Manchester News-Journal, Thurs. 16 Feb. 1905 In the death of Mrs. Swank, North Manchester looses one of its earliest settlers, she having come to this place in the spring of 1837, when but six years old. In life she often told experiences of the trip from Montgomery County, Ohio, and of life in what was then the very western pioneer of civilization. She tells that when they arrived at the home of Peter Ogan, several miles southeast of here, they were compelled to stop and wait for several days for the water in Eel River to get low enough for them to cross. Their first home was on a quarter of a section of land about a mile and a half northwest of town. There were then less than half a dozen stores in the town, one of them being run by Asa Beauchamp. Her first schooling was received in a little log school house that stood on Third Street, but there was no such a thing thought of here then as streets and the school house stood among the woods and hazel thickets. In coming to the school, they would mark their way by propping sticks against trees so they would not lose their way in returning home. She would often remark to those about her, "Our young people ought to be thankful for the schools they have to attend. They are so much better than we used to have." Mrs. Swank remembered the first burial that was had in what is now called the old cemetery. It was that of a daughter of Allen Halderman, a sister to Ed Halderman, who lives in the north part of town. Abigal Harter was born April 8, 1831 and died February 14, 1905 at the home of her son, Owen. In 1849 she was married to Jeremiah Swank, and to them were born five children, one dying in infancy. Those living today (1905) are Israel, Silas and Owen and Mrs. Henry Bolinger. Mrs. Swank and her husband united with the Brethren church about the time of her marriage. Abigail's husband, Jeremiah Swank, was a brother to Peter Swank who was married to Henrietta.
