Description	:	The letters in the obituary show his name as being E. L. Havens. On his wife's tombstone it is E. S. Havens. I have found many times in the old time writing when a capital S. was written it could be confused with a capital L. or vice versa. [Lucinda's obituary has him as E. G. Havens. This is understandable because the writer of the obituary probably hand wrote a capital "S" with a large fat loup which could also be thought of as looking like a "G". Also his death date does not correspond with... Read More	The letters in the obituary show his name as being E. L. Havens. On his wife's tombstone it is E. S. Havens. I have found many times in the old time writing when a capital S. was written it could be confused with a capital L. or vice versa. [Lucinda's obituary has him as E. G. Havens. This is understandable because the writer of the obituary probably hand wrote a capital "S" with a large fat loup which could also be thought of as looking like a "G". Also his death date does not correspond with other sources. Which is right Jan. 7 or Jan. 16? Please if you have proof he died on January 7, 1902 rather than January 16, 1902 let me know. The obituary reads January 16, 1902. Since he was born Jun. 7 I am thinking somebody in a mental error wrote his death as Jan. 7 rather than Jan 16. Also if somebody has other family data that shows he died Jan. 16 rather than Jan. 7 let me know. Why Elisha S. Havens was buried out of the Minden Christian Church I do not know. The rural Liberty Baptist church was even improved in 1905 and did not disband until 1946. Of course "if" he moved to town [Minden] after his wife died he may have attended the Christian Church rather than drive by horse and buggy the 8 miles out to Liberty Baptist or having to drive about 50 minutes after hitching the horse up etc. There was no Baptist Church in Minden. The obituary is from the January 23, 1902 issue of THE MINDEN COURIER. I almost did not find it since I was looking for a paper dated shortly after January 7 rather than after January 16. _________ January 5, 2015 Per Bonnie Shirley Amery E.S. Havens is Elisha Searles Havens J.C. Havens is John Calvin Havens----who I have not yet located Mrs. Stacy is E.S Havens daughter Frances Ann What a family celebration. So far E.S. Havens children are buried in Pennsylvania to possibly John Calvin is buried in California. That is one family that scattered far and wide. __________ February 25, 2015 From Charles Havens Elisha S Havens Family Here I am again. I just left a message saying that Floretta C. was missing from the family of Elisha. Actually there is another missing daughter. Emily J. was born Jul 1841 in OH and died 09 Mar 1904 in Minden, NE. She married Henry W Mack born 1837 in NY and died before 1900. ______________________________ June 2015 I am not sure if the father and mother mentioned are Mr. and Mrs. John Havens or his parents. I think it is John because in his mother's obituary it states she moved to Nebraska in 1886. That would mean John was in Kearney County, Nebraska about three years before his parents. - - - - - Minden Courier 24 August 1933 Liberty Baptist Church 50th Anniversary Liberty Baptist Church was about 7 miles NE of Minden, Nebraska [1933] From James Havens per John Havens: "Father will not be ale to write you but I will write you for him as best I can. Father and mother were not charter members at Liberty but united very soon after the church was organized. We arrived in Hoosier Valley in February, 1883, the church was organized a short time before that. "The church was meeting on Sundays in the sod school house and having mid-week prayer meetings from house to house. At a covenant meeting shortly after my parents came they were taken into the church by letter that came after us. At this same meeting father was appointed as one of the building committee as they were planning to build and did build that summer and fall, 1883. "To those of you who knew John Havens as he was among you as a member of the Liberty church, I could say nothing to add to what you remember as to his willingness to serve, only to say that after leaving Nebraska he ever continued to serve his Master. [.....]. Of recent years, age, feebleness and partial deafness has hindered him from active work in the church he always loved. "Mother passed away in June, 1928, since then he has lived with his three sons. He has spent most of his time in the hospital and we all hope and trust he will soon be able to be around again.
