Hello from Geauga County, Amish Country,
It was a nice warm day on Aug. 30. A good soaking rain would be most welcome. We did have a light rain on Aug. 29, but not enough to really soak in.
Our sympathy goes to the family of Mrs. Dan Barbara Kaufman. She passed away in the early morning of Aug. 29. The funeral was Aug. 31. Her husband died when he was only 31, leaving her with four little children. She was a widow for almost 52 years. She lived with her son Eugene next door to the Burton Rubber Factory.
Daughter Sylvia and two sons and granddaughter Kaytlyn and her brother Jeremy and I went to the Middlefield Flea Market on Aug. 30. There was lots of nice produce there and many vendors, too. Peaches were selling for $19 a box.
Having a cookout at son Mark’s house on Parkman-Mespo Road the night of Aug. 30 were son Wayne’s family and Joe and I. It was a nice evening to sit outside. All too soon this will end. Days are already getting shorter.
The first day of school at Sawmill Lane was Sept. 1. It seems summer was way too short.
We received another wedding invitation in the mail for Timothy, son of Eli and Ada Weaver, and Edna, daughter of David and Clara Miller of Bundysburg Road. Their wedding was on Sept. 8.
Brother-in-law Joe K. Yoder, of Mio, Mich., is not well. They have hospice coming out to help. He’s pretty much in a hospital bed being very weak from his heart condition.
On Aug. 25, granddaughter Regina and Eddie Miller were married. They have bought a home on Udall Road, but are living at Toby Stoltzfus’s on Shedd Road until they have remodeled their house.
Bits and Pieces of Yesterday
Sept. 1, 1899: Welshfield, Ohio
A friendly greeting to all.
We are having hot and dry weather, so dry that many wells are going dry. People who are not done plowing are having a hard job of it.
There are quite a few visitors here from Lawrence County, Pa., and Holmes County, Ohio, among them is John K. Fisher, who is here to buy a farm.
It is reported that J.D. Byler has made over $100 worth of cider and jelly. D.D. Miller has not yet started up, but intends to on the 5th.
J.C. Schlabach is busy threshing grain, and Byler and Gingerich keep their cylinder humming from morning till night.
Albert Miller and Moses Schlabach, who sometime ago were buried by the caving in of a gravel bank, are able to work again.
