Mark Tatlow & Charlotte Helm
Mark Tatlow was born about 1839, the oldest son of James Tatlow and Honor Emma Faulkner, in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennslyvania. In spring of 1856, he moved with the family to Davenport, Scott Co. Iowa.
The family with their newly aquired son-in-law, Richard Lukens, settled on a farm in Benton Co., Iowa. James was a teamster and Richard a blacksmith, by trade, settled in to farming and raising horses. Mark was 15 at this time, so would have been able to be a big help on the farm. James also made harness and bridles for the horses. He had quite a number of horse carts and drays. They raised horses and mules for sale or trade. Mark learned the love of horses from his father. When he was older, he made many trips west, to purchase fresh stock for his father's business.
While on one of these trips, Mark met Charlotte Helms Hill, the daughter of Varnum B. Helms and Anna Adams, of Cedar Falls, Iowa. She was the young widow of William H. H. Hill; who had died from disease, in 1863, during the Civil War. She had been left with four young children. Mark and Charlotte were married on 11 August, 1863, Black Hawk Co. Iowa, and settled in Cedar Falls, Iowa on a farm. On 31 October, 1868, Mark was appointed quardian of the four Hill children, America, Cornelia, Jesse V, and William H.H.
Mark and Charlotte had three sons.
1. James Monroe Tatlow - born 12 May, 1864, Cedar Falls, Iowa, died 4 August, 1935, Crompton, California.
2. Vurnm Tatlow - born 27 March 1866, Cedar Falls, Iowa, died 24 March 1949, Cotesfield, Nebraska. Vurnm was always glad his mother had never given him a middle name, after she had misspelled his first name so badly. I believe she was trying to spell Varnum, after her father.
3. Harry Silver Tatlow - born 30 July 1872, Cedar Falls, Black Hawk Co., Iowa, died 22 May, 1914, Ord, Valley Co., Nebraska.
In 1874/75, Mark moved his family to a homestead on Munson Creek, north of Elba, Nebraska. This farm was later known as the N. A. Skow farm.
Unfortunately, Mark and Charlotte didn't get along very well, so some time after moving, he gave Charlotte the farm which was to care for the children, and they separated. No separation or divorce papers were found. Charlotte soon sold the farm and moved to Ord and later Elyria, Nebraska, leaving the older children to earn their own way. She married her cousin, James Adams on 14 Oct 1875, and taking Harry with her, started raising her third family.
After leaving Charlotte, Mark is found in 1880, working as a farm labourer for Matt Anderson in Cross Plains, Dane Co., Wisconsin. Mark had probably moved there to be near his sister, Sarah, and her husband James Bonner and their family. In 1887, he has moved back to Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and living at E Penn and Ross. His occupation is listed as a driver. In 1890 he is living at 159 Bringhurst St. in Germantown, and still working as a driver.
Mark's son Vurnm, decribed his dad has having, black hair and eyes, with a dark complexion.
According to his grandson, Roy Tatlow, son of James Monroe, Mark remarried. Roy said, "I knew Grandad well. He was a pretty good fellow. The woman he married after he separated from Charlotte, was also a good woman; a lot better to us kids than Grandma Adams. Mark and his wife lived with us for awhile in about 1891, in Cherry Co., Nebraska. In 1901, he again stayed with us at Grand Island, Nebraska. This time he was in bad shape as he couldn't even dress himself, so that was my daily job. (I was 14 years old then.) His wish was to go to Bloomfield Nebraska, to be buried beside his second wife."
According to another grandson, Byron W. Tatlow, son of Vurnm, he visited his grandfather's grave in the Bloomfield Cemetery, but when my mother, Ragnild Gertrude Tatlow, wrote to them in 1978, no grave or tombstone could be located by the sexton of the cemetery.
No substantial proof was found regarding the above family stories. No name was found for his second wife.
In the 1902 Deed from Robert Quincy's will of 1861; following Emma's death in 1899; Mark is listed as a surviving heir.
Mark Tatlow died age 65, cause of death Myocarditis Nephritis, and Senility, on 17 April 1905, at the Philadelphia Hospital; he was sent there from the Almshouse. Both the Philadelphia Hospital and Almshouse was located on S. 34th near Pine, in the 27th Ward. Attending physician was Chester Smith. He was buried 20 April 1905, from the funeral home, Kirk & Nice at 6301 Germantown Avenue, in the the Ivy Hill Cemetery, Lot L. 49, grave #2 back, next to his mother, Emma Tatlow.
At the time of Mark's death, he was listed as a widower. His sister, Kate Stackhouse's signature appears on the Kirk & Nice funeral records.
