In 1998, the pastor and several members of Cumminsville Baptist Church in Cincinnati generously shared what they had heard about the founder of their church. The Rev. Peter Fossett’s presence is still vivid a century after his death. His photograph is in the vestibule of the church building, in which the congregation moved because of construction of an interstate highway. The Rev. George Southerland, Martha Fletcher, and Edna and Lucius Roberts spoke of what they heard of Reverend Fossett’s generosity, his accomplishments, and the respect in which he was held across the whole city of Cincinnati.

Forrest Cutright was raised on a farm next door to the “Isaacs Place” on a ridge east of Chillicothe, Ohio.  He had memories of the last of the sons of Tucker and Ann-Elizabeth Isaacs to live on the farm.  From his father he heard of hunting expeditions and harvest meals shared with the Isaacs family, and of how Tucker Isaacs got people out of slavery.
