| 807 | In Memoriam Hershel Dale Pierce son of Mr. and Mrs. O.B. Pierce was born in Arcanum, Ohio January 5, 1884 and departed this life March 6, 1916 at his parents home in Arcanum, Ohio, age 32 years and two months. He spent his boyhood days in Arcanum and on October 22, 1905 was married to Miss Marie Morris. He leaves to mourn his loss his beloved wife, mother, father, one brother, one sister, many relatives and a host of friends. He was an unusual fellow, clean in his habits, always kind, loving, cheerful, and thoughtful of others. One shoes life could be an example for any one. He lived in West Manchester the first five years of his married life and from there went to Dayton where he accepted a position at the National Cash Register. Since the flood of 1913 his health began to fail and on December 3, 1915 he quit work and as he said “was coming home to die.” He was confined to his bed only five weeks and all the tender care given him by loving hands could not prolong his life but as he always said, “everything was alright” and when the end came he peacefully slept away. He died as he lived. For several days he was tired and longed for rest. May he find sweet and peaceful rest in the arms of the sympathetic “Comforter” who said “Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love had give And though the body moulders there His soul is safe in heaven. | Pierce, Hershel Dale (I392)

| 812 | It is believed that the first grist-mill ever erected in the township was in the northwest corner of the township, on the Little Darby, built by George Van Ness, about 1820. This was a three-story frame, quite an imposing structure at that early day, and was, of course, run by water-power. But it continued in use until about two years, when the dam was washed out and never rebuilt, and consequently the building was never used again for mill purposes. About 1825, Messrs. Lockwood & Nelson erected a gristmill on the Little Darby, in the northeast part of the township, on land now owned by Mrs. Hampshire. Subsequently, these men were succeeded in the ownership of the mill by James Snodgrass, and he again by Albert Lombard, who was succeeded by L. D. Mann, who was the last to run the mill, after which it stood idle and went, to decay. About 1830-31, George Weaver and his son John built a saw-mill on the Little Darby, on lands now owned by Joseph Weaver [not sure which Joseph Weaver this refers to]. This saw-mill was run about ten years and then went into decay. These appear to have been the principal early mills. In later years there have been a few other mills, principally of the portable kind, which have been moved from place to place as timber and occasion required. | Weaver, Joseph (I545)

| 826 | JOHN M. BRADLEY, farmer, P. O. Rosedale, was born July 17, 1833, in Madison County, Ohio. His parents were Alfred and Jemima Bradley, who were early settlers of Madison County. He was reared to manhood on a farm, and received but a rudimentary education. In November, 1859, he married Miss Surrilda Morris, daughter of David adn Sarah Morris, deceased, of this county. To them have been born seven children, six of whom are now living, viz: Dewitt C., Sarah L., Lorenzo D., Stella M., Mary V. and David C. In 1859, he settled where he now resides. He has served as Trustee and Clerk of Monroe Township; is a member of the Christian Church, and the owner of 148 acres of land in a good state of cultivation. Source: History of Madison County, Ohio - Chicago: W. H. Beers & Co., 1883 ~ Page John M. Bradley who was born in one of the pioneer homes of Madison County, June 17, 1833, occupies an important position both in the industrial and public life of Monroe Township, where he makes his home on his farm, which is situation 10 miles west and a little south of Plain City. He is a son of Alfred Bradley, who was born in Virginia, in 1804. He in turn, was a son of Jonah and Susan (Powers) Bradley, who came to Ohio in 1805 and were among the first settlers of Monroe Township, where the father (Alfred) of our subject passed his boyhood. After attaining manhood, he was married to Jemima Morrow, a native of New York, who had been brought to Ohio when she was a small child by her parents, who were pioneers of Madison County, where she was reared. After marriage, the Bradleys took up their home on a new farm, and the father worked industriously at its improvement until his untimely death by drowning, at the age of 45. The mother (my note: Jemima Morrow Bradley) died in Monroe Twp when her son of whom we write was ten years old. She had four children that grew to manhood and womanhood, of whom our subject and his sister Elizabeth, are the only survivors. (my note: Jemima Morrow married Alfred Bradley 14 Oct 1830 in Madison Co OH. Alfred couldn't have been born 1804 as his parents married 19 Dec 1806 VA. Most likely born 1807) Our subject was the 2nd child born to his worthy parents, who early instilled into his mind the principles that have been his guide through life. He first attended school in a log house, that was a typical pioneer institution of learning, with rude home-made furniture, the seats being made of slabs, and the desks of the same material, placed against the wall for the convenience of the older pupils in writing. When but ten years old, the little lad was thrown mostly on his own resources and had to work out by the month for a living, so that his schooling thereafter was confined to the winter terms, when he worked for his board that he might have an opportunity to gain an education. He lived with his Grandmother Bradley a part of the time, and also with an uncle, earning his own living entirely after he was 12 years old. When he was 16 years old he crossed the mountains with a drove of cattle, walking all the way to Pennsylvania and back. While still a boy, he lived two years in Mercer County, this State, and passed a year in Logan County, Illinois, but with those exceptions he has always lived in Madison County. Mr. Bradley located where he now resides at once after his marriage in the autumn of 1859. There were but few improvements on the place at that time, and he has made the farm what it is today by skillful and untiring labor, working systematically, carrying out every detail carefully and employing none but the best methods in cultivating the soil and in managing his affairs generally. He has 170 acres in his homestead, beside 87 acres elsewhere in the township. The buildings are substantial and well arranged and everything about the place is indicative of the thrift, business energy and practical ability of its owner. He devotes it to general farming and has it well stocked with fine horses, cattle and hogs. Our subject was married to Miss Surrild, daughter of David and Sarah (Weaver) Morris in November, 1859. She, too, is a native of Monroe Township, born here June 24, 1839 and here she has passed her life thus far. Her marriage with our subject has brought them four sons and three daughters, of whom these four are living and complete their pleasant home circle: Lorenzo T, Stella M., M. Viola, and D. Cushman. Three of their children have passed to life beyond: DeWitt C who died at the age of 25 yrs; Lydia who was 20 at the time of her death, and Morris who died in infancy. Mr. Bradley is one of the leading public officials of the township, and has played a prominent part in the administration of local affairs, holding various responsible positions for which he is well fitted, as he has the interests of the township at heart, is possessed of good business habits, and exercises the same skill and careful supervision in civic matters that he does in looking after his own private concerns, and he has never been known to neglect a trust. He was Clerk of the township from 1858 to 1864, and he still holds the office of Trustee, to which he was first elected in 1867, and of which he has been an incumbent continuously since, with the exception of the year 1880. He has also been Supervisor of Roads. In politics he is first, last and always a Republican. He helped organize the first Christian Church in the township and is one of its most active working members. Socially, he is a Mason and belongs to Lodge No. 311 at Plain City. | Bradley, John M.

Lewis Weaver is known as a citizen who has always been essentially helpful in the growth of the community in which he resides. Lewis Weaver, farmer, Irwin, Madison county, was born on February 27, 1841, in Pike township on a farm, and is a son of John and Elizabeth (Moss) Weaver. He grew to manhood on the farm and obtained his education at the district schools, remaining at home until he was married. In 1863 he located on his present farm of one hundred and forty acres, which is located eight miles east of Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Politically, he has always been a loyal supporter of the Republican principles. John Weaver, father of the subject of this sketch, was born on May 18, 1807, a son of George and Elizabeth (Hempleman) Weaver. He was united in marriage, in 1836 with Elizabeth Moss, who was born on February 22, 1817. Mr. Weaver was a native of Virginia, but was married in Ohio, where she died. They were the parents of nine children, only three of whom are living in 1915: William, who follows farming in Pike township; Addie, who became the wife of Benjamin Black, and lives in Pike township, and Lewis. Lewis Weaver was united in marriage, September 11, 1862, with Celia Lucetta Morse, daughter of Caleb and Huldah (Arnold) Morse, and niece of Elizabeth (Morse) Kennedy. Mrs. Weaver was born on September 23, 1838. She was reared on a farm in Pike township, and was the youngest of thirteen children. Her education was obtained in the district schools. This union has been blest with one son, Harold, who was born on July 31, 1863, and was educated in the public schools. He is now the husband of Myrtle (Figley) Weaver, by whom he has had one child, Celia, born on September 30, 1868. Caleb and Huldah (Arnold) Morse, parents of Mrs. Lewis Weaver, were the parents of thirteen children, only three of whom are living in 1915: Albert E., who lives at Irwin, Ohio; George, of Mechanicsburg, and Celia Lucetta.
