A very interesting reunion was held
at the home of Leroy Shiplett on the Cooperville Road in Hopewell Township nine
miles west of the city on last Thursday the 7th.,the reunion was the gathering
of the descendants of Charles Franklin with their friends.
Mr.Franklin, who was an accepted second cousin of the renowned American
Commoner, Benjamin Franklin, was one of the earliest pioneers of that part of
the country - removing to the Ohio wilderness from Baltimore, Maryland in 1810.
One of Charles’s first concerns after he settled in Hopewell Township was the
organization of the Methodist Congregation. The class or Sunday group that
organized at his house was the origin of the church at
Asbury Chapel. Two years after having moved to Hopewell Township
Charles Franklin was killed by the falling of a timber while he was
helping raise a barn on the
Diltz place.
Mr. Franklin had two sons, Hezekiah
and Simon and five daughters whose names after marriage were Mrs. Betsy
(Elizabeth) Shiplett, Mrs. Cassandra Lewis,
Mrs. Catherine Irwin,
Mrs. Ruth Anderson and Nancy Shue. All these are dead.
The members of the family attending the reunion were all of the later
generation.
They were Leroy, Nelson, William,
Alfred, Charles and Ephraim Shiplett.
Six Anderson’s of the original settler and their families.
Solomon Lewis, a grandson and his family. B.F. Anderson and wife,
two daughters and two grandchildren, C. G. Anderson and daughter.
The friends present swelled the
company present to 150. An old fashion country dinner, lavishly provided, was
served to all. Rev. Ricketta and Aller, Mr. Bell, a neighbor and Mr. Ephraim
Shiplett made entertaining addresses.
It was in every way an enjoyable event."
