Tina **************************************** Forwarded message from: Leona Halley Henderson lee@gower.net Fri, 15 Oct 1999 ***************************************** For Christmas of 1899, Jacob Peetrey CLARK of London, Madison Co, Ohio, was given "The Standard Diary" for 1900 by one of his grandmothers. She wrote "Peetrey Clark from Grandma Xmas 1899" then I think Peetrey wrote , "1. I advise you to get a Standard Diary; 2. No body could get along with out one; 3. Do not steal for fear of shame." The reason I feel sure the advise was written by Master Peetrey himself is because of the comparison of the writings in the daily entries. He also notes, "My age is 12 years." Later in the diary, on Wed Dec 5th 1900 he wrote, "Very disagreeable day, but it is my birthday. Had John & Margaret & Sam ROBISON up to a turkey dinner. Got very nice presents." So, he must have been born in 1887. The page, "For Identification" shows: My Name is Jacob Peetrey Clark My Address is London, Madison County, Ohio In case of accident or serious accident notify Mr. and Mrs. Gideon Clark, London, Ohio. He was very steadfast in making the daily entries, and while It PROBABLY would receive no literary medal, I admire him for his perseverance. The diary was found in a house that was being refurbished in 1999 and the man, Charlie, who was doing the work was told to take what ever he wanted and throw the rest out. He knew I was into genealogy and thought I would find the diaries [ he brought me the 1900 and also a 1905, both by Peetrey,] of interest. I, in turn, thought it might be of interest to other genealogist who may be looking for anything on the CLARKs. The diary has a blank for the temperature and the weather, and young Peetrey showed the temperature on most of the entries and also a comment on the type of weather. Rather than give the day by day entries, will give just the highlights that mention people or places. He ice-skated, played hockey, fished, made bows and arrows, made a bob sled, did well in school, made a pitchfork out of a jumping pole, stamp collector, sings in church quire and sometimes solo, read many books, looks like at times, nearly one a day; he was subject to cramps in the night, had frequent headaches and finicky stomach, had several colds.

I know nothing else about any of these folks, but thought it might give someone a lead knowing that these people were in Madison Co Ohio in 1900. I made the mistake of doing a spell check and some of the original's spelling was corrected and I had wanted to do it like it was. sorry. I managed not correct a few.

She soon after meet and married Jacob Rippel. They resided at or near Zoar, and he worked some years for the Society. They then moved to Dover, and for perhaps twenty years, kept a saloon on Factory Street; and it was a resort for the old Germans to drop in, smoke, play rounce and drink their beer just as they used to in the Vatter Land. Mr. Rippel died a half dozen years ago, but Mrs. Rippel continued the business till within the past eighteen months, when she went to make her home with her son Theodore and family; occasionally spending a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Christian Tritt, at Liverpool, Medina County. Herself and Mr. R. were the parents of eight children, four of whom still live; and three of her brothers survive her; our friend Jacob Geltz of the Zoar Road being one. Mrs. Rippel failed very fast during the past two years, seemingly from a general breaking down of the system; though she had been a rugged, strong woman most of her life. She has been confined to her bed since Christmas, and was kindly cared for by Mrs. Tritt and her daughters-in-law. Her last illness was painless, and she seemed to just sleep away. The funeral was conducted Sunday morning by her pastor, Rev. Helmkamp, and her remains placed beside her husband in our city cemetery; a very large assembly of friends following.
