A BARRACKVILLE PIONEER Where the town of Barrackville is now located, with its modern homes and stores, once stood the village of the vanquished Red Men. Where now is the railway, the industry the yards and the fruit trees, there once stood the home which was made from the skins of buffalo, bear and deer. There stood the Mighty Oak ----- the hunting ground of the Delaware Braves Where civilization now prevails, once rang out the call of the duck and the song of birds now long gone from this land. Into this rugged setting came Fredrick Ice, from the forks of the Cheat River. He bought 800 acres of land from the Indians for 560. , this in- cluded, all land between what is now Prichard's Mill and Dokota Mines. This he divided giving 200 acres to each of his four sons, Adam, Abram, Andrew and William. His oldest son, Adam, was the first White Child born west of the Allegheny Mountains. He died about 1951 and is buried be- low Barrackville. In the early development of the community, came otherfamilies, a- mong whom were: the Straights, Conaways, Cramers, Hawkinberrys, Rob- isons and Clellands. In the fall of 1796 Andrew Ice and Mary Bayles were married and came from Ice's Ferry to Buffalo Creek, to visit William Ice, Andrews brother. William and his wife decided this would be a good opportunity to make a visit to Ice's Ferry, so, taking their children with them they started on their journey leaving Andrew and Mary in charge of their house. While they were away the Indians made a raid on the settlement. Many years later Mary Ice told her children howaman had passed their house in the morning, just far enough away to be out of hearing. They thought it strange he did not stop, because strangers and travelers were accustomed to doing so. However, this stranger went on to the fort that stood on the Monongahela River about a mile below Fairmont. During this raid, Jacob Straight and Mrs. Draggo, who resided onFin- che's Run near the S. L. Watson farm is now, were killed. Many attacks were made on the settlement, but, outof the few prim- itive houses, has grown up the town where we live and work, where we go to School and to Church. One of the first houses in Barrackville was builtby Indian Billy, the half brother of Adam Ice. Soon after this many houses began and thus Barrackville was settled by the Pioneers. BOYS THEN AND NOW Once when Abe and Andy Ice were left at home to sow oats while their father and mother had taken the horses and gone visiting, Abe decided he wou1dn't walk but ride the ox that was there. Abe must have been a dar- ing boy but this feat was to large for him. When he threw the first hand- ful of oats the ox was frightened and Abe caught his foot and he was car- ried all over the field. While doing this he was shouting to his brother Catch'im Andy. Though this was a daring and dangerous experience Abe was unhurt for he was one of Barrackville's Pioneers, 42
