Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year.

Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall.

• Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over.

• Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood.

• Clean up borders. Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging.

• Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway.

• Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas.

• Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile.

• Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year.

• Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter.

• Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall.

• Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter.

• Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting.

• Prune hedges. Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year.

• Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter.

Autumn may not seem like gardening season, but there are plenty of lawn and garden

tasks to tend to during this time of year.

Cottages and apartments have become a part of the picturesque rolling countryside as the Sisters of Notre Dame and Jennings, a northern Ohio established senior healthcare facility, have collaborated to design and build the Notre Dame Village.

By Jayne Kracker

Cottages and apartments have become a part of the picturesque rolling countryside as the Sisters of Notre Dame and Jennings, a northern Ohio established senior healthcare facility serving northeast Ohio for over 75 years, have collaborated to bring a unique living arrangement to the Geauga County area—the Notre Dame Village. Jennings will directly manage the Village. Housing ranges from independent living cottage homes and apartments to memory-care assisted living, all on the Notre Dame campus on Auburn Road in Munson. “Respect, Compassion, Community, Celebration of Life, and Discovery of Potential are the core values of Jennings,” according to Jennings president and CEO, Allison Q. Salopek, “and they align with the Sisters of Notre Dame values as well.”

The Village features spacious two-bedroom cottage houses built by local builder Payne and Payne; comfortable, independent-living apartments with amenities such as on-site community dining and an underground parking garage; and small house memory care assisted living which is part of the new philosophy of small-house care practices. “We are always happy to give someone a tour and talk about the facilities and amenities and to

Remembering My Mom’s Clothesline

There was a time when I was designated as the clothes washer in the family. We had a Black Wash Pot for boiling the clothes and three tubs. The first tub with a “rub board” - then two rinses - then they were ready for the clothes line. We had a long wooden pole (clothes pole) that was used to push the clotheslines up so that longer items (sheets/pants/etc.) didn’t brush the ground and get dirty. I can hear my mother now. The basic rules for clotheslines:

1. You had to hang the socks by the toes, not the top.

2. You hung pants by the bottom/cuffs, not the waistbands.

3. You had to wash the clothesline(s) before hanging any clothes by running a damp cloth the entire length of each line.

4. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order, and always hang «whites» with «whites,» and hang them first.

5. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders, always by the tail.

6. Wash on a Monday. Never hang clothes on the weekend, or on Sunday, for Heaven’s sake!

7. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines so you could hide your «unmentionables» in the middle. (Perverts and busybodies, y’know!)

8. It didn›t matter if it was sub-zero weather. Clothes would “freeze-dry.” I remember my Grandfather’s union suits standing by themselves frozen. How many remember union suits?

9. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes. Pins left on the lines were tacky.

10. If you were efficient, you would line the clothes up so each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed item.

11. Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes basket, and ready to be ironed. Ironing is a whole other subject.

And now a poem ...

A clothesline was a news forecast, to neighbors passing by,

There were no secrets you could keep, when clothes were hung to dry.

It also was a friendly link, for neighbors always knew If company had stopped on

by, to spend a night or two.For then you’d see the “fancy” sheets and

towels upon the line;You’d see the “company” table cloths with

intricate designs.The line announced a baby’s birth, from

folks who lived inside, As brand new infant clothes were hung, so

carefully with pride!The ages of the children could, so readily

be knownBy watching how the sizes changed, you’d

know how much they’d grown!It also told when illness struck, as extra

sheets were hung;Then nightclothes and a bathrobe too,

haphazardly were strung.It also said, “On vacation now” when lines

hung limp and bare.It told, “We’re back!” when full lines sagged,

with not an inch to spare!New folks in town were scorned upon, if

wash was dingy and gray, As neighbors carefully raised their brows,

and looked the other way. But clotheslines now are of the past, for

dryers make work much less. Now what goes on inside a home is

anybody’s guess, I really miss that way of life, it was a

friendly sign, When neighbors knew each other best

By what hung on the line.

Staging To Impress Buyers Homeowners must consider a variety

of factors when putting their homes on the market. One of the more important things to remember is the benefits of making a strong first impression on prospective buyers. That’s why many homeowners rely on staging when selling their homes.

S t a g i n g requires more t h a n j u s t c l e a r i n g o u t clutter or baking a batch of cookies to create a welcoming aroma. Staging helps potential buyers visualize the potential of a home and see themselves owning and living in the property.

While homeowners can effectively stage their own homes, sometimes it is well worth the investment to call in a professional designer or stager. Stagers often work their magic on vacant properties or those that have been sitting on the market awhile. A stager conducts careful research into the market of a particular area and learns about the neighborhood before deciding how to appeal to likely buyers. For example, when staging a coastal home, a stager may go with nautical themes and create the impression of a relaxing and laid-back property for entertaining by the beach.

Certain rules should be followed when staging a home. Furniture, decor and other amenities in the home should not detract from the house itself. Instead, such items should complement the architecture and feel of the space. Here are some additional staging suggestions.

• Remove personal effects. Homeowners are urged to replace personal photographs with neutral artwork and remove other decorative items that reflect their personalities. As an example, an avid outdoorsman probably will want to remove hunting trophies. The goal is to help buyers

see themselves in the home, and that can b e d i f f i c u l t i f e x i s t i n g r e s i d e n t s ’ personal effects are everywhere.

• Put away n o n e s s e n t i a l i t e m s . Staging helps h o m e o w n e r s create dream s p a c e s .

Coffeemakers, backpacks hanging on the wall and dishes in the drainboard may be part of daily living, but they can make it hard for buyers to see a home’s potential. Store such items before holding an open house.

• Maximize lighting. Whenever possible, take down or open window treatments to display architectural moldings and let in as much natural light as possible.

• Opt for neutral colors and furnishings. Use neutral taupe and gray paint to keep homes prime for buyers. Homeowners who have more eclectic or colorful tastes can put their items in storage and rent neutral furnishings until the home sells.

Staging can improve the chances that a house sells quickly. Staging helps potential buyers see themselves in the space without distractions from the previous owners’ decorating or belongings.

Did you know?

According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, adding square footage to a home can cost homeowners anywhere from $7,000 to $100,000. When adding square footage to a home, homeowners may need to knock down an interior wall or walls, the cost of which can vary widely depending on the walls being knocked down. Load-bearing walls are needed to support the home, and while such walls can be removed, homeowners may need to hire structural engineers at additional cost to orchestrate such removals. In addition, homeowners can expect to pay more when knocking down walls that contain ducts or electrical wiring. It also can be costly for homeowners whose homes are old to knock down walls. HomeAdvisor notes that the wall-removal process in old homes that contain lead paint or lath-and-plaster walls is more intricate and may cost homeowners more money.

Factors To Consider When Choosing And Applying Mulch

Homeowners may associate mulch with springtime lawn and garden care, but mulching in fall can benefit a lawn as well. According to the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, mulch protects roots against extreme temperatures, and not just those associated with summer heat waves.

Mulch is often connected with its ability to help soil retain moisture during especially warm times of the year, when mulch promotes strong roots that can help lawns and plants survive periods of extreme heat. But when applied in the fall, mulch also inhibits freezing and thawing in winter, reducing the likelihood that plants will be injured.

While applying mulch in fall can be beneficial to lawns, homeowners should first consider a few factors.

• Timing: The Morton Arboretum notes that mulch being applied as winter protection should not be applied too early in the fall, as doing so may delay the soil freezing process. Homeowners should wait until after a hard frost in the fall to apply winter mulch. In many places, hard frost will not appear until late fall.

• Texture: The Morton Arboretum recommends medium-textured mulch. Fine particles may pack down and retain

moisture that will evaporate before it reaches the plant roots. Materials that are too coarse may be incapable of holding sufficient amounts of water to benefit the soil.

• Nutrients: Humus is an organic component of soil that forms when leaves and other plant materials decompose. Organic mulches provide humus and decompose over time, adding nutrients into the soil. The Morton Arboretum recommends that homeowners use organic mulch that was composted or treated prior to application so any weeds, insects or microorganisms are killed.

• Application: Correct application of the mulch is essential. Applying too much mulch can adversely affect lawns, plants and soil. In addition, excessive application can cause decay and make lawns and plants more vulnerable to disease. Homeowners uncertain about when and how to apply mulch in the fall can consult with a lawn care professional to devise a plan that ensures their lawns and gardens hold up against winter weather.

Mulch may be widely associated with spring lawn care, but applying mulch in the fall can benefit lawns and gardens as well.


short period of time. Her memory increased by 33 percent, judgment improved by 200 percent and cognition scores went up by 300 percent. “These are outstanding functional outcomes!” reports Anthony Livingston, Rehab Director at Briar Hill.

“Progress is evident, as Yvonne is independently managing her own finances, appointments, and access to community functions. At the time of discharge, Yvonne was able to return to assisted living and to begin driving independently again!”

What was that hidden key Shannon was able to turn in Yvonne? Yvonne recognizes now, “It was a determination to be back where I am now, to get back where I wanted to be.”

Now, Yvonne is enjoying heightened capabilities. “My German is better than ever since my mind came back. I call my cousins in Germany and I insist on speaking in German now, with my new brain. When I spoke before, I spoke simple German because I had only a fifth-grade German education. Now I can convert and speak intelligently at any level in clear, pure, high German.”

In fact, Yvonne speaks all five languages better than ever. A few months ago, she addressed an audience of 200, speaking in fluent

Latvian. And now, she is writing a book (in English) about her childhood. She

plans to renew her expired passport and travel back to Europe. The sky’s the limit!

The collaboration among skilled caregivers at The Hills combined with Yvonne’s inherently strong will, grit and determination resulted in her remarkable recovery over a period of fewer than six months. It’s about raising expectations, working to meet them, and then exceeding them, even taking chronic medical conditions and advancing age into consideration.

Yvonne’s recovery makes the message clear: You can reach higher and live better — independently and vibrantly — with the proper mix of personal determination and coordinated care.

If you were to meet Yvonne Moir today, you would discover a vivacious 78-year-old who speaks five languages, addresses large crowds

in Latvian, is writing a book, loves to drive, and plans to fly to Europe soon. You would find it hard to believe that just last fall, she was too confused, weak and ill to care for herself, or even to piece together a full sentence. What was the hidden key to her dramatic recovery?

It all began when Yvonne was hospitalized a year ago with multiple complications. Her daughter, Monica Lennon, turned to Briar Hill for Yvonne’s post-hospital rehab. Upon arriving — like most patients — Yvonne was eager to get back home to the retirement community in Mentor where she lived at the time. However, her strong will was stifled by cognitive deficits and her inability to fully articulate words and full sentences.

Innate determination was instilled in Yvonne as a 5-year-old Latvian girl in post-WWII Austria. Her family was on the move. “We moved again to Germany after the war in 1945, and I was at the age where I had to go to school, but I didn’t speak German yet. I had to learn it in first grade. I already spoke Russian, Polish and Latvian.”

By the time Yvonne turned 11 in fifth grade, she had to move again; this time to America. She was held back a year because of the language barrier, but she already had learned algebra and French. She soon learned English, too. She acclimated to American life, meeting her future husband during her senior year of high school, enjoying motherhood and a dynamic career in advertising and marketing.

Decades later, Briar Hill Speech therapist Shannon Intelisano, SLP, along with the rest of The Hills team, tapped into Yvonne’s challenge-loving nature, awakening her will to work harder toward her own recovery. “Shannon was able to overcome all of my problems by convincing me how important it was to get out of bed and to have therapy,“ Yvonne recalls.

Ohman Family Living

Yvonne’s Story: Her Awakened WILL Made the WAY

“I would say, ‘Go away, I don’t want therapy now. I’m OK.’ But I wasn’t OK and she convinced me that I needed therapy. She would ask me questions that I couldn’t answer. Then she would say, ‘See? You’re not good.’ She was firm but always gentle

in her approach. I have had nothing but excellent care here.”

Yvonne — like other patients — was eager to return home from her rehab stay. Yet upon transitioning back into her retirement community in Mentor, there was a critical issue at hand: effectively managing her cardiac medications. The director of nursing from the home care division of Briar Hill — the Hills at Home — informed the family of the implication of her cognition struggles with the task at hand. They collectively agreed to a seamless transition back at Briar Hill’s rehab.

Upon return and after continued treatments, Yvonne made remarkable improvements within a

How To Prepare Your Lawn And Garden For Winter

Winter weather can be harsh. Homeowners who spend much of the year tending to their lawns and gardens may worry that winter will undo all of their hard work. Though homeowners cannot do anything to prevent snow, wind and ice from affecting their properties, they can take various steps to prepare their lawns and gardens for whatever winter has in store.

• Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their lawns. Scotts®, an industry leader in lawn care, notes that mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en masse, doing so in the early stages of fall should be possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. Scotts® recommends mulching the leaves to dime-size pieces to a point where half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer.

• Rake leaves as they start to fall more heavily. Once leaves begin to fall more heavily, rake them up and add them to compost piles. The resource GardeningKnowHow.com notes composting leaves creates a dark, rich and organic matter that can add nutrients to garden soil and loosen compacted earth. Leaving leaves on the lawn once they start to fall in great numbers makes it hard for grass blades to breathe, and the leaves can block moisture from reaching the soil, which needs water to maintain strong roots. In addition, potentially harmful pathogens can breed on damp leaves left on a lawn, and such bacteria can cause significant damage to the turf over time.

• Apply a winterizing fertilizer. Winterizing fertilizers can help lawns store food they need to survive through winter and also can help them bounce back strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated for cool-season grasses such as fescue and bluegrass and are often best applied after the final cut of fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant in winter, so homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses won’t want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. Homeowners who don’t know which type of grass they have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing fertilizer should consult with a lawncare professional before fertilizing.

• Remove annuals from the garden. Annuals won’t be coming back in spring, so it’s best to remove ones that are no longer producing from the garden before the arrival of winter. Doing so can prevent the onset of fungal diseases that may adversely affect the garden in spring.

Fall is the perfect time for homeowners who spend months making their lawns and gardens as lush as possible to take steps to prepare such areas for potentially harsh winter weather.

Design A More Functional PantryMany homeowners wish they had

more storage space, and kitchens are one area where people seemingly can always use more storage.

Despite a desire for more kitchen space, until recently, kitchen pantries fell out of favor. Builders and architects may have thought that close proximity to supermarkets as well as multi-use cabinets in kitchens would offset the need for pantries. But according to a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders, a kitchen pantry is the most desirable kitchen feature for buyers in the market for a new home.

According to a 2016 survey from R e p o r t L i n k e r, 98 percent of Americans say cooking at home is their preferred way to prepare a meal. And despite the wide array of restaurants, prepared meals and fast food options nearby, more than one-third of people cook at home daily, with nearly 50 percent cooking between three and six days a week.

In order to accommodate for spending more time in the kitchen, homeowners are directing additional attention to kitchen preparation and storage features. In fact, one recent trend in kitchen renovations is creating custom-designed pantries.

Locate the appropriate spaceIdeally, pantries should be in or

adjacent to the kitchen. But not every home layout allows for this setup. Some homeowners need to move storage pantries into the garage, the basement or a mud/laundry room.

Various factors should be considered before placing a pantry outside a kitchen. What is the climate? Will food spoil? Is there a possibility that vermin or insects can infiltrate the room and access food? These factors will dictate whether to have closed

cabinets, air-tight bins or open shelves or if other modifications must be made to the room prior to building.

Choose the type of pantryAccessibility is essential in a pantry.

Everything should be easily reached and grabbed as needed without having to move too many things. Ideally, foods should be arranged in a single layer so that all items can be viewed at a glance. Shelves of various depths and heights can accommodate items of different sizes. Adjustable shelves are ideal because they can be modified as

foods change. S l i d i n g drawers can improve reach in cabinets.

In smaller spaces, French d o o r - s t y l e r e a c h - i n cabinets are c o n v e n i e n t and flexible. In complete k i t c h e n r e m o d e l s or new constructions,

walk-in pantries offer the most space and flexibility.

Must-have featuresPantries serve different functions in

different homes. For the bulk shopper, a pantry with plenty of room for large items will be needed.

Lighting can be beneficial in all pantries. Lights can improve visibility when trying to locate items. Others prefer an outlet for charging hand-held vacuums or other small appliances. Counter space in the pantry enables homeowners to unload groceries directly onto pantry shelves.

For pantries located outside of the kitchen, built-in freezers can maximize storage possibilities, especially for those who freeze-and-eat after bulk shopping ventures.

Pantries are popular features that homeowners can customize depending on their storage needs and the amount of time they spend in their kitchens.



Wrestling with GodBy Roger Kruse

I have wrestled a good many opponents in my lifetime. My first match was in fifth g r a d e a g a i n s t

an older boy. My teacher, Mr. Siberski, was pumped with my victory. At Solon High School I managed to win a lot of matches, but lost the one that mattered most. In college I had the dubious privilege of wrestling two NCAA c h a m p i o n s . T h e outcome was less than successful. My most unexpected competition took place in India back in 1976. I was on a mission trip with o t h e r s e m i n a r y students. We were visiting a graduate school in Karnataka w h e n s u d d e n l y I f o u n d m y s e l f preparing to go up against their champion. The result was good for the USA guy. My last serious attempt to wrestle was against my nephew Tyler over 20 years ago when I was 40-something. My neck was so stiff and sore the next day, I knew it was time to retire.

There is nothing easy about the sport of wrestling. It requires balance, quickness, strength, toughness and perseverance. I usually cut 15-20 pounds of body weight to reach my desired weight class. That necessitated a very restricted diet (a lot of soup and jello) and plenty of sweaty workouts. When you are on the mat, it is just you and the other guy. There is no hiding. Your performance is your own for everyone to see.

Perhaps the most famous wrestling match to ever take place is described in the Bible. In Genesis 32 we read that Jacob wrestled with God. Actually, theologians debate over just who the “man” was who Jacob wrestled with all night. Some believe it was an angel while others (including Jacob himself ) believe he was God in human form. Indeed, this theophany, or visible manifestation of God, could well be an appearance of Jesus before his miraculous birth to Mary.

If you know anything about the life of Jacob, you remember him as a deceiver, a

manipulator, and a self-serving man. As Jacob sought the blessing of God during

his wrestling match, he was asked what h i s n a m e w a s . Seems like a silly question, yet God w a s r e m i n d i n g J a c o b ( w h i c h means “grasper”, or “supplanter”) that his efforts to trust in himself must give way to a new surrender to God. Jacob, the schemer, could no longer live by his own wits. The Lord was calling him to yield himself and put his whole-hearted trust in God. This message was reinforced in two ways. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, which means “let God rule” and Jacob was left with a permanent limp

from a displaced hip which would always remind him of his reliance and dependence upon God.

You and I may not be schemers like Jacob. However, we are all prone to go our own way, independent from God. We try to live life on our own terms and in our own strength. Often, it is only when we are confronted with our human limitations and mortality that we look for divine help. We wrestle with God’s Lordship over us. We want to want to do it, “my way!” Consequently, we struggle, scramble, and stonewall the One who made us and has authority over us. If only we would recognize how much God loves us. He wants the best for you and me. He desires to bless us and guide us down life’s most meaningful pathways. The Lord has an eternal perspective and always acts to give us gifts that last forever. If you find yourself in a wrestling match, and grow weary of the struggle, simply invite God to take over. His “plans are good and not to harm you, but to give you a future and a hope.” This is one match that you actually win by losing. Unfortunately, Roger Kruse still wrestles with God. His fallen, human nature still wants to be in control. Nevertheless, the Lord gently brings him back where he needs to be, trusting in the Him!

The White JonasBy John Gingerich

In 1809, a 21-year-old Amish man named Jonas Stutzman, accompanied by his uncle Bishop Jacob Miller (1754-1835)

and aunt Anna (nee Stutzman; 1755-1814), made the journey by Conestoga wagon from Somerset County, Pa., to what are now Tuscarawas and Holmes counties. While the Miller family settled near the Sugarcreek area, Stutzman journeyed further west, eventually establishing himself in a forest clearing near what is now Walnut Creek.

Jonas Stutzman, ancestor to many Geauga County Amish, thus became not only the first white person to permanently settle in what is now Holmes County, but is also considered to be the founder of the Holmes County Amish settlement. In addition to many stories about the early experiences of this Amish pioneer, Stutzman also later became well known for his eccentric beliefs and style of dress, which would earn him the nickname of “Der Weiss” (The White) Jonas Stutzman.

Although the buffalo no longer wandered the lush valleys of the Walnut Creek area by the time of the Amish arrival, their well-worn trails provided a convenient means of travel for these pious pioneers. Jonas Stutzman selected a 160-acre parcel of land conveniently located by one of these trails, which had become an Indian pathway, later a main wagon route, and now as Route 39 is one of the busiest stretches of highway in Holmes County.

This heavily forested wilderness, with its rich, loamy soil and sloping hillsides covered with black walnut, chestnut, maple, poplar, beech and hickory trees, came to be known as a “Little Switzerland.” The stream flowing through the valley was named Walnut Creek, as was the village that developed from these humble beginnings.

Young Jonas stayed with his Aunt Anna and Uncle Jacob Miller by Sugarcreek, and daily walked the five or six miles to clear and develop his new homestead. One day, he

suffered a broken thighbone while clearing some timber. He hobbled the distance to his aunt and uncle’s cabin, using improvised crutches and a leg sling made of hickory bark and pieces of cloth torn from his shirt. His Aunt Anna set the bone, his Uncle Jacob fashioned a splint, and Jonas returned to Somerset County to heal.

Returning in the spring of 1810, and soon after completing the construction of his cabin, new neighbors began to arrive in the Walnut Creek area from Somerset County, bearing such well known Amish family names as Troyer, Yoder, Hershberger, Gerber, Mast, etc. After creating temporary shelters, or sometimes occupying huts abandoned by the Native Americans, the new settlers began the hard work of clearing land and building more permanent living quarters and structures for animals and storage.

In 1812, Jonas Stutzman married Magdalena Gerber (1794-1840), whose

family had just arrived in a new Amish settlement just south of Canton, Ohio. The Walnut Creek Amish settlement had by then grown to 25 families.

This wilderness area was still home to a population of Native Americans. Although there were sporadic threats or rumors of trouble between these pacifist settlers and the Indians, there were no serious incidents. However, one particular native stood out from the rest. This elderly Indian named Tom Lions (or Lyons) claimed that, as a young man, he had participated in the infamous Hochstetler “massacre” of 1757, in which Jacob Hochstetler’s wife, daughter and son were killed, and Jacob and two of his sons were taken captive (see “Plain Country” article “The Amish Arrive in America” in the June 6, 2018 issue). Half a century later, Lions was living in a hut along a small stream near Berlin, Ohio, which is still called Lions Run. He was reputed to have a string of dried tongues, and when angered would threaten to add the offending person’s tongue to his collection. He bragged about enjoying killing the German women while they screamed “Herr Yesus! Herr Yesus!” (Lord Jesus!). Lions disappeared around 1820, amid rumors that he had been killed, with several locals mentioned as potential suspects.

Holmes County was officially created in 1825, with 67 Amish landowners listed as residents. By 1850, there were four Amish church districts in Holmes County.

In addition to the distinction of being the first white settler in Walnut Creek, providing the community with its first sawmill, and also serving as a teacher for a number of years, Jonas Stutzman left his mark on Amish history in another peculiar way, which earned him the nickname of “Der Weiss” (The White) Stutzman. Stories about his eccentricities are still being told and retold among the Amish.

At some point, probably in the late 1840s, Stutzman became convinced of the imminent second coming of the Messiah, who would make His appearance in 1853, in Holmes County! To prepare for this event, Jonas made a “throne” for the Lord to sit on. It was actually an over-sized chair, which is now on display at the Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center (Behalt) in Berlin, Ohio. In addition, Jonas began wearing white clothing. There are various versions of how he concluded that the wearing of white garments was essential for salvation, but he did write in a pamphlet published in 1852 that “high (fancy) colors are carnal” and “I have seen in the spirit that there are but three colors for the children of God; the fallow, gray and white.” One story handed down through the writer’s family is that Jonas had a vision while attempting to see his future by visiting the farm animals on “Old” Christmas Eve (Jan. 5). While engaging in this superstitious practice of that era, the devil appeared before him, warning him that unless he wore white from that point on, the devil would snatch his soul away.

Stutzman, although wearing white clothing and having unusual ideas, remained in good standing with the Amish Church. He made furniture later in life, and one of the prize possessions of the Geauga Amish Historical Library is a chair made by “Der Weiss” Jonas. Jonas Stutzman passed the earthly scene on Oct. 18, 1871, at the age of 83.

The Holmes County Amish settlement founded by Jonas Stutzman has continued to thrive, and is virtually tied in size with the Lancaster, PA, Amish community, with over 280 church districts and a population of about 36,000. Our Geauga County Amish settlement also originated from Holmes County, the subject of our next article.

Hello from HuntsburgBy William Bender

Aug. 30, 2018: Want to get this out of my way, but don’t know what I will get on this paper.

Mrs. John Troyer passed away and her funeral was on Tuesday. Then, a former Huntsburg resident passed away on Sunday, Mrs. Crist Fisher Esther. She grew up on Burton Windsor Road. She was a widow for a few years.

Most of the second crop of hay is in the barns, and the thrashing is done. And it is about time to start filling silo. By the looks of it, Fall is on the way. I do not mind Fall. To me, it is the best season. It is what comes after that … cold, snow, wind that I object to. But if I want to live in Huntsburg, I have to put up with the weather. I do not want to live where we have all this heat year-round. So, when it gets cold, I will just stay in by the stove. But that makes long days.

I hope the warm weather is behind us for this year. The last few days it was not hard to lose a lot of sweat. But the inch and a half of rain last evening cooled us off a little.

Tuesday, school bells will start ringing. Robbie will be in the eighth grade. The grandchildren are coming out of school fast. Here, I was afraid I would not live till I got out of school. I used to think that once I am out if school, no more worries. How wrong.

Elsie and some of her daughters were here to clean house. That gives Anna a big lift. The children take turns to clean our house. I feel sorry for the childless couples. The grandchildren who live here save us a lot of steps.

Sister Becky was in South Dakota at the Ortman Clinic. She comes home sometime today. I made a few phone calls today as we want to be out there the week of Oct. 15. Our old Doctor Lon retired. We had one of the young doctors the past two years. I am not sure how many trips we made out there … 10 or 12, maybe more.

Labor Day weekend is coming. Not sure what we will be doing. One thing to do is the laundry, if it doesn’t rain.

I pushed these buttons long enough. I will ring off for this time.
