| 6364 | From “History of Defiance County”, 1883 Harvey J. Hill was born April 5, 1818, in Orleans County, N. Y., and remained there until he was about sixteen years of age. From there he went to Pennsylvania with his parents, Thomas S. and Olive (Cole) Hill, at which place his mother died. His father died in New York. Mr. Hill then left Pennsylvania for Cleveland, Ohio, and from there came to Defiance County, arriving here in 1836. At the time of the building of the State dam across the Maumee at Independence, he assisted in getting out the timber, and helped to build the same, having had some experience in that kind of business, as he had previously' helped in the construction of a dam at Providence, in Wood County, Ohio. He settled on the farm on which he now resides, in Section 10, of Highland Township, in 1849, where he had previously made a clearing and erected a log cabin. Mr. Hill was married January 1, 1840, to Miss Jane Peterson, of Highland Township. To them were born six children, viz., Mary L., Harvey J., William L., David, Nancy D. and Hannah E. Of these, Mary L., Harvey J. and Hannah B. are dead. Mrs. Hill died January 27, 1852. Mr. Hill married, for his second wife. Miss Matilda Ann Smith; of this marriage, two daughters were born — Clara A. and Hattie F., both deceased. Those who survive of the first are all grown up, married, and live in Highland Township. Mr. Hill had two sons in the army of the late war, 1861-65. William L. was wounded in the left hand at the battle of Winchester, Va. Harvey J. enlisted in Company' B, Sixty-eighth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in October, 1861, and died in hospital, Rome, Ga., June 16, 1864. Mr. Hill's father was in the war of 1812. William L. married Libbie J. Moon. Their children are Clara J., James F., Ida, Charlotte, Henry and an infant son. At the time when Mr. Hill came to the township land was worth from 75 cents to $2.50 per acre. His neighbors were Samuel Case, Jacob Peterson, Henry Brechbill, Charles Gardner Ames, John JVI. Sanford, David Skiver, P. G. Hoeltzel, John Boucher, Jacob Kraft and Joshua Kaler Cramer. There were but few Indians here at the time Mr. Hill came to the township, they having taken their departure for their Western home in 1839. Mr. Hill speaks of an old Indian doctor by the name of Konkeyfoot, who remained here until his death in 1862. He was an herb doctor, and gave as his reason for staying, that it was the best section of country he had ever seen, to supply himself with his favorite herbs. He was quite successful in his practice, and especially in curing the bite of poisonous snakes, etc., and treated that loathsome disease, catarrh, very successfully, performing many permanent cures. He could read and write, and during his life-time distributed many of his receipts among his friends, which are yet used throughout the country with great success. He died at the Widow Egler's, on the Maumee. Mr.Hill does not claim any notoriety as a hunter, but thinks he killed the largest wildcat ever killed in this county, which measured about six feet in length. We have an account of one other killed by an old hunter and pioneer of Milford Township, J. J. Green, about the same time, its weight being eighty pounds, and its length Mr. Green gave us in this wise, that when held up so as to give its full length, was as long as he (Green) was tall, and Mr, Grcon is fully a six-sooter; but as we have not the weight of Mr. Hill's we are unable to say which was the " boss.'' | Hill, Harvey J (I26820)

| 6367 | From “The Holley Standard”, 27 Aug 1891 (fultonhistory.com) A sadly afflicted household is that of Mr. Charles Pratt, in this village. Mr. Pratt, who has been an invalid for years, has been lying in an unconscious state for some time, and his death is expected at any moment. Sunday night his son, Mr. C. A. Pratt, who was confined to the house by illness all last winter, and has almost entirely lost his eyesight, had a stroke of paralysis. His mother, and his aunt, Miss Gilbert, helped him upon the bed, and then Miss Gilbert who was worn out with her long care of the other sick members of the household, broke down under the added strain and fainted, remaining unconscious several hours. The younger Mr. Pratt's little daughter, May, had also been ill for several days, so that Mrs. Pratt, who is herself in feeble health was the only one left in the house able to move about. She attended to the four sufferers until daylight came and people began to pass, help was secured. Miss Gilbert and May are now recovering. Charlie was unconscious a good share of Monday and Monday night, but has improved some since, regaining his speech. One side of his body is still helpless from the stroke. DEATH OF MR. PRATT Since the above was in type, the expected death of mr. Pratt has occurred. He passed away quite early yesterday morning. Mr. Pratt was born in Berkshire County, Mass., March 4, 1805, and was in his 87th year at the time of his death. He came to Riga, Monroe county, in early manhood and In 1832 removed to Knowlesville, in this county, where for many years he conducted the business of tanner and currier, and in connection with it a boot and shoe business. In 1862 he became owner of the stone mill in this village, which he ran for several years, in partnership with Mr. Hill of Medina. Soon after acquiring the mill property he came here with his family to reside, and with the exception of three years spent in Ohio, has been a resident of Holley ever since. After disposing of his mill, Mr. Pratt conducted a flour and feed store here, until increasing years and feeble health forced him to give up business. He was for many years a member of the Presbyterian church in this village, and as a citizen and neighbor was highly esteemed. He leaves a widow, one daughter, Mrs. hood, of Medina, and a son, Charles A. Pratt, of this village. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at his late residence on Van Buren street, but owing to the illness of the other members of the family, it will be private. | Pratt, Charles (I987)

| 6368 | From “The Oil and Gas Journal”, 16 Apr 1920 (googlebooks.com) A letter just received in Sarnia from Mrs. Jacob Perkins at Krosno, Galicia, gives some particulars of the death of her husband, a former well known Petrolia oil man. Mr. Perkins was employed in the Galician oil fields before the war, but after the war broke out was taken with his family to Vienna, where they were held prisoners. In November, 1916, following the last retreat of the Russians from the Galician front. Mr. Perkins was taken back to Galicia under military escort to engage in the work of producing oil for Government use. The family was kept in Vienna. He continued working under great difficulties until March, 1917, when he was taken ill with influenza, dying after seven weeks' illness. Mrs. Perkins reached him two weeks before his death, and remained in the country to help wind up his affairs. Galicia is now under Polish jurisdiction. During the years of the war they could not write even to Mexico or the United states when the latter was neutral, owing the the severe censorship; letters were sent byt apparently they did not get outside of Austria. Travel is still difficult in Central Europe and conditions are awful; the people, according to the writer, are fighting one another like mad dogs. She expects to return to America shortly, with her daughter. | Perkins, Jacob (I167)

| 6393 | From A twentieth century history of Mercer County, Pennsylvania by Lewis Publishing, pg 702 Herman Melvin, one of the farmers who have assisted in the material development of that goodly portion of Mercer county known as West Salem township, was born there, on his father's old homestead, May 30, 1857, the son of Squire Lester Melvin, who was born September 15, 1831. Squire Melvin attended school until seventeen years of age, after which he was engaged in farming at home. May 31, 1855, he was united in marriage to Mary Miller, born June1, 1834, a daughter of Henry Miller and wife, of West Salem township. The name of the mother of Mrs. Melvin was Bortz.

It contained three hundred acres and was all finely improved by the various generations of Melvins. It has been in the possession of the family for over two hundred years. Herman Melvin attended the common schools of his native district until about twenty-one years of age, and continued working at home until twenty-eight, when he took possession of part of the old place, so sacred to the memory of the Melvin family. He is making the place better each year and keeps up the good reputation of the Melvins as agriculturists. Politically Mr. Melvin is a Democrat and at present is holding the office of tax collector of his township; also is constable and has served as an assessor one term. He was married January 27, 1887, to Delia Woods, born March 18, 1869, a daughter of J. W. Woods, a farmer at Maysville, Pennsylvania, whose wife's name before marriage was Clarinda Brown.
