Notes for L
ORING REUBEN SWAIN:
Found Loring (Lorin) R. Swain in the 1880 US Census, Union Twp., Jefferson Co., Kansas. He was living with the Wygle family and his occupation was a clerk in a dry goods store. His age was 27, born in Indiana, fathers birth place listed as Virginia , and mothers birth place as Ohio.

These documents were found in the Civil War Pension Records for William H. Swain and Elizabeth M. Swain - now Thomas.

Documents;

1. Affidavit from the Court of the County of Cook, State of Illinois, October 12,
1868, that Elizabeth M. Thomas was not making a claim for pension for
Loring R. Swain, first child of William H. Swain and his wife Elizabeth, as
Loring R. Swain had been adopted by his maternal grandmother Cynthia
Pickering.
Signed; Elizabeth Thomas

2. Affidavit from the Court of the State of Indiana, County of Henry, October 29,
1868, that Cynthia Pickering has no interest in the claim by guardian Elizabeth
M. Thomas for Loring R. Swain for pension.
Signed; Cynthia Pickering
Cadiz, Henry Co., IN.
Affirmed; Caleb Bond JP

Cynthia Pickering adopted Loring R. Swain after Elizabeth married William P. Thomas
in 1865. I recall my grandfather John Garland Swain telling of his fathers cruel stepfather, and of Loring R. Swain running away from home. Now we know where he went.

Notes for L
OUISANA (LUCY) ANN RICE:
Decease of Mrs. L. R. Swain

Mrs. Lucy A. Swain, wife of L. R. Swain, who for two years past has been in declining health from tuberculosis passed peacefully to her final rest on Sunday morning, the 19th. at her home in East Whittier.

The deceased was born in Jefferson Co., Kansas, July 29th, 1861, and fifteen years ago was married to Mr. L. R. Swain, who with two children are left to mourn her loss. During her protracted illness she evinced marked patience and sweetness of spirit and she approached the final close with calm resignation to the Divine Will.

A largely attended funeral service was conducted at Friends Church Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Esther Hiatt, assisted by Rev. Thomas Armstrong and Mrs. N. M. Arnold.
WHITTIER, CA. REGISTER.

Mrs. Swain was born in this township, and was a daughter of the late Andrew Rice, and a niece of Larkin Rice. She leaves here a mother and several brothers and sisters to mourn her decease, in which they have the sympathy of all our citizens.

A funeral service for the benefit of the friends in this neighborhood will be held at the Edmonds church next Sunday morning, the sermon to be preached by Rev. Frank Marshall, assisted by Hon. Matt Edmonds.
