Notes for SAMUEL MCCALLY:

OBITUARY: (The LaGrange Standard, Thur. May 1, 1913) SAMUEL M'CALLY, PIONEER, IS DEAD - He came to LaGrange County in 1854, Fifty-nine Years Ago - Funeral Held Yesterday - His Death Came In His Eighty-sixth Year. Samuel McCALLY, who came to LaGrange county in 1854, died Monday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William W. Minich, East of town, in his eighty-sixth year. Funeral services were held yesterday morning at ten o'clock from the Methodist Episcopal church at Plato, with Leroy W. Kemper, the pastor, in charge. Burial was made at the Plato church yard. Mr. McCally was born August 3, 1827, in Ohio, in a house on the line dividing Clark and Madison counties. His parents were Nicholas and Nancy Judy (Tschudy) McCally, the former a Virginian and the latter a Kentuckian. Nicholas McCally served in the War of 1812, first in the cavalry, in the Green Clay brigade under General Hull, and was one of the army surrender to the British. He afterward re-enlisted under General Harrison and was wounded in an engagement with the Indians. His death occurred October 30, 1850 in Logan county, Ohio. Samuel McCally attended the country schools and at eighteen years of age began work on a farm in Clark county, Ohio. This employment he followed for three years and for three more years he was engaged in driving cattle to New York. He became the owner of the old homestead in Ohio the year following the death of his father, but in 1854 came to the county and invested in 180 acres of land. He was first married in 1849 to Mary A. Nicholson. She died in 1856, leaving him four children, John McCally, now at Sturgis, Almond McCally, of Clay Twp., Andrew McCally of Kalamazoo and Elias G. McCally, who in 1865 was accidentally killed. His second marriage was to Elizabeth J. Richards, who was the mother of five children, former county treasurer Charles A. McCally, Mrs. Sara Roger of Springfield Twp., Mrs. William W. Minich, Manley McCally of Goshen and Mrs. Truman Fair of this township. Since the death of his second wife Mr. McCally had made his home with his children. Mr. McCally was both a man of character and capacity. He was successful as a farmer and active and prominent in political and other public affairs. He belonged to that race of men to whom LaGrange county is indebted for its transformation from a wilderness. Strong, rugged and resourceful, he made his life count for things worth living. And at last he fell asleep, in the fuliness of time, passing on to that country from, which none returns.

Notes for JOHN NICHOLS MCCALLY:

OBITUARY: (Sturgis Daily Journal, March 21, 1927) JOHN McCALLY ENDS LIFE BY HANGING SELF. John McCally, 77, a Sturgis resident for 25 years, was found dead, his limp body lying behind an iron bedstead in his home, 403 Sturgis Ave., at ten Sunday morning. A rope doubled about his neck told a mute story of the manner of his death. In a literal sense McCally did not hang himself - he strangled himself to death. This was the verdict of a coroner's jury at an inquest held at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the court of C.L. Haner, justice and acting coroner. There was no sign of violence in the room nor about the house. Two persons testified at the inquest. They were A.M. Neufler and John Turnbul. Both declared that McCally was in good spirits when they saw him last. "Mr. McCally appeared to be all right when I visited him Saturday evening." Mr. Turnbul testified, "although he had been worrying for some time over $800 which he said he had lent." John McCally was born in Auglarze county, Ohio, July 14, 1850. He came to Sturgis 25 years ago. He was a former employee of the Wilhelm Furniture Company here. During recent months, he had been employed at intervals as an extra flagman here for the New York Central Railroad. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 1 o'clock at the Moon Funeral Home in Sturgis and at 2 o'clock at the Methodist Church in Plato, Indiana. The body will be intered in the Plato cemetery at the side of his wife who died 40 years ago. Surviving are two sons Sam S., of Kendallville, Ind., and Charles of Akron, O; one daughter Mrs. Jacob Bolley, of Kendallville; two brothers, Albert of Shipshewana, Ind., and Richard, of Goshen; and two sisters, Mrs. William Minnick, of LaGrange and Mrs. Roxey Fair, of Howe.

Generation No. 1
1. JACOB FREDERICK1 BOLLEY was born January 16, 1833 in Switzerland1, and died October 23, 1910 in Plato, LaGrange Co., Indiana¹. He married ELIZABETH DOERRER June 30, 1859 in Ashland Co., Ohio², daughter of JACOB DOERRER and ANNA GAISER. She was born September 03, 1836 in Ashland, Ohio³, and died September 25, 1922 in Johnson Twp., LaGrange Co., Indiana³.

Notes for JACOB FREDERICK BOLLEY:
The lineage of Jacob Bolley is unclear. Jacob's death certificate indicated his father was Jacob Bolley of Switzerland. No such person can be found and this may or may not be true. The IGI shows a Jacob Bolli, son of Simeon Bolli & Margaretha Bollinger, was born January 16, 1834, County of "Sh", Town of Beringen. This may be a match ... same month, same day, off by only one year. In 1980 Floyd Bolley told that he thought Jacob was born near Shoufan on the Rhine River. He also believed Jacob had a brother, John, and a sister, Anna, who moved to Illinois. In 1870 Jacob and Elizabeth moved to LaGrange County, Milford Twp., Indiana from Ashland, Ohio per Elizabeth's obituary.

OBITUARY: (LaGrange Standard, October 27, 1910) Funeral services for Jacob Bolley, whose death occurred Sunday Evening at the home of a son at Brighton were held Tuesday from the Plato church.

Notes for ELIZABETH DOERRER:
OBITUARY: (LaGrange Standard, September 29, 1922) In Ashland county, Ohio, on September 3, 1836, a daughter, Elizabeth, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Dorerrer. In 1859 she was united in marriage to Jacob Bolley. To this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters. Mrs. Bolley departed this life on September 24, 1922, at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Henry Misner, near Olive Lake. Her husband and three daughters preceeded her to the pririt world. Three sons are living, Jacob, William and Albert, and two daughters, Mrs. Albert Case and Mrs. Daniel Ackermire. Three brothers Emanuel of Helmer and Frank and Edwin of Ashland, Ohio, twenty-eight grandchildren, thirty-three great great grandchildren and many friends and neighbors are leftg to mourn their loss. In 1870 she came from Ohio with husband and family and settled on a farm in Milford township, LaGrange county, where they resided until the husband was disabled and compelled to retire from active life. After this, the rearing of the family was left to her and to her alone. No on knows what she suffered and endured through those lonely years, for uncomplainingly and yet smiling, she suffered through. She was unusually ambitious and active both in youth and in age and always ready to help those in need. Being a member of the German Lutheran church since early womanhood and a firm believer in her God, she left us without fear.
