I have all 67 pages of the Pension files. Lot of interesting items, but for now here’s a link to birth dates and names for all of James’ and Phoebe’s children.
OK, for now I give up. My computer is crashing, the software I’m using to make this site hasn’t been supported in 6 years and the work I make a living at has been extremely good. So here's a link to all 68 pages in a zip file:
NEW JULY 2014
Here’s Melissa Stickle’s Obit.
OLD INFO •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
LINK 1870 Census
Ann Stickle living with daughter Phebe. Joesph Fritz listed is too young to be son of James Fritz who had died in the Civil War.
The question about wh
o he was is answered by Erwin’s son Jesse Langdon. Joseph was the son of Ansel and Phebe. The 1870 census taker must have assumed all of the children were Fritz.
NEW OCT 2013 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Here's a quick rundown of the info that I have. I really need to consolidate it.
24 March 1858 James E. Fritts marries Catherine's sister Phoebe (Phebe) Stickle in Green Lake, Wis. The name changes back and forth from Fritts to Fritz for a number of years. They had three sons:
Edward J Fritts 1859 –
Erving J Fritts 1861 – 1931
(Here’s a photo of him. Written on back of photo is: “Irvin Fritz,
Aunt Phoebe's son”) LINK
James Fritts 1865 – (***NOTE Still need to work on him)
When Civil War broke out James (sr) joined the Union and was killed 1 June 1864 in the battle of Cold Harbor. On 11 November 1866 Phoebe married Ansel Langdon. Ansel was the brother of Catherine's husband Rufus. Joseph Langdon was born on 31 Jul 1867 in Green Lake, Wis. Phoebe and Ansel moved to Oregon and later divorced. Ansel married Lenora (Nora) Maupin on 16 May 1879. Phoebe never remarried. She died in 1917 and is buried in Oregon.
At left is a photo of Joe (Fritz) Langdon.
He’s is in Percy’s story. LINK
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Here are several documents.
• 1974 letter from Jesse Langdon outlining family history.
• Ansel Langdon Individual Report
• Florence McNabb wrote several letters about the Langdon-Maupin family history, and her information is summed up in this 3 page letter. A lot of info in here.
• Jacob Stickle and Anne Kemp Report
• Stickle Report with handwritten notes from Jesse Langdon about the Stickles. He notes that Catherine and Phebe were sisters and that Ansel and Phebe had one child. Joe.
• Descendants of Peter Stickle.
• Stickle information from Mary Morris Winberry.
• 1905 Letter from ND Clark to family in Oregon. The letter begins with a postscript dated June 10, 1905. It’s written sideways on top of the page. Catherine died 4 days later on June 14, 1905. It reads: “Mother is no better, very bad off.”
The rest of the letter starts with Catherine’s ill health and mentions that they are all eating prunes. Here’s two newspaper articles about the prunes. Erwin was growing them in Oregon and selling them in the Dakotas.
Here’s a 13 April 1903 newspaper article from Oregon. Doctor Page is called to visit Grandma Langdon. I believe Grandma was Catherine Langdon. See the Oregon Langdons page for more info.

Stickle Headstones •••••••••••••••••••••••••
I made a trip to Williams Cemetery and got photos of Ann and Jacob Stickle’s Headstones. Ann’s was hard to read, so I made a rubbing. It reads:
Ann
Wife of
Jacob Stickle
Died Dec. 4 1873
Aged
74 yrs. 2 m. 14 Ds.
Ann's tombstone places her birth at Sep 20 1799.
I added the above photo to Ann in Find A Grave. LINK
Jacob Stickle
Died Feb. 17, 1853
Aged 59 Yrs.
4 mo. 3 ds.
Jacob’s tombstone places his birth 14 Oct 1794.
I added the above photo to Jacob Find A Grave. LINK
Who is George W. Stickle?
He’s buried near Ann & Jacob which suggests he is a relative, but I don’t find him living with them in the records.

Here’s a shot of the 3 headstones. George far left, Jacob center and Ann on the right.
Jacob Stickle Probate ••••••••••••••••••••••
Jacob HAD a probate file. It should be located in the Oshkosh Area Research Center, but that’s just not the case. Here’s the proof of probate in the “Marquette Mercury” newspaper from 13 June 1853.
Jacob’s probate looks to be lost to time. He is NOT in the OshKosh archives. Marquette county’s earliest records were lost to fire. The newest files begin in 1860.
Here’s what is available in the Archives.

Here’s a link to the OshKosh Library “Area Research Center”.
NOTE: There’s a very small chance he might be in the Green Lake county probates. New counties were being created around him. Without ever moving he lived in three different counties. The probate file above specifically states: “Marquette County”, but it also lists “Green Lake Wisconsin” directly below it.

I made a map of the Langdon and Stickle land in Walworth county, but I think I have the Stickles in the wrong location. They should be shifted up closer to Darien. It was hard to read the Walworth county Plats on the screenshot I made. It still gives you a good idea of how close they lived in the 1840-1850 timeline. I’ll try to get an accurate map up soon. LINK

Speculation:
Are these related to Catherine's family? Sure sounds like it. Catherine was born in Ameliasburg, Ontario. That's right in the
middle of the Bay of Quinte.
THE STICKLE FAMILY.
JOHN STICKLE emigrated from Holland to Dutchess County, N.Y., about 1750. He inherited a large estate from his brother who also settled there, but died unmarried, having lost his life from the effect of exposure in a snowstorm. He became a large landowner in Dutchess County, and kept a number of slaves, having increased his inheritance by speculating in real estate in the early days of Harlem, New York. He was an owner and lover of fine horses, and lived to a ripe old age, dying in Dutchess County at the age of ninety. He left three sons, John, William and Nicholas J., and two daughters, all of whom remained in Dutchess County except Nicholas J., who was loyal to the British cause during the Revolutionary War and after the war emigrated to Canada with his wife and one son, JOHN N.
They first stopped at Adolphustown, but afterwards pushed on to Sidney, where they settled permanently. This was precious to 1790, as we find from the early records that he was one of the twenty-seven settlers who gave sevenpence halfpenny each, in that year, to purchase the first record book of the township of Sidney. It is said that he took up twelve hundred acres of land and in later years gave one hundred acres to each of his twelve children. He took a very active part in the early settlement of Sidney, as he was a man of great executive ability. After his first wife's death he again married; but after his own death, in 1812, his widow returned to the States.
John N. Stickle, his eldest son, was born in Dutchess County, N.Y., October 1, 1786, and was little more than an infant when his parents emigrated to Canada. He married Mary Smith, February 2, 1807. She was the daughter of John Smith, who was also a pioneer, and one of the twenty-seven contributors to the first record book for Sidney. He was also the first person buried in the old "White" cemetery on the Front. In 1813, they moved to lot 3, concession 3 Sidney. This part of the township was then a wilderness, without roads and with only a few paths through the woods by which the two or three settlers who had preceded them were enabled to get in and out to their log houses. Young Stickle soon made a clearing and built a log house, and it was in this house that the first religious services in the neighborhood were held. They were held every two week, and later, when a more commodious frame house had replaced the pioneer log shanty, regular religious services were held in it. This continued until about 1840, when the first "Johnstown" school house was built: from that time services were held in the school house until 1876, when the "Johnstown" Methodist church was built. EDWARD O. STICKLE, grandson of John N., now occupies the frame house mentioned, and owns the old farm on which it is situated, cleared by his grandfather and father and which has been in the family name for over a century.
John N. Stickle died in 1843, aged fifty-seven years, and his wife died in 1866, aged seventy-seven years. He had two children: ANNA M. who married JOHN VANDERVOORT, and ADDI N. The latter was born in 1810, and was a little less than three years old when his father moved to the third concession. He was brought up on the old farm and spent his life there. The nearest school, in his boyhood days, was situated about three miles east of their home, and it was there that Addi N. obtained his education, going back and forth to school through the woods. He married ELIZABETH LOTT, and they had ten children, viz.: EDWARD O., GEORGE B., JOHN A., PETER N., WILLIAM H., PHILIP, HANNAH M., EMILY, MARIETTA, MARGARET H., and ANNIE M. He died some years since and his widow survives him.
Edward O. Stickle, son of Addi N., was born in 1837, and has always lived on the ancestral farm. He married EMILY WESTFALL, and his children are GEORGE C., JAMES B., ADDISON A., NAAMAH and MARY E. Edward O. Stickle is one of the most respected men in Sidney. Besides being an enterprising farmer and public-spirited citizen, he has taken a very active and prominent part in church matters. He joined the Methodist church when he was twenty years old, and has been a class leader for over forty-one years; trustee and steward for many years; also superintendent of the Sabbath school. No layman in Sidney is more zealous in church matters than Edward O. Stickle, and his influence in this direction is far-reaching. He is a Liberal in politics, and has served eighteen years as school trustee.

Langdon came in 1843, Sawyer Carter, W.R. Carter, Norman Stewart, James Carter, Madison Miller and Robert Robinson came in 1844. In 1845 S.W. Matthews, A. Barlow, David Jones, Lucius Clark, Walter Burlingame, J. Teal, and J. Stickles came.”
