Pioneers - Shugars, Woods, Mikels
...It is often the little occurrences in life which mark our destiny more than the great things. When Henry Shugars, Sr., left his home in Wayne county, Ohio, in 1840, it was his intention to go to Steuben or Dekalb county, Indiana. While in Lima, Ohio, he met Samuel Ricks a bachelor who had entered some land in Benton township, which afterward became the Eugene Socie farm situated in section 17, south-west of Payne on the creek road. Mr. Ricks, Henry Shugars and Daniel Malott came through the wilderness together from Lima, along the Ridge road, which was then an Indian trail. After looking the land over Mr. Shugars decided to enter 80 acres and Daniel Malott 120 acres, at $1.25 per acre. Mr. Shugars returned to his home in Wayne county, but Mr. Mallott remained and built a cabin on each piece of land. Two years later in the spring of 1842, Mr. Shugars returned with his family and took up a permanent residence in the new country. Their only trading point at that time was Ft. Wayne and this meant a two days journey at least, and perhaps more. The first crop for new settlers was generally corn. Mr. Shugars raised a crop of wheat the third or fourth year. It was some years later before there was any market for timber products. About the first market was for black ash flat-hoops for which there was a market in New Haven and later in Monroeville and Van Wert. After coming to this county the parents of Mrs. Shugars died in Wayne county. The administrator adopted a novel method of sending Mrs. Shugars her annual income by cutting a bill in two pieces and sending them in letters at differnet times and then pasted together. No money was lost the family assures us.
...The first school which the Shugar children attended was in a log school house situated in the Kilpatrick grove southwest of Payne, just inside of the present gate. Here Harrison Kilpatrick, Asa Dillon and Charles Cuningham, afterwards a physician, tught the children of the Kilpatrick's, Stabler's, Henry's, Yearlin's, Snyder's and Lothammer's. on one occasion Mr. Kilpatrick taugh Frank Shugars alone.
...Henry Shugars, Sr. was born in Berks county, Pa., March 14, 1814, the son of Michael and Barbara (Gruber) Shugars both of whom died in Wayne county, Ohio. His wife Elizabeth (Howman) Shugars was born in Stark county, Ohio, April 28, 1818. Her parents were Frederick and Elizabeth (Rishler) howman, both of whom died in Wayne county, Ohio. They were married in Wayne county, Ohio, in September 1835. To this union was born Barbara, Oct. 17, 1839, William, Nov. 11, 1842, and died in the service of his country June 1865, at Washington, D.C., of measles and was buried there. Mary C. was born April 23, 1845, Franklin, Aug. 3, 1849, Henry J., Feb. 15, 1852. Mrs. Shugars died March 28, 1866. Mr. Shugars died March 8, 1891. The later years of his life was spent in the home of his son Henry who lived in the original homestead. The passing of these pioneers left only memories of their sterling character, ambition and energy in advancing teh interest of the community. They were of the Lutheran faith, and used to attended services held in the second story of the Snellenberger hewed log house. The history of the Shurgar's children will follow this article.
