Mr. F.D. Hockman for the following interesting sketch of the life of one of the early pioneers, who came to the wilds of Northwest Ohio a trifle over a century ago. Author of this sketch is Mr. Hockman's stepfather William Rath, known to many of our readers of maturer years and one of the pioneers of Tiffin township. Mr. Rath passed away in the spring of 1910 at the advanced age of 84 Ed.

Grandfather Enos Partee was born in West Virginia June 2, 1794. When quite young he came with his parents to Adams county, Ohio, where he spent his younger years, married and had four children (Hester, Ann, George H, William E, and James), before he decided in 1824 to locate in the wilds of what was then known as Williams county, whither several of his cousins had gone before him.
Shouldering his trusty rifle, he set out for the Maumee valley country. Arriving here without any means, he rented a piece of ground from Robert Kepler on the Maumee river to raise a crop of corn. Between times he made a living shooting and trapping game which abounded in the dense forest at that time, and the pelts brought him a little cash money.
Having harvested his corn crop, he started back to Adams county to bring his family, which during his absence had been increased by the birth of an son (Enos) to the new home. The long burden some trip was made in an ox wagon in which the Partee family arrived at Brunersburg on Christmas day in 1824. They spent the rest of the winter in a little cabin near the Kibble Run.

Having no money wherewith to buy land. Enos Partee and family had to depend on the animals of the forest for a living, but he soon took a "Squatter's Rights" on the farm now known as the Houck farm, built a cabin, cleared off some of the ground and planted an orchard, securing the necessary fruit trees from a nursery on the present Krotz's farm and started by "Johnny Appleseed," who lived among the Indians and planted apple seeds on suitable ground wherever he went.
After getting his place in shape so that he could properly house and shelter his family, he began to accumulate some money, out of the woods to enter the land at government prices which had to be paid in cash. But before he had sufficient funds to accomplish this, another man stepped in and entered the land from under him and never paid him one cent for all the work he had done on the place.
At about that time a man named Ephraim Douty settle in Tiffin township on the farm now owned by T. J. Tittle. Mr. Douty's family living in Tiffin Township and being anxious for company, he persuaded grandfather Enos Partee to take a lease of four acres of land on his farm until he could make another start.
He went there, put up a cabin and again found himself dependent upon the animals of the forest to earn the price of a farm. It was a hard and slow task, but game, such as bear,deer, wolves, otters, raccoon and mink, was plentiful. By hard work and experiencing all the trials and tribulation of pioneer life, he managed to save enough from his game and pelt money to enter 110 acres in Tiffin township, where his grandson Elmer Partee now lives.
While he was living on the Douty farm, his second daughter, Lovina M. was born. She was the first white child to come into the world in Tiffin township. At that time there were three Indians to every white man in this section. In due time three more children (Phebe, John, and Sarah) were born to Grandfather Enos Partee. With a wife and nine children to support he began to realize what hard times meant, but he never faltered or became negligent or unmindful of his duties.
For the first five years all the wheat they raised was sick and could not be used, so the family had to depend on corn for their bread. There were no roads, only trails, and they few and far between.
The nearest mill was at Perrysburg on the Maumee river near Toledo. The river was navigable then, there being no dams to negotiate. The corn was loaded into canoes and then taken to Perrysburg to be ground into meal or flour. Often the trip to Perrysburg and return would require more than a week time.
One of the greatest difficulties encountered in raising a family at that time was providing the necessary clothing for the children. Part of the time their raiment consisted of furs. Later on, when some of the land had been cleared a few head of sheep were secured. Now grandmother Partee understood spinning and yarn and weaving cloth, they were able to make their own cloth and warm and comfortable garments. Style was, of course a secondary consideration.
Wild bees were thick in that section in those years. They were much sought after for their honey. Grandfather Partee at one time sold $60 worth of wild honey, enough to buy a good horse.
Settlers were so few for years that there was no opportunity to give the children a proper education
As the Partee boys and girls grew up they naturally married off. Hester Ann married Henry Brown; George H. first married a woman, whose name I do not recall, and as his second wife Ann Gurwell; William E. married Sarah Wisler; James married Elizabeth Benner; Lovina M. married William Rath and at her death left seven children; Phebe married Wellington Anson; John E. married Sarah Ingle and Sarah married Franklin M.R. Winans.
Grandfather Enos Partee married a second time, his second wife's name was Catherine Entz. She was a very good, religious old lady. It may be said that Enos Partee, too was a faithful and every honest man found a welcome at his home. What the number of children and grandchildren is, I am unable to say. But all his children have gone on to the life beyond, unless it be Enos M. concerning whose later life I have no information.
Grandfather Enos Partee in his old days reaped an abundant harvest from the toll of his earlier days, for he had a comfortable living and had added 80 acres to his original farm. He departed this life April 5, 1876, at the ripe old age of 81 years, 10 months and 3 days.
