Notes
Birth
Elsoff appears to have had its beginning upon a highway which was laid out along the banks of a stream about eight or ten feet wide. This stream therefore now winds through the centre of the town and the road on its banks crossing from one side to the other is the main street. The streets, of varying widths and devious courses, average not more than twenty feet in width. They are usually paved with irregular stones, have no sidewalks, and are lined on wither side by the houses, barns, yards, and outbuildings of the inhabitants who are chiefly occupied in tilling the neighboring fields. The houses are built by first erecting a framework of timbers a foot or two apart and filling in the spaces between them with bricks of various kinds so that the timbers are visible on the sides of the house. The furniture of the houses is of the plainest character and except a clock which is usually found in the living room there is little comfort or luxury. Along the cross timber over the doorway is generally an inscription often running across the entire front of the house and giving the date of the building, the name of the owner, and sometimes a text or pious and reverential expression.The Hiester Homestead in Germany by Isaac Hiester and read before the Historical Society 12 March 1907.
