Book 8 Page 573. Cousin Kate says Sam Lash married a Getchy & his Aunt Susannah & his wife fought so much that the wife went home. Sam built her another house in which he & she lived & to which his Aunt Susannah had to come, by reason of her enfeebled condition, the last year or so of her life. Kate says Sam Lash still lives in West Newton. She does not recall knowing Cassius Marsh.

The marriage license of parties above shows names as:

Oliver Newton Rotharmel, Cheat [Chest?] Haven Pa & Nellie Marie Jenkins, Gans Pa

Oak Hill July 8k 1923 2 PM

Reading from Book 9 Pages 104 & 105, Cousin Kate says there was Hibbens lived just next to them in West Newton Pa & they were from Uniontown Pa viz James Hibben & two of his sons Samuel & Thomas & they were all wagon makers. Reading to Cousin Kate tonight about the Dunkleberger relatives at Los Angeles Calif, she said she had heard her mother speak of them & said their names were among a raft of names she had down that were entitled to share in the fortune, but she couldn't get Sallie or Emily to look it up for me & feared they had thrown it out or burned it up. 10 PM

Reading from Book 9 Pages 152 & 153 about where Mrs Weddle said on Jany 3d last that her father Abram Fulton lost his money to Cousin Kate, she said her Uncle Dan Rothermel had married Hannah Newlon, sister of Rachel the wife of Abram Fulton, they being daughters of Wm Newlon (not Richard as Mrs Weddle thought) & his wife Keziah Robbins & when Abram lost his money, he appealed to Lizzie, daughter of Dan & Hannah above, who had married "Mike" Haymaker who was rich for help & she wouldn't help


V10 Page 75
them & Kate says her mother was very mad at her niece Lizzie Haymaker because she wouldn't help her Uncle. She says Rachel had three brothers, Brint, Elijah & William.

Brint was a farmer & married a Quaker. Cousin Kate thinks a McGrew. ELijah married Mary Markle, the daughter oldest, she thinks of Uncle Jacob Markle. They lived up at Bradys Bend. William was a doctor & died a bachelor, according to Mrs Weddle at Pacific Grove Calif. See Book 9 Pages 152 & 153. The Haymaker above was he who wanted to marry Hannah Newlon & she wouldn't have him & he later married her daughter Lizzie when he was a 60 yr old bachelor & she was 28 & had Kate says six children. She says when "Rox" Markle Miller died about 8 yrs ago, two of Lizzie's unmarried daughters, who were old, were living over by Newlonsburg in Westnd Co, with a married brother at the old Haymaker home I think.

Reading to Cousin Kate from Book 9 P 157 bottom, she says Nancy Hough told her brother Sam Smith that it was on the Ohio River where Barrett lived with the two Jack girls Nellie & Margaret, one on one side & the other on the other. They sent Sam back to ask her what town, but she didn't know. Kate says when she told me before she didn't know the name of the River, but now remembers that Nancy said the Ohio River.

Reading to Cousin Kate this morning from Book 9 P 287 bottom, she says that the Haymaker who married Lizzie Rothermel (& she married him because she didn't have a home) was "old Mike" as she called him & he had courted & tried to marry her mother, Hannah Newlon (dau of Wm of the Willow Tree) who wouldn't have him. Kate says when he was courting Hannah (who later married her Uncle Daniel Rothermel) his brother was then the husband of a sister of Hannah, evidently John Haymaker who married Ann Newlon. Kate says Ann & Mary ("Polly") who married Joseph Miller were the two older of the Newlon girls "Mike" & Lizzie had six children as Kate has heretofore told me.

I am writing to D.S. Bohrer, North Loup, Neb & am making here notations from some obituary notices he gave me when at his home Jany 17th last, see book 9 pages 294 to 299

From clippings:

No 1. Obituary of Mrs Melissa Markel who was born in Sullivan Tp, Ashland Co O, Sept 6, 1857 & died July 20, 1887, daughter of Mr & Mrs Munholden. She married Frank Markel Dec 5, 1882 & had a son & a daughter. She was a sweet lovely christian woman & was buried from the M.E. Church Orange & buried


V10 Page 77
in the Orange Cemetery. On the same obituary is noted the death a week later of her babe, Ethel May, daughter of (E) Frank & Melissa Markel who died July 27, 1887 aged two months & one day & was buried beside her mother.

No 2. Obituary of Frank Markel

The funeral of Frank Markel was held in the M.E. Church Thursday morning at 10:20 o'c. He had been a great sufferer for years but was jovial, quaint & humorous. It states:

"Ezra Franklin Markel was born in Orange Tp Feby 21, 1848 and died Dec 27, 1910 aged 62 yrs 10 mos & 6 days. Dec 5, 1882, he was married to Miss Melissa Monhollen. Two children were born to this union, Solomon & Ethel May. On July 20, 1887, his wife died & on July 27, 1887, little Ethel's spirit winged its flight out into the great beyond. On May 14, 1889, Mr Markel was united in marriage to Miss Mary D. Swope who nursed & cared for him during the years of his affliction. He was converted four years ago. He leaves a wife, one son Solomon, one grandson, two brothers & one sister. His remains were laid to rest in the Nankin Cemetery beside the loved ones who preceded him many years ago.

We wish to thank the friends & neighbors for their kindness & help during the sickness & death of our beloved husband & father.

Mrs E.F. Markel, S.C. Markel"

No 3 "Israel W. Markel of the 116th Illinois Regiment, died of disease in the hospital at Memphis, Tennessee, on the 30th of January. He was a son of Solomon Markle, a much esteemed citizen of Orange Tp, this County"

Evidently from editorial column early in Civil War

No 4 Obituary

Mrs Annie Arndt Markel who died recently at her home near Nankin was born in Lancaster Co Pa Jany 14, 1834 being the eldest child of Andrew & Mary Arndt, who moved to Ashland Co O. Jacob J. Markel & Annie Arndt were married on Mch 18, 1857. In Mch 1859, the husband left his wife & infant daughters among friends & joined the throng of gold seekers bound for Pike's Peak rtg the same year empty handed. The family moved to Macon Co Ills where they spent 8 yrs. During this period, four children were added to the family. Ill health of both parents & children necessitated a change & in the autumn of 1867, the entire family, the youngest being but six weeks old were placed in a covered wagon & the team headed south, traversing the Southern half of Illinois, crossing Missouri & Arkansas & halting at Jefferson, Texas. Here, team & wagon were disposed of & after a residence of a few months, they went by boat to New Orleans. The bitter feeling against Northerners led them after a brief sojourn to Embark for Cincinnati where they left the boat & reached Ashland Co O, sometime in 1868. On much of this long journey, Mrs Markel drove the team with her babe in her lap & her husband lying sick in the wagon. On Apr 1, 1872, they came to the farm near Nankin where they have since resided & where the youngest child was born. They had lived together over 51 yrs, when a separation came in the death of the husband. She had joined the M.E. Church in 1855 & died Dec 5, 1912 aged 78 yrs 10 mos & 21 days.

Mrs Elizabeth Jane Brown was in this afternoon from 2:15 to 2:40 with her niece, Mrs Welsh at room 522 & speaking of the Brown connection, she had never known of a brother of James M. Brown.

Speaking of her father in law & the Fisher


V10 Page 84
marriages she said on my mentioning the three last girls & who they married that that was correct:

James Brown married Rebecca Fisher

Robert Hagerty married Fisher, her sister

George Bolsinger married Fisher, her sister, his 1st wife

William Moss married Nancy Fisher, her sister

& David Fisher, a brother of above four girls went, she said, to Ohio.

She said that:

Susan Brown, sister of James Brown never married.

Lydia Brown married Worley & had 3 children

Orpha Brown married Henry Black & had children:

1. Taylor, says Chas H. Clack is his son & that he has invented an envelope that cannot be steamed open & had it patented. Also says that he has recently divorced his wife who was Ellazama [Ellazana?] Riffle, daughter of Wm H. Riffle who she says he claimed was only with him four yrs out of 14 of married life.

2. Alex


3. John

4. Sarah


5. Evans, living in Nebraska. Lewis A. Brown of Adah Pa can give his address.

She said James M. Brown, who was a son of Joshua had the following children:

1. Elizabeth

2. Mary


3. Jesse P.

4. Jacob


5. Hester Ann

6. Lydia
V10 Page 85


7. Phoebe

8. Ellen


9. Jane

She named Hester Ann who was not given by Eliza Jane Keener Book 9 0 536 & omitted Clark who Mrs Keener named. She said that:

John Brown, brother of James, her father in law had two children:

1. Elizabeth who married a son of Peter Crago

2. William who married a daughter of Peter Crago

and that:

William Funk also married a daughter of Peter Crago

Samuel H. Moore also married a daughter of Peter Crago

William H. Riffle also married a daughter of Peter Crago.

She said "I will tell you a little circumstance". She then went on to relate that when she was a young 15 yrs old girl, she went with an elderly lady to old Jesse Brown, an old bachelor, brother of her late husband's grandfather, who was seeking a housekeeper & he said to them that he wanted a wife & the moment he married, he would make his wife a deed for his farm. She said he had a good comfortable house on his farm & she had been living in a log cabin & she thought she would just marry him & get a fine home, but she didn't. I said "when then did you marry, when you were "sweet sixteen?" & she said "I married before I was sixteen & he lived 15 yrs after that & I often thought I would have gotten very tired waiting for him to die & advise everyone to marry only for love." I think she scared Sam into proposing. She sd old Jesse got childish & went in broad daylight to take a honey comb from a hive of bees & they stung him so badly that it killed him.

Ed D. Brown said yesterday that his great grandfather had two or three wives or women & had children by all of them & asked me if his grandfather had ever told me anything about them. Said his great grandmother was Jennie? Akers & lived to be nearly 100. I told him that his grandfather, Rev Benj F. Brown had told me she was his mother.

I arranged with Geo W. Brown for him to go with me next week to see Jim Rothermel at Cheat Haven, his wife's nephew & to George Moser's at Rubles Mills who he said is 85 & the best informed man out there. I found Cousin Minnie L. Redburn in bed from a disordered stomach when I was there 5 to 6 PM. Mrs Luther Keck, with her mother, sister & niece came out at 8:11 PM & Luther came at 10 & took them home at 10:33 PM. My scales showed them weighing:

Mrs Margaret Keck of Uniontown Pa 107 lbs

Mrs Edith Lender, her sister of Monessen Pa 89 lbs

Mrs Samuel Smith, her mother of West Newton 98 lbs

Miss Margaret Frances Munnia, her niece aged 6 of Ingram Pa 40 lbs

Miss Kate Smith aged 92 of Dormont Pa 95 lbs

Mrs Augusta Pallini of Oak Hill 114 lbs

Luther Keck of Uniontown Pa 207 lbs

JVT of Oak Hill 193 lbs

Cousin Kate said she wanted to tell me about the Browns & said that Rebecca Rothermel, wife of Jacob who her Cousin Kate Brown sd today had only died a year ago, had told that G. Wash Brown & Rev B.F> Brown were sons of Joshua Brown by a hired girl that lived with him (this was Jennie Akers) who he put in a little house up the mountain & she lived to be about a hundred yrs old. She sd she asked her Cousin Kate Brown today if her father in law had any brothers & sisters except "Wash" & she said "yes, lots of them."

She said too, that Rev B.F. Brown was about to marry a second wife & she demanded that he deed her the farm before she would marry him & he couldn't do that as he had already deeded it to his son Geo W., who I was to see today. However, he went every Saturday night to see her, taking her all manner of things to eat in his buggy each week. I told her about the Daniel Maricle find & that of Frederick Stoever. Speaking of them, she said Gen Joseph Markle said Mrs Stoever was his Aunt & that one of her daughters married a Rohland & the elder Philip Rohland who came out to West Newton had often said that he & Cyrus P. Markle were second cousins.

She said Cyrus Markle of Gasper who was a fine man, had gone with & courted her Cousin Kate Rothermel (now Brown) for several years before they moved to Fayette Co.

Speaking of Daniel Maricle, who I thought was a son of one of great grandfather's brothers, she said her grandmother, wife of Peter Rothermel, had told her that two of the Markle brothers who were fine men, used to come every week to see her father, Capt Conrad Stenger, when she was a young girl. They lived not far above where he lived. I think he had bought great grandfather Casper Markle's farm.

It is now 3:15 AM 26th & I will go to bed. JVT
