Hartle While in the cellar he point
ed out the base of huge chimney,
with fireplaces upstairs, and he said:
There is enough stone in that
chimney to build house" Then he
pointed to the floors overhead. They
were the floors for the first floor of
the house, and made of hand hewn
logs, laid side by side. 1t is pos
sible that originally there was no
! board flooring above this, for the
cracks between the logs are filled
with small stones, and no doubt at
one time finer particles on top seal
ed the cracks quite well. But now
the stones are falling out, and Mr..
Hartle removed as many as he could
to keep them from falling on some
ones head.
Out in the wash house, which is
very old building too, built over
spring, there in a pioneers" stair
way: a stout ladder built into the
structure, leading almost straight up
through a trapdoor into the second
floor
Mr.. Hartle said one thing that
would no doubt be of interest to
science. Every time there in thun-
der storm, the lightning strikes all
around the buildings. Several barns
have been thus destroyed, and num-
erous trees.
Out away from the buildings are
some interesting features. The place
in on the south banks of the Little
Antietam Creek. AS has been said
before in these columns, this area is
rich in relics of the great Indian oc-
cupancy. Above this house, and near
the stream, once could be seen the
remains of several mounds. In the
days of Mr. Hartle's youth, these
mounds could be seen plainly, but
they have disappeared by now so
completely that Mr.. Hartle said he
didn't think we would be able to find
the place Near these mounds were
also hollow places, but these too
have disappeared
Once, a number of years ago, Mr..
Hartle had a hired boy blowing in a
field along the stream. The boy
struck a spot where there were many
arrowheads, and he began to pick
them up, placing them in a pocket
of his trousers Il can't imagine any
one who would not save them). The
boy kept finding more points each
time he made a round and passed
through this spot He stopped to
tell Mr.. Hartle about his find, and
showed the bullying pocket. The
owner of the farm knew how hard
the stone is that was used for max
ing these points, so he suggested
that the points had probably
scratched the boys leg open. They
looked, and found not only scratches
but bleeding that had run down to
the boys shoe.
Mr.. Hartle traces his ancestory
back through his father, Levi; his
grandfather, George, born 1888, who
bought the farm with the main part
of the house already on it in 1888
from Jacob and Henry Baer; great
grandfather, Sebastian; end great
great-grandfather, George, who i'm

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Here are a few more interesting
facts about the old owners of
Mount Cressap," the fine old home
near Paramount known long as the
lehman Place and one of the finest
historic homes of the County, des-
cribed several weeks ago in this
column.
The grandfather of Jacob B.
Lehman was Peter Leman, born near
Lake Geneva, in Switzerland. He
came to America because of Re-
ligious persecution in 1717, and set
tied at Lancaster Here he bought
and established the home that has
ever since been known as the Leh-
man Homestead. Note that the spell
ing of the name had changed.
A son of this Peter Lehman, nam
ed John, was known as the Hunter"
He often went through this area on
his way to Virginia and made 1t
custom to stop at Col. Cresap's stone
fort Thus he became well acquaint-
ed with the beautiful land lying
along the Marsh Run and we find
that his son later came here and
bought part of this tract of Long
Meadows. John, the hunter, learn
ed the language of the then present
Indians and was always on the most
friendly terms with them.
It was Johns son, Jacob B., who
first came here to live. He must
have also visited this section, for he
married a Waynesboro girl, Bar
bara Funk, who lived short dis
tance out of Waynesboro toward
Greencastle. This couple took a
notable wedding trip. They went
TO Lancaster on horseback and on at
least one day, the new Mrs. Lehman
was obliged to hold an umbrella
overhead all day long because of a
steady rain; a wedding trip beneath
wet umbrella! Shortly after their
marriage, they returned to this sec
ton and bought the splendid old
home just below Long Meadows, as
was described recently, fine stone
house and Ala acres of good farm
land, from Joseph Gabby, trustee
for the Rench heirs. The place was
later owned by their son, Abraham
Lehman, married to Anna Stouffer.
And the last of this family to live
ON this home was Abraham Leh-
mans daughter, Mrs William Blink
ley, now residing in Hagerstown,
who still loves the old place.
One day while driving through the
County hunting for some interest
ing-looking old places, I happened
upon another old house, this one
near Leitersburg. Here lives Mr..
George Hartle, the present owner,
born at the close of the Civil War.
Mr.. Hartle is very interesting man
to talk to about the old days, and he
gladly showed me some things about
the old house.
First, as was usual in old houses,
the walls are thick; at least twenty
six inches. In the cellar, Mr.. Hartle
showed me baby footprints in ce-
ment plastering on wall, that he
says have been there for over a
hundred years, made by Theodore
