AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
By Rev. L. M. Colfelt, D. D
I was born December 22, 1849, on
the banks of Honey Creek near
Reedsville, Pennsylvania, Kishaco-
quillas Valley, on a farm to which my
father retired at the close of his
mercantile career. Of those first four
years of my life but few things stand
out in my memory. Grandfather
Charles Colfelt sitting on the porch
reading the Bible, my mother bending
with anxiety over the cradle of my
infant brother, Willie, and saying that
he was dangerously ill, the funeral
which soon followed and the draping
of the hats of my four brothers and
myself with crepe and the burning of
my uncle’s vast barn about a mile dis-
tant constitute the chief items. It was
not so much the conflagration that en-
graved itself on my memory but the
grotesque figure a servant in the
household cut when she put on a pair
of mens’ high leather boots to wade
through the stream and the mud of
that stormy night. Upon the burning
of that barn hung perhaps the issue
of a suit in favor of my mother, in-
volving her inhertance of $50,000 from
her aunt. The will was not only con-
tested but divided the near relatives
of my mother in two acrimonious
camps. A certain individual, perhaps
in the hope if the will was broken he
might himself benefit, was particular-
ly hostiie to my mother and his testi-
mony was chiefly depended upon to
prove the mental incompetency of the
testatrix. But the incendiary origin
of the firing of Davis Bates’ barn and
the suspicion that revenge for this
active zeal of this brother in his sis-
ter’s behalf had inspired it, so incensed
him that from an enemy he turned
friend and at the trial to the astonish-
ment of everybody he testified that he
was witness of the instrument and
that “the maker of the will was never
saner in her life.”
validity of the testament. On such
small happenings do great events
turn. - In this same period of earliest
childhood I recall how my father, on
mounting a skittish horse to ride to
Lewistown was still in sight when a
vicious dog, from a neighbor’s yard bit
at the horses heels and so frightened
him that he threw my father. His
foot caught in the stirrup and he was
dragged back to the house. Happily
the distance was small and he escaped
injury. But though a child I was
transfixed with terror. Another inci-
dent is connected with that period.
My father, on a visit to Lewistown,
was accosted by a Gypsy woman who
asked to tell his fortune. Pronounced
religious scruples led him to rank her
with the witch of Endor and to say he
did not believe she possessed the pow-
ers she claimed. She answered “I will
tell your fortune gratis so far as to
acquaint you with the fact that un-
known to you, a man is stealing gro-
ceries from your house under your
very nose.” In the closet large quan-
tities of sugar, coffee and spices were
stored. On setting a watch early the
next morning, (Sunday), a man liv-
ing in my father’s tenant house across
the stream appeared and was caught
loading a wheelbarrow with supplies.
That which stamped the incident on
my memory was not the singular ful-
fillment of the Gypsy’s warning but the
the fact that, the man, fearing arrest,
decamped that same day with his fam-
ily from thz tenant house and fled.
From Kishacoquillas Valley my
father removed to a five hundred acre
tract of land close to Bedford, drawn
thither by the fame of the Springs
and the healthfulness of the region.
Here, with a slight intermission when
my father lived in Canonsburg for the
purpose of sending my three older
brothers to college, I spent for the
most part, my youth up to my 17th
year when I also was sent to Jeffer-
Ton college. Here amid the foot-
hills of the Alleghenies, I lived an
ideal boy's life in the country. My
father farmed on a large scale and we
five boys when not going to school as-
sisted always in the lighter labors of
the soil. My toil consisted largely in
planting and setting up corn and other
crops in the springtime, following the
hay pitchers with the rake, riding the
2-seated mower to clean out the
knives, hand sheaves to the knee-
placer in the mows, tramp hay, pick
potatoes, gather apples and turn the
grindstone. School always came first
but on Saturdays and vacation time in
summer, we were not allowed to while
our time away in idleness. But we
had abundant time for diversion and
there was not a ripple or deeper haunt
of fish in the stream we did not know
for the two miles my father’s lands
bordered the waters. There was not
a chestnut, hickory, walnut, butter-
nut, wild plum ot mulberry tree for
miles that we did not locate and gath-
er. As for the raspberries, blackber-
ries, wild strawberries, huckleberries,
ete., they were all abundant in their
season and drowned in rich cream
were greatly relished. Cherries, plums,
peaches, pears and apples of every de-
scription grew ad libitum. As many
as 300 bushels of the latter were
placed in the cellar in layers of leaves
This decided the |
in great boxes and all had free access.
But the most enjoyable season for us
lads was in winter with its skating,
coasting, sleighing, snaring rabbits
and partridges as well as gunning for
larger game, pigeons and ducks in
monster flocks and wild turkeys and
even deer on the mountains. I have
heard the wild cats scream. I have
seen deer come down from the moun-
tains and leap the fence to browze with
the cattle till the dogs frightened
them and never did I see a more beau-
tiful sight than those deer running
in full view across a 60 acre meadow,
antlers high and waving, until they
reached and plunged into the stream
and disappeared in the wooded hills
beyond. But while I had many pets
of my own, chickens and lambs, the
joy of my heart was to have my very
own horse that I reared and rode and
drove and speeded tomy heart’s con-
tent. The joy of life was to race with
my brothers on steeds we trained and
tended as our own peculiar property.
There was much rivalry as to who had
the fastest nag.
Those were days of which I could
sing with Harry Lauder, “I never had
lots of money but I had lots of fun.”
In fact, all the money we had must
needs be made by ourselves. The
first money I ever earned was during
the Civil War, tramping hay in the
hay press in my father’s barn, the hay
having been purchased for the mules
used by the Robert Hare Powell Fur-
nace, Saxton, Pennsylvania. With it,
I bought an excellent silver watch,
the wearing of which, bought with my
own money made me a proud young-
ster. The next money of any conse-
quence I had in my boyhood was from
sheep which my father generously al-
lowed me to pasture on his lands and
feed out of his bins. My father en-
dorsed a note of mine for $25 in Ja-
cob Reed’s bank, Bedford. With it I
bought 15 ewes at less than $2 apiece.
I was now revelling in wealth. From
imagined surpassed Jacob’s record in
the house of his uncle, Laban. Those
15 ewes had 27 lambs. The Civil War
was now on and the members of the
flock I sold brought $5 apiece so that
I was now revelling in wealth. From
these possessions in live stock I pur-
chased a mare and soon was gladden-
ed with a dear little colt. Hogs and
pigs followed. Thus did my father
wisely develop self-help, a love of
familiar animals and of farm life that
commingled with the very marrow of
my bones. But of all the animals,
none captivated me like the lambs and
many an hour I was in the Seventh
Heaven, watching them gambol and
race to and fro as the sun went down
in the western sky.
All this life of a boy from nine to
thirteen years old was simply en-
chantment. What happy hours listen-
ing to the meadow larks chanting on
the wing their orizons at the gates of
the morning and the black-birds sing-
ing to the accompaniment of the bab-
bling brook as they swung to and fro
in the wind-rocked branches of the
willows! What thoughts of the Infi-
nite, which cannot be uttered when
lying on a pile of sweet scented hay
of a summer’s evening looking up in-
to the stars and dreaming dreams that
rivalled Jacob’s as he rested upon #is
pills of stones! I'think in those days
with the mountains all girt so close
about up und down which the fogs
chased each other and the shadows
played “hide and go seek” athwart
the narrow valley and through the ra-
vines, I learned to sense keenly the
the meaning of the Basque in Spain
when he says “The Mountain is my
Mother!” Many a night I have been
so enamoured with the scene that
it was a positive trial to be compelled
to come into the house for sleep.
Several incidents stand out in this
period, one of them nearly fatal to
myself. My father sent two of his
men with four horses up the country
with a Conestoga wagon with’ its
great deep wagon bed for the purpose
of breaking two colts, each hitched
on what was called the offside. I,
then 9 years old and my brother, 11
years, climbed up into the wagon, un-
known to our parents to enjoy the fun.
Several miles from home, we arrived
at a steep hill with a house on the
crest. veral fierce dogs rushed out
and frightened the colts. The one
man had, gotten out of the wagon pre-
viously to draw the lever and scorch
the wheels. But the whole team, now
thoroughly terrified, rushed down the
hill dragging the saddle horse, on
which the driver sat, from his feet.
He had great difficulty extricating
himself. At the foot of the hill the
saddle horse scrambled to his feet and
the whole four, now without a driver
or locker, ran like mad for over a mile
with us two urchins in the bed shout-
ing tc them to stop but only adding
wings to their terror, while the boards
comprising the bed were rattled loosc
by the terribly stony road and we
could only stand on cross-sleepers and
hold on to the sides of the bed. The
jostling caused me to lose my hat and
this distressed me more than the
imminent peril I was in. They now.ran
down a hill a quarter of a mile long.
At its foot was a bridge without rail-
ings about 10 feet above the brook.
The unguided horses crossed the
bridge safely but two wheels of the
big wagon went on the bridge and two
off and the gigantic wagon with its
great deep bed rolled completely over
us two boys. My brother was unhurt.
When I came to my senses I was sit-
ting in the stream on the boards that
came from the bottom of the bed and
my brother was vainly pulling me to
my feet. Two of the horses were
standing upright and two were on
their backs struggling but helpless-
ly entangled. Kind hands lifted and
carried me to the house now occupied
by Mrs. Joseph Stayer. A doctor was
sent for and found the extent of the
damage was a hole as big as a quar-
ted of a dollar in the top of my skull
which kept me an invalid for three
honthy and is plainly visible to this
ay. :
At this period an event unrelated
to myself occurred which made an im-
pression on my boyish imagination.
The great droves of cattle and sheep
that by tens of thousands raised the
dust on the highways for miles at a
time and which often pastured by
night on my father’s lands were fast
disappearing. The Conestoga wag-
ons, ‘most picturesque of all, with
great hooded bows and feed troughs
swinging behind, with their six horses
to a wagon, 5000 of them that in their
heyday built vast hostelries and barns
from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh were
all being improved off the face of the
earth by newly built railways. The
fate of the very last one was tragic
enough. Samuel Barnhard, a celebrat-
ed teamster, was driving his six-
horsed Conestoga wagon from Hope-
well, the terminus of the H. & B. R. R.
to Bedford, loaded with 10,000 lbs. of
valuable merchandise. When he ar-
rived at the Narrows bridge over the
Juniata, a mile east of Bedford and
had reached the middle of the bridge,
he heard the timbers cracking. With
a leap to his two leaders, he lashed
them forward. The fifth chain that
attached them to the tongue broke
and he and his two front horses es-
caped while the other four and the
loaded wagon went crashing down in-
to the deep river, 20 feet below.
Strange to relate, a young country-
man, 19 years old, George Croyle by
name, witnessed the disaster and leap-
ing into the river swam to the strug=
gling, frantic horses and cut them
loose, saving the whole team. There
were no medals for heroes in those
days but surely this youth deserved
one. The gigantic wheels of this wag-
on lay for several years at the bottom
of the Narrows bridge on the river
bank and the diameter of the hubs
was so great that I recall calculating
that I could easily crawl through them
with room to spare!
