Born in February of 1800, shortly after his parents settled themselves on the farm north of Lebanon, Ohio , he grew up learning what it took to survive successfully in the new Ohio lands. In 1822 he married Nancy Coleman and they built their lives together farming on the Hormel land. Unfortunately, Joseph was never allowed to see his family grow up for on May 19, 1838, he died.
Since Nancy had her small children to care for, and since the rest of the Hormel family had their farms to take care of, there was no way she could carry on the farming chores. Therefore, the farm animals and much of the means for farming had to be sold. On June 8, 15, and 22 of 1838 the following sale notice appeared in the "Western Star":
"PUBLIC SALE
On Tuesday the 26th of June there will be offered at public sale on the premises of the late Joseph Hormel, Dec., two and a half miles north of Lebanon, the following described chattel property to wit; - 2 head of horses, 5 milch cows, 3 steers and several head of young cattle, 70 head of hogs, 20 head of sheep, 7 acres of wheat in the ground, 30 acres of corn in the ground, 12 acres of grass, one two horse wagon & harness, one windmill, 2 plows, household & kitchen furniture and a variety of articles not here mentioned. Sale to commence at 10 O'clock. A liberal credit will be given but terms more particularly made known on the day of the sale."
Joseph had become a part of one of the most famous farm enterprises for its day in Warren County,..... Hog raising. During the first part of the 19th century, Warren County, was known as one of the hog breeding centers of the nation. It was south of Lebanon that the Poland-China hog was developed and later distributed throughout the USA. [Source: Stanley Wright Aultz, "Chronicles of a Griffis Family". Miamisburg, Ohio: S. W.

Boy Killed On Way To School
A small boy who formerly lived in this community was injured fatally last Thursday morning. He was Kenneth Beck, seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thearon Beck of 8513 North Main street, Dayton, formerly of Lewisburg, and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Leeth of RR 2, Lewisburg.
The lad and his mother were standing in front of their home on the west side of the street (State Route 48), waiting for a bus of the Randolph township schools at Englewood, where he was a second grade pupil. As the bus approached from the south, he dashed across the roadway and into the path of a southbound car driven by John V. Walker, owner of Walker Motor Sales. He was not held, as the investigating deputy sheriff cleared him of any blame for the accident and reported he wasn't driving over 30 miles an hour. The child was pronounced dead on arrival at Good Samaritan hospital.
Kenneth was born at Troy.
Besides the parents and maternal grandparents, survivors include a sister Patricia, 12 years old, and the paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Beck of Sidney.

Clay Chapel Methodist Church...
Gallipolis — In 1832 Phillip and Catherine Cubbage, James and Mary Riggs, Samuel and Matilda Patterson, Henry and Mary Kinder and Mrs. Lucinda Welch were granted by the Legislature of Ohio a charter to organize what would become known as the Clay Chapel Methodist Church. The steps of the third Clay Chapel church can still be seen today in the Clay Chapel Cemetery located along State Route 7. The first Clay Chapel Church, built in 1833, was of brick.
According to one early member that first brick church "was a queer affair. It was 40 feet in length, 18 feet in width and 8 feet to the ceiling. A huge fireplace was erected in each end, but that in the west end being of pour draft, the opening was closed up soon and a huge box-shaped stove furnished heat for that end of the long room. The door was a double one, and was on the north side, while opposite to it was the pulpit. The walls were unplastered and unpapered. The roof was made of lap shingles."
The first church also served as a school and was located closer to the river than the last two buildings, both of which stood where the cemetery is located. The second Clay Chapel Church was built in 1856, it being frame and covered with joint pine shingles. The third building went up in 1864 and it was that structure that survived to the 1950's when Clay Chapel was closed.
The founders of this church which "saw" some 130 Easter mornings in its history were quite interesting people and some of their life episodes are recorded in a book by The Rev. H E Brill on "The History of Clay Chapel". Philip Cubbage was born in 1781 in Caroline County, Maryland. He settled at Marietta, Ohio in 1802 and in Gallia County in 1821. He was a doctor by profession. His wife (Catherine Jeffers) was born in 1799 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Cubbage home was established about at the mouth of Teen's Run.
James Riggs was born in Washington, D C in 1797 and came across the mountains with his parents on a single horse. James' mother rode in the saddle holding James sister. James was placed in one end of a large bag thrown across the horse's back. A little black girl named Sally was put in the other end of the bag to balance off James weight. The father walked, leading the horse. The Riggs family settled near Marietta. In 1820 James married Mary Bare and the two came to Gallia County in 1832.
Mrs. Riggs was probably the most knowledgeable of the early Clay Chapel settlers about the Bible and the workings of the Methodist Church. Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, Mary lived to be 86. On her death bed she expressed only one regret - that she had not done more good in the world.
"In her final hours", wrote Brill, "Wooing angels seemed hovering about her. At one time looking up she exclaimed "Oh, mamma' Why mamma'. Subdued voices about her bed were singing "Palms of Victory", when suddenly she extended her hands to the angelic throng and went out from among us."
Samuel Patterson, born in Pennsylvania, was the first class leader at Clay Chapel. Mrs Patterson was the daughter of Lucinda Welch as was Mary Kinder. The Kinders and Welches were from Eastern Virginia. Henry Kinder died in 1855 and is buried in the Cottrill Cemetery. Mrs. Kinder died in 1878 but because of high water during the week of her death she had to be buried in Gallipolis
Lucinda "Grandma" Welch lived about 2 miles up the Raccoon Creek, often coming church in a skiff. Once when Grandma Welch was with a young neighbor girl in a skiff, the thunder rolled, the lightning flashed, the wind roared and every moment it was feared that the rain would come in torrents "Be calm", said Grandma, "We shall pray for the rain to hold off until we get home." Just as their feet touched the porch floor the rains came. Such was the faith that these early pioneers breathed into churches like Clay Chapel. | Riggs, James (I6817)

COLONEL WILLIAM SHREVE
...Sharing the military spirit of other members of the family, William Shreve rendered himself amenable to the discipline of the Friends' society as early as 1759, and was dealt with in that year by the Chesterfield Meeting for "Training," evidently in connection with the French and Indian wars. When the Revolution came on he resumed training. August 26, 1775, he was commissioned Second Major, First Regiment, Burlington County, N. J., Militia. September 28, 1776, he was promoted to First Major; March 15, 1777, Lieutenant Colonel, and April 18, 1778, was made Colonel, continuing to serve when occasion required for several years. In August, 1782, his son Richard was elected Captain of the troop of Light Horse belonging to the same regiment.
...Being active in support of the Revolutionary cause, Col. Shreve suffered with many others during the march of the British army through New Jersey in the summer of 1778. His claim for damages, submitted to State government, showed a total loss, June 23, 1778, of nearly £1,400, including "one dwelling house 24 X 32-1/2 feet, 2 stories, high Seiled & Painted, built in the year 1765.'
...About the close of the Revolutionary War, Col. Shreve entered mercantile life in Burlington County, but was not successful. On November 2, 1782, he and his wife Anne made an assignment of all their "messuages, lots of ground, lands, tenements, hereditaments and real estate whatsoever and wheresoever situated, moneys, debts, credits, etc. (except Family's wearing apparel)," to three prominent Philadelphia merchants, Jeremiah Warder, Jr., Mordecai Lewis, and Samuel Coates, in trust for his creditors, "anything remaining to be for use of William Shreve and family." On December 12th, 1789, these assignees for "divers sums of money and further sum of £2537 -- 10 shillings conveyed to Moses Ivins 304 acres of land, being the same land and premises which William Shreve and wife Ann conveyed to Jeremiah Warder, Mordecai Lewis and Samuel Coates, Nov. 2, 1782"; showing considerable of an estate for those times. It is not known how much accrued to Col. Shreve after the payment of all obligations, but in 1788 he journeyed to western Pennsylvania with his brother Israel and others. Evidently the prospect was not alluring in that locality, as he returned to Burlington County, N. J., and resumed business there with success. His will, dated May 1, 1819, proved January 1, 1813, disposed of personal estate amounting to $2,043.00. His wife Anne was given the estate that belonged to her at the time of her marriage, and also one half of the real and personal estate of the decedent, after debts and other small legacies were paid. his daughter, Keziah Shreve, received the other half of the property, and her mother's wearing apparel. His other children's share was one hundred dollars each.
