STOUT, Mrs. Eva KELLISON, Linden, came to Madison Twp. with her parents in 1833, when she was but 10 years old. Her parents, John and Barbara Kellison, were natives of Va, and emigrated to Ohio, where Eva was born when they were young. Her mother died in 1853, aged 50 years and her father now lives in Iowa and is 85 years old. Miss Eva Kellison was married in 1843 to Mosley STODDARD, who was born in 1821 and died leaving her with 5 children: Orren, Mary C; Elizabeth (deceased) John D. and Barbara A. Mrs. Stoddard was married a second time, to Benjamin Stout in 1857, who died in 1878 aged 67 years, leaving two children: Mosley S. and Matie. Mrs. Stout and her first husband were members of the New Light order of Christians, of which she is still a member. Her second husband was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She lives upon her farm of 60 acres, near Linden, left by her first husband, and holds her interest in 112 acres left by her second husband. Her grandfather Kellison came from Ireland.
Her mother's people were originally from Germany. Her son Orren served in the army in the late war. Mrs. Stout is a devoted christian, and is alive to the topics of the present day, and thoroughly republican in principle. When she came here with her parents the country was a wilderness which scarcely seemed susceptible of cultivation. - typed by kbz
