John Sanford

Greenwood, Eaton, Clark Co., Wisconsin

John was born in Allegany Co., NY, 7 Aug 1839, the son of Zephaniah and Mary Sanford who were both natives of the Empire State. His siblings were: Lemuel (1826, NY), Sarah (1831, NY), Samuel (1832, NY), Esther (1834, NY), Ephraim (1836, NY), James (1841, NY), Sirena (1843, PA), Ira (1846, PA) and Ralph (1848, PA). The family moved to Shippen, McKean, PA about 1843 to farm. In 1860 John was 22 yrs. old and living with his older brother Lemuel and sister-in-law Betsey in Norwich, PA which was served by the Port Allegany Post Office. He served as a Pvt. with Co. I., 76^th Penn. Inf., 1 yr. 11 mo., 27 Aug 1863 - 10 Jun 1865. His unit participated in the conflicts at Drewry’s Bluff, 2^nd Cold Harbor, (the namesake of the Greenwood G.A.R., John A. Eaton, died there) Petersburg, Richmond, Fair Oaks, Wilmington and others. After returning to civilian life, John married Louise Swift 9 May 1869, but the 1880 Census indicates he was divorced and living with his brother Ephraim, in sec. 29, Warner Twp. An 1893 map shows John’s property in sec. 8. He was an active G.A.R. member in Greenwood and was installed as Officer of the Guard, 27 Jan 1906. The next month, he and Joseph Palmer, the Hemlock miller, appeared before the pension examining board in Augusta to seek an increase in pension. An uncalled for letter addressed to John Sanford was noted in the 21 Mar 1889 Republican and Press Post Office Notices. The 1905 WI State Census listed him as a widowed boarder, living in Warner Twp. He married Margaret A. Williams in Greenwood 18 Jan 1909. John died in Farmington, Waupaca, WI, 10 Jul 1917 and Margaret later married Alfred Wheeler 25 Jan 1926.

The 1910 census indicates that John & Margaret had been married 1 year, 2nd marriage for both. Also, notice that one of his military records says "Sandford" -- everything else that we have (which is not much!) says Sanford. And FYI, I found a record saying a John Sanford deserted from Co. H, 76th PA Regt. It is either a weird coincidence or some kind of bookkeeping error... I think. The desertion date is the same as our guy's "discharged" date, but enlistment date is different. Maybe he did actually transfer from I to H...? I don't know! There is another John Sanford who fought for WI, but I don't think he came anywhere near Clark County (his widow's name was Catherine H.).

Died April 15, 1907 in the Wisconsin Central depot at Owen, Clark Co, Wis., Zeph Sanford of this city, aged 39 years. For the past year Mr. Sanford had been an invalid from consumption, and had gone to Eau Claire last week for Christian Science treatment. Mrs. Sanford had been hastily called there to accompany him home, and it was shortly after their arrival at Owen, while waiting for the Greenwood train, that without any apparent indication of immediate death he quietly passed away. The funeral was held at the M.E. Church. The deceased, who was a native of Greenwood, was married to Miss Alice Langley of this city in (July 3) 1895, and to them four children were born, three (Mrs. Oro Hulet and Mrs. Mabel Farley per Dean Wallis 1947 obit) of who survive (dau. Hazel M. b. Mar 3 1892, d. 20 Nov 1898 per cemetery records). Two brothers, Dell (Adelbert) of Stevens Point and Abraham of Spirit Falls, and two sisters, Mrs. L. Dimler of Greenwood and Mrs. John Young of Great Falls, Mont., are living. While making his home here Mr. Sanford, who was a lumberman, was away much of the time. He was a member of the Maccabee and E.F.U. lodges.

"...William Andrew Langley (1854 - 1901) was born in Ohio nearly 47 years ago. He was married to Harriet Adelia Markham, daughter of Curtis Markham, Sr., by his first wife and came to Greenwood twenty-one years ago, settling on the farm now owned by Herman Schwarze, on the West Side. About nine years ago the family moved into town. After leaving the farm, Mr. Langley has been a common laborer, though for a number of years was in the employ of the Hutchinson Cooperage Co. here. He was the father of seven children, who with the mother, survive him. The eldest, Alice, is the wife of Z. E. Sanford and lives west of town. Georgia Chapman, the second daughter, lives in Minnesota, and was the only one of the children not present at the funeral. The other married daughter, Elnora Garvin, is living near West Superior, and is remaining at home with her mother for a few days. Harry B. is the only son and on him now falls the burden of the support of the family, as unfortunately deceased carried no insurance. Mattie, Hazel and Velma are the younger children, who with Harry, live at home...."

Mr. Sanford had been employed at Ladysmith and was on his way home. Arriving at Greenwood he secured a ride with a neighbor of his brother-in-law.

When out in the country about four miles, Mr. Sanford, who was driving, accidentally dropped the lines. In trying to recover them, he fell over the dashboard, landing between the horses, and was seriously injured about his head, which later resulted in death. He was unmarried and thirty years (b. c1883) of age. GREENWOOD GLEANER
