• Story:
  MANLEY W. AXTELL--The late Manley Washington Axtell was born on his parents' farm in Russia township, Lorain county, Ohio, March 31, 1831, and he died on his farm at Amherst on December 28, 1893, after a life of usefulness and honor. He was a son of Daniel and Jane (Wellman) Axtell, the father born in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and the mother in the state of Maine. They were married in Massachusetts, and coming to Lorain county, Ohio, in 1824, they located on a farm in Russia township and spent the remainder of their lives there. Manley W. Axtell was the twelfth born of their fifteen children, ten sons and five daughters, and before reaching his majority purchased his time of his father and worked at the carpenter's trade during the summer months. In time he resumed his studies at Oberlin College, and later was under General McClelland on the Illinois Central Railroad. Entering the medical department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor he graduated and practiced medicine for a period in Missouri. While in the west he was also quite extensively engaged in railroad construction, and enlisting for the Civil war with the Chicago Light Artillery, he was assigned to the department of the Mississippi and later was an assistant surgeon at Camp Dennison, Ohio, serving until the close of the conflict. Going to Northern Michigan Mr. Axtell was engaged in the wood and coal business for one year, and selling out there it was at this time that he received the contract for the construction of a part of the Northern Missouri Railroad. This work consumed about a year, and he was then engaged in railroad building for many years in Kansas. Returning to Lorain county, Ohio, in 1872, he purchased twenty-two acres of land in Amherst and later bought twenty-two acres more, although not adjoining, and farmed his land until his death.
  
  Mr. Axtell was married on October 22, 1856, to Catherine A. Whiton, who was bon in Amherst township December 24, 1839, a daughter of Judge Joseph L. and Lavina (Wright) Whiton, he from Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and she from Springfield, that state. Since her husband's death Mrs. Axtell has resided in Amherst, and much of her time is spent in travel. She has one daughter, Agnes May, the wife of H. J. Moule, connected with the Cleveland Trust Company and a resident of Lakewood, this state. They have two children, Manley Axtell and Richard Harding. Mr. Axtell affiliated with the Democratic party, and was a member of the Masonic order in Chicago and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mrs. Axtell is a member of the Unitarian church.

• Marriage: He and Angeline Coons were married on 19 December 1867 in Will, Illinois, United StatesBG, Married by Enoch Jackson, a Justice of the Peace. Accompanying the marriage license was two other pages. The first one was a consent to marriage given by the bride's father, Adam Coons. "I hereby give my full consent to the marriage of Franklin Roush to my daughter Angeline Coons."
  
  The second page was an affidavit form to prove whether the parties were of a rightful age to marry. "Franklin Roush of the County of Will, and State of Illinois, who has this day applied to me for License of Marriage, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he has arrived at the age of twenty-one years." The remainder of the deposition applying to whether the bride, Angeline Coons, "has arrived at the age of eighteen years, that they (the parties for whom said application is made" are now single and unmarried, and may lawfully contract and be joined in marriage" has been crossed out.
  
  Based on this information, Angeline had not yet reached the age of 18 and Franklin was at least 21 years of age at the time of the marriage. This would place her birth after 20 Dec 1849 and Franklin's birth before 19 Dec 1846.^7,8

Angeline Coons¹

Parents

Biography

• Birth: Angeline Coons was born after 19 December 1849.¹
• Marriage: She and Franklin Roush were married on 19 December 1867 in Will, Illinois, United StatesBG, Married by Enoch Jackson, a Justice of the Peace. Accompanying the marriage license was two other pages. The first one was a consent to marriage given by the bride's father, Adam Coons. "I hereby give my full consent to the marriage of Franklin Roush to my daughter Angeline Coons."
  
  The second page was an affidavit form to prove whether the parties were of a rightful age to marry. "Franklin Roush of the County of Will, and State of Illinois, who has this day applied to me for License of Marriage, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he has arrived at the age of twenty-one years." The remainder of the deposition applying to whether the bride, Angeline Coons, "has arrived at the age of eighteen years, that they (the parties for whom said application is made" are now single and unmarried, and may lawfully contract and be joined in marriage" has been crossed out.
  
  Based on this information, Angeline had not yet reached the age of 18 and Franklin was at least 21 years of age at the time of the marriage. This would place her birth after 20 Dec 1849 and Franklin's birth before 19 Dec 1846.^2,1
• Death: She died before 1880.

• Name: Angeline Coons was also known as Rosa Coons.
• Name: She was also known as Angeline Koones.³
• Name: She was also known as Angeline Roush.⁴
• Note: Pauline Thornton had "Rosa" listed as mother of William Rouse. I have changed the name to Angeline Coons to correspond with information found in marriage records of William and Hattie and David and Della listing parents names.⁵

• Story:
  Judge Washington W. Boynton. For a period longer than the average lifetime Judge Boynton has been a member of the Ohio bar. To the present generation his distinguished services are sufficiently familiar. To those who read these pages in the future it will suffice to indicate his prominence by saying that for years he stood second to none as a member of the Cleveland bar, and that for five years he read his clear, logical and forceful opinions into the decisions of the Ohio Supreme Court. Lorain County will always regard him as one of its foremost citizens and one of its most distinguished native sons.
  
  Born in Russia Township, Lorain County, January 27, 1833, Washington Wallace Boynton is the son of General Lewis D. and Ruth (Wellman) Boynton, both of whom were born and spent many years of their early lives in Belgrade, Maine, but in 1826 they removed to Ohio and established themselves as pioneers in Lorain County. Judge Boynton is directly descended from Sir Matthew Boynton, who was created a baronet May 25, 1618, and was a member of the English parliament during the reign of Charles I. His sympathies became enlisted on the side of the Republican cause during the civil wars of England. His second son, named Matthew, married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Stapleton, and about 1632 emigrated to America and became identified with the New England Colony of Boyntons.
  
  Gen. Lewis D. Boynton was born in Maine August 5, 1802, and his wife was born February 22, 1806. On coming to Lorain County General Boynton acquired a large tract of wild land in Russia Township. It is said that much of the land now included in that township was cleared under his superintendence and by men employed directly by him. He was a leader in thought and action in the early days, and at one time served as brigadier general of the State Militia. For the most part his years were spent in farming, and he died in September, 1871. His wife passed away on the old homestead in Russia Township January 27, 1840.
  
  Judge Boynton is a product of pioneer circumstances of the old fashioned common schools and into his character were instilled much of the fine spirit that went with the building of homes and the clearing up of the wilderness district. While the hard work of a farm was his portion as a boy he was naturally studious, and he brought a superior judgment to every task. He attended the common schools and select schools, but gained much of his liberal education by dint of hard work with no stimulus save his own ambition. When he was only a boy the people of the community frequently remarked that "he was cut out for a lawyer." At the age of sixteen he taught his first term in a district school. From 1855 to 1857 he conducted a select school in Amherst Township. From 1857 to 1864 he served as county examiner of school teachers. In the meantime he had been industriously reading law. His director in those studies was his uncle, Elbridge Gerry Boynton, then a leading lawyer at Elyria.
  
  It was in 1856, fifty-nine years ago, that Judge Boynton was admitted to the Ohio bar. However, his work as an educator continued for a year or so longer, and he did not begin active practice until 1858. His first partner was L. A. Sheldon, and they were together in practice at Elyria until 1861, when General Sheldon went out as lieutenant colonel of the Forty-second Ohio Regiment and subsequently gained distinction in the Union army. Judge Boynton was soon marked for official honor. He served as prosecuting attorney of Lorain County from 1859 to 1864, and in the meantime formed a partnership with John C. Hale. Owing to ill health Judge Boynton gave up his practice for one winter and lived in Minneapolis during that time, until he had sufficiently recuperated to resume his work in Lorain County.
  
  His next partnership was with Laertes B. Smith, and their relationship continued for several years. It was interrupted when Governor Rutherford B. Hayes, afterwards President, appointed Mr. Boynton judge of the Common Pleas Court for the second subdivision for the Fourth Judicial District. His appointment came February 9, 1869, and he retired from the firm of Boynton & Smith and held his position on the Common Pleas Bench from 1869 to 1877. His district comprised the counties of Lorain, Medina and Summit. It was his splendid work as a common pleas judge that brought his qualifications to wider renown when on February 9, 1877, he took his seat on the Supreme Bench of Ohio. He had been elected to that office in October, 1876. For nearly five years he was one of the able members of that tribunal, and every well read lawyer in the state is familiar with some of his clear, crisp opinions delivered from that bench.
  
  It was ill health that compelled Judge Boynton to retire from the Supreme Court in November, 1883, and small compensation for his work, and he soon afterwards located in the City of Cleveland. There he at once took rank with the ablest attorneys of a bar second to none in the county. His law business soon taxed all his powers and he called to his aid his former associate, Judge John C. Hale, who resigned from the Common Pleas Bench to accept a partnership in Cleveland. The law firm of Boynton & Hale had few peers during its existence at Cleveland. In 1888 Norton T. Horr was admitted to the firm, which then became Boynton, Hale & Horr. In 1892 Judge Hale retired to accept a place as judge of the Circuit Court. The firm of Boynton & Horr handled the extensive business of the firm until January 1, 1897. Since then Judge Boynton has given his services as a special counsel and trial attorney in a number of the most important law cases settled before the Ohio and Federal courts. However, he no longer considers himself an active lawyer and he may be well satisfied to enjoy that "otium cum eignitate" which the old Romans regarded as one of the best ends of a useful life.
  
  Judge Boynton, in spite of his many years of public service, has been essentially a lawyer. But he has been even more, a great and a good man. He has exercised splendid power as a speaker and pleader, and knows not only the law but also the sciences and general literature. At all times and under all circumstances he has been an honest and fearless advocate of the right. His general reading has been very extensive, and his knowledge of the affairs of the world and of the human heart has enabled him to meet with calm efficiency all the exigencies of a long career.
  
  From the time it was founded Judge Boynton has been a loyal supporter of the republican party. During 1865-67 he represented Lorain County in the State Legslature. While in that body he offered the resolution providing for the elimination of the word "white" from the franchise qualification of the state constitution. This resolution was defeated in the House on the first vote, but a similar resolution was subsequently passed by the Senate. The similar resolution was adopted after a bitter contest by the Lower House, and was presented to the people for final action in the ensuing state election. It was on this issue essentially that the democratic party in Ohio was victorious over the republicans by more than 40,000 majority, and incidentally Allen G. Thurman went to the United States Senate from Ohio.
  
  Of Judge Boynton's services as a local historian it is hardly necessary to speak here, since his direct and indirect contribution to this field have been acknowledged on other pages of this publication. In the publications of the Western Reserve Historical Society Tract No. 83 contains the historical address prepared and delivered by Judge Boynton on July 4, 1876, the American centennial anniversary. Much of his address pertains to local history in Lorain County. Judge Boynton has for over forty years been a director in the Savings Deposit Bank of Elyria and for five years served as vice president. He is well known all over the state, was for years a familiar figure in the City of Cleveland, and is still a member of the Union Club of that city.
  
  He was married December 20, 1859, at Ridgeville, Ohio, to Miss Betsey A. Terrell. She was born at North Ridgeville, Lorain County, a daughter of Ichabod and Sally Terrell. At the birthplace and home of Mrs. Boynton Judge Boynton some years ago erected an attractive country home, and he lived there until 1906. when he removed to Elyria and he and his good wife have since occupied their home on Washington Avenue in that city.
