died between 1947 and 1967. Elias died 24 Jun 1916 and was buried at
Honey Creek Cemetery in Hardin County Iowa. Emily died in 1940.
An obituary appeared for Elias
Nathan Perisho in the Quaker periodical, The American Friend, 11
of 9th month 1916, page 883.
