She died October 21, 1885 in Wilmington, DE.
Notes for SILAS DAY:
Silas Day, son of Jeduthan Day, was set up in the iron making business by his father one he knew nothing 
about and the result was disastrous. The mountains of New Jersey abound in deposits of iron ore and in the 
early part of the last century, iron making ws the principal industry. The abundant forests supplied great 
quantities of charcoal, a fuel needed for smelting and refining the iron ore. A forge was purchased for 
young Silas and his brother Dewitt, with the boundaries of the town of Stockholm, NJ on the banks of the 
Pequannock River at the junction of the main road with the lowest of the four roads which lead from Stockholm 
to the village of Holland. This forge bore the name of "Herring Bone Gorge", due to the bones of herring fish 
cast away at lunch time by the workmen employed there. Dewitt soon withdrew from the partnership, to operate 
a forge of his own at Canisteer NJ. In fact so many debts piled up that the constable arrived frequently to 
possess and sell his property, to include household items to settle debts. Finally Silas was jailed in 
Hackensack NJ due to bad and unpaid bills. When the law as repealed he was allowed to go home.Despite the 
fact of his early failure in business, for which he was really not to blame, Silas was always strictly honest 
in his business relations. Considering the intemperate times in which he lived, and his self-indulgent and 
undisciplined nature, it is remarkable that he was a total abstainer from liquor and tobacco, and had much 
to say against their use by others. He has transmitted to nearly all of his male decendants a strong distate 
for both forms of dissipation, so that since his time, ther have been few smokers among them, and so far no 
drinkers.Silas was a short and stout, with clean shaven face and high forehead. He was fond of a good joke.  
In his early life he was an active member and class leader in the Methodist church, but in later years he 
lost his faith and developed altheistical tendencies. He attributed this change to the hypocrisy of a certain 
preacher, who once wronged him in some business transaction and whom he never forgave.A log house on the top 
of Paradise Hill NJ was the birthplace of several of his children and the family home for a number of years. 
A still more tiny log house in the depths of the forest near Buckbear Mountain was occupied by the family for 
a short time. It was known as the "Morgan House". Later a two story house was built in Stockholm which shelter 
the mother and children which still stands at the junction of the main road with the road leading under the 
railroad bridge to Canistear.Susan died Jul 28, 1847. Three years later Silas re-married. He spent his last 
years in the home of his son, Anthony Ludlow Day. He had a stroke "his mind failed" tho he remembered Susan 
in his mental ramblings. He died Apr 5, 1877 and sleeps aside of her in the little Country Churchyard at 
Oak Ridge, NJ. Their graves are marked with a common stone.
Notes for SUSAN BREESE:
Susan was a strong willed and natured individual. She managed to keep her family going while her husband was 
away from home working. 
Marriage Notes for SILAS DAY and SUSAN BREESE:
During these years of stuggle and privation and abject poverty, a large family had come into existence, 
eleven children in all, of who three died in childhood. Silas, instead of sharing the noble spirit of his wife, 
made her lot harder by throwing upon her for one whole year the entire burden of this large family. 
After the iron business failed, Silas became a traveling clock mender and it was during one of these trips that 
he disappeared from the knowlege of his family. Susan Breese DAY bore her sorrow without complaint and did her 
best with the aid of the older sons to care for the family.One day a cousin who was calling upon Susan changed 
to look out of the window and exclaimed "Why there's Silas!" The revulsion of teeling was too great and Susan 
fainted. Silas used to read from the New Testament wtih tears streaming down his face "I would be willing to 
spend eternity in toil and hardship if it would purchase for me a place in heaven beside Susan!"

Notes for JEDUTHAN SILAS DAY II:
Jeduthan was the fourth of eight children bourn of Silas and Susan Day. He shared in the family 
responsibilities with his father was away from home. Soon after his older siblings were married, 
Jeduthan wanted to "grow up" in the "Great West" so he left  home. His family had no idea where he went 
or where his travels had taken him. Neither parent ever saw him again. Jeduthan's travels took him not 
only to the west but south to New Orleans as well. One of his pleasures he told his children about was 
going to the boats to harvest oysters and eating them "very fresh out of the shell". He stayed there 
long enough to become very sympathetic with southern ideas. On August 14, 1848 he married a cute little 
Irish girl, Mary Grimes. Five children arrived but two were lost a month apart in 1858. He took his family 
to Illinois probably about 1859 by boat up the Mississippi River. The river was important to him. A 160 
acre timber farm was for sale near Grafton Illinois so it was purchased. Jeduthan was a fine carpenter like 
his father so he too found work, but frequently far from home. His two oldest sons had to assume home 
responsibilities far too soon. "Going West" was still important, so he moved his family to Humbolt, NE.Fort 
Riley Kansas was started in 1853-54 and enlarged in 1886-87. Jeduthan found this a good place for steady employment.
Fifty years after he left he returned to his old home in NJ in 1887 after Elias, his older brother had made an 
extended search for him. He died at the home of Elias on Feb 25, 1896 of cancer and is buried at Table Rock NE.

Notes for MARY GRIMES:
Mary Grimes left her home and family in Ireland at the age of 16. After three days aboard the ship they were hit with 
strong winds (possibly a hurricane) and were blown back within sight of Ireland. Most of the passengers aboard were so 
battered and ill they would gladly have gone home. However, since most of the Captains took a load of immigrants to 
New Orleans and returned with a profitable load of tobacco, he continued his original destination.There is a possibility 
that Mary had a brother John in New Orleans who may had paid her passage.  The voyage took eight weeks. Perhaps Mary met 
Jeduthan through her brother.Mary and Jeduthan were married in New Orleans Aug 14, 1848 where five children were born between 
1849-1858 three boys and two girls. The youngest Elizabeth at the age of one month, Jeduthan age 2 years died there in 1858. 
The young family moved to Alton Illinois before 1860 when John B was born.In 1863 they purchased 120 acres of timberland. 
Jeduthan was a fine carpenter. He was away from home much of the time so Mary and the two older boys managed as best they 
could.The family moved to Humbolt Nebraska as did Silas and John where they started their families.Mary was loved by both 
daughter in laws when she lived in their homes. Mary died at the age of 77 on Nov 25, 1901 and is buried in Table Rock NE.
