    About this ebook

    In 1866, Judy Candler was nineteen and had lived in Ohio attending school since the death of her mother in 1857. Her mother’s family fled Virginia in 1840 due to the conflict between their Quaker beliefs and slavery. Her mother returned to Virginia to marry and bore five children before her death. It was time for Judy to return home to help her father and surviving siblings in the years after the Civil War. Classmates and family in Ohio filled a thin volume with keepsake verses written with the mindset of pacifists during war and in the cadence of well-educated Quaker Seminary students. These are their words.

      Quaker Runes - Mary Jane Russell

      Judith Douglas Candler circa 1866

      m. 03 Jan 1882 (husband, William Harris Russell)

      Children: William Buford, Robert Achilles

      d. 01 May 1917, Campbell County, VA (Russell Family Cemetery)

      According to the 1860 Census, my great-grandmother, Judith Douglas Candler, lived in Short Creek, Harrison County, Ohio with her uncle and aunt, Micajah and Edna Johnson, attending school. School was District School #10 followed by the Mount Pleasant Friends Boarding School also known as Quaker Seminary.

      Digging deeper for the reason JDC was in Ohio rather than our family’s native Virginia, I found a notation in The Descendants of William and John Johnson, Colonial Friends of Virginia by Lorand V. Johnson, MD. It explained that Micajah Johnson moved from Virginia to Harrison County, Ohio in 1831 and was a teacher and surveyor and that his home was a station of the Underground Railway. In the margin, my great uncle, Robert A. Russell, noted "My mother (JDC) was there during the Civil
