Historical Sketch.

G.. G.. Gollmar was born in Meinigen
Wittenburg, about two miles from
Stuttgart, Germany, Dec. 13, 1928. He
came to America when very young
with his parents, who were among
nine families that settled at Cleveland,
Ohio. For six days these Germans,
who could not speak word of Eng
lish, camped in an old tan bark shed,
which stood on the flats near the river
in Cleveland. The English speaking
people considered the Germans as
heather and their lot was not easy for
a time. They finally secured an inter-
prefer and were all provided with
work. Mr.. Gollmar's father purchas-
ed farm Of so acres in Liverpool
township, Medina Co., about "A miles
from Cleveland.

The Verdict.

We the jury find that we have a
reasonable doubt of the sanity of
the defendant at the time of the
commission of the offense set forth
in the information and we there
fore find him not guilty.
We also find that the defendant
has not recovered from such in
sanity and that he is not now of
sound mind.

What an Eruption Will Do.

The eruption in April 1905 covered
an extensive area with rocks and lava.
In places the railway now passes
through ravine of her deposit.
Houses many miles distant, were
buried with the unfortunate who per-
ished in them. Some of these dwellings
are now being uncovered. Yet they
continue to till the fields and fill
again the places of those
who met death so recently, SEEM
ingly unmindful of the repeated
fatal lessons of the worlds most de-
structive furnance. Not only isIthis
true, but to my surprise, the people of
that endangered vicinity do not look
with unwelcome upon an eruption.
How feeble and yet how peculiarly un
yielding human being is!Born in this
community. not having seen and hay
ing little knowledge of any other,
with more or less poverty, with little
education, they have become en-
trenched in the pursuits of those who
preceded them, and hence live on
from year to year within the shadow
and smoke of the awful Vesuvius be-
meath whose impassioned flame they
may any moment be engulfed. 8
Fruit growing is the chief industry,
and the vineyards receive much care
and improvement. The grapes grown
here should receive special mention.
An eruption spreads a considerable
depth of ashes for miles around, which
they claim as fertilizer has no equiv
alent. Accordingly their cropIfor this
year is one of the best ever produced.
Hence they have faith in the saying
that "It is bad wind that does not
blow somebody good" and they. feel
that the pecuniary advantage obtained
is sufficient compensation for the
human sacrifice from time to time
claimed by Vesuvius.

Mrs. Hawley in Court.

Just as soon as the state had finish
eel its argument today, Mrs. A. S.
Hawley, wife of the defendant and
who was severely injured on the morn
ing of Oct. Is, appeared in court fol
the first time and took seat by the
side of her husband. She looked as if
nothing had happened and her. pres
ence there 70 doubt showed that she
wanted her husband free again. It is
said hat Hawley has visited his home
several times since the crime and no
doubt the mind of his wife has chang
ed since the time she was nearly beat
en- to death.

Blacksmith Apprentice.

Mr.. Gollmar hired out as a black
smith apprentice to man in Sandus-
ky, when he was IA years Of age. In
those days the time was not SO short
as it is now. Sixteen hours made a
day, and all lost time was made up.
During the summer the days lasted
from sunrise to sundown; during the
winter the days work was not ended
until o'clock in the evening. He
served his apprenticeship from 1889 to
1843. He then went to Chicago to
work for Weber & Gauch. This firm
was the beginning of the Weber Wag-
on company. They ran the shop a
year or so, when they were unable to
get the woodwork ironed. Conse-
quently they started blacksmith
shop and Mr.. Gollmar was their first
blacksmith.

provided nothing particular in the
way of celebration, yet the event is
decidedly more noteworthy than the
fiftieth wedding anniversary, and il is
a distinction that comes into the eX-
perience of very few families.
Children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren, DIN all were present last
evening at the six o'clock dinner
which was served. The tables, filled
to oyertlOwing with various kinds of
meats and all kinds of other delicacies,
were decorated with carnations, chry-
santhemums, and roses, together with
tasty arrangements of green foliage.
Two double vases of cut glass were fill
ed with the different flowers which
had been sent and brought by the
children and grand children. Upon
the white curtains of one of the dining
room windows were hung the figures
@'60' in large golden letters. Through
out the several rooms festoons of red
and green were gracefully hanging.
From these at intervals depended red
bells.
