His home was on Egg Nog Hill, where he lived until called away by the last summons. John Means, an old wagoner, was killed by an accident on the road near Wheeling. John Munce, of Washington, Pennsylvania, who became rich through the oil development in the vicinity of that place, is an old wagoner. He is still living. John Olwine was an old wagoner, and by his union with the Widow Metzgar became a tavern keeper. He died at Chalk Hill a few years ago. John Neff, an old wagoner, subsequently became a member of the Maryland Legislature, and played the role of statesmanship as gracefully as he drove a six-horse team on the old pike. Abner and David Peirt, brothers, were natives of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania--steady-going straightforward, honest "Pennsylvania Dutch," and wagoners on the road with teams of the genuine Conestoga strain.

Arthur Wallace, an old wagoner devoted to the road, and esteemed for many good qualities of head and heart, subsequently became a tavern keeper. He was the father-in-law of Peter Frasher, the adamantine Democrat of 1844, and up to the date of his death, in 1893. Charles Wallace, a brother of Arthur, and an old wagoner, was killed by an accident on Laurel Hill many years ago.

His son, John, present postmaster at Confluence, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, was also a wagoner. Samuel Trauger, an old wagoner, fell from his lazy board while descending Laurel Hill, and was killed, the hind wheel of his wagon running over him. John Curtis, who drove for William King, was accounted one of the best drivers on the road. His companions called him a "strong driver," meaning that he was skillful and careful. He followed the tide of emigration, and became a stage driver west of the Ohio river. James and Benjamin Paul, sons of Major William Paul, were old wagoners. Joseph Doak, of Washington county, Pennsylvania, was an old wagoner, subsequently a tavern keeper, and later a superintendent of the road.
