We generally show up late for our weekly food-pantry shift, my daughter and I, pulling our masks on as we duck into the church basement just ahead of the 6 p.m. open for guests. I start by telling you this because I don’t want you to think we are so virtuous for doing this volunteer work; I’m surprised I have kept it going for more than a year now, and I’m certain it’s because I get more out of it than I give. 

A look back at the Hartong family and the Dowie religious sect

A Stark County farmer held firmly to his religious beliefs a century ago, even though a handful of his children had died of illnesses for which he failed to seek medical attention. Although five of his 18 children have died, reported The Sunday Repository on April 3, 1921, Adam Hartong, a farmer living three miles west of North Canton, still remains a staunch follower of the Dowie religious sect, which according to Hartong, brands medicine as the work of the devil, fit only for beasts. The newspaper reported that public attention has been focused on Hartong and Coroner T.C. McQuate had been called in to investigate after three of the children in Hartong s family died within a week.
