It was probably in the fall of 1885 that 18 year-old Ada Bevers met William Mankey. Ada had immigrated from England only about 10 months prior. William, having immigrated from England in 18751 and having worked (as of 1880) in a mine in Deer Park Township, La Salle County, Illinois,2 by 1882 had obtained a tract of land in Clark County, Dakota Territory.3 In October 1885 Ada’s father, Alfred C. Bevers, was assigned to be the supply pastor of the Henry Methodist Episcopal (M. E.) Church in southwestern Codington County, Dakota Territory.4 The charge may have included a congregation located in Garden City as well, which was about 12 miles to the northwest of Henry, over the county line in Clark County. It is known that in 1888, William and his mother were members of the Garden City congregation and William was also a steward of the Henry Charge.5
Ada’s family lived in Henry for two years, then her father was assigned to Wolsey M. E. Church and the following year he was assigned to Bradley M. E. Church. Around this time period, Alfred submitted a claim for a homestead in Phipps Township, in western Codington County, about 10 miles northeast of Garden City. When Alfred and his wife Mary celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in September 1889 at their small home on the homestead, it is believed that William attended the gathering. (See a photograph of the group attending the celebration in Ada, Gertie and Maude).
Ada and William would eventually marry on October 28, 1891.6 During the next decade, they lived on their farm in Clark County and they would have three children born to them. Their first child, Florence Gertrude, was born on October 16, 1892.7 Her namesakes were Ada’s sisters, Florence who had died as an infant and Gertrude who was still living with Ada’s parents. On April 13, 1894, Ada gave birth to William Arthur,8 named after his father of course and one of Ada’s deceased brothers Arthur. On June 7, 1897, George Floyd was born, named after Ada’s eldest brother George, who was living in Philadelphia.9 By 1898, Ada’s parents and sisters Gertrude and Maude had moved to De Smet, the county seat of Kingsbury County, about 50 miles to the south of William and Ada’s farm.
When the 1900 United States census was taken, 32-year-old Ada and 42-year-old William had been married for eight years.10 They were living on the farm that they owned in Eden Township, Clark County. William was a farmer and a naturalized citizen, having lived in the United States for 25 years. The census recorded that Ada had immigrated in 1884 and had been in the United States for 16 years. She was not a naturalized citizen (although she had submitted her intention to become a citizen in 1889.)11 Seven year-old Florence had attended five months of school that year. W. Arthur was six years-old and G. Floyd was two years old. On the section to the east of William and Ada’s farm, William’s mother Mary lived with his brother Tobias, his sister Margaret Minor and Margaret’s three children.12 William’s father Thomas had passed away in 1899 and is buried in Garden City Cemetery.13
The quarter section in Eden Township that William and Ada owned can be found on a 1900 map of Clark County; the farm is about a mile north of Garden City and labeled with Ada’s name.14 Adjacent to Ada and William’s farm, the map shows the quarter section owned by Mary Mankey, and to the east of her farm, William’s brother Thomas Mankey held a quarter section. Not far away in Maydell Township to the north were the farms of William’s brothers Tobias and James Mankey.
William and Ada added another daughter to their family, Hazel Maude, on September 14, 1904.15 She was named after Ada’s youngest sister Maude. When the South Dakota census was taken in 1905, the Mankey family was still living at the same location in Eden Township. Four years later, William’s mother passed away in 1909 and was buried with his father in Garden City Cemetery.16
In late winter 1909, Ada made a trip to De Smet to visit her parents for several days. Possibly she traveled by train. The Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul Railway had an extension which had stations at Garden City and Lake Preston, a town ten miles to the east of De Smet. A year and a half after this visit, Ada’s mother, who had been afflicted with diabetes for nearly four years, passed away in July 1910.17 Shortly afterwards, Ada’s father spent a month at Ada’s home and her sister Gertrude joined them after visiting some friends.
When the 1910 United States census was taken, Ada and William were still living on a farm in Eden Township.18 Florence (age 17), W. Arthur (age 16) and G. Floyd (age 12) had all attended school that year. Hazel at five years-old had not attended school. While in high school, W. Arthur made a glider from plans published in the magazine Popular Mechanics.19
Both the 1900 and the 1910 censuses asked women how many children they had and how many of them were alive. Ada had given birth to four children and all of them were alive. This was unlike her mother, who had born 11 children, six of which passed away in their first or second year of life. In England early childhood mortality (deaths of children between the age one and five) had begun to decline about 1870, but infant mortality (deaths of children before the age of one) didn’t decline until around the turn of the twentieth century.20 Ada’s mother was living in England and bearing children when infant mortality was high. Ada’s children were born during a period of steady decline in child mortality in the United States.21
In 1915 when the South Dakota state census was taken, Florence and Hazel were at home with Ada and William.22 W. Arthur was attending his second year of college at Dakota Wesleyan University (DWU) in Mitchell, South Dakota.23 He was studying Engineering and Math.24 The census records identify the family’s religion as “M. E.” (Methodist Episcopal). It is not known where G. Floyd was at the time of this census, but according to the 1930 United States census he was a veteran of “the World War,”25 which would be World War 1. He was a seaman in the United States Navy from May to December 1918.26
The first of William and Ada’s children to marry was W. Arthur. He married Birdella A. Carhart in April 1916 in Mitchell,27 where they had met while he was attending DWU. The officiating clergyman was Birdella’s father, A. E. Carhart, who was a minister in the M. E. Church. A year and a half after their marriage, W. Arthur and Birdella had their first child, born in December 1917, giving William and Ada their first grandchild. By then, W. Arthur and Birdella were living in Washington, D. C.28 They would give Ada and William their second and third grandchildren in July 1921 and January 1924.
By the time the United States census was taken in January 1920, William and Ada had purchased and lived on a dairy farm outside of Remington, Fauquier County, Virginia, about 60 miles southwest of Washington, D. C.29 William was 61 years-old, a naturalized citizen and a dairy farmer. Ada was 52 years-old and she was also naturalized. Their 27 year-old daughter Florence and 15 year-old daughter Hazel were living with them, and Hazel was attending school. W. Arthur, Birdella and their child were in a rented place in Washington, D. C.30 W. Arthur was a draftsman, working for the Navy Department. G. Floyd was possibly lodging in Washington, D. C. and working as an automobile salesman.31 A year after the census was taken, back in DeSmet, South Dakota, Ada’s father passed away in September 1921.32
In the early 1920s, W. Arthur would move to southern California and embark on a career in aviation engineering. During the next several decades he would play a role in the advancement of the aviation field and in its regulation. One of his first accomplishments was modifying an airplane wing which with one further modification became the wing of Colonel Charles Lindbergh’s plane, the Spirit of Saint Louis.33 In 1927, the Spirit of Saint Louis was the first plane to be successfully flown across the Atlantic Ocean.
At noon on November 21, 1923, a wedding was performed at Ada and William’s “Fairview Farm.”34 Florence married Grant B. Bruce, a widower employed by the Government Forestry Department in Washington, D. C. The city directory provides additional information: He was a statistician for the Department of Agriculture.35 Upon settling in Grant’s home in northwest Washington, D. C., Florence would host lodgers in their home for the next couple of decades. Many of the lodgers worked for the United States government.
Two more weddings occurred in the 1920s. Hazel married James H. Weeks in October 1924,36 and G. Floyd, who had moved to San Francisco in the mid-1920s, married Lucia Neira, an Italian immigrant, in May 1927.37
In December 1927, Ada’s sister Gertrude mailed a Christmas greeting card from the town of Remington, Virginia. The card was addressed to one of her brother Herbert’s sons and his wife, Willis and Elizabeth Bevers, in Hazel, South Dakota. Presumably Gertrude was visiting Ada and her family.
According to the 1930 United States census, 61 year-old Ada and 71 year-old William were living on a dairy farm that they owned, still in Fauquier County. William was a farmer and he had worked on the day before the census taker visited their home.38 He was not a veteran. They did not own a radio set. Florence and Grant were living at the same location in Washington, D. C.39 W. Arthur and his family had left California and were living in Detroit, Michigan. W. Arthur was an aeronautical engineer, working in the auto products industry.40 George and Lucille were in San Francisco and George was working as an automobile salesman.41 They owned a radio set. Hazel and James were living with her in-laws on her father-in-law’s dairy farm which was not far from Ada and William.42 They had two children by this time, giving Ada and William a total of five grandchildren. Three years later, Florence would give them their sixth grandchild.
In 1935, Ada and William still lived on a farm outside of Remington.43 Florence and Grant with their child were living at the same address as previously in Washington, D. C.44 W. Arthur and his family had moved to Santa Monica, California.45 Hazel and James were on a farm in Lee, Virginia.46 George and Lucille still lived in San Francisco,47 but by 1937, they would move to southern California where Lucille gave birth to Ada and William’s seventh grandchild.48
Tragedy struck Ada and Florence within a single day of each other. Florence’s husband died on April 30, 1938. Grant had worked for the federal government for about 37 years and had been “in charge of all map records of the United States Forest Service” for 25 years before his retirement in May 1937.49 The day after Grant died, William at nearly 80 years-old passed away on May 1, 1938. His death certificate states that he worked as a dairy farmer “to time of death.”50 William is buried in Remington Cemetery, Remington, Virginia.
The 1940 United States census record indicates that 72 year-old Ada was a lodger in Washington, D. C. and in the previous year she had received more than $50.00 that was not money wages or salary.51 Florence, at 46 years-old was continuing to live at the same residence which she owned in Washington, D. C.; also at the residence was her seven year-old child and three lodgers.52 W. Arthur had returned to the east coast, he and his family were living in Baltimore County, Maryland.53 He was an aeronautical engineer at an airplane factory. George and Lucille had moved to Montebello, Los Angeles County and he was working as a house roofer.54 Hazel and her family were still living on a farm in Lee, Virginia.55 Her father-in-law lived with them and they had two children. There was also a lodger and a servant living with them.
During the last years of Ada’s life, her eighth and ninth grandchildren were born, the children of Hazel and James, born in 194056 and 1943.57 At the age of 75, Ada’s last days were spent in Warrenton Hospital, Fauquier County and she died there on Monday, July 19, 1943. She is buried in Remington Cemetery with her husband.
