Five Generations on Robinson Family Farm Story and Photos by BEVERLY KERR

F
arming requires hard work and dedication as there’s no time clock to punch. Farmers work until the job is finished. Having lived on a farm all my life, it seems important to me to share stories of our local farmers from time to time. One special farm family comes from the Noble County area. For over a hundred years, the Robinson Farm has been in their family. Today Jerry Robinson lives there and keeps the family working together. He recalls many stories of the farm over the years. Back in 1909, Perley and Rachel Robinson decided to purchase eighty acres in Noble County for $400. They had been renting a farm and wanted a place of their own. Nothing but brush grew on the land, and only enough grass for two cows and two horses. Three small coal mines were dug into the banks to provide heating for their home and perhaps they sold a
little to help with expenses. These small mines even had tracks and coal cars. This great-grandfather built a sturdy home there of oak 2x4s. That home still stands today and provided a place for the second generation, Ralph’s family, to live. Ralph and his wife, Bonnie, had six children, four boys and two girls. All four boys, Jerry included, were born at home while the two girls came later in life and were born at Caldwell Hospital. One of the boys was placed in the oven of a wood burner to keep him warm. When Jerry was four years old, he had an accident while trying to wire something to his wagon. The wire flew into his eye and he’s been blind in his right eye ever since. But that’s no excuse for not working! From the beginning, the Robinsons chose to raise Hereford cattle, and still do today. They rented 1500 acres of pasture from the coal company, and more from

LOCAL FEATURE neighbors for pasture and hay. Jerry still remembers that when he was five years old they had two horses, Doc and Bell, that pulled their farm equipment before their first tractor, which was purchased in 1949. Like most farmers, tractors are special to Jerry and he even has an extensive Ford and New Holland model tractor collection. He’s lived on this same farm all his life, and helped his dad with farm-work in the evenings after school. This never seemed a chore, as it was just something he liked doing. Being on his tractor and tending his beef cattle give him enjoyment. Night calls to the barn to help bring a new calf into the world are nothing new to him. Over the years, he worked for the highway department, but farming has always been in his blood. Jerry’s son, Dinty, loves the farm as much as his dad. The grandsons, that fifth generation, are great workers and eager helpers. Most days, someone is working from 6-6, and often later during haying season. They might work until three in the morning if rain is predicted and hay needs to be brought in.

en and women may begin to feel less flexible as they get older. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, that loss of flexibility is because muscles lose both strength and elasticity as the body ages. A lack of flexibility can make men and women more vulnerable to certain types of injuries, including muscle strains and tears. While people might not be able to maintain the flexibility they enjoyed in their twenties, there are ways for them to combat age-related loss of flexibility. • Stretch frequently. Stretching is a great way to combat age-related loss of flexibility. Stretch major muscle groups, such as hamstrings and shoulder muscles,

several times per week. When practicing static stretching, the goal is to gradually elongate the muscle being stretched before holding the elongated position, and ultimately allowing the muscle to return to resting position. As flexibility improves, elongated stretches can be held for 30 seconds. Avoid stretching muscles that are sore or injured, and discontinue a stretch if you feel pain or discomfort.
women can try more difficult poses and classes if they so desire. • Get in the pool. Swimming is another activity that can help aging men and women improve their flexibility. Strength-training exercises are an important component of a well-balanced exercise regimen, but such workouts tend to focus on one or two muscle groups at a time. That means other muscle groups may be inactive and tighten up as a result. Swimming works the entire body, which helps all muscle groups stay loose and flexible. One or two swimming sessions per week can contribute to great gains in overall flexibility, especially for men and women who remember to stretch when they get out of the pool.
• Include yoga in your exercise regimen. Practitioners of yoga typically love how this unique discipline that exercises the body while relaxing the mind improves their flexibility. Many yoga poses are designed to improve the strength and flexibility of muscles, and some physicians may even recommend yoga to aging patients.

How to Fix Leaky Vehicles
Without Breaking the Bank
D
rivers expect to experience a few bumps in the road as their vehicles age. While certain issues, such as worn shocks or engine troubles, are best left to the professionals, drivers can address many other issues that commonly affect aging vehicles on their own. Fluid leaks are one of the more routine problems that plague older vehicles. While leaks are not necessarily a sign of doom and gloom, they tend to distress vehicle owners and can affect drivability. In addition, automotive fluids that seep out of vehicles can prove harmful to the environment. Leaks may not be a concern for drivers of new vehicles, but studies show that drivers are keeping their vehicles for longer than ever before, suggesting that leaks are becoming a greater issue for more and more motorists. A 2016 study from the Institute for Highway Safety found that the average age of vehicles on the road in the United States is nearly 12 years. By 2021, the IHS expects a 30 percent increase in vehicles that are 16 years or older. So how can drivers address leaky vehicles before they contribute to potentially larger, more costly problems? Fortunately, leaks can be a relatively simple fix, which should assuage any fears drivers may have as the numbers on their odometers continue to rise.
Now & Then
| 14
Identifying leaks Identifying leaks is the first step toward fixing them. According to CRC Industries, a global leader in specialty maintenance and repair chemicals, including K&W brand Stop Leak products, the simplest way to identify which fluid is leaking is to determine its color. CRC notes that red fluid suggests a leak in the power steering system or transmission, while black fluid typically indicates old oil or transmission fluid that has gone bad. If the leaky fluid is green or yellow, then it’s likely engine coolant. Fixing leaks Once drivers have identified which fluid is leaking, they can then take steps to fix the leak. Unlike other problems that plague older vehicles, leaks can typically be fixed quickly and affordably. “Stop leak products can really save the day, especially if the leak means that you have to stop driving the vehicle,” says CRC Technical Service Manager Scott Brownstein. “Our K&W Stop Leak solutions are designed to provide faster, less expensive alternatives for drivers who may be facing costly mechanical repairs.”
Stop leak products can be especially valuable to drivers of older vehicles, who may not want to pay for repairs that could very well exceed the value of their cars and trucks. In addition, replacement parts for older vehicles are oftentimes not readily available. In such instances, stop leak products can help drivers keep their cars on the road until replacement parts are found. Stop leak products also can be valuable in the face of emergencies, giving drivers time to get their vehicles to their mechanics. K&W Stop Leak products are available to address any type of leak drivers may encounter, and drivers need not be car savvy or mechanically inclined to use the products without professional assistance. For example, K&W’s Super TurboTM Engine Oil Stop Leak and Steer-XTM Power Steering Stop Leak employ a “Pour & Go” formula that can get drivers and their vehicles back on the road in 10 minutes. As more and more drivers look to extend the life of their vehicles, leaks figure to factor more heavily in the lives of motorists. Addressing such leaks can be easy, quick and affordable.

OHIO’S KKK INFATUATION OF 1923 “Kn i g ht s o f t h e i nv i s i b l e e m p i re o r Ku K lux K lan were ac tive S aturday night, seven fier y c ro s s e s b e i n g d i s p l ayed on hills surrounding the cit y.” — Cambridge J effersonian ne wspaper, May 21, 1923
O
ne of the strangest and least-remembered chapters in the history of Ohio took place in the early 1920s. Those were the years when the Ku Klux Klan recruited perhaps ten to twenty percent of the white, male, Protestant population Story by RICK BOOTH of the state into its ranks. The Klan here flashed to life in only a matter of about two years, yet by the end of the decade, few would still admit to being in its ranks. The Roaring Twenties saw the rise and fall of the “second Ku Klux Klan” as a national phenomenon. Southeastern Ohio was caught up in the fervor. The year 1923 in particular saw the meteoric rise of the Ku Klux Klan in Guernsey County. It began with a single flaming cross seen blazing on Tunnel Hill, high above the western edge of Cambridge, shortly before Christmas, 1922. Quickly thereafter, Klan activities escalated to grand gatherings of thousands, culminating in October, 1923, with a Klan parade of robed and hooded men and women, thousands strong and more than a mile long, marching through the streets of Cambridge with

the Cambridge City Band leading the way. To understand what happened in the 1920s, it’s important to realize that there have been three distinct incarnations of organizations calling themselves the Ku Klux Klan over the past century and a half. The original, first Klan was born in the South, shortly after the Civil War. It was the white population’s reaction to the shock of having to deal with former slaves as social equals during Reconstruction, which most in that society found unacceptable. Furthermore, fear of blacks controlling local or state governments through the ballot box engendered extreme measures to suppress their votes. The Klan of the late 1860s and early 1870s was violently anti-black, complete with many a lynching, to the extent that President Grant
William J. Simmons, founder of the second Klan
felt forced to send in federal troops and prosecutors to try to shut it down. Ultimately, that Klan largely died out as an organized entity in the 1870s under the federal crackdown, but enough social damage had been done, and the beginnings of anti-black Jim Crow laws enacted by then, that by the time federal oversight went away in the later 1870s, white dominance over blacks in the South had been reestablished. In that respect, it has often been said that though the North won the Civil War, the South won the peace. To skip ahead, the “third” Ku Klux Klan is the one that exists today, which largely came about as a reaction to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and ‘60s. Born mostly as a reaction to the legally forced desegregation of schools and society at large, its membership count is today relatively small by comparison with the first and, especially, the second version of the Klan of the 1920s – perhaps ten thousand or less active nationally at this time. The “second” Klan was formally chartered by an Atlanta businessman, William Joseph Simmons, in late 1915. He drew his inspiration from the famous
first major epic silent motion picture, D. W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, which was released that year, unfairly portraying Southern blacks in the worst possible stereotypes. It also set forth the original Ku Klux Klan as the saviors of the South, keeping Southern belles safe from evil, sex-crazed negro men. The movie idealized the original Klan members as chivalrous, self-sacrificing knights, always ready to ride to the defense of righteousness, imperiled white women, and the American way. William Simmons was smitten by the movie’s simplistic, uplifting portrayal of the Klan and wanted to establish a new whites-only club for preservation of the society and values he saw in 1915 as representing the “true” America. Curiously, Simmons’ new KKK club simply stagnated with modest membership in Atlanta for its first five years. Then, in desperation to make a profit from his privately-owned Klan business, in 1920, Simmons hired a local PR firm called the KKK INFATUATION continues on pg 18

KKK INFATUATION continued from pg 17 Southern Publicity Association to try to make his Klan club grow. Their reward incentive would be a huge eighty percent of all new revenue they could generate over the next two years. The brilliant KKK makeover and marketing plan they devised is what took the second Klan from near zero to peak membership of about six million people by the mid1920s. Marketing geniuses Elizabeth Tyler and Edward Young Clarke quickly realized that suppression of blacks in the South could not be the binding force for a large national organization. They needed new enemies of Americanism to give the Klan purpose in all corners of the country. Besides, the blacks were already well suppressed for the most part, and the PR firm felt the Klan needed a more respectable image than that of a night-riding lynch mob. The new enemies of America they chose were Catholics, Jews, immigrants, most unions, and the moonshiners and bootleggers violating newly-enacted Prohibition laws. Racial segregation and suppression of blacks was still on the agenda, but so much of that goal had already been achieved by 1920 that it was no longer the core motivating issue. The new Klan was to be marketed as a patriotic service organization, modeled on Masonic-style secrecy and rituals, for white Protestant males (plus a separate women’s division) with the ostensible goal of preserving the values of native-born white Protestants in American government and society, despite challenges from all the other perceived enemy groups threatening to change societal norms. It would thus be billed as a club for “100% Americans.” The new Klan was designed to have appeal to Northerners. Indeed, most of the new Klan came to operate in the North rather than the South. The most intensely Klan state, in fact, soon came to be Indiana, where nearly a quarter of white Protestant males are believed to have joined! Oregon had a similarly high enrollment rate. Colorado was intense, too. Not to be left out, Ohio was nearly as pro-Klan in the early 1920s as was Indiana. Besides coming up with a new list of enemies for the Klan, the marketing firm designed a system for increasing membership that paid recruiters inside the Klan 40% of the $10 registration fee charged to new initiates. Adjusted for inflation,
Now & Then
| 18
that’s equivalent to being rewarded with a $60-permember bounty today. And new recruits could become eligible to recruit yet other new members for the bounty. Friends recruited friends. The Klan essentially operated as a multi-level marketing pyramid with cash flowing abundantly upward from dues and enrollment fees. There was also plenty of merchandising controlled by the KKK corporation. After all, they sold the official white robes and insignia. Easier to join than the Masons, the Klan specialized in large festival-style gatherings with food and games for the wife and kids during the day, and spectacular fireworks and cross burnings at night. The public was often invited to attend these “family-friendly” spectaculars, and attend they did – by the thousands. Recruiting rewards, public entertainment, and smart marketing made the second Klan grow like wildfire. It also made a few people at the top quite rich. A KKK Katechism and Song Book left over from Guernsey County’s experience of the 1920s makes very little mention of blacks while concentrating almost all its fire on Catholics, whom it portrays as potentially anti-American pawns of the pope. The Catholic service organization Knights of Columbus is described therein as a semi-military group that must be opposed by an equally armed Protestant group – the white knights of the KKK, of course. Jews were targeted for criticism, too, but the main point of resonance in Southeastern Ohio in the 1920s seemed to be anti-Catholicism. In this area, there had been a large influx of non-Englishspeaking Eastern European immigrants in the early 1900s. Many came to take difficult, low-wage jobs in area coal mines, which were flourishing here and in constant need of cheap labor at the beginning of the twentieth century. Most were Catholic. They tended to self-segregate into their own separate communities where foreign languages were often spoken and Old World traditions and customs practiced. Their economic competition with locals for the lowest rungs on the wage ladder was, to many, threatening. The KKK therefore opposed continued immigration and obsessed over combatting what it perceived as the immigrant-based Catholic threat to “100% American” patriotic Protestant values and culture.
LOOKING BACK explosion accompanied by the sudden appearance of a giant burning cross on a hilltop overlooking a town. That’s how the Klan announced itself at Cambridge on December 14, 1922. Rumor had it that 300 citizens were already secretly members at that time. Zanesville saw its first burning cross about the same time, followed by a mysterious note and generous Klan contribution to the Bethesda Hospital building fund, thus establishing the benevolent intent of the Klan toward the city. The next month a local Methodist Protestant minister named Rev. Frank L. Brown gave a pro-Klan speech to an audience said to number over 1,500 at New Concord, most likely somewhere on the Muskingum College campus. In early February he again appeared at an M.P. Church on West Main Street in Zanesville, speaking by the glow of an electric “fiery cross” to an assembly of nearly 2,000 about the virtues of the Klan. Methodist and United Brethren ministers were most often KKK INFATUATION continues on pg 20

By the Klan’s good luck, the Eighteenth Amendment, instituting the Prohibition era, took effect in 1920, the same year the Klan’s national marketing rollout began. They latched onto enforcement of Prohibition as a core cause, allying themselves with the influential Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League which had pushed through the recent amendment. Accusing Jews and Catholics of being the main lawbreaking bootleggers and moonshine makers, they concentrated their limited vigilante justice efforts in Ohio more on finding and breaking up stills in private Catholic homes than on activities against blacks. In December, 1923, the Klan’s Fiery Cross newspaper, published in Indianapolis, reported that vigilantes had conducted a large raid in Guernsey County’s Lore City. “One dozen homes, mostly those of aliens, were raided one evening recently… Stills, mash and other paraphernalia were found in almost every place visited… One alien whose home was raided worked fast to disconnect a still before the raiders entered, but he was too slow. He was fined $200 for possession of liquor and $300 for possessing property for the manufacture of the stuff. One of the foreigners tried to explain to the court that ‘all Slavish men have a right to have a little liquor in their homes for private consumption.’ He even produced a Slavic newspaper, published in Cleveland, which appeared to bear out his contention. The court took a hardheaded view of the case and assessed a fine.” Officially, the Klan’s position was that it did not hate any other ethnic, religious, or racial group as such. It just wanted them to stay out of political power and do their best to conform to “100% American” values and laws. In fact, politicians in many places ran and succeeded as openly Klan candidates. Many police departments were proudly pro-Klan. Among others, the city of Denver, Colorado, was virtually Klan-ruled for several years. Ohio’s Summit County Klan claimed to be the largest local chapter in the United States with 50,000 on its rolls. Members included the county sheriff, several county commissioners and judges, plus the mayor of Akron and most of that city’s school board. The Klan swept into virtually every community in Southeastern Ohio between 1922 and 1924. Often the first sign of its arrival would be the sound of a loud

KKK INFATUATION continued from pg 19 mentioned in the press at this time as religious advocates for the Klan. Yet other ministers in other churches often opposed them. By April, open Klan meetings were being held in Cambridge. One was given by a clergyman with a sermon entitled “Why the Ku Klux Klan is a Great American Institution.” By May, the spectacle of bombs and fiery crosses had advanced to seven simultaneously burning on the hills surrounding Cambridge. The Klan was growing fast! In July, 1923, a massive all-Ohio gathering at Buckeye Lake was estimated to have drawn between 20,000 and 80,000 participants. Fireworks launched from barges in the lake thrilled the crowd. In September, about 500 automobiles descended on the C. W. Stevens farm in the vicinity of today’s Salt Fork State Park for ceremonies and a cross burning. That same month, about 4,000 attended the first large meeting at a hill above Byesville. But the grand KKK event of 1923 at Cambridge, held a mile east of town, was the huge festivalstyle gathering on October 27, 1923. Attendance estimates, which included the general public, ran as high as 20,000 or more. Sixty acres set aside for parking were said to have been filled to overflowing. The Jeffersonian reported, “Every train into Cambridge Saturday brought visitors for the Ku Klux Klan conclave…” Five area bands, including the Cambridge City Band, participated in the mile-long robed Klan parade. Afternoon events for men, women, and children included foot races, a cracker-eating contest, sack race, egg race, high jump, broad jump, a nail-driving contest, horseshoes and a baseball game. After the evening parade, a stunt plane was set to do a night flying demonstration, likely with an illuminated electric cross on its belly and wings,

but it failed to clear a fence on takeoff and crashed in a field. Fortunately, the pilot survived with only bad bruises and sprains. The highlight of the evening was the induction ceremony for 500 new members and, of course, the burning of a giant cross. The audience was thrilled. They loved it! In subsequent years, however, interest began to wane. Though the Klan invited all to come sing carols and burn a cross with them on Christmas Eve, 1924, in Zanesville, the post-WWI economic boom of the 1920s brought perhaps too much optimism to people for them to feel seriously threatened by immigrants, Jews, and Catholics anymore. Sporadic violent incidents and encounters between the Klan and other groups also began to mar its “100% American” image. Then, in March, 1925, D. C. Stephenson, the hypocritical, money-siphoning, hard-partying, liquor-drinking head of the Indiana KKK, violently raped a female friend after she refused to date him. The young woman died from her wound infections combined with a mercuric chloride suicide attempt she made in what she felt to be her state of irredeemable ruin. Stephenson was convicted of both rape and murder, and the dirty laundry of the second Ku Klux Klan took a very public court airing. The press then accelerated in its turn against the KKK. The scandal was so sordid and so sensationally covered by the national press that the second Klan’s image never recovered. By 1930, the fad of the Klan had largely passed, though Guernsey Klan No. 16 at that time still maintained its county office in the Colley Block building in Cambridge at the corner of Seventh and Main. In 1933, Prohibition was repealed, yet another nail in the second Klan’s coffin. Klan alcohol policy was firmly stuck on the wrong side of public sentiment, in company with the little old ladies and suffragettes of the WCTU. Past membership memories became an embarrassment to many. And so the forgetting began. I would like to thank local historians Dave Adair and Randy Neff for access to items and pictures in their collections which shed light on the KKK wave that swept this region 95 years ago. Since history tends to repeat itself, once in a while, it’s useful to remember what our ancestors so long ago tried to forget.

Stockport Mill & Inn GIVES SCENIC VIEW OF MUSKINGUM RIVER Story & Photos by BEVERLY KERR

A RETREAT FOR ALL REASONS – OR NO REASON AT ALL. Escape crowds and noise. Listen to the sounds of the flowing river. Enjoy a delicious meal. All these become part of the experience when visiting Stockport Mill and Inn on the Dam at the edge of Stockport, Ohio. Explore the history of the area while you “mill around”. Stockport Mill, located at the sixth in a series of locks and dams on the Muskingum River, had its beginning in 1842. The building today is the third building at this site. It was built in 1906 by the Dover Brothers. By using a pair of 10-inch Leffel turbines, it not only provided power to run the mill but generated electricity for the town of Stockport. Stockport Milling Company was known for making

Gold Bond, Seal of Ohio and Pride of the Valley refined flours. Products were shipped on steam packet boats and on the Ohio & Little Kanawha Railroad, because good roads were not available at that time. That early mill supplied many different needs. Farmers could get feed and supplies for their animals, including halters and show supplies. Wives used the mill to purchase their garden seeds and plants. Even the children found a place to pick up a 4-H project in the form of baby chicks. This was also the place where farmers met to share their news, until it ceased operation as a feed mill in 1997. Three years later this beautiful old mill was restored and
now functions as Stockport Mill Inn and Restaurant on the Dam. It is the only mill still remaining of many that dotted the busy river in the past. The owner, Dottie Singer, has attempted to preserve the original architecture and building materials. Inside you’ll find many unusual antiques, information about the history of the area, and great pictures and paintings throughout donated by local Morgan County residents. There are fourteen guest rooms with private balconies, which all have scenic views of the Muskingum River. You might choose to stay in the Morgan Raider Suite, Valley Gem River View, or Captain Hook Suite. Suites come with a jacuzzi, while other rooms still have that old fashioned claw bath tub. Each of the four floors has a meeting room for relaxation as well as early

This is a great place for a reunion, wedding, business meeting, or just to get away. Their dining area has a wrap around terrace so you can have a delicious meal while watching the river drift by. The restaurant is open weekends throughout most of the year, but closed in January. Friday and Saturday, their hours are 5PM-9 PM, while on Sunday, their delicious buffet, which brings memories of Sunday dinners on the farm, runs from noon-4PM. Reservations are recommended. While those early turbines that produced electricity for the town became corroded, new turbines have been installed that are similar Leffel Samson turbines. The only difference is these have stainless steel parts instead
of the early carbon steel, which rusted. Water enters the turbines through a trash-rack, which keeps logs from interfering with turbine action. Then it goes in a tunnel under the mill, where it hits a runner, which turns and makes the power. The generator sets on top of the Speed Increaser at a level above the 100-year flood level. This Hydro Project produces around 800,000 kilowatt hours per year, using seventeen million gallons of water each day. After all their electric needs are met at the mill, any excess electricity is sold to the electric company. It’s no surprise that today this system is run by a computer! For those who like to stay away from it all, Stockport Inn and Mill Restaurant on the Dam would be the perfect place. Guests often come back for the river view from their balcony, great food, and the rustic décor. Many have a favorite suite they use time after time. Relax as you hear the sound of the river bubbling right past your balcony at this historic structure. Look for it on your next trip down the Muskingum River.
