"On my fathers side I can only
reach back to his father, my grand
father, whose name was Cornelius
Broadwater. He emigrated from
England, but in what town or locality
he was born l do not know. He mar
ried Mary Piper, who likewise emf
grated from England, and they had
eight children, four sons and four
daughters, all of whom were born in
LOudon county, Va, about six miles
below Leesburg, near Carriers mill.
They all moved to Allegany county
about the years 1907 to 1871.
my father moved from Loudon
county, Va, in the year 1907, and
settled on the place now owned by
Marcus Fazenbaker, Jr. Here he lived
one year, then moved to Savage River,
and after living there two or three
years moved to Mud Lick Bottom,
where he died August 5, 1859. He
had twelve children.
"My wife's grandfather, Jacob Sig
Ter, also came from Loudon county,
with two brothers and sister. His
brother married a Miss James and
moved to Ohio, but the other brother
moved to Cumberland, to become a
preacher and he married me and my
wife.
Grandfather Sigler had two
daughters come to this county. One
married John Michaels, who owned
the farm now occupied by his grand
son, Charles Michaels. The stone
house in which they now live was
built in 1906 The other married
Peter Neph and lived on a plantation
near Morrison's Mill, on Georges
Creek, and is called Neph farm.
Grandfather Sigler settled on farm
now owned by the Franklin Company
near the Franklin mines.
my sons all married farmers
daughters and my daughters all mar

daughters are all living in Garrett

change it has been since I first settled
here sixty-fve years ago, when there
were no roads except a path to the
National road, and no houses. In the
first house built in Wolf Swamp lived
Adam Spiker who married Annie
Reckner. The first settler in New
Germany was William Weitzell. This
county was mostly all woods when I
first came here, but the most of it is
improved, and the early settlers who
lived around here are all gone"

Statutes and Songs
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

Psalm 1854: "Thy statutes have
been my songs in the house of my
pilgrimage"
Statutes and songs-what strange
words to couple together! Statutes
suggest duty, compulsion, restraint;
songs suggest freedom, liberty, I'M
hampered happiness. How can anyone
be moved to sing by the thought of
laws which limit his freedom? AS well
expect the convict to sing about his
ball and chain as mortal man to sing
about the commands and ordinances
of God!
Nevertheless a deeper understand
ing reveals that statutes and songs
are not incompatible. Every lovely
song, every beautiful musical compo-
sition is governed by rigid rules of
rhythm and harmony. Apparently the
most lawless of arts, music is in fact
the most law-abiding. Music teaches
US that law and liberty, instead of
DelIlS OppOSliGS, are Ill ISdllIy Olle anu
the same thing. Disobedience to the
laws of engineering is punished by the
collapse of a structure wrongly built.
Disobedience to the laws of traffic is
punished by wrecks on the highways.
Disobedience to the laws of health
is punished by physical disease. DISC
bedience to the laws of God is pun
ished by spiritual suffering.
This is the message of every song
the fetterless freedom for which
we yearn can be realized not by rebel
ling against the laws of nature and
the laws of God, but by willing ac-
quiescence and perfect obedience. Our
journey through life will be happier,
and our progress more certain, if we
make Gods statutes our songs in the
house of our pilgrimage.

INTOLERANCE AND DICTA.
TORSHIP

There has naturally been considera-
BILE indignation in the United States
over developments reported from
Germany having to do with racial and
religious differences. The situation
brings to mind the fact that in dicta-
torship, whether it be communist or
otherwise, freedom Of the press and re-
ligious liberty soon go by the boards.
Nearly everyone is young enough to
remember what happened in Russia
when the red dictators got control.
Not only were certain religious orga-
| nizations abolished, but religion itself
has practically been wiped out. There
is no such thing as freedom of the
press or even freedom of thought.
Every man fears his neighbor as a
spy who may send him to Siberia for
expressing an opinion which is not in
line with the policies of the Moscow
government.
In Italy, when Mussolini created a
fascist state, the same thing happened.
Freedom Of the press was abolished
and freedom of thought was endan-
gered too and it was only the over
whelming strength of the Catholic
church which forced the dictator to
make terms with it.
There has been an cutlery in Mexico,
generally country governed by dicta-
tors, about religious persecution, and
now from Germany comes the news of
the curtailment of religious freedom
by the government. Freedom of the
press has long since gone.
The lessons for America are not
hard to find. We may become indig-
nant, but we cannot, of course, inter
fere with the internal affairs of anoth-
err country That is the business Of
the people of that country, although
we can always hope that they proceed
in an atmosphere of freedom and
tolerance.
But the affairs of the United States
are the business of our people. 1t is
no accident that the rise Of dictator
ship is always accompanied by the
abolition of the press and by the cur
tailment of racial and religious free
dom. That always happens and it will
always happen so long as the people
set up dictators to do their thinking
and their leading.
There has been a tendency in the
United States toward a centralizing
of power in Washington. This can
only mean greater bureaucracy, and
less liberty. No matter how good and
kind we may think our present rulers
to be, the very moment our govern
ment of the States evolutes from
constitutional control into a dictator
ship we may expect at least the de-
struction of freedom of the press and
the ending of religious freedom. Those
of US who believe in a free and I'M
trammeled press, and those who be-
lieve that we should be permitted to
worship God according to the dictates
of our own consciences, regardless of
creed or race, should always keep these
facts in mind. Dictatorship means not
only centralizing the power of govern
ment in the hands of one man or one
group of men. 1t spells also the end
of freedom of the press and religious
liberty. Persecution and repression
always follow. The lessons of the past
few years are before US. Let US not
forget them.
