• Notes

  !(Bloomfield Democrat, Thursday, 3 Jun 1875) "Another Hor r or - While our paper was on press last week, we were call ed to the side of an ol d resident of this county, Martin G ore, whose life was ebbing away from the ef fect of a crue l kick from a horse. - Mr. Gore was engaged in his business , stoc k breeding, at Barton's stable, at the time and rece ived his death blow b y a kick from one of the team belongi ng to Frank Guernsey. He was standing wit h his back to th e animal and never knew what gave him his death. The hoo f o f the animal struck him just at the base of the brain a nd broke in the skull . By the use of restoratives life ca me back to the apparently lifeless form , but no consciousn ess, and soon the life went out from the aged ten ement, an d the good old man was in the possession of that rest whic h was his he ritage by reason of the sixty years of uprigh t life that he had lived. His fam ily was summoned and too k the body home, from whence his funeral occurred on th e f ollowing day. He was buried in the Murphy graveyard near w here he had live d for twenty-six years. - Martin Gore wa s born in the State of Virginia 1814 . He went to Indiana w hen 18 years of age where he married; removing the nce to I owa in 1851. He came to Davis County, purchased the place w here his fami ly reside, and here built up for himself a co mpetency and a good name." !Martin and Hannah are listed as original Decatur County , I ndiana landowners. Martin on 27 July 1835; Hannah on 2 7 May 1833. !From (Indiana State Archives; Microfilm A17; Book 4; p. 3 0 9); original Tract Book entry for Indianapolis Land Offic e records on line 2 ; "W1/2 NE (Sec.) 28 80 (acres) S Mar 2 1, '33 William Swinney N July 27, '35 M artin Gore" Fro m (Decatur County, IN; Original Landowners Tract Book, Tran sc ribed from Indianapolis Land Office Records; p. 142) "T ownship No. 1 0 N Range 8 E; Section 28; (2nd line) NW1/4 o f NE1/4, 40.00 acres, July 27 , 1835, Martin Gore; (3rd lin e) SW1/4 of NE1/4, 40.00 acres, Mar. 21, 1833, Will iam Swi nney." The tracts were sold in minimum of 80 acre units. !Why was the transaction entered in 1833, yet Martin was s h own as an original landowner in Decatur County in 1835 ? Was the July 27, 183 5 date recorded in 1833? Could tha t represent when Martin attained majority ? Did William fi le for the land in order to acquire the 40 acres for Marti n ? Why? Hannah Shelton's 80 acres, purchased in May 183 3 joined the portio n acquired by William Swinney and Marti n.
