LITTLE VISITS WITH INTERESTING FOLK

Saturday, J anua ry 18, 1936, I call-ed to visit wi th my neighbor, of some years past, and my personal friend, Charles A. Hine, of West Thornton street, Akron, Ohio. For twelve years we lived ' a short stone's throw f rom each other . Mr. Hine is one of the most interest ing of men, so I f ind pleasure in in -troducing my fr iend to the h u n -dreds Who read this paper.

(Charles A. Hine was born a t Tallmadge, December 17, 1832. The grandfather , Dennis, and g rand-mother, Lucy Hine, came in ox carts through the wilderness and settled on what is known as Hine Hill, which is less t h a n a mile f rom the circle at Tallmadge, building a log cabin and a f te rward a brick house, tha t still graces the spot cho-sen for a home by the Hines in the year 1800. When little Charles was seven years of age, and the day before Chr is tmas and in the year 1880, tile boy cut across the woods and pasture lands of Sou th Ak-ron, for he had heard of a Ger -man . family napied Gaugler t h a t lived j n a log house by the shores of NesSbit Lake. Now there lived also in the Gaugler home Grand-mother Gammons, the mother of Mrs. Gaugler. Grandmother Cara-mons took quite a liking to t h e Hine boy and on many visits t h a t followed the good old woman would ride the boy on her knee, and tell of the days when the log house was the only one for miles and miles. ,

S h e told of the settlers f ight with Indians along Long Lake, a n d how the Ind ians by strategy p lanned to force a company of sett lers into t he Lake, then tomahawk them. T h e struggle between t h e two con-tending parties, of probably twenty nien on each side, was to hold t h e land side in the fig'ht t l jen force t he enemy into the Lake. But t h e whites got t he advantage and suc-ceeded in doing just wha t t he In -dians planned to do. So t h e settlers won the f igh t and destroy-ed most of t he Indians. ,

Mr. Hine had a wonderful collie^ t ion of Ind ian relics a t one time. , I recall h e told me his specimens h a d been appraised at $14,000. > Many o'f these specimens were r a r e and were secured a f t e r fnuch search and energy. Twenty-two. Ind ian skulls were par t of his exhibit. I n t h e course of the years our f r iend h a s owned 35000 pieces of f l int , or hatchets , or spears, or drills, or ''cowls, or grain crushers, or speci-mens used in games, or given for bravery, or emblems of worship, etc.

I never handle these mementos ef long ago but the re s tands before me, in vision and spirit, ti}e cun-ning, athletic, wild, roaming c r e a t - ' ure, the creator of all these im-plements of war and tools of use-fulness tha t hfe fingers, his energy shaped and fashioned.

Now his glory has passed. On his hun t ing grounds civilization ru m-bles and smokes, rasps, struggles, lives and dies.

SALVATION ARMY Las t Sunday morning s o m e

twenty-five soldiers for Christ f rom t h e Salvatio n Army of Akron came out in the bitter cold and gave us a very nice morning church serv-ice.

The Scripture reading was f rom the well-known thir teenth chapter of First Corinthians. Colonel Jen-kins, who is conducting meetings for t h e local camp in the Army's National Campaign to "win a mi l -lion souls for God in 1936," spoke on the frui ts of the Spirit, taking as his text Galat ians 5:22-23. "But t h e f rui t of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, tem-perance; against such there is no law."

T h e Salvation Army * quartet te sang;' also a beautiful duet was sang by two members of the or-ganization. To those who listened;' it was evident tha t all who took par t were inspired by the Spirit . They were genuine; they were s in-cere. People like such qualities.

ago. Twenty-two Sttow names are on our cemetery record.. While I have acted as sexiton I have buried only one colored person. His name was Green. So f a r as I know he is the only one buried here. Dur-ing all my lifetime in the township I have only known three families of colored people to 1 reside here. I will tell you briefly of the other grounds where Stow residents were buried.

The first burial recorded of a resident of Stow was made in Dar-rowville in 1807, two years before the first one here. This lovely little cemetery lies near the Stoiw Hudson line and has burials ' f rom both townships. Some one else perhaps can better tell i ts history. O'Brian cemetery in the southwest-ern corner of Hudson township has many Stow burials. Tha t section was called "Little Ireland" ^ for many years 'and most of the names

on the headstones are Irish. Tread lightly if you go there. The first burial recorded was a member of the Deacon family in 1806. I know of two family burial places in Stow. Perhaps there are more. One of these is on the old Ritchie f a rm on the Hudson road and the other is on the Ev. Lappien place. This f a rm originally belonged to George Stewart and the burials are from tha t family, I think.
