From the Democratic Northwest, Jan. 13,1881

G. W. HEATH, a former resident of Napoleon, but now of Cadillac, Mich., spent several days here last week.

Mr. Lou WANN, formerly of Napoleon, now of Chicago, is at present stopping in Defiance as a companion for his uncle ex-Gov. SCOTT.

Miss Ella TROWBRIDGE, formerly a pupil of Mrs. IRVING, has gone to New York to perfect herself in the study of elocution. That success may attend her efforts, is the earnest wish of a large circle of friends and admirers.

The hosts of friends in Napoleon of Miss JOHNSON, who formerly taught in our schools, will be glad to learn that she has been induced to return to Napoleon and resume the duties of Principal in the High School. She is a most excellent young lady and a first-class teacher.

SCANDAL AT LIBERTY – On Saturday last, we learn, facts were brought to light in the usually quiet little town of Liberty Center which compelled Dr. BOYD to give up his residence in the place and skip for parts unknown. Enough is hinted at to know that BOYD has been altogether too familiar with other men’s wives and was a confirmed morphine eater. The denizens of Liberty are much torn up over the affair, and probably the end is not yet.

Chas. KOLBY has moved his saloon and building to lot nearly opposite the NORTHWENT office. SOLD OUT – L. Bockleman has sold out his grocery store to Chas. POLKR, who will take possession on the first of February.

ELOCUTION – Mrs. IRVING’S pupils and all desiring to become such, are requested to meet her at the City Hall, Monday, Jan. 17,1881.

Charles W. FISHER, a prosperous farmer of Flat Rock township, was born January 15,1856, and is the son of Frederick and Mary (WALTER) FISHER. The father was born in Germany in about 1828, and came to the United States in 1854, settling in Napoleon township, Henry county. He worked on the Wabash Railroad four or five years, helping to lay the first rails on the road. He then bought 20 acres of land in Freedom township, but later sold it and removed to Napoleon township, where he purchased 40 acres of partly cleared land, spending the rist of his days there, his death occurring in 1903. At the time of his death he was the owner of 164 acres of good land. The mother is still living on the home place. Their eight children are Charles, Lizzie, Joseph (deceased), Christina, Mary, John, Saronaca, and Harmon (deceased).

Charles W. Fisher lived at home until 18 years of age, and then learned the wagon and carriagemaking trade in Napoleon, working at that employment 8 years. He then married and rented a farm in Liberty township, remaining there seven years, when he sold out and in 1889 located on his present farm in Flat Rock township, consisting of 80 acres, which he has brought to a fine state of cultivation, and improved with a fine two-story house and large barn. He also engages in the breeding of Percheron horses, and among the fine animals on his farm is “Prince Napoleon,” a three-year-old stallion, weighing seventeen hundred pounds, and generally considered one of the finest horses in northwestern Ohio.

OBITUARY OF ISAAC B. VanSCOYOC -believed to be from the Deshler Flag. July 1919
Another dark canopy of sorrow hangs heavily over this vicinity in the passing of one of its most venerable and familiar citizens – one who had played a long role in the great drama of life; one who had bravely stood in defense of the Stars and Stripes and the honor of his country, in the threatening days of the Civil War; one who had won the confidence and kindly regards of all who knew him best; and one who rejoiced in others’ success, and sympathized in their adversity; one who had learned in the school of experience the full significance of a pioneer’s life; one whom we admired and esteemed so highly, his virtues, that can never be forgotten; one whose memory shall be engraved upon the very tablets of our hearts and minds, while the years of eternity roll.

Thus, it is said to the happy memory of Isaac B. VanSCOYOC, son of Jonathan W. and Mary VanSCOYOC. He was born January 25,1841 in Richland County, Ohio, and died July 19th, 1919, at his late residence in Deshler, Ohio. With his parents, he came to Henry County in 1852, occupying what is known as the “home farm”, 1 Y2 miles southeast of Deshler.

February 5th, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Martha McBRIDE and to this union was born eight children, namely: John W. VanScoyoc, Malinda M. TUSSING, Clara E. VanSCOYOC, Emmet E. VanSCOYOC, Perry E. VanSCOYOC, Charles L. VanSCOYOC, Cora E. BOYER and Blanche D. BUTLER, and all are living but Clara, who died at the age of four years.

On May 10th, 1895, the wife and mother preceded to the spirit world. On April 7th, 1898, he was again united in marriage to Mrs. Elsie C. BEAM, of Bloomdale, Ohio, and who on March 11,1919, bade adieu to the scenes of time.

The deceased leaves to mourn, the children, above mentioned, nineteen grand-children, two great-grandchildren, two sisters, namely: Mrs. John GALBRAITH, of Oregon, and Mrs. William WALTMAN, of Deshler, besides many nephews and nieces. And, besides the relatives, there is a long train of admiring friends and neighbors, both old and young, who feel the loss of a sterling citizen in every way.

He was converted to the Christian faith in a series of union meetings conducted by Revs.
ROBERTS and SHARP, at Oakdale, about 45 years ago. He first joined the Christian Union and in 1893 united with the United Bretheren at Oakdale. He died a triumphant death. He fought a good fight, he finished his course and he kept the faith unto the end.

August 2,1862, he enlisted for military service for a term of 3 years but was discharged for physical disability at Bowling Green, KY, January 22,1863. But on June 8,1863, he re-enlisted for 3 years. On the 23rd of August, 1873 [sic], he was appointed corporal Co. L, first regular Ohio heavy artillery. His discharge from Co. G 99th Ohio was signed by Capt. Thomas McDERMONTH, at Knoxville, Tenn.

The deceased was one of a sturdy pioneer family of ten children and lived in Bartlow Twp. before it was organized. He had seen the little city of Deshler spring from a dark and dismal forest and swamp. He had seen the narrow trail evolve into the macadam highway. He had lived from the days of the ox-cart to the age of automobiles and aeroplanes. What a wonderful store of knowledge he had acquired from the “school of experience” in his 78 years, 8 months and 24 days.

He was logical and business-like in his avocation as a farmer. However, he had been retired from the activities of his occupation for a number of years. The deceased had been a resident of Deshler and had won many fast friends during his citizenship here.

His character and disposition was to be admired. In his demise it seemed like a young life moving out of an old tenement that had weathered the storms of so many years. He was always young in spirit, so much so that his associations were sought after, by old and young alike. He always had a little message of good will and good cheer, let [sic] his children, his neighbors and for everybody. What a legacy he has left his children, neighbors and friends, in his hearty good will for all. Such an influence cannot, will not die, in the hearts of all those left behind.

The memory of our departed father, neighbor, citizen and friend shall be cherished like the sparkling waters in an oasis of living green. The morning of life has faded into the misty din of the eternal past – the meridian has long been crossed and the evening sun has dropped ‘neath the occidental horizon – so gently and so softly as one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Soldier rest! The warfare of life has gone into the realms of the silent past Dream not of cruel battlefield any more. The armor’s clang, or war-steed’s champing shall not reach thine ear. At the rising sun no bugle shall sound reveille. Days, months, years and ages will circle away and still our memories shall turn to the sacred “Silent City of the Dead,” where the golden stars shall keep o’re thee, a silent vigil, and the whispering pines shall chant a loving requiem throughout the cycles of the eternal future.

Slowly and sadly the funeral cortege shall bear thee away to the grave of one, who fought to prove that “United we stand and divided we fall.” Father, soldier, citizen, neighbor, friend – rest! Peace be to thy soul!

Funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. G. W. FOLTZ, of Harrod, Ohio. Rev. LYTLE eulogized upon the life of the deceased. Prayer was offered by Rev. R. C. CROSBY. Pall-bearers were the four sons of the deceased and the two sons-in-law. J. W. HOLE was the mortician.
[Ed. note: They don’t write obituaries like that anymore! It could have been edited, but the flowery language was interesting so the entire article was retained.]

From the Deshler Flag, 3 Nov 1909

THE HUNTERS RETURN COVERED WITH GLORY The hunting party, composed of S. A. JONES, Dr. NORRIS, Harry FAYRAM, Bert GRIBBELL, S. COTT1NGHAM, John ADAMS, and Dr. HIRSH, of McComb, returned home the first of the week from their trip, none the worse, considering the hardship with which an expedition of this kind comes in contact. The boys all report a fine time and enjoyed the trip immensely.

There is one feature, however, that seems to stick in their craw, and that is told by the boys as the memorable overland ride of 45 miles. The caravan consisted of two lumber wagons with board seats, and, as Sam Jones says, “there was not a spring within 40 miles – not even a spring of water.”

The boys pitched their camp on the banks of Houghton Lake, and for ten days their sports were varied and many, from catching sunfish to hunting bear, duck hunting, and even Harry Fayram got so enthusiastic that he took a shot at an innocent porker.

Our cartoonist has made a few pictures of the trip and thrilling scenes caught by Dr. Norris and his Kodak which we reproduce in this issue. We are sorry we have not the space to spare this week to go into details of this trip, as it would make an interesting story for their many friends to read, and even some for their descendants, who in years to come could read the article with pride, regarding the brave Buckeye hunters who explored the wilds of Michigan.

BRUTUS NORRIS –  Bert GRIBBELL, with this faithful dog, got a bear up a tree and couldn’t get him down. Bert would have shot him, but the tree was too tall, and it would have taken him forever to cut the giant pine down.

SAM JONES IS A GREAT FISHERMAN –  Even the deep blue sea gave up the large Monsters when Sam JONES cast his hook and line therein. Oh, he’s a professional, all right.

HARRY FAYRAM GETS THE BIRDS – Harry FAYRAM tries to take a tail out of a partridge and incidentally takes a tail out of a neighboring fence.

 

THEY FOUND A BIG, HUNGRY BRUIN – Messrs. NORRIS and COTTINGHAM, while on a bear track, came upon a 200-pound bruin so suddenly that it unnerved them somewhat.

INDEX OF GERMAN SCRAPBOOK TRANSLATIONS Vol. 2

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 otherwise identified. It is probable that most of the articles came Per Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry Co. and in Twps. transferred to Defiance Co. Ken Thompson translated the German items for us. An index will be printed as space permits.
