Bundy Post F1 ____________________________________________________________________________ Rodney sent in the following article which I will post to both the Bundy and the Doudna groups. Thanks Rodney. Best wishes, Bruce Wood ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Little Home Histories of Belmont County" page 23 William "Black Bill" Bundy was born in 1819, the eighth child of a family of eleven. His parents were William and Sarah Overman Bundy who came over the mountains from Wayne County, North Carolina in a cart and settled in this section of Belmont County. He was five years old when the "brick house" was built. The children loved to run up and down the inclined runways used by the masons in constructing the (then) unusual house which is located on the Barnesville-Bethesda road a mile west of Speidel and is familiarly known as the "Alden Lee Place". At the age of nine, his father died and he grew to manhood under the guidance and care of his pioneer mother. She taught him to hate the institution of slavery, and later he took an active part in the discussions of the leading questions of the day. The formost of these were the abolition of slavery and he naturally became a conductor on the underground railroad. It was his duty to take the passengers from the next man south and conduct them as far north as possible and get back by day break. The aged slaves and children rode in the wagon and the rest marched behind. It was because of this experience that he became known as "Black Bill", althougth he was quite dark complected, the name suited him. When he reached the age of 24, he married Prudence Wood. She died eighteen months later and left him an infant son. About the time of his marriage "Black Bill" built a story and a half house across the road from his fathers famous brick house. It consisted of two ground floor rooms and two rooms upstairs. He had a windless well, outside Dutch oven and an outside cave to accomadate the housewife. Three years later "Black Bill" married Asenath Doudna, and to them nine children were born. In 1860 a lean to kitchen was built on to the house and in 1868-69 the final addition was made by Samuel Williams. It is still standing today as it was finished in 1869. In the early days, one toiled for the necessities of life. Soft soap was made by leaching wood ashes. Cloth was made by spinning their own flax, and carpets were made of woven rags. They had a maple sugar camp and also raised cane for molasses. They progressed from the sickle the combine, from the the tramping out of the grain to the threshing machine in their generation. There was an interesting reason for enlarging the farm house to such proportions in 1868. "Black Bill" was very much interested in the "Drove Road" and its purpose. This road is only a tradition now, but it existed for a very good reason. When the National road was built, it was surfaced with hand crushed stones which were too sharp and rough to drive the herds of sheep, cattle, mules and horses on from the middle west to the east coast and so the "Drove Road" was built. It entered Belmont County at Putney Ridge, winding east thru Barnesville, passing on south of Bethesda and Belmont to the Ohio River at the mouth of Grave Creek where the cattle could ford across. "Black Bill" would give these drovers and their herds accomodations for the night as they passed thru, As many as 5000 head of sheep or 1000 head of cattle would be cared for in a few days. At one time four drovers brought 149 mules and hores thru. The mules were herded into the mule lot and the neighbor boys were hired to watch them while the drovers rested and slept. One night they played "hookey" and it took all the next day to round them up again. Always interested in public advancement and in the forefront of action, he was elected to represent Belmont County in the Ohio State Legislature in 1875, although he was a Republican in a Democratic County. His wife Asenath, died 1888, after 42 years of happy family life. His son Clark Bundy and wife Rachel Crew Bundy, were living on the west coast and asked him to come and live with them. Black Bill said "No" it is hard to transplant an old tree. In 1891 he sold his large farm to Allen Bailey and it is still known by that title. He built a new house which is now owned by the Belmont County Childrens Home, but is better known as the Wilford T. Hall farm. He lived there until his death in 1905 at which time he was in his 86th year. William Bundy opened his farm home to every orphaned or aged relative that he had and sheltered close to 20 at some time in his life. Of his nine children, only Dillwyn C. Bundy of Tacoma, Ohio is living. He is my grandfather and is from him that I gained the facts for this history.

I particularly have an appreciation for these listings of those buried at Stillwater. I visited the cemetery back in 1996 but did not have time to do more than a cursory walk through it. I did note that of the approximately 200 graves there that had headstones that I could read, about 180 of them were my relatives and I had their family records. I knew them. Talk about walking on sacred ground. Thank you, Rodney, for supplying what I have longed for for years. For those of you in both groups, this is the same as Doudna Post 19 parts 1 and 2. Best Wishes, Bruce Wood ____________________________________________________________________________ Belmont County, Ohio Cemetery Friends Stillwater Church & Cemetery Warren Township This cemetery and church are on Co. Rd 102, off St. Rd. 147 at east edge of Barnesville. This church and cemetery are very old and date back to 1804. A section of the old church contains a museum and church and cemetery records may be found there. Burial records of some who do not have markers in the cemetery may be found there and I hope to get them later. Stanton Bundy was the caretaker when I copied the cemetery inscriptions and was very helpful. The interesting old church is similar to the restored Friends Church at Mt. Plesant, OH. The first church was a log church built in the spring of 1804 and was the first Christian church erected in Warren Township. The brick church was erected in 1812. Ruth Boswell preached the first sermon in the log church and the aged Hosea Doudna was its first steward. The first burial was that of Eupherma Mendenhall. Very well kept. Some stones illegible.

I started working on the BUNDY line about 25 years ago, however, couldn't seem to find much information. I spoke with a granddaughter of Clarkson Bundy who was up in age and told me "she just wasn't interested in the family tree". So needless to say, she wasn't much help.

Not all of you are members there, so I thought I would post it here also, as well as on the Doudna list, since it involves both families. I will apologize to the few of us who are members of all three groups. Thanks, Judy, for your efforts. Best Wishes, Bruce Wood __________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Bruce Wood of this list, many months ago I acquired a photocopy of an old manuscript called "The Little Home Histories In Our Early Homes, Belmont County, Ohio". It has given me such pleasure to read about the day-to-day lives and times of the families that formed the mostly Quaker community of Belmont County, Ohio from the early 1800's to the early 1900's that the manuscript covers, and I wanted to share some of that pleasure with those of you who may also be interested. Although I am related to many folks whose names appear throughout the work, the article I am posting here is mainly about individuals who are not closely related to me. I just thought the stories imparted a strong feeling of realism about our ancestors' lives. The surnames that will appear below, and the order they will appear in, however briefly, are: STEER, GREEN, PICKETT, HALL, WILSON, BETTS, NAYLOR, BAILEY, HOYLE, TABER, SMITH, SEARS, VAIL, FRAME, MILLHOUSE, BUNDY, LIVEZEY, SCHOLFIELD, DOUDNA, WALTON, OVERMAN, HANSON, EDGERTON. I warn you in advance that this will be lengthy reading. But rather than apologize for excessive use of space, I'll just assume everyone knows how to use their delete button, if necessary, and I'll plunge onward. Hope you enjoy. Judy L. Alberts JAlberts97@aol.com Hollywood, Florida ___________________________________________________________________ Anecdotes Written by William G. Steer James Steer's Oxen--Tramping Out Grain--Making A Flail--Sugar Camp--Sorghum Molasses--The 1835 Brick School House--Corn Husking--James Frame & George Washington--The Steer Name--Hazards of Farm Life--The 1910 Girl's Boarding School JAMES STEER'S OXEN. When my father, James STEER, bought the Grandfather William GREEN's farm, he also bought the stock which included three yoke of oxen and twenty-five head of three-year-old colts. He sold the latter at public sale the same year and kept the oxen for a few years. He employed a colored man by the name of Sam BETTS to drive them. One of the first jobs was to have the sills for the barn hauled. They were twelve by twelve and sixty feet long, and came from the "Billy" Doudna farm on Sandy Ridge. Another thing of importance was to deliver the stone for the first bank vault built in Barnesville in 1865. The oxen were so well trained that the driver could turn the team and wagon on Main Street and not leave the side walk. At one time Father hauled three loads of coal, one hundred bushels in each, to Barnesville in one day. The coal digger helped him to load it. In hauling coal to Number Two Schoolhouse, he only used one yoke. After getting up the long steep hill and crossing the railroad with seventy bushels, he stalled on the track. After going to the rear wheel, with his lifting [up, he] helped the oxen to get across the track. The outcome of this incident caused a report to be circulated that Father had lifted seventy bushels of coal over the crossing. In his prime, it was said that he was the strongest man in the township. The names of [the] three yoke were Joe and Jerry, Buck and Berry, and Bill and Barney. TRAMPING OUT GRAIN. There was plenty of floor space in the large barns built before and after 1864, so we often used this space to tramp out grain. The sheaves were unbound and placed in a circle. Then we brought in four or six horses and colts, tying them two and two. With someone to ride the leaders and another person in the center to keep the horses in place, they soon learned how to go. Of course, it was necessary to keep a large shovel nearby to remove the droppings. It was [also] necessary to use a flail to thresh out that which was not tramped. MAKING A FLAIL. This was made by taking two sticks of wood about the size of a fork handle. One four or five feet and the other two or three feet, making a knob on the end of the longer one and boring a hole in the shorter one, the two were tied together with a flexible rope or rawhide. Thus the loop on the long piece will turn around when swinging the shorter stick. An inexperienced person, if not careful in using the flail, [could sometimes be struck on the head by the short piece and] need not be surprised. SORGHUM MOLASSES. During the Civil War from 1860 to 1865, no sugar could be had from the southern states. To have a substitute, many farmers in the northern states grew sorghum cane and made molasses. I remember that it had been told that Lewis NAYLOR, a Friend of Sandy Ridge, had made as much as five-thousand gallons in one season. The most cane Father ever raised in any one season was six acres -- a colored man and his girls stripping and cutting and getting it ready to be hauled to the mill located in the basement of the barn. The cane was crushed by a sweep mill containing three upright rollers two feet in length and one foot in diameter, the juice being conveyed by gravity in an open spout to the boiling shed one-hundred or more feet below. From the storage box, the juice was drawn into the first pan for boiling, made by nailing sheet iron to wooden sides. It was allowed to boil only a little in one end so that the green scum could be taken off. It was necessary to feed this to the hogs before it fermented or it would make them drunk. The juice was drawn from the first pan into a settling box and then on to the finishing pan, made of solid cast iron ten feet long, three feet wide, with flaring sides one foot high and an opening in one end two by six inches to draw the molasses into the collecting box. This was done with a board six inches in width to fit the pan, which shoved the molasses to the end, being careful to have a vessel with juice to follow up the board. This to keep the pan from burning. One year when we had a large surplus, it was sold in Wheeling, West Virginia for $1.25 a gallon. A day's work was about seventy gallons of molasses. The management at the shed was generally by the women. Our cousin, Ruth BAILEY, was a very good helper. On the return trip from Wheeling, we met some men on horseback who had just crossed Wheeling Creek and reported the water so high that it would not be safe to cross. Father thought with his strong team, he would try it. So when we came to the stream, I tied the pony I had rode twenty-five miles bareback,to the wagon. We got safely across, though the water was deep enough to swim the pony and [it even] came into the wagon bed. This being the time of the Civil War, when Friends refused to pay the tax, the sheriff told Father he was going to take one of his horses the next morning when he started back. (This was the plan taken at that time, to take stock and sell it to get money for the tax.) Father was very much worried as [to] what to do, as we were taking a flock of sheep to the[ir] new home. He decided to go another way and so did not lose the horse. THE PRIMARY BRICK SCHOOL HOUSE. This was built in 1835 and was in use sixty-three years. The brick used in building this school was made on the Benjamin HOYLE farm, now the L. J. TABER farm [as of the early 1940s]. The plans were made by William GREEN, whose early life was spent in England. Thus, there was a similarity to the English buildings as there were three rows of seats on each side of the room, each row being up one step from the one below. However, these were removed not long after we first went to school in 1866, and new desks were put in. James STEER and Sinclair SMITH were the donors. After this change was made, it left the windows so high that we could only see out at one end. There seems to have been a time, before 1866, that no school was kept [at least in this building], Peter SEARS, the grandfather of William H. SEARS, having lived and died in the house. The early teachers we know were Isaac N. VAIL, Thompson FRAME, Lindley B. STEER and Lydia MILLHOUSE, Mary Caleb BUNDY, and Elizabeth Smith LIVEZEY. The building was in good repair when taken down to give place to a more modern one in 1898. CORN HUSKING. Sixty or seventy years ago, the manner of gathering the corn was very different from that of the present day. Many farmers, instead of putting it in shock, cut the top of the stalk just above the ear and used it for fodder. They snapped the ears off and hauled them to the barn to husk. When the crops were large and they had large barns, [the corn] was placed in long ricks [racks?] across the floor and the neighbors invited in to help husk it at night. After husking, a good supper was served quite late at night. The huskers rested on their knees as close together as they could work, and there was always a rivalry to see who could first husk through the pile. It was the task for the older men to rake back the husks as they accumulated. Around 1860, J. T. SCHOLFIELD made a business of hauling the husks to his barn [where] they were shredded to be used in making mattresses, [then] baling and shredding to Wheeling, West Virginia. the motive power for the shredder was a tred power large enough for two horses to walk on. A large wagon bed seven feet high and large enough to hold a ton of husks was drawn by a four-horse team to deliver the husks, this having to be done in the winter when the roads were very muddy. My first ride on a wagon like this was in 1864, when I was eight years old, and we went from the Henry DOUDNA home on Sandy Ridge to the AARON home, [which was] then the home of Jonathan T. SCHOLFIELD. In the winter of 1880, I was in partnership with Perley PICKETT and we carried on the same business. It was the practice in those days for the neighbors to take the Boarding School scholars on a sled ride each winter. It fell to my lot to take twenty-four of the scholars in my load. This wagon bed was too high for them to see out and when the door was closed they were practically in prison. On our return trip, two miles west of Barnesville, Ohio, the scholars crowded too much to one side and the bed, being on bob sleds, upset and rolled the scholars into an adjoining field and pitched me into a fence corner in the snow. There was no one hurt. Sarah Pickett WALTON is, as far as I know, the only one living of those twenty-four scholars, after a lapse of sixty-one years. JAMES FRAME & GEORGE WASHINGTON. More than fifty years ago, my wife's father, William PICKETT, related this incident: James FRAME, a great uncle of his, during the Revolutionary War was brought into the presence of George Washington by two soldiers. [Washington] addressed James as follows: "James, what are you doing here?" The reply was, "These two men brought me here because I refused to bear arms." Whereupon the Commander said to him, "Many a time have we drunk out of the same cup and many a time have we slept together under the same blanket. You are at liberty to return to your home and help produce food for those who are willing to fight." James FRAME told my father-in-law, William PICKETT, that he had assisted George Washington when he was a surveyor. THE STEER NAME. While my wife, Louisa D. STEER and myself were living in Southern California, from 1866 to 1887, one day as I was driving in Los Angeles, I saw on a sign the name Vacy STEER. On making inquiry I found she was an English woman, who later on gave me the following information: In the 10th or 11th century, when the Normans first attempted to invade England, they found it difficult to make a landing on the stern and rock- bound coast of Cornwall. After several unsuccessful attempts, a safe landing was made, and the man who guided the boat was given the name of STEER. She also informed us that in a little town in Cornwall, the family history had been kept for five-hundred years. The first record of the name was found in the period from 1660 to 1665. From that time to the present, we have a complete line of records. If these records are desired, write to Warren E. Pickett, Washington, Pennsylvania and he can furnish a copy. [This offer was made in the early 1940s, so is just a wee bit out of date.] HAZARDS OF FARM LIFE. When raising a barn on the farm of James STEER in 1865, there were one hundred and twenty-five men working. Through the care- lessness of one man, a beam four by four and eight feet long fell from the top story to the floor, striking a large man who wore a silk hat a glancing lick, and then struck Chalkley BUNDY on the head and seriously injured him. He was carried into the house and placed on the couch, where he laid until taken to his home. I was but eight years old, but I remember seeing his brother, John BUNDY, standing by him and I noticed how pale he was. [Chalkley] recovered, and later married Debora BUNDY. He died two years after the accident, and it was this injury [that] shortened his life. In the fifth month, 1879, when moving a barn to what was known as the lower farm, while putting the heavy sections of the roof with pole rafters in place, owing to a defective worm-eaten timber, the entire building-- thirty-six feet long--collapsed, carrying twenty men down with it. The only one of those who was on the platform who was injured was David EDGERTON, who suffered a badly sprained ankle. I was near the eaves and was removing a pin that was in the way, so when the barn spread, I fell through. Though pinned to the ground, I was able to make known my whereabouts. The men soon removed the heavy sections of roof and carried me and laid me on the lawn. When the doctor came, he found my spine was injured and informed me that I would never be able to work again. After lying in bed for six weeks, I gradually recovered until I was able to manage my farm work. Although I suffered with my back for over thirty-five years, I had it straightened by the first chiropractor that came to Barnesville. THE GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL BUILT IN 1910. It required a great deal of work to repair the Stanton home to get it in readiness for the school, having to lay a pipeline for several rods to connect with the Childrens Home water system, and to overhaul the system in the house. At the expiration of ten days, everything was in readiness for the school. The twenty-two girls and the teachers lodged in the building. The exercises at the end of the term were held on the lawn. A large barn door was used for a platform on which the six girls graduating were seated. With all the inconvenient ways of getting along, the teachers thought that the scholars made as good progress as they would have done in the old building. There were two terms held before going to the new building the first of the year in 1911. This was a memorable experience, and enjoyed by all who had a part in conducting the school. ___________________________________________________________________ Recaps and additional data: WILLIAM G.

Bundy Post F7 ________________________________________________________________________ Hi gang, Does anyone know what happened to our new member John Bundy? All of his email is bouncing back undelivered? He are up to 72 now, with two new members. I send out our address list every time there is some significant change. Rick Lance needed to go off-line for some time as he is moving. And Pat Bundy had an e-mail address change. New member Rick Cole has asked about his line and the answer will form most of this posting. Hope all is going well with you. I would ask for any posting you send in to make this group more interest- ing. If not, you are doomed to the dull postings of my Bundy archives. Judy helped us all nicely this past week with her material about Belmont County. Best Wishes, Bruce, Wood _________________________________________________________________________ Lillian has sent in the following reply to posting F5. I have only one birth to add to my list. Holly Ruth Shelton, daughter of Larry Shelton. (Larry is son of Ruth Holcomb Shelton). Since it is private I dont have to provide the birth date. (She is 3 yrs old). Thanks, Lillian ONeal ___________________________________________________________________________ Charles Bundy sent in this material: I would like to take this time to thank you for all the help and info that you share and let you know that you are doing a great job as coordinator. Just a few days ago I sent for My great great grandfather Civil war pension records To me they were of little use, but made interesting reading. My Dad loved it. When I went to check on a query I made on wisconsin I noticed a name that looked familiar, not remembering where I saw the name I read the message asking for help on finding a link to a persons famliy. After few hours of pondering It dawned on me that I had seen that name in my GGgrandfathers pen.file and I was able to let this person know where his relative was from and where he served. He some how got my home phone number and called me and couldn't thank me enough for taking time to answer his querry. I have not as of yet been able to find any solid connection of my Phineas to the one you mentioned. There was no mention of his mother or father in his pension, but it did say he was born in Indiana, a new thread to unravel. I have sent for his military records in hope of finding more. Keep up the good work. Charles B. Bundy ****Thanks for you kind words, Charles. ___________________________________________________________________________ Bud DePoy has asked for help with a project he has undertaken. I am just too busy coordinating the Bundy and Doudna Research groups to help out here. It will have to be one of you if you are interested. If you can assist Bud, then please contact him at: budepoy@earthlink.net Bruce: You will recall that I promised to organize the material you've sent into a GEDcom file for easy data transmission and machine alteration. I am well embarked on that task. It is a significant data entry task. And now I shall speak as an engineer, which I am: My data entry is no better than anyone else's; there will be errors. I will find and correct some of them; I will not find them all. The way to find and correct very nearly all of them would be to have 2 people both construct GEDcom files from the same material, preferably the same material entered in pretty much the same sequence. When both are completed, you run a machine comparison of the two. Discrepancies will turn out to be errors in one or the other, it doesn't make any difference which. Having located the discrepancies or errors you can deal with them appropriately. I'll supply one GEDcom file. If you can get someone to construct a similar file from the same material, I'll also volunteer to run the machine comparison and make the corrections. Bud DePoy ___________________________________________________________________________ This is from one of our newest members, Rick Cole: Hi, I also descend from a William BUNDY and Elinor. I would be interested in the Manners (Morris) line and the Keaton lines. I do know that this Bundy families were Quakers. My line went to Belmont Co, OH after 1805. Mary Bundy m. William French, she was the d/o William and Sarah (Overman) Bundy SR. Hope to hear from you. Rick Cole ----------------------------------------------------------------------- By now Rick is probably snowed under with our many postings which I just sent to him. He will find that we have covered much of what he wants to know. But I want to post what I have on his line now, since it has not yet been covered by our group postings. ___________________________________________________________________________ Family B17 William French s.

We look forward to the promised extension of this line by Rick. This is another case of our success as a group, gathering material that none of us has currently. Also, Rick, do you know the ancestral line of this William and Otho French? I, and some others, descend from the French Family, namely Thomas French of New Jersey in the late 1600s. Is this the same family? ___________________________________________________________________________ B11 Ezekiel Bundy s. William Bundy and Sarah Overman #B1 (7/26/1807-11/21/1866) b.

Surnames of Belmont County families mentioned in the article below, or in my added comments, are, roughly in order of appearance: HODGIN, DOUDNA, BUNDY, HANSON, CHILDRE, STARKY, STANTON, and FRAME. The article was written by Lucinda BUNDY HANSON and is dated Feb. 12, 1942. She would have been about age 92 at the time. Hope you find these true-life tales as fascinating as I did, whether or not any of these folks happen to be your relatives. Judy L. Alberts JAlberts97@aol.com Hollywood, Florida __________________________________________________________________ Historical Data Concerning Joel and Rebecca [Hodgin] Doudna & Family by Lucinda Bundy Hanson, granddaughter of Joel & Rebecca Doudna OLD BRICK HOUSE, built in 1811 by William HODGIN [1766-1820]. This old brick house is believed to have been the first brick house built in Warren Township, Belmont County, Ohio. The date 1811 was cut in one of the black walnut joists over the second story at the top of the stairway. [The house] was torn down in 1901. This was located on the road now running past the Grange Hall. This just outside of Barnesville. We would cross the creek, go up the hill, on the level for a little, then up another rise. There was an old double hollow walnut tree where an old blacksnake lived. In the hollow just before the rise the old brick house stood. Before this was built, my grandmother's parents lived in a log house. [Note the grandmother she speaks of was Rebecca (Hodgin) DOUDNA, and Rebecca's parents were William and Agnes (Childre) HODGIN.] After the oldest child, Ezekiel, was married and the others were older, grandmother's father HODGIN built this brick house. There was a loft over the kitchen. The only way to get to it was by a ladder off the porch. The kitchen was a lean-to. In the kitchen in the corner by the fireplace, there was a cook stove. There was a large fireplace in the living room. Joel and Rebecca [DOUDNA] lived in this house until the board house at the top of the last above-mentioned rise was built. My mother [Sarah (Doudna) BUNDY] was born in this house. Joel and Rebecca [DOUDNA], daughter Sarah and her husband Chalkley BUNDY, set up housekeeping in the old brick house. These are my father and mother. It has been said that Joel DOUDNA was known as "The Good Joel Doudna." He would loan to his neighbors and friends the things he needed for himself. MAKING APPLE BUTTER. Rebecca E. Doudna BUNDY [probably Lucinda's aunt], before she was married, lived with us a great deal and helped my mother. She was making apple butter. It was in large kettles over the fire. There was a long stirer which was a very long square stick. At right angles there was a stick that went down into the kettle. This enabled us to stir the butter while we were sitting down. My little sister was standing with her back to the fire, and Rebecca cautioned her to go away or the hot butter might pop onto her. She went away. I then went there, not thinking, and some hot butter splashed out onto my neck. Then Rebecca said she had not spoken to me because she thought I knew better. (I was about ten years.) My mother [Sarah (Doudna) BUNDY] died here in August 1862. MILK HOUSE & SPRING. My father, Chalkley BUNDY, built a milk house by and partly over the spring. I can remember when it was dug out square around it. Bill STARKY came to break the stones for the house. This was done by hand with a hammer, as I remember it. After breaking the stone he would smooth it the same way. The house was high enough to walk into. There was three steps from the spring down into the milk house. Two large pieces of stone were hollowed out to make troughs on the inside on two sides. The spring water ran through these troughs. I used two gallon crocks covered with large, clean boards, and would set these filled crocks in the trough to cool the milk. Each day I would skim the previous day's milk and put the cream in the cream crock. After this had soured, I would churn it into butter. The temperature of the cream had a great deal to do with the quality of the butter. At the door of the milk house and around the side of the spring it was built with the stones. When the weather was good, I would churn here. We would very often sit on the long, wide board that ran in front of the spring to amuse ourselves with our reflections in the water. One day sister Rebecca and I were bending over to drink from the spring. She tumbled in head first. The spring must have been three or four feet deep. I pulled her out by the heels and she was all right. Above the spring on the little hill was a maple tree. We always had a play house under it. In the springtime, Father would tap it by boring a hole in it. Then he would insert a little trough and hang a bucket on it. The sap would drip into the bucket, and we would then boil it down into sugar. From sassafras roots, tea would be made. The maple sugar sweetened it and it was good. Under the maple trees there was a fireplace which we would use for washing. Large kettles hung by chains over the fire. There were five beech trees around the spring. My father was very fond of the nuts and we children would gather them in the fall and he would reward us by paying us a penny for a given number. TOBACCO HOUSE, TOBACCO GROWING, & "DOG HOUSE". Father's tobacco was always considered as among the very best in the neighborhood. When the tobacco was ripe, they would bring it to the tobacco house on sleds drawn by horses. They would then unhitch the horses, leaving the filled sled, and hitch [the horses] to an empty sled to take back to the field. The stringers (the persons tying the tobacco) would put the tobacco on a table about three feet long and two feet wide). They had a stick about four feet long, twine, and a long needle. After tying one end of the twine to the stick and threading the needle with the other end, they would thread the needle and twine through the stem of the tobacco. Then it was pushed up as far as possible. When the sticks were full, they were tied to horizontal pieces on top and between posts which were in long rows placed grape arbor fashion. These horizontal pieces were placed just far enough apart to leave the yard sticks to hang free. The first filled sticks would be tied at the top of the house. It was great fun to play hide and seek between the full rows of strung tobacco. In the middle of the dirt floor a "flue" was built. This ran the full length of the house and was covered over the top. It was made of stone and bricks. At the end they pushed in long logs. This kept burning for two or three days. Close to the tobacco house was built a little shack of logs. It was equipped with straw and old quilts. The ones attending the fire in the tobacco house would sleep there. This was called the "dog house". At first Father himself would tend it, not trusting the boys. Afterwards the boys would do it. The neighbor boys would come in and they would have watermelon. They told how they would catch chickens, kill, clean, and cook and eat them there. Gypsum weed grew on the place. The stem sometimes was as big as my wrist. The tobacco blower, a kind of butterfly, laid its eggs on this weed. The worms hatched from these eggs ate the tobacco leaves. Father would give us pennies for catching these large, ugly worms. They could be caught best about sundown. LOG BARN. This was built on the hill to the north of the house. The part next to the house had the stables, with enough room for ten or twelve horses. On the other side there was a sawed board floor. Feed and hay were kept there. The mow was only of logs close enough together to hold the hay. Here the chickens would make their nest. By my time, the logs were pretty shaky. NEW BARN. In the fall of the year that Father died [1866], he was gathering timber for a new barn. On December third, he died. The boys got the barn started as early in spring as the weather would permit. When the first floor was laid, all the young folks had a party there. I suppose it was on a Sunday because they would be working through the week. They built it during the summer and it was ready to put hay into it at harvest. The lower part was high enough to drive a carriage under and that is where they kept it. A bridge went across the upper part under which they drove the carriage. Aaron FRAME, chief carpenter, said when it was finished that "it was the biggest barn and the highest in the county". CHANGES BY THE PURCHASER. The purchaser of this place tore down the old brick house. He used the old bricks to build a new house on the site of the old log barn. NEW SAWED BOARD HOUSE. This was located on the hill to the south of the old brick house. Grandfather Joel DOUDNA built this house of sawed boards. They piled the boards one on top of each other to make the walls. The partitions were made the same way. Inside it was plastered. There were five rooms. On the outside, the boards were not even, [and] they allowed for a toe-hold. From the porch we could climb up that wall by using these cracks. There were fireplaces in the sitting room and in the room where Grandmother and Grandfather slept. MORE DEATHS IN THE FAMILY: When Uncle John DOUDNA's wife [Mary (Bundy) Doudna] died, he was left with several small children, including little Walter, who was only a few [months] old. Aunt Eunice [DOUDNA] told John that if he could get along with the older children, she would take the baby to Grandfathers and take care of him there. She was not in very good health. She arrived at Grandfathers house one night about nine o'clock. She had come from Chesterfield on hack, boat, and train to Goshen County. She slept in the room next to next to Grandmothers'. Grandmother heard her in the night and after inquiry found out that she was up fixing the baby's bottle. The next morning she did not arise when the others did, so they thought she was tired from her travel. After awhile someone went in her room and found her dead [Eunice was only twenty-eight years old]. MEDICATION APPLIED TO A CRUSHED THUMB. During threshing, my right thumb was crushed. My father made splints for it, and put them around the thumb joint. Then he put sugar and camphor on it and wrapped it. This was not changed, as I remember, unless it was to put on a clean outside wrapper. I was about ten years old. The joint was left deformed, but entirely useable. JUNE FROST. As I remember this, it was in the first part of June. It killed all the corn except a few stalks that were growing under the trees. It must must have been as high as my head. Not enough being left for Father to gather, we children would take our wagons and wheelbarrows and gather the ears of corn which grew to maturity on the stalks under the trees. After the frost, the sun came out and laid it low and turned it black. This must have been in 1860 as the Civil War came the next year. We had some greening apple trees. These apples were very much in demand in Barnesville for apple butter. These apples were killed. We also had a row of "neverfail" apples which we generally did not use or pay any attention to except to let the hogs eat them. The year of the frost the "neverfail" apples were the only ones that were not killed. We took very good care of those apples from this time on. Written by Lucinda Bundy Hanson Daughter of Chalkley Bundy & Sarah (Doudna) Bundy Granddaughter of Joel Doudna & Rebecca (Hodgin) Doudna Richmond, Virginia Feb. 12, 1942 _____________________ Recaps and additional data: LUCINDA BUNDY HANSON, author of the above article (from "The Little Home Histories In Our Early Homes, Belmont County, Ohio", pages 31 thru 34), was born Sept 11, 1850, the fourth child of Chalkley BUNDY and his first wife, Sarah (Doudna) BUNDY. Lucinda's paternal grandparents were William and Sarah (Overman) BUNDY; her maternal grandparents were Joel and Rebecca (Hodgin) DOUDNA. She married Benjamin H. HANSON on Mar 9, 1870 and over the next thirteen years they had six children. At the time she wrote this article she was about 92 years of age. ~~~~~~~~~~ WILLIAM HODGIN (1766 - 1820), in 1811 built what was believed to be the first brick house in Warren Township, Belmont County, Ohio. William and his wife, Agnes (Childre) DOUDNA (Abt. 1768 - 1841), were the great-grandparents of the author of the above article, Lucinda (Bundy) HANSON. Married in Richmond County, Georgia Dec 11, 1787, William, Agnes, and their seven children were received at the Concord Monthly Meeting, Belmont County, Ohio in June of 1803. At least three more children were born to the couple in Ohio. Generations: William and Agnes were the great-grandparents of the author of the above article, Lucinda Bundy HANSON. They were also my 4th great- grandparents, as follows: William HODGIN & Agnes Childre-7, Joel DOUDNA & Rebecca Hodgin-6, William BUNDY, JR. & Asenath Doudna-5, Thomas Clarkson BUNDY & Rachel E. Crew-4, John Malvern WINSLOW & Elva Eugenie Bundy-3, Malvern John WINSLOW & Mary Louise Thompson-2, Judith LynneWinslow (Alberts)-1. ~~~~~~~~~~ REBECCA E. DOUDNA BUNDY. This was probably the aunt of the writer, Lucinda (Bundy) HANSON. Lucinda's mother, Sarah, had a younger sister named Rebecca who was just six years older than Lucinda. This aunt, Rebecca DOUDNA (1844-1911), married William E. BUNDY in 1864. ~~~~~~~~~~ BILL STARKY (a man who broke the stones used to build Chalkley BUNDY's milk house "by and partly over the spring.") ~~~~~~~~~~ REBECCA D. BUNDY STANTON (younger sister of the author, Lucinda Bundy HANSON, who fell into the spring and was pulled out by her heels. Rebecca (1853-1926) grew up to marry Daniel E. STANTON.) ~~~~~~~~~~ AARON FRAME (chief carpenter for the "new" Chalkley BUNDY barn, which was put into service for the harvest of 1867, about a year after Chalkley's death. When the barn was finished, Aaron said that "it was the biggest barn and highest in the county.") ~~~~~~~~~~ JOHN DOUDNA (1832-1898) was an uncle of the author, Lucinda Bundy HANSON, being her mother Sarah's younger brother. John's wife, Mary BUNDY (1834-1868), died at the age of 34, leaving him with seven children. The youngest, Walter, was just three months old. Another of John's sisters, EUNICE DOUDNA, cared for baby Walter for two months. But then Eunice died suddenly in her sleep. She was just 28 years old. ~~~~~~~~~~ Kinship of CHALKLEY BUNDY: Chalkley BUNDY (1823-1866) was the brother of my 2nd great-grandfather, William BUNDY, Jr. (1819-1905). He was, therefore, my 2nd great-granduncle. JLA 9/15/98 Kinship of SARAH DOUDNA BUNDY: As the wife of Chalkley BUNDY, Sarah (DOUDNA) Bundy (1824-1862) was my 2nd great-grandaunt. She was also my 2nd great- grandaunt by virtue of the fact that she was the sister of my 2nd great- grandmother, Asenath DOUDNA (wife of William BUNDY, Jr.). In other words, the BUNDY brothers married the DOUDNA sisters. JLA 9/15/98 ~~~~~~~~~~ Sources: (1) "The Little Home Histories", pages 31-34.
