INTRODUCTORY

HE last Year Book of the Ohio Society, Sons of the American Revolution was published

in 1896, and it will naturally strike many

that the title " Year Book " is a misnomer

and that it would be more proper to call it the "Biennial Book" of the Society. The committee, elected at the annual meeting, to prepare and publish the Year Book, consisting of Compatriots Rev. Dr. A. A. E. Taylor, Major Harry P. Ward, M. A., Mr. Ken- neth D. Wood and Lucius C. Herrick, M. D., met soon after and organized. Rev. Dr. Taylor was chosen Chairman, Mr. Wood Treasurer and Dr. Herrick as Secretary and Editor. Circulars, calling for information desired and for subscrip- tions for extra copies of the book, were soon after prepared and mailed to all the members of the Society. Responses came so slowly that the work was very materially retarded, and this, in part, accounts for the delay in completing the book. The gathering of information concerning the location of the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in Ohio, and com- piling the same after its reception, caused much extra work on the part of the editor, and, consequently, consumed much more time than would otherwise have been necessary; but we trust the result of that work, as presented in the list of Revolutionary soldiers buried in this state will prove ample compensation for the time consumed in its preparation. The list is far from being complete, but we hope it will stimulate the members of the Society in all parts of the state to make more diligent research in this work, so that the next issue of the Year Book may contain nearly exhaustive informa- tion upon the subject. The accessions to the roll of members in the last two years have been quite numerous, as attested by the large number of new names. The Society has lost several by death, among whom were three sons of Revolutionary fathers; which fact reminds us that the ranks of the latter are now about as thin as were those of their fathers within the recollection of many of our members, and the time is not far distant when it will be necessary to add the prefix "grand" to the name of our

Society in order to properly express its significance. The book has increased quite materially in the number of pages, notwithstanding the large amount of pruning exer- cised in the selection and arrangement of matter, and it will continue to expand as the membership increases.

This class of publications is now in great demand among

genealogists, and they could be made still more useful by using a more liberal amount of the matter which can be found in the application papers. The Year Book Committee in the aggregate hereby return their most sincere thanks to the Society for the confidence reposed in them, and the editor in particular most gratefully acknowledges his obligations to the members for their hearty co-operation and returns his grateful thanks for their patience and forbearance during the somewhat protracted prosecution of this work.

Captain LAWRENCE L. BRASHER, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was born at Mt. Pleasant, Hamilton County, Ohio, July 9, 1819, and has always resided in the immediate vicinity of his birth-place. He is now in charge of Station "A" of the Cincinnati Post Office, which position he has held for some thirteen years. Captain Brasher has been a great worker in and for the public schools, and has held many of the minor offices within the gift of the people. He has been a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance nearly all Of his useful and active life.

Mr. JAMES MARTIN, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, was born in Washington County, Pa., February 9, 1807. He came to Mt. Vernon June 18, 1818, being then an orphan seven years of age. He was raised on a farm and has followed that occupation all his life, embarking in the thorough- bred stock business in 1860. He was married and had a son and a daughter, both of whom died in 1869. His wife died in 1875. He resides one mile from the city of Mt. Vernon, and is now quite feeble. He is now fin- ishing the journey of life alone, his family all having pre- ceded him to the other side of the river. His father was a First Lieutenant and Captain and served most of the time during the Revolution; was born in Ireland, and died in Washington County, Pa., October 6, 1816.

Rev. ELI ALVIN TURNEY, of North Amherst, Lorain County, Ohio, was born in Madison, Lake County, Ohio, March 23, 1815. He learned the ship-building trade and worked in Lake Erie ports. In 1833 he settled in Am- herst, Lorain County, which has since been his home. He married, first, Minerva Seeley, who died in 1868, and

149 second, Mrs. Arvilla Branch. In 1850 Mr. Turney was licensed to preach in the Free Will Baptist Church, and was ordained in 1856.

Mr. LEVI BARNS WARD, of 304 East Gambier Street, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, was born in Brandon, Vermont, April 10, 1808. In 1814 he came with his father's family to Ohio, and in 1816 settled on a small farm in the wilderness, near Mt. Vernon. For twenty-five years he remained on the farm and then engaged in mercantile business, which he has since followed. Although nearly eighty- nine years of age, Mr. Ward enjoys the ability to at- tend to business. At the meeting of the Ohio Society, S. A. R., in 1896, Mr. Ward made a short speech which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

Hon. LUCIUS BLISS WING, of Newark, Ohio, was born at Wilmington, Vermont, November 15, 1822. He was educated at Williston Seminary, near Northampton, and for five years was a teacher in the public schools of West- ern Massachusetts. He married Mary M. Mayhew, of revolutionary ancestry, who is also descended from Gov- ernor Thomas Mayhew, of Martha's Vineyard, Massa- chusetts. Mr. Wing was President of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture in 1880, and has been a Trustee of the Ohio State University since 1881. He was, in 1896, Republican Presidential Elector for the Seventeenth Congressional District of Ohio. By occupation Mr. Wing is a banker, being President of the Franklin Bank Company of Newark, Ohio. During the year 1895 and for nearly two months in 1896 he was President of the Ohio Society, S. A. R., and has several times served as Delegate to the National Society, S. A. R., in which capacities his well-known enthusiasm and ability have been of great value to the Ohio Society. DECEASED MEMBERS WHO WERE SONS OF REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.

MOUNT VERNON.

By W. I. Curry.

The following poem was read before the Benjamin Franklin Chapter,

>. A. R., at their meeting held at the Chittenden Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, Jecember, 1897.

ripple of Potomac's stream, break gently where the tread greatest dead Of thousands press the hallowed sod about our ; Mount Vernon, Freedom's dearest shrine, guard well thy sacred trust Locked in thy royal heart of hearts we keep the patriot's dust.

1 see him glide among the huts that dot a cheerless gorge,

The Joshua of a struggling band, the man of Valley Forge ; Where'er he goes, his smile illumes the shades that thickly lie And all who hear his words resolve with him " to do or die."

The pilgrim comes from lands enslaved beyond the restless sea,

To meditate where sleeps the man who taught men to be free ; The glitter of the blade he drew makes bright the world to-day, And hands unborn will crown its hilt with laurel and with bay.

He needs no granite shaft to tell of glorious actions done ;

His monument ?—the fairest land that lies beneath the sun ! To-night with swelling pride we seek the banquet board once more And drink to him whose fame goes far beyond Virginia's shore.

And now another noble son, has filled the Chair of State, So grandly filled by Washington, in fame forever great With laurels fair we crowned his brow, Ohio's gifted son, Then quaff again to the hero who the conquering host led on.

Thus back to Washington to-night our thoughts, like eagles, fly. glory's sky 'T was he who gave our flag the stars that shine in ; Wrapped in his cloak he calmly sleeps upon Mount Vernon's breast Of Liberty's immortal sons the greatest and the best. NATHANIEL GREENE CHAPTER.

In compliance with the action of the society at its last annual meeting in regard to locating and reporting the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in Ohio, the Committee on the 1898 Year Book embodied in the circular which was sent to all the members a request to report all graves of Revolutionary soldiers in their respective neighborhoods. A goodly number of responses have been received, for which due credit is given in the reports; a number of deaths of Revolutionary soldiers occurring in this state have also been found in the applications of members of this society, but the greater portion of the following list has been copied—in a considerably condensed form—from the Record of Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Hamilton county, Ohio, compiled by General Samuel F. Cary, and a list of Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Adams county, furnished by Mary Stevenson, of Adams county, published in the Register of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the Revolution for 1895. Those from the former list are des- ignated by the letter "C," and from the latter by the letter "S." The Committee hopes that our members will profit by the elegant style in which General Cary has set forth the facts, and will try to make as creditable a showing, in our next Year Book, for the other counties of Ohio as he has done for Hamilton in the publication of the kindred society. There are many graves of Revolutionary soldiers within the bounds of our state. By a little work members can add many names to this already valuable list and thereby greatly assist in the general work of the society, the object of whose existence is, as stated in the Constitution and By- Laws, "to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men who achieved American Independence." 162 ;

He was an early emigrant to Hamilton county, and took part in organizing the council of the village of Cincinnati, of which he was elected Presi- dent, performing the function of Mayor. He died about 1811.—C. :

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1898.

Columbus, Ohio, January 11, 1898. The annual meeting of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution was held at the Chittenden Hotel parlors on the above date, at 2 p. m. President James M. Richardson was in the chair. Chap- lain Taylor not being present, Dr. Aldrich was requested to open the meeting with prayer. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approved. Secretary Robert M. Davidson then read his report for the past year, which on motion was accepted, and was as fol- lows : REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.

Newark, O., January 11, 1898. To the Officers and Members of the Ohio Society Sons of the American Revolution: Compatriots—I herewith respectfully submit my an- nual report for the year 1897 Number of members January 11, 1897 340 Gained during the year 75 Total membership to date 415 During the year I have collected from delinquent mem- bers to whom I was instructed to write the sum of $37.00. The Ohio Society has been honored by the National So- ciety during the year by having the National Congress meet , first, in Cleveland and in adjournment at Cincinnati, where in conjunction with the National Society Sons of the 219 : :

Revolution plans were adopted by which the two patriotic societies may unite in one great body—The Society of the American Revolution. I have received from several State Societies during the year memorials of deceased members. I think this a very appropriate custom and would suggest that the Ohio So- ciety issue one to be sent to every member on the death of any Compatriot. Great interest has been taken not only by the members but by the public, in the general workings and principles of the Sociey and the new membership gained is certainly an indication of the good results attained. Something over 400 letters have been received and answered during the year in connection with the Society and it is now in the most flourishing condition it has ever been, since its organization. To the officers and members who have so kindly assisted me during the year, I hereby return thanks. I remain, very respectfully, R. M. Davidson, Secretary.

On motion, the report was referred to an auditing com- mittee, the President appointing Messrs. E. O. Randall and V. E. Wyman as such committee.

The Registrar, Colonel William L. Curry, then read his report, which on motion was adopted, as follows: REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR. Columbus, Ohio, January 11, 1898. There has been more interest manifested by our mem- bers during the past year than any year since our Society was organized, and more inquiry for blanks and informa- tion as to the requirements for eligibility. It seems that our membership, which has been largely increased during the past year, has grown without any particular effort on the part of the old members. Profes- sional men, officers of the army and men of all the higher walks of life are anxious to join our Society and our new members have come in great numbers from that class of late. There has been some weeding out during the year, and a number of names have been dropped from the rolls, of 221 those who have not completed their records. Two have been dropped by transfer, four have died, leaving our membership in good standing 347, with a number of ap- plications pending. We now have six Chapters in the State, and the organi- zation of other Chapters should be encouraged in different localities, as it will add largely to our membership. As evidence of the general desire of our best citizens to join some one of our patriotic societies, the Librarian of the City Library of Washington reports that ninety per cent, of the books consulted during the past year were by persons looking up the records of their ancestors for the purpose of joining one of these Societies. As instructed by the Society at the last annual meeting, the Treasurer purchased for the use of the Registrar, Heit- man's Register of the Continental Army, Hamersley's Register of Officers from 1779 to 1879, and Saffell's Rec- ords of the Revolutionary war, all of which are of good service in looking up the records of ancestors of appli- cants. Having been instructed by the Society to exchange year books with our Society of other states, I have made exchanges with the States of California, Indiana, Wash- ington, Connecticut, New York, and District of Columbia. These books have already been of great benefit to appli- cants for membership to our Society, and a number of rec- ords have been completed by referring to the records of members of the same families in other states. We are on a firmer foundation to-day than ever before, and can assert our independence with as much confidence as any other patriotic society. There was a time when we had a struggle for existence, when it took nerve, persistent work and continuous effort to strengthen our little organi- zation, and keep those of "little faith" in line. But that day is past, and the patriotic citizen is anxious to join a Society that is destined to do great good in our country, handed down to us bv our patriotic sires, who fought, and died upon the battlefields of the Revolution. They left us a glorious heritage, and we will preserve in our hearts the memory of their heroic deeds, and perpetu- ate the spirit of the men who achieved American Independ- ence. W. L. Curry. Registrar. 222 :

The report of the Historian was then called for, but Dr. Herrick said that he had not prepared biographical sketches of deceased members, because of lack of time to

do so ; but would promise to prepare them in time to be in- serted in the Year Book. The President made some remarks in reference to the matter of union between this Society and the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and in order to bring the matter before the Society Dr. Aldrich presented the following resolutions Resolved, That this Society ratify the plan of union and constitution submitted for the formation of a society to be composed of the Sons of the American Revolution and of the Sons of the Revolution, as the said plan and constitu- tion were adopted at the special congress held at Cincin- nati on October 12, 1897, this ratification to take effect when a majority of the state societies of the Sons of the Revolution have ratified the same. Resolved, That the Executive Committee to be selected by the newly-elected Board of Management be a commit- tee to take the necessary steps to complete the organization of the new state society of the united organization, with full power to act in the matter, if one is to be formed. After a great deal of animated discussion by Dr. Aldrich, President Richardson and Messrs. Chase and Brister, the resolutions were adopted. Mr. Randall, of the auditing committee, then obtained permission to report, and reported that the committee, on comparing the report of the Treasurer with his books and "vouchers, found everything correct, and on motion the re- port was accepted. Rev. Dr. Taylor moved that a committee be appointed to superintend the publication of a Year Book, following the plan of the previous Year Books. The motion was seconded by Colonel Curry and was adopted. The President then appointed Rev. Dr. Taylor as Chair- man, with Mr. Kenneth D. Wood and Major Ward. Major Ward asked to withdraw and suggested that Dr. Herrick be appointed in his place. The President, however, with the consent of the Society without a motion, added Dr. Herrick to that committee. An amendment to the constitution, providing that the date for payment of dues in this society be changed from the first day of April to the first day of January each year, was then called up. Mr. Wood moved its adoption, and being duly seconded, was put to a vote by the chair and declared adopted. The President stated that his attention had been called to an allowance of $100 which was made to the Treasurer for incidental expenses by the Board of Management, and which had not been ratified by the Society. On motion of Dr. Aldrich, duly seconded, the above named allowance was approved by the Society. Colonel Chase made a motion that Anthony Wayne Chapter, No. 3, be permitted to change its name to the Northwestern Ohio Chapter, and to comprise twelve coun- ties in the northwestern part of the state, which was sec- onded by Dr. Taylor. After a good deal of discussion, the motion was amended so as to read as follows: "Resolved, That Anthony W^ayne Chapter, No. 3, be permitted to take into its jurisdiction from counties im- mediately adjacent thereto, not exceeding twelve in all, such counties as may desire to affiliate with it in member- ship." The motion was seconded as amended, and being put to a vote by the President was declared lost. Colonel Chase then asked that Anthony Wayne Chap- ter, No. 3, be allowed to drop the "No. 3" from its title; which, by the unanimous consent of the convention, was granted. The Society then proceeded with the election of officers. (See pages 153-4.) On motion of Major Ward, duly seconded and carried, it was decided to hold a banquet at the next annual meet- ing of the State Society. General Brinkerhoff then offered the following resolu- tion : Resolved, That after 1898 the President of this Society shall not be eligible for re-election. The President ruled that the resolution must lie over for action until next year, as it changes the constitution. On motion, the Society adjourned. (Signed) James M. Richardson, President.

Dr. JOHN NOBLE BEACH REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN.

The following biographical sketches of deceased mem- bers of this Society were prepared principally from data furnished by the families of the respective subjects, and we trust this statement will sufficiently explain any apparent partiality in treatment. Several of the sketches were pre- pared by the Registrar, Colonel W. L. Curry, and by him read at the annual meeting, and the others are the work of the Historian.

DR. JOHN NOBLE BEACH.

John Noble Beach, M. D., a member of this Society, was born in Amity, Madison county, Ohio, January 29, 1829, and died at Chattanooga, Tennessee, July 17, 1897, where he was visiting his daughters. He was a son of Uri and Hannah (Noble) Beach; grandson of Obil and Elizabeth (Kilbourn) Beach, and his maternal grandparents were Rev. Seth Noble and Hannah Barker. His father died when he was but three years old and left his family with scant means of support; hence his educa- tional privilges were confined to the common schools, with the exception of a short time at the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity, in Delaware, in 1846. At the age of fifteen he taught a winter school, and continued teaching for three winters afterwards, spending the summer of 1846, as above mentioned, at Delaware, and the two following summers reading medicine with Dr. Charles McCloud, and for two winters attending lectures at the Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, where he received the degree of M. D.. February 15, 1850. In the spring of 1849, after his first course of lectures, he commenced practice in Unionville Center, Union county, and returned there after graduating, the next year. In the fall of 1851, he went to New York, where he remained six months prosecuting his studies in one of the schools and in hospitals, returning to Unionville again where he remained until 1853, when he removed to Plain City, and from thence to West Jefferson, in 1858; which latter place remained his residence during the re- mainder of his life. On April 14, 1862, he was commissioned Surgeon of the Fortieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was on duty with his regiment until the following September, when he was assigned to staff duty, serving as Medical Director of va- rious Brigades and Divisions until he was mustered out, December 6, 1864. In addition to his staff duties, he was one of the operating surgeons of a division hospital. After completing his service, he returned to his practice. In 1875, he was elected to a professorship in the Columbus Medical College, but resigned the next year as it interfered too much with his other engagements. He was elected a member of the House of Representatives for the years 1875-6, and served during the two sessions of that Legisla- ture. In 1878, he was commissioned Surgeon of the Four- teenth Regiment Ohio Nations. Guard, being the first to act in that capacity. In 1880, he was appointed Surgeon- General on the staff of Governor Charles Foster, which po- sition he held for four years. He also held the position of President of the Board of Pension Examiners for Madison county for four years.

He was married June 1, 1858, to Eliza J. Snyder, who, with two daughters, Mrs. Dr. J. R. Rathmill, of Chatta- nooga, and Mrs. Charles A. Shinn, of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, survive him. His grandfather, Obil Beach, enlisted at an early period of the war of the Revolution in the Connecticut Militia, serving two or three terms of six months each, and later en- listing in the Continental army for three years. He re- moved from Litchfield, Connecticut, to Poultney, Vermont, in 1783 or 178-4 ; to New Haven, Vermont, about 1790, and to Canaan township, Madison county, Ohio, in 1817, where he died October 5, 1846. His maternal grandfather, Rev. Seth Noble, was settled in the ministry in Mangerville. Nova Scotia, in 1774, where he was active in awakening a feeling for the Colonies. He wrote, May 20, 1776 : "We have unanimously signed a paper to join New England in the national struggle, and are making all possible preparations for war. The fleet and army that went from Boston to Halifax have sailed, we sup- pose for New England, though they pretended they were going to Quebec." In 1777, so violent had been his oppo- sition to the Crown that, on the approach of an armed Brit- ish schooner, to avoid taking the oath of allegiance, he fled, narrowly escaping with his life. Immediately after reach- ing New England he entered service, for his name appears on the Massachusetts muster rolls among the non-commis- sioned officers in the companies of Captains Dyer and West, who marched to St. John, Nova Scotia, in 1777. His term of service was two months and five days. For his sacrifice in leaving his home in Nova Scotia the govern- ment subsequently gave him a section of land in the Refu- gee tract on the east bank of the Scioto, where Columbus is now situated, and covered the land where the State House now stands. An old letter mentions their cabin near the large mound. Rev. Mr. Noble preached at Frank- linton, Worthington, Granville and Darby (now Plain City), in 1806 and 1807. He died in 1808, and was first buried in the old graveyard at Franklinton. Compatriot Beach belonged to the Masonic Order and to the Methodist Church, as well as to the Loyal Legion and other military organizations, and various medical so- cieties, local, state and national, and he became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution in 1893, basing his application upon the services of his two grandfathers above mentioned. HON. GEORGE LEROY CONVERSE.

George Leroy Converse, a member of this Society, was born in Georgesville, Franklin county, Ohio, June -4, 182?, and died in Columbus, March 30, 1897. He was the son of Dr. George Washington and Cassandra (Cook) Con- verse; grandson of Sanford Converse, who was a soldier in the war of 1812 ; great-grandson of Jeremiah Converse, who was a Private in the war of the Revolution, and was wounded by a musket ball in the left shoulder, which troubled him during his long life, and great-great-grand- son of Pain Converse, who was an officer in the Revolu- tion. The family descent is from the French Huguenots, and the first of the American line came to the western con- tinent with Winthrop. After the death of Dr. Converse, his wife, being a woman of more than ordinary attain- ments, supported herself and child by teaching. George, guided and assisted by his mother, obtained the elements of his education at the district school, afterwards attend- ing the preparatory school called Central College, in Franklin county, and then entering Denison University, at Granville, Ohio, from which he graduated in 1849. He then went to Tiffin, Ohio, where he studied law with Gen- eral J. W. Wilson, and removed to Columbus in January, 1852. In 1854, he was elected prosecuting attorney, serv- ing one term and declining re-election. He immediately took a leading position in the Franklin county bar, was devoted to his profession, and did not court political pre- ferment. But he was not thus destined to remain in private life, for in 1859 he was elected a member of the legislature and again in 1861, serving two terms. In 1863, he was elected to the state senate and became the recognized leader of the Democratic party. In 1873, he was again elected to the lower house and made its speaker, when his efficiency and resources as a parliamentarian attracted the attention of the entire country. He was re-elected in 1875 and was the leader of his party on the floor of the house. In 1877 he was a prominent candidate for the gubernato- rial nomination, but was distanced by the superior business

management of his competitor, R. M. Bishop, who also se- cured the election. In 1878 he was elected to congress, and continued in office for three successive terms, and after his retirement from congress he devoted the remain- der of his life to the practice of his profession. In 1892, he was appointed a delegate to the Nicaragua Canal Con- vention at St. Louis, of which he was made chairman, and of a subsequent convention held at New Orleans, called by him under authority of the former convention. In this he took the broad view that the government should construct the canal as a national safeguard, and in the interests of commerce, his position being wise and patriotic, which he eloquently portrayed in numerous addresses which he was invited to deliver in different cities. Mr. Converse was twice married: First on September 16, 1852, to Sarah E., daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Walker) Patterson, of Columbus, who died November 19, 1883, a woman highly respected for her many good quali- ties. Four children of this marriage survive, Wade Con- verse, Mrs. Mary C. Follett, Captain George L. Converse, all of Columbus, and H. P. Converse, of Boston, Mass. He married second, in 1889, Elouise, daughter of Dr. Chaun-

cey P. and Clara (Slaughter) Landon, of Columbus ; four children having been born of this union, one of whom died in infancy and three survive, namely, Helen, Samuel Ran- dall and Elouise Converse. Compatriot Converse became a member of this Society in 1895, his application bearing date July 30, and being based upon the service of his great-great-grandfather, Lieutenant Pain Converse, of Captain Joseph Elliott's Company of Colonel Putnam's Eleventh Regiment Con- necticut Militia. In April, 1776, he marched with his com- pany, from Killingly, Connecticut, for the relief of Boston in the Lexington alarm, and is believed to have been at the battle of Bunker Hill in the same capacity. He was also Lieutenant and acting Captain of a company of the same regiment which marched to the relief of General Washing- ton's army in what is known as the New York campaign. The military records of Connecticut during the war of the Revolution show about twenty-five names of the Converse family, all of whom were kindred of our compatriot, and there were others in the other New England colonies be- sides. The patriotic spirit has been transmitted in the family from the time of the Revolution, its members having figured in nearly all the succeeding wars, and one son of Compatriot Converse, Captain George L. Converse, has maintained the military record of the family to the present time, being a graduate of the United States Military Acade- my, a participant in the Indian wars since the Rebellion, and was severely wounded in the action against Indians at J5. c Dry Wasii, Arizona, July 17, 1SS2, on account of which he was retired from service. But on the breaking out of the Cuban war he again offered his services to his country and was given the position of Captain in the Ohio Cavalry. He took an active interest in the Society, was a regular attendant at its meetings, and labored assiduously in the efforts to bring about a union of the two kindred societies. In 1886, he was elected one of the delegates of the State Society to the National Congress, and the proceedings of that body attest the fact that he was faithful and energetic in the execution of the trust.

HON. EDWARD HUBBARD FITCH.

Edward Hubbard Fitch, a member of this Society, was born in Ashtabula, Ohio, May 27, 1837, died at Conneaut, Ohio, September 9, 1897, and was buried in Chestnut Grove Cemetery, in the former city. He was a son of Hon. Orramel Hinckley and Catharine Maria (Hubbard) Fitch. He descended from sturdy, patriotic New England stock and inherited all their sterling qualities. His educa- tion was commenced in the common schools of his native town, supplemented by a preparatory course at St. Catha- rines, Canada, and completed at Williams College, which he entered in 1854, graduated therefrom in 185S, and re- ceived the degree of A. M. in 1861. While in that old col- lege, he formed the friendship of James A. Garfield, which continued unabated until the death of the latter. Imme- diately after graduating from college he took up the study of the law with his father and was admitted to the bar in 1860. He was associated in practice with his father, and later with Judge Horace Wilder, Judge L. S. Sherman and with Hon. S. A. Northway. On the formation of the last partnership, in 1878, he removed from Ashtabula to Jeffer- son, the county seat. 230 ' i i Hon. EDWARD HUBBARD FITCH

;

He married, October 27, 1863, Alta D., daughter of Phi- lander and Elizabeth (Gilman) Winchester, of Columbus,

Ohio. Eight children were born of this marriage : Catha- rine Hubbard, born February 15, 1865, died 1872; Win- chester, born November 21, 1867; Annette, born January 31, 1870, married I. C. Brewer, Jr., of Sandusky, Ohio;

Elizabeth Gilman, born January, 1872, died 1880 ; Edward

Hubbard, born March 31, 1873 ; Alta, born July 25, 1876

Flora C, born August 6, 1879 ; Charles Gilman, born in Jefferson, 1881, died March, 1886. For twenty years he was recorder and member of the

Ashtabula council ; fifteen years a justice of the peace, and forty years a notary public; was prosecuting attorney of Ashtabula county in 1867-8, and was elected to represent the county in the legislature in 1870. In 1892, he read be- fore the Ohio State Bar Association an exhaustive paper on the "Torrens System of Registration of Land Titles," and afterwards formulated a bill which was passed by the Ohio Legislature, which, as had been a similar law in Illi- nois, was declared unconstitutional by the courts of Ohio but notwithstanding the action of the courts, the Bar As- sociation at a subsequent meeting gave the measure their hearty approval. He devoted considerable time to scientific research, and from 1857 to the time of his death was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and at the time he was stricken with the paroxysm of disease which resulted in his death, was on his way to Detroit to attend a meeting of that Society, and by great effort suc- ceeded in returning to Conneaut, where he died a short time after. Compatriot Fitch became a member of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in April, 1885, basing his eligibility for membership upon the service of his great-grandfather. Captain Abraham Fitch, who com- manded a Company in the Second Regiment of Light Horse Cavalry from Connecticut. He marched his Com- pany to New London, when the town was burned by Arnold, and reached there just as the last boats of the British were leaving the wharf. Captain Fitch was also a soldier in the French and Indian war. "He was remark- able for the equanimity of his temper, was very regular in his habits, and was never confined to his bed by sickness a

231 day in his life. He walked out of doors an hour before his death, April 21, 1821, aged 84 years. "*

JAMES FOLLETT.

Deacon James Follett, a son of a Revolutionary soldier and a life member of the Ohio Society, Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution, died on Tuesday, August 23, 189S, after a brief illness, at his home in Hartford, Licking county, Ohio. He was born February 24, 1811, at Enosburgh, Vermont, of which town his father had been one of the founders in 1797. His early life was spent on his father's farm in the rocky hills of his native state, where he acquired ample preparation, physical, mental and moral, for the hard work of a pioneer farmer in Ohio. He came to Ohio early in the thirties, when it required almost as many days as it now takes hours, to make the trip, traveling as they did in those days by lake boat and in wagons. He first cleared a farm near Granville, and subsequently bought a farm near Hart- ford, which locality was his home for some forty-four years. He returned to Vermont in 1837 to marry, which event took place October 5, 1837, in East Berkshire, the township adjacent to Enosburgh. His wife was Jane Comings (born March 2, 1816, died' February 26, 1864), daughter of An- drew Comings, another one of the sturdy pioneers of north- ern Vermont, who had been Orderly Sereeant in the War of 1812, and was subsequently a Captain of Militia and a magistrate. Mr. Follett's wife was also the grand-da"ghter of Benjamin Comings, a Revolutionary soldier who fought at Bennington. Of the eight children resulting from this marriage, three only survive, Mrs. Sarah Lincoln and Mrs. Ellen Wells, of Hartford, Ohio, and Mr. Fay Comings Fol- lett, of Hastings, Nebraska. Mr. Follett, though removed from the Revolution but one generation, had six direct ancestors and nearly a score of collateral ancestors who assisted in the achievement of American Independence. In the War of 181? his father was Captain and three brothers were Privates in the local militia company, and all his numerous uncles and cousins served in some capacity from Colonel in the regular army down to Private in the militia, a relative being represented

Mr. Follett remembered something of the great excitement in the neighborhood occasioned by the battle of Pitts- burgh, which was fought not many miles from his home. Deacon Follett's father. Captain Martin Dewey Follett, whose military record appears elsewhere in this volume, was the first man to mark the trees through the dense forests that lay between Enosburgh and the St. Lawrence. Mon- treal was some seventy miles distant and Mr. Follett some- times accompanied his father on his journeys to that city to exchange their produce and live stock for supplies. In winter a considerable part of the distance was traveled on the ice of the St. Lawrence. Captain Follett was for many years a member of the Vermont Legislature and at one time county judge. Of his ten children, but one now survives, since the death of Deacon Tames Follett, Mrs. Hannah Fol- lett Clark, of Hartford, Ohio, now nearly 95 years of age. She has been for several years a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. His funeral was very largelv attended, he being one of the oldest residents of the locality, and the oldest male mem- ber of the Hartford Congregational Church, of which he had been deacon for many years.

FRANK L. FORD, C. E.

Frank L. Ford, a member of this Society, whose name never before appeared in our Year-Book, was born in the then village of East Cleveland, Ohio, on January 26, 1853, and died in the city of Cleveland. September. 28. 1897, His education commenced in the district school near his birth-place, was continued at the Central High School of Cleveland and was finished at the Renssplaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New York, where he received the degree of Civil Engineer in 1874. He followed his profession for several years in Ohio and Kentucky, but dearth of rail- road construction consequent upon the panic of 1873 led him to seek employment in other fields, and he spent sev- eral years in Colorado. About 1883. he returned to Ohio and engaged in the business of life insurance, and at the ;

time of his death was General Agent of the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts.

He married, October 3, 1876, Miss Eva M., daughter of the late J. E. and Elizabeth R. Hurlbut, and two daugh- ters, Florence and Elizabeth, and two sons, Hurlbut and Dennison, are the fruits of that marriage. Compatriot Ford filed his application for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution with the Western Reserve Society on January 16, 1897, and received Na- tional Number 9538 and State Number 348. basing his eligibility to membership upon the service of his great- grandfather, Hezekiah Ford, who participated in the bat- tle of Bennington, serving as a Private in Captain William Ward's (Hampshire county) Company of Colonel Ezra May's Regiment, enlisting August 17, 1777, and serving five days ; also enlisted July 21, 1779, as a Private in Cap- tain Benjamin Bonney's Company of Colonel Elisha Por- ter's Hampshire County Regiment, and served in Connec- ticut in repelling the attacks of General Arnold after his treachery. The latter time he served one month and twelve days. His ancestry contained much good fighting stock, for his great-great-grandfather, Hezekiah Ford, Sr., was a Lieutenant in the French and Indian war. and his grandfather, Cyrus Ford, was at the battle of Lake Cham- plain in the war of 1812. He was for many years a member of the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, of Cleveland, and at the time of his death its Sunday School Superintendent. Of him it was said by one who knew him well : "Mr. Ford was a loyal representative of a noble ancestry, ever mindful of the upright character and Christian purpose of his forefathers wherever we found him we found the manly, helpful nature —a nature so useful in this needy world." HENRY ROGERS.

Henry Rogers, a life member of this Society, was born in Greensburg, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, May 31, 1806, and died at his home in Mt. Healthy, Hamilton county, December 1, 1896. He was a son of Henry and Phoebe (Burnett) Rogers. His father, Henry Rogers, was born in Middlesex county, New Jersey, December 21, 1752, and died in Springfield township, Hamilton county, July 17, 1840, and was buried in the Roll graveyard on the west fork of Mill- creek, Cumminsville. He entered the Revolutionary ser- vice under Lord Sterling in 1775 and served for one year. He was a weaver by trade, and came to Hamilton county early in the century. When six months old, the subject of this sketch was brought to Cincinnati, where the family remained untd 1812, removing to Springfield township, where he con- tinued to reside during the remainder of his life. At the age of seventeen he was apprenticed to the cabinet-maker's trade ; but after a few years he gave it up for farming, which was afterwards his life work. He married the only daugh- ter of Jedediah Hill, and the only child, Wilson T. Rogers, is now living upon the old homestead at Mt. Healthy.

Compatriot Rogers was made a life member of this So- ciety on February 1, 1896, on account of being a son of a Revolutionary soldier. HON. JOSEPH PATTERSON SMITH.

Joseph Patterson Smith, a member of this Society, was born in West Union, Adams county, Ohio, August 7, 1856, and died at Miami, Florida, February 5, 1898. He was the seventh of eleven children of Judge John Mitchell and Matilda Ann (Patterson) Smith. His grandfather, Judge David Campbell Smith, graduated at Dartmouth College in 1813, was admitted to the bar the year following, and in 1 1815 came from Francistown, New Hampshire, and settled at Franklinton, now a part of the city of Columbus, before

the latter became the state capital ; was the first lawyer to locate there, and was one of the first Associate Judges of the Common Pleas Court of Franklin county. He was subsequently a member of the legislature, and was by that body elected State Printer. He established a weekly news- paper, called the Ohio Monitor, in 1816, which in 1836 he sold to Jacob Medary, Jr., and it became the Ohio States- man. His father, John M. Smith, was born in Columbus, Ohio, June 29, 1819, and was educated at Blendon College, Franklin county. In 1840, he went to Adams county and

the next year was elected County Recorder ; in 1819-'50 he represented Adams and Pike counties in the legislature, and during the 50's was Probate Judge of the former county for three terms. For many years he published the Adams County Democrat. Besides the above, he held other important official positions. His ancestors were Scotch-Irish, being among the colony of Scotch Presby- terians from Argyleshire which settled in the Province of Ulster, Ireland, in 1612. On the maternal side, the Patter- sons were one of the oldest families of Virginia, originally from England. Joseph P. Smith had very meagre advantages in the ear- lier years of his life, and from his sixteenth year he earned his own living, at which time he took employment in a nail mill at Bellaire, Ohio. Afterwards he went to Green- castle, Indiana, where he was connected with a newspaper, working on the paper at night, and attending college in the daytime. He did not graduate, however, but afterwards 236 JOSEPH I'ATTEKSU."

became a teacher of country schools in Ohio and Illinois. In 1876, he was a special correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, making a specialty of the political news of the state ; was also for a time editor of the Clermont Courier was message clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives, in 1879-'80 ; from 1888 to 1890, was editor and one of the proprietors of the Urbana (Ohio) Daily Citizen. He compiled the book entitled "Speeches and Addresses of William McKinley."* In 1892 he was appointed State Li- brarian, which office he resigned in May, 1896, and was thereafter with the McKinley campaign committee and worked assiduously throughout the entire campaign at Can- ton, and remained there until after the election and accom- panied the President to Washington before his inaugura- tion. On March 29, 1897, he was appointed Director of the Bureau of American Republics, in which office he con- tinued to work with the same unremitting energy which had characterized his labor throughout the campaign until the President insisted upon his taking rest and quiet. Mr. Smith reluctantly consented, and repaired to Miami, Flor- ida, only to yield up his life there in a short time. Mr. Smith was married at Galveston, Texas, on April 14, 1886, to Miss Maryneal Hutches, who was born in that city March 1, 1860. Seven children have been born to them: Frank Hutches, born in Galveston; Virginia Patterson, born in Batavia, Ohio; Antoinette Barker, Mary Stowe, John Mitchell, William McKinlev and Joseph Patterson, all born in Urbana, where the family now resides. At the time of his death, the whole press of Ohio, regard- less of party, spoke of him only in terms of praise. Among them all, we can find no more candid and truthful portrayal of his life and character than the following, taken from the Canton Repository of February 5, 1898 #*** * * * * * "Supremely faithful and loving to his family, combined with his beautiful qualities of heart and brightest of bright intellects, his greatest virtue was his unfaltering loyalty to the cause in which were enshrined his brightest earthly hopes and ambitions. "Had his physical body possessed the strength to support his indomitable energy in the assiduous application of his

remarkable intellect, few men would have equaled him in possibilities of attainment. "His fertile head was a veritable storehouse. History, ancient and modern, were constant and living pictures in his always lively memory. His brain seemed incandescent with the knowledge almost of the world, when ripe occa- sion made its demand on his resourceful mind. When working in the cause he loved the most, he knew no night or day. Sleep could only come when utter physical exhaust- ion*********forced tired nature to assert herself. He was firm in the faith of Everlasting Peace to come. In Canton, in his tribute to a friend who had gone from earth, he wrote in paraphrase " Tears for the living Love for the dead." "And yet many's the heart that grieves, and myriad are the eyes that glisten to-day upon receiving the news from Florida at the taking away of an intellect so bright and a character so lovely, just as fame and fortune were at his feet in recognition of eminently patriotic service." Compatriot Smith filed his application for membership in this Society on December 7, 1802, by right of lineal de- scent from Major Joseph Lewis Finley, his maternal great- grandfather, who was born in Westmoreland county, Penn- sylvania, February 20, 1753 ; graduated from Princeton College, New Jersey; enlisted in the Revolutionary army AprilG, 1776; was at the battle of Long Island, August 27; in September following, at the battle of White Plains ; in

September, 1777, at the battle of Brandywine : October 4, at the battle of Germantown ; June, 1778, at the battle of Monmouth. From thence he was sent with General Broad- head to Western Pennsylvania against the Indians. He retired from the army in November. 1783. He lost his right eye by reason of sickness caused by severe service and exposure; was badly wounded, and received a pension of $40 per month in his old age. He came to Adams county. Ohio, a few vears after the war, where he owned a farm in the Virginia Military District, and died there Mav 23. 1R39. His paternal great-grandfather, Deacon Tohn Smith, also served in the Revolution, and was a Private in Captain Isaac Farwell's Companv of Colonel Cilley's First New Hampshire Regiment. He was wounded in the neck at 238 the battle of Bennington, by a bullet which was never re- moved. He first enlisted for a single campaign, and on February 22, 1777, re-enlisted for "three years, or the war," continuing in service more than seven years. Another ma- ternal great-grandfather, James Augustine Patterson, also served in the Revolution. Compatriot Smith was elected Corresponding Secretary of this Society for the year 1893-4. His predecessor, on ac- count of ill health which culminated in his death, had left the business of the office in a bad condition; but Compa- triot Smith, with his characteristic energy and insight into such complicated affairs, succeeded in bringing order out of chaos. But the next year, on account of the pressure of his other duties, he positively declined a re-election to the office; for he would undertake nothing to which he could not devote sufficient time to do thoroughly well. The So- ciety, in recognition of his services, made him a life mem- ber.

STEPHEN ATWATER TROWBRIDGE.

The late Stephen Atwater Trowbridge, of Toledo, Sec- retary of the Anthony Wayne Chapter, No. 3, of the Ohio Society, S. A. R., was born in New York, June 8, 1838, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin L. Trowbridge of that city. Grad- uating at Yale College, he returned to New York, where he was the Worshipful Master of Kane Lodge, F. & A. M., and a highly respected member of the Lotus Club and other social organizations. About the year 1863, he re- moved to Peoria, 111., where he was Treasurer of the Peoria, Pekin & Jacksonville Railway. In 1864, he married at Pe- kin, in that state, Miss Frances Sabilla Gill, and in 1880 they moved to Toledo, where he had accepted a position as paymaster of the Toledo & Ohio Central Railway. After assisting in building and extending that road, he formed a partnership with the late D. R. Locke ("Nasby") in the lithographing business, which continued until the death of the latter. For the past few years he has been in the insur- ance business in Toledo. He was a charter member of the

Dranconian, now the Toledo Club ; was fond of the best of literature, and possessed of very attractive social qualities. He was especially interested in our patriotic organization, being Secretary of the Toledo Chapter, and was devoted to genealogical and historical studies. He died suddenly at his residence on the evening of September 3, 1897. His wife and two sons, Edwin Lucius and Nelson Gill, survive him. Mr. Trowbridge was a great-grandson of Stephen At- water, who was a private in Captain Crouch's Company, Bradley's Battalion, Wadsworth's Brigade, Colonel Phil- lips, May, 1776; in battles of Bergen Heights, Paulus Hook, and Fort Washington, where he was taken prisoner. He was a great-grandson of Rutherford Trowbridge, who, at New Haven, Connecticut, manufactured saltpetre for use in the Revolutionary war. Great-great-grandson of Tilley Blakesley, who was First Lieutenant of Captain Bradley's Fifth Company, Second Battalion, Colonel Gays' Regiment, Wadsworth's Brigade; was in the battles of Long Island, etc. Compatriot Trowbridge was admitted to our Society, February 5, 1896.

COLONEL JOSEPH KNOWLES WING.

Joseph Knowles Wing, son of Bani and Lucy (Clary) Wing, was born in Wilmington, Vermont, July 27, 1810, and died at his home at Bloomfield, Trumbull county, Janu- ary 1, 1898. His was the seventh of the generations of his name and lineage that had lived in this country. Together they span the entire period of the material mastery of the continent and the development of our national life. His father fought in the war for Independence, enlisting in 1779 (when seventeen years of age), from Conway, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, in Captain Rice's Com- pany of Colonel Chapin's Regiment. He also served under Colonel Watson in the defense of Hudson River, and was present at the execution of Major Andre. His own length- ened term of life brought with it the somewhat rare distinc- tion of being a living son of a Revolutionary soldier, and on that account he was made a life member of the Ohio So- ciety of the Sons of the American Revolution in 1896. When sixteen years old he left his father's home at Wil- mington to meet such career as there might be for him in

240 ;

the great inland region to the West. The popular move- ment in this direction, which subsequently grew to such vast proportions, was then in its infancy. The days of steam were yet to come, and emigration was accordingly limited to the water courses and the lines of least resistance. The ultimate distribution of population, too, was expected to be along and contiguous to these natural highways of commerce, so that a district, such as the fertile valley of the Mohawk, a river leading from the Hudson to the lakes, was already the seat of numerous and prospering communities, and their attendant opportunities for personal advancement. Here, therefore, to Albany county, New York, he first went, where he remained at Rensselserville, for the five years next preceding his majority, in the employment of merchants of the place. He was active and useful in his business, popu- lar in the community, and rapidly acquired the just confi- dence of all. During this time he was appointed Quarter- master of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of the New York State Infantry, and, for three years, until he resigned to go to Ohio, he served under his commission as such, upon the staff of General De Witt. Upon reaching the age of twenty-one he accepted an ad- vantageous offer to open a general mercantile business at some favorable point in the far West, and, largely influenced by considerations of the kind above indicated, Bloomfield, in the County of Trumbull and State of Ohio, was selected for the purpose. He immediately repaired to New York City to buy his stock of goods, and thereafter proceeded to Ohio to what proved his permanent home. In 1842 he mar- ried Mary, a daughter of Ephraim Brown, the early proprie- tor of the place, and Mary Huntington, his wife. She died

December 15, 1887. Their children were : Mary Hunt- ington, b. August 18, 1843 ; Elizabeth Brown, b. December 30, 1844; Virginia Passavant, b. November 17, 184G

George Clary, b. April 4, 1848 ; Francis Joseph, b. Septem- ber Julia King, b. May 7, 1853 ; Anna Margaret, 14, 1850 ; b. March 7, 1857. Of the seven children, two sons and three daughters survive him. At the outbrealc of the Civil War President Lincoln ap- pointed him to be Assistant Quartermaster with the rank of Captain. He was thereafter successively commissioned Major, and Lieutenant Colonel, by brevet. From the first his duty was with the advanced armies in Tennessee and 241 Mississippi. When General Rosecrans concentrated his army within and around Corinth, he was ordered in charge of the cavalry division of the Quartermaster's department at that point and soon afterwards assigned as Chief Quarter- master of the district. He was in the battle of Corinth of October 2 and 3, 1862, and the desperate hand to hand struggle for the mastery, which marked the turning point of the conflict, was enacted around headquarters where his own tent and station were. The following year General Rosecrans was relieved, but Colonel Wing remained at Corinth on the same duty, at- tached to the staff of General Grenville M. Dodge. In 1864 the post was reduced and the armies of the West, including the Sixteenth Army Corps, withdrawn for the Atlanta campaign. As Chief Quartermaster of this Corps he participated in all its movements until Atlanta was reached and taken. During that great campaign the command marched 500 miles and was engaged in thirteen distinct engagements. It was under fire almost the entire time. In his official re- port, and by letters to Secretary Stanton, General Dodge commended Colonel Wing for his efficiency, and urged his promotion with the brevet rank of Brigadier-General. In November, 1864, he assumed charge of the Quarter- master's Department in the district of Beaufort, North Carolina, where he remained until honorably mustered out at the close of the war. By virtue of his service during the war of the Rebellion, Compatriot Wing was elected a member of the First Class of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, through the Commandery of Ohio, March 3, 1897. His energy, sagacity and public spirit were marked, and constantly exerted to the public good. He was twice chosen by the people of Trumbull county as their represen- tative to the State Legislature, and served as such through both terms, holding a position on several of the most im- portant committees. Otherwise than as above narrated his life was varied by duties or interests that took him from home, from time to time, and amid scenes and situations of more than ordinary moment. His breadth of sympathies and tastes enabled him to derive wholesome enjoyment from these changes, but his family and the accustomed surroundings of home : ;

were the reliance for his chiefest contentment and happi- ness. He was a wide reader, both for his own entertain- ment and instruction; his habit of reflection was commen- surate, and his judgments were ever comprehensive and just.

BANQUET OF THE OHIO SOCIETY, SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Chittenden Hotel Banquet Hall, Columbus, Ohio, January 11, 1898. The banquet was opened with prayer by Dr. A. A. E. Taylor, of Columbus, Chaplain, and at the close of the prayer, Toast-master Tod B. Galoway said

Judge Galloway : I remember when I was in attendance on an occasion similar to this, during the festivities, while the speeches were going on, a young lady who was sitting next to me touched my elbow and said, "Why do they allow that man to keep jumping up and down and keep in- terrupting the speakers so? Every time any one has fin- ished and before any one can speak he immediately pops up and says something." I found out that she was refer- ring to the toast-master. Bearing that in mind I beg to assure you I will endeavor to interrupt as little as possible this evening. What there is for a toast-master to do on an occasion of this sort is very little. In fact, a toast-master is sometimes supposed to be responsible for the toasters, but I am reminded of the consolation that was offered by his little boy to the peddler of toy balloons who was be- wailing the loss of his stock in trade, which had unfortu- nately slipped from his grasp and went sailing away, when he said, "Father, never mind, if you kept them they would have busted, and now they can bust altogether." As far as my duties are concerned it seems to me the prayer of the old Scotch minister comes well in place, when he said, "Oh, Lord, I do not ask Thee to give me wealth only show me where it is and I will do the rest." Now I cannot welcome you to-night because if I started in on that theme I would be jogged on my left by General 243 Wright and if I undertook to respond to that welcome 1 would be jogged by Mr. Richardson on my right, and I cannot grow patriotic because there is a large line of bril- liancy that will shine later on that score. In fact, the only thing left for me to do is to drop an in- troduction in the slot and get a response. We will be pleased at this time to have the address of welcome by the President of the Benjamin Franklin Chap- ter, Compatriot General Wright. General George B. Wright, in making the address of welcome, said:

Brother Compatriots, Ladies and Friends, All. I give you a hearty welcome on this occasion. Late as it is, and delayed as we have been, I trust you will all enjoy this entertainment. It is certainly a great joy and pleasure to me to meet you here once more. You understand this is the regular meeting of the State Society. It is not an occasion for commemorating any great battle of the Revolution or any great officers or sol- diers of the Revolution or any other war, but it is an ap- propriate time and proper for you to think about those things, those men and those times, and, if you chose to speak about them it will be in perfect order. If, for instance, it happens to occur to you that this is pretty near to the date of the battle of New Orleans, you can say something about that, if you please. Nobody ob- jects. Or, if you should think of 120 years ago to-night, you might remember that Washington, with his poor, ragged, hungry, bare-footed soldiers, was camping at Val- ley Forge, and you might say something patriotic about

that ; and, at the same time, just 120 years ago, some young gentlemen here, some gallant man, might tell the ladies how that woman, that Quaker lady of Philadelphia, rode five miles at the dead of night to notify General Washing- ton that General Howe was about to make an attack that night on his army and how that desperate attack resulted. You might say something about that. It would be very appropriate. But this banquet, as you understand, is given under the auspices of the Benjamin Franklin Chapter of this Society, of which I have the honor, the great honor, of being Presi- dent, and I think it very proper—although one of our worthy members thinks that we ought to change the name

244 of our Chapter from Benjamin Franklin to Washington; I don't agree with him at all, because I think of all the men of this country,—that this country has produced, no greater, no better, no more patriotic or more useful man was ever produced in this country than Benjamin Frank- lin. (Applause.) If you will run over in your mind a little of his character and his history you will see how great a man he was. He commenced life in Boston; in 17U6 he was born. At the age of 12 he was apprenticed to the printing mill ; there he stood for five years faithfully, when he had a little contro- versy with his master and he ran away and went to Phila- delphia and started printing on his own hook and was very successful. You may some of you have heard of that almanac that he printed called "Poor Richard," which was one of the most wonderful productions of that age. It was so wonderful that there were four or five editions printed immediately, one after another, and it was translated into several different languages, French and German. It was a wonderful thing. It was in every household. He was elected at one time a Justice of the Peace and a member of the Council and also sent to the Legislature, and he held the office of Post-master in Philadelphia for sixteen years and was at one time Post-master General, and at an early time in his life he was sent to England to represent this country there and he spent six or seven years there, laboring earnestly, faithfully and industriously for this government. He made many friends in England and he was there for the purpose of defeating the tax against the Colonies, and when he found that he could not accom- plish that he returned to Philadelphia in time to become a member of Congress and was associated with the other members of the committee that prepared the Declaration of Independence. He was one of the members of that committee. He participated in the Union of the States in 1778. He was in that convention and labored very earnestly and faithfully and did great service in that connection. As soon as the Congress was organized he was sent as a Com- missioner to France and he spent nine years there labor- ing for this country, and one of the greatest acts of his whole life was the treaty that he made with France to come to the relief of this country, which they did, and sent an

245 —

army and a fleet here which I have no doubt saved this Re- public. It was through his influence that those treaties were made with France. While there he made other treaties, but I will not longer dwell upon the good characteristics of Benjamin Franklin. I hope that you will all study his life and his history, and you young men especially imitate his habits of industry and faithful service to his country. He lived to be 84 years old and some months, dying in April, 1790. The last act of his life, the last clerical act of his life, was to write a petition to Congress to abolish slavery in the United States, as the President, as he was at that time, of the Abolition Society of the United States.

Compatriots and ladies, I thank you for your kind atten- tion, and we shall be happy to hear further from our worthy Toast-master. (Applause.)

Toast-master Galloway: I am sure there is no one in the Ohio Society from whom we would more gladly hear a

response than our Compatriot and Brother, J. M. Richard- son, the President of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. (Applause.) Mr. Toast-master, Ladies and Gentlemen: As I was looking upon this brilliant assembly, I thought of a familiar line of a very familiar poem. I remember a few months ago standing in a room somewhat larger than this. I visited it because it was a place of great interest. It was a carriage repository. It was stored with carriages and other vehicles. For many years it had been a ware-house for a brewery, but the brewer had died. Having lived so long by his beer, he was laid on his bier and carried away and he never came back. (Applause and laughter.) And the beer vanished, as is suggested—that is, the first beer. It was swallowed up in oblivion. But I did not think so much of the carriages or the beer, strange as it may seem (A Voice: Which beer, b-e-e-r or b-i-e-r?)

Mr. Richardson : That room had been honored by the presence of the Duke of Wellington. It was the room where the Duchess of Richmond gave the famous ball be- fore the battle of Waterloo, and that familiar line came to me to-night, and I thought surely Ohio "Has gathered here her beauty and her chivalry." We are inspired somewhat by the military trappings of our friends who have surrounded us this evening. We are 246 inspired also by the artillery of beautiful eyes that confront us. You can not all see them, but I can. (Applause.) I always thought I would like to be a soldier myself, espe- cially on occasions like this. (Laughter.) But I am not a military man. I know of no military movement that the Sons of the Revolution can do or execute to-night as they face this battery that I have mentioned, except to open ranks and present arms. (Laughter.) I am glad to be with you. I am sure the Ohio Society is glad to be entertained here. I am sure the Benjamin Franklin Chapter honors itself and honors us when it pro- vides this splendid entertainment for us. The Sons of the American Revolution is an order of which we may all be proud, and, as your President has very happily remarked, you may be proud here of the Benjamin Franklin Chapter. Your Chapter bears one of the greatest names in the coun- try's history—next to Washington I believe the greatest name of the Revolutionary period—Benjamin Franklin, a man who stands colossal beside his fellows, a many sided man; viewed from whichever standpoint you may view him, he towers above them all. It was said of him that he snatched the thunderbolt from Heaven and the scepter from the hand of tyrants; the in- corruptible patriot, the witty conversationalist, the shrewd and skillful diplomat, the grave philosopher, beloved of the people, honored of kings, lover of liberty, hater of tyrants, all honor to Benjamin Franklin, after whom your Chapter is named. (Applause.) I am glad your President has referred to it to-night. The French Alliance was the turning; point of the Revolution. It brought the declaration of war from Spain and France against England and it diverted that ponderous military and naval armament which would have crushed the life out of the cause of freedom in America. It inspired and crys- tallized a public sentiment in Europe which won us the vic- tory, under the Providence of God. Whatever may be said of the Peace Treaty negotiated bv Franklin and Jav and John Adams, no man at this day and age, no man will now dare to question but that that

That reminds me also of an occasion on which a young lady friend of mine was approached by an Englishman liv- ing out in Colorado on a sheep ranch. He said to her in rather a supercilious tone, "What do you raise in Ohio?" and my friend said, "Chiefly great men." Well, from re- cent events it seems that we raise great men and some very small ones, too. (Applause.) Toast-master Galloway: We, as Ohioans, have a right to be proud of its origin, proud of its past and proud of what will be its future. I take great pleasure in introducing —not introducing but presenting—to you Compatriot Hon. William A. Taylor, who will respond to the toast "Ohio." Colonel W. A. Taylor, in responding to the toast "Ohio," said

Mr. President, Ladies and Compatriots : Ohio is a topic too vast to be disposed of in a brief after dinner speech. Her career too great and glorious to be exhausted even in a volume. Her sons and daughters may well, be proud of her record, which forms an epic, grander than any classic page—prouder than the annals of all preceding em- pires. Her founders came fresh from the fields and fires of the Revolution, imbued with lofty purposes and noble ambi-

tious ; instinct with prophecy, and militant in the religion of humanity. Like tiny rivulets they came coursing through the gaps of the Appalachian range from its northern extremity southward to where its blue peaks smiled to the tepid waters of the gulf stream—a new Trojan pilgrimage, charmed and inspired with the descriptions of daring

' traders and men and women returning from barbarian cap- tivity, of a new world more splendid than Plato's dream of a Paradise that only awaited the pruning hand of civiliza- tion to make it the premier diamond in the matchless crown of the young Republic. As time passed these tiny streams grew into a mighty river of on rushing humanity, before whose influence the foresfs melted away and the log cabin, the farm house, the hamlet the town and then the city, rose like genii respon- sive to the wand of the magician. And what noble and heroic women, and strong patriotic

men they were ! In their religion there were no creeds but humanity and the love of liberty, and in the homes they reared, fidelity, helpful love and filial piety and respect were the guardian Cherubim of the never dying morality with which the foundations of the state were cemented. The herald roll of names that graced the four decades following 1788 would take precedence over the Roster of the Golden Age, or the Blue Book of the foremost king- dom of all time. To name one and not all, would be in- vidious, and to name all would be to declaim a census. What Ohio is to-day she owes to the fathers and mothers, who reared a race of men and taught them to put duty be- fore convenience and write principle in a lexicon where no such word as policy, the polite substitute for diplomacy, chicane and mendacity, was to be found. In 1803 Ohio had a population of 47,000 and stood eighteenth in the order of the Sisterhood of States. In 1840 she stood third in population and all the elements of greatness. In 1890, through the genius of the census taker, Illinois was temporarily given her station, but in 1900, when her original poulation will be multiplied by 100, she proposes to take her place along side the Empire State in all things except money grabbing, and outrank her elder sister in all the finer graces. Not only has she multiplied her population by 100 in less than a century, but her wealth by 250, and annually spends for common school education more than 150 times the total state revenues in 1803. She was born a quarter of a century after the immortal Declaration and rescript of our liberties, but in the Second War of Independence, when a little miss of but 10 summers, she furnished 20,000 heroic soldiers of all arms in the war of 1812, and the hostilities leading immediately thereto—more than one-fifth of all the soldiers of the Union, who made Old Glory's title clear to the New World in that memorable struggle. She sent 5,500 men to hew the way from the Rio Grande to the Halls of the Montezumas, in i84f>, and was ready to multiply that number by 10, had there been a necessity. In the great Civil War, when the Republic passed the final fiery test, she sent her squadrons, numbering 340.000, afield in the forefront of battle, one-seventh of all the armies, one in seven of her population, one-half her sons of the military age, and of these 1 in 14 died as the soldier dies, on the battle field or in the groaning hospital. 250 : : —

Four citizens of the state have been chosen President five Presidents born upon her fruitful soil. In camp and military council she has been nobly represented by the fore- most military chieftains of the century. In the Senate, in Congress, in the Cabinet, on the Bench and in the Depart- ment of State, her statesmen, jurists and diplomats have been second to none. Her sons not only founded this great state, but, leading the march of progress, founded colonies which grew into states from the source of the Mississippi to its junction with the Ohio, and thence west and northwest and southwest, across the trackless, arid plains to and over the Sierras, through the modulated foot hills and broad savannas to the Golden Gate of the Pacific and the threshold of the Occi- dent, until, from a score of mighty Commonwealths they sit in the Nation's councils untutored in sycophancy and in- trigue ; unlearned in the cold indifference of selfishness and chicane, but robust in American manhood, and as frank and open as the sunlight and the wind that ripen and sway the harvests in fields as countless as the stars, and as beau- tiful as they. We may well be proud of the fact that we are the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, and our next proudest boast should be that we are the children of Ohio. After a selection by a quartette, composed of Messrs. Chenoweth, Lauterbach, Davie and Frank, Toast-master Galloway said I regret that our friend, Rev. Parsons, will be unable to be with us to respond to the toast of "Our Society." "The Battle of Cowpens, the beginning of the end." It seems to me that nothing more from the Toast-master is needed than simply the title of that event, and I will leave the treatment of it to our Compatriot, Brother Kibler, of Newark. (Applause.) Mr. Edward Kibler, of Newark, in responding to the toast, "The Battle of Cowpens, the beginning of the end," said I think, Mr. Toast-master, that I have discovered lurking in the phraseology of this toast at least two paradoxes. I imagine that such a pastoral scene as a grazing meadow, a green or grassy plot, would make the highest type of per- fect peace, and it seems to me that a bloody battle would mar the artistic effect. 251 —

When I was assigned this toast I thought of a prayer that had been offered by old Deacon Jones, a deacon in a Bap- tist church in the old famous Welsh Hills around Gran- ville. Since all the stories thus far told have been about preachers or prayers, I think I may be pardoned for men- tioning this. Deacon Jones offered this prayer in all sincerity, believ- ing that he was vouchsafing to the Deity some valuable in- formation. His language perhaps as well as anything illus- trated the pomposity of sesquipedalian bourgeois, and when called upon to open the meeting with prayer, these were his words: "Paradoxical as it may seem, Oh, Lord, we prostrate ourselves before Thee full of emptiness." When this toast was assigned to me and I thought of this occasion, I felt very much like emulating the humility of Deacon Jones and prostrating myself before this audience familiar with Revolutionary history, and confessing my in- ability to either enlighten you or amuse you upon this sub- ject. But, lest some of you may be misled by the name of this battle, I wish to advise you that this interesting event was not in any respect an agricultural affair. Indeed it was in no sense an agricultural affair, because the weapons used were neither pitchforks or milking stools, but the name sig- nifies perhaps the greatest battle of Revolutionary times the greatest certainly in military tactics and I believe the greatest in every respect, because I believe that without that battle as it was fought, we would not be enjoying to- day the liberties which we have. Now the year 1781 opened with nothing but gloom for the American Army. There was scarcely a ray of promise

to encourage the troops. Congress lacked in gratitude, if not in loyalty and patriotism. In mid-winter the armies found themselves without food even or pay or clothing. Treason, which is short lived but does thrive, seemed to thrive in that neriod as it never thrived before. The "British were not satisfied with the ordinary weapons of warafre. but thev used the most despicable weapon that was ever con- ceived by the depravity of man, the weapon of bribery. Why, in the month of January of that year a whole New Jersev Brigade revolted and it was necessarv for Washing- ton to

Lord, that the nostrils of no king sniffs our air." (Ap- plause.) Toast-master Galloway: Men join societies for various reasons, friendship, fellowship, brotherhood and some for benevolent reasons, and I have heard it said, though I doubt it, that some men become joiners for political pur- poses, but I think the statement is false, but there is another class of societies to which noble men and women in this country have given and are giving their allegiance simply from pure love of country. It is for those societies that I will call upon our Compatriot, Dr. Clark M. Galloway, of Xenia, to respond. Dr. C. M. Galloway, in responding to the toast "Patriotic Societies," said Presumably the first known Patriotic Society was founded early in the world's history. It was very select in its membership, being composed of only two people—Adam and his wife Eve. The last recorded meeting of this society ended with a banquet, since become famous in the history of the human race, under the bending boughs of a rare old fruit tree in the Garden of Eden. By means of honied words and fair promises, an individual of unsavory reputation stalked in past the fair doorkeeper, since which time all patriotic so- cieties have subjected to rigid tests the lineal and collateral proofs of their membership. In everv age. in every clime pre-eminent minds have ex- isted. Minds far above the planes of self-interest, who with have infused into the minds of their countrymen the spirit of patriotism, who have maintained unequal conflict against the eve of the seer have pierced the mists of futurity, who the blight of tyranny and oppression in their beloved lands. Of such was Leonidas and his Spartan band of patriots at the pass of Thermopvlse. Of such was Arnold von Wilkenried, the leader of the Swiss patriots who, Catherine to his heart the serried Aus- trian spear-points, cried. "Make way for Liberty." and died. Of such was Oliver Cromwell, who gathered about him his round-head compatriots. l^'d strong and deep th» foun- dations of free thought and civil government in England. Of such was our own beloved Washington, warrior, statesman and patriot, who through the long years of the American Revolution kept alive on liberty's altar the spirit of 76, which a century and a quarter afterward, like the spirit of old John Brown, keeps marching on. Of such were multitudes, in the past, of whom the world was not worthy. Given an aggregation of such spirits, stirred by the noble deeds of noble sires, and we are ushered into the companion- ship of the patriotic societies of to-day—foremost of which is the Sons of the American Revolution. The presence in any community of a patriotic society ele- vates its social and moral status. It keeps fresh in the minds of the youth the sterling traits of character of its rug- ged ancestors, who with faces set sternly against tyranny, civil and religious, left their old homes across the sea and hopefully and joyfully set sail to found new homes in the unknown wilds of the new world. Their exemplary lives, in their humble homes in the wil- derness, their single-handed struggles with poverty, toil and subsequent tyranny, their final glorious victory over ob- stacles that would have palsied feebler hands and appalled less patriotic hearts, are fertile themes for the historian and the poet, and have won the admiration of the world. These are the traits of character we revere and these are ours by privilege—ours who to-night sit down in this banquet hall proudly wearing the insignia of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. On the banks of the River Jordan, by command of that grand old Jewish patriot, Joshua, a monument of twelve large stones was erected. When coming generations in- quired, " What mean ye by these stones?'' this was the answer given : "The waters of Jordan were cut off from before dan * * * and these stones shall be a memorial unto the ark of the covenant of the Lord when it passed over Jor- the children of Israel forever." In the coming centuries when the patriotic deeds of our Revolutionary ancestors shall be dimmed by the lapse of time, or overshadowed by the luster of more recent events, or there shall arise a generation of iconoclasts who shall at- tempt to materialize all things noble, all things good, and all things patriotic that shall have the semblance of antiquity upon them, then shall patriotic societies, such as are here represented to-nisrht, have lasting influence and vernal memory, and shall be a memorial to the children of America forever. Toast-master Galloway: When the boy in the Sunday School was asked by his teacher what miracle Joshua per- formed, he answered that he arrested the sun. Then the teacher asked him what he arrested the sun for, and the boy, being of a bicycle turn of mind, said he supposed he arrested him tor scorching. Now there was another kind of scorcher in the days of '16, that brave son of Pennsylvania, a man who has been termed the Marshal Ney of the American Revolution, Anthony Wayne. In the absence of Colonel Chase, I have prevailed upon our good friend Dr. Taylor to respond to this toast. Dr. A. A. E. Taylor, in responding to the toast "Anthony Wayne," said:

Ladies and Gentlemen : It is an imposition but I will have to stand it. I always like to make extempore speeches because I can wander around where I please and don't have to confine myself to my notes. Just a short time be- fore supper was announced I was requested to respond to this toast and give a brief history in two volumes of the life, doings and sayings of Anthony Wayne. I don't think it is fair, but they think ministers can stand everything and that you can get anything from them. I am going to get the story back on Deacon Kibler and these other deacons. There was a church where they had new hymn-books and there was a deacon in charge of them. He was very deaf. He told the minister to be sure and give the notice about those hymn-books and where they could be gotten and not to forget it. The min- ister said he would. He went on giving his notices and did not make much demonstration about it. The deacon sat down in front holding his hand thus (hand behind his ear) as the minister went on giving his notices. The min- ister said that "On next Sunday if any of you have chil- dren you would like to present for baptism, bring them to the church." The deacon, eager about the hymn-books, jumped up and said, "And if you ain't got any, you can get them at the parsonage for 75 cents apiece; extra strong backs for one dollar." Well, now, when Judge Galloway told me about this. I said I don't know anything about General Anthony Wayne except one thing, he got mad, so they called him Mad Anthony Wayne. I honor a man that gets mad. There is a sympathetic bond between him and me. My wife's

256 family used to get mad, and it comes according to the law of descent. Her father used to get mad and her mother used to get mad. I like to see people mad. I once heard a story of a woman who was walking along the street in a heavy snow and suddenly she sat down on the pavement very hard, and a man came along and said to her, "Oh, madam, are you hurt? Did you fall down?" She said in- dignantly, "No, I just sat down to see if I could find a four- leafed clover." She was mad. It was enough to make anybody mad; and after standing around an hour and a half waiting to get to the table, I don't know but that it ought to make a person mad to be called up suddenly to make a speech, without having your name on the printed programme and the honor of the thing, and then come in as a substitute, not knowing anything about it. General Washington was very mad at the battle of Mon- mouth and he expressed himself in emphatic terms to Gen- eral Lee and Lee had a tendency the same way. I believe Patrick Henry was very mad and he made some unpleasant remarks about a certain George of England, and the way he lived. About the time of the battle of Yorktown our George, our General George—we have very good history for it—got mad. So we have eminent authority for get- ting mad. The great characteristic of General Anthony Wayne was that he got mad. His mother was very high tempered and I understand his father had a little temper, so by the law of heredity this boy was the maddest baby that ever cried in an old-fashioned sugar-trough before the time of mod- ern cradles. I think the locality in which he was born, his birthplace, had something to do with it. You know he was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where they have so many mill races and—falls. He was a fine soldier, just one of these driving soldiers, and he fought at the battle of Stony Brook—I mean Stony Point, up on the Hudson, and he licked those fellows. He got so mad he just went in and won. He just got mad, you know, and went in. And then there was another bat- tle, called the Massacre of Puteoli—no that was Cicero's country seat—Paoli I mean. We are getting mixed. Well, it was Paoli and the Indians had a great massacre. Wayne was mad and went out to see the Indians. The Indians cut up at that time you would have thought it was a ses- ; sion of the Kentucky Legislature electing a Senator 257 (laughter) ; last year I mean. (Laughter.) They behaved so badly he got mad and he just went in, and he didn't lick them at that time, but I understand that he was very much provoked and lost his temper. The next thing we find about him he was out here in Ohio, up here in the northwestern part of the state, at a place called Falling Timbers. He had a battle with the Indians and how he did clean them out. There was some- thing about the expression of his anger when he got mad that made the limbs all fall down and that was the reason they called it Falling Timbers. He got very mad this time. Then after that he had a treaty at Granville. You know there was a lot of Green-vilhan Indians up there that thought they could get ahead of Mad Anthony Wayne and he just got mad and before he got through he treated them pretty roughly. They called it a treaty. Well, he didn't get all he wanted to but he wasn't half as mad as the In- dians were. I can remember the year when this Wayne

Treaty was ; it was in 1798, because that was the year my great-grandfather, who was a soldier of the Revolution, came from Kentucky into this state. He didn't like to fight Indians, so he said he would wait until Mad Anthony cleaned them out. That was about 1796. I remember hearing him tell the story, saying that if Mad Anthony Wayne didn't clean them out pretty soon, he would come over and clean them out himself, but, like a good soldier,

he waited ; so I know it was the year 1798, a hundred years ago. Our country is full of gratitude, so they established a county in this state in his memory in view of the great ser- vices of Mad Anthony. The first county was Washington and the second, which is known on account of the Cincin-

nati Chapter, was Hamilton ; and the third county was Wayne county, and that was the biggest county you ever heard of. It started at the mouth of the Cu)'ahoga River, ran down to the divide and jumped over and came down and took in Zanesville, Newark, Columbus, and then pushed out in Indiana and took in Ft. Wayne and went into Illinois and took in Chicago, up north to the lakes. above Milwaukee, and then came down through the lakes and took in Detroit. Toledo and Sandusky and then came home. That was Wayne county, the biggest county in all :

the region around. It was as big as Rhode Island—oh, a great deal larger than Rhode Island—one of the largest counties that could be found. Now all that is left of this great county is just t his Wayne county, Ohio, where Wooster is, where I lived 20 years, Wayne county, In- diana; Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and I believe a military fort- ress at Detroit is called Ft. Wayne, in Ft. Wayne county, and that is all that is left, a little bit of county up here ten miles square, another in Indiana ten miles square, another in Michigan, and two little fortifications. Now General Wayne didn't know anything about this dividing up, but if he had I think he would have been mad. He would have been awful mad. But I must hurry on. After a number of years he died; he died at Lower San- dusky—that is Fremont up here, I have heard, and was buried there, but his friends I understand took his bones ill a one-horse sulky over the mountains to his native county. He sometimes lost his temper but he was never in a sulky frame before. I don't think he knew about that and I don't believe any of us would care about having that kind of a funeral ; not if we knew it ; and I think if he had known about it he would have been awful mad, because he was in the habit of getting mad, and they called him Mad Anthony. I thought it was time to have some foolishness here and I have told you all I knew and more too about Anthony Wayne. He was a great soldier and one of the greatest Generals and a great diplomat too in his way, and he went in and fought the Indians, fought them like the—Indians themselves and finally the poet wrote about him that his name shall endure "Till moons shall wax and wane no more." (Applause.) After a selection by the quartette, Toast-master Gallo- way said To have a member of the Legislature with us to-night seems like having a brand snatched from the burning. When the storm-center seemed to be located over the Great Southern Hotel I began to be very much worried for fear that Colonel Harper would be spirited away or locked up in his room or something of that sort would hap- pen to him, but I am happy to say he has escaped all those dangers and he is here to respond to a toast that is dear to the heart of the people, "The American Flag," and I know 259 —

of no one that can more eloquently respond to that toast than Bro. John W. Harper, of Cincinnati. (Applause.) Colonel John W. Harper, of Cincinnati, in responding to the toast "The American Flag," said: Ladies and Gentlemen, Compatriots, All: The theme allotted to me is far beyond my ability. It would be difficult indeed to worthily portray the reverence and affec- tion which every true American feels for that symbol of our greatness, and which stands among all civilized nations of the earth and islands of the sea for freedom and liberty an incentive to continue their struggles for self-govern- ment until victory is won, and it is our duty to give them encouragement in every possible manner, remembering that in the darkest hour of the Revolution, when our army was bare-footed and in rags at Valley Forge, France en- tered into a treaty of alliance and commerce with the colo- nies, which gave an impetus to our cause and inspired our brave soldiers to heroic efforts in the unequal struggle at that period. In this mercenary age there are those who are unmindful and forgetful of the great sacrifices and sufferings of our Revolutionary sires, and in heated politi- cal contests or in pursuit of money have used our glorious symbol for selfish purposes. Our American flag is too sacred for such ends and should never be desecrated by political mottoes or business advertisements. It belongs to the whole people and not to any party or to any section of our country, and no name of any person, however con- spicuous he may be, is worthy of being attached to that sacred emblem. There is but one name that could be fit- tingly placed upon it—Washington ; but it is already there in every star and stripe. Washington's name appears in- delibly stamped in beauteous hues. The red, white and blue are the colors of the American flag and should ever remain so. No gold or purple stars, tassels or fringes added through ignorance or pride should be allowed to stain its pristine beauty. It would be doing injustice to our fair compatriots, the Daughters of the American Revolution, if Betsy Ross should not be mentioned on this occasion. She was present at the birth of the American flag, June 14, 1776, and her honored name will ever be in- timately and lovingly associated with that of the name of Washington. Let us go forward in the good work of building up this Society of the American Revolution, and

260 ever mindful of the sufferings, privations and sacrifices of our honored sires, and in remembrance ot them, let us so act that the star spangled banner in triumph may wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Toast-master Galloway: The story is told of that pa- triotic leader, General Greene, during the dark days of the Southern Campaign, that he drove one night into the town of Salisbury, North Carolina, and alighted at a tavern and his friend, Dr. Lee, met him there and asked him if he was alone. Greene replied, "Yes, alone, penniless, hungry, helpless." Mrs. Steele, the wife of the proprietor, heard the General's remark, but made no reply. She placed be- fore him a smoking breakfast and as he was eating his meal she came into the room and closed the door behind her and held out to him a little purse in each hand, containing sil- ver, and she said: "General, take these; you need them and I can do without them." General Greene went to a picture of George III. that was hanging on the wall, which was placed there when Americans were proud to consider George III. as their king, before the Revolution, and turn- ing the picture to the wall, he wrote on the back of it: "George, hide thy face and blush." It was the deeds of such women as Mrs. Steele that formed the crown of glory of the "Heroines of the Ameri- can Revolution." I have great pleasure in presenting to you Compatriot Sherman M. Granger, of Zanesville, who will respond to this toast, "The Heroines of the American Revolution." Mr. Sherman M. Granger, in responding to this toast, said:

Mr. Toast-master, Ladies and Gentlemen : I ap- preciate and feel grateful for the privilege and honor of be- ing with you to-night, and of paying my humble tribute to the Heroines of the Revolution. I am glad of this opportunity of voicing my admiration of that noble band of women, and yet cannot help feeling a regret that a more worthy and abler admirer was not selected to speak to you of them. The Daughters of the American Revolution are not the first instance of lofty-minded women acting together for patriotic purposes. Over a century and a quarter ago, the women of that time, banded together as Daughters of Liberty, as did the men as Sons of Liberty. Those Daugh-

261 ters of Liberty adopted the most effective measures at hand to express their disapprobation and abhorence of the tyranny and injustice of England. They pledged them- selves to drink no tea upon which the Colonies had to pay a tax, for such or any other tax, without representation, was an injustice and iniquitous measure in their estimation. Women at no time have been loth to voice their opinions, nor were they at that time. Let it be remembered, how- ever, that tea was then a universal beverage. It was con- sidered almost a necessity. It was not the accessory of social functions alone, the name for afternoon gatherings, but the daily drink of almost all. They also agreed to wear no more fine linen, no silks and satins and velvets, but to cloth themselves in garments of homespun make only. I appeal to you, ladies, more especially, was this not true heroism? We are told that their Society at Newport, chapter I presume we would call it now, embraced all the beautiful and brilliant young girls of the place, celebrated then as now for possessing many such. These societies spread over all New England and the Colonies. They were the subject of toasts in Virginia. They worked. They did not meet together to talk and tell the men what they should do and how they should act; to demand of the men recog- nition of their worth and merit, but to help and assist them in their efforts for independence by sewing and making homespun clothing for all. I appeal to all, women and men, were they not indeed heroic? The women of that time did not confine themselves to such efforts. They did and dared all that the men dared and did. At the time of the battle of Lexington, a British officer, Captain Whiting, accompanied by Tories, among whom was the Tory brother of Prudence Cummings Wright, were on their way from Canada to the British in Boston, carrying dispatches. The American men were all away, so the women donned their husbands', fathers' or brothers' clothes, armed them- selves, chose Prudence Wright their leader, held the bridge of Pepperell. and captured Captain Whiting and his dis- patches. Her brother, when he saw their leader, fled. Another instance of woman's courage is the deed of Lydia Darrah. When the British army held Philadelphia, Gen- eral Howe's headquarters were in Second street, opposite the home of the Quakers, William and Lydia Darrah. One

262 of the British officers, supposed to be the Adjutant Gen- eral, fixed upon a back room in their house as a suitable place for a private conference. They met and conferred, Lydia listening at the door, thus learning of their plan to attack General Washington's army at White Marsh, two evenings later, expecting to surprise Washington, take him off his guard, and thus capture him and his army. Lydia returned to her room and when the officer knocked at her door to inform her of their departure from her house, re- quired him to knock three times before she answered, and feigned by her voice her difficult awakening from a sound sleep. The next day, on pretense of going to Frankfort for some flour, she obtained a pass from General Howe through the British lines, met and informed an American officer of the contemplated surprise, and returned to her home. This bit of daring and mother's wit of the Quaker- ess saved General Washington and his army. The deeds and exploits of Mrs. Kate Barry, who was present at the memorable victory of the Americans at the battle of the Cowpens, as scout and courier, would consume the even- ing in the telling. Woman's brain and resource saved Put- nam's division after the battle of Long Island. Washington had successfully transferred his army from Brooklyn and Long Island to New York. The next day the British sailed up East River to Harlem, and three men-of-war swept by the American batteries on the Hud- son. The British effected a landing and Putnam was ordered to fall back from the lower part of the island which he was guarding, to Harlem Heights. Not a moment was to be lost, else his retreat would be cut off, and Washing- ton's army be thereby divided. Putnam was anxious and worried. The successful cutting off of his retreat seemed inevitable. He sent to Mrs. Murray, who then occupied Murray Hill, entreating her to delay by any devise possible the movements of Sir Henry Clinton. She was equal to the emergency. Clinton and his staff passed her house. She invited him to stop and with his staff have wine and refreshments. Her ch?rm. vivacitv, courtesy, wit and hos- pitality charmed and detained Sir Henry until she was in- formed by a sign from her negro servant, who had been stationed to keep watch, that Putnam's army was safe. What a tribute to woman's worth was this anpeal of Put- nam. What a proof of it was the result of his appeal and her action. 263 An example of self-sacrificing devotion to the American cause is the story of Rebecca Motte. Fort Motte, on the Congaree River in South Carolina, was in the hands of the British and attacked by the Americans. A large colonial mansion stood in the center of the trench. This was the home of Rebecca Motte. To encompass the surrender of the fort this mansion must be destroyed. This the Ameri- cans were reluctant to do. Lieutenant Colonel Lee com- municated to her how unwilling they were to destroy her property, and the importance of its destruction to the American's cause. Her reply was that she "Was gratified with the opportunity of contributing to the good of the country, and should view the approaching scene with de- light." Not only this, but she proved the truth of her words. The Americans being without missiles with which to fire the house, Mrs. Mottee sent a quiver of arrows to Lee with instructions to use them for setting fire to the roof. As an illustration of the wifely qualities of the women of that time, allow me to tell you of an incident of Abigail Adams. Her husband. John Adams, had been away from her much of the preceding year and was at the time rep- resenting his country in France, with Beniamin Frank- lin. In one of his letters he tells her that his "Venerable colleague enioys a privilege here much to be envied," speaking of the fondness of the brilliant French women for the philosopher, "and that owing to his age they permitted him to embrace them at will, and that they were continu-

ally embracing him." Mrs. Adams replied : "You must console me in your absence with a recital of all your ad- ventures, though methinks. I would not have them simi- lar in all respects to those related of your venerable col- league, whose Mentor-like appearance, age and philosophy must certainlv lead the politico-scientific ladies of France to suppose thev are embracing the trod of wisdom in hu- man form ; but T. who never vet wished an an°-e1 whom I loved a man, shall be full as content if those divine honors are omitted." What a picture of wifelv trust and confi- dence is this. Hanpy the man of to-dav whose wife pos- sesses these qualities. Let me add also, happv the woman whose husband inspires and merits such confidence. The tales of the soul-inspiring deeds, of the valiant and coura- geous doings of the women of Revolutionary times are

264 legion. To my thinking, however, the truest and loftiest heroism is that of the countless women whose lives are never mentioned, whose acts are forgotten. Their lonely vigils when the dear ones were away, their brave-hearted waiting when the beloved ones were in danger, the sus- pense, and not a murmur, all this endured without flinch- ing, alone, without the support of numbers, the encourage- ment of companions, this is where and how those women proved themselves heroines indeed. As they did, so would the women of our country to-day if there were the occa- sion and opportunity. As they were, so are our women of to-day. Let us one and all give all glory, honor and tribute to-night to the women of that time, to the heroines of the Revolution, to the mothers of our country.

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Any person may be eligible to membership in this So- ciety who is a male above the age of twenty-one years, and is lineally descended from an ancestor who assisted in establishing American Independence during the War of the Revolution, either as a military or naval officer, a sol- dier or a sailor, an official in the service of any of the thir- teen original colonies of the United Colonies or States, or of Vermont, a member of a Committee of Correspondence or of Public Safety, etc., or a recognized patriot who ren- dered material service in the cause of American Independ- ence. Blank forms for application for membership will be fur- nished by the Secretary of the Ohio Society, S. A. R., Major Robert M. Davidson, Newark, Ohio. The appli- cations are to be made out in duplicate, or, if the applicant desire membership in a local chapter, in triplicate, and for- warded to the Secretary of the State Society, or to the Sec- retary of the local chapter, as the case may be, together with the entrance fee, which is $5.00. The entrance fee includes dues for the current year, after which the annual dues are $2.00, payable in advance. In the application is set forth the line of descent from and the service rendered by the ancestor through whom eligibility is claimed, together with a memorandum of the authority for the statement of service and an affidavit as to the line of descent, etc. Supplemental application blanks are furnished when it is desired to claim eligibility through more than one ancestor, but no charge is made for filing supplemental applications. :

SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS.

Persons desiring to establish claims to eligibility for membership in this Society are frequently at a loss to know just how to proceed. Family records and the ma- jority of town histories while of the greatest value to those interested in them, are not accepted by the officers of the Society as authority for anything more than the line of de- scent. The military or civil services of an ancestor must invariably be certified to by the proper officials either of the State in whose service the ancestor was, or of the gen- eral government, except in cases where the service can be found in such publications as will hereafter be mentioned. Occassionally original warrants for land granted for mili- tary service, commissions, discharges, muster-rolls, cer- tificates of membership in the Order of the Cincinnati, etc., are available. Such papers, or duly certified copies, are accepted as proof of service. In most instances the family records and traditions set forth the revolutionary services of ancestors, but it is fre- quently found that the family records contain nothing more than the names of ancestors and the intermediate generations. To assist in the work of certifying family records and to aid those who are investigating; to ascertain whether or not their ancestors rendered service for the cause of Independence, the following suggestions are offered PENSIONS.

If the ancestor were supposed to be a pensioner, ad- dress "The Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, Wash- ington, D. C," setting forth the facts or suppositions in the case. He will reply, usually within two or three weeks, and no charge is made for search or certificate. It must be borne in mind, however, that most of the records of pensions granted for the relief of those disabled in service, together with the rosters of soldiers that were on file in the War Department, were destroved by fire in 1800 or burned by the British in 1814. The first laws were passed in 1818, granting- pensions to those who had served not less than nine months in the Continental Line or the Navv. This did not reach the Militia or Minute-men. In 1820, Con- gress restricted this law to those who would prove that 267 :

they were in needy circumstances, as eight thousand men had applied for pensions. The "Alarm Act" of 1820, as it was called, touched the pride of a great number of the pen- sioners to such an extent that they withdrew their names from the rolls. In 1832 an act was passed granting pen- sions to all survivors, providing they had served at least six months, either in the Line or the Militia. Thus those who had served less than six months were not entitled to the benefits of the act. The widows of soldiers who had been married before 1853 were entitled to pensions, and through the papers of the widow on file in the Pension Office, many records can be found.

OFFICERS OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE. If the ancestor were an officer in the Continental Line (the regular army of the Revolution) consult "Heitman's Historical Register of the Officers of the Continental Army," which contains the records of about nine-tenths of the officers of the Line and a few Militia officers.

CIVIL OFFICERS.

If the ancestor were a civil officer, Member of Legis- lature, Congress, State Council, Committees of Safety, Cor- respondence, Inspection, etc., during the War, consult au- thentic histories or address the Secretary of State of the State in which the ancestor resided.

STATE RECORDS.

In some States it is an easy matter to secure official in- formation in regard to services of revolutionary ancestors,

while in other States it is almost impossible to secure in- formation of any description, owing to the failure to prop- erly preserve the records or the loss of records bv fire or other causes. The following is a list of States in which troops or seamen were raised for the prosecution of the war and some directions for securing information concern- ing their records CONNECTICUT.

A very complete list of nearly 28,000 names has been printed by this State. The volume is entitled "Connecti- cut Men in the War of the Revolution," and is to be found in many of the large libraries. DELAWARE.

The records of this State are scant. Address the Sec- retary of State, Dover, Del., who charges two cents per line for copies and $1.00 for certificate.

The Georgia Historical Society, of which William Har- den, Savannah, Ga., is Secretary, owns many books and manuscripts referring to the Revolution. A small fee is charged for search. MAINE.

Copies of records on file may be obtained, at typewriter charges, of the Bureau of Industrial and Labor Statistics, Augusta, Me. MARYLAND.

The Commissioner of the Land Office, Annapolis, Md., will make a search in such records as are available, for 25 cents. Where the name is found a certificate is furnished for 75 cents. The Scharf Library at Johns-Hopkins Uni- versity contains one hundred muster rolls, etc. MASSACHUSETTS.

This State has a magnificent "card system" of index to Revolutionary military service. The Secretary of the Commonwealth, Boston, Mass., charges $1.00 for certifi- cate of service, but makes no charge if name is not found. NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The Secretary of State, Concord, N. H., charees $3.00 for certificate of service, but where name is not found no charge is made for the search. NEW JERSEY. The Adjutant Genpral hapcompilpd and printed thp "New Jptppv Rpffister of Mpn in the Revolution." The book may be found in many of the lar^e libraries. NEW YORK.

Volume I, of the Archives of the State of New York, contains the names of some 40,000 officers and men, and is to be found in our large libraries. NORTH CAROLINA.

All Revolutionary records appear to be lost. A few names of officers may be found in such publications as "Saffell's Records of the Revolution," "Heitman's His- torical Register of Officers of the Continental Army," "Hammersley's Hundred Year Register," etc., which are to be found in many libraries. PENNSYLVANIA.

Hon. William H. Egle, M. D., the venerable historian of Pennsylvania, who is State Librarian at Harrisburg, Pa., makes a charge of $2.00 for search, and in case the name is found, adds a fee of $1.00 for the certificate. The Archives of Pennsylvania, available in many large libra- ries, contain many lists of Revolutionary soldiers. RHODE ISLAND.

The Secretary of State, Providence, R. I., has charge of the Revolutionary records, and makes a charge of $2.00 for search, and in case the name is found, adds a fee of $1.00 for the certificate. SOUTH CAROLINA.

Same as North Carolina. "Gregg's History of the Old Cheraws" also contains the names of a few men from this State.

The Adjutant General, Montpelier.Vt., charges $2.00 for certificate of service, but makes no charge for search where name is not found.

VIRGINIA.

With the exception of the records of land warrants, and a few rosters given in "Saffell's Records of the Revolu- tion," it is a very hard matter to secure information of Revolutionary service in this State. Mr. W. G. Stanard, 270 of Richmond, Va., a professional geneaologist, charges $1.00 for searching such records as are at hand in the Capi- tal; and in cases where he finds the record, he secures the proper certificate for $1.50 extra.

WAR DEPARTMENT RECORDS.

Through the efforts of the Sons of the American Revo- lution, Congress passed a bill some time since providing for the gathering and indexing of all available Revolution- ary records by the War Department. This work has been one of great magnitude, a large force of clerks having been kept at work for many months. The War Records Office in Washington now has a card index which is of inesti- mable value to this nation. A letter addressed to the "Chief of the Record and Pension Office, War Depart- ment, Washington, D. C, ' will always meet with a cour- teous reply. The following extracts from a letter written by Colonel F. C. Ainsworth, U. S. Army, the present Chief of the Record and Pension Office, will show clearly to what extent inquiries should be limited: "The Department is now prepared to answer all rea- sonable inquiries." * * * "Many of the requests that are now being received, however, are based upon such in- definite data, or involve the search of the records for so many different men, that it has been found impracticable to comply with them." * * * "The Department has therefore been compelled to limit its search in the case of any one correspondent to the names of not more than two ancestors, whose full names must be given, as well as the States of which they are supposed to have been residents."

RECORDS IN THE OHIO STATE LIBRARY.

A surprisingly small per cent, of the citizens of Ohio have any comprehension of the inestimable value of the State Library. Its thousands of volumes of National, State, County and Town Histories, Genealogies and Pub- lic Records offer rare inducements to persons searching for the military, civil or family records of their Revolu- tionary or Colonial ancestry. It is respectfully suggested 271 that those who are in search of such information exhaust the resources of the btate Library, if 11 be accessible to them, betore corresponding with the ofricials of Eastern States. Reference to any of the following books in the State Li- brary will be accepted by the officers of the Sons of the American Revolution, without further certificate, as au- thority for service: Archives of the State of New York. Volume I con- tains the names of some 40,000 soldiers from New York State. Archives of Pennsylvania. The two volumes of this immense collection ot Pennsylvania history which contain the lists of the Revolutionary soldiers of the State, have been stolen from the library, but will be replaced upon the completion of another edition, now in hand. Census of Pensioners, 18-10. Connecticut Men in the Revolution. Contains the names and service of nearly 28,000 soldiers from Connecticut. Hammersley's Hundred Year Register of the U. S. Army. Contains names of many officers of the Conti- nental Line. Heitman's Historical Register of the Officers of the Continental Army. Contains the names and service of about 10,000 officers, mostly of the Continental Line, a few names of officers of Militia and Minute-men, and the names and service of many of the French Allies. New Jersey Register of Men in the Revolution. Com- piled by Adjutant General Stryker; a valuable roster of the officers and men of New Jersey who served in the Revolution. Saffell's Records of the Revolutionary War. Contains the names of some 50,000 officers and soldiers of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, etc., arranged by regiment and company, but not indexed. United States Government Public Documents. Com- plete set. In these documents may be found all actions of Congress regarding Revolutionary claims, Pension Roll of 1835 (Volumes 12, 13, and 14, Senate Documents, 23d Congress, First Session), Census of Revolutionary Pen- sioners of 1840, etc., etc. Whiteley's Revolutionary Soldiers of Delaware. A pamphlet, containing roster of Colonel Hall's Regiment, 1780, and several companies. 272 :

COLLECTIONS OF HISTORICAL SOCIETIES.

The various Historical Societies of the country have, during the past hundred years, gathered and preserved in print, a vast amount of history. There is no descendant of the Revolutionary or Colonial families of America who could not extend his knowledge of his ancestors or the localities in which they lived, by searching the Historical Collections in the Ohio State Library. Here may be found a great number of volumes of such collections cov- ering the following States: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, in fact all of the older States are represented and many of the other States of the Union.

With each application for membership recommended by any chapter there shall be forwarded the sum of two dollars, and each chapter shall, on or before the first day of January in each year, send a report of its membership to the Corresponding Secretary of this Society, giving the number of members who have paid the annual dues the preceding year and the names of all delinquent members, and shall send with such report one dollar and twenty- five cents for each member not delinquent, and a failure to send such report or to send the amount of such dues before or at the annual meeting of this Society shall be cause for a revocation of the warrant by this Society at its annual meeting. This article shall not be deemed to deprive any chapter already organized of its jurisdiction over any part of its territory, but such chapter shall in other respects be governed by the provisions of this article.
