The following year was a busy one for this part of the township. Among MR. COOKS neighbors were BENJAMINE HART, in the edge of Perry Township. JOHN OGLE, HENRY SAMS, and his sons, who were married, and lived near, ANDREW and HENRY SAMS JR. and a family by the name of HOFMIRE. But little improvement had been made on their farms, and about three days a week were spent by each family in assisting to build cabins for new arrivals, or helping to roll their neighbors fields. The plan was for each one to cut timber on three or four acres, then invite all the neighbors for three or four miles around to roll the logs into piles for burning. During the work it was expected that the beneficiary would provide plenty of whiskey, and a supper when the task was finished. The logs were cut 12 to 14 feet long, and were handled with "handspikes" alone, as oxen were to slow motioned for the enthusiastic ardor of the pioneers,
