5.3 Lydia A. McCartney
born May 1850 passed away as an infant July 16, 1851 and is buried in Glendale Union Cemetery, Cardington, Morrow Co., OH.

5.4 Paden Airen McCartney born April 25, 1852 in Morrow Co., OH married Rachel P. "Nellie" England on June 12, 1873 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their three children were (1) Clara A.; (2) Louis J. "Louie"; and (3) Cornelius S. Interestingly, Paden's uncle (father's brother) was named Paden [Aron] McCartney, and that same uncle named one of his sons Paden as well.

The 1880 federal census and the 1885 state census of Muscatine Co., show Paden and family living in Wilton. Sometime after 1885 but before 1889 the family moved three counties west of Muscatine Co. to What Cheer (Keokuk Co.), IA as their daughter Louis J. "Louie" passed away at the age of twelve and was buried September 11, 1889 in Highland Cemetery. A year earlier Paden's brothers James B. and Robert C. married two women also from What Cheer at What Cheer within eight months of each other. It is highly probable brothers James B. and Robert C. were living with their older brother Paden and his wife at the time of their marriages.

Paden and Rachel again moved between 1889 and 1916 to Milan (Sullivan Co.), MO to be closer to Rachael's relatives, as the 1916 obituary of Paden's mother places him there. I walked the Elmwood Cemetery in Milan July 21, 1995 and found many of Rachel's relatives buried there. Paden and Rachel's son Cornelius died in 1920 and was buried in Milan's Oakwood Cemetery. Rachel died five years later June 11, 1925 of chronic nephritis and was also buried in Oakwood Cemetery - "Block 2, lot 71 S 1/2, by order of P.A. McCartney" [Register of Funerals 1891-1964, Schoene Funeral Home, Milan, MO c 1995 by Juanita Hall]. I walked this large cemetery July 21, 1995 but could not find Rachel's stone but did find her son Cornelius's stone, in a large open area with no nearby stones. I later confirmed Rachael was buried with her son Cornelius as I had assumed. Shortly after the death of his wife Rachel, Paden moved from Milan to Harrisburg, IL where he made his residency with his daughter, Clara A. (McCartney) Churchill. Paden passed away November 23, 1935 in Harrisburg, IL, but was shipped back to Milan for burial in Oakwood, beside his wife and son.

5.5 Emma Francis McCartney born July 25, 1855 in IN married Hugh Thompson on July 3, 1873 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their only child was Mary H. Hugh's first wife Samantha Ensign passed away in 1872. Samantha's child from her previous marriage was James Ensign born 1856 and died 1874 in a train accident. Emma passed away August 1, 1951 in Wilton, and her husband Hugh forty years earlier also in Wilton, May 10, 1911. Emma and Hugh are buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilton, IA.
