Notes for LEWIS DAY: 
April 25, 1889, The Honesdale Citizen: 
Lewis Day died at his home in Dyberry at an early hour Monday
morning.

Mr. Day was born June 25, 1813, at Chatham, Morris Co.,N.J. and
was the youngest of nine children. In October, 1816, his parents
removed to Wayne County, and settled on the Dyberry flats., in
Dyberry Township. As he grew to manhood, the impaired health of
his father and the removal of the elder children threw on him
the chief cares and labors of the farm, and his management
proved highly successful. His biographer in the recently
published county history speaks thusly of him:

"Lewis Day is a man of modest and assuming ways, industrius and
judicious, and it may be well said of him 'that he ranks among
the intelligent and thrifty farmers of Wayne County'. He is a
great hunter and a good shot and has made bear, deer, adn other
wild game acknowledge man's supremacy. He has a rifle, purchased
in 1840, with which he has killed one hundred and thirteen deer.
He has frequently killed three deer in a day and wounded a
fourth."

Nove. 6, 1838, Mr. Day married Nancy J., a daughter of 
Gideon Langdon, of Dyberry. She died Sept. 8, 1866. 
April 7, 1870, he married Margaret Dabron, a daughter of 
John Dabron, of Damascus, who survives him.

The funeral services were held yesterday morning, the internment
being at Bethany.

Notes for EPHRAIM H. DAY: 
Death of Ephraim H. Day - Mr. Ephraim H. Day died at his
residence in this city yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, of
paralysis. He was taken slightly ill on Wednesday night; but the
stroke was not felt until Thursday morning. From that time until
his death, he was conscious only at intervals. Mr. Day is one of
the old pioneers of this city, having come to Portland at an
early day. In 1856 he kept a store at the corner of Stark and
Front Sts. in partnership with Captian Joseph Mynck.
Subsequently he was largely interested in mining operations in
Eastern Oregon, Idaho and Cariboo. He acted for some time as
purser on board one of the O.S.N. Co's. boats. For the last year
he was one of the clerks in the Quartermaster's Department. In
the social relations of his life, Mr. Day was a sober,
intelligent citizen, a kind husband, a genial companian, and a
true friend. His business qualities were characteristic for
exactness, punctuality and unswerving honesty. In his sudden
death society and the community have suffered an irreparable
loss. He was stricken down in the pride and strength of his
manhood -- being in his thirty-ninth year -- and in the midst of
a career of usefulness. He leaves a wife and many friends to
mourn a loss which death has occasioned, and which time can
never replace. -Daily Oregonian, May 6th, 1872. 

Funeral of the Late E. H. Day. - The remains of the late 
Ephraim H. Day were followed to the Lone Fir Cemetary,
yesterday, by a large number of friends. The members of the
several Masonic Lodges of the city attended. The body was
consigned to the grave with the usual impressive rites of that
order. The East Portland Brass Band was in attendance and
discourced sad and dirge-like strains of music. 
-Daily Oregonian, May 7th. 

Mr. Day was formerly a resident of this county, and left for
Oregon nineteen or twenty years ago. He was a brother-in-law of
Lewis Demoss. He left many warm friends behind when he started
for his far Western home, who will hear of his death with
sadness. -Coshocton Democrat, May 28, 1872.

Notes for DAMARIS DAY: 
Damaris F. Hamlin was born in Chatham, Morris county, N.J.
January 16th, 1804. Her maiden name was Day, she being the
daughter of Stephen and Mary Day. Her childhood and early youth
were passed in her native place. In 1816, being then in the 19th
year of her age, she came with her parents into Wayne county,
and settled on the farm now occupied by her brother, Lewis Day.
Dyberry was then a wilderness; Honesdale had no existence; and
Wayne county had but few inhabitants. Here for 10 years of her
early life she lived with her parents partially unknown, but
distinguished for her affectionate nature and kindness to the
companions of her youth. On the 12th of January 1826, being then
in the 22nd year of her age, she married the late Hon. E.W.
Hamlin, with whom she lived as his counselor and help meet for
over sixty years, exemplifying the virtues of his character, and
respected and beloved by all around her. Immediately after her
marriage she came with her companion to Bethany and commenced
her life-work in the house where, with the execption of a few of
her last days she spent the whole of her married life. Soon
after her removal to Bethany in the bloom and vigor of her age,
she chose the “One thing needful”, and consecrated the powers of
her mind and body to the service of her Lord and Redeemer;
united with the people of God and was a consistent member of the
church for over fifty years. On the 7th of April, 1884, she
buried her companion. She was then over eighty years of age.
Since the death of her companion her health has gradually failed
and a few days before her death she was carried by friendly
hands to the residence of her only son Hon. E. Hamlin. 

Child of DAMARIS DAY and EPHRAIM HAMLIN is:

Notes for THEODORE DAY:
From Illustrated Wayne County by Benjamin F. Haines, Pub. 1902 

Stephen Day, grandfather of Theodore Day, came from Chatham, 
N. J. and settled on the Dyberry in October, 1916, the year
without a summer, and died at Bethany, Aug. 5, 1885, aged 96
years. His son, Edwin S. was in his seventh year when they came.
August 10, 1836, Edwin and Fidelia Gleason were married and
resided for seven years at Elizabethtown, N.J., where the
subject of this sketch was born, November 12, 1837. They returned
to Dyberry in 1843, and Theodore was educated in the public
schools and the University at Bethany. He taught one term of
school in Clinton and two in Oregon. His mother died 
April 17, 1861, aged 50 years, and he enlisted in Co. C, Sixth
Pennsylvania Reserves, John S. Wright, Captain. Exposure and
poor water soon took Mr. Day from the ranks and he served as
commissary for five months without extra pay, and was honorably

Nov. 14, 1870, Hester A. Dodge became his wife. She died 
July 19, 1893. 

Mr. Day's principal occupation has been grafting and pruning
fruit trees. He is now testing grafts of new varieties on his

Generation No. 3 


9. ELIAS OGDEN10 WARD (JANE9 DAY, STEPHEN8, STEPHEN7, JOSEPH6,
PAUL5, GEORGE4,NICHOLAS3, JOHN2 DEE, MORGAN1) 
was born February 05, 1810. He married EMALINE AMY FARRER,
daughter of ELIAB FARRER and JEMINA UNKNOWN.  

Notes for ELIAS OGDEN WARD:

From Matthews: 
Rev. Elias O. Ward, who for nearly a half century has been a
minister of the Presbyterian Church, and for the past thirty-three 
years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Bethany, Pa.,
was born at Chatham, N.J., February 5, 1810. He removed with his
parents from Chatham to Bethany in 1924, and for a few years
worked there in the trade of a hatter. Early religious
influences impressed him and in 1832 he began studying for the
ministry with Rev. Preston Richardson, of Hartford, Susquehanna
County, Pa, under whose tutorship he was prepared for college,
and entered the second term of the Freshman Class at Hamilton,
in 1934. He was graduated from this institution in the Class of
1838, and in September of the same year entered the Theological
Seminary at Auburn, N.Y. from which he was graduated after the
usual course of the three years study. On September 16, 1841, he
was licensed to preach at Great Bend, and four days thereafter
preached his first sermon at Hartford, where he had begun his
studies nine years before. On October 4, following he preached
as a candidate in the Presbyterian Church at Dandaff, was
accepted, and remained as pastor of that church for twelve
years. During his incumbency as pastor he labored faithfully in
every good work in the interest of the church and sought to
promote and foster Christian unity. He saw his labors
successfully crowned by many and frequent accessions to the
church rolls, together with a general religious sentiment in the
community.  

With the beginning of his ministry began also his married life,
for, on October 14 of the same year he married Emeline Amy,
daughter of Eliab and Jemina Farrer, of Hartford, whose parents
were from Massachusetts, and both died at Hartford. 

For forty-five years Mrs. Ward has shared with him the loyalty
and devotion of the church and bore up his hands in time of
depression. She is a woman of high Christian character, in full
sympathy with all religious work, and the helps and hospitality
requisite to make a pastor's home the welcome place for all.  

In 1853, having closed his labors with the church at Dundaff, he
was settled with the church in Bethany, where he as remained
faithful to his trust until the present time (1886). During this
long period as pastor he was been at the head of the Sunday
school, and as its superintendant, has so led the youth of the
vicinity in Bible instructions, as to make the school the true
feeder of the church. Nor have his labors been confined to the
church and Sunday school at Bethany, for he has, through a long
series of years been active in the establishing and keeping up
Sunday schools in neighborhoods outside of Bethany, where is
labors have also been largely successful. For many years he has
been officially and otherwise identified with the Wayne County
Bible Society. Rev. Mr. Ward's name is probably more familiar in
Wayne and adjoining counties than almost any other minister of
the gospel, from the fact, that during his long sojourn in
Bethany his acquaintance has obtained a wide range, and during
his ministry he has joined in wedlock some four hundred and
thirty couples, and been called upon to bury four hundred and
sixty persons.  

He has taken an active interest in schoolwork, and for a little
over six years served as school superintendent of Wayne County.
His proficiency in this capacity is well known, and has worked
inestimable benefits to the schools of the county.  

His father, Moses Ward (1784-1867) and mother, Jane (1790-1871),
daughter of Stephen and Mary (Bonnell) Day, were both natives of
New Jersey, were memebers of the Presbyterian Church, and their
remains rest in the cemetary at Bethany. Moses Ward was a
carpenter by trade, was engaged in building the Gravity
Railroad, and was in the employ of that corporation the 
remainder of his active life. His maternal grandparents settled
on Dyberry Creek, in Dyberry township in 1816. A sketch of them 
can be found in another part of this volume.  

The other children of Moses and Jane Ward were Stephen D. 
(1818-71), clerk and cashier in the Honesdale Bank for many
years; Mary Budd (1811-33) was the mother of the late 
Mrs. Thaddeus Fitch, of Honesdale. The children of 
Rev. Elias O. and Emeline Amy Ward are Stephen Day, served in
the late Civil War in the Army of the Potomac, was in the
Peninsular Campaign with McClellen, and in the battles of
Chancellorville and Second Bull Run. He died soon after the
latter battle in Fairfax Seminary Hospital, Va., September 8, 1862, 
aged twenty years and eight days. Edward Oscar married 
Alice, daughter of Hon. A.B. Gammell, and is a merchant at
Bethany, and Mary Elizabeth is the wife of Dr. Reed Burns, of
Honesdale, Pa.

what is called the George Freshwater farm, where he remained
until his twenty-first year; then removed to Rochester, Ohio;
engaged in the grocery business for one year. He was then
engaged in a flouring-mill at Roscoe, in Coshocton county, for
one year. He then moved back to the farm and remained there for
five years; then to Rochester; then to Oxford, Ohio; then back
to the old home, where he purchased the Miller farm, and
remained there for about five years. From there he went to
Oxford and engaged in the mercantile business for two years, and
then to the old home again, where he remained until he sold it.
He then went to Mt. Holly, and bought the Hast farm. He then
sold the farm and went to Spring mountain, then returned to Mt.
Holly and lived there for a year. Then he purchased the Draper
farm, and lived there for five years, and then returned for the

Notes for WILLIAM SANFORD DAY:
1850 census: Lawyer, born in New Jersey 

From Obit: 
Death of an Octogenarian: William S. Day, brother of B.B. Day,
of this place, died at the Inland Hotel early Saturday Morning
age 82 years. Death was due to the natural wasting away of age.
Deceased was born September 17, 1818, in Holmes County, Ohio,
and spent his early life in the east, rearing a family of three
sons and one daughter. The companion of his life passed away
about the year of 1850. In 1851, Mr. Day set his face westward
on the overland trail to the gold fields of California and
remained in that state until 1856 when he went to Oregon and
remained until 1879, since which time he has been a resident of
Idaho. For the past few years, his home has been with his
brother at the Inland Hotel in this city. During the years
spent on the frontier he followed prospecting and was the
discoverer of Granite placer mines in Grant County, Oregon. A
son and daughter survive him. Two sons having given up their
lives during the civil war, one dying in Libbey Prison and the
other of wounds received in battle. The funeral services were
conducted at 2 pm Sunday by Mrs. Over and appropriate music was
furnished by a quartet consisting of Mesdames Cook and Over,
and Messrs. Wipple and Smith. 

From Obit sent to me by Dellie Craig:
Obituary for William Sanford Day out of the The Citizen, Cambridge, 
Idaho newspaper October 19,1900. 

Death of Samuel Day 
Samuel Day, a brother of B. B. Day, died at the Inland hotel in
Salubria last Saturday and was buried Sunday. Mr. Day was 86
years old. He was an old timer in this country, having lived
for a number of years on a farm on the Salmon river not far
from Warren. During the last two years his health had been
failing and be had been making his home with his brother. He
Had been suffering from rhematism and a complication of
troubles, and the cause of his death might properly be termed
old age. During his daty in Salubria.

Samuel Day made many friends; in fact to know him was to be his
friend. He was always good natured and had a pleasant word for
everyone with whom he came in contact. The familiar face of the
old man will be missed by his Salubria friends.
