Under the name of Isaac Hiatt. The Hiatt family were among the worthy pioneers, who are of English estraction, and to whom we are please to allot a space in the columns of the Clinton County history. Isaac is a son of Hezehiah Hiatt, who was born in Guilford County, N.C., 22 March, 1786. When he was but a child of four years, his father, Soloman, died, leaving him fatherless, and many responsibilities resting upon his widowed mother, who bore the task well and reared Hezekiah with honor and respect to both. In the year 1809, he emigrated West, locating in the present limits of Clinton County, Union Township, when he purchased fifty acres of land, to which he added during life until he became one of the prominent land-owners of the county. Soon after his settlerment, the war of 1812 naturally threw in his way many difficulites and unpleasantness, and enar the close of that struggle he was drafted, but never entered upon service. He was one of the hardy pioneers and adventurous settlers, to whose courage and calm endurance must be attributed the after prosperity of the county. The marks of those early settlers and finely developed country should regarded by after generations as monuments to their lives. He married, in the year the county was organized, 1810, Ann Perkins, who was born in the same State, county, and the same year as he. She came to Ohio in 1806, and first settled near Waynesville, but at the date of her marriage lived in the present limits of Union Township, Clinton County, where
her father and step-mother both died her mother having died in her native State. Hezekiah and wife trod the path of united life for over three score years, when her death in June, 1872, severed them; but two weeks later he, too, entered his final rest. After having been long and useful members of the church of their choice, "the Friends," they spent a long and an evenful life in this county, such as in worthy of the imitation and admiration of furture posterity. They were the parents of ten children, nine of whom grew to majority, and seven are now living, Isaac being the second eldest...Sent by Howard Hiatt Wilmington, Ohio
Hezekiah Hiatt was born the 27th of March 1786 in LIberty Township in Guilford Co., N.C. His mother's maiden name was Sarah Hunt, the daughter of Thomas and Anne Beale Hunt. She was thirty-nine years of age at the time of his birth. Before she married Solomon Hiatt she had been the widow of John Unthank who left her with a family of small children. Four uears after the birth of Hezekiah Hiatt her husband, Solmon Hiatt died at the age of thirty-one, leaving two sons and a baby daughter one year of age.
Sarah Hiatt assumed the responsibility for the two sets of fatherless children and kept them together. It was natural that as the boys grew older John Unthank Junior and Hezekiah Hiatt should seek to take care of themselves. When Hezekiah was 21 years of age he came to Ohio to join his half-brother, John Unthank who had gone to Ohio in 1807. In 1808 John Unthank had built a grist mill on Anderson's Fork where the Port William Mill now stands. The need
of a mill was so great that people came for miles to it and the trails over which they came eventually became roads. The road from the county seat, Wilmington, to Port William, was opened at an early day so that the settlers could get to Unthank's Mill. It was a place of resort on Saturday evening where the settlers would wrestle, jump, race and otherwise disport themselves. The first township elections were held in the mill and, whether throught the suggestion of John Unthank or Hezekiah Hiatt or otherwise, the township was called Liberty which was the name of the township in which they had been born in North Carolina.
Hezekiah Hiatt did not stay at the mill but bought fifty acres of land which he cleared in 1809. The next year on August 8, 1810, when he had built a cabin he married Ann Perkins who was born in the same county and yar as Hezekiah. However, she had come to Ohio three years before he came. Ann's mother, Ann Perkins, daughter of Isaac and Ann Leonard Perkins had died and her father had married again.
Isaac Perkins, the father of Ann, was born in England on June 30th 1762 and came to American prior to 1800 and had married Ann Leonard in Guilford County, North Carolina. He came to Clinton County, Ohio in 1806 and died here
Oct 31, 1828.
Hezekiah and Ann were married in a log house and then built the brick house on the sam location one mile south-wet of Buck Run Creek across from what is now know as the Cammack Farm. This brick house had 18 inch walls and was one of the stations on the Underground Railroad, along which slaves were helped to freedom before the Civil War. The wooden interior of the house which was built in 1808 was destroyed by fire on Friday December 28th 1945. This house had a fireplace in each room and also in the cellar.
On Sept. 3, 1949, the brick house was torn down and the date of April 2, 1848 was found by Charles Howell of Gurneyville. This is the date of construction of the brick house by Hezekiah Hiatt.

Possibly the highlighting event in all Clinton County in 1833 was the visit paid here that August by Helen McGregor, a trained elephant, a real lady, and show stopped of the Green and Brown Menagerie Circus.
Helen was snared while a baby in India and landed on Yankee shores in 1831. While in passage on the Atlantic, a hurricane lashed the ship, pitching terrified Helen into the briny deep. But the crew was not to be denied. They
rose to the occasion and the squealing pachyderm was hauled back aboard, wet but breathing. But young Helen suffered a shoulder fracture in the process.
Once in the states, Helen was put in the care of a keeper named Bert H. Clark. The shoulder mended and Helen hit the road with Green and Brown.
The morning after the Wilmington show, the troupe headed for Xenia but misfortune was due to dog Helen's hugh footsteps. She came down too hard in a chuckhole near the Greene County line (yes, they had them too,) and the
shoulder fracture was reopened. In true stage tradition, poor Helen tried to make it on three legs, but the pain was too much.
This state of affairs continued along the road until a farmer name Hezekiah Hiatt took pity on the beast and gave it shelter in a shed with Clark staying on as nurse. Helen was allowed to roam about the shed but one night,
while Clark was sleeping, she opened the door and made her way through Hiatt's fence.
Helen was retrieved and Clark thought it best to chain her by the right leg to a stake. In this position, Helen became a local celebrity with the countryside gathering to gawk at her for seven days.
But such captivity affected Helen. On awaking on the eighth morning, Clark found her lying down. He tried to raise her but to no avail. Hiatt's son Isaac, volunteered a trip to Xenia to get a derrick and some stout rope.
With this, Helen was restored to a standing position but in the struggle, her hind leg was broken. She sank back to the ground and died seven days later.
As Helen was a queen in her own right, it was decided to give her a proper burial. An enormous hole was dug a hundred yards from the barn and two yoke of
oxen tried to drag Helen to her tomb but they were not able. Young Hiatt added his ox team and six oxen pulled Helen to her grave, a few feet at a time.
Two years later, young Hiatt was in Cincinnati with a load of produce for sale. He met a man named Doorfield who kept a museum at the corner of Third and Main Sts. there and offered the youth $200 if he would deliver Helen's bones to the museum door. Isaac went home and began digging at once.
When he delived the skelton, Doorfield was amazed at its size and decided to keep just the skull and lower jaw bones. For these, he gave Isaac $50 and Helen a final resting place.Will of Hezekiah Hiatt
The will was written on the twelfth day of September, 1852. He bequeathed to his wife, Ann Hiatt, the farm on which e lived for her natural life and three hundred dollars worth of household good and personal property of her choice. After her death all the estate is to be equally divided amoung his four daughter, Sarah Whinery, Mary Ann Birdsall, Susan Leonard and Phenia Oglesbee, share and share alike.
He said that he had given his tow sons, Isaac and Allen Hiatt, their portion of his estate. He felt that his son, Amos, had not had as much as either of the other two, so he gave him three hundred dollars out of the proceeds of the sale of personal property to make his share equal to that of Isaac and Allen.
At the death of his wife, Ann Hiatt, the residure of the estate is to go to his four daughters. He appointed Allen Hiatt and Joseph Hiatt as executors.
The Witnesses were Bebee Truedell and William Crumley. C.M Bosworthidentified the signature of Hezekiah Hiatt.

Elizabeth had a child by CLINTON, she had worked for him when she got pregnant, he was said to be married so Elizabeth took her son and married George Burger. They went to Vermillion, SD where he died by jumping into a hey stack and landed on a pitchfork which killed him. Charles then lived with his grandfather for awhile and ended up taking the name of Stull as his surname. He then was known as Charles Clinton Stull. Grandma had a picture of Elizabeth a sister and her parents but could not identify them. I found another cousin who had the same picture with names on it. I had found what I thought was the names from Census, etc., but once I cross identified these names it proved correct. There was was another picture of the STULL family at a camp gathering, they settled Skidmore, MO.
Grandma swears that this grandmother of hers was not a Stull, but that she took this name for a child that she had out of wedlock, a farmer for whom she worked and of whom a child was born.
She was also married to a Wolfkill and was a member of the Dunkard church in Kansas.
From letters and cards it still seems that her maiden name would have been Stull, also possibly spelled Stuhl, Stahl, or Stoll?
Since we know that she was a Dunkard, we think that these families were in close proximity and aquaintance with the other families. Grandma tells us that marriages were pre - arranged and not the choice of individuals.
18 Jan 1987 I have begun correspondance with Lorraine Lakey, Dau of Maude Teeter M. Henry Stillman & #2 Johnson. Lorraine will assist in putting this information together and will send information to us. I need to send
her a picture and copies of information-post card letters, etc.
In the summer of 1986 we went to Kansas and Neb. area to look for this grandmothers resting place, but were not able to find it. Many of the old cemeteries have been badly kept, or totally plowed under.
We do have a picture of this grandmother with a sister and her parents, but have not proven the identy of them yet. (I have definitely proven this now and identified the individuals in the pictures).

She was the first person who told me of _Old_ Stull Cemetery, "the real gateway" (the one pictured above, vs. the familiar one below).
"The one in town isn't the right one," she told me. "The old cemetery has the pentagram. Five cedar trees were planted in the cemetery -- they marked the points of the pentagram. I think there are only two cedar trees there now."
![][2]You mean all this time, all those frat boys and goths and reporters were going to the wrong cemetery? You mean the cemetery with the fence around it, the one marked with 'No Trespassing" signs, the one with the limestone chapel that was vandalized and eventually knocked down... you mean, all this was inflicted on an innocent place of repose for souls' mortal remains?
Could it be that for at least 30 years, the mythology surrounding 'Stull' was popularly focused on the wrong cemetery in Stull? A pretty devilish prank, if you think about it.
This blog is a work-in-progress -- updates and revelations will be posted as they turn up. And as always we are counting on you, dear readers, to tell us what's really going on. Tell us anything you have heard or know about Stull mythology...**We're off to see the devil (notes)** Old Stull Cemetery lies less than a few miles from the cemetary in Stull proper. (Lest this article be responsible for a new batch of vandalism, we're not publishing the exact location for the time being).
A few of the gravestones were illegible: winter, wind, rain and lichen. The earliest legible stone (no last names), read "Louisa 1866."
Of the nearly 40 stones I counted, 20 were the headstones of infants. Some were marked "Baby," some marked "Infant Dau" or "Infant Son." Some had no names, or only initials ("P"). All were marked by tiny stones.
The adults were remarkably long-lived, many over 80 (dates noted are dates of death): Louisa 1866 Richard 1881 Hermina 1898 Ralph 1910 Lettie 1903 Infant Dau 1900 Infant Son 1893 Ida 1891 Rose 1968 Mabel Irene 1999
Based on Louisa's death date and the few other illegible stones, I figured that the cemetery was established around 1850. There were two new occupants of Old Stull Cemetery since the '30s.
![][3] Most of the fallen markers seem to be victims of time and weather. Interestingly, too, many of the fallen markers had an image of a hand pointing upward, while none of the markers still standing had such imagery. A few stones seemed to be moved or taken.**Portals to Hell** I have no idea what a portal to Hell should look like, other than maybe like Las Vegas.
The thicket surrounding the old cemetery is dotted with wild eastern cedars, but only two old cedars still stand on the humble lawn of repose.
Apparently, all portals to Hell are marked by a pentagram visible only to the evil elite. When mere and bovine mortals (us, the prey), cross the invisible lines of a profane pentagram, it's said that we feel a sharp drop in temperature, a sudden chill.
My thermometer held steady at 60 degrees during 10 minutes of perimeter patrol, then five minutes of grid-walking.
**Stull Cemetery Lore** - In a 1995 trip to Colorado, the Pope redirects the flight path of his private plane to avoid flying over the unholy ground of Stull Cemetery. - Reports of abundant paranormal phenomena from residents in the town: raps and banging; voices-often reported to be the voice of an old woman; weird clocks and indoor windstorms; ghostly children playing at night in the cemetery; time shifts and discrepancies, inexplicable loss of memory and disorientation. - Legend has it that the devil returns to Stull Cemetery -- only on the Spring Equinox and on Halloween (his busiest night) -- because one of his wives is buried there. Another rumor holds that the devil returns to Stull to visit the gravesite of his infant son.

Grandma swears that this grandmother of hers was not a Stull, but that she took this name for a child that she had out of wedlock, a farmer for whom she worked and of whom a child was born.
She was also married to a Wolfkill and was a member of the Dunkard church in Kansas.
From letters and cards it still seems that her maiden name would have been Stull, also possibly spelled Stuhl, Stahl, or Stoll?
Since we know that she was a Dunkard, we think that these families were in close proximity and aquaintance with the other families. Grandma tells us that marriages were pre - arranged and not the choice of individuals.
18 Jan 1987 I have begun correspondance with Lorraine Lakey, Dau of Maude Teeter M. Henry Stillman & #2 Johnson. Lorraine will assist in putting this information together and will send information to us. I need to send
her a picture and copies of information-post card letters, etc.
In the summer of 1986 we went to Kansas and Neb. area to look for this grandmothers resting place, but were not able to find it. Many of the old cemeteries have been badly kept, or totally plowed under.
We do have a picture of this grandmother with a sister and her parents, but have not proven the identy of them yet. (I have definitely proven this now and identified the individuals in the pictures).

According to other dates and places in this same notebook, Albert would have
been in Pine Creek, Ogle Co., Ill. at the time this was written.
Does not appear in the 1880 cenus with her parents.
There is a picture that I have which includes Elizabeth Stull/Burger/Wolfkill, taken Polo, Ogle Co., Ill. which is in Buffaloe Twnsp.
This picture has been verified and identity of sister established thru a decendent of Fredricka who has been doing addtional research.
20 June 1992 received a letter and copy of a duplicate picuter sent by Bonnie Everhart, a grand daughter of Fredrica Stull, sister of our grandmother Elizabeth.
Further the parentage is confirmed, that being Henry Stull and wife Mary Seibert. Mary died before 1882 when the families moved to Atchison Co., Mo.
From a letter sent by Bonnie Everhart, Sept. 1992, she wrote: "Here are some other random notes I thought might be of interest to you:"
"The migration date (Spring of 1862) of Henry and Mary Stull to Illinois with their family comes from a slip of paper found in Fredric's Bible written by her saying she came to Illinois with her parents in 1862. Court records show Henry and Mary sold their farm in Feb. or March (I forgot exact date just now). I was told it was customary for farmers to move early in Spring so they's have time to put a crop in at their new location. Since there were about 30 people involved in this move I feel sure that there is some mention of it in a newspaper either in PA or IL,, or both, but I have never found it or had much time to look for it. I would like very much to learn detail of the trip which I suspect was in wagon rather than by railroad. I could be wrong about that ...."The will of Ludwig Stull probated in 1806 names his children as: Henry, Jacob, William, Mary and John. Henry and Jacob got his "plantation" and they gave money over time to their sibling.
Will of Henry Stull, (the above named son of Ludwig) was probated in 1830. It names his wife , Susannah, and his chilren: Henry, Magdalena, and John, deceased (in 1825 Henry was adm. of John's estate per court records). son Henry got the plantation on which father lived. (Land records prove this is land from Ludwig to son Henry).
(McCauley's History of Franklin County lists tombstone incsriptions at Quincy Cemetery including:
Jacob Stull d. 1854 aged 82
Mary Stull b. Oct. 10, 1797, d. May 28, 1868
I have a note that says Mary was Jacob's spinster daughter rather than his wife. However, I believe his wife's name was Mary as I found an indenture dated 30 May 1797 signed by a Jacob Stoll, in which his wife, Mary, released her dower rights.
I found the will of the above named, written 20 Nov. 1851, probated Oct. 9, 1854. No wife is named so she is presumed to have predeceased him tombstone not located. Children per will: Sons: Solomon, Henry, George, Jacob, Lewis; Daughters Mary, Elizabeth (deceased), Dorothy, Nancy.
I believe this Jacob is the son of Ludwig and brother of our Henry. I told you about the Civil War letter written by a man who had a wife named Ruth and BROTHERS SOLOMON AND GEORGE. He was writing to his Cousin FREDRICA STULL. The letter writer might be Henry, Jacob or Lewis of the above named family --- or he could be from the Seibert side of the family.
They all seem to use the same first names.... The Jacob whose War injury is described in the letter is the son of Solomon, the son of Jacob. (1772-1854) Jacob was born in 1843 and died of his wounds on 7 June 1865. He was in Co. D, 148th Reg. of PA Vol. Inf.
I found a note from an acquaintance living in Ill. who copied from the history of Whiteside Co., Ill. that "George Stull was a pioneer settler at Jordon in 1836. His first wife Lucy Mae Coe (There is a Goe family back in Franklin Co., Pen.) and his second wife was Susan Potts whom he married in 1874."
This lady also found in Lee Co., Ill. marriages, (Lee was formed out of Ogle in 1839) a Clement S. Stull, married to Drucilla M. Wright on 16 Mar 1862.
I found mention that Jake Stull in Kansas had a dau. Hattie and a Dau. Blanche who married Thompsons.===========================================================================

The Keever family connection to the Stull lineage is through Annie Knepper, wife of Stephen Oliver Keever. Annie's parents were Hiram Knepper and Fredrica Seibert Stull. In 1887, Hiram and Fredrica sold their farm and moved to Atchison Co., Missouri. Fredreica's father, Henry, accompanied them. He is buried in Walkup Grove Cemetery in Atchison Co., having died Oct 24, 1887. It is our belief that his wife, Mary Seibert Stull died sometime prior to this and is buried int he vicinity of Polo, Ill. (Ogle Co.)

This may be the David Stull who is found in Reno Co., Darlow, Kansas at
the time Elizabeth was in the Old Folks Home operated by the Brethern. I have made contact with some of these families as of Aug. 12, 1992.
There are many Stull families in this area and buried in the Hutchinson
Cem. which is just north of Darlow.
I have records of difference, born 1840, died 1852. More precise dates
sent by Bonnie Everhart.
Born on a Monday, died on a Friday. Mary is listed as 8 years old in the 1850 census of Franklin Co., Penn.
Albert was married to Mary, probably in Omaha. Mary had two children at the time she married Albert. They had no children of their own. Mary died before Albert and he moved into the home of his niece and family, Goldie Teeter Hiatt at 2723 Monroe St. He died there around 1945 and is problably buried in the same cemetery as his sister, Laura, Grace Land Park, on 42nd and L St. Omaha, Neb.
He use to say that he could hold your hand and say a few words and get rid of warts. He had the kids believing in his magic as their warts disappeared after a short time.
Albert worked on the Rail Road for many years and had a rail road pention.Albert kept an autograph book, which is in the possession of Larry (NO this was stolen, think by Shane or her husband at the time, Tony Murcek, destroyed so much and probably sold for only a few dollars to buy drugs!) Anderson, in it there are some very inportant bits of information and very cute sayings. Many of the notes are very artistically done, and shows a great deal love and spirit, and love of God. There are very important genealogical and family notes.
It also is a way to trace movements, from Polo, Ill., Pine Creek, Ill., Tamer Co., Iowa, Morrill, Kansas, etc. Some notes of importance;

Mary was apparently married previously and had two children. My mother tells me it is absolute that Al did not have any children of his own. She cannot remember the names of the children, a boy and a girl.
They were living in Omaha when my mother was young, until about 10 or 12, he then moved in with Grandma Goldie in about 1939-40, on Monroe St. He died about 1945-46.
Ruby said that the two kids were older than her and may have been married, they wanted the house and could not take care of him, so he went to live with grandma.
