In using the third column headed "Ages," enter the age of each person enumerated opposite such name, and UNDER THE PROPER HEADING of Male and Female, as required under the new law. In the next columns make a mark opposite the names of all such persons as are between 6 and 8; 8 and 14; 14 and 16; and 16 and 21 years of age. The next column will be used in the case of a joint Sub-District. 2. As the law required (see Section 4030) that the enumeration shall not only give names, ages, and sex, as above stated (and as shown in the ruled and printed columns on the next page,) but also to designate several other conditions named, additional columns are ruled on each right hand page, which are to be used to report the number of youth enumerated (if any) residing in the Western Reserve, the Virginia Military District, the U. S. Military District, and in any original surveyed Township or fractional Township to which belongs section sixteen, or other land in lieu thereof, or any other lands for the use of schools, or any interest in the proceeds of such lands. Each class should be properly designated at the head of such column.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Could I see you, I could tell you the whole story, but can now say bad enough. Henry was much disappointed, but I was none. You know the word was, he was to go on or others would have father's farm, if we would come and take care of them, but we found it very different. It is true, we might have went on his farm, but it lies in a back - by place destitute of either roads or water and would cost almost as much to put it in repair as to clear new and we find their daughter calculates on having all at their decease. They have lived joining them ever since they have been in this country, but the neighbors say, and I have reason to believe, the old people have done more for them than they could do for themselves. They live helpless many years. Mother has done their sewing, knitting, and the greatest part of their washing till about two years. But they now say they are... They wish they had time to take care of the old people, but I shall always have time as long as I have strength, and neither wish, nor expect any property. They all appear very kind and friendly as yet; and all Sally [Lott Carney ] does is write. Father says he never met with such a daughter before, and truly I think he may ... , for the rest can find but little time or otherwise, what you and I would call but little heart, for I could make as many excuses as they was I disposed ... We have bought fifty acres of entirely new land joining Leonard's.[Lott] Got two log rooms raised, the bigness of our old rooms in Stafford; [Genesee County, New York] got a well dug and mostly stoned; two or three acres chopped, but when we shall get in our house we can't say. For Henry is not very able to work in consequence of his eyes and our money most run out and fifty-nine dollars of our money we hold for we have not ... and don't know when we shall, but, however, I am not concerned but there will be some way provided the few days I have to stay. There is good provision plenty. I am none disappointed in the country. You know, I never expected to like it as well as New York State. The inhabitants appear very friendly and meetings handy of almost all kinds, though no particular revivals of religion at present.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

First, it is maintained that Chickamauga was not a Union defeat; second, Gen. Rosecrans was not properly sustained by the Washington authorities, notably Stanton, the famous war secretary; thirdly, that Rosecrans was not in favor with higher authorities on account of his political and religious beliefs, being a War Democrat and a Catholic. To the last assertion we give but little credence; pos- sibly it entered into the history of those days, but, if so, only to a minor degree; and here we would call attention only to the other two. Was Chickamauga a Union defeat? Most emphatically, No! In defense of this I append an editorial that appeared some years ago in the columns of the Columbus Dispatch, for the reason that it states the question and answers it in most concise and clear terms: CHICKAMAUGA HISTORY REVIEWED "The fields of Gettysburg and Chickamauga are especially worthy of adornment, not because more chivalrous courage was displayed on them than else- where, but because they mark not only important events, but critical periods in the great civil war. At Gettysburg it was demonstrated that a confederate army could not permanently occupy a free state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After the younger graduated, he paid his elder brother a visit, and as the two were taking a walk one day, they chanced to pass a Catholic church; whereupon the young lieutenant, to quote the words of one con- versant with the facts in the case, said to his brother: "It is high time, Sylvester, for you to put an end to this procrastination of yours; come in here and get baptized." Mechanically obeying the command, and entering for the first time in his life a Catholic church, the same authority tells the story of the Bishop's conversion: "They soon reached an altar, before which, to the young brother's surprise, shone a lighted lamp,' said the captain, 'in the Real Presence, for two graces, the grace of light to know the truth, and the grace of strength to follow it'; and with this he knelt down. Sylvester also knelt, as a matter of courtesy to his brother, but by no means to pray. He gazed around for a while at the works of art within reach of his eyes, but not being in the habit of kneeling long at any time, and his knees aching, he turned to look at his brother, whom he found absorbed in God. "The sight was too much for Sylvester. 'Wretch that I am,' said he to himself, 'while this truly good man is so earnestly interesting himself with Heaven for my soul's salvation, I am indifferent, as if it were none of my business. God is everywhere, and there- fore, here; I, too, will pray for strength and light.' - And he did pray, so long and earnestly, that when he Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 53) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b8e0acb6a7accd0f5fbed04a84a3478d.jpg b66cde311b2508ed0652609232f538e5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

While the others were doing bril- liant work in the way of reviling the General, he re- mained silent. Finally the gun was extricated from its earthly bed, and the unrecognized officer departed. Then the silent soldier spoke: "Don't you know, you blame fools," he said, "that Gen. Rosecrans was pushing that wheel with me?" "LONG-LEGGED JIM." Another favorite yarn with Gen. Rosecrans was about a soldier known as "Long-legged Jim." He was a brave fellow but fearfully lazy. On one occa- sion during a long, dusty march on a hot summer day, towards four o'clock in the afternoon, while marching through a bit of timber country, Jim could not resist the temptation to sit down on a log and enjoy the shade. His captain spoke up and urged Title A name given to the resource Major-General William Stark Rosecrans (p. 71) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/defdd505519c82576154b434ef647b81.jpg 1d60d159476ee49a71f041d2764a666d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

There were other generals, commanding corps, divisions and brigades, some sitting on the rough-hewn barren floor, with their backs against the walls, while others stood up. "It was a picture well worth painting - this the last council of war on the field of battle - the dim, flaring light, the faces of the men who directed the battles, the bright metallic shine of the swords and uniforms, when the fire flared up in the primitive chimney. Sometimes, when there was a hush of silence in the conversation, we could hear, far in the distance in the enemy's lines, the arrival of trains and moving of troops, reinforcements, soldiers from all parts of the Confederacy. It was not the usual preparations of a Saturday night for a peaceful Sunday; nay, it was for the most bloody fight ever fought, September 20, 1863. There were a few short hours' rest left after the hardships of the first day's battle, and during this last war council of the commanders, the soldiers rested on their arms, awaiting the break of day to renew their deadly conflict.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 6] The father, John Jacob Burrer and his son Heinrich (Henry) both died in 1874 while the mill was still at the creek. Gottlieb Jacob (Jakie) now 26 years old was made Executer of John Jacob, leaving the mother, Barbara Catherine a widow at the age of 54, daughters Frederika and were Nannie, two additional sons John Edward and Frank aged 20 and 12 ^ at home and unmarried. The move into Sunbury was successful, however, and with a much more accessible location and reliable power at hand to drive the mill stones, there was plenty|for everyone to do. The community began to grow rapidly. The Farmers Bank had been organized in 1872, the railroad was completed; the Enterprise (first newspaper) started, the brick school house built, on the hill (corner of Harrison & N. Vernon Sts), all in 1973. In 1974 the Rome Grange #741 was organized. In 1875 a Protestant Episcopal church was organized in Galena. From 1875 through 1891 many new organizations and associations were formed in the comm- unity. In 1892 the Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery was formed and a building was constructed on the east side of S. Columbus St., near the rail- road and Depot. This meant that the farmers had a convenient cash market for their milk and cream, and butter could be locally produced and sold in quantity. Mr. Kimball Sedgwick was named secretary & manager. By 1886 machinery had become available to process wheat into white flour, by means of matched sets of steel rollers; and by the use of proper screens and sifters various parts of the wheat, oats, rye and barley could be separated out in the grinding process for livestock feed and other uses. This meant that to be competetive, a major expan- sion was necessary at the mill. The French mill-stones or 'buhrs' were retained for cracking corn and making meal but the mill structure had to be expanded. At the same time 6 large and tall bins were constructed for the storage of grain for both processing and reshipment. At that time the engine room was not expanded since the steam engine and boiler could handle the added load. Anyone familiar with roller mills and the manufacture of white flour will understand the amount of line shafting, belts, pulleys, clutches and spouting required in such an undertaking. The conversion was completed, however, and a new era began in the milling business in the Sunbury community. An exact accounting of the sequence of events which followed during the next 15-20 years is not recorded, but can be summed up as follows;- While associated with the father and the boys under the name of 'Sprague & Burrer' Mr. Sprague was a Justice of the Peace, but upon being appointed Probate Judge in the County, he soon gave up his interest in the milling business and the enterprise continued for a time as 'Burrer Brothers'. After white flour became available, the 'tavern' aspect of the store and tavern on the Public Square was dropped and ovens installed in the building to operate as a Bakery, thereby promoting the marketing of the new 'White Loaf Flour,'as the product was named. John Edward, having learned the milling business, became interested in the bakery. Frank continued on full time in the mill with his brother Jakie. Frank never married but Jakie and his wife Amy Ann started to raise a family of their own in the house across from the mill. Their first born child (March 7, 1886) was given the name of Sprague, after the early partner, and the middle name Gammill from his maternal grandfather. Then followed 4 more boys, all within a period of 8 years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Volume I (published 1906) "Longshore Family, long residents in Pa. Founder of family in Pa. was Robert Longshore, who came from England and settled at Front and Market Sts. in Phila- delphia; later moved to Bucks Co." The name of the person who sent in this biography to the previously mentioned book is not mentioned so there is no way to know which of Isaish Longshore's grandchildren wrote it - "Isaiah Longshore, grandfather, lived at Beach Haven, where he kept a hotel and boarding house, died at age 47 and buried there.

These historic and biographic passages are used for one purpose - to show that some of the early Longshores were human- itarians; vitally interested in their country, in the healing arts, women's rights, foreign aid, and political reform. They were great contributors to their fellow man, be it on a local, state, or national scale; always ready to serve.

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

Can you suggest any of the other descendants of the branch of David Longshore-Elizabeth Warner to whom I could write to bring other lines down to the present? Is it possible to secure copies of wills, obits, and the other pertinant data? I would pay copying costs if that would help.

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

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

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

Longshore was very active in the Christian Union Church (Bethel, in Licking Co.), of which he was an Elder and Superintendent of Sunday Schools. The biography also states he once carried mail from Johns- town to Newark daily for one year, worked as a carpen- ter for years, but mostly he farmed. Angeline was born in Ohio just one year after her parents, Almerian and Elizabeth (Jewett) Bourn who were born in Mass., came to Ohio in 1839. "After marriage, I.N. and Angeline settled on the old homestead where their resident still is (in 1880). (This is where the Harvey McElroy farm now is on Ross Rd., Trenton Twp.) In May of 1880, I.N. sold his farm for $1000. cash and soon after bought one of 47 acres at $60.00 an acre from A. C. Bowers; he also worked 83 acres of his mother's (Cyrus' and Margaret's) farm."

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 36] [corresponds to page 35 of I-DENTITY] It is thought that the first three of Truman's children were born in Ohio and the other five in Illinois. It is re- corded that Will was born in Ohio and that Clem was born in a log house on his grandfather Cyrus' farm - possibly the tenant house, in 1865. Truman was back in Ohio at that time and also in 1870 at the time of his father's death. Larusia had died the year before at age 35. She is buried at Condit, Ohio. In 1871, Truman married Lucretia [underlined] Peters. A copy of her father's biography follows: Also taken from Baskins 1880 Delaware County History -- Daniel H. Peters, farmer and stockraiser; P.O. Green, Licking County, Ohio is a son of William and Sarah (Bashford) Peters; his father was of English descent, and born in Maryland; his mother of Irish descent; her father was from Cork, Ireland. Mr. Peters's father emigrated to Ohio about 1816, and his grandfather came to America in 1808, and served awhile in the War of 1812. Mr. Peters was born Jun 26, 1820, in Pickaway County, Ohio and came to Licking Co., in April, 1822. Nov. 27, 1842, he was married to Miss R. Iles; she was born in Licking Co.; they had nine children - Sarah J., Lucretia, James W. Effie, Oliver, Emma, William P., Melissa, and Martha. His wife died Oct. 6, 1863; she was a member of the M.E. Church. Daniel was again married, in 1864, to Mary A., daughter of Edward and Mary Lake, by whom he had six children; five living - Rose D., Frank J., Milton H., Mark M., William S. and John M who died Nov. 21, 1869. He (Daniel) lived, after marriage in Licking Co. four years and then rented his present farm of 124 acres, which he bought two years afterward. About 1859, he learned the carpenter's trade, and has thus been enabled to make his own farm improvements; in 1864, he commenced dealing in Spanish merino sheep, which he supplies to those wanting at fair prices; he has filled his share of the township offices, and is now a member of the Christian Union Church, as are also five members of his family. He has served as Supt. of Sunday School for 25 yrs, and many years as Elder. This church now has membershp of 100. He is a member of Sparrow Lodge, No. 400, A.F.& M. According to a granddaughter, Daniel Peters score of children reached 17! (Daniel H. Peters: June 26, 1820 - Aug 23, 1900 Mary I. Iles: Jan. 17, 1840 - Nov. 10, 1900 b d in Wapello Cemetery, Iowa After 1871, Truman and Lucretia moved to Ill. with his family of three sons: William, Edson B., and Clem.

It is thought that he kept 2 year old Nellie and Newt, age 7. It is not known what 19 yr old Edson did but Clem at age 16 was old enough to do a man's work so he lived with his father's uncle, Warner and Cordelia and daughter, Mary, on the farm. Cordelia passed away in 1882 so then the spinster daughter, Mary, kept house for her father and Clem.

Description An account of the resource [page 37] [corresponds to page 36 of I-DENTITY] Harriett and her husband George Ginn, having only one (at home) child, Elmine aged 9, took five year old Milo to raise. Mae, who was eight went to live with a sister of Lucretia's in Mich. It is not known where Dean, aged 9, stayed, but when he turned 18 he went to Iowa where he settled. So, compassionate relatives "took in" the children and it was such a commendable thing to do. Everyone did the best they could but still the family circle was broken. However the family, though scattered hither and yon, remained close in spirit and all kept in touch, visiting each as often as possible. Most of them eventually settled in Central Ohio. Truman did not set up housekeeping again until Mae was old enough to keep house for him. He then purchased a place in Olive Green in 1886. At that time a Doc Foster and Truman became business partners in a tile mill. All went well until Doc decided to shoot himself dead in a tile kiln. Just one more upheaval in Truman's life. He lived to age 78 and died in 1913. All of his children lived long lives except Nellie, who died at 35. The others averaged out to over 78; Clem lived to be the oldest-passing on at age 90 in 1955. Reading of the trauma that went on in these families' lives reminds one of Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem: Rock Me to Sleep Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight, Make me a child again, just for tonight! Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore; Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth a few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;-- Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep! I am so weary of toil and of tears; Toil without recompense, Tears all in vain; Take them, and give me my childhood again! I have grown weary of dust and decay, - Weary of flinging my soul wealth away; Weary of sowing for others to reap; - Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep! Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem, "Rock Me to Sleep" 3rd verse Tired of the follow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O Mother, my heart calls for you! Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded, our faces between; Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I tonight for your presence again. Come from the silence so long and so deep; - Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep! Over my heart in the days that are flown, No love like mother love ever has shown; No other worship abides and endures, Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours; None like a mother can charm away pain From the sick soul, and the world-weary brain, Title A name given to the resource I-DENTITY (p. 37) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/83ac7fd53847c343825d767c84f8b863.jpg ebe55ce4dbd6ed63a12f9ea500855242 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

Every effort has been made to keep the lines straight but if some should have crossed, it is because sometimes there were so many Davids, Charles', et cetera, most without benefit of I, II, Sr., Jr., or whatever. It was the custom to have namesakes in the early days, more then than now, and so babies were named not only after parents and grandparents but also after aunts, uncles, etc., so again a confusion develops - and there's no one to ask in most instances! Also much of this information has been gathered via telephone so again there is a greater margin for error in that type communication. And I may as well admit it - sometimes I "goof" just for no reason at all! Seriously though, all of this compiling has been done with the best of Intentions, and no slights or errors intended.

Description An account of the resource [page 82] [corresponds to unnumbered page 79 of I-DENTITY] Additional Longshore Information by Judy (Longshore) Campbell David Longshore (I) lived in Middletown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In the 1800 Bucks County Census, he is listed with the unmarried men. He and Elizabeth Weaber were married by Isaac Hicks, J.P. on January 20, 1802 in Middletown Twp., Pennsylvania. Elizabeth is listed as a spinster. (She was 19). Her name on almost all Genealogical records (including, LDS records) is Warner. Her mother's maiden name was Warner and I believe that she took that as her own maiden name after her marriage. The tombstone of David Longshore says that he came to Ohio in 1806. It also states that he was 79 years 9 months 8 days old. Later census records say that he came from Pennsylvania. After his wife Elizabeth (Warner) died on August 8, 1840 he married Elisabeth (Betsy) Benton on June 20th 1842. Betsy and her husband lived on a farm next to the Longshores. David and his brother, Euclydus bought land together in 1811 and David lived in the same place the rest of his life.

The Family of David Longshore, Jr. The 7th child of David (1) There is more to be told of this family than will be told here. David, Jr. lived with his parents. The rules by which he would take care of them in their old age and thereby inherit their land was written in deed form. After the death of David Sr., David, Jr. sued all his brothers and sisters for the right to the land. In this suit is evidence that Rachel Squires is a sister of this Longshore family. David Jr, sues her children, since she was already dead. David Jr. served in the Civil War. His records show that he enlisted at the end of the War so he wasn't in very long. He served with an Ohio group. David was born about 1822 d 9/5/1871 and on 4/13/1848 married Sarah Ellen Shannon.

They are both buried in the same cemetery in a plot purchased by David Longshore. There is no indication which David. The infants buried there simply state infant of D. Longshore. It cannot be certain which David Longshore family they belong to. After David Jr's death, Sarah lived with her daughter Mary and family. They went west in the late 1800's and she died and is buried in Mountain Home, Idaho. Mark Longshore, son of Isaac Newton Mark Longshore, son of Isaac Newton, was found by this researcher by using the Ancestry.com database. He died in 1945. His death certificate is from Contra Costa County in California. (This includes the San Francisco area. It verifies that Isaac and Angeline (Bourne) were his parents. According to the certificate, he had lived in California for 30 years. At time of death he was working as PBX operator at a San Francisco hotel.

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

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

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

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

There was no way to save the structures since at that time all that was available was a man-power operated fire pumper and the only water available was from a cistern on the east side of the Public Square. The owners of the various properties so destroyed, banded together and hired a contractor to come on the scene and erect new brick structures according to each owners requirements. I understand, on good authority, that 'Rudy' Burrer, a respected banker in the Village was given the responsibility of co-ordinating the new construction project between the individual owners and the contractor, Mr. Ray Hopper of Delaware, Ohio. Believe it or not, there is no indication handed down to date of any serious problems, financially or other- wise, in this obviously loose-knit operation. In 1938 the Sunbury Post Office was located in the brick building at 75 E. Cherry Street across the alley from the rear of the Blakely-Williams building. Mr. Carroll Williamson was Postmaster. The first structure west of S. Vernon St on the south side of the square was a frame dwelling. The next was the residence of Otis (Pete) Baker and connected office and exchange of The Ohio Central Telephone Co. Mr. Baker, with his wife Lulu had come to Sunbury in 1904 to be maintenance man and local manager of the system. His younger son, Darwin Baker was a Lions Club Charter Member. The brick structure to the west and next to the alley, provided quarters for The Delaware County Mutual Ins.

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

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