"WeNboys fished some for pastime, sf evenlnjts." said Silas when I asked what' recreation the boys enjoyed when he was "We fished mostly In the north prong of Ma lenlca creek, for it was quite a good sized stream when the country was new and ponds stood full of water It was a good place to fish. After I was grown up I joined seining parties along the Salamonie river. I remember one day when we started in at Mt Etna and made hauls at different holes until we reached the place about opposite where the flowing well is now located. We had soms Dsn but had not made many good hauls. The other fellows wanted to suit, but I was not quite ready.

I believed that one more haul In Borne deep water down this way would be a food one, so I said: 'Boys, let's make one more draw in the next hole below, and I'll agree to take for my share whatever we happen to catch an this one. You can divide the others among "In the party besides myself wer my brother John, Wm. Hull, Sile Blossom, Mart Zook and Jim PUcher. Well, sir, we went in and when we circled ont on a good landing place did have a powerful nice lot of Bali. We had aome big red horse that weighed as high as eight pounds, and we had twenty two black suckers that ranged around two "pounds each.

But didnt hold the boys to the agree ment. I made them put the fish with the others to be divided equally." Waa the Jim PUcher you mentioned connected In any way with PUoher'i Chapel was asked of Mr. Fisher. "It waa Jim's father, John PUcher, that donated a half acre of land where the first log church was built," replied the old man. "On account or the donation the members decided td name it Pilcher'i Chapel and it has been going by that name ever since.

John Pilcher lived Just south of the church a little ways. Frank Ray owns the land now. My brother, John P. Fisher, lived close and was one of the first members." "Where was the first saw mill ideated here at Monument City?" 1 asked. "Right back of our house here," answered Silas.

"Well, right about where we have our chicken park. Steve and Sumner Weeks ran It a long time. It never was a waWt mill but was run by steam. They finally added a corn crusher and used It in connection with the sawing." By way of supplement to the above, J. might add that some of the early "records seem to' indicate, that the first saw mill in Monument City was owned and operated by Weeks Klyter, who also owned a store in the village.

Other store proprietors down through the years Include 0. W. By ram, Noah and Isaac Hlldebrand, James and John Hollett, George Welter, Jonas Calvert, C. E. Hefner and A.

J. Beal. It was Hefner St Beat made a double building out of the original structure. The present proprietor of Monument City store is John W. Mosher.

"I think about the first house in the village was built by Plez Gray," said Uncle Silas. "His right name was Pleasant, but everybody called 1iim Pies. He had a blacksmith shop too." "If you were born in this township, you must, remember of seeing me inaian village mat was near here, just a little east of the Jim Bailey home." I suggested 0f course I do.

Their chief was old San vi. and he was inclined to be fair aad honorable with the whites, but his people wre quarrelsome and troublesome. There was one bad Indian among them who would steal from the whites and do other mean things.

One time my brothe John caught him stealing one ot our horses from the pasture vlot and stopped him at the bars. John stood right up to him and made him leave the horst and clear out "But at another time they did steal one of our horses and got away wita enterprise of promoting the purchase it.

Jim Bailey happened in at thb Kellam home while I was calling and mentioned that he remembers old troughs that were left by the In dians and they remained at the site of.

the village for many years, finally rotting and disappearing. Mr. Bailey said the old orchard planted byi the Indians produced some fine apples One tree especially bore fruit that, thinks was one of the best apples ever tasted in his life. Silas Fisher recalled the redskins enjoyed joking the white settlers and laughed heartily at pale face methods of doing things, He quoted the Indians as saying this: "White man he hean much" fool build heap big fire set all way frack Indian he build wee little fire and set close up." Uncle Silas also added that the little brown pappooses were strapped to boards and leaned up against trees or maybe, sometimes, swung from limbs in a circle around the fire, The aged Mr. Fisher knew many in; cldents associated with old pioneers in the township.

He said Dan James, who was quite a reader and well informed generally, lived up th river where George King now re sides. Silas seemed to be of the opin ion that Dan's boys were mischievous and always playing pranks of some kind. They sometimes even played them on their own father. "I remember when Dan bought a fine new wagon," said Silas, "and he had the boys throw in a of wheat for him to take to Hildebrand's mill to be ground Into Dan told the boys for goodness sake to behave while he was away, 'and off he drove, proud as a peacock to sit up high on the spring seat of his new wagon, Arriving at the mill Dan made some inquiry when it would be ready. The dusty miller looked in the" wagon and said, 'But where's the wheat'? Look ing behind him, Dan was thunderstruck.

For an instant he waa so dumbfounded he couldn't speak. Then looking at Hlldebrand he exclaimed: 'Gosh! I've lost the whole But the endgate was missing. How did that get out? Poor Dan drove clear back home and there he found the sacks of wheat in the barn. The endgate was there with the sacks. Those peBky boys had pulled the sacks off the wagon just as their daddy was leaving the barn.

"Sometimes boys and young men of the neighborhood would do ins pected things on the spur of the moment. When Kirk Hull was teach ing the Hart, school, an exhibition was given in the evening. The house was packed and during the program Dan James decided to get out of the building. As he was crowding to wards the door, young Henry Fisher suddenly grabbed htm 4T the throat with one band and with' the other, drew back as It to strike him a terrible blow. Dan was scared stiff.

John Killen stood hording in' his arms his little" son Monroe. Quick as a wink he handed the child to Bob Thomas, caught the festive Henry by the collar and of his pants and threw him' out of the house so hard ho hadnt any breath in him for an instant. That happened over sixty years ago'. Henry was more humble after that." What a treat It was to hear this old man now, bordering on ninety, recount these neighborhood doings of the long ago. Silas mentioned that his wife died the 17th of March, 1881.

Their seven children" were Martha John, Jennie, Alice, Lemuel and Noble. Only Martha Kellam, John Fisher and Alice Bare are now living. "I put up ten cords of stove wood in the fall," remarked the aged gentleman. "I ground so the ranked it on high water can't take it away. Oh, yes, I mart nf wnrk can still do rjght helped John South about ten years older than John, but I can freeze him out husking corn.

I weigh about 130 now. The heaviest I ever weighed was 149. I was never what you might call real sick except once when I undertook to smoke tobacco. I was so deathly sick that time that I never tried to use tobacco again in any way. The only time I ever got hurt worth mentioning, was when a mudboat swung around and broke my ankle."

I stopped my car at the monument and looked at the list of names of Polk township boys who died for their country. Surely the township Offered her full quota of supreme sacrifices for the winning of the Civil war.
