A fifer is a non-combatant military occupation of a foot soldier who originally played the fife during combat. The practice was instituted during the period of Early Modern warfare to sound signals during changes in formation, such as the line, and were also members of the regiment's military band during marches. | Clark, Stephen (I6872)

A Golden Wedding
Today, March 28, '98, is the 50th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Riggs, of Raccoon Island, two prominent citizens of this county. Mr. Riggs was aged 28 and Mrs. Riggs 26 when they were married. They were married on the Guthrie farm adjoining their own. Mrs. Riggs' maiden name was Elizabeth Guthrie. She was a daughter of the late Truman and Hannah Guthrie. Mr. Riggs was the son of James Riggs, all prominent people. They became the parents of eight children—Edward, Mary Rozella, Mrs. Lizzie Ingels, Ernest all living, and Laura, Jessie and James dead. When they went to housekeeping Mr. Guthrie gave the bride a kicking cow that was worthless and Mr. Riggs had a horse. This was their entire capital. They went in debt for a farm and by industry and good management secured enough of this world's goods for themselves and children. Mr. Riggs is now among the largest tax-payers in the county. They had thought about celebrating their golden wedding day, but their recent bereavement of their son caused them to give up the idea of it. While their life has not been void of cares and heartaches common to life, they have had much to enjoy and transmit to others. Both have generally had the best of health, which is a great blessing of itself. Their many friends will wish them many returns of their wedding anniversary and that their lives may run smoothly to the end of all things. Mr. Riggs received a fall from a haymow about eight feet to the ground, Sunday morning, and sustained some bruises to his head and shoulder, from which he is suffering, but it is not thought of as serious. | Riggs, Jacob (I6846)

A GOOD WOMAN
Passed Away at Xenia, Ohio, After Long Illness.
The following account of the death of a well-known Gallia County, girl is taken from the Xenia Daily Republican of Friday March 27, 1914:
A beautiful life, full of love and tender devotion to her home and little children, came to a close today in the death of Mrs. Ada Clark Lackey, wife of Dr. Bert L. Lackey, well known dentist, who passed away at her home 20 Home Avenue, twenty minutes after ten, Friday morning. Mrs. Lackey had lain in an unconscious condition for hours preceding the end and death came peacefully and quietly. Cancer, which became apparent November 7 a year ago, was the immediate cause of death and during the weary months when she was confined to her home, Mrs. Lackey displayed a beautiful Christian fortitude bearing her sufferings without a murmur, except for her little ones, from whom death would separate her. Her husband and children have the sympathy of her scores of friends in their great bereavement.
Ada Clark Lackey was born November 7, 1871, at Raccoon Island, Gallia county, and was a daughter of Hon. Amos Clark, at one time a member of the State Board of Equalization, and a prominent retired farmer, broker and merchant of that place. Mr. Clark died at the Lackey home in this city, June 4, 1912. Her mother passed away when Mrs. Lackey was but three years of age, but a step-mother gave her and her brother and sister all of the tender care of a mother. She survives and lies in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Mrs. Lackey finished her education at Lebanon National Normal institute and at Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware, where she took a special art course. For a time she taught penmanship in the public schools of Manchester and in 1891 came to Xenia where she was appointed instructor in penmanship and bookkeeping at the O. S. & S. O. Home, which position she held for nine years. It was here that she met Dr. L. B. Lackey, and their marriage was solemnized September 10, 1902. They went to housekeeping within a short time in a newly built home on Home avenue, where they had lived ever since. Mrs. Lackey leaves her husband and three little children, Clark, Dorothy and Helen, the youngest of whom is only three years of age.
Mrs. Lackey united with the Clay Chapel Methodist church at Raccoon Island when but 11 years of age, and retained her membership there until she came to Xenia when she joined the First Methodist church. She was a true Christian mother, and the interests of her little family were always first in her mind. She was greatly beloved and admired in her circle of friends.
Mrs. Lackey's sister, Mrs. J. B. Ewing, had been with her several weeks preceding her death, and with her brother, J. S. Clark who had frequently visited her during her illness was at her bedside when death came. They are the only surviving members of her immediate family.
Funeral services will be held at the home Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock and will be in charge of the Rev. Charles W. Sullivan, of the First Methodist church. Burial will be made at Woodland cemetery.

A serious infectious illness early in his childhood caused speech difficulties and stuttering. Teachers preferred that he did not attend school. Most were not trained to correct speech problems in those days. His mother instructed him in arithmetic and money handling. Many people in Springboro depended on Louis to do their garden work and many outdoor chores regularly. His mother's homemade bread and a glass of milk was a special delight to him. His brother Maurice often took him to see his favorite Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team play at Old Crosley Field in Cincinnati. He was an avid fan via radio.
One faithful friend and follower was his collie dog, Lassie. Louis was born, lived, loved and died in the family farm home. Death occurred at age 73 years. [Source: Laura E.

Aaron Nutt
Who came to this county from Kentucky, was a soldier of the Revolution. After that war he came west with his little family, seeking a home and land that were due him under the bounty laws of the Government.
His parents, Levi and Ann, lived in Monmouth County N. J., where, July 17, 1758, their son Aaron was born. The father died when his boy was but two years old, who, when he became old enough, was apprenticed by his mother to a tailor. During his last year of apprenticeship, the war of the Revolution being then in progress, his boss was pressed into the army, but induced Aaron to go in his stead by giving him the rest of his time, and setting him free. Inspired with the patriotism of the times, and although not yet twenty years of age, he gladly accepted the opportunity of entering the country's service, and at once enlisted.
After the expiration of his term of enlistment, he, on the 4th of May 1779, married Mary, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Archer, born November 28, 1756. About the close of the war, when so many soldiers were attracted by the glowing accounts of the rich lands west of the mountains Aaron Nutt moved with his family as far west as Redstone Old Fort, Pennsylvania, where they lived for a time, and when by reason of the aggressive movements against the Indians in the Northwest, it became safe, he moved to Central Kentucky, where near one of the block-houses on the "Dry ridge," the divide between the Kentucky and Licking Rivers, he kept tavern for several years. With the opening of traffic along the Ohio River, and the tide of emigration setting in so strongly to the lands northwest of the Ohio, his business was greatly reduced. He determined to again change location.
After a visit to the Miami Valley, he, in 1796, came with a party of surveyors from Cincinnati as far as where Centerville now is, and selected 320 acres of land, the east half of Section 25, Town 3, Range 6, between the Miami Rivers, his brother-in-law Benjamin Robbins taking the west half. These two tracts were separated by the Dayton & Lebanon pike; the north half of the town of Centerville platted upon parts of them. Joseph Nutt, son of Aaron, owns and lives upon part of the land entered by his father nearly one hundred years ago.
In the spring of 1798, Mr. Nutt moved up with his family from Kentucky, stopping at his brother-in-law's (Robbins) cabin, he having moved up the year previous. Robbins wanted Nutt to unload his plunder and live with him until his cabin was built, but Nutt declined, saying, "No, I will unload my stuff into my own cabin."
He went nine miles over to Franklin, the little settlement on the the Miami at the mouth of Clear Creek, for help at the "raising," which, with the aid of six gallons of whisky, was done in a day, and the family occupied the cabin at night. He afterward put up a tavern, sign of the "buck horns," of which he was landlord for many years.
The Indian alarm in 1799 was an emergency that the settlers knew well now to meet; stockades were to be put up in all the neighborhoods large enough in which to quarter all of the families and strong enough to protect against savage attack. The horrors of Indian warfare were known too well to all.
The settlers down in Mr. Nutt's neighborhood rallied at once and built a strong block-house, with stockage to inclose a spring on Peter Sunderland's land the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 26, east of and near to the road, and about a mile north of Centerville. Arrangements were complete for the dozen or more families down there to assemble, but scouts from the more exposed settlements reported that the Indians were not preparing for war against the whites; and it is probable that the block-house was not occupied.
The Government had been lenient with the settlers in collection of money or land, but the time coming for settlement, Mr. Nutt went to Kentucky, hoping to collect what had long been due him there; failing to get it he determined to make a trip with produce to the New Orleans market.
He, with others, built two flat-boats at Cincinnati, and, loading with horses, pork and poultry, started in December, 1810, upon a trading and coasting trip down the river, and sold out at New Orleans. Mr Nutt within a few days brought a cargo of produce and shipped it around by sea to Baltimore, making a good profit on the venture.
With part of his money he bought in Baltimore a horse and cart which he loaded with dry goods and brought overland to his home, arriving at Centerville after an absence of five months; in his own language, "as fat as a house pig," and besides his stock of goods, with money enough to pay his debts.
With this stock of goods he opened the first store in Centerville. His license to sell the goods, dated May 20, 1811, was signed by Benjamin Van Cleve, Clerk, M. C.
The children of Aaron and Mary Nutt were born before the family moved from Kentucky—Levi, February 5, 1780; Sarah, July 7, 1781; Mary, April 28, 1783; Aaron, May 31, 1787; Abigail, September 24, 1790; Ann, October 24, 1792; Bathsheba, February 2, 1795; Moriah, August 22, 1797.
Mary his wife died at their home in Centerville September 22, 1817.
January 11, 1818, Aaron Nutt married Widow Martha Craig, daughter of Isaac and Hannah Pedrick, born in Salem County, N. J., and came West with her parents to Warren County, Ohio, in 1805 or 1806.
Their son Joseph Nutt was born at Centerville December 11, 1818; John was born March 3, 1823.
Aaron Nutt died June 2, 1842; Martha, his widow, died March 20, 1856, aged nearly seventy-six years; they, with his first wife Mary, are buried in the old cemetery a half mile north of Centerville. | Nutt, Aaron (I665)

Abijah Flora, a carpenter, emigrated from Virginia to Ohio, or the then Northwestern Territory, at a very early day; he served in the war of the Revolution as lieutenant of his company; was one of the first settlers in Heller's bottom on Paint creek; died age seventy years. His son, Thomas, has been a resident of Ross county upward of sixty years; he was called out during the war of 1812, and furnished a substitute. He was a great hunter in his younger days; and when quite a lad he went on hunting expedition with his father and the Rev. James B. Finley, William Murphy, Jacob Myers, and Simon Girty, Jr., son of the noted Simon Girty, of historical notoriety. The company started with dogs and guns, and upon arriving at a small creek—now known as Black run, the dividing line between Huntington and Twin townships—on the farm now owned by Mr. John Schligle, of Chillicothe, just above the barn now being built on the left of the road, the dogs treed a bear up a large poplar, of which tree the stump and part of the body still remain. They managed to shoot the old hear, and cutting down the tree found two young cubs. Mr. Flora says he enjoyed the sport finely, and would like to live those days over again. At another time, his father and Mr. George Vincent Heller were out walking on Sunday morning, through the beautiful forest bottoms of Paint creek, when they discovered some bear tracks in the soft ground, and followed them to a large elm tree, and found there was a den in the hollow of the tree several feet up. They started to inform their neighbors, and soon collected quite a number of men, women,, and children, who with dogs and guns went along to see the fun. The first thing they did was to cut a small tree and lodge it against the one containing the bear; this accomplished, Jr. Jacob Heller went up the tree which had been lodged, and found the hole in the tree extended several feet down in the body, but they managed to get Mr. Heller a long papaw pole, to which they attached a bunch of hickory bark, which they set on fire, and when in full blaze, Mr. Heller thrust it down in the hollow of the tree. Bruin soon made his appearance at the entrance of the hold, when George Heller raised his gun to shoot; he told Jacob his head was in the way; he answered to fire away, as he was the matter of an inch or so out of the way; his brother fired, and the fur from the bear flew into his face and eyes, so close was he to the bear. The bear fell to the ground, and amidst the howls of dogs, and shouts of men, and screams of women and children, bruin was hastily dispatched.
At another time, a Mr. Murphy treed a bear, and collected several of his neighbors, with their dogs and guns' among them Mr. Flora, my informant, then quite a lad. The tree was hollow, and when it fell the tree broke in two where the hole was. An old bear and two cubs rolled out, and immediately took to flight, the dogs and men in full chase; they soon overtook and dispatched them.
On returning, they passed by the tree which they had felled, when Mr. Flora, out of curiosity, stooped down and peeped in the hollow tree as it lay, when, to his surprise, out jumped another yearling bear, which took after him. He ran a short distance, and finding the bear about to overtake him, he turned and ran back, the bear in full chase. He mounted the stump of the fallen tree, when the dogs came to his relief, and soon one of the party of men came up and dispatched the bear with his rifle, much to the relief of the boy. | Flora, Abijah (I1427)
