Obit of Elizabeth Gasche from Delta Atlas 1981 Pioneers around Delta Ohio
Elizabeth Gasche died on Tues. Jan. 6, 1914, aged 89y11m24d.
Elizabeth Pelton was b. at Chester, Meigs Co. O., Jan 13,1824, the daughter of David and Betsey Pelton, and one of a large family of children.
In the fall of 1842 the family moved into what was then Lucas Co. and located five miles notheast of where Wauseon now stands, on what is generally known as the Whittaker place.
During the fall of 1843 Jacob Gasche, the school teacher, met Elizabeth Pelton at the home of William Dye, and on Oct 13 the same year they were married at the home of the bride's parents. Immediately after the marriage the couple went to housekeeping on a place which Mr. Gasche had acquired, some three miles north of the present town of Pettisville. Five children were b. to this union: Adaline, deceased; Thesus, who lived at Marathaville LA; Agnes, wife of Jacob Buehrer, living near Stryker; Amarancy, deceased; and Wilfred, whose home in in Topeka Kansas.
The husband, Jacob, died near Hartford, Kansas, June 30, 1887, aged 79y8m12d.
The experience of this family was something out of the ordinary. The log house which the husband erected, 17 feet square, about 10 feet high, built of unhewn logs, with the gables "cobbled off" (built up of logs), the roof of long clap-boards, split from the trees of the forest, held in place with poles placed over each layer of boards, and the poles tied down with hickory "withes", the door made of "puncheons" (slaps split from logs),the cross pieces pinned on with woodenpins, the latch made of wood with "the latch string always on the outside", the floor and most of the furniture made of the same material as the door, formed a strong contrast with the moern house and its furnishings. The surroundings, too, where in keeping with the inhabitants.
The cabin was located on a sandy ridge in the midst of the primeval forest for which northwertern Ohio was noted. Neighbors were few and far between.
The nearest mill and market was Maumee, some 25 miles away, and the road to this place was a bridle path, and the woods. Many a sack of corn did Mr. Gasche carry before him on houseback, thru the miles of winding forest paths, to the mill on the banks of the Maumee River, to have it converted into meal for the family table. This trip was not devoid of danger, as the forest was filled with Indians and wild beasts, the former peaceful apparently, but treacherous, the latter ready at any time to spring upon any unsuspecting prey, either biped or quadruped.
It required years of time and the expenditure of much energy on the part of this fmaily and others similarly situated to clear away the forests, subdue the wild animals, and overcome the many other obsticales to be encountered in a new wild country.
For many years the deceased had made her home with her daughter, Agnes, where she was at the time of her death.
From 1918 History of Kansas article about son Wilfred: highest esteem. Mrs.
Gasche was born at Chester, Meigs County, Ohio, January 13, 1824, the daughte of David and Betty
Pelton. She died at Stryker, Ohio, January 6, 1914, at the advanced age of ninety years. Mrs. Gasche was
a woman of the sturdy, pioneer type, who worked side by side with her husband reared her children to
lives of usefulness and was an unfailing aid to her neighbors in times of sickness and trouble. She bore her
husband five children, of whom two are now deceased.

of the same material as the door, formed a strong contrast with the modern house and
its furnishings. The surroundings, too, were in keeping with the inhabitants. The cabin
was located on a sandy ridge in the midst of the primeval forest for which northwestern
Ohio was noted. Neighbors were few and far between.
The nearest mill and market was Maumee, some 25 miles away, and the road to
this place was a bridle path, and the woods. Many a sack of corn did Mr. Gasche
carry before him on horseback, thru the miles of winding forest paths, to the mill
on the banks of the Maumee River, to have it converted into meal for the family table.
This trip was not devoid of danger, as the forest was filled with Indians and wild beasts,
the former peacefully apparently, but treacherous, the latter ready at any time to spring
upon any unsuspecting prey, either biped or quadruped.
It required years of time and the expenditure of much energy on the part of this famly
and others similarly situated to clear away the forests, subdue the wild animals, and
overcome the many other obstacles to be encountered in a new wild country.
For many years the deceased had made her home with her daughter, Agnes, where
she was at the time of her death.

Subject: Obituary - Elizabeth Gasche
ELIZABETH GASCHE died on Tues., Jan. 6, 1914, aged 89y 11m 24d.
Elizabeth Pelton was born at Chester, Meigs Co., Ohio, Jan. 13, 1824, the
daughter of David and Betsy Pelton, and one of a large family of children.
In the fall of 1842 the family moved into what was then Lucas County and
located five miles northeast of where Wauseon now stands on what is generally
known as the Whittaker place.
During the fall of 1843, Jacob Gasche, the school teacher, met Elizabeth Pelton at the home of William Dye, and on Oct. 13, the same year they were married at the home of the bride's parents. Immediately after the marriage the couple went to house-keeping on a place which Mr. Gasche had acquired some three miles north of the present town of Pettisville.
Five children were born to this union: ADALINE, deceased; THESUS, who lives
at Marthaville, La.; AGNES, wife of Jacob Buehrer, living near Stryker; AMARANCY, deceased; and WILFRED, whose home is in Topeka, Kansas.
The husband, Jacob, died near Hartford, Kansas, June 30, 1887, aged 79y 8m 12d.
The experience of this family was something out of the ordinary. The log house which the husband erected, 17 feet square, about 10 feet high, built of unhewn logs with the gables "cobbled off" (built up of logs), the roof of long clap-boards, split from the trees of the forest, held in place with poles placed over each layer of boards,and the poles tied down with hickory "withes", the door made of "puncheons" (slabs split from logs), the cross pieces pinned on with wooden pins, the latch made of wood with "the latch spring always on the outside". The floor and most of the furniture mad of the same material as the door, formed a strong contrast with the modern house and its furnishings.
