oh Ry Aa pf Be DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA.. SATURUDAY, LY jem ol Lis History Of Dallas Continued From Last Week 4 350, Sa “Apout 1825 Col. Jonathan O. Mos- ley left East Haddam and settled in Lehman on the same place with my’ father. He built the first frame house in either ‘Dallas or Lehman, which is ~ still standing on‘ the old homestead. © It wlas the marvel of the times, high ~ walls, lathed, plastered and ‘'papered. ~~ The furniture was of a. costly kind, being of solid mahogany with two good sized pier-glasses. This furniture was hauled by wagons from New York. ° “Col.Moseley was a graduate of Yale College under presidency of Theodore Dwight. He represented the district in #\ which" he lived, Middlesex, county, Conn,. sixteen years continuously in Congress. He was a polished getleman, as his education and surroundings gave him every opportunity to be. He was a good laywer, but he labored . under the mistaken idea that it would be degrading to return to his prac- tice. Col. Moseley and my father built ~ and started the first store back of ~ the mountain at Huntsville. - That was their mistake. The. goods had to be : carted from Philadelphia by wagon. + The country was’ new, money Very, scarce, and consequently a good deal of credit was given, and when accounts were due the pay was not forthcoming. After three or four years the money ~ had not been spent on the farm was in the hands of the dear people land reverses followed. Garrick Mallery, ~ Esq. bid in the farm and permitted Col. Moseley to occupy it until he re- moved to Michigan in 1839, Mr. Mal- ~~ lery being a. good friend to Col. Mose- ley. “The writer remembers deer in flocks in the woods, wolves howling at night, - bears come and drink from the spring brook. Our first near neighbor was William Newman who married Peggy Lee. He sold to ‘Governor’ Sitese, who got the title of Governor in rather an ~ amusing way. Joseph Worthington who was the only resident at Harvey's Lake was expecting the governor of Penn- sylvania to call on him on a certain day. In the morning, as he went out on his farm to work he told his ‘daughter Eliza, a ‘mischievous young lady, that when the Governor came she should call him and he would come in the back door and change his farm clothes to his store clothes. The call came, and, after Mr. Worthington had attended to his toilet, he went into the room only to meet Cornelius Sites. What added to the mmusement of the daughter was that Mr. Sites was wa raw, tall, raw-boned, un- educated man, and exceedingly homely. The title of ‘Governor never departed from him. “Governor” Sites was, how- _ ever, a clever man and good neighbor. “Our nearest school house was a {fog house situate two miles distant ~ on the road leading to Harvey's Lake through a dense woods. - The first postoffice established back of the Mountain, Waster NURSES JE WAS [1 old resident of the place. Truman Ath- i erton was the first postmaster. He was 6s appointed under John Quincy Adams’ _‘lakdministration. He held the office until about 1849 when he resigned, and Major ‘Abed Baldwin was appoint- ed as his successor. Truman Atherton occupied quite a prominent place in the respect of his neighbors, holding, “frequently, two or three township offices at the time, and represented his county two years in the legislature of Pennsylvania. “Oliver MeKeel bought a flarm ad- _ joining ours. His wife, nee Charity ' Pringle, is still living (1886) on the old “homestead now owned by their son Lewis McKeel. ~**John Linskill came from England and settled near what is called the Lin- skill school house, in Lehman, about 1830; purchased nis farm of Russel T. Green, and married: for his second wife Polly Steele. His first wife wis a sis- ter to Thomas Major, Sr. Mr. Linskill ~ worked at his trade (tailoring) in = shop near his house. He was an honest, industrious man, very' quick in his movements and decisions; of strong religious faith, rather intolerant to- wards those who differed from him. I remember very well when they were building the Christian ‘Church at Huntsville he would not look at it.and I believe never went into it; but he was a good neighbor and kind-hearted, and ‘commanded the respect of the neigh- borhood. ' “Amos Brown was one of the first . settlers of Lehman. He was living there when my father came to Pennsylvania -in 1812. He hjad two sons, and Amos; three daughters, Annis and Sybil. never married, but always lived on the old homestead. Amos, Jr. married Eleanor, youngest daughter of Jude Baldwin. Annis died young. Sybil 'mar- ried William Miajjor. Jerry was a jolly, good-hearted fellow, fond of young company. He passed through three ‘generations as a young fellow; or rather among the young folks.
