8	Samual worked at various trades, including thatof miller, teamster, hotel-keeper and farmer. As a miller he operated Srohm's mill in Martic Township (Providence), later going to Hummelsown to pursue his trade of mililing. A couple of years later, he sold out and returned to Strasburg Township, where he purchased from Christian Martin the farm which is still owned by his great grandson, Enos Eshleman, in 1943. When he started to farm his equipment consisted of two oxen and a cart. He later drove teams which consisted of six or eight head and a Conestoga Wagon, hauling freight between Philadelphia and the Western Frontier. A distill house (Bar) known as the "Ranting Cat" (still standing in 1943 but not by 1986) which was operated by he and his daughter, Ann. This hotel was located one-half mile north of Hessdale on the road between Hessdale and Walnut Run School. His later life was spent on his far, where he died July 3, 1843. Many stories have been told about Samuel Eshleman, which have been backed up by old men who swore that they were true. The first one deals with Samuel as a young miller who said he would refuse permission for undesirable persons to enter his mill. A New Englander took up the challenge and Samuel stepped out of the door of his mill, put his back under the New Englander's horse sanding near, took hold of the front and back feet of the horse and threw it over the fence into the mill race. This ended the challenge. On another occasion he was hauling a load of green rails. As he was passing where Clearfield Church now stands, the rear wheel of his wagon dropped into a hole in the road, stopping the team. Samuel put his back under the load, lifted the wheel, spoke to his team, and the wagon moved on. At another time he was hauling a load of whiskey. The weather was warm and the team became tired and sweated and, as Samuel approached a tavern he stopped to rest his team as well as to refresh himself. While he was in the tavern, three men decided to play a prank on him by unloading the hogshead of whiskey. Upon coming out, Samuel picked up the hogshead, shot it into the air and rolled it back into its place on the Conestoga Wagon, much to the surprise of the pranksters. A great lover of horses, he would not abuse them, as is provided by the following story: One ofhis two horses broke a singletree as he was hauling wood up a hill. Samuel took hold of the broken singletree and uplled beside the other horse until they reached the top. It has been told that one very cold evening when Samuel and his boy helper reached a frontier town, Samuel told his helper to go into the tavern and warm up while he put his team away for the night. When Samuel entered the tavern he found a group of frontiersmen encircling the the fire and saying that they had arrived first and proposed to say there. Samuel picked up a chair and brought it down over the bar. Splinters flew over the room and he declared that he would make more kindling wood in order that all might be warm. It is said that the circle opened up to admit the almost frozen boy next to the fire, and a friendly evening was enjoyed by all. His daughter, Ann, never married and she tended bar for her father at the "Ranting Cat." It is said here good order was well known and that she could and would put any man out of doors who became boisterous. She was also able to stand on a peck measure and pick up four bushels of wheat, holding two in each hand. As long as she was able, she worked among her nephews with whom she lived in later life, and even today is remembered by them fondly as Old Aunty Eshleman. She died in 1902 at 92 years of age. Such was the active life of Samuel Eshleman, who prospered and was respected; as were his two children, Ann and Jacob. They all rest side by side in Longenecker's Reformed Mennonite Cemetary just east of the large pine tree which stands there.	Eshleman Samuel

11	Veryl R. Eshleman worked at different places. The ones I specifically remember are Armstrong, Atlantic States Gas Co. and High Welding which later became High Steel. During the second world war he worked at the Marietta Army Depot running a 200 ton crane. It was the largest such crane not located in a dock or ship building area. The Marietta Depot was a military supply site and he loaded military supplies onto trains for shipment overseas. As a civilian defense worker he had an exemption on automobile gas rationing which allowed us to travel while most people had little or no gas. After the war he went to work for Armstrongs and then the Atlantic States Gas Co. There he delivered propane to homes. Finally he went to work as a crane operator for Sanford High, owner of High Welding. They were located at the cornero f James and Water Streets in Lancaster, PA. He retired from there, medically, about 1962. Although he was a smoker, which may have contributed to his Emphyasema, I think it was probably more closely associated with the fact he operated a crand - thus surrounded with exhaust fumes all day every working day.
