Daniel Van Vickle - October 10, 1884
The following obituary is reprinted for its genealogical and historical value. It appeared in the October 10, 1884 issue of the Democrat and
Watchman.
The venerable Daniel Van Vickle, Esq., one of the oldest citizens of Harrison Township, died at his late residence, Monday,
September 29th, 1884 after an illness of two weeks, of inflammation of the bowels. he was born in Walnut Township close to Ashville, on the 25th day of February 1817,
and was nearly 68 years old. he was the only son of Daniel Van Vickle, the old miller of the War of 1812 fame.
His father migrated to this state in 1803. At the breaking out of the War of 1812, he and three brothers entered the services, but in a short time
Daniel was discharged and sent home, as it was considered he could be of more service at home grinding flour than in the field, as at that time mills
and millers were very scarce. For many years his father ran the old mill below Millport, for his
esteemed friend, Philip Foresman, who has long since been dead.
Here young Daniel learned the milling trade and worked for his father many years, but preferring the farm to the dusty mill, he moved on a farm,
and ever afterward followed that vocation for a living. He obtained a fair education at select schools, as there were no public schools in his young
life.
In those early days wild game was abundant in this section of Ohio, and he and his father spent considerable time in hunting and ran many narrow
risks of their lives, while in pursuit of bears and other wild animals, which were a terror to the few settlers along the streams. he loved his old rifle
dearly and in his younger days was a marksman hard to beat. Whenever he drew the bead, something was sure to fall. But as time dimmed his
eyesight he laid aside his old companion which was near and dear to him.
His early life was spent in helping to clear up the wilds of this county. He always was a hard worker, and a man well fitted to brave the storms of a
forest life. he lived to see his native county one of the finest in the state.
He was first married to Elizabeth Clark, who bore him seven children. His second wife was Phebe Whitehead, and to them were born two children.
His third wife, who survives him, Nancy Hudson and to them were born five children. Five of his children preceded him "to rest," as he termed it.
The remaining nine are all grown except one boy, thirteen years of age.
His memory dates back and was associated with most of the noted men of the early history of Ohio. he had a mind that never failed him, and
carefully filled with past reminiscences, he was a most interesting man to talk with.
When the Williams Bros. were preparing their history of Pickaway County, they obtained much information from him. He has
peculiarity of remembering dates, and in relating many incidents that had occurred years ago, he would give exact dates as to year, month, and day. This he did
from memory. Probably but few men living today know the history of the county as he did.
As a citizen he was quiet and unassuming, but always in the lead when any enterprise that was for the promotion of what he believed to be for the
good of all, was to be pushed forward.
He loved his neighbors and always lent a helping hand to the poor. he believed more in actions than in words, and his house and comforts, sheltered
and fed many a poor wayfaring traveler. He always told his family "never to turn any one away hungry." His name has saved many a man, and he
has stayed the sheriff's hand more than once. Honesty was his motto, and all his obligations were met with one hundred cents on the dollar. He
admired an honest man above all others. He had no place in his mind for a rascal, and if ever once deceived, the same person need not entertain the
faintest hope that the action could be repeated.
When the Rev. Filler said, "he was known as a model citizen," he could have paid no higher tribute to the dead, nor spoken the honest feelings of
all his neighbors better than he did. he had not one enemy in the whole world. He was at peace with everyone.
In politics he was at first a Whig, casting his first vote for Gen. Harrison in 1840. When the Whig party broke up, he connected himself with the
Republican Party, and always remained in its lines. He always contended that human slavery was wrong, and did all he could to help free the slaves
in the South. He was not as strict a party man as many. In state and national elections he voted with his party, but in county and township elections
he always voted for those he considered the best men, believing they would be the proper men to attend to home interests.
In religion he believed in the one true and living God, and in Him he trusted his all. He always believed that if he lived an honest, upright, and
creditable life that at the close of life he would have nothing to fear, and how near right he was, was proved to him in the peaceful manner in which
death came to him.
When asked by a friend if he was willing to die, he replied calmly and peacefully that he "was ready, and prepared to meet his God." At one o'clock,
Monday afternoon, when he heard the old clock stike, he whispered to his son, Vance, who was watching over him, and said, "Six more hours and I
will be at rest." he died at about half past eight that night. In the evening, a while before he died, feeling life giving away, and conscious that only a
few more hours at most awaited him, he called all his family about him, and talked to them as only husband and father could talk, and when
through fave them the assurance that death was no terror to him. He said he was "ready and waiting" and just a few minutes before his death he
whispered, "all is well." He died without a struggle, surrounded by his family and kind friends. he had lived a life
creditable to himself and of usefulness to his neighbors, one which gave him so much pleasure at the end, and tonight he rests in the santuary of the tomb, beneath the quiet
watch of the stars. By his one request, he was buried in Reber Hill Cemetery, on Wednesday, lst inst.
