Millwood and Waldo

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe Descendants of Israel Houseworth, for the most part, have remained in small mid western towns and villages, and it's been that way since Israel and Catherine pulled up stakes and began their movements westward.

After Bucks County(Israel's birthplace), they headed for Bedford County, PA, then Wayne County, Ohio, on to Millwood(which Israel is reported to have started), Ohio, Delaware County, then Waldo, Ohio, where Israel made is final stand.

After that, the children of the Solomon and Frederick Houseworth clans moved on to Kenton, Prospect, Roundhead, Lima, and other small towns north and west of Waldo, as well as the town of Scott and Blue Creek Township in Paulding County. where my Great Grandparents, Nelson and Mary Ann saw their lives reach the finish line.

I was going to head over to Millwood(it's been about 5 years) to take some fall foliage photos and see if the little berg has changed, but a tossed back has put that on hold until sometime next week.....the colors(with the late fall) should be at or near their peak next week, so hopefully will take a day and head 150 miles east...then will stop at G&Rs in Waldo on the way back for a famous Bologna Sandwich and beer......the town's claim to fame.....hopefully will be able to post some new photos on this blog, before getting back into the family and more documents.

{photos from the fall of 2000...Millwood, Owl Creek, where John Haun and Israel built the first Grist Mill, and G&R Tavern in Waldo, home of the world famous(not kidding, they have been on A & E and other channels) Bologna Sandwiches.....don't think store bought packaged meats}
