In presenting this publication to the Public, we
have to beg the indulgence of our Patrons for any
errors it may contain. Being the first gotten up in
this city, the materials had to be collected from a
thousand different sources, and were procured by
much labor and expense. The publishers who may
succeed us will have the advantage of our Pioneer
Work ; and if we should follow this up next year, as
we hope to, we shall be enabled to present a more
perfect work. This, however, is, in our opinion, as
complete as it is possible to make one, under the cir-
cumstances, and the brief space of time we have had
in which to prepare this.
We have also increased its size beyond what we
contemplated, especially in the Historical Reminis-
cences ; and we here take pleasure in ackno wrledging
the obligations we are under to Dr. Plummeb, for the
PREFACE
very interesting Article he has furnished us. His
ill-health, and the limited space we were enabled to
give him, prevented his doing that justice to the sub-
ject he would have given it under other and more
favorable circumstances,

OF THE
HISTORY OF RICHMOND.
To those who have been entertained by the perusal of
Watson's Annals of Philadelphia and other works of a simi-
lar kind, a reininiscence of the history of Richmond may
not be without interest. It is fit, indeed, that in a publica-
tion like the present, the antecedents of our city should be
made known. To gather up such of the incidents of our
early history, as may yet be accessible, in order to rescue
them from oblivion, by giving them a permanent record, is
the chief object of these pages.
Tracing the Great Miami northward six miles from its en-
trance into the Ohio river, we enter the mouth of the White-
water; and pursuing our way up this stream in a northwest-
erly direction for the distance of twenty miles, we arrive at
a point where the river separates into two branches, which,
running parallel with each other in a northerly direction,
ramify into numerous branches which water the whole of
Wayne county, in Indiana. It is in this county, on the
eastern bank of the east fork of Whitewater that Richmond
is situated; being four miles from the eastern boundary of the
State, sixty-eight miles from Cincinnati, sixty-eight miles from
10 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Indianapolis, forty miles from Dayton, and 102 miles from
Columbus, Ohio.
Previous to the organization of the State, the Delaware
and other Indians, claimed the territory drained by the
Whitewater, as a part of their hunting grounds; and these
natives of the forest lingered for years under the foliage
which then shaded the soil, after the white man had begun
to make his home among them. We have, however, no
stirring incidents of blood-shed and murder to record in our
peaceful annals; and as our limits were not the site of any
battle-scenes we have no occasion to stain our pages with
gory pictures of tomahawks, rifles and falling heroes. The
first settlers of this district were a plain people, addicted to
the art of agriculture, and willing to cultivate friendly feel-
ings with the aboriginals who remained; and I do not know
that they were at any time molested by these children of
the forest.
Indiana territory was separated from that of Ohio, in the
great division of the northwestern cession of land, but Illi-
nois had not been detached from Indiana, when three young
men entered the wild forests of our district, in search of
homes. Their names were Eichard Rue, George Holman
and Joseph Woodkirk. They arrived here in the year 1805.
No incidents of their lives in this new location has come to
my knowledge, except one, presently to be mentioned. It
is to be supposed, however, that they suffered all the usual
privations, hardships and dangers of adventurous pioneers.
Of these it will be our province to speak, in its proper place.
The excepted incident just alluded to, was in the case of
George Holman, who is still living. For six years after his
arrival here, our present worthy friend had lived peaceably
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 11
with all men, for aught the law knew; but in 1811, when men
had multiplied under the shade of the forest, their interests
sometimes appeared to come into conflict; and it was not an
unusual thing at such times, for the parties to decide the
question between themselves, by pugilistic combat. It ap-
pears that it was for some such unlawful mode of settling the
point at issue, that the grand jury of the time found a bill
against George for assault and battery: he was returned
guilty, and fined 12 J cents! He appears to have been one
of the grand jury at this very time; whether he aided in
finding a bill against himself, the record does not say. The
names of this jury are: William Scarce, (foreman,) Samuel
Woods, Thomas M'Coy, J. Keslank, George Holman, J.
Hodges, Samuel Walker, Richard Maxwell, Bennet Starr,
Robert Bennet, John Williams, Aaron Wade, John Ad-
dington, William Meek, Isaac Harvey, Delsuaa Bates, Josi-
ah Easton, Joseph Woodkirk, and William Burk. This is
said to be the first petit-jury trial on our records. The fol-
lowing are the names of the jury who sat on the Holman
ease: John Benton, John Drake, John Armstrong, Nathaniel
Scire, Thomas Bulla, Samuel Hunt, Harvey Druly, David
F. Sacket, Joel Fnrgison, Benjamin Smith, and Jesse Daven-
port. For the foregoing items, I am indebted to a commu-
nication in the Richmond Palladium.

HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 13
The remarkable ages to which these early settlers attained,
speaks well for their habits and the healthfulness of the
country.
FIRST JUDICIARY.
We have already, incidentally, alluded to some of the early
judicial proceedings in Wayne county. This county was or-
ganized in 1810. The first minute book of the court has
recently been hunted up among the archives at Centreville;
and consists of half a quire of old English paper, shaped into
something like a school writing book, without a cover. By
this simple document it appears that the first court was held
"February 25th, 1811," at the house of Richard Rue, three
miles south of Richmond. The Judges were: Peter Flem-
ming, Aaron Martin and Jeremiah Meek; George Hunt was
Clerk; John Turner, Sheriff; and James Noble, Prosecuting
Attorney. The first business of the court was to divide the
county into two townships and appoint overseers of the poor,
constables, &c., for these districts. For the first district
David Railsback and John Shaw were appointed overseers
of the poor; Abraham Gaar, John Collins and Lewis Little,
fence viewers. For the second township, the court appoint-
ed for overseers of the poor, David Gailbraith and George
Smith; for fence viewers, William Foutz, Nathaniel M'Clure
and Robert Hill. Other names of our early settlers appear
on a committee, appointed by this court to adjust the ac-
counts of the overseers of the poor; this committee was:—
David Carson, Timothy Hunt, Samuel Jobe, Jacob Meek,
Elijah Fisher and George Holman.
It was necessary that the court should have a Seal; and
the one adopted at this time was in perfect keeping with the
14 REMINISCENCES OF THE
simplicity of the day. It consisted, according to the des-
cription given, of "a wafer and a piece of paper turned over
it, with the letters Wayne County written thereon."
The first session of the court lasted but one day. At the
second meeting on the 11th of the next month, a grand jury
was for the first time, empanneled in Wayne county. By the
researches of our friend John B. Stitt, from whose commu-
nications to the Eichmond Palladium in 1852, 1 have ob-
tained the foregoing information, we are also furnished with
the names of the members of this first grand inquest of
Wayne county. They are as follows: Jesse Davenport, Da-
vid Foutz, Joseph Cox, Charles Wright, John Burk, Wright
Lancaster, Eobert Gailbraith, Isaac Williams, John Smith,
Benjamin Small, John Townsend, John Burgess, William
Blount, Michael Snider, Peter Weaver, Benjamin Harvey,
Joshua Meek, John Beard, Benjamin Jarvis, James Gordon,
Harvey Miller, Lewis Little, and William Graham, — twenty
in number.
At a time, says the MS. of David Hoover, when the court
was assembled in the woods near Richard Eue's, "a boy was
indicted for stealing a knife; a traverse jury was empanneled,
and took their seats upon a log. The indictment was read,
and as usual, set out that the boy did, with force and arms,
feloneously steal, take and carry away, &c. Jeremiah Cox,
afterward a member of the Constitutional Convention and a
member of the Legislature, and one of the subsequent pro-
prietors of Richmond, was on the jury. He considered the
boy guilty; but he thought that the indictment was rather
too 'bold' for so small an offense." We are not informed
how this case terminated.
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 15
CIVIL DISTRICTS.
It 13 presumed that the reader of these early incidents does
not contemplate Wayne county as confined to its present
narrow limits of about 400 square miles; boundaries in that
day had great latitude. In the year 1800, Indiana territory
did not hold more than 5000 inhabitants and consisted of
but three counties: Knox, Wayne and St. Clair. Knox
county corered most of our present State of Indiana; Wayne
county included the principal part of Michigan, and St.
Clair embraced the present State of Illinois. As the popu-
lation of the territory increased, the limits of the several
counties were contracted; and other counties formed. At
the time of the early settlement of this district, say about
1811 when the first court was held, Wayne county extend-
ed from Franklin county northward along the Ohio State
boundary on the east, and line of purchase made at Fort
Wayne in 1809 on the west, to Ft. Recovery.— And accord-
ing to an old work published in 1817, called "The Western
Gazetteer or Emigrant's Directory," Wayne county is said to
be bounded "on the east by the State of Ohio, on the south
by the county of Franklin, on the west and north by Indian
lands." In 1815, it constituted one of the thirteen counties
into which Indiana was then divided. Its population at that
time was 6,290, five other counties exceeding it in the num-
ber of their inhabitants. The whole population of Indiana
territory in 1815 did not reach 70,000.
FIR ST VILL AGES.
By the act of the territorial legislature which organized
Wayne county in 1810, "John Cox, George Holman and
John Adenton, Gr«ntlemen," were appointed commissioners to
16 REMINISCENCES OF THE
meet and locate the county seat on or before "the first Mon-
day of the following May,'' and until this was done, and a
court-house completed, the court was to meet at the house
of Richard Rue, Esq. In the language of John B, Stitt:
"At the June terra 1811, the Commissioners appointed by
an act of the Legislature having failed to discharge their
duty according to law, in selecting a seat of justice lor the
county, the court declared their duties ended, and appointed
in their stead Samuel Walker, Richard Maxwell and Benja-
min Harris. These Commissioners were ordered to proceed
immediately to the discharge of their duties. On the third
day of the term the Commissioners made a report: 'That
the permanent seat of Justice is and shall be on the donation
of Samuel Woods, of sixty-five acres in the 13th township,
range 3d, with a small reserve.' The court after confessing
the report, ordered it to be entered as received by the Clerk
'That the town in Wayne, or the seat of Justice, shall be
called Salisbury.' Having obtained both a location and a
name, the next thing was to build a town. Smith Hunt,
Samuel Woods and James Brown were appointed trustees to
lay off the lots, and Andrew Woods and John Meek, sen., to
superintend the building of a jail and estray pen — all, as a
matter of course, under the direction of the court. I do not
find on the minutes of the court an order for the erection of a
court house, but at the October session of 1811, 1 find the fol-
lowing singular entry, to-wit: 'At a County Court held at the
house of Richard Rue, Esq,, on the 28th of October, 1811, it
opened, &c., and the court having been previously informed
that the courthouse was raised, the court therefoie adjourn-
ed to sit one hour in the court house in the town of Salis-
bury. Accordingly the court met at the court house in the
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 17
town of Salisbury in the county of Wayne on the aforesaid
28th day of October and proceeded,' &c." Such was the
origin of Salisbury, the first town laid out in Wayne county.
The high destiny anticipated for the new village may be in-
ferred froaa the following inscription found on the back of
the recorded plat of the town, in the handwriting of George
Hunt, ac that time clerk and recorder of the county: "The
town of Salisbury stands on a beautiful site on the waters
of Clear creek, W. 0., I. T., (Indiana Territory,) in a fine
neighborhood, environed by rich land, &c., &c. No better
water in the world — the air salubrious; and its elevated situ-
ation commands an extensive and beautiful prospect. And
we flatter ourselves that in a few years, Art, with her sister
Industry, will convert it from a forest to a flourishing, inland
town. Several gentlemen of property have purchased lots,
both in the mercantile and mochatiical line, which will greatly
enhance its value." A log, and afterward brick court house
were erected, as soon as the town was laid out; and a log jail
was built. Turning to the Emigrant's Guide, by S. R. Brown,
I find the following paragraph, pertaining to the year 1816:
"Salisbury — Lies 30 miles north of Brookville; contains
about thirty-five houses, two stores and two taverns. It is
at present the seat of justice for Wayne county; but Centre-
ville, a near village, being more central, threatens to become
its competitor for that privilege." It will be observed that
not one word is said about Kichmond: it was yet to appear
on the arena.
The career of Salisbury was short. It attained a few
hundred inhabitants. But the legislature in 181 6 authorized
the removal of the seat of justice to Centreville; and then
commenced the downfall of Salisbury, in the midst of bitter
18 REMINISCENCES OF THE
strife between the Oentreville and Salisbury parties; the one
to retain, the other to procure the county seat. All that
could be said on either side, was brought to bear upon the
subject: the sickliness of the respective places, the conve-
nient and inconvenient location, the population, future pros-
pects, expenses incurred, &c., were among the points canvas-
sed. It was the opinion of William Steele, a burly citizen
of Salisbury, its chief politician, a legislator, a colonel, a
"New-Light" preacher and a cabinet maker, that Salisbury
was destined to become another Moscoiv. This declara-
tion was received with so much jeer by the opposite party,
that the term Moscow for awhile bid fair to supplant that
of Salisbury. We will not dwell upon this controversy.
Salisbury is no more; the bricks of the court house were
sold and brought to Kichmond, and lie quietly in the walls
of the house at the south-east corner of Main and Pearl
streets, and in those of the building on lot No. 18, South
Front street. And some of our respectable citizens are now
within the logs of the old court house, which were brought
to Richmond, and re-erected and weather-boarded, and con-
stitute the building on North Pearl street, on lot No. 18. —
Before the county seat could be legally removed, the trustees
of Centreville were to erect, without any expense to the
county, a court house, jail and estray pen in the town, on or
before the "1st day of August, 1817, of the same dimensions
and as well finished as those of Salisbury." On failure to do
this the county seat was to remain where it was. Extremely
short as the time was, to accomplish so much, the build-
ings were all up in due season; some of the citizens of Cen-
treville subscribing ten to fifteen hundred dollars toward
their erection.
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 19
The next spring (1818) the court was held at Centreville.
But only one year afterward, the question was brought be-
fore the court whether Salisbury or Centreville was the legal
county seat. The presiding judge, John Watts, was absent.
The associate judges, McLean and Davenport were of the
opposite parties in this matter; their decision was "that the
seat of Justice was permanently established at Salisbury,
that the act of December 21st, 1816, not having a sufficient
repealing clause, has not removed it; but that the act of
January 28th, 1818, authorized the court to hold their pro-
tempore session in the town of Centreville, until the legisla-
ture should otherwise direct." And as the Legislature has
never otherwise directed, the court has been held "temporari-
l}-" at Centreville ever since.
It is thus seen that both Salisbury and Centreville were
established before Richmond; besides these two, I believe
there are no others in the county that have a priority to
this city. Centreville was laid out in the year 1814.
RICHMOND
was plotted in 1816. For nearly ten years, maize and
small grain had waved over the fields patented to John Smith
and Jeremiah Cox. It was thought their grounds would
furnish a good foundation for a town. The suggestion was
made by the former to the latter; but Jeremiah was not, at
that time, prepared to engage in the scheme . "I would rather
see a buck's tail,'' said he, "than a tavern sign.'' He had no
relish for towns at all events; although he afterward became
part proprietor of one. Notwithstanding this unwillingness
to co-operate on the part of one of the land owners, David
Hoover, who is still living, and who was then about thirty-
20 REMINISCENCES OF THE
six years of age, proceeded to lay out the land of John
Smith aloug Front and Pearl streets; an;! thid was the ex-
tent of the town plat at that time. It is well that we are
thas looking into the cariy history of Richmond. For re-
cent as the facts comparatively are, it is already said that
Richmond was begun in 1818. The truth appears to be that
that part of tovva lying south of Main street, (then a sec-
tion line and dividing the lands of John Smith and Jeremiah
Cox,) was laid out in 1816; and as it appears, from the form
of the lots, without regard to the variation of the magnetic
needle. Two years afterward (1818) Jeremiah Cox made his
addition on the north side of Main street. Perhaps some of
our uninitlat3i citizens may hereafter enquire why our pres-
ent north Front street was run along the brow of the hill at
an acute angle of 47 ° with Main street. We have it in our
power to satisfy the enquiry. At that time there ran
along the edge of the hill, a county road, the first perhaps
laid out in Wayne cou'ity. As no sjlauuid anticipations of
future greatne s were entertained for the new town by its
proprietors, no provisions were made for coming necessities;
but the conveniences of the present were the ruling princip'e.
To continue south Front street directly north would run it
into wet grounds, unsuitable for a street and unsuitable for
building lots; besides the street would ultimately run into
the river. On the hill was a road already established; no
ground would again have to be relinquished for a street;
forty feet was probably the width of the road, and that was
sufficiently wide for the wants of the town. Lots were ac-
cordingly laid out along this road; and the corners of Main
and Front streets became important points. These are the
oldest streets, and for a long while were the only ones in

RichmonJ. The writer remembers ihem well, as among his
earliest impressions of the village
By tlie industry of our friend John B. Stitt, we are en-
abled to present the reader with an exact copy of the origin-
al proceedings of the citizens with regard to the propriety
of incorporating the to^n. "Agreeably," say they, "to an
Act of the Legislature of the State of Indiana, passed Janu-
ary Ist, 1817, the citizens of the town of Richmond con-
vened on the 1st of the ninth month (September, 1818,) at
the house of Thomas & Justice, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether they wished Sii.id town incorporated, and pursu-
ant made choice of Thomas Swain, President, and Ezra Bos-
well, Clerk, who after being legally qualified, entered on the
discharge of their duties, and taking the state of the poles,
it appeared that there were twenty- four votes in favor of in-
corporatiug and none against it. TIIO. SWAIN, Pres't.
"Attest: Ezra Boswell, Clerk." |
Two weeks afterward, the record runs: "At a meeting of
the town of Richmond for the election of Trustees at the
house of Thomas <fe Justice, on the 14th of ninth month
(September, 1818,) it appeared, on comparing the state of
the poles, that Ezra Boswell, Thomas Swain, Robert Morris-
sion, John McLane, and Peter Johnson, were duly elected.
"THOMAS SWAIN, Pres't.
"Attest: Ezra Boswell, Clerk."
Some idea of the number of inhabitants then in Richmond
may be deduced from the votes taken at this meeting. In a
case of this importance to the rising village, it is probable
that the whole adult male population would be present. —
The number present appears to have been twenty-four, a I
22 REMINISCENCES OF THE
voting one way. Allowing a wife and two children only, to
each, it would bring up the number to nearly one hundred
citizens; allowing three children to a family, the population
would be 120; and allowing four and five children to each
family, the population would be respectively 144 and 168. —
To say there were at that time between one and two hun-
dred citizens would perhaps be a safe deduction. In 1849^
according to an estimate in the manuscript of Dr. Carrol,
already cited, the population was 350; and five years later
the population was 452; and these are perhaps the earliest
records of the population now to be obtained.
The "house of Thomas & Justice" thus brought into notice
by the foregoing documents, was a new frame building erect-
ed at the north-east corner of Main and Front streets, (where
a three story brick now stands,) and was designed for a store,
though then unoccupied. Thomas and Justice were carpen-
ters. Stephen Thomas died near Eichmond not many years
since. William Justice is also dead. Of the five trustees
named, two are still living, Eobert Morrisson and Peter John-
son. Our older citizens will remember Ezra Boswell, the
brewer, with his mutilated eye; and John McLane, the
blacksmith, with his ample physical frame. Thomas Swain,
President of the meeting, was a dark-skinned, stooped-
ehouldered man, and a man of solid sense.
Such was the beginning of Richmond. From the MS.
history of David Hoover, it appears that the town was first
called Smithsville, after the name of the proprietor; "but
the name not giving general satisfaction," says the writer,
"Thomas Roberts, James Pegg and myself were chosen to
select another. Roberts proposed Waterford, Pegg, Plain-
field, and I, Richmond. — And the last was approved by the
lot-holders."
HISTORY OF RICHMOND, 23
THE NATURAL ADVANTAGES
of the country were the same at that day as they are now.
The county abounded in water-power; not less than ten or
twelve streams coursing their way through it southward.
At Richmond, not only did the main fork offer its mill-seats
to the man of enterprise, but, dividing into three branches
just north of the town, called East, West and Middle Forks,
the amount of water-power was greatly multiplied. Not-
withstanding these facilities, they availed but little to the
early settlers, for want of capital to improve them. A man-
uscript of the present writer, penned some years ago, says,
under the head of
MILLS AND PRIVATIONS.
" Until 1807, the early emigrants procured their flour at
Germantown, Ohio, or at some other distant settlement in
the Miami Valley; but they often crushed their corn by
various mechanical means into a very coarse meal, and sub-
sisted upon that and wild honey. In the year just named,
a ' tub-miir was erected by Jeremiah Cox, where the present
oil-mill stands — what is now an oil-mill being built a few
years afterward on the ruins of the tub-mill — and for many
years ground most of the grain of the country. Wm. Bulla
also erected a small mill on the Middle Fork, but it was an
ephemeral structure, and not a vestige of it remains to tell
its locality. A saw-mill was built by Jeremiah Cox, on the
west side of the river, and south of Newman's Creek; the
second one, perhaps, where Benj . Moore now lives (1844),
and another on Elkhorn. David Hoover, writing his recol-
lections of 1807, says that, for want of a mill, they grated
24 REMINISCENCES OF THE
all the corn they used in the form of meal, for six weeks.
'About Christmas, Charles Hunt started a corn-cracker,
near the mouth of Elkhorn, which did most of our grinding
until Jeremiah Cox erected one near where Richmond now
stands.'
"I well remember a slender fabric, erected by Philip
Ilarter, and called a ' Carding machine,' which stood like a
man on lon^ stilts in the ravine north of the soap factory.
The building marked n in Dewey's 'Plot of the City of Rich-
mond,' &c, was erected in 1837, by Samuel Smith, father of
[the late] Dr. Smith, for a paper-mill; his death placed this
building in the hands of others who converted it to other
purposes.
" A year or two after I came here," said a settler of 1817,
"there was no corn in the country, in consequence of frosts;
and I raised a crop that year, by plowing a little while, then
snatching up the hoe, and hoeing away St to kill, while my
horse picked grass in the fence corner; then, when I couldn't
stand it any longer, I'd hitch up my horse again, and plow;
and so, plowing, hoeing and feeding every hour or two, I
raised a first-rate crop; but my horse got very poor, living
on wild grass only."
Among my memoranda, I find the following item of these
early times, under the head of
EARLIEST CLEARINGS.
"The first opening in the forest was made by Woodkirk, on
the land now owned by Charles W. Starr, near where Jere-
miah Cox built his brick house. It was a very small clear-
ing. Next year (1807), John Smith cleared several acres,
bounded on the north by a fence running along the section
line, where Main-street now is, and on the west by another
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 25
fence running nearly parallel with what is now Front-street.
In the same year (1807), ten acres were opened north of
Main-street, on conditions that the laborers should have the
proceeds of the land for twelve years."
The first entry of lands within the limits of this county
was made by Peter Flemming and Joseph Wasson, in the
winter of 1804; the next by Andrew Endsley, in the summer
of 1805, and by Peter Smith in the winter of the same year.
Among the subjects of interest to the pioneers of a coun-
try, are the
PUBLIC ROADS AND CONVEYANCES.
"The first settlers," say my Notes, "opened a road, in the
Fall of 1806, to the vicinity where Paris (Preble Co., Ohio,)
now stands. This was the beginning of their route to Cin-
cinnati. Their object in going to this point, so much aside
from a direct line to the city, was to avail themselves of a
road opened by David Purviance, James Flemming, and
others, from that place (where they resided) to Cincinnati.
"In the course of the summer of 1807, however, the pio-
neers established a nearer route, running to Eaton into
Wayne's Trace, which led to Hamilton.
"A county road was early established along the lands of
Jeremiah Meek, Alex. Grimes, &o., down the hill-side to
Cox's Mill, and thence up the ravine between Boat-hill and
Buhl's brewery; the land on which Richmond stands then
having no roads passing over it."
It was considered a great advance in our intercourse with
the world, when, in 1847-8, a four and six-horse omnibus
connected us with Cincinnati. Competition for a short time
reduced the fare to 50 cents a passenger; but, in 1849,
26 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Vorhees & Go.'s line only running, the fare was fixed at
$1 50.
We have already said that in the year 1824 Richmond con-
tained 453 inhabitants. The writer remembers that at that
time there were "croakers" among us, as they are technically
called; and the language of these was: '"Richmond has
reached its zenith — there is nothing to keep it up — you'll
now see it begin to decline." The more hopeful citizens
pointed to the abundant water-power everywhere around us;
to the fertile lands; the crystal waters of our springs and
wells; the healthfulness of the location; the improving
society; the moral character of the population; the mate-
rials for building — stone, brick-clay, lumber, lime and sand.
" What more," said these contented ones', " could a reason-
able man desire?" "All this is true," replied the croakers;
" but when you have raised your corn and your hogs, and
ground your grain, how are you to get out from here to a
market ?" The more sanguine inhabitant looked forward to
better roads; yet he hardly knew how they were to come.
Cincinnati was the chief market; the wagon was loaded up
with the produce of the country— linsey-wolsey, tow-linen,
flax-linen, beeswax, beans, ginseng, feathers, rags, lard, sugar,
butter, hogs, flour, &c.; and, according to the state of the
roads, two or three days were spent in getting to the city,
and as many in returning home. High waters and muddy
roads would often cause the printers to stop the press, for
want of his ream of paper or keg of ink, and the merchant
to curtail his sales, for want of goods. The ardently looked
for wagon would sometimes not arrive for one or two weeks.
But still, Richmond continued slowly to improve; and the
next record of its population we find was made in 1826,
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 27
when it was 648 (IG being colored persons). In the year
1827, it reached 716—380 males; 293 females; 43 colored
persons. In 1828, it numbered 824 citizens — of these, there
were 427 white males, 347 white females, and 50 colored
persons. And now a
NEW ERA
was about to dawn upon Richmond, and the croaker's
voice to be silenced for a time. Many hearts were made
glad when the Public Leger, in 1828, made the following
announcement:
"National Road. — Mr. Knight has completed the loca-
tion to this place, which is 4 miles, 26 chains, 17 links, from
the State line. He is now engaged between this and Cen-
treville, which is also made a point. He thinks it probable
that he will locate as far as Vandalia, the capital of Illinois,
the present season."
And the State pride of our citizens was not a little exalted
when they read, in Jonathan Knight's Report of his survey,
that he had " never passed through a greater extent of uni-
formly rich land, than on the route through Indiana. It is
well watered," he continues, "'as may be inferred from the
maps, and from the estimates of the bridge-work." The
whole estimated cost of bridging and masonry was given at
1313,099 00; the whole length of the road across the State
was 149| miles. The Report was read with avidity by our
little population, and the following notice with pleasure:
" From the State line, the road " proceeds, by a very
direct route, over an undulating surface, to Richmond, a
thriving and respectable village, situate on the east side of
the' east fork of Whitewater, in Wayne county, about four
and a-half miles from the State line."
28 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Richmond was soon to breathe more freely, east and west,
along this noble National Road. It wag now admitted,
even by those who looked on the dark side of the slowly
progressive village, that Richmond would receive a tempo-
rary impulse by the construction of this great thoroughfare,
Little did any of us then dream of well-made turnpikes
leaving Richmond at almost every point of the compass, and
of railroads, connecting us with all the large cities around
us — and, indeed, with nearly all the large cities of the vast
Union. That day, however, was advancing. Meanwhile,
the Public Leger was not idle in stimulating the citizens to
make the place more and more desirable as a residence.
We give the following sample of an editorial in 1827:
"YiLLAGE Impeovement. — The streets of our village,
though considerably improved last year, yet require much
labor to render them complete, In a number of places,
after rain, water stands until evaporation carries it off.
This is not only disgusting to the sight, but it is injurious to
health. Such things ought not to be in a village improving
in other respects as this is. It belongs to the appropriate
officers to take the lead; and then individuals, no doubt, will
contribute their exertions. Beside the improvements of the
streets, there are other subjects worthy the attention of the
citizens. Shade-trees afford so delightful a prospect, so
much enhance the beauty and interest of a place, and are
withal so wholesome, that every owner of a lot should set
them out in front of it. The labor and expense would be
trifling.
Protection against fire is much needed. Built, as the
houses principally are, of wood, a single fire might sweep at
once the promising village into ruins. All these subjects
are worthy of attention, and ought to be acted upon."
These suggestions were not lost upon the community.
Here and there an improvement was made in the streets.
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 29
pavements, houses and lots, as means admitted. Shade-trees
began to be olanted out; but as for "protection against
fire," it was thought that care would have to supply the
place of fire-engines, while the town was so poor. Fires,
indeed, were rare; and when they did occur, it was as often
from lightning as otherwise. One or two incendiary in-
stances are within the recollection of the writer, as well as a
stable or so consumed by lightning. But, combustible as
the materials of the houses were, no neighboring buildings
took fire, and no serious conflagration has ever occurred in
Richmond.
Previous to thid, the difficulties of
COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE
may be partially inferred from the following memorandum,
made by the present writer some years ago:
"In 1810, Bacon sold at 2)^ cents per lb.; Corn, 20 to
25 cents per bushel — but there was a season of great
scarcity, when it sold at $1 25 per bushel— perhaps in 1819.
Sugar was manufactured from the sugar-tree in large quan-
tities, and sold here at 3, 4 and 6 cents per lb., while hogs-
heads of it were taken to the South in exchange for raw
cotton, which, being in great demand here, was woven by
the women, and the fabrics brought to the stores here to
sell. Butter for a long time sold at 3, 4 and 6 cents per lb;
Wheat, at 37)^ to 50 cents; Oats, in 1820, were 8 cents per
bushel; Apples, at the earliest periods, were brought from
Redstone, Pa., by way of Cincinnati, and sold at %\ to
%\ 50 per bushel. 'Many a time,' said an old woman,
' have I paid Robert Morrisson fifty cents a-yard for muslin,
which can now be bought for eight and ten cents, and I
30 REMINISCENCES OF THE
paid for it, too, with butter and sugar at six cents a
pound.'
"John Smith commenced a store in a log building, near
his present brick house, in 1810. Robert Morrisson began
another in 1814, in a frame building on lot No. 1 of Cox's
sale. He afterwards effected an arrangement with John
Smith, to enter into co-partnership; but before his goods
were removed into the new store (a frame house on lot No. 1,
Smith's side,) his own building, with nearly all its contents—
$500 worth — was consumed by fire. Smith & Morrisson
finally dissolved, and a new firm was established, under the
title of Smith & Frost. Their store was kept in the building
on Pearl-street, lot 45. Frost (Edward) afterward kept a
store on front-street, lot 33, in the present frame building,
which was also occupied by my father, in 1823, for the same
purpose.
"'I used to take in eight or ten barrels of country sugar
a-day,' said one of these merchants; there was an abundance
made here at that time. I recollect sending much to Ken-
tucky and Tennessee, and exchanging it profitably for cot-
ton. I once sent three wagon-loads to Lexington, Ky.' "
Books, in that day, appear to have been as inaccessible
and as scarce as cotton. "A copy of Clarkson's Portraiture
of Quakerism being offered for sale here," said Robert Hill
to the writer, " at one dollar a volume (3 volumes), as I
was too poor to buy it, Jeremiah Cox and I agreed to take
it together, he buying two of the volumes, and I the other."
Another early necessity of a thriving village is a
TAN- YARD.
Two of these were established here in 1818: the first by
John Smith, for the benefit of Joseph Wilmot, a dwarfish
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 31
Englishman, and the other by Robert Morrisson. Smith's
tan-yard was near his dwelling, and is now owned by the
Wigginses. Morrisson's once boasted 70 vats, and was on
Main-street, north side, between Washington and Green
streets. It was discontinued many years ago.
I quote again from my own manuscripts of 1848.
STREETS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
In one of my old almanacs I find the following memoran-
dum: "1826 — this year gutters were made on the sides of
the streets, and they were otherwise improved." Until this
period, the streets furnished pasture for our rambling cattle.
Perhaps, here and there might be seen a short row of rough
curb-stones, intended to separate a few loads of tanbark, or
of gravel, or some equally rough flat stones from the streets;
but in general, sidewalks and streets were one. And where
gutters were ploughed, where some day curb-stones might
be, quite a lively emotion was created in the minds of the
townspeople, who flocked to the line of internal improve-
ment, and discussed the advantages of having suitable drains
for the water. To cross a street in that day in wet weather
was a formidable undertaking.
Horse-racks, of materials and structure, in perfect keeping
with the humble pretensions of the village, stood a yard or
two in the streets, or a foot or two on the sidewalk, accord-
ing to the taste or convenience of the owner. And in 1826,
when the "mashal," (Isaac Beeson, the potter,) was ordered
to cut down all the racks which trespassed upon the streets,
if not removed within a given time, the question was raised
by those immediately interested in the case, whether the town
authorities had not transcended their legitimate powers in
32 REMINISCENCES OF THE
thus dealing with the "hitching places;" but oa the day ap-
pointed, when the officer appeared with his axe to lay low
one of the lawless racks, (he and the owner very amicably
acting in sly concert to alarm the unwilling ones,) mattocks
and spades speedily came to the rescue of the threatened
structures; and the posts were forthwith dug up, and after-
ward replanted at the ordained distance from the lots.
BUILDINGS.
When the proprietor, John Smith, erected his large brick
house in 1811 — now standing on Market street, west of
Front— it was considered the most spacious building in the
territory. He showed rae, in 1826, on the adjoining lot, his
first humble cabin, and the log store house hard by, in which
he formerly sold goods to the Indians; and remarked with
a. smile, that the celebrated warrior Tecumseh, yet owed
him a 'coon-skin, for a balance due on some ammunition. —
On my lot (No. 18,) at the south-west corner south Front
street, there stood in 1828 a low log house, twelve by
eight feet, occupied originally perhaps as a dwelling place,
then as a smith's shop;* and afterwards again as a potter's
dwelling house. The pottery was a long frame building im-
mediately opposite; it was torn down about the year 1824,
having been occupied by Eleazar Hiatt, Isaac Beeson, Geo.
Bell, (a mulato,) and John Scott; all of whom are now liv-
ing, except the last, who died of cholera spasmodica in 1833.
The house on the north-west corner of Front and Walnut
streets is one of the oldest buildings in the town; and was
built and occupied by William Williams, who used the log
*0n the south-east quarter of lot Ko. 18, is yet to be seen the soil black-
ened by the dust of an old "coal pit" which was formed upon the spot.
HISTORY OP RICHMOND. 33
cabia on my lot for his smith shop; it formerly had a long
porch ia froQt, and a stone chimney stood outsido at the
north end of the hoase. The subsequent repairs have great-
ly concealed its former antiquated appearance. The frame
hoase too, north of me on lot fifteen, is one of kindred age;
and once had a sort of porch-floor extending over the side-
walk and forming a pavement for the passing citizen, as well
as dry resting place, for those who chose to sit and talk.^
I hold in distinct remembrance the old log meeting house of
1823, standing near the site of the present large brick one.
I remember its leaky roof, letting the rain through upon the
slab benches with three pair of legs and no backs; its char-
coal fires kept in sugar-kettles; (for as yet . stoves were not
procured;) and the toes pinched with cold, of the young who
sat remote from the kettles. Happily for the inmates, the
air entered the room through numberless crevices of no
small dimensions, or the whole congregation might have
been suffocated by the baleful fires. In 1827 was consumed
by fire a log building on lot six, put up in 1816 for a tavern,
by Philip Harter, who kept entertainment in it. This was
the first inn. In the present year (1848) David Hoover
pointed to the log building on Charles W. Starr's farm,
near the tan-yard on Fifth street, and remarked that that was
the Jlrst hewed log house put up in town, now twenty-two
years old.
THE FIRST BREWERY
in Richmond was commenced by Ezra Boswell (already
named), about the time the town was incorporated. Of the
quality of the beer we have now no opportunity of forming
a judgment; but it is said that some of the Councilmen of
34 REMINISCENCES OF THE
that day — who, of course, served their fellow-citizens gratui-
tously— one day sent to Ezra for some of his brewing; and,
we presume, they quaffed it until they were satisfied; but,
like all men in place, they, by this simple act, subjected
themselves to the tongue of slander. By the citizens, who
took it upon themselves to watch over the pecuniary inter-
ests of the place, a rumor was set afloat that the Councilmen
were drinking beer at the expense of the corporation. The
price of beer, sold at taverns, was in that day fixed by the
court at 12^ cents a quart; while the same authority rated
whisky, per half-pint, at 12^ cents; the same quantity of
common brandy, at 18| cents, and cognaic, rum and wine
were to be sold at 37^ cents by the half pint. The care of
the Court in this particular is further evinced by their allow-
ing George Hunt, clerk, a certain sum for the purchase of
whisky, during the sale of lots in Salisbury.
WILD ANIMALS.
The squirrel, in these early days, not only furnished many
a meal for the resident, but they abounded to a degree that
made them a nuisance, and the farmer was glad to invite the
sportsman from town to visit his corn-fields, which were
seriously molested by these nimble depredators every year.
Other quadruped vermin also often annoyed his farm-yard.
Wolves were a source of much anxiety and trouble, as well
as loss. It is curious to find a record on the minutes of the
Court, allowing Robert Morrison one dollar and a half for
two wolf-skins. Bears were sometimes killed; and, even so
late as 1827, according to a paragraph in the Public Leger
(a newspaper hereafter to be noticed), several of these ani-
mals visited the vicinity of Richmond; and "their appear-
1386391
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 35
aace,"say3 the editor, "has roused the spirits of some of our
sportsmen, who seem disposed to pay them all appropriate
respect."
THE FIRST POST OFFICE
was established in 1818, and Robert Morrisson received the
first commission as Postmaster. He opened the ofiBce in a
frame building, at the southwest corner of Main and Front
streets, where he also kept a store. The ofKce and store
were afterward removed to the northwest coiner of Main
and Pearl streets, also in a frame building, which was recent-
ly moved along Pearl-street, and now stands opposite to the
Warner Building. Robert Morrisson held the ofiBce till
1829, when he resigned, and the appointment passed into
the hands of Daniel Reid, who for a while taught school in
the neighborhood. These individuals are still living.
Robert Morrisson informs me that the mail at that early
period was brought here on horseback, once in two weeks,
according to stipulation; but that, in consequence of high
water (and the streams were not then bridged), and impass-
ably muddy roads, the post-boy sometimes did not arrive for
four or five weeks. The returns, made quarterly, amounted
to two or three dollars, contrasting strangely with the pre-
sent net proceeds of the office, these being, in the year 1856,
$1,407 13.
THE FIRST TAVERN,
which the writer remembers, stood at the northeast corner
of Main and Pearl streets, with the sign of a " Green Tree,"
and was kept by Jonathan Bayles. (From a memoradum
in possession of the writer, it appears that there was an
36 REMINISCENCES OF THE
earlier inn, kept by Philip Harter, in a log building, in 1816,
on lot No. 6, south Pearl-street, and already alluded to.)
Another, of later date, was on Front-street, near the south-
west corner of Main, and was kept by Ephraim Lacey. The

were one — — Hardy, who boarded at Ephraim Lacey'a
tavern, and walked the pavement (such as it was), with his
thumbs stuck in the arm-holes of his vest, and his head
pompously thrown back, spouting the phrase, "Quifacitjper
aUum,facit per se;" but still no business came, and he con-
cluded "to go farther south, where merit was better re-
warded."
John D. Vaughan was here before the year 1828, and
died of cholera in 1833. He was from Wilmington, Dela-
ware. In 1826, John B. Chapman advertises himself in the
Public Leger, as (" late of Virginia,") "Attorney and Coun-
sellor at Law," &c.t
The late Charles W. Starr signifying to one of our law-
yers that he thought, as a class, they were of little service to
a community, the lawyer sharply replied: "Why, then, do

" that I would use a dung-fork — to pitch a nuisance out of
the way, which I would not handle with my own fingers!"
THE FIRST DOCTORS.
One " Dr. Cushman"' is said to have come to Richmond
in 1820, and to have lived here a few years. He was a
lame man, says an informant, and he opened a distillery at
the south part of town, on the side of the hill on Front-
street, near a spring. A large portion of the inhabitants at
that time being Friends (commonly called Quakers), this
enterprise did not succeed, and the establishment passed into
the hands of Dr. Warner, who also soon abandoned it, and
it went down to rise no more. Dr. Cushmau returned to
Fort Wayne, whence he came, and where he was an asso-
ciate judge.
Dr. Warner was the principal physician in this place for
many years. It is by his liberality the city is now in pos-
session of what has been called, and is still familiarly known
as, the "Warner Building." The following obituary notice
of this physician will not only mark the date of his death,
but throw a little light (perhaps enough,) upon the charac-
ter of the man, as he lived among us, to satisfy the reader.
The Palladium, in which the notice appeared, is dated
"March 14th, 1835:"
"We would gladly have been spared the painful occasion
requiring the announcement of the death of one of our oldest
and most useful citizens. On Tuesday last. Dr. Ithamee
Warner departed this life, after an illness of a few days,
aged about fifty-two years. Having resided in this county
since 1815, where he has had an immense practice in his
profession, and by industry and economy accumulated a
38 REMINISCENCES OF THE
handsome fortune, he of course became generally known,
and with the exception of some peculiarities in his disposi-
tion, which occasionally gave offence, he was highly esteemed.
Imperfection is stamped on humanity — none can claim ex-
emption from it, but it is not derogatory to our remaining
citizens to say, that very few if any of them would be more
missed if taken from this community, than he who has gone
down to the grave, without child to mourn a father's exit, or
bosom companion to wail a widow's bereavement."
Though not an alumnus of any college, Dr. Warner was a j
man of strong natural abilities, physically and mentally. His
place of nativity was New England. He never married.
Dr. William Pugh was a small man, in feeble health. He
removed to Oenterville about the year 1821, where he soon
after died.
Dr. James R. Mendenhall, who is yet living, commenced
practice in this place in the year 1822, and retired from the
profession in 1830. He was the first graduate of medicine
who settled here.
According to written information furnished to the pre-
sent writer, at his request some years since, and now before
him, Dr. Thomas Carroll, who is now practicing in Cincin-
nati, settled in Richmond in the year 1819, and left early in
1823. Dr. Carroll was probably the first physician in Rich-
mond.
NEWSPAPERS .
The first newspaper published in Richmond, was called
the Richmond IVeekly Intelligencer. It was a small sheet,
issued every Seventh day. At what time this paper was be-
gun, I have now no means of ascertaining; but a number
was certainly published so early as 12th mo. 29th, 1821.* —
*A printing office was established here about 3cl mo. 20th, 1821, from
which a respectable paper, called the "Richmond Weekly Intelligencer,"
was issued, on a royal sheet. It was discontinued 3d mo., 1824, and the
"Public Leger" established.
HISTORY OF RICHMOND. 39
The printing office was on Front street in one of the upper
rooms of the frame building on lot No. 8, next the alley. —
The editor was Elijah Lacy; who had associated with him
as publisher John Scott, afterward Judge, and editor of the
Western Emporium, published at Centreville, the county
seat.
The second periodical was the Public Leger, the first
number of which is dated "Saturday, March 6, 1824." It
was edited and published by Edmund S. Buxton, until 11th
mo. 19th, 1825, when it was brought under the firm of Bux-
ton & Walling, and by them continued about a year. It
then, without intermitting its issues, passed into the hands of
Samuel B. Walling, the latter named partner, 11th mo. 11th
1826. At the latter part of the year, the editor states that
his subscription list is "now meagre indeed," but acknowl-
edges the punctuality of most of his subscribers. And un-
der date of 6lh mo. 18th, 1828 he says: "This number closes
the fourth volume of the Public Leger; and terminates its
existence." This paper was printed in a small, one story
frame house on lot No. 2, — Smith's addition. Nelson Boon
commenced a third paper 1st mo. 1st, 1831, under the title .
of Richmond Palladium, and conducted it for six months;
then passing into the hands of Thomas J. Larsh, it was con-
tinued by him for 18 months; afterward by D. P. Holloway
for one year; by Finley & Holloway two years; by John
Finley one year, and without intermission from i(s establish-
ment, it has been continued to the present time, by Holloway
and Davis, after Finley abandoned it in 1st mo. 1st, 1837.
The Jeffersonian was established in 1836 by an associa-
tion of Democrats, under the title of "Hickory Club." It
was principally edited by S. E. Perkins, (now one of the
40 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Judges of the Supreme Court,) and one Talcott, a young
lawyer. In the fall of 1837 Lynde Elliott purchased the
oflSce, and published and edited the paper till 1839, when its
publication was suspendid and the printing materials became
the property of Daniel Reed. In 1839, S. E. Perkins, Esq.
purchased the office of Reed and revived the Jeffersonian,
which he edited and published till 1840, when James Elder,
the present proprietor, purchased the office. Since that
time J. E. has published the paper, with the exception of
about six months, from the middle of 1846 to the beginning
of 1847, during which time E. A. Elder was the proprietor
and publisher.
At the office of the Leger was published the "Friends'
Almanac," for 1826-7. And at the office of the Palladium
was issued the ''Western Almanac" for 1841, by Wm. Cox.
The first literary paper printed in Richmond, was called
the Family Schoolmaster. The first No. is dated "March
15th, 1839." This little quarto was published by Holloway &
Davis, and was designed principally to amuse and interest the
young. It was abruptly discontinued, after it had reached
its 34th number.
The Indiana Farmer was commenced in 1851, by Hol-
loway & Dennis, and is continued. The Broad Jlxe of
Freedom, was first issued by Jamison & Johnson in 1855,
and published by them at the present time. The Lily, pre-
viously published in New York, by Amelia Bloomer, was re.
moved to this city in 1854 and continued by Mary B. Biid-
sall. It is now published by Mary F. Thomas.
I am informed that specimens of the Weekly Intelligencer
are yet in existence; and the writer has in his possession sev-
eral incomplete volumes of the Public Leger. But we

have as yet no Archives for the preservation of such relics
of former days.
EDITORS .
Elijah Lacy of the Richmond Weekly Intelligencer, re-
sided in this place so late as 1828. He afterward removed
to the State of Michigan, with his family, his aged father
accompaning him. Elijah was a man of small and slender
frame, and of a clear, sharp voice; his intelligence and integ-
rity procured him the magistracy of the young village,
John Scott, who, I believe, for a time edited the Intelli-
gencer, was Lacy's assistant printer; occasionally preached
or exhorted among the Methodists; and held the office of
Judge. When Buxton established the Leger here, Scott
removed to Centreville and began the Western Emporium;
and in 1826 he "prepared and published a Map of Indiana,"
on a sheet nineteen by fourteen inches. It was engraved by
William Woodruff, of Cincinnati.
Edmund S. Buxton came from the Gazette Office, at
Cincinnati. He was young, unmarried and poor; and was
largely assisted in the establishment of his press, by some of
the citizens. Many are the agreeable associations with the
Public Leger: the more agreeable, perhaps, because in it
were printed my first juvenile essays, "prose and poetical;"
and the essays of my older associates. Buxton was of mod-
erate stature; an agreeable man; but occasionally irascible.
He returned to Cincinnati and finally went to Natchez, Mis-
sissippi, where he was engaged in the office of the Galaxy,
a newspaper of that city.
Samuel B. Walling, an amiable young man, of ingenious
mind, and a thoughtful reader, came, I believe, from Union
42

county, la. He afterward married a daughter of Elijah La-
cy, and removed with him to Michigan, where he died of a
long afflicting dyspepsia.

were living here in 1807-8. By th3 foregoing table, we are
enabled to revive the names of many of the pioneers of this
country, besides those already given on other pages; and to
form a definite idea of the size of the families of these parties.
The whole number of names given above is fifty-sis, and the
number of persons two hundred and ninety-seven; giving
an average of more than five to each family. To these, I
add, from another source, Cornelius RatliS^ sr., eight in
family; Samuel Charles, — — in family, and John Pool (came
in 1810) six in family. With this addition, the average
number to each household, would exceed six in family .
FIRST SCHOOLMASTERS.
Educational facilities are never great in a newly settled
country. Children are not numerous, and when of servicea-
ble age, are needed at home; and thus school-teachers find
little inducement to locate in such a situation. The writer
is, however, informed of one, who opened school in a house
at the south part of town for the purpose of teaching read-
ing and writing; and these arts are said to have been rather
beyond the measure of his ability. He was a young man,
and did not continue his school long. His name the narra-
tor does not recollect, and it is probably forever lost to pos-
terity. It would be a matter of curiosity at this day to find
a specimen of his penmanship. Such a relic may possibly
bein the hands of some of our older citizens. If found, it
would deserve a place in the Archives of Richmond. Of
later date a school was taught by Atticus Siddall, and in
1822-3, the writer remembers Nathan Smith, a New Eng-
lander, and a man of spare frame, who was considered an ac-
complished teacher; and had a full school. The house in
44 REMINISCENCES OF THE
which he taught was a one-story frame, which stood oa Wal-
nut st. in what was then an open lot or commons. J It was in
this school house, that the first Debating Society was held.
In that day, this kind of association was very popular. The
writer remembers our present Mayor, as one of its members.
He was considered the village poet; and exercising his privi-
lege, he wrote a satirical poem on the characters of the
members of the infant society, of which the following are
specimens :
':="D. S. A., ». S. A.,

"Nathan Smith, Nathan Smith,

I neither shall blame nor applaud;
For in truth I must own,
That I let you alone.
For fear of your ferule and rod.
"(In conclusion I must give the writer a rub.)

H I S T O R Y O F RICHMOND. 45
Next to Nathan Smith, there occurs to the recollection of
the writer, the name of his successor, Jeremiah Smith, who
had the reputation of being a ready mathematician. He
was afterward Circuit Judge of this district.
HOME MANUFACTURES.
The editor of the Leger in 1827, urged the importance of
home manufactures. "The opinion," says he, "seems general-
ly to prevail, that the establishment of manufactures among
us, is the only means by which our situation can be rendered
really prosperous. Our luxurious farms," he adds, "would
yield a surplus produce. But no one will deny that if there
were a good home market, the progress of improvement
would be much more rapid," His opinion was, that "not
one-third of the land was cultivated that might be, or that
would be were there a lively and good market for their pro-
duce. "Since then," he continues, "manufactures promise so
much, it becomes us to foster the infant establishments al-
ready among us, and induce more." These infant establish-
ments are thus exhibited:
"The Messrs. King, adjoining this place, are extending
their woolen factory with laudable enterprise, which ought
not to go unrewarded. They have recently commenced the
manufacture of broadcloth, and in a manner which it is said
does credit to them.
"They have also commenced the manufacture of blankets
which, from our own view, we would pronounce superior to
those brought here by the merchants. Why not purchase
those articles of them?
"Two gentlemen, immediately from London, have recently
commenced the establishment of a Brewery at this place;
which we cannot doubt will prove eminently useful to the
country and profitable to the ^jroprietors. We cannot but
add a wish that their wholesome beverage may be used in
46 REMINISCENCES OF THE
the place of the burning whisky which is now so common
and which does so much mischief in society. [Mutatis mu-
tandis.^
"Mr. Smith is progressing finely with his Paper Mill; and
we hope, in the fall, to issue the IiCger on a sheet manufac-
tured at Richmond.
"Besides these establishments, we cannot entertain a single
doubt that others would flourish here; particularly a good
Sattinet Factory and a Cotton Factorr/. There is an im-
mense quantity of both of these articles used in this country;
and we know not why they should not be manufactured here
as cheap as in New England."
The Brewery alluded to, was conducted in the same place
in which "old Dr. Cushman" & Go. opened their distillery.
It was scarcely more successful than the distillery; and was
soon discontinued. The "hope" of the editor was disappoint-
ed by the sickness and death of the proprietor of the paper-
mill; his demise took place in the spring of 1828. He was
a Baltimorean; and resided here but a few few years previ-
ous to his death. The project of establishing a Paper-mill,
however, was not abandoned; and was finally put in opera-
tion by Leeds & Jones, under the superintendence of John
Easton, in the year 1830.
DIVISION OF BUSINESS.
As usuil in new countries, our commercial men performed
the part of dealers in silks and mackerel, gauze and tar, feath-
ers and iron, flour and arsenic, potatoes and medicine; every-
thing indeed, that was in demand, and would yield a profit.
They competed with the tanner in the purchase of hides,
and sale of "eastern tanned leather;" with the butcher in pay-
ing "cash for fat cattle;" and with the jeweler in the sale of
spectacles. They were the only grocers, the only booksellers
and stationers, the only iron-mongers and the only druggists.
HISTORY OF RICHBIOND. 47
Ik was considered quite an adventure when Haines & Far-
quhar commenced an independent Grocery in 1838; and
Benton & Fletcher a Hardware Store in 1846. The first
Drugstore is definitely announced in the annexed advertise-
ment, taken from the "Public L3ger," of the date named. The
parties were Dr. Warner & Eobert Morrisson :
WAllNEK & MORRISSON
XT AVE just opened, and intend keeping on hand, a large and general as-
•^^sortment of Drugs, Medicines, Oils, Paints, Dye-Stuffs, Patent Medi-
cines, &c., &c. All of which they will dispose of by Wholesale or Retail, at
the lowest prices.
Richmond, Sept. 5th, 1825.
But those times have gone by; and labor and business are
divided into almost as many branches as are to be found in
the larger cities; and the wants of the citizen can now be
very generally supplied at home, as will be evinced by the
accompaning Directory.
The curious reader may be entertained by comparing the
subjoined enumeration of the business part of Richmond in
1824, with the present mechanical, mercantile and profes-
sional division of our population. "Several gentlemen, "says
the Public Leger of the foregoing date, "having taken the
census of this place, have handed it to us for publication," viz:
"8 Dry Goods Stores, 3 large and respectable Taverns, a
Post Office and a Printing Office. There are also, 7 black-
smiths, 4 hatters, 4 cabinet-makers, 6 shoe-makers, 3 tailors,
3 coopers, 3 potters, 1 gunsmith, 1 saddler, 1 pump maker, 1
bake shop, and steam distillery, besides a large number of
carpenters, brick and stone masons, plasterers, &c. — of pro-
fessional men there are but two — physicians; of lawyers we
have NOT one, although every other town in the State abounds
with them."
From the typography at the close of the quotation, we
imagine the editor fairly chuckled at the meagre number of
some professional characters, and the total absence of others.
48 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Potters have long since disappeared from our city: on en-
quiry into the cause, some years since, I learned that this
was owing to the difficulty of procuring suitable clay, at re-
munerative prices. Our taverns have diminished in number,
in consequence of the late changes in the mode of traveling.
In the following year, the Leger might have added another
calling to this catalogue, as boldly announced in this adver-
tisement:
"LIQUOR STORE.
"The subscriber has just received, and has for sale, a quanti-
ty of foreign and domestic liquors, — consisting of French
Brandy, Peach Brandy, Rum, Wine, Gin, Cordial, Cherry

"Richmond, January, 7, 1825. JOHN SMITH."
Our literary antiquarians may be interested in knowing
that a
"RICHMOND LIBRARY"
was incorporated and established in the year 1826. An or-
dinary family book-case held the collection; and it was moved
from place to place as the trustees could find a librarian to
keep it.
Our medical friends may relish the following singular his-
torical items of their profession. It is the earliest notice of a

In this county, that I have met with. Its limits however,
appear to have been very extensive; embracing no less than
five counties:

HEALTH.
Richmond has always had the reputation of being a heal-
thy situation. The site which it occupies has never been
subject to the diseases so often incident to newly settled dis-
tricts. The first inhabitants attained a good old age, as is
elsewhere particularly shown, (see First Settlers,) and their
descendants and successors have greatly multiplied under
the salubrious sky. In 1821, the "Weekly Intelligencer''
mentions the situation of the town as "remarkably healthy."
And under date of 7th mo. 24th, 1824, a death is announced
in the "Public Leger:"
"Died — On Sunday night last, of inflammation of the
lungs, Benjamin Albertson, a member of the Society of
Friends. This is the first death in this town since the first of
November."
And T well remember that this death, the only one during
nearly nine months, in a population of almost half a thou-
sand, created such a sensation, throughout the village, that
an enquiry was set on foot to ascertain the cause of the sick-
7
50 REMINISCENCES OF THE
cess, and if possible, to remove it, that others might not fall
victims to it. No other ostensible cause appearing, the
citizens, duly armed with scythes and rakes, met upon the
commons, mowed the abundant dog-fennel, [Maruta cotula,)
raked into heaps and burned it.
In the days of the "Public Leger" at Richmond, and the
"Western Emporium" at Centreville, there was a good deal
of sparring between the editors on behalf of their respective
villages. Among the subjects commented upon was the
comparative healthiness of the two places. This contest
furnishes us with an item concerning the health of Richmond
up to the year 1825; as well as the conjectural population
at that time within a certain area. We copy all that con-
cerns our present purpose in the following language: "For
these reasons we notice a report circulated by Judge Scott,
that SEVEN persons have been buried in the grave-yard
at this place in ONE DAY. When it is known that the
farmers within a square of five miles, besides the citizens of
the town, making in the whole between 2,500 and 3000 in-
dividuals, bury their dead at the same place, the number will
not appear great. But persons who have resided in the
town ever since it was first laid o2^ declare, that there never
•were seven persons buried in one week, in this place."
According to the statements of Dr. Carrol furnished to
the present writer, the diseases of Wayne county from 1819
to 1823 were principally intermittent and remittent fever,
sometimes passing into a congestive form. A manuscript
written in 1844 states, that intermittent fever "has never
been prevalent." And an early inhabitant informed the
writer that "no intermittent fever was known for six to ten
years after the first emigration to this country." And now a
HISTORY OF*RICHMOND. 51
word for later periods. I find the following in the "Rich-
mond Palladium:"
"The number of deaths in tkc city of Richmond during the month
of August, 1857, were —
Under one year, 5
Between three and four years, 1
"Total, 6"
This is generally the most fatal month for children in this
latitude, and yet in a population of 6000, there appears to
have been but six deaths during this month, and all of these
children under four years of age.
The reader may conclude that this has been an extraor-
dinary season of heathfulness. I'he writer has kept a record
of deaths furnished him by the sexton an<i undertaker for
the last ten years, and the result is that the number of deaths
monthly for that period, does not exceed Jive^. In the years
1850-1, they scarcely exceeded iuo per month. In 1853,
the deaths were between three and four monthly. These
numbers include accidental deaths, as well as deaths from all
other causes; and a few not citizens. During the violence
of cholera in the year 1849, there were two months in which
the deaths from that cause perhaps somewhat exceeded
twenty,
TURNPIKE S.
The establishment of the national road through Rich-
mond, very naturally inspired our citizens with a zest for ad-
ditional improvement; an outlet was opened for us by the
nation: it was left to us to empty the produce of the coun-
ty into it, by running turnpikes in all feasible directions
through the county. Previous to this, however, the nation-
al road became itself a corporated turnpike. The General
52 REMINISCENCES OF THE
Government having relinquished the road to the States
through which it passed, after opening, grading and bridg-
ing it, application was made to the State legislature for the
incorporation of Wayne County Turnpike Company; and
a charter was granted for that purpose in the winter of
1849-50, and the road was completed in 1850, — since which
it has greatly facilitated western emigration; 700 wagons of
movers sometimes passing through Richmond, in the course
of six days. The Williamsburgh turnpike was completed in
1850. The Newport turnpike and the Boston turnpike some-
what earlier; the Liberty turnpike and the Middleboro
turnpike a few years later. Thus we have well paved roads
running from Ricfcm.ond into the country in an east and west,
north and south, north-east, south-west and north-west direc-
tions; giving ready access to a large scope of country, and
facilitating the ingress of a large population to our city.
CANAL.
During a system of internal improvement commenced by
the State government in 1836, the " Whitewater Canal
Company" obtained a charter to construct a canal from
Cambridge, at the western side of this county, to Lawrence-
burg, on the Ohio river, by way of Brookville. Authority
was likewise granted, in 1838, to the "Richmond and Brook-
ville Canal Company," to open a like communication be-
tween these two points. The former canal was completed
by the pecuniary assistance of the State; the latter was
undertaken without such aid. According to the engineer's
measurement, the distance to Brookville, in the route of the
proposed canal, was nearly 34 miles; the estimated cost
about $508,000; whole lockage, 273 feet; Richmond alone

taking $50,000. The work was let to the amount of
$80,000, and about $45,000 expended. The enterprise was
then abandoned; but patches of ditches and embankments
yet remain to testify to our inefficient willingness to accom-
plish a great work. The anticipated value of such a water
connection with Cincinnati is thus portrayed in the report of
Simpson Torbert, the engineer; — it w^ supposed the work
could be completed in three or four years, and would " open
with a trade equal to 50,000 tons annually," yielding a rev-
enue of $32,250 per annum:
"There would be many advantages growing out of its
construction, the benefits of which can scarcely be antici-
pated. It would be the channel through which all the trade
of one of the most populous, fertile and wealthy regions of
the western country would pass. Richmond, situated at the
head of navigatior, with its vast water-power, extensive cap-
ital, and enterprising inhabitants, might become the Pitts-
burg OF Indiana. In short, the whole country within its
reach would by invigorated — new sources of trade, which
are now unknown, or lying dormant for the want of an out-
let, would be developed; among which may be enumerated
pine, and mineral coal, from the Ohio river — the former for
building, and the latter for fuel. As a natural consequence,
largo tracts of fertile lands, now an unproductive forest,
would soon be brought into profitable cultivation, and
thereby contribute towards the general wealth and pros-
perity."
Although Richmond missed this opportunity of becoming
the PUfsburg of Indiana, it was well for her citizens that
the great undertaking was arrested as soon as it was. Un-
foreseen floods, with a fall of 273 feet in 84 miles would
have washed it to ruins, at a total loss to the stockholders
of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The very first day of
the year 1847 "will be remembered as a day of almost
54 REMINISCENCES OF THE
utter destruction." On the Whitewater Canal, " aqueducts,
bridges, locks and embankments, from Cambridge to Laurel,
are either swept away or greatly damaged," says a reporter.
This destruction our canal escaped by not being completed.
Failing in this enterprise, our citizens next turned their
attention to
RAILROADS;
and it was a great day for Eichmond when, in the projection
of these, our city was made a point. In the year 1853, a
coirmunication of this kind was effected between this city
and Cincinnati, by way of Dayton. In the seme year a sim-
ilar road was completed from Richmond to Cincinnati, by
way of Eaton, and another to Indianapolis. The Cincinnati
and Chicago road was completed from Richmond to Logans-
port during the present year; and the Richmond and Fort
Wayna road is in the course of construction. In a word,
Richmond was soon interwoven into the great network of
railroads spread over the country.
From this period we may date the third and most pros-
perous era of our city. All that was anticipated from such
an outlet to a market, and more, has been realized. An ex-
pansion of the town immediately commenced, and has stead-
ily continued to the present time. Richmond has received
an impulse heretofore unknown to her history. Prices have
been greatly enhanced; manufacturing establishments of
various kinds have been multiplied ; and business generally
increased. We may yet become the " Pittsburg of Indiana,"
without the aid of a canal. The following

articles would be governed by other causes; fruit is often
higher in a new country, in consequence of the scarcity of
orchards, than in long-settled districts.

THE KEPLETENESS OF OUR POPULATION
indicated by the paragraph below, cut from the Palladivm
of 1835, is equally true of all subsequent years to the present
time. It has always, within the recollection of the writer,
been a rare thing to find upon a house in Richmond the
notice, " To Let." A house will scarcely be vacated before
there will be, in the same day, perchance, half a dozen appli-
cants for it. Whatever may be the future destiny of our
city, this has been the current reality for years past; and the
tendency of this state of things is to induce those who are
able to do so to purchase and build for themselves, if they
desire a habitation among us. " Our town," says the Palla-
dium, " has been, for a few weeks, crowded with strangers.
Many have been compelled to leave for the want of suitable
tenements to accommodate their families, and even boarding
is difficult to be had among private families. We hope it
will not long be thus. We think our capitalists might make
a profitable investment of their funds, by erecting houses to
rent, so great is the influx of emigrants."

PROGRESS OF OUR POPULATION.

in Richmond,
In 1818, was within 200
In 1819, about 350

For want of statistics, which may yet come to light, for a
future edition of this work, we are compelled to leave blanks
for many subsequent years. And, in later years, we are
under the necessity of indicating the population by the ratio
of increase of the polls; thus.
In 1842 the number of polls was 879

In the year 1848 the polls were 392, and the population,

polls about 15 per cent, of the population ; and, if this
should prove to be a correct measure for other years, the

which, it is presumed, is not very far from the truth. But it
must be borne in mind that, in these estimates, the thick
population of the immediate vicinity is not included; the
calculations being made for the rigid limits of the Corpora-
tion proper.
The poll-tax for the county, in 1826, was 2,291; which,
according to the same mode of calculation, would give a
county population of 15,273; the poll-tax for the present
year being 4,021, and the estimated total population, at the
same time, 28,500.
The total number of polls in Wayne county at last Presi-
dential election, 1856, was 5,756; Wayne Township, 1,681.
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.
Most of the earliest residents of Wayne county were mem-
bers of the Society of Friends. The attentive reader will
have noticed a specimen of their scriptural way of dating in the
proceedings of the first town meeting, given on page twenty-
one. A meeting of this society was established here as early as
1807, and was first held in a log building vacated by Jere-
miah Cox, and by him furnished with seats; soon afterward
in the log building, referred to and characterized on page
thirty-three. Jesse Bond, John Morrow and William Wil-
liams were among their earliest ministers.
Whatever the religious educational predilections of others
may have been at that time, they either attended the meet-
ings of Friends, or staid at home. The chief religious divis-
ion in the community, was into Friends and Nothingarians;
the lives of the former giving quite a tone to the principles
and practices of the latter, even in many instances inducing

them almost imperceptibly to adopt the use of the plain
language by habitual contact.
The next religious denomination that established a society
here was the Methodist Episcopal. The first meeting was held
in 1819 in a small log house on Front street. Daniel Fraley
was perhaps the first Methodist preacher in this section of
country. He officiated as chaplain in 1814 to Chryst, the first
legally convicted murderer in Wayne county. John W. Sul-
livan was the first stationed Methodist minister in Eich-
mood.
Iq this connexion, it may be proper to mention that in the
year 1826 that eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow, visited
Richmond, and delivered one or two sermons in the large
brick meeting house of the Friends. Part of his discoirj-j
was on the reconciliblity of Justice with Mercy, in the Di-
vine Character. He put up at the house of our now aged
friend, John Barnes, on Front street; this was a frame build-
ing on lot No. 15, and is now no more. Lorenzo's traveling
expenses were paid in part, by the sale of a 'Family Medi-
cine," as he termed it. This consisted, as he told the writer, of
Epsom salts dissolved in water, with the addition of nitric
acid. It was recommended as valuable in bilious derange-
ments. The medicine was patented; the patent having ex-
pired, he applied for an extension of the time; "for" said he,
"the sale of the medicine thus far, has not enabled one hand
to wash the other,"
The first Presbyterian church (old school) was establish-
ed in Richmond in 1837, by T. E. Hughes and P. H. Golli-
day, with twenty-eight members. The first minister in regu-
lar charge was Charles Sturdevant. "The congregation,"
says the report of one of its members, "have erected a beau-
60 REMINISCENCES OF THE
tiful church edifice 45 by 65 feet, which, when entirely finish-
ed, will cost about $10,000."
The "English Evangelical Lutheran congregation'' was
organized in Richmond in 1853. In the course of the suc-
ceeding summer "a chaste and convenient church edifice," says
D. S. Altman, the minister of this congregation, "was erect-
ed at an expense of $7000, principally by the generosity of
Lewis Burk," one of our citizens. The present number of
communicants reported by the same authority, is twenty-five.
In the year 1828, a division took place in the Society of
Friends in this place. One part claiming the ancient name
of Friends; the other, assuming the title of "Orthodox
Friends." The large brick meeting house, just north of town,
was retained by the latter; the former erected two frame
buildings each 60 by 40 feet on a lot at the junction of Ft.
Wayne Avenue and Franklin street, and marked B in Dewy's
Plot of the city of Richmond. The "Orthodox Friends'"
meeting house was erected in 1823, is 100 feet long by 60
feet wide and 30 feet high. The walls are 22 inches thick
in the first story, 18 in the second; and they consumed
266,000 bricks.
The "Catholic Church" was organized here in 1846; and
a meeting house erected in 1847 on south Pearl street. The
dimensions of the building have not been furnished. It is a
neat, but comparatively small and plain brick house, of one
high story. — "Membership," says the reporter, "700."
"St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church, in Richmond, was organ-
ized in 1838." George Fiske, was the first missionary of this
denomination in Richmond, and officiated as early as 1837.
He was elected Rector of the church in 1838, and contin-
ued in that capacity till 1855, when he resigned on account

of ill health. The present Rector is John B. Wakefield. —
At the time of this organization there were twelve commu-
nicants; the present number is fifty-one. "The church edifice
and parsonage house, belonging to the Parish, including the
ground, have cost about $13,000. The church is clear of
debt."' The size of the building has not been obtained. It
is probably the largest house for worship ia the city.
The German Evangelical Lutheian church in Richmond,
was organized in the 1845. A brick house for worship was
erected in 1846, on south Front street, and enlarged in 1855,
costing about $6,000.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church, situated on
south Marion street, was organized in 1836, and number fifty-
four members. They meet in a two-story frame building.
OUR PRESENT CONDITION.
For the number of our day-laborers and lawyers,* the

A little upwards of fifty years ago, where nettles and grass,
arising from a mellow vegetable mold, grew to a height suf-
ficient to hide a horse, there now treals a busy and thriving
population of more than six thousand inhabitants, dwelling
in substantial brick buildings, two, three and four stories
high. And, instead of the yell of the Indian in the solitude
of a forest, is heard the hum of a city in an open plain.
The extent of the Corporation limits north and south is
about a mile and a half, and east and west about three-

quarters of a mile, with abundant room without, for further
expan.sion.
Among the Public Buildings, there is erected on north
Fifth-street a District Sciionr. Housr, 71 feet long, by 61
feet in width, and 40 feet in height. It is a staunch brick
building, costing about $;14 000, paid by a tax upon the
citizens. It was erected in 1854.
The Starr Hall, owned by James M. Starr, is 95 feet
long, by 46 feet wide, and three stories high, and was com-
pleted in the present year, at an expense of about $10,000.
It stands on the north side of Main street, near Marion. The
Hall is devoted to public meetings and entertainments of
various kinds.
The Houses for Worship have already been noticed.
The Warner Building has also been named. It stands
on north Pearl-street, east side, near Main, and is used for
public meetings, lectures, &c.
The Public Square, the gift of John Smith, the early
proprietor of South Richmond, consists of one acre of
ground, well laid in grass and partially shaded with trees,
and enclosed iu a substantial and neat board fence. A small
brick building stands upon the north side, and is used prin-
cipally for a school-house.
The city is furnished with three P'ire Engines, with their
accompanying hooks, ladders, hose, &c.
An extensive system of Grading, Drainage and Paving
was commenced in 1848, on Front-street, and has been pros-
ecuted annually to the present time, giving to our town a
more city-like appearance, and conducing to the healthful-
ness of the place.

Our Banks are : a Branch of the State i?ank, begun in
1834; the Citizens' Bank, in 1852; the Wayne County
Bank (afterward People's Bank), in 1853; and Branch of
the Bank of the State of Indiana, in 1857 — all on the north
side of Main-street. The Citizens' Banking-house is among
the most splendid buildings in the city.
In the vicinity of Richmond we have : " 22 Flouring
Mills, 24 Saw Mills, 1 Oil Mill, 2 Paper Mills, and a large
number of Woolen Factories." We add : 2 very large
brick houses, several stories high, devoted to Boarding
Schools. The larger one is owned by the " Orthodox
Friends;"' the other is private property. Both are witbin
a mile or two of Richmond, the one west, the other south of
the city. Also, several extensive Nurseries; a Floricultural
establishment; 2 Sash, Blind, Door and Flooriog Mills; a
Cutlery Manufactory; a Shoe Peg Manufactory; a Soap
and Candle Factory, beside two in town, in the limits of
which we find two or three Coal-yards, Machine-shops, Man-
