ANSON INGELS
Anson Ingels, well known and highly respected citizen, passed away Friday evening after an illness extending over a period of several years.
William Anson Ingels, a son of the late William and Sarah (Merry) Ingels was born in Bond county, September 1, 1869. On October 1, 1919, he married at Hillsboro to Miss Pearl Sanderson, by the Rev. Ezra Keller. Mrs. Ingels survives him with a son, William S. A sister, Clara died in infancy.
Mr. Ingels father, William Ingels was a veteran of the Civil War enlisting in Co., B 22nd Ill. Calvary and served more than three years with the Union Army. On December 27, 1865, at the end of the war he married Sarah Lucy Merry, a member of another well known Bond county family and they went into housekeeping on their farm which has been the Ingels home since pioneer days and there Anson Ingels was born.
Through industry, thrift, honest toil, and effort, Mr. and Mrs. William Ingels and their son, Anson acquired large acreage and other holdings and gained the confidence and respect of all who knew them.
Following the death of his parents, Anson and his family lived on the homestead and continued to carry on large farming pursuits intil his health failed.
He served two terms as Director of the Shady Grove school district.
The deceased's paternal grandparents, Anson and Eleanor (Dusky) Ingels came to Bond county from Meigs county, Ohio, near Pomeroy, Nov. 1853. They made the trip in a covered wagon, bringing with them their two daughters, Sarah, who became Mrs. James C. Merry and Isabel and five sons, William, Charles, Joseph, Anson, and James. A son, George Ingels remained in Ohio. The family first settled in the Dixon neighborhood, but later the father bought 400 acres of land in the Barr school community.
Their son, William, married Lucy Merry, a daughter of David W. Merry and Isabel Merry, other pioneer settlers, who had come to that community from Troy about the year 1840, having gone there from Kentucky some years before. They too, brought with them a large family, Sarah Lucy, above mentioned, Ann, who became Mrs. Ann Dorris, Rachel, who married a Johnson and sons William, Robert, James, Samuel, Andrew, David W., Fred, Thomas. They located on Dry Fork Creek near Woburn. Their son, Thomas died. Later the family settled in the Shady Grove community where many of their decendants now live.
In fact the Merry family family came early to the St. Louis section. Histories of the city of St. Louis show that Dr. Samuel Merry was elected the second mayor in 1835 as a democrat. But his opponents, the Whigs, had him disqualified on the grounds that he was the United States receiver of Public Money, and therefore could not hold a city and federal office at the same time.
Anson Ingels parents, William and Sarah Lucy (Merry) Ingels were married at the present Ingels homestead and spent their entire married life there. Mr. Ingels died in April 1919 and the mother in January 1925.
