DEATH OF JUDGE MOTT

Pioneer Resident of Winterset Dies in Des Moines

Following a stroke of paralysis occurring several weeks ago, Judge Frederick Mott died in Des Moines on Sunday afternoon, July 2nd at two o'clock. With his death, has passed one of the best known men of this county.

He was a Pennsylvanian, born Jan. 14, 1828 in Susquehanna county, moving to our town in 1857. His marriage to Miss Mary Best occurred here in July 1861. Their four sons, Shelton, Leonard, Chester and Myron, were born and grew to manhood here. Since Mrs. Mott's death in 1906, Judge Mott has made his home in Des Moines with his sons.

His service in the 39th Iowa, as quartermaster and assistant adjutant general, afforded him an opportunity for a wide acquaintance, which became still more extensive in later years from his public services. As judge of the circuit court, professor of law at the S.U.I. and as president of the Baptist college in Des Moines, he was honored and respected. In later years, he was long associated with the First National Bank as cashier, director and president.

During his long residence in Winterset Judge Mott was widely known for his Christian character. As a churchman, he was earnest and devoted; his family ties were strong, comradeship with the veterans was dear to him and he was kind hearted and generous to a fault. Loyalty and honesty were strong traits and older people of this vicinity will recognize the value of his life, labor and influence upon this county and town. He was one of the last of the old time leaders who located here in the history making days of Winterset.

The body will be brought here for burial tomorrow morning, services to be held at ten o'clock in the Baptist church.

“Lathrop History” (From the Collection of Susquehanna County Historical Society, Montrose, PA)HISTORY

Dea. William Lathrop married Sarah Brown February 8, 1796. She died August 18, 1839. They had fourteen(?) children, the last two being twins. He married for a second wife Sarah Fairbrother February 2, 1840. They had one child, Anson, born May 31, 1841…Dea. William Lathrop died April 18, 1865. His second wife died December 9, 1884. He moved from Unadilla, New York to Rush, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the winter of 1800-1801, with an ox team, passing through what is now Montrose – was then all woods.

The year 1799 witnessed a rapid increase in the number of settlers on the East Branch, or main stream of the Wyalusing. Nathan Tupper and William Lathrop came together, from Unadilla, NY, locating at what is now Grangerville. They cut their road a part of the distance…Deacon Lathrop’s cabin had only a blanket for a door, and he was obliged to pile up wood against it at night to keep out the wolves. His location was at the mouth of Lake Creek. He lived here until his death in 1865, in his ninetieth year. Of the ten children of Wm. Lathrop, only two, Nelson and Catherine (widow of Eben Picket of Jessup), are living in Susquehanna County.
