[Br'c3'b8derbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #0812, Date of Import: Nov 25, 1997] !Lorenzo & his wife are buried beside each other at Oakland Cemetery. He was a railroad machinist. On 27 Mar 1953 he dictated his personal history to his daughter, Beryl. Portions of the history are as follows: "I had a very pleasant home. When I was small I was cross-eyed, tow head, and very shy. I was called 'Whitey'. I attended a country school & walked from about a mile & a half to two miles to school. I have a country school education. I remember a big chart we had at first to learn ABC's. I had a good deal of ability in arithmetic. On the last day of school one year, I had taken mother's little 4" pen knife & was cutting my initials in the side of a hickory tree. The pen knife slipped and I cut my left thumb (right corner) & all these years it has left a mark & my thumb nail splits there. When I was around 3 or 4 years old, the neighbor women came over to visit mother & I was so shy, I crawled under mother's skirts & played with her garters. My cross-eyes straightened themselves out later. We lived a mile & a half from town when I was a boy, in timber & farm country in Paulding County, Ohio. Melrose was a nearby town. As a boy, we played a sort of baseball, did lots of ice skating, sliding down hills, bob sled riding, sleigh rides. We'd take the girls half way down a hill sled riding and roll them off. I had regular farm chores- feed the pigs, etc., but mother did the milking. During my school days there was a little hollow tree that had a bird's nest in it. I pulled eggs out one at a time & broke them & then pulled out the nest in pieces. Then I pulled & pulled on something that wouldn't come up. I discovered I had a snake head in my hand & I let it go in a hurry & it popped back into the tree stump & I ran as fast as I could. Once when I took cattle back to the pastures, when I was a kid, I saw a hornet's nest. I threw a clod at it. A hornet came out of it so fast, like a bullet, & hit me right between the eyes & threw me to the ground. I let hornet's nests alone after that. We used to go home from shool & after chores & eating we'd go skating on the Erie Canal. In the summer tow boats were pulled by mules on the bank. In the winter we would skate on the Canal & still places near aqueducts would freeze slick as glass. I was a really good skater. ...I started working for farmers. My first job was for my uncle at $6.00 a month. These jobs lasted about 3 months in the summer. One thing I bought was a suit of clothes. This suit had a square cut coat, vest & long trousers. I was around 12 or 13 then. I went to work in a stone quarry, a place that crushed rock for highways. I was a laborer in the quarries for $1.25 a day. From there I went to Baltimore, Ohio, & worked in oil fields & quarries. From there I went to Chicago. My brother invited me to come there & learn car axle turning for freight & passenger railroad cars. I was around 17 years old at this time. My brother Harry was married to his 1st wife then (he was divorced later), & living in Hegwich, Illinois. In all I was in Chicago 48 years (one year out in Indiana). I met Mama (Lulu G. Troyer) at a dance. I went expecting to have a fight. Mama was sitting on a divan & we were talking. I said I was 42. She said, "You don't look 42 even if you are bald." I was really 24 years old. I had lost my beautiful brown wavy hair when I was about 21. We went on horse & buggy rides in our courtship days. (I bought the horse for Jess). We used to ride in a single seat open buggy. Mama is one of the finest girls I have ever met & has the highest ideals & intelligence." His daughter, Virginia, wrote, "My father came from Ohio were he attended rural schools...and had gone to Chicago as an apprentice machinist - axle lather operator for the railroads, his longest service with New York Central- hence the passes for his family to travel. My father's family moved to [my mother's] hometown when she was 16 & he was 23- and they met at a private New Year's dance. It took him four years to court this lovely dark curly-haired girl, who dropped out of school & became a printer's apprentice after a bout with diptheria- then decided to come back, & [she] graduated as valedictorian WITH HER CLASS after a year's absence!" Another personal history was dictated about his various memories. They were listed as follows: "EARLIEST MEMORIES: Bobsledding with mules. We were going calling with my parents, when the runner caught on the train crossing track. I was very small and was bundled up. The reason it impressed me was because there was the danger of the train coming. We were on our way to Melrose, Ohio. I was about three years old. I found a copper penny when about five. I hadn't started to school yet. The reason this impressed me was because copper money was not used much in these times. SCHOOL MEMORIES: When about eight years old my school mates had a jangle and said, "I'll get you." One day when school was over a bunch of boys went down the road about 1/2 mile (from school), this was on a Monday, where they crossed a bridge, one of the boys turned and socked me right under the eye; I turned and knocked him down and was nearly arrested for knocking his teeth out. I was not a large boy for my age and was a little shy. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF MY MOTHER: Ever since I could remember I have had a pleasant surrounding in my home. My mother was a good cook. She was good natured and economical, and I had many a good time with my brothers. My mother knew that we were "her best boys." My brothers (among them) were Jesse and Floyd... Jesse was the mischief maker of the boys, while Floyd was sickly and could not (often) hold his own. Jesse would try to make Floyd fight, and after tossing around awhile, he would yell, "Pa, oh Pa". Then angered papa would come out and give both of them a good licking. Jesse gave up independent living in later years (he never married) to stay with and be a companion to Mother Brand (his mother). READING MATTER IN CHILDHOOD: I was interested in religion as a normal child would be, but I couldn't understand the "religion" of the times. We got a country paper which came once a week. We also had a book of Poems, and of course, as in all the good families of the times, we read the Bible. MEMORIES: Once there was a man named Tailor, who was a blacksmith, and had a shop. He couldn't do his work unless he had a shot of whiskey. His shop was on my way to school. One day he "got religion" and then always had a bible by the forge. He never drank either, afterward. I used to go there and sell some old horse shoes I'd find around the farm for a penny or two, and he would buy them, even though they weren't of any value to him. And then, of course, there is the time that I hid under my mother's skirt because I was shy and there were visitors that wanted to see me. Being a small child and shy caused me to do this, but in those days Mother's skirts were very long and full, and so when the subject comes up in present day reference I don't blush anymore. I left school when I was fifteen years of age. Then out into the world of problems which hadn't confronted me before. (Although a boy living on a farm has many, even a young one.) WORK MEMORIES: My first experience was driving horses around a pole that fed cane into a grinder. The grinder processed the cane into molasses. This paid me 25 cents to 30 cents a day, and with $6.00 I bought the suit that I wore in my picture of me as a lad of sixteen. You may remember that it hung in the bedroom in a large oval frame, and the picture is colored. In Oakwood I worked for a man named Sam Hurger. For this I received $8.00 a month. When sixteen I worked for Pete Brand (uncle) about three and a half months. Then around Melrose, I worked for a farmer for 75 cents. His name was Isaac Stanley. To show the value of the dollar, I worked three weeks for $1.50 for a pair of shoes, during my school days. When eight or nine, I listened to the boys talk about the Wright brothers with two brothers and a neighbor boy. The neighbor boy said that the Wright brothers were going to make a test flight and I said, "They'll never ever be able to do that." There was a team of oxen hitched to a four wheeled ox cart nearby. MEMORIES OF FATHER: George Washington Brand was a farmer, carpenter and did house moving. When Lorenzo Dow Brand was born in 1883, his father had his hip broken, part of a house fell on him and he felt the effects of this injury for about seven years.
