DEATH OF MRS VOLINA W. FORBES

Mrs. Volina Worth Forbes was born on the dark and storm-beaten Island of Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts June 28, 1804 and was the daughter of Capt. Wm. Perry of the Nantucket whaleship JOHN ADAMS.

CAPT. PERRY, only son of ED’rd PERRY was killed by a whale in the Pacific ocean in the year 1802. Capt. Perry was accidentally killed by his crew in hoisting a cask of water on board his ship as the vessel was clearing the harbor of Nantucket outward bound December 25^th, 1803.

According to the family register, Edward L. Forbes and Volina W. Perry were married in a church at Nantucket by Rev. Edward Swift Jan 10, 1830. The law of the State of Massachusetts at that time was that marriages should take place at a church and should be published on the church door two weeks before the marriage occurred.

A few years after her marriage the shale oil business began to go down at Nantucket and her husband with many others moved to the main land from there they moved on West.

From the year 1849 to 1856 the family lived at Hartford, Ohio Co., Ky. In 1852 her husband built and owned the business house, which was owned by JOHN P.

TRACY & SON at the time it was destroyed by fire some years ago. While living at Hartford, her daughter, MARY L. FORBES, age 18 died of consumption and was buried in the Morton Cem. The farm some miles north of Hartford known as the Forbes Farm, once belonged to her husband. In the year 1857 the remainder of the Forbes family returned to CINCINNATI, OHIO. Her husband died there JULY 23TH, 1861 in the 58th year of his age. Since the death of her husband, she has resided with her relatives at CINCINNATI. She died there after a few days of illness of paralysis at the home of her daughter MRS. JOSEPHINE E. TAFT at number 22 HOPKINS STREET, CINCINNATI, NOV. 30, 1886. SHE HAD 8 CHILDREN... 3 STILL LIVE... her son E. F. FORBES better known as EDWIN FORBES IS AN UNDERTAKER in the FORDSVILLE DIST. Her daughters are MRS. JOSEPHINE F. TAFT , WIDOW OF SAMUEL H. TAFT of Cincinnati and MRS DELIA M. BIRGE, wife of EDWARD D. BIRGE, late of the UNITED STATES ARMY and now an engineer on a western railroad. Mrs. FORBES loved to talk to he last, of her island home, was personally acquainted with CAPT. POLLARD of the ill fated whaleship ESSEX.... knew Sam Comstock the chief mutineer of the whaleship Globe and was on board of the ship after it was brought home to Nantucket, saw some of the Officer’s blood in their state rooms where they were murdered by the mutinous crew, and the bullet holes in the state room doors and railing, she also knew some of the officers and crew of this unfortunate vessel. Though she was a small child at that time, she recalls seeing the night engagement between the Americans and British on the coast of Nantucket during the last

war with Great Britain and counted the flash of the cannon from the observatory of her home and saw the remains of one of her neighbors who went to assist the

Americans brought back to the Island, his head having been carried off in the battle by a British cannon ball.

THE MASON AND DIXON’S LINE

The Mason and Dixon’s line originated in a dispute between Lord Baltimore and WILLIAM PENN regarding the boundary line of “PENN’S additional grant

from the crown” In 1682 Penn came to America himself to assist his agents in establishing his claim. Lord Baltimore disputed the line, and an arbitration was

agreed upon. Charles Mason and James Dixon “mathematicians and surveyors” of London were mutually agreed upon by the descendants of the original patentees. They began their work in 1764 and completed in 1767. It was substantially the line that separates Maryland (the Baltimore Grant) from the Pennsylvania (the Penn Grant) The line ran along the parallel of latitude 39 degrees, 43 minutes, 26.3 seconds . It settled the discussion that had prevailed for eighty years. The line was resurveyed in 1849 and

found to be nearly correct. Mason and Dixon surveyed westward 244 miles. At each fifth mile a stone was erected, engraved with the Baltimore arms on one side and those of Penn on the other. Smaller stones were placed at each mile. There is a popular belief that the MASON and DIXON line was the dividing line between the free and the slave States. This is not the case. Delaware was a slave state and it lies both east and north of the line. The compromise slave line was agreed on in 1820 and fixed the northern limit of each slave States as should be admitted into the Union. In the original federation the free and slave line was at latitude 36 degrees, 30 minutes. The peculiar projection of Virginia now knows as West Virginia known as the pan-handle was caused by the Mason and Dixon survey. The separating line between the slave and free States became know as the “MASON AND DIXON LINE” because of contiguity to the original survey.

MAY 11, 1887 WEDNESDAY

......................

When the vast cane-brakes covered nearly the entire section know as the bluegrass region of Kentucky, and when lurking Indians made every thicket an ambush from which to shoot down and scalp the earliest white settlers, there came from Pennsylvania a man of German decent and whose name was Liter. Among the children left by him was Henry the father of the subject of this sketch. The family lived three years at Bryant’s Station, for protection against the savages. Henry was but a child and when he grew to manhood married Mary Ament, one of the earliest natives of the section. This happened in Bourbon County, where July 14, 1822 in a family of seven children Adam Liter was the sixth born to them. The means of procuring an education were scant in those days and it was common among the best minds to procure their learning after maturity and by their own efforts. That Adam Liter is a well informed man is due to his own efforts As a youth he helped on the farm, but his ambition took him abroad in various vocations -- a part of this time as confectioner in Madison, Ind. Failing health caused him engage in running flat boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and afterwards lead to a career of steam boating, in which he was successful and popular along the rivers on which he ventured. For many years he owned boats which he piled the Green and Barren rivers between Bowling Green and Evansville. Occasionally he also ventured on the Ohio, Mississippi and Wabash. At the breaking out of the Civil War he owned two boats which were taken by the government. In 1863 he built two more and these were also pressed into government service, armed and added to what was called the “TIN-CLAD FLEET” He built other boats and sold them. He also leased and operated a coal mine near Scottsville on Green River. It was while boating on the Green River that he bought several farms, aggregating 1,000 acres, on the great bend opposite South Carrollton on which he settled in 1871 and on which he has displayed the same good judgment as in other enterprises. He is known as a progressive farmer and no one is posted in the practical lessons of agriculture and stock raising. he takes several agricultural papers and apples modern machinery to his farming operations. Capt. Liter was married in 1846 to Sarah C. Foster of Cincinnati, Ohio and has two sons living. He has always voted Democratic ticket is a Baptist in religion and has been an Odd Fellow since he became of age. Though often pressed by political friends to stand for reprehensive from his county, he has never offered for that or any other office. His aspiration now seems to be to close an active life amid his stacks of grain and lowing herds where the black smoke of the steamers, which daily pass nearly around his farm, will remind him of the times and the enterprises by which he gained his well earned title of Captain

Departed this life at his home in Ohio Co. on the 20th day of SEPTEMBE 1887, EDWARD ROWE , born December 27, 1809, always claimed his home within

one mile of where he was born/married October 1856, he was the second of then children all of whom are dead save three. The announcement that Uncle Ed Rowe was dead threw out entire community into mourning and will cause many a manly bosom to heave with sorrow when distant friends read the announcement that he is no more. Uncle Ed had his faults, but he was singularly exempt from those moral obliquities which too often mar the sympathy of what would otherwise be a splendid manhood. That he was rightly honest kind, benevolent and just all who knew him will readily testify.

But to us he was as the model farmer, the methodical business man, the loving husband, the kind and indulgent parent and thoughtful and obliging neighbor and dutiful citizen that the force of his character as the strength and constancy of his affections shone most conspicuously.

At or past the meridian of life, when he married he was never blessed with off-spring of his own. but upon his wife and her children by he former husband he lavished the rich affections of his noble nature, and reared a family of step-children, who ardently reciprocated his love, and he lived to see them take their places among the most honored and respected citizens of the community. Punctuality was a cardinal virtue with him and his habit of promptness was well illustrated in a little episode of which the writer herd, which occurred some years ago between Uncle Ed and a prominent lawyer and life-long friend of his at Hartford. The Attorney a man of liberal means engaged in a business enterprise, which required more ready money than he had to him so he applied to Uncle Ed for the loan of $500, which was promptly applied by the latter for which he took a note of his friend. Shortly afterward, Uncle Ed unfortunately became involved in a law-suit and called his legal friend do defend him and at the close of his suit in which Uncle Ed was successful, he called on his attorney and demanded to know his fee.

He was told that the fee was $100, where upon Uncle Ed took out his pocket book and proceeded to count out the amount. His legal friend declined to take the money, telling him to credit the note for the borrowed money by the amount.. No sir, said Uncle Ed... Take your money, for I am going to pay my debts whether others people pay their or not.

Verily a good man and just man has gone to his reward

PAPER FOR WINDOW GLASS

Paper for window glass is one of the newest inventions. A window-pane is made of white paper manufactured from cotton or linen and modified by chemical action. Afterward the paper is dipped in a preparation of camphor and alcohol, which made it like parchment. From this point it can be molded and cut into remarkable tough sheets almost transparent, and can be dyed with almost the whole of the aniline colors, the result being a translucent sheet showing far more vivid hues than the best glass exhibits.
