Bits and Pieces From the Past Welshfield, Ohio July 10, 1899
From an Old Budget Letter March 15, 1899
The weather is nice, but a little cool after the rain. Wheat is about all on shock, which is a fair crop. David Troyer and wife arrived here last Sunday night from Holmes County, making the trip in a buggy. Jonas C. Miller has hired to Spencer Brown for a half month for $12.50. I would advise J. C. M. to attach a cyclometer to his thousand mile shoes so he can tell when it’s time to grease them! I will close wishing God’s blessing to all. D. S. Miller.
Phineas V. Yoder and Peter Barkman arrived here with their household goods to make this (Geauga County) their future home. J. N. Byler is all smiles since that baby boy came to greet him. Born March 12, 1899, the boy was named Benedict. * (*He eventually married and moved to Mercer County, Pa. but has numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren in the area. Oh yes, and even a daughter-in-law.)
