Charles BURNHAM, one of the oldest residents of Franklin twp., died at his home near Hardin, on Thursday after a long and painful illness. His death has been expected for a long time, as his malady, dropsy, with other complications, was beyond the reach of medicine. Deceased was born near Woodstock, Champaign Co., Ohio, January 23rd, 1831, where he grew to manhood. He emigrated to Iowa in 1855 and located in Franklin twp on the farm where he died. He returned to Ohio in 1858 and was married to Elizabeth DEE, and in 1859 came back to Iowa to reside in the home that he had prepared. Four children were the fruits of this union. The following named survive him: Hilas C. BURNHAM and Mrs. Elma M. HINMAN. On May 24th, 1979 his wife died. On May 22d, 1881, he was again married to Mrs. A.D. AMES, who still survives him. He has held a number of offices of trust in the township, having been elected assessor and collector of taxes for a number of terms and has held the office of justice of the peace for almost 18 years. The funeral services were held at the M.E. church at Hardin. [note: extracted from a lengthly obit] | BURNHAM, Charles (I22351)

"IN CONSEQUENCE OF the want of flouring mills in the county, flour and other bread stuffs had to be procured from distant and more favored settlements. Urbana, Perrysburg and Sandusky city were the principal points visited.
"On one occasion, Vance and McKinnis, who were warm friends, had occasion to go to Urbana for provisions, each with his own team of oxen. Everything went along smoothly until they arrived at the Mud Fort near the south line of the county on their return. [Fort Necessity]
"From that point there were two roads leading to Findlay, one of which Vance wanted to take, but McKinnis objected, desiring to travel the other. They were in a dilemma, neither wanting to yield the point and yet both compelled to travel the same route as a protection against the savages as well as to assist each other in case either team should get stalled in the mud.
"After a heated discussion of the matter for some time, and not being able to agree, McKinnis proposed this novel compromise. They should take the road indicated by Vance with the understanding that if either of the teams stalled before reaching Findlay, that Vance should submit to a whipping from McKinnis, but if they did not stall, that he - McKinnis - would submit to a whipping from Vance for insisting that they should take the other road. The whipping was to be done with an ox-whip. To this Vance agreed.
"THEY THEN STARTED, with Vance in the lead. In this way they traveled until they had almost reached Findlay, without meeting with any mishap and McKinnis began to shrug his shoulders and had made up this mind that Vance had beaten him for once. But Vance's team suddenly halted, having failed to touch solid bottom in one of the mud holes so common at the foot of Chamberlain's Hill. Nor could they with all the whipping and coaxing expended on them by Vance extricate the wagon and with a rather solemn countenance, McKinnis was called upon to assist. He readily consented and with the help of his team, Vance's wagon was soon placed on solid ground again.
"Now came McKinnis' time and insisting on the contract, Vance accepted the situation as gracefully as possible while his opponent who had fairly won laid on the ox-goad right lively."

McKinnis-Poe
PHILIP MCKINNIS
Was the second son of Judge Robert McKinnis, one of the very earliest settlers of the county, and was born in Butler Co, Pa., January 9th, 1801. He came with his father's family to Ross Co, O., when young. In 1822 the family came to this township, and settled on the river, near the present site of Cronninger Mills.
In 1827 he married Susan Dukes, and commenced life on the farm now owned by Conrad Renninger. He was a man of strong constitution, scarcely knowing what it was to be sick. He had a limited common school education, but was a man of good hard common sense. He had a family of eleven children, nine of whom are living. Mr. McK, after a long residence in the county, sold out and removed to Putnam County in 1855, near Gilboa, and finally to near Leipsic, where he died in 1868, his wife surviving him some two years. Their remains now rest in Maple Grove Cemetery.
Mr. McKinnis was a fair specimen of the frontiersman. Possessed of great endurance, courage and industry, backed by the strictest honesty, he won and held the respect of all who knew him. His word was as good as his bond; he punctually fulfilled all his engagements, redeemed all his promises, and faithfully discharged every duty. He was a member of the old School Baptist church for over thirty years. His son William, who resides in Findley [sic] is the only one of his family now living in the county. | MCKINNIS, Philip (I15985)

Death of Dr. Chambers Recalls Struggle of Early Physician
Death this week claimed a pioneer physician and helped to write a "finis" to an era of medical history that our country will never see again. Dr. D. P. Chambers was one of the last of the old time country doctors.
Dr. D. P. Chambers was born in Dade County Missouri, June 2, 1872. He departed this life in Stilwell, May 6, 1957, aged 84 years, 11 months and 4 days.
Dr. Chambers moved from Missouri to Centerton, Arkansas, when only a small child. He grew to manhood in this Northwest Arkansas community. He studied pre-medicine under an older brother, Dr. R. O. Chambers, of Centerton, Arkansas. He entered Barnes Medical College at St. Louis, Missouri, where he received his medical degree in 1896.
At his graduation he was given special honors by the college for having won the highest grade point average of any student in the history of the college, to that time.
In his senior year of college he was united in marriage to Lemma Ella King of Springtown, Arkansas. To this union five sons and one daughter were born. He is survived by three sons: Wendell Chambers of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Byrl and Paul Chambers of Stilwell. His wife, two sons and a daughter preceeded him in death.
Dr. Chambers came to Stilwell in 1913. He practised {sic} medicine for many years before graded roads came to Adair County.
When he moved to this locality he was the owner of the only car in the county.
However, because of lack of roads, he used his car for only city calls and, sometimes he might venture for a mile or so outside the towns limits. Almost all his calls were made in a horse and buggy.
Often he found it impossible to use even a buggy so that many of his professional visits wede {sic} completed by horse back.
His son recalls that many times his father would ride his horse within two or three miles of a home, tie up his horse to a tree and walk the remaining distance along a foot trail up the mountain. His old saddle bags are a cherished heirloom of the family.
His stack of old unpaid accounts amounting to thousands of dollars, accumulated over a fifty year period, are a monument to his service to his fellow man in their hour of need. His later years were cheered by the many people who would stop him on the streets to express their gratitude to him for having saved their lives.
Dr. Chambers was a member of the Indian Territory Pioneer Association, and one of his favorite stories of early day experiences was his horseback trip alone, across the prairies of Oklahome to make the run for land at the opening of the Cherokee Strip. He staked a claim but the call to medicine was too strong, so he saddled his pony and rode back to Arkansas to enter medical college.
Dr. Chambers was a life long christian {sic} an poined {sic} the Methodist Church at an early age. His philosophy of medicine was that God and medical science work and in and for {sic} the healing of mankind. | CHAMBERS, Dr Dorsey Perry (I17144)
