MRS AGNES LAW: commonly spoken of as "Grandma Law" of Erhart is one of the interesting women of Lorain county. She has lived more than nine decades and has had many interesting experiences.
"Grandma Law" has many thrilling stories to tell of her own experiences. She came to this country in 1833 from Wittenberg Germany where she was born 20 Aug 1830. She came with her father Thomas Laundenberger. It took 92 days to make the trip in the sailing vessel.
She can remember things that happened to her when she was only 4 years old, 86 years ago. One of her experiences occurred one time when her father went to Cleveland for food. Night came on & her father did not return. There was nothing in the house to eat. Her mother sent her to the nearest neighbors to get some bread. The neighbor only had a little left but gave her half of it. On the way home Agnes got lost. She was hungry but didn't dare to eat the bread she was carrying. She crawled into a hollow tree trunk & went to sleep. The barking of a dog woke her up. Before long her father, who had returned from Cleveland and had been looking for her, found her and carried her home, after she had eaten some of the bread.
Jacob Law, Grandma Law's husband, who died in 1917, was also born in Wittenberg Germany in November 1823. His father was a shepherd and he was the only child. Deciding to seek a new home in the western world, the family of 3 sailed from Bremen, the port of Wittenberg, on 1 Aug 1834. After a voyage of 43 days they landed in New York & proceeded west-ward along the Hudson river to Buffalo & from there to Cleveland where Mr Law bought 32 acres of unbroken land in Liverpool at $4 an acre. He built a log house on his farm.
When Jacob was 16 years old, he worked on a canal at Coshocton OH & gave all his earnings to his father. He married Agnes some time during the succeding years & at that time his father gave him 30 acres of land in Grafton township.
At the time when Grandma and Grandpa Law married and built their home, the woods were full of wild animals, the only roads were those marked by notches on the trees and the nearest place to go for provisions was to Cleveland. They cut timber and erected their log house together. The table was a couple of stumps with a board laid between them and the bed was built in the wall.
The children born to them were: John, retired farmer in Medina OH; William, farmer in Liverpool township; Mary (Mrs Henry Wise); Catherine (Mrs Louis Wise); Jacob and Joseph; all of whom own farms in Grafton township. The deceased are Carrie, Louisa, Henry and August, the father of Dr. Clarence Law.
Mrs Agnes Law is in perfect health. Recently she celebrated the 91st anniversary of her birth which consituted the Law family reunion. About one hundred of her friends and relatives were with her at the Old Homestead. There were five generations represented as Grandma Law has four great-great grandchildren. She has 6 children living, 36 grandchildren & 61 great grandchildren.
She spends her time at the home of her children, staying a few weeks with each one. Several came from a distance to attend the reunion and visit "Grandma". Among them were Mr & Mrs George Hatchel of Lansing, Mich, Mr & Mrs Douglas of Jackson, Mich & Mrs Jane Krummel of Genoa OH.
