We see the Muskingum county
! schools are to open at p. m. when
we go to saving time, according to
the News"
In work last week, we stopped al
the d. F.. Morris home down in Cen
ter. Mrs. Morris (Merda Robin
/ SOM was raised at OthO and assO-
ciated with Bristol young folks.
Denmar is still husking corn. The
county bridge near their home
which was of wood has been raZed,
and an iron one erected. At the
Grover Townsend home we found
Mrs. Townsend with broken an
kle. 1t seems it will take more
than one broken limb to stop her.
At the Bethel Rex home we found
the son Walls who suffered such a
bad injury seemingly doing nicely.
\ Miss frankie Little was brought
to her home Friday instead OF to
/ her aunt's, as first arranged.
Ross Marshall is a man over in
! Center whose history we had heard
! long before we ever met him. The
\ Marshalls must have been good to
their hired girls. Anyway we have
found that Aunt Libby" didn't ex-
4 aggerate when she called them
! good people.
Bristol Folks, Past and Present
While John Black at one time
taught school in the township, and
Peter Black of GAINESVILLE owned
the Garrett farm on N. 76, we can't
remember of any Blacks being resi-
dents of the township. But when
we change to White we think Of
VIM. H. and family who for time
lived on the now Fanny Lyle farm.
Mr.. White was a Civil war veteran.
Mrs. White was, we believe, a
Kuntz. Later they moved to Meigs-
vile, purchasing a farm now be-
longing to Mrs. Celesta Glenn. The
family is all out of the township
and Clair is the only one in the
county. He and wife (Rosa Jett)
live on state route II, Meigsville
township Phillips is another name
that has gone out William Phil
lips came to Bristol from Bloom.
He owned and lived on the Merwin-
Haines farm for many years. He
was thrice married. His first wife
was a Brothers; the second a
Weeden and the third time he
married Mrs. Bell.
OF his children we remember a
daughter, Frank, who died when
we were a small lad. One son was
named John, but We never knew
him. He went west before we
knew them Eleanor married VIII
son NJ Farra, who owned what is
now the Everett Barkhurst farm
Morgan township. Both are de-
ceased. James and wife. Belle
Chambers, We're longtime residents
Of Bristol When we first remem-
Der them they lived in a house, now
gone, on his fathers farm. They
had the house built now owned by
they vacated when they moved to
New Lexington. Later they moved
near the Olivet church, Windsor
township, where Mr.. Phillips died.
Mrs Phillips went to Stockport,
where she lived for some years.
She was taken i'll and we believe
was brought to the home of her
brother. r. V. Chambers, where her
death occurred. They sleep in the
Meigs cemetery. They had two
daughters who died with diph-
liberia. One daughter, Ella Lee
Hosom. died several years ago. An
other daughter. Launa, whose mar
ried name has slipped our memory,
survives, but lives outside the coun-
ty. We have told of the Blacks
and Whites. Now our mind brings
US to Brown. A family of Browns
owned and lived on the farm near
the old rs Square school house
The farm is now owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. T. V. Ray and son Kenneth c.,
state director of schools.
