We know Peter Drollinger of Franconia (now Philadelphia) spelled his name as Drollinger. His son Andreas or Andrew was a Drollinger who was variously was recorded as Trollinger and signed his name to the probate of Peter record as Trollinger. His marriage record was as Drollinger. Andrew's children found in the records of St Michael's Evangelical Luthern Church Germantown (also now part of Philadelphia) went to spelling the surname drollinger, Trollinger and Trullinger. This is confusing to say the least and future researchers need to be aware of this spelling quirk

WILKES-BARRE - A grieving grandmother thinks an Edwardsville housing complex shares responsibility in her grandson's murder.

And she's taking the owners to court for it.

But Margie Bloome, who has produced filings without the help of an attorney since June, recognized after a hearing Monday that she might need a little more help.

"I can't do all of that and mourn, too," she told the Times Leader.

Bloome, of Long Island, New York, lost her 26-year-old grandson Daron Rhashawn Trollinger, of Edwardsville, in a May 2012 shooting at Eagle Ridge apartments. Police said the shooting was the result of a marijuana deal gone bad.

Another Edwardsville man, George Lee Barnes, is serving a 15- to 30-year prison sentence after admitting in December 2013 to pulling the trigger.

With her grandson's admitted killer behind bars, Bloome said she felt - as the administrator of Trollinger's estate - Eagle Ridge should be held accountable as well.

She alleges that management was aware of ongoing illegal activity on the property and, in spite of this, negligently allowed lax security practices. For example, Bloome said, surveillance cameras on the premises don't work, and doors to some apartment buildings don't lock.

Conversationally, Bloome rattles off details of the case with ease. But in the concise format of a legal document, she's meeting difficulties expressing her allegations.

As Judge Tina Polachek Gartley gently informed Bloome inside a Luzerne County Courtroom on Monday, her complaint simply does not meet the requirements outlined by state Rules of Civil Procedure. The facts of her case are not where they need to be.

However, Gartley did express appreciation for the amount of "leg work" Bloome has sunk into the case and allowed her 30 more days to amend her complaint.

The judge granted the objections set forth by Laura Danks, an attorney for Eagle Ridge operator Silver Street Development Corporation. In her written objections, Danks indicates that Bloome's complaint, as Gartley agreed, fails to meet legal standards.

After the hearing, Bloome told reporters she soon will be seeking the help of the civil rights organization National Action Network.

The current language of Bloome's suit seeks $5 billion in damages.

Bloome also filed notice of her intent to sue Hilltop Apartments in Edwardsville in connection with what she alleges was a theft of Trollinger's identity. According to Bloome, someone at the apartment complex made a call requesting a replacement debit card in her grandson's name approximately five hours after he was killed.

William is identified as "William Holt Trolinger" on his death certificate by his son, John, who was the informant and would understandably know his father's middle name.

William is incorrectly referred to as William Henry Trollinger in some documents. One such example is in a newspaper article titled, YEARS GONE BY, Adam Trollinger Was The Forefather Of Trollingers In The Piedmont Area published in The Daily Times-News (Burlington, North Carolina) date Thursday, August 14, 1958 C-Section, Pages 1 and 6. In this same article, it also appears that he is incorrectly referred to as the implied nephew of his uncle General Benjamin Trollinger who actually was his brother and not uncle. This error may have been made by the author of article given the age difference between Benjamin and his seventeen year younger brother, William.

566 JACOB TROLLINGER, JR. (1798 - 1870)
&
SARAH (SALLY) JACOBS (1803 - 1849)

JACOB TROLLIBNGER, JR., was born on November 16, 1798, in George's Creek
Valley of Allegany County, Maryland. His parents were JACOB DROLLINGER,
SR., and ANNA CRISTENEY DUCKWORTH.

JACOB, JR., was born and raised on his parents' farm on Dan's Mountain in
George's Creek Valley. Little is known of youth. However, on May 21,
1823, he obtained a license to marry his first cousin, SARAH (SALLY)
JACOBS. Her parents were JACOB JACOBS and MARY SPENCER and she had been
born in Allegany County, Maryland in 1803.

Nine children were born to JACOB, JR., and SARAH. They were: EMILY, who
married AHIMAAZ JACOBS; Nimrod, who married Martha Shaw; Drucilla; Mary
Margaret, who married Cephus Duckworth; Sarah, who married Isaac Mosier;
and Ann Christina, who married Henry Funderberg. The names of the
other three are presently unknown.

JACOB, JR., followed in his father's farming footsteps in George's
Creek Valley until he became seriously afflicted with asthma. It made it
impossible for him to engage in hard labor for the next 40 years. As a
result, after SARAH died in George's Creek Vallley in about 1849 and was
apparently buried there on the family farm, JACOB, JR. accompanied his
son, Nimrod, to Bath Township in Greene County, Ohio, in 1853 and lived
with him on his prosperous farm near the hamlet of Byron.

JACOB, JR., resided with Nimrod and his family until his death on
February 13, 1870. During his lifetime, his political affiliation had
been with the Democratic Party. He was buried in the Glen Forest
Cemetery at Yellow Springs, Ohio. His grandson, Charles Oliver
Trollinger, was later buried beside him.

567 JACOB DROLLINGER (TROLLINGER), SR. (1755 - 1831)
&
ANN CRISTENEY DUCKWORTH (1764 - 1840)

REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER

JACOB DROLLINGER, SR., was of German ancestory, his parent being GABRIEL
DROLLINGER and ANNA MARGARETHA LOTTHOLTZ. Both of them had been born in Germany and had immigrated to the United States in 1743. JACOB, one of
their 12 children, was born in Mannington Township of Salem County, New
Jersey, in 1755, and was probably baptised there in the nearby Cohansey
Lutheran Church at Alloway, as his older brothers and sisters had been.

When JACOB was about a year old, his parents moved to a farm in Pennsneck
Township of Salem County, New Jersey, where the family attended the
nearby Swedish Lutheran Church and five more children were born to his
parents. There JACOB grew into his teens. In fact, when he was almost
twenty, he married ANN CRISTENEY DUCKWORTH there in January 1778. She was
the daughter of AARON and ELIZABETH DUCKWORTH and had been born in New
Jersey on August 14, 1764.

Then when the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776, many of its battles
were fought in New Jersey, which caused great concern to JACOB and his brother, GABRIEL. Eventually, in about 1778, GABRIEL and JACOB moved their families to a safer area in East Pennsboro Township of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, located on
the west bank of the Susquehana River near Harrisburg.

The records indicate that JACOB was taxed there L 15.0.0 as a freeman by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1780, L 40.0.0 in 1781 and L 2.10.0 in 1782.
Pennsylvania Archive records indicate that JACOB served as a private in
the 8th Class, 3rd Company, 3rd Battalion of the Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, Militia under the command of Captain Jno McCarnick, as shown
on the roll call of March 14, 1781 and April 1781.

Subsequently, JACOB and ANN moved to George's Creek Valley in Allegany
County, Maryland, in about 1788 and purchased land there. In fact, in
Scharf's History of Western Maryland, JACOB is listed among the early
settlers who had located on lands lying to the west of Fort Cumberland,
Maryland, in 1788. Among the others were his brothers-in-law, WILLIAM
JACOBS and SAMUEL JACKSON. His brother, GABRIEL DROLLINGER, may have come a year later.

Maryland land records reveal that JACOB received a patent to 50-acre
Lot No. 3793 on May 8, 1798. He had been awarded this lot as a
settler and in accordance with the terms of an 1787 resolution of the
Maryland general assembly by the land commissioners after he had paid
the purchase price of the lot to the treasurer of the Western Shore of
Maryland. That same day, JACOB purchased adjoining Lot No. 3794. These
were adjacent to Lot No. 3795, purchased five years later by his
brother-in-law, WILLIAM JACOBS. Later, JACOB's brother, GABRIEL,
purchased nearby Lot No. 3731 in 1803. Later GABRIEL sold this lot to
JACOB in 1808.

Then on January 11, 1819, JACOB received a patent to a 36-1/2 acre tract
called "The Walnut Hill." It was due north on the northwest side of
George's Creek, and adjacent Lot No. 3937, which his brother, GABRIEL,
had patented on November 16, 1803.

Little is known of the marriage of JACOB and ANN, except that they
were blessed with 13 children, namely: Elizabeth, Catherine, Mathalene
(Mary), Rosanna, Anna, Lydia, Samuel, JACOB, JR., George S., Sarah, Ann
Cristeney, Joseph M. and Cenea.

It is known that JACOB served on the Allegany County Grand Jury in 1802.
Also, he owned and operated a substantial farm and also a still house
in George's Creek Valley. He died there on November 30, 1831, after
attaining a comfortable financial independence and a well-regarded
standing in the community. ANN served as the administrator of his
his estate. An apprasal of his personal property was set at 643 pound
and 19 shillings on October 24, 1831. His estate was divided in 1833
and his wife, ANN, and his 11 children who had reached adulthood, or their
heirs.

ANN followed JACOB in death on July 17, 1840. Both were buried on Dan's Mountain
Allegany County, Maryland.

568 Rhoda Jacobs was the last child born to GABRIEL JACOBSand MARGARET
JACKSON. She was born on the family farm on Dan's Mountainoverlooking
the George's Creek Valley area of Allegany County, Maryland.
Rhoda married her first cousin, Jeremiah Miller, on September26, 1848, in
Allegany County, Maryland. Born on March 16, 1826, in thevillage
of Bedford in Bedford County, Maryland, he was the son of herfather's
sister Catherine Jacobs, who had married John Miller in 1809.Two
children were born to them while in Allegany County, namely:Jane in 1849
and Amanda in 1852.
Rhoda and Jeremiah moved to Ogle County, Illinois, in 1853,where they
obtained 565 acres of land in Section 13. There six morechildren were
born to them: Mary L. in 1855, Rachel in 1859, Austin in 1861,Jesse in
1864, Isaac in 1866 and Lillie in 1869.
Jeremiah died in the town of Adeline in Ogle County, Illiois,on October
5, 1903. Rhoda followed him in death there on March 11, 1914.

569 Allen Noggle was the right age to serve in the Civil War, but evidently he did not. He does not appear on the lists prepared by the Ohio adjutant general, nor is he listed in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System database, and he didn't live long enough to answer the service-related question on the 1910 census. There is something else curious about Allen. He went from being a reasonably prosperous farmer with $4,000 in real estate in 1870 to being a butcher in 1880 and then a day laborer in 1900. His brother William had a similar career path, but his pecuniary situation may be explained by his disabilities after the war and his having to provide for seven children. Allen seems not to have those excuses, although he did die of consumption. Further confusion comes because his death certificate, four years after the 1900 census, says he is a merchant. Perhaps the mix-up occurred because Allen and Celia's daughter Mable's family was living with them and son-in-law Alvin Miller was a market salesman.
There is the additional conundrum of why Allen's father made a point of stating in his will that when his wife died all the property both real and personal was to be divided among his children or their heirs "excepting Cecilia Noggle - to her I bequeath $2." Based on Celia's age in 1870, she was only 17 when she and Allen were married, but surely the disinheritance was based on something other than her youth. All the more reason for a thorough examination of the records in the Darke County courthouse, library, and historical society.
After Allen's death Celia lived as a boarder with in her widowed daughter Mable's hotel in Bradford, Miami County, Ohio. Bradford straddles the Miami and Darke county line about 20 miles from Allen and Celia's last known residence in New Madison. Facts in the census imply that Mable owned the hotel: she is listed as an employer with a partner Mae Hapner. Mae's husband is listed as "husband to partner." Yet, Mable's house is a rental. Mable and Celia are listed as the mothers of two children, two living. Celia had three children; did she forget about John who had died nearly 40 years before? And Mable had two girls in 1900, Corrine who was 10 and Gannell G., 4. Now she has a girl Grace, 14 and boy Donald, 2. With several contradictions the possibility of enumerator errors must be considered, but there are too many curiosities to ignore.
Celia's death date is currently unknown. She was not found on the 1920 Ancestry.com Census Index in either Miami or Darke counties. Add the records in nearby Miami County to the accumulating list of research objectives for an onsite visit to Darke County. The cemetery transcriptions done by Short and Bowers did not include any tombstone listings for Allen or Celia. There is one for their son John in the First Universalist Church Cemetery, but his death was in 1871, soon after his Grandfather John Noggle was buried there. By the time Allen died, another cemetery may be the one the family used more frequently. Records in the county may reveal their resting places.

570 Jared was named for his mother's brother Jared Chapman, a physician in St. Joseph County, Indiana, and the spelling of his name was sometimes mangled in the records. In his father's 1870 household, he's listed as "Jerrold;" his marriage record lists him as "Jerrod." However it was spelled, he farmed all his life in his Wills Township birth place, marrying rather late for a Drollinger, at almost 31. He married Amanda Jarrell a year after his younger brother Erastus married her younger sister Mary Alice. Jared, as the oldest son of Gabriel still living in the county, administered his father's estate and when his mother died, he and his brother Quinby brokered the equitable settlement of the family squabbles that occurred after the reading of their mother's quirky will. All the heirs received an equal amount of cash and Jared and Quinby bought out their siblings' shares of the lands. Jared, and Quinby, too, was intimately familiar with the land, having farmed it for his father for some time. Jared's listing in the Mill Creek 1902 directory notes his 273 acres and assessed value of personal property $57.
Amanda died 16 March 1923, four years before Jared, after an illness of a year. Their bachelor son Clarence, 39 years old, was still living at home in 1920 and was farming the home property which freed Jared to look after Amanda. An aura of mystery surrounds the family. After Jared died on 23 April 1927, it took his sons Clarence and Walter six months to apply for letters of administration. The estate was not closed until 1943 when Clarence and Walter, the only heirs, signed off. There was virtually no personal estate, but there were 5 parcels of land totaling nearly 254 acres with an appraised value of some $10,000. There is no indication in the probate file that there were problems that would cause the estate to take some 16 years to settle. Amanda and Jared were buried in in Sauktown Cemetery, LaPorte County, Indiana, as were their sons, Clarence in 1956, Walter in 1977.

571 John and Nancy were just 19 when they went to the courthouse to get their marriage license on 9 March 1870. No marriage return was recorded and it is not known if there was no return or if the clerk neglected to enter it. The census taken in June lists them as married with in the year and that John had $250, but no real estate. There was a seven year old boy living with them by the name of Stephen Clark. Of course, the relationship is not stated, but he is no doubt related to Nancy, nee Clark, in some way.
As with all the Noggle boys, there is a mystery concerning John. With the exception of George who late in life moved over the county line to Indiana, none of the Noggles of this family were known to live any where but Darke County. So it was a complete surprise to recently find John and Nancy living in Ellis County, Texas, in 1880. They had only been in Texas a few months because baby Blanche was born the previous October in Ohio. Assuming they would not travel in the winter with a new baby, a 15 month old toddler, and three other children under 9, they probably settled in Texas in April or May. With them is James Clark, a 19-year-old nephew, who is working on the farm. Is he the Stephen Clark of the 1870 census? Did John buy a farm in Ellis County? What attracted him to Texas? Further more, why did he leave and when? The 1900 census suggests that John and Nancy returned to Darke County within two years because in 1900 they were enumerated in Butler Township with two more children - born in Ohio, Maud in August 1882 and Ellie, born June 1886. Their widowed daughter Kate Brown and her children Ralph and Birdie lived with them, too.
John seemed to have given up farming and was now a"commissioner." But for what governmental entity was he a commissioner? His father and his brother George had been mayors of New Madison, which also had commissioners. County governments had commissioners, too. Although John owns a mortgage-free house not a farm, he is not living in a town. Again, more records in Darke County must be checked to illuminate areas of John's life. A search of extant newspapers is warranted, not only to check for election information referring to commissioners in 1900, but also for township news in the period when John traveled to Texas and back.
John's death date has not been ascertained, nor is it known where he is buried. He died sometime after the 1900 census, but before the 1910 when Nancy was a widow sharing a rented home with her daughter Blanch near her brother-in-law David Noggle's widow Rosanna. Nancy and John started their married life living next door to David and Rosanna, so theirs was a long standing friendship. Ten years later,Nancy had moved to Main Street in New Madison and lived with her niece Edith (Banks) Shelley or the Shelleys lived with her. Nancy owned her home and is listed as head of a family although after the Shelleys and with no separate house number. The Shelleys were renting, implying that they were renting from Nancy.
Another ten years went by in Nancy's widowhood and she still lived on Main Street where her house was worth $2,500. There seems to be some confusion as to whether or not Nancy is living alone; the census taker erased whatever was in the dwelling and family columns and entered question marks instead and Nancy was listed as a "head."But there is no break in the dwelling and family numbers between Charles and Pearl Roberts at number 87 and George and Verna Brown,number 88. Nancy with question marks is between them. Nancy, or someone, answered that her age at first marriage at 21. The marriage was so very long ago, and she has been widowed nearly as long as she was married, she may not remember that she was only 19. The Shelleys now lived with Edith's widowed mother Catherine Banks and her bachelor son Clifford, seven houses away. Like John, Nancy's death date andplace of burial are yet to be discovered.

572 Sometime between the fall of 1873 when their son Charles was born in La Porte and spring of 1876 when son Burton was born in Kansas, Joseph and La Vanchee succumbed to the lure of land in the west. It is likely that they moved to Harvey County, Kansas, in the spring or summer of 1874 or 1875. If they arrived before the devastating grasshopper infestation in the summer of 1874, they must have wondered if they had made the right decision. If they arrived with cash after the crops were ruined and many settlers were forced to leave, they may have been able to purchase land at reduced prices. The grasshopper invasion came after a year of drought and ruined many settlers. "On the 7th day of August 1874 these little red-legged engines of destruction, made their first appearance in Harvey County, coming in such numbers as to literally blot out the sun, giving the impression of low-flying, gray black clouds being blown swiftly from the northwest. They came very suddenly and entirely unannounced. For two days they continued coming over the solid 'mass-formation,' until they all found a place to light. Then the wholesale destruction commenced and continued for two or three days. At the end of that time every stalk of corn, and every vestige of vegetation that was green enough for them to eat simply was not, it did not exist!" Entire counties were barren of vegetation. The ensuing poverty among farmers was swift and those who could left. However, bountiful crops in 1875 rewarded those who remained and prosperity returned.
Whenever they arrived, the Drollingers were pioneers. The very first settlers were ahead of them by only a few years and cattlemen and farmers still battled over open range versus fences. This was the very wild West where gunfights could explode when liquored up cowboys argued. But the Drollingers never left, living in Harvey or adjoining Sedgwick County the rest of their lives. So far, the records are silent on the Drollingers participation in the issues of their time or even on their land purchases and distributions. The revealing land, tax, and court records have been inaccessible, but some deductions can be made from the few records available.
It appears that the Drollingers remained a rural family, never moving to town. In 1880 they lived in Macon Township, Harvey County. When Joseph's father's estate was settled in 1889, Joseph was living in Newton, Harvey County, Kansas. Joseph's death certificate says that he died of paralysis at a place 5 1/2 miles southeast of Wichita, but that he previously lived 14 years in Newton, Harvey County. The 1900 census places him on his farm in Minneha township, Sedgwick County. That township, " the very best in the county," is southeast of Wichita. A 1915 list of landowners shows a J. C. Drollinger owner of 390 acres with a total value of $22,000. Eighty of the acres are in Wichita Township, three hundred ten in Minneha Township. The list can be sorted by township, so it is possible to determine the neighbors and then compare them with the 1900, 1910, and 1920 censuses. There does not appear to be a match in the 1900 census. None of the neighbors are those who are listed as landowners in the same sections as the J. C. Drollinger on the 1915 list. Joseph died in 1907 and La Vanchee lived with her son Earnest in Wichita Township, Sedgwick, in 1910 and again there does not appear to be a match. However, there is the suggestion of a match in the 1920 census with two surnames that surround J. C. Drollinger in section 30 of township 27 south range 1east surrounding Earnest and La Vanchee. With Joseph dead by 1915, presumably the land would be in probate or distributed to the heirs unless the land is in La Vanchee's name, too, and the compiler did not leave room in the database name field for more than one name. Another piece of evidence that might bear on this is that in 1910 Earnest was a milk man, but he owned a mortgaged farm. By 1920 he owned his farm free and clear and was farming. It appears on the surface that he may have ended up with part of his father's acreage in exchange for the care of his mother. Again, unavailable records stymie the search.
What is certain is that La Vanchee died 16 November 1925 of stomach cancer and was buried next to Joseph in Section H, lot 2, in the Maple Grove Cemetery, Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. Also in this plot are their sons Granville, J. Orville, and Earnest A., as well as Orville's wife Victoria and an Evelyn Drollinger who may be a wife of Granville or Earnest.

574 Ida Elizabeth Pahlke, a resident of Boulder for 63 years who was known for her welcoming arms and welcoming heart, died last month of the inevitable effects of 101 years of living. When Elizabeth, as she preferred to be called, was born in Hastings, Nebraska, to Charles Edward Yost and Clara Mary Yost (Drollinger) on February 25, 1919, the Spanish flu pandemic still raged around the world. Perhaps Elizabeth's survival of that first pandemic and of a later infection with smallpox were early signs of the resilience that would sustain her through a life that included earning a living by teaching, farming, and running a laundry; raising five children and losing one; enduring multiple joint replacements and congestive heart failure; celebrating the births of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; and suffering the loss of so many friends and relatives over the long years of a century.

Before she was five, Elizabeth and her white pony, Snowball, were all over the place, tagging after her father and brother. But when she got old enough to attend the local country school, she rode the two and a half miles on a feistier pony named Daisy, a daily trip that produced a story that Elizabeth enjoyed relating to the pampered youth of later generations. "I knew Daisy was afraid of train noise, so I went back to my friend Betty's house a little ways from the crossing and planned to stay there until the train moved on. Big Brother [Edward] told me to go on. He thought I'd stay too long playing. As I neared the track, the engine blew off steam and Daisy took off on a dead run. All I could do was hang on the reins and mane. As I neared the highway, I prayed there would be no cars and Daisy would slow down. But, no she kept on at a fast run, but she did stay on the gravel shoulder on the left side of the road. She slowed a bit but I still couldn't get control. She turned up the driveway and, wonder of wonders, stopped at the house gate so I slid off and let her go to the barn."

Moving from country school to high school was something of a shock for Elizabeth. From being in a class with only 2 students she moved to a class with more than 100. Country kids were placed wherever there was room, so she ended up "with a bunch of jocks," in spite of having tested at the top on her exams. By tenth grade, though, she was with more like-minded students in pre-college classes, studying Latin, Government, History, Advanced Math, and Journalism. Elizabeth didn't have money for the dues and formals of the Job's Daughters activities that her friends enjoyed, but, as she


said, "I was involved in 4-H, [so] I didn't feel underprivileged."

After high school graduation, Elizabeth attended Hastings College, living at home until, with work study earnings, she was able to get a room in town. With that move, she was able to have a bit more social life and made some good friends among the people she worked with at the library. Originally, she planned to begin teaching after two years of college but, thanks partly to her leadership in 4-H, she won a full tuition scholarship between her sophomore and junior years, and was able to finish college, cum laude, with a double major in Education and Home Economics. That was in 1941, a few months before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Many years later, we sat with Elizabeth as she turned the pages of her college yearbook, pointing out the pictures of all the boys who died in the war.

After teaching for a time at Juniata, a few miles from her home town of Hastings, Elizabeth took a job as a Home Economics General Science teacher at Sutherland. After two years there, she moved with her parents to California, and taught 30 first-graders in Coachella.

In October, 1945, Henry Pahlke, a man she had known in Nebraska, came out to visit her and proposed marriage. Elizabeth accepted, and after a June, 1946, wedding in California, the new couple moved back to Nebraska. As she put it, "I said I'd never be a farmer's wife, [but] never say never." Indeed, the couple farmed for the rest of the 1940s and into the 1950s, moving from place to place around Nebraska and having children as they went. Their final move, though, was to Boulder, Colorado, where they hoped that the better climate would alleviate son David's asthma, and that a new occupation would alleviate the financial struggles that came with farming. Elizabeth and Henry bought a laundry business, the "Launderette," located on Pearl Street, and, after a few years, a house located a block from Mapleton Elementary.

And the family continued to grow. Elizabeth told a story of sitting one Sunday in a church pew and suddenly

realizing, "Oh, gosh! I'm pregnant again," with, as it turned out, a daughter. After four boys, finally a daughter! That completed her immediate family, but because the house was always open to the friends of the five children, she never knew how many plates to set for supper before actually counting noses. With Mrs. Pahlke, kids knew that they had found a safe harbor.

When the Pearl Street Mall was built in Boulder, the owner of the rented building that housed the laundry decided to sell, leaving no place for Elizabeth and Henry to conduct their business. Not knowing just what to do, they first auctioned off the laundry equipment, then found a different laundry for sale in Brighton. In that new location, thanks to the men working locally on oil pipelines, they had a better business than in Boulder. As Elizabeth said, "We managed."

About 1980, they sold the business in Brighton. "We never did make a lot of money [off the business], but we managed to keep you kids going." That they certainly did. Partly because their investments were beginning to pay off, but mostly because the children were no longer sponging off their parents for college expenses, Elizabeth and Henry were finally able to retire.

Even as a young college student, Elizabeth had taught Sunday school, so becoming an active member of the Methodist Church after moving to Boulder was a natural continuation of her faith. As she contributed to the church, the church gave back, providing Elizabeth and Henry with friendships that they maintained for the rest of their lives. Elizabeth was an active member of UMW Circles at both the First United Methodist Church and at Mountain View United Methodist Church, and of P.E.O, which she attended well into her 101st year.

In retirement, and with the kids gone, the big house on Maxwell Avenue began to feel more like a liability, so Elizabeth and Henry sold it in 1999 and moved two miles across town to an independent living facility for seniors called "The Atrium." Living there, Elizabeth remained sharp as a tack, positive, social and engaged with

the world, even in a time of life and a place where loneliness can be hard to avoid. Well into her 80s and 90s, she went on cruises and traveled with her friends and daughter, carefully compiling albums to memorialize each trip.

But the effects of time cannot be forestalled forever. In 2012, Elizabeth, by then 93 years old and a widow for 10 years, moved another mile into the Sunrise assisted living facility. There she enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles, cryptoquotes, and crossword puzzles, and, with somewhat less pleasure, she learned to use tablet computers and cellphones. Perhaps we can attribute her active mind to the dozens and dozens of books she read each year. She also continued her work with P.E.O., recruiting candidates to take advantage of scholarships provided by the organization. As the many staff members, care givers, friends, and relatives who knew Elizabeth over the years will attest, this generous spirit was typical--she was always friendly, she was always kind.

Elizabeth lived a long time, long enough to welcome three great grandchildren, including one named in her honor. But she could not live forever, and her life now passes into family history. Her's is a full and rich story, but a story cannot fill our hearts as her presence once did.

Ida Elizabeth Yost Pahlke, born 1919, died 2020; predeceased by her brother Edward Yost, sister Jessie Lundeen, husband Henry Pahlke, and son Donald Pahlke; survived by children David Pahlke (Rebecca Voris), Loren Pahlke (Carol), Keith Pahlke (Sandra), and Catherine Eliasen (Jerry); grandchildren Galen Pahlke, Eric Pahlke, Gina Pahlke (Matthew McConnell), Paige Higgins (Jon), Jacob Pahlke, Anna Eliasen, and Emily Eliasen; great grandchildren Corbin McConnell, Avery Higgins, and Thea McConnell.

Although Elizabeth was born during one pandemic and left us in the middle of another, the true signpost of her life is the love she gave during the intervening century. To honor her memory, the family suggests donations to the P.E.O. Foundation, so that the women it helps can continue to grow the love that formed the core of Elizabeth's life. Make checks payable to the "P.E.O. Foundation" and mail them to "P.E.O. Foundation, 2700 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA, 50312." Please indicate "Continuing Education" on the memo line.

A memorial service will be held when the current pandemic ends. Until then, fight sadness with grace and spread love with service. That is what Elizabeth would want us to do.

576 Elizabeth was born in Norfolk, VA, at 724 Park Ave. The house in which she was born is no longer there, the neighborhood having been demolished when Norfolk State University was built. She was the fifth child born to Thomas Henry and Maude Adams Little, having three brothers and one sister. At a young age she was upset that she was the only one in the family who did not have a middle name. Her father told her she could chose any name she wanted. She chose the name Anne which was not legally recorded but has always been used as a legal name. Elizabeth was baptized at 7 years of age at Park Ave. Baptist Church. She and her sister, Eleanor, were baptized by immersion at the same time on Easter 1930.
Her family moved to another area of Norfolk in 1931 and she became a member of Park Place Baptist Church where she would grow in her spiritual life and become involved in youth ministry. She graduated from Maury High School in June 1941 and accepted a secretarial position with the District Office of the Prudential Insurance Company of America. She was to advance in her positions with Prudential for the next 14 years achieving the position of Asst. Office Supervisor until her resignation in October 1955.
Elizabeth had long felt God's call to a Christian vocation but because of her mother's long term illness and death of her father, she had not been able to pursue preparation for ministry.
She had begun night classes at the Norfolk Division, College of William and Mary even while working at Prudential. After her mother's death in June 1954, she left Prudential to become a
part-time Educational/Youth Director at Burrows Memorial Baptist Church near the college campus. She was able to complete her Associate in Arts requirement as well as gain invaluable experience in local and state Baptist Youth work. In January 1956, she accepted a call to Keen St. Baptist Church in Danville, Va. as Educational Director. In January 1957, she felt the need for more educational preparation and was admitted to the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. which she attended until May 1959. During her Seminary years she was on the staff of Crescent Hill Baptist Church, Louisville, serving as Pastor's Secretary. It was at Crescent Hill Church that she was to meet Daniel Trollinger whom she married on August 8, 1959. They had two children, Elizabeth Allison Trollinger and Daniel Thomas Trollinger.

In July 1970, Dan was transferred to Columbia, MD. and the young family began a new life in a new city. Elizabeth became active in Church activities, first at Columbia Baptist Fellowship, then, at First Presbyterian Church of Howard County where she served as President of the Presbyterian Women's group and later, as an ordained Elder with responsibilities for Mission and Membership. She returned to work part-time as a Welcome Caller for the Columbia Association, calling on new residents and offering support and information about the new city. In 1976 she started working as a part-time circulation employee at the Howard County Library and later became a full-time employee advancing to Circulation Supervisor position from which she retired in November 1987.

In her retirement years, she took training to be a Chaplaincy Associate and Patient Representative at Howard County General Hospital visiting patients with spiritual needs and other support needs.
She has been active in all phases of Church life at First Presbyterian Church. A special interest of hers was the Church Prayer Tree and Ministry to the sick.

593 GABRIEL JACOBS was born on July 7, 1781, on a farm in East Pennsboro Township of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. This was three months before British General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington at Yorktown, essentially ending the Revolutionary War. In about 1788, when he was seven years old, GABRIEL accompanied his parents, WILLIAM JACOBS and ELIZABETH TROLLINGER, and his brothers and sisters, when they moved from the East Pennsboro Township farm to George's Creek Hundred area of Allegany (then Washington) County, Maryland, near the present town of Lonaconing, Maryland. There the family settled on the slopes of Dan's Mountain. There were no public schools in George's Creek Valley at the time so GABRIEL learned his "Three R's" from his parents on the farm. It was not until 1810 that the first school in the area was founded by Reverend William Shaw. It functioned as a private school without tax support. When GABRIEL was 21, he married his first cousin, MARGARET JACKSON, who had been born on April 27, 1782, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. She daughter of SAMUEL JACKSON and MARGARETHA (MARGARET) DROLLINGER (TROLLINGER). MARGARETHA AND ELIZABETH TROLLINGER were sisters. The marriage was performed by Reverend Wiilliam Shaw on November 21, 1805, in his little Methodist church in George's Creek Valley. He was best described as a circuit-riding preacher who served many small back-country congregations in the mountain area. GABRIEL obtained no license to marry MARGARET, as none were required in Maryland at the time. GABRIEL and MARGARET were blessed by twelve children, namely: Elizabeth, Mary, Samuel L., Sarah, Jacob, Barbary (Barbara), Enos, Dorcas, AHIMAAZ, Jesse, Cephas (Cephus) and Rhoda. All reached adulthood except Jacob, who died at the age of about 15 months. In his youth, GABRIEL liked carpentry and intended to pursue it as a career. But as he grew older he turned his talents toward agriculture. Then as the result of a special original warrant obtained on November 25, 1804, by him for 15 acres of land, which he was able to have compounded, he was granted 85-1/8 acres of Maryland State-owned land on November 13, 1805. This land was on the northeast side of Dan's Mountain in the George's Creek Valley area of Allegany County. It was about two miles east of the present-day town of Lonaconing. GABRIEL promptly named it "Mount Gabriel." He received a patent to this land on November 10, 1813, after paying 5 pound, 13 shillings and one penny half penny for it. Later he sold this tract of land to James Dye on May 4, 1844, for $500. However, the deed was not recorded until October 5, 1864, some 16 years after GABRIEL'S death, when his heirs finally sold his various lands. It is interesting to note how the boundaries of this tract of land were described. The deed read, in part, "Beginning at a bounded white oak tree standing on the northwest side of Dan's Mountain - - - to a bounded black oak tree; then by a straight line to the beginning." Later, on August 17, 1815, GABRIEL JACOBS purchased 200 acres of land a mile west of the present village of Lonaconing and described on the maps of the day as Lots 3726, 3732 and 3942, He paid William Ayers $600 for this land, which known as "Mount Pisgah." The deed for it was recorded on October 7, 1815. Then on January 3, 1816, GABRIEL JACOBS purchased part of a lot in the Mount Pisgah area plus adjacent lot 3942, totaling about 200 acres, from John and Mary Rankin "and other" for $600. The Rankins had moved westward to Ross County, Ohio, and sold this land to GABRIEL through land agents. Finally, on September 18, 1825, GABRIEL was granted an additional 30 acres of undeveloped government land, which he named "Mount Michael." It was adjacent to his "Mount Gabriel" lots. After GABRIEL'S father, WILLIAM, died in 1816, his estate was held by his widow, ELIZABETH and her children. However, after ELIZABETH died in 1833, GABRIEL released his 1/9th interest in his parents' estate for $25 so that it could be sold to William Shaw, the son of Reverend Shaw, in 1843. Meanwhile, GABRIEL'S father-in-law, SAMUEL JACKSON, died on May 27, 1833, leaving a 236 3/4-acre farm on Dan's Mountain, known locally as "Timothy Level," to his heirs. As the executor of SAMUEL's will, GABRIEL decided to rent the farm out to one of SAMUEL JACKSON'S neighbors for a period of several years and distributed the income among the heirs, including his own wife, MARGARET. However, on December 9, 1835, GABRIEL bought out the share owned by SAMUEL JACKSON'S son, Joseph Jackson, and his wife, Mary, for $225. At the time, they were living in Vermillion County, Illinois. Then on March 31, 1836, GABRIEL bought out the share of heir Jacob Jackson and his wife, Elizabeth, for $225. At the time they were residing in Perry County, Ohio. An item of interest is the fact that GABRIEL was appointed as an appraiser of the estate of his friend and neighbor, Samuel Ayers, after he died in 1843. After GABRIEL JACOBS' death in 1848, the estate of SAMUEL JACKSON was was turned over to an attorney named Thomas J. McKaig, who sold it to the Big Parker Vein Coal Company for $71,000 in 1854, after the discovery of tremendous coal deposits in the area.

GABRIEL'S will, made out on September 13, 1847, was witnessed by his neighbors Moses, David and Salim Ayers. In it, he specified "I bequeath unto my wife MARGARET JACOBS to have and to hold the farm, the house, and the stock with the farming utensils, household and kitchen furniture to have and to hold for her maintenance during her lifetime and when she is dead and the funeral charges are paid I request that my lands and goods be sold and that an equal distribution be made of the proceeds and an equal division made among my eleven children." He also added, "Now there will be found among my papers accounts against some of the heirs with their names appended thereto which will be laid against those that have their names appended to the accounts." Gabriel named his sons, AHIMAAZ and Jesse, as executors of his will. Of interest from an inflation viewpoint, is that they valued "3 milch cows & 1 bull" at $25.00, "1 bay mare and 2 spring colts" at $70.00; "1 family bible" at $1.00 and "1 old coffee mill" at $0.06. In all, his personal property was valued at $816.65. His real property was listed as consisting of 200 acres known as "Mount Pisgah" and valued at $2,000, plus another tract of over 236 acres known as "Timonthy Level" and valued at $2,700, for a total of $4,700. In addition, notes were due to GABRIEL in the amount of $893.81. Upon GABRIEL'S death on October 11, 1848, he was buried in the old Green Cemetery near the present town of Lonaconing, Maryland. On his tombstone was carved "Gone To Meet My God." He was buried beside his friend, and his father's brother-in-law, SAMUEL JACKSON. The will was probated on November 14, 1848 Then on December 22, 1852, his wife, MARGARET, and his children: Samuel, AHIMAAZ, Jesse, Cephas, Dorcas, Rhoda, Elizabeth and Mary sold GABRIEL'S three-fifth interest in the 236 3/4 acre farm, called "Timothy Level," to Michael P. O'Hern for $18,000. Following this, on September 13, 1856, GABRIEL'S daughter, Dorcas, and her husband, Jacob Koontz, who at the time were living in Ogle County, Illinois, sold their interest in GABRIEL'S "Mount Pisgah" to her brother, Samuel, for $3,000. Then on September 3, 1862, GABRIEL'S daughter, Barbary, and her husband Abraham Isehhart, sold their interest in "Mount Pisgah" for $600. In accordance with his wishes, GABRIEL JACOBS' "Home Place" farm on Dan's Mountain, formerly called "Mount Pisgah," was later sold to Henry H. Porter in 1864. Each of the eleven heirs sold their share for $1, 755.98. Meanwhile, GABRIEL'S widow, MARGARET, had decided to move westward to MiamiTownship in Greene County, Ohio, to live near her son, AHIMAAZ, who had purchased a farm near Yellow Springs, and her grandchildren. There she purchased 23 acres of land in section 25 from Charles Ohlwine for $2,100 on October 4, 1853. One of the highlights of MARGARET'S life at Yellow Springs came when her son, Samuel L. Jacobs, from Ogle County, Illinois, and his wife, Elizabeth Coffman, visited her in 1854 or 1855. With them they brought her 10-year old grandson, Henry Clay Jacobs. In fact, he stayed with her and attended the Horace Mann School at Yellow Springs while they went on eastward to visit friends and relatives in Maryland and Virginia. When MARGARET JACOBS died near Yellow Springs on October 20, 1855, she was buried in the Glen Forest Cemetery in Yellow Springs. (Note: I found her grave there in Lot 1034 in June 1993. The top of her headstone was broken off and missing. I hope to have to have it repaired in 1994.)

He was a farmer of sterling integrity, who loved his home and his ownkindred intensely, and in whom this love of his own people led to adeep and passionate feeling of patriotism toward the people of hisstate and his native land. To an elder son, who in the fall of 1863,advised him to invest his Confederate money in cotton, tobacco, coal,real estate, and anything else which had intrinsic and continuousvalue,' he said: 'That is good business but it is not patriotic, andhe declined to take action which would reflect upon the credit of thestate and the Confederacy. After the surrender of both Lee andJohnston, although an old man, he volunteered to go to the Trans-Mississippi Region, to 'fight it out to the last ditch. He never heldpublic office, and never sought it. Trusted by his neighbors, he wasmade administrator of several estates, performing his duties admirablyand to the profit of those in whose interest he had been entrustedwith the administratorship. . . .''
