Starns Hotel of 1913 Becomes Hobohola (Hovaka) Hotel of 1951

Col. Starns Builds Hotel Building -

Col. C. A. Starns is the founder of the present Hovaka Hotel. Col. Starns constructed the first unit of the building in 1911. The ground floor housed the Starns Grocery and Meat Market.

He was sole owner until his death [illegible]. His son, Herbert C. Hoover and a daughter, [illegible] L. Hoover are present owners.

Hovaka, Short for Hobohola -

Hovaka is an Indian name originally spelled Hobohola. Harry Wagoner, Hobart, who was a partner of Burk [sic] and Hoover in an oil company suggested the name Hovaka for the Hotel. Harry recalls the company's first well was drilled on property belonging to Mrs. Singing Woman, wife of Hovaka.

Starnes [sic]!

Little Substitute Forward Saves Central's Bacon.

JOHNNY SOERGEL, Central high's scoring ace, is in bed with the flu and the Cards missed him Thursday night.

It was due to the excellent basket shooting of Starnes [sic], a midget substitute forward, who filled Soergel's place, that the Oklahoma City five was able to get into the second round. Starnes hit three buckets in the final minute of play.

* * *

Hair Mussed - Starnes [sic] Scores

Byron Starns got his hair mussed up!

It happened in the Elmore City-Central game during the state tournament, when a lanky forward on the rival team stepped in Byron's face.

That proved a strain on the little Card's good nature. Byron, with his slick hair disheveled, went wild; hitting baskets coming and going. He scored half of Central's points. The team was praying for the same incident to happen in the Tulsa tilt, but someone must have given the oilers a tip, and, except when one Brave tried to push out Starns' front teeth, he was left strictly alone.

"In each of our forthcoming games may our 'patent leather kid's' hair be mussed up," is the Cardinal team's latest petition to the luck god of athletics.

City Athletes to California

Bus Boggs and Byron Starnes [sic] Attend Western School

Bus Boggs and Byron Starnes [sic], two of Central High School's star athletes, will leave early Thursday to enter the University of California.

Boggs has been a star on the Cardinal football team for three years. He is an elusive, speedy backfield man. Starnes [sic] was a member of the Central basketball squad which attended the national tournament week before last.

Both are promising prospects in their respective sport.

ON SHORT END AFTER PLAYOFF

Mortensen's Crew Leads California Through First Half

By BOB PATTON

A junior college basketball team with its nose pointed toward big things began a voyage that will take it through a series of, hard games by holding the fast University of California 145-pound team to a 23-23 tie. Jaysee lost the five-minute playoff, the final reckoning being 29-25.

Riverside looked good all the way through, playing fast and hard. A few times the boys missed setups that should have been sure points but Califorina did the same thing to even it up. The "Cal" visitors have profited from a barnstorming tour that has kept' them in good shape and developed their teamwork, while for, the Junior college, this was practically the first game that has amounted to anything. Yes, they look good.

Coach Mortensen used Keich and Starns as forwards through a good share of the game, slipping in "Pop" Meyerson and Krinard a couple of times. Both combinations worked well. The only other Riverside substitution was Needham for Shockley at center near the end of the game. Add Arbelbide and South as guards and you have the lineup.

Good Shot

Starns, the newcomer to the squad from Oklahoma, made good, doing some of the prettiest shooting since Hess Pierce used to drop them in from freakish angles. Starns has a high arching shot that he can use from quite a distance from the basket--a good trait to have handy in. the last few minutes. Starns needs a little more practice to get in shape but after that, he will be a "find."

The half ended with the score 15-11 in favor of Riverside, the Tigers having a decided edge in the second quarter, holding "Cal" scoreless for that short period.

The crowd got a great kick out of the game and those who went will go to see the Junior college play again. South and Arbelbide, who made such a hit on the football field through their fine playing, show possibilities of winning more glory on the basketball field. They played well last night.

The California team defeated Santa Ana Junior college 34-19 last night, so things are looking up for Riverside.

O.U. Has Two Shots at Fourball Tourney

Accent Still Is on Youth

By STAN PATE

Oklahoma City's spring-long golfing derby - the sixth annual fourball tournament - goes to the post in the quarterfinal round Sunday at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country club, and a couple of youthful combines which have served as front runners in the four previous rounds will settle part of the stretch drive in a hurry.

The feature attraction on the card of four topnotch matches will send the two youngest outfits in the field against each other when Deen Wood and Jimmy Samis tangle with Bo Wininger and Byron Starns.

Championship matches will parade to the barrier starting at 2 p.m., with consolation matches scheduled to hear the starter's bugle at 3 p.m.

Strong Every Week

Ever since the tournament opened Wood and Samis, a pair of Classen highschool youths whose combined age is only 34 years, have played spectacularly ripping par to shreds on public courses. The move to their home layout should make them even more formidable.

Wood has been clocked in 67 over the par 71 layout, and last summer led state qualifying for the national amateur tournament.

Wininger and Starns hail from Norman, the former a student at the University of Oklahoma, and the latter a book store executive and one-time Central highschool basketball star.

Wininger, whose home is Guthrie, was a highschool hotshot two years ago and some railbirds consider him as fine an individual golfer as the field boasts. . . .

[Note by compiler: Francis "Bo" Wininger later became a professional golfer.]

TIBBETTS, CLARA E.; (mother); 1857 - 1931 		MARCHANT, Clara Elizabeth (I786)
 
186 (1) Crow Family

Esther was born in 1785 in Wheeling Creek, Greene County, Pennsylvania, in the extreme southwest corner of the state. She was the daughter of Jacob and Susan Secris(t) Crow. Jacob Crow (Gro) was born in Germany or Holland about 1732 and left Germany as a young man leaving his mother and two sisters who were all the family, behind. After arriving in Philadelphia about 1750 without any money, he was sold for a sufficient time to pay for his passage. After his time was finished, he married Susannah Seacress (Secrist) about 1860.

Susannah Secrist was born about 1735, and was also an indentured servant. The family name Siegrist occurs in variant spellings in the German language, as follows: Siecrist, Siegrist Siegerist, Sigeris, Sigeris, Siegeriss, Sigerist, Sigriz. The German word Sigrist is a provincial term and it is still current in the South or Southwest of Germany, in the Alemannic linguistic area. This is the area from which came most of the ancestors of the present day Pennsylvania Germans (sometimes erroneously called Pennsylvania Dutch).

After they were married, Jacob and Susannah Crow purchased a 362 acre farm near the Great Crossings on Youghiogeny River, in West Moreland County, in the southwest corner of Pennsylvania. The farm was located in a mountainous area, and is now mostly under water as a dam was later built for flood protection. A blockhouse was built on their property for protection from Indians. Here the family resided for many years, until some of the children were in their teens. There they raised eleven children, five sons and six daughters: Frederick, Martin, Peter, John, Michael, Susan, Elizabeth, Tena, Catherine, Esther and Mary. The family then began looking for a home further west. In 1769, they traded a team of oxen and wagon for a tract of land of about 450 acres, situated on the south branch of Wheeling creek, later to be known as Crow Creek or Crow Mills, in Greene County, Pennsylvania. It is located in the extreme southwest corner of Pennsylvania, about one-half mile from the border with West Virginia. Their new home was a log cabin. Near the home site were two mounds and an earthen circle, built supposedly by the Indians. Jacob Crow served as a private in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War, serving in the Company of Capt. Daniel Smith (1776).

Jacob and Susannah moved to their new home in the wilderness when Michael was but a few weeks old. The first night in their cabin was not one of peaceful slumber. Roving bands of Indians were on all sides. Fearing an attack by the savages, the family fled into the woods. The mother had the small baby, Michael, and became separateds from the rest of the family. Fearing to call out, and also that the child might cry, she walked nearly all night, not knowing where, but was pleased, when daylight came, to find herself in sight of home.

When Michael was seven years old there was an alarm circulated that Indians were around, and all fled to the block house at Lindley's, Washington county, Penn. Two men living alone on what is now known as the Harsh farm, not getting word soon enough, were killed. After all were at the fort, a number of men departed to see about the men they feared had been killed. John Crow was one of the number, and for some reason brought Michael with them to the Farley farm, now owned by Thomas Steele. There they left him, John promising to come back that night. Fearing to stay at the house, he crossed the creek and stayed under a cliff of rocks. At evening he came to the house and got something to eat. Fearing both Indians and wolves, he raised a "puncheon" in the floor and arranged so that if Indians came he could crawl down and out under the house. If wolves came, he could go in the house and shut the hole. He was left there till the evening of the third day, when the men came back. The men at Harsh place were found dead and were buried. The head of one was gone, and was afterward found by some of Jacob Crow's sons while hauling wood. After the block house was built at the Crow farm, word was given that the Indians were about. When they gathered at the fort in the evening, it turned out that Whartons, who lived where Majorsville now is, had not been apprised of the danger, and no one seemed willing to go. Michael, then perhaps fifteen years old, said he would go. After the warning had been given he was returning across the hill, following a footpath through the woods, something attracted his attention. The moon was just rising, he stooped for a better view, and saw Indians crouched in the path. He turned quickly aside and jumped behind a tree. A large dog come after him and he ran to another tree, at the same time striking at the dog to keep him off. He then took a more circuitous route and got home in safety. The following morning, two boys went to catch horses which were running in the woods. The Indians captured them, and took them nearly to Moundsville and tied to a tree. The Indians went elsewhere, and while left alone, the the boys made their escape.

The family soon planted apple seeds and sprouts brought with them over the mountains in pack saddles. While the settlers were tending their crops, they kept part of the men out as lookouts to watch for the Indians. They opened sugar camps, cleared ground for corn, built corrals for their sheep, erected a blockhouse or fort near the cabin, and hunted for game. The latter included bear, deer, wildcats, panthers, wolves, otters, wild hogs, ducks, and turkeys. German was spoken by the family, and the children learned to speak English in later years. Fear of the Indians was never absent from the thoughts of the family in the backwoods.

The bottoms along Crow Creek were covered with maple trees, and the making of maple sugar in the spring was an important part of the life of this pioneer family. Sometimes 100 pounds or more of maple sugar would be stored under the ledges of the rocks at the lower end of the bottoms. It was during one of these sugar making times that the boys; John, Martin, and some of the smaller boys were one night engaged in boiling down the sugar water in the big bottom across the creek. Intending to work all night, they had brought meat to cook over the fire. The younger lads had grown sleepy as they sat watching the blazing fires, and had been put to bed in a hogshead turned upside down.

Suddenly the dogs bristled up, and ran out into the darkness, barking fiercely. Believing that the Indians were lurking nearby, the boys threw sugar water on the blaze to extinguish it. They awakened the sleeping boys, and together they went to the top of the hill on the opposite side of the creek. There they spent the rest of the night on a bed of leaves behind a log. They had taken their meat with them. and being afraid to light a fire, ate the meat raw. This time, however, the Indians did not appear.

When the elder boys of the Crow family grew into manhood, they were very fond of hunting. In the Spring of 1782, John, Martin, and Frederick Crow set forth on one of their frequent hunting trips. They were accompanied by two men from Fort Henry (now Wheeling). The expedition carried them down the river to the mouth of Big Fishing Creek, which empties into the Ohio River at New Martinsville. They had been informed that elk hunting was especially good in that region. Up that stream a few miles, at the site of the present town of Reader on the mouth of a branch creek, they established their camp. This stream has retained the name of Crow Run because of the events that occurred there over two centuries ago.

On the evening of the second day, as Frederick and Martin, who had been out in search of game during the day, were returning to camp and had nearly reached it, they were suddenly attacked by Indians and fired upon from the rear of the camp, which was built after the fashion of the old style sugar house. Frederick was shot in the left breast, the ball passing through his arm and severing the artery near the shoulder. At the same time Martin had a portion of one of his ears shot away. Frederick, seriously wounded and bleeding profusely, had started to run, being closely pursued by the Indians. He ran a distance of some three or four hundred yards when, looking back, he found that his pursuers were rapidly gaining upon him. Without hesitation, for he had no time to deliberate, he plunged into the waters of the creek, which were about waist deep, and waded across to the opposite bank. Instead of following him through the creek at once, they paused for a moment on the brink of the bank near the spot where he had entered the waters. On reaching the opposite bank he looked back to see whether they were following him, when one of the Indians hurled his tomahawk at him, which, fortunately, missed him, although it came in unpleasant proximity to his head. Their guns having been emptied at the time of the attack, they had had no opportunity to re-load. During their brief pause, however, one of his pursuers had reloaded his gun. They promptly re-commenced their pursuit, following him up the stream, the side of which he closely hugged, to a long point extending out from the south side of the creek, with which they were familiar, and where they expected to succeed in cutting him off, and effecting his capture. This, however, proved to be unsuccessful.

As the wounded man ran, he placed the leaves of the sassafras, which grew in abundance in the neighborhood, with which he filled his mouth, and chewed them into a mucilage and pressed them into his wound, thereby staunching the flow of blood, the free loss of which was beginning to enfeeble and exhaust him. Upon turning again to look back upon his pursuers he discovered an Indian with his gun to his shoulder taking aim and in the act of firing at him, but he eluded the bullet by quickly throwing himself upon the ground, and the shot passed over him. Jumping to his feet he gathered up his rifle. Realizing that it was a race for life he bent all his energies to the occasion. In the rapidly gathering darkness which was settling down upon the scene, he succeeded in eluding his pursuers and making good his escape.

Frederick and his companions, at their first setting out, had agreed upon certain signals to be used by them in case of emergency - such as the hooting of an owl or the howling of a wolf, by means of which in no long time the discovered the whereabouts of each other, and in company made their return to their homes, with the exception of John. It is supposed that this latter person, being absent at the time of the attack, on hearing the firing at once hastened back to the camp to render assistance if needed, and in so doing became a target for the Indians, as it was afterward found that five musket balls had entered his breast, which were so close together that they could be covered with the palm of a hand. He must have been instantly killed.

Martin remained in hiding quite a while. He felt that the stillness was foreboding. After some time had elapsed, he heard some more shots echoing across the valley in the direction of the camp. These were the shots that killed John Crow. After a second prolonged stillness that seemed to indicate that the Indians had departed, Martin ventured to imitate the sound of an owl as a signal to his companions, if by chance they were living. After two or three attempts, he was rewarded. Frederick, who was not far distant, gave an answering hoot. Hardly able to believe his ears, he signaled again, and so the two brothers got together. Their other two companions seemed to have escaped unharmed. The body of John Crow was found by his brothers at the side of the creek, near the camp, with his head partly submerged in the water. His breast had been pierced by five bullets, his throat slashed, and his scalp removed. They picked him up and placed him in a hollow sycamore tree, covering the body to protect it from the wolves, until they could return and give the remains a proper burial.

Hastening to Fort Henry, they returned with reinforcements to the scene of the tragedy. Only four days had elapsed. Wrapping the body in a blanket, it was interred beneath the sycamore tree, using walnut slabs for a coffin. The following inscription was carved on the tree:

J. J. CROW
1772

This living marker stood until 1875, when it was blown down.

In the small family grave lot on the old Crow homestead in Greene County, Pennsylvania, are crude stone markers bearing the date, 1791, and the initials: L. C., S. C., and K. C. They mark the graves of the three daughters of Jacob and Susannah Crow: Lisbeth, Susan, and Katherine, killed by Indians just across the creek, not far from the site of the old Crow home. This occurred on Sunday morning, May 1, 1791. The three girls, accompanied by their sister, Christina, were going to see an old couple that were nearby neighbors of the Crow family. They had stopped to play with a snake in a ripple of the creek, just below what is now known as Indian Rock. Their youngest brother, Michael, who had been after a stray horse up Crab Tree, came along on horseback going home. He stopped a moment to talk, and asked Christina if she didn't want to get up behind him and ride back home. She said she would rather go on with the girls. He then galloped down the creek, noticing that his horse snorted and pranced about uneasily. The horse had scented the Indians, who were hiding behind the rock, now bearing a historical inscription of the incident being related. No sooner had Michael ridden out of sight, then the Indians revealed themselves.

There were two Indians and one white renegade named Spicer in the party. They brandished their tomahawks to warn the girls to keep silent, and advanced to capture them. They led the girls up the creek to a little flat. One of the older girls said to Christina, the youngest: Pray to God to prepare us for what is before us." The Indians sat down on a log and asked them questions about the fort, etc. in the vicinity; Spicer doing all the talking for the Indians. One of the Indians who was seated between two of the youngest of the females held a tight grasp on the wrist of each. From their significant gestures and looks, and the conversation carried on between the three in the Indian tongue it was evident that they were discussing the disposition which they should make of their prisoners. The girls realized from what they saw and could understand that no mercy was to be extended to them; but that their death was determined upon, and that their fate was imminent. Then they prepared to kill the girls. Grasping the victims clasped hands with one of their own, each Indian proceeded to tomahawk a girl. When Spicer, who had to hold two girls, struck the larger, Christina jerked her hands loose and started to run.

Christina, the youngest, a bright and sprightly girl, had formed a resolution in her mind that, as death was to be her doom, she would, at the first propitious moment which presented itself, make a break for liberty. Hence, while her captors were engaged in the heat of the discussion and the vigilance of the Indian who held her wrist was somewhat relaxed, with a sudden effort she withdrew it from his grasp by a dexterous twist of her arm and springing to her feet darted away, but she had not taken but a step or two when she received a blow on her back with the butt end of the gun which, with his freed hand, he had snatched from the ground where it lay beside him. The blow prostrated her, but only for a moment, when promptly recovering herself she sped down the hill to the bank of the creek. Glancing over her shoulder as she ran, she saw Spicer strike her sister three times on the temple. She hastened along the creek to her home and carried the sad tidings of the capture of her sisters. The Indians might have overtaken her if they had been so disposed, but in that event the other sisters might have successfully made their escape, and therefore they refrained from pursuit. She escaped, and the Indians also made their get away.

As soon as Christina communicated the news to the distressed family, they made a hasty departure from their home and fled to Findley's block house for shelter and protection, due to the fact that the Crow fort was small and unprotected. It being late in the evening when they arrived there, no efforts could be made that night to overtake the captors and their prisoners, but with the first streaks of dawn on the following morning a party set out with a view of rescuing the prisoners and punishing their captors. Upon reaching the spot where the capture had occurred, to their horror and dismay they found that the tragedy, which they feared had been accomplished. They found the oldest girl - Elizabeth - still living, but fatally wounded. A little distance from where Elizabeth lay writhing in her pain were found the dead bodies of the two other sisters - Catherine and Susan. Elizabeth had been scalped, but not killed outright, and came to enough to crawl down to the creek to get a drink. Two days later she was found still alive by a hunter named Enlow, and carried to the shade of a clump of trees growing around the great boulder in the bottom, near the creek. Here the family returning with a posse of armed men, found her and her protector the same day. She retained sufficient vitality to give an intelligible account of the incident of their surprise and capture, together with the details of the aftermath, and the treatment which had been accorded them by the savages and the renegade Spicer. She survived until the third day after the event when she expired.

The Crow family, on two occasions, had suffered terribly at the hands of the Indians. Christina Crow was the sole survivor of the last tragedy related. Some years later, when she had grown to womanhood, the renegade, Spicer, and an Indian had the boldness to ride up to the Crow home one summer day and ask for a drink of buttermilk. The horn had just been blown for dinner, and Christina and her mother, Susannah, were in the garden gathering vegetables. Christina looked up and exclaimed to her mother. "Law, these are the very men that killed the girls!" The mother abruptly refused the request for buttermilk, and the men, probably suspecting that they had been recognized, rode hurriedly away. As the Crow men came in from the bottom, where they had been having a log rolling, they saw Spicer and the Indian, gay in bright colored blankets, riding down through the fields. One of the Crow boys took out his gun (they always went armed to work); and leveled it at a bright flower that adorned the blanket of the Indian and in play snapped the half cocked trigger. As soon as the log rollers reached the house, the women hastened to tell them who the strangers were. They all came into the house, except two of the Crow boys, who stood aloof in whispered conversation. These two boys ate a hasty dinner, shouldered their guns and started out on foot to follow Spicer and the Indian. For hours they walked as rapidly as they could uphill, and ran downhill on the level, easily following the fresh footprints. But those pursued must have sensed danger and trotted horses, for by nightfall they had not been overtaken by the Crow boys.

Discouraged and exhausted, the boys camped for the night. The next morning, they resumed the trail, going only a short distance before they found the campfire still smoldering. The outcome of the chase was never revealed. Peace had been made with the Indians, and it was a crime to kill an Indian. When questioned, neither of the boys would affirm or deny any accusations, but merely reply that they were close enough to count the buttons on the Indian's coat.

In a later incident involving Indians, two of the boys, Martin and Frederick, decided to go scouting into the Ohio. After going out about Coshocton, they came upon an Indian camp and at once concealed themselves to await darkness. It appears that the actions roughly paralleled that of the Indians when they attacked the boys, and killed their brother, John, on Fishing Creek. After a while, two Indian warriors came in, built a fire, and cooked their supper. Finally, one of them went into the tepee and lay down to sleep. When the other Indian departed, the Crow boys stole up to the tent, pulled up a peg and lifted the edge right by the Indians' head. One of the boys held up the flap while the other shot the Indian through the head. They jerked his blanket off, took his gun and belt for trophies, and made their way through the woods toward home. The Crow boys felt, no doubt, that they had in a measure accomplished something to square their account with the Indians.

Three of Jacob's grandsons fought in the Civil War on the side of the Union. Two of the boys, Thorton and Madison Crow fought at the battle of Bull Run and were killed. They are buried at Arlington Cemetery. Jacob died August 18, 1822, in Richhill, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Susan died a few years later. Both are buried in the family cemetery in Richhill Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Jacob Crow's will was as follows:

Sailor Cemetery no longer exists. It was located on the north side of County Road 32, approximately 600 feet west of County Road 3, in Olive Twp., just east of Baugo Creek. The remaining stones for this cemetery were copied in 1985. They had to be dug up as they had bulldozed and pushed to one side to make room for a poultry house. Only 8 stones were recovered that were still legible. It is believed that there were perhaps as many as 15-20 total burials at this site.
