“Night had thrown its sable mantle over the earth, but behold! I was actually becoming poetic; and knowing that you have a mortal antipathy to fustian of every kind, I will dismount the muses’ winged horse. On “sober second thought,” I acknowledged it must seem odd to you to see a “Hoosier” riding Pegasus. “Let that alone, dear brother, (Rev Martin is writing his brother Jacob Hauser — the first “Hoosier” settler to Columbus, IN)” me thinks I hear you say, “and trot along on your steady farm horse, accustomed to plough.” Well then, I have done with “night’s sable mantle.” It was getting dark, when we reached the house of Br Charles Walk, who received us with open arms, and under whose hospitable roof we passed the night. … Next morning we called on all the members of the church residing in the vicinity, and took a view of the newly erected meeting house, which we had come to set apart for the worship of the Tribute of God. I verily believe, dear brother, if I may judge from the language of your letters, that you imagine this new village to be already in existence. You are mistaken if you do. It is not yet built, and has only be developed on paper. In this respect, at least, it is like our Godly “city of magnificent distances, which for now “only looks so well on paper.” {Rev Matin Hauser memoirs owned by Hauser-Hooser-Hoosier-Houser Family Association (H4FA))

Unfortunately H-A-U-S-E-R does not “look so well on paper” because all the “ENGLISH” in Indiana wants to call Rev Martin Hauser — a HOWZER. In Hope, IN they have built a school to his honor but as if to insult all of his remaining family they call the school HOWZER HIGH and refuse to acknowledge his actual name — some honor.

I can only surmise that we the modern Hauser / Hooser / Hoosier family are still paying for our sins of religious disruption in Wachovia (Old Salem, NC) some 220 years ago.

Neologiser suggests the habitual act of neologising, whereas neologist might carry connotations of adopting some kind of ideological position, however innocuous!
