RECOGNIZE GOD

Pity the man who says he has only
himself to thank for the good things
he enjoys! He has health = yes,
because he has taken care of him
self. He has home - yes, because
he saved his money and bought it.
BE has bread yes, because he
earned it. He needs to learn that:
Back of the loaf is the snowy flour;
And back of the flour the mill;
And back of the mill is the wheat
and the shower
And che sun, and the Fathers will. "

1853 A Banner
Year For Negroes
In College Football

Chicago-(ANP)--A the out
set of the 1853 season 1t was sus-
pected in certain quarters that
this would be the greatest season
for tan talent in so-called white
collegiate football competition.
Past seasons may have seen
more outstanding individual per-
formances, but nothing has sur
passed, probably not equaled, the
collective brilliance, Negro play
ers demonstrated this year.
From the anticipated superb
play of Leroy Bolden, the 163-
pound dynamite halfback at
Michigan State, to the surprising
one-two punch of Mickey Bates
and ]. c. Caroline at Illinois, 1t
was Negro headliners all the way.
Four of the best running backs
in the nation were Negroes -
Bates, Bolden, Caroline and Bob
Watkins, OF Ohio State. Caroline
was named on Golfers All-Ameri-
ca team, and was hailed as the
most exciting sophomore often
sive threat since the immortal
Red Grange.
Bates and Watkins were among
the leading scorers in major col
lege competition, registering IL
touchdowns each for Sc points.
Bolden, named the most yalu-
able player for Michigan State,
will lead the Spartans into Rose
Bowl competition with UCLA. He
tailed eight touchdowns.
Another outstanding sophomore
in Big Ten competition was Cal
win Jones, rated the best Iowa
linesman, since Duke Slater. now
Chicago judge. Jones, from
Steubenville, o., was smashing
guard, ferocious in his blocking,
devastating in his tackling. II
not an All-American this year,
OF course Big Ten schools were
crawling with Negro performers
Another back to watch is Dave
Rogers, the Warren. Ohio, sopho-
more at Indiana.
Jones had several outstanding
teammates at Iowa, John Hall,
tackle; Frank Gillian. end, and
Eddie Vincent. halfback.
Michigan State had Ellis
Duckett and John Lewis, ends;
Jim Ellis and Bugs. halfback.
At Michigan. Robert Walker, a
tackle, beset by injuries of the
season, turned in his most cap
able performance late in the cam
paign.

Moses Horton came all the
way from Ireland to choose a
home and establish the town of
Summerfield and all the sons
and daughters of the town thus
founded readily agree that he
chose wisely and that Summer
field is still the GARDEN SPOT
OF THE WORLD. 1t is noted for
the longevity of its citizens and
the beauty of its girls. AS proof
for these statements we refer
you to John Hare, age 90, and
Friend Calland, age 80, also to
Donna Jean Kuhn, Wanda Bar
nett, Jane Morris, and Patricia
Kuhn, our QUEENS and their
attendants.
Regarding the QUEENS,
Donna Jean Kuhn, our home
coming Queen, is a direct des-
cendant of Moses Horton, being
his great great great great
great granddaughter, coming
from Moses through Richard,
Moses II, Mary Horton Smith,
Bertha Smith Mallett and Pau
line Mallett Kuhn down to
Donna Jean. Then our Sesqui-
Centennial Queen, Wanda Bar
nett is a direct descendant of
Nathaniel Capell who came to
Summerfield in the same year
as did Moses Horton. So it would
seem that the Queens were we'll
chosen in lineage as we'll as
beauty.

it came to selecting name for
the town the people suggested
that it be called Hortonville in
honor of its founder, but Moses
was a modest man and declined
the honor, naming it Summer
field in honor of Rev. John Sum-
merfield, a noted pioneer Meth
odiSt preacher.
James w. Shankland was the
first settler and the first mer-
chant in the village. He came on
the 9th of March, 1927 and
erected the first dwelling in the
town in the northwest corner
of Cross Street. He and his
brother-i -in-law, Charles w.
Moseley, married daughters of
Rev. James Rownd of Barnes
vile, and the two families lived
in the newly built dwelling.
Captain w. L. Moseley, was the
first male child born in Sum-
merfield.
During this same year, Will
liam Lingo, erected the second
house in the town. He was for
a time J. w. Shankland's part
ner in the store. In 1928 Samuel
Rownd settled in the town, and
started a lanyard and saddler's
shop. He followed this business
until 1858 when he sold out to
Stephen Wilson of Barnesville,
and removed his family to Iowa.
David West opened and kept
the first hotel in 1928, in a log
house on the southwest corner
of Cross street. In the same year,
Obadiah Lloyd built a log house
and shop and began business as
& blacksmith. In the spring of
1880 William Philpot bought out
James w. Shankland and took
possession of the store, grist-mill
and carding mill.
S. B. Philpot came to Summer
field in May, 1880. According to
his recollection, the inhabitants
of the place then were as fol-
lows: Charles w. Moseley, pro-
prietor of a carding-mill; Leo
midas Hescott, his assistant;
Samuel H. Rownd, tanner; John
P. Bevan kept a house of enter
tainment; David West, shoe
maker; William Heiddleston,

of land, stretching across the
divide between Wills Creek and
Duck Creek and, (having been
a brick-layer in Dublin), he
chopped down the trees, cleared
a space, built a brick-kiln and
built himself a brick house in
the midst of the forest. (We, his
descendants have never been
able to decide whether that
was a mark of ingenuity or just
plain "dumbness"). The chimney
of that brick house was still
standing until a few years ago
on the farm just west of town
belonging to Danford Wharton.
The Horizons mad TWO more
children after they settled in
Ohio. Their two Oldest sons,
Joshua and John, after coming
here, returned to the east on
foot. On their arrival in New
York City, they wrote to their
parents stating that they were
we'll and had enjoyed the trip,
but that they did not expect
to remain in the city long. No
other word was ever received
from them, and to this day the
family is ignorant of their fate.
One of the sons, William, was a
successful physician for many
years and moved to the West in
1871. Still another son, Thomas,
was a conductor on the Under
ground Railroad in ANTE-BEL-
LUM days, Summerfield being
one of the stations on this rail-
road. The human cargo was
brought to Summerfield from
Stafford and taken by the con-
ductors to Senecaville on their
way to the Canadian border.
Richard, who died in 1878, was
prominent minister of the
Wesleyan Methodist church. He
was the ancestor of the most of
the Horizons yet living in and
around Summerfield. The
daughters were Ann (O'NeilD,
Martha (Osborn), Susannah
(Crow), Jane (Graham) and
Rebecca (McWilliams). Moses
wife died in February, 1868, and
he died in March of the same
year. They are buried in the Old
Cemetery on the hill by the
Methodist church.
In the year 1877 when Moses
|, Horton arrived at the present
site of Summerfield, there were
then in the neighborhood, or ar
rived within the year, DR.. Joshua
Craig, Nathaniel Capell, Thomas
Cochran, and Samuel and James
Osborn. Joseph, father of Robert
Calland, arrived, with his fam
lily, from Scotland in 1919, and
his grandson, Friend M. Calland,
is one of our communities oldest
and most respected citizens. The
aforementioned families COM
prised most of the settlers liv-
ing near the headwaters of the
two creeks at the time of the
original settlement.
Rev. James Rownd, who had
settled in GAINESVILLE in 1908
suggested to Mr.. Horton that his
farm was the place to build a
town. Mr.. Horton acted on this
suggestion and laid out the town
in 1927. Tradition saws that when

teamster; Rev. John Miner, pas
tor Of the Methodist Episcopal
church; Peter Barnes, cabinet
maker; William Philpot, mer-
chant. The houses were log
buildings, among them several
cabins or round logs.
In 1880, the population of
Summerfield was So. In 1847, it
was estimated at 80. The village
grew slowly until 1883, when
the completion of the Narrow
guage Railroad gave an impetus
to its increase in population and
business. In 1870 the town had
470 inhabitants.
Summerfield was formerly an
important point for the tobacco
industry and large quantities of
leaf tobacco were bought, pack
ed, and shipped every season.
Summerfield was one of the
most wide-awake and patriotic
villages in this part of Ohio in
the time of the Civil War. Com
pany l. 25th Regiment, Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, was the first
company mustered into the SER
vice from Noble county in 1861
and it was organized in Summer
field.
The village has always mani
tested commendable interest in
educational matters. The first
school-house, log structure of
the typical pioneer fashion, was
erected in 1928.
Since Summerfield came into
Noble county the town plat has
been enlarged by several addi-
tionS.
The business interests of
Summerfield, at the beginning
of the year 1887, were as fol-
lows:
General Merchants: S. B. Phil
pot & Co., Rownd & Paul, Faber
& Danford.
Druggists: John I. Deww &
DR.. Samuel Brown; Grocer: John
H. Philpot; Boots and Shoes:

some two miles east of town,
where the ridge drops abruptly
off to stream running nearly
at right angles with the ridge
and in a northeastern direction,
emptying its waters into Wills
Creek. The town is built across
this ridge and the heads of these
two ravineS. At the time of the
plotting of the town, the Mari
etta-Barnesville road passed up
on the south side of the south
ern ravine, crossing near its
head and passing over the high
ground northeast of the town.
This was altered to cross the
ridge and ravines nearly at right
angles thus forming the main
street of the town. The other
original street runs nearly east
and west, following the top of
the ridge, winding over the hills
toward GAINESVILLE west, and
Woodsfield, east.
The town was laid out in 1927,
on the land of Moses Horton.
Moses Horton, the founder OF
the town, emigrated to America
from Dublin, Ireland, in 1917.
After a journey of six months,
he, with his wife and nine chill
dren, came to what is now
Marion township, but at that
time was part of Seneca town
