Joseph (AKA Josiah) Hemingway was born 12/12/1835 in Canada to Josiah and Elizabeth Lawrence Hemingway.
Siblings: Mary Getman, Calvin, Caroline Sheldon, Aaron, Sarah Stout, Clinton, George and Rilla Crittenden Lansing.
Reportedly Joseph was married 01/07/1857 to Rosalia Fortier? (born 1/29/1832) and had a daughter Ella(born 1858). (The 1860 census shows they were in Rosendale, Wisconsin and the 1870 census shows them in Steele County, Minnesota. The 1895 census shows Joseph living in Minnesota with his brother Calvin...with no mention of Rosalia & Ella.)
Joseph who was listed as Josiah Hemingway was a Civil War Veteran. He is listed as serving as a private in Co. I, 1st Infantry Minnesota. He enlisted April 1865 and was discharged July 27, 1865. His address on the military records lists his address as Cooleyville. (In the book "Minnesota In The Civil And Indian Wars 1861-1865 V1" J.C. Hemmingway is listed under the First Batallion Roster of Company I. He is listed as 28 years of age, mustered in on April 10, 1865 & mustered out July 14, 1865. Page 78. It would appear that Joseph saw very little of the major action...He was mustered in when the First Regiment Minnesota Volunteers ended & it was replaced by the formation of the First Batallion Minnesota Infantry Volunteers at Fort Snelling. The First Batallion was called to the Washington area the end of May 1865 & they were involved in some battles/skirmishes in the area.)
The Dodge County Republican newspaper in January 21, 1897 had the following article :
"The Republican is in receipt of a letter from Joe Hemingway, who left several weeks ago to spend the winter at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. We reproduce the letter in part, whih is as follows:
'Oconomowoc is a summer resort in every sense of the word. The first place we came to yesterday was Oconomowoc Lake. Here the Montgomery Ward & Co. summer house is located. Further up the shore is one of the Peck's. Another Peck owns an island, where a trestle bridge is built at the cost of $15,000. The island contains 4 acres for which he paid $65,000. One and a half miles east is Summit Lake, where Armour has a 200 acre farm. The elegant summer building perched on the hills, and a hot house for plants in the valley make it a place long to be remembered by the visitor.'
In 1900 he married his 2nd wife Mrs. Margaret Anna Broon Wyatt in Spencer, Iowa.(Her 1st husband had died in 1899) They made their home in Ellendale, Minnesota until 1903 when they moved to Gentry, Arkansas. Margaret died November 26,1913. She is buried along with Joseph at Mt. Carmel Cemetry in Gentry, Arkansas.
The above "obit" was put together by Shirley Hemingway with information received from various sources. I have yet to find out exactly what happened to Joseph's 1st wife and their child.
