that he was in a serious condition.
With two patients, we had no time
to get sleepy. AS we remember,
this was Thursday night, and his
death occurred the following Mon
day night of blood poisoning. AS
we think of those who were here and
helped during his sickness, death,
and funeral, who are gone, we think
Of Willie Sang, who was with us the
first night
Dr. Jewett, the physician, G. w.
Moore, the undertaken, our father
Samuel Ray, who was here when he
died, the son Charley and wife, and
mother Margaret. OF those who at

Mrs VIM. Dewitt, John Gordon, Mr..
and Mrs Chas Wells, Baz Wells,
John Mcdowell, Boyd Mccormick,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. v. Ray, Joe McDow-
ell, and perhaps some whose names
do not appear in our mind at pres
ent.
John I. And Nancy Bozman
Mr. Bozman was born over be-
yond Millgrove. "Nan," as she was
known to all, old and young, was
born near the Campbell bridge,
Bristol township. John came over
to work for grandfather Gordon,
where they found they were to trav-
ell Iife's pathway together. When
we look back to our first memory
of this good pair they were living
with Mrs. BoZman's mother, Lydia
Sang, on the farm which is still
known as the Sang farm Later
they purchased the John Davis farm
which adjoins the Sang farm, where
they moved, Mrs. Sang going with
them, where she continued to live
until her death. Leroy Sang and
family who had resided in the lit
tie house which has given way to
changing conditions moved to the
house vacated by the Bozmans,
where they lived until a few years
before Mr.. Sang's death, when they
moved to McConnelsville. The son
Willie had died few years prev
ious Mrs. Sang lived only a few
years cfter her husbands DEATH
Mary E. Parmiter, daughter of
John and Harriet Atkinson McDow-
ell, at the time of Mr.. Murray's
death lived with her husband, J. w.
and children on Emery ridge Later
they moved in with her brothers,
George and John Mcdowell, where
her death occurred, and that recalls
that We left out the name of George
Mcdowell in our list of deaths. At
ter the death of Mrs. Parmiter. J.
W. went back to his old home on
the bridge, where he lived with his
son and wife,
John Gordon with his wife Eliza
Waller, came to Meigsville township
in 1862, stopping on farm on En-
cry ridge, which we believe is now
owned by Stegner's. Selling it two
years later, they purchased the farm
now owned and occupied by Mrs
Amelia Leland, where his death oc-
Cured in November, 1908. When
the Gordons were married they had
$40 apiece. Grandmother had
worked OUT and out of her
meager wage saved her $40.
Through had work and saving they
accumulated until they owned one
of the best farms in the county. Of
their six children, Mrs. Amanda

Let us stop talking about people
and tell you folks who went tn
school at the Valley Sub-District No.
II that we walked past today, stop
ped and looked around. There is
nothing there to indicate to a
stranger that there had ever been a
school house there. One of the
electric light poles stands directly
in front of where the building stood
where the porch was 10
Gated. Who would ever thought
when Mamie Glenn Neely was the
teacher that electricity would be
wired past the old school building?
Of course there were some very in
pupils learned their ''R's"
there.
