More About A BRAHAM NEISWANDER GRAHAM:Cause of Death: Heart failure. Age 72 Notes for A NGELIA POLING:Anbelia Poling was born in Perry County, Ohio, Feb. 26, 1826, died at her home in Pleasant township, Jan. 1, 1917, age ninety years, ten months and twenty-three days. She was left an orphan at the age of three years, and was the last of a family of ten children to pass to her reward. She was joined in matrimony with Abraham Graham on Oct. 19, 1847, Rev. Philip Swartz officiating. To this union were born seven children, five sons and two daughters, three sons having preceded her to the spirit world. She leaves two sons, H. V. and John W.

She was converted and baptized and joined the church of the United Brethren at Pleasant Hill, about sixty-five years ago. For eighty-five years she lived in the community in which she died. Grandma Graham, as she was affectionately called by all who knew her was an optimistic Christian, whose mind was free from gloomy presentiments. In her youth she graspet the great truth, that God is love, and because of that love she felt the approval of her unbounded cheerfulness. The young and old in the community will miss this good woman's counsels and endearing words. For almost five years she lingered on a bed of suffering, but two days before she died God merelfully benumbed her pain and her suffering was ended. Much indeed, may be said of this good and gentle woman, her many charties and qualities of heart were known to all who were so fortunate as to come within the range of her acquaintance; but any sketch of her life would be manifestly incomplete if no mention were made of her intellectual attributes and acquirements. Endowed with a mind both receptive and tententive, and possessed of studious temperments she readily acquired a familiarity with history and literature, which showed that she had drunk deep of the springs of knowledge. Without exageration it may be truthfully asid that consultation with her upon the subjects in general was line turning the pages of the encyclopedia so vast and varied was her learning. It must not because of her great years be inferred that questions of the day were not of interest to her conversant with the records and .........

Shirley: Your Lodowick/Ludwig/Lewis Sits/Sitz intrigues me because Washington County, Md., is on the likely migration route for my Lewis Seitz Sr. from York County, Penn., to Rockingham County, Va. However, I have no information to indicate my Lewis ever lived in Washington County, Md. Furthermore, the names of the wife and two daughters of your Lodowick/Ludwig/Lewis do not match my Lewis. Lewis Seitz was born as Ludwig Welck Jan 5, 1763, at Dammhof near Adelshofen, Baden, Germany. He came to Pennsylvania with his adoptive parents, Johannes Seitz and Catherine Rueb/Ripp, arriving on the Richmond in October 1764. Lewis probably married Anna Beery in York County, Penn., before moving to Rockingham County, Va., in 1788 or '89. He and family moved to Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1801 or 1802. This move was done with the congregation of the White House Church due to their opposition to slavery. He became a prominent Baptist preacher in Ohio, being the first preacher for the Pleasant Run Baptist Church, which was formed by that congregation. Lewis and Anna had 14 or 15 children, but none named Magdalena or Ester. Lewis died May 13, 1823, in Washington County, Penn., while returning to his Fairfield County, Ohio, home from Pennsylvania and/or Virginia. Posted by: Karl Seitz Date: October 17, 1998 at 06:13:11 In Reply to: Re: Seitz genealogy by Elizabeth Phillips of 625 My ggg-grandfather, Lewis Seitz Sr., (1763-c1822) was a Primitive Baptist pastor. He moved from Pennsylvania to Rockingham (possibily present-day Page) County, Va. in the late 1780s and then to Fairfield County, Ohio in the early 1800s. The latter move was with what became the congregation of the Pleasant Run Baptist Church of which he was the first pastor. He did not marry a Spitler. Nor did he come from Mennonite stock. His wife was Anna Beery (the granddaughter of a Mennonite immigrant). However, four of his children married Spitlers. John m. Magdelena Spitler; Catherine m. Jacob Spitler; Mary m. Henry Spitler and Peter m. Rebecca Spitler. These marriages all took place in Ohio.
