!** PREFACE

^ ■ It is not claimed that within the following pages
- '*of this little work will be found a voluminous history.
■ . in the sense that exhaustive descriptions of things
and events have been attempted. The Book of
Marietta is intended for easy and ready reference.
It is an encyclopaedia of historical facts and data;
a compilation of . information of many sorts, infor-
mation both practical and useful, pertaining to the
city nf Marietta. This information, while tersely
told, and free of superfluous words, does not, how-
ever, lose its value by its brevity; but rather makes
the telling more interesting and of a greater
worth. ; ..

The dates giv^n herein have been igathered from
the most reliable- authorities. Many important oc-
currences, with dates, that have in all probability
been long since forgotten and of wtich there has
heretofore been no published record, will be fouTid
within these pages. In fact this work in the years
to come will be invaluable to the seeker after accur-
ate information about the first city of the Northwest
Territory.

A very valuable feature, and one that will appeal
to the busy man or woman, is the arrangement of
the great amount of information which is here gath
ered and which is presented in the most accessible
and convenient form for ready reference. The mat-
ter has been divided and sub-divided and a com-
prehensive index makes it a simple and easy task to
turn directly to any topic desired.

As a souvenir of the city The Book of Marietta
cannot be surpassed, containing as it does a guide
to every historical point of interest, with brief but
comprehensive historical notes. The illustrations

also add to the value of the book and its size makes
it as convenient for mailing as a picture post card.

The various tables giving the distance by river
or railroad routes, together with the fare, to points
within a Avide radius of the city -dil be found very
useful and handy. The postal information will also
be found valuable.

The Gazetteer of the Industrial, Commercial and
Business interests of Marietta which forms a most
important part of the book, contains a vast amount
of carefully printed information. It is so com-

plete and comprehensive that it has no equal in any
directory heretofore published for the city of Ma-
rietta.

The illustrations in this book are printed from
special half tone plates made from photos taken by
Mr. H. P. Fischer, of this city. The photograph of
"City Paik and the Boat House" is copyrighted by

Washington county, situated in the Southeastern
extitiuity of the State of Ohio, is bounded on the
north by Morgan, Noble and Monroe counties; on
the east by Monroe county and the Ohio River,
which forms the dividing line between Ohio and
the State of West Virginia; on tne south "by West
Viiginia, the Ohio River continuing to form the
line between the two states; on the west by Athena
and Morgan counties. The land surface of Wash-
ington cov.nty is 62 7 square miles. Its population
in 1890 is given as 42,380; in 1900: 48,245.

Washington county was originally created in July,
1788, and in the following month the village of
Maiietta, which at th:it time embraced what is now
Maiietta Township, was nuide the county seat. Tho
county is divided into twenty-two townships, viz:
Adams. Aurelius, Eailow, Belpie, Decatur, Dunham,
Fairfield, Fearing, Grandview, Independence, Law-
lence, Libeity, Ludlow, Marietta, Muskingum, New-
poit, Palmer, Salem, Warren, Waterford, Water-
town and Wesley townships.

The City of Maiietta is the oldest city in the
state of Ohio, being the first settlement under the
Government of the United States in the great North-
wesl Territory which now comprises the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Resting on gently sloping hills, at the meeting place
of the wateis of the Muskingum witli that or tne
gieat Ohio river, it occupies an ideal site for a city,
and vv'ith its wide, well kept streets, can justly lay
claim to the titles "Beautiful Marietta" and "The
Lady of the Rivers." It is situated ahout midway
between the eastern and western boundary and upon
the southern line, of Washington county. The

census of 1890 gave Marietta a population of 8,273
and the twelfth census gives it 13,348, while it is
estimated that today (1906), it has a population of
over 17,000. It is a modern, progressive city, with
its flouiishing iudustiies, its handsome business
blocks, fine residences, magnificent churches, the best
schools in the country and the greatest college in the
state. With all these advantages, and many others,
there is every promise for a great future for Ma-
rietta. The city was incorporated December 2nd,
1800.

EARLY HISTORY.

Of the first inhabitants of the lands of that vast
territory lying Northwest of the Ohio river but little
is known, aside from that which can be deduced
from the study of the curious earthworks or mounds,

which were found in various portions of Ohio, and
supposed to be the works of a semi-civilized people
Avho have been given the name of the Mound Build-
ers. As far as known the next people to occupy
this territory were the North American Indians, who
were discovered here by the first white settlers.
Probably the first white man to set foot in what is
now Ohio was the French explorer, La Sallee. The
next record of the visit of cilivized man is found
in the old leaden plate which was unearthed by
some boys, M-hile in swimming at the mouth of the
Muskingum river in the summer of 1799. This
plate contained the date Aug. 16, 1749, and was
buried where it had been found by Celeron de Bien-
ville, the French explorer. The plate is now in the
possession of the Massachusetts Society at Worces-
ter, Massachusetts. It is recorded also that as early
as 1761 several white settlers arrived in Tuscara-
was county. These were the Moravian Mission-
aries, sent out by their society to teach the Chris-
tian religion to the Indians. The efforts of these
christian men and women resulted in three Indian
villages being established along the river Tuscara-
Avas, and every student of history is familiar with
the story of the massacre at Gnadenhutten of ninety
Moravian Indian converts, by Col. Williamsons'
corp of volunteer militia, on March 2nd, 1782.

The story of the early history of Marietta could
it be written in detail just as it occurred would
prove more fascinating than any work of fiction.
Picture to yourself that party of sturdy pioneers of
the Ohio Land Company drifting along with the
current of the great and strange river, with its
banks lined with a wilderness of trees and foliage,
with not a sign of life. What must have been the
ambitions, the hopes and the fears of those men,
who had left behind them their homes and all th-j
comforts of civilization that even at that time were
to be had in New England, for the uncertainties that
offered in this great western wilderness inhabited
by savages and wild beasts 'i

The landing of those brave and adventurous spirits
on the present site of Marietta occurred about noon
on April 7th, ...1 78,8, and from that moment dates
the history of the city of Marietta. The names of
those pioneers, who were also the first white set
tiers of the Northwest territory, are here given:
-- General Rufus Putnam, superintendent of the col-
ony. Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, Colonel Return J.
Meigs, Major Anselm Tupper, and John Mathews,
surveyors. Major Haffield White, steward and

quaitermaster — Capt. Jonathan Devol — Capt. Josiah
Monro — ^Capt. Daniel Davis — Capt. Peregrine Foster
— Capt. Jethro Putnam — Capt. William Gray — Cajjt.
Ezekiel Cooper — Phineas Coburn — David Wallis —
Gilbert Devol, Jr. — Jonas Davts — Hezekiah Flint —
Hezekiah Flint, Jr. — Josiah Whitridge — Benjamin
Giiswold — Theophilus Learned — William Miller —

Josiah "White — Henry Maxon — Wm. Moulton — Ed-
mund Moulton — Benjamin Shaw — Jervis Cutler —
Samuel Gushing — Daniel Bushnell — Ebenezer Corey
— Oliver Dodge — Isaac Dodge — Jabez Barlow — Al-
len Putnam — Joseph Wells — Israel Danton — Samuel
Telshaw — Amos Porter, Jr. — John Gardener — Elizur
Kiitland — Joseph Lincoln — Earl Sproat — Allen De-
vol — -Wm. Mason — Simeon Martin — Paletiah White.

The work of settlement was commenced at once
and rapidly rough cabins were erected. The

first vi'oik of the surveyors was begun on the 9th —
two days after the landing, while ine balance of the
men started the work of clearing the land. Every-
thing seemed to progress smoothly and there was
apparently a feeling of contentment among the set-
tlers. General Putnam, however, was uneasy over
the safety of the colony in case of Indian upris-
ings and this resulted in the erection of Campus
Martins, which was located about three-quarters of
a mile from the settlement at the Point, where most
of the houses were built, and was reached by a
road cut through the woods along the Muskingum
river. (This road is now Front street.) The

site of this stockade will be better understood by
giving its boundaries as St. Clair street on the
North, Second street on the East; Washington
street on the south and Front srreei on the West
side — the river front. It compiised a continuous
line of dwellings two stories high which formed the
sides. These dwellings were constructed of tim-

bers four inches thick. At the corners were block
houses, built a trifle higher and projecting out be-
yond the sides of the stockade about six feet. When
completed, which was not until 17 91, it formed an
almost impregnable defense against attack, although
at no time during all the Indian troubles was an
assault made upon it.

After the arrival of the first pioneers many follow-
ers found their way to the new settlement. In
May of the sa-'ue year (l':88), ai'rived Gen. Samuel
Plolden Parsons, Capt. William Dana, Ebenezer Bat-
telle. Major Jonathan Haskell, Colonel Israel .Put-
nam, Aaron Waldo Putnam, Major Robert' Brad-
ford. Jonathan Stone, Major Winthrop Sargent, Col-
onel ^Villiam Stacey and Colonel John May (Col.
May was one of the agents of the Ohio Land Com-
pany.) The following month there were more ar-
rivals at the Point, among them being Honorable
James M. Yarnum, judge of the territory, Major
Dean Tylor, tf<iffin Greene, Charles Gi'eene, Colonel
Joseph Thompson, Dr. Jabez True and Paul Fearing.
In this same paity were James Owen and wife.
The next families to arrive were those of General
Benjamin Tupper, Colonel Icabod Nye (son-in-law
of Gen. Tupper), Major Nanthaniel Gushing, Major
Nathan Goodale, Major Asa Coburn, Sr., and An-
drew Webster. These came on August 19th, 178S.
(Set? Memorial Stones under "Points of Interest.")

On July 9th, 1788, Governor Arthur St. Clair, the
first governor of the Noithwest territory, arrived at
Maiietta, having been commissioned by Congress Oct.
16, 1787. At the time of his appointment St. Clair
had been president of Congress. He had seen ac-
tive service in the French and Indian Wars and ha'i
been a general in the Revolutionaiy aimy. For a
time after his arrival at Marietta the governor
made his headquarters at Fort Harmar across the
Muskingum river. It was not until July 17th,

1788, that the territorial government vi^as formally
set in motion. On the 26th day of the same
month a proclamation w^as issued creating Wash-
ington County, the first county in Ohio.

The first meeting of the Ohio Land Company was
held at Marietta on July 2nd, 1788, but was con-
tinued by adjournment until August 14th. On the
former date the city at the "Point" was named
Maiietta. Up to that time it had been called Adft'.-
phia. The name Marietta was compounded from
the name of Marie Antoniette. The last meeting
of the comijany was held at Maiietta on November
23rd, 17 95, and the directors and agents continued
in session until January 29th, 1796, when the final
paitition of lands were made.

THE INDIAN WARFARE.

During the years, from 1789 to 1795 the settlers
at Marietta passed through some of the most trying
times of their lives — the period of Indian hostility
and waifare. Among the Indian tribes mentioned
in the annals of those days are the Wyandots, Dela-
wares, Miamis, Ottawas, Chippewas, Pottowtoamies,
and the Sacs. Many tales are recoided of atrocities
committed by the red savages at Maiietta and thn
other settlements. It was on November 4th, 1791,
that the army of St. Clair, encamped on the banks
of the Wabash, was attacked by Little Turtle an.l
1500 warriors, the army sustaining a loss of more
than 800 men killed and 280 wounded, while the
rest escaped by flight. The end of this Indian
fighting came soon after General Anthony Wayne's
victory on the Maumee river, August 20th, 1794, the
war terminating on August 3rd, 1795 when the
treaty of Greenville was signed by General Wayne
and ninety chiefs and delegates of twelve Inlian
tribes.

FROM 1795 TO 1812.

The I'eal work of building a city was begun soon
after the Indian war closed. The people were so
overjoyed at the prospect of peace that no accom
plishment seemed impossiole to them. The spin-
ning wheel and the loom was again taken up by tlie
women folks, while the men and boys went forth
to work in field or forest. One of the first at-
tempts made at manufacturing was started in 1796
when a company was organized to make salt. The
growth in population was not as rapid from this
time for-ward as had been hoped, but civil govern-
ment took shape and Marietta continued to advance
along all lines. The people of the city and the
county again began to take an active interest in poll-
tics.

THE WAR OF 1812 AND THE WAR OF THE
REBELLION.

While Marietta furnished many of her bravest
sons and was well represented in the war of 1812 it
was yet so far inland from the scenes of actual
hostilities as to be little affected by that conflict.
When the war of the Rebellion broke out on the
morning of April 12, 1861, there is no reason to
suppose that Ohio would not have enlisted its sym-
pathies with the slave states. It enjoyed the same
climate as Virginia and Kentucky and had the same
occasion to profit by slave labor. That Ohio and
those other states, which were formed out of the
Northwest Territory, stood by the Federal Govern-
ment is unquestionably due to the great ordinance
of 1787, Avhich contained a clause declaring that
"There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary ser-
vitude in the said Territory, etc.," which was the
first blow struck at slavery in the new world. The
author of this article was Nathan Dane. However,
when the crisis came the people of Washington
County and the great Territory of the Northwest
were patriotic and again gave their allegiance to the
Union and their country. The news of the first
shot, fired on Sullivan's Island in Charleston har-
bor reached Marietta Saturday morning, April 13th,
1861, and the following Monday the President's
call for 75,000 men was received, which was re-
sponded to by Captain Frank Buell, of the Union
Blues, a Marietta Company which with a full com-
plement of officers and men was the first company
from Washington County to offer its services to the
government. The four years that elapsed before
the close of the war in 1865 were trying times for
the people of Marietta, and great was the rejc' «""•
when the news of Lee's surrender at Appon:
was received.

12

AFTER THE WAR QF 1861-65.

As early as 1802 active interest was manifested
by the people of Washington County and Marietta
in the question of transportation facilities and va-
rious schemes and plans began to appear. Water
navigation of course had up to this time been the
principal means of communication with distant mar-
kets. The story of the rapid development of our
present system of railroad and steamboat transpor-
tation facilities can be traced under the various
departments of this work. The gi'owth of the

business, religious, and educational life of Marietta
can likewise be followed in the same manner, each
under their respective titles.

HISTORICAL NOTES

Rev. William Breck, a member of the Ohio Com-
pany, on Sunday, July 20th, 1788.

The first election in Washington County was hekl
in December, l';98. It was on this date that the
right of franchise was first exercised northwest of
the Ohio river.

Charles Dickens, the E.'glish novelist, it is claim-
ed, years ago, while waiting for his steamer to take
on fuel stepped on shore at the Third street wharf
and viewed the city.

The first expedition made \)y the Ohio Land Com-
pany was in 1750. It was made under Christo-
pher Guist for the purpose of exploring the terri-
tory which the company hoped to possess.

George Washington, on the night of Oct. 26th,
1770, camped at the mouth of the Little Musking-
um on his way from Fort Pitt down the Ohio river
on a tour of inspection of this Avestern country.

ume 1.

Fort Harmar, a military post planted by the gov-
ernment at the mouth of the Muskingum river, ou
the west shore, for the purpose of protection to the
suiveyors and the early inhabitants of the frontier
was commenced in the autumn of 1785, under the
supervision of Major John Doughty and a detach-
ment of United States troops. It was completed in
the spring of 1786.

On September 2nd, 1788, the first court was
held with Col. Sproat, sheriff. The judges were
GeTieral Rufus Putnam, Gen. Benjamin Tupper and
Col. Arcihbald Creary. Paul Fearing was admitted
as an attorney and was the first lawyer to practice
at the bar in the Northwest Territory. Col. R. J.
Meigs was clerk of th:^. court. The pillory and
stocks were used as forms of punishment.

Rutherford B. Hayes, who was President of the
United States from 1877 to 1881, was first admit-
ted to the bar for the practice of law in Marietta, in
1845. as shown by the following, taken from the
District Court Journal, Book A, of Washington Coun-
ty, Ohio, under date of Monday, March 10th, 1845:
"Erastus Adhins, James Evans and Rutherford B.
Hayes, having been examined and found rjimlifiorl to
practice as attorneys and counsellois at luw and
solicitors in chancery, were this day duly sworn and
admitted as such in the courts of this state."

Up to 1800 game was plentiful in the forests of
Washington County. Of the larger game bear
seems to have been the most abundant,
while deer was also very plenty. The

buffalo and the elk were also found here but owing
to the wanton killing of these animals by the In-

14

dians on their annual hunts, they were exterminated.
According to early writers of the history of those
times "The woods were alive with wolves, foxes,
opossums, rabbits, raccoons, ground hogs, squirrels
and birds." It is related that pigeons during their
flights in the fall would travel in such immense flocka
that entire forests have been destroyed by their light-
ing on the trees.

On the night of January 2nd, 1791, began the In-
dian war in the settlements of the Ohio Company, by
the massacre at Big Bottom, about 30 miles above
Marietta, on the Muskingum. In the spring of
1790 a party of young men from Marietta who had
taken up donation lands erected a block house there.
The following January the Indians came down the
West side of the river, crossed on the ice just a,t
dark, surprised the inmates of the block house at
supper, tomahawked twelve persons, took several
captives and heaping the dead together, they tore
up the floor and piled it upon their bodies and set
fire to the whole. This was the beginning of that
four years of terrible warfare with savage foes.

Here is the first will recorded in Washington
County: "Nuncupative Will of Charles Ransom, de-
ceased. The deposition of John Bartlett and Amo3
Seymore, both of Capt. Heart's Company, 1st United
States Regiment. The deponents say that on the
3rd day of October last past, on their march against
the Indian Towns, Charles Ransom, of the same
company, called on them to bear witness that if he
should not return from the campaign, should die or
be killed, that he gave all his personal estate, viz:
clothing, pay, and all arrearages of pay and cloth-
ing, to David Chapman, of said company. At the
same time Chapman made his will in favor of said
Ransom, and called on us to bear witness to the
same." Signed John Bartlett, Amos Seymore, Fort
Harmar, 7th December, 1790.

In January, 1798, Marietta entertained King
Louis Phillippe, of France, who was making a tour

BIG FIRES AND DISASTERS

The Phoenix Mill Avas completely destroyed by
fire on May 1st, 1900.

The Loebdell Rim Factory Fire occurred on De-
cember 1st, 1897. The loss was over $40,000.00.

The fire which destroyed the handsome new Fifst
National Bank Building occurred on the night of
December 26, 1903 — just me month after the Roy-
al Glass Works fire.

Another disastrous fire which caused the destruc-
tion of property to the amount of nearly $30,000.00.
occurred about 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning, Aug-
ust 17th, 1902, when the Marietta Paint & Coloi-
Company plant was burned.

The explosion followed by fire in the Pattin Bros.
& Co.'s Machine Shops on Second street, in which
Douglas P. Pattin lost his life, occurred about 7
o'clock Sunday morning, October 20th, 1901.

A fire which was probably more generally looked
upon as a calamity to Marietta was that which de.'^-
troyed the Royal Glass Co.'s plant, on Novem^^>-
26th, 1903. The weekly pay roll of this indub..y
was about $1500.00, and it's loss was severely felt
by the mercantile interests of the city.

On May 26th, 1904, at 11:30 p. m., an incendiary
fire broke out in the livery stable of Fred Strecker
on Third and Church streets and caused the total
destruction not only of Strecker's stable, but also
James Roache's machine shop, Jos. Smith's black-
smith shop, two barns, and damaged the Marietta
Distillery Company's building on Greene street.
Three horses were also burned in this fire one of

16

them being "Ohio Chimes," a stallion owned by W.
E. Detlor, and valued at $2,000.00.

The accident to the Steamer Duffy, in charge of
Captain Charles Lieving, with a picnic party under
the auspices of the United Commercial Travelers,
and bound for the head of Marietta Island, and in
which three lives were lost, occurred on June 25th,
1898. The Duffy had not gone far from the
whaif when a sudden wind storm arose which upset
the boat, crowded with merry makers. Those
who lost their lives Avere: John (Jerken, L. A.
Bevan and Malcolm Nye. This calamity took place
shoitly after one o'clock Saturday afternoon.

One of the most disastrous fires in the city's his-
tory occurred in May, 1858. This fire originated
in a barn at the rear of the old Branch State Bank
building, at that time occupied by the Bank of Ma-
rietta, located about where the Dime Savings So-
ciety's building now stands on Front street. It
eat its way through and spreading rapidly, consum-
ed everything in its pathway to Greene street, and
continued its way to Second street along the north
side of Greene. Among the big stores destroyed
in that fire was Bosworth & Wells' big grocery. Tur-
ner's Cash Store, Nye & Hutington's and A. Allen's
Two photographic views of the ruins taken shortly
after the fire hang upon the wall in Chas. Mc
Parland's Place, on Front street.

The Tornado which passed over Marietta on the
evening of June 25th, 1902, is estimated to havo
destroyed property to the value of over $100,000.00.
With all the destruction of property, roofs blown
oflf, entire buildings demolished, and uprooted trees
and debris flying through the air to the accompani-
ment of vivid flashes of lightning and terrific thun-
der, only one life was lost — that of a man named
Herman Sprague, who was crushed beneath a fallen
chimney of a brick house in which he boarded. The
storm came on about 7 o'clock on a Wednesday ev-
ening, from the northwest, down uvcr tne northern
end of Fair view Heights, closely hugging the ground
and following an almost straight course in a south-
easterly direction, until reaching Norwood when it
apparently crossed the Ohio river and lost itself
in the Ioav hills of West Virginia. After crossing
i^n Muskingum river it struck the city near the foot
of "Sacra Via street, thence diagnally across Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets, sweeping
clean the top of the Mound in Mound Cemetery,
touching Glendale, then up over the hill and down
again on Norwood where the greatest damage to
property resulted. Among the greatest losers
through the damage to property were The Street
Car Company, in the complete destruction of its car
barns ; the Ohio Valley Wagon Works, The Acme
Brick Co.; The Thomas Cisler & Son Brick Com-
pany; The Marietta Chair Co.; and The Marietta

17

Brewing Co. Hundreds of private residences wera
damaged more or less seriously, some being un-
roofed. Among the homes most to suffer were
those of the following residents: August Keuhn, St.
Clair street; Miss S. R. Warren, Second street,
Charles Strecker, Charles Otto, H. V. De Rousso
and E. G. Brigham, on Washington street; C. A.
Ludey and S. C. Wilhelra, Third street; Mrs. Min-
shall, William Horn, Ed. Meisenhelder, G. J. Lund,
Mrs. R. R. Dawes, the Centra! Christian church and
the First Pi-esbyterian church, of Fourth street ;
Mrs. E. C. Dawes, of Wooster street; the Penroso
& McKinney double house, Wm. Reader, Benj. J.
McKinney, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Morgen, J. S. Torner
and Dr. Cotton, on Fifth street; The Gerken home
on Cutler street, Dan'l and Henry Weinstock on
Short street; Mrs. Lorenz, Walter Allen, Jacob
Wonderly, Andy Cline, Mrs. Drear, Mrs. Schultheis.s
and Mrs. Lehnhard, Glendale.

FLOODS.

The early historians in touching on the floods of
the Ohio river gives 1813 as the date of the first
big flood after the settlement of Marietta. On
this occasion it is claimed the water rose to 7 or
8 feet on Front street. Another flood which was
even higher was in April, 1815. The next great
flood was in 1832. When the water was at its great-
est height a heavy thunder storm and high winds
came up and caused much alarm. Herewith are given
a record of the big floods, which, beginning with the
year 1852, show the heights the water reached at
Pittsburg, Wheeling and Marietta. These figures
are furnished by Mr, M. K. Wendelken, of this city.

HISTORICAL

NEWSPAPERS OF MARIETTA.

Ohio Gazette and Virginia Herald was the first
newspaper in Maiietta. The fii-st issue ap-

peared on December 18, 1801, and was pub-
lished by Wyllys Silliman and Elijah Bachus.
In 1805 the paper had passed into the hands
of Samuel Fairlanil), of Philadelphia, who con-
tinued as owner and publisher up to 1810, when
he sold to Caleb Emerson, who later changed
the name to that of the Western Spectator.

The Commentator and Marietta Recorder was first
issued on September 16, 1807, by Durham &
Gardner. It remained in existence about two
years and was discontinued for lack of sufficient
support.

The Western Spectator made its initial appearance?
on October 10th, 1810, with Caleb Emerson as
editor and owner, it being the new name given
to the old Gazette purchased by him that year
from Samuel Fairlamb. It is recorded that
Emerson was one of the best known characters
as well as one of the ablest men of his time.
The Spectator was published the first year of
its existence by Thomas G. Ransom for Caleb
Emerson, but later issues gives the name of the
publisher as "J. Israel for Caleb Emerson." It
continued publication with slight irregularity up
to April, 1813, when it was purchased by the
American Friend.

The American Friend was first issued on April 24,
1813. D. Everett was the editor and it was
published by T. G. Ransom for D. Everett, T,
Buell and D. H. Buell. Everett was a brilliant
literary scholar and a forceful writer. After
his death, December 21, 1813, D. H. Buell,
Esq., succeeded as editor. Tn April 1814,
Royal Prentiss became one of the publishers in
place of T. G. Ransom, the firm name being
given as "T. & D. Buell and R. Prentiss." On
March 16, 1816, Royal Prentiss succeeded as
sole owner and publisher and remained in that
capacity, and as editor, for seventeen years. On
June 26, 1823, he enlarged his paper from a
four to a five column paper and also changed
the name to that of

"The Americcm Friend and Marietta Gazette." At
this time also, he took into partnership G. Pren-
tiss, who remained with the business until April
30, 1826. On May 11th, 1833, R. Prentiss
sold to John Delafield and Edward W. Nye,

Marietta Gazette. The Marietta Gazette which as
such was first issued on July 15, 1833, became
the name of The American Friend and Marietta
Gazette, upon its coming under the control of

19

Delafield & Nye. In September, 1834, Mr.

Nye retired, leaving Mr. Delafield the sole head
of the paper. Not long after this Mr. Dela-
field was succeeded as editor and publisher by
Pazzi Lapham, who was a practical printer
and possessed considerable ability as an editor.
In August, 1835, Edward Nye again became
the proprietor, remaining at the helm until
April 20, 1836, when Caleb Emerson again bo
came the owner and editor. His publishers
were L. J. and V. C. Knight. Although Mr.
Emerson and son remained with the paper un-
til 18 11, Isaac Max on became the editor and
publisher in December, 1837, and continued as
such until 1842, when he was succeeded by
Edward Flagg, as editor. Flagg remained in
that capacity until the purchase of the paper by
the Marietta Intelligencer.

Marietta Intelligencer. The Intelligencer was es-
tablished on August 29, 1839. It was found-
ed by Beman Gates, who continued as its editor
until 18.56, in which year he was succeeded by
Dr. T. L. Andrews. On June 5, 1862, Hon,
Rodney M. Stimson, who is still a resident of
Maiietta, became the owner and editor. It
was Mr. Stimson who changed the name of tho
paper to "The Marietta Register." About the
same time he purchased the "Home News,"
which had been in existence about three and
a half years. Mr. Stimson came from Ironton,
where, from 1850 to 1862, he was the editor
of the "Ironton (Ohio) Register." It may
be of interest to note that Mr. Stimson was a
graduate in 1847 of Marietta College. He
was born in Milford, New Hampshire, October
26, 1824.

The Marietta Register was first published on Friday,
June 27th, 1862, Rodney M. Stimson being
editor and owner. It is claimed for the Reg-
ister that it is a direct descendant from the
old Ohio Gazette and Virginia Herald. In
1872 Mr. Stimson sold to E. R. Alderman &
Co., J. W. Dumble being the company. In
1875 Mr. Alderman became the sole owner and
editor and is remembered as one of the most
just, fearless and out-spoken men of his time
in affairs touching the public welfare. In
1883 he took into the business his oldest son,
A. D. Alderman, the firm name becoming E. R.
Alderman & Son. Later another son, E. S.
Alderman, Avas included in the firm, which bo-
came E. R. Alderman & Sons. In 1887, "The
Marietta Register Co." was incorporated with
the following officers: E. R. Alderman, presi-
dent; A. D. Alderman, vice president; E. S.
Alderman, sec'y. and treas. ; L, A. Alderman
and William Sharpe, directors.

20

The Marietta Times. — The first issue of "The
Times," under its present name, was on Sep-
tember 24, 1864, when Walter C. Hood to>k
up the Democratic line of succession from ihe
first paper in the Territory Northwest of
the River Ohio, "The Ohio Gazette and ^he
Territorial and Virginia Herald," which first
appeared December 7, 1801. While there have
been broken links in all the chains of succession
"The Times" is certainly the political doscend-
ent of the first paper, which advocated Jeifer-
sonian principles, and has equally as good a
claim as have any other to being its lineal des-
cendant. There is no other paper in Ma-
rietta today that has been issued so long with-
out a change of name as has "The Times." in
1871 S. M. McMillen bought the paper and
conducted it until 1890, since which time it has
been published by Ben J. McKinney, who, Oc-
tober 20, 1898, added a Daily issue of "The
Times" to the weekly issue.

The Marietta Minerva. First published by John D.
and A. V. ' D. Joline, in October 1823, and
ceased on December 3rd, 1824, by being merg-
ed M'ith The American Friend and Marietta
Gazette.

The Marietta & Washington County Pilot made its
first appearance on April 7th, 1826, George
Dunlevy and A. V. D. Joline being the pub-
lishers. In 1827 the Pilot came out as a
Jackson paper. In May, 1830, appeared the
last issue, the plant afterward being purchased
by John Brough.

The Western Republican and Marietta Advertiser
was first published by John Brough (afterward
Auditor and later governor of Ohio) on Jan-
nary 8, 1831. After being published about
two years the paper was removed to Parkers-
burg and later to Lancaster.

The Home News. The history as well as the life of
this paper, is short. It was first issued in
May, 1859, by E. Winchester, who, in 1862,
sold the plant to R. M. Stimson, who merged
it with the Register.

The Marietta Democrat. First issued in August,
1835, by Charles B. Flood, and was sold to Ja-
cob Baughey in 1838. This paper shortly after-
waid failed "and the property was* purchased by
Daniel Radebaugh, Jr.

The Washington County Democrat was first issued
in April, 1840, Daniel Radebaugh, Jr., but con-
tinued for only a short time. In 1844 it was
revived by J. C. C. Carroll, who continued its
publication until after the first of November of
the same year, after which it ceased.

21

The Marietta Republican. This paper was fii'st
issued in 1849, by Amos Layman, a graduate
of Marietta College. For nearly five years
prior to this Marietta had been without a Dem-
ocratic paper. About 1854 Mr. Layman sold
out to Andrew McCormick, who continued the
publication until 1863.

Der Marietta Demokrat. This was the first Ger-
man newspapi'r established in Marietta and was
started by William Lorey in 1856, who in 1865
sold out to Mueller & Schultz and was soon
after suspended. It was later revived again
by Mr. Lorey but only survived for about a
year and a htilf l.onger.

Der Beobachter. This paper was started in 1861
by Joseph Wildt and Frederick Neuberger. Ow-
ing to a lack of sufficient support it only lasted
about nine months. An effort was made to
revive it by E. Schmidt but without success.

Der Patriot was published by Rev. Constantine Ar-
nold, the first number appearing in 1867, the
publisher securing the use of the plant of Der
Beobachter. Only twenty-two numbers were
issued.

Marietta Zeitung. The first number of the Zeitung
was issued in October, 1868, by Mr. Winches-
ter, being assisted by Mr. Frederick Newberger,
of the defunct "Beobachter." It was next
sold to Jacob Mueller, who afterwards sold to
Frederick Knapp.

The Marietta Leader. The Leader was first issued
by Frank A. Crippen and Will S. Knox, on
February 2'6, 1881. About a year later it was
sold to T. F. Davis, and in 1890 The Leader
Publishing Co. was incorporated, publishing a
semi-weekly until 1894, when a tri-weekly was
started and the following year The Marietta
Daily Leader, with weekly editions. The edi-
tor and owner of the new daily was the late
George M. Cooke. Mr. Cooke sold in July,
1900. to H. V. Speelman, J. W. Crooks, T. J.
Mercer, C. C. Middleswart, John Kaiser and
others. Middleswait was the president of the
company, and J. W. Williams, iiranager. In
October, 190), Mr. Middleswart resigned and
was succeeded as president by Mr. John Kaiser,
who continued to fill that office up to the time
of the consolidation of the Leader with The
Marietta Register on Sept. 10, 1906.

The Daily Journal. This paper was originally es-
tablished by J. I. Goldsmith, Sam E. Blair and
T. .J. Mercer, as a weekly paper and was
known as the "Labor Journal." It was first
published July 4th, 1901. On January 6th.
the following year, "The Daily Journal" was
launched as an evening paper. This step was

22

the uutconie of the piinteis strike of December
1901. The original incorporators of the com-
pany back of the daily were: S. E. Blair, Louis
ShnVpe, M. L. Purkey, Joseph Jones, Harry
Hill, A. E. Stewart and Frank Ackerman. On
September 24, 1906, the paper was purchased
by H stock company and will hereafter be
conducted as a Democratic organ. The offi-
cers of the new company are: Dr. O. A. Lam-
belt, Pres. ; H. B. Coen, Vice Pres. ; 0. P.
Hvde, Sec'y. and Treas. ; Sam E. Blair, Gen'l.

23

the business, ran it a month or two and sold
out to A. L. Ryder, who continued the pub-
lication until it was burned out in 1889. It
was revived by Charles Taylor, but was soou
after discontinued along in the fall of 1889.

HISTORICAL POINTS OF INTEREST

THE ANCIENT EARTHWORKS AT MARIETTA.

It is over one hundred and eighteen years ago
since the landing of the Pianeers of the Ohio Com-
pany at "The Point" — three generations and moi'e.
It is, therefore, onlj' from historical records that a
description of the Ancient Earthworks as they orig-
inally appeared, can be given. In brief these works
consisted of two enclosures or irregular squares, sur
rounded by earthen walls or ramparts, and lying
between Putnam and Montgomery streets and east
of Third street. These walls were from six to ten
feet high and from twenty-five to thirty-five feet
broad at the base. Through the walls were cut
openings, supposed to have been gateways. Lead-
ing from about the center of the largest of these
great enclosures which was about forty acres in ex-
tent, was an immense road bordered on either side
with high walls, and descending in a perfect grade
to the Muskingum river. At the lower end, near
the river the walls rose to a height of twenty-one
feet on the inner sides, while they measured about
eight or ten feet in height outside. While these
old works and banks of earth have disappeared the
grade of that ancient road still partly remains and
is known as Sacra Via, a name given to it in the
early days..

Within the large enclosure or square above des
cribed were four elevated squares, two of which
have been partly preserved. The largest of the two
remaining is named "Quadranaou," and is located
between Third and Fouith streets, and on the north
side of Warren street, which is a continuation of
Sacra Via. The other of these squares or eleva-
tions is called "Capitolium," and is located upon the
northwest corner of Washington and Fifth streets.
East of "Capitolium" there was another and smaller
square which was known as "St. Cecilia" in the early
days, but this has disappeared.

The second of the enclosures spoken of was about
twenty acres in size. Wooster street about divides
this area which lies above or east of Fourth street.
Of the enclosing walls of this square nothing re-
mains.

THE MOUND CEMETERY.

Of the whole group of Ancient works found at
Marietta by the Pioneers about all that
really exists in anything^ like its original state is the

24

Mound in Mound Cemetery. The Mound is thirty
feet high and is one hundred and fifteen feet in
diameter at its base. It is surrounded by a ditch
about fifteen feet wide and four feet deep, outside of
which is a wall about four feet high and twency
feet in breadth. At one time there were fragmen-
tary walls of slight elevation west and south of the
mound.

It is claimed that years ago this mound was part-
ly excavated from the top and at a depth of about fif-
teen feet a skeleton was found, lying in a horizontal

Mound Cemetery
position. The remains were laid back and the earth
returned to its place and no further effort was made
at discovery, however, for fear of defacing the an-
tique monument.

Mound Cemetery within which today stands the
Ancient Mound was originally named Marie Antion-
ette Square but gradually the name Mound Square
was adopted. This square in 1811 was "reserved
to the town of Marietta * * free of rent for
ninety-nine years, renewable forever."

Among some of those whose names are famous in
history, heroes of the revolution, soldiers of the war
of 1812, who rest in the shadow of this venerable
mound are: Colonel Robert Taylor — General Joseph
Buell — Major Ezra Putnam — General Rufus Putnam
— Ephraim Foster — x^ndrew McAllister — Griffin
Greene — Rev. Daniel Story — Colonel Ebenezer
Sproat — Commodore Abraham Whipple — General
Benjamin Tupper — Major Anselm Tupper — Lieuten-
ant Robert Lincoln — Major Alexander Hill — Captain
Saltanstall — Nanthaniel Dodge — Governor Return J.
Meigs, Jr. — Colonial Ichabod Nye — Captain Stanton
Prentiss — John Green — Captain Josiah Monroe —
Colonel Stacey — Captain Rogers. The last two
graves are unknown.

POINTS OF INTEREST.

The Ohio Land Company's Office. This building,
whicli si.arid.s on the south side of Washington
stieet, between F: ont and Setond streets, is the
oldest building in Marietta and probably in
Ohio. It Avas built in the summer oi 1783
for use of tlie Ohio Land Co.'s surveyors and
originally occupied a site on the plain near the
corner of Washington and Third streets. In
17 90 General Putnam moved it to its present
location in .order that it might be under the
protection of The •"Stockade." The building
was used in these early days by the Ohio Land
Co.'s surveyors and by General Putnam as sur-
veyor General of the United States, until 1803,
when he was succeeded by Mr. Jai-ed Mans-
field. It was afterwards, for many years, the
law office of Judge Arius Nye, who purchased
it with the other Putnam property. It is now
the property of the Colonial Dames as a relic
room, who have placed thereon a bronze tablet
with this inscription; "Land Office of the Ohio
Company, 1786-1787-1788. Purchased and res-
tored in 1896 by the National Society of Col-
onial Dames of America in the State of Ohio."

The Rufus Putnam House. The house now stand-
ing near the northwest corner of Washington
and Second streets, was one of the Campus
Martins houses, built in the summer and fall
of 1788. It M^as built as a residence for
Gen. Rufus Putnam, facing on Washington
street and next adjoining the Soixtheast corner
block house. After the Indian War, about the
1800 he enlarged and improved the residence to
its present dimensions. Later he tore down
the block house, using a portion of it to build
a wing kitchen on the Second street side of his
home. It was to this house he brought his
family in 1790, and it was there he resided un
til his death in May, 1824. During his life
in Marietta, General Putnam had no other resi-
dence, except in the early summer of 1788.
when he was domiciled in his Marquee, or tent,
at "The Point." ("The Point" was the lower
end of town, where the first landing of the
pioneers was made.) In 183 0 Mr. Arius Nyo
(afterward Judge Arius Nye), moved with his
family into the house, and in 1831 he pur
chased the property of the heii's of Rufus Put-
nam. It was his residence until his death.
July 1865. In 1847 Judge Nye removed tho
wing kitchen, which had been constructed of
portions of the block house, and with its remov-
al every vestige of the old block houses disap-
peared. The other block houses and all the
Campus Martins buildings had long before been
removed. The General Rufus Putnam House

26

was never a block house. It is now the Chap-
ter House of the Daughters of the Revolution.

Campus Martius House. On the east side of Fifth
street, .lelow Washington (known as Jslo. 524
Fifth street) stands a house which was built
in Camous Martius in 1788, and was in timo
removed to its present location. It is now
the property of Mrs. Millie Berry. This
house stood on the St. Clair front of Campus
Martius and was the property of Mr. Charles
Greene, an early merchant of Marietia, who
lived in it before and' after the Indian war of
1791-.5. At onfe time after the war it was oc-
cupied by Herman and Mrs. Blennerhassett.
This was during the winter of 1797-8.

The Relic Room — Located in the old Marietta Li-
brary Building at No. 306 Front street, oppos
ite City Park. Established by the Woman's
Centennial Association shortly after the Centen
nial Celebration in 1888. Herein will be found
a most interesting and valuable collection of
historical relics of pioneer days. The Cus-
todian of the Relic Room is Miss Ella Chap-
man. Any one may visit the Relic Room, on
almost any week day, by applying to the cus-
todian who dwells in the same building. ^ A
fee of ten cents, however, is charged to visitors.

Home of Governor Return Jonathan Meigs — Built in
1802. Located at No. 312 Putnam street.
Now the residence of Judge M. D. FoUett.

Soldiers M:;nument — Located in City Park. Erect-
ed to the memory of the brave soldiers of
Washington County who lost theii- lives in the

resenting soldiers of the Revolutionary Army,
organized as "The Ohio Company of Associ-
ates," purchased from the Board of Treasury
of the United States on authority granted by
the Continental Congress, July 27th, 1787, a
million and a half acres of these waste and

ty-eight in number, headed by General Rufus

Marietta Island. This island, sometimes known as
Kerr's island, located in the Ohio river, its
southern end lying about opposite the foot of
Second street and stretching up the Jiver foi
about th}ee and a half miles, is the scene of
many happy and joyous gatherings during tho
summer months, when excursions and picnics
ar(> common occurrences at "The Head." The
island was originally owned by the Columbia
N. Bland estate. In 1897 the employes of the
Fureica and Buckeye Pipe Line Companies leas-
ed about eight acres at the head of the island
and erected a fine dancing pavilion, bowling al-
ley, and other buildings, converting the pla-'e

33

into an ideal picnic grounds. In 1903 Capt.
E. W. Webster, of the Str. Sonoma, purchased
the lease for the grounds, which have become
known as Buckeye-Eureka Park.
Blennerhassett Island. This historic island home of
the Blenneihassetts is situated in the Ohio riv-
er, about 14 miles below Marietta, opposite
Belpi'e. Many stories of the romantic and
melancholy career of. Herman Blennerhassett
have be.Mi published. While born in 1767 in
Hampshire, England, he was the son of one of
the besv families of Ireland, and resided almost
all his life before coming to America at Castle
Conway, the family home in County Kerry, Ire-
land. He married Miss Maigaret Agnew, a
);eautiful and accomplished English i;idy, the
daughter of the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle
of Man. He came to this country in 1797 and
that same year reached Marietta. In March.
I^i98, he purchased the upper end of the island
and lived in a block house thereon for two
years while the famous Blennerhassett mansion
was being built. This was completed in
1800. It Avas here that Aaron Burr visited
Blennerhassett in 1806, which visit as history
tells lis eventually caused the ruin of the Blen-
nerhassett family and fortune and the breaking
up of the happy island home. Herman Blen
nerhassett afterwards died at the age of 63, on
Feb. 1st, 1831, at Port Pierre, on the Island of
Guernsey, in the English channel, off the coast.
of France, where he had gone owing to the
ill health of his wife. Mrs. Blennerhassett after-
wards returned to the United States and died
in poverty in an humble abode in New York
City about 1842-3.

officers and soldiers, who have served in the late
war, and who are by an oidinance of the honorable!
Congress to receive ceitain tracts of land in the
Ohio country, and also all other good citizens who
wish to become adventurers in that delightful region;
that from personal inspection, together Avith other
incontestible evidences, they are fully satisfied that
the lands in that quarter are of a much better qual-
ity than any other known to New England people.
That the climate, seasons, produce. &c., are, infact
equal to the most flattering accounts which have ever
been published of them. That being determined to
become purchaseis, and to prosecute a settlement in
this country: and desirous of forming a general as-
sociation with those who entertain the same ideas,
they have to propose the following plan, viz : That
an asset iati on by the name of the Ohio Company be
formed of all such as wish to become purchasers,
&c, in that country (who reside in the common-
wealth of Massachusetts only, or to extend to the
inhabitants of other states, as shall be agreed upon.)

"That in o] der to bring^ such a company into ex-
istence, the subscribers propose, that all persons who
wish to promote the scheme should meet within their
respective « ounties (except in two instances, herein-
after mentioned.) at ten o'clock, A. M., on Wed-
nesday the 15th day of February next; and that
each county or meeting, there assembled, choose i\

was established extending across the Allegheny
noiintains a^; far as Pittsburg. The first postof-
fice was established in 17 94, with Return J. Meigs,
Jr.. as. the first postmaster. Twelve years later

MARIETTA'S FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In 1804 or 1805 the citizens of Marietta organ-
ized a "Fire Brigade," end each householder was
provided with a leather bucket. When a fire broke
out each secured his bucket and hurried to the
scene of action where the fight was conducted in
the old fashioned way of passing the buckets along
.? line foimed by the men extending between the
buming building and the nearest water supply. This
primitive method was supplanted about 1832 when
a small hand engine was procured. About 1858
the Defiance Fire Company was organized.
1871 saw the organization of the Riverside Fire
Company, regulated and controlled by the Town
Council. A steam fire engine purchased by the

city was taken charge of by this company. This
department was composed of volunteers up to De-

ccmber 1st, 1894, when the present paid depart-
ment was organized. On June 9th, 1895, the
Gamewell fire alarm system was installed. The
department at present consists of two companies,
with the following officers and men:
Marietta Fire Department Officials: — Jos. O'Neal,
chief., George Bell, assistant chief. Office in
City Hall.

ams Roe, Alice C. Hogan, Minnie Forbes, Maria P.
Woodbridge, Mrs. J. D. Cotton, Mrs. William Mors^,
Lida A. Moore, D, B. Torpy, S. A. Cunningham,
Mrs. Sarah N. Lovell, J. F. Jones, Helen Morgan.

Alderman, Howard W. Stanley, Reuben L. Nye, W.
D. Strain and M. F. Noll. Following are the of
fleers: Horace W. Stanley, president; Benjamin
F. Strecker, vice-president ; J. C. Brennan, secretai y
and treasurer; D. B. Torpy and C. H. Turner, witli

any department, and residents in the Marietta City
School district may borrow books (to be returned
within two weeks), by having some resident freehold-
er sign a card which will be furnished on request
by the librarian. The library now has about 8,000
volumes. The average daily circulation is 100.

The library and reading rooms are open on all
week days (except Saturday afternoons and legal
holidays), from 8 o'clock a. m., to 5 p. m., and from
6:30 p. m., to 8:30 p. m. Located in High School

MARIETTA'S WATER WORKS.

The first Water Works in this city was put in
operation on September, 1, 1891, and consisted of a
pumicing station, settling tanks and twelve miles of
pipe, with a capacity of about 1,500,000 gallons. In
May, 1905, the present splendid water system was
completed and put in operation with a capacity of
4,000,000 gallons daily. The system is one of
mechanical filtration. This process not only puri-
fies the water but clarifies it. In the purifying

49

process sulphate ot iron and lime is used to term
a coagulant to remove the solid nuitter and bacteria,
before passing to the sand beds, where the final
cleansing of the water takes place. The water pres-
sure is maintained at from 75 to 100 pounds by the
gravity system.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE.

The new Washington County Couit House was
completed in November, 1902. It is built of white
stone, and as can be seen from the first illustration
in this book, is a magnificent structure. It is ad
mirably located, occupying a site in the heart of the
business distiict. on the corner of Putnam and Sec-
ond streets, facing on Putnam. The building is
eciuipped with every modern improvement and was
planned for the convenience of those who have in
charge the administration of the county's business.
Tn addition to the commodious and handsomely ap-
pointed court room, there is also a large assembly
room which is used for public meetings. The
County Jail, which is also in this building, is located
on the fourth floor. The building was erected at
a cost of $200,000.00.

The first court house of Washington County was
built in 1799, and was located on the opposite side
of Putnam street from the present structure. This
building in 1819 was found inadequate for its pur-
|)0.se and in 1822 the second court house was built
on the site of the present stuicture. This was torn
down in August, 1900.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

The Young Men's Christian Association was or-
ganized in Marietta in 1902. The present hand-
some home of the association was completed in 1903.
'Hie home M'hich is situated at 312 Second street, is
fitted up with fine gymnasium and baths, while a
special attraction for the members is a large swim-
ming pool. There are also reading rooms and
many other attractions for young men.

WASHINGTON COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME.

The Washington County Children's Home, an in-
stitution where orjjhaued and homeless children are
received and cared for, was founded by Miss 0. A.
Fay, afterwards Mrs. A. S. D. Ewing. The first
home was established by Miss Fay on April 1st,
18.58, on a farm in Lawrence township about ten
miles from Marietta. The name of "Children's

Tlome" was also originated by Miss Fay, who for
foity years of her life devoted herself to the rescue
of homeless children. It was through her efforts
that in 1866 a bill passed the Ohio legislature pio-
vidiug for Children's Homes and as a result there

are today fifty-eight such institutions in the state.
After becoming a county institution it was decided
to have the Home nearer to Marietta and the pres-
ent site on the Muskingum was purchased,
buildings erected and the children removed there on
the 3rd of April, 1867. Miss Fay, however, at this
time resigned her charge of the home owing to fail-
ing health. The home is now managed by a super-
intendent and board of trustees. The present offi-
cers are: Superintendent, J. L. Jordan; Trustees, S.
J. Hathaway, W. A. Sniffen, Andrew L. Gracey, Jas.
S. Devol. Mrs. J. L. Jordan is the Matron.

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL

This society was organized on November 17th,
1819, under the name of the "Agricultural and
Manufacturing Society of Washington and "Wood
Counties." The first fair was held in Marietta on
October 18, 1826. The committee of arrange-

ments consisted of Nahum Ward, S. P. Hildi-eth and
John Mills. Joseph Barker was the president and
William A. Whittlesey the secretary. The Asso-
tiation was reorganized on June 24, 1846. In 1858
the name was changed to the "Washington County
Agricultural and Mechanical Institute. This name
was again changed on June 29th, 1867, to the pres-
ent name: "Washington County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association." The Fair of 3 906 was
one of the most successful ever held by the Asso-
ciation. The presQut officers are: J. L. Jordan,
president ; C. J. Pfaff, vice president ; C. W. Zimmer,

THE MUSKINGUM LOCKS AND DAM.

The present Lock and Dam in the Muskingum riv-
er at Marietta was built during 1893-6. Its di-

Skatin^ at the Mouth of the Muskingum
52

meiisioiis are: 56 feet wide by 330 feet in length
within the walls of the basin and 24 feet deep from
the top of the walls to the mitre sill. The lift is from
6 to 12 feet according to the stage of water. The
first locks built at Marietta were constructed on the
Harmar side, just across the river from the present
location. The Avork was begun in 1837 and com-
pleted in 1841. The lock was smaller in size than
the present one. In 1892 the dam was washed
away.

The Lock keeper's house, a handsome and sub-
stantial brick structure, was built in 1899. It oc-
cupies a lot 45x250 feet, fronting on Front street.

RAILROAD INFORMATION

The lirst railroad to enter Marietta (Harmar) was
the old Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad in 1857, but
since 1868 the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. The
next railioad built to Marietta was the Cleveland and
Marietta Railroad which ran its first train out of
Marietta (to Whipple) on April 1st, 1871. This
road passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company January 1st, 1900, and is now known
ij,s the Pennsylvania Railroad — Marietta Division. In
1884 came the Toledo and Ohio Central Road, now
the Marietta, Columbus and Cleveland Railroad, and
last the Zanesville & Ohio Railroad in 1888. This
load was afterwards called the Ohio & Little Kan-
awha, and in 1902 was absorbed by the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern and made a part of the New-
ark division.

Marietta's handsome Union Depot was built in
1891-2 by The United Terminal Railway Co., T. D.
Dale being the promoter of the enterprise. It was
at this time that the low swamp lands through But-
ler street from Front to Thiid street were filled in,
in places from ten to fifteen feet. In 1896 the Bal-
timore & Ohio Southwestern purchased the Union
Station qnd now leases privileges to the other rail-
roads. (For directory of railroad officials see Gaz-
etteer. )

THE MINISTERIAL SECTION.

(Section 29.)

Section 29, or the Ministerial section, was re-
served by congress for the support of religion, in all
the townships of the Ohio Company's purchase. The
ministerial section in Marietta township came within
the town plat and was for this reason the cause of
much trouble to the directors of the company.

The boundary lines of this section are given as
follows : Beginning at the intersection of Sixth and
Wayne streets, on the Ohio River, the east line runs
north, crossing Seventh street near the middle of
square No. 71, Eighth and Hart streets at their in-
tersection : thence to a point back of College Hill :
thence due West crossing Tupper at Seventh street,
Sixth. Wooster. Fifth and Fourth streets to the North-
west corner of Washington and Third streets ; thence
due south, crossing Second street. Front street
near its intersection with Wooster, thence in same
direction diagonally across the Muskingum river, en-
teiing Harmar at the intersection of Lancaster and
Muskingum streets: thence midway between Second
and Third streets and parallel with them to the
Ohio river.

MARIETTA SCHOOLS

The first school in Marietta was in Campus Mar-
tius, the first teacher being Major Anselm Tupper.
Schools were also conducted at "The Point" and at
Port Harmer, with varying success as to securing
teachers, until after te Indian War. In 1997 steps
were taken to provide better educational advantages
and the movement resulted in the completion m
1800, and its formal opening with David Putnam, a
graduate of Yale College, as teacher, of the Musking-
um Academy. No attempt will be made to give a
connected history of educational matters in Mariet-
ta, further than to show that the settlers early
realized the advantages of good schools and teach-
ers. Today Marietta is second to no city in the
state in the matter of schools.

ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL.

_ The first Catholic school was established in Vu-
rietta about 1856. It was continaed for about
five years, but conditions in the parish were not <'.t.-
couraging and with the breaking out of the Civil
War, had to be <,nven up. The present handsou^i
school property on South Fourth street Was com-
pleted in 1895, through the energy and persistenco
of Rev. F. M. Woesman, the present pastor of f-'-t.
Mary's Church, who took charge of this parish in
,1892, succeeding the Rev. Father John B. Kuehn.
who died in July of that year. The building was
enlarged in 1898 to its present size in order to pro-
vide more room for the growing school member-
ship. This institution of learning which has at-
tained a high rating for its efficiency, is in char-3
of the Dominican Sisters. About 280 pupils are
enrolled.

MARIETTA COLLEGE

Higher education in Marietta began two years af-
ter the long Indian war in 1797, when it was de-
rided at a meeting of the most representative citiz-
ens of the settlement of Marietta, to erect a build-
ing for educational purposes. In 1800 the
new building, (which had been erected on Front
street, just north of the Congregational Church,) was
opened and given the name of the "Muskingum Aca-
demy." Here for more than a quarter of a cen
tr.jy the classics and high school branches were
taught. David Putnam, grandson of Gen. Israel Put-
nam and a graduate of Yale College in 1793, was
the first preceptor of the Academy. In 1832 the
Academy building was sold and was afterwards used
as a residence until 1887. In 1830 Rev. Luther <3r.
Bingham established the "Institute of Education,''
erabiacing four departments, the two higher being
the "?Iigh School"' and the "Ladies Seminary," using
for a time the old Muskingum Academy building. In
1831 Mansfield French became associated with Mr.
Bingham as proprietor. The following year, (1832)
an advisory board of trust was appointed which
consisted of Caleb Emerson, James Whitney, Dr. S.
P. Hildreth, Dr. John Cotton, Arius Nye, Weston
Thomas and Douglas Putnam. That same year a
chaiter was applied for and obtained December 17th.
under the name of the "Marietta Collegiate Insti
tute and Western Teachers' Seminary." Two
moie tiustees were added making nine mem-
bers jis follows: Dr. John Cotton, Douglas Putnam.
John Mills. Luther G. Bingham, Caleb Emerson,
Alius Nye, Jonas Moore, Anselm T. Nye, and John
Crawfoid. In Februaiy, 1835, a new charter
was o])tained and the name again changed to the
present oiu', "Marietta College."

The site of the College Campus is an ideal one, oc-
cupying nearly two full city blocks — from Putnam

College Campus
85

extending south beyond Butler street to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad lines, and from Fourth to Fifth
streets, besides adjoining property between Fifth
and Sixth streets. The ground of the campus
proper takes a gradual but decided slope upwards
from Fourth to Fifth street, the buildings which are
erected along the upper side occupying a command-
ing position, the view looking west across the camp-
us being a most attractive one. The first of the Col-
lege buildings erected was the old Dormitory, in
1832, which was torn down in 1905 to make room
for the new library building; Erwin Science
Hall was completed about 1849-50; the Li-
brary or Alumni Memorial Building was erected in
1870; Andrews Hall in 1891. The Gurley Obser-
vatory, named in honor of William Chamberlain Gur-
ley, M. A., its founder and director, until his death
in June, 1898, was built in 1882 by William
Chamberlain Gurley and a company organized foi-
the study of astronomy, but it became college prop-
erty in 1890 and was moved to its present location.
In addition to the above there is a large Gymnasium
building, dedicated in 1902, and the present year has
seen the completion of a modern new Dormitory
building and the magnificent new Library building,
besides a central heating plant, designed to supply
steam heat to all the college buildings. Plans
have also been partly completed for other new build-
ings in the next few years.

The first College class graduated in 1838, since
which time no year has passed without a graduat-
ing class. Over nine hundred have received the
Bachelor's degree.

The records of recent giaduates in the profession-
al schools in the east is proof that the training norr
being given fits its graduates to compete with those
from the best institutions in the country.

MARIETTA COLLEGE LIBRARY.

The "College Library" is the gi'eatest institution
of its kind, not only in the state of Ohio, but in the
West. From the very beginning of its history, the
College has given special emphasis to the Library.
The first catalogue issued in 1838 reported 3,000
volumes, and the growth has been constant ever
since. It now numbers over 60,000 volumes. It is es
pecially strong in the history of the Interior, the old
Northwest Territory. In this field, it is believed,

90

>PO£L

the valuable Stimson collection — the gift of Hon.
Rodney M. Stimson — is excelled by only one similar
collection in the world. And this collection of

books is supplemented by a large number of man-
uscripts, including the records of the Ohio Company,
its oiiginal maps and land records, the records and
journals of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Ter-
ritoiial Government, the correspondence of Gen. Ruf-
us Putnam vvith Washington and others, as well as
a large number of letters and journals of the early
settlers. These are held as priceless.

Besides this collection on American history, the
Library contains others of great interest — the Hil-
dreth collection in Natural History; one rich in Phil-
osophy and Art, the still growing gift of a living
donori and one of Welsh literature. The Library
is a United States depository and has a very com-
plete file of Government publications.

The new building, with a capacity for 200,000 vol-
umes, will increase the security and efficiency of the
Library and will be ready by the beginning of an-
other school year.

The Library is open frorrr 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. ev-
ery week day.

CATHARINE FAY EWING.

\\'itiiiii the pages of this work it was not ijlanired
to ir.ciiule eulogies of individuals, but there was oire
whose name ai:d wliose memory slrou'd live in hu
man hcaits in loviii;;- levcience for all I'.me — a noble
hearted woman.

Catharine Fay Ewing, farrriliarly ksown as "Aunt
Katie Fay,"' Avas born at Westboro Mass., in the
year 1822; she was married to Mr. A. S. D. Ewmg
in 1862: died April 4th, 1897. Her ancestors hail-
ed flora Plymouth Rock. Her family came to Ohio
when she was a t iiild. At the age of 20 she became
a missionary among the Choctaw Indiarrs, where she
labored for ten years. While engaged irr this work,
a tragic incident occurred, causing the death of a
homeless child, which aroused all the synrpathies of
her nature, and she resolved to do what she could
to res(u»' dcp'nd.'Ut children from sritt'ering and
degredation.
: It was Miss Fay who foundc-d the fii s( Children's
Home to which refei-ence is rrrade on jiag,' 50. It
was ."-he who saved the orphan from the poor house,
and thiough her the great state of Ohio took up the
woik she begarr. She was urrcorrsciously a lead-^r
in a grei:t reform — even as Florence Nightingale,
John Howard, or Claia Barton. She was actuated
by i)iMe love for helpless humanity: theie was no
thought of self: her chaiity was unseltisli and was
theieofie beautiful.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The District of Columbia, the federal district of
the United States, and seat of the general govern-
ment, was organized July 16th, 1790. The district
was created out of land originally belonging to the
state of Maryland, on the east bank of the Potomac
river. It was not until June 15th, 1800, however,
that the offices of the Federal Government of the
United States were established at Washington, and
the first session of Congi-ess held in Washington was
in that year.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE

"The Monroe doctrine" was enunciated in the fo>
lowing woids in President Monroe's message to
Congress December 2, 1823:

"in the discussions to v, hich this interest has given
lisp. and in the arrangements by which they may
tei miniate, the occasion has boon deemed proper for
asserting, as a principle in which rights ancl inter
'^'^ts of the United States are involved, that the
Ameiican continents, by the free and independent
fondition which they have assumed and maintain.
ore hencefoith not to be consideied as subjects for

futuia colonization by any European power We

owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable rela-

103

t;ons existing between the United States and tliose
powers to deflaie that we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend their system to any
poition of this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. ^^ ith the existing colonies or
dependencies of any Euiopean power we have nat
inteifered: and shall not inteifere. But with the
governments wlio have declared their independence
and maintain it, and whose independence we have, on
great consideration and on just principles acknowl-
edged, we could not view any interposition for the
purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any
other mannei', their destiny by any European power
in any other light than as the manifestation of an
unfiiendly disposition toward the United States."

SOME FACTS ABOUT OHIO.

Ohio is rich in mineral deposits, ' principally coal
and iron.

The principle tributaries of the Qhio river are
the Mahoning, Muskingum, Hocking, Scioti, Little
Miami and the Big Miami rivers.

The Ohio river is formed by the junction of the
Allegheny and the Monongahela rivers at Pittsburg.
It enters Ohio near the middle of the eastern
boundary of the state, following its southeastern
and southern boundaries a distance of 436 miles.

The native trees of Ohio include the oak, maple,
birch, hickory, poplar, ash, walnut, cherry, chest-
nut, elm, sycamore, cottonwood, pine, hemlock,
cedar, and the buckeve, from which comes the name
"The Buckeye State."

The area of the Northwest Territory is 249,015
square miles, divided as follows: Wisconsin, 56,040
sq. miles; Michigan, 58,915 sq. miles; Illinois, 56,-
650 sq. miles; Indiana, 36, .350 sq. miles, and Ohio
41,060 sq. miles.

The Ohio river is formed by the junction of the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at Pittsburg, and
is 967 miles in length, from Pittsburg to Cairo, 111.,
where it joins the Mississippi river. It is 171
miles from Marietta to Pittsburg by boat, and 796
miles to Cairo. As showing the extent of the navi-
gable waters of the entire Ohio River basin, it may
be interesting to know that one may start from
Pittsburg and tiavel 4,406 miles by boat and not
go out of the Ohio river and its tributaries.

THE MARIETTA BAND AND ORCHESTRA.

The ilaiietta Band and Orchestra is one of the
organizations of the city in which the citizens take
an honest piide, and from which they derive much
pleasuie. This is thoroughly demonstrated by the
crowds that fill City Park on band concert nights
duiing the summer months. This organization was
founded in 1884 by Prof. Louis Miller. Professor
Miller was a thorough master of music and it is due
laigely to his efforts that the band eventually became
what it' is today — one of the finest musical organiza-
tions in the state. Pi of. Miller was succeeded as
djiector by Professor Williams, and was in turn
succeeded by J. C. Arnold, a man of marked musical
ability. It was under Prof. Arnold's leadership

that the band went to Zanesville on the occasion of
the state meeting of the Commercial Travelers, in
May of 1897, causing the Zanesville Times to re-
mark: "It is not pleasant to have to say it but its
the truth nevertheless that Marietta lays us out on
band music." It was also while returning from
this trip that the train on which the band traveled
homeward was wrecked at Fearing Trestle seriously
injuring several members. Following Professor Ar-
nold as director came Prof. Franz Schmiedeke, undec
whose leadership the organization continued to win
new laurels. The Marietta Band and Orchestra is
now under the directorship of Prof. Carl Becker. Mr.
Peter Schlicher is the manager of the baud and or
chestra and has filled that office since it's organiza-
tion.

MARIETTA AS A MANUFACTURING
POINT

Marietta offers to the manufacturer many and va-
ried advantages possessed by but few cities in th.j
state. It is located in the heait of a very pro-
ductive natuial gas teiiitoiy, which fact together
with that of the cheapness of coal at this point,
disposes of the question of cheap fuel. As a ship-
ping point, it need only be necessaiy to point to
the map to show the stranger our splendid advan
tages in that line. Heie, at our doors flows one
of the greatest highways of commerce in the world
— the gieat Ohio liver. H'^i e, too is the Musking-
um liver, navigable for a distance of nearly 75 miles
and connecting by canal water ways with the gteat
lakes. We have also excellent Railw-ay freight ser-
vice, making Cincinnati and Columbus in 18 hours;
New Yoik in 42 hours; Cleveland 48 hours; Dayton
18 houis; Pittsbuigl2 houis; Youngstown 18
houis; St. Louis and Chicago, three days. Ther^
are thiee railroads enteiing the city. Nine passen-
ger titiins aiiive and nine depait every week day
and six eai h way on FMindny^. On eveiy week day
there are eight regular fi eight trains arrive and
eight depait, not counting the many extras which
come and go for thiongh car load business. There
are also im-poitant additional railroad facilities plan- .
ned that will mean mu(h for the city. Just over
the big bridge acioss the Ohio is "Williamstown and
here we are in touch with one of the great divisions
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Th° water supp'y ;? us abundant as the water in
the Ohio liver, while it is m.ade as pure and clear
as a modem and scientifically peifect filtration plant
can make it.

While Marietta alrt^ady has mnny large and flour-
ishing industiies, there are still many accessible
sites w^hich are admirably located for manufacturing
pui poses all within easy reach of the railroads an J
the iiv3Ts, affording unexcelled shipping advantages.

MARIETTA BOAFD OF TRADE.

The Maiietta Boaid of Tiade w^as oiganized May
12th, 1887, its object being: "To collect .and record
such local and general indiistiial infoimation relatinij
to mamifactuies and commerce as w'ill tend to pro-
mote the manufactuiing, commerrial. and financial
welfare of the cities of Marietta and Harmar, and es-
pecially to protect, foster and develop the niaiuifa--
tuTing and other industrial interests of said cities.'
The oiiginal oi ganiyatl-m Avas composed of lead-
ing business men of the city : representative citizens
whose individual successes in life qualified them to
peifoim the work for which the association was or-

112

gaiii/.ed. The first officers electtd were: J. II. ih-if-
ton, piesident; Col. T. W. Moore, K. M. Booth, I).
•B, Torpy, W. F. Rolfertson, S. M. McMillin, S. B.
Kiiby. \V. H. Styer Col. R. L. Nye, vice-presidents.
The "first secretary was Mr. B, F. Strecker.

The good that has resulted from the efforts and
thi! influtnce of this Jiody has been of inestimable
value to Marietta. Since its organizatiorr its officers
have never flagged ur their duties, often sacrificing
valuable time from their owir private affairs for the
general welfare. And in the present officials_ there
is manifest the same energy, the same self-sacri-
fice and the same progressive spirit that has accom-
plished so much in the past. The present nieni-
bei^hip of the board Is over three huirdred and it is
only necessary to attend one of the arrnual banqu.^iS
of the association on February 22nd, to urrderstanl
fioir. whence comes much of the insijiration and en-
thusiasm, which characterizes the work of the ac-
tive officers. Every inquiry from outside interests
is carefully investigated; any information regarding
the city that may be requested by a prospective in-
dustry is cheei fully furnished, while rrothing pos-
sible is left undone that will enronrage and aid hom>;
institutions. The present officials are:

Howard W. Stanley President

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
The Merchants Association of Marietta, Ohio, was
organized on December 13, 1901, with Chas. H.
Turner, president; Charles F. Henry, secretary and
J. W. Dysle treasurer. The objects of this asso-
ciation are to secure benefits to be derived through
conceited action upon matters pertaming to the mu-
tual advantage of its members, to advance mer-
cantile interests and to promote the general welfare
of Maiirtta. It is to the eft"orts of the Merchani-s
Association that fixed and regular closing hours have,
been established giving to clerks and employers alike
their evenings. It was also the means of abolishing
trading stamps and minimizing bad accounts. To
be brief the Association has accomplished all it start-
ed out to do and much more. Its "Merchants
Day," of March 10th, 1906, which brought to this
city thousands of shoppers from all over the sur-
rounding county districts and neighboring towns
maikpd the largest business in the history of the
merchants of Marietta. The splendid "Merchants
and Manufacturers" building at the fair grounds
erected this year is a nonument to the zeal, the ener-
gy and the tireless effort of the officers and members

113

of this associatiou. The present officers are V. 13.
Hovey, president ; Charles F. Henry, Secretai-y ;
Frank F. Gaitree, Treasurer. Meets first Thursday
night of each month.

BOATING ON THE RIVERS.

Every stranger that visits Marietta at once be-
comes enthusiastic over the beauty of the city and its
two livers. Duiing ihe summer months these riv-
ers possess attractions for many who love nature
and delight in out of door recreations. The world
may affoid many attractive resorts where scenic
beauty is one of the chief charms, but there are
few streams where the sound of dipping oars or the
noise of the motor boat is heaid, more beautiful
than the Muskingum river, to which some tourist
not many years ago gave the name, "The Hudson
River of the West." Within the past two or thrae
years the love of boating has taken a strong hold
on the people of the city. Particularly since the
advent of the motor boat. These small pleasure
craft are very numerous and ply the waters of both
the Ohio and Muskingum, although the latter is by
far the more popular stream as the water above
the dam for five miles is as calm and smooth as
the surface of a lake. But while the Muskingum
is an ideal river, lined on either side with delightful
nooks for picnics and camping parties, there is a
grandeur and a vastness about the old Ohio as it
flows along in its majesty and power, that com-
mands one's deeper admiration. It is one of the
world's greatest highways of commerce. Over its
(-ourse every year millions of doiTars in coal is ship-
ped to southern markets. The illustration opposite
page 5G shows one of the many powerful tow boats
on its way from Pittsburg down the river with its
.fleet of laden coal barges.

LOCK AND DAM NO. 18.

One of the evidences of the magnitude of tho
river improvements planned by Uncle Sam as a
means of providing better water transportation facil-
ities, may be found .u Lock and Dam No. 18, seven
miles below Marietta in the Ohio river. The cost
of this improvement will be nearly a million dollars.
The lock is about 600 feet long and 110 feet wide
between walls. At each end are gates, to be oper-
ated by machinery. These gates will roll across
the ends of the chamber to close, and to open will
roll back into a recess on the land side. The dam
is of concrete, and is movable. Its width is from
20 to 30 feet and about 1,000 feet long; 700 feet
for navigation pass and 300 feet for weir. Two 50-
foot bear trap gates, which can be raised or lowered
automatically will create a current when desired for
carrying off drift, etc. The lock is on the Ohio
side of the river.

IN MOUND CEMETERY.
In Mound Cemetery sleep two brothers, side by
side, one of A^hich fought in the Union army and
the other in the cnnf derate ranks during the Civil
war. The confederate soldier was a member s f
the "Louisiana Tignrs," a celebrated regiment. He
was prrssed into the confederate service at New Or
leans, discharged on account of ill health, came fco
Marietta and died here in 1866. His name was
Charles Frederick Bui k. The other brother was
P. H. Buck, of the United States navy.

A CORRECTION

Under the heading of "Historical Points of In-
terest," the location of the old home of Governor
Return Jonathan Meigs is given, on page 28, as
"No. 312 Putnam street." This is an error, and
should read instead: "No. 326 i'ront street." This
histoiic old mansion faces on City Park.

THE OHIO RIVER BRIDGE.

The great Ohio Kiver Bridge, a sectional view of
which makes up the cover design of this book, and
which is shown more fully in the illustration on page
73, was formally opened for traffic on September
1st, 1903. The first car to cross the bridge was
in charge of President C. H. Shattuck, of the Park-
ersburg, Marietta and Inter-Urban Railway Co., the
actual time of crossing being 4:52 o'clock, on Mon-
day morning August 31st. 1903.

The structure is one of the finest in the Ohio
Valley and was erected at a cost of nearly half a
million dollars. Its length, including approaches,

is neaily three-quarters of a mile. To the highest
point of the bridge it is 160 feet, while it is 82 feet
from the water to the under side, allowing the larg-
est boats to pass beneath, even with a very higa
stage of water. A veiy fine view of the city and
surrounding country may be obtained from the cen-
ter of the biidge, and to the traveler coming from
Parkersburg to Marietta on the Interurban cars after
the electric arches are lighted, the scene presented
as the city is approached, is one of kaleidoscopic
beauty.

THE MUSKINGUM RIVER BRIDGE.

The first bridge over the Muskingum river was
a wooden toll bridge, built about 1858, on the site
of the present railroad bridge. In 1880 the County
built an iron structure at Putnam street and made
it a free bridge. About the same time the railroad
company built a bridge, in the place of the wooden
toll bridge, for trains to cross on. Both these
structures went down with the flood of 1884. The
railroad bridge was immediately rebuilt, the city at-
taching thereto the footbridge. The Putnam street
biidge was raised and replaced in position, but was
torn down in 1900 to make room for the present
handsome steel structure, which was completed in
October, 1900, at a cost of about $90,000.00.

A Free year, also called a solar or Tropical year,
is the exact time in which the earth makes a revo-
lution around the sun, or 365 d., 5 h., 47 ra., 49.7

WILLiAMSTOWN

West Virginia.

West Virginia is -one of the South Atlantic states.
It was admitted to the Union June 19th, 1863. Its
area is 24,'; 80 square miles. "West Virginia is
bounded on the noith by Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, on the east by Maryland and Virginia; on
the south by Viiginia, and on the west by Ken-
tucky and Ohio. The capital of West Virginia is
Charleston.

Williamstown is situated in the northwestern part
of the state, on its border, just across the Ohio
river from Marietta. It is on the line of the Ohij
River Division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The first settlement of V/illiamstown dates back
to the year 1771, when Joseph Tomlinson and Sam-
uel Tomlinson, two brotheis, erected the first cabin.
Williamstown Avas not settled by a colony but re-
mained farm land for many years. The following
extract from the couit records at Clarksburg, W.
Va., is the deposition of Joseph Tomlinson, used 'u
a suit regarding the title of certain lands held by
Williams-Tomlinson :

"I, Joseph, Tomlinson, answer th and saith, that
in the year 1770, Joseph Tomlinson father of res-
pondent, deceased, and Samuel Tomlinson brother
of respondent, decended the river Ohio in search of
land and returned to the state of Maryland, That
in the spring of the year 1771 the said Samuel and
this respondent decended the Ohio river, in order
to settle on lands which the said Samuel had selected
the year before opposite the mouth of the Musking-
um liver. That when respondent and said Samuel
landed the' said Samuel showed this respondent a
tree blazed with the two first letters of his name
marked theron, thus S. T., with gunpowder, and
some other work done thereon. The said Samuel
and this respondent from thence continued and re-
newed the said improvement, which the said Samu3l
claimed. That from time to time and from year
to year respondent and said Samuel, with the help of
Benjamin, a brother of said Samuel, continued to
work, built a good cabin, cleared ground and planted
the fiist corn that ever was raised by rivilized man

119

on or about the iieighborliood of said land, that when
this respondent and -said Samuel visited said land
that he is well assured no other white person had
ever made an impro.:^ment thereon with a view to
settlement. Respondent states that in Feb. 1772
as Mell as he iecolle;.-.r,3 he and Samuel returned to
Maryland where they had heretofore resided for pro
visions and other ne -essities and having supplied
themselves with provisions and farming utensils re-
turned. Respondent further says that himself and
Samuel employed Rebjcca Martin, iheir sister and
then tlie widow of John Martin, deceased, to keep
their cabin and take care of their household property
and to do their washing, cooking, and other services
— that respondent and said Samuel agreed to and
with the said Rebecca for the cooking, labor and ser-
vice to render as afor3said, to select and improve for
her a piece of good laud. That by virtue of said agree
ment and with -an jjitent to fulfill the same they
agreed to set apart flie said cabin and all the im-
provements tliereto belonging, whicl) was done and
performed by this deponent and said Samuel, op-
posite the mouth of the Muskingum River for the
said Rebecca, and conveyed the same to her for the
service she had rendered them aforesaid during her
widowliood as aforesaid and previous to her mar
riage v/ith the co-defendant Isaac Williams. In

consequence of his intermarriage with the said Re-
becca which took place in the year 1775 therafter
claimed and held the land in her right until the sel-
ling of the commissioners for adjusting the titles
of claimants to unpatented lands of Yohogany and
Monongohaly — when in the year 1781 the' said
Isaac and Rebecca, through this respondent present-
ed the I laim lor the improvement opposite the mouth
of the Muskingum to the commissioners. This de-
poneth positively assnts that the settlement made
opposite the mouth of the Muskingum was commenc-
ed by said Samuel in the year 1770 and was con
tinned by the said San^uel and respondent in the
years 1771 and 1772, and afterwards conveyed by
them to Rebecca Martin, their sister. The said Re-
becca cortinued her lighf to said improvement until
her intermarriage with the co-defendant, Isaac Wil-
liams, Avho took the ni!(.essary steps as aforesaid to
protect the title as aforesaid."

At the time that the Tomlinsons made their set-
tlement where Williamstown now s-tands 'that sec-
tion of territory was known as West Augusta Dis
trict. By the division of 1776 it became Mo-
nongalia, and by a later division (Jaly 20, 1784,) :l
-became a part of Harrison county. On May 1,
1799, Wood County, West Virginia, was organized.
The following year, IBOu, it was decided to erect the
Public Buildings of the county on the site known
as Isaac Williams Land. "On the Ohio river, op
posite to the mouth of the Muskingum river, near
where said Williams i;arn now stands." The lo-

120

cation of the County iJuildingci developed consider-
able of a contest, however, and it was finally settled
to build them at "The Point," now railed Parkers
burg.

nence among leaders of his time, as well as filling
public offices of trust.

The first Justice to qualify in Wood County wis
•Hezekiah Bukey. Later he served in the legis
lature for several terms. Bukey was from Ohio

The first named died childless. The other two

brothers left descendants who are numbered among
Williamstown's prominent and most respected citi-
zens.

The following persons own land which has come
to them by direct inheritance from original patents
of Joseph Tomlinson, !;^r. ; Mrs. Drusilla Wanless,
Mrs. Sarah Snodgrass, J A. Kinnaird, J. B. Hender
son and A. T. Henderson.

Drusilla Williams, daughter of Isaac and Rebecca,
married John G. Henderson in 1808 — the following
year lost an infant, and died July 12, 1810. No.
records of deaths earlier than that of Mrs. Hender-
son and her infant although probably some occur-
red.

Joseph Tomlinson gave a farm to his daughter,
Drusilla, wife of Hezekiah Bukey, who came here +0
live in 1798 — also to lis daughter, Mary, wife of J.
A. Kinnaird. a farm — also several hundred acres
to his son, Joseph, who later built the "Tomlinson
brick" just below the town.

The first house (or cabin) was built by Samuel
and Joseph Tomlinson in 1771, and occupied by
them and their sister, Mrs. Rebecca Martin (a wid-
ow.) "Dunsmore's war" in 1774, caused the Tom-
linsons to seek safety at "Wheeling, that being the
nearest Fort.

The next house of which we have record was built
during the winter nnd spring of 1787 Is-
aac "Williams moved his family from Ohio County,
into this house on his wife's land. Here their

daughter, Drusilla, was born Jan. 1788. The old
records say that he was accompanied by several oth-
er families.

"Rebecca Williams was noted for her cures and
her skill in treating wounds. About the year 1784

ed to Winchester, Va. When 18 years old he
was employed by the Government as a ranger or
spy to watch the movements of the Indians for
which his early acquaintance with a hunter's life
fitted him. He was also attached to a party which
guarded the first convoy of provisions to Fort Du
Quesne after its surrender in 1758, after peace was
made in 1765 the count] y on the Monogahela began
to be settled by people east of the mountains. Am-
ong the early emigrants to this region were the
parents of Mrs. Williams, who settled on the wat
ers of Buffalo Cieek near the present town of West
Liberty, W. Va. In 1769 Isaac Williams became
a resident of the western wilds. He became ao
quainted with Rebecca Martin, daughter of Joseph
Tomlinson, of Maryland, then a widow and marrie<J
her in Oct. 1775, her former husband, John Martin,
had been a trader among the Indians and was kill
ed by them in 1770. Rebecca Tomlinson was born
on the 14th of Febniary, 1754 at Wills Creek la
Maryland and removod with her brothers, Samuel
and Joseph, into this western country and lived with
them as their houseiii'eper (opposite the mouth of
Muskingum) also near the mouth of Grave Creek and
for weeks together while they were absent hunting

of all danger."'

THE BOAT HOUSES.

The old boat house, a picturesque structure, built
on the bank of the Muskingum in City Park was
erected in 1880. A more modern Boat House was
built in 1905 by Col. H. D. Knox. It is fitted
up with every appliance for the handling of river
craft of the smaller type and is aTichored off City
Park a short distance above the Putnam street
bridge.

The civil day begins and ends at 12 o'clock mid-
night.

The common year of 365 days comes short of tbe
true year 5 h., 48 m., 49.7 sec, or one day, lacking
only 44 m., 41.2 sec, in four years, so that an ap-
proximate correction of the calendar can be male
by having every fourth year of 366 days, called
leap year.
