The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-12-04

About 65 years ago there was O small
congregation of Disciples of Christ, or
Christians, organized as a church in
canton, but / have not been able to
nnd any records in regard to the same
can remember that Alpheus Brown
and the late John Koons were among
their number. They had no house of
Worthip, but held most of their meet
ings in the old court house. which was
built in 1915, and also in private houses
While living in Massillon from 1910
to 1S49 the late Rev. Alexander Camp
bell, of Bethany, w. Va, came there
and preached in the old Christian
church Of that town upon several oc-
cas'ons. and / was told he had also
stopped at Canton. When moved back
to Canton in 18i9 the little Disciple
church had disbanded and very soon
after the organization of the Baptist
church in Canton, Deacon Daniel Grace,
who had been here with the Disciples,
cast his lot in with us and was one of
the best men we had among us. He re-
mained a faithful member until his
death in 1876.
A few years after the organization of
the Baptist church in Canton in 1S49,
this present Disciple church was organ
ized-I should think about 1851 or 1852,
and very soon thereafter the brick
house of worship, as illustrated, was
built. 1t stood on the southeast corner
of South Cleveland avenue and Sew
cnth street on the lot now occupied by
our city hall. 1t was a good. plain. but
substantial brick house, 36x50 and
would seat about 800 people. But have
rot been able to find any record among
them of the early organizers. / know
that John Koons was one of them.
also think that his brother-in-law,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-12-04

John Correll of Plain township, was
one of the constituent members of the
second organization. In the early his
tory of the present church were several
of the Littles, the Owens, George
Prince, ID. ltisher and wife. and Mrs.
Allison Dunbar but whether they were
constituent members or not, l have not
teen able to find out.
After their house of worship was COM
pleted. more than forty years ago, they
had some able ministers and visitors
Among them was the late James A.
Garfield quite well remember hearing
him in that house before he waa gem
orally known to the nation as a great
and honest politician. / do not think
Rev. Alex. Campbell visited Canton
since the present organization. He
may have done so, but am of the opin :
ion that all his visits here were during
the first organization and before they
had house of wor hip of their own.
Alexander Campbell died March 4, 1866.
and had not travelled much for several
years before his death.
During the rebellion, from 1861 to '65,
the congregation became quite weak.
but kept up regular meetings. In 1866
Rev. S. Chapman came to Canton and
took the pastorate of the congregation
and reorganlZed with about twenty
members, and very soon thereafter
they began to prosper and thus con-
tinued until they occupy a good stand
ing among the churces in Canton today.
Not long after the time above refer
red to. the city desired to purchase their
property, as it was then contemplated to
build the fine city hall that now stands
on said block of lots, and 1t was quite
desirable that they have the corner
that was owned and occupied by the

NOT A CENT FOR
KREYER ADMIR-.
Jury Concluded WOman's Death
Was Due to Carelessness.
I'VE FIND FOR THE DEPENDANT
The Verdlct-rrial Was Expensive For the
County Termination of $4,000
suit Against the q. l.. & W. Ry.
Co. Frlda, Afternoon.

1--WE find for the defendant was the
vital part of the verdict rendered FRI!
day afternoon at $40 o'clock when the
jury reported in the damage suit tried
| in Judge McCarty's court.
At the reconvening of court in the af-
ternoon, the judge charged the jury and
it retired for consultation little before
2 o'clock. The jury was an hour reach
ing a verdict.
The action was brought. by the ad-
ministrator of the late Frances Kreyer,
of Massillon, against the c. l.. & ".
Railway company for $4,000 damages
for the death of Mrs. Kreyer. On Janu-
ary 10, last she was killed by c. L. s;
w. engine while crossing the track in
Massillon, at street intersection.
There was draw1gate there. The
claimants for damages set up the argu-
ment that the railway company was
negligent because the gate had not been
properly lowered when the woman at
tempted to cross the track.
On the part of the company it was
alleged that all proper precautions had
been taken, and that the woman had
persisted on going on the track even af-
ter the gates had been lowered, and
that her own carelessness contributed
to her death.
The attorneys for the railway COM
pany asked the court to submit to the
jury the question as to whether the
gates We're down at the time the woman
was killed. In addition to the verdict
for the railway company, the jury
found that the gates had been lowered
when the woman went upon the track
Under these circumstances, no damages
could be recovered, it was claimed.
1t was an expensive trial A larga
| number OF witnesses were summoned on
both sides. and the attorneys made o
strong fight all through tho case. The
arguments We're said to have been
especially eloquent
Attorneys Grant and Agler conducted
the case for the administrator. j. NJ
Lcsilick, attorney for the railway COM
pany, and Mcssrs. Willison and Day
were for the defense. ..

ATTACK ON THE
IMPERIAL CITY
Described By aCantOn Boy With
Fourteenth Regiment.
INTERESTING EXPERIENCES
w. II. KCating In Hottest Part of Great
Battle Stornipg the wa,ls-The
March From Tisn sin
to Peking.

Some interesting experiences are re-
lated by w. f. Heating, of company j.,
Fourteenth United States infantry,
concerning the movements of the
United States troops, together with the
other foreign troops, in their occupation
of Peking, China.
Mr.. Keating, in a letter to his brother,
Thomas Keating of 223 North Walnut
street. says in part:
Peking. China, Oct. 10, 1900.
Dear Brother Tom:-With little
time to spare, 1 take pleasure in writing
you again. and will try to explain to you
some of the more interesting expert
ences we have had since we arrived on
Chinese soil.
First of all, l want to tell you that
so far / have pulled through without
scratch and am feeling fine. 1 don't
believe this trouble could have been
exaggerated much by the papers. for we
have had fighting here that has been
pretty warm. The 'Chinos' are h for
fighting. but we gave them h, too,
you bet.
I'VE left Tien Tsin on August 4 and
arrived at Peking on August ia dis
tance Of ITO miles We walked all the
way.
ION the 9th of August, the day we
had the big fight-I thought it was all
up with me. 1t was an experience
long to be remembered. Shells came
thick and fast, and, it seemed we were
in the midst of them. The fight lasted
for hours.
I'VE lost 54 killed and wounded,
among them one OF my best chums was
killed. However, when we got to the
walls of Peking we got some satisfac-
tion.
I'VE got to the walls on the 18th OF
Augustine taking was ON the Ia. The
fight began on the 18th at 8 p. m. and
continued for 22 hours. We planted Old
Glory on the walls at 4 p. m. on the
18th, and charged through the city to
the legation at 5 p. m.
eve left the streets strewn with dead
and wounded Chinese. There must
have been $4,000 killed in this engage
ment. We then had to take the I'm
perial city.
1--WE again took the walls and opened
on the Chinos at p. m, on the 18th,
fighting all night long. At daybreak
we were just preparing our breakfast
when the Chinos opened fire on us.
We were compelled to get under cover
and took refuge behind the walls. From
this point we poured volley after volley
into them. 1t was too hot for the
Chinos and they soon gave ground.
Then we advanced until we had taken
the palace.
I'VE had to go through four walls
35 feet high and 120 feet wide-but the
artillery had trained heavy guns on the
gates and they soon succumbed to the
onslaught. Going through the first
gate we had 22 killed and wounded.
At the second gate we got the Chinos
on the run and the rest was easy.
"When we got to the fourth wall we
raised the old flag and a yell at the
same time. ! have thought, perhaps,
you heard II In Carton, Ohio. We then
camped and got something to eat. We
had not had foor for ss hours and. of
course, you can imagine about how we

good price, and waI accepted.
The church then purchased the lot
they now occupy on Ninth and Dewalt
streets and very soon thereafter erected
the very neat and modern style church
cdifice they now'occupy, and have been
growing and enlarging their influence
ever since.
After Rev. S. Chapman, they had quite
u number of ministers up to the present
time, among whom were Revs. Ingram,
William Hayden, Joseph Ross, Hensyl-
man, w. A. Watkins, r.. G.. White. John
IL. Pounds, Il. II. Black, G. G.. Brelos,
II. F.. Lutz and their present pastor.
Rev. G. A. Hill. There may have been
q few others that do not occur to me,
and 1t is quite possible that the order
, in which they are arranged is not quite
accurate, but 1t is as near as ] am able
to fix them without proper record
Their present pastor. Rev. c. A. Hill
has the reputation of being a careful
and earnest worker, and their condition
is as prosperous now as at any time in
their history.
Two of the pastors above named went
from here to Pennsylvania, Rev. r. G.
White to Washington, Pa, and Rev. II
+. Lutz to Harrisburg. Pa, and it Is
my impression that Rev. e. G.. Brelos
went from here to Findlay, o., Rev. ].
Il. Pounds went to Cleveland, and
from there to Indianapolis, Ind.
Thus the workers in all our churches
go in different directions, and can only
wish that all of every name be loyal

sured that though heaven and earth
pass away Gods word shall not pass
away.
