Curt was in the Officers Training Camp during the World War I but saw very little service. Republican. - Given by one of the family."

The following is from a book on Music in Indiana:

HITCH'S HAPPY HARMONISTS

This Evansville band, as evidenced by its Gennett recordings, offers a clear example of how one orchestra, upon hearing another, could make a significant departure from its accustomed style, and embrace that of its competitor.

The model in this case was the Wolverines. According to the Happy Harmonists' leader, Curt Hitch, and its cornet star, the late Fred Rollison, the change was a conscious one. Hitch's band was then four years old.

Curt Hitch was born November 23, 1897, in Gibson County, near the town of Princeton. His father was a farmer; his mother taught public school. Of the ten children in the family, Curt and a sister played piano, and a brother played drums. All were self-taught. Curt says that during his whole musical career he remained an improvisor.

He was twenty-three years old when he was approached by his friend Earl "Buddy" McDowell, who had booked a dance and needed a piano player. Curt's reply was quick: "You know I can't read music - besides, I know only a few good tunes."

Buddy was persuasive: "Don't worry about that. Just play them over and over again. Nobody'll care. All they want to do is dance."

Intrigued, Curt signed on. The dancers at the little community of Haubstadt thus became merely the first of many thousands who would be stepping in tempo to the music of the genial pianist and his men for the next seven years.

Curt and Buddy were the nucleus of a five-piece combination formed that year. The others were: Dewey Neal, bass sax; Maurice "Piggy" May, banjo; and Fred Draves, clarinet and alto sax. Dewey's brother Myron ("Rookie") was then working in the jazz leagues at Davenport, Iowa, with Carlisle Evans' band. He was in fast company as he played his C-melody sax beside such future jazz greats as Leon Rappolo and Lou Black (both to be members of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings) and a New Orleans cornetist, Emmett Hardy, whom many consider to have been a prime influence upon the still-developing Bix Beiderbecke. Rookie was brought back to Evansville to replace the departing Fred Draves, in 1922.

Their first solid booking had been at the Vendome Hotel Tea Room and Pastry Shop. At 10¢ a dance, the weekly take amounted to several hundred dollars. "Not bad," says Curt, "considering a dollar was worth a lot in those days."

That year the band's sound was given more balance by the addition of two brass players: trombonist Jerry Bump and cornetist Fred Rollison.

Soon, through the influence of an Evansville youth serving as president of the ATO Fraternity at Bloomington, they got an introduction to the IU campus. Other organizations were soon bidding for their services, among them the Kappa Sigs, represented by Hoagy Carmichael.

"Remember," Hitch says, "in those days IU wasn't the giant place it is today. There were only several thousand students then, and when a new band came to play, everybody knew it. They'd parade you all over campus on the back of a truck, then maybe down to Sorority Row to serenade the girls. It was a lot of fun."

Curt says this was about the time the band settled on its name, borrowing in part from the historic Hoosier communal settlement of New Harmony. They were indeed "happy" harmonists, hardly any older than the college crowd they served. Using no music, their explorations were new each night. Fred Rollison in particular was in search of a jazz style, and must have had a spiritual kinship with the also-questing Carmichael. Roth would be transfixed at the sound of Beiderbecke.

Fortunately, the Happy Harmonists were on the scene when the Wolverines arrived to play a dance on campus. The wild enthusiasm provoked by Bix and his friends (especially when they blew Copenhagen, a tune they'd picked up from the Charlie Davis band in Indianapolis) was instructive. The Hitch men listened, and absorbed.

Maurice May listened to George Johnson, whose musical lines were in that day as highly-admired as Bix's (May was about to make a change to tenor.) Within the hour, Fred Rollison, too, had sensed discovery. Together, the Harmonists probed just what gave the Wolverines such a special sound: the ensemble voicing...the breaks...the musical "explosions."

In a matter or weeks, the transformation was complete. It was for the Indiana men a good move, and they rode it for all it was worth right through the mid-20s. As a unit, they outlived their model, for (unlike the Wolverines) they were capable of a well-rounded dance program-waltzes, and slow, romantic foxtrots-with which to complement their "hot" specialties.

As the face of the music changed, so did the face of the band. New additions from Evansville were the slightly-built clarinetist, Harry "Mousey" Wright, and serious, steady Arnold Habbe. Maurice May was on tenor, and Haskell Simpson, on tuba, provided his deep tones.

In the reorganization, Rollison became the musical director, though the band retained the Hitch name.

Though they played a great deal in and around Evansville, the Happy Harmonists were to be seen all over Indiana in the next years, making occasional forays into Illinois and Wisconsin, where they had a summer-long booking at Appleton's Waverly Beach.

Their name was spread by a series of recordings at Richmond. Curt says they had no illusions that making records would make them any money. "We considered them as promotion - it didn't hurt to advertise yourselves as a 'recording' orchestra."

The initial session in September 1923 produced Cruel Woman and Home Brew Blues. These represent the band's early sound. Five months later, there were three more releases: Steady-Steppin' Papa (a follow-up to Cruel Woman, according to Curt); Ethiopian Nightmare (Alexander's Ragtime Band in blackface); and Baptistown Crawl, named for Evansville's Negro district. In this session, Jerry Bump's talent for solo breaks is evident, and Rollison's pre-Bix style is mature.

By January 1925, when the Harmonists made their third visit to the recording studio, Jerry Bump had left to join Charlie Davis in Indianapolis. The instrumentation was now identical to that of the Wolverines and the style and sound of the band had moved in that direction. The repertoire this session at Gennett was chosen by the recording company, who had asked for material with ragtime flavor. Cataract Rag Blues and Nightingale Rag Blues were the result of head arrangements built up by Rollison, Wright and May.

They were back in Richmond the following May, under the temporary musical influence and direction of Hoagy Carmichael. It was easy for Hitch to sit this one out on the sidelines, for he admired both Hoagy's keyboard ideas and his compositional skill. "Besides," he says, " I could no more have played that stuff than the man in the moon."

"Hoagy had brought a couple of his own numbers along - had his own arrangements, too - Boneyard Shuffle and Washboard Blues. In those days you ran through the numbers a couple of times just to get the right position in front of the two recording horns sticking out of the wall. As I recall, Boneyard Shuffle went over OK, but when we had played Washboard Blues the guy came out and said they couldn't use it - it ran about twenty seconds short for a ten-inch record. Well, you can imagine how Hoagy felt at that.

"I told the man that these were Mr. Carmichael's own compositions, and his arrangements, and they both had to be recorded. Just then Hoagy took me aside and said if we'd all get out of the studio for a bit, he'd do something. Ten minutes later he had cooked up a piano interlude to go right in the middle of the thing, and it turned out to be the theme for his later hit Lazybones!"

That summer the Happy Harmonists played an engagement at Walnut Gardens, near Indianapolis. Following the Labor Day closing, Paulie Freed, a Moline pianist working at the Athletic Club, borrowed Buddy McDowell, Harry Wright and Fred Rollison for a pick-up session at Gennett, using the name of Paulie Freed and His Rhythmicians. Jerry Bump, along with Davisites George Harper and Min Leibrook was in attendance, plus banjoist Lennie Esterdahi of Moline. They cut two sides, neither of which were released. Fred later told Hitch that "everybody was trying to play lead - all chiefs and no Indians."

Despite this fiasco, Freed was able to lure most of the group to Chicago, with the exception of Rollison and Wright. Aside from a marathon recording session at Okeh with trumpeter Wingy Mannone (in which eight titles were cut, and never heard of again), there was little action for them. George Harper recalled years later a glorious moment in a rooming house when Mannone opened a package containing his new artificial arm. "My arm's here - my arm's here!" the trump- eter kept yelling. As he strapped it on, Harper's dry wit surfaced: "What are you going to call it, Wingy?"

Later, Rollison would make his break, joining Al Katz and his Kittens. His replacement, equally impressive, would be Evansville cornetist, William "Dub" Shoffner.

In 1927, the band quietly dissolved. Arnold Habbe enrolled at Indiana University, where he would become closely associated with the Hoagy Carmichael circle; Harry Wright and Shoffner headed for Indianapolis and the band of Connie Connaughton. Rookie Neal would follow suit in about a year.

Looking back at perhaps the most precious seven years of his life, Curt Hitch is grateful: "Money couldn't buy the extraordinarily satisfying experiences of those years, nor could more meaningful or lasting friendships be realized."

Curt echoes a thought common to all those who worked in the bands. The life was exciting. It was also rigorous, and the hours could be brutal. Travel was more often than not boring. Income was usually unpredictable, and the separations from families could work hardship, but the years have washed away much that was bad, leaving in high relief the friendships, the joy of playing and the gaiety of the crowds. These are the things that stick in the mind as musicians glance backward through the tunnel of time.

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard," Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931: "Allen Spain Hitch, at the time his father was shot and killed while performing his duties as a policeman, was but 24 years old and the eldest of ten children. His mother died a few months later partly as the result from the untimely and tragic death of her husband. Thus was Allen Spain Hitch left by virtue of being the eldest of the family, advisor of this large brood. Seven of them were boys. It was he, also, who later entered a protest to the Indiana State Prison Board of Pardons against the release of his father's slayer, Walter Bocail # 5541.

The protest was duly and satisfactory acted upon by the State Board. His father had gone to the rescue of Brovail's wife, who was in danger of her life when he was shot. At the time one of her children was seriously ill. This sad event happened on Sunday which happened to be Mother's Day. Harrison Clement Hitch, the slain man, was held in very high esteem. During the funeral every person's home in the city was closed as were the stores, banks, and the Court House.

Allen Spain Hitch had a common school education in Gibson Co., IN at Patoka, Princeton, and country school. As a young man he started work in a grocery store at the age of 13. He worked for E.P.Downey at Princeton, IN for four and one half years. He then worked for the Princeton Mercantile Co. and John B. Woods, a short time each place. Was with the Reo Motor Car Co., Lansing, MI. for some time, was also with the National Motor Car Co., at Indianapolis, IN.

In the fall of 1910 he entered the employ of the Wilt Mercantile Co. at West Frankfort, IL. He was there several months and married while there. He then operated a wholesale and retail news stand at Princeton, IN about two years. Then went into partnership with his brothers, Morton and Horace, and established the firm known as Hitch Brothers Wholesale and Retail Meat Dealers.

He stayed with this firm about a year and then entered the employ of B.T.Baven Co., publishers, Indianapolis, IN. He traveled in Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Kansas for two years for this firm. Then entered the employ of Standard Oil Co. (IN) at Milwaukee, WI in January 1917 as salesman. He has worked in many capacities and places with this company. At present (1931) is superintendent of south eastern district Wisconsin.

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard," Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931: "He (Harrison Clement Hitch) is short, stocky, winning smile. To know him is to like him. Most of Harrison's early life had to with the Army and war. He had not finished grade school when the trouble along the Mexican Border required the attention of our troops and Harrison was among the first to enlist for the service.

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard," Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931: "Ted" is a big, strapping fellow, 5 feet, eleven and one half inches. He weighs 190 pounds and has not an ounce of fat. He was only 14 when he joined the Navy but he was big for his age and never suspected of being so young. He distinguished himself in the World War and after it was ended, worked with his brother Allen in the oil business in Wisconsin and with HITCH BROTHERS in the meat business in Indiana. He later acquired an interest in the latter firm which he still holds.

Ted owns a nice home at Patoka, IN. about four and one half miles from the place where his mother was born. (Record given by same member of family that gave the records of his brothers and sisters.)"

General Notes: From "A Hitch Orchard," Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931: "He is short and stocky, almost identical to his brother Morton in size. He bemoans the fact that he was too young during the war to get into service. Three brothers were serving and they were his idols for the time. Once he wrote me, "Allen, it just seems that I was born too late to be of any use in this world." It is easy to see why he did join the Navy just as soon as he was old enough to get in. His enlistment was an interesting one. He served on the U.S.S. Oklahoma and among the many places he visited were the Panama Canal and Lima, Peru.

He is now (1931) a member of the firm of HITCH BROTHERS, Princeton, IN."

MRS. FLORENCE HITCH SUMMONED TO REST

Succumbs Following an Operation Two Weeks Previously. _____

Funeral services for Mrs. Florence Hitch, who died at a Grand Island hospital Friday morning, May 24, were held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon and were attended by a large number of her friends and relatives. Rev. A. L. Kellogg was in charge and interment was made in Cedar View Cemetery. A large number of floral tributes testified to the number of friends who mourn her going.

Her death came unexpectedly Friday morning. She had undergone an operation two weeks previously and although her recovery had been slow, she was believed to be on the way to recovery until a short time before her death.

Mrs. Hitch is entitled to be remembered as one of the outstandingly heroic mothers of the community. Her husband, Frank Hitch, died in 1919, and by willing and conscientious labor, she managed to keep her family together. Only one son, Bobby, remains at home.

Florence Brintlinger was born July 30, 1874, at the family home near Ashville, Ohio, and died May 24, 1929, at the St. Francis Hospital, Grand Island, Nebr., aged 54 years, 9 months, and 24 days. On March 19, 1898, she was united in marriage to Francis Marion Hitch, who preceded her in death November 22, 1919. To this union were born eight children: Arthur H., of Talmage, Mrs. Vera L. Williams, Mrs. Martha M. Flyr, Mrs. Nada Belle Chapin, George W., and Harold T., all of Kansas City, Mo., Francis M., of Juniata, and Robert W., at home.

Besides the eight children, she leaves to mourn her loss six grandchildren, three brothers, Taylor and Hoadley Brintlinger of Ashville, Ohio, and Burt Brintlinger of Columbus, Ohio, two sisters, Mrs. G. H. Duvall and Mrs. J. B. Brinker, of Ashville, Ohio, a stepson, Harley H. Hitch, of Doniphan, and a host of friends in the Doniphan and Juniata communities where she has made her home for the past twenty-three years. Her parents, one sister, Mrs. M. E. Brinker, all of Ashville, Ohio, and a grandson, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Hitch of Juniata, preceeded her in death.

She united with the Methodist Church at Doniphan, October 1, 1912, and has ever since been a faithful member.

After graduation he was for a time with the National Cash Register Co. in Dayton, Ohio. he was promoted rapidly, being sent to St. Louis and Portland, Oregon. In 1906 he returned to Norfolk and engaged in real estate and finance. Companies organized by Mr. Collins have been universally successful.

General Notes: Citizens Stunned As Young Katie Adkins Is Killed In Crime Of Passion In 1903

While rolling through the old newspapers in the library in search of some tidbits of history for and essay I was working on, I came upon a story that caught my attention. My undisciplined focus was easy to break so I allowed myself to stray and read about a horrible murder.

A young man, desperate with passion and the rejection by his girl shot her in the head with a borrowed pistol and them attempted the same on himself. While such a crime would hardly be front page news today, the peculiarity of reading the events through the eyes of the newspaper some 95 years later was intriguing enough to cause me to dig deeper and learn more.

Seventeen year old Clarissa Katherine Adkins, known about town as Katie, was being courted by Elmer Heath, eighteen years young and restless. Though Katie's family objected to their match, her mother eventually consented to a marriage which was to have taken place about the time of the incident if it were not for young Heath's involvement in a theft.

Curiosity caused me to visit the cemetery behind the Old School Baptist Church in Salisbury. The graves of Miss Adkins and her mother and father are there. Oddly, the murdered young lady's father died exactly 1 year to the day before her murder.

The following is the text of the newspaper articles covering the murder and the trial of young Heath in the ensuing months.

Wicomico Weekly News Thursday, June 25th, 1903

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SALISBURY! ELMER HEATH MURDERS HIS SWEETHEART, MISS KATIE ADKINS AND ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

The Young Couple Were To Have Been Married, And The License Hand Been Secured, But She Broke The Engagement Because He Had Been Charged With Theft Of Money - Heath Sent For Miss Adkins Saturday Night And When She Met Him At The Home Of A Neighbor Took Her Life.

A strange, sand and pathetic story of love, betrothal, and murder is interwoven in the terrible tragedy which happened at the home of Mr. Leon Messick, beyond the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk station, Saturday night last. From its consequences there is today a new made grave in the Cemetery, a family broken by grief and a young man awaiting the terrible punishment of the law for murder.

More than two years ago, Elmer Heath, a young man of about eighteen years, began paying court to Miss Katie Adkins, a sweet, beautiful young lady who lives on East Church Street, extended. The young couple seemed happy in each others love, and were betrothed a shore while ago. While the young lady's family objected to the match, the mother finally gave her consent and the marriage was to have taken place last week, the marriage license having been secured from the Court House on June 11th.

The Match Broken Off.

About this time young Heath was accused of having stolen eighty dollars from his employer, and the young lady hearing of the affair, sent for him and told him the marriage could not take place until his name had been cleared of the charge. He immediately returned sixty-four dollars of the money and promised to make the other good. Not withstanding his pleadings, however the young women would not consent to the marriage for some time yet, and Heath, in despair, left Salisbury Sunday night June 14th, for Camden, N.J., to obtain work. Not being satisfied he returned to Salisbury early Saturday morning last and at once wrote a note to his sweetheart, telling her he was again in Salisbury, and wanted to see her. From his report he received an answer to his missive, but he does not tell what it contained. He remained around the vicinity of Miss Adkins' home all day, and at four o'clock in the afternoon borrowed a revolver form Larry Collins with which (as he says) to kill himself.

Tragedy At The Messick Home.

From the best reports obtainable it seems that Heath and his sweetheart went to the rear of the Messick home, and seated themselves upon a bench in the back yard. What transpired after that no one but the murderer knows, but within a space of fifteen or twenty minutes a revolver shot rang out on the gathering gloom of night and with it's report the soul of the young girl was ushered in to eternity. Following close upon the first report were four others and when the neighbors rushed to the rear of the house the body of Miss Adkins was found lying on the ground with her feet on the bench. Heath was nowhere to be seen, but a smoking revolver, with five empty chambers, was found within ten feet of the girl's body. Lifting the body it was taken to the porch a few feet distant but life was extinct. There were two bullet holes through the right temple and death must have been instantaneous. Dr. Dick was summoned and he examined the body and pronounced that life was extinct.

Great Excitement In The Crowd

Great Excitement took charge of the gathering crowd, and search was at once instituted for the murderer, who was found two hundred yards away, fist upon his face on the ground, with two bullet holes in his head. He was taken at once to the jail, and Drs. Slemons, Morris, Dick and Truitt, went to work to bring him around. It was soon discovered that he was not seriously hurt, but the reports of his real condition were somewhat exaggerated, as by this time there had gathered a large crowd of determined friends of the young of the young lady, who were breathing vengeance against the cold blooded murderer. All Saturday night a guard remained at the jail with Sheriff Fooks. Heath rallied by Sunday morning and his wounds were not considered dangerous.

Justice Trader summoned a jury of inquest, who examined the body and turned it over to the family of the deceased.

Scene At The Girls Home

The scene at the home of the murdered girl when her body was taken there was a most pathetic one. Her mother was prostrated with grief, and here brothers and sisters wild with despair. An examination showed that the first bullet had gone straight through the right temple to the left side of the head. The second bullet had glanced upward and was lodged in the forehead. The young lady had a peaceful expression on her face, as if her sweetheart had said something very pleasant just before he sent her soul into eternity.

All day Sunday crowds of people passed the house where the body of pretty Katie Adkins lay cold in death, and more than a hundred people called at the house to view the remains and lend consolation to the bereaved family. The body presented a life like appearance. There was a peaceful expression on the face, and but for the two ugly bullet holes in the temple, one might have imagined the young lady asleep. Miss Adkins was a beautiful blond of fine form and appearance, and of the most kindly disposition. She was a favorite with the girls of her set, and all the men spoke in the highest terms of her. In disrobing the body after being taken home, a breast pin was discovered at the lady's throat on which was a picture of Heath.

The awful tragedy happened on the first anniversary of the death of the young lady's father and her body was interred at the same hour and in the same place as his was a year ago.

Young Lady Was Well Connected.

She was a daughter of the late Lambert Adkins and a niece of County Commissioner Elijah J. Adkins and City Councilman Herbert H. Hitch, and a cousin of Prof. William J. Holloway principal of the Salisbury High School. She was a favorite with both men and women. Heath has not borne the very best reputation since his residence here. He is a member of Company I, Maryland National Guard, and was to have attended the encampment at Belair this year.

All night long Saturday night there was a large concourse of people passing around the streets near the jail and it was fearful at one time that something dreadful might happen to the young murderer behind the bars, and but for the fact that he did not regain consciousness until Sunday morning, is thought to have saved him from an awful fate at the hands of the crowds gathered there.

The Murderer Tells His Story.

Heath's condition was so far improved Sunday morning that several of the prominent citizens were allowed to visit his cell. He however refused to talk to anyone, and upon the advice of the States Attorney, Sheriff Fooks closed the doors to all parties, except the newspaper reporters. The News man had a half hour's interview with Heath Sunday morning. He was perfectly rational and told his story in a straight forward manner. He said:

"I have been going with Miss Adkins for several years. We both loved each other very much. Several weeks ago we decided to be married, and I asked her mother for her. Mrs. Adkins gave her consent, but asked us to wait a short while before being married. We consented, but later we decided to be married at once, and on June 11th, I got G. Brittingham to get a set of marriage licenses, and we were to be married right away, but my name became mixed up in the stealing of money, and the young lady sent for me and told me that we could not get married until after that matter had been cleared up and my name cleared of the charge.

Being despondent over the breaking off of the match, I left Salisbury Sunday night, June 14th, and went to Camden, N.J., to get work. Arriving there I wrote Katie a letter and forgot to put my house number on it, and immediately wrote her another one, in which I told her I could not live without her. she answered and told me to be sure and behave myself and make a man out of myself. Failing to get work I returned to Salisbury early Saturday morning, June 20.

I wrote her a note Saturday and told her how unhappy I was. I sent the note by a little boy, Thos. Dawson, and received an answer, I told her in this note that I would not be living long and she answered and told me to take care of myself and be a good boy. During the day I became more and more determined to kill myself and about four o'clock I met Larry Collins, a young man who I new very well and asked him to loan me his revolver. He did so and I found it was loaded with five bullets. Shortly after that I went to the pond, intending to kill myself, but my uncle, Mr. Leon Messick, had sent someone to watch me and I had no chance. While down there I shot a dog with one barrel of the pistol, and then I went back to Mr. Joseph Davis store and bought two more cartridges and replaced the empty shell with a new cartridge. I did this because I wanted all five barrels full when I started to shoot myself.

I then went to the house of my uncle Mr. Leon Messick and went around the house to the back porch. I was crying and my uncle's wife came out to me and said, "Elmer, Katie is on the front porch, do you want to see here?" I said yes. Katie came around there and sat down on the bench on my left side. She put her hand on my shoulder and laid her head against mine and asked me what was the matter. We were both crying and I told her that I would not be living but a short while longer and before I left I wanted to see here. Katie said I should not talk so and we had several minutes conversation in which she told me she loved me and would never marry any other man but me.

I was then crying very hard and so was she. About this time two children of my relatives came around where we were and they were playing. I got up went to the back porch, got some mint candy and gave them and asked them to go away, which they did. About this time my uncle's wife came around and said that Mrs. Adkins was coming toward the house. Katie said, "let her come, I won't move". We were then sitting close together, with my left arm around her neck and her right hand on my shoulder. Our faces were close together, my head being partly down on her shoulder. I then told her again that I would not be living in one hour and then said "she wanted to go before I went " and I immediately pulled the pistol from my pocket and shot five times at our heads, without stopping. The first two bullets must have struck Katie, as she loosed her hand from my shoulder and started to fall backwards, but I kept on firing and the other three bullets struck my ear. We both fell from the bench. I threw the pistol in front of me after the shooting and started to run across the yard. I fell and then crawled some distance when I became unconscious. There had never been any quarrel between us. I loved her very much and could not stand being separated from her. I did not start out to kill her. I started out to kill myself and wanted to die in her arms or near her."

Murderer's Story Is Doubted

Heath would give no other version of the awful affair. When asked what were his thoughts when he borrowed the pistol, he only said to kill himself and if he had not been watched he would have killed himself at the pond and the young lady would now be living.. He said he was perfectly sober, that he was not a drinking man, although he had drank some beer at Wilmington, Friday night, but not enough to make him drunk. His mind seemed to be clear during the interview although he complained of being cold and had several shivering spells.

The story seems to be doubted by a great many persons who are of the opinion that Heath had made every preparation to kill the young lady. It seems that his great anxiety to kill himself was something of a fake, as he had ample time and opportunity to have done so before he met the young lady and he had been so anxious; then again the wounds he inflected upon himself ware of so slight a nature that they almost seem to have been cautiously measured before he shot himself.

Heath Carried To Snow Hill

Sunday towards evening, a considerable crow had gathered in the vicinity of the jail and Court House and as the night grew older the crowd increased and it looked threatening for the prisoner. Sheriff Fooks put the light out in the jail early and all was darkness and quiet inside.. About ten o'clock Mayor Disharoon and Judge Holland held a consultation and it was decided that it would be safer to spirit Heath out of Salisbury and if possible get him in the Snow Hill Jail. A talk was had with Sheriff Fooks and he was instructed to have the prisoner handcuffed and dressed, ready for a moment's action. At 10:30 the crowd around the jail had somewhat thinned out, the rendezvous having been changed to another section of the city and a double team drove hastily to the jail yard and up to the jail door. The door opened and an object was thrown into the carriage and in less time that it takes to write it the horses were going at a dead run down Division street toward the southern limits of the city . The whole affair was skillfully planned and executed and the removal of the prisoner to Snow Hill no doubt saved him from the ands of Judge Lynch and saved the community from the awful stigma of mob law.

Verdict of Jury Of Inquest

The jury of inquest held a meeting at the office of Wm. A. Trader Monday morning and examined several witnesses in the murder case. The jury consisted of H. L. Brewington, foreman; E.W. Adkins, J. H. Tomlinson, Wm. J. Holloway, Naaman P. Turner, B. T. Callaway, Wm. W. White, Wm. Records, Jackson Matthews, Levin I. Tindall, John H. Spence and Eben Hearn. The witnesses examined were Leon H. Messick, his wife Mrs. Beulah Messick, Mrs. Luther Messick and Mrs. Linwood Messick. The testimony of the four witnesses was substantially the same. The chief witness, Mrs. Beulah Messick, testified that all the above parties were sitting on the front porch of her home, Saturday evening, seven o'clock, when Miss Katie Adkins came to the house and took a seat on the front porch with them. About a half hour later as they were all sitting on the porch, Elmer Heath came to the house, and without addressing any of the company went to the rear of the house. Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Messick said she went to the back porch to give a child a drink of water and while there Heath told her he wanted to speak to Katie. Mrs. Messick went to the front porch and remarked to the entire company that Heath has asked to see Katie. Katie at once left the porch and went to the rear of the house. No conversation was heard by those on the front porch between the parties and the first intimation they had of trouble was the reports of the pistol. Immediately after the reports. Leon Messick wen to the rear of the house and found that Miss Adkins had been shot. On his return to the front porch Mr. Messick met the three ladies going to the rear of the house and told them what had happened and they all turned back without having seen the body. The witness testified that she visited the home of Katie Adkins about six o'clock Saturday evening but did not see Katie alone.

The Restoration Movement in Illinois: McDonough County

In 1832 the first Christian Church was organized in McDonough County at a point about one and a half miles north of Blandinsville, known as the Liberty Christian Church. Here the people of two pioneer settlements met to worship, the one known as the Jobe settlement a few miles to the south, and the other a few miles to the north, composed of a number of families, among whom were the Brightwells, Bradshaws, Cyruses and Hustons. In 1842 the town of Blandinsville was laid out and platted. In 1849 Liberty was abandoned as a meeting-place and the church of Blandinsville was organized by the members of the Jobe settlement. And about the same time the members of the north settlement organized the Bedford Church.

Hitch of Kent, WA in 1997: "Kenneth Livingston Hitch married Myrtle (Tillie) Trene Asplund September 16, 1932 in Everett, WA. Tillie was born in Arlington, WA February 12, 1915. Friends introduced them and their relationship developed into a courtship and marriage. Ken was the most carefree, fun loving, and adventurous of the Hitch siblings. He became a journeyman electrician and worked with his father on many jobs. He worked for various electrical contractors in the Everett area. They made their home in Everett and were building a home in the South Everett area at the time of Ken's death. Ken was killed in an automobile accident in the North Seattle area January 10, 1941. He was cremated and his ashes were buried with his son.

Tillie's brother, Curley, moved in with them and they finished the house. Tillie and Virginia lived there until Virginia went away to college in Bellingham. Besides being a Homemaker Tillie worked as a waitress and bartender in the Everett area. In later years she has become very involved in craft work and her great grandchildren along with her daughter."

Kenneth Hitch's obituary was in the "Tacoma (WA) News Tribune" on January 14, 1941 (page 13):

General Notes: The following is from a family history sent to me by Stephen J. Hitch of Kent, WA in 1997: "Harvey Carol Hitch married Marie Martha Zaat in Everett, WA July 13, 1935. Marie was born Dec. 25, 1915 in Sunnydale, WA. They met at Everett High School when they were both students. After Harve graduated he and Marie sent notes back and forth through Harve's sister, Joyce. Harve worked at Robinson's Lumber Mill in Everett while attending high school and he also served in the Washington National Guard.

After graduating from high school he enlisted in the Army and made it his career. Harve was the only Hitch sibling with musical talent. He somehow managed to get a used mandolin and taught himself how to play. He later replaced his first instrument with a newer model. At family gatherings we often had sing alongs. Uncle John played the guitar, Bus the violin, Harve the mandolin and Wayne (Bus' brother) played the harmonica and the bones. Their music made the gatherings more festive. Their first home was on Peck's Drive in South Everett but Harve's army career moved them across the country. When Harve was on overseas duty his family would be waiting in the Everett or Seattle area. They sold their Everett home and bought a larger home on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. Several family gatherings were held in that home and also their next home in the Greenwood area in North Seattle. This was their last family home.

In 1948, Harve had a cancer operation on his stomach and bladder. In the fall of 1957 the cancer flared up again affecting his liver. He died August 1, 1958 and is buried at Fort Lawton in North Seattle.

Marie was a Homemaker, but after Harve passed away she worked in the Ballard High School Cafeteria. Marie died December 3, 1990 and is buried at Fort Lawton in North Seattle."

General Notes: The following article is from "The Allen Historian" of August 2000

Recollections of the Hitch Family of Allen, by H. Atwood Hitch (written January 15, 1972)

Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch (b. 7-28-1873; d. 4-15-1946) and Edith Ellen Bounds (b. 7-12-1875; d. 3-7-1945) Married on December 18, 1895.

I, Henry Atwood Hitch, was born November 19, 1896, about one mile from Allen, MD at the home of my Grandfather and Grandmother, Robert John (Jack) Hitch (b. 11-17-1833; d. 4-28-1901) and his wife, the former Sarah Amanda Phoebus (b. 10-24-1836; d. 12-25-1904).

Allen, Maryland was originally known as Upper Trappe. The name Allen came from the name of the first postmaster, Joseph Allen. His wife was the former Mary Phoebus, sister of Amanda Phoebus.

When I was a few months old, my parents went to live on the north side of the Wicomico River, a distance of about two miles from Salisbury, Maryland. My father was a tenant farmer on a farm known as "Bell" Farm. The farm was located on what was called River Road, west of Salisbury, Maryland. We lived in a tenant house, which was practically on an island along the north side of the river.

When I was two years old, my parents went back to Allen and purchased a General Store, which they operated for about two years.

When I was about four years old, my father rented a farm and sold the general store. My sister Hannah was born October 27, 1898, while my parents were living here. The farm was located in Somerset County about one mile from Loretto Railroad Station and about one mile from a crossroads place located at the head of one branch of Wicomico Creek, known as "Head of the Creek". The distance from the farm north to the village of Allen, Maryland was 3 1/4 miles and south to Princess Anne, Maryland was 3 1/2 miles. The farm was owned by Judge Lore, who lived in Wilmington, DE. The "Head of the Creek" was favored with one general store, two houses, and one single room school house. Seven grades were taught there. In September, 1901, at the age of five years and ten months, I started school at the one room school at the "Head of the Creek". During the period of November 19, 1896 to the summer of 1901, my Grandfather Hitch had purchased a small place near the Allen School. In 1901 my Grandfather Hitch died at the age of 69. Robert John (Jack) Hitch was born May 7, 1901.

About 1902, my father purchased my Grandfather's place near the Allen School from his estate. During the next two years my Father farmed this small place in addition to running the Grist Mill at Allen. This was the worst mistake he ever made in my opinion. Only fifteen acres of land and the quality of soil was such that it was impossible to be at all productive. My parents had prospered well while living on Judge Lore's farm. During these 2 years, the original house burned to the ground and a new house had to be built. There was no insurance on the house and these two years proved to be very difficult financial times. Perhaps the most trying period for my father and mother in their lifetime.

In the summer of 1904, Howard Chandler Christy, the artist, bought a farm on Wicomico Creek in Somerset County 2 1/2 miles from the "Head of the Creek". My father was employed to run this farm for Mr. Christy, so we moved from Allen to this farm. Once again, I was back in school at the one room schoolhouse at the "Head of the Creek". My brother Howard was born on this farm on September 7, 1905 and was named after Mr. Christy, Howard Christy Hitch.

This I remember as the period in which I enjoyed most in my life as a farm boy. This farm was a large acreage and located on the Creek. We had ducks, geese, turkey, chickens, hogs, cattle, as well as horses and mules. A new barn was constructed while we lived there. Many fond memories do I have of those days on this farm. We lived very well for farm folks. We had driving horses, buggies, a surrey with two seats. We went to the fair at Pocomoke, Maryland with two horses hitched to the surrey - in all, a period to remember. We lived there until December, 1907, when Mr. Christy sold the farm and we moved back to the place near Allen which my father had been leasing. My brother Paul Phoebus Hitch was born here February 2, 1908.

Again the struggle was on to make a living on 15 acres of nondescript land, renting land away from home, and my father was running a saw mill for Uncle Peter Bounds along with other employment, when time would permit. As a family, however, we were fortunate, as Mother was a woman of unusual resourcefulness, thrift and natural executive ability. My father was hardworking, thrifty, sober and of integrity beyond reproach. Here again the family was a unit, which was helpful for the success to earn a livelihood, as we knew as children at a young age the financial situation.

We went to school at Allen School, which was about 300 yards from our house. I went to school here through the eighth grade, but failed my final examination in May, 1911, which was no surprise to me, since I had lost so much time in the fall of 1910 and the spring of 1911 due to farm work. As I was the oldest of five children, it naturally fell my lot to carry on farm chores of which I may have been capable, thereby adding to the family income. My mother was determined that I should have some education. That, in her opinion, would be the most value to me to earn a living (other than farming). The result - I never went back to public school, but enrolled in Beacon Business College in Salisbury, Maryland in the fall of 1911.

The year 1911 was a fairly good year for farming. My father rented 15 acres of land for $50 cash rent. We planted the entire acreage in tomatoes and had an excellent crop. The price received was only 15 cents per 5/8 bushell, but a crop of tomatoes was so unusual we had more cash money than usual when fall came. This resulted in my starting to Business College in September, 1911. In order to get to Salisbury, my parents bought me a bicycle, as the distance from Allen to Salisbury was seven and one-half miles, which distance I covered each school day. I only missed three days due to snow. The bicycle cost $29.50 and the make was a "Kennelworth".

For some time I had been trying to convince my father that he should sell the 15 acres of nondescript land and buy a larger farm with better quality land. He found such a place in summer, 1912, which was one mile west of Allen on the road to Collins Wharf, a boat landing for the BC & ARR steamers plying the waters between Salisbury and Baltimore, Maryland. The BC & ARR stood for Baltimore Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad Company. He sold the old 15 acre place, which was originally my Grandfather's home, and purchased this new farm. The new farm did not have much of a house - two rooms up and two rooms down. But this farm had quite a quantity of pine timber, which had much to do with my father buying it.

His calculation of the timber value was equal to the value of the purchase price. His knowledge of timber value was a result of working with Uncle Peter Bounds in the saw mill business. The timber made into lumber resulted in the house being enlarged by adding two rooms down and two rooms upstairs. Not a bad country home. The timber deal worked out very well from a financial standpoint. Most of it was worked for mine timbers for use in anthracite mines in Pennsylvania. He received $3.00 per ton for the timber. We hauled them on wagons to Fruitland, Maryland, a distance of five miles, where they were loaded in coal cars for shipment. The quality of land was much improvement over the former place.

The fall of 1912 found me back at Beacon Business College, as I had not completed the necessary studies to receive a diploma. During this time I rode my bike 8 1/2 miles each morning and evening from our new home to Salisbury, Maryland, one mile of which was dirt road.

The spring of 1913 found me back on the farm, having received a diploma from Beacon Business College. I spent the summer on the farm as well as helping in the handling of the mine timber operations. The fall of 1913, with farming operations about over for the year and the mine timber operations completed as far as timber on this farm, it was a time for less push and hard work. My mother never wanted me to try to make a living on the farm, and yet at heart I was a farmer. But events do happen to change our whole future.

My mother had a brother, my Uncle Carroll Bounds, who was working on the Pennsylvania Railroad passenger steamer from Cape Charles, Virginia to Norfolk, Virginia. He wrote and said he had a job for me on the boat. Of course my mother was anxious that I take the job. But here again, a farmer at heart and being part of a close-knit family, I did not want to go. But I did. It was September, 1913 and I would be 18 years old on November 19. Somehow, I had never grown as some 18 year olds did. I weighed only 108 pounds and had never worn long trousers due to lack of size and height. My mother and I went to Salisbury and bought a suit with long trousers. As I remember they had to cut off about 12 inches from the pants. Not a perfect fit to say the least. But I could not go out in the world to assume a position as a grown up wearing short trousers. The suit cost $14.50. I left Salisbury on the train for Cape Charles, Virginia, to go out into the world to earn a livelihood. Before I reached Pocomoke, Maryland, a distance of 15 miles, I found myself sitting in that railroad coach with tears rolling down my cheeks. Again, I suppose that family unity came to the front.

In the Federal Census of 1920, H. Atwood Hitch and his brother are listed as employees on the U.S.S. Maryland in Norfolk, Norfolk County, Virginia as follows: - H. Atwood Hitch, age 23, born in MD - Robert J. Hitch, age 18, born in MD.

Thornton Hitch's Reflections, by Casey Parsons

Editor's Note: Casey interviewed Thornton Hitch for this article on February 21, 2000.

Thornton Phoebus Hitch is the eldest son of Beverly Tubman Hitch and Laura Richardson Hitch. Another son, Richard, born in 1915, served in the U.S. Navy as an electrician aboard a submarine during World War II and was lost in 1944, when his ship, the U.S.S. Grayback was lost in the Pacific. The Navy reported that the Grayback was caught on the surface and sunk as it was returning from a long patrol in the war zone. A third son, Donald, was born in 1920 and lives in Florida.

Thornton was named for Captain Thornton Phoebus, a ship captain from Oriole, who helped transport many immigrants to America from the old country. Thornton believes that his family came from England, and the name was originally spelled "Hytch".

He lives today near the pond along Wicomico Creek in Somerset County, the same site on which his family lived when he was born in January, 1914. His wife, Lelia, died in 1981. His garage and workshop contain parts of the old kitchen used by the Hitch family before they moved to the larger house across the pond built by Mr. Peter Malone in 1920.

Thorton's earliest memories are of his father working as a mail carrier. Beverly picked up the mail from Eden when the train came in and delivered it to homes around the countryside. He also operated the old mill on the creek for many years, employing a part-time mill operator as he delivered the mail. Mr. Hitch attached an engine house to the south side of the mill to furnish auxiliary power to the mill wheel when the water was low. Thornton recalls moving the new engine in for the initial setup. Ralph Bounds, a young local mechanic, helped to slide the new engine along, inch by inch, on rollers and skids. Thornton, a small child at the time, had his fingers mashed during the installation.

Thornton recalls that the water power was used to turn a turbine which rotated the top stone as the bottom stone remained stationary. There was a groove cut in the bottom stone which funneled the corn meal or flour to a conveyor and then to a bag. In those days, at locations where there was no water power available, mules were used to turn the grinding stones. In addition to the grist mill, Thornton also remembers an up-and-down sawmill, which was used to cut sills for houses. The former Hitch house, standing today by the pond, where the family moved in 1920, has 12" X 12" hand-hewn sills, Thornton said.

Mary G. Payne (b. 1902) remembers playing in the barn next to the old mill as a little girl with her friends amidst the grain which was stored there, probably after being taken as payment for grinding, or perhaps bought and sold as needed in the community. Mary's father, Robert Lee Griffith, worked in the blacksmith shop attached to the north side of the mill. He made and repaired tools, shod horses and did all of the things the smith was asked to do in those days. He probably worked mostly in the shop, but sometimes took his tools to the farm if required.

The mill dam washed out in 1918, and the mill stopped after running since at least 1763. A low dam was rebuilt about fifty yards north of the old mill site. The dam was raised to a higher level in 1930 by the Maryland State Highway Department in order to restore the former beauty of the pond. Some say the old mill was dismantled by Ralph Bounds and Bill Costen and the boards used elsewhere, partly to build the Ralph Bounds garage just south of the pond. Perry Horsman also worked in the blacksmith shop by the mill, Thornton says, and when the mill closed, the shop was relocated across the stream near the old post office, and Horsman continued to work there. The site is probably where the brick house stands today, formerly part of the Beverly Hitch lot, but sold to Charlie Bishop in the early fifties to build a house. It is unclear whether the old shop was moved or a new one constructed.

Thornton's mother, Laura Lee Richardson Hitch (1888-1970) was from Church Creek in Dorchester County. She graduated from Towson College and became a teacher. Her first assignments were to schools in Wicomico County, where she met Beverly and later married him. Beverly lived with an aunt in the old house by the creek in Somerset County before he married Laura. One of the schools in which Laura taught was Trinity, which is still standing today as a dwelling.

The Allen School where Thornton attended had seven grades being taught in one room by Miss Mildred Whayland. Formerly, under Squire Price, who taught in Allen for 33 years (1860-1893), there were two rooms. When Thornton finished his schooling at Allen, he rode the bus to Upton Street in Salisbury. The bus was a long, limo-type vehicle driven by Hamp Murray and transported from ten to fifteen people. He moved to the new high school on East Main Street in his senior year and graduated from there.

Out of high school, he helped his father on the farm for a while, his father having retired from the mail job. Together they devised a sprayer to destroy the Mexican bean beetle. They then experimented with the new sprayer to determine the best time for spraying when the maximum number of beetles were exposed. Thornton drove a truck for Joe Reading for a while, and while traveling to Cleveland, Ohio, he saw a sign saying: "Learn to weld; free of charge!" Thornton stopped long enough to learn welding before returning to Maryland. Later, he would make good use of his welding skills.

Thornton recalls trucks and wagons loaded with beans lined up as far as the church on the way to the auction block north of the store in Allen. As many as twenty truckloads a day went out of Allen. First came the string bean crop, followed by the Fordhook butter beans. (George Cordry's history states that "in the early 1900's, as many as 10 to 12 thousand bushels of string beans were sold at the market in Allen" and that the market was owned and operated by the late Jesse M. Pollitt.) The buyers were Jesse Pollitt, Kirb Gunby, and a man named Holloway. Harvey Mariner was the auctioneer and lived on the Mariner farm on Collins Wharf Road where Charlie Habilston lives today. (The old house burned down many years ago). Arlie Moore was the first farmer to grow string beans commercially, and Thornton recalls, Mr. Moore also usually had the earliest crops of the season.

Some of the beans and other vegetables were transported to Baltimore by the Victor Lynn boat which left Salisbury in the afternoon, arriving in the city for the early morning produce market. The boat stopped at Collins Wharf about four o'clock in the afternoon. Al Wooten, Lynn's father, started the Victor Lynn Lines in the 1920's, Thornton recalls, and changed the power from steam to gasoline. The "Henrietta Francis" was the name of the first boat, which looked like a tug boat.

Thornton remembers one day when his father asked him and his brother Richard to take a few baskets of peppers to Collins Wharf in time for the afternoon boat shipment. When they got to the point near the intersection of Collins Wharf Road and Allen Road, a bolt came out of the harness, causing the shaft to fall down around the horses's legs each time he took a step. The horse was soon running headlong down the main street of Allen. As they raced past the Messick place, Fred Messick ran out to try to help. He could only grasp hold of the back of the wagon as it sped past, dragging him along until his knees were scraped bare and bruised through his trousers before he could let go. Thornton and Richard were finally able to control the horse by reining him in one direction, which happened to be the home of Laura Twilley, who lived where the Lentz family later lived. Thornton says the horse ran all the way up to the side door as if to enter the house. When Mrs. Twilley came to the door, she looked into the face of a scared, snorting, wild-eyed horse, a sight she long remembered.

Thornton remembers that the Gilbert Disharoon family once lived just west of the Community Hall where Fred Dennis lives today. The Disharoon House burned about 1925, and Olin Dennis helped get things out of the house during the fire. It is remembered that Olin brought the mattress down the stairs and threw a china closet out the window!

Thornton traveled as a young man, going abroad twice aboard ships out of New York. The first trip carried him through the Strait of Gibraltar, into the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal to the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and Ceylon. While in India, he visited the Taj Mahal, the 17th century mausoleum in Agra, India. On this trip he also visited Alexandria, Egypt. His second voyage took him through the Panama Canal where his motor ship developed engine trouble. After delays in getting to Los Angeles for repairs, he traveled to Pearl Harbor, Oahu, to deliver seven mooring buoys which were in use there when the Japanese attacked the U.S. Fleet on December 7,1941.

After he married Lelia Bozman, he got a job welding at the Bethlehem Steel Company located on Key Highway in Baltimore where they lived for a while. Before the war, he helped to manufacture gun carriages for an arsenal in Watertown, N.Y. He helped to raise a second deck on the old Esso Tanker that used to come to Salisbury and tie up in the east end of the Wicomico River and pump oil across Route 13 to storage tanks and truck tankers. When the war started, he helped to build the first Liberty Ship at Bethlehem Steel Co. He also worked for a while before the war at the Maryland Drydock Company where he repaired ships damaged by German submarines lurking close to our coastline. Some of these ships, Thornton says, had been sunk and recovered. The amount of shipping thus sunk and damaged was enormous.

Richard Hitch returned home from the war, Thornton recalls, late in 1943, on leave entitled him after his long patrols in the far east. The Navy needed an electrician, however, to fill the compliment of the submarine U.S.S. Grayback and Richard volunteered to return earlier than he had planned. The Navy Department reports that the Grayback with eighty men aboard was lost in combat on February 27, 1944 in the East China Sea. A few years ago, Thornton received a letter from the relatives of one of the other crew members that the Navy thought that the ship, upon returning from a long combat patrol, was caught on the surface and sunk. Richard's grave marker is in the Allen Cemetery near the other members of the family.

Just to the south and west of Thornton's garden behind his house on Wicomico Creek stands a walnut tree about thirty inches in diameter. The tree, Thornton says, marks the exact spot where an old ice house stood years before he was born. The house was set in the side of a sharp rise in the ground and closed in to cover the huge chunks of ice, some of which were cut from the pond seventeen inches, up to twenty-four inches thick. The chunks of ice were covered over with sawdust to keep the air away, and the sawdust brushed back to chip ice for making ice cream and cooling lemonade. The ice house, he recalls, wasn't much of a house at all, but a sort of cave covered over with boards and filled with sawdust. Eventually, the ice house faded out and the walnut tree grew over the spot.

Thornton recalls that the Allen Pond used to freeze over for a period of about three months each year to a depth of a foot to two feet. The young people skated mornings and evenings and weekends. Fred Messick writes about skating parties beside the pond in the later part of the nineteenth century, when crowds of two to three hundred people gathered to skate and watch and enjoy food and drinks. The writer remembers Thornton skating gracefully back and forth across the pond, but it's been a long time. Miss Lillian Malone recalls the late Joseph Smith as a very graceful skater in his time. We tried to fix a time when the last real skating occurred on the pond, and it was probably in the late fifties or early sixties. The weather pattern has certainly changed!

The first generation of Hitches in Allen of which we have record was the family of Robert J. Hitch (1810-1832) and his wife, Mary M. (1816-1834). Robert J., grandfather of Beverly Hitch, and great grandfather of Thornton, was left on a schooner anchored off Whitehaven in the Wicomico River, all alone, to guard the ship's contents. He became tired of waiting for his rowdy shipmates, so he jumped overboard to swim ashore and drowned in the attempt. Mary gave birth to R. J. in 1833. (Courtesy of Henry Hitch, from the family Bible).

Robert John Hitch (1833-1901) married Sarah Amanda Phoebus Hitch (1836-1904) on January 11, 1865. They had four children: Mary Louise Hitch (1868-1914), Kirby Atwood Wilson Hitch (1865-1925), Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch (1873-1946), and Beverly Tubman Hitch (1876-1960). Mary Louise married Earnest Winfield Whayland (1866-1913). They had one child, Ada May Whayland. Kirby Atwood Wilson Hitch married Mary Eleanor Bothurn in 1892. They had seven children: Elizabeth Amanda, Alexine Wilson, Nettie May, Iva, George Thomas, Kirby Wilson, and Marguerite Eleanor. Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch married Edith E. Bounds in 1895 in Wicomico County. They had six children: Henry Atwood Hitch, Hanna E. Hitch, Robert John (Jack) Hitch, Howard Christy Hitch, Paul Phoebus Hitch, and Edith Amanda Hitch. Henry Atwood Hitch (1896-1973) married Rosalie Harrell in 1920. They had two children: Henry Atwood, Jr., and Oliver Lee Hitch. Rosalie died in 1952. Henry Atwood married Blanche Ramey Hazelgrove, who died in 1983.

Thornton Phoebus Hitch (1914-) married Lelia Bozman (1919-1981). They had two children: Thornton Scott Hitch and Linda Jean. Thornton Scott married Mary Ellen Malone and they have one child, Kimberly Ellen Hitch, who married Jay Ragains. The Ragains have one child, Alex, bom in 1991. Linda Jean Hitch married Preston Waller and they have one son, Jay, a graduate engineer who works for the North Carolina Power Company.

Thornton Phoebus is the last Hitch living in the Allen area, on the site occupied by his father, Beverly, about one hundred years ago. Nearby, the large grinding stones stand alone and still, proudly marking the spot where once stood the bustling old mills, sawing and grinding out the history of the village of Allen.

Thornton married Leila Thistle Bozman, daughter of Winfield Scott Bozman and Manie A. (?), on 4 Jan 1941 in Oriole, Somerset Co., MD.¹⁹¹ Leila was born in Dec 1919 in Wicomico Co., MD,^{⁵⁹⁸³^,5984^,5985^,5986} died in 1981 in Wicomico Co., MD^⁵⁹⁸⁴ at age 62, and was buried in 1981 in Allen Church Cemetery, Allen, Wicomico Co., MD.

+ 3590 F ii. Linda Jean Hitch was born on 18 Jan 1948 in Salisbury, Wicomico Co., MD.^³¹⁷⁵

Thornton next married Mildred Frances Collier ⁵⁹⁸³ on 11 Jan 1983 in Crisfield, Somerset Co., MD.¹⁹¹ Mildred was born in 1918 in MD.^⁵⁹⁸⁸

2697. Richard Beverly Hitch was born on 7 Jul 1916 in Somerset Co., MD^{⁷^,3175^,4916} and died on 26 Feb 1944 aboard The Submarine Grayback At Sea.^⁴⁹¹⁷ at age 27.

General Notes: Donald Lee Hitch Jr. of Schaumburg, Illinois reports that Richard B. Hitch was lost at sea (in the Pacific Ocean) aboard a submarine in World War II. Research shows that Richard died aboard the submarine, Grayback (SS-208) when it was lost in 1944. The following history is from "Dictionary of American Fighting Ships", 1968, Navy Department, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Naval History Division, Washington, DC and US NAVAL SUBMARINE INFORMATION BOOK - J. Christley

USS GRAYBACK I (SS-208), cpl. 4 officers - 54 enlisted men; cl. GAR, Keel laid by the Electric Boat Co., Groton, CT. 3 April 1940; Launched 31 January 1941; Sponsored by Mrs. Wilson Brown; Commissioned 30 June 1941; Lt. Willard A. Saunders in command. Attached to the Atlantic Fleet GRAYBACK conducted her shakedown cruise in Long Island Sound out of Newport, New London, and New York. In company with GRAMPUS (SS207) she departed New London 8 September for patrol duty in the Caribbean and Chesapeake Bay; then arrived Portsmouth, N.H., 30 November for overhaul. With America's entry into the war GRAYBACK sailed for Pearl Harbor 8 February. There she joined the submarine fleet which was to wreak such havoc on the vital shipping lanes of the Japanese Empire.

GRAYBACK's first war patrol from 15 February to 10 April took her along the coast of Saipan and Guam. There she participated in a deadly 4-day game of hide-and-seek with an enemy submarine; the enemy I-boat fired two torpedoes at GRAYBACK on the morning of 22 February, then continued to trail her across the Pacific. GRAYBACK spotted the enemy conning tower a couple of times, and the Japanese ship broached once; but the GRAYBACK could not get into position to attack. After 4 nerve-wracking days, GRAYBACK shook the other sub and continued on patrol. First blood for her came on 17 March as she sank a 3,291-ton cargo ship off Port Lloyd.

GRAYBACK's second war patrol met with a dearth of targets although she even took the unusual and risky measure of patrolling surfaced during the day. On 22 June she arrived Fremantle, Australia, which was to remain her home base for most of the war. Her third and fourth war patrols, in the South China Sea and St. George's Passage were equally frustrating as GRAYBACK was hampered by bright moonlight, shallow and treacherous water, and enemy patrol craft. Despite these hazards, she damaged several freighters and also got in a shot at another Japanese submarine. However, the very presence of GRAYBACK and her sister ships in these waters-the threat they presented to shipping and the number of enemy escorts they tied up-was an important factor in the successful conclusion of the Guadalcanal campaign, America's first offensive campaign in the Pacific war.

The fifth war patrol began as GRAYBACK sailed from Australia 7 December 1942. Only a week out of port, Pharmacist's Mate Harry B. Roby was called upon to perform an emergency appendectomy, the second to be done on a patrolling submarine. With GRAYBACK running silent and steady a hundred feet beneath the surface, the untutored Roby successfully removed the infected appendix, and his patient was back standing watch by the end of the patrol. Then 20 December, GRAYBACK enjoyed "a Jap appetizer for Christmas dinner," as she battle surfaced to sink four landing barges with her deck guns. Four days later she was again fired on by an enemy submarine but maneuvered to avoid the torpedoes. On 3 January 1943 she gained her revenge by sending to the bottom I-18 one of 25 Japanese submarines chalked up by the Pacific submarines.

On 5 January GRAYBACK served as beacon ship for the bombardment of Munda Bay and also indulged in some hair-raising rescue work. Lying off Munda early in the morning of 5 January, she received word that six survivors of a crashed B-2 were holed up on the island. GRAYBACK sent ashore two men, then submerged at dawn to avoid enemy aircraft. The submariners located the downed aviators, three of whom were inured, and hid out with them in the jungle. As night fell, GRAYBACK surfaced offshore and by coded light signals directed the small boat "home safe" with the rescued aviators. For this episode skipper Edward C. Stephan received the Navy Cross.

GRAYBACK continued on patrol, torpedoing and damaging several Japanese ships. On 17 January she attacked a destroyer escorting a large maru, hoping to disable the escort and then sink the freighter with her deck guns. However, the destroyer evaded the torpedoes and dropped 19 depth charges on GRAYBACK. One blew a gasket on a manhole cover, and the submarine, leaking seriously, was ordered back to Brisbane where she arrived 23 February.

On her sixth war patrol from 16 February to 4 April, GRAYBACK again had a run of bad luck and returned empty-handed from the Bismarck-Solomons area. Her newly installed SJ radar had failed to function; and although she had taken several shots at marus, none were sunk. The seventh patrol was more successful. Departing Brisbane 25 April, GRAYBACK intercepted a convoy whose position had been radioed to her by ALBACORE (SS218) 11 May. In a night surface attack GRAYBACK fired a spread of six torpedoes at the seven freighters and their three escorts. The three escorts charged and she had to go deep to elude the attacking enemy. She was credited with the sinking of cargo ship Yodogawa Maru. On 16 May she torpedoed and seriously damaged a destroyer. The following day GRAYBACK intercepted four marus with one escort and sank freighter England Maru and damaged two others before she was forced to dive. She arrived Pearl Harbor 30 May, then proceeded to San Francisco for a much needed overhaul.

Arriving Pearl Harbor 12 September, GRAYBACK prepared for her eighth war patrol. Sailing 26 September with SHAD (SS235), she rendezvoused with CERO (SS225) at Midway to form the first of the Submarine Force's highly successful wolfpacks. The three submarines under Captain C. B. Momsen in CERO, cruised the China Sea and returned to base with claims of 38,000 tons sunk and 3,300 damaged. GRAYBACK accounted for two ships, a passenger-cargo vessel torpedoed 14 October and a former light cruiser, Awata Maru, torpedoed after an end-around run on a fast convoy 22 October. Wolfpack tactics came into play 2 October as GRAYBACK closed a convoy already attacked by SHAD and administered the coup de grace to a 9,000 ton transport listing from two of SHAD's torpedoes. The submarines had now expended all torpedoes, and on 10 November they returned to Midway.

With almost a quarter of her crew untested in battle GRAYBACK departed Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea 2 December for her ninth war patrol. Within 5 days of her first contact with Japanese ships, she had expended all her torpedoes in a brilliant series of attacks which netted four ships for a total of over 10,000 tons. On the night of 18 to 19 December GRAYBACK wreaked havoc on a convoy of four freighters and three escorts. She sent freighter Gyokurei Maru and escort Numakaze to the bottom and damaged several others in surface attack. Two nights later, 20 to 21 December, she spotted another convoy of six ships; and, after an end-around run she fired a spread of nine torpedoes into the heart of the Japanese formation. This first attack sunk one freighter and damaged another before GRAYBACK dived to elude depth charges. Three hours later she surfaced and sank a second freighter. After an unsuccessful attack the following night had exhausted her torpedo supply, GRAYBACK headed home. Undaunted by lack of torpedoes, the submarine battled surfaced 27 December and sank a good-sized fishing boat with deck guns before reaching Pearl Harbor 4 January 1944.

GRAYBACK's tenth patrol, her most successful in terms of tonnage sunk, was also to be her last. She sailed from Pearl Harbor 28 January 1944, for the East China Sea. On 24 February GRAYBACK radioed that she had sunk two cargo ships 19 February and had damaged two others. On 25 February she transmitted her second and final report. That morning she had sunk tanker Toshin Maru and severely damaged another. With only two torpedoes remaining, she was ordered home from patrol. Due to reach Midway on 7 March, GRAYBACK did not arrive. On 30 March ComSubPac reluctantly listed her as missing and presumed lost with all hands.

From captured Japanese records the gallant submarine's last few days can be pieced together. Heading home through the East China Sea, on 27 February GRAYBACK used her last two torpedoes to sink the freighter Ceylon Maru. That same day, a Japanese carrier-based plane spotted a submarine on the surface in the East China Sea and attacked. According to Japanese reports the submarine "exploded and sank immediately," but antisubmarine craft were called in to depth-charge the area, clearly marked by a trail of air bubbles, until at last a heavy oil slick swelled to the surface. GRAYBACK had ended her last patrol, one which cost the enemy some 21,594 tons of shipping.

The fighting submarine's career, so tragically ended, had been an illustrious one. GRAYBACK ranked 20th among all submarines in total tonnage sunk with 63,835 tons and 24th in number of ships sunk with 14. Submarine and crew had received two Navy Unit Commendations for their 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th war patrols. GRAYBACK received eight battle stars for World War II service.

From "The Daily News," Jacksonville, NC Saturday, March 20, 1999 New River's magic part of local legacy

To the editor:

Few people know about Buzzard Island. It's unusual because it floats. Our favorite place to swim was where Fisherman's Wharf is now located, and we could look out across the river and see Buzzard Island.

If a new kid came to swim with us, we would ask him to guess why the buzzards flew over Buzzard Island. The answer: Because they couldn't fly under it.

But then the conversation got serious, and we'd tell stories that Buzzard Island would sometimes float too far up the river and Mr. Durant Hitch would hook a tow rope onto the island and tow it back down the river. We thought that Mr. Hitch knew a lot about boats to be able to do something like that. Maybe it was some sort of river magic. It was a great story, but alas as I grew older, I realized that the story was not true. Boating and swimming were still a lot of fun, but some of the magic of the river disappeared. That's part of growing up.

After all of these years, many things have changed. No one swims across the way from Buzzard Island, but we do have Fisherman's Wharf. The Jacksonville Host Lions Club meets there every Thursday. I usually sit by Hederick Aman, who is 92 years old. He has lived in Jacksonville for many years. One day I told him the story about Buzzard Island. He had heard it many times before.

During the conversation, he gave me some information that added a new dimension to an old story. Buzzard Island is a mat of tangled roots and vegetation that is like a piece of sandwich bread resting upon some gooey mud. According to Hederick, there was a big storm many years ago, and part of Buzzard Island broke loose and drifted down the river until it lodged against the bridge. Someone (it may have been Mr. Hitch) did actually use a boat to tow this debris away. This information shows that many folklore stories have some foundation of truth.

There is some river magic. Real people can do things to clean up our river. We can leave a legacy for future generations. What kind of story will it be?

General Notes: George Carroll Hitch was born on Friday the 13th in August 1908 which, by his own account was a stormy and gloomy day. However, while the day of his birth may have been gloomy, his life was quite the opposite. He was known and loved by many as a sincere, talkative man who lived a simple life free of many worries.

He lived his whole life on St. Lukes Rd. just outside of Fruitland, Maryland in south-central Wicomico County. He was born and grew up on the 60-acre (+ or -) Hitch farm two miles south and east of town. The farmhouse was built circa 1905 by his father using native timbers from the land and old iron wedge nails popular at the time. In 1964, he moved "across the field" to the adjacent farm (about 23 acres) at the corner of St. Lukes and Milton Mill Roads where he lived until his death in 1990. This farmhouse was built circa 1900 and was torn down in 1990 and replaced by a mobile home occupied by his wife, Doris (Hamilton) Hitch, after he passed away.

While his first name was George, he was known by the name Carroll all his life. He had numerous friends and acquaintances throughout his life and was known by various titles through them. To his grandchildren and their peers, he was called "Pop-pop" while, for others, he was known as "Uncle Carroll". His physical size was somewhat diminutive standing barely 5 feet tall and weighing at most about 125-130 lbs. He had dark hair, which in later years turned white, with a medium complexion.

By trade, he was a cabinetmaker and carpenter who worked at Community Builder's saw mill located on Route 13 along the railroad tracks at the north end of Fruitland. The mill closed in the late 1970s. In the 1960s and 70s, he could be found quite often "hanging out" at the Jones & Malone (e.g., Nora Jones and Benny Malone) Texaco station on the corner of U.S. Route 13 and Main Street catching up with the local happenings with other Fruitland gentlemen over a Coca-Cola. He always amazed the author (his grandson) of the number of people he knew on a first-hand basis. Everywhere he went, he recognized someone, or was recognized himself, and would many times end up in lengthy conversations.

Carroll often related stories of himself as a young man. One of his favorites was about his first automobile. The setting was the 1920s and the advent of the Model A Ford. No one in the Salisbury area had gotten one as yet and many were on order. Carroll had placed an order for a few hundred dollars through a dealership in Salisbury to get one of new machines, however, he thought he would have a long wait given the car's popularity. Lo and behold, he received a telephone call from the dealer the next day telling him that he had gotten a Model A but the color was blue, not what he had ordered. However, he could have the car if, by Carroll's words, "Would not tell anyone where he had gotten it." As it turned out, he had gotten the first Model A in Salisbury and proudly drove it everywhere to show it off.

This was just one aspect of a man with a colorful, fun-loving and sincere personality. He loved to play the banjo and did so in an organized band with Bill Godfrey at Sandy Hill in the 50s and 60s. He could also play the fiddle and harmonica and seemed to play by ear since he could not read sheet music. Many times he would pull out the banjo and play "Comin' Round the Mountain" and other old time songs without a moment's notice. His musical inclination was quite well-known and many have said that his favorite song was that old spiritual, "Amazing Grace".

In his 60s, he would run around as if he were just one of the grandchildren. The author remembers him hitting a baseball on many occasions and bragging how he "used to play for the Yankees with Joe DiMaggio". He feared frogs and toads with a passion and would do anything to avoid them. His grandchildren, knowing this fact, would often find a toad and offer it to him. Once, when a toad was slyly placed in his shirt pocket, he stood on his head to get the thing to fall out - at 65 years of age!

A fall ritual for a number of years through the late 50s and 60s, Carroll would make apple cider. He crushed the apples in an old, homemade grinder powered by an electric motor. The apples were then put into racks lined with muslin cloth and stacked on an old press. The author can remember the sweet juice which came out of that press on those crisp autumn days. The bees would buzz around and we would drink the cool, fresh-squeezed cider, yum-yum.

NOCTURNAL THOUGHTS

The Actor:-I see the night Softly coming, Like a dark curtain Covering the stage, The stage of our emotions.

The Courtesans:-I see the night So richly velvet, Like an ebony showcase In which lies a sparkling diamond As Venus reposes suspended.

The Mother:-I see the night Covering all, Like a downy bed, A comfy bed of feathers Tucking us in.

The Pessimist:-I see the night Grim, forbidding, Like a fearful storm, A dark dismal rain, Casting out the light.
