Eliza Ann Gee1,2

b. 1821
Family
Birth*1821Eliza Ann Gee was born about 1821 in Ohio.3 
Marriage*12 February 1840She married first Jacob A. Calhoun on 12 February 1840 in Gallia County, Ohio. They were married by Jacob Ward, Minister of the Gospel.2 
Relationship Note*We believe that either William DeWitt or Eliza Ann (Gee) Calhoun DeWitt was Joseph DeWitt's biological parent, and that the other was his stepparent. Joseph was born about four years before William and Eliza Ann married. While we have found no evidence that William was married before his marriage to Eliza Ann, that doesn't mean he wasn't. And, although we do know that Eliza Ann was married to Jacob Calhoun in 1840, we don't know if they had any children. Additionally, it was not uncommon for the head of the household's surname to be given, by census takers, to all of the children in his household, whether a child was his biological or step child. We would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who can tell us more about Joseph's parentage, and also what happened to him after his enumeration on the 1850 census.4 
Marriage*31 March 1846She married second William DeWitt on 31 March 1846 in Meigs County, Ohio. They were married by a Justice of the Peace.1,5 
Census US 1850*4 September 1850Ann and William DeWitt were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 4 September 1850 in Salem, Meigs County, Ohio. William was 42 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $600, and Eliza Ann was 30 years of age. Three children were enumerated with them in 1850. Joseph was 8 years old, Nancy was age 3, and baby Eliza was one year old.4 
Census State IA 1856*1856Ann and William DeWitt were listed on the Iowa State census for 1856 in Locust Grove, Jefferson County, Iowa. William was 49 years of age and a farmer, and Eliza was 37 years of age. Five children were listed with the couple in 1856. Nancy J. was 10 years old; Elisha and Francis M. were ages 8 and 6 years, respectively; Phoebe was age 2; and William H. was an infant.6 
Census US 1860*7 July 1860Eliza Ann and William DeWitt were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 7 July 1860 in Locust Grove, Jefferson County, Ohio. William was 53 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $50 and a personal estate valued at $100, and Eliza Ann was 39 years of age. Seven children were enumerated with them in 1860. Nancy J., Clark, Francis and Sibyl were ages 13, 12, 9 and 6 years, respectively, and had all attended school within the census year; Henry and Orlando were ages 4 and 2 years, respectively; and baby Augusta was two months old.3 
Census US 1870*30 June 1870Ann and William DeWitt were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 30 June 1870 in Batavia, Jefferson County, Iowa. William was 63 years of age, worked as a day laborer and had real estate valued at $200. and Ann was 49 years of age and keeping house. Five children were enumerated with them in 1870. Clark and Francis were ages 21 and 18 years, respectively, and worked as farm laborers; Sibyl was 16 years old and going to school; and Henry and Orlando were ages 14 and 12 years, respectively.7 
(Wife) Deathbefore June 1880Eliza Ann became a widow when William DeWitt died before June 1880, probably in his mid to late 60s or early 70s.8 
Census US 1880*14 June 1880Eliza A. DeWitt was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1880 census taken on 14 June 1880 on 4th Street, Batavia, Jefferson County, Iowa. She was 59 years of age, had been widowed, and was keeping house. Her son, Frank, who was single, 28 years of age and worked as a laborer, was enumerated with her.8

(Brother-in-Law) MurderThe murder of Oscar G. Montgomery was a major story in the Louisville newspapers for several months. Henry Geiger and his wife, Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, both testified at the trial, as did the accused, John Kinslow, and another of his sisters, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis. The front page of The Courier-Journal on Monday, 2 May 1932 shouted news of the killing with a series of cascading headlines over the details of the event. Our transcriptions of that first story, and three later ones, follow:


The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, Monday, 2 May 1932, page 1

Foreman Found Stabbed Fatally

Police Learn of Quarrel; Man Sought

Woman Finds Body in Home, on Bed Beside Her Sleeping Husband

Five Inch Blade Used

Oscar Montgomery, Factory Employee, Killed at House of Fellow Worker


Stabbed twice in the throat with a kitchen knife, Oscar G. Montgomery, 49 years old, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, a factory foreman, was found dead at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street. Geiger and Montgomery were fellow employees.

After an investigation, detectives flashed teletype orders for the arrest of John Kinslow, Geiger’s brother-in-law. Kinslow, who lives at the Geiger home, was not there when the body was found. The teletype bulletin specified that Kinslow was wanted on a murder charge. He and Montgomery had quarreled, the detectives learned.

Woman Finds Body

Gieger was asleep when Montgomery’s body was found by Mrs. Gieger on her return from a visit in the neighborhood. Her husband was on the bed where the body was lying.

Failing in an attempt to waken Geiger, Mrs. Geiger drove to the home of some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and asked for help. Mr. Perkins was thought to be at the home of Frank Pousardien, 545 Wainwright Street. Mrs. Perkins went there with Mrs. Geiger. Mr. Perkins was not there, but Mr. and Mrs. Pousardien and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Phelps, 1013 South Floyd Street, who were visiting the Pousardiens, accompanied Mrs. Geiger to her home.

Mr. Phelps awakened Geiger. Police were told he exclaimed, “My God, what has happened?” and then collapsed. He was soon revived.

Pair Quarreled, Claim

The detectives established that Kinslow had spoken harshly to his sister, Mrs. Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, Sunday afternoon in the presence of Montgomery who reprimanded him. Geiger told the police he did not attach any importance to the quarrel.

Geiger, who had been in Appleton, Wisconsin settling the estate of his father, and who had returned by motor, was tired and sleepy from the trip, and had gone to sleep, he said. He admitted he had had some liquor. No charge was placed against him.

Montgomery’s widow, Mrs. Anna Montgomery said her husband had taken her and their two sons, Charles Montgomery and Gerald Montgomery, for an automobile drive Sunday afternoon but Mr. Montgomery seemed to have been drinking. Mrs. Montgomery took the children and left the car.

Near Montgomery’s left shoulder was the knife believed to have been used to inflict the wounds. It is a kitchen knife with a blade about five inches long.

Jugular Vein Cut

Dr. Roy L. Carter, Coroner, said one of the stab wounds severed the jugular vein.

Montgomery was a native of Jasper, Indiana. Besides his wife and two sons, he is survived by another son, Edwin Montgomery, and three daughters, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Esther Montgomery, and Mrs. Mildred Jenne.

Alleged Knife Killer is Nabbed

Prisoner is Returned to Louisville

Kinslow is Silent After He is Brought Here by Detectives

Accused of Murder

Arrested in Glasgow in Slaying of Oscar Montgomery


John Kinslow, 34 years old, who lives near Glasgow, Kentucky, was arrested on the street in Glasgow at Monday afternoon 4:30 o’clock at the request of Louisville police, who believe he killed Oscar Montgomery, 49-year-old foundry foreman, by cutting his jugular vein with a butcher knife at 1815 South Third Street Sunday. When apprehended, Kinslow refused to say anything, according to W. T. Bransetter, Barren County Deputy Sheriff.

Kinslow was returned to Louisville at 1:00 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was questioned, but would say anything except. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” He was returned in custody of Detective Sergeants Charles Hazel, Charles Brown and Elmer Smith, the latter secretary of the detective department.

A charge of murder was registered against Kinslow. Sergeant Hazel signed the warrant preferring the charge. The detective listed as evidence $2.29 of $4 in Kinslow’s possession. The amount listed as evidence was allegedly taken from the slain man.

The man arrested had left the Geiger home when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery slain. Her husband was asleep in the same bed. Geiger, who had been to Appleton, Wisconsin to settle the estate of his father, was exhausted from the drive and had been drinking, and efforts of Mrs. Geiger to awaken him were futile. Mrs. Geiger started out to obtain help.

Mrs. Geiger said that Kinslow, who is her brother, was at the residence shortly before Montgomery came in. Geiger was asleep and the other two men talked for a while she said. Montgomery had been drinking and when Kinslow spoke gruffly to Mrs. Geiger, Montgomery rebuked him and an argument followed, the police were told.

When Mrs. Geiger left for the home of Mr. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, her brother walked out, followed by Montgomery, she related.

It was about two and a half hours later when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery stabbed.

Funeral services for Montgomery will be held at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning at his residence, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, and at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery.

Kinslow Trial Resumes Today

Sister of Defendant in Fatal Stabbing Testifies for Commonwealth


Trial of John Kinslow, 42 years old, Glasgow, Kentucky, on a charge of murder will be resumed in the Criminal Court Tuesday. The indictment on which he is being charged alleges he stabbed Oscar G. Montgomery, 49, of 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, to death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street, May 1.

Testifying for the Commonwealth Monday, the first day of the trial, Mrs. Gieger, who is Kinslow’s sister, said he had been visiting her home for three weeks before the tragedy and had acted so strange she believed his mind was affected. She related that Montgomery came to the house the morning of the stabbing and aroused her brother’s resentment by interceding for her when her brother spoke gruffly to her.

She left home after cautioning her brother not to say anything to Montgomery because Montgomery was drunk, she said, adding that she left the house and when she returned in the afternoon she found Montgomery in bed dead, a butcher knife at his side, and her husband in bed with him asleep.

Kinslow, who had disappeared, was arrested in Glasgow several days later although he denied knowledge of the crime, and said he had been drinking. He is represented by attorneys Frank E. Daugherty and Thomas Gardner.

Mr. Geiger, also a witness for the Commonwealth, gave little information about the stabbing. He said he was drunk at the time and knew of “no trouble between Kinslow and Montgomery.” The prosecution is being handled by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan.

John Kinslow Gets Life Term for Slaying of Louisville Man

Knife Murder Jury Out for One Hour; Defense Announces Plan to Appeal


A life sentence in the penitentiary was voted by a jury in the Criminal Court at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for John Kinslow, Glasgow, Kentucky, for the murder of Oscar G. Montgomery, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue. The verdict was reached after the jury had deliberated for an hour and five minutes.

Announcing that he was “very much surprised” by the verdict, Frank E. Daugherty, attorney for Kinslow, at once presented an oral motion for a new trial and announced that he will put the motion into writing. If the plea is not granted Mr. Daugherty will appeal the verdict, he announced.

Kinslow was accused of cutting Montgomery’s throat May 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street.

In summarizing the case for the Commonwealth, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan reviewed the evidence which he contended proved Kinslow guilty of the killing.

Closing arguments for the defense, presented by Mr. Daugherty, contended that the Commonwealth had failed to connect Kinslow with Montgomery’s death. Mr. Daugherty also pointed to testimony introduced by the defense in an effort to show that Kinslow was of unsound mind.

The testimony regarding Kinslow’s mental condition was given by his sister, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis, identified as Mrs. W. E. Ellis, Dr. M. E. Loftus, Eugene Wooten and Nat Brady, all of Glasgow. Each asserted that Kinslow was irresponsible and subject to wild delusions.

They were preceded on the witness stand by Kinslow, himself, who stated that he couldn’t even remember meeting Montgomery that day. He recalled little of what happened, he said, except that he left the Geiger home about 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and hitch-hiked to Glasgow where he arrived the next day.

His testimony followed Judge Alfred T. Burgevin’s refusal to give preemptory instructions for a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Daugherty argued in favor of the motion approximately fifteen minutes, after testimony for the Commonwealth was completed with statements of Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and Mrs. R. W. Dupree, 1810 South Third Street. They said they saw Kinslow arguing in Geiger’s yard with a man resembling Montgomery May 1, and that they saw him later try to enter the house.

That night Mrs. Geiger found her husband asleep in bed with Montgomery, whose throat had been cut. A butcher knife was at Montgomery’s side

Marriage*18 October 1868She married Ezra L. Bonesteel on 18 October 1868 in Summit County, Ohio.1,3,2,4 
(Wife) Death24 August 1878Anna became a widow when Ezra L. Bonesteel died about 24 August 1878 at age 30. His Find a Grave memorial page noted that The Owosso American of 28 August 1878, reported that Ezra was a large athletic man, weighing over 200 pounds, and died in Owosso, Michigan in August 1878, after a confrontation with a man named William Fauth, in and outside the bar room of the Exchange Hotel. Providing the newspaper article was correct, we believe that Ezra's death date of 24 September 1878, reported on his memorial page, was actually the date of his burial.4
