Mrs. Sarah Sollers...Town's Oldest Active Resident
Casstown Woman, 90, Insists On Keeping House For Son
Casstown—Mrs. Sarah Sollers has staked her claim as Casstown's oldest active resident and there's none to dispute her.
"Aunt Salle" willl be 91 years old Oct. 14. She's no Casstown's oldest reident, however, Mrs. Sally Knight tops her by a year She'll be 92 in September.
But "Aunt Sally" is ill and not able to get around like her "young" friend. The pair have been friends since girlhood.
Aunt Salie (pronounced Saily) keeps house here for her son Oscar Earhart and does all the chores connected with it despite her advance years.
She says she's in good health "Can't complain at all," she avers, but admits "I get a little lazy once in a while."
By lazy, Aunt Salie means that after doing the housework and cooking she might lie down on the couch for a short nap.
There's one thing she is a bit sheepish about.
That's when she runs the lawn mower and does a bit of garder spading—two occupations that her son forbids.
"I know I dadn't ought to, but it kinda keeps me going," she explains.
One of Aunt Salie's favorite dishes is cherry pi.
But when you ask about the recipe, she insists it's just a matter of opening up a can of cherries and making it.
She's a native of Indiana, but has spent all but the first few years of her life right here. In ____ has lived in three different houses on her street, all within the same block.
Her son is her only child. She has four granddaughters and two great grandchildren, all living in Troy. | Earhart, Sarah (I6640)

My great grandfather, James Riggs, built this big brick home on the Ohio River 7 miles south of Gallipolis in about 1836. He had come to Ohio as a very young child from Washington D.C. where he was born in 1797. He and his parents came west over the mountains with a single horse. For the journey he was placed in one end of a large bag thrown across the horse's back which was balanced on the other side by a wooly-headed little negro girl named Sally. His mother rode upon the horse with his older brother, Bazel Wesley, and his father trudged along on foot carrying his gun.
James Riggs married Mary Bare in 1820 in Washington County, and in 1832 they moved to Gallia County,. They were the first owners of this farm. Here they reared their family of 11 children.
James and Mary, in their first years in Gallia County, were instrumental in forming the first Ohio Conference of Methodist Churches. He gave land to the church from one corner of his farm for the location of Clay Chapel Church and for the cemetery which is the final resting place for most members of this old family who owned this farm for 130 years. The church was dismantled about 1955. James Riggs also provided the land for a parsonage which was built in 1860 about a half mile south of Clay Chapel Cemetery.
My grandfather, Jacob Riggs, born in 1824, son of James, married Elizabeth Guthrie in 1848. They reared a family of 8 children in this same house. Jacob and Elizabeth Riggs and Their children carried on two more generations of devotion and service to Clay Chapel Church.
The northeast corner of the farm was known as Riggs Landing and here they loaded flat boats with any produce and livestock that were ready for marketing. Jacob would accompany these goods to their destinations, often as far south as New Orleans.
My father, Earnest Jacob Riggs, was the youngest child of Jacob and Elizabeth. He was born in this house in 1873 and died in it at the age of 86. His farming operations included a dairy and orchards. He propagated the apply variety which he named the Gallia Beauty.
Earnest's first marriage was to Alyce Stoner in 1898. She died in 1907. Lowell Edward is their son. In 1917 Ernest married Naomi Haber and I am the oldest of their 3 children. My brother is Ernest Jacob Riggs Jr. and Rose Elizabeth Riggs Bliss, my sister.
The family farm has changed ownership 3 times in more recent years and most unfortunately the big brick home was badly damaged, if not destroyed, by fire in 1979.
The present generation of Riggs children live in scattered areas of the States now, but we still regard "Riverside Farm" with much love and affection and no matter where we live, it will always be "home" to each of us. Submitted by Betty Jean Riggs Lowthian. [Reference: "Gallia County, Ohio People in History to 1980". Gallia County, Historical Society, Taylor Publishing County, Paoli, Pennsylvania, 1980, pg. 285]
The following is another version of the same family story....
Came from Hagerstown, Md. to Buckhill Bottom, Monroe County, Ohio, then to Hannibal, Monroe County, Ohio...then to Gallia County, Ohio in 1828 when son Jacob was 4 years old. Jacob rode in one side of saddle bag and a colored boy, Tom, rode in the other side of saddle bag. The colored boy, Tom, and his mother were brought to Gallia County, Ohio at this time and there was a house on the Riggs farm called Tom's house where Tom lived and died. Tom never married as there were no other colored people in the community at that time. | Riggs, James (I6817)

OBITUARY
TWO PIONEERS
Answer the Final Roll Call and Pass to the Great Beyond
...The number of the original settlers of Paulding county that are left among the living are becoming very few. This week two of the real pioneers have answered the final roll call and passed to the great beyond.
...Mrs. Mary Leeth, widow of the late Darius Leeth, who were early settlers in Harrison township and William R. Crawford, who located in Jackson township in 1859. The present day generation of folks can hardly picture in their minds the conditions which confronted these first settlers in a new country Miles of forests stretching in every direction; neighbors few and far between; no roads except those blazed through the trackless woods by their own hands. The loneliness of such circumstances would quail any but the bravest hearts. But by courage they over come all these obstacles and in faith they succeeded in establishing homes and rearing families. All honor and praise is due their memories. | Wren, Mary Ann (I135)

They lived in Hocking county until October 1876, and then settled in Harrison Township, Section 23, on the farm now owned by Abraham Mathias. They traded a Hocking county farm for this land 160 acres at about $10 per acre. The farm was cleared by the family and is still owned by Abraham and William Mathias except 40 acres which was sold to Peter Malcuit. On May 1, 1877, Levi Mathias died and was buried in the Snellenberger graveyard. Mrs Mathias remained on the farm until June 17, 1882, when she became the wife of Hiram Northrup and moved to the Northrup homestead in Benton Township, Section 22, 1-1/2 miles east of Payne. Hiram Northrup died April 10, 1908 and was buried by the side of his first wife in Snellenberger graveyard. The widow remained on the farm for a few months when she went to the home of her daughter Mrs. Stella Underwood who owns the Barnes homestead east of Payne on the Paulding road.

Pioneers - Northrup and Mathias Families
....Very early in the forties John and Sarah (Honon) Northrup came into Paulding County and settled on the Maumee River near Cecil. However in 1842, Mr. Northrup moved on part of which constitutes the southwest section of Payne. The cabin was built back of where now stands the home owned by Miss Nell Bradley across the run on South Main Street. In making the move it was necessary to make two trips. On the first trip Hiram, a lad of twelve, was left in charge of the cabin and its contents. While the father was gone Indians visited the cabin and not only terribly scared the poor boy, took away with them all the food left for the hungry boy. No doubt he was thankful they left him and his scalp.
...The experience as related by him was very tragic for so young a boy. The father intended returning the same day to the cabin where Hiram was left, but before he could get back the ice thawed on the Maumee river and it was seven days before he was able to return to the lonely boy. In the meantime the Indians had paid the boy a visit asking for corn. They left, but soon afterward returned bringing a strip of bark. One of them pointed to his own neck then to Hiram's then to his own neck, then to a rafter. Hiram understood that they meant to hang him. In Indian language he told them the "Mokey Man" would be along by and by, meaning his father. They replied "you lie, you nothing but a papoose," and began to close in on him. The brave boy grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger, but as there was tow sticking on the cap it did not discharge, but it was sufficient to send them on the run. Hiram then barricaded the windows and door by piles of wood and bored holes through the casing to shoot through. He made his bed and went to sleep with gun and knife for companions. The nearest neighbor was Theodore Merchant near the bridge northeast of town. It was a week later when the father rescued the boy from his prison.
...John Northrup soon became a leader among the pioneers for the organization and advancement of this part of the county. The first election was held in his house in 1843 of which we will give a history later. The family were members of the United Bretheren church. Mr. Northrup was so intensely religious that at times it bordered on fanatacism; but the real motive and principle of this pioneer was never doubted.
...John and Sarah (Horton) Northup had four children. Hiram the eldest was born in New York, March 18, 1827. On April 1850 Hiram was married by John Fisher, Esq., to Victoria Shelley who was born in France, March 20, 1832, daughter of Francis and Mary J. Shelley. To this union was born Andrew Jackson, May 17, 1851, who chose for his wife Nettie Grooms. After her death he married Julia Shoeble. The second wife died near Stroh, Indiana, where he married again.
...Francis was the second son of Hiram and Victoria Northup. He was born April 2, 1853 and died Feb. 10, 1873. William Henry the third son was born March 12, 1858. He married Nora Singer and lives east of Payne.
...Charles E. the fourth son was born Feb. 13, 1870, and never married. The mother of these sons died April 23, 1879. Hiram Northrup on June 15, 1882 was united in marriage to Mrs. Jane Mathias who is still living with her daughter Mrs. Stella Underwood. Nr. Northrup died April 10, 1908.
...William was the second son of John and Sarah Northup and was born in New york. He married Rebecca Stabler to whom was born one son John, who with his giant stature has been for years a familiar figure on our streets. Lewis the third son never married. The history of Sarah the only daughter and last one living of John Northup's family was given with the Snellenbarger family. (Source: Florence N.

Newspaper Article
When Eugene Mitchener and Walter Hormell sold shoes in the Neck as Mitchener & Hormell they carried bicycles as a sideline. It was the era of bicycle racing and the starting tape for the endurance run to Little Washington was right in front of their store. I have watched the starts from my father's office window across the street. Bob West, son of Frank West, the cooper, was my cycling hero.
It has taken me many years to learn that Gene Mitchener and Walter Hormell were brothers-in-law. Gene's wife was Walter's sister. Oddly, her given name was Gene. She was daughter to Nathan Hormell of the Washington county Hormells. She and Walter were Nathan's only children. Harrison Hormell, who kept a men's clothing store a door or so south, was Walter's uncle. I often saw Harrison Hormell arrive for work on horseback. Burleigh Gordon, his stableman, would meet him at the store and ride the horse back to the house.
The name Hormell has an interesting history. It derived gradually from that of the French ancestor who settled four miles south and west of Brownsville in 1789. his name was Jacob Hor Mell. On his tract he built a one-room log cabin, but the modesty of his abode didn't keep him from giving his estate a name. It was Garland. Jaco Hor Mell lived alone in the cabin for eight years. Then, at the age of 60, he married, in 1797, Jane Miller.
From that union stemmed all the Hormells of the Brownsville region. Hor Mell became Hormell. this transition is told me by Howard Dusenberry, of Newell. His wife is granddaughter to John Hormell and great great granddaughter to the founder.
As far as I know, the Hormell clan were all Washington county and old Bridgeport people with the exception of Walter. Born in 1870, Walter married Elizabeth Acklin, of the North Side Acklins. They had two children, Sarah and John, the latter known to the boys on Brownsville Hill as Buddy. They lived in the ancient brick house at Front and Third. This is the house once occupied by Dr. C. C. Reichard, father of the late Dr. Lewis N. Reichard. It was in that house that Isaac Reichard, known as "Cap", after his grandfather, Capt. I. C. Woodward, died of a gunshot wound received while hunting on his grandfather's farm south of Bridgeport.
When on consults telephone books of larger cities, one finds a few Hormels but rarely the Brownsville spelling. This suggests that the leap from Hor Mell to Hormell belongs to the special category of foreign names so if one speaks Hor Mell aloud one gets the notion that the accent on Hormell should have been on the second syllable. Brownsville usage placed it on the first. [Source: "And That Was Brownsville" by McCready Huston, Brownsville, author and newspaperman] | Hormell, Walter C. (I7104)

Nicholas Brown was of Portsmouth, R. I., but removed to Monmouth county, where he died in in 1694. His wife is believed to have been Frances, widow of George Parker. In the early generations at least, his descendants contributed notably to the upbuilding of both Monmouth and Burlington. His children were: Nicholas, Abraham, Jane, who married James Badcock and William. | Brown, Nicholas (I1320)
