Eleazer Thrasher, presumably Melvin and Emily's son (b. September 23rd, 1869, South Worthington) and his wife, Emma Fox (b. June 20th, 1878 in Southwick) are mentioned by Rev. Moody as having married on September 26th, 2020 and likely acquired the home from Eleazer's parents. As of 1905 the farm consisted of 210 acres and the Thrashers kept ten cattle, seven pigs, and fifteen pigs. It had been owned by 'M. Thrasher, A. Thrasher, Lewis Smith and Gathelius Cowing.' According to Rev. Moody, 'The old house stood opposite, in the garden spot. The Sam Elder place was near the old barn. On the way to Huntington (Goss Hill was the main route between the two towns at one point) was the Jon Niles place, next to the Williams' ; Barnard Burton bought of James and Ruth Otis in 1783. Opposite was Solomon Burton, and below the cemetery was the Noah Ellis place.' Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev.
