| 19062 | Niagara Gazette - Abt 7/1957 By CLARENCE O. LEWIS Niagara County Historian IN 1810.JOHN WITMER and his family consisting of his wife and eight children left Lancaster, Pa., in a Conestoga wagon with a four horse team. AM their worldly possessions were in that wagon. They were bound for the Niagara Frontier. The trip was made in late August and early September and required 18 days. The route was circuitious until they reached Batavia from whence they followed the Buffalo road to Black Rock and thence down the river to Devil's Hole where they took a road which had been chopped out by Isaac Swain. This led to his clearing where the Military road crosses Gill Creek, close to the northern boundary of the Town of Niagara. Mr. Swain had. partially cleared the timber from about 40 acres and erected a good-size log house. John Witmcr had purchased this 100 acre farm of Mr. Swain who then moved to the Town of Porter and settled south of Youngstown. At this period (1810) there was only one other clearing on the Military road in the present town of Niagara. A short time before John Witmer brought his family from Pensylvania, he had ridden through on horseback and purchased his land. When he left his old home he had cut a slender branch from a Locust Tree to use as a switch. When he reached his new home he planted the switch in the rich soil in front of the log cabin. The switch, so the family tell me, took root and today one may see as I did, on the east side of the military road some 25 odd feet north of the Gill Creek crossing, a large gnarly old locust tree that has every earmark of being old enough to verify the family legend. * * WHEN THE TOWN of Niagara was organized in April 1812. John Witmer was elected one of the "pathmasters." In 1817 he built a small sawmill on Gill Creek near his home and in 1818 began to saw and sell lumber. "A great many of the first frame houses in that part of Niagara and adjacent towns were built of lumber from his sawmill. Last week I called on Mrs. Theresa Morrison and Miss Serena Witmer of 1024 Grove Ave., who are great granddaughters of John Witmer. They were most hospitable and very willing to help me complete this story. One incident they told me was about Benjamin Witmer son of John, and their great uncle who as a boy of 17 during the War of 1812, ventured down to the bank of the Niagara opposite one of the teaters of battle on the Canadian, side and as he peered through the bushes a four-pound cannon ball came whizzing across the river and took hit hat off his head. When be had recovered from the shock he found the cannon ball imbedded in the earth and took it home and it is still kept by these ladies as a memento of those troublous times of long ago. Abram Witmer, a brother of John, came to the Frontier in 1811 from the same place in Pennsylvania. His wife and four children came with him. Their trip was similar to John's. They settled on a tract of land purchased from the Holland Land Co. It was on the Saunder's Settlement road just east of Sugar Street, and on the west abutted on the Mile Reserve. He built, a log house and began to clear his land. At the first town meeting in 1812 he was also elected a pathmaster. When the War broke out he took his family back to Pennsylvania. The Witmer brothers were Mennonites and had religious scruple against war. « » * OUT OF AN estimated total of 337 homes along the Frontier, the English and Indians looted and burned all but a few that were somewhat isolated! Fortunately Abram Witmer's was one of these, so that when they returned everything was just as they had left it. When the weather was too bad to go to Porter's Grist, Mill at the Falls they used a hollowed out stump and a spring pole with a stone tied to it for a pestle to grind their grain. In the spring of 1836 Benjamin Rathbun came to Niagara Falls to invest in real estate and erect buildings. He heard that Abram Witmer Jr., had a brick kiln where he was making brick for his house. Mr. Rathbun entered into a contract with father and son to make 300,000 brick for him which he would pay for on delivery. They had made and delivered about two-thirds of the contract when Rathbun's business empire founded more or less on credit, failed partly, on account of the financial panic of that year and partly because of unscrupulous deals. The Witmers lost heavily but made the best of a bad deal, selling the bricks left on their hands wherever they could find a market. Abram Sr., was a carpenter and cabinet maker as well as a farmer. Among documents found in the old Court House attic were two legal papers dated 1853 containing the signatures of Abram Witmer and Tobias, another son. Abram, Sr., died Sept. 4, 1851. Christian H. Witmer, the oldest of Abram's seven sons operated Judge Porter's Grist mill near the present River end of First street He also had a mill of his own somewhat later, on the high bank of the River near the Whirlpool Bridge. On Sept. 17, 1859 while working on the raceway he fell into the water and was carried down into the River and to his death in the Whirlpool. ,* * TOBIAS WITM'ER was born in 1816 at Bellvue, (Suspension Bridge). He was one of the first surveyors of that region, his maps being still the main reliance for lot lines, etc. He was quite a genius, being an inventor, author, poet and a preacher besides a Civil Engineer. One of his inventions was the bicycle wheel. He made the spokes of the wires from an old hoop skirt. He also invented a corn sheller, an automatic rairoad switch,- pile driver, portable signal tower for use in the Army, fire escape, etc. He taught school for a time In 1861 although he had a family of 12 children he enlisted in a Civil War Regiment He died in 1897 in Williamsville, Erie Co., leaving a record of accomplishments that seldom is equalled. Elias Witmer, twin brother of Tobias, finished his schooling at the Lewiston Academy after which he learned the tailor's trade. Later he taught school, but finding his health impaired he stuck to farm- ing the rest of his long life. Practically all the advancement of the Niagara Frontier, from its wild state to the highly developed status of 1918, was. encompassed in his life. In his youth oxteams were a common sight along Portage road. He was in Buffalo on Oct 26, 1825, to see the official opening of the Erie Canal and saw DeWitt Clintonon the "Seneca Chief and heard the cannon "telegraph that carried the notice of the starting of the Seneca Chief on its voyage to the Atlantic Ocean. # ELIAS WITMER was greatly interested in the Niagara County Pioneer's Assoc, organized in 1877 and was one time vice president He was a regular attendant at the Olcott Pioneer's Picnics. In 1914 when he was 98 years old he planned to attend the picnic, writing, a card to the Secty., George S. Gooding in advance signifying his intentions. He died Feb. 23, 1918, aged 102 years, in the homestead built by his father in 1821. On the 1852 map of Niagara County there are shown nine families of Witmer's living at different points in the Town of Niagara. The two first Witmers, John and Abram, reared 17 children, most of whom survived and married. A few moved out of Niagara County, but the majority of them lived and operated various types of business in this County. The Witmer road connecting Hyde Park Blvd. with the Military road perpetuates the family name. There are today in Niagara Falls six families descended from the two pioneer brothers, .John and Abram. They are Orlando B. Witmer, 2215 Pierce Ave.; M. T. Witmer, 1301 Ferry Ave; Miss Emma A. Witmer, 1600 Cleveland Ave.; Christian H. Witmer. 1174 Haeberle Ave.; and my collaborators, Miss Serena T. Witmer and Mrs. Theresa Morrison, 1024 Grove Ave. Also a great great grandson, Robert C. Witmer, 2913 Michigan Ave. | WITMER, Johannes Christian (I10204)
