My story has not been all romance,
and it IS with feeling Of selfshnes, that
! part from Those Of my characters who
are with IA In the flesh today and whose
hands have held In mine within tho
last twelyemonth. At tho opening of
my story Winchester was described as
quaint old town. That was true ~ it
a quaint old town Of quaint houses and
streets and people War wrecked it
again and again. Every street and
square and alley witnessed death Crap
pie. Every bpilding which escaped the
flames was marked by ball or bullet. A
few months ago looked in vain for
trace Of war. Here and there a quaint
old house still stands, but the town il
full Of the hustle Of these rushing DAYS.
All, but there was trace Of war after
all. Up in the cemetery skirted by the
Berryville pike found grave after grave
in which soldiers slept their last long
sleep, each name engraved on the stone,
ana behind them the pitiful spot over
which all may sorrow, but no one weep
the resting place Of the unknown. "
1t was many days ere Kenton or Mar
ian or Mrs. Baxter walked in the sun

General Custer kindly sent her on to
Washington for treatment, and for weeks
and weeks she kept calling ont:

Where is Uncle Ben? Como to his rest
years ago, but he lived to see the end of
the war and to enjoy for a season the
haven of rest which kind hearts created
for him.
There was marriage in Winchester

couple spent the earlier part Of their un-
married life in Litchfleld county, Conn.
There nine of their ten children were
born.
The father first came to Ohio, peddling
clocks. He must have been charmed
with this wilderness, for he went back
home and soon returned with his son,
William, to prepare a home for the rest
Of the family, moving them here in June
1888, except Almira, his oldest daughter,
who was married and settled in home
Of her own in COlebrOok, Conn.
They did not travel as we do at present.
They came from Albany to Buffalo on
canal boat, and from there to the mouth
OF Black river Tor LOrain at the present
day on Lake Erie. The site he selected
for his home was in the north east part
of this township, on the farm known as
the Shaw farm.
There are two remarkable things
which may be said ofsthis family. First,
they were never all tOgdther at any time.
Second, the oldest daughter and youngest
son we're never together but twice
in their lives. Miles, the youngest son,
was born after coming to Ohio. In 1855
the parents paid visit to their native
state, While there the mother was
takensickand died at the age Of flftynine.
She was buried there. The father came
back to Ohio and lived few years here,
but finally returned to spend the remain.
| ing years Of his life in the state of his
birth. He died in 1866.
