  • Notes 
    • Organ Lutheran Church records his birthdate as 26 Feb 1796...DAH
    • _____

      "John A. Clontz was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church, and we believe
      records show that each succeeding generation has produced at least one Elder.

      John A. and Martha Blair first settled at the old Clontz homestead near where
      Goose Creek flows into Rocky River, but later moved to the old Blair home, now
      known as the late John E. Haigler place. They had to following children;
      Jeremiah, John, Jacob, James, Lynn and Isaac. The girls were: Matilda,
      Hettie, Sarah, Josephine and Mollie. All of them are deceased with exception
      of Isaac A., who is in his 79th year.

      The Clontz family has been represented in every war that the United Sates has
      ever fought. Jeremiah and George asnwered when England tried to oppress the
      Colonies and some of the family was in both wars with Mexico. When thhe South
      called for volunteers in 1861 - James, Jerry, Lynn and Isaac answered and went
      with their comrades and stood and fought for what they thought to be right.
      And when the call of 1917 came their grandsons; Guy Clontz, the Williams boys,
      the McManaway boys, the Helms boys and many others of whom we have no record,
      answered and were in the Wolrd War. The Clontz' have not only been patriotic,
      but men of courage, patience and perseverance. They have been loyal citizens
      and true to every noble cause....The family has inherited a great
      reponsibility and a great trust has been handed down from generation to
      generation. The family may be likened to a River that flows thru the
      desert...its waters giving life and beauty to all."
