353 Clarence Charles Hobart (1854-1932) was the founder of the three Troy companies that bear his name: Hobart Electric Manufacturing Company (now P.M.I.), Hobart Brothers Company (now I.T.W.) and Hobart Cabinet Company. He was an engineering and industrial pioneer whose companies have provided products around the world and whose creative entrepreneurial genius inspired numerous engineers. The Hobart companies continue to be major employers in the region. Close ties with Wright Patterson Air Force Base have given these companies a major strategic importance in war and peace and allowed them to become leaders in patented technology for the product areas they encompass: welding technology and products; ground power; and kitchen, restaurant and food equipment. The C.C. Hobart Foundation continues to be an area benefactor in community activities. Dayton Walk of Fame HOBART, Clarence Charles (I3175)

359 Daniel is buried is buried in the Old Frederick Cemetery here in Warren Co. Va. It is located near the Waterlick area today. You can read the info on Daniel?s headstone that says he died in 1897 at 77 years old. There is a slight problem there as that reporting of his age would have him being born four years after his father died.

His wife Amelia, as shown on the marriage bond, also know as Millie, Milla, and Mildred Ann, misrepresented his age on every census until he was at home at the time the 1880 census was taken where he stated he was 68. She also changed her age on every census.

Daniel was most probably born in 1812-1813. If he was born later than that date he would have been drafted in the Confederate Army in 1864 when the draft age was 50. He was not listed in the Home Guard as a person too old to serve but still be required to fight if needed.

362 Daniel Zentmyer, a well known farmer of near Kauffmans station, died at his home, Wednesday evening, after an illness of a week from pneumonia. He was aged 77 years, 3 months and 22 days. Mr Zentmyer was born near Quincy, on the farm now owned by H. A. Good. He was reared on the farm. Afterward he engaged in wagoning and for six years drove a large Conestoga wagon between Greencastle and Waynesboro and Baltimore. He used six and eight horses in his teams and his descriptions of his trips and his experiences as a wagonner were very interesting. Retiring from this business he again engaged in farming and 23 years ago moved to the place which he occupied uninterruptedly until his death. Mr Zentmyer was a man of much force of character, of wide knowledge and highly esteemed by those who knew him. In politics he was an unswerving Democrat but never aspired to an office. He was a member of the German Baptist Brethren Church. He was the last of a family of twelve children. He is survived by his widow and these children; Daniel B, Nebraska, David, Altenwald; John at home; Mrs George Unger, Upton; Calvin, Hamilton Avenue, Waynesboro; and J Burns, Hotel Werner, a paternmaker in the Landis Tool Co's shop. Funeral Saturday, meet at house at 10 o'clock. Service and interment at German Baptist Brethren church at Brown's Mills. ZENTMYER, Daniel (I87155)

370 David Lewis and Mary Crawford were first found in Orange County, Virginia. In 1738 Frederick County was formed out of part of Orange County. The Lewis family lived in the section that became Frederick County. David Lewis and Mary Crawford secured two Fairfax grants. This land was on Opequon Creek in Frederick County, Virginia. It is interesting to note that David Lewis' land adjoined that of Jacob Brooks, father of Priscilla Brooks, who married David's son, John Lewis. About 1756, David Lewis and Mary Crawford sold out in Frederick County, Virginia and moved to South Carolina. David and Mary probably had a large family - but only 3 of their children have been found: David Lewis Jr., Crawford Lewis, and John Lewis. LEWIS, David Sr. (I3867)
 
371 David possessed a series of hand-written genealogical charts relating to the descendants of Christopher Zentmeyer, copies of which were obtained by Michael Fichtel in the 1970s. David told Michael that the charts had been compiled by Robert Anderson Zentmyer, David's father, around 1904 after a lengthy letter-writing campaign to persons having the Zentmyer surname and its variants. I obtained partial copies of these from Michael in 2007, and they have proven to be accurate and informative. In 2022 I was able to obtain full copies from Vicki Zentmyer Bergstrom, David's daughter. -Ed.

374 David Zentmyer was born at Springfield Furnace, Huntingdon county. He was the son of Major John Zentmyer and Margaret (Gates) Zentmyer. His parents moved to a farm near Spruce Creek, in Huntingdon county, where he worked with his father, who was a jobber in lumbering. In May, 1861, he enlisted in Company I, Fifth Pennsylvania Reserves. This company, known as the Scott Infantry, was one of the old militia companies, organized before the war. They were mustered into service at Harrisburg and sent to the front in July, 1861. He enlisted as orderly sergeant, became second, then first lieutenant, and on the promotion of Captain Dare to colonel of the regiment, commanded the company for some time. At the time of his death he was adjutant of the regiment, with the rank of first lieutenant. He was in active service for eighteen months and took part in many battles. He was killed in the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, and buried in the field.

According to the National Park Service, these field burials were mass graves, long trenches with hundreds of soldiers in each trench. After the war, Congress established the Fredericksburg National Cemetery, and approximately 15,000 Union soldiers we re-interred there, most anonymously. The official I spoke with could not find a record of David's re-internment, but virtually guaranteed that this is his final resting place.

Soldiers Monument

In the old Methodist Cemetery, (also known as Burket Cemetery) near the village of Warrior's Mark, is a fine monument of bronze, which was dedicated on the Fourth of July 1878, "Sacred to the memory of our deceased comrades, by the returned soldiers of Warrior's Mark and Franklin Townships." Active in securing the requisite funds (about eight hundred dollars) were B. S. Haughawout, J. E. Hyskell, Capt. O. S. Rumberger, George Weston and George Wills. The monument which is about twelve feet high, rests on a base of stone several feet in thickness, and is surmounted by a figure of the Angel of Mercy. On the front of the upper die of the monument is a figure of Abraham Lincoln, which was modeled after one of the last photographs taken of him. Underneath are inscribed his immortal words, "With malice towards none, with charity for all." On the other side of the die are profiles of Union soldiers and a stack of arms. A metallic sub-base contains, besides the inscription of dedication, representation of the national colors and a mounted soldier. The lower die contains the names of the following:
Lt. David Zentmyer, Maj. Frank Zentmyer, among many other names.

5th Pennsylvania Reserves/34th Pennsylvania Volunteers

Charles City Cross Roads
Retiring a short distance, the men slept on their arms for a few hours, when they where aroused and taken across the Chickahominy. Here the regiment lay under arms until the evening of the 28th of June, when it marched via Savage Station, and crossing the White Oak Swamp, arrived on the evening of the 29th at Charles City Cross Roads. The Fifth and a battalion of the Bucktails were thrown forward close up to the enemy's line. Lest in the darkness friend should be mistaken for foe, the men were directed to bare the right arm to the shoulder. The pass word was "Bucktail" and the answer "five.

On the following morning, the brigade was withdrawn, and dispositions were made for repelling an attack from the direction of Richmond, and to protect the junction of the New Market and the Quaker or Turkey Bridge road. By half-past three in the afternoon the battle had fairly began, the rebels attacking with great fury. Soon after the contest opened, the enemy moved a heavy column to the right and came down with great impetuosity upon Seymour's brigade. Colonel Simmons was immediately ordered to move with the Fifth and the Eighth regiments to its support, the Fifth gallantly led by Lieutenant Colonel Fisher. This order was promptly obeyed, the men moving forward at a double quick and charge bayonet, but not a moment too soon for a furious attack with infantry and artillery was met just in time to stay and repel it.

In this charge the Seventh and Seventeenth Virginia regiments were nearly annihilated, the greater portion being either killed wounded or taken prisoners. Shortly afterwards the enemy issued from the woods in front in great force, and for nearly two hours the battle raged fiercely, the enemy making desperate efforts to break our lines and gain the road, on which were passing the immense supply trains of our army; but without success.

In the heat of the struggle, Colonel Simmons, leading his men with determined bravery and unequalled skill, fell mortally wounded and died in the hands of the enemy. A soldier by profession and a man of the strictest honor, a patriot from principle and brave to a fault, the Reserve Corps lost no more trusted leader, nor loved companion in arms. Here fell, too, Captain Taggart, of Company B, an excellent soldier, whose loss was severely felt. In the three battles, at Mechanicsville on the 26th, Gaines' Mill on the 27th, and Charles City Cross Roads on the 30th of June, the regiment lost eighteen killed, one hundred and fifteen wounded, and one hundred and three taken prisoners.

Resting upon the field until two A. M. of the 1st of July, the regiment proceeded to Malvern Hill, where was fought the last grand battle before Richmond, in the Peninsula campaign. The Fifth was under fire, but not actively engaged, and on the morning of July 2d, moved with the army to Harrison's Landing, where it went into camp. The vacancy occasioned by the death of Colonel Simmons, was filled by the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Fishery Major George Dare was appointed Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Frank Zentmyer, Major.

Second Battle of Bull Run
General M'Clellan's Peninsula campaign was now at an end, and General Pope, in command of the Army of Northern Virginia, was beginning to feel the weight of the enemy's force concentrating on his fronts The troops under M'Clellan were accordingly ordered forward to his support. Pope finding the line of the Rapidan untenable with his meagre force, withdrew to the Rappahannock, where, upon his arrival, he was joined by Reynolds with the Reserve Corps. Finding Jackson in his rear, Pope hastened with his little army to meet, and if possible overpower him before he could be reinforced. The Reserves moved via Warrenton and Gainesville to the First Bull Run battleground, arriving on Thursday, the 28th.

On the following day, the Fifth was deployed as skirmishers and was under a heavy fire of artillery during the entire day. On Saturday, August 30th, it engaged the enemy at four o'clock P. M., and the fight was maintained until six with unabated fury, when it was relieved.

In this engagement the regiment, being reduced by excessive fatigue and heavy details, numbered but two hundred men. The loss was one killed and twelve wounded. During this campaign it was under the command of Major Zentmyer, Colonel Fisher being absent in consequence of a severe injury occasioned by the fall of his horse.

Battle of Antietam
On the night of the 14th, the men slept on their arms, on the rugged mountain crest. At early dawn of the 15th, finding that the enemy had fled, the regiment moved down the mountain, and passing Boonsboro, bivouacked for the night at Keedysville.

On the 16th, it crossed Antietam Creek, and moving to the right, engaged the enemy at four P. M., and was engaged at intervals during the night. The battle was renewed at daylight on the following morning, and raged with unabated fury on that part of the line where the Reserves were posted during the early part of the day, the Fifth not being relieved until one P. M.

Finding his army badly crippled and unable longer to offer successful resistance, Lee withdrew across the Potomac, and on the 19th, the Fifth marched to the river, near Sharpsburg, where it encamped. The loss of the Fifth in this battle was two killed and eight wounded.

After considerable delay, the army again advanced into Virginia, and by command of the President, General McClellan was relieved and General Burnside ordered to succeed him. The latter determined to move upon Richmond by way of Fredericksburg. On the 11th of December, General Franklin, who commanded the left grand division, to which the Reserves were attached, crossed the Rappahannock some distance below Fredericksburg and formed in line of battle facing the enemy's entrenched camp.

A few weeks previous, the Fifth Regiment had been transferred from the First to the Third Brigade, which now consisted of the Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth regiments. The Reserves, commanded by General Meade, early on the morning of the 13th, moved forward and occupied the first line of battle, with Doubleday's Division upon the left flank and Gibbon's upon the right, as supports. The Third Brigade occupied the left of the line, with the Ninth Regiment deployed as skirmishers. The dispositions had scarcely been made, when the enemy opened from a battery posted on the Bowling Green road, to the left and rear of the line. The Third Brigade was immediately faced to the left, forming with the First nearly a right angle. Simpson's, Cooper's and Ransom's Batteries were soon brought into position, which together with the batteries of Doubleday silenced and compelled the withdrawal of the enemy's guns. During the progress of this artillery duel, a body of rebel sharp shooters advanced along the Bowling Green road, but were soon dispersed by the marksmen of the Third Brigade, sent to meet them. The line now advanced, the Fifth Regiment occupying a position upon the left, nearest to the enemy's breast works. The struggle became desperate, but the Reserves, unaided, advanced with determined bravery, sweeping everything before them until they had penetrated and completely broken his lines. In this advance, the Third Brigade encountered a destructive fire from a battery posted on the heights on its left. In the face of this deadly fire the troops boldly crossed the railroad and ascended the acclivity; but so terrible was the storm of battle from both infantry and artillery that they were compelled to withdraw.

Here General Jackson, who commanded the brigade, was killed, and was succeeded by Colonel Fisher, of the Fifth, Lieutenant Colonel Dare assuming command of the regiment. The loss of the Fifth in this engagement was twenty killed, eighty-eight wounded and sixty-one taken prisoners. Major Zentmyer and his brother, acting Adjutant, were among the killed, and Lieutenant Colonel Dare among the wounded.

We spent time with her in Waynesboro in the summer of 2007, and we honor her work, although she incorrectly identified Henricus Zentmaÿr of Brilon, Nordrhein-Westfalen, an actual person, as an ancestor of this family. When I asked her about her source for that connection, she would only say "the Mormons."

393 During the afternoon of 27 Jun 1844 an armed mob in blackface overwhelmed the forces guarding the jail in Carthage, Illinois where LDS founder Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were being held. The mobbers stormed the jail, shot and killed the Smith brothers, and severely wounded an associate, John Taylor. Until recently, we had no information as to whether any of the three Hobart brothers living near Carthage during that period had any connection to the murders.

Joseph Johnstun is an historical analyst from Fort Madison, Iowa, which is about twenty-five miles from Carthage. He is one of the leading scholars on Nauvoo, Illinois, (Nauvoo was the nexus of the Latter Day Saints from 1839 until 1845 -Ed) and is widely considered to be the expert on the murders of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. According to Johnstun, writing to us in January of 2019:

"Gary- I am pleased to tell you that your family were not participants in the murders of the Smith brothers; however, they were involved in the events surrounding them in a very important and meaningful way. When the shooting commenced at the jail, Norman and his brother Joshua heard it on their farm four miles south of Carthage. They immediately headed to town. Upon their arrival, they discovered their brother Jonas was one of the guards at the jail during the attack, and considering the scene, Joshua said that it wouldn't do to leave the bodies lying in the jail and yard. So the brothers fashioned stretchers and began carrying them to a hotel on the other side of town owned by Artois Hamilton. Thankfully, Hamilton's neighbor came by with a wagon, and they were able to take the bodies that way. Once at the hotel, Joshua and Norman cleaned and shaved the men, and otherwise prepared the bodies for their journey to Nauvoo the following morning."

She earned a B.A. degree from Marymount College in Salina. She began her teaching career in 1919 and continued until her retirement in 1966, having completed 46 years. Her first assignments were rural schools, including District 88, where she taught 15 years. Fourteen years were spent in the Primary Department of Scandia Grade School, and the last four years of teaching were spent as a first grade teacher in the Belleville school system. She had resided in Scandia since 1939. She was a member of the United Brethren Church in Scandia until its closing, at which time she transferred to the United Methodist Church. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, Republic County Retired Teachers Association, and Sorosis Study Club. - THE BELLEVILLE TELESCOPE, Thursday, October 22, 1992 ROBISON, Edna Matilda (I86033)
 
395 Educated in common schools, George learned the painter's trade with his father, with whom he worked until the age of thirty-two, and went to Palmyra, Lebanon County, where for two years he was employed in the manufacture of shoes, after which he established himself as a painter and paper-hanger and now has a fine business; a Democrat and member of the United Brethren Church. -History of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 1907 ZENTMEYER, George W.

396 Ella is listed as Samuel's wife in the 1885 Iowa Census, and Samuel remarried in 1887, so Ella died 'Abt 1886.' CROMLEY, Ella F. (I1512)
 
397 Elsbeth did not emigrate to America. RÜGER, Ursula (I3688)
 
398 Emily married sometime after 1880 to Dr. Dean Stefferman. She married a second time, name unknown, but, according to family lore, he was also a doctor.

2008 Apr - Correspondence received from Sher and Larry Heasley, note that Emma was 15 at the time of her first marriage.* They also feel that mention of names within family papers may indicate that Emma was also married to William John Allen and John Blaine. In addition to Margaret Lillian Hockney, other children may include:
Annabelle (maiden name unknown) Ashbough born about 1885
George Allen
Charles Blaine
Curly Rosa Blaine (25 July, no year)
Fannie Bell Blaine (3 July, no year)

* Emma is listed as living in the household of her father Harrison and 2nd wife Catherine in both the 1870 and 1880 census. It was my assumption that her marriage to Dean Stefferman was sometime after 1880 based upon her living at home in the 1870 and 1880 census. I was simply told by my grandmother that Emma was married to Dr Dean Stefferman and married a second time to a man who may have also been a doctor.
