A FORWARD BY THE AUTHOR

I-DENTITY was written to satisfy the hunger each of us has

to know "who am I and where did I come from?" Perhaps the

background will give a sense of direction to the foreground.

The following is an explanation of the purpose of this work

and is by no means an apology for it.

A genealogy is simply an account of family ancestors and rel-

atives with their pedigrees. No doubt some will find it dull,

dry, boring-while others will think it exciting. In my

research, I have found references to different families' occupat-

ions, careers, and special projects which are included to add

interest. Hopefully each Longshore family will find this work

helpful whenever he would like to find out where Great, Great

Uncle Harry lived and what he did for a living, who his wife was

and how many kids did he have anyway, and why did he leave Ohio

(or wherever) in the first place! You will not find all the

answers but you may find some valuable clues. I have carefully

researched and tried to validate all statements. However, by the

very nature of the subject, some data has to be based on tradit-

ion, hearsay, and the reliability of someone's memory. Even the

census takers made mistakes in their recordings of names and

birthdates, partly because at times the respondents themselves

did not know how to spell their names, read, or write and oftentimes

the early census takers themselves were just one step ahead of the

illiterate. So please take any mistakes in stride and try to

understand how it could happen even among very conscientious

recorders; and make your own corrections and additions.

The genuine history student no doubt will thrill as he fits

his own ancestor into the proper time slot and location, and his

imagination can run riot as he pictures his courageous OWN-striving

for religious freedom, fighting the wars, clearing the

wilderness, fleeing the Indians, burying their children, strugg-

ling to stave off starvation and other privations. He can also

envision happy times such as barn dances, family and community

gatherings, games and contests, the plain simple family together-

ness in work and recreation. Americans have always played, sung

their songs, and danced, and most importantly - laughed!

Many thanks to each of you who has cooperated so beautifully

and contributed in any way. Special gratitude to my father-in-law,

Lester Longshore, who patiently racked his brain to answer my

persistent questions; Harold and Bessie Longshore who drove to

Ohio from Iowa last fall special to bring their data on the Truman

Longshore line, compiled in part by the late Homer Longshore and

Matilda Longshore Rule; Claire Longshore Raybuck who helped me

read tedious microfilm at the libraries; my husband, Russell, who

tolerated my meanderings in the cemeteries, and my absent-mindedness

while I was focusing on people, dates, and places of yesteryear;

but most of all to my daughter, Janet Nuckles Mallett, who gave

freely of her expertise and time to photocopy this story.

I have loved every minute of this experience, especially the

making of new friends. If in any way, my probings into family

matters has offended anyone, please forgive.

Respectfully Submitted,

Maxine [Mrs. Russell] Longshore

Organization and Numbering

I have endeavored to keep the numbering system simple for

easy, prompt reference. I will attempt to explain the method.

The generations will start with Pennsylvania emigrant,

David Longshore. Since this is a vertical genealogy; that is

each ancestor's descendants follow his introduction, the

Roman numerals will represent the generations and will be used

for each family grouping. A generation is considered to be

roughly a span of 30 years, but sometimes they overlap in the

larger families. David Longshore's children will be Generation

I, and each of his children will have a Capital letter in

order of birth, to set them apart from the later generations.

Following generations will have only the Roman numeral with

an Aramaic numeral to indicate the birth sequence among the

brothers and sisters. For example:


David Longshore, emigrant from Pa. in 1806

Issue: I IA John Longshore

IB Cyrus Longshore

IC Warner Longshore

ID Rachel Longshore

IE Sarah Longshore

IF Charles Longshore

IG David Longshore, Jr.

IH Daughter Longshore (?)


Cyrus IB = second child of David (the first)

Truman IIB4 = fourth child of Cyrus

Clem IIIB3 = third child of Truman

William Bryan IVB1 = first child of Clem

Leona Longshore Pratt VB2 = 2nd child of Wm. Bryan

Patti Ann Pratt VIB1 = 1st child of Leona Pratt


The index will tell which page each family group is on, so

the reader can turn immediately to the branch he is particu-

larly interested in at the moment, without having to thumb

through reams of irrelevant material.


It is suggested that corrections and additions be made on

the back of the corresponding sheets so as to keep the book

legible and neat. Extra sheets can be inserted or added at

the back.

Possible Pennsylvania Beginnings of Longshores

Robert Longshore

"Robert Longshore, gentleman"! With all that this word

connotes, WHY would Robert ever leave his established, secure,

comfortable home in England, to delve into an unknown, untamed

land? Perhaps his young blood raced at the thought of making

his mark in America, the land of opportunity! Maybe he was

simply an adventurous sort wishing to break the bonds of family

and tradition. Could be, Robert was seeking religious freedom such as the

Quaker, William Penn, had sought in America. Whatever

his reasons, the real truth of it will never be known. It is

known that many grossly exaggerated stories of America's wealth

and opportunities had floated back to England and enticed folk

there to migrate to the "land of the free". Consequently, thousands

of Europeans sailed to America shortly after Robert's arrival in

1681. Most likely Robert Longshore, a surveyor, had already been

commissioned as a deputy surveyor to Thomas Holme before he left

his homeland, which would have assured him a measure of security.

Robert Longshore did help Holme survey and plan the city of Philadelphia

for William Penn. This beautiful port city along the

Delaware River became known as the city of Brotherly Love, because

its proprieter ruled it and the colony with fairness and love,

allowing total freedom of worship. Penn endeavored to treat the

Indians fairly also and did not incur their hatred as leaders in

other colonies had done.


There were 45,333 square miles in this grant of wilderness

land which had been given to Penn at his request as settlement

of an $80,000 debt owed by King Charles II of England to William

Penn's father, Admiral Sir William Penn. William Penn wanted a

refuge for himself and his Quaker followers away from the com-

pulsory attendance to the church of England. Matter of fact,

since he had been jailed several times because of his rebellion

and religious fervor, he had become a nuisance to the Crown and

an embarrassment to his father; therefore they were relieved to

be rid of this rebel, William Penn. Robert Longshore, himself,

could have been a part of this Quaker movement!


At any rate, this city Robert had helped lay out soon became

a cultural center and prospered. It rivaled Boston and was the

capital of colonial Pa. Pennsylvania became a leader among the

other 12 colonies, namely; Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,

New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, New Hamp-

shire, The Carolinas, and Georgia and became known as the Key-

stone State because of its location. Pennsylvania and Maryland

were the only two proprietary colonies, which meant they were

owned by individuals.


Robert Longshore situated himself in the center of Phila-

delphia on the corner of Market and Front Streets. In due time,

this founding father of the American Longshores met and wed

Margaret Cock, a daughter of Pieter Larson Cock. Pieter had

been among the first Swedish immigrants coming to Pa. in 1641.

He was a collector of tolls, imports and exports, for the

colonies. He also served a magistrate for New Sweden and later

as a deputy governor.

I-DENTITY (p. 7)

[page 7]

[corresponds to page 6 of I-DENTITY]

Sometime after Robert and Margaret's union, he purchased

500 acres of land in Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pa. and

settled there. Robert and Margaret probably were born about

1660, give or take a few years. There is no record to show

how many children they presented to their new country but most

likely they did their duty. A son, Euclydus I, was born about

1690.


Not much is known of Euclydus I, except on Jan. 8, 1715,

he married Alice Stackhouse (b1699) when she was but 16. Alice

was a daughter of Thomas and Grace Heaton Stackhouse, one of

14 children. Alice's father was a descendant of Thomas Stack-

house, who arrived on the boat "Welcome"in 1682, and her mother,

a daughter of Robert and Alice Heaton of Middletown, Pa. It is

said that the 1st generation children of the Stackhouses inter-

married with the families of Clark, Stone, Wilson, Longshore,

Copeland, Gilbert, Watson, Plumley, Cary, Haring, Janney, Mitchell,

Stephenson, Tomlinson, and others and that their descendants are

almost legion --. Euclydus I and Alice lived in Middletown, Pa.,

where he died in 1764.


Issue of Euclydus I and Alice Stackhouse Longshore:

Robert 10/13/1716
Grace 2/24/1717 - 1726
Thomas 9/13/1721
Margaret 4/21/1724
Alice 7/ 4/1726
Grace (2) 6/18/1728
Euclydus 12/ 4/1730 - 1732
Mary 10/30/1732 - 1734
* Euclydus II 4/27/1735 - 6/14/1804


This descension shows the high death rate among children

at that time. Since only five of Euclydus I's children sur-

vived him, out of nine produced, sorrow was no stranger to

Euclydus and Alice. At this period in the country's history,

manpower was needed and so large families were desirable to help

with the work, usually on a farm where they could raise their

own food; and to offset the death toll. Because of frequent

childbirth, hard work, hardships, lack of medical attention,

women too fell prey to the grim reaper, and it was not uncommon

at all for a man to have two, three, four wives in his life-

time.


The family line is picked up through Euclydus II and it seems

he was the most prolific of the Longshores, fathering 22 children,

11 by each wife. No one could accuse him of showing favoritism!

It is to be noted that only twelve of Euclydus II's 22

children survived him, attesting again to the high infant mor-

tality rate. As late as 1900 and beyond, the infant mortality

rate was 50%. Since most people in the 18th and 19th centuries

had to make the caskets used by their family members, a supply

in different sizes was generally kept made up ahead. Many infants

succumbed to a disease called cholera infantum; typhoid, malaria,

& tuberculosis also claimed many lives. Not only did individual

families supply their own coffins, they likewise dug the graves;

so tragedy made a double impact on them in the early days.

According to Thomas Ellwood Longshore, from whom most of

the previous data has come and who supplied many records up

to 1890, the following is from his compilation regarding

Euclydus II's family:

This author wishes to digress at this point from the direct

line to follow a sideline. Euclydus Longshore II's son, Abraham's

family, had some active, interesting, and distinguished members

whose contributions to society will give some insight to the par-

ticular line this compiler is pursuing.


"Memoranda and Notes of the Longshore Family, Pioneers of

Which Settled in Bucks Co., Pa." is also written by the same

descendant, Thomas E. Longshore, son ofAbraham Longshore, and

was compiled from tradition and the records he had found. Some

of his data used in this narration heretofore has been paraphased

but this item is verbatim. It will be of interest to the family

today because it shows how Thomas E.'s grandfather's and father's

families weathered the hard time of the late 1700s and early

1800s when this new country was suffering growing pains follow-

ing its independence. Suffice it to say that these gentlemen did

not serve in the Revolutionary War probably because they had

such large families to support. Many of their descendants served

in later wars, proving their patriotism.


"Euclydus Longshore, our grandfather, from the impression

I have received from different members of the family, was rather

an easy, good-natured man with a kind of dry humor. He was of a

light, sandy complexion with light brown hair. At the time,

Father, (Abraham) was born (11/6/1785), I believe the family was

living in a stone, one story house, north of John Watson's farm,

in Middletown, Bucks Co.,Pa., on the south side of the

road. Grandfather was not much of a farmer but things

drifted anyhow. The children went to work as soon as old

enough. Father went to James Wildman's to live at age 12,

as a "taken" boy * He did not get along satisfactorily

with old Adam Adams, their colored hired man, and refused

to thresh in the barn with him because of being so abused.

Father kept a daily diary as proof of his grievances so he

could be freed from his indenture*. Euclydus, my grand-

father, died when Father (Abraham) was 19. Father borrowed

$1000. to purchase a farm and it was all he could do to pay

interest. We all had to do what we could to save money by

living poor and dressing in homespun clothing, eating mush,

rye bread without butter or molasses, and potatoes, no tea

or coffee, or sugar, or even lard, rye pie shortened with

smoked pot-skimmings and dried apples so sour we made the

less of it answer. Father had gone to school 3 months and

learned to read, write, and cipher. He had a good memory

and could sing 100 songs. He loved to read, mostly the

Bible". (Abraham's father, Euclydus II, died in 1804)

*"Apprenticeship in early days was serious business.

Articles of indenture were drawn up with all the care of a

conveyance of real estate and corresponding obligations of

master and apprentice were specifically set forth." (Taken

from

I-DENTITY (p. 13)

[page 13]

[corresponds to page 12 of I-DENTITY]

an early history book). Many time the master was a tyrant

dictating every breath his servant took, including his morals

and use of his leisure time (what little there was). *Abraham

was able by virtue of his diary to obtain a hearing and get

out of his obligation to James Wildman. However, in some in-

stances, apprenticeship served a good purpose when the "indenturee"

was able to learn a trade as well as earn room and board. There

were no public schools to teach a trade and most of the common

people could not read or write so how else were they to learn!

Too often though the masters abused and exploited the trainees.

Excerpt from HISTORY OF BUCKS CO., PA. by Davis - published 1905


Another son of Abraham Longshore

"Among the prominent sons of Middletown, who live in history,

Joseph S. Longshore, b 1809 d 1879, is entitled to a niche. He

lost partial use of one leg when a boy and was lamed for life.

Turning his attention to the medical profession, he graduated in

medicine from the University of Pa. at age 24 and practiced

several years at Attleborough (later named Langhorne). In 1850,

he established a medical College in Philadelphia for women, the

first of its kind in the world. He was also an ardent advocate

of total abstinence and an active abolitionist, at a period when

it required no little courage to declare oneself."


Another historical excerpt, this time from EARLY FRIENDS,

FAMILIES OF UPPER BUCKS" by Roberts about a daughter-in-law of

Abraham Longshore.


"Hannah Myers, daughter of Samuel and Pauline (Iden) Meyers,

born in Sandy Springs, Md., 5/30/1819 d 10/18/1901.

Graduated from Women's Medical College in Philadelphia, 1851.

She was a pioneer woman physician, accumulated a modest

forturn. Hannah married Thomas Ellwood Longshore 3/26/1841.

He was a son of Abraham and Rhoda (Skelton) Longshore. He

was born 11/11/1812 on a farm in Middletown Township, Bucks

Co., Pa., died 8/19/1898 in Phil.; he and his wife having

moved to that city in 1850. Children: Channing b 11/24/1842

Again to deviate from the direct line, here is a presentation

from another of Robert's descendants


GENERAL AND FAMILY HISTORY OF THE WYOMING & LACKAWANNA VALLEYS, PA.
Volume I (published 1906)


"Longshore Family, long residents in Pa. Founder of

family in Pa. was Robert Longshore, who came from

England and settled at Front and Market Sts. in Phila-

delphia; later moved to Bucks Co."


The name of the person who sent in this biography to the previously

mentioned book is not mentioned so there is no way to know which

of Isaish Longshore's grandchildren wrote it -


"Isaiah Longshore, grandfather, lived at Beach Haven,

where he kept a hotel and boarding house, died at age 47

and buried there. Ch: A.B. b 1812 and Alfred R.

Alfred was a justice of the peace, had 3 dau., d age 82 Y.

A.B. Longshore, M.D. reared at Shickshinny, studied medi-

cine with his uncle, A.B. Wildon, graduated from Jeffer-

son Medical College in Philadelphia in 1843 with honors.

Spoke both English and fluent German, d in 1875, age 63.

Practiced medicine in mountain region in Wyoming County.

Practice so extensive he called five of his students to

assist him in this vast area. 8 ch. - Dr. Wm. R. Longshore

"Dr. Wm. R. Longshore, M.D., son of Ashbel B. and

Maria J. (Righter) Longshore b 9/10/1838 in Beaver

Meadows, Pa. Studied medicine at Jefferson Medical

College and Pa. College of Medicine from which he

graduated March, 1860. Worked as assistant in male

department of Pa. Hospital for Insane under Dr.

and rank of major. A Mason. 1 child, Harry Carter

Longshore, d at 14; adopted a dau., Jane Martin, md

to Wallace Ellerslie Engle and she has a son,

William Longshore Engle, who resides in Hazelton."


These historic and biographic passages are used for one

purpose - to show that some of the early Longshores were human-

itarians; vitally interested in their country, in the healing

arts, women's rights, foreign aid, and political reform. They

were great contributors to their fellow man, be it on a local,

state, or national scale; always ready to serve.

[corresponds to back of page 15 of I-DENTITY, a letter to Mrs. Maxine Longshore]


7224 E.17th St. N.

Wichita, KS 67206

August 11, 1991


Dear Mrs. Longshore:

join the DAR and wrote to two of her father's cousins, one a Davidson

and one a Longshore. She didn't get to join but the letters she re-

ceived were very helpful when I started my research. Incidentally,

the Longshore cousin she wrote to was James C. who was loving at 1201

Hamlet St. in Columbus at the time. I don't know what year he died

but he was elderly at the time-79-and only he and his sister Sarah

were still alive.

The reason that you don't find a complete list of the children

of Euclydus and Susannah Van Horn is that they were married out of

meeting. All of the children of that first marriage had names beginning

with A. When Euclydus returned to the Quakers he took what children he

could back with him and his son Abner was one of the witnesses at his

marriage to Sarah Gillam. I was told recently by one of my earlier

correspondents that another lady had told him that the David Longshore

who married Elizaneth Warner was the son of Cyrus Longshore, who was

marred to Mary David and waws the son of Thomas Longshore and Joanna

Vance.

Thomas Longshore was the son of euclydus Longshore and Alice

Stackhouse and was born the 13th day of the 9th month 1721. He was

married to Johanna Vance on the 10th day of the 4th month 1742 at the

Middletown Monthly Meeting (LDS film 20403, pp.308-9). Thomas' will

is file # 1162, Bucks Co., PA. It is dated 11 Jan 1777 and proved 13

Feb 1777. Johanna died between the writing of her will dated 22 d 4m

1792 and the probate date of 14 June 1794 and is file # 2535 Bucks. Co.

Her parents are as yet unknown but she has a sister, Jane McLear.

the first child of Thomas and Johanna was born less than nine months

after their marriage and Thomas became angry with the reprimand of

the Quakers. In his will, thomas mentions his wife Johanna, his sons

Thomas, cyrus, and euclydus and his daughters, elizabeth Hunter and

Margaret Wiley. I found deeds dated 14 Apr 1784, filed 27 Sept 1785,

of Cyrus and wife mary and euclydus and wife Jane. They mention that

the land came from their father, Thomas. Johanna in her will mentions

her sister, Jane McLear, her son Euclydus, her daughters, Elizabeth

Hunter (wife of Andrew) and her daughter Margaret Wiley, her grandson

Amos (the son of thomas who later married Ann cox) and her granddaughter

Jane (the daughter of Cyrus who later married Aaron Cox). These are

known facts and I have written to the lady in Iowa to find out the

facts on which she bases her conclusions. The death date given for

David Longshore is 3 Nov 1859. The 1800 Tax list for Middletown Twp.,

Bucks Co. shows him as a single man. 20 Jan 1802 david Longshore

of Middletown m. Elizabeth Weber/Warner, Isaac Hicks, J.P. then 1810

Tax list in delaware Co., 67A., Range 17, Twp 4, Section 1 and the same in

1814. I will let you know when I hear on what the lady has based her

conclusions.

Can you suggest any of the other descendants of the branch of

David Longshore-Elizabeth Warner to whom I could write to bring other

lines down to the present? Is it possible to secure copies of wills,

obits, and the other pertinant data? I would pay copying costs if

that would help.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth

To get back on the track -


The Ohio progenitor of the Longshores is David Longshore.

There is data to prove he came to Ohio in 1806; to Del. Co. with

his brother, Euclydus (III), in 1808; purchased land in Delaware

County in 1811. Many clues link David to the line of Robert,

Euclydus I, Euclydus II; but actually there is no record found,

as of this date, to prove a David Longshore, born Jan. 1779,

was born to this line or any other line! This author is still

researching on this puzzle and if additional information is ever

unearthed, it will be attached at the end of the story. It is

the considered opinion of this compiler that the "missing link"

can be theorized as follows: Perhaps[underlined] David was the youngest

child of Euclydus ** and ____Cox Longshore and possibly his

mother died at his birth or shortly thereafter. In the con-

fusion, his birth was never recorded. This thought is based

on his birthdate of Jan. 25, 1779; the fact Euclydus II remarried

on May 1780; and his first child by the second wife, Euclydus III,

was born in 1781. Since all of the children by Euclydus II's first

wife had names beginning with an "A", it could be that David did

not like his "A____" name, whatever it was, and decided to use his

other given name and change his image when he came to Ohio. At

any rate, there is no hint of the "A" in any of his legal papers.

The following excerpts are from biographies submitted by

one of David's children (Charles) and one of his daughter-in-laws

(Margaret) will bear out the fact David did come from Pa. in

1806 and settled in Delaware County, Ohio in 1808.

From Baskins 1880 HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY


"Charles Longshore, farmer: P.O. Condit; is a son of

David and Elizabeth (Warner) Longshore; his father

was born in Pa. and came to Ohio in 1806, settling in

Berkshire Township, west of Sunbury, on the farm now

owned by Mrs. Grist, where he lived until his death;

it was then a dense forest, there being but one house

between Delaware and Johnstown, and that where George

Gibson now resides; the only neighbor for some time was

a brother; their first nights were spent in the woods

around a fire, with a friendly Indian as company."


"Margaret Longshore, P.O. Condit; was born July 2, 1804,

a daughter of Christian and Sallie (Linderman) Young;

her father settled in Ohio about 1816, and farmed near

Galena until his death in 1838. She was married June

22, 1826, to Cyrus Longshore, by whom she has had six

children, four are now living; her husband was born

Nov. 24, 1804, in Muskingum Co., *Ohio, and came with

his parents to Delaware Co. about 1808, settling west

of Sunbury on a farm now owned by the Landon Brothers,

and in 1836 on the farm owned by Mrs. (Margaret) Long-

shore; he died May 3, 1870."

I-DENTITY (p. 19)

[page 19]

[corresponds to page 17 of I-DENTITY]

* There is a discrepancy about the place of Cyrus' birth;

the 1850 and 1860 Delaware County Census, also his death record,

state that he was born in Pa. It is possible David stopped in

Muskingum County in 1806 where other relatives lived, on his way

to central Ohio. This biography states he came to Delaware

County in 1808, which is entirely plausible. Somewhere else

there is a reference to David's having lived in Sunbury Township

before purchasing his farm in 1811 in Berkshire Township.

David Longshore was born three years after the birth of

the United States of America, and ten years before George

Washington became president in 1789. He arrived in Ohio during

the term of Thomas Jefferson, and in Delaware County in time to
['Del. Co. in 1808' handwritten in margin]

see Delaware City laid out in 1811, Columbus in 1812,

and Sunbury in 1816 and just four years before the War of 1812. At that time

Ohio was considered the Crossroads of the Nation. A big busines

boom existed immediately following that war. The schedule of

prices shown here will show the prosperity that lasted until 1819

when prices slid back to pre-war levels.


Pre-war Prices Prices 1812 - 1819

hogs - $1.50 per 100# hogs - $4.00 per 100#

oats - .50 per bu. oats - 1.00 per bu.

corn - .50 per bu. corn - 1.00 per bu.

flour - 1.00 per 100# flour - 4.00 per 100#

hay - 10.00 per ton hay - 20.00 per ton


Some prices nose-dived to below pre-war values, such as;

corn sold for 10-12 cents per bu.; potatoes - 12 cents bu., etc.

Rigid economy was practiced by all grades of society - even the

wealthy drank rye coffee and distinguished men dressed in blue

linsey pantaloons for a time. In 1820 in Columbus, Ohio, over

one hundred parcels of real estate were advertised in one ad-

vertisement of sheriff's sales! Gradually though the nation

recuperated from the recession. One blessing for the white

man was that he never again was bothered by the red man in

these parts after 1812. David and Euclydus (III) purchased

their 134 acres in Range 17, Twp. 4, Lot 4, from

Thomas Brown for $268.67 1/2. The 1812 Tax record values it at 67 1/2 cents

an acre! In 1816, it seems they sold half of this same land -

67 7/16 acres - for $400., tripling their money. Perhaps this

is a further example of the inflation of that period. Later

however, in 1819, a quit claim deed is recorded whereby Euclydus

(III) and Sarah, of Muskingum County, transferred the east half of

134 7/8 acres for the sum of $202. to David Longshore. Reference

to David, in Charles' biography, states that David lived on the

land he settled until his death in 1858. At the time this farm

was purchased in 1811, there were only 2000 people in the entire

county! By 1850, there were 1557 persons in Berkshire Township

but this dropped to 1392 in 1860. Nevertheless, it was not over-

populated at that time.

Following is a copy of the original land purchase by

David and Euclydus and their wives. (Euclydus is spelled 2

different ways in this same deed) -

From the description in this deed and comparison with a

map of this area in 1811 and 1860, it is pretty well determined

that David's farm lay west of Sunbury, beginning at the corner

of St.Rt. 37 and Twp. Rt. 72, running along the southside of County

Rt 72 as far as the Henry Beaver farm. At the corner of RT. 37,

in more recent years, this area was known as the Burt Cornell

farm, and the old brick house about 1/8 mile west of Rt. 37 on Co. Rt.

72 was the homestead. Remnants of this house still lay there

up until about 10 years ago, when a new ranch-style house was

built by that grove of trees, and some of that farmland was

portioned into building lots. Jon-Jon's Restaurant is on the

corner now of Rts. 37 & Twp. Rt. 72. David's son, John, owned

land in this same territory which partially adjoined his father's

and that land is now owned by the V.M. Green heirs. Before it

came into the Green ownership, the land in the general area was

owned by Griste and Landon families. The original land purchase

passed from Longshore hands before 1860, probably at the time of

David's decease in 1858. Coincidentally, before he had any know-

ledge of where his ancestors had first settled, a descendant of

David's, Russell Longshore, purchased an acreage across the road

from the original plot and built a house on it 17 years ago (1959)!

At the turn of the 19th century, the land where David took

up abode could scarecely be seen for the trees; now the land can

scarcely be seen for the houses, shopping center, and commercial

buildings: Super highways have replaced the scenic byways and

the accelerated pulse of modern civilization - even in this rural

area - has supplanted the leisurely heart throb of nature and its

wonders. But then, that's progress! Everyone enjoys the modern

conveniences but they want the slower pace, and somehow oil and

water just don't mix.

"Despite technological advances, inventions, and explor-

ations that would have seemed miraculous to our grandparents;

indeed, that even seem miraculous to us, people are still people.

Go back in time - or forward - ten years, a hundred, or a thousand -

you'll find people loving, hating, desiring, and fearing the same

things as thoday. You'll find people valuing the same things -

success, status, comfort, friendship, love." An excerpt from

THE MASTERY OF PEOPLE by Auren Uris.

In this bicentennial year, it is popular to look back to

"the good ole days" and see only the good part; especially when

the TV announcer comes on with his "and this is the way it was,

200 years ago" accompanied by a fife and drum playing their

version of "Yankee Doodle". A little tingle goes up the spine

and one feels a yearning for the peace (?) of bygone days. It

is easy then to forget the hardships the pioneers faced each day.

It is doubtful if anyone of this generation could accurately define

a pioneer hardship because no one nowadays has experienced it; so

"starvation", "privation", "Indian massacre" are just words in today's

vocabulary. But then, possibly, the pioneer could not define the

words of this day, such as: "mugging", "freak-outs", "spaced out",

"murder contracts", et cetera.

And so it has been established that David and Elizabeth

(Warner) Longshore emigrated to Ohio in 1806, and came to Del-

aware County by 1808, lived in Sunbury (had to be township),

and then settled on the farm west of town by 1811. Soon three

more boys and three girls were added to the score making a total

of eight.

To give a clear idea of Cyrus and Margaret's life, her biography

is repeated here, although it was used earlier.

"Margaret Longshore, P.O.Condit; was born July 2, 1804,

a dau. of Christian and Sallie (Linderman) Young; her

father settled in Ohio about 1816, and farmed near Galena

until his death in 1838. She was married June 22, 1826,

to Cyrus Longshore, by whom she has had six children,

four are now living; her husband was born Nov. 24, 1804,

in Muskingum Co., Ohio, and came with his parents to

Delaware Co. about 1808, settling west of Sunbury on a

farm owned by Mrs. (Margaret) Longshore; he died May 3, 1870"

Cyrus farmed east of Sunbury, between Condit and Vans Valley,

on what is now State Route 605, on a farm now known as the

Ted Gray farm. In the 1860

I-DENTITY (p. 26)

[page 26]

[corresponds to page 24 of I-DENTITY]

Census, his worth was listed as

$5775 Real Estate value and $1000 personal property, which

compared to other listings was quite prosperous for farmers

in the area. Tradition has it that an old Indian used to stop

to visit Cyrus and to trade items for whiskey. The tavern

was just about a half mile away where the Zieschang house is.

The Indian told that there was a silver mine in that are

but none was ever found.

Longshore family, also the following pictures of Minor

Glen's father, Irven Longshore, remembers his grandfather,

Charles' wooden leg and the fact his father, Minor Wm.

(Tine) played at Murphys's Hill near Sunbury, Ohio, as

a boy. (The Murphys and Trenton Twp. Longshores lived

on farms in the same community. It was always said the

two families emigrated to Ohio about the same time.


Although one of Charles' children was born in Ill. in

1858, and possibly the family lived there at that time,

the family was listed in the Ohio 1860 census with

Charles as a farmer worth $7200 real estate and $1000

personal worth; this rated as very prosperous at that

time in the Delaware County farming community. His

father's worth at that time was

Union Church (Bethel, in Licking Co.), of which he was

an Elder and Superintendent of Sunday Schools. The

biography also states he once carried mail from Johns-

town to Newark daily for one year, worked as a carpen-

ter for years, but mostly he farmed. Angeline was

born in Ohio just one year after her parents, Almerian

and Elizabeth (Jewett) Bourn who were born in Mass.,

came to Ohio in 1839. "After marriage, I.N. and Angeline

settled on the old homestead where their resident still

is (in 1880). (This is where the Harvey McElroy farm

now is on Ross Rd., Trenton Twp.) In May of 1880, I.N.

sold his farm for $1000. cash and soon after bought one

of 47 acres at $60.00 an acre from A. C. Bowers; he

also worked 83 acres of his mother's (Cyrus' and Margaret's)

farm." In late years he retired to a house and lot in

Condit across from the schoolhouse and cemetery. His

son, Seth, then took over the farming.

Carlyle once said that "History is the essense of innumerable

biographies". An appropriate follow-up might be a statement

by Longfellow in which he said, "We judge ourselves by what

we feel capable of doing, while we judge others by what they

have done." Oft times later generations can be inspired by the

achievements of those gone on before or be put on guard by their

failures. We cannot rest on the laurels of our ancestors; neither

are we held to account for their deeds; we can rise above or sink

below their character, but the fact remains we are a composite

of our ancestors and that is why Susie may "take after" Aunt Mary

or Johnny after Uncle Joe or Granddad. Strange how the genes

work

_______________________________________________________________________________


After the death of Truman's 2nd wife, Lucretia, in 1881, Truman brought

his motherless children back to Ohio and he never went out west again. The

children were taken in by various family members until old enough to go on their

own. Since Harriet (Longshore) and her husband, George Ginn, only had one child,

Elmine, at home they took 14 year old Milo into their home. One day when Milo

was near 18 years of age, he went downtown to get a loaf of bread for his aunt.

Two years later he returned and tossed a loaf of bread on the table, saying,

"Here's your loaf of bread!"

The 2nd time he left he kept in contact with them. The Ginns also had been

in Iowas for three years but George become so homesick they came back to Ohio.

This was prior to Truman's tragedy.



When Clem Longshore, along with his parents, Truman and Lucretia and their

family were traveling out west from Ohio, they used a flat bed wagon. They

had a team of horses, two cows, one sow, and a dog. On the wagon was a bed,

dresser, and two stoves. The womenfolk rode on the wagon and drove the team

while the father and sons walked. When they came to a cabin, it was customary

for that family to provide accommodations for the travelers. They fed the

family and livestock. The men of the house went outside and slept under the

wagon with the traveling men while the women all slept inside the house.


When the Longshores arrived at their destination, they turned the horses

out to pasture. The horses ran off toward home with the dog. The dog made it

on home but the horses stopped at the "big river". Later the horses were found

beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route) which evidently they

were reluctant to cross. A postcard informed the

Longshores of the horses' whereabouts. Truman took a train to retrieve the

horses.

YOUR NAME

You got it from your father,

It was all he had to give,

So it's yours to use and cherish

For as long as you may live.


If you abuse the watch he gave you,

It can always be replaced,

But a black mark on your name,

Can never be erased.


It was clean the day he gave it

And a worthy name to bear,

When you got it from your father

There was no dishonor there.


So make sure you guard it wisely, for

After all is said and done,

You'll be glad the name is spotless

When you give it to your son.

Truman Longshore

Fourth Son of Cyrus Longshore II B4

The Truman Longshore line is being recorded out of sequence of Cyrus'

sons because his family seemed to be more prolific, plus the fact he and most

of his Ohio ancestors and their descendants remained or still live in the

particular area where this compiler lives. Therefore, information is more

accessible as well as personal knowledge and contact with the subjects and

availability of resource material gives more insight to this line. Every effort has

been made to research the other lines and all submitted material has been

appreciated and used. Consequently an abundance of data follows: possibly Job

14:1-9 expresses what he may have felt at times: "Man is born of woman, is of

few days, and full of trouble."

Truman was one of the four, out of six, sons who survived his father,

Cyrus; Jonathan and Minor having died before 1870. He and his mother,

Margaret were executors of Cyrus' will. Truman was sort of a jack-of-all-trades,

having farmed a great amount, he was a competent teamster, operated a

sawmill and tile mill, et cetera. He must have been somewhat of an adventurer

considering that he got around considerably for that day of poor traveling

facilities. The railroad came to Delaware in 1851 and it was called the "Big Four"

since it ran through Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, and

Truman could have used its accommodations some of the time. At any rate, get

around he did, whether by horseback, carriage, stagecoach, covered wagon, or

by rail. To travel by any of these methods required super desire, courage, a

strong constitution, and perseverance! Truman may have been enticed to

pursue greener pastures by the lectures of Horace Greeley who was a journalist

and politician who went around over the country lecturing with the clarion call

"Go west, young man!" hinting of riches and acclaim that lay just beyond for

the going and claiming. It is known that some of Truman's Longshore cousins

also answered this call and went West; perhaps forming a wagon train.

Rumblings from some of the wives' grumblings are still being heard of, such as;

"Haint no sense to it at all!" The women were content with their lot in life right

where they were. The gold rush of 1849 (although Truman at 14 was too young

to embark at that time) may have had some appeal although there is no record

of any Longshore having found gold! Some of the Longshores must have found

something they liked in Illinois and Iowa because some went and stayed. Most

of them eventually came back to Ohio and their roots here.

It is known that Truman found his first wife, Larusia Bouier, in Peoria,

Illinois in 1859. Most likely he lived out there farming before and in the early

part of his marriage. His son, Clem, many times told the story of his father's

second move out to Illinois. They went by covered wagon. In the late fall, they

turned the horses out to open pasture as was the custom there. The horses and

dog must have been homesick because they ran off toward Ohio. Later the

horses were found beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route)

which evidently they were reluctant to cross. The dog left them (as compared to

Ohio's at that time) and said that one time he harrowed corn all day and didn't

get over the field.

I-DENTITY (p. 36)

[page 36]

[corresponds to page 35 of I-DENTITY]

It is thought that the first three of Truman's children

were born in Ohio and the other five in Illinois. It is re-

corded that Will was born in Ohio and that Clem was born in

a log house on his grandfather Cyrus' farm - possibly the tenant

house, in 1865. Truman was back in Ohio at that time and also

in 1870 at the time of his father's death. Larusia had died

the year before at age 35. She is buried at Condit, Ohio. In

1871, Truman married Lucretia [underlined] Peters. A copy of her father's

biography follows: Also taken from Baskins 1880 Delaware County

History --

Daniel H. Peters, farmer and stockraiser; P.O. Green,

Licking County, Ohio is a son of William and Sarah

(Bashford) Peters; his father was of English descent,

and born in Maryland; his mother of Irish descent;

her father was from Cork, Ireland. Mr. Peters's father

emigrated to Ohio about 1816, and his grandfather came

to America in 1808, and served awhile in the War of

1812. Mr. Peters was born Jun 26, 1820, in Pickaway

County, Ohio and came to Licking Co., in April, 1822.

Nov. 27, 1842, he was married to Miss R. Iles; she

was born in Licking Co.; they had nine children -

Sarah J., Lucretia, James W. Effie, Oliver, Emma,

William P., Melissa, and Martha. His wife died Oct. 6,

1863; she was a member of the M.E. Church. Daniel

was again married, in 1864, to Mary A., daughter of

Edward and Mary Lake, by whom he had six children;

five living - Rose D., Frank J., Milton H., Mark M.,

William S. and John M who died Nov. 21, 1869. He

(Daniel) lived, after marriage in Licking Co. four

years and then rented his present farm of 124 acres,

which he bought two years afterward. About 1859,

he learned the carpenter's trade, and has thus been

enabled to make his own farm improvements; in 1864, he

commenced dealing in Spanish merino sheep, which he

supplies to those wanting at fair prices; he has

filled his share of the township offices, and is now

a member of the Christian Union Church, as are also

five members of his family. He has served as Supt. of

Sunday School for 25 yrs, and many years as Elder.

This church now has membershp of 100. He is a

member of Sparrow Lodge, No. 400, A.F.& M.


According to a granddaughter, Daniel Peters score of children

reached 17!

Nov. 10, 1900 b d in Wapello Cemetery, Iowa


After 1871, Truman and Lucretia moved to Ill. with his

family of three sons: William, Edson B., and Clem. Soon Dean,

Mae, Newton, Milo, and Nellie joined the throng. But again

tragedy struck when Lucretia died in 1881 at age 36. A broken

man returend to Ohio with a ['covered' crossed out] wagon load of motherless

children. Will, the eldest at 21, returned to the West and was

married that fall. It is thought that he kept 2 year old Nellie

and Newt, age 7. It is not known what 19 yr old Edson did but

Clem at age 16 was old enough to do a man's work so he lived

with his father's uncle, Warner and Cordelia and daughter, Mary,

on the farm. Cordelia passed away in 1882 so then the spinster

daughter, Mary, kept house for her father and Clem. Warner's

daughter,

[corresponds to page 36 of I-DENTITY]

Harriett and her husband George Ginn, having only one (at home)

child, Elmine aged 9, took five year old Milo to raise. Mae,

who was eight went to live with a sister of Lucretia's in Mich.

It is not known where Dean, aged 9, stayed, but when he turned 18

he went to Iowa where he settled. So, compassionate relatives

"took in" the children and it was such a commendable thing to do.

Everyone did the best they could but still the family circle was

broken. However the family, though scattered hither and yon,

remained close in spirit and all kept in touch, visiting each as

often as possible. Most of them eventually settled in Central

Ohio. Truman did not set up housekeeping again until Mae was

old enough to keep house for him. He then purchased a place

in Olive Green in 1886. At that time a Doc Foster and Truman

became business partners in a tile mill. All went well until

Doc decided to shoot himself dead in a tile kiln. Just one more

upheaval in Truman's life. He lived to age 78 and died in 1913.

All of his children lived long lives except Nellie, who died

at 35. The others averaged out to over 78; Clem lived to be

the oldest-passing on at age 90 in 1955.

Reading of the trauma that went on in these families' lives

reminds one of Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem:

Rock Me to Sleep

Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight,

Make me a child again, just for tonight!

Mother, come back from the echoless shore,

Take me again to your heart as of yore;

Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,

Smooth a few silver threads out of my hair;

Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;--

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!


I am so weary of toil and of tears;

Toil without recompense,

Tears all in vain;

Take them, and give me my childhood again!

I have grown weary of dust and decay, -

Weary of flinging my soul wealth away;

Weary of sowing for others to reap; -

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!

Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem, "Rock Me to Sleep"

3rd verse


Tired of the follow, the base, the untrue,

Mother, O Mother, my heart calls for you!

Many a summer the grass has grown green,

Blossomed and faded, our faces between;

Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,

Long I tonight for your presence again.

Come from the silence so long and so deep; -

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!


Over my heart in the days that are flown,

No love like mother love ever has shown;

No other worship abides and endures,

Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours;

None like a mother can charm away pain

From the sick soul, and the world-weary brain,

I-DENTITY (p. 38)

[page 38]

[corresponds to page 37 of I-DENTITY]

Slumber's soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep; -

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!


Come let your brown hair, just lighted with gold;

Fall on your shoulders again, as of old;

Let it drop over my forehead tonight,

Shading my faint eyes away from the light;

For with its sunny edged shadows once more,

Happily will throng the sweet visions of yore;

Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep; -

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!


Mother, dear Mother, the years have been long

Since I last listened your lullaby song;

Sing, then unto my soul it shall seem

Womanhood's years have been only a dream;

Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace,

With your light lashes just sweeping my face,

Never hereafter to wake or to weep; -

Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!


This poem was found in McGuffey's Fifth Reader Revised. It

is familiar to the scholars of that era. Many committed it

to memory.


The data on the Truman Longshore line was supplied mostly by

Harold Longshore, son of Homer, and his mother, Bessie, who

live in Wapello, Iowa. They have come to the Longshore reunions

throughout the years whenever possible and every year recently.

They have contributed greatly to the over-all effort to "keep

in touch".

_________________________________________________________________


The Longshore train comes back to its Ohio source for a time and visits

with the third son of Truman's, Clem Longshore. Depot - Sunbury, Ohio and

nearby areas.

Clem's three sons all live rural route Sunbury and their children have

about all settled nearby. Clem Longshore was born in Ohio; at age 16, he came

back from Illinois with his family as the result of his stepmother, Lucretia's

death. He lived with his Uncle Warner's family in Trenton twp., Delaware

County and worked on the farm there. Later he purchased the farm and

remained there the rest of his 90 years. The farm is now owned and operated

by his son, Lester, who have lived on it all of his 76 years.

Clem was a slightly built man, rather short in stature. Always in good

humor. He was a devoted husband caring tenderly for his wife Ella, during her invalidism

several years,before her death. He was a widower for 24 years. He

enjoyed traveling. His daughter-in-laws were as fond of him as his sons as he

treated them with respect. His grandchildren adored him. On his 77th birthday

he ice skated on the creek (in February) on his farm (this creek was and still is

the recreational spot for the whole family).

His grandchildren loved to fish but did not want to clean the small fish

so they would give them to Grandpa and he would clean them and fry them

crisp and crunch them, bones and all! Although he visited each of his sons

every day, he never caused any trouble because he never interfered in their

business or took sides in any disagreements. Everyone loved to see him come.

When his Great grandson, Jim, was born, Clem walked out across the

plowed field (in May, 1954) to where his son, John, was working and

announced, "Today I am a rich man" and then told of the birth of his first great

grandson (with the Longshore name). This was when he was 89 and he could

still get excited over the birth of a child!

He enjoyed doing favors for people and many is the time he took

someone to the doctor for regular treatments or took someone on an errand.

He seemed to enjoy his retirement because he could and did make himself

useful.

In his late years, his granddaughter, Betty and her husband, Sam Watts,

lived with Clem keeping house for him and caring for him when he needed it.

His life after age 16was somewhat serene and certainly more settled than his

father Truman's had been.

EZEKIEL BROWN

Ezekiel Brown was born March 13, 1760 in Orange County, New York and died

April 23, 1841, in Delaware County, Ohio at the home of his daughter, Nancy Brown

Leonard. He was married to Jane Smith, Feb. 26, 1786. She was born Sept. 15, 1766 and

died Aug. 19, 1821. In 1808 he came to Berkshire Township and settled on land a little

northeast of where Galena now is. He came from Lycoming County, PA, where he had

been elected to Congress for one or two terms.

In 1776 he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army and joined the forces under

Washington, just after the Battle of Trenton. He participated in several engagements.

Two years later, while on a furlough to visit his home, then in what is now Lycoming

Co., PA, he was unfortunately captured by the Indians. The incidents, as related by his

daughter, Nancy Brown Leonard, are as follows.

There had been numerous Indian alarms and the neighbors had gathered at

Ezekiel's father's house; a strong, hewed log cabin, which was easy of defense. Here

they awaited the onset of the savages, but they did not make the attack when expected.

Instead they kept secreted in the neighborhood for days until the settlers, lulled into a

false sense of security, went into their homes. As soon as the savages saw their plans

succeeding, they rushed in upon the unsuspecting and defenseless settlers, and

commenced their work of butchery. Ezekiel's father, mother, and sister's husband

were ruthlessly murdered, and himself and sister with her seven children were carried

into Indian captivity. The mother was separated from her children, and the children from

each other. Ezekiel was forced to pass through the forms preceding adoption into the

tribe. Three times during the journey to the main town of the Cayugas, near where

Scipio, N.Y. now stands, he was forced to run the gauntlet. The first time, he received a

severe wound from a tomahawk. The second time, less fortunate, he received a terrible

blow from a war club which felled him to the ground in a fearfully mangled condition.

His life seemed ended, but he finally recovered and proceeded with his captors to their

destination, where, after another trial, he passed through the fearful ordeal unharmed and

was adopted by a family who had lost a son in the war. He was afterwards taken to

Canada where he found his sister, and a clue to the whereabouts of her children. He

managed to become employed by a trader and bought his freedom,but the ties of kindred

were too strong for him to leave his sister in captivity. He at once set about securing her

release and that of her children. He had secured all of her seven children but two, when

one boy came up with the Indians and claimed his mother, but she told him she was not

his mother. He had changed so much and was so dirty she could not own him. She asked

him if he had any brothers and he said he had and told their names and said he had an

uncle, Ezekiel. Then she had to own him. They now had all the children but one boy

twelve years old. It was nearing the time when Ezekiel hoped to return to his friends, that

he learned a party of Indians with this boy was about to start for a distant point to hunt. If

this should occur, he despaired of ever seeing the child again, and determined to kidnap

the boy. Calling the Indians into the trader's cabin, he treated them to liquor. When they

became drunk he pushed them out and the boy in, then barred the door and waited the

issue. This treatment was not relished by the savages. The resented it by kicks and more

forcible attacks upon the door. There were no signs of it yielding, so they had to leave

the boy behind. But the lad had become enamored with the wild life of the woods and

longed to be with his Indian friends. One day while out playing he saw his opportunity

and his Uncle Ezekiel saw him running with all his might to regain his friends. With

sinking heart and almost in despair, he started in pursuit. The boy was recaptured and

with the whole family returned in 1783 to their friends in PA., after five years of Indian

captivity. Seven years later, Ezekiel Brown moved to Ohio and in 1808 to Berkshire

Township. Ezekiel Brown was my grandfather and your great grandfather.

Rachel Longshore

The Fourth child of the founding father David Longshore

(and wife, Elizabeth)



I D There is not much evidence to support the fact Rachel Longshore was a

child of David's, except it is known they had three daughters; that Rachel was

born in the same age bracket;and in the Vital Statistics in Delaware County

Library archives, a Rachel Longshore in 1836 md Tallman Squires. The Squires

always knew there was a family connection, even though they were not able to

trace it down,and in the early days of the Longshore Reunion, which began in

1898, they attended regularly.


___________________________________________________________



A history of how the Longshore Reunion all began follows:
___________________________________________________________

The Longshore Reunion idea was conceived on September 4,1897 at Condit,

Ohio in the home of Mrs. Ida Longshore (widow of David's son, Charles). Her

daughter, Eugenie Carpenter invited some folks into their home to celebrate

Ida's 80th birthday. It was then the well-wishers present decided to organize an

annual get-together beginning the next year, planning to have the first meeting

in the home of I.N. Longshore the 2nd Thursday of August, 1898. The first

I-DENTITY (p. 71)

[page 71]

[corresponds to page 68 of I-DENTITY]



president was Seth Longshore, Secretary Burr Squires. The reunion date later

was changed to the 2nd Sunday in August. (The old-timers frowned on social

activity on Sunday) The reunion has met every year since, making this the 78th

one.

This Reunion has been a large factor in holding the families together,

forming a nucleus, sort of. Although it was always held in central Ohio, since

that is the scene that the emigrators picked way back in 1808; family members

in various years have come from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota,as well

as distant points in Ohio. For many years, the annual affair was held in

different private homes; then in Galena Park where Charlie Longshore so

faithfully reserved the tables for the picnic; then it met a few times in Mt. Vernon

Municipal Park to be nearer the Mt. Vernon, Marion, and Mansfield contingent,

but for the past 15 or so years, the group has voted to meet in the beautiful

Centerburg Park facilities. It has shelter houses, horseshoe courts, basketball

court, and playground equipment in a lush setting beside a little stream. It has

been a tradition to serve ice cream in the afternoon following the business

meeting. Although everyone is stuffed to the brim with the abundance of good

food these excellent cooks turn out, there is always room made for this extra

treat. In these days of deep freezers, et cetera, ice cream is not the thrill it once

was, but yet the youngsters, who by then have run off their calories, look

forward to this part of the program, and yes, even the oldsters enjoy it!


Speaking of program, most likely everyone present can recall having

taken part in it in one way or another. The program through the years has taken on

every aspect in the entertainment field, and as one One that stands out is

Bob Cline telling us "That's Good; That's Bad" well --- and Jim Longshore's tale

about "No More Squoles". In this annual "talent show" there have been

reminiscences by the senior members; guitar and accordian playing; trios and

quartets; solos; tap dancing; patriotic readings; you name it, we've had it!

Some of the young adults remember fun things in their play; such as

walking the logs at the Galena Park, or the annual dousing someone's sure to

get in the babbling brook at Centerburg Park. Those on the Park Reserve

Committee could tell of some near fights over the saving of the shelter houses -

times when they have had to spend the night lying or sitting on one of the

tables in order to keep it! It is on a first-come-first-served basis for the early

bird gets the shelter house.


Best of all is the visiting and renewing of old acquaintances and the

making of new firends among relatives.

"Auld Lang Syne", "Till We Meet Again" !
