Commodore Perry Dawalt
Commodore Perry Dawalt, son of John and Mary Dawalt, was born May 15th, 1858, and died November 19th, 1912, of paralysis, aged 54 years, 6 months and 4 days.
He was united in marriage to Dora I. Cauble, of Washington county, October 28th, 1883, who died March 27th, 1902. To this union were born four sons, all of whom are living except one that died in infancy. They are Charles P., Earl W., Perry C. He was married to Minnie Katherine Kober on October 31st, 1909, who survives him.
He was an honored member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of South Boston and was a regular attendant until his first stroke on November 2rd, 1911. He was an honored and upright citizen with the confidence and respect of all who knew him, a loving father, a devoted husband and well loved by all his neighbors and friends. He was always ready and never too busy to lend a helping hand in time of need. He leaves to mourn his departure his beloved companion, three sons, one little granddaughter too small to realize her loss, besides a host of relatives and friends who regret that he has passed from their midst.
The funeral services were held at the Christian church at Canton on Thursday morning at 10:30 o’clock, conducted by Elder Marion Brock, of Borden, who paid a glowing tribute to the real worth of the man whom he had known for a number of years.
Many beautiful flowers and floral designs marked the appreciation of sorrowing friends who followed the body to its last resting place in Franklin cemetery.
Nannie Hinds and Elsie Anderson acted as flower girls, and his intimate lodge brothers, Messrs. Matthew Kinney, John Hinds, Theodore Retherford, Samuel Dawalt, Ezra Sease and John Neidiffer acted as pall bearers.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown us during the sickness and since the death of our dear husband and father; also for the beautiful floral offerings. We will ever hold you in fond remembrance and God will bless you. The Family.

He had reference number 12647. A survey of the Dawalt Cemetery was conducted in 1942. Included as part of the survey was a listing of important relics and heirlooms. The list included the following:
Portrait of Colonel Henry Dawalt, Sr.
Picture of brothers John Gross Dawalt, Daniel Dawalt and their wives.
Well-preserved copy of "Historical Notes Concerning the Dawalt Family in Indiana."
A grandfather's clock brought from Germany. This is an immense clock which has some unusual features. It shows the changes of the moon; days of the month and days of the week; with second and minute hands, in fact about everything would ever need to know even to the changes of the season. The weights of the clock are 16 lb. weights and the key that winds up these weights resembles a crank more than a key.
Large German Family Bible -- from which Emanuel ? is able to read. This family bible was bought to this country by the first Henrich Dewalt, who became a Rev. soldier.

Note: Newland DeVault, in his report, stated that he doubted that this was the original Bible of Henry Dewald of Pennsylvania. That Bible most likely passed to Henry's widow, then to her daughter and granddaughter. It was eventually sold at an auction.

Winsal Earl Dawalt . . .
The Roots Of Adventure Are At Home
By Frank S. Anderson, Leader-Democrat, Special Feature Correspondent

"We will call him Earl". So it was at the east edge of Washington Township almost ninety-three years ago that a chubby little rascal, Winsal Earl Dawalt, one of four sons belonging to Commodore Perry and Dora Isabel Cauble Dawalt saw his first light of day. Deep down go the roots of this good natured man of dry wit. Today he lives alone on the spot where he was born. Fantastic.
From these roots he has listened to the sound of the whippoorwill, the croak of the frog, the mocking bird, felt the thrill of a freshly turned furrow. He is a friendly man. You can call him Earl. There are those who say he would be friendlier if he weren't such a died-in-the-wool Democrat, but Earl doesn't think being a devout party man detracts one whit from friendship.
Winsal Earl Dawalt born September 20, 1885, is the way the listing reads in the old family bible. The listing includes three brothers: Perry, Charlie and Bynam; the last died in infancy.
1885 -- It was the year Daimler developed the internal combustion engine and Congress prohibited unauthorized fencing of public lands. There was an increase in the number of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. The Post Office established special delivery service. Cleveland recommended suspension of silver-dollar coinage; relations were strained with Britain over Canadian fisheries.
Waterman perfected the fountain pen and Chicago's Home Insurance Building inspired the term "skyscraper". Leland Standford University was chartered and it was the year for the dedication of the Washington Monument.
Grandfather Henry Dawalt, man of influence, bore himself well in newly established Washington County. Within the family file today there are six "sheepskin" deeds indicating extensive land ownership. One of these dated 1826 with the heading John Quincy Adams, President of the United States, reads: "No. 2164 -- To all to whom these presents shall come, Greetings, Know Ye that Henry Dawalt assignee of George Holsa, had deposited in the general land office a certificate of the Register of the land office of Jeffersonville. It appears full payment has been paid for the east half of the northeast quarter of Section Thirty-Three in Township Three north of range three east containing eighty acres --- signed, John Quincy Adams.
But, direct family information shows that Henry became a land holder in 1814 when Salem had just become established as a town.
"I was born in Quaker Country," Commodore Perry's second son reflected pride from his modest living room. This meant much was going for him from the beginning: The community concern, industry of the Quakers plus the Dawalt drive. How could he miss?
After he learned to toddle it was no time till he came on strong, was assigned the family chore of watering the horses. It was natural that he should learn to ride just like his brothers. Commodore had a good strain of horses.
Mrs. Harvey, teacher, had a direct bearing on his coping with life and learning the 3 R's at Canton School. His mother, hardworking, instilled compassion within him. She gave him desire.
Quite suddenly, one Sunday morning an accident occurred at the family group prepared to attend the Methodist Church at Canton. Childlike and ready the youngsters hustled to a ringside seat, namely the upstairs window to watch Grandpa harness the horse to the family wagon. In the clamor for first to this high perch Earl was accidently shoved out fourteen feet to the ground below.
Church attendance was cancelled that day as little Earl got family first aid prior to the doctor's arrival. He lay unconscious for several days with a head concussion. After many weeks he improved. The scar remains on his head today. He lost time at school but nature mends well and once again the horse's mane was flying in his face as he raced into the wind.
He has a small pictorial book given to him by his Mother when he was ten as she returned from a Colorado visit. The book's name is "Out West". It contains vivid sketches of Buffalo Bill, Colorado scenes, Indian pictures: High Hawk, Little Wound, Spotted Elk, Ouray, the great Ute chief, etc. To Earl the book is priceless.
Outside and inside Quaker ranks there was a united community respect for the Friends -- the good Church-School quality they projected. The Dawalt boys attended Quaker High School (razed in 1956). It was located next to the now Orthodox Church location between Salem and Canton just off Highway 56. Adrenalin flowed within the battle-brittle football team of which Earl was a fullback. He learned the meaning of teamwork and played an aggressive game on a winning team.
Quaker scheduled and trounced Salem High and according to Earl, Salem never scheduled the Friends again. This was in the early 1900's. R. B. Handley was Quaker's gusty coach. He produced gutsy teams.
Earl remembers some of his teammates of yesterday: Jesse Dennany, Duris Howell, Osborne McLemore, Howard and Fred Newby, B. F. and Grover Grimes, Joe Albertson, Dick Newlon, Pratt and Jim Parker, Claude and Otis Shields, brother Perry.
He commented about Lee Mitchell and brother Perry, "they were the last two graduates of Quaker High School -- after that the school operated as a grade school."
Farming was Earl's life in good measure. He did it all. The Dawalts started with horse-drawn plow and kept pace with the threshing machine then the more sophisticated tractor. They had one of the first hay-balers in Washington County. They have had their roots in corn, oats, wheat, rye, hogs, cattle, horses, change and rolled with the punches.
Earl took great pride in the quality of his Red Hogs. He pampered and placed them on display at Washington County Fairs. He had a great interest in cattle. He deals on top the table with a talk turkey and put you money where your mouth is approach. He has served on the Board of Deacons in the Christian Church, dabbled in politics, built silos, tobacco barns, layed concrete block buildings, shown carpenter expertise, elected to the County Council; helped lay a new floor in the Washington County Courthouse. He has been versatile. His church background has been varied but today his heart beats for the Old Franklin Church.
In the early days he gained a reputation as a hunter, fisherman and trapper -- coons a specialty. An open invitation took him to a camp on the Kankakee River just south of Chicago about forty miles, a good spot for a sportsman. At the two-acre camp owned by Charlie Dusler and wife, campers became impressed with Earl's hunting, trapping and fishing proficiency.
Ironically, one day at camp, Earl was introduced to a man whose name was Al Capone. Winsal Earl played it cool and sensed immediately that he and the King of Chicago's Underworld were there for different reasons. Capone was a different kind of trapper and had no interest in coons. The big Honcho from Chicago was curious about the man from Washington County. What was his mission? But Quaker Country friendliness paid off for Earl. It melted Capone's suspicion and he too, was impressed by this man's special knack at hunting, fishing and trapping. The narrator tapped with emphasis as he told the story.
One evening they had a big supper. Fourteen coons that Earl had caught provided the main course. About 50-75 people were on hand to enjoy the delicacy. Some were Capone's hand-picked "businessmen" of few words. Earl concluded traffic was there that did not meet the eye though the only bottle of alcohol he ever saw was on Charlie Dusler's hip. It wasn't Earl's nature to feel uneasy, but shaking hands and skedaddling back to Washington County seemed like a sensible move. This is what he did.
He has been married two time, first to Merva Bracy, then to Gladys Day. Gladys died in 1958. Altogether with life's ups and downs he reflects how good the big picture has been. He has traveled, been over much of the United States and into Canada. In 1963 he and brother Perry went to the Rose Bowl at Pasadena. Perry died in 1973.
Today Earl enjoys visits from family members. Pete and Bernice Dawalt Hilton, Gladys Dawalt Colglazier check him out during the week. Harvey Hinds puts in a regular appearance. There are those who reflect tender loving care. Earl has a good appetite and enjoys a joke.
The life of Commodore Perry Dawalt's second son exemplifies a lesson -- a shining example. It could be viewed as the closing of the Dawalt dynamic stage as he hobbles from room to room, out to the mail box before settling down to T.V. His joints react stiffly but one detects a twinkle and a certain freshness of attitude. There is a glimmer of youth. He shifts quickly in his chair. Beauty is in he eye of one who sees.
It happened as the interview began. Warmth developed fast. A climate of gloom was totally absent. Sunshine was inside. Earl Dawalt is surrounded by things that have been precious to him for years. What a privilege! Family furniture retained becomes suddenly alive to provide companionship.
A huge grandfather clock keeping excellent time reaches close to the ceiling. It has been in the center of family fellowship and frolic for a long time. An electric clock synchronizes alongside to verify the accuracy of the older timepiece.
He rambled, "You can take scrawny cattle, feed 'em fast and they'll be tender. Remember that."
In 1965 it was a difficult decision when the property was sold to the late Harry Day. It marked the end of an ambitious family era that began in 1814. But with alternatives so few, it seemed sensible and the agreement provides for his use of the home during his lifetime.
A move from the family living room to the front porch found the weather ideal. An easy breeze tossed branches of two large maple trees in the front yard. The road ran close by. One of the trees is truly huge. "I remember when that tree was no bigger than a broom-stick and its growth was in doubt," said the man with hospitality as big as out-doors. He steadied his gaze on the big tree. "I don't have an enemy in the world -- I've outlived every damn one of them!"
Earl Dawalt is a friendly fellow, he lives to talk, to visit, but here's a tip -- don't visit during a T.V. football game.
Again he steadied his gaze on the big tree. There was so much more Quaker Country life he could have talked about. So much more.

Historical Society Enlightened With History Of Dawalt Family
The Washington County Historical Society met at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 31, assembling for the first time in the Assembly Room in the Steven Memorial Museum. President Clara Marie Burns called the meeting to order and the minutes of the May meeting were read and approved, there having been no June meeting.
Mr. Everet Dean reported that some painting and minor repairs are to be made on the Hay House. Also plans are being made for the installation of the John L. Morrison Gateway, a memorial commemorating the many Revolutionary soldiers buried in Washington County, and a wrought iron railing on the porch of the museum.
Mrs. Lennie Berkey reported that work is still being done on the interior of Hay House and some help is needed.
A committee consisting of Eugene Cook, Helen Burgess, William Ferguson, and Jack Mahuron was appointed to work on amending the by-kaws.
The program was presented by Mr. Walter Hilton. He spoke of the arrival and early history of the Dawalt family in America. In 1763 there lived in the Palatine Country, west of the Rhine River in Germany, one Heindrick DerWaldt. Since the French controlled this land at times, the name was often spelled Devault. There are some 32 spellings of the name. About 1765 Heindrich, his wife Maria and at least one child left Rotterdam and came to America. There trip on the ship "Chance" lasted six months and they suffered many hardships. Just imagin spending such a long period on shipboard with no sanitation, probably no fresh fruit or vegetables and lacking all the comforts of the modern day ships.
Heindrich and his family settled in Manheim Township, York Co., Pennsylvania. A follower of Martin Luther, Heindrich took an active part in the Lutheran Church, helping build the Third Lutheran Church. He and Maria were buried in the cemetery there but in 1918 the entire cemetery was removed to the Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Heindrich rests there under a tombstone bearing the following inscription: "Death is a blessing to all mankind. It is the evening to that restless day which we call life."
During the Revolution Heindrick enlisted in the Continental army with a good record. In 1790 he took four sons to east Tennessee where he purchased 1000 acres in Sullivan County. Frederick and Valentine were given one farm and Henry and Gabriel the other. Frederick built the Devault Tavern at Leesburg and Valentine built one at Wautagua (sic) near Johnson City. Today the Devaults in Tennessee still carry the French spelling of the name.
Henry married Kitty Gross and came to Washington County about 1810. Much has been written about him both tht Tri-County and Stevens' Histories. He helped in the naming of Salem, was captain of the first militia, led the pursuit after the Pidgeon Roost Massacre and helped in the rescue of the Menaugh and Hemsley boys. Henry and Kitty had seven children, and from sons David and John Gross Dawalt are descended the Dawalt family of Salem today.
