TROY - A little picture of
what Geauga county was like
is portrayed in an artice writ
ten some time ago by Mrs.
Mary Poole. Mrs. Poole, who
was recently taken by death,
was born a hundred years a
go this coming July. The fol-
lowing account of her life was
written by her son time before
her death for her son who has
furnished it to this paper.
1t reads as follows:
Memories From Long Ago"
My father was born in 1909,
in Prospect, New Have
Connecticut. He came to Troy
in 1894, and purchased h e
farm now owned by Harvey
Matthias.
In 1885 he was married to
Miss Eliza Rice of Southington.
My mother was born In Sou
thington July 4th 1916. THEY
gan life in the woods, with only
a small patch cleared, and the
body of log house rolled to-
gether, as their home. My bro
ther Lester was born Jan. 26,
1851. / was born July 20, 1855.
My mother was avery busy
woman, spinning and weaving
the cloth for our dresses, and
for fathers and brothers cloth
ing, and for woolen blankets,
and for linen sheets and table
cloths. I don't think she yer
bought a towel or tablecloth.
She had nice tablecloth she
used for company (Winnie has
it nowJ. When she died there
was a roll of toweling and one
of mems wear.
And then, there was tn e
cows to milk my father could
Mt milk, but he would gather
up the milk and put it in the
can, after Dave Pope started
a factory over the River.
I can remember when they
first sent milk to the factory.
Before that mother made the
milk into cheese a big job.
Almost my first recollections
are of a yard south of the
house enclosed by picket
fence, so mother could put us
children in there and know we
were safe. How well / remem-
Der a round topped cherry tree
in the yard, 1t blossomed, but
did not bear fruit, but it was
dense shade, and such a pret-
ty tree. A neighbor boy used
to come and play. Mother said

and year old colt.
There were two things wan
ted that I didn't get pony,
and a play house in tree.
There was picture in my Sun
day school paper of on a little
girls uncle made for her and
how 1 did want one.
Carl Johnson wanted to know
how my father seemed, as l
remember him. I told him he
was very gentle with us child
rem, / can't remember h S
speaking a cross word to us
children, much less any other
punishment. So was mother gen.
tie with us but she expected
to be obeyed.
My father and mother later
bought 80 acres on the end of
the original 70 acres that let
them out to the north andsouth
road. Later they gave it to
Lester, still later they bought
the land at the corners some
% acres.
When l was about IA or Is
we had a dairy of 20 COWS, alot
1 of heifers among them. % n e
day the folks were away and
I got up the cows early, in
tending to milk them all, but
they came before l got done
and mother made me stop, but
l MIXED II.
The milking came hard on
mother, so Lester and l learn
ed to milk as soon as we could.
One year Pa burned 2 char
coal pits. Short chestnut rails,
maybe six ft. long set around
and around and covered with
earth with a place at the bot
tom for a littel draft. At had
to be tamped all over. 1t SEEM
ed dangerous to me all Smo-
dering fire below. They had to
be watched and Pa had bunk
he could crawl into and sleep.
I liked to carry his dinner to
him. That bunk had a great
fascination for me. They sold
the charcoal to blackSmithS but
it burned too fast and he had
not get so much.
The first place Roy and ]
went together was Hiram COM
mencement. We went together
once in a while that summer
one place was the Bell Ring
ers. There were other things
one number that l remember
a big man sang a lullaby and
kept time with his hands and
arms as though he was rocking
a baby in his arms. 1t was
beautiful
We were married the next
February. Roy took a notion
to keep our marriage secret
don't know what his idea was
unless he was agraid of what
the boys might do. After a
week mother said it had been
long enough. She invited the
minister and wife, Roys' par
ents and grandparents, an d.
Aunt Florilla for a visit. Floril-
Ia said "why are thew putting
off the ceremony"
Ada Knight made my dress.
She knew we were to be mar
ried, but didn't know W h e n
She said to Mrs. Sheaffer (the
ministers wife, did she look
nice?" "Oh, yes" she said
s'She did look nice" She didn't
like it, trapping her.
Oh, we children Lester and
I, had a happy childhood.
