Kunkle post office, in the “‘Green
s” country, on Leonard's Creek, a
ch of Bowman’s Creek, there were
0 or three other mills. About 1840
vi Hoyt built a saw-mill there about
half mile below or north of the wvil-
of Kunkle, towards Dallas village.
11 later Wesley Kunkle built another
in the village of Kunkle which oc-
upied the site of present (1886) steam
-mill of A. Ryman & Sons. The
eam power was put in by Abram Ry-
nan in the year 1871.
The Newbury mills at Monroe, in
ent Monroe township, were erected
quite an early date, They were
ked on the map accompapying the
rt of viewers opening r.,ad from
es-Barre to Bradford county line,
, Dallas and Monroe, in 1820. Hitch-
ck & Church built another mill at
‘hurchdale,” near Kunkle, about 1840.
Still another mill was built by Eli-
h Harris about 1840, near site of pre-
t mill of Richard Ryman, at point
own as Ryman’s pond. This mill was
pplanted by a very large steam saw-
11 erected by Richard Ryman about
858. The latter burned a few years
ater, and in its place the present mill
886), run by water power, was built.
About 1834 Christopher Snyder built
distillery! and ran it for a few years.
ood near the center of the north-
stern half of lot six certified Ged-
ler and Sarah Seeley, near late
idence of Edward Hunter. Apple
key made from distilled cider was
e principal product of this and most
he other small distilleries of that
vy. Apples were then, as now, a boun-
ul crop in Dallas township.
The settlements in Dallas township
uring the first decade of this century
re not numerous; but after the close
‘the war of 1812, when the soldiers
d returned and were seeking homes,
ew impetus was given to the house-
ting and settling about Dallas.
mong those who came in the first
ade was Joseph Worthington and
fe, the latter a daughter of Jonathan
ckley. They came from Connecticut
he year 1806 and settled near Har-
v's Laake. His first house was built
logs, and soon stood about ten rods
rthwest from the late residence of
s son, late Henry Worthington, on
hill about a quarter of a mile from
eastern inlet to Harvey's Lake.
hen Mr. Worthington first moved
0 that country there was no road
ym Huntsville to Harvey's Lake
xcept a bridle path. Mr. Worthington
a way through and built a house
n his nearest neighbor was miles
ay and no clearings in sight any-
re. Wolves were then very numer-
‘and bold at night, and the only
yv Mr. Worthington could protect his
nily from their assaults was for all
climb the ladder to the second floor
pull the ladder after them. Mr
hington used to say that his life
o those early days was most lone-
disheartening.
ncerning Mr. Worthington and
er settlers in that vicinity, T can-
do better that further quote from
aluable letter of Mr. Bogardus:
Joseph Worthington was one of the
rominent men of Lehman. When he
ttled at Harvey's Lake it was a wild
ilderness. The old homestead never
parted from the family. He was
ice married. His first wife was Mrs.
Buckley, by whom he had five sons
and three daughters. Joseph L. built
house where James Myers now
886) Eliphat located in Doyles-
n. Rlijah was an editor of a Whig
\per in Wilkes-Barre. Jonathan was
shoemaker and moved to Loraine
nty, Ohio, where he died about a
ago (1885). Thomas moved to
City, Wisconsin. Nancy married
¢ Fuller. Maria married and lived
in Doylestown, Pa. Eliza married Asaph
Pratt. Elijah married Caroline Pratt.
ph and Elijah were courting each
fers sisters at the same time. The
ir lovers met at the lake one pleas-
day and proposed a sail on the
er. Thomas was also with them.
ey lashed two canoes together,putt-
ne boards across both for seats, and
old them level. They were fortun-
tely not far from shore when, by
ne mishap, the boats doubled In
d let them all in the water. Elijah
d Asaph could not swim, nor of
surse, could Carcline. Thomas being
good swimmer was rescuing them as
st as he could. Eliza said to her
lover ‘naw veu follow my direction
1 I v1" ave von and myself.” After
zet ns ‘ita nramjcp she directed him to
‘his hond on her shoulder and struck
tare, Fad she not been a swimmer
both wanld have drowned. as Thomas
) all he could do to save the other
. Not one of the fomily brought
grace to themselves or their much
pected father and mother.
r. Worthington’s second wife was
Sally Perry, a very estimable lady, by
whom: he had one son, the late Henry
hington.
