Now 100 acres, the farm includes a herd of 28 Hoi- st ems, including four 4-H project animals owned by Mr. Marsh's sonl David. The present buildings were built in 1862. The land was first settled in« 1798 by Hugh Marsh, who came from New Jersey to become the first settler hi the township. He built a log cabin beside a spring, 100 rods south of what later be- came Averill Corners, and is now known as Marshtown Corners on the Russell-Lan- der Road.

Cherry and apple blossoms are expected within a week or two. In the orchards, the dormant and green tip sprays are on, and pre-bloom sprays are now being applied. Meanwhile, a continued tight labor supply plus drops in pric- es of some products apparently is resulting in farmer plans to cut down on agreage throughout the country, and Ag- riculture Department officials were expressing concern over the trend.

John and his wife, whom he had mar- ried, in 1790, had a family of five children. In 1803, John Marsh taught the first school in Warren County in his own home at Beechwoods. The student body included his own chil- dren, those of his brother (Hugh had 16 children), and one or two others. Early School In 1805, John and Hugh Fair \ Marsh built the first school- ! house at Marshtown. Con- structed of logs with white greased paper for windows, it had a large fireplace and seats made of log slabs, con- vex side down. There "Were no desks, the students wrote with split goose quills at a narrow shelf fastened to the side of the house. An 1806 list of taxable in- habitants and property in- cluded John Marsh, 800 acres, one cow, two oxen, one "out- lot" and four "inlots" in War- ren; and Hugh Marsh, 500 acres, two cows, two oxen, one horse, three outlots and two inlots in Warren. John Marsh died in Octo- ber, 1842. His only son, Jo- seph, took over the farm. He married Ruth Sheldon in'De- cember, 1820, and they had 10 children. Misfortune struck in 1844, when three children died in March and Ruth Sheldon Marsh died in May that year. John married Betsy Kelsey Trask, who had three of his, children: Martha. Joseph A. and Betsy Marsh. Man of Few Words" Joseph, the elder, became a prominent man in the town- ship, and served 15 years as Justice of the peace. He was described as a "man of few words," deliberate, seldom provoked 'to anger, lenient toward his debtors and liberal with help where needed. He died Fj?b. 14, 1881, at the age of 86. Joseph Albro Marsh, his son, was born Feb. 19, 1850. He married Harriette Hough- wot in October, 1868. Their children were Eugene, born in 1870, now living; Cora, Marsh Reed, 1873-1944. Roy A. Marsh, who continued the farm, born Aug. 26, 1879, and now living in Russell; and Rufus Sherman Marsh, who lived only four years. Roy A. Marsh married Grace Whiting Jan. 31, 1901. They lived for five years on what is known as the old John Houghwot farm, now owned by Gid Van Ord. They then moved to the farm which had been settled in 1798 by his great uncle, Hugh Marsh. This farm, following Hugh's death at 65 in 1829, had passed to Levi Phillips, who had married Hugh's daughter, Phoebe, Feb. 12, 1824. Hugh's wife died in May, 1848, at the age of 82. Levi built a saw mill in 1853, traces of which still remain. Of the Phillips' 10 children, Lorenzo, born April 21, 1831, married Malvina Hudson in 1862 and took over the farm. He is credited with building the present buildings. They had two children, Herbert and Milton. Return to Marsh Name Lorenzo died in 1902, and his widow married a Conarro. In 1907, Mr. and Mrs. Roy A. Marsh rented the farm from Mrs. Conarro, then purchased it from her in August, 1909: They operated a dairy farm. Near the spring where Hugh Marsh built his log cabin, Roy found an 1824 penny which is now in his pos- session. Mf. and Mrs. Roy Marsh had three children: * Leah, Mrs. Harold Hale, Russell; Verna, Mrs. Conrad Venman, Akeley: and Floyd, present operator of the farm. Floyd, who was born May 2, 1913, married Geraldine Ludwick. They purchased the farm from his father in June, 1945. Mr. Marsh is a member of the board of education of the Sugar Grove-Farmington School. David, 17, their oldest son, has been active in 4-H work fori eight years, and for four years in the Future Farmers of America at the school for four years. He has shown his registered cattle for five yeark at the Northwestern District cattle show, New Bethlehem, and at the Sugar Grove Fair each year since the show was organized.

Seeding, planting and spray­ing have begun in earnest as spring appeared to be here to stay.

Warm, clear weather for sev­eral days during the past two weeks gave fanners a chance to begin seeding oats and set­ting out tomatoes, according to observations by agricultural agents.

Seeding of grass in winter wheat should be completed by now. Glenn Cline, assistant agent, stated, and seeding oats is the most Important field op­eration npw. Corn will follow close behind, as the ground dries out and warm sufficiently.

The Floyd Marsh farm, Lander, is probably the first farm settled in Farmlngton Township, Warren County.

Now 100 acres, the farm includes a herd of 28 Hoi­st ems, including four 4-H project animals owned by Mr. Marsh's sonl David. The present buildings were built in 1862.

The land was first settled in« 1798 by Hugh Marsh, who came from New Jersey to become the first settler hi the township. He built a log cabin beside a spring, 100 rods south of what later be­came Averill Corners, and is now known as Marshtown Corners on the Russell-Lan­der Road.

few are planting without them. Cherry and apple blossoms are expected within a week or two. In the orchards, the dormant and green tip sprays are on, and pre-bloom sprays are now being applied.

Meanwhile, a continued tight labor supply plus drops in pric­es of some products apparently is resulting in farmer plans to cut down on agreage throughout the country, and Ag­riculture Department officials were expressing concern over the trend.

The peach sprays, dinitro solutions, are applied just as the trees reach full bloom, and timing is critical. In some cas­es the proper conditions for thinning sprays may last only a day, and where more than one variety is grown, spraying is done in different concentra­tions, and probably at different times, for each variety.

Fair Dates Set In Warren, Erie

Dates for community fairs In the Warren- Erie County area were announced this week by Miles Horst, Pennsylvania sec­retary of agriculture. A total of more than 100 fairs will be held throughout the state..

The schedule includes: Waterford Community

Sept. 3 to 6. Youngsville Community Fair,

Sept. 3 to 6. Sugar Grove Community Fair,

Sept: 11 to 13. North East Community* Fair,

Sept. 25 to 27. • — • — • • • • — • • • — — —

owned by Elmer C. Swanson and Mr. Skaggs. John and his wife, whom he had mar­ried, in 1790, had a family of five children.

In 1803, John Marsh taught the first school in Warren County in his own home at Beechwoods. The s t u d e n t body included his own chil­dren, those of his brother (Hugh had 16 children), and one or two others.

Early School In 1805, John and Hugh

Fair \ Marsh built the first school-! house at Marshtown. Con-

structed of logs with white

greased paper for windows, it had a large fireplace and seats made of log slabs, con­vex side down. There "Were no desks, the students wrote with split goose quills at a narrow shelf fastened to the side of the house.

An 1806 list of taxable in­habitants and property in­cluded John Marsh, 800 acres, one cow, two oxen, one "out-lot" and four "inlots" in War­ren; and Hugh Marsh, 500 acres, two cows, two oxen, one horse, three outlots and two inlots in Warren.

John Marsh died in Octo­ber, 1842. His only son, Jo­seph, took over the farm. He married Ruth Sheldon in'De­cember, 1820, and they had 10 children.

Misfortune struck in 1844, when three children died in March and Ruth Sheldon Marsh died in May that year. John married Betsy Kelsey Trask, who had three of his, children: Martha. Joseph A. and Betsy Marsh.

Man of Few Words" Joseph, the elder, became

a prominent man in the town­ship, and served 15 years as Justice of the peace. He was described as a "man of few words," deliberate, seldom provoked 'to anger, lenient toward his debtors and liberal with help where needed. He died Fj?b. 14, 1881, at the age of 86.

Joseph Albro Marsh, his son, was born Feb. 19, 1850. He married Harriette Hough-wot in October, 1868. Their children were Eugene, born in 1870, now living; Cora, Marsh Reed, 1873-1944. Roy A. Marsh, who continued the farm, born Aug. 26, 1879, and now living in Russell; and Rufus Sherman Marsh, who lived only four years.

Roy A. Marsh married Grace Whiting Jan. 31, 1901. They lived for five years on what is known as the old John Houghwot farm, now

owned by Gid Van Ord. They

then moved to the farm which had been settled in 1798 by his great uncle, Hugh Marsh.

This farm, following Hugh's death at 65 in 1829, had passed to Levi Phillips, who had married Hugh's daughter, Phoebe, Feb. 12, 1824. Hugh's wife died in May, 1848, at the age of 82.

Levi built a saw mill in 1853, traces of which still remain.

Of the Phillips' 10 children, Lorenzo, born April 21, 1831, married Malvina Hudson in 1862 and took over the farm. He is credited with building the present buildings. They had two children, Herbert and Milton.

Return to Marsh Name Lorenzo died in 1902, and

his widow married a Conarro. In 1907, Mr. and Mrs. Roy A. Marsh rented the farm from Mrs. Conarro, then purchased it from her in August, 1909: They operated a dairy farm.

Near the spring where Hugh Marsh built his log cabin, Roy found an 1824 penny which is now in his pos­session.

Mf. and Mrs. Roy Marsh had three children: * Leah, Mrs. Harold Hale, Russell; Verna, Mrs. Conrad Venman, Akeley: and Floyd, present operator of the farm.

Floyd, who was born May 2, 1913, married Geraldine Ludwick. They purchased the farm from his father in June, 1945.

Mr. Marsh is a member of the board of education of the Sugar Grove-Farmington School.

David, 17, their oldest son, has been active in 4-H work fori eight years, and for four years in the Future Farmers of America at the school for four years. He has shown his registered cattle for five yeark at the Northwestern District cattle show, New Bethlehem, and at the Sugar Grove Fair each year since the show was organized.
