Tor these talks, and 1t may not be
too much oyerdrawn to think that
mayhap they may when they find
what wonderful place Bristol
township is, redecorate the place
live it all over again.
We learn that some of the men
prominent in the affairs of the
township and county made their
mark in the world thus X At the
present time we can think of but
one resident of Bristol township
who uses the X.
There has been revolution in
many things in Bristol township in
the past half century. At this time
our mind goes back to the time
when husk beds were very stylish,
corn husk gathered and split and
stuffed into ticking. These beds
were very comfortable when a
feather tick was placed over them.
The bigger the feather bed the more
comfortable they seemed. But now
we find that to be cultured folk you
must have mattresses. Sometimes
we feel we would rather not be so
''high falutin" and be resting in
the depths of a so pound feather
tick. But the change in style has
knocked the price of feathers. and
even geese eggs won't hatch as they
used to, which leads us on to the
time when in our boyhood we used
to have an encounter with the cross
had plagued and made that way.
Some of our older readers remem-
ber perhaps the lesson in the old
readers, of the boys and the gan
ders, where they used corn stalks as
weapons Those were the days
when every farm had it's quota OF
geese and ganders.
We are in receipt of a list OF
names found in an Ohio album
which belonged to Sarah Tracy,
grandmother of Mrs. Josie Don
myer, New Cambria, Kan. Many of
the folks were not residents of
/ Bristol, but we want to give them
that you may see how the folk of
the early days were associated, and
also that you may help with their
! history. Here is the list as given
by Mrs. Donmyer: Ruth Humphrey
Strong, Bent Farrell, Eli Farrell!
Rose Tracy, DR.. Tracy, Ben Thomp-
son, Elias Browning, VIM. Sargent,

Ady); Miss Tillie Smith. Maggie
Humphrey Murray, Geo. Delany,
Hattie Mummy, Thos. Robt. Smith
and his wife Elizabeth Arnold
Smith. AS we looked them over we
placed many of them as Meigsville
folk. How many of them can you
tell about? Many months ago in
some of our writing we said that
old family Bibles and records were
hiding the history we needed for
our work, and this list of names
only proves that the statement was
correct.
Some of the younger folks think
that all the clearing was done by
the pioneers and that folks of the
present age know nothing of the
art. No doubt some of our readers

The "Sycan,ore'
A Story of Bristol Township Folk
By c. B. RAY
By c. B. RAY

How soon we forget. All through
the years we heard our elders speak
of dad" Tracy. When we wanted
10 write of him and use his Chris
tian nama, we asked folks still our
elders and they couldn't tell us.
We thought we knew, and Eek said
we are right. Andrew Tracy was
no. only pioneer, but man prom
inent in the affairs of the township,
owning and living on the farm now
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Par
miter and their son Harry and his
wife Jessie Ray Parmiter This
farms southern line makes part of
the Bristol-Me'gsville line. There
is an old saying mo house is big
enough for two families" While
this is a large house, it is and has
been occupied by these folks the
past several years, and strangers
could not tell whether Harry is son
c. Jessie daughter, by their actions
But back to the Tracy part of the
history. AT this time we started to
find where Jas. Ady lived. When we
found out we were standing only a
few feet from the house that was
the Ady home in Bristol, which
stands just east of the large cattle
barn on the old Tracy farm. James
Ady married Mary Ellen Tracy, and
they lived in the house mentioned
and farmed for Mrs. Tracy after the
death of Mr.. Tracy. The house
stands today as it was when Occu-
pied by the Adys-that is as to ad-
ditions of subtraction. We learn
the interior is ceiled with walnut
and poplar, wide boards of the nm
est quality. The Adys went west,
and we do not find their footprints
farther on the sands Of time in the
western country. The more we
search the records, and as day by
day new actors in the drama OF
Bristol life come to light and mind,
the more wonderful it seems Men
and women who perhaps never re-
allied the part they played are
looked back to with honor and rev.
erence. The men who held the
school elections, hired teachers, saw.
ed and skimped to get what seems
now a meager pittance to pay the
teachers, and the young men and
women who in the early days taught
the schools, laying the foundation
of the educational life of. the town
ship The men who used their mus
eles to clear the land to cultivate
and harvest, with crude tools OF
those days; who built houses, barns,
churches, school houses, bridges,
and so on-all these have been a
part of the play which is only play
ed once in each new land. Many
of these are forefathers who died
without the applause-the glad
hand. 1t has always been the GUS
tom here to wait until folks die, to
sing their praise.
We have read and heard many in
teresting accounts of a place where
those who live in accordance with
the Divine law are to spend eternity,
whatever that is. If we are so
lucky as to get inside the gates of
the place, we want u Spehu lH0
first twelve or fifteen thousand
years talking with Bristol township
pioneers. While our musical friends
play their harps and sport their
crowns with their many stars, we
will be satisfied, yea it will be
heaven for us, to listen to the story
of Bristol folk as told By them. In
our minds eye see the hundreds
who played here gathering together
