An innovation in union Memorial services was made this year by various of our secret societies. Instead of each society holding its own memorial, at one of the other of the churches, they all bunched together and marching to the Creswell opera house, made that the main portion of the entire services of the year for all alike. The plan has been most successful in every particular….
At 1 o'clock the members of the various lodges, tents and courts met in their several rooms, from which, at the bugle call, they marched to the corner of Maumee and Winter streets where the big procession was formed under command of Captain Frank ulrich, marshal of the day, with Will Lossing as aide. The lodges were escorted by Adrian Civic and Military battalion, under the command of Col. W.F. Bradley…
Following the services the procession formed once more and marching out Main street in the order named, went to Oakwood cemetery, where each order proceeded to lay flowers on the graves of the departed. At its conclusion the parade marched back to the city by way of Locust and Maumee streets. The graves of those decorated are as follows:

AN OLD RELIC.
It Adorns the House of the Late
Capt. A.S. Angevine.
Large Shield Taken From the Flag
Ship of Commodore Perry.
A letter received by Mrs. Louise Barnum Robbins, of this city, from Detroit, reminds the older residents of Adrian of a relic of the war of 1812, which they have in their midst. The story is best told in the words of an extract that is taken from the Washington Times. It says:
"Lying in a heap of debris in the back yard of Charles Bolthouse, at Ferrysburg, Mich., is all that is left of the old sloop Porcupine, of Commodore Olive Hazard Perry's fleet--one of the little gun vessels with one gun which sailed into close action with the British squadron at the battle of Lake Erie, and won the battle after the heavy Lawrence had been riddled and sunk. After several years as a diminutive man-of-war on the lakes, 60 years as a lake trader, and a few years as a fisherman's boat, and 24 years as a sunken wreck in Spring lake, the sloop now is falling to pieces in the yard of the man who rescued it from its grave in the sand and water. The stern post has been taken from the debris and will come into life again as a part of the porch of a Michigan physician's summer home."
This little history has brought up reminiscences of old days in this part of Michigan, which cut such a figure in days that were lively between the British and the United States, as we were then on the border line of two great nations--at least one great nation, and another one that was destined to be great. It is learned that on South Main street in this city is a dwelling whose front is adorned with a large shield above the door. The material was taken from the ship Lawrence, and bears in decayed and scarcely traceable letters the old Democratic campaign motto: "Free trade and sailor's rights." The shield was once the property of Capt. A.S. Angevine, and he put it into the front of his house. Weather has made its mark on the old shield, and later day painters have painted over it, but the lines can still be seen there.
The house is now owned and occupied by Robt. Thompson, who purchased it from Capt. Angevine. The number of the house is 102 South Main street. Mr. Thompson refused to let the old relic go, because it would necessitate the tearing out of a portion of the front, and he prizes it as highly as anyone else would. Therefore, Mrs. Robbins has sent a refusal to the Detroit parties.
In 1908, Mrs. Robbins founded the Lucy Wolcott Barnum Chapter of the DAR at Adrian, Michigan.
A stained glass transom with the date 1913 was added to the Angevine-Thompson house apparently in 1913, probably when the Perry shield was removed.

Then All Marched to Oakwood to
Decorate Graves.
An innovation in union Memorial services was made this year by various of our secret societies. Instead of each society holding its own memorial, at one of the other of the churches, they all bunched together and marching to the Creswell opera house, made that the main portion of the entire services of the year for all alike. The plan has been most successful in every particular….
At 1 o'clock the members of the various lodges, tents and courts met in their several rooms, from which, at the bugle call, they marched to the corner of Maumee and Winter streets where the big procession was formed under command of Captain Frank ulrich, marshal of the day, with Will Lossing as aide. The lodges were escorted by Adrian Civic and Military battalion, under the command of Col. W.F. Bradley…
Following the services the procession formed once more and marching out Main street in the order named, went to Oakwood cemetery, where each order proceeded to lay flowers on the graves of the departed. At its conclusion the parade marched back to the city by way of Locust and Maumee streets. The graves of those decorated are as follows:

AN OLD RELIC.
It Adorns the House of the Late
Capt. A.S. Angevine.
Large Shield Taken From the Flag
Ship of Commodore Perry.
A letter received by Mrs. Louise Barnum Robbins, of this city, from Detroit, reminds the older residents of Adrian of a relic of the war of 1812, which they have in their midst. The story is best told in the words of an extract that is taken from the Washington Times. It says:
"Lying in a heap of debris in the back yard of Charles Bolthouse, at Ferrysburg, Mich., is all that is left of the old sloop Porcupine, of Commodore Olive Hazard Perry's fleet--one of the little gun vessels with one gun which sailed into close action with the British squadron at the battle of Lake Erie, and won the battle after the heavy Lawrence had been riddled and sunk. After several years as a diminutive man-of-war on the lakes, 60 years as a lake trader, and a few years as a fisherman's boat, and 24 years as a sunken wreck in Spring lake, the sloop now is falling to pieces in the yard of the man who rescued it from its grave in the sand and water. The stern post has been taken from the debris and will come into life again as a part of the porch of a Michigan physician's summer home."
This little history has brought up reminiscences of old days in this part of Michigan, which cut such a figure in days that were lively between the British and the United States, as we were then on the border line of two great nations--at least one great nation, and another one that was destined to be great. It is learned that on South Main street in this city is a dwelling whose front is adorned with a large shield above the door. The material was taken from the ship Lawrence, and bears in decayed and scarcely traceable letters the old Democratic campaign motto: "Free trade and sailor's rights." The shield was once the property of Capt. A.S. Angevine, and he put it into the front of his house. Weather has made its mark on the old shield, and later day painters have painted over it, but the lines can still be seen there.
The house is now owned and occupied by Robt. Thompson, who purchased it from Capt. Angevine. The number of the house is 102 South Main street. Mr. Thompson refused to let the old relic go, because it would necessitate the tearing out of a portion of the front, and he prizes it as highly as anyone else would. Therefore, Mrs. Robbins has sent a refusal to the Detroit parties.
In 1908, Mrs. Robbins founded the Lucy Wolcott Barnum Chapter of the DAR at Adrian, Michigan.
A stained glass transom with the date 1913 was added to the Angevine-Thompson house apparently in 1913, probably when the Perry shield was removed.

+ Pierre Angevine
Son of Capt. Peter Angevine and Sarah (Conklin) Angevine. Grandson of Revolutionary War soldier Joseph Angevine.
He was born in Putnam Valley, Putnam County, New York, at that time called Philipstown then in Dutchess County, near Carmel.
His father Peter Angevine (born 25 July 1779, died 27 Apr 1852) married on March 12, 1803, Sarah Conklin (Conklyn), born Jan. 18, 1779 Dutchess Co., New York; died July 30, 1823 Putnam Co., N.Y.
Peter Angevine married, as his second wife, Esther (Lickley) Purdy on Nov. 25, 1824. She was widow of his cousin Elias A. Purdy, son of Isaac Purdy Jr. and Susannah (Angevine) Purdy who was the daughter of Eli Angevine and Charity (Bonet) Purdy and granddaughter of Pierre Angevine and Marguerite deBonrepos.
Esther (Lickley) Purdy Angevine was born Nov. 9, 1792, and died June 27, 1825. She was a sister William Lickley, father of Phebe (Lickley) Warren, the wife of Sylvanus Warren of Carmel, a 5th-great-grandson of Richard Warren of the "Mayflower." This Sylvanus Warren was an uncle of Angevine Warren, incidentally, and their daughter Emily Warren Roebling (1843-1903), first cousin of Angevine Warren and also Allen Angevine's half-brother Abraham Angevine, was a well known socialite and author of Notes on the Warren Family, "Descendants of Richard Warren of the Mayflower" (1903), as well as editor of The Diary of Rev. Silas Constant (1902). She was most famous for helping her engineer husband complete the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
1818 Council of Appointment, Military Records 1784-1821, page 1906: (1818) Dutchess Co., NY 149th Regiment; Light Infantry - Peter Angevine, Captain.
Capt. Peter Angevine owned 300 acres at Royalton, Niagra County, N.Y. in 1831.
Allen S. Angevine moved to Royalton, in Niagara County, New York, with his father in 1831, settling near Sylvanus Warren, a distant cousin of Emily Roebling's father of the same name.
Allen Angevine married at Royalton in 1833 to Maria Harriet Warren and moved to Michigan in the spring of 1835, living first at Fairfield and Madison before moving to Adrian between 1850-58. The Angevine home was located at 49 South Main Street. Tax rolls and city directories show the numbering changed over the years with the same house being located at number 261, 51, 102, 104, and from 1915 to today at 562 South Main. The frame house there now appears to have been rebuilt around the turn of the 20th century but the 1901 article cited below says it was the former Angevine house still standing at that time. A.S. Angevine owned a carpentry shop that constructed wooden railway carriages and boxcars. "They did a large business, employing several carpenters. ...and he had several other railroad business interests." The 1859 city directory lists him as employed by the M.S. & N.I. R.R.) "He had an office at the train depot." His sons Warren, Franklin and Allen went to work for the railroad also. His eldest son, Saxton Smith Angevine, went into the newspaper business, editor and publisher of a newspaper at Grenada, Mississippi.

Adrian, Michigan WEEKLY PRESS, Sept. 6, 1878, p.3, column 2: "Among the deaths by yellow fever at Grenada, Miss., we notice S.S. Angevine and Mary Lou Angevine, his daughter. The former is a son of A.S. Angevine of this city."
After his wife's death in 1889, Allen S. Angevine went to St. Louis, where he lived with his son Frank and died at 1719 Gratiot Street. This was 9 blocks from the Gratiot Street Prison and the Brant Mansion, considered the finest home in St. Louis in its day.
The Adrian DAILY TIMES & EXPOSITOR, Feb. 16, 1898, page 3, column 2: "The remains of A.S. Angevine, accompanied by his son, Frank, reached the city this morning from St. Louis, via the Wabash. They were met by a committee of four from the Odd Fellows. Messrs. A. Dobbins, James L. Kirk, Channing Whitney and F.L. Hough. Mr. Angevine was next to D.D. Sinclair, the oldest in membership of the order of Odd Fellows, having been a member for over 50 years. The funeral will be under the auspices of Lodge No. 8, associated with Rev. J.B. Banker, of the First Baptist church. The Odd Fellows will meet at the lodge room at 1:30 Thursday afternoon to attend the funeral."
The Adrian WEEKLY PRESS, Feb. 18, 1898, p.3, column 3:
"A.S. Angevine, one of the most estimable old pioneer residents of Adrian, died last Sunday at the home of his son, in St. Louis, Mo., with whom he had lived for the past eight years. He was one of the oldest in membership of Adrian lodge No. 8, I.O.O.F., of which he was past grand, and for years resided at his home on South Main street. He was a man of genial disposition, the soul of honor, a typical representative of upright manhood in every respect. Death came by reason of age, he being over 87 years old. The remains were brought here for interment. The funeral was under the auspices of Adrian lodge I.O.O.F. Thursday afternoon from the chapel of the M.P. church, Rev. Banker assisting in the services."
