Excerpt from a letter dated February 8, 1931 in "A Hitch Orchard": "I remember 'Elgate' well. When I was a little fellow, he was a big, fat, jolly, old, retired farmer who spent his last days at Patoka, IN, four miles from Princeton - - I can see ELGATE now as he sat in the shade at the side of his modest little home. His frame was so bulky he filled the largest chair to overflowing and his kindly face was circled all around the lower half with a roll of fat, sort of an exaggerated double chin. It gave his face the appearance of being exceptionally broad. He shook all over when he laughed and his smile was more than contagious. He had three children that I know of. Elgate and all of his descendants were Democrats."

General Notes: The following information comes from "A Hitch Orchard": "Nancy Katherine Montgomery Hitch was the daughter of Robert and Martha Perkins Montgomery. This lady (Aunt Nan) is a most remarkable person and entitled to special mention. She has always been a strong vigorous person and in spite of having a large family of her own, has kept abreast of the times by taking a keen interest in the affairs of the works. As a young woman she received a good education and taught school in Gibson County for several years.

After her marriage she became one of the most dependable members of the family of HITCH. Always the very best of help in any sickness or emergency. I think she attended my mother at the birth of every one of us children. As children we learned to love her dearly and she always remained a pillar of strength to us.

She has always retained an interest in educational matters and during the World War I, when there was a shortage of teachers in Evansville, (remember she was 61 and had raised a large family) she renewed her teachers license and taught in the city schools until after the close of the war. She was elected a member of the school board which office she held for many years. She relinquished this office on January 1, 1931.

Aunt Nan is a power in southern Indiana politics and even now at 74 (1930) rules women's branch of the Republican Party with a strong hand. Since girlhood she has taken an active interest in the W.C.T.U. work and her interest in this work has never lagged. In connection with this and other work she has travelled extensively in the U.S.A and still derives a great deal pleasure from her travels.

Since the war (World War I), she has taken an active interest in the American War Mother's Association and at their National Convention in Kansas City in the fall of 1930 was elected to serve as a National Director. Shortly after the other officers were lined up in the hotel lobby for a picture when Aunt Nan stepped backward and fell down a flight of stairs breaking several bones and injuring her seriously. We despaired of saving her for a while but she has now recovered and apparently none the worse for it.

Aunt Nan is a good conversationalist as well as an interesting public speaker. Her children and grandchildren worship her as do all the others who have had the privilege of knowing her well."

Burial Notes: Located on a part of the homestead purchased by John W. Smith in 1873
which he named Memento. His daughter, Alena Beatrice, who died April
15, 1877 was the first buried in the cemetery. Locally referred to
as "Boot Hill", this historic cemetery has been the victim of vandalism
and neglect. The local Zangi Grotto has adopted Pinewood and have
installed gates that are locked each night to help protect the graveyard.
Many of the tombstones have been damaged or have graffiti sprayed on them.
I have been using an old listing made in 1958 by the D.A.R. to fill in the
stones that are now unreadable.

The cemetery is located at the corner of Main Street and Peninsula Drive
in the city of Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida.

General Notes: Excerpt from a member of the family relative to Oliver Allen Hitch from "A Hitch Orchard": "Uncle Bill was a well built, rather stocky individual
with a bearing that would impress you with the thought, "Here is a successful, keen, business man." He was educated at Patoka, IN and shortly after finishing school went to Steam Corner, Fountain County, IN where he built a store and entered the general merchandise business. His venture was a success in more ways than one because he soon fell in love with and married Nannie Pevler, a young lady of the neighborhood. He was the post-master at Steam Corner for several years. He was in business at Yeddo and Hazelton, IN and for a short time operated the old Hitch Homestead near Patoka, IN. About 1901, he moved his family to Daytona, FL. where he lived the rest of his life."

There is a good biography of him in "Portrait and Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana, 1893".

Death Notes: Killed in the line of duty. He was a policeman and was shot settling a domestic dispute.

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard," Daisy hitch Davies, 1931: "Excerpt from a letter by one of his sons - Harrison Clement Hitch was educated in the common schools of Gibson Co., IN. and the State Normal School of Terre Haute, IN. He was granted a teacher's license and taught school in Indiana and Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado at the time when the main industry of the country pertained to long horn cattle and the deportations of such outlaws as the James brothers, Cole Younger, and the Fords. Father knew every one of these by sight and when I was a youngster he would sit by the hour and tell of their terrible exploits.

I have often heard him tell of a different nature - that was of immense interest to me.

Elizabeth Spain, an orphan girl and distant relative, of my grandmother was taken to raise by my grandparents when she was five or six years old and from that time lived as one of the family. Father was traveling somewhere in the west when he came to realize that young Elizabeth, then about 16, was especially attractive and an altogether desirable person. He forthwith gave up his traveling and hurried home for the purpose of paying court to her. The courtship was encouraged by Elizabeth and in a comparatively short time they were married.

Father then rented a farm near the old homestead and they started out for themselves. He operated first one farm and then another for several years never with a large measure of success. He suffered severe reverses during the Cleveland Panic and at that time or shortly thereafter gave up farming."

At the outset of the Spanish American War, father with R.H.Chappell and Rev. Ferguson of Patoka, IN. assembled a company of soldiers for service in the was. Mr. Chappell was Captain and father and Rev. Ferguson were Lieutenants. They drilled daily for several months and applied for admission to the U.S.Army. They were encouraged to continue their drilling but the war was ended before they were mustered into some of the service.

We then moved to Princeton, IN. where father engaged in various occupations and businesses for several years. At one time he was in the restaurant business, then in the wholesale and retail fruit and vegetable business. Finally he joined the force of the Princeton Police Department."

The Princeton Clarion News dated May 12,1913 gives several news items and a splendid editorial relative to the death of HARRISON CLEMENT HITCH while protecting a woman from the murderous attack of her husband he was shot by the man. The paper also gives a death and funeral notice in which it stated the funeral was to be held at the Christian Church and that a committee of Ben Hur, a society to which he evidently belonged, would accompany the remains. This sad incident helped to hasten the death of his wife a few months after.

The compiler has also seen a copy of a protest made by the son of the murdered man, Allen Spain Hitch, against the release of the murderer delivered before the Pardon Board Oct. 1930. The protest was successful."

General Notes: The following is from "A Hitch Orchard": " Austin Victor Hitch was a Mason and belonged to the First Christian Church in his home town. He was born in Patoka, Gibson Co., IN.

In a newspaper from Rosenberg,Texas dated March 1912 appears the following about Austin Victor Hitch: -

"His father was Zachariah Hitch, a well-to-do farmer in the Southern District (Indiana) who placed great stress upon the education of his children. The younger Hitch was placed in school at Patoka (IN) and graduated at that point with signal honors. Immediately after his graduation, he entered the Normal and shortly passed the examination, was given the commission of school teacher and assigned to the public schools of Fountain County (IN) where he taught for five years."

At the end of this time he decided to enter the real estate business and for several years following was engaged with the Frisco and Southern Pacific Companies and Immigration agent, conducting various excursions to Texas especially into the El Campo district. His extensive knowledge of the business brought many an investor to this country and because of his thorough acquaintance with the lands and their values in the district, was sought by Hiland P. Lockwood who had purchased some eighty thousand acres of land in Fort Bend County and assigned to the office in Rosenberg.

Mr. Hitch sold hundreds of farms in this county and is considered one of the best posted real estate men in South Texas and one of the most reliable, He had always operated under the belief that, "These lands are capable of selling themselves without any misrepresentation,"

In January 1911, he left the Lockwood people and associated himself with the Rosenberg Development Co. of this city and some twelve months ago the other members of the firm were bought out, leaving Mr. Hitch's only partner Kinch Hillyer. This firm has extensive holdings in the country. Mr. Hitch has been prosperous in all his undertakings which were essentially real estate and lands and owns valuable acreage throughout this section.

He is known for his quiet manners, for the firmness of his convictions, for his progressive ideas, for the honesty of his dealings and a man whose integrity is above all else Mr. HITCH is that type of citizen who makes himself a valuable adjunct to any community.

In a note by his nephew, Allen Spain Hitch, from "A Hitch Orchard": "Uncle Austin was a Justice of the Peace in Fountain County as well, I have often heard him tell of his embarrassment the first time he was called upon to perform a wedding ceremony. He got used to it in time and was often called upon to perform this rite."

Austin married Etta Kenyon on 8 Jun 1895 in Fountain Co., IN ⁶⁶.^,3575 Etta was born in Jul 1880 in Fountain Co., IN,^{⁶⁶^,3606} died on 3 Jul 1910 in TX^{⁶⁶^,72} at age 30, and was buried about 6 Jul 1910 in Woodmen Of The World Cemetery, Rosenberg, Fort Bend Co., TX.

EDWIN HITCH - Died in Griggsville, Ills., January 29th, 1877, of gastro duodenistis, or inflammation of the stomach and bowels, Edwin Hitch, in his 34th year. The subject of the above notice was born near Barry, Ills., September 25th, 1843, and was married to Miss Mary Simpkin, of Griggsville, January 22d, 1867. Those few words sum up the history of a man who was called in the prime of life to leave his family and friends and give up his share in the business and pleasures of the world. Not without some regret did he resign himself to the inevitable decree, but when the summons came in unmistakable fore, he met his fate with calmness and made his farewells in direct and well selected words to every member of his family present. He was endowed by nature with a genial disposition and strong feelings, but a firm and resolute purpose governed all his actions....He will long be missed in business circles, in society and in the order of which he was an honored member, but nowhere will the loss fall so heavily as upon the sorrow stricken family, who way the grave close over an affectionate husband, father and brother.

General Notes: The following is a small biography of Rufus M. Hitch from the "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois", published in 1926:

"RUFUS McCLAIN HITCH

Rufus McClain Hitch was born in the town of Beverley, Adams Co., Illinois, on April 4, 1852, a son of Lewis and Lucy (Fitch) Hitch. His father was a farmer.

After graduating from the public schools, Rufus M. Hitch went to Normal, Illinois, and took a course of study preparatory to becoming a teacher. He began teaching when he was seventeen years old, and he followed his profession throughout the balance of his long and useful life.

When he was yet a young man, he was made superintendent of the schools of Pike County, Illinois. From this office, he was called to become principal of the Franklin School in Kansas City, Missouri, a place he filled with distinction for the ensuing five years.

It was in 1892 that Professor Hitch came to Chicago, where he continued to maintain his home. He was first principal of the Dore School here and later became principal of the Calhoun School. Then for a period of considerable length he was superintendent of the Chicago Parental School. There his ability as an educator and his personal influence among his teachers and pupils was of great benefit.

Mr. Hitch was elected district superintendent of schools in Chicago in 1909, and was placed in charge of District No. 2 which then embraced thirty grade schools and the Lake View and Nicholas Senn High schools.

On October 18, 1883, Mr. Hitch was married, at Griggsville, Illinois, to Miss Emma F. Baxter, a daughter of Edwin W. and Helen M. (Harvey) Baxter. Mr. and Mrs. Hitch had four children: Harold, Helen and Willis (deceased): there is one daughter, Bertha, living. Willis Hitch who died in 1924, is survived by his wife and two children, Marion Jane and Spencer Willis Hitch.

Mr. Hitch was a member of the Baptist Church and was also a Master Mason, and belonged to the Sons of the American Revolution.

The death of Rufus M. Hitch occurred May 25, 1925, as he was nearing his seventy-third birthday. Practically all of his mature life was devoted to the vastly important work of directing the education of boys and girls of Illinois. For thirty-three years he was a Chicagoan, and earned a very high place of usefulness and regard as an educator of this city. We could ill have done without his ability, experience, judgment and splendid character."

In the Federal Census of 1860, Rufus M. Hitch is indicated in Pike County, Illinois (page 931, Hadley Township) in a household as follows: - Rufus M. Hitch, age 8, born in IL - Marcus Hitch, age 5, born in IL - James Qigby, age 49, born in England - Lucy Qigby, age 44, born in NY - George T. Qigby, age 3 months, born in IL.

Rufus married Henrietta (Nettie) E. Spink ³⁶³¹ on 11 Sep 1873 in McLean Co., IL.³⁶³² Henrietta was born on 19 Dec 1851 in Barry, Pike Co., IL,^{⁴⁰⁶^,1619^,3633} died on 20 Jan 1880 in Pike Co., IL^{¹⁶¹⁹^,3633} at age 28, and was buried in 1880 in Barry, Pike Co., IL.^⁴⁰⁶

General Notes: From The Barry (IL) Adage Newspaper, Friday, Jan. 23, 1880, appears the obituary of Henrietta (Clark) Hitch):

"Died, in Griggsville, Ill., on Tuesday evening, Jan. 20th, 1880, of puerperal metritis, Henrietta E., wife of R. M. Hitch. On Friday morning last a large baby girl was born to Mrs. Hitch and everything seemed favorable until late Monday night, when evidences of inflammation became manifest. This steadily progressed, notwithstanding every effort to retard it, until Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock, when, after several hours of extreme suffering her spirit took its flight.

Mrs. Hitch was born in Barry, Dec. 19, 1851, where she lived until 1860. She was then adopted by her aunt, Mrs. E. G. Clark, of McLean, Ill., with whom she lived until 1873, when she was married to R. M. Hitch. She united with the Baptist church in McLean in 1869 and retained her membership there until she was married, when she joined, by letter, the Baptist church in Barry, of which she was a member at her death. During her residence in Griggsville, Mrs. Hitch has made many friends among all classes of our citizens, and the announcement of her sudden and untimely death cast a gloom over the entire community.

During her last illness Mrs. Hitch manifested a wonderful patience and was very hopeful that she would live to enjoy this ideal crown to her motherhood even to the last day, and only for a short time did she recognize the approaching end, and then the delirium and intense suffering came on, which remained with her to the last. Than this young wife and mother cut off in the early years of her motherhood when her cup of earthly joy seemed filled to the brim, having everything about her to make home happy and enjoyable, it seems as though the merciless reaper, death, could have gathered no richer harvest. While this broken-hearted husband whose happy home has been blighted, whose bright hopes of life have so rudely been dashed to earth; this father left alone with two helpless, motherless infants seems indeed to have drained to its bitterest dregs the deepest cup of woe.

Human sympathy and friendship fold these dear bereaved ones in tenderest arms; but stronger, and more able to sustain them in this hour of affliction, our Father above, in whom this departed friend and her husband put their trust, we know will never leave them nor forsake them."

General Notes: Excerpt of a letter dated September 21, 1901 from Marcus Hitch, lawyer, Reaper Block, Chicago, IL. (This is from "A Hitch Orchard" by Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931)

"My great grandfather was Spencer Hitch of Sussex Co., DE. I have before me a certified copy of his will dated Feb. 5, 1797 and is witnessed by William Mason adm. Gillis Hitch. At the time of his death, he owned a farm upon which has since been built, the town of Bridgeville, DE. which you will find is a railroad station in the southern part of Delaware. This farm he gave by his will to one of his sons also named Spencer Hitch and there was subsequently considerable litigation over the construction of this will after the land had increased in value by becoming a town site.

No doubt you have access to the Supreme Court Reports of the state of Delaware. If you will look at the case of Hitch vs. Patten, 8 Delaware 334, you will find details about my great grandfather's family and estate --- My father moved from Delaware first to Ohio and later to Pike Co., in the western part of Illinois where I was born and raised.

I have some distant relatives near Bloomington, IL., engaged in the woolen manufacturing business under the name of Reeves and Hitch. - I have nine living children ----"

He was local president of the last named organization for a number of years, and was holding that office at the time of his death. Mr. Hitch and his partner, Mr. Swails went to St. Joseph, March 28. They expected to spend the following day among the wholesale houses in St. Joseph. Mr. Hitch also went to St. Joseph for the purpose of assisting his brother W.R. Hitch to come to Geneva for a visit, the latter having met with an accident which is still keeping him on crutches. Mr. Hitch had been in poor health for a considerable time, and Mr. Swails accompanying him to St. Joseph was partly through unwillingness to have him travel alone. The precaution was well taken, because Mr. Hitch was taken ill on the train and on arriving at St. Joseph had to be taken at once to a hospital, where his death occurred April 7. The body arrived in Geneva the following day. The funeral took place from the family residence at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 10, and was conducted by Rev. R.H. Thompson. Many friends gathered to pay a tribute to the memory of a highly esteemed citizen. Business house closed during the funeral. The interment was in the Geneva cemetery. The Nebraska Signal 1920.

General Notes: HITCH, MARY ELLEN\emdash Mary Ellen Mayers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mayers, was born at Ashland, O., December 14, 1847. She moved with her parents to Bloomington, Ill., when a small child. There she grew to womanhood and there she was married to Newton Hitch, February 21, 1873. In August 1890, Mr. and Mrs. Hitch moved to Geneva, enjoying thirty happy years together here, until Mr. Hitch passed on April 7, 1920, leaving her and their only child, a son, Frank, to continue life's journey together. For many years Mrs. Hitch maintained her own home in close proximity to that of her son, but for the last few years, she has lived with her son and family, where she died May 9, 1935, at the advanced age of 88 year, 4 months, and 26 days. Grandma Hitch lived a long and interesting life. She was mentally alert and took great interest in life though finding her chief interest centering in her home. It is interesting to recall that she had as childhood playmates some who afterward became national figures. Adlai E. Stevenson, vice president with Grover Cleveland, being one, and Gordon Lillie "Pawnee Bill," frontiersman, whose careers she watched with much interest. She was baptized and received into the membership of the Geneva Methodist church a few years ago, and though she has not been able to attend the services of the church because of her advanced years, her pastor found upon his occasional visits that she was deeply interested in things spiritual, evidenced by the fact that she requested Christian baptism, sought membership in the church, and received the sacrament at his hand. We have every reason to believe that she has gone to her eternal reward. Funeral services were conducted at the home of her son, Frank H. Hitch, Friday afternoon, May 10, at 3:30 by Rev. W. H. Shoaf of the Geneva Methodist church. Burial was in the Geneva cemetery. The Nebraska Signal, 1935.

Biographical

LUNDA HOBBS McQUEEN

Lunda Hobbs McQueen was the second daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Levi Hobbs of Louisville, Illinois. She was born on March 1, 1867 in Louisville, and spent her early years in Clay County. She attended the Jenkins School south of town, and became a teacher when still quite young. She studied at Carbondale, at Eureka College, and at the University of Illinois in Urbana.

On August 8, 1900, she became the wife of the late Donald A. McQueen, who at that time was County Superlntendent of Schools of Clay County. Mr. McQueen taught in the schools of Clay County a number of years, and they moved to Chicago where he taught in various schools, the last of which was the Beale School where he was prlncipal until he passed away in 1935. Mr. McQueen was the only child of the late General and Mrs. Alexander G. McQueen, of Keokuk, Iowa, and Louisville.

Mrs. McQueen was a charter member of the Flora Woman's Club and was instrumental in helping to found the Carnegie Library In Flora, beginning with a reading room for boys. She joined the First Christian Church in Louisville in 1885. During her years in Chicago she was a member of the Morgan Park Woman's Club and served one term as president of the club. She travelled extensively with Mr. McQueen, not only in this countey, but in the European countries, Northern Africa, Greece and the Mediterranean, Spain, Scotland, England and Canada. Her mind, at 91 years of age, was as keen as ever, and she recalled many times their trips to faraway places.

Mrs. McQueen was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Harold and Orlean, and two sisters, Eva Hobbs Hayes and Mabel Hobbs Jenner. She is survived by one sister, Miss Dollie Hobbs; three nieces, Mrs. Sara Hayes Morelock of El Monte, California; Mrs. India Hayes Bonney, also of El Monte, Mrs. Dorothy Jenner Goslee of Louisville; two nephews, Lloyd Hobbs Jenner, of Flora, and B.C. Hayes, of Springfield, Illinois; also several grand nieces, one of whom is Mrs. Dorothy DeWeese of Flora; also Mrs Mary Lee Jones, Dallas, Texas, and Patricia Volsteadt, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Mrs. McQueen exemplified the intellectual life. She was a student all her life, never losing her keen interest in education and progress. She was accomplished at many things - teaching, lecturing, China painting, and was a graduate of the College of Naprapathy of Chicago.

She was possessed of a warm congenial nature, and was interested in her friends and their pursuits. She was a rare combination of dignity, goodness and gracious charm.

She had a keen sense of humor and an abundant supply of common sense which was evident in everything she did. Her generous nature and love of life and the good things characterized her long life. She enjoyed living and her philosophy was to make the most of each day as it comes, always chossing the best and doing her best.

She remarked several times that life is a constant challenge to choose; she said one can do only so many things each day, so we must choose every day, and do the best that can be done. She lived by this philosophy, and will long be remembered for the help and inspiration that she was and will always be to others, even though she is no longer with us.

General Notes: Morven School

Robert Marcus Hitch {1832-1888}, born in Laurens, South Carolina, June 6,1832, settled in Morven in 1864. He was a graduate of the Augusta Medical College in 1858 and was a "country doctor of the old school." He was married to Martha Serena Fall. She died in 1878, and he married her sister, Ann Eliza Fall. During the Civil War, he was a Captain in Company B of the 30th Georgia Regiment. He was in the Battle of Chickamauga and the battle around Atlanta. He was mustered out of the army at the end of the war as a major. When he established his home in Morven, it was a village with only a post office, a store, and a few small establishments. The Morven community had an unusually high state of morality, education, and religion, which is what Dr. Hitch had and that is one of the reasons he chose Morven in which to settle in. Dr. Hitch was a prominent physician with a very large practice. He worked very hard, accumulated thousands of acres of land, and had businesses in farming, merchandise, gins, and sawmilling. He was also a postmaster in Morven. He was a member of the Methodist Church, member of the board of education, and a county commissioner. He was a champion of education. He built Morven Academy and hired superior teachers to work there. He loaned money to people who wanted to go to college but didn't have the money to pay the way. He died at home in Morven on April 15, 1888. According to Mr. Foelcs Huxford in his famous book a History of Brooks County, it is unknown when Morven started their first Academy, but it was mentioned in a report in 1864. On June 21, 1890 the Morven Academy held its closing exercises on June 11th with Mr. Willie T. Gaulden, teacher, being reelected for another term. The following students participated in the exercise: Mattie Hendry, Charles Fletcher, Norman Campbell, Sallie Pike, Hershel Fletcher, Mattie Nixon, Clarence Edmondson, Harry Hendry, Willis Edmondson, Beulah Pike, Henry Reddick, Kate Campbell, Albert Pike, Virginia Reddick, Pierce Closer, and Annie Dixon. In the early days teachers were recruited from area colleges and were offered room and board with nearby families as partial compensation for services. This arrangement served a dual purpose since the respectable family were chaperones for the young, single educators who were expected to reflect the moral values of the community and set a living example for the students. Schools were more than educational institutions. They were also community social and civic Centers. On August 15, 1871, the School Board met and constituted each Military District as a school district and elected Trustees for each district. In 1894, the first county school map was drawn up into the new district. The Morven District was the first district in the county to vote school bonds. On April 27, 1917, Morven District voters authorized the issuance of Ten Thousand Dollars to finance a new school building. In 1919, there were three accredited high schools in Brooks County: Morven, Barwick, and Dixie. During the cooey administration, Morven, Barney, and Dixie all became accredited and all four high schools had Home Economics and Vocational Agriculture courses. On November 19, 1934, Morven Consolidated School District voted a Three Thousand-Dollar Bond Issue to build a new high school building. All three of these maintained good, year round athletic programs. All three had excellent (most of the time) basketball teams. They all played baseball and participated in track and field events. Morven had the State Champion Pole Vaulter one-year in HARRY KENDRICKS. All three schools have been State Champions in Basketball in their class. When Mr. Burney Humphries was coaching basketball, he had State Champions wherever he coached. The Home Economics and Agriculture courses taught at these schools were also excellent. In the case of Morven, teachers like Tom Cordell and John Lindsey were a big help to the farmers in the area. The Home Economics teachers, Allen Chapman and a lady named Poole from Newnan, Georgia were a big help to the mothers in the area. There were many more who took an active part in the community around Morven and made life easier for all concerned.

General Notes: From the "House of Clark":

Margaret Amanda Stewart was the oldest child of Katharine Hitch and Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. Amanda, as she was called, was born in 1845 at the old Hitch homeplace in the Sandy Springs community in lower Laurens County.

Amanda was six years old when her parents moved to upper Laurens County near the present town of Fountain Inn, SC. When she was nine years old she entered a private academy in Laurens - probably the old Laurensville Female Academy taught by her father’s friend J.B. Hillhouse. She stayed with the Hillhouse family for a time.

As a young woman Amanda married James Lewis Stoddard. Lewis was the son of Elizabeth Owings and William Stoddard, charter members of New Harmony Presbyterian Church near Fountain Inn (and also grandparents of Rebecca Stoddard, wife of 31 Squire Bill Stewart of the Durbin community near Fountain Inn).

Before marrying Amanda, Lewis served in the Civil War as a private in “The Laurens Briars” Company G, 3rd Regiment, SC Infantry (Kershaw’s Brigade). During the war he wrote long letters home to his parents, some of which still survive in the family records. In one letter Lewis mentions a surprise meeting with his future father-in-law “Reverant Mr. Stewart” near the front lines in Virginia. Lewis was wounded in action near Richmond, Virginia, and after some recovery was transferred to the medical corps. He spent the remainder of the war serving in army hospitals and with medical units, where he was in a position to relay first-hand news of the wounded and dead to anxious families in his home community.

Amanda married James Lewis Stoddard, son of William Stoddard and Elizabeth Owings, on 23 Oct 1866.⁷

From the "House of Clark":

John Wistar Simpson Stewart was the second child of Katharine Carson Hitch and Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. He was born in 1846 in the Sandy Springs community in lower Laurens County. He was five years old when his parents moved to the Fountain Inn area.

As a young man, Wistar married Margaret Louise Anderson, daughter of Rachel Stennis and James Anderson of the Fairview community. Lou (as she was called) was a great-granddaughter of John and Peggy McDill Peden, who immigrated to the Fairview community from County Antrim, Ireland. Wistar and Lou settled in the Fairview commun-ity and had a family of three children: Leila, Catherine Rachel and Anderson Hitch Stewart. Not long after the birth of their third child, Lou developed symptoms of "consumption" (tuberculosis) and died a lingering death in spite of the best medical attention her family could procure.

After Lou's death Wistar and his three young children moved in with his parents for a time, and a few years later he married Nancy Williams. Wistar and Nancy lived in the Fairview community for the remainder of their lives, in later years living at the old Clark Berry Stewart homeplace. Wistar and both his wives are buried at Fair-view Presbyterian Church.

At the time of his death in 1914, Wistar was the second Chief of the Walter Stewart Clan. A memorial read at the next Stewart reunion gave this description of his life (probably written by his younger cousin, 373 Walt Stewart, secretary).

John Wistar Simpson Stewart was the first son of Rev. Clark B. & Katharine C. (Hitch) Stewart, born at the old Hitch home in Laurens Co., on Dec. 24, 1846. Named for his father's devoted friend Dr. John Wistar Simpson of Laurens. He also received his early training in Laurens Co. Some years later his father bought a farm 3 miles south of Fairview Church in Greenville Co. So the most of our noble man's life was spent in Greenville Co. around old Fairview Church Community. After he was old enough to attend college his father sent him to Williamston, S.C. - winning a scholarship to the Arsenal in Columbia, S.C. he reported there on Jan. 1st 1863, at the age of 17. In a few months the cruel fate of War closed this institution for 17 years. He, like many young men of his age, had to lay down a much coveted education and take up the fight to defend his country during the last strenuous months of the Confederate War. For 6 months he was on Post Duty on James Island. After the close of the War he came home and taught school for a few months. Then he took up farming and also surveying, for his main life work. In both lines of occupation his equal was hard to find, as a surveyor he was noted for his honesty and accuracy. Farm after farm in Laurens and Greenville Countys, were surveyed out by Squire Stewart, as he was called by so many friends.

There were other lines of publick works that he carried on that was of great assistance to his neighbors & friends. He was a merchant for several years, he thrashed their grain, a little later he operated a grist-mill, saw-mill, and cotton-gin. He was big hearted & broadminded, ever ready to help a friend of which he had many .... He was a member of Fairview Presbyterian Church and for several years filled the office of deacon.

J. Wistar Stewart had a splendid record of serve in the county, both as a private citizen and in official capacities. He was magistrate of Fairview township for several years, and was a leader in all public affairs that would be for the betterment of his county and State. After his health failed so that he had to give up active farm work he spent many pleasant hours reading and writing. And he enjoyed having his friends visit him and take a meal with him, for he was a good provider and all the good things that were placed on that table came from his own farm except the coffee, rice, sugar, and salt and he had two of the best cooks in the country, Miss Nancy, his wife and Cathie, his daughter.

A few years before his work was finished on this earth, he decided to introduce and organize a Stewart Reunion for he was proud of his name Stewart, so he went to work, selected a committee who agreed with his ideas, he wrote out the constitution and by laws of this Walter Stewart Clan, and was made sub chief of the House of Clark Berry Stewart, for he richly deserved the honor. He spent many pleasant and tireless hours day and night for weeks until all plans were completed for this reunion and was the noble sub chief of this House till his death on Dec. 19, 1914.

John married Margaret Louise Anderson,⁷ daughter of James Anderson and Rachel Stennis, on 10 Dec 1874.⁷ Margaret died in 1881.

John next married Nancy A. Williams in 1882.⁷

1017. Isabella Katherine (Cannie) Stewart was born on 24 Oct 1848 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} and died on 10 Jun 1866 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} at age 17.

1018. Calvin Lewers Stewart was born on 5 Jun 1851 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} and died on 9 Nov 1921 in Pelzer, SC^{⁷^,562} at age 70.

General Notes: From "House of Clark":

Calvin Lewers Stewart was the fourth child of Katharine Carson Hitch and Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. He was born in 1851 at the old Hitch homeplace in the Sandy Springs community in lower Laurens County, a few months before his parents moved to the Fountain Inn area in upper Laurens County. He was probably named after the Rev. Samuel B. Lewers, the Presbyterian evangelist who inspired the organization of Bethany Presbyterian Church (see 5 Walter Stewart, Jr.).

Calvin’s father left a characteristically brief account of his son’s birth in his journal. Two neighborhood women had been engaged to serve as midwives, and all due preparations had been made. But little Calvin arrived unexpectedly one morning, with no one in the house but Katharine’s sister and their elderly mother, Mrs. Hitch, who had lost the use of one arm but not her old expertise. Reported Clark:

June 5, 1851. at 6 in the A.M. Katharine gave birth to a fine son; no one present but Isabella H her sister Mrs. officiated with her with only one hand -

Young Calvin followed his father into the ministry. Not long after his ordination as a Presbyterian minister, he married Lida Frances Todd, daughter of Jane McClintock and James Rogers Todd of Due West, SC. Calvin served as supply pastor at New Harmony Presbyterian Church near Fountain Inn for a time. In 1882, about the time he and Lida were married, he accepted a call to serve half time at the Pelzer Presbyterian Church in nearby Anderson County. Pelzer, on the Saluda River twelve miles west of the Fairview community, was the site of a flourishing new cotton mill, founded in 1881. Soon another call came to serve also as the part time first pastor of nearby Lickville Presbyterian Church, founded in 1882. The Lickville church was said to be named after a salt lick frequented by deer in the area. The church originated from small group meetings held in a one-room school on the farm of Dr. J.L. Woodside. The twenty charter members had just built their first house of worship on property donated by W.A. McKelvey.

Calvin and Lida had a family of three children. They lived for many years in West Pelzer not far from Calvin’s brother, 68 Twyman Clark Stewart and his wife Malinda Babb. They were also neighbors and close friends of Calvin’s cousin, 323 Mary Rachel Stewart and her husband John Marion Garrett.

After Calvin’s death in 1921 at age 70, Piedmont Presbytery entered the following memorial to him in its Minutes:

Rev. Calvin Lewers Stewart, the subject of this sketch was born near Rocky Springs Church in Laurens County, South Carolina, June 5th, 1851, and died at his home in Pelzer, S.C., November 9th, 1921, at the age of 70 years, five months and four days. He was the second son of Rev. Clark Berry and Katharine Carson Hitch Stewart.

He was prepared for college in the day schools of Fairview, Slabtown (Anderson, SC) and Reidville, S.C.; entered Davidson College as a Freshman in the fall of 1873 and was graduated in June, 1877. He became a student in Columbia Theological Seminary in the fall of 1877, and was graduated in May, 1880. On October 16th, 1880, he was ordained at Rocky Springs Church, the first church that his honored father served from 1846 to 1856.

Rev. Calvin Lewers Stewart served the following churches as pastor or stated supply for forty-one years, to-wit: New Harmony, Piedmont, Lickville, Belton, Honea Path, Pelzer and Williamston. He resigned the pastorate of Pelzer and Lickville on October 16th, 1921.

He was married to Miss Lyda Todd of Due West, S.C., in 1882, and two sons and one daughter, Henry Todd and Clark and Katy, were born of this union. He was faithful in his domestic relations. He was elected by the alumni of Davidson College to deliver the oration on one commencement occasion. He was a man of many sterling traits of character, had excellent antecedents, and was not only a faithful preacher of the gospel, but was not satisfied with anything but the best that could be produced in the field, garden, stable, pasture or pen.

Calvin and his wife Lida are buried in the Williamston Cemetery a few miles from their home in Pelzer.

Calvin married Lida F. Todd, daughter of James Rogers Todd and Jane McClintock, in 1881.⁷

1019. Henry Boardman Stewart was born on 21 Jul 1855 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} and died on 14 Sep 1947 at age 92.

General Notes: From "House of Clark":

Dr. Henry Boardman Stewart was the fifth child and third son of Katharine Carson Hitch and Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. He was born in 1855 in upper Laurens County on Big Durbin Creek near Fountain Inn, where his parents moved in 1851 from the Sandy Springs community in lower Laurens County. His place of birth, known as “the old Mock place,” is located just to the north of the site of 2 John Stewart’s sawmill (see Fountain Inn-Harmony map). His parents moved to the Fairview community near Fountain Inn in 1858, when he was about three years old.

“Bordie,” as he was called, was named after Dr. Henry A. Boardman, pastor of the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and a well known minister of the times. Bordie’s father heard him preach at the 1854 Presbyterian General Assembly in Buffalo, New York.

As a young man, Bordie attended the Atlanta Medical College (now Emory University Medical School), graduated in 1879, and returned to serve the Fairview community for sixty-five years as its highly esteemed “country doctor.”

In 1880, Bordie married young Martha Eugenia Peden, daughter of Nancy Smith and John McVey Peden of the Fairview community. Dr. Bordie and Eugenia had a family of five sons and four daughters, one of whom died in infancy. They celebrated their long-remembered 50th wedding anniversary on March 4, 1930, throwing open their home to the entire community. Not long after this occasion their old friend and neighbor W.M. Nash paid this tribute to them in a local paper (name not certain):

In attempting to write of the life and character of Dr. H. Bordie Stewart, I do so with an emotional feeling, for I know that I am speaking of a man who stands well up in the minds and hearts of many people. Doctor and Mrs. Stewart recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, and they entertained their many friends in a very appropriate way, and to the enjoyment of all.

Dr. Stewart has been a prominent daily figure among us for more than fifty years. In sunshine, in shadow, in summer’s hot sun, in winter’s cold blasts he has ever pursued his practice. Never too hot, never too cold, never too late, never too early, he has always been there .... A more consistent man could not be found. We knew him when he rode the horse and he always rode a good horse, fat and well groomed with plenty of life and spirit and he always handled that horse in so consistent a manner that he never rode the spirit out of the horse.

In all these long years and continued big practice, he always made his rounds on Sunday morning in time to be back at old Fairview for Sunday School and church. He has been there with that same consistency that characterized itself in his practice. He always took an active interest in Sunday School and church and music.

It should be said for the encouragement of those coming after that the doctor started life not any too strong in health but by that same persistency and consistency of life and living and practice he overcame a considerable weakness and came to be a strong man of good physique and appearance ....

In 1918 Dr. Bordie was elected fourth Chief of the Walter Stewart Clan and served in this capacity until his death in 1947 at age 92. His 29-year term was the longest of any of the six Stewart descendants to serve as head of the Clan to date. His wife Eugenia died in 1932 at age 73. Both are buried at Fairview Presbyterian Church.

In 1929, Dr. Bordie donated a famous monument to Fairview Presbyterian Church which can still be seen in the church cemetery. The monument is a stone carving of a doctor’s bag, engraved with this epitaph:

Dedicated to the memory of the family physician and the memory of those who keep the home fires burning during the doctor’s absence on his errands of mercy.

The Laurens Advertiser (Laurens, SC) summarized Dr. Bordie’s career at his death on September 15, 1947:

Dr. Stewart practiced medicine continuously in lower Greenville and upper Laurens counties for a period of 65 years or until 1944 when he had to retire because of injuries received in a fall. Since that date he had been practically an invalid at his home. For 67 years he was a ruling elder of Fairview Presbyterian church and for 62 years officiated as superintendent of the Sunday school.

Interested in livestock and progressive farming of every kind, he was one of the founders of the Fairview Stock Show and was one of the prime forces behind its successful operation throughout his life. Present at every one of them until his injury, he was a familiar figure as he directed the program from horseback.

“I started out in life with two aims,” Dr. Stewart once stated. “One was to give my children a better education than I had. In this I have succeeded. The other was to offer my best services to my fellowmen, and it has been my experience that if you ‘Give to the world the best you have, the best will come back to you.’“

Henry married Martha Eugenia Peden, daughter of John McVea Peden and Nancy Smith, on 4 Mar 1880.⁷ Martha was born on 3 Oct 1858 in Greenville Co., SC and died on 3 Jun 1932 in Greenville Co., SC at age 73.

Children from this marriage were:

1021. Nancy Ann Stenhouse Stewart was born on 7 Oct 1858 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} and died on 9 Jan 1913^⁵⁶² at age 54.

General Notes: From "House of Clark":

Nancy Ann Stenhouse Stewart was the seventh child and third daughter of Katharine Carson Hitch and the Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. She was born in 1858, the first of their children to be born in the Fairview community near the present town of Fountain Inn, SC. The family had just moved to the community from their first home in the area, near 2 John Stewart’s sawmill about eight miles northeast of Fairview toward the Clear Springs community.

One of their new neighbors in the Fairview community, Mrs. Adam Stenhouse, was the midwife when little Nancy was born. Said her father in his journal:

October 7, 1858. Thursday, 1:30 A.M. Katharine gave birth to a girl child; large size, Weighing 11 1/2 lb Hard Case in Labour

Mrs. Adam Stenhouse (Midwife)

No fee!! May the Lord Bless her in her office

May 1, 1859 Sunday. Had our Infant daughter Baptized by Holmes.

Called her “Nancy Ann Stenhouse.”

The midwife’s grandson and little Nancy’s future husband, Adam Stenhouse Peden, was baptized in the same church - Fairview Presbyterian just the year before, among the first group of babies to be baptized in the new church building (still standing in 1982). Baby Adam’s parents, Betsy Mooney Stenhouse and James Scipio Peden, returned the Clark Stewarts’ compliment to their family by naming their next child Stewart Peden - born June 20, 1859. (See 3733 John Taylor Stenhouse Peden, son of Stewart.)

Nannie graduated from Erskine College in Due West, SC and taught school there for a time. In 1882, at age 24, she came back closer to home and boarded with the David Templeton family for a time, not far from the school at New Harmony Presbyterian Church, where she taught for some months. In 1883 she married Adam Stenhouse Peden.

Nannie and Adam Peden lived in the village of Fountain Inn at 507 North Main Street for many years, where they reared a family of two daughters and a son. Adam Peden was an early Fountain Inn merchant and served as one of the town’s first mayors. He was one of the founders of the Fountain Inn Oil Mill in 1891 (later Smith and Brooks Co.).

After Nannie’s death in 1913 at age 54, Adam Peden married a second time to Mamie J. Ballentine (born 1879), a teacher in Fountain Inn. At his death in 1930, he was buried in the old Fountain Inn Cemetery, as was his first wife Nannie Stewart.

Nancy married Adam Stenhouse Peden, son of James Scipio Peden and Betsy Mooney Stenhouse, in 1883.⁷

1022. Twyman Clark Stewart was born on 5 Jan 1863 in Laurens Co., SC^{⁷^,562} and died on 4 Apr 1945^{⁵⁶²^,1882} at age 82.

General Notes: From "House of Clark":

Twyman Clark Stewart was the last child and fifth son of Katharine Carson Hitch and Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, founders of the House of Clark. He was born in 1863, during the Civil War, and grew up in the hard years following the war. He was the only one of Clark and Katharine Stewart’s children to be born in the old Clark Berry Stewart homeplace (“the brick house”) in the Fairview community near Fountain Inn, SC.

Twyman was only six years older than his oldest nephew, Eddie Stoddard (his sister 61 Amanda’s child). In 1879, when Twyman was sixteen years old, young Eddie “accidentally cut Twyman’s arm,” Clark reports in his journal. As a result, Twyman’s hand was crippled for the rest of his life.

As the youngest of his parents’ eight children, Twyman became the “errand boy” of the family, constantly sent hither and thither with the buggy to meet trains and fetch his older brothers and sisters about as they completed their education and set out on their various careers. Twyman finished the little school at Fairview at age 18. He attended another (name unknown) at “Grove Station” - Piedmont in nearby Anderson County, staying for a time with his older brother Calvin, who was a supply pastor for several small churches in the area. After a few months he returned to his parents’ home, where for several years he was his aging father’s trusted assistant in managing his estate.

In 1887, at age 24, Twyman married 20-year-old Malinda Abercrombie Babb, daughter of Jane Abercrombie and Thaddeus Babb of the Green Pond (or Babbtown) community near Fairview. After their marriage, Twyman and Malinda settled in West Pelzer (Anderson County) in a home not far from Twyman’s brother Calvin and his family. Twyman set up a general store in Pelzer, which he operated for many years. He and Malinda had a family of eight children, two of whom died in infancy. Only one of the eight - their son Ralph Berry Stewart - had issue.

After Malinda’s death in 1918, Twyman remained in Pelzer until his retirement, and then moved to Greer, SC (Greenville County) where his daughters Maude S. Buford and Mary Dell Stewart lived. He died there in 1945, and is buried with his wife Malinda at Fairview Presbyterian Church near his place of birth.

From The Christian Observer, publication of the Presbyterian Church, US:

On April 4, 1945, Twyman Clark Stewart received the call from the “Master of the House” to come up higher, after having served Him humbly and faithfully for eighty-two years. He was a scion of one of the oldest and most prominent families of the Fairview section of Greenville county, South Carolina, who for generations were staunch Presbyterians. He was laid to rest in the historic rock-walled church yard at old Fairview, where his father, Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, served as pastor for thirty years. His mother was Catherine Carson Hitch.

On December 25, 1887, he was married to Malinda Babb and moved to the then new textile community of Pelzer, South Carolina, and entered the mercantile business which he pursued successfully for many years, retiring in 1929. He was made an elder in the Pelzer Presbyterian church in 1902, and served in that capacity faithfully and effectively until he moved his membership to Greer in 1939 ....

At his passing, a former pastor, Rev. I.E. Wallace, who had known him intimately for many years, very fittingly chose this text to characterize his life: “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.” He adorned the doctrine of God our Saviour in every relationship of life.

Twyman married Malinda Abercrombie Babb, daughter of Thaddeus Babb and Jane Abercrombie, on 25 Dec 1887 ⁷.^,3955 Malinda was born on 13 Nov 1867^³⁹⁵⁵ and died on 17 Dec 1918^{⁷^,3955} at age 51.

1023. Eliza Evelyn Duvall ¹⁸⁸² was born on 21 Feb 1841 in Laurens Co., SC^¹⁹⁰⁰ and died on 8 May 1917 in Laurens Co., SC at age 76.

1024. H. James Duvall was born on 8 Dec 1843 in Laurens Co., SC,^{¹⁹¹²^,1913^,1914} died on 9 Oct 1905 in SC at age 61, and was buried about 12 Oct 1905 in Union Baptist Church Cemetery, Laurens Co., SC.

General Notes: Sarah Hitch, in a May 9, 1864 letter to Young H.E. Hitch writes about H. James Duvall as, "James Duvall, Eunices son has been in the armmy a considerable time. He has been in three or four battles and got wounded at chattanooga if I recolect right and came home and has never got so he could walk without his crutches for he was wounded in the ancle or in the leg near the ancle. He has been at home seven months."

H. James Duvall's records in the National Archives of his Civil War service are as follows. He enlisted on Apr 25 1862 at Camp Brooks, SC with Lt Col Geo. S. James for 12 months with Company C of the 3rd SC Infantry. Muster records show the following:

Subject: RE: Some corrections for you

Hi, Mike:

So glad to be able to contact you. I'm attaching some pdf's for you.

Regarding Marcellus, his only child with Mary Jane was William. The William you have is NOT their child. Their William drowned along with Elizabeth's grandchild, William Dorman, 9 Dec 1876, but their funerals weren't held until 9 Feb 1877. Same day, same address. Trying to locate a news clipping about the accident or recovery.

Marcellus' second wife, Elizabeth, was married 11 Sep 1832 to John Taylor in Somerset Co. They had three daughters--Matilda, Sarah & Mary E (she's ours). When Elizabeth married Marcellus in Baltimore, she was listed as a Taylor. Looks like EVERYONE was from Somerset Co before moving to Baltimore.

Their only joint child, Roxy, married the Nelson who witnessed Eliz's will. Matilda's husband, William Dorman died in 1865, and she then married William Stevens. Sarah also married a Stevens, in this case, Steven T. Our Mary E. married James T. Mathaney. I'm planning another upload to Rootsweb late Sunday night, but you can take a look at what I have so far. It's a lot.

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mathaneyupload&id=I15

I also have photos of Mary E:

http://s1129.photobucket.com/albums/m514/mathaneycaulk/

I'm also a little curious about Andrew Hitch. Did he have some sort of disability? I have him starting in the 1860 census living with Marcellus but he never seems to have an occupation and can't read or write. He's fallen off my census radar after Marcellus dies, so I was glad to see your entry re: his death. I'll look it up at the Balto Sun online index and see if there's any kind of obit.

Lastly, I want to thank you for the extensive documentation. I'm also using Legacy but put all my documentation in the general notes. Haven't figured out the other way.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to find more info on the Lankford girls.

Jane

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard" by Daisy Hitch Davies (1932):

>>Mrs. Collins has always been interested in the Hitch family history. She has a chest of old papers, land grants etc. She sent me much data for her line and is a very interesting and clever woman. Following is a copy of the land grand to her ancestor, Ezekiel Hitch, as it was sent to me:

"From Frederick under Lord Baltimore - Mr. Ezekiel Hitch pat. 50 Acres, Somerset Co., MD. called "Hitch's Choice" in Liber B. Land Grants #10 Folio 342. From an agreement by virtue of an assignment from Mr. Adams, granted the said Adams the 8th. of Nov. 1756 - Feb. 10, 1757."

This property is still owned by Mrs. Collins. Her father lived on it all his life. All her brothers and sisters were born there. There her daughter Blanche and a nephew were born. It is situated five miles from Salisbury, MD; about eight miles from Laurel, Del. and about four and one half miles from the Delaware line. A part of the old house is still standing but a tenant set fire to the stable with a cigarette. It burned all the old out houses, brandy house, big barn, cider mill, shelter, corncrib, horse stables, cow stables, shop, etc. There is still standing a very old log cabin near the kitchen. I took a picture of this cabin when I visited the farm in the summer of 1930. On this old farm Mrs. Collins also spent her honeymoon. She resides at Norfolk, Va., is a democrat, Episcopalian and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the record of Ezekiel Hitch - the only one by 1930 to join on his record.<<

Ms. Davies also cites a letter written by Mrs. Collins:

"March 7, 1917, written by Octavia Hitch Collins:
"I have written some cousins of mine, Ezekiel's daughters, to find out if they have anything. Aunt Rachel never married and lived with him all his married life dying at the age of 87, so these girls were grown long before her death and it is possible they have heard and can remember something that will be of interest. My first ancestor was Ezekiel. He married Betsy Piper. This is the beginning of the record in the old Bible. They had two children, Robert and Betsy. Betsy died. Robert (my grandpa) married Nellie Wilson. They had three sons, George (my father), Ezekiel (Frank Hitch's father) and Robert who left three sons, Herbert, George Robert, and Ernest - live in Salisbury, MD. Herbert has a son grown and married named for my brother Samuel. I can't think whether George Robert has sons ........."

General Notes: Obituary of William J. Hitch - Copy sent to me by Susan Cramer of Pinehurst. NC on January 1, 1998:

Dr. Wm. Joseph Hitch

This community was painfully shocked Tuesday morning to learn of the sudden death of Dr. William Joseph Hitch, one of its most prominent physicians and best known citizens. Dr. Hitch succumbed early Tuesday morning to an acute attack of indigestion which seized him so suddenly that his life was snuffed out so quickly that few of his relatives had time to reach his side before he breathed his last.

Dr. William Joseph Hitch was born near Laurel March 19th,1835, being the son of Elijah Hitch. After attending the public and private schools of Laurel he entered Dickinson College and graduated with the class of 1855, and on receiving his diploma from that institution Matriculated at the medical dept. of the University of Pennsylvania where he was graduated in 1858. Dr. Hitch first located to practice his profession at Reliance, Md. and remained there two years, during the time marrying Miss Mary Emily Martin, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John Martin, of Millsboro (struck out and handwritten in - Coolspring). In 1860 he moved to Millsboro (again struck out and handwritten in - Coolspring) and practiced in partnership with his father-in-law Dr. John Martin. In 1876 he came to Laurel and soon succeeded in building up a large and lucrative practice which he enjoyed and gave his constant attention until a few years ago when he retired from active work, turning over the bulk of his practice to his son, Dr. Joseph M. Hitch.

Though Mrs. Hitch died in the fall of 1881, Dr. Hitch did not marry again, preferring to shower his entire affections on his children to whom he was singularly devoted.

Obituary for Hiram Benjamin Hitch - Copy sent by Susan B. Cramer of Pinehurst, NC:

H.B. HITCH DIES
SUDDENLY TUESDAY
---------------- Succumbs to Heart Attack. One of Laurel's Best Citizens
----------------- FUNERAL HELD THURSDAY
----------------- This community was profoundly shock- ed Tuesday evening by the sudden and unexpected death of Hiram Benjamin Hitch, one of its oldest merchants and most useful and respected citizens. He died at his home on W. Sixth street about 5.30 o'clock of heart trouble. He appear- ed to be in good health and was at his place of business until Monday noon when be complained of feeling bad and went home. He had only been home a few minutes when his wife discovered he was seriously ill and summoned the fam- ily physician. He was advised to go to bed and soon appeared much better and was resting quietly when his heart failed and his life was snuffed out so quickly that his wife and relatives hardly had time to reach his side before lie breathed his last.

Mr. Hitch was a son of Benjamin Hitch and was born near Laurel June 2, 1855. During his early manhood he moved to Laurel and taught school until the close of 1884 when he resigned to ac- cept the management of the Union Store Company. He served in that capacity until after the fire of 1899 when he em- barked in business for himself, succeed- ing the Union Store Company at their old stand at the corner of Fourth street and Central avenue. He was in business there at the time of his death and had by his pleasing qualities and honest meth- ods built up a large and profitable trade.
Mr. Hitch was a thoroughly good man, honorable and upright in all his dealings, and exemplified in his daily life the chris- tian teachings in which he had unbound- ed faith. He enjoyed the respect of everybody and it is doubtful if any recent death has caused such genuine and uni- versal sorrow. He was a steward of Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church and secretary and treasurer of the Sun- day School for more than thirty-three years. For several years he was treas- urer of Vigilant Council No. 19, O U. A. M. and treasurer of the Laurel Building and Loan Association. He was an ardent Prohibitionist having been a candidate for state treasurer and state senator on the Prohibition ticket. He was married in January, 1885 on Miss Emma Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Smith and is survived by her. He leaves no children but four sisters, Miss Martha Hitch, Mrs. Robert Moore, of Marydel, Mrs. Ida Jones, of Philadelphia, Mrs. I. J. Morgan, of Bridgeville, and a brother, Arthur Hitch, of Seaford.
Funeral services, held at his late home Thursday afternoon, were largely atten- ded and as a mark of respect the stores and business places of the town were closed from 2 to 4 o'clock. The services were conducted by Revs. Frank F. Car- penter and Harry Taylor and the floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. In- terment was made in Odd Fellows Ceme- tery. Those from out of town attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. L.

The Obituary of John Hitch appeared as follows in a Clallam County newspaper:

"John Hitch ( d 3-18-1937 )

John Hitch, 96 year old Civil War veteran, who was the last surviving member of the 38th Regiment Iowa Volunteers which lost 200 officers and men by disease during the siege of Vicksburg, was taken to a local hospital at 6 last evening and died 2 hours later. His passing leaves only 2 members of the once proud Pacific Post, GAR--F M Wait and Tex Reynolds.

John Hitch was born on Jul 9, 1940 at Burlington, IA. When 22 he enlisted in the 38th Regiment Iowa Volunteers in Capt. J J Welsh's company at West Union, IA, commanded by Colonel David H Hughes. He served with the 38th in the siege of Vicksburg, in which the regiment lost 200 men and officers from disease and at one time Mr. Hitch was one of 20 men in the entire regiment fit for duty. So decimated was the 38th by disease and casualties that it was later merged with the 34th Iowa. He served in the siege and capture of Fort Morgan and in the siege of Mobile, being actively engaged with troops capturing Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley. Mr. Hitch also served on detached duty as one of the main foragers for General Sherman's troops and often told of harrowing experiences of his foraging detail as it invaded farms to secure food for a northern army that was "living off the country."

"It wasn't very nice going onto farms and finding women and children there alone, and having to dig up their buried hams and bacons and drive off their horses and stock, but we were in the army and under orders," said Mr. Hitch. "And then again, the Johnnies were always taking pot-shots at us foragers so the odds were about even." He was discharged from the army at Houston, Texas in 1865. On March 10, 1867 he was joined in marriage to Miss Ada A. Ablett at West Union, Iowa. Mrs. Hitch died in Port Angeles on June 11, 1929.

From Iowa, Mr. Hitch took his family into northern California and operated a hotel at Mott, near the base of Mount Shasta, and later operated several mills in the northern California. The family moved to Port Angeles 45 years ago to take up lots when the reserve was opened, and it is significant that he took up a lot at 5th and Lincoln Streets, where the Grand Army Hall now stands. Here he built a plain board "shack" and resided there for a time. Later he purchased other property. He was a life member in the Masonic order and had served Pacific Post Grand Army of the Republic as sergeant-major in 1911 and as quartermaster for 3 consecutive years. He has been a constant attendant at Memorial services for his many departed comrades, all of them his junior in point of years at the time of their deaths.

Mr. Hitch was a great walker and up until a few days of his death would walk to town and chat with friends and acquaintances. He had a fine philosophy of living and had made painstaking preparations for his passing, selecting the very casket he wished to be laid away in. He is mourned by his beloved daughter, Mrs. Norman W Sturdevant, of Port Angeles and 2 grandsons, Vernon and Harvey Sturdevant, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Norman W Sturdevant.

Funeral services for Mr. Hitch will be held Monday at 2pm from the Christman Mortuary with Port Angeles Lodge #69, Free and Accepted Masons, in charge. Mr. Hitch was the last living charter member of the Lodge, having been affiliated with it from an eastern lodge in 1891 and was a life member. Burial will be at Ocean View Cemetery."

"William B. Hitch

One of the representative citizens of Fayette county who has gained a competency and at the same time the respect of his fellow men because he has worked for them along legitimate lines, is William B. Hitch, a native of Union township, where he was born September 22, 1858. He is the son of Isaac and Malindy (Stobaugh) Hitch, the former born in Delaware and the latter in the state of Virginia, each of worthy old families. It was in the early forties that Isaac Hitch came to Iowa and located in Fayette county, on what is now known as the Frisby farm, having taken up a quarter section of wild land on which he erected a log cabin, cleared a small patch and set to work developing the farm, having a very valuable place in due time. He later bought a farm in section 35 in Union township, then bought a farm of eighty acres in Illyria township and remained there until about 1866, when he moved to Chickasaw county, where he lived for several years. His health failing, in 1875 he went west with his family and settled in the San Joaquin valley, California, and engaged in wheat raising until his death in 1877.

After the death of his father, William B. Hitch returned to Fayette county and worked as a farm hand for several years. Two of his brothers, John and Lorenzo, were soldiers in the Federal army, having enlisted in Company A, Thirty-eighth Iowa Volunteer Infantry. Lorenzo served until his discharge on the account of disability. John served out his full enlistment.

In 1888 Mr. Hitch purchased eighty acres of land in Union township. Prospering, he added to his original purchase until he became the owner of a fine farm of one hundred and ninety-five acres, which he placed under a high state of improvement and which he has made yield a very profitable income. He has also been very successful as a raiser of cattle and standard-bred horses. Among the many valuable horses bred and raised by Mr. Hitch was "Feric D.," the fastest pacing filly in Fayette county.

Mr. Hitch was married September 28, 1882, to Lucy Jane Patterson, daughter of Joseph Patterson, a well known citizen of Fayette county, where Mrs. Hitch was reared and educated. This union has resulted in the birth of two children, Lorenzo, living at home, educated in the schools of his native county and graduated from the New Hampton Normal and Commercial College, also attended the Upper Iowa University. He has taught school since he was eighteen years of age, with the exception of the past two years when he has been employed as a salesman; Ruth B. is living at home.

William B. Hitch is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, also the Yeoman lodge. Politically, he is a Democrat.

The paternal grandparents of William. B. Hitch were Isaac and Goodie or Patsy (Lynch) Hitch, who spent their entire lives in Delaware. The maternal grandparents were John and Margaret Stobaugh, of German descent, the grandfather dying in the East, after which event his widow remarried and came to Iowa in the early forties, locating in Fayette county, having made the trip here with the father of William B. Hitch, and she remained here until a short time before her death, when she moved to Washington county, this state. A brother of William B. Hitch’s mother had the distinction of serving as a soldier in the war of 1812."

A more detailed biography appeared in "A Portrait and Biographical Album of Vermilion and Edgar Counties, Illinois" (1889). It is transcribed here as follows:

CHARLES P. HITCH. It is an interesting part of the history of any city or county to observe the different characteristics of the men and women whose life records are therein portrayed, and notice the varying ways by which they have mounted the ladder of success. Some seem to have fortune thrust upon them unawares, while others after years of exertion seem to have reached only the lower rounds of that ladder, by which we would climb from the "lowly earth to the vaulted skies." We often in a philosophical mood, inquire, whence this difference? Usually it is the result of the individual traits, which vary among us all. Those who possess the greatest endurance, the most patience, the highest ambitions, and the loftiest aims, are those who are successful in life. But combined with this there must be excellent business qualifications for a commercial success, or winning qualities of a high order for a political success. These combined will make a man popular both with the people and the government.

The subject of this review is of a noble old English family, and inherited perhaps, some of his excellent qualities. Others are the result of years of study and observation. In theory the life of a man of this character is of great interest, but in practical life it is of utmost importance.

Charles P. Hitch, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Illinois, and Grand Recorder of the A.O.U.W., for the jurisdiction of Illinois, is one of the best known residents of Edgar County, where he lived for more than twenty years. [Compiler's note: this is reflective of the writing which occurred in 1889]. He was born in Clermont County, Ohio, Jan. 16, 1850, his parents being Benjamin F. and Laura A. (White) Hitch. The family originally came from England, and settled in this country. Three brothers, John, Benjamin and Hardy Hitch came from England sometime after Lord Baltimore founded his colony in Maryland. John and Benjamin made their homes on the eastern coast of that State; Hardy, who was a sea-faring man, settled in New Bedford, Mass.; [Compiler's note: we now know that this synopsis of the Hitch family history is severely misinformed!]. Benjamin, who was great-great grandfather of Charles P. Hitch, married Mary Pitt, a member of the distinguished English family of that name. Four children were born to them, the youngest, Thomas, being great-grandfather of our subject. He was born Aug. 7, 1773, and died Feb. 22, 1862, when he was in his ninetieth year. He had eight children, of whom six lived to be more than seventy years of age. His eldest son, John, was grandfather of him of whom we write. He was born in Maryland, June 24, 1794. and in 1797 was brought by his parents to Kentucky. In the spring of 1813, John Hitch made a journey on a keel boat down the Licking, up the Ohio to the Kanawha, then up the latter river to the salt works, a venturesome trip for a youth of less than nineteen years. Procuring six barrels of the precious article he made the return in safety, and then sold the salt to his neighbors for twenty five cents a peck, it having before that sold for fifty cents.

About this time, Gov. Shelby issued his call for volunteers to fight the British and Indians, and John Hitch was one of the first to offer his services. He fought under Gen Harrison at the battle of the Thames, where the Indian chief, Tecumseh, was finally overpowered and killed. John Hitch was a brave and daring soldier, and was one of the ten intrusted with the carrying of important dispatches, a duty which he invariable performed to the entire satisfaction of his commander. After the war, he returned to the quiet of his home, but soon emigrated to Clermont County, where he arrived April 12, 1814. In January of the year following he was united in marriage with Miss Nancy Simmons. In this county he passed the remainder of his life, dying at Bantam, Ohio, Jan. 23, 1876.

Benjamin F. Hitch, father of Charles P., was the eldest son of John. He was born at Laurel, Clermont County, Ohio, April 18, 1818, and thus is now in his seventy-second year (1889). He was reared to the life of a farmer, and one of the earliest lessons he conned in the book of experience was the meaning of the term hard work. He assisted his parents in building up a home in the wilderness, and in clearing away the primeval forest. He remained with his parents until his marriage, which took place, Dec. 18, 1838, his bride being Miss Laura A. White, daughter of Firman and Polly White. Soon after his marriage he began the business of wagon-making, which he left for a time to embark in milling, at Elk Lick Hills, on East Fork Creek. He continued in the latter business until about the year 1853, when he removed to the village of Bantam and again engaged in the manufacture of wagons, carriages, etc., on quite an extensive scale from that time and place. Attracted, however, by the greater possibilities of the new West he sold his business, reserving his real estate and removed to Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where for a time he engaged in farming. Not liking that country as well as he had expected to he returned to Ohio, and repurchased his former business, which he carried on until 1865 on a large and increasing scale. During the war he took the contract for making hames and harness for the Government, and in that business accumulated a considerable fortune. At the close of the war he changed his place of residence to New Richmond, Ohio, twenty miles from Cincinnati, and there erected a large manufactory for the making of carriages of all kinds. He conducted that business for five years, then gave it up to his elder sons and returned to his old home in Bantam. But he was not content to retire from active life, and so established a general merchandise store, dealing in all sorts of articles, trading for stock, tobacco, etc. In 1887 he made a speculation in tobacco from which he cleared over $15,000. About this time his sons sold the carriage business to an uncle, and they too returned to Bantam. Again the father turned the business over to them and this time he retired from active life, and is now devoting his attention to the oversight of his fine, large farm near Bantam. He is now seventy-one years of age, his wife being sixty-nine, and on the 18th of December 1888, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, on which occasion a large number of their descendants and friends were present. He has always been an active man, but cared more for his business than public office. He, however, believes in the principles of the Republican party and uniformly votes that ticket.

Benjamin F., and Laura A. Hitch were the parents of six children, namely: Mary Elizabeth, who was the wife of Albert G. Justice, died at Bantam; Frank A., is a merchant of Amelia, Ohio; Levi W., is a merchant in Bantam, of which town he is Postmaster under the Harrison administration. He carries on the store formerly conducted by his father, and is also interested in farming; John W., is in the stock business at Walnut Hills, Cincinnati; our subject was next in order of birth; the youngest is Anna Belle, wife of Prof. W.S. Plynn, Principal of the North District at Cincinnati.

Charles P. Hitch remained under the parental roof until he attained the age of fifteen years, when he commenced the course at Parker's Academy near New Richmond, where he finished his education. From that institution he went to New Richmond, and entered his uncle's dry-goods store as a clerk. He remained with him until 1869 when he came to Edgar County. His first occupation here was as clerk in the dry-goods store of A.C. Connely in Paris, with whom he staid for years. In 1873 he was appointed Deputy County Clerk, which position he held for eight years. In 1881 he was elected Grand Recorder of the A.O.U.W., holding that position up to the present time. In 1872-73 he served a term as City Clerk of Paris, and in 1884 was elected Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Covention in Chicago, which nominated James G. Blaine for President; and in 1888 was a regular delegate to the National Convention and voted for General Harrison for President, on the fourth ballot with two other delegates from Illinois. He was one of the state delegates who voted continuously for Harrison until he was nominated. On May 24, 1889, Mr. Hitch was appointed to the responsible position of United States Marshal for the Southern District of Illinois, taking possession of his office on July 1, 1889.

For fifteen years Mr. Hitch has had a faithful helpmate and companion in the person of his wife, who has been a sharer of his joys, and a comforter in time of trouble. With her Mr. Hitch was united in marriage Dec. 23, 1874. She was in her youth Miss Mary I. Huston, daughter of Dr. Paul Huston, a physician and surgeon of Paris. She was born in that city Dec. 17, 1849. Their union has been blessed to them by the birth of one child, Lucy W.

Mr. Hitch belongs to the Masonic fraternity, is a member of the Paris Lodge, No. 268, A.F. and A.M.; of Edgar Chapter, No. 32, R.A.M., and is likewise a member of Apollo Lodge, No. 58, K. of P. and of Austin Lodge No. 664, I.O.O.F. A gentleman of unblemished character and of decided ability, with which he combines a genial and courteous manner, he has a host of friends, and wields a considerable interest in social and political circles. He faithfully discharged the many duties entrusted to him, and everyone who knows him is pleased with his well deserved success and advancement."

In the Federal Census of 1880, Charles P. Hitch is indicated in Edgar County, Illinois (sheet 23) in a household as follows: - Charles P. Hitch, age 31, born in OH - Mary J. Hitch, age 31, born in IL - Lucy C. Hitch, age 3, born in IL.

In the Federal Census of 1910, C.P. Hitch is indicated in Edgar County, Illinois (Paris) in a household as follows: - C.P. Hitch, age 61, born in OH - Mary Hitch, age 62, born in IL.

Charles P. Hitch's obituary was sent to me in 1996 by Ned Boyajione. The copy cames from a family scrapbook and the newspaper and date are unknown except that it is no doubt from an August 1933 Illinois paper:

Charles P. Hitch, G.O.P Leader for Years, Dies at Home in Paris, Ill.

One of the most picturesque, popular and prominent members of the republican party in Illinois passed away last night when death summoned Hon. Charles Peebles Hitch, who served five terms as U.S. marshal and who died at his home in Paris after a long illness, aged 83 years and seven months.

The career of "C.P." Hitch, as he was so well known, is a political epic. For over forty years he has been a potent factor in republican state and national conventions. The fact that he was always chairman of the delegation from his county and district indicated the confidence reposed in him by his followers in his home area.

Persons of mature age in Springfield will remember what a factor Marshal Hitch became in the social as well as the political life of the state capital. He was a most intimate associate of U.S. Senator Shelby M. Cullom, who sponsored him in several of his appointments; John W. Bunn of the Marine bank; the late Mayor Rheuna D. Lawrence; the late Senator David T. Littler and the late Judge J. Otis Humphrey.

Born in Ohio

Mr. Hitch was born near Bantam, Clermont county, Ohio, Jan. 16, 1850, the son of Benjamin F. and Laura White Hitch. As a youth he followed the star of the empire toward the west and was en route to Omaha when he was prevailed upon to remain in Paris, Ill., and to make that his home. His name soon became synonomous with the political activities of that section of the state. He had resided in Paris, Ill., for 64 years.

The first public office held by Marshal Hitch was that of deputy county clerk of Edgar county. He ventured into national politics and was elected a delegate from Illinois to the convention which nominated Benjamin Harrison for the presidency. Only two Illinois delegates supported Harrison, while all of the others supported Walter A. Gresham.

Reward came to Mr. Hitch in the form of appointment as U.S. marshal. Through the influence of Senator Cullom he served in that office from 1889 to 1893. He became chairman of the republican state central committee in 1896 and was agin appointed U.S. marshal by President McKinley in 1897, serving during this next period until 1913.

In 1905, he transferred from Springfield to the marshal's office at Danville when the state was divided into the southern and eastern districts. It was during this period that the late John R. Tanner was governor and that the historic Tanner-Cullom controversy shook the republican party to its foundation.

Named Court Clerk

In 1913 Marshal Hitch was appointed clerk of the U.S. district court for the eastern district by Judge Frank Wright. In 1917 he was appointed to the board of pardons and paroles by Governor Frank O. Lowden and reappointed by Governor Len Small, retaining that office until the election of L.L. Emmerson in 1928.

In addition to the above political activities Marshal Hitch was a member of the state central committee for a number of terms and was elected and re-elected delegate to state and national conventions.

Charles married Mary Irene Huston, daughter of Dr. Paul Huston ²⁸¹² and Lucy Weisiger,⁴⁷⁵⁵ on 25 Nov 1874 in Edgar Co., IL ²⁸¹².^,4756 Mary was born on 17 Dec 1849 in Paris, Edgar Co., IL,^{⁷^,4757^,4758^,4759^,4760} died on 1 Jul 1938 in Paris, Edgar Co., IL^⁴⁷⁵⁵ at age 88, and was buried on 5 Jul 1938 in Edgar Cemetery, Paris, Edgar Co., IL.^⁴⁷⁵⁵

General Notes: Mrs. Hitch's obituary appeared in an Illinois newspaper dated July 2, 1938 (perhaps the Paris (IL) Daily Beacon), a copy of which was sent to me by Ned Boyajione in 1996 as follows:

General Notes: The following is from a family history sent to me by Stephen J. Hitch of Kent, WA in 1997:

"James Edgar Hitch: Born March 7. 1887 in Big Mound, Iowa of English, Scotch, and Irish descent. He was the second child of four born to Thomas Smulling Hitch born May 6, 1847 in Clermont Co, IA (sic - OH) and Maria Louise Lane born June 2, 1854 in Forked River, NJ. Ed had three sisters, Mary Ethel born Nov. 7, 1885, Nellie Maria born April 28, 1891, and Anna Marjorie born May 14, 1897. They farmed in the neighborhood of Hillsboro, Iowa. In the spring of 1903 the family moved to another farm in Cumberland, WI. At Business School in Cumberland, in 1906 Ed met Cora Isabella Fahlstrom, she was born Jan. 5, 1887 in Cumberland, WI. They began a relationship that developed into a permanent bonding. Ed's Mother became very ill, so Cora, being a practical nurse, went to their home to care for her. Mother Hitch suffered terrible pain and died May 15, 1908 in Cumberland, WI from what was diagnosed as inflammation of the spine. She was buried in the Hillsboro, Iowa cemetery May 19, 1908. Ed and Cora were married Nov. 26, 1908 in Kandiyohi, MN and began their married life in Cumberland, WI. When they set up housekeeping Ed's father and youngest sister, Marge came to live with them. His Father lived with Ed and his family until his death October 21, 1928. Ed worked for the telephone company doing line work and Cora operated a telephone switchboard in their home. About 1912 the family moved to Svea, MN and in 1916 they moved to Olivia, MN. In 1917 the family moved West to Reardon, WA, later moving to Harrington.

In Harrington, Ed worked in the office of the Washington Water & Power Company from 1917-22. The family moved further West, to Everett, WA in 1922 first living on Chestnut Street in the Riverside District. Later moving uptown to 2323 Wetmore, and from there to a small farm two miles past Lowell and rented from Cora's Dad. To help supplement Ed's income during the depression they had a couple milk cows, some chickens, a garden and a few fruit trees. In 1928 the family purchased a home at 4417 Rucker in South Everett near the totem pole which was their final home. Ed did a lot of remodeling. Their home was often shared with relatives or friends who needed temporary housing which often turned into long term housing. In the early "20's" Ed and two of Cora's brothers, Vern and Al worked on the electrical work in the Stevens Pass tunnel when it was being built. Ed was a Journeyman Electrician and worked for several electrical contractors, but mainly Jones Electric and Standard Electric in Everett, WA. He was foreman on several large jobs, one of the larger was wiring the barracks at Paine Field. In 1945 Ed hung up his tools and became State Electrical Inspector, a position he held until his death. He was on his way to an inspection when he was killed in an automobile accident Nov. 8, 1955 in South Everett. Cora was a homemaker, switchboard operator, and office worker for the Rationing Board during the war. For many years she did a lot of volunteer work for the American Association of the Blind. Both Cora and Ed were active in lodge work belonging to several organizations. Ed's favorite was the Masonic Lodge, he particularly enjoyed dressing up in his Shriner's uniform especially the plumed hat. He was very interested in the Shriner's philanthropic work with crippled children. They enjoyed their family and went on many picnics with their children and grandchildren and friends. They enjoyed taking their grandchildren to the Shrine Circus, and other special events, also camping in the summer.

After Ed died Cora was alone, so she sold the home and moved to an apartment in Everett. After a lingering illness Cora died April 15, 1975 of cardiac decomposition and arteriosclerosis. They are both entombed at View Crest Abbey in North Everett."

They hold strict and moral views. It was R.T. Hitch who sent me much data relative to his own line. Among other items was a deed date Oct. 7, 1811 which was probably that of his great-grandfather.

Thomas H. Hitch and family went to live in Onslow Co., North Carolina in May 1906. Thomas and wife returned to Salisbury, Maryland in 1921 while some others of the family stayed in North Carolina. I entered an article about the family's trek to North Carolina in the Hitch Family Newsletter (Number 11):

The following is an original write-up done by a Mrs. Roscoe Taylor regarding the local history around Jacksonville, North Carolina. It was sent to me by Mrs. Louie Hitch of that location and transcribed below exactly as written:

A Bit of History
-by- Mrs. Roscoe Taylor

In the early 1900s, Thomas H. Hitch and his wife Eleanor McGrath, with their four sons, Durand, Goldsboro, Dorsey and Harold Hitch, left their home in Fruitland, Maryland, and came to live in Onslow County (Note by Mrs. Louis Hitch: "the first day of May 1906").

Mr. Hitch and his family first lived in the little village of Verona (NC), located on the Wilmington and New Bern railroad which had merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company of Virginia in May of 1900, thereby making it the third largest railroad system in North Carolina.

This was the ideal place for Mr. Hitch to set up his saw mill and logging operations. Timber was plentiful and the railroad convenient for the shipping of lumber. A few years later Mr. Hitch moved his mill a little nearer to Jacksonville (NC) at a place known as Jarman's Crossing. Here he continued his business of lumbering. During his stay at Jarman's Crossing, two additions were added to his family. His only daughter, Pearl Hitch, and his fifth and last son, LeRoy Hitch, were born at this place.

About 1918 Mr. Hitch made another move - bringing his entire operations into Jacksonville. He set up his mill on the left side of the old railroad trestle bridge on the New River.

The Palm-Lee Lumber Company which was located there a few years earlier, had an explosion in 1906, and the fly wheel of the mill propelled by the explosion, sailed through the air with such force it crashed into the roof of the Giles' two-story home, located just across the street from the Onslow Courthouse. The fly wheel penetrated, not only the roof but on down to the first floor, scattering bits of metal as it went. This mill was never rebuilt.

After Mr. Hitch set up his mill in the new location he built a fine home for his family between the old Baptist Church and the beautiful New River, where the Hitch family were to live for the next decade.

There was no electric service in the town of Jacksonville, so Mr. Hitch decided to put an electric plant into operation. His plant, operated by gasoline engine, was located in the vicinity of the present day Jacksonville water plant, and it furnished electricity for about 100 families. This was the first electric lights in Onslow County. Prior to this time kerosene lamps and lanterns were the only means of illumination for the people of the town.

It's true, the electricity for the lights came on after sundown and went off at 10 o'clock at night, but it was a most welcomed commodity for all those who could afford the new luxury. This writer has been told by some of the people who lived out in the country it was such a pleasure to come into town and visit a home that had electric lights.

Mr. Hitch's eldest son, Durand Hitch, married Beulah Hemby of the Southwest community and they lived in a house located on the bank of the New River. This was very convenient for Durand Hitch, for his love was the water and fishing. In fact he became a commercial fisherman, which was a disappointment to his father, who had expected him to join him in the family business of lumbering.

Mr. Hitch was an aggressive man and always busy, but he found time to assist those who needed his expert. When Mr. Albert Venters was ready to set up a saw mill and logging operations on the Gum Branch in the year of 1919, Mr. Hitch was his advisor and counselor all the way. Shortly after this, about 1921, the Hitch family left Onslow and went back to Maryland to live but (Thomas H.) Hitch left his mark and earned a place in Onslow History.

General Notes: This fellow evidently was somewhat of an eccentric. Doris (Hamilton) Hitch related a story about "Tick" Washburn that happened not long after Doris and her husband Carroll Hitch married in 1930. According to her, she could see a fire back in the wooded part of their property on the corner of St. Lukes Road and Milton Mill Road near Fruitland in the fall of the year sometime in the early 1930s. When Carroll Hitch went back to investigate, he found "Tick" Washburn just sitting next to a camp fire warming himself. Eunicelee (Washburn) (Johnson) Hupke independently related (in 2001) that "Willie" Washburn would be "OK" much of the time but, when the weather began to turn cool every year, he would begin to "wander" around the area without an apparent home. In the Dryden collection at Salisbury University's Center for Delmarva History and Culture, there is an obituary clipped from a newspaper (presumably the Salisbury Daily Times) dated November 11, 1965 that states that Willie Washburn, 86, of Eden (MD) died Saturday (would have been Nov 6 1965) at the Eastern Shore State Hospital (note, this was a state mental institution in Cambridge, MD). He was a son of the late William H. and Henrietta Washburn. The only survivors are nieces and nephews. Burial was at Zion Cemetery near Fruitland.

General Notes: The compiler remembers visiting this individual who was referred to as "ol' Miss Johnson" in the early 1970's without ever knowing at the time that she was formerly a Hitch. She was the grandmother of his boyhood friend Elmer Thomas Johnson. She lived in an old house on Milton Mill Road in Wicomico Co., Maryland. The floors in the house were slanted at steep angles due to its age and it was warmed by an old wood stove. Outside was a tall windmill for pumping water from a well that was still operational. "Miss Johnson" was a petite woman who walked around in a slow but deliberate manner due to her advanced age. She had a pronounced hoarseness that you could hear as a steady, low rhythm as she breathed maybe due to emphysema or something of that nature. However, she still carried her own firewood into the house even as she reached age 85 and above.

The compiler remembers that she always seemed to have a freshly baked pie at hand for when visitors arrived that quickly calmed any fears that a young teenager may have had with regard to this seemingly strange old woman (actually she was not strange at all - it just seemed so to us young fellas). She made perhaps the best tasting pumpkin pies and blueberry pies possible that, when still warm from the oven, took the bite off a cold late autumn day.

A transcription of a letter written by Mary F. Hitch to Radford Hitch in Georgia:

New Bedford, Mass. March 10, 1900

Dear Cousin Radford:

I was very glad to hear from you, and am glad you liked my picture. When I looked at yours I did not wonder that Captain Clay had recognized you as a member of the Hitch family. It is always pleasant to make new acquaintances, if only on paper, and I trust we may see each other after I shall be very glad at sometime to accept your invitation and visit you in your home.

Perhaps you would like to know something about me. In June 1890, I graduated from Wellesley College, proud in my possession of a B.A. degree. Since there I have been teaching in a preparatory school for _____ in this city. I have charge of the Geometry, Latin, and Greek classes so you may imagine time does not waste(?) on my hands. The school is not a large one, but most of the pupils are interested in this work, which makes my task(?) all the pleasanter. We send about six to college each year.

Before taking up this work, I was in a bank. I rather(?) enjoy business better, and therefore am studying Stenography. My brother is a cotton sampler and stapler. He with my Mother and myself and a cousin compose our family, my Father having died a few years before I graduated from Wellesley.

When you send your picture I wish we might have one of Mrs. (?) Hitch too, for we are glad to welcome her to the family.

We are having delightful spring weather now, and I shall make my first excursion into the woods this week. It is time now(?) to enjoy the willows and alders and birches and note with what grace their tassels give us their spring-greeting. I am very fond of the wild flowers and have quite a large herbarium. We have the electric now out into the suburbs so it is easy to become acquainted with nature; and man cannot improve upon our early spring friends in their snow white purity and grace, as if they had received their color from the snow.

Mrs. Fengae (?) wished to be remembered to you and your wife, to whom we all send most cordial greetings and many wishes _____ _____ _____ _____, much prosperity.

Affectionately Your Cousin, Mary F. Hitch

Mike: Look at this big discovery on the subject of what happened to Caroline Hitch Takamine
after her husband, Jokichi, died in 1922?

Arizona Daily Star. 2006. June 20. "Vail congregants to worship in roomier surroundings."

"Catholics in the exploding community of Vail southeast of Tucson are at
long last getting a reprieve from overcrowding that has plagued their church for the past decade." The original St. Rita's sanctuary, which continues to draw tourists from around the world, will continue to be used for weekday Masses. Tourists also are often drawn to the history of the shrine, which was dedicated in 1935 to Japanese chemist Jokichi Takamine - a Buddhist who converted to Catholicism - by his widow, Caroline Takamine Beach. Takamine Beach moved to Arizona from New York City to marry Vail rancher Charles P. Beach after her first husband died in 1922.

"The altar and tabernacle are made from stone from the nearby Santa Rita Mountains. The altar weighs 5 tons. Stations of the Cross made of Mexican tile in the church are from the original 1935 construction.

"The church was able to acquire extra land for its new building with more
than $200,000 left in a trust by the Beach and Takamine families, for use
only if St. Rita's was still attracting worshippers.

"Parameters set out by the families forbade any alterations to the chapel. But no one in 1935 could have predicted the surge in Vail's population. The church was originally built for what was then a large population of migrant Mexicans
who worked on ranches and for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Note: Charles Beach was born in 1865."

Caroline married Jokichi Takamine I, son of Sei-Ichi Takamine ⁷ and Yuki (?), on 10 Aug 1887 in New Orleans, LA.⁷ Jokichi was born on 9 Nov 1854 in Kanazawa, Kaga, Japan^⁷ and died on 22 Jul 1922 in New York City, NY^⁷ at age 67.

Marriage Notes: Story is told in "Where the Wings Grow" by Agnes De Mille published by Doubleday, NY, 1978.

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard": "Dr. Takamine discovered adrenaline and takadiastase. He was also a financier and a patron of the arts especially the arts of his native land. His Japanese Gardens at Marriewold, NY. are famous. It was he who offered 2000 Japanese cherry trees as a gift to Mrs. Taft in the name of the city of Tokyo, to be placed in Potomac Park, Washington, D.C. Later he increased the number to 3000. These are one of the beauties of Washington. He was a Samurai of the Kanazawa Clan. He was the son of Sei-Ichi and Yuki Takamine.

He graduated in engineering and chemistry - Imperial University of Tokyo in 1879. Government student to the University of Glascow for three years. Appointed chemist for the Department of Agriculture and Commerce of the Japanese Government. In 1884 he was appointed as the representative of Japan at the New Orleans Cotton Centennial Fair. He was President of the Nippon Club. Prominent in several other Japanese Clubs. After his marriage he took his bride to Japan for a few years where his two sons were born. For some time he maintained a home on Riverside Drive, New York, but he died in the Lennox Hospital, New York City and was buried from the Cathedral of St. Patrick."

Found this in 2012:

"Jokichi Takamine was born on November 3, 1854 in Takaoka City but spent most of his childhood in Kanazawa. His father, Seiichi, was a physician. His mother, Yukiko, came from a family that owned a sake brewery. From an early age, Jokichi showed an aptitude for languages and science and he was encouraged by his father to pursue western
scientific interests. At the age of 12 he began the study of "foreign science" in Nagasaki; at 16 he was admitted to the medical school in Osaka; at 18 he transferred to a program in chemistry at the College of Science and Engineering in Tokyo; at 24 he was selected by the government to study technology at the University in Glasgow. While in Scotland he perfected his English, studied the industrial revolution and specialized in the practice of fertilizer manufacturing. Then he returned home to Japan and took a job with the newly established Japanese Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The goal was to apply western technology to Japanese products. However, his stay in Japan was short. In 1884, he was sent to the USA to be a co-commissioner of the Cotton Exposition held in New Orleans, Louisiana. While in New Orleans he rented a French Quarter apartment from a retired Union Officer, Colonel Ebenezer Hitch and befriended a young journalist named Lafcadio Hearn, who later emigrated to Japan and achieved fame as a writer. He also continued his research into fertilizer powders and more significantly, fell in love with his landlord's daughter, Caroline Field Hitch. Before returning to Japan at the end of the Cotton Exposition, Takamine proposed marriage to Caroline, promising to return as soon as he had established himself financially. Good to his word, after having been appointed Acting Chief of the newly organized Japanese Bureau of Patents and Trade Marks, he was back to the USA within two years. The wedding took place in the heat of the New Orleans summer, on August 10, 1887. It was an unconventional match for the era and one which would eventually cement Takamine's connection to the USA. On their honeymoon, the young couple went to South Carolina where they visited fertilizer manufacturing plants and then to Washington D.C. where Takamine studied U.S. patent law. Finally they traveled west to California and then sailed to Japan. Once in his homeland, Takamine established the first Japanese super-phosphate plant to supply Dr. Jokichi Takamine:

Japanese father of American Biotechnology
fertilizer to the rice farmers, the Tokyo Artificial Fertilizer Company. The young couple lived near the fertilizer factory. Two sons, Jokichi Jr. and Eben were born in quick succession in 1888 and 1890. Although both children were healthy and the young couple was undoubtedly in love, the situation was difficult. The neighborhood around the
fertilizer plant was "neither comfortable nor respectable" and it smelled bad. Caroline's
blond hair and blue eyes made her conspicuous. Jokichi's mother made it clear that she
did not like her foreign daughter in law. Because Caroline was unhappy living in Japan,
Jokichi sought new business opportunities in the USA. He knew he could not compete in
the well established American fertilizer industry. Therefore in a stroke of genius,
Takamine decided to reverse what was then the usual cultural flow of technology. Rather than adopting a western technology to a Japanese enterprise, Takamine adapted a Japanese technology to a western industry.

The diastatic enzyme from Aspergillus oryzae
Over the centuries, brewers in both eastern and western cultures learned by trial and error how to use yeast to make alcohol. Alcoholic fermentations start with sugar. Since yeast does not possess any starch degrading enzymes, starchy materials such as corn, rice and wheat must be saccharified before fermentation. Starch-degrading enzymes are variously called amylases or, in the older literature, diastases. In Western brewing, diastatic enzymes were traditionally derived from malt made from germinating barley. In Japan and some other Asian cultures, diastases were obtained from mold cultures grown on rice. These kojis are comparable to malt but more enzymatically active. Believing that a diastatic enzyme derived from Aspergillus oryzae could revolutionize the American distillery industry, Takamine and his young family returned to the USA in 1890. He worked first from Chicago and then from Peoria, Illinois, adapting the koji process for the beer and whiskey business. Sponsored by the Whiskey Trust, the Peoria distillery where he was employed was successful because the fungal diastase was faster to saccharrify starch and cheaper to produce than the diastase from malt. Unfortunately but perhaps predictably, the local malt manufacturers did not welcome Takamine's innovation. Historical records are unclear, but there is evidence of racist labor agitation and perhaps even arson. The distillery where Takamine worked was burned to the ground and he was financially ruined. To make matters worse, he was stricken with an acute liver disease and had to have emergency surgery in Chicago. It was the low point of his life and Caroline sold arts and crafts to support the family. Luckily, Takamine recovered his health and with good health he recovered his optimism. In 1894 Takamine applied for and was granted a patent entitled "Process of making diastatic enzyme" (U.S. Patent No. 525,823) on his method of growing mold on bran and using aqueous alcohol to extract amylase. It was the first patent on a microbial enzyme in the USA. Further Takamine recognized that the diastatic properties of the Aspergillus enzyme had potential medical applications and he licensed his enzyme preparation to Parke, Davis & Company of Detroit, Michigan, under the brand name "Taka-diastase." Parke-Dais aggressively marketed it as a digestive aid for the treatment of dyspepsia said to be due to the incomplete digestion of starch. Takadiastase was enormously successful and Takamine became a consultant to the company. With Parke, Davis as his patron, he moved his family to New York and established an independent laboratory on East 103rd Street in Manhattan.

Adrenalin
Once established in New York, Takamine turned his attentions to another biological
product that is active in minute amounts, namely the "internal secretions" associated with glands, in particular a blood pressure raising principle from the adrenal glands. In 1897, Professor John Jacob Abel, working with Albert Crawford, had purified a crystalline blood pressure principle that they named epinephrine. It was later shown that they isolated a benzoyl derivative rather than the pure hormone (Davenport, 1982). Takamine studied Abel's method, visited him at Johns Hopkins University, and hired a young chemist from Japan, Keizo Uenaka (sometimes transcribed as Keizo Wooyenaka) to assist him in his research. It was Uenaka, working alone who first obtained a crystalline product, but it was Takamine who filed a patent application on November 5, 1900, entitled "Glandular extractive product" on a blood pressure raising principle. He named the crystalline substance "Adrenalin" and presented two papers, one before the Society of Chemical Industry and the other before the New York State Medical Society. In 1901, he published two single author papers in the scientific literature and applied for and was awarded the right to the word "Adrenalin" as a USA trademark. Almost immediately, Parke, Davis started manufacturing the product and selling it under the trade name of Adrenalin. Adrenalin was the first of many 'blockbuster' drugs introduced during the 20th century. It was effective in controlling hemorrhage in surgery and also found uses in cardiology, obstetrics and in the treatment of asthma and other allergies. It prolonged the action of certain anesthetics and it is still used today to relieve respiratory distress (Bennett, 2001). Takamine's patent on the "Glandular extractive product" was originally filed on November 5, 1900, but subsequently the application was divided and resubmitted. Eventually, on June 2, 1903, five separate US Patents were granted to Takamine on adrenaline. He also obtained British and Japanese patent rights on the drug. Later, a rival company of Parke-Davis, H. K. Mulford, attacked the adrenaline patents with the argument that the hormone existed in nature, and that Takamine's work had been anticipated by Abel and others. A famous American judge named Learned Hand listened to days of technical testimony and carefully studied the chemical arguments. His summation is a virtuoso piece of legal writing and it contains a sentence that has become famous in American biotechnology patent history: "I cannot stop without calling attention to the extraordinary condition of the law which makes it possible for a man without knowledge of even the rudiments of chemistry to pass upon such questions as these." (Circuit Court, S.D. New York, April 28, 1911, Federal Reporter 189:115). Judge Hand ruled in favor of Parke, Davis; Mulford was ordered to cease infringing. It is important to note that because Takamine's name was not mentioned in the title of the law suit (Parke, Davis & Co. v. H. K. Mulford Co.) most people who study patent history don't realize that he was involved in this milestone legal precedent.

Takamine's Golden Years
Takamine became increasingly famous and wealthy. The emperor of Japan
acknowledged Takamine's success by conferring the Order of the Rising Sun, Fourth
Class. The emperor also sent fifteen imperial cherry trees to Parke, Davis where they
were planted in front of the administrative offices.
Takamine used the new royalties from Adrenalin, and the continuing royalties form
Taka-Diastase, to expand his business operations in both enzyme and pharmaceuticals.
He invested in Japanese industries in aluminum, asbestos, bakelite and caustic soda. He
founded three major companies; Sankyo Pharmaceutical Company of Tokyo, the
International Takamine Ferment Company of New York, and the Takamine Laboratory
of Clifton, New Jersey. Among the products manufactured at the Clifton laboratory was
Salvarsan, the first true chemotherapeutic agent, where he hired a young scientist named
Selamn Waksman to oversee toxicity testing. In addition to managing his own
companies and his investments, he turned his energies towards improving the position of
the Japanese in the USA. It was an era when many Asian immigrants were denied basic
civil rights and there was widespread discrimination against Japanese. For example, even
though Takamine had an American wife, the laws of the time prevented him from
becoming a US citizen. Nevertheless, his wealth allowed him to move in high society
where he made a point of dressing in Japanese clothes and talking about Japanese culture.
His homes were built in the Japanese style, and furnished with traditional Japanese
furniture so that Americans could be exposed to the refined aesthetic of his native
country. His summer home, Sho Fu Den in Merriewold, New York is still in existence
containing much of the original furniture, and is maintained by the Japanese Heritage
Foundation. He helped found both the Nippon Club and the Japanese Society to foster
better relations between Americans and the Japanese. When he learned that the US
President's wife, Mrs. William Howard Taft, was working to beautify the Tidal Basin
Area around the Potomac River in Washington, D.C, Takamine funded the gift of cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo to the City of Washington. The Japanese cherry trees have become a major tourist attraction.

Epilogue
Jokichi Takamine died of the liver ailment that had plagued him most of his life on July
22, 1922. His funeral was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and he was
interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in an elaborate crypt with a stained glass window that
depicts Mr. Fuji. In his will, he left most of his estate to Caroline, who commissioned a
vanity biography for her late husband, sold off the Japanese style homes, and then
married a much younger American man who eventually dissipated much of her fortune.
Jokichi Jr. died under mysterious circumstances well before World War II and with his
death the International Ferment Company of New York was dissolved. Eben continued
running the Clifton company. After his death in 1953, Eben's widow sold it to Miles
Laboratories o Elkhart, Indiana. In 1978, Miles was acquired by Bayer Corporation and
several years later the antiquated facilities in Clifton were leveled and the land sold off
for a suburban housing development. In 1989, Bayer sold the Miles enzyme business to
Solvay, a Belgian company, which in turn sold the business to Genencor International in
1996. The old Miles facility in Elkhart, Indiana, which had housed some archival
Takamine materials was closed. Mr. Jay Shetty of Genencor International, working with
Yutaka Yamomoto, arranged to have Takamine's papers and other artifacts from the
Miles Archives moved to "The Great People of Kanazawa Memorial Museum" in
Kanazawa, Japan. In addition, Arthur Sears of Valley Research, Inc. South Bend,
Indiana, established a Takamine Memorial Room at his company headquarters.
In "The Great People of Kanazawa Memorial Museum," Dr. Takamine is one of five
people with a special exhibit devoted to him. One display gives a detailed description of
the process for extracting the diastatic enzyme from Aspergillus oryzae. Also featured
are evening clothes worn by Jokichi and Caroline, family photographs and information
on Adrenalin. Takamine's death mask is kept in storage along with original
correspondence, diary and other materials from the Miles Archives. Sankyo Company is the only part of Takamine's business empire that survives. It has grown into one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Japan. At their research and development center in Shinagawa, Tokyo, a special room is maintained containing Takamine's desk and some other personal effects, as well as a handsome portrait in oils. Takamine was a great man who built a great fortune yet his road to success began with a humble koji mold. Some of Takamine's methods for culturing filamentous fungi are still used in modern solid state fermentation for the commercial enzyme industry, where there is increasing demand for fungal amylases in baking and for starch conversion processes. Remarkably one hundred and ten years after its introduction, Taka-diastase continues to be available as a popular digestive aid. Takamine's work on the extraction and commercialization of the diastatic enzymes of Aspergillus oryzae led, through his ties to Parke, Davis to even more ground breaking work on mammalian hormones. Adrenalin (now sold under the generic name epinephrine) remains an important drug. Thus, in addition to being a pioneer of enzymology Takamine was a major figure in endocrinology, isolating epinephrine, and patenting and copy righting it under the name Adrenalin. Unlike many scientists, he was brilliantly entrepreneurial: he knew how to turn his biochemical extracts into profitable products. Quite remarkably, he held two of the earliest patents in biotechnology: the first patent on a microbial enzyme and the first patent on a purified hormone. Jokichi Takamine understood the power of philanthropy. During his lifetime, he did much to improve cultural and political relationships between Japan and the USA. The cherry trees in Washington D.C are a lasting legacy of his foresight. 150 years after his birth, it is important to remember his contributions not only to biotechnology but also to cultural understanding.
