Notes:

MEMORIES: by Jon W. Hormell
The old farmhouse had gas lights, a crank telephone and a tin roof with no insulation. During the hot summer months a summer porch provided a welcome relief for the young boys while sleeping; it was cooler than the upstairs bedroom.

NOTE: The Caesar's Creek valley was impounded in 1978 by the Army Corps of Engineers to assist with flood control in the Little Miami River watershed. The Hormell farm was in the path of the newly formed lake.

HISEY REUNION
Thursday, August 19, 1909 was the day set for the annual reunion of the Hisey families. It seemed as though all nature smiled down on us; it was an ideal morning for occasions of this kind, and a goodly number of the connections of this grand old family took advantage of the beautiful morning, and early began to gather at the old homestead, where the first of the Hisey family in this community settled. Joseph W. Hisey and wife now occupy this place.
Over one hundred years ago the first family of Hiseys came and settled on this farm, two and one-half miles south of Waynesville. Twenty years ago this fall this family held their first reunion and each year since they have met. Each year we have one or more deaths to record, and each year we greet some that have not come before.
Sarah A. Hamilton is the oldest representative of the family, her mother being Jemima Hisey Ridge. Early this pleasant morning the buggies, carriages and automobiles began driving in from all different directions. As each one came they were met by Joseph Hisey and wife and given a welcome that made each heart glad.

Notes:

Jacob Hisey was reared to manhood and married in Virginia, where he resided till the fall of 1818, when he, with his family, emigrated to Ohio and located in Warren County, in Wayne Township, and opened out right in the woods, living a true pioneer life, enduring all the hardships and deprivations of those early days. Mr. Hisey was a blacksmith, which trade he followed through life, employing others to do the work on the farm. He first settled on 60 acres of land, and from time to time added more to it by purchase till he became owner of 400 acres of good land; here he resided till his death. Mr. Hisey was a very industrious, economical man; one who started in life a poor man, but by his own labor and good management, became quite wealthy. They were parents of fourteen children, nine now survive--Jemima, now Widow Ridge; Hannah, now Mrs. Gard; Amelia, now Mrs. Carr; Rhoda, now Widow Harlan; Emiline, now Mrs. Harmell; Maria, now Widow Banes; Mary Jane, now Widow Terry; Christian and John.

Jacob Hisey was a son of Christian Hisey, a native of Germany, who settled in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., in a early day. Jacob Hisey was born and grew to manhood there, and there married Emiline (Amelia?) Williamson. In the year 1816, he moved with his family to Ohio and settled in East Wayne Township, Warren County, where he purchased a small tract of land, which he cultivated in connection with working in and carrying on a blacksmith shop for many years. He raised a large family of children, and lived to see all those who survive well settled in life. By the industry and frugality of himself and wife, besides raising his family he acquired a considerable amount of property. He was for many years a member of the Free-Will Baptist Church, and was a worthy and exemplary member, and contributed liberally for the support of the church of his choice. In October, 1854, his wife, the partner of his younger and advanced years, departed this life. He was again married, and at his death left a widow. He departed this life May 6, 1870, age 84 years, at peace with all mankind, and in full hope of a blissful immortality--the noblest work of God, an honest man.

History / Bio:

Rev. John Hisey, farmer and minister; P. O. Waynesville; is a son of Jacob Hisey, who was a son of Christian Hisey, a native of Germany, who settled in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., in an early day. Jacob Hisey was born and grew to manhood there, and there married Emiline Williamson. In the year 1816, he moved with his family to Ohio and settled in East Wayne Township, Warren County, where he purchased a small tract of land, which he cultivated in connection with working in and carrying on a blacksmith shop for many years. He raised a large family of children, and lived to see all those who survive well settled in life. By the industry and frugality of himself and wife, besides raising his family he acquired a considerable amount of property. He was for many years a member of the Free-Will Baptist Church, and was a worthy and exemplary member, and contributed liberally for the support of the church of his choice. In October, 1854, his wife, the partner, of his younger and advanced years, departed this life. He was again married, and at his death left a widow. He departed this life May 6, 1870, aged 84 years, at peace with all mankind, and in full hope of a blissful immortality--the noblest work of God, and honest man.
