road and a little south of the old
home house, which has been razed
and replaced by new one-the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Hanch-
er. A son Levi sleeps there, but his
grave is unmarked. Another son
William lived and died and is bur-
led in one of the western states.
Two daughters, Mrs. j. K. Paxton
whose story we told in our Melgs
cemetery story and Jane Hancher,
mother of Mrs. J. B. Shell and W.
d. Hancher, sleep there. BY lit
tie figuring we find that in 1872
years the Robinson family has gone
into the fifth generation, and the
first and second generations have
all passed on.
VIM Hempfeld was here in the
early days, helping to build the
dams and locks on the Muskingum.
The Hempfields were parents of a
large family, and they all married
except one who died before he got
to it. They all separated from their
wives and husbands except one (the
one not married not included in the
COUNT. The family or rather fam
lilies all left the township except the
Thomas Hempfield family. One son
George died in the summer OF
1881. Mary, who was the wife of
Jesse Gibbs, died several years ago.

Ike arrived three score and eight

Ike, than any other resident. He is
an educated man, having read ev-
erything from the fall of Pompeii
to the platform he wrote himself,
but couldn't get the Democrats to
seize and acclaim him the Great
High Priest And Ike slipped from
the Democratic band wagon and
boarded "The Ohio Rambler" with
visions of fish and free rides in the
cabin of this enclosed bus. Ike
thought he was dry, very dry, in
fact so dry he cracked his relation
with the party of his forefathers
and now he is out in the cold. But

Somewhere we have a list of
names of folks who lived in Bristol,
and now there is no one of that
name left. The list was made from
memory While we have not added
the ones we have found since writ
ing this story, we are sure we have
written many Of them that are not
in our. list. and perhaps some that
are in the list: Adams, Ashton, Bar
clay Jones, Johnson, Mercer, Nc
Grath, Robinson Shuster, Sealock,
Gray, Easlick. Vanoster Gallon,
Shook, Mcfarland. Sprague, Pax
ton, Mcdonald, Matson, King, An
drews, Ped cord, Ellis, Cunningham,
Crow, Hooper, Iou5iey. Phillips,
Piper, Rush, Drummond Leland.
Mohler, Murdoch. Torbert, Long
fellow and that brings us back to
an incident we have spoken of but
could not think of the name, so we
will repeat the story A family by
the name of Longfellow lived on
the farm now owned and occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. ]. W. Parmiter,
former John Mcdowell farm. Their
house stood south of the present
residence, out on the bluff by the
fence We want to speak of this
fence later One of the Longfellow
boys attempted to ride a youn &
horse which threw him One Of his
brothers rushed in and told the
mother that the boy was killed,
when the mother dropped and was
thought to be dead. But here is
the funny part of the story. On the
day of the funeral drops of sweat
stood on her face, and many thought
she was not dead-but they buried
her, and the story is still told
Back in the December % is
sue we were made to say Hattie
Walker when We meant to say
Waller Mrs. Waller is cousin of
our mother and aunts Mrs. r. V.
Chambers and Mrs. ]. D. Brothers.
Here are a few notes taken from

here to say that Mr. Robinson's
wife died while they lived in the
west, after which he and his
daughter Mamie came back to the
old home farm. She was born Aug
