All data from Durrell. Mary was the author of the family poem. Notefrom McLeester - On Jan 2 1999 Dale Durrell sent me the following:
F A M I L Y H I S T O R Y
My ancestors came from the little state of Maine.
The Durrells were prolific and so I can maintain
that John wanted "elbow room," so he thought it best
to take the four he then had out into the West.
He was one of seventeen. With Durrells at that rate
very soon the tribe would need for itself a state,
just for Durrells to breathe deep, swing their arms, and shout,
and while they were about it, for a living scout.
Grandpa wasn't tall but his chest was fourty-odd.
He had farmed, and he had fished off Newfoundland for cod;
he had chopped and sawed pine trees along the Kennebec,
and driven logs down that stream at big sawmills to deck.
Grandpa wanted just the best when he chose a wife.
Mary Paine filled the bill. Their marriage was for life.
A formal education had been beyond his reach
but honor, truth and justice were his own to teach.
Grandma's father preached - a religious life was hers.
Grandpa disagreed with her, but as oft occurs,
he didn't argue with her and never interfered
with what she taught the children thay together reared.
They went to Wisconsin - the small town of Monroe.
If they didn't find room there, farther West they'd go.
They were there a long time and six more children came,
and one baby died there, - the one with Grandpa's name
Georgianna, Olney, Joseph and Angier
were the ones born in Maine: I want to make that clear.
Isabel, Josephine, Elida, you will see,
were followed by Olive, John and Moses T.
Georgianna left the home when she was fourteen
and married a scamp, Ri Judd, he was really mean.
When their little daughter died, Judd went far away
leaving wife and little son forever and a day.
Of course, Grandpa brought them home and reared Clint with his own.
Strong boys were assets then, when from babies grown.
That made five for Grandpa; all made big fine men
with will to work, so Grandpa would gladly have had ten.
They could do all sorts of work - clearing the rough land,
making stake-and-rider fences with rails split by hand,
breaking sod and sewing grain, rye, oats and wheat,
planting corn, potatoes beans to have enought to eat.
And feed the stock, with some to sell. They also planted flax.
With scythes, hand rakes and pitch forks made meadow-grass haystacks;
built a house to live in with stables for the stock;
a cellar and a well they dug and walled them up with rock.
The five girls were not idle. They could sew and knit,
card and spin the flax and wool and make good cloth from it;
could weave carpet, braid rugs, patch, crochet and quilt,
wash and iron, scrub and dust the home the boys had built.
They could cook, make garden, milk, make good butter and cheese;
pick the geese for feather beds, anything to please.
So many there to work for, so many clothes to make,
they were all kept busy for everybody's sake.
The Durrell's all were patriots, the Union loved by each,
from Great Lakes to the Gulf, from east coast to western beach.
When the great Rebellion came, Grandpa joined the ranks
of those blue-clad soldiers the Rebels called "damn Yanks."
But he was past his prime and no longer fit,
and heat and army training didn't help a bit.
Very soon his illness so serious had become
that he was honorably discharged and sent back to his home.
Then in 1864, two sons said they would go,
eighteen-year-old Olney and sixteen-year-old Joe.
And before the end came another volunteer
to help save the Union - fifteen-year-old Angier.
In the Atlanta campaign a chance rifle shot
lost Olney a finger - then typhoid he caught.
While he spent weeks twixt life and death, his unit went far
and he served near Nashville the rest of the War.
There was much fierce fighting before Atlanta fell,
the kind, no doubt, that Sherman meant when he said, "war is Hell."
Grant said "major battles," and "Sherman faught them right."
with Third Wisconsin Volunteers Joe did his mite.
Then "marching through Georgia, bringing jubilee
sixty miles in latitude three hundred to the sea."
To battle weary soldiers brought many a woe;
rheumatism in his ankles made one for Joe.
An army on the march dosen't wait for any man
so colonel Hawley told Joe, "come on as best you can."
Sometimes a sutler's wagon carried him awhile
but he walked as a cripple many a weary mile.
Sometimes a big black man walking by the road
said, "I'se gwine yo' way, Boss, lemme tote yo' load."
At length they reached Sevannah and Joe was with his mess.
Then began another march to the north no less.
This time there was no fighting, just a steady slog
up through the Carolinas with rain and mud and fog.
this wasn't too discouraging for they knew what it meant
Washington, the Grand Review, then home they'd be sent.
Peace at last! Home again. The family all together.
No one living out of doors in every kinds of weather.
Food and shelter; hard work; good living, day by day.
Then the family left Monroe - moved to Iowa.
They found a place to suit them north and east of Pilot Mound
and made a comfortable home on that piece of ground.
On the north a maple grove, an orchard on the east;
southwest a barn and pasture cared for every beast.
Children here matured, married, and began to roam;
but whether they were near or far, long they called it "home."
When it's roots have grown deep, a tree is hard to kill,
Joseph's Mary, born there, loves it as home still.
When a family went back Sunday, it was apt to find
several of the families were of the same mind.
they pitched horse shoes, played croquet, used the pole swing,
admired crops and animals and talked of everything.
One day when a lot of grandchildren were there
and a long extra table they had to prepare
I heard Grandpa wish that a hundred he had
and a table long enough for every lass and lad.
From John and Mary's marriage in that little state of Maine
the list of grandchildren makes a great long chain.
more than fifty children called them Grandpa and Grandma
and a finer bunch of fifty, no one ever saw.
When all the children were in homes of their own
and John and Mary left in that big house all alone,
Uncle Olney bought the place - the old folks moved to town.
Respected, honored, loved 'till their lives they laid down.
Mary (Durrell) Whitney
