Notes:

It was during the canal boat age, when William R. Sellers was at his prime, that an omnibus stagecoach line operated between Lebanon and Cincinnati, often terminating in the former city at The Golden Lamb, the oldest inn in Ohio. A man who drove this coach was named William Sellers. An advertisement written and signed by William Sellers is reproduced on the back cover of the menu of The Golden Lamb's restaurant. The author (David Randolph Sellers) believes that this man was merely a contemporary, at most a distant relation, of the William R. Sellers. William R. Sellers was a farmer in Clear Creek Township, and census records suggest that he remained there until his death on September 28, 1870. His wife died on July 3, 1873. The couple were buried in Kirby Cemetery, a few miles north of Lebanon.

—Your papa brought Mary up yesterday morning and she stayed all day with me we had a fine time. She took a long nap in the morning also one in the afternoon was just as gold. I gave her some custard when she ate her dinner and when she was eating a lunch in the afternoon of rice, she pointed out to the Ice chest & wanted custard. I asked her if that was what she wanted & she nodded her head and said yes in her way. When her papa came to take her home she said at first she did not want to go but changed her mind when he was ready to start. I must close this and get to my ironing with much love to you both. Also to Uncle Walter & Aunt Lou.
Your loving Grandma
I think everything is going along fine if you and Dorothy are away for a time.

He had gone to the hospital just before Thanksgiving and some two weeks ago underwent a preliminary operation. He had seemed to be getting along well and it had been anticipated he would undergo further surgery.

Since his retirement he has resided most of the time at West Milton.
He retired from active pastoral work in 1910 but continued to do much supply work as he was happiest when he was engaged in the service of the church and it's head.

Notes:

Great Aunt Ettie Sellers was married to Fred Lucas. They lived in Xenia. I can recall some of Aunt Ettie's family. Her daughter, Mary, was married to Bill Harrison and they had three children. Bessie, who was a little older than I am, died of pneumonia as a young lady. There were two boys, Frederick and Bill. Their father used to be Superintendent of the old Xenia Water Company. They lived out on the Springfield Pike. There is a fish hatchery where this old water company was located. He later was a Superintendent of a water plant there in Oldtown when the city of Xenia took over the water company. As a boy, I used to be in their home quite often. As we used to go swimming in a place below the old water plant, and I have stayed overnight at their home many a time as a child. Aunt Ettie had another daughter that I cannot recall her name at this time, nor can I recall her married name. Her husband's given name was Ben and he worked for the Bell Telephone Company in Xenia. They had several children, but they were much younger than we were at that time and I cannot recall any names. Another daughter of Aunt Etties, possibly her name was Laura, was married to Edward Bostwick. They also lived in Xenia and I recall three of their children; one daughter, Mary, and the boy's names were Clarence and Edward. These two boys, I understand, worked and both graduated from college, and I believe are located some place in Illinois. I believe one of the boys was the business manager of some college in Illinois. Aunt Ettie's oldest son was Ralph Lucas, who was married sever times, but did not have any children only by his last wife. his last wife's name was Ethel and she was of Russian extraction, coming from the Georgian area of Russia. They had one son, Ralph, Jr., who I understand lives in Texas, and has a very responsible position as a manager of some store of some kind. Ralph Lucas, Sr. lived most his life around Cincinnati and Covington. He was a manager for the Western Union Telegraph Company. When he retired, he lived in a trailer at Xenia. The other son of Aunt Etties that I recall was named Henry and spent a good deal of time in the Armed Services. The last I remember of hearing about him, he was running a restaurant at New Vienna, Ohio. [Source: Letter written by Amos Clark Lackey addressed to David Randolph Sellers, dated May 23, 1966]

Mary married Thomas Frederick Price Lucas on 30 Dec 1875 in Clinton County, Ohio, United States. Thomas was born on 17 Sep 1855 in Huntington, Huntington County, Indiana, United States; died on 21 Nov 1935 in Springfield, Clark County, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I recall Great Uncle Charles Sellers as living in Springfield, Ohio and manufactured some kind of patten medicine. He used to make a pill called "Liverites" and they were bottled in a wooden bottle with a wooden stopper. He had one son, Richard, who was working for some company in Dayton. My brother, Bob Lackey's wife, Frances Douthit, was a stenographer in his office at the time Bob Lackey married her. Uncle Charlie had another son, who was connected with the Laconda or Lycoming Manufacturing Company in Springfield. I also recall two daughters of Uncle Charlies, but cannot recall their given names. One of them married Herbert Wineland. They had several children, but I do not recall any of their names.

The last time I saw Aunt Addie was in Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were home on a visit and we took our daughter to Cincinnati to the zoo. She was a youngster at that time. I did not get to visit with Aunt Addie very long since she was going to have a blood transfusion, and the doctor was anxious to have blood donated. My blood did not match as I have a more or less rare type, AB, but he said that they would put it in the blood bank and credit it to her, so I spent part of my time in the laboratory giving blood at the time I was there.

Notes:

Great Uncle Harry Sellers, grandmother's youngest brother, was the same age as her oldest son, Walter Lackey. Uncle Harry had the two sons, Darrow and Joe. Of course you know about Darrow living in Glendora, California. Since our daughter lives at San Diego, we have made several trips to California. On our first two trips we went up to Glendora to see Darrow Sellers. He has two sons. One of the sons was living in California and was with the U. S. Forestry Service. The other son was in the Navy and at that time was stationed in Washington, D. C. [Source: Letter written by Amos Clark Lackey addressed to David Randolph Sellers, dated May 23, 1966]

Notes:

Dean Stanley once said, "Give me a man young or old, high or low, on whom we can thoroughly depend; the one who will stand firm when others fail; the friend faithful and true; the adviser honest and fearless; the adversary just and chivalrous; in such a one there is a fragment of the Rock of Ages." Such was the character of Walter W. Lackey, whose passing with the old year, leaves an aching void in the life of this community, -- in every phase of which his influence has been felt.

The eldest of three sons of Elsworth and Laura Sellers Lackey he was born near Lebanon, Ohio, January 23, 1869; however, the greatest part of his life was spent in this vicinity. By precept and example the Lackey parents instilled in the hearts of their sons noble ambitions, which were cultivated and made them men of outstanding worth wherever their lot was cast.

June 18, 1891 Walter was united in marriage with Luella McKay, which union was a most congenial one. Their was a complete unity of spirit, whether in the home, the social circle, the church, or various forms of entertainment which both enjoyed. Besides Mrs. Lackey, Walter is survived by his youngest brother, Dr. B. L. Lackey of Xenia; the other brother, Raymond died in 1907.

Physically, Walter was large of stature and vigorous, -- a person to attract favorable notice; in a spiritual sense also he was one to command respect and confidence. Many a doubting soul has been helped by his advice and many a heavy load lightened through his instrumentality.

For many years he has carried a large share of the responsibility of the Methodist Church of which he had been a member since boyhood. his pastors found in him a ready and reliable helper. Hundreds of miles in all kinds of weather he has driven his automobile that others might find enjoyment, and the work of the Kingdom be advanced. his life reminded one of the Apostle's words to his friend Gaius?, "Beloved you are acting faithfully in all your behavior towards the brethren."

Walter was very fond of music especially the old hymns. While a member of the choir his rich bass voice added much to the harmony. During the last rational hours of his life he joined with friends in singing some of the hymns he had loved so well.

But his activities were not confined to the church alone. To whatever enterprise appeared which made for the betterment of the community in general, Walter lent his support, in activity as well as with his means. He was particularly interested in the local telephone company and largely through his efforts it has been kept up to its present standard.

For many years the deceased was a farmer. The condition of his farm and its equipment testified as to the care and wisdom of the owner.

As a neighbor, Walter left nothing to be desired. Whatever he had was not too good to loan and whatever service he could render was freely given. We believe that Walter Lackey really enjoyed "Being a helper."

The last months of his life were fraught with great suffering and he longed for the great change to come. he felt that his race was run and that the reward was in view. With his beloved wife, a host of friends and relatives mourn the passing of this good man, -- but the memories he has left, rest upon us as a benediction.

Fast as the rolling seasons bring the hour of fate to those we love, each pearl that leaves the broken string is set in friendship's crown above.

As narrower grows the earthly chain, the circle widens in the sky; These are our treasures that remain, but those are stars that beam on high.

Uncle Walter was lots of fun and I really enjoyed visiting with him. He was easy going and laughed a lot unlike his brother, my father Burt; who had a short temper and became irate real easy.

Notes:

Burt L. Lackey, D. D. S.
.....Dr. Burt L. Lackey, dental surgeon at Xenia, was born in the vicinity of Oakland, in Clinton county, this state, June 15, 1872, son of Enos Ellsworth and Laura (Sellars) Lackey, both of whom were born and reared in the neighboring county of Warren and the latter of whom is still living, now making her home at Xenia.
.....Enos Ellsworth Lackey was born on September 30, 1844, a son of Enos Lackey and wife, pioneers of Warren county, the former of whom was born in 1802 and who were the parents of fourteen children. Reared in Warren county, Enos E. Lackey later made his home for a while in Clinton county and in 1873 moved to the village of New Burlington, on the Green-Clinton county line and was there engaged in the general lumber business the rest of his life, operating a saw-mill and dealing in lumber, timber and logs and also engaged as a building contractor, his death occurring there on January 9, 1903. Mr. Lackey was a Republican and for years rendered service as a member of the local school board. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, as is his widow, and at the time of his death was a member of the official board of the same. To him and his wife were born three sons, of whom Doctor Lackey is the youngest, the others being Walter Lackey, of New Burlington, a farmer, and Raymond L. Lackey, who was engaged in the grocery business at New Burlington and who died on September 1, 1907.
.....Upon completing the course in the New Burlington high school Burt L. Lackey began teaching school and for three years thereafter was the teacher of the school in the Buck Run district in Clinton county. He matriculated at the Ohio College of Dentistry and was graduated from that institution with the class of 1896. Thus equipped for the practice of his profession, Doctor Lackey returned to his home at New Burlington and opened an office there, continuing in practice at that place for eighteen months, at the end of which time, in January, 1898, he located at Xenia, where he ever since has been engaged in practice, with present offices in the Steele building. Preparatory to his marriage in 1902, Doctor Lackey built a house at 20 Home avenue, Xenia, where he is still living.
.....Doctor Lackey has been twice married. On September 10, 1902, he was united in marriage to Ada Frances Clark, who was born and reared in Gallia county, this state, and who for nine years prior to her marriage had been engaged as a special teacher at the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia. To that union were born three children, Clark, born on December 10, 1903; Dorothy, May 9, 1907, and Helen, January 1, 1911. The mother of these children died on March 27, 1914, and on June 30, 1915, Doctor Lackey married Jessella Beebe, who was born at Kingman, Kansas, and who was reared at Elwood Indiana, in which latter city her father, John W. Beebe, is still living. [Source: Michael A. Broadstone, "History of Greene County, Ohio: its people, industries and institutions", Indianapolis, B.F. Bowen, 1918, pg. 654, 6550]

My dear Girl,
—Greetings in His name. You surely did take our breath away with your sudden announcement.
—It is nothing more than we could expect. It is the natural consequence when two people learn to love each other you are both old enough to decide and to feel the responsibility you are taking upon Yourselves. It is proper that you should at your age. God gave woman to man to be a helpmate. You will find that in Gen. 2: 18. I am sure that you realize how important it is to establish a home according to the teaching of god’s Word. You will find many passages in the Word showing the proper relationship between husband and wife and of responsibility of each to the other. I trust that Mother & I have been faithful in giving you the proper instructions along these lines. It has been hard on us to se eyou growing older and getting away from the old roof here. I felt a great responsibility on me when you (a Mere babe) was left without a mother. I shed many tears over you. I have always been glad though that you could have such a good step mother to love your and help guide your foot steps. The tears flow agin and I think of giving you into the hands of another, not that we mis-trust Harry in any way, for he is already like a son to us. You have been a dutiful daughter and I know that you will be a dutiful wife. I certainly can congratulate Harry in winning your love. Do not think that your pathway through life will be all roses, but remember that God will guide you over the stoney and thorny pathway if He permits it to be such. This life here is only of short duration, and the hard and trying ordeals here endured by His grace, will help us to enjoy the glory over there.
—We will try to make things work out for your wedding in the way you wish them. We can not go to great expense but we know that you do not wish that. It can be made nice and a happy occasion without excessive expenses. We can talk over the various arrangements when we see yu.
—I think that I will write to Clark & Leota today and possibly send your letter so they can be making their arrangements to attend if it is possible for them to do so. He operation might be in the way.
—I hardly know just what you mean by getting out two bonds. I may have to wait till I see you. They are of different denominations, fifty and one hundred.
—We haven’t told Bobby. Mother thinks it might be hard for him trying to keep it secret. She did not mean that she thought he would tell it, but that it might be a burden for him to keep it so long. We will be looking for your Sat. P.M.
—God bless you and keep you centered in His will. We pray for you each day and are anxious that you trust and obey Him. That is the only way to be happy and contented.
Loads & loads of love
Day

Xenia, O. July 12/37
My Dear Harry & Helen,
Greetings in His name. We certainly did enjoy your letter rec’d last Thursday. You certainly did get around & see your relatives on that trip into Maine. I wish I could have been with you I would have enjoyed so much meeting all those cousins I have read your letter over several times until I have all the cousins fixed in my mind pretty well now, as well as where they live. I knew that you would enjoy going up there and meeting them. I had heard so much about them from Grandpa & Grandma Clark but of course that was 30 years ago or more. The thing that puzzles me in that the old home at Winterport should burn down 30 or 40 years ago and not hear about it. The letter written to Clark Feb. 20 1927 by Ed Clark states that his brother Fred lived on the old home farm at that time. What has become of Fred and his brother Brad. I believe Clark said that Ed Clark died some few years ago. They were the sons of Uncle Augustus Clark. We have a picture taken years ago at the home place when grandpa & Grandma Clark were visiting there. It has the three brothers in it and the families of Uncle Steve & Augustus in it. I have intended to hunt tha picture and look at it again since getting your letter but haven’t got around to it. Bobby & I did take the atlas, find the map of maine and look up all the places you visited. I would like to see a road map of Maine. It would be easier to find them & be easier to understand the relative positions on that kind of map. I see by the atlas that Winterport only had about 1000 inhabitants and Auburn about 2000. It must have been quite thrilling to drive right up to Ward’s house and enquire for them. They are such good friends of Clark & Leota and I know that they were glad to meet you and have a visit with you. I never met Mrs. Ward either, but I spend a whole day with Mr. Ward the first time I visited Clark & Leota at Mt. Airy. He, Clark, Leota & I went down to Blowing Rock one day sight seeing. I found him to be quite a fine gentleman but rather quiet. We will be glad to see the pictures yu took when you get them developed. Coz. Addie must be quite an interesting person. I know you must have had quite a nice visit with her, her son & family. I have been wondering why she did not mention her brother Maurice living at Winterport. It must be a quaint old place judging from the picture you sent. I presume it looked odd to you to see the houses & barns built so close and connected by a shed. Their winters are very long and severe & they have lots of snow. In speaking of the old home place, you remember the water color picture of it that hung in Grandpa Clarke’s home & Aunt Maimie got for one of your children after Grandma’s death. It is over at Dorothy & Claudes. Your mother had it painted here by Mrs. Collins & gave it to Grandpa for Xmas 1901. It was the Xmas before we were married. I went home with her for Xmas & I carried that picture with us. I always thought it was such a pretty picture. We have a picture of Coz. Addies daughter Sara taken when she graduated from High school. I saw it among the pictures just a short time ago. She was a very pretty girl. I am wondering if you have written to Clark & Leota since you were up in Maine. I think that I will send your letter to them for they will be interested in your trip. We haven’t heard from them for two or three weeks. Leota wasn’t well at that time and they were trying to find out the cause of her ailment. Mary E. has finally gotten back home. She was gone four weeks. They came over just before supper time last evening. I wish that you could see the baby. He walks everyplace now. He is such a tiny little fellow to walk. Prudomes have fences in a portion of the back yard for Philip and a white rabbit. Philip was a year old last March, but he hasn’t been walking very long. Mary E. took the baby over there & put him in the pen with Philip & the rabbit they had quite a fine time chasing the rabbit. I wish you could see the kitchen & bath room since Mother & Bobby have painted in there. They have gotten to be real artists. I believe they are going to put one more coat on the upper part of the kitchen. I looks very nice now but another coat will make it look still better. The paint underneath the paper was so very dark. I think it would have looked “OK” if they had painted over the paper.
Mother says that she is going to work at a tailoring job this week. She is goin to alter the white suit & see if she can make it fit me. She thinks that she can do it “OK”. It surely is a nice suit such nice goods. I surely am grateful to you dear ones for it and will be so glad to wear it this hot weather when it is made to fit me.
—I presume that Dorothy has written you about their “smash up” two weeks ago. They got their car last Thursday. It would be hard to tell it had been torn up so badly. I could no tell it. Dorothy & Mary E. saw a wreck last Friday evening, at the junction of 40 & 48, from Jim & Hazel’s window. It made them so nervous again. Dorothy thought at first it might be Claude coming home from sales meeting. Well, I must close here . God bless & keep you both.
Lovingly Dad
P.S. I will send Coz. Addies letter back.
It is strange that you had not seen all the pictures we sent to you. It must have been the ones taken in NC. the last time we were there. The ones of Bobby & Nora F. was taken when they were here Xmas.

My dear Helen,
—I do not know what made me so forgetful. I wrote to you this morning and forgot about your birthday. We have been speaking about it lately. I said a day or two ago that New Years day doesn't seem right when you are not home to celebrate your birthday with us.
—Well, my dear, it is hard to believe that you will be 27 years old. It does not seem so long since that New Years morning that you arrived in our home. Your Mother & I were so glad you came to us and we have never been disappointed for you have always brought us such joy. I will never forget your third birthday. Your mother and I left for Pittsburgh a few minutes before the New Year and your birthday came in. We hated to be away on your birthday but arrangements had been made for us to go at that time so we left. We left a gray sweater to be given to you. How we did miss you dear children while we were away and how anxious we were to get back to you at the end of the month. Just a few short weeks and Mother left us and I can say that you dear children have meant so much to me since that time. You were the baby and she hated to have to leave you right in your tender years. She must be anxiously waiting for us on the other side and we must keep these facts in our minds as we go through this life. My best goes out in peace and gratitude to our blessed Lord Jesus for His sacrifices, which makes it possible to meet these dear once again.
—Pray that we will all be ready when the summons comes. It may be soon.
God bless you, my dear one,
Love in abundance,
Affectionately
Dad

My Dear Harry & Helen,
—Greetings in His name. We were indeed very glad to get your letter day before yesterday telling us about Helen's condition. Also yesterday morning a letter came from Dorothy telling us of the nature of the operation as contained in a letter to them. We are so glad for the information, especially since the information is encouraging. I suppose that you are thinking about this being the 20th and about the happy event eleven months ago today. This little one sure is a prize possession. She is such a healthy, happy little one and is so affectionate. We are enjoying her and Jon so much. Jon was so happy & busy when I left, carrying his cases out in front and placing them by the maple tree to be gathered up today. H, Bob and I went down to U. B. after school yesterday to do some cleaning up for Aunt Lou. She ask us Sunday if Bob couldn't come down some time and clean the garden off so she could have it plowed and sowed in grass. Jon & I went with him and mowed the lawn, Jon helped some as best he could. He was such a nice boy. Bob found some little baby rabbits in the leaves. He was so interested in them. He is to go to Dayton tomorrow afternoon and Dorothy is to meet him and take him out to spend Sat. with the boys and they will all come over Sunday.
—Last week Aunt Lou had an attack with her heart and she is having to be very quiet. She says that she can do is to get something for her to eat. She is all alone. Minnie has not returned. I do not think that she expects her to stay with her when she does return. Bernie & Emma McKay are very good to her Emma has been looking after the furnace.
— I fired it & Bob carried out the ashes before we left. She says that she is so cold. I suppose her circulation is very poor. She said that she thought she would come to Xenia today for she had heard from Carl Marshall that things are ready for her to sign papers etc.
—Mother & I went to the funeral of Max Barnard yesterday. afternoon at Neeld's Parlor. He died very suddenly Sat. evening. I had an appointment to fill his teeth at 1:30 P.M. Monday, I wondered why he didn't come and didn't know why till I picked up the Gazette at home and saw the notice of his death. He was in the office Thursday P.M. and made the appointment. He was engaged to Martha Beam. It seemed that most of the Beam family were at the funeral. It was a very large funeral. He was a member of Flenners Church in Dayton and he preached the funeral sermon.
— Bob says that he expects to have to go to Cincinnati by the 19th of May for a physical examination. He & Clarence Schardt went to Dayton day before yesterday to see if they could enlist in the Navy but they found that they couldn't and would have to come under the draft. He thinks that he will not have very much time after commencement before he will have to go.
— Jno Pramer is down at Camp Breckenridge in Kentucky now. I imagine that they have given up trying to get him ready to go out into combat service again. Bill Earnest is in England and is so home sick. Fred Harrison & Ralph Lucas, Jr. are in Calif. ready to be shipped out. Bill Harrison is in camp in Virginia. He may go soon. His wife was down to see him over the week end. I did not get this finished this A. M. It is now almost 5 o'clock & I will finish it & get it in the mail as I go home. Mother had both of the children down for their nap when I left at noon. They are both good sleepers. Jon slept all the time we were gone to the funeral yesterday p.m. and we had to wake him to get him ready to go with Bob & me. I do hope that you are continuing to improve. God bless you both. Much love.
Dad

My dear Harry & Helen,
—Your good letter arrived yesterday A.M. I thought I would get a letter off to you yesterday P.M. but did not get to it. Mother said that I would have to do the writing if you get a letter for she is sewing on your dress every chance she has. She said it as she promised Jon she would bake a cake & send him for his birthday & she just thought since supper that his birthday is next Monday, so she mixed up a cake & got it in the oven before she washed the dishes. She says that she does not know how good it will be but it will be a cake. She just said that you left a bottle of milk. She said that she will send the bottle when she sends the dress. Leota & children went out to her folks yesterday A.M. Howard came for them. Viva told me a few minutes ago that they are to be out there Sunday & if any mail comes for her that they will take it out. They were down there to supper Tuesday evening. Ruby was there too. We took Nora F. to Dayton Tuesday A.M. & got the tooth out. I got them their teeth filled & cleaned on Monday. They are to come in the first of the week. I have the dentures about done. I will fit them in & she says that they will go over to C & D's for 2 days & by that time I can tell if they need some trimming or grinding.
—John Pramer & Florence Haines are to be married tomorrow. He is home on a furlough till the 22d. Mrs. P. was in the office this afternoon. She doesn't like it so well. We have had 3 letters from Bob since Sunday. One went to Mt. Airy & back. He has been to church the last two Sundays. He says the services there at the rifle range are fine. He says "the chaplain is swell & he preaches the things you folks have taught me for 18 years." He said that the service last Sunday was a communion service. He says that he was shocked when he read about LeRoy Scherry's death in the Gazette. He said that he wanted us to include him when we expressed our sympathy to Mr & Mrs Scherry. He said he could not forget how nice Mr. Scherry was to him before he left. He says in his last letter that he has finally run on to someone from Xenia. His name is Shumaker and he worked for Chenoweth. His wife lives on S. Detroit. Bob said that she was going down there next Sunday. Mother went up to see his wife yesterday morning and she found out that she had started the day before. She may be able to see her when she returns. I bought Bob another money belt yesterday & we are going to send it to him. He had his money belt & money stolen. In the letter he wrote a week ago he says that it will be 3 or 4 weeks before he will get a furlough and get home. I do hope that he gets a furlough & gets home. Arthur Miller at the P. Office told me this A.M. that his boy did not get a furlough after he got through his boat training down there. Hattie Erwin told me Monday that Jno. Loveless is in the East ready to be sent out & that Richard in England is to be married to an English girl. Russell Metty has already married an English girl. We were so glad that you got home for the week. We sure enjoyed having you with us and we will be looking for you again next month. Mary E. came home in the night last night. She says that she will be in again Sat. night. We have seen so little of her since we returned home. I saw her on the way home to lunch as she was going into town. Mother just now showed me how nicely she has the cake packed in a box. I hope it carries OK.
God bless you all,
Much love to all
Dad

Notes:

The only daughter that I recall, I believe her name was Gwendolyn, and I do not recall her married name; but her husband's given name was Quincy. The reason I can recall this so well is that in 1913 - the time of the Dayton flood - I went with Uncle Walter Lackey and Dad over to Dayton and we got as far as Ludlow Street at the Montgomery County, fairground. While there, we met Quincy, who was a traveling salesman. He had returned to Dayton and walking the streets. He could not get over to Riverdale where his family lived, and he was a very worried man. Later on, after the flood waters receded, we again went to Dayton and had to get a pass because everything was under Martial Law, and we drove over to Riverdale to his home. His family had survived the flood and water had reached up to the second story of their home and everything on the first floor was practically ruined. [Source: Letter from Amos Clark Lackey addressed to David Randolph Sellers, dated May 23, 1966]

Gwendolyn married Quincy Linville Flarida on 3 Oct 1904 in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, United States. Quincy was born in 1872; died on 23 Sep 1954; was buried in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

EXCERPT FROM LETTER.....
I remember, as a child, going by horse and buggy from Xenia to Jamestown with your Grandfather Randolph and spending the night at your Great Great Grandfather Owen Sellers. I recall on this visit going to a field near a pond and your Grandfather Randolph would walk very handily on his hands, and I remember trying the same trick a good many times thereafter, but never reached the perfection that your Grandfather Randolph had in balancing himself and walking on his hands. Great Uncle Owen Sellers was a Methodist Minister at Jamestown at the time of this is it. The last time I saw your Grandfather Randolph was at my father's funeral, and he appeared to be in very poor health at that time. I also met your father, Robert, at the same time. One of the things I remember about your Grandfather Randolph was that he was in Germany with a college roommate at the time World War I broke out, and that he was arrested twice as a spy before he got out of Germany. Randolph and his friend went into Belgium and across the battlefield Liege just a short time before the Germans made their attack.

Another thing which has rolled through my mind and probably you can set me straight, your Grandfather Randolph Sellers, as I recall, was the business manager of the properties of Senator Nicholas Longworth, who was Alice Roosevelt's husband; or could it have been the Taft family. Of course, it is hard for me to keep all these things straight in my memory since actually I have been away from home since I was bout eighteen years of age; that is, counting the time I was in school at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, and then we have been here in Mount Airy since April 16, 1926; and the things that Dad used to write in his letters, etc. never was quite as clear and stayed in your memory as when you were at home and you were in personal contact with some of the relatives and remember some of the happenings.

About my grandfather's war experiences: In 1914, he visited Europe with a Louis Carnash. That June, at the time of the Austrian Archduke's assassination, he and Carnash were in Prague, Austria. Many Serbians at the time were poisoning Austrian wells. The Austrians took no Chances. They seized the two Americans. When it was found that grandfather and Carnash carried no passports, the two were imprisoned in a glass factory. Execution seemed likely. They were reprieved only when an uncle of Carnash swore on the Bible that they were Americans, intending no harm. When the United States entered the war in 1917 my grandfather volunteered for service. A weight of 117 pounds was required of such men. Grandfather weighed on 112. He was, nevertheless, able to render services by managing the Y.M.C.A. on a military base in Ohio.

I do not believe that grandfather Randolph managed the properties of Longworth or Taft. I know that he studied real-estate practices and when he came to Cincinnati in 1931, he became Executive Secretary of the Property Owners' Association. He became intimately acquainted with the late Senator of Ohio Robert A. Taft, President Taft's son. Also he knew the late Governor Myers Y. Cooper, who was in the real-estate business.

In 1915 Randolph Sellers married my grandmother, Henrietta Augustina Beecher. They had two children: my father, Robert Beecher Sellers, was born in 1922. My Aunt, Mary Elizabeth Sellers was born in 1930. It is not true that Dad was the first to take pictures of Dakow prison camp, although he was in Berchtesgarten, Hitler's home, at the war's end and obtained some very valuable souvenirs. One of them, a plaque containing the Nazi emblem, taken off Hitler's personal car and the only one of its type in the world, proved such an appealing souvenir that it was stolen from my father one night as he slept.

In 1948 Robert Sellers married my mother, Ruth Fairchild Rei. I was born on their first wedding anniversary in June 1949. I have a younger brother Richard, 15, and a sister, Ruth Ann, 8, so that makes five of us you can expect. By the way, my middle name is Randolph.

Randolph married Henrietta Augustina Beecher on 12 Jun 1915 in Union County, Ohio, United States. Henrietta was born on 19 Aug 1891 in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio, United States; died in Feb 1982; was buried in Feb 1982 in Corwin, Warren County, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
