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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of the first 'two-phased' generators to be used in this area was secured and installed by the Erner & Hopkins Electric Company of Columbus. The installation was supervised by M.A. (Milt) Pixley of Ohio State football fame, this being his first such undertaking as an Electrical Engineer.

Arches to support the roof were made from structural members obtained from a steel bridge then being replaced along the Croton Road (Hartford Road). "Large pressure tanks were installed for the storage of compressed air, necessary for use in starting the engines. A concrete 'pool' or open tank, was constructed in the outside area at the rear of the buildings and the necessary piping installed to circulate water for cooling the engines. "This new system was very satisfactory for a few years until the electrical 'load' again called for more capacity. A 6-hp, 2-cylinder Westinghouse engine and an additional belt-driven generator were installed and the earlier equipment was retained for stand-by and peak load assistance.... "The final modernization of the electric plant at the mill was accomplished with the installation of a still larger generator and exciter. This was direct-connected to a 90hp Anderson Oil Engine and its output fed into a new and larger switchboard. This engine was of a new and improved type, utilizing the "Diesel' method of fuel injection and combustion.

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page 17 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] As the young men grew into adults, the family flourished. Although the rigors of a family owned and operated business left them little free time, the family did actively take part in church activities and spent time each summer at camp. Camp Clifton flourished from the turn of the century until the 1920's. Consisting of cabins, community kitchen with cooks, a dining room, and of course a swimming hole, the camp made a perfect get-away from summer heat for those who could afford the luxury. When it was no longer an exclusive resort, it continued to be used for civic events such as Sunday School picnics, and a cook- out spot for hikers. The Burrer family made good use of these facilities as shown in these photographs. Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Burrer Celebrate Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary On May the twenty sixth eighteen hundred and seventy five a group of friends assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Gammill to witness the wedding of their daughter Amy Ann Gammill and Gottleib Burrer and on Tuesday evening may twenty-five, five of the original wedding party with sixty relatives and friends were entertained by the bride and groom of fifty years ago, at their home in Columbus street in honor of their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Mrs. Burrer was born in Porter Townshp in 1858 and has spent her life in the community. Mr. Burrer was born in Wittenberg, Germany in August 1848 and came to this country with his parents, when five years old. Located at Sunbury in 1872, he entered the milling business and has been a very successful miller, giving all his personal attention to this work, retiring only a few years ago. Their sons, K. O. Burrer and P. P. Burrer continuing in the business so well established by their father. R. O. Burrer, assistant cashier of Farmer's Bank of Sunbury, Gordon J, Burrer of Huntington, W. Va., of two grandsons, Carleton Sperry Burrer and Gerald Jacob Burrer, one grand daughter, Barbara Burrer, are the members of the immediate family. Mr. and Mrs. Burrer and their entire family are members of the Sunbury Baptist Church and the Masonic organizations of the city. Yellow candles and draperies decorated the dining room, the same color scheme being carried out in the refreshments, most appropriate for the Golden anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Davis sang two numbers that were greatly appreciated. Several beautiful and useful remembrances were presented the host and hostess, which will bring back memories of a happy occasion for many years to come. Mr. and Mrs. J. Rowe, Mrs. A. R.

Jakie Burrer Dies In 1926, Jakie was attacked with influenza which was followed by sleeping sickness which resulted in a peaceful sleep from which there was not awakening. Jakie's obituary in The Sunbury News of February 18, 1926, says "he was a man who attended strictly to his own business thus building a large acquaintanceship, and a wide circle of friends."

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

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

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

In 1917 the Republic was exchanged for a 4- cylinder, flat-bed Packard truck, also with solid tires but without the chain-drive to the rear wheels. It was purchased with a cowl and dash only, and a special weathertight cab with sliding doors was manufactured for it and installed in Columbus."

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

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

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

He was a proficient athlete in high school and college and continued his interest by promotion of such activities locally. His name appears on a tablet in the Deeds Field House at Denision [sic Denison] University, recognizing his support toward its erection. Karl was a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, a fifty year member and Past Master of Sparrow Lodge No. 400, F. & A. M. in Sunbury, a member and past officer in the Council and Chapter Masonic bodies in Westerville, Ohio. In later life Karl married Mary Schwin, of Waukarusa, Indiana. Mary was a large woman who was self-conscious of her appearance. Her father was a sheriff in Texas. Her Aunt Mary owned a newspaper so Mary had learned to use a linotype. Mary was a simple, kind gentle Gran-Mary to grandson, John Burrer. Never fully recovering from the accident in the Elevator, Karl died in White Cross Hospital in Columbus, December 5, 1957 and was buried in Sunbury Cemetery.

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

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

He was also a member of Clinton Commandry, Knights Templer and a charter member of Centerburg Lions. Distinguished as the longest living Burrer, Parker died in Martin Memorial Hospital in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, September 1, 1976 at the age of 90. He left his wife, his children, Gerald Jacob of Monroe Michigan, and Barbara of Romulus, Michigan, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Gerald Jacob, cast in the Burrer mold, loves mechanical challenges. He bought an old car and totally rebuilt it to mint condition. He built his own home on Lake Erie using pegs instead of nails. [photo: Paul Parker Burrer and the Burrer Women Louise Griffiths Burrer (Mrs. R.O.), Minnie McLeod Burrer (Mrs. P.P.) and Charlotte Pagels Burrer (Mrs. G.J.) Barbara, who has made her living as a very successful accountant, also has a flair for mechanical things. Her very practical view of things has allowed her to design and oversee the building of her home. See the Appendix for Parker's family line. Rudolph Odell Burrer Like his brothers, Rudolph worked in the mill through graduation from Sunbury High School then went to Denison. He had beautiful red curls and was popular with the girls. However, in class he sat back and did not recite but still got the best grade on his exam. The Professor said he could not have an 'A' because he had not participated in class discussions. When he went home at Christmas, Rudy refused to return to college. His parents were very upset and went to see the Professor. Rudy was given a second test which he also passed with flying colors but he still refused to go back to school. Since his parents had already paid the non- refundable tuition, they sent Parker to use the remaining funds. Parker took music lessons on the E-Flat horn, piano and voice lessons for his deep baritone voice. After using the remaining Denison funds, he went to London for business school. [photo: Tintype of Rudy Burrer on the left in the big hat.] Rudolph became assistant cashier in the Farmer's Bank in Sunbury where his father was Vice-President when he died in 1926.

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

She had a sweet personality which endeared her to her peers. For twenty years, Rudy was Treasurer of the village of Sunbury, and member of the Board of Public Affairs. He was very involved during the difficult time the village was installing the waterworks system. He was member of the Masonic Order for over 50 years and a member of the Knights Templar of the Order.

In later years Rudy suffered with emphysema and could not maneuver the stairs so a lift was constructed and positioned in the front room of the house. He died July 17, 1965, in Riverside Hospital in Columbus. Louise continued to live in the homestead as long as she was able then went to live with her sister in Franklin County. She died May 15, 1982. Rudy and both wives are buried in the Sunbury cemetery. [photo: G.J. Burrer, Master Mason] Gordon Jacob Burrer Gordon also graduated from Sunbury High School.

Charlotte's family came from Germany and owned several buildings, including a tall warehouse. The Pagels family lived over their business and saw to it that Charlotte had all the education and charm of a lady. To Gordon and Charlotte three children were born - Charlotte Amy, and the twins, Fred Pagels and Gordon Jacob (the third in the family so he was called Don). Don inherited the Burrer mechanical aptitude and, as a child, made his own television. While he was in school he rowed in the Regatta on the Thames River.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 69] [corresponds to page 60 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Martin served under Col. Nicholson in 1711 in Queen Anne's War thus becoming the first in the family to bear arms on American soil. It is unknown when Martin moved to the Mohawk Valley but most of his children were born there and he is probably buried on the old homestead which is still in the family in 1996. He founded Stone Arabia Church in a log cabin in 1728 on land secured from the government known as the Stone Arabia Patent. Since its founding, the church has never been closed although fire destroyed the log structure and it was rebuilt. Dilly and her father have always maintained membership in this church. Ten children were born to this union: Johannes (1714), Henrich (1716), Christian (1718), Anna Maria (1720), Wilhelm (1722), Elisabeth (1725), Martinus (1729), John Dietrich (1731), John Baltasar (1733), and John David (1735). Henrich Dillenbach Our family follows through Henrich (1716-1795) who married Anna Margretha (Wagner) March 19, 1735. Anna was born April 15, 1712 to John Peter and Maria Margretha (Loucks) Wagner in New Paltz. To this union nine children were born: Anna Margretha (12-22-1735), Andrew (12-29-1736), Anna Maria (12-7- 1738), Elizabeth (4-4-1740). Henrich (3-29-1741), Catherine (12-26-1743), Johannes (1-13-1747), Magdalena (10-5-1749), and Barbara Elizabeth (6-22-1752). All were members of the Lutheran church but it is not known if they are buried in the old church cemetery or at the homestead. Andrew A. Dillenbach Andrew (12-29-1736 to 8-6-1977) married Catharina Finck on November 27, 1764. Catharina was the daughter of Andreas and Margaret Finck and had grown up with Andrew. They had 6 children: Anna Margretha (3-26-1766), Catherine (3- 3-1768), Maria (4-11-1770), Andrew A. (4-26-1775) and Magdalena (4-24-1778). His last daughter was born months after her father's death. When Sir William Johnson called for troops to march on Ft. William Henry, March 20, 1757, twenty-one year old Andrew was in Capt. Soffrines Deychert's Company. The Company disbanded nine days later. Again on July 24, 1763, when the alarm went out that German Flatts was in danger of attack, Andrew responded. In 1768, Andrew signed a petition to Sir William to compel him to issue a new deed when the Lutheran congregation of Stone Arabia had lost its deed to their property. Andrew was active in events leading up to the American Revolution. He served as a Lieutenant in the Palatine Militia. Then in 1776, he and Capt. John Zielley and others, were made a Committee of Vigilance to procure arms and equipment for the Militia. In 1777, he marched on Oriskany as Lieutenant in Capt. Severines Cook's Company, Col. Klock's New York Regiment under General Herkimer. On August 4, 1777, General Nicholas Herkimer gathered together 800 militiamen at Ft. Dayton (now Herkimer, N.Y.) for the relief of Ft. Schuyler (Rome, N.Y.) which was besieged by British under Col.

Description An account of the resource [page 70] [corresponds to page 61 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] by Joseph Brant a Mohawk Indian. On the 6th, General Herkimer's troops were ambushed by the British under Sir John Johnson and Indians under Brant in a ravine 2 miles west of Oriskany, a village in Oneida County, N.Y. The rear portion of Herkimer's troops escaped the trap, but were pursued by the Indians, and many of them were overtaken and killed. Between the remainder, the British and the Indians, there was a desperate hand-to-hand conflict, interrupted by a violent thunderstorm, with no quarter shown by either side. Soldiers were dropping right and left, so Lieutenant Dillenbach was made Captain on the battlefield. Captain Andrew Dillenbach, knowing how Indians treated prisoners, told George Walter (to whom we are indebted for his eye witness account of the following events) he would not be taken alive. "Three of Johnson's Greens set upon him. One of his assailants seized the Captain's gun, but he suddenly wrenched it from him and felled him with the musket butt. He shot the second dead, and thrust the bayonet through a third. But in the moment of triumph a ball laid him low." He was shot through the head and died instantly. A tradition in the family says that the gun that killed the Captain was fired by a Tory neighbor living on the farm adjoining the Old Homestead and one with whom Captain Andrew had grown up and into whose family his oldest daughter was to marry. Following the Captain's previous instructions to his comrades, his silver buckles were removed from his shoes and knees and put with his pocketbook to later be taken to his wife. There was no time to bury the victims, so the Captain's body was put in a field of tall wheat to hide it from the Indians and prevent scalping. Hearing the firing near Ft. Schuyler, the British finally withdrew but not before 200 Americans had been killed and as many more taken prisoners. The British losses were equally as heavy. General Herkimer, though his leg had been taken by a shot at the beginning of the action, continued to direct the fighting on the American side. Herkimer died August 16 as a result of the clumsy amputation of his leg. The battle was not decisive but it did prevent St. Leger's troops from joining up with General Burgoyne. Story of the Battle is taken from Encyclopedia Britannica. Since the dead were never buried, it is said that for months after the battle, travelers detoured the field to avoid the stench of decaying flesh. Members of the family know the exact spot where Andrew was killed. In 1877, one hundred years after his death, Dilly's grandfather, Luther, and others visited the spot and found a sign nailed to a tree which read "Here Captain Andrew Dillenbeck was killed." In 1930, Dilly's father and brother also visited the battlefield. A tall obelisk monument marks the place today. Catharina was left pregnant and with five chilren, the oldest only eleven. In 1780, she married Capt. John Zielley, a friend, neighbor and co-militiaman of Andrew's, and guardians were appointed for the children. To this union more children were born and family tradition says they received preference over captain Andrew's children. Andrew A.

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

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

"Guess that is why I've always enjoyed making up words," chuckled Dilly.

So he received training and preparation for the ministry and was ordained at West Sand Lake June 19, 1907.

Y., WEDNES [illegible] MATRIMONIAL [illegible] 7, 1905 DILLENBECK-WHITBECK. The union of two young lives in holy wedlock, and the consequent bringing together of two families hitherto unrelated and unknown to each other, is an event to stir any neighborhood to unusual activity. Several years ago Mr. Andrew L. Dillenbeck of St. Johnsville came hither to pursue in the Seminary a course of studies leading to the ministry of the Lutheran Church. While in school he was attracted to one of Hartwick's fair maidens, Miss Stella Pearl Whitbeck, then a teacher in the public school, and earlier a graduate of the Seminary. . . . . . . . . Here we have a blank into which our readers can fill the "old, old story." Mr. Dillenbeck entered Gettys- burg College in 1902, and this year is graduated therefrom with dis- tinguished, honors, including a prize of $30.00. Miss Whitbeck for two years has been a teacher in the High School at Fort Hunter. [photo] On the 7th of June, '05, in the Seminary Church, these joined their earthly fortunes in holy marriage, saying their vows to Rev. Alfred Hiller, D. D., pastor of the Lutheran Church. At 8 p. m. Prof. C. S. Derrick, presiding at the Organ, played the wedding march, and the bridal party approached a bower of beauty in white and green. Rev. Geo. G. Whitbeck of Valatio gave his sister in marriage unto the husband of her choice. The immediate party fronting the officiating clergyman were, the bride and groom, accompanied by Stanley Haverly as best man, and Greta May Whitbeck, a niece, as maid of honor. Flanking these were the ushers, Mr. Hinkle, College class- mate, Dallas Dillenbeck, Elton Dil- lenbeck, cousins, and John Dillenbeck, brother, and bride's maids, Misses Flora and Elsie Murdock. The rain which had been pouring during the afternoon considerately ceased to allow the guests, who nearly filled the church, to go to the ceremony, and to return to the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Whitbeck, the bride's parents. Being "only a man" we shall not attempt to describe the bride's trosseau, nor to describe the bride's trosseau, nor the gowns of the various sweet and pretty attendants. Suffice it to say they were all in keeping with the occasion. To our thinking the refined and intellectual bearing was superior to any amount of "clothes" which might be enumerated. So, also, when we attempt to describe the brilliancy of the reception which immediately followed the ceremony our pen threatens to revolt. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Whitbeck, in- cluding the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. Whitbeck, just thronged with merry guests, while white robe maidens flitted here, there and yon, dispensing refreshments, many or most of which were the product of the bride's own deft hand. Shall we enumerate the gifts? No, that would be about impossible, and surely might subject some one to a feeling of envy. We desire, however, to note those of the guests who journeyed hither from other com- munities, omitting those who dwell within our gates.

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 90] [corresponds to page 81 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Ghent, New York From 1907 to 1908 the family lived in Ghent where her father was a pastor. Marsden Van Wie was born in Ghent. Dilly was too young to remember anything about this town. She does recall the family later telling her about sitting in her rocker in the chancel singing about 'My Dolly' in the Christmas program. During her childhood, Dilly's family moved at least every 6 years because her father thought that was long enough for a minister to be in one spot. After six years, he might loose the spontaneity and the parishioners would not get as much from his sermons. [photo: Dorothy, 2 1/2 Years Old, and Marsden Van Wie Dillenbeck, 10 Months] Central Bridge, New York From 1908 to 1914, the family lived in the little village of Central Bridge. Dilly was small and sickly so the family did not send her to school as she would have had to cross the mainline of the New York Central Railroad to walk to school. Marsden would be going in two years and it was decided she could wait and go with him. Meanwhile since her mother was a teacher, she used this time to give her children a wonderful head start on their education by playing games devised to have them ready to learn to read, etc. She would cut the numbers off a calendar and use them for the children to learn to count and do simple math.

One day Dilly and a friend were walking down the sidewalk toward the parsonage when Mr. Carmichael pulled his automobile up next to them and ask if they would like a ride. "Every time we heard the chug of an automobile, we ran to see it," remembered Dilly. She had never been in a car before and was thrilled with the long slow ride up and down the Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 90) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4dbeea6b30247df292c7885f95fdc543.jpg d89b350fd024b4e062fd4810129e4705 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 96] [corresponds to page 87 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] Once a year the family traveled into New York for the extravaganza at the Hippodrome. It was all very exciting but they never made an opera at the New York Metropolitan Opera. In Hollis, Dilly's mother worked in the public library while the librarian was on vacation and allowed Dilly to join her and even put away the fairy tales thus planting the seed for a future career. "While they were building a new parsonage in Hollis, we moved into another house. Across the street was a girl who worked in a bookstore and she would sneak me books," recalled Dilly. Then many of the books came in sets like the Red Cross girls, the Fielding books, etc. Dilly read everything she could get her hands on. when her mother found out what was happening, she put a damper on the fun by explaining to Dilly the girl was spending part of her small earnings on books for Dilly and that was not right. [photo: Girl Scout Dilly by the Rose of Sharon Bush in Hollis] Dilly found a Girl Scout Handbook in the library and wanted to earn those beautiful merit badges. She asked her mother to help start a troop but her mother was too busy with church activities. Pearl went to the school and found a teacher to take the troop. Although they moved so often, Dilly was never able to earn all the badges she wanted to but she did enjoy all her scouting, especially the camps. It worked out that the entire family was to be in camps at the same time - Dilly in Girls Scout camp, her parents in a church camp and Marsden in Boy Scouts of America Camp - all on the Hudson River. Dilly loved every bit of her camp but 12 year old Marsden had a rough time. He developed a boil on his backside and when he realized the doctor was going to lance it, he shouted "Get away from me you bums! You're not going to touch me." When the week was over, Dilly got permission to stay another week. Although Dilly never got homesick in camp, she did manage to get a plantar wart on her foot which was very painful and became a woman for the first time - both memorable experiences not related to scouting. When they moved to Lockport there was no Girl Scout Troop. Later in Johnstown, she was again in scouting and did community service by cataloging a junior high library. She was a Girl Scout Leader with 2 assistants and 36 girls. That summer she went to Camp Edith Macy on the Husdon River for training. The trainers were all marvelous speakers which added to a memorable experience. Although the tents were up when they arrived in camp, they had to take them down at the end. When unrolling the side of the tent to put it away, the girls discovered a nest of mice. Dilly remembered feeling something run across her face during the night but thought it was a dream. The entire experience was wonderful but she would never recommend 36 girls in a troop. She spent two summers as a camp counselor for 8 year olds. She never did learn to swim. Marsden and her father could go to the YMCA but there was no where for girls to Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 96) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d6538e9ac71dd51e2c7c5ff02ba9090a.jpg cc1f1f50c8be80386cecae62e2449d1c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

She said yes. When they got to her house, he presented Dilly with a gift and said "I think you should give me a kiss." Dilly replied, "I couldn't do that!" and the young man left. So much for the future of that affair! Dilly returned to carrying her own cello home. Mr. Haviland, the orchestra conductor, was a wonderful musician and expected top performance from all members of the orchestra. "We did a lot of starting and stopping until we got it right," remembers Dilly. However, it paid off because when the orchestra went to a contest, they ranked first - a thrill which carrried over into their adult lives. In addition to the orchestra, Dilly played in the pit orchestra for school operettas and sang in the girls chorus. Dilly didn't really enjoy high school as such. She was always bested by Marsden in the grade department. Her cello was the highlight of those years. Marsden was selected editor and chief of the yearbook and Dilly helped him. Dilly and her father were both blonds while her mother and brother were both brunettes. Her mother took care of Dilly's hair and was very upset when she had it cut her sophomore year in high school. At the time Dilly, age 15, was working in a real estate office as a filing clerk. She was filing in the drawers when the boss walked in behind her and exclaimed, "Girl, what have you done?" "Then I realized I had really done something awful," remembers Dilly. All the time Dilly was in school her parents selected sturdy shoes purchased two sizes larger than needed so she would wear them for two years. By the second year the shoes were worn as well as not fashionable. Dilly remembers hating the shoes so much, she would sneak her pumps into a bag and carry them to school and change so she felt more fashionable. Of course her mother eventually caught her and it was back to the sturdy shoes. She was also becoming clothes conscious. Dilly doesn't remember dating in high school. We would go to a basketball game and sit near each other but we always found our own way there and home. The cars just had room for six people so any more than that and someone always had to sit on someone's lap. Since Dilly was small, she was usually elected to be on someone's lap. One handsome fellow is [sic in] her class had a beautiful voice and went to Hollywood to play in B movies. At the same time a beautiful girl in her class, named Ryan, was a pianist and also went to Hollywood to be in movies. Everyone thought the two would marry. However, the girl returned and married the president of Dilly's class who was a banker. The high school was very large and they gave lessons in everything. The conservatory often put on extra teachers to handle additional subjects. When the school put on a musical, everyone in town came. Dilly loved taking piano lessons but she wasn't a natural like her brother. Marsden was very good at ear training and melody writing but Dilly struggled with them. She really wanted to take the course but only got a 62 or 63 in the course. Of course, Marsden who sang beautifully and played the violin very well, passed easily. One of life's character building events happened in English IV, when Dilly Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 98) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e478a89daab04a48c8b720d43b90baeb.jpg e2c635cc86f97b870e6ffc67d1be8985 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 105] [corresponds to page 96 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] took her to Manhattan where she caught the subway to Columbia for a total of one and half hour trip to school. This meant she spent three hours a day just traveling to and from school. To pass the time on the subway, Dilly would study people's faces and try to figure out what they did, where they were going, etc. She wove some complicated fantasies about her fellow travelers but never asked any to confirm her ideas. Using the library at Columbia became a challenge. Instead of using the Dewey system to catalog, this library used Library of Congress cataloging so Dilly had to learn a new system. The boarding house was a new experience for Dilly who had lived a sheltered life. "One day, I remember one of the men who lived in the house was from Singapore and I was asking him questions about his background while standing in my doorway. He took the questions as a personal interest in him and the next thing I knew he had closed the door to my room, turned off the light and was starting to make improper advances. I quickly opened the door and led him out when the 6'3" coach, who roomed across the hall, heard my raised voice and offered to help if I had any more trouble." "The boys were studying to be ministers and I knew I did not ever want to be a minister's wife so I didn't do any serious dating. Besides, I had already met Carleton and knew he was the man for me," remembers Dilly. By the second year at Columbia, Dilly moved into an apartment on 18th Street. The art librarian was divorced and sublet rooms for $6 per week so Dilly took one. Her room was very small with only room for a desk, a chair and a cot and of course the shared bathroom down the hall. The window looked out on the inner court because those rooms were cheaper. To give herself more space, Dilly left the door open and her friends would come to her room to hang out. Her job at Columbia was in the foreign periodicals department. The library closed at 9 p.m.. One night after closing Dilly was on her way home and it was raining so she stopped, took off her glasses and put them in her case. Then she stopped at the corner grocery to get a bottle of milk. Coming out of the store was a man in a Chesterfield coat with a black velvet collar and a Fedora hat. He nodded to Dilly and said, "They'll be out in a minute." She was so surprised to see anyone dressed like this that she was really taken back when a second man came out of the backroom dressed just like the first in a Chesterfield coat with a black velvet collar and a Fedora hat. He, too, said, "They'll be out in a minute." Dilly went on into the store and soon discovered the store had been robbed and the only help she could give the police was the description of the men's hats and coats. Perhaps if she had not taken off her glasses she would have noticed something else! Her apartment was on the second floor of a three story building. One night Dilly rang the bell but the elevator never came. After several attempts she walked the stairs. Later she discovered there were robbers in the building, and they had the elevator operator tied up. Since Dilly was earning her own way through graduate school, she had little money for clothes but since she wasn't dating she didn't need many and the ones she had made were fine.

Description An account of the resource [page 106] [corresponds to page 97 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] After two years, she got her Masters of Library Science from Columbia University in 1932 after writing her thesis on the editions of the Bible. Johnstown Following graduation, she went home to Johnstown and clerked in a department store as she had done on several vacations from school. This was a rough time because she now had two degrees but following the Depression, jobs were very scarce. She spent three months cataloging and helping the librarian at Johnstown Junior High. Her friend Fritchie, who was a [an] excellent teacher, taught there. [photo: Dilly at Cooperstown Station with Second Chevrolet on September 30, 1925] Dilly also had a job passing out Franklin D. Roosevelt's slogans which people were supposed to put in their windows. Many let her know they were not going to do it. During this time, Dilly volunteered to play the piano for the Vacation Bible School in her father's church, worked with Girl Scouts and made a rock garden for her mother. Rock gardens were the trend in flower gardens, Dilly's consisted of three round flower beds with all the special effects. Dilly's father decided to teach Dilly to drive. While she was learning she flooded the car and stopped it right in front of the trolley, much to her father's embarrassment. That ended her driving lessons. Dilly Goes to Stratford Finally in 1934 she found a job. She worked through Franklin D. Roosevelt's W.P.A. as the school librarian in Stratford, a mountain town in the lower Adirondacks. All grades and high school came to the same school to get an ED-U-CA-SION. "Imagine me teaching ballroom dancing and arithmetic to farmers!" Square dancing was popular recreation in the area but they were eager to learn ballroom dancing so Dilly played the piano while they danced. Outdoor cooking was also an offered subject. "If you have read Jesse Stuart's books about mountain folks, you have an idea of what I faced," remembers Dilly. Many of the folks were squatters on someone else's property so they didn't welcome strangers to their door. Often if you did go to a home, you were greeted with a gun. One day a girl came to fetch the nurse because her mother had been unable to have a bowel movement for more than a week and was in agony. The nurse had tried before to call on the Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 106) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e3c51b9c954c5dfd2d9385d70f5f4cb8.jpg 94d2fd92edba9768d25446ec98b28e98 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Polly Whitney, library page, is riding in the July 4th Parade] Polly's Story Since Mrs. Burrer will never talk about her first day on the job, I feel I must tell my version of that day. Remember I was only in the 7th grade. My sister, in the 3rd grade, and I, in the 4th grade, needed a community service project for Girl Scouts and through our neighbor, Felice Patton, we volunteered to tie magazines at the library. At the end of the project Peg was bored and quit but I continued to volunteer after school on Tuesday and Thursday and also Saturday afternoons. Not only did I tie magazines, I shellacked covers of books following Mrs. Anderson's writng numbers on the spine with white India ink. It was my assignment to shelve the books. Having never heard of Dewey, I arranged the books in order by color, size and shape. The result was no one else could find the books so requests were left by patrons and I retrieved the books when I got to the library. I loved Mrs. Horlocker and Mrs, Anderson and would have done anything for them. I had started seventh grade when Mrs. Burrer was hired. Her first day I rushed in to see how impressed she was going to be with our wonderful library. Her first question to me was "What does this BH mean on this spine?" I replied, "Boys' Horse Story and it goes on this wall." Then I noticed the look on her face and quickly added, "The Girls' Horse Stories are over there: and pointed to the opposite wall. That little woman let out a big, "W H A T ?" After I repeated my explanation she walked to the next shelf of Boys' Mysteries, turned and went back to the desk with instructions for me to bring all the horse books to her. Thee next thing I knew she was using a letter opener to scratch off Mrs. Anderson's carefully written labels and relabeled the books. Needless to say I was very upset and went home fuming. I told my mother I had to quit and could not work for Mrs. Burrer. My mother, in her wisdom, let me rage on until I had vent my anger then said it was okay to quit but I needed to give one month's notice. I immediately wrote my letter of resignation effective in one month and gave it to Mrs. Burrer who made no comment. (I'll always wonder if the two had discussed the issue.) By the end of the month, books were no longer shelved by color, size, or reader's sex. The patrons could find their own books. Needless to say, I forgot about the resignation and stayed with Mrs. Burrer through graduation. By the end of the eighth grade, I became the first page at 10 cents an hour."

When more shelves were needed for the library, O.W. Whitney bought shelving for the back room at the meat market. The children's books were housed on these shelves. Community Library soon outgrew the old meat market building on Cherry Street and moved in 1954 into the newly renovated main room of the first floor of the historic Town Hall located in the center of the village green. The books were packed in boxes put into a utility wagon pulled behind D.C. Hoover's car. Several children, including John Burrer, brought their little wagons and pulled those full of books to the new library. The books were unloaded in the new library and the movers returned the empty boxes to the old library to be refilled. In this manner the entire library was moved in a day.

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

Two board members, Bea Hottle and Mary Ellen Miller, were attending a Methodist Church Circle and noticed Evelyn Dawson and Virginia Owen and recruited them to work in the library. Later Ann Brown joined the force as more open hours were added. Six years after the move into the Town Hall, space again became tight. The village added the east stairs to the second floor and the library became a two story library. After the Farmer's Bank was built, books surrounded the council room. One day Mrs. Bond, the principal from Galena, visited the library and in a very loud voice exclaimed it was a waste of time for her students to use this library because after they located a book in the card catalog, they couldn't find it on the shelves because the books were not properly labeled. Dilly assured her they simply didn't have the funds to purchase a much needed labeler for Betty Brehm to use. Francis Ruthig and Dilly had known for some time that the county budget commission was not allocating all the collected funds to libraries. Although they did issue funds when the need was shown, it was suspected more funds were actually collected. [photo: Community Library 1954-1994] Board member, Mr. Spangler, went to the courthouse and discovered there were indeed other funds. He reported back to Dilly but so did Judge O W Whitney, Jr., who let Dilly know Mr. Spangler's investigation was not appreciated in the courthouse. Not to be intimidated by the Republicans, Mrs. Ruthig and Dilly (both Democrats) went to the next Budget hearing armed with the law, a good budget and the need for more funds to purchase much needed equipment such as the labeler. It took three years for all the funds to go to libraries. Being housed in the center of the square posed a political threat to the library shortly after the Sesquicentennial (1966) when the village was considering cutting up the square for more public parking. While using the phone in the window, Dilly noticed the stakes on the grass and called Bill Whitney at The Sunbury News to inquire the reason. He forwarded her on to the mayor and she was horrified to realize the square was about to cease to exist. Some people Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 122) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/194f85796965f0e91986f2dcc8ec0046.jpg f5bfd7c08270c89d001dc7b9a4786dd4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

When he made the decision not to rebuild the sunbury Electric Shop, he became an assistant cashier under the supervision of his Uncle Rudy.

"We moved out of the old building in the spring, and set up offices in the town hall, until that fall when the new building was ready. The north door was added to the Town Hall and a vault installed to make the building useful as a bank. That year Carleton was promoted to Cashier.

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

He has the interviewee imagine himself on a particular corner of the town square and they take an imaginary walk around the square. The party tells what he remembers in each place as he travels the community. Of course, many side stories make these tapes invaluable. Copies of all the tapes were given to the Commuity [sic Community] Library where is it hoped they will be transcribed and made available to the public. [photo: Retirement Photo from The Sunbury News] Retirement Although they were no longer bringing in paychecks after their retirement in 1975, both Carleton and Dilly continued to be active. Retirement gave them the extra time they needed to continue research on local history. [photo: House Before Addition] [photo: House After the Addition] [photo: The Carleton and Dilly Burrer Addition] In 1979, they completed renovation on the Burrer family home at 46 North Columbus Street, just two blocks from the house which had been their home since their marriage.

"We actually built ourselves a complete home in this addition with everything built in for convenience. I did discover we were too clever when I was in a wheelchair and couldn't get through some of the small passages," noted Dilly. However living in the original Burrer house had been like living in a museum. [photo: Two Special Features Stained Glass Window On the Stair Landing] [photo: Etched Glass Window] The Burrers first community service project upon retirement was a joint effort. For some time the wrought iron cemetery fence along North Columbus Street had been in need of repair. Carleton had the tools and the know how to repair and straighten the fence. Dilly had time to assist so they were able to make the repairs and paint the fence in May of 1975.

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

"The cathedrals were so magnificent," commented Dilly. "I'll never forget the beautiful sound of the bells across the countryside."

Description An account of the resource [page 143] [corresponds to page 134 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] [photo: Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull, Scotland] Trace Dilly's Roots In 1977 Dilly and Carleton went to Scotland to see where the MacNaughton and MacClean [sic Maclean] clans had lived and found a six-story castle which had belonged to the Macleans, Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull. Unfortunately, after a very long boat ride out to the Isle, the castle was closed to the public because it was Sunday. [photo: Dilly on the South Side of Duart Castle, 1977] Carleton's ability to get behind the scenes allowed them to Visit with Sir Charles Maclean. He approached the man tending the garden and explained they were Americans and his wife was a descendent of the Macleans and desired to see the castle. It turned out he was addressing Sir Charles Maclean, the former chief scout who served as housekeeper to the Queen until December 1984. His appointment was only for his life but it gave him many unusual tasks such as planning the wedding for Prince charles and Princess Diana and overseeing the Duke of Windsor's funeral. "We spent a wonderful afternoon with him and got far more than a public tour of the castle," remembers Dilly. Years later this news item was in the local paper when Maclean stepped down. Royal Appointment: Queen Elizabeth is getting a new man to run the royal household and be master of its greatest ceremonies - the suitably blue-blooded 13th Earl of Airlie. He's been appointed Lord Chamberlain to succeed Lord Maclean, 68, who is a former chief scout. Lord Maclean, on the job for 13 years, masterminded every major royal event from the funeral of the Duke of Windsor to the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diane [sic Diana]. Lord Airlie, 58, is the older brother of Angus Ogilvy, who married Princess Alexandra of Kent, the queen's cousin, in 1963.

Description An account of the resource [page 144] [corresponds to page 135 of Flashback: A Story of Two Families] [photo: "Dunderave Castle Private" The Burrers were amazed to discover the MacNaughton side of the family also had a very large, six-story home, Dunderave Castle. It is now owned by a woman who only opens it once a year for select people who pay a large fee which is used to continue the upkeep of the building. The trees and shrubs were so grown up the castle couldn't really be seen well from the road. Dilly was ready to leave but Carleton always had special instincts to get into places where others couldn't. Following a dog bark, Carleton led Dilly down a back road and were able to get a good view of the castle. [photo: Dunderave Castle on the Northeast Shore of Lock Fyne in 1977] Bible Land Tour In 1979 they joined a tour called the Christian Study Mission to the Bible Lands on which they retraced the footsteps of Paul. The group was prepped and told not to use any of the local water for washing, drinking or even brushing teeth. Bottled water was furnished for these uses. They were warned not to eat lettuce or other foods which might be washed in the water. From New York they went to Rome where Dilly got Montezuma's revenge because she ate a beautiful plum washed in their water and missed the Sistine Chapel. When Carleton returned from the tour he found Dilly better and returned with her to see Michelangelo's ceiling. Of course they bought slides but following the renovation of the art, the slides are dark and not nearly as brilliant as the chapel is today. Following Rome they went to Cairo where scrawny cats ate on the same tables as the people. They floated down the Nile on a barge and curious Dilly could see something under the robe of their guide. When the wind caught his robe and blew it up she saw the dirtiest underwear imaginable and was glad she hadn't asked. Next stop was Amman Jordan, then on to Nazareth, Galilee, Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, Mt. of Olives, Bethlehem, Athens, Corinth, and back to New York. For Dilly the two side trips to Masada and Petra were highlights of the trip.

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

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

They toured the city on a trolley, saw the Glockenspiel (delightful mechanical clock) and the once royal brewery. Heidelberg was the next stop then on to Worms where Luther had defended his Protestant faith. This leg of the tour also included a cruise down the Rhine River before flying back to Frankfurt and home. Later, when he needed eye surgery, Carleton asked the doctor to put it off until he took his wife to Scotland. His vision was so poor he couldn't read the signs and traveling by car through the countryside was very scary. Once a truck side-swiped their car and tore off the rear view mirror. Another time they were wedged so tightly between two cars it took another person to assist in moving the cars to avoid scraping the paint. As always, Carleton had studied so much about each area, he made the local history come alive. They took three trips to England and one to Scotland before they hung up their traveling boots. [photo: Amy Burrer and Carleton Discussing Current Mechanical Trends May 34, 1987] Dilly's Carleton Rachel Edwards referred to Carleton as a 'new renaissance man' and that is the way Dilly sees him. He always stayed current with the times but held on to tradition and history. He was always interested in the latest developments in any fields of mechanics, electricty, etc., so the young people found him fascinating.

After retirement he continued with his series of audio-cassettes recorded with senior citizens around the community. He helped write the history of the Sunbury Baptist Church and the Sunbury Lions Club after spending many hours on the microfilm reader in the Community Library. Local newspaper reporters relied on his knowledge of history as well as his ability to accurately recall his observations of events in the community throughout his life.

[image: 6 PACER DG Monday, December 30, 1985 Burrer recalls events in Sunbury By PHYLLIS WERNZ Gazette Reporter Historian Carlton Burrer is a lifetime resident of the Sunbury area whose in- terests go beyond remembrances of his lifetime. He is much more interested in how things were when his father, grand- father and great-grandfather were filling their days. His family has lived in this area since 1855. Burrer was born in Berkshire in 1909 to Karl and Daisy Burrer, but soon moved to Sunbury where he has lived ever since. About as far back as Burrer can remember is 1916 when the mud streets were paved in brick. Soon after, the invention of carbon arc lights replaced the old gas lamps to light up the community in the evenings. "There was continuous pipe rail, a hit- ching rail," says Burrer, "all the way around the square," where folks could tie their horses. "Everyone came to town in their car- riages, wagons or on their horses" where there were two livery stables situated. As the horse and buggy era was drawing to an end, not only were automobile arriv- ing but also a new "movie house." Burrer says the movie house was situated in what is now Fling Hardware and the Knights of Pythias Hall. The building was constructed around 1900 as an Opera House. When silent movies came, a carbon-arc motion picture projector was installed in the second story of the building and local women took turns playing mood music to accompany the films. Burrer remembers in the early 20s, when several folks decided they wanted water in their homes. Each person would lay water lines, some out of metal, some wooden, in front of their home and connect it with their neighbors. A water tower was erected behind the First Baptist Church on Cherry Street, and a pump was installed at a prosperous well, behind what is now Shaw Pharmacy, [photo: Carlton Burrer] which pumped the water to the tower. The water system became more trouble than it was worth, so the "Burrer boys," Carlton's father and his brothers, bought the system for $1 to take over. Burrer's wife, Dorothy, says that many years later the aging water tower came crashing down during a church service and the parishoners instantly knew what had happened. A large part of his life was in the elec- trical business and Burrer tells of how things were different then. He began the business in 1932 in a basement located on the town's square. "Most people didn't have money then, but they did want to get things done." so in return for electrical work, Burrer and his partner, Slim Crawford, many times received eggs, chickens or garden vegetables. Burrer's electrical abilities were passed to him from his fther [sic father] who had an electrical engineering degree from Denison Univer- sity. Being the pioneers of electronics in the area, they were usually the first to own the newest inventions. The first radio to be used in Sunbury was built by Karl Burrer. Carlton's wife remembers their first television around 1948. "We had to pull all the shades because the snow was so bad"" says Mrs. Burrer. Large fires are something everyone remembers and in 1926 almost the entire east side of the square, with the exception of one building, burned to the ground. That one building, known as the Blakely and Williams building, was on the corner and was saved because a fire wall had been built between it and the others. Twelve [crossed out] Thirty [written above] years later, in 1938 [crossed out] 1956 [written above], that same building which housed both Burrer's elec- trical business and the Satterfield grocery market burned down. While he was away in Columbus one day, a gas pipe that lead to an old gas light fix- ture, broke and the fire began. Despite the efforts of the Sunbury, Delaware and Westerville fire depart- ments, who drained all the water supply trying to extinguish the flames, the building was totally destroyed.] Title A name given to the resource Flashback: A Story of Two Families (p. 149) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/03ef361f08e7a99f6721631e2070b6b3.jpg 311cc0e570185619004eaf24f2200579 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

Here They Are Ready to Go to the 50th Anniversary of the Ohio Theater] Baseball On April 1st, 1996, when I arrived at Dilly's house for our weekly trip down memory lane she was aghast at the collapse of umpire John McSherry who was calling the first Cincinnati Red's baseball game of the season. McSherry, only 51 years of age, had recently had a physical and appeared to be fine but a heart attack took his life quickly before all the fans gathered to celebrate the opening of the season. Like the fans at the park, Dilly was concerned for McSherry and disappointed that the game was postponed.

"I kept the early programs so I could relive the excitement of the ball park. I also went to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. I saw Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and many of the other famous players. When I first came to Columbus, I followed the Columbus Redlegs. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad, the parents of my boss at Capital, got a ticket for me so all I had to do was take a trolley across town to the ballpark where I met Mr, and Mrs. Conrad and enjoyed the games. Later when I worked at Community Library, I was lucky my hours allowed me to be flexible and I was always home for the World Series. Carleton never understood how I could listen to every play and be as engrossed asthough I were at the ball park. He would grab his crossword puzzles and work those while I cheered the home runs and double plays." Carleton enjoyed words so he loved crossword puzzles almost as much as Dilly loved baseball. Carleton's Life Ends After 43 years of marriage, Carleton died suddenly in his sleep January 13, 1989. He was survived by his wife, their son John and three beloved grandchildren - Tony, Sherry, and Carol. Since then Carol gave birth to Great-Grandson Jay Jay Taylor. Determined to be as independent as ever, Dilly was walking to the dentist's office across town and up a steep hill when she fell and broke a hip. The injury has continued to vex her through the years. Fortunately, John has been there to help her when needed. [photo: Carleton Burrer, 64 March, 1974] [photo: Great-Grandson Jay Jay Taylor] Dilly has continued to draw strength through her family and her Lutheran background as she continues her life.

And of course, she continues on with her research into the family history and keeps up with all the research being done by others. Following in Carleton's footsteps, she continues to keep abreast of the affairs of the village and offers her support whenever she can.

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

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

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

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

Elizabeth and some of the children moved to Ohio after James' death and changed the spelling of the name to Gammill. She later moved on to Jefferson County, Iowa, with Elizabeth and James and their families, where she died and is buried. Frederick Gemmill October 10, 1822, Frederick married Elizabeth Adams (April 12, 1799-May 21, 1881), daughter of William and Rebekah (Douglas) Adams in York, York County, Pennsylvania.

He built the house at 46 North Columbus for his daughter and G.J. Burrer as well as the bank barn behind the house. The houses at 60 and 74 North Vernon as well as those at 126 and 136 South Columbus Street were products of "Shrive"'s workmanship. All the houses have a basic 'square frame' construction and are designed with a certain dignity which was his mark. Many other houses and farms were purchased by him, renovated and then sold. It was "Shrive"'s character to rise early and put in long days. In addition to being a hard worker, he was considered a good influential citizen. On February 21, 1895, Mary died. Six years later he married Mrs. Jospehine Harrison. "Shrive" died July 12, 1909, and is buried in Sunbury Memorial Park with his wife, Mary, and son, Charles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

If I said too much, I didn't mean to offend. If I've left it unsaid, I'm sorry. As Robert Frost said in his poem, "Reluctance" Out through the field and the woods And over the walls I have wended; I have climbed the hills of view And looked at the world and descended, I have come by the highway home, And lo, it is ended.

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unnumbered page 1 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] OUR GRANDFATHER, DANIEL BENNETT, JR. DANIEL BENNETT, Jr. was born just one hundred fifty years ago. Cities, states, colleges and churches always recognize in some special manner the completion of one hundred fifty years of their history. It is cus- tomary also, to celebrate the sesqui-centennial of the birth of our statesmen, authors, artists and others who have made a worthy contribution to our heritage. It would seem equally appropriate for us to recognize the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birth of this forefather of the Bennett Family - especially so, since he was a person so worthy of our admiration and esteem. We, Louise Bennett Pinney and Raymond Durling Bennett, have become increasingly interested in the last few years in learning what we can about our family back- ground and heritage. We hope we may be able to add some details to the valuable study published by Aunt Mertie Smith in 1924 under the title "Genealogy of Immi- grant Edward Bennett and Descendants", as well as to ex- plore some other branches of our ancestry. We are hoping that time and health will permit us to compile some of our findings so that they will be of interest to younger generations as they have been to us. As we have been comparing and exchanging our information recently, the question inevitably arose: What could be more appropri- ate, in this year 1969, than to tell the story of the forefather of us all - our grandfather, Daniel Bennett, Jr.? Grandfather Bennett was born March 8, 1819, one mile west of Center Village, in Harlem Township, Delaware County, Ohio. He lived all his long life of eighty-three years within a mile of his birthplace; but his life, his interests and his influence were much broader than the boundaries of any one small locality.

Since so much of the life and experience of at least three generations of the Ben- nett family - and also of our closely related families - Adams, Mossman and Durling - is centered in Harlem Town- ship, a brief statement about this township may be of in- terest. Harlem Township is located in the extreme south- east corner of Delaware County, Ohio. The land of the township is almost uniformly level, except near the lower parts of two small streams that eventually feed into Big Walnut Creek. According to J. R. Lytle's History of Delaware County (1908), the character of the soil of Har- lem Township "is the most uniform of that of any of the eighteen townships of the county. It is a deep black loam, and very productive: the general yield of all ce- real and vegetable products in the township is much above the average for the county. There is no waste land. The timber in the native forest was luxuriant.... Almost the entire population is engaged in farming.... Along and near the lower part of Duncan Run there are extensive stone quarries, which produce Waverly stone of the very best quality, but they have been worked very little." Small wonder, is it, that several pioneer families of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, decided to settle in this area? Every history of Harlem Township tells the fol- lowing story relation to what is now the south-west quarter of the township: *Benajah Cook was a Connecticut Yankee with a college education, who came to Ohio in 1805 -06. Mr. Cook and his family traveled to Ohio by wagon and carried under the rear axle a bucket of lard, in which was buried the family fortune, in gold coin. When they reached Granville, they camped out and Mr. Cook started looking for land to purchase. Land sales were frequently conducted by the Franklin County Sheriff at Franklinton (now a part of Columbus) and land speculators attended these sales and dominated the bidding. If an outsider tried to buy the land they would run up the price on him. Terms of the sales were cash in hand. *Earl M. Murphy - The Adams Family History 1750-1967. and J. R.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 3 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Benajah attended some of these sales and became familiar with their methods. When he learned that 4000 acres of the land that he had chosen were to be sold to the high- est bidder by the Sheriff, he immediately prepared him- self with the necessary funds, as he hoped to make the pur- chase in case he became the lucky bidder. He was going among strangers, of course, and was liable to be robbed. For his own protection, he dressed himself in old clothes covered with patches and rags, permitted his beard to grow long, put on a dirtier shirt than usual; in short, he presented an appearance of wretchedness and poverty. Beneath his patches and rags, he concealed his gold coin. No one suspected that he had any money or was other than a beggar, and when he commenced to bid, the rival bid- ders assumed that his bidding was a farce and ceased their competition. The going price for land at that time was about two dollars an acre. Mr. Cook bid 42 cents an acre, and when no one bid against him, the bidding was closed. He then ripped off his patches, dug out the gold coin and paid for the land, 4000 acres, $1680.00. Mr. Cook kept 500 acres and sold the rest, which included the area in which the homes and farms and activities of Grand- father Bennett and his father and some of his brothers were later located. OUR GRANDFATHER, DANIEL BENNETT came from a long line of American pioneers which begins with Edward Benet, who came from Wiltshire, England to New England about 1636. According to genealogical historians, the Benets of Wiltshire, England are considered to have been the most ancient family of that name in England. The fifth generation of the family in America, included ISHMAEL BENNET, SR. (1730-1820), who was the grandfather of our grandfather, Daniel Bennett, Jr. Ishamael Bennet was born in Rhode Island, later moved to Connecticut, where he married.

He served as a private in the Revolutionary War. With his children, he was in Pittston Fort at the time of the Battle of Wyoming, Penn- sylvania, July 3, 1778. The surrender of this fort to an army of English soldiers and their Indian allies was followed by the notorious Wyoming Massacre, one of the most bloody and revolting incidents of the entire War, in which the Indians, after the capitulation of the fort, began the most ruthless torture and massacre of those, who had surrendered. Ishmael, with his three children, es- caped from the massacre, but he was able to observe some of the murderous orgy from a safe distance. After the War, about 1783, Ishmael married Abigail Weeks, whose husband and three sons had been brutally murdered by the Indians at Wyoming. Abigail, after experiencing the deep tragedy of Wyoming, became the mother of a second family of five children. Years later, in 1816, she and her husband moved from eastern Pennsylvania to Harlem Township, to join their son Daniel, who had come to Ohio a few years earlier. She was then 65 years of age. She lived to the good old age of 88 years. Three cheers for Great-great-grand- mother Abigail! Our great-grandfather, DANIEL BENNET, SR. (1783-1861) was the eldest of the five children born to Ishmael and Abigail Bennet, and was the father of our grandfather Daniel Bennett, Jr. A history of the Harlem Methodist Church, written by Mr. Kelly Adams, in 1954, states that "in 1809 Miss Sarah Adams, a beautiful young lady of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, married the Rever- end Daniel Bennet".

After coming to Ohio, he first bought 150 acres from Benajah Cook; later he added 200 more. Within three years they had cleared some land, built themselves log cabins, and, in co-operation with other pioneers, had built the first church (a log structure) in Harlem Town- ship, - in 1812, on land owned by Benajah Cook. Daniel Bennet, Sr. was also a preacher and preached the first sermon in this new church. When a young man, he had been licensed to preach in the Methodist Church and, shortly after coming to Ohio, he was ordained. Baskin's History of Delaware County* tells us that for over fifty years "he was a faithful worker in the church and during that time received no pay for his labor. For many years his house was a preaching point, and when building his last residence, he built one large room for that purpose." His home was located the the south-east corner of the in- tersection of Delaware County Roads #18 and #25, one mile directly west of Center Village. Daniel and Sarah Ben- net had eleven children. Baskin's History tells us that "they both lived to see all of their children married and all members of the church". Ishmael and Abigail Bennet and Daniel, Sr. and Sarah Bennet are all buried side by side in the cemetery at Harlem. Remarkably, their gravestones have not been discolored by age, but are still as clean and glistening white as when they were erected, perhaps over a century ago. DANIEL BENNETT, JR., our grandfather, with whom we are chiefly concerned, was the seventh of the eleven children of Daniel, Sr. and Sarah Bennet. Un- fortunately, we know very little about Daniel's early life.

This strong constitution must have been devel- oped by years of hard toil. He was born when the country was largely a wilderness. He had helped to fell the for- ests, roll the logs, till the soil with rude implements drawn by oxen and reap the grain with the sickle. He probably followed the winding path by blazed trees through dense forests on horseback to Lancaster, the nearest place where grinding could be obtained. On his father's farm there was a brick kiln and we can imagine that Daniel, Jr. helped in making the brick. The old Harlem Church, built in 1838, was one of the buildings made with brick from this kiln.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 7 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Daniel Bennett, Jr. married Margaret Mossman November 30, 1848. He was twenty-nine and she was six- teen years of age. Margaret Mossman Bennett was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, May 2, 1832, and at the age of four years, moved to Ohio in a wagon, with her parents, Robert and Anna Mossman. They settled near Granville, but soon afterward moved to Harlem Township, where Marga- ret spent the remainder of her life. For a time after their marriage, she and her husband lived with her par- ents. Daniel and Margaret Bennett had four children, all of whom lived to maturity, married and became heads of families. In order of birth they were: Harwell L. (1852-1917); Lillie May (1859-1930), the wife of M. L. Williams; Russell Bigelow (1862-1927); and Mertie Lee (1866-1960), the wife of Dr. McKendree Smith. Grandfather Bennett owned and operated a farm of 150 acres. About 1865, he built an eight-room brick house, using brick produced on his own farm. The house, still standing, is located at the south-east corner of the intersection of Delaware County Roads #17 and #25, one mile north of Harlem, one mile directly west of his birth- place, and two miles directly west of Center Village. During his lifetime, the intersection came to be known as "Bennett's Corners". The old "brick pond", from which the clay used in making the brick for the house was exca- vated, is well remembered as a summer recreation center where his young grandsons, Ernest, Ray and Floyd, used to paddle homemade rafts on its muddy water.

As early as 1874, we find in son Harwell's diary many entries such as these: March 26, 1874 Worked at the quarry. April 16, 1874 Began opening a new stone quarry at Harlem. April 27, 1874 Worked in the quarry for Pa. June 2, 1874 Worked in the stone quarry. June 13, 1874 Cutting stone. Sept. 10, 1874 Worked in the stone quarry. Oct. 2, 1874 Cut stone and delivered a load. We recall that one of Grandfather's major inter- ests was the developement of good roads, by converting the dirt roads of the township into hard stone pikes, so that farmers could haul their produce and persons could travel the year round, regardless of the weather condi- tions. During the last ten years of his life, he was re- sponsible for installing stone crushing equipment in the Duncan Run quarry to provide stone for paving many of the nearby roads. Probably the happiest events in the lives of Grandfather and Grandmother Bennett were those occasions when they were surrounded by their family- children and grandchildren. To their sons and daughters who deeply respected and loved their parents, Daniel and Margaret Bennett were always "Pa" and "Ma". To the grandchildren, they were "Grandpa" and "Grandma". And to their many friends and neighbors, in their later years, they were known affectionately as "Uncle Dan'l" and "Aunt Margaret". They felt fortunate because the families of all four chil- dren lived within convenient driving distance, even in the horse-and-buggy days, of the old home. The farthest away were Mertie Smith and family, who had moved to Colum- bus, while Russell and Harwell lived in nearby Westerville. They were always welcome to the old home at any time.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 10 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Grandfather Bennett was devoted to his grand- children. He could be counted upon to bring them some candy whenever he came home from a trip to the country store. Ray remembers to this day, accurately, the fol- lowing nonsense rhyme which Grandpa took great delight in teaching to his little grandsons: Zee roo die hay dad Ben hay dad Pipe pap - Snip snap Bender brass - Go to grass The one never-to-be-forgotten annual family gathering, of course, came at Christmas time. The Christmas dinner was always a feast, topped off with Grandma's annual masterpiece, the hickory nut cake. Three generations, fifteen to eighteen person, would gather around the long extension table, with its solid walnut top and solid cherry base- the same table that now, beautifully refinished serves the fourth and fifth generations in Eleanor and Paul Gentzel's attractive Early American dining room in Rocky River, Ohio Without doubt, the most memorable social event of all occurred in 1898.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to page 11 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] All of the family and a host of friends gathered in the old home to celebrate with Daniel and Margaret Bennett their fifty years of happy, busy and very useful life to- gether. A remarkable fifty years it was: All of their sons and daughters, with their wives and husbands and chil- dren (except for two grandchildren, who had died in very early infancy) were living and were present - a remarkable record of fifty years of family ties unbroken by death. Love for his church, with a deep Christian faith, was a dominant element and a major interest dur- ing Grandfather's entire life. He was a member of the Methodist Church for over seventy-one years, more than fifty of which he was a class leader. Mr. Kelly Adams, in his History of the Harlem Methodist Church, tells us that Grandfather Bennett was a very generous contributor toward the cost of building the church in 1838. This church was always an object of his devotion, and weather was never too bad to keep him from attending, and partici- pating in its services. The old church building one- half mile north of Harlem, is still standing. Daniel Bennett had never known illness until, in the eighty-third year of his life, in December 1901, he suffered a stroke. During most of his remaining twelve weeks, he was able to walk and even to attend church, but was deprived almost entirely of his speech. He would sometimes try very hard to converse with friends, but, being unable to do so, would turn it aside with a smile. During such times as he was able to make his thoughts known in broken sentences, he had nothing to say about his farm, but his whole thought seemed to be about the church and about how he might do a little more good in the few days he had left to work. When anyone would sing to him one of his favorite hymns, his lips would seem to follow the words, although he could not utter the sounds.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 12 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Grandfather and Grandmother lived to complete over fifty-three years of life together. Grandfather's death occurred March 13, 1902 at age 83 years and five days. Grandmother died eight months later, November 15, 1902. In 1923, a most fitting memorial to his father was given to the Westerville Methodist Church by Russell Bennett. In that year, when the church sanctuary was re- modled, Russell presented a pipe organ to the church in memory of his father - a man who had always loved the old, familiar hymns of the church. The Dedication Service for the Bennett Memorial Organ was held on December 16, 1923. The organ was play- ed by Rowland P. Downing, then organist for the Broad Street Presbyterian Church of Columbus. Mr. Downing was a resident of Westerville and a native of Harlem Township, his boyhood home having been on a farm adjoining that of our Grandfather Bennett. When the new church was built in 1958-59, the old organ had served its purpose and was replaced by a new one given by the Johnston families. The wood cover- ing of the pipes of the old organ was used for paneling the walls of the ladies' lounge of the new church; thus a part of the old organ still carries on in the church now known as the Messiah United Methodist Church of West- erville, Ohio. We close this sesqui-centennial story by quoting excerpts from a letter written to Harwell Bennett on May 14, 1902, by Dr. J. C. Arbuckle, upon having heard of Grandfather Bennett's death. Rev. Arbuckle had been Superintendent of the Columbus District of the Methodist Church and had had frequent contacts with Daniel Bennett at meetings with the Harlem Church.

He was an honor to his friends, his family and his community.... Daniel Bennett was, first, a Christian man. He stood with open heart and hand ready to help in every good word and work.... He was faithful, reliable, could be counted upon.... He be- lieved in the church. He gave to the church his time, money and efforts. Daniel Bennett was a man who made his life stand for something in real benefit and help- fulness to others.... I admired him for his clean cut convictions, his courage, his generous spirit, and for his noble and manly life.... He was no ordinary man.... He left to us the heritage of a beautiful Christian life."
