Carpenter, William -- Mr. William Carpenter was born September 20th 1841, and died October 15th, 1918, aged 77 years and 25 days. The deceased was a son of Robert and Mrs. Mary Carpenter. In the year 1864 he was united in marriage to Miss Minerva Jones. To this union were born five children all of which are living, viz: Mrs. Nettie Beachler, John Carpenter, Mrs. Eva Bowen, Jay Carpenter, and Mrs. Grace Allenbaugh. Surviving him also are four brothers, George, Frank, David and John, and two sisters, Barbara Jones and Mary Leideigh. Twenty-one grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren are also bereft of a kind grandfather. In his early life, Mr. Carpenter united with the Reformed church whose minister at that time was the Rev. H. H. Sandow. There he attended until in his later years, old age incapacitated him. Besides the mourning relatives he leaves a multitude of friends and acquaintances who will miss his presence in their midst; but though death has claimed him, yet may we find solace in the truth that: There is a house not made with hands, Eternal in the Sky, And there his spirit waiting stands, Til God shall bid it fly. Shortly the prison of his clay Must be dissolved and fall, Then will his soul, with joy obey His Heavenly Father's call.

Chandler, Joseph - Joseph Chandler, died Feb. 29, 1880, at his old homestead in Perry Township, of inflammation of the kidneys, after a brief illness, aged about 82 years. He was born near Black Rock, Baltimore County, Maryland, May 20, 1798, and came with his parents to Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1809, where he resided a short time, and removed to Tuscarawas County, and settled near the village of New Philadelphia, and having purchased a piece of wild land at the office in Canton, he came to Perry Township, then in Wayne, but now in Ashland County. He came with his father, Joseph Chandler, Sr., and his brother Thomas and Robert F., to improve it, in the spring of 1812. The farm was situated about two miles north of the Indian village, then known as Mohican Johnstown. The village contained a council house and about sixty or eighty pole lodges or wigwams, and was located near the old Wyandot trail, and about one mile southwest of the present site of Jeromesville, and on the west side of the stream. At the same time he found a Frenchman named John Baptiste Jerome, living with a squaw, a sister of the Chief, George Hamilton, in a neat log cabin near the site of the present grist-mill, at the west end of Main Street. Mr. Chandler, in the summer of 1812, worked occasionally for Jerome, and considered him an impulsive, clever Frenchman. He had taught his wife to cook and keep house like the white women, and Mr. Chandler regarded her as a good housekeeper, considering her opportunities. Jerome seemed much attached to his Indian wife. He formerly lived as a trader n the village, but stated that the warriors got firewater, and frequently abused him, hence, he cleared a small farm, and raised horses and other stock, and cultivated a cornfield on the bottom. The Indians ceased to abuse him after this. He entered 160 acres of land, where Jeromesville now stands. He had great numbers of swine, horses and cows, running in the forests. In fact his stock ranged in the woods in great numbers. Jerome had a daughter aged about fifteen years, named Mary or Mollie, who had received her name from a Catholic Priest at her baptism, near Detroit, Mich. Jerome repeatedly rehearsed his military exploits in the campaigns against Harmar, St. Clair and Wayne, in the presence of the whites, and stated that Captain Pipe and his Delawares, had been in all those battles and glutted their vengeance against the white invaders. Mr. Chandler thinks there is no doubt of the return of Captain Pipe to Jerome's village, one mile west of the stream, and of his having a wigwam at that point, where it was pointed in 1812. Pipe, he thinks, went to the British in the spring of 1812, as he was not seen after the war began. His son resided at Greentown, until removed by Capt. Douglass. After the assassination of the Zimmer, Ruffner and Copus families on the Blackfork, Jerome's wife and daughter were sent with the Greentown Indians to Urbana, where, during the winter of 1812-13, she and her daughter died from exposure, and Jerome was imprisoned from a short time in the block-house at Wooster. Jerome sold the village site and married another wife and removed to the mouth of the Huron River, where he died shortly afterwards. In the fall of 1812, Joseph Chandler, Sr., and sons returned to Tuscarawas County, where they remained until the close of the war, and then reoccupied their cabin in Perry, where his father deceased, May, 1815, aged 60 years, leaving a widow and six sons: Thomas, Robert F., Joseph, Shadrac, Jacob and John, and four daughters: Rebecca, Eleanor, Henietta [sic.] and Alice. Joseph Chandler resided at the time of his death on the old homestead. He often alluded to the wonderful change that had occurred in Perry Township since his arrival in 1812, now sixty eight years ago. 1. He states that the first grist-mill was erected by John Raver, in Rowsburg. 2. The first schoolhouse of round logs, was in the west part of Perry. 3. The first teacher, John G. Mosier, who died near Ashland in 1856. 4. The first dry-goods store, Michael Row, in Rowsburg. 5. The first blacksmith, Adam Tener. 6. The first carpenters, Isaac Smalley and James Scott. 7. The first carding machine, at Rowsburg, by Mr. McConayha. 8. The first tanner, Geo. McFadden. 9. The first wagonmaker, Andrew Casebeer, at Buchanan's Corners. 10. The first church at Mt. Hope on Muddy Fork. 11. The first Presbyterian preacher, Rev. Mr. Brown. Mr. Chandler has always been a practical farmer, and resided on his father's old homestead. He was an exemplary member of the Methodist church for a period of over forty years, was a good citizen and noted for his frugality and integrity. His family have all grown, and are much scattered. He saw the country when a wilderness, and has noted its wonderful changes, its wealth and prosperity, and trusted that the descendants of the pioneers would remember the hardships of their parents, and live frugal, moral and useful lives, and preserve the institutions of their fathers, untarnished by corruption and tyranny. He was three times married. In 1825, to Amelia Jones, of Jefferson County, O. She died in 1825. In 1827, he married Elizabeth Farnham, of Knox County. She died in 1850, and was the mother of Lafayette, John, Marion, Joseph, Farnham and Elizabeth. In 1852, he married Margaret Beattie, of Vermillion Township. The children were Orin, Mitchell and Franklin. His last wife still survives to mourn his loss. Mr. Chandler suffered but a short time. He had grown greatly in flesh and would weigh nearly three hundred pounds. He had been afflicted for several years with a chronic trouble, that finally cut short his days. He became a member of the Ashland County Historical Society in 1875, and took especial interest in rehearsing the early times and occurrences in the county. It will be difficult to fill his place in the society, as well as in the community where he resided. He was a good man and will be much lamented. Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul.ASHLAND PRESS: 11 March 1880, Vol. XXXIV, No. 34 Submitted by Amy

Chandler, Robert F. - DIED -- On the 6th. inst., at his residence in Lake Township, Robert F. Chandler, in the 85th. year of his age. Mr. Chandler had been in rather feeble health for the last year, but the immediate cause of death was injuries received from a fall in November last, the effects of which rendered him almost helpless for the last three months, during which time he suffered at times, intensely, with resignation and fortitude, and received the care of relatives and friends, with thankfulness. Mr. Chandler was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, Sept. 4, 1795. In his early youth the family removed to Jefferson County, Ohio. In 1810, in company with an uncle, he came to Wayne County, and lived for a short time on the farm owned by the late James Childs, but they soon removed to Perry Township, then in Wayne, but now in Ashland County, and settled about two miles north of Jeromesville. On the breaking out of the war in 1812, they were ordered to leave by the Indians of Jerometown, an order which they lost no time in obeying. Hitching up late in the afternoon, they drove to Canton that night, and continued their journey back to Jefferson County. At the close of the war, Mr. Chandler who had married in the mean time, returned to Perry Township, where he resided till about 1834, when he removed to Lake, purchasing what was known as the Smith mill property, near Mohicanville. In 1848, he built a new mill at that place. About 1857 he exchanged his mill property for the farm on which he resided at the time of his death. Mr. Chandler was the father of fourteen children, two of which preceded him to the tomb. One by one the old pioneers depart and their dear familiar faces are seen no more, but exist only in the memory of those they leave behind. An additional obituary appeared in the following week's paper ... dated 19 February 1880 ...Robert F. Chandler, of Lake Twp., died at his residence of injuries received in a fall, in November last, February 6, 1880, aged nearly 86 years. He was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, September 4, 1795, and removed with his father's family to Jefferson County, O., in 1810, and shortly after, to Tuscarawas County, where he remained until the spring of 1812. At this time the father, Joseph Chandler, Sr., and his sons Thomas, Joseph, Jr., and Robert F., went to Perry Township, then in Wayne County, to improve lands previously entered at Canton land office. The location is now where Joseph Chandler, Jr., resides, about two miles north of Jeromesville, on the east side of Mohican. When the Chandlers landed the Delawares were quite numerous, but harmless. They had a village about one mile south-west of the present site of Jeromesville, on the west side of the stream, known as Mohican Johnstown. The village contained a council house and about sixty or eighty pole lodges or wigwams, and was located near the old Wyandot trail. The village was a common resort of hostile Wyandots on their warlike excursions to western Pennsylvania and Virginia in the days of the border wars. Many white captives had been led up the old trail, by the village, from 1780 to 1795. The Indians had cleared some fifteen or twenty acres of bottom land which the squaws cultivated in corn, after the Indian manner. The village was west of the stream on lands now owned by Dr. Yocum. About one mile north-east of the village a Frenchman by the name of John Baptiste Jerome resided in a comfortable cabin, having an Indian wife and daughter aged about fifteen years. He also had horses, cattle and swine, and had cleared about thirty or forty acres of bottom land along the stream at the west side of what is now Jeromesville, on which he raised corn and supplied many of the early pioneers with seed corn. When Mr. Chandler landed, the Indians, mostly Delawares, were quite friendly and often came to see him in his cabin and clearing. He was a Quaker in dress and faith, and the Indians manifested a good deal of interest in his safety and success. The Chandlers immediately set about clearing a piece of land on the bottom; near where they erected a cabin, which he planted in corn. About the time of Hull's surrender at Detroit, August 16, 1812, the friendly Indians notified Chandler of approaching danger and he and his sons deemed it prudent to leave. They returned to Tuscarawas County to near where New Philadelphia now stands, where they remained with the family until the close of the war. In the meantime, Robert F. returned to Jefferson County where he remained until about 1815, when he again rejoined his father's family and returned to the Mohican and continued improvements on their old homestead. In May, 1815, the Chandler family, father, mother and sons, removed to their wilderness home. Two years afterwards his father, Joseph Chandler, Sr., sickened and died, and his mother survived until 1852, and died at an advanced age. Robert F. continued to reside near Jeromesville until about 1834, when he purchased and carried on what was then known as Smith's Mill, near Mohicanville. This mill he continued with certain improvements, to carry on, about thirty years, and finally disposed of it and purchased the farm where he deceased and turned farmer. Mr. Chandler was a friendly, genial pioneer, and in his primal days delighted to dwell upon the incidents of pioneer life sixty-eight or seventy year ago. Being a miller for many years, and possessing good conversational powers, he became acquainted with nearly all the early settlers of the south part of the county, and when in the humor, a very interesting talker. He was never a member of any church, regarding it his duty to treat all men justly, and believing that when his career should end on earth, that the Supreme Ruler of the universe would reward such a life. He looked kindly upon all men, and desired to so live that he might have a conscience free of offense when called home. He married young, being only about twenty years of age. He returned to Jefferson County, where he married Miss Charlotte Jones, April 25, 1816. This lady deceased September 19, 1819, and in January, 1825, he married Miss Hannah Winbigler, who died February 25, 1875. His family consisted of Charles and Eleanor, of his first wife, and Robert, William, Joshua, Shadrac, Hannah, Joseph, Charlotte, Sarah, Rebecca, John and Jasper, by his second wife. All these were living when this sketch was written, in 1876, except John and Jasper. His family are much scattered, and many reside in the far west. Among the incidents of his life, Mr. Chandler took much pleasure in relating the following: When a young man, during his residence in Tuscarawas County, he became acquainted with a number of Delaware Indians, formerly from Greentown, upon the Blackfork. At a hilarious gathering, near Goshen, in Tuscarawas County, a number of Delawares, joined in the sport of wrestling, running and hopping. A tall, powerful Indian, formerly from Greentown, by the name of Philip Kennotchy, challenged Mr. Chandler to wrestle at arms-length -- Indians never taking back-hold. Mr. Chandler being always full of conceit and very ambitious and athletic, and weighing at the time, about two hundred pounds, accepted the banter. The parties selected the ground, and took hold as agreed, Mr. Chandler supposing himself superior to all rivals at arms-length; but the giant grasp of the big Delaware soon convinced him that he had a full match. They twisted, tripped and struggled for thirty or forty minutes, until nearly exhausted, without apparent advantage to either. Mr. Chandler became very much enraged and quite desperate, while Kenotchy remained calm and resolute, and finally compelled him to ask a cessation of the struggle, which Kennotchy was willing to do. Mr. Chandler said that at one time, he was so much enraged that he felt like striking the Indian; but in his calmer moments, he is now satisfied that he refrained from all violence, because the Indian would have undoubtedly overpowered and severely punished him. In connection with this Indian, he gave a very interesting detail of the Ruffner, Zimmer assassinations, on the Blackfork, in the fall of 1812, Kennotchy was very fond of fire-water, and while under its influence, gave full particulars of the Blackfork murders. He stated that he was one of the party that killed Martin Ruffner, Frederick Zimmer, the old lady, and Kate. After leaving the cabin and passing up the ravine, the Indians held a council, when Kennotchy returned and dispatched the white squaw, meaning "Kate" with his tomahawk, the other Indians protesting, when he claimed to have "brave heart". This is the most valuable information ever obtained concerning the particulars of that fearful tragedy. Of late years, from advanced age, Mr. Chandler became quite feeble, and when his late accident occurred, gradually failed until carried to his long home. Few more cheerful pioneers could be found. Soon they will all be gone.ASHLAND PRESS: 13 February 1880, Vol. XXXIV, No. 30 Submitted by Amy

Chesrown, Louis - Died, on the 22nd last, at his home, one mile east of Mohican, Louis Chesrown, Sr. aged 80 years and 11 days. Mr. Chesrown was born in Washington County, Pa., April 11, 1811. In 1833 he was married to Elizabeth Redd and in 1837 he imigrated to this State and entered the farm upon which he died. He was the father of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, of whom seven boys and two girls survive him, his faithful wife having departed from these earthly scenes January 26, 1879. He left fifty-two grand children and twenty-one great grand children. Mr. Chesrown was very successful in his life as a finacier, having owned at one time eight hundred and thirty-five acres. He was a man universally respected by his friends and neighbors, noted for his honesty of purpose and kind feels towards those around him. For the past twelve years he has been an invalid, caused by a chock to his nervous system; during all this time he was kindly waited upon by his son Louis. For the past few years he had been much harder to wait upon, but was cared for in the same careful way as before. Many a time has the writer sat in his room during the last three years and saw Louis handle him and care for him as often as ten or twelve times an hour, doing so without a murmur or a word of dissatisfaction. Although he had been an invalid for so many years, that life could not have been the same to him as it had before, yet it certainly was brightened by the manner in which he had been cared for. He was buried in the St. John’s cemetery on Friday, Rev. Medger, of Mohican, preached from 2Cor., v.I. Submitted by George [Ashland Press 30 April 1891]
