Schoonover Still Warlike

-

Sheriff Mahoney is keeping campaign promises made to Joseph Schoonover, the war-like German farmer of Oak View township. Last summer when Schoonover was cutting a wide swath around Lovell the sheriff promised to put him in jail, and last night the chance came. Schoonover was bound over for shooting at Mrs. Mary Brant and he failed to give bond. He was housed at the coop last night. Schoonover is still warlike.

(transcribers notes: Joseph Schoonover Born in Pike, Ohio, USA on 14 Feb 1835 to Hiram Schoonover and Mary Coriell Killpatrick. Joseph married Nancy Emily Streete and had 8 children. He passed away on 12 Feb 1924 in Guthrie, Oklahoma, USA.)

Neighbors' Row in Court
Joseph Schoonover of Lovell, Charged with Shooting at Mrs. Brandt
Picking cotton in the midst of shot guns was described in district court today. Joseph Schoonover, an aged German farmer of Lovell, was put on trial for shooting at Mrs. Mary Brandt. Trouble had arisen over the land leased by Schoonover to Mrs. Brandt and by her turned over to her son-in-law. Schoonover is said to have ordered Mrs. Brandt and other cotton pickers off the farm and to have puncuated his remarks with two loads of shot. Somebody found a gun in one of the Brandt wagons and after Mr. Schoonover.
 The defense appears to be that Schoonover was shooting at some ducks in the next township when shot rattled down on the cotton pickers.

Transcribers note- I particularly like the name Happalonia Perkins, I've never heard that name before..and I wonder if the letter addressed to "Wealthy Willis" was someone being clever or funny.

Death of Daniel Haynes, 1836 New Hampshire Steam Mill, Newspaper Clipping

 ( This post is view-able in video format, source images are also clickable below.)

This article is from The Rutland Herald, Rutland, Vermont, April 12, 1836

"Sad Casualty- Mr. Daniel Haynes, one of the proprietors of the steam mill at Dover N.H. became entangled in the machinery of the mill on the 17th inst. by which he was thrown with violence against the timbers and machinery over head, until (his) arm breaking released him from the wheel and he fell to the floor a (lifeless) corpse- his skull much fractured-arm crushed to fragments-besides other severe bruises."

Dover became a manufacturing center in the 1800's with the areas fast moving waterways being used as a power source. The Cocheco Manufacturing Company was a major producer of cotton goods. The company built large brick mill buildings in downtown Dover near the falls of the Cochecho River that were linked by railroad.

Interestingly, Dover's millyard shut in 1937, the year after Daniel Haynes (part owner) died. The millyard then was bought at auction in 1940 by the city itself for $54,000. Now called the Cocheco Falls Millworks, its tenants include technology and government services companies, plus a restaurant.
