PREFACE.
The desire to know something of our ancestors is very general,
and the greater the knowledge acquired the more interesting the
subject becomes. For years I felt that at least I should like to
know my owni family line in this country, but had little or no time
to devote to researches in that direction.
There never was a time when che writer was not interested in
family history, and this natural inclination was fostered by his
venerable grandmother, whose knowledge of her people was very
complete. The names of the original Spaid family and some notes
on them were made at her dictation fully thirty years ago.
Called home to Ohio from Texas in December, 1920, by the
critical illness of my beloved father, I was amazed at the changes
that had taken place in the personnel of the home community in
the fifteen years that I had sojourned in the southwest. I had
always realized the importance of family history to the generations
that should follow, and I now saw the diliiculty, if not impossi-
bility, of gathering the history of our ancestors after a few of
the olde;- members now living should pass away; therefore I
]-esolved to complete the work at whatever cost.
During the past two years I have devoted all my time to
the subject. I have searched through the musty records of
churches, probate courts, old family manuscripts, and have looked
thi'ough genealogical works almost without number. Not only this
but I visited all the old graveyards where any number of Spaids
are buried ; talked with the oldest inhabitants here and there ;
written fully two thousand letters of inquiry, and traveled in
search of information many times that number of miles.
But notwithstanding my earnest labors, I am not unmindful
that my work is far from complete. My ardent hope, however, is
that some person in the near future may take up the subject where
I leave it, and give a more full and interesting history of the
family in this country than it has been possible for mo to do at
this time.
The compiler of a family history will find himself dividing his
material natui-ally into three classes; knotty questions that he will
straighten out and lay aside, material that he uses, vexing problems
that clothe his mind like sackcloth. But we have performed the
dull duty of an editor to the best of our judgment, with more labor
than we expect thanks, without any indulgence to our private
sense or conjecture.

INTRODUCTION
Daniel Webster said, "Those who do not look upon themselves
as a link connecting the past with the future do not perform their
duty to the world."
During the past two years in prosecuting our labor of filial
devotion to the memory of a Spaid grandmother we were fre-
quently asked, "Why write a family history?" "What is the
necessity for it?"
If it is deemed necessary to write up the pedigree of certain
animals, and register them, is not the record of a worthy family
much more important?
If it is important that the church and state should keep a careful
record of their historical incidents and facts, it is equally so that
the family, the most important of the three, should do so, because
it lies at the foundation of the others. It is a well recognized fact
that the prosperity of the state and the success of the church are
dependent upon the virtue, good order and sanctity of the home.
"Break down the safeguards of this, the first institution in the
plan of God, and social order is destroyed and national greatness
imperiled."
If "Blood is thicker than water," those of the same family should
be nearer and dearer to us than others, and we should be more
interested in their success and welfare. It has been well said,
^'They who care not to know their ancestors, are wanting in
natural affection, and regardless of filial duty."
However indifferent some may affect to be regarding this ques-
tion of ancestry, universal experience of human nature serves to
prove that those who rea^y have a pedigree wiH usually boast of
it, whilst those who lack one, and cannot perhaps even trace to
their grandfather, will condemn such as frivolous and foolish.
Some affect to be indifferent to such matters, on the principle that
we judge of a man as we find him, and not on the merits of his
ancestors, but such feelings are not in harmony with those of the
student of history and of hereditary genius. It is said President
Garfield delighted to dwell on the traits of his ancestors and was
justly proud of his long lineage.
The object of the present undertaking is to preserve in the
deluge of time the pedigrees and salient historic incidents in a
family and to present them in the popular form of a direct
pedigree. Many lineages must of necessity contain nothing but
simple records of uneventful generations, but they will preserve
2 Spaid Genealogy
facts of great interest to descendants which would otherwise in
many cases be lost in the history of a family. Other objects had
in view in publishing this collection, is the preservation of names,
which indifference or accident might have forever placed beyond
reach.
The preservation of pedigrees is not the mere pastime of the
idle and curious, it is the honorable employment of the student
and historian, for it has always formed the basis of true history.
So important a place did the preservation of a pedigree occupy
among the Israelites that it was established as a positive obligation
upon evei-y Levite in the Temple.
It certainly is a matter of vital importance to the members of
a large family such as ours, as the country gets older and the con-
nections increase, and the name becomes more familiar in all the
professions and trades, to be able easily to trace the family back
to the early history of the countiy when neighbors were few and
far apaii; and the country was a trackless wilderness. Also, it is
a great satisfaction and comfort for anybody who has any interest
in his family connection to be able readily to place the name of
any person or family and to know who his ancestors were and to
what branch of the family he belongs, and how he stands related
to every other member of the family. Many have given little
attention to such matters, and hence are quite ignorant of their
ancestors, or even their nearest relatives. To such persons a
family history where such information can be had at a glance,
would be a source of great pleasure.
In presenting the present volume to the kinfolk, the compiler
has no apology to offer. He feels that he has diligently applied
himself to the task of making the best possible compilation of
such records as are at the disposal of genealogists. It is not
assumed that he has finished a work that is perfect, complete, or
free from error, but to the contrary, he rather expects some
criticism on these points. No one, however, who has not himself
made genealogical researches and attempted the compilation of a
family history, on a large scale, has any idea of the diliiculties
and perplexities that have to be met and conquered; especially in
a case like this, where no previous compilation, on which to add,
improve, and correct, has been at the disposal of the compiler.
Family traditions unsupported by facts are of little value to the
family historian. But far more discouraging is the unfortunate
lack of education of the American people, as to the value of family
history, and their consequent lack of sufficient interest to induce
them to reply to letters asking them, yes, beseeching them, to send
in their lineages and family history. This has caused the editor
unsurmountablc perplexity. Whole families would have been
omitted but for the industry and sagacity of relatives, who in
addition to their own recoi'ds, have collected and furnished us
with collateral branches of their families.
Should any member of the family, who has not personally fur-
Spaid Genealogy 3
nished records, of an authentic nature of his own family, on
inspection of this volume, find any of his lineage oi^ family records
incomplete or incorrect, let him blame himself for not insuring its
correctness, by sending to the compiler the very knowledge, by
which he judges of the error as herein made.
In compiling this genealogy we have spared no pains to have it
complete and perfect as possible. Few have any conception of the
labor, patience, perseverance and sacrifice of time and money,
necessary to gather up the history of a family scattered from
Boston to Los Angeles and from Washington to Florida, over so
great a country. Some have not been able to see the importance
of such a work, and hence were not careful to answer our corre-
spondence, or to tell us what they knew. We are pleased to say
they were few in number. Others have been most accommodating
and kind, giving valuable help and much encouragement in the
work.
We feel repaid for the effort in the new acquaintances we have
formed, and the information we have gathered about the connec-
tion, which is a great satisfaction to us ; and we trust it will be as
much to those who shall avail themselves of a copy. If in the
publication of the facts we have gathered, the genealogical taste
of our people now living, or those who may come after, may be
gratified even in some small degree, we shall feel that our labors
have not been altogether in vain.
One of the greatest annoyances to genealogists is the idea in the
minds of many persons that the compilation and publication of a
genealogy is a commercial enterprise, and is fostered by mercenary
motives. Nothing, however, could be further from the fact, as all
genealogists agree that their productions never have been financial
successes. The book is for private circulation and will sell only to
members of the family and to but very few of them. If enough
are sold' to cover the expense of printing, binding and engraving,
we shall be satisfied. The two years' work, the money
spent for postage and in traveling to gather data, has been given
for the philanthropic purpose that this family might preserve an
historical record of itself.
The compiler of this volume will consider it a favor if any
member of the family, possessing the necessary information, will
kindly furnish him with any additions or corrections to the contents
of this edition, that the next edition of the Spaid Genealogy, when-
ever that may be compiled, may be that much more correct and
complete. While the writer of this work will never compile
another genealogy, he will consent to act as historian of the family,
and preserve all records that come into his hands, until some
other member of the kinfolk begins a revision of this edition, when
he will cheerfully turn all records over to him.
It was the original intention to devote our work exclusively to
ancestry, and to merely catalogue the living in their proper family,
but later we found it expedient to give thumb-nail sketches of the
living, confining ourselves to the merest data — dates of birth,
4 Spaid Genealogy
marriage, name of wife and children, occupation, address. Each
lineage is intended to be an impartial record, and we have been
careful to impunge all such adjectives as great, prominent, pious,
from the pedigrees. The historic ollices held, works written, and
other remarks pretty clearly define the position of each line of
ancestry without any laudatory statements.
Our special thanks are due to the venerable Luther Spaid, of
Pleasant City, Ohio, for helpful suggestions. Prof. Frank Spaid
and Elvie Spaid, of Concord, W. Va. ; Hilary Spaid and Bertha
Spaid, of Yellow Springs, W. Va. ; Rev. Angus Spaid and Mrs.
Fanny Brill, of Hooks Mills, W. Va. ; Mary Anderson, of Clear-
brook, Va. ; Edgar Sine, of Trone, Va. ; Rev. Charles R. Sine, of

Dr. John Secrest, of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Rose McWilliams, of
Caldwell, Ohio; Mrs. Mary Rowland, of Nampa, Idaho; Sadie
Spaid Trott and the late William H. Spaid, of Buffalo, Ohio, have
furnished data and interesting facts with a readiness and, fullness
which, had some others equally interested emulated, it would have
greatly lessened our labors. Others who have aided us Ave must
thank in a general way.

And smiles for the sometime gnest,
But oft for 'our own'
The bitter tone
Though we love 'our own the best."
CHAPTER I.
The Great Progenitor.
This is the story of a German schoolboy, who with a bundle of
books under his arm, one fine morning in April, 1776, was on his
way to the High School of Cassell, the small capital city of the
Grand Duchy of Hesse, when he was kidnapped by two soldiers of
the Grand Duke Friedrick H, to be sold to King George HI of
England for service in the rebellious colonies of America. He was
quickly taken by the soldiers to their barracks and so closely was
he held prisoner that he never again saw his parents nor brother
and sister. Nor would they let him go to bid his family farewell
before he was shipped out by way of England to America.
This seventeen year old schoolboy was George Nicholas Spaht,
the elder son of Michael and Cunegunda Spaht. He had one
brother, Mathias, and one sister. Charity. Why did not his parents
protest against such tyranny? Autocracy is not a new develop-
ment in Germany. History tells us that if a mother protested in a
case like this she was thrown into prison ; if the father protested,
he was flogged. And they were not alone in their suff'ering. This
same Grand Duke furnished 22,000 soldiers to the English King
and many of them were obtained in the same way. The finances
of the Grand Duchy were considerably augmented at the expense
of the welfare and morality of the people, and the dissolute ruler
kept up a splendid court on the proceeds of the pay.
"The Hessians were the victims of the tyranny of their rulers,
who sold the lives and services of their subjects to the highest
bidder. The English government was at that time the best cus-
tomer. Large profits were realized by the petty princes who were
willing to sell mercenaries for the war m the American colonies,
as can be seen by examination of the contracts between the parties
on either side, contracts which were not kept secret. — All told, the
expense to England for the German mercenary troops was at least
seven million pounds sterling, the equivalent at present of one
hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty million dollars. — The
greatest of the German princes did not allow his subjects to be
sold. Frederick the Great used his influence against the sale of
recruits in other German states and refused to allow mercenaries
who were intended for the American service to pass through his
domains," says Prof. Faust in his great work, 'The German Ele-
ment in America."
Dr. Holmes very tritely observes that "There are but two biog-
raphers who can tell the story of a man's life — the person himself
and the recording angel. The first cannot be trusted to tell the
whole truth, and the second never lets his book go out of his own
hands." Now since our great ancestor did not leave the story of
6 Spaid Genealogy
his life, and I have not access to the recording angel's book, it is
our intention to set down here only a few glimpses, as it were, of
the Great Progenitor.
We do not know how long he remained in England, nor how
long the voyage lasted, but history tells us that on Christmas eve,
1776, the Hessians under Col. Rahl were keepmg the vigil of the
Nativity in their customary manner at Trenton, N. J., when Gen.
Washington with a handful of troops crossed the Delaware river
amidst floating ice, surprised the hilarious Hessians, killed a few
and captured more than a thousand and fled back to Philadelphia.
Blessed, blessed Night ! that gave a Redeemer to a sin-sick world !
And if we had not been a temperance man for half a hundred
years, we would add blessed be that booze that gave a thousand
German prisoners to the Father of our Country!
That the American Colonists despised the German troops is not
surprising and if the prison camps had been located among purely
English settlers it is probable that at the first reverses the Ameri-
can ti'oops sufl'ered, all the prisoners would have been massacred.
So with a wisdom almost divine the prison camps for the Germans
were established in German settlements, the chief camps being at
Germanto\\m, near Philadelphia, and at Winchester, Va. Young
Spaid was sent to the latter camp.
According to the records imprisonment in these camps was only
nominal, at least after the first few months. Whether the com-
munity was held responsible for so many prisoners and was
permitted to enforce prison rules to suit themselves, we cannot
tell at thif( date. The German settlers living at both Winchester
and Germantown were, for the most part, from the Palatine, a
state adjoining Hesse, from whence these soldiers came, and are
invariably considered to have been high class colonists, having fled
from Germany during the religious wars. The best understanding
between the Palatinate settlers and the Hessian soldiers would
exist as a matter of course. They used the same language and
most of them were of the same religion — Lutheran. Seeing their
countrymen enjoying such liberty and comfort on the frontier of
America, with a climate so salubrious as the Shenandoah valley,
with the forests full of game and the streams full of fish, and
where land might be had for the asking, the great wonder is that
any of the Hessian soldiers elected to be exchanged and returned
to the home land, unless they had left families there.
Well, George Spaid elected to stay in America. Thanks be to
God! ^'^The Hessian soldiers had been sent to these prison camps
early in '77 and the war ended with the siege of Yorktown in
October, 1781, so that the exchange of prisoners did not take place
before the Spring of '82, and in those five years the German soldiers
had ample time to learn of the advantages and disadvantages of
frontier life. We are led to think their imprisonment was only
*The most celebrated person of Hessian descent in American
history is General Custer (Kuster in German spelling) who was
massacred with all his forces in the Indian war.
Spaid Genealogy 7
nominal because in 1782 George Spaid married Elizabeth Gale
(Kale), the daughter of a pioneer German whose home was on the
west bank of Capon river about thirty miles west of Winchester.
When and where these young people met cannot now be ascer-
tained, and the date of their marriage is unknown. During the
Civil war the Union soldiers destroyed all the records of Hamp-
shire county. (We thought the county officer at Romney, the
county seat of Hampshire county, took a malicious pleasure in
telling us this when he learned we were from Ohio.) Most of
those of Frederick county (Winchester) were also destroyed, the
marriage licenses there starting with the date 1789. The first
eniry in the Hebron Lutheran church record is also dated 1789, so
there is little hope of ever having any definite date on this mar-
riage. It is certain the Cales lived on Capon river before the
outbreak of the Revolutionary war because many of the old grave-
stones bear dates of death so early as 1770, or even earlier, of the
Cales buried there.
We may take it for granted that the first home of the young
people was a log hut in the wilderness, but whether on what is now
known as the Spaid farm, adjoining James Creswell's farm, we
cannot now tell. Certain it is that he soon after marriage had a
pretentious home here that was still standing in 1900 when the
venerable Luther Spaid visited his relatives in Hampshire county
and was taken to see the old home of his grandfather, a ten-room
weatherboarded house — part of it a log house weatherboarded, and
then used for a sheep shed. Luther brought away a door-latch
and part of a log as a relic of the first Spaid home in America.
It is not much of a guess to say that the Spaids lived on this
farm from their marriage in 1782 till their removal to Ohio in
1819, a period of thirty-seven years. Here then were born to them
all their nine children, four daughters and five sons, in the order
named: John, Frederick, Elizabeth, Mary, Michael, Christina,
William, Nancy, Richard. The last named is a guess. Richaixi
died a little boy about eleven years old, and doubtless is buried in
the Gale cemetery — the Gale farm was only about two miles away
on the same bank (the west bank) of Capon river. We could find
no gravestone carved for him, but the cemetery has been thrown
into a pasture field so long, and nearly all the stones are knocked
down and broken into many pieces, for all were flag stones. We
never did find any family Bible of George Spaid containing a
record, but he and his wife and each of his eight children have
gravestone with date of birth and death carved on it, and each of
the eight children that lived to marry has left a family record in
some branch of the descendants, and in every case but one the
dates in the Bible record agree with the dates on the gravestone.
Uncle John's Bible record is undoubtedly correct and the/ date on
the gravestone incorrect. The Bible record was filled out by the
careful Meredith Capper.
In some parts of the family the opinion prevails that George
Nicholas was not overfond of work, but it is inconceivable that a
8 Spaid Genealogy
robust young fellow could locate in the woods, hew out a farm and
provide for a large family without doing considerable work. The
two oldest in the family were boys, and there can be no doubt that
they were taught to work, the other children were also taught to
work; but there can be no question of the father's working when
he was a young man. Beside the children all married and estab-
lished homes of their own as soon as they came of age. Six of
the children married in Virginia and three of them (John, Fred,
and Christina) made theii- homes there all their lives. Three
(Elizabeth, Mary, and Michael) married in Virginia but removed,
to Ohio when they had only one or two children. William was
nineteen and Nancy twelve when they went to Ohio, but both
married partners that had been born and reared in Virginia, and
they had probably first known them there.
The campaigns of St. Claire and Hari'ison (a Virginian) in the
Northwest territory during the war of 1812 had brought back an
intimate knowledge of that country to every section of Virginia,
and fear of the Indians had been I'educed to a negative quantity
by the terrible drubbing St. Clair had given them at Vincennes.
Every family in western Virginia were talking about the fertile
valleys of Ohio and the beautiful prairies of Indiana, and certainly
half of them resolved to go to that new country. People inured
to the frontier life are always the first to move on when the
community begins to fill up with settlers. They want elbow room.
Newly wedded farmer folks can get a start easier in a new country
where land is cheap, so the younger half of the Spaid family
resolved to go to Ohio. What induced the aged parents (Both
were then sixty years old.) to go with these children we cannot
tell, for they had a good farm, a large house, and three of their
children were married and lived in the community.
The four Spaid families (William married in a year or two.)
established their homes at the junction of the Seneca and Buffalo
forks of Wills creek. They owned four farms in a row: Mary
Hellyer's was the easternmost; then Elizabeth Secrest's; then
Michael Spaid's ; and William's farm adjoined Michael's on the
west. We had forgotten to say that Elizabeth had married Heniy
Secrest, Mary married George Hellyer, and Christina married
Captain James Anderson, before this migration to Ohio. A fe'w
years after coming to Ohio, Nancy, the youngest daughter, married
William Frye and they located up the Buffalo fork about three
miles from the brothers and sisters. It seems that the parents
did not locate on a farm to themselves but lived in a log hut on
Michael's farm. Luther Spaid says his grandfather bought all
this land and gave each child a farm. Each family lived in a
log house in the woods, and all of them had to work like the
mischief to clear out fields to raise gardens and crops. The oak
timber was the best in the world, and to split enough rails to
fence in their "clearings" was not so big a task. Game was
plentiful at that time, and the streams were full of fish.
The year of the Hegira was 1819, in the Autumn, and in June,
Spaid Genealogy 9
1821, the mother of these Spaids died and was buried at Hopewell,
a little cemetery on a hill less than a mile west of William's farm.
It was the only cemetery in that section at that date, for Mt. Zion
cemetery was started in 1828, and Buffalo still later. She was
sixty-two years old at the time of her death, but we never heard
what caused her death. Nor can we tell anything definite about
her, though the writer well knew Aunt Nancy and Uncle William
and could have gotten all sorts of information from them, but at
that time was less interested in family history.
Some time after the wife's death George Spaid married Barbara
Albin, the widow of James Albin, a Revolutionary soldier who had
gone from Hampshire county to Ohio many years before the
Spaids. They continued to live in a cabin on the farm of Michael
Spaid. One day in the Summer of 1833 Barbara and Margaret
(Michael's wife) went to a neighbor's for an all day quilting party,
leaving Christina, Michael's oldest daughter, to care for the chil-
dren and prepare dinner. She was to call her grandfather when
dinner was ready to come eat with them. He lived down over a
bank from Michael's home in a sheltered cove only a short distance
away. When dinner was prepared Christina went to tell her
grandsire dinner was ready. A rail fence with bars separated the
two cabins, and when the sixteen year old girl reached the bars
she found the old man lying dead with his cane lying across his
chest. Knowing that it was nearly dinner time, he had evidently
started for the son's home and was stricken with heart failure on
the way. Everything indicated that he had died without a
struggle. He was buried by the side of his first wife at Hopewell
Graves of George and Elizabeth Spaid
10 Spaid Genealogy
and excellent dressed simd-stone monuments mark theii- gfraves.
His is proving the better stone and every word is discernible, as
may be seen in the picture. The Grandmother's gravestone is
now scaled off so that part of the epitaph cannot be read. Fortu-
nately the writer copied it thirty years ago. Barbara, his widow,
went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Peter Jordan, about ten miles
away, and lived to a great age. but when she died was brought
and buried by the side of her first husband, James Albin, at
Hopewell.
The original Spaid family in America, then, consisted of parents
and children as follows :
(1) George Nicholas Spaid, born in Germany, Dec. 22, 1759-
died in Ohio, June 15, 1833.
(2) Elizabeth Cale, born in Virginia, in 1759 — died in Ohio
in June, 1821.
(3) John Spaid (12), Aug. 19, 1783-March 2, 1862.
(4) Frederick Spaid (1365), Dec. 3, 1785-Jan. 28. 1872.
(5) Elizabeth Spaid (1957), July 23, 1790-Mav 22, 1862.
(6) Mary Spaid (2436), Dec. 6, 1793-April 7, 1870.
(7) Michael Spaid (3827), Oct. 1, 1795-May 26, 1872.
(8) Christina Spaid (4175), Oct. 11, 1797-Oct. 10, 1881.
(9) William Spaid (4500), Jan. 7, 1800-March 28. 1890.
(10) Nancy Spaid (4815), Feb. 10, 1806-Dec. 9. 1884.
(11) Richard Spaid, died in early youth.
GENERAL REMARKS.
On the Family.
It is interesting to know the origin and morale of a family ; the
religious convictions, the genius, the thrift, the habits, and the
crowning motives that actuated them ; what they lived for and
what they accomplished.
Our ancestors came to this country in moderate circumstances.
They were (and still are) foi- the most part, tillers of the soil.
They settled in the great forests of Virginia and Ohio, put up their
own log cabins and hewed out their own farms. They raised the
flax, the wool, and the leather and made their own clothes and
shoes. Railroads weiv not thought of and modern farm machinery
unknown; it was diflicult to market what they raised by dint of
hard toil.
They were not given to push themselves into public notice. In
political matters they preferred others above themselves, hence
few sought ollicial position. Nevertheless they were patriotic and
loyal to their country, and to their church. About an equal number
fell on either side in the Civil war. We have no reason to be
ashamed of oui' ci'owd.
While the Spaids were not remarkable for clannishness and were
anything but mushy in their affection, they had a filial devotion to
parents and a kindly feeling for the relatives that was most exem-
plary. Each of the eight children that married named a daughter
in honor of their mother and six of them named a son George for
Spaid Genealogy 11
the father. The Johns, Freds. Mikes and Williams is almost
confusing, as you may see by the index. The five Spaid families
in Ohio lived in the one community all their lives. Each had large
families. Aunt Nancy had the smallest family — six; Aunt Polly
Hellyer, the largest — twelve ; the rest, intermediate numbers. They
lived in perfect harmony all their lives so far as we have ever
heard, and we knew all the forty-five grandchildren except those
that died young and six of the Hellyer family that went to Indiana
and California at an early day. The three Spaid families that
remained in Virginia lived harmoniously together. The twenty-
three grandchildren in those families, we are convinced, were
excellent citizens, filial sons and daughters, pious Christians. Their
descendants, like those in Ohio, have intermarried many times.
By birth and life's career the Spaids were, and are, of the great
middle class ; pioneers, builders of homes, reliable citizens of whom
to build a state.
Who could have foreseen that this German schoolboy filched
from his home and parents by the ruthless ruler of a petty state,
and transplanted to the wilderness of America, should marry in
his twenty-second year and in a hundred and forty years from
that date, be the progenitor of nearly six thousand souls? We
have neither the time nor money to trace the ancestry back in
Germany. We were never told that we are descended from the
nobility of Europe. In all this throng we have never heard of but
two being in prison, and those cases were of questionable justice.
Two were in sanitariums ; two were mentally deficient ; and but
two or three suicides. This is certainly not a bad record, and far
above the average. It may readily be believed that most ancestral
trees, like trees in a forest, have some crooked limbs.
The Spaids are a resolute people. This above all others we
think the tribal mark. Any matter is carefully considered, even
subconsciously, by the mind, and a course of action resolved on.
After that the Old Harry himself couldn't change them. When a
Spaid sins it is with his eyes opened and with the full consent of
his will ; never through weakness. They make the best of friends,
for they are loyal and never waver in friendship. But once you
lose their good opinion, of you, and you might as well try to move
mountains as to regain it.
On Education.
There can be no question that all these children were taught to
speak German, for the father would be considered a fairly well
educated man, being a high school boy at the time he was kid-
napped from his native land. The writer's Grandmother, Christina
Spaid Dyson, said her parents, Michael and Margaret Spaid,
remembered their German as long as they lived, used it in talking
to travelers and once in a while to each other when they desired
to make a remark and did not want the children to know what they
were saying, for they did not teach their children the language.
The older children were given what school advantages the frontier
afforded, and it msut have been fairly good, for Cephas Garvin
1-2
Spaid Genealogy
tells us that his Grandfathei- (Frederick Spaid) taught in the
public schools. Of course that means taught in the American
language. But that does not imply that he could not talk German
at home to his parents. We are fully persuaded that all nine
children could read and write American and could speak and
probably I'ead the German language.
Alt. Zion Lutheran Church
On Religion.
Without a doubt the religious training of George Nicholas Spaid
had been Lutheran, so we were surprised at not finding the names
of all his children except John and Fred (who wei-e born before
1789), on the baptismal page of the Hebron Lutheran church
record. They are not there. The families of John and Fred and
Christina and Mary Hellyer were reai'ed in the faith of the Chris-
tian chui-ch. The vast majority of their descendants still adhere
to that faith, except the Hellyer family, who are mostly Methodists.
The families of Elizabeth and Nancy and Michael and William were
Lutherans and nearly all their descendants are of that faith. The
older members always reminded us of Brahmins ; serene in their

faith, without doubt and ahnost without emotion. The matter was
settled so far as they were concerned and there was no room for
argument. To (luote a Mt. Zion Lutheran, " 'Tis as 'tis and can't
be no 'tiser." But as a matter of fact Spaids are found in every
denomination. They are essentially a religious people; fi"ee from
cant, absolutely without hypocrisy. He is more likely to pose as
irreligious, rather than profess to be too religious.
Rev. William Keil was pastor of the Hebron Lutheran church
on Capon river from lcS2o to 1828, and in that time some of those
that had formerly belonged to that parish but migrated to Ohio,
must have been back on a visit, or at least sent a letter back telling
of the lack of spiritual guidance, for in the latter year he resigned
at Hebron and went to the Spaid-Secrest settlement, where he
Spaid Genealogy 15
founded four churches as the years went by, for these people and
their descendants. Nor were his labors confined to this settle-
ment alone, for he was a circuit rider and his parish included half
a dozen counties in southeastern Ohio, and he is said to have
founded forty churches. For more than sixty years he lived at
Senecaville, and ministered to these people. He probably baptized,
confirmed, married, and buried more Spaids and Secrests than all
other ministers of any and all denominations put together. He
died in 1893 in his ninety-second year, but of course in the latter
years of his life younger men had charge of the churches he had
founded.
For the first hundred years after the marriage of George Spaid
in 1782 there was only a single divorce ; now they have become all
too common. It is to be hoped that our people will realize the
danger of chis insidious modern evil and revert to the pure family
life of our ancestors.
On Authority.
From Aunt Nancy Frye we got the names of the parents of
George Spaid and the brother and sister. From Cephas Garvin of
Virginia, the fact that he was kidnapped from his home, and he
had frequently heard the story told by his grandfather. Uncle
Fred, probably the most intellectual member of the family. From
American history came the story of the carousal and capture at
Trenton. The story of his latter years and his sudden death we
had from our venerable grandmother, Christina Spaid Dyson, who
found him dead, and who was nearly sixteen years old at that
time. The dates are copied from the gravestone at Hopewell.
On D. a. R.
There was always a tradition in the family that after the capture
of George Spaid he did not remain a prisoner of war long but
volunteered in the continental army and fought under Washington
till the end of the war, then married and settled in western Vir-
ginia. We are sorry not to be able to confirm this tradition, but
at the instigation of Uncle Joe Cannon the files in the war depart-
ment were searched and his name was not found on the roster of
soldiers of the Revolution. Nor could the name be found in the
archives of the state library of Virginia at Richmond. But his
father-in-law, John Cale, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war,
a member of the Eighth Virginia Regiment, as has been attested
by the searcher in the stare library at Richmond, which has a
more complete roster of the Virginians in that war than the
Federal Government. Therefore all persons descended from Eliza-
beth Cale Spaid and George Spaid are entitled to join this patriotic
society. The same holds good of all descendants of her brother,
George Cale, who settled near the Spaids in southeastern Ohio.
On Occupations.
As we have said, most of the Spaids were tillers of the soil. But
as a matter of fact they are found in every calling. Especially are
16 Spaid Genealogy
they numerous as millmen and miners. And in all professions
we have our full quota. We venture the remark that the family
has furnished more teachers to the schools of America than any
other family of like size. Many times we found that informants
forgot to mention that three or four of the family were teaching
school. Then we have a dozen physicians and six dentists; four-
teen lawyers, including two ladies; sixteen preachers of divers
denominations. The vast majority of the Spaid families own their
own homes or farms and do not live in rented property.
On Names.
The orthography of German names is so different from the
English that we frequently find families changing the spelling of
their names. Prof. Faust says the German spelling of the name
was Spaht, with the alphabetic sound of "a"; to American ears
that sounded as though spelled Spaid. The Great Progenitor must
have adopted the new spelling, for we never have seen any old
letters or documents in which the Gei-man form of the word was
used. Gale was undoubtedly spelled Kale or even Kahl. In the
Hebron Lutheran church record we found three spellings: Sechrist,
Secrest, Secrist. The Ohio family use Secrest; the Virginia family,
Secrist. It is probable the German spelling was Siegrest. The
family is about equally divided on the spelling of Cline, and Kline.
The latter is the original spelling. Gottlieb has been changed to
Godlove, which is the American translation of the word. The
family has almost invariably adopted the spelling Frye, instead of
Fry; Frey must have been the Gierman form of the word. Most
of the family have formed the custom of dropping the s on
Grove (s). The family are doing the same thing with Grubb(s).
Most of the family adhere to the original spelling of Hellyer,
though we have seen the word spelled Hilliard. We have seen the
word Trenor, but it was manifestly a misspelling. In this book
we have used only one spelling for family names and have followed
the majority, except in the Kline family, which was so evenly
divided on the spelling that we endea\-ored to follow the custom of
each family. In Chi'istian naines we endeavored to follow the
spelling of the individual, e. g.. May, Mae; Catherine, Kathryn.
In cases of manifest misspelling we followed the customary form.
On Illustrations.
At the inception of the plan to compile this book, it was the
wish of the writer to find photographs of the eight children that
composed the original family and have half-tones made for the
book. It was well understood that George Spaid and wife and the
little son had died before photography was known on the frontier.
Careful inquiry reveals that no photograph exists of John Spaid
and wife; Fred Spaid's wives; Henry Secrest; Captain James
Anderson; William Spaid's wives; William Frye. All we could
find of the remainder of the family arc tin-types and daguerreo-
types, most of them in very poor condition, and all of them taken
when the subjects were quite old. Notwithstanding that, these
Spaid Genealogy 17
faces show a virility and a lack of senility unusual in people of
their great age. It is hard to find photos that show more character
than these do. And remember these were made from the cheapest
kind of tin-types that evidently do not do them justice. The same
remarks apply to the grandchildren whose photographs we used.
It is impossible to make a complete collection. Of the sixty-eight
grandchildren only one is living; some of them have been dead a
hundred years ; the majority have certainly been dead half a hun-
dred years. Because of the great age of those that we consid-
ered it our duty to show in the book, we desired to show a few
representative Spaids of the younger set, so we invited professional
and business men, a few in each of the eight families, to send us
in a "cut" for use in the book. A few complied. The picture of
the Christian church in Virginia and of the three Lutheran
churches in Ohio, show the church home of all the older Spaids,
and three-fourths of the younger members of the family. Pictures
of the Christian cemeteiy in Virginia, and of Mt. Zion and Buffalo
cemeteries in Ohio, show the last resting places of nine-tenths of
all the dead Spaids. We show the gravestones of the Great Pro-
genitor and wife in Hopewell cemetery, but only three descendants
of theirs (little children) are buried there.
On Places.
When the Spaids settled in Hampshire county it was a part of
Virginia, and remained so till during the Civil war, when the
state of West Virginia was struck off. In speaking of the older
Spaids we almost invariably say they were born in Virginia, but
of those born since the war we have tried to be explicit. Frederick
county is still a part of Virginia, and along the Frederick-Hamp-
shire line there are many little post offices and it has been very
confusing to know just which county the office is in. Highview
was in Virginia for many years, but lately was moved to a building
a few rods away and that transferred it to West Virginia. When
the Spaids migrated to Ohio they settled in Guernsey county, but
when Noble county was organized the southern part of Guernsey
was attached to that new county (about 1849), and that threw
the Frye family and the Mt. Zion Lutheran church and cemetery
in Noble county. We have used the words Guernsey, Pleasant
City, Buffalo, Mt. Zion, so many times that it seemed superfluous
to add the name of the state Ohio every time. In all other cases
the name of the state is added in giving addresses, but for obvious
reasons the street number is always omitted.
On Numbering.
The first year was devoted to gathering data by the compiler,
and then early in 1922 the thumb-nail sketches were written out
with the expectation of publishing in June. But tardiness on the
part of correspondents compelled us to wait on data, for it was our
wish to gather up the whole tribe. In the meantime several deaths
have occurred and many births. Observation during the past year
would indicate that deaths occur in the family at the rate of one
18 Spaid Genealogy
a month; and l)irlhs at the rate of one each week. We correcced
our notes on hearing of the death of our people, and added the
names of all babies that we heard of. But doubtless there have
been both births and deaths not brought to our notice, so the book
is bound to be imperfect. Finally in the month of October we
numbered the Tribe of Spaid and wrote out the index. The num-
bers run consecutively from (1) to (5074), but to correct an error
or two and for names of babies sent us since numbering we have
been compelled to split numbers. Thus (255) was made to serve
three children instead of one by lettering (255-A-B-C).
Mode of Tracing.
The name of persons included in this volume who were married
and had issue are always mentioned in two different places ; the
first, where they appear in the account of their parents' family,
and the second time as the head of a new family. The paging in
this index refers to the former notice, and the latter can readily
be found by reference to the numbers prefixed to the names, which
are consecutive. For example :
(1996) Verna Pauline Moore is the only daughter of (1995)
Reah May Morgan Moore (1991). (1994) followed back shows
Reah May Morgan to be the only daughter of (1991) Elizabeth
Mary Steele Morgan (1987). (1987) followed back shows Eliza-
beth Mary Steele to be the oldest child of (1986) Amanda Secrest
Steele (1978). (1978) followed back shows Amanda Secrest to
be the oldest child of (1977) Henry G. Secrest (1968). Following
back (1968) shows Henry G. Secrest to be the oldest son of (1967)
John Secrest (1958). Following back (1958) we find John Secrest
is the oldest son of (1957) Elizabeth Spaid Secrest (5). Turn
back to (5) and you find Elizabeth Spaid is the third child of the
Great Progenitor. Thus the infant of 1920 is traced back eight
generations to the founder of a family in America who was born
in 1759, thus covering a period of a hundred and sixty years.
Multiplicity of Ancestors.
Take pencil and multiply: You had two parents, four grand-
parents, etc. Twice two are four, twice four are eight, etc., and
you will find that in the twentieth generation you had 1,048,576
ancestors without counting the intermediate generations; and in
the thirtieth generation you had over a thousand millions of ances-
tors, without counting those between yourself and the thiitieth.
Allowing thirty-three years for a generation, these thirty genera-
tions carry you back less than one thousand years.
Abbreviations.
In names of months of the year, days of the week, and many
other instances the ordinary abbreviation is used. In addition we
have used a few others as follows: b., born; d., died; wid., widow;
unm., unmarried.

Capt. Harry W. Capper (1292)
Overseas Soldiers in the World War.
The Spaid family had hundreds of soldiers in the various camps
during the World War and they deserve as much credit as those
that fought overseas, for if the war had lasted a little longer they
also would have been on the firing line. Many a boy was detained
on this side much against his will, but he was compelled to obey
his superiors, and thus did his full duty. But the complete list
would be too long and our information on the subject is too imper-
fect to publish such a list. The following list we think correct but
are unable to give rank of each individual. It is a matter of
congratulation that of the following fifty-seven boys all returned
except Mr. Morgan, of Washington City, who made the supreme
sacrifice.

Four Generations of the
SPAID FAMILY.
As an aid in mastering the history of this family we publish
here a table of four generations of the Spaids. It is interesting
to note that Mary Hellyer has the most descendants with John
Spaid a close second. Nancy has the fewest number, while Michael
and William and Christina have about an equal number of de-
scendants. Forty sets of twins have been born in the family, but
not a single set of triplets. The first generation of this faaiiily
was composed, of course, of two persons, the second of nine, the
third of 68, and the fourth of 383. All of the first, second and
third generations are dead except the venerable Luther Spaid of
Pleasant Ctiy, now in his eighty-third year. Of the fourth genera-
tion 169 are livnig. The oldest living member of the family is
Louisa Virginia Spaid Reid, of Boyce, Va., now in her eighth-eighth
year. In this table the names of all persons living on Nov. 1st,
1922, are marked with an asterisk.

CHAPTER II.
The John Spaid Family.
(12) John Spaid (3), the oldest son of George and Marg:aret
Spaid, was born in Hampshire county, Virginia (now West Vir-
ginia), August 19, 1788, and died March 2, 1862. He led the life
of an ordinary pioneer lad, hunting, fishing, and working on his
father's farm on the west bank of Capon river. There was prob-
ably no school at that early day and facilities for social enjoyment
were very few. December 19, 1805, he married Hannah Ander-
son, who was born August 15, 1786, and they established then-
home on a farm on Timber ridge just across the river from his
father's land, the home being still occupied by their descendant,
Emma Arnold Moreland. Here thirteen children were born to
them and grew to manhood and womanhood, all marrying and
leaving descendants. The father died at the outbreak of the
Civil war, that event probably hastening his death, for his family

each army. The mother survived till June 20, 1866. The children

Part One.
(26) Mahala Spaid (13), the oldest child of John and Hannah
Spaid, married William Arnold Jan. 3, 1828, and they settled on
a farm adjoining her father on the right bank of Capon river.
Mr. Arnold was killed by lightning in 1833, leaving the young
mother with four children to rear alone, but she was inured to
hard work and was equal to the occasion. Evelyn, the only daugh-
ter, never married but lived at home with her mother till her death,
and afterward made her home with her brother Tillberry. She
was deeply religious but in her old age suffered from hardening of
the arteries and her last years were clouded by illness and a mild
form of insanity. The mother died in 1881 and was survived by
her four children as follows:
(27) Evelyn Arnold, Oct. 10, 1828-Jan. 8, 1892.

(30) William Arnold (73), April 18, 1833-November 6, 1916.
(31) Amos Arnold (28), the oldest son of Mahala and William
Arnold, was a most efficient millwright and worked all over the
countiy, even so far west as Missoui'i. He served throughout the
war in the Confederate army, and May 19, 1868, he married Eliza
J. Randall, who was born March 16, 1850, and to this union were
bom nine children, only three of whom outlived the father, who
died in 1909. The mother still lives and is at pi-esent nursing her
son Robert, ill of tuberculosis, at the Larrick home on Timber
ridge. The children:
(32) Ada Arnold, Aug. 28, 1868-Oct. 5, 1882.
(33) Ira Arnold, Dec. 3, 1869-March 3, 1870.

Md., but lung trouble compelled him to give up his work. At
present he is trying the puiT air out at the Larrick home on
Timber ridge and it is hoped his splendid physique and the excel-
lent nursing of his aged mother will win out in this contest. Nov.
23, 1906, he married Minnie Kemp, bora April 28, 1883, and two
children were born to them :
(55) Dorothy Arnold, Aug. 1, 1908-

mental abberration he drowned himself in Capon river. His wife

his relatives in Ohio. Aug. 22, 1862, he enlisted and was made a

moted to Sergeant. This regiment was commanded by Col. W. B.

with his wife on his return home, he divorced her, and his brothers
gave her money to return to her people in Virginia. It seems she
did not return to Virginia, and none of the Spaids know what
became of her and the two children. Jerry Spaid, an uncle of
the children, heard of Beverly being in the Bellaire neighborhood
a few years ago, but the writer made a special trip to St. Clairs-
Spaid Genealogy 35
ville, the county seat, and went over the list of voters and tax-
payers with the county officers, but the name Spaid is unknown
in Belmont county. After divorcing his first wife, Mr. Spaid
married Maria Atcheson, born in 1832 and died Dec. 2, 1906, and
they lived in Buffalo, Ohio, where he worked at the carpenter
business till his death in 1882. There was no issue of this second
marriage. Children of the first marriage:

Their farm adjoined the Christian church on Timber ridge, and
here the aged mother continued to live with her son, Lee Kelso,
after the husband's death, till her o^vn death in 1916. Four of
their nine children died quite young, three of them within a month.
Lee Kelso never married but is still pegging away with a long
career in the schoolroom behind him. Evan Kelso is also unmar-
ried and is a grocer's clerk in Boston, Mass. The children of this

(183) James Edward Spaid (92) was born and reared in Hamp-
shire county. For a short time he was in the Confederate service
but came to Ohio in 1862 and the following year married Jane, the
only daughter of Asa and Catherine (Secrest) Dickerson, and
located in Buffalo, where he continued to reside for the remainder
of his life. Like the rest of this family he was a carpenter by
trade, but he purchased the flour mill and saw mill of Peter D.
Robins in 1870 and thereafter was always in business. In 1881
he sunk one of the first coal-shafts in Guernsey county, all the
mines previous to this being what is known as ground-hog mines,
a vein of coal outcropping on the hillside. But a goodly part of
Guernsey county is underlaid by a five-foot vein of coal at a depth
of nearly a hundred feet, and a shaft is sunk to this vein and the
coal brought to the surface by a cage or elevator very like those
used in a sky-scraper oftice building. Edward Spaid's mine gave
employment to many men and was responsible for the first growth
of the village. He was a good business man, a good citizen, a
deacon in the Lutheran church, and always interested in the
progress and welfare of the community. Mrs. Spaid was an
excellent woman. Her father, Asa Dickerson, was the first white
child born in Jackson township, Guernsey county, therefore this
was a very old pioneer family. She was born in Valley township
Jan. 4, 1838, and died March 8, 1915. The husband survived her
two years. In their last years the parents were faithfully cared
for by their oldest daughter, Sadie Spaid Trott. The children of
this family are:
(184) Arthur Glendale Spaid, Sept. 25, 1864-Dec. 22, 1864.
(185) Sarah Catherine Spaid (4097), Jan. 3, 1866-
(186) Etta Victorine Spaid (191), Oct. 25, 1867-
(187) Oscar M. Spaid (200), Dec. 3, 1869-
(188) Chase Justus Spaid (211), July 30, 1871-
(189) Walter Asa Spaid (213), April 5, 1873-
(190) Blanche C. Spaid (215), Dec. 19, 1876-
(191) Etta V. Spaid (186), daughter of Edward and Jane
Spaid, was born and reared at Buffalo. In 1886 she married
Melville A. Secrest (2197) but they were divorced and in 1892 she
married Perry Milton Albin, a farmer, and they live in the edge of
Buffalo, Ohio. The children of the first marriage are Arthur H.
and Virgil M. Secrest. See (2291) and (2298). Two childeni
were born of the second marriage:
(192) Ira C. Albin (194), Feb. 10, 1893-
(193) Octa Winona Albin (198), April 21, 1904-
(194) Ira C. Albin (192), the only son of Etta and Perry Milton
Albin, was born and reared at Buffalo, Ohio. Aug. 3, 1914, he
married Lura Secrest, daughter of Andrew and Alice (Gregg)
Secrest, who was born at Pleasant City, April 10, 1894. They live
in Buffalo and Mr. Albin works at the mines. They have three
children :
(195) Elva Wanda Albin, April 10, 1915-
(196) Milton Andrew Albin, Dec. 14. 1918-
(197) Virginia Albin, Dec. 12, 1920-
Spaid Genealogy 37
(198) Octa Winona Albin (193), the only daughter of Etta and
Milton Albin, was born and reared at Buffalo. Aug. 15, 1919,
she married John Edward Hunt, born May 2, 1892. During the
trouble with Mexico Mr. Hunt enlisted in the U. S. Army in 1916,
but was placed with the reserves the same year. After war was
declared on Germany he was called back to the colors June 24,
1917, and was made sergeant in Co. F, 146th Inf. Having already
received military training, he was among the first soldiers shipped
to France. He was wounded slightly Sept. 27, while advancing on
Montfaucon, near Verdun. This was an important point, the
Castle here being occupied by the German Crown Prince, who
overlooked the battle of Verdun from its towers. He was in the
Baccarat sector from Aug. 4 to Sept. 16, and participated in the
fighting on the Meuse and at St. Mihiel. Nov. 9, 1918, he was
severely wounded in the right leg and arm by machine gun fire at
St. Catherine, a few miles from Brussels, Belgium. The Armistice
was signed while he was in the hospital, but having partially recov-
ered he was shipped home in the Spring of 1919 and soon after-
ward discharged. The Hunts live at Buff'alo, . and have two chil-
dren :
(199-A) Harold Edward Hunt, Oct. 30, 1920-
(199-B) Etta Elizabeth Hunt, Sept. 21, 1922-
(200) Oscar M. Spaid (187), the son of Edward and Jane
(Dickerson) Spaid, was born and reared at Buff'alo, Ohio. He
married Emma C. Frye (2041) Nov. 15, 1891. Mr. Spaid is a
carpenter by trade, and they have a fine home in Derwent. Their
only son, Willis, is now assistant cashier of a bank at Carmargo,
Oklahoma. In the World Wra he was one of the first boys to get
overseas and he wrote most interesting letters home to his parents.
He was a member of Co. "A," 142d Infantry, 36th Division. We
were permitted to copy one of the fi]-st letters that he wrote after
landing in France.
Percy Yonne, France, December 30th, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father:
This dreary winter evening I will write you of my trip from the
time I left Camp Mills, New York. I left Camp Mills on the 30th
day of July, 1918, by way of an electric railway to Hoboken, New
Jersey, and where we loaded on boat that evening. We had a big
feed that night and sailed on the next evening about 4 o'clock, on
the briny deep not knowing where we would land. We had a great
time on boat, everybody was happy as could be and that made the
trip pleasant.
We had a Y. M. C. A. on the boat and we could get chocolates
and tobacco. The Y. M. C. A. men held song service on the boat
and the boys joined in and we sang all the good old familiar songs
that we knew. Before we landed we were all wishing we could see
a little land. We had a very large convoy, fourteen vessels, and
they were in sight most of the time. We had three days fighting
submarines and, believe me, it wasn't much fun. We had a fire drill
38 Spaid Genealogy
about every day and when the blast blew we were all on deck. We
had a few companies of negroes with us and they all w^ould say, "The
Company 'A' boys would take to the dining room when the blast
blew." Hal Ha! However, everything went along as smooth as
could be expected and at last we landed at Brest, France, on the
13th of August, 1918. We were all so glad to see land that it
certainly looked mighty good to us. We unloaded from the boat
and marched about four miles to the place where we camped and
there we pitched our "pup" tents as we called them and stayed
there about two w^eeks.
Brest is a city of about 90,000 people, and a very old place. One
of Napoleon's famous foi'ts is situated there. It has a large stone
wall about 30 feet high and a big iron gate at the opening. We
were there a few times as that was wiiere we drew our rations,
and of course we had a big parade there before the President of
France, everybody feeling fine so you know we were stepping
high.
We left Brest for Bar-sur-aube, down southeast of Paris. We
rode in box cars, 40 men to a car. Their cars are about the size
of our big road wagons, but w^e got along very well. We were on
the train two days and two nights and when we left the train at
Bar-sur-aube, w^e hiked about 15 miles to Urville, wdiere we stayed
till we went to the front. We drilled about every day and didn't
have much time for any amusements, but nevertheless we could
eat lots of grapes, as Urville produces more grapes than any other
part of France.
We stayed there until the last of September, 1918, and then left
for the front. We stopped at Chapigiiol for a few days before we
went on the firing line. We were close enough that we could see
them bringing the German prisoners. Of course we thought that
was great to see them, but we didn't tarry long there till we went
to the front. We marched all day and night and part of the next
day and then we were supposed to be ready to go over the top on
the morning of the eighth of October, and we sure did. 1 got lost
from my company just before we dug in that night and didn't find
them until the next day. A corporal out of my company and I
started to find them but got on the wrong road and we walked
right into the German lines. The machine guns and G. I. cans
began to pop and we took back to where we started from and
found one of the boys out of our company on a water detail so we
went back with him. That w^as about 3 o'clock that afternoon and
we dug a hole that we thought w^ould prtoect us. It was five feet
long, two feet wide and tw'o feet deep. Covered it with pine trees
and there we put in the night. Of course you think we didn't
sleep much, but we did ; we w^ei-e sure enough tired.
At about 3 o'clock the next morning they awakened us. The
Geiinans had put over a few gas shells so we put on our gas
masks and kept them on until it was over, but as luck would have
it, it didn't last long. At 4 o'clock we w^ent over the top and sure
put the Germans to flight. I stayed with the boys until about 11
o'clock when I go hit. Was sorry I didn't get to deal them a little
Spaid Genealogy 39
more misery before I left them, but the rest of the boys sure
enough put them to flight.
I had my wound dressed in the field and was sent back to first aid
station, but they wouldn't let me stop until I had reached the third
station. And from there I was sent to field hospital and then
on to the big field hospital that night. This hospital is situ-
ated around Chalon. We stayed there till the next morning
and then left for Paris. We arrived at Paris about 10
o'clock that night and had a good bath. I was there at No. 1
Hospital eleven days and from there was sent to Base Hospital 85,
situated in the northern part of the city of Paris. I had a pass
every afternoon. When we left Base Hospital 85 we went to the
St. Anns hotel, as every soldier knows what that is.
We were sent to camp at Champs. We stayed there a short
time and then we just moved from one camp to another until I
finally got back to my division at Revigny and then we hiked
fifteen days. This was one of the 36th Division's famous hikes
and we sure had some time. Now we are at Percy Yonne, France.
I don't expect we will leave here until we get ready to start back
to the good old U. S. A. Well, Mother and Father, I must close.
With lots of love, I remain
Your son,
WILLIS E. SPAID.

"I enlisted in Co. D, 2nd Virginia National Guards, July 19, 1915,
at Front Royal, Va.. and went for a short time to the target range
at Virginia Beach. June 5, 1916, we were called to Richmond for
mobilization and a few days later were shipped to Brownsville,
Texas, to guard the border. Here we drilled eight hours a day and
did guard duty at night. Oct. 15, 1916, I was attached to Gen.
Pershing's ration train in Mexico for three months and then re-
turned to my old company. Feb. 15th, 1917, we entrained for
Richmond. Va., and on reaching that place v/ere transferred to
the Virginia National Reserve Corps. Our company paraded at
the inauguration of President Wilson. March 4, 1917, Washington,
D. C, and on the 25th of the same month we were called out to
guard the railroads and tunnels of Virginia, but on Aug. 2nd were
called in and sent to Camp McClelland. Anniston, Ala. Here v/e
did intensive training till in June, 1918, when we were shipped to
Hoboken, N. J., and embarked on the transport "Finland" for
St. Nazaire, France. We met a German submarine but the battle-
ship convoying us promptly sunk the same. We landed in France
on the 29th of June, 1918, and after hiking and drilling till July
46 Spaid Genealogy
26th, we went into the front line trenches in Alsace-Lorraine,
where we stayed fifteen days. We were then relieved and at night
hiked back of the lines, and we just kept pfoing in and out for a
few days at a time till we got to Metz. Here we stayed fifteen
days on the front before we were relieved. I took sick here and
was in the hospital ten days, and was then returned to my old
outfit, Co. D, 116th Infantry, of the 29th Division, made up of
Virginia and JMaryland National Guards, and known as the Blue
and Gray Division, Gen. Morton commanding. Sept. 28, 1918, we
were sent to the Argonne Forest front, and on the 30th we were
in bad, and the 29th Division sure did lose some men on that
drive. Oct. 8th I was shot thixnigh the left shoulder with a pistol
by a wounded German lying in a shell-hole. I laid on the battle
field nearly all day and then managed to get to a field hospital and
had first-aid applied. Next morning I was operated on and sent to
Base Hospital No. 56, a short distance fi'om Verdun. Here I
remained till Dec. 26, when I was sent to Brest, via Bordeaux,,
loaded on the boat and sailed for home, landing at West Hoboken^
Jan. 21, 1919. After a short stay at Camp Merritt I was trans-
ferred to the hospital at Camp Lee, Va., and discharged on Feb. 7,
1919." Returning to Hampshire county, Henry Spaid and Gettie

(509) Hiram Spaid (16) has the banner family of all the
Spaids. Fourteen children by one mother is the record ; and eleven
of these left descendants. His father, John Spaid, had thirteen
children, all of whom left children, and not one family has become
extinct. Of these thirteen children his son Hiram has by far the
most descendants. He was the third son of John and Hannah
Spaid, and was born April 6, 1811, and died Nov. 13, 1876. April
29, 1832, he married Jemima LaFollette, a sister of Amos LaFol-
lette. She was born Nov. 6, 1814, and died March 19, 1876, just
a month before her husband. They were farmer folks and lived
on Timber ridge. Of these children Silas and George died in
early youth; Sarah was a young lady; Levi died in the Civil war;
all are dead but Christina and Regina, and thus far not one lived
to be seventy years old. The names with dates follow:

(557) Evalona C. Brooks (550), daughter of Almira and Samuel
Brooks, was born and reaied in Hampshire county. Jan. 26, 1918,
she married Boyd Simmons, who was born Dec. 8, 1890, in the
same county. Soon after their marriage he was called to the
colors and saw service in France, but we will give his experience
autobiographically : "After training in Camp Lee, Va., for some
time we left there on the 17th of July for France, arriving at St.
Nazaire, July 31, 1918. The sea was very calm and we had very
little trouble with submarines. Being sick of measles I was taken
to a hospital on landing and I had hardly recovered from that
trouble till I took sick of 'flu.' On recovering I was placed in
Co. H, 125th Infantry, and we moved to the front. I was there
forty-two days and I can't remember how many times I went over
the top; sometimes we went over two or three times a day, and
then again we would not go over for two or three days. On the
12th of October we crossed Dead Man's Valley, starting at 7
o'clock in the morning with 240 men ; and at 3 o'clock in the after-
noon we had not advanced more than one-eighth of a mile but we
were through the worst shell fire. At the end of three days our
company was called together and all that was able to respond
were 35 men. A few days later I was taken sick of gastritis and
nephritis and was in the 218 Base Hospital, Poitiers. I was there
till Jan. 9, 1919, then went to Bordeaux. Feb. 11, we left Bor-
deaux for the United States and landed at Hoboken, N. J., on the
28th, having only eight hours of calm sea on the voyage. Soon
after landing I was discharged and returned to my family at
Capon Springs." Mr. and Mrs. Simmons live on a farm near
Capon Springs, W. Va. They have three sons:
(558) John Robert Simmons, Nov. 28, 1918-
(559) Owen David Simmons, Feb. 17, 1920-
(560) Paul Frederick Simmons, Oct. 21, 1921-
(561) Gertrude M. Brooks (552), daughter of Almira and Sam-
uel Brooks, was born on the home farm in Hampshire county.
March 6, 1919, she married Carl M. Slonaker, and they live on a
farm near Dillons Run, W. Va. They have one son :
(562) Melvin O. Slonaker.
(563) Fannie B. Kline (535), of Concord, Hampshire county,
W. Va., daughter of D. W. and Margret Kline, was born Oct. 2,
1857, making her home with her parents until Feb. 21st, 1883,
when she was married to J. W. Brill, of Lafollettesville, Hamp-
shire county, W. Va. Rev. and Mrs. Brill lived in Hampshire
county near their birthplace, mostly engaged in farming, until
April, 1894, when J. W. was granted annual conference license to
preach in the U. B. church at a conference held at Staunton, Va.,
at which conference the Reverend received his appointment to
Hardy circuit, serving there six years, the family still living in
Hampshire county until 1900, at which time they moved to Crab-
bottom, Va., where J. W. served on Pentleton charge eight years.
In 1908 the family moved to East Rockingham charge, serving
there two years; in 1910 they moved to Prince William county,
56 Spaid Genealogy
Va., where the Reverend served 6V2 years. In 1916 they moved
to Bayard, W. Va., where they live at this time, Aug-ust, 1921, the
Reverend serving Bayard charge five years. To Rev. and Mrs.
Brill were born seven children, three daughters and four sons, all
living at this date:

(571) Eva L. Brill (564) was born Sept. 8, 1884, living with
her parents until Sept. 11, 1907. when she was married to Stanley
J. Rexrode, a school teacher and graduate of Dunsmore Business
College of Staunton, Va. They began housekeeping at once in
Pocahontas county, W. Va., and still live in the county seat, Mar-
linton, where Mr. Rexrode is employed in the Bank of Marlinton.
They have three children :
(572) Edward William Rexrode, Sept. 27, 1908-
(573) Naomi Alice Rexrode, Nov. 16, 1910-
(574) Virginia Frances Rexrode, Feb. 9, 1913-
(575) Annie M. Brill (565), daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. W.
Brill, spent most of her time with her parents until her marriage
to W. L. Davis, of Franklin, W. Va., who is a graduate of a busi-
ness college, Washington, D. C. They lived at Franklin until 1920,
when he sold out his business and removed to Marlinton, W. Va.,
where he is with a general store. They have three children :
(576) Layman Davis
(577) Reed Davis
(578) Grace Davis
(579) Ira D. Brill (566), son of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Brill, made
his home with his parents till September, 1911, when he entered
the employ of a lumber company of Marlinton, W. Va. He is a
graduate of Dunsmore Business College, of Staunton, Va. He
now owns a general merchandising business and is a leading citizen
and business man of Marlinton. In June, 1912, he married Lura
Moore, an accomplished school teacher of Marlinton, and four
daughters came to bless this union :
(580) Margaret Mooi-e Brill, July 17, 1913-
(581) Frances Elizabeth Brill, July 27, 1915-
(582) Catherine Sue Brill Dec. 31, 1917-
(583) Mildred Ann Brill. Dec. 7, 1919-
(584) Rev. Richard L. Brill (567) was born at Concord, Hamp-
shire county, W. Va., and was educated in the public schools and
the Shenandoah Collegiate Institute, Dayton, Va., graduating from
that institution in 1913. Previous to graduating he taught the
Maple Springs school one term. He felt the call to the ministry
but was handicapped by a weak throat and bad lungs. To over-
Spaid Genealogy
57
come this infirmity he worked for a kimber company in the woods
of Pocahontas comity, W. Va., for nearly two years. In 1914 he
was offered the pastorate of Pleasanton, a small town on the Platte
river in Nebraska, and the superintendent of the Nebraska United
Brethren Conference having assured him that the climate would
be beneficial to his health, he accepted. While serving his first
year at Pleasanton he married, Dec. 29, 1915, Grace H. Gilbert, a
school teacher of that place. He was then assigned to Broken
Bow, the county seat of Custer county, and was serving his second
year there when war was declared on the Central Powers. Soon
as he felt sure our government would send an army to Europe,
he resigned his pastorate and enlisted for service June 2, 1917.
But we will let Rev. Mr. Brill give his war experience in his own
interesting manner :
Rev. Richard L. Brill
"I resigned my charge and reported at Aurora, Neb., to the
commanding officer of H Company of the 5th Nebraska Infantry.
We went into camp there and remained there until Aug. 27th, v/hen
I was transferred to Ft. Snelling, St. Paul, Minn., for special
training. I was stationed there for a little over two months and
was then transferred to Company H, 134th Infantry, 34th Division,
at Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico. I remained there throughout
the winter and following spring instructing in bayonet, gas, and
grenade warfare. In August, 1918, we started for overseas. We
were transferred in Pullman sleepers to Camp Dix, N. J., and
prepared for overseas service. My division attracted considerable
attention on account of the part of the country it was sent from.
It was called the 'Sandstorm Division' and the men were from
Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado.
"Part of our division was on the seas when the influenza struck
58 Spaid Genealogy
our camp early in September. Here I had a special duty to per-
form. The base hospital was soon full as well as the regimental
infirmaries, and special company hospitals were established. I
volunteered to serve as nurse and in eight days took care of 156
men. I went practically without sleep for eight days, but had the
honoi- of losing fewer men than any other company in our division.
I lost only five men, while the average was about 18 men to the
company. These days were the most trying of my army experi-
ence. In France the boys could strike back and defend them-
selves, but there we were so helpless.
"Finally we found ourselves on the high seas aboard the good
ship Olympic. (The Olympic is a monster and a sister ship of the
Titanic.) We proudly plowed through the blue water without a
convoy. Our good ship was too fast for the submarines. We zig-
zagged our course and dodged here and there as wireless reports
came to us warning of danger in certain localities. Our ship was
armed with six good 6-inch guns with expert gunners standing by
aching to see a sub to try their luck. We ploughed our way finally
around the south coast of Ireland and Land's End. England, and
up Spithead into the hai'bor of Southampton, England. We had
crossed the ocean in seven days, successfully dodged all submarines
and landed 10,000 men in Europe. We remained in England for
two days and one dark night we slipped across the stormy English
Channel on the Pi'ince Edward. I was sergeant of the guard that
night and I will always remember the trip. The lightning flashes,
the boom of a naval gun occasionally and quick swerving from
our course every while on warnings from naval boats. No lights
were permitted to show above deck, and the only light visible was
the flashes of the electric heliogi-aph sending us warnings, etc.
Early in the morning we ran into the harbor of Cherbourg, France,
and when daylight came we saw the bleeding country for the first
time. We landed and went aboard the luxurious French troop
train with the cars marked 40 men or eight horses. We traveled
for two days and nights in those little coops with less than a foot
of space for the man after our packs were stacked. I was now a
platoon sergeant and it was my duty to look after my 56 men. I
shall never forget those tw^o nights of achings, numbness, cussings,
and disappointments. Why disappointed? We were on our first
retreat, as they were taking us directly towards Bordeaux and in
the opposite direction from the real thing. We were taken up into
the little peninsula jutting out into the Bay of Biscay and unloaded.
We remained here only a few days and were put aboard a train
again and sent up to Le Mans. Here came the heart-breaking
time. We were 'busted up' and the men transferred to various
divisions. I was transferred with part of my platoon to Company
B, 141st Infantry, 86th Division. Then we left for the front and
we were happy again — that is, some of us were. We went through
Paris and early in the morning we came into Chateau Thierry and
saw for the first time the devastated section of France. We
marched about for some exercise and later in the evening we en-
tered the Argonne and disembarked at Clearmont, 14 kilometers
Spaid Genealogy 59
from Verdun, and were marched towards Metz. Our new division
was taking position to advance and we joined them that night and
I was put in command of the fourth platoon. They had just been
through a hard drive in the Champagne drive and had lost very
heavily and were glad to have replacements. I shall never forget
that night. It was the 10th of November and the sky was flashing
fire. The Germans were doing their best to give the Americans
and the French shell for shell. It was rather hard to keep quiet,
but somehow we stayed there the remainder of the night. The fire
continued until eleven the next day and then there was a great
calm that was painful. The war was over and the last gun had
sent out its missile of death.
"We remained in position for a day or so and were then sent to
Pretz for a few days and then we started on an eleven-day march
back to better quarters for the winter and the wait for transpor-
tation home. We sailed for home on May 27th and landed in New
York after a stormy voyage of 14 days. We were sent to Camp
Mills, Long Island, and after a few days we entrained for Camp
Dodge, Iowa. I was discharged on June 25th, 1919, and reached
my home in Nebraska on the 26th. I served two years and 24
days. My second girl, who was eight days old when I left home,
after having a furlough with them, met me as I walked up the
street."
Rev. Brill paid a visit to his parents and relatives in Virginia
during the Summer of 1919, and then accepted the pastorate of a
Shilo, Neb., church, where he remained two years. He is now
working his way through the Seminary at Dayton, Ohio, preaching
meanwhile at Lockington. Rev. and Mrs. Brill have two little
daughters :
(585) Virginia Agnese Brill, born in 1916-
(586) Ruth Naomi Brill, born in 1918-
(587) William 0. Brill (568) was born at Concord, W. Va.,
and lived mostly with his parents until December, 1912, when he
became clerk in a store at Swifts Run, W. Va. In February, 1913,

and adds an item about the mail service, and one on grape culture
that are interesting: "I was drafted into the army June 27, 1018,
and sailed for France within a month, landing in Brest Sept. 3rd.
From Brest we went by rail to St. Amand, where I was in the
hospital fourteen days with influenza. On recovering I was as-
signed to Company E, 503rd Infantry, but was soon transferred
to Company B, 326th Infantry, 82nd Division. I was discharged
64 Spaid Genealogy
from Camp Meade, Md., June 10, 1919. I received no mail from
the time I left the States until Dec. 5, 1918, though I kept writing
every time I had an opportunity. The reason for it is as follows:
I was transferred so often and changed location so many times,
and the military authorities kept no forwarding addresses. I
knew that grape growing was a leading industry of France, for
they make so much wine and also dry them for raisins; so I
expected to see large grape arbors. Instead I saw the vines
planted like we plant corn, in rows both ways across the field; and
the vines were about the size of currant bushes." All the children
are at home except Beatrice, who married Lohr LaFollette:

Farquhar, of Wilming-ton, Ohio, a very accomplished lady. Mi',
and JNIrs. Spaid had the misfortune to lose their home and all its
contents — furniture, library, notebooks, heirlooms — by fire in May,
1917. The notebooks represented the work of a lifetime in nature
study, and they and the heirlooms are simply irreplaceable. Supt.

book on nature study, and had collected specimens and made his
notes accordingly. Mr. and Mrs. Spaid are the parents of six
children, two daughters and foui- sons. Harold died in ea]"ly child-

(851) Joseph Spaid (17) was the fourth son of John and Han-
nah Spaid, and was born and reared in Hampshire county. When
an infant nine months old his mother left him with the older
children while she took dinner to the workmen down at the river
farm. While the children were out playing, he kicked out of the
crib into the fire (an open wood fire). Hearing him scream the
72 Spaid Genealogy
children came in and pulled him out of the fire, but both feet and
one knee were badly burned. One foot had all the toes burned off,
and when healed it looked like a foot amputated at the instep.
The other foot was so badly burned that the toes were all together.
He lay unconscious for nine days, then he cried and took nourish-
ment and rapidly recovered. He was a boy of great activity and
a man of great strength. At the age of twenty-two years he
came near freezing to death while walking from his home near
Capon river to Romney, the county seat, twenty-five miles distant,
through a deep snow. He often remarked that he believed to
freeze was the easiest death one could die. Nov. 24, 1836, he mar-
ried Elizabeth Leatherman, who was born in 1818 and died March
16, 1885. She was a woman of strong religious convictions, a
Dunker or German Baptist, now known in this country as the
Church of the Brethren, and most of her descendants adhere to
this same faith. They were farmer folks and had their home on
Timber ridge. Uncle Joe lived to be the oldest of his father's
family, was greatly beloved by his people and highly respected by
his neighbors. He died in 1900 in the eighty-eighth year of his

(857) John W. Spaid (853) was born and reared in Hamp-
shire county but on reaching manhood went to Illinois to visit his
mother's people and liked the westei-n prairies so well that he de-
cided to make his home out there. Nov. 15, 1863, he married
Rhoda French, who was born in Illinois, Dec. 26, 1848. For a
time they lived in Iowa, but many years ago returned to Illinois
and purchased the farm just north of Hey worth where they still
reside. Mr. Spaid has been a very successful farmer and accumu-
lated much of this world's goods. His home is near an electric
car line and the house and barii have electric lights — in fact, the
farm is a model of its kind. The old gentleman, though in his
eighty-fourth year, is hale and atcive and enjoys the easy life
made possible by his hai'd work and frugality in early life. In
looks and disposition he more resembles his mother's people than
the Spaids. His wife is a busy, enei-getic woman descended from
a long line of Pennsylvania and Ohio colonial pioneers. Twelve
children were born to this worthy couple. Anna Elizabeth is pure
Spaid, and Sarah Alice is very much a Leatherman; both intelli-
gent and refined young women :

76 Spaid Genealogy
The second son of Joseph and Elizabeth Spaid, he was bora and
reared in Hampshire county and has lived there all his life. March
26, 1874, he married Sarah A. Anderson, who was born in this
same county Feb. 16, 185o, and eleven children have been born to
them. The oldest son died in infancy; two of them are licensed
ministers, and four sons are farmers in the middle west. All four
of his daug-hters look like TIncle Bill's girls when they were the
same age, robust and strong. Two of them are still at home with
the parents. The Spaids have been farmers all their lives.

ship in the schools of his native state. He is also a licensed min-
ister in the Church of the Brethren, but goes with his wife and
children to the Christian Sunday school and cakes an active part,
being a good speaker. April 22, 1902, he married Bertie R. Gillin
and four children have been given them. They own a good farm
on the left bank of Capon river and are prosperous farmers. Mr.
Spaid does not teach any more except as substitute for some sick
teacher or one on a vacation. The children, with dates:

sense told him no one could help him so well as a Hampshire county
girl, so a couple years later he went back home and married, Jan.

Rev. Daniel B. Spaid
(973) Rev. Daniel B. Spaid (957) was born and reared in Hamp-
shire county. He taught school for a short time, and is a licensed
minister of the Church of the Brethren. He was overseas in the
World war, so we will let him tell his experience autobiographi-
cally: "I left my home at Concord, W. Va., July 22, 1918, for
training school at Richmond, Va., but on arriving there was in-
formed by the commanding officer that all service there was com-
batant. Being non-combatant I was transferred to the base
hospital at Camp Lee, Va., where I remained till the end of
August and was then assigned to Exceptional Medical Unit No. 42
and transferred to Camp Merritt, N. J. Sept. 3, we hiked to the
Hudson river and were ferried to Hoboken, N. J., where we went
aboard the transport 'Siboney' destined to carry us to France. As
the old ship moved slowly out of the harbor 4,500 of Uncle Sam-
uel's nephews looked back with longing eyes as long as land was
visible. To a great many it was their last look, but, thank God,
some of us were permitted to come back. The second day out we
ran into a storm and many of the boys were very sick, but since
I was sleeping on the deck I fared better than the rest. Sept. 13,
we landed at St. Nazaire, France, and a week later started for
classification camp at 'The See,' where we remained three weeks.
78 Spaid Genealogy
and being a new camp we had to hike three miles to mess the first
week and this sharpened our appetites. Oct. 28 our company was
divided and eight of us were sent to the 28th Division, which had
just been relieved from the Argonne Forest and was then on the
Theiacourt Sector, about fifteen miles from Metz and preparations
were making to take Metz. The Armistice was signed the day
before that set to open fii'e on the city. April 28, 1919, we loaded
on the transport Mongolia and twelve days later landed at Hobo-
ken and were sent to Camp Dix, N. J., for our discharge. The
28th Division paraded through the city of Philadelphia on the 15th
of May, and on the 21st we were handed our discharge papers and
took the first train for home, where loved ones were waiting our
return. All my traveling through France was in box-cars and our
berths were either dugouts or stables. My work as stretcher-
bearer would have been to carry the wounded to some ambulance
or first-aid station. I was in the 110th Ambulance Company, 103rd
Sanitary train, which hauled from the field hospitals back to base
hospitals. We were about five miles from the front lines when the
Armistice was signed." Aug. 28, 1919, Mr. Spaid married Grace
Pike and they are located on a farm at Eglan, W. Va. They have
no children.
(974) Ida S. Spaid (958) married Luther C. Stine Aug. 28, 1919.
Mr, Stine is a Hardy county boy and had just returned from service
overseas, and though he did not reach the front he was a close-
observer, and had a varied experience. But we will let him tell
his own story: "I was inducted into the military service of the
United States, March 5th, 1918, with twenty-four other boys from
Hardy county. All along the line we witnessed pathetic scenes of
parting, but as we increased in number we revived in spirit so that
those who saw us pass must have thought us a very happy bunch.
We made love signs to all the pretty girls and fun to those not so
well favored. We arrived at Lytle, Ga., on the 8th and on the 10th
were given our first vaccination and inoculation, followed a few
days later by two other shots of serum. After a short period of
intense drilling I was assigned to a company to form a hospital
train and was made cook, and after this did little drilling. After
five months in camp and a number of short moves we were trans-
ferred to Camp Stuart, Va., given our overseas equipment and on
Aug. 22 boarded the English S. S. Titan for Europe. We steamed
slowly up the coast, adding to our number until our fleet was com-
posed of fifteen ships, convoyed by a battleship, two torpedo boats
and two submarine chasers. Off the coast near Halifax we added
three Canadian transports and an admiralty ship, and now sailed in
a zigzag direction for England. Being the only medical man on
board our hospital train was placed in the infirmary and I was
made diet cook for the sick men, the diseases being mumps,
measles, tuberculosis and sea-sickness. For three days off the New
England coast we had a severe storm and many hearts beat fast,.
for it looked like our ship could not possibly climb those waves.
Our berths were hammocks swung to the ceiling of the boat and
Spaid Genealogy 79
they rocked like an oriole's nest in the wind. But this storm was
succeeded by sunshine and calmer sea and we sighted ten British
destroyers which had come out to escort us through the danger
zone. On Sept. 7th a signal told us that a submarine had been
sighted and I ran on deck just in time to see a torpedo hit the
closest boat of our convoy. It struck just above the water line
and near the center of the boat and seemed to lift that side of the
boat four feet out of the water. Twenty-five Chinamen were killed
in the coal bin. Immediately the airplanes were present and
would touch the water where they had seen the submarine, and
the destroyers followed directly and dropped depth bombs v/here
the airplane had touched the water. It was reported that they
got the 'sub' but I think it escaped without much harm. We were
told the torpedoed boat went to Queenstown and sank in the har-
bor. No Americans were lost. Sept. 9th we arrived in London
and went by rail to Southampton, and on the night of the 10th
crossed to Havre on the 'Maid of Orleans,' loaded with soldiers
packed like sardines, the passage as usual being very, very rough.
After a day here we boarded a train of freight cars with a capacity
of forty men or eight horses, but were so crowded that we were
compelled to tuck our feet under us that all might lie down. Ar-
rived at Beaune we were given very comfortable quarters. This
was a very beautiful valley and on a clear day we could see the
mountains of Switzerland. The cultivation of the grape to make
wine is the chief industry here. The people are veiy fond of wine,
always taking a bottle with their cold lunch, though they drink it
very slowly. The railroads of the country are fifty years behind
America, but the highways and cemeteries are far superior to
ours. The cemeteries are beautifully decorated with small beads
made into flowers. Some of these flowers cost as much as fifty or
sixty dollars, and there will be two or three pieces on each tomb.
The American soldiers' graves are marked with a plain white
cross, unless he was of the Jewish religion, in which case it is a
plain white slab. The farming in this section is very crude. I did
not see any good machinery. If they use two horses to one plow
they are hitched tandem. They broadcast the grain and reap the
harvest with cradle and sickle as in pioneer days in America. I
never saw a Frenchman using a four-wheel wagon, but always a
large two-wheel cart. I have seen them working four horses to
such a cart, but one horse is always hitched to the collar of the
othei'. In the small town of Beaune we saw a painting of 'Death
and the Resurrection' that some rich American had off'ered a half
million dollars for. This building had many old relics and beau-
tifully kept grounds. After two months' stay here we were
expecting to be called into active service when Germany signed
the Armistice. Everybody was happy and nearly all got drunk.
Those that did not were not permitted to stay in their cots till
after two o'clock. After the signing of the Armistice time hung
heavy on our hands, and all the camp gossip was about returning
home. Finally, on June 12th, 1919, we were transferred by rail
(freight cars) to Brest, where we remained fifteen days. While
80 Spaid Genealogy
here we visited the Old Caesar Chateau, which was built on the
shore of the Atlantic ocean by foui- different nations — Rome,
Spain, England and I'rance, and used by all as a penal institution.
The most ingenious cruelty was meted out to criminals here. Most
of the space was underground, very dark and damp. The pit of
execution was on a level with the Atlantic and the live body was
dropped a hundred and forty feet onto planted bayonets in the
cell below and left there for the tides to carry it off. In this same
place the French hid their gold during the Franco-German war of
1870. Generally speaking, there are just two classes in France —
the rich and the poor, or the respectful class and the class that
disregaixis everything that is well and good. The men are usually
indolent but kind hearted. The women are affectionate toward
their men, and all were kind to the American soldier unless he
caused them to be otherwise. On June 29th we boarded the Pre-
toria and left France for the good old U. S. A. We had better
sleeping quarters coming home, bunks instead of hammocks, but
close, unhealthy, and though the weather was fine there was some
sea-sickness and spinal meningitis. We amused ourselves with
moving pictures, wrestling matches, swimming pool, and games,
and arrived at New York on the 13th of July, was sent to Camp
Dix, N. J.., and discharged on the 19th, arriving home on the 20th.
Just one month later I entered matrimonial service with a Spaid."
Mr. and Mrs. Stine have no children.
(975) Charles F. Spaid (856), the youngest son of Joseph and
Elizabeth Spaid, was born and reared in Hampshire county. Dec.
13, 1877, he married Sarah A. Good, born in 1857 and died in 1903.
Mr. Spaid is a farmer and carpenter, and though rather old still
works at his trade. Since the death of his wife and the marriage
of his youngest daughter, Mr. Spaid lives most of the time with
his daughter, Mrs. Baker. Seven children were born of this union,
though three of the sons never married, nearly the only bachelor
Spaids we ever heard of:
(976) Lillie F. Spaid (983), Oct. 2, 1878-
(977) John Rilev Spaid. March 6, 1880- Unm.

(982) Ernest H. Spaid (989), June 28, 1899-
(983) Lillie F. Spaid (976) and Buzie C. Baker were married
April 1, 1903. They own the old Cale farm where the Great
Progenitor got his wife, have built a large house, put a pavilion
over the spring, and entertain summei' boarders. It is here that
Capon river has its finest ford, still known as Gale's foi*d, though
there is not a Cale in the countiy. The cemetery on this farm,
known as Gale's cemeteiy, has the oldest graves in the county,
though before Mr. Baker got the farm the cemetery was thrown
into the field and the cattle had knocked over and broken nearly
all the gravestones. It is doubtless here that Richard Spaid, the
Spaid Genealogy 81
only child of George and Elizabeth Spaid to die in childhood, was
buried, for the Christian cemetery was not started till 1823, long
enough after his death. Mr. Baker is an energetic business man
and Mrs. Baker a handsome and excellent woman. They have no
children.

(991) Margaret Spaid (18), the second daughter of John and
Hannah Spaid, was born at the old home farm in Hampshire
county, Nov. 23, 1814. She had the usual life of a pioneer girl
until she married, Feb. 16, 1834, the Rev. John Richards, a minister
of the Evangelical Lutheran church. Rev. Richards was the son
of Aquilla Richards, of Wales, and Elizabeth Sanks, of Baltimore,
Md., where he himself was born April 12, 1810. In his native city
he learned the fine-shoe trade, ladies' wear. Then, as he was
studying to enter the ministry, he went into Hardy county, Va.
(now West Virginia), and became their shoe "cobbler," no fine
work being wanted. It was while working here that he married
Margaret Spaid, but having prepared himself he now entered the
ministry. Theirs was the usual fate of the ministers of that early
date — small salaries and many removals, as may be seen by the
birth of the children, no two of them being born successively in the
same county. After the birth of six children this good mother
died and, April 15, 1846, Rev. Richards married, at Strasburg, Va.,
Anna Hazel, by whom he had six children, all of whom are now
dead but two. (See Richards Family, Chapter X.) Of the children
by the Spaid mother, Hannah and John died quite young, but Noah
A. died of lung trouble while attending college, and was therefore
quite a man grown, for he had taught school in Maryland and
Pennsylvania, and has left a journal that shows him to have been
a young man of great promise, and a ready versifier, as may be
seen by the short poem that we copy. Elizabeth Sanks Richards
died in Cotton Town, Shenandoah county (evidently at the home
of her son. Rev. Richards) in 1848, in her 62nd year. We are
■unable to give date or place of Rev. Richards' death, but after his
second marriage he removed to the west, several of his younger
82 Spaid Genealogy
children being- born in Iowa. The children of Rev. John and Mar-
garet (Spaid) Richards are as follows:
(992) Isaiah S. Richards (998), b. Nov. 15, 1834- died. Jan..

"Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Bright and yellow, hard and cold.
Molten, graven, hammered and rolled ;
Heavy to get and light to hold ;
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold.
Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled :
Spumed by the young, but hugged by the old,
To the very churchyard mold ;
Price of many a crime untold !
Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Good or bad a thousand fold!"

cal sketch was found among the effects left by the late Milton V.
Richards, of Washington City. The Richards record gives his
place of birth as Hampshire county, as does the journal of his
brother, Noah A. Richards.
"I was born in a log cabin in Hardy county, Nov. 15, 1834. My
father worked a few years, and having prepared himself entered
the ministry of the EvangeHcal Lutheran church. When my dear
mother died I was twelve years old, and my father afterward
married again. Miss Anna Hazel. At the age of 15 I went to the
Academy at Charlestown, Jefferson county, Va., and from there
to Gettysburg, where I remained in Penn's College three years,
leaving there on account of my health. From there I went to
Altoona, Penn., where I taught a select school in the basement of
the Lutheran church. My health not improving very rapidly, I
left there and returned to the Capon valley country, making my
home with the family of Valentine Seci'est, near Capon Springs,
teaching school and vocal music in that region of country.
"On the 1st day of July, 1856, I was married to Miss Jane

Isaiah S. Richards
Secrest, who has been the faithful wife and mother of my children.
She departed this life leaving me alone — as the children are all
married and pleasantly located in their respective homes. I have
plenty, and want for nothing. Prefer to remain in my office of
business where I have been for nearly forty years. Here I expect,
at this time, to make my home until my body is laid under the
sod where my loving and faithful wife's remains lie. I write
this merely as a reminiscence of the past." (Signed) Isaiah S.
Richards, Victor, Iowa, March 24, 1899.
A few years after marrying Mr. Richards and wife had removed
to Victor, Iowa, where he engaged in the real estate business for
the remainder of his life. He was a man of thought and had deep
influence on his home community. At the time of his death, Jan.
21, 1902, the Victor papers paid glowing tributes to his memory.
Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Richards :
(999) Milton Valentine Richards (1006), Jan. 24,
Sept. 8, 1918.
Nancy Belle Richards (1007), April 6, 1861-

(1006) Milton Valentine Richards (999), the oldest child and
only son of Isaiah and Jane (Secrest) Richards, was born at
Victor, Iowa, Jan. 24, 1859, and began his business career as a
bank employee at Algona, Iowa, where, on June 23, 1881, he
married Amy Chase Wellman, of Forest City, Iowa. That sarne
year he entered the land department of the Northern Pacific rail-
way at St. Paul, Minn., continuing there until 1888, when he was
84 Spaid Genealogy
called to Baltimore, Md., to organize the land and immigration
department of the B. & 0. railroad. In 1895 he moved to Washing-
ton City and organized the land and industrial department of the
Southern railway, and here he continued till his health failed. He
was a man of unusual ability, an expert along development lines.
The United States government sent him to Europe twice to study
rural credits and immigration problems.
Anna Chase Wellman, his wife, was bom at York, Penn., in
1856. She was a woman of great intellectual ability and a noble
Chi-istin character; prominent in the social, charitable and relig-
ious forces of Washington, and was for years a member of the
Woman's Board of Home Missions of the Presbyteriaii denomina-
tion. She died April 28, 1917, and was buried in the beautiful
Rock Creek cemetery, Washington. Mr. Richards never was well
after the wife's death. In the early summer of 1918 he went to
Atlantic City in the hope of regaining his health, but there he died
Sept. 8, 1918. His remains were brought back to Washington and
interred by the side of his beloved wife. He was highly respected
by all that knew him, and greatly beloved by the Richards and
Secrest families. Mr. and Mrs. Richards had no children.
(1007) Nancy B. Richards (1000), daughter of Isaiah and Jane
Richards, was born in Virginia, taken to Iowa when a little girl
and reared in Victor. Nov. 1, 1877, she married George Agnew,
and he engaged in the mercantile business in Central City, Neb.
He died May 3, 1921, but the widow continues to live in Central
City, which has been her home for thirty-five years. Three chil-
dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Agnew, as follows :
(1008) Eva Belle Agnew (1011), Sept. 19, 1878-
(1009) George Aretus Agnew (1013), Dec. 27, 1880-
(1010) Charles Leon Agnew (1016), June 9, 1886-
(1011) Eva B. Agnew (1008), only daughter of Nancy and
George Agnew, was born and reared in Central City, Neb. On
reaching womanhood she married Charles Claude McEndree, who
was born Jan. 29, 1872. They live in Central City, Neb., where
he is engaged in the banking business. One son has been bom to
Mr. and Mrs. McEndree:
(1012) Ted Agnew McEndree, Nov. 2, 1901-
(1013) George A. Agnew (1009), son of Nancy and George
Agnew, was born and reared in Central City, Neb. He married
Kate Lillian Barryman, who was boi'n July 20, 1880, and they
have their home in Central City, Neb., where Mr. Agnew is engaged
in the banking business. Two children have been bom to Mr. and
Mrs. Agnew:

(1015) Kathryn Belle Agnew, July 8, 1913-
(1016) Charles L. Agnew (1010), son of Nancy and George
Agnew, was born and reared in Central City, Neb. He married
Helen Hamblin, who was bom Sept. 7, 1887. They live in Idaho
Spaid Genealogy 85
Falls, Idaho, where Mr. Agiiew is engaged in the banking business.
Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Agnew:
(1017) George Hartwell Agnew, March 3, 1918-
(1018) Robert Crawford Agnew, May 23, 1921-
(1019) Mary Richards (1001), the daughter of Isaiah and Jane
Secrest Richards, was reared in Victor, Iowa. June 22, 1882, she
married Melvin T. Rowland, who was born in Maryland Aug. 16,
1860. For many years he was a merchant in Central City, Neb.,
but the lure of gold and the mountains was too great for him, so
after making a number of trips to Alaska and to Canada, the
family located about five years ago at Nampa, Idaho, where Mr.
Rowland is an economic geologise and mining engineer. Of the
four sons born to Mr. and Mrs. Rowland, Rex joined the army and
in 1916 was among the American troops sent to China for two
years' service. Army life was distasteful to him and the climate
did not agree with him. He died of brain fever in China Nov. 1,
1916, but later the remains were shipped back to the States and
interment made at Central City, Neb., Feb. 22, 1917. He was a
young man of high ideals and good principles. The sons in this
family were :
(1020) Merle Richards Rowland (1024), April 22, 1884-Dec.
4, 1912.
(1021) Everett Walter Rowland (1027), July 18, 1886-
(1022) Ralph Rex Rowland, b. Springview, Neb., Dec. 4,
1888-d. Nov. 15, 1916.
(1023) Harold Rowland (1028), Nov. 16, 1890-
(1024) Merle R. Rowland (1020) was the oldest son of Mary
and Melvin Rowland. He was a printer by trade, and after his
marriage in November, 1904, to Addie B. Cover, they located in
Adrian, Mich. Here his health failed and he traveled all over the
west, living a while at the foot of Mt. Whitney. But his health

is a cooper by trade and their home is in Berryville, Va. Four
children were born of this marriage: Margaret Asberine Farmer
and A. Caney Farmer, a farmer by occupation, are at the home.

(1263) Malinda Spaid (24), the seventh daughter and twelfth
child of John and Hannah Spaid, was born at the old home in
Hampshire county June 16, 1826. and had the usual experience
of a pioneer country girl — much work and but little amusement.
Feb. 4, 1847, she married Meredith Capper, a young and popular
school teacher, born in the same county, Nov. 20, 1820, and reared
under conditions similar to her own. For years he taught school
and conducted a country store at Highview, Va., but soon after the
Spaid Genealogy 99
close of the Civil war he removed to Winchester that his children
might have better school advantages, and engaged in business.
Being miable to perform the arduous duties of a soldier because of
indifferent health, Mr. Capper hired a substitute to represent him
in the Confederate army. As old age came upon him he associated
his sons with him in business and gradually shifted the burden of
business to younger shoulders, while he and his excellent wife
enjoyed a serene old age, beloved by their children and respected
by their neighbors. Mrs. Capper was an invalid for several years
before she died, June 28, 1897. Irene, the oldest daughter, con-
tinued to keep the home and care for the aged father till his death,
Dec. 8, 1904.
This worthy couple were the parents of ten children, four daugh-
ters and six sons. Five sons married and are still living; one son
died in boyhood ; though three of the daughters reached woman-
hood and two of them middle life, none of them married, but re-
mained at home with the parents, only one of them outliving the
father. Lydia Belle died in her twelfth year; Sarah Elizabeth in
her eighteenth year; Irene and Letitia were devoted to their par-
ents and were fine examples of southern womanhood. Their mem-
ories are cherished by the brothers and all the relatives. The
names with dates of the Capper children follow :
(1264) Irene Virginia Capper, Dec. 25, 1847-Sept. 25, 1909.

Meredith Capper, was born at the old Capper homestead in Fred-
erick county, Va., but when twenty-one years old went to make his
home in Winchester. For thirty years he was chief clerk and
cashier of the B. & 0. railway, only quitting that place to accept
that of bookkeeper with an ice and cold storage plant, where he is
still employed. Oct. 25, 1881, he married Ada Byron Lowe, an
excellent young lady, who was born April 5, 1858. Two children
were born to them, a daughter and a son, the latter dying in
infancy. The beloved wife died Sept. 9, 1909, and the daughter,
who was a great comfort to the father, lived hardly four years
longer. Mr. Capper wields a ready pen and frequently contrib-
utes to the local papers articles on pioneer subjects, with which his
mind is well stocked, or on the economic questions that interest the
city. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Capper:
(1275) Mary Allen Capper, July 28, 1882-Aug. 22, 1913.

they finally were divorced. Four children were born of this union.
Mary J. died in infancy; Nannetta died at her mother's home in

(1282) Ira Milton Capper (1278), only son of John W. and
Martha (Richards) Capper, was bom near Winchester, Va. When
about two years old he was taken by his parents to Victor, Iowa.
As a young boy he lived much of the time in the home of his uncle,
Milton Richards, first at St. Paul, and afterward at Baltimore,
Md. He attended the public schools, and later Cornell College,
Mt. Vernon, Iowa. When the Spanish-American war broke out he
enlisted and served with the 50th Iowa Infantry. In 1901 he went
to Alaska with an uncle, M. T. Rowland, and for some time worked
at the mining game. On returning to the States he was employed
by the International Harvester Company in their Chicago (offices.
In 1904 he was credit clerk for this organization at Cedar Falls,
Iowa. Aftei- remaining thei-e three years he went to Bismarck,
North Dakota, for the same concern and worked for three years
as assistant general agent. In 1910 ]\Ir. Capper entered the gen-
eral mercantile business at Baldwin, N. D., and operated this store
until the Autumn of 1917.
In 1918 he w^ent overseas with the Y. M. C. A. and sei'ved as
financial secretary. He had chai-ge of all monies on the front
during the Argonne campaign, and personally handled all cash
from twenty divisions. He was among the first Americans in

Harry W. Capper, the younger son of Walter and Henrietta
Cappei-, was a captain of artillery in the American Expeditionary
Force and saw much service in Europe in the World war. How
small this world has become is- well illustrated by the story we
heard from his people when in Virginia. Capt. Capper desired
to exchange his American money for German currency when in
that country and on calling at a Y. M. C. A. hut was told to go
upstairs to Secretary Capper's room. He did so, and on compar-
ing notes the two men found themselves to be first cousins, though
they had never met before nor been in cori-espondence with each
othei'. On returning from Europe Captain Capper attended a
school for engineers in Nevada, but has now returned to civil life
and is living in Philadelphia. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Wal-

CHAPTER III.
The Frederick Spaid Family.
(1365) Frederick Spaid (4), the second son of George N. and
Elizabeth Spaid, was born on the west bank of Capon river, Hamp-
shire county, Virginia, in 1785. He grew to manhood here leading
the life of the ordinary pioneer boy. This meant much hard work
in clearing the land and tilling crops amid roots and stumps. But
the forest was full of game, and the streams of fish, and since there
were few neat cattle in that day, the pioneer depended on hunting
and fishing to supply the table, in part, at least.
And the pioneer life was not without its enjoyments. In the
first place, everybody was on a social equality, so invitations to log-
rollings and corn-huskings were general. Everybody was sup-
posed to be there. The girls and women went to help cook, and when
the day's work was done the evening was spent in dancing and
singing. The worst drawback to the pioneer life was the lack of
educational facilities. But George Spaid had been educated in
Germany and knew the value of an education. It would seem that
all his children could read and write the American language, and
could speak, and possibly read, German — for that was the lan-
guage of the home. His son Frederick taught school for some
time.
May 5, 1905, Frederick Spaid married Margaret McVickers, who
was born May 18, 1789, and they settled on a farm a mile east of
Capon river, and began to clear out the land and make themselves
a home. They set about the task undaunted, for all young married
people were doing the same thing. Here six children were born
to them ; but little Maiy died in 1823 and was the first individual
to be buried in the Christian cemetery. Previous to this the only
cemetery near was on Cale's farm on the west bank of Capon
river and the unbridged river was often unfordable. A few years
later another grave was prepared in the Christian cemetery, for
the devoted wife and mother, after twenty-six years of toiling and
planning, had died Aug. 24, 1831. She had lived to see her oldest
daughter, Elizabeth, married to Philip Kline, and she had seen
two grandchildren before her death. Nancy was twenty years
old and she took the mother's place till the following year, when
the father married, May 22, 1832, Priscilla Capper, a sister of
Michael Capper, born May 11. 1794. Soon after this marriage,
Mr. Spaid moved his family to a farm on Timber Ridge where
the Highview postoffice was afterward established. Two daugh-
ters were born of this second marriage. The wife died Dec. 11,
1863, but the aged father lived eight years longer, dying Jan. 28,
1872, a little more than eighty-six years old. He was a hard
working man and was highly respected by all his neighbors.
This family has all passed on and has the remarkable record
of all being buried in the same cemetery — father, two wives, eight
108 Spaid Genealogy
children, beside a large number of more remote descendants. The
names of these children, with dates, are as follows:
First marriage:
(1366) Elizabeth Spaid (1374), March 22, 1809-Oct. 16,
1885.
(1367) Nancy Spaid (1519), Aug. 23, 1810-June 8, 1881.

(1369) Margaret Spaid (1683), Jan. 16, 1816-Jan. 28, 1892.
(1370) Mary Spaid. Sept. 17. 1820-Nov. 18, 1823.
(1371) Priscena Spaid (1800), Nov. 24, 1823-Aug. 27, 1861.
Second marriage :
(1372) Harriett Spaid (1837), Nov. 19, 1833-Oct. 5, 1890.

Part One.
(1374) Elizabeth Spaid (1366), the oldest daughter of Fred-
erick and Margaret (McVickers) Spaid, was boi-n at the old
home place about a mile east of Capon river in Hampshire county,
Virginia. She grew to womanhood here and married, Feb. 27,
1827, Philip Kline, an energetic young farmer, born and reared in
the same county. For a time they farmed in various places but
finally settled on the river farm long known as the "Kline farm"
and where their grandson, James Creswell. still resides. It has
been said that this was an ideal couple — generous to the poor,
hospitable to their friends, kindly to everybody. Four children
came to bless this union, and Louisa Spaid, a niece, was reared in
this home. Fanny, the youngest child, married Richard Johnson,
but died in a few months leaving no issue. The good parents died
many years ago. All the children are now dead, Lemuel being the
last to go.

(1378) Fanny Kline, born in 1843-died May 21. 1861.
(1379) Asa Cline (1375) changed the spelling of his name be-
cause he said it was easier for him to make a capital "C" than a
"K." He was the elder son of Elizabeth and Philip Kline, and
was born in Hampshire county and grew to manhood there. On
Jan. 3, 1849, he married Rebecca McKeever, born July 5, 1826, and
they settled down as farmers in the Capon river valley. When
the Civil war came on Mr. Cline served in the Confederate ariny.
Ten children had been born of this marriage when the good wife
died Oct. 17, 1881. June 29, 1882, he married Jemima Heishman,
a sister of Abraham Heishman, and they bought the Abraham
Secrest farm at Yellow Springs. W. Va., which the four youngest
sons now own and where they continue to reside. The second wife

hood, but finally settled on the Philip Kline farm, where Mr.
Creswell died April 18, 1878, leaving several minor children in the
home, but Charles and Philip were men grown and James was a
good sized lad, so by the good management of the mother and the
hard work of the boys, they got on nicely. Mr. Angus Spaid
writes of Charles as follows : "Charles was one of the best men
in the neighborhood, being a great lover of home, and upon the
death of his father he became the head of the family and was
honored as such by his brothers and sisters. As to his advice and
judgment, it was sought by the neighborhood in general. He is
held in the esteem of all who knew him." Philip was a talented
and physically strong young man. He taught school, worked on
the farm with Charles, and died of typhoid fever in his twenty-
fifth year. Albert died in infancy ; Anna and Fannie died in young
girlhood. James and Lydia never married but lived at home with
the mother, and since her death have continued to reside at the
old home. James is a good farmer but now takes life easy. Lydia
taught school for many years both in West Virginia and Okla-
homa. The widowed mother, who was idolized by her children
and respected by her neighbors, lived to the ripe old age of
seventy-eight years, dying in 1007. The thirteen children of this

accomplished violinist. He was probably the finest linguist the
Spaid family has produced, speaking several languages with
fluency. He was a man of great promise, and his untimely death
was felt to be a great loss to his church, and the periodicals of
that church all paid glowing tributes to Rev. Spaid's worth as a
man and ability as a preacher. He died in a Chicago hospital, June
8, 1893, of malignant diphtheria. His widow married Rev. Frank
O. Cunningham, a Baptist minister, and lives at Massena, N. Y.
Rev. Spaid left no issue.

the mother on the farm. During the season Blanche is house-
keeper in one of the large hotels at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Mamie

Spaid, and Mr. Davis. Believing in the future of the great West,
Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain migrated to Missouri about 1872, and
after a brief residence elsewhere, located on a farm near Odessa,
LaFayette county, where they still reside. Mr. Chambei'lain was
born in 1843 and his wife the following year. Because of the in-
firmities of age, their daughter May and her husband have tem-
porarily given up their law practice in Kansas City to take care
of them. Three children were boi'n to Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain,
as follows :
(1662) May Chamberlain (1665), born in 1873-
(1663) Lillie Virginia Chamberlain (1666), born in 1876-
(1664), George R. Chamberlain (1667), March 5, 1878-
(1665) Mary Chamberlain (1662), daughter of Fannie and Rob-
ert Chamberlain, was born and reared in Missoui'i. After com-
pleting the common schools she attended the Warrensburg Normal
and graduated from that institution. She taught school for a
number of years. In 1907 she married Kenny Osborne, an attor-
ney, and studied law herself. She was admitted to the bar and
has practiced in St. Louis and Kansas City, but has given up the
practice, temporarily, to take care of her aged parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Osborne have no children.
(1666) Lillie V. Chamberlain (1663), daughter of Fannie and
Robert Chamberlain, completed the public school course, attended
the Warrensburg Normal, studied music and has considei'able repu-
tation as a musician and teachei- of vocal and instrumental music.
In 1916 she married Strauder Tanner, a farmer, and they live
at Odessa, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. Tanner have no children.
(1667) George R. Chamberlain (1664), only son of Fannie and
Robert (i!hamberlain, was born in Missouri, educated in the public
schools, graduated from Odessa College, the Wan-ensburg Normal,

school eight years before completing his law studies, having been
principal of the Wallington schools three years and the Waverly
schools two years. After being admitted to pi"actice in the State
and Federal courts, he was employed in the legal department of
the Missouri Pacific railway for five years. In 1921 he set up for
the practice of law in Pleasant Hill, Mo., was elected mayor of
Pleasant Hill, and is now the prosceuting attorney of Cass county.
Mo. Mr. Chamberlain married, in 1911, Dean Hilligoss, who was
Spaid Genealogy 125
born near Pleasant Hill, Mo., Oct. 25, 1885. They have their

Mrs. Chamberlain, as follows:

(1669) Anna Martha Chamberlain, July 31, 1921-
(1670) Eliza A. V. Spaid (1595) and John Davis were married
Dec. 23, 1868. This was a double wedding, as her sister Fanny
was married on the same day to Robert Chamberlain. Mr. Davis
was born May 5, 1845, and died Feb. 10, 1910. Four children
were born to this union. The elder son, Franklin, is unmarried
and farms at Odessa, Mo.
(1671) Franklin Davis, May 2, 1870- Unm.
(1672) Fanny Davis (1675), Oct. 13, 1871-
(1673) Lillian Davis (1678), Jan. 1, 1882-November, 1913.
(1674) Benjamin Davis (1681), Feb. 16, 1886-
(1675) Fanny Davis (1672) and Howard N. Brill were married
June 2, 1897. Both were born and reared in Hampshire county.
They own a good farm in the Capon valley about two miles south
of Hooksmills, W. Va. Mr. Brill is a good citizen and his wife a
fine example of Spaid intelligence and decision of character. They
have two children, both still at home, the son assisting with the
farm work and the daughter attending a young ladies' boarding
school at Winchester, Va.
(1676) Leyburn R. Brill, born May 12, 1898- Unm.
(1677) Lacie Virginia Brill, March 10, 1903-
(1678) Lillian Davis (1673) and Harry Rudolph were married

mother died in November, 1913. Two daughters had been born

her home with her grandmother, Eliza Davis, in Winchester.

(1683) Margaret Spaid (1369), third daughter of Frederick and
Margaret (McVickers) Spaid, was born and reared in Hampshire
county. She had the usual life of the pioneer child. Sept. 20,
1832, she married David J. Garvin, born Oct. 14, 1810, and they
settled on a farm at Highview, Va. Here eleven children were
born to this worthy couple and we can believe they were given
superior training by the result obtained. They were a fine family.
George and Courtney, both fine specimens of manhood, were killed
in the Confederate army, the former in his twenty-fifth year and
the latter under twenty; William died at the home on reaching
126 Spaid Genealogy
manhood; Preston and INIartha died in childhood; Sarah Jane and
Cephas never married, but after the parents' death continued to
reside together till her death in 1915. Since the death of the sister.
Ida Arnold, a cousin, who had been with them for years, continues
as his housekeeper. Cephas is a rich farmer and business man
and though he has reached the Biblical age he looks like a much
younger man. A competent judge has called him the "prince of
school teachers," so that was evidently his calling in early life.
The devoted mother of this large family died in 1892, and the
admirable father followed her the next year, dying March 10,
1893. Names and dates of these children :
(1684) Mary C. Garvin (1695), Oct. 16, 1833-Oct. 5. 1919.

Like his father and so many of the Hook family, he was a miller
by trade. He was in the (Confederate service. Comparisons are
always odious, but I think I will hardly be censured for saying'
that no better men married into the Spaid family than those
named Hook. Six children were born to these excellent parents,
a daughtei- and five sons. All lived to marry and leave issue.
The father died Sept. 5, 1903, but the mother lived till 1919 and

(1849) Margery A. Spaid (1373), daughter of Frederick and
Priscilla Spaid, was born at the old homestead on Timber Ridge in
1834. On reaching womanhood she married, Dec. 4, 1851, Flavins
Josephus Sine, the oldest son of the large family of Elder Christy
Sine. He was born March 29, 1826. and at sixteen years of age
became an apprentice in Woodstock, Va., remaining there until he
was twenty-one years of age, having spent five years in learning
the leather art of harness and saddle manufacture. He excelled
in his line of industry, working at his trade for over sixty years.
Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Sine, six of whom are
living at the date of this sketch. Frederick died in childhood ;
Mary, a young girl ; and Edgar died in middle life. Quite a num-
ber of descendants have resulted from this parental head and they
are scattered over a number of states. A Sine reunion was held
in Hampshire county in 1911, and another is planned for Butler,
Ky., this year, 1922.
This good father passed to his reward Aug. 14, 1908, on the
birthday of his youngest son, and was laid to rest in the cemetery
at the Timber Ridge Christian church where his father had been
pastor many years before. He was a man of peace, industrious,
frugal, honest, and respected by the whole community. The faith-
ful wife went out to meet her husband six years later, June 20,
1914, at Rockenon Springs, Va. The end came very suddenly
while she was conversing with the family of her son Frank. She
was a devoted mother, painstaking in her training of the moral,
religious, educational, and social qualities of her children. Her
habits, like her husband's, were as regular as the sun, and her
children rise up today and call her blessed, for she is the perfect
fulfillment of the woman mentioned in Proverbs 31st. She was a
consecrated Christian and read her Bible to the last. She rests
beside her husband in the Christian cemetery where so many
members of her family lie buried, including her father and mother,
relatives and friends. The names of the Sine children with dates

he was in France and has given us the following brief account of
his services : "I enlisted in the army on July 9, 1917, and was
assigned to Co. 'B,' 112th Ammunition Ti-ain, 37th Division, but
was later transferred to Headquartei's company of the same unit.
We were on the water eighteen days going across, and engaged
with a German H-boat in the Irish Sea just two days out from
Liverpool, England. Our boat escaped injury but the boat on our
left was sti'uck by a torpedo. It did not sink because the torpedo
did not explode but two air compartments were torn out. Ten
minutes after the U-boat was sighted we had sunk it with all on
board. After arriving in France I served on the Metz, Marbache,
and Troyon sectors. When the Armistice was signed we were at
Ambly, eleven miles fi'om Verdun and nine miles from St. Mihiel.
I was fortunate enough to receive no wounds. For a time I was
on detached service with the 35th Division, and with the 2nd
French Colonial Corps. I was discharged April 18, 1919, with the
rank of corporal."

(1936) Rev. Arthur Dow Sine-Behrends (1931), the only son

esting account of his early life: "I was born at Pilot Point,
Texas, June 1, 1890. My mother died when I was 19 months old.
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Behrends, of Springfield, Ohio, took me to
raise, and adopted me when I was between five and six years old.
I stayed with them until I was 22 years of age. I attended Gray's
School for eight years, Wittenberg Academy for three years, Wit-
tenberg College for four years, receiving my degree of Bachelor of
Arts in 1912. Immdiately upon graduation from Wittenberg Col-
lege, I worked as a chemist in the Burt laboratory of the Oliver
Iron Mining Company, Hibbing, Minn., until the 12th of August,
1913, going from there to the Standard Chemical Company, Can-
onsburg. Pa., where I worked for five years, the last eight months
as chief chemist. I resigned my position May 25, 1918, to take
the position of chemist for the United States Signal Corps and
Ordnance Department, stationed at the Columbia Steel and Shaft-
ing Company, Carnegie, Pa., where I remained in the civilian
branch of the United States arniy until after the Armistice was
signed, or until April 15, 1919. I worked in the United States
War Saving service for two months.
"I was a member of the Calvary Lutheran Church, Springfield,
Ohio, for 11 years, transferring my membership to the Canons-
burg Central Presbyterian Church in 1914. I served as elder,
trustee, church treasurer, and other offices of the church at Can-
onsburg. Pa., for three years. I decided to enter the gospel
ministry in March, 1919, and was given a temporary license to
preach the gospel by the Pittsburgh Presbytery the same month.
I entered the Western Theological Seminary of Pittsburgh in Sep-
tember, 1919, but had to drop out at Christmas time on account of
my wife's health. After she died I could not enter seminary again,
and started to Mogollon, New Mexico, to do home mission work
for the summer, but after being in the hospital in Trinidad, Colo.,
for three weeks with double pneumonia, I had to come back
east and summered in Springfield, Ohio. I re-entered seminary
in September, 1920, and expect to graduate in May, 1923. I served
the Lincoln Presbyterian Church, Lincoln Place, Pa., for a year,
the Finleyville Presbyterian Church, Finleyville, Pa., for 18
months, and spent the summer of 1922 in the Blackfoot River
Valley, Potomac, Mont., as a home missionary. At the present
time, I have been appointed to serve as stated supply for six
Spaid Genealogy 141
months at Montour and Moon Run churches of the Pittsburgh
Presbytery, at the same time pursuing my studies in the senior
year of the seminary. I was permanently Hcensed by the Pitts-
burgh Presbytery Sept. 13. 1921."
Rev. Mr. Behrends married Delia Cain at Canonsburg, Pa.,
April 7, 1914, but the young wife died Feb. 25, 1920, leaving hirn
one son, who is now in the care of Mrs. William Simmons at
Library, Pa. :

He farmed and taught in public schools near the place of his
birth. He was educated in public schools and normal schools,
also Virginia Business College, Richmond, Va. By profession he
was a teacher, of which he made a success — mostly in normal
colleges and high schools. He specialized in mathematics and
did work for the American Mathematical Monthly. In 1918 he
gave up teaching and became cahier of the Capon Valley Bank,
Wardensville, W. Va., which position he still holds. He was one
of the organizers of this bank.

the subject of this sketch, was born at High View, Frederick
county, Va., on August 14, 1874. His parents were Flavins J. and
Margery A. Sine. He grew up on the farm, attending school
during the winters, and was very fortunate in having the oppor-
tunity to be directed in his early education by that prince of
teachers, C. N. Garvin. He united with the church of his parents
on Timber Ridge at the age of sixteen. At seventeen he began
teaching in the public schools of Frederick county. After two
years' service at Rockenon, he went to Loudon county and taught
in graded schools for three years, being principal of the Hamilton
school during his last year in the field of teaching. From
this time he was in Hii-am College, Ohio, preparing for the minis-
try. On completing his college course, he was called to the pastor-
ate of the Duluth, Minn., Church of Christ. Here he remained
over three years and was then chosen by the Church of Christ at
Charlottesville, Va., to lead them in their religious life.
Before leaving Duluth, on the same day, July 6, 1904, he was
Spaid Genealogy 143
united in marriage with Miss Ella H. Grieser, a principal of schools
of that city. From this union were born three children, the
youngest passing beyond in infancy. The two now living are
Edwin Randolph and Marjorie Louise. Edwin is in high school
and Marjorie in the fifth grade of the Tonawanda School, New
York.
While at Charlottesville, he completed the work at the Univer-
sity of Virginia for the Master's degree and received his diploma
in 1908. He also carries the A. B. and B. S. degrees. In the
fall of 1908, he took up the work of the First Church of Christ,
Hamilton, Ohio, where he remained thirteen years, the longest
pastorate in the history of the church. While here he received
nearly a thousand into membership and conducted meetings during
vacations with more than 150 additions. While in Hamilton, he
served the community in various ways, being president at times
of the Ministerial Association, Helping Hand Society, a speaker
for the war drives, president of the State Christian Endeavor
Union for two years, a member of the state board of the Disciples
of Christ, and serving in many other capacities. He is a life
director of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society. On Sept.
1, 1921, he assumed the pastorate of the First Church of Christ,
Tonawanda, N. Y. This church is now entering upon a campaign
to erect a modern church plant that will call for an expenditure
of $100,000.

CHAPTER IV.
The Secrest Family.
(1957) Elizabeth Spaid (5), the oldest daughter of George and
Elizabeth Spaid, was born in Hampshire county in 1790. Dec. 20,
1909, she married Henry Secrest, a son of Frederick and Catherine
Secrest, born in the same county, Aug. 18, 1785. Like so many
people of that early day, they heard the call of the west, so after
a few years of farming in their native county they migrated to
Ohio in 1819 and settled on a farm adjoining his brother, John
Secrest, and on the latter's farm the village of Buffalo was after-
ward built. When the native forest was cleared away and the
lowland drained this made an excellent farm and from that day
to this has never been out of the family, George M. Secrest, the
present owner, being a grandson of the original settlers. Two
sons were born to them in Virginia and six sons and a daughter
were born on this home place at Buffalo. The daughter had a
lover to whom her brothers objected, so she never married, though
she lived to be quite old. She knew the home life of more Spaids,
visited in their families, and was always welcome, than any other
person. She was no gossip but a good Christian woman. Mathias
was a fine young man but on reaching manhood had indifferent
health, never married, and died in his twenty-ninth year. The
remaining seven sons married and many of them left many
descendants. William was the last of the family to die (1913).
"Uncle Henry" was a good steady man and good citizen. He died
Oct. 23, 1851, leaving his family well provided for, the older sons
on farms of their own and the three youngest sons and the daugh-
ter at home with the mother in primitive comfort. A few years
before the war Aunt Betsey, as she was called, and her oldest son
and his wife, Uncle Bill Spaid, and Aunt Nancy Frye and her
daughter, Margaret Jane, all made a visit to their relatives in
Virginia. It goes without saying that they had a good time. It
was much like a reunion, for John, Fred and Christina were then
living, so six of the eight children were together, and it proved to
be for the last time. Aunt Betsey was a woman of good prin-
ciples, a home-making woman, much beloved by her people and
respected by everybody. She died May 22, 1862, and is buried by
the side of her husband in the Buffalo cemetery. Their nine
children :
(1958) John Secrest (1967), Jan. 3, 1811-Jan. 29, 1883.
(1959) Abraham Secrest (2111), Jan. 26, 1817-July 11, 1890.

Part One.
(1967) John Secrest (1958) was born in Virginia, brought when
a lad to the forests of Ohio, where he was reared under primitive
conditions. On the twenty-second anniversary of his birth he
married Ehzabeth Clark, a daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ann
(Gregory) Clark, an excellent family that had moved from Penn-
sylvnia and lived neighbors to the Secrests. They located on a
farm just to the north of the father's home and at that time adjoin-
ing the home farm. Here they lived all their lives, and after their
death their son Noah continued to live here till his death in 1917,
and a grandson, Ernest Secrest, now owns the farm. Nine chil-
dren were born to these good parents, but John, Jr., died in in-
fancy; Mary, when a little girl ; Michael, a lad of sixteen ; Ebenezer
Finley, a young man of great promise, was attending college,
pared a corn and blood poison resulted, causing his death in his
twenty-first vear. The mother of this family was born May 17,

ville, Ohio, about four miles east of the old home. After the
wife's death Mr. Secrest never remarried but his daughter, Mary,
assumed the place of a mother to the younger children. While
the father was living Luther, Elsworth, Charles and Clyde had
located m Colorado, and after the father's death Alice and Mary
joined them there, so that now all the living members of this family
are in or near Denver.
Luther Clai-k Secrest has never married. He went to Iowa
when a young man and after two years returned to Ohio and
was associated with his brother William in the farming business.
In 1888 he went to Colorado, where he and his brother Elsworth
engaged in farming and the cattle business under the firm name of

fervor of the Glarks. Only she and Dr. John S. Secrest remain
of Frederick Secrest's large family. Two children were born to
Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams:
(2367) Glara Louise McWilliams (2369), Nov. 12, 1885-

(2369) Glara Louise McWilliams (2367) was born and reared in

bom in Pleasant Gity, Ohio, in 1883. He is a graduate of the
Medical Department of the Ohio State University, served in a
medical unit overseas during the World war, and sends us the
following brief synopsis of his service :
"I was examined for a commission in July, 1917, received the
same in August, but for some I'eason was not ordered to report at
camp till in February, 1918. On March 4, I reported at Gamp
Greenleaf, Georgia, and remained there until May 30, all the
while training hard. I was then transferred to Gamp Mills, New
York, and on the 8th of June we were ordered to board the
'Aquitania.' We surely did make some speed going across. The
first two days we zigzagged, then for two days we sailed straight^
then we zigzagged again for two days and reached Liverpool.
From Liverpool we were taken across England to Southampton,.
where we remained a day and a half and were then shipped
across the Ghannel in an English boat to LaHavre, France.
"From Havre I was sent to Jevre, by way of Bloise. This was
an intermediate depot for all kinds of supplies for hospitals and
for the wounded on the fields. Here I remained about sixty days
working very haixl, for I had several men under me and the
responsibility of the position was great. But I had plenty to eat
and a good place to sleep. I was now transferred to the 77th
Division and in going to my new place passed through Paris, which
is certainly a fine city, but at that time they were keeping it
darkened, so it was a bad place to get lost in. for an American met
so few that could understand English and direct him on his way.
At Paris I saw 'Big Bertha,' the big gun the Allies had captured
from the Germans.
"I left Paris in the evening and traveled all night, but when I
woke in the morning we were in the war-torn section, for the
ground was full of holes about three feet across and a foot and a
half deep, and the buildings were in ruins. Presently the train
Spaid Genealogy 175
stopped and I could hear a thunder-like noise which they told me
was our own guns shelling a German position. I accompanied a
train of trucks loaded with provisions for some time, and was
then directed how to continue on to the headquarters of the 77th
Division. I finally reached the medical headquarters of the 77th
and was given orders to proceed to the front on an ambulance,
but was stopped by a captain who asked me where was my cap
and helmet. I told him I had none, and he ordered me to go up
on the hillside and get one that had been discarded by some
wounded soldier, for he said that I could not go to the front without
a cap and helmet. I had thought I had traveled fast in an auto,
but the way that driver made that Ford ambulance spin when we
came to an open place in the woods was something awful. I began
to think that I would as lief be hit with a shell as to be upset. and
killed by that ambulance.
"Finally I reached headquarters of the 306th Regiment, Infan-
try, to which I had been assigned, only to find that they were
moving back the same evening for a week's rest. By that time I
had become accustomed to the noise of exploding shells and big
guns and we were ordered back to the front. I was on the front
from Sept. 1 till the Armistice was signed with the exception of
two weeks.
"One experience in the Argonne Forest I shall always remember.
The Americans charged the enemy about a mile away, when the
machine-gun bullets began to rattle through the tree-tops and the
big guns to drop the shells around near us and it looked dangerous
indeed, I was called out to help with the wounded, which were
coming in faster than they could be cared for. I found about a
dozen boys lying on stretchers, all wanting to get back to a
hospital, but there was no ambulance to take them. The captain
said he would go back and see why none were showing up. All
the time he was absent the boys kept begging me to take them
back to a hospital, saying they would die if they had not instant
attention. That was true, for some of them were badly hurt.
How harrowing it v/as to remain with those boys dying for the
want of attention and yet be able to do nothing! Finally the
captain returned and said the mules of the ambulance had been
killed by a shell, but that some ambulance boys would come to
carry the boys back. He said he had a big day's work for the
next day and asked me to remain with the boys till they were
removed, which I did. After they were all removed I tried to
find my dugout, but being unable to find it lay down to sleep on
the ground. I had hardly gotten asleep till I was awakened by
an army mule nearly stepping on me. Later I found a block
house and slept for some time, and then rose and helped to give
first aid to the injured boys. Some were hurt badly and some
not so bad. I saw some with both arms and both legs broken,
others with injuries about the face and body.
"I think my own experience at the front would make a book.
I have marched until I could hardly drag one foot after another
and saw all kinds of injuries. Two or three times I thought the
176 Spaid Genealogy
next shell would be the one that would get me, but I got through
without a scratch or a bit of gas. It was a very common sight to
go along the road and see boys lying dead. I helped many boys
that got shot up, and when our regiment disbanded I was one of
the oldest doctors in the organization, for after being assigned to
the 306th Infantry, 77th Division, a New York City unit, I was
never transferred to anothei' oi-ganization."
Dr. Kackley and family now live in Adena, Ohio, where he is
building up a fine practice. They have one son :
(2370) John McWilliams Kackley, Jan. 26, 1916-
(2371) William Frederick McWilliams (2368) was bom and
reared in Noble county. He married, June 24, 1915, Catherine
Rich, also born in Noble county, Sept. 18, 1888. He is a young
business man of Caldwell. Ohio, in w^hich city they have their
home. They have one son :

Part Six.
(2373) William Secrest (1964), the seventh son of Heniy and
Elizabeth (Spaid) Secrest, was born and reared to manhood at
Buffalo, Ohio. He was the best educated member of this family
and was a most efficient teacher. Many of his note books remain
to attest the care and neatness of his workmanship. Many of the
older people that attended his school when young testify to his
ability as a teacher. In 1854 he married Mary C. Buckey, who was
born in Noble county in 1834. His father being dead, William
and his wife located on the home farm with his mother, and a
few years later purchased the rights of the other heirs and made
that his home all his life. Mrs. Secrest was a gentle, quiet woman
who gave her life to her husband, her children and her home. All
that knew her, loved her. After marrying, Mr. Secrest gave up
teaching and gave all his time to the farm, which he made one of
the best in Valley township. He was a good citizen, always
interested in civic affairs and the services of his church, the
Lutheran. This good mother was called to her reward in 1904,
and the father passed the remainder of his life in the home of
his son, George, who lived on the home farm. He was the last of
Aunt Betsey Secrest's family to go, dying in 1913. In the last
yeai's of his life he was totally blind. Seven children were born to
this worthy couple but all are now dead except the two youngest
sons:
(2374) NoMh Elwood Secrest (2381), June 9, 1855-Dec. 22, 1921.
(2375) Ahndiam Lewis Secrest (2389), born in J856-died in 1915.

(2381) Noah Elwood Secrest (2374) was born and reared at
Buffalo, Ohio. Nov. 13, 1879, he married Rose Jackson, the oldest
daughter of Samuel and Virginia (Trott) Jackson, who was born
at Pleasant City, Ohio, June 9, 1859. For many years they lived
on his father's home place, then they bought the adjoining farm
and moved onto it, and here they resided till his death Dec. 22,
1921. Noah was a good man. No one ever doubted his word or
questioned his motives. He was a Democrat and did not seek
office, but that Republican township elected him road supervisor
all the time. The reason he made good roads is very plain. He
had good judgment and he woi-ked on the road just like he worked
on his own farm. Most people loaf on a public job. Mrs. Secrest
is a good woman, devoted to her family and home. Four children
were born to them, as follows :

E. and Rose (Jackson) Secrest, was born and reared near Buffalo,
attended the public schools and Muskingum College, taught school,
is a brilliant pianist. In April, 1922, she married Howard Mc-
Laughlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen McLaughlin, of Buffalo, a
student of Ohio State University, Columbus.
(2389) A. Lewis Secrest (2375) was born and reared at Buffalo.
He married Mahala Archer, of Sarahsville. Lewis was a carpen-
ter and they made their home in Senecaville, Ohio. He died very
suddenly in 1915, and the wife had preceded him in death. One
daughter was born to them :
(2390) Gertrude Secrest (2391)
(2391) Gertrude Secrest (2390) was born and reared at Seneca-
ville, Ohio, and married Thompson Kahoe, also of Senecaville.
They live in West Jefferson, Ohio, where he has a cleaning estab-
lishment. They have two children :

(.2393) Larry Kahoe
(2394) Violet Laura Secrest (2376) was born and reared at
Buffalo. She married Oliver Hawes and for some years they lived
on a farm north of Pleasant City. Later they moved to Pleasant
City and Oliver was mail carrier for years. He is an extensive
property owner there. Mrs. Hawes was devoted to her church
and was a very fine woman. She died in 1909. They had no
children.

Buffalo. Aug. 10, 1892, she married Charles Scott, a farmer, born
May 21, 1857, and they made their home on the Scott farm three
miles north of Pleasant City, on the Cambridge road. Five chil-
dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Scott, two dying in infancy. Carl,
the youngest son, is unmai'ried. He is a bookkeeper in the Pleas-
ant City Bank. During ihe World war he was overseas and saw
much service in Europe, being a member of Co. "D," 308th En-

1917 and the following year when the flu became epidemic Waite
sickened and died. He had married, Oct. 17, 1914, Pearl Cham-
bers, of Oklahoma, born Sept. 26, 1898. She took the remains
back to Buff"alo for interment and remained with his parents for
some time. Here the second daughter was born two months after

George Hellyer Mary Hellyer
CHAPTER V.
The Hellyer Family.
(2436) Mary Spaid (6), always known in her lifetime as "Aunt
Polly," was the second daughter of the Great Progenitor and Eliza-
beth (Cale) Spaid, and was born at the old homestead in Hamp-
shire county Dec. 6, 1792. It is not difficult to recast the past of
any pioneer child, for they were all very similar. It was a life
of toil ; but everybody worked. Housekeeping was reduced to a
minimum, and was the lesser part of a woman's work. To spin,
to make the clothes for the household, to make soap from wood
ashes, to cultivate the garden, to gather brush in the "clearing," to
gather chips or even cut the wood for cooking purposes, made up
her day's work rather than the mere preparation of food. Under
such conditions was Aunt Polly reared, and it was well since she
was to marry George Hellyer and migrate to Ohio where they
would have to clear off the land and make a farm in the virgin
forest, and furthermore, she was destined to be the mother of
twelve children, all of whom lived to reach middle life or even
old age.
The Hellyer family is divided as to the origin of their ancestor.
Half of them think he came to America from England ; the other
182 Spaid Genealogy
half say from Ireland. The fact of the matter is that pictures
of Uncle George show him to have looked like a Scotchman, or
possibly Scotch-Irish ; and the name more resembles Scotch than
either English or Irish. But since we never met with that name
in I'eading history or biogi-aphy, and nevei- knew any persons of
that name save the descendants of George and his brother (There
are many Hellyers in Noble county, Ohio, and Muncie, Ind., de-
scended from his brothei'.) it is well for us not to take sides in
the controversy.
We have heard a tradition that he inhei'ited a noble estate in
England and much money which he left in charge of his mother
while he should make a tour of Europe. That on his return home
his mother refused to restore him his pati'imony, and that in great
wrath he told her she should never look upon his face again, and
that he straightway came to Amei'ica. But tradition unsupported
by facts is not worth much to the writer of history. It is unnat-
ural for a mother to act that way. If he inherited the estate he
could have dispossessed her by process of law. Beside, he had
a brother in America, for the Hellyers in Guernsey and Noble
counties still regard each other as cousins.
The essential part is that he came to Amei'ica and fought in the
war of 1812. And there can be no doubt that he hated England
with an intense hatred, hated her far more than any member of
the Spaid family. Let us repeat a story we have heard from a
dozen different men. At the outbreak of the Civil war Uncle
George and his son-in-law, Jacob Dudley, with half a hundred
neighbors, were in Cambridge to hear an address by John Bing-
ham, an orator and politician of no mean ability. The address
was delievered from a small platform built against the court house
which stood where the present fine structure stands. In his
address Bingham certainly did give England unmerited credit for
being a friend of America. "That's a lie," yelled Uncle George
in stentorian tones. The interruption "i-attled" Bingham so that
he forgot his address and was some time regaining his composure
and getting started again. Pretty soon, "That's another
lie," yelled the intrepid old man. (You must remember that in
1860 Uncle George was 73 yccirs old.) A goodly number of sol-
diers were present and of course it would not do to have a public
meeting interrupted, so a squad was sent to arrest him. The
white-haired old man squared himself against the court house and
said to the first that approached, "You insolent puppy. I w^as
fighting for this country before you were kittened," and straight-
way knocked him down. Six other soldiers were felled in (piick
succession, and the eighth ran away. The meeting was in fair
way of being broken up, and the sheriff was deputizing help to
take him, but Harrison Secrest and other neighbors told the
sheriff" they would take charge of him and not to arrest him.
That closed the incident, for he went with the younger men, rather
unwillingly, away from the meeting, and was soon after persuaded
to start for home.
Before telling of Uncle George's prowess in the above para-
Spaid Genealogy 183
graph, we should have mentioned that when young he had been
trained as a wrestler and athlete (Prize fighting was then un-
known.), and to the day of his death he was never known to have
been whipped. That is certainly some record, some enviable
record. Another point in the story is that the old gentleman had
taken too much whiskey. Before the war in southeastern Ohio
every farmer made his own whiskey and drank it, too. And it
was undoubtedly good whiskey, but once in a while Uncle George
would take too much, which was rather unusual in that day. But
the point we wish to make is that, whiskey or no whiskey, George
Hellyer was never whipped. Thc\t he was a high-class man who
never lied or equivocated. He could be mistaken, but he was
absolutely fearless in advocating what he thought to be the truth.
Another thing we wish to tell about Uncle George is his religion.
Somewhere, probably in the east, he had accepted the doctrines of
Alexander Campbell. Now the four Spaid families in Ohio and
nearly all the rest of his neighbors in that day, were Lutherans.
He regarded them all as heretics and did not hesitate to say so.
He helped to found a Christian church known as "Harmony," still
in existence, about seven miles from his home, and here he retained
his membership till his death, though in his latter years there were
ten churches of other denominations closer to his home. In religion
he was a Christian ; in politics, a Democrat ; and he was pugnacious
about both. Few of his descendants accept his brand of religion,
but practically all retain his political creed.
Uncle George was a tailor by trade and was said to have been
an expert with both scissors and needle. It seems almost amusing
to think of a fahionable tailor locating in the woods of Ohio where
nearly everybody wore homespun, and the mothers or wives made
the clothes. But we have old daguerreotypes taken in the 40's
of some of the young swells of that day, who certainly had on
clothes made by Uncle George. Material and workmanship would
put to shame most of the clothes we see today.
But this was supposed to be a sketch of Aunt Polly. Well, old-
timers have told us that she was the best looking of the Spaid
girls, and the picture shows that he retained her good looks as
long as she lived. The writer knew personally about half of her
ninety-one grandchildren and they all unite in saying she was
the best of grandmothers. Both lived to a good old age and were
respected by their neighbors and beloved by their own people.
Uncle George was born Oct. 22, 1787, and died near Buffalo Oct.
12. 1865. After his death the McElwee family moved onto the
farm to care for her mother, who lived about five years longer,
dying April 6, 1870. Both are buried at Mt. Zion and have modest
but elegant gravestones. The Hellyer Bible with the family record
in it is in possession of their grandson, John Hellyer, of Logans-
port, Ind., and is being well taken care of. Of the twelve children
of this family all lived to marry except Robert, the youngest son,
who died in his forty-second year. He was a giant in stature and
is said to have traveled with a side-show at various times. He
died at his sister' home in Hartford City, Ind., and had the

Part One.
(2449) Mai-gai-et Hellyer (2437), the oldest daughter of George
and Mary Hellyer, was boni in Jefferson county, Ohio, near Steu-
benville, where the family had encamped on their way from Vir-
ginia to Ohio. It seems that after marrying, her parents had gone
to Pennsylvania for a short time and hearing the call of the great
west they came in by the northern route instead of through Wheel-
ing as the Virginians usually came. Some time after her birth
the family removed to Guernsey county, where the I'emainder of
her life was spent. (The northern half of Noble county was then
a pail of Guernsey.) Here she married, Sept. 5. 1837, Caspar
Larrick, a son of Frederick and Elizabeth (Secrest) Larrick, who
was born in Frederick county, Va., Feb. 11, 1811. He was a most
efficient school teacher and had taught in Virginia before coming
to Ohio. They lived on a farm in Buffalo township, and here the
mother died of cancer in 1876. After her death the father made
his home with his son Noah. He died Dec. 24, 1893, and both
parents are interred in the Mt. Zion cemetery. Mr. Larrick was
a very well-read man for his time and was unusually familiar with
the Scriptures, being able to quote great passages from them. The
mother was a fine type of woman, devoted to her children, her
home and her church. Seven children were born to them, the
oldest daughter, Mary E.. dying unmarried when twenty-seven
years old. She was greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends and

(2457) George F. Larrick (2450) was born and reared in Noble
county. When the Civil war came on he enlisted as a private in
Co. B, 97th Regiment, 0. V. I., Aug. 1, 1862, under Captain
Hunter and Col. J. F. Lane, and participated in the following
battles : Perryville, Stone River, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge,
Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Adairsville, Kenesaw Moun-
tain, New Hope Church, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Jonesboro,
Lovejoy, Spring-Hill, Franklin, and Nashville. He served as
orderly for Gen. Crittenden for eleven months. He was in action
under fire for two hundred and twenty days, and at Missionary
Ridge was wounded in the side and hip by a bursting shell; was
among the missing and reported dead next day. He was honor-
ably discharged June 10, 1865.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1868, he married Margaret Blair, who
was born near Cambridge, Ohio, Feb. 21, 1849, and they settled
on a farm in Center township, Guernsey county, where they lived
till his death July 4, 1921. He was a progressive farmer and
good citizen, and the wife is a strong-minded woman of good
principles ; both enjoyed the respect of all their neighbors. Eight
children were born to this worthy couple; all married except
Ellis, the youngest son, who lives at the old home place with his
mother.
The following is a condensed record of Ellis Blair Larrick's
services in the World war, for, as he tritely remarks, "the entire
record of the 308th Engineers would make a book in itself" : "Oct.
4, 1917, I went to Camp Sherman and was assigned to the 308th
Engineers, Co. E, 81st Division. Here we trained for overseas
until May 24, 1918, when we were transferred to Camp Merritt
and on June 3rd boarded the transport 'Khyber' for Liverpool,
which we reached on the 16th. We crossed England to South-
ampton and on the 28th crossed the channel to Havre, France.
After a brief stay at Gievres, and a month of bridge schooling
at Langres, our regiment was attached to the Third Army Corps.
From Langres we were sent to Noisy-le-sec (a suburb of Paris),
then detrained at Mezy on the Marne river. We marched from
there to the front and relieved engineers at Fismes. We com-
pleted bridges across the Aisne river under heavy bombardment
during the Oise-Aisne offensive. Relieved by the French, we
were transferred to the Argonne sector and took part in the
Meuse-Argonne offensive which lasted from Sept. 26 to Nov. 11.
We built a bridge across the Meuse river Nov. 5, under heavy
shell fire and bombing from attacking airships at Dun. Nov. 16
we left Dun and marched 500 miles through Luxemburg into
Germany, crossing the frontier on Dec. 2, and the Rhine at Urmitz
on the 14th. Stationed at Neuweid on the Rhine; did guard
duty ; built Y. M. C. A. building 120x60 feet. We built a pontoon
bridge across the Rhine (first to be built by American troops) in
two hours and twenty minutes. Left Germany May 26th, 1919,
via Moselle river through Alsace-Lorraine to Sable, France; went
to St. Nazaire. Left there June 28 on the 'Zeelandia' for Charles-
186 Spaid Genealogy
ton, S. C. On landing we went to Camp Jackson and from there
to Camp Sherman, where I was discharged July 8, 1919."
The children of the Larrick family:
(2458) Mary Elizabeth Larrick (2466), Oct. 31, 1869-Janu-
ary, 1904.
(2459) Martha Margaret Larrick (2468), Nov. 10, 1871-

(2464) Eva Jcanette Larrick (2498), Nov. 17, 1888-
(2465) Ellis Blair Larrick, Aug. 11, 1895-
(2466) Mary Elizabeth Larrick (2458) married W. A. Mc-
Conaughey, March 25, 1903, but died the following January,
leaving an infant daughter who now lives with her father in
Columbus, Ohio.
(2467) Margaret Theresa McConaughey, Jan. 7, 1904-
(2468) Mai-tha Margaret Larrick (2459), daughter of George
and Margaret Larrick, was born and reared near Cambridge,
Ohio. Jan. 1, 1895, she married Ernest S. Allen, and after some
years they removed to Minnesota and are now farming near
Beardsley. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Allen, a
daughter and two sons, all still at the home. Both boys were in
the World war, Glenn in the Thirty-second Division, in Co. "H"
of the 126th Regiment, Infantry. He saw much service in Europe
and writes very interestingly of his experience :
"I enlisted in the National Guards at Sidney, Mont., and was
inducted into the army April 2, 1917, and was sent to Fort William
Henry Harrison for training, but was soon after sent to guard
railway bridges at Collins, Mont. After a short stay here I was
sent to Camp Mills, New York, for further training and w^as soon
shipped out to France by way of England, where we did guard
duty at a hospital for a short time. We were shipped across the
English channel in a stock boat which made every man of us
sick ; however, the voyage lasted only a few hours.
"On arriving in France we were not long in getting into the
thick of things, for we arrived at Alsace on May 5, 1918. This
was rathei" a quiet sector, oi- was supposed to be, for there was
not much fighting done there outside of a few raiding parties, etc.,
all of which I took part in. German artillery shelled our dugout,
but as they did not have the right range, the only thing they did
was scare us a little. We were relieved by the French July 21,
1918, and went up on the Aisne-Marne sector, where we got into
some real fighting. We drove the Germans nine miles across the
York river and up as far as the Vesle river close to Fismes, a
small town. We lost so many men in this engagement that our
company was cut down to a hundred and seventy-five men, but I
was lucky enough not to be one of the casuals, although as we
were coming up to take over this sector the shells were flying
Spaid Genealogy 187
thick and fast and I was struck twice but not hard enough to get
out of the game.
"We were relieved by the 77th Division and taken to the Oise-
Aisne sector, where we were relieved by the French at 12 o'clock
at night, Aug. 7, 1918. The zero hour was set for 7 a. m., and
that morning I never advanced under such heavy shell-fire at any
time all that summer. It was surely terrific. Our company took
a hundred and fifty prisoners that morning before we had gone a
hundred rods. I was shot that morning, the bullet passing
through my cheek and coming out at the back of my neck. But
as luck was with me I got to a hospital in Paris, the first taken
over by the Americans. I was reported 'seriously wounded' and
'dead,' but was transferred to so many places that my folks never
heard from me, so of course they thought I had 'gone west.' I
recovered and went back to the front before the Armistice was
signed but was not well enough for duty and was oixlered back to
the hospital.
"Only a little less terrible than the trenches was the return trip
of our company to the United States in a worthless old 'tub' after
the signing of the Armistice. The colonel of our regiment had
protested at both Army and Navy headquarters that the transport
'Luckenbach' was not properly equipped for the sea voyage, so
after the ship had been held forty-five minutes after the scheduled
sailing time, a load of supplies arrived and we started for home.
We were not out of the harbor until it was discovered that the
drinking water was not fit for use. The tanks had been filled
with fresh water, but apparently the tanks had not been cleaned
for some time and the water was so filled with rust and slime that
the men could not drink it. A part was drained off and made to
last the voyage, but no one had enough. We were scarcely out
of the harbor when the ship ran into a violent storm and pitched
and tossed about so rapidly that all the men were violently sea-
sick. The storm lasted eight hours, and during the storm one of
the engines had broken down. This meant that we either had to
return to port for repairs, in which case all the men would be
kept on board while the repairs were made, or cross the ocean
with one propeller. No one wanted to turn back, so we crept
through the rolling sea at the rate of eight knots an hour.
"But the worst disaster was yet to come. Down in the bowels
of the ship the men occupied bunks built in stacks of eight, shelf
fashion, and all supported by two-inch pipes reaching from floor
to ceiling. The men were all in their bunks, most of them so sea-
sick that they prayed to die. The floor was covered with the
spew of these sea-sick men. Suddenly, with a terrible tearing
sound, just as the ship gave an exceptionally heavy lurch, the
supporting pieces of more than 700 bunks were torn loose from
the ceiling and as the ship heaved in its eff"ort to right itself the
occupants of the bunks were thrown to the floor and the crumpled
bunks came tumbling down upon them. It was a terrifying spec-
tacle. Here was a half acre of twisted debris, and under it, in
it, and on top of it were 700 men, weak with sickness, writhing
188 Spaid Genealogy
feebly as they tried to free themselves and giving- vent to all man-
ner of cries in their misery and bewilderment. ^ But for the fact
that the bunks were heavily wadded with blankets hundreds of
the men would have been killed. Hundreds were feai-fully bruised
but only four suffered broken bones. The hold was dimfy lighted
by a few incandescents but the colonel and surgeon immediatelv
got busy and soon brought oi'der out of chaos. The captain of the
ship said he would accept an order from our colonel to turn back,
but the colonel decided he would put it up to the boys, which he
did in the morning. But the boys all shouted, 'No, go on ; it's hell
to be here but we want to get home.' So with the one propellei-
and at a slow rate we crossed the Atlantic, arriving in port eight
days overdue. At Camp Devens, Mass., our bodies and our clothes
were deloused, and I was shipped on west to Fort A. D. Russell,
Wyoming, where I was honorably discharged from the army May
25, 1919."
Verne Larrick Allen enlisted in the Marines in St, Paul, Minn.,
in July, 1918, and was sent to Parris Island, S. C, for training.
After a short time the boys of the Second Division wore shipped
across but when they landed the Armistice had been signed. They
were taken on into Germany and stationed at Honnigen and did
not return to the United States till the latter part of 1919. He
writes us that one of his experiences was to get up to the front
after a hard drive and see the dead Germans scattered about. All
our soldiers that had been killed were buried, but there was not
time to bury the German soldiers. One of his most trying experi-
ences was to see nine American soldiei's drop dead from exhaus-
tion on a long march up a hill as they were entering Germany.
Mary Allen graduated from the high school. Miss Wood's Kinder-
garten School of Minneapolis, and the McPhail School of Music,
and was a vocal student at the same institution during the past
summer. She is now an assistant teacher in the schools of Minne-
apolis (1922-23). She is an ambitious and energetic young lady.
During the World war Mr, Allen helped to put across every
loan in Beardsley and received a diploma for his faithful services.
At the last he registered for army service overseas. Mrs, Allen
was busy with Red Cross work and tried to get into the nursing
service to get overseas and be near her sons. Mr. Allen manages
a large estate; Glenn and Verne are business men.

(2529) Noah H. Larrick (2453) was born and reared in Noble
county, Ohio. In his eighteenth year, March, 1864, he enlisted in
the Union army and fought till the end of the war. His sixteen-
year-old cousin, John McElwee, was with him till he was killed
in the battle near Winchester, Sept. 19, 1864. The boys had
another cousin, William Arnold, a much older man, who gave
them much helpful counsel. But we will let Mr. Larrick tell his
own story:
"I enlisted in Co. 'H,' 116th Regiment, 0. V. I., at Uhrichsville
in March, 1864, and was sent to Todd's barracks, Columbus, Ohio.
After a short stay there I was sent to my company, which was
in camp near Martinsburg, W. Va. In a short time we were given
orders to march up the valley (Shenandoah) to hunt for the
enemy. We found them at Newmarket, May 18, about sixty
miles south of Winchester, under the command of Gen. J. C.
Breckenridge, ex-vice president of the United States. Our com-
mander was Gen. Seigle. Our regiment was ordered to the front
to support one of our batteries on the hill. We were under the
enemy's fire but did not become actively engaged ourselves. They
were too much for us so Gen. Seigle ordered a retreat which we
did very successfully. We fell back to Winchester, where Gen.
Hunter was put in command of our forces. Receiving some rein-
forcements we were ordered up the valley again. We met the
Confederate forces under Gen. Jones at Piedmont, just east of
the Blue Ridge near Harrisonburg, where a severe battle was
fought June 5. Our army was victorious, capturing 2,000 prison-
ers; killed and wounded, about the same number. Gen. Jones being
among the latter. We continued to go forward to Staunton (the
home town of ex-President Wilson), captured Lexington, where
the Military Academy had been established by the Confederacy,
on south toward Lynchburg, where there were great stores of
military goods. We arrived at Lynchburg on June 17th and the
next day fought a hard battle, but the Confederates receiving
reinforcements caused our forces to give way and begin a retreat.
We lost heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners. Cut off from
retreating down the valley, we had to cross the mountains to the
Big Kanawha river, where we took boats at Charleston and went
down the river to the Ohio at Pomeroy, thence up to Parkersburg
and then by rail to Grafton, where the enemy had torn up the
track. We marched from here to Harpers Ferry, thence down
the river to Point of Rocks, forded the river and went up east of
the Blue Ridge Mountains to Snickers Gap. Here we were joined
by the Sixth and Nineteenth Army Corps. The Confederate Gen-
eral Early was just across the river between us and Winchester.
Our regiment (116th) and the 160th were ordered across the
river to bring on the engagement. We forded the Shenandoah
and formed in line of battle when the enemy came at us from front
192 Spaid Genealogy
and both flanks. We stood our grounds for a short time but had
to give way and recross the river, carrying with us our colonel,
who had been seriously wounded. Our loss was heayv. Date,
July 18, 1864. The enemy fell back and we followed up to Win-
chester, where another battle was fought on the 24th. We got
the worst of it and had to retreat to Chambersburg, Pa., where
Gen. Hunter was succeeded by Maj. Gen. Sheridan. Our forces
were reinforced by two corps and we started for Winchester
again. We met the Confederates under Gen. Early at Opequan
creek, near Winchester, Sept. 19, and a great battle was fought.
The old 116th gave a good account of itself, and we were vic-
torious. (John McElwee was killed in this battle.) The enemy
fell back to Fisher's Hill, near Strasburg, where we overtook them
and won a glorious victory. We followed them to Waynesborough
and gained another victory. We then went into camp at Cedai-
creek. Gen. Early gathered up another army and on the morning
of Oct. 19 slipped up on us, capturing our picket posts and was
almost in the camp before we knew it. They captured our tents
and twenty-two uf our cannons. We retreated toward Winchester,
where Geii. Sheridan had spent the night, met him, halted, faced
about, charged the enemy and sent them whirling up the valley;
recaptured our cannon and twentv-two more from the enemy, and
thousands of prisoners. This ended the hgnting in the valley. In
December we were ordered into winter quarters at Peterborough,
Va., where we remained till the latter part of March, 1865, when.
we broke camp, crossed the Appomatox river and marched around
south of Petersborough to Hatchers Run, where the enemy were
strongly fortified. We built strong breastworks and were under
the enemy's fire for a week. April 2, we were ordered over near
Petersburg to take Fort Gregg, which we did in a very short time,
but lost heavily in this chai-ge. The next morning we started
after Gen. Lee, he having evacuated Richmond and Petersburg
during the night. We outmarched him, and at Appomatox Court
House he surrendered. Our regiment was kept in Richmond City
Point, Va., until Dec. 7, 1865, then we were mustered out."
On returning home Mr. Larrick worked as engineer on public
works, of late years at the mines, but for some years now he has
retired from active steady work. He married, Sept. 21, 1872,
Nancy Caroline Secrest, oldest daughter of Harrison and Eliza-
beth (Allison) Secrest. She was born in Pleasant City, Aug. 29,
1855, and with the exception of a few years on the farm south of
towm, has lived there all her life. Her mother was a cousin to
Senator Allison and to the mother of President McKinley. No
children were born to this worthy couple. Heaven left them
childless that they might make a home for the homeless and
unfortunate. Mrs. Larrick had the misfortune to lose her sight
a few years ago, but she is wonderfully cheerful for one so
afflicted. Both have the love of a wide circle of relatives and
friends.
(2530) Eliza Larrick (2454) was born and reared on a farm in
Noble county. Aug. 20, 1870, she married Madison LaFollette, a
SPAID GENEALOGif 193
son of John LaFollette and wife. He was born near Pleasant
City, Ohio, Jan. 19, 1846, and nearly all his life he followed
farming. Of later years they lived in Buffalo, where he died Jan.
13, 1921. Mrs. LaFollette still resides at the home. Nine children
were born to them, and more than forty grandchildren :
(2531) Cyrus LaFollette (2540), May 11, 1871-
(2532) Alfred LaFollette (2553), July 29, 1873-

(2540) Cyrus LaFollette (2531) is a mineworker and lives at
Buffalo. Oct. 6, 1894, he married Cora M. Ramage and ten
children have been born to them, Golda dying in girlhood ; Leoma

declared on Germany Mr. Hellyer was drafted into the service,
but we will follow his own story: "July 23, 1919, I was drafted
into the service and sent to Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, and
after a month's stay here was transferred to Camp Mills, N. J.,
for a few days, and on Sept. 3rd set sail for Europe. After thir-
teen days on the water we landed at Liverpool and were sent by
rail to Southampton, then crossed the English channel to Havre,
France, We were then loaded into box-cars and sent to the south
of France, where we sure did do some drilling. Here the 86th
division to which I belonged was broken up and used to replace
men in other divisions, and I was lucky enough to be assigned to
Co. 'L,' 28th Infantry, First Division. This was Oct. 21, 1918.
I now saw my first actual service, for we were in the last two days
of the Argonne Forest drive. Then we were relieved and sent
back of the lines for about a week. Again we were on the front
battle line for three days. Oct. 8th we started for Metz, and
when the Armistice was signed we were selected as one of the
divisions to make the army of occupation. Nov. 19, 1918, we
started on a hike of 450 miles into (Germany and we got to our
journey's end Dec, 27th, and began to do post duty, having
crossed the Rhine on the 13th of the same month. We would
move from place to place doing guard duty. This life we kept up
till in August, 1919, when the good news came that we were to be
sent home. We were transferred from Hanover, Germany, to
Brest, France, from which port we sailed Aug, 21. 1919, for the
good old United States, landing in Hoboken, N, J., Sept, 4, and
202 Spaid Genealogy
were sent to Camp Merritt. Here we stayed till Sept. 10th, when,
we went to New York City and put on a parade, and on the 16th
we paraded in Washing-toil City. Wc then were sent to Camp
Meade for a few days, and here I got my discharge Sept. 25, 1919,
and took the train for home, landing in Columbus on the 26th."

brick-yard owner of Kingfisher, Okla. Four children were born
of this union. Raymond, the oldest son, never married, but
served five years in the U. S. army. He gives us the following
brief account of his services:
"I enlisted in ihe U. S. army at Salina, Kans., Oct. 8, 1916. and
was sent to Fort Logan, Colo., for my recruit drill, where I re-
mained three months, and was then sent to San Diego, Calif., and
transferred to the 21st Infantry, a mighty fine outfit, both officers
and men. Both officers and men were 'old-timers' and that made
it much easier for the new recruits. We were doing border patrol
from San Francisco to Calexico, Calif., looking for smugglers and
troublesome Mexicans — of which there were plenty. After three
months of this work, they split the battalions so that each could
get an equal chance at the desert, because it was very hot. I was
in Co. 'M,' Third Bactalion. Our company commander was Capt.
Offely — we called him 'Pop' because he was a fatherly old man.
The commanding officer was Col. O'Neil, 'Bucky' for short, for
they were all nicknamed. They kept us traveling back and forth
along the border till after war was declared on Germany.
Orders came out to clear a site for a National Army camp near
San Diego, and we had cleared about enough ground for three
regiments when 40,000 men were shipped in from all over the
country. It was called Camp Kearney, and the soldiers were
known as the 40th Division. The camp grew rapidly until it was
large as any city. It was remarkable how fast the buildings were
built; they just seemed to spring fi'om the ground.
But my battalion went back to San Diego, and soon after we
went to Impei'ial Beach, seventeen miles out, to the target range.
It was my first time on the range but I made the grade of 'sharp-
shooter,' and of course was very pi'oud of my good luck. Soon
after this out oucfit was taken to Camp Kearney and made a part
of the 16th Division. Here we trained strenuously, preparing all
the while to go to France, but the influenza struck the camp and
I was one of the first to catch it. I was in the hospital 22 days,
and while here the armistice was signed. In January, 1919, we
Spaid Genealogy 227
were transferred to Vancouver, Wash., and after four weeks here,
relieved the 14th Infantry at Fort George Wright, Spokane, Wash.
While here I was made mess sergeant, which rank I was holding
at the time I received my honorable discharge, Aug. 12, 1921." He
is a professional ball player; Violet is a stenographer; Rose a
school teacher; Bill just graduated from the High school and will
study pharmacy. For years he has worked evenings and Saturdays
in a local drug store. All the children are at the home in King-

CHAPTER VI.
The Michael Spaid Family.
(3827) Michael Spaid (7), the third son of George and Eliza-
beth Spaid, was born at the old homestead in Virginia Oct. 1, 1795,
and grew to manhood there. In 1816 he married Margaret God-
love (Gottlieb, in German), a daughter of George Godlove and
wife, who was born in the same county as himself, Aug. 13, 1792.
After two children had been born to them, in company with his
aged parents, his unmarried brother and sister, William and
Nancy, and Henry Secrest and family (his sister Elizabeth), they
migrated to Ohio in the Autumn of 1819, and settled in the
southern part of Guernsey county, which was henceforth to be
their home. William and Nancy married about four years later,
and in the meantime they had been joined by George Hellyer and
his small family, who had been living in Jefferson county for a few
years. Now they were all located in the same neighborhood,
which is pretty much Spaid to this day. In early life Michael
was a hard worker ; in later years he took life easy. He had a good
farm and was a good manager, — a characteristic of all the older
Spaids. The wife was also a hard worker and a good manager.
In 1828 Rev. William Keil came from Virginia to this settlement
and organized the Lutheran church at Mt. Zion. Michael and
his wife were charter members. As the settlement filled with
families and the families increased in size, a church was built at
Buffalo, where a small hamlet was growing, and Michael and
family, and the Secrest family, transferred their membership to
this place. It was less than half a mile from the Spaid and
Secrest homesteads, and the Mt. Zion church was nearly three
miles away. About war time a church was built at Pleasant City
under similar circumstances, that hamlet having grown to some
proportions. It was a mile and a half from the Buffalo church
and three miles from Mt. Zion. These three Lutheran churches
have always been ministered to by the same pastor, and the mem-
bership is and always has been for the most part made up of
Secrest and Spaid people. Michael was deeply religious, and
though very close in money matters (like all the Spaids), was
generous to the church. Like all his people, Michael was a Jeffer-
sonian Democrat; Rev. Keil an Abolitionist-Republican. During
the war, unfortunately, he preached a sermon in which he tried
to make it plain that all the Democrats were disloyal and not good
citizens. Michael instantly rose from his seat, passed out of the
church, walked across the bottom to his home and sat down on
the front porch, deeply hurt, but he talked to no one. At the
conclusion of the service, Peter D. Robins said to the preacher.
252 Spaid Genealogy
"Rev. Keil, I fear you hurt Mr. Spaid's feelingrs, for he left the
church during the sermon." "Oh, I'll make that all right," he
replied. So he got on his horse and rode over to Spaid's, hitched
his horse and sac downi on the porch — though Michael did not
invite him to be seated. "Were you sick, that you left the church
to-day, Mv. Spaid?" quei'ied the pastor. "Keil, say no more,"
commanded the old man. He was dangerously near the boiling
point. Soon Aunt Peggy came to the door and announced dinner.
"I want none," said Michael. "Keil, go in and eat dinner, then I
want you to come out, get on your horse and go home." Pretty
strong language for a Lutheran to use to a minister, for next to
Catholics we think Lutherans will stand for more out of their
pastors than any other denomination. Well, the preacher had
gone to the right place to hear some plain talk. There is not a
Spaid but what will say more to a man's face than he will behind
his back. Some of the older members went over to see Michael,
rubbed the fur the right way, and Michael agreed that if the
pastor would offer an apology for that sermon, he would resume
his place in the church. Rev. Keil was a very fine man, of deep
piety and broadminded, but zeal for the Union cause led him too
deeply into partisan politics. He apologized, and the incident was
closed. Michael resumed his place in the church.
Eight children were born to this Spaid family, the two oldest
being girls. They could wield an axe just about as well as they
could handle a spinning wheel, and they could not be excelled at
that. George was an invalid most of his life and died unmarried
at the age of forty. Sarah died an infant and is buried at Hope-
well near to the grandparents — there being no cemetery at that
time at Buffalo or Mt. Zion. Eliza Jane died unmarried at the age
of thirty-one and she and all this family, except the infant, are
buried in the Buffalo cemetery. Michael died Oct. 10, 1872, and
the widow followed him Aug. 30, 187:). The Spaid farm passed
mto other hands but the house remains almost as it was in the
days when Michael ruled his household with a rod of iron. Seem-
ingly the children loved their father more than the mother; but
the grandchildren, almost without exception, preferred the grand-
mother with her broad Virginian accent and her kindly ways.
Both were excellent people and good citizens, and had the respect
of all their neighbo]-s. The names, with dates, of this family:

Part One.
(3837) Christina Spaid (3828), the oldest child of Michael and
Margaret Spaid, was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, Aug.
31, 1817, and when two years old was brought by her parents to
the wilderness of Ohio. Here her lot was the same as any other
pioneer child, and consisted of much hard work and little schooling.
She helped with the clearing, was an expert at the spinning wheel,
and, like all the Spaid girls, was a first-class cook and housekeeper.
May 4, 1843, she married Thomas Andrew Dyson, a son of Squire
Joseph Dyson and Sarah Campbell, his wife, and came to live
in the hamlet then known as Point Pleasant, now Pleasant City,
w^here he kept a general store, and some time later, on the estab-
lishment of a postoffice, was appointed postmaster, the office being
named Dyson in honor of his father. Squire Dyson, who had laid
out the village on his own farm. Soon after his marriage Mr.
Dyson built the combination storeroom and residence on the corner
of the "square" that v/as destined to be her home for more than a
half century. In this location it was natural that she should be
known by everybody in the community, and the home being near
the bridge that spans the creek that skirts the entire town on the
north, it was the logical meeting place for the young people that
were going into the country for a spelling match or sociable at
some of the schoolhouses to the north of tov/n. She kept open
house from daybreak till nine o'clock at night, then everybody
knew it was Aunt Tene's bedtime, for that was the familiar name
by which everybody knew her, even the foreign people that came
to work in the coal mines in later years adopting the title.
After twenty-five years of married life, Mr. Dyson, who was
born Oct. 25, 1819, had died of pneumonia June 19, 1869, but the
store and postoffice was continued by their oldest daughter, Sarah
Margaret, till her marriage to Thomas Lee in 1876, and after that
by the son-in-law, A. C. Flanagan, for many years, and even now
one grandson, Clarence Flanagan, is postmaster and two other
grandsons are in the store business here. The excuse we have to
offer for the length of this article is the fact that the subject was
the compiler's grandmother and that she inspired this story of
the Spaids. She lived to extreme old age, dying Dec. 4, 1904, and
enjoyed exceptional health and vigorous intellect all her life. Old
friends and neighbors that had been absent for thirty or forty
years always called to see Aunt Tene when on a visit to their
relatives, and I never saw her fail to name them on the spot. She
enjoyed the society of young folks and had a house full every night.
A good talked herself, she would not tolerate gossip in her home.
Spaid-like, she had her say right to the person's face and I never
heard her make an unkind remark behind their back. Tolerant
of all faiths and everybody, there were two classes that she never
criticized — Spaids and Lutherans. A devoted Lutheran that never
doubted in matters of faith, she always attended the services of
her church and sat at the end of the front pew in the "Amen cor-
ner." No one ever sat in her place. She taught a class of little
girls in the Sunday school till after she was eighty years old. In

politics she had been reared a Democrat, but having married into
a Republican family she was always neutral and we have often
heard her say she would not vote if women had the suffrage, that
their place was in the home. Habit was strong in her, so meals
were ready on the hour and the week's wash would have been put
out on Monday morning had she known the world was to end on
the same afternoon. She was a woman, take her for all in all, I
shall not see her like again. Six children were born to this worthy
couple, as follows :
(3838) Infant Son, born and died in 1844.
(3839) Sarah M. Dyson (3844), March 20, 1845-Dec. 6, 1899.
(3840) Michael Spaid Dyson (3857), Sept. 12, 1847-
(3841) Mary E. Dyson (3882), Nov. 30, 1850-June 5, 1872.
(3842) Lucy Jane Dyson (3884), Nov. 18, 1853-
(3843) George William Dyson, Sept. 24, 1858-Nov. 9, 1867.
(3844) Sarah M. Dyson (3839). We think it no exaggeration
to say that the most beloved person that ever lived in the southern
part of Guernsey county was the subject of our sketch. The oldest
daughter of Thomas and Christina Spaid Dyson, she was born
March 20, 1845, in Pleasant City, Ohio, attended the village school,
clerked in her father's grocery and after his death continued the
store and postoffice till her marriage, June 8, 1876, to Thomas
James Lee, who was born Jan. 24, 1855, and died June 3, 1902,
Soon after marriage they went to live in Byesville, five miles from
their former home, where Mr. Lee was engineer at the first mine
operated in this valley. Byesville was then a very small village of
less than a dozen houses, and naturally each person knew every-
body in the village, and because of her genial disposition and witty
remarks Mrs. Lee was soon a universal favorite here as well as
in Pleasant city. Though very much a Dyson in disposition, Sarah
Margaret had a Spaid tongue in her head that won her friends
everywhere. Because of delicate health, when about nine years
old she had suffered curvature of the spine, but no one ever pitied
her for her affliction ; her brilliant sayings and merry laugh inocu-
lated the whole crowd and kept one from noticing it. Though
never very well there was nothing melancholy in her disposition,
so that people less happily constituted always came to her to get
"cheered up." Mrs. Lee died Dec. 6, 1899, five years before her
venerable mother, and was buried in the Byesville cemetery. Mr.
Lee died two years and a half later and is buried beside her. Two
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lee, as follows :
(3845) Thomas Daniel Emmett Lee (3847), March 15, 1877-
(3846) Mary Odessa Lee (3852), June 14, 1884-July 26, 1916.
(3847) T. D. Emmett Lee (3845), the only son of Sarah Mar-
garet and Thomas J. Lee, was born at Pleasant City and reared in
Byesville. He is an electrical engineer and works for a mining
company at Curtisville, Pa. June 7, 1900, he married Margaret
Ringer, the daughter of Dr. John W. and Mary Ann (Bliss)
Ringer, who was born in Byesville, June 29, 1878. Two children
were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lee:
(3848) Mary Margaret Lee (3850), April 18, 1901-
(3849) William Lee, June 17, 1909-
256
Spaid Genealogy
(3850) Mary M. Lee (3848), only daughter of Emmett and
Margaret Lee, was born in Byesville and reared in Cambridge,
where she attended the public schools. Later the family removed
to Curtisville, Pa., where she married, June 7, 1921, Charles H.
Bible, born Feb. 9, 1900. They live in Curtisville.
Mildred Li;e Mi'kray
(3852) Mary Odessa Lee (3846), the only daughter of Sarah
Margaret and Thomas J. Lee, was born and reared in Byesville,
and graduated from the Byesville High school. Aug. 1, 1901, she
married Heniy Murray, a miner, who died in 1902. April 6,
1905, she mari-ied John Hood, a painter and decorator. She died
of lung trouble July 26, 1916. Like her mother she was very much
beloved for her brilliant wit and genial disposition. By the first
marriage she had one daughter, Mildred Murray, who is a graduate
of the convent of Our Lady of the Lake, San Antonio, Texas. She
is a fine scholar and splendid vocalist. She is now teaching in
the public schools of San Antonio, Texas. Three sons resulted from
the second marriage. They live with the father, who has remar-
ried, in Byesville, Ohio. These children:

Dr Orville M. Dyson
(3857) Michael S. Dyson (3840). Sometimes we think the person
most to be envied in this world is he who leads an uneventful
existence ; keeps his name out of the newspapers, court records
and the mouths of gossiping- neighbors. The subject of our sketch
has been very successful along that line. This excellent citizen is
the only son of Christina Spaid and Thomas A. Dyson to reach
manhood. Born in Pleasant City, Sept. 12, 1847, he attended the
village school, served an apprenticeship to a carpenter, and mar-
ried, Oct. 16, 1868, Margaret E. Dudley (3129), daughter of Isa-
bella Hellyer and Jacob Dudley, born Nov. 29, 1846. All the
married life of this devoted couple was passed in or near Pleasant
City. Mr. Dyson worked at his trade of carpenter, of late years
working for a coal company repairing cars and doing general
repair work. In her younger days Mrs. Dyson was an expert
carpet weaver. Though past the Biblical three-score-years-and-
ten, both lead active lives, belong to church and the fraternal
orders, and are highly respected by their neighbors and friends.
After writing the above Mrs. Dyson died April 22, 1922. She was
a good Christian woman, and will be greatly missed by her family
and a wide circle of friends. In the loss of their two promising
sons these parents had suffered the full measure of sorrow.
Dr. Orville M. Dyson was the most perfect speciment of manhood
that the Spaid family ever produced. He was six feet four inches
in height, but so well proportioned that you could think only of
Saul, king of Judea, when in his princely presence. Courteous,
affable, genial, he was beloved by everybody. Born in Pleasant
City, Jan. 21, 1874, he was educated in the village schools and was
bookkeeper for a company store for some time. Then he resolved
to take a course in the medical department of the Ohio State Uni-
versity. Here his qualities of heart and mind made him the
258 Spaid Genealogy
natural leader of his class, of which he was elected president two
yeai's. On the com];)]etion of his junior year the faculty advised
him to have his tonsils removed, as they had given him much
trouble during- that last term. This was done, but tubercular
germs developed and he steadily declined from that time till his
death. Dec. 12, 1901. His class sent down a delegation to his
funeral and issued a memorial extolling his many virtues.
The following children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Dyson :
(3858) Son born and died in 1869.
(3859) Vadenia M. Dyson (3863), Nov. 1, 1870-

(3863) Vadenia M. Dyson (3859), the only daughter of Michael
and Margaret Dyson, was born and reared in Pleasant City. June
12, 1895, she married David Steele, an expert electrical engineer,

Feb. 25, 1903, at Pleasant City, he married Edna Siens, the only
daughter of Madison and Alice (Johnson) Siens. Mrs. Dyson
was born in Pleasant City, Nov. 16, 1881, and they had been
lovers from childhood. Mr. Dyson and his bride returned to
Pennsylvania, but soon after he was attacked by tuberculosis of
the knee, and the poison rapidly spread throughout his system.
He died Nov. 16, 1903, and is buried at Pleasant City. After his
death, because of indifferent health, Mrs. Dyson made her home at
Asheville, N. C, dying there in the Summer of 1922. They had no

life. Dec. 30, 1869, she married James Madison Secrest, the only
son of Harrison and Hulda (Thompson) Secrest, born near Pleas-
ant City, July 25, 1848. At the time of their marriage he was
associated in business with his father. They owned a flour mill
and woolen faccory. Here fine blankets and much cloth was made
and shipped throughout the middle west. But the white plague
had marked the young wife for its own and she died June 5, 1872,
and is buried in the Mt. Zion cemetery. Older persons who re-
member Mrs. Secrest say she was an intelligent, lovable young

(3889) John T. Flanagan (3885), oldest son of A. C. and Lucy
(Dyson) Flanagan, was born and reared in Pleasant City. When
young he assisted his father in the store, but for several years he
and his brother Dwight have been in business for themselves. In
1908 he married Cora Collins, daughter of Joseph Collins and
wife, who was born in Pleasant City, Ohio, March 16, 1881. Three
children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Flanagan :
(3890) Glenna Christina Flanagan, Nov. 13, 1909-
(3891) John A. Flanagan, Aug. 29, 1918-

and helped about the store when young, but after he grew to man-
hood had a taste for politics and was Democratic central com-
mitteeman for Pleasant City and for his senvices to his party was
rewarded by being appointed postmaster, which position he has
held for eight years. He has been pronounced the most efficient
postmaster in eastern Ohio. Feb. 15, 1916, he married Elizabeth
MacFadyen, who was born in Shawnee, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1889. She
is energetic, does her housework, and assists at the postoffice.
They have no children.
(3894) H. D wight Flanagan (3887) is the youngest son of A. C.
and Lucy Flanagan. From a mere boy he was tinkering around to
make some pocket money. He helped at the store and went to
school, but for many years he has had a millinery store, and now
with his brother John has a confectionery store, cigar stand, and
filling station. He married, March 6, 1916, Emma Gillespie, of
Columbus, Ohio, born Jan. 3, 1885. She has the care of the mil-
linery store. They have no children.
(3895) Hun C. Flanagan (3888), the only daughter of Lucy and
A. C. Flanagan, was born and reared in Pleasant City. She at-
tended the public schools and for some time studied music in
Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. 26, 1906, she married Frederick A. Meacham,
of Alabama, who located in Pleasant City and has a thriving
tailoring business there, besides other business interests in the
county. Mr. and Mrs. Meacham have three beautiful children :
(3896) Laura Pearl Meacham, Nov. 7, 1906-
(3897) Frederick A. Meacham, Jr., Dec. 25, 1913-
(3898) Beatrice Jane Meacham, April 28, 1918-
Part Two.
(3900) Mary Spaid (3829), the second daughter of Michael and
Margaret Spaid, was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, and
brought to Ohio when less than a year old. Like all pioneer
children, she was taught all kinds of work and received but little
schooling. She was an expert at the spinning wheel and was a
first-class cook. She married Balis D. Kackley, a farmer boy,
boni May 9, 1821. He was the son of Jonathan and Mary (Dyson)
Kackley, the father born in Virginia and the mother in Maryland,
but we think they met and married in Ohio. After a large family
of children were born to them they started for the west, presum-
ably Indiana, for it was at the time of the great rush for that
country. Out near Zanesville where they had camped the father
took sick and died of typhoid fever. One of the children also
died. Then the mother brought her family of little ones and
came back to the Dyson homestead near Halley's schoolhouse on
the ridge east of Ava. Here the subject of our sketch grew to
Manhood and married Mary Spaid as stated above. They lived
on a farm near Pleasant City. Six children were born to them,
but only one, the son Michel, lived to pass the age of twenty-one.
The mother's health was always delicate and she died in 1865,
leaving four children, three of them very young. Mary, who was
'262 Spaid Genealogy
twenty years old at the time of the mother's death, died the next
yeai-. Afterward ]\Ir. Kackley married the widow Davids and
three more children were born to him. He died Dec. 16, 1902, and
was buried at Buffalo by the side of his first wife. The children
with dates are as follows :
(3901) Mary M. Kackley, 1845-1866. Unm.
(3902) Nancy C. Kackley, 1848-1860.
(3903) Maria J. Kackley, 1851-1853.
(3904) Michael L. Kackley (3907, Jan. 24, 1855-Mch. 7, 1916.
(3905) Christina E. Kacklev (3914), 1857-1876.
(3906) Lucy Bai-bara Kackley, 1861-1876. Unm.
(3907) Michael L. Kackley (3904) was born and reared near
Pleasant City. When young he worked on the railroad but later
worked at the mines. He married Sarah Rebecca Flanagan, of
Belmont county, bora Sept. 9, 1852. He was a hard-working man
and the wife was equally hard working and economical. They
built a fine home at Pleasant City, whei'e the widow still lives, but
the husband did not live long to enjoy the fruit of his toil and
economy. More flowers grow about that home than any other in
Pleasant City. Two daughters were born of this marriage:
(3908) Anna Kackley (3910), April 5, 1877-
(3909) Octa Kackley (3913), July 8, 1897-
(3910) Anna Kackley (3908), born and reared in Pleasant City,
married, in September, 1898, Charles T. Secrest, bora in 1870, the
son of Simon and Sarah (Tulles) Secrest. He is a barber by
trade and for years they lived in Pleasant City, but their home is
now in Akron. Two handsome sons wei-e born to them, but Her-
bert died when sixteen years old. Hai'old also barbers in Akron.
(3911) Harold Secrest, Nov. 26, 1899-
(3912) Herbert Secrest, Aug. 13, 1902-Oct. 31. 1918.
(3913) Octa Kackley (3909), the younger daughter of M. L.
and Sarah (Flanagan) Kackley, was born and reared in Pleasant
City, Ohio. April 14, 1920, she married Harry Stranathan, son of
the late J. P. Stranathan and wife. He is a painter and decorator,
bora Nov. 8, 1894. They have no children. Mr. Stranathan was
in the Woi'ld war and gives us the following summary of his
service :
"I was drafted into the service of the United States, Sept. 19,
1917, and left home a few days later for Camp Sherman, where
I became a member of Co. 'C,' 308th Engineers of the 83rd Divi-
sion, but a month later was transferred to Co. 'C,' 308th Field
Signal Battalion. After hard training in signal work, we were
sent to Camp Merritt, N. J., and here I was attached to the Engi-
neers and made corporal and a little later duty sergeant. After a
week at Camp Merritt we embarked at New York on the 'Megantic'
and sailed for France, crossing the Atlantic ocean by the northera
route, passed through the north channel and landed at Livei-pool.
We then went to Winchester, England, and from there to South-
ampton, where we loaded on the 'Kronoch' and were twenty hours
Spaid Genealogy 263
in crossing the English Channel to Cherbourg, France, being the
first American troops to land at that port. After one day in this
city we were sent to Eccomoy, where we remained for some time,
drilling intensely. We were then loaded on trains to go to Meaux,
but got lost and were sent to Conflans, St. Honorine, France, on
the Seine river, where we were billeted in a chateau once owned by
King Louis XIV. From this place we were shipped by train to
Chateau Thierry, where I was made sergeant of the first class, and
it was here that we saw our first active warfare.
"We crossed the Marne river to Mezy, France, and followed this
■drive through to Rheims. This was with the First Army Corps.
We then saw service in the Aisne-Marne ofi"ensive, the Oise-Aisne
offensive and the Meuse-Argonne offensive. It was while serving
in the latter sector that the armistice was signed. In fact, we
were on the front line, with but little interruption, from July 18
till the Armistice was signed in November.
"We were then transferred to the Army of Occupation, and
hiked a hundred and twelve miles through Belgium, Luxemberg
and GeiTuany to the Rhine, where we remained eight months,
mostly at Neuwied. While in Germany we were given passes that
permitted us to see many beautiful cities. I was in Paris three
weeks, Aix-les-Bains fourteen days, Brussels a fortnight, and saw
Cologne, Baun, Coblenz, beside several trips along the beautiful
Rhine.
"We left Coblenz July 14th for the good old U. S. A., and after
traveling several days in box-cars, embarked at Brest, France, on
the 'Princess Irene,' and after an uneventful voyage of ten days
landed in New York, and after a few days was shipped to Camp
Sherman, where I was discharged Aug. 7, 1919."
(3914) Christina E. Kackley (3905), daughter of Baylis and
Mary Kackley, was born and reared near Pleasant City. On
reaching womanhood she married Sylvester Huffard, but died soon
after, leaving no heirs.
Part Three.
(3915) Elizabeth Anne Spaid (3832) was born at the old home-
stead just a half mile south of Buffalo in 1826. She had the usual
experience of pioneer children— a maximum of work and a mini-
mum of schooling. But there was nothing to repine at in that
day. There were no rich nor poor, for everybody worked, and,
like all pioneer communities, everybody was on a social equality.
And they had good times in those days. In 1850 she married
Edwin E. Kackley, a son of Jonathan and Mary (Dyson) Kackley,
and a brother of Balis Kackley, who had married her sister Mary.
He was a farmer boy, born Feb. 26, 1826, and after farming for
Dr. Teter and others a few years, bought himself a farm on the
Clay pike just west of the George Salladay farm and about three
miles from either Buffalo or Pleasant City. Here they lived the
rest of their lives. He was a hard worker and a successful farmer,
and his wife was a good manager and a staven worker. They had
264 Spaid Genealogy
everything that farmer folks enjoy, and it was the best place in
the world to go visiting. Aunt Betsey was a true Spaid — light-
hearted, jolly and witty. In an accident Mr. Kackley had his leg
broken, and because ic would not heal properly he was pretty
much of an invalid for the last ten or twelve years of his life.
He died July 1, 1900, but the widow lived till October, 1915, when
she died in her ninetieth year. Next to Uncle Bill, she was the
longest-lived of all the Spaids. For many years all of Mike Spaid's
family had been dead except Christina Dyson (the writer's grand-
mother) and Elizabeth Kackley, the subject of this sketch. To
each other they were "Tean" and "Bets," and they spent much
time together, i-ecounting the incidents of their childhood, joking
and laughing like two jolly girls, though one was then dying in
her eighty-eighth year and the other was less than nine years
younger. We think so much fun and pure joy of living was never
found in an old heart as in Aunt Betsey. But her husband was
now dead, her last sister gone; about 1911 her cousins, Mary
Salladay, Margaret LaFollette and Barbara Trenner all died, so
she was like an old person taken among strangers that wants to
go home. During her last years her^ daughter, E valine, who never
married and who still lives, and with her sister Lucy, owns the
old home place, took very good care of the aged mother. The
children of this family are as follows :
(3916) John Louis Kackley (3922), Feb. 18, 1851-
(3917) Joseph Michael Kackley (3951), Aug. 22, 1853-
(3918) Evaline J. Kackley, May 2. 1857-
(3919) Margaret C. Kackley (3955), Feb. 6, 1860-
(3920) William H. Kackley, Dec. 16, 1862-Feb. 4, 1868.
(3921) Lucy Rachel Kackley (3956), Feb. 16, 1869-
(3922) John Louis Kackley (3916) was born and reared near
Pleasant City. In 1872 he married Rebecca, the daughter of Sam-
uel and Leah (Larrick) Secrest, of near Buffalo, born Sept. 29,
1850. Most of their lives has been spent on their farm north of
Pleasant City, but for some years they have lived in that village
and Mr. Kackley and his son Ralph own and operate the flour-mill.
Mrs. Kackley is full of folk-lore and family history. They have
five children :
(3923) Clara Kackley (3928), Nov. 19, 1872-
(3924) Bertha Kackley (3931), Jan. 10, 1875-
(3925) Charles E. Kackley (3940), May 26, 1877-
(3926) Ralph S. Kackley (3943), May 17, 1884-
(3927) Vernon Kackley (3946), Sept. 12, 1890-
(3928) Clara Kackley (3923), the daughter of John and Re-
becca Kackley, was born and reared near Pleasant City. July 15,
1896, she mrried Grant Heskett, a son of John Heskett and wife,
who was born in the same neighborhood Feb. 17, 1869. The early
part of their married life was spent in Indiana, where Mr. Heskett
worked at the glass works, but for many years they have lived on
their farm north of Pleasant City. Their two sons were born in
Indiana and are still unmarried. Harold works for a rubber

factory at Akron, and Paul, after graduating from the Pleasant
City High School, is enrolled as a student at Wittenberg College,
Springfield, Ohio (1922).
(3929) Harold Heskett, July 17, 1898-
(3930) Paul Heskett, Aug. 16, 1900-
Rev. H. M. Nicholson.
(3931) Bertha Kackley (3924), like all of John's family, was
born and reared on the farm three miles northeast of Pleasant
City. June 28, 1899, she married Rev. Moody Nicholson, a minis-
ter of the Lutheran church, the youngest son of Jacob and Jane
Nicholson. He was born near Pleasant City, educated in the public
schools and Wittenberg College and Seminary, Springfield, Ohio.
He served several pastorates in Kansas and at various points in
Ohio, and was the pastor of the Lutheran church in New Comers-
town, Ohio, when he died very suddenly of heart disease Oct. 28,
1920. He was a good man and gave promise of great usefulness
in his church when his career was cut short by death. The widow
continued to reside at New Comersto^vn till the end of the school
year for her daughter, Ida, was in the graduating class of the
High School. She is now a student in Wittenberg College, Spring-
field (1922). Clara graduated from the Newcomerstown High
266 Spaid Genealogy
School, from Wittenberg College, and is now teaching in the
public schools of Springfield. Elizabeth died young. Hobart,
Lawrence and May are with their mother and now live in Pleasant
City. The children of this interesting family are:

Ohio. She graduated fi'om the NewcomerstowTi High School in
1918, and the same year entered Wittenberg College, from which
she graduated with the A. B. degree in June, 1922. She had
taught in the Catawba, Ohio, High School, 1921-22, while com-
pleting her college course. Sept. 6, 1922, at St. Paul's Lutheran
church, Pleasant City, Ohio, she man-ied Rev. Otto Carl Meyer,
who is pastor of St. John's Lutheran church at Napoleon, Ind., in
which city they have their home. Rev. Meyer is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Meyer, of Oak Harboi-, Ohio, where he was born, April
1, 1894, and reared on a farm. He was educated in the Oak Har-
bor public schools, Woodville Academy, Capital University,
Columbus, Ohio, and the Wittenberg Seminary, graduating from
the lattei- institution in 1922. He is serving his first pastorate at
Napoleon, Ind.

Rebecca Kackley, was born on the farm about three miles north
of Pleasant City. Dec. 24, 1903. he married Stella Crawford, who
was born July 30, 1878. For many years he farmed and mined,
but for the past two years he has assisted his father in operating
the flour mill at Pleasant City, though they continue to live at
Derwent. Mr. and Mrs. Kackley have two sons ; Clarence has
graduated from the Cambridge Business College, and Kenneth
attends school at Derwent.

fine country home half a mile north of Pleasant City on the Cam-
bridge road, which is hard-surfaced, and the state highway from
Cleveland to Marietta, Ohio. We think Mrs. Kackley more learned
in floriculture than any individual in the Spaid family. She has
all kinds, and delights in working with them. Joe is an up-to-date
farmer and he and his son Orme, still unmarried and at the home,
own several farms and are hard workers. They hve two children :

much in the home of her grandfather, Michael Spaid, attended the
public schools and married John, oldest son of John and Sarah
(Hickle) Deeren, born at Pleasant City, Ohio, Nov. 16, 1850. All
their married life was passed in this village, where Mr. Deeren
was drayman and farmer. Both were highly respected citizens.
The mother died Jan. 3, 1903, and the father followed her Feb. 18,
1918. Three children were born to them:

were uncongenial and separated after a few years. Since their

their home in Akron, Ohio, where Pearl clerks in a department
store. She has no children.
(4050) Sarah Anne Deeren (4048) was born and reared in

attended business college and became a first-class stenographer
and worked in Cleveland, Ohio. Here she met and married, Nov.
27, 1910, William Affleck, an expert mining engineer, born in
England, July 30, 1881, and died in Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 2, 1911.
Three months later their daughter was born. Since her husband's
death, Mrs. Affleck lives in Akron, Ohio, and works for a big bank-
ing firm. The daughter:
(4051) Caroline Amelia Affleck, Dec. 23, 1911-
(4052) Margaret Spaid (3960), daughter of Harrison and Mary
Anne Rogers Spaid, was born on her grandfather Michael Spaid's
farm near Pleasant City, Ohio, Oct. 29, 1856. Here she grew to
womanhood and married Reuben Larrick, bom near Mt. Zion,
Ohio, in 1850. Soon after marriage they moved to Jasper county,
Missouri, where the wife died July 15, 1879. Two children were
born to them but both died before the mother. Mr. Larrick mar-
ried again and died in Jasper, Mo., in 1913.
(4053) Charles E. Larrick, bora in 1876-died in 1877.
(4054) Harry Larrick, born in 1878-died in 1879.
(4055) Michael Lorenzo Spaid (3961), son of Harrison and

grew to manhood here, marrying Sept. 24, 1879, Hannah S. Wills,
born at Buffalo, Ohio, April 10, 1860. Mr. Spaid has been very
successful in business and at present lives in Cambridge, Ohio, and
manages his farms and the flour mill four miles north of town.
Now that they are approaching seventy, it is often remarked by
older citizens how much the Spaid brothers, Mike and George,
resemble their grandfather, Michael Spaid. Two children were
born to these parents, but unfortunately, the son died in early
youth.

bridge, Ohio. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs.

Part Five.
(4061) Barbara Spaid (3834) was born and reared at the Spaid
homestead near Buffalo. Nov. 18, 1852, she married William Trott,
a young man of French descent who was boni in Maryland near
Baltimore, and came to Ohio in early life. For some years they
lived on a farm near Hiramsburg, Ohio, and then purchased the
farm adjoining the Spaid homestead on the south. Here all the
family were reared and here this devoted mother died in 1885
after a life of hard work. Barbara was the best singer in the
Spaid family and the husband was also an excellent vocalist, so it
would be expected that the children would have the gift of song.
This they had to a remarkable extent. The father was something
of an exhorter in the M. E. church and could pray till he fairly
made the rafters rattle. Naturally he followed up the protracted
meetings throughout the valley and was very helpful in the reviv-
als. After Barbara died he married again, but the venture proved
unfortunate and he came back and made his home with his daugh-
ter, Olevia Jane Secrest, till he died June 2, 1909. There were
eight children born in the Trott family:
(4062) George Trott (4070), Sept. 4, 1853-1913.
(4063) Christina Trott (4075), Dec. 25, 1855-Oct. 5, 1895.

(4069) Elizabeth L. Trott (251), Nov. 25, 1876-
(4070) George Trott (4062) and Jennie Jackson were married
May 29, 1879. When young he worked on a farm, but later at the
coal mines. He had a good substantial house in Buffalo, but both
parents are now dead. They had two children, the daughter Edith
being a music teacher.

Oct. 5, 1907. He is a miner. Their marriage proving uncon-
genial, they separated. One child was born to them :
(4074) William Edward Trott, died in infancy.
(4075) Christina Trott (4063) was an unusually charming
young woman. She was good-looking and vivacious, and conse-

quently had a host of friends and admirers. She had unusual
dramatic talent and older citizens of Pleasant City still recall her
work in an amateur production of Ten Nights in a Bar Room. Her
screams when Tig Spaid was (supposedly) killed still sound in
mine ears, and methink we enjoyed more thrills during those two
evenings than any show has given us since, though we have heard
Henry Irving, Sarah Bernhardt and a few others. So much for
first impressions. May 27. 1877, our subject married Edward S.
Flanagan, of Belmont county, a brother of Ambrose Flanagan and
Sarah R. Kackley, who had already married grandchildren of
Michael Spaid. Ed was born April 5, 1855. For a few years
they lived on a farm near Buffalo, and then removed to Bethesda,
where they lived till her death in 1895. She was a cheerful,
admirable woman and her death was lamented by all her friends.
After her death Mr. Flanagan married again and now lives near
London, Ohio. By the first marriage there were five children, as
follows :
(4076) Emma Flanagan (4181), Nov. 18, 1878-Feb. 9, 1905.

(4097) Samuel E. Trott (4065), son of William and Barbara
274 Spaid Genealogy
Trott, was reared near Buffalo, and when quite a young man began
to work at the mines. His aptitude for business gained him steady
promotion and he was soon taken into the home office. Feb. 15,
1887, he married Sarah Catherine Spaid (185), the daughter of
Edward and Jane (Dickerson) Spaid. She was boiTi and reared
in Buffak). After twenty-five years of married life they separated
and she returned to Buffalo and took care of her aged parents,
who were then rapidly declining from advanced age. Finally they
were divorced and Mr. Trott married, in 1917, Frieda Breskie.
He is traveling salesman for a coal company and they live in Sagi-

children :
(4102) Michael Richard Trott (4066) was reared at the old
homestead near Buffalo. Feb. 8, 1887, he married Lizzie Mary,
daughter of Luther and Rachel Ann Spaid. Foi* a time they lived
in Buffalo, but most of their mai'ried life has been spent in Pleas-
ant City. Richard works in the mines. Their oldest daughter,
Mabel, died in her eighteenth year. She was a brilliant pianist
and a general favorite in Pleasant City. George Richard gradu-
ated from the Pleasant City high school and is now attending

is the son of David and Sarah Jane (Miller) Secrest. He is a
farmer and miner and they have an elegant home in Buffalo ; well
kept, of course, his wife is a Spaid. If all the world is a stage,
to Jane Secrest it puts on nothing but comic opera. She absolutely
refuses to see any dark pictures. All her friends may have on a
Spaid Genealogy 275-
February face, but if she attempts to put on one it is a dismal
failure. She is the essence of fun and lightheartedness. No one
oould stay blue about her long. This serious man and joyful
woman were the parents of just one daughter,
(4111) Sarah Barbara Secrest (4112), June 8, 1889-

Michael and Margaret Spaid as one of their own children. They
gave her the same advantages for school and hard work as the
rest received and when she married William Savely she was given
an "outfitting" just as their daughters had been given. This con-
sisted of a horse and side-saddle, a cow, a feather-bed of their
o^v^l making, many quilts that she and her grandmother had made,
abundance of linen, a set of dishes, cooking utensils, etc., etc. Mr.
Savely died in 1872, leaving no heirs, and Rebecca then married,

CHAPTER VIL
The Anderson Family.
(4175) Christina Spaid (8) was one of the most remarkable
of women. It is said she could take a sickle and lead the har-
vesters all day long. Twice in her lifetime she rode horesback
from Virginia to Ohio to visit her relatives, once when a young
woman and once in middle life. She was bom at the Spaid home-
stead on Capon river, Oct. 11, 1797, and on May 6, 1819, she mar-
ried Captain James Anderson, born Jan. 3, 1797. He had been a
soldier in the war of 1812, but we think his title came later from
the Governor of Virginia for his services in drilling the state
militia. He too had wonderful powers of endurance, and it is said
that when a comparatively old man he walked from his home on
Timber ridge to Winchester on muster days, drilled their militia
all day and walked home in the evening. He and his energetic
wife accumulated considerable property, but Uncle Jim was too
fond of "rock and rye" and when in a joyous mood would let too
much money slip through his fingers. Both lived to a ripe old age,
she dying Oct. 10, 1881, and he Jan. 18, 1884. They had only two
children :
(4176) Michael Spaid Anderson (4178), Oct. 17, 1821-June

county, grew to manhood there, married Rebecca A. Kline, who
w^as bora Aug. 9, 1824, and died July 10, 1895, following farming
all his life. These were good parents, good citizens, and their
memory is revered to this day by all their descendants. The bet-
ter a man is the less eventful is his life and the story of his life
is told in three words — a good man. These worthy parents had
ten children born to them, all of whom grew to maturity. Jacob
William, and Stonewall Jackson, now aged men living near Wilm-
ing^ton, Ohio, never married.

Navy Dec. 13, 1917, at Tampa, Fla.. and was in training at Norfolk,
and Hampton Roads, Va. I went aboard the U. S. S. 'Montana'
and sailed from Hampton Roads on Feb. 25, 1918, for Halifax,
Nova Scotia fi'om which place we made three trips to Liverpool,
England, convoying transpoi't ships loaded with Canadian troops.
We then went to New York and from that port we made eight trips
to England convoying transports carrying American soldiers for
service in France.
"After the armistice was signed the 'Montana' made thi'ee trips
from New York to Europe doing transport duty — that is bringing
American troops home. In Brest, France. IMarch 13, 1919, I was
transferred and traveled by rail to Polliac, where I remained two
months ; then I was put in a crew and traveled back to Brest.
Here I went aboard the U. S. S. 'Kaiserin Augusta Victoria' and
we sailed for Hoboken, N. J., taking a new course by way of the
Azores Islands. I received an honorable discharge Dec. 23, 1919."

(4341) C. Richard Boyce (4338), son of H. P. and Margaret
(Racey) Boyce, was born and reared in Frederick county, Vir-
ginia. He enlisted in the 2nd Va. Inf. June 26, 1916. and served
on the Mexican Border for a time. March 25, 1917, he was called
into service again for the Woi'ld War. But we will let him tell his
own story. "I was called into service March 25, 1917, and after
some months of training in various places the 2nd Va. National
Guard was sent to Camp McClelland, Ala., and I was assigned to
Co. T of the 116th Infantiy, U. S. Army, and made Sergeant.
This company was formed by the consolidation of Cos. 'B' and T
of the Second Virginia National Guard, with the addition of 23
enlisted men from the 4th Va. Nat. Guard. This consolidation
was completed Oct. 4, 1917, and consisted of the following: Captain
Robert Y. Conrad, Co. Commander, 5 Lieutenants and 251 enlisted
men.
"The first eight months consisted of a schedule of very intensive
training, including classes in different methods of modern warfare
which had been brought about in the recent war, and taught by
English and French instructors. This schedule called for eight
hours per day of hard training, with maneuvers, hikes and parades
several times per week. In the meantime the physically unfit and
undesirables were weeded out, so that at the end of eight months
the Company was one of the best disciplined and physically fit in
the Regiment, all having the desire 'to do their. bit' in France.
"June 12, 1918, our Company entrained for Hoboken, N. J., and
on reaching that city immediately embarked on the transport 'Fin-
land.' Next morning, June 15th, the 'Finland' steamed out of the
harbor and put to sea. We were accompanied by an escort of
Spaid Genealogy 289
submarine destroyers, and on account of the danger from subma-
rines a zigzag course was pursued across the Atlantic. The voy-
age was uneventful. On the morning of June 27th land could be
seen in the distance and everyone hurried on deck. The scene was
magnificent. The tall promontories of Belle Isle jutting out into
the sea made an artistic picture indeed. In the background were
quaint farm houses with their green pastures and Dutch wind-mills.
As evening came on we could descry the faint outlines of the coast
of sunny France, and at dusk fhe 'Finland' dropped anchor in the
harbor of St. Nazaire. The journey was ended and everybody was
in great spirits. Next morning we debarked and marched to Base
Section No. 1, Camp No. 1.
"The first four days were spent in cleaning up and getting equip-
ment which had not been done in the United States. On July 3rd,
1918, we entrained at St. Nazaire and spent the memorable Fourth
on a French train. We marched and hiked and were transferred
until we finally came to Geuwenheim on the 26th. Next day Co.
'F was ordered into the front line for the first time, rlieving a
Battalion of French in the Dallar sector. The Company was re-
lieved on the night of August 4th by Co. 'M' of the 116th Inf., and
we were sent to St. Cosmes, where we were again put in the third
line of resistance. August 27th we left St. Cosmes and marched
to Bachwiller, but were relieved on September 6th, and marched
back to St. Cosmes. September 18th we hiked six miles to Roppe,
and left there on the 22nd for Belfort, where we entrained and
were taken to Revigny, hiking to Seignirells next day. On the
night of September 30 we bivouaced in a forest near Piety and the
next morning hiked twelve miles to Souhesme-les-Grande, remain-
ing there until October 4th, when we marched to Fort Du Ghana
near Verdun and remained there until October 7th. Next morn-
ing we started for the front lines in the vicinity of Verdun, and
on arriving immediately went forward with the 3rd Battalion as
an assaulting Company. It was in this attack that Captain Con-
rad was wounded (and later died), but Lt. Harold R. Dinges
assumed command and led it through the entire engagement. We
were held in reserve until October 15th, when we were again the
assaulting Company. In this attack stiff resistance was met,
mostly from machine guns, and caualties were much greater than
ni the former attack, but we were successful and the objectives
were reached and held. We were held in Brigade reserve several
days, when we again took over a part of the front lines. October
28th we were relieved and marched to Verdun. Next day we left
there and after numerous hikes and transfers from place to place,
we arrived at Parnot, w^ent into billet and again started training,
as on our first arrival in France, though weather conditions were
very disgreeable. We took part in the following battles : Mal-
brouck Hill, Molleville Farm, Attack on Bois de OiTnont, Grande
Montagne, Capture of Etraye Ridge, Attack on Bois Belleau. The
casualties were : Killed and died, one officer and fifteen men ;
wounded, two officers and 72 men. We remained at Parnot until
290 Spaid Genealogy
our turn came to be transported to the good old United States, and
I finally received my discharge on May 28, 1919.
"Early in November, 1918, I was assigned to Officers' Training
School at Langres, France, but since the ai-mistice was signed on
the eleventh of that month we did not receive our commissions,
though we had the privilege of accepting them later, which I never
did. I returned to my Company and occupied the position of
Battalion Sgt. JMajor until I was sent to the hospital for bi-onchitis.
On recovering I did not return to my outfit but sailed direct for
home, arriving in New York May 11th. I was sent to Camp Lee,
Va., where I was discharged May 28, 1919.

CHAPTER VIII.
The William Spaid Family.
(4500) William Spaid (9), the subject of our sketch, almost
lived throughout the nineteenth century, having been bom in
January, 1800, and died in March, 1890. He lived to see the
wonderful development of our government and the marvelous
expansion of her territory. Born on the bank of the Capon river,
Virginia, he could well remember the war of 1812. When nineteen
years old he came with a part of his father's family to Ohio, then
a virgin wilderness, but he lived to see the forest all cleared away,
the valleys intensely cultivated, and the first coal mines opened
in the county of his adoption. May 15, 1823, he married Elizabeth,
the daughter of Jacob and Mary (Moore) Secrest, who was bom
near Capon Springs, Va., May 30, 1801, and died Sept. 10, 1847.
They settled on the quarter section just west of his brother Michael
and for full fifty years there was the best understanding between
the two brothers and their families. They were very different in
temperament, for William never got too old to joke and play tricks
on somebody ; Michael was grave almost to the point of melancholy.
Both ruled their families with a rod of iron. When they said
anything to their children they were obeyed. They would accept
no half-way obedience. The brothers were intensely fond of each
other and up to Michael's death always assisted each other with
work, especially the fall butchering. The principal was supposed
to be up with a fire built and the water hot, or even boiling, when
the assistant brother arrived, so the brothers were constantly
striving to catch each other in bed. One time William concluded
not to go to bed but waited till after midnight and then crossed
the hill. Michael was up and pulling on his boots when he heard
his brother at the door, and he called out cheerfully, ''Come on in,
William." That was a pretty close shave to disgrace from the
Spaid standpoint. A Spaid farmer is always up and has about
half a day's work done when his neighbors are just getting out
to work.
After his first wife died, Uncle Bill married her cousin, Anne
Secrest, born near Capon Springs, Va. She had married for her
first husband a certain Jacob Salladay. a very useful man, for he
had education enough to draw up legal papers and acted as esquire
to the time of his death in 1831. They had three children : George,
Jacob, Jr., and Mary Salladay (Trenner). She then married a
Mr. Stotts and had two children : Lucinda Stotts, who married
Jacob Spaid, and Clinton Stotts, who recently died in California.
Aunt Anne died about 1875, and Uncle Bill then married Fannie
Ayers, a widow, of Zanesville, Ohio, who outlived her aged hus-
band about six months, dying in the autumn of 1890.
Uncle Bill never suffered from the infirmities of age and did not
live long enough to get childish. His home was half a mile east
298 Spaid Genealogy
of the village of Pleasant City and he always rode a big black
mare grown old in his service. He came to town nearly every
day and even in his ninetieth year mounted into the saddle from
the ground without any help. He was tall and sinewy and had
great endurance. Of rather forbidding aspect, his blunt and im-
perious manner made most of his grandchildren afraid of him.
But while not mushy in his affections he had a kindly heart, was
a good neighbor, veracious and honorable in his dealings and had
a wide circle of friends. He was the best known back in Virginia
of all the Ohio Spaids, for he visited there neai"ly every year until
he got extremely old and his brothers and sisters were all dead.
Many of the older Spaids in Hampshire county recall his visits and
can repeat his jokes and witty sayings. He died of lagrippe, the
first and severest scourge of that disease in America being in
1890. He thought that he had only a bad cold, but his extreme
age made him an easy victim of that disease. His children thought
he was not properly cared for, but justice to his wife makes us
point out that she herself was old and nearly as sick as he was.
All his children lived in the community and were devoted to him.
Soon as they learned he was ill they came to care for him, but
the time had come for his translation and after a brief illness he
died March 28, 1890, and was buried at Mt. Zion.
By his first wife Mr. Spiad had ten children, as follows:
(4501) John Wesley Spaid (4511), Dec. 10, 1825-March 3,
1879.
(4502) George Spaid (4574), June 2, 1827-March 27, 1861.

Part One.
(4511) John Wesley Spaid (4501) was born, lived and died at
Pleasant City, Ohio. He married Elizabeth, daughtei* of Joseph
and Sarah (Campbell) Dyson. In eai'ly life he farmed, but later
owned and operated a tan-yard. A few years before his death he
built a large residence with a storeroom in one end of it, and here
he was keeping a harness-shop at the time of his death from tuber-
culosis. Twelve children were born to this worthy couple, and
half of them wei-e mere children when the father died. But the
mother was a cultured Dyson with a clear knowledge of the value
of education and home training, and with the assistance of her
young son, Aciuilla, she managed to keep the family together and
give the children a common school education. Four of them became
teachers. Four of the daughters had died when children, and
three other children died of tuberculosis in mature life, the daugh-

follows :
"I was sworn in at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis on May 2,
1917, and a week later was sent to Fort Hamilton, New York,
where I remained about ten days. From there I went by coast
steamer to Fortress Monroe, Va., and three days later sailed for
Colon, Panama, arriving there May 30th. I was assigned to the
15th Company, C. A. C, Fort Randolph, Canal Zone, Panama. We
were sent there to do guard duty along the canal. I was detailed
to do mapping work in the jungles, which lasted for nearly two
months. In July, 1918, I was made corporal and assigned to post
headquarters.
"In September I took an examination for Officers' Training
School, which I passed, and I sailed from Colon Sept. 22, landing
302 Spaid Genealogy '
at New Orleans Sept. 28, 191.8. From here I went by train to
Fortress Monroe, Virginia, where I was transferred to the Coast
Artilleiy School Troops and was assigiied to Co. 'C The armistice
being signed shortly after that, we were given our choice of being
discharged or continuing our studies for another month and re-
ceiving our commission. I had been in the service for nearly
nineteen months without a furlough, so I applied for discharge and
received it Nov. 22, 1919."

and reared in Pleasant City. Taught school for several years and
was principal of the Pleasant City schools. Taught with John
Bliss in the Norml school. Without evoi- being to college he passed
the examination and got a state high school certifictae. Then he
resolved to become a Lutheran minister and went to Wittenberg
College, Springfield, Ohio, where the faculty considered his experi-
ence as a teacher and his state certificate the equivalent of a
college education, and admitted him to the Divinity school. But
tuberculosis had marked him for her own and he was com-
pelled to move back to Pleasant City, in the Spring of 1896 and
died the following September. He was the closest chum the
writer ever had, helpful and inspiring always. He married Ella
Berry, of Kimbolton, Ohio, born May 3, 1870, and she survived
her husband not quite four years, dying June 13, 1900. They had
Spaid Genealogy 303
two children which at the father's request were put in the K. of P.
orphanage, Springfield, Ohio:

(4562) Ethel Spaid (4566), Dec. 28, 1893-March 26, 1919.
(4563) Rev. James Earl Spaid (4561). If the souls of the blest
are conscious of what goes on do-^AOi here then the spirit of James
Spaid rejoiced when his only son became a clergyman of the
Lutheran church. He was born in Pleasant City, schooled in
Wittenberg college and seminary, Springfield, Ohio, held pastor-
ates at various places in Ohio, and is now pastor of a Lutheran
church in Louisville, Ky. He married Ruth Albright, boni Sept. 3,
1892, and they have two daughters :

Spaid, was born in Pleasant City, Ohio, and reared for the most
part in Springfield, Ohio. She married William N. Peoples and
most of her married life was spent in Akron, Ohio. Tuberculosis,
which had carried off both her parents, attacked her and she
spent much time in a sanitarium in Akron. But it was all in vain ;
death claimed her March 26, 1919. One daughter had been bom
to them, who is now cared for by the paternal grandmother in
Cambridge, Ohio. Mr. Peoples has spent much time in the U. S.
Army and Navy.
(4567) Mary Ellen Peoples, Oct. 25, 1914-
(4568) Rev. E. Luther Spaid (4523) was bom and reared in
Pleasant City, taught school two years and entered Wittenberg
College, Springfield, Ohio, in 1891. Graduated with the A. B.
degree in 1897 and entered the Theological Seminary the same
Fall and graduated from that with the degree of B. D., receiving
at the same time the degree of A. M. Served pastorates at New-
ark, Ohio, where he organized the Holy Trinity Mission ; at Spring-
field, Ohio, and at Carey, Ohio. At the latter place he remained
fourteen years, resigning in 1921 to accept the pastorate of Calvary
Lutheran church, Chicago, 111. In June Wittenberg College gave
him the degree of D. D., so it is now Dr. Spaid. From all the
above it is easy to deduct that his ministry has been eminently
successful. June 26, 1900, Rev. Spaid married Rose Elizabeth
Schmidt, of Springfield, Ohio, bom May 13, 1875. Five children
have been born to them :

young children to rear by her own efforts. She was a mai'\^elous

Part Three.
(4622) Jacob Spaid (4503) was the third son of William and
Elizabeth Spaid, was born at Pleasant City, lived thei'e all his
life and died there. He was a farmer all his life, was a good
orchardist and kept bees, always had the first garden truck in the
country. For a man of limited education he was the best Sunday
school superintendent the Lutheran church ever had. If you did
not desire to know just what he thought about you, you did well
not to ask him, foi- he did not know how to flatter and always
spoke the plain, unvarnished truth. He married Lucinda Stotts
shortly after his father had married her mother, Aunt Anne, and
Mary Spaid had married the half brother, George Salladay. Oh,
the Spaids sometimes just carried off whole families. Three of
Uncle John's children married three LaFollettes of the same fam-
ily. Aunt Lucinda was an unusual woman. She was a good
housekeeper, an indulgent mother, the best of neighbors. She
seemed given to the contemplative life and would have made an
excellent religious. With proper environment we think she would
have been a painter or writer. Jake, like his father, was a great
joker, but while the wife would laugh at the jokes of others, wa
never heard her tell a joke nor an idle story. She was always
serious-minded and when left alone had a look in her eyes that
made you think of Mona Lisa, like one seeing into the future
life. Almost before dawn on a December morning of 1897 we
heard the Spaid conch-shell (the only dinner horn of the kind

in the neighborhood) blown lustily. Before it had ceased blowing
father and I were out of bed and half dressed, for we knew some-
thing was wrong at Spaids.' The home was only forty rods away
but when we arrived Mr. Spaid had breathed his last. He had not
been very well for a few days but thought it only a touch of
lagrippe. On waking at his usual rising time that morning he
remarked that he believed he would not get up for a while yet,
and turned over on his side as though to sleep. But the wife
heard the rattling in his throat and knew it was the dread mes-
senger. For several years Aunt Lucinda lived alone at the old
homestead, which was the last house at the east end of Main
street, then she lived with her daughter, Cora Norman, who lived
near by. The prolonged silence of her brother, Clinton, in the
west, saddened her, and she never fully recovered from the shock
of her grandson, Dwight's, tragic death. She died in 1911, loved

and respected by all who knew her. The children of this Spaid
family were as follows:
(4623) William Harrison Spaid (4632), May 26, 1854-May

(4624) Anna M. Spaid, April 28, 1856-March 14, 1872.

(4632) William Harrison Spaid (4623) has forty-seven years
in the schoolroom to his credit. No wonder he draws a pension.
The shame of it is that it should be so small. Most of his teaching
was done on a miserably small salary and his pension is based
on that salary. He would have rounded out a full half-centuiy as a
teacher but a few years since his hearing went bad and he had to
give up the schoolroom. Most of his teaching was done in southern
Guernsey and northern Noble counties, the writer having been
among his pupils. At present he is engaged in cataloging his
former pupils, many of whom, like himself, are grandparents. He
was born and reared in Pleasant City, married, in 1875, Mary M.
Corbett, born April 28, 1857, and has, for the most part, made his
home in Buffalo, where he has a good substantial home. Both he
and his son Dwight have visited in Virginia and are favorably
remembered by the Spaids of Hampshire county. Since the above
was written Mr. Spaid died very suddenly May 8th, 1922. He was
a good man and excellent citizen. He encouraged the writer to
prepare this story of the Spaids and gave all the assistance in his
power. The five children of this family are:

(4634) Martha Selah Spaid (4639), Nov. 4, 1878-

married Winnie Hutton. Oct. 16, 1916, and they live in Buffalo,
where he owns a bowling alley and pool hall. They have no

(4645) Perry A. Spaid (4625), the second son of Jacob and
Lucinda Spaid, was born and reared in Pleasant City, but when
he came to manhood's estate he went to northern Ohio to work.
Here he met and married, Dec, 25, 1882, Ettie Kneisley, a well-to-
do fanner's daughter, born Dec. 25, 1864, Mr, Kneisley was
mostly engaged in other business and Perry ran the farm. He
dropped dead in the field of heart disease and was found a short
time after by Luther's boys on their way home from school. His
only and much-loved daughter had died a few years before. His
widow now lives in Bucyrus, Ohio, with Ralph Spaid, one of
Luther's sons whom she almost raised. Of this marriage there
was one daughter:
(4646) Bessie F. Spaid, June 25, 1885-June 12, 1909.
(4647) Luther Clinton Spaid (4626) was born and reared in
Pleasant City, where he was familiarly known as Jeff Spaid. He
went to his brother's home near Bucyrus, Ohio, to work. Here
he married, Nov, 23, 1887, Effie Grogg, bom March 11, 1866.
They were fanner folks and after a while owned a small farm of
their own adjoining that of the brother Perry. Seven sons and
one daughter were born to this union. Fate seems to strike
harder at some families than others, but the stout heart and
steady hand will triumph over all difficulties. Luther died very
suddenly in February, 1920, and the beloved mother followed
March 12, 1921. The four oldest children have homes of their
own ; Ralph owns a grocery in Bucyrus, and lives with his aunt
Ettie; Paul, Elwood and Daniel farm near Bucyrus.

Di'. Kackley is a veterinary physician and surgeon, and their
home is in Marietta, Ohio. Dr. Kackley volunteered for service

Columbus, Ohio, in July, 1917. He was commissioned a second
lieutenant Aug. 27, 1917, and ordered to Camp Taylor, Louisville,
Ky., March 4, 1918. But we will let the doctor tell his story in
his own way :
"I was assigned as veterinarian to the 168th Brigade and made
a staff officer on General Wilder's staffs', he being in command of
the 168th Brigade of the 84th Division. May 22nd, the entire
division was moved to Camp Sherman, Ohio. We were there
three months waiting for sailing orders. Aug. 22, we started
east on our way overseas, and after a stop of two weeks at Camp
Mills, sailed Sept. 2 for Glasgow, Scotland, where we landed and
went by rail to Winchester, England. While there I visited the
famous old Cathedral where so many of England's kings are
buried; visited Oxford College; saw King Arthur's Round Table
in the hall of the Castle, and many other things of interest. From
Winchester we went to Southampton, and after night crossed
the channel to Havre, France.
312 Spaid Genealogy
"From Havre we were sent by rail to Perigueux, a small towrt
in the southern part of France about forty miles east of Bor-
deaux. I was still with Gen. Wilder's outfit, and we were quar-
tered at an old French chateau, Chateau Ferneau, occupied by a
Countess and her father and sister and a few old servants, while
numbers of German prisoners worked under guards making wine
and farming. While here I was promoted to first lieutenant. We
were quartered on the inhabitants and entertained royally until
one by one our division was broken up and sent where most
needed.
"In October I was ordered to report to Veterinary Hospital
No. 10 at Borbonne Las Bains, in the northern part of France.
This was quite a journey and 1 stopped for a brief visit in Paris
on my way. This hospital had a capacity for 1700 horses in
stables and 3000 in corral. We received a train load of wounded
horses every night from the front. We had three wards: one for
glanders, one for influenza, one for mange. 1 had 52 horses in
my ward with glanders that had to be killed. We had a personnel
of 352 men and from seven to eleven officers. Most of the enlisted
men were Texas Rangers.
"In January, 1919, I received a 'leave of absence' and with
Lieut. Bird, of Denver, Colo., took a trip to Paris, Marseilles, Nice
and Monte Carlo. It is impossible for me to describe this trip,
but from Nice to Monte Carlo we went by interurban and the
scenery was magnificent. The blue Mediterranean sea was on
our right hand and a chain of the Alps mountains on our left.
The wonderful climate; the orchards of oranges, grapes, English
walnuts ; the beautiful villas picturesquely situated on the mountain
side, made the journey a memorable one. We spent several days
at Nice, which is a famous sea-side resort, and one at Monte Carlo,
where we, of course, were much interested in the system of
gambling. Paris is also a wonderful city, and when there we took
in everything of interest.
"About Feb. 1, I received orders to proceed to Angers, from
there to Bordeaux, thence to La Rochelle, where I took a vessel
belonging before che war to a fruit company, 'Terrialba' by name.
There were 168 casual officers aboard. We stopped at Cardiff,
Wales, the largest coaling station in the world. The docks are
lined with vessels flying the colors of every nation. We spent
three days here and were seventeen days in reaching New York.
We landed March 1, went through inspection, took rooms at the
McAlpin hotel, and next day were ordered to Camp Dix, N. J. I
was discharged from the army March 9, 1919."

Part Four.
(4700) Mary Spaid (4504), the oldest daug-hter of William and
Elizabeth Spaid, was born and reared near Pleasant City, and in
1851 married George Salladay, son of Squire Jacob Salladay and
Anne Secrest, his wife, born in the same neighborhood March 27,
1829. The iron of life had entered deeply into his soul in early
life, for he was orphaned when two years old and had a pretty
tough time of it till he married Mary Spaid and settled down on
a fami. He was a good farmer and she was a hard worker and
good housekeeper. Why should they not get on? When a couple
attend strictly to their owni business and do their duty by God and
man, there is not much to say about them except' to overwork
the adjective "good" — good husband, good father, good citizen;
good wife, good mother, good neighbor. They lived together more
than sixty years without getting into divorce coui-t. They had no
lawsuits with their neighbors. They attended to their church
duties, and he to his duties as a citizen. Beside farming he bought
wool, and he always had money to loan, so he would be considered
a successful farmer. Mr. Salladay was of rather melancholy
temperament, but his wife was jolly and light-hearted, sound in
mind and body at eighty years old. But so devoted to him that
after his death, Jan. 21, 1912, she grieved herself to death in less
than fifteen months. These good people were the parents of four
children :
(4701) Lewis F. Salladay (4705), Dec. 15, 1852-Jan. 10, 1905.

(4705) Lewis F. Salladay (4701), the oldest son of Mary and
George Salladay, was bom and reared near Pleasant City. He
married, in June, 1874, Mary, the daughter of Jesse and Jane
(Clark) Johnson, born near Bluebell, Ohio, in 1857. They settled
on a farm about three miles west of the father's farm and were
living here at the time of Lewis's tragic death. He had gone over
to his father's farm rabbit hunting, and in climbing a rail fence
was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. His wife was
an excellent woman, devoted to hei- home, family and church.
After his death she lived with the children, all of whom were
married, till hei- own death, June 28, 1916. Four children were

only child of John Heaume and wife, French immigrants from
the isle of Guernsey. They settled on the Heaume farm, about
three miles from the old Salladay home, and raised their family
of four children here. Being Lutherans, the children were edu-
cated at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, and after gradu-
ating, their son married and settled in business there. Unable to
farm himself, Mr. Heamue sold the farm and he and the wife
also located in Springfield to be near the son. Mr. Heaume was
born near Buff"alo, Ohio, June 17, 1850, is a good business man
and an excellent citizen. For many years he has been badly
crippled from rheumatism. Mrs. Heaume is serious minded and
more resembles her father than the Spaids. Their four children :
(4716) Minola Millicent Heaume (4720), Sept. 28, 1874-
(4717) John Salladav Heaume (4723), July 23, 1876-

316 Spaid Genealogy
Here the grandfather sickened, died, and was buried, and the
young- man came home alone. It is from this ishmd in the Enghsh
channel that our home county gets its name of Guernsey. After
completing his education John married, June 7, 1904, Julia Douglas
Moler, born Feb. 8, 1883, and is engaged in business in Springfield.
They have three children :
(4724) Marjorie Amelia Heaume, Nov. 13, 1905-
(4725) Mary Catherine Heaume, June 29, 1909-
(4726) John Douglas Heaume, May 5, 1911-
(4727) Oella Joyce Heaume (4718) was born at the Heaume
homestead, attended school at Wittenberg College, married, Julv
15, 1903, Onan B. Drake, born at Mt. Zion, Sept. 30, 1874. He
taught school in Ohio and then located at Arvada, Colo., near
Denver, where he was superintendent of schools. Here the wife
died in 1920 and the remains were brought to Springfield for
inteiTnent. Prof. Drake is now superintendent of the Canon City,
Colo., schools. Two children were bora to them :
(4728) Roberta C. Drake, March 9, 1907-March 23, 1907.
(4729) John Heaume Drake, July 12, 1908-
(4730) Amy Alberta Heaume (4719) was bora at the Heaume
homestead near Buffalo, attended school at Wittenberg College.
Springfield, and taught in the Buffalo schools. May 16, 1906, she
married Dr. J. Emmett Secrest, son of Simon and Sarah (Tullus)
Secrest, of Mt. Zion, born March 30, 1876. The doctor is a
lineal descendant of the celebrated Judge Tullus who came to
Ohio from Virginia in an early day and was so popular with the
pioneers because of his superior education and knowledge of law
and his ability to draw up legal papers. Dr. Secrest graduated
from the dental department of the 0. S. U. and is located in
Cambridge, where he has a lucrative dental practice. They have
a fine bungalow home and four interesting children :
(4731) Robert Heaume Secrest, Mav 20, 1907-
(4732) Harriett Elizabeth Secrest, March 23, 1911-
(4733) Roberta Mabel Secrest, Nov. 14, 1913-
(4734) Sarah Rachel Secrest, Sept. 18, 1917-
(4735) Jacob W, Salladay (4703) was born at the home faiTn
near Pleasant City, married, Sept. 13, 1880, Charlotte Adair, bora
in the same neighborhood as himself, Nov. 7, 1860. They lived
for some years with his parents and he farmed the home place,
then pui'chased the adjoining fann on the east, where he had a
substantial home on the Cambridge road one mile out of Pleasant
City. Like his father, he was a successful farmer, but the tragic
death of his brother in 1905, followed closely by the death of his
father and mother, and, to crown all, the death of his devoted wife
Nov. 25, 1913, proved too much and both mind and body declined
rapidly and he died of hardening of the arteries of the brain
Nov. 30, 1915. He was supposed to be worth much money, but
a- small sum in a bank is all that was ever found. Incoherent
words uttered during his last illness led his relatives to think
Spaid Genealogy 317
money was concealed about the farm or in the cellar, but none has
been discovered. Two sons were the fruits of this marriage:
(4736) Waltz Sumner Salladay (4738), May 23, 1881-
(4737) Roy W. Salladay (4740), May 11, 1889-Nov., 1918.
(4738) Waltz Salladay (4736) and Martha Watson were mar-
ried Dec. 28, 1909. The wife is a daughter of Joseph Watson
and wife and was born in the Bluebell neighborhood, June 26,
1880. Waltz is a licensed pharmacist and owns a drug store in
Dayton, Ohio, where they have their home. One son has been
born to them :
(4739) William Salladay, Oct. 27, 1910-
(4740) Roy W. Salladay (4737), like his older brother, was
born at the Salladay homestead near Pleasant City ; after receiving
his schooling, became a bookkeeper for the Cambridge Colliers
Company, but died in 1918 during that dread scourge of the flu.
He had married, June 11, 1910, Myrtle Lewis, and they had their
home in Cambridge, where the widow still lives. One daughter
was bom to them :
(4741) Lucile Rose Salladay, June 10, 1912-
Part Five.
(4742) Barbara Spaid (4506) was pronounced by competent
judges to have been the best-looking young woman that ever
walked the streets of Pleasant City or Buffalo, and in her last
years she was still a sweet-faced old woman. She was the daugh-
ter of William and Elizabeth Spaid and was born at the old home
located between the two villages. Oct. 30, 1851, she married Ben-
jamin Trenner, born at the Trenner homestead about two miles
west of the Spaids, Sept. 19, 1830. He was a son of Henry Tren-
ner and Sarah Frye, and his paternal grandmother was Elizabeth
Secrest, born in Virginia, married to John Frye and coming to
Ohio after the birth of their six children. German was her native
tongue and we have been told she never learned to speak the
American language. To the best of our knowledge she was a
sister of Jacob Secrest, of Mt. Zion, and the aunt of Henry and
John, of Buffalo, and aunt to Henry Secrest, Anne Salladay, and
Elizabeth Gather, of Chaseville. But that is a little digression.
Mr. and Mrs. Trenner located on a good farm three miles out of
Pleasant City on the Cambridge road and lived happily together
for sixty years. He served in the Union army throughout the
Civil war. Like the Salladays, there is not much to say about
them. They were good citizens, good Lutherans, good neighbors,
good parents. All their relatives liked to go there, and enjoyed
having them come to visit them. He was a good farmer, and
Barbara was a first-class housekeeper. She died on the last day
of 1911 and he followed her to Paradise Sept. 9, 1912. They, and
their oldest son and his wife, are buried on the same lot in the
318 Spaid Genealogy
Cambridge cemetery. Four children were born to this worthy
couple :
(4743) William Leander Trenner (4747), July 27, 1852-
March 25, 1901).
(4744) Sarah Alice Trenner (4764), Nov. 7, 1855-
(4745) Mary Anne Trenner (4765), July 13, 1858-
(4746) Henry Melanchthon Trenner (4771), Nov. 3, 1863-
(4747) W. Leander Trenner (4743) was born at the old home
midway between Pleasant City and Byesville. On coming to
manhood's estate he married Elizabeth Grant, of Byesville. She
belonged to the Grant family, celebrated for intellect and produc-
ing beautiful women, and was born Oct. 16, 1857. Trenner en-
gaged in the mercantile business here for many years and both
were very active in church work. Later he removed to Zonesville,
where he engaged in business, dying there in 1909. After his
death the widow returned to Byesville and made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Davies. She died in February, 1915, and is
buried by the side of her husband in the Cambridge cemetery.
Six children were born to this couple, as follows :
(4748) Reuel A. Trenner (4754), April 22, 1879-

(4754) Reuel A. Trenner (4748) was boi-n in Byesville, reared,
for the most part, in Zanesville, though he passed much of his
life at the country home of his grandparents, where he was a
great favorite. He mai'ried Celia Emanuel, who was born Sept.
6, 1881, and they live in Cambridge, where Reuel works at the ii'on
mills. They have one daughter :

(4756) Rose Trenner (4755), the only child of Reuel and Celia
Trenner, was born and reared in Cambridge. She was educated

tory of Music, and is an excellent vocalist. In the Autunm of
1921 she married Oscar Burgess, a millworker, and their present
home is in Cambridge, Ohio.

in that city he married, Dec. 27, 1893, Harriett E. Brown, the
daughter of Rev. Brown of the Methodist Protestant church. She
was born Sept. 1, 1868. After closing out the shoe business they
lived for a number of years in New Concord to give the children
the advantage of attending Muskingum College. Recently they
returned to Cambridge, where they have a fine home in the eastern
part of the city, and Mr. Trenner is engaged in the grocery
business. He also owns the old home farm near Pleasant City
and is opening a coal mine on the same. The daughter attends
Muskingum College. Mrs. Trenner is a woman of unusual quali-
ties of mind and heart. The children are:

(4775) Willard Brown Treniier (4774) was born and reared in
Cambridge. Graduated from Muskingum College and now teaches
the Commercial department of the Barnesville high school. He
married. Oct. 27, 1921, Sarah Hibbai-d, of Barnesville, boi-n Jan.
5, 1902, and makes his home in that city. One daughter has been
born to Mr. and Mrs. Trenner:
(4776) Julia Trenner, Aug. 22, 1922-
Part Six.
(4777) Margaret Spaid (4507), daughter of William and Eliza-
beth Spaid, was born July 10, 1836, near Pleasant City, Ohio.
Being the youngest daughter in the family, she received more
schooling than the older sisters and was a very attractive young
woman, much sought after by the most desirable young men of
the community. She was almost painfully frank, not hesitating
to tell anybody what she thought of them. Some of the trite
sayings that she uttered half a century ago are still current in
the neighborhood. She met a cousin of hers that had a freckled,
homely-faced little son. "Lize, is that your young one?" she
inquired. "Yes, Margaret." "The ugly little devil! If he was
my child I would kill him." Spaid bluntness and truthfulness
were well exemplified in her. Hard work and plain speaking
were her strong points. She mari'ied, in February, 1855, George
LaFollette, a poor but hard-working young man of the neighbor-
hood, born in 1831, and by industry and frugality they accumu-
lated much land and property. It was generally conceded that
the Spaid girls were the best cooks in Guernsey county, but we
think Margaret the best of them all. She was an individual and
not a cypher; she thought on all subjects and was outspoken
about what she thought. She died Nov. 17, 1908, but the husband
survived till 1918. Four children were born of this union.
(4778) Hulda LaFollette (4782), born in Januarv, 1856-
(4779) William Luther Lafollette, born in 1859-died in 1864.
(4780) Jacob Austin LaFollette (4789), March 18, 1866-
(4781) G. Emmett LaFollette (4795), Sept. 7, 1876-Dec. 28,
1910.
(4782) Hulda LaFollette (4778), the oldest child of Margaret
and George LaFollette, was born in Pleasant City, Ohio, and in
January, 1874, married Di'. William Teter, at that time one of the
leading physicians of Guernsey count3^ born April 26, 1825. A
few years after their marriage he suffci'od paralysis and was
pretty much of an invalid to the time of his death, Dec. 23, 1890.
After the doctor's death she removed co Columbus, Ohio, that she
might give her children better school facilities than Pleasant City
afforded. Welch graduated in pharmacy, Sumner graduated from
Starling Medical College just fifty years afcer his father had
graduated from the same institution, and Millicent, an accom-
plished musician, gave lessons on the piano. Mrs. Teter makes
her home with her son, Dr. Sumner Teter, who is unmarried and
Spaid Genealogy 321
practices medicine in Toledo, Ohio. He volunteered and served
overseas in the World war, being an officer in the medical depart-
ment. The Teter children are as follows:
(4783) Welch Teter (4786), Oct. 13, 1874-Dec. 15, 1916.
(4784) Dr. Sumner Teter, born in 1876- Unm.
(4785) Millicent Teter (4788), born in 1879-
(4786) Welch Teter (4783), the oldest son of Dr. William and
Hulda (LaFollette) Teter, was born and reared in Pleasant City.
He completed his schooling in Columbus, Ohio, and located as a
druggist in Bainbridge, Ohio, owning his own store. He married,
Dec. 7, 1900, Mary Walley, who was born Nov. 19, 1879. After
Mr. Teter's death in 1916 his widow located in Columbus, where
she works as a stenographer. One son was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Teter :
(4787) John William Teter, Feb. 7, 1909-
(4788) Millicent Teter (4785) was born in Pleasant City,
graduated from the Columbus High school and was educated in
music. For many years she taught music in Columbus. She mar-
ried a Mr. Rumley, a traveling salesman, and they now live in
Tampa, Fla. They have no children.
(4789) J. Austin LaFollette (4780), son of Margaret and
George LaFollette, was born and reared near Pleasant City and
received all his schooling there. He did more hard work than any
two boys in that neighborhood. He was a member of the ama-
teur baseball team that Pleasant City boasted in that early day.
On reaching manhood he married Minnie Campbell, an excellent
young lady of Bufi'alo, Ohio, born there April 27, 1867. Two
daughters were born to them, then Mrs. LaFollette died, April 6,
1893. He married her sister, Lillie Campbell, Jan. 5, 1899, and
one daughter was born of this union. Mr. LaFollette was twice
elected Treasurer of Guernsey county. Mr. and Mrs. LaFollette
now live in Dayton, Ohio. The daughters of this family are:
First marriage:
(4790) Ural Idona LaFollette (4793), Sept. 3, 1890-
(4791) Roxie Love LaFollette, Feb. 1, 1892-Jan. 5, 1893.
Second marriage:
(4792) Pauline Love LaFollette (4794), Jan. 12, 1900-
(4793) Ural L LaFollette (4790), daughter of Austin and Min-
nie LaFollette, was born and reared in Guernsey county, Ohio.
Educated in the public schools of Cambridge, she clerked in the
Treasurer's office while her father was Treasurer. Since they
removed to Dayton she married an excellent young man, Frank
Ensign Richardson, of Battle Creek, Mich., but now an engineer
in the Aerial Service of the U. S. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson make
their home in Washington City. They have no children.
(4794) Pauline L. LaFollette (4791), only daughter of Austin
and Lillie LaFollette, was born and reared in Guernsey county
and educated in the Cambridge public schools. After the family
322
Spaid Genealogy
Spaid Genealogy 323
removed to Dayton, Ohio, she married Henry Halstead Hai-vey.
Mr. Harvey was in the World War and saw much service in
Europe. He is now traveling salesman and they have their home
in Indianapolis, Ind. They have no children.
(4795) Emmett LaFollette (4781), the youngest son of Mar-
garet and George LaFollette, was born and reared at Pleasant
City, Ohio. After completing the school course at home, his par-
ents sent him to Business College at Poughkeepsie, New York, and
on graduating from that institution he was employed as stenog-
rapher in the home office of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
New York City. He was steadily promoted, and at the time of
his death was in charge of the Renewal Department. He died of
pneumonia Dec. 28, 1910. His body was cremated and the ashes
placed in an uni now kept in New York City. Sept. 23, 1902, Mr.
LaFollette married Hulda Marguerite Weinsheimer, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Weinsheimer, of Wadsworth, Ohio. One
son was born to them who is now a student in the Akron High
School, in which city he and his mother make their home since
the father's death.
(4796) George Emmett LaFollette, Jr., Dec. 29, 1906-
Part Seven.
(4800) Michael Luther Spaid (4509) is the only living grand-
son of the great Progenitor. He is the sixth son of William and
Elizabeth (Secrest) Spaid, and was born near Pleasant City, Ohio,
May 5, 1840. When a young man he went to California by way
of New York and the Isthmus of Panama. Here he visited his
cousins George and Daniel Hellyer, who had gone out some years
before. He speaks kindly of them all, but especially praises Dan's
wife. She was a strong-minded Irish woman of great intelligence.
The extreme west not appealing to him, Luther returned to Ohio,
where he taught school for many years. The writer, when quite
young, was one of his pupils, and distinctly remembers his teaching
singing, something unusual in that early day. One song was
about the King of France marching up the hill and then back
again, and at one place in the chorus he permitted us to accent
the music by pounding the desks vigorously. I have often won-
dered why, and have concluded it was to drown our miserable
voices and give the teacher "surcease of sorrow" for attempting
music in that school.
May 11, 1865, he married Rachel Ann Jackson, a very intellectual
woman whose history briefly is as follows: A brother of the late
Samuel Jackson, of Pleasant Cicy, had married a Miss Fox of
Noble county, and gone to Missouri in the early forties. Both he
and his wife sickened and died, victims of the malarial climate
of those early times, leaving two little girls. The brother Samuel
lived with chem at the time of the parents' death and, though only
a young man, he brought those babies all the way from Missouri
by himself, and marrying Virginia Trott a year or two later, he
324 Spaid Genealogy
raised the older girl as his own daughter. Mary Jane Jackson,
the younger girl, was raised by her mother's people near Ava, Ohio.
Well, Rachel Ann Jackson grew to womanhood in Pleasant City,
and at a very early age began to teach school. From the very
beginning she was a howling success — a natural teacher. After
her first year of teaching, I think she never applied for a school.
The school trustees sought her and urged her to teach their school.
After marrying Mr. Spaid, they both continued to teach, usually
in adjoining districts. Luther was a good teacher, as his many
old pupils will rise to testify. Three children were bom to this
well-mated couple and the two older had read several books before
they were six years old, so well had their mother taught them.
But Death had marked this brilliant teacher, good wife, and de-
voted mother for his own, and she died Nov. 24, 1874, having been
born Dec. 6, 1846. Her death was universally lamented in the
southern half of Guernsey county, where she was best known.
Oct. 21, 1877, Mr. Spaid married Elizabeth H. Hill, the daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Noah Hill, of Senecaville, Ohio. Dr. Hill was a
celebrated practitioner in Guernsey county for half a hundred
years. She was born Oct. 25, 1842, and is therefore in her eight-
ieth year. Mr. Spaid gave up teaching and for many years fol-
lowed farming. For a time they lived in Washington City and
Luther's keen intellect thoroughly enjoyed loafing in the galleries
of Congress and listening to the oratorical effort of our leading
statesmen. While living in Washington he visited the Spaids of
Hampshire county and thoroughly enjoyed himself. He brought
back relics of the old Spaid home near Hooksmills.
But a life of idleness palls on a Spaid, so he moved back to Ohio
and lives in Pleasant City. His farm is nearly three miles east of
town, but except in mid-winter there are few days on which he
does not go to the farm, often walking, and do a day's work. He
is very hale in body and sound in mind for a man of eighty-two
years. His wife is an intelligent, sweet-faced old lady, somewhat
crippled from rheumatism, but well-read on all topics of the day

CHAPTER IX.
The Frye Family.
(4815) Nancy Spaid (10), the youngest daughter of George
and Elizabeth Spaid, was born in Hampshire county and brought
to Ohio when about twelve years old. Jan. 15, 1822, she married
William Frye, who was born in Virginia Jan. 1, 1793. They
located on an excellent farm three miles south of Pleasant City
and near to the Mt. Zion Lutheran church. Mr. Fiye died May
28, 1845, and left the care of their six children to the widowed
mother. But Aunt Nancy was equal to the occasion, for the two
oldest children were well-grown boys and in that day all children
were taught to work. They had one of the best farms in the
valley, which was cleared and well cultivated under her super-
vision. She lived nearly forty years after her husband's death
and saw all her children married and in homes of their own. She
enjoyed the respect of all her neighbors and the love of the numer-
ous relatives who hailed her visits with delight, for she was an
excellent talker, was well-up on the history of the Spaids, and had
made several visits to the relatives back in Virginia. The writer
was more than fourteen years old when Aunt Nancy died and
much of the early family history was learned from her. She died
Dec. 9, 1884, and was sincerely mourned by a wide circle of rela-

(4950) Mary Anne Frye (4819), the daughter of Nancy and
William Frye, was born at the old homestead near Mt. Zion and
grew to womanhood there. Jan. 20, 1853, she married Uriah
Johnson, a farmer whose sister had married her eldest brother,
James. They continued to farm in Noble county for many years;
in fact all the family were born and the older ones grown when
the family removed to the west, considering that the better place
for farmer folks. For a time they lived in Missouri, but later
removed to Oklahoma, settling near the central part of the state.
The mother died here in 1902. The father, who was bom April
18, 1826, and was a Union soldier in the Civil war, died Jan. 3,

(5057) Harry E. McDonald (5054) was born on a farm near
New Concord, Ohio, graduated from the Academy there, then went
to Clevehmd, Ohio, where he works for a manufacturing- firm.
Sept. 29, 1921, he married Marie Ponder, of Clevehmd, and they
reside in that city.
(5058) James S. Fiye (5045) was born near Pleasant City,
Ohio, and spent his early years in Guernsey county. At present
he is a mechanic and lives in Cleveland, Ohio. May 28, 1892, he
married Sadie Kibler, of Dell Roy, Ohio, but divorced her in 1897.
June 12, 1913, he mai-ried Ada Jennings, of Farnham, W. Va.,
who was born in 1892. He has one son by the first marriage and
two by the second :
(5059) Earl J. Frye, March 11, 1893-

(5061) William Edward Frye, Jan. 8, 1916-

ant City, Ohio, but spent most of her life in the city. June 24,
1914, she married Frank B. Keating, a structural engineer, born
Feb. 7, 1876, in Columbus, Ohio. They live in Cleveland, Ohio,
but have no children.
Part Six.
(5063) Margaret Jane Frye (4281) was the youngest child of
Nancy and William Frye, and the last of the family to survive,
dying in Mai'ch, 1919. She was born at the old homestead near
]\It. Zion, and being the youngest member of the family was given
greater advantages for schooling and travel than the other chil-
dren. She made two journeys into Virginia when a young lady,
but as nearly as we can understand most of hei- visits must have
been made to the Fryes, her father's people. March 2, 1862, she
married John G. Trott, born in 1839, died in 1878, a farmer, and
they went to make their home in Missouri. Mr. Trott was injured
by a bulk of tobacco falling on him, and they returned to Ohio,
where he lingered for some months and then died. After they
had been married many years two daughters were born to them.
Margaret Jane was an intellectual woman, proud of our German
ancestry — taught to be thus by her mother — and very much wor-
ried by America's entry into the war. Finally she decided that it
was not the German people but their rulers that were responsible
for the war, and as a matter of course, she was patriotic enough
to desire America to win out. She lacked the energy and vim
that characterized her mother, due possibly to a life of suffering,
for Dr. Teter, the Frye physician, said she suffered more than
even her friends supposed. The last years of her life were spent
with her daughter, Anna Martin, in (Columbus, Ohio, and she lies
buried in a cemetery in that city. The daughters :
(5064) Anna Trott (5066), Aug. 22, 1875-
(5065) Nina Trott (5072), June 7, 1878-
Spaid Genealogy 343
(5066) Anna Trott (5063) did not have a very happy childhood,
for her father died when she was but three years old, and the
mother being something of an invalid she made no effort to keep
the family together, so Anna was farmed out first with one aunt
and then another, all good women but for the most part aged and
not desiring to be burdened with the care of the child. She gath-
ered some schooling, had considerable talent and enough Spaid
pride not to remain where she was not wanted. So she went to
Columbus, Ohio, and worked her own way. Here she met and
married John C. Martin, a railway contractor and bridge-builder.
He was born in Bellaire, Ohio, Dec. 7, 1867, and died in Columbus,
July 5, 1909. Anna is a community nurse, and her oldest son
being married, the second boy, Jake, a sturdy lad of nineteen, helps
ihe -mother make a good living. The children:
(5067) Earl G. Martin (5070), Sept. 21, 1892-
(5068) Reynold Jacob Martin, Oct. 7, 1903-
(5069) Blanche M. Martin, Sept. 29, 1906-
(5070) John C. Martin, Jr., March 13, 1909-Nov. 16, 1911.
(5071) Earl G. Martin (5066) was born and reared in Columbus,
Ohio. He married Marie Davis, who was born Nov. 27, 1894.
They have one daughter:
(5072) Vivian June Martin, Jan. 16, 1921-
(5073) Nina Trotl (5064) was born the same year her father
died but had a happier childhood than her sister, Anna^ for she
was given a home by that kind-hearted woman, Mary Jane Hellyer
LaFollette, her mother's cousin, and practically raised as her own
daughter. March 8, 1905, she married William Gardner, a miner
and millman, born Oct. 22, 1879. They live in East Cambridge,
Ohio, and have one daughter :
(5074) Doris Edna Gardner, Feb. 7, 1912-
The Secrest Twins — Harrison and Madison.
CHAPTER X.
Families Allied to the Spaids.
Many times we have had members of the family express a wish
that we would "tell them something about the other side of the
house." Our task was already of herculean proportions, so that it
was impossible to comply with the wish and prosecute research
work in a systematic manner, but in tracing down Spaids we
were brought into many families and were given access to many
-family records. To copy the entire record was a comparatively
easy job, even though we needed only a part of it for our work.
These collected family records are published in this chapter with
the hope that someone more interested in that particular family
than the editor will take it as a nucleus and reconstruct and expand
the record into a flourishing family tree. There are several large
families into which the Spaids have married frequently that we
would be pleased to have given, but we never came across the family
record of the original family, and to run them down individual
at a time was an impossible task. As to allied families in Virginia,
our stay in that state was too short to give attention to any fam-
ilies other than the Spaids.
The George Cale Family.
Naturally the family that should occupy the first place in this
chapter is the Cale, for it was in this family that the Great Pro-
genitor got his wife. The Cale family was of German origin, the
original spelling of the name being Kale, and sometimes Kahl. We
were told that there are no Gales in Hampshire country at the
present time, and all the Gales we know in Ohio are those descended
Spaid Genealogy 345
from George Gale, a bi-other of Elizabeth Gale Spaid. These two
children are all we can be certain about. Their father was John
Gale, a Revolutionary soldier, settled at that early day on the wxst
bank of Gapon river. He had a good farm and the river here
being shallow and having a good bottom, it was considered one
of the best fords on the river, and, naurally, was known as Gale's
ford. At one time the family must have been numerous, for there
is a cemetery on the Gale farm and the late John Gale, of Lore
Gity, Ohio, told us last year that the cemetery was full of Gales.
However that may be, all we know is that Elizabeth Gale married
George Spaid and late in life they came to Ohio. That her brother
George Gale was born in 1770, married Mary (The mon-
ument says, "Mary, his wife.") ; that he brought all his children
and settled near his relatives, the Spaids, and that he died Dec. 18,
1861, and his wife died in 1869, and both are buried in the Mt.
Zion cemetery. His oldest son, John Gale, was in the war of 1812.
Ten children were bom to Mr. and Mrs. George Gale, as follows :
1. John Gale, born Nov. 17, 1794- Married Rachel Gross.
2. Jacob Gale, born May 24, 1796- Married Anne Groves.
3. Elizabeth Gale, born Aug. 24, 1798- Married Robert Taylor.
4. Ghristina Gale, b. Feb. 2, 1800- Married Elijah Thompson.
5. Jesse Gale, born Feb. 22, 1802-
6. William Gale, born May 12, 1804-
7. Sarah Gale, born Dec. 29, 1806- Married Stephen Hutchison.
8. Anne Gale, born in September, 1808- Married Stephen Reed.
9. Gornelias Gale, b. Feb. 19. 1810- Married Susannah Singer.
10. Henry Gale, born Dec. 4, 1812-died in 1901. Married Gor-
delia Reed.
The Frederick Secrest Family.
The Secrest family is of German origin but had been in America
at least half a hundred years before the Golonists revolted against
England. The fact that the older Secrests could speak German
means nothing, for the first immigrants from that nation to
America invariably settled in colonies and used their own lan-
guage. The most famous of these colonies were Germantown,
near Philadelphia, and that at Winchester, Va, Gharles Secrest
was a private in Gapt. Daniel Morgan's Riflemen during the Revo-
lutionary war. At this date it does not seem possible to get an
accurate beginning of the family in America. It is a very com-
mon name, found in almost every state in the Union. After care-
fully going over the known facts in the family history with the
Secrests still living in Hampshire county (the original home of
the Ohio Secrests), we concluded there must have been two Fred-
erick Secrests, father and son, for while everybody in the country
called Jacob Secrest "Granddaddy," John and Henry at Buffalo
called him "Uncle Jacob." Now it is well known that the father of
John and Henry Secrest was Frederick Secrest of Hampshire
county. And it was always given out in our family that the father
of Jacob Secrest was Frederick Secrest. It is possible that Jacob
346 Spaid Genealogy
was a half-brother to John and Henry and that in teaching their
children to call him "Uncle" they, too, adopted the term. But until
we get more light on the subject we will classify the family as
follows :
Frederick Secrest. First wife's name unknown. Second
wife was Catherine , born Nov. 30, 1754, died June
5, 1822.

ter IV.
8. Rebecca Secrest (Fishel), May, 1788-May, 1820.

The Harrison Secrest Family.
Harrison and Madison Secrest were twin brothers, the oldest of
the family of Isaac and Mary Secrest, and were born a half mile
from the Mt. Zion church, Dec. 26, 1822. When young they
worked on their father's farm and on reaching manhood's estate
they were associated together in business. At the close of the war
they o\\aied woolen factories and flour mills at both Cambridge and
Pleasant City. It is possible that they had overreached them-
selves in money matters and the panic of '73 overwhelmed them
financially. Madison took his family to Iowa about 1876 and lived
the remainder of his life on a farm near Guthrie Center. Harri-
son went to Colorado for a short time and then returned to Pleas-
ant City and kept hotel all the rest of his life. He always had
faith in the future of his home town — had built a two-room school-
house when his contract with the school board had called for only
one; built the hotel now occupied by Samuel Finley; the brick
building now owned by his daughter, Mary Stranathan ; thus at-
testing his faith by works. He sufi'ered a stroke of paralysis in
March of 1893 from which he never fully recovered, dying Feb. 5,
1894. The first mine in the community had been opened the same
year he was sti'icken with paralysis, and he recognized it as the
beginning of the prosperous times he had always felt were in
store for the village.
For his first wife Mr. Secrest had mari'ied Hulda Thompson, the
daughter of Abraham and Rachel (McCreary) Thompson, who
was born Sept. 17, 1823, and after the birth of one son had died
Oct. 14, 1849. His second wife was Matilda Elizabeth Allison,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Allison, born 1831. Ten children were
born of this union and then the wife died of tuberculosis, Oct. 30,
1871, and is buried at Mt. Zion. He then married Mrs. Clara
Knowlton, but some years later they were divorced. Mrs.
Sarah C. Davis was his fourth wife and outlived him many
years, dying about the time of the World war at her daughter's
home in Zanesville. The children of this family were as follows:

The Madison Secrest Family.
Madison Secrest, son of Isaac and Mary Secrest, and twin
brother of Harrison Secrest, was born at the home farm near
Mt. Zion, Dec. 26, 1822. For many years he was associated with
his brother Harrison in business, but about 1876 he removed with
his family to Iowa and located on a farm near Guthrie Center.
He followed the calling of a farmer for the remainder of his life.
He had married in early life, Jane Rhodes, a member of the cele-
brated Rhodes family of Noble county, a woman of vigorous intel-
lect. After the wife's death the youngest daughter, Columbia,
continued to care for the aged father till his death about 1904. The
following children were born of this marriage :
1. John Secrest, now deceased.
2. Emeline Secrest (Stoddard), lives in Arkansas.
3. Rose Secrest, lives in California.
4. Minerva Secrest, married Manning Stires. They live in
California.
5. Pearl Secrest is a guard in the Missouri State Prison,
Springfield.

The Jacob F. Secrest Family.
Jacob F. Secrest was the son of Isaac and Mary Secrest and was
born at the old homestead near Mt. Zion. He was proverbially
light hearted and unusually gifted in music. He always could play
the "fiddle" and had a wonderful voice for singing. These very
gifts brought him the censure of his austere mother, who had some
notions all her own. He married, Jan. 15, 1857, Eliza Shriver,
born Jan. 7, 1840, and after living a short time in Pleasant City,
located on a farm just west of town, where they continued to live
all the remainder of their lives. Jacob had been reared in the
Lutheran faith, but when young had joined the M. E. church and
was a class-leader all his life. Most of his children, like himself,
were gifted in music, and in that early day this family alone fre-
quently furnished the whole choir and organist for the church
service. Mr. Secrest alone was equal to a choir and could fill the
old M. E. church with melody. These parents had the unusually
large family of seventeen children, thirteen of whom grew to
manhood and womanhood and are still living. The mother was a
352 Spa ID Genealogy
kindly dispositioiiod woman, greatly beloved by her family, her
neighbors and all the Secrest connection. The father, who was
born July 19, 1831, died March 30. 1901, and the mother survived

The Secrest-Finley Family.
John Finley belonged to a Pennsylvania family that had mi-
grated to Ohio at an early day. He was born in Guernsev countv
July 3, 1825. Feb. 14, 1850, he married Mary Anne ' Secrest,
daughter of Isaac and Mary Secrest, and born at the old home
place near Mt. Zion, Oct. 17, 1833. They were farmer folks and
owned the farm on which most of the village of Derwent is now
built, but had gone security for the Secrest brothers and in the
crash all of them lost their property. The Finley family removed
to Cambridge and here the old folks spent their declining years.
Mr. Finley died Sept. 26, 1895, and the mother followed him into
the shadows May 31, 1903. Both are bui'ied in the ]\It. Zion

The Virginia Abraham Secrest Family.
Abraham Secrest was the son oi' Frederick and Catherine Se-
crest, therefore a brother of John and Henry of Buffalo, Ohio, and
of Valentine, of Virginia. He married Katherine Rudolph and
they had about the finest farm on the Capon river — the one now
owned by the Cline Brothers, at Yellow Springs. Eight children
were born to these parents, but it would seem that only Joseph
married. He married Christina Spaid (See Chapter II, Part 2),
removed to Ohio, where he died in a short time, and is buried in
the Buffalo cemetery. George died (probably young) and is
buried at Hebron cemetery ; John grew to manhood and died near
Buffalo, Ohio; Fred was killed in the Civil war and is buried at
Hebron. He was said to be an excellent young man. Just after
the Civil war, dominated by Morgan and Christina, they sold the
farm and parents and all the children living at that time removed
to the west, living a while in Missouri, but finally locating at Cot-
tonwood Falls, Kans., where the parents died ; the mother dying-
Sept. 28, 1871, according to the entry in the Hebron church
book, where a funeral service was held for her. All these children
are without doubt dead by this time. Algernon Orndorff had been
taken west with the family and after the parents' death it was
reported that he was adopted by Christina, and that they had
removed to Oklahoma City. The names of these children, Morgan
and Eliza being twins, are:
1. George Secrest, probably died in childhood.
2. John Secrest, died unmai'ried near Buffalo, Ohio.
3. Joseph Secrest, born in 1826-March 31, 1853.

The Valentine Secrest Family.
Valentine Secrest, the son of Frederick and Cathei-ine Secrest,.
and younger brother to John and Henry Secrest, who settled at
Buffalo. Ohio, was born in Hampshii-e counyt, Va., Nov. 7, 1793,
and died at the old homestead in the same county, Dec. 16. 1879.
About 1820, he married Margaret C. Plum, who was born March
31, 1796, and died Oct. 14, 1851. Mr. and Mrs. Secrest owned a
good farm on the west bank of Capon river, about two miles north
of Hebron Lutheran church, of which church they were communi-
Spaid Genealogy 355
cants. In his latter days Mr. Secrest was a home missionary and
made regular trips around over the neighborhood of Timber Ridge
to read the Scriptures and pray with his neighbors. He is still
remembered as "Uncle Felty," and stories of his piety are re-
counted. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Secrest. One
son died in infancy ; Henry, Samuel and Abraham grew to man-
hood but left no heirs. Nancy married but left no heirs. Fred-
erick reared his family near Capon Springs ; J. Luther married

The Henry Secrest Family.
Henry Secrest, a nephew of Jacob Secrest, Sr., was bom and
reared in Virginia, migrated to Ohio and settled a'bout four miles
northeast of his uncle's home. He married Catherine Clowser in
Virginia, and the older children may have been bom there. Eleven
children were bom to them, but all are now dead except Rachel
Hellyer, and most of them are buried in the Nicholson cemetery :
1. Elizabeth Secrest, died in childhood.

The Secrest-Cather Family.
Sarah Secrest was a sister of Henry Secrest and a niece of
Jacob Secrest, Sr. She was bom in Virginia, married William
Gather and they went to Ohio, where they reared a family of
eight children. The mother died when the children were half
grown and the responsibility of the household fell on the daughter,
Rachel. About 1850, the sons being grown and most of them
married, they went west in five canvas-covered wagons, accom-
panied by their aged father and their relative, James Secrest, and
356 Spaid Genealogy
his family. They went to southwest Missouri and settled in the
neighborhood of Joplin. When the war came on they had some
stirring times, but the hot-headed old father was there to direct
affairs, so they gave a pretty good account of themselves. The
Cather family:
1. James Gather, settled in Indiana.
2. John Gather, went to Missouri.
3. Sarah Gather, married Fred Secrest and settled in Indi-
ana, then Illinois,
4. Rachel Gather, married Russell Kackley and lived at Mt.
Zion, Ohio.
5. William Gather, went to Missouri.
6. Henry Gather, went to Missouri.
7. Noah Gather, died in Ohio at the age of 15 years before the
family went west.
8. Joseph Gather, went to Missouri.
The Secrest-Salladay Family.
Anne Secrest, the sister of Henry and Sarah Secrest and the
niece of Jacob Secrest, was born and reared in Virginia. On
reaching womanhood she married Jacob W. Salladay and they
went to try their fortune in the new country of Ohio. Mr. Salla-
day had more than the average education, so he proved an excel-
lent man for that western country. He could draw up legal
papers and, though young, he was made 'squire and held that posi-
tion till his death in 1831. Three children had been born to them.
The widow afterward married a gentleman named Stotts and two
children resulted from this union. Some years after Mr. Stotts'
death she married William Spaid, with whom she lived till her
death in 1875. The children of this family :
First marriage:
1. Mary Salladay, married John Trenner. Byesville, Ohio.
2. George Salladay, married Mary Spaid. Pleasant Gity, Ohio.
3. Jacob Salladay, married Mary Ann Secrest. Washington
State.
Second marriage:
4. Lucinda Stotts, married Jacob Spaid. Pleasant Gity, Ohio.
5. Glinton Stotts went to Galifornia. Probably never married.
The Secrest-Fishel Family.
The Fishel family is of German origin but was undoubtedly in
America before the outbreak of the Revolutionary war, for Philip
Fishel was bom in Virginia in 1776. Oct. 2, 1806, he married
Rebecca Secrest, daughter of Frederick and Gatherine Secrest.
She was bom in May, 1788, and after giving him six children,
four girls and two boys, she died in May, 1820. She and the two
sons are buried by the side of her parents in the Hebron cemeteiy
(Lutheran) on the west bank of the Gapon river. In July, 1820,
Mr. Fishel married Gatherine Trenner, daughter of Henry and
Spaid Genealogy 357
Elizabeth (Secrest) Trennei-, a niece of his first wife, and they
soon after brought the four little girls and came to Ohio, settling
near Pleasant City. Mr. Fishel died May 6, 1842, but his second
wife, who was born Sept. 7, 1793, lived" till Feb. 15, 1876. The
children of the first marriage have the date of birth and christen-
ing recoixied in the church records of the Lutheran Hebron church,
Hampshire county, Va. The old family Bible, printed in German
and bound in leather-covered boards with two heavy clasps, is
nearly good as new and is in the possession of the venerable
Philip Fishel, of Pleasant City. The children of the Fishel family :
First marriage :
I. Catherine Fishel, born Aug. 16, 1807- Married
2. John Fishel, born May 6, 1809-died in July, 1820.

The Secrest-Trenner Family.
Henry Trenner was a Hessian soldier and was captured at
Trenton on that famous Christmas eve when Washington crossed
the Delaware. Kept a prisoner of war at Winchester, he elected
to remain in America at the close of the war and was not ex-
changed. He married Elizabeth Secrest, who was bom in Vir-
ginia, and undoubtedly all their children were born in that state
before they migrated to Ohio. They settled in the southern part
of Guernsey county, and six children were born to them. It is
said that Elizabeth Secrest Trenner, who lived to a great age,
358 Spaid Genealogy
never leanied to talk American. The children of this family-
have been dead for many years:

Henry F. Frye, May 14, 1803-Jan. 6, 1887.
The Henry Trenner Family.
Henry Trenner, Jr., and his wife, Sarah Frye, were both born in
Virginia. It is probable the two families were friends and neigh-
bors back there before they came to Ohio and settled on adjoining
farms. Eight sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Trenner, but all are
now dead :
1. John F. Trenner. Married
Mary Salladay, and they settled near Byesville, Ohio.

The First F^ye Family.
Henry Frye, Jr., the son of Henry Frye, Sr., was born in Ger-
many in August, 1724. On reaching manhood he came to America
where he married, about 1760, Fanny , a Cherokee Indian
girl, born July 30, 1738, and died Nov. 10, 1805. They lived in
Virginia and six children were bom to them. Mr, Frye died
April 13, 1792, and most of his children afterward migrated to
Ohio. The names of these children with dates are as follows:
1. Henry Frye III, July 28, 1762-April 21, 1811.

360 Spaid Genealogy
The James Albin Family.
James Albin was a Revolutionary soldier. He lived in Virginia
and we cannot now ascertain the name of his first wife. She died
leaving four children and he then married Barbara Hoover and
for some time lived in Hampshire county, Va. The records of the
Hebron Lutheran church begin with the year 1789 and we found
that his daughter Lea was christened there that year. Several
of his children were christened there, but the last entiy was for
Nancy, born in 1800. Polly Albin, born in 1807, was not mentioned
in the record, so that it is possible the family came to Ohio soon
after 1800. He located with his family on a farm just north of
the present town-site of Pleasant City. Here he died about 1825
and was buried in the Hopewell cemetery, located close to his
farm. His widow mari'ied George Spaid, who had lost his wife
in 1821, and with him she lived till his death in 1838. The widow
lived to a great age and passed her last years with her daughter
and son-in-law, Peter Jordan and wife, near Hirmsburg, Ohio. The
names of the Albin children follow :
First marriage :
1. Rebecca Albin, married John Slater. She died in 1828 and
is buried at Mt, Zion.
2. Sarah Albin, married Jacob Slater, brother of John. Late
in life they went to Indiana, and died at Hartford City.
3. George Albin married and died at St. Clairsville, Ohio. Na
heirs.
4. James Albin drifted to the South. Nothing is known of him.
Second marriage :
5. Elizabeth Albin, married Joseph Clark. Both died near
Hartford City, Ind.
6. William Albin, married Nancy Clark and they located in
Vinton county, Ohio.
7. Lea Albin, married William Carroll and they located near
Crooked Tree, Ohio.
8. Rachel Albin, married Peter Jordan and they lived in Noble^
county, Ohio.
9. John Albin, married Lydda . He died of rabies.
The widow and children lived near Pleasant City, left there'
and were lost.
10. Delila Albin, married Samuel Leard located in Illinois.
11. Anne Marie Albin, born Dec. 25, 1797- Probably died un-

10. Abraham Peter Albin, April 3, 1840-April 22, 1863.
11. Martha Jane Albin (Dyson), May 30, 1842- Living at
Cambridge, Ohio.
The John Slater Family.
John Slater was a great deer hunter. He and his brother,
Jacob, were descended from an old patroon family that settled
on the banks of the Hudson river when the colony was known as
New Netherland. John was born in 1780, and wandered down into
the mountains of Virginia, where he married Rebecca, the oldest
daughter of James Albin and wife. He loved the frontier and
soon after marrying he and his little family and the large Albin
family came to Ohio and settled near where Pleasant City now
stands. The wife died in 1828 and was the first person buried
in the Mt. Zion cemetery, the land having been given by her son-
in-law, Isaac Secrest, for cemetery purposes. Three daughters
were born of that union. Some time later Mr. Slater married a
widow named Polly McLaughlin and one son was born to them.
There may have been more children of this marriage but we are
unable to name them at this time. The boy was named Albert
Slater and on reaching manhood went to Missouri and married and
left a family still located in Jasper county, Mo. After the second
wife's death Mr. Slater lived with his children and grandchildren,
especially Levi Secrest, in Pleasant City. He lived to a great age
and when old enjoyed entertaining the youngesters with his stories
of pioneer life and hunting. He had been a soldier in the war of
1812. His home-farm is now owned by Wilber Gregg, on the hill
near Pleasant Grove. He died at the home of his niece, Rebecca
Larrick, where he had gone for a visit, in 1871, and is buried by
the side of his two wives at Mt. Zion. We think Harriett Rigdon
and Nancy Lyons were daughters of the second marriage — pos-
sibly others. Of the following we are certain :
First marriage:
1. Mary Slater, married Isaac Secrest.
2. Rebecca Slater, married Lemuel Bethel.
3. Barbara Slater, married James Mendenhall.
Second marriage:
4. Albert Slater.
362 Spaid Genealogy
The Jacob Slater Family.
Jacob Slater also enjoyed frontier life. He also married a
daughter of James Albin, Sarah by name. They probably came
from Virginia to Ohio at the same tim(> that James Albin and John
Slater removed their families. Jacob located near Mt. Zion on a
farm and eleven children were born to them. After the older
children were grown and married, the entire family, with one ex-
ception, migrated to Indiana and settled in Blackford county. This
exception was his daughter, Eliza Slater, who had married Benja-
min Larrick, a son of Jacob Larrick and wife, and continued to
live on their farm at Mt. Zion till death claimed them. Jacob
Slater and wife did not live to be very old in Indiana, that climate
in an early day being very malarial. The family scattered through-
out the west and all the children have been dead for many years :
1. James Slater, married Jane M. Kii'kpatrick.
2. Eliza Slater, married Benjamin Larrick.
3. Isaac Slater, married Lavina Slonaker.
4. Thomas Slater, married Mary Anne Hart.
5. Maria Slater, married Lewis Kirkpatrick.
6. Keziah Slater, married Jonathan Hughes.
7. John Salter, married Mariah Hughes.
8. William Slater, died unmarried.
9. Elizabeth Slater, married William Hellyer.
10. Rachel Slater, married Washington Reasoner.
11. Nancy Slater, married Stephen McGath.
The Jacob Larrick Family.
The Larrick family, like the Secrest and Frye families, was
evidently in America before the outbreak of the Revolutionaiy
war, and therefore belonged to the Palatine settlers that had their
settlement near Winchester in Virginia. Jacob Larrick, who mi-
grated from Vii'ginia and founded the Larrick family in Ohio, was
twice mai'i-ied. His first wife dying, left him four children, and
it is more than probable that his second marriage had taken
place in Virginia before he removed to Ohio, and settled near
where the Mt. Zion Lutheran church was afterward built. All the
eleven children of this family are now dead, the last to die being
the venerable Leah Secrest, of Edgerton, Kans.
Jacob Larrick, born in Virginia, June 30, 1773-died at Mt. Zion,
Ohio. Married Catherine Snapp, boi-n in Virginia, Aug. 17, 1781-
died in Virginia. He then married Catherine Spillman, born in
Vrginia, March 2, 1785-died at Mt. Zion, Ohio.
First marriage :
1. Elizabeth Larrick (Nicholson). Sept. 27, 1805-
2. Benjamin Larrick, March 1, 1807-

The Ohio LaFollette Family.
Next to the Secrest family the name we find oftenest among
those the Spaids married is that of LaFollette. In both Virginia
and Ohio the name occurs very often. We are unable to give
any relationship between the LaFollettes of the two states, but
suspect they are branches of the same family, for the older Ohio
LaFollettes were all born in Virginia. William LaFollette, son
of Isaac LaFollette and wife, was born in Virginia Dec. 28, 1796.
He married in Virginia, Harriett Gill, who was born at Alexan-
dria, Va., Jan. 1, 1800. Their oldest daughters were born in
Virginia, and the family migrated to Ohio about 1822. Thirteen
children were bom to them, all now dead but three, and most of
them lived to be very old. Elizabeth was nearly 102 years old, and
the venerable James is now in his 98th year.
William LaFollette, Dec. 28, 1796-Sept. 27, 1865. Married
Harriett Gill, Jan. 1, 1800-May 3, 1893. Thirteen children:

12. Mary Jane LaFollette (Seigfreid), Nov. 8, 1843- Living,
Cambridge, Ohio.
13. Isaac LaFollette, March 14, 1846- Living, Buffalo, Ohio.
The Virginia LaFollette Family.
We have not been able to ascertain whether there is any rela-
tionship between the Ohio and the Virginia LaFollette families,
but they are doubtless from the same parent stock. The parents
of the Ohio family came from Virginia ;all are of French origin;
many Christian names are the same in both families. Both fam-
ilies are remarkable for longevity. Ten children were born to
William and Jane (McKee) LaFollette, as follows:
1. Annie LaFollette (McKee).
2. Bartholomew LaFollette.

The Robert Hook Family.
The Hook family is of great antiquity in Virginia, and it seems
that from time immemorial they have been millers or millwrights.
Hook's Mill has been a landmank in Hampshire county for nearly
a centuiy, and four or five generations of this family have followed
the calling of the miller. Robert Hook, son of William Hook, one
of the earliest of the family to make flour for our people, was born
Sept. 5, 1811, and lived throughout the century, dying Aug. 2,
1902. He married Mary Kelso, born in 1814, and died Aug. 26,
1886. Six children were born to them, but all are now dead :
1. Archibald Hook, Feb. 5, 1836-Sept. 5, 1903.
2. James C. Garvin Hook, Aug. 7, 1837-March 2, 1899.
3. Isaiah P. Hook, Sept. 2, 1839-March 29, 1912.

6. Henson P. Hook, Aug. 16, 1849-Dec. 30, 1914.
The Rev. John Richards Family.
Rev. John Richards was the son of Aquilla and Elizabetn

The Dyson Coat of Arms.
The Aquilla Dyson Family.
Aquilla Dyson was born in Wales. He is descended from Chris-
topher Dyson, who was knighted by Henry VH in 1489. The head
of the family in England is Sir Julian Dyson, of Exeter. The
GueiTisey county family have their ancestors' coat-of-arms, but it
does not mean much in this day. Aquilla Dyson came to America,
married Lucy Baylis and settled on the shore of Chesapeake Bay
near to the city of Baltimore. Here considerable family was born
to them. After fighting through the war of 1812 he removed to
Ohio and settled on a farm in southern Guernsey county (now
Noble) near Ava. His oldest son, Elijah, who had preceded him
to the wilderness of Ohio, was sheriff of Guernsey county and was
the last officer to use the whipping-post in this county. His daugh-
ters, Margaret and Lucy, never married, but lived at the old home
and made their living weaving coverlets, some of which are still
exhibited at the Guernsey and Noble county fairs. The parents
and most of these children are buried in the family cemeteiy on
the William Clark farm near Ava.

The Joseph Dyson Family.
Joseph Dyson, son of Aquilla and Lucy (Baylis) Dyson, was born
in Maryland, and reared for the most part in Ohio. In 1818 he
married Sarah Campbell, of Belmont county. She was of Scotch
descent, of the great clan of Campbells of which the Duke of
Argyle is the head. They owned the farm on which the town of
Pleasant City is now located. Mr. Dyson was an educated man,
able to draw up legal papers, so he was a very useful man in the
community, and was the "Squire" for many years. He died young
leaving ten children, the oldest of whom had just reached man's
estate. The widow was a woman of sterling principles and good
judgment, a hard worker and good manager, and she managed to
keep her family together and raised the children to be an honor to
the name. All are now dead, the venerable Lucy Dyson McCreary
who died Sept. 4, 1922, being the last to enter the spirit world.

The Henry Jackson Family.
The Jackson is one of the oldest families in Guernsey county.
Henry Jackson, the son of Henry and Elizabeth Jackson, was bora
in Green county, Penn., in 1770. For his first wife he married
Hannah Keener, and eight children had been born to them when
he resolved to move to Ohio. He left the wife and all the children,
except Maiy, at the old home in Pennsylvania. Accompanied by
Maiy (who was eleven years old at the time), to cook for himself
and his assistants, he came to Ohio in 1808 and settled on what is
known as the Ebenezer Johnson farm, a half mile south of ihe
Pleasant City railway station. His brother, Samuel, settled on
the adjoining farm to the south. Aftei' building a cabin and clear-
ing some land, he returned to Pennsylvania for the family, but in
the meantime the wife had died. He brought the children to the
new home in Ohio. About ten years later he married Rachel
Tustin, who was born in (Jreen county, Penn., in 1789, and brought
her to preside over the home in the wilderness. Eight children
were born of this union. Of these sixteen children, one son died
in infancy; William was scalded to death when young; James was
killed by a horse when eighteen years old; Eleanor (Nellie) never
married but made her home with her brother Samuel in Pleasant

died in Missouri. The father of this large family died in 1838,
but his second wife lived till 1871, making her home with her son
Samuel, in Pleasant City. She was a woman of vigorous intel-
lect, strong will, fond of disputation. A well-read woman for that
early day. Like all this large family, she was a Democrat in pol-
itics and a Baptist in religion. All this family are now dead, the
venerable Samuel Jackson, of Pleasant City, being the last to die.
The children that died young, the parents and the aged grand-
parents being buried in the cemetery of the old Enon Baptist

say that she never regretted the elopement. They came to Ohio
and located near to Pleasant City. Mr. Trott ovnied one of the
best faniis in that county, and in that early day he also bought
tobacco and gave employment to many persons in handling it.

thorn, a daughter of James and Mary Henthorn, who was born
in Chester county. Pa., Sept. 29, 1733. They had one daughter,
Mary Jackson, and may have had other children. This Henthom
family was said to be of royal blood, but Abi-aham Thompson, of
Pleasant City, called them a turbulent people.
James Thompson married Mary Jackson in Chester county,
Pa., and later brought her to the then wilderness of Ohio, settling
near where the village of Buffalo now is, the Walhonding mine
being on his farm. They were exceedingly thrifty, and Mr.
Thompson succeeded in locating his children on the best farms in
