Ch. of James W .- Mary H. (Rev. William C. Hagan, Va.) *
Joseph, the pioneer, exchanged his large estate on the Susquehanna for Continental scrip. This act proved his loy- alty to his country, but was doubtless the cause of much financial loss. In Pendleton he was a citizen of distinction and of public service. James, his son, made a prospecting tour into what was then the Northwest Territory, but re- turned and was a large and well-to-do landowner. He was a justice, a legislator, and in 1829, a member of the Constitu- tional Convention. Jacob F. was of unusual ability, and was characterized by integrity, thrift, decision of character, and firmness of purpose. As justice, legislator, and surveyor, he was in his day the best known citizen of the county, and
235
transacted more business for his neighbors than any other professional man. In 1860 he was worth about $15,000, and owned two well stocked farms. But the close of the war found him in severely straightened circumstances. Having invested in his capacity of fiduciary the money of a ward in Confederate scrip, the courts compelled him to make good the loss. He had a good common school education, and saw to it that his children did not lack for proper instruction. He sent his two sightless sons to an institution for the blind, and em- ployed a governess for the children at home.
The careers of the blind brothers, James W., and Howard H., afford interesting examples of success under very un- favorable conditions. Both were blind from their birth. The elder was taught at home to read from books in raised let- ters. At the age of 10 he was sent to the institution for the blind at Staunton, and remained there 7 years. His father had decided that he should be a teacher, and at 17 he began his career by teaching a successful summer school on the South Fork. He remained to the end a teacher of common schools, often supplementing the puplic term with a sub- scription term. From 1878 to 1894 he was an institute in- structor. He was painstaking and thorough in his methods, and at the time of his decease he was doubtless the senior public school teacher in West Virginia, excepting only A. B. Phipps of Mercer county.
Howard H. had the advantage of a more thorough prepara- tion. He studied at Staunton till 1861, and the school then closing, he studied with his brother and at New Market. In 1865 he joined his brother in conducting a classical school at Franklin. After the war he resumed his studies at Staun- ton, and in 1867 entered regularly upon an educational career. In 1869 he canvassed West Virginia in behalf of a state school for the blind, speaking often from the platform, and with so much success that his application to the Legislature in 1870 received favorable consideration. The institution at Romney is the result of his efforts, and as a teacher he has now been identified with it almost 40 years. Prof. Johnson is a man of broad scholarship. In 1877 he received the degree of Master of Arts from the Polytechnic Institute of New Market. He has five children : Leila B., William T., Howard H., and by last marriage, Lucie N., and George N.

The village of Brandywine stands on a part of the Keister homestead. Frederick, Jr., was a famous hunter.
