THORPE RECORD
The library of the First Baptist Church in Kentwood, Louisiana was
presented a 120-page bound typescript by Clyde Alonzo Thorpe three days
before his death 10 April 1966 at the age of 98. This typing had
occupied his time for some months after failing eyesight made him give
up his woodworking hobby. From it, your editor abstracts these data
which may also be of interest in other parts of the United States.
RECORD
Uriah Blake Lemmon was born in France and came to the United States when
quite young. He met and married a young lady in this country who had also
been born in France. They had 2 daughters and 3 sons. Many of the family

born 1836 Sandusky City, Ohio, died Beaman, Iowa, had married 1859 in
Clyde, Ohio to William Monroe Thorpe who had been born in Buffalo, New
York in 1835. His father was William Thorpe, a wheelright whose family had
come from England in early colonial days. Someone in the family has said
they were from the Isle of Man.
William Thorpe and his wife Alvira Hoak had 3 dau. and 4 sons. The Hoak
family had come from Liverpool, England. William Monroe Thorpe was the
youngest son. He had been born in Buffalo, New York in 1835. With a friend
he started in his young days west from Ohio in a covered wagon on either
side of which was a sign, "We wrestle all comers for money, chalk or
marbles." They began the journey with 2 head of horses and $50 in cash and
arrived in Marshaltown, Iowa with 6 head and $700.
