Shelley and Quince Families
Frances and Mary Jane (Shanberg) Shelley were natives of France, and members of the Catholic church. Mr. Shelley attended in Paris seven years, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Shelley were married in France and there in France were born seven children. Mary, Catherine, Mary Ann, Martha, Lovina, Henry and Victoria. Francis Jr., and Peter were born in this country. The family emigrated to America in 1831 and settled in Richland county. In 1840 the family came to Paulding county and entered 80 acres of land one mile north of Payne on north-east corner. They built their cabin where the home of Mr. Cox now stands. They lived there with their family until the death of Mr. Shelley, August 6 1866.
Mrs. Emma Bodey a grand-daughter remembers hearing them tell of the roof blowing off the cabin one night. The parents and daughters slept downstairs in the small cabin and the sons in the loft. This night a man way-farer was a guest and the boys and guest were compelled to descend quickly in abbreviated costumes. While the parents remained faithful to the Catholic faith, the children later joined the United Brethren church. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Shelley made her home with her son Henry Shelley who lived in the home at Lamb's corners and with her daughter Mrs. Quince. She died March 20, 1885, aged 94 years. Each of these sons were given on their marriage forty acres of land. Henry earned the forty acres across from the Hiram Underwood farm with the proceeds of night's coon hunting and sold it $75.00.
Mary the eldest daughter of Francis and Mary Jane Shanberg became the wife of John McGill. They lived just south of the Lehman school house south of bridge. Had no children.

Mary Ann married Solomon Mott of Vernon Junction, Ohio. Friends here only know of one daughter, Julia. Mrs. Mott is now living at the age of 90 years.
Martha chose for her husband, William Holmes and the family moved to Iowa, cannot ascertain names of children. Lovina married Maurice Keller and for many years lived on South Main street and built the house in which Miss Nellie Bradley lives. They had no children.
Henry Shelley was born near Paris, France, Dec. 26, 1829. He was two years of age when his parents came to this country. Henry Shelley was married three times. His first wife was Miss Abagail Chaney the daughter of Charles Chaney of this county, one son Charles was born to them. The wife died and Mr. Shelley married Miss Mahala Mikle, a sister of Daniel Mikle. Their children were Abram, Louisa the wife of L. Leeth and three deceased. Mrs. Mahala Shelley died in 1866. In 1869, Julia Myton the daughter of Robert and Rhoda Homan Myton of German lineage became the third wife. Their children were Carrie who died in 1883, Emma born May 21, 1875 and wife of Isaac Body. Victoria born Sept. 5, 1877. Ada May born May 23, 1881 and wife of George Fugate, and Lucy born June 27, 1889.

Tipton Couple Will Observe 65th Wedding Anniversary |
Address: "Paulding County Republican" |
—To many people, this coming Sunday, April 3rd, won't mean much. It will be just another Sunday. But to Mr. and Mrs. Leven Leeth it will be a very special day, for it will mark their 65th year of married life.Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are pictured above in their home one and one-half miles northeast of Tipton in Blue Creek township. They plan to spend the wedding anniversary day quietly at their home.
—Yes, 65 years ago, in 1884, Lven Leeth and Louisa Shelly were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the bride
s home, north of Payne in Paulding County. And looking back over those 65 years Mr. Leeth who celebrated his 93rd birthday March 17th, and Mrs. Leeth will be 82 Junde 18th, both agree that they were all good years and happy ones. And they still are, for both Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are in remarkably good health and fine spirits - although they admit that they're beginning to notice their age a bit now and then.
—Paulding County Native
Mrs. Leeth is a true Paulding County native, for she was born near Payne, and has lived here all her life. And although Mr. Leeth can now consider himself as one of the oldest residents in Paulding County, he is not a real native of the place, for he was born in Pike County, and lived in Logan County a number of years before he came to live with his family in Harrison Township.
—Mr Leeth still remembers when he first came to Paulding County in 1872 when he was only 16 years old. The old canal was still in commission at the time, and still being used for freight. However, it was not long before the last boat to leave Antwerp on the canal was loaded with lumber and made the historical last trip. Mr Leeth can lay claim to a distinction of sorts, for he was one of the men that helped load the boat for its last trip.
—Reservoir Incident
Outstanding among the recollections in his mind of the days long since gone by, is one about the blowing up of the reservoir, the waters of which covered the land of several farmers who had their farms taken from them when the reservoir was built.
—He well remembers the feeling and talk that led up to the decision to blow it up, the quiet well organized group of 100 men or so, who loaded a half ton of dynamite into a wagon one night, calmly set the fuses and proceeded to blow the reservoir up. The water poured into the Maumee River, the men got their land back, no one was hurt, and as there was no following investigation, the whole incident turned out very successfully.
—Remembers Civil War
Although to most of us, the Civil War is just something to be studied and read about in school, to Mr. Leeth it is a part of his memories of his childhood. He remembers the day an official rode up to his parents home on a bay horse to serve draft orders on his father and how his mother cried. However, his father did as so many of his time did-and paid the customary bounty (in his case it was $300) to a fellow to act as substitute in his place.
—As a result, his father was still around at the time of Morgan's Raid on the area around Pike County, and was among the number of men who stood guard over various bridges to prevent Morgan from blowing them up.
—Sixty-five years of married life have blessed the Leeth's with a family of nine children )five boys and four girls) and well over-believe it or not-one hundred grandchildren and great grandchildren. In addition to this amazing figure, they claim three great-great-grandchildren.
—The children are: John Mathias, at home; Ethel, or Mrs. Frances Maxwell, near Fort Wayne; Charles Henry, West Manchester, Ohio; Annie Edith or Mrs. Johnas Brown, Rome City, Indiana; Harry Lindley, Fort Wayne; Rhoda Velta, or Mrs. Alfred Baughman, Holly, Michigan; David Edward, near Payne; and Lafayette Elias, Briceton. A daughter, Gertrude Louisa, died.

MEMORIES... by Charlotte (Leeth) Beck
When my grandparents lived with us I remember grandma sitting on the porch drinking beer and eating saltine crackers. She would sit in the rocker, rocking back and forth, sipping on her beer and eating crackers until she got a little "tipsy" and giggled. Grandma liked to tell jokes and play practical jokes on people, but, grandpa did not care for either and would become irritated. I remember that she would never lift a finger to help my mother around the house, not even in child birth. My father said grandma was raised in a convent after her mother died but I don't know where or have proof.
