Thus a native of Bronipton, answer

young fellow of about 20, smiled at'
tho quaint presentation of his lnfor-

In seven minutes he was nt the Dar-i

Seven hours work about the place

HELD PASTORATE IN OHIO
Old Church Records Tell of the Work
of President Wilson's Maternal
Grandfather.
The coming of Thomas Woodrow,
maternal grandfather of President
Wilson, to Ohio to preach, Is noted
brlofly In tho records of the Chilli
cotho presbytery. At a meeting held
nt Bloomlngburg September 12, 1837,
seemed exactly fitted to him.
By the end of seven weeks Marsh
and Cella were engaged. At tho end
of seven months John Darlow discov
ered this mutual devotion, fiercely or
dered Marsh out of the house and
.nearly broke Colln's heart by that
act. Cella eloped with Marsh, nnd
from a town seven miles distant wrote
n beseeching note asking for tho pa
rental blessing and forg!ven6ss.
There came back n scathing, scorch
ing reply. Forever, It stated, she was
shut out from heart and home. Neither
she nor the mnn she had wedded with
out permission should ever darken
tho door of Sevenonks again I Moro
nppcals, more bitter nnd definite re
piles, nnd Cella knew thnt she had
cast In her lot with Marsh for gooti.
Seven years passed by, unforgiving
and lonely for John Darlow, full of
life, variety and bliss for tho wedded
pair. Tender, considerate, loving,
Marsh had never given Cella cause
to regret marrying him, except for sor-
"Thomas Woodrnw.' n member of tho
Congregational Union of England," re-' roWful thoughts regnrjllng her father
quested to be received. Ills caso wns
referred to a committee. At the next
meeting of the presbytery, hold nt Rip- ;
ley In 1838, ho was accepted and Im
mediately received a call froin the
church nt Chllllcothe, which, being ac
cepted, hjo was Installed the first Fri
day in November of that year.
Tho next entry of Interest In the
history referring to Rev. Mr. Wood
row Is In tho records of tho presby
tery held In Rod Oak in 1847, to tho
effect that because ,of feeble health he
had resigned his pnstorate wlih the
church at Chllllcothe and -the relation
wns dissolved. He died at his homo
near Columbus In April, 1877.
It was his grandfather's church und
his old home In Carlisle, Eng., that
President, Wilson visited the first Sun
day he was In England last December.
Ho was born at Paisley, Scotland, In
1701, educated at Glasgow university,
did missionary work In tho Orkneys,
Bottled as the- pastor of the Independ
ent church of Carlisle, came to Ameri
ca In 1835, locating first at Brockvllle,
Can. It wns from that place that he
went to Chllllcothe.
At Lastl
There aro few cyclists who, when
compelled to execute repairs to Inner
tubes by the roadside, have not longed
fpr unpuncturnhlo tires. This desid
eratum now seems to hnve becomo nn,
accomplished fact In Sweden, where
tho shortage of. rubber has caused
great efforts to be made to find n sat
Cella was supremely content.
Marsh, It seemed, before coming to
Sevenonks had been a member of a
circus" troupe. He was a gymnnst with
a peculiar talent. This wns the ablN
Ity with lightning swiftness to hang,
twist and swing from ono trapeze bar
to n series of others placed at vari
ous distances. His net was a star
one nnd liberally pnid for. When ho
had applied at Sevcnoaks for work It
was after a fit of Illness and out' of
the circus season.
Marsh followed his unique profes
sion only four months In the year. The
first season Cella accompanied him,
nnd added to their store of savings
by taking chnrge of the wardrobes of
tho members of the troupe. The sec
ond yenr there was a baby, the third
year Marsh had accumulated sufficient
to purchase a pretty bungalow with
several acres set in small fruit sur
rounding it.
Then began nn ideal existence . for
the happy pair, still lovers. Marsh
wns at homo eight months of tho year,
Two new bnbles came nlong nnd health

her father Cella wrote him a l&vfhg

It wns the anniversary of their wed

them. Sevenonks was 200 miles away,
