The first stage line in Hampshire county, so far as any record exists, was established in 1830, between Winchester and Cumberland. In 1845 the stage lines from Greenspring to Romney and from Romney to Parkersburg and Marietta, Ohio, were owned by Nathaniel Kuykedall and Jesse Hilderbrand. This was the main throughfare between the east and west, through what is now the northern part of West Virginia. The National road, from Cumberland to Wheeling was a rival in importance. The stages from Romney to the Ohio river made remarkably good time, reaching Clarksburg in one day and Parkersburg in two. Stages left Greenspring for the Ohio river on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, "upon the arrival of the cars from Baltimore," as stated in an advertisement of that date. It would appear that only three passenger trains a week arrived from the east at that time. The distance from Greenspring to Parkersburg was two hundred and ten miles, and the fare by stage was ten dollars. The raiload fare from Baltimore to Greenspring was four dollars, or from Baltimore to Parkersburg, fourteen dollars. The time required for the journey from Baltimore to the Ohio river was fifty-seven hours; and from Baltimore to the Ohio river was fifty-seven hours; and from Baltimore to Greenspring nine hours. Stages from Winchester and from Moorefield connected at Romney with the stages for the Ohio river.

Biography of H. K. Leedham

Wednesday October 06, 2004 16:02:26
H. K. Leedham, of Leedham & Baugh, dealers in lumber, lath, shingles, and manufactures of sash, doors, blinds, moldings, etc., Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, established the latter business here in 1872. The firm employed about fourteen hands in the factory, situated at the teminus of Lincoln, on Henry street.
Mr. Leedham was born in Washington County, Ohio, Dec. 24, 1830, and is the son of John and Sarah (Kensington) Leedham. His parents were born in England and came to Amercia in 1818, settling at Marietta, Ohio, and were among the earliest settlers in that region. They came to Iowa in 1844, and settled in New London Twnship, Henry County, where John Leedham was engaged in farming until his death, which occured in March, 1865. His wife also died in the same month, but four years later. John Leedham was an upright man of unblemished character, who was considered by those who knew him to be one of the best men of the locality in which he resided. In England both husband and wife were members of the Established Church, but after coming to this country adhered to the Universalist Church.
The subject of this sketch, H. K. Leedham, was reared on a farm, but learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked three years. He was also employed at a sawmill about three years, and afterward again went to farming. In 1872 he commenced the manufacture of sash, doors and blinds, in company with Mr. L. G. Baugh, which connection has now continued for fifteen years. Mr. Leedham was married, July 12, 1853, to Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Jacob Clark, who was an old settler of Van Buren County, Iowa. Mrs. Leedham was born in Pennsylvania, and died childless in April 1861. Mr. Leedham was married again, Feb. 16, 1862, in Des Moines County, Iowa, to Mr. Emma Wright, widow of John Wright, and daughter of Almer Lewis. This lady was also born in Pennsylvania. Three children were born of this union: Perry A., born Dec. 16, 1864, who has been reading medicine, and is now studing in Iowa City with a view to adopting the the profession of a physician; Ida M., born Feb. 3, 1869, died June 16, 1871, and Earle M., born May 29, 1880, died Sept. 24, 1882.
Mr. Leedham is independent in politics, believing that good government is more likely to be obtained through electing good men to office than by a close adherence to party lines. He is a broad-gaged, whole-souled style of a man, to whom, to a Western phrase, it "safe to tie to." As a business man and a citizen, he is justly held in esteem, and for his manly qualities and his integrity of character, he enjoys the confidence of the entire community.

Between the cabin and the wagon-box, the household found shelter the first summer, when a more pretentious log house, 20x20, was erected, in which the family was housed the succeeding four years.
The work of the farm development began with the settlement of the Henderson place. During the earlier years, fences were put up, buildings were erected, and orchard and shade trees set out and, as their circumstances would warrant, more land was added to the home.

Liberty Township Churches
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Thursday October 28, 2004 18:13:32
Liberty Township, Washington County, Ohio
Pioneers in Religious Matters - The Christian Church -The Scott Ridge Church -
German Churches - Pleasant Ridge Church - The Baptists - The Free Methodists in Liberty
The first religious denomination that began work in the township was the Methodist. A hewed log church was built in 1839 or 1840, just above Germantown, and there they held their meetings. These meetings have long been transferred to a point futher down stream. In 1848 Mr. Abraham ALBAN set apart some ground for the purpose, and a church building was erected on it. This was during the ministry of Rev. Thomas McCORMICK. Them embers of the church at that time were: Andrew CLINE, Jeremiah BURTON, William MYERS, Amos LACEY, Elijah GRAY, Abraham ALBAN, New MEREDITH, William HARMIGER, and their wives, John KOON, Betty KOON, Margaret KOON, John MEREDITH, Catharine AMOS, and George CASSELRING. This church still continues its meetings, which are a present conducted by Rev. PAUGH. The building may still be seen standing on a high bank to the right of Pawpaw, a little above the road from Salem to Dalzell. The church belongs to the Lebanon circuit.
The next church that originated in the township was the one whose building now stands above German town, just over the border of the township. It being so closely connected with the settlers of the township, a sketch of it will be given. It dates from the vicinity of 1840, and was organized by the following members: Nathan MILLER, David HENDERDSHOT, Levi WOODS, Daniel MICHAEL, Daniel McPEEK, John MILLER, Hammond MILLER, John WALTERS, and their wives. About 1850 Daniel MICHAEL gave land for the purpose, and a building was constructed by John WALTERS and John POWELL. Before this meetings were held in the building used by the township for election purposes. The church building is still standing, but the members now meet at the church at Dalzell.
By the spring of 1855 the southern part of the township had become settled thickly enough to warrant the establishment of a church in that region. Accordingly John and William LOVE, Robert, John and James SCOTT, with their wives, and Robert LOVE, banded themselves together as a separate congregation of the Methodists. It was about the time of the ministry of COOK, of Marietta, that they met at the house of Robert SCOTT.
Thus matters went on for two or three years, when the advantage of a special house of worship became so obvious that they constructed on the logs for the purpose. This was replaced about 1873 by a frame structure, made by John SCOTT. In this they still meet and are known as the Scott Ridge church. Rev. PAUGH supplies the pulpit, and the church is now a part of the Lebanon circuit.
Some fifteen or twenty years ago a German church was organized, and net in a building on Fifteen Mile creek. In a short time the building was destroyed by fire, and the church ceased to exist.
A German Lutheran church is in existence, and meets in their church edifice in section thirty-two. The organizers of this church were Jacob SCHRAMM, Samuel BRUNY, Christain BEST, Peter GRUVER, Charles BROWN, their wives and Catharine HARTWIG, Frederick and William EPLER. The meetings were at first held from house to house. This state of affairs continued for only tow or three years, when the present building was put up. The preacher now is the Rev. F. C. TRAPP.
The little village of Dalzell contains a neat-looking little edifice, in which the Pleasant Ridge Christian church of that place worships. The organization was effected in May, 1867, by Robert MILLER, John GREGORY, James T. ROGERS, Joel C. GREGORY, S. SPEAR, George BEARDSMORE, William BEARDSMORE, William JARVIS, D. N. ROGERS, Francis ROGERS, Wilford HOWELL, J. H. GRAY, Elizabeth FARNSWORTH, Agnes HOWELL, Ellen GREGORY, Eliza J. HOWELL, Abigail ROGERS, Arminda GREGORY, Milicent BEARDSMORE, Mary TAYLOR and Sarah MARTIN.
The officers elected first were: William JARVIS, John GREGORY and D. N. ROGERS, elders; Francis ROGERS and Wilford HOWELL, deacons; John GREGORY, J. H. GRAY, S. D. SPEAR, trustees.
The officers now (1881) are: Elders, David REES, William ROBERTS, S. D. SPEAR; deacons, John B. BOOTH, E. C. FRENCH, Thomas FORSHEY and Enoch GRIFFIN.
The church numbers eight-two members. It first held meetings in a log church, built at the time of organization. In 1880 the present frame structure was reared.
Where the two forks of Fifteen Mile creek unite is a church building witch was built in 1874, and in which worships the Liberty Baptist church. The land was donated by John CONGLETON. Before the building of the church, the organization met in Noble county for worship. This church was constituted in 1842. The ministers have been: Revs. William STONE, John D. YOUNG, J. C. SKINNER, John ABLES, H. LYONS, D. ROSS, William McPEEK and J. D. RILEY. The church has now twenty-nine members.
On Fifteen Mile creek there is a Free Methodist church organization, which began about three years ago to hold meetings in what is known as “Jordan’s hall.” In the fall of 1879 they purchased a school-house, and dedicated it in the summer of 1880 as a church. The present preacher is Rev. BENNETT.

The Family of Dr. M. S. Sprague
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Friday October 08, 2004 15:33:44
M. S. SPRAGUE, one of the successful and enterprising business men of Eddyville, was born in Washington County, Ohio, Oct. 9, 1852, and is the son of Joseph S. and Henrietta M. (Laughery) Sprague, the former a native of Muskingum County, Ohio, and the latter of Noble County, the same state. M. H. Sprague was educated in the common schools and at Beverly Academy, Ohio. He followed teaching and attended college between times, and graduated from the Columbia Medical College with honors in 1880, having previously studied medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. W. B. Hedges. After receiving his diploma he at once engaged in the practice of his profession at Coal Run, Washington Co., Ohio, and remained there about eighteen months. Dr. Sprague came to this State from Beverly, Ohio, and took up his residence at Eddyville, where he purchased the drug-store and business of D. W. McManas, in which he is at present engaged, carring a full line of Drugs and medicines. He is also occupied in the practice of his profession at that place, and in both departments of his vocation is meeting with success.
Dr. Sprague was married to Miss Ella Leonard, March 29, 1877. She is a native of Washington County, Ohio, and a daughter of Joseph and Betsey (Danely) Leonard. Her father was born in Fairfax County, Va., Feb. 17, 1804, and her mother was a native of Washington County, Ohio, born June 10, 1808. Dr. and Mrs. Sprague have two children: M. Leora, born Dec. 21, 1878, and Lillian C., May 21, 1882. The father of our subject departed this life at Eddyville, Aug. 25, 1885, aged fifty-four years, three months and twenty-two days; his widow survives, and is a resident of Eddyville. He was a member of the Christian Church, to which denomination she also belongs. Socially our subject is a member of the Msonic faternity.
Joseph S. Sprague, father of our subject, was born May 1, 1831, in Muskingum County, Ohio. He removed to Washington County, that state, while young, and resided for many years. Nov. 7, 1852, he married Miss Henrietta Laughery, with whom he lived happily until his death. Commencing poor in life, he resolved to make his word as good as could and, when he had comparatively nothing, he could borrow money or buy property almost without limit. He was a gentleman who feared debt and always advised his children to live within their means. He lived the free and enjoyable live of a farmer, and was one of the most energetic and through-going men in the county. He awoke one night about four weeks prior to his death, and said he wanted his business matters all attended to as he was going to die shortly, though at this time he was in good health. During his illness he manifested a desire to die; once he remarked, " I want to go to that veautiful world where there is no sin or suffering." He united with the Christian Church early in life, and remained a devoted worked in the cause. No person had more confidence in prayer, and his favorite place of prayer was in the woods alone, and in perfect solitude. In life he was active, sociable in disposition, desiring to make friends of everybody. Although residing in Eddyville only about eight months, he formed a large circle of friends, and often spoke of their kindness to him. He left a family of four children, who were all present during his sickness, and who will never forget "Father." His remains were interred in the Eddyville Cemetery, in a vault throughly made of cement, so as to resist the action of warter or other elements. His remains will be preserved for ages.

After 88 Years, Mary Park Denslow Gets A Proper Burial
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Thursday October 28, 2004 23:15:38
I recently received an email from a Carol Klopfenstein who lives in Winfield Iowa. She is a genealogist, and has been helping a helping a friend who descends from Ruel & Juliette (Bebee) Park, through their son, Austin. Until finding my information about the Ruel & Juliette online, her friend did not know who Ruel’s father was. Ruel and Juliette (Beebe) Park was both born and raised in Washington County, Ohio.
In another email to me, she wrote the following about Austin and his daughter, Mary Etta Park Denslow. I won’t bore you with my wording of the email, because here is where it gets interesting, so I will copy & paste some of her email to me here:
“......Austin Park had a daughter Mary Etta Park Denslow and her son was superintendent of our school in Winfield Iowa from 1913 to 1916. Mary lived with her son. Mary went to Calif to visit a neice and lived one week and died out there. She was cremated and her ashes have been in the bank in Winfield for 88 years.
I took the challenge to try to find a living relative and that is how I became involved. I did find a greatgrandson and he came and we did the burial the end of Aug in Missouri.
It is a wonderful blessed story and I would like to share it with you since it is sorta your line. Austin Park's mother was Juliette Beebe Park.
I also found a cousin living in Missouri and he is who I have been helping do genealogy as he didn't know Austin Park father's name, so I was happy to find your information on the internet.
A local man is writing a book about Winfield during the time Mary and her son lived here. The book is about done.........”
I was shocked to read about her ashes being in the bank building for 88 years!!!!
Right away, I emailed another PARK(E) researcher who also descends from Ruel Park and forwarded the email to her about the info that I had just read. She emailed Carol, and we soon found out exactly what cemetery Juliette Beebe Park, Sophronia Mason Parke and Luther Park are buried in.
The story about Mary’s ashes was in many newspapers, even in USA Today.
It is also on the Winfield Historical Society web page. There is a picture there of Carol and her husband and Carol and Phil and Katy Denslow taken at the bank when he received the ashes the end of August.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the article you will see Phil and Katy with the ashes in the cemetery at Lemons, Missouri. The web site is
http://www.winfieldhistoricalsociety.com
CLICK ON “MARY’S ASHES”
THIS IS A MUST READ!! After I finished reading it, I had tears in my eyes. It’s a very touching story.
WAIT!! This get even more interesting....Come to find out Carol, who also has ancestors who once lived in Washington County, Ohio. Here’s another of her emails to me:
.......My mother's maiden name was Payne. I see you have one Payne in your family web site from Watertown and I remember looking in that area.
My greatgreatgrandfather Charles H Payne married Mary Moringstar (Morganstern) 31 Dec 1856 and they soon came to Henry County Iowa. He was born at Marietta Ohio 5 Oct 1831. I believe he was the son of Charles and Jane Gregg Payne.
It seems sometimes I found the name spelled Paine.
He had brothers John, William and Jesse Paine all born in Ohio.
I tried to find more about the Charles and Jane Payne, but have not been able to trace him back farther, census says he was born in the Northeast, Maine, or I don't have it in front of me.
Mary Morningstar (Morganstern) was the daughter of Adam and Mary Morningstar. She was born in Boston, Mass and when young her family moved near Marietta.
Just a couple years ago on the internet I located the Morganstern tombstone and his name was John A Morganstern I think near Vincent, Ohio. I don't have that info right in front of me. I called the library and a wonderful lady went out and took a pictur
of the tombstone for me and e-mailed it to me.
The interesting thing for me is I had a greatgrandfather John Payne that was son of Charles and Mary Morganstern Payne and my John married a Florence Payne daughter of Henry Payne and the Henry Payne came from Harpers Ferry, VA area. I have them searche
way back. Seems they were not related, but way back it might be........
If anyone is doing research on any of the above people, please email me, and I will be glad to forward your email on to Carol.

Marietta Resident Recently Lost His Life In Iraq
Debbie (Noland) Nitsche
Diamonddeb@comcast.net
Saturday October 02, 2004 14:31:40
I believe November’s Newsletter wouldn’t be complete without mention of someone who recently gave his life in the fight for freedom.
Allen Nolan, a Marietta resident died on Sept. 30, 2004 from injuries sustained while driving a fuel truck in Iraq on Sept. 18th. He is the first US soldier from Washington County, killed in combat in Iraq. He was with the Ohio National Guard 660th Transport Unit.
Allen was the youngest son of Robert and Mary Noland, and husband of Gail Noland. Allen and Gail has 5 children. Allen worked at Broughton’s prior to being called into active duty.
Even though I did not know Allen or is no relation to me, my heart goes out to his family and friends in Marietta. From what I have been reading in the Marietta Times, his friends called him a “good guy”. Someone you would never forget and was always helping other people. He was also dedicated to his family and church.
I ask that all those reading this newsletter to please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers. If it wasn’t for people like Allen Nolan, we wouldn’t have the freedom as we do today. Just like many of our Washington County ancestors who died for freedom during the various wars, he will become a part of our history, that our generation, and generations to come will never forget.
