Notes for PEARL DOCHOW:
History of Herman Dochow Family by Miss Lillian Shimmick

Prolonged political oppression breeds discontentment and too often results in a hatred for the fatherland, its language and its laws. So it was with the family of Frederick Willie Dochow (Do-who) living in France near the German border. During the period of the Persecution of the Huguenots the family fled to Gemplen, Germany with their small son Frederick II born December 2, 1818. Gemplen became their abode where Frederick II learned and later followed the trade of a miller. Numbered among his friends was a young German girl, Miss Fredericka Enge whom he later married in Boitzenburg, Germany. Though this couple were born 9 children; Charlie, Herman (youngest) Albert, Matilda, Adolph, Edna, Martha, William and Gustav.

Warfare among German border states seemed never ending. To avoid further involvement, the Frederick Dochow family severed its ties with the homeland and emigrated to the United State of America. Their ocean travel from Germany to New York City numbered 14 days. The cross-country train travel from the East Coast to the state of Wisconsin, too, was slow and wearisome. On reaching their destination the Dochows were met by relatives who helped them to establish their home. As the children grew into adulthood, the family circle was broken; some married and settled in the Dakotas and in Minnesota. A couple of the brothers went west to Colorado and then on to Oregon. Frederick found the winters in Wisconsin and Minnesota too cold for comfort in his rheumatic condition. In search of a more favorable clime, Frederick persuaded his son Herman to accompany him to Atchison, KS to pick corn for Sam Arthur. While working there, it was Herman's good fortune to meet Miss Addie Minerva Arthur, the young lady whom he later married.

Herman and his wife set up housekeeping on a farm near Farmington, KS. While residing there, three daughters were born; Minnie, Grace and Pearl. From Farmington, the family moved to Osborne, KS and their son Loren was born.

The urge to move on westward was ever present among the young married folk who were eager to improve their lot. The Herman Dochow family was among those who joined the wagon train and traveled as Far West as Decatur County, KS. It was in 1887 that the family settled on a farm southeast of Jennings. A one-room dugout speedily became their home. A larger three-room sod house was build two years later to accommodate the large family. Here, a daughter, Bessie and later a son, Joe were born. Herman made no effort to teach his children to speak German, nor would he converse with others in his native language. The abuses and inequities experienced in the fatherland had left him embittered. He chose to converse, as best he could, in broken English.

The Dochows were responsible citizens; all were thrifty, hard-working, God-loving people. Herman was reared in the Lutheran Faith, his wife, in Methodism. The family attended the Methodist Church at Jennings often walking to day and evening services and Sunday school.

Herman was troubled with rheumatism. Home remedies were used to ease the pain. His wife often placed hot packs made of ears of unhusked corn taken steaming hot from the wash boiler around him. Time were hard and money was scarce. Coal was so expensive that cow and buffalo chips were gathered and used for fuel.

From the sod house the family established itself in a new two-story frame house which was built just west of their soddy. The house still stands and is presently owned by the daughter, Mrs. Pearl Dochow Boyles and her husband, Owen. The bricks for the chimney wee hauled from Norcatur and the lumber from Jennings. A second trip had to be made to Norcatur after the youngest child, Joe was found breaking the new bricks with his hammer. John and Pete Pauls and Harry Munson assisted Herman in building his house. Nick Hahn bore a well near the house in 1891. This well is in use today. Herman and his family rejoiced on September 27, 1892 when he obtained a patent from the United States government bearing the signature of President Benjamin Harrison for land on which he had built his house. NE1/4 of Section 6, Township 5, S Range 26 @ of the 6 PM. Later in June, 1900 a patent for school land was issued to Herman Dochow by the United States government for an adjacent quarter section of land SE1/4 - 6 - 5 -26 at that time W. E. Stanley was governor of Kansas.

The Dochows were sociable, out-going folk, never too busy to stop their work to help others or to engage in conversations. It was a common occurrence for the passer-by to stop at the Dochow house at the side of the road, where an invitation to enter and to remain for lunch was cheerfully extended; although the fare was meager-many times, no more than homemade bread and gravy. Many of the neighbors as they traveled toward the Dochow home could be recognized by the way they traveled. Mrs. Bill Lieber drove hard and fast; Mrs. Frank Price pulled back on the reins to maintain control; while D. S. Logan drove his team -alfalfa fed-at a leisurely pace. In addition to their allegiance to church and school, the Dochows became affiliated with local fraternal associations; Herman became a charter member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Jennings Lodge #449, organized on October 11, 1900. Later Addie and Pearl became members of the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies, Jennings Lila Rebekah Lodge # 430.

Daughters Minnie, Grace and Pearl received their formal education in several school districts. The school attended first was located just east of the present Boyles mailbox. Miss Letha Pine was the teacher. The second school attended was in a frame building known as the Elkhorn School, located east of the township (Allison) Road about a quarter of a mile west of the present Walter Warren residence. As the other children of the family became of school age, they attended the two-room frame schoolhouse located on a hill in the east pat of Jennings. Later in 1894, the schoolhouse was moved a short distance west where two more class rooms were added. Some of the teachers were G. W. Fields, Anna Bates, Mr. Brown, Louisa and J. P. Langley, Anna R. Van Wickle, 1885, Anna E. Bates, 1888; Grace E. Ford, Merita Speakman, Edwin Ashcraft, A. C. Banta and Louise Anderson.

Dr. Dwight Funk, the local family doctor was called to attend Herman in his last illness. Herman passed away at his home on April 6, 1903 at the age of 47. His death was attributed to the leakage of the heart. The bereaved family remained on the farm where they labored together to make their living caring for cattle and chickens and raising wheat and corn.

When the children were old enough to work out, they found employment in the neighborhood; Pearl as a teenager worked for the families of Mark Feely, John Nellans, Ran Bartley, Bill Willy, Bill Stramp, Mrs. Mary Wolfe, Bob Mizer, Bill Lieber, Kings at Lenora, Elic Bishop and Leonard Hill. Pearl's sister, Minnie also worked out. She was at the Frank Shimmick home to help when this writer was a baby. In June 1909, Pearl went to Kansas City, MO where she worked for the Loose and Wyld Candy Company and the Walkers Laundry. Later, she kept house for Miller Hageman, her grandmother's uncle who ran an apartment housers' laundry. In 1910, Pearl met Owen Boyles, a furniture finisher who worked for Robert Keith Carpet and Furniture Company. They were married at Olathe, KS on March 6, 1912. They bought a home in Kansas City, MO and lived there until 1916 when they moved to Jennings.

During Pearl's absence from home many changes had taken place in the Dochow household. Pearl's oldest sister, Annie, had married D. S. Logan and was living on a farm just southwest of Allison on the Solomon River. The Logans' had three children,
Ross, Glen and Mamie. Pearl's sister, Grace had married Thomas Davitt, a painter. They made their home on a farm southeast of Jennings. The Davitts had two sons, Loren and Raymond. Grace, after a short illness passed away in 1909 at the age of 29. Pearl's brother, Loren (Pete) had married Miss Nellie Smith, a hometown schoolmate. The couple moved to Kansas City where they lived for several yeas before they returned to make their home in Jennings. Their family consisted of six children: Ernest Edward, Bernard, Boyd, Vivian, Nettie Pearl and Addie Katheryn. Pearl's youngest sister, Bessie had married Nick Gibson. They made their home in Kansas City. Charles and Evelyn were children of this family. Pearl's mother and youngest unmarried brother, Joe were farming the homestead. When Joe as arrayed into the United States Army in 1916, Pearl and Owen Boyles returned to Jennings to be with Mrs. Dochow and to keep the Dochow farm in operation. On July 20, 1926, a son, Joe was born to Pearl and Owen. Joe attended elementary and high school at Jennings and in Oberlin. He served his country in World War II. He is married to Katherine Kirk and is now living in Kansas City, MO. They have a 16-year-old daughter, Vicki.

Mrs. Addie Dochow's retirement years were spent on the farm with Pearl and Owen. Her grandson, Raymond Davitt and his wife, Mildred and their three daughters, Frances, Maxine and Ardith lived a short distance from her. Mrs. Dochow was active and enjoyed life in the companionship of relatives and friends. In 1939, she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, which resulted in several months of invalidism. She passed away at home on October 30, 1940 at the age of 80. She was preceded in death by two daughters, Grace Davitt in 1909 and Bessie Gibson in 1936; Annie Logan passed away later in 1954. Joe Dochow in 1956 and Loren (Pete) in 1961. Herman and Addie Dochow were laid to rest in the Jennings Cemetery.

Pearl and Owen still reside on the farm enjoying the freedom of the out-of-doors. They have rented the farm ground and have things pretty much as they want them out there. They still have chickens and a ga4rden and depend on their car to get them to the places where they need to go. On March 14, 1974, Pearl's 91st birthday, Mrs. Leroy (Florence Nauer) Wyld hosted a birthday party honoring Pearl and Mrs. Ruby Stroup, whose birthdays are on the same day. Mahy friends and relatives called to extend congratulations, Pearl and Owen enjoy each day to the fullest keeping informed by reading and watching TV and listening to radio programs. They vote at elections, and enjoy visiting and entertaining. The Welcome Mat is always at the door.

The writer is indebted to Pearl Boyles and her niece, Evelyn Givson Keith and to Mrs. Albert McKenna for information and assistance.

AKA Jasper Daniel Wilkins
AKA J. Dan Wilkins
AKA John Dan Wilkins

He deserted his wife and children in 1922 in Chicago. Subsequently, the children became wards of the State of Illinois. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society has been very helpful in detailing the events occurring to this family and the children. Most were put into foster homes and most remained in limited contact into their adulthood. Many, despite the hardships of the Great Depression, multiple foster homes or orphanages, rose above their humble beginnings and became productive, contributing members of society. There are several stories of several of these children overcoming these poor odds and becoming successful business people and/or parents.

Daniel Emerson Wilkins was reported to be living in or near Dekalb County, AL with another family in 1952 with a son, Douglas, who "was not an orphan". No further information is known to date.

Notes for FLORENCE ESTHER NACKE:
My aunt Florence was simply one of the classiest women I have ever met. She was a role model for me as a young adult woman and I believe that my adoption of her dressing and grooming habits, professionalism and manners have served me well professionally and personally my entire life. She was a loving and loyal ally and generously gave me clothing and advice that I would not have had access to, living in a small rural community. I will be grateful to her always and could only hope that each young woman would have a similar mentor.

FOR THOSE WHO KNEW HER

We begin the February Newsletter on a rather sad note. This past month we lost one of our Shrine ladies. While it seems there are those put on this earth to worry their fellow men, cause upheaval and chaos, there are those few that add warmth and understanding.

A small lady with a bit heart, add a great personality, a vibrant smile, charm, humor and a wonderful hostess and you have a lady ten foot tall. What a pity there are not more of these rare persons placed on this good earth to add to our comfort and enjoyment. For those who were friends, we should consider ourselves most fortunate to have known and shared time with her.

Our sorrow goes to Andy Wilkins on the loss of his mate, Florence for some 61 years. Not only will there be a vacant spot in his life, bit in ours as well. A Pit there are not more persons in this world like Florence. What a wonderful world it would be.
