FAMILY HISTORY:
   POEM: by Pearson B. Holden:
I thought my troubles all subide
and I would be at rest.
To my surprise I heard the cries of mourning and of grief.
My lovely baby where are you now,
I cannot you behold.
Them sparkling eyes that charmed me so, 
is with thy body cold....
Farewell, farewell my loving babe,
You cannot come to me, 
But through the mercy of the Lord,
I shall go to thee.
P.B. HOLDEN March the 6th, the year of our Lord  A.D. 1864 ?

Composed by P. B. Holden on the death of his little daughter that departed this life July 5, 1842, while from home on his district preaching.  He composed that a few weeks after he came home..in the year 1842.  P.B. Senior.  Sarah Jane Law's name also on the poem.  There is a discrepancy on the date of this poem. The family Bible record has been used as the source due to the fact a minister would probably try to keep his Bible records accurate.  Severl children died young.

PICTURE:  Ohio Collections....Home in the Wilderness....early sketch of home...Home In Wilderness; Auglaise River; Memorial Sign...(Pictures filed on disk)
HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF OHIO by Henry Howe.p. 465
       The view, "A Home in the Wilderness" represents a log tavern in the western part of the county, on the road to Charloe.  It was built about thirty years since by two men, assisted by a female.  It has long been a favorite
stopping-place for travellers, as many as twenty or thirty having, with their horses, frequently tarried here over night, when journeying through the wilderness.  The situation is charming.  It is on the banks of the Auglaize,
which flows in a ravine some fifteen or twenty feet below.  All around stand massive trees, with foliage luxuriantly developed by the virgin fertility of the soil, while numerous branches lave in the passing waters.  We came suddenly upon the place on a pleasant day in June, 1846, and were so much pleased with its primitive simplicity and loveliness as to stop and make a more familiar acquaintance.  We alighted from our fatihful "Pomp" turned him loose among the fresh grass, drew our portfolio from our saddle-bags, and while he was rolling amid the clover in full liberty, and the ladies of the house were seated sewing in the open space between the parts of the cabin, fanned by a gentle breeze--we took a sketch as a memorial of a scene we shall never forget, and to present to our readers a view of "A Home in the Wilderness."
   
TRAVELLING NOTES 
       The foregoing comprises about all my old account of Putnam county. Indeed, the entire county then was largely forest and water.  The most interesting point is my picture of the "Home in the Wilderness."  That picture proved to be one of the most attractive things in my old book.  It seemed to touch a chord in the hearts of multitudes who had begun life in the midst of such scenes. It is noteworthy that now, after the lapse of forty-three years, I should receive a letter from a stranger, a then boy, who sat by my side when I drew that picture, which tells me all the circumstances, but which I had long since forgotten.  His letter is from Dawn, Darke county, Ohio, dated April 2, 1889, and signed S.S. Holden.  It gives some interesting things about the old home, long since vanished.  It was prompted partly by learning that the painter of an oil painting of it had put in the claim that his painting was an original design of his own. We quote: 
       "I am by profession a minister of the Gospel, of the United Brethren Church (in Christ). I will be qualified that the picture on your letter-head is a picture of the man who drew the sketch of our home about the year 1846. I am a
son of P.B. Holden, whose name appears on the sign as you drew it.  I was then 14 years old, and recollect it about as vividly as if it had occurred but yesterday--your riding into the yard on horseback; getting off your horse;
laying your paper, pencils, etc. about you on the old sled or mud boat, which lay in the yard at that time, and is shown in the picture, and watching you draw the scene.  Such an occurrence was too rare not to make an impression on a boy like me.  A man named Sebastian Srouge built the house.  He died and was buried
near there.  Two of his sons were named George and Albert--the latter was a school teacher.  His widow married Judge Perkins, and they moved to Williams county.      While you were making the sketch, my mother and a lady school teacher sat in the open space between the two rooms, sewing.  Before you had completed it my
brother and a Mr. Whiting came through the yard where we were sitting, having been to a deer lick; One of them carried his gun at trail arms and the other carried his gun on his shoulder, and with them was our dog Tyler.
       It was well the dog was along.  His name marks the era of the event and helps to confirm the truth of Mr. Holden's statement.  The hard-cider campaign had only passed a few years before, when the old Whigs had sung "For Tippecanoe and Tyler too."  Hence it was natural for them to thus name their dogs "Tip" for
Tippecanoe and "Tyler" for Tyler too.  Humor comes from incongruous associations so Mark Twain named his jumping frog Daniel Webster--both were heavy-weights: 
one from brains and brawn, the other from shot.     The "Home" was on the main route from Kalida to Charloe, about five miles northwest of the former.  The Samuel Holden, who lived there as stated, was an United Brethren clergyman.  So the home seemed to have done service as both parsonage and tavern.  Later, as I have been told, the Rev. Branson Good made it his home, and the building stood until about thirty years since.      Since receiving the letter from his son, I find in the Pioneer Reminiscences of the county a statement by Mr. George Skinner which leads me to believe that this was the first house built in Putnam County.  He says: "The first building that could be designated a house was erected by two men and a woman in section 21, Perry township, by Sebastian Sroufe."  He then states it was on the Auglaize, and that he was buried close by.
   
CHURCH HISTORY/NEWSPAPER ARTICLES  
KALIDA SENTINEL VOL. IX, #36, JANUARY 28, 1864
   A Split in the Churches - We publish this week the proceedings of a conference held at the house of A. Shindledecker, in Mercer county.  A certain number of >our preachers have deemed it right and proper to preach
"Christ and him  crucified" while a large majority have thought it more to their interests to preach Abolitionism.  This being the case, and many church communicants being continually denounced because they politically adhered to the doctrines of the >Fathers.  This our Constitution gave them the right to do, and for this they  are abused, and for this abuse they have withdrawn from the church with whom  they formerly fellowshiped.  They now seek to
inauguarate a society where their ears will not continually be saluted by cries of "Traitor," "Secessionists,"
and "Butternuts" from the pulpit.
   We say the move is eminently right and proper, and coming as it does from the old fathers in the church, cannot fail of good results.

Page 2, column 2: The New Church Movement: Religous Conference - Jackson tp.
Putnam Co. Dec. 10th 1863.  We, the undersigned, met at P.B. Holden's house in the county and State aforesaid, and after taking into consideration the way the ministers of the church of the United Brethren in Christ have polluted the pulpit, disgraced themselves and the sacred calling by participating in political matters, and the way in which they have persecuted us as ministers, formerly of the same church, for opinion's sake, as an example for which we quote? resolution gotten up and adopted in some of their Conferences and published in their church organ as follows:  "Resolved. That we will neither fellowship any one as a member of our society, nor receive any one into membership, who sympathizes in any manner with the so-called Peace party, which is supporting C.L. Vallandingham for Governor of Ohio," &c.  Now, in view of such resolution and unbecoming and unchristianlike names, such as Copperheads, Butternuts, Rebels, &c., that have been piled upon us for opinion's sake, and as we do not think such conduct becoming for professors of religion or men professing and sanctified to the ministry; -- therefore, Resolved, That we will withdraw from said church and form ourselves into a separate body, to be named the Reformed United Brethren in Christ.   Adjourned to meet at A. Shindledecker's house in Mercer county, Ohio, on the 25th day of December, A.D. 1863, to transact the further business of this body.

Hi Scott,
          Ellie Johnson wrote to say that you are descended through Thomas, son of Benjamin Holden. I am not sure if
we ever corresponded, but I did have you in my database, so someone close to you had contacted me.
          Anyway, here are the notes I have for Thomas S. Holden. I found S. as the middle initial on 3 different
documents.

                   CK and see it Jemina and Thomas are sealed to correct mother.....Believe they may originally have been sealed to Benjamin and last wife, Margaret....Later research revealed that Margaret was not the mother..

Will Bk 4, Pg 430 Harrison County, West Virginia.  Notes under Alexander for full details.  Jemima not married at time will was written.

Old letter (in my possession) to P.B. Holden (Pearson B. Holden, my 2nd great, grandfather) from son of Jemima Holden...named William E. Reed, of Brinton postoffice, Champaign County, Ohio October 26, 1850.  He stated in the letter that P. B. Holden is his uncle, "I am a son of Jemima Holden's.  Irvine C. Barnette and my mother have been dead 17 years and I was left with a stepfather.  Of course you no (know) him, Thomas Reed."
My note: It is possible that Irvine C. Barnette was his father.

of interest:
