He died in 1850 at the age of 77 in Dane County, Wisconsin. Dr. Miller Blachly II apparently practiced medicine in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. He moved to Wethersfield, Ohio about 1803. He was one of the founders of the Wethersfield Presbyterian Church in 1838 and of the local temperance society, and was a school director along with the father of President McKinley. Dr. and Mrs Blachly founded a school which was attended by non-resident pupils. The Blachlys moved to Dane County, Wisconson in 1846 with "The Ohio Settlement." The first town meeting was organized in 1848. It was said of Dr. Blachly, "Miller Blachly was a very good man, but positive, and sometimes even obstinate in adhering to his opinions." Charles Perkins Blachly recalls of his grandfather: "Grandfather Miller Blachly and his friend, Grandpappy Luse, had adjoining farms, so they built a house in common. A family lived at each end of the house, but for convenience thay cut a doorway between the two living rooms so that at the noon hour each man would lie on the floor in his own room with the door open, and discuss religion and politics, mostly the former, grandfather being a Presbyterian and grandpappy a Campbellite. They would become very much excited at times, so that it required the presence of both wives to quiet them. The two men worked together in much of the farm work. On one occasion they were mowing in one of the meadows, Grandpappy Luse being in the lead, Grandfather Blachly following, when Grandpappy Luse ran into a Bumble-bee's nest and dropped his scythe and ran. Whereupon, Grandfather Blachly quoted scripture, saying, `The wicked flee when no man pursueth,' and kept on mowing. But on reaching the vicinity of the bumble-bees, several of them stung him and Grandpappy Luse came back with `But the wicked go on, and are punished.' They were very religious, belonged to the old school, Grandfather being an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church. They were very much opposed to all secret societies, and I might add that all of Miller's sons were members of secret societies, except my father (Eben Blachly), as far as I know. They were anti-tobacco, anti-liquor, and anti-slavery. Grandfather Miller Blachly operated one station of the `Underground Railroad' for running negro slaves from Kentucky to Canada."

Sarah Blachly, 21, of Mattapoisett is a young woman who moves to a different drummer. Her decision to "go sailing" instead of "to college" led to the fascinating career she has today as a wooden boat builder in Mystic Seaport, Conn. Though Sarah was an honor student who flew through Old Rochester Regional High School, skipping her senior year and graduating early, she couldn't bring herself to apply to college. She had all the papers but, "It just didn't feel right -- the timing wasn't right," she says. So Sarah took to the sea instead, as a deckhand aboard the H.M.S. Rose, a 179-foot square rigger and the largest operational wooden sailing ship in the world. She was the only female in a 19-person professional crew and she steered, stood watch, handled the sails and did repairs. The H.M.S. Rose is a sailing training boat and ploughs the Great Lakes and the Canadian Maritimes. Sarah, a vibrant young woman, sees mom and dad as her two greatest influences. Sarah's mom, Andree Howard, had home schooled Sarah (and Abby, Ben and Emily) until she reached the seventh grade. "It gave me a large picture of the world, and a regular classroom never felt quite right." The late Dan Blachly was a naval architect and owner of a Mattapoisett boatyard. "I spent my winters hanging out in boatyards with my dad," Sarah says. After two summers aboard the Rose, Sarah was accepted at the "Apprenticeshop" in Rockland, Maine, where she served a two-year traditional apprenticeship in wooden boat building. (It wasn't really this easy -- she sent out about 40 letters of inquiry and heard from two.) All would-be apprentices had to serve as volunteers first to see if this is what they really wanted. "I loved it, I loved the work, the people I was working with." Building a sense of community was as important as building boats at Apprenticeshop. Though Sarah wanted to stay in Maine and work as a boat builder, every job she applied for went to a man, and she admits she was "very discouraged." But at the same time, a magnificent opportunity opened up elsewhere. "I heard they were building a replica of the Amistad in Mystic, a 120-foot schooner, and I applied." The Amistad said YES and Sarah became a shipwright, the only female on the job. "I had never worked with heavy timber before but the skills required were the same," she says. Last month, 10,000 people arrived in Mystic to celebrate the launching of the Amistad. Sarah is now building boats in the historical village in Mystic Seaport. Though the other shops serve as historical interpreters, "the boatbuilding shop is real," she says, smiling. Sarah also teaches an adult-teen class (occasionally mother and son, father and daughter), in which they build a boat together. In the fall she looks forward to teaching a traditional boat building class for women. While continuing as a boat builder at Mystic Seaport, Sarah will soon begin a five-year program leading to a master's degree in education, but her idea of education doesn't fit the standard mold. Sarah has big dreams. Her goal is to use wooden boat building as a tool for the learning of history, literature, writing, art, biology and other arts and sciences -- in an alternative classroom setting. Is boat building a good career path for women? "It's very challenging work, and it's not easy to be accepted, but if you're dedicated, it's just so much fun," she says, her eyes full of stars. "Wooden boat building is an art more than a trade or skill. When you do it right, it's like sculpture." Parents: Dan Bradley Blachly and Andree C. Howard. Spouse: Aaron Brassard.
