    Ephraim Hart was a Blacksmith as well as a farmer. He used a cannon
    ball as a weight to close the bellows that forced a draft into his
    blacksmith's hearth fire. The cannon ball was from the bombardment of
    Hancock, Md. by Stonewall Jackson's men during the Civil War. Clyde
    Barton Plessinger saw the cannonball in use as a lad. Ephriam's stone
    hearth was still standing in 1997 at the Hart place owned by Eugene Hart.

Name: Rachel Daniels
Sex: F
Birth: 20 MAR 1834 in PA
Death: 28 NOV 1911 in Whips Cove, Fulton Co., PA
Occupation: Homemaker
Note:

    The 1850 U.S. Census shows Rachel DANIELS age 16 living in Bethel
    Township, Fulton Co., Pa. in Household Number 36 with Rebecca WINK age
    45 as head of household. Also there was Henry Van Cleef age 10.

    In her later years Rachel Daniels Hart lived across the Whips Cove
    Valley from her half sister Annie Daniels Plessinger. The two sisters
    were rather close and they shared their hobby of landscaping and
    gardening. Rachel had a huge Boxwood growing in front of her house and
    it still was surviving there in 1996 when Gene Hart was the owner. In
    the 1930's Pauline Hart showed the author how fresh green leaves from
    the boxwood could be put on the top of a hot wood fired cookstove and
    when the leaves got hot they would pop like a small firecracker.

    Annie Daniels Plessinger's boxwood left the cove in 1937 on a truck
    bound for Harrisburg, Pa. Mack Leasure related how the boxwood had been
    surrounded by a trench just the dimensions of a truck bed about a year
    before the move. This was done to adjust the roots to that size before
    the move.

    In her final illness Rachel fell outside her barn. She had suffered a
    stroke and was paralyzed on one side. In her efforts to rise she had
    made a circle in the dry dust of the driveway. She was carried into
    the house and survived for only a few days.
