Jacob Gray8 RICHTSTINE [600] (Elizabeth Ann7 Graft, John Pottinger6, Abraham Ferree5, George4, John Or Hans3, Hans2, unknown1), born 16 Mar 1841 in Wayne, Butler, Ohio; died 10 Jan 1928 in Buckingham Twp., Tama, Iowa.

Notes for Jacob Gray RICHTSTINE !History Jackson Coounty, Iowa pg 50 977.764 H2e Marriage Tama Co. Iowa Book 3 page 214 BI page 366 Jacob Gray RICHTSTINE4 the son of John RICHTSTINE Jr.3 (John RICHTSTINE Sr.2; Jacob RICHTSTINE1) and Elizabeth Ann GRAFT. Born in Butler County, Ohio on 16 March 1841. In 10 January 1928 Jacob died probably in Buckingham Township, Tama County, Iowa. In about 1864 and in Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana Jacob Gray RICHTSTINE married Frances R. GRAY. Frances was born 23 May 1846 and she died 16 august 1923 in Iowa. Jacob was born in Butler County, Ohio and about 1843 his parents removed their family to Jones County, Iowa. His father purchased several hundred acres of land in Jones County and built a home, but about 1849 or 1850 they moved to Marion Township, Linn County, Iowa. In December 1850 Jacob's father died and they returned to Jones County. His mother started selling off the farm leaving only about 40 acres around their home. In 1854 his mother remarried to Adam KRAMER. Soon after this Jacob moved to Indiana. Also two of his sisters left home too. At first I thought Jacob went to Tippecanoe County, In. to his Aunt Hannah BOLYARD, born RICHTSTINE. Jacob was living with the John S. GRAY family in Wayne Township, Montgomery County, Indiana, as recorded in the 1860 Census. Elizabeth Ann (GRAFT) RICHTSTINE, Jacob's mother was related to the GRAY family through her mother, Mary GRAY, although I don't know if that is why Jacob ended up at the John S. GRAY family. Nor do I know if John S. GRAY is any relation to Elizabeth's mother Mary (Gray) GRAFT. The Civil War broke out and Jacob enlisted in Company G seventy- second regiment, Indiana volunteer infantry. He took part in many hotly contested engagements and was wounded at the battle of Lookout Mountain. At the close of the war he located in Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana. Jacob resided here until 1879, when he came west to Iowa, settling in Jones County, Iowa, he purchased a farm in Rome Township on which he resided until after 1880. Jacob and his family are recorded in the 1880 Census, Fairview Township, Jones County, Iowa, ED 336 Sheet 13 Line 8. By 1900 he removed his family to Clay Township, Grundy County, Iowa (this is verified from the record of the 1900 Census of that area ED 34 Sheet 7 Line 39. Then from a statement of his oldest son James) Jacob moved to Tama County, Iowa. He was in Buckingham Township, Tama County, recorded in 1910 Census, ED 150 Sheet 7 Line22. Jacob RICHTSTINE was a farmer most of his life and in his latter years was a mail carrier.

On 31 December 1869 in Jones County, Iowa, Landora Jane RICHTSTINE married James Henry TALLMAN Landora married second to Thomas A. LONG on 14 October 1908. Landora's mother Elizabeth Ann GRAFT, was left with four young children when John RICHTSTINE Jr. died in Linn County, Iowa probably Marion Township, while working as a carpenter. They owned a farm in Jones County, Iowa and the family returned there. Landora's mother sold all of the farm of over 200 acres except 40 acres where the house was, obviously because she couldn't raise four children and run a large farm alone. When Landora was only 5 years old her mother Elizabeth (GRAFT) RICHTSTINE married second to Adam KRAMER. So she was raised mostly by the step-father and her mother. She had one brother and two sisters that left home soon after their mothers remarriage and step-brothers and sisters came to live in the home. Both James H. TALLMAN and Landora Jane RICHTSTINE are buried at the Harlan City Cemetery Section 1 Plot 139 Space 5 and 6. (Thomas N. FRANKLIN having previously purchased the plot when his wife Gertrude P.

He was a Civil War soldier, Company E. 31st Iowa Infantry 14 August 1862 and discharged at Louisville, Kentucky 27 June 1865. His unit entered federal service at Davenport 13 Oct 1862: went to Helena, Ark. and fought at Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi. Ark. Post and the Campaign for Vicksburg. James was engaged in the attack on Jackson, Mississippi and battles for Chattanooga, Tenn. and Ringgold, Ga., was in the campaign for Atlanta and the march through Ga. into the Carolinas. After the war he attended school at Mt. Vernon, Iowa and taught school for three years. In the spring of 1868, he went to Denver, Colorado and taught school near there for a time then traveled among the mines in the mountains; returning in the fall of that same year. In 1874, Mr. TALLMAN came to Greene County, Iowa and acquired 240 acres of good land and engaged in farming and stock raising. Soon after he purchased his land in 1875, the rail road purchased a right of way through his farm (the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific). Having the vision that his farm was a potential town site, James had a plot surveyed by N. Stetson, County Surveyor and called it the town of Paton. Then formed a committee of town fathers of which he was one. Then proceeded to sell off the lots. After the original lots were sold James surveyed the first addition and then the second addition. Most of the lots were sold off by 1883. One street is named in his honor and he gave a parcel to the town for a park, which is named after him. He served two years as town trustee. From the middle 1880's until he moved, James and Landora farmed a small parcel of 110 acres and had a prosperous farm unit. After the lots were sold or at least most of them were sold, they removed to Harlan, Shelby County, Iowa, in October 1891, he purchased lots 10,11 and 12 in Block 56 of Long Addition, in the city of Harlan. These lots are on the north west corner of 4th street and Baldwin Street and the other is on the north west corner of 5th street and Willow street in the City of Harlan Iowa. When James and Landora brought their family north they all came together even though the two older children were marriageable age. Wilbur was married in May and Gertrude in September of 1893. The home they lived in was on 5th street and is still standing (1988) The house is two story and records indicate that it has been remodeled. The 1900 Census of Harlan recorded the TALLMAN family living at 402 Baldwin which is the address of the house. On the 23 Day of November 1898 James and Landora purchased a parcel, #12, block #78 of the Long tract. On 10 August 1901 James sold the house on 402 Baldwin and they moved to 502 Willow the new lot after the house was built. In January 1903 James passed the ownership to Landora his wife and he died in 1905. Landora lived at 502 Willow until 1908 when she married Thomas A. Long 14 October 1908. Both James H.

In the 1900 Census of Harlan, Shelby County, Iowa, his father and family were living in Harlan, 307 Laurel Street. The map I have does not show Laurel Street with that low a number, but it could be Rail Road land, company houses. The family moved several times and when Dewey was about 16 the family moved to Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa where they stayed. In 1916, Dewey joined the Army and was in the service until the end of World War I in 1919. Arthur Dewey was assigned to the Texas border to keep Poncho Via on his side of the Mexican Border. When he was a young boy his mother would get him ready for church on Sunday and then his father would sneak him away to go to a base ball game. After returning to Iowa at the end of the War, Arthur found odd jobs but couldn't find what he wanted. He removed to CA about 1920 and got on working on Rail Road beds., repairing and building new ones. From there he went south to his uncle Jim Tallman in Costa Mesa where through Hester Tallman Dewey's cousin he met Zulo EMERSON in college, and after a while they were married. Dewey and Zulo purchased a Store in Costa Mesa that sold Nonprescription Drugs and had an Ice Cream Parlor. He also worked for an Oil Company to offset the income from the newly opened Store. Things were going well until Zulo became very ill and they decided to move to Bakersfield and get out of the damp climate. On Zulo's father's farm where they removed, Dewey became a farmer.

On 31 May 1924 in Fullerton, Orange County, CA, Zulo EMERSON married Arthur Dewey TALLMAN the son of Wilbur Maxwell TALLMAN and Maud Lillian BOWLIN. Zulo is buried in the Protestant Cemetery, Tehachapi, Kern County, beside Dewey. Zulo EMERSON's father, is a member of an early pioneer family. Her grand-father Edward Simpson Emerson arrived in CA on a tramp steamer, named Tennessee in the year 1851, and her grand-mother Julia Ann DUNBAR was only 12 years old when her family came to CA on the overland trail by covered-wagon through the Donner Pass in the fall of 1849. Her Grand-mother Julia Ann states that she walked most of the way switching the oxen to keep them going. Her father left the ranch soon after she was born and moved to Bakersfield. They purchased a home and lived on 'K' street, but only a short time, for in 1902, Elmie her mother purchased 80 acres near Panama School shortly after they moved there. Her father had built a large home for them and Zulo lived there until she left to go to College (UCLA). There were very few farms in the area near their farm the social life was dances at the old Panama dance hall. Many times she said her sisters and brother would get dressed up and Waldo, her brother would drive them too the dance in a buggy. When she went to High School she boarded in town because it was to far to commute by wagon. As Zulo completed her last year in High School she wrote in her book. I will include here what she wrote. "As the class prophecy is given to me in the Oracle, I will use this space as a place to record what happens to me and the other members of my class and also my friends. June 1919 Which meant to me a long rest from my year of study. 21st, Vena McKee and I gave a dance at Panama. It was a success and all had a good time. Rosie R. was given a fare well party at her home. She has taken up nursing and is getting her education in a hospital in San Francisco. July: was hot and passed with no social events. August: Changed my plans about normal, in Santa Barbara and the last week in this month found me in the south spending a happy vacation with Hester (Hester is Arthur Dewey Tallman's first cousin) and Virginia. September: A hasty preparation for dear old K.C. again, only I am in College work now and feel real big. Several of our class, have returned. Violette COULTAR, Madaline APP, Beatrice PEARSON, Georgia APP, Madoline DENTON, Florence BITNER. Eva S. went to L.A. to business College. We gave the first Assembly. I helped with the costumes. Ruby H. is teaching. Then the foot-ball rally, our first game was with L.A. Normal. J.C. headed the parade. We had three cars decorated in Red and White. Next morning finds me at the beginning of the end of my school term. I was sick with a cold and had to pull myself through the morning work because I wanted to go to the game. Just before time to get ready I had to go to bed. Went back to school after a weeks rest and fought hard to catch up but every day got harder and after two weeks struggle, I stopped. So weak I could hardly stand up. It was hard to stop but could not go on. Thanksgiving 1919: Hester TALLMAN and Virginia were both guests at my home. What a jolly time we had together. January 1, 1920, I started off to the Mts. to help Waldo with his farming. (this was her brother and the Mountains, the Paleto Hills and the ranch). February 16: That is to-day and am all by myself, Waldo is building fence. The mountain air has been very good for me and I am my old self again,. If not stronger. Virginia is with her brother in Reedly. She is assistant to a dancing teacher. I am glad because she loves that work. Hester is going to Whittier College. She will be ready for Santa Barbara next year. Charlotte N. is going to Berkeley. This gives me joy for that is what she wanted more then any thing. October 1920: quite a jump but there have been no important events during these months left out. Eunice, Zoe, and I are now attending the University of CA, Southern Branch, as Freshman. We are living in our own home having purchased such before we came here to school. Its a little four roomed house on N. Virgil Ave. just five blocks from the University No. 646. We have our studies and ourselves about settled in school and the question at hand now is Amendment 12 this is a turning point or climax in the lives of the three of us and many others. If this amendment doesn't carry successfully we will be forced to put away our ambitions for college and find some means of being independent now. The excitement is all over Amendment 12 failed but was so close that the legislature have decided to help us out. We hope they keep their word. (they must have for all three stayed in college). November 1920: Thanksgiving, Waldo, Dad and Alice came down. Had a busy week and were sure tired but elated with our good time and sorry when it was over. June 1924: The last of a happy world or the beginning of it. At least I'm happy now. Many things have happened since the writing of the page across the way. School, play and work for 3 years. And now the beginning of all things, marriage. Dewey and I were married the 31 of May at 6 O'clock, Saturday. We were in Fullerton and the Reverend T. G. Atere officiated. Mabel, Valda and Eddie were with us and we had a wonderful day. We began housekeeping in the Kramer Bldg. Placentia the 24th of June. July 10th we moved to 222 E. Amerige, Fullerton. We spent a happy fourth with Ed and Mabel at Glen Ivy. October 25th we moved into a brand new bungalow at 342 W. Drapman, Fullerton. Furnished it with our very own furniture. November 20 to 29th I spent with mother and dad. Xmas spent at TALLMAN's. (must have been Jim TALLMAN in Costa Masa, Dewey's uncle, Hester TALLMAN's father.) April 6th moved to Olinda. Mabel, back from Arizona, helped me move. We grew a little now. A house and a big yard this time. The following months were spent making planning and caring for our garden. The last of July and first of August Zoe and Vida spent with us. August 18th 1925 Allen Donald TALLMAN our first was born 7 lbs and 9 oz." After Ralph Wilbur TALLMAN was born in 1928, Dewey and Zulo moved from the southern part of CA, back to the farm at Bakersfield where Zulo was raised. Here or near here Zulo with her husband raised their family. About 1942 they moved to Monolith, CA where Dewey was put in charge of all of the security for Monolith Portland Cement Co. During World War II Monolith was considered a vital industry and needed to be protected from sabotage. Here Zulo lived with Dewey until their move into Tehachapi, near by. They lived at that location until Dewey died in 1955. Soon after Zulo, moved back to the farm at Bakersfield. Her oldest son Allen Donald TALLMAN was a photographer in the U.S. Navy and received a hardship discharge to return and care for his mother, who was partially disabled.

It was on about 24 October 1944 that someone from CinCPacFlt that sent a message to Admiral Halsey that read "All the world wants to know where is the Third Fleet". Also the Massachusetts was the closest ship to the USS Princeton when it was hit by a 500 pound Japanese bomb and was sunk. GENERAL NARRATIVE AND CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT OF THE ACTION On 24 October 1944, this ship was cruising in waters east of Luzon, in company with Task Group 38.3, furnishing air support for the Philippines operations. Shortly after midnight, several unidentified aircraft were detected at a range of about 50 miles. These planes did not close the formation. however, and the contact was lost. At 0528, unidentified planes were again detected, at about 27 miles, closing the formation. All hands stood to air attack stations at 0538. Night fighters intercepted the enemy planes, and none closed to gun range. Secured from air attack at 0647. During the early morning a dispatch from Commander Task Group 38.2 reported an enemy force of 4 battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, and 13 destroyers between Mindoro and Tobias Islands in the Central Philippines. (these forces were on the west side of the Philippines Don's ship the Massachusetts was on the east side of the Philippines with the other ships of the Third Fleet. The Flagship for Commander Battleship Division Eight was Don's Ship the Massachusetts under the command of Rear Admiral J. F. SHRAFROTH) Amplifying reports indicated that the force was divided into two groups and might contain seven battleships instead of the four indicated earlier. The ESSEX and the LEXINGTON launched heavy strikes against these ships early in the morning. Meanwhile, our own force was under attack by enemy aircraft, consisting principally of dive bombers, identified as Judies. At 0755, after a large group of enemy aircraft had been reported closing the formation, all hands manned air attack stations. This raid was intercepted by our Combat Air Patrol and did not close the formation. However, at 0837 the Combat Air Patrol reported a group of approximately 30 enemy planes closing the Task Group, and at 0837 various ships began firing at a Judy which had dropped a bomb close to the HEALY. All ships were executing emergency maneuvers as directed by the O.T.C. At 0900 a Judy was shot down in flames about 12,000 yards ahead of the formation by one of our fighters. The LANGLEY and the PRINCETON recovered aircraft, and at 0939, immediately after the PRINCETON finished recovering planes, an enemy plane dropped a bomb which struck the after portion of the PRINCETON's flight deck and penetrated to the hangar deck, starting a large fire. O.T.C. Ordered speed decreased from 24 knots to 18 knots so the PRINCETON might maintain station. Several large explosions occurred aboard the PRINCETON, however, spreading the fire considerably. The PRINCETON changed course and began to leave the formation. The BIRMINGHAM, RENO, CASSIN YOUNG, GATLING, and IRVING were detailed to stand by to assist the damaged ship. At 1017, another Judy was sighted within the formation, being pursued by one of the Combat Air Patrol. Just as the Judy approached the LANGLEY, our fighter opened fire, setting the Judy afire. The Judy continued on its course and dropped its bomb, which was a near miss on the LANGLEY's port quarter. The enemy plane then crashed in flames between the LANGLEY and the ESSIX. At 1033, the MORRISON was ordered to assist the PRINCETON, which was being abandoned. At 1202, Condition One Easy (Air Attack) was set. At 1300, enemy planes again closed the formation and various ships began firing. A bomb was dropped close to the LEXINGTON but apparently did no damage. Again a 1510. enemy planes attacked the formation but were driven off without inflicting any damage. At about 1630, our search planes reported sighting an enemy force of battleships, carriers, cruisers, and destroyers, on a southerly course, approximately 100 miles to the north of our force. At 1658, O.T.C. stated by radio that because of the extensive damage suffered by the PRINCETON, and because of the general situation, Commander Third Fleet had ordered that the ship be sunk by our own forces. (Commander Third Fleet was Admiral HALSEY) This order was subsequently carried out. During operations involving removal of the PRINCETON's personnel, and damage control operations, the BIRMINGHAM was damaged by an explosion aboard the PRINCETON. The MORRISON was also damaged while alongside the PRINCETON. Preliminary reports indicated that our planes had done extensive damage to units of the Japanese force in waters east of Mindoro Island. At midnight Task Groups 38.2, 38.3, and 38.4 rendezvoused and started north to strike the enemy force to the northward of this force. On 25 October 1944, this force continued to steam northward in search of the enemy force. At 0150 night fighters from Task Group 38.4 intercepted and shot down one Mavis type enemy plane, about 40 miles from the formation. At 0225 search planes contacted two groups of enemy ships about 80 miles to the north.(our force should have been with in firing range of these ship by daylight but were not because they turned and fled) At 0240, on orders of Commander Third Fleet, Commander Task Force 38 detached Task Force 34, which cleared the carrier groups ahead and formed up in cruising disposition 4-n, with the MASSACHUSETTS as guide. Task Force 34 was composed as follows, under command of Vice Admiral W.A. Lee, Jr., USN. in the Washington: Battleship Divisions 7, 8, and 9; Cruiser Divisions 13, and 14; Destroyer Squadrons 50 and 52.(this group represented the largest force ever gathered in one unit. There were eight first line Battleships in a row we could have fought off the world). Secured from Condition One Easy (Air Attack) at 0335, and returned to battle stations at 0518. Later contact reports placed the enemy force northeast of our group, approximately 65 miles. Cruising disposition 4-s was formed at 0552. At 0640 the first strike of Task Force 38 planes passed over head inwrought to attack the enemy fleet. At 0603, formed cruising disposition 4-V. At 1112 the Santa Fe reported sighting a floating mine. The CAPERTON was instructed to destroy the mine. Reports from our planes indicated that severe damage had been inflicted upon the portion of the Japanese Fleet to the north of us. Other reports from Commander Seventh Fleet revealed that a considerable force of enemy ships had passed through San Bernardino Straits during the night and was attacking Seventh Fleet forces in waters east of Samar Island. (seventh fleet was the old Battleships incapable of defending them selves from modern ships) Hence, upon orders of Commander Third Fleet, at 1114, Battleship Divisions 7, 8, 9; Destroyer Squadron 52; and the BILOXI, MOBILE, and the VINCENNES were detached from Task Force 34, and turned south. These ships joined Task Group 38.2 which then proceeded to the area of the Seventh Fleet. ----- It being doubtful whether Task Group 38.2 could arrive in time to intercept the enemy force before it passed through the Straits. (it was at this point that some one sent a message to Admiral HALSEY that read all the world wants to know where is the Third Fleet. By this time Don says the Third Fleet was several hundred miles north of the seventh fleet and we were supposed to protect them but were up north chasing a decoy). (the above document was written by William Walter Warlick Captain United State Navy, Captain of the U.S.S. MASSACHUSETTS. The highlighted area is from the compiler Allen Don Tallman). This above document was included because of its historical value as one of the most important engagement of the Navy during World War II From there the fleet shifted their operations to Japan by January 1945. (Admiral Halsey fleet was disbanded after November 1944 and the Fifth Fleet was formed under Admiral MITCNER) "CARRIER ADMIRAL" written by J.J. (Jocko) CLARK Clark covers this same time span with the MASSACHUSETTS as one of the ships in his task group. (58.1 is part of the newly formed third fleet) "Task Group 58.1 consisting of three large carriers, Hornet, Wasp, and the New Bennington and the light carrier Belleau Wood. For the first time, my group included battleships, Massachusetts and Indiana, under Rear Admiral J. F. SHRAFROTH, Rear Admiral F.E.M. 'Red' Whiting commanded two light cruisers, Vincennes and Miami, plus the anti aircraft light cruisers San Juan, the screen commanded by Captain Jesse H. Carter, consisted of 15 Destroyers." 25 October 1944 Member of Task Forse 34 operating with Task Force 38 during defeat of Northern Striking Force of Japanese Fleet.

When we would turn all would turn together, what a sight. 5 - 6 November 1944 Mamber of Task Group 38.3 during sustained air strikes on Luzon. 11 November 1944 Member of Task Group 38.1 during air strikes on shipping in Ormoc Bay and the Visayan Sea in the Central Philippines. 13 - 14 November 1944 Member of Task Group 38.1 during air strikes on Shipping and air facilities in Luzon. 14 - 16 December 1944 Member of Task Group 38.1 during air strikes on shipping and air facilities on Luzon in support of landings on Mindoro. 30 December - 23 January 1945 Member of Heavy Support Unit of Carrier Task Group 38.1 participating in Third Fleet raids on Formosa and Northern Luzon while covering landings by Southwest Pacific area Forces at Lingayen Gulf; in air strikes against shipping and air fields in the Saigon-Kamranh Bay Area of Indo-China; in air strikes against the Hongkong-Swatow-Amoy Area of the China Coast; and in subsequent air strikes against Formosa and Okinawa Jima. We proceded to sneak under the Japanese radar into the China Sea to complete this operation. I was transferred to the staff of ComBatDiv 8 under RADM Shaffroth which was on the USS Massachusetts. 10 February - 28 February 1945 Member Heavy Support Unit of Carrier Task Group 58.1 participating in Fifth Fleet raids on the Tokyo - Yokohama areas on Honshu: in air strikes on Chichi Jima in connection with landings on Iwo Jima; and in air strikes on Iwo Jima in support of landing operations on the Island. 58.1 was under the command of Radm J.J. Jocko Clark. Shortly after this operation I was transferred to the USS Bronks APA-236 as part of the commissioning party, Portland Oregon. I was assigned as part of the Marine unit to take part in the landing operations of the ship. To photograph the landings. This Marine unit consisted of a Marine Officer and myself. The war was over before we were fitted out and I went home opened a Photo Shop in Tehachapi, CA. Went broke in just over two years and returned to the Navy.
