1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. IIP Friday, January 31, 1936 STOW, OHIO No. 5 LITTLE VISITS WITH INTERESTING FOLK Saturday, January 18, 1936, I called to visit with my neighbor, of some years past, and my personal friend, Charles A. Hine, of West Thornton street, Akron, Ohio. For twelve years we lived ' a short stone's throw from each other. Mr. Hine is one of the most interesting of men, so I find pleasure in introducing my friend to the hundreds Who read this paper. (Charles A. Hine was born at Tallmadge, December 17, The grandfather, Dennis, and grandmother, Lucy Hine, came in ox carts through the wilderness and settled on what is known as Hine Hill, which is less than a mile from the circle at Tallmadge, building a log cabin and afterward a brick house, that still graces the spot chosen for a home by the Hines in the year When little Charles was seven years of age, and the day before Christmas and in the year 1880, tile boy cut across the woods and pasture lands of South Akron, for he had heard of a German. family napied Gaugler that lived jn a log house by the shores of NesSbit Lake. Now there lived also in the Gaugler home Grandmother Gammons, the mother of Mrs. Gaugler. Grandmother Caramons took quite a liking to the Hine boy and on many visits that followed the good old woman would ride the boy on her knee, and tell of the days when the log house was the only one for miles and miles., She told of the settlers fight with Indians along Long Lake, and how the Indians by strategy planned to force a company of settlers into the Lake, then tomahawk them. The struggle between the two contending parties, of probably twenty nien on each side, was to hold the land side in the fig'ht tljen force the enemy into the Lake. But the whites got the advantage and succeeded in doing just what the Indians planned to do. So the settlers won the fight and destroyed most of the Indians., Mr. Hine had a wonderful collie^ tion of Indian relics at one time., I recall he told me his specimens had been appraised at $14,000. > Many o'f these specimens were rare and were secured after fnuch search and energy. Twenty-two. Indian skulls were part of his exhibit. In the course of the years our friend has owned pieces of flint, or hatchets, or spears, or drills, or ''cowls, or grain crushers, or specimens used in games, or given for bravery, or emblems of worship, etc. I never handle these mementos ef long ago but there stands before me, in vision and spirit, ti}e cunning, athletic, wild, roaming creat-' ure, the creator of all these implements of war and tools of usefulness that hfe fingers, his energy shaped and fashioned. Now his glory has passed. On his hunting grounds civilization rumbles and smokes, rasps, struggles, lives and dies. Topic for Sermon Sunday Morning "The Worlds Changing Thought of God."

SALVATION ARMY Last Sunday morning some twenty-five soldiers for Christ from the Salvatio n Army of Akron came out in the bitter cold and gave us a very nice morning church service. The Scripture reading was from the well-known thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. Colonel Jenkins, who is conducting meetings for the local camp in the Army's National Campaign to "win a million souls for God in 1936," spoke on the fruits of the Spirit, taking as his text Galatians 5: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law." The Salvation Army * quartette sang;' also a beautiful duet was sang by two members of the organization. To those who listened;' it was evident that all who took part were inspired by the Spirit. They were genuine; they were sincere. People like such qualities.

Johnathon Gay lord, Sr., his son Jonathan ahd his brother Samuel came to Stow in Their families were large and more of them have stayed on in the' township than of any other family. There are 67 names on the cemetery record. Most of ( these people came from Connecticut.

How many more were buried there we will never know. I think I have taxed the memory of every 0ld resident to make the record as complete as possible, in setting down' this story of the cemetery I have left the Stow family until last. William Stow, the first of the family to reside here came with his father-in-law, Johnathon G a y - lord) Sr., in His' family, of ten children gre^ up here but most of them left for other homes long Quality Sc.

While I have acted as sexiton I have buried only one colored person. His name was Green. So far as I know he is the only one buried here. During all my lifetime in the township I have only known three families of colored people to 1 reside here. I will tell you briefly of the other grounds where Stow residents were buried. The first burial recorded of a resident of Stow was made in Darrowville in 1807, two years before the first one here. This lovely little cemetery lies near the Stoiw Hudson line and has burials 'from both townships. Some one else perhaps can better tell its history. O'Brian cemetery in the southwestern corner of Hudson township has many Stow burials. That section was called "Little Ireland" ^ for many years'and most of the names H A P P Y on the headstones are Irish. Tread lightly if you go there. The first burial recorded was a member of the Deacon family in I know of two family burial places in Stow. Perhaps there are more. One of these is on the old Ritchie farm on the Hudson road and the other is on the Ev. Lappien place. This farm originally belonged to George Stewart and the burials are from that family, I think.
