2 CONT          Double honors Mother's Day for mother of nine children 
2 CONT      
2 CONT      This Mother's Day 1978 countless mothers throughout the nation are 
2 CONT being honored in thier homes and various family gathering scenes.  But 
2 CONT how many women will also be receiving such high accolades as Mrs. Rose 
2 CONT Marie Baer, 52 year-old resident of 253 S. 25th St., who is being 
2 CONT graduated today from Indiana State University -- magna cum laude. 
2 CONT      In case you are not up on your Latin that means with high honors and 
2 CONT requires a grade index above 3.8 to achieve and that must have taken 
2 CONT "some doin" for Mrs. Baer, who simultaneously cared for a family of nine 
2 CONT children and an Indiana Air National Guard husband. 
2 CONT      She and her husband, Robert Maxwell Baer, a member of the Hulman 
2 CONT Field IANG installtion, moved to Terre Haute some 23 years ago where she 
2 CONT began her degree work in 1970 after several of her children had homes of 
2 CONT their own. 
2 CONT      Under ISU's "Continuing Education for Women" program headed by Dr. 
2 CONT Harriett Darrow, dean of academic services, Mrs. Baer majored in 
2 CONT political science with minors in Chinese language and economics. 
2 CONT      She was recipient of a Chinese scholarship established by the late 
2 CONT Dr. Kai Pang, professor of Chinese language at the university. 
2 CONT      Obivously a beehive of energy, ability and inteligence, she has been 
2 CONT activley engaged in the political campagin of Charlotte Zietlow of 
2 CONT Bloomington, Democrat candidate for Congress from the Seventh District. 
2 CONT      The cheering gallery for Mrs. Baer at todays, commencement excercies 
2 CONT will doubtless include her husband and their children -- Mrs. Paul (Anna 
2 CONT Catherine) Newport of Muncie, Robert Maxwell Baer II of 824 N Center, 
2 CONT William James Baer of San Diego, CA, Chales Patrick Baer at home (ISU 
2 CONT aviation student), Thomas Joseph Baer of Spencer, John Vincent Baer, who 
2 CONT will be graduated this month from Terre Haute North Vigo High School, 
2 CONT twins Peter Gerrard and Andrew Gerrard Baer, juniors at North Vigo, and 
2 CONT Woodrow Wilson ninth grader Christopher Blaise Baer. 
2 CONT      Along with these there will also be several sons and 
2 CONT daughters-in-law, other relatives and friends with congratulations and 
2 CONT well wishes. 
2 CONT      Her many friends know her for outstanding work in the (now 
2 CONT disbanded) Schulte Mothers Club, St Patrick's Church, Terre Haute Deanery 
2 CONT Board of Education, Chinese Language Club at ISU and the Women's

2 CONT      Is she going to use her academic degree for a new career away from

2 CONT LETTER FROM SHIRLEY TUTTLE MARCH 15, 1994: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT      ...My sister, Barbara and myself, lived with Wendell and Virginia 
2 CONT (Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare) from 1939 until we married and left home.  They 
2 CONT were Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare to everyone.  Sometimes a close friend would 
2 CONT call him "Grizzly" but he was seldom called by his given name. 
2 CONT      Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare were married on December 24, 1931 and had no 
2 CONT children of their own.  She was a sister to my own Father and they took 
2 CONT us in after the divorce of our parents. 
2 CONT      I can not begin to tell you what wonderful people Aunt Dee and Uncle 
2 CONT Bare were and I am sorry your family did not have the opportunity to know 
2 CONT them.  I am aware of only one meeting Uncle Bare had with his brother 
2 CONT Max, and that was in 1972 when Lucille, died. 
2 CONT      That was the only time I met Max Baer.  I thought the brothers 
2 CONT looked a lot alike.  Both were very distinguished looking and both were 
2 CONT very hadnsome.  Wendell was a bit talller than Max and they were both 
2 CONT slender.  I was always curious that the brothers did not communicate 
2 CONT because they seemed so happy to see each other at meeting and my uncle 
2 CONT always spoke of his brother with fondness.  My uncle was a very private 
2 CONT person and didn't discuss his family. 
2 CONT      The house Max and Wendell lived in is close to my home now, in fact, 
2 CONT I pass by almost every day on my way to work.  The adress is 5259 East 
2 CONT 10th Street.  I have never been inside but it is a neat white frame 
2 CONT house.  Uncle Bare attended School #62 when it was a portable school and 
2 CONT all of my children went to that same school grades 1 thorugh 8.  He 
2 CONT graduated from Arsenal Techinal Highschool and that is where I went to  
2 CONT highschool. 
2 CONT      He did not go to college, however, he did take a lot of college 
2 CONT credits and many correspodence courses.  During World War II he was a 
2 CONT tool and dye maker for the E.Z. Atkins Saw Company.  He was deffered from 
2 CONT the military because of his job.  He was a mathematical genius and could 
2 CONT fix anything mechanical.  He also was a very good carpenter. 
2 CONT      Their home was always a haven for anyone down on their luck.  Many 
2 CONT times we had two or more families with us.  They provided as long as 
2 CONT there was a need and always with a smile.  They never expected anything 
2 CONT in return.  We were always crowded but there was lots of love and lots of 
2 CONT fun for everyone.  They both loved animals and we always had lots of 
2 CONT pets.  They especially loved dogs.  We always has at leat 2 dogs, 
2 CONT sometimes more. 
2 CONT      Uncle Bare was a gifted musician and could play many instruments, 
2 CONT the saxophone being his primary instrument.  He played the saxophone with 
2 CONT several dance bands and Aunt Dee was a vocalist when they were in my 
2 CONT Father's dance band. 
2 CONT      ...In preparing this letter I have recalled many wonderful memories 
2 CONT of my lovley Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare.  They were so special.  I have 
2 CONT always considered my self so lucky that they were willing to accept the 
2 CONT challenge of raising my sister and myself.  They provided us with a 
2 CONT loving and stable background...

2 CONT 
2 CONT Dr. A.W. Bare, 85 years, the oldest physician in this county, died at his 
2 CONT home at Bryantsville yesterday forenoon at 10 o'clock, following an 
2 CONT illiness of two months with cardiac asthma.  He had been in very poor 
2 CONT health for about a year, though he had only been confined to his home for 
2 CONT two months.  For some time past his condition had been serious and the 
2 CONT death was not unlooked for. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Dr. Bare was the oldest practicing physician in this county, and was 
2 CONT widely known not only in this, but adjoining counties.  He was born in 
2 CONT Clark county, February 17, 1826, and moved to this city about 50 years 
2 CONT ago, having his office near where Dr. McDonald's office is now located. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT He practiced medicine in this city for about five years and then moved to 
2 CONT Bryantsville where he continued to practice medicine [missing 3 or 4 
2 CONT words] by ill health. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT He is survived by his wife, three daughters, and two sons.  There are 
2 CONT thirteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren.  The surviving 
2 CONT daughters are Mrs. Frank Burton, Mrs. Ellis Chapman, and Mrs. O.C. 
2 CONT Bryant, the sons W.A. Bare, of Bryantsville and Bert Bare of 
2 CONT Indianapolis. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock 
2 CONT from the residence.  Burial will be at Bryantsville.

2 CONT                        The County Medical Society 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The first organization of this kind was in 1853. A malpractice suit 
2 CONT brought together many physicians, who thereupon held a meeting, effected 
2 CONT a partial organization, and adopted a code of ethics and a fee bill.  
2 CONT This organization was short-lived, though many interesting meetings were 
2 CONT held.  In 1864 a meeting was held at Bedford to revive the society; the 
2 CONT physicians present being: ...A.W. Bare.[etc...]. the organization seems 
2 CONT to have been postponed to 1866, at which time it was effected, and was 
2 CONT then conducted for several years with much profit to the members.   It 
2 CONT has continued until the present.  In about 1875, it became a branch of 
2 CONT the State Medical Society, and is thus at present.

2 CONT                               Bryantsville 
2 CONT 
2 CONT A town was laid out May 28, 1835, by Henry Connelly on Section 24, 
2 CONT Township 4 north, Range 2 west, and was at that time for a few years 
2 CONT later called Paris, but that was changed to Bryantsville.  Amoung the 
2 CONT early merchants were Tucker Williams, Henry Weathers, Frederick R. 
2 CONT Nugent, James Taylor and William Weathers, all prior to the year 1850.  
2 CONT During the same same time Levi Overman put up a small cabinet shop, and 
2 CONT for some time worked at his trade here.  Alexander Coleman, familiarly 
2 CONT known as "Kettle-head" was the first blacksmith.  At this place during 
2 CONT the celebrated political campaign of 1840 a barbecue of some notoriety 
2 CONT occurred at which a large number of people attended.  In 1853 Back & Rout 
2 CONT were dealers in general merchandise, and others have been Davis & 
2 CONT McGinnie. J.W. Lyons, James Standeford, John D. Thomasson, Nuby, and the 
2 CONT present firm of Henry Moneyhan & Son.  About the year 1866 a grist-mill 
2 CONT was buildt by Stroud Bros.  It is probable that the first physician to 
2 CONT locate at Bryantsville was Dr. S.A. Raridan, now of Bedford. Soon after 
2 CONT came Dr. William Huston and others were Drs. James Wilson, A.L. Goodwin, 
2 CONT A.W. Bare and Laban Palmer.  Since 1853 William Weathers, John McGinnis, 
2 CONT Heanry Davis, Dr. A.W. Bare, Benjamin Connelly and John Lyon have 
2 CONT Postmasters.

2 CONT                              The Minute Men 
2 CONT 
2 CONT In July, 1863 the county furnished the large number of nine full 
2 CONT companies to assist in repelling the rebel General Morgan from the 
2 CONT State.  At no time during the war did excitement run higher than during 
2 CONT the period of this raid.  All kinds of false and bewilering rumors passed 
2 CONT current with remarkable rapidity, and many expected to see the enemy in 
2 CONT the county in a short time.  A few days were sufficient to pour six 
2 CONT companies into Mitchell from this county, and they were joined 
2 CONT immedidatley by four companies from Orange, Washington and Monroe 
2 CONT Counties.  The regiment was called the One Hundred and Twelfth--Minute 
2 CONT Men--and was under the command of Col. Hiram F. Braxtan, of Bedford; 
2 CONT Samuel P. Dade, of Beford, was Adjutant; Ferdinand W. Beard, of 
2 CONT Springville,  Surgeon; Addison W. Bare, of Bryantsville, Assistant 
2 CONT Surgeon.  The companies fron this county were; B, D, F, G, H, and K.  ... 
2 CONT This regiment served from July 10, 1863, to July 17, 1863.  It moved from 
2 CONT Mitchell to Seymour thence to North Vernon to intercept General Morgan, 
2 CONT thence to Sunman's Station, and was then sent home.  Under the same 
2 CONT excitemnt three other companies entered the One Hundred Thriteenth 
2 CONT Regiment--Minute Men--and became E, N, and I.

2 CONT 
2 CONT General John Morgan, the feared Confederate cavalry officer, with 2,500 
2 CONT raiders, crossed the Ohio River by the use of two captured steamboats and 
2 CONT advanced on Corydon, IN, which had been the territory capitol 1813.  
2 CONT After the lightning like intrusion into southern Indiana had put the 
2 CONT state into a panic, a militia was hastily recruited.  The skirmish that 
2 CONT ensued, about one mile south of town, was the only battle in Indiana 
2 CONT during the war, but it was enough to show the war's ugliness.  The 
2 CONT Confederate cavalry occupied Corydon some four hours before passing on, 
2 CONT living off the land it went through.  There was looting, robbing and 
2 CONT burning that left casualties on both sides.

2 CONT 
2 CONT Information from History and Genealogy of the Swiss-French Tschudi-Judy 
2 CONT Colony that settled in Harrisburg, PA and Jasper, IN: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT My first American ancestor was Johann (John) Franz Tscudi and his only 
2 CONT indentified son was John Frank Judy.  In my research work I have found 
2 CONT that Johann Franz Tschudi was a Swiss landscape gardner for a Royal 
2 CONT Frenchman Count Boulogne (Broulogne?) who owned an estate and castle at 
2 CONT Fountainebleau, southeast of Paris, France. ... Johann Franz Tschudi, who 
2 CONT evidently was brought from Switzerland (about 1815) fell in love with 
2 CONT Countess Frances Boulogne (daughter of Count Boulogne) and they 
2 CONT married...Tradition says the Countess never regretted her marriage.  She 
2 CONT married for love and found happiness.  [Their marriage] brought down the 
2 CONT wrath of her Royal father and after having two children in France, the 
2 CONT situation became so difficult for both Johann and Frances Boulogne 
2 CONT Tschudi, that they fled the country and came to America, arriving about 
2 CONT 1821 and settled in Harrisburg, Dauphin Co., PA. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Harrisburg, PA- The settlement was first known as Harris' Ferry, the area 
2 CONT was laid out in 1785 and renamed Louisbourg in honor of Louis XVI.  Later 
2 CONT it was renamed again Harrisburg.  The city prospered as a busy river port 
2 CONT when the Pennsylvannia Canal opened in 1834.  Harrisburg was chosen as

1 NOTE Rose Marie McDonald's 3rd great-grandmother 
2 CONT 
2 CONT    Information from: (From tales by my mother, Flora Judy Zenthoefer) 
2 CONT   signed: Marguerite Zenthoefer, 1944 (Rose Marie McDonald's 1st cousin 
2 CONT                  twice removed, lived in Evansville, IN) 
2 CONT                                      
2 CONT Along about the year 1795, somewhere in France near the Swiss border, 
2 CONT Frances Brulong was born of nobility.  There were five or more boys in 
2 CONT the family, but Frances was the only daughter. 
2 CONT      The Brulongs had lived for many years in an old castle, but as the 
2 CONT expenses of living there were so great, they built a new home nearby and 
2 CONT kept the old castle as a show place or museum.  Here the little Countess 
2 CONT Frances spent long happy hours and knew the old place so well that she 
2 CONT often acted as guide to visitors. 
2 CONT      A young Swiss lad was employed on the estate as landscape artist, a 
2 CONT handsome fellow with black curly hair by the name of Frank Tscheude, and 
2 CONT young Frances fell in love with him.  The girls family had high ambitions 
2 CONT for their only daughter, they objected to the romance and never forgave 
2 CONT Frances when she married Frank Tscheude. 
2 CONT      The young couple were given a small house on the estate and were 
2 CONT treated like all the other tenants or peasants worked about the place.  
2 CONT Here the two oldest children, Victor and Margaret were born, and after a 
2 CONT few years, broken hearted Frances and her family set out for America. 
2 CONT      After a lengthy journey at sea, they finally reached America and 
2 CONT lived for a short time with a family in Philadelphia, who had compassion 
2 CONT on the young foreigners.  Frank Tscheude set out for the wilderness where 
2 CONT he erected a cabin and returned to get his little family.  The lady who 
2 CONT befriended them had become attached to the baby Margaret, and asked that 
2 CONT she be left with her until they had a better way of traveling as she did 
2 CONT not think the child would survive the journey. 
2 CONT      So, somehow, probably on foot the greater part of the journey, they 
2 CONT traveled to establish their new home.  They had brought with them seeds 
2 CONT from France, [the] land was cleared, flower and vegetable gardens 
2 CONT planted.  The little family grew in number.  There were about ten 
2 CONT children in all Victor, Margaret, Catherine, Susan, Frank, John, Joseph, 
2 CONT Lena and Betty.  This was in Lancaster County, PA. 
2 CONT      Once each year the father made the long journey to Philadelphia to 
2 CONT get Margaret and always returned alone*.  So Frances never saw her eldest 
2 CONT daughter again, as the journey was perilous.  Besides the long distance 
2 CONT over terrible roads, there were also wild beasts to combat.  While her 
2 CONT husband was away from home, Frances with ax in hand chased many a wild 
2 CONT beast from her door.  She was a large, well built woman and quite 
2 CONT fearless. 
2 CONT      As time went on, Frances might have been happy in her new home, if 
2 CONT her husband Frank had been able to settle in one place.  No sooner were 
2 CONT they established when he would search for a new place to settle and build 
2 CONT another cabin.  So the little Brulong girl who had lived so well as a 
2 CONT child, grew up to live in want and poverty.  She was a great story teller 
2 CONT and her children delighted in sitting at her feet and hearing stories of 
2 CONT the home she had left in France. 
2 CONT      An epidemic broke out in the settlement and Victor was sent some 
2 CONT miles away to buy asafetida.  He knew the word in Swiss or German was 
2 CONT TEUFEL'S DRECK so he translated it literally and asked for BEBBEL'S DONG. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The Tscheude children attended school taught by a Mr. Ridley.  He laughed 
2 CONT at the way they spelt thier name and changed it to JUDY and to this day 
2 CONT it is spelled JUDY by all the Tscheude descendents. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT My. Ridley taught the three "R's" very thoroughly.  He taught them to 
2 CONT spell ra-ra, izzard o r zor, razor, and big A, little a, ron, Aaron.  In 
2 CONT geography they learned to sing the states thus: Maine, Augusta, on the 
2 CONT Kennebec River, New Hampshire, Concord on the Merrimac River, etc.  
2 CONT United States Washington the Government Republician.  They sang thier 
2 CONT multiplication tables too and John Judy of this family was our 
2 CONT grandfather, passed these lessons on to his children.  Mr. Ridley was 
2 CONT probably well educated and much more efficient than our Hoosier 
2 CONT Schoolmasters of the 1860 abd 70's when mother and her sisters were 
2 CONT attending school near Ferdinand in Dubois County.  And so the lessons 
2 CONT they received at home were quite a help to John Judy's children.  There 
2 CONT was one little fellow who attended this school in Pennsylvania who wasn't 
2 CONT very bright, but his family were able to buy him pocket knives and many 
2 CONT things the other parents could not afford.  So the boys would make thumb 
2 CONT papers (something like a bookmark) and trade him for his trinkets. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT In spite of Frank Tscheude's wandering ways, he was the [soul] of 
2 CONT hospitality.  His neighbors were always welcome at his home and Frances 
2 CONT always had food prepared to serve them.  One of his remarks was 
2 CONT "Chentlemen, sit on der table" which meant they were invited for the meal 
2 CONT and should sit at [the] table.  He was proud of the flower gardens too, 
2 CONT and ivited the schoolmaster to help himself, in these words, "Have some 
2 CONT blums, Mr. Ridley."  "Blums," said Mr. Ridley, "ha, ha, ha. You mean 
2 CONT posies."  (so I judge Mr. Ridley was quite, quite English). 
2 CONT 
2 CONT A visting priest came on horseback several times a year to say Mass and 
2 CONT dispense with Sacraments, and the Judys made him welcome at thier home.  
2 CONT Mass was said in the barn and all the neighboring families came for the 
2 CONT occasion.  One time the Bishop came and the children were all so 
2 CONT frighted, they could hardly kneel before him for confession.  Grandfather 
2 CONT said it was as bad as facing a lion, but the Bishop proved to be very 
2 CONT gentle. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Betty died when she was about four years old.  That night she asked John 
2 CONT Judy to sit beside the bed and hold her hand as she was so afraid.  John 
2 CONT was then a boy of 10 or 12.  "There is nothing to be afraid," he said, 
2 CONT but [he] sat beside the bed to please the little sick girl and in the 
2 CONT morning following, she died.  He was always glad afterwards that he had 
2 CONT been some comfort to her. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Victor was killed while still a young man, by having a wagon tongue run 
2 CONT through him while pulling a wagon down grade.  He was married and the 
2 CONT father of several children.  This was another tradegy in the life of 
2 CONT Frances Brulong Tschuede.  Victor was a clever boy and delighted to tease 
2 CONT his young brothers and sisters by saying "I'm one of the Brulong boys".  
2 CONT The little ones would cry and say "no, no, no, bist you die Victor". [You 
2 CONT are Victor]. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The other children all lived to be quite old.  Grandfather was 75 and 
2 CONT Catherine lived to be 90.  She lived in the Allegheny Mountains.  The 
2 CONT others scattered through Ohio and several came to Indiana.  John and his 
2 CONT brother Frank were very close to one another and they married sisters, 
2 CONT Margaret and Barbara Temple.  They lived near Ferdinand, Ind. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT John named his only son Frank and Frank named his son John.  Frank died 
2 CONT when his son was quite small and  John was broken hearted.  Years later 
2 CONT when grandfather was an old man, Mother bathed his feet and noticed a 
2 CONT cord tied tightly around his leg.  He told her he had worn it since the 
2 CONT death of his brother, Frank, so he would never forget him in his prayers. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Margaret Judy, the daughter who was raised in Philadelphia, probably 
2 CONT married and settled in New York.  Years later when Mother's sister, 
2 CONT Vernocia (Aunt Fronie) lived in Broolyn she met some of her [Margaret 
2 CONT Judy's] children quite by accident and their name was Gillespie.  They 
2 CONT knew quite a bit of the family ancestry and had some old pictures of the 
2 CONT family. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT One of the Tschuede girls married Presley Frazier and lived in Indiana.  
2 CONT Joe the youngest brother, lived in Ohio for many years and probably died 
2 CONT there.  One of his sons is a brilliant doctor. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Great-grandfather Tschuede (Judy) moved to Logan, Hocking County, Ohio, 
2 CONT before the children were grown.  Frances must have died shortly before or 
2 CONT after this time and great-grandfather married a widow with several 
2 CONT children.  She was very good to the family.  When the last of the Brulong 
2 CONT boys died in France (all unmarried) the estate was to go to Frances and 
2 CONT efforts were made to trace her in America.  The change in spelling their 
2 CONT name lost them a fortune.  The children could prove nothing.  The parents 
2 CONT were dead, even the old schoolmaster was gone, so the estate was given to 
2 CONT France. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT We have tried for years to learn more of the Bruling family.  Just who 
2 CONT were they, what part of France was this old castle located in, do some of 
2 CONT the buildings still exist?  Roman Kempf, a cousin of mine has made many 
2 CONT trips abroad but could unearth nothing at all.  Tscheudes still live in 
2 CONT Switzerland and are very prominent people. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Frances was a god-fearing woman and raised her children with discipline.  
2 CONT A lie to her, was a great wrong, so we know that all the tales of her 
2 CONT home were true.  Her children loved and respected her and often found her 
2 CONT in tears when she did not know they were near.  But for all his kindness 
2 CONT and deep piety, the children still resented thier father's wandering ways 
2 CONT that made life so hard for them all. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT A few years ago the writer "Oliver Roberts Barton" wrote an article that 
2 CONT was published in our local paper about the flowers growing along the 
2 CONT wayside in Penna.  They were flowers that are found onlyh in old French 
2 CONT Gardens, and no one seems to know how they grew in such wayside places.  
2 CONT Who can tell, perhaps they are from the seeds planted more than a 
2 CONT centenary ago by Frank and Frances Tschuede, brought with them when they 
2 CONT left their old home in France to seek a new home and peace in America.

1 NOTE LETTER FROM SHIRLEY TUTTLE MARCH 15, 1994: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT      ...My sister, Barbara and myself, lived with Wendell and Virginia 
2 CONT (Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare) from 1939 until we married and left home.  They 
2 CONT were Aunt Dee and Uncle bare to everyone.  Sometimes a close friend would 
2 CONT call him"Grizzly" but he was seldom called by his given name. 
2 CONT      Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare were married on December 24, 1931 and had 
2 CONT nochildren of their own. She was a sister to my own Father and they took 
2 CONT us in after the divorce of our parents. 
2 CONT      I can not begin to tell you what wonderful people Aunt Dee and Uncle 
2 CONT Bare were anbd I am sorry your family did not have the opportunity to 
2 CONT konw them.  I am aware of only one meeting Uncle Bare had with his 
2 CONT brother Max, and that was in 1972 when Lucille, died. 
2 CONT      That was the only time I met Max Baer.  I thought the brothers 
2 CONT looked a lot alike.  Both were very distinguished looking and both were 
2 CONT very hadnsome.  Wendell has a bit talller than Max and they were both 
2 CONT slender.  I was always curious that the borthers did not communicate 
2 CONT because they seemed so happy to see each other at the meeting and my 
2 CONT uncle always spoke of his brother with fondness.  My uncle was a very 
2 CONT private person and didn't discuss his family. 
2 CONT      The house Max and Wendell lived in is close to my home now, in fact, 
2 CONT I pass by almost every day on my way to work.  The adress is 5259 East 
2 CONT 10th Street.  I have never been inside bu it is a neat white frame 
2 CONT house.  Uncle Bare attended School #62 when it was a portable school and 
2 CONT all =my children went to that same school grades 1 thorugh 8.  He 
2 CONT gradutaed from Arsenal Techinal Highschool and that is where I went to  
2 CONT highschool. 
2 CONT      He did not go to college, however, he did take a lot of college 
2 CONT credits and many correspodence courses.  During World War II he was a 
2 CONT tool and dye maker for the E.Z. Atkins Saw Company.  He was deffered from 
2 CONT the military because of his job.  He was a mathematical genius and could 
2 CONT fix anything mechanical.  He also a very good carpenter. 
2 CONT      Their home was always a haven for anyone down on their luck.  Many 
2 CONT times we had two or more families with us.  They provided as long as 
2 CONT there was a need and always with a smile.  they never expected anything 
2 CONT in return.  We were always crowded but there was lots of love and lots of 
2 CONT fun for everyone.  they both loved animals and we always had lots of 
2 CONT pets.  They especially loved dogs.  We always has at leat 2 dogs, 
2 CONT sometimes more. 
2 CONT      Uncle Bare was a gifted musician and could play many instruments, 
2 CONT the saxophone biing his primary instrument.  He played the saxophone with 
2 CONT several dance bands and Aunt Dee was a vocalist when they were in my 
2 CONT Father's dance band. 
2 CONT      ...In preparing this letter I have recalled many wonderful memories 
2 CONT of my lovley Aunt Dee and Uncle Bare.  They were so special.  Ihave 
2 CONT always considered my self so lucky that they were willing to acdept the 
2 CONT challenge of raising my sister and myself.  They provided us with a 
2 CONT loving and stable background...

2 CONT DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT AND JOHN POAGE 21: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Robert and John Poage immigrated to North America from Irelnad around 
2 CONT 1734. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT John Poage of Rockbridge County, VA, was the first of the tribe to appear 
2 CONT in the Orange County records, being appointed to cut a road in 1739.  He 
2 CONT is said to have been twelve years younger than pioneer Robert and to have 
2 CONT had but two children in 1740. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT He was a farmer and his house stood along the old Valley road some nine 
2 CONT miles southwest of Lexington in the Fancy Hill district to the south side 
2 CONT of Poage Run, the place now called Oak Bank, the name of the voting 
2 CONT precinct.  The old road passed in front of the house which faces 
2 CONT eastwards but is now a hundred and forty yards southeast of the Valley 
2 CONT Pike US Route 11.  Owned and occupied in 1941 by Mr. Jacob Hickman when 
2 CONT the editor saw it, it seems to be the only girlhood home of Mary Moore 
2 CONT now extant, a structure of hewed logs laid skin to skin and 
2 CONT weatherboarded with a metal roof and a stone chimney topped with 
2 CONT brick-picture in the Captives of Abb's Calley, 1942 edition, page 13. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT There are other old Poage homes in the Fancy Hill district and many of 
2 CONT this line and name sleep in the graveyard of the Falling Spring church, 
2 CONT as well as in the old graveyard at Old Providence church. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT John and Jane had ten children.

2 CONT                   BAIRD'S HISTORY OF CLARK COUNTY, IND 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Jacob P. Bare was for many years prior to his death a skilled 
2 CONT agriculturist and a well-to-do resident of Charlestown township, Clark 
2 CONT county.  He was one of those unassuming men who find ample scope for 
2 CONT thier abilities in performing industriously and consistently the duties 
2 CONT which providence placed before them.  He lived to a ripe age, conscious 
2 CONT of a life well spent in an effort to rightly rear and to enrich his 
2 CONT family, and enjoying the friendship and unfailing loyalty of a large 
2 CONT circle of friends.  He was born on the 17th of September, 1823, near 
2 CONT Washington, Indiana.  His father was a Virginian.  In his sixth year our 
2 CONT subject came with his parents to Owen township, Clark county, in which 
2 CONT county the remainder of his life was spent.  He married Ann M. Baird on 
2 CONT the 24th of December, 1846.  She was the daughter of John and Sarah 
2 CONT (Martin) Baird.  Jacob and his wife were the parents on nine children.  
2 CONT In regular order they were: John H., born on May 13, 1848; Almira M. on 
2 CONT September 24, 1849; William H. on the 25th of May, 1851; H.T. born May 
2 CONT 20, 1853; Sarah A. on the 13th of April, 1855; Robert A. and Charles 
2 CONT (twins), born August 23, 1857; Ida V. born September 13, 1859 and Harriet 
2 CONT E. December 27, 1862.  Our subject and his wife on their marriage settled 
2 CONT on the farm where Mrs. Bare still lives and where he afterwards died on 
2 CONT the 4th of October, 1891.  The farm contians two hundred acres of choice 
2 CONT land.  Jacob Bare was a deeply religious man through life and was a 
2 CONT deacon of the local Presbyterian congregation; his entire family also 
2 CONT belong to that faith.  In politics he was a Republican.  His death was a 
2 CONT loss to his sorrowing wife, on whom the duty developed of caring for her 
2 CONT children.  From her husband's death in 1891 to the present day, Mrs. Anna 
2 CONT M. Bare has admirably demonstrated her fitness as the head of the 
2 CONT family.  During that time she has shown herself to be possessed of a 
2 CONT natural ability and talent to deal with all the problems which have faced 
2 CONT her.  She is now past the age of eighty-two years, and lives a life of 
2 CONT much less strenuousness than was her custom hitherto.  She was born near 
2 CONT Lexington, Kentucky, on August 30, 1826, and was as we have stated, the 
2 CONT daughter of John and Sarah (Martin) Baird.  Her father was born near  
2 CONT Coleraine, Londonderry county, Ireland, in 1789.  In the year 1810, at 
2 CONT the age of twenty-one, he crossed the intervening ocean to the United 
2 CONT States and landed in Philadelphia, Pa, where for some time he worked in a 
2 CONT factory, and in that city married Sarah Martin a native of the place.  
2 CONT They came to Tennessee and later to Kentucky, resided for some time in 
2 CONT Ohio and finally came to Clark County, where he settled in Owen 
2 CONT township.  Here he erected a building for a woolen factory, and was in 
2 CONT his ninety-third year at the time of his death... 
2 CONT      Mrs. Ann M. Bare is widely known and respected and lives peaceably 
2 CONT in her advanced years with her son, Charles E. and her daughter, 
2 CONT Elizabeth.  Three of her children, Sarah, William H. and Harrison are 
2 CONT deceased.

2 CONT                              JACOB BARE, SR. 
2 CONT           of Augusta County, Virginia and Clark County, Indiana 
2 CONT      
2 CONT      Jacob Bare, Sr. first appeared in Clark, Co, IN on September 19, 
2 CONT 1818 when he purchased the east half of Section 34 [T2N R9] in the 
2 CONT Illinois Grant #58 from Robert Lucas Plasket and his wife Barbara.  In 
2 CONT that deed he was called Jacob Bare of Augusta Co., Virginia.  The 
2 CONT following year he sold half of this land to his two sons David and Jacob, 
2 CONT Jr.  It was described as going from a large white oak, westerly crossing 
2 CONT the creek to a large black walnut, including all water priviledges and 
2 CONT ground necessary for water works on the margin of the creek, excepting 2 
2 CONT acres which which were conveyed to Michael Gettner and Frederick 
2 CONT Raudenbeare for a church and school house. 
2 CONT      Jacob Bare, Sr. had very substantial holdings in Augusta County, VA, 
2 CONT at this time--close to 2,000 acres--which called for the services of 
2 CONT three or four men, half a dozen slaves and about a dozen horses.  The 
2 CONT first purchase found was for a 260 acre tract in "Beverley Manor" 
2 CONT acquired in 1791 from the heirs of William Wright.  His major holding was 
2 CONT 902 acres in three lots purchased from Jacob Kinney and wife Ann.  The 
2 CONT lots were located on the waters on the South River in the Shenandoah 
2 CONT Valley.  This must have been a beautiful location and one wonders why he 
2 CONT left it to move to frontier Indiana and make a new start.  It is not 
2 CONT known when he was born but as son Owen was born in Philadelphia in 1782, 
2 CONT he must have been close to 60 at the time of his move to Indiana.  It 
2 CONT would appear that his wife had already died and did not accompany him on 
2 CONT his westward journey.  His youngest son John remained in Virginia taking 
2 CONT care if Jacob Sr's property there and eventually inheirting it.  John and 
2 CONT his wife Rebecca died in Augusta County, as recored in the Bethel Church 
2 CONT Register in 1858 and 1852 respectively. 
2 CONT      The other children came to Indiana.  Owen, probably the oldest, left 
2 CONT Virginia first.  Hew was in Tennessee when his first san Jacob was born 
2 CONT in 1809 and eventually settled in Clark County, with his wife Catherine 
2 CONT (?Pierce).  The family moved on to Jefferson County, IL near Woodlawn.  
2 CONT Henry Bare and his wife Catherine Fix settled in Jefferson County, IN.  
2 CONT Mary Bare married in 1804 David Hatton and thier son and two daughters 
2 CONT were living in Clark County by 1853. 
2 CONT      Jacob Bare had died by October 10, 1831, when his heirs appointed 
2 CONT Jacob, Jr. as their attorney in the settlement of the estate in Indiana 
2 CONT including for acres in Illinois Grant #58 beginning at two beechtrees on 
2 CONT the bank of Bull Creek...to a beech on the bank of the Ohio River, then 
2 CONT south to a stake, etc... 
2 CONT 
2 CONT [The Virgnia homestead is later described in his grandson Jacob M. Bare's 
2 CONT obituray as "on the banks of the South River 4 miles north of Greenville, 
2 CONT VA".  He was buried in the Calvary Methodist Church.]

2 CONT                  ANALYSIS OF RECORDS ON JACOB BARE, SR. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Jacob Bare, Sr., who died in Clark County, Indiana between 
2 CONT 1826-1831, and who left Augusta County, Virginia, circa 1823 is not to be 
2 CONT confused with Jacob Bare of Rockingham County who married Anna Barbara 
2 CONT Miller.  Jacob Bare of Rockingham, died in Rochingham.... 
2 CONT      The earliest deed record for Jacob Bare, Sr. (listed as a "stiller" 
2 CONT in the personal property tax lists until 1823), is found in Deed Book 
2 CONT 1-A., page 35, August 16, 1791, when he bought land of hiers of William 
2 CONT Wright--260 acres.  The land was located on South River of the Shenandoah 
2 CONT between present day Greenville and Stuarts Draft.  Deed records show that 
2 CONT Jacob and Barbara Bare were still in Augusta County in 1823, when the 
2 CONT made a deed to Geroge Crobarger for 173 acres on South River.  
2 CONT Apparently, Barbara was deceased in 1826 when Jacob Sr., sold two lots of 
2 CONT land to his son, John Bare ( who stayed in Augusta County) south River.  
2 CONT [Jacob] was deaceased before 1831 when the heirs began selling theirs 
2 CONT interests in his land to their brother and uncle, John Bare.  
2 CONT 
2 CONT "History of The Three Falls Cities..." 1882 Owen Township listing: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT VILLAGES: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Germany [Indiana] was laid out by Jacob Bear, Sr in 1829.  It has 
2 CONT nineteen lots and is crossed by two streets, Main and Main Cross 
2 CONT streets.  Both these villages [Herculaneum & Germany] are now of little 
2 CONT consequence.  Bull Creek with its high bluffs passes close by, and almost 
2 CONT makes one village out of two--if villages they can be called.  Neither 
2 CONT has a blacksmith shop.  Germany has a grocery.  The main business of the 
2 CONT station is to ferry people across the river, as they come from New Market 
2 CONT and Stricker's Corner. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT These villages took their names from the German people who early made the 
2 CONT narrow bottoms their home.  Standing on the high banks of Bull Creek and 
2 CONT looking down in the valley which follows it, the places can hardly be 
2 CONT called either neighborhoods or hamlets.  They are just between the two, 
2 CONT and will, appartently, stay where they are for a number of years to come. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Letter from Mary Louise Todd: 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The Clark County Library in Charlestown sent me pages from the Pisgah 
2 CONT Church records.  It appears from the land deeds of Clark County that 
2 CONT Jacob Bare, Sr. who died there at some time in 1831 had given the Pisgah 
2 CONT Congregation 2 acres from his original purchase in the county.  I presume 
2 CONT that would be in Owen Township but I have no proof.  The church continued 
2 CONT until about 1841 when there was a split in the membership.  Jacob Bare Jr 
2 CONT and wife Mary joined the New Owen Creek Church.  Others in the 
2 CONT congregation moved to a new site near the town of Bethlehem. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Reverend Al Elswick in Augusta County found that Jacob, Sr. used the 
2 CONT signature (Bčar) with the umlaut of the a [ča],  I am told that this would 
2 CONT give the pronunciation of the name as Bare as we would pronouce it.  I 
2 CONT doubt that he ever formally changed the spelling.  They weren't very 
2 CONT fussy about it in those days.  When he pronouced it , it sounded like 
2 CONT "Bare" so that's the way the clerk or tax collector or whoever wrote it.  
2 CONT Sometimes it was spelled in the records as Bear.  To make our job harder, 
2 CONT there were several other families of the same name in Augusta County so 
2 CONT it was a job to sort them out.  However, the one we are interested in was 
2 CONT located on the South River.  He had close to 2,000 acres and quite a 
2 CONT number of horses and quite a few slaves who no doubt were occupied in the 
2 CONT mill.  The old mill is pretty well gone--no roff, a few walls etc.  It 
2 CONT can still be identified.  John Bare who was the one son who remained in 
2 CONT Virginia, built a house nearby--ca 1840's, our researched thought--and 
2 CONT that is still there but no longer in the possesion of the family, I 
2 CONT believe.

2 CONT Genealogy of Johannes Baer 1949-1910 (no relation as of yet): 
2 CONT 
2 CONT As to the name, we think the German name of our ancestors was spelled 
2 CONT Bčar, and this name, we have been informed by a German, who also speaks 
2 CONT English, depends for its meaning on whether it is used in speaking of a 
2 CONT person or a beast.  To illiustrate his meaning, he gave this example:  
2 CONT "Henry Bčar, while hunting on the mountain, shot a bčar.  The first Bčar 
2 CONT being a person's name, would be transcribed into Enlgish "Baer," the "ča" 
2 CONT in English being "ae."  The second bčar meaning an animal, would be 
2 CONT translated "bear."

2 CONT AUGUSTA COUNTY 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Though Augusta County was created in November 1738 form Organge County, 
2 CONT its county government wasw not ofrmed right away because the area was 
2 CONT spasely popluated.  On October 30, 1745 the justiceds for the county were 
2 CONT named, and the county's court first met on Dec 9, 1745.  Augusta and 
2 CONT Frederick County, which also was created in 1738 from Orange County, took 
2 CONT up all the land west of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.  Augusta 
2 CONT County was an area so large it included, in addition to the present-sized 
2 CONT county, 21 other Virginia counties, most of the counties in West 
2 CONT Virginia, the entire state of Kentucky and the territory of West 
2 CONT Augusta.  West Augusta was an area stretching to the Ohio River, which at 
2 CONT one time was claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvannia.  Even today, 
2 CONT Augusta County is the second largest county in Virginia.the 21 
2 CONT present-day counties which were once part of Augusta County are: 
2 CONT Alleghany, Bath, Bland, Botetourt, Buchanan, Rockingham, Russell, Scott, 
2 CONT Tazewell, Washington, Wise, and Wythe.  "The vast county of Augusta 
2 CONT remained intact until 1770, when Botetourt, was formed.  Thereafter the 
2 CONT formation of new counties was acclerated.  Bath Coutny was finally formed 
2 CONT by an act of 1790 (which took effect in 1791) and Augusta County was 
2 CONT reduced to its present bounds." 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Population in April 1746 was 6,000 and almost doubled by 1800, reaching 
2 CONT 11, 712.  Settlement started in 1732 with the first settlers being 
2 CONT Scots-Irish, followed by some English, Welsh, and Dutch.  The Church of 
2 CONT England "was never particularly strong in Augusta in Colonial times, 
2 CONT wherea other denomiations flourished."  These included the Presbyterians, 
2 CONT Methodists, German Lutherans and Baptists.  Many Augusta families moved 
2 CONT to Kentucky and the Northwest Territory during and after the Revolution.  
2 CONT "From 1800 to 1860 emigration and immigration were rapid and continuous.  
2 CONT The low price of rich land in Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and 
2 CONT Missouri lured the inhabitants, who moved on; bu the Germans form 
2 CONT Pennsylvannia soon took thier places."  Staunton (24,401) is the county 
2 CONT seat.
