Notes for JESSE LUCAS:

Jesse Lucas carried the mail from Brownstown, Indiana to Freetown, Indiana on this area's first public road that ran from Brownstown to Nashville. Mr. Lucas made this trip once each week also carrying the Maumee mail which was transferred at Freetown to Riley Combs who completed the delivery to Maumee, Indiana.

Notes for JESSE DURHAM LUCAS, JR.:

FIRST CHILD BORN TN FREETOWN TELLS OF EARLY
PIONEER DAYS IN JACKSON COUNTY - JESSE D. LUCAS

The following account was taken from the Seymour Tribune, dated Saturday, August 28, 1926. As told to the Tribune by Jesse D. Lucas who was born in Freetown the year the town was laid out, 80 years ago, (1846) and had lived there during his entire life, being active in the affairs of the community.

About 107 years ago (1819) two families in North Carolina decided to go West. Their names were Lucas and Park. My father and mother were children at that time, father was ten years older than mother. She was merely old enough to remember the trip.

I have often heard her tell how they started out with pack horses, with what worldly goods they had fastened to pack saddles, the children and the women riding and the men walking in front with their guns on their shoulders. In those days men seldom went out without their guns to shoot game and to protect themselves from wild beasts and Indians.

Settled first at Borden....They followed the trail over the mountains and through the valleys and in the dense forests. They finally reached Indiana Territory and settled in what is now known as Borden, Indiana, where my father and mother grew up to manhood and womanhood and were married. My oldest brother, Joel, was born there. The land there being government land, they decided to move on and they selected this (Freetown) as their future home. My father went to work and built the first log cabin that was built in the neighborhood. They settled on and entered eighty acres, the forty now owned by Laura Spurgeon and the forty owned by my brother, George.

House without nails....This first home of my father was an interesting place. The cabin was built without nails. The doors were made of boards with wooden hinges. The roof was fastened on with weight poles. The nearest and only neighbor they had at that time was Uncle Abram White, on what is now known as the Wes White farm.

A little later as settlers came in and established homes one of the interesting features of the pioneer life for old and young were the "Gatherings". These were of a different nature and usually for some purpose such as wool pickings, corn husking and log rollings. These log rollings were held after the forest trees had been felled by the pioneer's ax, the trees being large enough they had to be burned in two in order that the men could carry them and lay them in heaps for the burning. They carried them by means of the "Hand Spike" which was a small sapling cut into six foot lengths---two men to the spike on either side of the tree, it sometimes taking a dozen or more men to carry the log. These were laid in large heaps and burned. The fine timbers destroyed in this way would today be worth small fortunes to landowners.

The food on the table of the pioneers consisted almost entirely of what he produced with his own hands and the game he killed was abundant, such as venison (deer), wild turkey, etc. To secure their coffee and other groceries, trips were made to Louisville, Kentucky, which was the nearest trading post at that time.

The first cabin was built just north of where Mrs. Spurgeon's house now stands. It was built without nails, hinges, glass or dressed lumber.

Post office at Brownstown....The nearest post office was at Brownstown. My father and Riley Combs carried the mail to Freetown and Maumee, Mr. Combs coming here after father had brought the mail from Brownstown about once a week. Later a post office was established at Freetown and George Motsinger was the first postmaster. And when the patron called for his mail it was all laid out.

At one time the post office was conducted for a number of years by an old settler who could neither read nor write. And when the patron called for his mail it was all laid out and he selected his own mail from the rest, thus relieving the postmaster of the responsibility for mistakes. I served as postmaster for eighteen years, having been originally appointed under President Harrison. During my term as postmaster the post office safe was blown open and robbed twice. At the beginning of my term there were no envelopes. A letter was written and folded so that the writing was on the inside. It was then sealed by a little wax wafer.

The first public road in this section extended from. Brownstown to Nashville, and it was over this road that the first mail route was established. What was known as the State road leading to Indianapolis crossed the Nashville road at this place.

Freetown eighty years old....Freetown was laid out the year I was born--in 1846. It was platted by Charles Rosenbauin, the first storekeeper here. The southwest was laid off first, and my brother, Jacob P. Lucas, built the first three frame houses in town, about the year 1850. One of these is still standing. Harry Winklepleck lives in it. (House burned January 7, 1970)

Houston was laid out before Freetown, but Kurtz was built with the construction of the Southeastern railroad in 1886. I remember the date easily by the fact I had just married my second wife and we were living at a farm north of town.

Home was a religious center....My mothers' hewn poplar log house was always open for religious services of whatever denomination, and the first preaching to be done in the community was done in my mother's home. It was done by a Newlight minister, although the first church to be built in the neighborhood was the United Brethren church on the lot where Jim Wheeler lives. It was made of logs. Then the Christian church was built. The first frame church was the Methodist Episcopal.

One of my earliest recollections was the religious services held by George Motsinger of the United Brethren church at his log barn. The barn was located on what is now known as the Chute farm, one-fourth mile north of Freetown. The barn had a "tramping" floor through the center with a tier of stalls on each side. These meetings were not very formal affairs but served a real service for the community and many men and women attended in the summer without shoes. Sometimes the young ladies carried their shoes until they were near the church and then dressed their feet, thus saving shoe leather. The "tramping" floor was used in threshing grain. The heads of grain were placed on the floor and a horse driven about over them to tramp out the kernels. It was in the room containing the "tramping" floor where the religious services were held.

Armed against criminals....Robberies were frequent occurrences in the days when I was a young man and the depredations of the bandit gangs became so persistent and so bold that the citizens were forced to form supplementary detective organizations to assist the officials in bringing the outlaws to justice.

Such an organization was the "Freetown Vigilance Committee" which was organized in the year 1875. There was a three-fold purpose of the organization. It was to detect and apprehend felons committing crimes in Jackson and adjoining counties; to mutually protect the members against horse thieves and other felons; and to indemnify the members who suffered losses from the acts of thieves or other felons. The personnel of the Vigilance Committee, which was a secret supposedly at the time of its activity, was composed of nineteen of the leading citizens of the community. The members were James George of Salt Creek Township; Thomas J. Boyer of Brownstown Evan Scott, Henry Welch, William A. Spurgeon, Robert Jones, Eli W. Bowers, Jesse D. Lucas, Benjamin F. Harbaugh, George H. Chute, Samuel Delong, James-----------, John P. Lucas, Solomon Z. Cross, Zachariali Hays, William H. Brock, George Kear and Jacob P. Lucas of Freetown.

The Vigilance Committee was organized to assist in the enforcement of law and not to take the law into their own hands, although it was popularly supposed that this might be the case. One incident which cast some suspicion on the vigilantes was the hanging of a Negro whom they were bringing to justice. He had robbed a store at Houston and was apprehended and was being brought to justice when some of the members of the accompanying crowd threw one end of a rope about the colored man's neck and threw the other end over the limb of a tall Dogwood tree, and drove the horse from under him, leaving him hang.

This occurred on the spot which has since been called "Nigger Hill" in memory of the event. The morning after the hanging, John Lucas, my brother, who lived nearby on a farm, was called upon by the coroner to bury the Negro. The spot of the grave is unmarked.

Drunken brawls common....Freetown was a bad place for drinking and fighting in the saloon days. There were considerable number of citizens who enjoyed engaging in "fist and skull" contests. There was no show, or picnic or gathering of any kind that did not have its disorder caused by liquor. A group of men had to be constantly on guard to care for the drunks at each meeting. In the old days a man could buy a glass of whisky for three cents and the old three cent pieces were used for that purpose. The drinks were "life size", the whisky glasses of those days holding two or three times as much as the ones of later days. The better grades of whisky sold for fifteen or twenty cents a quart.. I have seen many a man come to town to buy groceries for his wife and babies and go home penniless, intoxicated and without food for his family, having spent all his money for booze.

Taught for $1.35 a day....Although I was a farmer by occupation, I taught school for seven years during which time I received $1.35 a day for my work, which was considered top prices in those days.

I was married the first time, July 4, 1869, just a few years after my discharge from the Union Army. On September 6, 1886, I was married to Emma George, at whose parents' home I had boarded when she was a young child. We will celebrate our Fortieth wedding anniversary and I will celebrate my eightieth birthday this year. (1926)

Joined Army at age of 18....During the exciting days of the Civil War, I was a young man working on a farm. I was under contract to work during a period of years but I finally broke the contract and joined the Union Army when I was eighteen years old.

I took pneumonia soon after getting into camp at Indianapolis and later took Typhoid Fever at Winchester, Virginia. I was in an Army Field Hospital July 4, 1865, during a review of Union troops. The day was so hot that hundreds were overcome with heat and we convalescents were forced to go back to camp to make way for the new patients. The exposure to camp life caused me to take a backset and I was ill during the remainder of my Army experience, having to be taken to the tram in an ambulance at the time I was discharged from the Army.

Addendum: Jesse D. Lucas and Emma G. Lucas were parents of May, Mary and J. C. Lucas. May married Charles E. Hayes and their children were: Roger, Charles, Zachary and Jack. Roger married Elva Rotert and their children were Mark and David. Charles married Margaret Gaskill. Zachary Hayes died at age seven in 1924. Jack married Marjorie Wray and their children were Lisa and Gregory. Lisa married John Bozic and their son was Zachary David; Greg married Denise Macintosh and their daughter was Alexandria Marie. The Zachariah Hays mentioned was the father of Charles E. Hayes. Zachariah Hays married Rachel Browning and they were the parents of Charles and John Hayes. For some reason Charles Hayes changed the spelling of the surname from Hays to the current spelling (Hayes).

Notes for SARAH PHILLIS VADER:
FIRST WHITE SETTLERS IN AREA ALONG THE CREEK IN FREETOWN

My great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Jesse and Elizabeth Lucas, were the first white people to settle in this area along the creek in what is now known as Freetown. They homesteaded two forty-acre plots. After my Great-grandfather died my Great-grandmother went (signed) my Great Uncle John's note and she lost one forty-acre plot, but my grandfather had been in the Civil War and he had his "mustering out" pay so he paid the note on the forty acres that I now own He was a drummer boy and was in Sherman's March to the Sea.

He married Nancy Goble and they had several children. My mom married Daniel Phyllis Vader in 1926 and I was born just a little over a year later. She was 44 years old and my dad was 54 years old when I was born.

I went to school twelve years at Freetown school and loved every minute of it. Even after I graduated, Fred Brook asked me to come back to school and type for him and I did, because I loved school so much.

One of my favorite places in the summer was the Ole swimming hole where our two creeks came together. My friends and I spent a lot of time there. It was called "The Girls' Swimming Hole. When the creeks got really low, we would take a shovel and try to dig it deeper. The more we would dig the more gravel would fill in, we never gained very much.

I remember when I was quite young people would call to each other and say "The gypsies are coming", I would run into the house and hide under the bed as they told me they stole little girls and took them with them. They camped in a place down by the creek at the end of our property. People always said they had some chickens missing.

Em Hanners played a very important part in our young lives. Every Thursday afternoon we would go to her house and she would read us Bible stories out of this great-big book and we would sing hymns. She would take us to Riverside, Brown County Park and Spring Mill Park and we would have a picnic lunch. Sometimes she couldn't afford to hire a school bus and we would ride in the back of Lester Deflny's big truck. She was very good to us.

A big thing in the summer in Freetown was the "Free Show". Lawrence Noe ran the reel and it would break every once in awhile, we would wait patiently until he got the reel re-wound.

I went with my dad to Dora McKain's and he purchased the Freetown Free Park in July, 1939. Dan Vader, Fred Meyer, Harry Winklepleck, Tom Sprague, C. C. Forgey, Orville Mann, Dave Stogdill, W. R. (Red) Forgey, Wayne Goble, Borcie Deaver, Hazel Deaver, Lawerence Nor and Frank Denny were the Town Board in those days. My dad was the Justice of the Peace and he drew up the papers. Dora was such a nice person, kind and very gentle. Of this group Orville Mann is the only one still living. He is now 90 years old.

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, my dad and I had gone to town. My dad and I did this quite often. My dad said, "You know it is about time for a bank robbery," and sure enough, bang went a gum and they were robbing the bank. I think they blamed it on to John Dillinger. I always wondered if he didn't get blamed for a lot of robberies he didn't do.

Hazel Tinch Deaver had the Drug store and she had penny candy with marbles in the middle and even rings. She had a table with l0 cent items, and a lot of us did our Christmas shopping there. It was always so pretty and clean. Hazel never had any children. I still have things I bought there.

My Uncle Brade had a dog named Woodrow, one day he went to town and they tin-canned him. George Stogdill had a hoop-pole factory down on the corner across from the place I now own. Brass Wheeler had bought a new car, which was called a Brush. It was the first car in Freetown. When Woodrow came running from town with the tin cans tied to his tail, he knocked George Stogdill down in the shavings. Bee StilwelI, mom's nephew, was running after the dog to get the cans off and he asked George what had happened and he said Brass Wheeler had run through his Hoop-pole place and knocked him down. Bee said, "No, George it was just Brade's dog", George didn't know he had the tin cans tied to him. George thought it had been Brass in his Brush car. It probably had a tin can sound. It set in our barn and I don't know whatever happened to it.

My mom worked at the Frank Wheeler hotel for years. They paid her 50 cents a week. She said they ironed everything, sheets pillowcases, towels, and wash cloths. This was with those cast iron irons. The "Travelin' Men" would come in on the train with their sample cases and they would hire someone with a rig to take them to Kurtz, Houston, Maumee and Storyville with their samples where they would take orders.

One night at supper, Brass Wheeler's son, Babe, said, "I believe I will just eat me two suppers, then I won't have to eat any breakfast". He wanted to go fishing early the next morning. Men would also come in on the train to hunt. Red Forgey was their hunting guide.

My grandfather, George Lucas, and my Uncle Clark Lucas built several of the houses in and around Freetown. Some of them are still standing.

My mom told me that my grandmother, Nancy, had to make a new rag carpet every year, cause all the boys would put their ice skates on in our living room. The creeks were great for ice skating in the early 1900s and even the late 1800s.

My dad had several properties in Laporte, three houses right across from the Ruinley Factory where they made Rumley Tractors and one on the same side of the street, one on Pine Lake and one on Trusdale Avenue.

He named me Sarah after his mother and Phyllis after himself, as his name was Daniel Phillip Vader. About 1943 Joe Lucas changed my name to Sally as he did not like the name Sarah and I have gone by that almost ever since.

In 1946 I married Joe Lucas who lived near Brownstown and a year later we had a son, Danny Joe Lucas. He went to Freetown School for eleven years, then in his senior year Freetown consolidated into the Brownstown School system. He graduated from Brownstown Central in 1965. He then went on to Indiana University for seven years where he received a Masters in Education. He taught at Nashville, IN for a few years and then moved to Bozeman, MT, where he taught Bilingual languages and received his Ph.D. in the School at Bozeman. He then moved to Berea, KY, where he taught and then moved to Montgomery, AL, where he taught at Alabama Christian College. He then moved to Searcy, AR, where he taught at Harding College. He is now back in Montgomery, where he teaches at Alabama State University. In 1970 he married, Joy Kent and she also teaches at Faulker University. They have three sons, two are in college and one goes to a Magnum School in Montgomery.

In 1951, our second son, David, was born and he went to school at Freetown for eight years and then went on to Brownstown to graduate in 1969 from Brownstown Central. He then went to Kentucky Christian College for five years and received two degrees there and then went to Marshall University for two years to get his Masters degree. He also taught at Kentucky Christian College and Marshall University. David traveled for twenty-two years with "The Watchmen" quartet and was the Director of Operation Evangelize. He married Sharon Self from Virginia Beach, VA and they have three children.

David now teaches at Ohio University Southern campus and has his P.H.D. He teaches speech, Spanish and Communication and works with the Boy Scouts. Both David and Danny are scout leaders.

In 1957, our third son, Doug, was born and he attended Freetown School for five years and then went on to Brownstown to graduate from Brownstown Central in 1975. He attended Kentucky Christian College and graduated in 1979. He went two years to Cincinnati Bible Seminary (CBS) to get his Masters degree. He married Penny Tapp. They have two sons. Doug is Director of Team Expansion and was President of the National Missionary convention at Lexington Rupp arena in 1996. They have lived in several foreign countries and helped people get housing in Albania and Kosova. The Freetown Church of Christ has played a big part in our lives.
