Ashbel Munson
Mentor EDITORS TELEGRAPH:
The pioneers who have bequeathed to us the heritage of this beautiful land, are surely worth
y of our grateful memory. Their names and history should have an enduring record; and in th
e belief that you will welcome to your colums a few lines bearing upon one of these honored m
en, I send you a sketch of a social gathering in Mentor, at the homestead of the late Ashbe
l Munson, on his birthday, the 6th inst., a place temporarily occupied by his daughter, Mrs
. C.M. Scott.
In response to her invitation some sixty-three relatives of the departed pioneer assembled a
t his old home for a picnic. Forty-six years have elapsed since he arrived in Mentor, then we
ll nigh a wilderness, resounding with the cries of the wild denizens of the forest.
Ashbel Munson was the son of Abner Munson, of Middlebury, Ct., one of Putnam's famous band o
f Rangers during the French and Indian wars, and there are legends still current in Connectic
ut of his bravery - his marvellous strength and endurance. The son of such a father cheerfull
y welcomed the toils and perils of a pioneer life.
Four generations were represented at the old homestead on the 6th. Lamberton Munson, Esq., o
f Geneva, N.Y., a younger brother of our departed friend, erect under the burden of 85 years
, and a sister, Mrs. Zuba Parmelee, aged 93 years, were present and sat at a table spread und
er the branches of a vine planted by their brother's hands, while before and around them wer
e souvenirs of the past, some of them in the possession of Mrs. Scott, being more than a cent
ury old.
Twenty children and youth* were ranged in a line and listened to a few warm hearted and genia
l words from their aged relative, who had come unattended from his distant home expressly i
n honor of the occasion. It was a goodly array, and showed no deterioration of the ancestra
l stock, and proved also that emigration does not necessarily tend to barbarism, a favorite n
otion you know with a distinguished eatern divine.
The occasion called forth many reminisences of pioneer life, and strengthened, as we believe
, the bonds of kindred and of mutual regard.
This season of social enjoyment closed with words of prayer and thankgiving to Him who was th
e God of the fathers, and who by the memory of his faithfulness to them would quicken and str
engthen the loving trust of their children.
B.B. Brunson
