According to an article in the 21 March 1946 edition of the Janesville Gazette, the "class" was formed at South Lima, two miles northwest of Lima Center. "There a frame church edifice was erected and dedicated in 1857.

Biography
Emma Jane Bullock was born on 31 January 1850 in Johnstown, Rock County, Wisconsin. [Note: Janes, page 360 and Janes-Peek, page 222 state that Ebenezer Bullock and Thankful Janes had a son, Edmund J. Bullock, who was born on 30 June 1850. I believe that is an error and that the child was actually Emma Jane Bullock, born 31 January 1850.]
.
Emma Jane Bullock married James Spellman Bartlett, son of Elisha Williams Bartlett and Margaret Corcoran, on 11 March 1872 in Rock County, Wisconsin. They were wed in a religious ceremony about four years after James' arrival in Rock County from New York [Rock County, Wisconsin, Marriages, Vol. 4 (1869-72), page 348]. Emma Jane Bullock, 22, was born January 31, 1850, at Johnstown Center, Rock County, Wisconsin. She was a member of the Janes family who founded nearby Janesville, Wisconsin. Three children were born to James and Emma at Lima Center, Wisconsin: Henry Bartlett on February 9, 1873 [or 1874], Cora May ("Co") Bartlett on June 13, 1876, and Clarence Emery Bartlett on January 23, 1881. The children attended the Bullock School named after Emma's family.1
Emma Jane Bullock died on 14 February 1902 in Salem House hotel, Salem, McCook County, South Dakota, at age 52. It was in Salem, South Dakota, that Emma Bartlett's earthly travels ended on Valentine's Day 1902 when she succumbed after months of suffering to stomach cancer and at age 51 joined her beloved son Henry in death. Later that year, James, Clarence and Ethel Bartlett moved to Northfield, Minnesota, where they operated the Archer House hotel and sold real estate. They continued these activities as they moved from Northfield Sioux City, Iowa, (operating the Oxford House hotel), to Minneota (operating the Pacific Hotel), Hancock (operating the Hotel Columbia), Tracy (operating the Exchange Hotel), Browns Valley (operating yet another hotel), all in Minnesota, and Dell Rapids, South Dakota, where Clarence's sister Cora lived with her husband Sam and son Glenn Carroll. Lonely after his wife Emma's death, James Bartlett lived with Clarence and Ethel for most of the rest of his life. James died at Dell Rapids on February 21, 1918, at age 70 and is buried beside his wife Emma at Madison. She was buried on 17 February 1902 in Graceland Cemetery, Madison, Lake County, South Dakota, in Block 14, Lot 2, Grave 3.2

Emma Jane Bartlett and James Spellman Bartlett moved from Lima, Rock County, Wisconsin, to Orange County, CA, where their oldest child Henry died in 1888. He had caught pnemonia on the train from Wisconsin. circa 1888.
In early 1888, James and Emma [Bullock] Bartlett and their three children, Henry, Cora and Clarence, packed their belongings and left Rock County, Wisconsin, by train for Orange County, California, where they planned to raise citrus fruit in the warm Southern California sun. Tragically, their oldest son Henry developed pneumonia during the winter train trip and died at Tustin, Orange County, California, in 1888 at age 15. Henry was buried at Santa Ana, California. His mother, Emma, was devastated by Henry's death and refused to stay in California. So later that same year [1888], James and Emma Bartlett and their two surviving children, Cora and Clarence], boarded the train to get a new start operating a hotel in Fairbury, Nebraska. In Fairbury, Clarence graduated from high school in 1898 where he played guard on the football team. While fingering his revolver one day, he accidently discharged the weapon sending the bullet deep into his thigh. The doctor was unable to remove it, and in later years the embedded bullet enabled Clarence to forecast the approach of stormy weather. In 1898, Cora, 21, married Samuel W. Carrol, 30 (born September 19, 1867), and on October 4, 1898, a son, Glenn Bartlett Carrol, was born to them at Fairbury.
Emma Jane Bullock and James Spellman Bartlett moved from Fairbury, Jefferson County, Nebraska, to Madison, SD, circa 1899.
Emma Jane Bartlett and James Spellman Bartlett appeared on the census of 1900 in 502 Egan Avenue (Madison House hotel), Madison, Lake County, South Dakota, which lists James S. Bartlett, 52, born January 1848 in New York, father born in Massachusetts, mother born in Ireland; his wife Emma J. Bartlett, 50, born January 1850 in Wisconsin, both parents born in New York; their son Clarence E. Bartlett, 19, born January 1881 in Wisconsin; their daughter Cora M.

Carroll, 32, born December 1867 in Tennessee; their grandson Glenn Carroll, 1, born October 1898 in Nebraska; and three boarders living in their hotel. James and Emma had been married 28 years (since about 1872); Emma had given birth to three children, two of whom were living [Henry had died in California in 1888]. Cora and Samuel had been married three years (since about 1897); Cora had given birth to one child [Glenn] who was living.

Emma Jane Bartlett and James Spellman Bartlett moved from Madison, Lake County, South Dakota, to Salem, McCook County, SD, in May 1901. where they managed the Lewis House hotel. Built in 1885, the Lewis House (with 44 guest rooms, four sample rooms for traveling salesmen, a dining room and a huge lobby) was in its heyday one of the finest hotels in the area and a top attraction in Dakota Territory.
From an undated Dell Rapids,SD, Tribune: The Madison [SD] Leader last Saturday contained the following regarding Mrs. J.E. [sic] Bartlett who has visited in Dell Rapids [SD] a few times with her daughter Mrs. S.W. Carroll. Mrs. Bartlett went to [the Mayo Clinic at] Rochester, Minn., to have an operation performed in the hospital at that place. The operation upon the lady was begun, when it was discovered that she was afflicted with a large tumor which would cause instant death to remove. Further operation was abandoned and it is not thought that relief can ne afforded her.
The 14 February 1902 edition (page 5) of the Salem [McCook County, South Dakota] Special carried the following obituary for Emma Jane Bullock Bartlett:
Died -- In this city, Friday, February 14, 1902, from tumor of the stomach, Mrs. J. S. Bartlett, aged 51 [sic; should be 52] years and 14 days.
Emma Jane Bullock was born at Jonestown [sic; actually, Johnstown] (near Whitewater), Wisconsin, January 31, 1850, where her girlhood was spent. In the same neighborhood, thirty years ago the 10th of next month [sic; actually, 11 March 1872], she was married to James S. Bartlett. In 1888 the family moved to Orange, California, and during the same year to Fairbury, Nebraska, where for several years they were in the hotel business. Moving to Madison, South Dakota, in 1899, they conducted a hotel until May, 1901, when they came to Salem and have since conducted the Lewis House. Three children were born to them; Henry, the eldest, died in California at the age of 15 [in 1888]; the daughter, now Mrs. S. W. Carroll, of Dell Rapids, [South Dakota], and son Clarence E. [Bartlett], with the grief-stricken husband, remain to mourn her loss. At the age of 15 [in 1865], the deceased joined the United Brethren Church and has lived always the life of a Christian woman. Loved by her family and those who knew her, her presence will be greatly missed. Her death leaves a vacancy in the family that can never be filled. Though the world at large knew her but little, those who did will say that her life work was not in vain. She had no fear of death, her only regret being to leave those she loved. A great sufferer for months, she has found peace and comfort in a world that knows no pain nor sorrow.
Services were held at the house Sunday afternoon [16 February 1902], where Revs. Shepherd and Forde officiated, and at which there was a large attendance of relatives and friends. The testimonials of flowers were handsome, large, and appropriate. Monday morning [17 February 1902], the remains, attended by the husband, Mrs. Carroll, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Bartlett, were taken to Madison [Lake County, South Dakota] and laid to rest in the cemetery there.

The Thursday, 26 October 1922, edition of the Dell Rapids (Minnehaha County, South Dakota) Tribune carried the following story (page 1, column 4):
SAM CARROLL STRICKEN
S.W. Carrol is lying dangerously ill at his home from a paralytic attack which seized him on Tuesday [24 October 1922] afternoon. Mr. Carroll was recently very ill with heart trouble, but was feeling well again. On Tuesday morning Mrs. Carroll went to a neighbor for a few minutes and upon her return found Mr. Carroll unconscious in the bathroom. Dr. A.F. Grove was summoned, and Mr. Carroll was found to be suffering from a severe stroke of paralysis of the right side. He has been unable to speak and only to move his right hand slightly at this time. It is feared that he is in great danger, because he is so slow in rallying. There was little change in his condition today.
The Thursday, 2 November 1922, edition of The Tribune carried his obituary (page 1, column 1):
DEATH SUMMONS SAMUEL W. CARROLL
LONG TIME RESIDENT OF THE COMMUNITY PASSES AWAY FOLLOWING SEVERE STROKE OF PARALYSIS
Following a severe stroke of paralysis on Tuesday [24 October 1922] of last week, Samuel W. Carroll passed away shortly after 8 o'clock on Saturday [28 October 1922] morning, without having rallied at all from the effects of the stroke. He was helpless until the end, being only able to move one hand slightly, and not being able to speak or in any way communicate with the members of the family. After the first day or two it was known that the case was virtuality hopeless, yet hope was sustained, and his death was as hard to bear as if there had been a chance.
The funeral services were held on Monday [30 October 1922] afternoon at the home. There was a large crowd of friends present to pay their last respects, many coming up from Sioux Falls [SD]. Only a comparative few were able to get into the house where the services were held, but many outside were able to hear through the open windows. Rev. P.C. Larsen, pastor of the First Baptist Church and a brother Odd Fellow of the deceased, conducted the service, speaking comforting words from the text "The living know that they shall die." Eccles. 9:5. Members of the Methodist choir saw appropriate songs.
The pallbearers were C.E. Dallison, Dick Richardson, Frank McVenes, Wm. Walters, A.J. Nesby, and W.E. Owen, all long-time friends of the dead man.
Members of the Odd Fellows lodge, of which he was a member of many years' standing, and of the Rebekah lodge were in attendance at the services, meeting at the hall and marching in regalia to the home and accompanying the procession to the cemetery were the Odd Fellows' burial service was read. The brother lodge men then marched past the open grave, throwing in sprigs of evergreen on the casket bearing the body of the dead brother. The funeral was one of the most largely attended ever held in Dell Rapids, the procession of motor cars being about a half mile long.
The floral offerings were very beautiful, consisting largely of large white and yellow chrysanthemums. Flowers were sent by the American Legion, the son, Glenn B. Carroll, being a member of that body. A floral piece was sent from Sioux Falls by the democratic county central committee, and there were many others.
Mr. Carroll was one of the best known and best liked men in the Dell Rapids community. He always took an active part in politics and in the welfare of his home town. For many years he was chief of the volunteer fire department, and many a home in Dell Rapids owes its existence because of his good work in directing the work of fire fighting. He had the faculty of making and keeping strong friends, and the presence of so large a crowd at the funeral showed the respect and esteem for the man. His family were not the only ones who mourned for Mr. Carroll that day, nor who will hold him in long and found remembrance.
Samuel William Carroll was born near Louden, Tennessee, December 19, 1867. At the age of five years he moved with his family to Randal, Jewell County, Kansas, where he resided until 1889, moving to Fairbury, Nebraska, where he engaged in the barber business.
In December 1891 he was united in marriage to Eva Churchwell. To this union was born one son, Claude Clifford, but at the age of 7 months the child and mother passed away within eleven days of each other in 1893.
In the year 1897, he was united in marriage to Cora M. Bartlett, of Fairbury, Nebraska. To this union was born one son, Glenn.
In the year 1901, the family moved to Dell Rapids where they have since resided. In 1913 Mr. Carroll went into the real estate business with P.J. McDermott which partnership existed at the time of his death.
In early life he was united the the Christian church and was a member of the Maccabee and I.O.O.F. lodges.
He died at the age of 54 years, 10 months and 3 days at his home in Dell Rapids. He leaves to mourn him his wife [Cora] and son Glenn; four brothers, James, Bowman, Frank and John; and four sisters, Mrs. Mary Hendrick, Mrs. Isabel Gahens, Mrs. Effie Bruch, and Mrs. Verda Boddye, all of whom are living in Kansas.

Glenn Bartlett Carroll was graduated on 2 June 1916 in Dell Rapids High School, Dell Rapids, Minnehaha County, South Dakota, He was president of his senior class. He registered for the draft for World War I on 12 September 1918, while living at Dell Rapids, Minnehaha County, South Dakota, reporting he was employed by The Granite City Bank as the Assistant Cashier.4 He was a soldier in World War I.
He appeared on the census of 1920 in the household of Samuel William Carroll and Cora (Co) May Carroll in Dell Rapids, Minnehaha County, South Dakota.5 Glenn Bartlett Carroll was the Cashier at a bank in 1920.5
Glenn Bartlett Carroll appeared on the census of 1925 in Dell Rapids, Minnehaha County, South Dakota.6
The 21 September 1927 edition of the Dell Rapids (Minnehaha County, South Dakota) Tribune carried the following story:
Glenn B. Carroll and his mother, Mrs. Cora Carroll, and Ben Dieson left Wednesday for Tucson, Arizona. Glenn's health has been very poor for several weeks. For some time he was confined to his bed, but has been able to get around recently. But as his lungs were affected, the physicians advised that he go to a warmer clime and recommended Tucson. Ben Dieson went with them to help in changing trains and getting settled in the health resort. It is hoped that Glenn's health will rapidly improve and that he will soon be able to return and take up his business interest again.
The Dell Rapids (Minnehaha County, South Dakota) Tribune carried the following obituary:
GLENN CARROLL, WORLD WAR VETERAN, IS DEAD
PASSED AWAY ON FRIDAY AT TUCSON, ARIZONA; FUNERAL WILL BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON
Glenn Bartlett Carroll was born at Fairbury, Nebraska, October 4th, 1898, and died at the age of 31 years, 2 months and 29 days. When he was ten months of age [in 1899], he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.W. Carroll, to Madison, South Dakota. In 1901 they moved to Dell Rapids where they have since made their home and where Glenn attended the public school, graduating with the class of 1916.
In 1917 he was employed by the Granite City Bank. In September of the following year [1918], he enlisted in the S.A.T.C. at Vermillion [SD], where he remained until his release in December 1918, after the signing of the Armistice. He then returned to Dell Rapids, becoming cashier of the Granite City Bank, which position he held until the time of its closing. He then entered the real estate and insurance business, maintaining an office until his departure [in September 1927] with his mother for Tucson, Arizona, hoping to regain his health.
Glenn was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, I.O.O.F. lodge, Masonic lodge, American Legion, and Commercial Club. He was also a member of the park board, held the office of city treasurer, and was secretary of the Farmers Grain Co.
The deceased passed away January 3rd, 1930, at the U.S. Veterans hospital in Tucson, Arizona, where he had been the past two years. He leaves to mourn his loss his widowed mother [Cora Bartlett Carroll], his father [Samuel Carroll] having preceded him in death October 28th, 1922. He also leaves an uncle, C.E. Bartlett, and family of Madison [SD] and [his late father's] relatives residing in Kansas, besides a host of friends.
A young man of high ideals, lofty aspirations; honest, energetic, amiable, ambitious -- all who knew him were his friends. His genial disposition and sterling worth, his tender heart and strength of character, his kindliness yet firmness for what he considered right, his clean life as boy and young man, his purposes and aims in life, all combined to make of Glenn a man that a community can ill afford to lose. He is gone but not forgotten, for his influence lives after him. Grounded in Christian faith, he met the end with the same fortitude and courage that he had met life. Let us believe that his dying eyes read the mystic meaning of the future as only a saved and parting soul may do.
"I lost a friend the other day --
His heart was pure and strong and true;
Our days were sweet, but all too few;
He passed from earth -- the other day.
But while I see him here no more,
I know that on a happier shore,
Not here, but in eternity,
God will give back my friend to me."

Doris Killen appeared on the census of 1900 in the household of Kate (Elizabeth Katherine?) Handy in Blooming Prairie, Steele County, Minnesota, which lists Kate Killen, 47, born May 1853 in Wisconsin, both parents also born in Wisconsin; her daughers Doris, 8, born April 1892 in Minnesota, father born in Ireland, mother born in Wisconsin, and Georgiana, 18, born November 1881, in Minnesota, father born in Ireland, mother born in Wisconsin; and M.C. Shaw, 35, a boarder, born October 1864 in New York, father born in Scotland, mother born in New York. Kate is listed as married for 27 years (since about 1873) and having given birth to 7 children, 5 of whom were living. Query: Where was her husband? It appears that Kate may have married M.C. Shaw around 1906, because in the 1910 census her last name is Shaw and she had been married for 4 years.6
Doris Killen was at school in 1900.6 She appeared on the census of 1910 in the household of Kate (Elizabeth Katherine?) Handy in Redfield, Spink County, South Dakota, which lists Kate E.

Kate is apparently 4 years into her second married, apparently to M.C. Shaw, her boarder in the 1900 census. She had given birth to 7 children, 5 ofr whom were living. Query: Where is her husband in 1910?7 Doris Killen was a telephone operator in 1910.7

Parsons 28, born in South Dakota, father born in Sweden, mother born in Wisconsin; his wife Doris, 29, born in Minnesota, father born in Ireland, mother born in Wisconsin; and their son Rodney T., 1, born in South Dakota.8

I found your email address as a contact for one Rodney Parsons. My wife's great aunt was named Doris Killen (not Killan) who was married to a Roy Parsons. Her d.o.b. was Oct 03, 1892, her birthplace was LeRoy, MN, and she died Jul 1976 at Clackamas, OR. [Note: That is apparently incorrect.] Her father was Thomas A. Killen, and her mother was Elizabeth Katherine Handy. Her father was a merchant in LeRoy whose business was wiped out in a cyclone in 1894. I have more information on the Handy side that, on the maternal side, goes back to the mid-late 1400's.
I would like to know more about Rodney's wife and children. Please reply to: Ted Leckband at e-mail leckband@gte.net.

His middle name Williams is the maiden name of his mother, Lucy Williams Bartlett.
Elisha Williams Bartlett appeared on the census of 1820 in the household of Capt. Samuel M. Bartlett and Lucy Bartlett in Leverett, Franklin County, Massachusetts, which lists a Samuel Bartlett household with one male age 45 and over (Samuel would have been about 46), one male age 10 to 16 (Marlin II would have been about 14), two males under age 10 (Elisha would have been about 9 and Samuel Mixter would have been about 7), one female age 26 to 45 (Lucy would have been about 42), one female age 10 to 16 (Miranda II would have been about 16 and Maria, if alive, would have been about 12), and two females under age 10 (Louisa I, who was to die in 1821, would have been about 1).4
Elisha Williams Bartlett lived in 1838 in Federal & North Second, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, Elisha Bartlett is listed as a boarder in a house also occupied by Ebenezer Bartlett, a grocer -- perhaps a relative?5 He lived in 1842 in 49 North Fourth Street, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.6 He lived in 1843 in 62 North Third Street, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.7 He lived in 1844 in 69 Federal Street, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.8 He lived between 1846 and 1852 in 8th Street above Hutton, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.9
His wife, Margaret, died on 25 September 1850 in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, at age ~28, leaving him a widower. The "Northern Budget" (the Troy, NY, afternoon newspaper) carried the following obituary for Margaret Corcoran Bartlett on 25 September 1850 (page2, column 4):
"DIED In this city on Wednesday morning, Sept. 25th [1850], of consumption, Mrs. BARTLETT.
Her funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon [26 September 1850], at 3 0'clock, from 28 (?) Eighth Street."

He appeared on the census of 1850 in 7th Ward, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, which lists Elisha Bartlett, 40 and a carpenter, his son Henry, 10, daughter Mary, 7, daughter Louisa, 5, and son James, 2. All are shown as being born in New York, although Elisha was actually born in Massachusetts. Living with the family were Ann Corcoran, 22, and William Corcoran, 20 and a carpenter, both born in Ireland. Ann and William presumably were the late Margaret Corcoran's siblings. Ann may have been caring for her late sister's four young children, and William working as a carpenter with Elisha. Later, Elisha married Palmyra Lewis of Petersburg, New York, by whom he had six more children.

Palmyra was born on 25 February 1825 in Petersburg, Rensselaer County, New York.
Palmyra Lewis married John or Rufus Parks before 1839. She married Elisha Williams Bartlett on between 1851 and 1855. She died on 27 October 1884 in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, at age 59 of liver disease (not kidney disease as stated in the burial record).1 She was buried on 29 October 1884 in New Mount Ida Cemetery, Rensselaer County, New York.2

Palmyra Bartlett and Elisha Williams Bartlett appeared on the census of 1855 in Schodack, Rensselaer County, New York. In the 1855 New York State Census, they were living in Schodack, which is near Troy, NY. The census was dated 25 June 1855. Elisha was a carpenter, age 44, born in Massachusetts, owned land and had a frame house worth $300. (It is annotated "Elisha W. Bartlett in the 1865 census".) The family included Palmira [sic], 29, Mary, 12, Louisa, 10 and James, 8. These are Margaret Corcoran's children. Next is Charles, age 6, and an unnamed male one month old. Little "No name" (perhaps "Lewis") was probably their first child who we assume died as he doesn't appear anywhere again. All of these children were born in Rensselaer County, New York, according to the census.

Palmyra Lewis was a native of Petersburg, Rensselaer County, New York.
Sometime after 1850, she became the second wife of Elisha W. Bartlett, probalby in Rensselaer County, New York . Palmyra Lewis was the sister of Fanny Lewis Hall, who in 1865 became the fourth wife of Levi Bullock in Rock County, Wisconsin.
Elisha and Palmyra (Lewis) Bartlett, with their children, moved from Rensselaer County, New York, to Rock County, Wisconsin, around 1868, perhaps because of her sister Fanny Lewis Hall's 1865 marriage to Levi Bullock, father of Hiram Janes Bullock.
Hiram Janes Bullock's first wife, Lucinda Hall, who he married in 1861, was the daughter of Palmyra Lewis' older sister Fanny Lewis and her first husband, Maxon Hall.
In 1874, Louisa Bartlett, daughter of Elisha W. Bartlett and his first wife Margaret Corcoran (Louisa apparently also moved with the Bartlett family from Rensselaer County, New York, to Rock County, Wisconsin) became the second wife of Hiram Janes Bullock.

Henry Bartlett I appeared on the census of 1850 in the household of Elisha Williams Bartlett in 7th Ward, Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, which lists Elisha Bartlett, 40 and a carpenter, his son Henry, 10, daughter Mary, 7, daughter Louisa, 5, and son James, 2. All are shown as being born in New York, although Elisha was actually born in Massachusetts. Living with the family were Ann Corcoran, 22, and William Corcoran, 20 and a carpenter, both born in Ireland. Ann and William presumably were the late Margaret Corcoran's siblings.

Later, Elisha married Palmyra Lewis of Petersburg, New York, by whom he had six more children.

Biography
Mary was born on January 1842 in Rensselaer County, New York.1 Mary died on between 1905 and 1910,
Note: I went through the 1910 census for Berlin, NY, and Mary Bartlett was not in it. So she probably died between 1900 and 1910. If I get to the town clerks in Petersburgh and/or Berlin, NY, or if I can catch them at work (since they do their TC work at odd hours, including evenings) I shall see if there is a death record for her.
I have checked the cemetery records for Rensselaer County at the Rootsweb site, and Mary Bartlett is not listed.
