Let's begin with an overview of the Fairchild history in America found in an old folder in the Sullivan County Museum in Laporte, PA in early 2007. The history was donated to the local Historical Society, and presumably authored as well, by Ethel Martin Keller, whom we will meet below. You can also see a childhood picture of Ethel at the end of this page. The history itself appears to have been written in the late 1920s. In general, we have not altered what appears to be spelling variants or other apparent errors unless we are certain that they are mistakes. We are indebted to Larry Pardoe for this transcription:

We'll return to the rest of this story in a while, but first let's take a look at two genealogies created by Pat Dunn: one for Daniel Howell Fairchild and the other for his brother, Freeman Fairchild. The reader can use these two sources and checks on the story we started above. We will also insert comments, newspaper articles and other material from extraneous sources as we go.

Sullivan Review
Dushore, PA
December 1, 1904

John W. Martin died at the residence of his grandson Bayard T. Martin, on Cherry Street, Saturday evening, November 26, age 81 years, six months and 11 days.

John W. Martin was born near Muncy May 15, 1823, and removed with his parents to Cherry township in 1825. The country was a wilderness and his parents were very poor. His father died while he was little more than a baby, and the subject of this sketch, in youth, was deprived of even the meagre advantages that early day afforded in the way of education. He grew to manhood totally uneducated, and in 1848 was married to Caroline Fairchild. After his marriage, the desire for something better asserted itself, and he set about to laboriously educate himself, in which endeavor he was ably seconded by his wife. He succeeded to such an extent that he was soon employed as teacher in the public schools, and in 1863 was elected superintendent of public schools for Sullivan county, a position which he held continuously for twelve years, being succeeded by E. A. Strong in 1875. To Mr. and Mrs. Martin were born three children, all boys; and two of these died in infancy. One, J. Newton Martin, grew to manhood and was almost idolized by his proud parents, who discerned inthe son more tha the genius and intellect of the father. J. Newton Martin married Miss Emma Sylvara,and to them were born two sons, Bayard T., and Linta. J. Newton Martin died January 2, 1884. His widow and two children at once found a home with the grandfather, and the two boys became in turn the idols of the fond grandparents. Financial reverses had, in the evening of life, swept away the savings of years, and the struggles of youth were renewed in old age, and in April, 1898, death of his aged wife left him entirely alone. Undismmayed he again faced the world and engaged in the occupation of his youth--teaching, and for some time enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest teacher actively engaged, in Pennsylvania. It was not until last spring that he finally sought a home with his grandson, Bayard T. Martin, in this borough. During the summer, while driving, he met with an accident which dislocated his shoulder, but with the grit of a younger man threw off the shock and again engaged in the ordinary occupations of life. About four weeks ago, he took to his bed, never to rise again, and on the day above noted, passed peacefully away. His was a personality seldom seen. A giant in intellect and stature, he towered head and shoulders above the world around him, and was probably one of the best known men in the county, both to the present and past generation.

The funeral services were held at the Lutheran church on Wednesday, November 30, with interment at Cadwallader cemetery. The pupils of the public schools contributed a beautiful floral pillow and attended the funeral services in a body.

Sullivan Herald
Dushore, PA
November 30, 1904

John W. Martin, an aged and highly respected citizen of this place, died at the home of his grandson, Bayard T. Martin, Saturday afternoon after a short illness. Mr. Martin was born in Lycoming county May 15, 1823, and came to Cherry township with his parents when about two years of age. He married Caroline Fairchild, who moved to Dushore in 1819 and to them was born one son, J. Newton Martin, who died twenty years ago. Mr. Martin taught school during a large portion of his life and in 1863 was elected as superintendent of schools of Sullivan County, which position he held until 1875. When elected superintendent the school system of the county, and of the state for that matter, were in very poor condition, and to Mr. Martin is due a great deal of the credit for our present school system. As a teacher he was thorough and painstaking and a large number of our readers retain recollections of days spent in the schoolroom with him. He is survived by two grandsons, Bayard T. of this place and L. V. of Chicago. Funeral services were held this (Wednesday) morning with interment in the Cadwalder [sic] cemetery.

Notes for KATE FAIRCHILD:

Obituary

Died:

Fairchild- In Dushore, March 16, 1885 at the house of her father, Hon. D.H. Fairchild, Miss Kate W. Fairchild. Deceased was well known to most of our readers, and her many virtues and exceptional abilities need no enumeration here. Her life was pure and spotless, and those with whom she was brought in daily contact felt that her society incited to higher and nobler actions. Had her health and life been spared, and strength given her to mingle more with the world we feel assured that hers would have been no menial position. But the Lord's ways are not our ways, and poor Kate has been called to a higher and brighter existence in realms beyond the skies. "Thy will be done".

 "We watched her breathing through the night,

     her breathing soft and low

As in her breast the wave of life

     Kept heaving to and fro.

 "So silently we seemed to speak

     so slowly moved about

As we had lent her half our powers

     to eke her living out.

"Our very hopes belied our fears

     our fears our hopes belied

We thought her dying when she slept

     and sleeping when she died.

"For when the morn came, dim and sad

     and chill with early showers

Her quiet eye-lids closed; she had

     another morn than ours"

                            F. N.

Dushore, PA
January 10, 1884

About two weeks ago, J. Newton MARTIN and family, came to this place, to visit Mrs. MARTIN’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. M. SYLVARA, preparatory to going west. On Saturday evening, Dec. 29th, their youngest child, a boy aged about 2 years, grew suddenly ill and died during the night. The funeral was held on Tuesday evening, Dec. 31st. Mr. MARTIN was taken seriously ill and a physician summoned, who pronounced the disease diphtheria in the worse form. And he died on Wednesday evening, Jan. 1st, only forty-eight hours after being ill. This second sudden death was almost more than the grief-stricken wife and mother could bear, and for several days she was seriously ill owing to the severe strain. She is much better now.

The body was embalmed at once, and Mr. MARTIN’s parents, who reside at Pawnee Rock, Kansas, were summoned. They started immediately for this place, reaching here on Monday. Funeral services were held on Tuesday. He was buried according to the rules and with honors of the Masonic fraternity, he being a member of the Dushore Lodge.

Marriage: Newell-Fairchild

At the residence of the bride's father, Judge Fairchild in Dushore, Dec. 21 1882, by Rev. R. S. Wagner, Mr. Fred Newell of Towanda and Miss Sallie B. Fairchild.

 

Towanda Journal

On Thursday of this week, at the bride's home, Mr. Fred Newell, a compositor in the Journal office, united his fate with that of Miss Sallie Fairchild of Dushore. Boys of the office say they knew Newell enough that something or another was on his mind and mistrusted that a Fairchild had to do with it. Their conjectures were correct, it seems; and with one mind they cordially wish for the twain the fullest measure of wedded bliss.

 

Dushore Review

Mr. Fred Newell, formerly of this place, and Miss Sallie Fairchild of this place were married at the residence of the bride's father, Judge Fairchild on Thursday evening , Dec. 21. Mr. and Mrs. Newell have hosts of friends in this place who unite with us in wishing them happiness and prosperity.

 

Canton Sentinel

Last Saturday evening at the Hon. D. Fairchild's, Miss Sallie Fairchild was married to Mr. Fred Newell, of Canton by Rev. Mr. Wagner. The only guests invited were the Hon. P. R. Ackley, Dr. Waddell, Samuel Cole, Professor Osborne, Mr. Minard, Misses Amanda Zaner and Hulda Connors, besides the Rev. and Mrs. Wagner. All left substantial tokens of their friendship and good wishes.

Notes for HATTIE BELLE NEWELL:

Birth announcement

 

Our typographical friend, Fred Newell, foreman of the Dushore Review and form only compositor in this office, has struck a "fat take" in composing room parlance, and will "lay off" for a time to celebrate his good luck. It's a girl; regulation weight for the feminine gender of 8 lbs and she did not like Joye "spring full-fledged from the brain of Minerva" she was ushered in bearing the euphonious name of Hattie Belle.

We hope the welcome little visitor may remain a guest for many years and become the belle of her circle.

Now let's return to the story with which we started this family history:

.....
DANIEL H. FAIRCHILD, son of Jonothan and Sarah Freeman Fairchild. We do not have the date of his birth nor to whom he was married. His one daughter Susan Fairchild married Henry Cook, her first husband and later married Jeremiah F. Williams. Mr. Williams was born in Schuykill county, Pa. in 1848. He was a blacksmith by trade. After his marriage, he moved to Sullivan county about 1857 and located on what is now known as the Solomon Bahr farm, near the "Horseshoe".

Stephen Fairchild, M.D., son of Jonothan and Sarah Howell Fairchild, was a graduate doctor.

Anna Fairchild, daughter of Jonothan and Sarah Howell Fairchild, married Stephen F. Headley. Mr. Headley became interested in land in Cherry township about the time the Berwick and Elmira Turnpike was being built. He later bought the mill property in Dushore and after the first mill was washed away by a flood, built a larger mill at the same place. A part of Dushore borough derives its name from him, being called "Headleyville". Although he spent some time in this vicinity, we do not think he ever made it his home. We have no record of his family.

Mary (Polly) Fairchild, a daughter of Jonothan and Sarah Howell Fairchild, married Stephen Minton. No other record is at hand.

Elizabeth Fairchild, daughter of Jonothan and Sarah Howell Fairchild, married _________ Garrigues. No other information is at hand.

CHARLOTTE FAIRCHILD, son of Stephen and Nancy Thomas Fairchild, born April 22, 1850. She was never married and still lives on the old homestead.
