BREMEN

GERMAN-AMERICANS SETTLED THE AREA AROUND 1880.

It wasn't located in the right place and didn't have a name. Finally the name came-Bremen-from the Old World.

The village never boasted a railrod depot in town or have a river at its door or even a hard surface road. It did have a flour and grist mill,a college and some bright,energetic, hard working German-AMericans who propelled it into the 20th. century by human force. It worked and is still working well.

The first settlement in what was later to be called Bremen, was located on the present KY 181, near the McLean County line. Some of the pioneers who settled there between 1795 to 1812 included John WHITMER,Lot STROUD,Jacob NOFFSINGER, Daniel and Dr. John NOFFSINGER, Susan H. STONER,Jacob KITTINGER,John GOSSETT,Mary NOFFSINGER,Christian GISH,Jacob GARST,Reverend Samuel DANNER and Benjamin COFFMAN.

On February 9,1832, a post office was established in the settle­ ment and called Bremen in honor of the first postmaster's (Pete SHAVER) father's home city, Bremen,Germany. The post office was located in a residence near the county line.

On March 10,1857, Benjamin F. ARNOLD became postmaster. Then around 1860,the post office was moved about a mile and a half south to Andrew BENNETT'S store and blacksmith shop. It was first called Bennettsville but later the name changed to match that of the post office.

In the early days Bremen was sometimes called the "Dutch Settle­ ment." That probably came about as a result of the proud German­ Americans who settled there and when asked where their decentants came from, answered "from Deutschland"(Germany). Some mistook it to mean "Dutch Land," thence "The Dutch Settlement."

On February 12,1861, John W. MOREHEAD became the postmaster. Then on August 27,1861, B.F. ARNOLD took on that job. Again in that same year, October 3,1861, Thomas MARTIN was installed • as postmaster. JAN FEB MAR 1995 "THE HERITAGE" VOL. 1 7 NO. 1 PAGE 3 *************************************************************

On January 24,1866, Jesse S. HILL became postmaster. Near the end of the year, on November 9,1866, David W. GRUNDY became the seventh postmaster of the village.

In 1869,the town was incorporated and listed a population of approximately 75. There were two stores,two tobacco factories and a blacksmith shop in Bremen at the time.

On January 12,1870, Richard D. SIMMONS was appointed postmaster, then later that same year,on September 19,1870, David GRUNDY again became the village postmaster. About a year later on Sept. 14,1871, John E. RHOADES took over the job as postmaster. On July 1,1872, Richard B.SUMMERS inherited the job as postmaster. During the same year,on November 14,1872, the job changed hands again und James N.CALHOUN was installed as the Bremen postmaster.

On April 21,1876, John Henry FROST took on the postmaster's job. Then on November 27,1876, storekeeper Andrew BENNETT became the fourteeth postmaster of Bremen. On June 28,1881, Joseph A. SHAVER took office of postmaster and on March 19,1886,E.R. RUST was selected postmaster. On February 12,1889,Joseph C. SHAVER took on the postmaster's job.

On September 9,1889, The Bremen College and Perryman Male and Female Academy was opened, with Milton T. BROWN as president.

The first trustees were Joseph SHAVER,John HUMPHREY, Peter SHAVER the Reverend John PERRYMAN and Joseph WHITMER.

The object of the school was to offer a preparatory course to those intending to enter the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church and to offer general education courses to others.

What was known as the college building later became a public school. However, the school buildings (Bremen grade and high school) used today are in a different location.

On November 20,1893, Jesse MILLARD became the nineteenth post­ master. A year later on December 10,1894, Clarence WOODBURN became the postmaster. Four years later, on Decmeber 12,1898, William M. LEWIS was appointed postmaster. Then William J. STIRSMAN became postmaster on August 29,1907.

Beginning in 1908, the Madisonville,Hartford & Eastern (MH&E) Railroad was being constructed through the Bremen area. The job of clearing the right-of-way and laying the dirt roadbed was laboriously accomplished with mules,slip scrapers and shovels. One of those help build the Bremen-Mogg section of the line was Tom SIMMONS,100,of Drakesboro.

The contractors for the portion of the railroad was Lewis and Zollie KIRKPATRICK of Greenville and Penrod. The job was completed in 1910. PAGE 6 "THE HERITAGE" VOL. 1 7 NO. 1 JAN FEB MAR 1995 *************************************************************

ORIGINAL MUHLENBERG SETTLERS

The following article appeared in the Nov. 11,1971 issue of the Times-Argus.

Editor's Note-- The following article is part of Chapter XI of "Two Centuries of Brothervalley" by the Rev. H. Austin COOPER. It concerns the migration to Muhlenberg County from Pennsylvania of members of the Church of the Brethren,commonly called the Dunkers. The migration was headed by Capt. Henry ROTH,Jr., who changed his name to RHOADS. He became Muhlenberg's first representative in the Kentucky General Assembly and named this county for Gen John Peter Gabriel MUHLENBERG, his commanding general in the Revolutionary War.

The Kentucky Migration: 1785

The terrible winter of 1784-85 all but depleted the hopes of the frontiersmen who had faith in the crops of the spring and summer. The snows began early in October and continued almost without letup until after Easter. This is not uncommon to the area as the storms both in summer and winter come quickly and violently and often last for long periods without diminshing in force and fury. The altitude and the formation of the mountains to the west and east cause the storms to funnel into this area. As related to the former section on Brothers Valley, the area is like an inverted saucer or dish lifted up above the surrounding countryside. Thus the storms beat heavily upon the land and temperature drops quickly and holds on for many weeks sometimes without varying much either way. On Easter Monday when the sun shined warmly, the snow measured 85 inches on the level. This was one of the contributing factors for so many people leaving the area. However, this was only one.

Perhaps the other factors that induced the settlers to seek more pleasant settlement in the southern wilderness were the stories of some of their relatives such as Capt. Henry ROTH Jr. and Phillip ASWALD who had traveled extensively in the Ky country. They came back with glowing tales about the rich and fertile grasslands of the "blue grass region." At that early time most of the land was unsettled and there seemed to be room for all to settle in a more temperate climate. No doubt, the determing factor for their departure from Bruedersthal in the summer of 1785 was the dual fact that the State of Virginia offered free land to her soldiers who fought in the Revolution.

Many of the young men who had joined the Brothers Valley Militia and followed General George WASHINGTON throughout his campaigns against the British, recieved large land grants in then what was called "Western . Virginia", which was the Kentucky County. JAN FEB MAR 1995 "THE HERITAGE" VOL. 1 7 NO. 1 PAGE 7 *************************************************************

Capt. Henry ROTH,Jr. led more then 100 to Kentucky from Penn­ sylvanis, Marland,Virginia and what is now West Virginia. Several from New Jersey joined the band at New MArket,VA. in the early part of the summer of 1785 and prceeded to the new "promised land."

For the most part the people in the party were listed as heads of families. To be sure,there were many children in the group. It seems that they went by way of Wichester,VA. and tere met a group from Maryland, especially from Washington and Fredrick counties. It is know that at least a dozen from the Pipe Creek country, in what is know Carroll County, met them at Winchester and accompanied them to New MArket,VA. Here they rested for several weeks before going on to the Roanoke Settlement where many others met the band and proceeded on their way.

The other reason for so many going along with the small band of leaders who recieved "military grants" were those who were termed later in Kentucky as "squatters" on the land. These people had the approval of these who recieved the grants. They were the workers and the tillers of the soil for these large landholders. Many of them later bought tracts for their homes and seettled permanently in Kentucky. About 1800 there was another movement from Kentucky across the Ohio River into Ohio, Indiana,Illinois,Missouri and into the Black Hawk country of Iowa. Now for the heads of families in Captain Henry's band:

It seems evident that this company must have numbered well over 100 in number. The reader can see that for most part only family heads are listed. This list has come about through research across 12 years and we have listed names from many sources where it had been gleamed that these people came along with Capt. ROTH to Kentucky. However, it must be said that the first 48 names were given this author by Mrs. ~.H.NEWMEYER, of Pittsburg, Pa. on Aug.23,1952, the day before the celebration at Brotherton,Pa. of the 190th. anniversary of the founding of the congregation.

First Central City School was known as Gallilee School

In the earliest days when Central City was still known as Stroud City,the school building was located at a point or near where the Gulf Refining Co. now stands. The street north was then A known as Main Street and led to the Galena Mine. It was sometimes W called the Gallilee School. The building was two stories high, with the primary grades on the first floor and the upper grades on the second. Some of the earlier teachers were Mr. GRUNDY,Mary HELSLEY,Ollie ELSON,Annie MCCAULEY,Mr.LANDRUM,Mr.BENNETT,and Catherine MILLER. The students sat on long benches and the school hours were from 8 until 4 p.m.

The second school was located on the same site but was one story high with two rooms. Prof.WILLIAMS and his daughter Miss Lizzie WILLIAMS,were the teachers.

The North Central School was on North Second Street and was built about 1908. The last school was held there in 1926.One of the teachers was Mrs. Lula BOYER. When the building was torn down,the lumber was used for the Pilgrim Holiness Church on North Third Street.

An earlier school on the site of the grade school had two small rooms and one large room. The seventh and eighth grades were in the large room. Profs.SPENCER and SCHULTZ and Mrs. Mary HENDRIX taught at this school.

In 1903 a new re-organization plan was drawn up. The old school district 33 was changed to dist.81. Trustees elected were M.T. CAIN,Joe ARMSTRONG,Ed FROST,C.W. JOINES,Geo.SMITH and C.W. MOULDEN.

Other teachers mentioned were R.O.PACE,Lula RICHARDSON,E.W. GIBSON and Ida HENDRICKS. JAN FEB MAR 1995 11 THE HERITAGE" VOL. 1 7 NO. 1 PAGE 13 *************************************************************

William HENRY and Some of His Descendants

Compiled by C.David HENRY (gr.gr.grandson), 3013 Stanford Dr. Lexington,KY 40517. Many of the early records were copied by the author directly from offical records on file at the Mason Co. Genealogical Soc. and County Court Clerk's office in May­ field,KY., and from Bracken Co.Court Clerk's office in Brooks­ ville,KY. Credit should be given for much of the HENRY family research to Miss Irene E.CRAIG of Temple City,CA and to Mrs. Fay Carol CRIDER of Marion,KY.,and others. The author has source documentation with his files,and reference notes,etc. may be seen included with HENRY family history records which he is sending to the Harbin Mem.Library,Greenville,KY and to the Central City Public Library,Central City,KY. The author does not claim that this history is complete,nor free of errors. Many persons,family group records,events and dates have been omitted because there was no information known to the author, or insufficient information known to them. Some may have simply been overlooked. The author hopes that relatives and others will contact him and/or The Muhlenberg Co.Genealogical Soc.to fill in the gaps,add data, and correct any errors.

Family tradition says that Wm.HENRY was born in Ireland. His parents are not known. It is said that he was Catholic,that as a young man,he was studing for the priesthood,married,pro bably was excommunicated,was disowned by his family,and left for America. His date of birth is not known,but the 1850 U.S. Census of Bracken Co.KY lists his age as 58, which would make him born about 1792. His wife's name is uncertain, but this researcher believes she was Teressa SULLIVAN,born pro.in Ire­ land,daughter of William SULLIVAN and??.

The date of this couple's emigration to the U.S. is not known. The point of entry into the U.S. is not known. Futher research could probably reveal these facts. There is some indication that he might have settled in Southern Ohio,before moving to adjoining Bracken Co.,KY about 1847. He died intestate about 1858,apparently in Bracken Co.,KY,although the place of death is uncertain. A Terry C. HENRY,daughter of Wm.SULLIVAN of Madison CO.,KY,died 13 OCT 1854 in Bracken Co.,KY.

Bracken Co.,Ky court records list the following heirs ofWm.HENRY James HENRY and Samuel HENRY of Muhlenberg Co.,KY,and Mary E. MITCHELL,Amanda H.APPLEGATE,Narcissa HENRY (later SMITH),and Elizabeth APPLEGATE,all of Bracken Co.,KY. (Evidently the two brothers moved to Muhlenberg Co,and their sisters,if they are their sisters,remained in Bracken Co.,KY.

CORRECTION ! !

In Vol.2,No.16 page 48 Anne McClellan WILLIAMS,360 Dixie Manor, Harrodsburg,Ky 40330. Placed the following query: The 1870 census of Muhlenberg Co.,Ky.lists the members of the Andrew MCCLELLAN hh as Andrew 57,Unity 12,Geo.10,Grant 4, and Malinda 3. Heirs named in Andrew's 1881 will are daughters Unity F., Malinda Z., and sons Calvin,Geo.M.,and Ulysses. The 1880 census lists Andrew 65,Malinda 14,in one hh; G.B.MCCLELLAN 20 in hh of Calvin 'MCALLEN' as a brother; Grant 15,is listed as brother living in hh of Lois MCCLELLAN 22. On the microfilm "Lois" could be read Lou or Lon. I have been told that Unity MCCLELLAN m. William Hallock VICK and the 1900 census lists his wife as Francis b.1858. Leiu VICK 1858-1935 is buried in Carter Creek Cemetery. It would seem that Unity F. is the same as Lois/Lou/ Lon MCCLELLAN/VICK. Is there anyone who can confirm this conclusion? I can find no futher mention of Malinda Z.daughter of Andrew. By the census she was b.circa 1866. In 1855 John BIVIN m. Jennie MCCLELLAN. This couple is buried in Joines Chapel Cemetery and Jennie's b. is 1866. I have been unable to find any record of Jennie before her marriage to BIVIN.Is it possible that Malinda and Jennie MCCLELLAN are one and the same?

CORRECTION: The marriage date was written 1855 (eleven years before the bride was born) which made it a little confusing. Not sure whether the typo was my fault or yours but would appreciate your reprinting this part. I got the confirmation I needed about the subject of the first part of the original query, Unity MCCLELLAN. Thanks. Please contact Anne MCCLELLAN WILLIAMS,360 Dixie Manor, Harrodsburg,Ky. 40330.
