MRS. FLORENCE HITCH SUMMONED TO REST

Succumbs Following an Operation Two Weeks Previously. _____

Funeral services for Mrs. Florence Hitch, who died at a Grand Island hospital Friday morning, May 24, were held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon and were attended by a large number of her friends and relatives. Rev. A. L. Kellogg was in charge and interment was made in Cedar View Cemetery. A large number of floral tributes testified to the number of friends who mourn her going.

Her death came unexpectedly Friday morning. She had undergone an operation two weeks previously and although her recovery had been slow, she was believed to be on the way to recovery until a short time before her death.

Mrs. Hitch is entitled to be remembered as one of the outstandingly heroic mothers of the community. Her husband, Frank Hitch, died in 1919, and by willing and conscientious labor, she managed to keep her family together. Only one son, Bobby, remains at home.

Florence Brintlinger was born July 30, 1874, at the family home near Ashville, Ohio, and died May 24, 1929, at the St. Francis Hospital, Grand Island, Nebr., aged 54 years, 9 months, and 24 days.

Williams, Mrs. Martha M. Flyr, Mrs. Nada Belle Chapin, George W., and Harold T., all of Kansas City, Mo., Francis M., of Juniata, and Robert W., at home.

H. Duvall and Mrs. J. B. Brinker, of Ashville, Ohio, a stepson, Harley H. Hitch, of Doniphan, and a host of friends in the Doniphan and Juniata communities where she has made her home for the past twenty-three years. Her parents, one sister, Mrs. M. E. Brinker, all of Ashville, Ohio, and a grandson, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Hitch of Juniata, preceeded her in death.

Thus was Allen Spain Hitch left by virtue of being the eldest of the family, advisor of this large brood. Seven of them were boys. It was he, also, who later entered a protest to the Indiana State Prison Board of Pardons against the release of his father's slayer, Walter Bocail # 5541.

The protest was duly and satisfactory acted upon by the State Board. His father had gone to the rescue of Brovail's wife, who was in danger of her life when he was shot. At the time one of her children was seriously ill. This sad event happened on Sunday which happened to be Mother's Day. Harrison Clement Hitch, the slain man, was held in very high esteem. During the funeral every person's home in the city was closed as were the stores, banks, and the Court House.

Allen Spain Hitch had a common school education in Gibson Co., IN at Patoka, Princeton, and country school. As a young man he started work in a grocery store at the age of 13. He worked for E.P.Downey at Princeton, IN for four and one half years. He then worked for the Princeton Mercantile Co. and John B. Woods, a short time each place.

He then operated a wholesale and retail news stand at Princeton, IN about two years. Then went into partnership with his brothers, Morton and Horace, and established the firm known as Hitch Brothers Wholesale and Retail Meat Dealers.

He stayed with this firm about a year and then entered the employ of B.T.Baven Co., publishers, Indianapolis, IN. He traveled in Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Kansas for two years for this firm. Then entered the employ of Standard Oil Co. (IN) at Milwaukee, WI in January 1917 as salesman. He has worked in many capacities and places with this company. At present (1931) is superintendent of south eastern district Wisconsin.

He has a summer home at Lauderdale Lakes, WI. He is a charter member and past master of the Masonic Lodge.

A little later with his brothers, Allen and Horace, he entered into a partnership as HITCH BROTHERS who conducted a wholesale and retail meat business. Morton is still connected with this business as senior member with Theodore and Austin Hitch, his brothers, as partners. Horace and Allen long since left Princeton, IN.

Morton is known as one of the best cattle and hog buyers in southern Indiana. Aside from his brothers, Morton has taken a keen interest in musical work. He has a splendid baritone voice and is a member of the Hoosier Male Quartet, a well known musical organization in southern Indiana. For some time he was director of the choir of the First Christian Church, Princeton, IN, but this work proved too much to carry with his other duties and he gave it up.

He is a splendid reader and has a large repertoire, composed largely of the works of James Whitcomb Riley. He is a popular radio entertainer and has often broadcast over St. Louis, Louisville, and Evansville radio stations. His brother Allen writes, "I think one of my greatest thrills was when he recited from Louisville for me, "Out to Old Aunt Mary's", I being in Wisconsin at the time."

He is short and well built, a Republican and a member of the Christian Church. He is a Mason, Chapter, Commandery and Shriner. (By a member of the family.)"

When Harrison returned from the war, he announced that he was going to get married.

He is now (1931) a member of the firm of HITCH BROTHERS, Princeton, IN."

General Notes: The following is from a family history sent to me by Stephen J. Hitch of Kent, WA in 1997: "Harvey Carol Hitch married Marie Martha Zaat in Everett, WA July 13, 1935. Marie was born Dec. 25, 1915 in Sunnydale, WA. They met at Everett High School when they were both students. After Harve graduated he and Marie sent notes back and forth through Harve's sister, Joyce. Harve worked at Robinson's Lumber Mill in Everett while attending high school and he also served in the Washington National Guard.

After graduating from high school he enlisted in the Army and made it his career. Harve was the only Hitch sibling with musical talent. He somehow managed to get a used mandolin and taught himself how to play. He later replaced his first instrument with a newer model. At family gatherings we often had sing alongs. Uncle John played the guitar, Bus the violin, Harve the mandolin and Wayne (Bus' brother) played the harmonica and the bones. Their music made the gatherings more festive. Their first home was on Peck's Drive in South Everett but Harve's army career moved them across the country. When Harve was on overseas duty his family would be waiting in the Everett or Seattle area. They sold their Everett home and bought a larger home on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. Several family gatherings were held in that home and also their next home in the Greenwood area in North Seattle. This was their last family home.

In 1948, Harve had a cancer operation on his stomach and bladder. In the fall of 1957 the cancer flared up again affecting his liver. He died August 1, 1958 and is buried at Fort Lawton in North Seattle.

Marie was a Homemaker, but after Harve passed away she worked in the Ballard High School Cafeteria. Marie died December 3, 1990 and is buried at Fort Lawton in North Seattle."

General Notes: The following article is from "The Allen Historian" of August 2000

Recollections of the Hitch Family of Allen, by H. Atwood Hitch (written January 15, 1972)

Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch (b. 7-28-1873; d. 4-15-1946) and Edith Ellen Bounds (b. 7-12-1875; d. 3-7-1945) Married on December 18, 1895.

I, Henry Atwood Hitch, was born November 19, 1896, about one mile from Allen, MD at the home of my Grandfather and Grandmother, Robert John (Jack) Hitch (b. 11-17-1833; d. 4-28-1901) and his wife, the former Sarah Amanda Phoebus (b. 10-24-1836; d. 12-25-1904).

Allen, Maryland was originally known as Upper Trappe. The name Allen came from the name of the first postmaster, Joseph Allen. His wife was the former Mary Phoebus, sister of Amanda Phoebus.

When I was a few months old, my parents went to live on the north side of the Wicomico River, a distance of about two miles from Salisbury, Maryland. My father was a tenant farmer on a farm known as "Bell" Farm. The farm was located on what was called River Road, west of Salisbury, Maryland. We lived in a tenant house, which was practically on an island along the north side of the river.

When I was two years old, my parents went back to Allen and purchased a General Store, which they operated for about two years.

When I was about four years old, my father rented a farm and sold the general store. My sister Hannah was born October 27, 1898, while my parents were living here. The farm was located in Somerset County about one mile from Loretto Railroad Station and about one mile from a crossroads place located at the head of one branch of Wicomico Creek, known as "Head of the Creek". The distance from the farm north to the village of Allen, Maryland was 3 1/4 miles and south to Princess Anne, Maryland was 3 1/2 miles. The farm was owned by Judge Lore, who lived in Wilmington, DE. The "Head of the Creek" was favored with one general store, two houses, and one single room school house. Seven grades were taught there. In September, 1901, at the age of five years and ten months, I started school at the one room school at the "Head of the Creek". During the period of November 19, 1896 to the summer of 1901, my Grandfather Hitch had purchased a small place near the Allen School. In 1901 my Grandfather Hitch died at the age of 69. Robert John (Jack) Hitch was born May 7, 1901.

About 1902, my father purchased my Grandfather's place near the Allen School from his estate. During the next two years my Father farmed this small place in addition to running the Grist Mill at Allen. This was the worst mistake he ever made in my opinion. Only fifteen acres of land and the quality of soil was such that it was impossible to be at all productive. My parents had prospered well while living on Judge Lore's farm. During these 2 years, the original house burned to the ground and a new house had to be built. There was no insurance on the house and these two years proved to be very difficult financial times. Perhaps the most trying period for my father and mother in their lifetime.

In the summer of 1904, Howard Chandler Christy, the artist, bought a farm on Wicomico Creek in Somerset County 2 1/2 miles from the "Head of the Creek". My father was employed to run this farm for Mr. Christy, so we moved from Allen to this farm. Once again, I was back in school at the one room schoolhouse at the "Head of the Creek". My brother Howard was born on this farm on September 7, 1905 and was named after Mr. Christy, Howard Christy Hitch.

This I remember as the period in which I enjoyed most in my life as a farm boy. This farm was a large acreage and located on the Creek. We had ducks, geese, turkey, chickens, hogs, cattle, as well as horses and mules. A new barn was constructed while we lived there. Many fond memories do I have of those days on this farm. We lived very well for farm folks. We had driving horses, buggies, a surrey with two seats. We went to the fair at Pocomoke, Maryland with two horses hitched to the surrey - in all, a period to remember. We lived there until December, 1907, when Mr. Christy sold the farm and we moved back to the place near Allen which my father had been leasing. My brother Paul Phoebus Hitch was born here February 2, 1908.

Again the struggle was on to make a living on 15 acres of nondescript land, renting land away from home, and my father was running a saw mill for Uncle Peter Bounds along with other employment, when time would permit. As a family, however, we were fortunate, as Mother was a woman of unusual resourcefulness, thrift and natural executive ability. My father was hardworking, thrifty, sober and of integrity beyond reproach. Here again the family was a unit, which was helpful for the success to earn a livelihood, as we knew as children at a young age the financial situation.

We went to school at Allen School, which was about 300 yards from our house. I went to school here through the eighth grade, but failed my final examination in May, 1911, which was no surprise to me, since I had lost so much time in the fall of 1910 and the spring of 1911 due to farm work. As I was the oldest of five children, it naturally fell my lot to carry on farm chores of which I may have been capable, thereby adding to the family income. My mother was determined that I should have some education. That, in her opinion, would be the most value to me to earn a living (other than farming). The result - I never went back to public school, but enrolled in Beacon Business College in Salisbury, Maryland in the fall of 1911.

The year 1911 was a fairly good year for farming. My father rented 15 acres of land for $50 cash rent. We planted the entire acreage in tomatoes and had an excellent crop. The price received was only 15 cents per 5/8 bushell, but a crop of tomatoes was so unusual we had more cash money than usual when fall came. This resulted in my starting to Business College in September, 1911. In order to get to Salisbury, my parents bought me a bicycle, as the distance from Allen to Salisbury was seven and one-half miles, which distance I covered each school day. I only missed three days due to snow. The bicycle cost $29.50 and the make was a "Kennelworth".

For some time I had been trying to convince my father that he should sell the 15 acres of nondescript land and buy a larger farm with better quality land. He found such a place in summer, 1912, which was one mile west of Allen on the road to Collins Wharf, a boat landing for the BC & ARR steamers plying the waters between Salisbury and Baltimore, Maryland. The BC & ARR stood for Baltimore Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad Company. He sold the old 15 acre place, which was originally my Grandfather's home, and purchased this new farm. The new farm did not have much of a house - two rooms up and two rooms down. But this farm had quite a quantity of pine timber, which had much to do with my father buying it.

His calculation of the timber value was equal to the value of the purchase price. His knowledge of timber value was a result of working with Uncle Peter Bounds in the saw mill business. The timber made into lumber resulted in the house being enlarged by adding two rooms down and two rooms upstairs. Not a bad country home. The timber deal worked out very well from a financial standpoint. Most of it was worked for mine timbers for use in anthracite mines in Pennsylvania. He received $3.00 per ton for the timber. We hauled them on wagons to Fruitland, Maryland, a distance of five miles, where they were loaded in coal cars for shipment. The quality of land was much improvement over the former place.

The fall of 1912 found me back at Beacon Business College, as I had not completed the necessary studies to receive a diploma. During this time I rode my bike 8 1/2 miles each morning and evening from our new home to Salisbury, Maryland, one mile of which was dirt road.

The spring of 1913 found me back on the farm, having received a diploma from Beacon Business College. I spent the summer on the farm as well as helping in the handling of the mine timber operations. The fall of 1913, with farming operations about over for the year and the mine timber operations completed as far as timber on this farm, it was a time for less push and hard work. My mother never wanted me to try to make a living on the farm, and yet at heart I was a farmer. But events do happen to change our whole future.

My mother had a brother, my Uncle Carroll Bounds, who was working on the Pennsylvania Railroad passenger steamer from Cape Charles, Virginia to Norfolk, Virginia. He wrote and said he had a job for me on the boat. Of course my mother was anxious that I take the job. But here again, a farmer at heart and being part of a close-knit family, I did not want to go. But I did. It was September, 1913 and I would be 18 years old on November 19. Somehow, I had never grown as some 18 year olds did. I weighed only 108 pounds and had never worn long trousers due to lack of size and height. My mother and I went to Salisbury and bought a suit with long trousers. As I remember they had to cut off about 12 inches from the pants. Not a perfect fit to say the least. But I could not go out in the world to assume a position as a grown up wearing short trousers. The suit cost $14.50. I left Salisbury on the train for Cape Charles, Virginia, to go out into the world to earn a livelihood. Before I reached Pocomoke, Maryland, a distance of 15 miles, I found myself sitting in that railroad coach with tears rolling down my cheeks. Again, I suppose that family unity came to the front.

In the Federal Census of 1920, H. Atwood Hitch and his brother are listed as employees on the U.S.S. Maryland in Norfolk, Norfolk County, Virginia as follows: - H. Atwood Hitch, age 23, born in MD - Robert J. Hitch, age 18, born in MD.

General Notes: The following article is from "The Allen Historian" of August 2000

Thornton Hitch's Reflections, by Casey Parsons

Editor's Note: Casey interviewed Thornton Hitch for this article on February 21, 2000.

Thornton Phoebus Hitch is the eldest son of Beverly Tubman Hitch and Laura Richardson Hitch. Another son, Richard, born in 1915, served in the U.S. Navy as an electrician aboard a submarine during World War II and was lost in 1944, when his ship, the U.S.S. Grayback was lost in the Pacific. The Navy reported that the Grayback was caught on the surface and sunk as it was returning from a long patrol in the war zone. A third son, Donald, was born in 1920 and lives in Florida.

Thornton was named for Captain Thornton Phoebus, a ship captain from Oriole, who helped transport many immigrants to America from the old country. Thornton believes that his family came from England, and the name was originally spelled "Hytch".

He lives today near the pond along Wicomico Creek in Somerset County, the same site on which his family lived when he was born in January, 1914. His wife, Lelia, died in 1981. His garage and workshop contain parts of the old kitchen used by the Hitch family before they moved to the larger house across the pond built by Mr. Peter Malone in 1920.

Thorton's earliest memories are of his father working as a mail carrier. Beverly picked up the mail from Eden when the train came in and delivered it to homes around the countryside. He also operated the old mill on the creek for many years, employing a part-time mill operator as he delivered the mail. Mr. Hitch attached an engine house to the south side of the mill to furnish auxiliary power to the mill wheel when the water was low. Thornton recalls moving the new engine in for the initial setup. Ralph Bounds, a young local mechanic, helped to slide the new engine along, inch by inch, on rollers and skids. Thornton, a small child at the time, had his fingers mashed during the installation.

Thornton recalls that the water power was used to turn a turbine which rotated the top stone as the bottom stone remained stationary. There was a groove cut in the bottom stone which funneled the corn meal or flour to a conveyor and then to a bag. In those days, at locations where there was no water power available, mules were used to turn the grinding stones. In addition to the grist mill, Thornton also remembers an up-and-down sawmill, which was used to cut sills for houses. The former Hitch house, standing today by the pond, where the family moved in 1920, has 12" X 12" hand-hewn sills, Thornton said.

Mary G. Payne (b. 1902) remembers playing in the barn next to the old mill as a little girl with her friends amidst the grain which was stored there, probably after being taken as payment for grinding, or perhaps bought and sold as needed in the community. Mary's father, Robert Lee Griffith, worked in the blacksmith shop attached to the north side of the mill. He made and repaired tools, shod horses and did all of the things the smith was asked to do in those days. He probably worked mostly in the shop, but sometimes took his tools to the farm if required.

The mill dam washed out in 1918, and the mill stopped after running since at least 1763. A low dam was rebuilt about fifty yards north of the old mill site. The dam was raised to a higher level in 1930 by the Maryland State Highway Department in order to restore the former beauty of the pond. Some say the old mill was dismantled by Ralph Bounds and Bill Costen and the boards used elsewhere, partly to build the Ralph Bounds garage just south of the pond. Perry Horsman also worked in the blacksmith shop by the mill, Thornton says, and when the mill closed, the shop was relocated across the stream near the old post office, and Horsman continued to work there. The site is probably where the brick house stands today, formerly part of the Beverly Hitch lot, but sold to Charlie Bishop in the early fifties to build a house. It is unclear whether the old shop was moved or a new one constructed.

Thornton's mother, Laura Lee Richardson Hitch (1888-1970) was from Church Creek in Dorchester County. She graduated from Towson College and became a teacher. Her first assignments were to schools in Wicomico County, where she met Beverly and later married him. Beverly lived with an aunt in the old house by the creek in Somerset County before he married Laura. One of the schools in which Laura taught was Trinity, which is still standing today as a dwelling.

The Allen School where Thornton attended had seven grades being taught in one room by Miss Mildred Whayland. Formerly, under Squire Price, who taught in Allen for 33 years (1860-1893), there were two rooms. When Thornton finished his schooling at Allen, he rode the bus to Upton Street in Salisbury. The bus was a long, limo-type vehicle driven by Hamp Murray and transported from ten to fifteen people. He moved to the new high school on East Main Street in his senior year and graduated from there.

Out of high school, he helped his father on the farm for a while, his father having retired from the mail job. Together they devised a sprayer to destroy the Mexican bean beetle. They then experimented with the new sprayer to determine the best time for spraying when the maximum number of beetles were exposed. Thornton drove a truck for Joe Reading for a while, and while traveling to Cleveland, Ohio, he saw a sign saying: "Learn to weld; free of charge!" Thornton stopped long enough to learn welding before returning to Maryland. Later, he would make good use of his welding skills.

Thornton recalls trucks and wagons loaded with beans lined up as far as the church on the way to the auction block north of the store in Allen. As many as twenty truckloads a day went out of Allen. First came the string bean crop, followed by the Fordhook butter beans. (George Cordry's history states that "in the early 1900's, as many as 10 to 12 thousand bushels of string beans were sold at the market in Allen" and that the market was owned and operated by the late Jesse M. Pollitt.) The buyers were Jesse Pollitt, Kirb Gunby, and a man named Holloway. Harvey Mariner was the auctioneer and lived on the Mariner farm on Collins Wharf Road where Charlie Habilston lives today. (The old house burned down many years ago). Arlie Moore was the first farmer to grow string beans commercially, and Thornton recalls, Mr. Moore also usually had the earliest crops of the season.

Some of the beans and other vegetables were transported to Baltimore by the Victor Lynn boat which left Salisbury in the afternoon, arriving in the city for the early morning produce market. The boat stopped at Collins Wharf about four o'clock in the afternoon. Al Wooten, Lynn's father, started the Victor Lynn Lines in the 1920's, Thornton recalls, and changed the power from steam to gasoline. The "Henrietta Francis" was the name of the first boat, which looked like a tug boat.

Thornton remembers one day when his father asked him and his brother Richard to take a few baskets of peppers to Collins Wharf in time for the afternoon boat shipment. When they got to the point near the intersection of Collins Wharf Road and Allen Road, a bolt came out of the harness, causing the shaft to fall down around the horses's legs each time he took a step. The horse was soon running headlong down the main street of Allen. As they raced past the Messick place, Fred Messick ran out to try to help. He could only grasp hold of the back of the wagon as it sped past, dragging him along until his knees were scraped bare and bruised through his trousers before he could let go. Thornton and Richard were finally able to control the horse by reining him in one direction, which happened to be the home of Laura Twilley, who lived where the Lentz family later lived. Thornton says the horse ran all the way up to the side door as if to enter the house. When Mrs. Twilley came to the door, she looked into the face of a scared, snorting, wild-eyed horse, a sight she long remembered.

Thornton remembers that the Gilbert Disharoon family once lived just west of the Community Hall where Fred Dennis lives today. The Disharoon House burned about 1925, and Olin Dennis helped get things out of the house during the fire. It is remembered that Olin brought the mattress down the stairs and threw a china closet out the window!

Thornton traveled as a young man, going abroad twice aboard ships out of New York. The first trip carried him through the Strait of Gibraltar, into the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal to the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and Ceylon. While in India, he visited the Taj Mahal, the 17th century mausoleum in Agra, India. On this trip he also visited Alexandria, Egypt. His second voyage took him through the Panama Canal where his motor ship developed engine trouble. After delays in getting to Los Angeles for repairs, he traveled to Pearl Harbor, Oahu, to deliver seven mooring buoys which were in use there when the Japanese attacked the U.S. Fleet on December 7,1941.

After he married Lelia Bozman, he got a job welding at the Bethlehem Steel Company located on Key Highway in Baltimore where they lived for a while. Before the war, he helped to manufacture gun carriages for an arsenal in Watertown, N.Y. He helped to raise a second deck on the old Esso Tanker that used to come to Salisbury and tie up in the east end of the Wicomico River and pump oil across Route 13 to storage tanks and truck tankers. When the war started, he helped to build the first Liberty Ship at Bethlehem Steel Co. He also worked for a while before the war at the Maryland Drydock Company where he repaired ships damaged by German submarines lurking close to our coastline. Some of these ships, Thornton says, had been sunk and recovered. The amount of shipping thus sunk and damaged was enormous.

Richard Hitch returned home from the war, Thornton recalls, late in 1943, on leave entitled him after his long patrols in the far east. The Navy needed an electrician, however, to fill the compliment of the submarine U.S.S. Grayback and Richard volunteered to return earlier than he had planned. The Navy Department reports that the Grayback with eighty men aboard was lost in combat on February 27, 1944 in the East China Sea. A few years ago, Thornton received a letter from the relatives of one of the other crew members that the Navy thought that the ship, upon returning from a long combat patrol, was caught on the surface and sunk. Richard's grave marker is in the Allen Cemetery near the other members of the family.

Just to the south and west of Thornton's garden behind his house on Wicomico Creek stands a walnut tree about thirty inches in diameter. The tree, Thornton says, marks the exact spot where an old ice house stood years before he was born. The house was set in the side of a sharp rise in the ground and closed in to cover the huge chunks of ice, some of which were cut from the pond seventeen inches, up to twenty-four inches thick. The chunks of ice were covered over with sawdust to keep the air away, and the sawdust brushed back to chip ice for making ice cream and cooling lemonade. The ice house, he recalls, wasn't much of a house at all, but a sort of cave covered over with boards and filled with sawdust. Eventually, the ice house faded out and the walnut tree grew over the spot.

Thornton recalls that the Allen Pond used to freeze over for a period of about three months each year to a depth of a foot to two feet. The young people skated mornings and evenings and weekends. Fred Messick writes about skating parties beside the pond in the later part of the nineteenth century, when crowds of two to three hundred people gathered to skate and watch and enjoy food and drinks. The writer remembers Thornton skating gracefully back and forth across the pond, but it's been a long time. Miss Lillian Malone recalls the late Joseph Smith as a very graceful skater in his time. We tried to fix a time when the last real skating occurred on the pond, and it was probably in the late fifties or early sixties. The weather pattern has certainly changed!

The first generation of Hitches in Allen of which we have record was the family of Robert J. Hitch (1810-1832) and his wife, Mary M. (1816-1834). Robert J., grandfather of Beverly Hitch, and great grandfather of Thornton, was left on a schooner anchored off Whitehaven in the Wicomico River, all alone, to guard the ship's contents. He became tired of waiting for his rowdy shipmates, so he jumped overboard to swim ashore and drowned in the attempt. Mary gave birth to R. J. in 1833. (Courtesy of Henry Hitch, from the family Bible).

Robert John Hitch (1833-1901) married Sarah Amanda Phoebus Hitch (1836-1904) on January 11, 1865. They had four children: Mary Louise Hitch (1868-1914), Kirby Atwood Wilson Hitch (1865-1925), Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch (1873-1946), and Beverly Tubman Hitch (1876-1960). Mary Louise married Earnest Winfield Whayland (1866-1913). They had one child, Ada May Whayland. Kirby Atwood Wilson Hitch married Mary Eleanor Bothurn in 1892. They had seven children: Elizabeth Amanda, Alexine Wilson, Nettie May, Iva, George Thomas, Kirby Wilson, and Marguerite Eleanor. Robert Thornton Phoebus Hitch married Edith E. Bounds in 1895 in Wicomico County. They had six children: Henry Atwood Hitch, Hanna E. Hitch, Robert John (Jack) Hitch, Howard Christy Hitch, Paul Phoebus Hitch, and Edith Amanda Hitch. Henry Atwood Hitch (1896-1973) married Rosalie Harrell in 1920. They had two children: Henry Atwood, Jr., and Oliver Lee Hitch. Rosalie died in 1952. Henry Atwood married Blanche Ramey Hazelgrove, who died in 1983.

Thornton Phoebus Hitch (1914-) married Lelia Bozman (1919-1981). They had two children: Thornton Scott Hitch and Linda Jean. Thornton Scott married Mary Ellen Malone and they have one child, Kimberly Ellen Hitch, who married Jay Ragains. The Ragains have one child, Alex, bom in 1991. Linda Jean Hitch married Preston Waller and they have one son, Jay, a graduate engineer who works for the North Carolina Power Company.

Thornton Phoebus is the last Hitch living in the Allen area, on the site occupied by his father, Beverly, about one hundred years ago. Nearby, the large grinding stones stand alone and still, proudly marking the spot where once stood the bustling old mills, sawing and grinding out the history of the village of Allen.

From "The Daily News," Jacksonville, NC Saturday, March 20, 1999 New River's magic part of local legacy

To the editor:

Few people know about Buzzard Island. It's unusual because it floats. Our favorite place to swim was where Fisherman's Wharf is now located, and we could look out across the river and see Buzzard Island.

If a new kid came to swim with us, we would ask him to guess why the buzzards flew over Buzzard Island. The answer: Because they couldn't fly under it.

But then the conversation got serious, and we'd tell stories that Buzzard Island would sometimes float too far up the river and Mr. Durant Hitch would hook a tow rope onto the island and tow it back down the river. We thought that Mr. Hitch knew a lot about boats to be able to do something like that. Maybe it was some sort of river magic. It was a great story, but alas as I grew older, I realized that the story was not true. Boating and swimming were still a lot of fun, but some of the magic of the river disappeared. That's part of growing up.

After all of these years, many things have changed. No one swims across the way from Buzzard Island, but we do have Fisherman's Wharf. The Jacksonville Host Lions Club meets there every Thursday. I usually sit by Hederick Aman, who is 92 years old. He has lived in Jacksonville for many years. One day I told him the story about Buzzard Island. He had heard it many times before.

During the conversation, he gave me some information that added a new dimension to an old story. Buzzard Island is a mat of tangled roots and vegetation that is like a piece of sandwich bread resting upon some gooey mud. According to Hederick, there was a big storm many years ago, and part of Buzzard Island broke loose and drifted down the river until it lodged against the bridge. Someone (it may have been Mr. Hitch) did actually use a boat to tow this debris away. This information shows that many folklore stories have some foundation of truth.

There is some river magic. Real people can do things to clean up our river. We can leave a legacy for future generations. What kind of story will it be?

General Notes: George Carroll Hitch was born on Friday the 13th in August 1908 which, by his own account was a stormy and gloomy day. However, while the day of his birth may have been gloomy, his life was quite the opposite. He was known and loved by many as a sincere, talkative man who lived a simple life free of many worries.

He lived his whole life on St. Lukes Rd. just outside of Fruitland, Maryland in south-central Wicomico County. He was born and grew up on the 60-acre (+ or -) Hitch farm two miles south and east of town. The farmhouse was built circa 1905 by his father using native timbers from the land and old iron wedge nails popular at the time. In 1964, he moved "across the field" to the adjacent farm (about 23 acres) at the corner of St. Lukes and Milton Mill Roads where he lived until his death in 1990. This farmhouse was built circa 1900 and was torn down in 1990 and replaced by a mobile home occupied by his wife, Doris (Hamilton) Hitch, after he passed away.

While his first name was George, he was known by the name Carroll all his life. He had numerous friends and acquaintances throughout his life and was known by various titles through them. To his grandchildren and their peers, he was called "Pop-pop" while, for others, he was known as "Uncle Carroll". His physical size was somewhat diminutive standing barely 5 feet tall and weighing at most about 125-130 lbs. He had dark hair, which in later years turned white, with a medium complexion.

By trade, he was a cabinetmaker and carpenter who worked at Community Builder's saw mill located on Route 13 along the railroad tracks at the north end of Fruitland. The mill closed in the late 1970s. In the 1960s and 70s, he could be found quite often "hanging out" at the Jones & Malone (e.g., Nora Jones and Benny Malone) Texaco station on the corner of U.S. Route 13 and Main Street catching up with the local happenings with other Fruitland gentlemen over a Coca-Cola. He always amazed the author (his grandson) of the number of people he knew on a first-hand basis. Everywhere he went, he recognized someone, or was recognized himself, and would many times end up in lengthy conversations.

Carroll often related stories of himself as a young man. One of his favorites was about his first automobile. The setting was the 1920s and the advent of the Model A Ford. No one in the Salisbury area had gotten one as yet and many were on order. Carroll had placed an order for a few hundred dollars through a dealership in Salisbury to get one of new machines, however, he thought he would have a long wait given the car's popularity. Lo and behold, he received a telephone call from the dealer the next day telling him that he had gotten a Model A but the color was blue, not what he had ordered. However, he could have the car if, by Carroll's words, "Would not tell anyone where he had gotten it." As it turned out, he had gotten the first Model A in Salisbury and proudly drove it everywhere to show it off.

This was just one aspect of a man with a colorful, fun-loving and sincere personality. He loved to play the banjo and did so in an organized band with Bill Godfrey at Sandy Hill in the 50s and 60s. He could also play the fiddle and harmonica and seemed to play by ear since he could not read sheet music. Many times he would pull out the banjo and play "Comin' Round the Mountain" and other old time songs without a moment's notice. His musical inclination was quite well-known and many have said that his favorite song was that old spiritual, "Amazing Grace".

In his 60s, he would run around as if he were just one of the grandchildren. The author remembers him hitting a baseball on many occasions and bragging how he "used to play for the Yankees with Joe DiMaggio". He feared frogs and toads with a passion and would do anything to avoid them. His grandchildren, knowing this fact, would often find a toad and offer it to him. Once, when a toad was slyly placed in his shirt pocket, he stood on his head to get the thing to fall out - at 65 years of age!

A fall ritual for a number of years through the late 50s and 60s, Carroll would make apple cider. He crushed the apples in an old, homemade grinder powered by an electric motor. The apples were then put into racks lined with muslin cloth and stacked on an old press. The author can remember the sweet juice which came out of that press on those crisp autumn days. The bees would buzz around and we would drink the cool, fresh-squeezed cider, yum-yum.

George Carroll Hitch died in Peninsula General Hospital on April 19, 1990 after a short illness. He is buried in the Wicomico Memorial Gardens cemetery.

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: St. Lukes Road, near Fruitland, Wicomico Co., MD, Bet 1908 and 1990.
