This article contained in the February 26, 1916 edition of Farmer's Guide was written by Mrs. Ralph Riggs, who was Thursay Toliver Way's great granddaughter. She collected this information from Thursay when she was 103 years old. "Few of us have the opportunity to tell a bit of pioneer history direct from the lips of one who is more than one hundred years old. Here in Lawrence County lives my great- great aunt who is one hundred and three years old. In 1815, her father, Charles Toliver, came here and took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres. He then returned home, in North Carolina, for his family. When the early settlers took up their claim they paid down so much and paid the rest yearly. If they found it impossible to pay for all they were permitted to relinquish a part of the claim. Aunt Thursay, as everyone calls her, was nearing her fourth birthday when they started back here, but she says that she can remember the trip as well as if it happened yesterday. The journey was made in a covered wagon, drawn by four horses. They led three milk cows. Imagine, if you can, a trail with but few old wagon ruts, through forest after forest, whose leaves had covered the ground and whose limbs struck against the covered wagon, sometimes leaving a rent. Three days before Christmas in 1816 Charles Toliver arrived with his family. They settled near a spring as all did in those days, which is now the northeast corner of my father's farm. The first task was to erect a temporary cabin, which contained only one room. Some settlers made only open front cabins. Toliver made a picket fence around the cabin so the children could play with some safety. When the cabin and yard was completed the father and sons began to clear for their cornfield. After the corn crop was gathered they took it to Kentucky to have it ground. Few were the trips because the journey required many days, often weeks. A meal without bread was not unusual. Sometimes they had grated bread. This was made by grating corn, before it hardened, over a tin with many nail holes in it. The pulp they used as meal. Later they hollowed out an oak stump for a mortar and ground the hardened corn into meal with heavy stone. They had Johnnie cakes. This was cornbread that was baked on a Johnnie board the fireplace. This board was homemade. All the cooking was done in the fireplace. Their dishes were pewter. They had iron, of course, a baking pot or a Dutch oven, a few other iron pots and a large iron kettle. 'Stoves' Aunt Thursay said, 'I never saw one until my own children were grown and married.' Their dishes were pewter. They did not bring anything breakable and only what they had to have. They brought apple, peach, cherry and plum seeds which they planted in their nursery. One of the apple trees still stands near the old home place. Its diameter is not more, if as much, than twelve inches. The branches are numerous, enough for a half dozen trees. The apples are few, tough and coarse. Mr. Toliver was a blacksmith in North Carolina. When he came he brought along all the irons required to make his plows, harrows, hoes, etc. The wooden parts he made here. He made a loom for his wife to weave their cloth for clothes. She had brought along her vegetable seeds and madder root and indigo seed which she set out and planted for dying red and blue. Their lace they made with a needle on a board. They brought along a big and little spinning wheel. Often at night before the buzz of the spinning wheel, the scream of the panther was heard. The wolves howled and the growl of the bear was near. Looking up from her work, through a opening, the fiery eyes of the catamount were seen. Aunt Thursay tells it all without a shudder. One morning when she and her father went to the sugar camp to start the kettles, while the mother and sisters cooked breakfast and the boys were clearing, her father stopped suddenly and told her to step behind a tree. He motioned the dog down. Aunt Thursay peeped from behind the tree and saw on a tree that leaned across their path, a bear. Her father killed it. They used bear fat to season greens. Her mother would go out and gather an apronful of shonie for greens. You don't know what shonie is, Aunt Thursay says, and I guess she is right. The maple sap was always made into sugar and stored in barrels. Wild bees were plentiful. They hunted the bees trees, hived the bees in gums and stored the honey in jars. This turned into sugar and it and the maple sugar were used to make sweet cakes. When the fruit trees came into bearing they preserved all their fruit with the sugar. Before the trees bore they had only wild fruits which were black and red haws, papaws, persimmons, wild grapes and May plums. There were several years before any blackberries were found. During this time they had a house raising, all neighbors helping, and erected a three floor log house. I do not mean a three-room house, but one with a ground floor and two others above it. The doors were made of clap boards and the floors of punchcons. These were split logs whose faces were smoothed with a broad axe. A wide poplar puncheon was used for the table. They made stools for chairs and brought their beds from North Carolina. Years later the house was used for the barn by my grandfather. All that remains today of this once homestead is a heap of grass grown stones beneath the Balm of Gilead tree. A log cabin was erected for the church house. It stood in what would now be the center of the cemetery. An old white headed man, from north of where Bedford now is located, came once a month to preach. His name was Rev. Mitchell. All he charged for preaching was the fee it cost him to cross White River on the ferry boat. Rev. Mitchell soon died and the next pastor's name was Vandebuer. A man came from North Carolina and taught the school children in this same cabin that was named Spice Valley. This I believe is the second oldest church in Indiana the other being Lost River Church. They celebrated their centennial in 1914. Spice Valley Church was organized beneath a shed owned by Billy Maxfield, that stood in a plot south of the cabin. Maxfield was a mill-wright and there he ground the bread stuff for the early settlers by horse power. Many times, Aunt Thursay said, 'when I was seven or eight years old, I led the horse around the sweep.' The sweep was the path around the burrs where the horse walked to grind the corn. A man settled in the valley. His name was Bennie Webb. He was a hatter and made woolen hats for men and boys. There were seven families located here when the Tolivers came. The first family that came to this county was named Phillips. They came in 1813. Toliver's 5 nearest neighbors lived four miles distant. A man by the name of Oodles moved near White River and made jeans for men and boys clothing. There were no doctors. They were seldom sick. Aunt Thursay said she was grown long before she saw a dead body. A dentist was unknown. I asked her what they did for toothache: 'Just let it ache' she replied. Bells were put on the horses and cows so they could be easily found. Squirrels were a pest. A premium was paid per head and an extra prize to the one who could show the most heads. Wild turkeys were plentiful. Mr. Toliver and sons would go out and kill wild turkeys. The mother dressed these, drying the breast meat to be used as bread. In those days of quilting bees, minute and Virginia reel dance and the husking bee, the squire did the marrying. I tried to get Aunt Thursay to tell me a romance, but she only smiled. She told me this ending of one wedded pair. Every day when the husband was out at work the wife would take him an apronful of sweet cakes. One day he saw her coming and waited for he was hungry. When she drew near, what do you think he got? Rocks? Yes, and she threw them, too. A few other acts and they parted. He left her. There was one place they called Deer Lick. Here the dear came to lick salt that was in the soil. Deer Lick is a pond today. Across the fields is a number of old rocks. Beneath these was an Indian camp. Aunt Thursay, with her father and a neighbor's girl, went there to hunt beads and relics. Quite a number of flint have been found. I have in my possession an Indian hatchet that we found in our garden. I have seen many rocks on my father's farm that Aunt Thursay said were used to sharpen knifes. The Indians were gone when Tolivers came." She appeared on the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence County, IN. She appeared on the census in 1880 in Marion Township, Lawrence County, IN.

The Springs Valley Herald (March 6, 1913) reported "Elizabeth Toliver Charles was born near Orangeville, Indiana, July 30th, 1869. She was the daughter of George and Cornelia Wilson Toliver and was the oldest daughter of that family. She died in the early morning of Feb. 27th, 1913, aged 43 years, 6 months and 28 days. Lizzie grew up into a happy, wholesome, young woman. Her gentle disposition won for her the love of everybody with whom she came in contact. On May 3rd, 1888, she was married to Will A. Charles, who survives her. Comparatively all of her married life was spent in the house where she died, familiarly known as the Aunt Sallie Campbell home, and there she particularly endeared herself to us all by her open heart and hospitality which was no-wise changed from former years. Few of her friends indeed, are those who could not recall Lizzie's hearty invitations to her home, and her kindly ministry in it. For many years she has been a consecrated Christian woman, and was a faithful member of Ames Chapel M.E. Church. Lizzie's Christian life was the kind that counts for God. It's fruitage was that of the spirit. Galatians 5:22 reads The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Against such there is no law, and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh. And so it was with our loved one. The husband and mother, the brothers and sisters are grief stricken. The companionship is broken, the comforting counsel is gone, but we know that in her own suffering (and for years she bore affliction) Lizzie found not only comfort but joy in her Christian service and she would bid you turn to her Savior and make Him your comforter in these dark hours. She would bid you rejoice in her heavenly birthday, where she has gone like stepping forth into another room, to greet her Savior and the loved ones there and to make heaven nearer to us all for her going. There are left besides scores of friends, the husband, brothers, sisters and other relatives. The funeral services were held at Ames Chapel on Saturday, March 1st, by her pastor Rev. O.E. Haley and Rev. Raaf, of Bloomfield, her former pastor, and the body laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining, beneath a blanket of beautiful flowers, each one a mute tribute of love for this life not lived long, but lived so well."

Nell Watson Sherman's book, "Taliaferro-Toliver Family Records", states that Charles Toliver was the son of Charles Taliaferro and Ann Kemp, other children were Moses, Jesse, John, and William. However, Charles Taliaferro's book, "The Taliaferro Family - Three Centuries in America" lists Mildred and Kemp as the only children. According to Velma T. Parmerton, Charles Taliaferro's Essex County will is quite explicit - there were only 3 children, Mildred, Kemp, and Sarah. If there is a connection between the Tolivers and Taliaferros, it must be some other place. 2. Census data is listed as follows: Head of Household: Census year and location, family members, and other facts where appropriate. Family Members: Census year and location, and other facts where appropriate. 3. The spelling of names in obituaries, newspaper articles and census records is often incorrect. Early censuses were done verbally, with the census taker often spelling the name based on how it was pronounced. The spelling could be different in every census. The same thing occurred in obituaries and newspaper articles. However, in most cases these items are reported in this document just as they were written. REPORT INFORMATION Created by: Robert E.
