H istory Of ‘Dallas
(Continued From Last Week)
“The old Leonard Meadows Or
Leonard Clearing was then about as
it is now, but John Leonard had
‘moved away when we came. The
original forest covering Dallas town-
ship was very heavy. There was a
growth of very large pine trees, many
of them 150 to 200 feet high. There
was also oak, mapple, chestnut -and
hemlock in abundance. There were
many other kinds of woud, but these
predominated. There were no
worked roads or bridges when we
first went to Dallas. The.best roads
we had were simply the natural
ground with the trees and brush cut
so as to let a gadon through. The
woods were full of game of all kinds
—bears, deer, wild turkeys, etc.
Wolves were very thick, too. There
were no Indians in Dallas when we
went there, but I have heard McCoy
tell about seeing them, when he rtirst
moved in, as they went from tbe val-
ley, through where Dallas village now
stands, to Harvey's Lake, on their
hunting and fishing trips. Harvey’s
Lake was a grand place to hunt and
fish then. You could kill a deer al-
most any time. Many of the settlers
who came in after we did moved
away very soon ‘because the country
was so rough they could not stand it.
It was very hard for any of us to get
a living then. There was no money
going. The most important thing
‘with us was to get our roads opened
and fixed up so that the peeople could
get through the country. We were
often called by the supervisors of
Kingston to work out our road tax
on the roads in the valley, and we
had to get down there by 7 o'clock in
the morning or have our time docked.
To do this, we had to get up and eat
breakfast before daylight even in the
summer time, and they kept us at
work until sundown, so that we had
to go home in the dark also. It was
very discouraging. We could not get
supervisors to go over into the Dal-
las end of the townshipp to work the
roads, nor would they let work our
tax out there. At last we began
trying to geet a new townsipp. (This
was first tried in 1814.) We had
very hard work of that, too. The
people in the valley fought us all
they could, and we had to work three
or four years before Dallas township
was set off. Then we began harder
than ever to lay out and open roads,
and so we had to turn out and have
working bees on the roads in order to
make them even passable. Dallas
township filled up very fast after the
separation. Most of the settlers were
Jerseymen, though there were a few
Connecticut Yankees among them.
“Peter Ryman came in about 1814.
He was from Greensburg, Warren
county, New Jersey. John Honey-
well, my father’s brother, came in
the year before we did. Richard
Honeywell, another brother, came in
soon after we did. They all came
from Warren count, New Jersey. My
brothers were Joseph, Thomas and
Isaac. I had one sister, Elizabeth,
who married Eleazor Swetland,
brother of William Swetland of New
Troy (Wyoming). John Orr cane
here about the time we did. He was
a blacksmith, and used to sharpen
plowshares. He would not shoe
horses much. The only plow in use
then was the old-fashioned shovel
plow. The only iron wabout it was
the blade, which was about the shape
of an ordinary round-pointed shovel
This was fastened to the lowend of an
upright post. To the post was at-
tached handles to hold it with, and a
beam or tongue to which the teamn
could be hitched. This plow was
jabbed into the ground here and there
between the roots, stomos and stones,

and with it a little dirt could be torn
up now and then. There ewas no
patent ploy in use then, nor could it
be ustd there for many years after we
settled in Dallas. Nor could we use a
cradle for cutting grain. At that time
the ground was so rough, and there
were so many stumps and roots and!
stones that we had to harvestt at first
with a sickle.”
As narrated by Mr. Honeywell, and
as may yet be inferred from the great
number of large pine stumps still seen
in the fields and numerous stump
fences about Dallas, there was at one
time ‘a species of very tall pine trees
covering that country. A very few of
them can still be seen (1886) towering
far above the other highest trees in
the woods below Dallas, near the Ry-
man and Shaver steam saw-mill, but
they are the last of their race. For
some reason they do not reproduce,
and will soon be an extinct species.
Many of them grey to a height of 175
to 200 feet, and ofteh the trunk would
be limbless for 150 feet from the
ground, with a diameter of from five
to six feet at the ground. (This state-
ment, when originally read before the
Hostorical ociety, was questioned
somewhat by Hon. Steuben Jenkins,
who was then living and present. IT
have since had some of the trees
measured, and find that my statement
as to their height is correct.)
It is difficult to fell them without
breaking them in one or two places.
They are so heavy and have so few
limbs to retard their fall, or to pro-
tect them in striking the ground that
they come down with a terrible crash,
and any stone, stump, log or uneven-
ness on the ground where they fall is
sure to break them.
Little benefit was ever derived by
the people of Dallas from this now
valuable timber. The most important
consideration with the first settlers
was how to clear away and get rid of
the vast and impenetrable forest that
covered the entire country. Saw-mills
were built to make sufficient lumber
to supply the wants of immediate
neighbors. There was no great mar-
ket for lumber anywhere, because ail
parts of the country had mills and
lumber as abundant as it was in Dal-
las. + Futhermore, there were no roads
over which it could be conveyed, even
if there had been a 'market, so most of
it had to be cut down and burned to
the ground. |
Roads
Mr. Abram Honeywell tells me tliat |
when his father wanted a few slabs to |
cover the roof of his house in Dallas, |
they had to carry and drag them from
Baldwin’s mill at Huntsville, about |
three miles, because the roads were so |
poor a wagon could not then he driven |
between Dallas and Huntsville.
