i have decided that my new hobby is going to be going to cemeteries and taking pictures of famous dead people.
so the other day i was suppose to pick my sister up from the hotel to tak her to school in the morning. when i got there, she was not there, i waited 30 minutes and just left. later that day, i guess my sister told my godmother that she had came to the house and hung out in the backyard with the dogs. later when i got home, my godmother was there and she asked me why there was dirt in the laundry room (i had no idea). when i went upstairs, there was a note on the mirror that my sister had wrote. so she had to have come over. my sister came over last week to pick stuff to keep because we were having a yard sale, so we figured that she swiped a key then. my godmother went to the hotel and demanded the key back from her, my sister said she didn’t know where it was. my godmother said that she wanted the key back by the next day.
the next day my sister gave back the key and my godmother had the locksmiths come and change the locks on the house. my godmother asked if i had broke somthing because there was glass in the trash can (again i had no idea). when my godmother took the dogs for a walk she noticed that the ladder in the backyard was out of place. this led her to investigate a little bit and she found that the laundry room window had been broken. which means that she busted the window, cleaned up the mess, wrote on the mirror and then took a key to lock the door on the way out. that makes no sense. my sister has truly lost it.

This is the greatest thing ever, i have not stopped playing it. Lego Indiana Jones comes out in June and Lego Batman comes out in September. I am excited!!!!
So i have been doing some research on my family history and i am 90% certain that my grandmother’s (my father’s mother) adopted father is related to John Treber. John treber fought in the Revolutionary War and built the the Treber Inn, which is a historical landmark in Ohio. He would be my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.

This is a picture of Jacob Treber (son of John) who fought in the War of 1812. I believe he is my great, great, great, great, great, great uncle.

The following is a description of the home built in 1798 by John Treber which became known as the Traveler’s Rest, or later as the Old Treber Inn:
“…It stands on the left bank of Lick Fork, fronting the Old Limestone road, about five miles to the northeast of West Union [Ohio]. The main building is constructed of hewed logs weatherboarded, while the large kitchen and dining room to the rear is of stone quarried in the immediate vicinity. With the exception of Bradford’s in West Union, this is the most celebrated of the ‘old inns’ yet standing. Soon after the erection of this building, there was swung from a huge post near the highway, the inviting sign - ‘Traveler’s Entertainment’ - which swayed to and fro at the caprice of the winds for more than half a century.
‘This old inn sheltered many distinguished guests in the days of the old stage line from Maysville to Wheeling. Here General Jackson and party warmed and refreshed themselves when he was on his way to be inaugerated President after his election in 1828. Here Thomas H. Benton, Henry Clay and scores of prominent characters* from the southwest have sipped and praised ‘Mother Treber’s (speaking of the wife of Jacob Treber, son of John) most excellent coffee’ while eating the ‘finest biscuits ever baked.’
…’A few rods to the southeast of this old inn, at the roadside, stands an elm tree near which it is said Asahel Edgington was killed by the Indians in 1793…’
…’This house being located on Zane’s Trace, the only thorougfare between Wheeling, Va [now WV], and Limestone, Ky., and being large and modious for that day, many travelers found food and shelter there, the place became known as ‘Traveler’s Rest.’…sojourners and guests at the noted place were always sure to find the best entertainment for man and beast the country afforded. The principal meats were venison and turkey.”
* According to a description of the inn found on the backside of the 1909 post card pictured here, General Santa Ana of Mexico was another of the important guests.
