 Joshua Barth Shuey 1851 or 1852-1895 |  Joshua's wife Inez Ina Anna Burdick 1862-1925 | Excerpt from ACURSO FAMILY HISTORY from the viewpoint of Rosalie I. Acurso/Clevenger as told to daughter Barbara during April-June 2005: "The Shuey family had 6 girls and an older brother who died at age 7 or 8. They were: Daisy (who was murdered - download a PDF of the newspaper articles about Daisy's murder); Bess (born in 1884); Mable (our grandmother, born 1882, was adopted out to the Gary family); Stella (who was put out for adoption, but returned to the family when she was not adopted); Lil and Maude. Grandfather Shuey, as Mable remembered, was bedridden and had to have pulleys from the ceiling that would help him. He and his family came from Wisconsin." | |
| Joshua and Inez' great-great granddaughter related this to us: "...did you know that Joshua gave all the girls names of horses. He traded in horses and would sell them off of the back of a wagon when he started to get crippled. The crippling arthritis runs in the family and several members of the family died young with it. Anyway, I guess he liked horses so he gave those types of names to his daughters." She provided us with a PDF she transcribed from microfilms of the original newspaper accounts of her great-grandmother Daisy Shuey-Anderson's murder. Once you read the accounts, you will see that Daisy was a hero. | |||
