100TH BIRTHDAY OF MRS. BARB ARA OTT IS CELEBRATED MONDAY

LEWISBURG. Ohio. July 29. Memories of farms cleared out of dense forests, and located miles from the nearest town, which was reached by corduroy roads, of a "moving" across "naif the state of Indiana, accomplished by means of three covered wagons, one of which was drawn by a team of oxen, enlivened the re-union of the relatives and descendants of Mrs. Barbara Xtt on the occasion of her-lOOth birthday celebration. Mondav.

Five generations were present, the I

sreai-great grandchildren who represented the fifth generation enjoying a monopoly of the attention, however. A census taken during the re-union showed the existence of 25 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren and two greatgreat grandchildren, although not all were present. The re-union was held at the home of Mrs. Matilda Gangwer, two miles northwest of Lewisburg, Mrs. Ott's daughter, with whom she has been making her home for the last few years. Members of the family began to gather early in the forenoon, and a large representation enjoyed the picnic dinner that was spread on tables beneath the trees. Pioneers In Ohio. Both the Link family to which Mrs.

Ott belonged, and her husband's famiyL the Otts, were among the earliest pioneers of western Ohio, and their children in turn carried out the family tradition by moving still farther into new country and clearing land in central Indiana. John and Barbara Link, Barbara Ott's parents, were married in Virginia, where they lived for two years before moving into Ohio. Of this journey, made through forest and unsettled country, Mrs. Ott has no remembrance, having been an infant at that time. The Ott family, from, whom John Ott was descended, also were natives of Virginia, in Rockbridge county, moving to Ohio at about the same

time as the Links, and settling near, Euphemia, now known as old Lewisburg. Fear o.f Indian depredations caused the Otts to return for a short time to Warren county, where they had stopped on their western journey, but after another year they again came to what is now Preble county. In 1815 they were an integral part of the community, and in that year John Ott married Mary Magdalena Locke. John and Mary Ott settled on a farm on the dry fork of Twin Creek, west of Lewisburg. . , One of Eight Children. Mrs. Barbara Ott, the central figure of Monday's festivities, was one of eight children, Elizabeth, Margaret. Catherine, Mary, Eve and Ann, and two children of their mother by an earlier marriage, Elijah and Lydia Pease. Of these Mary Lyons lived in Greenville, Catherine Link in Lewisburg where Ann Lyons also lived. Eve Alexandria, wife of Jules Alexandria, lived at Fort Vvayne, Ind. Lydia Pease Schlosser lived in Sonora, and Elijah Pease, in Bluffton, Ind. Mr. Pease is the only one besides Barbara Ott who is still living, and he was expected to attend the celebration. The two sons, John and Noah and the daughter, Mrs. Mary Swank, daughter of Mrs. Schlosser, still live near Sonora. A number of Mrs. Barbara Ott's chil

Miss Glick is a student of business college. The two brothers, Joseph and Charles are widely known tobacco buyers of Eaton. Lived Pioneer Life The life of Mrs. Matilda Gangwer, one of Mrs. Ott's daughters, is typical of the life of earlier times. She was married at a little over 17 years of age. Farm life then entailed even more of odd jobs and regular chores than it does now, so that there was little leisure for the newly married couple. Later, they moved into Indiana to a forest farm near Fort Wayne, where 20 acres- of land were reclaimed from the forest and cleared of trees, stumps and stones. Mrs. Gangwer's husband died last winter, and, profiting by her lifelong experience on the farm, she immediately took up the reins, and with active direction of the farm in her

own hands, has crops and buildings

His purchase money served to buy candy to console the children for his loss, and it was the saying of the children, that in the candy, they had "eaten Tearall all up" before they reached home. Yet when the family arrived, at the Ohio farm, Tearall was waiting to welcome them. He lived to be 10 or 12 years old. Two Near Centenarians.

wagons, one of which was drawn by a team c oxen. Four horses pulled the lead wagon, in which the. family rode, and a single team was on theh third wagon. Much of the journey was over corduroy roads. The new farm, though only 20 miles from Fort Wayne, was yet at a greater distance in point of time than much more distant cities of the present, as it took two days to go to the city and back. Mr. Ott with his family, soon moved back to Ohio. One of Mrs. Gangwer's clearest recollections is of the dog

Tearall, who often chased deer through the clearing of the Indiana farm. He
