MOST FAMOUS
RAILROAD IN ALL HISTORY
STATIONS LOCATED ON RURAL ROUTE 29, OUT
OF WESTFIELD - ONE INCIDENT TOLD
R. R. MADE ROUTE FAMOUS
People Still Have Some of the Characteristics of Fathers -- Route
35's Next Move Awaited
Editor Ledger:
Deming was the scene
of the last line of defense presented for Route 29, in its contest
with Route 35, and from Deming, let the judges now take their way,
in though, and follow the line of Jay Gunn's route, . . . over
territory bristling with history and covered now by happy homes.
. . .
The next farm is as well known perhaps as any farm in the
community. It is occupied now by Mrs. Alfred Graham and family, but
it was formerly the Jesse Foulke farm. The big barn on the Foulke
farm was the scene in the early days of many exciting scenes. It was
here that some big public meetings were held, including debates on
religious topics, and the early debates as to spiritualism. William
W. Conner, of Noblesville, formerly had the habit of coming out to
pit his wits against the best brains of the community, and many
exciting controversies took place in the big barn. Then, across the
road, hidden away from sight now, is the old Mt. Pleasant cemetery,
and the site of the old church, where great religious occasions
happened fifty and more years ago. Orators of that day did not mince
words and they did not save their strength by talking by "main
strength and awkwardness," as they expressed it, but they could make
an audience rise to heights of exaltation.
The route reaches the
Cicero-Sheridan road, soon after passing the Graham farm, which is
one of the finest and best cared for farms in the community. . .
Page 7, col. 2 & 3: [John Rhoads
Incident]
Route 29 is made up in part of the route of the most
famous railroad in history, the Underground Railroad. This road led
from the South to Westfield, and Westfield at that time was perhaps
more widely known than any other town in Indiana, even including the
capital. Westfield was a station, and the route then ran through the
Tomlinson neighborhood, by Chester, on north, to Bakers Corner, to
Boxley, then through Tipton county to New London, then on, by way of
the North Star to Canada, and freedom. About 1856, this Underground
Railroad was in full operation. The trains were smokeless and
noiseless, but they ran day and especially at night. For Example,
the Rhoads family, a colored family, whose son, John Rhoads, later
was a character well known in the county and especially at Deming,
came up from the South and located just southeast of Bakers Corner,
near what was later the Jones Sawmill. The Southern planters located
the colored family and came after them. The old man Rhoads' name was
John, too, and his wife's name was Lou Ann. There were three girls,
Jane Ann, Sallie Ann and Phoebe Ann. The slave driver located the
house and he and his fellow slave hunters surrounded the house, but
windows and doors in the old log house were barred. Lou Ann Rhoads
was full of plans, and she used a straw tick, burning a little straw
at a time, to keep the fugitive slave hunters from coming down the
chimney. The old man Rhoads struck at one of the men who tried to
get in the door, and the slave drive left some of his hair and blood
on the door jam. The colored family kept the drivers at bay until
morning, and then some of the Bakers and Hodsons and other neighbors
heard the disturbance and rallied to save the negroes.
Then it
was agreed to go to Noblesville and have a trial of the case. They
put the negroes all in a covered wagon, and started to Noblesville.
They got down to old Tile Factory Corner and then some of the white
men who were interested in the freedom of the negores said the
negroes should be tried at Westfield, instead of Noblesville. The
slave owners said, no, they should go to Noblesville and one of them
said he would shoot anybody who tried to change the course of the
caravan, for it was a caravan by by this time, for the community had
been aroused. Daniel Jones, who lived at Westfield, had arrived, and
he jumped up on the wagon, took the lines and said, Let him shoot!
Asa Beals was also present and he was an orator of some force, and
he continued a speech to the people as they journeyed on toward
Westfield. Westfield was finally reached, and everybody including
the "innocent" Jones and Beals, looked in the wagon for the colored
family but they had "all leaked out." Mr. Moon, father of Anna Maria
Beals, was one of the men who helped the negroes "leak" from the
wagon:
Many other tragic incidents are told of he Underground
Railroad days, but now they are merely laughable, showing kind f
stuff of which the railroaders of that day were made and they give a
distinct hale of honor to all who had a part in the organization,
financing, building and management of the famous old Underground
Railroad. |

THE TOMLINSON FAMILY WILL MEET
SUNDAY
100th Anniversary of Settlement of Chester Community
REUNION AT HOME LUDOVIC HILL
Closely Identified With Early
Friends of the County
Ludovic Hill, of Washington Township,
in Noblesville, Thursday, on business,
announced that the annual
reunion of the Tomlinson family will be held at his
home, a
short distance west of the Chester Friends Church Next Sunday. It
will be the on hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the
Tomlinson
family in that section of the county. It developed into
one of the
staunchest Quaker communities in the county and the
neighborhood cluster
with many memories of the activities of the
early Friends in the western
part of the county.
Most of the
pioneer members of this family are gone but Mr. Hill
said he
expected a large number of relatives and supposed a few friends
would call, all of whom will be made welcome. Aside from the usual
reunion dinner there will be no special program. A few years ago
an interesting pageant of the early days was given on the Hill farm.
Some of the oldest members of the Tomlinson family took part
in
that event, which attracted the attention of hundreds, but nothing
of this kind will be attempted at the reunion next Sunday. While
there are many descendants of this widely known family still
living in that community it is believed that Asher Tomlinson,
who resides by himself on a farm on the east side of the Range
Line road, is the oldest surviving member. He is close to eighty.
Much of the land in that locality was entered from the government
by the Tomlinsons and it is still in the family.
The Chester
church, which was abandoned a few years ago
for religious
services and which in civil war days was believed
to have been a
station on the underground railroad for the
transportation of
slaves from the southern states to
Canada, has a history
beginning with the first settlement
of the neighborhood. It was
in February 1837 that
Robert Tomlinson, with his family, settled
two miles north
of Westfield. In September of the same year
Enoch Jessup and
family settled nearby. In the course of time
other families
came to the neighborhood, most of whom were
members
of the Friends church.
(Continued on page 4)
There
was no church nearer than Westfield. As there were
no roads the
mode of travel was either on foot or horse-back.
This distance
was traveled for a few years until they thought
they should have
a church established in the neighborhood.
This to this end on
March 31, 1859, the following petition
was presented to the
Westfield Monthly Meeting of Friends:
We, the undersigned members
of the Westfield Monthly
Meeting of Friends “request the
privilege of holding a meeting
for worship and a preparative
among ourselves to be known
by the name of Chester, two miles
north of the town of Westfield,
in the county of Hamilton, in
the state of Indiana. Said
meeting to be held on the first and
fourth day of each week except
for first day of the quarterly and
fourth day of the monthly
meeting weeks. The preparative meeting
to be held on the
fourth day before the last seventh day in each
month.”
This petition was signed by Robert Tomlinson, Peter Rich,
David Stalker, John Stalker, Joseph Moore, William Baldwin,
Lydia Tomlinson, Prudence Jessup, Amy Rich, Annie Stalker,
Deborah Moore, Mary Baldwin, Noah Tomlinson, Allen
Tomlinson, Eli
Carey, Isom Hiatt, Johnathan Carey, David Fodrea,
Abigal
Tomlinson, Martha Tomlinson, Mary Carey,
Asenath Hiatt, Tamer
Fodrea and Eliza Carey.
In accord with the granting of this
petition the Chester church
was organized in October, 1859, with
Robert and Lydia Tomlinson
as heads of the meeting and Joseph
Moore and Amy Rich as clerks.
The First meeting was held October
31, 1859. The first marriage
in the church was Henry Roberts and
Keziah Lamm and the first
minister recorded was Zimri Kivett. |

Comment
More Colors of the
Rainbow
The old church at
Chester, in Washington Township, north of Westfield, two miles and
more, is closed for religious services and this is a matter of
sincere regret for many folks who hold the old times in a reverent
regard. Chester was largely a Quaker community and was included in
the fine tribute paid Washington Township by Prof. John F. Haines,
who wrote a fine history of the county, and has always given old
Hamilton county folks kindly words. And, he knew the history of the
people and there antecedents. Mr. Haines is not very well and it is
fine to call attention, once more, to his tributes to the people of
his beloved county. In speaking of the Quakers, he said Washington
township was settled largely by the Quakers. “As these people stand
for uprightness of character and the thoughtful education of their
children and are hard-working, thrifty and persevering, the township
soon became notable for its churches, schools and the scholarly
attainments of its citizens. The homes and the farms are among the
best in the county.”
The old church at
Chester goes back to 1837, when Robert Tomlinson settled two miles
north of Westfield. Enoch Jessup followed Mr. Tomlinson and soon the
neighborhood was a happy community. The nearest church was at
Westfield and by foot and horseback Westfield was quite a distance
away. But, it was not until 1859 that the Chester church was
established, after a number of people of the community requested the
Westfield Monthly Meeting to permit them to hold a meeting at
Chester. Said meeting to be held on the first and fourth fay of each
week, except first day of quarterly and fourth day of monthly
meeting weeks. The Westfield meeting agreed to the request and the
next body to pass on it was the Quarterly meeting at Westfield, in
May, 1859. A committee was appointed to visit the Friends in the
Chester neighborhood and reported that the request be granted. The
Quarterly meeting granted the request and sent a committee composed
of Dougan Clark, Jacob Carson, Noah Stafford, Clarkson F. Cook,
Benjamin Harold, Jesse Horney, Jemima Stanley, Sarah Hiatt,
Elizabeth Bray, Edith J. Cammack, Phoebe Cook and Eunice Doan, with
Levi Pennington and Ellen R. Hunt, as clerks.
The original
petition for the establishment of the Chester Church was signed by
Robert Tomlinson, Peter Rich, David Stalker, Joseph Moore, William
Baldwin, Lydia Tomlinson, Prudence Jessup, Amy Rich, Annie Stalker,
Deborah Moore, Mary Baldwin, Noah Tomlinson, Allen Tomlinson, Eli
Carey, Isom Hiatt, Jonathan Carey, David Fodrea, Abigail Tomlinson,
Martha A. Tomlinson, Mary Carey, Asenath Hiatt, Eliza A. Carey and
Tamer Fodrea. So Chester was organized on October 26, 1859., with
Robert Tomlinson and Lydia Tomlinson as heads of the meeting and
Joseph Moore and Amy Rich as clerks. The first minister to proclaim
the Gospel was Joseph Pickett and the first recorded minister was
Zimri Kivett. Other members became ministers and Florence
Stanborough Roberts was a missionary to Africa. Allen Tomlinson
donated
(Continued on page
4)
the land for the
church property and the labor for building the church was donated.
For a time part of the church was used for a school room.
Those names given
as connected with the establishment and the building of the church
are among the best-known and most-highly-regarded names in the older
days of the county. In that early day the Lindley family, north of
the church, were Friends and, before that time as few years, Joseph
G. Cannon, as a boy, lived in the community, where his father
practiced medicine, coming from Carolina to Indiana and then on to
Illinois. The community is always spoken of in te highest respect
for those Friend Quakers, opposed to war, yet favored the rights of
liberty, for all men. So the community was known as one of the
foremost stations on the Underground Railway from the South on the
way to Canada, and whatever force was necessary to accomplish the
safety of the hunted Negroes was used by those peaceful Quakers. No
community has a higher reputation for good citizenship that has the
old Chester Community. The names stand for all that is best in
American history and the younger generations take great pride in the
record of the folks who made it possible to inherit great and good
names.
