Simmons Ohio Historical Society How do specific bridge designs be- come popular? During the nineteenth century, much as today, promotional literature and sales personnel were important influences in encouraging contractors and public officials to use a specific design or product. The Chambers Road Covered Bridge, Del- aware County's only remaining wood- en truss, owes its design to neither and may, in fact, be unique for its role in the history of Ohio bridge con- struction. The builder of the Chambers Road bridge was Everett S. Sherman, who was born in 1831 to a bridge-building family in Delaware County. The two- story frame house built for his father, David T. Sherman, still stands in the tiny community of Berkshire, where recent renovations uncovered the massive framing -enormous even by nineteenth-century standards-of a rear wing built in the mid 1850's. Like modern contractors, the Shermans had incorporated leftover bridge ma- terials into their new residential addi- tion. The first known work to have been done by Everett Sherman alone was the erection of a bridge at Sunbury in 1867. The Howe truss system, whose heavy wooden diago- nals and vertical iron rods were a familiar sight on American railroads in the middle of the century, was used by Sherman in the 1870's. After mov- ing to a farm on the outskirts of Galena in the early 1870's, he re- ceived a patent for a simple bridge intended for small stream crossings on rural highways, It incorporated wooden beams and iron rods, a struc- tural type known at the time as "a combination bridge." [photo: Delaware County's last covered bridge, the Chambers Road Cov- ered Bridge, was built in 1883 and named for the nearby Chambers family homestead seen here in the right rear.] The Chambers Road Covered Bridge combines wood and iron in a system patented in 1846 by Horace Childs, a prominent New Hampshire railroad bridge builder. A Childs truss had diagonal wooden braces in com- pression that were crossed by diago- nal iron rods, or "counterbraces." Nuts on these rods held the braces against the top and bottom chords- a vital maintenance consideration with wooden structures susceptible to shrinkage - and could also be tight- ened to add camber to the structure. [photo: Based on a rare patent devised in 1846 by a new England railroad bridge builder, the Chambers Road bridge has wooden diagonal members in compression which are crossed by iron rod tension members.] [photo: Delaware County forces, under the direction of County engineer Fred Stults, renovated the bridge in time for its one-hundredth birthday. New concrete abutments and a concrete pier were in- stalled to support a group of concealed steel I-beams that actually carry the loads across Big Walnut Creek. New siding and roof were were also added to protect the old historic trusses.] Historians have long puzzled over Sherman's use of the Childs truss in the late nineteenth century when it was already an antiquated structural system that apparently never saw much use even by its own New En- gland designer. Assumptions were made, now known to have been wrong, that Sherman,like Childs, was a native of New Hampshire and must have learned of this obscure truss from the older builder himself. The real reason, I believe, is much simpler: Sherman had read about it. In October 1882, a Washington, D.C. patent attorney began a series of illus- trated articles in Engineering News on truss bridge patents whose period of protection had elapsed, and which Title A name given to the resource Unique Covered Bridge in Delaware County (p. 1) Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ohio County Engineers News http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0bb1382d83502745c5e2054fd03ddcfd.jpg a4e3eaeede720b9330d74a397aaed417 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The twenty-nine part series began with Theodore Burr's 1817 patent and ended with a suspension truss dating to 1866 whose patent expired in De- cember 1883. The December 16, 1882, installment included a descrip- tion and drawing of the "Childs Bridge." Sherman, already conversant in the use of wooden and iron con- struction, apparently read the article and resolved to try the system with his next bridge contract. The Chambers Road Covered Bridge, using an ex- pired patent for which no royalties were owed, was built by Sherman the following year. Sherman did more than simply re- vive a defunct bridge truss; he im- proved it. In 1886 he moved to Eaton at the invitation of the Preble County Engineer, who was also a native of Delaware County, to assist in rebuild- ing the bridges recently destroyed in a "cyclone." The Childs design came from the empirical age of craftsman who built without the benefit of scien- tific truss analysis, and the original specifications called for braces of uni- form size. Sherman's Preble County bridges (only six of his original fifteen remain) were built with diagonal com- pression members, the dimensions of which increased toward the ends of the truss to accommodate the greater load carried by each-evidence of Sherman's efforts to mathematically proportion the components of his bridges. No other Childs trusses are known to have been built anywhere in the nation except for Sherman's Ohio bridges. The Chambers Road Cov- ered Bridge, representing Sherman's initial use of the Childs truss and closely following the original design features, is thus an important trend- setter in Ohio and national engineer- ing history. The author would like to acknowledge his debt to the research on Sherman done by Miriam Wood, historian of the Southern Ohio Covered Bridge Association.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page iii of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] PREFACE "There's a quiet movement taking place right now that deserves to become a permanent tradition in this country: the purposeful creation of personal histories that preserve our lives as we grow older, making the details of our time on earth available to our descendants forever. Whether written, spoken into a tape recorder, or recounted to the lens of a video camera, your stories will be eagerly awaited by the most appreciative audience of all-your family. And far into the future, your family will read your words or listen to your voice and be grateful you took the time to put this gift toegether for them." Taken from the back cover of Bob Greene's To Our Children's Children. This book came very close to having never been written. Due to failing eye sight, old age, and a belief that (according to my personal credo), I could not write about myself. My long time friend, Polly Horn, who is very competent on the mysterious computer, said she would put my answers to her questions on the computer. So here you have many flashbacks to the life styles of two families, genealogy and all. It was great luck to be born with parents who loved each other, my brother and me. It was great luck to meet Carleton Burrer at a dance in New York and end up in Sunbury, Ohio, where I have been part of a loving family, had a meaningful career, and a full life. Although this book was begun after Carleton's death, many parts of it are taken directly from words he had written at different times in his life. Polly and I fondly call him our ghost writer and we are happy to be getting many of his writings together into one book. Since we are each a mix of genes of all the ancestors before us, perhaps each of you-my son, my grandchildren and their heirs will learn a little more about yourself from reading these flashbacks.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 2 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Sunbury's Burrer family has been traced back to Hans Burrer born 1530 of Cleebronn (spelled Kleebron in the old church records) in Germany. The name passed through the sons as follows: Hans (1530) to Christoph (1590) to Christoph (1628-1684) to Hans Jakob (1622-1715) to Johann Jakob (1701-1751) married to Sabrina Cathrina Wehrer, to Christoph Friedrich (January 5, 1744-May 26, 1772). Christoph Friedrich Burrer II Christoph Friedrich who married Elizabetha Margaretha Fischer November 17, 1767 in Cleebronn, had at least 2 sons Gottlieb Johannes (1768-1827) and Christoph Friedrich II (December 20, 1770-October 30, 1829). Gottlieb married Susanna Barbara Eberlen October 30, 1792 in Botenheim, Germany and they had 10 children: some were to stay in Germany while other descendents immigrated to the America. Christoph Friedrich II was born in Cleebron, Germany, December 20, 1770, and married Margaretha Walderich (born March 24, 1772) July 17, 1792 and became a farmer. To this union 9 children were born but only two of the babies lived to be confirmed: Johanna Gottliebin (May 7, 1797) and Christoph Friedrich III (April 24, 1802-April 4, 1884) who later settled in Elyria, Ohio. Their mother died apparently in childbirth December 2, 1809. Nine months later on September 30, 1810, Christoph II maried Maria Sara Rosch (born July 18, 1788) in Hohenstein and they had eleven children. It appears that only four babies lived to be confirmed: Friederike (1811-1832), Johann Jacob (July 16, 1820-April 19, 1874), Johann Christian (October 14,1821-), and Johann Gottlieb (June 15, 1825-August 21, 1890). All three boys married and immigrated to USA. It is Johann Jacob who brought his family to Sunbury, Ohio. Johan Jacob Burrer Johann Jacob was born July 16, 1820, in Hohenstein, Germany, the 17th child of Christoph II and the 8th child of Maria Sara. On February 6, 1844 he married Barbara Catherine Bollinger of Hofen near Besigheim. Barbara Catherine was the daughter of Gottleib Heinrich Bollinger,an Alderman and Town Councilman in Hofen, and his wife, Christina Barbara Kontz, Bollinger. Barbara Catherine told her children her grandfather Bollinger fought in wars against Napoleon. At least four of her siblings also came to the USA. Johann Jacob was a Burger (citizen) and Maurer Meister (master stone mason) in Wurtenburg, Germany. He and Barbara Catherine had five children in Germany: Louisa Catherine (7-23-1846), Gottleib Jacob (1-3-1848), Caroline Catherine (2-5-1849), Catherine Christine (2-5-1851) and Fredericke (2-17-1852). In July 1854, dropping the last 'n' in his name, Johan Jacob, his wife, and five children left Germany in a sailing ship which arrived six weeks later in New York. The family went by wagon to Medina County, Ohio, where his half-brother, Christoph Friedrich, had already settled. They stayed with Johan Jacob's brother for six months until a family fight resulted in Johan Jacob's moving his family to Spring Street in Delaware,Ohio. Shortly after their arrival in Delaware, John Edward was born (3-9-1855) having been carried by his mother during all the rigors of the trip from Germany. Apparently Johan Jacob's search for fine stone brought him to Sunbury Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 9) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/a4788e5fd56d9a387fe0b6d99ea32bc5.jpg fa045ef2662aff775bb02ebf770e498b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 3 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] where he purchased a log cabin on in-lot #19 (44 West Cherry Street) from Andrew and Julia Heron on January 28, 1857 (Vol 59, page 224 Delaware County Deed Records). The cabin was shingled on the outside and plastered on the inside and became the family home until the death of Barbara Catherine in 1901. In this home the last three children were born: Nannie E.(9/20/1857-2/4/1931), Heinrich (1859), and Frank (1863). The home was last purchased by the Village of Sunbury in 1995. In August 1857, Johan Jacob purchased a plot of land along the Big Walnut Creek from John Knox as a 'Stone Purchase' where he and his eldest son later became partners with Henry Fleckner in the operation of the quarry. Johan Jacob's oldest daughter, Louise Catherine, married Fleckner and they lived in the house now standing at 10 Walnut Street at the east end of Cherry Street. (They had two children: Charles R. (1867-1867) and Julia (1874-1881). In 1867 Burrer bought an empty lot at 35 South Columbus Street just north of the Myers Inn, then a hotel. On this lot he built a tavern, small store and bakery. Under the building was a small sub-basement which was used for natural refrigeration. People attending the periodic stock sales on the southwest corner of the village square stopped here for refreshments and a light lunch. When the building was torn down by Lawsons' in 1985, stone from the building was given to Community Library, owner of the Myers' Inn. The stone was transferred to the Big Walnut Area Historical Society with the building in 1994. Business in the tavern, store, bakery must have prospered for the family along with Johan Jacob's work as a stone mason. He passed his knowledge of the trade along to his eldest son, Gottlieb Jacob. Bailey Mill To be true to history, one must leave our story and discuss another mill. Carleton has written the first mill in Sunbury was constructed southeast of town on Granville Road just south of Big Walnut Creek near the juncture with Rattlesnake Creek by Nicholas Manville in 1810. The ownership of this mill passed to Major Strong in 1817, and then to Eleazor Gaylord in 1825 thus became known as the Gaylord Mill. It never reported to mill white flour. Since this mill did not operate as long, the Burrer Mill has the distinction of being the longest operating mill. Back to our story. In 1871, Burrer and his son, Gottleib Jacob (then 23 years of age), purchased from Henry and Sarah Boyd, the old 'Bailey'water-powered mill which had been built in 1842 by Samuel Peck and T.P. Myers to operate as a sawmill. Mr. Bailey bought the mill in 1848 and added machinery for making flour and grinding 'grists'(small batches of grain) by means of stone 'Buhrs'. This mill was located in the bottom land along Big Walnut Creek behind Fleckner's barn. The creek had been diverted further up stream to flow into a pond and there was a 'right-of-way' included for a tail-race through John Knox's land to carry run-off [photo: Gottleib Jacob Burrer] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 10) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/6283c5a7d66e475701d2538cb329e660.jpg e5b9be2395497f04da20aedba051746f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This mill property containing a little over 26 acres of land (in addition to the right-of-way) was purchased for $3500. Mr. Boyd had previously purchased the Van Sickle Mill, the first in Trenton Township from his brother, Jacob Boyd, and had moved its machinery into the 'Bailey' Mill. The Van Sickle Mill had been built in 1845 with a 'brush' dam across the Big Walnut about one half mile northeast of Sunbury. The 'brush' dam was replaced with planks. John Van Sickle sold the mill to E.M. Condit who operated it from 1855 to 1862 and then sold it to Jacob Boyd. F.B. Sprague, a Justice of the Peace who certified the Burrer-Boyd purchase agreement on June 16, 1871, had expertise in the milling business and bought in as a partner with the Burrer father and son. F.B. Sprague This partner in the early mill was born in Delaware July 16, 1825 to Pardon and Mary Meeker Sprague. Pardon was born in the east and migrated through Zanesville and Granville in 1816. Mary was the daughter of Forest Meeker (born in Pennsylvania) who came to Stratford, Ohio, in 1811. Pardon was Sheriff for two terms before entering the State Legislature. He died in 1828 at 40 years of age. F.B. moved his family which included C.P. to Sunbury in 1868. C.P. worked with Kimball & Armstrong in their store, then with Wayman Perfect for a year before studying telegraphy with his brother who kept the Railway Office in Sunbury. On March 18, 1877, he married Ada M. Payne (daughter of N.H. Payne of Sunbury) and August 1, 1877 he became Station Agent. Meanwhile F.B. Sprague became Probate Judge in 1875 after being Justice of the Peace. He soon lost interest in the milling business. It was not long before it became obvious the creek flow was not strong enough six months of the year to carry the business of the mill so land was purchased at the northeast corner of North and North Columbus Streets where a steam powered mill would be built. The outlines of the old mill race and some building foundations can still be seen in the spring of the year before the underbrush obscures the area. Carleton Burrer has done much to document the details of the mill. Johan Jacob died on April 18, 1874, at the age of 53 and did not see the mill moved from the creek site. At the time of his death two more daughters were married: Caroline Catherine had married [photo: Gottlieb Jacob Burrer] [photo: Christine Burrer Rice] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 11) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/c9f374b6d9b7ce86368f1bebdb9728fa.jpg a51f26e4ffd78145b0cbd8a7afb14257 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 5 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families ] Daniel Miller of Delaware, and Catherine Christine married Charles H. Rice. His son Heinrich died the month before his father at the age of 14. Johan Jacob was also survived by his widow (now 54), Gottlieb Jacob (26), John E. (20), Nannie (18), and Frank (12). Gottlieb Jacob administered his father's estate and rearranged ownership of the properties to continue operation of the tavern (now a bakery and a store) and the mill. Mill Moved into Town East of the site chosen for the new mill at the corner of North Vernon and North Streets, Samuel Shiver Gammill was operating a saw mill and Hoop Factory using steam power. Mr. Gammill, who was also an excellent builder, agreed to build the new mill. Foundations were laid for a frame structure for the mill and one of stone for the boiler and engine room. The new mill was to use the excess end-products (slabs and saw-dust) to fire the new boiler. Accordingly, an exceptionally large and tall smoke stack was erected to permit burning of this fuel with safety in the quantities needed. Pictures of the old mill can be seen at 46 N. Columbus Street. [photo: Burrer Mill-from North Street. Man on left in big door is Jakie Burrer. Second man from right in same door is Parker Burrer.] In 1875 the machinery and equipment from the old mill were moved into town and a steam engine was purchased in Mount Vernon to supply power. This piece of equipment took advantage of the newest and the oldest forms of transportation in the community. Due to the incompletion of the new railroad trestle across Big Walnut, the engine came by railroad to the Big Walnut Creek where it had to be unloaded at one of the quarries and brought across the creek and into town by ox-drawn wagon to the new mill.

(Mrs. Henry) Fleckner, the Boyd (Bailey) Mill property since it was no longer needed for the mill. In the new mill, grain was ground between rotating grooved stones or 'buhrs' driven by steam power. Buhrs cut from local stone were too soft to retain sharpening. The best material for making these buhrs was then obtainable only in France and had to be cut in segments to facilitate handling in shipment. In 1996, one of these made of cut and fitted granite, held together by a wide band of thick steel was being preserved on the patio south of the Burrer residence at 46 N. Columbus Street. The mate of the stone was in the custody of R.F.Sherfy. Gottlieb Jacob Burrer and Amy Ann Gammill Marry On May 26, 1875 Jakie and Amy Ann Gammill (whose genealogy is included in the appendix to this volume) married in her parents' home. Amy was born in Porter Township in 1858 and spent her life in this community. Her father Samuel Shriver Gammill built a house for them across from the mill on the south side of North Street designated as 46 North Columbus Street which has remained in the Burrer family. At the time the streets were not paved and there was an open ditch between the mill and the house. When the streets were paved a large tile covered with fill ran through this ditch to Prairie Run. The Sunbury Mill flourished in its new location. Farmers from miles around brought their grain by wagon or horseback and sometimes had to wait hours for their "turn." In 1886 the stone buhrs were replaced by steel roller mills. Soon thereafter "White Loaf Flour" and other milling products were being manufactured and shipped out of the area to various markets. Jakie's Brothers and Sisters After the death of their father and Sprague's becoming judge, the Burrer Brothers operated the mill-Jakie, John E. and 12-year-old Frank. As Jakie began to raise his own family, his brothers began to pursue other interests. John E. Burrer was more active in the bakery and the store. In 1893 at the age of 38, he married Margaret, daughter of Remolus Hyatt.

It too has been sided and plastered so no one knew it was a cabin. John E. and Margaret moved into rooms over the bakery and had three children: Esther (5-28-1894), Arthur Merton (8-1-1896) and Frank (6-28-1898). Parker Burrer often told the story of going to John's bakery and coming home with 6 large loaves of bread for only twenty-five cents. In 1899 this building and lot were sold to Mr. J. W. Barker who continued to operate the business there until he sold it in 1906 to Mr. C.A. Root who came from Pickaway County. Robert Gelston came to town and operated the business from 1913 to 1919 and lived in the building. In 1900 John E. purchased a flour and grist mill in Centerburg and moved his family there. Two more children were born: George Hyatt (May 10-1902) and Ralph Henry (10-12-1909). Business was good for the family in Centerburg. John E. became a councilman and prominent businessman. However the mill dust began to take its toll on him so in 1910 he sold the mill to his brother, Jakie, and moved to Delaware, Ohio, where he purchased a bakery on the north side of Winter Street on the corner of the first alley west of Bun's Restaurant and Bakery. They bought a home on West William Street. Unfortunately, the bakery in Delaware did not prove to be profitable and John E. became an engineer in a mill in Prospect, Ohio. His health again made him leave the mill profession, so he opened a delicatessen in Delaware which also failed to succeed. He moved his family to Westerville and set his youngest son, Ralph, up in the shoe business. At the age of 77, he passed away on December 24, 1932, and is buried in Sunbury Cemetery. His son, Ralph Henry, moved his shoe store to Delaware where it was very successful. He raised a family of four children (another died at birth) and passed away at age 66 in 1975. John's eldest child, Esther, retired from a lifetime as a school librarian, lived in Delaware. She told Carleton Burrer the family had a total of 75 cents to get started when they moved to Centerburg so many years before. Fredericka Burrer married Charles Crawford. They had no children. Nannie E. Burrer married Thomas R. Payne, son of Harrison and Adaline (Goodrich) Payne on June 21, 1879. Thomas was a hardware merchant in Sunbury. (See the Appendix of this book for more about this family.) Frank Burrer never married but continued to live with his mother and help with the operations in the mill. However, when his mother died August 29, 1901, he moved to Westerville, built a mill there and operated it until his death in December 27, 1942.

Jakie and Amy's Family Five boys were born to Gottlieb Jacob and Amy Burrer: Sprague Gammill (3-7-1876), Karl Ormand (8-22-1879), Paul Parker (June 6, 1886), Rudolph Odell (2-15-1888) and Gordon Jacob Burrer (2-2-1894). "At least no two were in diapers at the same time." commented Dilly. Sprague Gammill Burrer Sprague, the first born was named after the partner and then Probate Judge, F. B. Sprague. He was killed while playing in the mill. The following has been preserved in the Townley-Ports Scrapbook in the historical files at the Community Library. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT Caught on a Revolving Shaft and Thrashed to Death. Last Friday morning about 1 o'clock the terrible news flashed from mouth to mouth that Sprague Burrer, the 10 year old son of G.J. Burrer had been killed by machinery in his father's mill. We immediately went to the house and there in the mangled form of that child beheld the most horrible and sickening sight it has ever been out lot to witness. It seems that he with his brother, still younger, and two of S.S. Gammill's little boys were playing in the basement of the mill; and had put a string around the end of a shaft to see it wind up. When trying to get the string off, the shaft caught in his loose waist and wound it up in such a manner as to bring the shaft under his left arm, and there he whirled at the rate from 150 to 200 revolutions per minute, his feet striking four times every revolution, first against a sill overhead, then an upright beam, then the floor, and last against the corner of a rack suspended from the ceiling, breaking and tearing them off almost piece by piece and throwing a circle of blood and pieces of flesh on everything near. His father and uncle, John Burrer, were in the mill just above and hearing him striking against the floor thought some of the machinery had broken and both hurried down to see what it was, and not until they saw him in that horrible position did the awful truth dawn upon their minds with almost a paralyzing shock. The father rushed back to throw the belt from the pulley, and the other to the engine to stop it, then back again just as he [photo: Sprague Burrer] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 16) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/b1879ece4fa2adca860416a79398b636.jpg 3fbbc67e81c8f561a8cf8ef9f6f77b42 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He tried to pull him off the shaft but could not until he turned him back three or four times to unwind his clothing. As he was being carried across the road he put his arms around his uncle and spoke for the first time sayin, "Oh, Uncle John!" and from that time on till he died, about five hours later he knew all that was being done. Drs. WIlliams and Mosher were immediately summoned and did everything in their power to relieve his suffering. On examination they found that both feet were torn off at the ankles, and were just hanging by a little flesh, the ribs on the left side were crushed in and some of them broken in several pieces. Stimulants were constantly given him but he did not rally and continued to grow weaker until about half past two o'clock when his spirit left the body and returned to God who gave it. All the assistance that could be rendered by sympathizing friends was kindly given the bereaved parents. The funeral was held at half past two o'clock at the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Jas. Matlock officiating. The church was crowded with the many friends who had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect, and almost as many remained outside the church." This incident must have truly scared Amy but she continued to allow the other boys to spend time in and around the mill throughout their childhood and teen years. Knowing the perils of childhood around such a mass of unprotected drive belts, pulleys, sprockets, gears, clutches, engines fly-wheels, rotating, shaking and reciprocating machinery, it is indeed a miracle that all of the other boys were not injured. Community Activities Early in their married life, G.J. and Amy became interested in the Baptist Church and took an active part in it. Their names appear in the church records for the building of a parsonage (still used in 1996) and again in the replacement of the old church building with the new brick structure in 1907. Indeed, one young man from the community received enough encouragement from them to continue his studies for the ministry and became prominent in the field. G.J. and Amy saw to it that all their boys attended Sunday School and Church regularly. Although Amy wasn't a great cook, her husband would send the farmers waiting for their grain to the house for a bite. Amy probably fed them pancakes from the mill's own pancake flour.

When she was busy calling on the new folks in town with her friend, Pearle Whitney, she cooked beans. Like many people from her generation, Amy was very frugal. Her philosophy was to waste nothing. Most people who burned coal had it delivered to the house where it slid down a coal chute, through a basement window, into the coal cellar. If Amy was out walking after the coal deliveries and saw coal lying on the ground, she would pick it up, put it in her purse, and add it to her household supply when she got home. Louise Sheets used to come spend a week with her Aunt Amy each summer. Since Amy only had boys, she treated Louise like royalty. Each visit they went shopping and Louise got a store-bought dress, a real treat since her mother made her clothes. Later Louise Sheetes owned her own clothing store, The Litte Shoppe, facing the east side of Sunbury Square. Jakie did not approve of Amy's two fun loving brothers, who managed to get into trouble. One time one brother, who had a wooden leg, drove his buggy into some wires after drinking and had to have his leg replaced. Someone stole something from the other brother and he found out who did it. He took matters into his own hands and went to the party's house where he broke in and stole his things back. Unfortunately, he got caught and had to serve a sentence. Jakie decided the uncles were a bad influence on his boys and refused to allow them to be associated with his brothers-in-law.

Burrer in 1909] Electricity Comes to Sunbury Carleton Burrer wrote the following account for Sunbury's Sesquicentennial book of the coming of electricity to Sunbury. Soon after 1900, electricity was becoming popular and useful in cities and the Burrer boys (Karl, Parker, Rudolph and Gordon and their father Jakie) recognized the advantages and convenience this new energy could provide if made available in the village. Steam pressure built up in the boilers to operate the mill during the day, could not be utilized and therefor wasted after the mill shut down in the evening. Realizing that this power was already available, they purchased and installed a belt driven 'Dynamo' Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 18) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/2e8dc92c0d2a3ae1c284efeecbcd2b4a.jpg 00753e52ac5265913915e336962a8c5e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A few lights were strung around the engine room and in the mill. Wires were run to the house and across the street to the Methodist Church (then located across North Columbus Street from the mill) which was one of the first customers. Then as fast as the boys could recruit 'knowledgeable' help, lines were extended to other nearby buildings and houses. Wires were extended along the streets and across back lots as more and more citizens determined that electricity was practical and 'here to stay' and therefore they should have it. "The Blakely-Williams Store at the corner of Vernon and Cherry Streets was the first mercantile building to have the new lights. Mrs. Kimball, the banker's wife, already having the finest gas light fixtures then available had the electricity installed just to run her water pump. In the beginning and for sometime thereafter, service was provided from dusk until midnight, and if something went wrong, there would be no electricity at all." Dilly told how Jakie determined when it was time to turn off the electricity. Each night he would take a page from an old Bible which was coming unbound and head to the mill. When he finished reading the page, Jakie would turn off the electricity for the town. One night, Joe Landon had a hot appendix which needed to be removed. The electricity had already been cut off for the night when the doctor knocked on Jakie's door and asked to have it turned on so he could operate. Jakie fired the mill and the entire town was bathed in light while the doctor operated on Joe on the Landon's kitchen table at 52 Otis Street. Joe gave Jakie the credit for saving his life. "Soon the first street lights were installed, one on each corner of the square and one at the mill. These were of the carbon-arc type and produce a very brilliant, although flickering light. Gas street lights were previously used and Charlie Gaylord, who lived just south of the Baptist Church, had the job to light them each night. He had a long pole with a taper and a key on the end to open the valve and ignite the gas. Turning them off required another trip around the square for Charlie. "It wasn't long before the need for longer hours of elecrtic service and enlargement of the generating facilities became necessary. The wood fueled boilers were no longer capable of supplying the demand. To correct the situation, provide for future increases and more flexible operation, the steam power was abandoned and two stationery, internal combustion engines were installed. They were natural-gas fueled and water-cooled. One was a 2-cylinder with 25-horsepower and the other 3-cylinder with 35 hp. Both were manufactured by Reeves and were joined together with [photo: G.J.

One of the first 'two-phased' generators to be used in this area was secured and installed by the Erner & Hopkins Electric Company of Columbus. The installation was supervised by M.A. (Milt) Pixley of Ohio State football fame, this being his first such undertaking as an Electrical Engineer. [photo: Employees of the Mill outside the south door: Charles Draper, Marion Parks Jesse Doane and K.O.Burrer] "The engine room was enlarged and covered with a poured-concrete and steel roof. Arches to support the roof were made from structural members obtained from a steel bridge then being replaced along the Croton Road (Hartford Road). "Large pressure tanks were installed for the storage of compressed air, necessary for use in starting the engines. A concrete 'pool' or open tank, was constructed in the outside area at the rear of the buildings and the necessary piping installed to circulate water for cooling the engines. "This new system was very satisfactory for a few years until the electrical 'load' again called for more capacity. A 6-hp, 2-cylinder Westinghouse engine and an additional belt-driven generator were installed and the earlier equipment was retained for stand-by and peak load assistance.... "The final modernization of the electric plant at the mill was accomplished with the installation of a still larger generator and exciter. This was direct-connected to a 90hp Anderson Oil Engine and its output fed into a new and larger switchboard. This engine was of a new and improved type, utilizing the "Diesel' method of fuel injection and combustion. No spark plugs or ignition system was needed, but to start the engine one had to use a blow-torch to heat special firing pins red hot, before applying the compressed air to 'turn it over.'

It would then be necessary to reheat the plugs and start over again. Once started, however, the plugs would stay hot and although the engine had only two cylinders, the flywheels were very large and heavy thus enabling it to provide exceptionally smooth and efficient power with no noticeable flickering of lights. With the old system it was a common occurrence for the lights to dim down and frequently go completely out. Whenever that happened one would hear the expression - "Jakie's belt's slippin." It was rumored that 'certain small boys' of the day, found ways to make a belt 'fly-off' at the most inopportune times. This not only caused Jakie considerable consternation and exasperation but was a great inconvenience to the citizenry to have to sit in the dark during some community gathering while he or one of the boys put the belt back on the pulleys and got things going again. The patrons and operator of the early movie theatre would be especially unhappy about it. One can imagine how unreliable electric clocks would have been had they been available." "Just prior to the early 1920's, demand for electrical energy began to develop in the rural areas and small, individual light plants were becoming popular. The names "Delco-Light" and Lalley-Light" appeared in the farm journals and electrical 'trade' papers. Recognizing an opportunity to expand in an allied business, the mill operators formed the Ohio Lalley Light Co., and established sales offices on North Sandusky Street in Delaware and on the North High Street viaduct in Columbus. Their franchise encompassed the central Ohio area and installations were made and services provided as far away as Marysville and Bellefountaine. The 'plants' and batteries were purchased in carload lots and business flourished for a few years. ... "Electrical equipment manufacturers developed 32 volt, direct-current appliances and motors for use on these systems and such items as fans, vacuum sweepers, toasters and irons as well as water pumps and washing machines became available. Due to the fact that very heavy wires were required to 'carry' the current for more than very short distances, it was impractical to attempt to use more than just a few lights in outlying buildings. "The small light plants and the batteries themselves were also incapable of supplying current for very heavy loads, except for short periods of time. The lady-of-the house, therefore had to be sure that on ironing day, too much current would not be needed for other purposes and that the storage batteries were in good condition and well charged. "Westinghouse and Delco (and perhaps others) later produced instant- start systems which generated 110 volts. Whenever a light was turned on or a motor connected, the generator would start and keep running until current was no longer needed. This seemed like a good idea but was short lived because at about the time of the introduction of these systems, power companies were beginning to offer contracts for service and to extend their lines into the more thickly populated rural areas where Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 21) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/6c9de91732ede11063b08643ab5242cb.jpg 78b8be0dac6f0a453704f22a9c108fa2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to page 15 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] farmsteads were close enough together to justify the cost of the extensions. Connections to these lines could be purchased on the basis of a construction cost of about $2400.00 per mile of line. This cost was divided by the number of customers per mile. Of course, those most anxious to get the service usually divided up the cost per mile and authorized construction, by passing those along the way who could not or would not share the cost. Contracts were usually drawn, however, so that after a specified time, additional connections could be purchased at a reduced rate and after an additional length of time, taps could be obtained free. Even though initial contracts were expensive, the former light plant owners were glad to subscribe because their existing wiring could be used with, usually, no revision and inconvenience and cost of maintaining the private system was forever eliminated. "Expansion of these power companies quickly eliminated the market for its products and services and The Ohio Lalley Light Co., was forced to liquidate its stock of plants, parts and equipment. "In 1925-6, the Suburban Power Company with headquarters in Utica, Ohio, offered to purchase the generating equipment at the mill and the distribution and metering facilities from the mill owners and made arrangements to secure current for resale from the Columbus Railway Power and Light Co., whose recently constructed transmission line crossed the Granville Road near the Big Walnut Creek. Their line was then serving Westerville, Centerburg and Croton. The generating equipment and two of the engines at the mill, being no longer needed, were then dismantled and sold for use in other areas, leaving only the two Reeves gas engines to operate the mill. The Suburban Company then opened an operating headquarters and an appliance store in the glazed tile business building, later designated as 17 E. Granville Street (and torn down in 1982 for the parking lot at the Municipal Building). Sales people, line construction engineers, and construction men operating from there extended the distribution system very rapidly and appliance sales were promoted." "Carleton recalled the first electric ironer (a Thor) was purchased by Phoebe (Mrs. Henry S.) Cook. She was then operating a rooming house at her residence on the west side of the square and wanted to iron her linen. In that same year, Rudolph Burrer purchased the first household refrigerator, a Kelvinator with a wood-frame cabinet. The installation was made for his mother at their home on North Columbus Street. At that time it was considered advisable to install motor and compressor in the basement to avoid the operating noise and improve efficiency. An engineer came over from Utica to do the work. The refrigerant used was sulphur dioxide and any gas leak which developed would evacuate the household in short order." Let's leave Carleton's account of Sunbury's electrical progress and see how this impacted the family. With the Burrer family on the cutting edge of the new technologies, they were able to bring a new way of life to the community. Individual members of the family were looked upon to serve on various civic and educational committees.

Mr. Burrer was born in Wittenberg, Germany in August 1848 and came to this country with his parents, when five years old. Located at Sunbury in 1872, he entered the milling business and has been a very successful miller, giving all his personal attention to this work, retiring only a few years ago. Their sons, K. O. Burrer and P. P. Burrer continuing in the business so well established by their father. R. O. Burrer, assistant cashier of Farmer's Bank of Sunbury, Gordon J, Burrer of Huntington, W. Va., of two grandsons, Carleton Sperry Burrer and Gerald Jacob Burrer, one grand daughter, Barbara Burrer, are the members of the immediate family. Mr. and Mrs. Burrer and their entire family are members of the Sunbury Baptist Church and the Masonic organizations of the city. Yellow candles and draperies decorated the dining room, the same color scheme being carried out in the refreshments, most appropriate for the Golden anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Davis sang two numbers that were greatly appreciated. Several beautiful and useful remembrances were presented the host and hostess, which will bring back memories of a happy occasion for many years to come. Mr. and Mrs. J. Rowe, Mrs. A. R.

Amy and Gottlieb Jacob celebrated fifty years of marriage on the 26th of May, 1925. He was to die before the next anniversary. Jakie Burrer Dies In 1926, Jakie was attacked with influenza which was followed by sleeping sickness which resulted in a peaceful sleep from which there was not awakening. Jakie's obituary in The Sunbury News of February 18, 1926, says "he was a man who attended strictly to his own business thus building a large acquaintanceship, and a wide circle of friends." He is "leaving the business which daily manufactured a product which shall stand as a monument to the life of a Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 24) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/138ed4c77d8646fafa245e1dfb46c42f.jpg d57e44fe250d9cf8373ff5827168814a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Aside from his business and the church, G.J. always found time to lend assistance to the welfare of the town. He served as village councilman, was elected to the Board of Education several times, and took an active role on all proposed movements to make the town a better place for its inhabitants. At his death, G. J. was one of the oldest members of Sparrow Lodge No. 400 F. & A. M., a member of the Masonic Veterans Association, and Charter member of Columbis Chapter No. 33, O.E.S. He was director and vice-president of the Farmers Bank of Sunbury at the time of his death. He left a void in the family which had relied on him for guidance and looked up to him as a role model. Grandson Carleton never forgot the suit Jakie bought for him. Electric Story Continues Before we look at each of the sons, let's continue on with Carleton's electric story. "Rudolph and Gordon and left the mill by the time their father died leaving the business in the hands of Karl and Parker." Many older residents told Carleton of the humming of the machinery and the chugging of the gas engines exhausted into the tall smokestack. They recalled the operations continuing, night and day, for weeks on end, during World War I when flour and other food products were urgently needed for the war effort." Early in world War I, during the Belgian Relief Program under the direction of Herbert Hoover, much White Loaf Flour was sent by G. J. Burrer & Sons to Europe in sturdy linen bags." The story goes that in Belgium many were jobless, including the embroidery workers who had no orders and no material on which to work. The Gugenheim warehouse in Charleroi was full of embroidery thread. Alice Aron Gugenmeim (1872- 1955) conceived the idea of using the flour sacks. There was no bleach available to remove the printing so the needle-factory workers, school-girls, and even ladies of high social rank covered it with exquisite stitchery. These sacks were then used to cover lampshades, waste baskets, tea- cozies, make school smocks, pillow covers, et., The items were sold in a shop on a prominent street in Brussels [photo: Flour Sack with Embroidery] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 25) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0c01625bd1ed41e4b6283f1bead5da0a.jpg 8ca776fecf8b963ad42eacd4e3708c33 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Carleton tells that, "In appreciation, some of the Belgium women and children embroidered, and therefore colorfully decorated five hundred of these bags from various manufacturers and sent them to Mr. Hoover. A number of them, including one of the most colorful ones from the old mill in Sunbury, are on permanent display at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace (The Hoover Peace Tower), Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. Some of the sacks are also at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, West Branch, Iowa. Later Charlotte Burrer in Cincinnatti made a replica for the Burrer family of the flour sack which is now in the Community Library archives. Thus a small town industry took part in an important world humanitarian undertaking. [image: A needle used to sew the flour sacks at the mill. It is shown actual size.] "During the depression, 1929 through the early 1930's, a local Farmers' Co-Operative organization was formed and the Condit (which burned in January 1996), and Sunbury Elevators were constructed and operated by them. After a short time it was determined that the interests of the community could best be served by combining the various facilities operating in the area. A stock company, The G.J. Burrer Mill & Elevator Co., was formed. "In addition to the two new elevators, the Sunbury and Centerburg mills and the property in Mt. Liberty were acquired and operated Farmers' Co-Operative. Headquarters were set up in office space newly prepared at the Sunbury elevator and the mill office closed except as needed for a branch operation.

Farmers no longer brought their grists to be ground or traded for flour and meal, but shipped their grain to Chicago, Toledo and other large midwestern markets for cash and then purchased specialized cooking and baking needs at the stores. Commercially baked bread and biscuits, for which White Loaf and Tip-Top Flour became locally famous as ingredients, disappeared from the scene. "Electric motors replaced natural-gas engines. These motors could be started and stopped more conveniently and required practically no maintenance. A motor driven commercial feed grinder was installed, together with mixing machinery and equipment and an addition built on the mill to house it. Formulas were developed, mixing ingredients procured and a line of commercially prepared feeds was manufactures and sold under the trade name of 'Burco.' Small mixing and automatic packaging was installed and a new product called Red-A-Mix Pancake flour marketed in the areas. This was a good idea and the product gained considerable acceptance until the larger processors entered the field. "The milling machinery was kept in tack although seldom used except for procession of small specialized orders. The building area which had been used for storage of milling products was now holding commercial feeds, and the heavy-walled bins which had stored wheat, oats, rye, and barley for milling purposes were being used to collect and store grain for shipment to market. [photo: Burrer Mill Barn on North Street] "In about 1944, Karl Burrer, President of the Corporation and Manager of the operations of various properties, was injured in an accident at the elevator in Sunbury. In consideration of the possibility that he might not be able to continue with active participation in the business, the stockholders decided to dispose of the assets and in 1945 transferred ownership of the properties to the then recently organized Delaware County Farm Bureau. In the dissolution of the corporation, Parker Burrer retained the facility in Centerburg. Milling of flour was, of course, discontinued there as in Sunbury, many years ago. "The new owners, unable to foresee any future need for the mill property, offered it for sale.

The heavy timbered frame building and storage bins were razed and the property passed into other hands. In 1966 fragments of the walls of the 'pool' and the frame building at the rear of 46 North Columbus Street were all that remained of the old mill." [photo: The Barn in 1991] This frame building (known as the Burrer barn) once housed the horses and wagons used for transportation and later converted into garage space for the chain-driven, solid-tired Republic truck. The top floor of this building was subsequently used as a loft for storing hay for the horses and later provided storage for commercial feeds. In 1917 the Republic was exchanged for a 4- cylinder, flat-bed Packard truck, also with solid tires but without the chain-drive to the rear wheels. It was purchased with a cowl and dash only, and a special weathertight cab with sliding doors was manufactured for it and installed in Columbus."

Following graduation from Sunbury High School, he went to Denison University in Granville, Ohio. During one of his winter vacations home from college, his brothers, Parker and Rudy, were looking for fun at their brother's expense and they convinced Karl to sit on a sled at the top of the hill behind the house. The boys had greased the runners under the sled so when they pushed it, the sled went so fast it could not be controlled thus the sled and Karl went through the back of a shed at the foot of the hill. While he was still in college, he took a year off to help with installation and initial wiring for the first electricity in Sunbury. He then returned to Granville to complete his education. He and other students undertook, and completed a project of wiring a new science building and laboratory then being constructed at the university. In the early 1960's one of Sunbury's local contractors, doing some remodeling at Denison, removed a partition and found a copy of The Sunbury News lodged in the partition. It had been sent to Karl by his father while Karl was a student and apparently it was accidently left behind during the construction of the building. Karl graduated from Denison University Class of 1902-3 and taught there for a period. Soon after 1900, the family installed a 'Dynamo' to make electricity for use in the mill and to distribute throughout the village. Karl was persuaded to remain home and supervise the operations. Thus the beginning of the end of his teaching career. Karl had dated a doctor's daughter from Galena for many years and everyone thought they would marry. The girl's mother let it be known her daughter had a bad back and would be unable to scrub clothes over a washboard. Amy heard this and proceeded to stop the romance. She wanted her sons to marry healthy women, preferably with money. At the Sunbury Baptist Church, Karl met Daisy Sperry who accompanied her family to church each Sunday in a horse and buggy.

Daisy loved the social life and prestige of being a professor's wife and the family flourished in Wisconsin and New York. Daisy's mother, Sophronia, died in 1916 after being thrown from a horse and her father married Margaret Walker Gelvin. Like his father and grandfather, Isaac and his new wife were also thrifty. (A family story tells that once Mr. Sperry sent Mrs. Sperry to the grocery store for a penny's worth of pepper.) Farming became too much for the couple and they bought the house at 47 North Morning Street in Sunbury. After a short period at Vassar, affairs at home dictated the advisability of returning to Sunbury permanently. As the family Electrical Engineer, Karl had the knowledge necessary for the expansion into the electric service business. They purchased a home at 153 North Columbus Street known as the Bailey Mead property. (In later years Carleton's classmate and friend Hoyt Whitney raised his family in this same house). Daisy taught piano lessons, one of her pupils being the daughter of the late Senator Frank B. Willis. She was a member and officer of the Progress Club, and in the Columbia Chapter, O. E. S., in Sunbury. Dilly remembers her mother-in-law [photo: 153 N. Columbus Street in Sunbury Built by Brooks and Emsorler in 1909. Purchased Isaac Sperry in Nov. 1909. K.O.

Daisy spent much of her lifetime in the work of the Baptist Church and its statewide associations. She was Vice President of the Ohio Baptist Missionary Society. In 1955 she was presented a gold watch for serving as organist of the church for 53 years. She said she began playing the old pump organ in the church. When it quit she played the piano. She began playing the organ again when the church purchased an electric organ. Her son, Carleton, Miss Lillie Kempton and Mrs. George Stout rotated the duties of church organist following Daisy's retirement. Unfortunately, Daisy was never really happy with life in a small town and longed for the social life of a college campus. Their marriage ended in divorce in the late 1920's. Daisy helped her son Carleton with the electrical contracting and merchandising business in Sunbury from its inception in 1932. [photo: Daisy Burrer in Morning St. Home] Upon retiring from farming, Daisy's father and stepmother bought the Andrews house on Lot #1 on the southwest corner of North and Morning Streets known as 47 North Morning Street. After her step- mother died, Daisy and Carleton moved in with her father so she could take of him. She continued to provide care for her widowed father until his death at the age of 90. When her son was serving his country during WWII, Daisy continued to run the electrical business with the faithful help of Walter Gross, Harry Snow, Leta Barnhard, and Lily Kempton. Monday was her usual day to shop for the appliances her customers wanted. [photo: Daisy Sperry Burrer] In 1955, Daisy married J. J.

Description An account of the resource [page 42] [corresponds to page 35 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Paul Parker Burrer Paul Parker was the second surviving son of Gottlieb and Amy Ann. He grew up in the mill and remembered his first job there paid 25 cents a day. Parker graduated from sunbury School. After a very short time at Denison University, he worked in the mill. On October 7, 1908, he marrried Sarah Minerva Hess and to them were born a son, Gerald Jacob, on January 23, 1910, and a daughter, Barbara, on April 18, 1918. Sarah Minerva was a strong willed woman who tended to get things done her way. She was in her glory doing cooking demonstrations at the fairs and was very competent. Working with his father and brothers in G. J. Burrer & Sons mill, Parker became known as a qualified "Master Miller" and implemented his skills as a natural mechanic with a proficient knowledge of electricity, and by constant exposure to the vagaries of steam and internal combustion engines. To keep the Light Plant and the Mill running on schedule, and faced with the constant breakdowns experienced with the early autos and trucks, mechanical ability was essential to survival. In addition to producing and processing flour, feed, and allied grain products, Parker helped wire the family home and the mill for lighting and power in days when little was known about it. He installed electricity in public buildings and houses, old and new, as requested. He installed poles along the streets and backyards where necessary, together with the associated overhead primary and secondary wiring, transformers and metering equipment. Street lights were installed (carbon-arc type) at important intersections and at the mill. Water pumps and systems were installed and household appliances furnished as they became available. [photo: Parker Burrer Playing the Organ in Carleton Burrer's Home in 1971] Parker sold, installed and kept running many of the early "Lalley" (32 volt D.C.) farm lighting plants and systems in the years before rural electric lines were extended into the country. In addition, Parker found time to teach Sunday School in the Baptist Church, sing in his deep baritone voice in the church choir, play the piano for services, and was very active in church affairs. He played an E-Flat Horn in the Knox Band throughout the county as well as the Shrine Bank in Columbus. Parker also enjoyed taking part in group performances and even played the organ. At the turn of the century, Parker and his brother, Rudolph, purchased the lines, water tank near the Baptist Church, and equipment of the original Sunbury Waterworks, then practically 'defunct' for the sum of $1.00 and managed to keep it working for a time. However, before long time spent looking for leaks and digging them up to fix them made the operation Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 42) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/129502171ba9e1f6d2767d73374df4cc.jpg eb3517f6600bd066e78c56d62aa325a4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One Sunday morning during church services the water tank fell down with a loud crash and that put them out of business. Following the war in 1918, Parker took over the operation of the mill in Centerburg to make "Light Sponge" and "Tip Top Flour' and the operation of the Mt. Liberty business, commuting back and forth by auto or train. In a retirement article in the Centerburg paper (June 7, 1973), Parker reminisced about traveling by train. In those days people met the trains just to have something to do so there was often a crowd at the station when the train was due. During one of his commuting trips to Sunbury, Parker and a traveling partner decided to ride the cowcatcher from the Condit stop to Sunbury. "It was a wild ride for the two daring young men clinging to the swaying front of the engine. And to top it off when they arrived at the depot in Sunbury there was the usual crowd gathered to 'meet the train' and the cowcatcher passengers received a warm hilarious welcome. Parker didn't say what the conductor or engineer of the train had to say about the incident." Finally in 1923, he moved his family to Centerburg. In 1937, after taking their daughter to college, Parker and Minerva were in an automobile accident. While trying to protect the dog on her lap, Minerva was thrown into the windshield and died shortly after in the hospital. Parker was also badly injured and had to spend time in the hospital. Five years later, in 1942, Parker married Mrs. Minnie McLeod of Columbus. She was a very fun loving woman who brought happiness to Parker. Dan Clancy, a writer for the Columbus Dispatch, wrote a feature about Parker and his recollections of the mill. He recalled in 1903 wheat brought $1 a bushel and corn 50 cents. But he says, "In the Depression, wheat went down to 36 cents and corn to 10 cents. I can remember when I didn't even want corn at 10 cents a bushel." [photo: Paul Parker Burrer 1886-1976 Master Mason Photo] A workaholic, Parker noted, "When I'm awake, my mind is working." Stories around Centerburg tell of Burrer phoning people at 2 or 3 a.m. to ask business questions while he was working on his books. In 1965, Parker noted the demise of mills across the state. In 1927 there were 1376 mills in Ohio, 260 in 1939 and only 20 in 1965. At the age of 80 in 1966, Parker sold his mill to Harold C. "Butch" Cordle and semi- retired, continued to operate the fertilizer sales portion of the business until his health necessitated almost complete curtailment of business activities around 1975. For more than fifty years, he was an active member and a Past Master of Sunbury's Sparrow Lodge No. 400, F. & A. M. In 1973 he received his 65th service award. In 1976 he was honored as the Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 43) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/4bc2da03c9350fddca9c21c92a005947.jpg 03d47d5c75a871684980a60056250820 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was also a member of Clinton Commandry, Knights Templer and a charter member of Centerburg Lions. Distinguished as the longest living Burrer, Parker died in Martin Memorial Hospital in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, September 1, 1976 at the age of 90. He left his wife, his children, Gerald Jacob of Monroe Michigan, and Barbara of Romulus, Michigan, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Gerald Jacob, cast in the Burrer mold, loves mechanical challenges. He bought an old car and totally rebuilt it to mint condition. He built his own home on Lake Erie using pegs instead of nails.

Her very practical view of things has allowed her to design and oversee the building of her home. See the Appendix for Parker's family line. Rudolph Odell Burrer Like his brothers, Rudolph worked in the mill through graduation from Sunbury High School then went to Denison. He had beautiful red curls and was popular with the girls. However, in class he sat back and did not recite but still got the best grade on his exam. The Professor said he could not have an 'A' because he had not participated in class discussions. When he went home at Christmas, Rudy refused to return to college. His parents were very upset and went to see the Professor. Rudy was given a second test which he also passed with flying colors but he still refused to go back to school. Since his parents had already paid the non- refundable tuition, they sent Parker to use the remaining funds. Parker took music lessons on the E-Flat horn, piano and voice lessons for his deep baritone voice. After using the remaining Denison funds, he went to London for business school.

He always gave customers conservative uses for their money so none would lose their savings. Many people hired Rudy to build buildings for them because he knew what needed to be done. On October 31, 1915, Rudy married Helen Campbell Dryer of Delaware who opened a millinery shop in Sunbury. The marriage was short lived when she passed away the following January 15 with pneumonia. Rudy wasn't interested in girls after that. Rudy served in the army for a period during WWI and then returned to the Farmer's Bank. [photo: Rudy and Louise Griffiths Burrer May 4, 1932] One day, Louise Sheets told Rudy she would find him a wife if he found her a husband. Louise held up her part of the agreement and introduced him to a friend. So seventeen years after the death of his wife, Rudy married Martha Louise Griffiths, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Griffiths of Delaware. Rudy never did find a husband for Louise Sheets. As a young girl, Louise Burrer had a beautiful operatic voice and went to New York to be in musical comedies. Although she loved the music, the city life in New York was not for her and she returned to Delaware and became deputy clerk in the Delaware County Probate Court where her beautiful penmanship still shows on the records. The Sunbury News article telling of their wedding noted until just a few months before their wedding, Rudy was a woman hater. Louise changed his mind. [photo: R. O.

He was very involved during the difficult time the village was installing the waterworks system. He was member of the Masonic Order for over 50 years and a member of the Knights Templar of the Order.

She recalled the first time she sat at a family gathering and heard the boys all talking. They were all mechanical and loved to figure out how to make things work. As a result they all spoke a language unfamiliar to her. "To contribute to the conversation, I would try to figure out what they were talking about but I never could," noted Dilly. "They were an amazing family. The genes were mixed so well that no two men were exactly the same. While they all understood the basics of the trade, some excelled in bookkeeping, some in electricity, and some in mechanics. Each thought his field the most important and often did not understand why his brothers did not feel the same way. While they would disagree among themselves, they were always a loyal family, willing to help each other for the good of the family. "The distinguished Roman nose dominated the faces of many of the Burrers and carried through generations of the Burrer family. Note the pictures of Rudy, Carleton and Gottlieb Jacob, pointed out Dilly. "However, their personalities were all so different. Karl and Gordon were the closest." "They were a wonderful bunch of men and I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing them. After my background in a Lutheran minister's family, they brought a totally new exciting dimension to my life."

Sometimes they found kin and other times they were left with more questions. Sometimes driving through the countryside they would spot a barn roof or perhaps a store with the Burrer name displayed and that would lead to more questions. Trekking through cemeteries, became a part of their trips. Occasionally trips weren't too fruitful, such as the trip to Sperryville, Virginia. It was a disappointment to discover no Sperrys in the phone book so Dilly took Carleton's picture at the post office as the only Sperry in Sperryville. Along the way many new-found friends and distant relatives filled in gaps. Corwin Burrer was very helpful on the Elyria-Medina branch of the family. This branch is from Johann Jacob's half brother, Christoph Friedrich III who originally settled there.

Carleton was very much like his father. He was a good mechanic but also very intelligent and treasured books. He loved Sunbury and as a good historian he and his wife traced the origin of the name of Sunbury across the country then across the ocean. It is enclosed in the Appendix of this book. His family moved to Wisconsin when he was a toddler. Then while he was still small, the family moved into a house at 153 North Columbus Street and Carleton attended Sunbury School for the first five grades. He told Joan Fuller he remembered clearly accepting Jesus during one of the special meetings in the Baptist Church when he was six or seven years old.

Education During his Sunbury High School years, Carleton took pleasure in his friends and in his church. Many of his classmates became his life- long friends. Carleton graduated from sunbury High School in 1927. With only 5 boys (including Hi Morris and Hoyt Whitney) in his class, Carleton played football, basketball and baseball. He served as Captain of the first Sunbury football team. Sports were expected of all the boys, but Carleton never really enjoyed them.

As Daisy became more and more disenchanted with her life, the family's home life deteriorated whle Carleton was growing up. Throughout his adolescent years, Carleton stayed away from the home turmoil whenever he could. His parents misunderstood his behavior and thought he was into mischief. He turned to a friend, Frank Stelzer, who helped many confused youths in the community.

Description An account of the resource [page 61] [corresponds to page 53 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] [photo: Mrs. Davison, Hazel Davidson, Daisy Burrer, Carleton Burrer, K.O. Burrer] Once Carleton and some friends wanted a car for a date but his father refused so Carleton turned to the Superintendent of the Sunday School. He let the boys borrow his car but later claimed they stole a lap-rug from it. Much later a 'friend' admitted to the mischief but not before Carleton was humiliated. By the time he graduated, his parents were dissolving their marriage and Carleton was floundering trying to decide where his allegiance should lie. He went to see an old family friend, Fawn Druggan, and she wisely told him to not take sides but accept each as individuals. This advice was sound and Carleton became a neutral force in family matters. After high school, his first job was setting poles for the Central Utilities Company when they installed the power line from Cheshire to Sunbury. Little did he know at that time how much this experience would help in his future. When he should have been sent to college, his parents were so caught up in their own bitterness, they did not consider his needs. Karl wanted him to go to military school and receive some discipline. Daisy knew that was wrong and so they settled on technical school. Westinghouse was looking for bright young men with scientific and mechanical minds. A teacher told Carleton about the school, he applied and was accepted. He moved to Pittsburgh for his training. There he worked in Westinghouse in the day and attended classes in the evening for about a year. The classes were free and they received enough pay to be able to afford the apartment if they pooled their funds. A group of five boys lived together in an apartment, did their own cooking and went to school. While Carleton was in the trade school, he met and roomed with Seward Arnold. They both knew they wanted an education and were a cut above some of their other roommates. One time Daisy went to see her son and called to let him know she was there but a female answered the phone. Apparently she had been living with one of Carleton's roommates but she scooted before Daisy got to the house. No one ever told Dilly who the woman was visiting but she knew it wasn't Carleton. Another time a policeman came to see one of the fellows who hid in a closet. The others did not want to get into trouble so they dragged the man out to talk with the policemen. Carleton and Seward got more education than they had bargained for. Meets Dilly At this time Dilly was attending Elmira College in New York.

She was all dressed in a prom dress of tulle over taffeta and felt very special as she went to the dance. Unfortunatley the date was not a winner. In addition to the flask in his pocket, he couldn't dance, made an improper advance and lastly got her to the dorm 15 minutes late which caused Dilly to be grounded for two solid weeks. Dilly wanted nothing more to do with that young man so she now was facing the senior prom without a date. Her friend Margie, who was engaged to one of Carleton's roommates, knew of some guys in Pittsburgh who were interested in going to the prom. Dilly said, "Count me in," but faced it with reservations. All the girls had spent time learning to dance and she was afraid she would be disappointed, again. However, this time the two short people, Dilly and Carleton, were paired off. "Carleton danced like a dream," remembers Dilly. "We hit it off right away." There was some sort of a problem and Westinghouse closed the program. Carleton and Seward bought a sporty convertible automobile with a rumble seat and went to Toledo where they heard there were jobs. Their funds were very limited so they lived at the YMCA. Carleton found a job selling appliances on commission. Unfortunately, it was the Depression, money was tight, and not many bought appliances. Seward couldn't find a job. Carleton made enough money to pay the room for both of them and by so doing paid off Seward's half of the car and became the sole owner of it. As a natural leader, Carleton became president of the YMCA while in Toledo. Meanwhile, Carleton and Dilly's relationship blossomed through the mails.

Another time Dilly came to Ohio to visit Carleton. He drove her to Cleveland and put her on an overnight boat to Buffalo. "I didn't get much sleep but the idea was good," noted Dilly. Sunbury Electric Shop Business was very slow in Toledo so Carleton decided to return to Sunbury. There in the height of the Depression, Carleton, as the electrician, and Wayne "Slim" Crawford opened an electric store in the basement of the old post office building (Blue Door Antiques in 1996) on East Cherry Street. "If we sold a box of fuses or some light bulbs, we figured we'd had a pretty good day in those times," Carleton told The Sunbury News editor, John Whitney, when the latter wrote the Burrer's retirement story in 1975. Carleton gave Dilly an engagement ring for Christmas in 1934. At the time she was teaching school and working for the WPA as a librarian in Stratford, NY., a small mountain town in the lower Adirondacks. In 1933 or 34, Carleton bought Crawford's share of the business and then in 1937, moved it to the east side of the square (where Glenn Evans Insurance Agency is located in 1996.) Sunbury Electric Shop collected payments for electric bills due to Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric. The shop handled electrical appliances and Carleton did electrical contracting. Following in the footsteps of his father and uncles, in 1938, Carleton, wearing a new tuxedo his father purchased for the occasion, was installed as the Master of Sparrow Lodge No 400 F.& A.M. in Sunbury. The next year Carleton was the youngest Past Master of the lodges in Ohio. In 1939 Sunbury Electric Shop moved next door to Blakely-Williams in a large frame building at the southeast corner of Vernon and Cherry Streets.

Description An account of the resource [page 68] [corresponds to page 59 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] [photo: Dorothy Dillenbech 2 years, 9 months] Dorothy MacNaughton Dillenbeck was born January 6, 1907, to Andrew Luther and Stella Pearl (Whitbeck) Dillenbeck while he was studying in Hartwick Theological Seminary in Hartwick Seminary, New York. Dorothy was not given a middle name at the time of her birth because Dorothy Dillenbeck was a long enough name for a little girl. Wishing for a middle name, all through her youth she made up her own. Finally when she was going away to school she decided she needed a middle name and her father helped her settle on MacNaughton, her great- grandfather's surname. "A MacClain girl had married a MacNaughton man which was better than a MacNaughton girl marrying a MacClain man!" - so the family saying goes. All through school she was called Dorothy, her father was Dil and her brother was Dil. One day the three of them were sitting on the porch and someone went by and called "Hi, Dilly." "We weren't sure who they were talking to but the name stuck and I became Dilly with a 'y although many spell it with 'ie.'" With the new nickname she fit in when her friend whose name was Fitch was always called Fitchie. The Dillenbach family has been traced to Switzerland where two forms of the name are in common usage - Dallenbach and Tallenbach. Indeed the two names are so often interchanged the telephone directory in Bern, Switzerland, (in 1969) showed cross references between the two spellings. The family legend says the family is descended from Wilhelm Tell (Tallen) whose family lived by the brooks (bach) thus Tallenbach. Those who remained on the hillside or mountain (bergs) slopes are called Tallenbergs. Time flattened the sound of the T to D thus Dallenbach. Quite probably William Tell was a relative. Although the family is found in Switzerland, both the name and the family are German noted Andrew Dillenbeck and Karl Dallenbeck who co-edited the family genealogy, The Dallenbachs in America. Jorg Martin Dillenbach Jorg Martin (Martin as he was known) was born about 1690 to Nicholas and Anna Barbara Dallenbach of Lauperswil, a small Swiss village in the Alps a few miles northeast of Bern. In 1710, Martin, his wife Sarah Catherine (Baumann?), and his widowed mother were among the second migration of Palatines from the Rhine Valley to New York. Historians have decided Sarah probably died giving birth to Anna Margretha August 1, 1712, and the baby died soon after. Six months later Martin married Anna Elizabeth (Castlemann) and they lived in Neu Castle across the Hudson from Germantown, N.Y.

Nicholson in 1711 in Queen Anne's War thus becoming the first in the family to bear arms on American soil. It is unknown when Martin moved to the Mohawk Valley but most of his children were born there and he is probably buried on the old homestead which is still in the family in 1996. He founded Stone Arabia Church in a log cabin in 1728 on land secured from the government known as the Stone Arabia Patent. Since its founding, the church has never been closed although fire destroyed the log structure and it was rebuilt. Dilly and her father have always maintained membership in this church. Ten children were born to this union: Johannes (1714), Henrich (1716), Christian (1718), Anna Maria (1720), Wilhelm (1722), Elisabeth (1725), Martinus (1729), John Dietrich (1731), John Baltasar (1733), and John David (1735). Henrich Dillenbach Our family follows through Henrich (1716-1795) who married Anna Margretha (Wagner) March 19, 1735. Anna was born April 15, 1712 to John Peter and Maria Margretha (Loucks) Wagner in New Paltz. To this union nine children were born: Anna Margretha (12-22-1735), Andrew (12-29-1736), Anna Maria (12-7- 1738), Elizabeth (4-4-1740). Henrich (3-29-1741), Catherine (12-26-1743), Johannes (1-13-1747), Magdalena (10-5-1749), and Barbara Elizabeth (6-22-1752). All were members of the Lutheran church but it is not known if they are buried in the old church cemetery or at the homestead. Andrew A. Dillenbach Andrew (12-29-1736 to 8-6-1977) married Catharina Finck on November 27, 1764. Catharina was the daughter of Andreas and Margaret Finck and had grown up with Andrew. They had 6 children: Anna Margretha (3-26-1766), Catherine (3- 3-1768), Maria (4-11-1770), Andrew A. (4-26-1775) and Magdalena (4-24-1778). His last daughter was born months after her father's death. When Sir William Johnson called for troops to march on Ft. William Henry, March 20, 1757, twenty-one year old Andrew was in Capt. Soffrines Deychert's Company. The Company disbanded nine days later. Again on July 24, 1763, when the alarm went out that German Flatts was in danger of attack, Andrew responded. In 1768, Andrew signed a petition to Sir William to compel him to issue a new deed when the Lutheran congregation of Stone Arabia had lost its deed to their property. Andrew was active in events leading up to the American Revolution. He served as a Lieutenant in the Palatine Militia. Then in 1776, he and Capt. John Zielley and others, were made a Committee of Vigilance to procure arms and equipment for the Militia. In 1777, he marched on Oriskany as Lieutenant in Capt. Severines Cook's Company, Col. Klock's New York Regiment under General Herkimer. On August 4, 1777, General Nicholas Herkimer gathered together 800 militiamen at Ft. Dayton (now Herkimer, N.Y.) for the relief of Ft. Schuyler (Rome, N.Y.) which was besieged by British under Col.

On the 6th, General Herkimer's troops were ambushed by the British under Sir John Johnson and Indians under Brant in a ravine 2 miles west of Oriskany, a village in Oneida County, N.Y. The rear portion of Herkimer's troops escaped the trap, but were pursued by the Indians, and many of them were overtaken and killed. Between the remainder, the British and the Indians, there was a desperate hand-to-hand conflict, interrupted by a violent thunderstorm, with no quarter shown by either side. Soldiers were dropping right and left, so Lieutenant Dillenbach was made Captain on the battlefield. Captain Andrew Dillenbach, knowing how Indians treated prisoners, told George Walter (to whom we are indebted for his eye witness account of the following events) he would not be taken alive. "Three of Johnson's Greens set upon him. One of his assailants seized the Captain's gun, but he suddenly wrenched it from him and felled him with the musket butt. He shot the second dead, and thrust the bayonet through a third. But in the moment of triumph a ball laid him low." He was shot through the head and died instantly. A tradition in the family says that the gun that killed the Captain was fired by a Tory neighbor living on the farm adjoining the Old Homestead and one with whom Captain Andrew had grown up and into whose family his oldest daughter was to marry. Following the Captain's previous instructions to his comrades, his silver buckles were removed from his shoes and knees and put with his pocketbook to later be taken to his wife. There was no time to bury the victims, so the Captain's body was put in a field of tall wheat to hide it from the Indians and prevent scalping. Hearing the firing near Ft. Schuyler, the British finally withdrew but not before 200 Americans had been killed and as many more taken prisoners. The British losses were equally as heavy. General Herkimer, though his leg had been taken by a shot at the beginning of the action, continued to direct the fighting on the American side. Herkimer died August 16 as a result of the clumsy amputation of his leg. The battle was not decisive but it did prevent St. Leger's troops from joining up with General Burgoyne. Story of the Battle is taken from Encyclopedia Britannica. Since the dead were never buried, it is said that for months after the battle, travelers detoured the field to avoid the stench of decaying flesh. Members of the family know the exact spot where Andrew was killed. In 1877, one hundred years after his death, Dilly's grandfather, Luther, and others visited the spot and found a sign nailed to a tree which read "Here Captain Andrew Dillenbeck was killed." In 1930, Dilly's father and brother also visited the battlefield. A tall obelisk monument marks the place today. Catharina was left pregnant and with five chilren, the oldest only eleven. In 1780, she married Capt. John Zielley, a friend, neighbor and co-militiaman of Andrew's, and guardians were appointed for the children. To this union more children were born and family tradition says they received preference over captain Andrew's children. Andrew A.

However, the vivid sight of the burning buildings and crops became a lasting memory for him. It is possible Andrew was raised by grandparents after his mother remarried when he was five years old. Documents show his grandfather Finck saved his Dillenbach inheritance for him after a guardian was appointed for Captain Andrew's children. So at 17, Andrew took charge of the family farm. Andrew A. married Margaret Woolever (Wohleben) March 11, 1777. Margaret's family had come to America with the first Martin Dallenbach. She was born May 1777 in German Flatts or Manheim. Andrew and Margaret had six children: Magdalena (7-14-1798), Andrew A. (9-18-1800). Eva, Engel (6-22-1804 who died an infant), John A. (5-25-1807) and Catharine (6-22-1812) In 1807 Andrew purchased a 16 year old Negro slave named Sam from the Pastor Philip Grotz because the pastor was afraid he would be forced to beat the boy if he kept him. Sam was "an imp of mischief" who had tried the pastor. It is not known if Andrew had other slaves. He served as Orderly Sergeant under Capt. John I. Cook (his uncle) in the War of 1812 and spent 3 months stationed at Sacketts Harbor. Margaret died February 21, 1863, and Andrew December 20, 1868. They are the first interred in the family plot at the Old Homestead. Andrew A. Dillenbach III Andrew A. was born on the Old Homestead September 18, 1800. Named after his father and grandfather, it was intended that he would one day inherit the homestead. Unfortunately difficulties arose after his marriage when he and his wife attempted to live at home, so his father purchased a farm for him about 2 miles east where he and his wife lived, died and are buried. This Andrew was known as "Little Andrew" because he was small in stature. He married Margaret (Neahr) and they had eight children: Eliza (1824 to 1904 who never married), Margaret (1828-1912), Julianna, Charles A. (1834-1903), David (1837-1908), Luther (7-4-1843 to 6-19-1894), and Hannah (1847-1933). Margaret died December 14, 1874, and Andrew died January 6, 1881. [photo: Andrew A.

His family lived in a huge house on one side of the Erie Canal and Van Wies lived in a hugh house on the other side of the canal. Both families were very prosperous.

They had four children: John L. (1871-1872), Andrew L. (1878-1963), Marie (1882), and John W. (1887). Farming is always a gamble and when it is mixed with excessive drinking the odds begin to stack against the farmer. Luther began to put everything into hops and after a few bad seasons, he lost all the money which was to pay the mortgage. [photo: Dilly's Great-Grandfather John D. Van Wie Helen Dillenbeck's Father] [photo: Helen Van Wie Dillenbeck] Due to the drinking Luther's health failed so they sold the farm and moved to a little house near Stone Arabia schoolhouse. While Luther was drinking he was the life of the party but he could also be nasty and in one of the nasty times he kicked the family dog which resulted in its death. When Luther wouldn't return home, his son Andrew was sent after him although Andrew was only a small boy. Luther died June 19, 1894, when Andrew was only 9 years old. This period in Andrew's life was to have a lasting impression on him. He became a teetotaller for life.

The union of two young lives in holy wedlock, and the consequent bringing together of two families hitherto unrelated and unknown to each other, is an event to stir any neighborhood to unusual activity. Several years ago Mr. Andrew L. Dillenbeck of St. Johnsville came hither to pursue in the Seminary a course of studies leading to the ministry of the Lutheran Church. While in school he was attracted to one of Hartwick's fair maidens, Miss Stella Pearl Whitbeck, then a teacher in the public school, and earlier a graduate of the Seminary. . . . . . . . . Here we have a blank into which our readers can fill the "old, old story." Mr. Dillenbeck entered Gettys- burg College in 1902, and this year is graduated therefrom with dis- tinguished, honors, including a prize of $30.00. Miss Whitbeck for two years has been a teacher in the High School at Fort Hunter. [photo] On the 7th of June, '05, in the Seminary Church, these joined their earthly fortunes in holy marriage, saying their vows to Rev. Alfred Hiller, D. D., pastor of the Lutheran Church. At 8 p. m. Prof. C. S. Derrick, presiding at the Organ, played the wedding march, and the bridal party approached a bower of beauty in white and green. Rev. Geo. G. Whitbeck of Valatio gave his sister in marriage unto the husband of her choice. The immediate party fronting the officiating clergyman were, the bride and groom, accompanied by Stanley Haverly as best man, and Greta May Whitbeck, a niece, as maid of honor. Flanking these were the ushers, Mr. Hinkle, College class- mate, Dallas Dillenbeck, Elton Dil- lenbeck, cousins, and John Dillenbeck, brother, and bride's maids, Misses Flora and Elsie Murdock. The rain which had been pouring during the afternoon considerately ceased to allow the guests, who nearly filled the church, to go to the ceremony, and to return to the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Whitbeck, the bride's parents. Being "only a man" we shall not attempt to describe the bride's trosseau, nor to describe the bride's trosseau, nor the gowns of the various sweet and pretty attendants. Suffice it to say they were all in keeping with the occasion. To our thinking the refined and intellectual bearing was superior to any amount of "clothes" which might be enumerated. So, also, when we attempt to describe the brilliancy of the reception which immediately followed the ceremony our pen threatens to revolt. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Whitbeck, in- cluding the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. Whitbeck, just thronged with merry guests, while white robe maidens flitted here, there and yon, dispensing refreshments, many or most of which were the product of the bride's own deft hand. Shall we enumerate the gifts? No, that would be about impossible, and surely might subject some one to a feeling of envy. We desire, however, to note those of the guests who journeyed hither from other com- munities, omitting those who dwell within our gates.

Description An account of the resource [page 88] [corresponds to page 79 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Both Andrew and Pearl enjoyed music and the company of many friends throughout these early years. Without television, cars, and easy access to all the entertainments of today, they found it easy to entertain themselves. Groups of faculty and students from the college would get together for charades, skits or evenings devoted to music. Their scrapbook made during this period is full of pictures of friends getting together in the parlor many in full costumes for the characters they were portraying. [photo: Pearl and Andrew Dillenbeck in the Parlor of Their Home] Dilly's Youth Dilly was born across the road from the Whitbeck homestead located on the creek side of the Susquehanna River, in Hartwick Seminary. Later she and her husband would be found tracing the origin of Sunbury, Ohio, along the same river in Pennsylvania. According to her babybook, her mother recorded that Dilly didn't talk until her brother Marsden did and when she once started she never stopped. Once Dilly was asked what God said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. She replied. "Get out of this joint." There was never a void of topics for discussion. Andrew always took The New York Times when it was available. Often, the family would discuss items from the paper at the dinner table. Of course he never bought The Times on Sunday but rather made arrangements for the paper to be held until Monday when it would be purchased and both papers read. One of the many topics discussed at the table, was Mary Baker Eddy and her movement away from doctors. When a neighbor got TB and wouldn't have a doctor, Pearl took it upon herself to call a doctor. The woman refused to talk with him and soon died. Pearl never cooked on Sundays. She spent all day Saturday cooking and then she would scrub the kitchen floor. "She never let me scrub the floor because she disliked doing it so much and she never would ask anyone to do something she didn't like doing," commented Dilly. As a girl, Dilly remembers wearing layers of clothing and still being cold. She wore black knit stockings, high buttoned shoes, long johns with a back door, 2 pair of bloomers (one brown serge and the other light brown serge, sweaters, Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 88) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/57616556db026d5cf30413dc396216de.jpg 48033557d92d1aac949844ed781a1b23 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When she was older and complained about having to wear so many layers, Pearl told her of the time a friend was walking by the horse stall near the church at Hartwick Seminary and a man pulled her into a stall and attempted to rape her. As he pulled off each layer of her clothes she would scream and it took him so long to get through all the layers she was able to get away. Perhaps all the layers weren't so bad! Inside whenever it was possible, Dilly got near a stove to keep warm. There was one in the middle of the living room and a large cook stove in the kitchen. Of course the upstairs was unheated. Going to Grandmother Whitbeck's was always an adventure. Dilly remembers the goose down comforter or feather tick which was so soft and warm on her grandmother's bed. Although she begged to sleep there it was usually not to be. Dilly slept in a flannel nightgown under heavy comforters to keep warm. In her bedroom was a pitcher of cold water to be poured into a basin to wash her hands and face. Then the water was dumped into the slop jar and covered. Next she brushed her teeth with more water from the pitcher and dumped the used water into the slop jar. If needed, and in the winter it was better than the outhouse, one used the chamber pot and dumped it in the slop pot. "Guess who got to dump the slop pot?" asked Dilly with a twinkle in her eye. Her mother did it since it was another undesirable task. Perhaps the slop pot experience was to set the stage for later travels. Dilly remembers the worst outhouse she ever saw was in Lebanon but when nature calls one has to go filth and all. It beat France where people in the country just straddled a ditch. Once while traveling in England, Carleton hurried into a stall and then noticed a ladies' legs under the partition and realized he was in the wrong restroom. Another time they left a motel in New York Finger Lakes before bedtime when they saw bugs crawling across the top of the toilet. Hurray for modern plumbing! Dilly remembers the Aladdin gas lights with the fragile white mantels which burned so much brighter than kerosene and wick lanterns. One had to be so careful while cleaning them. The iceman came by on a wagon pulled by horse. He would check the sign in the window which told how much ice was wanted, then he chipped off that size chunk, lifted it with ice-tongs and carried it into the house and put it in the icebox. Of course all the kids ran to get the large chips that fell in the road and put them in their mouths. Occassionally, Dilly got spanked with the back of a hairbrush by her father but not often. She, in turn, spanked her son, John with a wooden serving dish. One time she broke the handle on it while spanking him and he shouted, "Mommy, see what you did?" The handle was glued back on and the family still uses the dish.

Description An account of the resource [page 90] [corresponds to page 81 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Ghent, New York From 1907 to 1908 the family lived in Ghent where her father was a pastor. Marsden Van Wie was born in Ghent. Dilly was too young to remember anything about this town. She does recall the family later telling her about sitting in her rocker in the chancel singing about 'My Dolly' in the Christmas program. During her childhood, Dilly's family moved at least every 6 years because her father thought that was long enough for a minister to be in one spot. After six years, he might loose the spontaneity and the parishioners would not get as much from his sermons. [photo: Dorothy, 2 1/2 Years Old, and Marsden Van Wie Dillenbeck, 10 Months] Central Bridge, New York From 1908 to 1914, the family lived in the little village of Central Bridge. Dilly was small and sickly so the family did not send her to school as she would have had to cross the mainline of the New York Central Railroad to walk to school. Marsden would be going in two years and it was decided she could wait and go with him. Meanwhile since her mother was a teacher, she used this time to give her children a wonderful head start on their education by playing games devised to have them ready to learn to read, etc. She would cut the numbers off a calendar and use them for the children to learn to count and do simple math. [photo: Visiting the Barringers in Minden, New York Marsden on Andrew's lap, Uncle Russell Barringer Driving the Buggy, Aunt Alice Barringer, Dorothy and Pearl] Holding Dilly back also met there would be a financial crunch when both were in College at the same time so French Bonds were purchased and put away for the college education. One day Dilly and a friend were walking down the sidewalk toward the parsonage when Mr. Carmichael pulled his automobile up next to them and ask if they would like a ride. "Every time we heard the chug of an automobile, we ran to see it," remembered Dilly. She had never been in a car before and was thrilled with the long slow ride up and down the Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 90) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/4dbeea6b30247df292c7885f95fdc543.jpg d89b350fd024b4e062fd4810129e4705 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To this day she isn't sure whether they were most upset because she went without asking, went with Mr. Carmichael, or rode in an automobile. While they were in Central Bridge, Dilly remembers her two grandmothers coming to visit and making comforters for them. They cut the squares of scrap fabric left from clothes, pieced them into a pattern, backed them over a lining, and finally tied lots of knots to hold the layers of fabric together. "How we loved our comforters! My grandchildren got to use the same comforters!" Ministers' families usually lived in parsonages provided by the church. Unfortunately they are not usually kept in good repair, so each move Pearl had to learn to cook on a stove which may or may not heat to the proper temperature. However in Central Bridge, the church built them a new parsonage with a new stove. Dilly and Marsden put their hand prints in the concrete of the poured sidewalk to leave a lasting memento of their life there. Fifty years later when she went back to look, the sidewalk had been replace - the prints were gone. So much for immortality. While at Central Bridge, Dilly visited her first flour mill. Years later this event gave her something to talk about on her blind date with Carleton. Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania From 1914 to 1917, the family moved to Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania, a coal mining city located 50 miles east of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and the Susquehanna River. This coal was soft so all the streams and rivers were black. Nothing grew or was green so it was depressing. Pearl hated it and Dorothy was glad when they left although she has special memories of the coal town built on rolling hills. Front porches on the houses were built up high to allow for the slope of the land. Miners returning home would take off their shoes and sit on their porches. If a child looked carefully at eye level, he or she could see white feet below the black legs of the people sitting on the porches and that sight always brought giggles. Being a minister's family, they were often invited to Sunday dinner in a parishioner's house. The dinner was usually fried chicken. One Sunday the family was invited to Sam Clemens' house for dinner. His wife invited them to sit in the parlor while she hurried back and forth from the kitchen. On one trip through the kitchen door she let the door open far enough that Dilly and Marsden saw Sam taking a bath in the kitchen. Imagine what fun two children had with the memory of that sight! Dilly and Marsden started school in Mt. Carmel. They were kept in the same classroom, much to Dilly's disgust. Neither child had any trouble with schoolwork since their mother had prepared them so well. From the time they were very little, they had the twenty volume set of Book Of Knowledge in their house which she and Marsden devoured. Many years later, Dilly's son John loved a newer version of the same set of books. In school they read books for grades and Dilly always read every word, cover-to-cover but Marsden discovered he could read the first and last chapter and prepare a report on just those and get the same grade. Father admitted it Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 91) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/6740cb2c0b9c6733256ee8bd9ccce9e8.jpg d7f3d2be271b4c709acaa337b15f6cb6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dilly remembers having the family picture taken and her mother wearing a new dress she had made, "It was light blue with bright orange trim and I couldn't stand the clashing colors" commented Dilly. Already she was beginning to take after her father while her brother resembled his mother. [photo: The Dillenbecks in 1914 in Mt. Carmel] The houses in Mt. Carmel were built so close together, there was barely room to get a wheelbarrow between them. One night the family was awakened by the neighbor banging on the wall and they looked outside to see the neighor's house on fire just beyond Dilly's room. Mother called to wake up the children and told them to get dressed. Marsden was so much asleep he never really woke up to get dressed and ended up with his legs in the armholes, etc. This frustrated and annoyed Dilly who called for help and dragged him to their parent's room. Mother took over dressing Marsden and told Dilly to go get her clothes and bring them back. Terrified Dilly had to leave the safety of her mother's room and walk towards the fire blazing outside her room, get her clothes and return to her mother's room. When she got back to her mother's room, Dilly discovered she had dropped a black stocking and therefore had to return to her room and brave the fire again to retrieve it. When she was dressed and they got her brother dressed, her father carried her brother and her mother collected their 'valuables' in a comforter and the family went to safety across the street. The fire department was able to put out the chimney fire without damage Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 92) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/59e08a59caa5201342b740fb3a7f37e7.jpg 19cf89d508d4c6717f0e94beb97a4146 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Being minister's children, Dilly and Marsden were always expected to do the right thing. This is a very difficult standard for children. One day some boys began poking at Marsden because they knew he would not fight back. Naturally, Marsden came out on the short end of the fight and went home the worse for wear. His father took him aside and told him that although fighting was not right, he would have to stick up for himself. The mountains in Mt. Carmel, inspired Andrew, who loved hiking. He convinced two of his parishioners to join him on a hike across the height of Pennsylvania. This love of mountain hiking left an impression on Dilly. Hollis, New York From 1917 to 1921, the family lived in Hollis in the Borough of Queens in New York City. Dilly went to School #35 where many famous people, such as Art Buckwald, have been educated. It was a big brick school which housed grades one through eight. It was education at its best. To Dilly's delight, the school officials allowed her to skip the fourth grade which put her in different classes than Marsden. Her parents were both active in the war effort. Andrew was in charge of a warehouse which stored the food, blankets, clothing and other items collected by the Lutheran churches across the United States for the Belgium War Relief. He organized them and got items shipped to Belgium. Pearl worked in the warehouse office and helped Andrew. This necessitated hiring someone to cook and look after Dilly and Marsden so a cousin was employed to take care of them Her cooking was awful! Her cookies tasted so bad that the children devised many ways to hide them until they were away from the table and could get rid of them. Dilly always wished she had inherited the family ability to speak in front of a group. Her father was a wonderful speaker. When her brother graduated from Hamilton he got all the prizes for public speaking. Dilly gets tongue tied and can not think in front of a group. Once in the fourth grade she was asked to do math mentally but when she stood up in front of the class, she drew a blank. When she sat down, the answers came easily. Later she was to be in a Thanksgiving play and had learned all her lines, but when she tried to say them she couldn't so she was removed from the cast. [photo: Dilly and Violet Van Houten in 1919 at Far Rockaway Beach in Their Swimming Suits] Home economics was an important part of the school curriculum. Dilly began to sew in the sixth grade. Her first big project was a slip with shoulder straps which she made entirely by hand. Her mother realized Dilly had a knack for the art of sewing. For years she had made crude doll clothes making up the patterns as she went. Now she applied her new skills and began to make very Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 93) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/b18250c08d624c36a61396702d151e0c.jpg 22c72027891a457443d58d4a95f05502 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Her father hired a carpenter to make a dresser to house all the doll clothes. In the eight grade, Dilly made her first dress entirely by hand. Because of her short stature, store bought clothes always needed altering from a 14 to an 8. Often the sleeves had to be removed and the shoulder decreased. Always the cuffs were too big. Sometimes mother had dressmaker come in and alter clothes for Dilly. Now she could do some of this for herself. She even designed some of her own clothes. To this day she still enjoys hemming by hand. Cooking was also part of the home economics course but Dilly doesn't remember much about it. Later Dilly hemmed a skirt above her knees which really upset Pearl. As usually happened in the family, Andrew was brought in to mediate between the two. He decided Dilly should lower the skirt half between the two disputed lengths. Since she had plenty of hem, she was able to do so. Aunt Alice, Pearl's sister', taught Dilly to crochet and knit. Once Dilly knit a coat but she never liked it after she got it finished. [photo: Dilly and Marsden with Uncle John Dillenbeck, a Soldier at Camp Slocam] In 1918, a flu epidemic swept through the Army Camp on Long Island and through Hollis. Uncle John who was stationed at the Army Camp, Pearl, Dilly, Marsden and even the cousin, Martha, who was hired to cook came down with the flu. This left Andrew to take care of all of them. Not only was he not a good cook, Andrew was all thumbs in the kitchen and this made Pearl nervous. One day she couldn't stand it any longer and got out of bed to help prepare food. At the same time she got up a wagon full of caskets went by the house on its way to the Army Camp and Andrew ordered her back to bed or she would be the next one in a casket. "I don't remember what he fed us but we knew not to complain," remembered Dilly. The family finally got its first phonograph, a Pathe, which was not the most expensive but a very good player. Of course one had to use Pathe records on it. The family enjoyed the Red Seal records which were operas and good music. Dilly was in the eighth grade on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918. She remembers the headlines on the paper kept getting bigger and bigger as the war progressed. On Armistice Day the entire student body was marched outside and stood in lines near the cannon on the front lawn while they sang the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs. It was a moving experience.

Description An account of the resource [page 95] [corresponds to page 86 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] In the eighth grade Dilly had a crush on Lowell Crosby whose initials were L C. So Dilly adopted the middle name of Elsie. Also that year, the school saw fit for Marsden to skip the seventh grade so he and Dilly were back in the same classroom. Being in a minister's family is like always living in a fishbowl. Someone is continually watching, waiting for you to do something inappropriate. On Sundays we were allowed to read the Bible but nothing else. If we played Finch, we had to pull the shades "One member of our parish was Mr. Few. He had a daughter my age and a son who was Marsden's age. We used to chant, 'Mr. Few has two Few children!" recalled Dilly. Well, one day Mr. Few was talking about another member of the community not keeping the Sabbath and then he said to my father, "If I ever see you playing croquet on Sunday, I'll quit the church." Father didn't like that one bit. Pearl had been brought up in Hartwick Seminary and was used to this stringent code. The only card game she played was Finch. However she enjoyed parlor charades and music. While living in Hollis, Dilly was asked to wash the silverware after a church dinner. When she entered, the women were talking about her mother because they did not like a stand she had made on an issue. Dilly remembers that the comments hurt when she knew they were talking about her mother. She grew up thinking congregations as a whole are a pain in the neck to the minister's children. Another time the family had gotten a new dark mahogany chair with a beautiful green plush seat. This chair was by far their nicest. One day a family came to call and brought their daughter who was rather backward. The girl sat on the beautiful chair. All children were suppose to sit quietly while the grownups visited. The girl did a good deal of squirming but remained in the chair. When the family left, Pearl was horrified to discover the girl had wet the chair. She scrubbed to remove the stain and smell and of course that ruined the plush seat. They continued to use the seat and Dilly had to continue to treat the girl like everyone else even though she knew the girl should have asked to go out. In Hollis, Dilly developed her love of the theater. Both of her parents loved the theater, her mother operas and her father musicals. In the town of Jamaica two miles away they had 6 acts of vaudeville. However father loved to hike and insisted they hike the two miles to the theater. He always gave in after the play and they took the trolley home.

Description An account of the resource [page 96] [corresponds to page 87 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Once a year the family traveled into New York for the extravaganza at the Hippodrome. It was all very exciting but they never made an opera at the New York Metropolitan Opera. In Hollis, Dilly's mother worked in the public library while the librarian was on vacation and allowed Dilly to join her and even put away the fairy tales thus planting the seed for a future career. "While they were building a new parsonage in Hollis, we moved into another house. Across the street was a girl who worked in a bookstore and she would sneak me books," recalled Dilly. Then many of the books came in sets like the Red Cross girls, the Fielding books, etc. Dilly read everything she could get her hands on. when her mother found out what was happening, she put a damper on the fun by explaining to Dilly the girl was spending part of her small earnings on books for Dilly and that was not right. [photo: Girl Scout Dilly by the Rose of Sharon Bush in Hollis] Dilly found a Girl Scout Handbook in the library and wanted to earn those beautiful merit badges. She asked her mother to help start a troop but her mother was too busy with church activities. Pearl went to the school and found a teacher to take the troop. Although they moved so often, Dilly was never able to earn all the badges she wanted to but she did enjoy all her scouting, especially the camps. It worked out that the entire family was to be in camps at the same time - Dilly in Girls Scout camp, her parents in a church camp and Marsden in Boy Scouts of America Camp - all on the Hudson River. Dilly loved every bit of her camp but 12 year old Marsden had a rough time. He developed a boil on his backside and when he realized the doctor was going to lance it, he shouted "Get away from me you bums! You're not going to touch me." When the week was over, Dilly got permission to stay another week. Although Dilly never got homesick in camp, she did manage to get a plantar wart on her foot which was very painful and became a woman for the first time - both memorable experiences not related to scouting. When they moved to Lockport there was no Girl Scout Troop. Later in Johnstown, she was again in scouting and did community service by cataloging a junior high library. She was a Girl Scout Leader with 2 assistants and 36 girls. That summer she went to Camp Edith Macy on the Husdon River for training. The trainers were all marvelous speakers which added to a memorable experience. Although the tents were up when they arrived in camp, they had to take them down at the end. When unrolling the side of the tent to put it away, the girls discovered a nest of mice. Dilly remembered feeling something run across her face during the night but thought it was a dream.

However, after graduation, Dilly went to a YWCA Conference in the Adirondacks. One night, she and Betty, another girl attending there, went by the pond and decided to go skinny dipping and cool off. "Imagine me doing that," remembered Dilly. The entire family loved the Hollis parish. Andrew was a minister in a home mission church. While he was there they paid for the church so they could burn the mortgage. Pearl played the pump organ for which Dorothy and Marsden provided the air by moving the bellows. "I considered this a serious charge and paid attention to what I was doing. My brother would sneak the funnies in and read them so sometimes when Mother tried to play there was not any air." However, all was forgiven and they were sorry to see us leave. The church gave Pearl a platinum broach with an amethyst, Dilly a lavaliere with an amethyst, Marsden a tie tack with an amethyst, and Andrew a beautiful Hamilton watch.

With the marked increase in the number of Camp Kowaunkami reg- istrations for the 1934 summer sea- son, the indications are that a large camp will again be featured by the Fulton County Girl Scouts Inc., The applications show that a large percentage of old campers are returning and an unusual influx of new ones. The camp will have a four week period as last year with Jennie Mudgett and Jeanne, her assistant, back as cook and assistant and Dorothy Dillenbeck and Barbara Nash, both members of the 1934 staff returning for their second sea- son in the Iroquois and Chippewa units, respectively. Miss Dillenbeck Returns During the past year, Miss Dil- lenbeck, of Johnstown, has been employed at the Stratford District School and has conducted a special class there in outdoor cooking. This practical demonstration of the technique of a camp counsellors training course which she took at the National Camp Edith Macy last year will be of value to all the 10- 12 year old campers who will be in the Iroquois Unit with her and her two assistants this year. "Dilly" as she is known to all campers, will be welcomed back by her large cir- cle of camping friends.] Lockport While Lockport turned out to be Andrew's favorite parish, it didn't start out that way. Ministers cannot always choose when they will be changing parishes. Although they try to make summer changes to help the children in school, it is not always possible. Because the family moved the last months before school was out, Dilly and Marsden had to repeat the eighth grade in Lockport. Not only was this a degrading experience for the children, it did not sit well with their mother or father. The principal of the school was from military school and was very strict. He walked as though he had a rod in his back. Dilly was unhappy because they put her back but she loved the orchestra . One of the men in the church wanted orchestra music for church service. So he started an orchestra and provided instruments if the children would learn to play them. Dilly, who had gone to a music conservatory to learn the piano, selected the cello. Now the cello is a big instrument and Dilly was a small girl. Her brother laughed at her trying to play it and was very surprised when she did learn to make music with the cello. He chose the violin and so for a long time they squeaked together. Dilly continued to play the cello throughout high school. Her friend, Ollie Smith, also played the cello. His father was Dilly's piano teacher at the conservatory. One Christmas Ollie asked Dilly if he could carry her Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 97) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/5bc9577ae8758f0c06c7bf56d0d15c85.jpg 7db5cf6973b9acaf872aa2bc73836e68 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She said yes. When they got to her house, he presented Dilly with a gift and said "I think you should give me a kiss." Dilly replied, "I couldn't do that!" and the young man left. So much for the future of that affair! Dilly returned to carrying her own cello home. Mr. Haviland, the orchestra conductor, was a wonderful musician and expected top performance from all members of the orchestra. "We did a lot of starting and stopping until we got it right," remembers Dilly. However, it paid off because when the orchestra went to a contest, they ranked first - a thrill which carrried over into their adult lives. In addition to the orchestra, Dilly played in the pit orchestra for school operettas and sang in the girls chorus. Dilly didn't really enjoy high school as such. She was always bested by Marsden in the grade department. Her cello was the highlight of those years. Marsden was selected editor and chief of the yearbook and Dilly helped him. Dilly and her father were both blonds while her mother and brother were both brunettes. Her mother took care of Dilly's hair and was very upset when she had it cut her sophomore year in high school. At the time Dilly, age 15, was working in a real estate office as a filing clerk. She was filing in the drawers when the boss walked in behind her and exclaimed, "Girl, what have you done?" "Then I realized I had really done something awful," remembers Dilly. All the time Dilly was in school her parents selected sturdy shoes purchased two sizes larger than needed so she would wear them for two years. By the second year the shoes were worn as well as not fashionable. Dilly remembers hating the shoes so much, she would sneak her pumps into a bag and carry them to school and change so she felt more fashionable. Of course her mother eventually caught her and it was back to the sturdy shoes. She was also becoming clothes conscious. Dilly doesn't remember dating in high school. We would go to a basketball game and sit near each other but we always found our own way there and home. The cars just had room for six people so any more than that and someone always had to sit on someone's lap. Since Dilly was small, she was usually elected to be on someone's lap. One handsome fellow is [sic in] her class had a beautiful voice and went to Hollywood to play in B movies. At the same time a beautiful girl in her class, named Ryan, was a pianist and also went to Hollywood to be in movies. Everyone thought the two would marry. However, the girl returned and married the president of Dilly's class who was a banker. The high school was very large and they gave lessons in everything. The conservatory often put on extra teachers to handle additional subjects. When the school put on a musical, everyone in town came. Dilly loved taking piano lessons but she wasn't a natural like her brother. Marsden was very good at ear training and melody writing but Dilly struggled with them. She really wanted to take the course but only got a 62 or 63 in the course. Of course, Marsden who sang beautifully and played the violin very well, passed easily.

Her mother told her to stop thinking everyone is looking at her and just talk to the class. One day after Dilly stumbled through her presentation, a little bow-legged boy who had a crush on Dilly since 8th grade got up and said how good her presentation was. While his thought was nice, it didn't make her feel any better. Andrew did not like Monday because that was always washday and he had to get the water for Pearl who washed her clothes in large glavanized tubs which sat on a bench- like structure with a wringer in the middle. Pearl was very modern and had given up boiling her clothes, but Dilly remembers seeing her aunt boil all her clothes. While in Lockport, Andrew bought Pearl one of the first washers, a General Electric, with a big barrel tub which went around. A hose connected to the water at the kitchen sink. Now Andrew was free to do other things on Mondays. Dilly remembers their Regina floor cleaner. Using it required two people: one in the front to direct the hose and pull the unit, and the second in back to operate the bellows to create the vacuum to suck up the dirt into the canister in the middle. Dilly remembers calling, "M-o-m. Marsden isn't pumping." To which her mother always replied that if she was doing a good job on her end she would be too busy to notice what Marsden was doing. Of course, a book was always waiting and Dilly wanted to get the chores done as quickly as possible. Each spring the carpets were rolled up and put on a line so the dirt could be beaten out of them. Naturally the task had children written all over it. Old newspapers, from under the rugs, were thrown away and replaced with new ones before the carpets were replaced. The good thing about the task was that it was only done once a year. In 1924-26, cars were few and far between but one of the women in her father's parish had convinced the church members that their minister really needed a car to attend to all the parishioners and they raised the money for the most inexpensive car of the time, Chevrolet. The car was open with Isinglass panels to put on in case of rain. The family thought it was great. Mabel Gooding was in Dilly's high school class. She was a good friend of both Marsden and Dilly. One day the church group was going on an outing and the transportation assignments had been made. Mable wanted to go in Dilly's car but she was not on that list. However she told everyone she was and caused a big scene. Pearl caught her in the lie and told Marsden and Dilly they were to have no further contact with Mable. They both liked her and felt their mother's punishment was a little strict but they also knew there was no way around it. Pearl had been brought up in the Hartwick Seminary and was totally indoctrinated with the belief that anyone who lied, drank any form of alcohol or smoked even cigarettes would surely go to hell. Once again, these ideas were also impressed upon her children but moderated a little by their father's beliefs. At this time in Dilly's life she experienced the only event in her life she would not do over again. It has always been an embarrassment to her that she could have done something so terrible which impacted not only on her but on her entire family. The memory brings forth terrible emotions to this day. Dilly's father subscribed to The Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan, which Dilly loved to read. She thought the glamorous life described in the articles Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 99) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0922191a4c495ca3cdf40f09384e1538.jpg 66f75e722629e732b5d55ddabe69ea31 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scott Fitzgerald must be wonderful. She wondered what it would be like to wear long gloves and sip champagne. When Dilly was a senior she took Physics and was paired with a 23 year old boy, Scott Wiles, who was returning to school. He asked her to a dance and she agreed to go. They double dated with another couple. Instead of going directly to the dance, Scott was of age and took them to a speakeasy. Having him get them in was very exciting. Dilly knew she shouldn't be there but she had to see what it was like. They each ordered a drink so Dilly had a Tom Collins. After their drink they went on to the dance. Dilly told her neighbor where they had been and enjoyed the dance. After the dance when Scott suggested going back for another drink, Dilly agreed. After another Tom Collins, Scott took her home. Dilly went to bed enjoying the glamorous feeling. The next day her father wanted to talk with her and she knew he had found out about her evening. Indeed the neighbor girl told her parents who told Dilly's father. He was upset and kept her out of school for a week and then the school expelled all of them. At the end of the week, Andrew asked Dilly to walk with him. He walked her the length of Main Street and back again so all the people could see she was forgiven. Dilly looks at that humiliating walk as one more of the many character building experiences of her youth. Of course she got no sympathy from her brother, Marsden. But unfortunately, that was not the last Dilly was to hear of the experience. When she tried to enter Elmira College, her application had to go to the principal for his recommendation. Because of her expulsion, he refused to give her a good recommendation so she could not get in college. "I remember Father pacing the floor and not saying very flattering things about the principal," commented Dilly. Then her father was so upset he took the train to the college to discuss the matter with the college president. The president overruled the decision and Dilly was admitted. Elmira College The first social event on the campus was a formal reception given by the college president. Dilly dreaded going since he knew of her past. When she approached him in the receiving line, the president gave her a big smile and she smiled back as he said, "I hope you enjoy being at Elmira." He never brought up the incident.

One of her high school friends got tuberculous and was isolated at home. When she went to see her, Dilly's father insisted she go no further into the house than the porch. Not only did her friend die, but the girl's mother and sister got the same disease and it also took their lives. Years later Dilly, Laura Whitney and Pauline Livingston provided ice cream to the TB patients in the Nightingale Cottage in Columbus. In college she lived in a dorm with 2 classmates her first year, another 2 her second year. Her third year Irene Miller asked to live with her. She had the only phonograph player. Her senior year she wanted to live with her friend Fitchie, but Irene asked her so she stayed with Irene. Dorm life was very educational! Her best college friends were Fitchie and Gert. They were together so much they became known as The Three Musketeers: Fitchie was known as Aramis, Gert as Porthos, and Dilly as Athos. "All my college friends are still alive but Fitchie," noted Dilly. For physical education, Dilly took three years of interpretative dancing and a year of gym. During her senior year she was in charge of taking a group of girls, who didn't participate in gym, hiking. [photo: Carleton S. Burrer in 1929 at Westinghouse in Pittsburgh] Math was never Dilly's long suit. She worked and worked at it. Once her roommate who was planning to be a math teacher, took Dilly aside and said she would teach her math or she shouldn't be a math teacher. They worked and worked on it. When Dilly took a test with five questions, the last was calculus and she knew she needed to spend all her time on the other four questions and be sure they were right before tackling the last one. She passed but with a very low score because of the last problem. While she was in Elmira in 1926, the girls would ride the trolley downtown for 7 cents to see the movies. The ride took her past the beautiful Victorian Mansion which was the home of Mark Twain's wife, Olivia Langton. Twain knew Langton's brother who introduced the two. It was a match and Twain married Olivia. Dilly had another member of the Langton family, Ida, as her English teacher for the Romantic Poets - Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Ida was to be another character building experience for Dilly. She stood tall and straight (must have worn a stiff corset to hold such a pose) and was obviously over qualified for this teaching position. In addition to being the niece of Mark Twain's wife, she had a Ph. D. from Yale and had written on many subjects including Milton. When someone was reciting, the teacher stared out the window as though bored. If Dilly had liked poetry more it might have been easier but while she enjoyed Keats, she found Wordsworth impenetrable, Bryan exciting, and Shelley too philosophical. When the final grades were posted, Dilly had to repeat the class and unfortunately she had the same teacher. The second time she got through the course.

In its place was a parking lot. Such a disappointment! [photo: Carleton and Dilly Senior PromWeekend] Dilly remembers her first movies were silent films, with a piano player providing music. The theaters were usually a dirty hole in the ground type but the life on the screen made it all wonderful. The Saturday afternoon movies were often serials such as "The Perils of Pauline" with Pearl White, so one had to go each week to keep up with the story. Of course, all the girls had heavy crushes on the movie stars and collected pictures of them. One of her favorites was John Gilbert. When she later met Carleton she though [sic thought] he looked like Gilbert. "It Happened One Night" with Clarke [sic Clark] Gable and Claudette Colbert was a favorite movie. Some other films and stars Dilly remembers seeing are Adolph Menjou in "Blonde or Brunette," Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky in "A Night of Love," Great Garbo and Antonio Moreno in "The Temptress," Lillian Gish in "Scarlet Letter," and of course, John Gilbert and Greto [sic Greta] Garbo in "Flesh and the Devil." Her love of the theater was further nourished by the repertory group which put on plays in Elmira. Dilly remembers going to see the group put on a different play each week with the same cast of characters. The hero one week might be the villain the next week which often caused frustration among the girls. [photo: Andrew L. Dillenbeck in 1933 at Canajoharie] Dilly found some interesting notes in her diary of her 1926-27 year at Elmira which contain the following prices: Haircut - .50, Riding lesson - $1.00, Eskimo Pie - 5 cents, Trolley fare - 7 cents, 1/2 pint of ice cream - 15 cents, Danish pastry 10 cents, Middy - $1.60, and a Babe Ruth 5 cents. Dinner at Browns was 30 cents or 40 cents, dinner at Creighton's was 55 cents or one could have pancakes for 20 cents.

Alice only had an eighth grade formal educataion but she had the sweetest personality. She sought out rough stuff and sold it to antique dealers. Shortly before his death, Andrew returned to the pulpit of the Stone Arabia Church where he had started his ministry. He died in 1963. Marsden Dilly's brother Marsden graduated from Hamilton College in New York in 1930 with a major in speech. While he was in college he was president of Tau Kappa Epsilon and sang in the choir. He was a student in the C.M.T.C. training camp in Plattsburg one summer. Marsden had a jazz band which he directed. He also played the violin and sang with the band. Sometimes he would even wear his tux to school because he wouldn't have time to change. Well, he spent too much time with the band and his fraternity and didn't study so he failed his English exam his senior year and could not graduate. They gave him the test a second time and he passed. After graduation he taught English for four years in Hartwick Academy and taught Public Speaking in Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, during a summer session. He completed his Masters at University State of New York in Albany and became principal of the school in Ephratah.

Always a good story teller, it did not surprise the family when Marsden became a reader for Scribner publishing company. While there Marsden wrote reader's guides for some of the classics, including Graham's children's classic, Wind in the Willows and Galsworthy's, Man of Property. Marsden began drinking which brought back horrible memories for his father. Andrew feared Marsden would follow in his grandfather Luther's footsteps but Marsden was a clever alcoholic who still was able to be a good teacher and carry on a normal life. Unfortunately there were no children born to Marsden and therefore it was the end of Captain Andrew Dillenbeck's line. Dilly's Graduate Work The women in Dilly's family tended to be teachers. In addition to her mother, Aunt Alice (her mother's sister) was also a very strict teacher. "I've always thought Aunt Alice looked like a owl around her eyes. She was very disciplined and always wore a long black skirt, black hose and little black slippers which snapped at the side." Rev. Lambert Swackhammer and his daughter Catherine Margaret (Dilly's grandmother) were also teachers. Of course her mother thought she should consider the field but it was not for Dilly. By the time she graduated from high school, Dilly knew she wanted to be a librarian and have access to all those books. Throughout her youth, her mother had tried to protect her from the fantasy world presented in books and carefully watched everything Dilly read. One time she was reading Zane Grey's Betty Zane, and her mother saw the book. Pearl saw the girl on the cover and decided it was a love story so she made Dilly take the book back to the library. She did but later she would return, find the book and stand in the aisle and read it. She finished the book but her mother never knew it. The books she loves, she reads over and over. Some of the favorites were Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, The Last Days of Pompeii, Ben Hur, and Jane Austin's novels. Her favorite period in history was the Roman Empire so naturally she likes anything about that period. Following graduation from Elmira in 1930, with a degree in pre-library, Dilly went to Columbia University and worked her way through Library Science graduate school. A Masonic Scholarship helped with tuition but she needed other funds for room, board, books, etc. Her father knew the President of Wagner College and he gave Dilly a job in the Wagner College Library on Staten Island. She worked on Wednesday afternoons, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights and all day Saturdays. The job included a room and board in a house with other teachers and college employees, and a small amount of spending money. While in the library she began her love affair with Time magazine which she has faithfully read ever since. Now while her eyesight is failing, she listens to Time being read over a special radio in her home but still gets the print copies which she scans with the aid of a magnifying glass. The trek to Columbia University each day began at 8 a.m. with a walk across campus to catch a bus to the Staten Island ferry.

This meant she spent three hours a day just traveling to and from school. To pass the time on the subway, Dilly would study people's faces and try to figure out what they did, where they were going, etc. She wove some complicated fantasies about her fellow travelers but never asked any to confirm her ideas. Using the library at Columbia became a challenge. Instead of using the Dewey system to catalog, this library used Library of Congress cataloging so Dilly had to learn a new system. The boarding house was a new experience for Dilly who had lived a sheltered life. "One day, I remember one of the men who lived in the house was from Singapore and I was asking him questions about his background while standing in my doorway. He took the questions as a personal interest in him and the next thing I knew he had closed the door to my room, turned off the light and was starting to make improper advances. I quickly opened the door and led him out when the 6'3" coach, who roomed across the hall, heard my raised voice and offered to help if I had any more trouble." "The boys were studying to be ministers and I knew I did not ever want to be a minister's wife so I didn't do any serious dating. Besides, I had already met Carleton and knew he was the man for me," remembers Dilly. By the second year at Columbia, Dilly moved into an apartment on 18th Street. The art librarian was divorced and sublet rooms for $6 per week so Dilly took one. Her room was very small with only room for a desk, a chair and a cot and of course the shared bathroom down the hall. The window looked out on the inner court because those rooms were cheaper. To give herself more space, Dilly left the door open and her friends would come to her room to hang out. Her job at Columbia was in the foreign periodicals department. The library closed at 9 p.m.. One night after closing Dilly was on her way home and it was raining so she stopped, took off her glasses and put them in her case. Then she stopped at the corner grocery to get a bottle of milk. Coming out of the store was a man in a Chesterfield coat with a black velvet collar and a Fedora hat. He nodded to Dilly and said, "They'll be out in a minute." She was so surprised to see anyone dressed like this that she was really taken back when a second man came out of the backroom dressed just like the first in a Chesterfield coat with a black velvet collar and a Fedora hat. He, too, said, "They'll be out in a minute." Dilly went on into the store and soon discovered the store had been robbed and the only help she could give the police was the description of the men's hats and coats. Perhaps if she had not taken off her glasses she would have noticed something else! Her apartment was on the second floor of a three story building. One night Dilly rang the bell but the elevator never came. After several attempts she walked the stairs. Later she discovered there were robbers in the building, and they had the elevator operator tied up. Since Dilly was earning her own way through graduate school, she had little money for clothes but since she wasn't dating she didn't need many and the ones she had made were fine.

Johnstown Following graduation, she went home to Johnstown and clerked in a department store as she had done on several vacations from school. This was a rough time because she now had two degrees but following the Depression, jobs were very scarce. She spent three months cataloging and helping the librarian at Johnstown Junior High. Her friend Fritchie, who was a [an] excellent teacher, taught there. [photo: Dilly at Cooperstown Station with Second Chevrolet on September 30, 1925] Dilly also had a job passing out Franklin D. Roosevelt's slogans which people were supposed to put in their windows. Many let her know they were not going to do it. During this time, Dilly volunteered to play the piano for the Vacation Bible School in her father's church, worked with Girl Scouts and made a rock garden for her mother. Rock gardens were the trend in flower gardens, Dilly's consisted of three round flower beds with all the special effects. Dilly's father decided to teach Dilly to drive. While she was learning she flooded the car and stopped it right in front of the trolley, much to her father's embarrassment. That ended her driving lessons. Dilly Goes to Stratford Finally in 1934 she found a job. She worked through Franklin D. Roosevelt's W.P.A. as the school librarian in Stratford, a mountain town in the lower Adirondacks. All grades and high school came to the same school to get an ED-U-CA-SION. "Imagine me teaching ballroom dancing and arithmetic to farmers!" Square dancing was popular recreation in the area but they were eager to learn ballroom dancing so Dilly played the piano while they danced. Outdoor cooking was also an offered subject. "If you have read Jesse Stuart's books about mountain folks, you have an idea of what I faced," remembers Dilly. Many of the folks were squatters on someone else's property so they didn't welcome strangers to their door. Often if you did go to a home, you were greeted with a gun. One day a girl came to fetch the nurse because her mother had been unable to have a bowel movement for more than a week and was in agony. The nurse had tried before to call on the Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 106) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/e3c51b9c954c5dfd2d9385d70f5f4cb8.jpg 94d2fd92edba9768d25446ec98b28e98 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, when she got to the house the woman was in such agony, the family quickly admitted her. Later she was again forbidden to enter. The town nurse owned the house where Dilly rented a room. It was the only one in town with indoor toilet. The people in the boarding house consisted of teachers and the nurse. All of this was over shadowed by the thrill of visiting Sunbury and receiving an engagement ring at Christmas. Thus she and Carleton began their long engagement. Canajoharie At long last in 1934, Dilly got a bonafide job as the school librarian in Canajoharie high school making $1475 for the year. As we mentioned before, Burt Alter was so impressed with her mother's teaching skills, he offered Dilly a job without seeing her. In fact he never did see her. For the first 3 or 4 weeks, Dilly commuted to Canajoharie but then she moved in with her favorite cousin who happened to be an excellent cook. Four or five months later the director of the Girl Scouts and the physical education director of the high school asked Dilly to move in with them. So Dilly bought a studio couch which opened into a bed and they became a threesome. They were about the same age, had the same interests and therefore had a barrel of fun. Toward the end of the school year, Dilly mentioned marriage to Carleton since she had been wearing his ring almost two years. Since she thought they would be marrying, she did not renew her contract. One weekend, Carleton and his father, K.O., paid Dilly a visit and K.O. explained to her that Carleton's grandfather had put his foot down and would not hear of Carleton marrying. Carleton just sat quietly and listened. "It was like a knife in my heart," whispered Dilly. So now she had no job and no prospects for a future. She had a working relationship with the Wittenberg librarian where there was an opening for a job but some one else who was related got the position. Hartwick College, which her father had help start, was also looking for someone. A Lutheran college in Iowa was interested in a head librarian but Dilly didn't feel she was ready for that responsibility. Capital University With her Master in Library Science degree, Dilly wrote to all the Lutheran Colleges looking for a position in 1932. She recieved a lovely letter from Miss Dorothea Conrad at Capital saying Dilly's qualifications looked good so she should stop in whenever she was in the area. In 1935, she still hadn't found the right [image: 1935. Assistant Librarian Named at Capital U. Miss Dorothy M. Dillenbeck of Johnstown, N.

Along the way, he braked suddenly and Dilly's head hit the windshield so she arrived at her interview with a bump on her head. Miss Conrad and Dilly hit it off right away. "I took us downtown to a well known restaurant and she took us to the Bexley Tea Room," remembers Dilly. In August, Miss Conrad called and asked her to come to Capital University as the assistant librarian. It was ideal! The school was Lutheran, away from home and closer to Sunbury than she had been. "Miss Conrad was as tall as I am small," chuckled Dilly who compensated by always wearing high heels until she broke her hip shortly after Carleton died. Instead of a small office, she had a desk in a large workroom with windows all the way around. "I felt so lucky." Miss Conrad had a basement full of books which needed to be catalogued and assigned them to Dilly. Unfortunately they were written in German and Dilly had not studied that language. In high school she had taken Latin and Spanish. At Elmira she studied more Spanish and French. However Dilly's job at Capital including cataloging the archival books all written in German. She rented a one bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room for $20 per month, sent for her studio couch and made a bed of turquoise tiles supporting springs. Several months after she was in Columbus, Dilly called Carleton and asked him to meet her at Broad'El, a restaurant in Bexley. After he sat down she very quietly pushed the box containing her engagement ring towards him and told him she was sorry she hadn't sent it to him sooner. He pushed it back and then explained the rest of the story. Carleton's grandfather, Mr. Sperry, was widowed so Carleton and his mother, Daisy, had been living with him at 47 Morning Street and caring for him. The little money Carleton made was basically supporting the household. Mr. Sperry thought that was too many mouths to feed and put his foot down forbidding Carleton to bring a bride into the house. "They never considered I was working and could be a contributing member of the household," recalls Dilly. He went on to explain to me that he had his father tell me because he couldn't. I was hurt but Carleton was also devastated and embarrassed by the whole matter. He asked me to keep the ring and we began dating again and never discussed it again. Occasionally, the couple would double date with Carleton's high school friend, Hoyt Whitney, and Laura Crawford. Hoyt was the brother of Polly Horn's father, Bill Whitney. Seward Arnold from Westinghouse days, and his wife Dottie joined them and all became good friends for life. The first year at Capital, Dilly made $1000 per year with the rank of instructor. The second year she made $1200. Eventually in 1944, she became an assistant professor and made $2600. Dilly's roommate, Mary Jane Gorman, was dating Armin Henry Meyer who graduated from Capital in 1935. He taught mathematics and was dean of men at Capital. Although he was seven years younger then Dilly, they became good friends. She often was their fourth for Bridge. When Mary Jane and Armin married and he had a job in Cairo, he asked Dilly to be the librarian at the Embassy in Cairo. That was too far from Carleton.

Since it was very difficult to get business suits in other countries, Dilly would pick them out and have them sent to him. She watched his career grow with the State Department from Military Attache of American Legation in Cairo in 1946 to United States Ambassador to Lebanon, Japan, and Iran from 1965-69. He later became a professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreigh service. When Armin returned to Capital to give a speech, he visited the Burrer home. He had written the memories of his life as an ambassador and a copy of the book, Assignment Tokyo, is in the Community Library Burrer Family Memorial Room. [photo: Lt. Gen. Robert Eichelberger with Armin Meyer in the Brown Suit Dilly Chose] Dilly, the Mountain Climber Always wanting to be a part of her father's hiking and mountain climbing trips, Dilly convinced her father she really wanted to climb Mt. Marcy for summer vacation in 1936. It is the highest peak in the Adirondacks, and Dilly wanted to say she had climbed it. The following item appeared in the local paper: Local Party Planning To climb Mt. Marcy Two local clergymen, the Rev. Edward L. Swartout, Jr., of the Reformed church, the Rev. Andrew L. Dillenbeck, D.D., of St. Mark's Lutheran, Mrs. Swartout and Dr. Dillenbeck's daughter, Dorothy, are planning a climb of Mt. Marcy next Monday. The quartet will start the ascent at the western approach from Tahawus and expect to cover ten miles going up and thirteen miles descending. They plan to spend Monday night at the top of the mountain, making the return trip Tuesday. One of the interesting features awaiting them at the top, 5,344 feet above sea level is a view of Lake Pear, the highest lake in New York state, Avalanche Pass and Lake Colden, all picturesque sights.

Swartout, Jr., and his wife were young and in excellent physical shape because they spent much time hiking and in other sports. Normally one trains before undertaking such an event but Dilly just knew she could do it with no problem - after all she had been a Girl Scout. Although to get to Mt. Marcy, they had to climb several small mountains, the trip up went fine. The scenery was beautiful. The top was all Dilly knew it would be and the feeling of accomplishment was invigorating. Unfortunately, on the return trip, Dilly's legs were cramping badly. When she finally reached the bottom, she had to go to bed and stay there for a week. Her brother could never understand how she convinced her father to let her go when he was experienced and should have realized she was not up to it. Althugh the pain and exhaustion were not pleasant, Dilly says climbing the mountain was one of her personal accomplishments. "Once you've climbed a mountain, you're never the same. Everyone should have the experience." Years later she and Carleton climbed a smaller Mt. Snowie near Johnstown in one day. G.J. and the Director of the Girl Scout camp were with them. It was an easy climb and Carleton and Dilly came down arm in arm. Columbus had everything Dilly loved. She joined two music clubs and enjoyed the Bexley players. Columbus had good restaurants, ball teams, and public transportation which was very important since Dilly had not learned to drive. While at Capital, Dilly and her friends went to the Hartman Theater in Columbus. The seats sold out quickly so they would take turns standing in line. They could only afford tickets in the peanut gallery but the productions were not to be missed. Usually the Broadway stars toured with the shows that played at the Hartman. Dilly kept all the show programs and playbills and years later she had all her collection from the Hartman and those from Broadway bound. [photo: Billy Arnold, 1 1/2, and Dilly in Cincinnati] One of Dilly's special memories of her time at Capital is getting to attend the American Library Association Convention in Cincinnati. Although she had to pay her own way, it was a thrill to be in on the biggest gathering of librarians as they discussed the role of librarians. The trip was a double hit because Dilly was able to visit her friend Dottie Arnold, who was now the mother of Dilly's godson, Billy. Through the years Dilly and the Arnolds have remained very close. Dilly's father baptized Billy in the Arnold's living room. She watched Billy grow to Bill, go to college at Florida State University where a circus trained. Being very strong, Bill learned acrobatics and became the base for pyramids because he could lift the girls. After four years in the Air Force, Bill became a pilot with Delta Air Lines and still flies to London. He married a flight attendant and they have two girls now in college.

Being a minister's daughter she was used to doing without the frills. Times were rough for everyone so others were also doing without luxuries. Dilly needed ration books like everyone else. However, she didn't need to worry about gasoline since she didn't drive. "I fared better than most because I didn't drink coffee, drive or use liquor," remembers Dilly. Of course her friends did use them so Dilly was glad to be able to give her ration stamps to others. One friend would call and remind her it was time for a visit and to bring her ration books.

She remembers a ration on meat and tires and people standing in line to make their purchases. Her biggest concern during the war was for the safety of Carleton and her friends serving in the military. Since she and Carleton had been corresponding for years, this was not a change for her. Now she was visiting England and Hawaii through Carleton's letters. Dilly Looks at Dilly As all people are the sum total of their genes and their environment, Dilly sees herself in the following manner. I am a Democrat and love to follow politics. I love Masterpiece Theater and rarely miss an episode. I am a C-Span and C-Span 2 junkie. I have no ego. I consider myself professional. I believe the best profession is Librarian. I am non-confrontational. I will always stand up for a friend. I am aware of my weaknesses. I am definitely outspoken. I am easy to get along with. I have no temper. I am not courageous. When I believe in a cause, I stand up and fight for it. I feel women are definitely equal to men and really resented a Capital professor once saying women would not equal men. After all can a man birth a child? I talk too much. Would You Do It Over Again? If I were to live it all over again, I would choose to do the same things with one exception, I would be nicer to my mother. I was closer to my father and Marsden was closer our mother throughout our lives. While I loved my mother and respected her, we were not always close. Being a minister's wife, everyone dumped on Mother. While the ministered was hired to do his job, it was assumed his wife was also going to do all the many other tasks associated with the church-teaching, singing, playing the organ, preparing church means, etc. Later, to help with our education, Mother went back to school to renew her teaching certificate even though she wasn't well. When I was away at school I did write her a long letter saying how much I appreciated what she had done for me. The rest of my life has been very full - the ups and downs. Of course, I would do it all over again.

Dilly, who was always close to her minister father, was just recovering from six weeks of bronchitis which had left her weak and with a heart murmur. "I knew if my father performed the wedding service we would both be too emotional and probably break down and cry," Dilly explained. Seward and his wife, Dottie, and Daisy Sperry stood up for them. Tthe event was the anniversary of Karl and Daisy's wedding but this fact was not known to Dilly at the time. [photo: Daisy Sperry and her Dog in the Backyard on North Morning Street] There was no money for a wedding trip so the couple returned to Sunbury and took up residence with Daisy in the house they were to call home on North Morning Street until 1979. Dilly continued to work at Capital and stayed in Columbus during the week. Some of this time she lived in a dorm but for a while she stayed with the Arnolds. In all this time she was only alone for three weeks one summer. On the weekends, Carleton would pick her up and she would come to Sunbury and take care of the house. [photo: 47 North Morning Street, Sunbury] Although she missed Carleton during the week, she walked a lot, feeling very safe in her neighborhood, and had many friends among the faculty and the faculty wives. When the time came for Dilly to leave Columbus, the faculty women and wives gave a shower for her. In October, Daisy and Carleton went to Columbus and helped move Dilly, who was seven months pregnant, to Sunbury.

[photo: John Dillen Burrer] One hundred pound Dilly had gained thirty pounds during her pregnancy, so she was really ready for the big event when the time came. On the way to the hospital, she, Carleton, and Daisy chose the name for a son. They chose John after the Burrer forefathers and Daisy suggested shortening Dilly's maiden name Dillenbeck to Dillen. "We all like it. We never even discussed a girl's name," recalled Dilly. After 30 hours in labor, John was born at 6 A.M. in White Cross Hospital. "I remember thinking he had a pinhead but it was love at first sight." John made a big impact on the family which had not had little ones for a long time. John's Grandpa Karl Burrer, who rarely had time for his own son, had recently retired and now found time to come to the house and feed baby John. Perhaps he realized how much of his own family life he had missed. [photo: Dilly and John Age 5 months] With Carleton's knowledge of electronics, the family had the first television in town. It had a small 4" screen and the picture was so "snowy" they had to pull the drapes to see it. Carleton had put an antenna on the back porch which he hand-turned to the direction of the signal.

Of course this ment more to be repaired and more wiring. In 1952, Maud Horlocker, the librarian for Community Library went to Carleton and ask his permission to see if Dilly would be interested in being the librarian in Sunbury. "That was before women's lib, I guess," laughed Dilly. Community Library Mrs. Horlocker had taken a cut in pay from $2400 as a teacher to $1200 as a part time librarian. Mrs. Anderson also worked with her and left at the same time. So Dilly took the part-time job in Sunbury at $1.50 per hour. For the next 20 of her 22 years with the library she would work for $2.00 per hour or less. "I knew the library board couldn't afford to pay me any more. But I didn't mind and I've enjoyed every minute of my work here. Librarians have never been highly paid but the position carries a prestige which implements the salary. Besides I had a six year old son at home and Carleton had a successful career already going so we were able to handle it," Dilly told the sunbury News. What a change from the past 11 years of work in a college library to come to work in a small town library. Conveniently the library was located in a former meat market on East Cherry Street, in the same block in which the Burrer's lived so she didn't need to worry about transportation. She prepared her meals in the morning and put them in the oven to bake while she was at work.

Not only did I tie magazines, I shellacked covers of books following Mrs. Anderson's writng numbers on the spine with white India ink. It was my assignment to shelve the books. Having never heard of Dewey, I arranged the books in order by color, size and shape. The result was no one else could find the books so requests were left by patrons and I retrieved the books when I got to the library. I loved Mrs. Horlocker and Mrs, Anderson and would have done anything for them. I had started seventh grade when Mrs. Burrer was hired. Her first day I rushed in to see how impressed she was going to be with our wonderful library. Her first question to me was "What does this BH mean on this spine?" I replied, "Boys' Horse Story and it goes on this wall." Then I noticed the look on her face and quickly added, "The Girls' Horse Stories are over there: and pointed to the opposite wall. That little woman let out a big, "W H A T ?" After I repeated my explanation she walked to the next shelf of Boys' Mysteries, turned and went back to the desk with instructions for me to bring all the horse books to her. Thee next thing I knew she was using a letter opener to scratch off Mrs. Anderson's carefully written labels and relabeled the books. Needless to say I was very upset and went home fuming. I told my mother I had to quit and could not work for Mrs. Burrer. My mother, in her wisdom, let me rage on until I had vent my anger then said it was okay to quit but I needed to give one month's notice. I immediately wrote my letter of resignation effective in one month and gave it to Mrs. Burrer who made no comment. (I'll always wonder if the two had discussed the issue.) By the end of the month, books were no longer shelved by color, size, or reader's sex. The patrons could find their own books. Needless to say, I forgot about the resignation and stayed with Mrs. Burrer through graduation. By the end of the eighth grade, I became the first page at 10 cents an hour."

When more shelves were needed for the library, O.W. Whitney bought shelving for the back room at the meat market. The children's books were housed on these shelves. Community Library soon outgrew the old meat market building on Cherry Street and moved in 1954 into the newly renovated main room of the first floor of the historic Town Hall located in the center of the village green. The books were packed in boxes put into a utility wagon pulled behind D.C. Hoover's car. Several children, including John Burrer, brought their little wagons and pulled those full of books to the new library. The books were unloaded in the new library and the movers returned the empty boxes to the old library to be refilled. In this manner the entire library was moved in a day. [foldout: Tuesday, August 10, 1954 edition of the Columbus Dispatch LIBRARY RECEIVES MANY GIFTS FOR NEW HOME; MANY HELP MOVE LIBRARY INTO TOWN HALL] Much of the furnishings and equipment of Community Library in its new home in the Sunbury town hall were gifts from residents of this community.

Plans are under way to convert the present jail room and former fire engine house into the library. A small work laboratory and rest rooms will be installed in the pre- sent location of the jail. A new colonial entrance is planned for the north side of the building. A spec- ial enclosed reading room for child- ren is planned. Community Library was started ten years ago this June by the Sun- bury Y. W. C. A. whose members donated their time and work to run it for the first year in the former Kempton building located on the side of the present Sunbury News building. The present library building on East Cherry Street has been in use nearly nine years and the books added totaling more than 8,000 volumes, have necessi- tated the move to larger quarters.

Description An account of the resource [page 122] [corresponds to page 113 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Again the library grew rapidly and it became apparent more help was needed. Two board members, Bea Hottle and Mary Ellen Miller, were attending a Methodist Church Circle and noticed Evelyn Dawson and Virginia Owen and recruited them to work in the library. Later Ann Brown joined the force as more open hours were added. Six years after the move into the Town Hall, space again became tight. The village added the east stairs to the second floor and the library became a two story library. After the Farmer's Bank was built, books surrounded the council room. One day Mrs. Bond, the principal from Galena, visited the library and in a very loud voice exclaimed it was a waste of time for her students to use this library because after they located a book in the card catalog, they couldn't find it on the shelves because the books were not properly labeled. Dilly assured her they simply didn't have the funds to purchase a much needed labeler for Betty Brehm to use. Francis Ruthig and Dilly had known for some time that the county budget commission was not allocating all the collected funds to libraries. Although they did issue funds when the need was shown, it was suspected more funds were actually collected. [photo: Community Library 1954-1994] Board member, Mr. Spangler, went to the courthouse and discovered there were indeed other funds. He reported back to Dilly but so did Judge O W Whitney, Jr., who let Dilly know Mr. Spangler's investigation was not appreciated in the courthouse. Not to be intimidated by the Republicans, Mrs. Ruthig and Dilly (both Democrats) went to the next Budget hearing armed with the law, a good budget and the need for more funds to purchase much needed equipment such as the labeler. It took three years for all the funds to go to libraries. Being housed in the center of the square posed a political threat to the library shortly after the Sesquicentennial (1966) when the village was considering cutting up the square for more public parking. While using the phone in the window, Dilly noticed the stakes on the grass and called Bill Whitney at The Sunbury News to inquire the reason. He forwarded her on to the mayor and she was horrified to realize the square was about to cease to exist.

Others researched the plot map in the court house and learned the square was protected by the founders. Word went around that Dilly was heading up the opposition. When it came time to go to council, Dilly was terrified. While the parking was vetoed, the atmosphere was not pleasant. Rachel walked Dilly home afterward. Dilly earned a new reputation, 'If you want to do anything around here, you have to get Dilly Burrer's OK on it.' "I learned the end does not always justify the means. I was a public employee bucking the local government and it was resented. After that I kept a low profile and kept my strong opinions to myself," noted Dilly. Later the Progress Club met at O.W. Whitney's house and he, who had been for the parking, was shocked when he heard these women were furious at the idea. One member said she stole up to the square in the moonlight and removed the stakes. "I always enjoyed working with the members of the Board of Trustees. Many of these were farmers who once a month met to help oversee the operation of the library," commented Dilly. They were always there for her and stood by her in difficult times. Dilly served on the Federal Jury in Columbus for a three month session, traveling back and forth with Mac McDonald. During a break in the jury procedings, she had a cigarette and a Sunbury minister's wife saw her. Later when Dilly had to question the woman's daughter who was a library page, the lady said Dilly was unfit to guide young people because she smoked. She had begun smoking as soon as she had left home as a girl. In fact she remembers her first cigarette was at the Beakman Tower of the YWCA building in New York City. It was considered the thing to do and most of her friends smoked. Carleton didn't approve of women smoking but he never said anything when Dilly enjoyed her after-dinner cigarette while he enjoyed his pipe. Anyway the Board did not fire Dilly over the incident. Years later, her last cigarette also left an impression. The family was on vacation and Dilly became ill and was admitted to the hospital. When she asked her roommate if she minded if Dilly smoked, the roommate said she did mind so Dilly didn't smoke and never did again. There was never enough money to run the library properly. Dilly's biggest disappointment was to not have $72 to buy a chained volume of art prints which she knew the commmunity would have enjoyed. Circulation continually grew but never as fast as Dilly would have liked. Each year she carefully prepared her annual report for the community which was published in The Sunbury News. It not only contained the financial state of the library but a list of all the memorials received throughout the year. This was the beginning of the memorial program which is still so popular today. When Dilly retired in 1975, the library used the entire first two floors of the building. To replace her the board hired Rachel Edwards as a full time library director and Polly Whitney Brehm (Horn) as the assistant director to serve as a part-time children's librarian.

Harry Snow who did radio repairs, table work and odd jobs, grabbed the accounts ledger on his way out of the building but got to the door to find the fire had sucked it so tightly shut it took all of his strength to force it open. Carleton was coming from Columbus and heard the sirens so he rushed to the fire station to assume his role of radio operator for the volunteer fire dpeartment and learned it was his business burning. A collection of tools of the trade and other memorabilia made over 25 years were lost in the fire which burned all day, too hot for the small fire department to control. The brick firewall constructed after the last burning of businesses on the east side of the square held and the fire department was able to confine the fire to only the one building. The door on a free standing safe had been left ajar so the clerk could use the ledgers throughout the business day so all in it were lost including Carleton's Army discharge papers. The company was left with the accounts ledger and only $12,000 insurance but none of them sustained any serious injuries. In a short time they were back doing repairs and electrical contracting from a rented building but the loss was hard to overcome. In 1958, the business closed (see sale ad on next page) when Carleton decided not to rebuild but rather follow his uncle into the banking business. His faithful employees easily found employment. Harry Snow and Leta Barnhard worked for Suburban Power Co., successor to the Mill Generating System at 19 E. Granville Street (a block building torn down to make way for the Municipal Building parking lot in 1982). Leta went on to work in the County Engineer's office for several years before she retired.

Description An account of the resource [page 126] [corresponds to unnumbered page of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] NEWS - June 5, 1958 Public Announcement . . . Sunbury Electric is announcing its Sale to Close Out its Stock of Electrical Merchandise and Equipment. Since our fire in March 1956 we have attempted to hold our organization together and operate in temporary locations until a suitable building could be purchased or erected. Unfortunately certain circumstances developed which prevented our obtaining the Blakely - Williams corner and thereby put an end to our plans to rebuild at that location. Several attempts have been made during the past two years to purchase existing locations around the square but without success. Now, since all possibilities appear to be exhausted and since it is not economically possible to operate indefinitely on a "Temporary Basis", we have made this painful decision to discontinue. Mr. Walter Gross will continue in the service business and all warranty repairs on new merchandise will be taken care of as in the past. Mr. Harry Snow will continue with electrical wiring and construction. Both of these former employees intend to cooperate with each other and my own activities will be such that, at least for the present, assistance can be provided them during the transition. I will also be in a position to provide continuing service on television and other electronic equipment, which we have sold, so that none of our customers will be neglected because of this change. At this time I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have gone out of their way to be of assistance to us since the fire:-- To The Whitney Insurance Agency for their usual prompt and fair claim service and for the temporary use of their office space and facilities. To The Ohio Central Telephone Corporation who were kind enough to offer us the use of their new building until such time as they could begin installing equipment. To Mr. Jack Shipman, the International Harvester dealer, who offered the use of his show room on Rainbow Avenue. But most particularly t0 Russell and Mary Cring and The Four-County Company for permitting us to "share" their business space with them during the past two years. We also want to thank the many people and organiza- tions with whom we have been privileged to do business during the past 26 years and for the faithful assistance of our employees during these years. The opportunity to serve you has been most appreciated and because of having had these long and friendly relations, this decision to "Close Shop" has been a most difficult one to make. My family joins me in expressing heartfelt thanks to all of you who were so kind and helpful during the recent pass- ing of my mother and father.

When he made the decision not to rebuild the sunbury Electric Shop, he became an assistant cashier under the supervision of his Uncle Rudy. [photo: Farmers Bank - March 1974] In 1960 the old Farmer's Bank was razed and the present building constructed using the same vault as was in the other bank. "We moved out of the old building in the spring, and set up offices in the town hall, until that fall when the new building was ready. The north door was added to the Town Hall and a vault installed to make the building useful as a bank. That year Carleton was promoted to Cashier.

Description An account of the resource [page 137] [corresponds to page 128 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] One of the many friends Carleton brought to their marriage, was Fawn Ramsey Druggan. She was the daughter of Nelson and Annabelle (Gammill) Ramsey and grew up in the brick house on the northeast corner of Morning and Cherry Streets in Sunbury. Her father rented the house and grazed his horses in the field which later became the Sunbury Playground across Cherry Street from the house. Fawn married Charles Druggan, a well known lawyer from Columbus and moved there but stayed in touch with her Sunbury friends. [photo: 1969 Christmas with the Burrers Dilly Burrer, Louise Sheets, Fawn's Friend Tilly, Fawn Druggan] [photo: Painting in Fawn's Apartment of Her Riding] Carleton, Dilly and John often dined with Fawn either in her home in Columbus, or in their home in Sunbury. Through Carleton's suggestion, Fawn set up a trust fund for the new entrance to Sunbury Memorial Park and toward the continual upkeep of the Sedgwick and New Addition to the park. The unused remainder of the income goes to the Columbus Foundation. Upon her death, the oil painting of Fawn on a horse was given to the Burrers who in turn gave it to the village for the new municipal building when it was built in 1982. [photo: Entrance to Sunbury Memorial Park] During this time, Carleton began one of his many historical endeavors. He began to record various individuals who had spent a good many years of their lives in this community. Armed with his tape recorder, microphone, and his personal knowledge of the town history, Carleton often accompanied by his wife, would go to the people's homes and set up the recorder.

The party tells what he remembers in each place as he travels the community. Of course, many side stories make these tapes invaluable. Copies of all the tapes were given to the Commuity [sic Community] Library where is it hoped they will be transcribed and made available to the public. [photo: Retirement Photo from The Sunbury News] Retirement Although they were no longer bringing in paychecks after their retirement in 1975, both Carleton and Dilly continued to be active. Retirement gave them the extra time they needed to continue research on local history.

"We actually built ourselves a complete home in this addition with everything built in for convenience. I did discover we were too clever when I was in a wheelchair and couldn't get through some of the small passages," noted Dilly. However living in the original Burrer house had been like living in a museum.

For some time the wrought iron cemetery fence along North Columbus Street had been in need of repair. Carleton had the tools and the know how to repair and straighten the fence.

Description An account of the resource [page 141] [corresponds to page 132 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Traveling There was never an opportunity to take long vacations together when Carleton was running his own business. So following retirement, the Burrers took up traveling. Carleton loved to plan trips down to the last detail. In addition to booking flights, he also rented vehicles, booked rooms and arranged for any side trips using his phone in Sunbury. He relied on guide books and recommendations of others to select the best place to stay. One time the hotel was so drafty, Carleton used his socks to block the drafts around the windows. Another time we saw bugs crawling across the back of the toilet and that was enough to send us scurrying for another room. Even though things did not always work as planned, the couple still enjoyed the trips and couldn't wait to go again. [photo: Carleton and Dilly Enjoying A Late Honeymoon in Hawaii For their 30th anniversary in 1975, Carleton took Dilly to Hawaii where he had been in the service. "There an oriental gentleman offered to take our picture which resulted in my favorite photograph of the two of us," remembered Dilly. They traced the name of Sunbury back through Pennsylvania and back to England. "do you have any idea of how much fun that project was for us?" asked Dilly. Everywhere they went, the Burrers found people willing to open their archives and assist in the research. They joined a historic society in England and continued to correspond with their new found friends. In the USA they visited many of the Sunburys found on the map. In each town they sought the historians and told of their plight. Finally Carleton wrote the "Origin of the Name of Sunbury" and sent copies to all who had helped.

Unfortunately, after a very long boat ride out to the Isle, the castle was closed to the public because it was Sunday. [photo: Dilly on the South Side of Duart Castle, 1977] Carleton's ability to get behind the scenes allowed them to Visit with Sir Charles Maclean. He approached the man tending the garden and explained they were Americans and his wife was a descendent of the Macleans and desired to see the castle. It turned out he was addressing Sir Charles Maclean, the former chief scout who served as housekeeper to the Queen until December 1984. His appointment was only for his life but it gave him many unusual tasks such as planning the wedding for Prince charles and Princess Diana and overseeing the Duke of Windsor's funeral. "We spent a wonderful afternoon with him and got far more than a public tour of the castle," remembers Dilly. Years later this news item was in the local paper when Maclean stepped down. Royal Appointment: Queen Elizabeth is getting a new man to run the royal household and be master of its greatest ceremonies - the suitably blue-blooded 13th Earl of Airlie. He's been appointed Lord Chamberlain to succeed Lord Maclean, 68, who is a former chief scout. Lord Maclean, on the job for 13 years, masterminded every major royal event from the funeral of the Duke of Windsor to the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diane [sic Diana].

It is now owned by a woman who only opens it once a year for select people who pay a large fee which is used to continue the upkeep of the building. The trees and shrubs were so grown up the castle couldn't really be seen well from the road. Dilly was ready to leave but Carleton always had special instincts to get into places where others couldn't. Following a dog bark, Carleton led Dilly down a back road and were able to get a good view of the castle. [photo: Dunderave Castle on the Northeast Shore of Lock Fyne in 1977] Bible Land Tour In 1979 they joined a tour called the Christian Study Mission to the Bible Lands on which they retraced the footsteps of Paul. The group was prepped and told not to use any of the local water for washing, drinking or even brushing teeth. Bottled water was furnished for these uses. They were warned not to eat lettuce or other foods which might be washed in the water. From New York they went to Rome where Dilly got Montezuma's revenge because she ate a beautiful plum washed in their water and missed the Sistine Chapel. When Carleton returned from the tour he found Dilly better and returned with her to see Michelangelo's ceiling. Of course they bought slides but following the renovation of the art, the slides are dark and not nearly as brilliant as the chapel is today. Following Rome they went to Cairo where scrawny cats ate on the same tables as the people. They floated down the Nile on a barge and curious Dilly could see something under the robe of their guide. When the wind caught his robe and blew it up she saw the dirtiest underwear imaginable and was glad she hadn't asked. Next stop was Amman Jordan, then on to Nazareth, Galilee, Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, Mt. of Olives, Bethlehem, Athens, Corinth, and back to New York. For Dilly the two side trips to Masada and Petra were highlights of the trip.

One rides a cablecar up the mountain to hear the story of Masada. The Romans had the villagers of Masada cornered and cut off from all supplies. When their water was gone the villagers killed each other and the last committed suicide before the Romans could conquer them. [photo: Small Boy on Left Took Dilly's Horse] On another side trip to Petra, the Burrers rode horses over stone roads into the ancient city built into rose sandstone by the Essene Cult before Christ. The beautiful site was worth the discomfort of riding the old horses. When they got to Petra, young boys were waiting to care for their horses. Dilly almost fell off her's. When it was time to remount, everyone else was on a horse and they couldn't find Dilly's. The young boy with her's was still having a good ride. When he returned, Dilly had to figure a way to get on the tall horse by herself since everyone else was already on horses. The tour under the leadership of Dr. Donald Nash was very educational and good for two hours of college credit through Kentucky Christian College for those wishing it. Luther Heritage and the Oberammergau The following year, Carleton and Dilly took a tour to Martin Luther's Heritage and Oberammergau. They flew into Frankfurt then to Hanover.

"Crossing the Iron Curtain was like going from plenty to very little," remembers Dilly. One couldn't forget you were in enemy territory or shake the feeling of apprenhension which began when the passports were taken in East Berlin. The roads were not taken care of. The hotels were ramshackle with poor service. Everyone did his job but he didn't care how it was done. [photo: In Wittenberg They Had a Wonderful Guide Who Even Managed to Make Dilly (5 Foot inches) Feel Tall] The group went on to Wittenberg and to the church where Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the door. They traveled on to Eisleben where Luther was born in 1483 and died in 1546. [photo: Luther's Library Has Sliding Ladder to Reach Books in the Arches] They visited St. Thomas Church in Leipzig where Johann Sebastian Bach used to play and then his home in Eisenach. While in the area, they visited the Wartburg Castle where Luther stayed in 1521-22 and translated the New Testament. While the group was traveling on to Nuremberg, Carleton shared his understanding of Luther from his study and many readings about him. This fascinated the travelers and amazed the tour guides. Next stop was Salzburg where Dilly thought she would hear Mozart but no it was not to be. However, the scenery was beautiful just like the "Sound of Music" movie. The snow covered Bavarian Alps were so gorgeous Dilly remembers she couldn't take her eyes off them. From Salzburg, they went to Oberammergau for the Passion Play which is put on every 10 years. Dilly had devoured the Life Magazine feature about the play and found the actual event a little disappointing. Still it was a great thrill to be there and witness it.

Heidelberg was the next stop then on to Worms where Luther had defended his Protestant faith. This leg of the tour also included a cruise down the Rhine River before flying back to Frankfurt and home. Later, when he needed eye surgery, Carleton asked the doctor to put it off until he took his wife to Scotland. His vision was so poor he couldn't read the signs and traveling by car through the countryside was very scary. Once a truck side-swiped their car and tore off the rear view mirror. Another time they were wedged so tightly between two cars it took another person to assist in moving the cars to avoid scraping the paint. As always, Carleton had studied so much about each area, he made the local history come alive. They took three trips to England and one to Scotland before they hung up their traveling boots.

After retirement he continued with his series of audio-cassettes recorded with senior citizens around the community. He helped write the history of the Sunbury Baptist Church and the Sunbury Lions Club after spending many hours on the microfilm reader in the Community Library. Local newspaper reporters relied on his knowledge of history as well as his ability to accurately recall his observations of events in the community throughout his life. He served as his church organist for many years, was on the Board of Public Affairs, a precinct chairman from Sunbury for the Board of Elections, and a charter member of the Big Walnut Conservation Club. [image: 6 PACER DG Monday, December 30, 1985 Burrer recalls events in Sunbury By PHYLLIS WERNZ Gazette Reporter Historian Carlton Burrer is a lifetime resident of the Sunbury area whose in- terests go beyond remembrances of his lifetime. He is much more interested in how things were when his father, grand- father and great-grandfather were filling their days. His family has lived in this area since 1855. Burrer was born in Berkshire in 1909 to Karl and Daisy Burrer, but soon moved to Sunbury where he has lived ever since. About as far back as Burrer can remember is 1916 when the mud streets were paved in brick. Soon after, the invention of carbon arc lights replaced the old gas lamps to light up the community in the evenings. "There was continuous pipe rail, a hit- ching rail," says Burrer, "all the way around the square," where folks could tie their horses. "Everyone came to town in their car- riages, wagons or on their horses" where there were two livery stables situated. As the horse and buggy era was drawing to an end, not only were automobile arriv- ing but also a new "movie house." Burrer says the movie house was situated in what is now Fling Hardware and the Knights of Pythias Hall. The building was constructed around 1900 as an Opera House. When silent movies came, a carbon-arc motion picture projector was installed in the second story of the building and local women took turns playing mood music to accompany the films. Burrer remembers in the early 20s, when several folks decided they wanted water in their homes. Each person would lay water lines, some out of metal, some wooden, in front of their home and connect it with their neighbors. A water tower was erected behind the First Baptist Church on Cherry Street, and a pump was installed at a prosperous well, behind what is now Shaw Pharmacy, [photo: Carlton Burrer] which pumped the water to the tower. The water system became more trouble than it was worth, so the "Burrer boys," Carlton's father and his brothers, bought the system for $1 to take over. Burrer's wife, Dorothy, says that many years later the aging water tower came crashing down during a church service and the parishoners instantly knew what had happened. A large part of his life was in the elec- trical business and Burrer tells of how things were different then. He began the business in 1932 in a basement located on the town's square. "Most people didn't have money then, but they did want to get things done." so in return for electrical work, Burrer and his partner, Slim Crawford, many times received eggs, chickens or garden vegetables. Burrer's electrical abilities were passed to him from his fther [sic father] who had an electrical engineering degree from Denison Univer- sity. Being the pioneers of electronics in the area, they were usually the first to own the newest inventions. The first radio to be used in Sunbury was built by Karl Burrer. Carlton's wife remembers their first television around 1948. "We had to pull all the shades because the snow was so bad"" says Mrs. Burrer. Large fires are something everyone remembers and in 1926 almost the entire east side of the square, with the exception of one building, burned to the ground. That one building, known as the Blakely and Williams building, was on the corner and was saved because a fire wall had been built between it and the others. Twelve [crossed out] Thirty [written above] years later, in 1938 [crossed out] 1956 [written above], that same building which housed both Burrer's elec- trical business and the Satterfield grocery market burned down. While he was away in Columbus one day, a gas pipe that lead to an old gas light fix- ture, broke and the fire began.

When community leaders were looking for investors to build the Big Walnut Swimming Pool Carleton was there. Like most of the people who invested in the pool, he knew it was not a money making adventure but it was something the town needed and private monies were the way to bring it about. For many years the pool was the main source of recreation for the communities youth. When it was sold in 1971, the investors got their money back but very little interest on it.

She dressed in her grandmother's clothes and exhibited the art on the square for the show. Her dolls were such a hit people wanted her to custom make them but Dilly said it was fun to do one but not mass produce them so she declined.

Dilly who has several quilts which were made by members of her family decided to make quilts for her granddaughters. Music played an important role in Carleton's life. In addition to the skills in piano which he learned from his mother, he had perfect pitch. One time Dilly's cousin, an organist, was visiting in their home prior to his concert on Ohio Wesleyan University's new pipe organ. He sent Carleton to the other room while he played notes on the piano and was amazed when Carleton correctly identified each note played. As a young man, Carleton had done some singing on the radio. He was often called on to sing for funerals or play the piano. He enjoyed being in the Lions Club minstrels, community choruses and other community pageants. [photo: Carleton Plowing Town Walks] One community service Carleton performed faithfully was the cleaning of snow from the village sidewalks. Many of the sidewalks were quarried stone slabs which had become uneven with the passing of time and neglect. This made cleaning the snow a very difficult job. Commercial blades on tractors would hit the raised stones and cause a problem for the driver, the tractor and the walk. Carleton the inventor designed a homemade plow from two extra wooden leaves from a table. These were attached to a bar which had a rope attached to it. Carleton held the rope and when he came to the high edged in the walk, he raised the plow by pulling the rope. The wooden blades moved the snow but saved the stones if they should hit. Carleton made quite a sight when he went out to plow in his wool air force suit from a surplus store over long underwear, with extra gloves, scarf and hat. He plowed all the walks around the square and around the surrounding blocks. In more recent years the old walks were either straightened or replaced and Carleton's services were not needed but he still plowed his neighborhood. Dilly didn't sit back and let the world go by. She found time to lead a Girl Scout Troop, take painting lessons from Bill Fraley, and ceramic classes at Ohio Wesleyan. And she always enjoyed a good card game. The plight of endangered species was a constant worry to Carleton.

"While we were living our life, it didn't seem as though we did any more than anyone else," commented Dilly when she reviewed this section of her manuscript. "I think everyone does a lot more than they realize in a lifetime." Carleton even served as commissioner for the Big Walnut Girls Softball Association in 1978 which is interesting because Dilly is the true ball fan.

McSherry, only 51 years of age, had recently had a physical and appeared to be fine but a heart attack took his life quickly before all the fans gathered to celebrate the opening of the season. Like the fans at the park, Dilly was concerned for McSherry and disappointed that the game was postponed.

"I kept the early programs so I could relive the excitement of the ball park. I also went to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. I saw Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and many of the other famous players. When I first came to Columbus, I followed the Columbus Redlegs. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad, the parents of my boss at Capital, got a ticket for me so all I had to do was take a trolley across town to the ballpark where I met Mr, and Mrs. Conrad and enjoyed the games. Later when I worked at Community Library, I was lucky my hours allowed me to be flexible and I was always home for the World Series. Carleton never understood how I could listen to every play and be as engrossed asthough I were at the ball park. He would grab his crossword puzzles and work those while I cheered the home runs and double plays." Carleton enjoyed words so he loved crossword puzzles almost as much as Dilly loved baseball. Carleton's Life Ends After 43 years of marriage, Carleton died suddenly in his sleep January 13, 1989. He was survived by his wife, their son John and three beloved grandchildren - Tony, Sherry, and Carol. Since then Carol gave birth to Great-Grandson Jay Jay Taylor. Determined to be as independent as ever, Dilly was walking to the dentist's office across town and up a steep hill when she fell and broke a hip. The injury has continued to vex her through the years. Fortunately, John has been there to help her when needed.

Description An account of the resource [page 157] [corresponds to page 148 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] given up even when war destroyed their building, has always been an inspiration," tells Dilly. The church bulletin carries the following history of the church. HISTORY OF CHURCH Trinity Lutheran Church was founded by the early Palatines. These people seeking liberty and freedom of worship fled Germany around 1700, and were welcomed in London by Queen Anne. History states that by 1709 several thousand Palatines had reached England and were being cared for by that government. Again, as history so often repeats itself, was this group of innocent, persecuted people not wanting to be a burden to the Land that had befriended them, it was decided to send them to America. With the English government acting as sponsors, several ships set sail in the winter of 1709-1710, arriving in June and July at Nuttens Island (now Governors Island) N.Y. Many died during the trip and because of much sickness the remainder were detained there until Ocotber. Those who were in good health left this island, at this time, to find work at the tar camps along the Hudson River. The tar and pitch made here could not be used by the British. So, still after their many hardships, these "Poor Palatines' found themselves ill-clad, living in huts with little food to eat. All promises of a better life had not or could not be kept. In the spring of 1712 several families journeyed to the Schoharie Valley to settle on land promised by the Indians. The same story plagued them to this valley. Clear titles to this land were unobtainable and much controversy arose over the ownership of these acres. The trek began again, to find a land of their own. On October 19, 1723 Governor Bumet issued the Stone Arabia Patent to twenty-eight of these men, and soon after they brought their families from Schoharie and settled this area. Filially [sic Finally] they were home! First came their homes and barns, and then a place to worship together. In 1729, William Coppernoll sold fifty acres of land to these early settlers upon which they were to build a church. We find these names among the early trustees and founders-Martines Dillenbeck, John Keiser, Harris Empie, John Schuls, Nicholas Stemfell and William Nellis. It is my thought that these people certainly worshiped somewhere in the six years interim, but any earlier date than June 2, 172!) cannot be claimed. A log church was erected by the combined efforts of the Lutherans and Reforms, these early settlers being of both denominations. They worshped here about four years, but with more land being cleared and more families coming to the valley, a larger church was desired. A better church was started about 250 feet from the log edifice, but after the foundation had been laid, a dispute arose as to the naming of the congregation. An agreement could not be reached and the Lutherans withdrew across the creek and continued to worship in the log church. This log church was burned in Sir John Johnson's raid on Stone Arabia on October 19, 1780. Stone Arabia was laid to the torch in this battle, one of the last of the Revolutionary War. For twelve years this congregation worshiped in homes or other buildings and "at the Fall" (Palatine Church, daughter of Trinity Lutheran Church). In 1792, a new wooden church was erected under the guidance of Pastor Phillip Grotz. This is the church we worship in today. It is almost as if these pioneers, after all their sacrifices and hardships had found their promised land and built a monument to God. It is not unusual on a Sunday morning today to see descendants (9th and 10th generation) of these early settlers attending this very same church.

Description An account of the resource [page 158] [corresponds to page 149 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] So they came and helped to build a new country, surely with the foresight, as with each generation, that their children would preserve what they had fought and died for. Certainly some of this determination has been instilled in their descendants, for after 250 years we still have a very active congregation, with regular services, special services, Sunday school, two choirs, and three organizations. It can truly be said that Trinity is the Mother of Lutheranism in the Mohawk Valley. It is also easy to see why the church means so much to Dilly and her family. It looks like the line of ministers ended with her father. Dilly calls herself a C-Span junkie and indeed she keeps abreast of the news by watching television and listening to the newspaper read over a special radio. She listens to books-on-tape from the library and enjoys an occasional videocassette. Her neighbors and friends are good to stop for a visit and they help keep her up on community activities not reported in the local newspaper. The telephone keeps her in contact with family and friends. She keeps up on the genealogical research being done on the various families in her chart and helps see that the information is correct. FAMILY TRADITIONS Traditions are being passed on to the three granchildren who are now all living in Columbus, Ohio. After six years in theater, Tony is studying communications. Sherry has been employed by BankOne for the past year. Carol is studying to be a legal secretary. As a Christian family, the Burrers celebrate the traditional holidays which generally include family dinners. They also had big dinners for Burrer family birthdays, often with 18 or 19 people but these became fewer as the older generation died. After John was grown, the holidays also included Fawn Druggan and any others in the community who might not have family with which to dine. [photo: After Christmas Dinner in 1988 in the Burrer Home Dilly, Sherry, Hazel Davidson, Carol, Tony and John] Hazel Davidson had worked for the Burrer Mill so long she had become a member of the family and always had a place in these celebrations.

The family has always enjoyed dining in good restaurants. The Jai-Lai in Columbus was Carleton's favorite while Dilly likes Fifty Five At Crosswoods. Traditional decorations are a part of the Burrer holidays such as the latch- hooked Christmas stockings made years ago by Tony and Sherry which are fondly hung in the family room, Traditionally the family looks at Dilly as a collector. How does one become a collector? Dilly hasn't any idea but a collector she has become. "Years ago when I bought clothes, I always bought a handkerchief and gloves to match. Through the years I have collected quite a few. Someone noticed I had a miniature pitcher and gave me another. Through the years these have become traditional gifts and I now have 123. Picture postcards have always fascinated me so I have collected those along with the playbills from the theater performances I attended. I never set out to be a collector," warns Dilly knowing Polly also tends to keep things. Dilly's bookmark collection is easy to understand and it has been on display in the library and at community celebrations. While she does not know how she got started, she admits they have brought her a great deal of pleasure through the years. [photo: Tony and Sherry Burrer's Latch-Hooked Stockings Hang Below a Shelf with Two of Dilly's Cornhusk Dolls] Passing on the family tradition passed from Dilly's father and Aunt Alice Barringer to Dilly. She in turn is passing the knowledge on to her grandchildren. Her family room is decorated with the plaids of the MacNaughtons and MacCleans [sic Macleans] as well as a family tree lettered by Sherry showing the ancestors of both sides of the family. While it was difficult to start this book, Dilly sees it as another way to carry on the family tradition. She hopes the stories will help her descendants understand their background and then someday they will be interested in continuing her research and will enjoy the search and the people they will meet along the way as much as she and Carleton have through the years.

Description An account of the resource [page 173] [corresponds to page 161 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Amy Ann Gammill's Ancestors The Gammil family has been traced directly to Scotland but historians feel the original Gemmills came there with the Norman Conquest and are therefore Danish "Gammel", Old Norse "Gammal", or perhaps Anglo-Saxon "Gemal, or Gamol". In all those languages the name means old or ancient. Gamal, son of Orm, had large possessions in 1065 in Scotland. Within a century the name was spelled Gamel probably the founder of Gamelsby. Official records are scanty but by 1570 a system of Registers was in place and tracing the name became easier. In that year there were 23 different properties around Raith in Central Ayrshire parishes held by Gemmills. Fenwick, which is believed to be Anglo-Saxon, had more Gemmills than any other district in 1570. William Gemmill We do know William Gemmill, progenitor of the York County Gemmills, was the second son of John and Anna Ann (Barnett) Gammill who were tenant farmers of Thorniehill, Kilmaaurs, Ayreshire, Scotland. Their first son, John, was born out of wedlock, February 25, 1720, and the family was forced to leave Kilmaurs and journey to Irvine to escape reproof. There William was born January 16, 1722. Several years later the family returned to Kilmaurs and continued to raise their family of six children: Marion (5-21-1727), Janet (12-7-1729), David (August 17- 1732) and Hugh (6-22-1735). It is not known for sure if John and William came to America together nor do we know if William and Jeanette Hepburn married in Scotland or America. However, we do know William Gemmill with his wife Jeanette (Jennette) settled in Shrewsbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania circa 1745 on land warranted as Gammels Chance consisting of about 1000 acres (see map on next page). His brother John, a clock and watchmaker, first shows in public documents in 1750. William was a farmer, merchant, land speculator and a staunch Presbyterian. He served as Supervisor of Highways in Shrewsbury Township (1756, 1760), Overseer of the Poor (1765), Assessor of the township (1769, 1770, 1772, 1774), Assistant Assessor (1781), and York County Commissioner (1768). William also helped separate Hopewell Township from Shrewsbury Township, helped erect the county jail, and was instrumental in purchasing land for the Court House. William and Jeanette raised seven children: John (1745-1798), David (1750-1795), Ann (1752-1829), Margaret (died young), William (died young), James 1762-1799), and Robert (1762-1846). They followed Scottish tradition of naming the first son in the family after the paternal grandfather, second after the maternal grandfather, the third after the father, later ones for their uncles. Daughters were named in the same manner, paternal grandmother, maternal grandmother, mother, then aunts.

The houses at 60 and 74 North Vernon as well as those at 126 and 136 South Columbus Street were products of "Shrive"'s workmanship. All the houses have a basic 'square frame' construction and are designed with a certain dignity which was his mark. Many other houses and farms were purchased by him, renovated and then sold. It was "Shrive"'s character to rise early and put in long days. In addition to being a hard worker, he was considered a good influential citizen. On February 21, 1895, Mary died.

Description An account of the resource [page 179] [corresponds to page 167 of Flashback: A Story of Two Lives] Daisy Sperry's Ancestors The following Sperry family history was taken from Sperry Family, compiled by Daisy Sperry Burrer, Edith Bell Stickney, Eugene Ball and Isabelle Forry. Thomas Sperry was believed to be of Hugenot stock and therefore originally from France. It is believed he fled France during the St. Bartholomew's massacre and settled in Germany. From there he came to America where his will was probated in Hardy County, Virginia, on April 25, 1765. Thomas was married to Sarah and they had 12 children: John, Jacob, Thomas, Sarah, Mary, Magdalene, and Peter are the known names. Several years prior to the Revolutionary War, Gen Daniel Morgan organized his famous band of Riflemen and took an active part in the Indian wars. In his company were a large number of German Virginians from Winchester and its vicinity namely Johann Schultz, Jacob Sperry, Peter and Simon Lauck, Frederick Kurtz, Karl Grimm, George Heisler and Adam Kurz. Six of these men formed the "Dutch Mess" because they always messed together during the entire war. None met with disaster during all their severe campaigns but they did gain special distinction for bravery and loyalty to Morgan. Throughout the Revolutionary war they acted as Aides-de-Camp, never accepted officer's commissions. When the war was over, they each received valuable tracts of land near Winchester as rewards for service. Peter, Jacob's brother and Thomas's son, first married Mary Hannock who was born in Germany in 1766 and died November 24, 1836. They had four sons and eight daughters - Isaac, John, Jacob born 1789, Benjamin (or Abraham), Betsy Sperry Thompson, Sally Sperry Claypool, Rebecca Sperry Cory, ? Sperry Cramer and ? Sperry Wornstaff. Peter then married Lidia Wilkin born 1766 and died July 22, 1860. Isaac lived in Frankfort, Ohio, and was buried in the old Baptist grave yard there. Jacob Sperry was born in Hardy County, Va., April 24, 1789, and married Mary Wilson born December 2, 1791 to James and Harriet Jamison Wilson. They had seven children: Maria Sperry Forry (3- 16-1814 to 6-3-1863), Albert Sperry (12-13-1815 to 8-21- 1893), Peter Sperry (1-2-1818 to 12-21-1895), Isaac Newton Sperry (10-6-1819 to 5-1-1898), [photo: Jacob and Mary (Wilson) Sperry] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 179) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0918dae00ce558f37fa87fd61301fed4.jpg 158273357dc521fe06f8efd29d8b19a9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 180] [corresponds to page 168 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] John Milton Sperry (3-3-1821 to 10-12-1901), Eliza Sperry Campbell (1-17-1823 to 1-12-1916), and Angleine sperry Rees (11-24-1824 to 6-24-1857). Jacob moved his family from a farm to Utica, Ohio. Their neighbor, Mary Boyd Reynolds described them as a most estimable couple. "Frugal in their manner of living, by their economical management and diligence they became thrifty and prosperous, so that in declining years they retired from active duties and enjoyed the fruit of their labors. They were truly a comfortable couple. They shared the home tasks, Mr. Sperry tended the garden in season and did the milking and churning. Mrs, Sperry was a notable housekeeper, her home spotless and her table spread with the good things of culinary art. They visited their sons and daughters and their friends. Above all they took time for the cultivation of their higher nature, and the Bible was not a closed book in their house. Sabbath morning the gentle old white horse was hitched to the phaeton and they drove to Owl Creek Church to service." The men sat on one side of the church and the women on the other. Mary was a tiny woman who wore a lace cap, over that a plain black bonnet with black ties; lace mitts, a silk shawl with a fringe border and carried a satchel for "the grandchildren's cookies after Sunday School." When discussing marriage proposals was whether it was better to answer sic or] whether delay made the game more interesting, Grandma Sperry said with a laugh "When Grandpap asked me, I said yes so quickly that he was most of a mind to back out." One night Mrs. Reynolds uncle offered to escort Mrs. Sperry home as it was dusk. She replied "I have never accepted the escort of any gentleman since I married Grandpap, and I shall go alone." They loved and trusted each other implicitly. On July 14, 1873, their final ride was to go to Mt. Vernon for a Bible with large print so they might more easily read it. They were struck by a freight train near son Albert's home. Mary was killed instantly as she had wished and Jacob lingered for several weeks, dying August 2, 1873. He had said earlier he did not wish to die suddenly because he wanted time to think about the change coming to him. Aside from giving each child a home, the couple left $40,000 to their children. On September 3, 1839, their oldest son, Albert Sperry, married Matilda Vernon (who was born 6-13-1820) and they had 8 children: Eliza Sperry Crane (3-28-1841 to 9- 8-1861), John Wesley Sperry (2-13-1843 to 1845), Jacob Vernon Sperry (6-3-1846 to 10- 25-1918), Isaac Thompson Sperry (11-20- 1848 to 11-9-1925), Albert J. Sperry (9-10- 1851 to ), George Mitchell Sperry (6-13-1854 to 1856) Martha Matilda Evelyne Sperry (6-9- 1856 to ?) and Ida May Sperry 8-8-1860 to ?).

A big log cabin was built of the timber, brush burned and the ashes sold for 6 cents a bushel. Later a frame house and barn replaced the log cabin. Sperry sold the farm to Benjamin Tullos and bought another 207 acre farm from George Crawford in 1852 about a half mile south of Newark road. The place was named Evergreen Farm for the large number of evergreens in the yard. Sperry prospered and rasied eight children. To each he gave a 100 acre tract of land or the equivalent in money at the marriage. He was known for lending money to those in need and often canceled the note when the person was unable to pay. After the death of his wife, he applied his study of the scriptures to the writing of a book which he had published called "Our Hope." Albert was a firm believer in education and sent each of his children to Granville college as long as they wanted to go.

The Van Wie Mansion, Built in 1679, Stands As Sturdy Monument to Area's Colonial Days (This is the last of a series of articles on historic homes in the Albany area.) By WILLIAM J. BAKROW The Van Wie mansion, built in 1679 by Hendrick Gerritse Van Wie in what is now known as Van Wies Point, is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Albany County. The house has seen many changes since its early fort Or- ange days, but the original beams, holdings, doors and ma- sonry still are in service. It is a sturdily built house, as were most Colonial homes, and was constructed with an eye toward solid comfort. Van Wie arrived in Fort Or- ange from Holland in 1664, about the same time as the English were changing the settlement's name to Albany. He purchased the property from the Van Rensselaers and with the aid of his family and cheap farm labor built the mansion. One-Foot Beams The south wing of the house was the original structure. the one-foot-thick beams in this section provide an interesting contrast to the less sturdy con- struction of the later additions. The basement walls are more than three feet thick and have needed only slight repairs since they were built. The kitchen and back doors contain a maltese cross in their paneling-to scare off evil spirits. The glass in the windows appears old, but, according to the owners, is not the original. Most of the early furnishings in the mansion have been removed to the home of Mrs. Mildred Van Wie Wheeler, about a quarter of a mile north in Van Wies Point. These include a small trunk used by the Van wies to store valu- able papers and dated "Troy- 1828," brass candlesticks and jewel boxes. Served as Terminal The mansion was sold out of the Van wie family in the mid- dle of the 19th Century by Peter P. Van Wie. Its present occu- pants are Dr. R.S. Cunningham and Mrs. Cunningham. The Van Wie property once served as a terminal for Hudson River raffic in the Albany area. The dock owned by Peter G. and Henry Van Wie was leased in 1835 to the Hudson Steamboat Company. Today only the dock posts still stand and a sign in- stalled by the State Department of Education tells the story of this trading port. Marker Removed Under the terms of the dock ease, the Van wies were obli- gated to keep the lower river road open for stagecoach traffic. Because of the shallow condi- tions then existing in the Hudson between Van Wies Point and the Albany businss district it was impossible to sail boats any further than this dock. Freight and passengers were met at the Van Wie dock and shuttled by coach to their destinations. Another State Education mark- er stands in front of the mansion, briefly recounting its history. An additional marker once stood on Route 144 containing the same legend, but was removed after numerous complaints by occu- pants of neighboring homes. According to the complaints, many motorists were drawn off the main highway by the sign to have a look at the old home. The tourists littered the surrounding lawns with trash and were re- ported to have broken into neigh- boring homes while the occupants were away. Despite cries from local his- torians, who believed they were being snubbed, the sign on Route 144 was removed. Noted for Size The Van Wies were noted for their size and strength, with sev- eral of the men pushing seven feet and most of the women more than six feet. The legend persists that one of the Van Wies traveled to New York City to see a much publi- cized giant on display. Van Wie returned home a dissappointed man, having discovered that he was several inches taller than the giant and out weighed him by many pounds. The Cunninghams report that while spading the ground for a garden and terrace they have un- covered many Indian relics. Van wies Point is reportedly part of a once thickly settled Indian vilage.

The south wing was the original building and much of the framework and masonry of the original is still in good repair. The house is occupied by Dr. R.S. Cunningham and Mrs. Cunningham.] [photo: One of the original beams in the Van Wie mansion is shown above. The ax is of a type similar to those used to cut beams during the Colonial period.

Description An account of the resource [page 187] [corresponds to page 174 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Helen Van Wie's Family According to the Innes Getty Collection in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, Hendrick Gerritse Van Wie, the son of Gerrit Van Wie, sailed from Holland to America aboard "de Endracht" April 17, 1664 (from Dutch settlers Society Yearbook: Albany). Although his name is not listed as a passenger, the receipt for his passage signed by the skipper Jan Bergen is in the Renssalaerswyck Manuscript papers in the New York State Library at Albany. Hendrick settled at Fort Orange later to be named Albany and found employment on several farms He was paid to thatch the barn roofs of Peter Meess on June 1670 and again on april 1673. He married Eytje Ariese and to this marriage 8 children were born: Gerrit (1676 to 1746), Jannetje, Geesje, Ariaantje, Alida, Jan (1686-), Catrina and Henrick of Hendrik Gerritsz Verwey (1689-1715). Apparently the priest knew the proper Netherlands name which is written as Henfrik Gerriysz Verwey. On October 13, 1679, he was charged 50 guilders a year for 4 years rent from May 1, 1675 to 1679 for a farm called Dominics Hock which he then bought from the Van Rensselaers. This became known as Van Wie Point located five miles south of Albany on the west bank of the Hudson. With the help of his family and cheap farm labor he built the Van Wie mansion. A news article which ran in the Knickerbacker News in December 1950 is included in this section. Since the Hudson River was not always deep enough for large ships, the Van Wies had to maintain a dock where the passengers and cargo could be taken across land and make connection with public transportation. [photo: Van Wie Point Hendrick Gerritse Van Wie Dutch Colonist in Fort Orange, 1664 Built House Here in 1679 Located 5 miles south of Albany on the west side of the Hudson - 1958] After Hendrick Gerritse Van Wie's death, his widow married Andries Jacobse Gardinier, the son of Jacob Janse and Josyna Gardinier. Eytje had three more children: Andries, Jacob, and Arien. The latter married Elizabeth Van Slyke and their daughter, Johanna Gardinier, was to become the wife of Hendrick H. Van Wie about 1748. Andries received a large land grant early in Kinderhook. Jenrick of Henderik Gerritse married Hilletje Becker. Hilletje was the daughter of Johannes and Anna Van der Zee. Johannes was the son of Jan Jurianse Becker (who lived about 1635 to 1697) and Maria Adriaens who married about 1660. Jan came from Holland in 1655 as admiral for the Dutch West Indies Company. In 1656 he was living in Ft. Casimir on the Delaware River. In 1660 he was indicted for selling brandy to the Indians and sentenced to 500 guilders. The same year he petitioned to teach school in Manhattan and did teach there. In 1663 he lived in Greenbush, across the River Beverwyck (Albany). In 1669, Gov. Lovelace appointed him Notary Public. In 1670 he got a license to teach school Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 187) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/afe9fbac3d4226dd01f9839bf0f72d8c.jpg 6eee1067a72656d07468df4ba5997a33 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Amy was a good student and graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania as an Electrical Engineer. Upon her graduation she accepted a job with Bell Labs and they sent her to the University of Michigan for one year where she received a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering. She has developed her professional area of expertise around the design and design verification off both hardware and software associated with high speed digital network switches. Flip did his undergraduate work in pre-med at Tufts University and completed his formal medical schooling at the Chicago Medical school. Dr. Burrer's field is Family Practice. [photo: Don Burrer Family Don, Jeffery, Philip, Amy, and Nancy] In 1975 Don left Honeywell with two other engineers, founding inframetrics. They developed a product line of commercial infrared imagining radiometers. Using a patented technique to achieve TV compatibility their products were the first that could make radiometric recordings via standard VCRs. The company grew rapidly and in 1984 the founders sold the company. Don has authored numerous technical papers and has been granted several patents. He was Chairman/Editor of the 1984 Thermosense Vi-Conference sponsored by SPIE - the International Society for Optial Engineers and in 1989 he was honored by MIT with 98 other alumni who founded companies in Massachusetts which had "made a significant contribution to the economy of the state and nation".

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to pages labeled The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company of New York] Good Faith Across the face of every policy we issue is the unwritten endorsement--Good Faith. Good Faith is the most precious element in all human association, the priceless foundation of every worthy business. Without Good Faith, the clearest contract is but a scrap of paper: with it, a scrap of paper be- comes a bond. Good Faith makes Individuals honorable, Cor- porations generous, Nations great. To be just is not enough--Good Faith is better than its word, standing behind the spirit as well as the letter of its agreements. Insurance based only on the written contract gives literally what is paid for--a minimum. Insurance written and interpreted in Good Faith gives more than is bargained for--generous and understanding treatment. Behind the policy of a corporation stand the men who direct its destiny. When the guiding principle of these men is Good Faith, the cor- poration becomes an instrument of human betterment. The corporation whose policy is Good Faith gives the lie to the saying that corporations have no souls. BEHIND EVERY METROPOLITAN POLICY STANDS THE MASTER POLICY--GOOD FAITH. J. SCOFIELD ROWE, President.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page labeled The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company of New York] A Sound and Fair Basis for writing Check Alteration and Forgery Insurance The recognition of preperred risks has become a fundamental principle in the writing of all forms of insurance. Users of loss-preventive measures are entitled to discounts in proportion to the degree of prevention they employ. The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Co. accordingly offers to users of approved preventive devices, regardless of make, a graduated scale of discounts from base rates for Check Alteration and Forgery Insurance. Discounts are Substantial depending upon the effectiveness of the devices used. The Metropolitan was the FIRST Com- pany to give its Preferred Risks these discounts. The plan, introduced in 1924, has demonstrated its right to careful consideration on the part of check users everywhere and has been accorded universal approval.

Description An account of the resource [page 390] [corresponds to page labeled The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company of New York] The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company of New York Metro-Surance INSURANCE is foresight and prudence applied to the uncertainties of human life. METRO-SURANCE is super-insurance from which all uncertainties have been eliminated. METRO-SURANCE affords the maximum of protection against the carelessness of humanity, the accidents of activity, the catastrophes of nature by the enlightened "Good Faith" of its dealings. Insurance against casulaties marks a long up- ward step in man's rise from savagery to civil- ization. METRO-SURANCE is insurance raised to new levels of service, security and foresightedness. Insurance, man's collective effort toward warding off the blows of fate, is the best friend of the helpless child, of the defense- less woman - and of the strong man in his hour of need. METRO-SURANCE believes in "paying with a smile"--its contracts are the clearest that words can devise--then it writes "Good Faith" across the face of every policy. Insurance, the co-operative modern method of mitigating misfortune, is based on the certainty that prompt aid with be vitally needed at some time in every man's life. METRO-SURANCE believes that in emergencies "he gives twice who gives quickly," and places its reputation for "Good Faith" high above any narrow technical interpretation of its policies. METRO-SURANCE, by its unfaltering adherence to the principle of dealing with its public in "Good Faith", has acquired and holds the great- est of all insurance assets, an army of satisfied Policy Holders.

Description An account of the resource [page 1] [corresponds to first page of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The Origin of the name Sunbury -and its application to- The Village of Sunbury, Delaware Co., Ohio A compilation of information related thereto by Carleton S. and Dorothy D. Burrer, Sunbury, Ohio. Prepared, September 1975. From time to time, individuals interested in the history of Delaware County, Ohio, have inquired as to the derivation of the name 'Sunbury' and where it originated. One request for information came by letter addressed to our late Postmaster, Mr. Hoyt G. Whitney, from Mr. Rudolph F. Bluedorn, of Wolcott, Iowa. This was turned over to Mrs. Dorothy D. Burrer, Librarian, Community Library, Sunbury, for investigation and reply. The question was also posed by the late Rev. Harry F. Truxall as a part of research he was conducting, for inclusion in an historical sketch being prepared, concerning this area. Most recently, inquiry has been received from Kelsie B. Harder, of American Name Society, The State University College, Potsdam, N. Y. No doubt, this question has arisen in the minds of others interested in such matters. It may very well be that the origin and/or derivation of the name, and its relationship to our town of Sunbury, has already been positively established by others. Nothing other than the following interpretation is in evidence, however, to our knowledge. Credit is given, of course to William and Lawrence Myers, two brothers who came to Delaware County, Ohio, from the Forty Fort-Kingston area of the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They came as young men from their home on the Susquehanna River, purchased farm land here and platted it into a Town, giving it the name Sunbury, the effective date of record being November 9, 1816. Considerable, well documented information has been already presented in a very complete and intelli- gent manner, in verification thereof. Much painstaking and thorough research has been tabulated by competent historians and geneologists. Publications are readily available in local libraries and Historical Societies relating thereto. Not a great deal has been published, however, and therefore it is not generally realized, that the name 'Sunbury' had been established in Delaware County, Ohio, before William and Lawrence Myers came to the area. The original County Commissioners Journal reveals that, on February 10, 1808, Delaware County was set off from Franklin County, by act of The Ohio Legislature, and it was directed that on the first Monday, May 1808, there was to be an election held to elect Commissioners and other County Officers. The Act authorized Associate Justices, Moses Byxbe, Thomas Brown, and Josiah McKinney to divide the County into Townships. They divided it into three:- Berkshire, Radnor, and Liberty.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The Commissioners Court then, on June 15, 1808, formed Marlborough Township and on June 16, 1808, the Delaware Township. The latter having been designated as location (temporary) of the County Seat. Also, on June 16, 1808, the Commissioners formed Sunbury Township, which encompassed, all the balance of the County not previously laid out. Sunbury Township, when originally formed, consisted of what is now Harlem, Trenton, and Porter Townships and the east one-half of Kingston, Berkshire, and Genoa. On the north, it included all the area east of Marlborough Twp. i.e., what is now Bennington, Harmony, Peru, and Lincoln Townships of Morrow County; having as the northernmost border, the Indian (Greenville) Treaty Line, east to its junction with the eastern line of Delaware County. Berkshire Township, prior to 1808, was a part of Sharon Township in Franklin County, Ohio, and its boundaries had changed from time to time. By the efforts of Major Brown, it was then organized to include parts of what is now, Brown, Kingston, Berlin, and Orange Townships, and the west half of Genoa and the present Berkshire Township. It was stated to have been named 'Berkshire' because Major Brown and Col. Byxbe had come from Berkshire County in Massachusetts. The boundaries of the original Township of Sunbury are set forth in the early record and can be easliy drawn upon a copy of the 1849 Delaware County map, by following the detailed description set forth in Commissioners Journal No. 1. The resulting lines reveal Sunbury Township to be the largest individual portion of the County as then partitioned. Note:-The Individuals named above as Associate Justices, vis., Col. Moses Byxbe, Major Thomas Brown, and Judge Josiah McKinney; to divide the County, are taken from the History of Delaware County (Baskin) page 210. Commissioners Journal No. 1, from 1808-1822 indicates the Board of Commissioners consisted of John Welch, Ezekial [underlined] Brown and Avery Power, with Nathaniel W. Little appointed Clerk. The names and requested boundaries of these various Townships were by petition presented by certain individuals, i.e., On June 15th 1808- "A petition was this day presented by Nathaniel Wyatt and others, praying for a new township by the 'Name & Stile' of Marl- borough, of the following boundaries," etc. Regarding the establishment of Sunbury Township, the following is stated:- "Resolved by the Board of Commissioners that all the tract or part of the country [letter 'r' underlined] (?) within the following boundaries be created into a distinct and separate Township by the Name & Style of Sunbury to wit; beginning at the North East corner of Section No. 2 of Township No. 5 & Range 17 of the United States Military Survey, thence south with said line to the South line of the County, thence North with Said County Line to the East Line of Said County, thence North with Said County Line to the Indian Boundary Line, thence Westerly with said Boundary Line to the East Boundary of Marlborough Township, thence South with Said Boundary line to the South East corner of said Township, thence East to the place of beginning. The same is therefore Erected into a separate and distinct Township". There is no indication as to by whom the name of the Township was suggested.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to page 3 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] For proper orientation it is advisable to interject a bit of personal history of certain influential settlers who must have been concerned at the initial erection of these townships in the new County of Ohio. From the 'Shoemaker Book', which has been widely used by Historians doing research on early Delaware County settlers, it is a matter of record that a Carpenter Family, naming especially Benjamin and Gilbert Carpenter who were very prominent in the early history of the Forty Fort, Kingston and Wilkes Barre areas of Luzerne County, along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, came to Delaware County in Ohio before the Townships were named. Benjamin had been active in politics and was a judge, and substantial property owner in Luzerne County as attested to by his likeness appearing, along with other Officials of note in the area, as part of the decorative and commemorative frieze work in the halls of the beautiful and stately Court House in Wilkes- Barre, the seat of the County. Gilbert Carpenter was a capable builder (he is reported to have built the Col. Nathan Dennison House, a famous early residence, still standing and in good condition, in Kingston, Pa.) He was also an early grist mill builder, and owner, in the area. Ezekial Brown (one of the Board of Commissioners named earlier) had also been a resident of Luzerne County and had come to Franklin Co. in Ohio before the setting off and naming of Delaware County. In July of 1806, Benjamin Carpenter purchased two tracts of land from Col. Byxbe, located in the area that was to become Sunbury Township Delaware County, Ohio, while still living in Pennsylvania. He and his brother Gilbert sold considerable of their property in the Wyoming Valley (Luzerne County) area in 1807, and moved with their families, soon after, to the new tracts purchased in Ohio. His deeds were validated by Ezekial Brown, Esq., who had already become an official in the newly opened territory. It is reported in the Shoemaker [Schumacher] Book that many families moved about that time from this Wyoming Valley to the Delaware County area; Addison Carver, several members of the family of Capt. Nathaniel Landon, John Rosenkranz and others are named. A Col. Ridgeway was named as an active promoter of this movement. The date under the likeness of Judge Benjamin Carpenter in the Court House of Luzerne County is 1750-15 and that period represents a time of great struggle and turmoil in the Wyoming Valley Region as to settlers claims under conflicting jurisdictions of Connecticut Grants, Indian Agreements, Proprietary Interests and Rights of the Colony of Pennsylvania. The Pennamite Wars were fought in that area during that period over the rights of the settlers to ownership of property. The Carpenters, the Browns, the Landons, and the Rosenkranzes, all being influential people were certainly vitally [underlined] interested in the difficult state of affairs. During that period, in 1768, Richard Penn (who with his brother John) Penn,^had been named Proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania succeeding their father William Penn, founder,. By virtue of a Warrant dated 29 October 1768, ^they surveyed and established the 'Manour of Sunbury' on the North West side of the East Branch of the Susquehanna River, a twenty thousand acre tract in this Wyoming Valley, and there can be no doubt that the Carpenters and the other settlers in the valley were much concerned. Claim was made to the land 'for the use of the honorable the Proprietaries' of the Province of Pennsylvania. At the same time, John Penn laid out the Manor of Stoke on the opposite side of the river.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 4 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] After the Pennamite wars and troubles with the Indians, the disputes over Land Titles continued until a Notice of Hearings on Connecticut claims was held, offering compensation to the Pennsylvania Claimants. This was by Act of Assembly, State of Pennsylvania, passed 4 April 1799. Benjamin Carpenter was appointed Justice of Peace and a Judge of Common Pleas Court, Luzerne County, May 27, 1787. Myers Tavern was located in the home of Philip Myers, close by the stockade and Fort, and near the Ferry across the river at Forty Fort. This home and Tavern was the place where his sons William and Lawrence were raised, and was the common meeting place where matters of the day were discussed and Official Meetings of a Political and Judicial nature were held. Carpenters Hall was not far away and the 'Old Meeting House' in Forty Fort Cemetery was just up the street. All of this area being within the boundaries of the Manor of Sunbury, there can be no doubt the name 'Sunbury' was often evident in conversations and dealings. In fact, Legal Title of the Manors of Sunbury and of Stoke were known to exist until 1813. From 1752 to 1772 the 'territory' of Luzerne was included in the Pennsylvania County of Northampton. In 1772, a new and separate county was formed, about 50 miles Southwestward along the Susquehanna, and was named Northumberland. Three months after the formation of this new County (1772), Governor Richard Penn and the Provincial Council ordered that, "the surveyor'general (John Lukens), with all convenient speed, repair to fort Augusta on the Susquehanna (near the confluence with its west branch), and with the assistance of Mr. William McClay lay out a town [underlined] for the County of Northlumberland, to be called by the name of Sunbury" [underlined]. This county seat town was to be located "at the most commodious place between the fort and the mouth of Shamokin Creek". (This was the site of the Indian Village called Shamokin). History of the area states that Richard Penn borrowed the name of Sunbury from the English Village of that name, situated on the Thames River, about fifteen miles southwest of the City of London. Since Richard Penn laid out his Manor of Sunbury and the Town of Sunbury within the short span of four years, it is reasonable to assume that both places were named after Sunbury-On-Thames. This is especially valid since The Manors of Sunbury and the Stoke were of similar size and near to each other. In England, Sunbury-On-Thames and Stoke Pages (where some of the Penn Family are buried) are also in the same general area. Then too, in his Will, Richard Penn stated that; "I am the holder of an interest in Batavia House in the Parish of Sunbury, in the County of Middlesex". Mr. George Freeman of the Sunbury and Shepperton Local History Society, and publisher of - A History of Sunbury-On-Thames, states that Batavia House was located therein and pointed out for us, its location on a map of the area. Letter from, and a personal visit with, Mr. Charles F. Snyder, Exec. Secy., The Northumberland County Historical Society, Sunbury, Pa., gave us the first information on this 'Manor of Sunbury' and he is of the opinion that, since no one, to his knowledge, had ever migrated to our part of Ohio, it is very doubtful that his town of Sunbury had any part at all in the early history of our area. We found him to be a very fine gentleman and very well informed in all historical matters regarding families and institutions in the State of Pennsylvania. He is also the author of various publications and a lifetime resident of his area.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 5 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] Until discovery of the existence of this 'Manor Sunbury' and its relationship to the area from whence many of our early settlers came, it had been assumed that, since those settlers came down the Wyoming Path (now Route 11) along the Susquehanna, or by raft or boat past the Town of Sunbury on the river itself, the name might have been picked up and carried from there. Investigation indicates no valid connection, however, between the town of Sunbury, pa., and either the Township or the Village of Sunbury, Ohio. Ascertaining the Derivation of the name SUNBURY. On a trip to England in 1968, two years after celebration of the Sesqi- Centennial of the founding of the Village of Sunbury, in travelling by bus along the road from Heathrow Airport into London, it was quite a surprise to see from the window of our coach, a large sign, which pointed the way to Sunbury, somewhere off to our right. A few days later we obtained a small car, located this 'Sunbury' on a map, and found that, in spite of the very heavy flooding along parts of the Thames and in the south of England, there should be no trouble in reaching that particular area. It is only a short distance from Hampton Court Palace, famous as a residence of King Henry VIII, and of Cardinal Woolsey. Our approach to the town being from the north-west and along the river, we by-passed the section called Sunbury Cross, which is on a main road from Windsor through Staines to Hampton Court. On seeing a Church Steeple in the area we made for it, knowing that, in England, most of the towns have a church or cathedral in the center. St. Mary's Church was found to be located near the river between Thames and Green Streets, and from one of our pictures of the front of the old Church, the following, most interesting information is provided. Parish of St. Mary the Virgin Sunbury on Thames 1000 Years of Service In 967, Archbishop Dunstan obtained the Manor of Sunbury, giving it to the Abbey of Westminster. The Parish is mentioned in the Domesday Survey. The Saxon building was replaced by the present one in 1752, it being enlarged in 1865. The Vicar will be pleased to show visitors the church and its records. Since it was raining at the time and the air was damp and cold, we drove around the area and took pictures of other buildings and the river front park (which was mostly under water), from our car window. We had found the Church to be locked, and due to the weather, made no attempt to locate the Vicar to gain entry to look at the records. The town and its buildings, some of which are very old, appeared well kept and the streets were good with much green area. We adjudged it to be about the size of Westerville, Ohio, and a very pleasant place. Two years later, on our next visit to England, we again drove to Sunbury-On-Thames but this time found the Church closed for repairs. We had brought along the name of an Antique Dealer, hoping that he might provide historical information or direct us to someone who could.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 6 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] When located, however, we found him to be most un-cooperative, and in fact, disrespectful -- which is unusual in England. Our desire to proceed further being somewhat cooled, and finding that we had run into a shop closing day in the Town, we drove around for a while, this time in beautiful weather. We re-visited the Park, finding it an attractive place with benches along the river, and a view across to a large Marine or Yacht Club on the other side where colorful boats of a large assortment were moored. Quite a number of ducks were on the river and on the shore, being fed bits of bread and other items, evidently brought for them by the local residents. Being pressed for time, we then continued on our way. On our third trip, this time in 1972, we allocated more time and made it a point to make some contact to obtain qualified information about the area. This time we came by the Main Road and entered by Sunbury Cross, which is really a part of Sunbury-On-Thames but located to the north, away from the river and near the railway station and Kempton Park Race Course. Here we found a new and modern, completely re-developed business area, complete with Shopping Mall and Apartment Buildings, a new Post Office, and most important to us, an attractive new Library. This new development, we found, was to accommodate the northern terminus and a major Interchange of the new M-3 Motorway which will extend south- west through historic Winchester, early capitol of England, to the great port city of Southampton, facilitating travel to Portsmouth and the resort areas in the south of the country. On making ourselves known to the Head Librarian, and stating our purpose in the area, we were welcomed and made to feel completely at home. She recalled a recent compilation by Michael J. S. Collings and published by him, entitled:- A History of the Church and Parish of Sunbury-On- Thames, and presented us with a copy. We had a very pleasant conversation with her and spent some time strolling about the new Mall. We enjoyed examining the unusual Town Clock on its pedestal which had been removed from its original position in the center of the former road crossing and been preserved by re-installation in the center of the Mall and Shopping Area. We again drove to St. Mary's Church and finding it locked we located the Vicar's Cottage but found no one at home. Inquiry was made from passersby but we were unable to learn where he might be or when he might be expected to return. It was disappointing to be unable to look into the Church, but having obtained the pamphlet and becoming acquainted with the Librarian and more of the area, we felt satisfied to continue on our trip, this time to the south west and Lands End, and over into Wales. In may of 1974, by again contacting the Librarian (the Library is maintained by the County of Middlesex) by mail, we were put in touch with Mr. George Freeman, 41 Green Street, Sunbury-On-Thames, Middlesex. He was Secretary of the Sunbury and Shepperton Local History Society, who sent his publication:- A History Of Sunbury-On-Thames together with a map of the area and recent Newsletters of the Sunbury-On-Thames Society. Here follows, then, excerpts from these two Publications, which provide the recognized English explanation of the origin of 'SUNBURY'. The Saxons were, in fact, the true founders of Sunbury. We know this through a remarkably informative Saxon Document known as, the Sunbury Charter. Title A name given to the resource The Origin of the Name Sunbury (p. 6) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0476269f202b2c55770455fa81d6fed9.jpg a47fcae96533488ba9b7545574ad8763 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 7 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] By this 'Sunbury Charter', King Edgar (959-980 AD) granted to his faithful kinsman Aelfheh 'in perpetuity', a certain parcel of land, vis., 10 cassati (hides) at the place commonly called 'aet Sunnanbyrig'. The boundaries of the grant are described by a number of landmarks, including the 'Cloven Barrow', which not only tell us the extent of early Saxon Sunbury, but also the origin of the place name. The Charter's description hinges on its reference to "Sunna's Burh" and "Sunna's Haw". These Saxon terms suggest that it was a Saxon theign or lord, called Sunna who founded the community and gave it his name, as he or a namesake, gave it to Sonning and Sunningdale. Sunna settled his followers around his own pallisaded residence, or "haw", on the raised ground between the present Church and the Flower Pot Inn. His "burh" has been interpreted as 'a fortified place', which would suggest that Sunbury was founded during the reign of King Alfred (871-899 AD), in line with the King's Defense Policy against the Danes. However, I believe the word "burh" to be a corruption of the word "beorg" or "hill" and refers to the distinctly higher ground around the Vicarage, which would have been even more prominent in those far off days. At any rate, whatever the truth, we can see how Sunna's Burh evolved, by the time of the Charter, to Sunnanbyrig, and within a hundred years to Suneberie; and, finally in the course of centuries, to Sunbury. (The above statements of opinion by the author, Michael J. S. Collins) Apart from Sunna, The Sunbury Charter suggests other early prominent inhabitants of Sunbury in its mention of Eadbrybt's burial mound, Dudde's byre and Ecclesbrook. The actual ownership of the Manor can be traced from the reign of King Eldred (945-955 AD) onwards. Here follows the text of the Sunbury Charter, a document preserved in the muniment room of Westminster Abbey (London). The Charter, written mainly in Latin, but with names and descriptions in Anglo- Saxon, records the grant of land at Sunnanbyrig by King Edgar to his kinsman, Aelfheh. A rough translation of the Charter is given below. I, Eadgar, King of Britain, have granted in perpetuity, a certain parcel of land at the place commonly called Sunnanbyrig, to my faithful kinsman Aelfheh, for his faithful service, so that as long as his life lasts, he may realize his desires and possess it with all its advantages, to wit; meadows, pastures, and woods, and at the end of his life leave it undiminished to whatever heirs he may desire. If anyone should desire to divert this our gift to another purpose than that which we have determined, let him be deprived of the fellow- ship of God's Holy Church and be forever punished with the eternal flames of the miserable pit, together with Judas, Christ's betrayer, and his accomplices unless he satisfactorily amend his transgression against our decree. This, then, is the Sunbury Charter of A.d. 962. The last sentence of the preamble reads:- "This Charter was written in the year of Our Lord's Incarnation 962 with the consent of the witnesses whose names are noted below". One of the signatures was St. Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 8 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The next recorded mention of Sunbury is in the Domesday Book, or Survey, which was a folio of 760 pages measuring 15 1/2 by 10 1/2, compiled by the Normans after their Conquest of England by Edward the Confessor (1043-1066 AD). The entry for Sunbury reads:- "The Abbot of Westminster holds the Manor of Sunberie which is 7 hides. The land is 6 caracates, 4 hides are in demense on which there is one plough. The Villeins have 4 ploughs, The Priest has 1/2 virgate. The 8 Villeins have a virgate between them. The meadow land is equal to 6 carucates and there is pasture for the cattle of the manor". Applying modern designations and values, the Survey can be translated thus:- "The Abbot of Westminster owns the manor of Sunbury which comprises about 840 acres. The ploughed land is about 600 acres. 480 acres are occupied by freeholders who have one plough between them and the tenants have four ploughs. Eight tenants have 32 acres each, and the other tenants 16 acres each. The Priest also has 16 acres. The meadow land is equal to about 600 acres and there is pasture for the cattle of the manor. (the text of Sunbury Charter and information from the Domesday Survey are taken from the booklet by Mr. George Freeman) The descriptions and other information in the two booklets can be read in the Community Library, Sunbury, Ohio. They provide much greater detail than can be included in this compilation. ***In Summary*** The history of Sunbury in England is described as going back to the Roman era, the Saxon Invasion and warring between the Saxons and the Danes. Then through the Norman Conquest and continuing to this day. The Manor of Sunbury, established as a Proprietors Holding, by the Penn Family, was in evidence from 1768 to about 1813 in the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and encompassed the area whence came the earliest pioneer families to settle in Delaware County, Ohio. Richard Penn, Governor of Pennsylvania and his brother, John Penn, Lieutenant Governor came from Middlesex in England, which included the Parish (or Manor) of Sunbury. Richard Penn held interest in Batavia House in this Parish of Sunbury and identified himself with the areas Stanwell and Stoke, both located nearby. There can be no doubt that Judge Carpenter was acquainted with Moses Byxbe, Major Brown, and Ezekial Brown and possibly others who were responsible for naming the Township of Sunbury in Delaware County, Ohio in 1808. Judge Carpenter had purchased 2 tracts of land from Mr. Byxbe in 1806 while still residing in the 'Manor of Sunbury' area in Pennsylvania, and had the deeds thereto acknowledged by Ezekial Brown, Esquire, then a Justice of the Peace in Franklin County, Ohio. After moving to Ohio in 1807, Judge Carpenter resided in Sunbury Township, one half mile north of the area which was to become the town of Sunbury and to be laid out by William and Lawrence Myers in whose family home Judge Carpenter probably attended meetings back in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania. It is recorded that in Benjamin Carpenters will, made in Sunbury, Ezekial Brown was named as executor. In 1812, John S. Brown, son of Ezekial Brown (formerly of Luzerne Co. Pa.) married Sarah, daughter of Judge and Mary Ferrier Carpenter after the families had moved to Ohio and were residing in Sunbury Township. The Browns lived just north of the area, later to become Zoar (which in time became Galena).

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 9 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] These families, or any other coming to Ohio before 1808,could have been responsible for carrying forward the name from the Manor of Sunbury to the Township of Sunbury when it was established in 1808. This Township of Sunbury, which had been set off June 16, 1808, was later diminished piece by piece in the formation of what is now; (Indian) Treaty Line in what is now Morrow County, in addition to; All of Harlem, Trenton, Porter, and the east half of Berkshire and Genoa Townships. The Delaware County History of 1880 by Baskin states that, by 1821 it had been whittled until all that remained was the east half of Berkshire Township and all of Trenton. Some time between 1821 and 1832 (the records of Commissioners proceedings ^were stated to have disappeared for the period 1822-1835) when Trenton Township was named; the western one-half-section was added to Berkshire to compensate it for two quarters loss in a prior transfer, one to Brown and one to Kingston. In contradiction to Baskin, however, it has been found that that portion of the early Commissioners Proceedings, i.e., Book Numbers two and three do exist, and positively establish the following:- From Book No. 2- Page 79, dated March 8, 1826; "Ordered by the Board, that all that part of Sunbury Township which lies in the 17th Range, U. S. Military lands, be and the same is, attached to and made a part of Berkshire Township." On page No. 33 of Book No. 3, dated December 6, 1832, we find the following- ing; "Gilbert VanDorn presented a petition of the majority of the electors of Sunbury Township, praying for the alteration of the name of Sunbury to Trenton". Said petition having been read and carefully examined. It was considered by the Board that the prayer of the Petitioners was reasonable and in every respect, comfortable with the law. It was ordered by said Board that the name of the Township of Sunbury be changed to that of Trenton Township, and that said Township be recorded and established as Trenton Township. This action of the Commissioners at that time, completely extinguished the name of Sunbury as a Township in Delaware County, Ohio. The Town of Sunbury as well as that of Zoar, both being laid out in 1816 were originally in the Township of Sunbury, that portion not being transferred to Berkshire Township until March 1826. Berkshire has always been in Berkshire Township. In a period of only 24 years this, once very large Township of Sunbury was eliminated by divisions, transfers, and change of name. Then Manor of Sunbury, and original Proprietor's holding in the Province (and later, State) of Pennsylvania was confiscated by the newly established State, along with other Manors held by the Penn Family, with agreed compensation granted in payment for same. This was stated to be the largest single holding of property ever to be acquired. Now, there has been a new Township of Sunbury established, 166 years after the one originally erected by the first Board of Commissioners in 1808. This new Township has boundaries concurrent with, and the same as, those of the Village of Sunbury, Delaware County, Ohio. The Board of Commissioners in 1974 on petition of the Village, voted approval and set off the new Township from that of Berkshire thus establishing the Village and Township [underlined] of Sunbury, Delaware County, Ohio.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 10 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] Information accumulated on other existing Sunburys is, as follows:- Sunbury, Gates County, N. Carolina (originally named Sunsbury) was settled on grants of land issued to William Hunter in 1695 and 1701. Mr. William T. Cross, historian and lifetime resident of Gates County states that William Hunter Sr., built his home, some three quarters of a mile from the present Village (pop.450). He lived there with his son William Jr., his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob. Jacob built a new house at a spot which is in the center of the present village. Tradition has it that, about 1770 a Sun Flower came up in his yard and that he named the place Sunsbury. Mr. Frank Nixon, retired Post- master, lifetime resident and descendent of early settlers, stated that when the new Post Office was built, the name was officially changed to Sunbury. Other early settlers in the area (which was set off from Virginia about 1717) were the Costens, all from Nasemond County, Virginia, some twenty miles distant. Isle of Wight County, Va. joins Nasemond County and this is separated from Jamestown by the James River. The Village of Sunbury, therefore, is not far from the earliest settlements of our Country. People came to the area of Sunbury and Gates County mostly from old Virginia and were all of English stock. At one time, prior to the Civil War, the little village contained two well known schools and it has always been known as a cultural center. Conversations with Mr. Cross, Mr. Nixon and with a Miss Costen, retired school teacher and a librarian, reveal that since their area was settled by English people, their Sunsbury could have been carried forward from Sunbury in England. No direct line of transfer has been established however, and they have no knowledge of any link by people coming from their area to ours. Another Sunsbury (sometimes spelled Sunbury) is Montgomery County, Ohio [underlined] and although it was a prior settlement, it has in recent years become secondary to its neighbor, Germantown. Both are in German Township and separated by Twin Creek. Sunsbury was platted by Jacob Beard and the area settled mostly by people of German ancestry. A visit with Mr. Carl Michael, decendant of Jacob Beard, member of Germantown Historical Society and on the Board of the Library, revealed that it has not been discovered how the original settlement was named. A Mr. Gunkel was the Proprietor who named Germantown when laid out. There can be no connection ascertained between their area and our [underlined] Sunbury in Delaware County. The Sunbury in Cedar County (near Davenport) in Iowa is said to have been named by a Civil Engineer who built a railroad through that area, just north of Interstate 80. Correspondence with Mr. Rudolph Bluedorn, retired Postal Route Carrier (for 44 years), in 1970 and in 1975 revealed also that it had been stated that their name had been carried forward from Sunbury, Pennsylvania. He states that Ambrose C. Fulton, brother of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam boat, may have named the town. Mr. Fulton was an engineer who came to Davenport from Chester County, Pennsylvania. He made soundings for the pillars for the first bridge across the Mississippi River at Davenport, helped to promote the first railroad west of the river, built the first flour mill, the first packing house, the first hotel and many other establishments. He was a leader and promoter of public enterprises and active in inducing other settlers to come to Iowa.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 11 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] In 1901 the population of Sunbury, Iowa was 25, but had several places of business including a Bank, Post Office, Saloon, Dance Hall, Hotel & Livery Stable, Lumber Yard, and other allied enterprises common to rural areas at that time. It is a beautiful farming community and the people are mostly of German descent. Across the river, in Illinois the area is predominately Swedish. Today the population of their Sunbury is 90, the Bank closed during the depression (1929-1933). The building is there but the windows are broken out. One house is vacant and its windows are out, he states, being mostly a 'bedroom' town with 17 houses, 2 stores, and Post Office and a few businesses catering to a farming community. Our informant, Mr. Bluedorn's investigations have determined that his neighboring town of Walcott, Iowa was named by a William Wolcott who gave $500.00 to the community for a school if they would name the town in his honor. Their earliest settlers were from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Their postmaster came from Muskingham Co. and a Mr. George E. Peck, their Depot Agent and Telegrapher, was from Starke County. The Post Office on their early Stage Line was called Amity, after Amity, Ohio. Mr. Bluedorn has done considerable research concerning this area and the origin of the name Sunbury, and states that while he has been in touch with the Royal Museum and the Urban District Council Office in Sunbury-On-Thames, we have provided the most information he has received, to date, in his effort to clear up the Sunbury puzzle. Sunbury, Livingston County, Illinois is near Streator, South West of Chicago. Although no visit or contact has been made there, since other towns with English names are nearby, we assume the origin of their town name is the same as ours. Settlement of that area would have had to be later than here and could not have affected the route by which our Sunbury was named. Sunbury in Victoria County (?)Australia which is near, and north of, Melbourne is also surrounded by names of British origin and since its population has grown from 2385 in 1964 to 5099 as of the 1971 Census, it must be of recent origin. According to information we have from Sunbury in England, residents there are in contact, viz., requests for recent publications of the Sunbury-Sheparton History Society have been received from Sunbury, Australia. The only remaining Sunbury we have found listed world-wide is the County in New Brunswick, Canada. There also, this area is completely surrounded by other Counties with names: Victoria, Gloucester, Kent, Queens, Northumberland, Westmoreland, Kings, York, Albert, and Carleton. Only two are indicated to be French, so there can be no question as to the origin of the name, Sunbury County, in N.B. Canada.

Description An account of the resource [page 1] [corresponds to unnumbered page 1] THE SUNBURY AND GALENA COMMUNITIES And how they were in 1938 When Sunbury Lions Club originated FDR was in the White House in Washington, all of us were working our way out of the Great Depression precipitated by the 1929 Stock Market Crash. The REA was building lines to supply elec- tricity to farm properties too widely separated to be served economically by regular Power Companies. The WPA was installing Water and Sewer Systems in small towns and municipalities too small to afford them otherwise. World War II had not yet started--even in Europe. The Three C's Highway did not by-pass Sunbury & Galena, and The Hoover Dam and Reservoir, with the resulting dislocations, was not yet in consideration. I-71 and The Alum Creek Reservoir & Camp-Ground were far in the future. Sunbury & Galena did have a busy and well operated Railroad with two passenger trains daily, north & south, freight trains mixed in between schedules, a full time station and telegraph operator providing reliable service between Cleveland, Akron and Columbus. Sunbury boasted a storage and distribution system to provide an excellent supply of water to all homes and businesses. Partly because of this facility The Nestle Co. maintained their plant here and has been a most valuable source of employment in this area. Many fine families have come to this area and have worked for the development of this community since The Company acquired the old Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery Co. in 1919. The Big Walnut Consolidated School System had not yet been envis- aged.

George Walker's field, which was to become The Sunbury Playground as an early project of the Sunbury Lions Club, was lying un-used in 1938, a rough undeveloped field with an open waterway extending diagonally across it. The field had been used in earlier years by Nelson Ramsey, and perhaps others, as a pas- ture for horses. ****Businesses Around The Square and In The Area in the Year 1938**** The ground floor of the K. of P. Building contained a small sandwich shop and soda fountain in the western one-third, a movie theater occupied the center portion and the Sunbury Savings & Loan had expanded its offices into the eastern one-third. At that time the SS&L still occupied the adjacent, stone front building. D. C. Hoover our first Lions Club President lived next door to the east and had a rear door from his kitchen and a walkway to a rear door in the SS&L building for convenient access between the two, he being the Secretary and Board Chairman of the institution for many years. Ralph R.(Kinky)Clark lived and operated his barber shop in the house adjacent to the Bank. The old stone Farmers Bank Building occupied part of the lot where the present BancOhio facility stands. All the stone for the original building was obtained from quarries along Big Walnut Creek, hauled to and piled on the north side of the Public Square where it was cut and dressed according to the blue-prints prepared for the purpose, then erected into a complete edifice. The Sunbury News and Whitney Ins. offices occupied a two story now frame building adjacent to what is now Whitney Ins. Agency ^ oper- ated by Lion Bob Morris. The present Ins. Ofc. was, in 1938 occupied by the original Sunbury Grille with a doorway opening into what had been for many years, Charlie Budd's Pool Room immediately to the east. The pool tables had been removed and Title A name given to the resource The Sunbury and Galena Communities and how they were in 1938 when Sunbury Lions Club Originated (p. 2) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/dbe166f8bbf34cbd2e23573b118f569e.jpg 43598390c67813add7d0bad60261dbb2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Our Lions Club had its first dinner meetings there in late 1938. In the next business room to the east, Garnet Edwards Hettinger operated a beauty shop. Root's Department Store, on the corner, was owned and operated by C. A.(Chan)Root. He and Mrs. Root lived in the 'penthouse' apartment on the second floor. Chan was a Charter Member of Lions Club and a real community booster. The north one-third of the old two-story Blakely-Williams build- ing at the north end of the east side of the Public Square was occupied by C. C. Welch (groceries) and Henry Beaver (meats) separately, under the name 'Red & White Store'. Henry and C. C. were both Charter Members and C. C. became our second President. The south two-thirds of the R-W Bldg. and the whole second floor was occupied by The Sunbury Electric Shop operated by C. S. Burrer and his Mother. This old building contained a 'rope-driven', hand powered, freight elevator which extended from the basement to the second floor. This building was destroyed by fire in 1956. The next building toward the south, now owned by Glenn Evans a Lions Club Past president, was occupied by The Little Shop with Louise Sheets as proprietor. The next building housed the U. S. ? Store (a grocery) which in 1940 became a 5 & 10 Cents store. In the same two story building with a center entrance-way and stair way to the second floor apartments was Anderson's Drug Store. R. P. or 'Doc' Anderson as most people knew him, was a very popular man in the community. He acquired considerable property in the area during his lifetime, was one of the organizers of the Sunbury Savings & Loan and one of its Directors until his death in 1940. He was a member of Sparrow Lodge of Masons and a Charter member of the Lions Club.

Eddie Haller operated a bowling alley in the basement for a time. This Kroger store was managed by Carl Perry who was a Lions Club Char- ter member and became one of its Past Presidents. Notice of his early and untimely death is indicated elsewhere in this publica- tion. Harold Stone's Barber Shop adjoined the Haller building. 'Stoney', as he was affectionately called by everyone was Mayor of Sunbury for the longest, continuous period of years in its He history. ^ occupied that position when the streets of the Village were paved in 1911. V & M Williamson had a Chevrolet dealership in the next building with a cement block service garage located across the private alley to the rear. At the time they discontinued operations, theirs was reputed to be the oldest Chevrolet Agency in the central Ohio area. The two-story brick building with cast- iron support post in the entry way had been known for many years as the Strong's Hardware building, with living quarters overhead. In 1938 there was an alleyway between the Strong Hdwe and the old frame building which originally housed Charlie Granger's Pool Room and short-order restaurant. Jim and Mary Fravel operated the restaurant in the south part of the building and might have looked after the pool room in the north part. What was known as the Casteel Building, where the Sunbury News is now located (in 1988), the first story had a cut-stone wall with thick door ways at sidewalk level which supported a frame double, second floor for living quarters. F. Lamont Kempton, a Lion Charter Member operated a barber shop in the northernmost sidewalk level room. Larue and Marge Stith had a filling station and garage at the S, E. corner of this building, facing the intersection of Granville and S. Vernon Streets. It must be remembered that in 1926, all the business buildings with a few living quarters above, situated Title A name given to the resource The Sunbury and Galena Communities and how they were in 1938 when Sunbury Lions Club Originated (p. 4) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/84d326e805c7b26c95eaeb4cff605fd0.jpg 3392a5f7e30f13ef40b169466aaf4cbe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unnumbered page 5] between the Blakely-Williams frame structure on the north (which contained a three foot thick, stone firewall along its south side) and the old brick, Strong Hdwe to the south, all being of frame construction and very old, caught fire one night and burned to the ground. There was no way to save the structures since at that time all that was available was a man-power operated fire pumper and the only water available was from a cistern on the east side of the Public Square. The owners of the various properties so destroyed, banded together and hired a contractor to come on the scene and erect new brick structures according to each owners requirements. I understand, on good authority, that 'Rudy' Burrer, a respected banker in the Village was given the responsibility of co-ordinating the new construction project between the individual owners and the contractor, Mr. Ray Hopper of Delaware, Ohio. Believe it or not, there is no indication handed down to date of any serious problems, financially or other- wise, in this obviously loose-knit operation. In 1938 the Sunbury Post Office was located in the brick building at 75 E. Cherry Street across the alley from the rear of the Blakely-Williams building. Mr. Carroll Williamson was Postmaster. The first structure west of S. Vernon St on the south side of the square was a frame dwelling. The next was the residence of Otis (Pete) Baker and connected office and exchange of The Ohio Central Telephone Co. Mr. Baker, with his wife Lulu had come to Sunbury in 1904 to be maintenance man and local manager of the system. His younger son, Darwin Baker was a Lions Club Charter Member. The brick structure to the west and next to the alley, provided quarters for The Delaware County Mutual Ins. Co., founded in 1877, in the eastern one-half while the western half was occupied by Strosnider & Wilson Funeral Directors. A. D. Strosnider was Presi- Title A name given to the resource The Sunbury and Galena Communities and how they were in 1938 when Sunbury Lions Club Originated (p. 5) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/4c2824c0aeb13e831aa43aee70c5af5f.jpg c6f2c09c2de2878db7a0162f8a5ac5cb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

'Doc' Wilson was a Lions Club Charter Member, and a very active promoter and worker in the development of The Sunbury Playground. To the west of the alley was the Sunbury Motors Co. adjoining the Irwin Hdwe. & Furniture Co. Bldg. which extended to the next alley. This complex of buildings started with the Wheaton Brothers as a hardware and farm equipment store. Charles Wheaton had the first automobile in the community and from that experience there devel- oped an early auto agency. Bordering the alley, in 1938 was a two-story building made out of glazed tile, shaped similar to concrete blocks. On the ground floor Arthur Boston operated the 'Snipe-Town' grocery, no one has said where the name originated. Dr. Hodge Wilson (no relation to Ronald) had a dental office on the second floor. The last structure before Columbus St. was the old Joel Letts residence which had been con- verted into doctor's offices in the basement with medical clinic facilities above, by Dr. G. Y. Swickard, a Lions Club Charter Member. Tom Heston Sr. is reported to have been the operator of the Sohio Station on the corner of Granville and S. Columbus St. Hosea C. Hopkins used the Hopkins House as his residence and rented out individual rooms. He would also assist Strosnider & Wilson on Ambulance-runs and in conducting funerals. Otis K. Baker converted the Gelston's Bakery/Burrer's Store and Tavern building to operate as a Service Station and garage on the lot just north of the Hopkins House. The next two buildings north were used for residences, while the third house, (at one time the residence of Lawrence Myers, one of the founders of the town of Sunbury,) was the office and residence of Dr. W. B. Carpenter. The building at the corner of Columbus & Cherry streets was occu- pied by Wayne's (Feazel) Super Service.

Columbus, at North Street, Burrer Milling Co., in 1938, was producing and distributing livestock feeds, and only occasion- ally making White Loaf flour. The generation of electricity for the Village had ceased and the facilities sold to the Central Utilities Service Co. in 1926. Further north, on Rainbow Ave. Lloyd Brake and Lee Howard had established a garage and sold Studebaker automobiles. At the corner of High St. and the Croton Rd., Ralph H. Clark operated Clark's Furniture Store. At Rainbow Ave. & High St, Harry Lake operated a machine shop and garage. Charles & Wilma Ward had a store and specialized in Home Made Ice Cream in a two-story building called "The Point". South on S. Columbus St. V. M. Greene built a brick building and operated a Ford Auto Agency. Clark Tractor Sales sold farm equipment and machinery south of the Ford Agency. A little fur- ther south, across the street was Lee's Market. On E. Granville St. Emmet (Tobe) Feasel operated a Sohio Service station and next beyond was the Sunshine Feed Store. Across the street, and up a hill, was George Walker's Hay Barn and beyond that was the old Sunbury Manufacturing Co. building. John Williamson & Son sold farm machinery on Harrison St. where the Sunbury I. G. A. now stands. Also, at 52 Rainbow Ave., Owen Meredith had an International Tractor Agency, and at 102 Rainbow Ave., Ghent's Greenhouse was in operation. At 63 N. Vernon St., Charles Johnson operated a shoe repair shop, and at 157 South Vernon Street, Sunbury Lumber Co. was in business, with H. O. Reece, a Lions Club Charter Member, as Manager. Cloice E. Barton and Fairland Farms (H. P. & Russell Miller) were both in the wholesale and retail milk (dairy) business. The Town Hall was then, as now, a busy place with the Village Offices, the Jail, and the Fire Department on the first floor.

It may be that some business or professional entity has been over- looked in this compilation of enterprises active in 1938 and if so this writer begs to apologize for any omission. It would have been impossible to assemble the information contained in this presentation in the length of time allotted without having at hand the Sesquicentennial book "Sunbury-Founded in 1816" which was prepared in 1966, and the microfilm record of "The Sunbury News" for the year of 1938, available at Community Library.

This Village has long needed a business-mens organization, and the forming of this club is bound to promote Sunbury interests better, and weld the business-men even closer together than they have ever been before. Success of this venture depends on its members and the interest they take in the club.

Nearly everything in the way of toys, dolls, games, sleds, wagons and clothing were made-over by firemen who filled Santa's Pack and sent him over the community on Christmas Eve. Both Firemen and Lions directed this operation. Clifton Miller helped remodel toys and Mrs Howard Cring assisted in dressing dolls that meant Christmas to many little girls. The News Photographer failed in his attempt to bring you a picture of Santa's packs.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 1 of I-DENTITY] A FORWARD BY THE AUTHOR I-DENTITY was written to satisfy the hunger each of us has to know "who am I and where did I come from?" Perhaps the background will give a sense of direction to the foreground. The following is an explanation of the purpose of this work and is by no means an apology for it. A genealogy is simply an account of family ancestors and rel- atives with their pedigrees. No doubt some will find it dull, dry, boring-while others will think it exciting. In my research, I have found references to different families' occupat- ions, careers, and special projects which are included to add interest. Hopefully each Longshore family will find this work helpful whenever he would like to find out where Great, Great Uncle Harry lived and what he did for a living, who his wife was and how many kids did he have anyway, and why did he leave Ohio (or wherever) in the first place! You will not find all the answers but you may find some valuable clues. I have carefully researched and tried to validate all statements. However, by the very nature of the subject, some data has to be based on tradit- ion, hearsay, and the reliability of someone's memory. Even the census takers made mistakes in their recordings of names and birthdates, partly because at times the respondents themselves did not know how to spell their names, read, or write and oftentimes the early census takers themselves were just one step ahead of the illiterate. So please take any mistakes in stride and try to understand how it could happen even among very conscientious recorders; and make your own corrections and additions. The genuine history student no doubt will thrill as he fits his own ancestor into the proper time slot and location, and his imagination can run riot as he pictures his courageous OWN-striving for religious freedom, fighting the wars, clearing the wilderness, fleeing the Indians, burying their children, strugg- ling to stave off starvation and other privations. He can also envision happy times such as barn dances, family and community gatherings, games and contests, the plain simple family together- ness in work and recreation. Americans have always played, sung their songs, and danced, and most importantly - laughed! Many thanks to each of you who has cooperated so beautifully and contributed in any way. Special gratitude to my father-in-law, Lester Longshore, who patiently racked his brain to answer my persistent questions; Harold and Bessie Longshore who drove to Ohio from Iowa last fall special to bring their data on the Truman Longshore line, compiled in part by the late Homer Longshore and Matilda Longshore Rule; Claire Longshore Raybuck who helped me read tedious microfilm at the libraries; my husband, Russell, who tolerated my meanderings in the cemeteries, and my absent-mindedness while I was focusing on people, dates, and places of yesteryear; but most of all to my daughter, Janet Nuckles Mallett, who gave freely of her expertise and time to photocopy this story. I have loved every minute of this experience, especially the making of new friends. If in any way, my probings into family matters has offended anyone, please forgive.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 4 of I-DENTITY] Organization and Numbering I have endeavored to keep the numbering system simple for easy, prompt reference. I will attempt to explain the method. The generations will start with Pennsylvania emigrant, David Longshore. Since this is a vertical genealogy; that is each ancestor's descendants follow his introduction, the Roman numerals will represent the generations and will be used for each family grouping. A generation is considered to be roughly a span of 30 years, but sometimes they overlap in the larger families. David Longshore's children will be Generation I, and each of his children will have a Capital letter in order of birth, to set them apart from the later generations. Following generations will have only the Roman numeral with an Aramaic numeral to indicate the birth sequence among the brothers and sisters. For example: David Longshore, emigrant from Pa. in 1806 Issue: I IA John Longshore IB Cyrus Longshore IC Warner Longshore ID Rachel Longshore IE Sarah Longshore IF Charles Longshore IG David Longshore, Jr. IH Daughter Longshore (?) Cyrus IB = second child of David (the first) Truman IIB4 = fourth child of Cyrus Clem IIIB3 = third child of Truman William Bryan IVB1 = first child of Clem Leona Longshore Pratt VB2 = 2nd child of Wm. Bryan Patti Ann Pratt VIB1 = 1st child of Leona Pratt The index will tell which page each family group is on, so the reader can turn immediately to the branch he is particu- larly interested in at the moment, without having to thumb through reams of irrelevant material. It is suggested that corrections and additions be made on the back of the corresponding sheets so as to keep the book legible and neat. Extra sheets can be inserted or added at the back.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 5 of I-DENTITY] Possible Pennsylvania Beginnings of Longshores Robert Longshore "Robert Longshore, gentleman"! With all that this word connotes, WHY would Robert ever leave his established, secure, comfortable home in England, to delve into an unknown, untamed land? Perhaps his young blood raced at the thought of making his mark in America, the land of opportunity! Maybe he was simply an adventurous sort wishing to break the bonds of family and tradition. Could be, Robert was seeking religious freedom such as the Quaker, William Penn, had sought in America. Whatever his reasons, the real truth of it will never be known. It is known that many grossly exaggerated stories of America's wealth and opportunities had floated back to England and enticed folk there to migrate to the "land of the free". Consequently, thousands of Europeans sailed to America shortly after Robert's arrival in 1681. Most likely Robert Longshore, a surveyor, had already been commissioned as a deputy surveyor to Thomas Holme before he left his homeland, which would have assured him a measure of security. Robert Longshore did help Holme survey and plan the city of Philadelphia for William Penn. This beautiful port city along the Delaware River became known as the city of Brotherly Love, because its proprieter ruled it and the colony with fairness and love, allowing total freedom of worship. Penn endeavored to treat the Indians fairly also and did not incur their hatred as leaders in other colonies had done. There were 45,333 square miles in this grant of wilderness land which had been given to Penn at his request as settlement of an $80,000 debt owed by King Charles II of England to William Penn's father, Admiral Sir William Penn. William Penn wanted a refuge for himself and his Quaker followers away from the com- pulsory attendance to the church of England. Matter of fact, since he had been jailed several times because of his rebellion and religious fervor, he had become a nuisance to the Crown and an embarrassment to his father; therefore they were relieved to be rid of this rebel, William Penn. Robert Longshore, himself, could have been a part of this Quaker movement! At any rate, this city Robert had helped lay out soon became a cultural center and prospered. It rivaled Boston and was the capital of colonial Pa. Pennsylvania became a leader among the other 12 colonies, namely; Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, New Hamp- shire, The Carolinas, and Georgia and became known as the Key- stone State because of its location. Pennsylvania and Maryland were the only two proprietary colonies, which meant they were owned by individuals. Robert Longshore situated himself in the center of Phila- delphia on the corner of Market and Front Streets. In due time, this founding father of the American Longshores met and wed Margaret Cock, a daughter of Pieter Larson Cock. Pieter had been among the first Swedish immigrants coming to Pa. in 1641. He was a collector of tolls, imports and exports, for the colonies. He also served a magistrate for New Sweden and later as a deputy governor.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 6 of I-DENTITY] Sometime after Robert and Margaret's union, he purchased 500 acres of land in Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pa. and settled there. Robert and Margaret probably were born about 1660, give or take a few years. There is no record to show how many children they presented to their new country but most likely they did their duty. A son, Euclydus I, was born about 1690. Not much is known of Euclydus I, except on Jan. 8, 1715, he married Alice Stackhouse (b1699) when she was but 16. Alice was a daughter of Thomas and Grace Heaton Stackhouse, one of 14 children. Alice's father was a descendant of Thomas Stack- house, who arrived on the boat "Welcome"in 1682, and her mother, a daughter of Robert and Alice Heaton of Middletown, Pa. It is said that the 1st generation children of the Stackhouses inter- married with the families of Clark, Stone, Wilson, Longshore, Copeland, Gilbert, Watson, Plumley, Cary, Haring, Janney, Mitchell, Stephenson, Tomlinson, and others and that their descendants are almost legion --. Euclydus I and Alice lived in Middletown, Pa., where he died in 1764. Issue of Euclydus I and Alice Stackhouse Longshore: Robert 10/13/1716 Grace 2/24/1717 - 1726 Thomas 9/13/1721 Margaret 4/21/1724 Alice 7/ 4/1726 Grace (2) 6/18/1728 Euclydus 12/ 4/1730 - 1732 Mary 10/30/1732 - 1734 * Euclydus II 4/27/1735 - 6/14/1804 This descension shows the high death rate among children at that time. Since only five of Euclydus I's children sur- vived him, out of nine produced, sorrow was no stranger to Euclydus and Alice. At this period in the country's history, manpower was needed and so large families were desirable to help with the work, usually on a farm where they could raise their own food; and to offset the death toll. Because of frequent childbirth, hard work, hardships, lack of medical attention, women too fell prey to the grim reaper, and it was not uncommon at all for a man to have two, three, four wives in his life- time. The family line is picked up through Euclydus II and it seems he was the most prolific of the Longshores, fathering 22 children, 11 by each wife. No one could accuse him of showing favoritism!

Witness present Euclydus Longshore John Blakely William Gillam June 22, 1804 It is to be noted that only twelve of Euclydus II's 22 children survived him, attesting again to the high infant mor- tality rate. As late as 1900 and beyond, the infant mortality rate was 50%. Since most people in the 18th and 19th centuries had to make the caskets used by their family members, a supply in different sizes was generally kept made up ahead. Many infants succumbed to a disease called cholera infantum; typhoid, malaria, & tuberculosis also claimed many lives. Not only did individual families supply their own coffins, they likewise dug the graves; so tragedy made a double impact on them in the early days. According to Thomas Ellwood Longshore, from whom most of the previous data has come and who supplied many records up to 1890, the following is from his compilation regarding Euclydus II's family: Some of Abner Longshore's descendants settled in Ohio Anna Longshore's daughter, Betty Atkinson, lived in Zanesville Margaret Longshore md James Slack Joseph Longshore md Joanna Kelley ch: Amos and Kelley Longshore Rachel Longshore md Valentine Dickerson ch: Sarah, William, John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Ann Dickerson Thomas Canby Longshore md Jane Gaine ch: Jane, Maria, Sally James Longshore md Sarah Roberts - owns a candy & con- fectioner's business in Columbus, Ohio Title A name given to the resource I-DENTITY (p. 11) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/62a9eab1cec4c8b1a9a6b2f5c7b1b731.jpg 983aa69f92e6d75320b80247583bd253 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Euclydus Longshore II's son, Abraham's family, had some active, interesting, and distinguished members whose contributions to society will give some insight to the par- ticular line this compiler is pursuing. "Memoranda and Notes of the Longshore Family, Pioneers of Which Settled in Bucks Co., Pa." is also written by the same descendant, Thomas E. Longshore, son ofAbraham Longshore, and was compiled from tradition and the records he had found. Some of his data used in this narration heretofore has been paraphased but this item is verbatim. It will be of interest to the family today because it shows how Thomas E.'s grandfather's and father's families weathered the hard time of the late 1700s and early 1800s when this new country was suffering growing pains follow- ing its independence. Suffice it to say that these gentlemen did not serve in the Revolutionary War probably because they had such large families to support. Many of their descendants served in later wars, proving their patriotism. "Euclydus Longshore, our grandfather, from the impression I have received from different members of the family, was rather an easy, good-natured man with a kind of dry humor. He was of a light, sandy complexion with light brown hair. At the time, Father, (Abraham) was born (11/6/1785), I believe the family was living in a stone, one story house, north of John Watson's farm, in Middletown, Bucks Co.,Pa., on the south side of the road. Grandfather was not much of a farmer but things drifted anyhow. The children went to work as soon as old enough. Father went to James Wildman's to live at age 12, as a "taken" boy * He did not get along satisfactorily with old Adam Adams, their colored hired man, and refused to thresh in the barn with him because of being so abused. Father kept a daily diary as proof of his grievances so he could be freed from his indenture*. Euclydus, my grand- father, died when Father (Abraham) was 19. Father borrowed $1000. to purchase a farm and it was all he could do to pay interest. We all had to do what we could to save money by living poor and dressing in homespun clothing, eating mush, rye bread without butter or molasses, and potatoes, no tea or coffee, or sugar, or even lard, rye pie shortened with smoked pot-skimmings and dried apples so sour we made the less of it answer. Father had gone to school 3 months and learned to read, write, and cipher. He had a good memory and could sing 100 songs. He loved to read, mostly the Bible". (Abraham's father, Euclydus II, died in 1804) *"Apprenticeship in early days was serious business. Articles of indenture were drawn up with all the care of a conveyance of real estate and corresponding obligations of master and apprentice were specifically set forth."

Many time the master was a tyrant dictating every breath his servant took, including his morals and use of his leisure time (what little there was). *Abraham was able by virtue of his diary to obtain a hearing and get out of his obligation to James Wildman. However, in some in- stances, apprenticeship served a good purpose when the "indenturee" was able to learn a trade as well as earn room and board. There were no public schools to teach a trade and most of the common people could not read or write so how else were they to learn! Too often though the masters abused and exploited the trainees.

Longshore, b 1809 d 1879, is entitled to a niche. He lost partial use of one leg when a boy and was lamed for life. Turning his attention to the medical profession, he graduated in medicine from the University of Pa. at age 24 and practiced several years at Attleborough (later named Langhorne). In 1850, he established a medical College in Philadelphia for women, the first of its kind in the world. He was also an ardent advocate of total abstinence and an active abolitionist, at a period when it required no little courage to declare oneself."

Volume I (published 1906) "Longshore Family, long residents in Pa. Founder of family in Pa. was Robert Longshore, who came from England and settled at Front and Market Sts. in Phila- delphia; later moved to Bucks Co." The name of the person who sent in this biography to the previously mentioned book is not mentioned so there is no way to know which of Isaish Longshore's grandchildren wrote it - "Isaiah Longshore, grandfather, lived at Beach Haven, where he kept a hotel and boarding house, died at age 47 and buried there. Ch: A.B. b 1812 and Alfred R. Alfred was a justice of the peace, had 3 dau., d age 82 Y. A.B. Longshore, M.D. reared at Shickshinny, studied medi- cine with his uncle, A.B. Wildon, graduated from Jeffer- son Medical College in Philadelphia in 1843 with honors. Spoke both English and fluent German, d in 1875, age 63. Practiced medicine in mountain region in Wyoming County. Practice so extensive he called five of his students to assist him in this vast area. 8 ch. - Dr. Wm. R. Longshore only survivor." "Dr. Wm. R. Longshore, M.D., son of Ashbel B. and Maria J. (Righter) Longshore b 9/10/1838 in Beaver Meadows, Pa. Studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College and Pa. College of Medicine from which he graduated March, 1860. Worked as assistant in male department of Pa. Hospital for Insane under Dr. Kirkbride until 1862.

A Mason. 1 child, Harry Carter Longshore, d at 14; adopted a dau., Jane Martin, md to Wallace Ellerslie Engle and she has a son, William Longshore Engle, who resides in Hazelton." These historic and biographic passages are used for one purpose - to show that some of the early Longshores were human- itarians; vitally interested in their country, in the healing arts, women's rights, foreign aid, and political reform. They were great contributors to their fellow man, be it on a local, state, or national scale; always ready to serve.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to back of page 15 of I-DENTITY, a letter to Mrs. Maxine Longshore] 7224 E.17th St. N. Wichita, KS 67206 August 11, 1991 Dear Mrs. Longshore: join the DAR and wrote to two of her father's cousins, one a Davidson and one a Longshore. She didn't get to join but the letters she re- ceived were very helpful when I started my research. Incidentally, the Longshore cousin she wrote to was James C. who was loving at 1201 Hamlet St. in Columbus at the time. I don't know what year he died but he was elderly at the time-79-and only he and his sister Sarah were still alive. The reason that you don't find a complete list of the children of Euclydus and Susannah Van Horn is that they were married out of meeting. All of the children of that first marriage had names beginning with A. When Euclydus returned to the Quakers he took what children he could back with him and his son Abner was one of the witnesses at his marriage to Sarah Gillam. I was told recently by one of my earlier correspondents that another lady had told him that the David Longshore who married Elizaneth Warner was the son of Cyrus Longshore, who was marred to Mary David and waws the son of Thomas Longshore and Joanna Vance. Thomas Longshore was the son of euclydus Longshore and Alice Stackhouse and was born the 13th day of the 9th month 1721. He was married to Johanna Vance on the 10th day of the 4th month 1742 at the Middletown Monthly Meeting (LDS film 20403, pp.308-9). Thomas' will is file # 1162, Bucks Co., PA. It is dated 11 Jan 1777 and proved 13 Feb 1777. Johanna died between the writing of her will dated 22 d 4m 1792 and the probate date of 14 June 1794 and is file # 2535 Bucks. Co. Her parents are as yet unknown but she has a sister, Jane McLear. the first child of Thomas and Johanna was born less than nine months after their marriage and Thomas became angry with the reprimand of the Quakers. In his will, thomas mentions his wife Johanna, his sons Thomas, cyrus, and euclydus and his daughters, elizabeth Hunter and Margaret Wiley. I found deeds dated 14 Apr 1784, filed 27 Sept 1785, of Cyrus and wife mary and euclydus and wife Jane. They mention that the land came from their father, Thomas. Johanna in her will mentions her sister, Jane McLear, her son Euclydus, her daughters, Elizabeth Hunter (wife of Andrew) and her daughter Margaret Wiley, her grandson Amos (the son of thomas who later married Ann cox) and her granddaughter Jane (the daughter of Cyrus who later married Aaron Cox). These are known facts and I have written to the lady in Iowa to find out the facts on which she bases her conclusions. The death date given for David Longshore is 3 Nov 1859. The 1800 Tax list for Middletown Twp., Bucks Co. shows him as a single man. 20 Jan 1802 david Longshore of Middletown m. Elizabeth Weber/Warner, Isaac Hicks, J.P. then 1810 Tax list in delaware Co., 67A., Range 17, Twp 4, Section 1 and the same in 1814. I will let you know when I hear on what the lady has based her conclusions.

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 16 of I-DENTITY] To get back on the track - The Ohio progenitor of the Longshores is David Longshore. There is data to prove he came to Ohio in 1806; to Del. Co. with his brother, Euclydus (III), in 1808; purchased land in Delaware County in 1811. Many clues link David to the line of Robert, Euclydus I, Euclydus II; but actually there is no record found, as of this date, to prove a David Longshore, born Jan. 1779, was born to this line or any other line! This author is still researching on this puzzle and if additional information is ever unearthed, it will be attached at the end of the story. It is the considered opinion of this compiler that the "missing link" can be theorized as follows: Perhaps[underlined] David was the youngest child of Euclydus ** and ____Cox Longshore and possibly his mother died at his birth or shortly thereafter. In the con- fusion, his birth was never recorded. This thought is based on his birthdate of Jan. 25, 1779; the fact Euclydus II remarried on May 1780; and his first child by the second wife, Euclydus III, was born in 1781. Since all of the children by Euclydus II's first wife had names beginning with an "A", it could be that David did not like his "A____" name, whatever it was, and decided to use his other given name and change his image when he came to Ohio. At any rate, there is no hint of the "A" in any of his legal papers. The following excerpts are from biographies submitted by one of David's children (Charles) and one of his daughter-in-laws (Margaret) will bear out the fact David did come from Pa. in 1806 and settled in Delaware County, Ohio in 1808. From Baskins 1880 HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY "Charles Longshore, farmer: P.O. Condit; is a son of David and Elizabeth (Warner) Longshore; his father was born in Pa. and came to Ohio in 1806, settling in Berkshire Township, west of Sunbury, on the farm now owned by Mrs. Grist, where he lived until his death; it was then a dense forest, there being but one house between Delaware and Johnstown, and that where George Gibson now resides; the only neighbor for some time was a brother; their first nights were spent in the woods around a fire, with a friendly Indian as company." "Margaret Longshore, P.O. Condit; was born July 2, 1804, a daughter of Christian and Sallie (Linderman) Young; her father settled in Ohio about 1816, and farmed near Galena until his death in 1838. She was married June 22, 1826, to Cyrus Longshore, by whom she has had six children, four are now living; her husband was born Nov. 24, 1804, in Muskingum Co., *Ohio, and came with his parents to Delaware Co. about 1808, settling west of Sunbury on a farm now owned by the Landon Brothers, and in 1836 on the farm owned by Mrs. (Margaret) Long- shore; he died May 3, 1870."

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 17 of I-DENTITY] * There is a discrepancy about the place of Cyrus' birth; the 1850 and 1860 Delaware County Census, also his death record, state that he was born in Pa. It is possible David stopped in Muskingum County in 1806 where other relatives lived, on his way to central Ohio. This biography states he came to Delaware County in 1808, which is entirely plausible. Somewhere else there is a reference to David's having lived in Sunbury Township before purchasing his farm in 1811 in Berkshire Township. David Longshore was born three years after the birth of the United States of America, and ten years before George Washington became president in 1789. He arrived in Ohio during the term of Thomas Jefferson, and in Delaware County in time to ['Del. Co. in 1808' handwritten in margin] see Delaware City laid out in 1811, Columbus in 1812, and Sunbury in 1816 and just four years before the War of 1812. At that time Ohio was considered the Crossroads of the Nation. A big busines boom existed immediately following that war. The schedule of prices shown here will show the prosperity that lasted until 1819 when prices slid back to pre-war levels. Pre-war Prices Prices 1812 - 1819 hogs - $1.50 per 100# hogs - $4.00 per 100# oats - .50 per bu. oats - 1.00 per bu. corn - .50 per bu. corn - 1.00 per bu. flour - 1.00 per 100# flour - 4.00 per 100# hay - 10.00 per ton hay - 20.00 per ton Some prices nose-dived to below pre-war values, such as; corn sold for 10-12 cents per bu.; potatoes - 12 cents bu., etc. Rigid economy was practiced by all grades of society - even the wealthy drank rye coffee and distinguished men dressed in blue linsey pantaloons for a time. In 1820 in Columbus, Ohio, over one hundred parcels of real estate were advertised in one ad- vertisement of sheriff's sales! Gradually though the nation recuperated from the recession. One blessing for the white man was that he never again was bothered by the red man in these parts after 1812. David and Euclydus (III) purchased their 134 acres in Range 17, Twp. 4, Lot 4, from Thomas Brown for $268.67 1/2. The 1812 Tax record values it at 67 1/2 cents an acre! In 1816, it seems they sold half of this same land - 67 7/16 acres - for $400., tripling their money. Perhaps this is a further example of the inflation of that period. Later however, in 1819, a quit claim deed is recorded whereby Euclydus (III) and Sarah, of Muskingum County, transferred the east half of 134 7/8 acres for the sum of $202. to David Longshore. Reference to David, in Charles' biography, states that David lived on the land he settled until his death in 1858. At the time this farm was purchased in 1811, there were only 2000 people in the entire county! By 1850, there were 1557 persons in Berkshire Township but this dropped to 1392 in 1860. Nevertheless, it was not over- populated at that time. Following is a copy of the original land purchase by David and Euclydus and their wives.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 19 of I-DENTITY] From the description in this deed and comparison with a map of this area in 1811 and 1860, it is pretty well determined that David's farm lay west of Sunbury, beginning at the corner of St.Rt. 37 and Twp. Rt. 72, running along the southside of County Rt 72 as far as the Henry Beaver farm. At the corner of RT. 37, in more recent years, this area was known as the Burt Cornell farm, and the old brick house about 1/8 mile west of Rt. 37 on Co. Rt. 72 was the homestead. Remnants of this house still lay there up until about 10 years ago, when a new ranch-style house was built by that grove of trees, and some of that farmland was portioned into building lots. Jon-Jon's Restaurant is on the corner now of Rts. 37 & Twp. Rt. 72. David's son, John, owned land in this same territory which partially adjoined his father's and that land is now owned by the V.M. Green heirs. Before it came into the Green ownership, the land in the general area was owned by Griste and Landon families. The original land purchase passed from Longshore hands before 1860, probably at the time of David's decease in 1858. Coincidentally, before he had any know- ledge of where his ancestors had first settled, a descendant of David's, Russell Longshore, purchased an acreage across the road from the original plot and built a house on it 17 years ago (1959)! At the turn of the 19th century, the land where David took up abode could scarecely be seen for the trees; now the land can scarcely be seen for the houses, shopping center, and commercial buildings: Super highways have replaced the scenic byways and the accelerated pulse of modern civilization - even in this rural area - has supplanted the leisurely heart throb of nature and its wonders. But then, that's progress! Everyone enjoys the modern conveniences but they want the slower pace, and somehow oil and water just don't mix. "Despite technological advances, inventions, and explor- ations that would have seemed miraculous to our grandparents; indeed, that even seem miraculous to us, people are still people. Go back in time - or forward - ten years, a hundred, or a thousand - you'll find people loving, hating, desiring, and fearing the same things as thoday. You'll find people valuing the same things - success, status, comfort, friendship, love." An excerpt from THE MASTERY OF PEOPLE by Auren Uris. In this bicentennial year, it is popular to look back to "the good ole days" and see only the good part; especially when the TV announcer comes on with his "and this is the way it was, 200 years ago" accompanied by a fife and drum playing their version of "Yankee Doodle". A little tingle goes up the spine and one feels a yearning for the peace (?) of bygone days. It is easy then to forget the hardships the pioneers faced each day. It is doubtful if anyone of this generation could accurately define a pioneer hardship because no one nowadays has experienced it; so "starvation", "privation", "Indian massacre" are just words in today's vocabulary. But then, possibly, the pioneer could not define the words of this day, such as: "mugging", "freak-outs", "spaced out", "murder contracts", et cetera.

Longshore, fifth son of Cyrus, b 1835 d ____ He married Massa Linnabary ( b 1843) on 2/8/1864 According to deed transfers at Del. Co. C H in Ohio, Harlow and wife, Massa, purchased land from Sarah E. Longshore (probably Mrs. David Jr.) in 1866 and in 1870 sold this same land to Cyrus Longshore, his father. Evidently they then moved from the area and no further trace has been found to date, by this compiler. In the 1860 Census, he was age 25, living in his father's house, farming. II B 6 Issac Newton Longshore b 6/14/1839 d 5/11/1920 bd Trenton Md Angeline T. Bourne (1840-1936) on 11/23/1865. In the 1880 HISTORY OF DELAWARE CO. by Baskins, it says that I.N. Longshore was very active in the Christian Union Church (Bethel, in Licking Co.), of which he was an Elder and Superintendent of Sunday Schools. The biography also states he once carried mail from Johns- town to Newark daily for one year, worked as a carpen- ter for years, but mostly he farmed. Angeline was born in Ohio just one year after her parents, Almerian and Elizabeth (Jewett) Bourn who were born in Mass., came to Ohio in 1839. "After marriage, I.N. and Angeline settled on the old homestead where their resident still is (in 1880). (This is where the Harvey McElroy farm now is on Ross Rd., Trenton Twp.) In May of 1880, I.N. sold his farm for $1000. cash and soon after bought one of 47 acres at $60.00 an acre from A. C. Bowers; he also worked 83 acres of his mother's (Cyrus' and Margaret's) farm." In late years he retired to a house and lot in Condit across from the schoolhouse and cemetery. His son, Seth, then took over the farming.

Description An account of the resource [page 33] [corresponds to page 31 of I-DENTITY] Carlyle once said that "History is the essense of innumerable biographies". An appropriate follow-up might be a statement by Longfellow in which he said, "We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while we judge others by what they have done." Oft times later generations can be inspired by the achievements of those gone on before or be put on guard by their failures. We cannot rest on the laurels of our ancestors; neither are we held to account for their deeds; we can rise above or sink below their character, but the fact remains we are a composite of our ancestors and that is why Susie may "take after" Aunt Mary or Johnny after Uncle Joe or Granddad. Strange how the genes work _______________________________________________________________________________ After the death of Truman's 2nd wife, Lucretia, in 1881, Truman brought his motherless children back to Ohio and he never went out west again. The children were taken in by various family members until old enough to go on their own. Since Harriet (Longshore) and her husband, George Ginn, only had one child, Elmine, at home they took 14 year old Milo into their home. One day when Milo was near 18 years of age, he went downtown to get a loaf of bread for his aunt. Two years later he returned and tossed a loaf of bread on the table, saying, "Here's your loaf of bread!" The 2nd time he left he kept in contact with them. The Ginns also had been in Iowas for three years but George become so homesick they came back to Ohio. This was prior to Truman's tragedy. When Clem Longshore, along with his parents, Truman and Lucretia and their family were traveling out west from Ohio, they used a flat bed wagon. They had a team of horses, two cows, one sow, and a dog. On the wagon was a bed, dresser, and two stoves. The womenfolk rode on the wagon and drove the team while the father and sons walked. When they came to a cabin, it was customary for that family to provide accommodations for the travelers. They fed the family and livestock. The men of the house went outside and slept under the wagon with the traveling men while the women all slept inside the house. When the Longshores arrived at their destination, they turned the horses out to pasture. The horses ran off toward home with the dog. The dog made it on home but the horses stopped at the "big river". Later the horses were found beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route) which evidently they were reluctant to cross. A postcard informed the Longshores of the horses' whereabouts. Truman took a train to retrieve the horses.

Description An account of the resource [page 35] [corresponds to page 34 of I-DENTITY] Truman Longshore Fourth Son of Cyrus Longshore II B4 The Truman Longshore line is being recorded out of sequence of Cyrus' sons because his family seemed to be more prolific, plus the fact he and most of his Ohio ancestors and their descendants remained or still live in the particular area where this compiler lives. Therefore, information is more accessible as well as personal knowledge and contact with the subjects and availability of resource material gives more insight to this line. Every effort has been made to research the other lines and all submitted material has been appreciated and used. Consequently an abundance of data follows: possibly Job 14:1-9 expresses what he may have felt at times: "Man is born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble." Truman was one of the four, out of six, sons who survived his father, Cyrus; Jonathan and Minor having died before 1870. He and his mother, Margaret were executors of Cyrus' will. Truman was sort of a jack-of-all-trades, having farmed a great amount, he was a competent teamster, operated a sawmill and tile mill, et cetera. He must have been somewhat of an adventurer considering that he got around considerably for that day of poor traveling facilities. The railroad came to Delaware in 1851 and it was called the "Big Four" since it ran through Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, and Truman could have used its accommodations some of the time. At any rate, get around he did, whether by horseback, carriage, stagecoach, covered wagon, or by rail. To travel by any of these methods required super desire, courage, a strong constitution, and perseverance! Truman may have been enticed to pursue greener pastures by the lectures of Horace Greeley who was a journalist and politician who went around over the country lecturing with the clarion call "Go west, young man!" hinting of riches and acclaim that lay just beyond for the going and claiming. It is known that some of Truman's Longshore cousins also answered this call and went West; perhaps forming a wagon train. Rumblings from some of the wives' grumblings are still being heard of, such as; "Haint no sense to it at all!" The women were content with their lot in life right where they were. The gold rush of 1849 (although Truman at 14 was too young to embark at that time) may have had some appeal although there is no record of any Longshore having found gold! Some of the Longshores must have found something they liked in Illinois and Iowa because some went and stayed. Most of them eventually came back to Ohio and their roots here. It is known that Truman found his first wife, Larusia Bouier, in Peoria, Illinois in 1859. Most likely he lived out there farming before and in the early part of his marriage. His son, Clem, many times told the story of his father's second move out to Illinois. They went by covered wagon. In the late fall, they turned the horses out to open pasture as was the custom there. The horses and dog must have been homesick because they ran off toward Ohio. Later the horses were found beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route) which evidently they were reluctant to cross. The dog left them (as compared to Ohio's at that time) and said that one time he harrowed corn all day and didn't get over the field.

Description An account of the resource [page 36] [corresponds to page 35 of I-DENTITY] It is thought that the first three of Truman's children were born in Ohio and the other five in Illinois. It is re- corded that Will was born in Ohio and that Clem was born in a log house on his grandfather Cyrus' farm - possibly the tenant house, in 1865. Truman was back in Ohio at that time and also in 1870 at the time of his father's death. Larusia had died the year before at age 35. She is buried at Condit, Ohio. In 1871, Truman married Lucretia [underlined] Peters. A copy of her father's biography follows: Also taken from Baskins 1880 Delaware County History -- Daniel H. Peters, farmer and stockraiser; P.O. Green, Licking County, Ohio is a son of William and Sarah (Bashford) Peters; his father was of English descent, and born in Maryland; his mother of Irish descent; her father was from Cork, Ireland. Mr. Peters's father emigrated to Ohio about 1816, and his grandfather came to America in 1808, and served awhile in the War of 1812. Mr. Peters was born Jun 26, 1820, in Pickaway County, Ohio and came to Licking Co., in April, 1822. Nov. 27, 1842, he was married to Miss R. Iles; she was born in Licking Co.; they had nine children - Sarah J., Lucretia, James W. Effie, Oliver, Emma, William P., Melissa, and Martha. His wife died Oct. 6, 1863; she was a member of the M.E. Church. Daniel was again married, in 1864, to Mary A., daughter of Edward and Mary Lake, by whom he had six children; five living - Rose D., Frank J., Milton H., Mark M., William S. and John M who died Nov. 21, 1869. He (Daniel) lived, after marriage in Licking Co. four years and then rented his present farm of 124 acres, which he bought two years afterward. About 1859, he learned the carpenter's trade, and has thus been enabled to make his own farm improvements; in 1864, he commenced dealing in Spanish merino sheep, which he supplies to those wanting at fair prices; he has filled his share of the township offices, and is now a member of the Christian Union Church, as are also five members of his family. He has served as Supt. of Sunday School for 25 yrs, and many years as Elder. This church now has membershp of 100. He is a member of Sparrow Lodge, No. 400, A.F.& M. According to a granddaughter, Daniel Peters score of children reached 17! (Daniel H. Peters: June 26, 1820 - Aug 23, 1900 Mary I.

A broken man returend to Ohio with a ['covered' crossed out] wagon load of motherless children. Will, the eldest at 21, returned to the West and was married that fall. It is thought that he kept 2 year old Nellie and Newt, age 7. It is not known what 19 yr old Edson did but Clem at age 16 was old enough to do a man's work so he lived with his father's uncle, Warner and Cordelia and daughter, Mary, on the farm. Cordelia passed away in 1882 so then the spinster daughter, Mary, kept house for her father and Clem.

Description An account of the resource [page 37] [corresponds to page 36 of I-DENTITY] Harriett and her husband George Ginn, having only one (at home) child, Elmine aged 9, took five year old Milo to raise. Mae, who was eight went to live with a sister of Lucretia's in Mich. It is not known where Dean, aged 9, stayed, but when he turned 18 he went to Iowa where he settled. So, compassionate relatives "took in" the children and it was such a commendable thing to do. Everyone did the best they could but still the family circle was broken. However the family, though scattered hither and yon, remained close in spirit and all kept in touch, visiting each as often as possible. Most of them eventually settled in Central Ohio. Truman did not set up housekeeping again until Mae was old enough to keep house for him. He then purchased a place in Olive Green in 1886. At that time a Doc Foster and Truman became business partners in a tile mill. All went well until Doc decided to shoot himself dead in a tile kiln. Just one more upheaval in Truman's life. He lived to age 78 and died in 1913. All of his children lived long lives except Nellie, who died at 35. The others averaged out to over 78; Clem lived to be the oldest-passing on at age 90 in 1955. Reading of the trauma that went on in these families' lives reminds one of Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem: Rock Me to Sleep Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight, Make me a child again, just for tonight! Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore; Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth a few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;-- Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep! I am so weary of toil and of tears; Toil without recompense, Tears all in vain; Take them, and give me my childhood again! I have grown weary of dust and decay, - Weary of flinging my soul wealth away; Weary of sowing for others to reap; - Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep! Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem, "Rock Me to Sleep" 3rd verse Tired of the follow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O Mother, my heart calls for you! Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded, our faces between; Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I tonight for your presence again. Come from the silence so long and so deep; - Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!

Description An account of the resource [page 43] [corresponds to page 42 of I-DENTITY] Line of Truman Longshore, son of Cyrus continued _________________________________________________________________ The Longshore train comes back to its Ohio source for a time and visits with the third son of Truman's, Clem Longshore. Depot - Sunbury, Ohio and nearby areas. Clem's three sons all live rural route Sunbury and their children have about all settled nearby. Clem Longshore was born in Ohio; at age 16, he came back from Illinois with his family as the result of his stepmother, Lucretia's death. He lived with his Uncle Warner's family in Trenton twp., Delaware County and worked on the farm there. Later he purchased the farm and remained there the rest of his 90 years. The farm is now owned and operated by his son, Lester, who have lived on it all of his 76 years. Clem was a slightly built man, rather short in stature. Always in good humor. He was a devoted husband caring tenderly for his wife Ella, during her invalidism several years,before her death. He was a widower for 24 years. He enjoyed traveling. His daughter-in-laws were as fond of him as his sons as he treated them with respect. His grandchildren adored him. On his 77th birthday he ice skated on the creek (in February) on his farm (this creek was and still is the recreational spot for the whole family). His grandchildren loved to fish but did not want to clean the small fish so they would give them to Grandpa and he would clean them and fry them crisp and crunch them, bones and all! Although he visited each of his sons every day, he never caused any trouble because he never interfered in their business or took sides in any disagreements. Everyone loved to see him come. When his Great grandson, Jim, was born, Clem walked out across the plowed field (in May, 1954) to where his son, John, was working and announced, "Today I am a rich man" and then told of the birth of his first great grandson (with the Longshore name). This was when he was 89 and he could still get excited over the birth of a child! He enjoyed doing favors for people and many is the time he took someone to the doctor for regular treatments or took someone on an errand. He seemed to enjoy his retirement because he could and did make himself useful. In his late years, his granddaughter, Betty and her husband, Sam Watts, lived with Clem keeping house for him and caring for him when he needed it. His life after age 16was somewhat serene and certainly more settled than his father Truman's had been.

Description An account of the resource [page 66] [corresponds to back of page 63 of I-DENTITY] EZEKIEL BROWN Ezekiel Brown was born March 13, 1760 in Orange County, New York and died April 23, 1841, in Delaware County, Ohio at the home of his daughter, Nancy Brown Leonard. He was married to Jane Smith, Feb. 26, 1786. She was born Sept. 15, 1766 and died Aug. 19, 1821. In 1808 he came to Berkshire Township and settled on land a little northeast of where Galena now is. He came from Lycoming County, PA, where he had been elected to Congress for one or two terms. In 1776 he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army and joined the forces under Washington, just after the Battle of Trenton. He participated in several engagements. Two years later, while on a furlough to visit his home, then in what is now Lycoming Co., PA, he was unfortunately captured by the Indians. The incidents, as related by his daughter, Nancy Brown Leonard, are as follows. There had been numerous Indian alarms and the neighbors had gathered at Ezekiel's father's house; a strong, hewed log cabin, which was easy of defense. Here they awaited the onset of the savages, but they did not make the attack when expected. Instead they kept secreted in the neighborhood for days until the settlers, lulled into a false sense of security, went into their homes. As soon as the savages saw their plans succeeding, they rushed in upon the unsuspecting and defenseless settlers, and commenced their work of butchery. Ezekiel's father, mother, and sister's husband were ruthlessly murdered, and himself and sister with her seven children were carried into Indian captivity. The mother was separated from her children, and the children from each other. Ezekiel was forced to pass through the forms preceding adoption into the tribe. Three times during the journey to the main town of the Cayugas, near where Scipio, N.Y. now stands, he was forced to run the gauntlet. The first time, he received a severe wound from a tomahawk. The second time, less fortunate, he received a terrible blow from a war club which felled him to the ground in a fearfully mangled condition. His life seemed ended, but he finally recovered and proceeded with his captors to their destination, where, after another trial, he passed through the fearful ordeal unharmed and was adopted by a family who had lost a son in the war. He was afterwards taken to Canada where he found his sister, and a clue to the whereabouts of her children. He managed to become employed by a trader and bought his freedom,but the ties of kindred were too strong for him to leave his sister in captivity. He at once set about securing her release and that of her children. He had secured all of her seven children but two, when one boy came up with the Indians and claimed his mother, but she told him she was not his mother. He had changed so much and was so dirty she could not own him. She asked him if he had any brothers and he said he had and told their names and said he had an uncle, Ezekiel. Then she had to own him. They now had all the children but one boy twelve years old. It was nearing the time when Ezekiel hoped to return to his friends, that he learned a party of Indians with this boy was about to start for a distant point to hunt. If this should occur, he despaired of ever seeing the child again, and determined to kidnap the boy. Calling the Indians into the trader's cabin, he treated them to liquor. When they became drunk he pushed them out and the boy in, then barred the door and waited the issue. This treatment was not relished by the savages. The resented it by kicks and more forcible attacks upon the door. There were no signs of it yielding, so they had to leave the boy behind. But the lad had become enamored with the wild life of the woods and longed to be with his Indian friends. One day while out playing he saw his opportunity and his Uncle Ezekiel saw him running with all his might to regain his friends. With sinking heart and almost in despair, he started in pursuit. The boy was recaptured and with the whole family returned in 1783 to their friends in PA., after five years of Indian captivity. Seven years later, Ezekiel Brown moved to Ohio and in 1808 to Berkshire Township. Ezekiel Brown was my grandfather and your great grandfather.

Her daughter, Eugenie Carpenter invited some folks into their home to celebrate Ida's 80th birthday. It was then the well-wishers present decided to organize an annual get-together beginning the next year, planning to have the first meeting in the home of I.N.

The reunion date later was changed to the 2nd Sunday in August. (The old-timers frowned on social activity on Sunday) The reunion has met every year since, making this the 78th one. This Reunion has been a large factor in holding the families together, forming a nucleus, sort of. Although it was always held in central Ohio, since that is the scene that the emigrators picked way back in 1808; family members in various years have come from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota,as well as distant points in Ohio. For many years, the annual affair was held in different private homes; then in Galena Park where Charlie Longshore so faithfully reserved the tables for the picnic; then it met a few times in Mt. Vernon Municipal Park to be nearer the Mt. Vernon, Marion, and Mansfield contingent, but for the past 15 or so years, the group has voted to meet in the beautiful Centerburg Park facilities. It has shelter houses, horseshoe courts, basketball court, and playground equipment in a lush setting beside a little stream. It has been a tradition to serve ice cream in the afternoon following the business meeting. Although everyone is stuffed to the brim with the abundance of good food these excellent cooks turn out, there is always room made for this extra treat. In these days of deep freezers, et cetera, ice cream is not the thrill it once was, but yet the youngsters, who by then have run off their calories, look forward to this part of the program, and yes, even the oldsters enjoy it! Speaking of program, most likely everyone present can recall having taken part in it in one way or another. The program through the years has taken on every aspect in the entertainment field, and as one One that stands out is Bob Cline telling us "That's Good; That's Bad" well --- and Jim Longshore's tale about "No More Squoles". In this annual "talent show" there have been reminiscences by the senior members; guitar and accordian playing; trios and quartets; solos; tap dancing; patriotic readings; you name it, we've had it!

In the 1800 Bucks County Census, he is listed with the unmarried men. He and Elizabeth Weaber were married by Isaac Hicks, J.P. on January 20, 1802 in Middletown Twp., Pennsylvania. Elizabeth is listed as a spinster. (She was 19). Her name on almost all Genealogical records (including, LDS records) is Warner. Her mother's maiden name was Warner and I believe that she took that as her own maiden name after her marriage. The tombstone of David Longshore says that he came to Ohio in 1806. It also states that he was 79 years 9 months 8 days old. Later census records say that he came from Pennsylvania. After his wife Elizabeth (Warner) died on August 8, 1840 he married Elisabeth (Betsy) Benton on June 20th 1842. Betsy and her husband lived on a farm next to the Longshores. David and his brother, Euclydus bought land together in 1811 and David lived in the same place the rest of his life.

Description An account of the resource [page 1] [corresponds to unnumbered page 1] Compiled by Carlton Burrer June, 1983 [hand written on right] Early Delaware County -- Sunbury and Community Introduction As we pause to remember the 175th anniversary of the establishment of Delaware County as a separate political subdivision of the State of Ohio, consideration should be given as to the conditions which existed in 1804 and to the life style of the people and the hardships the people endured in those early days. First of all, as we travel about the towns and countryside, observation should be made as to the contour of the land and try to visualize how it must have been before the roads were laid out and improved. Consider how it was possible to cross the various streams of water, on foot or by horse and buggy before bridges were built and the roadways graded to make the approaches gradual and easy to maneuver. Notice that the Public Square and the bordering streets, Columbus, Cherry,Vernon and Granville occupy nearly all the naturally level land in the Village of Sunbury. As originally laid out by the Myers brothers in 1816, Morning, North, Evening and South streets formed the boundaries of the Village. Even these close-in streets, while the plat looked good on paper, [word crossed out] parts of the streets could not be used because of the irregularities in the land surface. It is to be noted that South St. was never [underlined] used. During the early years there was on open stream and valley extending from north of what is now Harrison St. east of its junction with Otis St. which ran in a southwesterly direction, past the north side of the Masonic Temple, under the Veterinary Clinic at N. Vernon St., past the north side of Dr. Livingstons house, under the intersection of Morning and N. Columbus Sts., through the front yard of Ronald Wilson, under the house adjacent thereto; on underneath the new Cemetery Entrance and West Cherry St., where it discharged into Prarie Run. When N. Vernon St. was first extended to Harrison St. a stone culvert had to be constructed to permit the water to flow under the new extention. As recently as 1939 an open stream and ravine went, north east to south west, through the center of the field where the Sunbury Playground was constructed. The waterway originated northeast of East Cherry St. continued SW under Granville St., through the low ground south of the Telephone Equipment building, under S. Vernon St., on under S. Columbus St near Frakes garage, through the Nestle Co. property where it emptied into Prarie Run. Considerable grading had to be done when the Railroad was built in 1873 and Letts Ave. did not connect with South Columbus St until the underpass was installed several years later. The Granville St underpass was not installed untill the late 1920s and all the traffic had to cross over [underlined] the railroad tracks for quite a number of years. The early expansion of the Village took place when there were nothing but dry dusty streets in the summer, and icy, rutted and muddy streets during the rest of each year. Certain areas in the Public Square were soft and swampy during parts of the year. Of course there were no telephones until the late 1800s -- communication along the railroad was by telegraph -- there was no electricity until about 1906. In the late 1800s a group of private citizens, among them John Longwell, Elias Kimball, Al Williams, Nelson Ramsey and Dr. Gerhardt had a large gas Title A name given to the resource Early Delaware County Sunbury and Community (p. 1) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/6b18c51a3b49d32808225b9cb1b85d2a.jpg 3255ff260c03cbea9c7fc3bb04787276 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2] well drilled in Nelson Ramsey's pasture field (Sunbury Playground) found some gas and had lines laid to their homes and to the Blakely- Williams Department Store at Cherry and Vernon Sts. The supply only lasted a short time and the pocket filled with water. Small quantities would bubble up through the water and build up pressure enough in the large (8 or 9 inch) well pipe so that light could be had for skating parties held on the pond in the wintertime. By the 1920s even that small quantity failed. Another, smaller well was drilled just east of N. Columbus St. on the north side of North St. hoping to find gas to fuel the engines at the Mill. That venture was also un-successful. Internal combustion engines fueled by natural gas, kerosene or light oil have been available only since the early 1900s so that except for [word crossed out] large and ponderous steam equipment all work to get jobs done had to be by man-power, or by the use of horses, mules or oxen. Earth and gravel or stone had to be moved by hand-shovel or by horse drawn, man controlled, slip-scrapers. Any material moved more than a few feet had to be shoveled into horse or mule drawn, iron-tired wagons. Dump-wagons were developed so that the sides or bottom could be released and then would have to be chained or clamped back into place for each load. Considering all the physical labor involved it is easy to understand why it took so many years to get large projects completed, particularly the extensive grading needed to lay the large tile and move the earth from the high spots to cover the tile and fill the ravines. By 1911 the finish grading had been done and most of the streets paved. This writer can remember heavy paving bricks laid by hand on the old 3C highway between Sunbury and Galena and in areas within Sunbury. It involved teams of men,down on their knees laying two, three or even four courses of the brick from one side of the roadway to the other on a piece-work basis; back and forth all day, with few pauses between courses to rest. Just imagine anyone being willing, or able, to do such work today.---With all the power tools and equipment we now have is is difficult for us to imagine how hard it must have been to fell the trees, cut them, and finish them into suitable boards, planks timbers and lath, to erect the structures which were so well put together; all by hand, so many years ago. Even the foundation stones had to be/quarried, moved by wagon or sled to the site, then cut to the desired shapes and laid; all by hand hammers and chisels. Even the bricks which were used to build houses and chimneys were often formed, dried, and baked from native clay found at the building site. Iron nails to hold the planks and boards in place in those old, but solid, frame houses, were forged by hand, sometimes locally. When the Farmers Bank building was erected in Sunbury in 1872, all the stone was quarried along Big Walnut Creek. Large blocks were hauled and deposited on the north side of the Public Square. A crew of Italian stone cutters was brought in to cut and shape the stone into the various sizes, shapes an designs; even to the round columns, fluted pilasters and finials as called for in the architects plans. A decorative pedestal for the peak of the frontal design was even sculpted from a single, [word crossed out] large piece of stone and hoisted to the top of the finished structure. Just recently when trenches were dug to lay wires for new lights along the walks on the Square, a quantity of the spalls and stone chips from this project were thrown along the north walk up to the top of the ground ^ . Several of the these were picked up and compared with stone saved from the original building. They matched exactly. Trenching in other areas of the Square failed to expose any similar stone.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to page 3] The Villages and country side have always been fortunate in having good palatable water. Big and Little Walnut Creeks and Prarie [Prairie] Run are fed with many springs, as were the streams which ran through the town of Sunbury. Private wells could usually be dug or drilled and clear, sweet water found near the surface. This good water is one of the elements responsible for the growth of the area from its earliest days. In recent years it must be acknowledged and credit given to the assistance The Nestle Company has presented; financially, as well as by providing use of its tools, personnel and equipment; when needed, in the development of the Sunbury water programs. Many will remember the very long dry spell experienced in 1953 when the water table dropped so far that the Water Plant wells gave out, springs dried up and all the little pools of water. above the dam in Big Walnut were channeled by men with hand shovels to permit as much to drain into the pumping station inlets as could possibly be coaxed into the system. Being about to give up with no rain in sight, it was noticed that water was flowing in Little Walnut [underlined] Creek from just above the Cheshire road on south. Local farm tank truck haulers were recruited, the new Fire Department Pumper and some small portable units were pressed into service and The Nestle Co, which was using raw milk at the time, diverted their large tankers, as they could be spared, and the water brigade began. A conveniently accessible pool in the creek was located and the crisis was at once averted until the rains came. Believe it or not, we pumped and hauled water from that one pool for several days and were unable to pump it dry. The story has been told that, at one time, one of the farms along Little Walnut Creek had an artesian well which flowed continuously the year around. From our experience there must have been several of them working at the time. Two other elements which helped in the growth of the community, were the many perches of good stone along Big Walnut Creek and the fine stands of trees of many varieties suitable for building purposes and for firewood. Another favorable feature in the development of Sunbury was that it was laid out at the intersection of two expanding trade routes and was sited far enough away from other large centers so that it became a convenient overnight stop-over point, back in the stage coach era. The surrounding land was mostly fertile for farming and for the grazing of livestock. With the influx of many industrious people:-tradesmen, farmers, dairymen, growers of livestock, builders and merchants, the future of the villages and community was assured. ***The Beginning, Development and Growth of the Mill & Light Plant*** There is one necessity common to all living creatures---everyone and every thing must eat [underlined] on a regular basis...The more primitive the environ- ment the more difficult it was, and the more time had to be spent, to find and prepare food for existence. Basic requirements have always been--food and shelter[underlined]. As new settlers began to arrive and virgin territory was opened, people began to band together to pool their efforts and assets, to secure easier and more comfortable living. With flowing streams at hand, those individuals mechanically inclined, set about harnessing the available water-power to perform the onerous tasks of sawing wood and grinding grain.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 4] Mills began to be installed at locations where satisfactory flow could be obtained, by building dams to impound the water or where there was sufficient natural fall created by a bend in the stream, to divert part of the flow into a man-made new channel where the speed or pressure of the water could be made to turn a wheel and thus create plentiful and cheap power. Mills began to be constructed along Alum creek and Big and Little Walnut. One enterprising family in Galena, the Carpenters, secured land for a mill-race just north of the juncture of Big Walnut and Little Walnut Creeks. Since the flow and level of Big Walnut was higher than that of Little Walnut a wonderfully fast and reliable race was created for use. The Carpenters had built and operated mills in the Wyoming Valley area of Pennsylvania before coming here. Business must have prospered for the John Jacob Burrer family in the stone cutting profession and in the family tavern and store. He had brought his family from Germany on a sailing vessel to Sunbury via New York,with a stop-over to visit a brother who lived in Medina County Ohio and a short period in Delaware, where a son, John Edward was born. In 1857 he had purchased a log cabin in Sunbury, located on E. Cherry St. near the new Cemetery entrance. It is now designated as #44 and has been shingled on the outside so that the logs do not show. The house is still standing and is occupied. Court House records indicate that it was built in 1802 [underlined]---before Delaware County was formed or the Village of Sunbury laid out. The last three of John Jacobs children were born there in 1857, '59 & '63. The old cabin and family home on lot #19 was transferred out of the family name to A.D. Gammill in September 1901. also In August 1857 John Jacob ^ purchased a plot of land along Big Walnut creek from John Knox as a 'Stone Purchase' and later he became a partner with Henry Fleckner in the operation of a Stone Quarry. John J's. oldest daughter married Mr. Fleckner and they lived in what is now #10 N. Walnut St. which is on the Sunbury-Licking Township line at the end of East Cherry St. At that time it was far outside the corporation limits of Sunbury. The house and barn are still standing and the property forms the west bank of the Big Walnut Valley. About ten years after purchasing the log cabin as a home for his young family, he purchased lot #44 from Cornelius Wilcox. This was (and is) the first lot north of the Hopkins House on the west side of the Public Square in Sunbury. On it he built a stone building with a stone-walled and roofed cellar underneath for use as a tavern and store. It is understood that light lunch and other refreshments were available there for travellers and those attending the livestock sales being conducted periodically on the Public Square in the early days. No doubt the bidding became more spirited after refreshments. By 1871, John Jacob's eldest son was 23 years of age (he was 7 when they came from Germany) and the father and son, Gottlieb Jacob, purchased from Henry and Sarah Boyd the old 'Bailey' water-powered flour and 'grist' mill, which had been built in 1848, and was located down in the creek valley bottom-land behind Harry Fleckners barn. The flow in the creek had been diverted further upstream into a pond and there was a 'right-of-way' through John Knox land for a Title A name given to the resource Early Delaware County Sunbury and Community (p. 4) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/924fdf342716588cacf2efc80de913e4.jpg 264e4cb6dd5ea7ea6890c5fe77e044f2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This Mill Property contained a little over 26 acres of land, in addition to the right-of-way, and $3500.00 was paid for it, the buildings and machinery. Mr. Boyd had previously purchased the 'Van Sickle' mill from his brother Jacob Boyd and had moved the machinery from it to the 'Bailey' mill. The 'Van Sickle' mill was the first in Trenton Tonship. It was built by John Van Sickle in 1835 and was situated one half mile north-east of Sunbury on Big Walnut. It had a 'brush' dam for water diversion and it was later replaced with one built out of planks. He sold it to E.M. Condit who operated it from 1855 to 1862 and then sold it to Jacob Boyd. Judge F.B. Sprague, who came from Delaware, later bought into the partnership with the Burrer father and son, he having had experience in in the milling business. Mr. Sprague had certified the mill purchase agreement as Justice of the Peace on June 16, 1871. With business rapidly increasing it soon became evident that the flow of water in the creek was not sufficient to operate the mill the year around to take care of the demand. It was determined that the mill and its machinery should be moved into the Village and steam power be pro- vided to run it. In 1875 foundations were laid for a new building and boiler-room to be built. The building was frame construction and the boiler-room was of stone to be fireproof. The building site was in the north-east corner of N. Columbus and North Streets. Mr. Samuel Shriver Gammill had moved his saw-mill from Kingston Township and it occupied the other one-half of the land between N. Columbus St. and N. Vernon St. on the north side of North St. Mr. Gammill also operated a Hoop factory in connection with the saw mill. Agreement had been reached with Mr. Gammill that he would supply the wood-slabs/and sawdust to burn in the new boilers, and he would construct the frame building for the mill. A|very tall and large, round chimney, or smoke stack had to be erected on a heavy stone base to assure that burning wood-embers would not spread over nearby structures. The son, Gottleib Jacob (known to everyone as 'Jakie') had become enamored of Mr. Gammill's daughter, Amy Ann, and they were getting married. Mr. Gammill therefore, also agreed to build a house for them to live in, on the south side of Morning St., on in-lot #4 across from the mill. All this was accomplished and the mill was moved from the creek into Sunbury. At that time the small stream and ravine still existed, down through the saw-mill property and alongside the new mill. A tile was laid and covered over with dirt and stone fill but for many years whenever there was a hard rain, water would exceed the capacity of the tile and flow into the mill basement and into the bucket-type elevator 'boots' and plug up the flow of grain in the mill. One can imagine the mess this [word crossed out] would make, especially if water remained in the basement for an hour or more. A large steam engine was purchased in Mt. Vernon and shipped by rail to Sunbury. The new railroad trestle over Big Walnut creek was then unuseable so the heavy engine had to be unloaded on the south side of the Croton Road where the stone quarry loading winches were located, moved down the hill on heavy wagons or sleds, forded across the creek just north of where the new bridge is now located, by horse, mule or oxen teams; and on in to the new mill engine room.

Gottlieb Jacob (Jakie) now 26 years old was made Executer of John Jacob, leaving the mother, Barbara Catherine a widow at the age of 54, daughters Frederika and were Nannie, two additional sons John Edward and Frank aged 20 and 12 ^ at home and unmarried. The move into Sunbury was successful, however, and with a much more accessible location and reliable power at hand to drive the mill stones, there was plenty|for everyone to do. The community began to grow rapidly. The Farmers Bank had been organized in 1872, the railroad was completed; the Enterprise (first newspaper) started, the brick school house built, on the hill (corner of Harrison & N. Vernon Sts), all in 1973. In 1974 the Rome Grange #741 was organized. In 1875 a Protestant Episcopal church was organized in Galena. From 1875 through 1891 many new organizations and associations were formed in the comm- unity. In 1892 the Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery was formed and a building was constructed on the east side of S. Columbus St., near the rail- road and Depot. This meant that the farmers had a convenient cash market for their milk and cream, and butter could be locally produced and sold in quantity. Mr. Kimball Sedgwick was named secretary & manager. By 1886 machinery had become available to process wheat into white flour, by means of matched sets of steel rollers; and by the use of proper screens and sifters various parts of the wheat, oats, rye and barley could be separated out in the grinding process for livestock feed and other uses. This meant that to be competetive, a major expan- sion was necessary at the mill. The French mill-stones or 'buhrs' were retained for cracking corn and making meal but the mill structure had to be expanded. At the same time 6 large and tall bins were constructed for the storage of grain for both processing and reshipment. At that time the engine room was not expanded since the steam engine and boiler could handle the added load. Anyone familiar with roller mills and the manufacture of white flour will understand the amount of line shafting, belts, pulleys, clutches and spouting required in such an undertaking. The conversion was completed, however, and a new era began in the milling business in the Sunbury community. An exact accounting of the sequence of events which followed during the next 15-20 years is not recorded, but can be summed up as follows;- While associated with the father and the boys under the name of 'Sprague & Burrer' Mr. Sprague was a Justice of the Peace, but upon being appointed Probate Judge in the County, he soon gave up his interest in the milling business and the enterprise continued for a time as 'Burrer Brothers'. After white flour became available, the 'tavern' aspect of the store and tavern on the Public Square was dropped and ovens installed in the building to operate as a Bakery, thereby promoting the marketing of the new 'White Loaf Flour,'as the product was named. John Edward, having learned the milling business, became interested in the bakery. Frank continued on full time in the mill with his brother Jakie. Frank never married but Jakie and his wife Amy Ann started to raise a family of their own in the house across from the mill. Their first born child (March 7, 1886) was given the name of Sprague, after the early partner, and the middle name Gammill from his maternal grandfather. Then followed 4 more boys, all within a period of 8 years.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 7] As this second generation grew and became able to work in the mill, John E. and Frank began to look for other locations to continue their profession. In 1893 John Edward married Margaret, the daughter of Remolus Hyatt who lived in a log cabin just north of Sunbury. (this cabin was torn down recently to make room for the erection of the DeVore Funeral Home at that location). Jakie and John purchased a mill in Centerburg and Uncle John and Margaret moved there to make 'Tip Top' flour. Uncle Frank secured a mill in Westerville, moved there and spent the rest of his life there. Soon thereafter the Sunbury operation name was changed to:- G.J. Burrer & Sons, a title which continued for many years. Sprague, the eldest boy was killed in an accident while playing in the mill when he was only 10 years of age. The Townley-Ports Scrap Book, available at the Community Library, describes this happening in detail, calling it 'A Horrible Accident', with a date of Aug. 6, 1886. Little Sprague had been reading a story-book at the time the third child was born on June 6, 1886. The hero in the book was Paul Parker which became the name of the new-born. In volume #111, page 73 Delaware Co. Recorders Office, is a Quit Claim Deed, signed by all living survivors of John Jacob Burrer, transferring the south 60 ft. of Lot #44 (the Store & Bakery) to J. W. Barker. It had been used by the family from 1867 to 1899. Uncle Parker Burrer remembered going there to Uncle John and Aunt Maggie's bakery as a small boy, and bringing home 6 large loaves of bread for a quarter. Their daughter, Esther the oldest of five children raised, passed away in Columbus June 6, 1983 at the age of 89 and laid to rest with her mother in Oak Grove Cemetery in Delaware where they had spent the last years of life. In volume #74, page 380 Gottlieb Jacob and his wife Amy Ann conveyed to Louisa Catherine (Mrs. Henry Fleckner), his aunt, the Boyd (Bailey) mill property on Dec. 1, 1879, the mill machinery having been moved into Sunbury in 1875. ********The Light Plant******** By 1906 Karl Ormond Burrer had graduated from Denison University and obtained his masters degree in Electrical Engineering, having spent his youth working around the mill with his father, uncles, and three brothers. He had been spending his summers,when not in school or teaching, at the mill. Jakie and the boys considered that in the evenings when it became too dark to operate the mill, there would still be 'a head of steam' in the boiler which could be profitably used to generate electricity. While at Denison, Karl had helped to 'wire' the new Science Hall and had therefore, become familiar with method of enclosing the wires and devices in rigid, iron condit, as was then recommended for use in areas involving explosive dust. Accordingly they proceeded to purchase a small generator (or 'Dynamo'), as they were then called, and connected it with a long drive belt to the steam engine in a fashion so that the dynamo could be operated with or without running the mill. At first, lights were installed only in the mill and Jakie's house across the street. The lights at night worked and the new system was a success but was operated only ^ until pressure went down in the boiler. Soon the people at the Methodist Church, across from the mill, on N. Columbus St. thought it would be nice to have the new lights and the 'boys' were glad to accomodate. From then on, others wanted the service and there was no\turning back....

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 8] So much happened around the mill and light plant during the twenty years following generation of the first electricity that to try to describe the events and put them on paper 'boggles the mind'. The mill business continued to grow with more and more farmers raising grain as a cash crop. Livestock and fine horses were being raised and shipped out of the area. Cream stations were set up at strategic collection points thruout the community and payments were made in gold [underlined] picked up at the Bank. Butter was made at the creamery and shipped by railroad in tubs and in 1 pound packages. Ice had to be cut at the creek and stored in ice houses to keep the butter solid and sweet in shipment. Even hay[underlined] was purchased from the farmers and stored in a large barn along the railroad for shipment. Additional storage bins had to be erected by another addition to the mill and cleaning and automatic weighing installed so that the various types of grain could be used or held for shipment when market prices were most favorable. New buildings had to be built, one called the 'oyster shell house', the 'flour shed', the 'feed shed' the 'dynamo room', the 'shack' for electrical supplies and the 'barn', first to house the horses and wagons, with a hay mow overhead, and later to house the trucks as they came into use. During the harvest season the mill would be running all day to make flour and commercial feed products and continue on into late night and early morning to receive the farmer's crops, clean the grain and haul it, by wagon or truck, on down to the railroad to be loaded into waiting box cars on the siding. The box cars ll had to have a^ small openings sealed with heavy, reinforced paper so that small grains would not leak out during shipment. Some of the cars were in such bad shape when received that they could not be used and were ordered replacements ^ . They had to be loaded and moved out within a certain time or 'demurrage' would be charged by the railroad. The same would be true on incoming shipments of matrials such as oyster shells or winter wheat sometimes needed for flour making. Along with all the mill activity, work was progressing to string wires around over town and poles set, where needed, to distribute the new a 'electricity' as fast as the houses could be wired. It is ^ fact that only Mrs. Kimball, the banker's wife wanted the electricity ^ to run her water pump. She already had the finest gas fixtures available for lights. Blakely-Williams Store and other places of business had gas lights and some small heating stoves but most wanted the electricity too. A few families had washing machines operated by gasoline engines but|wanted them converted to electric motors. O.W.Whitney had a water pump with a long handle on it and a large pressure tank in the basement of his new house across the street from the mill, and it was one of the boy's jobs to pump up the pressure each day after school. John Longwell who lived in the big yellow house on Lot #1 (N.Vernon at Morning St.,) in Sunbury, had a large, open-top, lead, water tank in his attic. It was enclosed in a wooden box, with sawdust for insulation, to prevent freezing in winter time. He had a filtered, double cistern for water supply, and a hand pump in the basement with a gauge to tell when the attic tank was full. When it was electrified, a float operated switch had to be installed to make the system automatic and keep the tank from overflowing. All the early plumbing in that house was lead. According to most recent information [word crossed out] the tank is still there but no longer in use, of course. There may be others who had the same arrangement.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 9] It is very obvious that, with all the increased activity, help had to be recruited to take care of the demand. Some still living can remember when the mill had to be operated 'around-the-clock', especially when Herbert Hoover was director of Belgian Relief and small mills all/around the country were ensisted into making flour to be shipped overseas. A few years ago, someone who had lived in Sunbury when the mill was in its heyday, was at Palo Alto California visiting the Hoover 'Peace Tower'. They noticed some colorfully embroidered, linen, flour one sacks and were surprised to find ^ prominently displayed, bearing the State of Ohio Seal and the legend--Sunbury Mills, The Famous White Loaf Roller Flour, G. J. Burrer & Sons, Sunbury, Ohio. Request was made to have a commercial phographer make and send to Sunbury a color negative of the sack. The curator was kind enough to have this done and sent along a copy of the letter describing the situation in Belgium at the time of the relief effort, and how, in appreciation for the food sent, the Belgian women had chosen some of the must colorful of the thousands of sacks sent, embroidered the features thereon and sent them to Mr. Hoover as a memorial to the great national effort. Hazel M. Davidson came to work in the mill office in 1919 and continued there until 1945. She then moved with the office to the Sunbury Elevator after the corporation, G. J. Burrer Mill and Elevator Co. was formed. In 1949 she then moved to The Galena Brick Co., until retirement. She has helped this writer to make a listing of those who have worked at the mill and light plant from time to time. Miss Davidson had been preceeded by--Grace Domigan and Eleanor Huston, both of whom were teachers and came to the mill in spare time; Bill Fontanelle, Earl Snow, Robert Sherbourne, Harry Snow, Rev. Schneider, Jesse Doane Sr., Clarence Stockwell, Marion Park, Hoyt Whitney, Bill Whitney (Hazel told that Bill had trouble because of the excessive dust; Bill Fontanelle told him to try a big chew of tobacco and that would help. It did--(it made him sick and he never returned), Vada Edwards, Sterling Grove, Dale Bailey, Wright Wormell, Mr. Schoenlaub, Callie Piper (Hallie Day's father), Clarence Cross and Lester Cross. After WW I, before electric lines were extended out into the countryside, the family became central ohio distributor for the Lalley Light Co of Detroit Mich. Headquarters was in Sunbury with branch offices and display rooms on N. Sandusky St. in Delaware, and on the old High St., viaduct, north of the Union Station in Columbus. Lalley Light was in competition with Delco, both of them making 32 Volt, DC systems. Lines of 32 V appliances were available for use with them; Vacuum Sweepers, Fans, Washing Machines, Irons and toasters. The Light Plants were purchased in Car-load lots direct from the factory and many some were sold and installed, ^ as far away as Marysville and Urichsville. The houses and outbuildings had to be wired with very heavy wire because of the low voltage, and on laundry and ironing day, the plants had to be run continuously to supply enough current. Westinghouse came out with a 110 Volt system about the time lines were being built out into the country. That killed the farm light plant business. This to writer can recall going ^ the [three letters crossed out] Ohio State Fair for a week each year holding demonstration of Light Plants and helping in a tent, baking biscuits and bread, to extoll the quality of White Loaf Flour. Going therefore to the fair ^ had ceased to be an attraction. The power plant at the mill was expanded three times to keep up with addition of milling machinery and electrical generating capacity.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 10] When Natural Gas was piped into Sunbury, a 2 cylinder, 25 HP and a 3 Cyl, 35 HP, vertical, stationary gas engines were installed, one on each end of a main line-shaft, in the enlarged engine room. An open-top concrete 'pool' was constructed to permit cooling water to be circulated with a spray system to cool the new engines. They were connected to the main drive-shaft in such a manner as to permit either or both of them to power a new generator separate from, or together with, the mill. This system then permitted electricity to be furnished to midnight, and on later^ , for 24 hour service. The late Joseph Landon told the story that when he was a boy living with his father and mother, (Mr. & Mrs. John Landon), he became very sick late at night. The local doctor was afraid to move him and called a specialist to come up on the night train from Columbus. The trouble was diagnosed as acute appendicitis and the appendix could burst at any time. The specialist said that if a good strong light could be obtained they would operate right there on the kitchen table. Mrs. Landon told her husband to call 'Jakie' to see if he would start-up the light plant. Jakie did, the operation was successful and the boy's life was saved. After a few more years an additional natural gas engine and belt driven generator had to be installed. It was a larger two cylinder unit, 60 HP, made by Westinghouse. Not long after that a 90 HP, semi-diesel, Anderson Oil engine was installed, together with a direct-connected generator and a large switchboard so that the outputs of all three generators could be combined when necessary. Each of these internal combustion engines had to be started by using compressed air to start them rotating, before the fuel supply was turned on. There was no[underlined] way to start them by hand. air Whenever a leak would develop in the large ^ storage tank, or in one of the lines leading to it, a separate small engine driven compressor had to be started and wait for sufficient pressure to be built up. This was the last major expansion and by this time a full-fledged system was in operation, with each customer on a separate meter, with monthly billings and 24 hr. service. A new Utility Company, The Suburban Power Co had been formed with headquarters in Utica, Ohio. Their purpose was to buy up small generating plants across the country, establish appliance stores and extend electrical service into the rural areas. An offer was made to the mill ownere which seemed satisfactory and in 1926 all the equipment and the electrical distribution system was turned over to them. The Columbus & Southern Ohio Elec. Co built a high tension line from Westerville to Centerburg and the Sunbury system was soon connected to it. The Westinghouse and the Anderson engines being no longer needed were dismantled and moved for service elsewhere. After World War I was out of the way, attention at the mill was given a to the development of ^ line of specialized feeds for poultry, cattle and hogs. A small laboratory was set up and formulas worked out for products under the name of Burco Feeds. Feed grinding and mixing equipment was installed and a new phase of the business was under way. Trucks were now becoming available and a chain-driven, solid tired 'Republic' was purchased, the horses and wagons disposed of and the space in the barn used for the trucks and for storage of commercial feed. With faster transportation available, flour could now be delivered to stores in Delaware, Ashley and Mt. Vernon. Soon thereafter a 2 1/2 ton Packard[underlined] truck was acquired. It was one of the first series without[underlined] chain-drive. The Columbus Body Works made an alweather cab for it, and even though it had hard rubber tires, it was a 'jewel' and everyone wanted to drive it.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 11] By 1927 a new pancake flour had been developed and was packaged in small quantities for sale in stores. These new products received favorable acceptance in the area. Business in the mill continued to be good until the world-wide depression struck in 1929. In the early 1930s a local farmers co-operative group was formed and they built the Condit and Sunbury grain elevators. After a short period it was determined that the community could be better served if the co-operative and the mill owners joined and formed a corporation. It was called the G. J. Burrer Mill & Elevator Co with Karl O. Burrer as its President and Manager. The elevator in Mt. Liberty was acquired. A new office was set up in the Sunbury Elevator and used as operating headquarters. The office at the mill was closed, and it was operated as a branch. This new arrangement proved to be satisfactory for a few years but as communications began to improve and national advertising by the large midwest producers took effect, the products/of Pillsbury, Ralston-Purina and others began to appear in the stores locally. Farmers no longer brought their 'grists' to the mill to be ground but sold their grain for cash and purchased flour and allied products in the stores. As this the large gas engines trend continued to grow ^ ran less and it became more economical to use individual electric motors to do occasional specialized jobs. Finally it was agreed that the mill had become a liability to the stock- holders and the land, buildings and machinery were sold into other hands for dismantling and disposal. With the corporation manager 1944 in having been injured in ^ an accident at the Sunbury elevator, it was agreed that, since he would be no longer able to continue actively in the business, the remaining assets were sold to the newly formed Delaware County Farm Bureau. Mr. Parker Burrer retained the old Centerburg mill for other use. It had not made 'Tip Top' flour for several years. Thus the era of the old mill and power plant is ended. Part of the land is now occupied by the Creme Corner and the balance by the True Value Hardware/Napa Auto Parts building. The lot which contained the Tavern- Store-Bakery passed through the hands of J. W. Barker, C. A. Root, R. J. Gelston & O. K. Baker and Richd Glesencamp,(as service station owners), to The Lawson Co at this writing. All the activity associated therewith is now past history. Addenda: Credit should be given to the fact that, under the section discussing early water-power mills along Big Walnut Creek, The Gaylord Mill was really the first[underlined]; but not[underlined] in Trenton Township. It was built by Nicholas Manville in 1810 on Big Walnut near its juncture with Rattlesnake Creek. It was then[underlined] in Sunbury[underlined] Township, as was the Village of Sunbury when it was laid out by the Myers brothers in 1816. Ownership of this mill passed to a Major Strong in 1817 and to Eleazor Gaylord. It was known for many years as the 'Gaylord' mill but,of course, never made white flour. In 1816 Mr. William Myers (brother of Lawrence Myers) operated a Tannery, just across the creek and to the north-west of this first mill.

The author feels that "the present generation stands too close to the monument to take a just view of either its height or its beautiful proportions and that men shall have to get away from it a generation or two in order to under- stand its grand effect upon the surroundings, and the measure of its shadow"; and hence prints these few pages only as a tribute to his memory and a souvenir that may assist in keeping green the remembrance of the Christian warrior's noble life.

HIS BIRTH, LIFE AND DEATH. The last survivor of Ohio's great military quar- tet, - Grant and Sherman, Sheridan and Rosecrans, - has been summoned from earth and "The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo." His war record is written on the pages of American history, and as time goes on will be brighter and greater and better known, when time-servers and applause-seekers have had their day. To those who had the pleasure and honor of knowing the old hero in the avenues of private life, the news of his death came accompanied by the one thought that "An empire is his sepulchre His epitaph is Fame." William Stark Rosecrans was born in Kingston Township, Delaware County, Ohio, September 6, 1819. The name Rosecrans, originally Rosenkrantz, is Dutch and means a Crown or Wreath of Roses. The paternal ancestors of the subject of this memorial were Dutch, coming to America from Amsterdam and settling in Pennsylvania near Wilkesbarre. In 1808, Crandall Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 13) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/15a0ac1997e7c681ddddd8644689b377.jpg 1dda2a9a9b94bac0651beaf8ac0980c8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 10 of Major-General William Stark Rosecrans: hero of Iuka, Corinth and Stone River, and Father of the Army of the Cumberland] Rosecrans moved to Ohio, locating in Kingston Town- ship, Delaware County, near the line of Licking County. He was married to Jemima Hopkins, a rel- ative of Stephen Hopkins, Rhode Island's signer of the Declaration of Independence, of whom John Adams says: "the pleasantest part of my labors for the four years I spend in Congress, from 1774 to 1778, was in the naval committee. Mr. Lee and Mr. Gasden were sensible men and very cheerful, but Gov. Hopkins of Rhode Island, above 70 years of age, kept us all alive. Upon business his experience and judgment were very useful." Hopkins is an Irish name and the ancestors of General Rosecrans' mother originally came from Ireland; so that in his veins were mingled Dutch and Irish blood. His father, Crandall, was a Captain in one of General Harrison's light-horse bri- gades in our second war with England. He received his second name, Stark, in memory of the famous Revolutionary General Stark of New Hampshire, many of the people of that State having moved to Ohio, in the vicinity of General Rosecrans' birthplace. On December 5, 1894, the writer officiated at the burial of an aged lady near Brandon, Knox County, not far from the Licking County line, and in his note book is the following entry: - "Death of Mrs. Hulda Collopy, age 77. She was a granddaughter of the Revolutionary Chapmans of Vermont and New Hamp- shire. Her father served in the war of 1812. In her childhood days she was a schoolmate of General and Bishop Rosecrans.

When the future General was yet quite young, his father moved across to Licking County, taking up his residence in the village of Homer, and for a number of years, managed the village tavern, at the same time following farming. William attended, for a few months of each year, at the log school-house of the village, acquiring the rudi- ments of education. About 1833, a Lancaster mer- chant, George Arnold, opened a general country store at Utica, Licking County, a few miles from Homer, and young Rosecrans went into the store as a clerk. With him, associated as a clerk, was J. D. Martin, still living and a venerable citizen of Lancaster, Ohio. Arnold moved his store to Mansfield in the course of a year or two, Rosecrans accompanying him. One conversant with the facts says: "While at Mansfield young Rosecrans was the driver for T. W. Bartley, the future Supreme Court Judge of Ohio, on a trip to Columbus. He proved to be an intelligent and inter- esting talker and so pleased Bartley that he urged him to obtain an education." With this in view, Rosecrans and his father opened a correspondence with the Con- gressman from that district and finally he was success- ful in obtaining an appointment to West Point. In the mean time he had spent some time at Kenyon College, Gambier, near Mt. Vernon, preparing him- self for the West Point examination. He entered that institution in 1837, and graduated in 1842, standing fifth in general merit and third in mathematics in a Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 15) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/40ac471d7f920ed00bd1492c7664d8c4.jpg 643f33c1f1f0a24161979875a176d820 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He entered the ser- vice as Brevet 2nd Lieutenant of Engineers, and after a year as Assistant Engineer, building fortifications at Hampton Roads, Virginia, he returned to West Point in 1843 as Assistant Professor of Engineering. In 1847 he was again put in active sevice at Fort Adams, Newport, Rhode Island, to superintend some repairs on that fortification. April 1, 1854, he resigned, [image: "W. S.

THE CIVIL WAR. At the beginning of the Civil War he volunteered as aide to Gen. George B. McClellan, who was then commanding the department of the Ohio, and assisted in organizing and equipping home guards. He was appointed chief engineer of Ohio, with the rank of colonel, on June 9, 1861, and on June 10 was made colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteers. Soon after organizing Camp Chase at Columbus, O., he received a commission as brigadier-general in the reg- ular army to date from May 16, 1861; he took the field with command of a provisional brigade under Gen. McClellan in western Virginia. His first import- ant action was that of Rich Mountain, which he won on July 11, 1861. After Gen. McClellan's call to higher command, Rosecrans succeeded him, on July 25, in the department of the Ohio, which consisted of western Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. He had command of the national forces, defeated Gen. John B. Floyd at Carnifex Ferry, September 10, 1861, and thwarted all Lee's attempts to gain a footing in western Virginia; and when he went into winter quar- ters at Wheeling, and announced that he had cleared West Virginia of organized Confederate forces, he received the thanks of the Legislature of that State and of Ohio for his management of the campaign.

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 14 of Major-General William Stark Rosecrans: hero of Iuka, Corinth and Stone River, and Father of the Army of the Cumberland] One of the queerest experiences of military history was his work in the spring of 1862, when he found and extricated Gen. Blenker, who had actually lost himself and his command in the mountains of West Virginia and whose whereabouts were unknown to his superior officers. In May, Rosecrans was sent to Gen. Halleck, who gave him command of the right wing before Corinth. BATTLES OF IUKA AND CORINTH He succeeded Gen. Pope in the command of the Army of the Mississippi and, with four brigades, fought the battle of Iuka, September 19, where he defeated Gen. Price; after which he returned to Corinth, where, anticipating an attack, he fortified the town, and on October 3 and 4 defeated the Confederate army under Van Dorn and Price. On the first day of the battle the enemy was simply checked, and early on the morn- ing of the second day the whole rebel army assaulted Rosecrans' forces. The fighting was fierce, the enemy charging almost into the town. Once, the Union troops came near giving way, but Rosecrans rallied them in person and finally won the day. After this battle he received a letter from Lincoln couched in these words: "I have received the reports of the various com- manders. I have now to tell you that the magnitude of the stake - the battle and the results - become more than ever apparent. Upon the issue of this fight depended the possession of West Tennessee, and per- haps even the fate of operations in Kentucky.

They were commanded by Van Dorn, Price and others in person. They numbered 40,000 men - almost double your own numbers. You fought them into the position we desired on the 3d, punishing them ter- ribly; and on the 4th, three hours after the infantry went into action, they were completely beaten.

I congratulate you on these decisive results. In the name of the Government and the people, I thank you. I beg you to unite with me in giving humble thanks to the Great Master of all our victories." Rosecrans was much impressed by Sheridan's fight against the Confederate cavalry under Chalmers at Corinth and persistently and successfully urged the authorities at Washington to give him a command in which his ability and qualities would be more widely useful. This fact gave rise to the saying so commonly heard in after years, that Rosecrans "discovered" Phil. Sheridan. On October 25 he went to Cincinnati, where he found orders awaiting him to supersede Gen. Don Carlos Buell and was made commander of the DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND. which was to consist of whatever territory south of the Cumberland he should take from the enemy.

After providing twenty days' rations at Nashville, he advanced on the enemy under Gen. Bragg, on Stone River, December 30, 1862. This battle lasted four days. A current account of it says: "The right wing was commanded by Gen. A. Mc- Dowell McCook, a brave and gallant officer, and he had under him as brave a corps of men as ever faced an enemy. Early on the morning of the first day's battle McCook's corps was fiercely attacked by the enemy in force and driven pell mell to the rear, but not without first making a most determined and dread- ful fight, suffering heavy loss. "This attack of the enemy commenced about 6 o'clock a. m., before daylight, and before many of McCook's men had finished their bacon and coffee. "The heavy firing on the right naturally attracted the attention of Rosecrans, who had been closely watch- ing the movements of Bragg. About 9 o'clock on the morning of that day he saw that McCook's men were falling back rapidly and in disorder, and that some- thing must be done and be done quickly to check the enemy's advance on his right wing.

It was a storm of shot and shell in which the right wing of the Union army was being driven like straws before a cyclone. Realizing the dreadful position into which the rebels were speed- ily crowding him, Rosecrans, unattended by guard or staff, rode quickly into the thickest of the fight, and, drawing his sword, waved it over his head and yelled to his retreating men to halt, face and fight the enemy. "The sight of 'Old Rosy' in the thick of the fight, exposing his life every moment, so inspired McCook's brave but broken ranks with sudden enthusiasm and determination that the retreating line halted, 'about faced,' and delivered a volley of musketry into the enemy's ranks that staggered and checked their fur- ther advance. "Two days later the battle was renewed by a furious assault on the national lines, but after sharp fighting the enemy was driven back with heavy loss. "Unwilling to engage in a general action, the Con- federate army retreated to the line of Duck River, and the Army of the Cumberland occupied Murfrees- boro. This battle was one of the bloodiest in the war, and resulted in a loss of 9,511 men by the national forces and 9,236 by the Confederates. As soon as Vicksburg was beyond the reach of possible succor from Bragg, by a brilliant flank movement Rosecrans dislodged him from his intrenched camps at Shelby- ville and Tullahoma, and in fifteen days, June 24 to July 7, 1863, drove him out of the middle of Tennessee.

He reached the river on the evening of August 20 and the army, except the cavalry, safely crossed. Bragg withdrew from Chattanooga and re- tired behind Chickamauga until the arrival of Long- street's corps. Thus the first great move of Rose- crans' campaign was accomplished. He then began to concentrate his forces with the utmost dispatch to meet the inevitable combat. The battle was commenced on September 19 by an attempt to gain possession of the road to Chattanooga, con- tinued through the day, and resulted in Rosecrans defeating the attempt and planting Gen. Thomas' corps, with Johnson's and Palmer's divisions, firmly upon that road; but during the night Longstreet came up and was immediately given command of the Con- federate left. On the following morning the contest was renewed by a determined attack on the national left and center. At this moment, by the misinterpretation of an order, Gen. Thomas J. Wood's division was withdrawn, leav- ing a gap in the center, into which Gen. Longstreet pressed his troops, forced Jefferson C. Davis' two bri- gades out of the line, and cut off Philip H. Sheridan's three brigades of the right, all of which, after a gallant but unsuccessful effort to stem this charge, were ordered to reform on the Dry Valley road at the first good standing ground in rear of the position they had lost.

The remainder, nearly seven divisions, were unbroken, and continued the fight. The gallant Gen. George H. Thomas, whose orders the night before, reiterated a few moments before this disaster, were to hold his position at all hazards, continued to fight with seven divisions, while Gen. Rosecrans undertook to make such dispositions as would most effectually avert disaster in case the enemy should turn the position by advancing on the Dry Valley road, and capture the remaining commissary stores, then in a valley two or three miles to the west. Fortunately, this advance was not made, the commissary train was pushed into Chattanooga, the cavalry, ordered down, closed the ways behind the national right, and Gen. Thomas, after the most desperate fighting, drew back at night to Rossville in pursuance of orders from Gen. Rosecrans. On the 22d the army was concentrated at Chattanooga. The battle was a victory to the Confederates only in name, for Chattanooga, the objective point of the cam- paign, remained in the possession of the national forces. The total national loss, in killed, wounded and missing, was 16,179; the Confederate loss, 17,804. Shortly after the battle General Rosecrans issued the following letter, which old veterans love to refer to as a summing up of the great campaign under his command: HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND.

You have accomplished the work of the campaign; you hold the key of East Tennessee, of Northern Georgia and of the enemies' mines of coal and nitre.

The losses you have sustained, though heavy, are slight, considering the odds against you, and the stake you have won. The General Commanding earnestly begs every officer and soldier of this army to unite with him in thanking Almighty God for His favor to us. He presents his hearty thanks and congratulations to all the officers and soldiers of this com- mand, for their energy, patience and perseverance, and the undaunted courage displayed by those who fought with such unflinching resolution.

In 1865, he was offered the Union nomination for Governor of Ohio, but declined. In July, 1868, he was appointed minister to Mexico and held that office until June, 1869, when he returned to the United States and, later, declined the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio, expressing views antagonistic to the platform. He advocated the policy of having bank notes made payable in coin on demand; he also favored an early return to the specie basis and took decided ground for free trade, civil service reform and State regulation of the franchise. Subsequently he resumed the practice of engineer- ing, and in 1872-3 was engaged in an effort to initiate the construction of a vast system of narrow gauge rail- ways in Mexico, at the instance of President Juarez. He became president, in 1871, of the San Jose Mining Company, and in 1878 of the Safety Powder Company in San Francisco. He was also intrusted with a charter for an inter-oceanic railway from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, made by the Mexican republic under considerations urged by him when envoy to Mexico, and he was requested to use his influence to induce American railway building skill and capital to under- Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 26) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/0fc88e46c8ddca567fb726f3c14da639.jpg b3df5a799ff083f8121b595917af14c5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He memorialized Congress to cultivate friendly and intimate commercial relations with Mex- ico, and to assist and encourage the material progress of that country, and at the instance of American and English railway builders, and of President Juarez, he went to Mexico. He had for fifteen months so ably discussed in the newspapers the benefits of rail- way construction to Mexico, that the Legislatures of seventeen of the Mexican States passed unanimous resolutions urging their national Congress to enact the legislation advocated, and the Governors of six other States sent official recommendations to the same effect.

In 1880, he was elected as a Democrat to the lower house of Congress, from California; carrying a strong Republican district. In the House he was Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, having been re- elected in 1882.

A rancorous debate ensued on its passage, owing to the fact that when a similar bill placing Grant upon the retired list was up for passage, Rosecrans, then a member of Congress and Chairman on Military Affairs had persistently opposed it. During the debate, many members who had served in the Army of the Cumberland, came valiantly to the defense of the old hero, and as one said: "We can afford to forget what Gen. Rosecrans may have said, but we can not afford to forget what he did." The bill finally passed with- out division. Rosecrans retained office as Register of the Treas- ury under President Harrison, until failing health forced him, a few years ago, to seek repose in the climate of California, where, on his ranch some ten miles from Los Angeles, he calmly awaited the end of life.

Hancock, Sheridan and Sher- man were all in love with California's gorgeous cli- mate, its blue skies, its perennial vegetation, the infi- nite peace that settles upon the land, the exuberance of its soil and the mysterious Pacific, with its wonder- ful flora and fauna. General Grant was making prep- arations to end his days in California when he fell ill. All along the coast, from Seattle to San Diego, are to be found old soldiers spending their declining years in surroundings the very opposite from those that accompany the life of the fighting man. Gen. Rosecrans came to California in 1867. At that time San Francisco had yet all the bizarre aspects of a city near the gold mines. Southern California was a wilderness of sand and sage brush, tangles of cacti, fields of alfalfa and other vegetation native to the soil. Gen. Rosecrans had determind beforehand to buy land in California, but when he made inquiries he was amazed to find great unanimity of opinion to the effect that beyond the mid-line of the state there was nothing worth having. ARRIVAL AT LOS ANGELES. He was still "looking around" when good luck threw him in the way of Captain Banning, one of the pioneers of southern California. Captain Banning per- suaded him to take a trip on his boat to San Pedro. On the four days' voyage the General was struck with the absence of harbors all along the rugged coast. He was discouraged.

However, he visited Los Angeles, then a settle- ment of a few cheap houses. On his way he stopped at an old adobe "half-way" house, and standing on the eminence, he cast his eyes over a stretch of coun- try 1,000 miles in area, as it seemed to him. Speaking of that sight he said, a little time before his death: "I saw at a glance around me all this glorious val- ley, with the mountains forming three-fourths of a circle to the back and on both sides of me, and the ocean in front, sounding then and eternally. It was a brilliant day, a specimen day of the 300 perfect ones we have in this climate. I thought I had never seen such a sky, nor such colors in the atmosphere along near the ground and over against the mountains. Here, I said to myself, I will buy land and build me a home, for if water can be developed, I may be certain to have neighbors in the not too distant future." DWINDLING OF HIS ESTATE. That view settled it. He would buy land there from the government and from the handful of unsuccessful pioneers who were already convinced that the country could never amount to anything. And he did. He acquired for a song an estate of 14,000 acres. Most of that superb property the General lost in the mining holes of Nevada. At present all that is left of it is a ranch of 1,100 acres. But that much was sufficient to gratify his passion for farming.

The mansion is not really a house, but a collection of houses of a rude exterior but com- fortable enough within. The General farmed wisely after the theory of the Southern Californian. "Measure the value of your land," says Senator Jones of Nevada to the settler in Southern California, "by what it will bring in wheat and barley." All but 300 acres bear deciduous and citrus fruits, eucalyptus trees for fuel, a potato field, and a strawberry bed. HIS LAST DAYS. Here, with his son Carl, he passed the last days of his life in peace and serenity. His home was a modest one. There were some family portraits, not- ably one of his wife, whom he married in the forties and who was the daughter of Judge Hegeman, a prominent New York lawyer. She died during his official life in Washington. In his home, also, were his old war mementoes,-maps, reports, flags and swords and a substantial library of scientific works. One of his favorite papers was the "Scientific American." His last days were crowned, on Laetare Sunday, March 14, 1896, by a visit from Bishop Montgomery, accom- panied by members of the clergy and laity of Los Angeles, who went down to his ranch to formally present him with the medal and address which the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, annually bestows on a Catholic layman noted for extraordinary devo- tion to Church or State.

This little river still bears its Indian name - Chicka- mauga (river of death) - and how significant since September 19 and 20, 1863, when near and about its banks was fought one of the greatest battles of modern times, a battle that will go down in history with Auster- litz, Waterloo, Marengo, and Gettysburg, a battle that a general engaged in it compares with Flodden Field, where both Surrey of England and James of Scotland believed the other army was vanquished and neither could claim a victory. Pages and volumes, tons of literature have been written about the great battle of Chickamauga and still the question remains a disputed one. It is interesting to note that Gen. Rosecrans suc- ceeded in command of the Army of the Cumberland another Ohio-born general, also a convert to the Catholic Church, Gen. Don Carlos Buell, born near Marietta, Ohio and still living in the vicinity of Louis- ville, Kentucky.

First, it is maintained that Chickamauga was not a Union defeat; second, Gen. Rosecrans was not properly sustained by the Washington authorities, notably Stanton, the famous war secretary; thirdly, that Rosecrans was not in favor with higher authorities on account of his political and religious beliefs, being a War Democrat and a Catholic. To the last assertion we give but little credence; pos- sibly it entered into the history of those days, but, if so, only to a minor degree; and here we would call attention only to the other two. Was Chickamauga a Union defeat? Most emphatically, No! In defense of this I append an editorial that appeared some years ago in the columns of the Columbus Dispatch, for the reason that it states the question and answers it in most concise and clear terms: CHICKAMAUGA HISTORY REVIEWED "The fields of Gettysburg and Chickamauga are especially worthy of adornment, not because more chivalrous courage was displayed on them than else- where, but because they mark not only important events, but critical periods in the great civil war. At Gettysburg it was demonstrated that a confederate army could not permanently occupy a free state. At Chickamauga it was shown that a federal army, after fighting its way for three hundred miles through a hostile country, could cross rivers, climb mountain ranges, contend for two days against superior num- Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 37) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/b80bd32c53ea839987d7a65698d7ae57.jpg 41f4ff31ab122115ac43bb8ea231048a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After Gettysburg the Army of Northern Virginia, under Lee, lost all desire for offensive warfare; and the confederate general, D. H. Hill, says: "The olan of the Southern soldier was never seen after Chickamauga - that brilliant dash which had distinguished him on a hundred fields was gone forever." "It has been alleged that Chickamauga resulted in the defeat of the Union army, and that Rosecrans' campaign south of the Tennessee was unsuccessful. Let us see how much truth there is in this allegation. If Lee, after fighting the battle of Gettysburg, had moved on to Harrisburg, and occupied that city to the end of the war, would his campaign have been regarded as a failure or a success? Grant was roughly handled in the Wilderness, and the enemy after pounding him for two days, and inflicting upon him great loss, took position and awaited his assault, but he did not make it; on the contrary, he moved on towards Richmond. Was Grant defeated? No. Again, he found Lee across his path at Spottsylvania Court House, and after a long battle and frightful losses he left him where he found him, and resumed his march towards Richmond. Was Grant defeated here? No. At North Anna he found Lee again obstructing his pro- gress, and moved around and beyond him.

Do historians claim that all battles referred to were federal defeats? Not at all. Neither history nor popular opinion will admit that Grant ever suffered a defeat. Now, in the light of these admittedly suc- cessful operations, let us run through an epitome of the history of the Army of the Cumberland. "Rosecrans assumed command of the Union forces, subsequently known as the Army of the Cumberland, in the latter part of October, 1862, a few weeks after they had, in part, participated in the battle of Perrys- ville, Kentucky. In the following December he at- tacked the Confederate army under Bragg, near Mur- freesboro, and after a fierce contest continuing for four days, won the battle of Stone River. After fortifying Murfreesboro, with a view to making it a depot of supplies, he resumed his march southward, drove Bragg from his fortified camp at Tullahoma, and pur- sued his retreating columns beyond the Cumberland Mountains and the Tennessee River. The Confederate army now concentrated at Chattanooga. In this posi- tion it could not be disturbed by a direct attack. Rest- ing on the northern bank of the Tennessee only long enough to make arrangement for bringing forward his supplies, Rosecrans crossed the river, struggled with his long supply train over two mountain ranges, and descended into the Chickamauga valley; thus threat- ening not only the railroads upon which the Confed- erate army depended for subsistence, but menacing Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 39) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/6a70244b44fef2e01d4fc4dbe5102327.jpg d515749244c32ce261f94bbbdeb0a242 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The objective of the Union general was Chattanooga, the key to the railroad system of the South. Bragg now abandoned Chattanooga in order to put himself between the Union army and his base of supplies, and at the same time appealed to the Confederate govern- ment for reinforcements. The reinforcements he called for were immedately supplied. Buckner, with a divis- ion, hurried to him from the vicinity of Knoxville, and Longstreet, with a corps of 15,000 men, was trans- ferred by rail from Richmond to Chickamauga. Then, on parallel lines with both armies at equal distances from Chattanooga, there began on both sides a con- centration northward toward the prize for which Rose- crans was struggling. The purpose of the federal army was to reach Chattanooga; that of the Confed- erate army to prevent it. And while rapidly shifting northward toward the place it had set out to seize and hold, the Union army was assailed, not in a position of its own choice, but in one selected by the enemy. After the first day's fighting both armies sought and secured new positions. After the second day's battle the Union army, following the trend of its previous movements, moved to Rossville, three or four miles nearer Chattanooga than in the field on which it had fought, took position there and awaited the coming of the enemy. The enemy came, but not in force. The fact is, the Confederate army had had all the fight- ing it could stand, and hence permitted the Army of the Cumberland to march deliberately and leisurely from Rossville into Chattanooga.

What constitutes a victory? The posses- sion of a few barren hills and ridges over which armies may march and fight? If so, Rosecrans' movement from the Cumberland to the Tennessee was a succes- sion of the Union victories, for every foot of it was over hostile territory. There are two things, either of which may make a victory; first, the destruction of an army; second, the winning of the prize for which two armies contend. The Army of the Cumberland was not de- stroyed. In fact, with fewer men than the enemy, it inflicted greater loss upon the Confederates than it sustained. By an unlucky blunder its right wing was disabled early on the second day, but by such fighting as has never been surpassed, the army maintained its ground until there was not a shot to answer nor an assault to be repelled, and then deliberately took pos- session of the prize for which it had been contending. From that time forward Kentucky, Tennessee and Ala- bama were practically free from the incursions of the enemy. The importance of Chattanooga in a military sense was not even second to Vicksburg. The occu- pation of the latter by Union troops left the Mississippi unobstructed from its head waters to the Gulf. The occupation of Chattanooga opened the gate by which the Union army could march almost unopposed to the sea. It may be said the Army of the Cumberland did not alone expel Bragg from the heights of Mis- sionary Ridge. True; but if that army had not seized and held Chattanooga, the troops under Sherman and Hooker could not have concentrated there, and the Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 41) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/9adff915059f2e02f7cde0a23ded6e83.jpg 11f8993e1f3e7e507af6c110acdb403c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As to the second, Was Rosecrans properly sup- ported by the Washington authorities? No. Not long ago a New York paper told the story by way of anecdote, - an anecdote that is more to the credit of Rosecrans than might be a whole chapter of history. The words of the New York paper were: "The campaign which ended in the occupation of Chattanooga and which included the great battle of Chickamauga was one of the most brilliant of the whole war, when the conditions under which it was carried out are understood. Gen. Rosecrans started from Murfreesboro June 24, 1863 with the Army of the Cumberland, which had been promised support from Burnside's army of the Tennessee. Gen. Bragg, the Confederate commander, had been re-enforced by troops from Virginia under that brilliant and able officer, Gen. Longstreet. Regardless of the counsels of commanders, the clamor of the press and the prin- ciples of military science, Rosecrans, with the army of the Cumberland, was sent to dislodge an enemy of equal strength from a country well known to him and well adapted on account of its mountainous char- acter to defensive tactics. "Governors Austin of Pennsylvania, Andrew of Mas- sachusetts and Yates of Illinois offered to send Rose- crans seven regiments of two-year veterans, who were willing to re-enlist on condition that they should go as mounted infantry to the army of the Cumberland, but Secretary Stanton, who was implacably hostile Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 42) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/a156a7d554a180aebb53e00bb073fcfe.jpg 22d1a81d8d29008399a53cf9ac699ec6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Gen. Lovell H. Rousseau bore a letter to the secretary of war explaining how very important the service of such a body of men would be in guarding the long line of communications which would have to be kept open in the advance upon Chattanooga. When the secretary read Gen. Rosecrans' letter, he said to Gen. Rousseau: "I would rather you would come to ask the command of the army of the Cumberland than to ask reinforcements for Gen. Rosecrans. He shall not have another d----d man." "So the army of the Cumberland set out alone, and this, in brief, is what it accomplished under the general to whom Stanton refused to send 'another d----d man': Dislodged the enemy from two strongly fortified camps; crossed the Cumberland Mountains, the Ten- nessee River, Sand Mountains and Lookout Mountain; fought the battle of Chickamauga, and on September 22, 1863, just 92 days from starting from Murfrees- boro, 119 miles away, held Chattanooga, the objective of the campaign. "Thus Rosecrans, in a campaign of 92 days, secured and held Chattanooga, the gate through which Sher- man and his army entered the Confederate wall when starting for the sea." The following brief extract from "The Army of the Cumberland," written by Henry M. Cist, brevet brig- adier-general, throws some light on the treatment Rosecrans received from the Washington authorities: "On March 1 (1862) Halleck, as Commander-in- Chief of the Armies of the United States, wrote a let- Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 43) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/5abe7638ab8d4fef74b1e66ec789133d.jpg 810b5ea5db17fc9be64a598f0b03e66f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Grant very quietly folded up the letter, put it by for future reference and proceeded with the plans of his cam- paign, saying nothing. To Rosecrans' open, impulsive and honorable nature, engaged with all his powers in furthering the interests of the Government and the general welfare of his command, this letter was an in- sult, and he treated it accordingly. On March 6 he prepared his reply and forwarded it to Washington. In this letter he informed the General in Chief that 'as an officer and as a citizen he felt degraded at such an auctioneering of honors,' and then added: 'Have we a general who would fight for his personal benefit when he would not for honor and for his country? He would come by his commission basely in that case, and deserve to be despised by men of honor. But are all the brave and honorable generals on an equality as to chance? If not, it is unjust to those who prob- ably deserve most.' "The effect of this letter was to widen the breach between the authorities at Washington and Rosecrans. Halleck's letter and Rosecrans' reply were both char- acteristic of the men. From this time forward all the requests of Rosecrans for the improvement of the efficiency of his army were treated with great coolness, and in many instances it was only after the greatest importunity that he was able to secure the least atten- tion to his recommendations for the increased useful- ness of his command."

GENERAL MANDERSON, Senator from Nebraska, in a masterly oration deliv- ered in 1895, says: "And yet, in spite of abundant available testimony, Chickamauga is declared by those either ignorant or jealous to have been a defeat of the Federal arms, and the non-fighting croakers at Wash- ington indulged in much paper bombardment of those who planned the campaign. A victim was demanded, and Rosecrans was cruelly sacrificed. His services from the beginning of the war were ignored. No rec- ollection of Stone River moved to respect for that abil- ity that we who had served under him knew he pos- sessed. The vilification of Rosecrans by these carping critics was abuse of the grand army he led from Nash- ville to Murfreesboro; to 'victory plucked from the jaws of defeat' and victory most pronounced at Stone River; through the Tullahoma campaign to the final occupation of the objective point of all military en- deavor, from the days of 1861 when the troops of the Union crossed the Ohio River. Rosecrans came to us with the halo of battles fought and won, and secured not only the confidence but the affection of his men, who gave the soldier's characteristic evidence of it by giving him a familiar nickname and to us of that time he is still 'Old Rosey.'

GENERAL A. WILEY says: "The campaign of Rosecrans was bold, enter- prising, vigorous. By his sound judgment and vig- ilance he anticipated and countered every movement of his adversary. Throughout he exhibited the high- est degree of moral courage. That he failed of accom- plishing all he attempted was no fault of his own, nor was it due to any lack of the highest soldierly qualities of the army he commanded. It was attributable to the superior advantages for rapid concentration which interior lines afforded his adversary, and to the total failure of support and co-operation on the part of Burnside, on which he had been told, at the com- mencement of the campaign, he could rely." GENERAL PHIL SHERIDAN in his "Personal Memoirs" says of Rosecrans' removal from the command of the Army of the Cumberland: "He submitted uncomplainingly to his removal and modestly left us without fuss or demonstration, ever maintaining that the battle of Chickamauga was in effect a victory. When his departure became known, deep and almost universal regret was expressed, for he was enthusiastically esteemed and loved by the Army of the Cumberland from the day he assumed command until he left it."

V. BOYNTON, still living and a prominent journalist in Washington, who at all times has insisted that Rosecrans was not properly supported by the authorities at Washington, a fact which seems now to be pretty well established. One writer, in summing up the whole campaign, says: "It was one of the most brilliant of the whole war, when the conditions under which it was carried out are understood, and opened the way by which the troops of Sherman and Hooker were concentrated and was the entering wedge by which the former com- menced his historic march to the sea through Georgia and the Carolinas." GENERAL ROSECRANS broke the silence of years in 1880 to publicly contra- dict the current statement that the only order issued by him on the day of the battle was the one that opened the fatal gap in the Union lines, all the other orders being attributed to his chief of staff, General Garfield. In contradicting this statement, from all responsibility in regard to which he chivalrously exonerated Gen. Garfield, Gen. Rosecrans speaks of it as "another out- cropping of the historic lies about Chickamauga which began in a gigantic conspiracy through the press to cover up the crime against our country which was per- petrated in sending the Army of the Cumberland, alone and unaided, over an almost barren wilderness, across the Cumberland Mountains and Lookout Range into the mountains of Northwestern Georgia, 150 miles from its nearest base of supplies, to encounter the con- Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 47) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/4e768bb421509ca877ac0e8b280621b6.jpg ec8d8d65bb5b9e56879d58ae4286084f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Burnside, with 42,000 effectives, was sent 200 miles away into East Tennessee, where he could not weigh a feather in the contest; the Gulf Department, by its expedition under Herron into Texas, was wholly incap- able of making diversion on the gulf coast which would detain a single man from our front, and the Army of the Potomac was so inactive as to permit Lee to send Longstreet's whole corps to join in crushing us." History has, however, rendered tardy justice to Gen. Rosecrans; and its verdict may be summed up in these words of Gen. Boynton, who, after speaking of Chickamauga as crowning with success the last cam- paign of Gen. Rosecrans, and being "matchless in its strategy, unequalled in the skill and energy with which his outnumbered army was concentrated for battle," says that had Rosecrans "crossed the river in front of the city and captured it with even greater loss, the country would have gone wild with enthusiasm. Had he been properly supported from Washington, he would have entered it without a battle, since if there had been any show of activity elsewhere, Bragg's army would not have been nearly doubled with re-enforce- ments and thus enabled to march back on Chatta- nooga after its retreat from the city." Practically, the battle was a Union victory, won by Rosecrans' masterly skill and indomitable perseverance; and, as Gen. Hill admitted, it "sealed the fate of the Southern Confed- eracy."

After his removal from the Army of the Cumberland, public feeling once more turned toward him and there was a general sentiment in and out of army circles that he had been unjustly dealt with. So strong was this feeling that well informed politicians thought that he would add strength to the Republican ticket, and in June, 1864, Garfield telegraphed him from Bal- timore asking him if we would accept the nomination for Vice-president on the ticket with Lincoln. Though always a Democrat and intensely loyal, after consult- ing friends he wired back a message that virtually was in the affirmative. Garfield always claimed he never received the message and so Andy Johnson was put on the ticket. It has since been pretty well established that Stan- ton suppressed the message of Rosecrans, for Rose- crans was always "persona non grata" at the War Depart- ment, for the reason that he was not afraid to tell the truth. When war was a certainty, in 1861, Gen. Morgan, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, was summoned by Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 49) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/1d5501e669b84d4daa972a961e1b6025.jpg 3d415de2cac01bdc694ca5460a58e501 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scott. Asked what should be done with Robt. E. Lee, who had laid down his commission as an U. S. Army officer, he at once answered in his brusque way, "Slap him in jail, for if you don't, he will lead the secessionists." Stanton scoffed at this idea, but history proves Mor- gan was right. Stanton had no use for any man who happened to know just a bit more than he did. Rosecrans had a similar experience. He had opin- ions and plans of his own concerning the war, and like Morgan, did not hesitate to say that, knowing the people of the South, he knew the war could not be finished in a few weeks. Stanton at that time had a bad case of enlargement of the head - now politely called mental mumps - and insisted that the North could whip h--l out of the South before the summer was over. Morgan and Rosecrans and other officers of experience thought otherwise. Rosecrans, forti- fied by a brilliant record as an officer of engineers, and knowing Longstreet, Van Dorn and others of the South - they had been his classmates at West Point - received a cordial hearing from Lincoln and McClel- lan. His suggestions were not listened to, - Stanton would have none of them. Stanton's enmity was also increased by Rosecrans' letter to Halleck in 1862, mentioned previously in this sketch, and also by the fact that Rosecrans was cred- ited by the public with having "discovered" Sheridan.

Rose- crans' removal by his accepting the command, It was at Rosecrans' earnest solicitation that he reconsidered this determination. But he did not hesitate to say that the order was cruelly unjust. When Gen. Garfield left for Washington soon after the battle, he imme- diately charged him to do all he could to have Rose- crans righted." Whether Garfield ever carried out the wish of Thomas is uncertain to this day. The probabilities are, that knowing Stanton's hostility to Rosecrans, he never made the attempt. Garfield at that time was a member of Congress from Ohio and had stood for election in his district by the advice of Rosecrans, who said that he (Gar- field), having been in the field and knowing the needs of the army, would be able to do much good on the floor of congress whenever war measures came before that body. There has always been a lurking suspicion that Garfield in his ambition forgot his old commander and how much he owed him for his own success.

In com- pany with another cadet, now Very Rev. George Deshon, Superior of the Paulist Fathers of New York, he became interested in the claims of the Church and it was not long until his logical mind was convinced; and finally, two years after his graduation, while he was Assistant Professor of Engineering, in 1844, he was, in his own words, "baptized 'sub conditione' be- cause it was a vague tradition that in my early days a Protestant or Wesleyan Methodist minister at my grandmother's instance had baptized me, following the traditional ritual of the Church of England in so doing." Shortly after his marriage his wife also be- came a Catholic, and in 1846 he was instrumental in converting his brother, Sylvester, who eventually became the first Catholic Bishop of Columbus, Ohio, within whose diocese was located his birthplace, Homer, Licking County.

After the younger graduated, he paid his elder brother a visit, and as the two were taking a walk one day, they chanced to pass a Catholic church; whereupon the young lieutenant, to quote the words of one con- versant with the facts in the case, said to his brother: "It is high time, Sylvester, for you to put an end to this procrastination of yours; come in here and get baptized." Mechanically obeying the command, and entering for the first time in his life a Catholic church, the same authority tells the story of the Bishop's conversion: "They soon reached an altar, before which, to the young brother's surprise, shone a lighted lamp,' said the captain, 'in the Real Presence, for two graces, the grace of light to know the truth, and the grace of strength to follow it'; and with this he knelt down. Sylvester also knelt, as a matter of courtesy to his brother, but by no means to pray. He gazed around for a while at the works of art within reach of his eyes, but not being in the habit of kneeling long at any time, and his knees aching, he turned to look at his brother, whom he found absorbed in God. "The sight was too much for Sylvester. 'Wretch that I am,' said he to himself, 'while this truly good man is so earnestly interesting himself with Heaven for my soul's salvation, I am indifferent, as if it were none of my business.

Up sprang Sylvester, and with agitated steps he approached the captain. 'Well, Syl- vester,' whispered the latter, 'what will you do?' 'I wish to be baptized,' was the prompt reply; 'I hope the priest is at home.' Happily the priest was at home, and finding his caller already, thanks to his brother's good offices, well instructed in Catholic teachings, he had no hesitation in baptizing him and receiving him into the Catholic fold. Many years later, when the diocese of Columbus was erected, Rt. Rev. Sylvester Horton Rosecrans, who had been consecrated titular of Pompeiopolis, in partibus, on the feast of the An- nunciation, 1862, and appointed Auxiliary to Arch- bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, was transferred to the new See, and at once took possession of his vineyard." The following letter received by the writer some years ago, it need not be mentioned, is highly prized: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, REGISTER's OFFICE. Dec. 11, 1886.

It is told that at a most critical moment during the battle of Stone River, when McCook's men were wavering, he dashed to the front, exposing him- self to the enemy's fire. A young staff officer (no doubt Garesche, a great favorite of our hero and a Catholic) who accompanied him, begged him to retire to a place of greater safety and not expose himself to almost certain death. Rosecrans, urging on his horse, replied: "Never mind me, my boy, but make the sign of the cross and go in." In his "reminis- cences," now being published in McClure's Magazine, the late Charles A. Dana, assistant secretary of war under Stanton, states that he saw Rosecrans making the sign of the cross during the awful conflict at Chick- amauga. Both his great mind and his large heart were thor- oughly imbued with strong Catholic faith, and though not seeking occasion to outwardly manifest it to the world, it instinctively would crop out on certain occa- sions, sometimes when least expected. Some years ago, while passing through Ohio on a campaign tour with Hendricks, he reached Columbus one evening, taking rooms with his political companions at the Neil House. He soon excused himself from the party and wended his way out Broad street to the Cathedral, where he made inquiry for a priest, desiring to go to confession that he might the next morning go to Holy Communion for his deceased brother, the Bishop, whose remains rest under the altar of that church. At 6 o'clock the next morning he attended mass and Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 55) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/ebd2db1cd4c966108d3a29ce34780829.jpg ac6e06d271c2e5d6f16875af61746c00 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As he was returning to the hotel, he met one of his political friends who had been looking for him and who said: "Why! General, where in the world have you been so early this morn- ing? Your friends at the hotel are anxious about you, that you may not miss that early train." The old veteran answered: "Oh! I have been out to the Cathedral to pay my respects to Almighty God and to pray for my brother, who used to be Bishop out there." The answer, from other lips, might have seemed trivial, but coming from him in deep voice and reverential tone, it was beautiful. The two who heard it have always remembered it, - one a Cath- olic, the other a non-Catholic. The words, the far- away look in the old hero's eyes, the reverence of the voice, the early morning of a beautiful September day, all chimed to make it an occasion that the two present have never forgotten. It was this same spirit and simplicity of faith that caused him to pen the telegram that he sent from Cal- ifornia to New York on the occasion of the death of his brilliant son, Father Louis Rosecrans, a member of the Paulist Order. When telegraphed of the death and asked for any wish as to the place of burial, the wires bore back this sweet message: "Bury him beside his Paulist brethren to await the great Resurrection Day, and God bless all who have been kind to him." His sincerity also was the means of converting his wife.

"At night, when conversation took a relig- ious turn," says the same writer, "the General took the argument and carried it often into the realms of Mother Church, where the vehemence of his intellect and his zealous temper developed themselves thor- oughly. He had the Fathers of the Church at his tongue's end, and exhibited a familiarity with con- troversial theology that made him a formidable antag- onist to the best read, even of the clerical profession. He would admit no fallibility whatever in any depart- ment of his own Church, but he did not permit his strong reliance in the Church of Rome to warp his judgment in material things, especially in military mat- ters." On the morning of every important engage- ment, or perilous undertaking, it was his invariable custom to attend Mass and commit himself and his army to the keeping of the God of battles. Here is Major Bickham's description of how he begun the Stone River fight, one of the most glorious of his victories: "A little later (than the dawn of day) the dauntless leader of the army knelt at the altar and prayed to the God of battles. High (?) Mass was celebrated in a little tent opposite his marquee. Rev. Father Cooney, the zealous chaplain of the 35th Reg- iment of Indiana Volunteers, officiated, assisted by Rev.

What grave anxieties, what exquisite emotions, what deep thoughts moved the hearts and minds of those pious soldiers, into whose keeping God and their country had delivered, not merely the lives of a thousand men who must die at last, but the vitality of a principle, the cause of self government and of human liberty!" He was averse to all needless labor on the Lord's day, a fact that was so well understood by his staff, that Gen. Crittenden once said of his commander that "he did not believe the Master would smile upon any unnecessary violations of His laws." Firm in his own faith, "he never interferes," said an eye-witness of his acts, "with the spiritual affairs of any subordinate, regarding these as sacred personal matters, to be gov- erned by the convictions of each individual." At proper time and in the proper place, though, he was ever ready to speak for his faith and impress its truth upon others. The priests in the army were his par- ticular friends; and Father Trecy, formerly of Hunts- ville, Ala., was held in special regard by him because of his personal worth and the fact that his loyalty to the Union made it necessary for him to quit the South. He was attending a Mass celebrated by that clergy- man when the news was brought to him that his pray- ers for his country had been answered, that the enemy had fled and that the important battle of Stone River had been won.

TRIBUTES In a speech at the Chickamauga dedication, Mc- Kinley, then Governor of Ohio, said: "General Rosecrans, a graduate of great dis- tinction at the United States Military Academy in 1842, and who served in the army until 1864, was the commander-in-chief of the Union forces and was an honored citizen of our own State. He entered the vol- unteer service as colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio infantry. I recall him with peculiar tenderness and respect. He was the first colonel of the regiment to which I belonged, my boyhood ideal of a great soldier; and I gladly pay him my tribute of love for his tender qualities which endeared him to me, and the high sol- dierly qualities which earned for him the gratitude of the State for his magnificent service to the Union cause. Ohio is proud of him and in his old age and declining years I beg him to know that he enjoys the affection- ate regard of the old State, which will guard his fame forever." When the bill placing him on the retired list was before Congress some fourteen speeches were made on the occasion. I quote from a few: Gen. Cutcheon, of Michigan, said: "When the tocsin of war was sounded, Gen.

Rosecrans, in the very beginning, in West Virginia, gave us victory. Again in the far South- west, at Iuka, he gave us victory. He was promoted step by step from colonel to brigadier-general, and from that to major-general, and was placed at the head of the Army of the Cumberland, and again, in the closing days of December, 1862, at Stone River, he lighted the horizon of this whole country from edge to edge with the fires of victory. Then, following that, he gave us one of the most magnificent specimens of perfect strategy that the entire war afforded, in the Tullahoma campaign, when, almost without the sac- rifice of a life, he flanked Bragg out of his fortified position at Tullahoma and carried his army across the mountains into the valley of Chickamauga." Hon. O. L. Jackson, of Pennsylvania, who served four years in the army of the Tennessee, said: "It was Rosecrans who commanded and directed the brave men at Stone River on those fearful winter days when again the tide of battle was turned south- ward. It was under him Phil Sheridan first rode at the head of a division, and on this bloody field gave evidence of the high rank he was afterwards to attain. It was Rosecrans' skill and genius that maneuvered the enemy out of Chattanooga and gave the Army of the Cumberland a position at Chickamauga that enabled him to hold at bay Bragg's army, re-enforced by one of the best corps from the rebel army on the Potomac.

"Mr. Speaker, there was a day in the nation's peril when good Abraham Lincoln thought he ought to send the thanks of a nation to Gen. Rosecrans and the officers and men of his command for their great services in the field." Gen. David B. Henderson, of Iowa, who left a leg on the battlefield, electrified the House by his appeal in behalf of his old commander. In the course of his remarks he said: "As a member of the Army of the Tennessee, I fol- lowed both Grant and Rosecrans. I fought under Rosecrans at Corinth. I was with him in that battle, and he was the only general I ever saw closer to the enemy than we were who fought in the front, for in that great battle he dashed in front of our lines when the flower of Price's army was pouring death and destruction into our ranks. The bullets had carried off his hat, his hair was floating in the wind, and pro- tected by the God of battle, he passed along the line and shouted, 'Soldiers, stand by your flag and coun- try!' We obeyed his orders. We crushed Price's army, and gave the country the great triumph of the battle of Corinth. Gen. Rosecrans was the central, the leading and the victorious spirit." Gen.

He decoyed the army of Price on to the spot where he designed to fight the battle and the result was that he was vic- torious, and captured parts of sixty-nine different com- mands serving under Price and Van Dorn and the other Confederate commanders. In that important battle he saved the cause of the Union in the South- west. Rosecrans was a splendid soldier, a valuable officer and is now an honored citizen." Here is the manner in which he impressed the cor- respondent of the "Cincinnati Commercial," "W. D. B.", who was with him in the three months' campaign with the old 14th Army Corps, that terminated with the brilliant victory of Stone River. "Industry was one of the most valuable qualities of Gen. Rosecrans," wrote this correspondent. "Labor was a constitutional necessity with him. And he enjoyed a fine faculty for the disposition of military business - a faculty which rapidly improved with experience. He neither spared himself nor his subordinates. He insisted on being surrounded with active, rapid workers. He 'liked sandy fellows,' because they were 'quick and sharp.' He rarely found staff officers who could endure with him." And no wonder! The General was the first officer to begin work in the morning, and the last to leave off at night, never, so this same authority states, retiring before two o'clock in the morning, very often not until four, and sometimes not until broad daylight.

One more portraiture of Gen. Rosecrans, as he appeared to those who were associated with him when he commanded the 14th Army Corps may not be out of place here. "He had no taste for party politics," wrote Gen. Boynton, "having dismissed that subject until the rebellion should be crushed - a point upon which he expressed no doubts. And, indeed, he had never been a politician. Upon the general subject of slavery, he held the faith that had been proclaimed immemorially by his Church and by all nations which have pretended to civilization. * * * Upon belles lettres he opened a mine of rich lore, and charmed you, as well by the felicity of his illustrations, as by the pungent and comprehensive character of his criticism. It was not a little amusing to the author to read in a leading eastern journal, that in science and literature Rosecrans was probably the inferior of McClellan and Buell.

Geology and min- eralogy are specialties, and in those sciences he ranks among the most accomplished in the country." Let us add just one discordant note, penned by one who has gone to the other world. In Charles A. Dana's "Reminiscences," in the Feb- ruary number of "McClure's Magazine", there is a record of the impression Gen. Rosecrans made on Mr. Dana, who was with him in the Chickamauga campaign of 1863. Mr. Dana says of him: "While few persons exhibited more estimable social qualities, I have never seen a public man possessing talent with less administrative power, less clearness and steadiness in difficulty, and greater practical inca- pacity than Gen. Rosecrans. He had inventive fertility and knowledge, but he had no strength of will and no concentration of purpose. His mind scattered: there was no system in the use of his busy days and restless nights, no courage against individuals in his composition, and, with great love of command, he was a feeble commander. He was conscientious and honest, just as he was imperious and disputatious; always with a stray vein of caprice, and an overweening passion for the approbation of his personal friends and the public outside." It should be remembered that this estimate was made after Chickamauga; and that it is absolutely in contradiction of all other estimates made by those who had just as much, if not more, opportunity of study- ing the character of our hero.

Dana was a civilian and like many another in his day was ever ready to hastily criticize the warriors fighting the battles of their coun- try. As an offset to this opinion we need but place the kind words of such veterans, both of war and journalism, as Gen. Boynton, Col. Furay and Maj. Bickham. The "Ohio State Journal" said: "'Old Rosy' is dead. The hero of Stone River and Chickamauga, one of the few remaining commanders of the late war, has passed away. General William Starke Rosecrans died at his home near Los Angeles, Cal., yesterday morning, of the ailments consequent upon old age, in the 79th year of his age. "His war service embraced the command of the Army of the Mississippi, succeeding General Pope, the command of the Army of the Cumberland, with a campaign in West Virginia, his brilliant success at Carnifex Ferry sending him West. The battles of Stone River and Chickamauga were fought under his generalship, both engagements being among the blood- iest of the war. There was a disposition to censure Rosecrans for his conduct in the latter battle, but later developments justified the views of his friends at the time, that the Union forces had accomplished much, though at the expense of thousands of lives. But the gallant Rosecrans was hurt, not only by these misrep- resentations, but by the venom with which he was pursued.

This practically closed his military career, but he did not resign until after the close of the war. "With the flight of time, the severest censors of Rosecrans are willing to admit that he was as clever a strategist at Chickamauga as he was at Stone River, even though he had a largely reinforced enemy to meet. He was a great favorite with his men, and the boys who marched with him in the awful campaigns will hear of his death with unfeigned regret. He was a splendid fighter, possessed of a fine military mind and ample experience, but had a nervous temperament that at times unfortunately tended to obscure in the popular mind the brightness of his achievements on the field." The following estimate of Gen. Rosecrans appeared in the columns of the "Western Christian Advocate," a Methodist paper, whose editor, Dr. David H. Moore, was a soldier. It is entitled "Our 'Wreath of Roses.'" "There died last Friday, in Los Angeles, the ablest tactician among the great generals of the Civil War. An impartial study of the history of that immortal contest will show that in this respect no man, on either side, surpassed William Starke Rosecrans. Whitelaw Reid styles him the American Jomini. "Was there ever a better planned movement than that which resulted in the first fight 'above the clouds' where Rosecrans headed the 13th Indiana in a head- long charge that sent Pegram flying from Rich Moun- tain and Garrett from Laurel Hill?

Was there any other Union officer who outgeneraled Robert E. Lee? Yet when that incomparable Confederate leader undertook to win back West Virginia from our Wreath of Roses, capping the summit of Cheat Mountain, he was out- maneuvered at every point, his Kanawha division only escaping capture by the failure of Benham to obey Rosecrans' orders. Iuka and Corinth added new laurels to this Wreath, when Price and Van Dorn were compelled to acknowledge his victorious prow- ess. Had Phil Sheridan and not McCook commanded the pivot at Murfreesboro, there had hardly been a remnant of Bragg's army left. As it was, never was a battle-plan more speedily and successfully changed in the teeth of impending disaster. "The chess-board of the war has not witnessed more brilliant moves than those by which he maneuvered Bragg out of Tullahoma. Opinion will forever be divided on Chickamauga; but Chickamauga was fought for Chattanooga, and the prize was won. If there Rosecrans' military sun set, it bathed the heavens in its effulgence. "Three things are alleged to have blocked his way to the very front: his inability to select competent lieutenants; his kind-hearted reluctance to remove a commander whose weakness had been demonstrated; and his lack of tact in managing his superior officers.

Rosecrans, with a part of his staff and a few soldiers, rode out on the rearranged line to superintend its formation and encourage the men, and in the prose- cution of these objects moved around the front of the column of attack within range of the batteries that were shelling us so viciously. As he passed to the open ground on my left, I joined him. The enemy seeing this mounted party, turned his guns upon it, and his accurate aim was soon rewarded, for a solid shot carried away the head of Col. Garesche, the chief of staff, and killed or wounded two or three orderlies. Garesch's appalling death stunned us all, and a mo- mentary expression of horror spread over Rosecrans' face' but at such time the importance of self-control was vital; and he pursued his course with an appear- ance (?) which, however, those immediately about him saw was assumed, for undoubtedly he felt most deeply the death of his friend and trusted staff officer."

Several officers were riding along the road when they saw a cannon almost helplessly imbedded in the all-pervading mud of a cornfield. At the suggestion of the leader they left their mounts and, wading over to the group working to extricate this implement of war, lent their assistance. The men were cursing the weather, the mud, the horses, the gun, and more particularly and with greater freedom, Gen. Rosecrans, who, they said, had got them into all the trouble. In the latter particular they were all very fluent, with the exception of one trooper who was pushing at the wheel with one of the officers who was working hardest. While the others were doing bril- liant work in the way of reviling the General, he re- mained silent. Finally the gun was extricated from its earthly bed, and the unrecognized officer departed. Then the silent soldier spoke: "Don't you know, you blame fools," he said, "that Gen. Rosecrans was pushing that wheel with me?" "LONG-LEGGED JIM." Another favorite yarn with Gen. Rosecrans was about a soldier known as "Long-legged Jim." He was a brave fellow but fearfully lazy. On one occa- sion during a long, dusty march on a hot summer day, towards four o'clock in the afternoon, while marching through a bit of timber country, Jim could not resist the temptation to sit down on a log and enjoy the shade. His captain spoke up and urged Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 71) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/defdd505519c82576154b434ef647b81.jpg 1d60d159476ee49a71f041d2764a666d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jim threw down his gun and replied, "Cap, I'll be danged if I 'walk' another step to-day." The captain, knowing Jim thoroughly, answered, "All right," and the company kept right on over the brow of a neighboring hill. Very soon bullets were heard whistling through the branches of the trees and Jim, grabbing his gun, started after his companions, who by this time had come out in the clearing, and to avoid the deep dust of the road were marching along close to a rail fence. Jim came flying by at double quick in the middle of the road, and as he passed by the captain yelled: "Say, Jim, I thought you said you wouldn't walk another step to-day?" "Thunder and lightning! Cap., do you call this 'walking'?" answered Jim, as he ran by at double-quick. "WIDOW GLENN'S HOUSE." This is the famous spot, where Rosecrans held his last council of war before the historic 20th day of September, 1863. Here is a description of that scene from the pen of Capt. W. C. Margedant: "Widow Glenn's log house was, like all the houses of that kind, provided with a large fire-place, in which a bright fire was burning - perhaps the only fire within 15 square miles, on account of the order given not to light fires on that night for any purpose. The remains of a candle were stuck into a reversed bayo- net, lighting up dimly the battle map, which was spread out upon a cartridge box. The fire in the large chimney place flared up from time to time, illuminating the faces of those who took part in the council of war.

Description An account of the resource [page 73] [corresponds to page 69 of Major-General William Stark Rosecrans: hero of Iuka, Corinth and Stone River, and Father of the Army of the Cumberland] "There was Major-General Rosecrans, sitting, in full uniform and sword, on the edge of a rustic bed frame, bending toward the center of the scantily furnished room, listening and sometimes talking to General Thomas, who sat near the fire, occuping the only chair which had been left by the widow Glenn. There were other generals, commanding corps, divisions and brigades, some sitting on the rough-hewn barren floor, with their backs against the walls, while others stood up. "It was a picture well worth painting - this the last council of war on the field of battle - the dim, flaring light, the faces of the men who directed the battles, the bright metallic shine of the swords and uniforms, when the fire flared up in the primitive chimney. Sometimes, when there was a hush of silence in the conversation, we could hear, far in the distance in the enemy's lines, the arrival of trains and moving of troops, reinforcements, soldiers from all parts of the Confederacy. It was not the usual preparations of a Saturday night for a peaceful Sunday; nay, it was for the most bloody fight ever fought, September 20, 1863. There were a few short hours' rest left after the hardships of the first day's battle, and during this last war council of the commanders, the soldiers rested on their arms, awaiting the break of day to renew their deadly conflict.

It was one of those quiet, peaceful Sunday mornings enjoyed only in the country or the woods. There was no noise. Speaking was done in a whisper." Capt. Wm. C. Margedant, formerly Topographical Engineer on General Rosecrans' staff, contributed a very interesting series of letters to the Hamilton, O., 'News,' from which we quote the following remin- iscences: HIS INSPECTION. The manner of his inspection at once engendered a cordiality toward him which promised happy re- sults. The soldiers were satisfied that their comman- der took an interest in their welfare - a moralizing, agency which no capable general of volunteers can safely neglect. He examined the equipments of the men with exacting scrutiny. No trifling minutiae es- caped him. Everything to which a soldier was en- titled was important. A private without a canteen instantly evoked a volley of searching inquiries. "Where is your canteen?" "How did you lose it?" when? where?" "Why don't you get another?" To others, "You need shoes and you a knapsack." Sol- diers thus addressed were apt to frankly reply, some- times a whole company was laughing at the novelty of this keen inquisition. "Can't get shoes," said one; "required a canteen and could not get it," rejoined another. "Why?" quoth the general. "Go to your captain and demand what you need. Go to him every day until you get it. Bore him for it. Bore him in his quarters.

Bore him in bed. Bore him: bore him: bore him. Don't let him rest." And to the captains. "You bore your colonels; let the colonels bore the brigadiers; brigadiers bore their division generals; division generals bore their corps com- manders, and them bore me. I'll see, then, if you don't get what you want. Bore, bore, bore, until you get everything you are entitled to: and so on through an entire division." "That's the talk, boys," quoth a brawny fellow. "He'll do,,' said another; and the soldiers returned to their camp-fires and talked about "Rosy" just as those in Mississippi had talked who knew and loved him. THE "JACKASS BATTERY." Early in the campaign of West Virginia after the battle of Rich Mountain and the engagements of Philippi and Beverly, General Rosecrans conceived the plan of forming, what is now called, his famous "Jackass Battery." In taking up the march through the mountains they were almost daily compelled to face the enemy. The advancing column had to fight its way through the mountains, fight for the posses- ion of the woods, clear the valleys and sweep the hills. They moved forward under the greatest difficulties, and General Rosecrans designed a unique battery con- sisting of several hundred mules each carrying a cer- tain part of the cannons. The latter were very short, but had a very wide bore; the first mule carried the wheels, the second the lafette, the next the gun, and so on. The mountain roads were very narrow, often Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 75) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/17e9780c0165708c3df33ce0fd7bd179.jpg c5af5c4805a46a9ba796d55ceb71a818 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Whenever the army made a stop the "Mountain Howitzers" or "Jackass Battery" was brought forward and the can- non quickly put together and the firing could begin. The confederates could not stand these shells and al- ways gave the right of way. This "Jackass Battery" of General Rosecrans proved so effective that it was adopted through all the moun- tain regions. The English always on the alert for advantages, copied our custom and introduced it into their army. They mounted the gun on the mule, loaded the gun while it was on the mule, having for- gotten to note that the Americans placed the gun in proper position. They lighted the fuse of the loaded cannon, and the mule being frightened at the hissing sound suddenly wheeled around until the cannon faced the officers and the charge went off. History does not relate what became of the mule. THE WHEELING STOGIE. General Rosecrans was very fond of smoking cigars, but he was not particular of what weed the cigar was made. His favorite cigar was a Wheeling stoggie, a slim, irregular twist of tobacco, which would never get dry, and twisted around the finger. At that time this brand of cigars would sell for thirty-five cents a hundred. The general smoked these cigars, which were actually not of Havana aroma, when he rode at the head of the army through the mountain regions of West Virginia. The staff officers always tried to keep on the wind side of the general, so as to give the rising smoke, Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 76) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/f49a52ffa95f81a2417fdd3aa7d3e83c.jpg 9b435001fc0cbefb7c40c726f75e9a48 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It cannot be claimed that the general kept all of his treasure to himself. Cigars were at that time, in the mountains of Virginia, considered quite as much a boon as a white paper shirt collar was. On the contrary, whenever an officer rode to the front to make a report or to receive an order, the general would sink his hands into his well-filled pock- ets and taking therefrom a cigar he would address the officer as follows: "Have a cigar, sir." I remember that on a certain day, one of the rough and ready colonels of a regiment, whose name I have forgotten, rode up on the windy side of the general. As usual the first thing the general said, "colonel, have a cigar?" The colonel rose to his full height in his saddle and sternly looking at the general said: "General, you are my superior officer, but d--n your cigars," and rode away. The general and his staff officer looked upon this as quite a joke, and it was not long before this anecdote was related to and by every man in the ranks. THE GENERAL AND THE CAPTAIN. When General Rosecrans rode out to review the troops, there was usually something of a pleasant as well as instructive character going on. Upon his ap- pearance the welkin usually rang with the hearty cheers of the troops. When dressed in line the gen- eral occasionally passed along the front, scanning each man closely, noticing in an instant anything out of place in his dress. He always kept a sharp lookout Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 77) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/12049bb5f602aa053b968c3602b9a322.jpg 7566561c70f3ff7f1c8419d22e8329d5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At one review he gave a forcible illustration of his ideas on the subject. He noticed a private whose knapsack was very much awry, and drew him from the ranks, calling at the same time for his captain, who at once approached. "Captain, I am sorry to see you don't know how to strap a knapsack on a soldier's back." "But I didn't do it, general." "Oh, you didn't? Well, hereafter you had better do it yourself, or see that it is done correctly by the private. I have nothing more to say to him. I shall hold you responsible sir, for the appearance of your men." "But I can't make them attend to these matters," said the officer. "Then if you can't you had better leave the service." Upon another occasion, General Rosecrans noticed a private without a canteen, but otherwise quite neatly arrayed. "Ah, here's a good soldier; all right, first rate, with one little exception. Good cloth and good arms; he marches and he drills and fights and eats. But he don't drink. That's queer; and I fear he won't hold out a pinch. March all day in the heat and dust, yet don't want to drink water. Rather afraid of a break-down here. Better have the canteens, boys, and well-filled, too." And he passed on, leav- ing a lesson and a smile.

CONCLUSION. The great old hero is dead, - the last of Ohio's grand quartet, Grant and Sherman, Sheridan and Rosecrans. As soldier, statesman and citizen, in whatever light he be regarded, the nobility of his character stands out, worthy of all praise and honor. Faith and justice, love of God and country were his ideals and he lived up to them to the last. "Glory, not grief, our theme to-day! The record of his life to sing Who brought to clothe our common clay The royal mantle of a king." The deeds of the hero of Rich Hill, Carnifex Ferry, Iuka, Corinth, Stone River and Chickamauga will always brighten the pages of our country's history; and his life will ever stand forth in that same history as a bright, shining example of a loyal Catholic, whose eminence in the affairs of the nation did not lessen his faith, and whose faith did but increase and glorify his patriotism. Peace to his ashes, and gentle, eternal rest to his great soul!

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to Foreward of Life on the Ohio Frontier] FOREWARD My original family research began with Deacon John Phillips my grandfather, 8th generation, and his descendants. A copy of a Phillips family Bible record showed that John had a sister Mary who married a Lott. Subsequent research indicated that although John and Mary had the same father, they probably had different mothers. Therefore, I began to explore Mary's life in hopes of learning more about John through her. The letters included in this book have been compiled from copies of the originals found in the Lackawanna Historical Society, written by Mary Lott to her brother John Phillips in Pennsylvania, over a period of twenty years. It is not known how the letters, originally in the possession of Hildah Phillips Brown were acquired. She had researched the family of Deacon John Phillips, our common ancestor, over a period of thirty - five years from about 1935 up to her death on February 17, 1970. In order to more easily identify individuals and family members mentioned within the letters, Hildah made hand-written copies apparently to use as a note taking tool. She added the surnames of those that she identified, made many notes, and used the various clues mentioned within to further her research. After Hildah's death, her papers were given to the Lackawanna Historical Society in Scranton, Pennsylvania. While visiting Scranton for my research, I went through Hildah's voluminous collection and found the reprints. Although the whereabouts of the originals is unknown, the copies remain in the possession of the Lackawanna Historical Society. Some of the letters are difficult to read and the writing is often illegible. Some parts of them have blank spaces where Hildah apparently could not read Mary's handwriting. In some cases she has tried to decipher a word, following it with a question mark where she was uncertain of accuracy. The letters are often long and with no punctuation or paragraphs. Many are missing. In her letter of July 10, 1833, Mary refers to the fact that she has received 42 letters from John, so we can assume she wrote at least that number in response. In preparing the letters for publication, I have made some minor changes for ease of readability and understanding. I made paragraphs where there were none, shortened sentences, added punctuation. I was Title A name given to the resource Life on the Ohio Frontier (p. 16) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/01ef1a4345b065cfff5f9f6dc8239ad7.jpg 412a5195171c1c4114214a4bd5329e5b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I made no attempt to correct grammatical errors except where not to do so would lead to confusion. I have corrected spelling errors except in cases where the error added a certain charm. I have also added in brackets, "Ed. Note:" to explain historical references and other items of clarification. Where words are omitted or illegible, I have made additions for easy understanding. These words have been put in brackets. In instances where words are omitted or illegible, and the meaning is not clear enough for me to make additions, I have shown an ellipsis. (... ) The surnames added by Hildah are in brackets also to separate them from surnames mentioned by Mary Lott in her writings. I have confirmed, where possible, the accuracy of these additions. In some cases, I have added surnames found during my research. These are also in brackets. I did additional research in Delaware County, Ohio; Genesee County, New York; and Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania. This was done by mail and through the LDS Family History Center. I also visited the NSDAR Library and the National Archives in Washington, D. C. for further research. Most of the people mentioned in Mary's letters are my relatives. I am a grand-daughter, 8th generation, of John Phillips and am descended through Samuel Miller who married Susannah, daughter of John Phillips, and their son Stephen Miller who married Mary Chamberlain. Others Mary refers to are great -aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. In reading Mary's letters, I became very fond of her. I was struck by the strong religious faith she expressed. I was taken with her courage and inner strength in a time of hardship and adversity. I was saddened by her expressions of family longing and the ultimate fact of her facing the future alone. I came to the decision to publish this wonderful collection of letters because I hoped that individuals might learn about family connections mentioned in the letters. Although I have attempted to identify individuals and show family relationships, this is not meant to be an inclusive family geneology. A future book is planned which will provide more details. Rather, I hope that readers will use the facts contained within to further explore their links.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to Introduction] INTRODUCTION Brief History of Delaware County In 1803, Ohio was the first state organized from the Old Northwest Territory and it had only three counties. Delaware County, located in what was the subdivision of the U.S. Military District was created from Franklin county in 1808. At the time of Delaware's creation, Ohio was on the frontier; Indians were living within county borders, and other tribes were frequent visitors right up to 1830. The area was covered with forests. Settlers from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and New England coming into the territory established their homes in natural clearings and had to immediately set about clearing the timber. The first houses were one room log cabins and it was many years before substantial ones were built. Kingston Township was organized in 1813. The land was rolling, and the soil good for farming. There were no villages within the borders of Kingston then, nor are there any now. The township was sparsely populated and the main occupation was farming and is still. Game and fish were plentiful. There were wild grape vines and fruit trees. Honey and maple syrup was the major source of sugar, and salt was collected from salt wells. All other necessities were grown by the population. Franklinton, now Columbus, was the closest village where settlers could take their grain to mills to be ground into flour. Luxuries such as coffee and tea, were brought overland from the east and were very expensive. In 1842, the Methodist church established Wesleyan University, which attracted students from all over the state. The main road from Columbus to Sandusky ran through Kingston, so there were stage coaches on a regular schedule. By 1850, with the coming of the railroad, Delaware County became a flourishing area. One of the county's famous sons became a well known General during the Civil War. He was William Stark Rosecrans, born in Kingston in 1819 and related to the Rosecrans family mentioned in Mary Lott's letters.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to unnumbered page] Family History There is very little known about Mary Phillips Lott. No other records have been found which can help us understand more about her. Her parents also have remained in the shadows. It is necessary therefore to combine probability with clues and facts that have emerged. Mary Phillips Lott, born circa 1782, was the daughter of Francis Phillips born 29 July, 1720 in W. Greenwich, Rhode Island and a mother whose name has been lost to history. Her brother John Phillips, born in 1752 was the only known child of Francis, and his first wife, Demis Aylesworth born 22 January, 1725 in E. Greenwich, Rhode Island. It is probable that Demis, daughter of Arthur and Mary Franklin died by the date of her father's will dated 1761, since her son John Phillips name was included, hers was not. No record of her death has been found. It is possible that Francis, who died probably in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania had been married two or possibly three times due to the apparent age differences of his children. Francis was 32 years old when John was born and would have been 62 years old at Mary's birth and 66 years old at his son Cornwell's birth. Although today it would be considered unusual, there are many past recorded instances of children being born to fathers of this age. Mary refers to such an instance in her letters. There has been no death or probate record found for Francis. Nor does the family Bible show his date of death. Several deeds from Luzerne County refer to land previously owned by Francis Phillips as "now deceased." Since the deeds were written in 1788, his probable death date has been established as having occurred by then. During that period children could be raised by their widowed mothers unless property ownership was involved. Since women could make no legal decisions nor own property, the law required a guardian to be appointed when the child reached a certain age. There is a Luzerne County court record of 1796 showing that Gilbert Carpenter was selected as a guardian for Mary Phillips who was "a minor over the age of fourteen." Although no further record has been found of any sale or transfer of property for any children of Francis Phillips, Mary makes reference in her letters to being separated from her brother John and Title A name given to the resource Life on the Ohio Frontier (p. 22) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/77de7120ddd6a393a134b30f98400dc1.jpg 41865a45ba24bb24c7a75918cd42592d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 23] [corresponds to page xix of Life On The Ohio Frontier] other family members as a child. She also refers to her hope that settlement will be reached for the heirs of the 'sufferers." [Ed. note: This was a term used to describe people that were owners of property under the Connecticut Land Company with whom Pennsylvania was disputing such ownership. The Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania was then Westmoreland County, State of Connecticut, and Francis Phillips was a land owner under the Connecticut Company.] Although deeds exist showing the sale of land formerly owned by Francis Phillips, none are in the name of Gilbert Carpenter. It is possible that the property she refers to in her letters remained in dispute and eventually went to the state of Pennsylvania. The Phillips Family The family Bible, now in the possession of the Lackawanna Historical Society, shows according to the cover page, that it was purchased by John Phillips in 1803. His birth date is recorded as 24 December, 1751, old calendar; the new calendar date is 4 January, 1752. There are pages missing, but there is a handwritten notarized copy of the missing bible pages dated 1957 which shows that Francis also had other children: Francis, Zacheous, Thomas, Mary, Cornwell. There are no birth dates shown, but probable dates have been established by census records. Mary's age has also been established by a reference to it in one of her letters, as well as census records. In 1800, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Mary's brother Cornwell Phillips, "a minor above the age of fourteen," was also appointed a guardian, John Marcy. This would make Cornwell's birthdate circa 1786. As was the custom, children were often sent to live with other family members, or bound to others. It is unknown where Mary was raised, but as was also the custom of the time, her mother probably remarried and may have moved out of the area with Mary. Perhaps Mary was sent elsewhere and Cornwell stayed in the county to live with his guardian. Cornwell was living in the county in 1817 until he sold his land in 1828. He eventually took his wife and children to LeRoy, Genesee County, New York to work on the farm of Anson Williams, an apparent relative who later removed to Ohio. More is known about John who was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. In his Pension file, #S7308, a deposition was given for the purpose of obtaining the pension and he was apparently asked how he knew the date of his birth. He said that "my sister told me." It is unknown if the sister he referred to was Mary, but since she was his only apparent sister, it can be assumed she was the one to whom he referred.

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page xx of Life On the Ohio Frontier] Since the government required proof of facts for pension requests, and since it was the custom to record important dates in family Bibles, it can also be assumed that Mary must have provided as proof the information from the family Bible of Francis Phillips. Two Bibles were listed in the Lott inventory after the death of Mary's husband Henry, suggesting perhaps that one was the Phillips family Bible. It is not known where Francis Phillips was living during his early manhood. John's pension record shows that he was born in (Carmel), Beekman, Dutchess County, New York. There is no record of his father Francis residing there. It is possible that he was living in Dutchess County, New York as a tenant farmer, since owning land in that state was made practically impossible by the wealthy landowners. It is also possible that Francis was off fighting Indians, because there is a record of a Francis Phillips at the battle of Kittaning, Pennsylvania in 1751. Then again, he may have been living with some of the Aylesworth family members in Dutchess County, New York until he left in 1771 to become part of the Connecticut Land Company. According to Connecticut Land Company records, Francis was in Pennsylvania as early as 1771. Later in 1781 he sold land to his son John. John had married Mary Chamberlain 20 January, 1771. His first three daughters were born in Pownal, Bennington County, Vermont where he joined the militia in 1776. His fourth daughter was born in Pennsylvania in the fort that John was defending. His two sons were also born in Pennsylvania where John spent the rest of his life. John became Justice of the Peace in Pittston, Pennsylvania in 1791 and was also on the roads committee, and the committee to purchase land for the county courthouse. He was one of the original land owners in Pittston and was considered a wealthy landowner, owning thousands of acres. Over the years he made many gifts of land to his children and grandchildren. He became a deacon of the First Baptist Church in Abington. He married twice after the death of his first wife Mary and lived to the age of 94. The Lott Family Hendrick Lott, son of Zephaniah Lott and Else Van Pelt was born in 1773 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania where his christening was recorded as 24 April, 1774 at the Reformed Netherlands Dutch Church, Southampton. Zephaniah Lott joined the Bucks County militia and fought in the Revolutionary War.

There is no record of the date or place of Mary Phillips marriage to Henry Lott. There is a Henry Lott on the 1800 and 1810 Luzerne County Pennsylvania census, but it is not known if that is Henry or his father's brother Henry. It is revealed in Mary's letters that they were living in Stafford, Genesee County, New York prior to their move to Ohio. There is no other record of their time in New York State. Nothing is known of Mary's brother Thomas. In her first letter, it is clear that Thomas travelled with Mary and Henry to Ohio, but the fact of where he lived prior to the voyage is unknown. In Mary's will, he is referred to as Thomas Simmons. If that is his middle name, or if he is the child of a different marriage remains a mystery. According to the 1840 Delaware County, Ohio census, he was older than Mary, so perhaps he was a stepbrother. Henry's grave in the Porter Cemetery in Delaware County, Ohio is marked, but the location of Mary's grave and the grave of her brother Thomas is unknown. The Williams Family Anson Williams was born 16 October, 1781, the son of Edward Williams, born in Wales, and Jemimah Wright, who were married in 1767. Anson was the eighth of fourteen children. He married Mary More who died in childbirth 15 April, 1811, probably in New York state. There were three children of this marriage; Calley (or Sally), Jemimah, and Jerrad Sanford. Anson married second circa 1811, Hannah Phillips, born 1792 in New York and who, according to one source, had resided in Pennsylvania. Although there has been no record found, it appears that Hannah was related to Mary and John Phillips. In her letters, Mary refers to Hannah as her relative, and Anson is referred to as brother Anson. Cornwell Phillips and his family also moved from Pennsylvania to live and work on Anson's farm. In the copy of the Williams family bible, it states that Anson was a tavern owner in Cherry Valley, New York.

He was in LeRoy, Genesee County, New York in 1815 when he and his wife Hannah purchased land. He was owner of several properties in LeRoy where he resided until 1836 when he removed to Delaware County, Ohio. His brother John had preceded him to Delaware County several years earlier. He and Hanna had seven children and when they went to Ohio, they took all their married and unmarried children with them. He had purchased one thousand acres of land and planned a town called Williamsville. He was considered a wealthy man and at his death left a great deal of property to his family. He died 28 March, 1847 and is buried in the Williamsville Cemetery in what is now Orange Township. Hannah went to live with her daughter Rebecca and died in 1851. She is also buried in Williamsville Cemetery. Their son John More Williams lived on the family property until 1859 when he and his family moved to Liberty Township where they lived until his death in 1899. Epilogue In her will Mary Lott left fourteen acres of land to her friend Robert Wells and ten acres to Isaac Dayton Tanner or Tayner, the bound boy she had raised as her own. On 20 November, 1848, Robert sold the land to James Stark, the executor of Mary's will. Isaac apparently kept the land until 9 December, 1850 when he also sold it to James Stark. He was then living in Sandusky County, Ohio.

We came from Buffalo [New York] to Portland [Ohio] on the steam boat; had good luck, was two days and two nights on water, but we had a very tedious journey from there in consequence of rain and new roads. We found it about 100 miles. [Ed. note: Portland is now Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio] Henry's [Lott] and Thomas' [Phillips] eyes was very bad all the way and have been ever since. Henry's are some better, but with sorrow I must tell you that poor Thomas has untimely lost one of his and can see very little with the other. We have reason to fear he will lose that. His health is very poor. He is not able to do scarce a chore. Father and mother [Lott] have been much out of health two weeks; father with rheumatism in his knees and mother with sore eyes. They send their love to you. My health has been better since I have been here than it had been for two years. What would be done if it was not, I can't say, for the old people live in a room alone.

No other records have been found which can explain this. Simmons may be a middle name or he may be a half-brother or step-brother from another marriage.

We have bought fifty acres of entirely new land joining Leonard's.[Lott] Got two log rooms raised, the bigness of our old rooms in Stafford; [Genesee County, New York] got a well dug and mostly stoned; two or three acres chopped, but when we shall get in our house we can't say. For Henry is not very able to work in consequence of his eyes and our money most run out and fifty-nine dollars of our money we hold for we have not ... and don't know when we shall, but, however, I am not concerned but there will be some way provided the few days I have to stay. There is good provision plenty. I am none disappointed in the country. You know, I never expected to like it as well as New York State. The inhabitants appear very friendly and meetings handy of almost all kinds, though no particular revivals of religion at present.

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to page 26 of Life On the Ohio Frontier] Poor old uncle Rosencrans [Daniel, married to Thankful Wilcox] is yet living. [Ed. note: This name is also spelled Rosencranse, Rosencranze., Rosencranze, and Rosecrans.] He come to see me the next day after I arrived and met me with all the affection of a parent. He lives two miles from here. He often visits me which is a great consolation to me, for he always feels bound for the Kingdom, and says he is ready and willing whenever Jesus calls. His wife and daughters are all gone; he has but three sons living. They also received me as the tenderest of brothers. You must write a word to the poor old man when you write to me, which I hope will be soon. My anxiety to hear from all of you I can't express. I have not heard a word since last March. I have not heard from Elizabeth or Hannah [Phillips Williams] though I have wrote twice. [Ed. note: Elizabeth may be the mother of Deborah Doud Phillips, Cornwell Phillips wife.] I received a letter from Harriet [Trumbull] and Robert [Wells] last Friday. Harriet's husband and Robert had been sick with the fever the greater part of the summer, but was recovering. Our love to brother Cornwell and his family. Tell him I should [have] wrote, but I don't know how to direct, but he must write to me. My love to Mary; [Phillips Hewitt] tell her I seen Lavina [Hewitt Russell] when I moved. They was all well. I have wrote to them and expect an answer. My love to each child and grandchild. Accept the same yourselves. The man is waiting, so must close. [Ed note: Lavina is the daughter of Mary Phillips Hewitt and Isaac Hewitt. and grand-daughter of John Phillips.] Your affectionate sister, Adieu.
