1790 Huntingdon County, PA Census     

John Latta’s family  

3 males – 15 and up (including father)    John, William and George?

1 male – 14 and under  

7 females (including mother)

This census shows that in 1790, John and his wife had 6 daughters and three sons, two over 15 and one under 14 years of age.

1800 Huntingdon County, PA Census  

John Latta’s family      

1 male over 45 (John)  

2 males under 10   (this would be Abraham and another son)

1 female under 10  (this is probably "Rebecca")

3 female 16-26     

1 female over 45 (wife)

This looks like John and his wife had an additional 3 children since the last census, 2 sons and 1 daughter, making them a total of 5 sons and 7 daughters.

1800 Huntingdon County, PA Census  

Wm. Latta’s family (son to John?) 

Wm. and wife    

1 male under 10 

2 female under 10

1810 Huntingdon County, PA Census                                                                                  

J. Latta

2 males - 17 to 25

1 male - 45 and over

1 female - 17 to 25

 This looks like John’s wife is now deceased and perhaps he is living with 2 sons and a daughter not yet married. (the 2 males and 1 female under 10 in the 1800 census)

1810 Huntingdon County, PA Census        

M. Latta, 3 males - under 10, 1 male - 26 to 45, 4 females - under 10, 1 female - 26 to 45

(This looks like John’s son "M" and his wife now have 7 children. They are listed right after John’s residence, so they may have lived next door.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DAVID WILSON LATTA (1 Jul 1881 - 25 Jul 1956)

- By Betty Kitchen

One of the schools David attended was Fox Hollow.  We have his report card signed by his brother Tom, the teacher, from 1894.   Dave also passed an examination and received a Teacher's Certificate valid for one year in Monroe County, dated November 5, 1898.  All of his brothers got a teaching certificate in their late teens.  He would have been 17 years old.   He then went by bicycle to Cornell in Ithaca, New York.  He found work with bees to pay for his living expenses.  At some time in Ithaca he had a bicycle accident and broke his leg which gave him problems the rest of his life.

David strongly in the two-party system, and because of that, he would insist on voting even if it were a moot point. Apparently, he had strong political feelings even as a youth. Two of his editorials were published in the Saturday Evening Post.

Editor, Saturday Evening Post:

Shall we give up our legends? Emphatically we shall. Legends are untruths nine times out of ten,---merely fiction. We shall soon get into fiction altogether. Legendism and sensationalism are one and the same. Mr. Skinner says in his editorial, history and legend are the same, only legend is much broader. Webster defines legend as "a remarkable story" and history as "a record." What a difference between the two! At any rate, there are enough truths in this life to believe without going to extremes. Honor heroes, but do not make gods of them. Do not hold them up as such for posterity. While we live in this life all men are equal. In conclusion, embellish facts if you will, but do not make legends out of them.

Miltonsburg, Ohio

D. W. L.

Editor, Saturday Evening Post:

The able treatment of the editorial, Our New Midway Plaisance, has caused it to be read with more than passing interest. It seems to me that there is danger of becoming an Imperial Republic. If there is not, how can we face expansion? Can we hold out the Monroe Doctrine, on the one hand, and say to the Powers, Keep off the grass, and on the other deliberately trample upon it ourselves? No. There is danger of becoming vain because of our achievements. Look at the tone of our ultimatums to Spain and note the Imperialistic command that is implied. It seems that almost every man of office who has any influence whatever is trying to climb on some person's shoulders and then push him down as he springs upward, that he can give Imperialistic commands.  For instance, look at General Miles' military bill. It provides for a Lieutenant-General. Who will that Lieutenant-General be? Look at the International Bimetalism scheme and see what a snare that was. The time seems fast approaching when the officials at Washington will lay off their cloaks and, swaggering round in their seeming importance, say to other nations, "You shall."

Miltonsburg, Ohio

In 1913 David began working with the Kuehn-Wilson Electric company for $3.50, a day and he worked ten hours every day.  He was working for this company on the Timken building in Canton when he fell two stories and broke his jaw.  That newspaper article said "the accident was due to the breaking of the concrete pole near the place where the cross arms were attached."  Another article with headlines LEAPS IN AUTO, BEATS FOREMAN OF ELECTRIC CO, related:  "D.W. Latta Thinks Effort to Break Strike Caused the Attack."  "THREATS WERE MADE," Foreman Thinks Man Who Injured Him was Hired Thug."  After Kuehn-Wilson he worked as an electrician for Hilscher-Clark.

In June 1918 he was hired by the Hercules Motors Company.  Later he became a designing engineer.  In 1944 he received the Ordinance Distinguished Consulting Service Award for his contributions to the war technology.  Although he officially lived in Canton, Ohio, his office was in Chicago.  He took the train back home on available weekends when all five kids would go over for Saturday dinner.

Frease & Bishop, patent attorneys, list these patents as granted during the week: . . . and Hercules Motors Corp. assignee of David Wilson Latta, patent on governor controlled compression ignition.

A feature of many newspapers are notes of important things that happened 100 years ago, 50 years ago, etc. In the 1981 Canton Repository was this note: "25 YEARS AGO---David W. Latta, vice president of the Hercules Motors Corp. since 1947 and associated with the firm for 38 years, died unexpectedly in his home at 2200 Broad Ave. NW. He was 75.'

10 SAMUEL SEYMORE (3) LATTA

John (2) John (1). Born June 2, 1833; d. June 8, 1912; m. Emily Jane Moose. Then married Elizabeth Hannah Okey April 9, 1863. In 1905 lived at Woodsfield, Ohio. Elizabeth "Hannah" Okey born November 25, 1936 and died 1911.  Buried in Moose Ridge Cemetery. 

Children with Emily Jane Moose:

351 JOHN ELBA LATTA (4)   (b.1857;d.1935) m: Hannah M. (Schafer) Latta.See Obituary.  John E. age 3, is listed on page 513 of the census of Monroe County by Wilma S. Davis. He is listed with the family of his grandparents John [Mosse] Moose (54) and Emily (50) and their other children and others. His mother died in 1858.  His father Samuel Latty, age 26, is listed at another household in Wayne Township.  John and Hannah had three children: Frida (b. 1883) m. John "Frank" Turner, a daughter who married a Charles Feiber, and a son whose name is unknown. The new death records CD from Monroe County, OH shows: "Latti, Hannah, Mariah died 9 Mar 1890 in Center Twp; age 34y, 6m, 17d; from consumption." Right above it is this entry. "Latti, Samuel Varner died 7 mar 1890 in Center Twp; 21 days; from inflammation of the bowels."  Hannah Mariah was the wife of John Elba or (L.B.) Latta.  She was originally a Shafer.  It seems very logical to me that it was her infant son that died 2 days before she did.

 

Children with Elizabeth Hannah Okey:   

18 JAMES ALBERT (4) b. June 6, 1864; d. September 24, 1865.  

19 DAVID WIER (4) b. August 5, 1867; d. August 19, 1930; m. Rachel P. Snodgrass at Rinard's  Mills, Ohio.

"Tony" Paulus) February 27, 1889 (Monroe Co., OH Marriages, Vol. 3, page 488; Catharine J. Latta).  Children: Ida R. b. January 17, 1890; m. L.P. Christman December 14, 1910.  

21 ANNA BELL/ANNIE BELLE (4) b. Oct. 12, 1875 (listed as 1874 in county records - Monroe Co., OH, Vol 1, page 216 (listed Latty, A. B. (female); father - Samuel; mother - Hannah Okey Latta);  m. William Forest Turner. Seven children.

John C. (3) John (2) John (1). Born near Woodsfield, Ohio on July 18, 1866; d. near Eldon, OH on May 3, 1925. Buried at Calais, Ohio. Married Mary Adelia Burris October 4, 1898. She was born in 1873 and died in 1950 in Cambridge, Ohio.  In 1930 she was living at Eldon, Ohio. Thomas was a school teacher and taught at the "Fox Hollow School".  His wife, Mary, was also a school teacher. Tom Latta taught at several Monroe County schools before becoming the county school examiner in 1910. Mary taught at Calais School 1899-1901 and was at Fox Hollow in 1911.  She and her husband Tom had one child, Thomas Burris Latta, who was born and died in 1896.

BIO:Tom Latta taught at several Monroe County schools before becoming the county school examiner in 1910. His artifacts include a brown spiral notebook that includes information about his lessons including a section on diagramming sentences and a section where various students from the class are named and receive credit for bringing in famous quotations. He also has left the 1894 Railroad Map of Ohio presented to him compliments of W.S. Hardesty that is a 32 inch roll-up wall map mounted on an one-inch dowel rod that was used in his classroom. There are also several classroom souvenirs from the various schools.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JOHN TILDEN LATTA

By Betty Latta Kitchen

On the walls of our home we have a photograph of the Fox Hollow School children. John, his brother David, his teacher and brother Tom and numerous Morris cousins are pictured therein. We also have framed a map of Ohio he made November 12, 1893, apparently when he was a student there. We have a newspaper article about the party for his sister Mary's birthday about 1895 (her 21st we think) that says, "The beginning of the evening was spent in social chat, interspersed with instrumental music by J. T. Latta and sister and brother. . . . During supper J. T. Latta gave us some fine comic songs with banjo accompaniment." In l999 The Monroe County Genealogical Society reprinted the article.

He was baptized by Mr. Bebb into the Salem (Ohio) Baptist Church. We think he may have attended the Carmelite Baptist Church when he was young. He was ordained at Salem but officially was a member of the East Cleveland Baptist Church during his missionary years. His daughter Emma told us that he probably never would have become a missionary except for the influence of his wife Mary Udell. She gave us a picture when he taught at a school in Cambridge in the 1890's and another one of him, his school children, and the parents and family of the community about 1903. It has about 100 people in it.

He wrote poetry before the age of 20 and was published. A copy of his small book, School Poems, is in our library. He played the violin.  He went to the Doane Academy.  We have the invitation for his commencement on June 10th, 1902, held in the Baptist Church in Granville, Ohio, that was addressed to his brother David Wilson Latta.  He continued his studies at Denison University and the University of Chicago.  In l904 his address was 52 M.D. Middle University Hall. He was a member of the Evangelistic Band of the University of Chicago. We have a flier with the 13 member evangelistic band pictured and the three-day program. He was listed as the hymn writer. In addition to his book of school poems he wrote 300 songs and about 1000 other poems.

He married Mary Elizabeth Udell on September 9, l905, in Gibson, Ohio, and was ordained at the Salem church in October. His daughter Lois wrote me that they sailed under the sponsorship of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society as missionaries to Burma in October. He arrived in Rangoon December l9, l905, and proceeded on to Thonze the next day where he served until April l, l940.

He married Mary Elizabeth Udell on September 9, l905, in Gibson, Ohio, and was ordained at t he Salem church in October. His daughter Lois wrote me that they sailed under A.B.F.M.S. as missionaries to Burma in October. He arrived in Rangoon December l9, l905, and proceded on to Thonze the next day where he served until April l, l940.

"Uncle John and Aunt Mary went to India about 1905. The children were all born in Rangoon. Their first son Walter died in infancy. In 1912 they had a sabbatical leave and apparently bought the home then. There was or still is a Baptist Children's Home in Granville, and they left some of the children there either then or in 1920 (the next sabbatical year). Maybe because the Baptist home was there or maybe Aunt Mary was from near there is why they bought the house there. They still owned a house in Granville at the time of their deaths. Grandma Latta (Mary Jane) said there were enough souls in the United States to save, they did not need to go to India. She did not approve of leaving the children in the home at Granville."--quoted from a letter from Aunt Jan to me (Betty Latta Kitchen) in 1997. She wrote that their children in addition to Walter were Little Mary, Margery , Jack, Lois, and Emma; and that she did not know the girls married names, but Lois never married. She and Aunt Jan sent each other a Christmas card and letter every year. I was recently given a post card from J. T. to his brother David postmarked September 2l, l905, Cambridge, Ohio, addressed to 308 l/2 S. Hartford St., Canton, Ohio.
"Dear Bro.--I am at my wife's home. We will pack our goods here to go to India. We are to leave Boston Nov. lst and England the l6th. I was in Chicago from Sat. last till Monday and ordered our goods. I tell you I was tired. The commuter train was wrecked Friday night. 3 killed and 30 wounded. There wasn't a whole window in the train. "I want to come up next week some time. Please write me how I can best get there. How did you go on the C. & M.? Tell me all I need to know about getting there and finding you. I guess I will have no trouble in finding your house, but I shall get there in the day time and will want to look you up in your engine room. Please write immediately. Yours truly, J.T. Latta".

On June l7, l929, John was a delegate to the American Baptist Mission Convention at Denver, Colorado. We have a picture that I believe is from this affair. His wife Mary wrote to my grandmother (Effie, David Wilson's wife) from Thonze, Burma, on January 31, 1932: "Dear Sister Effie, . . . [much about flowers then] . . . Well we feel we have lived about 10 years since we last saw you. The rebels prevented our going out at all the first part of the year and I was glad to put most of my time in the school tho I had said I wouldn't. Tho we couldn't go out the people from the jungle were driven in, so we have had a good ingathering, and now we all have more work than we can do. There is a great deal of distress among those who have had to give up every thing and come in. "Do you know we are to have a new bungalow? We are having it at this time because it was a good time to build while we could not get out into the district and it helped to give work to those in need. The foundation, floor and part of the walls of the lower story are up. It is brick and John thinks he is making it earthquake proof. How about your house out on the new site. Is it finished? Where does Elton live? Have the Canton banks stood the depression?

"We had a busy happy Xmas and about as usual. "Hope you are all well. How is Donald? I believe Zelvon has graduated. I'm sure John is getting along fine in school. [Is John supposed to be my dad Vernon?] "We have good news from the 'kids.' Emma seems happy. She spent Thanksgiving with Dr. Heber. Jack is doing good work from all reports, at Dennison. Margery has been in Rochester, Minn. in the Mayo Clinic since she graduated in June. She is typing, does laboratory work and translates German for me [many?] of the Doctors. Lois is with Mary in Dayton going to school.

"Tell Janedith how often we are reminded of her. "Write when you can. John says tell you he remembers you all. "Your sister-----Mary E. U. Latta"

Clarissa (4) George Madison (3) John (2) John (1)  Clarissa Latta shows up for the first time in the 1860 Doddridge County, VA (now WV) Census.  Clarissa's mother is now married to Lory Roney. (RONEY, L. 37 farmer; Christina, 42; Ellis, 23; Mat (Nathaniel), 14; Catherine, 6; Clarissa, 5; J. C., 1.)  Doddridge County birth records show a Hannah J. Latty born to a Clarasa Latty on December 20, 1872. The informant was Robert Willis, friend. Father – not given. (Doddridge County Births, Book 1, page 56) On November 3, 1882 (Deed Book No. 13, page 100) Robert Willis deeded 187 acres on Sheeps Run, Southwest District, Doddridge County, to Matilda Willis, Henrietta Davis and Hannah Jane Latta, daughter of Clanacy Latta (Hannah would have been 10 years old).

In Deed Book 18, page 25, Matilda deeded her interest in the land to Henrietta Hyde. In Deed Book 14, page 397, Henrietta and Lewis A. Hyde deed land to Eli Nutter. So Henrietta must have married a Lewis A. Hyde. In Deed Book No. 72, page 325, Hannah Jane Swiger deeded land to Eli Nutter.

In Probate Book (Wards L-Z) in 1887, it lists as follows: Latta, Hannah J. Willia, "Hannah J. Latta (Willis), orphan of Robert Willis, dec’d, a minor over fourteen years of age, this day appeared in Court and moved the Court to appoint J. V. Blair, guardian for her, the said Hannah J. Latta (Willis) upon which motion the Court doth order that the said J. V. Blair, be and he is hereby appointed guardian of the said Hannah J. Latta (Willis)."

The 1880 Doddridge County, WV Census also lists Hannah with the Willis family. Evidently, Clarissa had Hannah by Robert Willis when she was a young girl (age 17). Robert Willis would have been 71 years of age.

Nathaniel Corthers (also spelled Cothers, Cauthers and Cathew) Lattea, son of George and Christian Lattea, was born November 28, 1847 in Marion County, West Virginia. His death certificate, Lewis County Deaths, Book No. 5, page 109) lists his middle name as "Cathew". He married Columbia "Lum" Serena Shackleford, daughter of Warner Washington Shackleford and Mary Susan (Kearnes/Kerns) Shackleford, on December 3, 1868 (Harrison County Marriages, Book No. 5, at page 56).

His father was listed as George M. and his mother as Christine A. J. Lattea.  Alma Shackleford stated that Columbia Serena was born in Harrison County, West Virginia (then recorded as Virginia) on August 23, 1854. Nathan's birthplace is debated, his marriage record stating that he was born in Marion County and Alma stated that family Bible's say that he was born is Sistersville, Tyler County, West Virginia.  Alma also related that Nathan's family and Columbia's family were living in the Broadway section of Clarksburg at the time that he was dating Columbia. Before Nathan began dating Columbia he was going with her sister, Alice. One evening when he went calling on Alice, she was out with another fellow. Nathan then began seeing Columbia and they were later married. Nathaniel was a coal miner. He and his father, George Madison Lattea, negotiated operations in opening a part of a mine near Despard, Harrison County, West Virginia, known as the "Lattea Heading". Nate and George worked in the Columbia Mines in Despard. Columbia "Lum" Lattea died on June 24, 1936 at Hurst, Lewis County, West Virginia, at their home on Straight Run.  Dr. Robert White was the attending physician (Lewis Co. Deaths, Book 5, page 108). She was buried at the McCutcheon Cemetery on Straight Run.
