OBITUARY - Christina (Miller) Lamson (mother of Sarah S. (Lamson) Campbell; written by Sarah's brother, David Henry Lamson, minister.

Fell asleep, we trust, in Jesus, near Olivet, Mich., Oct. 4, 1875, after an illness of but five days, our dear mother, Christina Lamson, aged nearly seventy-seven years. Her disease was erysipelas; and memory does not recall the time when mother was not a sufferer, or when she could distinctly see the faces of her children, she having been almost entirely blind for about forty years. She united in early life with the Reformed Dutch church, in Eastern New York, and continued that relation for nearly half a century. She was a constant attendant at church and a consistent Christian. She had been for many years an observer of the Bible Sabbath. She was never known to complain, but at all times expressed the most implicit trust in the God of her fathers. Funeral services were held Oct. 5; and we laid her gently away for a few days, till the night goes by, and the "dawning of the morning" brings everlasting day. Words of comfort were spoken by Rev. Mr. Elmer, of Olivet, Mich.

LETTER FROM MRS. SARAH S. CAMPBELL TO HER CHILDREN

Mrs Sarah S Campbell
Eaton Co Olivet Mich

Take good
care of
the good
healths

Olivet March 9 1889
Dear Children
You see I
am at Olivet again and it seems quite natural to sit here at the table writing but it is more lonesome than it used to be for I have been away so much lately it is two years ago last night at half past twelve when you took the train for the west I woke up just as the clock struck twelve and lay awake until two thinking of you how you looked through the car window and I remember just how Elbert looked the last glimpse I had of his face as Mr Harrington turned around between the Pear trees Elbert looked toward the house at you and I as we stood in the door I have been so lonesome to day it seems as though I would fly but I cant and so must try to get along without seeing either of you for quite a while yet. have not been feeling very well to day I feel some better to night got a letter from Elbert the day I came home he said you talked of coming out there before your Husband does he did not say why. you said in your last letter that you supposed Elbert and I had our arrangements all made about my coming out there he would be glad to see me any time but I have not got money enough to come out there but hope I can come this fall sometime will make a great effort to do so that is the best I can do Sunday Morning Have had my breakfast and made a cake the house is in Apple Pie order for you see I spent all day Friday cleaning took the beds all apart and moved every thing under them took up the carpet and shook it and mopped under it and tried to get cleaned up some so I can take some comfort in sewing as I am intending to make my dress and fix up my clothes so I can go out to work again by the first of May. I feel as though I must rest a while before commencing work again you wanted me to send you a recipe for making corn meal pudding I have no rule to make one by but will tell you as near as I can what proportions of each would make enough for you two take a quart on new milk and scald until it almost comes to a boil stir in slowly while on the stove after the milk gets hot 1 tea cup full sifted corn meal do not let it get scorched on the bottom then let it set on the table and let it cool until it is about milk warm beat up two good sized eggs and put in with a half tea cup of sugar and an even teaspoon half full salt you can put the sugar in while it is hot it is not so apt to settle to the bottom of the dish you bake in generally I make twice this amount and make it by guess and my taste you dont want to beat your eggs more than two thirds as much as though you were making cake now my Apple Jelly I made in this way

(There may be a page missing here as there is no recipe for Apple Jelly)

& now my dear girlie what more can I do for you can send you cake recipes by the dozen if you want them here is one for soft molasses cake
1/2 cup sugar of any kind
1/2 Molasses 1/2 sour milk
1/2 cup melted shortening
1 egg
butter or fried meat gravy or lard and salt if you dont use butter
1 good rounding teaspoon full soda
1 even teaspoon full ground cinnamon
and flour to make like ordinary cake dont forget the egg for I came very near it you can make better sugar cookies than I can but I will send you a recipe for Molasses cookies that is excellent perhaps you wont care for these cake recipies

Molasses Cookies
Take a teacup and put in 6 table spoonfulls boiling hot water and fill up the cup with Molasses do this twice over for once making and one nearly heaping teaspoon full soda. do not lose these libbie if you care for them for I may lose them myself. Mrs Hatch has been buried quite lately Mr Green is very poorly he has been to Ann Arbor and the Doctors say he cant be cured ulceration of the Rectum and Fastula I think Mrs Fisher said Nettie has been up to Examination last thursday havent heard what success she had Matie Foote-Nutter has lost her baby havent heard any other news so far must close with love to you both Mother.

BASIC FACTS

Jacob Hoss was born about 1734 in Holland.3 He was born in 1743 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania.2,4 He and Mary Bohne were married about 1760 in Fritzelburg, Maryland.3 He and Margaret Bean were married on 13 April 1815.4 He died on 10 February 1817 in Washington Co., Tennessee.3 He died before April 1817 in Washington Co., Tennessee.4 He was buried in Jacob Hoss Family Cemetery, 405 East Fairview, Johnson City, Washington Co., Tennessee.4
Jacob Hoss had reference number 2842. Revolutionary War. Jacob Hoss was a Revolutionary soldier. After the war he, together with two other soldiers, decided to try and improve the fruits and vegetables so necessary to their welfare. These three veterans, Jacob Hoss, Charles Robertson and John Margaret, (not sure that Margaret's given name was John but am sure of the surname) got together and decided to concentrate on apples. Both Robertson and Margaret propagated very good eating apples, but they did not keep well in the winter. Keeping fruit in those early days was a real problem. But the apple Hoss propagated was a marvelous cooking apple, and it kept well, and it is still in use today, fully one hundred and fifty years old, at the least. The exact year it was first propagated I do not know but it must have been before 1800. In many districts it is called the Horse apple, and attributed by various people to Jacob Hoss, Jacob Hass, Jacob Hess - all referring to the same man.
The last summer I was with my grandfather (1885) (grandson of Jacob Hoss), he took me by the hand one day and we walked out into the yard to the old, old apple tree, showing me it was dying, and saying another Hoss apple must be planted in it's place. He died in a few months and a young tree was never planted."

Story told by Mrs. Mary Sevier Hoss Headman, age 77, Knoxville Tennessee, 26 September 1950, in a letter to J.P. Hess, Business Manager, University of Tennessee.
