"Henry Ohl located where D. Lawrence now resides, in 1803. The sons and daughters are now all dead, excepting, perhaps, one daughter. Several members of the family resided for some time in the township and vicinity. Henry, one of the sons, lived on a farm near the old place some years, and died in Canfield. David and Michael were drafted for the war of 1812, but got only as far as Youngstown when they were returned. Henry Ohl, Sr., was a blacksmith and had a shop on the farm. He was possessed of a good property, and was considered a shrewd, careful business man. Michael, David, Jacob, John, Abraham, Henry and Jonathan were his sons, and Eve, Mary, and Polly the daughters. When the family came to the township the road had just been "slashed out"and they were obliged to clamber over the fallen logs to reach their home. In very early times the women were sitting one day on the porch of their two-story log house, when their little dog came out from under the porch, barking fiercely. On investigating to learn the cause of his excitement, they discovered a monster rattlesnake upon the stone steps. Eve, a female gifted with a different spirit from the first lady by that name, procured a stick, killed the serpent, and hung its body upon the gate. The reptile was so long that it touched the ground on both sides of the gate."

Suggested edit: The images that have been added, while are legitimate, both are incorrect research. Henry was only a private in serving in the 6th Battalion Northampton Co. Militia , 7th Co., 5th Class in the year 1782. See PA Archives, Series 5, Vol 8, page 513-514. The Lt. Henry Ohl, wrongly referenced by the other researchers was for Henry Ohl born in Marlborough Tw, Philadelphia, Pa. on Dec 9, 1753. He was 2nd Lt. and acting 1st Lt in the 6th Battery of the Pennsylvania Line (regular army)...
