A FOREWORD
The preparation of the manuscripts for this volume so
nearly matched tlie work of the author and his aims and
objects so nearly expressed our ideas and aspirations that we
can do no better than embody tlicm in tlie Preface to this
volume. These ideas, plans, hopes and expressions are so
clearly and definitely stated by his PREFACE, that we pre-
sent the same in facsimile.
We have, throughout the volume, used copious portions
of the Annals wliieli are properly indicated.
It is also our delight to heartily acknowledge the help of
all friends who have faithfully assisted in any way. Among
those specially mentioned are W. T. Harbaugh and ^Irs.
Cissena Boor, who have been the chief promoters; Miss Effie
Ifarbaugh, who has })ut the manuscripts in typewritten form
and assisted in correcting and arranging it for the press;
also Hon. Linn Harbaugh, author of "The Life and Ilistori/
of Henry Harbaugh, D.D." for valuable ideas gathered from
that volume.

PREFACE
'Vhii annals of a family are interesting and sacred to its
moinhers alone, and a stranj^er doth not intermeddle there-
with. To cherish the memory of our ancestors is a plain
dictate of piety. <>nly those who care not for their destiny,
can he careless as to their origin. He that forgets his ances-
tors is either si lipid or wicked, or both.
These Annals have been gathered gradually during some
years, in \H^)'i the Authoi' began to record them in a syste-
matic historical order, under the title of '"Jiistorical Keniiuis-
cences of my Ancestors, Preserved for my Children;" and as
such, they became privately known to some members of the
family, who earnestly desired their publication, so that they
might he accessible to the numerous descendants. Additional
care was then hestowcMJ on the subject — and this little book
is the result.
The reason why the notices of some branches of the
family are more full and complete than others, is at once
apparent. The necessary details could only be obtained by
the assistance of members of the dilTerent branches; and in
some cases such (•o-()[)i'i'at ion ((luld not be secured. Much
lime has het'U sjjent, and many Idlers have been written, in
the elfort to make the record full. All that it was possible
thus to colled is liei'c faithfully [U'cserved. Though minute
details may here and there he wanting — some small twigs
and buds may be missed — yet the historical tree, in its trunk
and hraiu'hes, is here descrihi'd unhrokeu and complete, dur-
ing a growth of one hundred ami twenty years.
It will be easy, by the aid of these annals, for the most
remote descendant to locate himself and trace his relation-
ship to the parei\t stock; and thus all that is essential is

secured. In regard to the whole, the Author can only say:
"Would it were worthier." As it is, he affectionately dedi-
cates it to one and all, old and young, far and near, known
and unknown, who helong to this wide-spread family.
Annals like these, made up of births and deaths, genera-
tions that come and go, remind one sensibly of the vanity of
earth, and point earnestly to that which abides in heaven.
There may we all meet, when our short pilgrimage on earth is
ended — "no wanderer lost I" "As for man, his days are as
grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the
wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the places thereof
know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from ever-
lasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his
righteousness unto children's children; to such as keep his
covenant and to those that remember his commandments to
do them."

DEDICTORY
To the Posterity of thosp early forefathers, who
60 n(jt>ly and lieroically faced the privations of
pioneer life that they might help to build an em-
pire in which tlieir descendants might enjoy the
blessings of freedom of conscience, the pursuit of
happiness and the pleasures of our Christian
civilization, this volume is respectfully dedicated.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
In thiij volume we have chosen to make use of a few
abbreviated term3 for the sake of simplyfing and classifying
the text: Tims, we will use b. lor born, m. for nuirried, d.
for dead or dird, * for died in infancy or youth, also the
other commonly acci'i»(cd abbreviations, ^uch as ai-e used for
states, etc.
In the sxeiic:do<^M(iil table we have used the letters of the
alpbabet to represent the various generations and nundjer the
children in each family by the figures (numerals). Thus, A
will represent the original sire, Yost Ilarbaugh, and his
(hildren will be noted by the letter ii. Thus B-1, B-2, B-3,.
15-4, B-5, B-G, etc., are his children: George, Ludwig, Jacob,
John, Yost, respectively. The third generation will be noted
by tlie third letter of the al].habet, ('. A glance at the table
will reveal the plan of construction. Tliis plan is followed
all the way through to end of the table, lu the branch of
Ludwig Harbaugh — B-2 — the plan reaches the eighth gener-
ation— H.
Wo hope that every mendier of the family, however re-
mote from the parent stock, will make use of the family
lecord found herewith and that will, if properly filled in,
preserve a record of the past, present and future, and be a
valuable record for tlie familv.

Harbaugh Annals.
About the year 1736, Yost Harbaugh and his family of
four sons, possibly, emmigrated to this country. This family
lived in one of the southwestern cantons or provinces of
Germany and owing to religious persecutions, had sought
freedom in Switzerland and from there they came to Amer-
ica. At that time America was the great boon to the perse-
cuted of western Europe and many of them found their way
thither. His first settlement was in Maxatawany Township,
then Philadelphia, Pa., finally in 1760-61 moving west of the
Susquehanna and into Frederick County, Maryland, on a
tributary to the Potomac River. The valley through which
this little stream flowed took the name of the first settlers
and is still known as "llarbaugh's Valley". Some yeara
after coming to America his wife died. Later he married
again. His children by his first wife were: George, Ludwig,
Jacob, John, Henry, and Yost. By his second wife : Leonard,
Mary-Elizabeth, Ann-Margaret, Ann- Catherine.
Tn taking up the work of continuing the history of the
Harbaugh family, or rather that branch of the family — the
second son — known as Ludwig Harbaugh, and tracing the
descendants to the present time, no more worthy cause can
be thought of for the present generation than to keep fresh
in our mind the attainments, ideals and worthy deeds of their
parents and other ancestors. We shall take some tilings as
they are in the Annals, so as to give at least a concise epitome
of the early history of our forefathers, that we may the better
understand what it meant to live in those early pioneer timef.
U Harbauc.1I Annals
Egv. Henry Harbaiigh in the Annals has this to say of
tho early life of these people:
'"The habits of these early German settlers were truly
primitive, simple, sturdy and severe. The early inhabitants
of the Kreutz Creek region were clothed, for some years,
altogether in tow cloth, as wool was an article not to be
obtained. Their dress was simple, consisting of a shirt,
trousers, and a frock. During the heat of summer, a shirt
and trousers of tow formed the only raiment of the inhabi-
tants. In the fall the tow frock superseded. When the cold
of winter was before the door, and Boreas came rushing from
the North, the dress was adapted to the season, by increasing
the number of frocks, so that in the coldest part of the winter
some of these sturdy settlers were wrapped in four, five and
even more frocks, which were bound closely about the loins,
usually with a string of the same material as the garment.
"But man ever progresses; and when sheep were intro-
duced, a mixture of tow and wool was considered an article
of luxury. But tow was sliortly afterward succeeded by
cotton, and the linsey-woolsey was a piece of the wildest
extravagance. If these simple, plain and honest worthies
could look down upon their descendants of the present day,
they would wonder at the changes of men and things. These
lionest progenators of ours have passed away and have left
many of us, we fear, nothing but th(> names they bore, to
mark us as their descendants.
"But all good did not die with tliem. If they would
find cause for regret at our departure from their simplicity
and frugality, they would find much to admire in the im-
proved aspect of the country — tlie rapid nian-h of improve-
ment in the soil of their adoption. Where they left unoccu-
pied land, they would find valuable plantations, and thriving
villages, and temples dedicated to the worship of the God of
Christians.
IIarijauciii An'xals 15
"These early settlers were, of course, subjected to many
inconveniences. There was neither shoemaker nor tanner in
the whole of York County. Shoes were annually brought
from Philadelphia to supply the settlers, and the mending
was done by itinerant cobblers, carrying their little leather
used in mending, with their tools from one house to another.
And blacksmiths were also itinerants. The same inconveni-
ences also, of course, attended the introduction of schools.
The first schoolmaster was known by no other name than thai
of 'Der Dicke Schulnu'ister' — the thick schoolmaster. The
privileges of the church they could only enjoy by going to
Fijincaster, where a reformed church was built as early as
1736 and a Lutheran cliurch in 1738, and where there was
preacliing at intervnls even some years earlier
l\rinisters from the otiier side of the Kiver Susquehanna came
()\er once or twice a year nml baptized tlie children."
Yost ITarbaugli, A-1, tlie progenator of the American
stock, had lieen lirouglit u]) in tlie faith of the German 1-ve-
rdi'med Cluircli in Switzerland, nor did lie fail to follow up
liis religious duties in raising his chiUlren, according to his
faitli, in this country. Among the first enterprises we find
him encouraging the building of a church near his home.
The Annals speaks of his thus:
"Tradition says he was a man of stout jihysical frame,
energetic spirit, and great courage; just sueh a nuin as woubl
enter upon new set tlenients ;i!id i)rave the dangei's and endure
the hardships of a border li I'e."
Singular it is that we tliid this father of the race nuni-
b(-red in an unmarked gi-a\e wiih not I'ven a slal) to dis-
tinguish the last resting |ilare of one wh(un we should ri'ver-
eiiee as a benefactor.

LuDwiQ Harbaugh, B-2.
is the second son of the progenator of the family, B-2 of A-1.
As this is the branch of the family that most concerns us,
we will now give our attention to that. From the Annals
we gather that Ludwig was born in Switzerland about 1828
or 29. He seems to have lived at various places in Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland, but finally located in Harbaugh's
Valley, southwest of Sabillasville, on a farm once owned by
a man named Zollinger. He died August 9, 1809, at the
ripe age of eighty-two years and is buried in the graveyard
on his own farm. His wife, Christina, died Oct. 17j 1797,
aged seventy years, and lies by his side. Ludwig was the
father of ten children: Christian, Jacob, Henry, Peter,
lost, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Christina and Margaret. And
lor our purpose, we shall follow the descendants of Yost, the
fifth son of the family, C-5 of B-2.
In regard to him, the Annals says, "Yost Harbaugh lived
in the valley near where my Uncle Elias resided. He fell
in with the sect of the United Brethren in Christ and that
had services which he attended, in a school house near his
home, which I remember to have heard of frequently when I
was yet a boy. He died about the year 1836 or 1837, age
about sixty years."
Rev. Henry Harbaugh had a great task in giving us such
a complete record covering nearly a century and a quarter of
ITarbaugii Annals
17
time Mild ^'■nllirriii'^f diila of so many and scattered families.
j\Iany of tlicse early pioneer families kept no family record
and it was dilTieult to get correct data for many of even the
(hen present generations.
There are many things about the past that are forever
hiii'ie(l l)y the oldivion of the past that we would like to
know, hut never will. The past is goiu,' with it its triumphs,
griefs and joys, its failure; the ever living present is here,
is before us to use, to magnify, to glorify. Live it, face to
the front, ^lake the world better as the past has striven
to do.

Aiiicrica, about tlic year 17."?(!. He was married to "Mary

\alleys of I'eiinsyl\aiiia, sonirtliing like eighty miles over
tlie inoiinlains Troiii his lioiiie in Miwyland.
Thus it will he seen that Mr. ilarbaugli began his early
life (luring the early days of the new government. Those
wore stirring times, froiight with all tlie vicissitudes and
toil of that early pionecM- tinu'. He was apprenticed to a
ear|)enter and learned tliat trade in liis early manhood. Like
many, many others of his day and since, lie yearned to seek
a home in the new and uiidevelo|H'(l west, wliich was then
the Xoiihwi'sl 'i'ei'i'itoiy and out of which the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin have been formed.
Accordingly, al'tei' his marriage, they settled in Muskingum
County, Ohio. This place not heiiig agreeable, they moved
to Sandy\ille in Tusciirawas County, Ohio. Thev lived here
iiiilil IS IS, when ihey moved (Ui a (|uarter sci-tion of land in
rieasiini Towiislii|i, I'uliiam ('oiiiitv, Ohio. Mr. Ilari)augh,
having heeii trained |<i he a cai-|ieiitci-, tollowed his trade
during llie years al S;iiidy\ille. The moving from Tusea-
i-;was Couuly to i'lilmiiii County was a great undertaking
in ihal early day and was not made wilh.ont iniicb sacriliee
and liazzard. Koails were i\'w. the emigrants had to follow
many huliaii trails, ford streams and swamps and encounter
many almost insurmountable obstacles in the way. The trip
\\as made in the fall of IS-IS and numbered father, mother
20 Thomas Harbaugh
and ten children, in a wagon drawn bv a team of oxen and
a light wagon drawn by one horse. These two vehicles
brought this family and its every article of furniture, bedding
and utensils to the new home in the wilderness. In this
new land they began again the process of carving out in the
virgin forest a new home. Dense as the forest was, beset as
they were with fevers and agues, as all new and swamp coun-
try is, perseverance, toil and determination to win, conquered
the forest and soon we see a home. It takes years to accom-
plish definite ends, but it makes men of the highest intelli-
gence and worth to the nation.
In his character, Mr. Harbaugh, was a very_(|uiet, unas-
suming citizen, approving and helping every cause for the
up-building of the community. jSTor was he alone, for Mrs.
Harbaugh was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence.
The man or Moman who would cross swords with her in an
argument, must be sure to be able to give a suiTicient reason
for the faith he or she proclaimed, or they would find their
cause being cast out of court.
In religious matters, both i\lr. and Mi-s. Harl)nugli were

In the years following sett K'lneiil in Putnam County, the
years came and went much in tlu' same wav thev come and

tional life and toils of the home. (Ji'eat ami sei'ious (|uestions

Thomas Harbaugh 21
Civil war in 1861-5. Two sons, Valentine and Thomas J.,
went out from this home at the first call to arms for the
great conflict and remained until the war was over.
Tills home was blest with twelve children; two died in
infancy, one in her lifteentli year, and the other nine lived
to raise families. Six are still living at this date (1915),
a record for longevity that few families can equal.
On Feb. ?th, 18G7, Mrs. liarbaugh died and was buried
in 'I'ruro Cemetery. After the death of Mrs. liarbaugh, he
(lid not try tt) folhnv up the busy and strenuous activities of
(be farm life, but rented the farm and lived with the chil-
dren, until in the winter of 1883-1. This winter he went
to Fremont, Indiana, to visit his daughter, Mrs. Mary
Koberts, but during this winter his digestive organs seemed
to have given out and failed to perform their duties. Medi-
cal science failed to bring him any help and on April 8th,
1884, his spirit passed on to the home he so well merited.
His remains were brought back to Columbus Grove, Ohio,
and interment was made in Truro Cemetery. Very many
good things might be said to tlie credit of his frugality, hon-
esty, stability, perseverence, thoroughness, loveableness, un-
.sellishness and orderliness, lie was a strict disciplinarian in
liis lionie. He loved order and had a strict regard for system,
lie had a place for everything ami wanted everything kept
in its phire. He had numy trite sayings or axioms of which
these aie a IVw : "A boy's a boy, two boys a half a boy,
and three boys, no boy at all"; "Haste makes waste";
"Nothing pays so well as the weather"; "A place for every-
thing and evervlhing in its phue" ; "Take care of the pennies
and the dollars will take care of themselves"; "It has always
(piit raining until this lime and it will this time, too";
"Don't get the cart before the horse"; "Little ones should
be seen and not heard"; "A still tongue makes a wise head",
etc.
22 Thomas IIaub.vugh
Ap has been paid in anotlier part of tliis sketch, Mrs.
llarl)angh was a woman of incn-e than ordinan* intelligence,
in tracing her ancestrv hack wc find too that her ancestors
were also Swiss-(Jennan and probably emigrated to this conn-
try in the same generation that the llarbanghs came, though
we have no definite account of the two families having any
acipiaintance before coming to America. The progenator ot
the family was Christopher Exline or Axline, as it has been
variously used and spelled ever since. He settled in the
Shenandoah Valley, near Winchester, Va. ('hristoi)her
Kxline had two sons: Adam and John. Adam Exline livi'd
at Bedford, Friendly County, I'a., and had four sons: John,
Henry, Bernard, and Solomon.
Henry, the second son of Adam Exline, had four sons:
Adam, John, Dan, David.
Bernard, the third son of Adam, had iiinc children:
Adam and Eve, Solomon, Philip, Henry, David and Mary,
Valentine and Joshua.
Thus we find the subject of our sketch, "Afary Exline, was
the seventh child in fourth generation from the progenator
of this most worthy and excellent family. We have not tried
to make this genealogical table complete and perfect, as it is
made up largely from personal memory, nor l)ring it up to
(hite. We will also say that there are many worthy and
noted Exlines and Axlines in this country now who trace
their lineage back to Christopher Exline. We wish we could
trace the life incidents of these two families from their
(oming to America to the present time, the history of which
would interest many people*-
Thus it will be seen that i\rary p]xline came from a most
hardy, energetic and persevering people. After her mar-
riage, she took a very active part in all the affairs of the
home, her neighborhood and community. Having been

l.iilhciaii Chinch, which at tliat time denied the "weaker
s('.\" the |)i'ivih'^(' of piihlic participation in worship in the
chiii-ch. She round her thoughts of justice, worship and
many other things taiving a dilFerent channel from some of
the tilings of that day. Her new location in a new countr}'
and among ditreront class of peojile, and still further removal
From the inllncncc of the parental (;hurch, and into a com-
nmiiily not Imrdciicd wiih ('cclesiastical forms and ceremonies,
and among a people who neeiled a pure and simple gospel,
ma}' have hroadene(l her understanding and given her free-
dom of ex])ression. IVfrs. Ilarhaugh, as we shall now speak
of her, hecanie the spiritual leader in her community. For
many years she was the main stay of the Sunday School and
other interests of the church. She helieved in every one who
pi'ol'essed to he a follower of Christ to live up to that profes-
sion daily and it mattered not even if it was the very minister
himself, whom she learned was not doing right, she had no
compunctions of conscience ahout taking him to task ahont
his perfidy. Thus years ago, at the time of, or soon after
the suppost'd c\'))osnre, hy INForgan of Free Masonry, she
leai-ned thai hei- pastor was a Mason and the United Bretliren
( hureh then did not accept memhers who were memhers of
lodges or allow llieii- ministei's to hold mendx'rship in a lodge
either. This |)artieular pastor- was in the habit of getting
his demit, oi' withdi-awal card from the lodge just before the
Annual Coiifei-ence and then after (\wferenee was over, he
would tuiii in his card again. In that way he could answer
all tlu> (piestions asked by the Bishop satisfactorily. Mrs.
Ilarhaugh got to h(>nr of these facts and the rain of invective.
sarcasm, and ii'ony that was raini'd upi>n Brother
was like an avalanche from an unsuspecting cloud. So awful
did his acts ap|H'al to her that she told him on one occasion
2i Thomas Harbaugh
if she were a inenibor of the Quarterly Conference and had a
thousand votes she would cast thorn all to dismiss him from
the church. Her defense of the church as it then believed
and the hideousness of his practice, as slie pictured it, was
the interesting topic for many seasons.
Another thing in which Mrs. Harbaugh took an interest-
ing part was the discussion of the slavery question. Having
been born and raised in the East and having been influenced
liy the speeches and writings of the great abolition leaders
of that day, she imbibed all the great principles they taught.
At the time of the organization of the Republican party, it
became evident that it would be the party that would cham-
pion the cause of the "black man", she used to say to the
Kepublicans, "Your party has stolen our principles". These
were stirring times; most every individual had an opinion for
or against and when it came to an issue, it was not hard to
find where each one stood. Mrs. Harbaugh was always fore-
most in the struggle for the maintenance of the Union.
Another feature or characteristic of Mrs. Harbaugh was
her desire to alleviate suffering and to help the needy. It is
said of her that she would deny herself even the necessaries
of life, if there were a sick person in the neighborhood that
she could share the delicacies or even tiie humblest of eat-
ables. The simplest things of some tables would be counted
even delicacies on other's tables. Her generosity in this
regard was not altogether a generosity witli licr, it was con-
sidered a part of her religious duty. This practice was al-
ways carried out by herself, and having several girls in her
family, they also were taught, in like manner, to be useful
to the community and to themselves.

She was a woman who stood by lu>r convictions ami her
s( use of right. She believed that the Constitution of (Hir
(Jovernmeid was foiimled on the Hihie and llu' hi'si wav to
jH'rpetuate that Constitution was to teach the Kible to the
rising generation. So, she with others, organized a Sabbath
School in the old log school house, known as the old Plum
2Cy TjIOMAS ILviiBAUGH
Creek School House, one among the first United Brethren
Sahl)ath Schools in Pleasant Township, and was its Super-
intendent for a long time. In those days (sixty years ago)
we liad no lesson-leaves, no ([uai'terlies nor lesson-helps, but
1 ri'iiu'inber vi'ry distinctly how \\v used to commit verses to
iiK'inory and how those verses have clung to my memory,
siu'h as "In the beginning the word was with God and the
word was CJod," also those soul-cliccring and spirit-reviving
songs, such as,
"I think when 1 read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was lici'c among men,
Wlicn lie called little cliildn'n as Land)s to His Fold,
1 should like lo liave been with lliin then."
It seems strange, and yet how true, that our earliest im-
pressions are the most lasting. One of the great character-
istics of my mother was her liberality. She would not only
divide the last bit of eatables she had, but would carry pro-
visions to the poor and sick. She was very industrious. She
had a loom and wove linsey-woolsey jeans and linen. One
tail she wo\e some fancy woolen blankets and knit some
woolen niittt'ns and took tlieni to the State Fair, wlien it was
held at Dayton, Oliio. She would weave sonii' nights until
nine and ten o'chx'k and would liave me hold tlie candle for
lier to sei'. W'v had no lamps in those days, nothing but the
molded tallow candle and tlie old grease lamj). I remember
one night, while holding tlie candle. I fell asleep and let the
candle di-op on the cloth, but Motlier was very patient
with me.

CHAPTER IV.
Valentine Harbaiigli.
Valentine Harbaugh E-4
was about sixteen years old when the family moved to Put-
nam County, Ohio, and was a great help to them at those
trying times. He was of short, rugged stature, like his
f{;ther, and having an abundance of energy and plenty of
opportunity to put it to use and being fearless and bold,
almost to wrecklessness, he was found foremost in almost
every fray and when the Civil war began, we find him among
the first volunteers. After joining the army, he was soon
given a position in the secret service department, one of the
most difficult and dangerous places in the army. I shall not
attempt to describe his war record, suffice to say that his
characteristics as noted above made him a soldier of like
character. He was at home once on a furlough. He had
been sent north to bring back a few deserters and in the
fight that followed, they clubbed him and left him dying, as
they thought, and it was while recuperating from this attack
that he was home on furlough. He was in the service until
after the war was over. Ecturning from the army, he again
nssunied liis old occupation of farming. He married a
daughter, Sarah Ann, of John Bogart, a prominent and well-
to-do citizen of Columbus Grove, Ohio, and settled on a farm
a half mile south of his father's farm in Pleasant Township.
The farm is now owned by Mr. George Halker, who pur-
chased it of him about 1871, at which time Mr. Harbaugh
moved to Kansas.
On going to Kansas he took his houshold goods, lumber
and material to build a house, a team and some other stock.
At that time central Kansas was a wild prairie region, over-
run by bands of Indians and herds of Buffalo. Tt was a
commxDn occurrence for them to shoot a buffalo from the
door-step. The years went well until the time of the scourge

of the grasshopper seasons and dronfrht vvTiioh followed them.
Then, as all know, were the years in whieh Kansas earned
its non-de-plunie. Bleeding Kansas. But the seasons of
grasshopper, ehinch bugs and drought have had their influ-
enee to make the state one of the most progressive in the
Union.
In November, 1905, Mrs. Ilarbaugh died and since then
l\Ir. IFarbaugh has made his home among his children. Five
cliihlren were born to this union and all lived to raise fam-
ilies of their own.

porarily with Iheiii in thcii' Ciiicago home. The note is here
included:
"My Dear i-'riends:

Mrs. Heese's ex|H'riences ha\e been many and varied.
She distinctly remcndiers moving with hor stepfather and
mother from C reen Tiake, Minn., overland to Russell County,
Kansas, in 187."). Her description of the trip, giving au
4G Elizabeth Harbaugh
idea of frontier trav<'l during tliat period is herewith given:
•In Hussell County, Kansas, Mr. Cable took up a soldier's
claim and two months after their arrival there, he died of
ineipient bowel trouble, tlius leaving the widow and the little
girl to prove up the claim, requiring five years according to
the federal laws at that time. Their papers, covering rights,
etc., to the land, were signed by President Chester A. Arthur.
"Travel overland, during that period, was mainly by the
prairie schooner or covered wagons. They would drive all
week across prairies, over hills, through valleys and ford
streams and usually stopped Saturday noon to bake and wash
tlie soiled linen and resting until ]\Ionday. Vinnie is said
to have walked most of the distance between ^linnesota and
Kansas, being content to play along side the moving wagon,
gathering wild flowers and otherwise amusing herself. Her
stepfather, wishing to add to her pleasure, made a swing for
her suspended from the rear axle of the high-wheeled wagon
and when tired of walking or playing, she w'ould climb into
this and ride. On one occasion they started fording a stream
without informing her. Iler discomfort was apparent when
her feet began dragging in the water,
"On the occasion of her trip through St. Paul, on her
way to Green Lake, Minn., she saw a lamb on the street and
tliouglit it nnist be like her pets on her grandfather's farm
in Ohio. However, she learned differently when he recipro-
cated her kindness by promjitly l)utting lier into the street.
"JTer life and that of her mother was one of luirdship and
stirring experience, — a new country, sparsely settled with no
facilities, the prairies infested by packs of wolves, flocks of
Ei,iz\i!i:i II IlAKUAicir 47
prairie chicken ;iiul occasional bands of roving Indians.
"They were fortunate in discovering a spring c>T water a
few months after Mr. Cable's deatli. 'J'bis being tlie only
source of fresh water in that vicinity, fi'ontiersnien and tbeir
families would come for miles aroiinil to haul water for them-
selves and their stock.
"In 1882, Vinnie and her niotlier returned to Lima,
Ohio, to live tein[)()rarily with Mrs. Julia (Harbaugh) Bell.
From that time until iier marriage. \'innie dwelt for the
most part, among ri'latives, attending seven did'erent schools
in the interim.
"Two years aftei- marriage, ^Irs. Beese and ber busbaml
began traveling ami continued for eiglit years, stopping at
many of the ])rinciple cities of the United States and visiting
nuiiiy points of historic aiul scenic interest.

F-1 Chas. A. Smith was born at Weston,
Ohio, in what was then the famous "Black
Swamp", which was in the early pioneer
times of JSTorthwestern Oliio. It took its
name from the blackness of the soil and the
swampy and mireyness of the region, and
where, as he says, "there were lots of black-
snakes and fevers, chills and ague, mos-
quitoes and tadpoles". Fifty years ago
that country was a horror to even dream
about. But after drainage and the clearing
was completed the "swamp" once the terror
for its horrors, soon became the paradise
and garden spot of the state. At thirteen
5'ears of age, he went to Kansas with his
father, where he nmde his home. He took
up a claim for a quarter section of land on
the opposite side of the Union Pacific R. E.,
from his father's farm. In 1908 he sold
his land and settled in Jackson County,
Oregon, near a new town called Ruch. Here
he lives at the present time. He married
Miss Myra B. Garrett at Eussell, Kansas,
Aug. 6, 1902, by Judge A. E. Sweet, Pro-
bate Judge. To this union were born three
children :
G-1 lioUand, born at Bunker Hill,
May 22, 1903.
G-2 Harold Warren, born at Bunker
Hill, May 1, 1906.
G-3 Clayton Franklin, born at Ruchj
Oregon, Sept. 4, 1911.

V-2 Myrtle Smith, being the only girl in
the family, at the death of her mother, had
to assume the responsibility of the home and
the care of an invalid brother (twin) which
iiiadc the care on her very much more than
it wouhl otherwise have been. But her
lalhcr and hnjther, Charles, helped to carry
the responsibility. Later this brother,
Willie, by name, was placed in the State
Institution for hV-eble Minded, and died a
few years later. After his death, ifyrtle
married Robert II. Durham, at Bunker Hill
and began housekeeping on her father's
farm, living there a few years and then
moving to Lane County, Kan.

I rciii'iiiis DMiiiiMinii'l I larlpMiiK'i.
lUENKOUS ll.\l!li.\l (ill, IvT
was born in Sandyvillc, '^I'uscurawas County, Ohio, May ."),
1S37. lie came to riitnaiii County with his father and I'aii!-
ily in IS'lT. He, hcini;- cIcncii ycai's old when they moved
to thoir new home, wa.s a great help in the lahor, clearing
the forest away for tlu! new fields. In those early times
before the (Uvil war, neighbors were sometimes miles apart
and yet when the young people of several families assembled
in husking-bces, apple-peelings, sugar-making and other kin-
dled sports, the overflowing mirth and pleasure has not been
surpassed by any generation since then, ^lany a romance
of courtship ccnild be retold that would be as fascinating and
interesting as any modern talc of cupid's adventures. But
we will fori'go the recital of any of these.
On Jan. 5, 180.5, he married iliss Emma Liza Hull of
Liberty Township, Putnam County, Ohio, and moved on his
farm which he had purchased in Union Township, a quarter
of a mile west of the home of his father.
In the spring of IS',!), he rented and moved on his father's
farm and resided there until the time of his death.
\\i his life, Irciu'ous was a very conscientous and loya^
citizen, a leader in (he church in the community and sup-
porter of good ent(.'r])rises for the u[)buil(ling of eomnninitv
and society. Not being blest with a rugged constitution as
his othci' brothers are, he fell a [U'ey to disease almost before
he should have ri'achetl the prime of life. The Keapcr
(•laimed him on February 7, iS'iS. Tiie fuiu-ral services were
C(uulucted ill I he riiited ISretlireii Cliiireh on the homestead
and burial was made in his family burial ground in Truro
Cemetery, Tleasant Towushi]).

father's death, his mother and children
moved back on their farm west of the Plum
Creek Church. The subject of this sketch
was but a lad just beginning his 'teens and
through the \icissitudes of the times, it be-
fell his lot, much of his time, to be among
strangers at labor and attending school in
the honu^ coniinuiiily and having had good
teachers, he made good jirogress. Those
were the limes of llu' ungraded county
schools and Ihc choice of studies was largely
the option of the lad or hiss. If the pupil
chose to study the three "R's" — Reading,
Kiting, and Rithmetic, — that was the course
of study and if the pupil chose not to study

tlifir s()i-i'o\v tli;it tlicii' option liail lofl them

wht'M he caiiir to himself ;it ahout ci'.ditcc.'n
ycai's of Miic he had to pay dearly in both
time and nnoncy lo rc^^ain what he had
n('<;l('clcd to learn what hi' should have ac-
quii'cd when he was pui'suinir the three
''ITs'" in the country school, with vigilance.
'^riic learning of those coinnion scliool
branches after he went to college, was a
set-back from which he never fully re-
gained. At about the twenty-first year, he
took up his studies at the Tri-State Xornuil
College, Angola, Indiaiui, and applied him-
self assiduously until the next fall when
he secured a school in Scott Township,
Steuben County, Indiana, and taught hit>
first term of schotd. At the close (d' this
term of school, he went west, as. mentioned
in chaptt'r \'lll. His thought at the close
of this school was that it was a dismal
failui'c and that he had lost out as a
tt'achei', that the community would not
want him e\er to I'eturn. i'>ut after s[)end-
ing the sumnu'r in Kansas and Iowa, ho
I'd u rued to Angola and took uji his studies
again at the Tri-State Normal College;
A\'hen it ciwu.v time to hire teai-hers for the
wilder term, he was again chosen for the
winter term. At the cb)se of this, his sec-
GO Ireneous TIarbaugh
ond term, he went back to Iowa. Here ha
spent the summer working by the month
on a farm and in tlie fall took up teaching.
After spend iiii:- two and a half years in
Iowa, working in the sunnner and teaching
in the winter, he again returned to the
cast and after a visit among friends again
took up his studies at the T. S. N. C. and
spent the year in school. At the close of
the school year, he spent his vacation, visit-
ing in New York and Washington, D. C,
and to Harbaugh's Valley in Maryland.
Soon after returning to his homestead at
Columbus Grove, Ohio, he took down with
typhoid fever and had a long and serious
tussle with that dreaded malady, but by the
following spring sufficiently recovered to
enter the school room again. His next
school work was at Montana, where he
taught two terms, then next at Huntstown,
a neighboring school but in an adjoining
township. Two terms were taught in Lib-
erty Township and two in Pleasant Town-
sliip. In 1S07, together with his brother-
in-law, A. ('. Wolfe, they established the
Deshler 'I'i'iilh. Selling his interest to his
l)rntluM--iii-law, he took a position as sules-
iiian for a ri(|iia firm and followed that
foi" nearly seven vears.
In 189.") he was man-ied to Miss Iva
Alice (^arr and first began housekeeping in

est children were born. Being a pedagog

was an old stead}' farm horse and a three-year-old colt. We
had good neighbors that were interested in onr success, as we
liad a mortgage on the farm and they gave the boy farmer
advice and encouragement."
In a few years the youngest son, Edward, became the
farmer until he readied his nineteenth year, when he decided,
he wanted to get a better education. Tliey made a sale ami
Eddie, as he was familiarly called, went to Angola, Indiana,
and began his studies in the Tri-State College and ^Irs.
Eoberts decided to rent the farm and live around witli her
children. She rented to Mr. Freeman Gibbeny, her son-in-
law, and made her home with them. In speaking of her life
at this period, she says, "They Avere very kind and good
to me."
During her stay with them the second opportunity came
to her to again take up the nuptial vows with Mr. Cissna
Boor, formerfy of Wood County, Ohio, but then living in
Fremont, Ind. Mr. Boor was a very well-to-do farmer and
operator in the Wood County oil fields. On Oct. 5, 1893,
they were married and spent a few weeks of honeymoon at
the World's Fair in Chicago. In regard to this marriage, she
says, "I will say right here, I never liad to regret the step I

lie moved to his farm (he having purchased a part of his
father-in-law's farm) on Plum Creek, three miles east of
Kalida. Here they lived until the fall of 1888, at which time
they moved to Ottawa, having rented the farm. During his
stay on the farm nnu-h of his time was spent in public work,
pleaching, giving lectures, etc. His favorite lecture was on
"Sherman's March to the Sea."
While living at Ottawa, he was elected presiding elder

Brethren Church held at York, Pennsylvania, in 1889. In
the spring of 1890 he again returned to the farm for a couple
of years, then rented the farm again and moved back to
Columbus Grove. In 189(5 he was again elected a delegate
to the General Conference of the United Brethren Church,

At the beginning of the Spanish- American war, he was
appointed chaplain of the Gth Ohio regiment. The regiment
camped for sometime for drill and training in the south and
spent the winter of 1898 and "99 in Cuba. After the regi-
ment's return he was retained as chaplain for several years,
going to the camp along with the boys. The Gth Ohio regi-
ment was made up of the boys of the 6th Ohio regiment of
Ohio National Guards. After locating in Bowling Green I
he was elected for the third time as delegate to the General'

up housekeeping on the farm. The
next July a bright little girl came to
brighten their home. After a cou-
ple of years on the farm they moved to
Oklahoma, thinking the climate would be
more healthful. After a few years in Okla-
homa, the climate did not lielp his wife's
health, so they continued their journey on
to Califoriiia and soon afterward located
at Modesto, about one hundred and fifteen
miles east of San Francisco, where he now
owns and lives on a farm or '"ranch'''' as
they are called there.

not as robust and strong as the other boys

health. While at Los Angeles he met a
former school friend, ]\Lss Inez Darbyshire,
who used to live at Kalida, Ohio, and as is
sometimes the case, that "distance lends en-
chantment." So it w;is in this ease. The
two sojourners in a far country became fast
and true friends and on Marcli 31), 1902,
at Los Angeles, tlie city by the "big sea",
were joined in marriage. The newly-weds
took boat to Si'iittle, Washington, wliere
they lived until liis fatlici' asked liini to
come home and I'ai'm the home place. He
remained on the fann until his fatlier sold
it, tlien retufiied to California and pur-
chased a place near Modesto, where his
brother, Kichard, lives. Aside from his
farm he is a mail carrier on a rural route.

'•Isaac Ludwig is one of the prominent farmers of Marion
Twp., Allen County, Ohio, residing on a well-improved farm
in section 32, is a survivor of the Civil war. He is a member
of a staunch old American family and of a pioneer one in
Ohio. He was born Jan. 3, 1842, at Stringtown, Pickaway
County, Ohio, and is a son of Jacob and Louisa (DeLong)
Ludwig.
"The Ijudwig name in America dates back to the time of
(ie'orge Washington, for it was during the war of the Kevolu-
tion that an ancestor of the subject of this sketch, joined
the army under Washington. He was the great-grandfather
of Jacob Ludwig, our subject's father, who came as a pioneer
into Marion Township, Allen County, Ohio.
"Isaac Ludwig was the eldest born of these estimable, and
worthy parents and his home training was all in the direc-
tion of industry, temperance and fidelity. He was seven
years old when his parents came to Allen County and his
schooling was secured in a little log structure which at that
time was considered entirely adequate for the educational
needs of the children. He was reared a practical farmer and
l)rior to the outbreak of the Civil war, his horizon was prob-
aljly bounded entirely by his thoughts regarding the limits
of the county. When recruits began to pour into the towns
from the peaceful, surrounding farms, our subject was one
of the first to oiTer his service and was enlisted in Company
B, Mcljaughlin's Squadron, Ohio Volunteer Cavalr}', in
which he served three years, receiving an honorable discharge
as a paroled prisoner from T^ibby Prison, where he had been
incarcerated for a time.
"IVIr. Ludwig relates many inlcresting incidents of war
times, many of those which seldom get into print and in
many of which he took part. Space must be given here for
at least one of these, on account of its pleasant sequel.

reached a mill not a ^^reat distance frf)ni their camp. Two
of the party were (lctaile(l (o <,M-in(l tlic cum in the mill
while the othei' two went to the farm house to prospect for
some chickens. In the meantime a squad of Wheeler's
troopers, belonging to the N'inth Kentuckj C'avalr}', slipped
up to the mill and on shoi-t order onr subject and his com-
panions were made prisonei-s of war. 'The officer in charge
of the arrestinj^ party was Lieutenant Alhery K. Ilouk, who.
with southern courtesy, treated his prisoners well. Before
sending them on to Kichinond. the officer a«ked a favor of
Mr. Ludwig, to whom he seemed especially attracted. This
favor was, that when exchanged, the Union soldiers should
write up the circumstances and send the account to the
father of Lieutenant Houk, the son he could not reach, and
assure him of his xm's welfare. It is needless to add that
j\rr. Ludwig did so, and the reply he received he values as
one of Ids treasures. This did not close the incident. In
18!);"), when attending,- the National (!. A. \l. I-incampment
at Louisville, Ky., Mr. Ludwig- learned that the former Con-
federate olTicer was living on a fai'm neai' Howletts, Kv., on
the I'outi' to the Maniindth ('a\t'. lie (piiekly niaile his dei-i-
sion to call on his roinier i-aptm-, after visiting the great

(i.iiic to Putnam County. Hut there was plenty to do, for a
dense forest is not clianiicd into cleared lieldis in a few days.
A.s the eh'ariiii;- went on throu;4li many years, so \\ . 'V. had
his |iart in tlie huihlinu of a home and eh'arin^^ away the
forest.
On Dec. 2:U-(\, 18()9, ho married Miss ^Martha Willianip of
near Leipsic, Oliio, Rev. S. D. Keminer oiriciating. For a
f(AV yeai-s they lived (ui llie lionie farm and then bought a
forty-acre tract of dense forest in Henry County ni'ar Hol-
gate, Ohio. A veiy few acres had been cleared previous to
lis moving upon it. After a few years they sold out and
came back to Putnam County. In the settling up of the
estate of his father, he jjurchased the nortli half of the
homestead. This ne(es>itate(| his building on his part which
li( did. He selected a site just nortii of the creek on the
Township I'oad. Heic he erected log buildings first and
later fi'anie. He I'oided here till in llMis when he purchased
a properly in Columbus (irove. Ohio. .\ year later he .<old

.\ dau^hier has thi> to say of him: "Wv is a man loved
and resjiccti'd by all; especially is he a great favorite with
OS Willia:\[ T. ITahbaugh
children. I shall always remember how delighted and happy
he was when assigned as Sunday School teaclier of the lit lie
boys and girls, in the Plum Creek Sunday School. In thof-e
days we were all assembled in one room and many times we
were interrupted by fathers class exhibiting their vocal
talents by rehearsing a song he had taught them. His favor-
ite song for the children was,
" 'The Sunday School is my delight,
Oh, let us hasten there.
For there we learn the way that's right
And hear the voice of prayer.
Chorus
" 'I love the Sunday School,
I love the Sunday School,
(Boys) So do I. (Girls) So do I.
(All) We all love the Sunday School.'
"He was a nian always ready to give good advice and
help to those who confided in him, but never did he attempt
to change or disarrange any one's plans to conform witli his
ideas.
"Children and a great many grown-ups know him best as
'Uncle Billy.' He has always been a strictly tenipi-rance nmn
and has heartily entered into any action taken against iiitcui-
perance. In Oct., 191-1:, he was one of the faithful supijorters
and workers of a state-wide movement toward a 'Dry Ohio*,
and although his efforts seemed (o liave been defeated, they
will, nevertheless, bring forth good Iruil in sonic futui'e time.
"We are all now looking forward lo Humi- c-i'ielii-aliiig [\\r\v

They are to be praised for their devotion and companiniiship
to each other and for sharing equally llieir jovs and soitows,
during the past half century.''

covers her life that we give it in full:
"Mary ^lyrtle Harbaugh, daughter of
William T. and Martha Harbaugh, was
born in Pleasant Township, Putnam Co.,
Ohio, August 14, 188,3, and died at the
place of her birth on June 16, 1905, at the
age of twenty-one years, ten months and
two days. Under the ministry of Rev. W.
V. Davis in 1901, she united with the
Church of the United Brethren in Christ.
She was united in marriage with Fredrick
Beam, Sept. 2, 1903, the Rev. C. I. Roberts
officiating. The Lord blessed this union
with a precious little daughter. Pearl

was a great sufferer, as her affliction was
severe indeed. But she endured it all with-
out a nmrmur or a complaint. She was
quite hopeful until within a day of her
death, when she gave those who were near
Wll.l.l \M T. TTAlMiATTIFr 10.",

to iiijt'fl her ill licavon. Tlic frit-iuls aljout
her bc'dsidf saiiju^ and slio joined with them
as they san<;, "Think of the ironie ov(;r
there". While at th(,' lios[)ital .she, wiili
others, kept up their ilevolion.s in song and
prayer, and very touching indeed were her
letters to her husband and friends at home.
She was a pun; woman, a tender-hearted
and ad'ectionate wife. Ifi-r trust in .Jesus
never grew dim, she was weary hut now she
rests and 'Clod shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor eryin^^^ neither
shall there be any more pain, for the for-
mer, things have passed away.' She leaves
a father, mother, husband and infant
(hiughter, three sisters and two brothers and
a lai'i;e eirele of relatives and friends to
mourn her t'arly departure. Her sun is
gone down while it is day, but her eyes
have bi'lield the dawning of that day when
till' sun never sets. The funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, Hev. 0. F.
Ijaughbaum, on Sumlay, June 18th, at 3:00
P. M., which was attended by a large con-
course of people. The pastor delivered a
discourse from the te.\t, 'For n\n to live is
Christ, and to die is gain.' After a touch-
ing farewell, tiie body was laid away to n'st
until s\immoned to fullness of reward on
the Morning of the Resurrection."

Retrospective
We have now written the data of these nine children who
liave lived to raise families of their own and to glorify the
name of their Heavenly Father and their Saviour. They
have been pillars in the cluii'ch among men. It is but tltting
to add a few words in testimony to the worth of the worlby
citizens. We shall not atteniipt any laudation but will leave
that to others.
The lii-st of this family, probably, to distinguish them-
selves were Valentine and "T. J.", as he was familiarly
called, for their service in the War of the Rebellion in
1861-65, and T. J. who after the war, entered the ministry of
ri<jM:i;i; D.vvs in (Jiiio 111
tliG United [Jrctlircn in Cliiist. ![<• Ix'caiiic proniiiiciit in

activities of |i(iliti«al life in I he State of Ohio, llavin;,' been
twice elected Stati; Senator I'rom hi.s district, he enjoyed tlie
distinction oi* l)ein,i,' one of the most ])roniinent nieniljers of
the Senate. Jle was an e|ii(|U(nt speaker, had traveled much
and liad ffatiiered ;i \ast fund of f'eneral knowled«ro, had a
keen analysis of human nature, hated graft in all of its
forms, he was rc'spectiMJ and honored alike by his frit-nds
and opponents.
W. T., the younii'est son. has always been faithful to tlie
customs of Ihe family. (I I'aiid fat lier's house was alwavs a
h.ome for the eii'cuit-rider. minister, pa.-tor, elder or I)ishop,
if he chose to [)ass that way. So it is to this day with W. T.
Vo work for the chnrch was ever slighted by him and nuu-h
or more could he said of his generosity and the esteem by
which lie is held.
Thus we speak of the lioys of this family, and in like
manner wi' shall speak of the sisters of the family. Taking
many traits fr(un theii- motliei', we tind them in the fori'inost
ritnk among their sex as mothers. Chi-istians. respected citi-
zens of unimpeachalile charai'ti'r.

h'or the renewing of the nLcnioiy of the older ones and
foi- the in foiinat ion n\' the eommg generations. 1 will try to
gi\(' you a look at >clioo|> as they were sixty years ago. as
tlie\ were when I lirst hcgan to go to school, j-'ather moveil
to ruln.ini ('ounty, Ohio, in ISIS, when 1 was imt a year
old. .\t lln' age of seven my .school days began. I hail about
;i mile and a half to go. not by road but by path, through the
fcuvsl. There was a creek, callctl Plum ('ri'ck on accouul of
112 PioxEKK Days is Ohio
the abundance of plums that grew along its banks. This
creek had to be crossed by the scholars going to and from
the school house on what was called a "foot-log". This
font-log was made with logs fastened on one side for a walk-
ing surface and laid on blocks set on end to keep the logs
above water. There was also a railing fastened so that the
little ones could hold to, to keep from falling into the water
which sometimes A\as vt-ry deep. These foot bridges were
about a quarter of a mile long. On one occasion some of us
smaller chaps had seen some of the larger boys run across
without holding to the guardrail and a companion of mine
and myself thoiight we could do it too. So a challenge was
made. My pla3^mate started first and made a successful run.
I started to follow but as his running had started the log to
vibrating and I had not waited for it to come to rest, when
I reached about the middle of the span, I was doused into
the icy water up to my arms and before I got home my
clothes were frozen stiff. That stopped such venturesome
pranks by at least one scholar, and was not soon forgotten.
According to the school laws then, they only provided for
three months school. Those usually came in the fall or last
months of the year. The average boy would not get more
than two months schooling and many times even these were
by him having to help at home. Thus you see the great
opportunities (?) we had of getting an education. The
school system is quite different now. I often wonder that old
jK'ojde of today know as much as they do, but I suppose it is
because they went to "Brush College" or "Woodland Sem-
inary" as we called the old log school houses.
The old log school house and the up-to-date school house
with its modern appliances and curriculum make an inter-
esting comparison. The former with its round logs and
hewed puncheon floor, clapboard roof, one door, four win-
dows and for a writing desk, rows of pins were placed along
ri(iM;i;i{ Da^s i\ Ohio 113
llic \v;ill, III! wliicli wiilc Itoanls wrre placed. For scats or
IhiicIms !i Io^ iis split ill liiiir and pins put in for legs on the
ciiciilar part of tlie loj,', tlms giving tlic flat side for the seat-
ing snifacc. A l)ig st(i\c and even sometimes the hig open
fiiv|)l,i((' was tlic means of licating the school room, and the
plan was thai the lafg<'r liuys were to cut the wood for the
stn\(' ()i- jii'('|ilacc. rnmi the I'oi'cst that, in most cases, sur-
I'onnded the scliool. Studit-s tiicii were coiitined to reading,
writing, goograpliy, spelling, grammar and arithmetic. We
used (ii'ccn's gramma r. Arc(!ulTy\s s[K'lling hook, ^fcriufTy's
scries (d' reailei's, IJay's sci'ies of arithmetic. Oftentimes the
study nf L;('i>grapliy was helped hy changing it into verse or
rhyme and then singing it. 'i'lius, "'United States, Wash-
ington. I). ('.. (Ill I lie I'diomae li'i\er," etc. Uow we used to
make il ring! Many a pei-son in their more mature years
now owe to that singing of the geography facts of boundaries,
capilals, and ri\ers, the most they know now of these things.
Some of (he customs and unurittt'ii laws were as interest-
ing as e\eii the scliools themselves. It was the custom for
icachers to '"hoard around"" among the scholars. That is, the
teacher was to hoard with the scholars. The families took
turns of hoarding ihi' teacher so the hurdcn would not en-
t ii-ely fall on one or two families.
It was also the custom for the teacher to treat the si'hool
at holiday time with candy, nuts, apples or cards. In those
i\i,\> iea( lici> al>o had anotlici' »piilc prominent article which
they "Ircaled"" to some |iarlicular deserving i-haps. It was
known a< "hickory oil" and its cll'iciency and eiricacy is still
!t\ercnccd and rc<|)ecied |o this modern day. 1 ri-mcmltcr
(|iiile disiiii(il\ one time when our teadu-r gave seven of us
older hoys one of that kind of "treat". How 1 pitied the
smallest o)w. lie was the last to receive his "treat" and the
teacher only had the stub of a si.\-foot gad left, so you may
lU PioxEEU Days in Ohio
know liow the lad enjoyed his treat. How was that for
getting an education under difficulties?
How I would like to attend a real old-fasliioned spelling
school as it was conducted forty or fifty years ago. Let us
say in the start that these spelling schools had a high value
placed upon them by the community and were a social center
for the neighborhood. After the audience assembled and was
called to order, the captains who were to chose up the sides,
took their stations and proceeded to chose the spellers who
would arrange themselves on the side to whicli they were
chosen. When all were chosen who would spell, the cap-
tains each selected a trapper to spell the words the opposite
side would miss. One person on each side was also selected
to keep the taly. The teacher or some one on whom he
called would pronounce the words to be spelled. After the
spelling had continued for some time and having a report
from the tellers, a recess would be given. After recess the
school would again assemble for spelling match. The si)ellers
would arrange themselves around the wall, standing, the
teacher pronouncing the word to them as a chiss. WIumi a
word was mis-spelled the next one had a cliance. The per-
sons missing the word dropped out of liiu' and look a scat.
Oftimes tliese were verv interesting. Sdiools woiibl ln' |)ilU'(l
against schools, sometimes it would be a three-corn<'i'e(l or
even a rotii'-cornered contest.

" 'Life is real — life is earnest ;'
and let every one that lives, live to some noble purpose, and
seek to make himself useful in llie world.
"3. Our family has always been ECOXO]\IICAL. Our
fathers taurrht us by precept and example not to squander
money uselessly. Oue of theii- provt'rl)s was: 'Wilful waste
makes woeful want.' They lived plainly, dressed plaiuly, and
avoided all vain show, and wicked proflif:^acy. Let us go and
do likewise.
"3. Tliough they carefully ke])t together tlieir earnings,
they were always BENEVOLENT. They have generally
borne the name of being good to the ])()or. They practiced
the Christian virtue of hospitality. They supported the
Church of Jesus Christ. Many of them wei-c elders in the
church. Several churches are erected on hinds donated hy
them. Let us go and do likewise.
"4. Our ancestors were SOBER in their hnhits. if the
great and destructive sin of drunkenness has < re[)t into any
of the generations, it has been in later branches, 'i'he steiai

MIOMBKUS OF Till': cm I.'CII. They taught their chil-
dren to lo\(' llie elinnli, and sought to hriiig them up iu its
bosom. If any are <int id' tlu,: eliurch now, they have fallen
away t'l'om I lie ^ood old ways of their forefathers, and they
are prc'])ariiii; for tlieinselves sorrow in the end. The old
jx'ople all li\cd and died in the eluireh. They regularly at-
tended upon its sei-\iees, though great distances and numy
ini onvcnieiices stood in the way. Thoy left their praise-
worthy example io us, let us transmit it to our ehildren. Be
ours the language f)f the pious Psalmist: *lf I forget thee,
0 .lerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I
do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth; if 1 prefer not -Jerusalem above my chief joy.'
T love thy kingilom. Lord,
The liouse of Thine abode;
The Chuich our blest lledeeiner saved
With 11 is own pi'ecious blooil.
I r e'er my liearl forget
i ler wel fa re or her woe.
Lei every joy this lieai't forsake.
And every gri(d' o'erl'low.
For her my tears shall fall ;
For her my jtrayers ascend ;
i'\)r her my ei-ies and toils be given.
Till toils and i-ares shall end.
118 ClIAUACTERISTICS
Beyond my liig-lu'st joy,
T prize her hcavt'iily ways;
Her sweet comiiiunioii, solemn vows,
Her liymns of love and i)raise.
"7. Thus our ancestors sought TO PKP^PAHI': TIlI-::\r-
SELVES FOE DEATH AND HEAVEX. Tlicy knew that
they could not live forever. Their fathers liad gone hefore
them into the silent land, and they felt that they also had no
continuing city here. They therefore sought a 1 tetter country,
even a heavenly. They knew that a good hope for a hetter
life can only be obtained by repentance toward (iod. faith in
Jesus Christ, and the obedience of a pious life in all the
graces and fruits of the Spirit. Though like all men they
had their faults and failings, yet they trusted in that l)lood
which cleanses from all sin. We have good reason to believe
that they reached the blissful shore and are now before the
throne with the spirits of the just made perfect. After the
labors of life their bodies rest in hope, and their sjiirits arc
in joy and felicity. When the trump of the archangel shall
sound and all that are in their graves shall hear the voice of
the Son of Man, we believe that they shall come forth,
renewed in the glorious image of the Saviour, to sin, sutfer
and die no more. Then, in that solemn and glorious day,
may all their generations be gathei'ed to their fathers in
peace."
When soon or late we reach that coast.
O'er life's rough ocean driven,
May we rejoice no wanderer lost,
A family in heaven !

'3. How sad it is to remend)er that any of our ancestors
were wicked. How painful to think hack and be able to call
up nothing but their worldliiiess and vanity. How gloomy
the thought that any one of them should never have nuade a
pj'ofcbsion of religion — was no member of the church — or, if
a member, was not faithful, but fell back again into the
world. Let us save our children this pain and sorrow. Thus
shall we bless our posterity with pleasant memories of us
and our life, and leave them a good example that they nuiy
follow in our footsteps.
"4. What wonderful results flow from one man. One
hundred and twenty years ago a young family, witli only a
few small children, came to this new world from Switzerland.
What a multitude of descendants have sprung from that one
ancestor ! How he would be astonished, could he again stand
upon the earth and see his generations around him. Hardly
could he realize it. It would seem to him as a dream when
one waketh. But more solemn llian this are the moral con-
sequences which flow from one man. He was a pious num.
He loved the church and brought uj) his children in it. lie
helped to found the German Keformed congregation at York,
Pa., and was a member of it. He aided in building the first
church there. I have seen an old manuscript Agreement, in
which are laid down the principles on which the church shall
be built, and the rules by which the congregation shall be
governed, to which his name is signed in his own hand. It
is a truly Christian document. Its date is March 17, 1745.

flow from the spirit of fniiiily life Whether piety, or world-
liiiess and sin. rei^n in the family is everything to the
cliildiTu. Tlie spirit nf the family molds tlie children
silently I)ut surely for good or for evil, for weal or woe. It
is a true j)roverh, 'The ap|)le does not fall far from the
tiee.' Had Ahraham 7'eniained amid the idolatry of Chaldea,
where and what would haxc heen Isaac and Jacoh, and tlu'
twelve ])atriarchs? They would have heen idolaters and the
pagan s^jirit would have reigned in all their families. The
fiuiily s[)ii'it is to children what soil is to plants — the growth
of the ]>lants is determined Ity the character of the soil. If
grace he in it, the plants will thrive in grace. If sin and
neglect of (iod l)e in it, its fi'uits will he unto sorrow and
death.
"What a Ijlessed power is Christianity in family life.
How it nudces ])arents and childicn lia])pier and hetter. How
it turns the hearts of parents toward their children, and the
hearts of children toward their parents. How dreadful is
the thouglit of a family in which there is no higher power
than mere mitural affection, ])ure as it nuiy seem to he in the
eyes of mortals. How awful the thought of a family with-
out a (iod! Let home he ever so homely — let the parental
cot be ever so lowly, let hut the love of God, the grace of
Christ, and the communion of the Holy Ghost he in it, and
it is a bosom of powt'rs that shall reign in the earth — a source
of harmonies that shall sound down into everlasting ages!
How blessed ami hallowed is the reign of the church in hearts
and families!
