130	OBIT NOTICE FROM Newspaper: FARMER CRUSHED UNDER TRACTOR George J. Lux Sr. Dies Of Injuries Suffered Late Saturday Afternoon. George J. Lux Sr., Lake county farmer, was killed in a tractor accident Saturday afternoon while plowing a field on his daughter's farm. Born in Waukegan and a resident of the county all his life, Mr. Lux was fatally injured at the home of Mrs. Louis Elfering, on the south side of State Line rd. a mile west of Rte. 41. He apparently lost his balance while backing the tractor to a plow coupling and fell beneath the machine. Two wheels passed over him, crushing his chest and causing other injuries from which he died within a few minutes. MEMBER OF FORESTERS Mr. Lux was 62 years of age, a member of the St. Anastasia parish and a member of the Catholic Order of Forester No. 1262. His wife preceded him in death, in 1918. Survivors include one son, George J. Lux Jr., Wadsworth, and seven daughters, Mrs. Elfering, whose address is Antioch; Mrs. W. John Finel, Mrs Michael Bellefy (was mis-spelled should be Bellefeuille) and Miss Alice Lux, all of Wadsworth, Mrs Harold Behringer, Mrs. William Boysen and Mrs. Raymond Shebesta, all of Libertyville. He also is survived by three sister, four brothers and 27 grandchildren. An inquest was ordered by Coroner Garfield R. Leaf at 4p.m. today in the funeral home at 408 N. Sheridan rd., Waukegan, where the body was taken. SAW TRACTOR RUNNING The fatal accident occured about 4:30p.m. Saturday while Mr. Lux was plowing a field on the Elfering farm adjacent to the McNamara farm. When his tractor stalled and he was unable to start it again, Jerry McNamara went over from the adjoining field and towed it about 25 feet to start it again. After starting the Lux tractor, McNamara went back to his own field. On arrival, he looked back and saw the Lux tractor backing in circles, and Mr. Lux lying on the ground. He called his father, Jerry McNamara, and a brother, Claude McNamara, and they called the Antioch rescue squad and a doctor, but Mr. Lux died before help could arrive. Sheriff's Deputies Frank Valenta and Raymond Simmers reported that, Mre. Lux evidently had backed his tractor back to the plow, from which it was disconnected while they started it again, and was thrown off balance when the coupling was made. The coupling bar had been broken. The left rear wheel of the tractor, with its 5-inch lugs, passed over his arm and the left front wheel then passed over his chest. Funeral services will be held at 9:30a,m, Wednesday from St. Anastasia, church, with buial in Ascension cemetery.	LUX George Joseph
131	Letter from (Aunt) Elizabeth Grace Lux to Alvera (Lux) Finel dated 5 Sept., 1972. "Dear Alvera, I was told my dad worked at the race track in Russel. He trained race horses and when the railroad was built in Wadsworth he moved to Wadsworth and was a boss on the railroad. In 1891, he moved to Waukegan and was a bar tender for Uncle Will Doyle. Uncle Will Doyle had a race horse and dad used to drive it for him. I remember when I was first married and living in North Chicago, Grace Sponenberg stayed with me a few days and got homesick. I brought her back to my mother. Dad happened to be driving Uncle Wills' horse. Aunt Bird & Uncle Norm were living on a farm on North Sheridan Rd. near Zion and dad put Grace inbetween his legs in the sulkey care and took her home. They had intended calling Wadsworth, LUXVILLE. When the railroad went through there, there was a man by the name of Wadsworth that had something to do with the railroad and they named it after him instead. Love, Aunt Grace".	LUX John Andrew

133	Emigrated to America in 1834 with his parents and siblings. (Extracted from the book titled: Portrait, biographical album of Lake County Illinois.) Sebastian Lux, was born in Alsace, then a province of France. When a boy of twelve or fifteen years he became a resident of Buffalo, N.Y., and in an early day emigreated westward, locating in McHenry county Illinois. Chicago was then a mere village and gave little promise of its wonderful growth. After working for awhile as a farm hand Mr. Lux returned to Buffalo, where on the 15th of February, 1844 he married Margaret Berst, a native of Germany, and for some years engaged in farming near that city. He again came to Illinois in 1852 and settled on section 27, Newport Township, Illinois where he purchased fifty acres of land afterward making it an eighty-acre tract. Here he lived the life of a hard-working, frugal farmer until January 20, 1888, when he was called to the land of rest, dying at the age of sixty-six years, nine months, and thirteen days. His wife departed this life February 20, 1889, aged sixty-seven years, two months and sixteen days. ======== Taken from "The History of Newport Township" The station at Wadsworth is becoming a place of considerable local importance. A town plat was laid out here by John Lux, and completed October 8, 1874.

134	Martin and his family arrived in New York aboard the ship CHARLEMAGNE on 11 May 1833. The ships' port of embarcation was; Havre. Martin briefly served as a Trustee of SS. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church in Williamsville, New York. Martins' farm was located on the east side of Cayuga Road in the town of Cheektowaga, which is now covered by the Greater Buffalo International Airport. His son, Peter Lux, had a farm on the other side of Cayuga Road, opposite his father's place. Mrs. Lux's brother, Martin Brauner, had the farm lying adjacent to Martin's on the east. This farm location was shown on an 1854 property map filmed by the LDS on microfiche #607930. Martin was a contributor to the building of the first frame school house at what is now Our Lady Help of Christians parish in Cheektowaga. The latter parish developed out of a chapel built by Cheektowaga settlers as an outpost of the Williamsville parish and served by the pastors of Williamsville. Cheektowaga was erected as a separate parish in 1890. Martin, Catharina, and her brother are buried in the old cemetery behind the chapel in Cheektowaga. Ship that LUX ancestors traveled on to America - 1833 CHARLEMAGNE The CHARLEMAGNE was a 3-masted, square-rigged ship, built by Christian Bergh & Co, New York, in 1828; registered at New York 30 June 1828. 442 tons; 124 x 28 x 14 feet (length x beam x depth of hold). From 1828 to 1832, she sailed in the Boyd or Second Line of packets between Havre and New York; during this period, her westward passages averaged 41 days, her fastest passage being 23 days, her slowest 59 days. In 1832, she was transferred to the Havre Old (later Union) Line, in which she sailed until 1838; during this period, her westward passages averaged 34 days, her fastest passage being again 23 days, her slowest 47 days. By 1838, she was considered too small and "outdated" for the highly competitive packet services, and she became a general trader [Forrest R. Holdcamper, comp., List of American-flag Merchant Vessels that received Certificates of Enrollment or Registry at the Port of New York, 1789-1867 (Record Groups 41 and 36), National Archives Publication 68-10, Special Lists 22 (Washington, DC: National Archives and Records Service, 1968), p. 118; Robert Greenhalgh Albion, Square-riggers on Schedule; The New York Sailing Packets to England, France, and the Cotton Ports (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1938), pp. 284-285]: 1839 - David Jackson, master, in the Third Line of New York-New Orleans; coastal packets [Carl C.

A ship CHARLEMAGNE, William J. Fales, master, sailed in the Packet Line of Boston-New York coastal packets in 1844, and in 1846 made a voyage from Liverpool to New York [Cutler, op. cit_, p. 448 and 512; National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 63, list #648 (passenger manifest dated 23 July 1846)]. I am not certain, however, without checking the tonnage on the passenger manifests, whether these refer to the former packet ship of 1828, or to the ship CHARLEMAGNE, 741 tons, built at Thomaston, Maine, in 1843, which sailed in the emigrant trade between Havre/Antwerp and New Orleans/New York in the early 1850's, and which was registered at New York as late as 4 February 1863. Albion (p. 101) states that the CHARLEMAGNE of 1828 "was valued at $12,000 when wrecked at the age of twenty", but, uncharacteristically, he gives no particulars. You should, however, be able to obtain this information from the Peabody Essex Museum. There are several pictures of the CHARLEMAGNE, by far the best being three water colors by the Marseilles marine painter Frederic Roux, the earliest dating from her maiden voyage in 1828, the second picturing her in heavy seas at lat. 42 lon. 46 30, on 1 April 1836, the third picturing her in stormy seas, partially dismasted, at lat 40 lon 68 30, on 28 January 1838. These watercolors are now in the collections of the Peabody Essex Museum, East India Square, Salem, MA 01970 - [Posted to the Emigration-Ships Mailing List by Michael Palmer - 22 February 1998 (courtesy of Daniel Kortenkamp)] (Research):address for cemetery where family buried; Our Lady of Christian Roman Catholic Church Cemetery 4125 Union Road at Genesse Street Cheektowaga, New York 14225 Book written about this cemetery titled; "THE CHAPEL" A comprehensive history of The Chapel 1979 and lists the names on the tombstones, the graves that do not have marker's are not listed. --------- TOWN OF CHEEKTOWAGA "Land of Crabapples" (JI-IK-WAH-GAH) named by the Seneca Indians referring to the apple-like fruit of the Hawthorn trees abundantly growing in the area. extracted from: http://members.tripod.com/!wnyroots/index-cheektowaga.html --------- HISTORY of CHEEKTOWAGA, NY FROM OUR COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE A DESCRIPTIVE WORK ON ERIE COUNTY NEW YORK EDITED BY: TRUMAN C. WHITE THE BOSTON HISTORY COMPANY, PUBLISHERS 1898 TOWN OF CHEEKTOWAGA. Cheektowaga was formed from Amherst on the 20th of March, 1829, and on the formation of West Seneca on October 16, 1851, was reduced to its present limits-about thirty-three square miles, or 18,710 acres. It is bounded on the east by Lancaster, on the south by West Seneca, on the west by the city of Buffalo, and on the north by Amherst; and embraces all of township 11, range 7, of the Holland Company's survey, except the western two tiers of lots, and also includes an irregular strip averaging one and one-half miles in width taken from the Buffalo Creek Reservation. The principal streams are Scajaquada Creek, flowing westerly through the center of the town; Cayuga Creek, in the southern part; and Ellicott or Eleven-mile Creek, in the northeastcorner. The surface is almost perfectly level, broken only by the valleys of these creeks; the soil is largely composed of clay and is fertile. The northeastern and southeastern parts of the town are devoted largely to farming or truck gardening, while the central portion is given up to railroads and allied enterprises. The western part is densely populated and in some respects closely identified with the city. The railroads which traverse the town are the West Shore, the New York Central & Hudson River, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the Lehigh Valley, and the Erie. The first town meeting was held at the house of Elnathan Bennett on April 16; 1829, and the following officers were elected: Alexander Hitchcock, supervisor; Jesse Vaughan, town clerk; John A. Dole, Israel N. Ely, and Abraham Hausen, justices of the peace; Elnathan Bennett, John A. Dole, and Apollos Hitchcock, assessors; Christopher Beam, Samuel Jenkins, and Amos Robinson, commissioners of highways; John B. Campbell, John A. Dole, and James N. Green, commissioners of schools; Matthew Campbell and John Hitchcock, overseers of the poor; Nelson Warner, collector; Jesse Vaughan, town sealer; Elnathan Bennett, Caleb Coatsworth, G. Beach, John A. Dole, Henry Deckhart, Michael Escherich, Asa Green, Philip Greiner, Samuel Jenkins, Jacob Kraise, Peter Light, Michael Keeble, John Moyer, Amos Richardson, Joseph Rowley, John Sand, Joseph Small, Jacob Kolo, William Schunerman, Samuel Warner, Matthew Van Dusen, and Jesse Vaughan, pathmasters. The following is a list of the supervisors of Cheektowaga, with their years of service: Alexander Hitchcock, 1839-41; Darius Kingley, 1842; Alexander Hitchcock, 1843- 44; James Warner, 1845; Manly Brown, 1846; Alexander Hitchcock, 1847; Manly Brown, 1848-49; E. P. Adams, 1850; Manly Brown, 1851; Israel N. Ely, 1852; Marvin Seamans, 1853-54; Gardner J. Rip, 1855; Frederick Loosen, 1856-57; Eldridge Farwell, 1858-62; Simeon H. Joslyn, 1863; E. Selden Ely, 1864-73; Joseph Duringer, 1874; E. Selden Ely, 1875; Pennock Winspear, 1876: Joseph Duringer, 1877-82; Frederick Stephan, 1883-88; John H. Stock, 1889-97. Settlement was commenced in Cheektowaga in February, 1808, by Apollos Hitchcock, who bame from Schenectady, N. Y., and located on lot 72. In 1829 he purchased fifty-nine acres at Cheektowaga Station, including a saw mill on Cayuga Creek; he built a woolen factory and in 1844 both establishments were burned. The saw mill was rebuilt and now remains partly dismantled. Among other settlers prior to the war of 1812 were Alexander Hitchcock, Eliphalet Densmore, Jason and Roswell Hatch, Samuel Le Suer, and Major Noble. The first birth of a white child was that of a child of Roswell Hatch in 1810. In the same year Samuel Le Suer built the first mill, which soon passed to Mr. Hitchcock. Jesse Munson opened the first tavern in 1815; in 1816 Elnathan Bennett built and opened another. The first death of a white person was that of Franklin Hitchcock in 1818. A large German immigration began soon after 1830, and it has continued ever since until now the town is largely occupied by people of German birth or parentage. In the list of the first officers and supervisors of Cheektowaga will be found the names of many early prominent settlers. Among other citizens were: Israel Ely, father of Calvin, E. Selden, E. Sterling, Israel N. and Judah Ely, Matthew Campbell and son John B., Elisha P. Adams, David C. Bennett. George Boothroy, Frederick Brennison, Solon Bruce, Jerome M. Campbell, Apollos Duringer and son Joseph, Alois Gerber, Blasius Groell, John Hinchy, James H. Hitchcock, Joseph Long, Sr., and son Joseph, Martin Lux and son Peter, Alexander G. Nagel, Philip Pittz, Samuel Rapen, Peter Reisch and son John, Philip Stephan and son Frederick, Joseph Voegele, Joseph Werick and son Henry P., John Willyoung, James Winspear and son Pennock, John Wurst, Grdfrey Zimmerman, John Zurbrick and Philip Zurbrick. The latter built a flouring mill on Cayuga creek in 1874; it was remodeled into a roller mill in 1882, and on his death in 1888 passed to his sons, Albert and Frank Zurbrick. The proximity of the town to Buffalo, Lancaster and Williamsville, and more recently to Depew, has prevented the growth of any considerable village within its limits. For many years the chief occupation of a large number of the inhabitants has been the raising of vegetables and other produce for the Buffalo market. A post-office was established at an early date with Alexander Hitchcock as postmaster, and in 1868-69 R. H. Haywood made an attempt to build up a village between the Central and Erie railroad tracks; streets and lots were laid out and the erection of an Episcopal church was commenced in 1869, but the enterprise found few supporters and soon proved a complete failure. About 1894 the name of the post-office was changed from Cheektowaga to Forks. Since about 1887 large tracts of land in the east half of the town have been laid out into building lots, many of which are occupied by residences or business places. In 1890 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad shops were established in Cheektowaga, just east of the city line, and around them has sprung up a village, which was incorporated under the name of Sloan in the spring of 1896. The first village officers were Edward C. Green, president; William Brennan, Charles Wright and Andrew Killgallon, trustees; Patrick J. Leahy, clerk; George Faber, treasurer. The post-office was established in 1890 with Edward C. Green as postmaster; he was succeeded by L. M. Sadler and he by Alfred W. Ackley. The same year a two-story frame school house was erected, and in 1891 a Congregational church was built, a chapel having been erected several years before. There are but two stores in the village. In the north part of the town, on the corner of Genesee street and Union road, is the Pilgrimage Chapel of Our Lady Help of Christians (Roman Catholic), which was founded by Joseph Bait, who donated six acres of land for the church and cemetery April 1, 1851. The chapel was built in 1853. Depew lies partly in this town, and owes its existence to various railroad and other shops established there since 1893. It is sufficiently noticed in the sketch devoted to Lancaster. Bellevue is a small hamlet of about thirty houses on Cayuga Creek, in the south part of the town. It also contains the power house of the Buffalo, Bellevue and Lancaster Electric Railroad, which was constructed between these points in 1893; a loop was built through Depew soon afterward. A post-office was established at Bellevue in January, 1894. Near Bellevue is the plant of the International Radiator Company and also the coal trestles of the Lehigh Valley and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Companies, the latter being the largest in the world.

136	The Waukegan Weekly Gazette Waukegan, Lake, Illinois 29 August, 1874 SUDDEN DEATH The people of Waukegan were startled on Wednesday afternoon last by a report that an esteemed citizen, a resident of the town of Newport, had met with a very sudden and somewhat singular death upon our streets. Mr. Nicholas Lux, the man to whom we refer, was an old resident of Lake County and a man held in high estimation by the entire community. On Wednesday last he came to town, being accompanied by two of his daughters. After accomplishing his business, he drove up to the residence of a relative, Mr. Schnieder, who resides in the first house east of the North school building, and, after hitching his team, went in and sat down for social visit. At about four o'clock some boys who were drawing some barrels of shavings on a hand cart passed by. The horses becoming frightened broke from their hitching post and started on a run up the street. Hearing the noise Mr. Lux ran out from the house and immediately started in pursuit, but before proceeding a dozen rods fell upon the sidewalk and almost immediately expired. Coroner Evans was immediately notified, impanneled a jury and held an inquest, the verdict being that death resulted from heart disease. Mr. Lux has always beeen regarded as a very healthy man, but during the past summer has frequently complained to his family of a difficulty about his heart or lungs. Often after some unusual exertion he has had made no complaint to any physician so far as we could learn. The team was caught by a boy near Mr. McAree's some two miles northwest of town. Neither horses nor wagon were very seriously injured.	LUX Nicholas

145	loose clipping undated [transcribed from Mathews Paste Book - page 128] [possibly 1897] Old Settler Passed Away. Mrs. Amelia Lux, one of the oldest residents of the county, died at home in Wadsworth monday evening at 7:50 o'clock. Death was the result of a paralytic stroke which came upon the afflicted lady at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The deceased had been paralyzed on one side for the past years and her sufferings had been such that she glady received the last call. She was the wife of Nicholas Lux, who died some twenty years ago. Mrs. Lux was 78 years of age. Having lived right in Wadsworth for the past fifty years, she could thus claim the distinction of one of the very oldest settlers. She leaves a family of eight children, their names being as follows; Charles, of Nebraska; Mrs. Helen Peterson, Wadsworth; Mrs. Barbara Nuth, Detroit, Mich; Nicholas and John, Wadsworth; Mrs. Wm. Doyle, Waukegan; Edward, Wadsworth; Mrs. W.B. Higley, Grayslake. The funeral was held thursday morning at 10:00 o'clock from the house, the procession going directly to the Catholic Church in Rosecrans, where Rev. Father Bruton officiated at the service. A desire often expressed by the elderly lady, was that when she was laid to rest, no flowers should be placed on her grave.	MENSCH Amelia
