Patterson delivered a brief but eloquent discourse which brought tears to many eyes. Elva was a bright little girl about eleven months old, to whom the entire connection had become much attached. To say she will be missed but feebly expresses the feelings of the fond parents; but they have the assurance and satisfaction of knowing that she left this world without sin, pure and spotless.

Peeke, vol. 1, page 622 Lewis W. House. A very enterprising and prosperous farmer and breeder of livestock, living on the old House homestead in Perkins Township. Lewis W. House is widely known not only as a representative of the best agricultural element of Erie County, but of one of the oldest and most highly respected pioneer families of this part of the state. The history of the House family is the history of farming in Erie County, for the founder of the name here came when this locality was covered with woods, and members of the family have kept pace with the advancement and development which has followed and still continue to hold prosperous positions in the agricultural world. Lelwis W. House was born on the farm on which he now lives, March 23, 1858, and is a son of Lindsey and Mary A. (Young) House, and a grandson of Julius House. The latter was born in Connecticut and several years after the birth of his son Lindsey emigrated to Erie County and settled in the woods in the vicinity of what is now Perkins Church in Perkins Township. There he erected a small house, started the work of clearing and development, and after a number of years crowded with the experiences and hardships of the pioneer finally became the owner of a handsome and valuable property, a monument to his energy and faith. He was one of the influential men of his locality, serving in the capacity of justice of the peace for many years and was known throughout the vicinity as "Squire" House. A typical pioneer, honest, rugged and straightforward in character, in his death the locality lost one who had done much to insure its future prosperity. Lindsey House was born in Connecticut, and was about three years of age when brought by his parents to Erie County, Ohio. His education was naturally somewhat limited, being confined to those advantages afforded by the primitive schools of early Ohio, but he became a well educated man and one who wielded a distinct influence in his community. He devoted his active years to pursuits of the farm, and died well advanced in years, as did also Mrs House, who was a native of Ohio. Their children were as follows: Altha, who is deceasd; Laura, who is a widow of the late John DeWitt of Perkins Township and now lives at Sandusky, Ohio; Julius, who is one of the leading farmers of Perkins township; Ada, who is the wife of Willard Curtiss, of Pasadena, California; Mina, who is the wife of A. A. Storrs, of Perkins Township; Marian, who is the widow of the late George B. Parker, of Perkins Township, and is living there: Lewis W., of this notice; and Rose V., who is the wife of Leonard Hill, of Perkins Township. Both Mr and Mrs House took an active interest in the work of the Perkins Methodist Episcopal Church, in which faith the children were reared. The life of Lewis W. House has been a strictly agricultural one, and his entire career has been passed in the environment of the farm. He was educated in the public schools of Perkins Township and as a youth engaged in the pursuits of the soil, which have continued to engage his attention to the present time. He is now the owner of sixty-two acres of good land, which he devotes to general farming and his ventures have proven successful because of the labor and intelligence he has expended on them. A devotee of modern methods, he is always ready to experiment with new ideas, but his practicality tends to make him loath to give up a tried method until he finds that the new one is better. He is a friend of education, is serving as a member of the school board of Perkins Township, and is a stalwart republican in his views and a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church. As business man, agriculturist and citizen he has qualified for a high place in the esteem and confidence of his fellowmen. Mr House married for his first wife Miss Jennie Parker, a sister of the late George B. Parker of Perkins Township and they had one daughter Ada, who is now the wife of Byron Woolson, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr House married a second time, his wife being Dollie Veader, who was born in Perkins Township, and they have eight children, namely: Guy W., Ethel, Byron, Annabelle, Rachel, Alta, Lois and Faye. ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 08:25:09 -0500 From: Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman Subject: Re: OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 #122 Elsie, I am going to answer this here as her questions are of interest to the entire list. My answers are interspersed within your comments. Maggie I am very pleased with what I find here. I just subscribed to this this week, after a good reference from another researcher, who reported that their first received issue had an obit from an ancestor they were looking for. In this my first week, I find several obits and another clipping from Ashtabula County, OH. As a member of the Ashtabula County Genealogical Society, I am impressed, and we will give this newsletter a plug on our Computer Interest Group (CIG) newsletter page of our ACGS quarterly, "ANCESTOR HUNT." Thanks very much for the wonderful comments. I'd also like to inquire if you have a master database of these obits and clippings, and is it accessible to researchers? Second, I'd like to know if your sources of these clippings are submissions by other researchers? There is a master database of all the OH-FOOTSTEPS Submissions at http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/oh-footsteps/mail-lst.htm and I am going to be uploading a current Table Of Contents sometime today. Also there is an index with files divided by county as well. Ashtabula County is at http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/ashtabula/ashtabula.htm if you want to check that out as well. On my other mailing list we are doing county by county histories and such and those will also end up in the archives. We just started Ashtabula County. All of the submissions are by researchers and myself but then I am a researcher as well. Thankyou for the newsletter and the service. You are most welcome. ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 08:57:07 -0500 From: Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman Subject: BIBLE: SAMSON/SAMPSON, Pike County Pike County OH and Frederick County VA - Samson/Sampson Family Bible Barb Walls Bible records of the Samson /Sampson family - in the possession of Miss Molly Slaughter as of 1944-Loveland, Colorado David Samson b. 1771 Mass. d.
