The latest addition joins a centrally located log cabin, the Hubert Ball memorial shelter, the Top Ag shelter, a blacksmith shop, a country store, the woodworkers shop, and the " Pioneer Village office" in a growing collection of buildings in the northeast area of the fairgrounds. Carolyn Donson and Ruth Spangler Moore provided information concerning the history of the cabin, which originally stood at the corner of 250N and 500E in Howard Towxiship. Carolyn: " On May 28,1887 Solomon Fisher, my Great- Great Uncle, and his wife Elizabeth owned the land where the log cabin was. We were not able to Jind out whether the cabin was there when he owned it or If it was built later. My husband Bill's mother, Esther Bryan Donson, was born in the cabin in 1910, when the house belonged to Elizabeth Fisher, an unmarried woman ( according to the abstract) who inherited it fiom her father, Solomon Fisher. This land changed hands many times through the years and in I945 my I Grandparents, John C. andMerle Grau Shrock, purchased the land with the cabin on it from Abe and Dora Gingerich. " Ruth: '! mIa rried Charles Moore in 1946. At that time his parents, John " Bert" and Lilly Moore, lived in the house. They did not have electricity, even though others around had it by - then. There was never running water or bathroom in the house. I remember when Charlie and I were dating we would carry the cqal- oil lamps around the house when we wentfiom room to room. n e walls of the log cabin were thick, and when we went through the doorways into another room, it seemed like we were going through a short hallway. When Bert and Lilly moved there, someone before had built a small enclosed porch on the front ( north) side of the house. It was not large enough to sit on, so Lilly keptflowers in it. The living room was the lower floor and the stairway in the southeast corner went upstairs into the only bedroom in the original log cabin. The children slept upstairs. There was a kitchen and a bedroom built onto the east side of the house. This was where Mr. andMrs. Moore slept. There were two stoves heating the house very comfortably, one in the kitchen and one in the living room. The Moores used wood and later coal to heat with. A small room built onto the back ( east) of the kitchen is where the handpump was located. As I remember, there was a door that went out of the north and south end of this small pump room." Carolyn: '! In the early 1960' s, when Bill and I had hogs in the barn near the cabin, we pumped water from the old back porch of the cabin with a pump-jack ( electrically driven).
