FOREWORD
It’s been four years since I first began work on this publication. At that time, I was simply retyping the History of the Andrew
Powell Family by Homer Powell in an effort to preserve my fading copy. That manuscript has been included in this record and is
of particular interest in that it provides a first-hand account of life on the Andrew Powell farm along with some colorful anecdotes
of Homer’s siblings. It was during this preservation effort that I volunteered to update the genealogy for the 100th reunion, a
task that proved to be a lesson in patience and perseverance (family history not withstanding). I wish to thank all the members
of the Andrew Powell family who contributed to this work by sending me their own family records – they are the real reason for
it’s completion.
Also included in this book are the introductory pages from the 1985 genealogy (The Blue Book), something I felt would
provide some perspective to this volume for those who may not be familiar with the former work or with genealogical
nomenclature (via the decimal system) in general.
I’d also like to thank Howard Troutner and the reunion committee members of 1985 who compiled the first thousand names.
Their careful record keeping served as my guide through this endeavor. Like them, I’ve done my best to ensure a high degree of
accuracy. Although mistakes and omissions are inevitable, they are certainly not intentional.
Lastly, I’d like to thank the reumion committee for their support and guidance. It is their wish that this chronicle serve for many
years to educate and inspire future generations of the Andrew Powell family.

Genealogy of the Andrew Powell Family
The following introduction first appeared in “A Pictorial Genealogy of the Andrew Powell Family; Commemorating 300 Years of the Powell American
Heritage 1685-1985”. Written by H. Eugene Powell (13.1), it portrays some of the “pre-history” of the Andrew Powell family and sites some of the written
works by other family members.
Nine years ago, for the Andrew Powell Family 76th Annual Reunion, August 29, 1976, this writer prepared Bicentennial Notes
on the Philip Powell Family History. Appended was a map showing the “Powell Trace” from Wales to Ohio for six generations
from William (1), an immigrant in 1685, to Andrew (6), who came to Hancock County, Ohio, with his father Samuel (5).
Twenty-four years later Andrew’s grandfather Peter (4) also moved from Fairfield County to Hancock County where he died in
1863 at the age of 86. He was buried in the Powell Cemetery, Eagle Township, where also have been buried a number of his
descendants and relatives.
Peter (2-24-1777 to 9-13-1863) was born in Berks County and Samuel (3-25-1800 to 10-1-1868) in Mifflin County,
Pennsylvania where Peter’s father Philip (1743 to 1821) was buried in a grave no longer marked in the “old” Presbyterian
Cemetery at McVeytown, Pennsylvania. Peter was born during the year that his father Philip served in the Pennsylvania Militia,
probably helping to protect the arsenal near his farm home at Reading, Pennsylvania the winter that George Washington and the
Revolutionary Army spent at Valley Forge.
Our ancestors from Philip (3) down to Andrew (6) were farmers and pioneers, settling near Reading, Pennsylvania, then
McVeytown, then moving on to Lancaster, Ohio and then Findlay, Ohio. Their farm tradition was carried on by all of Andrew’s
fourteen surviving children and their families, with the exception of my father Homer K. Powell (7) who lived and worked on
his father’s farm while teaching country school and attending Findlay college. At the age of 28 he received his first Bachelor of
Science degree, later becoming a principal of a high school, an academy and then professor at two colleges. Many of Andrew’s
descendants remained farmers, spreading out over the Midwest.
It should be noted that the farm tradition at the 1834 location was maintained by the eighth child of Andrew; Ellsworth D.
(1862-1950) who married E. Era Yates. His youngest child and only surviving son Marion (1910-1964) who married Alice
Wyer, continued farming Ellsworth’s farm next to the homestead of Andrew until Marion died tragically in 1964. Ellsworth’s
second child Ilo Mae and husband George Stringfellow purchased the old brick Andrew Powell home, built fronting the Lima
Road (US 25) in 1871-72, which burned in 1901 and was rebuilt. The first family reunion was held there that Christmas and
has continued to be held in and near Findlay ever since. The farm, now retained by Marion’s wife Alice, contains much of the
original homestead. The Andrew Powell brick home, beautifully restored, has been deeded to Marion’s and Alice’s daughter Janet
and son Greg who recently moved back to Ohio and into the home built by his great-grandfather Andrew over one hundred ten
years ago on the one hundred fifty year old farm.
With the computer age upon us and using computer technology to reproduce the records kept by Dorothy (Mrs. Robert)
Shoemaker, Ellsworth’s (7) youngest daughter, we have produced this collection of genealogical records and family photographs
for our Tricentennial Celebration 1685 to 1985. Under the able leadership of President Howard Troutner (9), the son of Lowell
Troutner (8) grandson of Jennie June (Mrs. Elmer) Troutner (7) the 12th child of Andrew Powell (6), together with the help of
many of Andrew’s descendents in contributing vital statistics and photographs, this pictorial genealogy has been produced for the
85th Annual Reunion of the Andrew Powell Family. It may well be the most comprehensive and unique genealogical record of
its kind. Hopefully, it will provide a greater realization of the contributions of our Powell family and other related families to the
life of our country over the past three hundred years.
Appended is a map of the eastern half of the United States showing the “Powell Trace” beginning in Wales (1685) and
extending from New Jersey through Pennsylvania and Ohio. A complete trace of the descendants of Andrew Powell alone would
cover the United States from Ohio to the Pacific Coast and corner to corner.
Also appended herewith is a “key” to the Dewey Decimal System as applied to the generations following Andrew Powell.
We use 1.0 to 15.0 for Andrew’s children; 1.1 to 15.9 for his grandchildren; then 1.1.1 to 15.9.3 for his great-grandchildren,
and so on. We are now into the sixth generation after Andrew. This key will enable the reader to visualize on one page the
method of numbering Andrew’s descendants for ready reference in certain branches of the family tree and in the main body
of this genealogy.

Genealogical accounts for our Powell family have been given in the following references:
1. Reverend John Powell, “Memorial History of Philip Powell of Mifflin County, PA and His Descendants and Others,”
Dayton, Ohio 1880 (Library of Congress).*
2. Mrs. Jessie Powell Moore, “A Brief History of the Philip Powell Family and Preface to the Peter Powell Descendants,”
1936 (18 pages).
3. Homer K. Powell, “History of the Andrew Powell Family,” Adrian College Michigan, 1952 (38 pages, map of
homestead).
A family tree, prepared in 1935 by Jessie Powell Moore and Harley B. Dreisbach (artist) shows the descendants of William
Powell (1). In his history (1952) Homer K. Powell lists over four hundred descendants of Andrew, many of whom took up farming; many also became teachers, some ministers or leaders in religious, educational and scientific vocations, or in the avocations
of music and art.
Andrew’s library contained leather-bound volumes on history, literature, theology, foreign languages, astronomy and chemistry as well as the Bible in several languages, many of them with his autograph and date on the fly-leaf. Where and when
Andrew’s interest in education and such a library arose is uncertain, it is evident that he may have inherited a “thirst for knowledge” which he passed on to his children and succeeding generations.
In Homer’s history he related how the family, after the day’s work was done would gather in the sitting room to read by
lamplight the books of the library, the newspaper or to study their lessons. The younger child the farthest away from the lamp!
Of the books which I inherited from my father are the Bible in English, Latin, French and German, the latter two possibly
having come through my mother Edith DeBerry who taught those languages at West Lafayette College (Ohio) alongside my
father before and after I was born. There is also a history of the Bible and Jewish race by the historian Josephus; a chemistry
published in 1846 when only half of the currently known chemical elements (including uranium at that time) were then known.
An Atlas of the Heavens published in 1835 showing the constellations of mythological creatures, the magnitudes of stars and
details of the size of our solar system with its planets and their satellites out as far as Uranus which was then called Herschel in
honor of a great astronomer. In 1927 this Atlas was painstakingly reproduced as a large chart on oilcloth by my father working
on our parlor floor, for use in teaching Astronomy at Adrian College; this was one of the many factors quoted by President John
Dawson of Adrian College in granting my father the honorary Doctor of Science degree when he was ninety years old and still
very active at the college.
An abiding faith and devotion to religious and Christian principles have been characteristic of the Powells over the generations. Witness the establishment of the Powell Memorial Church on what was the Dixie Highway (US 25) from Findlay to
Lima, near Andrew’s homestead (The church celebrated its centennial in 1983). Its light in the steeple at night guides the traveler on his way.
Andrew Powell had been married twenty-five years when the Powell Memorial Church was established. Thirteen of his
fifteen children had been born and the brick home of his family was but eleven years old. In the early 1920’s, past the front of
the church went the tracks of one of the interurbans which radiated out from Toledo to cities in northwestern Ohio and nearby
Michigan. After our family moved to Adrian, Michigan in 1916 and before we bought our first car in 1925, we traveled on foot
and bicycle to church, college, etc.; out-of-town trips were by interurban to Toledo along the right-of-way followed by the Erie
and Kalamazoo RR which terminated at the courthouse grounds in Adrian. This right-of-way built in 1837 is now shared by
present US 223 and the “old road” of the New York Central. From Toledo we reached the Powell homestead by another interurban running beside the Dixie Highway (US 25) on its way to Lima.
One cannot help but reflect upon the contributions by our Powell ancestors to our country’s agricultural, commercial,
industrial, transportation and educational development over the past three hundred years. The wagon treks from Lancaster,
Pennsylvania to Reading, then McVeytown, which followed Indian trails and later possibly became plank roads. Some of Samuel
Powell’s timber may have gone into building the plank road which stretched northward from Findlay to Toledo across the miles
of the Black Swamp. This covered much of northwestern Ohio after the glacial age left behind what are now the Great Lakes and

the rivers known as the Maumee with its tributaries; the St. Joseph in Michigan and Indiana, meeting the St. Mary’s flowing
from Ohio to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, the Auglaize and the Blanchard flowing through Findlay beside the Riverside Park where our
reunions have been held for many years (“Down By the Old Mill Stream”).
Andrew Powell had multi-faceted interests in addition to the church, family and farm. To name only a few; the development
of oil and gas wells in northwestern Ohio which led to the Ohio Oil Company, later Marathon; the short-lived glass factory in
Findlay which used gas from the wells; possibly this interest even led to the Cooper Tire Company which before World War II
used rubber from far-off countries and afterward had to convert to synthetic rubber made from petroleum. It would be interesting to know how many of Samuel Powell’s descendants attended the country schools of Eagle and Liberty Townships, the area
high schools or Findlay College, to become in turn leaders in education, religion or other fields.
While Andrew was growing to young manhood, canals were built from Ft. Wayne to Toledo along the Maumee River, from
Ft. Wayne westward to the Wabash to provide access to the Mississippi and from Defiance on the Maumee south to Cincinnati
and the Ohio River. St. Mary’s and Indian Lakes were created to supply the latter canal with water. In turn, before the Civil War,
the canals and plank roads were replaced by macadamized roads of crushed stone and, in the following one hundred years, by
the railroads, paved state and interstate highways and the airplane. My father, Homer K. Powell, born four years after the Civil
War lived to travel by foot, by bicycle, interurban, train, car and airplane, from the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec on to the east, to
San Francisco on the west, from Lake Superior on the north to Louisiana on the south. With his interest in astronomy, he would
have enjoyed immensely watching on television the first footsteps of man on the moon in 1969 had he lived for two more years
to be one hundred.
As evidence of the abiding influence of the Andrew Powell family life, witness also the steadfast devotion to religion and
education of my father who saw no conflict between religion and science as he taught mathematics, astronomy, biology, geology
physics and New Testament Greek to undergraduate and pre-ministerial college students. As he substituted for ministers in small
churches near Adrian, to which he would ride his bicycle for at least seven miles on a Sunday morning. He used a bicycle for
transportation to and from Adrian College from 1916 to 1964 when he was compelled to quit by reason of slipping on icy
streets and sidewalks. In his last few years he “kept his hand in” by translating from the original Greek one of Homer’s literary
works. He also purchased four inexpensive paper-back New testaments and wrote a paper on the “Harmony of the Gospels” by
cutting out sections of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, rearranging them to cover the life and works of Jesus in chronological
order. When he died in 1967, much of his library was willed to Adrian College; President John Dawson, D.D., a former preministerial student and graduate of Adrian, asked to be given this “Harmony of the Gospels” in its original form.
Many of the survivors of Andrew Powell’s eighty-six grandchildren could relate their own personal backgrounds and experiences as this writer has. The children of Andrew’s 15th child, James, did just that in 1980 for their reunion held in Oskaloosa,
Iowa, where they gathered their families for a civic performance of the musical production “Georgiana,” the words and music of
which were composed by Iola Cadwallader, James’ youngest child, in honor of the lives of their mother and father. Perhaps the
record of this introduction and reflection upon our genealogical history may lead others to contribute their own family history.

History of the andrew powell family
Homer K. Powell
This account of the Andrew Powell Family or Clan was undertaken by the writer at the suggestion of Othello D. Powell, as president at the reunion of
1950. Some families of the descendants are treated in more detail than others. This is because the location of some is such that knowledge of them is rather
meager. Some of the latest newcomers by marriage and of children may lack mention. Also the writer naturally recorded events in more detail about the
members of the family with whom he was brought up and has first-hand knowledge of their common experiences.
Aid and some quotations have been drawn from members of the family, Powell Memorial History by Rev. John Powell, Powell Family History by the
Media Research Bureau of Washington D.C., and newspaper clippings covering some family events.
The log house was located on rather high ground with a steep
slope to the lower flood ground of the stream. This small
slope afforded a place for sled sliding in winter. Along north
of the house ran a ravine with a ditch ending in the main stream
or creek.
The land first cleared, of course, was that surrounding the
house, leaving woods to the south, later to be gradually cut back
by Andrew and sons till at the present only a small patch of
timber is left by the east bank of the creek next to an adjoining
farm to the south.

Sullivan, March 21, 1865; Huntington, Oct. 14, 1866; Jennie
June, Dec. 14, 1867; Homer K., Feb. 13, 1869.
Caroline Powell died Sept. 19, 1877. Father Powell’s
comment on her, as given in Powell Memorial History, was that
“She was a good, industrious woman, kind and affectionate to
her family.” His third marriage was to Sarah Ann Longbrake, a
widow, March 5, 1878. She was the oldest daughter of Andrew
Fellers, and was born Feb. 24, 1846 in Hancock County, Ohio.
She had been living with her father’s family in Wood County,
Ohio since the death of her former husband, Harmon
Longbrake. Her children by her first husband were: Cora Silva,
Minnie Etta and Curtis. The two daughters later joined
the Powell family. The third set of children were: Inez May,
born Dec. 27, 1878; James Garfield, Oct. 21, 1881; later a son,
still born.
Life of Andrew Powell
Amid these surroundings the boyhood days of Andrew were
passed with his numerous brothers and sisters. Of these youthful days very little of interest is known. Imagination can picture
the children at play about the house and by the stream, and
roving through the woods; but George and Andrew soon were
occupied in helping their father clear away brush and woods and
helping with the farm work. In these same surroundings, which
came into possession of Andrew later, his family was raised,
though somewhat changed as time passed, and became dear in
memory of later years, just as the “Old Oaken Bucket” poem
expresses it:
History of the Andrew Powell Family
About three miles out from the city of Findlay, Ohio, as you
proceed south-west on the Dixie Highway or Lima Road you
come to a low brick residence of bungalow type, close to the left
side of the road. Concerning the family for which this was their
home for many years this account is being written.
Andrew Powell, son of Samuel and Sarah Raubenault
Powell, was born May 25, 1827 near Lithopolis, Fairfield
County, Ohio, the second of a family of thirteen children, eight
sons and five daughters, viz, George W., Andrew, Elisabeth,
Mary, Soloman, Susanna, Christina, Katherine, David,
Abraham, twins Samuel and Gideon, and Valentine.
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view;
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood
And every loved spot which my infancy knew
Andrew was to some extent educated, being somewhat given
to reading and possessing a fair sized library of books. He could
speak Pennsylvanian Dutch, handed down by ancestors from
Pennsylvania. He taught a term of county school one winter.
Ancestry and Early History
The ancestors of Andrew Powell lived in South Wales. It is said
that the ancient Welsh family was descended from a Norman
knight who accompanied William the Conqueror in the
conquest of Britain in 1066. This knight made his home in
Wales. Five Powell brothers came to America about 1685 to
Camden County, New Jersey. One of the brothers, William
Powell, settled near Philadelphia, PA. The Andrew Powell
Family is in his line, the line being as follows: William Powell;
John Powell, who moved to Lancaster County, PA in 1736;
Philip Powell, 1743-1821, moved to Berks County, PA, then to
Mifflin County, PA, near McVeytown, about 1795; Peter Powell,
1777-1863; Samuel Powell, 1800-1868; Andrew Powell,
1827-1916.
Peter Powell moved from Mifflin County, PA to Fairfield
County, Ohio in 1814. Samuel Powell moved from Fairfield Co.
to Hancock County, Ohio, in 1834, when Andrew was seven
years old, and brother Soloman was the youngest child, two
years old. Later that year, November 2nd, sister Susanna was
His Marriages and Children
Andrew Powell was married Dec. 21, 1848 to Phebe Ann Yates,
oldest daughter of William Yates. She was born in Richland
County, Ohio, Nov. 1, 1830.
Their children were: Emily, born Sept. 28, 1849; Theodore,
March 15, 1851; Franklin Pierce, Feb. 12, 1853; Priscilla
Catherine, Oct. 26, 1854; Elijah, May 22, 1856 (died Dec. 3,
1870); Roger Sherman, Feb. 14, 1858.
Phebe Ann Powell died Sept. 15, 1859. Father Powell
married his second wife, Caroline Dotson of Allen County,
Ohio, March 15, 1860. She was the daughter of Charles Dotson
and was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, Dec. 14, 1838. She
had been living with the John Horn family in Findlay before
marriage. Their children were: Sarah Ellen, born June 15, 1861;
xix
born. She married Andrew Sager. The journey evidently was
made in a conestoga wagon with spacious box of curved bottom
like a flat bottomed boat. Such a wagon box was still preserved
on the home farm in the memory of the writer.
Samuel Powell and wife with their brood of five children
settled three miles south-west of Findlay in the woods on the
bank of a small stream and built a large log cabin of two stories,
front facing the east toward the stream which later the family
designated as The Run or Creek. This house was fronted with a
large open porch over which the houseclapboard roof extended
supported by logs extending from the house sides. The house
was built from the surrounding woods, cut hewn and split suitable for walls, puncheon floor and clapboard shingles. A large
fireplace and chimney built of stone and brick occupied the
middle of one end, and a rustic ladder led to the upstairs in the
north-east corner of the one big room. Later after the old log
house ceased to be occupied an old tool chest that had a strong
musk scent remained on the first floor, and some of the children
of Andrew Powell built little play houses in the upstairs story of
brick from the chimney. Linwoodlumber from a house that had
stood on a remote part of the farm was piled in the house.
Near the house were other log buildings, a hen-house and
corn crib near the stream, a sheep shed east across from the
stream, with log poles laid over the clapboard shingles to keep
wolves from getting into the sheepfold. These were evidently
among the first buildings constructed. Other log buildings were
a large barn, a corn-crib and hen roost over pig pens, located
back north of the house. A few rods beyond these last mentioned
buildings ran the road from Findlay south-west to Lima usually
called the Lima road, now route no. 25.
In 1851, Andrew bought for $800 his first farm of eighty
acres in Findlay Township, to the east of the old homestead, and
soon had cleared considerable of the woods; but left twenty acres
at the extreme eastern part for a fine sugar camp which, at its
greatest development, afforded 300 tapped trees. A north-south
road passes thru this eighty dividing it into forties. Later he
added to his farm other adjoining land until it became about
300 acres. A forty bought in 1858 cost $350. In 1863 he paid
$1500 for 120 acres, and in 1868 another forty cost $2300.
An orchard lay to the rear of the large house and a bee shed
in a corner of the orchard immediately back of the house. Other
buildings nearby were a brick springhouse, so called, with a
cellar for milk and a rear room with cider press and fireplace; a
woodhouse, smokehouse, etc. Some of the above named buildings were nearby, along a lane beyond the ravine that passed in
front of the house. There was a house over east by the road dividing the eastern part of the farm, which was occupied for a time,
as the writer understands, by grandfather Samuel Powell after
leaving the former home to Andrew.
The Civil War was going on along at this time, and in 1864
Mr. Powell was drafted into the army as a member of an independent company for one hundred days service. He sent a
substitute, paying him $100. At the expiration of the 100 days
“he was drafted for a year’s service. He again sent a substitute and
paid him $1000.”
In 1871-72 he built a brick mansion fronting the Lima road,
at a cost of about $8000. Here he continued to reside till the
time of his death. The brick for this large building was made
from local clay and burned in a kiln across the road from the
house. Several outbuildings, some of brick, were built at the
same time, one being a bake-oven and apple drying house joined
under one roof with open space between for cart, wheel barrow
and garden tools. A frame woodhouse adjoined the rear side of
the house, and nearby under one roof a combined work-house
and buggy shed, poultry house and pigpen. A garden and grape
arbor adjoined the yard on the south-west next the road, and
back of the garden a frame bee shed forming three sides of a
rectangle with open part to the south-east. A new orchard occupied the back space between these buildings and the former
home place.
In 1873 he built a sheep barn by the old log sheep-shed and
a barn near the house by the road over to the east at a cost of
$400. Then “in 1875 he built the main barn near his residence
at a cost of $3500” and a cow barn and pig-pen with upper story
for corncrib.
The foundation stones for the older buildings were gotten
from water-lime strata in the bed of the local creek. This quarry
afforded a swimming hole in the stream, which was patronized
by the family lads and was used for sheep washing for some time.
The foundation stones for the new brick house and the other
adjacent buildings were massive dolomitic limestone from
Niagara strata east of Findlay. Andrew improved the crop yielding capacity of his land with tile drain ditches, the creek affording a handy outlet. John Vollweiler, a neighbor, did considerable
of this ditching.
Father Powell as a Farmer
Andrew Powell and first wife “went housekeeping in the old log
house his father built when he first came to the county and
farmed for his father.” Here his first set of children were born.
Meantime his father had built a two story house, partly log and
partly frame, a few rods west and back from the old log house.
In this house the children of his second wife were born. This was
a large house suitable for the large family of Samuel Powell and
also later for Andrew’s family, to whom it was willed in 1858,
and into which he moved in the spring of 1859. The house was
a sort of double with a hallway from front to rear on the first
floor between the two parts; the smaller part built of logs
boarded over on the outside and on the inside of the first floor.
It had a fireplace at one end of the large room which was used as
a kitchen. The parents bed occupied a back corner, while several
of the younger children slept in a trundle bed which for the day
was pushed under the parent’s bed. The older children slept
upstairs. The larger frame part of the house entered from the
hallway and had a garret or loft to which a stairway led from the
second story. A cozy little room fronted the upstairs over the
hallway below. The plastered walls of this little room later had
many name signatures left by momento minded people. A porch
extended along the front at the right end of which, as you faced
it, was a small room adjoining the larger part of the house. This
little room, according to the writer’s knowledge, was occupied in
his old age by grandfather Powell and wife.

Often the spring work opened with wood chopping, clearing a section of the woods to the south or cutting out the dense
undergrowth and some trees on the forty acres cornering the
main farm to the south-east, known also as the blackberry patch,
from the fact that in earlier days a cleared part had grown up
with blackberry bushes yielding much desired pickings. Father
Powell furnished the three younger sons with small axes suitable
for boys of their age, and when the six brother group, including
Sherman of the older set, attacked the forest it rapidly vanished
into piles of brush, four foot cordwood and fence rails from
the ash trees.
As soon as the ground was fit, plowing for oats and corn
planting began. The corn planting, usually coming near the
tenth of May, first was by hoe, the hills being indicated by a
horse drawn sled marker of three runners with shovels attached.
Pumpkin seed later was planted spaced several hills and rows
apart by a younger boy. The writer, in his first attempt at pumpkin seed planting, misplaced some hills at a corner of the field,
using horse tracks where the markings were indistinct, causing
confusion; for which carelessness he received punishment. Later
a two horse corn planter was introduced. The grains were
checked off at cross markings by a handle operated by one of the
younger boys.
Father Powell kept a large flock of sheep which along this
time of year were washed and sheared. The method of calling the
sheep together for transfer to another place was accomplished by
father calling, Sheep! Sheep!, upon which the sheep began
following him, and the boys followed back of the flock driving
on any delaying ones. The sheep washing, as before mentioned,
was done in the creek, the water being deepened by a dam which
father made with a plank across the stream. The sheep were
herded in a rail pen by the stream from which father handed
them out to the washers. One time it began raining while at the
washing, from which disagreeable condition several of us were
hoarse with a cold for several days. At the time of sheep washing
it was, for a time, the part of the writer to hold the lambs while
father cut off tails with a chisel and altered them. His young
heart felt pity for the innocent little creatures, but the pain of the
ordeal doubtless was brief.
Sheep shearing was conducted on the barn floor, the first
method used being to strap the sheep by neck and hind legs to
a bench, shearing one side then turn them over finishing with
the other side. Later the sheep was set on top of a box on its
rump, being supported on the arm and breast of the shearer.
Finally the box was discarded and the sheep set on the floor.
Father did the bundling of the wool on a bench specially
designed for that purpose.
The corn cultivation was done the first time with a three
shovel one horse cultivator; the second and third cultivation
with a double shovel cultivator. Father made little two toothed
wooden rakes which the younger boys used to set up the corn
covered as the older boys cultivated. The later cultivations were
attended with a hoe to remove weeds. Finally the two horse
cultivator came into use.
Potato planting and garden making came at the usual time
in the spring. The garden was rather ornamental, fenced in with
paling fence as was the yard, with sunken paths, four large beds
Order of Work for a Year on the Farm
For about three months during the winter the children of school
age attended school in the brick school house about three fourth
mile south-west by the Lima Road. The younger school age children, not old enough to be needed in farm work, attended the
full term of school and also if there was an extra short spring
term, which some schools conducted at that time. The writer
recalls his first schooling during such a short term under Emza
Kibler, who later became the wife of the oldest son, Theodore.
Those school days were happy days, coming as a relief after the
strenuous farm work of the season was over, and the pleasure
derived from the recess and noon intermissions when sports,
especially town ball and scrub or rotation (pigtail we called it)
were indulged in; also prisoners base, draw base, andy over, crack
the whip, etc.
The teachers usually were women from Findlay, a couple of
whom roomed and boarded in our house, viz. Jennie Ardener
and Jennie Eckles. Other teachers were Cal Phillips, Sally
Morrison, Emma Hedges, Chester Powell, Anna Miller and
Sadie Miller.
The first old school house was torn down and a new brick
built in the 1870’s. A peculiar unpleasant episode occurred in
connection with the new building. When completed, three of
the Powell brothers (Sullivan, Huntington and Homer) went to
the school house to look around. Homer approached the door
and turned the knob. He heard something fall on the floor
inside, and the door was easily opened. We went in, found the
latch and locker fallen on the floor and looked around, but did
not disturb anything. On leaving we met Bill Hoppas who lived
nearby and sort of kept watch as to the school house. He
assumed we had broken into the house and chided us for the
deed. He reported it to the school Director, who came one day
after school opened to fix the latch and lock and scolded Sullivan
for this assumed vandalism on our part. Sullivan vigorously
denied it. Now, what was really back of this wrong accusation of
the boys? Homer was aware that he was the one who opened the
door, but being young and timid, did not explain to Mr. Hoppas
how the door opened without violence, though he wondered as
to the fault being his. Possibly someone had been there before
and broken in and left a faulty closed door, or the lock may not
have been fastened securely so that as a result it fell down on
manipulating the outside knob and broke in the fall. Among our
schoolmates were Frank Cooper, the Taylors, Smaltzes, Hamlins,
Swishers, Cramers, Fluggas and Powell relatives.
About the beginning of March when spring was opening
school was over for the boys needed for work on the farm. This
began at a rather early age for the boys at least. It was a sad
Monday morning when the school bell rang and we could not
obey its call but must put school books and play aside and take
up the usual farm work for another year. Usually, if the weather
was favorable, the first thing in order of work for the new year
was opening of the sugar camp. Buckets, kettles, hogshead
barrels, wooden spiles and other camp paraphernalia were gotten
out, hauled over to the camp at the far east end of the farm, trees
tapped, kettles hung and the boiling down of sap to molasses
or sugar begun. The sugar camp operation was pleasant
and romantic.

between which centered flower beds, and currant and berry
bushes around the outer border of the garden.
Hay making came in June. Father was rather slow about
adopting new machinery to lighten labor. He had sufficient help
without the extra machinery. In the earlier days father did the
mowing and raking together of the hay, and the boys, with some
hired help at times, loaded it and put it in the mow with pitch
forks. The younger boys followed the pitchers in the field while
loading, raking together the leavings on the ground. Also in the
mow it was the unpleasant duty of the younger to tramp down
the hay while being unloaded. This was disagreeable work, especially when the hay had to be packed in under the roof on a hot
summer day.
We envied the man doing the unloading and later were
somewhat relieved when we succeeded to that job. Finally a
single harpoon hay fork was installed in the large barn, and hay
making became less laborious. A balky horse episode once
occurred in hay making. A mare named Gray balked in the field
in pulling the load. Thereupon father unhitched and mounted
her, galloped around the field, beating her lower side where
the chain had repeatedly struck; but she performed her duty
thereupon.
Wheat harvest came along the fore part of July. The earlier
used reaping machine felled the grain on a platform from which
a man on the machine with a rake shoved it off in suitable sized
bunches for sheaves. A Champion selfrake was next used, father
being the driver. The binding into sheaves was done by the boys
and hired help, proceeding around the field by stations. The
boys too young to bind gathered the sheaves in piles of a dozen,
which the men shocked later. The writer, one hot summer day
had the job of gathering the sheaves which were spread out over
quite a large area. It was tiresome, tedious work for so young a
lad. That night, sleeping with brother Charlie, he was dreaming
of gathering sheaves, ceaselessly dragging them together.
Suddenly he was awakened by Charlie yelling “Here, what are
you doing?", and found himself up on his knees in bed pulling
away at the covers. Finally the self-binder followed the reaper
and harvesting became somewhat lightened.
Oats harvest followed usually in late July or early August.
Wheat was put away in the barn mow or stacked, and oats
always was put in the barn. Oats hauling was comparatively
pleasant work in the fine August weather.
Manure hauling came next and plowing the oats stubble for
wheat sowing, the manure being scattered by fork from piles in
which it had been unloaded at the time of hauling.
Corn cutting came in September. In the earlier times father
made the galluses for the shocks and also made rye straw bands
for tying the shocks. Toward the close of the day he brought the
bands to the field and with the help of a younger boy tied the
shocks. The plan of cutting when about five or six of us were at
it was for the two older to take the outer corn rows of the sixteen
row wide shock row, inner rows for next younger and innermost
next the shock by the youngest. This was the order of work
when, on a September afternoon we were cutting corn in the ten
acre field next the barn, word was brought to us of Dr. Hurd
being summoned for mother who had been ailing for several
days. We were made aware of the possibility of her dying.
That night she passed on. We were all awakened from sleep and
father was bowing his head over his arms on the table and weeping bitterly.
Apple gathering, snitzing, making cider and apple butter
came along in October. Corn husking and pumpkin hauling
finished the year’s work. When the last shock was husked a big
whoop of joy rent the air, and we were ready for school by about
the beginning of December.
The winter chores were usually divided as follows: Father
took care of the sheep and pigs, the older boys the horses and
cattle and the youngest the calves. Milking was performed by
both boys and girls. Chickens and ducks looked after by the
younger boys. The ducks were accustomed to going to the creek
during the day and on their return one evening a wild duck had
joined them. On hog butchering day kettles were hung early in
the washhouse fireplace, filled with water, fire made, and water
heated to boiling, hogshead barrels placed for hog scalding, pigs
shot with a rifle and stuck, scalded, hair scraped off on a platform, then hung from nearby posts. Father did the cutting open
of the pigs and taking out the insides. The women prepared the
entrails for sausage making, and after the hogs were cut up the
lard finally rendered.
Some neighboring men and tenants at times were hired to
help out with the farm work. George Bouvering helped at hay
making in 1878. While at this job one day we all stopped work
long enough to have a picture of the house taken with the family
in working clothes lined up on top of the front porch and
George standing below in the yard. Other helpers were Frank
Black and Conrad Diefenbaugh. Tenants living in the older
houses and helping on the farm were Jim Lovell, Jack Teams,
George Hoppas, Frank DeLong, a cousin who married sister
Priscilla, and Bill Woods. Other early tenants were a Mr. and
Mrs. Sutton and Joseph Valetine and family. Mr. Valetine was
unfortunate in being subject to insanity for a time occasionally
when he had to be taken to an asylum.
In the writers memory father never served at full time regular farm work, since he had plenty of help. Besides overseeing he
took care of such jobs as orchard and fruit tree pruning, and
keeping things in shape in general besides the work before
mentioned. He devoted somewhat of time to taking care of bees.
In the Memorial History of the Powell Family he says: “In 1852
I commenced bee culture, and have found it a very pleasant
occupation. I began with one colony, which trebled itself the first
year. I had good luck all the way. My apiary prospered so well
that within ten years I had nearly one hundred colonies. The
next year I had over one hundred new swarms. Some days I had
as high as twelve swarms. I united the swarms so as to reduce the
number to about one half, and commenced the winter with
about one hundred colonies. I have the common black bee.”

Events and Anecdotes Connected with Life on the Farm
A number of small incidents attending life on the farm as
“memory reverts to my fathers plantation” may be of interest to
recall. Some of these incidents concern dangerous situations but,
considering the number of children involved, we all came
through with very little permanent bodily harm. The one of
permanent misfortune occurred during father and mother’s visit
with her folks in the Lima, Ohio region. In the old woodhouse
one of the boys was pounding a nail, or one report had it a brick,
when a piece struck Huntington, then a small child, in the right
eye. His eye was permanently blinded, and mother on
arriving home, shocked at the sight, bewailed her pretty baby
son’s misfortune.
Both Hunter (as he was called for short) and Homer when
very young and not aware of the danger of such procedure, each
were rough handled by a sow pig when their curiosity impelled
them to enter her den and proceed to handle her little brood (or
wutslings as we named them).
One time when hauling manure to a field beyond the east
road brother Theodore, living then in the house by that road and
helping with the manure hauling, at noonday dinnertime turned
the driving of the team home over to brother Sherman. The
horses became unmanageable, under a scare probably, and ran
away down the lane toward home. All of the boys fell off the
wagon except Hunter who stuck to the boards of the wagon till
the horses were stopped by a gate near the creek. None were
particularly hurt except Homer, the youngest. A wheel passed
over his arm. Sherman picked him up and tried to soothe his
pain with sympathetic words.
One evening Sullivan was using an axe on wood in the
woodhouse when Homer was loading wood in his arm close by
to be carried to the kitchen woodbox. One of the axe strokes
came down on Homer’s shoulder, but was muffled by his thick
winter clothing so that it did not penetrate to cut the shoulder.
Had it struck a few inches farther in on the head he probably
would have been seriously wounded or even killed.
One Sunday afternoon, after we were living in the new brick
house, a storm of violent wind which we designated as a hurricane, probably a small tornado, passed over the farm from the
west. Father exerted considerable strength to shut a west door
against the wind and rain. When it was over a section of the
woods to the South presented a ruin of trees broken off. The
storm seemed to make dips downward at intervals. It ripped off
the roof of the Hoppas barn, and later we found a small area in
the sugarcamp woods denuded of trees.
The old barn became the roosting place of a large flock of
pigeons from a pair gotten earlier. They became so numerous
that some boys from Findlay came one evening and we caught
and sold them a number for their use in trying their skill in mark
shooting.
A sad incident of our earlier days occurred in connection
with sheep and a dog we had named Tippy. Father put some
poison on a sheep that had been killed by dogs. Our Tippy got
some of that poison and had spasms from it of which she was
relieved with the help of some milk. But later on Saturday P.M.
Charlie went with Tippy down to the creek where evidently she
drank some water. The spasms returned and she died in them.
We buried her in a box in a fence corner by the creek meadow.
On Sunday, a warm sunny day, some of us visited the grave after
church, sad at heart at the loss of our friend Tippy. We had no
dog after that for many years till we got a small one named Tony.
He died after a few years; then later a dog stopped off and made
her home at our place. She was nice, well behaved and was given
the name Brownie from her shaggy brown hair.
One night Homer awoke to hear what he thought was the
turkeys gobbling on their roost. The next morning father found
several dogs after the sheep in the field adjoining the barn and
several were killed. Had Homer been better aware of the meaning of the sound he was hearing the disaster to the sheep could
have been stopped ere so much damage was wrought.
An Irish peddler was accustomed to come along occasionally
selling linen table clothes etc. Like the Irish usually are he was
gifted with the verbiage of a good salesman, stating that his
clothes were “stiff as a board.” His wares were O.K. and
purchases made.
A loft above the brick springhouse near the old frame house
was the depository of a variety of outworn footwear of the children when infants. We found many little shoes etc. cast away
when outgrown, mementos of those earlier days, giving rise to
sentimental reflections worthy of a poets pen. Father was accustomed to outfitting us with boots once a year before winter.
Often repairs were needed before the new set came.
There was a time when the ague took hold of some of us
children. Every other day we would have a chill along with some
fever. Father would pour cold water over our heads to reduce the
fever. Other light ailments attended our childhood, such as
mumps and chickenpox. The George Crossley neighbor family
had the smallpox, and two of the children, Dave and Emma,
schoolmates, died from it. It caused quite a scare, and the family
affected was quarantined for a time.
The Blanchard River (subject of Tell Taylor’s “The Old Mill
Stream” ran some two miles north of home. Occasionally in the
spring the boys went fishing to its banks. The creek that runs
through the farm flows into the Blanchard River. One Saturday
in winter Homer thought it would be an interesting exploring
adventure to follow up the creek to find where it rises. He travelled along the bank through the woods and farmlands, on the
way the stream passes along the end of a schoolyard by a road
beside which, some distance to the east, stood a brick house. He
kept on til the stream was a mere shallow ditch of a couple of feet
width filled with leaves. He concluded he had just about reached
the source and returned home. He afterward determined that
the school passed must be the Swale School and the brick house
that of Uncle Henry Hartmann. This stream afforded a favorable
abode for muskrats, and a number were trapped and skins sold,
mainly by Hunter. Once he brought a trapped dead animal
home of unknown name. Father identified it as a mink.
Father at one time bought several shooting firearms, one
being a single-barreled shotgun. The family was not given to do
much hunting; but one day Father let us go hunting with the
xxiii
shotgun. Not much game appeared except a squirrel or so. We
were late for supper, and the mush we usually had for supper had
become cold, and whether its state or our sylvan ramble that
caused it, we had to expel it from our stomachs.
The five boys of the second set of children had each a little
garden space fenced off along the ditch below the old loghouse
at a point where two lanes united. Each spring, with interest
worthy of a larger enterprise, we did our truck planting in each
one’s small patch of a square rod more or less. In the side yard of
the loghouse next by the garden some of us stuck tree sprouts in
the ground which took root and grew into fair-sized trees; especially a willow tree from a sprout stuck in by Charlie. Several
cedar trees in the yard of the brick home were found by Sullivan
when clearing the forty acres before-mentioned and planted by
Father where they now stand.
One time there was a large amount of piled wood and brush
piles from a spring clearing of the woods to the south side of the
farm. Father set the brush piles afire, and the following night the
fire appeared to be rather bright, so several of the boys went up
there fearing that it might be getting at the wood piles. It was
mainly the brush piles afire, but fire had just caught at a long
wood pile, and they were just in time to prevent its loss. They
stayed there the rest of the night, during which they got some
apples stored in the old framewood house, awaking Mr. Teams
who thought possibly burglars were about. He was living then in
the larger part of the house. Sullivan built a little hut in which
we crawled, at least partly, while a rainshower passed. That
morning Father appeared when we were leaving the scene
anxious to learn how things turned out. The night’s experience
was romance for the boys.
The ten acre field adjoining the barn and other farm buildings must have been the scene of an Indian village or stopping
place; for the field near the creek was rich in Indian relics and
chippings of flint made from the fashioning of arrowheads, etc.
Some relics were found on other parts of the farm. The boys sold
some to William Taylor, a neighbor, who made a specialty of
collecting relics, etc. The relics were chiefly arrowheads; others
were Indian hammers, skinning knives, tomahawks, spearheads,
etc. Taylor paid a penny for an arrowhead and ten cents for a
tomahawk or skinning knife. He had a brass combined tomahawk and smoke pipe found on the Hoppas farm. He finally
gave his collection to Findlay College where it may know be
seen. Some of the boys retained fair collections for themselves.
Hunter had the unique luck in digging potatoes of digging out
two Indian hammers in the same potato hill.
When a group of hogs were ready for sale, the boys drove
them on the Lima Road to Findlay to the L.E. & W.R.R. station
for shipping. Peter Solt was a chief shipper for the pigs.
Some of the boys developed mechanical skill, and as often is
the case with boys in their teens, constructed contraptions for
play and amusement, such as little four-wheeled wagons, sleds,
windmills and finally, bicycles. The windmills were located on
the roof of a sheep shed by the log framed barn. A large wind
pump by the house served as a model to go by. Sullivan was quite
proficient in making such structures. Also he was quite artistic in
drawing, in painting, in watercolors. Homer also followed suit,
and both have drawing books with flowers among the best paintings. This work was usually done in the evening on the table
after the supper dishes were removed. Portraits of men in battles
also were made. They carved portraits of General Santa Anna
and of President Garfield on beechtrees in the sugar camp, that
being the time of his presidency and assassination, when his
pictures were prominently displayed and familiar. They also
became interested in astronomy and study of the heavens, developed somewhat in reading books on the subject from father’s
library. This interest eventuated in their making a sort of model
of the solar system, representing the planets by wooden balls, etc.
Homer made maps of the heavens with drawings of the constellation figures, which were useful in teaching astronomy, later in
college. Of much interest was the great comet of 1882
which stretched for many degrees in the morning eastern sky
of September.
At one time the boys amused themselves by cutting off the
point end of a couple of buck horns, thus making a blow horn
through the hollow within. A very loud blast could be made
with such a horn. This performance doubtless was much like the
horns used by the Hebrew priests.
Those were horse and buggy days, and for what little travel
the family did, several types of vehicles were used. Saturday was
the usual time farmers made a weekly trip to Findlay for
purchases, mail and weekly newspaper. Our parents usually
followed this custom, but the children seldom went along, the
boys usually working the full Saturday during the farm work
season. The one day for the whole family to load up in the
wagon and proceed to Findlay was for the annual county fair. In
the earlier days it was held in the region of the present Byal Park.
One year, out about the time of wheat harvest, Father agreeably
surprised us by taking us to Cells Brothers Show. That was an
experience some details of which still linger in memory. Other
big days in town were enjoyed occasionally. Besides the wagon as
a means of travel were a two horse topped carriage, an open two
seated express and a one seated open buggy. The big high
carriage was seldom used. The rider recalls its use in a trip to visit
mother’s relatives, the Dotsons, etc. in and about Lima. Another
trip was to visit sister Emily and family at that time living on a
farm near Tiffin, Ohio. Also, it conveyed us to some township
Sunday school conventions.
Christmas morning as now enjoyed by children with electric
light bespangled tree and profusion of gifts was a far simpler
affair for the Powell children. On Christmas Eve the younger
children, anticipating a visit down the big chimney of Kris
Kringle, provided receptacles, caps, etc., lined up for the gifts on
the dining room table, in which in the morning they usually
found a man-shaped fatcake of doughnut type for the boys and
a girl-shaped one for the girls.
For intellectual and social benefit, and affording opportunity for oratorical expression, the teenage boys and girls with
some from the neighborhood started a literary society, utilizing
the large kitchen of the old house for the meetings on Saturday
evenings. Washington Literary Society was the name adopted.
xxiv
It was fairly well attended by the boys and girls of the family and
neighborhood and occasionally by older people. In colder
weather the fireplace was utilized to heat the room, though
sometimes smoke from it bothered the eyes.
demorest declamation prohibition contests were held there, and
a number of the boys and girls of the neighborhood won silver
medals and one of them, Inez Powell, a gold medal in a contest
of the silver medal winners. The church and land it occupied was
bought by Frank Cooper, a member of the league, and partly
paid for by the holding of several festivals for that purpose.
When the league ceased to function the property was sold and
proceeds divided as a gift to the two churches of the neighborhood. The old church house still stands being used as a barn.
Home Habits of the Family
Father Powell was the first one to arise in the morning and start
the stove fires. The chores were attended to, Father taking care
of feeding the hogs and sheep, the older boys the horses, others
the cows and milking and the younger the calves, chickens and
ducks. When breakfast was prepared the family assembled in the
sitting room for worship, Father reading the Bible and making
the prayer, all kneeling. Then all assembled around the dining
room table for breakfast, Father at the head of the table, Mother
next to his left and the girls down that side of the table in order
of age; the boys to the right on the bench back of table next the
wall in order of age; thus the youngest boy and girl joined each
other at the foot of the table when the full family was present. A
dinner bell occupying a little belfry atop the back washhouse
sounded its joyful tones summoning workers to refreshment of
food and some rest at noon and maybe for supper toward
evening. The main item of food for supper was mush and milk
a good diet on which to sleep. The evening chores being
completed and supper dishes put away, the family for the most
part were assembled in the sitting room, part of them reading
papers and books or preparing school lessons for the next day.
The order of assembly around the kerosene lamp on a stand at
the bookcase corner was as follows; Father occupied a chair in
front of the oaken bookcase the lamp to his left. Mother or the
oldest boy by the lamp to the other side next the wall. The others
to the front of the lamp and receding further away to an obscure
distance where light was dimmer and nearer heads partly cut out
direct light. Father went to bed about 9 p.m. with admonition
for the rest of us to get to bed also, which was rather tardy of
being obeyed.
The arrival of Saturday evening was most welcome, for it
meant a Sabbath of rest from usual labor. All attended Sunday
School and church service on Sunday morning at the evangelical
church a half mile nearer Findlay from home, and later the
Powell Memorial U.B. Church erected a quarter mile in the
opposite direction by the Lima Road. The old evangelical brick
church was attended by the related Powell and other families of
Grandfather Samuel Powell’s clan, and witnessed many happy
revival meetings and religious testimonies of the worshippers. In
accordance with the custom of the times a rail across the seat
tops run down the middle of the central section dividing the
men from the women. The church was remodeled about the year
1883 with a middle aisle style. This same year the Powell
Memorial Church was built on Andrew Powell land, he being
the main promoter of its building. The evangelical church house
was finally abandoned when a new church, built in nearby West
Park addition to Findlay, took its place. Its seats were removed to
the tabernacle of the Byal Campground. For several years a
prohibition league, having put plank seats in the old church,
held meetings there. This was along in the nineties. A number of
Some Characteristics of Andrew Powell
Enterprises Promoted
Father Powell in some ways was progressive and a promoter of
beneficial enterprises, though a little slow to adopt new and
uncertain innovations. The building of the above mentioned
church is a case in the benevolent phase of his life. The erection
of this Powell Memorial Church came about in this manner; the
descendants of Phillip Powell, chiefly settled and living about
Findlay and Benton Ridge, formed the Powell Reunion
Association, which held a reunion August 15, 1878 on the camp
meeting ground on the land of a Phillip Powell near Benton
Ridge. At this reunion a resolution was adopted to hold another
reunion on August 19th and 20th 1880, which was held on the
Andrew Powell farm near Findlay. Reverend John Powell was
chief promoter of these reunions and was authorized to “write
and publish an authentic genealogical memorial history of
Phillip Powell and his descendants;” which he did. From this
history data and quotations appear in this History of the Andrew
Powell family. These gettings together and promotions of the
Powell clan led to the desire to build a church as a memorial to
the Powells. The place selected was on the Andrew Powell farm
and it was built and dedicated as a United Brethren Church in
1883. The oversight and direction of the erection of this church
devolved mainly on Andrew Powell, and he was its main financial support in the following years. The church society that
began worship in the church was started in the nearby schoolhouse during the summer while the church was being erected. A
Reverend J.W. Powell of the U.B. Church was called in to
preach, and thus was laid the groundwork of the first revival he
held in December, when many young people were converted
and joined the church. Since then this church has been the scene
of many happy revival meetings and the conversion of many
people young and old of the community, among them a number
of the Andrew Powell family.
The Powell home became the chief host to the various
pastors of the church. Father Powell became a life member of the
American Bible Society thru a $25 contribution and thereby was
entitled to receive annually a gift Bible which he presented to a
child, starting with the older and following down to the younger
as the years passed by.
In promotions of a civic nature he contributed $1000 to the
building of the T. & O.C. R.R., which allowed him to take the
family on a free ride to Toledo to attend the Tri State Fair one
day. This was the first train ride enjoyed by the teenage children.
The most unfortunate enterprise of which he became a promoxxv
tor was a glass factory established in West Park of Findlay in the
1890’s following the great natural gas boom. Through the final
failure of the enterprise he lost a greater part of his farm. His
financial standing made him the resort of people desiring bail
backing, which, in several cases, resulted in his taking the loss.
Father Powell was outstanding in some of his personal characteristics. He was frugal, thrifty, industrious, simple in habits,
honest, dynamic, rigid in discipline, holding strong opinions,
well informed as his large collection of books and extensive reading bear witness. The Rev. John Powell Memorial History quotes
father Powell as saying “At the age of 21 I made up my mind to
follow the golden rule in all my transactions, to adopt fixed principles to govern me in my daily life, and to make my word as
good as my note. When I made a promise, I endeavored to fulfill
it, and always found honesty to be the best policy”. That was a
very commendable resolution which he endeavored to carry out;
but in carrying out his principles and purposes, and under the
trying circumstances of managing and disciplining a large family,
he probably was over strenuous, dominating and severe, which
sometimes occasioned trouble with his children and others. But
those were times when disciplinarians were accustomed to use
severe means and the rod, which he did not spare, while later
parents and teachers have found milder means of securing obedience and good conduct with their children. Presumably in his
advanced years father himself felt some compunctions as to
strenuous ways in former days. Age has a tendency to mellow
the disposition.
Besides the cultural value afforded by his library and the religious practices in the home, music was also provided by an organ
and piano, girls being the performers. Ella was sent to Ada music
school for lessons and became the player in the earlier days; later
Belle Owens of Findlay gave music lessons to Jennie and Cora
Longbrake. Cora served as organist in the church for some time.
The family and descendants were for the most part gifted in
music and song, and were an aid in church worship. Welsh
blood may have something to do in this proclivity. Four of the
boys of the second set of children formed a quartet which sang
on some special occasions, chiefly religious. Especially well liked
and harmonious were the songs about The Lower Lights
(“Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy”) and the Prodigal Son
(“What Shall I Do, I Am Poor and Forsaken”).
In respect to education beyond the common school father
did not take much stock. He thought it made for uppishness and
spoiled boys for following farming, which he wished his sons to
follow. However, two of his sons pursued college work, which did
not seem to produce such undesirable results; for one of them,
after teaching for some time, devoted himself to farming, becoming very proficient in that calling, doubtless aided by his education, and the other one, though following the teaching
profession, yet loves the soil and trusts he has not wandered from
the simple life. Father may have been to some extent justified in
his opinion of college bred young men since comparative few at
the time went to college, especially from the farm, and usually
those few would likely enter a white collar position and be looked
upon as somewhat uppish and above the common clod hopper.
On a morning in December 1901 a misfortune, of profound
effect on sentimental minds cherishing memories of the dear
haunts and treasures of childhood and youthful days, befell the
large brick mansion with some of its treasures. It was burned to
the ground. At that time the writer was serving as Principal of
Barkeyville Academy in Pennsylvania. He received a letter from
sister Inez on opening which he found written on rather poor
quality paper and also enclosed a small piece of newspaper
charred at the edge. The letter conveyed the account of the sad
event. His bunking partner, Ezra Yates, then assistant teacher in
the Academy and destined to become the husband of Inez, was
present to share in sympathy the deep emotion aroused by the
message. Some years previously the brick floored back extension
of the house, called the washhouse, was given a wood floor on
top of the brick and extended into the fireplace which had
ceased to be used. Before the floor was put in the chimney above
the fireplace had been closed with a board so as to prevent soot
from falling down into it. It did not occur to our minds that the
board above might catch fire from the soot and thus endanger
the floor to fire. That was precisely what happened.
Unfortunately this occurred in the night when all were in bed
sleeping. Father, on rising in the morning and opening the door
leading from the kitchen-diningroom to the washhouse found it
all ablaze. Efforts to quench the fire by water were in vain. Most
of the furniture, etc. was saved, but in the darkness of the early
morning some things were missed and went up with the flames,
among which was a scroll with bust drawings of the five brothers of the second set of children, made by the writer, with gift
frame from members of the family. The family moved back into
the old house. Some insurance was on the burnt home and a
new house as it appears at present was built within the old brick
walls, somewhat reduced in height.
Family Reunions
At Christmas time after the fire, a reunion of the family, mainly
initiated by brother Huntington, was held in the old homestead
for the first time. These family reunions have been kept up ever
since yearly, except the year of the death of the last mother, June
1906, at which time the presence of most of the family took the
place of the regular reunion.
These reunions first held at Christmas time later were
changed to summer time in August. They were held at the home
place and at the homes of the children conveniently located;
some at Byal Park, and finally Riverside Park of Findlay has
become the fixed place, where many other families are accustomed to reune. These reunions are well attended and very
happy in keeping the large Andrew Powell clan in touch with
each other, promoting cherished friendships and the unity and
tradition of a common heritage. Some cousins and early day
friends often attend and help make the occasion more enjoyable.
Speeches and reminiscences are usually made after a sumptuous
dinner in a park pavilion provided for that purpose. It was at the
1950 reunion that the writing of this Andrew Powell Family
History was suggested and assigned to the writer by the president, Othello D. Powell.
xxvi
The year 1934 was the 100th since the settlement of
Grandfather Samuel Powell in the wilderness as before
mentioned. Accordingly the reunion this year took on the wider
relationship of a reunion of the Samuel Powell family and
descendants at the old homestead. Of course the old log house
and old frame one and other buildings thereabout were gone,
and their site become farm land; but the location of the old log
hut was sought out, and being assembled there a program was
carried out in commemoration of the event 100 years before.
Beecher W. Powell, son of George W. Powell, gave a talk,
Ellsworth D. Powell described the location of the original buildings, a male quartet sang the Old Oaken Bucket song “How
Dear to My Heart Are The Scenes of My Childhood”, and poem
was read by the writer covering the settlement in that place and
including the names of all the children of the Samuel Powell
family. Besides the Andrew Powell family, members were present
from the George Powell, Catherine Hartman, Susan Sager,
Gideon Powell and Valentine Powell families. Susan, who was
born the year of the settlement in 1834, had attained the age of
98, having passed on two years before, the last of the first generation. At the close of the day’s events some of the family visited
the Powell cemetery about three miles south-west near the Lima
road, “Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap; Each
in his narrow cell forever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet
sleep”.
In this place forefathers as far back as Peter Powell, father of
Samuel Powell, were laid to rest; their names may be read on
monuments side by side in a row, an honored group. The
commemorative poem is inserted here.
In later years as the girls went out from home care of the
large household required help at times and girls were employed,
first Lydia Ann Flick, then Mary Ernst and finally, after the
death of the third mother, Phebe Silvers for some years.
Old Age of Father Powell
As old age drew on father naturally gradually ceased from the
part of the farm work and chores he was accustomed to handle.
Up in his 80’s one of his feet became gangrened because of lack
of blood circulation. It became very painful, so he was taken to
the Findlay Hospital and had it amputated. James, who was
farming the place at the time, started to make him a wooden
limb, but father was confined to the house and a hand moving
chair till the time of his death April 17, 1916 at the ripe old age
of 88 years.
Accounts of the Children and Their Families
At the setting up of households for themselves father was accustomed to give each son a horse or its equivalent of $100, and
each daughter a cow or its equivalent of $50.

Emily
Emily Powell married Cornelius M. Dreisbach Dec. 5, 1872. He
was the son of Rev. A. M. Dreisbach, an Evangelical minister,
born in Pickaway county, Ohio, March 15, 1850. Their children: Lawrence A., born Sept. 9, 1873; Jennie May, Dec. 11,

Mr. Dreisbach followed the occupation of farming. They lived
for a time in the house on the home farm by the road to the east,
then moved for a year to a farm near Tiffin, Ohio, bought a farm
near Mt. Blanchard, Ohio, and finally made their home near
Findlay in a residence near by the old Evangelical Church, and
passed their last days in a home on Hurd Ave., near Byal Park
near the homes of some of the children. For many years he
served as township trustee and, for a time, member of the school
board of Del. Ty. [sic]. They were for many years faithful
members of the Evangelical Church. Their golden wedding
anniversary was observed Dec. 5, 1922 at the homestead on
Lima Avenue, part of their children being present. Ten years later
when about to celebrate the 60th anniversary Emily passed on of
pneumonia Dec. 4, 1932 at 83, and one week later Cornelius
also departed at 82.

born Sept. 12, 1883, by whom he had three children, Eugene
Marshall, Esther Fame and John Ardo. He bought a farm made
from parts of the George Powell and Soloman Powell farms and
was working hard to pay off for the land, when a terrible tragedy
struck down both himself and son Eugene. The two were working with a team of horses on a patch of ground near the old sugar
camp. A thunder shower came over, and they sought shelter in a
nearby shed, at a corner of which stood a small tree close to the
iron rod on which the sliding door was hung. Evidently they
were standing just inside the open door when a bolt of lightning
struck the small tree, passed along the iron rod and struck both
men dead and also one of the horses outside. This was discovered soon by William Woods living in the nearby old house. He
broke the news to Ardo’s wife Mollie. It was a terrible blow. This
was Aug. 21, 1926. She was left with a large farm on hand to be
looked after and paid for, and bereft of a son preparing to be a
missionary of the church to Africa.

Homer K.
Homer K. spent a winter in No. 9 High School of Findlay, a
winter in business school, taught a two month spring term of
school, remained at home for several years after attaining majority, employed on the home farm and at other jobs, such as wood
cutting and ditching, taught a five month winter term at Eagle
Center, 1891-92, then entered the spring term at the Findlay
College in the Preparatory Dept. He continued to attend the
college, dropping out one year, 1895-96, to replenish funds by
teaching the home school, took charge of the Science Dept. of
the college during his senior year, graduating in 1898. He
continued to teach in his alma mater two more years, then went
to Barkeyville, Pa., where he took charge as Principal of a
Church of God Academy for two years, 1900-02. His career has
been characterized by quite a variety of experiences, in keeping
with the philosophy of “experience in all lines”, as he expressed
it. He had much travel experience with the bicycle; first, in
attending college from his home, on a high 54 inch Standard
Columbia, then later on a safety; made a trip of fifty plus miles
to Sulpher Springs, Ohio, and back again the same day to
arrange purchase of an astronomical telescope of Jacob Rice, very
much exhausted on arriving home; a trip of some 150 miles to
brother Charles’ place in Indiana, part of the journey to and
from Barkeyville, Pa., to arrange taking charge there of the
Academy, and other trips of less extent. He continues to use the
bicycle at his 83 years.
Homer continued teaching as his life’s work; the home
school, 1902-03, Principal of the McComb high school, 190306, attended the University of Chicago the year 1906-07,
getting B.Sc. degree; taught mathematics and science, West
Lafayette College, 1907-1916, then transferred to Adrian
College as head of the department of Mathematics and
Astronomy, given Emeritus standing in 1942, but continued
part time work up to retirement in 1949. His teaching extended
into other fields besides the particular departments assigned
him, including languages Latin, Greek and German, History
and Geography. His favorite field was Astronomy, aided with his
3 inch objective equatorial mounted telescope. In the meantime,
he extended his education in attending summer schools; at
Chautauqua, New York, 1999 [sic]; Ohio University, 1904;
Ohio State U., 1907, and the State U. laboratory at Cedar Point,
1908; the U. of Chicago 1916 and a couple following summers;
finally four summers at the University of Michigan, receiving the
M.A. degree, 1925.
Homer was late in choosing a companion for life; not that he
was averse to the opposite sex, for he was subject to their alurements, which occasioned grief in his early love, in that consummation in marriage did not seem suitable; besides he was not
prepared to take a companion while pursuing his education and
wanderings in teaching. His bachelor days ended when he met
Edith A. DeBerry at West Lafayette College, daughter of Clark
and Jeanne DeBerry of near Oakland, Md., born Sept. 27, 1878.
They were married Sept. 1, 1909. She graduated from Western
Maryland College in 1902, taught school, and came to West

Virginia. She continued to teach some college classes up to the
time of going to Adrian in 1916.
Homer took to reform movements, particularly as to the
liquor traffic; was active in promoting the prohibition club in
the old church before mentioned; canvassed county
Prohibitionists for party funds, etc. one summer; was county
chairman of the party for a time up to 1896. His church activities began early, conversion experience coming at the age of 14,
in the revival meeting first held in the Powell Memorial church
by Rev. Wesley Powell in Dec. 1883, when quite a number of the
young people of the community experienced religious new birth.
On the 5th night at the alter when praying earnestly a flood of
spiritual power came pouring into him like an electric shock,
flooding his whole being. This experience was redeeming in
quality and influenced his life ever after. He became S.S. superintendent at 17, continuing such for some 15 years, taught S.S.
classes most of the time since leaving the home church, was
called upon occasionally to serve in church pulpits, especially
while teaching at Adrian College, the longest tenure being at the
West Adrian Congregational Church. His church connections,
determined somewhat as to where located in teaching, included
United Brethren, Church of God, Methodist Episcopal,
Methodist Protestant and finally Methodist upon the union of
Methodist persuasions in 1940. He with family did somewhat of
traveling, ranging from coast to coast, visiting expositions, places
of historic interest, and some of the chief natural scenery features
of the U.S.

girls: Clarence, Robert, Beulah and Bernice. They live in Findlay.
Curtis Longbrake married Cela Morgan; later they separated and
he took a second wife. They live in Findlay. He passed away
some years ago.

of Andrew Powell number 408 or more. The family of Theodore
Powell bears the palm in number, there being 7 children, 30
grandchildren and 32 greatgrandchildren, a total of 69; Franklin
Powell comes next with a total of 52; Jennie Troutner third with
48, and Emily Dreisbach fourth with 47. Farming is a chief
occupation, though teaching for a time was followed by many.
As far as known there are 8 ministers, 38 teachers, and 23 college
