All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/ohfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Doug Gilliland genealogy@dougstheology.org February 25, 2004, 11:17 am Author: Doug Gilliland gg-grandson of Lucy Gilbreath Lucy Angeline Gilbreath was born May 31, 1853 in Eastern Ohio. Lucy's mother, Louisa Ann Gray, was from Senevaville (Guernsey County), Ohio. Lucy was the daughter of a Lutheran minister, Rev James Logan Gilbreath, and the granddaughter of a Methodist minister, Rev. Robert Gilbreath, who were both active preachers in Eastern Ohio. Lucy was probably born in either Guernsey Co (possibly Millersburgh) or Noble Co since these are the areas that her father was a pastor at when she was born. Most of Lucy's childhood was spent in Newark, Ohio where her father was a pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church from 1860-1870. In the 1860 census the family is living in Licking County, Washington Twp., Ohio. In the 1870 US Census the family is in Licking County, Newark, Second Ward of Newark City, Ohio. It seems likely that her father and mother stayed put in that area while Lucy was growing up, perhaps to give her a stable childhood. In 1870 Lucy's family moved to Fayette County, Illinois where Lucy is shown as a member of the Loogootee Lutheran Church in Wheatland Township, Fayette County along with her mother. She met the man who would become her first husband, Jacob H Harkey at Loogootee Lutheran, where she lived from 1870 to 1875. The Gilliland family preserves a picture of Jacob and Lucy together from around 1875 - it was possibly a wedding portrait. There was some trouble at the Loogootee Lutheran church and her father's health was failing so the couple moved back to Newark, Ohio in 1875 with Lucy's father and mother. Lucy and Jacob had their only child, Mary Louisa, in Newark, Ohio. Jacob died of tuberculosis when their daughter was one year old. Lucy lived with her mother and father in Urbana and Newark, Ohio. She and her mother ran a millinery and dressmaking. Lucy's father died in 1880, when she was 17 years old. Lucy and her mother were close to Rev. William Gilbreath, Lucy's father's brother. Her uncle was with the family when her father passed away and wrote several touching obituaries for Lucy's father, Rev. James Logan Gilbreath. Another uncle was important in the next phase of Lucy's life. Another of her father's brothers was Dr. Joseph Pendleton Gilbreath, of Fallsburg, Licking County, Ohio. He was a physician in the area for 51 years until his death in 1904. He encouraged Lucy in her medical pursuits and she assisted him in his medical operations. Dr. Lucy Angeline Gilbreath became one of the first women physicians in the US. She may have been the first female physician in the state of Ohio. Lucy received her medical training at the Woman's Hospital in New York City. In 1889, she was a physician at the Woman's Medical Clinic of Cleveland, Ohio. Like her travelling ministery father, she went on a circuit practice where she visited many Ohio cities such as Urbana, Cambridge, Chillicothe, etc. Part of her cures was to prescribe a custom fitting corset which would be constructed by her assistant. Perhaps her years as a dressmaker were now paying off? Initially her assistant was a female, but she later had a male assistant, a Mr. Walter T. Adams, who is later (1891) was listed as Dr. Walter T. Adams. Walter not only did measurements for coursets, he also performed electrolysis on unsightly hair of patients. In Feb 1887, Lucy sold her property, the south half of Lot 171, in Newark, for 2000. In August 1888, she had a fierce battle with a neighbor when Lucy's dog bit the neighbor and the neighbor insisted that the dog be put down. The dog was tried and found guilty. It received the captial sentence. Lucy then retaliated by sueing the neighbor who's dogs were also often loose. She lost the case, but it did create a lot of public comedy in the local paper. Mrs. Dr. Lucy Harkey-Adams opened a Women's Health Institute in Zanesville sometime before June 1890. She spent six months at St. Vincent's Hospital sometime before May 1891. In Canton, Ohio, in 1897 she was arrested as a quack and about 5 March 1897 she was convicted. Sentenace was suspended pending the consideration of a motion for a new trial.

There are many old tombstones with only a few down or broken. Cemetery is fenced and is frequently mowed by the township personnel. First burial 1819. Cemetery overlooks the picturesque Loramie Valley. A little to the souchwest stands the old homestead of Peter Wright who is buried here. This home was built in 1854, of brick and now painted white, and in early colonial style, it has the year 1854 in bold numerals across the eastern front of the house, which is on the south and east of a turn in the Houston Road. About one- quarter mile to the west is the little hamlet of Dawson, once a thriving canal town and grain center. It was known as Speer's Landing in 1834, and in the 70's as Patrick's Station, and in the 80's as its present name of Dawson. Samuel McClure was the first setteler of this community coming here in 1811. He is buried here although his grave is unmarked. Samuel's little log cabin was south of Loramie Creek and on the high ground south of the Akin HOme on Houston Road. Stephen Blanchard came to this ssection in 1832, from Andover, Mass. He operated the first tan yard in Cynthian Twp. and was succeeded by Sam Wright. A "New Light" church was established on the site of this graveyard in 1833, which is long since gone. This church was torn down in 1852, and a new church built in Mount Jefferson the same year. Headstone of Abigail McClure, appx. 1-1/2 foot high and 7inches across and 2 inches thick, fashioned out of a slab of native limestone - evidently by one of the family, letters and figures crudley cut. 1822 at top with name Abibail Mc-, with the Clure omitted.
