    Joseph was the first grandson and reportedly the favorite of his grandfather “red Joe.” “Red Joe” willed his farmstead to Joseph. Joseph was first named Ben but Grandma Barbara gave his mother Mary a dollar and said, “Papa said you should name the baby Joe.” So for a dollar his name was changed. Joseph was a successful farmer. As his grandfather had done, he also acquired additional land which he gave his children. His marriage to Ida Foster produced four children Sons Harvey, Maurice and Lloyd were all farmers. Area Belsly said Harvey had a saw mill which he ran without assistance from others. He could cultivate corn all day with a single cultivator pulled by a mule—he felt that tractor cultivators put too much dirt around the plants. He and his wife Maud lived to celebrate their seventy-second wedding anniversary. After retiring, Maurice and his wife Maggie loved to fish. They had three ponds on their farm which were stocked with catfish. Joseph and Ida had one daughter, Verna. Both she and Lloyd suffered from tuberculosis. Lloyd passed away from the disease but Verna survived it. Verna is the chief Belsly historian in the United States. It was she who discovered our relatives in France and started the correspondence with them. At eighty-three years, she still works at the Et Cetera Shop in Eureka one day a week, makes quilts and does fancywork. She is a tall lady in height and stature and reflects the proud tradition of the Belsly family.

    Notes:

    Christian Belsly, as described by grandson Louis Phillips (in an unpublished ms. later included in John Robert Belsly’s “The Descendants of Joseph “Red Joe” Belsly”)

    When I saw “I Remember Mama” some years ago I thought of our Chris. It seemed to me his philosophy of life should be put in print to be remembered over the years. Chris was my grandfather, my mother’s father. That does not lend anything to his stature but it may perhaps explain some of the peculiar things that I do once in a while.

    Chris’ father “red Joe” lived to see his section of the country well settled and wealthy and he did much to bring about the change. He came here poor but at the time of his death was one of the wealthiest farmers in the country. This of course was all during the early life of Christ but it had much to do to make its mark upon his life. He soon began to realize that from the possessions his father had he wouldn’t have to work and at the early age of eighteen he decided that a life of leisure was what he should have. “Red Joe’ would have Chris get up every morning and run down to the barn and pump water for the livestock “Red Joe” thought it would make Chris healthy and hardy but it only served to make him rebellious against family discipline and to develop his theory of independence.

    Early in his married life Chris trained Mary as few wives were trained. His clothes were always laid out on the bed ready for Chris to put on. If he wanted something at the table he didn’t ask for it. He simply held his knife straight up and Mary would know what he wanted and see that it was started on the way to him. There was no idle chatter at the table when Chris was there but when he was finished with his meals he got up and went into the bedroom—or hammock in the summertime—for a nap. Then the children would cut loose as all children will. Mary and all the children loved Chris but he ruled with an iron hand.

    Chris had long anticipated the time when he would have the control and income from his father’s land and it was indeed a blow to his pride to find when “Red Joe’s” will was read that to a large degree he had been bypassed and most of the land was willed to the children of Chris. Of course as all the children were minors Chris was the man who handled the finances. Since he was justified in taking considerable of the income for the care and maintenance of the children, his income was no small item for those days.

    Deer Creek, which was Chris’ home town, was quite a baseball town. They had a local team which would play neighboring teams and would take on traveling teams. When this happened they would usually bolster the team with some extra good players from other towns and would often bring out special ones from Peoria if they thought the competition warranted it. The management of the Deer Creek team lined up a game with the Kansas City Gems which was an organization made up of Negro players. For this game the local management secured the talent of some exceptional players and though they didn’t expect to win they didn’t think they would be beaten too badly. The Negro boys were players who were capable of defeating almost any team that most towns would put on the field. Chris, true sportsman that he was, made a trip over to Danvers where the team was playing the day before their game at Deer Creek, saw the manager, and for forty dollars had the assurance that the Gems would lose the game. Then he hurried back to Deer Creek and had no trouble in placing two hundred dollars at even money that Deer Creek would win. That looked fine for Chris except that the Gems won. Since the manager left town before the game was over Chris never did find out how that came about, but it was rumored that another true sportsman had given the manager fifty dollars to win.

    Chris would always have the best groomed and well trained horse in the community. Before driving into the business part of town he would pull over to the side of the road and whistle a little tweet, tweet, tweet and sit there until the horse went to the powder room in typical horse manner. The boys in the family had good spirited horses but they wouldn’t be trained like Chris’ horse, much to his chagrin. His work horses were always strong and good pullers and many a time Chris would bet a little on the loads they could pull.

    For many years Chris was a member of the school board which ran the rural schools. He was interested because he usually had several children in school. Chris’ children were perhaps a little better students than many who attended the rural schools and were entitled to good grades. However, the fact that Chris was on the school board often brought the complaint from envious neighbors that the good grades were given the Belsly youngsters for that reason. Most of the children received some additional education at Eureka College which was close to the family homestead. The fact that they got along well with their work there would lead one to believe their good grades were justified.

    Chris had one story that he told to the school children every time he had a chance. The story was that when he and his father were driving to Chicago one early spring when the roads were pretty well broken up they came to this sign: TAKE CARE OF THE RUT YOU CHOOSE—YOU WILL BE IN IT FOR THE NEXT FIFTY MILES. He would refer to that and then say, “Would that we could say to every young man and every young woman, Take care of the path you choose—you will be in it for the next fifty years. Choose a path of vision and courage with a goal you have to reach for and your life will be a pleasant and profitable adventure.”

    ————————————————————————————————

    Christian was raised by his step-mother, Barbara Engel, and is said to have been a very spoiled person. He never learned how to handle finances, and as a result his father, Joseph, left his estate to Christian’s children.

    ————————————————————————————————

    “In 1860 Christian purchased land near Deer Creek, IL, where he and his wife lived and raised their family. They attended the early East Washington Mennonite Church. They had nine children...When the first son (second grandchild) was born, Grandpa Red Joe drove from his homestead in north Worth Township to see his first grandson. The parents had already chosen a name for the boy, but Grandpa Red Joe said his name is Joseph, so that is what he was named. It was that first grandson who later inherited the Red Joe homestead. When he married Ida Foster they moved to that homestead where they raised their family. From him, the homestead went to his son Maurice and today (1983) Maurice’s son, Clifford owns it.”

    ————————————————————————————————

    “The story of Christian Belsly (1835-1915), the only son of 'Red Joe', illustrates the circular nature of some of the family relationships. 'Red Joe' distrusted his son Christian's easy nature. Relatives considered the only child to be spoiled.

    Christian found a prospective wife during a visit to his uncle Peter Schrock at Lemon Township, Butler County. She lived in the next house on Salzman Road. The ceremony was conducted by minister Nicholas Augspurger at Trenton in Butler County Nov. 18, 1856.

    'Red Joe' showed his displeasure with his son by declining to present the groom with the customary gift of acreage from the family farm. Christian was forced to make his own living. He and his new wife first lived at Spring Bay, and in 1860 he purchased land in Deer Creek and started his own farm. When Christian's first son was born the following year, 'Red Joe' insisted that his grandson be named Joseph. Christian consented.

    When 'Red Joe' died on Christmas Eve 1872, his nine-page will divided his sizable fortune into 33 units that took six years to disperse through the probate process. He chose to leave his widow $2,000 but only 80 of his 2,000 acres. Son Christian, who expected a life of leisure, was left only 120 acres and a payment of $150 a year for 20 years. The family farm on Lourdes Road passed more or less intact to the namesake grandchild.

    In the end, Christian and his wife ran a prosperous farm and raised nine children. He served as a school director and commissioner of highways in Deer Creek. He and his wife are buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery at Deer Creek.

    “The wife that son Christian Belsley found in Butler County was his second cousin Mary Schertz, who was born in Butler County in 1837. She was the oldest of three daughters of John Schertz and Catherine Engel, who lived on Salzman Road in Lemon Township. 22 John Schertz was the business partner of John Stecker/Staker, and his daughters were trained in business and accounting. No doubt Mary Engel made an appropriate partner for the errant son of 'Red Joe' Belsley.”

    Verna Belsley says 1836 in a letter to H. H. Schrock in 1961. Robert Belsley’s book gives the date as 31 Jul 1835.

    Christian married Mary Magdalene Schertz on 28 Oct 1856 in Trenton, Butler Co., OH. Mary (daughter of John Schertz and Catherine Engel) was born on 3 Mar 1837 in Lemon Twp., Butler Co., OH; died on 28 Nov 1911 in Deer Creek, Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., IL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Mary Magdalene Schertz was born on 3 Mar 1837 in Lemon Twp., Butler Co., OH (daughter of John Schertz and Catherine Engel); died on 28 Nov 1911 in Deer Creek, Washington Twp., Tazewell Co., IL.

    Notes:

    “Mary was a slightly built lady. She was loved and respected in the community. She and Christian celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on October 28, 1906. She passed away in 1911 and it is remembered her funeral was a very large one. The following is a quote from her obituary: ‘In recognition of a quiet, unassuming Christian life, the following simple verse will apply most appropriately—Her hands were filled with deeds of charity, the Golden Keys that open the palace of Eternity.’”

    Mary was trained in business and accounting by her father, so was able to help her husband manage his finances--something he had been unable to do for himself.

    Obit: Excerpts (full text in Garber file): Washington (IL) Post
    Emanuel Garber, Sr., is dead. Quietly he sank to sleep Thursday noon, at 12:25 o’clock, surrounded by relatives and friends. Mr. Garber had been complaining all winter and about the first of the year he had an attack of the grip and had been poorly ever since. At times his family had thought he was getting better. A week before his death he seemed to take more nourishment and to grow stronger, but it was only the beginning of the end. Wednesday evening he commenced sinking and from then until the last gradually sank to sleep.....Mr. Garber was known and loved by nearly everybody in this community, and far beyond. He was one of God’s noblemen...He was a veterinary surgeon by profession but he seemed to use his labors only as a cloak to accommodate others and relive the poor, suffering dumb bruts. He would travel any distance in all kinds of weather and all he asked for his services was nothing or a mere pittance. In all his business dealings he was honorable and just and was never known to do a wrongful act knowingly. The world is better for his having lived. he has left behind him no accumulations of gold but there will ever remain the kindly gentle life he lived, and few with whom he ever came in contact but were made better and happier by having met him. No man in any community was ever more highly respected than was Mr. Garber....Mr. Garber was a consistent member of the Mennonite church and always took an active interest in working in the vineyard of the Lord.

    Emanuel and his wife lived on a farm six miles east of Pekin. Here their ten children were born. In the spring of 1875 they moved to a farm near Washington.

    “Emanuel was a very respected man in his community. It is said that he was very good at doctoring animals and considered a veterinarian. My great grandfather is Samuel, born 1859. He migrated to Brawley, Imperial Co. Calif. abt. 1903. He owned the largest dry cleaning business in Imperial County. He joined the Stahl Brothers in their business ventures. See Pioneers of Imperial Co. He married Amelia Ellen Stormer and had five children: Arthur, Rudolph, Fannie, Minnie Amelia and Hulda. Minnie Amelia married Henry A. Stahl in 1908. They, with the Stahl brothers, farmed the homesteaded land and operated the largest dry goods store in Brawley. Later the store was bought out by J. C Pennys. Henry and Minnie also farmed a 40 acre walnut ranch in Northridge, L.A county, Calif. In his elder years, Samuel lived with his daughter, Minnie, on the walnut ranch and then with his son Rudolph. He died Feb. 1940. Burial sight is unknown; he may have been cremated. His wife, Amelia Ellen Stormer Garber is buried in Riverside Cemetery, Brawley, Calif. The name on the stone is misspelled, it says "Stromer". Wife of Samuel Garber is on the top. Amelia's brother, David Stormer, is buried next to her. Imperial county in the early 1900's was a very harsh climate with day time temperatures reaching beyond 110 degrees in the summer months. The Colorado River over flowed its banks causing major damage to crops and fields. This was rectified when the Hoover Dam was built. These were very strong people. I am proud to have them in my family tree.”
