Mellon Undertakers Journal

The Undertaker’s Journal of
John W. Mellon
(1824-1899)
Capon Bridge, West Virginia
Deaths recorded from 1882-1899

Introduction

This journal came to me during an interview while researching the Oates Family of Hampshire County, VA/WV. It has taken me sometime to bring this information to the public

The Author

Dan Oates has searched out and transcribed a number of important documents relating to Hampshire County history. His most famous work is the publication of Hanging Rock Rebel, the reminiscences of Lt. John Blue. He has also published the 1860 census of Hampshire County.

but now I release it to Charles Hall to post on the Hampshire County history website, http://www.historichampshire.org. It is not to be sold for any reason. I have placed it here simply as a research tool.

As for the Mellon Family; I have some information that I got from an interview with Lester Oates in Keyser, W. Va. on March 14, 1986. He was the owner of the Mellon Journal. Since his death, the journal has disappeared. The information stated below is from personal conversation and as I am sure you know, very suspect to accuracy. My interview was as follows:

  Lester’s mother was Sarah Ellen (Sallie) Ester Mellon, daughter of John W. and Mary Catherine Kerns. John W. spend time in Ritchie County, his first wife (maiden name, Harris), and three children died while there. He returned to Hampshire County and remarried. His first marriage took place in Hampshire Co. and then he moved family to Ritchie County, Virginia now West Virginia. There is a cemetery in Ritchie County where the family is buried. John W. sold the farm to an oil company, and they promised they would preserve the cemetery. Lester visited there in 1964, and the oil company had slabbed it in (?). In 1963, there was a celebration for John Mellon, farmer, carpenter, builder. Lester researched the deeds and land records then.
  There is a Mellon (Mellin), WV in Ritchie Co. named after John W. Mellon. Lester visited Mellon Ridge, and he was introduced to the students at Mellon School by the teacher as the grandson of John W. Mellon. Quite an honor for Lester. The original oil well was still pumping in 1963, 99 years after John sold the farm.
  John W. Mellon’s father was John W. Mellon, Sr. Before John, Jr. was born John, Sr. left and went back to Pennsylvania. When John was old enough he was hired out and “bound to service”, as a young man. He learned the millwright trade. He also became the undertaker of Capon Bridge and built his own coffins. (Note: Hampshire Co. Death record shows that John W. Mellon died Dec. 18, 1899 at the age of 72 yrs., 2 mos. 14 days. DOB Oct. 24, 1827. Informant was Geo. W. Oates, son-in-law. Consort was Catherine Mellon.

The following day I went to Winchester, Va. and interviewed Lester’s sister, Ruth Whitlock. Her interview was as follows:

John W. Mellon’s mother was engaged to be married, she thought. When the father, her assumed finance, found out she was pregnant, he left. The mother gave him his father’s name, John William Mellon. He was born in 1827. His mother was born in 1814. His mother had to give up her son. She had the child “bound out”. He was terribly mistreated and ran away many times. He raised all of his children to take care of their families. He had two families, one in Ritchie Co., who most died of typhoid, and the other in Hampshire Co. upon his return.

I renewed my efforts to find the Journal of John W. Mellon in the 1990’s to no avail. Maybe someday I’ll actually see it again. As of 2017, it has not been found.

Navigating the Journal

The original Journal was a small book, probably 5” x 8”, and handwritten. When first seeing it, I realized the significance of the book and asked Lester Oates if he would mind if I removed it from his possession long enough to copy it.

In 1986, copy machines were not readily available as they are today and being only a couple blocks from Potomac State College, I headed in that direction. Having worked in Keyser for a number of years previous, I quickly found an ally and was able to copy the whole journal. I can’t even find my copy of the journal now although I will eventually stumble upon it.

When I transcribed this journal to print in the early 1990’s, I decided on the present format. It may not be the best but I am not changing it. Here is a guide for reading the journal.

The Journal consists of five columns:

Transaction by – this is the person with which Mr. Mellon was doing business. In most cases, unless otherwise stated, the one who paid for the service.
Date – the date of the transaction but in most cases, not the date of death.
Cost – how much the services cost, including casket cost.
Paid by – this is the person who paid the bill
Name of Deceased – this was the person for whom the service was held. Many times, actual names were not mentioned as Mr. Mellon did not record it but just listed “wife” or “child”

Upon seeing the gaps in the record keeping I decided to follow-up with some research by visiting the Hampshire Co., WV and the Frederick Co., VA courthouses, as they would be the most likely place the death was recorded. You will see in some cases I was unable to collaborate the death of the person by other sources. It should be noted, in those cases, this may be the only record of a person’s death.

The Research consists of six columns:

County Death is Recorded in: This is the courthouse where the record of the death was found.
Date of Death - as recorded in the courthouse
Recorded Name of Deceased – as recorded in the courthouse
Age of Death - as recorded in the courthouse
Relation to Col. 1 – this is the relation to the person who paid for the service
Burial – I combed through many cemeteries records in hopes to find where the person is buried. This list is at the end of the journal along with a transaction index to assist you in finding specific persons.

I hope you find this helpful. Enjoy and happy research!

Footnotes:

#1 Due to the small price of the coffin, this most likely was for a child
#2 Information listed on the above Elizabeth Keller may be incorrect. Her date of death listed in the Frederick Co. Courthouse is 3-5-1883, which is 21 days prior to the above transaction. This is an unusual amount of time between death and burial. #3 Joseph was married to Lucinda Oats, daughter of Daniel and Mary Oats. Daniel and Mary are the author's great-great-great grandparents.
#4 A William Nicewonger is buried at the Bethel Cemetery. I am not certain that they are the same person but it seem close enough to list as a suspicion.
#5 Note that the date of the ledger entry (12-5-1884) is 25 days prior to the time of death. I have not had any personal contact with members of this family to see which is correct. I would suspect that the recorded death date at the Frederick County Courthouse is in error. #6 Once again there is a discrepancy in the date of death in the ledger and the recorded death at the courthouse.
#7 This discrepancy I feel is almost certainly the error of the recorded death at the courthouse in Hampshire Co. Other Oats deaths near this time have been recorded in error also. Since the exact date is not known, this is further proof that a wrong date was probably given to the recorder by family members. #8 Mr. Johnson paid for this transaction by trading Mr. Mellon three barrels of flour, valued at $5.00 each and a $3.00 bag of bran to equal the cost of burial expenses.
#9 The Eliza Wilson that is listed is the wife of James W. Wilson. He is listed on the line above her.
#10 Records noted that Josiah C. Anderson was the son of Michael.
#11 It states in the journal that Lemon Lee was killed by a runaway train.
