Had this i not been done the poor fellow would i have been taken back on the return t trip and, perhaps, barbarously pun- . ished. This man is now a prosper- f ous farmer in Ohio and was visited i by Gottlieb several years ago. He ' has three sons also prosperous far? ) mers, one of these being named I acob, in honor of his benefactor,‘ Jacob Bettschen. At the time _o.r, 5 Gottlieb’s visit he recited the inci-l dent with tears coursing down his cheeks. Gottlieb Bettschen of the} third generation of Bettschens in America, and the subject of this} sketch, excepting the four years his father lived in Preston, was reared on the farm. Like his father and grandfather before him he was a watchmaker, but he did much in assisting his father in clearing, Calti- _ vating and building. At the age of twenty<one with limited education and also limited funds, he left the family fold with his watchmaker "kit" and sallied out into the big, wide world to "paddle his own canoe". He went to the United States, it being the period the civil war was in progress over there. The latter state oi affairs he did not re- lish, and after travelling over seven states working here and there at his trade as a watch tinker. he returned to his native land, having had enough of the boasted "land of milk and honey". He then engaged in the tree business, representmg other nurseries and finally' starting one of his own. In this he was quite sue- . cessful, and much of the choice 1 fruit grown in this section is the l result of his efforts. He followed , this vocation for seven years. In grafting he had unusually good suc- cess, He next engaged in mercan» tile pursuits, but after being thus employed ior several years his father died. and he being the eldest son I was required to take charge of the I estate, and here he has lived over thirty years. . I Conspicuous features in his char. acter were kindness and generosity towards those soliciting his assist- ance. He made several trips to Switzerland, his native land, and on the first return journey brought over several of his countrymen at his own expense. After the ship had: been out some days it was discovered that there was one more name on the register than had been paid for. A search was at once made resulting in the discovery of a Stowaway.
