One day they got lost and his mother did not know where they got to do they look for him and found him laying with his head on the dog's body, but the dog kept watch over him....When father was a young man, first year that they were married, he was hauling stones to Lebanon and was unloading, the crow bar hit him in the side and that never got right so at my age of 16 years he got sick and could not work, then I had to run the work through. He could do the planning, and two years later father died, then 1 had the planning and the work till I got 21 years old, then we quit farming. Made sale and the family went apart - one here and the other there. I went to my Grandfather Ebersole."
After ADAM and ELIZABETH were married they lived and farmed on FRANTZ'S farm south of Annville. In 1878 ADAM inherited the farm from his father.
JAW,SR says of his mother, "One day mother and the hired girl went to the mountain for blackberries and mother was bitten from a rattle snake and got so poisoned that the doctors could not take it all out of her system so she was sickly for two years and then died very young." She died at the age of 30.
After her death ADAM married Pricilla Yeagley. She and ADAM had five children.
In ADAM'S Will (LebCCH - W-125) he leaves "to my oldest son, John A. Witmeyer the horse, Bugey and Harness he uses for driving & Riding. I give and bequeath to my oldest Daughter Annie Witmeyer her mother's Bed & Bedding Bureau and Table. I order and direct that my beloved wife Pricilla and my Children shall Continue to Farm my said Farm after my decease, in the same way and manner as if I was living among them yet, and keep the same in good repair and Condition and pay off the yearly interest on the money I Borrowed and owe also pay off yearly two hundred dollars to my Sister Catharine Light.
In case my said wife and Children could not make the money up in Farming said Farm to pay the yearly Interest and the sum of two hundred dollars to my said Sister Catharine Light or my Son John A. Witmyer(sic) should marry and would like to begin Housekeeping for himself, Then I order and direct my herinafter named Executors to sell my Stock and Personal Property on Public Sale.
