Notes on birth and death dates from Bev VanScoy Ruff 8/7/2004 blruff@gcfn. org I recorded the tombstone information for Abraham Hess as "died 7-1-1852 a ge 81 y" from information found in Vol 4 Cemetery Records Champaign Co, O h, Urbana Chapter DAR 1964 -R 929.5 D 265u -at the Ohio Historical Socie ty in Columbus, Ohio. I also viewed the tombstone with my husband in 1976 and we read it to s ay "Abraham Hess "died July 1 1852 81 years 1 m 12 d" . Since reading yo ur note about his will and notes from some other family histories that I h ave seen on the internet, I changed my information to read d. 1857 but wi th a note to myself about the apparent discrepancy. I have asked my sist er living in Urbana to recheck the stones to verify the deaths of both Abr aham and Catherine as I also noticed the discrepancy in the ages on the ce nsus. I have learned that the census information is not always a certainty, b ut their age difference from tombstone to census is pretty wide. If her a ge at death was 79 instead of 74 it would help answer some questio ns . . . her birth would be 9-30-1777 and if he died in 1852, his bir th date would be May 19, 1771 - if he died in 1857. his birth date wou ld be May 19, 1776 and that would make their ages approx. 1 year apa rt as shown on the census. It makes sense and I can only hope . . . . My concern is that the stone was over 100 years old in 1964 and older sti ll when we looked at it which may have led to difficulty in reading i t. I don't know how much success my sister will have. I guess at this p oint I will have to accept the year of date given in the will as being acc urate. When I am up and about again, I intend to visit the Urbana courthouse a nd look at court records to see if I can verify a lot of dates and informa tion from original records if they still exist - the will of Abraham He ss I, marriage records for Abraham Hess II, search for a will for Jacob He ss and Peter Hess which may or may not clear up some questions about the ir families, too. And look for death notices for both Abraham and Catheri ne. Bev VanScoy Ruff blruff@gcfn.org

[HI41756] (Research):Compiled via research of numerous people including Mary Burgner, Eliza Ruden, Cheryl Cline, Barbara Klima, Randy Largent, Karen Anne Nicholas, and myself.........Anita Fiedler. Now October 1999 (Revised Aug 2008)
Credit for information we will share herein should be given to numerous persons who have contributed greatly. Mary Burgner, Cheryl Cline, Gail Martin, Cheryl Haas, Karen Nicholas, Randy Largent and numerous others. Anita Fiedler is acting as coordinator along with the superb gatherings submitted by Sandi Evilsizer Kosack.

Most research information on the family from Anita «u»anitajean@cfl.rr.com
«/u»
«u»Our project is twofold. «/u»We want to verify the children of this couple, and to find parents for both James Ford and Blanche West. At this time, we have no real proof of parents of either. Just a theory or two. I would like to find a place for James in the ancestry of the immigrant Thomas Ford 1635-1682 and sp. Elizabeth. No concrete proof whatsoever at this time. Circumstantial evidence only.

First, what do we know of James and Blanche West Ford? Mary Burgner found the couple first in 1776 census Spesutia Lower Hundred Harford Co., MD, though we have not learned where they were MARRIED. In the 1776 census James was 22; Blanch 23; and baby Mary one month. There were other Ford households nearby, but at this time we have no proof that James was connected to them.

Mary also researched that James was in the Revolutionary War, and has shared documents proving this.

Mary's research also shows that James and Blanche were paying taxes in Harford Co. until at least 1783, but their son John Ford was supposed to have been born in Maryland in 1790, so supposedly the family was there until then. We have no census record for James and Blanche Ford after the 1776 in MD, though they paid taxes in Harford Co until at least 1783. (Burgner) There is a family of a James Ford recorded in 1790 census who COULD be our James. No proof, and the people in the household do not seem to match.
Anita discovered that Blanche had two sisters.....Mary and Susannah.....both married in Harford Co. in the 1780s. (Will specify later.)

Mary Burgner began her search in Maryland because of biographical references of some of the children of James and Blanche, mentioning origins in that State. She did research in primary sources in Maryland for census, and tax records, then sent for Revolutionary War records for James from National Archives.

James and Blanche were in Mason Co., KY by at least 1793 when James paid taxes there. James paid the taxes until 1796. In 1797 Blanche Ford was paying the taxes in Mason Co., so we are assuming that James must have died about 1796/1797. We have no record for James after 1796. He would have been only about 42 years old at that time. A Charles Ford was paying taxes in Mason Co. KY at the same time as James/Blanche. We do not know who this Charles Ford was.

Blanche Ford was paying taxes in Fleming Co., KY 1801-1805. Also paying taxes Fleming Co. was Joseph Ford. We think this was Joseph Ford that m. Catherine Snell in 1803 in Fleming Co., probable son of James and Blanche. Since Joseph pd. taxes in 1806, and Blanche did not, we wonder if Blanche was then living with Joseph. A Thomas Ford was paying taxes, still, in 1808. This may have been Thomas that later m. Rebecca McGill in Champaign County, another son of James and Blanche West Ford. No Fords were listed as paying taxes after 1809. We feel our groups went to Champaign Co., Ohio by that time.
Next we have proof of the presence of Blanche Ford in Champaign Co., Oh. This is where we learned of Blanche's two sisters, as these girls were married in Harford Co., MD in appropriate years.

[NI41757] Her possible middle name was Charlotte

[HI41757] (Research):We think that the mother Blanche Ford, Joseph and Catherine Snell Ford, James and Sarah Jane Ford Ashing, and Francis and Mary Ford Stevenson all left KY about 1808 and went to Champaign Co., OH

[DI41757] We note here that in the 1840 household of Joseph Ford and his wife Catherine Snell there was a female of age 70-80. Since Blanche would have been about 81 in 1840, it is quite likely that this would have been our ancestress. If indeed this was our Blanche West Ford, we have no record of when or where she died. Oral tradition says that she lived to be quite elderly when she died.

1850 and 1870 census data report his birth year to be about 1811. The da te recorded on the family page (above) was taken from his tombstone.

He married Mary Niew on 3 Mar 1834 in Mechanicsburg, Ohio and they had 9 c hildren between 1836 & 1857.

Their 5th child Milton Henry Guyton, a Civil War Veteran, is my ancesto r, my great great grandfather.

Kelly Suzanne Russell, 48, of Urbana, entered eternity, Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 1:03 P.M. in the Ohio State University Medical Center. She was born August 18, 1960 in Bellefontaine, OH.

She was an avid reader and spent many years of her life in the studies of philosophy and religions and deeper meaning of life.

She loved animals, enjoyed music, loved books, playing cards (even though she'd always accuse you of cheating), mushroom hunting, fireworks, watching sports on TV with Tony, but enjoyed nothing more than cooking big holiday dinners for her boys; Tony, Andy and Matt. She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.

Kelly leaves behind her loving soul mate of 27 years, Anthony Lee Russell, and two cherished sons; Andrew Lee Russell of Columbus and Matthew Claude Russell and Amanda Lockard of Urbana, her mother, Cynthia Maxwell of Urbana, mother-in-law, Willa Dean Russell of Urbana, two sisters; Shelly Lynn Maxwell of Sarasota, FL, and Leslie Jo O'Connell of Urbana, two brothers; John Joseph Maxwell III and his wife Julie and Michael Laten Maxwell and his wife Jennifer both of Urbana, brother-in-law, Michael Russell and his wife Ann of Urbana, sisters-in-law, Tondra Faye Russell of Russells Point, and Carla Lindsey of Urbana, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father Jerry Kidston Wallace and father-in-law, Robert Russell, grandparents, Claude and Catherine Shafer and Don and Grace Wallace and beloved pets Callie and Bruce.

Memorial services will be held at 6:00 P.M. Wednesday, December 10, 2008 in the WALTER-SCHOEDINGER FUNERAL HOME, Urbana. The family will receive friends after the service until 8:00 P.M.

John Weaver was a Revolutionary War soldier, a Democrat and a farmer. John ’s great-grandfather was Caspar Weber. Caspar was born in Germany in 17 00 and immigrated to America in 1720. Caspar’s son, Christopher, was bo rn in 1731 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Christopher would many An na Elizabeth Lintzin, in a Lutheran Church, in Lancaster County. In 174 9, John Weaver, the oldest of four sons and three daughters, was born to C hristopher and Anna. America was the “promised land” and it was expanding westward. At fir st it was a trickle, but soon it would be a flood of land seekers traveli ng along the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road. This was a major American pion eer road that began in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed through the Roan oke Gap and on southward into the rolling red hills of South Carolina. Bec ause this was such a large, ‘empty country full of cheap land, eventual ly Christopher Weber and his family would be swept into the westward tide. The Webers’ journey would take them 110 miles west on the Great Philadelph ia Wagon Road. Their most likely mode of transportation was the six-hor se drawn, boat-shaped Conestoga wagon. They would pass the settlemen ts of York, Gettysburg, Hagerstown and eventually arrive at their new ho me at Sleepy Creek, Berkeley County, Colony of Virginia. With this sta rt in a new land and the fact that most Colonists were British and English -speaking, Christopher changed the family name to Weaver. With the onset of the Revolutionary War, Berkeley County would quickly fe el immediate and profound effects. As early as 1777, soldiers from the Ber keley County militia were involved in the Battle of Brandywine, Pennsylvan ia. In that battle George Washington tried to prevent General William Ho we from taking Philadelphia. It was a British victory with the outnumber ed American army being driven from the field. Afterward, from 1778-1779 t he militia was garrisoned 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, at Fort McInto sh, Pennsylvania. At the age of 31, John Weaver enlisted in the Berkeley County Militia in 1 780 and served until 1783. During his enlistment the Berkeley County Milit ia saw action at the Battle of Cowpens, South Carolina, the Siege of Yo rk and guarded prisoners that were taken at Yorktown, all in 1781. On t he homefront. Christopher Weaver had provided wheat from his faun to the M ilitia of Virginia. He was paid 122 Pounds Sterling and 10 Shillings on Oc tober 21, 1780. It must be noted that Christopher Weaver had a total of fo ur sons who served in the Revolutionary War. Their names were William, Chr istopher Jr., Henry and John. By 1783, Britain and the victorious Americans were negotiating peace in Pa ris, France On June 18, 1783, John Weaver was ordered to remain on furlou gh until a possible recall and was released from service. This was a w ay to keep soldiers bound to service in case hostilities broke out agai n. On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed and then ratifi ed by the Continental Congress on January 14, 1784. Thus, officially end ed all hostilities. Back in Berkeley County, the marriage of John Weaver and Catherine Peckenp augh occurred about 1782 and was followed by the birth of their first chil d, John Jr., in 1783. He would be the oldest of nine children. Sadly, in 1 788, the Weaver family would lose its patriarch, Christopher Weaver, in Sl eepy Creek, Berkeley County, Colony of Virginia. The will of Christopher Weaver provides an interesting insight into the in ner dynamics of the Weaver family. The document stipulates an equal distri bution of the estate to the seven children, but only upon the death of h is wife, Elizabeth. Furthermore, "‘if John Weaver is not satisfied, [he i s] to be paid [only] five Shillings Sterling out of the estate.” This wa .~ probably inserted either to prevent a famil) quarrel or to remedy a cur rent situation. Ultimately, when Elizabeth does die, the famil) will separ ate. By now, the war was an event of the past, and the country was being elevat ed with a new spirit. A combination of factors would steer National polic y. The British, at the peace table in Paris in 1783, ceded the entire Nort hwest Territories to the United States. The U.S. Congress created the Virg inia Military District of Ohio, which was reserved for Virginia’s Revoluti onary War soldiers. In 1779, the Virginia State Legislature determined th at the number of acres distributed would be according to rank and yea rs of service of the recipient. For instance, a Major General was entitl ed to 15,000 acres and a soldier serving three years could receive 100 acr es. In 1800, John Weaver received 100 acres for his service in the milit ia of Berkeley County, Virginia. John was a man of considerable substance and would bring with him all of t he necessary farming implements and stock. He was not satisfied, [he i s] to be paid [only] fiv~ Shillings Sterling out of the estate.” This wa .~ probably inserted either to prevent a famil) quarrel or to remedy a cur rent situation. Ultimately, when Elizabeth does die, the famil) will separ ate. After the death of their mother Elizabeth, the Weaver family again beca me part of the westward migration. In 1802, John Weaver’s brothers Willi am and Christopher Jr., left Berkeley County and traveled through Kentuc ky on their way to Champaign County, Ohio. The only brother to stay in Ber keley County, VA, was Henry Weaver. In 1806, John Weaver’s oldest son, Jo hn Jr., married Christianna Miller. In 1807, John Jr. and his new wife imm igrated to Clermont County, Ohio. Upon arrival, they rented a farm from Ez ekial Dimmitt near Batavia. Word would get back to John Weaver that Clenno nt County was plentiful of fertile and undeveloped farm land. By 1810, Jo hn Weaver would leave Virginia with his eight children and join his s on in Clermont County, Ohio. John was a man of considerable substance and would bring with him all of t he necessary farming implements and stock. He was prepared to make a new l ife for his large family. Between the years 1812 and 1827, John purchas ed over 805 acres of land in Clermont County. His first home was a log cab in. Later a wood structure house was built that eventually gave way to a b rick-style home. He would even build a windmill on the farm. In 1829, John!s wife Catherine would pass away. John died in 1831, and th ey are now both buried together on their original farm property. After Joh nts death, Congress liberalized the service-pension acts benefiting Revolu tionary War veterans. In 1833, the heirs to the estate of John Weaver appl ied and received a land grant from the President of the United States, And rew Jackson, for 682 acres. To this day, ancestors of the Weaver family st ill occupy land once owned by John Weaver, Revolutionary War veteran.

A HISTORY OF ST. PARIS published in 1965 by B.H. Stone Printer and Publish er and found at the St. Paris Library states:

Not so many years ago, as time is reckoned in the general scheme of thi ngs, the spot on which St. Paris now stands was a wilderness where the Ind ians with their bows and arrows were free to roam.
Then one day, our forefathers began to arrive without even a wagon tra ck to show them the way. They came from the Shenandoah Valley in Virgini a, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. In 1813, David Huffman, his wife and elev en children came from Culpepper, Kentucky, and settled in this area. On S eptember 21, 1831 he platted the town of St. Paris on his own half secti on of land. He was farsighted enough to see that this would make a splend id location for is dream town. It was situated just east of the second hi ghest point in Ohio, on a state road between Urbana and Piqua. It was a s plendid agricultural district. Huffman built the first house in the villa ge of hewed logs, and it stood on the northwest corner of what is now t he intersection of Main and Springfield Streets.
He was a proprietor of a store, the first postmaster, and he owned a nd operated a tanyard, a saw mill and a grist mill. All this....without t he aid of a telephone or an automobile! He was indeed a superman.
When there were just two houses in town a baby boy was born to Peter a nd Catharine Apple. They named him Adam Apple, and he had the distincti on of being the first child born in St. Paris.
The article continues with other historical facts about St. Paris.

History of Champaign County, W. H. Beers, 1881 found at the Champaign Coun ty Library states on p. 451:
St. Paris - The flourishing and enterprising town bearing the above na me is prettily situated, in a basin as it were, on a very high elevati on of ground. It was named after the metropolis of France by David Huffm an who laid it out in 1831. On learning of a "New Paris" in this stat e, he prefixed to it the Saint, to avoid any difficulty that might occ ur in mail matters. The lots were surveyed by the old pioneer surveyor, J ohn Arrowsmith. The first house in the town was built by David Huffma n; a hewed-log house, standing on the northwest corner of Springfield a nd Main streets. It was a very neat piece of work, carefully made by Huff man himself, and was the pride of the neighborhood. The first frame house of any note was built by John Falkner, soon after the town had been laid out. It is now the American Hotel,on Main street. Huffman was the first merchant, inn-keeper and Postmaster.

Death Notice, West Liberty Banner, dtg. October 1, 1891 DEATH OF SAMUEL SOWER
Mr. Samuel Sower, a well known farmer, who resided on the Forsyth fa rm north of town, died Tuesday, September 29, 1891, about noon, after an i llness of over three weeks with typhoid fever. He was about 65 years of a ge. The funeral services will be held at the M. E. church in this plac e, Thursday, at 2 p. m. conducted by Rev. John. I. Hillman.Obituary, West Lib erty Banner, dtg. October 8, 1891 Samuel Sower was born near Springfield ,Clark county, Ohio, January 31, 1826, and died at his home near West Libe rty, Logan county, Ohio, September 29, 1891, after an illness of about th ree weeks. Typhoid fever was the immediate cause of is death. On Janua ry 2, 1851, he was married to Miss Mary E. King, of Tremont City, who sti ll lives to mourn the loss of him who had been her companion for more than forty years. Nine children were born of this union; four so ns and one daughter remain to comfort their mother. Mr. Sower had be en a farmer most of his life, and his integrity was unquestioned by all w ho knew him. In 18?? he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcop al church. That bright experience never faded from his memory and he lov ed to refer to the time of his conversion. For a number of years he he ld the important position of class leader and was a zealous worker in t he cause of Christ. Of late years his infirmities prevented the activiti es of former years, but he never lost interest in the church and the consc iousness of Christ's presence and power. As his pastor I visited him a few hours before he died. His face would brighten as I tried to ta lk to him of his Savior and the promises of God. He assured me that all w as well and just before I left, with considerable effort he exclaimed, "Pr ecious Jesus." It seemed as if he wanted to give one more testimony to t he saving power of Christ. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord ." J. I. H.

Death book 2 p. 324 for Logan County records the death of Samuel as Octob er 29, 1891, but I believe that is wrong as I found two obituaries for Sep tember 29, 1891.

Rev. John Pence

The pioneer fathers in the ministry of the Reformed Church in the "West ," one by one, are passing away, and, already "faint and few," they soon w ill have gone from among us to their eternal reward. They experienced priv ations and endured hardships, but labored faithfully and persevering ly in the Master's service, and accomplished a good foundation work. We li ve upon the results of their labors, travel over the beaten paths of the ir earlier footsteps, and enjoy the inheritance bequeathed to us bu the ir self-denying efforts; and our sense of obligation and affection shou ld inspire us to kindly remembrance of their Christian virtues and their w ork in the Lord.

Rev. John Pence (written originally Bentz), son of Henry Pence, and his wi fe Catharine, whose maiden name was Manger, was born in Rockingham Count y, Va., December 13th, 1799. He descended from Christian parents,(1) his f ather being a member of the Lutheran Church, and his mother of the Reform ed Church. He was consecrated to the Lord by baptism in the Peaked Mounta in Church, July 2nd, 1800, by Rev. John Brown. About 1810 his parents remo ved to Warren Co., O., and settled in the vicinity of Springboro, whe re he spent the next ten years of his life with his parents in farming.

From early life he was tenderhearted and susceptible of serious impression s, being of a sympathetic nature and easily moved to tears, and as ear ly as in his fifteenth year he became religiously inclined, and deeply exe rcised about his soul's salvation. Feeling that he was a sinner in the sig ht of God, he sought the Lord with a believing heart, and after much spiri tual conflict, he realized the pardoning favor of God, and was enabl ed to rejoice in the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ. And having at tended a course of catechetical instruction, with fifteen other young pers ons, and making public profession of religion through faith in the savio r, he with the other catechumens, was received by confirmation into full c ommunion with the Reformed Church, in the old log church of the Salem (n ow Springboro) congregation in June, 1817, by Rev,. Thomas Winters.

Soon after his conversion he became impressed with the idea of being call ed to preach the gospel of grace and salvation to his fellow men. These im pressions became gradually deepened and strengthened, especially so aft er he had publicly consecrated himself to the service of God, and regular ly united with the church. But, as in the case of many worthy and pious yo ung men, he could see no way open to secure the necessary preparations f or the sacred and responsible office of the gospel ministry. He lacked pec uniary means as well as a proper preparatory education; and no kind frie nd appeared proffer assistance, or speak a word of encouragement. The Lor d, however, had a work for him to do, and gradually opened the way, and en abled him in due time to become an ambassador for Christ. During the inter val of about three years between his union with the church and his enteri ng upon a course of study, nothing specially transpired, as he continu ed to labor on the farm until he was over twenty-one years of age.

His early educational advantages were meager and unsatisfactory. The fir st winter after settling in Ohio, his father taught him the German alphabe t, and in about two or three months he had progressed so far in the Germ an language as to be able to master "common easy reading." In the followi ng spring he started to an English school taught in the neighborhood. He w hole of his primary or preparative education was received in the common sc hools, as they then existed in the State of Ohio, under five or six differ ent teachers. This course of education, confined to three or four mont hs in a year, extended in the aggregate to scarcely two years. Meanwhil e, as opportunity offered, he read good and useful books, and especially t he Bible in which he became well versed.

With this preparatory training, under the divine blessing, he commenced h is theological studies(2) on the 21st of May, 1821, with Rev. Thomas Winte rs, at Germantown, O., and continued them about three years with commendab le zeal and success. During this time he also pursued (to a limited exten t) some historical and scientific studies. At the end of eighteen month s, because of a want of means, he was compelled to teach a common school f or three months, near Schleiffer's Church, five miles north of Germantow n. In the spring of 1823 his parents removed from Warren County to a fa rm in the vicinity of Schleiffer's Church. This proved a pecuniary advanta ge to him, as he could again board at home, and was thus enabled to ful ly resume his studies, reciting once a week to his preceptor, at Germantow n, until in May, 1824.

Having completed his allotted studies, and receiving a call from the Uni on charge, he traveled in June about 200 miles on horseback to New Philade lphia, O., to attend the annual meeting of the Ohio Classis, which was the re on the 14th of June, officially merged into the Ohio Synod of the Refor med Church; and on making application to the Synod he was examined, licens ed and ordained(3) on the 15th of June, 1824, in connection with David Win ters and Jacob Descombes. These were the first young men who received ordi nation by authority of the Ohio Synod.

Now, being clothed with the functions of the gospel ministry, and conscio us of the responsibility of the sacred office, he entered upon his pione er work with zeal and devotion, and soon became "abundant in labors." H is first field of labor was the Union charge within the present limi ts of Miami Classis, consisting of three congregations, namely, Frieden 's (now Mt. Pisgah at Lawrenceville) in Clark Co., Salem in Champaign Coun ty, and Stillwater in Montgomery County. In the winter of 1824-25 he organ ized a new congregation near Hyattsville, in Miami County, known as Worman 's, until in 1845 when it was called Emanuel's. These four congregations p roperly constituted the Union charge, though occasionally including o ne or two others for a few years, but his missionary operations extend ed to other points, which, in course of time, grew into congregations. Bet ween 1830 and 1834 he commenced preaching in Shelby County north of Sidne y, and has to travel forty miles every four weeks in going thither. In 18 35 he began to serve the New Providence congregation, continuing his pasto rate three years, and also had to travel forty miles every four weeks to m eet his appointments. He also preached at some other points, and his labo rs ultimately extended over five counties. Thus, in connection with his re gular charge, he operated a large mission field, and out of his char ge in the broader sense, and on the territory he originally traveled and s eeded, gradually grew the St. Paris, the Port Jefferson and the Salem char ges.

His pastorate in the Union charge continued from 1824 to 1847, a peri od of about twenty-three years, and during the period, being full of vig or and energy, he achieved the best results of his ministry, as his report ed statistics show, viz: Baptisms, 1,165; confirmations, 407; communion s, 4,357; and funerals, 266.

In 1826, during his pastorate in the Union charge, he was appointed as t he first missionary of the Ohio Synod, and during that and the three succe eding years, he made an exploring tour through southern Indiana, visiti ng different points, preaching the gospel to he destitute, administering t he ordinance of baptism and the Lord's Supper, and imparting instructio n, consolation and encouragement to the "scattered flock of Israel."

From 1847 to 1850 he was without a charge, but meanwhile acted as a Bib le colporter, canvassing four townships in Clark and Miami Counties, O., p reaching occasionally, and making several brief missionary tours to Indian a.

From 1850 to 1851 he served or supplied the Second Reformed Church of Tiff in(4) , the congregations at Caroline (Baseline) and McCutchenville, and t he Salem congregation, about four miles from Fremont.

From 1851 to 1853 he had no charge, but was part of the time engaged in Bi ble and missionary work.

In the spring of 1853 he accepted a call to the Basil charge, in Fairfie ld County, Ohio, but in consequence of impaired health resigned at the e nd of one year.

From 1854 o 1860 he was without a charge, being for several years mo re or less ill, but subsequently did some Bible and missionary work.

In 1860 he organized two congregations(5) in Randolph County, Indiana, a nd served them two years, or until in 1862. This was his last charge, b ut during the interim of twenty-one years (1862-83), he was not secluded n or inactive, nor did he lose interest in the church and spiritual thing s; but he generally, on Sabbath, united in the service of he sanctuary a nd Sunday-school, occasionally preaching and assisting at communions, regu larly at classis and not infrequently at synod.

The reminiscences and incidents of his early ministry, had they been mo re fully preserved on record, would now be read with thrilling interest, a nd lead to a better understanding of the privations, hardships, and inconv eniences he endured in his pioneer work. He had to encounter not only mora l, but also natural difficulties and obstacles in the form of bad roads, s wollen streams, inclement weather and threatening dangers. A few of the se are here noted:



1. On his first missionary tour in September, 1826, to Indiana, he pass ed along down the Ohio River to the Falls above Louisville, and having be en instructed to visit Brunnerstown, (now Jeffersonville), in Kentuck y, he was necessitated to cross the river just above the Falls in a fra il ferry boat, while the water was deep with a strong current. The underta king was regarded as a very perilous one, but under divine protection he s afely reached the opposite shore and engaged in his assigned work.



2. In the latter part of the month of May, 1828, he arranged to attend t he meeting of the Ohio Synod at Canton, Ohio, and on a certain day after d inner started on his way towards Springfield. When about four miles from h ome, he was overtaken by a terrific whirlwind, which caused devastation a nd destruction in its course, upsetting fences, unroofing buildings and bl owing down trees. Two large trees fell prostrate near him and some of t he branches passed over his head. To save himself from being carried aw ay or dashed against some object, he laid himself flat on the ground. H is horse got away, and his hat and buffalo robe became lost and never reco vered. As the whirlwind soon abated, he at once returned home, (where no w hirlwind had existed), and borrowed a hat of his brother-in-law, and aga in started on his journey, and met the other delegates at Springfield, nam ely Revs. Thomas Winters, David Winters and Henry Hiestand. They then purs ued their journey together. In a few days they were again confronted by da nger. In coming to the junction of White Woman and Tuscarawas Rivers, bo th having risen to he highest water mark, there was no way of crossing b ut on a common ferry boat, and the distance across was nearly half a mil e. There was a halt and a pause! But finally the four delegates, with tru st in God, ventured on the boat and safely landed on the "other shore," a nd pursuing their journey arrived at Canton on Sunday afternoon, June 1,18 28.



3. In his early ministry, in order to meet his appointments, he had freque ntly to cross the Miami River, at all stages of the water, about five mil es south of Troy, in Miami County, and at times not without danger. The pr ocess was in the wise: He would first strip his horse of saddle, blanket a nd saddle-bags, then lead him to the side of the canoe or skiff and ke ep a tight hold of the rein, while the ferryman would work the oars with g ood effect, and make a safe landing on the opposite shore.



During the first thirty years of his ministry he traveled at the rate of a bout 2,000 miles per year, mostly on horseback, besides about 15,000 mil es on railroads and otherwise, a total of 75,000 miles; and including h is travels in the remaining twenty-nine years, he traveled, perhaps, duri ng the whole period of his ministry between 90,000 and 100,000 miles. A nd the results of his ministry, as far as these can now be ascertain ed in the absence of a complete record, are as follows: Baptisms 1,212, co nfirmations 422, marriages 245, funerals 276, and organized nine congregat ions.

He preached his first sermon, while a student, in the German languag e, in February, 1822, in the Schleiffer church, five miles north of German town, from II. Peter ii. 9; and his last sermon in the English langua ge in the Reformed church at Tremont City, on Friday, April 6, 1883, on t he occasion of the funeral of Reuben Sagers, from Matt. xxiv 44: "Therefo re be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man co meth."

He was married, June 7, 1827, at the residence of the bride's parents to M iss Margaret Jones, by Rev. David Winters; and in this union they had ni ne children, three sons and six daughters, of whom one son and three daugh ters preceded the father to the "world beyond"-- leaving as mourners a dev oted wife, two sons, and three daughters, nineteen grand-children and sev en great grand-children, together with a large circle of friends. Soon aft er his marriage he secured a pleasant homestead, including ten acres of la nd, nearly two miles west of Tremont, Clark County, Ohio, and became perma nently settled there, continuing to live there during the succeeding yea rs of his long and eventful life, and having Tremont for his post-office ( now called Tremont City).

Father Pence inherited a vigorous constitution, and with little excepti on enjoyed continuously good health, manifesting even after having pass ed the goal of "four score years" much of the vigor and spring of youth. N or was he called at the last to endure a lengthened period of sickness a nd suffering. Twelve days previous to his final departure he preached a fu neral sermon, and he was in the enjoyment of his usual health up to Saturd ay, April 16th, at 9 o'clock a.m., when he was suddenly taken with a hea vy chill, assuming somewhat of a congestive nature with a slight tenden cy to pneumonia. He gradually grew weaker, without any pain or sufferin g, and on Wednesday morning, the 18th of April, 1883, at 7:30 o'cloc k, he calmly fell asleep in Jesus, aged 83 years, 4 months and 5 days.

The funeral occurred on Friday, April 20th. On a silver plate on the coff in lid, besides his name and date of death, was engraved this significa nt motto: "Rest in peace." His remains were conveyed from his late residen ce to the Mt. Pisgah Reformed Church at Lawrenceville (formerly Noblesvill e), a distance of about two and a half miles, where a large concourse of p eople assembled to manifest their respect for their aged pioneer father, a nd this sympathy with the bereaved family, as well as to unite in the sole mnities of the occasion. The sermon, founded on Psalm xc:10, 12, was preac hed by Rev. Isaac H. Reiter, D. D., who also read a sketch of the life a nd labors of the deceased. The other ministers present, and taking pa rt in the services, were Revs. Daniel R. Taylor and Solomon Ream, of the R eformed Church, and Rev. John A. White, of the Methodist Episcopal Churc h. After the services in the church, the remains of Father Pence were la id to rest in the adjoining graveyard by the side of his four children, wi th appropriate services conducted by Rev. Taylor, to await the awakening f iat of the resurrection unto life and glory! Near by is also the gra ve of Rev. John Peter Dechant, whose death was caused by injuries receiv ed from a falling tree, and whose remains were interred here in 1824.

Father Pence, whatever may have been his infirmities or failings, was a tr uly Christian man, sincerely and devoutly pious, living much in the spir it of prayer, and making the divine will his rule of action. His private l ife bore evidence of strict integrity and consistency, and his ministeri al career was marked by honesty and fidelity. Even if he erred in judgme nt or zeal, he was right in motive and honest in purpose. He often felt h is weakness, but sought his "sufficiency" in God. The chief aim of his Chr istian efforts was to promote the glory of God, and to secure the salvati on of souls. Properly considered he may be said to have achieved a good a nd enduring work in his day, ever accepting and teaching the Word of G od as inspired and true, and firmly believing the doctrine of divine provi dence and grace. He had a confiding trust in Jesus Christ as his Redeem er and Savior, and was always ready to give an answer in regard to the ho pe that was in him. For him to live was Christ, and to die was gain. He co ntinued steadfast in the faith and hope of the gospel unto the end. His mi nistry has ceased on earth, and he has gone to the blessed reward. "Re st in Peace"---------------- I. H. R.

[Obituary of Rev. John Pence from unknown source] The Rev. John Pence, the Ohio missionary, of whom we gave a short sket ch in a previous number of this paper, gently fell asleep in Christ on t he 18th of April last, in the 84th year of his age, and the 59th of his mi nistry. On his 71st birthday, thinking he might not live much longer, he p enned some verses of poetry with which he supplied his friends with a prin ted copy. We here give a portion of them.

But, oh ! One thought of love divine, Does all my follies far outshine, When I remember Jesus died, For me and all mankind beside. Not only died, but has prepared A heaven of glory to be shared With angels bright in realms above, Where all is joy, and all is love. There with you bright angelic throng, With hearts we'll sing the heavenly song, And there, with all the blood-washed host, Praise father, Son and Holy Ghost.

1. His parents in their later years lived with their son-in-law, Samuel Ol dfather, in the vicinity of Farmersville, Ohio, where they died only sev en weeks apart, and are buried in the cemetery at Farmersville. His fath er died December 31st, 1860, aged 85 years, 11 months and 23 days; and h is mother died February 18th, 1861, aged 86 years, 2 months and eight day s. Rev. I.H. Reuter preached the funeral sermons on both occasions.

2. Rev. Pence in a letter to the writer some years ago said: "On the ne xt day after my arrival at Germantown, as a theological student, some prel iminaries had to be attended to, and among others, such as getting a lar ge and heavy slab at Lewis Shuey's saw-mill, and after dressing the upp er side, and putting four plain legs in the lower side, it served as a wri ting desk for myself and David, the oldest son (of my preceptor), who n ow were yoked together as fellow students in a small room in the south-we st corner of Father T. Winter's parsonage, where we recited our German gra mmar and other branches of study." Here we have a glimpse of the mann er in which our pioneer fathers had to start as students, and yet with a ll their privations, disadvantages and discouragements, they by their indu stry and application made themselves useful in the service of the Lord. Wh at a contrast between the past and the present! How superior the opportuni ties and advantages of the present day! Are they properly appreciated a nd improved?

3. The Committee of Examination consisted of Revs. John Peter Mahneuschmid t. Henry Sonnedecker and Benjamin Faust. The Committee of Ordination consi sted of Revs. George Weisz, Henry Sonnedecker, and Thomas Winters, who pre ached the ordination sermon in the evening from I. Tim. iv:16.

4. It is said in Lang's history of Seneca County, Ohio, page 285, that t he Second Reformed Church of Tiffin, "was first organized by Rev. Frederi ck Wahl." But, in a letter written to the writer in 1869, Rev. Pence say s: "I organized the Second Reformed Church of Tiffin in April or May, 185 0; and I also organized the Reformed congregation at the Baseline (Carolin e) in the summer of 1850." In regard to the organization of the Second Ref ormed Church of Tiffin, who is right?

5.
