Digging up a piece of history By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — A time capsule commemorating the 175th anniversary of Meigs County (1994) which was buried on the courthouse grounds on June 10, 1995, was unveiled on Saturday as part of the Meigs County Bicentennial Celebration. The time capsule, made of stainless steal, was originally buried by Roy Holter and Leland Parker. On Saturday, members of both the Parker and Holter families took part in the unveiling, with Parker’s grandson Nathan Cook and Holter’s grandson Zach Davis, along with Holter’s great grandson Porter Webb, recreating the photo taken at the original time capsule burial. Holter and Parker have both passed away since the original time capsule was buried. Items inside the time capsule are to be on display later this year, possibly in its entirety at the Meigs County Fair. Items are also likely to be displayed at the Meigs Museum and the Chester Courthouse.

Peter Niswonger: Indian fighter, hunter, squatter By Jordan Pickens JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. Special to the Sentinel Last Friday, the Chester-Shade Historical Association held their annual benefit dinner with different speakers giving presentations on all 12 of Meigs County’s townships, which I had the privilege of speaking on Lebanon and Scipio Townships. The talks each speaker gave were brief, but a lot of local history was shared. For this week’s article, I’d like to focus a little more in depth on a man who settled in Lebanon Township near Portland — Pete Niswonger. You may remember his name from the Pioneer Hunting Stories of John Warth from early March. Peter Niswonger and his brothers Jacob and John were all born in Fredrick County, Virginia, near Fredericksburg and were of German heritage. The Niswonger brothers came over the mountains to Wheeling during the Revolutionary War 1773. While in Wheeling, the brothers made a name for themselves as Indian fighters and hunters. The brothers were Rangers in the Virginia militia under Capt. Peter Helphenstine. Jacob died in 1775. John was killed by Indians in 1783 on a hunting expedition down the Ohio River, near Little Grave Creek. His partner, Joseph Heffler, escaped as their canoe floated off down river. John was found some months later near Captiva Island, still in his canoe. In 1788, Peter left Wheeling, coming down the Ohio and settling in Marietta as part of the second wave of settlers to arrive at the first settlement of the Northwest Territory. If you look into the early history of See PETER | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, May 2, 2019 DEATH NOTICES TETER POINT PLEASANT — Jane Ann Teter, 74, of Point Pleasant, died April 30, 2019.

(not a fact) He also told some interesting things about Davey Crockett and had a book (autobiography) about Daniel Boone an American Pioneer, Indian Fighter, bear hunter, trail blazer and frontiersman in Kentucky and Missouri.

Warth went on to marry a member of the Fleehart family and settled in what is now Jackson County, West Virginia where he had several slaves and was the owner of large land holdings. Once the Indian wars concluded in Marietta, Niswonger grew tired of the lack of hostility and yearning for a more adventurous life, put his family on a flatboat and started down the Ohio River. He landed at what is now Portland. It was in what is known as the “Old Town Bottoms” that Niswonger built a cabin just below Buffington Island. He is considered the first person to settle in Lebanon Township. It was also here that Niswonger over 200 peach trees, built a distillery, and began making peach brandy. The Kerr and Warth families then settled nearby, as did Col. John Niswonger. It is noted in Larkin’s Pioneer History of Meigs County that “Mr. Niswonger had a still-house for making whisky and peach brandy, built by a spring of excellent water, on Lot 182, Ohio Company’s purchase, afterward owned by Nehemiah Bicknell. The spring was always called the “still-house spring.” His name, in connection with that of Elias Nesselrode, is used in an account of an elk discovered crossing the Ohio River below Sandy Creek, by Andrew Anderson, who, being on the Ohio side of the river, saw Niswonger and Nesselrode pushing a canoe laden with salt upstream to whom he called “to head off the elk,” which had reached their side so near that they threw a log chain at his horns, which so enraged him that he capsized their canoe with the men and the salt and escaped to the woods of Virginia.” Soon after, other settlers began to settle in Lebanon Township in 1793. After several years of residence in what would become Meigs County, Peter Niswonger found life to be too crowded. So, fed up with the rapid influx of civilization, he built a flatboat, loaded up his family, a few meager possessions, and assumingly a decent amount of his peach brandy and headed down the Ohio once again. This time he found himself in Southern Illinois there near Shawneetown. It was here that Peter lived out the remainder of his life, living until the ripe old age of 79.

I never really followed through, and since I recently stumbled across the item she asked me about, I figured it was time to complete her request. Besides, there might be someone out there who would really like to reconnect with a piece of long-lost jewelry. Sometime around the late 1970s my late grandparents, Delbert and Jeff Emma Mae Gilliland, who happened Gilliland to live to be 97 and 99, respectively, Contributing moved into a small new modular columnist home on Johnson Street in Hillsboro. It was the first home they ever owned. Some years later they had some work done on the roof of the home. Some of the details are fuzzy from there, but sometime after that they found a class ring on the roof. My grandmother’s assumption, since they did not know of anyone being on the roof since the repairs had been made, was that someone who did the work on the roof lost the ring. How much time passed between then and the day my grandmother approached me I am not sure. But since the ring’s original owner obviously lived in Washington C.H., and my grandmother knew that I worked for a newspaper in Hillsboro — which happens to have a sister paper in Washington C.H. — she gave me the ring and asked if I would help her return it to its rightful owner. I said I would, especially since she never asked much of me except that I consider attending church services. She was a wise woman; wise enough not to ask me to make a promise I might not keep, only that I consider it. I gathered all the information I could about the how the ring had been found, took the ring to work, and a couple days later called the woman who was then the editor of the Record Herald in Washington C.H. I had previously worked with her at the former Greenfield Daily Times, and figured the story of the ring would make a good human interest piece. And it would have. It also might have made someone’s day. But for some reason that baffles me to this day, she said that it sounded more like a paid advertisement than a story, and that she was not interested. (For the record, I am certain current Record Herald Editor Ryan Carter would have a different response). Unhappy, I tossed the ring in an old tin bulk film canister, threw the canister in a desk drawer, and figured I would do something with it another time. That was many years ago. The other day, as I have a few times over the years, I was fumbling through the old canister when I noticed the ring again. And I figured it was long overdue for another time to arrive. So… It is a silver, maybe white gold, woman’s ring with a blue stone. Around the stone are the words Washington Senior High. One side of the ring says Class of ‘83 and has a small coat of arms below that. The other side says Lori and has a lion head beneath that. Engraved inside the ring are the initials L.J.S. If my grandparents told someone they would do something, you could have bet your life it would be done. They were as honest and trustworthy as people come. So, in their honor, it would be my honor to return the ring to its rightful honor, or at least her family. Give me a call if you know anything about it. The only thing I would ask is that you talk with me about the ring. Because it would be a good story, and not a paid ad. Jeff Gilliland is the editor of The Times-Gazette.

THEIR VIEW Visiting the dentist Yesterday, I had a capped tooth break off, so now I have to make an appointment to see my dentist and have him look at it to see what needs to be done. Dental appointments have always seemed to be something no one wants to make. I know I used to be like that, because so many of the people I knew had complained about the pain they had, or were scared of the pain they were sure they would have. As a kid, my dental appointments all came after major damage had been done, and I would need extensive work by the dentist. I remember my dad telling the dentist to “go ahead and pull the tooth out, because it will have to come out, sooner or later, anyway.” So, by the young age of about 12, I had had several teeth extracted. But when the day came and I was out of high school and working, and had my own paycheck, I started going to a dentist for check-ups. My dental appointments were my responsibility, and they slowed down the loss of any more of my teeth that may have needed work done on them. I remember when I was in school, a lot of my friends had to have braces. I felt a little left out, because I didn’t get to have them, too. (I didn’t need them because my teeth were straight.) How lucky for me, and at the same time, how stu- Singer Engelbert Humperdinck is 83. Former International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge is 77. Actress-activist Bianca Jagger is 74.

Paying dental bills is usually a big problem for someone who has no dental insurance. And in some situations, people who have insurance find that they are still having to pay a large part of the bill, since some dental insurances don’t seem to pay very much. Once I figured out that since I didn’t have dental insurance during my earlier years, I have spent in excess of $7,000 of my own money on dental bills. How much in excess, I don’t even want to know. Ironically, not too long ago, when George and I were having lunch with a friend and were talking about our teeth, the friend said to me that I should just have all my teeth pulled out and get it over with. I don’t want to do that. Not after all the money I have already spent for my past care. So, I’m ready for the news, good or bad. Knowing that after the consultation, I will probably have to wait a period of time before it can be taken care of, means I won’t get to have it done until after this article is sent to the newspaper. So, I will hold the thought that whatever the diagnosis turns out to be, it will be a good one. Wish me luck! Kay E. Conklin is a retired Delaware County recorder who served four terms.

An autopsy summary by the Clear Creek County coroner estimated that 18-year-old Sol Pais likely died on April 15 — the day authorities said she flew to Denver from Miami. The FBI’s Denver office said it learned of Pais’ travel the following morning. Agents also learned the day after she died that that Pais had gone directly to a gun store from the airport and purchased a shotgun and ammunition.

Riley Howell, 21, was among the students gathered for end-of-year presentations in an anthropology class at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte when a gunman with a pistol began shooting students. Howell and another student were killed; four others were wounded. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said Howell “took the assailant off his feet,” but was fatally wounded while doing so. He said Howell did what police train people to do in active shooter situations. “You’re either going to run, you’re going to hide and shield, or you’re going to take the fight Matthew Westmoreland via AP Authorities say Riley Howell, 21, right, was killed after he tackled a gunman who opened fire in a classroom at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

Having no place to run and hide, he did the last. But for his work, the assailant may not have been disarmed,” Putney said. “Unfortunately, he gave his life in the process. But his sacrifice saved lives.” The father of Howell’s longtime girlfriend said news that he tackled the shooter wasn’t surprising. Kevin Westmoreland, whose daughter Lauren dated Howell for nearly six years, said Howell was athletic and compassionate — and would have been a good firefighter or paramedic. “If Lauren was with Riley, he would step in front of a train for her if he had to,” Westmoreland said. “I didn’t realize it might come to that for somebody else.” The motive wasn’t immediately clear. Suspect Trystan Andrew Terrell had been enrolled at the school but withdrew during the current semester, UNC-Charlotte spokeswoman Buffy Stephens said. Campus Police Chief Jeff Baker said Terrell had not appeared on their radar as a potential threat. “I just went into a classroom and shot the guys,” Terrell told reporters Tuesday as officers led him in handcuffs into a law enforcement building. Terrell, 22, was charged with two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder and other charges.

The Meigs baseball team — which dropped a 2-0 decision to Vinton County on April 12 in Rocksprings — defeated those same Vikings in TriValley Conference Ohio Division play on Tuesday, winning by a 9-5 count in eight innings at VCHS.

The Eastern softball team — which defeated Miller by a 12-1 count on April 24 in Meigs County — made that bout feel like a closelycontested on Tuesday in Perry County, as the Lady Eagles rolled past the Lady Falcons by a 25-2 count in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division action. Eastern (11-6, 11-4 TVC Hocking) took the lead before the first out of the game was recorded, as Cera Grueser doubled home Megan Maxon. The Lady Eagles scored four more runs in the first inning, and were ahead 8-0 after a three-run second frame. The guests sent 11 batters to the plate in the third inning, doubling their lead on the strength of seven hits. Eastern was ahead 25-0 after five hits, three walks, an error and a hit batter in the top of the fourth. Miller ended the shut out with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, but fell by a 25-2 count. Tessa Rockhold was the winning pitcher of record in three innings for EHS, striking out three and walking three without giving up a hit or a run. Grueser finished the game for the guests, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks, while striking out one. Agriesti and Joseph shared pitching duties for the Lady Falcons, surrendering 25 runs, 20 earned, on 23 hits and four walks. Leading Eastern at the plate, Grueser was 3-for-3 with a double, three runs scored and three runs batted in, Tessa Rockhold was 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs, Kennadi Rockhold was 3-for-4 with three runs and one RBI, and Ally Barber was 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs.

Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Softball COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — With Columbus holding on to a two-goal lead late in the second period, Boston’s Brad Marchand snapped a shot from the top of the left circle. The puck rebounded and trickled dangerously in the blue paint before Sergei Bobrovsky stretched out and swept it away with his glove. Another big save for Bobrovsky , who has made a bunch of them in what has been an outstanding postseason so far. He finished with 36 stops in the 2-1 win over Boston on Tuesday night that gave the Blue Jackets a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Boone Jenner and Matt Duchene scored for the Blue Jackets, who won a second-round home game for first time in franchise history. Game 4 is Thursday night. Tuukka Rask had 32 saves for Boston. The Bruins’ only goal was a flukey one in the last minute of the second period, the only chink in an otherwise brilliant game by Bobrovsky. The Russian stopper withstood a flurry by Boston earlier in the second period, including the acrobatic save of the kind that has become almost routine for him in these playoffs. The Bruins pulled Rask with 2:11 left but couldn’t beat Bobrovsky with the 6-on5 advantage. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — James Harden’s eyes were still red and stinging well after the final buzzer. He could barely see on the court let alone read the box score after the game. There were some big hits but the game was less testy than the previous two meetings between the two teams in the postseason. The Blue Jackets struck late in the first period when Jenner, skating left to right across the slot, slid the puck past Rask on the glove side before the goalie could adjust. The tally with 1:23 left was Jenner’s first of the postseason. With Zdeno Chara in the penalty box for highsticking Jenner in the face, the Blue Jackets swarmed for an extended time in front of the Boston net before Duchene tapped in another goal with 7:18 left in the second. Boston made it a one-goal game with 40 seconds left in the middle period when in a knot of players in front the Columbus net, the puck trickled behind Bobrovsky and over the line. The goal initially was waved off by an official, but a video review determined that play hadn’t stopped before the puck slid in. Jake DeBrusk got credit for the goal . That would be it for the Bruins. Their best opportunity to tie the score came with just under 9 minutes left when David Savard went to the penalty box for tripping, but 16 seconds later Patrice Bergeron was whistled for the same infraction, creating a 4-on-4 and then a brief Columbus advantage. The reigning MVP hopes he will feel better with a few days off before the Rockets’ Western Conference semifinal series against Golden State resumes Saturday in Houston with his team trailing 2-0 following a 115-109 loss Tuesday night in Game 2. Harden scored 29 points on 9-for-19 shooting to go with seven rebounds, four assists and six turnovers. Eye drops he received only helped so much to relieve the discomfort. He injured his eyes with 6:39 left in the first quarter, grabbing at his face after he and Green fought for a loose rebound and Green’s left hand got Harden in the face.

The Gallia Academy baseball team plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth and ended up celebrating Senior Night in style Monday with a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over visiting Coal Grove in an Ohio Valley Conference contest at Bob Eastman Field in Gallia County. The host Blue Devils (13-6, 8-4 OVC) built a 2-1 cushion through two complete, but the Hornets answered with two runs in the top of the fifth en route to a 3-2 edge. Trenton Johnson was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the sixth, then stole second and advanced to third on a one-out infield single by Cole Davis. The errant throw to first also got past the first baseman, allowing Johnson to come home for a three-all contest. With Davis now at third, Josh Faro delivered a single that allowed Davis to score for a 4-3 advantage. Morgan Stanley also brought Faro in with a two-out single for a 5-3 cushion through six complete. The Red and Black had runners at first and second with nobody out The price tag on the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics is now $6.88 billion, a $1.36 billion increase that comes mainly because of accounting measures designed to better reflect inflation over the long lead-up to those games. Most key numbers the organizing committee released Tuesday are essentially the same as those in the original bid documents, only adjusted from 2016 dollars to reflect the real value of the dollars at the time they’ll be received or spent — mainly in the later part of the 2020s. That includes the cost of venue infrastructure (increase from $1.19 billion to $1.46 billion) and the contingency fund being guaranteed by the city and state ($487 million to $615 million). If LA runs the games without any cost overruns, it will become the first host since at least 1984 — also a year that LA hosted — to do so. Next year’s Olympics in Tokyo originally were budgeted at $7.3 billion but are now expected to run $12.6 billion.

GAHS also claimed a season sweep of the Hornets after posting a 12-0 decision in Lawrence County back on April 18. Four consecutive walks led to a quick 1-0 lead for the Hornets a half-inning into play, but the Blue Devils rallied with a run in their half of the first as Garrett McGuire singled home Wyatt Sipple for a one-all contest. The hosts secured their first lead of the game in the second as Faro received a bases-loaded walk with two away for a 2-1 edge.

But in a groundbreaking move, the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2024 Games to Paris and the 2028 Games to Los Angeles at the same time. Part of that agreement was that LA would reveal a revised budget, for 2028 instead of 2024, in the first quarter of this year. The revised budget does contain a 3 percent increase, $160 million of which is targeted toward youth sports throughout the city, and the rest earmarked to keep the organizing committee running during a lifespan that will run four years longer than initially anticipated. The city of Los Angeles and state of California originally were projected to guarantee $250 million each for the contingency fund — with LA on the hook for the first $250 million, then the state for the rest.
