sible he was to acute suffering that
when he had wound or sore he
would scar it with a hot iron then
treat it as a burn. That was John
Chapman-known to all Ohio as
Johnny Appleseed.
Quick and restless in movement
and conversation, Johnny Appleseed' S
beard and hair were long and dark
and his eyes black and sparkling. His
clothing old and worn, usually given
him in exchange for apple seeds. He
lived the toughest kind of life, often
sleeping in the woods and always
was barefooted, even in the snow.
But in the years that he travelled
through frontier Ohio he covered the
land with thousands of apple trees
and many little orchards almost
everywhere. 1t was his obsession.
Johnny belonged to the Sweden
borgian Church and wherever he
went he scattered its primitive Chris
tian books among all who would take
them. Once when he had only a
single book left he tore it in two
and gave half to each of two per-
sons. He was welcomed everywhere,
among settlers and Indians alike.
One cool autumn night when he
was sleeping in the woods the mos
quitoes were so thick that some flew

into his camp fire and were burned
up. Noticing it Johnny got some
water and put out the camp fire.
Later he remarked, God forbid that
| should build a fire for my comfort
that should be the means Of destroy
ing any Of His creatures" Such was
Johnny Appleseed.
Born near Springfield, Massachu-
sets, in 1775, he came to Ohio in
1901, then went back TO near Pitts
burgh and began the nursery busi-
ness, extending it westwards. By
1911 he was famous throughout Ohio
and his trees We're growing all over
the state where he had planted apple
seed. He would clear a space usual
ly near some stream, plant little
orchard then close the ground and
wander away until the trees had
grown. Thus the settlers found
orchards waiting for their coming.
When the pioneers began to flock
into the state Johnny was ready for
them with his young trees, which he
either gave away or traded for some
old garment or other trife. Thus he
went on for many years until the
whole country was nearly settled and
supplied with apple trees-from
which he derived little other than
delight or satisfaction.
A pioneer in Jefferson County re-
lated that the first time he ever saw
Johnny was in 1906 and he was GO
ing down river with two canoes
lashed together, well loaded with
apple seeds which he had obtained
from the cider presses in Western
Pennsylvania. He always carried a
bag or two of seeds on an old horse
or frequently on his own back going
here and there on the wild frontier.
He would clear a little patch, put a
rude fence around it, plant his seeds
and go on his way. Johnny Apple
seed had such little orchards all over
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana.
All the orchards in the white set
Elements came from the nurseries of
Johnny Appleseed's planting. In 1906
he planted 16 bushels of seeds on an
old farm on the Walhonding River
and had nurseries in Licking and
Richland counties and others on
west.
There was romance back of Johnny
Appleseed's eccentricities-he had
loved and lost. After that he just
went around planting apple seeds
with no other care nor interest.
Once on a time, Johnny related,
he saw a poor, friendless little girl
with no one to care or do for her,
and sent her to school meaning to
bring her up to suit himself then
when she was old enough, to marry
her. So he clothed her and watched
over her until she was fifteen. Then
when he called to see her unexpect-
edly he found her sitting with a
young man holding hands, listening
to his silly twaddle" After that she
was no protege of his. 1t was the
end and so Johnny went around
planting seeds and watching for them
to grow into trees. The girl was Miss
Nancy Tannehill, of Perrysville, Ash
land County. Johnny was just too
late-she already was engaged.
He died March IL, 1845, in st
Joseph Township, Indiana, and is
buried two and half miles north
of Fort WAYNE.
