CARROLL COUNTY IN POSSESSION OF A FAMILY OF FIVE GENERATIONS
Carroll County is in possession of a most remarkable family of five generations, the oldest member of the family of the first generation is Mrs. Margaret Hummer, 89 years of age while the fifth generation or the youngest member of the family is Master Lawrence Neff, three years of age who resides with his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Emmalie Allen in the vicinity of Flora.
The family is not only remarkable in its present possession of five generations, but the senior member of the family, when five years of age, was the youngest member of a family of six generations.
Mrs. Margaret Hummer, nee Smith, was born October 1820 at Ringols, New Jersey, where she has always resided. Jacob S. Hummer, her son and the only surviving member of the second generation, was born in Humderdon County, New Jersey on July 8, 184l. When a young man, Mr. Hummer came to Carroll county, locating on a farm in this township where he resided until several years ago when he returned to the state of his birth to care for his aged mother. On March 11, 1866, at the family home in this city, Mrs. Emmalie H. Allen, nee Hummer, was born and now resides in Monroe Township, representing the third generation of the family. Mrs. Anna Bell Neff, daughter of Mrs. Allen and fourth generation representative, was born in Clinton County December 7, 1882. On December 22, 1905, she was united in marriage to Jack Q Neff of Peoria, Illinois and to this union, one son Lawrence was born at their home then in Burrows on November 17, 1906. On March 11th, Mr. Neff died at his home in Logansport and the widow and son have since made their home with the former's mother near Flora.
The family of five generations is one of considerable interest. Mrs. Hummer, the great grandmother is probably a descendant of the old Smith family of Puritan fame. in a letter recently received by relative in this county, the aged lady tells of her homestead in the eastern state; how her great-great grandfather purchased land from the Indians near Flemington, New Jersey, paying as the purchase price of several acres, a flint guy, an old horse and some whiskey, the latter having been brought from Germany.

"Local Lady Possesses Interesting Souvenirs"
An interesting and historic collection of souvenirs is possessed by Mrs. Emma Newman, widow of Robert Newman, Civil War Veteran.
The most prized is a key that was 6 1/2 inches and given to Mr. Newman by the jailer at the Little Rock, Arkansas jail where Newman was held prisoner by the Confederate forces in the Civil War. When he was released in exchange of prisoners, the jailer gave the key to Mr. Newman.
Another souvenir is a dainty lace infant's hood, which was worn by Mrs. Newman's father, Jacob Hummer of Sedalia. The hood is still in an excellent state of preservation.
