Hotchkiss Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 16:45:45 EST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit S.B. HOTCHKISS The subject of this sketch was born in a log house situated in Cussewago Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in May, 1842. His parents were poor, and just commencing life upon a new farm. His father, Henry, came to this Country from New Haven, Connecticut, in the year 1809, and was of French descent. His mother, Esther, was a descendant of an English family that came from Hartford, Connecticut. He had one brother and four sisters, and was the elder of the brothers, and, as is usual, had to take the brunt in helping his father clear the land and prepare it for cultivation. He worked upon the farm summers and lumbered winters, with very few and limited educational advantages, until his twentieth year. At this time, it is said, he could scarcely write his name legibly, but the latent powers of the aspiring youth, so long held in check by circumstances, soon began to develop themselves, and, with an indomitable perseverance, he mastered everything in his studies that he undertook. The winter of the same year he attended district school, after which he helped his father on the farm until fall, when he attended his first term of school away from home, -at Kingsville, Ohio, -procured his means by economizing time: working rainy weather and nights when his father would not require him to work for him. At the close of the term he came home, intending to enlist in defense of his country; but the schools being left without teachers, he was persuaded to teach during the winter, at the close of which he returned to the farm. The next fall he went to Kingsville Academy again. After its close he took charge of the Mosiertown Academy, and taught there for two years. About the time he was about to close his labors in teaching, his father's house with its entire contents, including his own library and clothing, was destroyed by fire. Added to this comparatively light affliction was the death of his only brother while in his country's service. Actuated by that noble sympathy a child ought to have for a parent, he spared no means in his power to console and render comfortable his bereaved parents and sisters. Consequently, he stayed at home and helped his father rebuild a house, and saw him once more comfortably circumstanced. Having procured means by teaching for a more extensive education, he attended the Northwestern State Normal School at Edinboro' for nearly two years. Having acquired a fair knowledge of Greek, Latin, mathematics, and the sciences, he thought himself qualified to commence the study of medicine. Accordingly, he enrolled his name as a student with Dr. William Gamble, of Mosiertown, in the year 1865, and studied with him three years, including six months spent at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City. Feeling the great responsbility of the medical practitioner, and having a disgust for quacks and half-educated men in all professions, especially that which deals with that most complicated and intricate machine- the human system, - he determined to qualify himself as thoroughly as possible for his chosen profession. He therefore ceased his medical studies for the present, and attended Allegheny College for two years. In the autumn of 1870 he again returned to Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and graduated at that institution with reputation in March of 1871; returned to Allegheny College, and graduated there in June of the same year. In the fall of 1871 he located at Edinboro', and engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery. As a practitioner, he has met with excellent success; has an extensive business, and merited the confidence of the entire community. As a man, he is strictly honest, courteous, and always cheerful. He is industrious; attends strictly to his own business, and, by economy, is accumulating a fair share of this world's goods. He is a gentleman of pure morals; never was known to indulge in the use of profane language, tobacco, or ardent spirits. Is a firm believer in the Bible, and the great distinctive principles therein taught, as exemplified in the life and character of our Saviour; is a gentleman of good motives, ability, and clear judgment, possessing an even, well-balanced temperament. He has a good physical organization, and we predict for him a long life, full of usefulness and honor. --part0_915919765_boundary--

LOGAN Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 14:09:21 EST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit SAMUEL J. LOGAN. The subject of our sketch was born in South Sheango Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, on September 17, 1838. His father, David Logan, a farmer of influence, and good sound judgment and ability, was born on what is known as the Logan Farm, upon which Mr. Logan now resides, the father having died in 1872. Mr. Logan received a good English education, and has spent the most of his life on the farm. In 1863, during the war, he was active in filling up the quota of his township to prevent the necessity of a draft; and greatly through his influence a sufficient amount of money was raised by contribution to obviate the necessity of a draft by filling the quota of the township. In 1864 he joined a party formed for the purpose of exploring the "Big Horn" Mountains in search of gold. He spent two years in the Rocky Mountains, in Dakota, Montana, and the Pacific Slope. His adventure embraces many thrilling incidents among the Indians and animals of that then almost untrodden wild. He returned in 1866 to the old farm. In 1869 he married Miss Lina Free, with whom he lives at present "in peace and sweet content." In the spring of 1874 he was elected Justice of the Peace in his town, and in the fall of the same year he was nominated by the Democratic party as one of their candidates for the Legislature. Although his party was considered in the minority by five hundred votes, he was elected by over two hundred majority against some of his competitors. He is now an active member of the House of Representatives, and a member of the Centennial Committee appointed to represent the State at the great Centennial Exposition. As a representative man of Crawford County, by permission, we copy the following description of him as given in a work entitled "Descriptive Sketches of the Members of the Pennsylvania Legislature," by George H. Morgan: "S.J. Logan, one of the Representatives of Crawford County, is a gentleman of more than average talents. He does not speak often in the House, but no one ever heard him two minutes without perceiving that he is a man of some intellectual calibre. There is always stamen in what he says; he is a good reasoner, and displays much ability in the clear way in which he asserts his views on the question before the House. His style is plainness itself. He seems to have no ambition to shine as an orator, or to occupy the time of the House by delivering set speeches for mere personal distinction, but is ever ready to vindicate or defend the interests of his constituents. He is sincere in his opinions, and all he appears to be concerned about is that the House should know what those opinions are. His matter is always sensible; nor is he by any means deficient in argumentative matter. He is a calm and deliberate speaker; there is no appearance of effort, no striving after effect in what he says. He speaks evidently from conviction; this is seen in every sentence he utters. He is a man of excellent private character, and a consistent politician. He is much respected in the House, and though a firm Democrat, his opinions are of some consequence on the Republican side of the House. He is commendably regular in his attendance at the sessions of the House, and is said to be a hard worker in the committee-rooms." --part0_915919329_boundary--

Like many another son of Erin, he looked over the ocean for greater freedom and a better home. In 1789, he took passage to America in the "Lazy Mary," and, landing at Baltimore, remained in Maryland till about the year 1797, when he migrated to what is now Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and settled upon the farm at present occupied by his daughters, Jane and Sarah. In the year 1805 he married Arabella Milligan, of Belfast, Ireland. Five children were given them, and three were called back to Him who doeth all things well. The oldest, James, was born January 22, 1806, and died September, 1843; Elizabeth, Novemeber 28, 1807, and died on October 20, 1864; and John, June 3, 1811, departed this life October 27, 1861; while Jane, born November 13, 1809, and Sarah, on May 3, 1813, are still residents of the old homestead. A score of years passed happily ere the family circle was broken by the wife and mother's death, which occurred July 31, 1820. Politically, Mr. Gallagher affiliated with the Democratic party, and in religion held to the old Covenanter faith, his wife being a member of the United Presbyterian Church. Regarded as to his intercourse and dealing with men, Mr. Gallagher was upright, honest, intelligent, and worthy. He was fond of his family, and they of him. Respected in life, his death on February 12, 1832, was an occasion of the deepest regret. Mother, amiable and charitable, and father, kind and faithful, reared their children in the paths of truth and honor, and now sleep in peace in the "Old Settlers' Grave-yard," where a monument of enduring marble marks the revered spot which holds their dust. --part0_915919300_boundary--

John Chamberlin, Sr., was one of the first settlers in this township, there being but one other family here when he came; the nearest mill was at Meadville, fifteen miles, and the only way to get there to walk, and carry his grist on his back. He lived in a cabin for a few years, then built a log house; was obliged to go to Meadville for help to raise; among the men who came was Judge Clark, who was then holding court at Meadville. John Chamberlin, Jr., is a man of domestic character, preferring the comforts of a quiet home, and giving his attention to his domestic affairs; is a man of strict integrity and respected by all. --part0_915919265_boundary--

As such is given the brief statement of the life of Henry Lackey, who was born March 9, 1797, in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. To those who are conversant with schools of that period where they existed, it would scarcely be necessary to say that he who got even a common education did well. Like many another sensible man, the culture of the fields has been his chosen avocation in life. On April 19, 1819, he married Eunice Hazen, of New Jersey. She was born in 1795, and was therefore two years his senior. They have had six children, -three sons and three daughters; four of the six are still living. Mrs. Lackey died June 26, 1862, having reached a good old age. Her husband still survives in his seventy- ninth year. Age begins to tell upon him, yet his mind is clear and his step firm. He is spending his remaining days with his oldest child, Mrs. Walp, who joins with her kind husband in perpetuating the names of honored parents. Foty years those parents walked the journey of life together; forty years the familiar step was heard upon the threshold of a happy home, then death came and separation. The wife went on before, and in God's good time the lonely husband will be called to follow. --part0_915919215_boundary--
