THE HISTORY OF THE ARPS
Nearly, if not quite a century ago, there came to the shores of America, two young Germans who, objecting to the long years of service in the Army, thought to try their fortunes in the New World. They gave their names as Peter and John Arp to the customs officials in New York City (and those names we will call them in spite of a rumor that the family name was Erp instead of Arp). Leaving New York City, they drifted to Williamsport, Pa., and here, through some chance, they got separated and in this world were never destined to meet again.
We will follow the fortunes of John Arp as nearly as possible. He became acquainted with a Scotch lassie named Jane Wilson and married her. Ta this union two children were born, one of which died in early infancy. The other was named Peter for the uncle he never saw.
Little Peter's recollections of his father we're far from pleasant ones, and it was perhaps good will for the child that his father died while Peter was still a small boy. The widow, finding life too stunious for her, married again. The stepfather, contrary to the popular notion, was always kindly disposed toward his stepson, leaving the child only pleasant memories.
At the tender age of nine years, the boy was apprenticed to learn the Weavers' trade. Those were years of hardship and want, and laid the foundation for many little peculiarities, one of which was the omission of butter on his bread and also the habit of drinking his coffee clear. The writer has often heard him tell of the mistress of the household putting sour milk in his coffee and using stale butter on the table for the hands, although their own table was set with the best.
Only one pair of shoes was allowed the boy every year, and when those wore out he had to go barefoot. At first, he was sort of a chore boy, and all the disagreeable jobs fell to his lap. Many times had he brought up the cows when the frost was thick on the grass and his little bare feet were blue with the cold. A hard life, but it built up a grand, generous nature, and made him one of nature's noblemen.
His education was limited, but for all that, he was a man of broad intelligence and could talk intelligently on the common subject of the day. At the age of 24 he was united in marriage to Mary Elizabeth Farley. She was a Weaver in the same factory in which he was working at the time and I believe they both worked at their respective trades even after their marriage. Seven children filled the family nest in the course of the years and they all lived to grow to manhood and womanhood.
The eldest, Laura Jane Arp, married Frank Morrison and was the mother of three children. The eldest child met with misfortune early in life and was felt a cripple. He is now married and conducting a grocery in the small, but enterprising village of Youngsville! The second child, a sweet little girl,' was taken while yet a tender bud to blossom in heaven. The youngest boy, now the father of two bright little girls, is conducting his father's farm.
Kate Anna, the second daughter of Peter Arp, married Lerven Davis. They married, after a number of years were dissolved, and she afterward married Frank Sheppard. At present, their home is in Saybrook.
Henry Arthur Arp married Irma Snapp, and has six bright young people to make life pleasant for him. They reside on what is known as the Snapp Homestead in Saybrook. Charles Willard Arp married Mable Eldridge and is the father of ten children, one of whom died at birth. Their home is at present in Stoneham.
Mattie Lelia Arp married Grant Sutton and assists her husband in a grocery in Cherry Grove.
Emma Mary Arp married Charles Barney and is now living on the Pine Grove Dairy Farm in Akely.
Virginia Ellen Arp, the youngest member of the family and the Author of this short sketch, married Arthur Shaw and is the mother of four children. She is busily engaged in farming, assisting her husband in the care of what is known as the Eliza Hale Farm opposite the Pine Grove Farm.
Mary Elizabeth Arp died at the age of 74 years, having lived a life full of a good work and always a kindly thought for others. Two years later, Peter Aro followed his faithful wife to the grave, glad to be at last with the companion who had faced the storms and sunshine of almost 50 years, by his side. Losing her was the greatest grief his life had ever known.
A few weeks ago, the writer was entertaining some friends from Titusville when the ladies of the party inquired her maiden name. She explained her interest by saying that the picture of my father looked exactly like her Uncle Peter Arp. (So, four of the descendants of John Arp's brother.) Perhaps in the near future the two families may come to know each other and what has always been a mystery may at last be cleared away.

SIXTH REUNION THIS IS THE SIXTH REUNION OF THE DECENDANTS OF PETER ARP, DECEASED, AND THE SECOND TO BE HELD WITH MR. HENRY ARP AT SAY BROOK. One year ago today, we all met at the home of Mrs. Mattie Sutton of Liona, and though all reported a good time, the loss of one beloved face and the shadow of the great war cast a gloom over all that was hard to throw off. Today the war is ended, the Peace Treaty signed, and the whole world is rejoicing. Although the absent one is gone never to return, we can still say in our hearts, "It is Well".
Since our last meeting many changes have taken place in our ever-widening circle. July 30, 1918 the "angel of life" came across the threshold of Mr. Allie Morrison and gently placed in their care a little fair which they promptly christened Mattie Laura. May she in the words of the immortal Rip Van Winkle ’live long and prosper'. The next addition to our circle came through the marriage of L.O. Morrison and Miss Bessie of Buffalo. This new member has already endeared herself to all those with whom she has come in contact.
Mrs. Kate Sheppard early in the year passed through a most successful and dangerous operation, and this, too, is a cause for much rejoicing. On April 16, 1919, one of the younger members decided that our circle needed an addition, and also that she needed a life partner to help her reform her share of the world. The wedding of Miss Lola B. Arp and Mr. Otis Groves was duly celebrated by members of both families at the brides home and they were given a rousing send off as they started in the journey of life together. This is the last addition to date, but by no means the least, and as he is so much in evidence and has already made himself so useful, we will let his good works speak for him. We wish them both a pleasant journey through life. May their joys be many and their trials all little ones. This completes our history for the past years and hope the next will bring us only pleasant dates to record.
