Notes for I Peter AESCHLIMANN:Peter Aeschlimann immigrated to America in 1834, sailing from France and eventually settled inWayne Co.,OH. No source indicates if his three sons immigrated at this time. Christian would havebeen 18. The motivation for immigration may have been to avoid compulsary military service, acommon reason for immigration among European Mennonites at this time. Some sources say Peter'swife Katie died in Switzerland before Peter came to America, but in the Aeschliman family Bible,Christian records, "In the year of our Lord 1847 on Nov 16, my mother died". Further data unavailable.Peter and Catherine were married on a farm called Schlatthof in the Gemeinde Parrish,Switz. Source:Delbert Gratz.

Notes for Christian AESCHLIMAN:"After the Aeschlimann family came to America for awhile they lived in Wayne County, Ohio, andeventually entered a tract of government land in German township, Fulton County. It was all in timberand the surroundings were wild. There was an old log cabin on the place, and it evidently had beenused as a stable. It was in that hut Christian Aeschliman and his wife had to make their abode forawhile. He was a typical pioneer, and resolutely applied himself to the great task of clearing hisproperty of timber. Eventually he owned 160 acres, most of which was cleared, and upon which heerected adequate out-buildings, and a commodious, comfortable residence". Land was cleared,buildings constructed and the country developed through the cooperative helpfulness amongneighbors. Chris was a good carpenter and builder. He gained renown as a barn framer and barnraiser. The only blueprint was in his head. Trees from land in the area were used. The logs were notsawed in these early years, but were hewed by hand, using a broad axe and adz. Other basic toolswere a couple of chisels (a mortise chisel and a corner chisel), some mauls, mallets, beetles (a beetlewas a heavy mallet weighing about 40 pounds especially built and strengthened with iron hoopsaround the large pounding end) and a small auger for boring holes to insert wooden pins which wereused instead of nails to fasten the framed timbers together. Depending on which part of the barn theywere used, the girders or beams were 4"x4" or larger, some six to nine inches thick. The main girder,about twelve to eighteen inches thick, was usually the heart of the barn. The four or five framed orbraced sections (also called bents) for the side walls were fashioned by the framer on the ground inpreparation for raising day. These sections were sturdy and very heavy for a two-story barn. When itcame time to raise these sides onto the foundation, neighbors for miles around (perhaps one hundredto two hundred men) were invited to a barn raising. They brought their own pike poles which wereabout 16 feet long. The poles had pike pins on one end to keep the frame, or bent, from slipping. Oncommand, all the men would push the section up with these pike poles. The barn raiser stood on thewalls, or framework, and rode up on them while they were being pushed up into place. A barn raisingwas an event looked forward to. Families came--the men raised the barn, the women prepared thefood, the children played. Hard work? Of course. But a gathering for work, fellowship and fun. Chrisbuilt bank barns, two stories tall, about 60 to 80 feet long and 35 to 40 feet wide with an A-shaped roof.There was a lean-to roof on one end of the barn. Its purpose was primarily to shelter a team of horsesand a wagon-load of ear corn or other grain in the event of rain. The roof also provided shelter forother horse-drawn equipment. Cows, horses, and other livestock were sheltered on the ground floorbelow the hay and straw which were stored on second floor. In the center of this top floor, space wideenough for a threshing floor was allowed, with hay and straw stored on each side. The threshing flooralso served as a run-way for horse drawn hay wagons. To get the wagon to the second floor, a hill ofdirt was banked up on one side of the barn--hence the name, bank barn. This side of the barn wasbuilt of stone at least to the top of the bank of dirt. When the hay or straw had been unloaded, thewagon was backed out and down the bank. Often a machine for threshing would be placed on thethreshing floor. The grain fell into a hopper, or a grain bagger from which men carried bags of grain tostorage bins. Straw and chaff was blown through a pipe which extended out the other side of the barnwhere a straw stack would be made for livestock. The story is told that one time Chris was building abarn and, for some reason unknown to us now, another man took over. When the walls were all puttogether on the ground and were ready to raise, the men with their pike poles were all there but simplycouldn't get the sides up. Then someone said, "Well, we've got to get old Aeschliman to raise thisbarn." Chris must have been a stern talker. He gave the men a good talking to and then said, If I'vecome to raise this barn, we're going to raise it." Then he stood on the wall and called, "He-e-e-e, Ho-o-

Aeschliman

o-o He-e-e-v-e" and up it went, set squarely upright in place on the foundation. Christian and VerenaA. had 15 children, three of whom died quite young. When the rest were grown, Chris gave each ofthem $1000. Some perhaps all, invested in land. Joel and Jonathan went to Missouri where land wascheaper and settled there. Leah, Livina, and Elisa also married and settled in Missouri. Emeline andRebecca never married. Emeline lived with Jonathan and his wife, Mary, until their deaths. Nathaniel,Theophilus and Elias stayed in Ohio, as did Rebecca (Becky), Catharine and Mary.Note from Adeline Aeschliman: When the Christian (?? or Jacob)Frey family was asked to stand to be counted to leave France, Christian Aeschliman stood with theFrey family and came over with them. He later married Verena Frey, their daughter.

Christian emigrated with his father at age 18...sailed from France in 1834 and settled in Wayne CountyOhio.

five years. To this union were born 4 children (Mrs. Arthur Hartzler, Mrs. John I. Yoder, J. Arch Yoderand a son who died in infancy). His home was a very happy one and God blessed it in many ways.Many fond memories of it will be cherished by the children, more and more as the years go by andmany pleasant hours spent together will be fondly remembered by the grandchildren, of whom thereare 15. In youth he united with the South Union Mennonite Church, in which faith he remained faithfulall through the years. He will be missed in his accustomed place there, where he enjoyed coming aslong as health permitted. His greatest sorrow came when his devoted companion was taken from himon Oct. 10, 1924; and though he enjoyed very much the frequent visits of his children, of hisgrandchildren, and his friends, and though he was so lovingly and tenderly cared for by his family andvery faithful housekeeper, Margaret Plank, during all his illness, yet the heavenly home above heldmore attraction for him than his earthly home here below. When he realized that the days of his lifewere few, he was glad that God would have it so.

Notes for Artenius E. "Teen" or "Ed" AESCHLIMAN:From Artenius Aeschliman's son, Jonathan, "The explanation about the 'Ed' name for Dad was thatAlphy Aeschliman was 'A. Aeschliman' and Artenius Aeschliman was 'A. Aeschliman' and the postmanmixed up their mail a lot --- so Dad simply added the 'E' to help out. Then when they moved to theBrush Creek area, he the 'E' in and his neighbors called him 'Ed'; but it was probably not the name hisfolks gave him.

1918 THREE KILLEDThree Victims of Accident are Perry Nofziger, Alma Grieser and Eve Burkholder

Five Cousins Victims of Auto Accident at Archbold Sunday that Proves Fatal toThree - Perry Nofziger, Alma Grieser, Eva Burkholder. One of: the most shockingaccidents of recent years in Fulton county was that which occurred last Sundaynight on the Main street crossing of the New York Central railway in Archbold.Five young people; all cousins, were returning to their homes in a Fordautomobile after having spent the day with an uncle, Mr. Peter Burkholder inArchbold. They were driving north through Archbold and at the New YorkCentral crossing were compelled to stop to allow an east bound freight train topass. Witnesses state that it was between 8:30 and 9:15 when the accidentoccurred and the gateman was not on duty; it is also stated by some that anautomobile preceded the one in which the young people were riding and crossedthe tracks immediately after the freight train had passed. The auto in which theyoung people were riding followed the first auto, but the step on the engine of thesecond section of fast passenger train No. 48, west bound, caught the rear end oftheir auto, carrying it about 100 feet, killing the three occupants of the rear seatand injuring the occupants of the front seat. The dead are: Perry Nofziger, son ofMrs. Eli Nofziger, instantly killed, body badly mangled; Alma *Gireser, 22;daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Grieser, instantly killed; body,. torn and: broken;Eve Burkholder,22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Burkholder .of Pettisville,injured so badly that she was unconscious and died about, an hour after theaccident occurred in the office of Dr. I. L. Coy. The occupants of the front seat,who escaped with their lives, were: Harvey Grieser, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan*Grisier, whosustained bruises on the head. and body, but was able to walk about, and BerthaBurkholder, 20,daughter of. Mr. and Mrs. David Burkholder, sister of Eve Burkholder, who waskilled, who suffered asevere shock, but sustained no visible injuries. The dead and injured were taken tothe nearby office ofDr. I. L. Coy, from which place the dead were; taken to the undertaking rooms.The deepest sympathyis felt by the entire countryside for the families into which death has come in asudden and shocking manner.ENGAGED COUPLE BURIED SIDE BY SIDEThree Victims of Accident are Perry Nofziger, Alma Grieser and Eve BurkholderFuneral of Three Victims of Accident Held At Same Time and Burial In the SameCemeteryProbably the1argest number of persons that ever attended a burial in this countyassembled at the Eckley cemetery Wednesday, April 10th, to inter the bodies ofthe three young people who were sosuddenly snatched from life to death in the crossing accident in Archbold, Sundayevening, April 7th.The funerals of the three victims of cruel fate were held at the three separate

homes of their parents at10:00 a.m. after which the three corteges met-at the cemetery at one time wherethe three bodies wereviewed by all who wished; before they were laid side by side in their final restingplaces. The funeral of Perry Nofziger, 28, was held at the home of his mother Mrs.Eli Nofziger, north of Pettisville. The funeral of Alma Grieser, 22, was held *otthe home of her parents Mr. And Mrs. Simon Grieser north of Archbold. Thefuneral of Eve Burkholder, 22, was held at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs.Burkholder south of Pettisville. The body of Alma Grieser presented a most pitifulappearance; more especially as the body of promised husband Perry Nofziger layin a coffin beside her. Instead of a happy wedding the couplewere dead and mourned instead of *congratnlated by their friends. Their bodieswere placed inadjoining graves to be near each other in eternal repose. By ministers of theAmish-Mennonite congregations. There are no words to convey the greatsympathy which the people of this vicinity feel for the relatives and friends of thedeparted. The sorrows of the community are small indeed in comparison with thegrief of those nearer and dearer to the loved ones that have gone before.THREE YOUNG PEOPLE KILLED TWO STRANGELY ESCAPED DEATH(1918)Five in Auto Struck By Fast Passenger Train At Archbold Main Street Crossing,Sunday Evening -Two Killed Instantly; One Died ShortlyThe dead:PERRY NOFZIGER, 28, son of Mrs. Eli Nofziger of Archbold, Instantly killed.Body badly mangled.ALMA GRIESER, 22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Grieser.

At 8:30 Sunday evening five young people were in PerryNofziger’s Ford. They were going north and had stopped at the N. Y. C. crossingin Archbold to allow an east-bound freight to pass. When the freight, had passedthey drove across the track, in spite of the warnings of bystanders, as it was pastthe watch man's hours. They drove upon the other track at just the right time to bestruck by the west-bound second section of fast passenger train No.43.The: locomotive struck the rear of the auto carrying it about 100 ft., The threewere crushed and. killed while the two in the front seat escaped death. Thepassenger train stopped and the crew did, what they could to help. The dead andinjured were taken to the nearby office of Dr. I. L. Coy, from which place thebodies of the dead were removed and given over to the undertakers. The cousinshad been spending Sunday at the home of their uncle Mr. Peter Burkholder inArchbold They were on their way to their homes when the accident *occured.Upon examination of the auto in which the three in the rear seat met death on thecrossing in Archbold, Sunday evening, it is easy to see that the three in the rearseat were scooped out of the machine and carried along and crushed by thecylinder heads and wheels of the locomotive while those in the in the *seas were
