He died on 07 Apr 1829 in Lovettsville, VA [1]. Burial in New Jerusalem Lutheran Cemetery, Lovettsville, VA [2]. Sponsors in Jacob & Barbara Hoffman. Fact 5 in Jacob & Barbara Hoffman. Notes for Jacob Joseph Wirtz Sr.: General Notes: The following information has been graciously provided by Jeanie Virts LaGrave. Jacob Virts, Sr., began the settlement at Elvan, contracting with master builder, Ben Lakin, for a two and one-half story house overlooking the South branch of Dutchman?s Creek. The creek, and the Germans who settled there were affectionately known as Dutchmen. The settlement was a mile and one-half west of Lovettsville (once called Thrasher?s store.) The house was built in 1810 and became know as the Stone House of the Dutchman. The Virts place remained the area?s only farm until 1866 when Silas D. Kalb built a two story stone house a mile and one-half west. A few years after the stone house was built, Jacob had a log cabin built for his farm help, a quarter mile south of his home place. By 1910 the cabin had collapsed. Jacob and his wife Elizabeth George lived on the farm and raised their family there, until his death in 1829 and according to Jacob?s will, their eldest child, Elizabeth ?Betsy? inherited the Stone House on the Dutchman. Betsy married David Conrad in 1816 and their daughter Jane Conrad was next in line to inherit the Stone House on the Dutchman. Jane married Charlie Johnson and she and her family lived on the farm for many years. During the Civil War, Matt Conrad (a cousin) fought off Union Soldiers who tried to confiscate the horses. The Johnsons had always had fine horses and had a race track where Curt Johnson trained them. Many of these fine animals were sold in the District of Columbia. Robert G. Johnson was one of the many Johnson children and the father of Freida, Esther and Columbia who live in the George House at George?s Mill. After the elder Johnson?s died, John Ebb George bought the Virts farm in 1908. The estate still remained in the Virts family, as John Ebb?s wife was Orra Virts, granddaughter of Jacob Virts Sr. After the death of John Ebb George the farm came into the hands of Samuel Henry George and his wife Cecelia McKimmey who lived on the place most of their lives. The farm was then left jointly to their three daughters, Edna George Albaugh, Margaret George Keena and Eliza George Myers. ?I was born in the Stone House on the Dutchman, and although I did not live here for many years, I have always thought of the Stone House as home. When I returned a few years ago, I began at once on a program of restoration and improvement which is still in progress. I am fortunate in have a good many old family furnishings for the house?, writes Eliza George Myers. During 1870?s and 1880;s George Anderson, a New Yorker and a school teacher walked two and one-half miles one way over the 800 foot climb over Short Hill to teach at Water?s School. Anderson had practiced walking in the Union Army. He settled by the Kalbs after the war and married Mary Ann Elizabeth Shores, raised by a Mrs. Brown at the Virts? cabin.   ------------------------------------------------------------------ Stone shows "Jacob Wirtz, d. 7 APR 1829, 60y, 10m, 12d.       Elizabeth George is the daughter of Johannes George Sr. and Elizabeth ?.

Johnson: General Notes: The Washingtonian, October 7, 1899   Mr. Johnson, on Friday morning last, left his home to take two horses to Washington, which he had sold, when he reached Hamilton the horses became restive and in attending to arrange the harness to correct the cause of the trouble, one of the horses kicked him in the groin, knocked him in an unconscious condition, and caused his death on the following Saturday evening. When injured he was taken to the residence of Mr. Robert Thomas, in Hamilton, and had the best medical attention and kindest care until he died. He was born and raised in this county, near Lovettsville, and was in his 69th year. We have know Mr. Johnson for over thirty years, have had many business transactions with him, and always found him kind and courteous and fair and just in his business relations with us, and we learn, from his community, that there was no home where hospitality and neighborly kindness were more liberally dispensed than from his, and that the poor of his neighborhood had in him one who sympathized with them in their wants and were helped by him whenever he could. He will be missed by such in his community. When a life is marked by such acts of charity and hospitality, it is pleasing to believe, that at the summing up, its guardian angel will "drop a tear blot from the record" whatever errors there may have been such as we all have. He was industrious farmer and a good citizen, and a kind and affectionate parent. His remains were buried on Sunday evening last, a large number attended his funeral and joined their grief at his death, with his family and relatives.       Charles W. Johnson and Jane E. Conard.

Mr. Derry had been under treatment in the local hospital for wounds about the face and body when he contracted pneumonia. Born 66 years ago on the farm where he spent his entire life, hew was well known to the community although seldom left his property that for many years was in a remote section of the neighborhood. Improved roads, however, in recent years had made his home more accessible to the outside world. The old farm in colonial days had served as a wagon stand on journeys West. Mr. Derry was unmarried and leaves no close relatives. Services were held from Salem Methodist Church on Monday and burial made in the churchyard nearby. The assault was made on the evening of November 8 when the boys are said to have gone to the Derry home and with a shovel handle and stones beat the man to a helpless condition. The two boys involved in the attack on Derry's life were but 12 and 18 years of age. Thompson, the older of the tow had been under State Walfare supervison some months ago. His case will go before the grand jury in December. Longerbeam has been placed on probation.
