Frederick K. Dress1

Family
ChartsDescendants of Robert Heaton of Yorkshire, The Immigrant
Birth*Frederick K. Dress was born in Germany.2 
Marriage*14 February 1871He may have married, as her second husband, Matilda (Heaton) Wheatley, daughter of John Heaton and Rocceana Kensler, on 14 February 1871 in St. Louis, Missouri. His surname is unclear to us. It appears to read, and was transcribed, as "Dress" in their marriage record, and the surname of the two young boys enumerated as grandsons of Matilda (Heaton) Wheatley's parents in 1880 was spelled "Deer". We have attached them here as possible sons of Matilda and Frederick, although we have no proof to support either the parents of the boys, Henry and Osie Deer, or that the Mathilda Wheatley in the marriage was actually our Matilda (Heaton) Wheatley.1,2

He and Nannie had been married for about four years. Nannie had given birth to one child and he was living. Three children were enumerated with the couple in 1900. Their son, Maurice, spelled "Morris" by the census taker, was 3 years old, and Riley's two older children from his first marriage, Annie and Thomas, were ages 9 and 8 years, respectively. Neither of the two older children had attended school within the census year. Riley's younger son George from his first marriage was enumerated with his paternal grandparents, Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy in Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky. George was 6 years old.2 
Census US 1910*27 April 1910Nannie and William R. Eudy were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 27 April 1910 in Justice Precinct 1, Mitchell County, Texas. William was 39 years of age and worked as a laborer doing odd jobs, and Nannie was 33 years of age.

Eudy, at 313 E. 21st Street, Cisco, Eastland County, Texas. William was 58 years of age and worked as a lineman for the telephone company, and Nannie was 53 years of age.6 
(Mother) Arrested and Charged13 November 1938Her son J. M., also known as Pete, surrendered to police after his friends, L. L. Powell, 25, and Rex Holt, 24, both residents of Cisco, were arrested on 13 November 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas, and charged with automobile theft and armed robbery of a service station. Pete Eudy had left the car a few minutes before Powell and Holt were arrested and knew he was being sought in connection with the crime. The two men initially in custody readily admitted their part in the robbery, blaming whisky for their complicity. The men had stolen the car in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas and driven it to Stamford, in Jones County, Texas where they committed the robbery, then were apprehended with the car in Fort Worth.7,8,9,10,11 
(Mother) Criminal Conviction30 January 1939At her son's trial on 30 January 1939 in District Court, Anson, Jones County, Texas, J. M. Eudy, 42, pleaded guilty to the 13 November armed robbery of a filling station in west Stamford and blamed his entanglement with the law on his two companions. Eudy told the court he had a wife and seven children and had understood he was accepting a ride to Fort Worth when he left his home with Rexford Holt and L. L. Powell. Those two men, the newspaper wrote, were currently in jail in default of bond, pending trial in connection with the same robbery.

Subsequently, Eudy testified, he was informed the automobile in which he rode was stolen. He said his companions told him they were bound not for Fort Worth but El Paso, where a market assertedly awaited the car. Eudy said they drove a circuitous route to Stamford where a filing station was robbed, and then fled, but not to El Paso. The trio drove to Oklahoma City, failed to sell the automobile because they were without proper papers, then finally went to Fort Worth. He said he left his companions only 15 minutes before their arrest and later surrendered "to face the music."

The jury, which was required in a trial on a capital offense even when the plea was guilty, sentenced Eudy to five years in state prison.7,8,9,10,11

Adna Duckworth1

b. 23 November 1866, d. 28 October 1945
Family
Birth*23 November 1866Adna Duckworth was born on 23 November 1866 in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana.2 
Marriage*13 October 1892He married first Minnie Harding, daughter of Leonard Harding and Anna Rachel Garriott, on 13 October 1892 in Bartholomew County, Indiana.3 
(Husband) DeathAdna became a widower when Minnie (Harding) Duckworth died not very long after their marriage.2 
Marriage*1895He married second, as her second husband, Eliza Ellen (Patrick) Tinch about 1895.4,2 
(Unrelated) Census US 192012 January 1920Adna was enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 12 January 1920 in the household of Anna E. and Charles Emmett Hulce at 55½ North Jefferson Avenue, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. Adna was 53 years of age, married, and was working for wages as a stock clerk in an aeroplane factory. His wife, Eliza E. Duckworth, was enumerated as the head of her household in Brown, Montgomery County, Indiana. She was 49 years of age, married, reported no occupation, and owned her home free of mortgage. Two of the couple's children were enumerated with Eliza in Montgomery County. Eugene was 19 years old, single, and worked as a salaried salesman for an oil company; and Geneva was 12 years old and had attended school within the census year. Adna, and everyone in Elliza's household, was able to read, write, and to speak English. We have not determined Adna's relationship to anyone in the Hulce household in 1920 and suspect he may have been a boarder. We have learned, however, that in 1927, the widower Adna would marry Charles's widow, Anna E. Hulce. The census taker recorded Adna as Hulce's "son-in-law" on the 1920 census, and we feel fairly certain that was not accurate.5 
(Husband) Death20 October 1924Adna became a widower for the second time when Eliza E. Duckworth died on 20 October 1924 at age 53.4 
Marriage*17 November 1927He married third Anna Ellen Atterbury, daughter of Charles W. Atterbury and Susan Huntsinger, on 17 November 1927.1,2 
Death*28 October 1945He died about eight months after his wife at age 78, on 28 October 1945, in Greensburg, Decatur County, Indiana,2 
Burial* and was buried with his third wife in Mount Aerie Cemetery, Letts, Decatur County, Indiana.2
