D BLOUGH Richmond Hill and Vicinity In our eregrinations to and fro in the work in which wo live, we often meet “ the man on the street." \V'e give him a nod of slight recognition, pass on, and forget him. If we knew something of his parentage. hirth, ed- ucation, or. the activities of his early history, he would he, to us an object of far greater interest and perhaps of much 1;: eater respect. \Ve live fast in these days. Events oi the past. would be crowded out of memory hut for the historian who gives the youth of the present day the experience of the past without its grey hairs, wrinkles and angularities. The writer once heard a. young asâ€" pirant to office abruptly address an aged member of the society with which both Were connected, with the question, “ \Vhat good have you ever done I” ” Long years before that youth was born, when church building in our village was a work of great selfâ€"denial, and indomitable perseverance, with no gigantic church debt to assist, that veteran, in every laudable undertak- ing, helped to lay the foundation and raise the superstructure of the ‘ very church whose privileges that young man then enjoyed. The pionâ€" eers of our civilization are soon for- gotten, but as Shakespeare somewhere observes, “Instructed by the antiquarian. Time, Man must,hc is,he cannot but he wise.” Some yeais age there resided in our village an intelligent German. He was a good conversationalist, so that in various calls at the home of the writer, his early history was elicitedâ€" a shoit sketch of which it is proposed to give in a couple of columns of THE ‘ LIBERAL, with the kind permission of the editor. A,â€" Our German friend was horn in Vertemburg, Germany, Sept. 5th, 1810. During the first fourteen years of his life he attended Public and High Schools, was sent to college and he- cume a. student in the University at Tuberguux. After two years’ study, much against his pm'eutrs’ wish, who intended him for a prufesaionul life, he cuncludcd his schuol days. During his attendance at these sources of ed- ucation h: hzul learned to speak fluent:- ly German, French, Latin, Helm-cw and Greek. He had to come to Amer- ica fu learn English, the most di‘ficult of all, ‘ gress at \Vurtemburg for ten years. 1 In 1834 our soldier resolved to start for America, where he arrived in the ’ best of health and a well filled pocket. Refusing several offers of good situa- tions, and spending his money freely, he soon found himself without means, and a stranger in a strange, land. Something had to be done. He en- listed in the United States Army, with the New York Volunteers, under Captain Taylor, and was sent to Flor- ida to fight the Indians. \Vith the Indians several severe. engagements were fought, and many of his fellows filled soldiers’ graves. On Christmas Day, 1837, a deputa- , tion of Indians waited on Captain Taylor and iequested a conference at Otochope with their chiefs on the question of peace with the. Govern- ment. They were assured that, there was no intention of treachery and that I the whole anin might accompany the officers. The army went, 500” in num- ber. 0n the hunks of the river the soldiers stacked their arms and knelt to drink at the stream. The Indians, who were concealed in the tree-tops on the opposite hank, fired, killing 133 at one shot. \Vhile the army was in confusion the Indians escaped. OnJanuai-y 25th, 1348, in another attack on the Indians, our soldier re- ceived a bullet, from a sharpshooter, which he still carries in his body as a souvenir. Ai’terhc again became fit for duty he was stationed at Fort Dena. He was sent as an eseort twelve miles from the Fort. The company consisted of seventeen men with ain- V\’hen he left the University he had a strong inclination to be :1 soldier. This ambition was inherited from his parents, their ancestors having been prominent in military circles. His uncle was Colonel Rampacher, Serâ€" geant-General in the German Army. Our friend entered the military school Where he remained until the war ln-nke out between Turkey and Greece. He enlisted and fought against the Turks. The. war ended, he. got his discharge. and returned home. During Lhe exciting scenes of 1830, when Belgium was struggling for its Independence, he thought it all favor- able opportunity to again enjoy a. soldier’slife. He again enlistel. He was in sereml engagements and in the battle of Antwerp, but fortunately came through unharmed. On pence being proclaimed he returned home. On his arrival he fuun’d his father at, the point of death. At the time of his death his father was Mayor 0f Nur- demer, and had been Member of Con- rfirfiwisions drawn by mules. The night being dark and the The Gen" :1 H 591mm. “'M. HA RRISON. $5 I 7 smztiao’s, Liberty ; in all things, Charity.” roads muddy, they encamped. Ex- pecting no trouble with the Indians at that place, they left their muskets in the wagon. Thelndizins stole. a march ‘ 0n them at midnight, secured all their arms :Lnd ammunition and without warning: shot sixteen 0f the escort. Our soldier escaped in the darkness, returned to camp and reported. “'ith the rank of sergeant prefixed to his name, he was ordered by the com- mander of the Fort to take twenty men and pursue, the. midnight assass- ins. When they arrived at the. place the Indians were gone. Their dead companions only were there. These they buried as decently as they could, and continued the pursuit. Overtak- ‘ing the hand, eighteen in number. ‘ they killed fifteen at one volley. Tak- ing three prisoners they hanged them on the nearest tree.

To the late Jacob Lahmer, Esq.,fx-om the council of Zion Lutheran church of which he was a. member. A g1 east cloud has o’er-shadowed us 2 a. light has departed from our midst ', a form we loved has been taken. He, whose words so often cheered and en- couraged us has gone from us forever. God, in His wise Providence, has re- moved our beloved COâ€"WOI'kOl‘ and his. voice is hushed in the unbroken still» ness of death. Although this good man has not fallen in life‘s radiant springtime, nor yet amid the strength of its summer, but in the maturity of its golden autumn, yet to us, as a church council, who through so many years have enjoyed his wise counsels, his inspiring presence, and his faithful services, his death seems untimely; and it saddens us to meet the solemn fact that We shall see his face no more in the flesh. Yet we believe that though the body, active and vigorous through so many years, is cold and lifeless; though his busy brain and loving heart have been paralyZed by the icy hand of (loath; though the spirit has deserted its house of clay and returned to the God who gave it â€"â€"still he lives; all that made his life serviceable is imperishuhle, therefore, ( d returned to the God who gave it â€"still he lives; all that made his life serviceable is imperishahle, therefore, Resolved that we cherish his mem- ory as one who has only gone before, and who will be ready and waiting to. greet us, as he was Wont to greet us here, as we shall go up to our reward. Resolved that. we chronicle his fidel- ity to the Work of the church, emulate his example, and prove ourselves worthy of this mantle that has now fallen upon us. Resolved that We tendm‘ thv sorrow- stl‘icken friends our deepest sympathy in their bereavement, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the fumin us a. token of on! sympathy, and that thov be recorded on the minute buck of the church.
