Bedford/Blair County

By Elizabeth CoyleGazette Associate EditorIMLERTOWN— It’s the

burial ground of the womanknown as Indian Eve. One ofits chief neighborhoods wasthe location of an iron mine,and Dutch Corner once usedto be dissected by railroadtracks.

The Dutch Corner HistoryGroup has been highlightingthe rich heritage of this most-ly farming community sinceit formed in 2009, but for itswork to restore cemeteriesand research the old school-houses, the group has beennamed Historians of the Year.

“Surprised and shocked,”co-president Carl Sellers saidof his reaction.

“I think it’s pretty cool,” co-president Frank Antonsonadded. “I think they’redeserving.”

The Bedford County His-torical Society will honor thegroup at the society’s annualbanquet March 29.

The Dutch Corner groupwas born out of anothergroup that wanted to gainhistoric designation for thearea to ward off wind turbinedevelopment.

Sellers said the historicgroup wanted to stay awayfrom politics and highlightthe many historic features ofthe area which the group con-siders to be about sevensquare miles of BedfordTownship.

Antonson said the ruralarea drew him back from theupper echelons of academia.A Harvard graduate, hedecided to return to BedfordTownship, become a teacherand settle at the farm hisgrandfather bought in the1940s.

The residents of Dutch Cor-ner are unique, he said.“There’s always been a differ-ence between Dutch Cornerand the town of Bedford.”The people who live in DutchCorner “have an identity oftheir own,” Antonson said.

Predominantly, the settlersweren’t Dutch, they wereGerman, Antonson said. Oneof the first settlers wasGeorge Michael Imler Jr.,born in Germany in 1705,according to the group’s infor-mation. Church records werewritten in German throughthe 1800s, Antonson noted.

The group is developing atour of the area that willhighlight the area’s 14 school-houses and quarries, or theirlocations, as well as locationsof the railroad, cemeteries,the Triplett Mill and otherpoints of interest. It also hasa website.

Sellers said the photo bookof the area’s school housestook about 200 hours of work.The organization originallywas to sell 50 copies but hadto reprint the volume whichnow has sold 200 copies andcounting.

Nancy Hinson, member ofthe group, said her familytree has roots in the areathat stem back to the 1700s.

Preservation is importantto her, she said, “because myhistory is in Dutch Corner.”—Continued on Page 7

—Continued from Page 1It’s essential for the area’s

historians to preserve thenarrative, said Guy Calhoun,Bedford County HistoricalSociety board vice presidentand member of the committeethat selected the Historiansof the Year.

The Dutch Corner group,through the variety of waysmembers are sustaining thearea’s story, will allow subse-quent generations to knowabout the iron mine, researchtheir ancestors and celebratethe heritage of the area.

“The Dutch Corner groupstuck out because they didsuch a variety of things,” Cal-houn said. The group not onlyrestored 14 cemeteries butalso maintains several ofthem. “Thinking of the laborand hours it takes, that saysa lot about them,” Calhounsaid.

The group produced a mapfor the tour and also put upsigns, marking the sites onthe tour, Calhoun noted.“They’ve done so much. Idon’t think they’re that largea group,” Calhoun said.

The three-member commit-tee unanimously chose theDutch Corner group but Cal-

houn said he would haveawarded all the nominees, if

possible.“I think it’s just important

for groups and individuals topreserve the history of Bed-ford County. It’s slowly slip-ping away and if we don’tpreserve it, our grandchil-dren and great-grandchildrenare not going to know whythe county is what it istoday.”
