Queries

GUNTER
Looking for info on George Washington Gunter b.30 Dec 1833, OH. He is the son of Alexander (Sandy) Gunter and Aufelda (unknown). George Washington Gunter is the only child listed as bom in OH, the rest in NC or VA.

The parents were from VA and the family lived along the NC/VA line for many years. Both parents appear to have died between 1844 and 1850. In the 1850 census, the children have scattered, but my ancestor, George W. Gunter, is back in OH and listed in the household of James and Margaret Rowland in Richdfield Twp., Henry Co., OH. In 1855 he moved back to Stokes Co., NC to marry.

Does anyone know the connection between the Gunter and Rowland Families?_Any info would be appreciated.

From The Deshler Flag, 24 October 1957
JOHN VAN SCOYOC, 90, RECALLS EARLY DAYS

John W. VAN SCOYOC of near Deshler, will celebrate his 90th birthday by holding open house at the home of his son, Alva, Sunday afternoon.

Mr. VAN SCOYOC, son of Isaac and Martha VAN SCOYOC, was born October 26,1867, in a log house two miles southwest of his present home, and has lived 87 years of his 90 in Bartlow Township; the other three years he lived across the road in Wood County with his aunt and uncle, Wm. WALTINAUS. The log house he lived in for 21 years was built by his father in the corner of his grandfather Jonathan VAN SCOYOC’S yard. The elder VAN SCOYOC came to this farm from Richland County in 1852. “Granny VAN SCOYOC,” as she was known to her friends, ministered to all those she knew and attended the birth of many of the babies.

John VAN SCOYOC was married to Della RUTTER on Sept. 25,1895, and she died July 28, 1944. There are two children, Alva and Mrs. Galen (Martha) LEATHERMAN of Ashland; four grandchildren, Nan and Lindy VAN SCOYOC and John and Carol LEATHERMAN. He also has one brother, Chas. L., and two sisters, Mrs. Cora BOYER and Mrs. Blanche BUTLER of Deshler. Brothers Emmett and Perry and sisters Clara and Malinda are deceased.

Mr. VAN SCOYOC takes great pride in his wonderful health and his being able to live alone, do his own cooking, raise a nice garden, care for a flock of sheep and drive his own auto.

He enjoys talking about the early history of his community, the fields he helped to clear, the logs he hauled, the ditches and roads he helped to build and the changes that have taken place during his lifetime.

When asked if he would like to go back to the good old days, with a twinkle in his eye he quickly replies “Oh, no! I just like to talk about them. I enjoy all these modern conveniences, too.”

Pioneers – Gleanings From The Deshler Flag

“Pete” TUSSING is one of Deshler’s honest-to-goodness old-timers. As a boy he frolicked around these parts when it was still largely swampland, and what passed for streets were just plain mud paths in which you sank to your hips when you ventured out. Forty years ago, (pub. date 2 May 1940), we were reading in our files last week, Mr. TUSSING emerged resplendent in a new uniform as the town marshal. Ever since then, and maybe for some time before, he has managed to be connected steadily with some phase or other of the town’s civil life.

Augustine Peter PILLIOD, 72, widely known Grand Rapids pioneer miller, died Sunday at the family home. He was the son of August PILLIOD, one of the early settlers of the Maumee valley, (pub. date 24 Aug 1932.)

We understand that Simon BOYER, living southwest of town, is down with typhoid fever, (pub. date 12 Dec 1902).

How would you like to receive a bouquet of fresh cut flowers from California? On Tues. afternoon Mrs. Chet DANGLER received a package and a note from her father in that state. He had sent by airmail a bouquet of sweet peas and heliotrope picked from his garden the afternoon before, it taking just 30 hours to make the trip, (pub date S Mar 1936)

Let us imagine ourselves back 98 years to the wilderness in this community when the towering forest occupied these rich plains now termed as a land of plenty. She has borne full will the burdens wrought by trying pioneer days. But now the woodman’s ax lies free and the reapers’ work is done.

Martha Ann CALE MALONE GRAY, daughter of Cornelius and Susan CALE, was born in Guernsey Co. Ohio March 12th 1839 and departed this life at the home of her son, Neal GRAY in Deshler, Feb. 19, 1937 attaining the ripe old age of 97 years, 11 months, and 8 days. In her early girlhood days she migrated here with her family in an ox drawn covered wagon and located near Custar, Ohio.

At the age of 20 years in the year of 1859, she was united in marriage to George MALONE. To This union were born 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. Mr. MALONE passed away [after] about five years of wedded life. She was again united in marriage to Nelson W. Gray four years after the Civil War and to this union were born 12 children, 3 girls and 9 boys. Her husband passed away 40 years ago. Mrs. GRAY has been a resident of Deshler for over 50 years, 9 of her children preceding her to the spirit world. She leaves to mourn her Mr. Tom Malone, Bowling Green; Mr. Neal GRAY, Deshler; Mrs. Minnie BEHRENS, Deshler; Mr. Ernest GRAY, Toledo; Mrs. Addie FIELDS, Mr. Fred GRAY, both of Temperancem Ml; Mrs. Rettia TAYLOR, Kalamazoo, Ml, one sister, Mrs. McGUIN, Toledo. (Pub. Date 25 Feb 1937

From The Deshler Flag, 1 May 1941

(The editorial column] A fellow walked down the street with a sack of groceries in his arm, climbed in his car, and drove away Wednesday morning. Nothing odd about that, perhaps, except that this gentleman is 95 years old! We refer to “Dick” Reese, who will be just five years from the century mark on May 11, and who, if we are not mistaken, is one of the county’s two surviving veterans of the Civil War. If you saw [the 1939 epic film] “Gone With The Wind,” it might be interesting to know that Mr. Reese was with Sherman’s army in the Battle of Atlanta pictured in that film. The Civil War is so far off and legendary to this generation, that it brings us up with a start to find someone walking around who was actually a part of that great conflict

From The Deshler Flag, 20 November 1941

With the death of George W. MARCH, 99, at his farm home near Florida, OH, last Thursday, Henry County’s sole surviving veteran of the Civil War is now [incorrect name] John W. Reese, 95, of near Deshler. Mr. MARCH enlisted in the 101st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served through the entire war. He had no near relatives surviving. Services were held Sunday afternoon in the Boyer Funeral Home in Napoleon.

From The Deshler Flag, 28 Dec 1944

RICHARD REECE, 98, Went Through Georgia With Sherman

Henry county’s last link with the Civil Was was broken Monday, with the death of Richard Reese, 98, sole survivor in this county of the great war between the North and the South which took place 80 years ago, and one of the last little handful of survivors in the entire state. Mr. Reese served in the 27th Regiment of Company C, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Fuller’s Ohio Brigade, Army of the Tennessee, with General Sherman on the famous march through Georgia, which he recalled vividly in an interview with The Flag just before Memorial Day last year.

“We destroyed everything we thought the Rebs could use,” he told us then. There were lots of cotton gin mills down there, and we didn’t leave anything standing except high smoke stacks. They tell me that you can see them standing yet in the south – they call ’em Sherman’s monuments!’’

Mr. Reese was in the bitter battle at Fort McAlester, GA, but escaped injury. He recalled that the army often outran its supplies, so that the men had to live for days on what supplies they could garner from the barren country around them, largely unhulled rice, for which he acquired a lifelong distaste. About a fourth of the army had no shoes, but made up this deficiency from the somewhat unwilling Georgians.

Joined when 16 Years Old

“Dick” Reese left home at the age of 16, in the fall of 1853(sic), to cast his lot with the Union Army. At that time he lived in Licking County, not far from the birthplace of the famous general who was to be his commander, and whom he met on several occasions after the war.

There were 60,000 men in Sherman’s army and they cut a 60-mile swath through the heart of the South, on a 300-mile march which ended at Savannah, GA. Mr. Reese was with the army at Raleigh, NC when Lee surrendered, and he participated in the Grand Review held at Washington following the peace, when he recalled that General Sherman stood in the reviewing stand for seven and a half hours as his tired fighters marched by.

Mr. Reese always had a high regard for the Civil War leader, referring to him as “good old Billy.” He recalled receiving a warm handshake from the general when they met in a Newark hotel years after the war, and when Mr. Reese told what regiment he had served with, he treasured Sherman’s reply: “A very fine organization, sir.”

Early Bartlow Settler

When peace came, Mr. Reese took a job driving a “bus”, powered by two mules, between Columbus and Granville. He moved to Bartlow Township over sixty years ago, at a time when there was only one house between his home, about five miles west of here, and Deshler. He first operated a saw mill in the days when that was a thriving industry in the locality, as the forests were being cleared, and later went to farming at the same home where he quietly passed away.

The aged veteran remained remarkably spry up until the past year or so. Until that time he drove into town himself and saw nothing unusual in his doing so. He had been bedfast for the past two weeks. He is survived by three sons, Harry, at home; Howard, of Detroit; and Burch of Springfield; a daughter, Mrs. Arthur Lazenby, of near Findlay; a stepson, Charles Johnson, Bowling Green; 17 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the Fuller Funeral Home at Leipsic.

Ken Thompson Translations for German Scrapbooks at Library

Several years ago a three-volume set of family scrapbooks was donated to our society. The items were cut from at least one German-language newspaper from this area, but not dated or identified. It is believed the articles came from Per Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry Co. and in Twps. transferred to Defiance Co. Ken Thompson is translating the items for us. An index is being published as space permits. Vol. I translation is completed.
