Lytle Web Generation Four

119. ANNA⁴ LYTLE (James³, John², William¹); (in the 1860 census for Allegheny Township, Venango County,³¹⁰ she was listed as Sarah Ann—probably named after James Lytle’s mother), born 20 April 1854 in Pennsylvania; died 24 June, 1927; married 4 July 1874 A. E. WOOD, born circa 1846 in Pennsylvania, died January 1918.

Anna (Lytle) Wood and family eventually lived in Parker’s Landing (now Parker), Hovey Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. In 1880, the family was in Edinburg, Clarion County, Pennsylvania (census page 8B), where A. E. worked in a livery stable. Also in the family in 1880 was A. E.’s brother Charles Wood, born circa 1850 in Pennsylvania; he also worked in a livery stable in 1880. Another brother of A. E. Wood was probably A. P. Wood, born circa 1852 in Pennsylvania; lived near A. E in 1850, where he was listed as a telegraph operator.³¹¹

GLASS, born May 1859 in Pennsylvania; they lived in Enterprise, Southwest Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, where William was an oil producer and also worked in a sawmill. Dane married (second) HARRY J. DOYEN of Southwest Township; he was born circa 1861 in Maine. Harry and Dane moved to Titusville,³¹⁴ where in 1920, he was a wax maker. Previously, he was a foreman in a sawmill in Southwest Township. His first wife was Emma Addie Wright, daughter of Henry and Margaret (Watson) Wright.³¹⁵ Harry and Addie had two sons and a daughter, Harvey (born January 1891), Warren (born August 1898) and Nina Doyen (born circa 1901).³¹⁶

Dane did not have children.

I remember “Aunt Dane” when she was living in Titusville. She was a wonderful person, always cheerful and affectionate, even though late in life she was completely blind because of cataracts. She was my mother’s favorite aunt. We would visit her when she lived in Titusville. She loved children. I can remember her saying, “who’s kissing me now.”

Harry Doyen’s first wife was Emma Addie Wright, born circa 1871, died between the 1910 and 1920 federal censuses. Harry and Addie had two children known from the 1900 federal census for Southwest Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania (census page 3A): (a) Harvey (perhaps Harry) Doyen, born January 1891; and (b) Warren Doyen, born August 1898 (see photo above). Addie (Wright) Doyen was a daughter of Henry and Margaret (Watson) Wright. Margaret Watson was born circa 1839 in Venango County, Pennsylvania, died 21 December 1906 in Enterprise, Southwest Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania. Margaret married Henry Wright, born November 1838, died 1906 in Clarion County, Pennsylvania; the family lived in Oil Creek Township, Venango County and Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

Death of Mrs. J. M. Lytle (Emma), 42 years on 21 Dec. last, in Warren, of rheumatism. Survived by husband, daughter Lenore.

Child of James and Emma Young Lytle:

	257	i.	Lenore⁵ Lytle; born circa 1889 in Pennsylvania; married William Forman, born 1887 in Pennsylvania. The family lived in Tulsa and New Salem, Oklahoma, in the 1920s, before moving to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, by 1930. William was a teacher in public schools. William and Lenore had one child: (a) Mary E. Foreman, born 1920 in Oklahoma.³²¹

123. DAVID⁴ ANDERSON LYTLE (James³, John², William¹); called Ance,³²² born 12 August 1864, still alive in 1948 and living in Lawrence, Kansas;³²³ married (first) MARY BELL (MATTIE) WATSON, born 24 November 1867 in Tidioute, Deerfield Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania; died 7 September 1908. She was a daughter of William J. and Charlotte (Knight) Watson and a granddaughter of William Broadfoot Watson and Elizabeth (Holmden) Watson. Hence David and Mary were first cousins once removed, see #29 of Watson Descendants Report. David married (second), sometime between 1920 and 1930, ROSE A. [—?—], born circa 1873 in Kansas.

For a photograph of Ance, see under his brother, George Alfred, #127

David A. had several oil-related jobs, e. g. Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in 1900 (an oil pumper); Warren County, Pennsylvania, in 1910 (oil well producer); Neosho County, Kansas in 1920 (manager, oil fields), Montgomery County, Kansas in 1930 (proprietor of a gas filling station).³²⁴ He was living in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1948.

Will of Mary Bell Lytle, written 15 June 1908, recorded 19 October 1908;³²⁵ witness was Mrs. W. D. Smith:

I Mary Bell Lytle being in right mind do hereby will the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars to my boy Ray and the same amount to my boy Leonard. The rest I have in my name to my dear husband D. A. Lytle. This is my wish.

Children of David A. and Mattie (Watson) Lytle:³²⁶

	259	ii.	Leonard LeRoy Lytle; born 1 November 1898 in Tidioute, Warren County, Pennsylvania; died January 1971 in Salinas, Monterey County, California;³²⁷ married Edith [—?—], born circa 1900 in California. In 1930, Leonard and Edith, no children at this time, were living in Los Angeles, California, where Leonard was enumerated as a shoe salesman.³²⁸

124. MARION⁴ JOHN LYTLE (James³, John², William¹); called Paint or John, born September 1866 in Pennsylvania; died in the late 1940s or early 1950s in Oklahoma; buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania; married 25 September 1895, “at the bride’s home,” BYRTE (BERTHA) HENDERSON, born July 1868; died 11 July 1935; buried in Fairview Cemetery.

Bertha was a daughter of Marcus Henderson and Ester Jane Kerr and granddaughter of David and Jane (Watson) Henderson, see #44 of Henderson Descendants Report. Hence Marion and Bertha were second cousins. Deeds in the name of Marion John and his wife give the spelling of his wife as Byrte and one as Byrta.³²⁹ However, their marriage license lists her name as Bertha; the license reports Marion John as an oil operator and Bertha as a teacher.³³⁰

John and Bertha and only child Claude were living in Parker, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania in 1900, when John was listed as an oil driller. By 1910, M. John, Bertha and son Claude were back in the Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, area, where John was listed in the oil producing business. John and Bertha eventually moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma.³³¹ In 1948, John attended his brother George Alfred Lytle’s funeral, at which time John was still living in Oklahoma.

I remember Uncle Paint well. He visited my grandmother (his sister) several times while I was growing up. He was an imposing figure and said to have been successful in the oil business in Oklahoma.

BROWN, born July 1872. In 1900, the family was living in Allegheny Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania (census page 7B). Also living with the family in 1900 was Mary’s mother Rachel A. Brown, widow, born July 1832 in New York state.

Clipping from Josephine Lytle Fleming material, dated Van Buren, Indiana. April 26, 1912.
(Contributed):

William A. Lytle was born in Pleasantville, Pa. September 1, 1869. His childhood, youth and young manhood were spent in Pleasantville. He was married to Mary L. Brown, October 30, 1890. Two children were born to this union, Harry L. and Floyd B. Floyd died in Pleasantville at the age of five months. Harry survives to comfort his mother in her bereavement.
After leaving Pleasantville, Mr. Lytle moved with his family to St. Mary’s, O. [Ohio], where they resided for about six months. They then returned to Pleasantville, where they resided for three years, then coming to Van Buren, Ind., ten years ago last fall.
Mr. Lytle united with the M. E. church in Pleasantville in the year 1900, and on coming to Van Buren, where Mr. Lytle remained a faithful member to his decease. Being an oil worker, his attendance at church was frequently interrupted. In his last sickness his pastor visited him very often and he always professed a sincere trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and said it was well with his soul. When informed that his case was hopeless he was cheerful and resigned.
He was a member of Van Buren lodge No. 496, Knights of Pythias, and of the Pythian Sisters. [The Order Knights of Pythias is an international fraternity, founded in 1864. The primary objective is to promote friendship and relieve suffering. Its lessons are based on the friendship of Damon and Pythias, who were members of the school founded by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras.] He was also a member of Marion Court No. 48, Tribe of Ben Hur. He became ill last October. The nature of his illness was not understood for a couple of months until it became apparent that he was afflicted with a tumor of the brain. At first an operation was suggested but later the specialists agreed that it would be attended with fatal results. He was confined to his bed for sixteen weeks, gradually but surely getting weaker until Sunday morning April 21 at 10:40 when he peacefully passed away. His age was 42 years, 7 months and 20 days. He leaves an aged father, four brothers and three sisters, wife, son and many other relatives, besides a host of friends to mourn his departure. A short funeral service was held at his late residence on Monday morning, Rev. L. A. Sevits officiating, and the remains were taken to Pleasantville, Pa., for interment.

Children of William and Mary (Brown) Lytle (both born in Pennsylvania):³³³

	261	i.	Harry⁵ L. Lytle; born November 1891; married Lena [—?—], born circa 1895 in Indiana. In 1910, Harry, single, and living with his parents in Indiana, was a proprietor of a “__ation stand.” Census evidence suggests that by 1920, our Harry and family were in Towanda Township, Butler County, Kansas, where Harry was listed as an oil pumper. Children of this Harry and Lena Lytle known from the 1920 federal census: (a) William F. Lytle, born circa 1913 in Indiana. (b) Robert S. Lytle, born circa 1917 in Indiana. (c) Harry Lytle, Jr., born circa 1920 in Kansas.³³⁴
	262	ii.	Floyd B. Lytles; born circa January 1894; died 16 July 1894 (age 5 months) of bowel inflammation,³³⁵ buried in Pleasantville, probably Fairview Cemetery

JOSEPHINE⁴ LOUISE LYTLE (James³, John², William¹); (my grandmother), born 17 October 1871 in Oil Creek Township, Venango Couny; died 12 July 1951 on the Fleming farm in Oil Creek Township; buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania; married WILLIAM H. FLEMING. born 20 April 1869 in Oil Creek Township, died 4 December 1957 on the Fleming farm. William Fleming was a son of John S. and Hannah Rebecca (Jamison) Fleming, see #47 of the Jamison web site, generation four, web page 1.

127. GEORGE⁴ ALFRED LYTLE (James³, John², William¹); called Allie or Doc, born 19 May 1881 in Pennsylvania; died 31 July 1948 in Caney, Kansas; buried in the IOOF Cemetery, Neosho, Missouri; married (first) September 1904 at Van Buren, Indiana, OLLIE MAY BRADFORD; died June 1930. Note that George’s wife was sometimes also called Allie. George married (second) 8 October 1938 in Independence, Missouri, MYRTLE BRADLEY; she was alive in 1948.³³⁶

George Lytle moved eventually to Neosho, Missouri. However various Fleming clippings mentioning George would indicate he moved frequently; he lived in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. In 1910, George and family were in Lawrence County, Illinois, where George was listed as a tool dresser, oil wells. In 1920, The family was in Washington County, Oklahoma, where George was enumerated as a contractor, oil wells. By 1930, George and Allie (sic) were in Neosho, Missouri, where George was listed as a fruit and poultry raiser.³³⁷

I remember Uncle Allie when he would come and visit his sister (my grandmother) in Venango County, Pennsylvania, in the late 1930s and 1940s.

From a clipping in the Fleming family material, no date given

CANEY [Kansas], Aug 2 1948. George A. “Doc” Lytle, 67, father of James S. Lytle, 605 Cline Road, Coffeyville, died at 10 p. m. Saturday in the hospital in Caney [Montgomery County, Kansas]. Lytle, a well–known oil producer in this vicinity, had been in failing health since, January, but became seriously ill only Saturday. He was taken to the hospital just two hours prior to his death.
He moved from Tyro [also Montgomery Co., Kansas, about 7 miles east of Caney] to Caney in May 1947, and 15 months ago sold out oil productions interests to the Rock Island Oil Co. He had served as superintendent of the Tidewater Oil Co. and later as an independent producer.
Lytle was born May 19, 1881, in Venango county, Pa. He had lived in Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada, Mo., before going to Tyro in 1936. He was married in September, 1904, at Van Buren, Ind., to Ollie May Bradford, who died in June, 1930. On Oct. 8, 1938, he married at Independence to Myrtle Bradford, who survives. Lytle had held membership in the Masonic order.
Survivors, other than his wife and the son here, are two brothers, D. A. Lytle of Lawrence and N. J. [sic—should be M. J.] Lytle of Tulsa; a sister, Mrs. Will Fleming, Pleasantville, Pa., and two grandchildren.Coffeeville, Tyro and Caney are in Montgomery County, south-eastern Kansas, close to the Oklahoma border. If one were to draw a 50 mile radius with the center being where Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma intersect, that region would encompass much of the area where the Oil Creek Lytle and Fleming ancestors were active in the oil industry in the early twentieth century.
