"When our ancestors came here this [Clarion County] was part of Venango Co., and it was a vast wilderness. Earliest settlements were made in (1802-3-4.) Clarion Co. was not organized until 1840. They were an honest, upright, God-fearing optimistic people. Each one had a piece of wood; and cleared it, built log houses with fireplaces outside (now we have them inside), log barns and the various outhouses. I tell you it was labor to grub the second growth, chop the big trees, roll and burn the big logs. I remember my Father telling me of Grandfather chopping the logs into cord wood and burning it to make charcoal. In 1850 they sold it to the Keating Furnace for one dollar a cord. At that time practically all farming and hauling was done with oxen and the roads were just trails. All grain was sowed by hand. The grain was cut with the sickle, and then some one invented the grain-cradle, and that was a faster and better way to cut it. The old settlers were a social set. They would assist each other in a pinch, and were neighborly. If anybody would butcher a hog or a sheep, their neighbors got a portion of the fresh meat, and all were happy. They had what they called folics, log-rollings, corn husking parties, barn raisings, and for the lady of the house, there were apple parings, quilting bees, barn dances and square dances. Instead of making New Year's calls [as] 'my lady' now does, the men would go in companies from house to house, commencing at ten to eleven o'clock P.M. and stand by the door and fire a volley from their flintlock squirrel rifles - be invited in to apples and cider, and so go through the neighborhood shooting the old year out and the new year in." -- Whitling family tree.
