"Esther, the youngest child, born 1842, also entered the profession of teaching and for a few years engaged in that work until the death of the parents. Then the care of the home and the farm claimed her attention. The place of her birth has always been her home." [Tomlinson Family Tree - Acc898, page 22]

PAGENT TO DEPICT EARLY HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY
Activities of Underground Railroad Are to be Shown
CAST MADE UP OF TOMLINSON FAMILY
Will Be Given on Tomlinson Homestead Near Westfield
A most unique pageant of ante-bellum days in Hamilton county will be staged Saturday evening at the home of Esther Tomlinson, a couple of miles north of Westfield and a half mile west of Chester church. It will be a story of John Rhodes, a slave and the underground railroad activities in Hamilton county during the middle of the forties. The scenes depicted in this pageant were arranged by

There will be a bi-annual reunion at the Esther Tomlinson home, Saturday

For the members of the family and friends who may happen in and the usual big dinner at the noon hour will ???? and the affair will be continued until
[Picture of Milton Tomlinson]
Evening when the occasion will be featured by the pageant, which will start at 7 o'clock.
The public is invited. No admission will be charged. The entire cast will be composed of relatives of the Tomlinson family; This will be unusual in view of the fact that the members of the pioneer Tomlinson family in this county were very prominent in underground railroad activities.
The story of John Rhodes is interesting and occurred in the western part of the county in 1844. Rhodes was originally a slave in Missouri; escaped from his master, worked for a while in Illinois and finally reached Hamilton county, locating in a log cabin southeast of Baker's Corner. After his master learned of his location, he, with several other slave owners came to Hamilton county for the purpose of claiming Rhodes as their property and taking him back with them. He refused to go and the people of his community stood behind him. The slave hunters came to Noblesville to file a case in court claiming their property and wanted Rhodes brought here, their principal object at that time being to get him out of the neighborhood where he seemed to have so many friends.
Rhodes, his wife and children were finally loaded into a wagon and during the ride they escaped, presumably being permitted to do so purposely, and hid in a hay stack on the farm of Robert Tomlinson. Later they sought refuge on the farm of Aaron Lindley.
Later, the slave owners filed a suit in the federal court at Indianapolis for the possession of Rhodes. The court held that Rhodes was a free man by virtue of having lived in Illinois, which was a free state, for the time required by law. This closed the incident and Rhodes and his family returned to Hamilton county and spent the remainder of their days here. AT the time he came to this part of the state he had only one child, but later there were three children in the family.
All of these incidents as nearly true to life as possible will be depicted in this pageant
The Esther Tomlinson homestead, on which this pageant will be given, was first owned, so far as the family history shows, by Robert Tomlinson, in 1837. It has been in the family ever since.
