He said this program will be
distinct from defense projects in
the space field.
Eisenhower said Wernher Won

be among the last to predict any

But he said the scientists who

Farmers expressed fear of wide

reported nearly total destruction.

was Lucinda Walden, now Bill
Thompson's wife, of Middlefield.
The next teacher was Henry
Cook, of Windsor, about the
year 1911. Each one who sent
children paid in proportion to
the number sent. There was no
school tax at this time. Father
sent five children, Paul Clapp
five, Abner Clark eight, D.
Carlton seven, B. Brown nine,
E Wilcox two. The third tea
cher was Anna Lyman.
The day of Perry'S victory on
Lake Erie, September 10, 1918,
my father, brother Horace, and
myself were logging. 1t was a
very clear day. 1 told father I
heard thunder. He said it was
cannon, and remarked that Com
modore Perry had met the en-
emy. We had no telegraph in
those days. Three days later
we h e ard the glorius of
Perry's victory. Not many days
after came the good news that
Gen Harrison had taken the
British land forces and Indians.
The lake and land was ours
after that, and we felt safe
from the Indians.
The men who came back
from the was were sick Of what
was called lake fever" Father
had four at one time at his
house to take care of. About
this time Dr.. Kennedy came
and settled in town. He had been
q surgeon in the army, and he
dOctored the sick. We had two
young men from Middlefield,
brothers, named Granger, who
were sick. They got better in
March, and went to work in a
sugar bush, took cold, and both
died.
Fathers latchstring was al
ways out for all who were sick,
and missionaries always had a
welcome in his home. One day
my father took his staff in hand
and went through the woods to
MesOpotamia on business. He
met a large bear in the path,
and raised his staff to make him
leave, but the bear kept MS pO-
sition and would not turn out.
So father had to go around him.
He kept his eye on him until he
was out of sight.
About 1911 or 1912 the road to
Madison was laid out by Ralph
COWleS, surveyor I carried cha
in for him and camped out one
night in the woods in MOntville
In 1909 a tornado blew from
the lake and penetrated to this
town, proStrating the timber in
its path. In the year 1918 I made
a visit to friends and relatives in
North Hampton, Mass. l walked
both ways. Was there about six
months; got homeSick and re

ed the room that he never saw
the sun look as pleasant and
that he would not live through
the night. He died that evening.
He gave his staff to me, saying
he would not need it any long
er; that he had a white stone
given him, on which a name was
written and that no man could
know except him that wears it. "
The day before, he visited his
bees for the last time. He was
a great bee hunter and always
kept bees.
At one time there was some
talk Of establishing a western
Reserve College here; but from
lack of support from the towns
people, the project fell through.
Horace Cleveland offered a sub
Stantial sum to establish an aC-
ademy here. That project also
fell through from lack of sup
port Disappointed in not having
these schools, four families of
us concluded, at our own ex-
penSe, to get the best teacher
we could find and support a pri-
Vate school. We kept up this
school for several years. Those
who supported this school we're:
Lyman Millard, Zenas Barnes,
Charles Clapp and myself Each
family was to send three pupils.
Some others sent pupils, Thorn
as Clapp one or two, and DR..
BreCk sent his son Edward. We
took turns in furnishing a room
and boarding the teacher The
last school we had was at War
rem LOOmiS' house. and was
taught by Sarah Dickinson. She
had class in French. l never
regretted the money l spent in
keeping up these schools. The
school averaged about II pupils,
10 of whom afterwards became
school teachers.
Though the first settlers in
wilderness had trouble, trials
and inconvenience, yet on the
whole they enjoyed their lives
much better than those of the
present. The few that settled in
different towns had a greater a
taChment for one another. They
never forgot to help one another.
were friendly and kind, with no
pride that they should Shun one
another Their minds went high
er then their purses. They had
! few temptations to encounter.
The wilderness around them
was all theirs; wood abundant,
and all kinds of game was
theirs. Cattle fed at large. If
they wanted honey they cut
tree and filled two or three pals
of the finest kind of old honey
If we wanted a bear, deer, or
a coon, we took our dog and ri
file, went into the woods and got
what we wanted. The land and
trees were ours, for we were
the first rightful poSsessors. So
it was for 80 years after we
came in town After that time,
people came in and settled on
the lots that suited them best.
I would say here: We, as first
settlers, had free for 80 years
all these blessings, a free gift
from our Heavenly Father But
now others have taken posses
sion for a short time, and we go
and leave it to others. No l
would ask: Who enjoyed them
selves best, or took the great
ext comfort of their lives? I say
by my own experience, the first

And find a peaceful home;

one reader from Toleda, who says:

She goes on to list her reasons:
