Samuel PETHERAM (Richard 3, James 2, Robert 1) was born
June 16, 1839 in Lympsham, Somerset Co., England,
and died
March 10, 1896 in Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan
County. He
married Melissa RYERSE January 07, 1865 in Woodhouse
Township, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada.
Wittnessed by {W.}
S. Griffin and David _?_. Married by N. Willou,
daughter of
Robert RYERSE and Eliza UNDERHILL. She was born
June 14,
1844 in Port Ryerse, Norfolk County, Ontario,
Canada, and died
April 15, 1899 in Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan
County.
Notes for Samuel PETHERAM: Samuel was residing in Rockford, Ontario, Canada when he married Melissa
Ryerse. Witness to their marriage; [W.]S. Griffin and David ------.
In Sam's obituary it was stated he came to Michigan
when he was 27. So most likely this was in the year 1866. Sam and Melissa lived next to his sister Eliza Jane Souter and was
listed as a farmer in the 1870
census.
On three birth records of his children, Sam was listed as a Shoemaker. Samuel
and Melissa lived on Market Street in Holland City, Michigan then later moved to Saugatuck, Allegan County, Michigan. They
were living with their daughter and her family who resided in Saugatuck.
Samuel and Melissa had at least ten children
of which only our Erie Alice survived to carry on the descendancy.
More About Samuel PETHERAM:
Baptism: St.
Christopher's Church, Lympsham
Burial: Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan County.
Occupation: Shoemaker 2
Notes for Melissa RYERSE:
Melissa reportedly met Samuel when he was fitting her and her brother for boots. It
is believed they came to Michigan about 1866.
Melissa must have helped care for her first grandchild Lurah Melissa
as she was living with Erie and David when Lurah was born in September of 1898. How precious that time was to be especially
since Melissa had lost so many other babies over the years. Then tragedy.
In April of 1899 Melissa fell down the stairs
while living at her daughter, Erie Alice Reed's home in Saugatuck, Michigan. Per Melissa's obituary she never recovered and
died of a fractured skull. Melissa was 55 years old.
More About Melissa RYERSE:
Burial: Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan County.
Occupation:
Housekeeper 3
Children of Samuel Petheram and Melissa Ryerse are:
58 i. Alice May PETHERAM, born September 29,
1865 in
Rockford,
Ontario, Canada; died September 29, 1865 in
Rockford,
Ontario, Canada.
Notes for Alice May PETHERAM:
This Alice May might be the same Alice as the second born? But
I did find a Michigan death record for an Alice May Petheram who died 20th July of 1870 of Diphtheria. The record has
the father listed as Samuel "Petherton" and mother as Eliza Jane "Petherton. Samuel had a sister by the name of Eliza Jane.
It is ossible that Eliza helped in the reporting of the death of this child.
59 ii.
Alice May PETHERAM, born possibly, November 1866 in
Rockford, Ontario, Canada; died July 20, 1870 in Holland,
Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for Alice May PETHERAM:
Alice May died when she was three years old
of Diphtheria per Holland, Ottawa County, Michigan death records. But on 1870 census Alice was 6 years old. One of the ages
is probably in error or were there two children named Alice May? Alice could have been born in Canada, and not Holland, Michigan
as listed on the death record. Alice was on the 1870 census which leads me to believe she was ill when census was taken and
dying as it was being recorded. On 1870 death record parents are listed as Samuel "Petherton" and Eliza Jane
"Petherton."
Eliza Jane is Samuel's sister and lived next door. It is possible that Eliza Jane could have helped in reporting this child's
death.
60 iii. Arthur Edmond PETHERAM, born August 21, 1867
in
Rockford, Ontario, Canada; died November 19, 1878 in
Holland City, Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for Arthur Edmond PETHERAM: Arthur E. (may
stand for Edmond as this name appeared on 1870 census as
Edmin) Edmond was probably born in Rockford, Norfolk
County, Canada. Arthur Edmond died at 11 years, 2 mos.,
29 days old of Typhoid. His mom and dad on the death
record are Samuel and Melissa "Petherton."
61 iv. John PETHERAM
(twin), born May 11, 1870 in Holland,
Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for John PETHERAM (twin):
I will be checking to see if there is a grave site for
this twin in Ottawa or Allegan County, Michigan. No sex listed and no name given on birth record. Family provided information
that the twins were boys.
I found the twins on the 1870 Ottawa County, census with John being listed first. John must
have died prior to 1880 Ottawa County Census as he is not listed in the census with Samuel and Melissa.
62 v. Jacob PETHERAM (twin), born May 11, 1870 in Holland,
Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for Jacob PETHERAM (twin):
I will be checking to see if there is a grave site for
this twin in Ottawa or Allegan County, Michigan. No sex and no name listed on birth record. Samuel was listed as a farmer
and both Samuel and Melissa had birth places listed as unknown. Family provided information that the twins were boys. Found
Jacob on 1870 Ottawa County, Michigan census record. Older twin John listed first? Died before 1880 as Jacob is not on the
1880 Census of Ottawa County with Samuel and Melissa.
63 vi.
Mary PETHERAM, born July 13, 1871 in Holland, Ottawa
County, Michigan.
Notes for Mary PETHERAM:
Samuel is listed as a shoemaker and both Samuel and Melissa
are recorded as Canadian. Have to check death records to see when this baby died. Mary is not on the 1880 Census in Ottawa
County with Samuel and Melissa.

City, Michigan, Ottawa County; died December 18, 1942

Baby Petheram was listed as stillborn
on birth record.
66 ix. Nellie May PETHERAM, born
May 02, 1879 in Holland,
Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for Nellie May PETHERAM:
I will have to try and find a death record or grave
site for Nellie May, on Nellie's birth record, Samuel is listed as a shoemaker and place of birth England. Melissa's place
of birth, Canada. Nellie May is not listed on the 1880 Census record with Samuel and Melissa.
67
x. Minnie M. PETHERAM, born April 1881 in Saugatuck ?;
died November 17, 1903 in Saugatuck, Allegan County,
Michigan.
Notes for Minnie M. PETHERAM:
I will need to check for a grave site probably in Saugatuck, Allegan
County, Michigan for Minnie. On the 1900 Allegan Co. Census, Minnie is living with her brother-in-law David and sister Erie
Alice Reed and was 19 years old, single, no occupation listed. Her mother, Melissa Ryerse Petheram had died in 1899 at David
and Erie's house when she fell down the stairs and fractured her skull. Minnie died from an abscess per death records. Under
employment Minnie was listed as incompetent.
68 xi.
Child of "PETHEM", born unknown date; died April 20,
1880 in Holland, Ottawa County, Michigan.
Notes for Child of "PETHEM":
I do not know who this child is for sure.
Listed as parents are Mr. Petham and Louisa Petham. Did Melissa have a middle name or did the recording clerk hear the name
incorrectly?

England, and

Jennie in Holland with his wife Melissa Ryerse and family in 1870 per census information. Samuel was a witness at his sister's
marriage in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada.

was born July 11, 1874 in Holland City, Michigan,
Ottawa County,
and died December 18, 1942 in Saginaw. Michigan,

Burial: Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan County.
Notes for David Samuel REED:
David
was a member of the Methodist Church in Saugatuck and was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Saugatuck also. As the years had
gone by and the automobile became the main mode of transportation, the old Blacksmith's trade and the buggy shop that David's
father Samuel had started in Saugatuck, went by the wayside. David had learned the trade from his father and helped run S.
C. Reed & Sons until times became just too difficult to keep the shop in business. David's brother Roger also worked in
the shop in his younger days.
In 1930 David and Erie lived on South Thayer Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their son,
David, "Buster" had written them and this postcard has the address on Thayer Street in Ann Arbor. David may have worked for
the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, after closing down the blacksmith and buggy shop, as his brother Roger was also
there at this time working in Security.
In 1938 Erie and David were living at 1717 S. Bates in Saginaw, Michigan.
At the time of David's death in August of 1939, he and Erie were at the home of his daughter Lurah Reed Neymeiyer.
At grave sites is written:

Saugatuck, Michigan, Allegan County, and died July 23,

(Jan
NIEMEYER/NIJMEIJER) NEYMEIYER September 27, 1920 in
Grand Rapids, MIichigan, Kent County, by a Justice of
the Peace.
John was the son of Albert NIEMEYER/NIJMEIJER and Jantien
"Jennie" BLANKE. He was born March 13, 1891 in Grand
Rapids., Michigan, Kent County, and died December 07,
1956 in

Notes for Lurah
Melissa REED:
Lurah was named after her grandmother, Melissa (Ryerse) Petheram and after her Dad's brother's wife, Roger
E., who was named, Lurah (JAMES) REED. {Lurah (JAMES) REED was only 26 when she died of Consumption in 1893.}
Our
Lurah was listed as a saleslady on her marriage license and told her granddaughter Barbara she was married in a navy blue
suit. Grandma's wishes were that her name be passed along in the family. She was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star
and Second Presbyterian Church in Saginaw Township, Saginaw, Michigan.
Grandma and Grandpa met while both participating
in Vaudeville. Grandpa played piano and also sang with his church as a young man in Grand Rapids Michigan. He learned the
trade of Cabinetmaking after leaving school when he was 14 years old.
My family lived in a smaller home on the farm
on Stroebel Road, next door to Grandma and Grandpa for many years. After Grandpa had died we eventually moved into the farm
house with grandma and lived with her until about 1963. Gram was special to us as she had helped to care for us when our mom
became ill. A bright and resourceful true lady who I remember learning so much from. She was meticulous about the proper way
to do things. From going out to the chicken coop, picking out a hen for dinner, including plucking feathers from that hen
to managing her business affairs. I fondly recall Gram on her knees digging up tulip bulbs to separate and replant around
the large oval driveway at the farm. It must have been her Dutch Heritage!

Grand Rapids moving to Owosso then to Saginaw in 1923 when he was hand picked to manage Saginaw Furniture Company, the main
headquarters being in Chicago, Illinois. He helped to design, fine handcrafted furniture rich with carvings and hand decorated
with flowers, gold leaf and mahogany wood and veneers. Classic furniture now.
John designed and built his home in
Golfside before purchasing his "Gentleman's Dairy" farm in James Township, Saginaw County. He first founded Oil Well Service,
Inc., and then John Neymeiyer Oil Company. He was an Honorary Member of the Smithsonian Institute of Arts and member
of The Furniture Club of America.
Memories of Grandpa coming home from work, always dressed in a suit, vest and tie
with a hat. He was a dynamic businessman, managing his furniture plant and when W.W. II arrived he geared this plant to fight
in the War effort. He bought and traded for property obtaining mineral rights and proceeded to drill and even "hit" that rich
black vein of oil on occasion. We could tell when this happened because when he drove into the driveway his car had quite
an oil smell. Investing for his children and grandchildren's future was the ultimate as I, his granddaughter Barbara and my
brother Gary traced his business dealings in Oil & Gas ventures all across Michigan. Grandpa bought cottages for his children
and their children to enjoy. His most beloved purchases were the cabin cruisers he owned. First. a 46 foot Chris Craft and
then a few years later a 53 foot Chris Craft. Both boats were named after his wife and were called, "Lurah M."

Notes for Alice May NEYMEIYER:
Alice May was named after her Grandmother Erie Alice Petheram Reed and Erie Alice's sister Alice May. Grandma Neymeiyer
told me it was a family name.
Howard, "Tommie" and Alice met in Washington D.C. in Layfayette Park across the street
from the White House. It was the day before W.W. II was officialy announced the U.S. had won the war. But many in D.C. knew
before the official announcement and had gathered in Layfayette Park to share in the joy. Dad got mom's phone number from
her roommate because at the time mom would not even acknowledge dad's exsistence. Dad carried that phone number in his wallet
until the day he died. Mom was working in the Pentagon as a Secretary and dad was healing from the last surgery on his left
arm from wounds received in the South Pacific. He also was recovering from Malaria. They lived in New York after they married,
then back to Michigan when mom discovered she was going to have a baby. She had not wanted to bring up a child in the atmosphere
of New York City and young aspiring actors. Dad was working at the Post Office in New York City, had a portfolio of professional
photographs made, and was working as a stand in for Rock Hudson. But with a new baby on the way, New York was left behind
and mom and dad returned to Michigan to raise their family.
