Note: CARSON LAUTERMILCH (Submitted by Helen Smethurst)
On June 9, 1889, Augustus and Ida (Beattie) Lautermilch welcomed into their home their second child, a son, christened Carson. At the time of his birth his parents lived on a farm in Amboy Township, Hillsdale Co., Mich. just two miles north and one mile west of the little village of Pioneer, Ohio, on what is now known as Territorial Road.
In October of 1891, the Lautermilch's became the parents of their third son, Glen; and in 1897 a fourth son, Carl. Shortly after the birth of Carl, Ida passed away. Carson was persuaded to do a great deal of the cooking and the housework, besides helping out a great deal with the chores most farm boys were expected to do. An elderly lady in the neighborhood said he was a very good cook and housekeeper.
During this time his brother, Glen, and he attended the one room eight grade school located near their home. The care of the younger son, Carl, was taken over in his infancy by his Aunt Catherine (Kate) Beattie, Ida's sister, who resided in Shelby, Ohio and then in Ashland, Ohio.
In November of 1913, Carson married Miss Elsie Russell, daughter of Fred and Mary (Fowler) Russell, of Frontier, Mich.
In the years following they became the parents of four children, Ida, Russell, Helen, and Ralph. Early in March of 1923 Carson and his family moved approximately one-half miles east of the family home, to a 140 acre farm previously owned by Betty Davis, while Glen and his family remained at the home place.
During the time his children were in school, he acted as director of the Amboy Center District Number Four School for a number of years.
In 1928 Carson helped with the grading and building of the Territorial Road running past his home. When the road was completed he accepted a position with the Hillsdale County Road Commission until 1936. Carson then worked a short time at the Body Works in Montpelier, Ohio. During those years of outside work he also farmed the farm where he lived, raising Duroc hogs and milking a sizeable herd of cattle.
In April of 1946, after the marriage of his youngest son, Ralph, Carson moved to a forty acre farm located one mile west and one mile north of his home.
On this acreage he had moved and relocated the old schoolhouse where he attended grade school and made it into their home. Here he resided and kept busy with farm work with the assistance of his son, Ralph, for the rest of his life.
On February 5, 1961 Carson passed away quietly in his sleep and was buried in the Floral Grove Cemetery, Pioneer, Ohio.
Elsie passed away in 1971. They left four children and twelve grandchildren.
