Inman Family - Wyoming Valley, Luzerne Co., Pennsylvania
The "History of Hanover" by Plurub, page 434, says Elijah Inman was born in Connecticut in 1718, came to Hanover previous to the Wyoming Massacre with a large family, there being seven sons, the youngest 15 at the time of the massacre".
"A History of Wilkesbarre and Wyoming Valley".
II, 1110 by Oscar J. Harvey, 1909, says Elijah Inman, Sr. was born in either
Connecticut or Rhode Island in 1718, and in 1775 he came with his wife, Susanna
and children to the Wyoming Valley and settled in Hanover Township.
His name appears on the tax lists for 1776, 77, 78, 80, and
81.
After the battle of Wyoming he fled from the valley with his
wife and younger children, but returned a few months later to find his house and
barn burnt, his cattle missing and most of his crops destroyed. --died in
Hanover township February 7, 1804, aged 86.
"They were the parents of the following named: Elijah--, Richard b. about 1759, Israel, David--, John b. about 1758, Isaac b. 1760 and Edward b. 1763."
The "History of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania", 350 says: "The
Inmans, a family conspicuous in the days that were so dark and troubled here for
the number of it's name that gave their lives as a sacrifice. Five brothers went
to the battle of Wyoming. --two lay dead on the ground, three escaped, but
Richard from overheat and swimming the rive, returned home only to die in a few
weeks from disease contracted thereby. There were seven brothers, two remained
at home that day because they could not secure arms; one Isaac, was 19 and the
other a mere lad, both of whom would have been at the bloody sacrifice except
for the fact stated. The parents were aged at the time, and it was doubly
necessary for the two youths to be with them, as the fates turned the battle and
caused the following exodus. Elijah and Israel were killed in battle. Richard
Inman saved the life of Rufus Bennett in the retreat by shooting the Indian who
was in hot chase after him.
Isaac--was ambushed and killed by the Indians the following
winter."
"History of Wyoming, Pennsylvania, 1845, App.26, by Charles Miner, gives a similar account and "the Poetry and History of Wyoming", 1869, 252 by William L. Stone gives a 2 1/2 page account of the four killed.

From the Free Press, Reedsburg, Wisconsin December 6, 1883.
Last night another of Rock county’s pioneers was called to his reward and his family was left to mourn. The deceased, Richard Inman, was about ninety years old, and had until very recently enjoyed reasonably good health. His death was caused by severe cold contracted a number of days ago, and which settled on his lungs. He was well known in Rock county, as a successful farmer, and a good citizen and his death will be sincerely mourned. Besides a wife he leaves a family of two sons and two daughters, a son and daughter having preceded him over the dark river. No time has been fixed for the funeral which will be held at this late home in Afton as soon as the relatives can be notified.

John
B. Inman, one of the prosperous and influential farmers of Rock county, died at his
home in the town of Plymouth, February 26, 1891, aged 63 years. Mr. Inman was born in
Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 1828. He came to Wisconsin in 1836, and has
since resided in this state. When 27 years of age he settled in in the town of Plymouth,
and has resided there since - 36 years. Throughout his life he was known as an honest,
upright and honorable farmer, and his word was always as good as his bond. Friends and
neighbors have nothing but good words for J. B. Inman.
The funeral was held from the church in the town of Plymouth Sunday,
Rev. R. J. Reynolds officiating. The church was filled with the early settlers of the
town, and at the conclusion of the services the remains of the old pioneer were laid to
rest in the cemetery near by, the pall bearers being Messrs. Harrison Inman, Jonas Inman,
of Plymouth; Edward Inman, Caleb Inman, of Janesville; W. B. Baines, of Rock; and John

sister of Mr. A. L. Dearhammer of this city, died July 5th.

o’clock and from the Plymouth church at half past ten o’clock Wednesday.

John B. Inman, son of John Inman, was born May 5, 1885, at
Plymouth, Rock county, Wis. and died August 31, 1898 at the same place, aged 13
years, 3 months and 26 days.
Accidentally falling off a horse some time ago, he injured
his spine, which caused his sickness on August 9, 1898. From then until the day
of his death he suffered untold agony. The morning of his death all indications
seemed to show a vast improvement in his condition, but like the dying leaves of
autumn, as though making one more attempt to cheer up and brighten the world
around him, it truly proved to be a delusion, the end coming peacefully at about
4 o’clock in the afternoon, and was as though falling to sleep.
A little over a year ago his mother preceded him in death. A
father, two sisters, Maud and Zalema (Zelma), one brother, Stanley and many
other loved ones remain to mourn his early departure.
A strange coincidence it seemed, in that in a delirium he was
away from home and wanted to get back. Shortly before he died he said with
relief and as though quite satisfied, "Now I am going home." How true
it proved, for now he has gone home and can say:
"I am coming, mother dear,
For your loving voice I hear
Calling me to dwell with Christ and you on high;
I will bid them all farewell;
Of death’s sting ? can tell,
Feeling sure that Christ, my savior now is nigh."
The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church in Plymouth on Friday, Sept 2, 1898, conducted by Rev. H. O. Seidel? who preached from the words, "And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof." Zach. 8:5. The internment was in the Plymouth Cemetery.
Probably Janesville Gazette - 9/7/1898
Harrison C. Inman who died at 8:30 yesterday at his home
in Plymouth, was one of the pioneers of the county, who left an indelible
impression upon the township in which he lived. He was born in Lucerne county,
Pa., in 1817. At the age of 20 he came west and settled in Plymouth, then
practically a wilderness. By his thrift and energy the forest was transformed
into cultivated farm and the refinements of life followed.
He possessed the sturdy qualities of the early settler, the
fearless heart and the strong arm. In all the varied relations of life he bore
his part manfully and leaves an enviable record. He is survived by a wife and
six children -Thomas and Ira Inman of Plymouth, four daughters, Mrs. E. H.
Smythe and Mrs. H. G. Nelson of Newark; Mrs. Lazette Inman of Plymouth, and Mrs.
B. E. Smiley of Madison, Wisconsin; also two brothers - Ed Inman of this city

OBITUARY:
Died at the home of her daughter in the town of Washington, on the 20th day of
April, 1902, Mrs. Lelilah Applegate Inman, aged 87 years 6 months and 24 days.
Mrs. Inman was born in the town of Newton, Sussex Co., New
Jersey, November 26, 1814. The family move to Nescopeck, Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania. Here Mrs. Inman became acquainted with R. S. Inman, whom she
married in 1833. A few years later another move was made, this time settling in
Rock., Wisconsin, a little west of the city of Janesville, in 1841. Still the
pioneer spirit was not satisfied and thirteen years later in the fall of 1854
the Inman family settled in the town of Washington, Sauk Co, Wisconsin, which
place has been the home of Mrs. Inman with but one short interval, ever since,
that interval of two years being spent in San Jose, California, with her
daughter, Clara.
Mrs. Inman early in life united with the M. E. Church and as
death drew near rejoiced in the thought of entering into the reward of a well
spent life. Of the marriage thirteen children were born, all but one having
attained manhood or womanhood. Seven of whom are still living to mourn her loss.
Cyprian residing in Catlin, Washington; Sarah M. Roberts, with whom she was
living at the time of her death; Peter, living in Rodney, Ia; Burt, whose home
is in Milton, Oregon; Casildea Cary of Tracy, Minn.; Clara A. Baldwin of Aronas,
Calif; and Clarence Applegate Inman of Creston, WA; Of the children the two
daughters, Sarah M and Clara A were with her at the time of her death. Of the
boys four of them did good service in the late Civil War, Israel in the 3rd. Wis
Vol Inf; Cyprian whose regiment is forgotten by the writer and Richard in the
3rd Wis Vol Inf. By a curious coincidence her funeral was held in the Loganville
school house on the anniversary of the funeral of her son Richard just thirty
years ago. The writer wishes to add his testimony to the universal respect and
esteem in which Mrs. Inman was held by her neighbors and friends. Kind and
sympathetic in nature, she was a universal favorite of the young people far and
near, who were sure to have a hearty welcome and a God speed from her.

Thomas Inman Former Plymouth Resident Dies in Florida Home
Thomas H. Inman, 84, a highly respected lifelong resident
of this community, died Friday morning at his winter home in St. Petersburg,
Fla. where he had spent the cold months for several years. He had been ill for
the past month and his brother, Ira Inman, was called to his bedside a week ago
when the seriousness of his condition made recovery doubtful.
Thomas Inman was the eldest of the 12 children of Harrison C.
and Saparia Inman who were among the first and possibly the first settlers in
Plymouth. He was born on the homestead there March 4, 1848.
For many years, Thomas Inman farmed the homestead adjacent to
the Plymouth church of which he always was a strong financial supporter although
he never became a member. Thirty years ago he retired and moved to Beloit,
making his residence at 832 Ninth street Beloit. He never married.

Fannie Inman Dies Suddenly
Miss Fannie Inman of 918 Vine St., Beloit, died in her
home on Sunday, February 4 at 4:45 p.m. The cause of her death was pernicious
anemia, from which she had suffered quite noticeably since before Christmas.
Funeral services were held in the home on Wednesday at 2 p.m. the Rev. L. O.
Anderson of Luther Valley officiating, where up on the remains was brought to
Plymouth Cemetery and laid to rest in the family lot. Mrs. Anderson sang several
appropriate numbers.
Fannie Estella Inman was born on July 27, 1866, on the Inman
farm in Newark. Her parents were Lyman and Mary nee Smiley, both of Pennsylvania
Dutch descent. She attended the community grade school, also attended the
Plymouth M. E. Sunday school. Later she studied art painting and took great
interest in painting landscapes and flowers. She was a lover of music and played
well on the piano.
Miss Inman took care of her mother during the declining years
of her life. She proved to be an excellent nurse, bright and cheerful and always
willing to help when it was needed. She was known for thinking of others before
thinking of herself. Thus she cared for her mother for many years until her
mother at the age of 89 passed on.
This was in 1922. After this, she moved to Beloit to share
the home of her older sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Tripp. She would spend the winter
months with her sister in Beloit. But when spring and summer came she would
inevitably be found on the old homestead in the company of her younger sister,
Mrs. John Ringen.
The deceased had been well until about six months ago when
she noticed that she did not feel as well as usual. Her folks also took note of
her failing. She tried to regain her strength. Shortly before Christmas she came
to know that she had pernicious anemia. She still was up and around and look
forward to improvement.
Not until Friday of last week did she decide to keep to bed.
Nor did it look so serious. She felt tired and weak. On Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock
her folks noticed a decided change in her condition. At 4:45 o’clock that same
afternoon she breathed her last.
The deceased will be sorely missed by a host of friends and
more especially by her three surviving sisters with whom the relationship was so
ideal. These sisters are Mrs. Elizabeth Tripp and Mrs. Grace Wilkins, both of
Beloit, and Mrs. Garrie Ringen of Newark. Yet if we focus our attention on the
ever living Savior and not on the dead our sorrow shall be hallowed and our
grief assuaged and we will then possess our dear one in a new and better way.
Gone is she whom our hearts held dear, through all our years
together. Her sunny smile was always ours through fair and stormy weather. She
was wanted back in heaven so who spread cheer to every heart, She was wanted
back n heaven so from her we had to part.
