From the Archbold Buckeye on Aug. 27, 1907: �The German we speak in Archbold is not German; neither is the French we speak in Archbold truly French. The German is a dialect that is no more like the written German language than it is like Latin. In Archbold we have a mixture of German dialects, Alsace, Rhineish, Luxenbourgish, Pennsylvania Dutch Posen, Blat-Deutsche, both mountain and provincial Swiss, Austrian, and Archbold Deutsche. In many families the father speaks one dialect, the mother another, and the children get so mixed up they stick to English and let it go at that. Some of the businessmen in Archbold speak all the dialects and switch from one to another unconsciously. Sometimes one hears a conversation in all the dialects.�
From "The County of Fulton" Thomas Mikesell, editor published in 1905. When Peter Flory was an infant his parents immigrated to America. in 1832, and ten years later they came to Fulton county, Ohio, becoming pioneers of German township, within whose borders the thriving little city of Archbold is situated. Joseph Flory, father of Peter, died soon after the family took up their abode in Fulton county, and of his four sons, Peter is the only one now living. The latter became one of the well-to-do farmers of German township, and he and his wife now reside in Archbold, enjoying the benefices of their former years of earnest toil and endeavor.
