Extras
The old farmstead that I grew up on holds a lot of sentimental value for me. I remember the good times I had with my siblings, the games we used to play while helping Dad milk the cows, building tunnels in the haymow and singing songs after supper. Of such are good memories made! Farm life wasn't always an easy life-getting up at 4:30 AM in the dead of winter to milk the cows-but it was a good way to learn family values and to acquire a good work ethic. Something else I cherish about the homestead is its place in local history.
In the summer of 1809, only six years after Ohio had obtained statehood, Jonas Stutzman, a young Amishman, ventured into the Walnut Creek Valley and set his stakes on what is now my dad's farm. Jonas must have been an adventuresome fellow, as he was only 21 years old when he built his first cabin there in the wilderness. The valley had an ample supply of large oak and walnut trees, which furnished him with an abundance of building materials. Those days were long before the invention of the chain saw-everything was done by the sweat of a man's brow. He was the first white person to settle in eastern Holmes County, Ohio-in the heart of what is today the largest Amish Community in the world.
