A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
On Thursday of last week Messrs. Boyles, Welch and Wilson, our Board of County Commissioners, went to Marietta to hold a joint conference with the Commissioners of Washington and adjoining counties with reference to constituting the Washington County Children's Home a District Home, to be used in common for the proper care and education of the destitute and friendless children of such counties as may desire to enter into the scheme. Besides Athens, Meigs and Noble counties were represented at the conference by their respective Boards, the Board of Morgan county telegraphed their inability to be present on account of the impractieable condition of the roads.
Our Commissioners were highly gratified with the appearance of the Home and its surroundings as also with the evidences they received of its efficient and judicious management.
Athens county, it is known, as already fourteen children in that institution that were last fall transferred thither from our County Infirmary. These children were called to under go an examination before the assembled commisssioners with the view of disclosing the educational progress they have severally made since their entry into the Home and so marked was the proficiency exhibited that one of the Board told the writer that the improvement evinced indicated far greater advancement in learning than children ordinarily realize during attendance for a like period at the best of our public schools. Equally gratifying were the apparent evidences of care for the personal wants of the juvenile imates of the Home, they being comfortably and cleanly clad and in every respect were evidently the recipients of greater particular attention than a majority of children
receive at the hands of their own parents. Without going into greater detail regarding the educational and physical care provided for the children who were find homes, we have reason to believe that their contidion could hardly be improved.
The Home is situated about two miles North of Marietta, overlooking the Muskingum valley. The original building was a large brick farm hous in good contition to which other suitable building have been added sicne it has come into the possession of the county. Last summer a three story brick building was erected for school room and Hall under the whole of which is a good cellar and building throughout warmed by a furnace. There are eighty-seven acres of fair Muskingum valley land attached to the Home; this, including the personal property, consisting of the usual stock and implements pertaining to a farm, is valued at $33,000 which, considering the cost of the completed buildings, valued at something over $20,000, we regard a moderate valuation.--
Athens' quota of this amount, in conection with the other four counties named, would be about $6,900 according to taxable valuation of the property of the several counties concerned as represented in the Auditor of Stat's last report.
The maintenace of the fourteen children alreay in the Home from this county costs us $2,100 per annum, and were this number not increased it should be occasion no hesitancy on the part of our people in deciding that it were better on the score of the economy to buy a permanent interest in the Home at the price named above, than continue yearly to pay this heavy tax for the support of the children now there. But the number of the latter is more likely to be increase than diminished. Without at the time enlarging more on the advantage of entering into the proposed arrangment, we add simply that decision in the premises must shortly be made, and with the object of directing their action herein the Board of Commissioner for this county have requested us to invite expressions of opinion in our columns from residents of the county touching the matter here submitted. We hope, there fore, that those feeling a personal interest in the orphaned and otherwise friendless children of the county will promptly send us their views for publication.

I have a file from a chapter in a book, titled DESCENDANTS of THOMAS FARABEE. It was taken from the book Genealogy of the Farabee’s in America. Written by Lois Thomas Farabee in 1918.
This book, starts with Caleb Farabee, Sr. who was in Kent County Delaware in 1757. He had 7 children: Benjamin, Jane, John, Joseph, Samuel, George, and Thomas.
Thomas, son of Caleb was born 1774 in Kent Co. Delaware, died on Oct. 20, 1850 in Washington County, PA. Many of his descendants migrated to Ohio, branching out into several different counties in Ohio, some in Washington and Athens Counties, and in later years some went futher west.
Below are some of the surnames from Washington County, Ohio.

Sally M. DANA Obituary (1862)
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Sunday January 30, 2005 04:42:46
DANA--At her residence near Beverly, Washington county, O. on Friday, May 9th, 1862, of apoplexy, Mrs. Sally M. Dana, aged 50 years.
The deceased will long be remembered by all who knew her as one possessing in a high degree those qualities fitted to secure the respect and love of a large circle of friends. Her posished manners, kind words and dignifified Christain deportment were a source of happiness wherever she went. She was from early life an exemplary follower of Christ, and her gentle spirit seems to have cherished religious truth until the principles of the Gospel were manifest in all that she did and said. Through death came suddenly, and with little suffering, yet her Savior's call found her ready to depart and be forever with Him. As if counscious of her immediate departure, and as evidence of a strong faith and good hope, her last words were, "I am almost home." A mournful yet blessed truth soon after verified by her falling asleep in Jesus.
In the death of this Christian landy the church has lost an active, consistent and influential member , and a liberal supporter of gsopel institutions.
But those alone among whom she lived can fully realize how much she will be missed by her relatives and that large circle of friends which she has left to mourn her departure. Yet their loss is her infinite gain, for "blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." [Christian Herald.

Even though the internet has become so popular in genealogy research, the Wash. Co. Ohio Historical & Genealogy Library has been remarkably stable. I contacted Ernie Thode, director of the Library. He had this to say:
“Because of the increase in internet genealogy, the people who do (or think they can do) their genealogy from home has greatly increased; they no longer have to come in for a census record on microfilm, let's say. I have the impression that the number people working on their family history with genealogy programs has greatly increased. The thing that has definitely changed is that far fewer snailmail letters come in and far more e-mail requests come in than before. But our regulars come in to use the newspaper microfilm, use the tax books, order LDS microfilms from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, consult the local books or photos that are not available on the internet, etc.”
If anyone is visiting the Washington County area, I highly recommend that you stop by the Library. Many people don't realize just how many "goodies" the library has to help them with their research.
With Marietta being the gateway to the west, this library is a genealogist gold mine!

Sunday January 30, 2005 06:14:46
UPDATE:
"ADDENDA" to the CIVIL WAR - FALLEN SOLDIERS FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO With Additions and Corrections, Including Research Notes.
I am currently working on this and already have 100+ names from the list that I extracted from Williams History.
Some of the information that's in the "ADNENDA" includes, but not limited to the information that was not mentioned in the book, about DATE and Place of Death, Causes, Place of Burial, if in a National Cemetery, Roster Lists, etc...
Also, lists sources as to where the information came from, and who submitted the information.
Once this ADDENDA is completed, I will combine it with the file that I all ready have online, extracted from Williams History. After this is done, the list will have a different LINK than what it is now.
Once the LINK changes to access both parts of the Fallen Soldiers of Wash., Co., I will let everyone know.

My Genealogy Journey in Washington County, Ohio
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Friday January 07, 2005 18:07:16
All during my childhood and even into my adult years, I was told by my grandparents and parents, that this person and that person in the Washington County, Ohio area was my cousin. Believe me, there were lots of them. Most of the time, I didn’t know how someone was related to me, because I didn’t ask how they were related and if I didn’t know them, I could care less.
When I would tell my friends that someone was one of my cousins, they would asked me how, but most of the time, I couldn’t tell them. Sometimes, I would hear comments from my friends such as, “You seem to be related to EVERYONE” in Marietta.” At times I would resent those kinds of comments because they didn’t believe me.
When I entered the 7th grade at Marietta Jr. High School in 1970-71, I had a Ohio History teacher, by the name of Bertrum (Bert) Duvall. He knew alot about the history of Washington County, Ohio, and he knew some members of my family. It was Bert that planted the seed of my interest into my ancestory. He told me that William Bond Mason was one of my ancestors. But he didn’t tell me how his line descended to me. At that time, I (and other students in my class) got our first lesson about the 1st 48 settlers of Marietta. I have never forgotten that history lesson, and can remember it just as if it was yesterday.
It wasn’t until 1987, I began my search into learning more about my ancestory. My Mom (Roberta Johnson) was still living then. She encouraged me alot, but sometimes she didn’t know how someone was related either, but she wanted to know just as much as I did. Mom passed away in March of 1989. That was the year I got serious about my research. Now it has become an obsession. If she were living today, she would be in “awe” with some of the information that I’ve found.
I now laugh about those kind of comments that my friends used to make when I was a kid. Even though I’m not related to EVERYONE in Marietta (LOL), I sure do have LOTS of cousins and now I can explain how we are related. Both of my parents came from large families. My maternal grandfather, Herman Johnson had 10 children. My paternal grandfather, Lawrence Noland had 11 children. And both of their parents and grandparents came from large families.

Household Hints In 1895
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Sunday January 30, 2005 17:48:00
HOUSEHOLD HINTS IN 1895
Frequent turning is the secret successful broiling.
Always use a wooden spoon for mixing cake, as an iron one discolors the butter.
A DASH of cinnamon in a cup of chocolate after it is pured is said to add a piquant flavor.
Wear well-fitting shoes about your housework. They are less fatigning than loose, untidy slippers.
If the children have no appetite in the moring, don't allow them to start for school with first drinking a glass of hot milk.
Onions, potatoes and cabbages for soup should always be scalded before being used, to draw out indegestible qualities.
In baking bread or rolls, put a sauce-pan of boiling water into the oven. The steam will keep the crust smooth and tender.
Much of the heavy cake and bread is the result of the oven door being slammed when closed. Shut the door as gently as possible.
It should be universally known that sand or flour scattered over burining oil will extinguish it. Every houshold in which lamps are used should have a convenient place ready for all emergencies.
A new dainty for afternoon tea, which can be cordially recommended, is a macaroon sandwich. It is made with two macaroons between which is placed a very thin slice of sage cheese.

Searching For An Ancestor

SEARCHING FOR AN ANCESTOR
I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him still.
He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will.
He married where a courthouse burned. He mended all his fences.
He avoided any man who came to take the US census.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame.
And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name.
His parents came from Europe. They could be upon some list
of passengers to the USA, but somehow they got missed.
And no one else in the world is searching for this man
So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can.
I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed,
But the weather took engraving and some vandals took the rest,
He died before the county clerks decided to keep records,
No family bible has emerged in spite of all my efforts.
To top it off this ancestor, who caused me many groans.
Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named JONES.

Know of an old time quick fix that you hardly hear of today??
Here's one that some of you might remember your parents or grandparents doing.
Mix a little FLOUR and WATER together. Another one is to use egg whites. Both REALLY works.
