From Pioneer History by F.E. Weeks: BETTIS, JOHN and his wife, Mary, French Canadians, a childless couple, lived next west of Ira Hill’s in the little house yet standing. They brought up two or perhaps three children, Levi Charles Kellogg and his sister Minerva, and perhaps a brother, Martin H. Kellogg. In 1860 Charles Kellogg gave to Mr. and Mrs. Bettis a life lease of six acres, where the house stands. Mr. Kellogg uses to carry the mail from Kipton to Deacon Taylor’s house at the Center. [Probably a branch post office.] These old people were much respected and friends used to help them in their old age by supplying them with wood and provisions. Mr. Bettis became so feeble and childish that he was taken to the Infirmary, where he died August 16, 1885, at the extreme age of 107 years. The wife went to live with Minerva, who had married John Williams, and died March 8, 1890, at the age of 103 years. They were both buried in the Camden cemetery.
