Notes

[NI0009] By Helen Musser Leidy
I was only 8 years when my Father died. I really don't remember very much about him, only what some people call "FlashBacks".
A Short time before he died He and our Mother purchased a Grocery store from Abe Measarvy. Abe and his family moved to the farm east of St Johns on State Rt 33 that our parents owned. This deal was more of a trade than a purchase. The store building belonged to Joe Blank prior to the Measarvy's ownership.
Father had plans to clean seeds for local farmers in a barn located behind the store building. He had purchased a seed cleaner, but in less than 2 years he died.
Earlier in his life he, Virgil Jackson and Ira Price became interested in Oil Wells.
Several Oil Wells were drilled on Ira's farm west of St Johns, but I don't believe they had much success.
I am writing this in October 1994 and this is the way I remember hearing these things.

Our Father Willis Musser died in 1937. I was 8 years old and my brother Warren C Musser was less tha 2 years old.
Our mother sacraficed a lot to keep our family togeather. This was very important to her. She continued to operate the grocery store in St Johns,that I am sure my Father and her had big plans . This provided a small income for her and helped keep food on the table and clothes on our backs ,and a roof over our heads. Social Secuity was not available to widows for the support of children at this time in history.
I remember a lot of people helped us . Our Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and friends and neighbors were very good to us, and made sure we had a nice Christmas.
With WW II in progress and the income from the grocery store small,she decided to go to work at theLima Tank Depot. This decision was due two many factors,larger grocery store in Wapakoneta, better autos and people making more money, because the war.This decision helped here to provide a better living standard for us.
While working at the tank plant she met Hugh F Johnson, and they were married in 1944. Hugh had 2 sons Harold and Robert and after they were married he moved his family to St Johns and we lived in the old Grocery Store.
In 1951 we tore down the old store and built a new 4 bedroom home.
I believe my mothers faith in God anf love for here Family sustained her through all her years.
In 1984 she sold her home in St Johns and moved into the Lima Towers in Lima ,Ohio.
She loved her family and in later years her grandchildred and great grandchildren. Among the many things I'm sure her grandchildren will remember are Christmas's at Grandmas,Picking cherry's,large gardens,a large grape arbor fillrd with grapes, and oh yes Grandmas's noodles and sugar cookies with red hot's that Grandma had many request's for. She continued making those famous cookies until a year before she died .
Her last year was spent in a Nursing Home(Shawnee Manor-Lima Ohio) because of health problems. She was a very patent person,never complained and accepted things as they happened
.

I was less than a year old when Grandpa died, but the one thing I heard about him was that he made ice cream every Sunday. He and George Loegel built a ice house so they had there own ice for ice cream making.

[NI0013] Helen Musser Leidys Memorys of Grandmothr Musser There are many thins I remember about Grandma. I spent many hours with here, she had two deceased daughters and my feelings tell me that she adopted me. I was the first grandchild and the only one for six years. She was very special to me!

We spent many hours at the Auglaize Co Fair during fair week.

Some of those ideas are The Automobile Compass, a small Air Hammer (General Motors), an office folder (A.B. Dick), many of the various sections of the (Baum Folder Co.) machines, the Rotary Spinal Drill Press, a Callipering device for paper feeder machines.
A story often told by his mother about his first attempt of making things. He wanted a little toy steam engine for Christmas. Santa did not bring it, so he made his own from parts of old tin cans, with even a small track for his little steam engine. It worked.

Heinrich was an early settler of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa. prior to 1691, when as cited in Pennypacker's History, "The Settlement of Germantown", he was recorded as having taken the first steps toward naturalization being listed as "Hendrick Kasselberg, a Mennonite; from Backersdorf, County of Brugg", Germany, meaning probalby, Bruggen near Crefeld in the low country of the Rhine.

The Mennonites, known at Germantown as Dutch Quakers, were much the same doctrine and discipline as Friends or English Quackers who invited the persecuted Mennoites to colonize in Pennsylvania.

Thirteen families from Crefeld, near the Netherlands border founded Germantown in 1683, arriving on the "Concord", landing October 5, 1683. Succeeding seasons brought additional settlers from that vicinity, and one was Heinrich Kesselberg. In 1692 his name, Heinrich Kasselberg, appears as a witness to the marriage of Henry Efrey and Anna Levering by Justice of the Peace, Francis Daniel Pastorius.

Heinrich was finally naturized in 1708, listed as Henry Kesselberry ( PA. Arvhives Ser. 2 Vol 7). Later that year he purchased a tract of land, deed dated December 30, 1708, reads, Edward Farmer to Heinrich Kasselbery, of Germantown; this deed in 1895 being in the possession of Wm. A. Yeakle.

In May 1708, his wife's name appears as Catherine Kesselberg on list of members at the newly built Log Meeting House in Germantown. The meeting house was built by Mennonites who had previously worshiped with the Friends. The Meeting House or its successor and the "old grave yard" are still in existence near Methacton in the present township of Worchester. But most of the land was in the township afterwards named New Providence and Perkiomen and the settlements approached and perhaps embraced the sites of the present villages of Evansburg and Easleville. It is in Providence that the remaining records of Henry are found. In 1723, his daughter Eve Casselbury(MAR RECORD Pa. Archives 8-56) was married to John Basset. In 1725, in a petition for a road, his name appears for the first time in its permanent form Henry Casselberry.

In Derrick Castleberry "Will" he mentions four daughters, Rena (Rosena), Catharine, Susanna and Elizabeth, and son "Daniel". No mention of son Paul.

[NI2313] "Was the first of his line to assume the 'tle" in the surname. Paul, 4th son of Henry, died 3/2/1748 in Providence Township, then in Philadelphia Co., a record of Baptism and death of Paul is at Great Valley Baptist Church near Paoli, Chester Co.,(on file at PA. Hist. Soc.) He was assessed on 62 acres in Providence Township in 1734, being listed as Paul Castleberry and he signed a petition for a Minister at St. James Episcopal Church at Evansburg, Paul Castleberry, a record of which is in the history of Old St. David's Church at Rador (Phil. Hist. Soc.). It is evident that he had left the Mennonite sect, and that in early life he lived in or near Chester Co., and later moved back to Providence Township. His will, headed New Providence Co. PA., and signed Paul Castleberry was proven April 17, 1748 at Salford, and recorded in Book G page 246, PA. He "gives and recommends his soul to God and recommends his body to the earth" He gives to his mother Catrin Castleberry, every third bushel of all ye wheat, ryd, indecorn and buckwheat that is raised on ye plantation, together 1/2 ye "seyder"; she finding ye half of ye hands to make it" This provision indicates who had inherited but little from his father had been aided by his mother to acquire the land. He gives to his oldest son Richard Castleberry, after he becomes of age, all and singular, the lands and tenements but the widow (she keeps unmarried) shall have her "mentence and a room in ye house, and to his other sons he "orders them put to trads when 17 years of old. He gives the daughters, Catrin, Elizabeth and Ann Castleberry each six pounds. The names are written in full, obviously to emphasize his inovation of the "tle" in the name. He is progenitor through his son Richard, of the Georgia Alabama line of Castleberry's, and the progenitor through his son Jacob, of the Evansburg line of Castleberrys".
