The two brothers built a house on the property and returned to Sullivan to move Silas' family to their new home. The family; Silas, wife Ann, and daughters Amanda and Belle made the move in a covered wagon. Silas' younger brother, Columbus, may have accompanied them, returning because of his
wife's objections to the "new country.
A short time later, Silas and Hank sold that farm to the Kinnamans... and bought another farm on the nearby "Prairie." This farm is known as the Thurlo Farm. Hank later married and the brothers divided the 160 acres into 2-80 acre farms.
Life around their home was pleasant. Silas demanded respect from his children and taught them to be resourceful and to carry out their ambitions. Everyone had a special project for the summers when school was out.
Ann said she enjoyed the prairie country except when she needed a switch to correct one of the children. Silas planted a grove of Sugar Maple trees, which grew to provide the switches, as well as sweets for the family later. That grove is still reported to be there..."

NOTES: "Descendants..."Little is known of his early life, but we feel sure he joined his brothers Alson N and Columbus on their journey to Cal in their quest for gold. Columbus mentions his brother Henry returning with him on his trip from San Francisco to New York via Nicaragua. Alson, if he was with his brothers, chose to return on the same mule he departed. The passage of time has played havoc with actual dates, but since the "gold rush" only lasted about three years, I suspect the three were together at least part of that time.

He is reported to have been the first white child born in an area of Linn Co that was to have become Sullivan Co at its formation Feb. 16, 1845.
Browning pg 142: "He grew to manhood on the family farm, which was part of the area now included in the Maurice Lantz farm..."
Descendants pg 8-1: "His life as a youth was the hard life of a pioneering farmer in a sparsely populated land, where land must be cleared for farming and each farm had to be almost self sufficient. His formal education left a lot to be desired but his practical knowledge had few equals. During his lifetime he engaged in numerous occupations and apparently prospered in all..."

1860-1866 HIST: Descendants cont'd: "...When he was about 21 he left the farm and headed west by wagon train, with 4 yoke of oxen, to Nevada, probably with his older brother Henry. After about a year, he went to California, where he engaged in teaming and other kindred pursuits for about 2 years, including gold mining.
Browning Centennial... pg 145: "Mr Thurlo and his brother, Henry did hunting and trapping in Carroll County and bought some land there. He spent 4 years leading wagon trains to the gold fields of California. One winter was spent paning gold in the mountains near Sacramento. On his return trip to Missouri, he traveled by boat down the west cost of Panama and about the place where the Panama Canal was built, walked across to a lake. He he secured boat passage across, walking again on the other side to the ocean. Again he secured ocean p[assage and traveled to New York. From there, he returned overland to Missouri..."
In his later years, Columbus enjoyed telling others of his experiences as a youth. One such story appearing in the Centennial Edition of the Browning Newspaper (now out of business) is worth repeating here, in part.
He and his older brother Henry were returning from the gold fields by way of a water route full of adventurous interest as well as the history of conditions of the time, and of the mode of transportation.
They left San Francisco in a "side wheeler" steamboat (propellers were unknown at that time). The ship ran into a storm about 400 miles off the coast of Mexico and blew a cylinder head. The boat sprang a leak and the entire crew and part of the passengers were employed in pumping out the ship. They drifted for about 12 hours until the storm subsided and repairs could be made. The passengers were embarked in Nicaragua and crossed the Isthmus by river and on mules. While in Nicaragua they dined (reluctantly probably) on soup made of monkey meat. (Columbus said that close examination revealed monkey hair floating on top of the soup) After crossing the Isthmus, they took another ship to New York where they boarded a train to Cincinnati. From Cincinnati,they
took a boat on the Ohio River to the Mississippi, then up the Missouri from St Louis to Brunswick. The remainder of the trip to Browning and home was horseback. One report states that this entire trip consumed only 30 days.
After his return from the gold fields about 1866, he entered (homesteaded? My dictionary defines entered as "to go upon in order to take legal possession of land") some land, bought more and engaged in farming and stock raising...

Sullivan Co, MO when married by B Langdon, JP.

NOTES: "Descendants.." think Harry left on farm when father went to Oklahoma or
stayed when father came to get Mary Belle. After married, moved to
Stephens Co, Ok to or near Comanche, 9 mi south of Duncan. They operated a
boarding house near the RR depot in Comanche. Emmett remembers the boarding
house "counter" desk in the lobby. Harry was a City Marshall and later a town
constable. He always cleaned his gun, a nickle-plated 38, before going on
duty. Everyone in Comanche knew him and like him. He was involved in several
gun fights as a law man and was reported to have chased 2 robbers in his model
T until their horses gave out and made them walk back to town.

MG,DTH: "Descendants of John and Abigail Thurlo".

NOTES: Lived in Stephens Co, OK with father until married. Father lived with him for a time after they married. Dot was reported hunting prairie chickens, packing them in lard and shipping them to Kansas City for a living. He is known to have owned and sold land in OK of the Washita River. He was in
Arapaho in 1895-96 and probably father too, since they tended to stick together.
Dot went to AZ 3 times before moving his family to Thomas AZ in 1905. Father may have lived there too before going back to New Mexico. David bought 160 acres of land with a big house for $3000 on the Gila River. With heavy rains and no flood control, the house flooded as the river changed its course. He traded his property for a good saddle horse and opend a general store in Ft Thomas, then he bough back the property for less than $100 back taxes and sold it to the McCuan cattle ranchers so their catte could get to the river to drink. The land was all sand and salt cedar and no good.
Dot homesteaded on 160 acres where Goodyear, AZ is now. He sold the property and moved to Miami, Gila, AZ, selling it to move to Phoenix to sell cotton. During WWI they moved to Young, Gila, AZ for "good living" and to "get away from the war and the flu". He filed more homesteads in Young on Cherry Creek, later moving to Globe, Gila, AZ, and finally settled in Phoenix to sell chickens and turkeys until they were 90 yrs old

David married Georgia Phoebe Hickman 29 Jan 1888. Georgia was born 2 May 1869; died 1 Mar 1961, Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona, United States; was buried Mar 1961, prob Arizona. [Group Sheet]

MG: #2 wife-IGI Batch 8583023. #1, #2 mgs- "Descendants of John and Abigail
Thurlo".

DTH: "Descendants of John and Abigail Thurlo".

NOTES: Thinks he was probably born near Avalon, Mo in Fairview TWP, Livingston
County as David and Araminta lived there in 1870. His mother apparently
died shortly after he was born. His father married a widow and that lasted
only a short time. Lived in Duncan, OK in a dugout and farmed, hunted and
father taking jobs to survive.
When Walt 15 he left home and took work as a cowpuncher for several
different ranches with his coal black curly hair (called him "Curly"). In
later years he would gather his family around the hearth and tell harrowing
stories of bullies, gunmen and bad cattle stapede he was in before 18 yrs old.
In 1889 Walt and some friends decided to "make a run for some land". He
did file on some land but didn't keep the taxes paid up (probably near Arapaho
OK, as one of his children born there).
He married Maggie and had 2 children, moved from Ok after 1900 and may
have lived in Sweetwater Tx for awhile before moving on to Quay co, New Mexico.
Maggie died and Walt married Mary Elizabeth Buckner.
Walt was granted a patent for 160 acres in Quay Co 6 Jul 1908. Another
120 acres was granted 6 Apr 1920. He sold both parcels and 160 acres
inhereted from father to Kinkead on 19 Oct 1920. He then moved to Zuni Mtns in
McKinley Co with 2 covered wagons, 13 horses, a pen full of chickens, a dog, 4
children and a wife 6-months pregnant". She almost lost her life when the
wagon she was driving overturned.
Walt filed on 640 acres next to oldes son Mike who had preceeded him by
3 years. They lived that winter with MIke and his family while houses and
barns were being built. They farmed until a draught hit and Walt logged when
meager farm crops just about wiped out their savings. A forest fire wiped out
the business and in 1924 the family moved to Breece for about a year, then on
to Farmington in Sep 1926. Walt worked as a rock mason, apple picker or
whatever he could find to provide. He reportedly had a leg severely crushed by
a log but refused to let it be amputated. He recovered although he walked with
a slight limp the rest of his life. In later years he made knieves from old
saw blades for pocket money.
He was a gentle man who loved his family and thaught them to be totally
honest and tell it like it was. His wrath was much more severe if he found
that the truth had been skirted.

He life was spent with a relative (probably Aunt Pink), then a friend (Hiram Tipton near Reger, MO) for nine years. Her father came to bring her back to Duncan, OK in 1888, where he and some of the boys were surviving in
Indian Territory, farming and living in a dugout. There she met and married Clabe Dirickson and had four children before moving to Globe, AZ to help build the Roosevelt Dam. After one more child they left Arizona and went back to Indian Territory. (unsure of where father and Dot are at this time) They settled in the western part of the state for awhile. About 1907 (made a state) they moved by covered wagon to Rogers Co, OK. They acquired some land near Claremore, Rogers Co and sold sandrock for the building of the Will Rogers Memorial fence.
Belle was a hard-working pioneer and always had a kind word to say about anyone. In later years she always had her childen, grandchilren and neighbor's children about her. Stangers could not have guessed which were hers. She loved them all.

Mary married Clabe Merchant Dirickson 31 Dec 1893, Duncan, Stephens, Oklahoma, United States. Clabe was born 23 Sep 1868; died 11 Oct 1955; was buried Oct 1955, Collinsville, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. [Group Sheet]

In reality, Paul was an eccentric (possibly a bit reclusive), as he preferred to continue the old ways of living rather than take advantage of progress. He spurned the "new-fangled" electical stuff and continued to live without refrigeration or other appliances available at that time. He did conceed to having a telphone though.
Paul was a jovial man and seemed to enjoy "his" way of life (his wife Mary seemed to cope). He refused to wear dress clothes. His idea of dress clothes was a pair of bib overalls and a suit coat, even on his 50th Wedding Anniversary. He wouldn't let anyone take pictures of him.
