The meteorite you describe fell at New Concord in Muskingum County (which means some pieces might well have fallen in Guernsey County, too). It is apparently still at Marietta College; here's some photos: http://209.238.151.128/newconcord.htm I will note, however, that it fell in 1860, not in 1833. It's not surprising that they are unconnected; meteor showers rarely produce meteorites (pieces that make it to the ground), and certainly not in the 103-lb range. Usually meteorites are the result of large chunks of space rock that enter the atmosphere and break apart into smaller pieces due to heat from atmospheric friction. They are usually related to the rocks in the asteroid belt, which have a different origin than comets. The latter are chunks of ice studded with dust and small pieces of rock, and when this solid material is shed and falls into our atmosphere it quickly burns up.

My understanding of this event is that it was bright enough and noisy enough to wake people up. If you were in a city or town, you would also likely have been woken by neighbors outside expressing amazement. It was therefore widely viewed. > I wonder if it had been predicted. It was both predicted and not predicted. This was an unusual intensification of what is known as the Leonid meteor shower, which occurs every year around that date (middle November). At that time astronomers still didn't have an appreciation for the source of meteors, dusty debris left by comets. If the Earth happens to pass near the comet's orbit then that debris falls into the atmosphere and burns up, resulting in meteors and occasionally meteorites (impacts). The comet in question here is Temple-Tuttle, which orbits the Sun every 33 years (which was recognized only after its 1866 appearance). This shower is therefore particularly large every 33 years, but even at that time its intensity can still vary. A similar large display, or "meteor storm", was observed in 1966, but in 1999 it was less noticeable. More info about Leonid showers and storms, including an engraving depicting the 1833 storm, can be found here: http://www.arm.ac.uk/leonid/ Having taught astronomy for many years, I couldn't resist giving a basic background on this subject. Now I'll add something that may make it relevant to family history: during this meteor storm, many people were absolutely convinced that the world was ending, and when it was still around a day later, they decided it was a sign that the world was going to end soon. This storm has therefore been noted as one of the catalysts for the Great Awakening that occurred in the 1830s, when many people turned away from the older, more traditional Protestant denominations such as Presbyterianism, Methodism, and Lutheranism and towards those newer denominations that emphasized revivalism, such as the Primitive Baptists and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). My family, the Cranstons, were Anglican (Episcopalian) in Ireland and were cofounders of Fletcher's Methodist Church in Oxford Twp. of Guernsey County. This lasted for two and maybe three generations in this country. The turning point was my 3G Grandfather John Cranston, who was born in 1811, grew up in Guernsey County, and in 1837 bought land in Monroe (now Noble) County. In 1859 his son Thomas married Sarah Hupp, whose grandfather Francis Hupp was also described as a Methodist. However, Sarah's 1916 obituary described her thusly: "Early in life and while yet in Ohio, Mrs. Cranston united with the Christian or Disciples Church. She was one of the old type of Disciples who carried their Bibles or New Testaments with them, and always ready to give a reason for their hope. The Bible was as common on her cupboard as her dishes, and she could repeat whole chapters from memory. Shortly after coming to this state [Wisconsin] she put in her membership with the Sabin [Christian] church. She was fond of divine worship and a lover of music." [Newspaper unknown] So there was clearly a religious transformation that occurred in my family not too long after this meteor storm, and perhaps directly sparked by it. P.S. According to her grandson Les Carter, Sarah Hupp Cranston also smoked a corn-cob pipe :-) S R C A cott obert ranston nderson [email protected] Admin, {C{offield,ollosky,ranston,ummins},OHGuerns,USAGen}[email protected] USGenWeb Coordinator, http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/

BARR SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES-------The venerable James R. Barr, aged almost 80 years, distinguished citizen of Cambridge and leader in Republican politics, passed away at 9:20 o'clock Tuesday morning at his home in the Bennett Apartments, corner Tenth street and Steubenville avenue, to which he had been confined for several weeks as the result of a fractured hip, sustained when he fell on a slippery pavement near his resident. His name has been indissolubly associated with progress in and about this city that virtually every resident is familiar with his long and useful career, which was rife with accomplishments. He was born in Cambridge Township on April 15, 1854, on farm three miles north of this city, son of Samuel C. and Mary Dunning Barr, both of whom came here in 1838 from Washington County, Pennsylvania, and were married in this county. Samuel C. Barr purchased a farm of 160 acres, which consisted mostly of virgin timber, which he began clearing. In due course of time he prospered and subsequently owned 600 acres of land and became extensive sheep raiser and wool grower. James R. Barr, who spent his youth on his father's farm was educated in the county district schools and select schools. He became a school teacher and taught in the rural districts of Guernsey County for several years, then attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where he took a course in pharmacy. Returning to Cambridge he engaged in the drug business for one year. Being a Republican in politics like his father, who at various times held township offices, he took an active interest in the affairs of his party and decided at the insistence of his numerous friends to be a candidate for clerk of courts. He was nominated by his part in 1881 and was elected. He served two terms of three years each, one of which was in the old Guernsey County Courthouse. It was during his administration that the present office was constructed and occupied. At the expiration of this period as a public servant he became a member of the Cambridge board of education and served for six years. He likewise was elected to city council for a two year term and from 1890 to 1894 was the mayor of Cambridge. His administration in the this capacity was generally approved by the citizens of Cambridge and he received hearty commendation for numerous matters of progress which resulted from his leadership. He served as state central committeeman for three years and chairman of the Republican county committee for two years. In June 1896 he was a delegate to the Republican national convention at St. Louis, which nominated William McKinley, his long-time personal friend, for president. As a reward for his part allegiance and activity in local polities President McKinley appointed him as Postmaster of Cambridge in June 1897, and took office on July 1. He served by re-appointment by President Roosevelt and Taft in this capacity until Feb. 4, 1910, and according to a consensus of opinion was one of the most painstaking postmasters this city ever had. It was during this period that the free delivery of mail in Cambridge was instituted, also the free delivery of rural mail. Mr. Barr then retired to private life and engaged in the real estate business. He continued his activity as a party leader, however, and ten years later, in 1920 was nominated at the popular primary and later elected to represent the Eighteenth-Nineteenth district in the Ohio Senate, 84th General Assembly. At the regular session of that body in 1921, Senator Barr served as chairman of the committee on library and was a member of the insurance, labor, mines and mining, public health, roads and highways, state buildings and village committees. For several years he was owner and publisher of the The Republican Press, a weekly newspaper, devoted to general news and recognized as one of the leading voices of the Republican part in this section. Mr. Barr was married on April 7, 1880 to Adrianna Ferguson, daughter of Hiram C. and Amanda (Baldridge) Ferguson, prominent citizens of this county. Four daughters were born to this union; Mrs. J. I. Wilson, of Cambridge; Mrs. Jesse E. Slingluff, also of Cambridge; Mrs. Spence C. Krigbaum, of Marietta, and Mrs. C.W. Frazier, of Bridgeport. In addition to his widow and four daughters, Mr. Barr is survived by eight brothers and sisters as follows; Mrs. Jemima Willis and S. C. Barr, of Cambridge; Mrs. Elmer Hague of New Castle, PA., Mrs. William Norris, of Ravenna; Mrs. Arthur Watson, of Cleveland; John Barr of Portland, Ore.; and William and Joseph of Marion, O., James R. Barr is the second of his family of ten children to die, the first dying in infancy. Mr. Barr, was Thirty-Second degree Manson and belonged to the Cincinnati Consistory. Mr. Barr was active until a few weeks ago when injuries sustained in the fall on the ice confined him to his last. He was a widely known throughout this section, was familiar with many of early developments in Guernsey County and in the declining years of life enjoyed sitting with his friends and recount events which transpired many years ago. He was a neighbor in the true sense of the word, charitable to a high degree and especially devote himself to visiting and comforting the sick He was always interested in civic affairs and over a period of many years was the leader in numerous reforms and matters of advancement from which this city has derived great benefit. He was particularly aggressive during the boom days when Cambridge was growing rapidly and new industries were being obtained. He was fearless in asserting his opinion on outstanding issues and his advice was frequently sought throughout life. As all men in public life he was sometimes criticized by his opponents but he bore this criticism well and never let it inter his demise is sincerely regretted by all who knew him His body rests at the home of his daughter Mrs. J. E. Slingluff, 219 North Tenth Street, where funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, with Rev. Lester S. Evans D. D. his pastor, in charge. Interment will be made at Northwood Cemetery. Although a great lover of flowers it was his request that friends please omit them. 2 January 1934 Cambridge Jeffersonian.

In the winter of 1878-79 he took a course in pharmacy at the Michigan State University, and the following year was in partnership with C.L. Wall in the drug business. His public and official duties occupied the major portion of the next twelve years of life. March 1, 1891, Mr. Barr became the editor of the journal which he since conducted with ability. The circulation of the Republican Press is more than local, for the paper considered one the best to be found in the county, and its many friends are more than satisfied with its present management.

He was born near Noblestown in Washington County, Pa., August 14, 1817 and came with his parents Joseph and Mary Reed Fulton, to Union Township, Muskingum County at the age of 4 years. They later moved to the farm now owned by Dr. John McBunrey, near East Union Church, in Westland Township, where Joseph Fulton lived to be 84 and Mary Fulton to be 89, he dying in 1863 and she in 1867. They were natives of Ireland and landed in Philadelphia, July 4, 1804, with their first born, Margaret, after a voyage which then required sixteen weeks, now only one week. Robert Fulton was married December 19, 1840 to Elizabeth Dunning. They resided one year a little further over in Westland, and the purchased 40 acres from Father Robert Dunning and built for themselves a hewed home, in which all their children were born and raised and which lasted until in the early seventies when the present nice home was erected. They belonged to the East Union congregation from about the time of their marriage until 1882, when they transferred their membership to the Cambridge congregation of the United Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Robert Fulton died nine years ago last December, and was buried at East Union. Robert Fulton attended church regularly until the fall of 1901, when he broken down by an attack of pneumonia from which he never fully recovered. But being in better fashion and the weather fine, he attended the preparatory services of Saturday and the last communion on Sabbath four weeks ago; and was driven into the city five miles and back on June ! 12, the great Carnival day, to consult his physicians; and only last Thursday drove his horse and buggy with his sister, Mrs. Nancy Caldwell, of Cambridge, who is 86, about one mile distant to his son Joseph W. Fulton's for dinner. The children of Robert and Elizabeth Fulton were John Dunning, who lives in Cambridge, Joseph William of Jackson Township, Samuel Robert, also of Cambridge, Mary M. at the home, who cared for her father and mother always, and James Hunter, also of Jackson Township near the old home, David Anderson, died at the age of five years in 1865, just after Dunning and Joseph returned from the war of the Union. Of the brothers and sisters of Robert Fulton, none survive save Mrs. Nancy Caldwell. John remained back in Pennsylvania and died in 1872 at about 70, Samuel died in Cambridge, between six and seven years ago at about 75. Two of the sisters died in young womanhood, in Muskingum County, Mrs. Elzia McMillen died in Pennsylvania and Mrs. Margaret Reed in Iowa, both at mature age, but none lived to near the ages of Robert Fulton and Mrs. Caldwell. The funeral took place on Thursday at 9:30 o'clock from the home, conducted by Rev. T. D. Edgar, his pastor, and the interment will be made at East Union beside his wife Elizabeth, little David Anderson and their forefathers and mothers. Robert Fulton came of Democratic parentage by early joined the Whigs with his first vote and became at Republican with the organization of that party. He voted for William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison and twice to William McKinley. We remember of hearing him say four or five years ago how much better times are now than in the days of the first Harrison. In 1838 he hauled 500 bushels of wheat to Zanesville when 50 cents a bushel was the best price they could get for delivery there. He was a strong advocate of temperance supported by a long life of total abstinence and good health. It was said that he never paid but 12 cents for liquor and that was for four 3 cent drinks for some men in Cambridge away back at a time when it was common to claim treats on different accounts, and when it did not seem genteel to decline, but he never did this but once. For full fifty years Robert Fulton was a subscriber to the Guernsey Times, and his name stands at the head of the F list; and for as long back as we have any record of it was paid in advance. Ever sine last January it has been marked up to 1908. He lived a pure and noble life and his end was perfect peace. Thursday 26 June 1902 Guernsey Times Cambridge Ohio. The funeral of Robert Fulton, whom death we have published at the ripe and honored age of 85 years took place from what was his pioneer home in Jackson Township. A very large crowd assembled to pay the last respects to one who was held in highest esteem by every one, and whose whole life had been a model for all mankind, Rev. R. D. Edgar, his pastor conducted the exercises, and the procession was one of the longest that ever moved to East Union from any quarter of that country, and when they came together around the grave the cemetery was crowded. There were many exchanges of opinion there, and there was no discord to the tone of view that Robert Fulton was entitled to the ascription, "Well done, Good and Faithful Servant." They laid him by beside his wife of more than 50 years who have gone many years before.

The 2 Oct 1879 issue of the Cambridge Jeffersonian contains an Obit for Nathan Evans. Following was also on same page. "Capt. A.H. Evans of Zanesville, T.W. Evans of St. Joseph, MO and Geo. E. Evans of Lincoln, NE were here to attend the funeral of their father the Hon. Nathan Evans." The Obit shows he had 4 survivng children and he was married three times. > [Original Message] > From: Lainee Denton-Jones <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 9/11/2005 1:27:22 PM > Subject: [OHGUERNS] Nathan Evans 1804-1879 > > I am hoping someone can help me.

I am hoping someone can help me. I am trying to find out a will for Nathan Evans. He was born 24 Jun 1804 in Belmont County and died 27 Sept 1879 in Cambridge, Guernsey County. Buried in South Cemetery in Cambridge. I find the following online: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVANS, Nathan, a Representative from Ohio; born in Belmont County, Ohio, June 24, 1804; county clerk of Belmont County in 1827 and 1828; taught school; studied law; was admitted to the bar in 1831 and commenced practice in Hillsboro, Ohio; moved to Cambridge, Ohio, in 1832; mayor of Cambridge in 1841; prosecuting attorney of Guernsey County 1842-1846; elected as a Whig to the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Congresses (March 4, 1847-March 3, 1851); was not a candidate for renomination in 1850; resumed the practice of law in Cambridge; again mayor of Cambridge 1855-1857; judge of the court of common pleas 1859-1864; resumed the practice of law; died in Cambridge, Ohio, September 27, 1879; interment in South Cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other than this I haven't really been able to find anything else online. I do find a few genealogies online but no "proof" that this is the Nathan Evans I am looking for and hope that a will would clarify who his descendants are and give me the "proof" I need. Thanks so very much in advance for any and all help! Lainee Denton-Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
